plus the development of part-
nerships in the education sec-
tor and with federal partners
“to support local workforce
training/apprenticeship/in-
ternship opportunities, par-
ticularly in the construction
trades, health and human safe-
ty, culinary arts, hospitality,
boutique retail sales, arts and
culture, renewable energy and
software development profes-
sions.”
In Chapter 10, language was
adjusted to ensure the city con-
tinued to follow state, federal
and county law in regard to
housing and fair practices. Two
new objectives were also add-
ed: to maintain and upgrade
housing supply through en-
forcement and encourage reha-
bilitation of substandard hous-
ing to reduce costs of housing
and conserve housing stock.
FarleyCampbell said the
changes were supported by the
city’s Buildable Lands Inven-
tory and the recent Housing
Needs Analysis.
In addition, the Planning
Commission
recommended
amendments to the policy lan-
guage to ensure enough land is
zoned for residential purposes.
“Our current code is ex-
tremely restricted in the types
of housing that we have avail-
able to construct in Florence
without going through vari-
ance procedures or jumping
through huge hoops,” FarleyC-
ampbell said. “Overall, they’ve
elected to just increase the
housing stock within Florence
and increase various types of
housing.
“This is the kick-off to
get those code amendments
changed, setting the course for
that. By adding these policies,
you support a lot of actions
that you as the council have in-
dicated you would like to tack-
le through the work plan.”
Other changes included lo-
cal and regional coordination
with organizations, developers
and governments to provide
affordable housing, work-
force housing, social services
and more, as well as pursuing
housing programs for the city’s
workforce, elderly, low-income
and special needs families.
According to Florence May-
or Joe Henry, the first applica-
tions have begun rolling in for
accessory dwelling units, now
approved in Lane County as of
July 1.

ing to move forward, albeit
slowly. It’s the shadow of things
to come,” he said in an email.
Ordinance 11 amended the
Comprehensive Plan’s Chapter
7: Development Hazards and
Constraints; Chapter 11: Util-
ities, Facilities and Services;
Chapter 12: Transportation;
and Chapter 14: Urbanization,
to address Tsunami threats and
development patterns within
areas subject to these natural
hazards.
According to the staff re-
port, “the proposed local com-
prehensive plans and develop-
ment codes were designed to
significantly reduce risk and
enhance community resilience
to a Cascadia Subduction Zone
tsunami.”
“In our current hazard chap-
ter of the comp plan, … there
are no policies related to the
tsunami,” FarleyCambell said,
referring to the possible “Big
One” — a subduction zone
earthquake and tsunami ex-
pected to strike the Cascadia
region sometime in the next 50
years.
“They didn’t actually have
the technology that is avail-
able, such as Lidar, a different
kind of mapping technology
that uses a combination of con-

I’m super proud of our city for
putting that sort of guiding
document in place.”
The five members of the
Florence City Council voted to
approve both ordinances and
staff ’s recommended changes
with only a few clarifying ques-
tions.
Mayor Joe Henry said, “I
would like to compliment
the staff, first Wendy and her
group, and everybody who
worked on this. This was no
small task. The changes to the
Comprehensive Plan have been
going on for a year. It has tak-
en up a lot of time and a lot
of hard work, and it doesn’t
sound very exciting, but it gets
us a long way down the road.”
City Manager Erin Reynolds
thanked the mayor and council
in return.
“The really nice thing is you
now have a good, solid foun-
dation that represents current
community goals, and your
goals, for housing and eco-
nomic development,” she said.
“Now we can create code and
new policies, procedures and
programs that can hopefully
deliver results for housing and
for jobs on the ground and in
our community that we can see
in the years ahead.”

tour maps and photo imagery
to see what’s really happening
on the ground. That technolo-
gy is available now, but it was
not available when this chap-
ter was created in 2000. This is
an opportunity to incorporate
that new technology and make
some accurate policies related
to that.”
The proposed changes for
those chapters include the de-
velopment of tsunami evacua-
tion routes to include signage
and walking paths; discourag-
ing high density and lodging
development within the tsu-
nami zone; requiring, where
feasible, tsunami resilient
construction methods in in-
frastructure development; and
adding the 2013 Tsunami In-
undation Maps to the appendi-
ces of the Comprehensive Plan.
City Councilor Susy Lac-
er said, “In reading through
our packet tonight, these new
Comprehensive Plan chap-
ters … are amazing, amazing
documents. They are a reflec-
tion of so many hundreds and
thousands of hours of work on
behalf of our staff and so many
community volunteers. It’s
been a long process, and this
has been a really amazing ef-
fort and huge accomplishment.
