Commercial land supply in West Linn

Summary

Opponents argued the project effectively converts the city's largest piece of commercially zoned land to residential, calling it a de facto zone change. They noted only about 3% of West Linn is zoned commercial and that every comprehensive plan since 1983 has targeted the I-205/10th Street area for office-business use.
