Staff from the city’s Noise Program and the Noise Review Board have launched a project to amend Portland’s Title 18 Noise Code. To achieve improvements with the Noise Code we need input and guidance from stakeholders, experts, the Noise Review Board and most importantly the community. To better engage with the residents of Portland, we are hosting Community Meetings and Listening Sessions around the city over the next year.
We are inviting all Community members in District 4 Neighborhoods to attend our upcoming Virtual Meeting for an open discussion about Noise and improvements to the Noise Code. City Staff from the Noise Program want to hear from you and about your experiences, thoughts, and opinions regarding the current Noise Code. Your input is vital to the success of this project.
Examples of community feedback that would be beneficial could include:
- Do you perceive noise as a significant issue in our city, and in what ways do you believe the Noise Code has succeeded or fallen short in addressing noise impacts?
- What specific measures or amendments would you suggest to better regulate and mitigate noise disturbances, ensuring a quieter and more harmonious urban environment for all residents?
- Are there specific challenges or frustrations you have encountered in complying with the Noise Code? If so, what are they, and how did they affect your experience?
Meeting Date: January 29, 2025
Time: 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm
