In 2002, the Metropolitan Service District (Metro) amended the urban growth boundary (UGB) near Oregon City to include properties east of Beavercreek Road and from Thayer Road south to the Oregon City Golf Course. In June, 2004 the City Commission adopted the Oregon City Comprehensive Plan, which indicated that a majority of these annexed lands should be designated in a manner that encourages family wage jobs (Policy 2.6.8). The concept planning process represents an opportunity to plan for the area in a way that meets the needs of current and future residents. The City has hired a consulting team led by OTAK to prepare the plan and help facilitate the process. The project team will facilitate the meetings and prepare the technical information for the Citizen and Technical Advisory Committees, focus groups, open houses and the design workshop. The planning process is expected to be completed in May, 2007. ________________________________________________

Alternative Plan A and Armature Alternative Plan B and Armature Alternative Plan C and Armature Alternative Plan D and Armature ALTERNATIVE PLAN D : REVISED 12/12/06 Three Preliminary Alternative Concept Plans The preliminary alternatives are conceptual, i.e. generalized. We have used a conceptual style of design to: 1) clearly show the "big" relationships between land use, transportation, and open space; and, 2) efficiently produce the alternatives. It would not be the best use of the team's resources at this time to do highly detailed drawings. Design Workshop Results and Comments Please use the links below to view the 10 conceptual plans and comments created by the participants at the Beavercreek Design Workshop and the diagrammatic sketches of those plans created by OTAK. The diagrams were created by OTAK designers to analyze the workshop participants' ideas regarding land uses, transportation, and open space networks. Ideas from the workshop plans as well as the concept plan goals are guiding the development of the three concept plan alternatives.

Youth Ideas for the Beavercreek Road Concept Plan Area Frequently Asked Questions Question 1: What is a Concept Plan? A Concept Plan is a master plan for land that has not been added to the Urban Growth Boundary, but has not been annexed yet. The Concept Plan map illustrates the design of the land uses, transportation, open space, parks and public facilities. Proposed zoning, environmental protection strategies, public facility cost estimates and similar implementation measures will be part of the Beavercreek Road Concept Plan. Question 2: Why is the City doing a Concept Plan? In the Portland area, all areas added to the Urban Growth Boundary are required by Metro to have a Concept Plan before development. Oregon City policy also requires concept planning prior to development of the Beavercreek Road area. Question 3: How long is the Concept Plan process and when will development start? The Concept Plan process is scheduled to be completed in May of 2007. Adoption of Comprehensive Plan and zoning amendments will follow in summer and early fall, 2007. Most of the Concept Plan area is outside of the current city limits - that area must be annexed prior to development. Assuming annexation occures, the earliest development would happen is 2008.Question 4: Has the City decided to change the existing zoning? No. The Concept Plan is the public planning process that leads to the consideration of city zoning. The Planning Commission and City Commission will review the results at the end of the process and decide whether to initiate further action. Question 5: How big is the study area and how many property owners are involved? The study area contains about 450 acres. Property sizes range from 0.25 to 63 acres. There are 51 properties and 42 property owners. Approximately 200 acres of the site is owned by two families that are working together. Question 6: What is sustainability? There are many definitions. One is: "A sustainable society meets the needs of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Brandtland Commission (Unitied Nations) For this project, sustainable opportunities include mixed use, convenient walking and biking routes, energy efficient buildings, habitat friendly storm water management, community gardens and similar ideas. Question 7: How is traffic congestion being addressed? Studying the traffic issues and proposing solutions is an important part of this process. The plan will address questions like: (a) How can jobs at this location help reduce cross-city and cross-region commuting? (b) How can we design Beavercreek Road for safe pedestrian and bicycle use? (c) What transit opportunities exist? (d) Can selection of certain land uses and designs help reduce traffic problems and provide alternatives to reliance on car travel? Question 8: Why is Employment being discussed? Most of the study area was added to the Urban Growth Boundary by Metro to provide for jobs (a portion is designated for housing). Region-wide, and especially in Clackamas County, there is a shortage of flat, serviced, and marketable land for jobs. Each day, approximately 60% of Clackamas County workers travel to other counties to work. This causes many traffic problems. The questions for our planning process are: (a) What kinds of employment are appropriate? (b) How much should there be, and where? (c) How can employment be a positive part of a complete community? Question 9: How do I get involved or find out more information on the Concept Plan and Process? Three ways: 1) Web: www.orcity.org 2) Email: tkonkol@ci.oregon-city.or.us 3) Phone: Tony Konkol, Senior Planner, 503.496.1562 |
