Title
Beavercreek Road Preferred Street Cross Section
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Confirmation that staff is approaching lane width and intersection control appropriately for the sections of Beavercreek Road that abut the Concept Plan boundary.
BACKGROUND:
The Beavercreek Road Concept Plan (BRCP) is a guide to the creation of a complete and sustainable neighborhood in southeast Oregon City. The adopted plan provides a framework for urbanization of 453 acres within the urban growth boundary including a diverse mix of uses (an employment campus north of Loder Road, mixed use districts along Beavercreek Road, and two mixed use neighborhoods), all woven together by open space, trails, a network of green streets, and sustainable development practices. The BRCP has been carefully crafted to create a multi-use community linking Clackamas Community College, Oregon City High School, and adjacent neighborhoods together.
While the BRCP was formally adopted in 2008 and readopted in 2016, it does not include all the tools necessary to implement the vision of the plan such as the assignment of Comprehensive Plan Map or zoning designations to properties or changes to uses or design standards in the Oregon City Municipal Code (OCMC) to implement the requirements of the plan.
The purpose of this project is to update the Comprehensive Plan and Oregon City Municipal Code (OCMC) to allow planned housing and mixed-use development to occur, including applying mapping and zoning designations for properties within the Concept Plan Area. No annexations are being proposed as part of this action. https://www.orcity.org/Beavercreekroadconceptplan.
