Hood River County Commissioners are making changes to the County’s zoning ordinance and administrative code to clarify the panel’s ability to hear appeals from the Planning Commission. County Administrator David Meriwether noted a land use case a couple of years ago brought to light some code provisions that actually limited what the County Commission could hear in an appeal. Meriwether adds there was also some disconnects in procedures between the zoning ordinance and the administrative code. He says it will take some time to clear up the code issues.
