SHORT-TERM RENTALS
The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on Monday, April 22, to consider amendments
to the Community Development Code related to short-term rentals. The short-term rental of a dwelling
(rentals of less than 31 days) is currently prohibited in Lake Oswego’s residential areas. The City Council has
directed the Planning Commission to recommend development code changes that would allow Short-Term
Rentals (STRs) subject to standards addressing land use concerns (to control neighborhood impacts), business
licensing, transient lodging taxes, and enforcement. The notice and staff report are now available and written
testimony is being accepted. For more information, visit www.ci.oswego.or.us/planning/short-term-rentals.

GARLIC MUSTARD
Garlic mustard is a noxious weed that is spreading
rapidly throughout the Portland region. It invades the
forest understory and quickly becomes the dominant
species. In addition to its roots releasing toxins into
the soil, garlic mustard outcompetes native plants
for moisture, nutrients, and space, thereby inhibiting
growth of other plants, reducing plant diversity, and
decreasing forage for native wildlife.
HOW TO IDENTIFY GARLIC MUSTARD
Garlic mustard grows in moist, shaded soil, and is
commonly found on stream banks, in wooded areas,
and along roadsides. It is a biennial herb that forms a
basal rosette of kidney-shaped, scalloped leaves in the
first year, and an elongated flower stalk in the second
year. Its leaves are triangular and sharply toothed, and
smell like garlic when crushed. Garlic mustard flowers
in April and May. Plants have one flowering stem with
numerous white flowers. Seeds start forming in June,
and are ripe and ready to spread in July.
HOW TO CONTROL GARLIC MUSTARD
Springtime is the best time to manage garlic mustard.
Garlic mustard can be treated chemically, but the best
method for removal is to pull it in early spring and
summer before the white blossoms turn to seed pods.
The trick is to pull the plant, root and all, before the
seed pods are ready to pop. Dispose of pulled plants
in trash bags and put them in the garbage, not in yard
debris or compost bins. Proper disposal is important -
if a plant is pulled out while in flower and dropped on
the ground, it still has the ability to set seed. Flowers
from pulled plants CAN and WILL produce seed! Seeds
are viable for up to 5 years, so repeated monitoring and
removal year after year is needed to fully eradicate the
plant.
Do not pull from July through October - the risk of
spreading new seed is too high. The key to controlling
garlic mustard is to pull it before the seeds have a
chance to spread. You can safely pull the plants until
the seed pods begin to dry in July.
Visit https://conservationdistrict.org/2018/april-
invasive-weed-of-the-month-garlic-mustard-2.html, to
learn more about garlic mustard.
Garlic mustard flowers become seed pods, with each
plant producing up to 5000 seeds.
NEW CITY HALL MOVING FORWARD
One of the City Council goals for
2019 is to complete the City Hall
Project on time and on budget.
On March 5, the Lake Oswego
Redevelopment Agency Board
gave the go ahead to proceed
with preparation of construction
documents for the project.
The new City Hall will provide a
seismically safe, energy efficient and
better functioning building for the
community. It will include space
for the Police Department and our
9-1-1 dispatch center (LOCOM),
as well as public meeting places. It
will also provide storefront space
for the Lake Oswego Arts Council,
and for the Friends of the Library’s
“Booktique.” The total project cost
is currently estimated at $43.1
million, funded through the Lake
Oswego Redevelopment Agency
(urban renewal) and other existing
sources.
GATEWAY ART - CITY SEEKS PROPOSALS
The City of Lake Oswego, through the Arts Council of Lake Oswego, is seeking proposals for a
commissioned public art gateway at Highway 43 and Terwilliger Boulevard. This project will produce a
public art work to define the Northeastern Gateway or entrance into Lake Oswego. The deadline to submit
proposals is 5 p.m., Monday, June 3. For more information or to download the application, please visit
www.artscouncillo.org. For additional questions, please contact Public Art and Program Manager Stephanie
Johnson at sgjohnson@lakeoswego.city or 503-675-2531.
OLD RIVER ROAD CLOSURE
MID-APRIL – SUMMER 2019
Construction has started on the new Marylhurst
Sewage Pump Station, located at the north end of
Old River Road near Glenmorrie Drive, alongside
the Willamette River pathway.
Starting in mid-April through summer, Old River
Road will be closed to all vehicular traffic 24/7
through the work zone, and a detour will be in
place. Between the work zone and River Woods
Place, Old River Road will be open for local traffic
only (residents who live within the closed section),
but ingress and egress will be from the West
Linn side. Access through the work zone will be
maintained for emergency responders.
For pedestrian and bicycle traffic, the mixed-use
pathway will be shifted around the construction
site. There will be a short period (up to two weeks)
when the pathway between George Rogers Park and
the pump station site will be temporarily closed to
all pedestrians and bicyclists. Notification of this
temporary pathway closure, and associated dates,
will be posted at the work zone, at the Oswego
Creek footbridge (at George Rogers Park), on the
project website and on the City’s social media
accounts.
For more information, visit www.lakeoswego.city/
publicworks/marylhurst-pump-station.

TRYON CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT
The City is exploring the option of
redeveloping its existing wastewater
treatment plant. The Tryon Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant
(TCWTP), currently owned by the
City of Portland, is located in the
Foothills District at the joining of
Tryon Creek and the Willamette River.
TCWTP was constructed in 1964 and
requires significant updates. The City is
looking to partner with a private partner to minimize
the City’s risks and costs while continuing to
provide for Portland’s and Lake Oswego’s wastewater
treatment needs and reducing the facility’s overall
footprint, improving the quality of discharged water,
and supporting the overall redevelopment of Foothills
District. In addition, the City is exploring taking over
ownership of TCWTP from the City of Portland.
With these goals in mind, the City has issued a
Request for Qualifications for potential private
partners who would be willing to finance,
design, build, operate and maintain a wastewater
treatment plant that would be more compatible
with redevelopment of the Foothills area. In the
near future, City Council will make a decision on
whether to pursue the private public partnership for
the redevelopment. The decision will be contingent
upon Lake Oswego’s rates not going up more than
they would have with the upgrades that must be
made to the existing TCWTP under the City of
Portland’s ownership.
To stay up to date on the Tryon Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant Project, check out the City’s
website at www.lakeoswego.city/publicworks.
