February Land Use and Transportation Meeting

Hello Sunnyside,

Please join us at the upcoming Land Use and Transportation meeting on Monday February 10th at 7:30PM in the Southeast Uplift building (3534 SE Main St).

A City Water Bureau representative will discuss the impact on Mount Tabor park and adjacent streets when the reservoirs are disconnected from the water system beginning in early 2015.  The public has an opportunity to comment on the historic resource and environmental land use review underway by the City’s Bureau of Development Services.  The future use of the Mount Tabor reservoirs will be a separate public process.

The other item on the agenda is a discussion of the City’s zoning regulations being updated to expand housing choices in residential zones as part of the Regulatory Improvement Code Amendment Projects 7 (RICAP).  RICAP addresses technical matters and clarifications or refinement of existing adopted policy in typically a one-year revolving work plan.

October Land Use and Transportation Meeting

Hello Sunnyside,

The upcoming Land Use and Transportation (LUT) meeting, October 14th at 7:30PM (at Southeast Uplift) is one you might want to put on your calendar.

We have requested the developer for the proposed project at 700 SE Cesar Chavez Blvd to follow up on their LUT briefing from last May during the first half hour of the October meeting.  David Mullens of Urban Development Group is proposing a 3 story project on SE Cesar Chavez which will include on-site parking.  Details reported earlier this year call for 108 units (16 Studio, 74 One Bedroom, and 18 Two Bedroom units) and 40 on site parking spaces.

The second half hour of the October meeting will involve a discussion of land use and transportation aspirations as a lead into the October 17th “neighborhood visioning” event at the Mazamas Mountaineering Center, located at 417 SE 43rd, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
