within the city's boundaries.

The basic standard
for citizen involvement in Oregon is derived from the
Statewide Planning Goal
1, Citizen Involvement. The Land Conservation and
Development Commission (LCDC) adopted Goal 1, Citizen
Involvement in 1974 and it took affect January 1975. Goal
1 calls for each city and county in Oregon to "develop
a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity
for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning
process."
Traditionally,
Oregon City has recognized the need to involve citizens
in the planning and decision
making process. In 1976, The Citizen Participation
Process was formalized through the Citizen Participation
Goal in the Land Use Policies for Oregon City (The Comprehensive
Plan.)
The Land Use
Policies determined that the formation of a neighborhood
program would provide
the best means for citizens to become involved in the
planning process. With this policy in mind, Oregon
City established (1) Neighborhood Associations and (2)
a Citizen Involvement Committee Council (CICC). This
program continues to be updated and revitalized.
