and Why

Many Orrgunians. native or
othrrwis. would like to build
a fence at the borders to turn
bark the people ho are ml
crating to Oregon from the oth
er 49 atatea. and brlneln with
thorn the many problems that
always accompany growth and
development
This Isn't a very practical so
lution, though. As an alterna
tive. Oreconlans In many areas
of the state are sitting down
together now and making plans
that will Insure orderly devel
opment and growth of their
areas.
One of the most useful tools
for the planners Is toning to
guide land use. A good zoning
ordinance will help a commu
nltv develop to Its fullest po
tential while preserving the
qualities that make the com
munity a desirable place for
people to live: qualities such as
pure air. clean water, pleasant
surroundings and areas that
provide opportunities for out
door recreation. Zoning can al
so prevent urban blight a dis
ease that attacks communities
where haphazard, unregulated
land use spreads sprawling sub
divisions, shopping centers and
garbage dumps over the coun
tryside. Urban sprawl can block
construction development and
increase the tax burden while
driving out farming and keep
ing other tax-producing indus
try away.
How does a county or com
munity get a good zoning ordi
nance written and passed? In
Union county, to take an exam
ple of a county that passes a
well-thought out. effective zon
ing ordinance, first step was
for the County Court to appoint
a County Planning Commission. I son of Mr. and Mrs. William J.
The commission then met with van Winkle, Lexington, com-

local planning commissi o n s,
school board members, county
courts, extension specialist nad
economists from Oregon State
University, and others, to ob
tain background information
and to find how other areas
had arrived at zoning ordinan
ces.
The commissioners also met
with the leadership In all in
corporated cities of the county,
to obtain assistance and advice
in zoning areas surrounding
these cities. Under the state law,
they then adopted an interim
ordinance that allowed them to
do some zoning while the per
manent complete zoning ordi
nance was being prepared. .
Land use maps that indicate
the use of each piece of prop
erty in the county were prepared
and used to establish guide
lines for countywide zoning. Fi
nal step was to prepare a com
plete, countywide zoning ordi
nance, which was approved by
the County Court after a series
of public hearings. The entire
process took approximately six
years. Union county is now one
of two counties in the state with
countywide zoning.
During the entire six year
process, people living and work-
pleted a basic Army adminis
tration course at Fort Ord, Cal

lng In the county were kept In
formed at every step along the
way. They were told, through
newspapers, at public meetings.
through talks given by the plan
ners at meetings of civic orga
nizations and other groups, why
and how the zoning plans were
being made. Keeping people in
formed and getting their sup
port for zoning is essential if
land use planning Is to be ef
fective.
This same process can be ap
plied to your own problems of
land use planning. One of the
best places to start is at your

national resources to assist you
