Wasco County Commissioners asked planning staff to go through another round of work in the effort to amend the County’s code compliance ordinance and streamline the enforcement program. That after a heavily attended hearing Wednesday with farm and ranch owners concerned the changes could endanger some of their farm practices without more explicit language to protect them. County Planner Kelly Howley-Glover did point out the County’s land use ordinances already provides for farm and forest exemptions. Commissioner Scott Hege thinks some clarifying language would be helpful, to make that clear. There was some testimony on parts of the code compliance ordinance that is not being revised, and Howsley-Glover noted if the Commission wanted to review the whole ordinance it would be a much lengthier process. Commissioners were clear they did not want to do that, and scheduled an update on the topic for March 20.
