Hood River County Commissioners denied an appeal by the Hood River Valley Residents Committee of a decision at the staff level to extend the commercial land use permit to build the DeeTour amphitheater at the former Dee Mill site.  Project proponent Apollo Land Holdings had asked for the one-year extension of the permit initially approved in 2014.  The Residents Committee appealed, claiming the initial approval of the extension was improperly processed as a ministerial decision, and because the approval criteria changed with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals decision that led to eventual denial of a permit to build a hotel on the site.  The County Planning Commission had initially denied the appeal in January.
