Are there Plan District regulations?
Some sites within the City of Portland are located within plan districts. Plan districts may have additional regulations that can impact a project.
Plan district regulations are applied in conjunction with a base zone. The plan district provisions may modify any portion of the regulations of the base zone, overlay zone or other regulations of the zoning code. The regulations of a plan district may also apply additional requirements or allow exceptions to general regulations.
Where there is a conflict between the plan district regulations and the base zone, overlay zone or other regulations of the zoning code, the plan district regulations control. See Chapter 33.500.
