Title
Development Code Amendments including Equitable Housing, LEG-18-00001 (No Verbal Public Comment)
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
No action by the City Commission is needed at this time.
BACKGROUND:
Planning Division staff and consultants have been working with the community to provide updates to the development standards within the Oregon City Municipal Code. The standards include a variety of topics such as options for additional housing opportunities as well as other changes which were not reviewed by the equitable housing advisory committees. As whole, the amendments result in greater opportunities for housing, reduce many regulations, streamline processes, provide clarity around existing standards, address some concerns, and are formatted so they are easier to follow. This proposal does not include any changes to the adopted zoning map or any city-initiated construction or development.
The amendments will continue to be reviewed at a series of public hearings before the Planning Commission prior to a second round of review by the City Commission. Any interested party may testify at the hearings (limited to 3 minutes) or submit written comments (no limitations to length or frequency) at or prior to the public hearings while the record is open. The list of public meetings that have helped shaped the project is provided below. The dates below in bold are remaining opportunities to review the project and are subject to change.
