NOTICE OF A LIMITED LAND USE DECISION

The Scappoose Planning Commission has scheduled a limited land use decision to consider:

Docket # SDR 2-23

Lea Chitwood has requested approval of an application for Site Development Review (SDR

2-23) to allow for the change of use from an existing single-family home to a real estate office as well as improvements to various site amenities. The site is located at 33454 SW JP West Road, southeast of the SW JP West Road and SW 1st Street intersection, on property described as Columbia County Assessor Map #3212-CA-03200.

The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 14, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Scappoose City Hall, located at 33568 E Columbia Avenue. The meeting can also be attended virtually via Microsoft Teams (link available on the City’s website 7 days prior to the decision). Limited land use decisions do not allow verbal testimony during the meeting since they do not require interpretation or the exercise of policy or legal judgement; however, written comments are permitted prior to the deadline indicated below.

The Planning Commission's decision on the above items must be based on findings that a specific set of criteria have or have not been met. Comments submitted in regard to the application should be directed toward applicable sections of the Scappoose Municipal Code, with particular emphasis on Chapters 12.10 (Visual Clearance Areas); 17.01.060 (Right-of-way dedications and improvements); 17.62 (C - General Commercial); 17.80 (Downtown Overlay); 17.100 (Landscaping, Screening, and Fencing); 17.104 (Street Trees); 17.106 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements); Chapter 17.120 (Site Development Review); 17.154 (Street and Utility Improvement Standards); and 17.164 (Procedures for Decision Making - Limited Land Use Decisions).

The decision-making criteria, application, and records concerning this matter are available to view at the Scappoose Community Development Center office, located at 52610 NE 1st Street, Monday through Thursday from 8:00 - 5:00. Please call (503) 543 - 7184 to schedule an appointment.

Interested parties may submit written comments by mail to City of Scappoose; Associate Planner; 33568 E Columbia Avenue; Scappoose, OR 97056 or by email to njohnson@scappoose.gov by Wednesday, March 13, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Failure to raise an issue in writing prior to the close of the public comment period or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes appeal on that issue.

Council Chambers can be accessed through automated door openers, available during public meetings.
