Public Works 101:When Private Development Triggers Public Improvements
Wednesday, October 2, 2019 from Noon - 1 p.m. (Registration is not required)
Bureau of Development Services at Jacobs Center Lincoln Room (1st Floor)
2020 SW 4th Ave • Portland, OR, 97201
Bring your own lunch!
Private development projects can trigger public infrastructure improvements to provide water services, storm and sanitary drainage facilities and transportation improvements for the benefit of the public. These projects are designed, funded, and constructed by the private developer, and upon completion and acceptance by the city, the facilities become public assets.
The presentation will answer questions such as:
- What project types can trigger public infrastructure improvements?
- Do tenant improvement projects trigger public improvements?
- Types of public improvements that can be triggered.
- How do I get more information, before buying a property or starting a development project?
- “What Kind of Permit Do I Need?” And, where can I find more information online?

Help make our transportation system more efficient, sustainable and equitable:
Apply to join our new Pricing for Equitable Mobility Community Task Force
|
|
The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is
now accepting applications
for its new Pricing for Equitable Mobility Community Task Force. The Task Force will advise PBOT and the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS) as they consider how new pricing strategies could potentially help to improve mobility, reduce carbon emissions and increase equity in our transportation system.
As Portland faces growing challenges related to congestion, inequities in our transportation system and a rapidly changing climate, we are considering new strategies to solve these problems. Cities around the world have demonstrated that pricing policies can help reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips and can support more efficient, sustainable and equitable transportation modes. The Task Force will play an important role in helping PBOT and BPS to explore if and how pricing strategies could potentially be used in Portland to advance our values. More information on the Task Force charge can be viewed

Neighborhood Contact Code Project
|
|
Neighborhood contact requirements were first introduced in Portland with the Albina Community Plan in 1993. Since then they've been expanded and applied to more areas of Portland. The intent of the Neighborhood Contact requirement is to provide an information sharing opportunity between the applicant or representative of a development proposal and the people who live, work and pass by the site on a regular basis - to better allow neighbors to give constructive feedback about certain development proposals.
In May 2019, Portland City Council adopted the Neighborhood Contact Code Update Project so that neighborhood contact requirements would be applied more consistently across Portland. The new Neighborhood Contact requirements result in some projects notifying of potential development with a sign on site and notice, with larger projects also holding an informational meeting.
The primary changes to Neighborhood Contact requirements involve:
- Delivery method - Now applicants can use email or standard mail to notify neighborhood associations, district neighborhood coalitions, business associations, and sometimes school districts, of an upcoming building permit or land use review application.
- Burden of Responsibility - The current version places responsibility on the neighborhood association to host a meeting. The new version places responsibility on the applicant when an informational meeting is required.
- Notification - There is a new requirement that applicants install a sign or signs on a property notifying neighbors of an upcoming development proposal before an application is submitted to the City. The Bureau of Development Services also has a new online tool for those want to know about larger development proposals ahead of time.

191 new affordable homes coming to the Cully Neighborhood!
|
|
Living Cully partner organizations Hacienda CDC and Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA) receive $23.7 million to build homes at the former Sugar Shack site on Killingsworth and at Prescott & Cully.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler announced on Tuesday that two separate affordable housing proposals in the Cully neighborhood will receive funds from Portland’s Affordable Housing Bond, which was approved by voters in 2016. Combined, these projects will create 191 new homes that will be permanently affordable to low-income households, ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments.
Seven additional housing projects in other Portland neighborhoods also received funding on Tuesday, bringing the total number of new affordable homes created by the 2016 bond fund to 1,424.

Code Change Update from Commissioner Chloe Eudaly
Yesterday, Commissioner Chloe Eudaly announced that she has decided to present the proposed code changes as a report on November 14. She indicated that this will allow Council more time to consider the facts and have a public conversation before taking it to a vote on the final package. "In making this announcement, I want to be very clear that I intend to see these policy changes through to completion in a timely manner. The changes proposed by Committee 3.96 reflect a trans-formative vision for the City’s approach to civic engagement and deserve fair consideration. We can no longer claim to believe in equity but refuse to update the code accordingly. However, heartfelt questions and concerns have been raised about what the new system may look like and how it will work—and I want to be able to answer them before advancing these changes."
