Abstract

This Article will explore the unique legal and historical role of the Oregon coast in that state’s understanding of itself, especially in terms of public demand for beach access and environmental protection, culminating in the adoption of binding state policies (“goals”) implemented locally. These policies required data gathering, established state coastal values, and required planning and land use regulation by local governments to realize those values in a planning process. This Article then evaluates that process in terms of its public acceptance and effectiveness in order to assist decision makers crafting these types of policies elsewhere.
