City Commission Regular Session - October 21, 2026

The Oregon City City Commission regular session on October 21, 2026, approved the first reading of Ordinance 26-1015, amending the municipal code provisions for system development charges (SDCs). The changes would allow SDC payment to be delayed until shortly before occupancy, exempt certain projects under 200 square feet or not requiring a building permit, and calculate reductions using the property’s most intensive prior use rather than its most recent use. Commissioners also noted that the existing longer-term deferral option uses a Bancroft financing agreement at 9% interest over ten years. The first reading passed unanimously; the transcript identifies no contract awards, vendor selections, or new spending allocations.

The Commission unanimously approved the second readings of Ordinance 26-1013, vacating portions of public right-of-way, and Ordinance 26-1010, revising street-tree penalties. It also approved an amendment to candidate filing provisions to align the definition of an incumbent with state law. No other procurement activity was identified.
