The applicant is Ben Ott of Holst Architecture, and the owner is Human Solutions Inc.

• Early assistance is sought for a five-story apartment building with approximately 72 units, 20 ground-floor parking spaces and two community rooms to provide required common space at 5733 N.E.

• A pre-application conference is sought for a new eight-story, 130,000-square-foot office building constructed of cross-laminated timber at 236 S.E. Grand Ave. The building would be 98 feet, six inches tall and have 39 below-grade parking stalls. An alternate six-story option is also provided. The half-block site, currently occupied by a quarter-block retail building and a quarter-block parking lot, was sold in September to a limited liability corporation affiliated with Sturgeon Development Partners.

The applicant is Robert Thompson of TVA Architects, and the owner is Grand Opportunity LLC.

• A pre-permit zoning plan check is pending for development of a new public plaza adjacent to the Zoiglhaus Brewing Company space at 5716 S.E. 92nd Ave. To create space for the plaza, an existing single-story retail building would be demolished. The back of the site would include an expansion to the brewery, with a new glass façade to create a more transparent backdrop for the plaza. The new public space would exist on the footprint of the retail building, which formerly held a carpet store, and an existing parking area. It would include a new private street off of Southeast 92nd Avenue that would be designed as a woonerf – serving private cars on weekdays and emergency vehicles. The street would be an extension of the plaza to accommodate community events. The project would include new seating, shade structures, public art, plantings and a water feature. The applicant is Tuan Vu of Propel Studio Architecture, and the owner is Prosper Portland.

An adjustment is sought for oriel windows, and modifications are requested for loading parking and bicycle parking. The owner is Michael Nyland. An applicant is not listed, but Jessamyn Griffin of Works Progress Architecture was the applicant for a pre-application conference in October.
