HBA PBUD Meets with PDX Staff to get Update and Discuss RIP2 Progress

 

Twenty seven Portland builders, developers, and interested parties joined the Portland Builders and Urban Development Council (PBUD) for their monthly meeting on March 2 to get an update on the progress of Portland’s Residential Infill Project 2 (RIP2) from Morgan Tracy. Mr. Tracy is a Project Manager with the City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (PSC) who is working on the RIP2 project.

In addition to an update on the proposed changes before the Planning and Sustainability Commission, the attendees were able to ask questions based on specific project types and also offer suggestions that would make market rate middle housing more likely to occur under the new rules.

Some of the amendments to the original RIP2 proposal offered by the PSC are:

1. Reduce ‘z’ overlay (exclude R2.5-R7 wildfire risk areas)

2. Create “detached duplex” as allowable housing type

3. Adjust building coverage limits for accessory structures

4. Minor changes to cottage clusters

5. Reduce minimum lot sizes for triplexes/fourplexes

The second part of the Residential Infill Project, (RIP2) addresses several outstanding mandates required by HB 2001, recent middle housing legislation passed in 2019. This bill requires Metro cities to allow duplexes on all lots where single homes are allowed and allow other types of middle housing, such as triplexes, fourplexes, attached houses and cottage clusters in many residential areas.

While the Residential Infill Project (RIP), effective August 1, 2021, addressed residential zones from R2.5 to R7, the second part completes the expansion of housing types allowed in all residential zones, including Portland’s larger lots in outlying areas, and addresses the expedited land division requirements of SB 458.

You can view Mr. Tracy's slide deck here. Contact Ryan Makinster at ryanm@hbapdx.org for more information or to join PBUD.
