body
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:
On July 15, 2016, the Planning Division received an application for a Comprehensive Plan Change to change the designation from “Industrial” to “Commercial,” a Neighborhood Plan Change from “Employment without Residential” to “Commercial,” and a Zone Change from IP (Industrial Park) to CG (General Commercial).
Pursuant to ORS 197.010(1), an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Map must be approved by the City Council. Previously, the Salem Planning Commission made the determination for approval of a Comprehensive Plan Map Change. However, in light of a recent decision by the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) Housing Land Advocates v. City of Happy Valley LUBA No. 2016-031, in which LUBA concluded that a Comprehensive Plan Map Change must be adopted by a local government’s governing body, the City of Salem has adjusted the policy to be consistent with State Law.
The Planning Commission issued a decision recommending approval of the Comprehensive Plan Change and Neighborhood Plan Change request to the City Council on November 2, 2016. On November 14, 2016 the City Council, by majority vote, initiated the review of the Planning Commission’s decision.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
On December 5, 2016, the City Council held a public hearing to review the Planning Commission’s decision for the Comprehensive Plan Change, Neighborhood Plan Change and Zone Change. On December 5, 2016 The City Council deliberated and voted to APPROVE the Comprehensive Plan Change, DENY the Neighborhood Plan Change, and AFFIRM the Planning Commission’s decision approving the Zone Change.
The facts and findings supporting the Comprehensive Plan Map Change can be found in Ordinance No. 21-16.
On January 9, 2017, the City Council voted to advance Ordinance Bill No. 23-16 to second reading for enactment
