  • ORDINANCE NO. 187150 As Amended
    ORDINANCE NO. 187150 As Amended Accept Park System Development Charge Methodology Update Report for implementation, and amend the applicable sections of City Code (Ordinance; amend Code Chapter 17.13) The City of Portland ordains: Section 1. The Council finds: 1. Ordinance No. 172614, passed by the Council on August 19, 1998 authorized establishment of a Parks and Recreation System Development Charge(SDC) and created a new City Code Chapter 17.13. 2. In October 1998 the City established a Parks SDC program. City Code required that the program be updated every two years to ensure that program goals were being met. An update was implemented on July 1, 2005 pursuant to Ordinance No. 179008, as amended. The required update reviewed the Parks SDC Program to determine that sufficient money will be available to fund capacity-increasing facilities identified by the Parks SDC-CIP; to determine whether the adopted and indexed SDC rate has kept pace with inflation; to determine whether the Parks SDC-CIP should be modified; and to ensure that SDC receipts will not over-fund such facilities. 3. Ordinance No 175774, passed by the Council on July 12, 2001 adopted The Parks 2020 Vision. This report highlighted significant challenges confronting the City in regards to shoring up our ailing park facilities, eliminating inequity in underserved neighborhoods, and providing a stable source of funding to address not just our existing shortfalls, but to also meet the needs created by new development. The Park SDC is the most significant revenue opportunity available to Parks to address growth. It is imperative that this opportunity is maximized to recover reasonable costs from new development.

More than 35,000 people attended the two and a half-day public event, called “Under the Autumn Moon.” The festivities kicked off Friday evening , September 29, with a ribbon cutting on NW Davis Street. A full day of activities and events began Saturday, September 30, with a parade (including grand marshal Mayor Tom Potter), two non-stop music stages, food booths, cooking demonstrations, a glob- al bazaar, tours of the district, an outdoor movie and a fireworks display. Events continued on Sunday, October 1, when the Chinese Classical Garden was open for free all day. Restaurants and businesses in OTCT participated by inviting crowds in to sample foods and wares. Many of the restaurants were packed throughout the event. Many people attending were from the Chinese community, some of whom had not been in Old Town/Chinatown for years. We hope this will be the first of many such events on the new festival streets and that those who attended the Under the Autumn Moon Festival will return often. The vision for the streetscape improvements was to strengthen the identity of the historic district, foster cultural and economic diversity, and promote a vibrant pe- destrian environment for commercial, retail and residential uses.
