United Way Senior Cottages
Driveway Approach Permits and Adjustments
Salem, Oregon 2022
BRAND provided land use and project management services to gain approval for Class 2 Adjustments and Driveway Approach Permits to accommodate the United Way Cottages United project. The project goals were cottage style housing on three properties focused on serving seniors in Salem, providing much needed low-income housing. On March 16th, 2022 the City of Salem adopted code revisions to be in compliance with House Bill 2001 which focuses on the missing middle housing and allows a more diverse and flexible housing type to be placed in single family zones throughout the city. BRAND partnered with United Way to be one of the first applications for such a development in the City.

Detroit Lake Development
Conditional Use Permit and Property Line Adjustment
Detroit, Oregon 2022
BRAND provided our client with land use services for a consolidated application including a property line adjustment/replat, conditional use permit, and a variance to the riparian buffer to reconfigure three platted lots into two properties for the future development of two single-family dwellings, each on their own property. Historically, the property was developed with a motel. The motel was lost in the devastating fire of 2020. BRAND's clients were very invested in the rehabilitation efforts taking place in the City of Detroit following the fire of 2020. Though the property was previously utilized as a commercial use, due to the existing features and surrounding uses, the property is better suited as a residential use.
