When a DLCD Measure 37 Waiver Was Required

Before a Claimant could lawfully use Measure 37 Claim Property for a use under a Measure 37 Waiver, the Claimant must have obtained a DLCD Measure 37 Waiver for that use of the Measure 37 Claim Property in all cases where that use was restricted by a DLCD Regulation or by a city, county or Metro Land Use Regulation that implements a DLCD Regulation. These cases include, but are not limited to, all cases where the use is a use of land, and the Measure 37 Claim Property includes:

(1) Land zoned for farm use under Goal 3;

(2) Land zoned for forest use under Goal 4; or

(3) Land outside of an acknowledged urban growth boundary where the Claimant's desired use of the Measure 37 Claim Property was an urban use under Goal 14, or that use included the establishment or extension of a sewer or water system restricted under Goal 11.

Effect of 2007 Ballot Measure 49 on DLCD Measure 37 Waivers

Any authorization for a Claimant to use Measure 37 Claim Property without application of a DLCD Regulation provided by a DLCD Measure 37 Waiver expired on December 6, 2007, as did the effect of any order of DLCD denying a Claim. A Claimant may continue an existing use of Measure 37 Claim Property that was authorized under ORS 197.352 (2005). A Claimant may complete a use of Measure 37 Claim Property that was begun prior to December 6, 2007, only if the Claimant had a common law vested right to complete and continue that use on December 6, 2007, and the use complies with the terms of any applicable DLCD Measure 37 Waiver.

State Agency and Special District Land Use Coordination and DLCD Measure 37 Waivers

After December 5, 2007, when a state agency or a special district is required to take an action in a manner that complies with the Statewide Planning Goals and that is compatible with comprehensive plans and land use regulations under ORS 197.180 (for a state agency), or under ORS 195.020 (for a special district), the state agency or special district must not take that action if it involves a use of Measure 37 Claim Property based on a Measure 37 Waiver. After December 5, 2007, any authorization to not apply a Land Use Regulation based on a DLCD Measure 37 Waiver has expired, and a DLCD Measure 37 Waiver may not serve as the basis for a finding required under ORS 197.180 or 195.020. This rule does not apply to a use that was lawfully established or vested based on a DLCD Measure 37 Waiver on December 6, 2007.

(7) Based on the record, DLCD will prepare a Final Decision on the Claim, which either will deny the authorization of home sites or will approve the specific number of home sites under section 6 or section 7 of Measure 49 to which the Claimant is entitled. If approved, the Final Decision will authorize the county with land use jurisdiction over the Measure 37 Claim Property to approve a permit to allow the number of home sites approved.

(8) Following issuance of the Final Decision, the owner of the Measure 37 Claim Property may file an application with the county with land use jurisdiction over the Measure 37 Claim Property for a permit to establish home sites authorized under the Final Decision.

(9) For good cause shown, DLCD may extend any time period under this rule.

Determining What Was Lawfully Permitted on the Claimant’s Acquisition Date

(1) A Claimant lawfully was permitted to establish one or more lots, parcels or dwellings on the Claimant’s acquisition date if DLCD determines that the characteristics of the Measure 37 Claim Property as it existed on that date, including the size, soil quality and location of the Measure 37 Claim Property, would have allowed the Claimant to satisfy the standards and criteria for approval of the lot, parcel or dwelling in effect on that date.

(2) Based on the Claimant’s acquisition date, as determined under ORS 195.328, DLCD will apply the following standards and criteria to determine the number of lots, parcels or dwellings that were lawfully permitted:

(a) If the Claimant’s acquisition date is prior to January 25, 1975, DLCD will apply the applicable local land use regulations and comprehensive plan provisions, if any, along with any directly-applicable state statutes;

(b) If the Claimant’s acquisition date is on or after January 25, 1975 but before the date the county with land use jurisdiction over the Measure 37 Claim Property had its applicable comprehensive plan and land use regulations acknowledged by LCDC for compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals, DLCD will directly apply the Statewide Planning Goals, applicable state statutes and existing DLCD regulations. To determine the number of lots, parcels or dwellings that were lawfully permitted under the Statewide Planning Goals, DLCD will apply the first acknowledged local land use regulations, unless the evidence in the record, including but not limited to, county Measure 37 waivers or local land use determinations issued at the time the property was acquired, establishes that a greater number of lots, parcels or dwellings would have been lawfully permitted; and

(c) If the Claimant’s acquisition date is on or after the date the county with land use jurisdiction over the Measure 37 Claim Property had its applicable comprehensive plan and local land use regulations acknowledged by LCDC for compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals, DLCD will apply the applicable local land use regulations and comprehensive plan provisions along with any directly-applicable state statutes, Statewide Planning Goals, or LCDC rules.

Evaluation of Measure 37 Contiguous Property in Supplemental Review

(1) For purposes of the Supplemental Review of a Claim, ownership of contiguous property will be determined and evaluated as of the date the Claimant Elected relief under section 6 or section 7 of Measure 49.

Procedures for Measure 49 Claims

(1) A Measure 49 Claim must be Filed by the Owner of the Property or an authorized agent of the Owner. A Measure 49 Claim must be Filed on a claim form available from DLCD at the address provided in this rule, or from DLCD’s website, and must contain all information required by the form. Claims may not be submitted by facsimile or electronically.

(2) A Measure 49 Claim must be Filed with DLCD at: Measure 49 Claims, 635 Capitol St. NE, Suite 150, Salem 97301-2540

(3) If the Measure 37 Claim was Filed after June 28, 2007, but before December 6, 2007, and if no corresponding claim was filed for the Property with the city or county with land use jurisdiction over the Property prior to June 29, 2007, the Measure 37 Claim is deemed Filed on December 6, 2007 for purposes of ORS 195.312.

(4) DLCD’s form for a Measure 49 Claim will require at least the following information:

(a) The name and mailing address of each Claimant and each Owner of the Property.

(b) Evidence establishing that each Claimant is an Owner of the Property.

(c) The consent to the Measure 49 Claim by each Owner of the Property if there are Owners of the Property other than the Claimant, which consent must be notarized.

(d) A description of the Claimant’s specific desired use of the Property, which use must be a residential use or a Farming Practice or a Forest Practice. The description must be sufficiently specific to establish that each Land Use Regulation listed under paragraph (g) of this rule applies to and restricts the Claimant’s desired use.

(e) The location of the Property by reference to:

(A) The township, range, section and tax lot number for each Lot or Parcel that makes up the Property;

(B) The street address of each Lot or Parcel that makes up the Property, if a street address has been assigned;

(D) If the Property is located within a city, the name of that city.

(f) Evidence of each Claimant’s Acquisition Date, as provided in ORS 195.328;

(g) A listing of each specific New Land Use Regulation that is alleged to restrict the Claimant’s desired use of the Property, and for each New Land Use Regulation listed, a description of how that regulation restricts the Claimant’s desired use of the property;

(h) An appraisal of the reduction in the fair market value of the Property caused by the enactment of each listed New Land Use Regulation as provided in ORS 195.310.

(5) DLCD will review a Measure 49 Claim to determine whether it complies with the requirements of ORS 195.310 to 195.312. If the Measure 49 Claim is incomplete, within sixty (60) days of receiving the Claim, DLCD will notify the person who filed the Claim of the information that is missing. The notification will be in writing. A Measure 49 Claim is complete when DLCD receives:

(a) The missing information;

(b) Part of the missing information and written notice from the Claimant that the remainder of the missing information will not be provided; or

(6) If a Claimant submits a request in writing for additional time to provide missing information, DLCD may for good cause shown agree to provide such additional time, which agreement must be in writing. An agreement to allow additional time has the effect of abating the time requirements under ORS 195.312 and 195.314, until the date specified in the agreement.

(7) If DLCD does not notify the Claimant within sixty (60) days after a Measure 49 Claim is Filed that information is missing from the Claim, the Claim is deemed complete when Filed.

(8) If the Claimant does not respond in writing to the written notification from DLCD under section (5) of this rule within sixty (60) days of the date the written notification was sent, the Claim is deemed withdrawn.

(9) DLCD will provide notice of a Measure 49 Claim as provided by ORS 195.314. The notice will describe the Measure 49 Claim and specify a deadline by which written evidence and arguments must be Filed.

(10) DLCD will mail a copy of its final determination to the Claimant and to any person who timely filed written evidence or arguments.

Coordinating with Other Regulating Entities

(1) If the Measure 49 Claim is based, in whole or in part, on a New Land Use Regulation that was enacted by an Agency other than DLCD, or the New Land Use Regulation is a state statute that is administered by an Agency other than DLCD, DLCD will forward the Claim to that Agency.

(2) When a Measure 49 Claim is based, in whole or in part, on a New Land Use Regulation for which there is no Regulating Entity, DLCD will forward the Claim to the Department of Administrative Services.

(3) When a Regulating Entity other than DLCD is wholly responsible for a Measure 49 Claim, that Regulating Entity will process the Claim using the procedures set forth in OAR 660-041-0520 unless that Regulating Entity has adopted its own procedures for review.

(4) When a Regulating Entity other than DLCD is partially responsible for a Measure 49 Claim, DLCD will coordinate the review of the Claim under the procedures set forth in OAR 660-041-0520. However, the other Regulating Entity will decide whether the Claimant is entitled to relief with respect to the New Land Use Regulations that it enacted or that it administers as provided in ORS 195.300 to 195.336 and if so what form of relief to grant under ORS 195.310(5) with respect to those regulations.

(5) DLCD will issue the final order itself or jointly with one or more other Regulating Entities.
