HB 3154 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to defining buildable lands.

HB 3154 amends Oregon law to clarify which lands count as "buildable" for housing capacity calculations. It specifically removes floodways, wetlands, special flood hazard areas, and lands with development prohibitions from the definition of buildable lands under ORS 197A.270 and 197A.350. This change affects local governments and Metro, requiring them to exclude these lands when inventorying buildable lands for housing needs. The bill ensures housing capacity assessments only consider lands suitable for development, without altering housing production requirements.
