Umatilla approves more
residential land for McNary
By JADE MCDOWELL
STAFF WRITER
Eight more homes can be
added to the new Virginia’s
Place subdivision in McNary
after the Umatilla City Coun-
cil voted Tuesday to change
the rest of the property from
commercial to residential
zoning.
The 8.5 acre subdivision,
located off Willamette Ave-
nue, sparked debate about
the future of the McNary area
in 2016 after developer Fas-
track, Inc. requested the entire
property be re-zoned. Some
councilors believed the city
would be best served by new
commercial ventures on the
property, while others argued
that the land had been avail-
able for commercial develop-
ment for decades and hadn’t
had any takers, while new
housing in the city was being
snatched up immediately.
In a compromise, the
council ended up allowing
for 24 residential lots but
left the lots directly border-
ing Willamette Avenue in

the commercial zone. But on
Tuesday, in light of a request
from the Pasco-based devel-
oper to revisit the decision,
the council agreed in a 4-2
vote to allow those lots to
also be zoned for residen-
tial use, allowing Fastrack to
add eight more homes to the
subdivision.
Jared Faris of Fastrack
said all 24 of the original lots
have already been sold, with
housing built or ground bro-
ken on 18 and permits appli-
cations ready for more.
“We would love to keep
extending that neighbor-
hood,” Faris said. “I’m sure
we could get another eight
taxpaying families in Uma-
tilla this year.”
City staff and the plan-
ning commission both rec-
ommended that the council
approve the re-zone.
While most of the coun-
cil agreed, councilor Mel
Ray pointed to new industrial
growth in the Port of Uma-
tilla area, saying if work-
ers couldn’t find what they
wanted in McNary they
would likely go to Hermiston
instead of downtown Uma-
tilla next.
“We’re going to need
commercial support for the
industrial park,” he said. “If
we allow the traffic to get to
the stoplight they’re going to
turn left.”
Other councilors, how-
ever, said while Ray made
some good points about the
benefits of more commer-
cial development in McNary,
there was at least five more
acres of undeveloped com-
mercial land there and the
land along Willamette Ave-
nue had been for sale since
the 1970s.
“I can almost guarantee
you that 20 years ago some-
body sitting in council cham-
bers made that exact same
argument,” Michael Roxbury
said.
In the end Ray and Roak
Ten Eyck voted against the
re-zone while the other four
councilors voted to allow for
eight new houses along Wil-
lamette Avenue.

Robert
Robertson
peered from behind the
jail house bars while Judy
Simmons took his photo.
Maybe it would help, she
said, if he opened the door
and stepped forward into
more light.
Robertson slid the door
open and stood in the metal
frame. Simmons said that
was better.
Robertson was one of
several visitors Saturday to
the jail and other exhibits
at the Umatilla Museum’s
open house to celebrate a
cleaner look and new dis-
plays. That small jail cell
in the former police sta-
tion held memories for
Robertson.
“I’m the last guy that
got to stay in the jail,”
Robertson said, but that
was 20 years and a differ-
ent life ago.
Simmons said Robert-
son was a key reason for
the open house. She is a
member and volunteer
of the Umatilla Museum
& Historical Foundation,
the nonprofit that took on
the task of recording the
community’s 156 years of
history.
Robertson popped into
the museum last year, Sim-
mons said, glanced around
and announced it looked
like nothing had ever
changed.
“That lit a fire under
us,” she said.
Fellow museum and
foundation member Sam
Nobles said for years peo-
ple brought in old items to
the museum, but much of
that piled up. He and oth-
ers worked to separate the
junk from the historical
and tidy up the place.
Old military uniforms
on wire hangers now are
in shadow boxes on a wall,
they arranged displays to
allow for more walking
room, and they dedicated
one room to the develop-
ment of McNary Dam.
The museum drew
about 200 people last year.
Admission is free.
