By a two-to-one vote, the Wasco County Commission approved an update of land use and development ordinances passed by the City of The Dalles that includes a state-mandated provision requiring multi-family “middle housing” to be allowed on properties zoned for single-family dwellings.  The County approves City land use ordinance revisions for lands within the urban growth boundary under a joint management agreement with the City.  A presentation from County planning staff indicated the new state law applied to UGB lands.  Commissioner Scott Hege, who voted no, disagreed with that interpretation.  Oregon legislators approved the requirement earlier this year for cities with a population over 10,000.
