As the Hood River County Commission prepares to once again discuss its Short-Term Rentals Ordinance at their meeting in two weeks, another factor has entered into the discussion.  Interim Community Development Director Eric Walker talked to Commissioners at a worksession on Monday about a state law that limits the ability to grandfather existing uses on resource lands zoned exclusive farm use and forestlands.  It requires someone to actually live in the home in question to be eligible.  Commissioner Bob Benton asked Walker if there was another way to address the issue, perhaps through some kind of wind-down plan, rather than through the STR ordinance.  Walker said he was unsure how that could be done.  The Commission will talk about the STR ordinance again at their April 15 meeting.
