Planning commission approves two-lot partition at 1226 NW Park Ave in Lock Martin Industrial Subdivision
Summary
The Estacada Planning Commission on Jan. 15 approved a two-lot partition at 1226 NW Park Ave (Lock Martin Industrial Subdivision), splitting a roughly 1-acre parcel into ~0.54- and ~0.46-acre lots. Approval included six staff conditions, and the commission voted to approve the partition with the conditions as presented.
The Estacada Planning Commission on Jan. 15 approved a two-lot partition application for Tax Lot 34E17B at 1226 Northwest Park Avenue in the Lock Martin Industrial Subdivision.
Staff presented the application for Land Partition 2024-04-LP, which proposes to divide an approximately 1-acre site into two lots of about 0.54 and 0.46 acres for future industrial development. The site is in the M-1 Light Industrial zone and is surrounded by industrial uses; staff said it is not adjacent to residential zones. Staff recommended approval with six conditions tied to utilities, frontage and site improvements, final plat requirements and a two-year approval window.
The applicant’s representative, Michael McElroy of 1275 Northeast Cooper Lane, Estacada, said he represents Steve and Tiffany Locke and that the partition will accommodate a local company seeking space and would create two system development charges (SDCs) instead of one. McElroy said utilities are already stubbed and that the water lateral is oversized to serve both new lots; easements will be recorded as needed and city public-works coordination has occurred.
Planning staff identified the municipal-code chapters relevant to the application as EMC 16.39 (Light Industrial), 16.74 (Concurrency), 16.116 (Subdivision Design Standards and Improvements) and 16.120 (Partitions) and reported that the application satisfies the applicable criteria. The six recommended conditions are: approval consistent with the preliminary plan; utilities provided underground prior to final plat approval; sidewalks and driveways installed prior to building permits; no partial lot sales before final plat approval; subsequent partition applications within one year subject to planning commission determination; and a two-year approval validity window.
Commissioner Ryan moved to approve Land Partition 2024-04-LP Lock Martin with staff conditions; the motion was seconded and carried by voice/raised-hand vote. The commission recorded no public opposition during the hearing, and staff will finalize the record and final plat paperwork with the applicant.
Next steps: staff will finalize the conditions and the applicant must meet conditions (including underground utilities and frontage/site improvements as specified) before final plat approval. Any appeals to the city council must be raised before the close of the record at the final evidentiary hearing with sufficient specificity to allow response.
