PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
WHAT: City of Rockaway Beach Public Hearing on Ordinance 2025-05 Amending Zoning Ordinance Related to Flood Hazard Overlay Zone and Public Hearing on Ordinance 2025-06 Amending Comprehensive Plan Related to Flood Hazard Overlay Zone
WHEN: Wednesday, November 12, 2025 – 6:00 P.M.
WHERE: Rockaway Beach City Hall, 276 Hwy 101 – Civic Facility
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT?
Per the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), all communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are required to implement Pre-Implementation Compliance Measures (PICMs). These PICMs provide communities with the authority to regulate/limit/prevent development in Special Floodplain Hazard Areas (SFHAs).
This is a significant opportunity to protect our precious floodplains and wetlands and improve public safety. These measures must assure “no net loss” to one or more key floodplain functions. Three broad options were provided which roughly translate to:
Permit-by-Permit – This is considered to be the least protective of SFHAs
Model Ordinance – Moderately protective of SFHAs
Prohibit Development – Most protective of SFHAs
It is important to note that there are active high-level lawsuits that have delayed final direction from FEMA, but these interim ordinance and comprehensive plan modifications will set the stage for how well a community can protect its SFHAs in the meantime. What the City of Rockaway Beach is proposing to adopt on November 12th, is the least protective option of Permit-by-Permit. In fact, the City stated that: “Adoption of the ordinances will ensure compliance with the minimum standards for participation in the NFIP in Oregon” (emphasis added)
HOW TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT
• Written Comments may be submitted electronically by sending an email no later than 48 hours prior to the meeting to CityHall@Corb.us
• In Person – sign-up sheet and instructions will be located on the table outside of the meeting room
• Virtually on Zoom – use the “raise hand” feature when the Mayor announces it is time to do so
POTENTIAL TALKING POINTS (questions dick.nccwp@gmail.com)
Request that City does not proceed with the least protective option
Ask the City to consider prohibiting development in the SFHAs which would:
Prevent catastrophic loss to property
Protect our precious wetlands
Protect the groundwater wells that are part of our drinking water system
Protect several species of fish that rely on these areas
Protect other critical species that rely on these ecosystems
Reduce flooding potential
Demonstrating “No Net Loss” to a key floodplain function is extremely difficult to accomplish, regulate, or monitor.
Detailed information on the City’s proposed ordinance and comprehensive plan modifications can be found at Community Development – City of Rockaway Beach
NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community water sources regardless of who owns the land, and wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work, and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that we all are entitled to have.

A CONVERSATION with PNW’s incredibly prolific and highly entertaining NY Times Bestselling Authors LISA JACKSON, NANCY BUSH, AND ROZ NOONAN.
SINISTER
Kensington authors Lisa Jackson, Nancy Bush, and Rosalind Noonan unite their talents in this riveting novel of family secrets, obsession, and murder.
Twenty years ago, a fire ravaged the Dillinger family’s old homestead, killing Judd Dillinger and crippling his girlfriend. Most people blamed a serial arsonist who’d been seen around town. But strange things are happening in Prairie Creek, Wyoming, again.
Ira Dillinger, the family’s wealthy patriarch, has summoned his children home for his upcoming wedding. Eldest son, Colton, and his siblings don’t approve of their father’s gold-digging bride-to-be. But someone is setting fires, just like in the past…and this time there will be no survivors.
THEIR NEWEST INDIVIDUAL TITLES:
IT HAPPENED ON THE LAKE by Lisa Jackson.
Twenty years after tragedy and scandal shattered her life, Harper Reed Prescott returns to her family’s isolated house on Lake Twilight — a place haunted by whispers of death and disappearance. She’s ready to leave the past behind, but someone is watching… and the lake isn’t done with her yet.
THAT MISSING PIECE IS KILLING ME (An Alice Pepper Lonely Hearts and Puzzle Club Mystery Book) by Roz Noonan.
Librarian Alice Pepper always had a natural talent for figuring out people and puzzles in the small Oregon town of West Hazel. But as a mystery permeates the quiet PNW community, murder is a challenge she’s not prepared to solve . . .
THE PSYCHIC by Nancy Bush.
In a chilling, intensely eerie novel of suspense from the New York Times bestselling author of The Camp and The Babysitter, a woman haunted by unreliable psychic visions must decide how far to trust herself when it comes to stopping a killer. Because this new vision is different. This one won’t be ignored.

) Worm Compost Bin
The Nehalem Bay Garden Club had this worm bin donated and they are selling it for $100 OBO with ALL of the money going to the North County Food Bank.
For more information contact nibbs1111@gmail.com
From VermiHut website:
The VermiHut Plus worm compost bin is the advanced model under the VermiHut. It converts the kitchen food waste from your kitchen into organic fertilizer for your garden. The VermiHut Plus is the next generation of the internationally well-known VermiHut worm bin.
It’s easy to use! Just fill a working tray with worm bedding, red worms and food scraps. As the worms finish consuming the food scraps, they will migrate upward into the tray above, leaving rich castings behind. In ideal conditions, 2lbs or 1kg worms can consume 1 lb or 0.5 kg of food scraps per day on average. A 5-tray worm bin can house 10 lbs or 5 kgs of worms. Therefore, it can help to reduce 5 lbs or 2.5 kgs food scraps per day. The VermiHut Plus provides the perfect capacity for household food waste management.

From a local satisfied user:
We have had a worm bin for a little over a year. We use it for our kitchen vegetable and fruit scraps, shredded paper, and some garden cuttings. One of the benefits is the leachate or “liquid gold” that we collect from the bottom of the bin. We use this liquid to fertilize our plants and have had great results. We mix the leachate with water using 10 parts water to 1 part leachate. It’s great source of fertilizer, beneficial for sick plants and keeps our food scraps out of the landfill.
