Date of Preapplication Conference
March 6, 2025

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.

Proposal: The “parent” lot will be developed with a detached quadplex (4 separated dwelling units), as is allowed by right in the underlying Moderate Density Residential (R-MD) zone. The proposed action will place each new dwelling on its own sub-lot, but the parent lot will remain a quadplex development for purposes of zoning.
