Bureau of Planning and Sustainability Seeks Input for Better Housing by Design Project

The Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability will be hosting two open houses in June for community members to learn about and provide input on the draft code concept for the Better Housing by Design project. The open houses will be Thursday June 1, 5:30-7:30 pm, and Saturday June 3, 10 am-12 pm.

The Better Housing by Design (BHD) project aims to improve the design of multifamily housing outside of the central core of Portland. It covers all multi-dwelling zones (R3, R2, R1, and RH), and aims to strengthen requirements for outdoor spaces, encourage a range of housing that includes "missing middle" structures, and improve walkability. Bureau of Planning and Sustainability staff are expected to release the final Code Concept Report in the Summer of 2017. Read more.
