Oregon Climate-Friendly and Equitable Communities Program

Upcoming: May City Council Public Hearing

In May the City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of legislative amendments to the Official Zoning Map, Comprehensive Plan Text, and Land Development Code (LDC) Text related to the adoption of a Climate-Friendly Area (CFA) in accordance with Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) 660-012-0310 through -0325 (“CFA Rules”).

The proposed amendments will achieve the following outcomes:

• Create a new CFA Overlay Zone meeting the requirements of the CFA Rules, which will be applied to an area along NW 9th Street
• Establish an Administrative Zone Change process to allow owners of certain properties to request a zone change from RS-12 (Medium Density Residential) or RS-20 (High Density Residential) to Residential Mixed Use 12 or 20 (RMU-12 or RMU-20)
• Miscellaneous minor modifications and LDC clean-up

On April 2, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendments. A staff report for the City Council hearing will be linked in the table below at least 7 days prior to the hearing.
