Oregon land use law requires the City of Portland to notify participants in a land use change process when a decision has been made. On April 28, City Council adopted an ordinance with changes to Title 33 (Planning and Zoning) for the Shelter to Housing Continuum project. The changes addressing homeless shelters were effective immediately; other portions will become effective on Aug. 1, 2021.
A formal Notice of Adoption of a Post Acknowledgement Plan Amendment for the project was filed with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development on May 17, 2021.
