to Downtown Commercial,
Multi-Family Residential,
North Sisters Business Park,
and Open Space.
Mardell outlined for the
commissioners what some of
the changes would look like
for the 35.89-acre parcel.
The Comprehensive Map
would include 25.06 acres
of residential multi-family,
4.96 acres North Sisters
Business Park, 3.85 acres
open space, and 1.97 acres
downtown commercial.
The two acres of
Downtown Commercial
along Highway 20 would
allow for businesses as well
as apartments and condos
to act as buffers from the
highway. The northern five
acres would provide a buffer
zone of Light Industrial and
live/work housing across
Barclay from the other Light
Industrial development cur-
rently under review. The
west corner by the Highway
20/Barclay roundabout, des-
ignated Open Space, could
be used for park amenities.
Paul Hodge, of Laird
SuperFood, and one of the
partners in PX2, the appli-
cants, talked about the need
to diversify the Sisters
economy and the need to
provide housing for work-
ers and their families. Hodge
pointed out the statistic that
only 14 percent of people
who work in Sisters live
here.
<We d o n 9t w a n t t o
change the community,=
said Hodge9s partner Paul
Schneider, a 20-year resi-
dent of Sisters. <We want
to expand on it, providing
workforce housing.=
Kevin Eckert, the
architect for the Sisters
Woodlands, believes they
will be providing responsible
growth with no change to the
city limits. He said they are
committed to careful inte-
gration into the community.
Commissioners had a
range of questions and con-
cerns for both staff and the
applicants. They ranged
from concern over impacts
to livability, to how can
they be sure that houses
go to intended workers
and not investors. Hodge
answered, saying that Laird
is looking at a housing assis-
tance program within his
company.
Commissioner Scott
Davidson questioned if the
city can absorb more traf-
fic generated by Sisters
Woodlands and maintain
the quality of life, a concern
shared by Commissioner
Bob Wright, the com-
missioner who abstained.
Davidson also pointed to the
latest housing needs analysis
which suggests there is more
than enough land available
zoned for MFR and not
enough for single-family
residential.
Planning Commission
chairman Jeff Seymour
thinks the zoning changes
will be positive for the city
but encouraged the appli-
cants to be mindful of the
We don’t want to
change the community.
We want to expand
on it, providing
workforce housing.
— Paul Schneider
issues raised during the
hearing.
Wright explained his con-
cerns to The Nugget, sum-
marizing the points contrib-
uting to his vote to abstain
rather than deny or approve
the application:
<The application I feel
met the Statewide plan-
ning goals as they pertain
to strictly meeting zoning
requirements. I feel that it
did not meet the Livability
and Safety that are so criti-
cal in meeting the goals of
the Sisters Vision Plan and
TSP for Sisters. I feel that
members of the Planning
Commission have an obli-
gation and responsibility to
further the goal of providing
a 8quality of life9 both eco-
nomically and in housing
for all residents of Sisters.
At least that has been my
goal for the past eight
years and is my goal for
the future in the decisions
that I make as a planning
commissioner.=
