Yachats planning commission advances housing ordinance; state review and public hearings ahead
Summary
The planning commission is reviewing a draft housing ordinance line-by-line and will submit it to the state DLCD for an approximately 35-day review; the planning commission and city council will hold required public hearings, including a 20-day mailed-notice requirement to property owners.
Nicole Hedlund summarized the planning commission's work on an update to the city's housing ordinance. She said the commission is going through the proposed ordinance "line by line" and fine-tuning it to reflect local needs and that once the commission completes a draft it will be sent to the state DLCD for review, a process she said takes about 35 days.
Hedlund described the public-review process that follows state review: the planning commission must hold at least one public hearing (the state requires at least one), and the city council will then hold a minimum of two public hearings. She said those council hearings require a 20-day mailed notice to property owners before the council votes to approve the ordinance or place it on the ballot. Hedlund noted the process includes opportunities for public input at multiple stages but did not give specific dates for hearings or a final vote.
