[From the document]Item Open Access Portland : "Shared court" housing -- concept summary(City of Portland (Or.), 2006-01-20) Portland (Or.). Bureau of Planning; Portland (Or.)Issues Addressed: allowing residential lots to front onto a shared court street tract provides additional homeownership opportunities for small infill sites zoned for higher density development. Such sites are often too small for condominium arrangements to be feasible, but sometimes are subject to density requirements or have site constraints that make rowhouses and common green arrangements impractical (many builders and architects avoid small-scale condominium projects because of liability issues and prefer fee-simple arrangements with each unit on a separate lot); provides for a larger pedestrian-oriented area than a conventional street with sidewalk arrangements, since rowhouse-type projects at R1 and higher densities typically have sidewalks interrupted by frequent driveways; allows for efficient use of limited site area; preserves on-street parking and allows a more pedestrian-friendly public street frontage by allowing a single access point, rather than the multiple curb cuts common with rowhouses; by providing an alternative to the usual requirements for roadway-plus-sidewalks, allows for less impervious surface, thus contributing to minimizing stormwater impacts and urban heat island effects; if pervious pavers are used, could allow for additional stormwater management strategies.

Bureau of PlanningThe 122nd Avenue Station Area Study: Implementation Amendments contains City Council adopted amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, Comprehensive Plan Map, Zoning Map, Zoning Code, and Community Design Guidelines for the area near the 122nd Avenue MAX light rail station.

[From the document]Item Open Access Portland : 82nd Avenue commercial corridor retail market analysis(City of Portland (Or.), 2007-01) Portland (Or.). Bureau of Planning; Portland (Or.)In conducting this study, specific trade areas were defined. The Corridor's neighborhood (1-mile) and community (3-mile) trade areas, drawn as concentric circles originating from its center point at the intersection of SE 82nd Avenue and Mill Street, were selected based upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, recent redevelopment, population demographics, business association activity and geographic proximity to other major malls and retail centers that are likely to compete with Corridor businesses for customers. While retail and commercial service businesses along the Corridor serve customers beyond the trade areas selected for this study, the majority of customers are presumed to originate from within a 3-mile area given the predominance of small businesses and neighborhood retailers along the Corridor. The sales gap analysis will identify gaps in the existing business mix for the neighborhood and community trade areas and identify industries where there is a surplus of goods and services.

A comprehensive district action plan provides a policy framework and long-term certainty to those who own property or that may wish to invest in Albina. A comprehensive plan also recognizes the interrelationship between land use, transportation, environmental, educational, public safety, social and family issues and how each must be addressed in order for others to succeed. [From the Plan]Item Open Access Portland : Amendments to the Cascade Station/Portland International Center plan district(City of Portland (Or.), 2005-02-17) Portland (Or.). Bureau of Planning; Portland (Or.)The CS/PIC Plan District, adopted by City Council in February 1999, provided for the construction of the light rail extension, the two station areas, and an elaborate system of Park Blocks and infrastructure. The plan district also specified the amount of retail, office, hotel, and entertainment uses allowed in the development. The light rail line, stations, and Park Blocks have been constructed. However, no other development has occurred in Subdistrict A, and some light industrial development has taken place in Subdistrict B. The lack of development has led the CSDC and PDC to rethink the development program for the site. The revisions to the plan district are intended to allow for a new mix of uses and size of use that the site's developers believe are more feasible given the foreseeable market for the site. The revisions are also intended to require that the development take place in a way that accomplishes the essence of the original vision for CS/PIC especially in terms of design, support for transit, and economic benefit.
