<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those of you who may be interested, the Planning Workgroup of the Administrative Boundaries FIT is meeting in Portland for an in-depth look at Metro’s approach to regionalizing zoning. The meeting begins at 10am and ends around noontime.
See below for more information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Next week, on August 29, Metro is hosting our second meeting at:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Metro Regional Center <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">600 NE Grand Ave, Room 370A & B <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Convening at 10am, Zac and Dennis will spend about 45 minutes reviewing and sharing more about:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">The approach Metro has taken to regionalize zoning across jurisdictions<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The reasoning and criteria behind the aggregation AND how it was developed initially, the positions/roles of the people involved, how it is documented, how it evolves<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">The GIS methods/operations/routines, stewardship, etc., used<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">The needs it serves, benefits derived, and actual examples of use (policy and ops)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After a brief break, we can spend the rest of our meeting discussing:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">How Metro’s approach could translate to a statewide dataset<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">How Metro’s approach could translate to a data standard—with emphasis on data model’s zoning codes<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Other possible approaches<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Pilot ideas<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will wrap up by identifying action items, next steps, and deciding the where and when of the next meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those who won’t be there in person, I will send out virtual meeting details as soon as I have them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Planning Workgroup focuses on UGBs, zoning, and comp plan Framework elements.<o:p></o:p></p>
