About

Foster-Powell

Foster-Powell, located between Mount Tabor and Lents, is a residential and commercial Portland neighborhood with a long stretch of storefronts and a grid of tree-lined side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along SE Foster Road near SE 52nd Avenue, where taquerias, bottle shops, music rooms, and small galleries keep the sidewalks active. Vintage bungalows and mid-century ranches mix with newer townhomes, giving the blocks a layered, lived-in look. The Foster Floodplain Natural Area adds a quiet ribbon of wetlands and paths. Community pillars like the Clinton Street Theater, 5 & Dime, and Assembly Brewing anchor nights out with cult films, pinball, and wood-fired pies.

Commercial Employment Zone

The Commercial Employment CE zone is a medium-scale zone intended for sites along corridors with a Neighborhood Collector or higher traffic classification, especially along civic corridors that are also Major Truck Streets or Priority Truck Streets. This zone is generally not appropriate in designated centers, except on a site that is currently developed in an auto-oriented manner and where more urban development is not yet economically feasible. The zone allows a mix of commercial uses, including auto-accommodating development and drive-through facilities, as well as some light manufacturing and distribution uses that have few off-site impacts. The emphasis of this zone is on commercial and employment uses, but residential uses are also allowed.Buildings in this zone will generally be up to four stories tall. This zone is intended to allow for development with auto-accommodating configurations, while also including pedestrianoriented design features that support transit and pedestrian access.

Permitted uses

Religious facility
