Neighborhood Plan
In 1993, the City Council adopted a Neighborhood Planning Program
to provide neighborhoods in Lake Oswego an opportunity to develop a vision and
corresponding customized guidance on matters of land use, building and site design
and capital expenditures. The Neighborhood Planning Program was designed to go
beyond the general guidance provided by the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies,
in order to address more localized and specific neighborhood needs. First Addition
was one of two neighborhoods initially selected to develop a neighborhood plan
for fiscal year 1994/95. The First Addition Neighborhood Plan was approved at
the end of 1996.
The Neighborhood Plan, as a set of goals, policies and recommended
action measures has become part of the Comprehensive Plan. It is somewhat more
specific than other chapters of the Comprehensive Plan, but it reinforces and
complies with other comprehensive plan policies. These goals and policies will
provide overall guidance to the development of new regulations which will be binding
on future development in the neighborhood. Status as a part of the Comprehensive
Plan assures that the goals and policies will be carefully weighed as part of
the future consideration of changes in land use designations and regulations within
the neighborhood.
