NOTICE OF QUASI-JUDICIAL LAND USE PUBLIC HEARINGS

 Docket # ANX1-19, ZC1-19, SB1-19:

              OHM Equity Partners LLC has submitted an application for the proposed annexation and zone change of approximately 1.59 acres described as Columbia County Assessor Map Number: 3212-DA-04400. The site is located at the eastern terminus of SE Maple Street. Based on the requirements of the Scappoose Development Code, if this property is annexed it would automatically receive Low Density Residential (R-1) zoning since the site has a “Suburban Residential” Comprehensive Plan Map designation; however, the applicant proposes to rezone the property to Moderate Density Residential (R-4) and requests approval of a 12-lot Cottage Housing Development subdivision. The annexation request must be approved for the subdivision application to be approved.

The Planning Commission hearing is scheduled for Thursday, May 14, 2020, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers* of the Scappoose City Hall located at 33568 East Columbia Avenue.
