The applicant proposes to construct a municipal water storage reservoir. The reservoir will be a green, bolted steel tank, with an aluminum dome top. They are seeking review of two possible sizes: A 500,000-gallon reservoir would be approximately 61-feet in diameter and 28 feet tall; alternatively, a 1,000,000-gallon reservoir would be approximately 81-feet in diameter and 30 feet tall. Whichever size reservoir is selected, the tank will be located in the northwest corner of the property abutting along SE Lucky Ln.

Land Use Hearing: ZDO-288 Utility Facilities - June 12, 2024

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.
