01/08/1992 - Minutes NPO #7 Meeting Minutes
January 8, 1992
Meeting called to order: 7:00 p.m.
Present: Woolery, Blanchard, Cunningham, Dorsett, Gross, Howden
Absent: McGlinchy
Minutes of December 4, 1991 stand as they are.
Discussion of community commercial district. Woolery suggested that this district be
deferred until NPO #7 can meet with some of the other NPOs and CPOs.
Matt Marcott - Murrayhill Thriftway. He gave us a report on what size of store means in
the store business today: 50,000 square feet is extremely large; 40,000 square feet is
same selection; 15,000-22,000 square feet can be and are very profitable stores. He
cited examples.
Craig Petrie and Scott Russell gave us their input. Large stores have a place but is it in
the neighborhoods? People will drive to these large stores so they don't need to be
located in neighborhoods. Rule of thumb: 3 acres would hold a 22,000 square foot store
1/2 acre and 2-1/2 acres of parking.
Woolery stated that NPO #7 wholeheartedly supports the creation of a community
commercial district for the City of Tigard.
Jerry Offer did some explaining of the community commercial district. This will come
back to the NPOs in February and further as long as there is interest and input. Their
goal is to not bring in traffic from afar - shoppers will generally be within 1-1/2 miles.
Cal Woolery brought up conditional uses. Discussion took place.
Our next meeting will be Wednesday, February 5, 1992. Further discussion on this will
take place then.
Meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Katy Dorsett
