Pacific City-Woods CAC to address STR cap, new housing bill

The Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee will meet Saturday, Feb. 17, starting at 10 a.m., to not only hold its quarterly meeting, but serve as a springboard for two additional meetings — one addressing the short-term rental cap, and the second focusing on Senate Bill 406, which would allow for greater housing density. All three meetings will be held at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

CAC Quarterly Meeting

On the agenda for the CAC meeting is information on Short-Term Rental Ordinance 84, which was adopted by the county on July 19; an explanation of Senate Bill 406; updates on the Kiwanda Corridor Project, the Sandlake Road repair, and the FEMA Biological Opinion; and more.

STR Cap Meeting

Immediately following the CAC meeting, Tillamook County Community Development Director Sarah Absher will host a meeting during which citizens can participate in reviewing the existing short-term rental percentage-based cap. Participants can help make recommendations to increase, decrease or keep the cap as is. Following the discussion, the group recommendation will reportedly be presented to Tillamook County officials. 

Senate Bill 406

Scheduled for one hour following the completion of the CAC meeting, this meeting will once again be led by Abhser as she will discuss with citizens the impact that amended zoning designed to allow more workforce housing could have on the Pacific City community and surrounding areas.
