Senate Bill 458 (Development Code Amendment)

This Bill is related to Land Division for Residential Development; Creating new provisions; and Amending ORS 93.277, 94.775, 94.776

The City of Sandy is currently working on proposed amendments to bring the Development Code into compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 458. SB 458 is a follow-up to House Bill (HB) 2001, which required medium-sized cities to allow a duplex anywhere a single-family residence is permitted. SB 458 requires any city or county subject to the requirements of HB 2001 to adopt an expedited review process for middle housing land divisions (i.e., the division of a duplex into two separate lots). The primary intent of SB 458 is to enable middle housing lots (i.e., lots with duplexes) to be subdivided for individual sale and ownership of each duplex unit.
