Woodburn Council Adopts Policy Framework for Expedited Urban Growth Boundary Expansion

The resolution, developed in consultation with Mountain View Development, aims to guide developers and protect the city's interests. Key changes include framing it as a policy directive rather than a land use decision, outlining preliminary site plan processes, and addressing affordable housing dispersal.
