The Hood River County Planning Commission will receive code language to regulate short-term rentals sometime in January. Planning Commissioners spent Monday evening being brought up to speed on the direction Councilors gave for developing the code. Last month, Councilors reached consensus on wanting to put regulations in place for the short-term rentals, and to seek a cap on the number of permits to issue for them at current levels, with no cap on short-term rentals of rooms in primary residences. City Planning Director Cindy Walbridge said commissioners did not deliberate on anything, nor will they until a public hearing early in 2016. Walbridge notes the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development must receive notice 35 days in advance of the hearing.
