TD Council Accepts Buildable Lands Inventory

The Dalles City Council has decided to adopt the Employment Buildable Lands Inventory and amend the municipal comprehensive plan to reflect it.  Councilors hesitated in making that move a couple of months ago, worried approval would prevent The Dalles from being able to seek expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary after Google constructs its fourth and fifth phase projects that would consume a large chunk of what is currently listed as buildable lands.  But City Planning Director Alice Cannon told councilors they can update the data when that happens, explaining the plan is valuable even if it might not currently point toward a UGB expansion.  The lands inventory should be incorporated into the comp plan this summer.
