It’s Official, Council Denies Rezone
The Portland City Council reaffirmed its earlier tentative vote and rejected the comprehensive plan amendment that would’ve rezoned most of Colwood National Golf Course from open space to industrial.
The full details are available here: Council Findings on Colwood
What’s next? Although this is the City’s final decision on this matter, the applicant may still appeal the decision to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA), within 21 days of the date of decision.
We remain hopeful that an appeal will not happen. Moreover, it remains our sincere hope that if the landowner is no longer interested in managin Colwood as a golf course that they consider working with the Trust for Public Land to transfer that property to public ownership at a fair market price.
