100’ x 120’ | 12,000 sf Cost Market Value: $234,200 Assessed Value: $24,680 Zoning RHd The RH zone is a high density multi-dwelling zone. Density is not regulated by a maximum number of units per acre. Rather, the maximum size of buildings and intensity of use is regulated by floor area ratio (FAR) limits and other site development standards. Generally the density will range from 80 to 125 units per acre. Allowed housing is characterized by medium to high height and a relatively high percentage of building coverage. The major types of new housing development will be low, medium, and high-rise apartments and condominiums.

Generally, RH zones will be well served by transit facilities or be near areas with supportive commercial services.

Retail Sales And Service and Office uses in the RH zone. This regulation applies to all parts of Table 120-1 that have note [2]. a. Purpose. Certain commercial uses are allowed as conditional uses in the RH zone to allow mixed-use development on larger sites that are close to light rail transit facilities. b. Regulations. Retail Sales And Service and Office uses are allowed as a conditional use if they meet the following regulations.

(1) The uses are allowed in new multi-dwelling developments only.

Conversion of existing structures is prohibited; (2) The uses are limited to 20 percent of the net building area of the development. More than 20 percent of the net building area used for Retail Sales And Service, or Office is prohibited; and

the commercial uses is not required to be in a new building; 2. Commercial uses are allowed only on the ground floor of a building; 3. Up to 35 percent of the total building’s floor area may be developed for commercial uses. More than 35 percent is prohibited; 4. Access to parking for mixed commercial/residential development is limited as follows: a. Access must be from an arterial; or b. Access must be from a Local Service Traffic Street which is within 150 feet of the intersection with a street designated as an arterial; and 5. Signs.

The zone allows mixed-uses and is intended for areas in the center of the City that have predominantly industrial type development. The intent of the zone is to allow industrial and commercial uses which need a central location. Residential uses are allowed, but are not intended to predominate or set development standards for other uses in the area. The development standards are intended to allow new development which is similar in character to existing development.

Market Selection Analysis Proposal

3833 N WILLIAMS AVE PORTLAND, OR 97227

Summary Due to the proximity of our site to popular streets such as Mississippi and Alberta and the quickly developing street of N. Williams, our proposed housing project would best be marketed towards young adults who are either single or married with no children. These young adults are most likely at the start of their careers and are looking for attractive yet affordable housing locations—one with many conveniences such as grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, and bars as the proposed site provides.

The building itself will include ground floor retail and multi-family units above. Furthermore, the target market is more likely to be environmentally conscious, choosing to ride bicycles, transit, or walk as opposed to heavily using personal motor vehicles; ample street parking in the area can help reduce the need for on-site parking. This market will also be more attracted to a green-certified building such as a higher LEED rating, or Living Building Challenge or the Passivhaus.

NW

Using rowhouses allows for six residential units on a relatively small (90’x50’) site, along with three retail units. The six rowhouses will be accessed via three paired entries on the first floor (see site design), which eliminates the need for burdensome vertical circulation spaces, access corridors, and elevators. The area is developing rapidly, but at Failing & Williams, there are relatively low existing buildings, with heights of around 20 feet. This building, with its height of 35 feet, would attempt to retain the scale of the lower residential and commercial surrounding it, but relate to the many new developments of 50 to 60 feet in the neighborhood.

Setting the residential units back 10’ from the south allows for light for the north and south, as well as private outdoor spaces, even when a building is built on the lot adjacent to the south.

Development Pro-Forma

Real Estate Development Analysis Financial Analysis

Building six rowhouses with three retail units makes financial sense when the project is a sell-only situation. With this project, all six residential units would be sold, and all three retail units would be sold as well.

A CEO of a real estate company in NE Portland expects that residential units of this size at this location could sell for $450,000 without privatized parking. A retail sales price was calculated using information from Loopnet (http://www.loopnet.com/Portland_Oregon_Market-Trends), which states that the median sales price for retail spaces in the Portland area sell for $136.72/sf as of Sep. 2013. This is the value used in this Proforma, but with the location of this project, it could be argued that the retail units would sell for much more than units in Beaverton or Vancouver.

Tax savings information was taken from bankrate.com, which showed that the homebuyers would save $5,544 per year.

The building will fall under Building Type V, any material allowed by code. It will be primarily light wood framing, mainly due to the positive economics of wood construction and the relatively short height of the building. The target price will be $150/sf.

Building Height Under R-3, per IBC Table 503, height of the bulding is limited to 3 stories for Type V construction, A (one hour) or B (unprotected) Egress requirements Minimum 7’-6” Ceiling Height Max floor area allowed per occupant R-3 200 sf/occupant

This applies to the relationship between Residential, Mercantile, and Assembly uses. This can be accomplished with a higher rated Type V construction on the ground floor, or a Type 3 construction on the ground floor and Type V construction in the residential units above.
