Development Process Overview

Typical Land Use Planning process:

  1. Initial Contact – An applicant brings a proposal or idea to the Planning Division for discussion and initial feedback. The applicant is given appropriate pre-application requirements and application form.
  2. Pre-Application Conference – Applicant submits pre-application materials and a meeting is scheduled with the appropriate city departments and affected agencies (this may include the Sandy Fire Marshall and Oregon Department of Transportation).

Long Range Planning

Long range planning is an analytical process that examines the physical, social, and economic aspects of the city. Through this analysis, long range planning helps the community look at the options it has for development and change. Examples of long range planning activities in Sandy include revising the Transportation System Plan, working on the Comprehensive Plan, and completing modifications to the Development Code. For more information on these activities see the links below.

Urban Renewal Plan and Programs

The City of Sandy is proud of its downtown. The 3/4 mile stretch between Bluff Road and Ten Eyck Road is the heart of the city and offers shopping, dining and entertainment. Sandy's downtown is also home to a variety of City services including City Hall, Sandy Fire and the Sandy Police Department, Sandy Public Library and the Sandy Community & Senior Center. Because downtown Sandy is a valuable asset to our community, the City has undertaken several urban renewal projects to increase the prosperity of the community by enabling an economically viable and vibrant city.
