Planning Commission

The Planning Commission is an advisory body to the Woodburn City Council. The Commission meets every second and fourth Thursday in the Council Chambers at 7:00 p.m. The seven Planning Commissioners are appointed by the Mayor. The Planning Commission reviews certain applications during public hearings for compliance with standards and guidelines as part of making land use decisions. The Planning Commission also provides the City Council with recommendations and suggestions regarding planning-related issues, including text changes to the Comprehensive Plan and/or the Woodburn Development Ordinance.

The Commission is also the decision-making body for Type-III Applications such as:

  • Design Review
  • Conditional Use
  • Subdivision
