Land use plan creates friction
Two ASUO
groups face
budget freeze
Two more ASUO-fund
ed programs have had
their budget monies
frozen
Women in Transition
and Tabard Inn/Pot &
Quill had their budgets
frozen because "they are
not organized,” says
David Gibson, ASUO vice
president of administra
tion and finance The
ASUO has been unable to
contact the directors of
the programs, he says
The Physically Limited
Union of Students had its
funds frozen two weeks
ago for the same reason
Gibson says groups with
frozen funds need to have
their recognized directors
contact the ASUO and
discuss the organizations'
situations before the
monies will be released
Women in Transition is
a three-year-old program
for women re-entering
school after an absence
The group has a budget of
$2,154
Tabard Inn/Pot & Quill
is a new group that
received funding of $300
The program “encour
ages students' self ex
pression in all the creative
arts." according to the
organization’s written de
scription

Most parties agree Oregon's land use
planning process has room for im
provement. But the method to be used is the
subject of a controversy that can only be
decided at the polls Nov 2.
Proponents of Ballot Measure 6 — a
proposal to abolish all statewide land use
planning laws and the Land Conservation
and Development Commission — want all
planning decisions returned to the local
level, while opponents believe the state
system needs only minor changes
The LCDC's statewide planning goals
would become only advisory under Mea
sure 6, but each city and county would
maintain a master land use plan.
PRO
Measure 6 proponents say the complexi
ties of Senate Bill 100, which was passed in
1973 to give land-use planning authority to
the state, discourage new industry from
locating in Oregon
Ed Fechtel, chairman of the board of
directors of Oregon Citizens for Fair Land
Planning Inc., says several companies have
wanted to locate in Oregon or Oregon firms
have wanted to expand, but they were not
willing to put up with the state's land use
laws Oregon Citizens for Fair Land Plan
ning coordinated Ballot Measure 6
Seven years ago, Data General wanted to
build on the Cone-Breeden site in Eugene
The high-technology firm waited for five
years while individuals made an appeal to
LCDC on its zoning, says Fechtel.
The firm ended up moving to North Ca
rolina, where it now employs 5,000 people.
Thousands of other potential jobs have
been lost due to similiar time delays at
tributed to Oregon's current land-use
process, Fechtel says
Fechtel says proponents of statewide
planning consider LCDC to be "the ones
who are capable of determining how much
nf—'it v,"'"7/ ■■ »
freedom people are to be allowed
A recent report by the Stanford Research
Institute International found it takes three to
five times as long to get a project through in
Portland as in Vancouver, Wash , and other
cities, Fechtel says
Election '82
Ballot Measures
The Fantus Report, released earlier this
year, rated Lane County according to what
criteria industries consider when choosing
a relocation site
The report cited the power of "no
growth" interests to block development,
lack of compromise by either side on
economic development issues, and the
shortage of suitable industrial sites as det
riments to industry relocation.
Although two similiar ballot measures
failed in 1976 and 1978, Fechtel says four
years have allowed people to "become
familiar with the processes" and their det
rimental effect.
"When the economy of this area is ab
solutely dying, this law is absurd," Fechtel
says
CON
Opponents of Measure 6 say statewide
, i,,, .. i it u ,
land planning ensures industry land is
available, vacant and suitable
Robert Liberty, staff attorney with 1000
Friends of Oregon, says the idea that
Oregon's economic development has been
hurt due to SB 100 is "flatly incorrect."
“No one has been able to show Oregon is
slower than anywhere else" in providing
available land, Liberty says.
In the last six years, vacant land zoned for
industry increased 79 percent in Oregon's
10 largest cities, Liberty says
Gov. Vic Atiyeh s task force on the impact
of Oregon's land use planning program
reported that, while some industries had not
located in Oregon because of land-use
decisions, “it was not possible to pinpoint a
single industry that had. beyond a doubt,
failed to locate in Oregon solely because of
state-mandated land use planning.”
Current economic problems are the result
of bad local planning and delays in local
cooperation in the past, while the economic
benefits of statewide authority in planning
will be seen "in 10 years," Liberty says.
Liberty praises Oregon’s current "pro
gressive'' program as a "national
precedent," with Hawaii having the only
similar legislation.
The system's consideration of both urban
development and resource conservation
aspects in decision making makes it the
"most advanced" in the nation, he says
The LCDC checks local plans for consis
tency with statewide goals. When they
comply, they are approved for development,
Liberty says.
Thus, the LCDC "forces them (local
government planners) to make policy deci
sions, be specific in their plans, and do the
work.”
Both opponents and proponents of the
measure claim support from a broad cross
section of Oregonians
Liberty says "a lot of farmers," including
the recently formed group Agriculture
Against 6, oppose the measure
