Portland's Historic Landmarks Commission State of the City Preservation Report 2014 PORTLAND HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION July 2014 STATE OF THE CITY PRESERVATION REPORT 2014 | PORTLAND HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION Message from the Chair We are pleased to present our annual report from the Portland Historic Landmarks Commission. Our City is blessed with a rich history that chronicles the growth of a frontier town into one of the most livable urban centers in the nation. Our incredible growth at the turn of the 19th century, resulted in a dense historic fabric driven by the ‘hub and spoke’ street car development. Today, we continue to be national leaders in public Current Commissioners transportation, and what were once small town where the old streetcars stopped, Brian Emerick, Chair, Architect are now the commercial centers of our many neighborhoods. This rich fabric links Jessica Engeman, Vice-chair, our magnificent natural setting, cultural diversity and complex history together into Historian (Developer) the Portland we love. Our commission is charged with guiding and protecting our Harris Matarazzo, Law collective interest in preserving our history. Paul Solimano, Archaeology Carin Carlson, Public At Large C.E.S. Wood’s timeless quote on our oldest public art piece, the Skidmore Fountain, (Preservation Architect) reads ‘Good Citizens are the Riches of a City’. A century and a half later, I am proud Kirk Ranzetta, Architectural Historian to say that core value is still going strong on our Landmarks Commission. We have Caroline Dao, Public At Large an incredible dedicated body of professionals, who volunteer countless hours at (Neighborhood Advocate) the highest level to help us carry out our City’s mission in preservation. Our panel includes, Architects, Developers, Historians, Lawyers, Archaeologists, and Informed Citizens. We share a passion for working toward the collective good and leaving this place we love better than we found it. In that, we share in the efforts of not only our other inspired citizens, but of the tradition of those who went before us to make this such a special place we all call home. We ask for Council’s continued support in helping us to carry forward our mission. Brian Emerick, AIA Chair of the Portland Historic Landmarks Commission 1 STATE OF THE CITY PRESERVATION REPORT 2014 | PORTLAND HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION Accomplishments 2035 PLAN AND WEST QUADRANT PLANNING EFFORT. For the past year the 2013 at a glance Landmarks Commission has been heavily involved in the 2035 Portland Plan update. Specifically we have focused on the West 15 public hearings: Quadrant Plan, where our densest collection of historic districts 6 Type III Cases reviewed exists including the Skidmore Old Town, Chinatown, Yamhill, 2 Type II Appeals reviewed 13th Avenue, and Alphabet Historic Districts. Outside of these 3 Design Advice Requests district boundaries are many more historic properties, including the West End, which has a fantastic collection of unprotected 6 National Register nominations resources. Our Chair has served on the West Quadrant Strategic 8 briefings provided by City bureaus - including Planning and Sustainability and Advisory Committee helping to provide thoughtful guidance as Portland Water Bureau the plan moves forward, working with both City Planners and the greater group. Additionally, we have met with City Planners to staff level reviews: provide input on the newer Southeast Quadrant plan, which is now underway. Two important takeaways from working on this 56 Type I Cases reviewed (effective May 1, 2013) process have been first, we need to update our historic property 46 Type II Cases reviewed inventory, which primarily dates to the 1980’s, so that we know what resources we have. Second, we do not have updated design guidelines, or in some cases, any guidelines at all, in even our 2 Commission/staff retreats most important historic districts. We will talk more about these Quarterly Chair meetings with the Design Commission and Planning and points under our priorities for the upcoming year. Sustainability Commission Compatible Additions/Infill Training Session HISTORIC RESOURCE CODE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND NEW TYPE 1— with the State Historic Preservation Office IT’S WORKING! Last year, our address to Council included the celebration of the recent passage of the new Type I Historic Review process for minor alterations in historic districts. This was a multi-year effort between Landmarks, BPS, BDS, the community, and City Council to help streamline review and minimize fees levied on our citizen stewards of historic resources. It is with pleasure that we can report the program has been a great success. In the first year of adoption, 87 cases were reviewed 140 120 Type 1/2 Reviews* 100 Type 3 Reviews 80 60 40 20 Historic Design Review cases over the past five years. The introduction of the new Type I, as well as new 0 exemptions impacted the number of cases in 2013. 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 * Type 1 cases were introduced in 2013. Prior years are all Type 2. 2 STATE OF THE CITY PRESERVATION REPORT 2014 | PORTLAND HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION under this new process, saving more than $87,000 in homeowner fees and allowing staff to be more efficient with their time and resources. SUCCESSFUL COLLABORATION WITH PUBLIC AGENCIES. We commend the agencies that have engaged in the collaborative process we seek for all publicly-owned historic resources. Agencies such as the Portland Water Bureau have taken full advantage of progress briefings and collaborative design discussions early and throughout their planning phases, which we hope have been positive experiences. We welcome continued collaboration with these agencies, and encourage others to view the Commission and the public forum we provide as integral to their public process and utilize our expertise to benefit their projects. CLG GRANT FUNDS CHIPPING AWAY AT UPDATING THE HRI. In collaboration with Bureau of Planning and Sustainability staff, we have been putting our limited Certified Local Government (CLG) grant funds to work, most recently focusing on a survey of unreinforced masonry buildings on the east side. See the upcoming year’s priorities for further details. Preservation Highlight Northwest Neighborhood Cultural Center NW 18th Ave and Everett St The Northwest Neighborhood Cultural Center was designed by S.S. Berman, built in 1909 and was the first Church of Christ, Scientist built west of the Mississippi. Occupying the building since 1993, the Northwest Children’s Theater & School (NWCT) is wholly committed to sustaining and expanding its programming and keeping the Cultural Center available to the community. Working in partnership with the building’s owners, NWCT is leading, managing and fund-raising for a series of Capital Reinvestment projects, Fire Marshall upgrades and interior and exterior rehabilitation projects. To date work has included interior improvements, mechanical and fire / life-safety upgrades, and chimney repair and replacement. Current efforts include an exterior envelope assessment with recommendations outlining a path forward for repairs and maintenance. ADA upgrades to the parking lot and building interior are in the planning stage. 3 STATE OF THE CITY PRESERVATION REPORT 2014 | PORTLAND HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION 2014 Priorities & Goals PRIORITY 1 - DESIGN GUIDELINES Portland has fifteen designated historic districts – most of which have design guidelines that are outdated or no guidelines at all. Investing a modest amount in the vision we want to achieve is of paramount importance and will provide greater certainty for developers who will be coming before the Landmarks Commission with proposed projects in these districts. Minimizing risk is a key component of incentivizing protection and revitalization of our historic resources and encouraging the kind of development the City wants to see. Skidmore Old Town - We have already invested a great deal in creating a benchmark set of guidelines for our most important historic district to be used as a template for those to follow. Unfortunately, these have been sitting on the planning shelf since 2008 waiting for adoption. The West Quadrant Plan is calling for those to be polished and implemented as an action plan in the next year. We would ask for Council’s support when those come forward. New Chinatown - Japantown - This historic district has the greatest potential for development, but also faces the greatest challenges. Among these is a lack of a clear vision. We have no guidelines at all in this district and are required to review proposals as part of the Central City Fundamental Design Guidelines. PDC is proposing $57 million in investment in the Old Town/Chinatown neighborhood over the next five years, matched by what is expected to be a much larger private contribution. Design Guidelines for Chinatown have been included in the recommendations for action as part of the 2008 Revised design guidelines West Quadrant SAC plan and we ask for Council’s draft for Skidmore/Old Town Historic District immediate support in funding this effort. Future Districts - After getting these first two priorities accomplished, we would like to begin a citywide update of the district guidelines so that they are consistent in terms of policy and approach, and relevant to the 2035 planning efforts underway. 4 STATE OF THE CITY PRESERVATION REPORT 2014 | PORTLAND HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION PRIORITY 2 - UPDATE HISTORIC RESOURCE INVENTORY The first comprehensive city-wide survey was conducted in 1984. Since that time, the city has engaged in more modest efforts to identify historic resources. Several innovative studies completed from 2010-2013 as a result of Certified Local Government matching grants, such as the East Portland Historic Survey Project, Modern Historic Buildings Survey Project, and the Portland URM Building Survey Project, have successfully addressed issue-specific information needs that related to planning priorities. The URM study, in particular, sets the stage for future work in the area of disaster planning as well as economic development issues for unreinforced masonry buildings located throughout the city.

  • Steam Plant Redevelopment: Request for Qualifications Summary of Submissions – June 2018
    Steam Plant Redevelopment: Request for Qualifications Summary of Submissions – June 2018 Submission #1: Community Space & Arts Hub Primary contact: J. C. Geiger Key members of the proposal include John Boosinger (University of Oregon Technical Science Administration Department and Rhithwir Virtual Reality), Alan Evans (Evans, Elder, Brown, and Seubert Commercial Real Estate), J.C. Geiger (Author, Artistic Director of No Shame Theater), Joseph Moore (GMA Architects), and Liora Sponko (Lane Arts Council). Their proposal envisions a Steam Plant that is redeveloped for two core uses: 1) a community space, including a café/restaurant, public attraction and interactive gallery, and 2) an arts hub with artist living spaces, studio space, workspace, and a gallery. The team suggests that “given the non-traditional nature of this project, the funding will also be a non- traditional mix of private investments, public investments, and philanthropic contributions.” After the capital phase, the Steam Plant would be managed by a new or existing non-profit organization. If chosen for the proposals phase, the respondents intend on expanding the team to include members with relevant development experience, including adaptive re-use projects. Submission #2: deChase Miksis Development Primary Contacts: Mark Miksis, deChase Miksis Development Mark Frohnmayer, Arcimoto Key members of this response include Mark Miksis and Dean Pape of deChase Miksis Development, Mark Frohnmayer and Jesse Fittipaldi of Arcimoto, Matt Sayre of the Technology Association of Oregon, Robert Cohen of Falling Sky Brewing, John Rowell and Greg Brokaw of Rowell Brokaw Architects, Donald Peting (historic building consultant), and Jason Thompson of Catena Consulting Engineers. The team proposes forming a Limited Liability Corporation to capitalize, develop, manage, and own the property.
