The Lake Oswego City Planning Commission voted to approve draft findings finalizing its June 8 decision on legislative text amendments to Chapter 55 (the city tree code) and Chapter 50 (the Community Development Code), case LU26-0014.

Commissioner Mareno moved to approve the findings "as presented," and the motion was seconded and put to a voice vote. Director Neimanu reminded the commission that the findings memorialize the earlier tentative decision and explained that a commissioner who voted against the tentative decision could, if they chose, register a consistent negative vote on the formal findings.

Commissioners Mitchell and Guinea voted in favor. The clerk recorded the motion as approved by majority.
