First, the city wants to rescind the temporary prohibition on attached rental housing in West Gresham. The ban covers some 3,500 acres and has been in place since 1998.
In its place, the city wants to create a new multifamily restriction for a 70-acre area in West Gresham known as the Rockwood Triangle. In that area--bounded by Burnside, Stark and 181st--apartment buildings would be required to be developed in conjunction with commercial, office, or community service uses.
"Because of this and its unique location and transportation characteristics, the area has the potential of redeveloping to be one of the most high-value and densely urban parts of Gresham," according to the city. "For these reasons, these properties can be most efficiently used and impart the most value to the community if they are not developed as 100% residential."
A public hearing on the matter will be held Aug. 12. The Planning Commission hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m., in the Gresham City Council Chambers, at 1333 NW Eastman Parkway, Gresham. A second public hearing is tentatively scheduled before the Gresham City Council on September 3, 2002, at 7:30 p.m.
