City of Gresham, Rockwood Design Standards Community Forum: June 2, 2010 6:30PM. Info here!

Help shape Rockwood's urban design framework: buildings, streetscapes, open spaces, and more

When: Wednesday June 2, 2010 6:30PM-8:00PM
Where: Gresham City Hall

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.
