Public meetings will
precede hotel construction
By Rudy Diaz
Blue Mountain Eagle
Construction may begin
on a new hotel in John Day
as early as March 2020.
The hotel will be located
near the Oregon Pine Prop-
erty east of Patterson Bridge
Road. The city plans to sell
1.7 acres of land it owns at
the site for $74,052 — $1
per square foot — to facil-
itate the deal, according to
City Manager Nick Green.
“The city will hold a
public hearing before the
John Day Planning Com-
mission related to the
land partition of the Ore-
gon Pine property and site
design for the future hotel,”
said Green. “If the planning
commission approves the
site design and land parti-
tion, the city council will
then hold a public hearing
on the sale of the property.
We are going to try and
hold that meeting imme-
diately following the plan-
ning commission hearing.”
Notice of the hear-
ing will be published in
the Blue Mountain Eagle
21 days prior to the meet-
ing. The goal is to schedule
these hearings in February.
There will possibly be a
study session with the plan-
ning commission in Janu-
ary to review the applica-
tion materials and address
any concerns in prepara-
tion for the public hearing
in February, according to
Green.
“Site design review will

If all approvals have

include a traffic impact
analysis, which has to
be reviewed by Oregon

hotel is from a state high-
