The Hood River County Commission voted unanimously to resume the process of developing a revised unincorporated community plan for Parkdale. The process was paused in February to consider the condition and potential for upgrades of the Parkdale Wastewater Treatment Plant, and to get interpretation of state rules on how to allow for less expensive housing types when infrastructure like sanitary sewer is limited. County Planning Director Eric Walker noted meetings with the Parkdale Sanitary District Board found that panel felt with a recently developed facility plan and upgrades, there was not a compelling reason to expand further, and Oregon Land Conservation Development representatives felt the County could include additional opportunities for more affordable housing types in the plan. The Commission authorized staff to move forward with a draft Parkdale plan, which is expected to get a public hearing before the County Planning Commission in July.
