Nature of Application and Proposed Legislative Amendments:
A request by the City of Lake Oswego for legislative amendments (Ordinance 2695) to the Utility Code (LOC Ch. 38) and Community Development Code (LOC Ch. 50) which are designed to meet requirements of the City’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit, and to improve stormwater management practices in development and redevelopment within the City. The Planning Commission considered these proposed amendments at a hearing on November 23, 2015 and December 14, 2015. The Commission recommends that City Council adopt the approved amendments reflected in Attachments A and B to Ordinance 2695.
In addition, the City Council is being asked to consider amendments to sections of LOC Article 52 (Ordinance 2696) to clarify qualifications, expertise and techniques with respect to implementing erosion control permits. This item was not discussed by the Planning Commission as it was not considered to be a land use matter, though it was provided as background material.
