City of Lake Oswego, OR Use Regulations and Conditions

How to Use.

[Ord. No. 2579, Repealed and Replaced, 3-20-2012; Ord. No. 2723, Amended, 10-18-2016]

Permitted Uses.

A "P" in a cell of a use table indicates that the land use is allowed by right in that base or overlay zone, subject to compliance with the use-specific standards referenced in the final column of the use table. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable requirements of this Code, including those set forth in LOC § 50.06, Development Standards. Uses accessory to a permitted use are allowed regardless of whether they are listed separately in the use table.

Conditional Uses.

A "C" in a cell of a use table indicates that the land use is allowed in that base or overlay zone only upon approval of a conditional use permit as described in LOC § 50.07.005, Conditional Use Permits, including the specific conditions listed in LOC § 50.07.005.3, and compliance with any usespecific standards referenced in the use table. Uses subject to a conditional use permit are subject to all other applicable requirements of this Code, including those set forth in LOC § 50.06, Development Standards. Uses accessory to a conditional use are allowed regardless of whether they are listed separately in the use table.

Accessory Uses.

An "A" in a cell of a use table indicates that the land use is expressly allowed in that base or overlay zone as an accessory use to a permitted use or an approved conditional use. In addition to those expressly listed, all uses that are secondary and subordinate to a permitted or approved conditional use, and are frequently found in connection with that permitted or approved conditional use, are allowed as accessory uses. A use is "accessory," when the use is (i) generally accepted as accessory to a primary use based on state of the industry, (ii) the accessory use is secondary to the primary use, (iii) the impacts of the accessory use do not significantly alter the impacts of the primary use (e.g., traffic volume), and (iv) the accessory use is not the same size or scale as would be found for a primary use elsewhere.

Prohibited Uses.

A blank cell in a use table indicates that the land use is prohibited in that base or overlay zone district.

Overlay Districts Provisions Govern.

When a property is located within the boundaries of an overlay district, the use table provisions for that overlay district prevail over those in the base zone district. For example, if a use is prohibited in the base zone district where the property is located, but is a permitted use in an overlay district applicable to the same property, then the use is allowed on that property. On the other hand, if a use is listed as a permitted use in the base zone district but is listed as a conditional use in an overlay zone district applicable to the same property, then the use is a conditional use for that property. Where a property is located in more than one overlay district, then the most restrictive use provision in those overlay zone districts shall apply to the property.

Use-Specific Standards and Table Notes.

There may be additional standards that apply to specific permitted or conditional uses. Those additional standards are either identified in a note at the end of the table or cross-referenced under the “use specific standards” column in the use table. The cross-referenced standards appear in LOC § 50.03.003, Use-Specific Standards, immediately following the use table.

Authorization for Similar Uses.

The City Manager may authorize that a use not specifically named in the permitted, conditional or prohibited uses of a district be included among the allowed uses, if the use 1) is similar to and of the same general type as the uses specifically allowed; 2) is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and 3) has similar intensity, density, off-site impacts and impacts on community facilities as uses permitted in the zone. However, the City Manager may not authorize a use already specifically permitted in any other zoning district. A person disagreeing with the City Manager’s decision may appeal that decision to the Planning Commission pursuant to LOC § 50.07.003.7.b, Appeal of Minor Development Decision.

Site Size.

A new facility shall be sited on a parcel of a size and shape that complies with the following criteria:

(a)

Setbacks – Tower.

The tower footprint shall be set back at least two-thirds the tower height from any property line. This setback may be reduced if the applicant can demonstrate that:

(i)

The shape or configuration of the parcel prevents compliance with the setback standard or that a reduction in setback is necessary to take advantage of screening opportunities (such as tall trees, tree groves, buildings, or other tall elements) not available within the required setback area;

(ii)

The reduction in setback is the minimum required to best camouflage the facility;

(iii)

Adequate clearance between the facility and property line can be provided to accommodate landscaping and fencing; and

(iv)

The reduction in setback will not cause a greater visual impact to adjacent uses.

(b)

Setbacks – Ancillary Facilities.

Ancillary facilities shall be set back the same as required for primary structures of the zone, except that the side or rear yard setback may be reduced in a residential zone if the ancillary facilities meet the criteria in LOC § 50.03.004.2.b.

(c)

The tower pad shall be sited in a location that permits additional expansion to accommodate future collocated ancillary facilities. The tower shall be located centrally on this pad. This standard shall not apply to antennas attached to existing structures or towers located on rooftops.

(d)

A licensed structural engineer’s analysis shall be submitted to demonstrate that the potential impact of tower failure and ice falling from the tower will be accommodated on site.

(e)

Separation from Pre-Existing Towers.

New towers shall be separated from existing towers by at least the following distances, measured in a straight line from the base of the proposed new tower to the base of any pre-existing tower:

TABLE 50.03.003-1: SEPARATION FROM PRE-EXISTING TOWERS

Monopole ≥ 80 ft. in height	1,500	1,500	1,500	750
Monopole < 80 ft. in height	750	750	750	750

(2)

Collocation to Be Explored; Accommodated.

(a)

Before an application for a new transmission tower is accepted, applicants shall demonstrate that they have exhausted all practicable collocation options within the proposed service area pursuant to LOC §§ 50.07.004.12.a.i and 50.07.004.12.a.iv including placement of antennas on existing tall structures and placing multiple antennas or attachments on a single tower. To demonstrate that all practicable collocation options have been exhausted, the applicant shall demonstrate that:

(i)

No existing towers or support structures, or approved but not yet constructed towers or support structures, are located within the geographic area required to meet the applicant’s engineering requirements;

(ii)

Existing towers or support structures are not of sufficient height to meet the applicant’s engineering requirements;

(iii)

Existing towers or support structures do not have sufficient structural strength to support the applicant’s proposed antenna and related equipment;

(iv)

The applicant’s proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic interference with the antenna on the existing tower or support structure, or the existing antenna would cause interference with the applicant’s proposed antenna; or

(v)

There are other limiting factors that render existing towers and support structures unsuitable.

(b)

Accommodation of Future Collocation.

New towers shall be constructed so as to accommodate future collocation, based on expected demand for transmission towers in the service area. Towers shall be designed so as to accommodate a minimum expansion of three two-way antennas for every 40 vertical ft. of tower.

(c)

Multiple Attachments on Utility Towers.

In conformance with the Telecommunication Act of 1996, Section 703, a utility shall provide any telecommunications carrier with nondiscriminatory access to any pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way owned or controlled by it, unless there is insufficient capacity or access cannot be granted for reasons of safety, reliability, and generally applicable engineering purposes.

(d)
