SRC Chapter 615
Portland/Fairgrounds Road Overlay Zone
Purpose of This Chapter
The Portland/Fairgrounds Road Overlay Zone is one of three new chapters proposed in the UDC which replace existing SRC Chapter 143B (Portland/Fairgrounds Road Overlay Zone). The proposed new Portland/Fairgrounds Road Overlay Zone specifically covers that portion of the existing overlay zone that is not part of an mixed-use area.
The Portland/Fairgrounds Road Overlay Zone prescribes uses, development standards, and design review guidelines and standards applicable within the overlay. The chapter works in conjunction with the underlying zone and other chapters of the UDC which contain additional development standards (e.g. Special Requirements – SRC 700; Streets and Right-of-Way Improvements – SRC 810; Site Access and Circulation – SRC 830; Off-Street Parking & Loading – SRC 835; Landscaping and Screening – SRC 840).
