Site Plan Review

Site Plan Review, is a process by which development for Commercial, Industrial, Public and Institutional, and other similar proposed developments undergo to determine whether or not they satisfy the standards of the Sherwood Zoning and Community Development Code as it applies to uses, dimensions, parking requirements, landscaping, and other applicable standards.  Site Plan review is conducted by staff, the Hearings Officer, or the Sherwood Planning Commission depending on the size and complexity of the development. The size of the site plan determines the land use process and level of review. It  ranges from a Type II process for a smaller sites under 15,000 sq. ft., a Type III process is for sites over 15,000 and under 40,000 sq. ft. and Type IV process is for sites over 40,0000 sq. ft.  After the initial approval, staff conducts a Final Site Plan review to ensure that all of the conditions of approval imposed by the original Site Plan Review are satisfied.

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.
