DESCRIPTION:
This proposal for the development of mixed-use affordable housing on parcel k of the Octavia Boulevard redevelopment area is driven by four primary design imperatives: the creation of open green space as zones of community interaction, providing a strong, well-scaled urban landmark at the intersection of two prominent pedestrian and transit corridors, thoughtful consideration of the resource consumption and efficiency of the project, and the proposal of a progressive, alternative ownership model– a community land trust*.
* A community land trust (CLT) is a democratically controlled membership organization that develops and/or maintains resident-controlled affordable housing to serve low-income members of the community. The organization is comprised of CLT residents as well as members of the surrounding community.
