The King Neighborhood Association will hold a regular meeting on Tuesday, February 4, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM, at the NECN office, 4185 NE 7th Avenue, Portland. All are welcome!

We will have a presentation regarding the new development at 3802 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The developer plans to demolish the existing house at that location and build four new mixed-use buildings. Each building will have 19 residential units.

According to PortlandMaps.com, the proposed project is described as follows:

• Four buildings, to be developed sequentially, from the southeast corner of NE Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and NE Failing Street south toward NE Beech Street.
• Building A is a new three-story, mixed use structure located at the intersection of NE Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and NE Failing Street. It is composed of two stories of residential apartments over ground floor retail, lobby, and residential.
• The ground level will contain 850 square feet of retail area, a residential lobby, and three Type-B residential units.
• The building’s upper levels will contain a total of 16 residential units, combined with the ground level units, for a total of 19 apartments.
• Vehicular parking and loading are not required.
• Proposed structural systems include light wood framing and structural steel in isolated instances.
• Exterior materials include brick, box rib metal panel, fiber cement panel, aluminum store front, and painted steel.

We will also have a presentation about Community Warehouse and the Neighborhood Emergency Teams (NET) program.
