Residential Infill Project
(Continued from Page 1)
vising planner for the code develop-
ment team, there isn’t time to attend
the many neighborhood meetings. She
said that outreach included “drop-ins”
located in six district coalition areas
including Southwest.
“Additionally,” Wood said, “we
met with land use and transportation
chairs at each of the district coalition
offices.
“Given that we discussed the con-
cepts with community members last
year, we felt that two appearances
within the Multnomah neighborhood
provided ample opportunity for folks
to learn about the project.”
The Residential Infill Project held
a series of open houses throughout
Portland neighborhoods including
one on Oct. 30 at the Multnomah Arts
Center. Neighborhood association
members attended including Peter-
son.
“We’re fine with the scale of the
houses,” Peterson said, “but now that
lots can be 16 feet wide, we’ll likely
see more flag lots and no parking
requirements.
“Will single-family houses with
backyards for kids, gardens, and
open space be a thing of the past in
Portland?” Peterson asked.
Wood sees it differently.
“Single-family houses will continue
to be a predominant housing type
into the future,” she said. “Roughly
56 percent of existing houses in Port-
land are detached houses.
“The addition of ADUs (acces-

sociation, discusses her viewpoints with

Project open house.

sory dwelling units), duplexes, and
triplexes will not only provide back-
yards, gardens, and open space like
their single-unit counterparts,” Wood
said, “but will do so for more people
who might otherwise only be able to
live in an apartment.
Peterson responded by saying
nothing in the code requires acces-
sory dwelling units to be affordable
or to prevent them from being vaca-
tion rentals.
“It is unclear why 100,000 pieces
of property in the city are having
the definitions of their base zone
changed when the redevelopment of
The Southwest Portland Post • 3
R2.5 corner lot and ADUs have been
significantly less than the planners
expect,” Peterson said.
He asked if the city radically al-
lows more capacity, does it stimulate
the development of the past failed
policies, or does it end up destroying
what people value the most?
The city acknowledges that the
average household size is shrinking.
A century ago, there were on average
4.5 people living in a house.
“Today, that number is around 2.5
and is projected to drop to 2.1 over
the next 20 years,” Wood said. “The
city gathered this data from a special
report compiled by the Census Bu-
reau in 2002.”
Future demographic projections
regarding household composition
were developed as part of the com-
prehensive plan work.
According to city documents, the
Residential Infill Project allows the
number of accessory dwelling units,
from the current one per property,
to either two unaffordable ADUs, or
four affordable ADUs per property.
Triplexes can be allowed on corner
lots.
“This project does not affect proper-
ties in multi-dwelling zones or resi-
dential development in commercial/
mixed-use zones,” Wood said.
“There are a number of issues that
fall outside the scope of this project
including changes to community
design standards, rules for afford-
able housing, demolition, historic
preservation, and movable homes
(tiny houses on wheels).”

tainability is exploring changing the
current threshold for deconstruction
requirements. This would increase
the number of homes that would be
deconstructed and salvaged instead
of being demolished.
An upcoming historic resourc-
es code improvement project will
amend procedures and regulations
that protect designated historic re-
sources and propose new options for
creating local historic and conserva-
tion districts.
According to Julia Gisler, public
involvement coordinator, staff is cur-
rently reading and categorizing all
the comments received and prepar-
ing a summary report.
“Look for the ‘What We Heard’
summary report on the project web-
site by mid-January,” Gisler said. “In
addition to this report, all the com-
ments in their entirety will be posted
on the project website.”
Comments will guide staff as they
make refinements to the discussion
draft proposals and develop a pro-
posed draft for the Planning and Sus-
tainability Commission to consider
next spring.
“The Commission will make rec-
ommendations to the City Council,”
Gisler said. “Public hearings will then
be held and then voted on to adopt
the final package of map and code
amendments.”
