Article II. Urban Growth Boundary Amendment
18.215.070 Urban growth boundary amendment and conceptual master plan – Application.
An application to include land in the city’s urban growth boundary (UGB) is a legislative process that includes coordination with Jackson County and approval from Jackson County board of commissioners. Such a process is called an urban growth boundary amendment (UGBA). Because such an amendment can be a lengthy process, the time can be used to advantage by developing a conceptual master plan for the area in question.
The initiation of an urban growth boundary amendment by any one or more property owners in the urban reserve area will be the trigger for planning the entire urban reserve. The city will not master plan subsets of URAs.
