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 just south of the Hermiston Airport, without affecting other employment lands. The Fairgrounds Overlay zone is 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 did not allow for public and recreational uses; therefore, it was necessary to rezone the site to accommodate these uses.
