Housing: Officials now have more concrete data
Continued from Page 1A
“In order to have economic
growth, you’re going to have
to have some compromises on
development,” Leahy said.
People who can’t afford
to purchase a home are feel-
ing the effects of the housing
crunch as well. Since more
people are choosing to rent,
rental units are becoming
more expensive.
“For those who can afford
it, the properties for under
$300,000 go pretty quickly,”
said Elaine Bruce, execu-
tive director of Clatsop Com-
munity Action, a nonprofit
that works with low-income
residents and the homeless.
“That increases pressure for
everybody.”
The quality of rental
properties can also be poor.
One Warrenton resident, for
instance, recently rented out
a converted chicken coop for
$650, Mayor Henry Balensifer
said.
To develop affordable
housing on available land,
developers will need more
incentives, Bruce said.
“They’re not going to
develop it if it loses money,”
Bruce said. “To me, that’s the
biggest challenge we have.”
Over the past few months,
representatives from local
government and other orga-
nizations have met to discuss
the housing study. Clatsop
County, Astoria, Warrenton,
Seaside, Cannon Beach and
Gearhart approved it last year.
Johnson Economics, a Port-
land-based consulting firm,
has led the $100,000 effort.
The study has documented
a number of findings and pro-
duced data — available on the
county website — about the
local housing situation. After

hearing public input at town
halls in November, the con-
sulting firm will present rec-
ommended regulatory, zon-
ing and code changes to the
county and cities. They hope
to release the recommenda-
tions by the end of the year.

the lone ‘no’ vote

Port President Frank
Spence and Commissioners
Dirk Rohne, James Campbell
and Robert Stevens voted to
approve the settlement with
Param, the new hotel lease
and the payment to Hospital-
ity Ventures.
Port Commissioner Bill
Hunsinger, who voted in 2012
to install Smithart as operator,
was the lone “no” vote against
all three moves, calling them a
cover-up for mistakes made by
Knight, who had a fraud claim
against him in the lawsuit by

“I’ve said it before and
I’ll say it again, I think there
needs to be a shake-up in the
staff at the Port of Astoria,”
Hunsinger said.

in terms of what is needed,”
Astoria City Manager Brett
Estes said, adding Astoria
could change its urban growth
boundary, occupancy require-
ments and vacation rental
rules.

it is unclear what the recom-
mendations will look like in
Clatsop County, officials now
have more concrete data in
hand.
“I think our elected offi-
cials are more ready than ever
to address this issue,” Leahy
said. “I’m hopeful.”

housing for years and it’s like,
‘OK, what is that?’” Balen-
sifer said. “I think there will be
a few things that we can move
on immediately and others we
need to review.”
A similar housing study in
Tillamook County produced
10 recommendations. While
Goldfarb believes what likely
made her application stand out was
about 13 years of experience deco-
rating Christmas trees for the Prov-
idence Festival of Trees fundraiser
events in Seaside and southern Ore-
gon. She described her aesthetic
as traditional, but also sometimes
“wild,” in reference to a year where
she decorated a tree with gnomes.
While some of the White House’s
Christmas decorations from last
year drew some criticism for being

tories of buildable lands. The
study, based partially off the
inventories, could allow the
conversation about the local
housing crunch to be less
vague, Balensifer said.
“I think it’s really important
to use that as a baseline. We’ve
been talking about affordable
“too eerie,” Goldfarb said she
thought the hallway offered mys-
tery and was done “beautifully.”
While Goldfarb is excited about
the prospect of bringing some of
her artistic vision into the home
and the shot at getting a photo with
first lady Melania Trump, Goldfarb
said getting the chance to even play
a small part in designing a build-
ing as historical and with as much
grandeur as the White House is
about every designers dream.
“It’s really an opportunity of a
lifetime,” she said.
