Land Use

MPNA receives notices of land use applications in or near the neighborhood that warrant a Type II or III review. Reviews are briefly discussed at monthly meetings, and occasionally MPNA might submit a comment to the Bureau of Development Services.

BNA Vision Statement

In the 1990's the City of Portland undertook a multi-year process, called the SW Community Plan, to update the zoning of SW Portland. Many neighborhoods worked on creating Neighborhood Plans which expressed the zoning and other improvements they wanted to see in their neighborhoods. Because Bridlemile split out from Bridlemile/Robert Gray neighborhood (which became Hillsdale) late in the process Bridlemile was not allowed to do a full blown Neighborhood Plan but only a Vision Statement which the BNA spent a number of meetings working on and approved.

Expanded Maintenance Options

When a group of neighbors wants to upgrade an unimproved street one way to go about it is to use Expanded Maintenance Options.

Land Use Reviews(LURs)

Current Bridlemile Land Use Reviews (LURs)
All proposal notices, hearing notices, and notices of final plat submittals are posted on the

BDS Land Use & Zoning Public Notices page

Notices are posted on the postmark date of the snail mail notice or the day after. Proposal notices are taken down on the deadline date for comment. Hearing notices are taken down on the date of the hearing. Occasionally, they will post a decision if they think it is of great interest.

Saving Trees from Ivy

Many trees in Bridlemile and SW have become infested with English Ivy whick will eventually kill these trees.

Rescuing a tree from Ivy is a simple two step process: girdling and creating a lifesaver. Girdling entails carefully cutting the ivy runners on the trees at ankle and shoulder height, and removing that section of runners from the tree without damaging the tree's life giving bark.

Other Trees

Many large, old, and beautiful trees stand proudly throughout our neighborhood. Photos by Victor von Salza.
