Consistent with the City Council goal to, “Conserve the community’s quality of life by planning for growth and change”, and the Council initiative to, “Adopt codes that comply with HB 2001 that are consistent with the community’s sense of place, neighborhood character, and livability,” the City of Lake Oswego is proposing to amend Chapter 50 (Community Development Code) of the Lake Oswego Code for the purpose of compliance with Oregon House Bill 2001 (2019), state legislation requiring that cities allow “middle housing” – including duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, townhouses and cottage clusters – in any zone that permits detached single-family dwellings. The City notes that there was incorrect and inconsistent language in the ORS 227.186 (Measure 56) notice distributed for the proposed code amendments. The proposed code amendments will apply in “any zone that permits detached single-family dwellings”; the statement that the code amendments would apply to “any zone that permits attached single-family dwellings” was made in error.
