Top issues during term (15)(Development)
Tax Increment Assistance policy for housing affordability
Exemptions would lower construction costs for qualifying affordable and middle-income homes but shrink fee revenue and policy coverage.
Bend's eight-year housing need and safe harbors
No direct cost, but the shortfall shapes future city housing spending, SDC/fee policy, and state advocacy; federal PRO Housing grant work continues.
Caldera Ranch growth boundary expansion
Development-driven road, sewer and water improvements will be largely developer-funded, but city CIP projects like a future China Hat/Knott roundabout have no funding yet.
development infrastructure requirements
Affects development fees paid on new construction citywide.
Affordable housing progress at Summit area
The project could reduce housing-cost pressure on school employees, but the source doesn’t detail the public subsidy, total cost, or financing mix.
Hayden Homes Legacy Village financing request
Millions from the land sale go to Oregon's common school fund, plus developer-funded off-site road and roundabout improvements.
Restructuring the City's Equity Program
The plan includes a net addition of one full-time position plus an expanded consultant contract; specific costs weren't detailed.
Southeast UGB expansion: plan map amendment and 66.46-acre annexation
Copperwood Crossing annexation and plan map amendment
Development will trigger transportation mitigation fees, off-site roundabout requirements, and infrastructure extensions paid through the annexation agreement.
Petrosa affordable housing dispute (Bella Pines)
The city chose the Petrosa site over ten other applicants for affordable housing funding; residents warn it could depress nearby home values and commercial development.
Site-specific TIF clawback provisions
A developer default could return millions in clawback fees to housing programs, plus the TIF revenue back to taxing districts.
Timber Yards master plan revision
Reduced transportation mitigation obligations for the developer; construction could begin this fall.
Bend Growth Plan Phase 1
Up to $2,898,459 this biennium within the budgeted materials and services line.
housing crisis / GIS technology
It could help the city spend planning dollars more wisely and steer housing toward where it’s needed, but it won’t instantly lower rents.
housing inequality report
The report itself doesn’t come with a price tag, but it could steer Bend’s housing dollars toward affordability programs and away from business as usual.
