20210303 11055600 1.0 TRUE BLI Model Housing/Employment Allocation Allocation of Metro 2035 forecast for the City of Portland to a 250'X250' grid covering the City of Portland area. Forecast is allocated to cells based on development trends, employment densities, and underlying development capacity per the GIS-based buildable lands inventory (BLI) allocation and capacity models. Growth is allocated based on the current proposed comprehensive plan landuse designations and a proposed ("preferred") growth scenario that resulted from the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability's (BPS) 2012 Growth Scenario Analysis. For more information, refer to the 2012 growth scenarios report: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/article/449300 This report is in the process of being updated to include the new preferred scenario. Expected completion is early 2015. BPS is also producing a technical report describing the GIS-based allocation model. Expected completion is December 2014. There is an existing report that describes the capacity calculations of the model and how underutilized residential and employment sites are identified: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/article/408232 Information on development constraints and allocation methodology/assumptions will be added to the new technical report. In the interim, the main assumptions of the model, a series of graphics illustration the methodology and workflow, and a detailed description of the input development constraints are attached to this metadata info. --Additional Information: Category: Planning Purpose: For analyzing and mapping spatial distribution of forecasted housing/employment growth under the current comprehensive plan proposal Update Frequency: Regular Updates -- Metadata Link: https://www.portlandmaps.com/metadata/index.cfm?&action=DisplayLayer&LayerID=53973 Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
