I've grown concerned about the amount of trash, excrement and drug needles laying around, specifically around the gazebo.As the weather improves so will the increase in traffic especially children.This combination of children, dogs and drug needles is a tragedy waiting to happen. During my walks, I've spoken to residents living adjacent to the park and have heard them describe packages being hidden in shrubs and deliveries being made in the early hours of the day. I've witnessed public urination multiple times and seen bags stuffed next to trees. Physical and hygienic safety of all park users needs to evaluation and I want to support an action plan.

FeedBackText= Dear Tigard City Council, My home sits across the street from East Butte Park and the Rise Church parking lots. In the last 6 months, I have experienced an increasing amount of suspicious behavior, likely drinking and drug use related. 1) East Butte Park, under the gazebo, is commonly in use by various people who appear to be intoxicated or under the influence. My children have found discarded needles and other paraphernalia.A used condom was also found by my 3 year old son. I am uncomfortable taking my kids to the park anymore. 2)As our home is roughly 100+years old, we can hear almost everything from the park to the church overflow parking lot. Numerous times, in the dead of night (tam-yam) We have been startled out of sleep by intoxicated/under-the- influence rants of persons in the area. One person, in the church parking lot, was so un-intelligible that his rant went on for 5 minutes, and we were only able to discern the last sentence of his monologue "On the day we all die..."To say we are disturbed by our neighborhood and the safety of our young children would be an understatement. 3) during December,what seemed to be some sort of drug deal or pick up happened 2-3 nights,where cars would come into the overflow church parking lot, or park beside it(With their stereo's on full blast, or old car engines revving super loud). I would wake up and watch from the window as someone would get out of the car and retrieve items/cardboard boxes from under bushes, return to the car and sit for 5 more minutes,then drive away. Many neighborhood kids use this parking lot as a place to ride bikes... 4) 1 constantly find empty beer cans littered from my house *(Facing Inez) down 103rd to the park. It has begun to feel like we live in a dumpster for drunks and drug addicts. Until recently, I have been too afraid to report these things to the police, but with the encouragement of neighbors, am presenting this to you now.

Block sender Name=John Snyder EmailAddress=johnsnyder65@gmail.com Address = 10330 SW View Terrace,Tigard, OR 97224 Topic= Public Comments Yes, I support=Yes FeedBackText = Good evening, City Council, My name is John Snyder and I live near 103rd Ave and Canterbury Lane, next to the John Tigard House and East Butte Heritage Park. Over the past three months, I have become concerned about an increase in drug use, drug dealing, and indecent exposure in the park.Just last night while walking near the park at 11pm, I was offered drugs by a man I had never seen before. Over the past three months, park staff,Tigard Police, and neighbors have reported finding many needles around the park gazebo and restrooms, used condoms, and human feces.These behaviors of dangerous littering and indecent exposure must come to an end. My neighborhood park is no longer a safe place during the day and especially at night. Anyone could be pricked with a needle and contract a deadly infection. If I had children, I would not feel comfortable sending them there to play. My tax dollars are funding a park that is dangerous and unusable. Furthermore, it is my belief that a deadly overdose recently occurred in the park, as there was a memorial wreath and stone placed in the pines three days ago, and the family of a person who recently overdosed contacted the City of Tigard to ask permission to plant a tree in this exact spot in his or her memory.Town officials are currently looking into more details to confirm this. I propose the following solutions to reestablish the park as a safe space: (1) More effort must be put into connecting those using drugs or camping in the park with addiction recovery services; (2) Park hours need to be established and enforced; and (3)The city should create a Park Ranger position, as exists in Tualatin and other nearby cities,to enforce park rules. Thank you for your consideration, John Snyder 716-983-1114 Client IP = 73.164.130.16 1 From: noreply@revize.com Sent: Tuesday, February 2, 2021 9:40 AM To: Carol Krager Cc: Caroline Patton Subject: Public Comments Caution!This message was sent from outside your organization.

These behaviors coincide with the over night shelter at Calvin Presbysterian/Rise Church. I very frequently walk the park and this beautiful quiet neighborhood with my dog.The behaviors that have developed in the area are not what this neighorhood or park have experienced in past years. I have found several piles of human feces, evidence of drug use, I have a video, liquor bottles, and trash sometimes all over.This morning I was informed that someone recently died of a drug overdose in the park.This is not acceptable! Many are afraid to enter the park due to the "camping"that occurs ALL day long when the shelter lets out in the morning. My biggest fear is that after the shelter is over in mid March that those "camping" all day will call squatters rights and the issue will never be resolved. In addition,twice there have been those from the shelter sleeping on 106th Ave during the day.Also not acceptable. I would expect our elected city council find immediate resolution to our concerns. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time.

When weather permits, we like taking our grandchildren to the park and enjoy walking through the park ourselves. We have been disturbed by what we have encountered at the park in the last few months. Adults appear to be just hanging out at the gazebo area, smoking and leaving trash, cigarette butts and worse. We have heard of drug activities, discarded needles and homeless sleeping in the gazebo, and a possible death in the park! Just this morning we went on a walk through he park and encountered a park employee shoveling human feces from the gazebo! (The employee was very helpful and answered questions as best he could.)Also, while we were talking with the park employee one of the homeless men the employee had talked to earlier, sat at a nearby table and stared at us the whole time. - it was very uncomfortable, HAS THERE BEEN A DEATH IN THE PARK? IF SO,WAS IT DRUG RELATED? This is a very big deal, and if that happened,the details should be shared with the community. If it didn't happen, why is there a memorial wreath among the trees at the park? A plan needs to be made, and implemented, ensuring that the park will be safe and available to all Tigard residents. At this point I do not feel safe walking through the park, and I will most certainly not take my grandchildren there until I have been assured that it is safe. Please help!

Recent activity at nearby East Butte Heritage Park relating to inappropriate and dangerous activity by a number of people "camping "at the park shelter/gazebo has given our neighborhood much concern.The use of drugs, in particular needles that are in and around park grounds are not acceptable.This park is used and frequented by many families, especially young children including our grandchildren and those of many neighbors.The illegitimate use of this park;the camping after hours, human waste and unsafe and deleterious conditions are an intimidation to those of us who support our Tigard Parks. Our neighborhood has long been a partner in Tigard's outreach to alternative living methods.This past Christmas holiday our street donated at considerable expense food, clothing and personal care items to every one of the residents of the RISE homeless community shelter. We all live next door to the Luke Dorf neighbor home and are just up the street from the CODA home. We know and see the residents of alternative living units and accept them because the programs provide a necessary service for those in need. However,the illegal, dangerous and intimidating activities ongoing at East Butte Park are not an acceptable alternative lifestyle and must end; please address this issue quickly and resolutely.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommend the TCDA Board holdthe joint meeting with the Town Center Advisory Commission to discuss its 2020 Annual Report and draft 2021 goals. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The Town Center Advisory Commission (ICAC) makes recommendations to the Board of the Town Center Development Agency (ICDA) on urban renewal policy, budget and implementation measures for both the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal and the City Center urban renewal areas. The TCAC meets annually with the Board of the TCDA to share information and receive feedback. The staff liaison to the TCAC is Sean Farrelly. The TCAC leadership elected at the January meeting are Chair Ryan Ruggiero, and Vice-Chair Scott Hancock. Two items will inform the joint meeting discussion - the TCAC's 2020 Annual Report, and the 2021 draft goals. The 2020 Annual Report was previously provided in the December 3, 2020 Council Newsletter. The TCAC's specific recommendations for TCDA in 2021 are included in the 2020 Annual Report: •Mass Transit - the SW Corridor project was a focus for the TCAC in 2020 and we were disappointed to see the funding measure defeated. However, we view this project as critical to the urban renewals districts and hope to see future progress. o Encourage Metro and TriMet to continue to explore ways of funding the SW Corridor o Work with Metro and TriMet to ensure mass transit is available and supports walkability and connectivity between the Tigard Triangle and Downtown Tigard • Continue to explore ways to finance a bike and pedestrian crossing over Highway 217 to provide connectivity between the two districts •Implement A New Tigard Triangle: Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Strategy Plan: o Continue to partner with developers and other agencies to increase the supply of affordable housing units o Land in the Tigard Triangle is going to become increasingly expensive and difficult to acquire, so we would like to see land acquisition prioritized in the implementation plan especially for parks including pocket parks o Prioritize the rehabilitation of Red Rock Creek for trails and storm water management •Develop opportunities for equitable business development in Downtown Tigard and Triangle through urban renewal funding and other funding sources such as grants. The TCAC developed draft goals for 2021 at the January 13th meeting. The TCAC will present and review these draft goals with the TCDA Board before finalizing them at the February 10th meeting. The TCAC's adopted goals, as well as the City Center Redevelopment Action Plan and the New Tigard Triangle Planning for Equitable Development documents will guide staff's implementation of the urban renewal plans. OTHER ALTERNATIVES N/A COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS Tigard City Council Goals 2019-2021 Goal 2: Invest and connect key areas of the city to promote economic growth and community vitality. Strategy 2.2: Continue to make Downtown Tigard a place people want to be by making substantial progress on projects that attract new residential and business investment. City Strategic Plan 2020-2025 Priority 3 — Ensure development advances the vision. Objective 3.1: Pursue land development that maximizes public health benefits while increasing connection between people and community destinations. Objective 3.2: Focus development-associated resources in parts of the city that have the capacity to serve, house, employ, and attract the most people with the least impact on Tigard's natural systems and the climate. Objective 3.3: Understand the effects of development on vulnerable Tigard residents and mitigate these impacts within projects and over time. Objective 3.4: Proactively intervene as necessary to meet the housing needs of all community members. DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION February 4, 2020 -Joint meeting with TCAC Attachments TCAC Annual Report 2020 TCAC Presentation 2020 Annual Report of the Town Center Advisory Commission to the Board of the Town Center Development Agency December 1,2020 The Town Center Advisory Commission (TCAC) adopted annual goals and objectives for calendar year 2020.The annual agenda for the TCAC was largely devoted to developing and implementing these goals. Unfortunately, our April and May meetings were cancelled due to concerns around COVID 19,but we have been able to meet virtually starting in June. This report is organized around the adopted 2020 TCAC Goals and Objectives. Aspirational Goal: Facilitate opportunities for development that promotes walkability, equity, and connectivity across both urban renewal districts. Outcomes The completion of the Tigard Street Heritage Trail is a significant addition to Tigard's walkability and adds to the network of trails and sidewalks that connect people to the downtown area. One of the TCAC recommendations last year was to support a multi-modal path across Highway 217 to connect both urban renewal districts. We are happy to see ongoing support from Metro and the City of Tigard with the grant application for funding. The defeat of the ballot measure to fund the SW Corridor project will complicate this project. Goal 1. Downtown: Identify new revitalization projects &drive existing projects to completion in the Downtown Urban Renewal District. Outcomes Progress has been made on several existing projects: • The Alongside Senior Center affordable housing project hit a key milestone with Northwest Housing Alternatives (NHA) receiving approval for funding from Washington County's share of the Metro housing bond. They will be applying for other sources of funding. There have been a series of community listening sessions and based on that feedback 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. • Another area of focus for the TCAC this year has been the Universal Plaza. We participated in selection of the consultant for the activation, design and engineering of Universal Plaza and receive regular briefings on their progress. We also have members that have volunteered as Design Advisors, providing direct input into the design concept. While activation looks a little different due to the need for social distancing, exciting things are happening in the space. • The Main Street at Fanno project continues to move forward and we look forward to breaking ground in 2021. The TCAC has been working on the City Center Futures project and Substantial Amendment to the Downtown urban renewal district. In July,the TCAC participated in the Downtown visioning workshop, to help update the Downtown Vision. We also wrote a letter of support for the Downtown Reimagined TGM grant and that award was made in September. The Urban Renewal Improvement Programs Joint Committee made two new matching grant awards: 1) 12386 SW Main St. (Cafe Allegro Building) and 2) Shawn Gardner Dance Studio. Unfortunately,the purchase of the Main Street property is will not be moving forward but work at the dance studio project is underway. These projects continue to revitalize the Downtown district and draw more people into the city center. Goal 2. Tigard Triangle: Participate in the development of the Tigard Triangle Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Project. Outcomes As part of the Tigard Triangle strategy,the TCAC continues to advocate for the acquisition of land for parks and other infrastructure requirements. In March,we received a briefing on the Parks Master Plan with an emphasis on requirements for our urban renewal districts. In September,we heard from Lori Faha, City Engineer, on the Tigard Triangle Natural Resources and Hydrology. It is critical that we preserve and improve Red Rock Creek both from a storm water management perspective and as part of Tigard's network of nature trails. We were also briefed on A New Tigard Triangle Phase 2 and SW 72nd Ave plans. Goal 3. SW Corridor: Consider, investigate and recommend specific planning components associated with the adopted SW Corridor alignment and station locations in both downtown and the Triangle. Outcomes Throughout the year,the TCAC as received briefings on the SW Corridor project from TriMet and Metro. Our biggest concern is the design of pedestrian crossings and transit- oriented design (TOD). In August,we sent a letter to TriMet outlining our concerns: • Maximizing TOD opportunities in the Triangle and on Hall Blvd • Integration of the Hall Blvd. station with downtown Tigard • Replacement of jobs lost due to the location of the Hall Blvd station and Operations and Maintenance Facility (OMF) TriMet responded to our letter and presented at our October meeting. We will continue to work with them to address ongoing concerns on transit-oriented design of the Tigard stations ,when design of the project starts up again. Goal 4.Affordable Housing: Recommend specific programs and policies to City staff and Council that directly affect, support and encourage the development and preservation of affordable housing downtown and in the Triangle. Outcomes Affordable housing is a key priority for the TCAC and we are excited by the number of projects currently planned or under construction. • The Alongside Senior Center affordable senior housing project received Metro Housing Bond funding in September and groundbreaking is planned for 2023 • CPAH's Red Rock Creek Commons construction is complete and they are in the process of leasing. TCDA funds will also fund pre-development assistance to CPAH for potential new affordable project off Hwy99W • The New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development Project ranks affordable housing as a priority in the near term (next 5 years). The FY 20-21 TCDA Budget includes $1 million in affordable housing development assistance for the Triangle • In the Triangle there is currently one affordable project in lease-up, one under construction, one in planning review, and one in pre-planning. Goal 5. Equitable Business Development: Recommend specific programs and policies to City staff and Council that directly affect, support and encourage equitable business development downtown and in the Triangle. Outcomes Business and development assistance ranked as a near term priority in the New Tigard Triangle report. Business and development assistance program development with a focus on equity will be a part of Phase 2 of the project. The FY 20-21 TCDA Budget includes a $75K Equitable Opportunities Fund allocation in the City Center TIF District. The New Tigard Triangle project includes a memo on Business Assistance with a discussion of equitable business development. Citywide, Economic Development staff has extensively engaged with Microenterprise Services of Oregon (MESO) and Adelante Mujares on equitable business development.

Business Meeting One Meeting Date: 02/02/2021 Length (in minutes): 15 Minutes Agenda Title: TOWN CENTER DEVELOPMENT AGENCY: Consider Adoption of an Implementation Strategy for the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan Submitted By: Sean Farrelly, Community Development Item Type: Resolution Meeting Type: Town Center Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Development Agency Public Hearing: No Publication Date: Information ISSUE Shall the Board of the Town Center Development Agency adopt a resolution accepting "A New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development" as an implementation strategy for the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan? STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommends approval of the resolution that adopts the report as a new implementation strategy for the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The goal of"A New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development" is to provide direction for public investments that support equitable development in the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Area. The implementation strategy will ensure that local residents and businesses have the opportunity to benefit from the area's economic transformation. The report will serve as a marketing tool to current and prospective community partners, employers, and developers, as well as a guiding document to the City to strategically plan for specific infrastructure investments through an equity lens. This project, largely funded by a Metro Planning and Development Grant, was completed over the last two years. The project had two phases: 1. Community Outreach and Equitable UR Implementation Strategy 2. Infrastructure Investment Plan, Project Concept Planning and Program Development. In Phase 1, conducted from February- October 2019 equity criteria were developed with substantial community input, including two focus groups, four community meetings, three TCAC subcommittee meetings, and several stakeholder interviews. The criteria, along with a financial plan and a model that determined which projects had high development impact, resulted in prioritized list of projects from the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan. The following projects were identified as the near-term (1-5 years) priorities: •Atlanta Street New Street Phase 1 •Affordable Housing Investment •Park Investments •72nd Avenue Modified Street (North of Dartmouth) •Business and Developer Assistance •Hwy. 99W Modified Street (Seed funding for a larger regionally funded improvement project.) •Transportation Study (To evaluate the functioning of the transportation system to refine the scope of various transportation projects and inform project prioritization.) The TCAC endorsed the UR Implementation Strategy at the October 2019 meeting. The top two ranking projects - Affordable Housing and Parks were allocated substantial funding in the FY 20-21 TCDA budget. Phase 2 advanced preliminary designs and program development for several near-term, high-priority projects. These projects will form part of the Triangle's infrastructure investment plan. •Atlanta Street Streetscape Design and 70th Avenue Intersection. The extension of Atlanta Street is critical to improving the street network in the Tigard Triangle. The first phase of this extension is from 69th Avenue to 72nd Avenue. The Atlanta Street concept includes vehicle travel lanes, dedicated bicycle lanes, 12 foot sidewalks, and landscaping. The Atlanta Street and 70th Avenue intersection concept includes several important elements to improve access, connectivity, and economic vitality, including parking, landscaping, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and stormwater infrastructure. With the uncertainly of the SW Corridor project, many aspects of the plan can still be implemented. • SW 70th Avenue New Street Concept Plan. The 70th Avenue concept includes four context-specific sections that account for physical conditions, development opportunities, and the Southwest Corridor light-rail locally preferred alignment. The concept includes pedestrian infrastructure, shared right-of-way for cars and bicycles, stormwater infrastructure, green space, and the proposed light rail line. The plan also has a concept for the Elmhurst intersection, where the light rail tracks would turn west. Despite the uncertainly of the SW Corridor project, many aspects of the plan can still be implemented. •Park Concept Plans. Neighborhood parks and open space as well as pedestrian, bicycle, and trail networks are needed throughout the Triangle. This need will increase as more residents move into the area. Concepts were developed for three properties in the Triangle to determine their preliminary suitability as parks. Suitable park land will be a challenge to acquire in the Triangle due to increasing land values. •Multi-use paths. Two concepts were developed Tigard's goals of connectivity and multimodal accessibility in the Triangle- how the elevated multi-use path over Hwy 217, (envisioned to be part of the SW Corridor project) would connect with the future Red Rock Creek Trail system and a regional trail connection of 70th Avenue to an existing path in the southern tip of the Triangle. •Business Assistance Program Development. To encourage and incentivize business expansion in the Triangle, a proposed Business Assistance Program will offer grant funding for (1) predevelopment services, and (2) business and building improvements. The project made recommendations on program guidelines and criteria. The program will encourage investment that supports economic opportunity and wealth creation opportunities, improve access to job and workforce development, and enhance the Triangle's cultural diversity. •Re/Development Assistance for Affordable Housing & Mixed-use Program. This program is intended to increase private and nonprofit investment in housing and mixed-use development units, incentivize a higher quality of development than would otherwise occur, foster incremental development, and assist developers who may be lacking significant or traditional financial resources. The program was fleshed out with criteria to score applications for the assistance with priority for provision of affordable housing. The TCAC was briefed on the Phase 2 concepts and proposed programs at the January and August 2020 meetings. Supplemental grant funding (awarded as an addendum to address the challenge of obtaining public input in the time of COVID) is allowing additional remote focus groups on potential amenities in future parks in the Triangle area. This will be completed in late February. A score card with a series of equity metrics was developed and will allow progress to be tracked annually.

From the services they provide to the quality of their infrastructure, cities and counties go to great lengths to maximize the economic impact of scarce public dollars. However, the benefits that result from public investments do not always accrue equally. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Portland region where inequitable impacts of major public investments, such as light rail, have traditionally been reacted to rather than planned for. With its newest urban renewal' district, the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Area (URA), the City of Tigard is getting ahead of the curve. Insufficient and incomplete public infrastructure, lack of amenities, and limited connectivity have deterred private investment in the Tigard Triangle. The creation of the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Area and the accompanying adopted plan set the foundation for alleviating these issues. However, a plan requires implementation, and the City of Tigard now has the opportunity to make positive, long-lasting impacts by pursuing an equitable approach to public investments. A New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development is a community-driven urban renewal implementation strategy that enables Tigard to plan for a vibrant area where a diverse array of people of all ages, abilities, and incomes can live and work within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and parks. The strategy helps to ensure that urban renewal has equitable outcomes, rather than simply acting as a driver of economic development. This report documents this innovative approach that combines qualitative community conversations with quantitative scenario modeling to prioritize public investments and identify critical actions and recommendations for implementation. The implementation strategy involves two key phases: 1. Community Workshops and Equity Criteria. 2. Project Concept Planning and Program Development. This report serves as a summary of both phases. It serves as a marketing tool to current and prospective community partners, employers, and developers, as well as a guiding document to the City to strategically plan for specific infrastructure investments through an equity lens. 1 Urban Renewal is a state-authorized, redevelopment and finance program designed to help communities improve and redevelop areas that are physically deteriorated,suffering economic stagnation, unsafe or poorly planned. 6 A New Tigard Triangle Background The Tigard Triangle is located in the northeast corner of the city,just east of Downtown Tigard and seven miles south of downtown Portland. Its name comes from the triangle that is created by the roadways that surround it: I- 5 to the east, Highway 217 to the southwest, and Highway 99W (Pacific Highway)to the northeast. Figure 1.Tigard Triangle Regional Context Hillsboro Portland Beaverton r Milwaukee Tigard ; Lake Oswego 0 , _,.Xing City Durham Gladstone Rivergrove Tualatin IV West Linn Sherwood ;-- 94w ,Oreg6n City Wilsonville;' 1.; 2-mi Newberg Source:Metro RLIS,LCG A New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development Page 2 New Tigard Triangle At about 550 acres, roughly the size of Downtown Portland, the Tigard Triangle is full of potential but lacks basic infrastructure. The Triangle can support future growth but needs help overcoming the existing barriers to development. In 2016, the City adopted the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan (Plan) to remove these barriers and build projects that implement the vision established by the 2015 Tigard Triangle Strategic Plan' by utilizing tax increment financing (TIF) as a source of funding. The City subsequently solicited a consultant team to develop an implementation strategy for the Urban Renewal Plan through the lens of equitable development. This effort has been named "A New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development." What is an Implementation Strategy? An implementation strategy is a document that guides the City's investment decisions to translate the community's "vision"for the Triangle into a "reality." It incorporates the goals and objectives of the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan, adopted by City Council in December 2016 and approved by Tigard voters in May 2017, into a set of strategic phased actions that the City should take to implement the Plan. What is Equitable Development? Equitable development is a positive development strategy that ensures everyone participates in and benefits from the area's economic transformation—especially low-income residents, communities of color, immigrants, and others at greater risk of being adversely affected by new growth and development. It requires an intentional focus on eliminating inequities and barriers and making accountable and catalytic investments. "Equitable development" refers to a triple-bottom-line approach to involve and accommodate people of all incomes, races, and ethnicities Equity in the development processes that shape their communities. It is a development strategy that ensures everyone has the opportunity to benefit from an area's economic transformation by dismantling barriers and expanding opportunities. Why Now? Environment Economy Tigard has experienced an unprecedented level of growth over the past two decades and is now faces a major public investment in the Southwest Corridor Light Rail project. An equitable development strategy is critical to ensure the benefits of this growth and investment extend to all members of the community and any negative impacts are mitigated. 'The long-range land use and development vision for the Tigard Triangle is outlined in the Tigard Comprehensive Plan and further defined in the Tigard Triangle Strategic Plan,which was developed with extensive public engagement and technical analysis in 2015.The Strategic Plan describes the desired scale and design of development and identified the need for pedestrian amenities, multimodal transportation improvements, public spaces, housing,and other community amenities. The Strategic Plan also recognizes urban renewal as a key strategy. i A New Tigard Triangle Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project The Southwest Corridor Light Rail project is a proposed MAX line that will connect Downtown Portland to Tualatin via the Tigard Triangle. Construction of the line is proposed for the late 2020s.This timing provides the City of Portland with a significant opportunity to construct several projects in the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan to coincide with this major infrastructure investment.The proposed alignment and the two station locations proposed in the Tigard Triangle is shown below.

Equitable implementation requires a clear strategy and deliberate process, which served as the primary goal for the first of two phases of A New Tigard Triangle, as summarized below. DevelopedDeveloped Established Evaluated .. Evaluation Detailed Urban ProjectsAgainst Financial Scored Projects Criteria Renewal Project Criteria Constraints for Prioritized List (Budget) Project List The first phase focused entirely on building long-term capacity and support by creating opportunities for inclusive participation through public events and a series of community-driven subcommittee meetings and workshops. These efforts were successful in part because of the engagement of community advocates and leaders who understood the need to advance the Equitable Urban Renewal Strategy in the Tigard Triangle. A core objective of this first phase included developing equity-based criteria to serve as the basis for prioritizing the City of Tigard's urban renewal investments in the Triangle. Each of the projects and programs in the Urban Renewal Plan was scored against these equity criteria and prioritized to ensure the resulting project list is grounded in the community's vision and needs for the Triangle. This process helps align evaluation criteria with the urban renewal plan objectives so that they function as a unified evaluation framework. Focus GroupsPubkc 0 UrbanMeetings Subcommitee Meetings Principles• Equitable Renewal L Plan Goals and Refinerne Development L_ OIA-_ —.MA The resulting project list provides the City with a list of near-term investment priorities, including larger transportation and infrastructure projects that build development capacity in the Triangle, as well as investments for parks, affordable housing, and development assistance. Specific projects include SW 701h Avenue, SW 72nd Avenue,the OEA Park(planning and design), SW Atlanta Street, Multi-use Paths, and Re/Development Assistance and Business Assistance programs. Phase 2 of this project involved developing concepts and implementation strategies for these projects and programs. -i AN aw Tigard Triangle Existing Conditions The 2016 Urban Renewal Plan summarizes the existing physical, social, and economic conditions in the Tigard Triangle. Many of the conditions from 2016 remain the same in 2020 and continue to contribute to several barriers to development, including a lack of walkability, vacant lots, a lack of housing and neighborhood uses and services,flooding,traffic congestion, and broken sewer lines. This section briefly describes the regulatory, physical, and market conditions in the Triangle. Regulatory context The zoning within the Tigard Triangle is,for the most part, either General Commercial (C-G) or Triangle Mixed-Use (TMU).TMU is subject to the City's recently implemented 'lean code.'The lean code is aimed to spur additional development in the area and create a pedestrian-friendly area.The zoning makes it easier for developers to receive approval for their projects by streamlining the approval process and reducing or eliminating development standards. The zoning allows for properties to evolve incrementally while mitigating some of the issues that have made it difficult for development to occur in the Triangle in the past,such as small and irregular lots, topography, and financial barriers. Physical Conditions Topography. While much of the Triangle is generally flat,the northeastern portion of the project area includes some steeper sections. In this area,the topography generally slopes down and away from Pacific Highway and SW Atlanta Street to the Red Rock Creek corridor. South of SW Atlanta Street,the land slopes generally to the west, with the greatest grade change occurring near SW Dartmouth Street. Infrastructure.The City of Tigard provides stormwater and sanitary sewer for the project area, while the Tualatin Valley Water District(TVWD) provides drinking water.The City of Tigard maintains the stormwater system in the project area.According to the City, all stormwater appears to drain into Red Rock Creek. This runoff scours the creek bed and undermines sanitary lines located in the stream corridor. Road Network.The street grid is a critical component in developing a more pedestrian-focused system and mixed- use development pattern. Internally,the street network in the Triangle is somewhat of a grid, although some larger developments limit extending the street grid without impacts to either buildings or parking areas.The Triangle is also surrounded by highways, with primary access from OR 99W on the north side of the Triangle.The primary arterial through the Triangle is SW 72nd Avenue, linking OR 99W and OR 217. Market conditions Multifamily housing.Tigard has a moderately sized multifamily inventory,with around 7,200 units. Tigard rents are a notch below Portland's overall average and there is growing attention from developers and institutional investors. Several large multifamily developments delivered over the past few years. Local development is incentivized through the presence of several Opportunity Zones,the Tigard/Lake Oswego Enterprise Zone, and the City of Tigard's Vertical Housing Development Zone.The latter offers a tax exemption for new construction, up to 80% per year over the first 10 years, for multi-story mixed-use development.This is open to market-rate as well as affordable housing in Tigard's downtown and most of the Tigard Triangle. A New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development Page 6 6 A New Tigard Triangle Employment.Tigard boasts an array of corporate tenants occupying midsized footprints. Vacancies are consistently higher than the metro rate, despite limited development throughout the past decade. Elevated vacancies have been especially volatile in the past few years. Asking rents are below Portland's average but rent growth is well above metro performance. Retail. While some retail space has been delivered over the past few years in Tigard, developers at present are not particularly active. Retail vacancies in Tigard were slightly elevated relative to the five-year average during the fourth quarter, and they trended upwards in the past year.The rate also sits above the overall market's average. Meanwhile, retail rents have risen by 2.8%in the past 12 months (from August 2019 through September 2020). �A New Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Projects As described in the 2016 Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan,the City of Tigard is pursuing a series of capital projects and programs in the Tigard Triangle.The Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan outlines four specific project categories—transportation, utilities, public spaces, and development assistance The following pages describe the projects for which concepts were developed, including new and improved streets and intersections, parks, and development assistance programs. Each project includes a sample of the concepts developed. Cost estimates were developed for most.The full design set for each project can be found in the Appendix. Figure 3.

A New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development Page 8 6 A New Tigard Triangle Transportation Project Concepts The project team developed concepts for four transportation-related projects, including 701h Avenue, Atlanta Street, and two intersections. Atlanta Street Streetscape Design The extension of Atlanta Street is critical to improving the street network in the Tigard Triangle. The first phase of this extension is from 69th Avenue to 72nd Avenue. A potential second phase may include a western extension from 72nd into the theater property and may occur in conjunction with the redevelopment of the site. Phase 1 is related to potential parks projects, development projects,the SW Corridor, 72nd Ave, and Red Rock Creek, which may all provide additional impetus for project development As shown in the following cross-section,Atlanta Street is proposed to include vehicle travel lanes, dedicated bicycle lanes, 12 feet sidewalks, and landscaping.A wooded area to the north of Atlanta Street provides open space opportunities, and to the south are potential redevelopment sites and/or stormwater infrastructure.

A New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development Page 10 -i AN aw Tigard Triangle 70th Avenue Streetscape Design The proposed concept for SW 70th Avenue (between Atlanta Street and south of Hampton Street connecting to a planned trail) incorporates elements from: • The Tigard Triangle Streetscape Plan street cross-section, • The TriMet FEIS design for light rail, as applicable, • Concepts for 70th Ave developed at Southwest Corridor TAC/Urban Design meetings, • CEA park concept(s) for sections of the road adjacent to the OEA property, • Stormwater management elements per current CWS and Tigard standards, • Site topography based on existing LIDAR information, and • Planned trail alignments at the southern end of 70th Ave. The 70th Avenue concept includes four context-specific sections that account for physical conditions, development opportunities, and the proposed Southwest Corridor light-rail alignment. The concept includes pedestrian infrastructure, shared right-of-way for cars and bicycles, stormwater infrastructure, green space, and the proposed light rail line. It is expected that the first phase will include streetscape improvements and required stormwater infrastructure,followed by a linear stormwater facility and pedestrian amenities as private development occurs.This linear facility is expected to improve environmental conditions, create public space, and facilitate economic opportunities.

Source:MIG, Inc. 6 A New Tigard Triangle Parks Concepts More parks and open space are needed throughout the Triangle, and this need will surely increase as more residents move into the area.The Strategic Plan identified a need for up to two neighborhood parks in addition to the natural amenities in the Triangle, and the pedestrian, bicycle, and trail networks within the Triangle are essential for connecting the park space and various parts of the Triangle to one another, as well as for providing regional connections to the larger bicycle and pedestrian system that will connect existing and future neighborhoods to services, recreation, and transit. Parks, plazas, and greenways may include restrooms, recreational facilities, public art, wayfinding, gateway installations, and/or district signage to create a clear identity for the Triangle as a fun and diverse place to live and visit. Early investments in parks, trails, and open space may require funding for land acquisition or direct improvements. OEA/Atlanta Park The Oregon Education Associated owns a significant tract of land located between SW 72nd Ave and SW 68th Ave, next to their offices on SW Atlanta Street. A park concept was developed for the undeveloped area adjacent to SW 72nd Ave. Design work included an evaluation of the potential recreational uses of the site, considering topography, natural resources, and proximity to adjacent existing and potential future development, as well as the park land needs being identified in the Parks Master Plan effort. These efforts helped determine which portions of the site are likely to be left in a natural state,which could be developed with park amenities, including hardscape/plaza, and which portion, if any, could be developed. The resulting concept incorporates a variety of active and passive recreation options, opportunities for nature play, and considerations for the development of the future Red Rock Creek Trail. Red Rock Creek flows through the northern portion of the area and the future Atlanta Street extension is to the south.The area's potential for development is limited due to the steep slopes and wetland areas, but there is significant potential to implement trails throughout the area to align with the Red Rock Creek restoration work and provide a small recreation area in the southwest of the site. The concept design includes gateways and signage, planting areas,trails (paved and dirt), bike infrastructure, planting areas, basketball courts, and site furnishings, among other elements. The cost estimate for the proposed concept is approximately$2.7 million.

The Clinton Street&70th Avenue site is approximately one acre of useable space adjacent to assumed streetscape improvements and proposed light rail on 70th Avenue.With slopes ranging from about three to nine percent,the site will require some regrading and retaining walls to maximize recreation space and provide accessible walking paths.The park concept includes sports-oriented active recreation options, which may involve walking trails, sports facilities,flexible open space, picnic areas, water features, restrooms, playground, lighting, and parking. The Franklin Street&66th Avenue site is approximately 2.5 acres. It is relatively flat, with slopes ranging from approximately two to four percent.The concept plan includes the preservation of at least 50 percent of the existing oak tree canopy.There are limited opportunities for recreation because of tree preservation, but concept elements include pathways, benches, picnic areas, signage, small open spaces, a parking area, bike parking, lighting, and trailhead amenities.

A selection of relevant development incentives and programs is provided below. Tigard Triangle • Re/Development Assistance Program (RDAP) is intended to increase private and nonprofit investment in housing units, incentivize a higher quality of development than would otherwise occur without the grants, foster incremental development, and encourage a diversity of land uses in the urban renewal area through two primary grant programs: Predevelopment Services and Development Assistance. The RDAP is designed to help bridge financial project gaps to intent desired development types, as well as to increase opportunities for developers who may be lacking significant or traditional financial resources. • Triangle Business Assistance Program (BAP) is intended to encourage and incentivize business expansions and startups that create or retain job opportunities in Tigard and add to a vibrant business climate.To encourage business expansion in the Triangle, the proposed Business Assistance Program offers grant funding for (1) predevelopment services, and (2) business and building improvements. • Tigard Triangle Lean Code includes fast-track clear and objective development approval.The lean code was established in 2017 in order to be easier to understand, be more flexible, and allow a wide mix of uses and streamline permit review. • Vertical Housing Development Zone (VHDZ): Partial property tax abatement. Components of the program are available to both market-rate and affordable units and thus the tax benefit is greater for mixed-income projects.' • Opportunity Zone.The Triangle is one of three Opportunity Zones in Tigard.The zones offer investors the potential to reduce their capital gains taxes over time.4 City of Tigard • SDC exemptions (City transportation and park SDCs only) for affordable housing units.5 • Construction Excise Tax(CET) Funds. The City of Tigard recently adopted a citywide CET that will generate funds from commercial and market-rate development to help provide gap financing for affordable housing projects. Approximately$2 million per year is expected to be available citywide assuming recent levels of development extend into the future.

OHCS may also manage other funding sources that could be applied to projects in the Triangle. • Philanthropic Funds& Impact Investors.This is a dynamic source of predevelopment and capital development funds, and like the DAP itself, may not solve the funding gap inherent in affordable housing alone. However, such funds can help close the gap. For example, Meyer Memorial Trust is one example of local philanthropy with a housing affordability focus. Impact investing has become popular among both mission-driven and traditional investors in recent years;Turner Impact Capital is one example of many. • Regional Affordable Housing Bond (Metro Bond).This regional fund was approved by voters in 2018 and will be administered by Washington County in the Triangle.At least 80%of the funds will go towards households earning less than 60%AMI and therefore,these funds are best suited for 100%regulated projects. However, it is another source to consider. • Southwest Corridor light-rail improvements. The Southwest Corridor proposes high capacity, high-frequency light rail service for the Triangle, along with right of way improvements and other investments. Development Opportunities The Tigard Triangle is an opportunity area for various reasons, including recent, city-led redevelopment efforts, development momentum from recent and under-construction developments,the presence of several developable sites, and the planned light-rail extension (the Southwest Corridor). To understand the Triangle's development potential, sites were surveyed to identify recently completed, in progress, planned, and potential development sites. The estimated development capacity of undeveloped sites or sites that may undergo redevelopment is based on recent redevelopment and most likely uses, given market dynamics, zoning designations, and/or stated plans, and do not represent definitive plans. The locations of these sites are shown on the map on the following page, along with the MAX expansion footprint (dark gray). Parcels that are intersected by the path of the MAX alignment (at grade or grade-separated) are hatched. The table that follows the map describes these developments and opportunity sites in more detail, including land use type and estimated or anticipated building size and footprint.This "development program" is intended to demonstrate an aggressive construction timeline where market conditions, public investments, incentives, and other assistance programs combine to support significant new private development in the Tigard Triangle. Sites are also categorized in terms of likely redevelopment timing. Sites that are likely to be developed in the next five years ("near term") are those that are already cleared and/or assembled, or in planning stages. "Medium- term" projects coincide with major construction and the opening of the Southwest Corridor from 2025 to 2030, and "long term" sites are expected to develop or redevelop later than 2030. 6 Mixed-Income Housing: Definitions and Outcomes, University of Oregon,2016. https://www.oregon.gov/lcd/UP/Documents/UO-Mixed Income Housing.pdf .i AN aw Tigard Triangle Figure 17.Tigard Triangle Opportunity Sites • i i i t I 10 I 12 I � R 13ri 67 Q� e� s I01.

Business Meeting One Meeting Date: 02/02/2021 Length (in minutes): 40 Minutes Agenda Title: Receive Briefing on River Terrace 2.0 Project Prepared For: Schuyler Warren, Community Development Submitted By: Schuyler Warren, Community Development Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Meeting Type: Council Business Meeting - Main Public Hearing: No Publication Date: Information ISSUE Shall Council receive an update on River Terrace 2.0 concept planning, including a discussion of urban growth boundary (UGB) expansion? STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST This agenda item will provide an update briefing on the River Terrace 2.0 concept planning process and a discussion of the timing of the UGB application process. Staff recommend that Council continue to move forward with a mid-cycle River Terrace South UGB application in 2021, followed by a regular cycle River Terrace West UGB application in 2024.If Council opts to not follow this recommendation and chooses a different direction,such as moving both South and West forward in the mid-year cycle,we recommend that we do not submit South and West as a complete package but rather present two different applications—one for South and one for West. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY Project Purpose The River Terrace 2.0 project will deliver a Concept Plan for River Terrace West and South, and two urban reserve areas also known as Roy Rogers West and East. This concept plan will be compliant with Metro Title 11 requirements in support of an application for expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary in summer to fall 2021. Working with the community advisory committee and other stakeholders, the project team has developed several early public-facing work products: a project focus statement, a project vision statement, and project guiding principles. The project team has also developed three concept alternatives that are guided by these collaboratively generated guiding principles. Project Focus This concept planning work is focused through two lenses that are centrally linked - equity and climate change. These lenses can be considered as a pair of glasses through which this work is conducted and viewed. Like a pair of glasses, they guide the vision of the project. As such, this project seeks to center the voices of communities of color, immigrants, and people with low incomes. These communities are among those most affected by the impacts of environmental inequities, climate change, and systemic racism. When we meet the needs of the most vulnerable communities, the health and wellbeing of all community members improves. Vision Statement River Terrace 2.0 is a neighborhood for everyone and a complete community. It offers housing opportunities to the full diversity of Tigard's families and households. This community is made complete by providing space for small businesses and a thriving local economy, a variety of housing options, and accessible parks and open spaces. The transportation system treats all modes equally, with walking and biking trails throughout the community, a road system that emphasizes safety and regional access, and a development pattern that supports an efficient public transit system. Public spaces and parks offer places for the community to gather. Natural areas are protected and enhanced to emphasize habitats and scenic views. Public utilities are designed to maximize cost-efficiency and long-term fiscal sustainability. The costs of necessary infrastructure are shared in an equitable manner. Guiding Principles Neighborhoods & Housing •Neighborhoods provide a diversity of housing choices that will serve the full range of housing needs for Tigard's current and future residents. •Neighborhoods integrate opportunities for market rate and regulated affordable housing to facilitate home ownership at all income levels. •Neighborhoods are designed to thoughtfully incorporate adjacent natural areas and commercial centers. •Neighborhoods are designed to provide opportunity for an average of twenty households per acre. Transportation •The transportation system emphasizes pedestrian and bicycle connections within the neighborhood and to regional trails. •Streets are designed for safety and to serve all modes of transportation, including vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and transit. •The transportation system connects to regional facilities and extends existing streets and trails where feasible and economically viable. • Commercial and employment. • Commercial areas provide opportunities for business and employment to serve River Terrace residents. •Residents can acquire many goods and services to meet their daily needs without having to travel long distances. Parks and open space • Community and neighborhood parks are located throughout River Terrace and provide a range of gathering and recreating options. •Parks are accessible and connected to commercial centers and neighborhoods by trails and multi-modal streets. •Parks emphasize natural features such as views and tree groves. Natural resources •Natural resources are protected and enhanced to the maximum extent practicable. •Habitat corridors are maintained to support wildlife ranging and migration patterns. Concept Alternatives Working collaboratively across disciplines, the project team developed three concept alternatives that were intended to address the project focus, vision, and guiding principles. Concept A includes three large commercial centers in highly visible locations at the edge of the neighborhood along major roads. Community parks are located near the nodes. Larger housing types surround the centers and taper to smaller housing at the natural edges. Concept B emphasizes three internal main street corridors that connect to the major perimeter streets. Community parks are typically located at the ends of corridors and provide connections to natural areas. Housing sizes and forms are generally more uniform throughout, although there is variation from block to block. Concept C focuses on three smaller, internal neighborhood centers that connect outward to major streets. Parks are located near centers and provide connections throughout. The largest housing forms are near the centers with lower-profile housing at the natural edges. Public Open House Comments An online public open house presenting the project progress and the three concept alternatives was launched on December 28 and ran through January 25. This agenda item will present some themes from the public feedback from the online open house that was not yet available at the time of agenda publication. Project Timeline The next step in the project will be to select and refine a preferred concept alternative. This preferred concept will most likely include some elements from the other concept alternatives, so that the result is a blended concept. This alternative will undergo final analysis and be presented to the Council in the form of a concept plan report for adoption later in the spring prior to the urban growth boundary application. Metro Requirements and Council Goals Staff is aware that the Council has been presented with questions from some stakeholders about the timing of the two areas being planned for. These two pieces are being concurrently planned but are on different timelines for Metro application. This split approach was followed for several reasons: •River Terrace South is a critical connection between the existing urbanized and annexed areas of the first River Terrace and the recently approved urban growth boundary (UGB) expansion of King City West, across Beef Bend Road. Without bringing this area of urban reserve into the UGB, it will be difficult and expensive to plan for the connecting infrastructure that is required, such as streets, sewer, water, and stormwater facilities. Bringing this area in now allows Tigard and King City to coordinate their efforts to ensure the most cost-efficient and sustainable options are employed. River Terrace West, on the other hand, does not make a critical connection between existing and planned development. •The 2021 application for UGB expansion is what is known as a "mid-cycle" application. When Metro updated their code to regularize the UGB expansion process, they implemented a regular cycle of 6 years when the Council would consider all UGB expansion applications. Recognizing that the ongoing need for housing would likely result in more frequent need for developable land inside the UGB, Metro also included a limited "mid-cycle" application window that would occur approximately halfway through the regular cycle. This limited application is for no more than 1,000 acres total across the entire Metro region and can only be used to apply for primarily residential use, with some supportive commercial and civic uses. River Terrace South has been planned to include some smaller areas of commercial uses and development that would comply with Metro's requirements, while River Terrace West has been planned to include more extensive commercial development. We believe the concept planning for River Terrace West makes it ineligible for mid-cycle inclusion. • One of the primary reasons for the higher amount of commercial uses included in River Terrace West are the currently adopted Council goals: Goal 3: Ensure Tigard groans and develops in a smart and inclusive manner Strategy 3.3: Study the viability for any future expansions of the city's urban growtb boundary to include employment land so that neav groavtb and on service costs to Tigard residents and businesses are balanced. •The level of commercial development that would be allowed under a mid-cycle application would not allow the city to meet its goals. •This would have two important consequences related to the project focus and vision: •The city would most likely not be able to make up for the increased cost of services to mostly residential development, and as a result may need to increase system development charges or other fees. •This increase of fees would increase the per-door cost of residential development and make it more difficult for the city to meet its goals to create a new neighborhood that is both accessible and equitable to first time homebuyers, renters, and low-income households. Staff and the consultant team have been moving the project forward based on the split approach. At the current stage of the project, it would be difficult to change the concept to reduce the amount of employment lands to meet the requirements for a mid-cycle application. OTHER ALTERNATIVES Council may opt to not follow this recommendation and submit two separate applications for UGB expansion.

The city will direct all work under this goal,which is contingent on: Strategy 3. • All direct, indirect and overhead costs necessary to make South River Terrace "development-ready" funded by private sector partners and/or through grants prepared at the expense of the private sector partner. • The continuation of existing city plans and projects such that they are neither slowed nor disrupted by River Terrace planning. • The inclusion of equitable development principles in River Terrace planning. Complete an Affordable Housing Plan and adopt recommended strategies Strategy 3.2 to promote the development and retention of affordable housing in Tigard. Increase advocacy at the regional level for housing that is affordable, funding strategies, and consider an excise tax.
