An independent hearings examiner has cleared the way for Camas Station, a gas station-car wash-retail complex, to be developed at the corner of Northwest Brady Road and Northwest 16th Avenue in Camas’ Prune Hill neighborhood.

Hearings Examiner Joe Turner issued his decision on Aug. 25, more than four weeks after dozens of Camas residents and Prune Hill Elementary School parents turned out to a public hearings examiner meeting to oppose the project, citing concerns about increased traffic on a busy road that connects residential neighborhoods to a park and elementary school, as well as the gas station’s potential release of harmful, airborne chemicals like benzene.
