Commission approves a five-foot setback variance for Lowry multi-unit project

Hillsboro City Commission · April 29, 2026

Summary

Planning and zoning approved a request to reduce a rear setback by five feet for a proposed fourplex/duplex development; the commission approved the variance after confirming easements and utility impacts were acceptable.

Planning & Zoning recommended a five-foot reduction in the rear setback for a proposed fourplex/duplex development so front facades align with neighboring houses. Commissioners discussed underground easements and utility locations, and moved to approve the variance with a condition that staff confirm it won’t conflict with existing easements.

On a voice vote the variance carried after commissioners asked staff to verify setbacks relative to the utility easement and to confirm that electrical and sewer infrastructure would not be affected. The approval carries the condition that planning and zoning coordinate with public works on any required adjustments before building permits are issued.
