March 14, 2022 Planning Commission Hearing:
On March 14, 2022,the Planning Commission received the following public testimony:
Lindsey Eick—Not against the proposal; however, is concerned about increased access on 92nd
in a quiet neighborhood; and is concerned about additional traffic even if it's during "off'times.
Against traffic filtering through the normally safe neighborhood.
Robert Ruedy—Opposed. Doesn't like the pre-application process regarding testimony. He
referred to his written testimony submitted earlier. He believes the staff report is incomplete and
so the commission has not seen the entire record. Expressed a request for an extension.
Diane Bowman—Opposed. Lives in Metzger neighborhood and it's pleasant as is. Regarding
Greenburg& Hall is concerned about traffic &people taking shortcuts. Wants a crosswalk and is
concerned about jaywalking and the safety risk.
Kathleen Noonan—Opposed. She had safety and livability issues stated that there are hazardous
conditions. She believes this development would adversely affect her community. She wants an
extension.
Vanda Makris—Opposed. Believes it's a detriment to the neighborhood. It will cause reduction
of quality of life. Believes the design team had no concern for neighbors; it will be unsightly;
she's concerned about noise problems.
Michael Neunzert—Opposed to certain aspects of the development. Particularly the de facto
truck entrance is the Montage Lane cul-de-sac. He's against commercial traffic and wrote to the
Planning Commission in December when he laid out the logic for that and what code it might be
in disagreement with. He believes the driveway being proposed(from the Hall entrance around
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 13 OF 88
the back of the building to the cul-de-sac) is too narrow and curvy for truck use. He said it's a
violation of the Washington County Transportation Plan and that not a single street south of that
neighborhood meet any of the design criteria in that plan.
Charlie Daniels—Could not be understood but had his monitor was on, causing a lot of feedback.
After 2 or 3 minutes of trying to understand him, President Hu asked IT to put him back into the
telephone queue.
Shayla Kotadia& Justin Crest—Opposed. Their main concerns centered around safety,
particularly safety of the children in the area. Their daughter had been hit by a car and traffic is
very concerning to them both. They are worried about it increasing. Currently, there are not
enough lights on the streets. At night 92nd has very limited visibility. There are no sidewalks and
only ditches to jump into to avoid cars if needed. They feel unsafe. They would like a crosswalk
off of SW Hall Boulevard.
Rachel Stoller—Opposed. She's not opposed to development on that land, but it's the current
proposal with through traffic going through her neighborhood and an entrance right in front of
her townhome that she's against. She and her husband have several issues,particularly the
distance from the loading dock and entrance to the parking garage right in front of their front
door.
Dan Stoller—Opposed. He gave a PowerPoint presentation which Agnes shared. His proposal is
to move the noise of the loading dock, employee parking garage and trash pickup toward Hall
Blvd while keeping Montage Lane a dead-end and not accessible for the Cedarbrook facility.
Basically, disconnect the proposed development from the surrounding community(no
connection with Montage Lane, all entry/exits off of SW Hall Blvd). She would also like them to
add a sound reducing wall around the entire perimeter and consolidate drop off locations into
one.
Juanita Garnow—Opposed to the application as currently designed. The main concern is that the
property that has been proposed to develop contains several Oregon white oak trees. Concerned
about the wildlife and pollinators as well.
Jan Erickson—Opposed. She read through her previously submitted written testimony. She
believes the developer is being favored with their half-street utility easement and that the
easement should be required to be located along the frontage of Hall Blvd outside of the required
right of way. It appears; however, to be excluded from the proposed development drawings. She
believes the facility is too big for the 2.56-acre site and wants the plan and annexation denied.
Steven Perry—It was unable to be understand him as he had his monitor on, the content was
about a minute delayed and that caused lots of feedback. After a few minutes of the feedback,
Mr. Perry was put back into the queue.
Theresa Gipson—Opposed as currently designed. She had previously submitted written
testimony. Her main concern was traffic. She believes there will be an undue burden of traffic
onto Montage and along 92nd
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 14 OF 88
Jim Long—Opposed. Is speaking on behalf of CP04M said they are against the annexation&
development. He believes this meeting should be continued. He was unable to hear the
applicant's attorney due to technical difficulties the applicant had. He agrees with many people
who have already spoken and is concerned about needing a crosswalk. He noted there are
potential violations to the city's code, traffic concerns in a residential neighborhood and noise
levels from emergency vehicles. Their Attorney Ken Dobson was unable to attend this meeting
and is out of cell phone range, another good reason for a continuance. He doesn't think there was
enough notification for people. He didn't like the meeting that took place between neighbors and
Tigard staff. He wants the hearing to be rescheduled to April 11. Tigard needs to follow their
own Community Development Code. He believes the city should give full notice again. They
need time to look at this.
Sue Wirick—Opposed. Vehicle access is a major concern, and she wants all emergency vehicles
to use the Hall Blvd entrance. To have them go through the neighborhood would slow down their
arrival at the site. The noise from those vehicles would be a huge issue because it could be at any
time of the day. She wants a crosswalk on 90th and Hall and wants Washington County to help
with street improvements by adding lighting on Montage.
Courtney Sjoberg—Opposed. Her house backs to where the development will be built. She
doesn't like the traffic, and pedestrian safety is a concern. She believes it's scary and dangerous
to walk around their neighborhood now. Believes it will be worse. She's very concerned that the
GPS app called"blaze"will take people through neighborhoods. She uses it and it's very
popular. It oftentimes will take people through neighborhoods to get to places faster. She
believes Waze will bring a lot of traffic through their neighborhood by default because there's
always a lot of traffic on the other streets. She's very concerned about Waze traffic flowing into
that area. Additionally, she doesn't like the height of the building. Because it will be only five
feet away from her front door, her natural light will be cut off. She wants the community to be
taken into account—especially those so close to the project.
Nate Blaszak—Opposed—Concerned about traffic and thinks half street improvements won't
help. He's concerned about his privacy and views this particular proposal as the lesser of
possible "evils." The height could be worse. If they were apartments, the traffic would be higher.
He didn't like the loopholes regarding parking and is concerned about people cutting through the
neighborhood. He doesn't believe there will only be a 5% increase in traffic.
Steven Perry— Strongly Opposed. He's concerned about the community, traffic, and streets, as
well as the height of the building.
No other public testimony was received at the hearing.

On April 13, 2022, staff received the following comments:
- A call from Ken Dobson asking for clarification on whether the site development review

- A call from Jim Long requesting to view the applicant materials.
On April 14,2022,staff received a phone call from Jim Long and Jan Erickson requesting to get paper
copies of the materials. They also asked questions about the urban forestry plan, if the materials are
all current, and that they would like to come back to view the materials again.
Testimony submitted for the City Council's consideration largely duplicated the testimony before the
Planning Commission. One commentor added new objections which are noted below. First they
claimed that there was a code section called TCDC 18.510.010 that requires the city to "protect the
livability of existing and future residential neighborhoods." The Council notes that there is no such
code section. She also asked the city to apply TCDC 18.330-3(B) for conditions of approval to
"ensure" compatibility. The Council is unsure of what provision in the TCDC this commentor refers
to. However,TCDC 18.330 applies to industrial uses. The City Council finds that the proposal is not
for an industrial use so this provision would not apply regardless. She also cited provisions in 18.810,
but those standards apply only to land divisions and the Council finds that they are inapplicable here.
She cited TMC 10.16.051, which lists streets for which through truck traffic is restricted. However,
none of the streets directly serving the proposed facility are among the listed streets. However, even
if a truck might use one of these streets, the Council finds that TMC 10.16.051(3) states that trucks
can use these streets if they cannot reach their destination otherwise. The Council finds that this
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 18 OF 88
provision is not an outright prohibition on trucks using the listed streets. The Council finds that this
provision is irrelevant to this proposal in any case.
Given several comments along these lines,the Council believes it is important to outline the standards
that the City can apply to this application for the development of housing and importantly the
standards that it cannot apply.
This application seeks the "development of housing." That means that only "clear and objective"
standards may be applied. ORS 197.307(4). The city bears the burden to demonstrate that the
standards applied are clear and objective. ORS 197.831. The standards and criteria applied must be
"clear and objective"on their face. ORS 227.173(2). A standard is not clear and objective if it triggers
"subjective, value-laden analyses that are designed to balance or mitigate impacts of the
development."(Emphasis supplied.) Rogue Valley Association of Realtors v. City of Ashland, 35 Or
LUBA 139, 158(1998), aff'd, 158 Or App 1 (1999). The prohibited types of non-clear and objective
standards are generally standards requiring a "compatibility" or an "adverse impacts" analysis or
imposing "conditions" to make a proposal "compatible" or avoid "adverse impacts." Moreover,
ambiguous language in the code is not clear and objective. Nieto v. City of Talent, Or LUBA
(LUBA No. 2020-100, March 10, 2021);Legacy Development Group, Inc. v. City of The Dalles,
Or LUBA (LUBA No. 2020-099, February 24, 2021). LUBA awarded attorney fees against the
cities in both Nieto and Legacy for ignoring the clear and objective requirements. Legacy
Development Group, Inc. v. City of The Dalles, Or LUBA (LUBA No. 2020-099, Order on
Attorney Fees, May 17, 2021). The Council must exercise care to ensure that the standards applied
to the applicants' site review application, are clear and objective on their face.
ORS 197.522(2) states that the city "shall approve" this application for construction of needed
housing. There is no dispute that the proposal is for a type of"needed housing" in the city. ORS
197.303(1). If Council were to disagree with its professional staff and decide that the application does
not comply with an applicable standard, then ORS 197.522 requires that "prior to making a final
decision on the application" the city "shall allow the applicant to offer an amendment or to propose
conditions of approval that would make the application consistent with the plan and applicable
regulations."
Further, state law and the implementing TCDC standards require that only the standards and criteria
in the city's adopted code may be applied to this application. ORS 227.173(1). A project,to include
this one,may not be denied on the basis of a standard that is not in the city's code,under the so-called

There are two applications here, consolidated for administrative convenience. The application for
site review, is an application for a "limited land use decision." ORS 197.015(12). ORS 197.195(l)
describes the standards that the city may apply to a limited land use application. ORS 197.195(1)says
that the applicable land use regulations for this application are limited to those that are specifically
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 19 OF 88
listed in the city land use regulations in the Tigard Community Development Code. Under ORS
197.195(1), provisions in the city's Comprehensive Plan cannot provide a basis for a decision on a
limited land use decision,unless they are specifically incorporated into the land use regulations.
Moreover, state law says that the city may not reduce the density of housing development below the
maximum allowed in the city code (ORS 227.175(4)(c)) and may not reduce the height of housing
development proposals below the maximum allowed in the city code' (ORS 227.175(4)(d)).

3.09.045 Expedited Decisions
This proposed annexation is not being processed as an expedited decision,but Metro Code 3.09.050.1)
requires that the standards in Sections 3.09.045.13 and 3.09.045.E be addressed.
D. To approve a boundary change through an expedited process,the city shall:
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 22 OF 88
1. Find that the change is consistent with expressly applicable provisions in:
a. Any applicable urban service agreement adopted pursuant to ORS 195.065;
The Tigard Urban Service Agreement (TUSA) is between the City of Tigard, Washington County,
Metro, and the service districts for water, sewer, public safety, parks, and transportation. The
agreement outlines the role, provision, area, and planning/coordination responsibilities for service
providers operating in the Tigard Urban Services Area. As addressed under Comprehensive Plan,
Goal 11:Public Facilities and Services of this report,Council finds that all urban services are available
to the proposed annexation area and have sufficient capacity to provide service.
The Urban Planning Area Agreement (UPAA) between the City of Tigard and Washington County
provides coordination of comprehensive planning and development, defines the area of interest, and
includes policies with respect to the active planning area and annexation. The applicable annexation
policies include the assignment of comprehensive plan and zoning designations addressed later in this
report, and acknowledgements that the City is the ultimate service provider of urban services within
the Tigard Urban Service Area. The proposed boundary change is consistent with both the Tigard
TUSA and the UPAA.
b. Any applicable annexation plan adopted pursuant to ORS 195.205;
There is no adopted annexation plan associated with this proposal. Therefore,this provision does not
apply.
c. Any applicable cooperative planning agreement adopted pursuant to ORS
195.020(2)between the affected entity and a necessary party;
ORS 195.020(2) speaks to cooperative agreements between counties or Metro with each special
district that provides an urban service within the boundaries of the county or the metropolitan district.
Examples of special districts include those for utilities, police, fire, and schools. Upon approval of
this proposed annexation, the City of Tigard will provide sewer and stormwater services to the site,
instead of Clean Water Services(CWS). The portion of SW Hall Boulevard that abuts the subject site
will be annexed into the boundary of the City of Tigard to the centerline of the right-of-way.However,
SW Hall Blvd. in this location will remain under the regulatory authority of the Oregon Department
of Transportation(ODOT). The City of Tigard Police Department will provide public safety services,
instead of the Washington County Sheriff's Office. Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD) will
continue to provide water services to the site,Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue(TVF&R)will continue
to provide fire protection and emergency medical services to the site, and Tigard-Tualatin School
District(TTSD)will continue to be the assigned school district for the site.
d. Any applicable public facility plan adopted pursuant to a statewide planning
goal on public facilities and services;
The City of Tigard Public Facility Plan was originally adopted in 1991, and updated in 2019, in
compliance with Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines, and Oregon Administrative Rules
Chapter 660, Division 11. As addressed under Comprehensive Plan, Goal 11: Public Facilities and
Services of this report, Council finds the proposed annexation is consistent with the applicable
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 23 OF 88
provisions of the City of Tigard Public Facility Plan.
e. Any applicable comprehensive plan;
This proposed quasi-judicial annexation is in compliance with the City of Tigard Comprehensive
Plan. The specific sections of the Comprehensive Plan that apply to this application are addressed
later in this decision.
L Any applicable concept plan; and
There is no applicable concept plan associated with this proposal. Therefore, this provision does not
apply.
2. Consider whether the boundary change would:
a. Promote the timely, orderly and economic provision of public facilities and
services;
b. Affect the quality and quantity of urban services; and
c. Eliminate or avoid unnecessary duplication of facilities or services.
As addressed under Comprehensive Plan, Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services of this decision,the
City Council finds that all public facilities and services are available to the proposed annexation site
and have sufficient capacity to provide service. The City of Tigard will provide sewer and stormwater
services to the site, instead of CWS. The portion of SW Hall Boulevard that abuts the subject site
will be annexed into the City of Tigard to the centerline of the right-of-way. However, SW Hall Blvd.
in this location is anticipated to remain under the regulatory authority of ODOT. The City of Tigard
Police Department will provide public safety services, instead of the Washington County Sheriff's
Office.Tualatin Valley Water District will continue to provide water services to the site,TVF&R will
continue to provide fire protection and emergency medical services to the site, and TTSD will
continue to be the assigned school district for the site.
E. A city may not annex territory that lies outside the Urban Growth Boundary(UGB),except
it may annex a lot or parcel that lies partially within and outside the UGB.
The subject site is not located outside the UGB. Therefore,this provision does not apply.
3.09.050 Hearing and Decision Requirements for Decisions Other Than Expedited Decisions
A. The following requirements for hearings on petitions operate in addition to requirements
for boundary changes in ORS Chapters 198,221 and 222 and the reviewing entity's charter,
ordinances or resolutions.
B. Not later than 15 days prior to the date set for a hearing the reviewing entity shall make
available to the public a report that addresses the criteria identified in subsection (D) and
includes the following information:
The staff report recommendation and Planning Commission recommendation to City Council were
posted on the City of Tigard website and made available to the public more than 15 days prior to their
respective public hearings before Planning Commission and City Council.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 24 OF 88
1. The extent to which urban services are available to serve the affected territory,
including any extra territorial extensions of service;
As addressed under Comprehensive Plan, Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services of this report,
Council finds that all public facilities and services are available to the proposed annexation site and
have sufficient capacity to provide service.
2. Whether the proposed boundary change will result in the withdrawal of the affected
territory from the legal boundary of any necessary party; and
The proposed annexation area will remain within Washington County, but will be annexed to the
City. It will be withdrawn from Washington County's Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol District and Urban
Road Maintenance District upon final approval of the requested annexation. The subject site will also
be withdrawn from the Tigard Water District upon completion of final approval of the requested
annexation.
3. The proposed effective date of the boundary change.
A public hearing regarding this annexation request took place before Tigard City Council as required
on May 10,2022. The City Council made the final decision on this application. The Council adopts
these findings approving the requested annexation(Case No.ZCA202 1-0000 1),and the effective date
of this annexation is the effective date of the approving ordinance, and filing with the Oregon
Secretary of State, as outlined in ORS 222.180.
C. The person or entity proposing the boundary change has the burden to demonstrate that
the proposed boundary change meets the applicable criteria.
The applicant has provided sufficient evidence and findings in their application to demonstrate that
the proposed boundary change meets the applicable criteria, as demonstrated through the findings in
this Decision.
D. To approve a boundary change, the reviewing entity shall apply the criteria and consider
the factors set forth in subsections (D)and (E)of section 3.09.045.
The factors set forth in Metro Code Sections 3.09.045.D and 3.09.045.E have been met,as previously
addressed in this Decision.
(TCDC 18.720.030 Continued)
A.2. The annexation is in the city's best interest.
As addressed under Metro Code Section 3.09.045.D.2 of this Decision, this annexation will help
promote the timely, orderly, and economic provision of City of Tigard public facilities and services,
and eliminate or avoid unnecessary duplication of facilities or services.Accordingly,the City Council
finds this proposed annexation is in the City's best interest. Several commentors contended that
approval of the proposal was not in the best interest of the City,mostly because it will generate traffic.
However, the Council concludes that the annexation of the subject property is in the best interests of
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 25 OF 88
the City because it provides a type of needed housing in the City(assisted living and memory care);
it generates traffic within the capacity of the affected streets to accommodate and it is consistent with
the City's vision for this property as articulated in the Washington Square Regional Plan.
B. Assignment of comprehensive plan and zoning designations. The comprehensive plan
designation and the zoning designation placed on the property is the city's base zone that
most closely implements the city's or county's comprehensive plan map designation. The
assignment of these designations occurs automatically and concurrently with the
annexation. In the case of land that carries county designations, the city will convert the
county's comprehensive plan map and zoning designations to the city designations that are
the most similar.A zone change is required if the applicant requests a comprehensive plan
map or zoning map designation other than the existing designations. A request for a zone
change may be processed concurrently with an annexation application or after the
annexation has been approved. Within the Washington Square Regional Center, the
assignment of city comprehensive plan and zoning designations will be as provided in the
Washington Square Regional Center Phase II Implementation Plan, dated June 29, 2001,
Figure 4 Adopted Zoning Designations.
The subject properties are located within the Washington Square Regional Center, and Figure 4
Adopted Zoning Designations of the Washington Square Regional Center Phase II Implementation
Plan shows the properties as Mixed-Use Residential (MUR-1). Accordingly, upon approval of the
proposed annexation,the properties will be designated as MUR-1 on the Tigard Zoning Map and the
Tigard Comprehensive Plan Map, and as detailed in the section above, the assignment of city
designations will occur automatically and concurrently with the proposed annexation. Some
commentators objected to the application of the MUR-1 zone to the property. They argued that
because the site is currently zoned R 18-24 by Washington County, that the zone applied should be
limited to 18-24 units per acre and that the proposal is for "almost 3 times as much" density. Those
objections are misplaced. TCDC 18.720.030(B) clearly requires that the zone be applied as required
by the Washington Square Regional Center Plan: "Within the Washington Square Regional Center,
the assignment of city comprehensive plan and zoning designations will be as provided in the
Washington Square Regional Center Phase II Implementation Plan, dated June 29, 2001, Figure 4
Adopted Zoning Designations." There is no dispute that the proposal assigns the plan and zone
designations " that are provided in the Washington Square Regional Center Phase II Implementation
Plan, dated June 29, 2001, Figure 4 ***." Therefore, the application of the MUR-1 zone is
appropriate. Moreover, as pointed out by Washington County planner Michelle Miller, the County
TO:,R18-24 district would allow the proposal as a type of"group living"that is allowed outright.
CITY OF TIGARD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Goal 1.1: Provide citizens, affected agencies, and other jurisdictions the opportunity to
participate in all phases of the planning process.
City staff posted public hearing notices in four public places on December 16, 2021 (Tigard City
Hall, Tigard Permit Center, Tigard Public Works, and at the subject site); city staff mailed public
hearing notices to all necessary parties, and neighboring property owners within 500 feet of the
subject site on December 16,2021;and the City published a public hearing notice in the Tigard Times
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 26 OF 88
for more than two successive weeks(with publish dates on December 23,2021,December 30, 2021,
and January 5, 2022)prior to the January 10, 2022 public hearing before Planning Commission and
again prior to the February 28,2022 public hearing scheduled before the Planning Commission. The
Planning Commission hearing was continued to February 28, 2022. City staff also posted the public
hearing information on the City of Tigard website, and the Staff Report was also posted on the City's
website 15 days prior to the February 28, 2022 public hearing before Planning Commission. Due to
technical difficulties with the Teams App that is used by the City for its COVID-19 virtual hearings,
the hearing was opened by the Planning Commission but public testimony could not be taken,
although several members of the public wrote comments in the MS "Teams" app and requested that
the hearing be continued to a date and time when the technical difficulties were resolved.
Accordingly,the Planning Commission continued the initial evidentiary hearing that had been opened
on February 28, 2022 to a date and time certain to March 14, 2022 at 7 pm.
On March 14, 2022 at the conclusion of the public's oral testimony and at the request for several
participants including the Applicants, the Planning Commission voted to hold the record open for a
period of 14 days - 7 days for anyone to submit any further information they wished,then another 7
days for any person to submit rebuttal to material submitted in the first open record period. The
Planning Commission further authorized the Applicants to prepare and submit their final written
argument on April 4, 2022,which was not allowed to contain any evidence.
On April 4, 2022 at 7 PM, the Planning Commission reconvened to deliberate toward a
recommendation on the applications. After deliberations, the Planning Commission voted to
recommend to City Council to approve the proposed annexation and site development review.
On May 10, 2022,the City Council conducted a public hearing providing citizens, affected agencies
and other jurisdictions the opportunity to participate in the Council's decisionmaking. The City
Council's May 10,2022 public hearing was "de novo"meaning that anyone could raise any issue and
provide any evidence they wanted to. This standard is met.
Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services
As detailed in the City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan, Public Facilities and Services refer to
Stormwater Management, Water Supply and Distribution, Wastewater Management, Community
Facilities, and Private Utilities. In addition, the Comprehensive Plan's Glossary includes public
safety, parks, and transportation under Public Facilities and Services. As detailed in the findings
below,the Council finds that all public facilities and services are available to the proposed annexation
area and have adequate capacity to serve the subject site.
Stormwater — City of Tigard Public Works Department. City storm sewer infrastructure either
currently exists adjacent to the proposed annexation area or can be made available to the subject site.
There is an existing storm sewer main along the property frontage within SW Hall Boulevard and a
storm sewer main located at the SW Montage Lane public street stub. The City of Tigard
Engineering Division reviewed the applicants' annexation proposal and had no objections. Upon
development of the site, stormwater systems shall be designed and constructed meeting CWS Design
and Construction Standards for surface water management systems, including runoff treatment and
control. City storm sewer facilities have adequate capacity to serve the subject site.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 27 OF 88
Water—Tualatin Valley Water District. The subject properties are located within the water service
area for TVWD, which will not change with this annexation request. Tualatin Valley Water District
reviewed the applicants'materials,and responded with no objections to the proposal on April 2,2021.
Sewer — City of Tigard Public Works Department. City sanitary sewer infrastructure either
currently exists adjacent to the proposed annexation area or can be made available to the subject site.
There is an existing eight-inch sanitary sewer main along the property frontage within SW Hall
Boulevard. The City of Tigard Engineering Division reviewed the applicants' annexation proposal
and had no objections. Upon development of the site, sanitary sewer systems shall be designed and
constructed meeting CWS Design and Construction Standards. City sanitary sewer facilities have
adequate capacity to serve the subject site.
Police — City of Tigard Police Department. The Washington County Sheriff's Office currently
provides police services to the subject properties. If this annexation request is approved,the site will
be withdrawn from the Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol District, and the City of Tigard Police Department
will provide public safety services to the site.
Fire—Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue. The subject properties are located within the service area
for TVF&R.Accordingly,TVF&R currently provides fire protection and emergency medical services
to the site,which will not change with this annexation request.
Parks — City of Tigard Public Works Department. The applicants propose to annex three
properties, totaling approximately 2.56 acres in size, into the City of Tigard. Staff has reviewed the
applicants' proposal and determined that this request will not adversely impact the City's ability or
capacity to provide for parks and recreational needs.
Streets — City of Tigard Engineering Division. The subject property has frontage on SW Hall
Boulevard, SW 92nd Avenue and an existing public street stub from SW Montage Lane. SW Hall
Boulevard is classified as an arterial and is under the jurisdiction of ODOT. Southwest 92nd Avenue
and SW Montage Lane are classified as local streets and are under the jurisdiction of the City of
Tigard. Upon development of the property, street improvements are required along the property
frontage in accordance with Tigard Municipal Code 18.910, the City of Tigard Public Improvement
Design Standards and the ODOT Highway Design Manual standards, and the City of Tigard Public
Improvement Design Standards.
Goal 11.1,Policy 4: The City shall require a property to be located within the City limits prior
to receiving stormwater services.
City storm sewer infrastructure either currently exists adjacent to the proposed annexation area or can
be made available to the subject site. There is an existing storm sewer main along the property
frontage within SW Hall Boulevard and a storm sewer main located at the SW Montage Lane public
street stub. The City of Tigard Engineering Division reviewed the applicants' annexation proposal
and had no objections. Upon development of the site, stormwater systems shall be designed and
constructed meeting CWS Design and Construction Standards for surface water management
systems,including runoff treatment and control. City storm sewer facilities have adequate capacity to
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 28 OF 88
serve the subject site.
Goal 11.3,Policy 6: The City shall require a property to be located within the City limits prior
to receiving wastewater services.
City sanitary sewer infrastructure either currently exists adjacent to the proposed annexation area or
can be made available to the subject site. There is an existing eight-inch sanitary sewer main along
the property frontage within SW Hall Boulevard. The City of Tigard Engineering Division reviewed
the applicants' annexation proposal and had no objections. Upon development of the site, sanitary
sewer systems shall be designed and constructed meeting CWS Design and Construction Standards.
City sanitary sewer facilities have adequate capacity to serve the subject site.
Goal 12: To provide and encourage a safe,convenient, and economic transportation system.
The subject property has frontage on SW Hall Boulevard, SW 92nd Avenue and an existing public
street stub from SW Montage Lane. SW Hall Boulevard is classified as an arterial and is under the
jurisdiction of ODOT. Southwest 92nd Avenue and SW Montage Lane are classified as local streets
and are under the jurisdiction of the City of Tigard. Upon development of the property, street
improvements are required along the property frontage in accordance with Tigard Municipal Code
18.910, the City of Tigard Public Improvement Design Standards and the ODOT Highway Design
Manual standards, and the City of Tigard Public Improvement Design Standards. The applicants'
January 4, 2021 Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) demonstrates that the traffic generated by a
"reasonable worst case" analysis of development allowed in the MUR-1 zone,adds only 389 average
daily trips over those that could be generated under the current Washington County zoning. ODOT
characterizes that difference as a "small increase." The applicants' TIA also demonstrates that the
MUR-1 zone is consistent with the functional classifications of both Hall Boulevard as well as 92nd
Avenue and Montage Lane; it will not degrade the performance of any affected transportation system
below the performance standards listed in the City's TSP or comprehensive Plan or further degrade a
transportation system that is projected not to meet performance standards in the TSP or City
comprehensive plan.
Goal 14.2, Policy 1: The City shall assign a Tigard zoning district designation to annexed
property that most closely conforms to the existing Washington County zoning designation for
that property.
The applicable Tigard zoning district designation for the subject property is addressed under TCDC
Section 18.720.030.13 of this report and that discussion is incorporated herein
Goal 14.2,Policy 2:The City shall ensure capacity exists,or can be developed,to provide needed
urban level services to an area when approving annexation.
As addressed under Comprehensive Plan,Goal 11:Public Facilities and Services of this Decision,the
Council finds that all urban level services are available to the proposed annexation area and have
sufficient capacity to provide service.
Goal 14.2, Policy 3: The City shall approve proposed annexations based on findings that the
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 29 OF 88
request:
A. Can be accommodated by the City's public facilities and services; and
As addressed under Comprehensive Plan,Goal 11:Public Facilities and Services of this Decision,the
Council finds that all City of Tigard public facilities and services are available to the proposed
annexation area and have sufficient capacity to provide service.
B. Is consistent with applicable state statute.
As addressed later in this Decision,the Council finds the applicable provisions of ORS 222 have been
met, consistent with this policy.
Goal 14.2,Policy 4: The City shall evaluate and may require that parcels adjacent to proposed
annexations be included to:
A. Avoid creating unincorporated islands within the City;
B. Enable public services to be efficiently and effectively extended to the entire area; or
C. Implement a concept plan or sub-area master plan that has been approved by the Planning
Commission or City Council.
The subject properties are located directly east of the City of Tigard's border with unincorporated
Washington County. Because the subject site is only bordered on one side by the City of Tigard
boundary, this annexation will not create an "island" of unincorporated land, and it is not necessary
to include the adjacent properties in this annexation request. This annexation will enable public
services to be efficiently and effectively extended to the subject properties. The site is within the
boundary of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan(WSRCP),which is a sub-area master plan
that has been approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. However,there are no aspects
of the WSRCP that are applicable to this property that would require adjacent parcels to be annexed.

222.111 Authority and procedure for annexation.
(2) A proposal for annexation of territory to a city may be initiated by the legislative body
of the city,on its own motion,or by a petition to the legislative body of the city by owners
of real property in the territory to be annexed.
(5) The legislative body of the city shall submit, except when not required under ORS
222.120, 222.170 and 222.840 to 222.915 to do so, the proposal for annexation to the
electors of the territory proposed for annexation and, except when permitted under
ORS 222.120 or 222.840 to 222.915 to dispense with submitting the proposal for
annexation to the electors of the city, the legislative body of the city shall submit such
proposal to the electors of the city.The proposal for annexation may be voted upon at a
general election or at a special election to be held for that purpose.
222.120 Procedure for annexation without election; hearing; ordinance subject to referendum.

ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 30 OF 88
(2) When the legislative body of the city elects to dispense with submitting the question of
the proposed annexation to the electors of the city, the legislative body of the city shall
fix a day for a public hearing before the legislative body at which time the electors of the
city may appear and be heard on the question of annexation.
(3) The city legislative body shall cause notice of the hearing to be published once each week
for two successive weeks prior to the day of hearing, in a newspaper of general
circulation in the city, and shall cause notices of the hearing to be posted in four public
places in the city for a like period.
The owner of the subject properties submitted an annexation petition to the City on January 13,2021.
Additionally, the City of Tigard Charter does not expressly require the City to submit a proposal for
annexation of territory to the electors of the City for their approval or rejection.Therefore,an election
is not required for this annexation application. However, the City is required to follow the public
hearing and public noticing requirements outlined in ORS 222.120.
The deliberations on this proposed boundary change were tentatively scheduled before Planning
Commission(scheduled for June 21,202 1)and before City Council(scheduled for August 10,2021).
Due to approvability issues with the Site Development Review portion of the application, and at the
request of the applicants,the hearing dates were rescheduled to January 10,2022 before the Planning
Commission and February 22,2022 before the City Council. City staff posted public hearing notices
in four public places on December 16, 2021 (Tigard City Hall, Tigard Permit Center, Tigard Public
Works, and at the subject site); city staff mailed public hearing notices to all necessary parties, and
neighboring property owners within 500 feet of the subject site on December 16,2021; and the City
published a public hearing notice in the Tigard Times for more than two successive weeks (with
publish dates on December 23, 2021, December 30, 2021, and January 5, 2022)prior to the January
10, 2022 public hearing before Planning Commission. Staff did the same again for the February 28,
2022 Public Hearing before the Planning Commission. City staff also posted the public hearing
information on the City of Tigard website and was also posted on this website 15 days prior to the
public hearing before the February 28, 2022 Planning Commission hearing.
On April 19, 2022, the City mailed notice that the quasi-judicial annexation and site review
application would be considered at the City Council's May 10, 2022 public hearing. The notice was
also published in the Tigard Times on April 21, April 28, and May 5d', 2022. The notice was posted
on the site,the Permit Center,Public Works, and City Hall on April 21,2022.
FINDING: Based on the above analysis, all of the annexation criteria have been fully met.
The Council approves the requested annexation.
18.780 Site Development Review
18.780.020 Applicability
A. This chapter applies to the following types of development, except as provided in
Subsections 18.780.020.13 and C below:
1. Apartments,
2. Cottage clusters,
3. Courtyard units,
4. Mobile home parks,
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 31 OF 88
5. Quads,
6. Rowhouses,
7. Wireless communication facilities, and
8. Nonresidential developments,including mixed-use developments.
The proposed application is for a new assisted living and memory care facility,which the Council
finds is a type of"group living" use that the TDC describes as a"residential use." TCDC
18.60.040(C). Some commentors argued the facility should be reviewed as a commercial use,but
Council disagrees because TCDC 18.60.040(C) specifically assigns the proposed use to the
residential use category. The Council further finds that the proposal is for residential use which is
the development of housing,triggering state law protections for the approval of the development of
housing. The Council finds that the proposed facility does not fall into any exception to uses in the
Residential Use category and no one has argued otherwise in this proceeding.
TCDC 18.60.040(A)lists the "Characteristics" of the "Residential Use" category to include "the
occupancy of an institution or facility where the components of a dwelling unit are shared by
residents." The Council finds that the proposal is for an institution or facility that has the
"components" of a dwelling unit that are shared by residents,to include a common commercial
kitchen where food is prepared and served by others to residents who eat in a common dining area.
However,the Council finds that the facility is not itself and does not contain"dwelling units."
The City Council finds that it considers the proposal to be apartment development for the purposes
of applying development standards, therefore the Council finds that this chapter applies. This is
consistent with the TCDC 18.210.010 "Purpose" that says that the "Residential Development
standards" are "broadly applicable" to "all residential development in residential and commercial
zones." The City Council expressly notes,however,that while the proposal does not neatly fit into
the "apartments" category because it does not contain any "dwelling units," the Council finds that
the TCDC intends that the proposed facility be reviewed under TCDC standards that apply to
apartments that do not have dwelling units. This is because the TCDC expressly states that the
TCDC development standards apply to all residential development in residential or commercial
zones, and the only category that fits the type of proposal at issue here, are "apartments." In this
regard, the Council expressly finds that the structure of the TCDC development standards do not
require that all "apartments" have "dwelling units" and many standards in the apartment
development review standards reflect this interpretation. Specifically, many apartment
development standards expressly apply only to dwelling units while others apply regardless of
whether the building has a "dwelling unit". In fact, some apartment development standards
expressly differentiate between apartments that have dwelling units and those that do not. For
example, TCDC 18.230.040(C)(1) pertaining to "Facade design", differentiates fagade standards
that apply to facilities with and without dwelling units "Buildings that do not include dwelling
units are exempt from providing architectural features on facades that face common open
areas." This would be unnecessary if all apartments regulated under the apartment development
standards necessarily included dwelling units.
Further, the City's definition of"dwelling unit" is specific and requires a "dwelling unit" to have
permanent provisions for sleeping, cooking, and sanitation." TCDC 18.30.020(D)(14)(a). The use
of the term"permanent"is meaningful. The dictionary defines the term"permanent"to mean"lasting
or intended to last or remain unchanged indefinitely." The Council finds that the proposed assisted
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 32 OF 88
living "suites"will have no "permanent provisions" for"cooking." Rather,the Council finds that the
assisted living suites cooking facilities will be limited to a microwave and that such microwaves are
intended to be removable and state law requires that those microwaves be removed by facility staff if
it poses a danger or risk to the occupant or others. The microwaves are not and cannot be intended to
remain, unchanged indefinitely, as a matter of state law. Furthermore, there is no dispute that the
memory care facilities do not have any cooking facilities to include microwaves whatsoever. Meals
are provided in a central dining area and are made in a central commercial kitchen that serves the
central dining facility. The residents' monthly fee includes their central dining meals. Accordingly,
the Council expressly interprets the term "dwelling unit" used in the TCDC to require that there is
permanent provision for cooking and that the use of the term "permanent" in this regard, does not
include microwaves in assisted living facilities like the proposal.
This interpretation is consistent with the express words used in the TCDC definition of"Dwelling
Unit" and "Residential Uses" as well as the policy regarding the regulation of individual dwelling
units. The reason that the City defines dwelling units in a way that requires permanent provision of
cooking, among other facilities (as so exclude residential uses that do not include "permanent"
provision for cooking), is that many of the TCDC requirements that apply to dwelling units, simply
do not make sense in the context of an assisted living and memory care facility like the proposal.
These include requirements for "Private open space" that is "directly accessible" from interior of
dwelling unit,contrary to safety needs of residents and,with respect to memory care, are contrary to
state law requirements for facility security. TCDC 18.230.040(D)(2); OAR 411-057-0110(15).
Similarly,the requirement that dwelling units must have a certain number of vehicle and bike parking
spaces for each "dwelling unit" makes no sense to be applied to the proposed facility, because the
only evidence in the record is that more than 95% of assisted living residents do not have cars and
no resident of memory care drives a car. In this regard, the Council finds that the evidence shows
that the small number of residents who are drivers is intentional as the profile of a resident of assisted
living is in their 80s. The Council finds that the evidence also demonstrates that 100 percent of the
residents of the facility will not travel by bicycle. If the proposed assisted living and memory care
facility suites were "dwelling units"that would lead to the facility being vastly overparked. This is
illustrated in TCDC 18.230.040 Table 18.230.2:
Table 18.230.2
• Quantity
Vehicle Maximum
Apartment Size Vehicle Minimum Bicycle Minimum
(Zones A and B)
500 sq ft or less 1 space per dwelling unit
1 bedroom 1 space per dwelling unit
None 1 space per 2 dwelling units
2 bedroom 1.25 spaces per dwelling unit
3 bedroom 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit
Some opponents argued that because there is a commercial kitchen in the facility,that means that
the facility's single commercial kitchen causes the entire facility to have "permanent provision for
cooking." They argue that commercial kitchen should be imputed to every suite,to assert that the
proposed facility has 194 dwelling units. The Council fords this to be an incorrect interpretation of
the TCDC. Just as a house or apartment with three bedrooms is a single dwelling unit and not three
dwelling units, a facility with 194 beds (like the proposal)does not have 194 dwelling units. Here,
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 33 OF 88
there is a separate common commercial kitchen where people other than the residents prepare and
serve their food and there is a central dining area where the residents are served and both are in the
context of a facility that provides significant care for the residents. As such,there simply are no
"dwelling units" in the proposed facility within the intended meaning of that term.
However,the Council finds in the alternative only that if the code definition of"dwelling unit" can
be interpreted to mean that the presence of the single commercial kitchen in the facility means that
the facility has a "permanent provision for cooking,"then the Council finds that means that the
proposed facility has one "dwelling unit," like a house with one kitchen and multiple bedrooms is a
single dwelling unit. These findings will reflect both interpretations of the TCDC,but the Council
intends the correct interpretation of the TCDC,that is consistent with the text,purpose,policy and
context, is that the facility has no dwelling units at all.
To reiterate,the City Council finds that the "suites" associated with the proposal for both assisted
living and for memory care, do not have any"permanent provisions" for"cooking" as the City's
definition of dwelling unit requires and the commercial kitchen where others prepare food for the
residents who are in turn served in a common dining room does not convert the entire facility into a
dwelling unit or a number of dwelling units. I
There are provisions in the TCDC standards that apply to apartments that do not rely upon the
presence of"dwelling units." Those are applied as approval standards here. The City Council has
previously interpreted assisted living and memory care facilities like the proposal as a type of
"apartment" for purposes of applying approval standards that are not specific to "dwelling units."
The City Council finds that there is no reason for the City to depart from this interpretation here.
However, as noted, even if the entire facility is viewed as one "dwelling unit",then the apartment
standards that apply to that dwelling units are met when the entire facility is viewed as a dwelling
unit.
18.780.050 Approval Criteria
The approval authority will approve or approve with conditions a site development review
application when all of the criteria listed below are met. These criteria broadly reference all
chapters in this title that contain standards that may apply to the development. The city will
identify which standards are applicable through the land use review process and evaluate the
proposed development accordingly.
A. The proposed development complies with all applicable base zone standards;
The development is proposed to be located within a Mixed-Use Residential-1 (MUR-1) base zone.
The TDC lists the MUR-1 zone as a"Mixed Use Residential"zone that is a type of commercial zone.
TDC 18.120.020(J). In the MU-1 zone, residential use is allowed outright per Table 18.120.1. As
proposed,the development does comply with all applicable base zone standards as discussed later in
this Decision.The proposed use is a Residential Use and the Housing Type for purposes of this review
is Apartment,which is an allowed use in the MUR-1 zone. This criterion is met.
B. The proposed development complies with all applicable residential and nonresidential
development standards;
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 34 OF 88
As proposed,the development does comply with all applicable residential development standards.
The applicable standards are discussed below: This criterion is met.
18.210 Residential General Provisions
18.210.020 Fence and Wall Standards
Fences and walls may be located within required setbacks.Fences and walls located within
required setbacks are subject to the standards in this section. Fences and walls located
outside required setbacks are subject to the standards in the applicable housing type
chapter in 18.200 Residential Development Standards.
A. Fences and walls in a required front setback may be a maximum of 3 feet in height
where abutting a local or neighborhood street and a maximum of 6 feet in height
where abutting a collector or arterial street.
B. Fences and walls in a required side, street side, or rear setback may be a maximum
of 8 feet in height.Fences and walls 7 feet or more in height require a building permit.
C. Fences and walls with barbed or razor wire are prohibited.
D. Fences and walls must meet vision clearance area requirements in Chapter 18.930,
Vision Clearance Areas.
A six-foot fence is proposed along the west, east,and south property lines. The site is located along
a collector street,therefore fences within the front setback may not exceed six feet. Barbed or razor
wire is not proposed and all fences will meet clear vision areas. This standard is met.
FINDING: Based on the above analysis, all of the applicable residential general provisions
have been fully met.
18.230 Apartments
18.320.020 Applicability
A. The standards of this chapter apply to nonresidential development in the C-N, C-C,
C-G, C-P, MUC, MUE, MUE-1, MUE-2, MUR-1, and MUR-2 zones. Additional
standards apply to nonresidential development in the River Terrace Plan District and
Washington Square Regional Center Plan District as provided in Chapter 18.640,
River Terrace Plan District, and Chapter 18.670, Washington Square Regional
Center Plan District.
The proposed development will be located within the MUR-1 zone upon annexation therefore, this
chapter applies. The site is also located within the Washington Square Regional Center Plan District,
however, standards in the plan district chapter only apply to nonresidential and mixed-use
developments. The Council finds that the proposal is not for a mixed use or a nonresidential use.
Rather,the Council finds that the proposal is for a type of residential use, as explained above.
18.230.040 Development Standards
A. Base zone development standards are provided in Table 18.230.1.

[2] Minimum side and rear setbacks are 0 feet, except the minimum side and rear setbacks are 20
feet where the site abuts an R-1 through R-12 zone.
The proposed front setback is 1.3 feet from the north property line adjacent to SW Hall
Boulevard. The site abuts a residential zone to the south and a 20-foot rear setback is required.
The rear setback is 53 feet. The site is not rectangular in shape and contains three sides and
two street sides. The street side setback is a minimum of five feet and a maximum of 20 feet.
The proposed street side setback adjacent to SW 92"d Avenue is 5 feet. The proposed street
side setback adjacent to SW Montage Lane is eight feet. The other three sides that require a
minimum setback of five feet meet this minimum standard. The proposed building will be four
stories and approximately 47 feet in height. The maximum lot coverage standard for the site
is 80 percent or 74,694 square feet based on a property area of 93,368 square feet. Based on
Sheet A 1.2,the applicant is proposing 74,055 square feet of impervious surface,approximately
79.3 percent. The maximum lot coverage standard for the site is 20 percent or 18,674 square
feet based on a property area of 93,368 square feet. Based on Sheet A1.2, the applicant is
proposing 19,776 square feet of landscape area, approximately 21.1 percent. Up to 25 percent
of hardscape area may be used to meet the landscape standard, the applicants are proposing to
use 4,475 square feet of hardscape area toward the landscape standard,which is approximately
22.6 percent. These standards are met.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 36 OF 88
B. Landscaping and screening. All required landscaping, including landscaping used to
meet screening or tree canopy standards, is subject to the general provisions of
Chapter 18.420, Landscaping and Screening.
1. The minimum landscape area standard is provided in Table 18.230.1.
Landscaping standards are provided in Section 18.420.040. Any landscape area
that meets the L-2 standard and any required common open space area may count
toward meeting the minimum landscape area standard.
As provided in Table 18.230.1, the minimum landscape area standard is 20 percent, or 18,674
square feet based on a property area of 93,368 square feet. Based on Sheet A1.2,the applicants are
proposing 19,776 square feet of landscape area, approximately 21.1 percent. Up to 25 percent of
hardscape area may be used to meet the landscape standard, the applicants are proposing to use
4,475 square feet of hardscape area toward the landscape standard, which is approximately 22.6
percent. This standard is met.
2. Screening standards are provided in Section 18.420.050. Screening is required as
follows:
a. Service areas and wall- and roof-mounted utilities must be screened to the S-1
standard. Service areas and utilities are also subject to the standards in
Subsection 18.230.040.G.
The narrative states that any wall or roof-mounted utilities will be screened to meet the S-1
standard. The trash areas will be located in the parking garage. Screening of service areas are
appropriately shown on Sheet L2. The applicants did not provide a plan showing how wall and
roof-mounted utilities will be screened. Prior to commencing any site work, the applicants must
submit a plan showing screening of wall- and roof-mounted utilities. This standard is met with
respect to service areas screening. With respect to wall and roof mounted utilities, the screening
standard is met through a condition of approval.
b. Apartments that abut an R-1 through R-12 zone must be screened to the S-3
standard along all property lines, except street property lines.
The site abuts a Washington County R-5 zone to the south, therefore, an S-3 screen is required
along the south property line. The site plan shows an S-3 screen along the south property line.
This standard is met.
c. Surface vehicle parking areas, loading areas, and drive aisles within 20 feet of
a street property line must be screened to the S-4 standard. Screening must be
provided directly adjacent to the street property line, except where access is
taken.
The applicants propose a drive aisle and loading area within 20 feet of a street property line. The
applicants'proposal includes a drive aisle within 20 feet of SW Hall Boulevard near the northeast
corner of the site. An S-4 screen is required, and the applicants' site plan shows an S-4 screen.
The applicants propose a loading area on the SW 92nd Avenue frontage for the temporary parking
of vehicles to facilitate the loading and unloading of residents and guests,therefore, an S-4 screen
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 37 OF 88
is required. The applicants are also proposing a loading area off of the cul-de-sac for deliveries.
The applicants' site plan shows an S-4 screen is provided for both areas. This standard is met.
3. The minimum tree canopy standards for the site and any off-street vehicle parking
areas are provided in Section 18.420.060.
The proposed parking lot meets the minimum tree canopy required, as provided in Section
18.420.060. The canopy standards are discussed later in this Decision. This standard is met.
C. Common open space.
1. Common open space is required. The minimum total area of required common
open space is 10 percent of the gross site area or 750 square feet, whichever is
greater. More than one common open space area may be provided to meet this
standard, but any area used to meet this standard must be a minimum of 20 feet
in width and depth.
2. Apartment developments with less than 20 dwelling units must provide at least 2
different items from the list below within areas identified as common open space.
Apartment developments with 20 or more dwelling units must provide at least 4
different items from the list below within areas identified as common open space.
a. Playground equipment or play area for children,
b. Sport court,
c. Playing field,
d. Lawn or garden,
e. Covered seating,
f. Swimming pool or water feature,
g. Plaza or courtyard with permanent seating,
h. Gazebo,
i. Club house,
j. Workout room, or
k. Other similar item as determined by the director.
The proposed development is for an assisted living and memory care facility.None of the proposed
rooms contain permanent cooking facilities and do not meet the definition of a dwelling unit as
explained above. Pursuant to Section 18.30.020, a dwelling unit is a structure or portion thereof
that is used for human habitation including permanent provisions for sleeping, cooking, and
sanitation. None of the assisted living or memory care suites have permanent provision for
cooking. Therefore, because the development does not include any dwelling units, this standard
does not apply. However, if the entire facility is considered a dwelling unit per the alternative
findings above, then this standard is met. For this facility, the Council finds that the indoor open
space meets the requirement for common open space. The gross site area of the site (before any
dedications) is 110,556 sq. ft. Therefore 11,055 sq. ft. of the site should be dedicated to common
open space under the above standard and the Council finds may include indoor open space. The
applicants' plans show that there is a total of 16,613 square feet of indoor common space or 15
percent of the gross site that meets the 20' x 20' dimensional standard. That calculation does not
include the assisted living or memory care courtyards or the assisted living deck. The reason is
that these latter facilities are "private" to the particular assisted living or memory care community
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 38 OF 88
and they are not generally shared among the entire community who lives in the proposed facility.
In this regard, the Council expressly interprets the term "common open space" as open space that
can serve the needs of to the entire community of assisted living and memory care residents who
live in the facility. The City Council finds again in the alternative only (if the entire facility is
viewed as a dwelling unit), that the proposed indoor common open space provided exceeds the
standard by 5 percent.
3. At least 50 percent of the dwelling units in a development must face outdoor
common open space or a public street. This standard is met when the front door
or a window from the kitchen,living room,or dining room of a dwelling unit faces
the outdoor common open space or a public street.
The proposed development does not include any dwelling units; therefore, this standard does not
apply. In the alternative only, it is clear from the plans that if the entire facility is deemed a
"dwelling unit,"that all of the proposed facility either faces common open space or a public street.
Either way, this standard is met.
4. Building facades, including accessory structure facades, that face outdoor
common open space must meet the 15 percent window area requirement in
Subsection 18.230.050.B or be screened to the S-4 standard as provided in Table
18.420.2.
The proposed development does not include any dwelling units; therefore, common open space is
not required. This standard does not apply. In the alternative only, it is clear from the plans that if
the entire facility is deemed a"dwelling unit," that the building facades that face the outdoor open
spaces well-exceed the requirement for 15 percent window area.
5. Common open space may not be located in the front setback or include sensitive
lands.
The proposed development does not include any dwelling units; therefore, common open space is
not required.This standard does not apply. In the alternative only(if the entire facility is a dwelling
unit), no common open space is in the front setback and none includes sensitive lands. It is all
indoors, so it cannot be in either.
D. Private open space.
1. Private open space is required for each dwelling unit. Each private open space
must be a minimum of 48 square feet in area and a minimum of 5 feet in width
and depth.
2. Private open space must be directly accessible from the interior of the dwelling
unit that it serves.
3. Additional common open space above the required minimum may substitute for
some or all of the required private open space at a 1:1 ratio.
The proposed development does not include any dwelling units; therefore, private open space is
not required. This standard does not apply. In the alternative only, if the entire facility is deemed
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 39 OF 88
to be a dwelling unit, then there is private open space well in excess of this requirement. The
assisted living courtyard(which the plans show is 2,986 sq. ft.)and the assisted living deck(which
the plans show is 1,009 sq. ft.) is private to the assisted living community. It well exceeds 48
square feet in area and 5-feet in width. Similarly, the memory care courtyard (which the plans
show is 1,489 sq. ft.) also well exceeds the minimum required.
E. Pedestrian access.
1. Paths must provide pedestrian access from public sidewalks abutting the site to
all required building entrances on the site.
2. Paths must provide pedestrian access between all common open space areas,
vehicle and bicycle parking areas, building entrances, and service areas designed
for use by residents. Paths within parking areas or along drive aisles are subject
to additional standards in Subsection 18.410.040.B.
3. Paths must extend to the perimeter property line to provide pedestrian access to
existing or planned pedestrian facilities on adjacent properties, such as trails or
public access easements.
4. Paths must be constructed with a hard surface material and have a minimum
unobstructed width of 5 feet.
The narrative states and the site plan shows,that a five-foot pedestrian path is provided from public
sidewalks abutting the site to all required building entrances on the site. The paths on the site
provide circulation between vehicle and bicycle parking areas,building entrances, and along drive
aisles. There are no existing or planned pedestrian facilities on adjacent properties. The applicants
are proposing an eight-foot-wide multi-use path from SW Montage Lane to SW Hall Boulevard
that will be within a public access easement.All paths will be constructed of hard surface materials
and have an unobstructed width of at least five feet. This standard is met.
F. Vehicle and bicycle parking.
1. The applicable provisions and standards of Sections 18.410.010 through
18.410.060 apply to apartment developments.
2. The standards in Sections 18.410.070 through 18.410.090 do not apply to
apartment developments.
3. The minimum and maximum number of off-street vehicle and bicycle parking
spaces are provided in Table 18.230.2. Any fractional space requirement is
rounded up to the next whole number.
The applicable provision and standards of Chapter 18.410 are discussed later in this Decision. As
explained above, the development does not include any dwelling units; therefore, there are no
minimum vehicle or bicycle parking requirements. This standard does not apply. Regardless,the
City Council finds that the applicants are proposing a total of 92 vehicle spaces that includes four
accessible spaces. With regard to parking, while the City does not have an applicable parking
standard for the proposed assisted and memory care facility, the City Council has reviewed the
evidence and argument in the record and agrees with staff and the applicants that the proposed 92
parking spaces provided by the proposal are adequate to serve the needs of the facility without
visitors, employees,vendors or residents having to park on local streets. As explained above,none
of the memory care residents have cars (or bicycles) and the evidence is that none of the assisted
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 40 OF 88
living residents commute by bicycle and only up to 5% of the assisted living residents may have
cars. The evidence in the record supports that the applicants' other similar facilities have few
visitors, that some staff to the proposed facility will commute using transit and that the maximum
number of staff onsite at the specific proposed facility at any given time will be 51 employees.
The evidence in the record establishes that the parking for the proposed facility is similar to the
parking provided by other of the applicants' facilities and that the applicants' facilities with similar
and more parking have many empty parking spaces -they are "overparked. The record supports a
finding that the parking provided for the proposed facility is adequate and is unlikely to result in
cars related to the facility having any need to park on the public street system.
In the alternative only, if the entire facility is deemed to be a "dwelling until" then the provision
on 92 parking spaces well-exceeds the minimum that would be required - which at the maximum
is 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit.
4. Apartment developments with 10 or more required vehicle parking spaces must
also provide additional vehicle parking for guests. The minimum amount of
additional parking spaces is 15 percent of the minimum vehicle parking
requirement as provided in Table 18.230.2. Guest vehicle parking must be clearly
identified with pavement markings or signs.
Parking requirements are based on dwelling units and the proposed development does not include
any dwelling units; therefore, there is no minimum parking requirement. Guest parking is not
proposed, and it is not required. This standard does not apply. Nonetheless, the record supports
a finding that the total number of 92 parking spaces proposed is adequate to provide parking for
residents, their visitors (guests), employees and any others who may visit the facility. Moreover,
in the alternative only, the Council finds that if the facility is viewed as having "dwelling units", it
can only have one "dwelling unit" for the reasons explained above. And the TCDC is clear that
one dwelling unit requires only at most 1.5 parking spaces, not 10 parking spaces. The City
Council finds that this standard simply is not triggered by the proposal here.
5. Apartment developments with 20 or more dwelling units must also provide
additional bicycle parking spaces for guests. The minimum amount of additional
parking spaces is 15 percent of the minimum bicycle parking requirement as
provided in Table 18.230.2. Guest bicycle parking must be located within 20 feet
of the street property line and be visible to pedestrians from the public sidewalk
in front of the site.Bicycle parking may be located in the public right-of-way with
approval of the City Engineer.
Parking requirements are based on dwelling units and the proposed development does not include
any dwelling units; therefore,there is no minimum parking requirement. Guest parking to include
guest bicycle parking is not required. This standard does not apply. Regardless,the applicants are
proposing a total of ten bicycle parking spaces, which is adequate for the needs of the proposed
facility. Further, the Council finds that even if the proposal is viewed as a dwelling unit, it is
viewed as one dwelling unit and therefore does not have "20 or more dwelling units" and that
means this standard is not triggered regardless.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 41 OF 88
6. Apartment developments with 20 or more dwelling units must provide all
required non-guest bicycle parking spaces inside a structure or under a roof.
Required bicycle parking is exempt from the location standard of Subsection
18.410.050.A but may not be located inside individual dwelling units.
Parking requirements are based on dwelling units and the proposed development does not include
any dwelling units; therefore, there is no minimum parking requirement. Further, as explained
above, the Council expressly rejects any interpretation of the City code that the proposed facility
has any dwelling units. Moreover, in the alternative only, the Council finds that at most, the
proposal can only have and be one dwelling unit(as explained above). Therefore, this standard is
not triggered regardless because there is no case in which the TCDC should be interpreted to mean
that the proposal as 20 dwelling units. Bicycle parking is not required. This standard does not
apply.
7. Surface parking,detached garages,and attached or detached carports may not be
located closer to a street property line than the building closest to that street
property line.
Surface parking is not located closer to a street property line than the building closest to that street
property line. Parking is also proposed on the ground floor of the building. This standard is met.
8. Parking areas may not occupy more than 50 percent of the total length of each
street frontage as measured 20 feet from the street property line. Drive aisles
without adjacent parking spaces do not count as parking areas for the purposes
of this standard.
As shown on the site plan, parking areas occupy less than 50 percent of the street frontage. This
standard is met.
9. Attached garages may be attached to any side of an apartment building. If
attached to the street-facing facade, they may not be located closer to the street
property line than the apartment building facade and the facade must include at
least 1 entrance for each proposed garage that meets the standards of Subsection
18.230.050.A. Driveways associated with attached garages that take direct
individual access from a public or private street must meet the rowhouse location
and access standards in Paragraph 18.280.050.E.3 and Subparagraph
18.280.050.E.2.a.
Garages are not proposed. This standard does not apply.
G. Utilities and service areas.
1. Private utility facilities, such as transformers or control valves,that serve a single
development must be located below ground unless the functional properties of the
facility require above-ground placement. If located above ground, all facilities 1
cubic foot or greater in volume, or with any one dimension greater than 2 feet,
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 42 OF 88
must meet the following standards where not wall- or roof-mounted or located
inside a building:
a. The facility may not be located within 20 feet of any street property line; and
b. The facility must be dark in color and painted or wrapped with a non-
reflective material
2. Service areas, such as waste and recycling containers, outdoor storage, and
mechanical equipment, may not be located within 20 feet of any street property
line, except where located inside a building.
The evidence demonstrates that all utilities will be underground and service areas where waste and
recycling containers are provided will be located within the building (the parking garage). Some
commentors objected that garbage collection vehicles will be outside the service area and will
"reach into" the underground service areas with tongs to lift containers into refuse vehicles. They
claim that such refuse collection does not meet the requirements of G(2) above. The City Council
finds that these commentors are mistaken. The Council interprets this standard, as relevant to this
objection,to refer to containers not refuse collection trucks; and that the standard means that such
refuse containers may not be located within 20-feet of any street or property line, unless the
containers are located in a building. The Council expressly finds that the containers are located
inside a building. The Council finds that this standard is met.
H. Lighting.
1. Minimum illumination levels are measured horizontally at ground level.
a. The minimum average illumination is 1.5 footcandles for paths, except those
within parking areas,which are subject to the lighting standards in Subsection
18.410.040.I.All points of measurement must be a minimum of 0.5 footcandles.
b. The minimum average illumination is 3.5 footcandles for required building
entrances and 2.0 footcandles for any non-required building entrances. All
points of measurement must be a minimum of 1.0 footcandle.
2. Maximum illumination levels are measured vertically at the property line or
sensitive lands boundary line.The maximum illumination is 0.5 footcandles at side
and rear property lines, except that the maximum illumination may be increased
to 1.0 footcandle where the development abuts a commercial or industrial zone.
The maximum illumination is 0 footcandles at any sensitive lands boundary line.
3. Lighting must be shielded, with a cutoff angle of 90 degrees or greater to ensure
that it does not shine upwards. Lighting sources, such as lamps and bulbs, may
not be directly visible from adjacent properties or sensitive lands.
The applicants have provided a photometrics analysis that meets the required elements of the
lighting standard. This standard is met.
1. Apartments are subject to all other applicable requirements of this title including but
not limited to standards related to streets, utilities, sensitive lands, and signs.
The development complies with all other applicable requirements of this title, as discussed elsewhere
in this Decision. This standard is met.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 43 OF 88
18.230.050 Design Standards
A. Entrances.
1. For dwelling units with internal building access, a minimum of 1 entrance per
building must be visible and accessible from a public or private street or outdoor
common open space.Additional entrances may face drive aisles,parking areas,or
service areas.
2. For dwelling units without internal building access, a minimum of 1 entrance per
dwelling unit must be visible and accessible from a public or private street,
outdoor common open space, or drive aisle that has a curb and path adjacent to
the dwelling unit.
3. A required building entrance must be at an angle that is no more than 45 degrees
from the street, common open space, or drive aisle that it faces. A required
building entrance to an individual dwelling unit may exceed this standard where
it opens onto a porch or stoop provided the angle is no more than 90 degrees from
the street, common open space, or drive aisle that it faces.
4. A required building entrance must be covered, recessed, or treated with a
permanent architectural feature that provides weather protection for pedestrians.
The required weather protection must be at least as wide as the entrance, a
maximum of 6 feet above the top of the entrance, and a minimum of 3 feet in
depth. The required weather protection may project into the minimum front
setback.
The development does not include any dwelling units; therefore, the first two standards do not
apply. The Council finds in the alternative only, that if the facility is in total a "dwelling unit"
that (A)(1) is met and(A)(2) would not apply. There is internal building access and there is a
minimum of one building access that is visible and accessible from Hall Boulevard and from 92nd
Avenue.
With respect to TCC 18.230.050(A)(2) and(3), the City Council finds that the required entrance
is visible from SW Hall Boulevard, is parallel to the drive aisle it faces, and is covered by a roof.
The second entrance that is parallel to the drive aisle on SW 92nd Avenue is also covered. Both
entrances meet the dimensional standards and maximum height standards as shown on the
elevation plans (Sheet A7 and A8). This standard is met.
B. Windows.
1. All building facades that face a public or private street must include a minimum
of 15 percent window area.
2. The minimum window area standard does not apply to stories with sloped roofs
or dormers.
The elevation drawing submitted shows that the north fagade that faces SW Hall Boulevard will
provide 22 percent window area. The west fagade that faces SW Montage Lane and SW 92nd Ave
will provide between 16 to 19 percent window area. This standard is met.
C. Facade design.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 44 OF 88
1. All building facades that face a public or private street or outdoor common open
space must include at least 2 different architectural features from the list provided
below.An additional 2 different architectural features per facade are required on
all buildings with 20 or more dwelling units. This standard may be met by
including different architectural features on different facades of the same
building. Buildings that do not include dwelling units are exempt from providing
architectural features on facades that face common open areas, but must provide at
least 2 different architectural features on all street-facing facades.
a. Facade articulation. A wall projection or recession that is a minimum of 6 feet
in width and 2 feet in depth for a minimum of half the height of the facade and
with a maximum distance of 40 feet between projections or recessions.
b. Roof eave or projecting cornice.
i. An eave that projects a minimum of 12 inches from the building facade; or
ii. A cornice that projects a minimum of 6 inches from the building facade
and is a minimum of 12 inches in height.
c. Roof offsets or dormers.
i. A roof offset that is a minimum of 2 feet from the top surface of one roof
to the top surface of another roof as measured horizontally or vertically
with a maximum distance of 40 feet between offsets. See Figure 18.230.1;
or
ii. One dormer for each top-story dwelling unit that is a minimum of 4 feet in
width and integrated into the roof form.
d. Accent siding. A minimum of 2 different siding materials are used, and one
siding material covers a minimum of 40 percent of the building facade.
e. Distinct base and top. The first story is visually distinguished from the upper
stories by including a belt course and at least one of the following:
i. a change in surface or siding pattern;
ii. a change in surface or siding material; or
iii. a change in the size or orientation of windows.
L Window area. A minimum of 50 percent window area is included.
g. Window shadowing. All windows include at least one of the following:
i. Window trim that is a minimum of 2.5 inches in width and 0.625 inches in
depth; or
ii. Windows that are recessed a minimum of 3 inches from the building
facade.
h. Balconies. Balconies are included on all upper stories that meet the
dimensional requirement for private open space provided in Subsection
18.230.040.D.
i. Covered porches or recessed entrances. All first-story dwelling units with
individual entrances include at least one of the following:
i. A covered porch that is a minimum of 5 feet in width and depth; or
ii. An entrance area that is a minimum of 5 feet in width and recessed a
minimum of 2 feet from the building facade.
j. Enhanced entrances or awnings. A building that provides internal access to
dwelling units includes at least one of the following:
i. A building entrance area that is a minimum of 8 feet in width and is either:
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 45 OF 88
(A)recessed a minimum of 5 feet from the building facade, or
(B)covered with a permanent architectural feature that provides weather
protection. The architectural feature must be at least as wide as the
entry, a maximum of 6 feet above the top of the entry, and a minimum
of 5 feet in depth. The architectural feature may project into the
minimum front setback; or
ii. A permanent architectural feature above all first-story windows, such as
an awning or series of awnings,that are at least as wide as each window, a
maximum of 6 feet above the top of each window, and a minimum of 3 feet
in depth. The architectural feature may project into the minimum front
setback.
The proposed development does not include any dwelling units, therefore, the Council finds per
the express terms of the above standard that only two different architectural features are required
for buildings without dwelling units. The north fagade faces SW Hall Boulevard and the west
fagade faces SW 92 Avenue and SW Montage Lane. The north fagade and west fagade portion
that faces SW 92"d Avenue provide articulation and an enhanced entrance with a permanent
architectural feature. The west fagade facing the cul-de-sac on SW Montage Lane provides
articulation and roof offset.
In the alternative only if the entire facility is viewed as one dwelling unit under the alternative
interpretation of the TCDC expressed above,the Council finds that this standard applies enhanced
fagade requirements to"all buildings with 20 or more dwelling units". The Council finds that there
is no interpretation of the TCDC that it agrees with in which there are "20 or more dwelling units"
in the facility. The Council finds that this standard is met.
2. The following building materials are prohibited on all building facades,including
accessory structure facades, that face a public or private street or outdoor
common open space. They may not be used collectively on more than 35 percent
of any other building facade.
a. Vinyl PVC siding,
b. T-111 plywood,
c. Exterior insulation finishing (EIFS),
d. Corrugated metal,
e. Plain concrete or concrete block,
f. Spandrel glass, or
g. Sheet pressboard.
The development does not include any of the prohibited materials. This standard is met.
18.230.060 Accessory Structures
Accessory structures are allowed subject to the following standards:
A. Accessory structures are prohibited in the required front or street side setback;
B. Accessory structures may be located in the required side or rear setback provided
they are a minimum of 5 feet from the side and rear property lines and a maximum
of 15 feet in height; and
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 46 OF 88
C. All accessory structures, including structures required to screen utilities and service
areas, and all site improvements, such as fences, walls, signs, and light fixtures, must
use materials, colors, and architectural design features that are similar in scale and
appearance to those on primary buildings.Chain link fencing and unfinished concrete
blocks are prohibited.
Accessory structures are not proposed. These standards do not apply.
FINDING: Based on the above analysis,all applicable apartment development standards have
been fully met.
C. The proposed development complies with all applicable supplemental development
standards,including but not limited to off-street parking and landscaping standards;
As described in the following section of the report, the proposed development does comply with all
applicable supplemental development standards (18.400's):
18.410 Off-Street Parking and Loading
18.410.020 Applicability
The provisions of this chapter apply to all new development and all modifications to
existing development, including changes of use, unless stated otherwise.
The proposal is for an assisted living and memory care facility, which is considered development.
Therefore, this chapter applies.
18.410.030 General Provisions
A. Location. Required off-street parking must be located on the same lot as the use it
serves, except where an on-street credit has been granted through the provisions of
Section 18.410.090.
All proposed parking for the development is located on the same lot as the development. This
standard is met.
F. Accessible Parking.All parking areas must include the required number of accessible
parking spaces as specified by the state building code and federal standards. Such
parking spaces must be sized, signed, and marked as required by these regulations
and in compliance with ORS 447.
Based on the 92 vehicle parking spaces provided, four accessible parking spaces are required. The
proposal includes four accessible parking spaces. The spaces are proposed to be sized, signed, and
marked as required. This standard is met.
18.410.040 General Design Standards
A. Vehicular access. Vehicular access to off-street parking or loading areas must meet
the requirements of Chapter 18.920, Access, Egress, and Circulation and Chapter
18.930, Vision Clearance Areas.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 47 OF 88
The proposed access meets the requirements of Chapter 18.920, as discussed later in this Decision.
The proposed development has frontage on a both an arterial and a non-arterial street. The vision
clearance areas are shown on the plans and comply with the requirements of Chapter 18.930. As
shown on the applicants'preliminary site plan,vision clearance triangles have been established at the
intersections of the new proposed driveways in preliminary accordance with the standards of this
chapter. The City Council finds that this standard is met.
B. Pedestrian access. Paths that cross access driveways or parking areas are subject to
the following:
1. Paths must be physically separated from motor vehicle traffic and parking by
either a minimum 6-inch vertical separation (curbed) or a minimum 3-foot
horizontal separation,except that pedestrian crossings of traffic aisles are allowed
for distances no greater than 36 feet if appropriate landscaping, pavement
markings, or contrasting pavement materials are used;
2. Paths must be a minimum of 4 feet in width, exclusive of vehicle overhangs and
obstructions such as mailboxes, benches, bicycle racks, and sign posts; and
3. Paths must be in compliance with applicable federal and state accessibility
standards.
The proposed paths are separated from vehicular traffic by a curb and do not cross drive aisles by
more than 36 feet. The paths are five feet wide. All paths meet the minimum unobstructed width
of four feet. The paths will comply with state and federal accessibility standards. This standard
is met
C. Loading and unloading driveways. Passenger loading and unloading areas must be
designed such that vehicle stacking does not impact any public right-of-way.
The applicants have proposed two driveways along SW 92nd Avenue for a drop off location for
loading and unloading. As shown on Sheet Al provided by the applicants, the proposed loading
and unloading area provides sufficient vehicle stacking length to accommodate three vehicles on
private property outside of the public right-of-way. The proposed design allows sufficient vehicle
stacking length on private property for one vehicle to exit the driveway, one vehicle to actively
load or unload, and one vehicle to queue while not impacting the public right of way. Some
commentors argued that the queuing for pick ups and drop offs at the memory care access on 92nd
Avenue will have long queues that will spill onto the public street because it takes memory care
residents a long time to get in and out of vehicles. The Council disagrees that queueing will impact
the street system. First, the facility will have only 33 memory care residents and these are the
people using the loading area on 92nd Avenue. There is ample room in the loading and unloading
areas for three cars per the applicants' sheet Al and that is adequate for the needs of that facility.
Second,because the memory care facility is a secure facility where residents are signed in and out
to be released, their family will park in the parking garage and take the elevator to the memory
care facility to retrieve their loved one, sign them out, and take them (likely via wheelchair)to the
car in the parking garage. A similar pattern will occur for returns, where loved ones will park in
the garage,take their loved one to the memory care facility, sign them in,transfer their care to staff
and then leave from the parking garage. Memory care residents cannot sign themselves in or out
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 48 OF 88
of the facility. Therefore, as a practical matter, there is no pick up or drop off of memory care
residents by their family in the loading area off of 92nd Avenue. The Council finds that this
standard is met.
E. Surfacing. Off-street parking areas must be paved with an asphalt, concrete, or
pervious paving surface,with the following exceptions:
1. Off-street parking areas associated with a temporary use application, as provided
in Chapter 18.440, Temporary Uses, provided the approval authority determines
that unpaved parking will not create adverse conditions.
2. Off-street overflow parking areas in the Parks and Recreation zone.
All off-street parking areas will be paved. This standard is met.
F. Striping.
1. Except for parking required for single detached houses and accessory dwelling
units, and individual spaces for rowhouses, all off-street parking spaces must be
clearly and separately identified with pavement markings or contrasting paving
materials; and
2. All interior drives and access aisles must be clearly marked and signed to show
direction of flow.
All off-street parking spaces are clearly and separately identified with pavement markings. Interior
drives and access aisles that provide access through the site from SW Montage Lane and SW Hall
boulevard, entrance to the parking garage on the east side, and circulation within the parking
garage are clearly marked and signed on the Sheet Al. This standard is met.
G. Wheel stops. Parking bumpers or wheel stops a minimum of 4 inches in height must
be provided a minimum of 3 feet from the front of parking spaces wherever vehicles
can encroach on a right-of-way or pedestrian path. Curbing may substitute for wheel
stops if vehicles will not encroach into the minimum required width for landscape or
pedestrian paths.
Wheel stops are shown on the site plan in places where the overhang encroaches into landscape
areas. This standard is met.
H. Lighting. Lighting in parking areas must meet the following standards:
1. Parking areas must include lighting sufficient to illuminate all pedestrian paths
and bicycle parking areas to a minimum level of 0.5 footcandles at all points,
measured horizontally at the ground level.
2. Lighting luminaires must have a cutoff angle of 90 degrees or greater to ensure
that lighting is directed toward the parking surface.
3. Parking area lighting may not cause a light trespass of more than 0.5 footcandles
measured vertically at the boundaries of the site.
A photometrics analysis was submitted that meets the elements of this standard. This standard is
met.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 49 OF 88
I. Space and aisle dimensions.The minimum dimensional standards for surface parking
spaces and drive aisles are provided in Figure 18.410.1 and Table 18.410.2.
As shown on the site plan, all parking stalls meet the dimensional standards. This standard is met.
18.430.050 Bicycle Parking Design Standards
A. Location.
1. Required bicycle parking must be located within 50 feet of a required or main
entrance of a primary building; and
2. Required bicycle parking for nonresidential development must be covered and
located within 100 feet of a required or main entrance of a primary building on
the site if any required vehicle parking spaces are provided in a structure.
Bicycle parking is not required for this development; however, it is provided within 50 feet of the
north building entrance. This standard does not apply because no bicycle parking is required for
the facility. Nonetheless, the standard is met.
B. Design.
1. Bicycle racks must be designed to allow a bicycle frame to lock to it at 2 points of
contact, except that spiral racks and wave racks with more than one loop are
prohibited;
2. Bicycle racks must be securely anchored to the ground, wall, or other structure;
3. Bicycle parking spaces must be at least 2.5 feet in width and 6 feet in length and
have an access aisle between each row of spaces that is at least 5 feet in width.
Covered bicycle parking must provide a vertical clearance of 7 feet; and
4. Bicycle parking spaces must be paved with a dust-free hard surface material.
The proposed bicycle racks will allow a bicycle frame to lock to it at two points of contact and
will be a U-shaped style. The racks will be securely anchored to the ground on a paved surface.
The development proposes ten bicycle parking spaces. The applicants' site plan (Sheet A1) shows
that the bicycle spaces meet the dimensional standards. This standard is met.
C. Quantity. The total number of required bicycle parking spaces for each use is
provided in Table 18.410.3. If the minimum bicycle parking requirement as
calculated in Table 18.410.3 is less than two spaces, then the minimum number of
spaces is two. Single detached houses, accessory dwelling units, cottage clusters,
courtyard units, quads, and rowhouses are exempt from minimum bicycle parking
standards.
The bicycle parking quantity requirements do not apply as is discussed under Chapter 18.230 in this
Decision. The reason is that the proposed facility does not include any "dwelling units" as the City
defines that term and the requirement for bicycle parking in Chapter 18.230 is tied to dwelling units.
This standard either does not apply or it is met.
18.410.070 Vehicle Parking Quantity Standards
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 50 OF 88
A. Off-street parking requirements. The ratios for providing minimum and maximum
vehicle parking spaces are provided in Table 18.410.3. If application of the maximum
parking standard results in less than 6 parking spaces for a development with less than
1,000 square feet of floor area, the development is allowed up to 6 parking spaces. If
application of the maximum parking standard results in less than 10 vehicle parking
spaces for a development between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet, the development is
allowed up to 10 vehicle parking spaces.
There are no applicable maximum parking quantity requirements as is explained in this Decision
under the findings regarding Chapter 18.230. In sum, the parking requirements are tied to "dwelling
units" and the proposal includes no "dwelling units." Therefore, there are no applicable on-site
parking area requirements. Regardless, the evidence in the record establishes that the parking
provided by the proposal is adequate and there is no plan or need to use on-street parking.
The City Council asked staff to produce information about the Bonaventure and other facilities that
the city has approved. If the parking assumptions for the Bonaventure development are applied here,
the proposed facility has more parking than was required for that facility:
e. Off-street parking shall be in accordance with Chapter 18.765.
Response! An adjustment to the off-street parking standards was originally requested to reduce the
minimum required parking from 120 to 105 spaces,consistent with$onaventure's experience with Senior
Housing and Chapters I8.765 and 18.370,but the adjustment is unnecessary as the applicant submitted
plans on April 15 that demonstrate parking facilities and a revised unit rrux in compliance with the
standards of chapter 18.765,as demonstrated in the table below. This standard is tnet.
Parking Standard Pro posed Match 17 RevigedA til 21
Independent 1.0 per room 71 70
Assisted 1-0 per 2.5 beds 57 59
MemoryCare 1.0 per 2.5 beds 24 23
Total Units 152 152
Required Parking120 spaces 119 spaces
Proposed Parkin 105 spaces 12D s aces
The Cedarbrook proposal will have 194 beds. Using the ratio of 1 parking space per 2.5 beds for
Assisted Living and Memory Care per the above table referenced from the Bonaventure approval,
means that the total requirement for Cedarbrook would be 77.6 spaces. Because Cedarbrook proposes
92 spaces,it will provide 14 spaces more than the minimum parking requirement that the city applied
to Bonaventure. The standards that applied to the Bonaventure facility are no longer in the city code.
However, as a sensitivity test, this information establishes that the proposed amount of parking is
adequate and unlikely to cause any need for use of streets for parking.
In the alternative only, if the entire facility is a dwelling unit per the analysis above, then it provides
the minimum of 1.5 parking spaces. This standard either does not apply or it is met.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, all applicable off-street parking and loading
standards are met.
18.420 Landscaping and Screening
18.420.020 Applicability
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 51 OF 88
A. Landscapinll standards. Landscaping standards apply to new and existing
development that must provide a minimum amount of landscape area as required by
the applicable development standards chapter.
The proposal is for a new development, this section applies.
B. Screening standards. Screening standards apply to new and existing development
with uses or site improvements that must be screened from other uses or the street as
required by the applicable development standards chapter.
The proposal is for a new development, this section applies.
C. Tree canopy standards. Site and parking lot tree canopy standards apply to the
following types of new and existing development, except that parking lot tree canopy
standards do not apply to subdivisions or partitions:
1. Subdivisions and partitions;
2. Apartments;
3. Nonresidential development, including mixed-use developments;
4. Wireless communication facilities; and
5. Mobile home parks.
The proposal is for a new development, this section applies.
18.420.060 Tree Canopy Standards
A. Site tree canopy standards, which are stated as a percentage of effective tree canopy
cover for an entire site, are provided in UFM Section 10, Part 3, Subparts N and O.
Parking lot tree canopy standards are provided below.
The required tree canopy for the proposed development is 33 percent. The applicants submitted an
urban forestry plan. Compliance with the site tree canopy standards is discussed in Subsection
18.420.060.13 below.
B. An urban forestry plan is required to demonstrate compliance with site and parking lot
tree canopy standards and must meet the requirements of UFM Sections 10 through 13.
An urban forestry plan must:
1. Be coordinated and approved by a project landscape architect or project arborist,
i.e. a person that is both a certified arborist and tree risk assessor, except that land
partitions may demonstrate compliance with effective tree canopy cover and soil
volume requirements by planting street trees in open soil volumes only;
An Urban Forestry Plan that was coordinated and approved by Brian Lind of Lenity Architecture,
Inc, a certified landscape architect, and Todd Prager of Teragan and Associates, Inc, a certified
arborist and tree risk assessor has been submitted. This standard is met.
2. Demonstrate compliance with UFM tree preservation and removal site plan
standards;
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 52 OF 88
A tree preservation and removal site plan that meets the standards set forth in the Urban Forestry
Manual has been submitted, see Sheet L1. The City Council notes that the applicants submitted a
revised C101 to ensure consistency between the arborists report and the L1 drawing. Only trees
located within the boundaries of the subject properties are proposed for removal. In response to public
comments, a condition of approval is added to ensure this is the case. All open grown trees and five
stands of trees are proposed for removal in order to accommodate the proposed site and street
improvements. This standard is met.
3. Demonstrate compliance with UFM tree canopy and supplemental report standards
and provide the minimum effective tree canopy cover;
A tree canopy site plan that meets the standards set forth in the Urban Forestry Manual has been
submitted.
A supplemental report was prepared and submitted by Brian Lind of Lenity Architecture, Inc, a
certified landscape architect and Todd Prager of Teragan and Associates,Inc, a certified arborist and
tree risk assessor.This report includes all required items,as outlined in Section 10,Part 3, Subsection
D of the Urban Forestry Manual. The minimum required effective tree canopy for the entire site is 33
percent. The supplemental report states that the effective tree canopy for the entire site is 34.7 percent
(32,473 square feet). Commentors requested that the two white oak trees on the site and other trees
be preserved. However,the city code does not require that those trees be preserved and the Council
acknowledges that it is only allowed to apply standards and criteria to the proposal that are in the
city's acknowledged code. This standard meets the requirements regarding trees in the City's
acknowledged code.
4. Demonstrate compliance with parking lot tree canopy standards,where applicable,
by providing the minimum effective tree canopy cover of 30 percent for all parking
areas,including parking spaces and drive aisles.Only the percentage of tree canopy
directly above parking areas may count toward meeting this standard; and
The proposed parking lot canopy plan shows parking lot trees distributed throughout the parking lot
that provide 5,659 square feet of canopy coverage. The parking lot area is approximately 13,451
square feet and the trees provide approximately 42 percent canopy. This standard is met.
5. Include street trees where right-of-way improvements are required by Chapter
18.910,Improvement Standards.
a. The minimum number of required street trees is determined by dividing the
length in feet of the site's street frontage by 40 feet.When the result is a fraction,
the minimum number of street trees is the nearest whole number.More than the
minimum number of street trees may be required along the site's frontage
depending upon the stature of trees chosen and the specific spacing standards
for the chosen trees.
b. Street trees must be planted within the right-of-way wherever practicable.Street
trees may be planted a maximum of 6 feet from the right-of-way when planting
within the right-of-way is not practicable as determined by the City Engineer.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 53 OF 88
c. An existing tree may be used to meet the street tree standards provided that:
i. The largest percentage of the tree trunk immediately above the trunk flare
or root buttresses is either within the subject site or within the right-of-way
immediately adjacent to the subject site; and
ii. The tree would be permitted as a street tree in compliance with UFM street
tree planting and soil volume standards if it were newly planted.
The linear amount of adjacent street frontage on the site is approximately 1,011 feet; therefore, the
site is required to have a minimum of 25 street trees (1,011 feet divided by 40 feet, rounded to the
nearest whole number). The applicants provided a tree canopy site plan that shows 25 new street trees
will be planted at this site. Furthermore,the project landscape architect submitted an Urban Forestry
Plan Supplemental Report, which describes how the street trees will be maintained according to the
Street Tree Soil Volume Standards that are outlined in the Urban Forestry Manual. These standards
are met.
E. Urban forestry plan implementation.
1. Implementation of the urban forestry plan must be inspected, documented, and
reported by the project arborist or landscape architect in compliance with the
inspection requirements in UFM Section 11,Part 1,wherever an urban forestry plan
is in effect. In addition,no person may refuse entry or access to the Director for the
purpose.
Implementation of the urban forestry plan will be inspected,documented, and reported by the project
landscape architect and project arborist in compliance with the inspection requirements in UFM
Section 11,Part 1. This standard is met through the following conditions of approval.
Prior to commencing any site work,the project landscape architect must perform a site inspection for
tree protection measures, document compliance/non-compliance with the Urban Forestry Plan, and
send written verification with a signature of approval directly to the project planner within one week
of the site inspection.
The project landscape architect must perform semimonthly (twice monthly) site inspections for tree
protection measures during periods of active site development and construction, document
compliance/non-compliance with the Urban Forestry Plan, and send written verification with a
signature of approval directly to the project planner within one week of the site inspection.
2. The establishment of all trees shown to be planted in the tree canopy site plan and
supplemental report of a previously approved urban forestry plan must be
guaranteed and required in compliance with the tree establishment requirements in
UFM Section 11,Part 2.
Section 11, Part 2, Subsection A of the Urban Forestry Manual states that prior to any site work, the
applicants must provide a tree establishment bond for all on-site trees to be planted per the approved
urban forestry plan. Therefore, a condition of approval is added to address this requirement. This
standard will be met through conditions.
Prior to commencing any site work,the applicants must provide a tree establishment bond that meets
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 54 OF 88
the requirements of the Urban Forestry Manual, Section 11, Part 2. This bond amount will be for
newly planted trees.
3. Spatial and species-specific data must be collected in compliance with the urban
forestry inventory requirements in UFM Section 11,Part 3 for each open grown tree
and area of stand grown trees in the tree canopy site plan and supplemental report
of a previously approved urban forestry plan.
Section 11, Part 3, Subsection B of the Urban Forestry Manual states that prior to any site work, the
applicant must provide a fee to cover the city's cost of collecting and processing the inventory data
for the entire Urban Forestry Plan. Therefore, a condition of approval is added to address this
requirement. This standard will be met through conditions.
Prior to commencing any site work, the applicants must provide a fee to cover the city's cost of
collecting and processing the inventory data for the entire urban forestry plan (Urban Forestry
Manual, Section 11,Part 3).
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, all applicable landscaping and screening standards
are met or can be through conditions of approval.
D. The proposed development complies with all applicable special designation standards,
including but not limited to sensitive lands protection;
The development does not contain any special designations and no identified Sensitive Lands. The
wetland on the site is not a Significant Wetland identified within the Tigard Local Wetland Inventory
and so is not regulated by the City of Tigard. This criterion does not apply.
E. The proposed development complies with all applicable plan district standards and
requirements; and;
The development is located within the Washington Square Regional Center Plan District, however,
the standards of that chapter only apply to nonresidential and mixed-use development. This criterion
does not apply.
F. The proposed development complies with all applicable street and utility standards and
requirements.
As described below, the proposed development does comply with all applicable street and utility
standards or can be made to comply through conditions of approval. This criterion is met.
18.910 Improvement Standards
18.910.020 General Provisions
A. Applicability. Unless otherwise provided,construction,reconstruction or repair of
streets, sidewalks, curbs, and other public improvements shall occur in compliance
with the standards of this title.No development may occur and no land use application
may be approved unless the public facilities related to development comply with the
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 55 OF 88
public facility requirements established in this chapter and adequate public facilities
are available.Applicants may be required to dedicate land and build required public
improvements only when the required exaction is directly related to and roughly
proportional to the impact of the development.
The proposal includes the construction of new structures,this chapter applies.
18.910.030 Streets
A. Improvements.
1. No development shall occur unless the development has frontage or approved access
to a public street.
2. No development shall occur unless streets within the development meet the
standards of this chapter.
3. No development shall occur unless the streets adjacent to the development meet the
standards of this chapter,provided, however,that a development may be approved
if the adjacent street does not meet the standards but half-street improvements
meeting the standards of this chapter are constructed adjacent to the development.
4. Any new street or additional street width planned as a portion of an existing street
shall meet the standards of this chapter.
5. If the city could and would otherwise require the applicant to provide street
improvements,the City Engineer may accept a future improvements guarantee in
lieu of street improvements if one or more of the following conditions exist
a. A partial improvement is not feasible due to the inability to achieve proper
design standards;
b. A partial improvement may create a potential safety hazard to motorists or
pedestrians;
c. Due to the nature of existing development on adjacent properties it is unlikely
that street improvements would be extended in the foreseeable future and the
improvement associated with the project under review does not, by itself,
provide a significant improvement to street safety or capacity;
d. The improvement would be in conflict with an adopted capital improvement
plan;
e. The improvement is associated with an approved land partition on property
zoned residential and the proposed land partition does not create any new
streets; or
L Additional planning work is required to define the appropriate design
standards for the street and the application is for a project which would
contribute only a minor portion of the anticipated future traffic on the street.
6. The standards of this chapter include the standard specifications adopted by the
City Engineer in compliance with Subsection 18.910.020.B.
7. The approval authority may approve adjustments to the standards of this chapter
if compliance with the standards would result in an adverse impact on natural
features such as wetlands, bodies of water, significant habitat areas, steep slopes,
or existing mature trees. The approval authority may also approve adjustments
to the standards of this chapter if compliance with the standards would have a
substantial adverse impact on existing development or would preclude
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 56 OF 88
development on the property where the development is proposed. In approving
an adjustment to the standards, the approval authority shall balance the benefit
of the adjustment with the impact on the public interest represented by the
standards.In evaluating the impact on the public interest,the approval authority
shall consider the criteria listed in Subsection 18.910.030.E.An adjustment to the
standards may not be granted if the adjustment would risk public safety.
As shown in the preliminary site plan, the proposed development has frontage on SW Hall
Boulevard, SW 92nd Avenue and an existing public street stub from SW Montage Lane. SW Hall
Boulevard is classified as an arterial and is under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT). Southwest 92nd Avenue and SW Montage Lane are classified as local
streets and are under the jurisdiction of the City of Tigard.
As shown in the preliminary civil plans, street improvements, including additional street width,
are proposed along the applicants' frontage on SW Hall Boulevard, SW Montage Lane, and SW
92nd Avenue in preliminary accordance with the standards of this chapter,ODOT Highway Design
Manual (HDM) standards, and the City of Tigard Public Improvement Design Standards.
Improvements must meet the following City of Tigard minimum requirements:
SW Hall Boulevard(3 Lane Arterial,half-street improvements):
0 45' minimum right-of-way dedication from centerline

The applicants have proposed street improvements, including additional street width, along the
applicants' frontage on SW Hall Boulevard, SW Montage Lane, and SW 92nd Avenue in
preliminary accordance with the standards of this chapter,ODOT Highway Design Manual(HDM)
standards, and the City of Tigard Public Improvement Design Standards. SW Hall Boulevard is
under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).
According to comments received from ODOT(ODOT Response Letter#8942 dated April 29,2021),
ODOT staff have met with the applicants'civil engineer several times to discuss the conceptual layout
for the improvements within highway right of way. The applicants' submitted civil plan sheet #105
shows the layout for improvements on SW Hall Blvd which is consistent with input from ODOT.
The plan sheet identifies that additional right of way is necessary to construct improvements within
the highway right of way. ODOT recommends that the City of Tigard require the applicant to donate
right of way to ODOT consistent with applicants' civil plan sheet #105. As discussed with the
applicants,the ODOT Highway Design Manual standard left turn lane is 14-feet,so the applicants are
required to obtain a Design Exception from ODOT for the proposed 12-ft left turn lane.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 58 OF 88
Prior to commencing any site work,the applicants must obtain all required approvals and permits for
construction from all necessary agencies, including but not limited to, ODOT in accordance with the
ODOT Response Letter#8942 (dated April 29, 2021).
According to a memorandum provided by the applicants on June 10, 2021, from Wendie L.
Kellington, the applicants established that the extension of SW Montage Lane for a full street
connection to SW Hall Boulevard, in accordance with Tigard Community Development Code
18.910.030.H.,is not roughly proportional to the impact of the development. The draft traffic impact
analysis prepared by the applicants,dated May 19,2020,establishes that the development is expected
to generate an average of 484 daily trips,of which 80%of the site trips are estimated to be distributed
to/from the proposed site access to SW Hall Boulevard and 20% of the site trips are estimated to be
distributed to the private driveway connection at SW Montage Lane. A more recent traffic analysis
prepared and submitted in the Kittelson final January 4, 2021 Traffic Impact Analysis is based upon
closer study and national and local sources of information and supersedes the draft May 19, 2020
traffic analysis. Specifically, the Kittelson final January 4, 2021 Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)
provided a trip distribution estimate supported by more detailed data and analysis. That January 4,
2021 final TIA establishes that only 5% of site trips are projected to use SW Montage Lane and SW
92nd Avenue to access the site and that equates to 2 weekday AM peak hour trips (1 entering and I
exiting) and 3 weekday PM peak hour trips (1 entering and 2 exiting). The City Council finds that
even assuming 20%of the site traffic could use SW Montage Lane as contemplated in the applicants
draft May 19, 2020 TIA, that would result in 10 PM peak hour trips (4 entering, 6 exiting) traveling
on SW Montage Lane and 92nd Ave. Therefore, the City Council agrees that the impacts of this
proposed development are not proportional to the costs of a public through-street connection in this
location. Some public testimony raised concerns regarding the amount off-site traffic expected to use
SW Montage Lane to access the site, arguing that much greater trip distribution should be assumed
from the proposal to SW Montage Lane and 92nd Ave. However, the City Council finds that the
applicants adequately responded to these concerns in the March 28, 2022, 2nd Open Record Period
Testimony memorandum prepared by Kittelson&Associates, Inc.
Pursuant to Tigard Community Development Code 18.910.030.L, a cul-de-sac is required when
strict adherence to other standards in the code precludes a full street connection and through
circulation. Here the requirements of rough proportionality foreclose the city from requiring the
full street improvement that the code contemplates. TDC 18.910.020(A). Therefore, a cul-de-sac
is required in its place. As required by City Code,all cul-de-sacs must terminate with a turnaround.
The applicants have provided the required cul-de-sac for the public terminus of SW Montage Lane
with the required minimum widths for street characteristics in accordance with Tigard Community
Development Code Table 18.910.1. Pursuant to Tigard Community Development Code
18.910.040, while the full street connection is improper for the city to exact, the applicants'
preliminary site plan provides the required eight-foot multiple use path connection within a public
access easement in accordance with the standards of this chapter.
Some commentors asked the city to require a street through the site from SW Montage Ave to Hall
Boulevard; others objected to any traffic on SW Montage Ave., presumably objecting to extending
Montage as a through street between SW Montage and Hall. Regardless, there is no serious dispute
that the city cannot demand a street through the site under the Dolan v. City of Tigard 512 US 374,
114 S.Ct. 2309, 129 L.Ed.2d 304 (1994)United States Supreme Court holding that such an exaction
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 59 OF 88
can only be required if the city demonstrates rough proportionality to justify the exaction. Similarly,
to impose an exaction,the city must establish that there is an essential nexus between the posited cut
through-street and the proposed Cedarbrook Senior Assisted Living and Memory Care facility to
support an exaction under Nollan v. California Coastal Comm'n., 483 US 825, 107 S.Ct. 3141, 97
L.Ed.2d 677 (1987). As the Oregon Court of Appeals has explained,Nollan requires that there be a
government interest that could form the basis for denial of an application that is substantially impeded
by the impacts that flow from a project. Hill v. City of Portland, 293 Or App 283, 289-90 (2018)
(citing,Nollan, 483 US at 835-36). Here, the proposal is for a unified assisted living—memory care
facility located in a single building occupying much of the site. It requires no more than direct
driveway access to Hall Blvd. and to Montage Ln., which is what is proposed, and then requires
adequate on-site circulation for parking and deliveries, which is also proposed. The Council finds
that neither an essential nexus nor rough proportionality can be shown to justify an exaction of a cut
through street through the subject property.
An exaction cannot be required if it does not meet constitutional tests. Dudek v. Umatilla County,
187 Or App 504, 69 P3d 751 (2003) (affirming county decision not to enforce a provision of its
ordinance and not to impose a related condition due to disproportional relationship between
development impacts and costs of condition);Hill v. City of Portland,293 Or App 283,285,428 P3d
986(2018)("the city cannot evade the requirement that it demonstrate that the impacts of a particular
proposal substantially impede a legitimate governmental interest so as to permit the denial of a permit
outright, simply by defining approval criteria that do not take into account a proposal's impacts.");
Kingsley v. City of Portland, 55 Or LUBA 256,267-68 (2007),aff'd 218 Or App 229 (2008) (same);
McClure v. City of Springfield, 37 Or LUBA at 769("We agree with both parties that the fact that an
exaction is required by city ordinance is irrelevant to whether an exaction is imposed pursuant to that
ordinance is in fact roughly proportional to the impacts of development."). (Emphasis added.) Only
impacts that reasonably flow from the proposed development can be mitigated by demanded
exactions. McClure 1, 37 Or LUBA at 764 (citing, Schultz v. City of Grants Pass, 131 Or App 220,
228, 884 P2d 569 (1994). The city is not allowed to consider benefits to the general public or
surrounding neighborhood that will flow from an exaction when evaluating rough proportionality for
an exaction. Art Picullel Group, 142 Or App at 337 n 4;McClure 1, 37 Or LUBA at 771; Carver v.
City of Salem, 42 Or LUBA at 334-35. Likewise, the fact that an applicant may have known that an
exaction might be sought, does not support an exaction. McClure 1, 37 Or LUBA at 770. A single
erroneous finding that plays a significant role in the required constitutional analysis can lead to
reversal of a decision on constitutional grounds. Art Picullel Group, 142 Or App at 335. Oregon
courts have been clear that when a city standard would lead to an impermissible exaction on
development,the decision maker can decide not to apply the standard that would impose the exaction.
Dudek v. Umatilla County, 187 Or App 504, 506, 69 P3d 751 (2003); Columbia Riverkeeper v.
Clatsop County, 58 Or LUBA 235, 241(2009). That is what the city must do here.
The Council understands that before the City can impose conditions of approval demanding exactions
to include either land dedications or demands for construction of street improvements,that the city must
perform the analysis required by Nollan v. California Coastal Comm'n, supra, and Dolan v. City of
Tigard,supra. As a result,neither a demand for unconstitutional conditions nor denying an application
for housing because the developer will not accede to unconstitutional conditions are allowed.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 60 OF 88
Therefore,the burden of demonstrating that an exaction satisfies constitutional requirements rests upon
the city; it is not an applicant's burden to show that a condition is unconstitutional. Dolan 512 US at
391. Relatedly, ORS 197.796(4) states "In any challenge to a condition of approval that is subject to
the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the local government
shall have the burden of demonstrating compliance with the constitutional requirements for imposing
the condition." The Court of Appeals discussed the government's burden in Art Piculell Group v.
Clackamas County, 142 Or App 327, 331, 922 P2d 1227(1996):
"Dolan's test also is more rigorous for the government because it places the burden
on the government in the first instance to justify the condition as sufficiently
proportionate,rather than giving the property owner the initial burden to demonstrate
the lack of the necessary relationship between the impacts of the development and the
condition imposed."
The city's code in TCDC 18.910.020(A)recognizes these legal principles and states that the city may
require an applicant to dedicate land or construct a cut-through street through the applicant's property,
"only when the required exaction is directly related to and roughly proportional to the impact of the
development." (Emphasis supplied.) Applying these principles, the city's professional staff and
planning commission have acknowledged that the city cannot demonstrate rough proportionality to
support a demand for a cut-through street exaction through the property,and there is no serious claim
otherwise.
Some commentors argued that the City must ignore the Supreme Court's Dolan holding because it is
not "clear and objective" or should simply require a public street connection, but call it a "private
street"to avoid constitutional requirements that apply to exactions of private property for public use.
However, these commentators ask the city to do what it may not. If the city imposes a requirement
for the construction of a street that the public can use to cut through from Montage Lane to Hall
Boulevard,that is an exaction subject to the constitutional rules of Dolan v. City of Tigard.
Some commentators argued that the city code does not allow the city to require a cul-de-sac instead
of a cut through street through the site. They are mistaken. TCDC 18.910.030(L) says that a cul-
de-sac is allowed when "other standards in this code preclude street extension and circulation."
This is the situation presented here. TCDC 18.910.030(H)(2) says a street connection "is
considered precluded" when it is "not possible to redesign or reconfigure the street pattern to
provide the required extensions." It is not possible for the city to redesign or reconfigure the street
patten to provide a street cutting through the applicant's site without violating the city code and the
United States and Oregon Constitutions. As noted above, TCDC 18.910.020(A) makes clear that
the city may not require the applicant to dedicate land or construct a cut-through street through the
property, stating: "Applicants may be required to dedicate land and build required public
improvements only when the required exaction is directly related to and roughly proportional to
the impact of the development."
Through the conditions of approval, this standard is met.
B. Creation of rights-of-way for streets and related purposes. Rights-of-way shall be
created through the approval of a final plat; however, the council may approve the
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 61 OF 88
creation of a street by acceptance of a deed,provided that such street is deemed essential
by the council for the purpose of general traffic circulation.
1. The council may approve the creation of a street by deed of dedication without full
compliance with the regulations applicable to subdivisions or partitions if any one
or more of the following conditions are found by the council to be present:
a. Establishment of a street is initiated by the council and is found to be essential
for the purpose of general traffic circulation, and partitioning or subdivision of
land has an incidental effect rather than being the primary objective in
establishing the road or street for public use; or
b. The tract in which the road or street is to be dedicated is an isolated ownership
of 1 acre or less and such dedication is recommended by the commission to the
council based on a finding that the proposal is not an attempt to evade the
provisions of this title governing the control of subdivisions or partitions.
c. The street is located within the mixed use central business district (MU-CBD)
zone and has been identified on Figures 5-14A through 5-14I of the City of Tigard
2035 Transportation System Plan as a required connectivity improvement.
2. With each application for approval of a road or street right-of-way not in full
compliance with the regulations applicable to the standards, the proposed
dedication shall be made a condition of subdivision and partition approval.
a. The applicant shall submit such additional information and justification as
may be necessary to enable the commission in its review to determine whether
or not a recommendation for approval by the council shall be made.
b. The recommendation, if any, shall be based upon a finding that the proposal
is not in conflict with the purpose of this title.
c. The commission in submitting the proposal with a recommendation to the
council may attach conditions which are necessary to preserve the standards
of this title
3. All deeds of dedication shall be in a form prescribed by the city and shall name
"the public" as grantee.
As shown in the preliminary civil plans submitted, the applicants have proposed dedication of right-
of-way along the SW Hall Boulevard, SW Montage Lane, and SW 92nd Avenue through dedication
deed in accordance with the standards of this chapter. This standard is met.
C. Creation of access easements. The approval authority may approve an access easement
established by deed without full compliance with this title provided such an easement is
the only reasonable method by which a lot large enough to develop can be created.
1. Access easements shall be provided and maintained in accordance with the Uniform
Fire Code, Section 10.207.
2. Access shall be in accordance with 18.920.030.H and I.
The applicants have not proposed an access easement established by deed without full compliance
with this chapter as the only reasonable method by which a lot large enough to develop can be
created. This standard is not applicable.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 62 OF 88
D. Street location,width and grade. Except as noted below,the location,width and grade
of all streets shall conform to an approved street plan and shall be considered in their
relation to existing and planned streets,to topographic conditions,to public convenience
and safety,and in their appropriate relation to the proposed use of the land to be served
by such streets:
1. Street grades shall be approved by the city engineer in compliance with Subsection
18.910.030.N; and
2. Where the location of a street is not shown in an approved street plan, the
arrangement of streets in a development shall either:
a. Provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing streets in
the surrounding areas, or
b. Conform to a plan adopted by the commission,if it is impractical to conform to
existing street patterns because of particular topographical or other existing
conditions of the land. Such a plan shall be based on the type of land use to be
served, the volume of traffic, the capacity of adjoining streets and the need for
public convenience and safety.
As shown in the preliminary civil plans, street improvements, including additional street width,
are proposed along the applicants' frontage on SW Hall Boulevard, SW Montage Lane, and SW
92nd Avenue in preliminary accordance with the standards of this chapter and ODOT Standards.
There is an existing street stub for SW Montage Lane located at the western property boundary for
the proposed development. As stated in Section 18.910.030.D.2, where the location of a street is
not shown in an approved street plan, the arrangement of streets in a development must provide
for the continuation of existing streets in the surrounding area. As discussed above, the City
Council concurs with city staff and the applicants that a full, public street connection is not
proportional to the impacts of the development.
In such cases where a street extension and through circulation are precluded, Tigard Community
Development Code 18.910.030.L requires a cul-de-sac. Pursuant to City Code, all cul-de-sacs
must terminate with a turnaround. The applicants have provided the required cul-de-sac. See
findings under Tigard Community Development Code 18.910.030.L. This standard is met.
E. Minimum rights-of-way and street widths. Unless otherwise indicated on an approved
street plan, or as needed to continue an existing improved street or within the Tigard
Downtown Plan District, street right-of-way and roadway widths shall not be less than
the minimum width described below. Where a range is indicated, the width shall be
determined by the decision-making authority based upon anticipated average daily
traffic (ADT) on the new street segment. (The city council may adopt by resolution,
design standards for street construction and other public improvements. The design
standards will provide guidance for determining improvement requirements within the
specified ranges.) These are provided in Table 18.910.1.
The approval authority shall make its decision about desired right-of-way width and
pavement width of the various street types within the subdivision or development
after consideration of the following:
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 63 OF 88
1. The type of road as provided in the comprehensive plan transportation chapter -
functional street classification.
2. Anticipated traffic generation.
3. On-street parking needs.
4. Sidewalk and bikeway requirements.
5. Requirements for placement of utilities.
6. Street lighting.
7. Drainage and slope impacts.
8. Street tree location.
9. Planting and landscape areas.
10. Safety and comfort for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
11. Access needs for emergency vehicles.
Right-of-way and roadway widths for SW Hall Boulevard, SW 92nd Avenue,and SW Montage Lane
must meet the minimum widths for street characteristics in accordance with Table 18.910.1. See
findings in Section 18.910.030.A. This standard is met.
F. Future street plan and extension of streets.
1. A future street plan shall:
a. Be filed by the applicant in conjunction with an application for a subdivision or
partition.The plan shall show the pattern of existing and proposed future streets
from the boundaries of the proposed land division and shall include other parcels
within 530 feet surrounding and adjacent to the proposed land division. At the
applicant's request, the city may prepare a future streets proposal. Costs of the
city preparing a future streets proposal shall be reimbursed for the time
involved. A street proposal may be modified when subsequent subdivision
proposals are submitted.
b. Identify existing or proposed bus routes, pullouts or other transit facilities,
bicycle routes and pedestrian facilities on or within 530 feet of the site.
2. Where necessary to give access or permit a satisfactory future division of adjoining
land,streets shall be extended to the boundary lines of the tract to be developed,and
a. These extended streets or street stubs to adjoining properties are not considered
to be cul-de-sac since they are intended to continue as through streets at such
time as the adjoining property is developed.
b. A barricade shall be constructed at the end of the street by the property owners
which shall not be removed until authorized by the city engineer, the cost of
which shall be included in the street construction cost.
c. Temporary hammerhead turnouts or temporary cul-de-sac bulbs shall be
constructed for stub street in excess of 150 feet in length.
The applicants do not propose an application for a subdivision or partition. A future street plan is
not required with this application.
The City Council finds that SW Montage Lane is not required to be extended to the boundary line
of the tract to be developed to permit a satisfactory future division of adjoining land. This standard
is not applicable.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 64 OF 88
G. Street spacing and access management. Refer to 18.920.030.H.
Street spacing and access management is discussed under Chapter 18.920, Access, Egress, and
Circulation.
H. Street alignment and connections.
1. Full street connections with spacing of no more than 530 feet between connections is
required except where prevented by barriers such as topography, railroads,
freeways,pre-existing developments,lease provisions,easements,covenants or other
restrictions existing prior to May 1, 1995 which preclude street connections. A full
street connection may also be exempted due to a regulated water feature if
regulations would not permit construction.
2. All local, neighborhood routes and collector streets which abut a development site
shall be extended within the site to provide through circulation when not precluded
by environmental or topographical constraints, existing development patterns or
strict adherence to other standards in this code. A street connection or extension is
considered precluded when it is not possible to redesign or reconfigure the street
pattern to provide required extensions. Land is considered topographically
constrained if the slope is greater than 15 percent for a distance of 250 feet or more.
In the case of environmental or topographical constraints, the mere presence of a
constraint is not sufficient to show that a street connection is not possible. The
applicant must show why the constraint precludes some reasonable street
connection.
3. Proposed street or street extensions shall be located to provide direct access to
existing or planned transit stops, commercial services, and other neighborhood
facilities,such as schools, shopping areas and parks.
4. All developments should provide an internal network of connecting streets that
provide short, direct travel routes and minimize travel distances within the
development.
The proposed development site abuts the stubbed street SW Montage Lane, classified as a local
street, on its western boundary. Pursuant to TCDC 18.910.030.H.2, the applicants are required to
extend SW Montage Lane unless such extension is precluded. Full street connections with spacing
of no more than 530 feet between connections is required. The approximate distance between
connections on SW 92nd Avenue and SW 90th Avenue along Hall Boulevard is in excess of 750
feet, which exceeds the spacing standard of no more than 530 feet between connections.
The applicants identified barriers to the extension of SW Montage Lane based upon constitutional
law that would preclude the street extension for the public cul-de-sac terminus. TCDC
18.910.020(A).
As discussed above in the findings for TCDC 18.910.030.A, the City Council finds and
acknowledges that a full, public street extension would not be roughly proportional to the
development's impacts. Where a full street connection is precluded as it is here, the TCDC
18.910.030.L requires a cul-de-sac. The applicants have proposed to extend the street stub of SW
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 65 OF 88
Montage Lane and provide the required public cul-de-sac terminus. The applicants have proposed
internal private circulation within the private development site that provides short, direct travel
routes and minimizes travel distances within the proposed development. This standard is met.
I. Intersection angles. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect at an angle as near to a
right angle as practicable, except where topography requires a lesser angle, but in no
case shall the angle be less than 751 unless there is special intersection design, and:
1. Streets shall have at least 25 feet of tangent adjacent to the right-of-way intersection
unless topography requires a lesser distance;
2. Intersections which are not at right angles shall have a minimum corner radius of
20 feet along the right-of-way lines of the acute angle; and
3. Right-of-way lines at intersection with arterial streets shall have a corner radius of
not less than 20 feet.
The applicants have not proposed any new intersections of public streets. This criterion does not
apply.
J. Existing rights-of-way. Whenever existing rights-of-way adjacent to or within a tract
are of less than standard width,additional rights-of-way shall be provided at the time of
subdivision or development.
Right-of-way dedication for SW Hall Boulevard, SW 92nd Avenue, and SW Montage Lane must be
provided in accordance with the minimum standards of this chapter is required. See findings in
Section 18.910.030.A. This standard is met.
K. Partial street improvements.Partial street improvements resulting in a pavement width
of less than 20 feet,while generally not acceptable, may be approved where essential to
reasonable development when in conformity with the other requirements of these
regulations, and when it will be practical to require the improvement of the other half
when the adjoining property developed.
Partial street improvements are not proposed. Street improvements for SW Hall Boulevard, SW 92nd
Avenue, and SW Montage Lane (terminating in the approved cul-de-sac) in accordance with the
minimum standards of this chapter are required. This standard is not applicable.
L. Cul-de-sacs.A cul-de-sac shall be no more than 200 feet long, shall not provide access
to greater than 20 dwelling units, and shall only be used when environmental or
topographical constraints, existing development pattern, or strict adherence to other
standards in this code preclude street extension and through circulation:
1. All cul-de-sac shall terminate with a turnaround. Use of turnaround
configurations other than circular shall be approved by the City Engineer; and
2. The length of the cul-de-sac shall be measured from the centerline intersection
point of the 2 streets to the radius point of the bulb.
3. If a cul-de-sac is more than 300 feet long, a lighted direct pathway to an adjacent
street may be required to be provided and dedicated to the city.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 66 OF 88
The applicants are not required to extend SW Montage Lane as a public street because such full
extension would not be roughly proportional to the impact of the development. Because full street
extension and through circulation is precluded, the applicants are required to provide a cul-de-sac
pursuant to Tigard Community Development Code 18.910.030.L. As shown in the preliminary
site plans,the applicants have proposed to extend the street stub of SW Montage Lane and provide
the required public cul-de-sac terminus. This standard is met.
M. Street names.No street name shall be used which will duplicate or be confused with the
names of existing streets in Washington County,except for extensions of existing streets.
Street names and numbers shall conform to the established pattern in the surrounding
area and as approved by the City Engineer.
The proposed development does not propose new street names. This criterion does not apply.
N. Grades and Curves.
1. Grades shall not exceed 10 percent on arterials, 12 percent on collector streets,or 12
percent on any other street(except that local or residential access streets may have
segments with grades up to 15 percent for distances of no greater than 250 feet); and
2. Centerline radii of curves shall be as determined by the city engineer.
The existing street grade will not be changed with development. Grades are not proposed in excess
of 10 percent on arterials or 12 percent on any other street.
O. Curbs, curb cuts, ramps, and driveway approaches. Concrete curbs, curb cuts,
wheelchair,bicycle ramps and driveway approaches shall be constructed in compliance
with standards specified in this chapter and Section 15.04, Work in the Right-of-Way,
and:
1. Concrete curbs and driveway approaches are required; except:
2. Where no sidewalk is planned, an asphalt approach may be constructed with city
engineer approval; and
3. Asphalt and concrete driveway approaches to the property line shall be built to city
configuration standards.
Concrete curbs, curb cuts, wheelchair, bicycle ramps and driveway approaches shall be constructed
in compliance with standards specified in this chapter and Chapter 15.04,Work in the Right-of-Way.
This standard is applicable.
Q. Access to arterials and collectors. Where a development abuts or is traversed by an
existing or proposed arterial or collector street, the development design shall provide
adequate protection for residential properties and shall separate residential access
and through traffic, or if separation is not feasible, the design shall minimize the
traffic conflicts. The design shall include any of the following:
1. A parallel access street along the arterial or collector;
2. Lots of suitable depth abutting the arterial or collector to provide adequate
buffering with frontage along another street;
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 67 OF 88
3. Screen planting at the rear or side property line to be contained in a nonaccess
reservation along the arterial or collector; or
4. Other treatment suitable to meet the objectives of this subsection;
5. If a lot has access to 2 streets with different classifications,primary access should
be from the lower classification street.
The proposed development has frontage on SW Hall Boulevard, an arterial street under the
jurisdiction of ODOT.The preliminary site plan has provided driveway access to SW Hall Boulevard.
The driveway has been designed to minimize traffic conflicts. The applicants have proposed street
improvements,including additional street width,along the applicants'frontage on SW Hall Boulevard
in preliminary accordance with the standards of this chapter,ODOT Highway Design Manual(HDM)
standards, and the City of Tigard Public Improvement Design Standards. This standard is met.
S. Survey monuments. Upon completion of a street improvement and prior to acceptance
by the city, it shall be the responsibility of the developer's registered professional land
surveyor to provide certification to the city that all boundary and interior monuments
shall be reestablished and protected.
The applicants'narrative acknowledges their intent to comply with this requirement.It is feasible and
possible to meet this standard through the PFI permitting process.
V. Street signs. The city shall install all street signs, relative to traffic control and street
names, as specified by the City Engineer for any development. The cost of signs shall
be the responsibility of the developer.
The applicants'narrative has acknowledged intent to comply with this requirement. It is feasible and
possible to meet this standard through the PFI permitting process.
W. Mailboxes. Joint mailbox facilities shall be provided in all residential developments,
with each joint mailbox serving at least 2 dwelling units.
1. Joint mailbox structures shall be placed adjacent to roadway curbs;
2. Proposed locations of joint mailboxes shall be designated on the preliminary plat
or development plan,and shall be approved by the City Engineer/U.S.Post Office
prior to final plan approval; and
3. Plans for the joint mailbox structures to be used shall be submitted for approval
by the City Engineer/U.S. Post Office prior to final approval.
The applicants'narrative has acknowledged intent to comply with this requirement. It is feasible and
possible to meet this standard through the PFI permitting process.
Y. Street light standards. Street lights shall be installed in compliance with regulations
adopted by the city's direction.
Prior to commencing any site work,the applicant must provide a photometric analysis for the review
and approval. The applicant must submit plans showing the location of streetlights and the type and
color of pole and light fixture for review and approval. Photometric analysis will follow the
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 68 OF 88
recommended values and requirements described in ANSVIESNA. All public streetlights must be
PGE Option B. Through a condition of approval,this standard is met.
Z. Street name signs. Street name signs shall be installed at all street intersections. Stop
signs and other signs may be required.
The applicants'narrative has acknowledged intent to comply with this requirement. It is feasible and
possible to meet this standard through the PFI permitting process.
AA. Street cross-sections. The final lift of asphalt concrete pavement shall be placed on
all new constructed public roadways prior to final city acceptance of the roadway and
within 1 year of the conditional acceptance of the roadway unless otherwise approved
by the City Engineer. The final lift shall also be placed no later than when 90 percent
of the structures in the new development are completed or 3 years from the
commencement of initial construction of the development,whichever is less.
1. Sub-base and leveling course shall be of select crushed rock;
2. Surface material shall be of Class C or B asphaltic concrete;
3. The final lift shall be placed on all new construction roadways prior to city final
acceptance of the roadway; however,not before 90 percent of the structures in the
new development are completed unless 3 years have elapsed since initiation of
construction in the development;
4. The final lift shall be Class C asphaltic concrete as defined by A.P.W.A. standard
specifications; and
5. No lift shall be less than 1.5 inches in thickness.
The development will require frontage improvements along SW Hall Boulevard, SW 92nd Avenue,
and SW Montage Lane; therefore, this section is applicable. Street improvements along SW Hall
Boulevard must be completed by the applicants and accepted by ODOT, which is the agency with
jurisdiction of SW Hall Boulevard along the proposed development frontage. Street improvements
along SW 92nd Avenue and SW Montage Lane must be completed by the applicants and accepted by
the City. It is feasible and possible to meet this standard through the PFI permitting process.
BB. Traffic calming. When, in the opinion of the City Engineer, the proposed
development will create a negative traffic condition on existing neighborhood streets,
such as excessive speeding, the developer may be required to provide traffic calming
measures. These measures may be required within the development or offsite as
deemed appropriate. As an alternative, the developer may be required to deposit
funds with the city to help pay for traffic calming measures that become necessary
once the development is occupied and the City Engineer determines that the
additional traffic from the development has triggered the need for traffic calming
measures. The City Engineer will determine the amount of funds required and will
collect said funds from the developer prior to the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy, or in the case of subdivision, prior to the approval of the final plat. The
funds will be held by the city for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance of
certificate of occupancy,or in the case of a subdivision,the date of final plat approval.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 69 OF 88
Any funds not used by the city within the 5-year time period will be refunded to the
developer.
A Transportation Impact Study (prepared by Kittleson & Associates, dated January 4, 2021) was
submitted by the applicant(Exhibit K).Based on the traffic analysis study submitted by the applicants'
traffic engineer, traffic calming is not proposed or deemed necessary for the proposed development.
The City Council agrees with this fmding and finds the applicants evidence in this regard credible and
reliable. This standard is not applicable.
CC. Traffic study.
1. A traffic study shall be required for all new or expanded uses or developments
under any of the following circumstances:
a. When they generate a 10 percent or greater increase in existing traffic to high
collision intersections identified by Washington County.
b. Trip generations from development onto the city street at the point of access
and the existing ADT fall within the following ranges:
Existing ADT ADT to be added by development
0-3000 v d 2,000 v d
3,001-6,000 vpd 1,000 vpd
>6,000 vpd 500 vpd or more
A final Transportation Impact Study(prepared by Kittleson&Associates,dated January 4,202 1)was
submitted by the applicant (Exhibit K). The TIA concludes that the proposed assisted living and
memory care facility is estimated to generate 512 average daily trips, 37 weekday AM peak hour
trips, and 51 weekday PM peak hour trips. In addition to the required half-street improvements on
SW Hall Boulevard,the applicants'final traffic report recommendations included the widening of SW
Hall Boulevard to provide a center left turn lane that extends along the entire frontage, plus for a
distance of approximately 150 feet west and 200 feet east. This standard is met.
Some public testimony questioned use of trip data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers'
(ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition, rather than locally collected data. The applicants
responded to these concerns in the March 28,2022,2nd Open Record Period Testimony memorandum
prepared by Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Staff also agreed with that analysis that using ITE trip
generation data was appropriate. The Kittelson response explains that trip data for the January 4,
2021 Transportation Impact Analysis(TIA)was sourced from the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 10th
Edition,in compliance with City Code and standard industry practice. The City Council agrees. Per
the City of Tigard TMC 18.660.040.B.3.a.i: "The City Engineer will determine whether the proposed
development is estimated to generate any new vehicle, pedestrian, or bicycle trips using the best
available data and analysis, including but not limited to the ITE Trip Generation Manual or a
Transportation Impact Study prepared by a transportation engineer licensed in the State of Oregon."
This is further evidence that the use of ITE data is appropriate for this project and the City Council so
finds. If a proposed land use is not represented in the Manual, collection of local data may be
necessary as stated in the Manual's guidance. However, in the case of the proposed development
application, the Manual provides data for land use code 254 (Assisted Living) that is directly
applicable. The Assisted Living trip data in the Manual includes at least one site in the Portland,
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 70 OF 88
Oregon, area. In addition to peak hour trip generation data, the Manual also provides a daily trip
generation rate that accounts for off-peak shift changes. Both peak hour and daily trip estimates were
documented in the Kittelson reports. As such, the City Council finds that the applicants adequately
responded to these public concerns regarding the use of ITE trip data and the City Council finds their
response credible and persuasive.
18.910.040 Blocks
A. Block design.The length,width and shape of blocks shall be designed with due regard
to providing adequate building sites for the use contemplated, consideration of needs
for convenient access, circulation, control and safety of street traffic and recognition
of limitations and opportunities of topography.
B. Sizes.
1. The perimeter of blocks formed by streets shall not exceed 2,000 feet measured
along the centerline of the streets except:
a. Where street location is precluded by natural topography, wetlands,
significant habitat areas or bodies of water, or pre-existing development; or
b. For blocks adjacent to arterial streets, limited access highways, collectors or
railroads.
c. For nonresidential blocks in which internal public circulation provides
equivalent access.
2. Bicycle and pedestrian connections on public easements or rights-of-way shall be
provided when full street connection is exempted by Paragraph 18.910.040.B.1.
Spacing between connections shall be no more than 330 feet, except where
precluded by environmental or topographical constraints, existing development
patterns, or strict adherence to other standards in the code.
The existing block perimeter bounded by SW Hall Boulevard, SW 92"d Avenue, SW Borders
Street and SW 95d' Avenue is approximately 2,700 feet, which exceeds the maximum perimeter
length of 2,000 feet. The block length standard for maximum of 2,000 feet is not applicable for
blocks adjacent to an arterial street, which is the classification of SW Hall Boulevard. However,
when an applicant is exempted from the 2,000-foot block length because of its adjacency to an
arterial street, the applicant must provide a bicycle and pedestrian connection in accordance with
the standards of this chapter.
While the full street connection is exempted by rough proportionality as described in the findings
for Section 18.910.030.A,the applicants'preliminary site plan has provided the required eight-foot
multi-use path connection within a public access easement in accordance with the standards of this
chapter. This standard is met. The City Council notes that several commentators requested that
we require the applicants to provide a cross walk at Hall Boulevard. However, both staff and the
applicants testified that ODOT is unlikely to allow a cross walk and the decision belongs to ODOT
because Hall Boulevard is an ODOT facility. No applicable city standard in the city's
acknowledged land use rules allows the City Council to require the applicants to install a
crosswalk on this ODOT transportation facility and the City Council declines to do so.
18.910.050 Easements
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 71 OF 88
A. Easements.Easements for sewers,drainage,water mains,electric lines or other public
utilities shall be either dedicated or provided for in the deed restrictions, and where
a development is traversed by a watercourse or drainageway,there shall be provided
a stormwater easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the
lines of the watercourse.
B. Utility easements. A property owner proposing a development shall make
arrangements with the city, the applicable district, and each utility franchise for the
provision and dedication of utility easements necessary to provide full services to the
development. The city's standard width for public main line utility easements shall
be 15 feet unless otherwise specified by the utility company, applicable district, or
City Engineer.
Drawings indicating preliminary easement widths and locations have been provided to the City.
Coordination will be performed with the City of Tigard, ODOT and CWS during the final
construction drawing phase to make sure all required easements are provided as the impacted
jurisdictions require.
The proposed development is not traversed by a watercourse or drainage way. The development will
require an eight-foot public utility easement along all road frontages,outside of the right-of-way.The
required eight-foot wide PUE will be required as requested,unless private utilities are placed directly
in the public ROW under the sidewalk. This will be achieved along Hall Blvd. Both ODOT and the
City or Tigard staff have indicated support for this utility placement. The property owner has made
arrangements with both the City and ODOT as necessary for required utility easements.
Prior to final building inspection,the applicants must record all utility easements including for storm
drainage, sanitary sewer, and franchise utilities and provide recorded copies to the City.
The applicants submitted preliminary plans for storm drainage and a preliminary drainage report.
The applicant has provided the minimum 15-foot-wide public utility easement as required by CWS
standards for conveyance of public stormwater through the site from the existing stormwater
facility located immediately west of the proposed development.
Prior to commencing any site work,the applicant must submit all right-of-way dedication documents,
utility easements,public access easements and maintenance agreements for City review and approval.
Prior to final building inspection, the applicant must record all right-of-way dedication documents,
utility easements,public access easements and maintenance agreements and provide recorded copies
to the City.
Through the conditions of approval, this standard is met.
18.910.070 Sidewalks
A. Sidewalks.All public and private streets adjacent to industrially zoned properties shall
have sidewalks meeting city standards along at least 1 side of the street.All other public
and private streets shall have sidewalks meeting city standards along both sides of the
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 72 OF 88
street.A development may be approved if an adjoining street has sidewalks on the side
adjoining the development, even if no sidewalk exists on the other side of the street.
Sidewalk improvements are required along the development frontage on SW Hall Boulevard, SW
92nd Avenue, and SW Montage Lane. See findings in Section 18.910.030.A.
As shown in the preliminary civil plans, sidewalks are proposed along the applicants' frontage on
SW Hall Boulevard, SW Montage Lane, and SW 92nd Avenue in preliminary accordance with the
standards of this in accordance with the standards of this chapter, ODOT Highway Design Manual
(HDM) standards, and the City of Tigard Public Improvement Design Standards. Through
conditions of approval, this standard is met.
B. Requirement of developers.
1. As part of any development proposal or change in use resulting in an additional
1,000 vehicle trips or more per day, an applicant shall be required to identify
direct, safe (1.25 x the straight line distance) pedestrian routes within 0.50 miles
of their site to all transit facilities and neighborhood activity centers (schools,
parks,libraries,etc.).In addition,the developer may be required to participate in
the removal of any gaps in the pedestrian system off-site if justified by the
development.
2. If there is an existing sidewalk on the same side of the street as the development
within 300 feet of a development site in either direction, the sidewalk shall be
extended from the site to meet the existing sidewalk, subject to rough
proportionality (even if the sidewalk does not serve a neighborhood activity
center).
The proposed development does not generate an additional 1,000 vehicle trips or more per day.
As shown in the preliminary civil plans,the applicants'proposed sidewalk will connect to the existing
sidewalk located to the west along SW Hall Boulevard. This standard is met.
C. Planter strip requirements. A planter strip separation of at least 5 feet between the
curb and the sidewalk shall be required in the design of streets, except where the
following conditions exist: there is inadequate right-of-way; the curbside sidewalks
already exist on predominant portions of the street; it would conflict with the utilities;
there are significant natural features (large trees, water features, significant habitat
areas,etc.)that would be destroyed if the sidewalk were located as required; or where
there are existing structures in close proximity to the street (15 feet or less) or where
the standards in Table 18.910.1 specify otherwise. Additional consideration for
exempting the planter strip requirement may be given on a case-by-case basis if a
property abuts more than one street frontage.
A planter strip separation of a least five feet between the curb and sidewalk is required in the design
of the frontage improvements along SW Hall Boulevard, SW 92nd Avenue, and SW Montage Lane.
See findings in Section 18.910.030.A.
ZCA2021-00001 CEDARBROOK PAGE 73 OF 88
D. Maintenance. Maintenance of sidewalks, curbs, and planter strips is the continuing
obligation of the adjacent property owner.
The property owner will take full responsibility for the maintenance of sidewalks, curbs, and planter
strips. This standard is applicable.
E. Application for permit and inspection. Separate street opening permits are required
for sidewalk segments that are not part of a current subdivision approval:
1. An occupancy permit shall not be issued for a development until the provisions of
this section are satisfied.
2. The City Engineer may issue a permit and certificate allowing temporary
noncompliance with the provisions of this section to the owner, builder or
contractor when, in his or her opinion, the construction of the sidewalk is
impractical for one or more of the following reasons:
a. Sidewalk grades have not and cannot be established for the property in
question within a reasonable length of time;
b. Forthcoming installation of public utilities or street paving would be likely to
cause severe damage to the new sidewalk;
c. Street right-of-way is insufficient to accommodate a sidewalk on 1 or both
sides of the street; or
d. Topography or elevation of the sidewalk base area makes construction of a
sidewalk impractical or economically infeasible.
3. The City Engineer shall inspect the construction of sidewalks for compliance with
the provision set forth in the standard specifications manual.
Prior to commencing any site work,the applicant must submit a Public Facility Improvement(PFI)
Permit to cover all infrastructure work including stormwater Water Quality and Quantity Facilities
and any other work in the public right-of-way. Four(4) sets of detailed public improvement plans
must be submitted for review to the Engineering Department. An Engineering cost estimate of
improvements associated with public infrastructures including but not limited to street, street
grading, utilities, stormwater quality and water quantity facilities, sanitary sewer, streetlights, and
franchise utilities are required at the time of PFI Permit submittal. When the water system is under
the City of Tigard jurisdiction, an Engineering cost estimate of water improvement must be listed
as a separate line item from the total cost estimate. NOTE: these plans are in addition to any
drawings required by the Building Division and should only include sheets relevant to public
improvements. Public Facility Improvement Permit plans must conform to City of Tigard Public
