A large crowd assembled in Hood River City Hall as the Project Advisory Committee for the Westside Area Concept Plan met Wednesday evening.  Most of those who spoke were from Citizens For Responsible Development, which has formed to oppose the perceived current direction of the plan.  Speakers for the most part criticized up-zoning for increased density painting too broad a brush over the Westside area, felt it would not meet City goals for providing more affordable housing, and questioned whether transportation and infrastructure needs for growth were receiving enough attention.  Two members of the committee, Bob Schuppe and Susan Garrett Crowley, questioned why they were never presented leaving current zoning in place as an alternative.  Consultant Joe Dills of the Angelo Planning Group said that was because the starting point was that existing zoning would not meet objectives.  Committee members were asked to study new maps presented at the meeting and determined if they were confident in the preferred plan, and give feedback to create an alternative.  It had been originally planned to be the final meeting of the group, but additional meetings have now been set for August and September before they send a final draft to City Planning Commission to begin a hearings process.
