With
quick approval by the state Land Conservation and Development Commission Bend’s
much discussed and revised Urban Growth Boundary plan is now moving to implementation.
The
LCDC approval announced Nov. 15 paves the way for the city to add nearly 2,400
acres to the current city boundary, with 70% of new development to be infill
within the current city limits. The city submitted the new proposal in early October.
Implementation
of the plan will require zoning changes in some cases. Appeals to the decision musts
be submitted by Dec. 5.
