WHEREAS, the Gateway Regional Center is the only regional center in the City of Portland and an urban renewal area; and

WHEREAS, the Gateway Regional Center is anticipated to grow significantly beyond its current suburban character to achieve a level of development intensity second only to Portland’s Central City; and

WHEREAS, the Gateway Planning Regulations Project was developed with the cooperation of City bureaus and other public agencies and with the participation of neighborhood and business organizations, property and business owners, area residents, the Gateway Regional Center Urban Renewal Area Program Advisory Committee, and other interested persons; and

WHEREAS, the Gateway Planning Regulations Project urban design concept represents a refinement of earlier concepts, including the Opportunity Gateway Concept approved by City Council in February 2000, and serves as a general blueprint for identifying elements of urban form that are to be preserved, changed, and enhanced; and

WHEREAS, the attainment of the urban design concept and objectives of the Gateway Regional Center Subarea Policy of the Outer Southeast Community Plan is dependent upon the coordination of independent actions carried out by private interests, public service providers, and community-based associations; and

WHEREAS, the revised objectives of the Gateway Planning Regulations Project are adopted as part of the Outer Southeast Community Plan, and actions taken to implement the Gateway Regional Center Subarea Policy also uphold the Outer Southeast Community Plan; and

WHEREAS, action charts describe the proposed implementation projects and programs of the Gateway Regional Center Subarea Policy of the Outer Southeast Community Plan, identify appropriate timeframes for their implementation, and identify agents to oversee or participate in the implementation of an action; and
