# Land Use Hearing - October 27, 2026

The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners held a quasi-judicial land use hearing on October 27, 2026, regarding file Z 015526, an application to designate the Kera Schoolhouse at 22575 South Highway 213 as a local historic landmark and apply a historic landmark overlay to the building’s footprint. Staff reported that the designation would not change the property’s underlying zoning or the previously approved community-center use. The Historic Review Board found the applicable designation criteria met, and staff found the application consistent with the county’s comprehensive-plan and zoning requirements.

The applicant described efforts to secure funding for a foundation and interior work, with the goal of opening the schoolhouse as a community center, and mentioned pursuing grants and possible future national historic status. No county funding, contract, or procurement action was identified. The commission unanimously approved the application on a motion, with staff directed to draft the decision.
