Wasco County Commissioners proceeded to the first reading of an ordinance to revise portions of the County’s comprehensive land use plan dealing with incorporating the most recent Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife maps for sensitive habitat for wildlife and birds and a destination resort eligibility map. The revisions are part of the Wasco 2040 periodic review of the comp plan that is in its final stages. County Long-Range Planner Kelly Howsley-Glover told the Commission the habitat maps are already in state law and used for conditional use permits, and the changes should streamline and simplify existing permitting processes. County Commissioner Scott Hege said he felt the revisions would bring very little actual change. The Commission will hold a formal vote on the ordinance on November 7.
