BACKGROUND
On December 7, 2021 the Lake Oswego Redevelopment Agency (LORA) entered into a
Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with Urban Development Partners (UDP) for
the redevelopment of the North Anchor properties located at First Street and B Avenue. UDP's
redevelopment proposal includes two components; an 83-room boutique hotel with a
restaurant and a mixed-use 67-unit apartment with approximately 6,000 square feet of ground
floor retail. Both components include on and off-street parking.
DISCUSSION
Hotel: This request does not change the hotel component's closing date of December 31, 2023
or the beginning of construction date of January 7, 2024.
Mixed-Use (Residential, with Ground Floor Commercial): The DDA requires that UDP close by
December 31, 2022 and begin construction by January 7, 2023. On October 21, LORA received
a request from UDP for a six-month extension on the deadline to close and begin construction
on the mixed-use component (Attachment 1). The extension would change the closing date to
June 30, 2023 and the construction date to July 7, 2023.
Specifically, the sections affected of the DDA include:
DDA Original Proposed
Section Deadline Deadline
Task Date Date
2.2 UDP to provide written notice of election to execute phased 12/11/22 6/11/23

2.8.3.6 UDP provides evidence of necessary funding commitments to 12/1/22 6/1/23
complete the project, including budgets and pro-formas
2.7 UDP to close on acquisition of the property for the first project 12/31/22 6/30/23
component
2.7 UDP to commence construction on first project component 1/7/23 7/7/23
3.1.1.1 UDP to complete all work set forth in DEQ-approved Hazard 3/31/23 9/30/23
Mitigation Plan and Contaminated Media Management Plan
3.1.1.1 UDP to obtain "No Further Action" letter from DEQ 4/20/23 10/20/23
7.2 UPD to complete construction of the first project component, 6/30/24 12/30/24
including associated public improvements
UDP is seeking the extension due to unprecedented economic challenges, including escalation
of construction costs and rising interest rates. Despite these challenges, over the last year, UDP
has been able to overcome these issues and continue moving forward with the project. To
date, their efforts represent a $3.25m investment for a project that is nearly "shovel ready".

While the request is for a six-month extension, UDP's highest priority is on closing and
beginning construction before the deadlines.

Martha Bennett
Executive Director
City of Lake Oswego Redevelopment Agency
PO Box 369
Lake Oswego, OR 97034
RE: North Anchor Disposition and Development Agreement
Request for Extension
Dear Martha,
I am writing to respectfully request that the Lake Oswego Redevelopment Agency
("LORA") grant Urban Development Partners ("UDP") a six-month extension on its
requirement to purchase the land and commence construction on the residential
component of the project.
Original Closing Date: December 31, 2022
Revised Closing Date: June 30, 2022
Original Construction Start: January 7, 2023
Revised Construction Start: July 7, 2023
This request does not change the dates for the closing or construction start date for the
hotel component of the project.
UDP has made a lot of excellent progress towards the deadlines set forth in the DDA. The
residential project is on track to have a building permit before the end of the year. The
hotel project will submit drawings for permit by mid-November, with an anticipated
permit issuance before the end of the first quarter of 2023. UDP has invested
approximately $3.25M in the two projects to date to bring them to this point.
As you are aware, we have been in a challenging economic environment for real estate
development. Over the past year, we have dealt with an unpredictable and rapidly
escalating cost environment that has rendered many projects infeasible or caused
significant delays. The North Anchor projects were not without their challenges, and we
spent several months on both projects examining several different strategies and

opportunities to reduce costs. At this point we feel that we have addressed cost concerns
to the extent possible,but this work did delay our timeline by several months.
Secondly, the rising interest rate environment has created new challenges in financing
construction projects, and the uncertainty around concerns about additional rate hikes
and a potential economic recession are causing lenders and investors alike to revise their
outlooks for the coming year. This has led to slower-than-anticipated velocity on
identifying and securing both debt and equity for the project.
We remain very optimistic about our ability to put together financing for both projects.
We are highly focused on this project and the identification of capital for these projects is
our top company priority for the next 2 quarters. Now that we are nearly "shovel ready"
on both projects, we are able to make a very strong case for the investment thesis on these
projects and will be able to talk to many investors and lenders who may have been
waiting on the sidelines until the project was further along in the predevelopment cycle.
We will be able to cast a wide net of outreach and are confident in our underwriting and
that these projects will represent an excellent opportunity for investors.
We look forward to a continued strong partnership with the city on the North Anchor
projects and to bringing them both across the finish line for UDP and for LORA and the
community.
Sincerely,
,-,, ,01,-,—C----

13. CALL TO ORDER, REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (LORA)
Chair Buck called the Lake Oswego Redevelopment Agency (LORA) meeting to order at
5:23 p.m. on July 19, 2022.
Present: Chair Buck and Board Members Manz, Wendland, Nguyen, and Rapf.
Board Members Verdick and Mboup were excused.
Staff Present: Martha Bennett, Executive Director; Jason Loos, LORA Counsel; Sidaro
Sin, Redevelopment Manager; Kari Linder, Recording Secretary
Others Present: Sarah Zahn, UD+P; Boyce Postma, Hacker Architects
14. BOARD BUSINESS
14.1 North Anchor Project Update
Mr. Sin introduced Ms. Zahn, chief operating officer for the project developer, UD+P, and Mr.
Postma, architect with Hacker. Recognizing the Board's priority of keeping the project on track,
he indicated that much has been accomplished by the team and by staff since December. Despite
challenges, notably financial, significant progress would be shared with the Board.
Ms. Zahn noted the presentation would provide an overview of the past and upcoming six-month
periods. Mr. Postma, lead designer for the hotel and also closely involved with the residential
project, would be available to assist. The team regards the community as a desirable place for
development and continues to be enthusiastic and committed to the project. Displaying slides
(Presentation — North Anchor Project Update), Ms. Zahn reminded the Board that a key aspect
is creating a name and identity for the hotel, since it will not be flagged as a national brand.
Beginning with design updates, she reviewed a pricing exercise undertaken in recent months to
identify cost-saving opportunities. Only one significant design change to the multi-family
residential portion would be apparent: relocation of the entrance (Presentation p 4-5/32). The
hotel, being managed on a track separate from the multi-family, also reflects design changes (p
7-8/32) and is now entering a final stage of design. She reviewed significant changes to the north
and west elevations, including related positive effects; an additional design review process is not
anticipated at this point. Next, renderings showing aspects of the hotel were described (p 9-
12/32), including the meeting room, some proposed materials, and functionality of the building as
a whole. The branding and restaurant concepts have been advanced with significant help from a
local design firm, including outreach to people about current community highlights and needs for
Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 4
July 19, 2022
consideration. The hotel's name should be finalized shortly. Foundations for the brand were
detailed (p 14-18/32), with attributes including warmth, magnetism, and radiance. Considerable
analysis has been done to identify characteristics of likely guests (p 20). The efforts had
culminated in a guiding statement: "Light the Way". This recognizes the five months of the year
that are dark in the Pacific Northwest, yet where light and warmth are sought in the beauty of
outdoors. This has guided the design and will be reflected in the hotel name and other brand
components, she indicated. A similar process was followed for the restaurant. Significantly, it was
found that the restaurant must be embraced by the community; an 83-room hotel alone cannot
support a 100-seat restaurant. An overview and creative concepts were highlighted, including the
need to distinguish it as a Lake Oswego, not Portland, restaurant (p 23-24). Photographs of four
"comparables" for purposes of inspiration were then shown (p 25-28).
Board Member Rapf cited erroneous assumptions made by businesses coming into Lake
Oswego from elsewhere. Having found that residents generally seek an unpretentious setting and
service, various businesses have either retooled or failed. As presented by Ms. Zahn, concepts
for this project reflect a good understanding of the community, he opined. The challenge will be
to operate the business in a way that recognizes what Lake Oswego is and what is not. In
response to Board Member Wendland's questions, Ms. Zahn indicated that announcement of
the hotel's name and concept is probable within the coming two to three months, with possible
phasing-in of some aspects. The name, at least, would be unveiled prior to the start of
construction. Member Wendland emphasized the community's high level of demand for the hotel,
the sooner the better.
Ms. Zahn next discussed the environment in the capital markets, with interest rates increasing.
Even a greater factor for developers has been escalating construction cost, together with supply-
chain unpredictability. A dramatic drop in the volume of real estate transactions has been seen;
lenders, underwriters, and investors are in essentially wait-it-out mode. Developers are waiting
and watching before moving forward to initiate a construction loan, seeking an equity investor or
selling an asset. For many reasons, it is a time of great uncertainty and challenge. Specific to this
project, it has been capitalized sufficiently to break ground, and UD+P is currently looking for
additional investment capital. They are seeing interest in the project by many of their lenders and
investors, but are being asked to provide updated cost numbers from the contractor. Their focus
now is on budget revisions that reflect the contractor's changes and the reworked plans from
Hacker. These are anticipated within the next four to six weeks, after which the investment search
will proceed aggressively. Despite the hesitancy in capital markets, the team remains confident
that the project will go forward; it simply has slowed down slightly. Finally, she reviewed the project
schedules. While the multi-family is running somewhat ahead of the hotel at this point, the plan
continues to call for coordination of staging in terms of construction; concurrent work on the two
projects allows for cost savings. However, much depends on how the capital comes together. The
multi-family and hotel schedules were discussed (p 31-32), with indications being that the hotel
will lag the multi-family project by one to two months. She reiterated the caveat of capital as a
major determinant of timeline, and its priority in the next quarter.
Chair Buck inquired about the estimated length of the construction period. Ms. Zahn and Mr.
Postma concurred that it would be about 18 months, with completion probable in summer 2024.
Member Wendland commended the team for recognizing the priority of a low noise level for
customers of the restaurant, and Mr. Postma acknowledged its importance. Member Wendland
asked about current projections for the multi-family rental pricing as compared to the earlier target.
Ms. Zahn advised that the rates are surveyed constantly, particularly as they must demonstrate
to lenders and investors that pricing is in the target-market range. Discussing the distinctive
market environment in Lake Oswego, she noted that the Mercato Grove and The Windward
Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 4
July 19, 2022
projects, regarded as comparable to this one, are tracked very closely. This will help in guiding
price points that are reasonably conservative, i.e., in the middle of that comparable-market range.
In response to Member Wendland's questions about their approach on capital markets, she
explained that a bank would be the debt partner, with differing percentages loaned on the
residential and hotel components; the remainder would be private-equity funding. Also being
considered is an institutional partner. She clarified that the hotel company would not participate
as a capital partner, but would simply be the operator. Their experience and good track record
also will provide benefits as potential investors consider the project.
At Ms. Bennett's suggestion, Chair Buck and Ms. Zahn agreed that the next Board update
would be scheduled, likely for some time in the fall quarter.
Member Wendland asked about the possibility of including pads for artwork in the project as art
is greatly valued by citizens. Ms. Zahn confirmed that this is already in the plans.

Adjustment of Republic Services' solid waste collection rates.
Respect. Excellence. Trust. Service.
503-635-0215 380 A AVENUE PO BOX 369 LAKE OSWEGO,OR 97034 WWW.LAKEOSWEGO.CITY
Page 2
BACKGROUND
Garbage and recycling collection services in Lake Oswego are provided by Republic Services,
operating under a 10-year exclusive franchise within the city (Ordinance No. 2600). The
franchise expires on Dec. 12, 2022. A new franchise ordinance, Ordinance No. 2901, was
adopted by Council on October 18, 2022 and granted Republic Services a new 10-year
franchise, starting December 13, 2022.
As part of the City's regulation of solid waste collection, the Council is responsible for ensuring
that rates are just and reasonable and adequate to provide necessary public service. The
process for establishing service rates outlined in the City's 2012 franchise (Subsection 13(E)),
and continuing in the 2022 franchise (Subsection 8(B)(ii)), is as follows:
"Rates shall be approved by the City Council from time-to-time by resolution, as
provided by LOC 20.10.720. In determining the appropriate rate to be charged by the
Franchisee, the City Council shall consider:
(1) The cost of performing the service provided by the Franchisee, including any
additional costs (or savings) resulting from recycling.
(2) Anticipated increases in the cost of providing the services.
(3) The need for equipment replacement and the need for additional equipment
to meet service needs; compliance with federal, state and local law, ordinances
and regulations; or technological change.
(4) The investment of the Franchisee and the value of its business and the
necessity that the Franchisee have a reasonable rate of return or fair operating
margin.
(5) Rates in other cities in this metropolitan area.
(6) Other factors deemed relevant by the City Council."
The services provided by Republic Services for which the Council establishes rates include
residential, commercial, and industrial collection of garbage, recycling, and organics (food
scraps and yard debris), as well as drop box service and on-call and extra container pick-ups.
Rates for each customer type vary based on the level of service—the size of the roll cart or
container and the frequency of pickup.
Republic Services submitted a rate increase request on August 5, 2022. The City contracted with
Chris Bell of Bell &Associates, Inc., a consulting firm with expertise in solid waste collection
operations and providing similar services to Clackamas County, to review the submitted request
and financial reports and provide recommendations to the City on options for rate adjustment.
DISCUSSION
At the October 18, 2022 Council Meeting, staff presented the findings of Bell & Associates' rate
review (Attachment 2) and options and recommendations for City Council to adjust rates
effective January 1, 2023. Council directed staff to return with a resolution approving the
following proposed rate adjustment options:
Respect. Excellence. Trust. Service.
503-635-0215 380 A AVENUE PO BOX 369 LAKE OSWEGO,OR 97034 WWW.LAKEOSWEGO.CITY
Page 3
• Increase residential rates by 5.27%, maintaining the current rate structure.
• Bundle commercial food waste collection into commercial rates, and increase
commercial rates by 5.17%.
• Set rates for drop box and roll off compactor service at the cost of service.
Additionally, the Council directed staff to include in the Resolution continuation of the 50%
discount on solid waste collection services for Lake Oswego School District facilities that was
included in the 2012 franchise agreement (Ordinance 2600) and include extension of the
discount to other schools. There are five private schools that provide education to students in
grades 1— 12: Our Lady of the Lake, Mayaan Torah Day School, Park Academy, St Stephen's
Academy, and International Leadership Academy. The impact of extending the discount to
additional schools on rates is approximately 10 cents per yard for all commercial container
customers.
Together the subsidy for schools and bundling of organics collection into commercial container
rates adds $1.25 per yard to commercial container rates. Monthly commercial container rates
will increase by an average of 10%, varying based on container size and collection frequency.
Increasing residential rates by 5.27% and commercial rates by 5.17%, and setting rates for drop
box and roll off compactor service at the cost of service is necessary for Republic Services to
achieve the target 10% operating margin in 2023 in light of rising costs of fuel, disposal, and
labor, inflation, and decreasing recycling markets. Maintaining the current structure for
residential rates continues to provide a waste reduction incentive by keeping the costs for
smaller cart sizes slightly lower than the cost of service. Adopting a bundled commercial
container rate that includes organics collection will make it easier for Lake Oswego businesses
to comply with the new Metro business food scraps separation requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 22-27, adopting new rates that will
be effective for all customers January 1, 2023.

Project Background
Collection of waste and recycling within the City of Lake Oswego (City) is accomplished under an
exclusive franchise agreement between Rossman Sanitary Service, doing business as Republic
Services, and the City.
As the regulator of waste and recycling, City Council is responsible for ensuring rates are just and
reasonable, and adequate to provide necessary public service. Section 13, paragraph E, states the
following:
Rates shall be approved by the City Council from time-to-time by resolution, as provided by LOC
20.10.720. In determining the appropriate rate to be charged by the Franchisee, the City Council shall
consider:
(1) The cost of performing the service provided by the Franchisee, including any additional costs
(or savings) resulting from recycling.
(2) Anticipated increases in the cost of providing services.
(3) The need for equipment replacement and the need for additional equipment to meet service
needs; compliance with federal, state, and local law, ordinances and regulations; or
technological change.
(4) The investment of the Franchisee and the value of its business and the necessity that the
Franchisee have a reasonable rate of return of fair operating margin.
(5) Rates in other cities in this metropolitan area.
(6) Other factors deemed relevant by the City Council.
Republic Services submitted a rate increase request to the City Council on August 5, 2022. To review
the reported results and calculate the rates, the City contracted with Bell &Associates, a consulting
firm with expertise in solid waste collection operations, to provide the City with solid waste and
recycling consulting services.
Annual Cost Report
The annual cost report provides line-item costs and revenues associated with providing service within
the City and combined line-item totals for their operations outside of Lake Oswego. The report format
provides the capacity to calculate the cost of service for each line of business (cart, container, and
drop box). Cart collection is primarily for residential customers, whereas business customers are
serviced with a container. Reported results were analyzed, and the following tasks were completed:
a. Analyze reported route collection hours to the reported customer counts for each line of
business.
b. Using a predictive test of revenue for each line of business, ensure the reported revenues are
reasonable for the number of reported customers.
c. By thoroughly reviewing the reported direct cost line items, determine if the expense is
reasonable in relation to the customer and operational data entered from the detailed cost report.
d. Utilize a predictive test of disposal to determine if the reported disposal expense is reasonable.
e. Using the reported administrative line items, determine if the expense is reasonable in relation
to the operational data entered from the detailed cost report.
f. Review the costs between the City and Republic's other franchised collection operations to
determine if the allocations are reasonable.

Adjusted Report
Financial data was consolidated by service, showing the collection system's total revenues and
expenses. This consolidated report allows the calculation of the system's return-on-revenue and
provides a measure of the adequacy of rates. Table 1 details the return for each collection service
provided within the Lake Oswego franchise collection system.

• Fuel is expected to increase by only 10% from the increased cost of natural gas. While the price of
natural gas has increased, it is still significantly lower than diesel.
• Decreasing markets for recycling in 2022 have increased processing costs by 52% compared to
the previous year.
• Disposal costs are estimated to increase by 6% in the calendar year 2023 for solid waste and 3.5%
for organic waste compared to the 2021 expense.

Solid Waste Disposal
Metro is the regional wasteshed manager for all waste disposed within its boundaries. As the
regulator, Metro assesses a Regional System Fee (RSF) and excise tax on every ton of waste
generated and delivered to a licensed disposal facility within the Metro region. The current RSF is
$29.43 per ton, and the excise tax is $12.80 per ton. Earlier this year, Metro staff presented Metro
Council with a plan to increase the disposal fees by approximately 7% annually over the next four
years. Table 5 summarizes Metro's proposed increases.
Table 5: Metro Disposal Fee Four-Year Estimated Cost
Rate Component FY23 FY24 FY25 FY26
Mixed Waste Fee $78.17 $85.87 $94.46 $102.15
Regional System Fee $29.43 $31.37 $33.31 $35.76
Metro Excise Tax $12.80 $12.80 $12.80 $12.80
Metro Host Fee $1.50 $1.50 $1.50 $1.50
Oregon DEQ Fee $1.89 $1.89 $1.89 $1.89
Total Tip Fee at Metro stations $123.79 $133.43 $143.96 $154.10
% Increase from the prior year 7.10% 7.80% 7.90% 7.10%
Metro is also a competitor for regional waste and controls the amount of wet garbage each facility can
accept. Metro's current allocation of tonnages to private transfer stations is approximately 40% of all
waste tons generated within the region. Willamette Resources Incorporated (WRI) is the transfer
station that takes Lake Oswego's waste. Over the last three years, Metro has reduced WRI tonnage
allocation to 74,606 in FY20, 70,782 tons in FY21, and 70,108 tons in FY22. Therefore, the estimated
disposal rate charged to Lake Oswego depends on WRI receiving at least 70,100 tons of waste in
FY23. If WRI's tonnage allocation is lowered by Metro, the disposal fee charged by WRI will increase.
Commercial Collection Rates
The overall increase necessary to return a 10% margin for commercial collection is $124,078, which is
a revenue increase of 5.17%. Table 6 details the proposed rates for the most popular container sizes
effective January 1, 2023.

Residential Collection Rate Consideration
There are two methods to increase the rates to achieve a 10% return on revenue; the cost of service
or applying a flat percentage increase.
The current rates for residential roll cart collection service were not set at the cost of service.
Customers with smaller carts (20 and 35 gallons) receive a discount, whereas those with 65 or 95
gallon garbage cart pay more to subsidize the customers with the lower volume carts. Table 7 details
the cost of service by component for residential service.
Table 7: Residential Cost of Service Rates
Level of Service 20 gal 35 gal 65 gal 95 gal
Collection Cost $17.01 $17.01 $17.01 $17.01
Administration Cost $3.76 $3.76 $3.76 $3.76
Garbage Disposal $3.59 $6.08 $10.49 $15.19
Recycling Processing $1.29 $1.29 $1.29 $1.29
Yard Debris Disposal $4.83 $4.83 $4.83 $4.83
Margin & Franchise Fee $5.38 $5.82 $6.60 $7.43

Rate Difference (Cost of $10.36 $4.43 $(7.09) $(4.00)
Service- Current)
Residential Customer Count 1,458 6,892 2,461 958
The increase for residential cart collection to achieve a 10% return is to raise rates by 5.27%.
Therefore, table 8 multiplies the current rates by 5.27%.
Table 8: Current Residential Rates Increased by 5.27%
Level of Service Current $ ♦ Proposed
20 Gal. Can $25.50 $1.34 $26.84

90 Gal Cart $53.51 $2.82 $56.33
Monthly $20.38 $1.07 $21.45
The question for City Council is what method should be applied to set the residential collection rates.

Drop Box / Roll Off Compactor Service Rate Calculation
Drop box hauling fees are calculated on the operational costs per hour multiplied by the average time
to provide the service, plus the administrative cost, margin, and franchise fees. Disposal fees for drop
box and roll off compactor service are a separate charge not included in the rates calculation.
Disposal fees are passed through on the invoice without any margin or franchise fee markup.
Therefore, customers should be able to compare the disposal charge on their invoice to the posted
fee schedules for the various disposal sites. Table 9 details the rate calculation for both drop box and
compactor service.

Commercial Food Waste Service Rate Consideration
Metro's commercial food waste program goes into effect on March 31, 2023, for customers that
generate over 1,000 pounds of food waste per week. The program aims to divert food from the waste
stream to higher uses such as compost. The requirement designates businesses into different groups
based on the amount of food waste they generate and has phased compliance deadlines, starting
with the largest generators.
There are three tiers of food waste generators ranging from 1,000 pounds of food scraps per week
(Group 1), followed by customers that generate 500 pounds of food scraps (Group 2), and customers
that generate 250 pounds of food scraps per week (Group 3). Low food waste generators not required
to participate but choose to are classified as Group 4 under the program requirements.
Clackamas County has identified 17 businesses as Group 1, 45 businesses in Group 2, and 64
businesses in Group 3. According to Clackamas County records, eight Group 1 businesses are
participating in the program.
While the larger food waste generators are required to participate in the program, any business that
generates food waste can participate. Republic Services is currently providing food waste collection
services to 45 customers within the City. Service levels vary from as little as one 64 gallon cart
collected once a week to a three yard container collected four times a week. The rates charged to the
food waste generators are subsidized by approximately 30% below the service cost. Implementing the
collection rates to support the program can be accomplished by three methods:
1. Cost of Service,
2. Subsidized, which is the amount current food waste participants are paying, or
3. Bundled, which is spreading the cost of the food collection program to all commercial
customers.
Table 10 summarizes the rate impacts for all three rate methods for full participation for the current
participants plus the remaining nine food waste generators that are not participating in the program.
Table 10: Commercial Food Waste Collection Rate Alternatives
Level of Service Current Cost Current Rate Bundled Rate
of Service (30% subsidy)
64 gallon cart weekly $56.37 $39.46 $0
90 gallon cart weekly $59.94 $41.96 $0
2 yard container weekly $290.46 $203.32 $0
3 yard container weekly $383.79 $268.65 $0
Subsidy Cost per Yard of SW $- $0.31 $1.15
Rate Impact (3 yard weekly) $0 $4.03 $14.94
The Cost of Service method is the additional amount charged to the food waste generator to divert
food waste from their garbage. The rate impact would be to businesses identified by Clackamas
County as large food waste generators.

2022 SW Rate Review Report
The Current Rate is a 30% subsidized rate for targeted businesses, impacting all commercial
customers by $0.31 per collected yard of waste. For example, a business that has three yards of
garbage collected once a week, the rate impact is $4.03 per month (3 yards x 4.33 pickups per month
x $0.31 per yard) to maintain the program. The current program was implemented to "buy down" the
large commercial subsidy identified during the previous rate review.
Implementing the Bundled Rate would eliminate the additional food waste charge and allocate the
program's cost to all business customers that use a commercial container for service. The rate impact
to the business customer with a 3 yard container collected once a week would be $14.94 (3 yards x
4.33 pickups per month x $1.15 per yard)
The question for City Council consideration is what rate method should be implemented for the food
waste program.

4. PRESENTATIONS
4.1 Proclamation — Lakewood Theater Anniversary
Mayor Buck recognized the significant contributions of the Lakewood Theater Company to the
quality of life in Lake Oswego (Proclamation — Lakewood Center for the Arts 70th Anniversary).
Since staging its first performance in 1952, the Company today is the oldest continuously-
operating theater in the Portland metropolitan area. The Lakewood Center for the Arts is the
largest arts provider in Clackamas County, and he hailed the Center leadership for their
exceptional commitment to the arts and enrichment of the community. Along with opening of their
fall show, Blithe Spirit, running September 9 through October 16, the Lakewood Center will
celebrate its 70th-anniversary party this coming weekend.
4.2 Proclamation — Hispanic Heritage Month
Mayor Buck announced that the City is honored to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, from
September 15 to October 15 (Proclamation — National Hispanic Heritage Month). As detailed in
the Proclamation, this year's theme is "Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation", a message that
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 21
September 6, 2022
encourages all to reflect and celebrate the many contributions of Hispanic community members
to the vitality of Lake Oswego. A cultural exchange event will kick off the celebrations on Sunday,
September 18, from noon to 8:00 p.m. at Millennium Plaza Park. It will include musicians and
other artists, traditional dance performances, along with food and various other vendors.
Additional information is available on the City website about this and other events celebrating
Hispanic Heritage Month in the community.
4.3 Introduction of New Lake Oswego Police Chief George Burke
Mayor Buck provided background on the community's high expectations of the City's police
department. Over the course of years, the department has worked hard to gain the community's
trust through actionable progress and transparent collaboration. Last year's community survey
showed 88% of respondents to be very satisfied with the quality of police protection, considered
extraordinarily high for communities in the Northwest. Upon Chief Dale Jorgensen's announced
retirement earlier in the year, the City had initiated a national search for a leader with the desire
and skills to foster the high level of trust between the people of Lake Oswego and their police
department. Specifically, the ideal candidate would be capable of continuing the City's traditions
of excellence and innovation, someone who could connect with people and share the commitment
to a welcoming and inclusive community. Police Chief George Burke, now completing his first day
on the job, was introduced by Mayor Buck as the consummate law enforcement professional. He
understands that a police department's success depends on building healthy, trusting
relationships with the community and he is deeply committed to inclusive, community-oriented
policing. His skills in mentoring staff and solving problems will be a great asset.
Called on for comments, Chief Burke was welcomed with applause. He expressed his honor at
being selected and acknowledged the high bar that has been set for the City's policing. He
commended the department's professionalism, noting the importance of their community dialog
in recent years. Going forward, he anticipates continued engagement and deepening
relationships throughout the community. Development of the strong current staff for the future is
a high priority, one that he is excited about.
5. PUBLIC COMMENT
• Greg Hayden
Mr. Hayden noted that he has lived for 46 years at his home near the North Shore Road bridge.
Over the months of the bridge's closure to vehicular traffic, he and many other neighbors have
come to appreciate the vast reduction of cut-through traffic and the related safety issues for people
and pets. The necessary detour for motorists, he indicated, is not a significant inconvenience. The
bridge now conveys large numbers of pedestrians and bicyclists, and he asks that the City explore
making the closure permanent. This would allow for only non-vehicular traffic, similar to Portland's
Tilikum Crossing. Mayor Buck indicated that the City would consider his comment and follow up.

8. PUBLIC HEARING
8.1 Appeals of the Development Review Commission's Approval of Type II Tree
Removal Applications at 529 8th Street 499-22-000160—TREE (AP 22-03) and at 541
8th Street 499-22-000158-TREE (AP 22-04)
In opening the hearing, Mayor Buck first highlighted the consolidated hearing format, which was
proposed in place of two separate public hearings. He asked for confirmation that all members
present found the format acceptable, and all indicated their endorsement.
Mr. Boone reviewed the subject and parameters, both as to inclusion and exclusion, for the quasi-
judicial hearing, citing pertinent Lake Oswego Code (LOC) sections. As the hearing will be on the
record established before the Development Review Commission (DRC), no new evidence may be
presented in the hearing. No issue may be raised on appeal to Council that was not raised with
sufficient specificity to enable the Commission and the parties to respond to the Commission. Only
persons who appeared before the DRC orally or in writing may testify. Testimony and evidence
must be directed toward the applicable criteria, and persons testifying are asked to identify the
criteria or standards being addressed so that Council may consider the testimony in relation to the
applicable criteria or standards. Time limits for testimony were reviewed as shown in the agenda;
however, any person in attendance who qualifies to testify may cede his or her time for testimony
to another person who qualifies to testify. Next, he outlined the format for testimony and then noted
that, if after deliberation, a motion is made to approve the application with conditions stated in the
motion and before the vote, the Applicant may raise constitutional or other issues relating to the
motion's proposed conditions of approval with sufficient specificity to allow Council to respond to
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 21
September 6, 2022
the issue. Failure to do so precludes an action for damages in the circuit court. Next, he asked
Council members to declare any ex parte contacts, bias on the application or any conflicts of
interest. Councilor Manz stated that she had walked by the site and viewed it on two occasions.
Mayor Buck noted he also had made a site visit. Mr. Boone asked if there was any objection or
challenge to a City Council member's right to consider the appeal. None was heard.
Staff Report
Ms. Cissell, staff coordinator for the two tree-removal applications, advised that Ms. Numanoglu
would be available to address questions after her presentation, as necessary. She next introduced
Exhibit F-008 for both records, submitted on behalf of the Applicant. Exhibits G-346 through G-
354 for AP 22-03 (Application 499-22-000160-TREE) and Exhibits G-349 through G-357 for AP-
22-04 (Application 499-22-000158-TREE) were introduced, these being received in opposition to
the tree removals; they reiterated previous concerns that have been addressed in the record.
The Council Report (Appeals AP 22-03 and AP 22-04) was supplemented with related slides
(Presentation — Appeals AP 22-03 and AP 22-04). Ms. Cissell noted that the two tree-removal
applications relate to the same property owner on abutting lots within the R-6 zone, a residential
medium-density zone. The two properties have historically been developed with a small single-
family home. They constitute two legal lots of record that are now proposed by the owner for
separate development of two single-family homes. As detailed in the Council Report (p 2),
following a public hearing on June 20, the DRC tentatively approved the removal of five trees.
The First Addition Neighbors— Forest Hills Neighborhood Association (FAN) subsequently filed a
Notice of Intent to Appeal the DRC's decision. At this appeal hearing, staff will focus on Criterion
3, which addresses tree-removal impacts on the character or aesthetics of the neighborhood
(Report, p 2-6). The DRC had found that both applications meet the Type II removal criteria. They
agreed with staff that the removals would have a significant negative impact on the neighborhood
in relation to Criterion 3: specifically, loss of continuity of the neighborhood skyline and removal
of 50%or more of a stand of trees. Notwithstanding, the DRC agreed that an exception to Criterion
3 was applicable because there were no reasonable alternatives that allowed the property to be
used as permitted in the zone. The DRC and Council have previously found that requiring the
Applicant to shrink the size of the dwelling to less than what is allowed by the zone, limiting
development to one dwelling or requiring a different dwelling type are not reasonable alternatives.
When considering alternative designs, staff considers shifting the building footprint within the
buildable envelope, flipping the footprint or reconfiguring it if doing so will maintain the functionality
and constructability of the dwelling. The Appellant contends in their appeal that reasonable
alternatives to removal do exist and that the DRC erred in finding that an exception to Criterion 3
applied in approving the applications.
Displaying related slides, she reviewed background from submission of the original applications
through building plan approval. For the south lot, at 529 8" St. (Presentation, p 6-9/18), four Type
II removals were approved by the DRC. For the north lot, at 541 8' St. (Presentation, p 10-13/18),
five Type II removals were approved; two alternative site plans shown at the DRC hearing
(Presentation, p14/18) were not deemed reasonable because any alternatives must comply with
code, and neither complies with setbacks. She reiterated that both the DRC and Council have
previously found that it is not a reasonable alternative to require the applicant to obtain a variance
or reduce the size of the dwelling below what is permitted by the zone. Further, DRC and Council
found that it is not a reasonable alternative to require the applicant to construct a different dwelling
type, such as a zero-lot-line dwelling, as suggested by one of these site plans. Per the DRC, staff

TREE.
Testimony
Testimony of the Appellant
Jill Cabral-Schinn (via video conferencing)
Ms. Cabral-Schinn noted that she spoke as representative of the First Addition Neighbors and
Forest Hills Neighborhood Association. Thanking Council for their consideration of the matter, she
emphasized its importance to FAN neighbors, as reflected in their unprecedented number of
comments submitted, i.e., over 130, and their Association's unanimous vote to appeal. With
accompanying slides (Presentation - Appellant on AP 22-03 and AP 22-04), she provided an
overview of her presentation at the DRC hearing, substantiating that the majority of criteria for
removal were not met and hence the exception and approval of the applications was in error. The
DRC's finding shows obvious disregard of the Tree Code and clear lack of effort to preserve
significant trees and integrity of rights of neighboring properties, she asserted. Neighbors are not
opposed to development; they simply ask that it be responsible and reasonable, without such a
glaring negative impact on their neighborhood.
The Appellant contends that the majority of criteria have not been met to allow the exception,
resulting in the DRC's erroneous approval of the tree-removal applications. Citing references from
Chapter 55, she noted that weather events of the past three years were a factor in determinations
of "Fair" condition of some trees on the property. Nonetheless, trees in either "Fair" or "Good"
condition are deemed healthy by the City, so five of the nine trees approved for removal meet that
standard. The majority of those also meet criteria defining "significant tree", notably that they
constitute part of a stand of trees. Significant trees have dwindled greatly, with noticeable effects
on the neighborhood that will be catastrophic if allowed to continue (Presentation, p 2-3). She
disputed the Applicant's claim that both lots are flat (Presentation, p 4-5); in rainstorms, water
rushes down the slope. By leaving more of the trees in place, this water and any erosion effects
on this property and downslope neighbors would be easily controlled. With removal of so many
trees, stormwater mitigation is necessary, resulting in even more removals. Successive images
were displayed to illustrate additional concerns: (1) Change in permeable surface, from one small
cottage to two large homes with basements and driveways (Presentation, p 6/16); (2) Increased
susceptibility to windthrow for John Dunn's redwood (p 7/16); (3) A major gap in the skyline for
surrounding neighbors with removal of 15 trees total, including Type I trees, leaving only three, a
massive change in character and aesthetics. The Applicant had stated that no gap in the skyline
would result and that, in fact, these were individual trees, not a stand (p 8-13/16). The Appellant
called for the Applicant to bear the burden of proving that all options have been explored to
preserve more than 50% of this stand, which has not been done. By the time of the DRC hearing,
the Applicant had not provided a mitigation plan; assuming one has not yet been provided, this
omission should render the applications incomplete and therefore not approvable. If instead the
Applicant chooses to pay a fine totaling only $1,215 for removal of nine significant trees, it will
require 150-plus years for replacements to reach the current trees' stature. This is deeply
disheartening to the Appellant. She asserted that the Applicant simply states there are no
alternatives, without describing what, if anything, was explored by way of alternative designs or
evidence to support their claim. The Appellant insists on reasonable exploration of alternatives to
save more trees on each lot, as seen elsewhere in the neighborhood (p 14/16), e.g., angling the
houses, modifying one or both to have a single-car garage, exploring a variance, relocating
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 21
September 6, 2022
driveways and/or surfacing them with permeable material, building closer to significant trees,
retaining the property as one lot and building one home sited to preserve more trees. Most obvious
is omission of basements, which are included only to increase square footage and the sale price.
Basements will be prone to flooding and will increase flooding risks for neighbors. The Applicant's
arborist stated before the DRC that omitting or reducing size of basements would allow more trees
to be preserved. The Applicant was aware of the tree distribution on the property before buying
it, and it is utterly shocking that staff and DRC have deemed this plan acceptable; essentially, it
is a clearcutting to build two identical homes with basements. Although the Applicant claims that
their development is intended to address the housing crisis and repeatedly mentions HB 2001,
Ms. Cabral-Shinn challenges this. As a person employed in affordable-housing advocacy, she
attested that multi-million-dollar single-family homes do not address that crisis. Council was asked
to put themselves in the place of adjoining neighbors and to consider adverse effects on them.
These would include costs of remediating runoff and possible flooding and replacement of shade-
loving plants. Particularly on the B Street side, neighboring properties will now be less desirable:
bordered by roads and the side of a house, rather than by a stand of trees. Property values and
enjoyment of their homes will be affected. Mr. Dunn's redwood tree can be expected to suffer
damage, with additional expense to him and perhaps eventual loss of the tree.
The Appellant asks that Council hold the Applicant to providing alternative plans to preserve a
minimal number of trees as detailed in the displayed image (p 15/16). After detailing how various
alternatives might be made feasible, she concluded that two perfectly sizable homes could be
built on the property while preserving at least three, if not more, trees. Council was asked to think
about the cumulative impact on the neighborhood's tree canopy as a result of the many permits
that have been issued for removals (p 16/16). Since 2016, the total Type II Trees removed in the
city will soon be 223 if the proposed nine are approved here; in contrast, eight trees have been
saved by denied permits over that timeframe. Council should represent all neighbors and what
is best for the community as a whole: responsible preservation of trees in symbiosis with
development. All community members must be stewards of the land while preserving it for future
generations. The Applicant, she concluded, did not adhere to the code and did not provide any
viable, legal alternative designs. Therefore, the permits should be declined.
Testimony of Individuals in Favor of the Appeal
Mayor Buck noted that testimony by Ann Mikulka would include time ceded to her by Pierre
Zubrinsky.
• Ann Mikulka
A resident of the Bryant Neighborhood, Ms. Mikulka requested Council's support for the appeal.
She highlighted the massive community response regarding this matter: over 160 comments prior
to the DRC hearing, including signatures, per application in opposition to removal of the trees.
Secondly, the Applicant has not met certain Tree Code criteria. Citing various code sections, she
stated that removal of the nine Type II trees is very likely to have a significant impact on the flow
of surface water, existing windbreaks, and the protection of a neighbor's coast redwood. All nine
trees are significant, in her opinion, in terms of both size and character. All are very large and
clearly visible from nearby streets. Each is part of a grove of trees, which contributes to the
forested character of the neighborhood, its tree canopy, and its skyline. Removal would have a
significant negative impact on the character and aesthetics of the neighborhood, as shown in
photos she displayed. As these trees make up a stand as defined by code, removal of more than
50% of the stand is not allowed. The Applicant's plan to remove much more than that is not
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 21
September 6, 2022
allowed and they have not met exception criteria by demonstrating that there are no viable
alternatives. Her belief is that Renaissance Homes is an experienced builder with the expertise
to devise a more suitable footprint; she emphasized the City's authority to "consider alternative
site plans or the placement of structures that lessen the impact on trees" from exception criteria
in the Tree Code. Council is urged to require the Applicant to submit alternative building designs
that are reasonable for residents, in contrast to the current unreasonable plan. The Tree Code's
purpose is to preserve the city's wooded character and protect trees as a natural resource.
Therefore, the City's duty is to interpret and enforce code in the best interest of the entire
community, rather than the commercial interests of one developer. The Applicant should be
required to submit an alternative design that is viable and reasonable for FAN/Forest Hills
residents.
Mayor Buck noted that testimony by Betsy Wosko would include time ceded to her by Ann
Savage.
• Betsy Wosko
Ms.Wosko heralded Governor McCall's 1973 foresight in supporting Senate Bill (SB) 100, known
as Oregon's Comprehensive Plan, and touched on three important components: (1) It created 19
statewide goals. (2) It required local governments to establish their own comprehensive plans. (3)
It established an agency to oversee compliance with the State's comprehensive plan. She
recognized Goal 1 as the result of Governor McCall's awareness that development interests
would or might have an outsized influence on land use policy and practice and that citizens would
provide a necessary check-and-balance against development and commercial interests. In the
matter now before Council, this is borne out by the 200 or more comments in opposition between
the two applications, as well as the opposition of the home NA. Goal 1 requires strong
consideration of these comments and denial of these applications. The applicable portion of Lake
Oswego's comprehensive plan supports denial, as well, as found at Healthy Ecosystems,
Ordinance 2687, from January of 2016. She enumerated positive benefits of old trees cited there,
including prevention of surface runoff and erosion, habitat provided for urban wildlife, and
promotion of economic vitality, noise buffering, decreased crime, and increased property values.
The State and local comprehensive plans are a land use constitution, she posited. The overriding
purpose of SB 100 was to delegate to local governments a fundamental framework in which to
consider creation and application of local ordinances, policies and practices. To the extent there
is any question, ORS 197.175 (2)(b) explicitly requires cities to enact land use regulations to
implement their comprehensive plan provisions. Accordingly, land use in Lake Oswego should be
guided by LOC Chapters 50 and 55 (the building and tree codes, respectively). To the degree the
City does not regard its comprehensive plan as a constitution, Article 1, Section 20 of the State
constitution requires individuals to have equality of treatment with developers in terms of due
process and equal protection, she asserted; therefore, saying and applying in policy and practice
that the development code trumps the tree code is a myth and is pro-development propaganda.
The Chapter 55 exception (i.e., "no reasonable alternatives exist to allow the property to be used
as permitted in the zone" at LOC 55.02.080 (3)(b) violates Article 1, Section 20 of the Oregon
constitution, as it places the development code ahead of the tree code; rather, they should be
given equal footing. As to Chapter 55, Tree Code considerations weigh in favor of preserving
these trees. Per LOC 55.02.08, their removal would have a significant impact on the character
and aesthetics of the neighborhood and would reduce property values. Among other impacts, the
skyline would be affected drastically, wildlife habitat decreased, and less rainwater absorption,
carbon sequestration, and shade would be available. Chapter 55 considerations alone and as
interpreted through the City's comprehensive plan weigh strongly in favor of denying the
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 21
September 6, 2022
applications. The smaller mitigation trees would not come close to matching the benefits of the
existing ones, and the City's application of the tree and development codes has been skewed too
favorably to private property and commercial interests, in both policy and practice. As noted
earlier, in First Addition the vast majority of Type II applications since 2016 have been approved.
These two applications should now be considered within the context of hundreds of similar
applications. The City must and should consider the cumulative impact of tree removal, especially
in light of the climate crisis and loss of biodiversity. Developers prefer tree removal because it is
easier and more profitable to clearcut than to preserve. That is neither a good nor justifiable
reason for removal and would violate the City's comprehensive plan; Tree Code considerations
and public policy also weigh strongly in favor of denial of the applications. Council is therefore
asked to require the Applicant to spare all of these trees and instead build a single-story or two-
story home on the existing footprint where a home has been on the property for decades.
Overturning of the DRC decision and denial of these applications is requested.
• Mark Puhlman
Mr. Puhlman introduced himself as a 10-year resident of the Forest Highlands Neighborhood and
current member of the Sustainability Advisory Board (SAB). He joins in requesting approval of the
appeal and denial of the Type II tree removal applications. The trees in question satisfy all criteria
of LOC 55.02.080 for being saved, he stated. They have not outgrown the setting; their removal
would impact drainage adversely, while lost benefits of the trees would include their significant
contribution to the skyline and screening of nearby homes, all mentioned in the applicable code.
Additionally, the Applicant is asking to remove more than 50% of a stand of trees, which is
disallowed. The key issue, he believes, is a misinterpretation of LOC Chapter 55 (Tree Code).
This misinterpretation allows developers to remove any tree that interferes with construction of
any structure that is allowed by Chapter 50 (the building code). The Applicant states, and the
DRC concurs, that there is "...no reasonable alternative to allow the property to be used within
the zone". This code language allows anyone to twist the original meaning, allowing the removal
of any tree that is in the way of construction, and that is not the meaning of the code, in his view.
Though the word reasonable is often seen in U.S. common law, it does not mean that proposed
alternatives to the plan cannot cost the developer money or time. He likened this situation to
financial and other responsibilities of employers under the Americans with Disabilities Act: The
Applicant here, if necessary, should be required to change the building plans to accommodate
mature trees in the area. Changes should include omitting the basement and not subdividing the
property. Only one home should be built on the property, or perhaps two smaller ones or a duplex
to accommodate middle-income residents. He posed other questions of reasonableness,
including (1) requiring a duplex that could provide two middle-income homes, in the spirit of HB
2001, rather than pricing such residents out of Lake Oswego in favor of two multi-million-dollar
homes; and (2) denying basements for the houses, so as to decrease the amount of excavation
and protect these mature trees. Though he considers them reasonable, the Applicant has not
presented them as viable alternatives. If that is based on cost concerns for the builder, it is not
reasonable. In approving these applications, the DRC had explained that they felt compelled by
City interpretation of the Tree Code to approve these applications. Despite SAB and DRC memos
to Council in 2019 and 2020 encouraging changes to that code, changes have not been made.
Concluding, he noted that supporters of this appeal are aware that the development should and
will happen, but the land and aesthetics of the neighborhood must not be neglected. They implore
Council to deny the applications and uphold the appeal as the only reasonable course of action.
• Terri Kraemer
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 21
September 6, 2022
Ms. Kraemer explained that her home is next door, downhill from the Applicant's property on 8th
St., and she is concerned about surface-water damage if the trees are removed. The City's
topographical map shows an eight- to 10-foot elevation drop from the Applicant's property to her
and an adjacent neighbor's properties, yet the Applicant states that with proposed mitigation
measures, the tree removals will have no negative impact on surface water. However, the
Applicant did not provide any mitigation measures and claims that the surface water currently
absorbed by all of the trees on his property will not have a negative impact on the downhill
property. This makes no sense to her. City staff reported that, after completion of stormwater
management required with development, there will not be a significant impact on the flow of
surface water; however, staff failed to address the fact that removal of the trees will cause surface-
water disruption that must be mitigated, regardless of what Renaissance Homes decides to do
with the property or how long it takes to develop it. Because trees store and intercept water,
significant disruption to the flow of water is foreseeable, as is damage to her property from diverted
water. She believes the DRC erred in upholding the Type II tree-removal applications and that
the Applicant must do surface-water mitigation to prevent damage to her property. Having lived
there for over 12 years, she affirmed the accuracy of information on the City website about chronic
localized flooding in First Addition, and often on her property where it abuts the Applicant's.
Council is asked to reverse the DRC's decision and deny both of the Type II removal applications,
as surface-water mitigation is required regardless of development and has not been addressed
at all by the Applicant. She referenced pertinent code in LOC 55.02.080 (2). Additionally, all
privacy she has enjoyed will be lost when trees along the lot line are removed; although she
expected this property to be developed one day, she had never anticipated a builder being allowed
to remove all of these trees. Finally, she emphasized the importance of truth: In its application,
Renaissance Homes had stated that the proposed tree removals would not alter the neighborhood
skyline, that they are not removing more than 50% of the stand of trees, that the lots are flat or
nearly flat, and that, considering proposed mitigation measures, there will not be a negative
impact on surface water. None of these being true, she asked, why would the City believe that
the Applicant has considered all alternatives and found no alternative but to shift the footprint
slightly to save one tree? Her belief is that reasonable alternatives exist and should be considered.
Based on the purpose of the Tree Code, the City has an opportunity and an obligation to save
trees on these lots. Council should interpret the Tree Code in a legally-sound manner that allows
for development in order to save some of the trees. She asked that the DRC's decision be
reversed, with these Type II removal applications denied and the appeal approved.
• Stuart Eckmann
Mr. Eckmann noted that he and his wife live next door to Ms. Kraemer and adjacent to the
properties in question. They share her concerns with regard to privacy, runoff, and surface-water
damage, particularly when the application initially stated that the lots were flat. They also share
the concerns of John Dunn, the neighbor with the redwood directly across the alley from the trees
to be removed, and its probable exposure to wind shear. This developer, he opined, is proposing
what works for him, without reference to how it impacts the neighborhood. He joins in asking that
Council reverse the DRC's decision to approve the plans for building of the two houses at 529
and 541 8th St. It was the wrong decision, and they disagree with staffs statement, citing "The
alternatives to the tree removal have been considered, and no reasonable alternatives exist to
allow the properties to be used as permitted in the zone". Specifically, when staff asked the
Appellant to provide reasonable alternative designs, only the same design was submitted, flipped
or slightly repositioned on the lot, and it definitely does not provide an alternative design.

Ms. Eckmann observed that the Renaissance Homes website shows various standard plans that
are based on criteria or limitations of the particular lot, including a section on narrow lots. Although
more creative aspects of this could have been employed on these lots, that was not presented as
an alternative. Council is asked to consider other houses in the neighborhood constructed in
recent years, where some significant trees were retained without clearcutting everything. Two
such houses on B Avenue were described; one at the 8th St. intersection directly across from the
subject property had been able to accommodate an old-growth tree surprisingly close to the new
structure. This was achieved simply by building a partial basement with space left near the tree
to maintain its root structure, demonstrating that tree preservation with new development can be
done. For the lots in question, staff did ask for reasonable alternatives; however, what they
accepted from the Applicant was only the repositioning of the plans, not a design alternative.
Therefore, Council is requested to overrule the DRC decision, with staff and the Applicant to
explore design alternatives as they should have done. To expect this from some developers and
not from others creates, at the very least, a perception of differential treatment. Providing
alternative plans to save more trees, she concluded, is a reasonable request of Renaissance
Homes, given the description on its website as both a "customer builder" and a "green builder".
• Written Public Testimony is found in the meeting materials for Agenda Item 8.1.
Testimony of the Applicant
Kelly McCall, Renaissance Homes, introducing herself as the permit coordinator from
Renaissance Homes, provided an overview of the timeline, beginning February 11, 2022, with
submission of the application and posting of signs for the removal of 10 trees on two separate
legal lots. At the end of the public comment period on February 16 and due to the overwhelming
number of comments and attention received, the City questioned the removal of six of these trees.
The application was placed on hold to enable to the Applicant to provide more evidence in support
of the removals. The Applicant then (1) explored the root structures, under the supervision of
TRAQ-certified arborist Mary Giersch, (2) submitted a site plan clearly lining out the excavation
for foundations and shoring methods required for new code-compliant homes, and (3) retested
infiltration rates at different locations and depths; this enabled them to reduce the size of the
stormwater facilities and consequently to preserve one tree on 8th St. The City responded on
March 24, convinced that three additional trees could still be saved. In response, the Applicant
explored further with hydro excavation, and discovered root systems even more extensive than
detected previously. At this point, they submitted more alternative site plans to show that both
sites cannot be developed without the removal of nine proposed trees. These entailed increasing
the front setbacks of both homes to retain two additional trees along 8th, i.e., one Type I and one
Type II. Additionally, the City was furnished with more information, specific to each tree, from the
Applicant's arborist,justifying the removals in relation to both projects. A 33-inch Douglas fir was
included, based on the recommendations of both Ms. Giersch and the City's arborist. After further
consultation with City staff, the Applicant was able to submit final evidence and supporting
materials on April 15, which initiated the new comment period on April 22. Three months after the
original application had been submitted, City staff tentatively approved this application. On the
May 20 deadline, a formal appeal was received. This extended the project timeline to meeting
with the DRC on June 20. At that meeting, the DRC decided in favor of the application, but on
July 15 it was appealed to the City Council. As the Council does not meet in August, the timeline
was extended another month to this appeal hearing. Neither construction nor demolition of the
existing house can begin until the tree-removal situation has been determined. In the meantime,
the Applicant has worked very closely with staff to ensure compliance with the City's application
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 21
September 6, 2022
procedures. The Applicant has provided clear evidence that is certainly above the standards
expected from a typical homeowner, she noted. They have fully justified the removal of all trees
for which applications are submitted, and Council is encouraged to deny this appeal and allow
the Applicant to move forward with their project today.
For Council's awareness, Ms. McCall spoke briefly about unpleasant public attacks from
neighbors near the project site and from other community members. This included a neighbor
who approached the Applicant in a very hostile manner following the announcement of the DRC's
decision, as well as police responses on two occasions for trespassers posting extremely rude
and distasteful propaganda on the Applicant's property. Threatening people who are constructing
housing is utterly inappropriate; their company has built hundreds of homes, and she intends to
stand behind their project. She also wants everyone, including her family, to be safe, and asks for
an end to the hostility now to enable their project to move forward. There is no merit in drawing
the process out any further, she concluded.
In response to a question from Councilor Rapf, Ms. McCall described the nature of various
encounters that she regarded as threatening to her company and/or their employees, e.g.,
instructing nearby schoolchildren to write certain verbiage on the sidewalk in chalk. Mayor Buck
indicated that this exchange did not address the criteria. In relation to comments heard in earlier
testimony, people wanted to know what other alternative designs the Applicant had considered
beyond shifting the design back on the property to preserve trees along 8' St. Mayor Buck asked
what other alternative designs they considered throughout the process, based on the record. Ms.
McCall explained that moving the basement had been considered at one point. However, after
consultation with their arborist and doing more of the exploratory trenching and hydro excavation,
they realized that even with a traditional foundation or no basement, the tree-removal situation
would be the same.
Councilor Mboup asked Ms. McCall to address a report from ArborPro, and she stated that she
had not seen that report and could not speak to it. The Applicant's arborist had agreed with the
City's arborist, and that provided them the necessary verification.
Jamie Howslev, Jordan Ramis PC, continued the Applicant's Presentation. As attorney for
the Renaissance project, he referenced his letter to the City dated September 6 (Written Public
Testimony) outlining the Applicant's legal response to the appeal. They agree with the DRC and
City staff that all of the applicable criteria have been met and therefore the appeal should be
denied. The crux of this appeal is that Renaissance failed to consider reasonable alternatives, but
it fails for these reasons: (1) Renaissance is not required to look at every possible permutation on
the lots. In concluding that the criteria had been met, staff and the DRC averted a subjective
search without end, as well as violations of the clear and objective criteria and the State law. (2)
As correctly explained in the staff report, under Exception (3)(b), the City of Lake Oswego has
already established in other cases that a builder is essentially enabled to use the full buildable
area of a lot and is not required to do things such as variances in order to be allowed tree removal.
The Applicant has met their burden of proof, supported by substantial evidence in the record, not
only from their arborist, but confirmed by the City's arborist. (3)The Appellant's desire for smaller
houses and designs that provide additional tree preservation is not supported by LOC 55.02.080
essentially because the designs submitted by the Applicant are permitted outright in the zone.
Conversely, the code does not require or provide any authority for the City to mandate that they
reduce the house size, as the appeal assumes. As detailed in his letter and related attachments
(Written Public Testimony, p 1-2/46), changes implemented with ORS 197.303(1) apply to nearly
all housing types. The Applicant believes that Lake Oswego's tree ordinance fails to meet the
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 11 of 21
September 6, 2022
requirements of this "needed-housing" statute because it lacks clear and objective criteria. He
highlighted two significant reversals achieved by his firm in front of the Land Use Board of Appeals
(LUBA), along with another in the Lane County area, among other examples related to
jurisdictions applying criteria that are not clear and objective. The Applicant is concerned that
now, five years after enactment of the statute and two years after local governments were
informed by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) that their codes may
no longer be compliant with state law, the City continues to resolve conflicts between tree
preservation and housing development using discretionary criteria. Specific code issues are
discussed in the letter (p 2-6/46). The Appellant's assertions failed to demonstrate an error, and
therefore Council should deny the appeal. With regard to "needed housing", the City is long
overdue in aligning itself with the legislature's clear requirements and in ceasing to impose
subjective criteria. He offered his firm's experience in doing so. On a personal note, he stated
that, while recognizing that this is not a popularity contest, he had witnessed some comments
after the DRC hearing which he viewed as a threat. Having done this work for over two decades,
in two states and probably more than 100 jurisdictions, this is the first time he has felt threatened
in an urban setting.
Councilor Mboup raised questions about the legality and objectivity of the City's ordinances and
whether or not Oregon legislators had multi-million-dollar housing in mind when they worked on
housing needs. After offering background on the "needed-housing" statute, Mr. Howsley opined
that it encompasses housing from lowest-income to the most expensive house in the state,
excluding Portland. He referenced the Applicant's letter for citations of where they believe the
City's Tree Code departs from clear and objective criteria, as noted earlier. Mr. Boone suggested
that if Council wished to discuss these questions, it should be during deliberations.
Randy Sebastian, Renaissance Homes, final speaker for the Applicant, introduced himself
as president of the organization developing this property. Most of his friends in construction no
longer build in Lake Oswego because of the community enmity they have experienced, he
indicated. As the prior U.S. president had normalized bullying, civility had been lost. The result
was reflected in the jeering of the Appellant, including their staff, at the DRC hearing. Some of the
people attending that meeting were present at the current appeal hearing; he singled out one
threat that had been directed at him at the DRC meeting. After taking the issue to the Lake
Oswego Police and being referred to the county sheriff's office, he dropped it. He vowed to
continue Renaissance building work in the community, recognizing this as the environment that
exists and one that his friends have chosen to avoid. Regarding discussion heard earlier on the
urban growth boundary, which he supports, he asked Council members if they were aware that
only 2% of the land mass in Oregon is allowed for residential housing, a result of Governor
McCall's great foresight with SB 100 in 1973. Though this is not a lot of land, the Applicant does
all they can to build within it. Next, he provided background on his family's strong connection to
the city, starting with his great-grandparents' home and farm property within present-day First
Addition. He dismissed claims he has heard that the trees are 150 years old; they are no more
than 80 or perhaps 100. Despite concerns heard about these high-end homes that are not covered
under"needed housing", people need to understand that all housing helps. Someone buying one
of these homes will sell another house, he explained, with someone then buying their first home;
the domino effect is ongoing. Renaissance Homes is Lake Oswego's largest builder in terms of
permits, but they regard it as a contentious place to work. He credited their staff, along with the
City's, for working effectively in a very good relationship. As the community is his home and his
office has been here since 2004, he does not plan to leave. His 32 employees and subcontractors
enjoy building here. He asks that Council stand by City staff and the DRC and do not allow the
bullying, mistruths, and other effects on his company. The threats, postings, trespassing, and
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 12 of 21
September 6, 2022
need for police intervention should stop. If they do not, civility in Lake Oswego loses, along with
needed housing and codes to which the Applicant is adhering.
Appellant's Rebuttal
Jill Cabral-Schinn (via video conferencing)
Ms. Cabral-Schinn first addressed the Applicant's references to incivilities by persons in support
of the appeal: Students at the nearby school were not instructed to write messages in chalk on
the sidewalk nor were any children forced to do anything. She acknowledged that one neighbor
had written in chalk simply "Save more trees" prior to the 4th of July parade. The same message
had also been posted on signs in some residents' yards, and a sandwich board displayed some
of the documents submitted to the DRC and a few Lorax pictures. As to the verbal attack, that
was one person who made an emotional comment. Ms. Cabral-Schinn stated she did not
condone that and affirmed it had occurred, but that the person had recognized immediately that
she was in the wrong. Mr. Sebastian, however, had failed to mention a photo of this woman he
had posted on social media and other things he has said about her and others supporting this
appeal. She suggested that Council members review the DRC hearings, the comments of appeal
supporters, and consider their own experience at this hearing; in her view, none of the supporters
have been anything other than civil and respectful. Mr. Sebastian's categorization of their
supporters as violent, etc., is not appreciated. One person made an emotional mistake and a
couple of passionate people displayed signs in their own yards. She then summarized the ways
this application fails to meet the code: (1) These are significant, healthy trees in the only stand
within many blocks. (2) They are important features and assets of the neighborhood, especially
to neighbors in close proximity. (3) The property is not flat, and surface water and erosion will be
issues for these and neighboring lots. (4) The neighbor's redwood is at great risk if the current
plan is carried out. (5) Removal of these trees will drastically change the skyline, leave a large
gap, and most certainly change neighborhood aesthetics. (6) The plan calls for removal of much
more than 50% of the stand: nine Type II plus six other trees, for a total of 15 trees, leaving three
in place. Removals will represent 83% of the stand. (7)Alternatives exist and should be explored,
and the Applicant must bear that burden. Exploring alternative designs should mean exploring
alternative design plans, not just moving around the same design and proving that it doesn't work.
(8) None of the alternatives mentioned at this hearing had been mentioned in either application,
and in most respects, this is the first she has heard of them. At the DRC hearing, the Applicant's
arborist had stated that at least one tree could be saved if basements were omitted; however,
earlier in this appeal hearing they had reported they explored that possibility, but that was a moot
point. The Appellant asks for the meaning of that, along with the supporting data and explanation.
She echoed Ms. Kraemer's testimony in questioning the truth of the Applicant's statement that
alternatives had been explored, since they had made continuous false statements throughout the
application. Council has the power to clarify verbiage related to exceptions and not allow another
applicant to slip through the loophole; it has become such an expectation of developers that Mr.
Sebastian came to this hearing prepared with an argument about the Tree Code's lack of
enforceability. Concluding, she reiterated that the Appellant is all for development that is
responsible, reasonable, and in compliance with the code, while taking the rights and interests of
all citizens into account. Council is asked to represent the neighbors who will be affected by these
tree removals and also the community and its best interests. All of their property rights should
matter, too.
Questions of Staff
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 13 of 21
September 6, 2022
Councilor Manz requested confirmation that pre-existing stormwater conditions had been taken
into consideration. Ms. Numanoglu advised that the plans have been reviewed by staff and found
to comply, but the permit will not be issued until the tree permit is resolved. She and Mr. Boone
responded to related questions of stormwater removal and mitigation as relevant to the Tree
Code. Councilor Manz inquired about the arborist's report that had been discussed earlier. Ms.
Cissell clarified that the Applicant's arborist, Ms. Giersch, had prepared the only arborist's report,
submitted as part of the application. Additionally, the City's contract arborist visited the site and
prepared staff findings that are in the record. The ArborPro report referenced earlier should not
be considered in Council's deliberations as it was discussed at the DRC hearing but not submitted.
Councilor Mboup asked whether staff's work on this matter takes into account the current climate
crisis and loss of diversity. Ms. Cissell explained that these are not part of the Type II criteria for
tree removal, which are the criteria considered by staff. Councilor Mboup next asked: Since
neighbors and NAs say that alternatives do exist, does staff believe that there are alternatives
other than cutting nine trees to mitigate? Ms. Numanoglu noted that staff had presented the
alternatives in their report that they will typically consider as reasonable alternatives. Displaying
the site plan (Presentation — Appeals AP 22-03 and AP 22-04, p 3/18), she emphasized that
alternatives can be required to save additional trees, but only if it meets code, e.g., shifting the
footprint in such a way that it meets code setback standards without removing even more trees.
In this case, the building design plan is maximized, but as allowed in the R-6 zone, and other
shifts in placement will not save additional trees. Additionally, constructability and functionality of
the structure must be considered; she cited examples of alternatives that are not considered
reasonable or functional. Regarding two specific trees, Ms. Cissell indicated that staff also had
questioned removal, but learned that both were in poor condition and not candidates for retention.
At the DRC hearing she came to understand that only the arborists for the Applicant and the City
had looked at the trees closely; Mr. Boone confirmed this was shown in the record. Councilor
Mboup asked if it could be considered a reasonable alternative if building of these two houses as
proposed would impact an existing neighbor's house, i.e., Ms. Kraemer's, as heard in testimony;
given that, should removal of the nine trees be allowed? Ms. Numanoglu noted that, had the
Applicant not proposed any sort of mitigation measures and simply removed the trees, there
would be a negative impact and the removals therefore disallowed. She discussed the City's
permits process and the need to issue the removal and building permits together. The City will
not allow the Applicant to remove the trees and then not build anything. This is an improbable
scenario after an applicant has completed both permit processes. In this case, the plans show
stormwater chambers and lines, and they have been reviewed by staff and found to comply with
the stormwater-management regulations.
Mayor Buck inquired about reasons for the greater side yard setback here in the R-6 zone, i.e.,
7%feet, as compared to certain other zones. Ms. Numanoglu advised that the 7%feet pertains
to all new development in the zone, as with these dwellings. In responding to related questions,
she noted that the 6,000-square-foot lot in this zone is not large, compared to lots where more
space would allow greater flexibility with placements. Having heard in some testimony that no
mitigation plan has been submitted and therefore no mitigation will be done, Mayor Buck
requested clarification. Ms. Numanoglu explained that mitigation is not a criterion for approval;
rather, it is a requirement. If an applicant is approved for removal of any Type II trees, they are
required to mitigate at a 1:1 ratio; it is not a criterion for approval, so it is not a basis for rejecting
an application. Many times, as in this instance, the City may even require mitigation beyond the
1:1 ratio. The Applicant has not submitted a mitigation plan, but it is a condition of approval. She
affirmed that if these applications are approved, staff would then require the Applicant to submit
a mitigation plan. Responding to additional questions, Ms. Numanoglu advised that staff would
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 14 of 21
September 6, 2022
make the approval decision on that plan. She reviewed the conditional approval as written by
staff, which required the Applicant to replant 10 mitigation trees between the two lots, with specific
size requirements for deciduous and evergreen trees. In the event all 10 trees cannot be fit onto
the lots, the code affords flexibility by allowing the Applicant to pay into the Tree Fund; however,
staff must first review and agree that the space is insufficient. If Council is seeking opportunities
for enhanced mitigation, the conditioning authority in the Tree Code allows Council to call for that;
for example, larger-stature evergreens might be required for mitigation of some trees, though
realistically not all 10. In terms of adding more trees, she emphasized the need to consider site
constraints: building footprint, underground utilities, existing trees that must remain, and narrow
side-yard setbacks. In addition, there is a Community Development Code requirement that for
new dwellings in the R-6 zone, two new street trees must be planted. Given certain limitations of
this property, she explained how staff believes at least two large-scale evergreens could be
required as street trees, along with three others on the lots, for a total of about five large-scale
evergreens. Together with the three trees that must be planted on the site, this would leave seven
for the Applicant to mitigate. Of those, staff suggests that they be allowed flexibility, either to plant
other appropriate-sized trees, all native, or pay into the Tree Fund if space is not sufficient. While
acknowledging that the ultimate goal is to plant all of the mitigation trees on site, realism must
also be applied. Where a site is overcrowded, staff has seen the new owner begin to remove
trees, which is not desirable. Therefore, the plan should be realistic and reasonable, allowing
adequate growing space, rather than creating conflicts for the future.
Addressing questions from Councilor Nguyen about the nine trees slated for removal, Ms.
Cissell advised that four of the nine are deemed in "Poor" condition; those rated "Fair" or"Good"
are considered healthy by the City's arborist. Of the latter five trees, all of which are rated `fair',
three are within the building footprints and one (Tree 10302) is near the location of basement
excavation and sewer lines (Presentation —Appeals AP 22-03 and AP 22-04, p 3/18); another is
requested for removal because it is part of the stand of trees and therefore not a good candidate
for retention if the other trees are removed.
Mayor Buck requested any feedback staff might have on the Applicant's comment regarding Tree
10302 to the effect that its removal is necessary to meet shoring requirements for the basement
excavation. However, a subsequent comment was made that even without the basement, that
tree would need to be removed. Ms. Numanoglu pointed out the stormwater line along the lot's
south property line; if placed on the north side, the stormwater facility would necessitate removal
of that tree. She affirmed that there is no alternative location for that utility because if it was moved
to the north side, the large tree could not be retained.
At Councilor Manz's request, Ms. Numanoglu clarified the suggested location for the new street
trees in the large right-of-way north of the property line. As such, the street trees would be the
responsibility of the property owner. With regard to neighborhood character and sightlines, she
confirmed that Councilor Manz is correct in believing the City has determined the trees requested
for removal to be significant. The trees may not be removed without approval of the exception
under Subsection 3 (b), Mr. Boone added, i.e., related to the reasonable alternatives, among
other grounds found by both staff and the DRC.
Councilor Verdick asked who would bear responsibility for care and maintenance of the street
trees mentioned by Councilor Manz. Ms. Numanoglu stated that the property owner will be
responsible for both the street and onsite trees. For all Type II permits associated with building
permits, the City inspects 100% of the mitigation; this ensures that all of the trees are planted
before the final inspection is done. Staffing capacity does not allow the City to follow up on all
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 15 of 21
September 6, 2022
mitigation in the city. However, in an instance of unauthorized removal or a maintenance issue
with a tree, the City typically receives a complaint and follows up for compliance. Mr. Boone cited
other pertinent code references on which Council might consider basing a condition of approval.
Councilor Mboup expressed his need for clarification of the code references to "clear and
objective" with regard to saving some of the nine trees. He asked what could be done to
communicate to the Applicant that certain healthy trees should not be removed. Mr. Boone
advised that the question about the "clear and objective" standards raised by the Applicant's
attorney pertains to the State statute that requires the criteria be clear and objective. However,
there are circumstances in which, under the City code, removal of healthy trees is allowed; the
question before Council now is: Have each of the criteria been met? In essence, the answer must
be based on (1)whether or not alternatives have been considered; (2)a finding that no reasonable
alternatives exist to allow the property to be used as permitted in the zone, and if so, then (3)
there is an exception found under Criterion 3. Due to that exception, and if Criteria 1, 2, 4, and 5
have been met, the removal can proceed. Ms. Numanoglu responded to Mayor Buck's request
for clarification of the mitigation plan.
Councilor Nguyen followed up with questions about condition of specific trees on the two lots.
In responding, Mr. Boone pointed out that health of the tree is only one of several sub-criteria for
establishing whether or not it is a "significant tree"; that determination is one of the elements of
the code's Criterion 3. In the context of a Type II removal request, a tree's health relative to its
condition is only important as one of those criteria. Agreeing, Councilor Nguyen noted that with
Council's full faith in the ability of staff to interpret code, this degree of detailed exploration should
not be required of the policymakers. When Council identifies code that is not in accord with the
spirit and intent of the community, that needs to be addressed. Staff, however, is charged with
interpretation and enforcement of code, and ensuring that permit applications meet the approved
code. The need for policy change can be considered during deliberations, when Council takes a
broader view: What is the intent or spirit of this ordinance? Mr. Boone concurred, adding that
legislating is for a time other than at this hearing. The question now before the Council is: What
does the existing code require, as we interpret it based upon the legislative history since it was
adopted, as heard by this Council, and as decided by the DRC? Councilor Nguyen
acknowledged this, stating that Council is required to make the decision based on the code that
is currently in effect.
In response to inquiry from Councilor Mboup about his right to interpret this code by the spirit
rather than the letter of the law, Mr. Boone emphasized that code is interpreted on the basis of
determining what the legislative body intended at the time of its adoption. That is done by looking
at the code's (1) text, (2) context, (3) legislative history, particularly staff commentary
accompanying the annual code amendments, and (4) rules of construction. After verifying that
the pertinent property address is 529 8th St., Mayor Buck called for deliberation on AP 22-03.
Mayor Buck moved to tentatively affirm the Commission's decision to approve the tree
removal application 499-22-000160-TREE with the following conditions of approval: that,
of the street trees required, we require one large evergreen tree; and of the onsite
mitigation trees required, we require two large evergreen trees to be planted; and in
addition, we require the City to ensure the owner maintains the health of all the mitigation
trees for a period of twelve months. Councilor Rapf seconded the motion.
Responding to requests for clarification from Council members, Mr. Boone explained that the
hearing format requires Council to ultimately make two separate decisions because a party may
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 16 of 21
September 6, 2022
decide to appeal one and not the other. Also prior to deliberations, he apologized to the Council
for not addressing earlier in this hearing the issues people brought forth, that in fact, none of these
are in the record because they obviously occurred after the DRC hearing. Council therefore
should disregard that, to the extent it may be weighed as a factor. Secondly, he suggested that
Council first consider the analysis based on the Tree Code. Mayor Buck asked about comments
in this hearing by Mr. Howsley, the Applicant's counsel, discussing court cases decided as
recently as the previous week: Are these comments in the record? Mr. Boone advised that they
are not in the record, but more a sort of general legal argument by Mr. Howsley.
Mayor Buck, having read through the hundreds of comments submitted regarding these appeals,
thanked community members for their efforts. He described the extensive research he had done
to explore the historical context of the Tree Code provision that is central to the appeals, and
specifically the question of alternative designs. Specifically, he sought to identify what the City
Council had in mind at the time they adopted the pertinent Tree Code provisions. He learned that
efforts to determine the best balance of development and conservation of natural resources has
been ongoing for decades. Despite today's concerns, some of which have been heard for over
20 years, he also recognizes positive movement by the City with regard to the tree canopy and to
investment in publicly-owned natural areas. Along with considerable development around the city
over the past two decades, he has seen treed character maintained. As painful as individual tree
removals continue to be, he believes it also draws attention to the bigger picture: how carefully
applications for removal are considered and how attention has been drawn to the many trees that
are not cared for properly. The latter is demonstrated by the decayed condition of trees on the
property in question, which he finds appalling. As noted earlier, more trees are being lost because
of lack of care and stewardship than through these Type II permit approvals. The monitoring
offered by the permit process, including the strong public engagement explicitly required, is
important. Yet the entire urban forest cannot be preserved only through that process. Regarding
compliance with criteria in this appeal, he joined others in wishing the Applicant had proposed a
home that would work around some of the existing trees or at least those deemed healthy. He
recognizes that the initial plans had been changed modestly to preserve the three healthy trees
along A Avenue. However, the code is clear that restrictions cannot conflict with the requirements
of the zone or the use; while it would seem the Applicant should be required to build a smaller
home on this lot or to build one house on the combined property, these are not legal options that
are before the Council. Some of the Council members' arguments might be considered in a
different scenario, e.g., where the property owner sought to build affordable multi-family housing
or middle housing and the number of units might be restricted. However, Mayor Buck is in favor
of ensuring that the approved plan, with its enhanced mitigation, really addresses the need to
replace much of what is lost. He is concerned that if Council denies the permits here and the
matter is taken to court and the City loses, all of that enhanced mitigation also will be lost. In that
situation, not only will the property be developed, but the City will have no say in what is planted
there in return; this is a risk he is unwilling to take. At this time the mitigation is within the City's
control, and Council should now ensure that these conditions of approval will return some of the
large-growth trees and ultimately the ecological value so many have mentioned.
Councilor Rapf commended the Mayor's remarks. He indicated he would vote to affirm the
DRC's decision, largely based on the property rights issue. In a society where people own
property of value and neighbors encroach on that value or tell neighbors what they can or cannot
do, it exacerbates a situation that now is being seen: people looking over the fence, whispering
and yelling at one another, rather than having civil conversations. He likened this matter to the
right to have children without asking the neighbor's approval. A neighbor should not have the right
to tell him what he can do on his property, and therefore he supports this motion.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 17 of 21
September 6, 2022
Councilor Mboup indicated he takes an opposing view: Property owners do not have the right to
do anything they want on their property, e.g., making excessive noise at midnight, just as they
cannot destroy the environment on their property. The many benefits of trees and the air around
us belong to everyone. The decision for him is simple: There are laws, including city code, but
people are people; while he respects Mr. Sebastian, Councilor Mboup stated that he will never
forfeit or negotiate on children, education, and nature. As an educator himself, he asserts that
removal of these trees will impact the children at his school. City code is written by people, i.e.,
Council. If Council denies permits in this case, the Applicant's attorney may take the City to court
on the "clear and objective" issue of ORS 197.3, but will not win. This is the people's city, and
there is no objectivity to removing these trees, he stated; therefore, he will vote against the motion.
Councilor Nguyen noted that, in considering the two appeals separately, he had learned that the
northerly lot (AP 22-04) has four trees in "Poor" condition and one rated "Fair", hence the request
calls for removal of only one tree that is not likely to remain viable for the longer term. The appeal
now being considered, for the southerly lot, presents a more difficult decision for him. This entails
removal of four trees considered healthy, all in "Fair" condition. He will not necessarily oppose it,
but wants to see another good-faith effort from the Applicant to provide an alternative that would
save one or two more of these -Fair" trees for the sake of the community; all possible
permutations are not expected. He called on the Applicant, as a fellow Lake Oswego business
owner and resident, to consider the importance of good relationships with the community. As
compared to more formidable sites where houses have been built, e.g., lakeside lots that are very
steep and/or narrow, he sees the site here to be less challenging. He would support the DRC's
decision to approve the application for the northerly lot, but wishes to see this additional step
taken on the southerly lot.
Councilor Manz expressed gratitude to all who have participated in this process, including all
who have testified, the volunteer DRC, staff, and neighbors. She emphasized that her role as a
Council member in this hearing is to determine if the DRC decisions on these appeals meet code
and if code was applied objectively; in this quasi-judicial hearing, the rules cannot be changed
without new legislation. As the Mayor had noted, the issue has been ongoing for decades. She,
too, had looked back for more context, and believes it may be time to review the development
and/or tree codes. That remains to be determined. She urged those who are working on either
side of the issue to continue providing feedback to Council; that is the basis for the best decision-
making. Given the community's high level of involvement in this application process, together with
concerns voiced about the rapid pace of development in numerous neighborhoods, she asked
that the community convey to Council their ideas for legislative solutions. As to the task at hand,
she will vote in favor of the Mayor's motion and its included conditions of approval.
Mayor Buck pointed out an earlier concern he had, like Councilor Nguyen, about the adequacy
of alternative design solutions for this lot. Specifically citing obstacles to a reduced basement, he
reiterated that if this appeal is denied, his concern is that if the Applicant proceeds with a court
action and the City loses, they will lose the ability to mitigate. In response, Councilor Nguyen
opined that neither he nor any of the parties are seeking a court action; for the benefit of everyone
involved, it is unfair that people feel their voices are not being heard. Regarding this lot, while it is
not required by law, offering an additional design alternative(s) would be the right thing for the
Applicant to do. Differentiating the law from what is good for the community, he suggested it would
demonstrate the Applicant's good faith and also help the Council in its decision-making. He
clarified that, while he would currently endorse approving the tree removal requested in AP 22-
04, on the matter now before Council he suggests remand back to the DRC.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 18 of 21
September 6, 2022
Mr. Boone reviewed the options available to Council: to approve, to approve with conditions or
to deny. It would be up to the Applicant whether or not to remand, but a Council motion including
that would essentially constitute a denial because Council found that the criteria were not met.
Following additional comments from Councilors Mboup, Nguyen, and Mayor Buck about the
Council's role at this hearing, Councilor Rapf echoed concerns heard earlier from Council
colleagues: Significant risk of losing options may follow if this matter goes to a court above. At
this time, Council should secure that which is within their control.
After clarifying that it pertains only to the lot at 529 8th St., Mayor Buck reviewed the motion before
the Council. He called for any comments from the Appellant. Mr. Howsley responded that there
are no objections for the record. Mayor Buck finalized language for the motion, with input from
Ms. Linder and Ms. Numanoglu. At Councilor Manz's request, Mayor Buck verified accuracy
of the revised language regarding mitigation trees. Councilor Nguyen suggested the possibility
of certain modification to the mitigation that might be at the Applicant's option, rather than
required. After related remarks from Councilors Rapf and Nguyen, Mayor Buck called for the
vote on his motion to tentatively affirm the Commission's decision to approve the tree
removal application 499-22-000160-TREE,with the following conditions of approval: Of the
street trees required, require one large Evergreen to be planted, and of the on-site
mitigation trees, require one large Evergreen to be planted; and also require the City to
ensure the owner maintains the health of all mitigation trees for a period of 12 months.
A roll call vote was held, and the motion failed, with Mayor Buck and Councilors Rapf and
Manz voting 'aye' and Councilors Mboup, Nguyen, and Verdick voting 'no'. (3-3)
In response to Council members' questions, Mr. Boone suggested that another motion be put
forward. Mayor Buck asked those Councilors who voted 'no' what changes might result in a
passing vote. Councilor Mboup reiterated his objection to any motion that allows for removal of
all nine trees. Any motion he could support should consider the voices of the neighbors and of
nature. Such a motion would preserve the trees he had identified specifically earlier, i.e., those in
healthy enough condition to be saved. Necessary workarounds can be found, as seen with many
other neighborhood properties. Councilor Nguyen acknowledged that he would vote against the
motion as it is currently presented. In order for him to vote in favor, he indicated he would need
to see a good-faith effort from the Applicant to find an alternative design that would save more
trees. To him, the crux is that, although the motion includes mitigation, it does not replace
sufficiently the trees to be lost; he needs to see additional effort to preserve more trees. Councilor
Verdick endorsed Councilor Nguyen's remarks about the need for additional design alternatives:
To offer only a flipped floor plan does not demonstrate good faith by the Applicant. While not
expecting to save all the trees or to see a comprehensive array of alternative designs, she
believes it is reasonable that the Applicant present one or two more options.
Mayor Buck reiterated his concerns that if Council denies the application and it goes to circuit
court or LUBA and is overturned, this will end with no conditions of mitigation imposed. Councilor
Nguyen discussed his view that both the City and the Applicant face risks in such a case. Mayor
Buck reiterated his belief that those opposing the motion do not have a legally valid, code-based
reason for denial at this time. Requesting several clarifications from staff, Councilor Nguyen
reiterated his doubt about the Applicant's good-faith effort. Questioning again the reasonableness
of the DRC's decision, he discussed issues of objectivity versus subjectivity that may have
precluded some potential alternatives. Ultimately, the Applicant took the easiest and most
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 19 of 21
September 6, 2022
economical approach. Mayor Buck concurred. However, he opined that the Applicant had not
done a good job of showing that many alternatives were pursued. Nonetheless, the Mayor
remains unconvinced that requiring additional designs will result in saving more trees, given the
constraints in this zone. Councilor Rapf pointed out that this decision must consider the need for
equitable treatment of both Applicant and Appellant: Had it been a single family applying to build
a home on this property instead of a prolific Lake Oswego developer, it likely would not have
generated so much opposition or reached this point, he opined. Councilor Nguyen conveyed his
belief that the City would be able to defend its position in court because it could be demonstrated
that there were no alternatives considered except for flipping the same floor plan. Mayor Buck
identified as a key sticking point the City's reliance on the precedent of considering "reasonable
alternatives"; applicants must be allowed to build what is permissible in the zone. Councilor
Nguyen countered with benefits of denying this application, e.g., requiring applicants to submit
creative designs that work within the lot constraints to achieve harmony with nature. Mayor Buck
emphasized the uncertainty generated by this approach, which in turn, contributes to the housing
shortage; this is why the State is looking for clear and objective standards. Councilor Nguyen
concurred that predictability is needed, but asking the simple questions about alternatives is part
of the City's necessary due diligence. Both acknowledged that disagreement on the point could
not be resolved in this hearing.
Recognizing the deadlock, Mayor Buck advised that their excused colleague, Councilor
Wendland, will be asked to review the record. Council will then take another vote. Mayor Buck
moved to table AP 22-03 and reconsider it when all seven members of the Council are
present at the September 20, 2022, meeting. Councilor Rapf seconded the motion.
In discussion of the motion, Mayor Buck affirmed that it is to consider only AP 22-03. Councilor
Manz differentiated current code from prospective legislative changes that had been discussed,
reiterating that the question now before Council is constrained by the code.
After a further brief exchange, a voice vote was held, and the motion passed, with Mayor
Buck and Councilors Mboup, Nguyen, Verdick, Rapf, and Manz voting `aye'. (6-0)
With regard to AP 22-04, Mayor Buck moved to tentatively affirm the Commission's
decision to approve the tree removal application 499-22-000158-TREE, with the following
conditions of approval: Of the street trees required, require one large Evergreen, and of
the onsite mitigation trees required, require one large Evergreen. Also require the City to
ensure the owner monitor the health of all mitigation trees for a period of 12 months, and
direct staff to present findings, conclusions, and an order finalizing the Council's tentative
decision on September 20th, 2022. Councilor Nguyen seconded the motion.
Mayor Buck called for any comments from the Appellant concerning the additions heard in the
motion. Mr. Howsley stated there are no objections to those proposed.
At Mr. Boone's request, Ms. Numanoglu clarified that the conditions of approval on both
applications stipulate that approval of each is dependent on the approval of the other. This is
because the trees are in a tight group , and the removal of some trees will leave others vulnerable.
Mr. Boone reviewed the language for the Council, confirming that if this motion passes, it is
contingent upon the other appeal, now tabled, also being approved. After additional clarifying
discussion, a roll call vote was held, and the motion passed, with Mayor Buck and
Councilors Nguyen, Verdick, Rapf, and Manz voting `aye'. Councilor Mboup voted 'no'. (5-

affirmed the discussion would be carried over until the next meeting.

4. STUDY SESSION
4.1 Wastewater Treatment Plant Project Update.
Deputy City Manager, Anthony Hooper introduced the project team and noted there were many
individuals present and able to answer questions Councilors may have.
Farshad Allandadi, Business Services Group Manager for the Portland Bureau of
Environmental Services, appreciated the opportunity to make a few comments in support of the
City Council Special Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 7
September 27, 2022
program, which had been a very long road for both jurisdictions. Replacing the Tryon Creek
Wastewater Treatment plant was in the shared interests of both municipalities and there had been
a lot of good work done evaluating some viable alternatives. The Bureau believed very strongly
the Public Private Partnership (P3) negotiated thus far was a very viable solution to the shared
municipal needs. Work had been done before he began at the City of Portland, and Lake
Oswego's Staff had been excellent partners. He looked forward to the conclusion of the process
and concluding the negotiations of the updated Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the
jurisdictions following the P3.
Mr. Hooper presented the Staff report, via PowerPoint, with a review of the history of the project,
the progress to date, the benefits of the P3 option, project goals, and an overview of the physical
site. The City Council would be presented with the definitive pricing from EPCOR on November
15, 2022. Additional comments were noted as follows:
• The Tryon Creek Plant was built in 1964 and needed to be upgraded. The plant served both
Lake Oswego and Portland but was owned by the City of Portland. Under the P3 arrangement,
the plant and the land would be owned by the City of Lake Oswego but operated and
maintained by EPCOR.
• EPCOR would design, build, and finance the plant during the construction period and operate
and maintain the plant for the following 30 years.
• There would be a new aerial rendering of the design to reflect the shift of the administrative
building and main facility to the west side of the site for cost savings.
• The new rendering and design work would be unveiled as part of an online open house in
November of 2022. The online open house would include curated pages on various topics,
including sustainability, as well as an interactive chart for users to see how the wastewater
treatment process worked. The public would be invited to give feedback on the project as part
of the online open house, which would be open for an extended period of time starting in early
November.
• The process leading up to the current day was progressive. The City had hired EPCOR to do
preliminary services. Some P3s were not hired until the design was finished and built, but the
City was working collaboratively with EPCOR. The process was growing close stage in
between the 60 percent design phase and the last task force step.
• Many things were happening in tandem, including cost development, permitting with the
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and advancing through the Water
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA).
• EPCOR had taken the lead on navigating the WIFIA process, which had been
successfully advancing.
• The City was currently in negotiations with EPCOR on a Project Agreement(PA). Financial
close would happen after the go/no-go decision in an after-project agreement.
• Property acquisition was being worked on.
• The Council had the opportunity to do an off ramp at this meeting, the November meeting or
the December 6th meeting. If the relationship with EPCOR was severed, whether for
convenience or cause, the City would own the design rights up to that point as well as all the
different materials provided by EPCOR. The Council would then have to look at other options.
• Staff recommended the City move forward with EPCOR and continue to develop costs. There
was more to be done and things looked promising, but they had yet to finalize numbers.
• Construction would begin in the summer of 2023 and would take about three years total.
City Council Special Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 7
September 27, 2022
• EPCOR was working hard and fast to refine cost numbers by November. Currently, the design
build was estimated at $182.3 million. Operations and Maintenance (O&M)were estimated at
$2.9 million annually, an increase from the previously estimated $2.5 million.
• Costs had increased due to commodities, inflation, and interest rate increases, as well as
supply chain complications, among other issues.
• Ratepayers could expect an increase of 3.9 percent to make the project work. Upgrading the
existing plant and building a new plant both had targeted 3.9 percent increase.
• The project had a robust website with an extensive Frequently Asked Questions section and
users could sign up to get updates.
• Staff would like the Council to give feedback on a project which would irrigate Foothills Park
using reclaimed water from the new plant. The project would involve running purple irrigation
pipe along Foothills Road and connecting to the existing system.
• The total cost was $750,000, or$2.1 million when financed.
• The City could forego the project completely or complete the upgrades necessary at the
plant to complete the project at a later date. Upgrades at the plant would cost an estimated
$500,000, or$1.4 million when financed.
Lee Ward, EPCOR Senior Manager, resumed the presentation with a history of EPCOR and
additional comments as follows:
• EPCOR was a utility operator in the United States and Canada which ran about 40
wastewater treatment plants.
• Operations was a large part of EPCOR. The company was not a contractor and did not
design or build but brought in partners who designed and built.
• EPCOR had partnered with a great team for the Lake Oswego Project, including
infrastructure builder AECON, local contractor, Filanc, and the design firm Wood.
• P3s were complicated and included many different aspects from design and construction
to finance and O&M. EPCOR had put together a good team.
• The proposed treatment process was based on a lot of existing technologies which were not
quite cutting edge because EPCOR wanted to be sure the technology brought to the project
was tried and true.
• There were some nuances that enabled EPCOR to build on a smaller site and add a tertiary
level of treatment versus the current two-level treatment process.
• The first step of the process would screen out plastics and other items from the influent
collected from Portland and Lake Oswego, and then remove grit from the screen influent to
protect the main treatment system.
• The second treatment was the AquaNereda, `secret sauce' treatment. The difference with
AquaNereda was the sludge type: how the sludge grew and matured, and the level of
treatment the sludge was able to do inside the basin.
• Once through AquaNereda process, waste would go through a tertiary filtration to ensure
the plant suspended solids and phosphorus levels, which helped in storm flow situations.
The tertiary filtration system would filter out any deleterious materials.
• After the tertiary filtration, liquids would be treated with a UV system, a change from the
current chemical process using chlorine, before being discharged to the Willamette River.
• Solid wastes would be separated out through the AquaNereda process to ancillary basins,
thickened, and then pumped into trucks for transport to the Columbia Wastewater treatment
plant and eventual dispersion onto farmers' fields.
• The process was exciting. To place the plant on six acres was a challenge and only a few
options would work.
City Council Special Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 7
September 27, 2022
• EPCOR had gone on a field trip to get a first-hand look at the results and operations of an
AquaNereda plant and were impressed by what they saw.
• Resiliency and reliability were an important part of the project; contract and insurance talks
had included discussions about the seismically active area. The project would be built to a
Category 4.
• The project had to comply with certain conditions associated with its location on a flood
plain. The plant was designed to comply with the RFP stipulations that the main treatment
units be built to withstand a 1 in 100-year flood and the main electrical systems be built to
withstand a 1 in 500-year flood.
• EPCOR had met with the Assisted Sustainability Network, Oregon Energy Trust, among
others, to work sustainability and environmental benefits into the project. Solar panels were
included in the current design and budget, and there was the possibility of reusing the facility
water on site and recirculating water back into the plant, saving on potable water.
• The plant was designed to treat very high wet weather flows of up to 53 million gallons per
day. Redundancy and backup systems were being built into the plant to ensure it could
withstand failures without interruption in service. The team was looking at standby power
and building a Genset into the design. An emergency bankside outfall for long period wet
weather flows was also included.
Jill Jamieson, President of Illuminati Infrastructure Advisors, continued the presentation
with a review of the process, with comments noted as follows:
• The process was now in the Preliminary Services period and there was an opportunity to off-
ramp at any time. Preliminary Services was designed to give the Council an objective
moment at the end of the phase to make an informed decision at the end of the about
whether to proceed or not to proceed.
• EPCOR had done a great job advancing the project through design stages, as well as
through the permitting front with cost information, financial structuring, WIFIA applications,
O&M plans, and commissioning and decommissioning plants.
• There was a lot of information developed in the preliminary services phase, but they were
not yet at the end of the phase because there was no full visibility into pricing, therefore
there was no recommendation in terms of a go/no-go decision.
• The preliminary service period was financed by EPCOR, so the City was not out of pocket to
them, though it was out of pocket for advisors to the project including Carollo, Illuminati, and
others.
• If the City proceeded with the process, costs that EPCOR had incurred would be rolled into
the availability payments which would start in the future once the system was up and
running.
• If the City proceeded with the project after the go/no-go decision, the project would advance
to the Project Agreement (PA) phase which covered the next 30-year period.
• In the PA phase, EPCOR would finalize designs, finish construction, and then begin
operations. The City would begin payments upon operational readiness of the facility, so
there were many years left before payments would being.
• The Council was approaching the point where it would be able to make an informed decision
about whether or not to proceed and the process had worked as originally designed.
• The study session on November 15' would include information about pricing. Even though
full visibility was not yet available, there had been some inflationary adjustments and prices
and interest rates had increased.
• Illuminati wanted to be sure the City was getting a competitive price for the project, which
was what the company would be looking at going forward.
City Council Special Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 7
September 27, 2022
• Should the City decide the project was not in the best interest of the people of Lake Oswego
or Portland, that was its right. The project could be terminated for a number of reasons,
including exceedance of affordability thresholds or convenience. The reason for termination
would determine how high EPCOR's compensation would be. The compensation would then
be split between Portland and Lake Oswego, so both parties would need to have
discussions.
• Terminating the project would leave the City with many options. The process could be
rebooted, the City could move forward with design/build, design/build/operate, or the
existing Tyron Creek facility could be refurbished. Options would be presented to the
Council after the off-ramp decision was made.
• The go/no-go decision should be based upon the merits of the project presented, not the
myriad of options available if the City decided to offramp.
• There would be a comparative assessment to determine whether the project was a good
deal for the City and rate payers, but it would be impossible, for practical purposes, to go
through 500 different contracting options. The company would provide the City with expert
judgement and opinion on whether or not it was a good deal, but next steps would have to
be separate.
• The process was designed from day one to minimize risk and allow the opportunity to make
a fully informed decision. The process had been painstaking, and a lot of detailed
information was coming to the Council fairly regularly to allow the Council to make the best
decision for the people of Lake Oswego.
• The Council could opt out of the project at any point. Even after moving forward with the P3
contract, the City would have the right to terminate for convenience or other reasons. Opting
out of the project would cost money, but the Council should make an informed and sober
decision about the next 30 years.
• Significant transfer of pricing risks was with EPCOR both during the Preliminary Services
phase and the PA. EPCOR owned the cost right now in terms of cost overrun. The company
had given the City a firm cost and firm price for services. From Illuminati's perspective,
EPCOR had been a very reasonable partner in that regard.
• The City was not transferring all risk to EPCOR in order to optimize risk allocation and
assign risk to the party best positioned to manage it. EPCOR was not in a good position
to manage all the risk and would not be able to handle macroeconomic shifts or currency
and interest rate issues any better than the City could, so some of the risk was shared.
• The Project Agreement (PA) ran through many different issues, which was why it was so
thick. Illuminati was responsible with getting the Council up to speed on the provisions of
the PA and what sort of liabilities or contingent liabilities belonged to the city.
• As an observer to the process as well as a participant, what she had seen thus far had given
her great hope and confidence in the ability to move the project forward.
• EPCOR was a world-class firm and it had worked collaboratively with its partners AECON
and Filanc for the best outcome. There were elements, including some of the pricing,
outside everyone's control.
Mayor Buck thanked the team and recognized the work of Mr. Hooper and the City Staff as well
as the other partners for the work they had been doing over a long period of time. The City of
Portland had been a great partner in the current facility and throughout the process, and he
appreciated the work going into the next phase. Council supported the ratepayers in Lake
Oswego and Portland who would be paying for the new facility. In that regard, the partnership
and the effort only took the project so far because at the end of the day there were real rates
being paid by real people who expected the City Council to seek the best deal possible on their
City Council Special Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 7
September 27, 2022
behalf. The Council was very positive about many aspects of the project, such as the
technology, sustainability, energy efficiency, and its potential as a beneficial alternative to
refurbishing the current plant. However, the Council was absolutely concerned about the price
increase, which was unacceptable. The Council was growing weary of the continual blaming of
the untoward price increases on the pandemic bogeyman or other externalities that it was
expected to rollover and accept as the truth, because it knew better. Conditions were changing
but the environment was not as dire as EPCOR would like the Council to think. The Council was
coming in with eyes wide open and hoping for the best, but the deck was in EPCOR's hand. The
continued good partnership the project was built on should be manifested in transparent
numbers so the Council would feel good about it as it came to the go/no-go decision. Mayor
Buck shared the positive sentiments expressed by Jill Jamieson, but the Council was really
there for the ratepayers and wanted to ensure the project was a great deal for the people of
Lake Oswego and their neighbors in Portland.
Councilor Manz commented that the Mayor had expressed most of her thoughts. Councilors
often heard from ratepayers about what they were paying for various services and asked when
the lowest bond drop-off would be. City Manager Bennett replied the finance director was not
present and wanted to be sure to get the Councilor an accurate response so would follow up
with numbers later.
Councilor Manz stated the City had a fiduciary responsibility to the ratepayers and people were
weary. EPCOR would make an excellent partner, and the product was very exciting. She hoped
to get to the point of transparency where the Council would feel good about going to the
ratepayers with the product as a positive benefit for future generations and residents of the City.
Mr. Hooper stated he was 95 percent sure the estimated drop off for the lowest bond was 13
years from now in Fiscal year 2034/35.
Councilor Wendland thanked the team for the update and agreed with the Mayor's comments
about pricing and rates. The decision also had to do with functionality and dependability
because the sewer system should not fail and performance should not be compromised. When
the system went in, the City should ensure it worked without any pause and was fully
operational all the time. When was pricing expected from EPCOR? The Council and their
partners in Portland should have more than 24 hours to make a decision and needed realistic
expectations on timeframes since the final decision was expected in December. If a decision
could not be made with good information, a decision would have to be made later. Councilor
Wendland asked if there was an expectation of when the Council would have finite numbers.
Lee Ward replied that EPCOR's target date for submitting numbers to the Council was October
27th, 2022. A decision had been made at the 11th hour to shift the site in order to save a
substantial sum of money, however the shift impacted influent and effluent piping, and
stormwater drainage, among other things. A design meeting had been held the previous week
to finalize some of those issues and EPCOR had come back to the City this week to clarify
stormwater drainage. The shift was now in hand and being worked through quickly. EPCOR
was getting quotes back now for various parts of the plant not impacted by the design change.
The company promised the Council it would have updated numbers on capital, operations, and
the 30-year repair/replacement plan to the Council by October 27th
Councilor Wendland noted economic conditions had changed in the last 60 to 90 days and the
local community was savvy and tied to the financial markets and building, development,
construction. Councilor Wendland inquired whether or not the company was starting to get
City Council Special Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 7
September 27, 2022
more favorable and realistic numbers from the marketplace. Lee Ward agreed prices had
calmed down, though some items were offering more favorable prices while other prices were
not budging. Lumber prices had come down but stainless-steel prices had increased. Plastic
prices had risen meteorically but were starting to come back down to earth a little bit. There
were still outstanding supply chain issues which delayed some items. An AECON rep had noted
earlier today there were still some contractors or vendors who would not give more than a one-
day quote. The company hoped the news of easing prices would translate to lower costs, but it
could not promise that was true across the board.
Councilor Wendland, who had attended early, pre-pandemic meetings on the project,
appreciated the team's hard work. He also thanked the City of Portland for its partnership and
noted the process had been very positive and encouraging. Lee Ward noted EPCOR was
heavily invested and was trying to do everything it could to make the project a go. The project
was important to their entire team as well.
Councilor Wendland replied the City knew EPCOR would have the very best pricing possible
and the City was counting on that.
Mayor Buck thanked everyone for their time and said the Council looked forward to hearing
back from the team shortly.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The primary purpose of Ordinance 2831, Residential Demolition Tax was to raise revenue for
parks maintenance. It is a general tax—not a system development charge under ORS 223.297—
.314 or a construction excise tax under ORS 320.195. Section 3 of Ordinance 2831 is a three-
year sunset requirement (expires January 2, 2023).
The $15,000 tax applies to demolitions of residential structures, including single-family homes
and duplexes. Demolitions of dangerous/condemned buildings and demolitions for the purpose
of developing multifamily affordable housing are exempt. The rate was designed to meet the
Parks Department goal of raising $400,000 annually. As of September 2022, the tax, effective
Jan. 2, 2020, had raised $1,230,000. Thus, the average annual amount raised is on-track with
the original estimate.
The tax is reduced by $5,000 for projects that utilize a certified deconstruction contractor
(manual deconstruction) as an alternative to mechanical demolition. Two builders in the past
three years have taken advantage of the credit. Recently, the definition of demolition was
amended to include major remodels where more than 50% of a dwelling's exterior walls or
foundation are removed (Ordinance 2894). This change has the potential to increase the
number of demolition permits.
At the City Council's October 18, 2022 study session, the Council provided the following
direction for staff to prepare an ordinance:
1. Remove the sunset on Ordinance 2831. (There was not a consensus for establishing a
new sunset.)
2. Replace the existing tax reduction for manual deconstruction (deconstruction) projects
with a full tax exemption, to encourage resource conservation.
3. Research the effect of requiring deconstruction for older houses (1940s or earlier), to
encourage reuse of valuable building materials that are no longer produced.
When the tax ordinance was adopted in 2019, the Council received testimony in opposition
from the Home Builders Association of Metro Portland (HBA). Staff has reached out to the HBA
and understands that they are tracking this policy and are concerned about its effects on
housing costs. The HBA recommended demolitions for development of middle housing be
exempt. They also suggested the City exempt moderate-income housing from the tax, defined
as housing that is affordable to those earning 120 percent or less of area median income, in
place of the existing criteria (80 percent or less of area median income).
During the October 18 study session, Council did not reach consensus on whether to exempt
demolitions for middle housing. Council noted that middle housing is not necessarily affordable
to people with low incomes, though it provides other public benefits compared to single-family
detached housing, including reduced carbon footprint and more efficient delivery of urban
Respect. Excellence. Trust. Service.

services such as utilities and transit. While it is unclear how much the tax might be a barrier to
middle housing development, it was noted that the cost of a tax can be spread out over more
dwelling units in a middle housing development as compared to single-family development. The
City Manager also noted that an exemption dependent upon later construction of middle
housing would add complexity to the permit process, requiring staff time for administration and
enforcement.
Council has not previously discussed changing the affordability criteria as suggested by the HBA.
If Council were interested in considering that policy change, staff recommends taking it up as
part of the City's work toward implementing House Bill 2003 (Housing Production Strategy).
Included as part of Ordinance 2916 (Attachment 1), staff is proposing an amendment to the
demolition tax that would exempt all types of housing that meet the City's established
affordability criteria, as defined in the SDC exemption (LOC 39.06.105(5)(a)(ii)). The proposed
ordinance exempts any type of housing that meets these criteria, instead of limiting the
exemption to developments of multifamily rental housing as is currently the case. The change
would make the demolition tax exemption consistent with the system development charge fee
exemption in Ordinance 2885.
The Sustainability Advisory Board (SAB) and Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) reviewed
the demolition tax and provided their recommendation in Attachment 2. Among other
recommendations, SAB and HRAB suggested deconstruction of older houses (built in 1940 or
earlier) become mandatory, to reduce the environmental impact of demolitions and to
encourage reuse of valuable building materials that are no longer produced. Accordingly, and
pursuant to City Council's direction during the October 18 study session on the tax, staff
researched the number of demolitions approved for structures that were built in 1940 or
earlier. See Discussion, below.
BACKGROUND
In 2016, the City Council amended the City's local Building Code (LOC 45.12.100) to require a
14-day waiting period for all residential demolitions, with notice of the demolition mailed to
adjacent property owners and posted on the site (Ordinance 2727). The City also requires
certification and abatement of asbestos and lead-based paint as part of the demolition process.
In 2018, the City Council adopted System Development Charge (SDC) financial incentives for the
development of affordable housing and measures to encourage the retention of existing
housing. These measures included fee waivers for accessory dwelling units and affordable
housing (Ordinance 2810), and a streamlined land use permit process for ADUs (Ordinance
2784).
In 2019, the City Council adopted the residential demolition tax with a 3-year sunset provision.'
Unless the sunset is removed or modified, Ordinance 2831 expires on January 2, 2023.
1 Lake Oswego is the only Oregon local government with a demolition tax.The City of Portland considered but
abandoned a similar tax proposal in 2018.

Page 4
In 2022, the City Council amended the SDC financial incentives for affordable housing to include
more types of income-targeted housing (not limited to multifamily rental housing), including
for-sale homes (Ordinance 2885).
On October 18, 2022, the City Council held a study session on the demolition tax and provided
direction for preparing proposed Ordinance 2916.
DISCUSSION
The existing demolition tax enacted with Ordinance 2831 (Lake Oswego Code Article 24.06)
applies to demolitions of residential structures, as follows:
1. A tax of$15,000 per demolition is levied at the time of permit issuance.
2. A $5,000 tax reduction or credit is provided for projects that use a City of Portland
Certified Deconstruction Contractor as an alternative to mechanical demolition.
3. Demolitions of structures that are removed for development of affordable housing, or
where the City declares the structure unsafe/condemns it, are exempt from the tax.
4. The tax revenue is dedicated to parks maintenance. It is general tax, not an SDC or a
construction excise tax.
When the existing tax was approved in late 2019, revenue was projected based on permitting
activity over the previous five years, which had averaged approximately 30 demolitions per
year. This assumed the economy remained strong. By setting the rate at $15,000, the tax was to
meet the Parks Department's annual goal of$400,000 in revenue, or approximately 10%-15% of
the Department's maintenance budget2. To date, the tax has exceeded this goal, as follows:

Deconstruction Incentive
The City Council adopted the deconstruction tax incentive because of the environmental
benefits of reusing building materials instead of disposing of them in the landfill or recycling,
consistent with the City's sustainability goals. When the City was first considering the
demolition tax and deconstruction incentive, staff had researched Portland's deconstruction
program, which at the time provided a good model for the proposed incentive3, even though
Portland requires deconstruction for older houses. In 2016, Portland was the first city in the
country to require deconstruction, as opposed to mechanical demolition. At first, they required
deconstruction for removal of any designated historic landmark and homes built in 1916 or
earlier, but in 2019, Portland amended its policy and changed the cutoff date to 1940 or earlier.
Staff asked SAB and HRAB to make recommendations for City Council consideration, which are
provided in Attachment 2. The advisory boards jointly recommend making deconstruction
mandatory for older houses undergoing demolition. Staff researched Portland's program in July
2022. At that time, Sustainability Manager Amanda Watson contacted program manager Shawn
Wood who reported that certified deconstruction contractors have additional capacity to take
on more projects. Mr. Wood also indicated the market for salvaged materials was good. Staff
can confirm that with deconstruction contractors and salvage companies.
Based on Council's direction at the October 18 study session on the tax, staff researched the
number of demolition applications for structures that were built in 1940 or earlier using
Metro's Regional Land Information System and the City's GIS. Although the data are
incomplete, we were able to identify "year built" for 90 out of 91 demolition permits applied
for during 2020 through September 2022. A total of 30 out of 90 of those houses were built in
or before 1940. Previously, it was reported there were no deconstruction projects that utilized
the deconstruction incentive; in fact, there were two, both in 2021. One house was originally
built in 1960, and the other in 1935. See Attachment 3.
IMPACTS AND ALTERNATIVES
The demolition tax adds to the cost of housing production and disproportionately impacts
lower-value properties because the tax is a flat amount (not tied to the value of the demolished
structure). The tax also targets neighborhoods that are redeveloping rather than the city as a
whole, which some residents may view as unfair because the tax is used for parks maintenance
citywide.
Alternatives to removing the sunset on the demolition tax include allocating additional general
funds to Parks, adopting a park utility fee, or asking voters to approve a tax levy to help pay for
maintenance of new parkland that may be acquired and facilities constructed under the 2019
Parks and Open Spaces Bond.
3 The stated purpose of Portland's deconstruction ordinance is to"maximize salvage of building materials for
reuse, reduce carbon emissions and landfill waste,and to minimize the adverse impacts associated with building
removal."

FISCAL IMPACT
Removing the sunset on the residential demolition tax would have a positive impact on revenue
for parks maintenance. Currently, the tax raises approximately $400,000 per year. By
exempting houses built in 1940 or earlier, Council should plan for a reduction in tax revenue by
as much as 30%; though the effect of the exemption may decrease over time as fewer older
houses are demolished.

Conduct a public hearing and adopt Ordinance 2916.

Exhibit A —Ord. 2916
24.06.010 Purpose.
The demolition of residential structures in the City of Lake Oswego has contributed to the waste stream
through disposal of building materials. Demolition has also reduced the diversity of housing stock
and decreased the availability of affordable housing within the City. Subsequent redevelopment has
contributed to increases in housing prices that make it more difficult to provide affordable housing. The
permit fees relating to building demolitions cover the administrative costs of the regulatory program, but
do not address other impacts of demolition of residential structures. The tax imposed under this article is
not for the purpose of recovering administrative costs and is not regulatory in any manner. The tax is
strictly for revenue purposes, to provide funding to maintain City park properties and facilities. The tax
shall be in addition to any regulatory demolition permit fees established from time to time by the City
Council and all other applicable regulatory fees and charges.

E�.r MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Historic Resources Advisory Board
Sustainability Advisory Board
SUBJECT: Demolition Tax Renewal
DATE: August 31, 2022
On August 10, 2022, members of the Historic Resources Advisory Board and Sustainability
Advisory Board met jointly to discuss the renewal of the City of Lake Oswego's Demolition Tax
and corresponding deconstruction incentive. City staff solicited Board members' input on
potential updates that might be needed to the tax, including changes that would encourage
more demolition projects to use deconstruction.
Incentivizing deconstruction aligns with the City's sustainability and climate action goals
because deconstruction enables the reuse of building materials that would otherwise be placed
in landfills and reduce the overall carbon footprint of new construction. The Sustainability
Advisory Board and HRAB members have encouraged City staff to evaluate policy options to
require deconstruction of older homes, following City of Portland's model.
The group also discussed whether the City should consider additional incentives connected to
the demolition tax that would allow volunteers permission from the property owner to access
older properties to document older homes and add to the existing database before they are
demolished. In response to the increasing number of older homes being demolished
throughout the City, the Historic Resources Advisory Board worked with Planning, Building, and
Library staff to develop an administrative procedure for documenting homes built more than 45
years ago. Documenting these older homes can contribute to the City's architectural history.
In light of the City's sustainability and historic preservation goals, we recommend that Council
consider the following actions in relation to the Demolition Tax:
• Follow Portland's model to require deconstruction of any homes built prior to 1940.
• Raise the demolition tax to $25,000 and allocate some of the revenue to the Historic
Preservation Grant Program.
Respect. Excellence. Trust. Service.

Page 2 of 2
• Raise the incentive for a deconstruction permit from $5,000 to $10,000. Information on
the differences in cost between demolition and deconstruction could be used to
determine the appropriate amount of the incentive relative to the tax.
• Direct staff to investigate why the deconstruction incentive has not been utilized, and
what strategies could help overcome barriers that might exist. For example:
a. If the permit process is a barrier, streamline the permit application process for
deconstruction permits. Possibly, create an expedited process for deconstruction
permit applications.
b. If the incentive is not being used because residents are not aware of it, educate
the public and discuss the deconstruction option in greater detail when
homeowners apply for a permit. Perhaps develop a brochure that describes the
process. Conduct additional education outreach to contractors, deconstruction
contractors and property owners with homes that are 40 years old or older.
• Integrate more sustainable construction incentives to support Sustainability and Climate
Action Plan goals. Allow for more demolition permit cost reduction (or other incentives,
potentially funded by demolition tax revenue) if the property owner integrates more
sustainable practices at the building phase that lower the carbon footprint of buildings.
• Extend waiting period for demolition permits issued for homes that are greater than 40
years old from 14 days to 30 days. This would allow more time for city volunteers to
document the property and provide more opportunities to consider deconstruction.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Members of the Historic Resources Advisory Board and Sustainability Advisory Board

Demolition Tax
Sections:

24.06.020 Definitions.
24.06.030 Demolition Tax Imposed; Use of Revenue.
24.06.040 Exemptions.

24.06.060 Authority of City Manager.
24.06.070 Failure to Comply with Requirements of Exemption for Affordable Housing
or Reduction Exemption for Deconstruction.
24.06.080 Violations.
Editor's Note: Section 3 of Ordinance 2831 provides, "The provisions of this ordinance shall be null,
be repealed, on and after January 2, 2023."
24.06.010 Purpose.
The demolition of residential structures in the City of Lake Oswego has contributed to the waste stream
through disposal of building materials. Demolition has also reduced the diversity of housing stock
and decreased the availability of affordable housing within the City. Subsequent redevelopment has
contributed to increases in housing prices that make it more difficult to provide affordable housing. The
permit fees relating to building demolitions cover the administrative costs of the regulatory program, but
do not address other impacts of demolition of residential structures. The tax imposed under this article is
not for the purpose of recovering administrative costs and is not regulatory in any manner. The tax is
strictly for revenue purposes, to provide funding to maintain City park properties and facilities. The tax
shall be in addition to any regulatory demolition permit fees established from time to time by the City
Council and all other applicable regulatory fees and charges.
24.06.020 Definitions.
As used in this article, unless the context requires otherwise:
Certified Deconstruction Contractor means a contractor licensed with the Oregon Construction
Contractors Board (CCB)that has successfully completed the deconstruction training and certification
program offered by the Building Material Reuse Association, or other program recognized by the City
Manager, and that has been approved as a credentialed Certified Deconstruction Contractor by the
Director of the City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, or the Director's designee. A firm
will be considered certified if at least one person currently employed by the firm is certified.
City Manager means the person holding the position of City Manager of the City of Lake Oswego, or that
person's designee.
Attachment 4
Page 1 of 8
Deconstruction means the systematic dismantling of a structure, typically in the opposite order from which
it was constructed, in order to maximize the salvage of materials for reuse, in preference over salvaging
materials for recycling, energy recovery or disposal in a landfill.
Demolition or Demolish means as defined in LOC 45.12.100(1)(b).
Demolition Permit means the permit required under LOC 45.02.200.
Residential Structure means a single-family dwelling or a duplex, as defined in LOC 50.10.003.2.
Reuse means the utilization of a product or material that was previously installed for the same or similar
function to extend its life cycle. Materials salvageable for reuse include but are not limited to cabinets,
doors, hardware, fixtures, flooring, siding, and framing lumber.

BACKGROUND
A Study Session was held before the Council on November 1, 2022. Measure 109 legalized and
regulated the manufacture, sale, and administration of psilocybin. The Oregon Health
Authority will begin taking license applications on January 2, 2023 unless the City adopts an
ordinance banning psilocybin-related businesses. See November 1, 2022 Study Session Council
Report on Psilocybin.
DISCUSSION
Banning Ordinance
Adopting a banning ordinance, prohibiting psilocybin manufacturing and service centers, would
prohibit the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) from issuing licenses for such businesses until after
January 2 after the next statewide general election, to wit: Jan. 2, 2025. If the voters repealed
the banning ordinance, then OHA would issue licenses.
At the November 1, 2022 Council meeting, the Council directed staff to:
• Submit a banning ordinance for Council consideration at its November 15 meeting.
• Not submit at this time a Resolution to refer the banning ordinance to the voters at the
November 5, 2024 election. Staff will bring the Resolution back before the Council
when it is the appropriate time to file the measure with the county clerks (late-Spring
2024).
Time, Place and Manner Restrictions
An ordinance establishing greater (but reasonable) time, place and manner restrictions than
provided by statute [service centers must be not be closer than 500 ft. from schools, not in
exclusively residential zones (ORS 475A.305, -310] could be developed during the period of the
banning ordinance, to be effective if either the voters repealed the banning ordinance at the
next statewide election or the Council elected to repeal the banning ordinance once a time,
place and manner ordinance was enacted.
OHA License Requirements
Some councilors asked questions relating to the OHA eligibility requirements for psilocybin
manufacturing and service centers. OHA has existing rules and has released proposed rules
(Attachment 3), with adoption of proposed rules in some form on or prior to December 30,
2022. As a thumbnail of the eligibility rules:
General License Requirements
• Two-year residency requirements are key until January of 2025. (OAR 333-333-4050)
• GED/high school equivalent required. (ORS 475A.325)
• Fingerprints and criminal background check. (OAR 333-333-4100)
• Successful completion of the course and online exam (75% correct); can re-take as many
times as needed to pass. (OAR 333-333-3200)
Respect. Excellence. Trust. Service.
503-635-0215 380 A AVENUE PO BOX 369 LAKE OSWEGO,OR 97034 WWW.LAKEOSWEGO.CITY
Page 3
• License fee (depends on the license applied for: Facilitator is $2,000; Service,
Manufacturer and Laboratory are all $10,000 each. Reduced fees 50%for non-profits,
military, SSI recipients, Oregon Health Plan enrollees, and those on food stamps. (OAR
333-333-4060)
Services Center Facilitators
• Supportive touch allowed at client's request (limited to hugging or placing hand on
client's hand or shoulder); no romantic relationships, sexual contact or intimacy with
clients or during sessions or for 1 year after last treated. (OAR 333-333-5120)
• Mandatory reporter. (OAR 333-333-5120)
• Specifically calls out that the facilitator cannot engage in any conduct that requires
additional professional licensure to include not diagnosing or treating physical or mental
health conditions. Also, if facilitator holds a professional license in a different field,
facilitator shall not exercise the privileges of that license while providing psilocybin
services to clients. (OAR 333-333-5130)
Facilities Proposed:
• Onsite restrictions/requirements, nothing in terms of odor or anything else obnoxious
or noxious. Sounds more like a lab which OHA tests and monitors.
• Proximity requirements to schools, liquor stores, medical marijuana establishments and
licensed health care facilities. (OAR 333-333-4300)
• Submit a detailed, scaled floor plan of the building. (OAR 333-333-4000)
• Time limit on operations, i.e., 6am — 11:59pm. (OAR 333-333-4480)
• Requirements for extensive alarm and monitoring systems, daily log requirements.
(OAR 333-333-4600/4620/4630/4650/4600 for alarm and monitoring; OAR 333-333-
4400 for log)
• Storing product in locked safe. (OAR 333-333-4510)
• Store, manage and dispose of waste according to solid, hazardous waste and
wastewater requirements as required by ORS (OAR 333-333-8000)
RECOMMENDATION

consider preparation of an ordinance for time, manner and place restrictions for psilocybin
manufacturing and service centers, enact Ordinance 2903.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Measure 1091 legalized and regulated the manufacture, sale, and administration of psilocybin.
The OHA will begin taking license applications on January 2, 2023; the OHA has not published
on its website how long they expect review of applications to take and thus when licenses will
first be issued.
Cities may opt-out of licenses being issued for manufacturers and services centers within the
City. The optimum time for enacting a banning ordinance, if the Council so elects, is November,
15, 2022. If enacted, the ordinance banning psilocybin facilities must be referred to the City's
voters at the next statewide general election (November 5, 2024).2
The Council may consider enacting local time, place and manner restrictions beyond the
statutory prohibition of prohibiting service centers in zones that are exclusively for residential
use and within 500 ft. / 1000 ft. from public and private schools.
BACKGROUND
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound occurring in over 200 species of fungi.
Psilocybin is also listed as a Schedule I drug3 on the Controlled Substances Act. Psilocybin is
commonly referred to as "magic mushrooms" and is ingested orally alone or added to food or
beverage. Common side effects can range from nausea, vomiting and lack of coordination to
hallucinations, inability to discern fantasy from reality, and panic attacks. It has also been said
to bring about a general feeling of spiritual well-being.
Due to its antidepressant properties, psilocybin has recently been designated as a breakthrough
therapy by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be a viable treatment option for
managing drug-resistant depression. Clinical trials are still underway and FDA approval is not
expected for many years.4
Measure 1095, passed in November 2020, legalizes, regulates and taxes the manufacture, sale,
and administration of psilocybin for mental health purposes and directs the Oregon Health
Authority (OHA) to license and regulate psilocybin products and the provision of psilocybin
services. It was an initiative measure, led by the Oregon Psilocybin Society, and passed by the
voters by a state-wide margin of 55.7% in favor and 44.3% opposing. Clackamas County passed
the Measure with 52.4%of voters in favor and 47.6% opposed.'
1 Now codified in ORS 475A.
2 ORS 254.056 defines"general election" as the election held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in
November of each even-numbered year.
3 A Schedule I drug is one which has no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.
4 A thorough discussion of the medical uses and trials underway is available from the Scientific American Journal
authored by Mason Marks, assistant professor of law and member of the Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board.
S Now codified in ORS 475A.

DISCUSSION
Licensing and Manufacturing
The explanatory statement for Measure 109 reads in part:
Ballot Measure 109 directs the Oregon Health Authority to regulate the
manufacture, delivery, purchase, and consumption of psilocybin [. . .] at licensed
psilocybin service centers. A person would be allowed to purchase, possess,
consume, and experience the effects of psilocybin only at a licensed psilocybin
service center during a psilocybin administration session with a licensed psilocybin
service facilitator. The measure also directs the OHA to issue, renew, and revoke
licenses in compliance with the measure.
To be clear, persons are not able to purchase psilocybin to consume at home or at locations
other than at an OHA-licensed service center. A person seeking treatment with psilocybin
products would have to visit a an OHA-licensed service center (which cannot be a primary
residence) and be evaluated by a licensed service facilitator.' The session at the service center
would consist of several phases:
• a preparatory phase,
• an administration phase, where the psilocybin is administered,
• an observation phase, where the client is observed and experiences the effect of
psilocybin, and
• an integration session.
The service center can only offer products that were cultivated or produced by a licensed
psilocybin manufacturer.
The Oregon Health Authority regulates the licensing and manufacturing' of psilocybin.
Generally, a manufacturer's license requires an individual to:
• Be a resident of the state for two years prior to submitting an application;
cast in favor and 9,674 votes were cast in opposition to Measure 109. Lake Oswego is covered by precincts 151,
153, 155, 156, 158, 159 and 160.
'A licensed service facilitator would not necessarily be a medical professional as no prescription is needed for
psilocybin. However,a licensed service facilitator would have to be,among other things, at least 21 years of age, a
resident of Oregon for at least two years, have a high school diploma or equivalent,and complete and successfully
pass the appropriate training,education and exams required by OHA for licensing. ORS 475A.325.
s"Manufacture" means the manufacture, planting,cultivation,growing, harvesting, production, preparation,
propagation,compounding,conversion or processing of a psilocybin product,either directly or indirectly by
extraction from substances of natural origin,or independently by means of chemical synthesis,or by a
combination of extraction and chemical synthesis,and includes any packaging or repackaging of the psilocybin
product or labeling or relabeling of its container. ORS 475A.220(7).

• Be at least 21 years of age;
• Either own the facility being used for manufacturing or provide the owner's informed
consent;
• Renew its license on a yearly basis; and
• Test its psilocybin products manufactured.9
The OHA will begin taking license applications on January 2, 2023, and issuing licenses after that
date.
Local Opt-Out: Banning Ordinance and Voter Referral
The Council may adopt an ordinance10 banning:
• Licensed psilocybin product manufacturers;
• Licensed psilocybin service center operators; or
• Any combination of those entities.
In order to stay OHA issuance of licenses within cities, cities may adopt a banning ordinance.
The banning ordinance must be referred to the voters at the next statewide general election. A
number of other Oregon cities have already adopted banning ordinances and they are on this
November's ballot for voter approval or repeal.
If the Council elects to enact a banning ordinance, the optimum time is at its November 15
meeting: that is after the statewide general election on November 8, 2022, but the banning

ordinance's effective date would be before when OHA would begin taking license applications
on January 2, 202311. The Lake Oswego voters would then consider affirming or repealing the
banning ordinance on November 4, 2024. OHA may not issue a license until Jan. 2 following the
next statewide general election, to wit: January 2, 2025, assuming the ban is repealed by the
voters.
A resolution referring the banning ordinance to the voters could be adopted at the same time
as the ordinance, but it cannot be filed with the County Clerk until late-Spring 2024 closer to
the November 5, 2024 election.
If Council elects to not pursue a banning ordinance at this time, it can do so at a later time.
However, any facilities, operators, or manufacturers licensed prior to the effective date of the
banning ordinance would be allowed to continue doing business in the City. No new licenses
would be issued during the period of the effective date of the ordinance until January 2
following the next statewide general election (and voter repeal) after the banning ordinance is
adopted.
Taxes
A sales tax of 15% of the retail sales price for the product or service is imposed, with the money
deposited into an Oregon Psilocybin Account for the Psilocybin Control and Regulation Fund.
(Sec. 114, 126, 127). The money is used to enforce the provisions of ORS 475A, including
regulating psilocybin services and compensating the Oregon Psilocybin Advisory Board.
Local governments are prohibited from enacting their own taxes on the manufacture or sale of
psilocybin products. (Sec. 82).
Time, Place and Manner Restriction Ordinance
The Measure includes a minimum location restriction for service centers: they cannot be
located in areas zoned exclusively for residential use. (ORS 475A.305(1)(c)(B)). It must also be
located more than 1,000 feet of an existing (at the time of license) public elementary or
secondary school, or a private or parochial elementary or secondary school, except it may be
located no closer than 500 ft. if OHA determines that there is a physical or geographic barrier
capable of preventing children from traversing to the premises of the psilocybin service center.
[ORS 475A.305, .310, .315].
Cities may enact additional time, manner and place restrictions, which would be applicable to
new licensees. Lake Oswego does not currently have any specific time, place and manner
regulations adopted for psilocybin facilities. If the City wished to adopt additional time, manner
11 A copy of the banning ordinance would need to be provided to OHA prior to December 31, 2022.

and place restrictions, it should ban psilocybin facilities until the additional time, manner and
place restrictions are effective.12
ORS 475A.530 Local time, place and manner regulations. (1) For purposes of
this section, "reasonable regulations" includes:
(a) Reasonable conditions on the manner in which a psilocybin product
manufacturer that holds a license issued under ORS 475A.290 may manufacture
psilocybin products;
(b) Reasonable conditions on the manner in which a psilocybin service center
operator that holds a license issued under ORS 475A.305 may provide psilocybin
services;
(c) Reasonable limitations on the hours during which a premises for which a
license has been issued under ORS 475A.210 to 475A.722 may operate;
(d) Reasonable requirements related to the public's access to a premises for
which a license has been issued under ORS 475A.210 to 475A.722; and
(e) Reasonable limitations on where a premises for which a license may be
issued under ORS 475A.210 to 475A.722 may be located.
(2) Notwithstanding ORS 30.935, 215.253 (1) or 633.738, the governing body
of a city or county may adopt ordinances that impose reasonable regulations on
the operation of businesses located at premises for which a license has been
issued under ORS 475A.210 to 475A.722 if the premises are located in the area
subject to the jurisdiction of the city or county, except that the governing body
of a city or county may not adopt an ordinance that prohibits a premises for
which a license has been issued under ORS 475A.305 from being located within a
distance that is greater than 1,000 feet of another premises for which a license
has been issued under ORS 475A.305.
If the Council elects to enact a banning ordinance, the Council may also consider initiating the
time, place and manner ordinance, so that it would be ready for adoption and effective before
licenses would be issued (if the 2024 voters repealed the banning ordinance.) Thus, as the
Planning Department did for marijuana facilities, during the period of the ban, the development
of a time, place and manner ordinance— including public hearings by the Planning Commission
and City Council -- would occur prior to the November 5, 2024 election date but adoption of the
time, place and manner ordinance could be delayed until the Council's November 19, 2024
meeting, to ascertain whether the voters repealed the banning ordinance. If a time, place, and
manner ordinance is enacted on November 19, 2024, it would be effective for any licenses
issued starting January 2, 2025.

Informed Consent
(1)A facilitator must provide every client a copy of the following informed consent document
during the client's preparation session:
Introduction:
In the State of Oregon,psilocybin services include a preparation session, administration
session, and integration session. You should receive this informed consent form prior to
or during your preparation session. During the preparation session,your facilitator will
review and discuss this form with you. Please make sure you read and understand every
section because you must sign the form before the administration session begins. If you
do not understand any part of this document,please ask your facilitator for clarification
before signing.
I have been informed of and understand the following:
(Please initial each item below)
1. I have reviewed the Psilocybin Services Client Bill of Rights, my facilitator
has explained it to me, and I understand my rights as a client.
2. I understand that psilocybin services do not require medical diagnosis or
referral and that psilocybin services are not a medical or clinical treatment.
3. I understand that psilocybin has not been approved by the Food and Drug
Administration and the federal government currently classifies psilocybin as a
Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
Page 40 of 70
NOTE:The text in OAR 333-333-1010 tracks changes made to the Definitions rule adopted in May 2022.
The new text in this rule is underlined. Changes are not tracked for the remaining rules because all of
the text is new.
a. Federal law prohibits the manufacture, distribution, and possession of
psilocybin even in cities and states that have adopted laws to allow its
possession or use.
b. Despite its federal Schedule I status, research suggests that psilocybin is
very unlikely to be addictive. Additionally, research and other information
suggests that psilocybin may improve symptoms of depression, anxiety,
end of life distress, various forms of trauma, and problematic substance
use.
4. I understand that while existing research has shown promising results, the
risks, benefits, and drug interactions of psilocybin are not fully understood, and
individual results may vary.
5. I understand that some people have found psilocybin administration sessions
to be challenging or uncomfortable. Common potential side effects include nausea,
mild headache,fatigue, anxiety, confusion, increased blood pressure, elevated
heart rate,paranoia,perceptual changes, altered thought patterns, reduced
inhibitions, recovery of repressed memories and past traumas, and altered
perception of time and one's surroundings. If they occur, these side effects are
usually mild and temporary. Because the potential risks and benefits of psilocybin
administration are not fully understood, there may be unanticipated side effects.
6. I understand that if I am taking prescription medications or have a medical
condition or mental health condition, I should consider consulting with a medical
or clinical provider before participating in an administration session.
7. I understand that psilocybin is derived from fungi. If I have a known
mushroom allergy, I should consult with a medical professional before
participating in an administration session.
8. I understand that the risks of psilocybin during pregnancy and breastfeeding
are unknown.
9. I understand that facilitators may not use touch while providing psilocybin
services without my prior written consent. My facilitator and I have discussed

acceptable types of supportive touch and the requirement to provide prior written
consent prior to the start of my administration session.
10. I understand that facilitators may be mandatory reporters of abuse. If my
facilitator is a mandatory reporter, they have shared this information with me and
explained their legal obligations to report abuse.
11. I understand that facilitators have a duty to report misconduct that harms or
endangers a client to the Oregon Health Authority. If the misconduct presents an
immediate risk to health and safety,facilitators have a duty to contact emergency
services.
12. I agree to follow my agreed upon transportation plan. I understand that a
facilitator may contact emergency services if failure to follow my transportation
plan presents a risk to my safety or the safety of others.
13. I understand that being administered psilocybin is completely voluntary and I
may decide not to receive psilocybin at any time.
14. I understand that I have the right to update my client information form prior to
beginning an administration session and I have the right to receive a copy of my
client information form upon request.
15. I understand that de-identified data collected by my facilitator or service
center may be shared with people and institutions outside of the facilitator or
psilocybin service center for research and other purposes.
16. I understand data that may be used to identify me as a client will only be
shared to the extent permitted or required by law. Specifically, ORS 475A.450
allows disclosure in the following circumstances:
(1) When the client or a person authorized to act on behalf of the client gives
consent to the disclosure;
(2) When the client initiates legal action or makes a complaint against the
psilocybin service center operator, the psilocybin service facilitator, or the
employee;
(3) When the communication reveals the intent to commit a crime harmful to
the client or others;

(4) When the communication reveals that a minor may have been a victim of a
crime or physical, sexual or emotional abuse or neglect; or
(5) When responding to an inquiry by the Oregon Health Authority made
during the course of an investigation into the conduct of the psilocybin service
center operator, the psilocybin service facilitator, or the employee under ORS
475A.210 to 475A.722.
17. I understand that my facilitator may take short restroom breaks, up to
approximately 5 minutes, during my administration session.
18. I understand that for my own safety, leaving a psilocybin service center
during an administration session once it has begun is strongly discouraged. Doing
so could lead to safety and legal risks.
19. I understand and have been informed of the potential benefits, risks, and
complications of psilocybin services with my facilitator to the extent that they are
known.
20. My facilitator has shared locations of client restrooms and protocols for use
of restrooms during an administration session.
21. My facilitator has shared information regarding verification of license status
and process for making complaints to the Oregon Health Authority.
22. I have had the opportunity to ask questions regarding anything I may not
understand or that I believe should be made clear.
23. If participating in a group administration session, I understand that I will be
experiencing the effects of psilocybin in the presence of other clients who are also
experiencing the effects of psilocybin and may be reacting to the experience in a
different manner.
24. If consuming greater than 35 mg of psilocybin analyte during an
administration session, I acknowledge that clinical trials have not typically
administered doses of greater than 35 mg of psilocybin analyte. The risks and
benefits of consuming doses greater than 35 mg of psilocybin analyte are
unknown.
25. If consuming whole fungi during an administration session, I understand that
psilocybin content can vary between individual fruiting bodies.

26. I understand that a facilitator has a duty to call emergency services if
required and a client assumes responsibility for costs of emergency services.
27. I understand that I may be charged a cancellation fee if I cancel a scheduled
preparation, administration or integration session with less than 24 hours'notice.

ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL
Following this report on public outreach conducted, whether to direct staff to include an
increase in the Street Maintenance Fee by approximately 50% in order to increase the income
to the Street Fund, allowing for additional funding towards projects that improve pedestrian
safety, such as pathways and sidewalks.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Council goals over the past several years have continued to focus on funding more pathway
projects. After several study sessions on the matter, staff was directed to pursue an
approximately 50% increase in the Street Maintenance Fee as a way to improve the overall
Street Fund by nearly$1.5 million each year, allowing for additional funding to be available for
pathway projects.
Since the last study session in May 2022, staff conducted a thorough outreach effort to inform
the public of this pending proposal. The public education and outreach campaign included
general information of the proposed changes in the HelloLO, LO Down e-newsletter, utility bills,
and more. There was also targeted outreach to the largest business utility accounts and
business groups. This resulted in less than 25 calls and emails from the public. Of the 25 follow-
up calls and emails, roughly half were related to concerns about inflation and the timing of
raising rates. The other half were clarification questions, support for the projects that would be
as a result of the additional funding, and general questions about street maintenance. Given
the wide reach of the campaign and the limited response of concern, the proposed rate
appears acceptable to the public.
BACKGROUND
For the past two years, the Council has clearly indicated that providing more pathways or
sidewalks is a priority for the City. Particularly, the focus is on routes related or adjacent to
school areas.
2020 City Council Goal: Continue focus on pavement quality and pathways...
2021 City Council Goal: Increase funding for pedestrian facilities, beginning with safe
routes to school
2022 City Council Goal: Adopt a funding strategy for pedestrian safety capital projects
The Council held study session in September 2021 and May 2022, evaluating several options to
consider for increase funding. During the May 2022 meeting, Council by consensus indicated
that staff should continue with steps that would lead toward Council consideration of
increasing the Street Maintenance Fee (SMF) as the best option for creating an increased
source of funding for pathway infrastructure improvements as a sustainable, ongoing revenue
source. This funding alternative was instead of pursuing a General Obligation Bond, which
would have increased property taxes. At that meeting, staff advised that a public outreach
effort to educate the community of the proposed changes would be undertaken.

DISCUSSION
The proposed approximate 50% increase in monthly rates would create an additional $1.5
million per year for the Street Fund to be used for projects like pathways, sidewalks, and
pedestrian safety improvements. The rates would be as noted in the following table:

The proposed rates during outreach were based on estimates of how to achieve the additional
$1.5 million. For the final proposed rates, staff has calculated rates based on the
Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (CCI) for 20-City Average.
The Council's consideration of proposing an increase to the Street Maintenance Fee has been
shared with the public through a variety of outreach efforts, which has run from September
through November.
The objectives and goals of the SMF public outreach were:
• Inform and educate Lake Oswego residents and business owners of the proposed SMF
increase
• Explain the need for the proposed SMF rate increase (more than $94,000,000 in
unfunded Pathways Projects)
• Clearly outline the benefits for the proposed rate increase and the types of projects that
could be funded through the SMF increase
• Highlight the benefits of pedestrian safety improvements for accessible and safe
roadways for all
• Monitor community response
Staff created a project website communicating these changes, proposed project types that the
SMF could be directed to, and frequently asked questions. The project page was treated as the
landing page for all messages, highlight videos of information, and who to contact for more
information. This webpage and its subpages have been viewed 1,807 times.

Additionally, information has been shared through:
• HelloLO—September (two-page insert, Council Corner- Rapf) & October (half-page
article), mailed monthly to roughly 23,000 households and businesses
• LO Down —featured in three e-newsletters, roughly 14,000 subscribers
• Social Media — posting throughout the last two months, boosted for additional views
(greatest Facebook post reach was 4,957)
• NextDoor— posting throughout the last two months
• YouTube videos—four informational videos (also shared on social media, NextDoor, and
website)
• Utility Billing—October e-bill, reaching roughly 13,000 accounts
• Lake Oswego Review Article (9/26/22)
• Lake Oswego School District e-newsletter (The Current)— included on 11/4/22 &
11/11/22 editions
Business outreach specifically:
• Chamber Board Presentation
• Lake Grove Business Association Presentation
• Direct letter mailed to top 200 business utility accounts
o These business bills range from $31 to $18,000 per month, representing a wide
range of large and small businesses in the community
• Direct phone calls to the top 10 business utility accounts
• Chamber e-newsletter—included 11/8/22, & 11/15/22
Through these outreach efforts and the follow up 25 calls and emails that were received, the
overall response was neutral. The concerns raised were related to inflation and the timing of
raising rates.
For next steps of the public education, if Council votes to approve the rate increase in the 2023
Master Fees and Charges Resolution, staff recommends continuing the messaging of the
change in the spring in advance for the rate change going into effect July 1. Additionally, as
projects funded by the Street Maintenance Fee are underway, project sites will have signage
highlighting that the project is funded by the Street Maintenance Fee. This will increase
transparency on how dollars are being spent, as well as draw awareness to the projects
completed by these funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
An increase in the Street Maintenance Fee as proposed will increase the overall Street Fund by
approximately$1.5 million per year. Proposed rates would go into effect beginning July 1, 2023.
RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff to include an increase of the Street Maintenance Fee by approximately 50%within
the 2023 Master Fees and Charges Resolution for consideration and adoption at the December
6, 2022 City Council meeting.

2023 Master Fees and Charges Study Session
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Provide direction to staff in preparing material for a public hearing and adoption of fees and
charges at the December 6, 2022 council meeting.
BACKGROUND
For the benefit of the public as well as efficiency in administration, Lake Oswego maintains a
compilation of all fees charged by the city for a variety of services, such as utility services, usage
Respect. Excellence. Trust. Service.
503-635-0215 380 A AVENUE PO BOX 369 LAKE OSWEGO,OR 97034 WWW.LAKEOSWEGO.CITY

of fields and recreational classes, and building permits and plan inspections, to name a few. It
is published in a user-friendly booklet (available online), and the fees themselves are reviewed
by the city council and adopted by council resolution each fall for the following calendar year.
All fees go into effect on January 1, 2023 with the new calendar year, except for the utilities.
Those new fees for services go into effect as of July 1, 2023, the first day of the new fiscal year.
This provides staff sufficient time for public education and customer notification.
Increases in utility service fees often
generate the most interest and discussion. Table 1: Fee Increase Average%
The Master Fees & Charges booklet (see for a Typical Month hangs Increase
Attachment 1) begins, therefore, with Water $1.25 2.0

information for all utilities in one snapshot, Street Maintenance 5.59 50.9
including the monthly total fee increase a
typical customer is likely to experience. Total $11.47 _ 6.5
The city uses ten CCF of water and eight CCF for sewer when calculating a typical customer.
1 CCF is 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons. The actual consumption can vary greatly from customer
to customer.
Many fees charged by the city are set to recover either all or part of the costs to provide the
service, to remain affordable, and to be competitive with similar services in the city or
neighboring jurisdictions. Every year departments review their fees and modify them where
deemed necessary, and often modify them by a cost index.
Staff researched several cost indices on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) website. Portland
falls under the West Region B/C index (The Western Region CPI is broken down between group
A and B/C: cities with populations of greater than 2.5 million (A) or those with less (B/C). The
indices are shown below as a rolling one-year index from June 2021 to June 2022. For
construction cost index (CCI), the private Engineering News-Record indices are from October
2021 to October 2022:

Staff reported the indices last year, and they were comparable in the same order at 5.1%, 4.4%,
6.0%, 4.1%, 25.1%, 8.0%, and 6.2%, respectively. The Energy Prices Index is the largest change
and has increased largely due to the higher prices for gasoline.
When reviewing fees, several departments take guidance from the above indices or some
variation thereof. Water and sewer connection charges are proposed to change with the CCI,
as is the street maintenance fee, and all system development charges. Prior councils
established this policy and the attached Master Fees & Charges booklet reflects those changes.
The following discussion will highlight the major changes in each section of the booklet, but is
not intended to be a complete list. Instead, the Master Fees & Charges booklet is presented in
a 'track-changes' format so that all changes can easily be identified by the reader.
DISCUSSION
Utilities
In the utilities, capital projects' are usually the main cost driver and the reason for needed fee
increases. These fees can be used to pay for smaller capital projects and to pay the debt service
payments on the larger capital projects over time.
Water: The LO-Tigard Water Partnership project construction phase has been complete for a
few years and Tigard's portion of the assets were transferred at the end of the 2018 fiscal year.
Funding for the project was provided primarily through a bond issue for$77 million completed
in September 2013. The annual debt service payments on these bonds are roughly$5.8 million.
The water utility is scheduled to increase fees by two percent this coming fiscal year, similar to
the previous five years, to build its ability to pay for operations and for this ongoing debt
service. For an average water usage month, this will add a little over$1 to a typical monthly bill
for water (see Table 1 above).
Sewer: The City updated its sewer rate model to incorporate the latest cost estimates from
Portland for the Tryon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades. These projections were
presented to council in July 2020 by FCS group. The model called for annual increases to the
sewer rates of 3.9%for the next 15 years. This will add a little over$3 per month to a typical
Lake Oswego homeowner bill.
Stormwater: With continued needs for the stormwater utility, it is recommended to have the
same seven percent increase similar to the past years as outlined with the 2009 Clean Streams
Plan due to the amount of unfunded capital projects.2
Street Maintenance:The Pavement Condition Index is lower than desired. Existing policy calls
for an annual fee increase in the amount of the CCI (see Table 2 above), which is currently 5.7%.

Council also gave direction to increase the Street Maintenance Fee to incorporate an additional
$1.5 million for annual pathway funding. This increase equates to an additional 45.2%. The
total proposed fee increase is 50.9% or an additional $5.59 per month for a typical home owner
in Lake Oswego.
All proposed increases have been evenly applied to fixed and to variable portions of each fee. It
is the goal to structure the fixed and variable portion of a customer fee to align with the utility's
fixed and variable cost structure. The one caveat to this is adding a conservation element to
the rates. The cost and fee structure are lining up closely enough to provide a stable revenue
stream to cover fixed costs.
Building
Community Development Code enforcement charges are usually increased by the most recent
West Region CPI (B/C size class). This year the CPI is 8.5%. Staff is suggesting we cap the rate
increase to 6%. This keeps the 10-year average to less than 3% per year
Planning
The Planning Department similarly adjusts the majority of its fees by the most recent West
Region CPI (B/C size class). Similar to the code enforcement charges, staff is suggesting we
increase rates by 6%, not the CPI of 8.5%.
System Development Charges
Per established policy, system development charges (SDCs) are increased annually by the
percentage growth in the CCI. These fees are used for various capacity building parks and utility
capital projects.
CONCLUSION
A public hearing is scheduled for December 6, 2022, as part of the City Council's review and
adoption of fee changes. Major changes in assumptions in any of the utilities as a result of the
study session may lead to a modification of rate models and would have to be revisited at a
later time.

accommodate an ADU, provided that the ADU complies with all the requirements of the covenant
required by LOC 39.06.105(5) as amended by Ordinance 2810.
If within 10 years from the first use of the ADU as a dwelling unit,the requirements of this covenant

in the SDC amounts then due).
■ Processing fee$500
• Pursuant to and following the procedure set forth in LOC 39.06.105(5)(f)(iii), (iv), (v),the processing fee
and SDC amounts shall be a lien upon the Real Property,entered in the municipal lien docket,and are

classifications listed in the table,the listed classification which most closely matches the proposed
use,as determined by the City Manager, may be substituted.
b. The Building Department calculates the non-residential SDC Improvement Fee by:
i. Dividing the building space(square feet)for each non-residential use in the development by
the number of square feet per employee(from the guidelines in the Square Feet Per
Employee table),and
ii. Multiplying the result(from step 1) by the SDC rate Per New Employee($ 1,008 as of
January 1, 2022).Any proposed use which constitutes 10%or less of the total building space
should be considered an ancillary use and does not require a separate calculation; however,
the building space for such uses must be included in the total for other non-residential uses.
*Rates are based on Improvement Fee only(no Reimbursement Fee).

Appendix
If the development is a modification or expansion of an existing structure,or redevelopment of a property
from a previous use,the SDC amount is based on the net increase in the number of Dwelling Units and/or
employees,calculated as follows:
a. Calculate an SDC on the development as though the entire development was subject to the SDC;
b. Calculate an SDC on the existing development, before modification, expansion, or
redevelopment,as though the existing development was subject to the SDC;
c. Calculate the net SDC amount by subtracting the result of Step b from the result of Step a; if the
result is zero or less than zero, no SDC is due.

Parks and Recreation Systems Development Charge Fee Methodology
Residential Development
a. An applicant for a building permit should complete a Lake Oswego Parks System Development
Charges Application and SDC Calculation Worksheet indicating the type and number of new Dwelling
Units to be included in the project.
b. The Building Department enters the SDC rates per dwelling on the application form and calculates the
SDCs to be paid by the Applicant.
SDC Improvement Fee*
Type of Dwelling Unit per Dwelling Unit
Single Family Dwelling Unit $ 16,565
Multi-Family Dwelling Unit $ 9,214
II. Non-Residential Development
a. An applicant for a building permit should complete a Lake Oswego Parks System Development
Charges Application and SDC Calculation Worksheet indicating the type and number of square feet of
building space for each non-residential use to be included in the project. Guidelines for the number
of square feet required for each employee are included in the table on the following page for major
Standard Industry Classifications. Where a proposed use does not specifically match one of the
classifications listed in the table,the listed classification which most closely matches the proposed
use,as determined by the City Manager, may be substituted.
b. The Building Department calculates the non-residential SDC Improvement Fee by:
i. Dividing the building space(square feet)for each non-residential use in the development by
the number of square feet per employee(from the guidelines in the Square Feet Per
Employee table),and
ii. Multiplying the result(from step 1) by the SDC rate Per New Employee($ 1,008 as of
January 1, 2022).Any proposed use which constitutes 10%or less of the total building space
should be considered an ancillary use and does not require a separate calculation; however,
the building space for such uses must be included in the total for other non-residential uses.
*Rates are based on Improvement Fee only(no Reimbursement Fee).

Ill. Senior and Affordable Housing Definitions(Per Resolution 08-42):
a. "Congregate Housing" is defined as"multi-unit housing with self-contained apartments that contain
cooking facilities which support independent lifestyles for those that have life-function disabilities
due to age, medical,or mental condition,which do not require residential care or skilled nursing
services. Congregate housing provides varying levels of support services,such as meals, laundry,
housekeeping,transportation,and social, recreation,cultural and education activities. The full range
of services normally associated with residential care facility,are not provided in association with
congregate housing." (Section 50.02.005 Definitions,City Code)
Rate Provision: Charged at 50%of the Multi-Family residential rate.
b. "Residential Care Housing" is considered to be non-residential in nature and is defined as a facility
that houses and provides services for 6 or more persons who may have a range of physical and
mental health problems, including chronic and debilitating conditions requiring assistance with daily
activities. This term is synonymous with other terms such as"assisted living facilities"and "adult care
housing" used to describe housing which provides the range of services described below. Living units
within residential care housing do not have cooking facilities. A range of services is provided
including staff supervised meals, housekeeping and personal care medication supervision, recreation,
cultural,social activities and transportation. Residential care housing facilities may include housing
for persons needing intermediate care. These are persons who do not require around-the-clock
nursing, but who do need preventative care,therapies at levels less than continuous licensed nursing
care or observation. Intermediate care emphasizes personal,social and emotional/mental health
care, but involves the availability of 24 hour service with physicians and nurses in supervisory roles.
Skilled nursing services, including convalescent care, may be provided as an accessory and
subordinate use in conjunction with residential care facilities. (Section 50.02.005 Definitions,City
Code).
Rate Provision: Charged at 50%of the Non-Residential rate.

IV. Modification, Expansion,or Redevelopment
If the development is a modification or expansion of an existing structure, or redevelopment of a property
from a previous use,the SDC amount is based on the net increase in the number of Dwelling Units and/or
employees,calculated as follows:
a. Calculate an SDC on the development as though the entire development was subject to the SDC;
b. Calculate an SDC on the existing development, before modification,expansion,or
redevelopment, as though the existing development was subject to the SDC;
c. Calculate the net SDC amount by subtracting the result of Step b from the result of Step a; if the
result is zero or less than zero, no SDC is due.
