Bend Southeast Area Plan
Bend, OR · 2023
Client: City of Bend, Long Range Planning
Location: Bend, OR
Year: 2023
CP Role: Sub-consultant to Angelo Planning Group
Practice Area: Housing Policy
Team: Alex Joyce, Development Strategy; Victor Tran, Financial Analyst
The Challenge
Bend had just expanded its urban growth boundary and was planning new complete communities on the added land. The Southeast Area was largely undeveloped and lacked the roads, water, and sewer needed for a mix of uses, a range of housing types including multifamily, and a walkable, connected street network.
Our Approach
As a sub-consultant to Angelo Planning Group, we asked how much of that infrastructure the private market could carry, what the City would likely need to contribute, and what each financing option would trade away. We built a building-level financial analysis that tested how different financing packages would affect both development feasibility and housing affordability. The options included local improvement district assessments, supplemental system development charges, and utility surcharge fees.
Outcome
The City adopted a financing plan for the area, and development has begun in this new neighborhood.
