CANCELED MEETING AND RESCHEDULED HEARING

Notice is hereby given that the Crook County Planning Commission’s regularly scheduled meeting at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, has been canceled.

The following public hearing has been rescheduled to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

Record Number 217-25-000151-PLNG – Monique Vanden’Aklie on behalf of Powell Butte Farmers Club have applied for a conditional use to operate a childcare and/or nursery school facility in the Exclusive Farm Use (EFU-3) zone. The proposed facility will be licensed for a maximum of 75 individuals, up to 60 individuals being children, and be contained within a single parcel on the subject property. The specific property involved is map tax lot 1514350000400.

The hearing is being held pursuant to Crook County Code 18.172. The application is subject to review under Crook County Code, Title 17, Chapter 36 and Title 18; Chapters 16, 126, 128, 160 and 180, the Crook County Comprehensive Plan, Oregon Administrative Rules, and Oregon Revised Statutes.

Original notice of public hearing and location maps were mailed to all affected property owners, and to the appropriate entities and public agencies at least 20 days prior to the Planning Commission hearing. A copy of the staff report will be available at https://co.crook.or.us/planning-commission seven days prior to the rescheduled hearing at no cost.

The hearings will be conducted pursuant to CCC 18.172.081. Interested members of the public may provide oral testimony in favor, opposed, or neutral to the application. Written testimony or comments may be submitted to the Crook County Community Development Department by email at plan@crookcountyor.gov and may also be submitted in person or by mail to 300 NE 3rd St, Room 12, Prineville, OR 97754. Written testimony received by Friday, August 29, 2025, will be considered by staff prior to the issuance of the staff report and recommendation on this application. However, written testimony will continue to be accepted until the record closes, which may occur as soon as the conclusion of the public hearing.

Failure to raise an issue in the hearing, in person or by letter, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes an appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals based on that issue.

A copy of the application, all documents, and evidence relied upon by the applicant along with the applicable criteria are available for inspection at no cost and copies will be provided at reasonable cost in accordance with the County’s fee schedule. Please contact the Planning Division at (541)447-3211, ext. 1 or plan@crookcountyor.gov to schedule a time to inspect or to request copies.
