Planning staff described proposed study areas, acreage totals, and landowner preferences and took public comment from landowners and planning‑committee members before council directed staff to prepare additional information and schedule a follow‑up work session.

The planning presentation (staff member identified in the record as \"Beth\") summarized the study-area mapping and acreage figures presented to the council, saying the analysis identified multiple candidate areas (referred to in the presentation as Areas 4, 7 and 8) and that the parcels prioritized for UGB inclusion were chosen because they are easier to serve with infrastructure. The presentation noted a 23‑acre parcel owned by Robert Kesse adjacent to the current UGB and reported that some landowners in Subarea 7 prefer designation as urban reserves rather than immediate inclusion in the UGB.

Developer and landowner Scott Parker and business partner Angela Row spoke in favor of rezoning a parcel they described as a long‑held family property and advancing an \"Innovation District\" anchored by a hotel, advanced manufacturing, workforce training, housing and recreation. Row said the plan would be shaped through a master‑planning process and a collaborative stakeholder committee: \"This is not about 1 single landowner unilaterally changing zone. This is about working together to build a district that benefits the entire community for decades to come.\" (Comment attributed to Angela Row.)

Other commenters raised objections and cautions. Brian Rosenthal, who said he served on advisory groups, warned the proposed acreage could exceed the community's 20‑year supply and thereby limit other commercial rezoning opportunities elsewhere: \"If we do this, nobody can change other land because we're all the way we can't add more land to our thing because we've only become 31 acres over our 20‑year supply,\" he said. A nearby resident with farming experience disputed staff's farmland classification of parts of Subarea 7 and said those parcels are higher‑value cropland than shown in the packet.

Planning staff clarified several process limits several times during comment: inclusion in the UGB or urban reserves does not change county zoning or taxation until annexation is requested by the landowner; annexation is by landowner election; and, under the current rules staff cited, parcels brought into the UGB must abut city limits and associated rights‑of‑way.

Council did not adopt the proposal at the meeting. Instead the council asked staff to prepare additional options and technical analyses, invited the volunteer 50‑year plan committee and planning commission to present directly to council in a public follow‑up session, and agreed to schedule a special work session within a few weeks. Staff asked council members to submit any specific follow‑up questions in advance to help prepare answers; council discussion referenced a possible deadline of about a week to 2 weeks for those questions. No formal rezoning or UGB amendment was passed at the meeting.

The item remains in discussion status. Next steps recorded in the meeting: staff will finish technical analysis and findings for the candidate UGB and urban reserve areas and will return with hearings schedule and additional information for council direction. Council members said they want options that reflect community feedback and asked for clarity on service, swap/land‑replacement options, and how designations would affect surrounding land and future rezoning requests.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","8-18-2025 City Council meeting ","oneSentenceSummary","City Council reviewed proposed Urban Growth Boundary and urban reserve changes Aug. 18, 2025, including a request to rezone roughly 51 acres for an Innovation District, but took no final vote and asked staff for more analysis and a follow‑up work session.","taxTitle","Scappoose, Columbia County, Oregon","taxId",70335,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6137550,"Developer updates neighbors on JP West/Keys Road project; promises quieter equipment, weekly updates",213,3158000,3371000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5598917-1f3a7239d3eb4b35020242d27dbeeeab&start=3158&end=3371","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5598917-1f3a7239d3eb4b35020242d27dbeeeab/thumbnail_3158000.jpg","/articles/6137550/Oregon/Developer-updates-neighbors-on-JP-WestKeys-Road-project-promises-quieter-equipment-weekly-updates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6137550-9c1bb3870bd54e9e78e599ea2c3207f9/orig.mp4?Expires=1773617525&Signature=MgjzOTgj2vMVasj8tpR-z7axEpf3lGubqVgw5bq5xrAQXDN6h8bHNleWnBy3sq0nmyyjoBlZfpcO-nZWtPIFSwthoup61TtDWtxK9msxXPH~dKOFpvHd78llvgi1UpN2rGHaphO7Gmdvy83iyiLBN7Q3H2lsyDxMymgtZlZCVavh0UOFX3pSCju7N6u2hTghF-RObQj01N~zALSVoWGEGmgAtdQmfUrga3vGa3vFOnBF5dsC2teX2LkzYrAwfnERf64cSsU6cV3zkeX22kFp1YdoYCUSlNF2kfji2vCPsUB8LsVSPG-a16RZQX6oY7sI6l8nerniLGDEkqfrI-tVwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A representative of David Dukesley Homes provided a construction update for a development connected to JP West and Keys Road during the Aug. 18 meeting.

The presenter said heavy equipment access would peak during road and paving work, likely through mid‑October, and that utility work would follow; they estimated substantial completion of the current phase around the end of the year or early next year. The project manager, Catherine Joseph, was introduced as the site lead and will serve as a public point of contact.

Lisa said a massage business approved in early 2024 continued operating after ownership changed in June 2024 and the new owner lacked a valid license and a facility permit. She said the city allowed the business to stay open and that the license record in January 2025 showed the license active despite the change in ownership. Lisa said she later learned state regulators found the business had operated without a valid license and that the city had considered referring the matter to the state but took no enforcement action in a timely way. She asked the council to \"review what happened with the business license, determine whether procedures were followed or ignored, examine how past reports of police and school‑related retaliation were handled, and most importantly, tell the public what went on and what will be done to prevent it from happening again.\" (Comment attributed to Lisa.)

Lisa also said she and her family have experienced harassment and retaliation after raising concerns. She told the council she has included council members on related emails and documentation and asked for council action and public accountability.

Council members acknowledged the comment; no formal investigation or motion was recorded on the transcript during the meeting. Staff and council did not state a formal next step in the public record at that time.","A resident told council she has repeatedly reported alleged police inaction, licensing lapses at a local massage business and retaliation affecting her family; she asked council to review the handling of license approvals, enforcement steps and police responses.

Presenters said the county has several kiosk units on hand and estimated costs for production: smaller kiosks roughly $1,500 each (labor and materials) and larger kiosks about $3,000 each.

The presentation included newly discovered historical slides and maps the presenters said had not been widely seen, and committee members said they are coordinating with the local historical society to refine stories, images and locations. Committee members requested city acknowledgment that the project is ongoing and asked for help identifying locations, additional funding and possible partners for development and fabrication.

Council members and staff expressed support for the project and noted the potential for grant funding assistance. Staff said the kiosks could be phased (build a few now and add more later) and reminded the committee that final design, accessibility features and technology (for example QR codes or audio) would need further analysis.

The presenter (identified in the record as Haley) traced the concept to an original Japanese installation and to a website that maps similar memorial phones worldwide. She said the wind phone offers a private, tactile space for grieving people who may lack access to counseling: \"The tactile experience and the ability to close the door and connect the body to the experience\" were described as central to the concept (comment attributed to Haley).

Council members and staff discussed practical considerations including vandalism risk, maintenance, privacy, accessibility, and alternative lower‑maintenance designs (for example a QR code linking to resources). Council president and other members expressed enthusiasm in principle and suggested working with the city arts manager, parks staff and local partners to identify an appropriate, quieter site if Heritage Park proves too public. One council member suggested the Arts Foundation might help with fabrication costs; staff indicated they would coordinate and that volunteers could help with logistics.

No formal permit or funding was approved at the meeting. Council signaled consensus to continue work with the proposer and asked staff to return with a recommendation on location, design, security and maintenance, including an estimate of staff time and any budget implications.","A local grief‑support volunteer proposed installing a 'wind phone' — a nonconnected, symbolic rotary phone for private grief expression — at Heritage Park.
