Council adopts zoning change to expand maritime heritage campus near waterfront
Summary
The council adopted a zoning map amendment to rezone 2.6 acres north of Marine Drive (the Barbee Center area) to Maritime Heritage to create a cohesive campus for the Columbia River Maritime Museum; the ordinance passed on second reading by roll-call vote.
The Astoria City Council adopted an ordinance (second reading) to amend the city's land use and zoning map to rezone parcels north of Marine Drive, including the Barbee Center area, to Maritime Heritage. City manager Spence summarized that the change makes the museum and adjacent 2.6‑acre site a cohesive campus under the same maritime heritage zoning and that the planning commission had reviewed the proposal.
Councilor Davis moved to hold the second reading and adopt the zoning map amendment; Councilor Hilton seconded. The council took a roll‑call vote and the ordinance was adopted with aye votes recorded. Staff said the change aligns the Barbee Center with the Columbia River Maritime Museum's existing maritime heritage zoning and does not propose new buildings on the 2.68-acre parcel at this step.
The adoption was procedural (second reading completed) and will be reflected in the city's official zoning map.
