Hearings Officer: Z0282-25 & Z0313-25 - Sept. 25, 2025

File Numbers: Z0282-25 and Z0313-25

Applicant: Mark Lindley, and Dyann Bernatz, Portland General Electric Company

Proposal: The applicant requests a conditional use approval through File Z0282-25 to upgrade the existing power line to include added transmission lines along Stafford Rd. The altered public utility facility will include transmission, distribution and communication lines and added transmission capacity along the entire project length. Pole heights will increase. Because the review process for utility facilities in the EFU zone is different than the process in the RRFF-5 zone, the applicant also requests approval through File Z0313-25 of a “utility facility necessary for public service” to replace seven existing poles at Rosemont Substation with taller transmission poles to match the rest of the corridor.

Applicable Zoning and Development Ordinance Criteria: ZDO Sections 202, 316, 401, 1203 and 1307. These criteria may be viewed online.

Site Address and/or Location: An approximately 5.9-mile stretch along Stafford Rd between Rosemont Rd and SE 65th Ave along with the property at 50 S. Rosemont Road.

Zoning: RRFF-5, Rural Residential Farm Forest 5-acre District; and EFU, Exclusive Farm Use District
