6A/(0 ² The state 6en
ate passed leJislation )riday
to reYerse a year ban on
reTuirinJ deYelopers to include
affordable housinJ units in their
plans.
The bill to alloZ inclusion
ary ]oninJ is part of a lastmin
ute deal betZeen laZmaNers
and builders and real estate
lobbyists to address the state¶s
affordable housinJ shortaJe.
³,n a hot marNet liNe 3ort
land, many people are moY
inJ into toZn Zho can afford
the , a month for a small
apartment,´ said state 6en.
0ichael DembroZ, D3ortland,
Zho cosponsored the bill.
“But it means the people
Zho JreZ up in those neiJhbor
hoods are forced to move far
aZay.´
The proposal, noZ headed
to the +ouse , alloZs local Jov
Projects of 20 or
more units
The inclusionary ]oninJ
provision applies only to multi
family housinJ proMects Zith
or more units. The units Zould
be available to those Zho earn
up to percent of area median
household income. ,n 3ort
land, that is about , a
year, accordinJ to the Ameri
can &ommunity 6urvey.
“,t¶s a little disturbinJ for
some of our communities
because they Zould liNe room to
provide more housinJ for to
percent population because
that¶s Zhere they are seeinJ the
Lifts construction tax

6A/(0 ² The latest
version of a bill to double
the state¶s reneZable enerJy
mandate Zould also e[pand
incentives to build and oper
ate poZer plants that burn
Zood.
6tate l aZmaNers added
a provision on biomass to
the bill Thursday niJht in
an effort to Jain support of
state 6en. Chris (dZards,
D(uJene, Zho Zas pre
viously luNeZarm on the
leJislation.
Biomass is politically
popular in rural areas of the
state and communities Zith
timber mills Zhere Zood
Zaste can be used as fuel. At
the same time, some envi
ronmentalists have ques
tioned Zhether biomass
should qualify as reneZ
able enerJy, and researchers
have found burninJ Zood
can release more carbon
than coal.
The reneZable enerJy
bill movinJ throuJh the
/eJislature Zould require
3aci¿ Corp and 3ortland
*eneral (lectric to stop
usinJ coal poZer to serve
their OreJon customers. It
Zould also require the utili
ties use sources such as solar
and Zind to serve percent
of their customers¶ enerJy
demand by . The +ouse
passed the bill last ZeeN.
“)or those of us that have
been looNinJ for a path for
Zard for biomass viability
as a poZer source, this is
the most substantial piece
of leJislation Ze¶ve had,”
(dZards said durinJ a hear
inJ on the bill at the +ouse
Committee on 5ules Thurs
day niJht. (dZards said bio
mass incentives Zould help
create or Neep Mobs in Ore
Jon, Jiven that even a south
ern OreJon saZmill oZner
had recently told (dZards
he planned to shut doZn
a biomass plant because it
Zould be cheaper to use nat
ural Jas.
The House Committee
on 5ules ultimately voted
on Thursday to insert the
latest version of the reneZ
able enerJy bill, includinJ
the biomass provision, into
another piece of leJisla
tion and send that bill to the
House for a À oor vote. They
did so in order to revive the
bill after it stalled in the face
of 5epublican opposition in
the 6enate.
5epublicans in the 6en
ate, Zho oppose the bill, are
draftinJ a minority report.
There is no deadline to pro
duce the report, so the move
could prevent the measure
from cominJ to a vote before
the end of the session.

of the 2reJon +ome Build

increasinJ the affordable
housinJ stocN in a Zay that
Zon¶t put the burden on build
ers to the point that proMects

The bill passed the 6en
ate )riday Zith bipar
tisan support. If approved in
the +ouse and siJned by *ov.

the only state that still bans
inclusionary ]oninJ.
6en. Ted )errioli, 5John
Day, and some other 5epub
licans spoNe out aJainst the
bill )riday. +e said the mea
sure places another obstacle to
constructinJ housinJ. +e said
land use laZs and an “iron
band on communities that are
developed” are the main bar
riers to solvinJ the state¶s
affordable housinJ shortaJe.
Other components of the
housinJ deal include increas
inJ notice for raisinJ rents
in the ¿ rst year of monthto
month tenancies, establishinJ
a pilot proJram for e[pand
inJ an urban JroZth bound
ary for the purpose of buildinJ
affordable housinJ and alloZ
inJ anne[ation Zith a petition
by landoZners instead of by
election. All three measures
are in the queue for a vote in
the 6enate in the ne[t several
days.
