BPS – Kevin & Nicholas

The Central City Code Amendments project (CCCAP) is adapting the 2035 Central City plan, initially adopted in 2018, to post-COVID realities. 

Encouraging housing is an overarching goal. One specific goal is to migrate some industrial zoning to general employment and mixed use, including the Lower Albina region. Another is to increase the number of streets where ground floor dwellings are allowed. 

Economic recovery is another overarching goal. Use allowances would allow manufacturing, production, and small warehouses in CX zones, as well as retail in the Central Eastside.New surface parking areas may also be opened up on ODOT property and for five years on sites slated for future development. Consolidation and simplification of zoning regs for food carts, no longer classified as vehicles requiring parking spaces. Stretch consideration: all retail, not food carts.

Increased building heights and floor area ratios (FAR) with consideration of viewsheds, are being considered for both housing and recovery.

Allan asked if ground floor retail could be rented out for residential purposes. Nicholas confirmed that it already can be.

LUTC Meeting Schedule

Agreed to new schedule: 2nd Wednesday of the month
