Clatsop Plains
plan
The board approved
the North Clatsop Plains Sub-Area Plan. The plan implements strategies developed
by the 2012 Joint Land-Use Study, a cooperative project between Clatsop County,
the Oregon Military Department and other partners aimed at reducing existing and
potential conflicts between Camp Rilea Armed Forces Training Center and
surrounding areas.
The sub-area plan and
accompanying comprehensive plan and land-use ordinance amendments address
development, open space, natural and ecological features, water quality, traffic
access and trails and recreation. The amendments establish an overlay zone in
the North Clatsop Plains Area that maintains existing density limits, encourages
clustered development and applies noise-attenuation construction
standards.
Oregon Pipeline
appeal
The board voted to
direct the county’s land-use legal counsel to file a cross-appeal with the
Oregon Court of Appeals regarding a challenge filed recently by Oregon Pipeline
Company LLC against two rulings from the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals. On
June 27 LUBA remanded the Oregon Pipeline’s land-use application back to the
county based on its finding that Commissioner Peter Huhtala was not impartial
when he voted with the majority of the board to withdraw the county’s original
approval of the application for reconsideration and to later reject
it.
