Local Adjustment Process Handout

SENATE BILL 1537: HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Local Adjustment Pathways
Lake Oswego offers multiple ways to request an adjustment. This Local Adjustment Process Handout outlines the procedures and criteria, but broadly. Whether a standard applies, and what type of adjustment process is available, will depend on many variables. If you have a specific site or project to discuss, we recommend that you contact the Planner on Duty (planning@lakeoswego.city or 503-635-0290). 

Limited Availability of Mandatory Adjustments
There are limited cases where City regulations are superseded by SB 1537, specifically adjustments to Special Street Setbacks, City Charter Height Limit, and Maximum Unit Density. In these cases, additional design and dimensional flexibility may be available for eligible housing projects. See Part 6 of the Local Adjustment Process Handout.
