| dc.description.abstract | This is an urban design proposal for the Portland, Oregon West Waterfront Blocks bound by SW Yamhill St, SW 3rd Ave, and NW Couch St in Portland, Oregon. The over-arching proposal here is to introduce higher density near the waterfront, and to propose incentives that may help preserve historic buildings. Specifically, the incentives involve added Floor Area Ratios (FAR) to development properties for taking advantage of certain existing site amenities and design guides. Additionally, for preserving historic buildings (or buildings of substantial age and/or cultural/historic value) a transfer of allowable building FAR may take place. | en_US |
