March 19, 2025 Grace Wolff, Land Use Planner AKS Engineering & Forestry, LLC 3700 River Road Suite 1 Keizer, OR 97303-5699 RE: Status of MOC 25-01 to CU 24-01, DR 24-01, & ZA 24-01 “US Market gas station” at 2115 Molalla Rd (Tax Lots 051W09B001000, 1100, & 1200 [primary]) Dear Ms. Wolff: Staff reviewed the degree of completion of the Modification of Conditions (MOC) application package related to CU 24-01 for the subject property with materials submitted February 19, 2025 and determined it complete as of March 19, 2025. (The proposal is to add 6 fueling stations to the 6 previously approved for a total of 12.) The application package is tentatively scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Commission on Thursday, April 24, 2025 in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 270 Montgomery Street. The Commission will not only meet in person but also continue to video conference. Sign Posting(s) The date is tentative partly because the applicant needs to complete sign postings. (The City handles mailed notices.) Enclosed with this letter are the sign posting requirements with a certification form. It’s the applicant’s responsibility to meet these requirements on time, i.e. no later than 10 days prior to the hearing, which would equal Monday, April 14. Meeting Details A meeting would start at 7 p.m., and the scheduled start time of the application package and its order on an agenda is yet unknown. Staff would publish a staff report with a recommendation to the Commission a week prior to a hearing – for example, on April 17 for April 24. Please feel free to contact staff as the publication date approaches. The availability of commissioners and ability to attain quorum influences staff confirmation of scheduled meeting dates. ---PAGE BREAK--- Letter of completeness Mar. 19, 2025 – US Market gas station MOC – 2115 Molalla Rd – MOC 25-01 to CU 24-01, etc. Page 2 of 2 Because the Commission has not only returned to in-person meetings but also continues to video conference, individuals who want to observe or participate remotely can use a Microsoft Teams hyperlink via the calendar entry for the meeting when the entry with access appears on the City calendar, which is available at .
