We invite you to participate in the land use hearing scheduled before the Planning Commission.  If you wish to participate in the hearing, you may do so in person or be represented by someone else. You also may submit written comments. Oral testimony is typically limited to five minutes per speaker.

If you mail your comments to the City, please put the following information on the outside of the envelope:

All written comments must be received by 12:00 p.m. on May 9, 2022.  Written information received after this time will be read out loud at the hearing subject to time limits for speakers, and will be included in the record if there are further proceedings.

You can look over all the information about this project or drop comments off at Newberg City Hall, 414 E First Street.  You can also buy copies of the information for a cost of 25 cents a page.  A staff report relating to the proposal will be available for inspection at no cost seven days prior to the public hearing.   If you have any questions about the project, you can call the Newberg Planning Division at 503-537-1240.

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 for a Planned Unit Development are found in Newberg Development Code Section 15.225.060 & 15.240.030 (C).

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.

The Planning Commission will make a decision at the end of the public hearing process.  If you participate in the public hearing process, either by testifying at the public hearing, or by sending in written comments, we will send you information about any decision made by the City relating to this project.
