September 7, 8, 2018 info: landreth0190@gmail.com The Boardman city council held a hearing on Aug. 7 to take comments regarding a zone change request by the Port of Mor- row. The port plans to pur- chase an 80.19 acre parcel located along SE Front St. The parcel is currently a mixed zone of tourist commercial, future urban and manufactured home park sub-district. The port has requested to rezone 72.34 acres to general industrial, 4.97 acres to tourist commercial and two acres to manufactured home park sub-district, with the remaining .87 acres for dedicated rights-of-way. Port of Morrow Exec- utive Director Gary Neal and County Commissioner Don Russell spoke in favor of the rezone. Both felt the rezone would be good for Boardman, economically. Neal said there is a possi- bility this property could be included in an enterprise zone, to encourage devel- opment. No one spoke in opposition to the rezone. Councilors approved the first reading of an ordi- nance approving the rezone. The second reading of the ordinance and a decision on the rezone is scheduled for the Sept. 4 meeting. In other city business, councilors approved a com- mercial liquor license for Burnt Field, LLC. They also approved the first read- ing of an ordinance requir- ing background checks on all city employees and volunteers.
