Removes a way in which EFSC may find that a proposed facility complies with statewide planning goals.
Removes provisions that allow the Energy Facility Siting Council to find that an energy facility is in compliance with statewide planning goals even when the council determines that the facility does not comply with applicable substantive criteria from the affected local government’s land use plan and regulations that the facility must be evaluated against if the council determines that the facility otherwise complies with applicable statewide planning goals.
This bill will allow more local control by removing [required by the statewide planning goals] to recommended by the special advisory group established under ORS 469.480 which will take into consideration all local ordinances and County laws.
This bill is needed to direct court decisions for local control and not bind rural counties into a law that has adverse affect on local people.
