CCHC Nears Closing On Rhine Village

Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation is about to close on the acquisition of the Rhine Village Apartments in White Salmon.  CCHC has been working on the acquisition for a couple of years to preserve the 36-unit complex as affordable housing, as the covenants from its construction over 40 years ago were about to expire.  CCHC Executive Director Joel Madsen said they didn’t want to move forward with the purchase until they had accumulated funding to make substantial improvements to the complex.  Madsen says they have been able to line up $6.7 million in funding to cover the purchase and the renovations.  He says income requirements will remain up to 80 percent of median income.

TD Council Upholds Meadow Advertising Appeal

The Dalles City Council unanimously upheld an appeal by Meadow Outdoor Advertising of a Planning Commission decision that would have prevented the company from replacing an existing billboard adjacent to a city street with a larger one on East 2nd.  The Community Development Department and the Planning Commission had denied the application, finding the proposed billboard would have exceeded the maximum number allowed per mile under municipal code.  But Meadow argued the finding was based on a radial mile, while the City had in the past approved billboard placement on an actual road mile measurement.  Councilors said they should stick with the road mile standard, with Councilor Tim McGlothlin noting the ambiguity in the city’s code apparently was to have been addressed 30 years ago.  Councilors also noted the subject of whether to use a road mile or radial mile standard should be addressed at a policy level, not while deciding a specific application.

TD City Council Approves STR Moratorium

The Dalles City Council approved a moratorium on new non-owner occupied short-term rental licenses in residential zones for the next 12 months while the City determines what kind of revisions should be made to their regulations on STR’s.  The action came after Councilors had received complaints about STR’s in recent months.  Mayor Rich Mays says staff will come back to them with options, and there are a wide range to be looked at.  The moratorium does not prevent current operators of existing STR’s from applying for a license renewal in 2024.

HR Council Hears Parks & Rec Pool/Community Center Concept

Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District Director Mark Hickox made a presentation to Hood River City Councilors about the district’s plans to seek a bond measure and operating levy this May to replace the aging Hood River Aquatic Center with a new pool, splash pad, and community center facility along with other projects.  Hickox presented a concept where the new pool would be located on the current Collins Field. City Councilors had numerous questions, most notably about public feedback and the shuffling of ownership of lands among agencies.  The bond measure Hickox outlined also could include development of a Westside Park and other smaller developments, enhancements to the Indian Creek Trail, plus a park shop and maintenance equipment.

Klickitat County Solar Development Discussion Moves To Planning

Earlier this month, Klickitat County Commissioners adopted a moratorium on large-scale solar development over one acre in size in a number of townships in the Goldendale and Centerville valleys, and now the issue heads to the County Planning Commission for consideration of what kinds of regulations should be in place for those kind of developments.  Commissioner Lori Zoller says it will be a complicated process given the number of issues to consider and the partners that will be involved.  Zoller adds state and federal endangered species law will need to be wrapped into whatever regulations are put in place.
