Pleasant Valley is an area that was added to the region’s urban growth boundary in 1998 to
accommodate forecasted population growth in the region. Pleasant Valley is planned as a new,
urban community. It is 1,532 acres located south and east of the current city limits for Gresham
and Portland. The City of Portland has been working with its regional partners and the community
since 1998 to create a plan for the future urbanization of this rural area. This extensive planning
process has created a vision and a plan for the transition of a rural community of 800 residents into
an urban community of approximately 12,000 residents and 5,000 jobs. This document proposes to
implement the community vision through amendments to Portland’s Comprehensive Plan and Title
33, Planning and Zoning. [From the Plan]
