Oregon´s seven-member Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC), assisted by DLCD, adopts state land-use goals and implements rules, assures local plan compliance with the goals, coordinates state and local planning, and manages the coastal zone program.

 

The Commissioners are unpaid citizen volunteers appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. Commissioners are appointed to four-year terms and may not serve for more than two full terms.

 

The statute establishing the Commission, ORS 197.030, also directs that the members be representative of certain regions of the state, and that there be a current or former elected official of a city and a county.

 

The Commission meets about every six weeks to direct the work DLCD.

ORS 197.160  established the state´s Citizen Involvement Advisory Committee (CIAC) to advise the Land Conservation and Development Commission and local governments on matters pertaining to citizen involvement.

 

Every city and county plan in Oregon includes a citizen involvement program which describes how the public can participate in each phase of the planning process. Local governments periodically evaluate their efforts to involve citizens, and, if necessary, update their programs.
