SUBJECT: House Bill 2003 Work Session #2 (PP 22-0005)
DATE: January 10, 2023 MEETING DATE: January 23, 2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & ACTION REQUESTED
This memo provides background on the Commission’s upcoming work session scheduled for
January 23, 2023, which will include a presentation from project consultants at MIG outlining
the requirements of House Bill 2003 (HB 2003) as related to updating the City’s Housing Needs
Analysis (HNA) and developing a Housing Production Strategy (HPS). The presentation will also
cover a proposed public involvement plan and include an update on the progress of the Housing
Production Strategy Task Force (Task Force).
The City is required to update its HNA by December 31, 2023, and to complete an HPS by
December 31, 2024. The City Council first prioritized this work as part of their 2022 goals and
initiatives, which included continuing the multi-year work plan to complete work on key housing
initiatives – including HB 2003 compliance.
The purpose of the January 23 work session is for the Commission to learn more about what is
required for compliance with House Bill 2003 and to provide guidance to staff on the proposed
public outreach strategy for preparing the HNA, the first draft of which the Planning
Commission will review at their work session on April 10.
BACKGROUND
House Bill 2003
HB 2003 was adopted during the same legislative session (2019) as House Bill 2001 (HB
2001), in order to help local jurisdictions meet the housing needs of residents throughout
the state (see Attachment A). The bill requires Oregon cities with over 10,000 residents to
analyze the future housing needs of their community through an HNA and to develop
strategies that promote the development of such needed housing through an HPS.

In November 2020, the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) adopted
implementing rules for HB 2003, which are contained in OAR 660-008-0045 through -0070.
These rules established criteria for compliance, including the components that are required
to be included within an HPS Report. For more information about these requirements,
including an overview of the required components of an HNA and HPS Report, please see the
meeting materials from Work Session #1 and Attachment B.
On June 21, 2022, the City Council approved staff’s work plan for compliance with HB 2003
including issuing a request for proposals (RFP) to solicit consultant services. Council also
committed to appoint an ad-hoc Task Force to provide high-level policy guidance to the
Commission and City Council as the City proceeds with HB 2003 compliance. The
Commission held their first work session on this subject on June 27, 2022, in order to provide
guidance to staff on the proposed work plan prior to issuing the RFP.
On October 4, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 22-30 creating the HPS Task Force
and appointing its members (see Attachment C). The City subsequently contracted with MIG,
Inc. (with subconsultant Johnson Economics) to complete the scope of work outlined in
Attachment D.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN
Staff and the above-mentioned consultant team have prepared a Draft Public Involvement Plan
that provides a working list of the public involvement activities proposed as part of HNA and
HPS scope of work (see Attachment E), including the following methods:
Housing Task Force – see discussion under Housing Production Strategy Task Force,
below.
Public Workshops / Open Houses – two (2) online workshops or open houses will be held
as part of this effort, one with a focus on items related to the Draft HNA Report and one
focused on items related to the HPS Report. Meetings are expected to include online
surveys that summarize material and guide participants through a set of questions.
Stakeholder Interviews – Stakeholder interviews with community members and housing
partners will be conducted to supplement the expertise and experience of the Housing
Task Force.
Project Website - The City will host a website that describes the project invites public
input on draft documents as they are available. The website will provide email contact
information for the project.
Additional Outreach Materials – This will include developing materials such as “fact
sheets” or other short documents that highlight housing issues, challenges, and
potential solutions. It may also include presentation materials for community group or
stakeholder meetings, or brief online surveys.
These engagement efforts will be designed in order to prioritize underrepresented
communities within the city, including Black, Indigenous and People of Color; renters; low-
income households; immigrant or refugee community members; veterans; people with
disabilities; seniors; agricultural workers; and people currently experiencing homelessness or
Page 3
who formerly experienced homelessness. The engagement will be coordinated with other
events, including housing production reporting required under 2018’s House Bill 4006.1
Housing Production Strategy Task Force
As mentioned above, the City Council appointed members to an HPS Task Force via
resolution in October of last year (see Attachment C). The HPS Task Force is comprised of
individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds, identities, income ranges, and professions,
with representation from elected and appointed officials, members of City boards and
commissions, housing producers, and housing consumers within Lake Oswego.
The goal of the Task Force is to represent a wide range of experiences and ideas related to
housing, and to develop recommendations addressing those perspectives. The role of the
HPS Task Force will be to provide guidance to staff and the Planning Commission by
reviewing draft materials, providing feedback related to their personal or professional
experience and opinions, and informing the broader public about this process through their
individual networks. The Task Force will also recommend outreach strategies,
Comprehensive Plan amendments, or other actions to update the City’s HNA and develop an
HPS, consistent with adopted goals and initiatives related to housing.
The HPS Task Force is expected to meet a minimum of five times from December 2022
through late 2024 – including a Kickoff Meeting, at least two meetings dedicated to the Draft
HNA Report, and at least two meetings dedicated to the Draft HPS Report. The Task Force
held their “Kickoff Meeting” virtually on December 16, 2022, during which members
received a brief presentation outlining the background of House Bill 2003 and reviewed the
proposed work plan. The Task Force also adopted the bylaws in Attachment F and elected
Sarah Walker as Chair and John Turchi as Vice Chair at the meeting. The next meeting of the
Task Force is tentatively scheduled for March 2023, as shown in Attachment E.
The Task Force is expected to complete its work in time to allow the Commission to consider
Comprehensive Plan amendments to update the City’s HNA by September 2023, so that the
City Council may adopt an HB 2003-compliant HNA no later than December 2023 as required
by the State. The Commission will need to begin review of housing production strategy
alternatives by February 2024, so that the City Council may develop a strategy within one-
year of the adoption of the updated HNA as required by the State.
WORK PLAN UPDATE
Staff has updated the previously-discussed multi-phased work plan and schedule for this
project (see Attachment G). The updated schedule incorporates more detail about specific
Commission and City Council meeting dates while still maintaining regular “check-ins” with the
Commission and City Council prior to the consideration of a draft HNA at public hearings, as
well as “check-ins” in early 2024 prior to the consideration of a draft HPS Report.
The consultant and City staff began work late last year on a projection of housing need, an
inventory of buildable residential lands, an analysis of residential land needs, and other
1 Housing Production Reporting https://www.oregon.gov/lcd/UP/Pages/Reporting.aspx

197.296. (1)(a) The provisions of subsections (2) to (9) of this section apply to metropolitan ser-
vice district regional framework plans and local government comprehensive plans for lands within
the urban growth boundary of a city that is located outside of a metropolitan service district and
has a population of 25,000 or more.
(b) The Land Conservation and Development Commission may establish a set of factors under
which additional cities are subject to the provisions of this section. In establishing the set of factors
required under this paragraph, the commission shall consider the size of the city, the rate of popu-
lation growth of the city or the proximity of the city to another city with a population of 25,000 or
more or to a metropolitan service district.
(2)(a) [At periodic review pursuant to ORS 197.628 to 197.651 or at any other legislative review
of the comprehensive plan or regional framework plan that concerns the urban growth boundary and
requires the application of a statewide planning goal relating to buildable lands for residential use,]
A local government shall demonstrate that its comprehensive plan or regional framework plan pro-
vides sufficient buildable lands within the urban growth boundary established pursuant to statewide
planning goals to accommodate estimated housing needs for 20 years:
(A) At periodic review under ORS 197.628 to 197.651;
(B) As scheduled by the commission:
(i) At least once each eight years for local governments that are not within a metropol-
itan service district; or
(ii) At least once each six years for a metropolitan service district; or
(C) At any other legislative review of the comprehensive plan or regional framework plan
that concerns the urban growth boundary and requires the application of a statewide plan-
ning goal relating to buildable lands for residential use.
(b) The 20-year period shall commence on the date initially scheduled for completion of the
[periodic or legislative] review under paragraph (a) of this subsection.
(3) In performing the duties under subsection (2) of this section, a local government shall:
(a) Inventory the supply of buildable lands within the urban growth boundary and determine the
housing capacity of the buildable lands; and
(b) Conduct an analysis of housing need by type and density range, in accordance with ORS
197.303 and statewide planning goals and rules relating to housing, to determine the number of units
and amount of land needed for each needed housing type for the next 20 years.
(4)(a) For the purpose of the inventory described in subsection (3)(a) of this section, “buildable
lands” includes:
Enrolled House Bill 2003 (HB 2003-C)Page 5
(A) Vacant lands planned or zoned for residential use;
(B) Partially vacant lands planned or zoned for residential use;
(C) Lands that may be used for a mix of residential and employment uses under the existing
planning or zoning; and
(D) Lands that may be used for residential infill or redevelopment.
(b) For the purpose of the inventory and determination of housing capacity described in sub-
section (3)(a) of this section, the local government must demonstrate consideration of:
(A) The extent that residential development is prohibited or restricted by local regulation and
ordinance, state law and rule or federal statute and regulation;
(B) A written long term contract or easement for radio, telecommunications or electrical facili-
ties, if the written contract or easement is provided to the local government; and
(C) The presence of a single family dwelling or other structure on a lot or parcel.
(c) Except for land that may be used for residential infill or redevelopment, a local government
shall create a map or document that may be used to verify and identify specific lots or parcels that
have been determined to be buildable lands.
(5)(a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this subsection, the determination of
housing capacity and need pursuant to subsection (3) of this section must be based on data relating
to land within the urban growth boundary that has been collected since the last [periodic] review
[or] under subsection (2)(a)(B) of this section [five years, whichever is greater]. The data shall
include:
(A) The number, density and average mix of housing types of urban residential development that
have actually occurred;
(B) Trends in density and average mix of housing types of urban residential development;
(C) Demographic and population trends;
(D) Economic trends and cycles; and
(E) The number, density and average mix of housing types that have occurred on the buildable
lands described in subsection (4)(a) of this section.
(b) A local government shall make the determination described in paragraph (a) of this sub-
section using a shorter time period than the time period described in paragraph (a) of this sub-
section if the local government finds that the shorter time period will provide more accurate and
reliable data related to housing capacity and need. The shorter time period may not be less than
three years.
(c) A local government shall use data from a wider geographic area or use a time period for
economic cycles and trends longer than the time period described in paragraph (a) of this subsection
if the analysis of a wider geographic area or the use of a longer time period will provide more ac-
curate, complete and reliable data relating to trends affecting housing need than an analysis per-
formed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection. The local government must clearly describe the
geographic area, time frame and source of data used in a determination performed under this para-
graph.
(6) If the housing need determined pursuant to subsection (3)(b) of this section is greater than
the housing capacity determined pursuant to subsection (3)(a) of this section, the local government
shall take one or more of the following actions to accommodate the additional housing need:
(a) Amend its urban growth boundary to include sufficient buildable lands to accommodate
housing needs for the next 20 years. As part of this process, the local government shall consider the
effects of measures taken pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection. The amendment shall include
sufficient land reasonably necessary to accommodate the siting of new public school facilities. The
need and inclusion of lands for new public school facilities shall be a coordinated process between
the affected public school districts and the local government that has the authority to approve the
urban growth boundary;
(b) Amend its comprehensive plan, regional framework plan, functional plan or land use regu-
lations to include new measures that demonstrably increase the likelihood that residential develop-
ment will occur at densities sufficient to accommodate housing needs for the next 20 years without
Enrolled House Bill 2003 (HB 2003-C)Page 6
expansion of the urban growth boundary. A local government or metropolitan service district that
takes this action shall monitor and record the level of development activity and development density
by housing type following the date of the adoption of the new measures; or
(c) Adopt a combination of the actions described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection.
(7) Using the analysis conducted under subsection (3)(b) of this section, the local government
shall determine the overall average density and overall mix of housing types at which residential
development of needed housing types must occur in order to meet housing needs over the next 20
years. If that density is greater than the actual density of development determined under subsection
(5)(a)(A) of this section, or if that mix is different from the actual mix of housing types determined
under subsection (5)(a)(A) of this section, the local government, as part of its periodic review, shall
adopt measures that demonstrably increase the likelihood that residential development will occur
at the housing types and density and at the mix of housing types required to meet housing needs
over the next 20 years.
(8)(a) A local government outside a metropolitan service district that takes any actions under
subsection (6) or (7) of this section shall demonstrate that the comprehensive plan and land use
regulations comply with goals and rules adopted by the commission and implement ORS 197.295 to
197.314.
(b) The local government shall determine the density and mix of housing types anticipated as a
result of actions taken under subsections (6) and (7) of this section and monitor and record the ac-
tual density and mix of housing types achieved. The local government shall compare actual and
anticipated density and mix.The local government shall submit its comparison to the commission
at the next [periodic review or at the next legislative] review of its urban growth boundary[, which-
ever comes first] under subsection (2)(a) of this section.
(9) In establishing that actions and measures adopted under subsections (6) and (7) of this sec-
tion demonstrably increase the likelihood of higher density residential development, the local gov-
ernment shall at a minimum ensure that land zoned for needed housing is in locations appropriate
for the housing types identified under subsection (3) of this section and is zoned at density ranges
that are likely to be achieved by the housing market using the analysis in subsection (3) of this
section.Actions or measures, or both, may include but are not limited to:
(a) Increases in the permitted density on existing residential land;

SECTION 8a.If House Bill 2001 becomes law, section 8 of this 2019 Act (amending ORS
197.296) is repealed and ORS 197.296, as amended by section 5, chapter , Oregon Laws
2019 (Enrolled House Bill 2001), is amended to read:
197.296. (1)(a) The provisions of subsections (2) to (9) of this section apply to metropolitan ser-
vice district regional framework plans and local government comprehensive plans for lands within
the urban growth boundary of a city that is located outside of a metropolitan service district and
has a population of 25,000 or more.
(b) The Land Conservation and Development Commission may establish a set of factors under
which additional cities are subject to the provisions of this section. In establishing the set of factors
required under this paragraph, the commission shall consider the size of the city, the rate of popu-
lation growth of the city or the proximity of the city to another city with a population of 25,000 or
more or to a metropolitan service district.
(2)(a) [At periodic review pursuant to ORS 197.628 to 197.651 or at any other legislative review
of the comprehensive plan or regional framework plan that concerns the urban growth boundary and
requires the application of a statewide planning goal relating to buildable lands for residential use,]
A local government shall demonstrate that its comprehensive plan or regional framework plan pro-
vides sufficient buildable lands within the urban growth boundary established pursuant to statewide
planning goals to accommodate estimated housing needs for 20 years:
(A) At periodic review under ORS 197.628 to 197.651;
(B) As scheduled by the commission:
(i) At least once each eight years for local governments that are not within a metropol-
itan service district; or
(ii) At least once each six years for a metropolitan service district; or
(C) At any other legislative review of the comprehensive plan or regional framework plan
that concerns the urban growth boundary and requires the application of a statewide plan-
ning goal relating to buildable lands for residential use.
(b) The 20-year period shall commence on the date initially scheduled for completion of the
[periodic or legislative] review under paragraph (a) of this subsection.
(3) In performing the duties under subsection (2) of this section, a local government shall:
(a) Inventory the supply of buildable lands within the urban growth boundary and determine the
housing capacity of the buildable lands; and
(b) Conduct an analysis of existing and projected housing need by type and density range, in
accordance with all factors under ORS 197.303 and statewide planning goals and rules relating to
housing, to determine the number of units and amount of land needed for each needed housing type
for the next 20 years.
(4)(a) For the purpose of the inventory described in subsection (3)(a) of this section, “buildable
lands” includes:
(A) Vacant lands planned or zoned for residential use;
(B) Partially vacant lands planned or zoned for residential use;
(C) Lands that may be used for a mix of residential and employment uses under the existing
planning or zoning; and
(D) Lands that may be used for residential infill or redevelopment.
(b) For the purpose of the inventory and determination of housing capacity described in sub-
section (3)(a) of this section, the local government must demonstrate consideration of:
Enrolled House Bill 2003 (HB 2003-C)Page 8
(A) The extent that residential development is prohibited or restricted by local regulation and
ordinance, state law and rule or federal statute and regulation;
(B) A written long term contract or easement for radio, telecommunications or electrical facili-
ties, if the written contract or easement is provided to the local government; and
(C) The presence of a single family dwelling or other structure on a lot or parcel.
(c) Except for land that may be used for residential infill or redevelopment, a local government
shall create a map or document that may be used to verify and identify specific lots or parcels that
have been determined to be buildable lands.
(5)(a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this subsection, the determination of
housing capacity pursuant to subsection (3)(a) of this section must be based on data relating to land
within the urban growth boundary that has been collected since the last review [or six years,
whichever is greater] under subsection (2)(a)(B) of this section. The data shall include:
(A) The number, density and average mix of housing types of urban residential development that
have actually occurred;
(B) Trends in density and average mix of housing types of urban residential development;
(C) Market factors that may substantially impact future urban residential development; and
(D) The number, density and average mix of housing types that have occurred on the buildable
lands described in subsection (4)(a) of this section.
(b) A local government shall make the determination described in paragraph (a) of this sub-
section using a shorter time period than the time period described in paragraph (a) of this sub-
section if the local government finds that the shorter time period will provide more accurate and
reliable data related to housing capacity. The shorter time period may not be less than three years.
(c) A local government shall use data from a wider geographic area or use a time period longer
than the time period described in paragraph (a) of this subsection if the analysis of a wider ge-
ographic area or the use of a longer time period will provide more accurate, complete and reliable
data relating to trends affecting housing need than an analysis performed pursuant to paragraph (a)
of this subsection. The local government must clearly describe the geographic area, time frame and
source of data used in a determination performed under this paragraph.
(6) If the housing need determined pursuant to subsection (3)(b) of this section is greater than
the housing capacity determined pursuant to subsection (3)(a) of this section, the local government
shall take one or both of the following actions to accommodate the additional housing need:
(a) Amend its urban growth boundary to include sufficient buildable lands to accommodate
housing needs for the next 20 years. As part of this process, the local government shall consider the
effects of measures taken pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection. The amendment shall include
sufficient land reasonably necessary to accommodate the siting of new public school facilities. The
need and inclusion of lands for new public school facilities shall be a coordinated process between
the affected public school districts and the local government that has the authority to approve the
urban growth boundary.
(b) Amend its comprehensive plan, regional framework plan, functional plan or land use regu-
lations to include new measures that demonstrably increase the likelihood that residential develop-
ment will occur at densities sufficient to accommodate housing needs for the next 20 years without
expansion of the urban growth boundary. A local government or metropolitan service district that
takes this action shall adopt findings regarding the density expectations assumed to result from
measures adopted under this paragraph based upon the factors listed in ORS 197.303 (2) and data
in subsection (5)(a) of this section. The density expectations may not project an increase in resi-
dential capacity above achieved density by more than three percent without quantifiable validation
of such departures. For a local government located outside of a metropolitan service district, a
quantifiable validation must demonstrate that the assumed housing capacity has been achieved in
areas that are zoned to allow no greater than the same authorized density level within the local
jurisdiction or a jurisdiction in the same region. For a metropolitan service district, a quantifiable
validation must demonstrate that the assumed housing capacity has been achieved in areas that are
Enrolled House Bill 2003 (HB 2003-C)Page 9
zoned to allow no greater than the same authorized density level within the metropolitan service
district.
(c) As used in this subsection, “authorized density level” has the meaning given that term in
ORS 227.175.
(7) Using the housing need analysis conducted under subsection (3)(b) of this section, the local
government shall determine the overall average density and overall mix of housing types at which
residential development of needed housing types must occur in order to meet housing needs over the
next 20 years.If that density is greater than the actual density of development determined under
subsection (5)(a)(A) of this section, or if that mix is different from the actual mix of housing types
determined under subsection (5)(a)(A) of this section, the local government, as part of its periodic
review, shall adopt measures that demonstrably increase the likelihood that residential development
will occur at the housing types and density and at the mix of housing types required to meet housing
needs over the next 20 years.
(8)(a) A local government outside a metropolitan service district that takes any actions under
subsection (6) or (7) of this section shall demonstrate that the comprehensive plan and land use
regulations comply with goals and rules adopted by the commission and implement ORS 197.295 to
197.314.
(b) A local government shall determine the density and mix of housing types anticipated as a
result of actions taken under subsections (6) and (7) of this section and monitor and record the ac-
tual density and mix of housing types achieved following the adoption of these actions. The local
government shall compare actual and anticipated density and mix. The local government shall sub-
mit its comparison to the commission at the next [periodic review or at the next legislative] review
of its urban growth boundary[, whichever comes first] under subsection (2)(a) of this section.
(9) In establishing that actions and measures adopted under subsections (6) and (7) of this sec-
tion demonstrably increase the likelihood of higher density residential development, the local gov-
ernment shall at a minimum ensure that land zoned for needed housing is in locations appropriate
for the housing types identified under subsection (3) of this section, is zoned at density ranges that
are likely to be achieved by the housing market using the analysis in subsection (3) of this section
and is in areas where sufficient urban services are planned to enable the higher density development
to occur over the 20-year period.Actions or measures, or both, may include but are not limited to:
(a) Increases in the permitted density on existing residential land;
(b) Financial incentives for higher density housing;
(c) Provisions permitting additional density beyond that generally allowed in the zoning district
in exchange for amenities and features provided by the developer;
(d) Removal or easing of approval standards or procedures;
(e) Minimum density ranges;
(f) Redevelopment and infill strategies;
(g) Authorization of housing types not previously allowed by the plan or regulations;
(h) Adoption of an average residential density standard; and
(i) Rezoning or redesignation of nonresidential land.
(10)(a) The provisions of this subsection apply to local government comprehensive plans for
lands within the urban growth boundary of a city that is located outside of a metropolitan service
district and has a population of less than 25,000.
(b) [At periodic review pursuant to ORS 197.628 to 197.651 or at any other legislative review of
the comprehensive plan that requires the application of a statewide planning goal relating to buildable
lands for residential use,]As required under paragraph (c) of this subsection, a city shall, ac-
cording to rules of the commission:
(A) Determine the estimated housing needs within the jurisdiction for the next 20 years;
(B) Inventory the supply of buildable lands available within the urban growth boundary to ac-
commodate the estimated housing needs determined under this subsection; and
(C) Adopt measures necessary to accommodate the estimated housing needs determined under
this subsection.
Enrolled House Bill 2003 (HB 2003-C)Page 10
(c) The actions required under paragraph (b) of this subsection shall be undertaken:
(A) At periodic review pursuant to ORS 197.628 to 197.651;
(B) On a schedule established by the commission for cities with a population greater than
10,000, not to exceed once each eight years; or
(C) At any other legislative review of the comprehensive plan that requires the applica-
tion of a statewide planning goal relating to buildable lands for residential use.
[(c)] (d) For the purpose of the inventory described in this subsection, “buildable lands” includes
those lands described in subsection (4)(a) of this section.
SECTION 9. ORS 197.299 is amended to read:
197.299. (1) A metropolitan service district organized under ORS chapter 268 shall complete the
inventory, determination and analysis required under ORS 197.296 (3) not later than six years after
completion of the previous inventory, determination and analysis.
(2)(a) The metropolitan service district shall take such action as necessary under ORS 197.296
(6)(a) to accommodate one-half of a 20-year buildable land supply determined under ORS 197.296 (3)
within one year of completing the analysis.
(b) The metropolitan service district shall take all final action under ORS 197.296 (6)(a) neces-
sary to accommodate a 20-year buildable land supply determined under ORS 197.296 (3) within two
years of completing the analysis.
(c) The metropolitan service district shall take action under ORS 197.296 (6)(b), within one year
after the analysis required under ORS 197.296 (3)(b) is completed, to provide sufficient buildable land
within the urban growth boundary to accommodate the estimated housing needs for 20 years from
the time the actions are completed.
(d) The metropolitan service district shall consider and adopt new measures that the governing
body deems appropriate under ORS 197.296 (6)(b) and shall allocate any housing capacity that is
not accommodated under this section to be accommodated by the application of ORS 197.296
(6)(b) by cities within the metropolitan service district with a population greater than
10,000.
(e) Cities to which housing capacity is allocated under paragraph (d) of this subsection
shall take steps, at least once every six years as scheduled by the Land Conservation and
Development Commission, to demonstrably increase the likelihood that residential develop-
ment will occur at densities sufficient to accommodate housing needs for the next 20 years
as required by ORS 197.296 (6)(b).
(3) The [Land Conservation and Development] commission may grant an extension to the time
limits of subsection (2) of this section if the Director of the Department of Land Conservation and
Development determines that the metropolitan service district has provided good cause for failing
to meet the time limits.
(4)(a) The metropolitan service district shall establish a process to expand the urban growth
boundary to accommodate a need for land for a public school that cannot reasonably be accommo-
dated within the existing urban growth boundary. The metropolitan service district shall design the
process to:
(A) Accommodate a need that must be accommodated between periodic analyses of urban growth
boundary capacity required by subsection (1) of this section; and
(B) Provide for a final decision on a proposal to expand the urban growth boundary within four
months after submission of a complete application by a large school district as defined in ORS
195.110.
(b) At the request of a large school district, the metropolitan service district shall assist the
large school district to identify school sites required by the school facility planning process de-
scribed in ORS 195.110. A need for a public school is a specific type of identified land need under
ORS 197.298 (3).
(5) Three years after completing its most recent demonstration of sufficient buildable lands un-
der ORS 197.296, a metropolitan service district may, on a single occasion, revise the determination
Enrolled House Bill 2003 (HB 2003-C)Page 11
and analysis required as part of the demonstration for the purpose of considering an amendment to
the metropolitan service district’s urban growth boundary, provided:
(a) The metropolitan service district has entered into an intergovernmental agreement and has
designated rural reserves and urban reserves under ORS 195.141 and 195.145 with each county lo-
cated within the district;
(b) The commission has acknowledged the rural reserve and urban reserve designations de-
scribed in paragraph (a) of this subsection;
(c) One or more cities within the metropolitan service district have proposed a development that
would require expansion of the urban growth boundary;
(d) The city or cities proposing the development have provided evidence to the metropolitan
service district that the proposed development would provide additional needed housing to the
needed housing included in the most recent determination and analysis;
(e) The location chosen for the proposed development is adjacent to the city proposing the de-
velopment; and
(f) The location chosen for the proposed development is located within an area designated and
acknowledged as an urban reserve.
(6)(a) If a metropolitan service district, after revising its most recent determination and analysis
pursuant to subsection (5) of this section, concludes that an expansion of its urban growth boundary
is warranted, the metropolitan service district may take action to expand its urban growth boundary
in one or more locations to accommodate the proposed development, provided the urban growth
boundary expansion does not exceed a total of 1,000 acres.
(b) A metropolitan service district that expands its urban growth boundary under this sub-
section:
(A) Must adopt the urban growth boundary expansion not more than four years after completing
its most recent demonstration of sufficient buildable lands under ORS 197.296; and
(B) Is exempt from the boundary location requirements described in the statewide land use
planning goals relating to urbanization.

Housing Production Strategy Task Force Overview & Work Plan Page 1 of 5
Housing Production Strategy Task Force
Ad Hoc Task Force Overview
Draft December 7, 2022
BACKGROUND
In 2019, the Oregon Legislature adopted House Bill 2003 (HB 2003), which requires cities to plan for
housing. Specifically, the bill requires that Lake Oswego adopt an updated Housing Needs Analysis
(HNA) by December 31st, 2023, and a Housing Production Strategy (HPS) within one year of the
updated HNA’s adoption. (The current HNA was adopted in 2014 as part of the Comprehensive Plan
Update adopted at that time.)
This work is consistent with the 2022 City Council initiative to, “Complete work on key housing
initiatives, including HB 2001 code adoption, HB 2003 compliance, decision-making on a possible
project on the Boones Ferry Road Staging area, and support for other non-profit led housing projects,”
On June 8, 2022, the City Council directed staff to issue a request for proposals (RFP) to solicit
consultant services to assist with this work, and committed to appoint an Ad-Hoc Task Force to provide
high-level policy guidance to the Planning Commission and City Council as the City identifies critical
housing needs and recommends strategies to address them, per the requirements of HB 2003. The City
has since contracted with a consultant team led by MIG to conduct this work, and, on October 4, 2022,
the City Council appointed an ad-hoc Housing Production Strategy Task Force (“Task Force”) to provide
guidance to staff and the Planning Commission as the City proceeds with HB 2003 compliance.
House Bill 2003
HB 2003 was adopted during the same legislative session (2019) as House Bill 2001 (HB 2001), in order
to help local jurisdictions meet the housing needs of residents throughout the state. The bill requires
Oregon cities with over 10,000 residents to analyze the future housing needs of their community
through an HNA and to develop strategies that promote the development of such needed housing
through an HPS.
In November 2020, the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) adopted
implementing rules for HB 2003, which are contained in OAR 660-008-0045 through -0070. These rules
established criteria for compliance, including the components that are required to be included within
an HPS Report.
Housing Needs Analysis
The HNA, incorporated into a city’s comprehensive plan by ordinance, assesses housing need and
capacity over a 20-year planning horizon. An HNA must include the inventory, determination, and
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Housing Production Strategy Task Force Overview & Work Plan Page 2 of 5
analysis required under ORS 197.296 (Factors to establish sufficiency of buildable lands within an urban
growth boundary) (3):
(3) In performing the duties under subsection (2) of this section, a local government shall:
(a) Inventory the supply of buildable lands within the urban growth boundary and determine
the housing capacity of the buildable lands; and
(b) Conduct an analysis of existing and projected housing need by type and density range, in
accordance with all factors under ORS 197.303 (“Needed housing” defined) and statewide
planning goals and rules relating to housing, to determine the number of units and amount
of land needed for each needed housing type for the next 20 years.
The City last updated its HNA in 2013 as part of the Comprehensive Plan update the City adopted in
2014. The document is an appendix to the Complete Neighborhoods and Housing chapter of the Plan.
The 2013 HNA found that the Lake Oswego Urban Services Boundary had an adequate amount of
vacant, part-vacant, and redevelopable land area at that time to meet the then projected housing
needs through the year 2035.
The 2013 HNA also found there was sufficient vacant and redevelopable land to meet the projected
need for detached single-family housing, and that the City could meet the projected need for attached
housing primarily through redevelopment in existing medium- and high-density residential zones and
mixed-use zones. The HNA recommended new strategies such as incentives or requirements for new
development in the town centers to include a minimum number of housing units. The HNA also
recommended strategies to help ensure a range of housing prices is maintained over time, particularly
for residents earning less than 80 percent of the area median income (AMI).
The City has since implemented the Complete Neighborhoods and Housing policies, and other HNA’s
strategies, including creating incentives for the development of affordable housing for residents
earning less than 80% of AMI. Additionally, the recent adoption of code amendments to comply with
House Bill 2001 (HB 2001) expanded the range of housing types that can be accommodated
throughout the City by allowing middle housing – including duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes,
townhouses, and cottage clusters - in all residential zones. However, following national and regional
trends, housing prices in Lake Oswego have continued to escalate faster than median household
incomes. Considering these trends, it will be necessary for the City to continue to assess its progress in
meeting an increased need for housing in order to determine the best approach moving forward –
particularly as compared to the needs projected in 2013.
Under the requirements of HB 2003, cities with over 10,000 residents within the Portland Metro
Boundary are now required to update their HNA every six years. Though it has been more than six
years since the City adopted its HNA, DLCD has released an HNA Adoption Schedule requiring that Lake
Oswego adopt an updated HNA by December 31st, 2023.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Housing Production Strategy Task Force Overview & Work Plan Page 3 of 5
Housing Production Strategy
HB 2003 also requires that cities adopt an HPS within one year of the date of HNA adoption. The HPS
must identify a set of specific tools, actions, and policies that the City will utilize in order to address the
housing needs identified in the HNA, as well as a timeline for adopting and implementing each
strategy.
As outlined in OAR 660-008-0050, there are five major components of an HPS:
1. Contextualized Housing Need – Identify the relevant social and demographic trends, existing
adopted measures, market conditions, barriers to housing, and housing needs of
underrepresented populations;
2. Engagement – Conduct meaningful engagement with both consumers and producers of needed
housing;
3. Strategies to Meet Future Housing Need – Outline the strategies proposed to meet housing
need, including a timeline for adoption, a timeline for implementation, and the anticipated
depth and breadth of the impact of the strategies;
4. Achieving Fair and Equitable Housing Outcomes – Describe how the proposed strategies will
achieve equitable outcomes with respect to location / transportation, fair housing, housing
choice, homelessness, opportunities for affordable housing, and gentrification / displacement;
and
5. Conclusion – Address any opportunities or constraints associated with adoption of the elements
of proposed strategies, provide a detailed list of actions to implement the strategies, and
describe which metrics will be used to measure progress.
The HPS review process will be managed by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and
Development (DLCD), who will review and approve an HPS based on the accuracy and sufficiency of the
strategies being proposed, considering the factors as outlined in OAR 660-008-0055:
Unmet housing need;
The proportion of households identified as severely rent-burdened;
Recent housing development;
Recent adoption of an HPS or implementation of actions therein;
City response to addressing needs of those experiencing homelessness;
Increased access to housing opportunity;
Elimination of barriers to fair and equitable housing options; and
Other relevant attributes that the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission
deems to be relevant.
Cities are also required to provide updates to DLCD at “mid-term checkpoints” every three years in
order to evaluate the progress and effectiveness of their HPS. This process will ask cities to reflect upon
which strategies were successful, which were not successful, and to identify ways for cities to modify
their strategies to ensure housing needs are adequately being addressed.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Housing Production Strategy Task Force Overview & Work Plan Page 4 of 5
HB 2003 does not provide a prescriptive set of strategies that cities must adopt. However, to help cities
as they produce HPS Reports for compliance with HB 2003, DLCD compiled a list of potential housing
production strategies that jurisdictions can select from in order to promote housing production within
their community. The HPS Program List of Tools, Actions and Policies includes options that are broken
out into distinct categories for easy reference, ranging from zoning and code changes to financial
incentives, financial resources, reducing regulatory impediments, tax exemption and abatement, and
securing land for needed housing. The HPS Task Force is tasked with recommending options that best
meet Lake Oswego’s housing needs, taking into consideration existing policies, programs, and
resources.
Policy Direction
The City has taken several actions toward expanding housing options since adoption of the 2013
Housing Needs Analysis, including:
Adoption of Clear and Objective Housing Standards;
Streamlined development standards and permit process for accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
(Ordinance 2784);
Waiver of systems development charges (SDCs) for ADUs and multifamily affordable housing
developments (Ordinance 2810);
Rezoning of public and privately-owned properties to allow multifamily development with
affordable housing under a voluntary inclusionary housing policy;
Land banking and sale of City-owned property for development of affordable housing;
Advocacy for affordable housing, including securing federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
funds for for-sale affordable units;
Funding of public infrastructure improvements associated with affordable housing
development;
Inclusion of a percentage of affordable housing in the North Anchor Redevelopment project;
and
Adoption of code amendments to permit middle housing in all zones that allow the
development of detached single-family dwellings (Ordinance 2982).
Over the last three years, the City has permitted or is assisting with the development of approximately
180 affordable housing units, including both for-sale and rental units for those earning <30% - 80%
AMI. In 2020, the Council approved a proposal to add affordable multi-family dwellings as a permitted
use in the Campus Institutional zone at the former Marylhurst University Campus site, and earlier this
year Mercy Housing Northwest broke ground on 100 units of affordable multi-family housing for
residents earning 60% of AMI or less at the site. Following a similar rezoning on the west side of Lake
Oswego, the Council approved an intergovernmental agreement with Metro to sell a City-owned
property on Boones Ferry Road (formerly used for construction staging) for the development of
approximately 50 affordable housing units for those earning <30% - 80% AMI. In the same general
area, the City helped secure ARPA funds and has also allocated $800,000 in City funds for public
______________________________________________________________________________________________

infrastructure in support of a Habitat for Humanity development comprised of 23 affordable for-sale
townhomes.
As noted, the Lake Oswego City Council currently has a goal to “Conserve the community’s quality of
life by planning for growth and change,” and an initiative to “Complete work on key housing initiatives,
including HB 2003 compliance.” The Council and Planning Commission recently provided direction to
proceed with a multi-phased work plan to amend the City’s Comprehensive Plan in order to comply
with the housing production strategy requirements of the bill.

The Consultant shall obtain necessary background information and documents from relevant
agencies, including the most recent versions of, but not limited to:
• Applicable Metro Regional Population and Employment Range Forecasts
• Most recent Metro Urban Growth Management Report
• Housing affordability indices, including relevant data from the Housing Authority of
Clackamas County and Oregon Department of Housing and Community Services
1.2 Refine project schedule. The Consultant shall work with City staff to confirm the objectives of the
project and refine a proposed project schedule.
1.3 Develop plan for public involvement: The selected Consultant will develop a Public Involvement
Plan that focuses on how to productively engage housing consumers within the City through
methods such as public events, interviews, focus groups, surveys, or other similar efforts. Public
engagement shall prioritize underrepresented communities, including renters; low-income
households; seniors; people with disabilities; persons of color; immigrant or refugee
communities; formerly or currently homeless people; and individuals with limited English
proficiency.
City staff will provide the selected Consultant with a list of groups and organizations that need
to be engaged through the course of the project. Public engagement efforts shall build upon the
City’s previous housing-related outreach related to House Bill 2001 and affordable housing, and
Page 2
should be coordinated with the event(s) required under HB 4006 for severely rent burdened
communities. Stakeholders also include those who are currently developing affordable housing
in Lake Oswego, including the Mercy Housing Northwest (Marylhurst Commons) and Habitat for
Humanity (West Lake Grove townhomes), and others who are assisting the City and Metro in
planning for development of affordable housing. See the Boones Ferry Road Affordable Housing
Initiative.
1.3 Create outreach materials. The selected Consultant will create graphic and written materials to
help educate the community about the goals and objectives of the project, including a
description of the basic elements of a Housing Needs Analysis (HNA) and Housing Production
Strategy (HPS), and how this planning effort could help improve the availability of needed
housing within the community.

Housing Production Strategy Task Force (HPS Task Force) in order to provide guidance
throughout the course of the project.
1.5 Host kickoff meeting. Consultant will facilitate HPS Task Force Meeting No. 1 to provide an
overview of the project, solicit feedback on the draft public engagement plan, discuss and
confirm desired outcomes, and review the project schedule. City staff will prepare minutes for
all task force meetings, and the selected Consultant will be responsible for drafting summaries
of surveys, focus group discussions, and other engagement opportunities.
Task 1 Meetings:
• PMT kickoff meeting
• HPS Task Force kickoff meeting
Task 1 Consultant Work Products:
• Project schedule
• Public Involvement Plan

Task 2 – Draft Housing Needs Analysis
Subtasks:
2.1 Draft Housing Needs Projection. The Consultant will prepare a draft housing needs projection
consistent with OAR Chapter 660, divisions 7 and 8. The housing needs projection will be used to
determine the City’s residential land need in Task 2.3 and is a baseline set of data that the
Consultant will build upon to contextualize current and future housing needs for the Housing
Production Strategy (HPS), considering population and market trends.
Analysis of contextualized housing needs will include:
• Socio-economic and demographic trends of a jurisdiction’s population, disaggregated by
race to the extent possible with available data;
Page 3
• Market conditions affecting the provision of needed housing, including demand for
seasonal housing, as applicable;
• Existing and expected barriers to the development of needed housing;
• Housing need for those experiencing homelessness, using the best available data;
• Percentage of Rent-Burdened Households;
• Household income;
• Household size;
• Housing by Tenure (owner vs renter);
• Percentage of housing stock that is market rate vs. subsidized; and
• Units that are in the development pipeline by housing type and affordability if
subsidized.
The Consultant will develop a draft of the housing needs projection and a framework outlining
the socio-economic and demographic data. The analysis will be vetted with, and draw upon,
information gathered through engagement with housing consumers, including
underrepresented communities, before being presented at HPS Task Force Meeting No. 2. The
Consultant will address HPS Task Force comments and draft a Contextualized Housing Needs
Memorandum, which will later become a section of the HPS.
The City will review and provide feedback to the Consultant on the draft work products, assist
with coordinating and facilitating outreach and engagement, and provide staff support for the
HPS Task Force, including preparation of meeting notices, agendas, and minutes for HPS Task
Force Meetings Nos. 2 and 3. The Consultant will coordinate all meeting materials, including
presentations with the City’s project manager and facilitate the meetings. The Consultant should
be prepared to present multiple deliverables at each meeting in order to keep the project on
schedule.
2.2 Draft Residential Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI): The selected Consultant will prepare a draft
inventory of the supply of buildable lands and a determination of the actual density/mix of
housing consistent with OAR Chapter 660, Division 8. The draft report shall include map(s)
showing vacant, partially developed and redevelopable lands where needed housing is allowed;
and an inventory report describing the methodology.
The development of the BLI shall be a combined effort between the Consultant and the City
with input from the HPS Task Force. It is envisioned that the Consultant will provide technical
and other recommendations to refine the draft BLI and ensure that it is consistent with DLCD’s
Workbook. The City shall provide the GIS resources and staffing to refine the inventory.
The City is the lead for coordination with Metro, the County, and DLCD, with the Consultant
providing support and participating in meetings with the agencies as needed.
The City will schedule and provide notice and an agenda for HPS Task Force Meeting No. 4 to
review the draft BLI. The Consultant will coordinate with City on all materials, including the
presentation with the City’s project manager and facilitate the meeting.
2.3 Draft Residential Land Needs Analysis (RLNA). The Consultant shall prepare a Residential Land
Needs Analysis that incorporates local, regional, and state housing and income data and is
consistent with and builds upon the methodology described in DLCD’s Planning for Residential
Growth: A Workbook for Oregon’s Urban Areas. The RLNA shall project housing units needed by
housing type and density over the 20-year planning period, including housing affordable to
those earning less than the area median income.
Page 4
The RLNA shall include but not be limited to the following:
a. Population Projection / Base Case Housing Unit Projection – Estimate the additional
housing units (type and density) required for a 20-year period. Using a 20-year
projection to 2030, the Consultant shall determine a “base case” housing units needs by
using the most up-to-date and available information from the US Census, Portland State
University Center for Population Research and Census, Metro, and/or other reliable
sources.
b. Demographic and Economic Trend Analysis – Identify relevant economic and household
trends that relate to the demand for different types of housing. The Consultant shall rely
on the most up-to-date and available information from the US Census, Portland State
University Center for Population Research and Census, Metro, and/or other reliable
sources to examine historical demographic and economic trends at the local, county,
and statewide level.
c. Identify Affordable Housing Types and Allocations – Determine the types of housing that
are likely to be affordable to the projected households based on household income.
d. Identify Needed Densities by Plan Designation / Zoning District – Estimate the number
of additional needed units by structure type.
2.4 Prepare Final HNA Report. Following review by staff and revisions as needed, the consultant will
prepare a final draft of the Housing Needs Analysis Report and present it to the HPS Task Force,
Planning Commission, and City Council. The consultant will summarize HPS Task Force
comments on the draft and make any minor updates to the draft following Task Force review.
Following public review and comment, the consultant will produce a final version of the HNA
Report. The Final HNA Report will contain an Executive Summary and narrative, tables, and
maps describing the city’s existing housing stock, projected housing needs, and other data,
conclusions, and recommendations from the preceding tasks.
The Consultant will present the Final HNA report at one public workshop or open house to solicit
input from the public. The consultant will coordinate all meeting materials and the presentation
with City staff.
Task 2 Meetings:
• PMT Meetings (5 total)
• HPS Task Force Meetings (3 total)

Task 3: Housing Production Strategy
3.1 Evaluate existing housing strategies. The consultant will review the policies and other measures
already adopted by the City for their effectiveness in promoting the development of needed
housing. The City will identify and provide all available information about existing relevant
measures. The consultant will also interview key City staff and up to eight (8) housing producers
and/or service providers to seek input on existing policies and programs, and potential new
strategies for housing. This input will be used to identify strategy alternatives to address the
most housing and residential land needs as determined in previous tasks.
3.2 Outline housing strategy alternatives, which shall be summarized in a Housing Strategy
Alternatives Memo.
The Consultant shall draft a Housing Strategy Alternatives Memo addressing any changes to the
City’s comprehensive plan, public facility master plans, land use regulations, fees, and other
policies and programs, as applicable, that would be most effective in supporting the production
of needed housing. For example, the Memo might identify strategies for prioritizing
infrastructure investments, amendments to zoning and development standards, and new
incentives (regulatory or financial) to encourage the production of needed housing, considering
the results of previous tasks.
The Consultant will present the Memo to the HPS Task Force in two meetings in order to
introduce the housing strategy alternatives and receive input. The consultant will coordinate
with the City on all meeting materials and presentations with City staff, and facilitate the HPS
Task Force meetings.
3.3 Refine housing strategy recommendations. The consultant will work with City staff and the HPS
Task Force to refine the list of alternative housing strategy options developed in Task 3.2 in an
Initial Housing Strategy Recommendations Memo, pursuant to direction from the Planning
Commission and City Council.
The Consultant shall draft a Housing Strategy Recommendations Memo with a refined list of
strategies based on input from Task 3.2. The Consultant will also attend and present this Memo
at 2 HPS Task Force meetings for review and input in order to develop a preferred list of
strategies for inclusion in the HPS. Recommended strategies will be presented to the Planning
Commission and City Council for further direction.
The City will schedule and provide notice and an agenda for each HPS Task Force meeting. The
consultant will be expected to coordinate all meeting and presentation materials with City staff,
and facilitate the meetings. The HPS Task Force may review more than one strategy option at
each meeting. The Consultant shall provide a brief paper, case study, or similar written
description illustrating each strategy, as generally outlined below.
For the strategies that are recommended for inclusion in the City’s HPS, the consultant will
produce the following for each strategy within the Initial Housing Strategy Recommendations
Memo, based on the consultant’s evaluation, input from staff, and feedback gathered through
outreach and engagement:
Page 6
• A description of the strategy;
• Identified housing need being fulfilled and analysis of the income and demographic
populations that will receive benefit and/or burden from the strategy, including low-
income communities, communities of color, and other communities that have been
discriminated against, according to fair housing laws;
• Approximate magnitude of impact, including (where possible/applicable) an estimate of
the number of housing units that may be created, and the time frame over which the
strategy is expected to impact needed housing;
• Timeline for adoption and implementation;
• Actions necessary for the local government and other stakeholders to take in order to
implement the strategy;
• Potential cost and funding source options;
• Feasibility of the strategy based on a general assessment of opportunities and
constraints.
3.4 Draft Housing Production Strategy (HPS) Report. The consultant will prepare a first draft of a
Housing Production Strategy Report for City review and feedback. The consultant’s analysis will
be informed by the recommendations contained in the HNA, and shall be developed in
consultation with the HPS Task Force, the Planning Commission, and the City Council before
being synthesized into a draft HPS.
The HPS Report is to incorporate the results of Tasks 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, including an explanation
of how the City’s existing measures and final proposed strategies help to achieve fair and
equitable housing outcomes, affirmatively further fair housing, and overcome discriminatory
housing practices and racial segregation.
HPS Report shall include:
1. A qualitative assessment of how the strategies collectively address the contextualized
housing needs identified in the HNA and, taken collectively, will increase housing
options for population groups experiencing a current or projected disproportionate
housing need, including:
o Existing City policies, codes, and programs;
o Proposed actions;
2. An explanation for any identified needs not otherwise addressed above; and
3. An outline the City’s plan for monitoring progress on the housing production strategies.

Public Involvement Plan
DRAFT – January 2023
Introduction
The City of Lake Oswego is updating its Housing Needs Analysis to reflect current conditions in the City
and projected future needs. This Public Involvement Plan describes the roles of City staff and the
consultant team in engagement efforts, with the intent of making efficient use of consultant time while
helping the City deepen its relationships with the community it serves.
These engagement efforts will prioritize underrepresented communities within the city, including (as
applicable to Lake Oswego) Black, Indigenous and People of Color; renters; low-income households;
immigrant or refugee community members; veterans; people with disabilities; seniors; agricultural
workers; and people currently experiencing homelessness or who formerly experienced homelessness.
The engagement will be coordinated with other events, including those required under 2018’s House Bill
4006.1
This document provides a working list of the public involvement activities proposed as part of the Lake
Oswego Housing Needs Assessment (HNA). It is intended as a living document and may be updated as
the project progresses.
Project Schedule
A detailed project schedule is being developed. Initial thinking about milestones as they relate to public
involvement are shown below. They are generally organized into two phases.
Phase 1: Buildable Land and Housing Need – October 2022 to June 2023
Task 1. Project Kickoff: October 2022 – December 2022
Task 2. Draft Housing Needs Analysis: November 2022 – March 2023
Task 3. Residential Buildable Lands Inventory: November 2022 – March 2023
Task 4. Residential Land Needs Analysis: March – May 2023
Task 5. Final Housing Needs Analysis Report: May – July 2023
Phase 2: Housing Strategies – June 2023 to March 2024

Desired Project Outcomes
The public engagement as part of this effort is intended to:
1 Housing Production Reporting https://www.oregon.gov/lcd/UP/Pages/Reporting.aspx
City of Lake Oswego Housing Needs Analysis
Page 2
Inform the public about City activities
Involve stakeholders by asking relevant questions and telling the public how their answers
influenced the project.
Empower participants to help shape City policy on important topics.
Engagement Methods
The following methods are proposed to engage the community during this process.
Housing Production Strategy Task Force (HPS Task Force)
The City will convene a Housing Production Strategy Task Force to guide this project.
Membership. The HPS Task Force will include individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds,
identities, income ranges, and professions. The goal of convening such a body is to hear a wide
range of opinions and ideas and develop recommendations that represent them.
Meetings. The HPS Task Force will meet a total of 5 times – three times on items related to the
Draft Housing Needs Analysis Report (Task 2) and two times on items related to the Housing
Production Strategy Report (Task 3). Meetings may be in person or virtual, hybrid, or some
combination thereof.
Role. The role of the HPS Task Force will be to guide the process by reviewing draft materials,
providing feedback related to their personal or professional experience and opinions, and
informing the broader public about this process through their individual networks.
At their December 2022 meeting, the HPS Task Force elected a chair and vice chair and adopted a set of
bylaws. This information can be found on the City’s website.
Public Workshops/Open Houses
Two online workshops or open houses will be held as part of this effort, one with a focus on items
related to the Draft Housing Needs Analysis Report (Task 2) and one focused on items related to the
Housing Production Strategy Report (Task 3).
Meeting Topics
Task 2 Workshop/Open House. This open house will address Buildable Lands Inventory, Housing
Needs Projection, and resulting analysis. These elements of the Housing Needs Analysis provide
a picture of the City’s current land base, existing and future demographics, and a projection of
needed housing. The broader public will be invited to comment on these technical materials, as
well as describe what they think the community’s priorities on housing overall should be. This
input will inform the priorities and strategies that come as part of the following task.
Task 3 Workshop/Open House. This open house will present a draft set of recommended
Housing Production Strategies which the City can undertake to meet housing needs and the
priority, timing, costs, and implementation thereof.
Meeting Logistics
Meetings are expected to take the form of online surveys that summarize material and guide
participants through a set of questions. An in-person component where this material is
presented on poster boards, with a printed-out version of the survey also could be an
alternative option.
City of Lake Oswego Housing Needs Analysis
Page 3
Stakeholder Interviews
Additional stakeholder interviews with community members and housing partners may be conducted to
supplement the expertise and experience of the Housing Task Force.
Project Website
The City of Lake Oswego will host a website that describes the project and lets the public access draft
documents as they are available. The website will provide a link to a comment form and/or direct email
contact for the project. Consultant will provide information for the website.
Additional Outreach Materials
Additional engagement efforts may include:
Preparation of materials such as “fact sheets” or other short documents that highlight housing
issues, challenges, and potential solutions
Presentation materials for community group or stakeholder meetings
Brief online surveys conducted as part of other efforts or on their own.
We expect that these materials will incorporate infographics and other illustrations wherever possible to
convey information quickly and intuitively and provide visual examples of housing conditions and
successful strategies in Lake Oswego and other similar communities.
Key Messages
These key messages summarize the what, who, when, where, why, and how of the process, and
constitute the basic talking points when communicating with the public about the project. The entries
below are a first draft for early phases of the process—they will change and expand as the project
evolves.
What: The City of Lake Oswego is preparing a Housing Needs Analysis (HNA) and Housing
Production Strategy (HPS). This work will describe current housing conditions and plan for how
to address future housing needs, including specific actions that the City and its partners can take
to increase the production of needed housing.
Who: All residents of the City are encouraged to participate in this planning process and will
have many opportunities to provide input, including at Housing Task Force meetings, online
community open houses, and via the City’s website, by phone, or email. Regional housing
partners will also be included in the creation of this plan.
When: This effort began in late 2022 and will conclude in early 2024.
Where: This effort specifically addresses the land inside the City of Lake Oswego.
Why: Cities in Oregon are required to plan for the housing needs of all community members,
and to identify specific actions to ensure that needed housing is produced.
How: This process will be guided by a Housing Task Force, with a diverse membership
representing the Lake Oswego community. It will include an analysis of residential land in the
City, a projection of needed housing, and an evaluation of strategies that the City can use to
meet its current and future housing needs.

Key Stakeholders
The City has identified the following stakeholders:
Builders Advisory Group. This is a group of housing industry stakeholders that the City of Lake Oswego
has reached out to for other projects. These are subject matter experts with diverse opinions and roles
in the world of housing; they will be involved on technical matters.
Affordable Housing Stakeholders. This group was part of recent affordable housing outreach done by
the City. They represent affordable housing advocates, those seeking affordable housing, and neighbors
of affordable housing developments.
Neighborhood Associations. Lake Oswego has several official Neighborhood Associations. Members of
these associations will be invited to participate, and where possible brief presentations can be made to
these organizations to introduce the project and get input.

HOUSING PRODUCTION STRATEGY TASK FORCE MEETING BYLAWS
I. Commitment to Decision-making Process
The Ad Hoc Task Force (“Task Force”) will endeavor to reach consensus on recommendations to comply
with state middle housing requirements.
A consensus process will enable the members to freely discuss issues and to arrive at a decision.
Consensus is a participatory process whereby, on matters of substance, the members strive for
agreements that they can accept, support, live with, or agree not to oppose. Consensus means that no
members voiced objection to the position and they agree not to oppose the position.
Expectations for the decision-making process include:
A. The Task Force agrees that consensus has a high value and that the members should strive to
achieve it.
B. The commitment to work for consensus means that members will participate in the give-and-take
of the process in a way that seeks to understand the interests of all, and will work together to find
solutions workable for all.
C. When consensus cannot be reached, the facilitator or chair may initiate or entertain a motion to
vote on the issue. Members may make motions and seconds. All motions must be seconded to be
acted upon.
D. Votes shall be taken by all present participating members. A vote by two-thirds of the members
present and eligible to vote will be required to approve or advance a policy recommendation.
E. If no consensus is reached on an issue or recommendation, minority positions and any alternatives
considered will be documented. Those with minority opinions are responsible for proposing
alternative solutions or approaches to resolve differences.
F. Meetings will be conducted in a manner deemed appropriate by the chair and facilitator to foster
collaborative decision-making and consensus building. Robert’s Rules of Order will be applied when
deemed appropriate by the chair or facilitator.
G. Task Force members will honor decisions made, including accurately representing Task Force
decisions to the public, and avoid re-opening issues once resolved.
H. Task Force members will strive to make decisions within the agreed-to timeframe.
Meeting notes will be kept documenting decisions of the Task Force. The Task Force will review, make any
corrections to, and then approve the notes. Notes for the final Task Force meeting will be distributed to the
Task Force Chair for their approval.

II. Ground Rules for Conduct of the Task Force
All participants agree to act in good faith in all aspects of the planning process. This includes being honest
and refraining from undertaking any actions that will undermine or threaten this process. It also includes
behavior outside of meetings.
Expectations for behavior of Ad Hoc Task Force participants – including members and project staff –
during and outside of meetings include:
A. Participants agree to be respectful at all times of others. They will listen to each other to seek to
understand the other's perspective, even if they disagree. One person will speak at a time. Side
conversations and other meeting disruptions will be avoided. For virtual/videoconference
meetings, members should have both video and audio functions enabled and refrain from
private/chat conversations.
B. Participants agree to make every effort to bring all aspects of their concerns about these issues into
this process to be addressed.
C. Participants agree to refrain from personal attacks, intentionally undermining the process, and
publicly criticizing or misstating the positions taken by any other participants during the process.
Participants shall maintain a “safe” space for Task Force proceedings, where there is permission to
constructively and respectfully express all perspectives, including unique or opposing viewpoints,
without fear of being met with criticism or recrimination.
D. Any written communications, including e-mails, blogs and other social networking media, will be
mindful of these procedural ground rules and will maintain a respectful tone even if highlighting
different perspectives. Members are reminded that any City government e-mail, blog and other
social networking media is considered public record.
E. Non-members upon registering with City staff may attend virtual/videoconference Ad Hoc Task
Force meetings. The public may also submit written comments for distribution to the Ad Hoc Task
Force, but may not otherwise participate in the Task Force deliberations.
F. Requests for information made outside of meetings will be directed to the City staff. Responses to
such requests will be limited to items that can reasonably be provided within a reasonable amount
of time.
G. All participation in this process is voluntary. A member may withdraw by submitting a written
withdrawal request to the Task Force Chair or City staff project manager. However, members agree
that before withdrawing they will discuss the reason for their withdrawal with the Chair or City staff
and will give the Task Force the opportunity to understand the reasons for withdrawal and to
encourage continued participation, if appropriate.
