Stayton commission to consider allowing applicants to request code amendments; hearing set for September

Aug 15, 2024

Staff proposed a more detailed application process to let members of the public initiate code amendments to the land‑use code; the commission voted to hold a public hearing in September to review a drafted procedure and application form.

Planning staff told the commission that repeated requests to change the use table showed a need for a clearer, applicant‑initiated code amendment process.

Staff said they will draft a detailed process and a form similar to those used for zone changes and comprehensive plan amendments so applicants can more easily request text changes.
