City of Portland, Oregon Portland Permitting & Development Office of the Director ric Kutch, Direct one: (503) 823-730 TTY: 711 www.portland.gov/ppd July 14, 2026 To: Mayor Willson and Member of the Portland City Council From: Eric Kutch, Director, Portland Permitting & Development CC: City Administrator C. Lee Ill and Deputy City Administrator Donnie Oliveria Subject: Overview of the upcoming Early Assistance meeting with McCall Terminals and PP&D Background McCall Terminals will meet with Portland Permitting & Development (PP&D) - alongside the Bureau of Planning & Sustainability (BPS),and Portland Fire & Rescue (Fire) - on July 28 for an optional early assistance to discuss the potential permitting and land use needs associated with their proposal to demolish an existing building on their property in order to extend rail infrastructure onto an adjacent property, as well as associated site, utility, piping, electrical and operational improvements. A preliminary and unofficial review by PP&D's land use team of the application materials indicates a land use review may not be required. This pre-application conference will allow this team to further explore these pre-application materials in discussion with representatives from McCall Terminals. McCall Terminal's Proposal Per the pre-application materials submitted by McCall Terminal, they are proposing "an extension of the existing rail infrastructure at the NW Front Avenue terminal in Portland, Oregon. The project would include demolition of an existing building [noted 'A' in the image below*), extension of the rail yard (current rails noted 'B' in the image below*) onto the adjacent property, installation of new rail infrastructure for loading and unloading asphalt and liquid fuel product, and associated site, utility, piping, electrical, and operational improvements (general area where work will happen noted 'C' in the image below*]."
It's easy to be against transformational civic projects. There are risks, though a renovated arena holds far fewer risks than constructing a new one. Calling foul and throwing around accusations can boost re-election campaigns but we can't wave away the very real risk of declining tax revenue, broken promises to neighborhoods, and lost jobs. Big projects like this also attract opportunists, such as the Brooklyn-based techbro using our city's dilemma to pitch his 'civic engagement' dot-com startup. (He reached out to me and offered to personally deliver 10 city council votes if I used the 'term sheet' he developed.)
Black text on yellow background: Thinking Local: District 4 Coffee w/ Councilor Green Friday, June 12, 2026 9:00 AM 10:30 AM Matta Café Bar 1425 NW Flanders St, Portland Join Better Portland members for a casual coffee meetup to connect with our community and support local businesses in the Portland area. This month, we’re in District 4 with City Councilor Mitch Green. He will join us to chat about what’s happening in the district, the priorities, and to hear from you about your needs as a small business.
How will the City pay for its share? City Council will have to approve any City dollars that are spent on the project, and has not deliberated or made any decisions yet. Some options that have been suggested include: • The City is anticipating $45 million in tax revenue from the sale of the Portland Trail Blazers from the estate of Paul Allen to the new owners. This revenue is not currently allocated to any future expenses and could go towards the $120 million the City would invest in the Moda Center.
Legislative Concept Rates are designed with fixed and variable charge components. The fixed component is a flat rate per unit per billable account, while the variable component is a flat rate per 100 square feet of utilized zoned land (with regards to billable accounts). Furthermore, the variable component will apply to all zoned land. Utilized zoned land usage means the total buildable land in the parcel divided by the number of billable units on the land. For example, if you have 10,000 SQFT of buildable land on the parcel, with 100 units with billable accounts, then the utilized zoned land is 100 SQFT per unit. Proposed two-part rate structure Flat fee component: The flat fee will be assessed at $3 per unit per billed account on a monthly basis. Variable fee component: Variable fee will be assessed at $0.10 per 100 SQFT of utilized zoned land usage for each billable account on a monthly basis. The Office of Councilor Green 04/01/2026

A Message from Councilor Green Dear Portland, Last week I was made aware of the mind-blowing fact that the Portland Housing Bureau is currently sitting on upwards of $106 million in unspent funds. This is money intended to create and preserve affordable housing, to prevent homelessness, and to provide stability for our most vulnerable neighbors. The fact that it has been sitting idle, hidden from public view and even from the City Council itself while we debate cuts to beloved programs, and while more Portlanders fall into homelessness every single day is frankly shocking. This profound failure of transparency and accountability highlights deep, systemic problems within our city's administration. One of the roles the City Council is tasked with in our new charter is to perform oversight to ensure that City policies are carried out effectively and efficiently. And that’s exactly what I intend to do.

Councilor Mitch Green Portland City Council, District 4 1221 SW 4th Ave. # 240, Portland, OR, 97204 Media Contact: Maria Sipin, Chief of Staff maria.sipin2@portlandoregon.gov FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Councilor Mitch Green’s Statement on November 1st Camping Ban Enforcement Policy October 30, 2025 “We have seen ICE and the National Guard perform homeless sweeps in other cities where they've been deployed, and we’ve heard Trump calling for increased sweeps and even disappearance of unhoused people. It is a bad, cruel, and failed policy when the Trump administration does it, and it is a bad, cruel, and failed policy when the city of Portland does it. As we face the very real possibility of federal troops being deployed to our streets to target one group of vulnerable people, we absolutely cannot start using our own police to do their work for them by targeting another. Some will argue that sweeps are about safety and compassion, but the evidence is clear and overwhelming. Sweeps kill people. For far too long, Portland has pursued a failed policy of criminalizing poverty. As a result, we’ve spent hundreds of millions of dollars only to see the problem grow, and deaths among our homeless neighbors quadruple between 2019 and 2023. It’s time to change direction. We need to protect ALL Portlanders.

[1] The above equation, when plotted with quantity demanded (Qx) on the x-axis and price (Px) on the y-axis, gives the demand curve, which is also known as the demand schedule. The demand curve is downward sloping illustrating the inverse relationship between quantity demanded and price.
