Planning Division
Welcome to the City of Woodburn Planning Division. We are located inside City Hall at 270 Montgomery Street.
The Planning Division is tasked with considering and balancing a variety of factors and stakeholders in order to provide professional guidance and expertise on land use and growth management decisions for the community. This work is done in two functional areas within the department - current planning (reviewing land development projects) and long-range planning (developing long term plans for growth and how to serve it).
A list of current land development projects under review is available here.
Disclaimer: The case file materials posted within the individual project webpages are:
- For the convenience of the community and are not encompassing of the official record for that file;
- Posted on a periodic (not daily) basis. Typically, materials are not posted until the deadline for submission has passed, in order to post all materials relating to the same deadline at the same time.
- Materials the Project Manager has designated at the time of posting to be included in the record before the reviewing authority – the entire contents of the Planning Division’s case file are not posted.
- There are additional materials in the case file that the Project Manager believes are not for the purpose of addressing whether the proposed development application complies with the applicable criteria. These additional materials are not posted. (Only materials identified by the applicant or interested parties for the purpose of addressing the applicable criteria are made a part of the “record” before the reviewing authority.)
The Planning Division’s case file may be viewed by the public Monday - Friday, excluding holidays, 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. in the Community Development Department at City Hall. Persons are encouraged to contact the Project Manager to arrange for a suitable location to review the materials in the case file.
Materials exempt under the Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.501 and 192.502 may be withheld from public review of the case file; such materials are not a part of the record before the reviewing authority in determining whether or not the proposed development complies with the applicable criteria.
