Portland City Council (newly expanded to four geographic districts), Bureau of Development Services (BDS), Planning and Sustainability Commission, and Design Commission process land use reviews, zone changes, and design reviews. Oregon's Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) constrains outward expansion, concentrating development within city limits. HB 2001 (Residential Infill Project / RIP) legalized middle housing -- duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and cottage clusters -- in all residential zones citywide, generating a wave of land division and middle housing permit applications. The Central City Plan District, Division Street, and 82nd Avenue corridor see active mixed-use and affordable housing development. Portland's Type III quasi-judicial land use reviews and Design Commission hearings are the primary entitlement forums for larger projects.
