This Growth Management and Urbanization Plan proposes specific policies and
actions that McMinnville must adopt and undertake to achieve its vision of a compact
and livable community. This Plan will serve as a long-range guide for public policy
decisions concerning the overall growth and development of McMinnville. It will be
adopted as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Plan focuses on the physical
growth and development of the city but also addresses quality of life issues such as
the preservation of our historic downtown, retention of farmland, protection of
environmentally sensitive lands, and stabilization of neighborhoods. [From the Plan]
