TO: Lake Oswego Planning Commission
FROM: Sidaro Sin, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Update—Quarterly Update(PP 10-0007)
DATE: June 6,2011
ACTION
No action is required. This quarterly update is provided as an informational item.
BACKGROUND
The last quarterly update was provided in March at a joint meeting with the City Council.
DISCUSSION
We are almost 12 months into the Comprehensive Plan update since the first big community kick-off event at
the Luscher Farm Centennial Celebration in July 2010. The following discussion provides an update on
milestones, current activities and next steps.
Milestones
Lake Oswego Community Vision for 2035—On February 15 the City Council reviewed the draft vision
statement. Four of seven Council members acknowledged that the vision statement was moving in the right
direction. Council members recognized the time and effort that went into the draft vision and also provided
direction for refining the vision. On March 14,the Planning Commission reviewed the draft statement and
also provided direction.A few residents provided comments on the vision at the March 29 open house.
On May 19,the CAC reviewed the input received and amended the draft vision statement (Attachment 1)to
reflect some of the comments made. Subsequent to the May 19 meeting, additional comments on the vision
were received from a Planning Commissioner. Those comments will be forwarded to the CAC at their June 22
meeting for their consideration.
Sustainability Framework —At the April 11,2011 joint meeting between the City Council and Planning
Commission,four of seven Council members supported use of the sustainability filter in the Comprehensive
Plan update process. In addition to the draft community vision and preferred scenario,the CAC will use the
filter to inform their review of the Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies. The filter is comprised of four
strategic questions that are intended to be applied at key points throughout the update process:
I
Page 2
1)Consistency with the community vision statement;
2)Consistency with the sustainability principles;
3)Whether the proposal is a good fiscal investment or presents a risk;and
4)Whether the proposal provides a flexible platform to move the community towards sustainability.
The CAC is scheduled to review the Comprehensive Plan goals/policies starting this summer and end by spring
2012.
Goal 11 (Public Facilities Plans)—Updates that will be completed as part of the City's Periodic Review
requirements include the Wastewater Master Plan (insert status),Water Vulnerability Assessment Report
(VAP)& Emergency Response Plan (ERP), and storm water code and design manual. On May 17, 2011,the
City Council awarded a contract in the amount of$207,933 to begin work on the update to the storm water
design manual and related municipal code. The scope implements recommendations that came out of the
2009 Clean Streams Plan. The project is scheduled to be completed by November 2012.
Goal 9(Economic Development)& 10(Housing)—Over the past five months, Planning staff has been working
with the CAC,Planning Commission and Goal 9& 10 Work Group to develop a draft Economic Opportunities
Analysis(EOA) and a draft Housing Needs Analysis (HNA). These reports outline the technical information
related to the City's economic and housing conditions and trends, and will be used to inform policy discussions
as the CAC, Planning Commission and City Council begin to update the housing and economic components of
the Comprehensive Plan later this year.The draft reports were submitted to the Department of Land
Conservation and Development(DLCD) on May 31 to comply with a$74k grant awarded to the City for this
work.Staff will schedule a Study Session with the Council later this summer to get their input on these topics
and findings prior to exploring goal and policy updates.
Current Activities
At the March 29 open house,the CAC introduced the community to three scenarios that offer different
approaches for meeting the community vision: Existing Comprehensive Plan,Village Centers, and LOconomy.
Community members were asked if these were the right scenarios to pursue for further assessment. Based on
the community feedback,the CAC directed staff to further assess these scenarios to determine which scenario
best implemented the community vision.
At the June 2 open house,the CAC asked the community,which scenario best implements the community
vision for each of the vision's seven action areas? The results of the June 2 open house are currently being
compiled. The results will be presented at the June 13 Commission meeting.
Next Steps:
• 6/22—CAC meeting to discuss Council recommendation on a preferred scenario
• 7/19—Council receives CAC preferred scenario recommendation
Summer 2011/Spring 2012—Review and update Comprehensive Plan goals and policies
