NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
FOR THE CITY OF FOREST GROVE
(File No. 311-15-00032-PLNG)
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Forest Gove Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Monday, February 15, 2016, at 7:00 PM or thereafter, at the Forest Grove Community Auditorium (1915 Main Street) to consider a legislative amendment to the Forest Grove Comprehensive Plan Map to assign the Campus Employment Comprehensive Plan designation to approximately 38 acres of land added to the urban growth boundary by the Oregon Legislature in 2014. The Campus Employment designation is intended for development of industrial and office parks. Typical uses include high technology companies, call centers, research and development firms, limited retail and business services. The proposed amendment affects Washington County Map and Tax Lot Numbers 1S3070000100 and 1S306D0000700. The subject property is located near the terminus of Elm Street approximately one quarter mile south of Oregon Highway 47 near the Taylor Industrial Park. The proposal will be reviewed based on the following considerations:
1. Consistency with Applicable Comprehensive Plan Policies;
2. Consistency with Oregon Statewide Land Use Planning Goals;
3. Consistency with Metro Regional Framework Plan; and
4. Consistency with Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan or Regional Transportation Functional Plan, as applicable
All persons will be given reasonable opportunity to give testimony about this proposal responding to the review criteria. If an issue is not raised in the hearing (by person or by letter) or if the issue is not explained in sufficient detail to allow the Planning Commission to respond to the issue, then that issue cannot be used for an appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals. If additional documents or evidence are provided in support of the application, any party shall be entitled to a continuance of the hearing. Unless there is a continuance, if a participant so requests before the conclusion of the initial evidentiary hearing, the record shall remain open for at least seven days after the hearing. Information pertaining to this request, including requesting a continuance or submitting written comments, may be obtained from Senior Planner Daniel Riordan at the Community Development Department, PO Box 326, 1924 Council Street, (503) 992-3226 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (driordan@forestgrove-or.gov). The staff report will be available seven days prior to the hearing; copies will be available at cost.
