Explanation
Oregon's Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI) is a mandatory analysis local governments must maintain under Statewide Planning Goal 10 to identify land within their UGB that is available for residential development. The BLI determines whether a city has sufficient land to meet projected housing needs. If supply is inadequate, cities must expand their UGB or increase density to accommodate growth.
