From: City of Lake Oswego Community Development Department
We’re excited to share initial drafts of two components of the City of Lake Oswego’s Housing Needs Analysis (HNA), as a part of the City’s work to comply with state House Bill 2003:
- A Draft Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI), which identifies land that can be expected to provide residential capacity for the City of Lake Oswego in the next 20 years; and
- A Draft Housing Capacity Analysis (HCA), which outlines a forecast of housing need within the City of Lake Oswego during the same 20-year timeframe.
These drafts are a work in process – they will be refined with input from the Housing Production Strategy Task Force, Planning Commission, City Council, and other project stakeholders based on discussions at the following events:
HPS Task Force Meeting #2 – Friday, 3/24 at 1 PM
Housing Needs Analysis Community Forum – Thursday, 4/6 at 5:00 PM [Click here]
Planning Commission Work Session – Monday, 4/10 @ 6:30 PM
City Council Study Session – Tuesday, 4/18 @ 3:00 PM
After receiving feedback on the BLI and the HCA, the next step will be for the project team to conduct an analysis that compares the amount and type of land available for future residential uses with the amount and types of housing units needed by the City of Lake Oswego. The findings of this comparison will then form the basis of further work about the policies, programs, and actions that the City can consider to address its current and future housing needs.
