Actions by public sector and nonprofit organizations
Outside of regulatory tools, actions are proposed in the short, medium, and long-term timeframes. They include work to support things such as the envisioned multi-cultural hub, affordable housing, work force training, community services, new open spaces, infrastructure planning and more. Read about these in Sections 2 and 3 of the plan:

As part of the proposed West Portland Multicultural Plan District
A wide variety of regulations are proposed that cover topics such as minimum densities, preservation of low-cost apartments, tiered incentives to promote public benefits, design standards for multi dwelling areas, required green features for commercial areas, and fostering employment.
