A special Hood River City Council meeting on Monday night to consider operating license requirements for short-term rentals was cancelled due to Council member absences.  City officials say there has been concern expressed about the timeline for existing non-conforming STRs to establish their grandfathered status within deadlines set by ordinance, but while release of final application documents and licensure requirements are pending City Council adoption of rules, to begin the process of grandfathering an application to verify and establish prior existing nonconforming short-term rental use has been developed.  The form is available on the City’s webpage and at City Hall.  Completion of the form by December 12 will validate a claim of pre-existing non-conforming short-term rental use, but would not exempt STR’s from future licensing requirements.
