The State LCDC also passed OAR 660-041-0030 which is a requirement to ALL cities, counties, and Metro requiring them to provide written notice to DLCD of all applications for a Measure 37 Permits, and all final written decisions on a Measure 37 Permit, filed with or made by a city, county or Metro after February 20, 2007.
Based upon the actions of the LCDC and State of Oregon since Measure 37 was passed into law, you can bet the FARM or RANCH (Oh, you already have) this is the date the LCDC will use for "Common Law Vested Interest"
WHY WE DON'T KNOW YET AND THEY ONLY GIVE A LITTLE AT A TIME TO COOK YOU IN THE POT. But why else are they requiring these notifications from counties, cities and Metro. They already know the criteria they will use for "Vesting", but they don't want it to get out too fast or everyone will know they probably will not vest. PERIOD!!!
The State of Oregon does not inform us of what the criteria for a "Common Law Vested Right" is. They don't give us dates, calculations for the process to meet vesting, nor an administration procedure to get answers for proving "Common Law Vested Right". They do know that it will now be the Waiver Holder that will have the "Burden of Proof" to move forward with each of their Measure 37 property developments.
