Shrout, resi-
dent of Emer-

nior Living in
J. Shrout
Keizer, passed
away Nov. 19,
2019 at the age of 95.
She was born to Lewis and
Julia Honeycutt on July 4, 1924,
in Hickory, N.C. Her fami-
meals and what medication to
take.
What’s been done so far:
The city has spent the past
year looking at how to meet
its forecasted growth for the
next 20 years. At the moment,
the city has chosen to absorb
growth within the existing city
boundaries. That could mean
increased rents and mortgages
because space is already at a
premium.
The city has made some
changes to its development
code in hope of spurring
redevelopment that include
housing components, but the
same study that resulted in
those changes also suggested
that there is little in the existing
market to light a fi re under the
property owners.
Keizer also allows accessory
dwelling units – think mother-
in-law cottage – and the requests
for permits are increasing, but
it’s uncertain whether rents in
those spaces will be any lower
than more traditional home or
apartment rentals.
According to the housing
needs study, the greatest need
in Keizer is for low income,
very low income and extremely
low income housing (the three
categories roughly 47 percent
of the overall need).
The Oregon Legislature has
also taken action that affects
the entire state. A bill approved
earlier this year essentially
ended the practice of single-
family zoning in cities the size
of Keizer and larger. It means
that
multifamily
housing,
such as duplexes, triplexes and
quadplexes, will be permitted
within the same areas.
The city council meeting
Dec. 2 is unlikely to be the end
of the discussion, but will be
one of the more high profi le
chances for residents to make
their voices known.
