Wasco County Planning staff will hold once a month office hours in the Maupin Civic Center conference room as a new service for South Wasco County residents. This new remote location service is scheduled for one Friday a month on April 15th, May 13th, June 17th, July 15th, and August 12th. During Maupin office hours of 10am to 1pm, staff will have access to GIS Maps and other property information databases, permit applications, and other tools to advise citizens on a variety of land use and development projects or questions. Current planning staff will continue to serve the public at their location in The Dalles on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10 am-12pm and 1pm-4pm. County Planning Director Kelly Howsley-Glover says staff has planned some focused topics for citizens including non-farm dwellings, solar arrays, code compliance, RV dwellings, and land divisions if individuals want to visit and learn more about opportunities and procedures for land use in Wasco County. Citizens will also have the opportunity, beginning in May, to review the proposed draft updates to the Land Use and Development Ordinance in person during office hours.
