The Hood River City Planning Commission once again approved a permit for Natio Development’s proposed hotel and retail building at the south end of the Nichols Boat Basin.  The latest Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals remand was specific to dealing with flood hazards as called for in Goal 7 of the municipal comprehensive land use plan.  City Planner Cindy Walbridge says the Commission looked at what the criteria could and could not do, noting Naito would still need to get permits approved by NOAA Fisheries and the Army Corps of Engineers.  Walbridge says findings of fact will be completed over the next couple of days to set up a potential appeal by project opponents Friends of the Hood River Waterfront.  The Hood River City Council has already set aside August 11 to hold a hearing on that appeal.
