Option 2: Norwood Forest Park and Condominiums

If 940 new apartments and homes already approved throughout Tualatin is not enough, and we need more housing...perhaps residential condos and mixed commercial use can be a good compromise between the need to build for future communities and serve the existing within the area. 

The residential zone would comprise of condos above, with a mixed commercial zone below. Commercial spaces would include restaurants such as a bistro, small grocery, or small shops. This would serve South Tualatin's expansion efforts and act as an outpost for the community of Norwood and provide much-needed amenities to serve (future) residents of CPAH Plambeck Apartments. Also, by creating a local commercial area, residents wouldn't need to drive long distances for supplies and in effect this would reduce traffic and emissions at the same time. 

This concept would be a great compromise for the developer by providing smart growth and planning. Please share this vision with your neighbors, community leaders, and the city. A RH-HR zone with almost 300 units of apartments and possibly more, just does not work in this condensed area.
