(Marion County (Or.), 2000-07) Marion County (Or.); Marion County (Or.). Public Works Dept.; Pacific Rim Resources, Inc.
The area [covered by the Plan] includes a mix of residential, commercial, industrial and public land uses. Brooks has two schools, a fire station, and a post office. Hopmere
contains industrial and commercial uses within the Brooks-Hopmere boundary; with several residences along River Road on less than an acre parcels being
included in the boundary due to existing non-farm use under current Exclusive Farm Use zoning.
The county comprehensive plan originally prepared to address statewide planning goals listed Hopmere as a Rural Service Center and Brooks as a Rural
Community. The freeway interchange between the two was also recognized as a Rural Development Center in the plan. The community includes only areas
planned and zoned for residential, commercial and industrial development and public uses; no no land planned for farm use is included though the Ogden-Martin
waste to energy utility facility is included in the boundary and zoned Exclusive Farm Use. [From the Plan]
