Depoe Bay agency schedules developer site visit as members debate housing and mixed‑use options
Summary
Agency members set a developer/consultant site visit for the 22nd and discussed housing forms (townhouses, cottages, apartments), local affordability targets and the possibility of mixed‑use development including clinic or pharmacy space.
Depoe Bay Urban Renewal Agency members agreed the developer will visit the property on the 22nd and provide a follow‑up memo identifying feasible housing options and specific questions for the agency. Staff member said, "The 22nd, from 10 to 2, they'll show up here," and members encouraged the developer to walk the site and return with proposals tailored to local needs.
Discussion centered on using roughly 2–2.5 acres for housing that serves local workers rather than extending commercial sprawl along Highway 101. Committee members mentioned townhouses, small cottage clusters and a possible 30‑unit apartment layout as options; one member described a middle‑income price band as "between 315,000, I think, and 390" for Lincoln County. Members emphasized mixed‑use designs (ground‑floor pharmacy or clinic with housing above) and asked staff to request a community survey and a public hearing so resident preferences can guide any redevelopment plan.
