  • District Background

    District Background

    DRAFT SOUTHEAST LIAISON DISTRICT PROFILE DRAFT Introduction In 2004 the Bureau of Planning launched the District Liaison Program which assigns a City Planner to each of Portland’s designated liaison districts. Each planner acts as the Bureau’s primary contact between community residents, nonprofit groups and other government agencies on planning and development matters within their assigned district. As part of this program, District Profiles were compiled to provide a survey of the existing conditions, issues and neighborhood/community plans within each of the liaison districts. The Profiles will form a base of information for communities to make informed decisions about future development. This report is also intended to serve as a tool for planners and decision-makers to monitor the implementation of existing plans and facilitate future planning. The Profiles will also contribute to the ongoing dialogue and exchange of information between the Bureau of Planning, the community, and other City Bureaus regarding district planning issues and priorities. PLEASE NOTE: The content of this document remains a work-in-progress of the Bureau of Planning’s District Liaison Program. Feedback is appreciated. Area Description Boundaries The Southeast District lies just east of downtown covering roughly 17,600 acres. The District is bordered by the Willamette River to the west, the Banfield Freeway (I-84) to the north, SE 82nd and I- 205 to the east, and Clackamas County to the south.

Among the difficult reductions proposed, Urban Forestry could be effected by elimination of the $185,000 Dutch Elm Disease (DED) Treatment program. The City of Portland has minimized the spread of DED and avoided the decimation of the American elm (Ulmus americana) with a successful elm monitoring and treatment program. Without advanced warning, rapid detection and removal, the American elm could ultimately vanish from our landscape. Eastmoreland, Ladd’s Addition, the South Park blocks, Lents Park, Laurelhurst Park, and Overlook Park are areas where elms play a significant role in neighborhood identity. "Many communities have been able to maintain a healthy population of mature elms through a vigilant program of identification and removal of diseased elms and systematic pruning of weakened, dying or dead branches" -Linda Haugen, Plant Pathologist, USDA Forest Service Eliminating this program will also require adjacent property owners to cover the cost of removing DED- infected street trees themselves. The cut will also reduce citywide 24/7 emergency response to clear roads of trees which have fallen during storms, and reduce regular maintenance of publicly-owned trees- additional activities performed by some of the same staff .

    25Th Anniversary of Oregon's Statewide Planning Program

    DEPARTMENT OF LAND CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT Dear Media Contact: This year marks the 25th anniversary of Oregon's statewide planning program. This anniversary comes at a time when more Oregonians than ever are concerned about protecting our state's livability in the face of rapid growth. There is a high level of public interest in growth management, the environment, public costs of growth, and many other issues our planning program deals with. This "25th anniversary packet" provides information about our planning program and its history. It contains the following: a brochure on the program; a copy of Governor Kitzhaber's proclamation declaring May as Land Use Planning Month; some possibilities for story ideas; a list of activities that have already taken place or are planned over the next few months; a brief history of planning for land uses in Oregon, before the current program; highlights and key dates from the program's 25-year history; an analysis of future challenges; some of the program's major accomplishments; quotations about the planning program from all Oregon governors since Gov. Tom McCall, who requested the original legislation; and 0 a reference to key internet sites on planning. We hope you will find ths information useful.
