Question 1

What types of development projects does Cascadia Planning manage?

Accepted Answer

Our project experience includes single-family residential subdivisions, middle-housing developments (such as duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and cottage clusters), commercial properties, senior housing facilities, public infrastructure, and rural agricultural or forest land applications.

Question 2

How does Oregon’s Middle Housing law (HB 2001) affect residential sites?

Accepted Answer

Oregon’s Middle Housing legislation permits higher-density residential options (including duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and cottage courts) within areas historically restricted to single-family homes, creating infill development opportunities where local standards are met.

Question 3

Can Cascadia Planning assist with environmentally constrained sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many development sites in the Pacific Northwest feature challenging topography, steep slopes, wetland overlays, or complex access requirements. We focus on developing practical site layouts that address environmental regulations while meeting client objectives.

Question 4

What is the typical timeframe for securing land use approvals?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on the approval type and jurisdiction. Administrative reviews generally take 2 to 4 months, whereas applications requiring public hearings (such as subdivisions, conditional uses, or rezoning) typically range from 6 to 12 months.
