Council adopts housing production strategy ordinance amending comprehensive plan
Summary
Council approved Ordinance Bill 6 (Ordinance 1329) to adopt a housing production strategy, including population and housing-type projections required by state targets; the ordinance passed unanimously.
The Sweet Home City Council approved by unanimous roll-call vote an ordinance adopting a housing production strategy that amends Chapter 4 of the city’s comprehensive plan.
City staff read Ordinance Bill 6 for 2024 (Ordinance No. 1329) by title as required for the third reading. The ordinance adopts the city’s Housing Production Strategy (HPS), a plan that incorporates state-required housing projections and targets for a 20-year planning horizon.
During discussion, a councilor summarized the HPS contents and projections: the presentation cited population growth since 2010, housing type breakdowns (single-family stick-built, manufactured housing, and multi-family units), and a 20-year projection used for planning capacity. The councilor also emphasized utility and treatment capacity figures discussed in the packet: the water treatment facility’s treatment capacity and the planned wastewater treatment plant capacity. Staff noted the full HPS documents will be posted on the city website after final adoption.
Why it matters: The HPS amends the comprehensive plan to reflect state planning requirements and provides a framework for housing types and infrastructure planning over the next 20 years. It informs future land use decisions, infrastructure investments and master planning.
The ordinance passed on a 7-0 roll call and will be posted to the city’s website per staff remarks.
