This Plan articulates a vision for the riverfront area of the City north and south of the John Day River, between approximately Patterson Bridge Road and the Downtown area. Key objectives of the JDIG Plan include: • Integrated system of parks, trails and natural areas • New facilities and amenities for community members and visitors, including redevelopment of the former Oregon Pine mill site and re?use of selected structures there • Re?use of water from a proposed new state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant/water reclamation facility for a new water garden and hydroponic greenhouses • Roads and trails providing access and circulation within the area and to other parts of the community • Redesign and relocation of the City’s wastewater treatment plant The JDIG Plan will be adopted as a supporting element of Comprehensive Plan (Urbanization Chapter) and provides further information about future plans for this area. A detailed set of proposed amendments to the Development Code in the form of a proposed John Day Innovation Gateway (IG) Overlay Zone are also proposed. ORDINANCE NO. 19-178-02 – AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE JOHN DAY DEVELOPMENT CODE TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS RELATING TO CITY PARTICIPATION IN THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM (TYPE IV PROCEDURE) – AMD-19-02 The City of John Day (the “City”) proposes to amend the Community Development Code to comply with the Federal flood plain management regulations relating to City participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. The purpose of the proposed amendments is to promote public health, safety and welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flooding in flood hazard areas and to adopt the best available geographic data defining locations that are at a high risk of flooding. This land use hearing is being published to comply with Oregon Revised Statue (ORS) 227.186 with the following required language: The City has determined that adoption of this ordinance may affect the permissible uses of your property, and other properties in the affected overlay zone and may change the value of your property. ORDINANCE NO. 19-179-03 – AN ORDINANCE TO ADOPT MINOR DEVELOPMENT CODE AMEND- MENTS RELATED TO 1) BROADENING THE CONDITIONS FOR TEMPORARY RECREATIONAL VEHICLE USE AS DWELLINGS IN ALL ZONES, AND 2) DELETING THE RESTRICTIONS ON RES- IDENTIAL DWELLINGS IN THE D AND GC ZONES TO ALLOW HOUSING UNITS THAT EXISTED PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 24, 2005 BUT WERE OCCUPIED AS BUSINESSES TO CONVERT BACK TO RESIDENTIAL USES (TYPE IV PROCEDURE) – AMD-19-03 Certain residents requested the City of John Day (the “City”) and John Day City Council (the “Council”) evaluate options for making more housing choices available within the city limits in zones where hous- ing was previously restricted. Residents also asked for greater flexibility in the code to allow temporary dwelling in recreational vehicles while new homes are under construction and in other special circum- stances that could be reviewed by the City and the Council that are prohibited in the current Code. The City Planning Commission will hear testimony on these issues at the public hearing prior to the Council deliberating on the adoption of the code amendments by ordinance.
