Narrative:
A joint hearing of the Portland Planning Commission and Portland Design Commission on the Proposed Montgomery Park Area Plan (MPAP). The meeting is a public hearing required by 33.740.020.A.2, and will include a briefing and public hearing with testimony.
The MPAP is a long-range area plan that proposes to create a transit-oriented, mixed-use district in Northwest Portland (located north of NW Vaughn, south of NW Nicolai, west of US 30) that will include both employment uses and housing. The area is proposed to be served by a future extension of the Portland Streetcar. The plan proposes changes to land use maps and regulations and supporting design guidelines via a new Character Statement for the area.
The Planning Commission will consider the proposed plan, including Comprehensive Plan map, Zoning map, and Zoning Code changes and forward their recommendations to City Council.
The Design Commission will consider a proposed design Character Statement for the area and forward their recommendations to City Council.
