The public is invited to view the draft master plan update for the North Coast Business Park and offer input on the document at an open house Monday, Feb. 7 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at Warrenton City Hall, 225 S. Main Ave.
The master plan, first developed in 2000, lays out proposed development for the 270-acre county-owned tract in Warrenton.
The county completed the first phase of the original master plan in 2009 with the sale of 75 acres along U.S. Highway 101 to a private development company, North Coast Retail LLC, for commercial development centered on the new Costco outlet. The $8.6 million proceeds from the sale were placed in a revolving fund to support development in the rest of the park.
The draft plan update, prepared by Cardno WRG consultants and presented to the Clatsop County Board of Commissioners at a work session in January, addresses the remaining 195 acres and identifies property proposed for various types of development along with streets and infrastructure, as well as land to be set aside for preservation of wetlands.
The plan identifies approximately 92 acres of land, divided into as many as 19 lots, to be designated General Industrial to accommodate light industrial and manufacturing uses. Another 13 acres are proposed for an office park. The plan stresses flexibility, with the option combing lots together to offer larger developable sites.
The plan also sets aside space for a potential new county jail, as well as a proposed multi-agency public works facility. Almost 80 acres of identified wetlands are proposed for preservation.
Following the open house a final version of the plan update will be completed and sent to the board of commissioners at a future date for adoption.
