Comprehensive Plan Update
The City of Woodburn has spent the past eight years on tasks to update its Comprehensive Plan, which functions as the blueprint for how the city will grow over the next 20 years. This process involved completing various plans and studies that provided the basis for updating the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan and Woodburn Development Ordinance. These plans and studies included an updated housing needs analysis, a buildable lands analysis, a wetlands study, an updated transportation systems plan, a parks master plan, a public facilities plan, and an economic opportunities analysis and strategy.
Based on the information provided by these plans and studies and public input provided at Planning Commission and City Council meetings and hearings, the City has determined that Woodburn does not have sufficient buildable land within its current Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) for the next 20 years. The City proposes to expand the UGB to provide for planned growth. The City will also update the comprehensive plan and development ordinances based on the information provided by the plans and studies and consistent with state planning goals and rules. In addition, the City proposes to change the comprehensive plan designation and zoning of many properties in the UGB to be consistent with the proposed comprehensive plan.
Below is the ordinance (including attachments) that was adopted by the City Council at its October 31, 2005 meeting to implement these various changes.

Some of these files are fairly large, and are offered individually below to reduce the amount of time necessary to download and view the figures. The largest of the files have the actual file size listed to the right; the two files in bold red are very large, and we suggest that only those with high-speed internet connections attempt to download these. Most of the files are detailed maps, and can be viewed in fine detail using the 'zoom' tool in Adobe Acrobat, which can be found on the Acrobat toolbar and looks like a magnifying glass.
