The Mixed Use Zones Project will revise Portland’s Commercial and Central Employment zoning codes applied in Centers and Corridors outside of the Central City. These zones (CN1/2, CO1/2, CM, CS, CG, CX, EX), in which mixed uses are allowed, were created over 20 years ago when auto-oriented and low intensity commercial uses were more common. The project will address issues that arise with new more intensive mixed use buildings, such as: massing and design, transitions and step-downs, and ground floor uses. An initial concept proposal is being developed this fall. A more detailed Mixed Use Zones Concept Report is due this winter. Proposed zoning codes are expected in spring 2015. Public hearings on any proposed zoning codes are anticipated in June/July 2015. Meeting Agenda: 6:00 PM Doors Open 6:30 PM Presentation: what we have learned; issues and concepts 7:30 PM Work Session: share your thoughts 8:30 PM Wrap-Up: common themes, next steps 9:00 PM Adjourn Why are We Doing This? Portland is expected to grow – in both households and jobs – over the next 20 years. Where these households and jobs locate is key to supporting and enhancing the qualities that help make Portland an attractive place. Portland’s new Comprehensive Plan proposes to focus neighborhood businesses and much of new household growth in mixed use “Centers and Corridors” that will serve as the anchors of convenient, walkable neighborhoods. This will help Portland meet its vision and goals for becoming a more prosperous, healthy, equitable and resilient city.
