Oregon Coast Land Use Planning Program

The Oregon Coast Land Use Planning Program is a framework designed to manage and protect the coastal areas of Oregon. It guides decisions about development, conservation, and resource use along the coast, balancing environmental protection with community needs. Established in the 1970s, the program aims to preserve the unique natural beauty of the coastline, while also ensuring sustainable economic growth. It involves local communities in planning processes, helps regulate land use, and supports habitats, recreation, and public access, fostering a healthy coastal environment for both people and wildlife.
