    2016 IFEA Pinnacle Awards Category: #45 - Best Green Program Entry: Cleanest & Greenest Festival www.RoseFestival.org 2016 IFEA Pinnacle Awards DIVISION: Festival & Event Critical Component CATEGORY: #45 ‐ Best Green Program ENTRY: Cleanest & Greenest Festival 1. Overview Information a. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF MAIN EVENT The Portland Rose Festival is a 109‐year tradition making memories for locals and visitors alike each year. The mission of the Portland Rose Festival Foundation is to serve families and individuals with programs and events that promote the arts, education and volunteerism. We value environmental responsibility, diversity, patriotism and our historic and floral heritage. The Foundation has been bringing the community together to celebrate the City of Roses for over a century. As a 501(c)3 non‐profit foundation, the Rose Festival relies on individual and corporate donors to help fund events and programs that support our mission. The Rose Festival’s main events include the electrifying nighttime Starlight Parade, the all‐floral traditional Spirit Mountain Casino Grand Floral Parade, a children’s parade – the Fred Meyer Junior Parade – and CityFair, an urban three‐week fair that features carnival rides, food and concerts for fans of all ages. Environmental responsibility is a well‐known and celebrated tradition in Portland. As Portland’s Official Festival, the Rose Festival has a responsibility to the community to implement green initiatives in all of the events. For 20 years, the Cleanest & Greenest program has provided cleanups after all three parades, as well as environmental and recycling programs at CityFair. All of the Clean & Green Team’s efforts have the objective of keeping Portland’s streets and parks looking their best for everyone to enjoy.

Events bring community members together and draw tourists into the City. The focus of this review is the Special Events Program within the Revenue Bureau’s Regulatory Division, which administers permits for moving special events on city streets. This review was conducted during the summer of 2008 and was limited to assessing the current special events policies of the City, comparing the City’s cost recovery model with other jurisdictions, researching the economic impact of special events on local communities, and developing policy recommendations. The Revenue Bureau seeks a policy that strikes a balance between cost recovery and city subsidies for public services as outlined in comprehensive financial management policy FIN-2.06. Special events on city streets involve political groups, neighborhood groups, nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, and professional event planners and promoters who obtain permits to use public streets.

For the rest, this visit to Portland will zoom by like a thrilling, and fatiguing, long weekend, with too much to see and too little time to see it all. You can, however, still savor the best of Portland’s local treats with an hour here, a couple hours there, or that rare free evening (in July, spicy but not heat-hot) or morning (cool and sweet), even if you’re a short-term, fly-in and fly-out visitor. It is for you, the quick- trippers, for whom I write about Portland “in small bites.” Here you don’t need a 12-course, six-hour meal to dine upon the city’s warm and nourishing fare. 1 AALLSpectrum_Apr2008:AALLSpectrum_Nov 3/17/08 11:20 AM Page 27 rtland in small bites by Laura J.

  • Univ of Oregon in Portland | Richard H
    Portland, Oregon West Waterfront Urban Design Proposal | Univ of Oregon in Portland | Richard H. Wilson | www.rhwdesigns.com Pg. 1 1 | Page | ARCH 535 - Implementation | 2014/Jan-Mar Richard H. Wilson - www.rhwdesigns.com Abstract This is an urban design proposal for the Portland, Oregon West Waterfront Blocks bound by SW Yamhill St, SW 3rd Ave, and NW Couch St in Portland, Oregon. The over-arching proposal here is to introduce higher density near the waterfront, and to propose incentives that may help preserve historic buildings. Specifically, the incentives involve added Floor Area Ratios (FAR) to development properties for taking advantage of certain existing site amenities and design guides. Additionally, for preserving historic buildings (or buildings of substantial age and/or cultural/historic value) a transfer of allowable building FAR may take place. As a baseline, the existing FAR allowance within the study area is 4:1, and the height restriction is 75ft. These existing restrictions would still be in place. However with added incentives such as TDRs, the allowable FAR and max height would be given the right to increase. As much as a total of FAR 9:1 may be achieved with the right mix of incentives. The following memorandum will further propose how these steps may be taken, and should be viewed in conjunction with the accompanying Portland, Oregon West Waterfront Urban Design Proposal document. Phasing Immediate Phasing (within 5-years) Allowance for FAR transfer of development rights (TDR) 1. +2 FAR for Stepped Building Façade (façade to match adjacent buildings) 2. +1 FAR for Below-Grade (or concealed) Parking 3.
