MISC323-0001/MIMD323-0003 Collina at Springbrook Subdivision Phasing Modifications & Springbrook Master Plan Modifications

A property owner in your neighborhood submitted an application to the City of Newberg to modify the phasing schedule of the Collina at Springbrook Subdivision (SUB322-0002) that was approved under Order No. 2023-44 and Ordinance 2023-2915 as well as update the Springbrook Master Plan Development Standards Matrix. The modification would clarify and adjust the phasing schedule in regards to timelines for each phase and what frontage improvements are included in each phase. The development standards matrix would update the allowed 20 foot lot frontage language from "attached dwelling units" to "middle housing dwelling units" and update the development standards for middle housing west of Hess Creek. It would specifically change the shared driveway easement and paving width from currently requiring a 25 foot easement with a 20 foot paved driveway width to a 24 foot easement with a 16 foot paved width. It would also change the required width for driveways between duplexes and triplexes from the currently required 22 feet to 20 feet.

“Middle housing” means any individual or combination of duplex dwellings, triplex dwellings, quadplex dwellings, townhouse dwellings and/or cottage clusters.

You can look over all the information about this project or drop comments off at Newberg's Wastewater Treatment Plant, 2301 NE Wynooski Road from 8:30a-3:30p Monday through Friday on regular business days.  You can also buy copies of the information for a cost of 25 cents a page.  If you have any questions about the project, you can call the Newberg Planning Division at 503-537-1240.

All written comments must be turned in by noon on Friday, April 26, 2024.  Written information received after this time will be read out loud at the continued hearing subject to time limits for speakers and will be included in the record if there are further proceedings.

Any issue which might be raised in an appeal of this case to the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) must be raised during the public hearing process.  You must include enough detail to enable the decision maker an opportunity to respond.  The applicable criteria used to make a decision on this application are found in Newberg Municipal Code (NMC) Sections 15.326, and 15.235.030(D) and 15.235.030(E). It will also be evaluated against the Newberg's Comprehensive Plan.

Prior to the conclusion of the initial evidentiary hearing, any participant may request an opportunity to present additional evidence, arguments or testimony regarding the application through a continuance or extension of the record.  Failure of an issue to be raised in the hearing, in person or by letter, or failure to provide statements or evidence sufficient to afford the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes appeal to the State Land Use Board of Appeals based on that issue.

If you participate in the public hearing process, either by testifying at the public hearing, or by sending in written comments, you will be sent information about any decision made by the City relating to this project.
