Impact statement
Purpose & background
The DRAC is a citizen advisory body representing those with interests in the outcome of policies, budgets, regulations, and procedures that affect development review processes. The DRAC is composed of 17 members representing different stakeholder groups, such as builders, developers, designers, and neighborhoods. Portland City Code Title 3.30.030 specifies that members of the DRAC may serve up to two 3-year terms. DRAC Member Sean Green is recommended for reappointment to his DRAC positions for a second 3-year term.
Financial impacts
This legislation reappoints a citizen volunteer to serve on the DRAC, a citizen advisory body, and will have no budgetary or long-term financial impacts for BDS or the City.
Community impacts
This legislation will benefit the development review process and the community by supporting the continued effective functioning of the DRAC. Each of the 17 members of the DRAC represents a unique stakeholder group to the development review process; making the reappointment specified in this legislation will ensure that the member’s stakeholder group will be represented. Since this legislation reappoints a current DRAC member, public notice regarding this legislation was not provided.
