1109 River Street - Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment and Zone Change
A property owner submitted an application to the City of Newberg for a comprehensive plan map change from Medium Density Residential/MDR to High Density Residential/HDR and zone change from R-2 to R-3. The Newberg Planning Commission will hold a hearing on July 12, 2018 at 7 pm at the Newberg Public Safety Building, 401 E. Third Street, Newberg, OR, to evaluate the proposal. You are invited to take part in the City's review of this project by sending in your written comments or testifying before the Planning Commission. For more details about giving comments, please see below.
The application would change the Comprehensive Plan Designation from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential, and change the zone from R-1 to R-3.
Existing: R-2 Medium Density Residential District: The purpose of this land use designation is to provide a wide range of dwelling types and styles at an average overall density of nine units per gross buildable acre in the district.
Proposed: R-3 High Density Residential District: The purpose of this land use designation is to provide multifamily dwellings of different types and styles at an average overall density of 16.5 units per gross buildable acre in the district. Density may vary depending on lot size, off-street parking area, transportation, landscaping and other site considerations.
The applicable criteria used to make a decision on this application for a comprehensive plan map amendment/zoning map amendment are found in Newberg Development Code section 15.302.030(A)3.
If this application is approved then the comprehensive plan and zoning designations would change but no development would be approved. The applicant would need to apply for design review approval before the site can be developed.

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 comprehensive plan map and zone change are found in Newberg Development Code Section 15.302.030(A)3.
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 recommendation to the City Council on the application, and City Council will make a final decision at a future hearing.
