district and the city or county shall agree, to the greatest
extent possible, on the criteria for the capacity of school
facilities. After a school district formally adopts criteria for

regulation amendment.
  ' (b) A city or county shall provide notice to an affected
school district when considering a plan or land use regulation
amendment that significantly impacts school capacity. If the
school district requests, the city or county shall implement a

197.505 to 197.540.
  '  { - (9) - }  { +  (10) + } This section and ORS 197.015 do
not confer any power to a school district to declare a building
moratorium.
  '  { - (10) - }  { +  (11) + } Notwithstanding any other
provision of state or local law, school capacity shall not be the
