A Pre-Application Conference has been scheduled by SERA Architects and Catholic Charities to discuss the St Philip Neri Affordable Housing at 2408 SE 16th Ave:

St Philip Neri redevelopment project is a total of 50-unit affordable, permanent supportive housing project located on the St. Philip Neri Parish at 2408 SE 16th Ave, Portland, OR 97214 in the Hosford Abernethy Neighborhood District. This redevelopment stems from the City of Portland¿s Expanding Opportunities for Affordable Housing Initiative which rezoned the St. Philip Neri Parish parcel to an RM2 allowing for medium density affordable and permanent supportive housing on the site. A total of 50 units of permanent supportive housing will divided between the adaptive reuse of the existing 1913 Church housing 13 units and a new 3-story construction along the SE Division Street housing 37 units and supportive services spaces. The project will be in collaboration with Catholic Charities of Oregon and the St. Philip Neri Parish and will be specifically targeted to serve families in the community who are most in need. The stormwater will be managed on site via bio swales and
stormwater planters.

Metro Reports: Pearl Building East, Bridgeport Brewery, 1531 N Alberta, and more

Pearl Building East
The Pearl Building East was approved in 2017, however the approval is now expiring. Review of the building permit, submitted in 2019, was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. City Council is currently considering an ordinance that would extend the life of land use reviews approved in the past three years. If Council does not adopt an amendment that would let Pearl East move take advantage of this the project will need to be re-submitted for a Type III Historic Resource Review.

Early Assistance has been requested for a project at 2359 SE 124th Ave:

Applicant proposes to develop the project site to support a new commercial/retail building. The lot is currently vacant and has some existing structures and paved areas which will be removed in preparation for the proposed improvements. The lot is zoned CM2 and all improvements will fall under the allowed outright uses of the CM2 zone. Proposed site improvements include the construction of two buildings, a driveway and a parking/loading area in between the two buildings. All stormwater runoff from the impervious parking area will be disposed on-site via an infiltration swale and roof runoff will be retained and infiltrated onsite via drywells underneath the parking area. Building construction will be phased such that the rear building will be constructed first.
