ONE YEAR AGO

Baker County has joined fi ve other counties in Eastern
Oregon in petitioning the U.S. Department of Agriculture
to exempt the Wallowa-Whitman and Malheur national
forests from the 2005 Travel Management Rule.
That’s the rule that could lead the Forest Service to ban-
ning motor vehicles from thousands of miles of roads on
the two national forests, a possibility that has prompted
widespread protests in Baker County over the past de-
cade.
Baker County commissioners voted Wednesday to join
the petition.
The document is scheduled to be hand delivered to fed-
eral offi cials on March 2 in Washington, D.C. The other fi ve
counties listed on the petition are Union, Harney, Grant,
Malheur and Wallowa.
The Forest Service is an agency of the Agriculture
Department.

Kerns said the proposed re-
visions to zoning in the city are
intended to address parcels for
which the current use or build-
ings aren’t consistent with the
zone (for instance, residential,
commercial or industrial), or
parcels that are split-zoned,
meaning they’re located within
two or more zones.

Kerns said the Planning
Commission will consider
rezoning properties based on
these parameters:
• the existing use does not
match the zone and the use is
expected to continue into the
foreseeable future;
• a re-zone of the property/
properties proposed for re-
zoning will not create a “spot
zone” — that is, to ensure the
property is contiguous with
other parcels with the same
zoning.
• the area proposed for
rezoning has a logical, easily
identifi able boundary, such as
a street or alley
• a property is split into two
or more zones
