SECTION 5. Provisions of the Land Development and Water Use Ordinance are amended to list(Allow) "cable, sewerline, waterline or other pipeline" as a conditional use in the OPR zone as described in SECTION 6.

SECTION 6. Land Development and Water Use Ordinance & 3.586(10) is amended to state "10. cable, sewerline, waterline or other pipeline" and the current Land Development and Water Use Ordinance & 3.586(10) is made LDWUO & 3.586(11)


This vote would affect sections 5 and 6 of Clatsop County Ordinance 08-05(See above).

A "YES" vote would change county zoning law and would allow cables and pipelines as conditional uses in areas designated "Open Space, Parks and Recreation" zones.

A "NO" vote would maintain existing county zoning law prohibiting cables and pipelines as conditional uses in areas designated "Open Space, Parks and Recreation" zones.
