On October 16, 1980, the Portland City Council
adopted a Comprehensive Plan for the City, including Goals, Policies,
Objectives and a Plan Map, to guide the future development and redevelopment of
the City. The Comprehensive Plan was intended to be dynamic, able to inspire,
guide, and direct growth in the City while also responding to change through
amendment and refinement.
Since adoption, the Goals, Policies and Objectives of
the Plan have been amended to respond to new circumstances, special studies,
new technology, and changes in state land use regulations.
This document
contains the latest revisions to the Goals, Policies, and Objectives to reflect
these changing conditions. This document also contains “A Vision of Portland’s
