Planning Commission - 26 October 2026

The City of Sandy Planning Commission held a public hearing on the mandatory code amendments implementing Oregon House Bill 2138 (the meeting title gives October 26, 2026; the metadata timestamp is October 27). The commission unanimously voted to recommend the amendments to the City Council. The changes address detached duplexes and single-room occupancies, bonus units for accessible or affordable middle housing, and limits on when traffic impact studies may be required. Discussion also covered parking requirements for single-room occupancies, including unassigned spaces; no contract awards, purchases, or procurement spending were identified.

Staff previewed other land-use code amendments expected after the new year, including legislation concerning who makes land-use hearing decisions. A commissioner also reported that the county commission was proceeding with a moratorium on data centers; this was discussion only, not an action by the Sandy Planning Commission. No procurement activity was identified.
