The applicant seeks approval to demolish the Historic Landmark Burnside Bridge, a historically significant resource which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.   The Type IV demolition review process will involve:

  • Historic Landmarks Commission advisory meeting – Monday, July 27, 2026, 1:30 PM: The Historic Landmarks Commission will review the proposal at a public meeting where members of the public may comment. Following the advisory meeting, comments or suggestions from the Historic Landmarks Commission may be offered in the form of a letter or testimony to City Council.
  • City Council hearing – Thursday, September 3, 2026, 2:00 PM: City Council will be the review body and make the final decision.  Staff will prepare a staff report with recommendations for City Council, who may adopt, modify, or reject it based on the information presented at the hearing.

Demolition review ensures the historic value of a building is considered and that there is an opportunity for the owner and community to consider alternatives to demolition.  The portion of the replacement bridge within the Skidmore-Old Town National Register Historic District along the west side of the Willamette River, will be required to complete a Historic Resource Review which will be a Type III procedure decided by the Historic Landmarks Commission.
