BACKGROUND
Beginning in 2010, the Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO) was completely revised to make
it easier to understand and administer. With any significant redraft of a complicated ordinance such
Legislative Amendment LA 2016-03 Page 1 of 5
Exhibit C
Page 2 of 5
as the WDO, mistakes and omissions inevitably occur. Since adoption, staff has identified
inconsistencies with temporary sign standards in Commercial and Industrial zones, which are now
being addressed with these amendments.
A Target Industry Analysis (TIA) was completed this past summer, which provided a comprehensive
factual basis for describing Woodburn's economy. The report, which was partially funded by the
Land Conservation and Development Department (LCDC), Marion County and Mid -Willamette
Valley Council of Governments (COG), provided the City with a current independent analysis of
Woodburn's economy. This was used to identify the City's economic opportunities and the possible
best use of the Southwest Industrial Reserve (SWIR) as well as other industrial areas. Specific
amendments are included which implement the TIA. The Commission conducted a public hearing
on November 10th recommending that Council approve those portions of LA 2016-03 dealing with
temporary signage and implementation of the Target Industry Analysis.
At its October workshop meeting, the Planning Commission also discussed modifications to the WDO
to allow accessory dwelling units (ADU's) and requested more information before forwarding any
recommendation to the City Council. That discussion was continued until November 10, 2016, at
which time the Commission concluded that more information was needed about the actual potential
for ADU's in Woodburn. The Commission also wanted community input before proceeding with
any recommendations. As a result, amendments associated with ADU's are not part of this
amendment package and will occur separately, if at all.
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS OF FACT
WDO 4.01 Decision Making Procedures
Findings: Under Section 4.01.02.E of the Woodburn Development Ordinance, decisions involving
legislative actions where the City Council amends the City's land use regulations are Type V
decisions. The Planning Commission holds an initial public hearing on the proposal and makes a
recommendation to the City Council. The City Council then holds a final public hearing and makes
the City's final decision. The City Council's action is the City's final decision and is appealable to
the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) within 21 days after it becomes final.
Conclusion: This legislative amendment is correctly processed as a Type V decision.
Findings: Under Section 4.01.03, the City Council may initiate any type of land use action by a motion
designating the appropriate City department to complete and file the application. The Planning
Commission conducted a workshop on October 20th and a public hearing on November 10, 2016 to
consider the proposed amendments.
Conclusion: The City Council directed the Planning Commission to consider the amendments leading
up to this hearing.
Legislative Amendment LA 2016-03 Page 2 of 5
Exhibit C
Page 3 of 5
Findings: Under Section 4.01.10, the Planning Commission must hold at least one public hearing
before recommending action on a legislative proposal. Any interested person may appear and provide
written or oral testimony on the proposal, at, or before, the hearing. The Director notifies the Oregon
Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) at least 35 days before the first hearing.
Once the Planning Commission hearing has been scheduled and notices have been sent out, the
Director prepares and makes available a report on the proposal at least seven days before the hearing.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the Planning Commission adopts a recommendation on the proposal,
which is sent to City Council. If the Commission recommends an adoption of some form of the
proposal, the Commission must prepare and forward a report and recommendation to that effect to
the City Council.
Upon receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission on a legislative action, the City
Council holds at least one public hearing on the proposal. Any interested person may provide written
or oral testimony on the proposal at, or prior to, the hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, the
City Council may adopt, modify or reject the legislative proposal, or it may remand the matter to the
Planning Commission for further consideration. If the decision is to adopt at least some form of the
proposal, and thereby enact or amend the City's land use regulations, the City Council's decision is
enacted as an ordinance.
Not later than five working days following the City Council's final decision, the Director mails notice
of the decision to the DLCD, in accordance with ORS Chapter 197.
Conclusions: The Planning Commission is scheduled to conduct a public hearing before making
recommendations to the City Council. Notice has been provided to the Oregon Department of Land
Conservation and Development (DLCD). Background information, including the staff report, has
been made available for public inspection. The City Council will conduct a public hearing to receive
the Commission's recommendations and public input. All provisions of this section of the WDO and
State statute have been met.
Findings: Public notice was provided for all public hearings in accordance with Section 4.01.14 of
the WDO. Individual property owner notice was not required under Ballot Measure 56. Notice of
the public hearing was published in the Woodburn Independent newspaper.
All notifications contained information regarding the time, date, and location of the public hearings,
the file number, and staff contact information for questions or submission of testimony. All
notification documents provided information regarding the public hearing procedures and how to
review or obtain copies of the documents to be considered.
Conclusion: Notification requirements consistent with the provisions of the Woodburn Development
Ordinance and statutory requirements were met.
Woodburn Comprehensive Plan
Findings: The Comprehensive Plan (Volume 1 Goals and Policy Amendments) states:
Legislative Amendment LA 2016-03 Page 3 of 5
Exhibit C
Page 4 of 5
"The keystone of plan implementation is the Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO).
This WDO ensures that the location and design of various land uses and in some cases,
the timing of those land uses, is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The WDO
ensures that incompatible uses do not occur, while allowing flexibility consistent with the
purpose of the plan."
Signage is an important tool for advertising businesses. Temporary signage is used to promoted
special events, sales, etc. The proposed amendments to temporary sign standards clarifies those
standards within the commercial and industrial zones.
The recently completed TIA identified employment clusters with the greatest potential to locate and
grow in Woodburn. The proposed amendments implement the recommendations of the TIA.
Conclusions: The proposed amendments clarify standards for temporary signage in commercial and
industrial zones. Additionally, the amendments implementing the TIA further Woodburn's economic
potential by recognizing appropriate industrial activities within the SWIR and other industrial zones.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Findings: The Comprehensive Plan (Volume 1 Goals and Policy Amendments) states:
"The planning process is continuous. There is no plan that can foresee all of the problems
the future will bring. In most cases for decision, the Planning Commission and Council
will be petitioned by private citizens to change the Comprehensive Plan designation of a
particular parcel of property. This is a quasi-judicial activity and should follow the
procedures set out for quasi-judicial rulings. The Planning Commission should ensure
that any change it makes in the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with other goals and
policies established in this Plan. These changes, in general, should be justified by a solid
body of evidence presented by the petitioner showing the following:
Compliance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan;
2. Compliance with the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan;
Compliance with Statewide goals and guidelines;
4. That there is a public need for the change;
That this land best suits that public need;"
Proposed amendments clarify temporary signage standards and allow greater flexibility in
development and use standards within the SWIR and other industrial zones.
Conclusions: The Comprehensive Plan recognizes that plans and implementing ordinances like the
WDO continue to evolve and change over time. The amendments are consistent with the intent of
the Comprehensive Plan and statewide goals and guidelines.
Legislative Amendment LA 2016-03 Page 4 of 5
Exhibit C
Page 5of5
Findings: The State adopted 19 goals for state and local land use decisions. The statewide planning
