(Ord. 3-2021 § 1 (Exh. A))

230.330 Building Setbacks and Orientation.

A. Required Setbacks. The setbacks for front, rear and side yards are stated in Table 230-2.

B. Maximum Setback.

(1) Purpose. The intent of the maximum setback standard is to promote a comfortable and interesting pedestrian environment by creating visually interesting street frontages and a sense of enclosure on a street when experienced as a pedestrian.

(2) Applicability. The maximum setback standard applies to all development as follows:

(a) Expansions or additions to buildings must not increase the length of street-facing façade that does not conform to the maximum setback standard and must, to the extent feasible, reduce the area dedicated to parking and vehicular circulation between the building and the street.

(b) Food pods, mobile food units, and buildings in micro retail pods are not subject to the maximum setback standard.

(c) On corner lots, the maximum setback only applies to the street property line which abuts the higher classification street. If the lot abuts two (2) streets of the same classification, then the applicant may select which street property line the maximum setback applies to.

(3) Standards.

(a) Maximum Setback. The maximum a building can be set back from a street lot line is ten (10) feet. At least seventy-five (75) percent of the length of the ground level street-facing façade of the building must meet the maximum setback standard. Eaves, chimneys, bay windows, overhangs, cornices, awnings, canopies, porches, decks, pergolas, and similar architectural features on the façade do not count towards meeting the maximum setback standard. The standard applies to the façade wall (Figure 230-2).

(b) Improvements in the Setback Between a Building and a Street Lot Line. The land between any building and a street lot line must be landscaped to at least the L1 standard and/or hard-surfaced for use by pedestrians. This standard does not exempt developments from meeting overall site landscaping or street frontage requirements.

(c) Location of Parking Areas. Parking and vehicle circulation areas are prohibited in the setback area between the building and the street lot line. Parking and vehicle circulation areas must not be located within ten (10) feet of the street lot line on more than fifty (50) percent of the length of the street frontage to which the maximum setback standard applies. Bicycle parking may be located in the area between a building and a street lot line when the area is hard surfaced.

Figure 230-2. Building Orientation

(4) Main Entrance.

(a) Purpose. These requirements ensure that main entrances are visible and connected to the sidewalk by a pedestrian walkway.

(b) Applicability.

i. The main entrance standard applies to all sites with at least one (1) frontage on a street, and where any of the floor area on the site is in nonresidential uses, must meet the following standards. If the site has frontage on more than one (1) street the standards must be met on at least one (1) street.

ii. These standards apply to the primary building(s) on a site (e.g., not to accessory structures). The standards do not apply to food pods, mobile food units, and buildings in micro retail pods.

(c) Standards. For portions of a building within the maximum building setback, at least one (1) main entrance for each nonresidential tenant space on the ground floor must meet the standards of this section.

i. Location. The main entrance must be within twenty-five (25) feet of the street and must face the street or be at an angle of up to forty-five (45) degrees from the street, measured from the street property line.

ii. Entrance Design. The primary building entrances must be architecturally emphasized through the use of two (2) or more of the following features: recessed doorway(s) at least two (2) feet deep; overhangs or canopies at least three (3) feet deep; transom windows; ornamental light fixtures; larger, transparent or more prominent doors; or pilasters or columns that frame the principal doorway.

iii. Public Access. The primary entrance must remain open to the public during operating hours of the business.

(iv) Walkway Connection. All primary entrances to a building (e.g., tenant entrance, lobby entrance, breezeway entrance, or courtyard entrance) must be connected to the sidewalk by a direct and continuous walkway.

C. Extensions Into Required Building Setbacks.

235.450 Required Building and Landscape Frontage.

A. The required building frontage and required landscape frontage is the same on the public street or public easement as defined by the requirements of Section 235.420.

B. Where specified, the applicable façade of a building (or landscape screening) is required to be located at the required building frontage line for a percentage of the linear distance between the centerlines of the nearest perpendicular streets or paths. Where a required building front line occurs on a curved segment of a street, path or plaza, the required frontage shall be measured as the linear dimension of the chord.

C. See Figure 235-1 for further building frontage requirements.

(1) Multiple Frontages.

(a) When a development fronts multiple street or paths, one of the frontages shall be determined as the primary street or frontage and the other frontage as the secondary street or frontage, according to the following hierarchy:

(b) Primary Street or Frontage. Main Street.

(c) Secondary Street or Frontage. Public Plaza and all other streets or paths, including NE Wood Village Boulevard, NE 223rd Avenue, NE Arata Road, and NE Glisan Street. The development shall meet the required building frontage on the primary street. The remaining perimeter of the lot shall meet the applicable required landscape frontage.

(2) Sites Bounded by Secondary Streets or Frontages. Where no primary frontage exists, then the primary frontage is defined as the edge adjacent to the secondary street.

(3) Primary Street Frontage Wraps the Corner. On corner sites, the building shall meet the required building frontage on the primary street. On the secondary street the same frontage requirement shall apply to fifty (50) feet from the corner where the primary street meets the secondary street. The remaining perimeter of the lot shall meet the applicable required landscape frontage.

(4) Resolving Frontage Conflicts.

235.470 Town Center Gateways.

A. Purpose. “Gateways” refers both to entrances into the City or individual districts and to design techniques for public spaces that help people identify where they are in the community and how to get around. Gateways signify a change in development character and style, as well as help promote a sense of place and community identity. Gateways should be developed at key entrances into the Town Center as a way of establishing identity and to reinforce the unique character of the Wood Village Town Center, to greet visitors and welcome residents home. Wayfinding techniques such as landscaping, street design and special signage also help users establish where they are and where they are going.

B. Requirement. Each property adjacent to a gateway, as identified in Figure 235-1, is required to comply with one (1) of the following conceptual gateway design strategies:

(1) Archway.

(2) Central monument.

(3) Gateway buildings.

(4) Ground plane treatment.

(5) Sidewalk monument.

(6) Wayfinding signage and functional markers.

(7) To encourage a flexible, creative response to the zoning code, gateway requirements are offered as a menu of options. Each property adjacent to a required gateway or upon which a required gateway is located, must provide, at a minimum, one (1) of the following gateway structures or treatments.

The images included are provided for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to be literally interpreted as standards or guidelines.

On-site driveway stacking and queuing impacts shall be assessed. The potential for shared access with adjacent development shall be assessed.

(b) Geometric design and operational improvements including but not limited to acceleration lanes, deceleration lanes, turning lanes, traffic signals, and channelization shall be considered, evaluated, and recommended when determined necessary by standards and practices adopted by ODOT, Multnomah County, the City or approved by the City Manager or designated representative.

(c) Adequacy of sight distance shall be addressed at the proposed road access point(s) for both the existing road configuration and for the ultimate road configuration based on improvements planned for the development and improvements identified in the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element. Sight distance shall meet City standards or AASHTO standards as determined by the jurisdiction.

(d) The analysis shall also identify and evaluate related impacts on bicycle, pedestrian, and transit access, circulation, and facilities.

(e) Other operational, circulation, safety, and capacity issues shall be evaluated and addressed as required by the City Manager or designated representative.

(6) Mitigation Identification. The analysis shall make recommendations for improvements necessary for safe and efficient traffic flow and bicycle, pedestrian, and transit movement and access based on and roughly proportional to the identified impacts. Buildout Year, Long-Range Forecast Year, and project phasing impacts shall be considered.

The traffic impact analysis shall discuss the estimated levels of impact, improvements, and mitigations, and shall demonstrate how the recommended mitigations are roughly proportional to the identified impacts.

(7) Recommendations. The Traffic Impact Analysis report shall clearly state the mitigation measures recommended by the analysis and shall summarize how the recommended mitigations are roughly proportional to the identified impacts. The recommended street and highway mitigation measures shall be shown on a scaled drawing that depicts existing and recommended improvements.

G. Conditions. Based on the mitigation measures recommended by the Traffic Impact Analysis, the City in collaboration with the jurisdiction with authority on the road or abutting roads, may impose reasonable conditions on development as necessary to maintain compliance with performance standards in the Transportation System Plan (TSP), including where applicable Level of Service (LOS) standards, and in compliance with standards of the jurisdiction with authority on the road. Such conditions may include requiring construction of off-site improvements, but no improvements to streets or intersections not contiguous to the subject property shall be undertaken without the approval of the affected jurisdiction.
