What is this project about?

The Montgomery Park Area Plan Recommended Draft proposes land use and transportation changes to establish a new transit-oriented district in Northwest Portland west of Highway 30 between NW Vaughn and NW Nicolai streets. The plan seeks to transition the area into a mixed-use employment district that will support both job growth and housing development.

The Montgomery Park Area Plan includes land use changes to promote equitable, transit oriented development and complement a future extension of the Portland Streetcar. The land use changes include amendments to Portland’s Comprehensive Plan map, zoning map, zoning code, and design guidance for future development.
