PROJECT INFORMATION

A property owner submitted an application to the City of Newberg to operate a vacation rental home at 301 N Meridian Street. After a period of interdepartmental and agency review, the Director of Community Development rendered a decision to grant approval of the vacation rental application on October 5th, 2023, to become effective on the 20th of October 2023, pending public comment. 

The applicable criteria used to make a decision on this application for vacation rentals are found in Newberg Development Code Sections 15.445.300-350. You can look over all the information about this project here and if you choose, 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.  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 October 19, 2023. Any issue which might be raised in an appeal of this case to the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) must be submitted to the City in writing before this date.  You must include enough detail to enable the decision maker an opportunity to respond.  

The Community Development Director will make a decision at the end of a 14-day comment period.  If you sent in written comments about this project, you will have received information about any decision made by the City relating to this project.
