Content: As cities grow, the needs of its utility infrastructure grows along with it. Water pipes, sewers, and roads all need to keep up with the cities they sustain. Public facilities plans make this easier to manage over time. This is why Oregon law (ORS 197.712 (2) (e)) requires all cities with over 2,500 people maintain a Public Facilities Plan. The purpose of the plan is to ensure that urban development within a UGB is guided and supported by types and levels of urban facilities and services that are appropriate for the needs and requirements of the community. These public facilities and services are to be provided in a timely, orderly and efficient manner. DLCD, through the Technical Assistance Grant Program, provides funding to help cities build public facilities plans. See the Grant Information page for more information. If you would like to see an example of a public facility plan, see the City of Lake Oswego Public Facility Plan, available online. Recreational Planning
