Section 660-012-0190 - Transportation System Refinement Plans

(1) A city or county may, when adopting a major update to the transportation system plan as provided in OAR 660-012-0105, defer decisions regarding function, general location, and mode of a refinement plan if findings are adopted that:

(a) Identify the transportation need for which decisions regarding function, general location, or mode are being deferred;

(b) Demonstrate why information required to make final determinations regarding function, general location, or mode cannot reasonably be made available within the time allowed for preparation of the transportation system plan;

(c) Explain how deferral does not invalidate the assumptions upon which the transportation system plan is based or preclude implementation of the remainder of the transportation system plan;

(d) Describe the nature of the findings that will be needed to resolve issues deferred to a refinement plan; and

(e) Set a deadline for adoption of a refinement plan.

(2) Where a Corridor Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is prepared pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the development of the refinement plan shall be coordinated with the preparation of the Corridor EIS. The refinement plan shall be adopted prior to the issuance of the Final EIS.
