Correspondence Cc: Dayna Tracy<Dayna theremodel�rou rnm> I Subject:9570 SW Tigard Street Hi. I'm following up on a permit application for this property. When I turned it in last week,there was some question about whether or not some sections of code applied to the project. I understood that it was going to be discussed by the planning group yesterday. What would be the best way for me to get an update? Thanks much. --''''.1) Dayna Tracy T.H.E.Remodel Group Phone:503_869.1290 Email:Dayna©TheRemodelGroup.com ffhfIMl CHIMP 20400 SW Avery Court Tualatin,OR 97062 www.TheRemodelGroim.com DISCLAIMER: E-mails sent or received by City of Tigard employees are subject to public record laws.

I talked with Tom yesterday and we will definitely need to add the ADA ramp. We plan to deck over the existing concrete stoop and construct a wooden ramp that connects it with the parking area. As I understand the information you sent,this would not cause any issues with setbacks, maximum lot coverage, or minimum landscape area. We're not making any changes to surface parking. The new ramp would replace the existing asphalt path. Do I understand correctly that we would be applying for a MMD based on 18.330.040 E Pedestrian Access? And that we would need to demonstrate compliance with items 1—4 in that section as applicable? I searched your website for subsection 18.410.040 B but the only information I found there related to parking structures. Is there somewhere else I should be looking? I also searched the website for the MMD application but was not able to find it either. Could you please point me to that? Thanks for your help!

Major Modification,Zoning Map Amendment, Site Development,Subdivision,etc.). Street-facing facade glazing is not a standard that would be reviewed by Planning for this remodel. Because this property is zoned I-P,the codes that Planning will be reviewing will be from TCDC 18.330 Industrial Zone Development Standards (https://library.gcode.us/lib/Tgard or/pub/municipal code/item/title 18-18 300-chapter 18 330?view=all). If any part of your proposed construction includes items included in this chapter,then the MMD would be required,which would include the new ADA ramp. Looking at the plan you've provided, I have not identified other items that require the submittal of an MMD. Planning codes and standards generally are related to site and exterior elements of a development,therefore interior alterations are unlikely to require additional review in addition to the BUP. 2 Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Please see the correspondence below. It appears that the last communication was a request by Jacob for a site plan reflecting the proposed changes. I have attached that. You will note that there are no changes to the footprint. At this point,the only exterior alterations planned include adding some windows and re-siding the front. Street-facing facade glazing%would increase, so no issues there, correct? Do I understand correctly that, if we are required to add ADA access and if we choose to accomplish that by building a ramp to the existing front door,that would trigger a minor modification permit? If, instead,we were to accomplish that by adding a second front entrance at the east end,which is slab on grade (almost certainly a garage conversion),would a minor modification be required? And is the minor modification a separate application process done before we apply for a building permit? Or is it handled through the building permit process? I was not clear on what was meant by"pre- application for a minor modification." Apologies for needing to be brought up to speed but would you please help me understand what other considerations need to be addressed beyond the standard building permit process required for the interior alterations and MEP upgrades? The building was in commercial use prior tour purch not requestin I will send a separate message to Tom Hochstatter in order to get up to speed on what will be needed for the building permit but I am copying him here so all the people are in all the loops as we get this sorted. @ Again,thanks so much for your help and patience. Please feel free to call if it would be easier to have a conversation.

It would be helpful for us to determine the correct application and review process if we have a preliminary site plan of the changes sought to the site. Would you be able to provide that to us?There is potential that you would require a minor modification application which would be a separate review process and would need approval prior to submittal of a building permit application. Below is the code section for minor modifications: 18.765.060 Minor Modifications Alert: This item has been affected by: Ordinance 22-10. See the CodeAlert page for details on recent amendments and newly-added provisions. A. Definition. A minor modification has the following characteristics: 1. It has minimal impacts on surrounding properties, sensitive lands, or public facilities; and 2. It does not cause the development to go out of conformance with any applicable standard or further out of conformance if already nonconforming, except where an adjustment has been approved. B. Examples. Examples of minor modifications include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Interior building modification or change of use that requires the application of a higher parking quantity requirement. 2. Exterior building facade modification that requires the application of a design standard. 3. Change of use to a restricted use. 4. Change to the site that results in a change in the number or configuration of parking spaces. 5. Minor decrease in open space or landscaping. C. Approval process. A minor modification application is processed through a Type I procedure as provided in Section 18.710.050. D. Approval criteria. The approval authority will approve or approve with conditions a minor modification application when all of the following criteria are met: 1. The proposed modification qualifies as a minor modification as defined in Subsection 18.765.060.A; 4 rit 2. If the proposal involves the modification of a condition of approval, at least one of the following criteria is met: a. The condition cannot be implemented for reasons outside the control of the applicant or property owner; b. The condition is no longer needed or warranted because circumstances have changed; or c. A new or modified condition better accomplishes the purpose of the original condition. (Ord. 19-09 §1; Ord. 18-28 For example, if you were to widen the path for ADA travel,that would be a decrease in open space and would trigger a minor modification.Alterations to the street-facing facade like increasing or decreasing glazing on or proposing an addition there would trigger a minor mod as well. Overall though, a pre-application is not required for a minor modification, but could change depending on what you end up proposing. Let me know if you have other questions.Thanks! <image002.jpg> Jacob Storm (he/him) I Planner on Duty City of Tigard I Community Development Direct: 503.718.2421 I Email: tigardplanneronduty@tigard-or.gov 13125 SW Hall Boulevard, Tigard OR 97223 I tigard-or.gov Counter Hours: Monday—Thursday 8:00AM — 5:00PM From: Planner on Duty<tigardplanneronduty@tigard-or.gov> Sent:Thursday,January 26, 2023 4:30 PM To: brian@studiocoop.com; Planner on Duty<tigardplanneronduty@tigard-or.gov> Cc:Tom Hochstatter<TomH@tigard-or.gov> Subject: RE:9570 SW Tigard St. Change of Occupancy Hi Brian, I am one of the Assistant Planner here at the City and I wanted to first discuss some of the land-use implications associated with this site. The first thing you should know is that as a residential use within the I-P zone, that is listed as a restricted use. However, since this use has been established prior to the zone changing to I-P, it is allowed as a "nonconforming use". It will continue to be allowed as a nonconforming residential use per code section 18.50.040.B provided: 1. If a lawfully established use of land exists that would not be allowed by this title, the use may be continued provided: a. The nonconforming use is not enlarged, increased, or extended to occupy a greater area of land or space, except that a nonconforming use may be enlarged, increased, or extended into any existing parts of the building it occupies, provided that the building was specifically designed and constructed to lawfully accommodate that use at the time of original construction; b. The nonconforming use is not moved in whole or in part to any portion of the lot; c. The nonconforming use of land is not discontinued for any reason for a period of more than six months; d. If the use is discontinued or abandoned for any reason for a period of six months, any subsequent use of land must conform to the regulations specified by this title;and 5 I e. For purposes of calculating the six-month period, a use is discontinued or abandoned upon the occurrence of the first ' of any of the following events: i. On the date when the use of land is vacated, ii. On the date the use ceases to be actively involved in the sale of merchandise or the provision of services, iii. On the date of termination of any lease or contract under which the nonconforming use has occupied the land, or iv. On the date a request for final reading of water and power meters is made to the applicable utility provider. f. Additional structures, buildings, or signs are prohibited on a lot with a nonconforming use. The above section would be particularly important during the period of time prior to the interior improvements are made and the structure is officially altered to being an office use. Additionally,the new office use type would be allowed in the I-P zone. However, I have not checked to see myself, but the structure itself may be out of conformance with the development standards of the I-P zone,which can be found in code section 18.330.040. If the development is nonconforming to these development standards,the structure may remain provided it is not enlarged or altered in a way that increases its nonconformity. Something like altering siding would not be an issue with planning, and interior alterations/change of occupancy would be questions for our building department. Feel free to reach out to Tom Hochstatter,our Commercial Plans Examiner, at(503)718-2432 or TomH(a@tigard-or.gov. He has also been CC'd on this email. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The property was recently purchased.The new owner's long-term plan is to develop the property with new commercial buildings, but In the meantime, he would like to use the existing house as an office for his construction company T.H.E. Remodel Group. 6 F I have attached the Property Permit Record, which seems to suggest the existing building is a Single-Family Dwelling. First, could you confirm the current building occupancy for us?Second, if our assessment is correct and the house is SFD, what would be involved to change occupancy to a commercial office building? The current plan for the property is to make primarily interior upgrades to provide main floor office space for 4-6 people with a conference room. No plans have been drawn up yet. Some exterior changes are being considered, like changing the siding on the front of the building.The owner is estimating these upgrades to be in the range of$50,000. We will be improving the path of travel for ADA access but are wondered what other triggers might come into play.To change the occupancy of the existing structure, will frontage improvements be required?And what is the trigger for a seismic upgrades or analysis?Are there any other services/departments that would require upgrades? If you think a preapplication meeting will be beneficial, please let us know. Feel free to give me a call if that is easiest for you. 503.962.9194 Thank you for your help.
