PD-2020-002

A Preliminary Planned Development review for the redevelopment of Hillside Park to allow higher density apartment and mixed-use buildings. The Planned Development proposal is for the redevelopment of Hillside Park, which is owned and operated by the Housing Authority of Clackamas County (HACC). The 16-acre property consists of 100 single-family dwelling units and the 100-unit Hillside Manor tower. The tower, which was partitioned onto a separate lot in early 2020, will remain on site and be refurbished. The remainder of the site will be redeveloped with apartments and mixed-use buildings for a total of 600 units on the property (400 new units, 100 replacement units and 100 units in the Hillside Manor tower) at the end of all phases of development.

In addition to the residential development, the proposal includes open space, recreational areas, playgrounds, and the development of small-scale commercial uses in the mixed-use buildings facing onto SE 32nd Ave and SE Meek St. To achieve the new density proposed, the site will be rezoned to R1 (High Density Residential) on the north and GMU (General Mixed Use) on the south. The Comprehensive Plan designations will also be changed from Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential on the north and Town Center on the south.

The proposed redevelopment on the site will involve the phased demolition of the existing improvements, including removal of the structures, demolition of the existing roads, and abandonment of the infrastructure. A new street grid and infrastructure plan is proposed, with the streets to be realigned. The phasing plan will include assisting the current Hillside Park residents with relocation into one of the new units upon completion. The first phase anticipates HACC developing at least 100 replacement units that will be leased to low-income residents.

The Master Plan also includes subdividing the property into smaller lots to phase development and provide the opportunity for development of lots by outside partners. The new residential development is anticipated to be both market rate and affordable housing that will leverage federal, state, and local funding opportunities.
