In 2005 Metro adopted Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 13, Nature in Neighborhoods, which requires that Metro-area cities and counties demonstrate their programs adequately protect designated rivers, streams and drainage ways, wetlands, floodplains, riparian areas, and wildlife habitat. Cities and counties may achieve Title 13 compliance through regulatory and/or non-regulatory programs.
The City of Portland has prepared a draft request for Metro to determine that Portland complies with Title 13. The Planning and Sustainability Commission has recommended that the request be forwarded to City Council for approval. The PSC is also recommending that the City and Metro enter into a voluntary intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to continue watershed health-related efforts. The draft compliance request and IGA will go to the City Council for consideration and a public hearing on Nov. 28, 2012, at 2:30 p.m.
