TOWN CENTER ADVISORY COMMISSION AGENDA— October 14, 2020 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 1 oft CITY OF TIGARD TOWN CENTER ADVISORY COMMISSION Meeting Minutes September 9, 2020 Members Present: Scott Hancock, Renette Hier, Hemendra Mathur, Tom Murphy (Vice Chair),Tim Myshak, Kate Rogers (Chair), Ryan Ruggiero, Elise Shearer,Faez Soud, and Justin Watson (Ex Officio). Members Absent:Angeline Chong, Chris Haedinger, Teri Karren-Keith (Alternate), and Kadyn Prentice (Alternate). Staff Present: Redevelopment Project Manager Sean Farrelly, City Engineer Lori Faha, Project Planner Gary Pagenstecher, and Senior Administrative Specialist Joe Patton. Others Present: TCAC Council Liaison John Goodhouse,NHA Director of Real Estate Development Destin Ferdun, and NHA Housing Developer Josh Castillo. 1. CALL TO ORDER Chair Rogers called the meeting to order at 6:30 pm. The meeting was held remotely using MS Teams with a call-in number provided for the public. 2. CONSIDER MINUTES The August 19, 2020 TCAC Minutes were unanimously approved. 3. FOLLOW UP FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS Both the TTAC and TCAC letters were read at the Southwest Corridor (SWC) citizens advisory committee (CAC) meeting. Members were discussing how to encourage more transit-oriented development (TOD). Sean will ask if TriMet is interested in presenting on issues from the letter for thirty minutes in October. NHA will provide resident services, however it will not be memorialized in the development agreement or the lease. The development agreement provides for long term affordable housing. NHA does not know what the resident's future needs may be or how they will change. It is also not a common practice to include such requirements in a development agreement. 4. HOUSING ALONGSIDE THE SENIOR CENTER Northwest Housing Alternatives (NHA) received approval for funding from Washington County and will be going to Metro Council for their approval. The building will be positioned to minimize the impact on Senior Center parking and as far from current residential housing as possible. A large courtyard area between the building and the Senior Center will be created which can be utilized for events. Currently there are 48 existing and 28 proposed additional parking spots and a 58-unit building. The drawings are a concept design,with schematic design to start soon. Construction is twelve to fourteen months away. Most of the stormwater treatment is underground in the lower parking lot. Balconies will not be built as they are hard to weatherproof and often become a place for storage. An online open house will occur in October.When the date is set Commissioners will be notified. The plan is to take the lease and the DDA to Council in October or November. 5. TRIANGLE NATURAL RESOURCES/HYDROLOGY Lori shared a short video on Tigard's Red Rock Creek vision and a presentation on stormwater management in the Triangle. It included a summary of stormwater standards, alternative stormwater approaches, the 2018 stormwater master plan findings,the Tigard Triangle/Red Rock Creek study and what is next. Clean Water Page 1 of 2 TOWN CENTER ADVISORY COMMISSION September 9, 2020 Services (CWS) is the regional stormwater and sanitary sewer agency. They are developing the plan for the Red Rock Creek corridor. Gary noted that the trail planning must be coordinated with that plan.The distance from the Tigard city limits to the Fanno Creek Trail connection is approximately two miles. It will provide regional connectivity to the Fanno Creek Regional Trail,Tigard/Lake Oswego Trail, and the Portland southwest trail system. Two of the significant barriers to the trail are the requirement for a bridge over the new Wall St. and the railroad in the south and a bridge over Hwy. 217 in the north. There is a potential public/private collaboration to build the southern bridge. 6. CITY CENTER FUTURES AND SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT The draft document is not available but hopefully it can be shared at the next meeting. The TCDA decided continuing the Downtown District in its current boundaries and increasing the maximum indebtedness.The substantial amendment will have to be approved by voters. The remaining 2020 TCAC meetings will focus on the topic with a goal of putting the measure on the May 2021 ballot. 7. PROJECT UPDATES Sean briefly discussed the project updates included in the agenda packet. 8. TCAC AND ELECTIONS Sean reminded Commissioners that while they can identify themselves as individual members of the TCAC, they are restricted from campaigning on any ballot measures during Commission time nor can they represent their view as that of the TCAC. 9. TCAC 2021 LEADERSHIP The TCAC elections take place in January. Kate (Chair) and Tom (Vice Chair) will not be continuing in leadership roles. They proposed a nomination committee of two Commissioners to make recommendations at the December meeting. Kate gave a brief overview of responsibilities and offered to give more in depth details to any interested Commissioners. 10. LIAISON REPORTS A. At the TTAC meeting planning for an on-street crossing of the Fanno Creek trail at Scholls Ferry was discussed for times the trail underneath is flooded. 11. NON-AGENDA ITEMS A. An essential needs collection will take place September 26 at the Public Works yard. B. Food boxes are still available at St. Anthony's to anyone in need on Mondays and Thursdays. 12.

Joe Patton,TCAC Meeting Secretary Kate Rogers, Chair Page 2of2 � 0 l 1 September 11, 2020 To: Kate Rogers, Chair Tigard Town Center Advisory Commission (TCAC) Via email to Sean Farrelly, City of Tigard Redevelopment Project Manager Dear Ms. Rogers and TCAC, Thank you for your letter of September 3, 2020. The letter was shared with the Community Advisory Committee on September 3 and a copy will be distributed to the committee along with a copy of this letter. We appreciate the committee's spirit of collaboration toward our shared goals of maximizing transit ridership and supporting a safe and accessible transportation network that is thoughtfully integrated with existing and future land uses. The Tigard Transit Oriented Development(TOD) Station Optimization work plan outlines coordinated efforts for TriMet and City of Tigard to facilitate and encourage TOD around stations. Pursuant to this March 2020 agreement,staff and consultants from both jurisdictions are engaged in planning efforts to advance this ongoing work. One of the first tasks that all staff have been working on is evaluating each station location and its urban design elements to maximize TOD potential. For the Hall Blvd station, TriMet staff is currently analyzing the feasibility of recommendations from Tigard staff and consultants for repositioning the station, Park&Ride and operations and maintenance facility(OMF)to maximize development opportunities around the station area. Analysis also includes urban design, bicycle and pedestrian safety treatments for Hall Blvd consistent with ODOT's Blueprint for Urban Design. This work will focus heavily on safety for people crossing Hall Blvd and creating an inviting pedestrian connection between the station area and the larger downtown area. Outcomes from this work will be reflected in the project's 60%design. We appreciate the TCAC's interest and the invitation for staff to discuss these issues at your next meeting.
