Planning staff told the board the amendment (T-100-25) revises Section 152.250 (dimensional and design standards) and relates to projects in the retail-service commercial and light-industrial zones north of Pumpkin Center and south of Pencil Road. Staff said the changes respond to implementation experience since the standards were adopted by ordinance in 2019.

Planning staff outlined five substantive changes: clarifying which property line is treated as the front on corner lots (the side facing Highway 395 will be the front for setback purposes); exempting accessory structures (sheds, similar) from maximum setback rules provided they are located behind the primary building; making minimum storefront window-area requirements optional rather than mandatory for some uses; removing long-term landscape coverage monitoring requirements while keeping overall landscaping amounts; and adjusting the points and optional treatments in the design-features matrix now that window area is optional.

Commissioner Doren questioned the window change, saying ‘‘one of the things about windows is it softens the front of the building. It makes it welcoming.’’ Planning staff replied that the change responds to the needs of larger-footprint uses along the corridor — for example, mini-storage or large farm-and-ranch stores — where required storefront windows can create security or practical problems, and that frequent variance requests indicated the standard was not aligned with current uses.

Staff told the board the planning commission held the first evidentiary hearing March 27 and recommended approval without changes. The board adopted the ordinance following deliberation.

The amendment applies to new development and expansions in the Highway 395 North corridor; staff said many existing properties that predate the code remain grandfathered but that future development and redevelopment applications will be reviewed under the revised standards. Planning staff also noted irrigation and water availability limit the extent of new landscaping in some parcels.

The action represents a shift toward making certain aesthetic items optional choices in the county’s design-features matrix to reduce the number of variance requests and streamline redevelopment along a corridor where new auto sales lots, convenience stores and other businesses have appeared since 2019.

Board action: the commissioners voted to adopt the ordinance amending Section 152.250; the planning commission had previously recommended approval.

Looking ahead, staff said they will apply the revised standards to incoming applications and continue monitoring how the changes affect redevelopment along Highway 395 North.","The Umatilla County Board of Commissioners on May 7 adopted a text amendment to the county development code that revises design-review standards for the Highway 395 North corridor, making some storefront window requirements optional and clarifying setback and landscaping rules.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6569881,"Sheriff presents proposed county rules for camping on public property; board asks for more detail and seeks continuance",946,2986000,3932000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3270729-e66dfb55953df458b5db4f30930cf40f&start=2986&end=3932","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3270729-e66dfb55953df458b5db4f30930cf40f/thumbnail_2986000.jpg","/articles/6569881/Umatilla-County/Oregon/Sheriff-presents-proposed-county-rules-for-camping-on-public-property-board-asks-for-more-detail-and-seeks-continuance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6569881-3b8cd69854453a1cf3b4a19366a7021f/orig.mp4?Expires=1776925339&Signature=S~qJqx4YVKdCOuTkZA0tHi2RVtpAMb2QLgnPiOmIYQy6N80XekekjJBTBCNm8mfR0hJKSaQZo3sJGhHlQcR9yNkrKFyvufw8tOiJ004kt16N~9JD14gQqRRKyXHTfmPyROjbtnxL4O6Jni~JV9HJXH17oOAaql3e078LrAkALsFLpAs6a08uK-IHIOe-vQ8V92TFsN752~np18bc8HrmWNyTI9iauC6hrQu4VuLZhwkboWeYPEXRmGOSzIrWehu418I9vnNRyIm0HZ0wFCbkJjfcmPruAI8aTthCFT3qg0k3AbAqghlouFvaugapPNmUslYfMSHUzgmkvt2UI3lEtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sheriff Josh Roberts told the Umatilla County Board of Commissioners May 7 that the county needs an ordinance to regulate camping on county-owned properties after officers encountered extensive, semi-permanent encampments and large accumulations of debris.

Roberts said the draft ordinance would set time, place and manner restrictions for camping on county property so law enforcement can act where currently they lack clear regulatory authority. Under the draft provisions described at the hearing, camping on county property would be permitted between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.; camps would have to be broken down and removed by 7 a.m.; a single person could not remain at one site more than five consecutive days and could not return to the same spot for at least 60 days. The sheriff emphasized the proposal targets semi-permanent structures and large accumulations of trash that create public-health and environmental risks near waterways rather than short overnight sheltering.

Roberts said the issue arises from multiple sites where temporary camps have transitioned into sites with structures and large quantities of debris; when those sites are cleared the materials are often left behind and become hazardous-waste problems. The sheriff told the board the ordinance would allow the county to require people moving on and to remove or store property when people do not comply, though he acknowledged the county must develop procedures about inventory, storage and access for people whose belongings are taken.

Board members pressed Roberts on practical issues: whether the sheriff’s office will need additional personnel for monitoring and enforcement; how to handle vehicles and RVs (operable, licensed vehicles would be treated differently than inoperable or unlicensed vehicles, which may be categorized as solid waste); coordination with social-service providers, shelters and tribal or federal agencies; and how to handle removed property and storage. Commissioners and commenters noted that low-barrier shelters such as Promise Inn and other local providers have waiting lists and that some people decline available services.

Representatives from the public and the fair board asked about jurisdictional overlap with BLM on checkerboarded public lands in the county’s west end. Roberts said the county coordinates with BLM and other agencies as needed but that BLM has limited local resources.

After public input and board questions, a commissioner requested additional detail and further discussion with the sheriff’s office before the board takes action. The board agreed to continue the matter for further review rather than adopt an ordinance at the May 7 meeting.

No ordinance or enforcement provision was adopted at the meeting; the hearing remained open for further work between staff, the sheriff’s office and other partners.","Sheriff Josh Roberts presented a draft ordinance limiting camping on county property (time, place, manner rules) after staff said extensive camps with structures and debris posed health and safety risks; the board requested more detail and asked to continue the matter for follow-up with sheriff and other agencies.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6569883,"Board approves $1.25 million courthouse roof replacement with change-order stop-work condition",446,1547000,1993000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3270729-e66dfb55953df458b5db4f30930cf40f&start=1547&end=1993","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3270729-e66dfb55953df458b5db4f30930cf40f/thumbnail_1547000.jpg","/articles/6569883/Umatilla-County/Oregon/Board-approves-125-million-courthouse-roof-replacement-with-change-order-stop-work-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6569883-00572eb4fd82ba8f9374e7487b3e7d8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1776925339&Signature=aUcyZYWQN7obaCG24icvOoUqHdfp9T68~zo2tX-hoaklniG5TJSJC04xt5qKPguxQqJYDB7wr6BBq5wJbrzjwsuE-SkdCSJU2lPJ5N5SnJ2CeYWsXt8rOqLO2F5FzOTV2nndbDOXtu5EeEohT3LqvlfIjVPTFz99jDt-58iBuGoPsjm3-5-~2eSdXrdd8FfB37nRu9CljoAyo4GdbJyk3w3EXMN4VzEOfyBkdEoB95Bt4Dup8CflirvDOFISKUwUwHA-9zS8P9h~YlAYtSTkzUnjjDFlXHC0GGZUrUpYIplb5Od~XyOlnCy1j3hiLBcSvCIQeVi9a9i6wCxbKzEPXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Umatilla County Board of Commissioners voted May 7 to authorize a $1,246,640 contract with Anderson Roofing to replace the main section of the county courthouse roof, a project that includes asbestos removal and removing roof materials down to the concrete substrate.

County staff described multiple site examinations, sample testing and previous repairs that indicated a full removal and replacement was necessary. The project includes asbestos abatement work, full removal of roofing material to the substrate and installation of new roofing systems; staff said work will also allow reuse of the formerly covered yard area.

Commissioners and staff discussed scheduling to avoid disruption of court proceedings. Staff said the contractor has municipal experience and will work weekends, early mornings or late nights as needed to avoid interrupting court operations.

Commissioner Doren moved to approve authorization to spend $1,246,640 with Anderson Roofing. The motion included a later amendment, moved and adopted, that any change orders increasing cost would trigger a stop-work order unless the change reduced cost. Commissioners also asked for an itemized schedule of charges (schedule of values) before work proceeds and noted the county will insist on a not-to-exceed approach for change orders.

The motion and the amendment passed. Staff said cage repainting and preparatory work for the rec-yard area is budgeted separately and that about $3,000 of work for cage repainting was already under way.

Project details noted to the board: four bids were received (Griffith Roofing, Anderson Roofing, Umpqua Roofing and Carlson Roofing), with Anderson Roofing the low responsive bidder at $1,246,640. The bid includes asbestos remediation; staff said previous roof replacements and investigations informed the scope. Staff also said the county will request a schedule-of-values from the contractor prior to work.

The board approved the authorization and the amendment requiring a change-order stop-work provision.","The board authorized Anderson Roofing to replace the courthouse roof, including asbestos removal, at a contract price of $1,246,640 and added an amendment requiring any change orders that would increase cost to pause work pending board review.","actionData","errors"]
