RV Park Proposal: The City attended a Clackamas County pre-application meeting for a proposed conceptual layout for a recreational vehicle park at 17151 SE 362nd Drive. This is inside the Sandy UGB, but currently outside the Sandy city limits. The property owner wanted to develop multifamily housing on this site, but due to the moratorium cannot obtain sewer connections at this time. The intent now is to develop a recreational vehicle park through the County’s process. The City is involved in accordance with our existing Urban Growth Management Agreement (UGMA) with Clackamas County. The City concerns introduced at the meeting were related to the protection of the Tickle Creek riparian corridor and obtaining a sewer/pedestrian easement, the improvements along 362nd Drive meeting the City of Sandy roadway standards, and creation of an agreement so when the property is annexed and redeveloped that the Dubarko Road right-of-way as shown in our TSP is dedicated and developed.

AutoZone at 17060 Ruben Lane: AutoZone will be completing significant interior modifications to the former location of Advanced Auto Parts at the southeast corner of Ruben Lane and Highway 26. Exterior modifications will include a new trash enclosure, new exterior lighting, new street trees, a new pathway to Ruben Lane, and new paint.

Adult Foster Home at 18212 Bluff Road: Earlier in 2025 and in accordance with ORS 197.670, the City approved an adult foster home at 18212 Bluff Road that included converting the existing garages into living space and creating additional bedrooms. Final inspections have been requested. Both the Planning and Building Divisions have minor outstanding items that must be completed, but the facility is expected to be granted occupancy within the next few weeks after all permits are final and a certificate of occupancy is issued.
