If you missed Tuesday night’s King Neighborhood Association meeting, you can read the minutes here.

An architect from William / Kaven Architecture talked about the new development planned by VWR Development (Vic Remmers) at 3802 NE MLK Jr. Blvd. The development, which consists of four separate mixed-use buildings, each containing 19 residential units, is designed to look like one contiguous building. Buildings that have under 20 units are excluded from the inclusionary housing (IH) law (see https://beta.portland.gov/inclusionary-housing/inclusionary-housing-comprehensive-guide), so this development is not required to include any affordable units.

A guest speaker from Community Warehouse (https://www.communitywarehouse.org) talked about how they provide essential household items to members of our community, and Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) members talked about disaster preparedness.

We also heard updates about Alberta Abbey’s (126 NE Alberta St.) application for commercial use, the proposed development at 1130 NE Alberta St, and the KNA’s work toward improving street safety around Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School.
