Residents challenge HR 'middle housing’ codes

HOOD RIVER — Unhappy with “Middle Housing” changes to Hood River’s zoning and building codes, Brian Towey and four other city residents say they will appeal the city’s decisions to a higher court. The City of Hood River did not give residents adequate notice for the March 8 public hearing on the new codes, Towey said in “Intent to File,” an appeal to Oregon’s Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA), the state’s highest tribunal for land-use decisions. As of publication, LUBA had received, but not yet agreed to hear, the case.

Hood River Mayor Kate McBride said she welcomed LUBA’s opinion.
