Lehi City Council adopts housing production strategy with accessibility changes

The West Linn City Council made significant strides in addressing housing accessibility during their meeting on May 12, 2025. The council unanimously adopted Resolution 2025-02, which outlines a housing production strategy aimed at enhancing accessible housing options in the community.

The decision came after a thorough presentation by city staff, which was well-received by council members, indicating a strong consensus on the proposed strategy. The resolution includes two key modifications to improve accessibility, reflecting feedback from the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD). These changes specifically target strategies 2 and 9 of the housing production plan.

During the meeting, there was an opportunity for public testimony; however, no comments were made by community members. This lack of public input suggests that the council's previous discussions on the housing strategy have resonated positively with residents.

Following the motion to adopt the resolution, council members expressed their support, highlighting the importance of accessible housing in fostering an inclusive community. The swift approval of this resolution marks a proactive step towards addressing housing needs in West Linn.

As the city moves forward with implementing this strategy, the council remains committed to ensuring that all residents have access to suitable housing options. The next steps will involve working closely with planning staff to put the approved strategies into action, ultimately benefiting the community at large.
