Notice of Public Hearing
On October 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM, Goldendale will host a public hearing regarding conditional use applications from Michael Baca and Jerry Snelson. Baca seeks to occupy a recreational vehicle as a caretaker dwelling at 415 W Court St, while Snelson has a similar request for 127 W Sentinel St. The hearing will occur in the Council Chambers at City Hall, inviting community input on these proposals. Local residents are encouraged to testify for or against the applications, which could influence future zoning and land-use policies. The proposals highlight ongoing discussions about residential flexibility and caretaker arrangements in Goldendale.
If approved, these conditional uses could set a precedent for similar applications in the area. City officials will consider public feedback before making a determination on the applications. The decision will impact both the applicants and the broader community's living standards and regulations.
