Adam Ofstad has requested approval of a consolidated application for Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment to redesignate the subject site from Industrial to Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Map; Zone Change to rezone the subject site from Light Industrial to Expanded Commercial; Site Development Review to allow for construction of a mini-storage facility with a caretaker dwelling as well as improvements to various site amenities; and three Sensitive Lands Development Permits to allow for certain components of this development proposal to partially occur in the regulated floodplain, wetlands, and fish and riparian corridor overlay. The site is located at 53026 NW Thornton Drive, northwest of the Scappoose-Vernonia Highway and Columbia River Highway intersection, on property described as Columbia County Assessor Map #3201-C0-02701.

The Planning Commission hearing is scheduled for Thursday, July 10, 2025 at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers at Scappoose City Hall, located at 33568 E Columbia Avenue.

The City Council will consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation at the August 4, 2025 (first reading of ordinance and public hearing) and August 18, 2025 (second reading of ordinance and decision) City Council meetings. Both City Council meetings take place at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers at Scappoose City Hall, located at 33568 E Columbia Avenue. These meetings can also be attended virtually via Microsoft Teams (link available on the City’s website 7 days prior to the meeting). Quasi-judicial hearings allow verbal testimony during the Planning Commission meeting and the first City Council meeting as well as written comments prior to the deadlines indicated below

Interested parties may submit written comments by mail to City of Scappoose; N.J. Johnson; 33568 E Columbia Avenue; Scappoose, OR 97056 or by email at njohnson@scappoose.gov by Wednesday, July 9, 2025 at 5:00 pm for the Planning Commission hearing or by Friday, August 1, 2025 at 5:00 pm for the City Council hearing. Testimony (written or oral) submitted after July 9, 2025 at 5:00 pm may only provide argument but may not introduce new evidence. Issues which may provide the basis for an appeal must be raised in writing prior to the close of this public comment period 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.
