Housing

Like other cities in Oregon, the City of West Linn is responsible for helping to ensure that its residents have access diverse housing options that meet the housing needs of residents. To meet current and future housing needs the City will:

Conduct and periodically update an analysis of current and future housing conditions and needs.
Conduct and periodically update an inventory of buildable residential land to ensure that the City has an adequate supply of land zoned for residential use to meet projected future needs.
Regularly update and apply regulations in the City’s Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances to meet housing needs identified in the Comprehensive Plan and supporting documents.
Implement additional strategies to address housing needs in partnership with state and county agencies and other housing organizations.
Coordinate with Metro and other surrounding jurisdictions regarding future amendments to the Portland Metro area urban growth boundary.
