Commissioners start path
to adopting mandated
housing code changes
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
During the next year, the Keizer
Planning Commission will spend an ample
amount of time determining mandated
changes to its development code that will
impact neighborhoods throughout the city.
The changes, put in place by the
Oregon Legislature in 2020 and known as
HB2001, require greater density in large
cities throughout the state. Large cities are
defined as those with a population larger
than 25,000, Keizer is closing in on 40,000.
The changes need to be adopted by June
2022.
No property owner will be forced into
changes, but the city will be required to
allow a greater number of housing types
on properties zoned for single family
residences.
“It will require amending large sec-
tions of our code, but my guess is that the
planning commission and city council will
want to limit changes to what is required,”
said Shane Witham, Keizer interim com-
munity development director.
The goal of changing the development
code is to increase Oregon’s stock of mid-
dle income housing. The primary tool
deployed to juice the market is rezoning
all single family properties for low-density
multifamily housing.
The means a property that currently
has a single family residence, can be rede-
veloped or remodeled as duplexes, tri-
plexes, quadplexes, cottage clusters and
townhouses that “can blend in well with
detached single-family housing.”
“We don’t get a choice on duplexes, we
What we
might have
control over are
quadplexes and
triplexes .
— SHANE WITHAM
Interim development director, KEIZER
have to allow those on every single family
lot,” said Witham at a planning commis-
sion meeting Wednesday, March 10. “What
we might have control over are quadplexes
and triplexes.”
The new code permits cities to decide
whether anything larger than a duplex can
be attached or detached from the primary
residence.
“There is a significant difference
between a triplex that is three units in one
building and building a duplex in the back-
yard of a single family residence. I think
we can change the probability of what will
happen with some policy decisions by the
planning commission,” Witham said.
Triplexes will be allowed on lots 5,000
square feet or larger, which encompasses
many current plots in Keizer city limits.
“We have a fair number of parcels that
are large and deep for urban standards.
Some of those aren’t big enough to divide,
but a lot of those lots could add units in
the back and add a walkway to it,” Witham
said.
