Hood River County Commissioners and Planning Commissioners met this week to discuss the planning panel’s work on a comprehensive update on exclusive farm use and forest zones in the County’s land use plan. The two bodies got together to discuss where the planning group is at and get on common ground before a public hearing process. County Administrator David Meriwether says there is no large philosophical gap between the two bodies. There are some questions to be addressed on the level of non-specifically farm and forest activities would be allowed. A hearings process on the update is set to start at the Planning Commission level in August, and will eventually go to the County Commission.
