Planning staff and consultant Daniel Pauley presented the ordinance and noted that much of the city is already subject to the state transit‑proximity rule, which limits local minimum parking requirements within specified distances of transit stations and frequent bus routes. The package before council removes minimum parking requirements citywide, updates EV‑ready parking requirements for multifamily and mixed‑use projects, and establishes new parking‑lot design standards focused on canopy and sustainability.

Pauley told council the CFEC rules offer two options for meeting parking‑lot canopy requirements: a 40% tree‑canopy standard for lots over 40 spaces, or a 30% canopy standard combined with an option to install solar panels in lieu of part of the tree requirement. After discussion with the Planning Commission and staff, council adopted the option that allows a 30% canopy with a solar‑panel alternative for the portion of the canopy requirement that would otherwise reach 40%.

Staff noted that smaller lots (under 40 spaces) and very large lots (over 200 spaces) already have clear local standards; the middle tier (40–200 spaces) required the most adjustment. The ordinance also fixes a minor drafting omission in the code language that clarifies how mixed‑use parking calculations are summed.

The Planning Commission unanimously recommended adoption. After brief council discussion acknowledging the state mandate and local tradeoffs, council voted 5–0 to approve the ordinance on first reading with the staff amendment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Work Session and Regular Meeting, July 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After a staff presentation and unanimous Planning Commission recommendation, the council approved on first reading amendments to align local parking standards with Oregon's Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities rules; the vote removes minimum parking requirements citywide and adds parking‑lot tree or solar options.","taxTitle","Wilsonville, Clackamas County, Oregon","taxId",70310,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6161767,"Wilsonville outlines hybrid approach to RV and abandoned‑vehicle enforcement; council backs outreach and code updates",4337,2654000,6991000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5441627-45cab832dcb78d1fc8081aed7ff1c170&start=2654&end=6991","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5441627-45cab832dcb78d1fc8081aed7ff1c170/thumbnail_2654000.jpg","/articles/6161767/Wilsonville/Clackamas-County/Oregon/Wilsonville-outlines-hybrid-approach-to-RV-and-abandonedvehicle-enforcement-council-backs-outreach-and-code-updates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161767-071b7896f9db9684d85643284a372704/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445300&Signature=mAUBX5x7kFngbkLr1MoJgADXkcF6Fx01~3YMCEwplIN-KbiuJY96HUzgP0k32Gvp6ZX2Zq-ejrBTJKShN3Hyg6wrjtMhm1wh5VE4QWo5h1Nfo9o6Ih3xyosnijfkwvMqq5v9DeGJQ5qbIEBUG2aBtnRhloCsqMvXiYIm93mYzOVKq-R1U4flZqcfiqicJWcdg~3J1lIRzoOZdgw3BkyXaSa2r6QiXINuWpqNfxtoRNjsvsyHLzghyqU0EEDwAujYQMSUmpCzp4~DmBNL9tszYJo7vtN5qhpkBI56t69n9wRGJBUkmhBYnpPQkcDg8seS5EH2o8a3IDP~nvPnv9yk~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wilsonville city staff presented an update Monday on possible enforcement changes for long‑term parking, RVs and abandoned vehicles and received council direction to pursue targeted outreach and code updates rather than immediate citywide sweeps.

City attorney Amanda Veil Hinman and acting law clerk Hannah Young introduced a work plan that grew from a council goal to streamline public‑safety and code‑enforcement responses. Staff framed the problem as a mix of complaints about vehicles parked on public streets, complexity and cost of towing RVs (which often require special towing, storage and hazardous‑waste handling for gray/black water), and limitations in the current 72‑hour city code for on‑street parking.

Staff outlined four alternatives for council feedback: (1) tighten the current 72‑hour rule by adding a minimum time a vehicle must remain away before returning (72+24); (2) zone‑specific parking time limits (shorter limits in residential or high‑conflict areas, longer in industrial zones); (3) an RV parking‑permit program similar to programs in Gresham, Sandy, Keizer and McMinnville; and (4) broadened abandoned‑vehicle definitions to include triggers such as expired tags, inoperative condition or appearing dismantled.

Hannah Young summarized research on other Oregon cities, data the police department has tracked on parking complaints and RV calls, and the administrative tradeoffs associated with each option. She said RV calls average roughly one to two per month in police data and 72‑hour abandoned vehicle calls averaged about 11 per month, though she cautioned the police log does not capture all code‑compliance reports and therefore undercounts total community concern.

Council discussion emphasized a hybrid approach. Councilors and staff agreed to drop option (1) — the 72+24 return‑time concept — because it was likely to encourage a ‘‘cat‑and‑mouse’’ response and would be difficult to enforce. Council expressed interest in pursuing zone‑based limits, a targeted RV permit program and clearer abandoned‑vehicle definitions. Councilors also prioritized strong education and stepped enforcement to balance compassion and accountability: Councilor Cunningham urged deputies and code staff to begin with outreach and pamphlets before towing; Councilor Dunwell emphasized the need to address budget implications for expensive RV tows (staff estimated $7,000–$10,000 per tow) and to coordinate with social‑service partners before removal actions.

Staff stressed capacity limits: programs that work elsewhere often rely on larger code‑compliance staffs. Amanda Veil Hinman said the city could begin with complaint‑driven enforcement, make code updates first (lowest‑cost), and then scale up resources if council chooses a more proactive approach; she suggested establishing a dedicated abatement fund and presenting resource implications in next year’s budget. Council directed staff to proceed to broad community outreach via the city’s \"Let’s Talk Wilsonville\" platform, a questionnaire, stakeholder interviews (including owners of RVs, HOAs, businesses, public‑safety agencies) and in‑person interviews with those directly affected. Staff will return with results and proposed language for ordinances and administrative rules.

No ordinance or immediate towing policy change was adopted Monday; council sought community feedback and asked staff to develop draft code language and cost estimates for council consideration.","City staff presented four enforcement alternatives — including an RV permit program, zoning‑specific time limits and revised abandoned‑vehicle definitions — and council directed staff to remove one option and pursue community outreach and code changes.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6161769,"Wilsonville council backs staff to advance Coffee Creek land‑assembly plan",1152,526000,1678000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5441627-45cab832dcb78d1fc8081aed7ff1c170&start=526&end=1678","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5441627-45cab832dcb78d1fc8081aed7ff1c170/thumbnail_526000.jpg","/articles/6161769/Wilsonville/Clackamas-County/Oregon/Wilsonville-council-backs-staff-to-advance-Coffee-Creek-landassembly-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161769-997b7ed369efb71a84d31e46eb63f87e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445300&Signature=dGUxqweAxzIDX6ijog0irQUlz7gljJ73ToI9v2hQjtBfb2TdhSlSYA~vp-kCEhNap4~7sqbECSbAMaze5l8ET5-Ix~zPgovKNxxNvBgXFoUMYPKTFL0TGody7SsPFLgHTNa-Etho8Cj0O8txOAEX3HOj46YSc4dHE325ir9uD-Hk8Zhwc1nzXUyS91rFnQZ3SUMtR20XaoMX1cz7Z2z4ZcpdkWQdT6wwejYQTExWNBjTe2p2mnC0KoSpaIiFptbydSd3LgDsGAd68IWPEgib0en-DV1U2369HjFztadyzBalkTzaj-ObIaDTwUeXK5bDAic~dsTlc3ow0EDaOyBFWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wilsonville officials agreed Monday to let staff continue administrative work on a proposed land‑assembly strategy aimed at accelerating industrial development in the Coffee Creek area.

Economic development manager Matt Lorenzen told the City Council the Coffee Creek Industrial area has seen decades of intermittent efforts but only limited large‑scale development, and now faces three main barriers: fragmented parcel ownership, ‘sticky’ interim uses (gravel and contractor yards) that generate steady cash flow for owners, and a persistent valuation gap between what owners demand and what developers can afford. He proposed using the Coffee Creek Urban Renewal Agency to acquire adjacent parcels from willing sellers, assemble development‑ready sites and then issue disposition and development agreements to private developers.

Lorenzen said the city would not use condemnation or eminent domain, and that acquisitions would be from willing sellers only. He described a reimbursement path through Business Oregon’s Regionally Significant Industrial Sites (RSIS) program: the agency could cover a portion of the valuation gap up front using urban renewal funds and seek RSIS reimbursement after developers create jobs on the site. \"This is all about folks that are willing to sell,\" Lorenzen said. He also told council that any land purchases or disposition would require subsequent council authorization.

The proposal would require several follow‑up steps if property opportunities arise: a minor amendment template to the Coffee Creek Urban Renewal Plan, an amendment to the city’s RSIS contract with the state to explicitly allow land assembly as an eligible reimbursable activity, and disposition and development agreements that pass risk to buyers where appropriate. Lorenzen said the Coffee Creek Urban Renewal area has a statutory maximum indebtedness of $67,000,000; roughly $5–7 million has already been spent on the Garden Acres Road project, he said, and proceeds from property sales are returned to the urban renewal fund and can be re‑spent.

Councilors asked about examples, risk and timing. Councilor Shevlin said incentives such as RSIS sounded like the mechanism she had in mind; Councilor Dunwell asked whether RSIS relied on federal funding and was told RSIS is funded with state lottery dollars; Councilor Cunningham noted the importance of targeting owner‑users rather than pure speculative buyers. Lorenzen repeatedly framed the approach as a measured, administrative step now to preserve options: if council directed staff to proceed, the immediate work would be limited to preparing agreements and processes rather than buying property.

At the end of the presentation, Lorenzen asked whether council wanted staff to proceed with preparatory work; council responded in the affirmative. The direction given was administrative only — additional property‑specific purchases or commitments would return to council for approval.

What happens next: staff will pursue a minor amendment to the RISIS contract, prepare a template minor amendment to the Coffee Creek Urban Renewal Plan to be used on a property‑by‑property basis, and keep the council informed if specific willing parcels become available.","City staff briefed the council on a targeted land‑assembly strategy using Coffee Creek Urban Renewal funds and state RSIS reimbursement to bridge valuation gaps; council gave consensus to proceed with preparatory administrative work only.","actionData","errors"]
