Abstract:
The adoption of this amendment gives the City of Hermiston the ability to apply the Fairgrounds Overlay zone to a specific development site, namely, the area ust south of the Hermiston Airport, without affecting other employment lands. The Fairgrounds Overlay zone s designed to accommodate public recreational uses and establish a set of minimum development standards for such uses. The Light Industrial (M-l) portion of the site d i not allow for public and recreational uses; therefore, t was necessary to rezone the site to accommodate these uses.
