Many cities the sizes of Gresham have off-leash dog parks that provide a real convenience and source of enjoyment to dog owners and their pets. These dog parks offer a safe and clean environment by providing an alternative to dog owners who might otherwise let their best friend run loose -- presenting a hazard to their pets and people.

Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 6:30PM the Gresham Parks Commission will consider a proposal for an off-leash dog park. This is not a dog park meeting, but rather a meeting to encourage the Commission to pass a dog park proposal.

Interested persons are encouraged to attend this meeting.

Property owners, stakeholders and interested parties are invited to attend a community forum for the Rockwood Design Standards project. This project is intended to implement the vision for Rockwood by establishing an urban design framework and then creating regulations to ensure that the physical environment in Rockwood—its buildings, streetscapes, pedestrian environments and open spaces—match that vision for a quality place. The project regulations will also:

• Promote a sense of community and livability
• Identify elements of good building and site design
• Support the City's sustainability goals
• Address safety issues

This forum is intended to introduce the project, evaluate the draft principles and establish an urban form for the heart of Rockwood that will inform the development of design and policy recommendations. The evening will include an open house at 6:30, a presentation and large group discussion starting at 6:45, and small group work sessions to conclude the evening.
