Lake Oswego council enacts two annexations into city limits
Summary
The council voted unanimously to annex two properties — 210 Birds Hill Road and 13092 Amber Place — into Lake Oswego with city zoning of R‑10; both ordinances passed 7–0.
The Lake Oswego City Council enacted two annexation ordinances on Oct. 7, approving annexation of 210 Birds Hill Road (including public right‑of‑way) and 13092 Amber Place (including right‑of‑way) into the city.
Staff reported both properties were previously under Clackamas County jurisdiction with county zoning that will convert to the city’s R‑10 zoning designation upon annexation. Staff said sanitary sewer service is available: 210 Birds Hill Road can access an existing 8‑inch public sewer line owned by the City of Portland via an intergovernmental agreement because the parcel has a failing septic system; 13092 Amber Place fronts an 8‑inch sewer line in Amber Place that would need to be extended to serve new development and neighboring uphill parcels.
Water is available to both properties through existing providers: Palatine Hills Water District for 210 Birds Hill Road and a 6‑inch city main for Amber Place frontage. Staff concluded the properties fall inside the urban services boundary and recommended approval.
Council opened and closed public hearings on each annexation with no public testimony and adopted ordinance 2969 for 210 Birds Hill Road and ordinance 2970 for 13092 Amber Place. Both motions passed 7–0.
Why it matters: annexation places properties under city zoning, service standards and permitting processes and can affect the timing of infrastructure improvements, sewer connections and local development standards. For 210 Birds Hill Road the property owner plans to connect to public sewer because of a failing septic system.
