M. Carter Commons is proposed by Northwest Housing Alternatives and the Urban League of Portland as a six-story, 63-unit affordable housing development for seniors. The project, funded by the Portland Housing Bureau, would be served by an elevator. The ground floor would hold a resident community room, management and residential services offices, three residential units, and a courtyard. An electrical room, trash service, and loading would be on the alley side of the ground floor. Water room access would be from Overlook Street. There would be a courtyard with an outdoor area for residents, a transformer, and a generator. Stormwater management would be via a private drywell system.

Type 1x procedure (historic resource review) – pending  
Address: 1218 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd. 
Applicant: John Weil of Weil Architecture Studio
Owner: Karen Cooper and Sidney Cooper Jr.

A new, detached outdoor canopy would be installed over existing, outdoor seating at 1212 S.E. Hawthorne Ave. The canopy would replace a nonconforming covered structure at the site. The canopy would be a steel structure with wood joists, partially covered to protect diners from rain. No new impervious surfaces would be added. Existing planter boxes, which capture 100 percent of roof runoff, would be retained for the new structure.

Early assistance – application
Address: 5210 N. Kerby Ave. 
Applicant: Stephen Effros of Portland Public Schools
Owner: School District No. 1

The Jefferson High School modernization will be designed for an average student capacity of 1,700 students. The focus school will need additional space to support dance and theater programs as well as expanded community partner programs. Plans call for construction of a facility with approximately 330,000 gross square feet. Two possible development strategies would utilize portions of the site either on the north or south ends of the Killingsworth-Street-to-Alberta-Street block.
