Proposal:
The applicant requests Design Review approval for some of the work associated with setting up operations for the Cirque du Soleil theatrical circus on a vacant site in South Waterfront. Tents, office trailers, and a staff kitchen will be set up on the site. Site work includes the following:
Install a temporary fence and gates, water and sewer connections, concrete culverts, a spill containment berm, and shallow trenches;
Prepare existing concrete surfaces on the site so they are free of protrusions and flush with the ground;
Place fill material consisting of well-graded gravel or crushed stone to specified lines and grades to eliminate depressions and to ensure adequate drainage;
Construct eight ground anchors made of concrete; and
Cover most of the site with new asphalt paving.
The circus will operate from March 4th through April 13th. Afterwards the site will be restored to its original condition, with the exception of the proposed gravel and asphalt. Site restoration will occur through April 25th, 2008. Per the site lease agreement with OHSU, the new gravel and asphalt paving will be removed by December 31st, 2010 at the latest.

Proposal:
A new full-block, six-story mixed-use building on “Block 49” of the South Waterfront District was approved via Casefile LU 07-153880 DZM AD. The site is currently a paved surface parking area bordered by SW Lowell Street, SW Bond Avenue, SW Bancroft Street and SW Moody Avenue. The proposed development will include five floors with 209 (affordable) apartments above a first floor and lower level. The street level will include a residential lobby space and a streetcar stop. The remainder of the street level will include retail spaces, a 50-space covered garage with driveway access onto SW Bond, a loading bay and underground garage entry drive facing SW Moody, and divisible office space wrapping the remainder of the east, south and west sides of the building. The lower-level of the building will include additional parking spaces, a long-term bike parking room, and a second loading space.
A total of approximately 166 on-site parking spaces are proposed for this development. Of this total, approximately 50 parking spaces will be Growth Parking for Retail Sales and Service use. On weeknights after 6:00 p.m. and on weekends, these 50 parking spaces are proposed to be shared with the Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant, which is located on the adjacent property to the east, on the east side of SW Bond Avenue.
Per Zoning Code Section 33.510.267.A.6.b.(2), if there are more than 20 parking spaces of any type on the site, parking created in conjunction with Retail Sales and Service uses is subject to a Central City Parking Review (CCPR). Because the total number of parking spaces for this development will exceed 20 spaces, the proposed 50 parking spaces for Retail Sales and Service use require approval of a CCPR.
