Marion County Capacity Analysis and Growth Management Alternatives

Marion County, Oregon

Fregonese Associates was the lead consultant for creation and implementation of a Growth Management strategy for Marion County and the 20 incorporated cities within its boundary. Oregon State law requires that cities and counties monitor and update their comprehensive land-use plans and analyze the capacity within their urban growth boundaries to ensure a land supply sufficient to accommodate a forecasted 20 years of growth. Beyond compliance with state mandates, this project created an public process to determine locally desired future development scenarios. The approved future scenarios will be implemented through adoption into land-use plans at the city and county levels.
