Hood River County Commissioners voted 3-1 to uphold a Planning Director’s decision to grant a Conditional Use Permit to Meadows North for a Bed and Breakfast Facility on 11000 Cooper Spur Road. Thrive Hood River had appealed the granting of the permit. Commissioner Arthur Babitz was the lone no vote, saying that once a lessee was required to operate a bed and breakfast as a condition for living in the residence, the commercial use was no longer subordinate to the residential use as required under the County’s short-term rental regulations. But Commissioner Les Perkins said that the way those regulations are written, that’s not the case. He felt once the person lives on the premises, the contractual relationship between the lessee and lessor does not matter. Commission Chair Mike Oates and Commissioner Karen Joplin also voted to uphold the Planning Director’s decision.
