ABOUT THIS NOTICE:
In 1998, Oregon’s voters passed a law known as Ballot Measure 56. It requires that notices like this be mailed to landowners when a change in land use laws might limit the use of their property. The law requires the City of Rivergrove to use the above wording in such notices, even though that wording may not describe the likely effects of the change in land-use laws very well. The measure also requires the notices to say that Rivergrove has determined that the proposed land-use changes “may change the permissible uses of your property, and other properties in the affected area, and may change the value of your property.” However, the City of Rivergrove has not determined how these amendments might affect the value of your property, if at all.
REVIEW CRITERIA:
Legislative actions including amendments to the Rivergrove Land Development Ordinance (RLD) must follow a Type IV procedure subject to the requirements of Sections 6.227 to 6.230 of the RLDO. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to the City Council on the amendment. That action may include recommending approval of the amendment as presented or as modified by the Commission, recommending denial of the amendment as presented, or a continuation of the amendment to the next Planning Commission meeting.
Pursuant to ORS 197.763, failure to raise an issue by the close of the record, in person or by letter, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes appeal based on that issue.
KELSO SINGLE FAMILY REPLACEMENT HOME 5455 CHILDS
