Council grants five-year extension for industrial-park rezone at Highway 26 and 360th
Summary
Council authorized a five-year extension to a conditional rezoning and directed the city manager to restate the development agreement, allowing the property owner to continue facade and building upgrades at the industrial complex at Highway 26 and 360th Avenue.
SANDY, Ore. — The City Council voted Tuesday to grant a five-year extension to a conditional rezoning and to authorize the city manager to enter into a restated development agreement with the property owner at the industrial complex at Highway 26 and Southeast 360th Avenue.
Patrick (senior planner) summarized the property's history: a conditional rezoning originally approved in 2015 allowed the site to move toward an I-1 industrial-park zoning from I-2 industrial, contingent on design-review work and building upgrades. The property contains multiple multi-tenant industrial buildings, including the Maiden building and Whippersnapper tenant spaces. The development agreement tied deadlines to the design and construction schedule; past administrative extensions and a five-year extension granted in 2020 were nearing expiration July 29, 2025.
Owner Michael Maiden told council the project lost time and progress during the COVID-19 period and supply-chain disruptions, that the primary Maiden building renovation is now complete and that remaining elevations and siding work require additional time and funding. Maiden said the work is privately funded and progress depends on tenant revenue.
Council considered three options: grant the full requested five-year extension, grant a shorter extension with required progress reports, or deny the extension. After discussion staff recommended a flexible approach that preserves the development agreement's intent but allows staff to negotiate a restated agreement with updated timelines.
Council approved the full five-year extension and authorized the city manager to negotiate and execute a restated development agreement. Members asked staff to keep council informed of progress during the extension so the project does not lapse into a new series of extension requests.
