  SECTION 1.  { + Section 2 of this 2003 Act is added to and made

population of 25,000 or more and that are not located in a
metropolitan service district; and
  (b) Within a metropolitan service district created under ORS
chapter 268.
  (2) As part of its next periodic review or other legislative
review of its urban growth boundary, a local government shall
adopt a regionally coordinated 20-year forecast of the land and
public facility needs of the high technology business sector. The
20-year forecast shall be based on an analysis of national, state
and local trends in high technology manufacturing and related
professional services, and local economic development objectives.
  (3) A local government shall determine suitable lands necessary
to accommodate needs identified in the 20-year forecast adopted
under subsection (2) of this section. In determining the amount
of land needed, the local government shall consider:
  (a) Existing concentrations of high technology manufacturing
and related professional services;
  (b) Trends in building densities, including floor area ratios,
for high technology manufacturing and related professional
services;
  (c) Measures that demonstrably increase the likelihood that
additional development of high technology manufacturing and
related professional services will:
  (A) Use land and infrastructure investments efficiently;

additional high technology business development.
  (5) If a local government determines that its urban growth
boundary does not contain sufficient suitable land to accommodate
the land needs determined under subsection (3) of this section,
the local government shall amend its comprehensive plan,
functional plan or land use regulations to demonstrably increase
the likelihood that forecasted high technology development can be
accommodated within the urban growth boundary.
  (6) If action taken under subsection (5) of this section is
insufficient to accommodate forecasted high technology
development land needs, a local government shall amend its urban
growth boundary to include additional land sufficient to
accommodate forecasted land needs.
  (7) A local government shall adopt performance measures:
  (a) To determine whether it is meeting its local high
technology development objectives; and
  (b) To monitor actual use of land designated under subsection
(4)(b) of this section.

urban growth boundary subsequent to the periodic review or other
legislative review of the urban growth boundary described in

  (a) Report to the Department of Land Conservation and
Development and the Economic and Community Development Department
on the performance measures adopted under subsection (7) of this
section;
  (b) Develop and adopt an updated 20-year forecast and land need
determination for high technology development as described in
subsections (2) and (3) of this section;
  (c) Modify policies, designations and development standards and
take other corrective action as provided under subsections (4)(a)
and (5) of this section; and
  (d) Amend or repeal performance measures adopted under
subsection (7) of this section or adopt new performance measures.

land use regulations comply with the land use planning goals and
are consistent with ORS 197.707 and 197.712. + }

Commission shall adopt rules to implement section 2 of this 2003
Act not later than January 1, 2004. + }

effective date of this 2003 Act shall first exercise the duties
and functions under section 2 of this 2003 Act beginning on
