Dec.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly.The City will issue permits for the removal of hazardous trees. Inside the overlay, most trees that are not part of a landscaped area will need to be preserved. Most properties in the Natural Resource Overlay (NRO) were previously in a Habitat Conservation Area (HCA) or Environmentally Sensitive Resource/Restoration Area (ESRA). Some changes may need a land use permit if you have a very large lot or a stream or wetland on your lot. A property is separated from the resource by the road.A lot developed with a home is at least 5,000 feet and far enough away from a stream or wetland.There are no additional new property restrictions if: Some changes may need a geotechnical engineer to approve the design and may require a land use permit. Building a retaining wall under 4 feet high outside the Highly Sloped Area.Moving less than 10 cubic yards of earth outside the Highly Sloped Area.Altering or replacing structures but not changing the building footprint.There are no additional property restrictions if an owner is: Increased geotechnical review of development in highest risk areas.Promotion of biodiversity in mitigation efforts (more climate resiliency).Reduction of permanent disturbance areas.Robust density transfer to incentivize avoiding resource areas.
This project updated hillside, steep slope, stream and wetland, and habitat protections. Environmentally Sensitive Resources Area in Springwater.
Environmentally Sensitive Restoration Area in Pleasant Valley.Habitat Conservation Area Overlay District that protects streams and wetlands in most of Gresham.Hillside Physical Constraint Overlay District that protects steep slopes and hillsides.Floodplain Overlay District, revised in 2019 based on new Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) data.Together, the systems provide a network of green areas, wildlife habitat, streams, and forested slope protections.īefore this project, Gresham had three environmental overlays and two environmental zones: Environmental overlays are extra levels of protection in certain areas of the city to protect natural resources such as streams, wetland, and hillsides.
