Planning Commission Meeting - 08/13/2024

The City of Milwaukie Oregon Planning Commission held a regular meeting on August 13, 2024. The meeting included approval of previous meeting minutes and informational updates on ongoing city projects, including a follow-up on a transportation service plan expected to advance in 2025. A key procurement-related item was the continued hearing for a downtown design review and variance application for the proposed 1847 Food Park, with the Commission voting unanimously to reopen the record for additional testimony and to continue the hearing to September 10, 2024. The Commission also discussed preparations for the annual joint meeting with Neighborhood District Associations (NDAs), focusing on improving community engagement and transparency in the land use process, including the use of QR codes and training materials. No contract awards or direct purchasing decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussions reflect ongoing planning and community involvement efforts that could influence future procurement and development activities.
