Dispersal of new multi-dwelling housing development will be encouraged throughout the city in areas designated for residential and mixed-use development to encourage a variety of housing types throughout the community and to avoid an undue concentration of multi-dwelling development in specific areas of the community leading to a segregation of multi-dwelling development in McMinnville from residential neighborhoods. Dispersal policies will be consistent with the Great Neighborhood Principles.

In areas where there are the amenities, services, infrastructure and public facilities to support a higher density of multi-dwelling development, and the area is commensurate with a higher concentration of multi-dwelling development without creating an unintended segregation of multi-dwelling development, such as McMinnville’s downtown, the area surrounding Linfield University and neighborhood activity centers, a higher concentration of multi-dwelling development will be encouraged.
