Plan Amendments

A comprehensive plan amendment is any change to the text or maps of the City of Sherwood’s adopted Comprehensive Plan. A comprehensive plan amendment usually deletes, supplements, changes the text, or modifies the land use map designations. Comprehensive plan amendments are legislative changes to the City’s long range planning documents and require public hearings before the City’s Planning Commission and City Council.  This is a Type V land use process. The City Council makes all final decisions on a comprehensive plan amendment. 

A neighborhood meeting notice is not a formal land use application.  A neighborhood meeting is required to be held by the developer for certain types of land use applications PRIOR to submitting an application for land development to the City (Type III and above).  If you receive a notice in the mail, it is because you live within 1000 feet of a piece of property that someone is considering for development.
