# Land Use Hearings Officer - Z0085-26 - September 24, 2026

This was a quasi-judicial land use hearing conducted by a hearings officer appointed by the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners on September 24, 2026. The hearing addressed application Z0085-26, a conditional use permit request for a fiber optic utility facility located at 59565 East Highway 26, Sandy, Oregon. The facility includes pre-manufactured buildings housing laser equipment and generators to amplify fiber optic signals along an underground network. County staff recommended approval with conditions, noting the site’s suitability, landscaping plans to buffer the facility from the scenic highway, and compliance with zoning setbacks after minor adjustments. The applicant agreed to the conditions of approval and waived the period for final written argument. No public testimony was provided, and the record was left open until 4 p.m. for any additional submissions. The hearing concluded with the record closing at that time unless further requests were made.
