Top issues during term (11)(Development)
Demolition of historic garage at 1064 14th Street
Costs fall on the applicant for demolition, greenhouse construction, and any conditions like preserving original materials.
Customs House Workforce Housing Redevelopment
Homes priced roughly $230,000–$300,000 (average ~$270,000), and a city investment will be required as part of the development agreement.
Housing Capacity Analysis and 20-year housing need
The study is funded by a state grant from DLCD, so no direct local cost was discussed.
Columbia Memorial Hospital street vacation
City receives ~$232,000 in lease-termination value for the General Fund.
Darigold redevelopment on hold
Parking requirements are driving up total project cost, delaying the RFP.
Film-history mural at former Darigold building
The county board committed $225,000 to the Oregon Film Museum, with the mural supporting that tourism investment.
Copeland Commons Affordable Housing Infrastructure
$550,599 state grant with no local match required for eligible construction and management costs.
Stabilization of historic Suomi Hall
$50,000 in urban renewal funds, part of a roughly $330,000 project mostly paid for by private fundraising.
Astor East Urban Renewal expansion for workforce housing
Tax-increment financing covers it; a transit district loses about $40,000 in revenue through 2034.
Development Review and Permitting Reform
Fixing the process may require new staff resources, possibly a dedicated development review engineer.
Community Development 2026 Workplan
Major projects add little to the tax rolls, but the workload is straining and reshaping the department.
