Commissioner reports possible 2027 rezoning effort; board hears review of housing models
Summary
A committee member said the Association of Oregon Counties expects a rezoning push in 2027 and urged local engagement; another member reported site visits and a review of housing models in Roseburg and plans to visit North Bend and Coos for additional insight.
A Committee member reported an update from the Association of Oregon Counties that a rezoning legislative effort is likely to be presented in the 2027 session and encouraged local stakeholders to connect with AOC lobbyists.
"They're pretty sure that, there will be a 2027 rezoning legislation effort to be presented," the Committee member said, noting Mallory Roberts at AOC and that local contacts such as Aaron Porter had expressed interest in participating in the effort. The speaker said AOC’s executive director, Gina Nichols, would keep the board informed of developments.
Separately, another Committee member described visiting housing programs in Roseburg to study different models—from short‑term crisis facilities to lease‑based permanent housing—and reported significant initial investment with apparent underuse at some sites. The speaker said they planned site visits to North Bend and Coos to better understand facility management and occupancy before drawing firm conclusions.
No formal votes or commitments were made during the workshop on either the rezoning effort or housing follow‑ups; board members said they would circulate updates and stay engaged with partners as developments occur.
