Abstract:
The Goals for Central City Design Review are located within the Central City Fundamental Design
Guidelines, which are to be used in conjunction with this document. They apply within the River
District as well as to the other Central City policy areas.
An additional set of goals for the design review process augment the Central City Fundamental Goals.
These goals for design review are specific to the River District. River District Goals design goals are:
Extend the river into the community to develop a functional and symbolic relationship
with the Willamette River;
create a community of distinct neighborhoods that accommodates a significant part of
the region's residential growth;
enhance the District's character and livability by fostering attractive design and activities
that give comfort, convenience, safety and pleasure to all its residents and visitors;
strengthen connections within the River District, and to adjacent areas. [From the document]
