Plan, Zoning ( dinance Is Studied
The Columbia county plan
ning commission met April 17 at
the courthouse, with Chairman
Frank Corsiglia presiding. Fol
lowing approval of the previous
meeting minutes, the commis
sioners turned to current items.
County Planning Coordinator
Phil Holsheimer provided the
secretary with letters of corre
spondence: one from Otto Jor
genson Jr., Scappoose, who is
critical of the activities of the
planning commission and of
specific individuals, and a letter
from Fred Butcher, president,
St. Helens Chamber of Com
merce, indicating that the
board of directors of the cham
ber had reviewed the Compre
hensive Land-Use Plan for the
South County Area and unan-
mously voted to support the
commission in its plan and ac
tivités.
Chairman Corsiglia called on
Charles Olson to review the
proposed zoning ordinance. Ol
son provided a brief review of
the general structure and out
line of the ordinance, and then
consideration was given to indi
vidual zones with commission
members discussing these as
each was reviewed.
In a discussion of a procedure
regarding hearings, Phil Hol
sheimer indicated that District
Attorney Robert Lucas has re
commended that hearings be
held by the board of commis
sioners rather than by the plan
ning commission.
Suggestions for steps to follow
by county officials toward adop
tion of a comprehensive plan
and zoning ordinance and map
for the unincorporated areas of
Columbia county were reviewed
as follows:
1. Conduct a public hearing in
the Warren area on the follow
ing matter: An “Interim Zoning
Ordinance and Map of Zone Dis
trict Boundaries for the Warren
Area.” The hearing is held on
the basis of a request signed
by a majority of persons re
siding in the area. Only one
hearing is required by state
law. The planning commission
may hold a hearing and recom
mend to the board of county
commissioners an interim zon
ing ordinance text and map for
the area. The board of commis
sioners should hold a hearing
and may adopt the interim or
dinance and map as recom
mended bv the planning com
mission or with changes. Inte
rim zoning terminates at the
end of three years or when per
manent zoning is adopted.
2. Conduct a series of meet
ings in each of the four plan
ning areas of the county (South,
Mia, North, Central) and de
rive a plan for each, intergrat
ing all four together to from a
county-w 1 d e
comprehens ive
plan (utilize the recent plan
ning report by the bureau as a
guide). Hold a public hearing
on the plan for each area before
the planning commission. Com
mission t h e n a d o p t s the
area plan. It is not necessary
that the board of commissioners
adopt the plan. In fact it may
be desirable that they do not
in order to give them some
flexibility in relating zoning
matters to the plan.
3. During this time, prepare
a zoning ordinance and prelimi
nary zoning map for permanent
zoning. Conduct meetings in
each planning area on zoning.
Conduct a public hearing in
each area on the proposed or
dinance and map.
Planning
commission recommends adop
tion of only the zoning ordiance
text on a county-wide basis by
the board of county commis
sioners. The board can adopt
text with a vote. Application of
zoning should follow procedures
established by the board of com
missioners.
4. Permanent zoning should be
established on nothing less than
planning area basis. Any zon
ing on less than an area basis
should be interim and estab
lished either by request of a
majority of the voting age resi
dents of the area or by emer
gency decree of the board. Per
manent zoning may be estab
lished without a vote but if it
is felt that voting is desirable
it is strictly discretionary on the
part of the board. Criteria on
who votes is also discretionary
but legal opinions (notably Clat
sop county) suggest that all
registered voters within the
area to be zoned are eligible to
vote including county residents
living in cities. Voting is not
limited to only property owners.
The county may define what is
to be voted on. At this stage,
assuming the ordinance text is
in effect, the question could be
“Should the county enact zon
ing in the planning area?” or
"Should the county adopt (en
act) a particular zoning map:”
In neither case is the county
bound to the zoning applied if
future
condit i o ns warrant
change. Changing the zoning or
diance text or the zone boun
daries may be accomplished by
the nrocedures set forth in the
ordinance itself. These proce
dures do not normally require
a vote but do require a peti
tion signed by a majority of
property owners.
Charles Olson indicated that
the bureau is working on and
will shortly bring out a model
zoning ordinance which will in
clude provisions for mobile
homes.
The cost of living is really
high for the many people who
have dignity to support.
