In August, the city gave notice of a pre-application conference, to discuss design review on “a 9-story, mixed use building.” The applicant was Don Vallaster of Vallaster Corl Architects. This architecture firm is involved with a development in the Buckman neighborhood previously profiled by the Portland Chronicle.

A public hearing was schedule for Nov. 6 for the Design Commission to review the project. While the initial application described a nine-story development, the notice of public hearing calls the proposed project an “11-story” building. An application for a Type III procedure received earlier this month also describes an 11-story building.

The next step will likely be for the commission to issue its decision, followed by the opportunity for appeal to City Council.
