Trucks: ‘No one wants to take away business from anyone else’
can’t fi nd a spot at a restau-
rant in the summer anyway.
Because most are owner-op-
erated, he feels food carts
wouldn’t exacerbate the
region’s employee shortage .
“Competition is a good
thing. It provides better,
diverse options,” Morrisey
said. “I don’t see the pie as
limited.”

Cannon Beach and Sea-
side share similar fears
that the small towns have
restaurant markets that are
already spread too thin, with
44 food establishments in
Cannon Beach and 75 in
Seaside.
“I would suggest to this
body that the restaurant
pool in the city is stretched
pretty far,” Doug Wiese, of
Dooger’s Seafood, said at a
July work session. “Every
person that stops in there
and eats is one more meal
that does not get taken sit-
ting down in one of our
restaurants.”
The relationship between
food trucks and brick-and-
mortar restaurants doesn’t
have be adversarial, said
David Reid, the executive
director of the Astoria-War-
renton Area Chamber of
Commerce.
“I think the food trucks
came in and fi lled a void
that existed: the quick lunch
meal,” Reid said. “Initially,
it didn’t feel like it was tak-
ing from competitors —
it was fi lling an additional
need.”
Seaside City Councilor
Seth Morrisey feels this pat-

tern could be the case in Sea-
side, too. Morrisey plans to
introduce a new ordinance
that would allow food carts
to operate only on private
property and require own-
ers to connect to city water,
power and sanitary systems,
as well as require permanent
restrooms .
Requiring food cart pods
to provide infrastructure is a
way to make sure the owners
are invested in the commu-
nity, in contrast to temporary
carts looking to just profi t
during the summer, he said.
Morrisey recognizes the
concerns about competition,
but sees food cart pods ben-
efi ting residents , who often
Morrisey’s plan has been
meet with mixed reviews by
the City C ouncil, but for the
most part, he feels the com-
munity is supportive. The
pushback is more intense
among the older genera-
tion of restaurant owners,
who started their businesses
within a different economic
and cultural context.
“Investments are huge for
brick and mortar,” Morrisey
said. “Food carts have low
barrier to entry. It gives local
people a chance to try an
offering and see if it’s right,”
he said. “The younger gen-
eration is looking to do our
own thing.”
In Cannon Beach, there
is some consensus that food
carts could be allowed for
special events or circum-
stances with the right per-
mits and standards. F or
many business owners,
though, the core of the issue
comes down to image.
“We’re not Portland,”
said Shelley Crane, owner of
The Oil & Vinegar Bar. “We
never want to be Portland.”
During a Tuesday work
session on the topic, the
Cannon Beach City Coun-
cil decided to look into clari-
fying language in their event
ordinances that could permit
food trucks, but appeared
to steer clear of consider-
ing food trucks for regular
operation.
“I don’t know that it’s
worth it since only a small
number want to see it hap-
pen,”
City Councilor
George Vetter said .
But for Selberg, the food
truck discussion should
center more around Can-
non Beach’s future business
owners.
“No one wants to take
away business from any-
one else. But this makes
opening a business more
accessible for young peo-
ple. Maybe it will encourage
younger families to come
and stay in Cannon Beach,”
Selberg said. “There is a
way to make this all work.
I encourage everyone to be
open-minded.”
County: Project could provide 76 local jobs with an average wage of $75,000
Continued from Page A1
“We knew going into it
that developing that site was
going to be really diffi cult,”
Clatsop County Manager
Cameron Moore said. “If
people haven’t developed
a large piece of property —
particularly one that’s got
wetland, which is the worst
thing you ever want to fi nd
on a piece of property other
than, like, toxic waste or
something — it just slows
things down dramatically.”
Located at the corner
of Ensign Lane and 19th
Street, the project could
provide 76 local jobs
with an average wage of
$75,000.
After initially strug-
gling for years to fi nd buy-
ers for the 162 acres in
the business park other
than Fort George Brew-
ery, the county has agreed
to sell nearly 140 acres this
year. Updating the business
park’s master plan will be
another hurdle for develop-
ment of the data center .
“If we had the ability
to move forward with the
update to the North Coast
Business Park master plan
immediately, I would feel
very confi dent about that,”
Cox said. “You know, I
didn’t get to have that con-
versation tonight, but we’re
going to be continuing that
conversation.”
After initially paying
$25,000 in escrow, Cox
gave the county an addi-
tional $10,000 last week.
“I think, you know,
Mark’s confi dent, and if
Mark’s confi dent, I feel
comfortable, you know,
that he’ll get to that point,”
Moore said.
