Council will get its first look at Springbrook Village |
With hundreds of homes, a
luxury hotel and a shopping center with historic flair, the proposed
Springbrook Village development may help Newberg become a travel
destination rather than a town between Portland and the coast.
The Newberg City Council will review a master plan for the
development at a special meeting slated for 7 p.m. Monday at the
public safety building.
The plan details work that will be done on 450 acres of property
located to the north and east of the A-dec Inc. campus. It calls for
284 acres of residential development, 63 acres of parks and 48 acres
of commercial, mixed-use and office space. In addition, 32 acres
will house an 85-room luxury hotel, spa and restaurant.
The plan also calls for the realignment of Mountainview Drive into
an S-curve between Aspen Way and Springbrook Road, creating a new
intersection between Mountainview and Springbrook near Zimri Drive.
The first phase of the project — the addition of a roundabout to the
intersection of Springbrook Road and Crestview Drive — was completed
in early August.
The area around Hess Creek, between Aspen Way and Mountainview
Drive, will be developed into 865 lots for single-family housing.
Both Hess Creek Canyon and Springbrook Canyon will be preserved as
green spaces with adjoining public parks and a network of pedestrian
trails will circle the development.
The hotel will be located on 32 acres west of Zimri Drive; 28 acres
between Mountainview and Crestview will be developed as an expansion
of the A-dec campus.
Finally, the wedge-shaped area between Crestview Drive, Springbrook
and Portland roads and the Western-Pacific railroad line will be
developed into 220 townhouses and condominiums as well as additional
single-family lots. The existing historic schoolhouse and cannery
will become the centerpiece of a public square and retail shopping
area near the intersection of Springbrook and Crestview. |
