HR Council Votes To Change In-Lieu Parking Fee

Hood River City Councilors voted to change the in-lieu parking fee for residential and commercial development in the central downtown business, Heights, and Waterfront districts to a flat $3,000.  That’s as opposed to the current formula that many felt was discouraging opportunities to develop housing in the downtown area.  A first motion to make the change only in the downtown area failed, with Mayor Kate McBride saying the proposal that came out of a recent downtown parking study should make the fee the same all over the City.  Councilor Erick Haynie voted against it, pointing out the fee is significantly below the estimated cost of creating a parking space in Hood River.  The Council also approved a zone change from R-1 to R-2 for a 3.14 acre 18-lot subdivision in the area of 30th and Prospect.
