  • Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
    APPENDIX B4.2 – LAND USE BACKGROUND INFORMATION Existing Land Uses Existing land uses are shown on Figures B4.2‐1 to B4.2‐3, which include the ½‐mile study areas surrounding the potential stations as well as the ¼‐mile study areas on each side of the alignment alternatives. Segment A begins in the southern end of downtown Portland, the central city of the region, includes the South Waterfront District and extends south to the Hillsdale neighborhood. Existing land use here has been historically influenced and constrained by the presence of SW Barbur Boulevard (formerly a rail line) and the Willamette River, and more recently by the development of Interstates 5 and 205 (I‐5 and I‐205) as well as SW Naito Parkway. The northern portion of this segment is an extension of the central city (downtown) in its more densely developed blocks, and is similar in feel to other neighborhoods in the southern downtown area. The southern section of Segment A is dominated by auto‐oriented uses separated by parking lots and driveways. Properties on SW Barbur Boulevard are predominantly zoned for general commercial uses, and are developed with many auto‐oriented uses separated by parking lots and driveways. The zoning along SW Barbur Boulevard includes a mixture of commercial, open space and residential uses on the northern edge, transitioning to primarily multifamily and single‐family housing through the steep and wooded area, and then mostly low‐density commercial for the remainder of the corridor heading south to Tigard. Along SW Barbur Boulevard, existing land uses include auto‐oriented low‐ density commercial uses involving offices, personal services, and retail, followed by restaurants, apartments, auto‐specific uses (mechanics, tire and oil centers, body shops) and hotels.

  • Natural Areas Restoration Plan October 2010
    Natural Areas Restoration Plan October 2010 Update: March 2015 Natural Areas Restoration Plan Update March 18, 2015 Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) completed the first system wide Natural Areas Restoration Plan (plan) in October 2010. The plan was completed as a requirement for Salmon Safe certification. It established restoration goals and strategies, management priorities and implementation actions. It is currently used to set restoration priorities (staff effort and funding) for natural areas. The plan stated that there would be a review and update every 3-5 years. The 2014 update modified the functional methodology and revised the weighting to remove the emphasis on salmonids and their habitat needs. The 2014 Natural Area Management Priority Matrix changes are based on the updated natural resource function methodology and ecological health determined by the best professional judgment of the ecologist managing the site. The goals, strategies and implementation actions remain the same. This updates also includes the natural area properties purchased since 2010. Methodology Update The methodology update evaluated additional functions and created a new weighting system. The original plan weighted functions associated with salmon habitat the highest while this update does not. Some of the updated functions were assigned weighted scores on a scale of 3 (high) to 1 (low) similar to the scoring used in the 2010 plan. A natural area was also given points for Terrestrial Ecology Enhancement Strategy (TEES) special status habitats and City of Portland At-Risk Species. The functions included are: (see attached memo for details): Streams: Perennial, non-perennial and within 100 feet of the natural area.

  • 2018 RECIPROCAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM Participating Gardens, Arboreta, and Conservatories
    AMERICAN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 2018 RECIPROCAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM Participating Gardens, Arboreta, and Conservatories Program Guidelines: A current membership card from the American Horticultural Society (AHS) or a participating RAP garden entitles the visitor to special admissions privileges and/or discounts at many different types of gardens. The AHS provides the following guidelines to its members and the members of participating gardens for enjoying their RAP benefits: Call the garden you would like to visit ahead of time. Some gardens have exclusions for special events, for visitors who live within 90 miles of the garden, etc. Each garden has its own unique admissions policy, RAP benefits, and hours of operations. Calling ahead ensures that you get the most up to date information. Present your current membership card to receive the RAP benefit(s) for that garden. Each card will only admit the individual(s) whose name is listed on the card. In the case of a family, couple, or household membership card that does not list names, the garden must extend the benefit(s) to at least two of the members. Beyond this, gardens will refer to their own policies regarding household/family memberships. Some gardens may require a photo ID. The 90-mile Exclusion policy allows a garden to exclude members of gardens within 90 miles of it from receiving the RAP benefit(s). For AHS members, the exclusion is based on their home address. Please contact the garden you belong to or the garden you plan to visit to inquire about their enforcement of this policy. Remember that the gardens you visit rely on admission and donations to maintain their collections and gardens for all to enjoy.

  • A Visionary Plan for Ross Island
    EENNVVISIONISIONIINGNG RROSSOSS IISLANDSLAND Ross, Hardtack, Toe, and East Island sit smack in the middle of the Willamette River, just one mile south of the city’s downtown core. Although these islands, (which are colloquially known as Ross Island) once measured a mile and a half long by a quarter mile wide, over 75 years of sand and gravel mining have carved them into a freshwater lagoon encircled by a thin arc of upland forest. After a lifetime of resource extraction, Ross Island is an ALTERED LANDSCAPE. Rusted pilings, abandoned machines, and corroded barges are scattered everywhere, and piles of loose sand and rocks line the hulking skeleton of mining equipment. But despite the aggressive digging and the discarded parts, Ross Island teems with wildlife: great blue herons nest on the northern tip; beaver and river otter occupy the edges; deer and raccoons inhabit the upland territory; and juvenile salmon migrate through the eastern river channel. All told, these islands are a complex CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE where multiple histories, industrial ac- tivities, and wildlife habitats overlap and intertwine. Ross Island’s proximity to the heart of downtown makes it an even more compelling and important place. Although few Portlanders have actually set foot on it, the island is an ICON in our collective consciousness. Somehow we all care about it. Even those of us who don’t know much about it, or who only see it for a fl eeting moment from the highway, the bridge, or the trail.
