CITY OF WEST LINN NOTICE OF CITY COUNCIL HEARING ANNEXATION OF 2.3 ACRES AT 19676 KAPTEYNS STREET FILE NO. ANX-21-01 The West Linn City Council will hold a virtual public hearing on Monday, February 8, 2021, starting at 6:00 p.m. to consider a City-initiated annexation of 2.3 acres at 19676 Kapteyns Street per ORS 222.750. The proposal will apply an R-7 zone designation. The area is identified by Clackamas County as assessor’s map 2S 1E 23BC tax lot 1500. The decision will be based on the criteria of Community Development Code (CDC), Chapter 81, West Linn Municipal Code 2.920-2.930, Metro Code 3.09.045 and 3.09.050(D), and Oregon Revised Statute 222.050 and 222.750. Annexations go through a two-step hearing process. Step one is a land use decision. The Council determines whether the proposed annexation is consistent with the intent of the West Linn Comprehensive Plan and CDC Chapter 81. The Council will assign a zone for the property. At the conclusion of step one, the Council may, in its discretion: 1) decide to set a public hearing for the annexation request (step two), 2) delay a public hearing on the requested annexation or 3) pass a resolution placing the annexation request on a ballot for an advisory vote. Step two review for annexation proposals is a policy decision that applies the standards of WLMC 2.930. Both Step 1 and Step 2 can occur on the same night. The annexation application is available for inspection at City Hall or via the web site at https://westlinnoregon.gov/planning/19676-kapteyns-street-annexation. Copies of the annexation application can be obtained for a minimal charge per page. At least 15 days prior to the City Council meeting, a copy of the staff report will be available for inspection at no cost.

All comments submitted for consideration of this appeal should relate specifically to the applicable criteria. Failure to raise an issue by written comment or at the hearing, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to respond to the issue, precludes raising the issue on appeal before the Land Use Board of Appeals.
