Portland weighs loosening city code around where homeless shelters, organized camps can open
“You can t be perpetually in a state of emergency. We have to find a new normal at some point,” said Eric Engstrom, a principal planner with the city. Author: Maggie Vespa Updated: 8:27 PM PDT March 15, 2021
PORTLAND, Ore. Nearly 100 people, as of Monday evening, were signed up to speak to Portland’s City Council Wednesday about a proposed list of changes to city codes surrounding where homeless shelters and organized camps can open.
It would essentially wave zoning restrictions and speed up permitting processes, allowing agencies and non-profits to open shelters practically anywhere in Portland. That, in temporary cases, includes parks.
Council delays vote on homeless shelter expansion plan March 11 2021
A second hearing on the proposal is added after concerns grow that too many new shelters will be sited in East Portland.
The City Council has scheduled an additional hearing on a controversial proposal to allow more homeless shelters, including sanctioned campsites, in most of Portland.
The first hearing on the Shelter to Housing Continuum Project is scheduled for Wednesday, March 17, as originally planned. But, largely because of concerns that a disproportionate number of new shelters could be sited in East Portland, the council has now scheduled another hearing on March 24, when the final vote was set to take place. That is now tentatively scheduled for March 31.
