The City of Hood River is working on ways to incentivize more development of what’s termed “middle housing.”  That’s duplexes, triplexes, quads, and cottage-type housing, in-between single family dwellings and multi-family housing.  Mayor Kate McBride says the goal is to see more this type of housing developed, and part of that is making sure their land-use regulations and building codes allow developers to have as easy a path as possible to make that happen.  City Planning Director Dustin Nilsen says he hopes to have concrete recommendations developed for the planning commission to consider in a couple of months.
