Last month Next Portland shared information about the Design Overlay Zone Assessment (DOZA) project, a study that intends to look at what works and doesn’t work with Portland’s current Design Review system, and how the city can improve its process and tools to create a better process. The post mentioned that the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability would be soon be publishing a questionnaire, offering a direct way to provide feedback. That questionnaire is now online.  The DOZA team are looking for feedback from stakeholders, including “neighborhood residents, architects, developers, affordable housing advocates and other interested groups”.  The questionnaire will be available until September 9th, 2016, at 5 p.m.
