Planning Commission Meeting - July 13, 2026

The Clackamas County Planning Commission held a meeting on July 13, 2026, primarily focused on a public hearing regarding a comprehensive plan map amendment and zone change application by M&S Investments LLC. The proposal sought to rezone a portion of a former mill site from Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) to Rural Industrial, leveraging a specific state statute for abandoned or diminished mill sites. Staff and the applicant discussed conditions related to limiting industrial uses to those compatible with traffic capacity, with a focus on maintaining existing building square footage to avoid traffic impacts. The commission deliberated on environmental concerns, traffic studies, and the local impact of the rezoning, ultimately voting unanimously to recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners. Additionally, the meeting included introductions of new commissioners, approval of minutes, officer elections, and discussions about upcoming planning code amendments and legislative advocacy strategies. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made, but the rezoning could facilitate future industrial leasing and development opportunities on the site.
