The City also requests approval of a Sensitive Lands Development Permit-Flooding (SLDP1-18) due to the floodplains on the property.

The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 22, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of Scappoose City Hall located at 33568 East Columbia Avenue.

Site Development Review is a Limited Land Use Decision and does not require interpretation or the exercise of policy or legal judgment, or a public hearing.

Sensitive Lands Development Permits require a Quasi-Judicial Hearing and oral and written testimony is permitted.

The Planning Commission's decision on the above items must be based on findings that a specific set of criteria have been or have not been met.  Comments submitted in regard to the application should be directed toward applicable sections of Title 17 (Land Use and Development) of the Scappoose Municipal Code, with particular emphasis on Chapters 17.56 (A-1, High Density Residential); 17.84 (Sensitive Lands Development-Flooding); 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); 17.162 (Procedures for Decision Making – Quasi-Judicial); and 17.164 (Procedures for Decision Making - Limited Land Use Decisions).
