1. River Plan / North Reach Plan Release (May 23)
The River Team has been hard at work over the last two years and will release the River Plan/North Reach: River Plan Committee draft on May 23, 2008. The draft will include a wide range of recommendations that have been developed in consultation with stakeholders, topic experts and the community. Recommendations include new and continuing programs, process improvements, partnerships, infrastructure investments and modifications of existing City regulations and code. The River Plan Committee draft will not include final code language, but should provide a good understanding of the types of code amendments that will be included in the final draft.
We want your feedback! The draft will be sent out to the public via River Plan News and posted to the River Plan website. The River Plan Committee will take public comment on the draft at their June 5 meeting. You can also email comments to the River Team at riverplan@ci.portland.or.us. Public comments are due by June 12, 2008.
Next Steps:
The River Team will revise the draft over the summer based on feedback from the public and the River Plan Committee, and present it to the Planning Commission and City Council in the Fall.
