  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Inclusive Business Prosperity in North/Northeast Portland Author: Coffman, Max, Garrels, Renee, Grushon, Erin, LoGiudice, Sarah, Ruznic, Sanela, Vonde Veld, Sara Year: 2007 Building Business Equity undertook a research study on the nature of commercial displacement. Demographic data and anecdotal evidence suggest that major shifts are occurring in the population and commercial markets in inner N/NE Portland. Therefore, BBE chose to identify and evaluate strategies to assist minority, women owned and emerging small businesses (MWESB) in the area. This project was conducted under the supervision of Ethan Seltzer and Sumner Sharpe.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lents: a Neighborhood Issues Analysis Author: Portland State University Year: 1993 This document was prepared by graduate students at Portland State University in partial fulfillment of the Master of Urban and Regional Planning Degree. A comprehensive planning workshop was held during the Fall and Winter quarters of the 1992-1993 academic year. Workshop topics included an issues analysis during fall quarter and alternatives analysis during winter quarter. The alternatives analysis is still in progress and only this draft of the issues analysis is available at this time. The purpose of this document is to assist in defining critical issues for the Lents neighborhood. In November of 1992, local citizens participated in a neighborhood workshop which identified specific issues relevant to economic development, housing, transportation, the environment, and social services. Other issues that affect the Lents neighborhood were also considered. The intent of the issues analysis is to define particular problems that can then be addressed during the alternatives analysis. The preferred alternative or combination of alternatives can then be implemented to meet policy goals and objectives identified in the Outer South East Portland Community Plan and the City of Portland's Comprehensive Plan.

In addition to exploring that question in the traditional manner - considering issues of supply and demand, local competition and potential market niches -- we found ourselves compelled by a deeper exploration of the possibilities. Given that the store would be a Habitat for Humanity venture.... how could the store be utilized to improve people's lives... to empower and to educate... to both gain from and give back to the community? With the following report we hope we have answered the original question and raised some new ones.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Downtown Revitalized, Community Organized: a Comparative Analysis of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Portland, Oregon Author: Wagoner, Amber Year: 2016 This thesis explores the relation between successful revitalization efforts and community engagement initiatives. The cities of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Portland, Oregon are compared on their most recent planning documents related to their downtown and/or central city. In 2010, The City of Tulsa adopted the Tulsa Comprehensive Plan, as well as the Downtown Area Master Plan (DAMP). These documents began a new era of revitalization after decades of disinterest and neglect for Tulsa’s downtown area. Portland’s revitalization efforts date back to the 1972 Downtown Plan. The plan launched participatory planning policies and inspired enthusiasm for a vibrant central city that continues to this day. The most recent Central City Plan (2016) echoes many of the earlier plan’s values and visions for Portland. Contextualization of Tulsa and Portland suggest that although they are at different points on their revitalization timeline, their commonalities as cities far outweigh their differences. Comparative analysis between the cities’ shows that Portland’s policies to assure citizen involvement throughout the planning process have led to stronger and more transparent plans which have withstood the test of time better than comparable documents in Tulsa. Increased community ownership of the planning process in Tulsa is suggested in order to guarantee these plans achieve their goals and stay relevant over time.

The goal was to develop a regional Housing Plan for Southeast Portland. Southeast Uplift Neighborhood Coalition, a non-profit organization offering administrative and technical support to Southeast neighborhood associations and other citizen groups agreed to cooperate in this endeavor. The goal and policies of this plan are those of the graduate students in the Master of Urban Planning program. The planning area, nearly coinciding with neighborhoods Southeast Uplift represents is bounded by the Willamette River to the west, I-84 to the north, (including that area north of Burnside Street with Northeast addresses), I-205 to the east and the Portland city limits to the south. The physical barrier pose by I-205 created a logical boundary for our planning area. This differs from the Southeast Uplift boundary which encompasses neighborhoods east of the freeway.

This vision must be created with respect to the industrial sanctuary that flanks this stretch of light rail corridor to the west and the residential and light industry to the east. This document is the product of a 2013 urban design workshop at Portland State University. The project builds upon three previous urban design workshops that focused on the Clinton station specifically and in conjunction with the Rhine station further south. This project was conducted under the supervision of Donald J. Stastny and Edward Starkie.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Clinton Street MAX Urban Vision Author: Abe, Darryl, Duncan, Allison, Fisher, Sheri, Higgins, Jay, Petch, Shawn, Rosenthal, Susan, Stein, Joel, Xu, Huifu Year: 2011 This document is the product of the 2011 Urban Design Workshop at Portland State University which worked to develop an urban design vision for the future Clinton Street MAX Station, part of the Portland- Milwaukie Light Rail line. This project follows two previous years of PSU workshops that investigated the urban design potential of Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail stations within the Hosford-Abernethy and Brooklyn neighborhoods in southeast Portland. While previous efforts were broad in scope, our project specifically addresses two oversized blocks immediately adjacent to the Clinton Street Station, refered to as the Powell Triangle. The blocks are bordered by 12th Ave. on the west side, 17th Ave. on the east side, Powell Blvd. on the south side, and Gideon St. on the north side and is bisected by 13th St. The Clinton Street Station is located on Gideon St. and will be bordered on the west side by 12th Ave., on the north side by the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks, on the south side by Gideon St., and on the east side by 13th St., providing some challenging access issues. Currently the land is zoned light industrial and is held by relatively few owners. Occupying uses are a lumberyard, a maintenance garage owned by the City of Portland and light warehousing and production. The tallest feature on the site is an abandoned fire tower that was once used for training purposes. This project was conducted under the supervision of Donald J. Stastny and Edward Starkie.

This project focuses on the future of the Clinton Street Station and how its development will impact the surrounding area over the next 50 years. This task involved acknowledging and balancing the current needs of the various stakeholders. The purpose of this report is to act as a tool for the Hosford-Abernethy Neighborhood Association (HAND) to more adequately understand the opportunities and constraints that the future station area holds. In order to begin imagining the future of the area, a thorough understanding and analysis is presented. Following this, design principles that shape the vision for the future are described. The document concludes with next steps and implementation recommendations. This project was conducted under the supervision of Donald J. Stastny and Edward Starkie.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Beyond "Rockhood" - Stigma, Diversity, and Renewal in a Suburban Portland Neighborhood Author: Hébert, Alison Year: 2013 This study examines the reasons for the high levels of perceived disorder in on suburban Portland neighborhood. It examines Census data, crime data, and media covered of the Rockwood neighborhood. Rockwood, increasingly diverse in recent years, suffers from developmental neglect, with much of the neighborhood a food desert. Despite its reputation and high population density, the neighborhood does not have a major crime problem, and given Portland's complicated racial history and the gentrification in the city, this study concludes that the reason for Rockwood's bad neighborhood reputation is racially motivated.
