Planning Commission - public_hearing

All right. There we go. I will now call to order the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners land use hearing on August 4th, 2026. Clerk, will you please call the poll for us?

Thank you. Clerk, will you introduce the item under consideration today and explain this hearing order for us?

Thank you. That was very informative. And I turn to my colleagues if they have any questions. Go ahead, Commissioner Hall.

Are there, if this were to go through, do they have to do any building code Changes, since it's changing the use to industrial because some of these buildings are so old, is there another process they have to go through to meet new codes?

Any other questions? Not seeing any other questions. We'll move to the public testimony portion. So I will now open the meeting for public testimony and I'll ask our clerk to moderate that in-person virtual testimony for us. Clerk?

Hold on, we've got a technical problem we'll solve here. We want to make sure we hear everything.

Great. Thank you. I had one question. This kiln-dried process that they have out there, obviously I know freshly cut wood, they want to dry it like that. Could you just talk about what they're using that for? Do you know much about that?

Just, yeah, a little different. Yeah, it looks like a fantastic piece of property. So any other questions? Did you have one? No. No.

All right. I think that's all we have unless you have any other comments.

Thank you. I will now close the public testimony and we'll proceed to our deliberations. Are there any, first of all, any comments from our commissioners?

All right. Commissioner Savas has moved to approve file number Z0437-25 and Z0438-25 as recommended by staff and the Planning Commission. Commissioner Helmes seconded that motion. Is there any further discussion? Seeing none, clerk, will you please call the poll?

All right, thank you. I'll now direct staff to draft in order reflecting the decision and include it on the agenda for the board's adoption at our upcoming business meeting. And Council, do you need anything else from the board on this matter at this time? No, Chair. All right. Well, that concludes our land use hearing. Congratulations on all your hard work, and we definitely support small business, and we hope things improve for you in that area. So thank you very much. And let's see what we have next. Gary's back in here.

Can I just do a real quick update? Yes, you may. Because I just got a text from someone in the Mount Hood area that said just an update, the Level 1 EVAC is now from Lolo Pass Road, which is where the U.S. Forest Service building is, to government camp. So just an update.

So I think unless there's any other comments, we'll go ahead and take a recess.

Want to come back at 1.30? Sure. Set the nod? Yeah. All right. So we'll recess until 1.30, and thank you all for joining us.
