Early assistance – application
Address: 5615 S. Macadam Ave.
Applicant: Nathan Arnold of Faster Permits
Owner: Lindquist Development Co.

Type 1 procedure (design review) – pending

Exterior modifications are needed for a new generator in the basement parking level.
Type 2 procedure (environmental review) – pending
Address: 2846 S.W. Sam Jackson Park Road
Applicant: Kurt Robinson of the Portland Bureau of Environmental Services
Owner: city of Portland
Assessments have determined that the Sheridan Trunk Sewer, a 40-inch-diameter concrete pipeline built more than 110 years ago in the old Marquam Gulch, is in very poor structural condition. Subsequent predesign studies have determined that approximately 1,700 feet of the old trunk must be replaced. A portion of the new sewer pipeline at the west end is partially located in environmental conservation and environmental protection overlay zones. At area 1 and area 2, stormwater will continue to flow to existing storm inlets on the properties. When the project is finished, the existing storm drains will be connected to the new trunk sewer. At area 4, there are no storm inlets; stormwater infiltrates into the soil. When the project is finished, stormwater will continue to infiltrate into the soil, restored to preexisting conditions.
Type 1 procedure (design review) – pending
Address: 1235 W. Burnside St.
Applicant: MJ Jun of Permit Place of Sherman Oaks, California

Plans call for a minor remodel to install “bottle drop” service to a Whole Foods Market. The area of work is 1,350 square feet. The affected facade is 99.5 square feet. This proposal is to replace a transom window with a louver and replace a portion of the ground-floor façade with a reduction of windows to facilitate installation of a roll-up garage door, a door to serve the bottle drop and other changes altering the storefront system.
Type 2 procedure (adjustment) – pending

Ten new light poles are proposed for the main grounds of Congregation Beth Israel: eight measuring 12 feet high and two measuring 10 feet high, each with a white polycarbonate, 20-inch, round globe. The light poles will have a dark bronze finish that matches the historic sanctuary light fixtures. Three non-historic light poles at the site’s east end will gain new light fixture heads. Two non-historic light poles at the site’s west elevation will be removed as will metal conduit and several wall-mounted light fixtures. The CBI main sanctuary is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Half of the site is a contributing resource, and the other half of the site is a non-contributing resource in the Alphabet Historic District.

The scope of work for the Sally McCracken Apartments includes HVAC improvements to add cooling to each residential unit. Mini-splits will serve the street-facing units and the exterior mechanical units will be located centrally on the roof, set back from the street-facing parapets by 15 feet. Units facing into the building’s two internal lightwells will receive PTHP units that require exterior louvers for exhaust and intake. The condensate for these units will be routed inside the building and daylighted on the second-floor lightwell roofs through 10 bronze spouts.
Early assistance – pending
Address: 1820 N.E. 21st Ave.
Applicant: Melynda Retallack of Ink:Built Architecture
Owner: Central Lutheran Church
The Oregon AFSCME (a nonprofit union for public-sector employees) is looking to purchase this property to house its offices and hold monthly meetings. The existing site has a church that was built in 1951 and is allowed in the zone because of a conditional use. This is a non-contributing resource in the Irvington Historic District.
Type 2 procedure (design review) – pending
Address: 3181 S.W. Sam Jackson Park Road
Applicants: Meredith Armstrong and Andrew Yaden of Portland General Electric
Owner: Oregon State Board of Higher Education
By introducing new feeders and implementing distribution automation switches at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) main campus facilities, the aim is to boost the Marquam Hill area’s capacity and modernize emergency operations and future load management at the OHSU and Portland Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center campuses. The project’s execution is divided into two phases: segment 3, which is under way; and segment 4, which is set to follow upon completion of segment 3. Due to their sequential nature, the two project segments are permitted separately; this application is for segment 4 only. Segment 4 has independent utility from segment 3.
