<br />Comments: ORS 197.309 prohibits inclusionary zoning for development of affordable housing. <br />Repeal of this measure would enable the City to use this mechanism to meet state land <br />use requirements and create more housing opportunities for persons with limited <br />incomes. <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Steve Nystrom PDD-ADM 2/25/2011 Pri 2 Support <br /> <br />Comments: Concur with Amanda.
