White Salmon Council Hearing On Development Moratorium Wednesday

The White Salmon City Council will hold a public hearing Wednesday evening on the six-month moratorium on development in residential zones that Councilors adopted last month.  The moratorium was instituted to address what is being termed as “inconsistencies” between city codes and the current comprehensive plan as they relate to attainable housing, but with a number of exemptions, most notably development of single-family residences.  Councilors indicated they want to focus on zoning review and amendments, taking input on actions the council is considering regarding funding, encouraging, and implementing affordable housing development, determining affordable housing thresholds as they relate to development in the form of accessory development units, townhomes, duplexes, and multi-family residences, and steps to stop the continuing decline of mobile home residences in designated residential zones.  The hearing will be Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the White Salmon Fire Hall.
