The proposed city RIP regulations and zoning changes related to removal of exclusive single family home zoning, reduced size of permitted new single family homes, and Design Overlay Zone Assessment (DOZA), passed in a surprisingly close 5-4 vote of Portland’s appointed Planning and Sustainability Commission.
The 5-4 vote sends the controversial proposal to rezone 93 percent of the city's single-family neighborhoods for up to four housing units on most residential lots to the City Council for consideration this summer.
Come and hear thoughtful and informative perspectives on the subject matter from two speakers:
