The DLCD expects the first public hearing on the draft rules will be held during LCDC’s September 24-25 meeting. Background materials are available online at www.oregon.gov/lcd/LAR/Pages/Goal5.aspx.

Background
While statewide land use planning Goal 5 includes reference to the inventory and associated strategies to protect cultural resources, it does not define or operationalize protections for these areas. In 1996, the LCDC adopted rules for inventorying and protecting other resources in OAR Chapter 660 Division 23. Developing similar guidelines for cultural areas was postponed at this time until statewide government-to-government relationships were better established.
