6. TIGARD LAUNCH POD (UNIVERSAL PLAZA FOOD CARTS)
Lloyd gave a brief presentation and discussed using the Opportunity Café to launch a startup
business which is proving successful. He secured funding to purchase two food carts for use by
entrepreneurs in partnership with MESO, Livelihood NW, and SBDC to provide advice for
prospective tenants. Prospective tenants will submit a readiness assessment along with other
information to show they are ready to launch. They pay gradually increasing rent and after sixteen to
twenty-four months they move on, and a new entrepreneur is launched. An open house of the food
carts is taking place October 26th at the Universal Plaza at 8:30 am and Commissioners were invited.
Suggestions included asking them to create a “Tigard” specific food, locate the carts in vacant lots,
include other than food such as a retail truck, and working with developers receiving development
assistance to offer space to entrepreneurs ready to move to a new location.
7. HOUSELESSNESS WORK GROUP
The work group has not met since the last meeting but will within the next couple weeks. Tom will
reach out to Sara Cooper to find out who to contact to voice TCAC support for the grant from the
Oregon Legislature to help unhoused residents. Sean noted a houselessness service provider
(including shelter) may locate in the Triangle, but it is in the initial stages.

What We Heard
DOWNTOWN TIGARD REIMAGINED
Community Focus Group Feedback
3 Focus Groups held in 3 different languages in September
32 participants in total
DOWNTOWN TIGARD REIMAGINED
Community Focus Group Feedback
●People have a hard time defining where Downtown Tigard is (“is it Main St.?”).
●Frequent destinations are Main St.,the Post Office,Library,Fanno Creek
Park/Trail,and the Transit Center.
●Desire for Downtown to be easier find (attractive landmark/artwork)and to offer
more destinations.

architecture,distinct plantings,etc.).

DOWNTOWN TIGARD REIMAGINED
Developer Interviews:Affordable +Market Rate
●Downtown Tigard has potential but there isn’t much “there "there yet.
●Downtown Tigards greatest assets:connectivity to other employment centers in
the area,great school district,great reputation,natural assets (Fanno Creek
Park +trail).
●Differing opinions on where the City should focus development energy :more
Main St.east of the tracks,along Burnham parallel to the Creek,intensifying Main
St.where it is today.
●Multiple participants suggested the code needs to be updated to accommodate
more intense development;parking requirements need to be lowered and
DU/acre allowed increased .
●Multiple recommendations to consider a form based code .
●Multiple recommendations for a City Parking Management Strategy to alleviate
the parking burden for individual projects.
Initial Project Team Observations
Downtown has a variety of subareas,most of which don’t feel
like a Downtown…
The rail line is a strong edge condition
Pedestrian rail crossings are infrequent (rail is a strong barrier)
Opportunity for an additional ped/bike Ash Ave crossing?
Hall/Scoffins/Hunziker is challenging for all modes
Poor lighting and no sidewalks in many areas
Underutilized Land
Questionable Land Use Compatibility
Topographical Challenges
Opportunity to improve bike connectivity in Downtown
Opportunities to enhance access to and experience of Fanno Creek
Opportunity to create a series of gateways/transition moments to signal
approach to Downtown
Discussion Questions

2.What areas (land use &transportation)do you see the largest opportunity
for improvements in Downtown?
