(2) If a local government redesignates land for higher density under subsections (1)(b) or (c) of this rule in order to meet identified housing needs, the local government shall ensure that the redesignated land is in locations appropriate for the housing types, and is zoned at density ranges that are likely to be achieved by the housing market. (3) Where applicable, the requirements of ORS 197.296 shall supersede the requirements of sections (1) and (2) of this rule.
