Commercial Conversion of 2953 NE Glisan Street House to Cafe

in process

A project to convert a 1905 American Foursquare triplex house located at 2953 NE Glisan Street in the Kerns neighborhood of Portland into a cafe and possibly a bookstore. The conversion involves changing the occupancy from residential (R-2) to commercial (B), making accessibility improvements, and installing kitchen facilities limited to cold assembly and reheating. The project includes interior renovations such as removing a tub, repiping a half bath, adding a kitchen, floor sinks, a floor drain, a mop sink with a grease interceptor, and a sump pump in the basement. The attic will remain closed off and not accessible to the public.
