Vancouver Land Use Hearings · Jun 16, 2026 · 1:17:20–1:17:44 · Watch on CVTV ↗

The discussion centers on two proposed residential subdivisions, most notably the Mount Hood Vista project, which seeks a concurrent rezone from R9 to R17 to build 82 homes in alignment with the city's comprehensive plan for increased density and affordable housing. Local residents pushed back against the high density of these infill projects, arguing that the surrounding neighborhood infrastructure lacks the necessary sidewalks, crosswalks, and stormwater management systems to support the sudden growth. Additionally, community members raised significant safety and environmental concerns regarding steep slope instability, increased traffic congestion, and the mass removal of mature trees.

What was said

1:16:16 At that time, and if neither the city nor the applicant wish to respond to the June 24th submission, please do email Ms. Bowen so she can alert me and I can close the record. If the record does stay open until July 1st, my decision will be due counting the holiday on July 3rd, which will be observed 4th of July. My decision would then be due on July 16, Thursday, July 16. That decision date could move up if the city and the applicant both state that they do not wish to provide further comment to anything that comes in by the 24. Okay, I think that's it for this application. I want to thank everybody for respecting the time periods and providing your testimony, it's very much appreciated.

1:17:14 Okay, so the second item on the agenda this evening is the Mount Hood Vista subdivision with a request for a zone change. This is application number PRJ-169-743, LUP-85799. This application is to subdivide a 7.52 acre site into 82 residential lots and is also requesting a zone change from R9 to R17. This is a type four process for this application. The previous application was a type three process. I will go through the preliminary statements and disclosures for this application as I do for each one. Again, I am the city of Vancouver hearings officer

1:18:12 and the purpose of this hearing is to collect public testimony and any additional evidence on the proposed proposed application. I will be judging the application, this is quasi-judicial. So I will be judging the application based on the criteria set forth in the staff report and based on the evidence in the record and testimony this evening. If you believe that the staff report did not include all applicable criteria, please bring that to my attention. There is a raise it or wave it requirement.
