Planning Commission Meeting, June 10, 2026

The City of Wilsonville Planning Commission held a meeting on June 10, 2026, focusing primarily on two major planning projects: the Basalt Creek Master Plan and the Town Center Building Height Waiver. The Basalt Creek Master Plan discussion covered long-term land use, infrastructure readiness, transportation analysis, and environmental stewardship for one of the city's largest employment growth areas. Staff presented comprehensive plan amendments to support industrial and employment growth, including transportation improvements and phased infrastructure investments. The commission received detailed updates on transportation impacts, coordination with neighboring jurisdictions, and environmental considerations, with further work sessions planned to refine code amendments and implementation strategies. The Town Center Building Height Waiver discussion centered on evaluating options for building height flexibility within mixed-use zones. The task force recommended a preferred alternative (option five) allowing limited height increases with specific conditions, while also considering eliminating the waiver altogether. Commissioners debated the balance between development flexibility, community preferences for building heights, affordable housing incentives, and menu items tied to community benefits. The meeting included deliberations on potential fee-in-lieu mechanisms and the need for clearer, more objective criteria for waiver approvals. No formal votes were taken, but commissioners provided feedback to guide upcoming city council discussions and public hearings scheduled for later in 2026.
