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.

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.

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.

Portland : Area 93 (Bonny Slope West) existing conditions, opportunities and constraints report
(City of Portland (Or.), 2008-12) ECO Northwest, Ltd.; Sisul Engineering; Portland (Or.); Portland (Or.). Bureau of Planning; Winterbrook Planning (Firm); Nevue Ngan Associates; Multnomah County (Or.)
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the existing conditions, opportunities and constraints within a 160-acre site known as Area 93, Bonny Slope West. Area 93 is generally bounded by NW Thompson Road to the south, NW Laidlaw Road to the north and east, and NW 125th Avenue to the west (see Figures 1 and 2). It is located in unincorporated Multnomah County, bordering unincorporated Washington County to the west and south. The review of existing conditions focuses on natural features, parks and open space, and infrastructure. The report provides a preliminary buildable lands and market analysis, and an economic perspective on the likely and possible development/ redevelopment of the area. The City of Portland, through an interagency agreement with Multnomah County, will undertake a planning process to develop a concept for the eventual urbanization of the area. The concept planning process is expected to be completed in 2010. This report is part of the first phase of the concept planning process. [From the document]

Portland : Asset status and conditions report
(City of Portland (Or.), 2008-02-21) Portland (Or.); Portland (Or.). Bureau of Planning; Portland (Or.). City Asset Managers Group
The report responds directly to a key Council focus area: to rebuild and maintain the City’s infrastructure. A properly maintained and sound infrastructure is critical to delivering the quality services Portland’s citizens and businesses need and expect. The report spells out the significant funding gap and work needed to address this significant issue. In 2005, CAMG added common definitions, data confidence levels and bureau observations, for clarity and transparency on the quality and completeness of the data. In 2006, CAMG added affordable housing as an asset category (the sixth category). The 2007 report has two new features: appendices on risk rating and green infrastructure. There are three levels of asset management. In past years, the focus was on maintaining the deteriorating infrastructure. This (2007) report extends the reach into mandates. With the Portland Plan, the extent will also cover infrastructure needed to serve new growth. [From the document memo]
