Tandler Drive mixed-use apartment project (DR-25-04/LLA-25-02)
Description
A ~320-unit apartment project with ground-floor commercial was recommended for denial by the Planning Commission; the applicant appealed and complained to the state housing office. The council voted 4-1 to have a hearings officer decide the appeal instead of the council itself.
Impact summary
The Planning Commission denied it on Aug 26, 2026.
This is one of West Linn's largest housing proposals, but neighbors worry about traffic, parking, tree loss, steep-slope construction and losing direct access on Tannler Drive.
