Montgomery Park to Hollywood (MP2H) - Northwest Plan

You're invited to an Urban Design Character Workshop for the MP2H - NW Plan Area

 Please join project staff at an upcoming workshop to discuss the desired character of future development in the proposed MP2H - Northwest Plan area between NW Vaughn and NW Nicolai streets west of Highway 30.

Montgomery Park to Hollywood (MP2H) - Northwest Plan 
Urban Design Character Workshop
Wednesday, June 28, 2023, 6-8 PM
Friendly House, 1737 NW 26th Ave

We’ll be considering questions like:

  • What features make this place unique?

  • How should future mixed-use and other types of development respond to the area’s historic buildings and industrial heritage?

Tell us what you think! This workshop is an opportunity for you to share your ideas about the future character of this unique part of Portland. Your input will help us develop a Design Character Statement to accompany the MP2H - Northwest Plan. The character statement is used in design review of future development proposals.

The meeting will begin with an open house about the draft MP2H - Northwest Plan. Participants will then have an opportunity to share their thoughts about the design character of future employment, commercial, housing and mixed-use development in the area between NW Vaughn and NW Nicolai streets west of Highway 30.

Tentative Agenda (light snacks will be provided)

6:00 PM Open House – drop in to learn about the MP2H - Northwest Plan

6:40 PM Workshop – small groups to focus on design and character

7:45 PM Wrap-up

8:00 PM Adjourn

 

The MP2H-NW Plan Discussion Draft identified land use, transit and transportation changes being considered for the area between NW Vaughn and NW Nicolai west of Highway 30. The draft plan proposed transitioning the area over time, from an industrial and employment area into a mixed-use area with housing, employment, commercial services, and other uses. This mixed-use area would be served by a future extension of the Portland Streetcar North-South Line to the northwest. The MP2H-Northwest (NW) Plan effort is continuing, with an updated proposed plan expected later this year.
