The Central City 2035 Plan Discussion Draft Update
  Join The Conversation!
The Proposed Draft will be presented on June 20, 2016 to the Planning and Sustainability Commission (PSC) at a briefing. Commissioners will then hear public testimony at two hearings: one on July 26 and the other on August 9.

Portlanders have the opportunity to submit testimony on the Proposed Draft to the PSC in person or in writing, prior to or at the hearings.

The culmination of more than five years of planning that involved more than 8,000 Portlanders, the Plan lays the groundwork for a prosperous, healthy, equitable and resilient Central City, where people can collaborate, innovate and create a better future together.

Review The CC2035 Discussion Draft

July 26, 2016 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Portland Building, Room C

August 9, 2016 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. Portland Building, Room C

After the hearings, the Planning and Sustainability Commission will hold work sessions on September 27, November 8 and November 22 to convey its recommendation on the CC2035 Plan. The project will then go before the Portland City Council for consideration and adoption.

The CC2035 Plan will be the first amendment to Portland's Comprehensive Plan. Specific recommendations comprised within the plan are anticipated to become effective in early 2018.

Public feedback is welcome from June 20 - July 23, 2016. Email: psc@portlandoregon.gov
