City adopts revised code

The Sisters City Council adopted the 2010 Development Code update by emergency Ordinance 397, May 13.

The purpose of the 2010 Development Code update was to create consistent terminology, reduce ambiguities, modify site development dimensional standards, alter the list of permitted, conditional, and prohibited uses, modify permit/decision making procedures and move sub-districts to new separate zoning districts.

The adopted 2010 Development Code is designed to be user-friendly and flexible.

The 2010 Development Code update has been a work in progress for several years.

The City of Sisters thanked the Development Code Advisory Committee that was involved in 2007 and the Technical Advisory Committee that was involved from 2008-2010. The committees dedicated hours of time reviewing the code and offered valuable input.

The 2010 Development Code went into effect May 13. Copies are available at City Hall for $50 or at no cost via e-mail. Contact Pauline Hardie at [email protected] for more information.
