All Rights Reserved 1223 SW Washington St., Suite 200 Portland, OR 97205 TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 4 Background 7 Beyond the Portland Pilot 10 Pilot Evaluations 11 South of Market 12 South Waterfront 22 Foster-Green (Lents) 32 Gateway 44 Lloyd 52 Lessons Learned 60 Appendix 64 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Through the support of the Bullitt Foundation, EcoDistricts undertook an evaluation of the Portland Ecodistrict Pilot program, a three-year partnership between the City of Portland, Portland Development Commission (PDC) and Portland Sustainability Institute (PoSI) to accelerate sustainable neighborhood-scale projects in five districts throughout Portland between 2009 and 2012. The City selected the five following districts to participate in the program in order to promote sustainability across a diverse set of neighborhood “typologies”: • Portland State University - South of Market Ecodistrict (“SoMa”) • North Macadam Urban Renewal Area - South Waterfront Ecodistrict • Lents Urban Renewal Area - Foster-Green Ecodistrict • Gateway Urban Renewal Area - Gateway Ecodistrict • Lloyd District - Lloyd Ecodistrict This evaluation is one element of a four-part Bullitt funded project to more deeply understand best practices for district and neighborhood sustainable development in the region. The four elements are: Portland Pilot program evaluation; analysis of neighborhood sustainability projects in the Cascadia Region; update of the EcoDistricts Protocol; and a technical guide for green infrastructure and ecosystem services. All four elements of this project have been designed to inform the development of the Global EcoDistricts Protocol and other EcoDistricts-initiated programs intended to accelerate district-scale sustainable development in the region and beyond.

This transition was more than just a change of name. It indicated a maturing of the organization and an intention to be a stronger and more capable part- ner to the park’s owner and operator, Portland Parks & Recreation. It sig- naled a readiness for greater conservation leadership. The new identity brought with it new questions. Where do we stand in our efforts to restore and protect Forest Park? What is our ultimate vision for the park’s ecological health? Are we on course to achieve that vision and if not, how should we respond? How do we best engage residents of the Portland region with the park’s future? What is our responsibility not just to the park but to the greater landscape with which the park is so deeply intertwined? If the Forest Park Conservancy was to live up to its new name, it needed to find its footing among these fundamental questions.

  • Appendix E: the City's Natural Environment
    APPENDIX E The City’s Natural Environment APPENDIX E The City’s Natural Environment The City’s Environmental Setting General Characteristics Portland is situated at 20 feet above sea level, near the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette rivers, about 65 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. It lies midway between the lower Coast Range to the west and the high Cascades Range to the east, each about 30 miles distant. Portland’s varied topography includes steep hills, isolated volcanic cones, low rolling hills and extensive flat areas. The area is composed primarily of alluvial deposits and Columbia River basalts. Much of the city is located in the Willamette Valley Plains ecoregion, although steeper portions of the Tualatin Hills on the west side are characteristic of Willamette Valley Hills and Coastal Mountains ecoregions (Clarke and others 1991). Portland has a mild marine climate that is heavily influenced by the mountain ranges east and west of the city. The Coast Range protects the Portland area from Pacific storms, while the Cascades prevent colder continental air masses from invading western Oregon. In winter, the average temperature is 40°F and the average minimum temperature is 34°F. In summer the average temperature is 65°F with an average daily maximum of 74 to 78°F (Rockey 2002). The Cascades also lift moisture-laden westerly winds from the Pacific, driving local rainfall patterns. Average annual rainfall in the Portland area is approximately 37 inches. Nearly 90 percent of the annual rainfall occurs from October through May. Only 9 percent of the annual rainfall occurs between June and September, with 3 percent in July and August.
