Advisory Committees

The Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC), with support from the department, consults with and receives feedback and recommendations from a number of different advisory committees. Some advisory committees are statutorily required, and some are engaged by the department to provide feedback on specific issues or rulemaking efforts.

  • All advisory committee meetings are open to the public.
  • All advisory committee meetings are noticed in the News & Announcements section of our homepage.

In ORS 183.333, the legislative assembly requires state agencies to include the public in the development of public policy and drafting rules whenever possible. This is accomplished through the use of a rulemaking advisory committee. The committee appointed must represent the interests of persons likely to be affected by the rule. DLCD uses a list of interested parties to invite RAC participation and comments on rulemaking activities.

To see a list of RACs engaged in rulemaking visit our Current Rulemaking page.​

​Goal 1 of the statewide land use planning program is to increase the public's understanding of and involvement in land use planning. Required in ORS 197.030, the commission's Community Involvement Advisory Committee (CIAC) makes recommendations to the commission and local governments to help improve public involvement in land use matters across the state. 

Visit the CIAC page to learn more about the committee.

LOAC provides advice to the department and LCDC from a local government perspective in regard to statewide land use policy issues and agency priorities, as required in ORS 197.165.
