OSU had intended to submit an application for a new District Plan to the City in early April 2015; however, the City’s legislative process will delay submittal of OSU’s District Plan.

On December 1, 2014, the Corvallis City Council initiated a legislative process to consider amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan findings and policies related to OSU.  On January 20, 2015, Mayor Biff Traber appointed three City Councilors and four Planning Commissioners to the OSU-Related Plan Review Task Force.  This group is scheduled to start work in late-February to consider amendments to the OSU-related Comprehensive Plan findings and policies.  OSU is providing technical information and data to assist the task force as they evaluate the applicable findings and policies.  The group is expected to complete their work efforts in April 2015, followed by public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.

OSU-Related Plan Review Task Force Materials

OSU hosted two public outreach meetings on December 4, 2014.  Presenters explained the strategies the university is exploring to achieve the District Plan goals, the trade-offs of each strategy, and the partnerships that make them work. Participants had an opportunity to ask questions and obtain additional clarification.  A brief presentation summarizing the input received at the October open houses was also presented.   (View Flier)

In October, OSU hosted two public open houses to share the progress of the District Plan development with the community. Representatives from OSU provided progress updates and other relevant information, such as past planning assumptions and outcomes, current statistics and trends, and goals for the next 10 years.  Participants were encouraged to express their concerns and provide comments or suggestions for achieving various goals.
