Evergreen *, Waluga *, FANFH *, Lake Forest*, Old Town, * Uplands and North Shore Country Club want a pause We want a big picture best it if LO adopts cohousing code * hard copy requests were submitted to PC work session 7/13/20 5 Lake Oswego current code is not substandard - Our current definition: Dwelling Unit One or more habitable rooms which are occupied or which are intended or designed to be occupied by one family with housekeeping facilities for living, sleeping, sanitary facilities, cooking and eating. - The City of West Linn also has similar code that does not currently allow for cohousing. Confirmed with West Linn Planning Department. - HB2001 Does not direct a definition of Dwelling Unit. Confirmed with DLCD Ethan Stuckmeyer 6 Proposed code is substandard Proposed definition for `Dwelling Unit' One or more habitable rooms which are occupied or which are intended or designed to be occupied by one family with housekeeping facilities for living, sleeping, sanitary facilities, cooking and eating, except that living facilities, such as cooking, eating and sanitary facility areas may be communal in a cohousing community. What would this proposed code allow ? ? ? ? one toilet per 2 dwelling units ? one toilet per 5 dwelling units ? one toilet per 10 dwelling units ? one toilet per 15 dwelling units The City of Portland has an answer 7 Charter, Code and Policies, City of Portland Chapter 29.30 In hotels and apartment houses where private toilets, lavatories, or baths are not provided, there shall be on each floor at least one toilet, one lavatory, and one bathtub or shower each provided at the rate of one for every twelve residents or fraction of twelve residents. Required toilets, bathtubs, and showers shall be in a room, or rooms, that allow privacy. Workforce housing, Affordable housing or Cohousing snould not be Substandard housing - LO monitoring number of residents? ? ? - Clearly cannot be left to market forces... LO should not adopt proposed, poorly vetted code! $ The wrap up - Simplify the R6 code and align it with the rest of the City by adopting the R6 code changes - Remove all proposed co-housing code changes from Annual Code Updates ( remove the new definitions for l . uweiling Unit, 2 . Dwelling, Multifamily and 3 . Cohousing Community definition )
