Land Use Chair, 2025 SW Broadleaf Dr., Portland OR 97219 Don Blackburn, 10806 SW 4th Ave., Portland OR 97219 Michael Ford, Associate Vice President, Lewis & Clark College, 0615 SW Palatine Hill Rd., Portland OR 97219 Proposal: Lewis and Clark College/Applicant (“College”) wishes to update its current Master Plan, which was reviewed and approved in 1998 and amended since that time. Specifically, the Master Plan was amended to include the addition and site planning of the South Campus and sports field lighting at Griswold Stadium. Many approved projects have not been implemented at this time, but remain relevant and planned for eventual completion. This Master Plan update, which will guide changes over the next ten years, includes previously approved projects as well as the following: • Master Plan Boundary Expansion: Expand the existing master plan boundary on the west side of SW Boones Ferry Rd. (4.39 acres). • Law Student Housing, 168 unit project: Develop, within the 4.39 acres expansion site, housing for law and graduate students. • Performing Arts Building: Rather than construct new larger buildings as previously approved, expand existing Evans Music by 65,400 sq. ft and Fir Acres Theatre by 37,940 sq. ft. • Olin Science Addition and Science Building Expansion: Demolish existing Biology/Psychology and Bodine buildings to construct new 137,000 sq. ft. facility. • Campus Center: Demolish Akin Hall, replace with 96,000 sq. ft. campus center—a student activity center adjacent to SW Palatine Hill Rd. • Templeton Building: Renovate and expand for administrative functions, meeting rooms, classrooms, or undergraduate housing. • On-Campus Undergraduate Housing: The previous Master Plan approved proposal to replace existing residence halls with new larger buildings. The current proposal specifies the number and size of residential buildings. The new residential buildings will house 1,500 students, an increase of 250 beds from current inventory. The College is also requesting changes to conditions of the approved Master Plan, as follows: • Griswold Stadium: Amend previous conditions of approval to: (1) Impose limit of seven major public evening events per year only on events with anticipated or actual attendance of 1,000 or more (participants and spectators); Smaller evening events, including football games, would not be subject to that limit. (2) Remove requirement of routine sound monitoring for events held after 7:30 p.m. (3) Extend lighting restriction from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. (4) Extend game ending time from 9:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Sunday –Thursday, and 9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. (5) Modify the event and lighting schedule consistent with Exhibit A.24. • Huston Field: Install field lighting and public address (PA) system, similar to those at Griswold. Construct grandstands, dugouts, batting cage, scoreboard and accessory structures. Decision of the Hearings Officer LU 08-180498 CU MS (HO 4090017) Page 5 The field will be used only for College-sponsored activities - baseball, softball, soccer and intramural sports as well as Riverdale High School games and practices. Adding lighting and a PA system requires the removal of previous conditions of approval. • Conditions Q & T (LUR 97-00074 CU MS): Amend conditions Q (TDMP reporting requirements) and T (parking supply/ratio). Condition Q would be modified to allow Lewis and Clark to provide Transportation Demand Management Plan (TDMP) reports on a three-year cycle.
