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-

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

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

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.
