Information
EXPLANATION OF ISSUE
Participants across all ages, genders, races, ethnicities, nationalities, and faiths are invited to
participate in the Yogathon to kickstart the New Year with health awareness and practice. Surya
Namaskar is a yogic practice done in reverence to the sun. Research shows several physiological and
psychological benefits from Surya Namaskar when practiced regularly. They are performed as a series
of 10 physical postures, flowing in a graceful, continuous sequence. The Surya Namaskar Yajna seeks
to promote the practice and its benefits among all Americans aspiring for a fit body and balanced
mind.
Since its inception in 2007, participants from 43 states have actively participated in the Yogathon
through Yoga centers, community organizations, schools, and colleges, and also as individuals.
Regardless of their faith and belief, these participants have performed over four million Surya
Namaskars over the past several years. This is a testament to the success of the Yogathon in achieving
diversity and inclusion in communities nationwide while promoting public health and well-being
equitably.

How old is Yoga ?
According to Yogic lore, it is more than 16,000 years old.
"Patanjali Yoga Sutras", the oldest text on Yoga is dated between 200 BCE to 200
ACE. It is believed that Patanjali only composed them in written form and that Yoga
predates him.
Archeological evidence found in Mohenjo Daro (2600 BCE to 1900 BCE), a city in
ancient Indus Valley Civilization shows advanced Yogic postures.
A seal found in Mohenjo Daro shows a person in advanced yogic posture of Mulabandhasana.

Agenda Title: Community Land Trust Down Payment Assistance Program - CDBG Subrecipient
Agreement
Authored By: Rosie McGown
Presented By: Schuyler Warren
Item Type:
Public Hearing
Legal Ad Required?:
Publication Date:
Information
EXPLANATION OF ISSUE
Assistant Community Development Director Warren is seeking City Council approval for the
Community Land Trust Down Payment Assistance Program - CDBG Subrecipient Agreement.
ACTION REQUESTED
Teammates recommend the Council award the amount of$2,667,500 over three years to Proud
Ground for the Community Land Trust Down Payment Assistance Program and direct the City
Manager to take the steps necessary to execute an agreement to this effect.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Proud Ground is the Pacific Northwest's largest community land trust, and the only one operating in
the Portland Metro area. The organization serves Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, and Lincoln
counties in Oregon, and Clark County (Vancouver) in Washington.
A community land trust (CLT) creates permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for
families and individuals with low and moderate incomes. The CLT provides a subsidy in the form of
down payment assistance for the purchase of a home. This assistance reduces the amount of
mortgage required for a home purchase, making the monthly payment affordable for the individual
purchasing the home.
The CLT maintains permanent affordability by retaining partial ownership of the underlying property—
the client owns the home while the CLT owns the land. Any resale must be to a qualifying low-to
moderate-income family. The homeowner is able to build equity and some increase in value while
affordability is maintained and protected.
Participation in the Proud Ground CLT program through this down payment subsidy is a key strategy
outlined in the city's adopted Comprehensive Plan Goal 10, the adopted Affordable Housing Plan, and
is in alignment with the equity initiatives of the city's adopted Strategic Plan. This program is primarily
funded by the City of Tigard Construction Excise Tax, and supplemented with federal Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds received though the city's CDBG agreement as a sub-recipient
of Washington County. In November 2021, the Local Contract Review Board (LCRB) awarded Proud
Ground a one-year, $520,000 contract for down payment assistance. That program resulted in the
purchase of four homes that are now protected as permanently affordable units through the land
trust. Based on the success of the program, the city expanded its relationship with Proud Ground and
entered into a five-year, $3,000,000 agreement. In the first two years of this agreement, Proud
Ground provided down payment assistance to three families and added three Tigard homes to their
portfolio of permanently protected, affordable homeownership units.
Challenges in the current housing market (low stock and higher interest rates) have slowed the
program. However, Proud Ground has identified additional funding sources that augment
this subsidy for home purchasers, helping to alleviate some of this pressure.
The previous contracts were awarded to Proud Ground by the LCRB under Tigard Public Contracting
Rules (PRC) 10.070 Single Seller of a Product. Since that time, the city has reexamined the nature of
the relationship with Proud Ground due to the associated federal funding, and determined the
relationship with Proud Ground constitutes a sub-recipient relationship (grantee), instead of a
contractor relationship. This determination was made utilizing the AGA (formerly Association of
Government Accountants) "Subrecipient vs Contractor Checklist". This checklist is intended to help
federal fund recipients make a judgment whether each agreement made for the disbursement of
federal program funds casts the entity receiving the funds in the role of a sub-recipient or a
contractor. Based on 2 CFR Chapter I, Chapter II, Part 200 et al. Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), issued
by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This distinction is important to ensure federal
compliance and requires the city to replace our existing Personal Services Contract with a
Sub-recipient Agreement. This new agreement addresses a Washington County finding in our
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) agreement as a sub-recipient for the federal funds.
While the form of the agreement has changed, the fundamental relationship and project goals remain
unchanged since Council's previous approvals.
Dates of Previous Consideration:
Previous LCRB approval:
November 16, 2021—Approval of a one-year, $520,000 contract. The contract has been completed.
January 10, 2023—Approval of a five-year, $3,000,000 contract. The contract is being replaced with a
sub-recipient agreement equal to the remaining time and amount.
ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION
The Council may choose not to award this sub-recipient agreement and end the Community Land Trust
Down Payment Assistance Program.
Teammates in Community Development and Finance recommend the Council approve the program
and CDBG sub-recipient agreement.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Fiscal Impact
Cost: $2,667,500
Budgeted (yes or no): Yes
Where budgeted?: 212—Construction Excise Tax Fund
Additional Fiscal Notes:
Each fall, an agreement with Washington County documents the CDBG award to the City of Tigard. The
annual CDBG award has historically been around $120,000 to $140,000, but is determined by
Washington County's upon receipt of their annual federal award. These federal funds are utilized first
with any subsequent home purchases funded by the Construction Excise Tax.

Agenda Title: Consider Authorization of City Manager to Sign Grant Agreement
Authored By: Sean Farrelly

Item Type: Motion Requested

Information
EXPLANATION OF ISSUE
In 2024, the city successfully advocated for state funding to assist with costs for the required
infrastructure for Community Partners for Affordable Housing's (CPAH) Woodland Hearth project. The
grant agreement with the state sets the conditions for the City to pass through the $1.566M in funds
to CPAH.
ACTION REQUESTED
Council is requested to make a motion to authorize the City Manager to sign the grant agreement with
the Oregon's Business Development Department and take steps necessary to effectuate the grant
agreement.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Woodland Hearth site is a currently vacant 1.46-acre property. Community Partners for Affordable
Housing (CPAH), a non-profit developer, intends to begin construction of 63 affordable units in early
2025. The project will consist of units serving a range of households at 60% of AMI or below, including
twenty-six deeply affordable units for households earning 30%Area Median Income (AMI) or below.
Forty units (63.5%) are family-sized (2-plus bedrooms), including nineteen 3-bedroom units and four
4-bedroom units. There will be twenty-two units of permanent supportive housing. These units will
remain affordable for a minimum of 60 years. Total project costs are estimated at $47.4 million.
The 2024 Oregon Legislature enacted SB 1530, appropriating funds to the Oregon Business
Development Department (Business Oregon) for the purpose of stormwater and sewer infrastructure
development costs related to housing development throughout Oregon. One of the appropriations
was to the City of Tigard for CPAH's Woodland Hearth project. The appropriation in SB 1530 for
$1,566,000 will be used for the sewer and stormwater infrastructure necessary for the project. Due to
its location away from nearby sewer and water facilities, the project has higher than average costs
(requiring easements, and additional construction expenses).
Pursuant to SB 1530, the funds are appropriated to Business Oregon, to be paid to the City for the
Project's infrastructure. The grant agreement sets forth that the City will reimburse CPAH for eligible
expenses incurred by CPAH's project. The City will administer the Oregon Business grant to verify that
the funds are used for construction, oversight and administration of the Project's infrastructure. The
City and CPAH have signed an agreement outlining their responsibilities.
The Tigard Town Center Development Agency previously approved an assistance agreement for the
project:
On April 27, 2021, the TCDA Board approved the TCAC recommended $500,000 in development
assistance for the project. This award was in the form of a forgivable loan and was used to help CPAH
acquire the property.

fee(s) required under ORS 279C.825 and BOLI's rules, including OAR 839-025-0200 to

(a) If any third party makes any claim or brings any action, suit or proceeding alleging a tort as
now or hereafter defined in ORS 30.260 ("Third-Party Tort Claim") against a party to this
Contract(the "Notified Party") with respect to which the other party may have liability, the
Notified Party must promptly notify the other party in writing and deliver a copy of the
claim, process, and all legal pleadings related to the Third-Party Tort Claim. Either party is
entitled to participate in the defense of a Third-Party Tort Claim, and to defend a Third-Party
Tort Claim with counsel of its own choosing. The foregoing provisions are conditions
precedent for either party's liability to the other in regards to the Third-Party Tort Claim.
If the parties are jointly liable (or would be if joined in the Third-Party Tort Claim), the
parties shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including attorneys' fees),judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect their respective relative fault. The relative fault of
the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the
circumstances resulting in such expenses,judgments, fines or settlement amounts. Each
party's contribution amount in any instance is capped to the same extent it would have been
capped under Oregon law if that party had sole liability in the proceeding. This Section shall
survive termination of this Contract.
(b) Recipient shall take all reasonable steps to require its contractor(s) and Subsequent Owners
that are not units of local government as defined in ORS 190.003, if any, to indemnify,
defend, save and hold harmless the State of Oregon and its officers, employees and agents
("Indemnitee") from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, or
expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from a tort(as now or hereafter defined in ORS
30.260) caused, or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by the negligent or willful acts or
omissions of Recipient's contractor or any of the officers, agents, employees or
subcontractors of the contractor("Contractor Tort Claims"). It is the specific intention of the
parties that the Indemnitee shall, in all instances, except for Contractor Tort Claims arising
solely from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Indemnitee, be indemnified by
the contractor from and against any and all Contractor Tort Claims. This Section shall
survive termination of this Contract/Agreement.
(2) Indemnity; Release—Claims Other Than Torts.
(a) Except for Third-Party Tort Claims and Contractor Tort Claims as provided in Section
6.(0)(1) above, to the extent authorized by law, Recipient shall defend, indemnify, save and
hold harmless and release the State, OBDD, and their officers, employees and agents from
and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, proceedings, losses, damages,
liability and court awards including but not limited to costs, expenses, and reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred(collectively, "Non-Tort Claims"), related to any actual or allected
act or omission by Recipient, or its officers, employees, contractors, or agents in connection
with this Agreement, the Project, PWR or Davis-Bacon Act requirements, including without
limitation, any expenses incurred or amounts paid in connection with an inquiry,
investigation, audit or similar proceeding by BOLI, the U.S. Department of Labor, the
Internal Revenue Service, Treasury and any other federal, state, governmental or quasi-
C2024522_Tigard_Contract Page 8 of 13
governmental body with regulatory jurisdiction arising from the Project or the actions or
omissions of Recipient, or its officers, employees, contractors, or agents.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Recipient nor any attorney engaged by Recipient may
defend any Non-Tort Claim in the name of the State of Oregon, nor purport to act as legal
representative for the State of Oregon, without first receiving from the Oregon Attorney
General in a form and manner determined appropriate by the Oregon Attorney General,
authority to act as legal counsel for the State of Oregon, nor may Recipient settle any Non-
Tort Claim on behalf of the State of Oregon without the approval of the Oregon Attorney
General. If the State of Oregon assumes its own defense, Recipient will be liable for the
attorney fees of the State of Oregon, including but not limited to any fees charged by the
Oregon Department of Justice. The provisions of this section are not to be construed as a
waiver by the State of Oregon, OBDD, of any immunity, defense or limitation on damages
provided for under Chapter 30 of the Oregon Revised Statutes or under the laws of the
United States or other laws of the State of Oregon. If attorney fees are awarded to Recipient,
such attorney fees shall not exceed the rate charged to OBDD by its attorneys.

C. No Remedy Exclusive; Waiver; Notice. No remedy available to OBDD is intended to be exclusive,

OBDD deems to be necessary.

Information
EXPLANATION OF ISSUE
Consider amendments to the development code to provide standards and approval processes for
food carts and food cart pods.
ACTION REQUESTED
Planning Commission and the Community Development team request Council adopt the proposed
amendments. If the ordinance is approved, a second public hearing will be held for consideration of a
resolution amending the Fees and Charges Schedule.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Beginning in 2020, Tigard kicked off two major long range planning projects that reimagined the city's
commercial, industrial, and mixed-use zones. Those projects led to a series of legislative amendments
collectively known as Tigard MADE. The amendments modernized Tigard's land use regulations that
apply to employment lands to accommodate new business and development types, increase
employment density, protect industrial land resources, increase housing capacity, facilitate mixed-use
commercial activity, and support urban neighborhood development.
One element of the Tigard MADE package was a set of regulations to explicitly allow food carts as a
use in the city. For several years, the city had been allowing food carts to operate as an accessory use
in limited locations, subject to certain requirements. This allowance had been made through policy
interpretation and did not offer food cart entrepreneurs certainty through a vested right to an
allowed land use. Tigard MADE provided an approval pathway for a vested land use for food carts
through a temporary use permit, subject to certain standards.
With the adoption of Tigard MADE, the Community Development team made a commitment to the
Tigard City Council to closely monitor the implementation of the code and to bring forward further
changes if needed, based on this monitoring and community feedback.
Almost immediately upon implementing the code, it became clear that the food cart provisions as
adopted were inadequate to the purpose for which they were intended. A summary of the issues
identified follows:
•The temporary use permit process is an inappropriate approval type for a use that is more
permanent in nature.
•The current standards applied to food carts are not sufficiently well-developed compared to the
standards in other peer cities and sometimes lacked clarity.
•There is no clear pathway to modify a food cart approval.
•There is not an approval pathway or any standards for food cart pods (four or more carts) as a
standalone use.
Given the burgeoning interest in food carts, particularly in food cart pods, the team made a
determination to prioritize development code amendments to correct the deficiencies in the adopted
code.
These changes are being proposed with an emergency clause. This is due to the imminent need for
regulations to support food cart entrepreneurs who have received city grants or have made significant
investments into food cart businesses and need a pathway to an approved land use to complete their
projects.
This package also includes two minor technical fixes. More detail is provided in the attached memo.
The code package also necessitates the addition of two application types to the city's fees and charges
schedule. Those fees have been set at a level that is substantially reduced from comparable
application type fees to support emerging businesses.
Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations
December 10, 2024 - Council briefing on upcoming code amendment package

SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND PROJECT SUMMARY
Project History
Beginning in 2020, Tigard kicked off two major long range planning projects that reimagined the city's
commercial, industrial, and mixed-use zones. Those projects led to a series of legislative amendments
collectively known as Tigard MADE. The amendments modernized Tigard's land use regulations that apply to

employment lands to accommodate new business and development types, increase employment density,
protect industrial land resources, increase housing capacity, facilitate mixed-use commercial activity, and
support urban neighborhood development.
One element of the Tigard MADE package was a set of regulations to explicitly allow food carts as a use in the
city. For several years, the city had been allowing food carts to operate as an accessory use in limited locations,
subject to certain requirements. This allowance had been made through policy interpretation and did not offer
food cart entrepreneurs certainty through a vested right to an allowed land use.
Tigard MADE provided an approval pathway for a vested land use for food carts through a temporary use
permit, subject to certain standards.
With the adoption of Tigard MADE, the Community Development team made a commitment to the Tigard
City Council to closely monitor the implementation of the code and to bring forward further changes if
needed,based on this information and community feedback.
Almost immediately, it became clear that the food cart provisions as adopted were inadequate to the purpose
for which they were intended. A summary of the issues identified follows:
• A temporary use permit is not the proper approval type for a use that is more permanent in
nature.
• The standards applied to food carts were not sufficiently well developed compared to the
standards in other peer cities and sometimes lacked clarity.
• There is no clear pathway to modify a food cart approval.
• There is not an approval pathway or any standards for food cart pods as a standalone use.
The city has seen a burgeoning interest particularly in food cart pods and so the team made a determination to
prioritize development code amendments to correct the deficiencies in the adopted code.
Proposal Description
• A new Chapter (18.750) specific to food carts has been added to the Tigard Community Development
Code (Title 18).
• Food cart approvals have been divided into two types:
o Food carts — allowable as accessory uses on site with legal primary uses, with up to three carts
per property subject to certain site design standards
o Food cart pods—allowable as a standalone use subject to certain site design standards
• Food cart and food cart pod standards have been added and are focused primarily on the following:
o Ensuring public health, safety, and welfare
o Maximizing pedestrian accessibility
o Minimizing conflicts with public right-of-way
o Protecting public infrastructure,particularly the sanitary sewer system
o Allowing supportive site design elements such as dining areas
• The previous Chapter 18.750 Historic Resources has been renumbered to 18.755.
• Omnibus changes have been made to other chapters to accommodate these changes.
Summary
The findings below support the adoption of the proposed Community Development Code amendments, as
attached to this recommendation.

SECTION IV. APPLICABLE CRITERIA, FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
This section contains all applicable city, regional, and state provisions that apply to the proposed Development
Code Amendments,and findings detailing how each provision is met.
STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS AND GUIDELINES
State planning regulations require cities to adopt and amend Comprehensive Plans and land use regulations in
compliance with the state land use goals. Because the proposed code amendments have a limited scope and
the text amendments address only some of the topics in the Statewide Planning Goals, only applicable
statewide goals are addressed below.
Statewide Planning Goal 1—Citizen Involvement:
This goal outlines the citizen involvement requirement for adoption of Comprehensive Plans and
changes to the Comprehensive Plan and implementing documents.
FINDING: The city conducted outreach with stakeholders including the Tigard Chamber of Commerce
and food cart entrepreneurs. Feedback from these stakeholders was incorporated into the final version of the
proposed amendments.
The notice requirements set forth in Section 18.710.120 (Legislative Procedures) were met. Notice was
provided to the Department of Land Conservation and Development through the Post-Acknowledgement
Plan Amendment process. A minimum of two public hearings will be held (one before the Planning
Commission and the second before the City Council) at which an opportunity for public input is provided. A
copy of the proposed amendments will be made available to the public for review prior to hearings and
adoption. This goal is satisfied.
Statewide Planning Goal 2—Land Use Planning:
This goal outlines the land use planning process and policy framework.
FINDING: The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) has acknowledged the city's
Comprehensive Plan as being consistent with the statewide planning goals. The Development Code
implements the Comprehensive Plan. The Development Code establishes a process and standards to review
changes to the Tigard Development Code in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and other applicable
state requirements. As discussed within this report, the applicable Development Code process and standards
have been applied to the proposed amendment, and the intent of these amendments are to meet the
requirement of state law, administrative rules, and the Statewide Planning Goals. This goal is satisfied.
Statewide Planning Goal 9—Economic Development
This goal outlines how cities and counties must plan to ensure that they have enough land available to realize
economic growth and development opportunities.
FINDING: This code package is intended to facilitate greater economic and entrepreneurial opportunities, a
more diverse mixture of business activity, and incremental redevelopment opportunities in order to maximize
the use of Tigard's limited remaining employment lands. This goal is satisfied.
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above and the related findings below, staff finds the proposed
code amendments are consistent with applicable Statewide Planning Goals.
FOOD CART DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE DCA2024-00002
1/28/2024 PUBLIC HEARING,PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS PAGE 3 OF 7
METRO'S URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONAL PLAN
State planning regulations require cities within the Metro service area to adopt and amend Comprehensive
Plans and land use regulations in compliance with Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan.
Because the proposed code amendments have a limited scope and the text amendments address only some of
the topics in METRO's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan, only applicable Titles are addressed
below.
Title 4—Industrial and Other Employment Areas
The Regional Framework Plan identifies Regionally Significant Industrial Areas (RSIAs), Industrial
Areas, and Employment Areas where activities are limited in efforts to promote industrial or
employment activity.
FINDING: While Tigard contains no RSIAs, it does contain Metro-identified Industrial Areas and
Employment Areas. Section 3.07.440 of the UGMFP requires the City to have land use regulations that limit
commercial retail uses in these areas. These amendments would prohibit food cart pods where eating and
drinking establishments are not allowed, including the city's limited supply of industrial lands. Food carts as an
accessory use could potentially be allowed where industrial uses are already a primary use, allowing for some
small commercial services to employees. This title is satisfied.
Title 6—Centers, Corridors, Station Communities and Main Streets
The Regional Framework Plan identifies Centers, Corridors, Main Streets and Station Communities
throughout the region and recognizes them as the principal centers of urban life in the region. Title 6
calls for actions and investments by cities and counties, complemented by regional investments, to
enhance this role. A regional investment is an investment in a new high-capacity transit line or
designated a regional investment in a grant or funding program administered by Metro or subject to
Metro's approval.
FINDING: Title 6 acknowledges that a vibrant mix of uses is needed in regional centers in order for the
center to be robust,walkable, and successful. The proposed updates allow for a broader mixture of pedestrian-
oriented activities in appropriate zones within the city's identified plan districts. This title is satisfied.
Title 8—Compliance Procedures
A city or county proposing an amendment to a comprehensive plan or land use regulation shall
submit the proposed amendment to the COO at least 35 days prior to the first evidentiary hearing on
the amendment. The COO may request, and if so the city or county shall submit, an analysis of
compliance of the amendment with the functional plan. If the COO submits comments on the
proposed amendment to the city or county, the comment shall include analysis and conclusions on
compliance and a recommendation with specific revisions to the proposed amendment, if any, that
would bring it into compliance with the functional plan. The COO shall send a copy of comment to
those persons who have requested a copy.
FINDING: Notice and a copy of the proposed code amendments were provided to Metro. No comments
were received to date.
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above, staff finds that the proposed code amendment is
consistent with Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan.
TIGARD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
FOOD CART DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE DCA2024-00002
1/28/2024 PUBLIC HEARING,PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS PAGE 4 OF 7
State planning regulations require cities to adopt and amend comprehensive plans and land use regulations in
compliance with the state land use goals and consistent with their adopted comprehensive plan goals and
policies. Because the development code amendments have a limited scope and the text amendments address
only some of the topics in the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, only applicable comprehensive plan goals and
associated policies are addressed below.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 1: Citizen Involvement
Policy 1.1.2: The City shall define and publicize an appropriate role for citizens in each phase of the
land use planning process.
FINDING: The proposed amendments have been reviewed by stakeholders including the Tigard Chamber
of Commerce and current food cart entrepreneurs in the city. Their comments have been incorporated into the
final version of the amendments.
The notice requirements set forth in Section 18.710.120 (Legislative Procedures) were met. A minimum of two
public hearings will be held (one before the Planning Commission and the second before the City Council) at
which an opportunity for public input is provided. A minimum of two drafts of the proposed code changes
(Proposed Draft to the Planning Commission, and Planning Commission Recommendation to City Council)
will be made available to the public for review prior to hearings and adoption.This policy is satisfied.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 2: Land Use Planning
Policy 2.1.1: The City's land use program shall establish a clear policy direction, comply with state
and regional requirements, and serve its citizens' own interests.
FINDING: The proposed text amendments to the development code comply with all state and regional
requirements, as the previous findings indicate. The proposed amendments provide clarification to ambiguous,
redundant, and contradictory language in the development code. The proposed amendments also establish a
clear policy direction for the approval of food carts and food cart pods. This policy is satisfied.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 2: Land Use Planning
Policy 2.1.2: The City's land use regulations, related plans, and implementing actions shall be
consistent with and implement its Comprehensive Plan.
FINDING: As demonstrated in this staff report, the proposed amendments to the Tigard Development
Code are consistent with the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. This policy is satisfied.
Policy 2.1.3: The City shall coordinate the adoption, amendment, and implementation of its land use
program with other potentially affected jurisdictions and agencies.
FINDING: Copies of the proposed text amendments were sent to affected agencies and each agency was
invited to comment on the proposal. No comments were received. This policy is satisfied.
Policy 2.1.24: The City shall establish design standards to promote quality urban development and to
enhance the community's value,livability, and attractiveness.
FINDING: The proposed amendments further the city's goal to provide design standards that ensure that
the value, livability, and attractiveness of the city is preserved and increased. Standards for food carts and food
cart pods ensure that the pedestrian realm remains attractive and that commercial development provides
adequate infrastructure and facilities to support its operation. This policy is satisfied.
FOOD CART DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE DCA2024-00002
1/28/2024 PUBLIC HEARING,PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS PAGE 5 OF 7
Comprehensive Plan Goal 9: Economic Development
Policy 9.1.3: The city's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive to
promote economic development opportunities, provided that required infrastructure is made
available.
FINDING: Allowing food carts as an accessory use and food cart pods as a standalone use further the city's
goals to create greater economic opportunity. Food cart entrepreneurs are an important part of the city's
economic vitality and livability. In addition, food carts offer a lower barrier to entry for many members of
undercapitalized groups, including immigrants and communities of color. These regulations allow for a more
flexible deployment of food carts while ensuring that infrastructure is provided at an appropriate scale to
support those uses. This policy is satisfied.
Policy 9.1.5: The City shall promote well-designed and efficient development and redevelopment of
vacant and underutilized industrial and commercial lands.
FINDING: Food carts are able to make efficient use of underutilized developed areas such as parking lots.
Similarly, food cart pods are able to efficiently utilize lands that are only marginally developable for typical brick
and mortar operations. By allowing these uses, the city is encouraging greater land use efficiency. This policy is
satisfied.
Policy 9.1.11: The City shall promote a vibrant mixture of business activity throughout Tigard,
encouraging mixed-use development with walkable access to services for employees and residents
alike.
FINDING: Food carts are an important part of a modern vibrant commercial district. By allowing food
carts and food cart pods, the city is promoting a vibrant mixture of pedestrian-oriented business activity. This
policy is satisfied.
Policy 9.2.1: The City shall institute appropriate land use regulations to accommodate
a contemporary mix of economic activities.
FINDING: The proposed amendments further the city's goal to accommodate modern uses that increase
the livability and attractiveness of the city. Standards for the street-facing portion of food cart pods ensure that
the pedestrian realm remains attractive to the street. This policy is satisfied.
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above, the proposed code text amendment is consistent with
applicable provisions of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan.

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL
ORDINANCE NO. 25-
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TIGARD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE
REGARDING FOOD CARTS AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY
WHEREAS, on April 24, 2024, Council approved a package of amendments to the Tigard Community
Development Code as part of the Tigard MADE project;and
WHEREAS, Tigard MADE was intended to modernize the Community Development Code to foster greater
economic opportunity and activity in the city;and
WHEREAS, food carts were contemplated in these development code changes as an important entrepreneurial
opportunity for the city's residents and business owners;and
WHEREAS,food carts are also an increasingly important part of a city's attractiveness and livability;and
WHEREAS,whereas the Council recognizes that the current regulations in the Community Development Code
that apply to food carts are incomplete and do not achieve the city's goals to encourage this type of business
entrepreneurship while meeting its livability goals;and
WHEREAS, an emergency is requested in order to prevent potential delays to approval of proposed food cart
operations.
NOW,THEREFORE,THE CITY OF TIGARD ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The Tigard Community Development Code is amended as shown in Attachment 2.
SECTION 2: The Tigard City Council adopts the findings of fact and conclusions of law as provided in
Attachment 1 in support of this amendment.
SECTION 3: If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances
is held invalid,such invalidity will not affect other provisions or applications of the ordinance
which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the
provisions of this ordinance are severable. This City Council hereby declares that it would
have adopted this ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof
and intends that the invalid portions should be severed and the balance of the ordinance be
enforced.
SECTION 4: As these amendments are deemed necessary to protect the health, safety,and welfare of the
city's residents and business owners, an emergency is declared to exist; therefore, this
ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage.
PASSED: By vote of all council members present after being read by number and
tide only,this day of ,2025.

TIGARD Memorandum
To: Tigard City Council
From: Katelyn Dendas,Assistant Planner
Re: Consistent Terminology in The Tigard Development Code
Date: January 13, 2025
This memo summarizes additional proposed changes to the Tigard Development Code related to
consistent terminology in the code. The MADE code change project effective on May 23, 2024,
changed terminology used in the Washington Square Regional Plan District. That terminology did
not get updated in two illustrations in the Development Code. A map and table are being corrected to
match the code text in the chapters outlined below. These issues were identified after the proposed
code package had already been recommended by Planning Commission. However, these reflect
technical fixes rather than policy changes, and so the Community Development team is requesting
Council adopt these along with the food cart regulations without a Planning Commission
recommendation.
Chapter 18.670 Washington Square Regional Center Plan District
The proposed code amendment corrects Map 18.670.A to reflect the accurate subdistrict designation,
which was previously updated from "Metzger Main" to "Metzger Business."
This adjustment aligns the map with the text of the code, ensuring consistency between the written
regulations and the visual representations.
This is not a substantive change to the subdistrict itself,but rather a technical correction to match the
map with the existing code language. This correction is necessary to maintain clarity and accuracy in
the development code.
Chapter 18.710 Land Use Review Procedures
The proposed code amendment addresses a correction to Table 18.710.1 by updating the
abbreviation for the application type, which was previously changed from Downtown
Development Review (DDR)to Development Design Review(DDR). This adjustment ensures
that the table accurately reflects the revised terminology.
This is not a substantial change to the application name itself,but rather a technical update to align
the code with previous amendments. This correction is necessary to unify the changes made to the
development code and ensure consistency through different chapters of the code.

TIGARD Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor Heidi Lueb and Tigard City Council
From: Schuyler Warren, Assistant Community Development Director
Re: Optional Amendment By Motion
Date: January 28, 2025
Comments and questions received from Councilor Hu on January 23 raised the question of whether
the proposed code amendments addressed drive through facilities as part of a food cart or food cart
pod.
The Community Development team reviewed the code and made the determination that although a
prohibition on drive through facilities is not made explicit in the code, it is covered under the
provisions of 18.750.060.I and 18.750.070.N that prohibit food cart queuing areas that extend into
vehicle maneuvering areas.
Understanding that the Council may wish to make this prohibition more clearly in the code to
prevent confusion or misinterpretations, the Community Development team is providing draft
language to the Council to adopt by motion should it be deemed necessary.
If the Council so chooses, the following motion may be made:
"I move to amend Section 18.750.030 by adding a new provision F with the language Drive-
through services are prohibited for food carts and food cart pods."
This would appear in the code as shown below:
18.750.030 General Provisions
F. Drive-through services are prohibited for food carts and food cart pods.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) establishes Tigard's budget and timeline for improvements to
City-owned and operated public infrastructure. A CIP project improves or adds value to the City's
infrastructure, typically costs $50,000 or more, and has a useful life or extends the useful life of
infrastructure for 5 years or more. Public facility systems addressed by the CIP include transportation,
parks, sanitary sewers, stormwater, domestic water, and city facilities.
In most cases, CIP projects are implemented with oversight from the City's Engineering Division. City
Engineer Joe Wisniewski will provide an update to Council, including the status of active projects.

Supplemental Questions and Answers
January 28, 2025 - City Council Meeting
Agenda Item No. 6. - LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING: ADOPT FOOD CART
DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 18.450
Q: (Councilor Hu) Why are food cart codes included in the chapter for Historic Resources?
A: (Assistant Community Development Director Warren) The food cart chapter is a new one.To
maintain the current practice of keeping chapters generally in alphabetical order,the Historic
Resources chapter is being renumbered,so the food cart chapter takes its old place. Page 2 of the
proposed adoption package provides some information on this change.
Q: (Councilor Hu) 18.750.010 D -Are carts/pods only be permitted in "parking areas?"
A: (Assistant Community Development Director Warren)The purpose statement is meant to provide
some information about the intent of the code. Purpose statements generally do not have a
regulatory role.The exception is when making findings for any adjustment.This particular purpose
statement is intended to show that food carts are allowed in areas that would have been originally
constructed as parking areas. It does not, and could not, require food carts to be exclusively placed in
these areas.
Q: (Councilor Hu) 18.750.060 I / 18.750.070 N - Do these provisions effectively prohibit drive-through
services?
A: (Assistant Community Development Director Warren) Although these two standards do not
explicitly prohibit drive-through services,they could be interpreted that way. If the Council should
wish to prohibit drive-through services in food cart pods,the CD team can prepare draft language that
Council could include by motion.
Q: (Councilor Hu) 18.750.060 L- Is the term "adequate means" clearly understood?
A: (Assistant Community Development Director Warren) For this particular use,the phrase"adequate
means" is intentionally subjective.The reason for this is that land use is not the typical venue for
reviewing FOG management,and we would not want to provide prescriptive standards that could
potentially run counter to those required by the city's building department,engineering, or Clean
Water Services. For example,some food carts do not have grease separators on site and instead
transport grey water to CWS disposal sites.The code is intended to be able to allow the breadth of

options acceptable to our partners and teammates while still ensuring that some kind of FOG
management is planned for and in place.
Q: (Councilor Hu) 18.750.060 L-The standards reference 18.435 and 18.410 regarding signs and off-
street parking, respectively. What about landscaping and screening in 18.420?
A: (Assistant Community Development Director Warren)The screening standards and any other
applicable provisions are covered by 18.750.070.U.Any applicable standards in the development code
may be applied, depending on the proposal. Signs and off-street parking were specifically cited due to
the assumption that both will be present in every case and to thus highlight them to an applicant.
Q: (Councilor Hu) I'm having trouble understanding why declaring this an emergency is needed. I can
see that they are relating to the health, safety and welfare of the city, but I need more explanation on
why it has to take effect immediately.
A: (Assistant Community Development Director Warren)The lack of adequate provisions in the code
to allow food cart operations is creating an issue for entrepreneurs who have been waiting while the
city corrects these deficiencies.This group of entrepreneurs includes at least one who has received a
city grant for this specific use. Additional delay in a pathway to approval creates additional financial
risk for these entrepreneurs, in contravention to the city's economic development goals. Additionally,
the lack of clear standards for FOG management in food cart approvals creates additional risk for the
city's infrastructure.
