Council told public hearing is final step for North Bend urban-renewal plan amendment
Summary
City staff said the public hearing required by state law is the last procedural step for the North Bend urban-renewal plan amendment; the only map change is the removal of the North Bend School District parcel at the district's request.
City staff reviewed the council’s agenda item on the proposed amendment to the North Bend urban-renewal plan and described the public hearing requirement under state law as the last procedural step before the council considers adoption of Ordinance No. 2083.
The city manager said the public hearing has received public notice through GRAMA, newspaper publication, the city’s social media and utility bills. He said staff completed the required internal reviews and that the North Bend School District’s main parcel had been specifically excluded by prior request under the prior administration; the manager said that exclusion remains the only change to the map proposed in this amendment.
Council members asked clarifying questions about how the plan will present land-use descriptions and zoning. Staff explained that the plan amendment will include a bulleted list of zone names and that the controlling documents for actual zoning remain the official adopted zoning map maintained by the city and reviewed by the planning commission. Staff said the urban-renewal plan amendment does not itself change zoning; it instead characterizes the parcels and notes allowed uses with references to the city’s formal zoning controls.
The manager said the council will first hold the public hearing and then consider adoption of Ordinance No. 2083; no final council action was recorded during the discussion excerpt provided.
