On Wednesday, August 6, 2008, the Portland City Council will conduct a public hearing on the periodic review work program for the City's Comprehensive Plan update, including the Planning Commission's recommendations on meeting the periodic review requirements. Council action in this regard will meet State requirements for periodic review. Council discussion and decision on the larger Portland Plan work program (work program elements beyond the scope of periodic review) have been deferred to a later date this Fall to allow more time for Council consideration of the larger scope of the Portland Plan, including the questions and issues raised by the public during the May and June meetings and feedback received on the draft work program.

City Council will consider this item at 2:00 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers, 1221 SW 4th Avenue, Portland, Oregon.

The exhibits are limited to periodic review and do not include a work program for non-mandated plan updates. The Draft Preliminary Work Program for the Portland Plan – to be revised further in the next few months – is available online at
