Background - HNA
•Housing Needs Analysis (HNA) was
adopted in 2023. The HNA looks at the
community’s 20-year housing needs and
whether there is enough land in the city to
meet those needs.
Background - HNA
•HNA identified need for additional
housing capacity.Lake Oswego will
need nearly 2,000 new housing units
by 2043 to meet projected demand.
•There is a shortage of buildable
residential land across all zone types
(low- to high-density) to meet the 20-
year housing need in Lake Oswego (a
deficit of 86 total acres).

Background – HPS
•The City’s Housing Production Strategy (HPS) was
adopted in Nov 2024.
•Rezoning identified in the Housing Production Strategy
HPS Rezone Land Strategy
•Involves rezoning commercial or other non-residentially
zoned properties to allow for housing development in those
areas, especially MF housing.
•It could also involve rezoning lower-density areas to allow for
higher-density housing.
•This strategy addresses the fact that the city faces a shortage
of residential land across all zones to meet housing needs.
•Prioritizes rezoning in areas with the greatest potential for
higher density MF housing – including areas where
nonresidential uses are underutilized.
•City is using a phased approach that first looks at
nonresidential zones, then looks at possibly upzoning lower-
density areas in a later phase.
