RPS - Regional Plan

On November 23, 2011 the Jackson County Board of Commissioners adopted the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan ("Regional Plan") as an amendment to its comprehensive plan which establishes Urban Reserve Areas (URA) for Central Point, Eagle Point, Medford, Phoenix, and Talent.  This amendment establishes URAs to accommodate planned residential, commercial and industrial growth to accommodate a doubling of the current population.  In reaching this decision, Jackson County updated its population forecast in the acknowledged comprehensive plan, analyzed buildable land in the Bear Creek Valley, and revised comprehensive plan policies about future urban development.  

File No. LRP2009-00010. Following the County's adoption of the Regional Plan, the participating cities of Central Point, Eagle Point, Medford, Phoenix, and Talent similarly amended their comprehensive plans and adopted other provisions allowing for the establishment of URAs. The full record of the County and city proceedings is available for review through clicking on the PDFs listed below.

The Land Conservation and Development Commission is tentatively schedule to consider the plan amendments listed below at their meeting of November 14-16, 2012 in Newberg.
