Summary

Council moved a Parks Bureau request to reclassify a vacant Willamette Heights parcel from open space to residential to second reading after adopting revised findings; record was closed and a final vote is scheduled for Aug. 12.

The council considered Document 202042 (LU26-007966CPZC), a legislative land-use request from Portland Parks & Recreation to change a parcel on Northwest 31st Avenue from open space to residential to allow sale and development.

Council President Dunphy summarized the item and noted that council previously voted to tentatively approve the application and asked staff to prepare revised findings. Staff filed revised findings and the council voted to amend the ordinance to adopt those findings and conclusions; the amendment passed with 12 ayes, and the item moved to second reading with a time certain for final vote on Aug. 12 at 9:45 a.m.

Because this is a legislative map and zoning decision, council handled it through the regular legislative ordinance process; no additional testimony was presented at the hearing and the record was closed.
