City Council Work Session and Regular Meeting, August 17, 2026

The City Council of Wilsonville, Oregon, held a work session and regular meeting on August 17, 2026, focusing extensively on the Basalt Creek master plan and its implementing amendments. Key procurement-related discussions included concerns raised by Schnitzer Properties regarding the proposed zoning and development code, particularly the extension of the Coffee Creek overlay zone to Basalt Creek, which may inhibit development due to restrictive standards requiring waivers. Council members debated the need for further stakeholder engagement and potential code revisions, with staff indicating that adopting the zoning map amendment is necessary to enable development applications, while a larger code revision project could be considered in the following year. Additionally, the council approved a settlement and release agreement with Zurich related to the public works complex construction project and authorized the city manager to negotiate with TriMet on transit boundary adjustments and service agreements. The meeting also included presentations on tourism accessibility initiatives and community survey results, but no direct contract awards or RFPs were reported. Motions passed included ratifying a planning commission appointment and approving the settlement agreement and negotiation authorization.
