Title
Ordinance No.13-1017 for Introduction: Adoption of the South End Concept Plan, Implementing Zoning Code
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the first reading of revised Ordinance No. 13-1017.
BACKGROUND:
The City Commission continued the first reading of Ordinance No. 13-17 from March 19, 2014, to include language in the ordinance to assure that the most recent slope susceptibility mapping from DOGAMI will be made part of the city code before any annexation within the concept plan area is approved. Staff has included a clause for the City Commission's action to accomplish this.
The City of Oregon City is a partner with DOGAMI in mapping landslide and geologic hazard areas. The publication entitled "Landslide Hazard and Risk Study of Northwestern Clackamas County, Oregon” includes a set of map panels, GIS maps and data, and other documents which describe the methodology used by DOGAMI to make the assessments.
As part of its next code update program, the Oregon City planning staff shall evaluate and potentially recommend amendments to the Oregon City Municipal Code (OCMC) regarding the regulation of development on steep slopes or landslide areas, OCMC 17.44, taking into account the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries “Landslide Hazard and Risk Study of Northwestern Clackamas County, Oregon,” including the most current landslide and slope susceptibility mapping and the Oregon City City Commission shall consider these same studies and maps along with the status of any code amendments prior to taking action on any request to annex lands within the South End Concept Plan area.
Ordinance 13-1017 includes code amendments to supplement existing city code in order to implement the South End Concept Plan. Many zoning, subdivision and other regulatory code provisions necessary to implement the concept plan already exist within the existing code.
