CUP Extension Discussion
Planning Commission Chair Thelen:
At the November Port Orford Planning Commission meeting, a brief mention was made of
adding criteria in the Municipal Code for CUP extensions. This action is seriously needed and
long overdue! I hope that the commission will take up the task soon.
Following is my suggestion for revising the language, as a possible starting point for your
discussion.
From the current PO Municipal Code:
"17.32.060 Time limit on a permit for conditional use.
Authorization of a conditional use shall be void after one year or such lesser time as the
authorization may specify unless substantial construction has taken place. However, the
Planning Commission may extend authorization for an additional period not to exceed one
year, upon written application to the Planning Commission."
Suggested revision, with language to be removed underlined, new language in bold type:
Authorization of a conditional use shall be void after one year or such lesser time as the
authorization may specify unless substantial construction has taken place. However, the
Planning Commission may extend authorization for an additional period not to exceed one
year a maximum of one additional year, upon written application to the Planning
Commission and review of the conditions of approval at a quasi-judicial public hearing.
To suggest this revision, I have consulted the Model Development Code for Small Cities from
DLCD, which is available at this link: https://www.oregon.gov/lcd/TGM/Pages/Model-
Code.aspx
Most helpful were Article 4.4.040 (B) (14) on PDF page 44 regarding CUP renewals, and
Article 4.1.040 regarding quasi-judicial hearings (beginning on PDF page 11).
Of course, your discussion should include reviewing applicable ORS provisions as well as
advice of the city planner, Ms. Shoji, and the city attorney. What seems to me essential is a full
review of the terms of the original CUP, whether the applicant for renewal is in compliance,
and whether the conditions should be revised under the extension.
Thank you for your consideration,
