Beavercreek Road Concept Plan Project- Zoning and Code Amendments
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
No action is need at this time. This is just a presentation.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this project is to update the Comprehensive Plan Map, Oregon City Zoning Map and Oregon City Municipal Code (OCMC) to allow planned housing and mixed-use development to occur within the Beavercreek Road Concept Plan area.
