Where? Oregon
What? HB 2001 (2019 | OR)
How does HB 2001 change zoning?
- Cities 10,000+ must allow duplexes in single-family zoned areas
- In the Portland and its county, must allow quadplexes and “cottage clusters” of homes around a common yard
Why? To fill a housing gap between single family and high rise living from zoning ordinances that some trace back to segregation
