You are invited to the Community Open House for the Tacoma Station Area Plan on March 20th. The City of Milwaukie has been developing the Tacoma Station Area Plan since April 2012 in coordination with others to examine opportunities for redevelopment and investment in the vicinity of the new Tacoma Street light rail station. Information about the Tacoma Station Area Plan (TSAP) is on the City’s website at http://www.ci.milwaukie.or.us/planning/tacoma-station-area-plan-0.

The meeting details are:
Date: Wednesday, March 20, 2013
Time:  6:30 – 8:30 PM
Location: Public Safety Building – 3200 SE Harrison Street, Milwaukie, OR 97222

The meeting is an open house, and the public is invited to attend at any time during the event. Project staff will be on hand to take comments and answer questions. Topics will include:

  • Draft site plans for redevelopment of the Pendleton site south of the light rail station and the ODOT site on Main St;
  • Land uses and development standards for properties in the study area;
  • Transportation improvements for better access to and within the area;
  • Street cross sections for public rights-of-way in the north industrial area;
  • Strategies for dealing with the limited supply of on- and off-street auto parking.
  • Zoning code changes that will be adopted to implement the plan, including potential changes to the City’s Manufacturing (M) zone that may apply outside of the study area.

This is the final general public event for the TSAP project, and will provide the City and the project consultant with important feedback as we prepare for adoption of the plan and zoning amendments in April – June 2013.

Meeting materials will be posted on March 15th on the City webpage for the meeting: http://www.ci.milwaukie.or.us/planning/tacoma-station-area-plan-community-meeting. Please pass this invitation along to other parties that may be interested.
