The Dalles City Council received a draft of a housing needs and residential buildable land needs analysis during their meeting Monday evening.  It’s one of three studies the City is having done, including the transportation systems plan that will be done in about a month and a parking study, that could lead to changes in the municipal comprehensive land use plan.  But Mayor Steve Lawrence noted that new City Planning Director Steven Harris advised the Council to be cautious and not move too fast on any changes.  Lawrence added the analysis shows 480 acres of buildable space in The Dalles under the state’s definitions, but that doesn’t mean the land is necessarily available for development for reasons ranging from zoning to ownership.
