ADUs and RVs as options for secondary dwellings: ZDO-285
Additional dwelling units (ADUs) were formerly banned in rural areas. The last legislative session changed this to allow counties to permit them. Clackamas County is considering options: continue with the ban, permit ADUs in some rural zones, permit both ADUs and RVs as dwellings in some rural zones. Your input is requested by the County.

The link above helps to explain the proposed changes to the Zoning and Development Ordinances (ZDOs) and the county’s Comprehensive Plan. It includes a video.
The proposed changes will be heard and discussed by the Planning Commission on April 22. The Board of County Commissioners will hear, discuss, and potentially adopt the changes on May 8.
Martha Fritzie is the Principal Planner and can be reached for comment at mfritzie@clackamas.us.
These proposed changes could have a major impact on rural quality of life. The Hamlet of Beavercreek is following developments closely.
What is going on with the Carus Historic White Schoolhouse? Here’s an update:
The final piece of saving the White Building is fundraising. The Friends report they have secured $75,000 in donations, which covers half the cost of moving the building. As Chris Ritter, President of the Friends nonprofit, said, “So many in the community have already generously donated, and we are hopeful that as more people learn about the work we’re doing, they too will pitch in to save this local landmark and be part of the efforts to turn the schoolhouse into a community space for all to enjoy!”
To learn more, make a tax-deductible donation, or volunteer services, donors and members of the community are asked to go to CarusHistoricSchoolhouse.org
