Nothing in the legislation prohibits big houses. All it does is legalize small ones.
- GurnBlandston 6y agoThe image near the top of the article explicitly states the previous maximum house size was 6750 sq ft, and new maximum house size for a "1-plex" is 2500 sq ft. This is a prohibition on new big houses.
- microtherion 6y agoYou're right — there are new limitations, which I overlooked at first. But it appears those don't apply to R10 and larger lots, so it's not a complete prohibition: https://www.portland.gov/sites/default/files/2020-08/exhibit_b_volume_2_code_commentary_adopted1_0.pdf https://www.portland.gov/sites/default/files/2020-08/exhibit...
