Proposed Land Development Ordinance On August 18, 2008, the Forest Grove Planning Commission will hold a public hearing regarding the adoption of a new Land Development Ordinance that will replace the existing Zoning and Land Division Ordinances. In addition, a proposed set of design guidelines are also proposed to provide an alternative process for multi-family and commercial projects. The intent of the new code is generally to readopt the existing provisions in a more useable format without new substantive changes in process or requirements. However, the amendments will create some changes. Part of those changes will eliminate two existing comprehensive plan designations and zone districts. Affected property owners have been notified that adoption of these amendments may affect the permissible uses of their property and other properties in the affected zone and may change the value of their property.
