Lege TREND. Property Rights and Prohibiting Single Family Zoning

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
