A city is required to adopt a housing capacity analysis and
housing production strategy under OAR 660-008-0045. The department is required
to annually refer to the housing acceleration program each city that has failed
to adopt a housing production strategy under ORS 197A.130(3)(b). To minimize
and remedy delinquency in completing these requirements by the prescribed
deadlines, the department must refer a city for non-compliance in the adoption
of a housing capacity analysis or housing production strategy via the following
provisions:
(1) A city that determines
it will be unable to adopt a housing capacity analysis, housing production
strategy report, or midpoint report by the prescribed deadline may request that
the department provide a time extension for good cause. The city must notify
the department of the expected delinquency at least 60 days before the
applicable deadline for a housing capacity analysis or housing production
strategy. In response, the department may take any of the following actions:
(a) For a housing capacity analysis, provide
written authorization for the city to adopt concurrently with a housing
production strategy by the deadline provided in ORS 197A.100(1);
(b) Recommend an amended deadline to the
commission for a housing capacity analysis or housing production strategy under
OAR
660-008-0045;
(c) Review
components of a housing capacity analysis, response to an identified
deficiency, or housing production strategy under OAR
660-025-0185; or
(d) Within 90 days, enter into a voluntary
agreement to remedy the delinquency outlining specific actions, timelines, and
resources necessary to adopt a housing capacity analysis or housing production
strategy.
(2) The
department must refer a city that has not adopted a housing capacity analysis
or housing production strategy by the prescribed deadline, received a time
extension for good cause under section (1), or fulfilled the actions and
deadlines of a work plan or agreement under section (1) to the housing
acceleration program.
(3) For
cities referred to the housing acceleration program under subsection (2), the
department must conduct an audit under OAR
660-008-0325 and enter into a
housing acceleration agreement under OAR
660-008-0330 focused only on the local
barriers to the adoption of a housing production strategy and all supporting
documents.
