Planning Commission - 30 March 2026

The City of Sandy, Oregon Planning Commission held a meeting on March 30, 2026, focusing primarily on long-range planning objectives, code amendments, and compliance with state legislation. Key procurement-related discussions included the upcoming release and adoption of Moratorium 5.0, which outlines the distribution program for 190 Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs) related to wastewater system capacity. The commission discussed the competitive nature of ERU allocation and the potential need for deadlines to prevent hoarding. Additionally, the commission reviewed proposed code amendments to comply with Oregon House Bill 2005, which affects land use regulations for mental health facilities, residential homes, and residential care facilities. These amendments were recommended for approval and forwarded to the city council. The meeting also included a work session on civil infraction code updates, focusing on fine classifications and removal of outdated provisions, aiming to align local codes with current state laws and judicial discretion. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the wastewater system updates and ERU distribution program may lead to future procurement activities related to infrastructure improvements.
