Riverfront Development Plan

At a glance

  • What: Sasaki's Final Riverfront Development Strategic Plan, plus Red Draw Development's plans for Parcels B and C, including possible multi-family housing on Parcel C.
  • Where it stands: The final plan was presented July 27, 2026. Residents voiced concerns the same night. August 10: Red Draw said concepts for Parcel C are under consideration while it waits on the P3 Board.
  • Next: Linear park design for Parcel C (see Parcel C Linear Park Design Agreement); ORLP grant application planned October 2026.
  • Freshness: Possibly stale: the newest information here is from August 2026. Later Board agendas (Sep 28, Oct 12) were image-only and were not read, so any later action is not reflected.

Presentation (July 27)

  • Zachary Chrisco and Mary Ann Ocampo of Sasaki presented the Final Riverfront Development Strategic Plan. Director Cockley gave the staff update, followed by a brief Q and A with the Board.

Public comment (July 27)

  • Megan Fisher, a Bellepoint resident, raised concerns about how riverfront development would affect the neighborhood and noted an existing landslide at Major and Kentucky Avenue. Staff said the project will not affect Bellepoint and offered additional information.
  • Aaron Ashcraft also raised concerns about riverfront development and about connectivity from Capitol View Park to the Capitol.

Developer update (August 10)

  • Megan Walsen and Garyon Dening of Red Draw Development said Parcel C concepts, possibly multi-family housing, are being considered; discussions continue with staff and Sasaki on riverfront development.
