About the MPAP and the Public Benefits Agreement The MPAP Recommended Draft proposes land use and transportation changes to establish a new transit-oriented district in Northwest Portland west of Highway 30 between Northwest Vaughn Street and Northwest Nicolai Street. The plan seeks to transition the area into a mixed-use employment district that will support both job growth and housing development. The MPAP includes land use changes to promote equitable transit-oriented development and complement a future extension of the Portland Streetcar. The land use changes include amendments to Portland’s Comprehensive Plan map, zoning map, zoning code, and design guidance for future development. A related Public Benefits Agreement has also been developed between the City of Portland and the owner of the former ESCO site in the plan area. This agreement will support implementation of the MPAP and plan goals such as creation of middle wage jobs, affordable housing and commercial spaces, commemoration of York, and public open space. Find more information on the MPAP Recommended Draft and the Public Benefits Agreement on the MPAP project website.
