Land Use Hearings

The adopted Long-Range Planning Work Program for 2019-2021 includes a project titled “Minor and Time-Sensitive ZDO Amendments”, an effort intended to make relatively minor changes to the County land use regulations that are necessary to comply with new and pending state and federal mandates, clarify existing language, correct errors, and adopt optional provisions that require only minimal analysis.

The applicant is proposing (1) a Post-Acknowledgement Plan Amendment (PAPA) to the Clackamas County Comprehensive Plan (Plan) to designate approximately 99 acres of the proposed mining site, which includes eight taxlots and approximately 106.5 total acres, as a Goal 5 significant mineral and aggregate resource site in Chapter 3, Table III-2 of the Plan; (2) a zoning map amendment to apply a Mineral and Aggregate Overlay (MAO) to the site; (3) approval of a Mineral & Aggregate Overlay District Site Plan Review application for the proposed mining operations; and (4) a modification of conditions of approval in Planning file numbers Z0348-96-CP & Z0349-93-Z to allow processing on Saturdays.

Z0067-19-HL contains a proposal to remove the Historic Landmark (HL) overlay on the property located at 11315 S. Bremer Road. The structure on the subject site that was designated as having historic significance, the Califf Watertower (SHPO #1103) no longer exists on the property.

Planning files # Z0375-18-CP and Z0376-18-ZAP contain a proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Corridor Commercial (COR) with a corresponding Zone Change from Low Density Residential (R-5) to Corridor Commercial (CC) for a 10,000 square- foot parcel located at 8220 SE Cornwell Avenue. If approved, this amendment would enable Washman LLC to develop the subject property in conjunction with neighboring properties (already zoned CC) with a car wash facility.

ZDO-271 proposes legislative text amendments to the Clackamas County Zoning and Development Ordinance (ZDO) in order to limit the number of licensed premises for recreational marijuana production, and the number of registered grow sites for medical marijuana production, on property zoned Ag/Forest (AG/F), Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) or Timber (TBR). It also proposes certain non-substantive text amendments to clarify current marijuana-related land use regulations.

ZDO-275 proposes legislative text amendments to Section 703 of the Clackamas County Zoning and Development Ordinance (ZDO) to adopt new floodplain maps for the Sandy River Basin, produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and to amend the standards that apply to new development in the 1-percent annual chance floodplain (i.e., the 100-year floodplain) countywide.

ZDO-270 proposes three amendments to the Figures, Maps and Tables associated with the Clackamas County Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 5, Transportation System Plan. There are no text changes to the Comprehensive Plan or the Zoning Development Ordinance proposed. The changes to these Figures, Maps and Tables are necessary to maintain consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and current county practice, but none of the changes represent a substantive policy change.

The proposal is a legislative text amendment to the Clackamas County Zoning and Development Ordinance (ZDO) to implement Phase 5 of the Zoning and Development Ordinance Audit.

The proposal is for legislative text amendments to the Clackamas County Comprehensive Plan and to the Zoning and Development Ordinance (ZDO) in order to expand opportunities for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and to newly permit accessory historic dwellings in specific areas.
