The Dalles City Council unanimously affirmed a municipal planning commission decision to approve a conditional use permit to allow a proposed mixed-use multi-family development at the site of the former Griffith Motors building on 523 East 3rd Street to be 60 feet high.  That planning commission decision was appealed by a nearby property owner who said City codes require an application for a building in the Central Business Commercial District above 55 feet to go through a variance process.  But City land use attorney Chris Crean said the code the appellant referred to was only if an applicant sought administrative approval, but going through the CUP process allows up to 75 feet.  This project could come before the Council again for a different issue.  Community Development Director Joshua Chandler told the Council an appeal was filed on Monday regarding the parking requirements for the facility that would have 110 apartment units above first floor commercial uses.
