HPAC Committee Minutes (Draft)
(4:30) LIAISON REPORTS (5 min)
Councilor Dahle gave liaison report.
Dahle to inform the full council about the Playwright’s Walk.
Dahle informed the committee about the passage of Senate Bill 1537. Dahle and Severson
explained that this bill included an allowance for up to ten land use adjustments that cities
would be required to approve under specific circumstances if a project included housing.
These adjustments would provide relief from several planning requirements and design
standards. Severson noted that more detail would be provided at a later date.
Severson gave the staff report.
Severson discussed the Oregon Heritage Vitality Study, noting that this involved a
statewide survey in which the respondents had been larger preservation organizations,
with limited representation of local commissions and small non-profits. He made the
committee members aware of an opportunity to hear about the study and provide
th
feedback on April 9 in Medford and provided a hand-out with additional detail.
Severson spoke about the city projects at Pioneer Hall, Community Center, and Alice Peil
Walkway. Shostrom noted he had been following these projects closely and discussed
details, emphasizing the importance of replacing the entire foundation of the Community
Center rather than only 1/3 of it so that it is there to support the newly reinforced building
for years to come. Committee members concurred with the importance of the foundation
work.
