Land Use Resources and Education (under construction Dec. 2020) |
|
The Neighborhood Leadership Alliance established a Land Use Working Group to lead an effort to create resources for citizens to better understand the Land use process here in Bend, and the State of Oregon. As of December, 2020, this group is very actively engaged in updated/creating resources that will be available on the City of Bend website, as well as resources that may be useful for NA's to include on their own web pages. We have taken a 3-legged stool approach to providing information broken out by Developers, NA Land Use Chairs, and Citizens, with links to resources.
These are the documents under current construction/review for Land Use Education (Dec-2020). Input is needed from Land Use Chairs and private citizens. |
