Fifty years of deliberate, public UGB expansion — and the rural unincorporated communities the proposed LCDC rulemaking would open to urban-style development outside any boundary, bypassing Goal 14.
Future exposure layer depicts communities eligible under the proposed LCDC Housing in Unincorporated Communities rulemaking as drafted; it does not depict adopted zoning changes.
Categories overlap by design and are documented rather than de-duplicated: era bands overlap current UGB footprints, and community or resource zoning acres are reported county-wide against their own sources. The farm+forest figure counts only land OUTSIDE current UGBs (Jackson County zoning; DLCD statewide zoning 2023 for Josephine). Areas computed in EPSG:2992.
