Design Advice Request hearing for a proposed Central City Master Plan for the OMSI Station area, which is located in the Central Eastside Subdistrict of the Central City Plan District. The master plan area encompasses land owned by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, at approximately 18.53 acres, as well as adjacent land owned by other public entities, bringing the total area under consideration to approximately 21.25 acres. The proposed master plan includes a new area design and development framework for approximately 1.5 – 3 million new square feet of mixed-use development, and describes potential development phasing, future land uses and building massing envelopes, public open space and river access, vehicle and pedestrian circulation, infrastructure, and sustainability strategies. A Central City Master Plan Review will be required for this area pending adoption of recommended new zoning regulations that are proposed as part of the Central City 2035 project and which are currently under consideration by the City Council.
