National Scenic Area Land Use and Development Ordinance (NSA LUDO) -- 2024 Update
The County last updated the NSA LUDO in 2021. That amendment was considered a "major update" to bring the document into compliance with new rules from the Columbia River Gorge Commission. Since that time, the Wasco County Planning Department has compiled a list of amendments needed to respond to several "housekeeping" issues. These include an update to recognize the County's Hearings Officer as a decision-making authority for land use hearings, the addition of cross-references/citations to other document sections to improve readability, and the correction of language that is currently inconsistent with the Columbia River Gorge Commission's Master Plan. Lastly, this update incorporates amendments to Section 3.240 Flood Hazard Overlay to comply with 2020 requirements from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and the State of Oregon.
