                        A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to economic development in coastal communities with
  estuarine resources; and declaring an emergency.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1.  { + The Legislative Assembly finds and declares
that:
  (1) Estuaries and associated wetlands are unique environments
worthy of protection.
  (2) Coastal communities, in order to remain healthy, vibrant
and growing communities, must have a broad range of economic
development, including development of economic activity that is
not water-dependent or water-related.
  (3) Statewide land use goals related to the protection of
estuarine resources and to the conservation, protection and
development of coastal shorelands:
  (a) Are imbalanced in favor of the conservation and protection
of estuarine resources over the development of economic activity,
including activities that are not water-dependent or
water-related, sufficient to sustain healthy, vibrant and growing
coastal communities.
  (b) Provide for maintenance and enhancement of historic or
unique nonwater-dependent uses, but do not adequately provide for
the development of nonwater-dependent uses appropriate for the
current and future needs of coastal communities. + }
  SECTION 2.  { + (1) As used in this section:
  (a) 'Local government' has the meaning given that term in ORS
197.015.
  (b) 'Port' means a port formed under ORS chapter 777.
  (2) In the biennium beginning July 1, 2011, the Land
Conservation and Development Commission, in the manner described
in ORS 197.245, shall review statewide land use goals and
guidelines related to the protection of estuarine resources and
to the conservation, protection and development of coastal
shorelands and amend the goals and guidelines to improve the
ability of local governments and ports that have jurisdiction
over coastal communities to develop economic activity that is not
water-dependent or water-related.
  (3) In preparing goals and guidelines for review and adoption
by the commission under this section, the Department of Land
Conservation and Development shall actively solicit input from
local governments and ports that have jurisdiction over coastal
communities. + }
  SECTION 3.  { + This 2011 Act being necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency
is declared to exist, and this 2011 Act takes effect July 1,
2011. + }
