5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2016 Pot shop: Vote was unanimous but tentative Police: Truck attack Continued from Page 1A In October, the Planning Commission approved the medical-recreational mari- juana business, provided that the owners mitigate odors, develop a security plan with the Astoria Police Department and meet other conditions. But Heather Hansen, who lives at Cannery Lofts, said in an appeal that a pot shop is not appropriate for the prop- erty or compatible with the neighborhood. The Planning Commission and the city staff evaluation, she said, did not address the fact that dozens of residents share the complex. “How can a decision-maker determine whether the pro- posed use is suitable or com- patible without evaluating the impact to the 30 residences in the same building and the 33 residences next door?” said Hansen, Clatsop Coun- ty’s community development director. Astoria has five marijuana dispensaries, three grow sites and two pending retail loca- tions. West would have been the first marijuana store in the city to share a building with residents. ‘Not appropriate’ A handful of condominium owners urged the Plan- ning Commission to reject West in October, citing con- Arline LaMear Zetty Nemlowill cerns about parking, security and vagrancy. More than 30 signed a petition opposing the store. Except for Commissioner Frank Spence, however, the commission decided that, because West would be clas- sified as a non-tourist retail store, the owners would be using the space as it was intended. City Councilor Zetty Nem- lowill said the housing ele- ment should have been given more weight in the findings of fact and the Planning Com- mission’s deliberations. Mayor Arline LaMear and Councilor Cindy Price agreed. “Certainly the residents — the great majority of the res- idents — feel that this is not appropriate,” Price said. She and Nemlowill said that housing-related sections of the comprehensive plan should be considered, includ- ing the need to protect neigh- borhoods from incompatible uses and maintain their attrac- tiveness and livability. Price said the reason the Cindy Price Russ Warr City Council is having to wade into these complex code issues, which generate such wide disagreement, is that the city has not examined mar- ijuana policy in the wake of legalization. “It’s just one of several problems that have come before us because we have not taken the time to discuss any sort of regulation about retail sales of marijuana, whereas other cities have,” Price said. She said the council should take a close look at city poli- cies regarding retail mari- juana in the near future. City Councilor Russ Warr, who typically does not vote for bans based on personal taste, took a new tack. “In all of my time on the City Council, I have tried to vote only the facts and the rules and that sort of thing,” he said, “and in this case, since this is my last vote, I’m going to permit myself an absolutely emotional vote.” Warr — the councilor for Ward 4, where the Can- nery Lofts condominiums are located — considered the plight of the condo own- ers, who have had to pay thousands in repairs, largely because of poor construction. “I believe that most condo units similar to that one do not contain retail space that is owned outside of the home- owners association, and so under most conditions the homeowners don’t get a voice,” he said, “and I think it’s time for them to have a break.” ‘Residents have spoken’ The council’s vote was unanimous but tentative. Next week, the council will hold a final vote on the revised findings during a spe- cial meeting. The four coun- cilors wanted to put the matter behind them before the two incoming councilors, Bruce Jones and Tom Brownson, join the council in January. Daryl Bell, one of the own- ers of West, said after the vote that he probably won’t appeal the decision to the state Land Use Board of Appeals. “I think the residents have spoken loud and clear,” he said. “And, quite honestly, realizing that there’s that kind of opposition just doesn’t sit well with me … We don’t want to be where we’re not wanted, certainly, to the extent that they expressed tonight.” that killed 12 people in Berlin ‘intentional’ Associated Press BERLIN — The driver who rammed a truck into a crowded Christmas mar- ket in the heart of the Ger- man capital, killing at least 12 people and injuring nearly 50, did so intentionally, police said today. Chancellor Angela Merkel said author- ities believe it was a terror attack. The truck smashed into the popular Christmas mar- ket filled with tourists and locals outside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church near Berlin’s Zoo station late Monday. “Our investigators are working on the assumption that the truck was intention- ally driven into the crowd at the Christmas market on Bre- itscheidplatz,” Berlin police said on Twitter. Merkel said she was “shocked, shaken and deeply saddened.” “There is still a lot that we don’t know about this act with sufficient certainty,” she told reporters. “But we must, as things stand, assume it was a terrorist attack.” Herbicide: State will take public comment until Feb. 3 Continued from Page 1A Ecology that 10-meter buf- fers were adequate to prevent harm to the native eelgrass. The state Department of Natural Resources and Department of Fish and Wildlife suggested studying more sites. Lubliner said the Depart- ment of Ecology may con- sider that suggestion when the permit is due to be reviewed in 2019. The state will take public comment until Feb. 3 on its proposal to allow spraying to continue. The Department of Ecol- ogy will hold public hearings 1 p.m. Jan. 24 at the depart- ment’s headquarters in Lacey and at 10 a.m. Jan. 26 at the Willapa Harbor Community Center in South Bend.
