Notice is hereby given that the Coos Bay City Council public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, November 7, 2023, has been POSTPONED to Tuesday, November 21, 2023, at 6 p.m. in the Coos Bay City Hall Council Chambers located at 500 Central Avenue in Coos Bay Oregon to consider the proposal to amend the text of the Comprehensive Plan and Development Code. A Joint Work Session including Coos Bay City Council, North Bend City Council, and the Coos County Board of Commissioners is scheduled for Thursday, November 9, 2023, at 6 p.m. in the Coos Bay City Hall Council Chambers to consider this matter in advance of the scheduled public hearing(s). The delay will give community members more time to review and comment on the proposal. The Coos Bay Estuary Management Plan (CBEMP) Phase 1 revision represents Coos County’s first step towards improving the plan’s ability to meet the needs of the communities and local governments encompassed by the plan. CBEMP Phase 1 revisions are intended to: 1) improve plan usability; 2) update some maps and inventory data; 3) improve coordination between jurisdictions; 4) update the 40-year-old plan with current agency names, laws and regulations. CBEMP Phase 1 revisions do not include any changes to zoning or management unit designations—those will be addressed in subsequent phases.
