Land Use Planning and Neighborhood Districts
Neighborhood Districts play a significant role in informing the community about land use planning in Bend. The Oregon State Land Use System can be complicated – Neighborhood Districts play their part by letting their fellow neighbors know when certain projects are being proposed to be built.
Learn About: Land Use
Land use refers to how a property is used and what types of buildings, development, or activities happen on it. Planning for land use at the city level involves many related factors, which can make it a detailed and sometimes challenging process.
Neighborhood Public Meetings
A neighborhood public meeting is required by the City of Bend for certain proposed development projects, depending on the application type. These meetings take place between the project developer and the Neighborhood District that may be affected by the proposal.

Neighborhood Public Meeting Instructions for Developers
If you are planning a Neighborhood Public Meeting, please send your meeting notices directly to the Land Use Chair of the Neighborhood District where the development is located. Development not located in a Neighborhood District? Need help with contact information?
