• Early assistance is sought for a new planned development with 11 to 24 homes at 2401 S.W. Taylors Ferry Road – a two-acre former church site. The homes will be sold to qualifying buyers as detached or attached condominium units. The applicant is Brett Schulz of Brett Schulz Architect, and the owner is Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East.

• Early assistance is sought for a four-story, modular building at 1840 S.W. Main St. The site currently holds a single-family residence. The new structure would have retail and shared functions on the ground floor, office space on the second floor and residences on the upper two floors.

• Early assistance is sought for a four-story, 30,000-square-foot mixed-use building on a quarter-block site at 836 N.E. 24th Ave. The core-and-shell development would contain space for warehouse and freight movement, wholesale sales, and medical equipment manufacturing and production space. The development intent is to demolish existing structures, including a shop building and a single-family residence, to allow for new construction, and to consolidate all properties on the quarter-block. Two existing buildings located in the northeast quadrant and on the block’s southern half would retain access, but remain separate properties. The new development would include the additions of roof decks on the buildings’ upper levels. The applicant is Jason Tand of LRS Architects, and the owner is Ferguson Family Investments LLC.

• Early assistance is sought for a three- to five-story apartment building at 8914 S.E. Ellis St., which currently holds a single-family residence.

The applicant is Nathan Ember of Ink:Built Architecture, and the owner is 8914 Ellis LLC.

• A Type II adjustment procedure is sought for a 1,080-square-foot addition on the south side of an existing garage building at 335 S.E. 99th Ave. The addition will include a new canopy over the building’s front entrance and bike parking. Adjustments requested are to allow more square footage for retail sales and service use, and to waive the maximum setback requirement for the addition at the rear of the building.

• A Type II adjustment procedure is requested for an 83,045-square-foot building at the southeast corner of Southeast Second Avenue and Ash Street, currently a surface parking lot. It would contain 59,576 square feet of industrial office space, 5,000 square feet of traditional office space, ground-floor retail space and structured parking. The building would have a daylit basement level and a concrete first floor with five levels of Type 3-A heavy timber framing above. The adjustment requested is to the loading requirement. The property was purchased in November 2018 by Second & Ash Operations LLC, which is registered to the San Diego address of private equity firm LLJ Ventures. The applicant is Agustin Enriquez of GBD Architects.

• A Type II design review is sought for the addition of a canopy structure to protect openings where wind-driven rain intrusion has occurred at the elevator tower on the northeast corner of a parking garage at 730 S.W. 10th Ave. The canopy structure is intended to be an extrusion of the existing elevator landing guardrail, with panels of laminated glass between the vertical structure and the overhead structure. The applicant is Christine Rumi of FFA Architecture and Interiors, and the owner is the city of Portland.

• A Type III design review is sought for improvements to the Bushong & Co. building at 333 S.W. Park Ave. Multnomah County last year purchased the 4.5-story property for use as a behavioral health resource. Planned improvements include accessibility upgrades, expansion of the ground-floor storefront, window replacement, roof leveling and membrane replacement, and eco-roof installation. New vertical circulation systems are also proposed to bring the building up to current egress codes. A surface parking lot north of the building will be converted into a private plaza with bicycle parking, covered seating, a paved recreation area, and stormwater planters. The applicant is Corey Morris of Carleton Hart Architecture, and the owner is Multnomah County Facilities and Property Management.
