Central City Plan District (33.510) Downtown Subdistrict, West End Subarea (Map 510-1) Type A Site (Map 510-14) The site is located within the West End subarea of the Downtown subdistrict of the Central City plan district. The West End subarea is intended to promote high-density residential development through a mandate that 50% of created floorspace for a full block project will be in residential use, with the minimum RX residential density requirement met (one unit per 500 sq ft of site area). The remainder of the floorspace is regulated as a Type A site, allowing for use discretion, including use as open space. The residential use mandate does not apply to projects covering less than a full block (33.510.118). Transfer of floor area across rights-of-way are prohibited in the Downtown subdistrict, precluding the transfer of floorspace to adjoining half-blocks for the creation of a full-block plaza (33.510.199). These restrictions may force a Planned Unit Development in order to pursue a more creative site design.
Goose Hollow District Design Guidelines Although no longer an official document used by the City of Portland, we feel it is important to keep in mind the urban design vision and goals as described in the 1996 Goose Hollow District Design Guidelines. Such as the following: A5-6 | Incorporate works of art or other special design features that increase the public enjoyment of the District A8 | Contribute to the cityscape, the stage and the action B1 | Reinforce and enhance the pedestrian system B5 | Make plazas, parks, and open spaces successful C1 | Respect architectural integrity
