A group of organizations and businesses has joined in a legal action with Pahlisch Homes to require the City of Bend to pause the implementation of a new tree code policy that will further increase Bend’s sky-high housing costs. Bend YIMBY (“Yes In My Back Yard”), Brooks Resources, Central Oregon Association of Realtors, Central Oregon Builders Association, Empire Construction & Development, and Hayden Homes all joined a motion to intervene filed with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals on behalf of the appeal filed by Pahlisch Homes on August “We are asking City of Bend’s elected leaders to reconsider, and take another crack at doing a better job of balancing our priority need for housing in this community with tree preservation,” said Jim Roberts, with Bend YIMBY.
