Abstract

This article explores the dynamics of land use planning, zoning and incorporation in Damascus, Oregon. Residents are divided on whether to remain part of the Metro system of governance, or to unincorporate, but in a recent election, voters overwhelmingly voted to reject the city's comprehensive plan. Damascus is currently exploring the process of removing Damascus from the established urban growth boundary.
