Village Green PUD

Swerhone Architecture was the prime consultant on this exciting project for Hood River, OR, planning and designing all aspects of this proposed development. This mixed-use site is located on a 27.7-acre site on the western edge of the City of Hood River.

The Planned Unit Development (PUD) is anticipating approximately 150 residential units. The plan provides an environment where people can live, work, and play with approximately 8 acres of associated green space through reduced lot sizes. Residential lots range from 5,000 SF to the smaller 2,000 SF townhouse lots. Homes follow the site’s natural contours, with views and solar access. The home designs are consistent with a rustic NW style using timber and stone.

Four types of residential properties are proposed for this development. Homes, approximately 2,400 SF–2,100 SF for detached, with 2,000 SF attached duplexes and townhomes, for a total of 13 acres in residential development. The plan provides pedestrian connectivity through a series of walking and hiking trails, with water features, parks, and retail opportunities as designated.

The commercial/retail components are located on approximately 0.5 acres at the northern end of the property, adjacent to the new County Club Road alignment. Retail is located on the ground floor, with professional offices and personal services generally located on the upper floors. The commercial buildings are oriented with massing placed to create a Village or Main Street pedestrian environment, with plans for a 5,000 SF brewpub. A service road runs directly north of the commercial/retail district for truck and delivery access. Vehicle parking is handled curbside and screened with berms and landscaping from adjacent residents.
