Middle Housing Code Advisory Committee Recommendations
The Middle Housing Code Advisory Committee (“MHCAC”) process will wrap-up with a presentation from Chair Randy Arthur and Co-Chair Lisa Strader at a joint meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission on Tuesday, November 16th. The meeting material is now available, click here.
The presentation will outline the Committee’s code concept recommendations, and will be accompanied by information from staff regarding recently-passed state legislation that requires cities to permit land divisions to facilitate middle housing ownership opportunities (Senate Bill 458), and a proposed timeline and work plan for the remainder of the project through code adoption. Please note that any recommendations that result from the MHCAC process will continue to be discussed and refined at public forums and meetings in coming months, and that this work is just one component of the City’s broader efforts to adopt codes that comply with HB 2001 that are consistent with the community’s sense of place, neighborhood character, and livability.
As the City proceeds with the second phase of this project, we will continue to provide updates and opportunities to stay engaged.
If you have any questions, Please contact Erik Olson, Senior Planner, at eolson@lakeoswego.city.
