Portland Considering Changes in Planning

The Portland Chamber is looking for feedback regarding proposed changes of the Planning and Development Department and the permitting process. Major components of the revisions include:

FactRevisions to Section 14-526(a) of the City Code, Site Plan Standards.

FactModifications to the development review process and procedures of Article V of the City Code.

FactRevisions to the City of Portland Technical and Design Standards and Guidelines.

FactImplementation of new development review tracking software.

This is a large and complicated undertaking and the Chamber has hired land use attorney Bill Plouffe to keep abreast of all changes and draft commentary as necessary.

Details of the proposed changes are available at the Chamber’s website: Proposed Revisions. There you can also find a link to Chris O’Neil, who is associated with the Chamber and keeps the public up-to-date with things going on in the City Council.
