Hood River City Councilors discussed staff ideas in an attempt to move forward with zoning code amendments for short-term rentals, but once again there was no movement toward the four votes that would be needed to pass any changes. The concept from staff included allowing currently functioning STR’s in residential zones to continue with proper permitting until there is an ownership change, and as properties change hands it would move toward a cap on STR’s of 100. The Council, down two members for the issue, has been split between a municipal planning commission proposal to require short-term rental owners in residential zones to be primary residents, and a cap and density distribution plan. The subject will return to the Council on July 25.
