Ezones Map Correction Project

Natural resources like streams, wetlands, plants, trees, and flood areas help move water off private property, store water during flood events, hold hillsides in place, cool the air and provide habitat for wildlife. Protecting these natural resources protects houses, businesses and roads by reducing the risk of flooding and landslides. On some properties, natural resource protections could limit or restrict where new houses or structures may be built. 
 
To find out more about how the City is updating these rules and to see if your property is affected, visit About the Ezones Map Correction Project | Portland.gov. City staff will brief the Planning and Sustainability Commission about the project on Jan. 26, 2021. You can watch the briefing on YouTube and learn more about the PSC briefing (learn more:
