The Hood River City Council took testimony this week on proposed “middle housing” codes intended to encourage a diversity of housing types including duplexes, triplexes, and cottage housing in more residential zones.  Most who testified were in favor of the changes, noting the lack of housing that is affordable to those who work in the community.  Cardinal Glass plant manager David Windsor told the Council his employees struggle trying to find a home to purchase.  But there were plenty of questions on the details surrounding the proposed code changes, in particular around whether parking requirements would be sufficient.  The Council will continue the hearing this coming Monday at its 6 p.m. meeting.
