Milwaukie Planning Commission Meeting 12/09/2025

The City of Milwaukie Oregon Planning Commission held a meeting on December 9, 2025, primarily focused on proposed housekeeping code amendments related to land use and zoning regulations. Key procurement-related discussions included updates to middle housing land division processes, revisions to setback requirements for townhouse developments to encourage more efficient land use, and clarifications on definitions and design standards for cottage clusters and accessory dwelling units. The commission discussed potential future policy considerations, such as allowing stacked cottages, but deferred those for later review. The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the code amendment package to the city council. Staff also previewed upcoming code amendment projects, including private street development standards and high-density residential zone updates, which may involve consultant support. No contract awards or vendor selections were reported during this meeting.
