Is Lake Oswego protected?

There is a phrase in the text of this story from The Oregonian that explains how the micro-apartment cancer is spread, and how it can be stopped:

 "Micro-apartments — typically studio apartments around 300 square feet, and often less — have become popular in big cities that don't put a minimum on the size of housing units. They're positioned as an affordable urban option for singles and couples."

Is Lake Oswego inoculated against this disease, or are we vulnerable too?  Our Community Development Codes should be evaluated not only for what they have, but for what they don't!

In the photo you can see that the streets are already lined with parked cars.  When the current apartments are chopped up into sleeping units with shared kitchens, and NO parking, where will the tenants' and shoppers' cars go?  There's only one place to go - into the residential neighborhoods.  Another Portland neighborhood wrecked by Portland's density codes.  

Micro-apartments proposed in SE Portland's Mt. Tabor neighborhood

A Portland development firm has proposed turning a former nursing school dormitory on Mt. Tabor into a 75-unit micro-apartment building.

Bridgeway Realty Resources has a contract to buy the building, 6012 SE Yamhill St., from its current occupant, a Christian nonprofit.  According to filings with city development officials, the firm wants to renovate the building and create high density "mini-units," with the ground floor used for storefronts and offices.
