The City proposes to adopt revisions to its existing natural resources regulations, which are established in Milwaukie Municipal Code (MMC) Section 19.402. The proposed amendments include changes that will provide a clear and objective review path for limited disturbance of water quality resources for housing development, integrate the residential tree protections of MMC Chapter 16.32 (Tree Code), simplify the process for verifying habitat conservation areas, and generally improve the functioning and effectiveness of the existing regulations. The amendments will affect properties that include designated natural resource areas.
