Site: 6000 NE 80th Ave
Owner: Northwest Regional Re-Entry Center, Natalie Wright
Decision Rendered: Dec 31, 2025

Portland Permitting & Development completed a land use review process and approved an expansion for a post-incarceration facility in Cully. Cully Association of Neighbors did not comment on the decision.

­

The Northwest Regional Re-Entry Center is an existing post-incarceration facility operating as a Conditional Use on this site since approval in 2002.

The applicant proposes to add a 2-story, 6,500-sf addition to the rear of the existing facility approximately 40-ft from the north and east property lines to increase the capacity to 180-beds.

The land use decision is not an approval for a building permit. The applicant must complete the final building permit process before starting construction.
