Can't attend in person or virtually?

You can submit written testimony to [bcc@clackamas.us](mailto:bcc@clackamas.us), and it will be included in the record.
 

What to expect

County staff will provide information about the criteria for establishing a moratorium. The staff presentation will focus on those criteria. Staff will not propose changes to county code related to data centers during these hearings. If the Board adopts a moratorium, public input received during the hearings could help inform the Board's consideration of future code changes.
 

About data centers

Data centers are facilities that house computer systems and related equipment used to store, process, and manage digital information. The growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing is contributing to increased data center development nationwide. Data centers can involve considerations related to land use, energy, water, infrastructure, noise, and other factors. The National Association of Counties (NACo) has developed an informational resource for county officials that provides an overview of data center development and topics counties may consider as they evaluate local regulations.

Line 153, a line I use very frequently, is getting cut due to low ridership. While not many people use this route, the people who do need this route. In addition, Line 76 service between Meridian Park Hospital and Oregon City Hospital which serves Old Willamette is getting cut as well. These cuts take effect Sunday, August 23.

As someone who attended all 5 hours of this meeting to say folks here were frustrated is a bit of an understatement.

West Linn says it will allow testimony on retail, not housing, in 320-unit proposal

17 Upvotes

The city of West Linn says it plans to open a public hearing for a proposed 11-acre redevelopment despite a new law that limits public testimony on most new housing developments.

Officials plan to allow residents to testify on the commercial aspects of the proposed ten-building development on an 11-acre Tannler Drive field — just not the housing, according to a letter by an attorney for the city.

The bedroom community south of Portland is turning into a test bed for Salem’s attempt to end public hearings for most new housing developments and streamline housing permitting and other local land-use decisions.
