• Recommended Changes to the City's Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Tax Exemption Program—The City’s TOD tax exemption program provides an incentive for new multifamily and mixed-use development to support the regional light rail system and other forms of public transit. It is currently available in light rail station areas along the east-west MAX line, the Hollywood and Lents Town Centers, the Gateway Regional Center, and a portion of Northwest Portland.
  The Planning Bureau's staff proposal to the Planning Commission is to expand the TOD program boundaries to cover the Interstate and planned I-205 light rail station areas and three Main Streets with frequent bus service. Changes are also proposed to update the program’s public benefit requirements and review process.
