Bend Landmarks Commission Meeting - 02/17/26 - 6:00 PM

The Bend Landmarks Commission held a meeting on February 17, 2026, primarily focused on a quasi-judicial public hearing regarding a historic review application (PLHIS20250542) for a 1.5-story addition to an existing single-family dwelling in the Oldtown Historic District. The commission discussed architectural compatibility, sighting, materials, and landscaping impacts, with staff recommending approval subject to conditions including submission of window and door cut sheets and photographic documentation of details. The commission voted to approve the application with amended conditions delegated to staff for review to avoid construction delays. Additionally, the commission discussed future goals aligned with city council priorities, challenges related to wildfire mitigation codes affecting historic properties, and advocacy efforts for historic preservation, including National Register nominations and legislative monitoring. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were reported during the meeting.
