McLoughlin planning ends with carlots allowed near light rail
Clackamas County commissioners balk at proposed restrictive limitations on land use for auto businesses
Clackamas County commissioners voted 4-1 on June 22 to take no further action on the Park Avenue Community Advisory Committee s recommendation to prohibit auto-oriented land use along McLoughlin Boulevard.
Launched in 2017, Park Avenue Community Project aimed to create a vibrant, inclusive, affordable neighborhood by updating land-use design and development standards, including limitations on car dealerships and other auto-oriented businesses.
While this planning effort for the Park Avenue area ended with an impasse, a separate county project could increase housing densities around urban areas like Park Avenue s light-rail station.
