Planning Commission:

You will not receive another mailed notice unless you: submit a request in writing or by phone, or submit testimony or sign-in at the hearing.

City Council:

On Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, beginning at 7 pm, the City Council will hold a public hearing regarding the Frog Pond East and South Implementation - Development Code, after which it may make the final decision.

The hearings will take place at Wilsonville City Hall, 29799 SW Town Center Loop East.  A complete copy of the project record, including staff report, findings, and recommendations, will be available online and at City Hall for viewing seven (7) days prior to each public hearing.

Summary of Proposal:

Development Code amendments to implement the 2022 Frog Pond East and South Master Plan. Many of the proposed amendments are specific to regulating future development in the Frog Pond East and South expansion area on the east side of Wilsonville. However, some amendments apply to residential development citywide including:

• Updating the review authority, review process, and design standards for apartments and other multi-family housing, making them more consistent with the review authority, review process, and design standards for other types of housing
• Clarifying that the City’s general Site Design Review standards and process do not apply where residential design standards apply
• Consistent with State law, preventing future private covenants, like CC&Rs, from restricting housing types any more than City zoning
• Establishing stormwater design standards for residential development consistent with the City’s Public Works Standards
• Expanding the allowance of Accessory Dwelling Units to all townhouses, rather than just townhouses on larger lots and detached single-family homes
• Establishing specific requirements regarding maintenance of and access to narrow residential side yards
