Commissioner Carmen Rubio and Bureau of Development Services director Rebecca Esau released the results of a survey seeking input on processes and policies related to the development of housing that may merit reconsideration as policymakers work to increase housing development.

“As we strive to build more housing units to meet the needs of Portlanders, it’s vitally important that we learn from stakeholders what actions we should take locally and at the state level to enable development more quickly,” said Rubio.

“As the Governor and Legislature pursue legislation that affects local zoning and development policies, it’s important that Portland contribute to that discussion with ideas that can increase the feasibility and production of housing,” said Esau.
