DCIP-5: INSTITUTIONAL MASTER PLANS
The City of Gresham would like your help in developing a process for institutional uses to seek approval of long-term master plans. The current Development Code does not allow approval of long-range plans. Instead, each development on an institutional campus (such as a hospital or college) is reviewed separately.
The public is invited to attend this community forum to review the draft approach to allowing master plan approvals.

A free Songbird Identification class April 5 at City Hall will teach participants how to identify the most common songbirds found during peak birding months. James Davis, birding expert from Metro, will lead the class. Slides, sounds and specimens will be used to prepare birders for the bird-filled spring and summer months
Songbirds found in Oregon are not only beautiful to look at and listen to, but they can also tell us about the health of our environment. They are often travelers, coming from sometimes thousands of miles away to take advantage of our rich local environment.
