This Plan is intended to guide the growing land use needs of the City. As required by State Senate Bill 100, the Plan addresses and is consistent with established statewide goals and guidelines. At the same time, the goals and policies included within the Plan reflect primarily local concerns. Newberg residents and their representatives have produced this plan based upon community needs and expectations for the future.
In preparing the Plan, the first step was a land use inventory and a general analysis of needs through the year 2000. Based upon findings, an urban growth boundary was proposed and, after numerous public hearings and several revisions, was formally adopted by the City Council. The Plan was updated in 1990.With the adoption of the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) in August, 1977 (amended June, 1979), the planning area was defined. Work was begun on a detailed inventory report to provide background material for the comprehensive plan. The inventory was prepared in draft form and sent out to interested agencies, public officials and citizens for review and comment. The final report, entitled Inventory of Natural and Cultural Resources, was completed and made available in January, 1978. The initial Inventory examined existing resources in the Newberg area and projects future needs for these resources through the year 2000. The Inventory was updated in 1990 and adjusted to meet future needs through the year 2010. Resources described include agricultural and forest lands, mineral and aggregate resources, housing, public facilities, transportation, and other areas of public concern.
The Comprehensive Plan is updated as the State regulations and City needs change, the last amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was in May 2023. The most up to-date version can be found below.
