14 2025 (Exhibit D-001), with all exhibits attached thereto, the staff memorandum to the

16 Findings, Conclusions and Order for LU 25-0029 (Exhibit B-001), together with the following
17 supplemental findings of the City Council. If there is any inconsistency between the
18 supplemental findings and the incorporated materials, the supplemental findings control.
19 Following are the supplemental findings of the City Council:
20 1. Comprehensive Plan Land Use Planning Policies E-1(f) and E-2(b)(ii). The

22 the applicable City of Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan Land Use Planning Policies E-1(f) and E-
23 2(b)(ii). These policies were previously raised at the Planning Commission hearing and are
24 addressed in the Applicant's Narrative (Exhibit F-001) on pages 19-21 and in the Staff Report
25 (Exhibit D-001) on pages 10-11. Public need for housing, related to Policy E-1(f), is also

with the Commission's findings.
