In 2021, the Oregon Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 3318. This bill applies to the Stevens Road Tract, a tract of land owned and managed by the Oregon Department of State Lands. The Stevens Road Tract was located outside of the Bend UGB due east and abutting the DSL Expansion Area. Through this bill, the Legislature outlined a process, including three specific steps, for the City to use to include only this land within the Bend urban growth boundary. The first step was development of a Concept Plan that was approved by the City Council in June 2022, and subsequently by the Department of Land Conservation and Development in September 2022. The second was to include the Stevens Road Tract in the Bend UGB and amend the Buildable Land Inventory to include the buildable land within the Stevens Road Tract in the City’s inventory. The third and final step was to develop planning amendments that would amend the Comprehensive Plan to include policies that would guide master planning of the Stevens Road Tract in a manner similar to that used for the other expansion areas.
