Oregon’s land use planning program employs land use Goals and administrative rules to guide the efficient planning and development of urban areas. Generally speaking, the major land use needs are planned and allocated within the area, and then urban facilities such as sewer, water, and transportation systems, are designed to support the planned land uses. However, since Bend is a regional economic center and a tourist destination, its street system must support an exceptional number of vehicle trips. This pressure on the transportation system from both internal and external sources requires the city and county to be more thoughtful in tying together land uses and their transportation impacts.
