Extension of the 2020 Final Plat approval deadline for Elk Rock Estates (master file #FP-2020-007). Significant delays in plan and document review at the state and county level and extremely limited access to paper records due to the COVID-19 pandemic has made it very difficult to ensure that construction can be completed, inspected, and approved prior to the original approval’s expiration on April 7, 2021. Applicant requests a 6-month extension to the approval of the Final Plat.

Overview

The Sparrow Street Site is a triangle-shaped opportunity site, located at the corner of SE Sparrow Street and SE 26^th Avenue in the Island Station Neighborhood District Association. In March 2019, the city acquired the site from TriMet for $33,287 for the purpose of developing housing to meet the city’s affordable housing goals as outlined in the affordable housing strategy.

Extension of the 2019 approval of a 170-unit senior living facility (master file #CU-2018-003), with natural resource review and variances to the height limit (to allow 4 stories) as well as to specific requirements for pedestrian and vehicular access. Delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lending restrictions have made it difficult to ensure that all permits can be acquired prior to the original approval’s expiration on March 15, 2021.

Milwaukie is home to almost 22,000 people, each of whom has a unique identity that contributes to the tapestry of our community. Our community vision, adopted in 2017, describes a future which is entirely equitable, meaning that all people feel welcome, and no one faces disparities because of who they are. 

City Council adopted equity, inclusion, and justice as a goal in August 2020 in response to the national reckoning around race and policing and reaffirmed this commitment in April 2023.
