Ordinance ZDO-288, Utility Facilities, is a package of text amendments to the Clackamas County Comprehensive Plan (Plan) and Zoning and Development Ordinance (ZDO). It is intended to more comprehensively define “utility facility” and related terms and to allow a broader range of utility facilities to qualify as primary or accessory uses rather than conditional uses. The significance of this is that utility facilities that are primary or accessory uses would not require a land use application in most cases; the exception would be where the facility is subject to certain environmental or hazard regulations, such as floodplain or stream buffer requirements.

Conditional Use Permit for the establishment of a dog kennel that will accommodate up to sixteen (16) dogs. Nonconforming Use application is to utilize an existing structure that has been on the property since approximately 1930; eight dog kennels will be located in the existing structure and other eight kennels will be in a proposed (new) 650 square foot building.

Minor and Time-Sensitive Comprehensive Plan and ZDO Amendments is a Planning project that is intended to be completed annually and focuses on changes to the County’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning and Development Ordinance (ZDO) to comply with any new state and federal mandates, clarify existing language, correct errors, or adopt optional provisions that require only minimal analysis. This year, however, this amendment package is also proposed as a vehicle for the adoption of new land use allowances in state law.

The 2023-2024 Minor and Time Sensitive Amendments and New Housing Options package, Ordinance ZDO-285, is a narrowly-focused package of amendments that primarily responds to certain land use legislation approved in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 Oregon legislative sessions and recent state rulemaking.

This is an appeal of a decision to approve the following proposal: The applicant is requesting to modify a previously approved land use decision. A Conditional Use permit was approved in August of 2021 (land use file Z0165-21) which authorized adding 26 new manufactured home spaces to the existing Hoodcourse Acres manufactured home park.
