412 W Fifth Street (outlined in blue)

UPDATE: Application approved by the Planning Commission on August 12, 2021. The Planning Commission decision is being appealed. The City Council will hold a public hearing on October 18, 2021 to consider the appeal. Please see APL21-0001 on the Planning Department website.

The Newberg Planning Commission will hold a virtual meeting for a quasi-judicial public hearing on Thursday August 12, 2021,  at 7 p.m. to evaluate a proposal for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a short-term Vacation Rental at 412 W Fifth Street. You are invited to take part in the City's review of this project by sending in your written comments or by testifying before the Planning Commission. 

The application would allow a home located at 412 W Fifth Street with the zoning of R-1 (Low Density Residential) to be operated as short-term, less than 30-days, Vacation Rental, which requires a Conditional Use Permit to be approved by the Planning Commission.

The public comment period was held open for 14-days after the July 8, 2021 Planning Commission meeting and is now closed. 

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 conditional use permit are found in Newberg Development Code Section 15.225.060 and 15.445.330.

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.
