Long Range Planning Manager Eric Olsen reviewed the work plan and identified eight priority projects for 2025: the Foothills District Plan update, tree regulation amendments, a Community Development Code audit and amendments, rezoning strategy connected to the HPS, consideration of a low‑income rental housing tax exemption, Fair Housing policy and education, home occupation standards updates, and the annual CDC amendment process. Olsen said staff had issued a request for proposals for the Foothills District Plan, expected proposals on April 10 and hoped to finalize a consultant contract by June 1. “We are expecting proposals to come in on, April 10 and hoping to finalize a contract with a consultant by June 1 for that work,” Olsen said.

Olsen said elements of the tree regulation work could fall inside the Commission’s formal review as Community Development Code amendments, while other pieces may lie outside the Commission’s purview and be implemented administratively. He described the code audit as an early‑stage project for which staff may pursue a Metro grant to support scope and work led by senior planner Evan Franstead.

Commissioners were told the home occupation standards project is moving toward a Planning Commission work session on April 14 and a public hearing on May 28; staff reported the survey of home‑occupation license holders yielded roughly 50 responses. Olsen also said the broader HPS implementation would be on the commission’s May 28 agenda, and that the city expects to receive formal comment from the State Department of Land Conservation and Development that could affect timing or content of some strategies. “So that is something that we'll have at least some official word from, the state on whether or not any of those strategies need to be reconsidered or if they have any comments that might modify them,” Olsen said.

Commissioner Naljak asked whether the proposed low‑income rental housing tax exemption differed from an earlier nonprofit exemption passed in recent years; Olsen responded that the proposed exemption would be focused specifically on low‑income rental housing and would require nonprofit status for that strategy, noting similarities but a distinct target. The Commission did not take a formal vote to adopt the work plan; Olsen said he heard general agreement and that no formal motion had been required. He asked commissioners to raise issues as they arise and to expect additional, project‑specific materials at future meetings.

Staff also noted a state legislative session update will be provided at the Planning Commission’s April 28 meeting with a land‑use focus, and that the Foothills update, rezoning and HPS implementation will return to the Commission multiple times through the year for hearings and deliberation.

The review closed with commissioners offering informal support and no requested changes that would require a formal amendment to the draft work plan.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission 03/24/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Lake Oswego Planning Commission on March 24, 2025 reviewed and signaled support for a proposed 2025 work plan that prioritizes the Foothills District Plan update, tree regulation amendments, a code audit, and multiple Housing Production Strategy implementation tasks.","taxTitle","Lake Oswego City, Clackamas County, Oregon","taxId",51840,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6625139,"Planning Commission approves findings for 2024–25 Community Development Code amendments",69,168000,237000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2762678-398c8ccf033b2f47a2dac18f6a3670e4&start=168&end=237","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2762678-398c8ccf033b2f47a2dac18f6a3670e4/thumbnail_168000.jpg","/articles/6625139/Lake-Oswego-City/Clackamas-County/Oregon/Planning-Commission-approves-findings-for-202425-Community-Development-Code-amendments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6625139-1db7e9971c03e65f2720b0ddbb482a90/orig.mp4?Expires=1771208373&Signature=CPr4Tf9mb8KX9a478zB9h82aVk6wifeZb6JT7M4ICn3bhT45GbiPTrldRggPWRCVuUYAEcPwNsHp7RFufnGpWaSDK-IG91rsqUvgaW3u0yukqCbUDzbT0zH7w-iCOXGqowtcqgYWXniidA0uIWwbG-1LnBaj60QtT4jBai~tiy-JJbtg5WBcmwwfBwPCaMK103W2na~tqFRdEgIEcuOZdAH4mykv5056hX~x-q0dA9XTKJl5ONHiD5vS8zoLst1R0B2Cq1~9OKjXekVSrOzzzhn73TFRc2CvCjrXRybVXHHWDHzkmvaz0p8ZmzyiQgNx4MKU4O6co8~o09SFGRC1Tg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake Oswego Planning Commission on March 24, 2025 approved findings, conclusions and an order for the Community Development Code 2024–25 annual amendments, LU 24-0029, directing staff to forward the documents to the City Council as drafted.

Chair Mitchell moved to approve the findings “as written,” and a commissioner seconded; chair Mitchell recorded the affirmative vote and commissioners present voted in favor. The commission’s action will send the finalized findings and order to the City Council for its consideration.

The packet that commissioners approved was distributed prior to the meeting for review. The approval closes the Planning Commission’s review stage for the annual CDC amendments and creates the record to accompany referral to the City Council. No amendments to the draft findings were offered during the meeting.

The action was recorded during the March 24 meeting under agenda item 6.1 and will appear on the City Council docket according to the commission’s standard transmittal practice.

The commission’s consent to the findings follows the annual code‑amendment process that accompanies the city’s Community Development Code maintenance and implementation work.

No public comment or substantive debate on the contents of the draft findings occurred during the approval; commissioners who participated affirmed the motion and the chair closed the item.","On March 24, 2025, the Lake Oswego Planning Commission voted to approve findings, conclusions and an order for the Community Development Code 2024–25 annual amendments (LU 24-0029) and will forward the package to the City Council as drafted.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6625130,"Planning staff transition: Boone to retire; alternate James Bruce to be proposed for commission seat",135,1033000,1168000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2762678-398c8ccf033b2f47a2dac18f6a3670e4&start=1033&end=1168","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2762678-398c8ccf033b2f47a2dac18f6a3670e4/thumbnail_1033000.jpg","/articles/6625130/Lake-Oswego-City/Clackamas-County/Oregon/Planning-staff-transition-Boone-to-retire-alternate-James-Bruce-to-be-proposed-for-commission-seat","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6625130-1331c6a6fa12ea319a58b093b0309284/orig.mp4?Expires=1771208373&Signature=npzM37CinW-Q9wQm1F70oMQRQeTc8Z~DfHegmutUlt99VNn-QjWfe-lPcSNs6Pn4puCXiOwu1mWVbuDNkXqOLIPlnWf2Q8f1LJzsm8zgW5~NvnNWO3qjDEQ8Sa59rKlA4qKhljzrObGaZvsH3iVkdgcnB3ZXj0hqJ~HcbPHDkE9UMXuCLgzzD2dFGtVbE46A3de-A1H6iTp2Buwmk8anTm2AO4uxAUAmxQX1fX58PZT3t4d6z4YbS~4Ve~0nv01kO8D2H343oCewmjgg3YmO7Y0YVZWZCIntOB2m4Zga3h7brs1JdUczo7WXz9kAXIarcogPwZ9YRczP4eQ4rSNu1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During other business at the March 24, 2025 Planning Commission meeting staff announced two personnel items: a planned retirement by a senior city staff member and a forthcoming appointment to a vacant Planning Commission seat.

A staff member identified in the meeting as Boone said he will retire effective the end of the month and that Ellen Osenock, the city attorney, will fill in during the interim. “I will be retiring and I'm retiring effective the end of this month. So it's been a joy to work with each of you,” Boone said.

Long Range Planning Manager Eric Olsen told commissioners the vacancy left by Commissioner Scannone would be filled by James Bruce, an alternate appointed last year. Olsen said staff will bring a resolution to the City Council agenda on April 1 recommending Bruce’s appointment, and that if the Council confirms the appointment Bruce’s anticipated first day as a commissioner would be April 14 to allow onboarding before commission business resumes.

Olsen described Bruce as an alternate who has been following commission issues and said staff expects him to be ready to step in if confirmed. No formal action by the Planning Commission was required to place the name on the City Council agenda; the Council will make the appointment.

Commissioners thanked Boone for his service during the meeting; no additional personnel actions were taken at the March 24 session.","At the March 24 meeting Lake Oswego staff announced that a long‑time staff member, Boone, will retire at month’s end and that the City Council will consider appointing alternate James Bruce to fill a Planning Commission vacancy on April 1, with an anticipated first day April 14.","actionData","errors"]
