Development Objectives
Source: WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (Adopted by the Commission September 18, 2007)

The following public development objectives are intended to inform decisions by the Port of Hood River Commission about the marketing and disposition of real property on the Hood River Waterfront and are an integral part of the Waterfront Marketing Strategy.

I. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
• Emphasize critical local industries that support Hood River County's base economy, including technology, renewable energy, recreational gear and value-added agriculture.
• Preserve and support current light industrial businesses.
• Provide a mix of employment types and uses.
• Promote private investment.

II. JOB RETENTION AND CREATION
• Facilitate the creation of quality jobs. Businesses should pay at or above County's average wage for their industry and include reasonable benefits.
• Enhance job opportunities for local residents.
• Require a minimum job density guideline of one job per 1,000 square feet of building area. Higher employment density is preferred.

III. QUALITY DEVELOPMENT
• Promote high standards for building design and construction following the Port's Design Guidelines.
• Encourage sustainable development in infrastructure, building design and operation.
• Seek employers that are compatible with one another and support adjacent recreational uses and private and public investments.

IV. COLLABORATIVE PROCESS
• Build consensus with the public for development concept and strategies.
• Work with other local governments, like the city, to ensure appropriate land use regulations that support public objectives.

V. HIGH QUALITY RECREATION
• Ensure development is compatible with existing recreational activities.
• Maintain and enhance waterfront recreation sites.
• Improve pedestrian access to the river and downtown.
