Dear interested parties, the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability has just released a public Discussion Draft for the Central City Code Amendments Project (CCCAP). Many of you may have seen early concepts for a range of amendments that were contemplated for this effort. Attached is link to the Discussion Draft that presents BPS’s initial proposal and we seek your input before a formal recommendation is made to the Portland Planning Commission later this spring. As noted below, BPS will be holding a series of engagement events to brief interested parties on the amendments being proposed, to answer your questions you may have, and to hear any initial input you may want to share.
Central City Code Amendments Project
What: The Central City Code Amendments Project (CCCAP) will make strategic updates to the zoning tools of the Central City 2035 Plan. Post-pandemic trends continue to show high vacancy rates in downtown and other parts of the Central City. This project will explore creative solutions to promote housing production and support Central City revitalization. Learn more about CCCAP.
Status: The CCCAP Discussion Draft, encouraging housing production and economic recovery in downtown Portland, is now available for review. The City welcomes public comments on the Discussion Draft now through Friday, Feb. 13. A series of online and in person events for the public to learn about the project and give feedback are scheduled in January. Read the full announcement to learn more about the zoning proposals, how to participate in the events, and submit your comments.
