NOTICE OF A CONSOLIDATED LIMITED LAND USE DECISION AND QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING

The Scappoose Planning Commission has scheduled a limited land use decision and quasi-judicial hearing to consider a consolidated application for Site Development Review, Property Line Adjustment, Minor Partition, and Minor Variance (SDR 4-23, PLA 1-24, MiP 2-24, MiV 1-23) submitted by Baker Assets Group LLC. The request is to allow for the demolition of four existing single-family homes and accessory structures, a Property Line Adjustment, a 2-lot Minor Partition, a Minor Variance to allow for a reduction in lot width, and construction of three new restaurant buildings and associated site amenities. The subject site is located across three existing tax lots addressed as 51631 Columbia River Highway (Columbia County Assessor Map #3213-B0-01300), 51635 Columbia River Highway (Map #3213-B0-01301), and 51624 SW Old Portland Road (Map #3213-BD-09900). The subject site is east of the SW Jenny Lane and SW Old Portland Road intersection.

The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 27, 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 (Site Development Review, Property Line Adjustment, and Minor Partition) do not allow verbal testimony during the hearing; however, written comments are permitted prior to the deadline indicated below. Quasi-judicial decisions (Minor Variance) allow verbal testimony during the hearing as well as written comments prior to the deadline below.

The Planning Commission's decision on the above consolidated decision 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); 17.68 (EC Expanded Commercial); 17.100 (Landscaping, Screening, and Fencing); 17.104 (Street Trees); 17.106 Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements); 17.120 (Site Development Review); 17.134 (Variance); 17.152 (Land Division‒Major and Minor Land Partitions and Property Line Adjustments); 17.154 (Street and Utility Improvement Standards); 17.162 (Procedures for Decision Making–Quasi-Judicial); and 17.164 (Procedures for Decision Making–Limited Land Use Decisions).

The decision-making criteria, application, and records concerning this matter are available in the Scappoose Community Development Center office at 52610 NE 1st Street Monday through Thursday during working hours or by calling (503) 543-7184 Monday through Friday during working hours.

Interested parties may submit written comments by mail to City of Scappoose; Associate Planner; 33568 E Columbia Avenue; Scappoose, OR 97056 or by email at njohnson@scappoose.gov by Wednesday, June 26, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Comments related to the quasi-judicial decision may be made in writing prior to the deadline or verbally at the hearing. Failure to raise an issue verbally or 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.
