The Act tells OHCS to study housing.

-1 Gut and Stuff Amendment – A city with a population of 10,000 or greater on the effective date of this 2025 Act must remove minimum densities for all developed residential lands, except that a city may enforce a density to prevent the reduction of existing housing units.

Section 4 (b) A body reviewing an application or permit for residential development under this subsection may not reduce the density allowed
under the zoning of the development’s land.

This bill sets the basis for 15-minute cities. Other bills are pushing rural areas into denser core cities as the UN One World Order is pushing for population control. Portland has been labeled as a 15-minute city project.

AMENDMENT -2 increases Building Code board from 9 to 11 adding a fire protection engineer and a structural engineer.
