HBA Testifies Against Appeal Fee Waiver in Gresham

On Tuesday, December 5th, HBA provided testimony to the City Council in Gresham regarding an earlier decision to approve a Type III appeal fee waiver for neighborhood groups against a proposed 150-unit housing development. With virtually no public comment opportunity and deliberation, council erroneously approved to waive any appeal fees, granting anyone from Planning Commission meetings with standing to qualify. We believe that this sets a dangerous precedent and opens up future housing developments in Gresham (and beyond) to groundless appeals from anti-growth neighbors. We are strongly urging council to reconsider their position.
