Overview

In January 2022, City of Milwaukie received more than $2.25 million to complete the development of three neighborhood parks: Balfour Park, Bowman-Brae Park and Scott Park. The funding will add park amenities and equipment, while creating gathering spaces.

The Arts Committee, in partnership with the City of Milwaukie, is looking to commission the creation of an illuminated Bing cherry sculpture to be used as part of a New Year’s Eve “ball” drop on Dec. 31, 2022 in downtown Milwaukie. The Arts Committee is requesting quotes from artists and fabricators who can create a cherry that will be raised and lowered for this event, and used for years to come. The deadline to submit proposals is Friday, Feb. 18.

Due to Covid-19, the building division is not currently inspecting occupied structures in person. If you have an occupied structure, please upload photos or video showing the work done for the inspection requested. If there are more than three photos, a zip file of the photos is preferred. After uploading the photos or video, request an inspection and note in the comments area that photos or video have been uploaded. For vacant structures (with no personal belongings or furniture) request your inspection and note in the comments area that the structure is vacant.

Beginning Jan. 5, the Johnson Creek Building (6101 SE Johnson Creek Rd.) is temporarily closed to the public due to rising COVID-19 cases and staff shortages. This closure is in effect until Thursday, Jan. 20. Planning, building and public works staff will continue to be available by phone and email, and many services can be completed online.

Several sections of the boat dock in Milwaukie Bay Park were removed by North Clackamas Parks & Recreation District (NCPRD) in November 2021 for winter storage. A portion of the dock, however, will still remain in the water for public use. The dock sections will be returned in 2022 following spring rains and after the threat of river debris has decreased.

This preventative action is taken annually to assist in the longevity of the dock pilings and structures. For questions, please call NCPRD at 503.794.8030.

The proposal is a 6-story multi-unit building with 55 workforce dwelling units. The proposed development does not include any on-site vehicular parking (but does include bicycle parking), so a parking modification is requested to allow no on-site parking. 43 off-site parking spaces are proposed on two different properties in the downtown for lease to tenants of the proposed building. The building height complies with the maximum measured building height, but at 6 stories (not the max. 5 stories) a height variance is required.
