Planning Commission Meeting

The Scappoose Planning Commission has scheduled a limited land use decision to consider an application for a Subdivision (SB 1-24) submitted by Columbia County Habitat For Humanity, Inc. The request is for Preliminary Plat Approval to subdivide ~0.74 acres of land into 10 lots to support townhouses. The site is located across two existing tax lots, one is addressed as 33741 SE Oak Street (Columbia County Assessor Map #3212-DB-03000) and the other is an unaddressed property off SE Myrtle Street described as Columbia County Assessor Map #3212-DA-02501. The site is southwest of the SE Myrtle Street and SE 4th Street intersection.

The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 11, 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, nor do they require a public hearing; however, written comments are permitted prior to the deadline indicated below.

The Planning Commission's decision on the above limited land use 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); 17.50 (R-4 Moderate Density Residential); 17.104 (Street Trees) 17.150 (Land Division‒Subdivision); 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 at njohnson@scappoose.gov by Wednesday, July 10, 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.

The City of Scappoose does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its programs and activities. Council Chambers can be accessed through automated door openers, available during public meetings. If special accommodations are necessary to attend the meeting, please contact the City Recorder at City Hall, (503) 543-7146 or TTY (503) 378-5938 at least 24 hours in advance.
