Appeal Of Morrison Park Rezone Filed

Opponents of rezoning Morrison Park in Hood River for a low-income housing project have filed an appeal of the City’s decision with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals, contending the City has violated its comprehensive land use plan.  The Hood River City Council in March approved changing the zoning for 2.76 acres of Lot 700 within Morrison Park for housing while setting aside 45 percent for park and public facilities.  That came in the wake of a remand of a decision in 2017 to change the zoning for just over five acres of the property after the Oregon Court of Appeals found it did not meet a policy in the city’s comprehensive land use plan that calls for existing park sites to be protected from incompatible uses.  Hood River resident Susan Crowley filed the latest appeal.  She is part of a group of advocates who have been battling the Morrison Park rezone.
