This chapter is intended to implement the provisions added to O.R.S. Chapter 197 by Ballot Measure 37 (November 2, 2004). These provisions establish a prompt, open, thorough, and consistent process that enables property owners an adequate and fair opportunity to present claims, while at the same time allowing the city to review the claim and make an appropriate determination of its validity and what remedy might be available; establishes a record for the city’s administration of its land use program in the future; and collects sufficient information to be capable of judicial review. Adoption of this chapter is authorized by Ballot Measure 37, Section 7.
