Hood River City Councilors reached consensus to go forward with Requests for Qualifications from developers interested in a housing project on about seven acres on Rand Road that the City purchased last year.  A number of different alternatives were put together by Leland Consulting and all will be included in the RFQ documents, with the preferred alternative adding in two nearby acres of land owned by Hood River County where owner-occupied housing would be constructed while a combination of smaller dwellings and apartments would be constructed on the City land.  Leland’s Brian Vanneman told the Council the alternatives are meant to convey that there is no one correct solution.  Vanneman did indicate that affordable apartments will require 100 or more units to be feasible, that the City will need to write down the land costs, and that having owner-occupied housing would enable developers to pay most or all of primary infrastructure costs.
