Depending on the project, contractors may need to complete the Right of Way Permit Application and the Bulk Water Use Application. The City of Maupin does not have a city-issued business license requirement to operate, but all businesses must be registered with the State of Oregon.
Maupin Municipal Code 18.30.110 states that “Development proposals within the scenic waterway district must first be approved by the state Parks and Recreation Department rivers program. Any outright permitted use allowed by the zoning ordinance which is not visible from the river, although it is within the scenic waterway, shall be allowed without any additional conditions or requirements by the city, other than those required by the zoning ordinance. [Ord. 311 § 3.10, 2020.]”. The district can be seen in the 2005 Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Map (last page). If your property is within that boundary, then you will need to reach out to Oregon Parks and Recreation Department with a Notification of Intent. If OPRD approves your plans, you can begin the Site Plan Review process with the City. Read the State Scenic Waterway NOI instructions and the Landowner’s Guide to the Oregon Scenic Waterway Program for more information. Reach out to City Hall planning staff with questions.
