Title
L 17-04: Proposed Amendments to the Development Sections of the Oregon City Municipal Code (Including Lot Averaging)
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission choose an option for Lot Averaging Amendments and recommend approval to the City Commission.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has proposed a variety of minor amendments to the Oregon City Municipal Code. Although a majority of the amendments provide clarity, improve processes, or remove code conflicts, the more substantial changes include:
1. Amending language for lot averaging
2. Removing the ability to reconsider a final decision
3. Clarify how dates are calculated
4. Remove light bulb requirements
5. Allow 10% parking reduction adjacent to transit routes
Staff has added a variety of options for the lot averaging amendments for the Planning Commission to consider.
Notice of all code amendments was mailed to every property owner in the City limits and within the Urban Growth Boundary in late December. The Development Stakeholders Group reviewed the amendments on January 4, 2018 and the City Commission heard the amendments for the first time at their work session on January 9, 2018. The Planning Commission held their first work session on the amendments on January 22, 2018 and second work session on February 12, 2018.
