Republic Services Submits Additional Materials for Conditional Use Permit Application

Republic Services has submitted supplemental information for its Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application to Benton County. The CUP application was received by Jan. 15, 2025, meeting the deadline required by Benton County Code. 

The pre-application drafts are available online in their entirety through Munidocs. The supplemental material submitted on January 15 can be viewed and downloaded from the Benton County website. A printed copy of the application is also available for viewing in the Community Development Department on the second floor at 4500 SW Research Way in Corvallis.

The CUP pre-application, submitted on July 19, 2024, was deemed Incomplete. In accordance with County Code 51.535(1), Republic Services had 180 days from the submission of the preapplication to submit revisions and provide additional documentation to reach Completeness. A revised application was submitted to the County on Oct. 30, 2024.

Representatives from Republic Services met with the County Planning Division in December 2024 to discuss points of clarification and additional narrative detail needed to reach Completion. Dialogue between permit applicants and the County is a standard part of the land use application process and does not occur in public meetings. 

The latest application revision is now being reviewed for Completeness by County Planning Officials and an independent consultant. If it is deemed Complete, the County will provide a process timeline, public comment period, and tentative public hearing date(s) before the Benton County Planning Commission. County Code dictates that this process, including appeals, be completed within 150 days, putting the end date in June 2025.
