The ABCs of Land Use – Understanding And Responding to Land Use Notices
The second module in the “ABCs of Land Use” in Portland focuses on an overview of land use notices, with an emphasis on how community members can effectively interpret and respond to them. The session concentrates on Adjustment Reviews and Conditional Use Reviews which are among the most common notice types the City of Portland sends to neighborhoods. Learn about the structure and purpose of land use notices, how to identify key information, and how notices fit within Portland’s quasi-judicial land use review processes. This overview is essential for anyone interested in learning practical strategies for evaluating proposed land use actions, interpreting notices, and responding effectively in local land use processes.

Inner Eastside Zoning Project (Portland.gov)
The primary intent of the Inner Eastside Zoning Project is to change zoning to allow for a greater diversity of housing to be built in Portland’s Inner Eastside. This will help make this desirable area more accessible to people with a broad range of incomes.
Learn about the city’s upcoming Inner Eastside Rezoning Project which will evaluate potential zoning changes across a broad area of Inner Neighborhoods, including parts of both northeast and southeast Portland. Its goals are to expanding housing options in areas with strong access to services, amenities, and transit, and bring alignment with Portland’s broader housing and growth strategies. This overview outlines the project scope in development, anticipated timeline, and opportunities for engagement before outreach and technical work advances.
