Title
First Reading of Ordinance No.18-1009, Development Code Amendments Including Equitable Housing (Planning File LEG 18-00001)

Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 18-1009, amending the Oregon City Municipal Code, associated findings for the same, and continue file LEG-18-00001, including building heights in the MUD district, short-term rentals, shelters and any needed corrections and clarifications of the proposed code to September 4, 2019.

Development of a short term rental policy will require a separate, longer public process and is anticipated to be completed last. The City Commission will discuss these issues in Work Sessions prior to the next hearing date related to these items on September 4, 2019.
