- (1) Any amendment to an acknowledged comprehensive plan or land use regulation under this rule must comply with all applicable Statewide Planning Goals. For purposes of this division, such applicable Goals include but are not limited to the following: Goal 5, Natural Resources, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Open Spaces (OAR 660-015-0000(5)); Goal 7, Natural Hazards (660-015-0000(7)); Goal 16, Estuarine Resources (660-015-0010(1)); and Goal 17, Coastal Shorelands (660-015-0010(2)). In Goal 16, the designation of estuarine management units is based in part on the uses of the adjacent shorelands. Consequently, any change to shoreland designations and allowed uses being proposed under this division must include consideration of affected estuarine management unit designations and allowed uses. This is particularly important in situations where the level of development designated in the adjacent estuarine management unit was acknowledged through a Goal 2 Exception; retaining that level of estuarine development would no longer be justified without taking a new Goal 2 Exception.
(2) Local governments that choose to rezone shoreland sites to nonwater-dependent uses as allowed under this division are encouraged to provide for water-related and water-oriented uses at such sites as much as possible.
