Draft proposals to reduce the scale of new houses, allow more housing options and address issues around historically narrow lots are now available for public review and comment.

In response to community concerns about demolition and infill, project staff and the RIP Stakeholder Advisory Committee are exploring ways to adapt Portland’s single-dwelling zoning rules to meet the needs of current and future generations. View the Online Open House and take the RIP Questionnaire.

From June 15 to August 15, the public is invited to review draft proposals and take an online questionnaire. Staff will use the public input to refine proposals for City Council to consider in the fall.

Portlanders have other opportunities to learn about the draft proposals at in-person open houses throughout the city in June and July. Please come to learn about the project, review the proposals, ask questions and share your feedback.
