The City of Portland Ordains:

Section 1. The Council finds:

General Findings

1.  On September 26, 2001, Portland City Council adopted Ordinance #175965. This ordinance repealed Title 34, Subdivision and Partitioning Regulations and adopted amendments related to land divisions into Title 33, Planning and Zoning, effective March 26, 2001. This ordinance also directed the Office of Planning and Development Review, the Bureau of Environmental Services, and the Portland Office of Transportation to develop additional materials in advance of the effective date of the new regulations.

2.  Since September 26, 2001, the Bureau of Environmental Services, the Office of Transportation, and the Office of Planning and Development Review have begun to work toward completion of all implementation tasks directed by Ordinance #175965. In order to ensure completion of the bulk of this work in advance of the effective date of the new regulations, these bureaus recommend a delay in the effective date of the new code.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

a.  Amend Ordinance #175965 to delay the effective date of the new regulations until July 1, 2002, and;

b.  Amend directives g.-l. of Ordinance #175965 to reflect the amended effective date.

Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists because the effective date of Ordinance #175965 is less than thirty days from the date of passage of this ordinance; therefore, this Ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage by the council.
