Camas North Shore subarea plan gets final approval

It’s official. After six years of subarea planning, Camas’ nearly 900-acre North Shore is poised to become a unique area featuring hundreds of acres of green space, mixed-use developments, stronger protections for trees, a focus on walkability and sustainability, a more diverse mix of housing types that should lead to more affordable housing options and a blend of zoning and design standards that will set North Shore apart from other Camas neighborhoods.

On Monday, Aug. 7, following a public hearing held in mid-July, the Camas City Council twice voted 4-2 to approve two ordinances related to North Shore-specific design manual and zoning designations approved by the Camas Planning Commission earlier this summer.
