The Hood River City Council approved annexation and rezoning of about a ten-and-a-half-acre piece of property at 3330 Brookside Drive that would allow for high density housing and come with an easement to allow the final connection of the Indian Creek Trail to take place. Reco Prianto, representing applicant CaliChi Design Group, told Councilors the goal is to buy the property from the current owners and develop dense housing to help pay for securing the trail easement. The rezone will change the property from R-1 and R-2 low and standard density residential to R-3 urban high density residential and C-2 general commercial which could add one story to any development. Councilor Ben Mitchell said between the trail and housing opportunities, the opportunity is too good for the City to pass up. Those who testified in opposition cited incompatibility with the surrounding area, traffic impacts, a wetland within the property, and a lack of detail in the plans at this point.
