Legislative History of the Multnomah County Zoning Ordinance
Multnomah County first adopted zoning regulations on May 26, 1953, on an interim basis. A permanent ordinance was enacted for the North-Central portion of the County on April 19, 1955, and successive geographic areas were added until the entire unincorporated County had permanent zoning on December 11, 1958. (Interim regulations, adopted August 15, 1955, applied to those areas awaiting permanent zoning). On November 15, 1962, the permanent zoning ordinance was re-enacted for the entire unincorporated County as Ordinance No. 100. Ordinance No. 100 underwent several amendments over the years, the last of which was its codification as Chapter 11.15 of the Multnomah County Code on March 23, 1982 through Ordinance No. 300.
