  • Preserved grove of fir trees with campfire area and nearby sauna;
  • Centrally-located common building with kitchen for social gatherings and food processing projects, bike repair shop, laundry facilities, and more;
  • Charging stations for electric vehicles;
  • Homes that are solar-ready for PV panels and greywater-ready for irrigation;
  • Guesthouse for friends and family who come to visit; and
  • Community garden, picnic area, bike barn, and children’s play areas.

Project Approach

Cully Green presents another opportunity to model what we’re calling “voluntary inclusionary zoning.” Now that the State of Oregon (finally!) allows inclusionary zoning, cities can require new residential developments over a certain size to include a small percentage of affordable homes. We’re asking socially-conscious investors to help provide relatively inexpensive financing for this and other new developments in exchange for our voluntary inclusion of permanently affordable homes. To that end, we are working with Proud Ground and Living Cully to include 2-3 permanently affordable homes within this community for first time homebuyers at or below 80% of Median Family Income (with a sizable contribution from Orange Splot LLC per affordable unit).

Project Status

This project has received strong support from the Cully Association of Neighbors, and other advocates in support of increasing affordable homeownership in Cully. We have obtained approval for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zone Change to obtain R3 zoning for the whole site, received approval on building permits, and began construction. Construction is on-track to wrap up by November 2020.
