UGB Expansion Pilot Projects
HB 4079 allows two “pilot project” cities, one large and one small, to expand their urban growth boundaries (UGB) by 50 acres each for residential use without showing that they need more land. In exchange, an unspecified portion of the 50 acres would be available for affordable housing – the definition of “affordable,” the percentage that would be “affordable,” and other terms are still to be determined. The bill failed to account for the increased cost of developing housing at the edge of UGBs, as well as the increased costs and emissions that stem from moving working families to the edges of their communities.
