Order No. 2007-0004

 

 

1.                  On June 14, 2006, Pacific Lifestyle Investments submitted a request for an amendment to the Newberg Comprehensive Plan to add approximately 59.5 acres located at 31544 NE Corral Creek Road to the Newberg Urban Reserve Area, Yamhill County Tax Lot R3222 02700.

 

2.                  After proper notice, the Newberg Urban Area Management Commission (NUAMC) heard the request at a hearing on August 23, 2006. The hearing was continued to September 21, 2006 to allow time for proponents to respond in writing to testimony, for interested persons to reply to that response, and for proponent rebuttals.

 

3.                  On September 21, 2006, at the hearing continued from August 23, 2006, NUAMC heard the proponent’s responses to testimony received, as well as rebuttals to the proponent’s responses, and deliberated on the request. It concluded that the applicable criteria had not been met, and that approval of the applicant was not in the best interest of the community at that time.

 

4.                  On November 30, 2006, NUAMC adopted Resolution No. 2006-16, recommending that the Newberg City Council and Yamhill County Board of Commissioners deny the applicant’s request to include the subject property in the Newberg Urban Reserve Area.

 

5.                  After proper notice, on April 2, 2007, the Newberg City Council held a hearing to consider the request.

 

6.                  The City Council finds that the applicable criteria have not been met, and that approval of the application is not in the best interests of the community at this time.

 

 

 

1.                  The application by Pacific Lifestyle Investments to include the property described in Exhibits “A” and “B” in the Newberg Urban Reserve is hereby denied.

 

2.         The findings which are attached hereto as Exhibit “C” are incorporated herein.

 

Adopted by the City Council of the City of Newberg, Oregon, this 2^nd day of April, 2007.
