Town Center Building Height Waiver Task Force Meeting, April 21, 2026

The City of Wilsonville, Oregon, convened the Town Center Building Height Waiver Task Force on April 21, 2026, to discuss potential amendments to building height regulations and waiver provisions within the town center plan. The meeting focused on reviewing various options for height waivers, including the allowance of additional stories for affordable housing projects, and how these align with community feedback and the city’s long-term vision. Task force members engaged in breakout group discussions to evaluate the pros and cons of different waiver options, including limiting height increases in certain areas and the implications for mixed-use developments. There was also consideration of how menu items tied to waivers, such as affordable housing bonuses and community benefits, could be adjusted to better meet development and community goals. The task force discussed the challenges of financing mixed-income housing and the importance of maintaining clarity and consistency with the town center plan. No formal votes were recorded, but the group identified preferences and potential new options to present to the planning commission and city council in upcoming meetings. The discussion also touched on parking regulations and the impact of state laws on local control. The task force planned to provide feedback to the planning commission on May 13 and the city council on May 18, with a follow-up task force meeting scheduled for May 9.
