Parcel # 50650 - Lewis River Apartments
Applicant has proposed the development of a high density residential development that is proposed to include nine (9) separate apartment buildings, an office and club house building, pool, gazebo, and other associated accessory buildings and/or uses. Construction is proposed to be completed in three phases, with the third phase consisting of the City’s development of a proposed park on a City-owned parcel.
The site includes area within the residential and urban conservancy shoreline designations as outlined within the City of Woodland Shoreline Master Program and falls within an established floodway and floodplain. Staff has determined that the site is impacted by riparian habitat areas, as well as the buffer of an off-site category II riverine wetland. The applicant has provided a critical area report & mitigation plan, and applied for a Critical Area Permit (CAP-23-001) and Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (SSD-23-001) to permit the proposed development.
