This is the first sizeable development I've seen in Portland that takes advantage of 2004's SB 1537, which requires mandatory approval of certain adjustments (variances) to local zoning codes. www.portlandmaps.com/detail/permi...

It will allow the 127 unit Apatheia development to move forward.
Screenshot from Portland Maps with aerial view and text "SB 1537 Mandatory Adjustment New 120,368sf, 127 residential unit, 6-story mixed use building with onsite parking and public plaza. Stormwater is processed on site using drywells. Three adjustments are being requested to: reduce minimum required number of bicycle parking spaces by 50% (33.266.200 and Table 266.6), increase building height maximum to allow for 1 additional story (33.130.212, Table 130-3), and building height transition requirements to adjust base stepdown by 50% (35' + 17.5') = 52.5' (33.130.210.B.2.a)"

a while back I had an idea that instead of trying to get people in the neighborhood to get rain barrels (which most people around here don't have a use for) we should be encouraging them to make drywells and rain gardens and aggressively interpenetrating rainfall back into the groundwater supply

large homes the county has already shown to be the principal cause of pervious surface and tree loss in residential areas. In fact, many tools to increase porosity of lots, such as drywells and pervious pavers -- preclude tree planting.
