Metro and the three counties have passed ordinances to designate urban and rural reserves. View ordinances, supporting documents and maps

In May and June, 2010, Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties and Metro passed legislation to establish urban and rural reserves. The designation process requires that each of the four governments pass an ordinance to modify existing plans and maps. To establish urban reserves, the Metro Council made changes to the Regional Framework Plan, the Regional Growth Management Functional Plan and the 2040 Concept Plan Map. To establish rural reserves, the counties each modified their comprehensive plans and maps.

The ordinances, plan changes and maps will now be reviewed by the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission. Metro compiled materials from all four governments into a single package that was submitted to LCDC June 23. The Commission will review these materials over the summer and respond in October.
