Bridge Vista Area - Land Use Objectives
● Continue to support water-dependent uses; allow for commercial and residential uses that support but don’t compete with the Downtown core.
● If development is to occur, promote new uses that are consistent with Astoria’s “working waterfront.”
● Encourage design of new or rehabilitated buildings that respect Astoria’s character.
● Encourage new development along the River to improve and celebrate the River Trail and provide visual and periodic physical access to the water.
