Title
ORDINANCE NO. 3340 ADOPTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP CHANGE FOR THE BARLOW POINT AREA
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Council Initiative: Strengthen economic conditions & create new opportunities
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: Required
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Port of Longview applied for a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map amendment to change approximately 136 acres in the Barlow Point area from Mixed Use-Residential/Commercial (MU-R/C) to Heavy Industrial. Two properties not owned by the Port are included in the application. Prior to the adoption of the 2006 Comprehensive Plan this area had a Comprehensive Plan classification of Heavy Industrial and was zoned for heavy industrial uses. The property remains zoned for heavy industrial land uses and can be developed as such. Approval of the application will mean the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and the City’s zoning map will be consistent with each other.
At their January 23, 2017 meeting, the City Council held a public hearing on the application. Following the public hearing the Council voted six to zero to approve the application and direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for Council review and approval. Ordinance No. 3340 is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 3340
