(1) When a local government engages in a pattern or practice of delaying or stopping the issuance of permits, authorizations or approvals necessary for the subdivision or partitioning of, or construction on, any land, including delaying or stopping issuance based on a shortage of public facilities, the local government shall:
(a) Adopt a public facilities strategy under ORS 197.768; or
(b) Adopt a moratorium on construction or land development under ORS 197.505 to 197.540.
(2) The provisions of subsection (1) of this section do not apply to the delay or stopping of the issuance of permits, authorizations or approvals because they are inconsistent with the local government’s comprehensive plan or land use regulations. [1999 c.838 §3]
