SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Site History and Vicinity Information:
The subject site consists of Tax Lots 3000, 2901, and 2900 on Tax Map 2S108,located west of SW 161st Avenue and
directly south of Arbor Pointe and Meyers Farm (previously developed subdivisions in unincorporated Washington
County),within the River Terrace Community Plan area. The site slopes steeply away from the northeast portion of
the site toward the west and southwest. Residential buildings and driveways west of 161st Avenue (on Tax Lots 2901
and 3000) are to be demolished. Abutting land to the east,west, and south is within the River Terrace Plan District,
and adjacent land to the west has been approved as "River Terrace Edge."The site includes zones R-7 and R-12.
Proposal Description:
The Applicant requests approval of a 158-unit single-family residential Planned Development/Subdivision on a site
28.5 acres in size. The request includes both Concept Plan Review and Detailed Development Plan Review of the
Planned Development, and preliminary plat review for the subdivision, sensitive lands review,and early grading
authorization for the development. This submittal includes a two (2) parcel partition of Tax Lot 2900,which will
create a parcel (Parcel 2) for the existing residence on Tax Lot 2900 that is not part of the Planned
Development/Subdivision "River Terrace Park."This submittal also includes requests for five (5) Temporary Use
Permits for a sales office and four (4) model homes for"River Terrace Park."
The proposed development includes 158 detached single-family homes, tracts for wetlands and vegetated corridors in
the southwestern portion of the site, and a regional water quantity facility. Additionally, a neighborhood park is
planned in association with this development on a portion of Tract"0" of"River Terrace Edge" directly adjacent to
the SW corner of the site, and will include nature trails and nature play areas through proposed Tract"B."
Preliminary Plans illustrating the proposed development are provided as Exhibit C. The proposed lot sizes and
setbacks are modified through the Planned Development Standards, as further described in Table A,within Section II
of this report. This application includes a sensitive lands permit for the proposed vegetated corridor impacts
(drainage way),wetlands, and steep slopes.
The project proposes the use of residential skinny street options, neighborhood routes, and a private alley. The site
has two neighborhood routes—one running east-west through the site as an extension of SW Potomac Road from
River Terrace Edge, and another running north-south as an extension of SW 161st Avenue along the eastern edge of
the site. There are also proposed connections to existing SW 164th Avenue, and the previously approved SW Yukon
Street extending from River Terrace Edge to the west. This proposal requests an exception to the visual clearance
areas (per section 18.350.070.C7),provided adequate sight distance can be met (see Exhibit 11.1- Site Plan and
Typical Lot Plan).
SECTION IV. COMMENTS FROM PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 500 FEET
The applicant held a formal neighborhood meeting on September 21, 2016 with eight people in attendance. Neighbor
concerns focused on additional traffic on Bull Mountain, SW Roy Rogers, and surrounding areas, traffic signals,
design and function of proposed neighborhood park, construction access, tree preservation on the southern
boundary line, access to the future school site, construction dust and noise,HOA details, and timeline of completion.
On February 2, 2017 and February 16, 2017 the city sent notice of a pending land use action to neighboring property
owners within 500 feet of the subject site boundaries. The City did not receive any comments.

SECTION VI. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
This section addresses only the approval criteria that are relevant to the applicant's specific proposal.
18.350 PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
18.350.020 Process
A. Applicable in all zones. The planned development designation is an overlay zone applicable to all
zones. An applicant may elect to develop the project as a planned development, in compliance with
the requirements of this chapter, or in the case of a commercial or industrial project an approval
authority may apply the provisions of this chapter as a condition of approving any application for
the development.
The applicant proposes to develop the project as a planned development.
D. Concurrent applications for concept plan and detailed plan. In the case of concurrent applications
for concept plan and detailed development plan, including subdivision applications, the applicant
shall clearly distinguish the concept from the detailed plan. The Planning Commission shall take
separate actions on each element of the planned development application (i.e., the concept
approval must precede the detailed development approval); however each required action may be
made at the same hearing.
The applicant is applying for a concurrent review of the planned development concept plan and the detailed
development plan. Preliminary Plans depicting the PD Concept Plan, PD Concept Site Plan and Subdivision
Preliminary Plat are included on Sheets 5.2 and 6.2 respectively. The applicant's narrative addresses the concept plan
criteria on pages 7-28. The Commission shall take separate actions, first on the proposed concept plan, and second
on the detailed plan and all other requested land use reviews.
18.350.030 Administrative Provisions
D. Phased development.
1. The commission shall approve a time schedule for developing a site in phases, but in no case shall the total
time period for all phases be greater than seven years without reapplying for conceptual development plan
review.
2. The criteria for approving a phased detail development plan proposal are that:
a. The public facilities shall be constructed in conjunction with or prior to each phase; and
b. The development and occupancy of any phase shall not be dependent on the use of temporary public
facilities.A temporary public facility is any facility not constructed to the applicable city or district standard.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 13 OF 61
The proposed development will be developed in one phase. Site construction is expected to be initiated in 2020.
Home construction is expected to begin in 2021. These provisions are met.
18.350.050 Concept Plan Approval Criteria
1. The concept plan may be approved by the commission only if all of the following criteria are
met: The concept plan includes specific designations on the concept map for areas of open
space, and describes their intended level of use, how they relate to other proposed uses on the
site, and how they protect natural features of the site.
The Concept Plan Map in Exhibit C-5.2 shows specific designations for areas of open space. Open space area in the
south west portion of the site allows for preservation of an existing wetland and the most valuable portion of the
significant tree grove in the planned residential development. This criterion is met.
2. The concept plan identifies areas of trees and other natural resources, if any, and identifies
methods for their maximized protection,preservation, and/or management.
The Opportunities and Constraints Plan in Exhibit C-5.1 shows trees and existing natural resources and identifies
methods for their preservation. The site has been designed to preserve existing trees where it is feasible. The site
contains a significant tree grove and wetlands, most of which is concentrated along the southwestern site boundary.
Impacts to these areas are necessary for the project to remain viable, but the proposal has identified a method to
minimize impacts and maximize protection in the wetland and significant tree grove areas. The westernmost
wetland is the largest on the site, and is also heavily forested within the significant tree grove. By placing the
required regional water quantity facility outside of the significant tree grove and wetland area, the development is
able to minimize tree removal and mass grading impacts to the larger, wooded wetland. As proposed, about 40
percent of the footprint needed for the detention facility will not be disturbed by vegetation removal or grading
operations. The plan also identifies areas within the vegetated corridor to be enhanced from marginal or degraded to
good condition, as determined by SWCA Environmental Consultants during a site visit on August 24, 2016. This
criterion is met.
3. The concept plan identifies how the future development will integrate into the existing
neighborhood, either through compatible street layout, architectural style, housing type, or by
providing a transition between the existing neighborhood and the project with compatible
development or open space buffers.
As shown on the Circulation Plan in Exhibit C-9, the street system of the proposed planned development has been
designed so as to provide adequate internal circulation for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles within and through the
site. No public or private school sites are located on this site. The site abuts land to the north not within the River
Terrace Plan District. Land to the west, east, and south is within the River Terrace Plan District. The site to the west
has been approved as "River Terrace Edge."The site to the north is unincorporated Washington County,previously
developed as "Arbor Pointe" and "Meyers Farm." The attached Opportunities and Constraints Map (see Exhibit C-
5.1) shows existing uses on adjacent properties. The concept plan includes open space tracts to preserve existing
trees and wetlands. The street layout included in the concept plan is designed to conform to the existing street
system, connecting to existing neighborhood routes in "River Terrace Edge," as well as Arbor Pointe and Meyers
Farm. This criterion is met.
4. The concept plan identifies methods for promoting walkability or transit ridership, such
methods may include separated parking bays, off street walking paths, shorter pedestrian routes
than vehicular routes,linkages to or other provisions for bus stops, etc.
The proposed development includes methods for promoting walkability such as pedestrian connections, trails, and
through sidewalk improvements along the street frontage along all streets interior to the development. The
proposed development also includes an alley that provides garages at the rear of homes so that public street
frontages are kept clear of driveways. This not only enhances the pedestrian environment along public street
frontages, but provides ample opportunities for on-street parking. The pedestrian paths and transportation system
are shown in the attached Concept Plan Map (see Exhibit C-5.2). This criterion is met.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 14 OF 61
5. The concept plan identifies the proposed uses, and their general arrangement on site. In the
case of projects that include a residential component, housing type, unit density, or generalized
lot sizes shall be shown in relation to their proposed location on site.
The Concept Plan Map (see Exhibit C-5.2) shows locations of proposed uses, housing types, densities, and general
lot size ranges. The concept plan proposes 158 single-family homes. At a gross density of 5.5 units per acre, the
concept plan places proposed residential development at the north and southeastern portions of the site, providing
open space tracts in the SW corner of the site for preservation of wetlands and portions of the significant tree
grove. This criterion is met.
6. The concept plan must demonstrate that development of the property pursuant to the plan
results in development that has significant advantages over a standard development. A concept
plan has a significant advantage if it provides development consistent with the general purpose
of the zone in which it is located at overall densities consistent with the zone, while protecting
natural features or providing additional amenities or features not otherwise available that
enhance the development project or the neighborhood.
The concept plan provides development consistent with the general purpose of the R-7 and R-12 in which it is
located. According to the density calculations shown in section 18.715 of this report, the density range specified for
the site according to the site's zoning is 153-191 units. At 158 units, the concept plan is consistent with overall
densities of the zones in which it is located.
The concept plan includes protection of natural features to the extent feasible. The proposal achieves the River
Terrace Community Plan goal for a regional detention facility, while minimizing tree removal and mass grading in
wetland and significant tree grove areas. Preservation of these natural features allows the proposal to include
recreational amenities, such as a neighborhood park with trails and nature play areas. The proposed development
also includes an alleyway that provides garages at the rear of homes so that public street frontages are kept clear of
driveways. This not only enhances the pedestrian environment along public street frontages, but provides ample
opportunities for on-street parking. These features enhance the development project and would not otherwise be
available with the project as a standard development. This criterion is met.
FINDING: As shown in the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed concept plan meets the concept plan
approval criteria.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the proposed concept plan
(Sheet 5.2).
18.350.060 Detailed Development Plan Submission Requirements
C. Compliance with specific development standards. The detailed development plan shall show
compliance with base zone provisions,with the following modifications:
1. Lot dimensional standards. The minimum lot depth and lot width standards shall not apply.
There shall be no minimum lot size except that lots on the perimeter of the project shall not be
less than 80% of the minimum size required in the base zone.
Section 18.660.070.B of the River Terrace Plan District code states that this section does not apply, except to
defined perimeter lots. Section 18.660.070.B is addressed in subsequent sections of this report.
2. Site coverage. The maximum site coverage is 80%, except in the IP zone where the maximum
site coverage shall be 75%. Site coverage includes all buildings and impervious surfaces such as
streets and sidewalks.
Site coverage for lots within the proposed development is included in the Table A below.
3. Building height. In residential zones, any increase in the building height above the maximum
in the base zone will require that the structure be set back from the perimeter of the site a
distance of at least 1-1/2 times the height of the building.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 15 OF 61
The proposed development does not include any increases in the building height above the maximum allowed in the
base zone. This standard is met.
4. Structure setback provisions:
a. Setbacks for structures on the perimeter of the project shall be the same as that required by
the base zone unless otherwise provided by Chapter 18.360;
Setbacks for structures on the perimeter of the project will be the same as that required by the base zone as shown
in Table A below and shown on the Typical Lot Plan (Sheet 11.1). This provision is met.
b. The setback provisions for all setbacks on the interior of the project shall not apply except
that:
i. All structures shall meet the Uniform Building and Fire Code requirements;
ii. A minimum front yard setback of 20 feet is required for any garage structure which
opens facing a street. This setback may be reduced for rear or side loaded garages, if
specified on the detailed plan and proper clearances for backing movements are
accounted for;
iii. A minimum front yard setback of eight feet is required for any garage opening for an
attached single-family dwelling facing a private street as long as the required off-street
parking spaces are provided. This setback may be reduced for rear or side loaded
garages, if specified on the detailed plan and proper clearances for backing movements
are accounted for.
The applicant states that all structures in the proposed development will meet the Uniform Building and Fire Code
requirements. The garage setback for attached single family homes is proposed to be 20 feet for garages from a
public street. The garage setback for rear loaded garages from an alley will be three to six feet when no driveway
parking is provided or at least 16 feet when driveway parking is allowed from a private alley, as shown on the table
below and on the Site Plan/Typical Lot Plans (Sheets 11.1). The setback provisions are met.
c. If seeking to modify the base zone setbacks, the applicant shall specify the proposed
setbacks, either on a lot by lot, or project wide basis. The commission may require site
specific building envelopes.
Proposed setbacks and requested modification from the base zone setbacks are shown in the applicant's narrative in
Table A, below, and on the Typical Lot Plan (Sheets 11.1). The applicant is seeking to modify only the rear yard
setbacks of the interior lots. The proposed modification will reduce the rear yard setbacks from fifteen feet to ten
feet for interior detached homes, and from ten feet to five feet for all attached row homes. This provision is met.
5. Other provisions of the base zone.All other provisions of the base zone shall apply except as
modified by this chapter.
As shown in the applicant's preliminary plans and narrative report the proposed development complies with all
other provisions of the R-7 and R-12 base zone,with the modifications listed in the applicant's Table A and Typical
Lot Plan (Sheet 11.1). This provision is met.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the detailed development plan is consistent with the applicable base
zone development provisions. These provisions are met.

18.350.70 Detailed Development Plan Approval Criteria
A detailed development plan may be approved only if all the following criteria are met:
A. The detailed plan is generally consistent with the concept plan. Minor changes from the concept
plan do not make the detailed plan inconsistent with the concept plan unless:
1. The change increases the residential densities, increases the lot coverage by buildings or
reduces the amount of parking;
2. The change reduces the amount of open space and landscaping;
3. The change involves a change in use;
4. The change commits land to development which is environmentally sensitive or subject to a
potential hazard; and
5. The change involves a major shift in the location of buildings,proposed streets,parking lots,
landscaping or other site improvements.
The detailed plan is generally consistent with the concept plan and none of the above changes are proposed. This
criterion is met.
B. All the provisions of the land division provisions, Chapters 18.420, Partitions, and 18.430,
Subdivisions, shall be met if applicable;
All provisions of the subdivision provisions are met and demonstrated in Section 18.430 of this report. This
criterion is met.
C. Except as noted, the provisions of the following chapters shall be utilized as guidelines. A planned
development need not meet these requirements where a development plan provides alternative
designs and methods, if acceptable to the commission that promotes the purpose of this chapter. In
each case, the applicant must provide findings to justify the modification of the standards in the
chapters listed below. The applicant shall respond to all the applicable criteria of each chapter as
part of these findings and clearly identify where their proposal is seeking a modification to the strict
application of the standards. For those chapters not specifically exempted, the applicant bears the
burden of fully complying with those standards, unless a variance or adjustment has been
requested.
Compliance with the standards of Chapter 18.350.070.C.1-8 is addressed in subsequent sections of this report. The
applicant's proposal is not seeking modification to the application of any of the standards listed in the section.
D. In addition, the following criteria shall be met:
1. Relationship to the natural and physical environment:
a. The streets, buildings and other site elements shall be designed and located to preserve the
existing trees, topography and natural drainage to the greatest degree possible. The
commission may require the applicant to provide an alternate site plan to demonstrate
compliance with this criterion;
The streets, buildings and other amenities in the proposed development have been designed so as to preserve
existing trees, topography and natural drainages to the greatest degree possible. Trees will be preserved using tree
protection fencing during construction and grading will be minimized near the tree. As described in the Urban
Forestry Plan Supplemental Report, the 40 percent tree canopy standard will be met through tree preservation,
street tree planting, and tree plantings in open spaces. Grading on the site will be limited in order to preserve
existing topography, as shown on the Grading Plan in Exhibit C-7. As shown on the attached Opportunities and
Constraints Map (see Exhibit C-5.1), the site slopes steeply away from the northeast portion of the site toward the
west and southwest. The site includes slopes with grades ranging from 6.9-28.4 percent throughout the entirety of
the site. The chosen grading approach is to have blocks step down from east to west and north to south in areas of
steeper slopes, where some homes will be designed to be split level to minimize impacts to the site's natural
topography.. This criterion is met.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 18 OF 61
b. Structures located on the site shall not be in areas subject to ground slumping and sliding as
demonstrated by the inclusion of a specific geotechnical evaluation; and
Proposed structures located on the site are not in areas subject to ground slumping and sliding. This criterion is met.
c. Using the basic site analysis information from the concept plan submittal, the structures
shall be oriented with consideration for the sun and wind directions,where possible.
The basic site analysis information from the concept plan shows the general orientation of the lots. The application
does not include any wind force and direction information. A sun exposure diagram is included in the Opportunities
and Constraints Map. The development has been designed so that structures are oriented north-south for best sun
exposure,where possible. This criterion is met.
2. Buffering, screening and compatibility between adjoining uses:
a. Buffering shall be provided between different types of land uses; e.g., between single-family
and multifamily residential, and residential and commercial uses;
b. In addition to the requirements of the buffer matrix (Table 18.745.1), the requirements of the
buffer may be reduced if a landscape plan prepared by a registered landscape architect is
submitted that attains the same level of buffering and screening with alternate materials or
methods. The following factors shall be considered in determining the adequacy and extent
of the buffer required under Chapter 18.745:
i. The purpose of the buffer, for example to decrease noise levels, absorb air pollution,
filter dust, or to provide a visual barrier;
ii. The size of the buffer needs in terms of width and height to achieve the purpose;
iii. The direction(s) from which buffering is needed;
iv. The required density of the buffering; and
v. Whether the viewer is stationary or mobile.
c. On-site screening from view from adjoining properties of such activities as service areas,
storage areas, parking lots and mechanical devices on roof tops shall be provided and the
following factors shall be considered in determining the adequacy of the type and extent of
the screening:
i. What needs to be screened;
ii. The direction from which it is needed; and
iii. Whether the screening needs to be year-round.
No specific buffering standards apply to this site, as no adjoining site has a differing use that would require
buffering. The subject site is surrounded by similarly zoned property inside the UGB to the east, west, and south,
and land in Washington County in the Arbor Pointe and Meyers Farm subdivisions to the north that is similarly
zoned for single-family residential uses (Washington County R-6 Land Use District). Screening standards do not
apply as the site contains no such activities as service areas, storage areas, parking lots and mechanical devices on
roof tops. This criterion is met.
3. Privacy and noise. Nonresidential structures which abut existing residential dwellings shall be
located on the site or be designed in a manner, to the maximum degree possible, to protect the
private areas on the adjoining properties from view and noise;
The site abuts Arbor Pointe and Meyers Farm— previously developed residential subdivisions in unincorporated
Washington County— to the north. Land to the east, west, and south is within the River Terrace Plan District and
zoned for residential uses. Land to the west has been approved for development as "River Terrace Edge." The
attached Opportunities and Constraints map (see Exhibit 5.1) shows existing development on adjacent properties.
No non-residential structures are proposed or exist on abutting properties. This criterion is met.
4. Exterior elevations—Single-family attached and multiple-family structures. Along the vertical
face of single-family attached and multiple-family structures, offsets shall occur at a minimum
of every 30 feet by providing any two of the following:
a. Recesses, e.g., decks,patios, entrances, floor area, of a minimum depth of eight feet;
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 19 OF 61
b. Extensions, e.g., decks, patios, entrances, floor area, of a minimum depth of eight feet, a
maximum length of an overhang shall be 25 feet; and
c. Offsets or breaks in roof elevations of three or more feet in height.
Single-family attached units are not proposed with this project. This section is not applicable.
5. Private outdoor area—Residential use:
a. Exclusive of any other required open space facility, each ground-level residential dwelling
unit shall have an outdoor private area (patio, terrace, or porch) of not less than 48 square
feet with a minimum width dimension of four feet;
b. Wherever possible,private outdoor open spaces should be oriented toward the sun; and
c. Private outdoor spaces shall be screened or designed to provide privacy for the use of the
space.
Section 18.660.070.0 of the River Terrace Plan District code states that the private outdoor area requirements of
18.350.070.D.5 shall only apply to multifamily development. The proposed development consists of single-family
development within the River Terrace Plan District. Therefore, this section does not apply.
6. Shared outdoor recreation and open space facility areas—Residential use:
a. Exclusive of any other required open space facilities, each residential dwelling development
shall incorporate shared usable outdoor recreation areas within the development plan as
follows:
i. Studio units up to and including two bedroom units, 200 square feet per unit;
ii. Three or more bedroom units, 300 square feet per unit.
b. Shared outdoor recreation space shall be readily observable from adjacent units for reasons
of crime prevention and safety;
c. The required recreation space may be provided as follows:
i. Additional outdoor passive use open space facilities;
ii. Additional outdoor active use open space facilities;
iii. Indoor recreation center; or
iv. A combination of the above.
Section 18.660.070.D of the River Terrace Plan District code states that the shared outdoor recreation and open
space requirements of 18.350.070.D.6 shall only apply to multifamily development. The proposed development
consists of single-family development within the River Terrace Plan District. Therefore, this section does not apply.
7. Access and circulation:
a. The number of required access points for a development shall be provided in Chapter 18.705;
b. All circulation patterns within a development must be designed to accommodate emergency
and service vehicles; and
c. Provisions shall be made for pedestrian and bicycle ways abutting and through a site if such
facilities are shown on an adopted plan or terminate at the boundaries of the project site.
Compliance with the access and circulation standards are addressed in subsequent sections of this report. No
adjustments are requested. This criterion is met.
8. Landscaping and open space—Residential development. In addition to the buffering and
screening requirements of paragraph 2 of this subsection D, and any minimal use open space
facilities, a minimum of 20% of the site shall be landscaped. This may be accomplished in
improved open space tracts, or with landscaping on individual lots provided the developer
includes a landscape plan, prepared or approved by a licensed landscape architect, and surety
for such landscape installation.
As demonstrated in the attached Open Space Planting Plan in Exhibit C-L2.01, a minimum of 20 percent of the site
will be landscaped in either improved open space tracts (11.4 percent) or on individual lots (each lot will have a
minimum 20 percent area landscaped, 16.73 AC of lots x 20%= 3.3 AC = 11.7 percent of the 28.50 total site area),
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 20 OF 61
for a total of 23.1 percent. This criterion is met.
9. Public transit:
a. Provisions for public transit may be required where the site abuts or is within a quarter mile
of a public transit route. The required facilities shall be based on:
i. The location of other transit facilities in the area; and
ii. The size and type of the proposed development.
b. The required facilities may include but are not necessarily limited to such facilities as:
i. A waiting shelter;
ii. A turn-out area for loading and unloading; and
iii. Hard surface paths connecting the development to the waiting area.
c. If provision of such public transit facilities on or near the site is not feasible, the developer
may contribute to a fund for public transit improvements provided the Commission
establishes a direct relationship and rough proportionality between the impact of the
development and the requirement.
This standard does not apply as the proposed development site does not abut and is not within a quarter mile of a
public transit route. This criterion is met.
10. Parking:
a. All parking and loading areas shall be generally laid out in accordance with the
requirements set forth in Chapter 18.765;
b. Up to 50% of required off-street parking spaces for single-family attached dwellings may be
provided on one or more common parking lots within the planned development as long as
each single-family lot contains one off-street parking space.
Compliance with parking standards are addressed in subsequent sections of this report. The proposed development
will meet the specific parking standards of the River Terrace Plan District, as described in Section 18.660.100 of this
report. This criterion is met.
11. Drainage. All drainage provisions shall be generally laid out in accordance with the
requirements set forth in Chapter 18.810. An applicant may propose an alternate means for
stormwater conveyance on the basis that a reduction of stormwater runoff or an increase in the
level of treatment will result from the use of such means as green streets, porous concrete, or
eco roofs.
Compliance with drainage standards are addressed in subsequent sections of this report. No alternate means for
stormwater conveyance is proposed and no adjustment is requested. This criterion does not apply.
12. Floodplain dedication. Where landfill and/or development are allowed within or adjacent to the
100-year floodplain, the city shall require consideration of the dedication of sufficient open land
area for a greenway adjoining and within the floodplain. This area shall include portions of a
suitable elevation for the construction of a pedestrian/bicycle pathway with the floodplain in
accordance with the adopted pedestrian bicycle pathway plan.
The subject site is not within or adjacent to a designated 100-year floodplain. This criterion does not apply.
13. Shared open space facilities. These requirements are applicable to residential planned
developments only. The detailed development plan shall designate a minimum of 20% of the
gross site area as a shared open space facility. The open space facility may be comprised of any
combination of the following:
a. Minimal use facilities. Up to 75% of the open space requirement may be satisfied by
reserving areas for minimal use. Typically these areas are designated around sensitive lands
(steep slopes,wetlands, streams, or 100-year floodplain).
b. Passive use facilities. Up to 100% of the open space requirement may be satisfied by
PDR201 6-0001 5/SOB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 21 OF 61
providing a detailed development plan for improvements (including landscaping, irrigation,
pathway and other structural improvements) for passive recreational use.
c. Active use facilities. Up to 100% of the open space requirement may be satisfied by
providing a detailed development plan for improvements (including landscaping, irrigation,
pathway and other structural improvements) for active recreational use.
d. The open space area shall be shown on the final plan and recorded on the final plat or
covenants.
The proposed development is located within the River Terrace Plan District. As identified in section 18.660.070.E,
the shared open space facilities criteria of this section do not apply to developments within the River Terrace Plan
District. These criteria do not apply.
14. Open space conveyance: Where a proposed park, playground or other public use shown in a
plan adopted by the city is located in whole or in part in a subdivision, the commission may
require the dedication or reservation of such area within the subdivision, provided that the
reservation or dedication is roughly proportional to the impact of the subdivision on the park
system.
Where considered desirable by the commission in accordance with adopted comprehensive
plan policies, and where a development plan of the city does not indicate proposed public use
areas, the commission may require the dedication or reservation of areas within the subdivision
or sites of a character, extent and location suitable for the development of parks or other public
use, provided that the reservation or dedication is roughly proportional to the impact of the
subdivision on the park system. The open space shall be conveyed in accordance with one of
the following methods:
a. Public ownership. Open space proposed for dedication to the city must be acceptable to it
with regard to the size, shape, location, improvement and budgetary and maintenance
limitations. A determination of city acceptance shall be made in writing by the parks &
facilities division manager prior to final approval. Dedications of open space may be eligible
for systems development charge credits, usable only for the proposed development. If
deemed to be not acceptable, the open space shall be in private ownership as described
below.
b. Private ownership. By conveying title (including beneficial ownership) to a corporation,
home association or other legal entity, and granting a conservation easement to the city in a
form acceptable by the city. The terms of the conservation easement must include
provisions for the following:
i. The continued use of such land for the intended purposes;
ii. Continuity of property maintenance;
in. When appropriate, the availability of funds required for such maintenance;
iv. Adequate insurance protection; and
v. Recovery for loss sustained by casualty and condemnation or otherwise.
Dedication of open space or other public uses will be completed at the time of final plat submittal as determined in
writing by the Parks and Facilities Division Manager prior to final plat approval.As conditioned below, these criteria
are met.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the applicable detailed development plan approval criteria are met, or
have been conditioned to be met. To ensure these standards are met the following condition of
approval shall be applied.
CONDITION:
Prior to final plat approval, the applicant shall submit a determination in writing by the Parks and
Facilities Division Manager regarding dedication of open space or other public uses.
18.420 LAND PARTITIONS
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 22 OF 61
18.420.030 Approval Process
A. Decision-making process. The director shall approve, approve with conditions or deny an application
partition,which shall be reviewed by means of a Type II procedure, as governed by Chapter 18.390,
using approval criteria contained in Section 18.420.050.
B. Time limit on approval. The partition approval by the director shall be effective for a period of 1-1/2
years from the date of approval.
C. Lapsing of approval. The partition approval by the director shall lapse if:
1. The partition has been improperly recorded with Washington County without the satisfactory
completion of all conditions attached to the approval; or
2. The final recording is a departure from the approved plan.
D. Extension. The director shall, upon written request by the applicant and payment of the required fee,
grant an extension of the approval period not to exceed one year provided that:
1. No changes are made on the original plan as approved by the director;
2. The applicant can show intent of recording the approved partition or lot line adjustment within the
one-year extension period; and
3. There have been no changes in the applicable comprehensive plan policies and ordinance
provisions on which the approval was based.
This submittal includes a two (2) parcel partition of Tax Lot 2900,which will create a parcel (Parcel 2) for the existing
residence on Tax Lot 2900 that is not part of the Planned Development/Subdivision"River Terrace Park."The
applicant understands the above steps for the approval process, and will file a partition plat within the specified time
frame or request an extension.
18.420.040 Application Submission Requirements
A. General submission requirements.All applications shall be made on forms provided by the director
and shall include information required for a Type II application, as governed by Chapter 18.390.
B. Specific submission requirements. All applications shall include the preliminary lot line map and
necessary data or narrative, detailed information for which shall be obtained from the director.
The required application forms are located in Section A of the applicant's submittal, and the preliminary partition plat
is located in Exhibits C-6.1.
18.420.050 Approval Criteria
A. A request to partition land shall meet all of the following criteria:
1. The proposed partition complies with all statutory and ordinance requirements and regulations;
The proposed partition is a two-lot partition of Tax Lot 2900,whereas Parcel 1 would encompass the majority of the
parcel (17.55 acres) and Parcel 2 (1.28 acres) would include the area around the existing home on the parcel. The
proposed partition complies with ORS Chapter 92 and the requirements of this code section. This criterion is met.
2. There are adequate public facilities available to serve the proposal;
Plans in Exhibit C-6.1 and C-8 of this notebook demonstrate that the site has adequate public facilities available to
serve the two-lot partition proposal. This criterion is met.
3. All proposed improvements meet City and applicable agency standards; and
This submittal includes a two (2) parcel partition of Tax Lot 2900,which will create a parcel (Parcel 2) for the existing
residence on Tax Lot 2900 that is not part of the Planned Development/Subdivision"River Terrace Park."The parcel
with the home will continue to have access to existing utilities and driveway until River Terrace Park development
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 23 OF 61
occurs and the home is connected to public utilities. However, no improvements are required to implement the
partition as both parcels have access to public roads and the home is already served with existing utilities.This criterion
is met.
4.All proposed lots conform to the specific requirements below:
a. The minimum width of the building envelope area shall meet the lot requirement of the
applicable zoning district.
There is one existing residence on Parcel 2,which meets building envelope standards as shown on Exhibit C-6.1.
Parcel 1 is planned to be redeveloped and replatted as the residential Planned Development"River Terrace Park."This
criterion is met.
b. A The lot area shall be as required by the applicable zoning district. In the case of a flag lot,
the accessway may not be included in the lot area calculation.
Parcel 2 complies with the 5,000 square foot minimum lot sizes for the R-7 zone. Parcel 1 complies with both the
5,000 square foot and 3,050 square foot minimum lot sizes for R-7 and R-12 zones respectively. However, Parcel 1 is
proposed to be replatted as "River Terrace Park."This criterion is met.
c. Each lot created through the partition process shall front a public right-of-way by at least 15
feet or have a legally recorded minimum 15-foot wide access easement.
Parcel 1 will front a public right-of-way by at least 15 feet on two separate frontages—one at SW 164th Avenue,and
the other at SW 161st Avenue. Parcel 2 has a temporary 25-foot access and utility easement for the benefit of the
current residence. This criterion is met.
d. Setbacks shall be as required by the applicable zoning district.
The partition occurs in both the R-7 and R-12 zoning districts. Both the R-7 and R-12 zones have the same minimum
setbacks: 15 foot front and rear yard, and five foot side yard. The existing home on Parcel 2 complies with these
setbacks as demonstrated on Exhibit C-6.1. Parcel 1 does not include any existing structures.
e. When the partitioned lot is a flag lot, the developer may determine the location of the front
yard,provided that no side yard is less than 10 feet. Structures shall generally be located so as
to maximize separation from existing structures.
Neither Parcel 1 or Parcel 2 are flag lots, therefore this section is not applicable.
f. A screen shall be provided along the property line of a lot of record where the paved drive in
an accessway is located within ten feet of an abutting lot in accordance with Sections
18.745.050. Screening may also be required to maintain privacy for abutting lots and to provide
usable outdoor recreation areas for proposed development.
A screen will not be provided along the north property line next to the driveway access to Parcel 2 because the
accessway has existed for some time already and will not exist once the River Terrace Park development occurs.
Therefore, this section is not applicable.
g. The fire district may require the installation of a fire hydrant where the length of an
accessway would have a detrimental effect on fire- fighting capabilities.
No fire hydrant installation is required for the partition.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 24 OF 61
h. Where a common drive is to be provided to serve more than one lot, a reciprocal easement
which will ensure access and maintenance rights shall be recorded with the approved partition
map.
There is not a common drive serving more than one lot, therefore this section is not applicable.
5.Any accessway shall comply with the standards set forth in Chapter 18.705,Access, Egress, and
Circulation.
Parcel 2 has a 25' access and utility easement for the benefit of the current residence on proposed Parcel 2. This
easement meets criteria set forth in Chapter 18.705.This criterion is met.
6. Where landfill and/or development is allowed within or adjacent to the one-hundred-year
floodplain, the City shall require consideration of the dedication of sufficient open land area for
greenway adjoining and within the floodplain. This area shall include portions at a suitable elevation
for the construction of a pedestrian/bicycle pathway with the floodplain in accordance with the
adopted pedestrian/bicycle pathway plan.
Neither landfill nor development is proposed to occur adjacent to the one-hundred-year floodplain, thus this
subsection is not applicable.
7.An application for a variance to the standards prescribed in this chapter shall be made in
accordance with Chapter 18.370,Variances and Adjustments. The applications for the partition and
variance(s)/adjustment(s)will be processed concurrently.
No variances are requested as part of this partition. This subsection is not applicable.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the applicable partition approval criteria are met, or have been
conditioned to be met. To ensure these standards are met the following condition of approval shall
be applied.
CONDITION:
The applicant shall record the minor land partition with Washington County prior to final plat
approval and submit a copy of the recorded survey maps and deeds. Evidence the proposed plat has
been recorded must be submitted to the city within 15 days of recording,which shall be completed
prior to final plat of the subdivision.

18.660 RIVER TERRACE PLAN DISTRICT
18.660.020 Applicability
This chapter applies to all property that is located in the River Terrace Plan District. The boundaries of
the plan district are shown on Map 18.660.A,which is located at the end of this chapter. The standards and
requirements in this chapter apply in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other applicable provisions of the
Tigard Community Development Code (TCDC). Compliance with all applicable standards and
requirements must be demonstrated in order to obtain development approval. The standards and
requirements in this chapter shall govern in the event of a conflict.
18.660.030 Provision of Adequate Public Facilities
A. Intent. The intent of this section is to address the provision of the infrastructure systems necessary to
benefit and serve all property in River Terrace as provided for in the River Terrace Community Plan,
River Terrace Funding Strategy, and related infrastructure master plans, in light of the desire of property
owners to commence preliminary development prior to full implementation of these plans and with the
understanding that no development rights vest and no development approvals can be granted until the
infrastructure systems are in place or assured.
B. Approval Standard. Land use applications for subdivisions, partitions, planned developments, site
development reviews, and conditional uses may be approved when the applicable standards in subsection
E of this section are met by the applicant and when all of the following funding components of the River
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 26 OF 61
Terrace Funding Strategy have been adopted by the city and are in effect:
1. Transportation. A citywide transportation system development charge (SDC), a River Terrace
transportation SDC, and a River Terrace transportation utility fee surcharge.
2. Sewer. A citywide utility fee surcharge.
3. Stormwater.A River Terrace stormwater utility fee surcharge.
The applicant is requesting deferral of the requirement to demonstrate compliance with the transportation, sewer and
stormwater approval standards of this section, as identified in subsection C. The applicant will establish a Development
Agreement with the City to establish alternative schedules for meeting compliance with the criteria in this section.
Compliance will be demonstrated prior to submission of applications for utility or building permits.Additionally, the
Applicant is requesting approval of an Adequate Public Facilities Exception since utility fees for transportation, sewer,
and stormwater have not yet been adopted by the City. The SDC funding components listed above were adopted in
April 2015.
C. Deferral of Compliance.
1. The applicant may request to defer demonstrating compliance with one or more of the standards in
subsections B and E of this section as provided for below:
a. Preliminary Plat. Deferral of compliance to final plat approval.
b. Planned Development Concept Plan (Without a Land Division Proposal). Deferral of compliance to
detailed development plan approval.
c. All Other Development Applications. A condition of development approval requiring demonstration of
compliance no later than 180 days after approval or prior to submission of applications for building or
public facility improvement permits,whichever occurs first.
2. Deferral of compliance as provided for in paragraph 1 of this subsection C shall be granted only if:
a. The applicant demonstrates that the approval standard will likely be met prior to filing an application
for final plat or detailed development plan approval, or prior to expiration of the condition of approval
described in subparagraph 1.c of this subsection C. A determination by the approval authority that it is
likely that the standard will be met shall be for the purposes of deferral only and in no way constitutes an
assurance, guarantee, or other representation that may in any way be relied upon by the applicant; and
b. The applicant executes a written agreement prepared by the city acknowledging that the applicant has
determined that deferral is to its benefit and that any and all actions taken pursuant to or in furtherance of
the approval are at the applicant's sole and exclusive risk. The acknowledgement shall waive, hold
harmless and release the city, its officers, employees and agents for any and all claims for damages,
including attorney fees, in any way arising from a denial for failure to demonstrate compliance with the
standards in subsection B of this section,without regard to fault. Nothing in this section shall preclude the
applicant from seeking review of any land use decision in accordance with ORS Chapters 197, 215, 227, or
equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
The applicant is requesting deferral of the requirement to demonstrate compliance with the approval standards of
subsection B, as identified in this section. The applicant will establish a Development Agreement with the City to
establish alternative schedules for meeting compliance with the criteria in subsection C. Compliance will be
demonstrated prior to submission of applications for utility or building permits. As conditioned these criterion are met.
D. Exception.
1. An exception to one or more of the standards in subsection B of this section may be obtained through a Type II
procedure as governed by Section 18.390.040.
The applicant submitted the proper forms, fees, and materials for a Type II application. The city provided the proper
public notice.
2. An exception shall be granted only if the applicant:
a. Demonstrates that the exception will not materially impact implementation of the River Terrace Sanitary
Sewer Master Plan Addendum, River Terrace Water System Master Plan Addendum, River Terrace
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 27 OF 61
Stormwater Master Plan,River Terrace Transportation System Plan Addendum, and River Terrace Funding
Strategy;and
The Applicant is requesting an exception to the standards in subsection B. The exception will not materially impact
implementation of the River Terrace Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Addendum, River Terrace Water System Master Plan
Addendum, River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan, River Terrace Transportation Plan Addendum and River Terrace
Funding Strategy. The project includes preliminary infrastructure plans that are consistent with the aforementioned
plans and addendums. Polygon has agreed will disclose in writing to each purchaser of property for which a building
permit has been obtained that the property may be subject to future utility fees as described in the River Terrace
Funding Strategy. This criterion is met.
b. Has proposed alternative(s) that ensures that the applicant will provide its proportional share of the funding
and construction of the facilities in a timely manner as identified in the River Terrace Funding Strategy and
related infrastructure master plans.This may include,but is not limited to, a development agreement or
reimbursement district; and
The applicant has proposed a development agreement as an alternative to providing their proportional share of
funding and construction of facilities in a timely manner, as identified in the River Terrace Funding Strategy and
related infrastructure master plans. This criterion is met.
c. Agrees to disclose in writing to each purchaser of property for which a building permit has been obtained
that the property may be subject to future utility fees or SDCs as described in the River Terrace Funding
Strategy;and
The applicant has agreed to disclose to each purchaser of property that it may be subject to future utility fees. As
conditioned, this requirement is met.
d. Executes an agreement prepared by the city agreeing that,if the new transportation SDCs described in
paragraph B.1 of this section are not in effect at the time of building permit issuance,the applicant shall
pay an amount equal to the SDC amount assumed in the River Terrace Funding Strategy.
This requirement is not applicable since the new transportation SDCs have been adopted and are in effect. This
criterion no longer applies.
3. An exception shall be granted only if the city finds that:
a. There are adequate funding components in place for the infrastructure that is needed to serve the proposed
development; and
The city adopted all of the fees that will be paid by the applicant at the time of development. These fees are called
system development charges or SDCs. The city prioritized the adoption of these fees over utility fees, which will be
paid by residents, because development in River Terrace will naturally preced any influx of new residents. The city
plans to adopt all of the utility fees required by its Adequate Public Facilities ordinance prior to any significant influx
of new residents. In addition to paying all required SDCs,which will pay for needed infrastructure elsewhere in River
Terrace and the city, the applicant has built or will build all of the infrastructure that is needed to serve the
subdivision, as required by this land use decision (PDR2O16-00016). This standard is met.
b. The exception will not materially impact implementation of the River Terrace Sanitary Sewer Master Plan
Addendum, River Terrace Water System Master Plan Addendum, River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan,
River Terrace Transportation System Plan Addendum, and River Terrace Funding Strategy;and
The future utility fees to be adopted by the city are to be charged to future River Terrace residents, not developers.
The applicant, as the developer's representative, will contribute its proportionate share of the public facilities needed
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 28 OF 61
to serve River Terrace through payment of adopted SDCs and construction of on- and off-site public facilities as
required by this land use decision. This standard is met.
c. The proposed alternative(s) ensures that the applicant will provide its proportional share of the funding and
construction of the facilities in a timely manner as identified in the River Terrace Funding Strategy and
related infrastructure master plans.
Pursuant to the River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan, the applicant has proposed construction of an alternative
stormwater management facility. Upon evaluation of all available analysis and cost estimates, the city may determine,
post-construction, that the cost per home for the alternative facility is comparable to the cost per home for the
regional downstream conveyance pipe and that the alternative facility is projected to reduce stormwater flow rate
from the site below pre-development discharge rates based on the preliminary drainage report. In summary, the city
has determined that the applicant will be allowed to build an alternative facility, as proposed. This standard is met.
E.Additional Standards.
1. Infrastructure improvements for water, sewer, stormwater, and transportation systems, including but not
limited to pump stations and trunk lines, shall be located and designed to serve the proposed development
and not unduly or unnecessarily restrict the ability of any other property to develop in accordance with the
applicable River Terrace Infrastructure Master Plan. Infrastructure improvements shall be evaluated for
conformance with this standard during the land use review process. The city shall take into account the
topography, size, and shape of the development site; the impact of the improvement on the development
site; and, the reasonableness of available options during its review. The applicant shall not be required to
reduce otherwise permitted density or obtain a variance to demonstrate compliance, but this standard may
be considered in reviewing a variance application.
2. Infrastructure improvements for water, sewer, and stormwater shall be placed in easements that are
located, wherever possible, within existing or future rights-of-way. Easements and rights-of-way shall
extend through and to the edge of the development site at such locations that would maximize the
function and availability of the easement and right-of-way to serve adjacent and surrounding properties.
Easements and rights-of-way shall be evaluated for conformance with this standard during the land use
review process. Dedications of easements and rights-of-way shall be required as a condition of land use
approval, except where the approval is for a future phase of a planned development or land division
approval.
3. Development in water pressure zone 550 shall either provide or demonstrate that there is sufficient water
capacity in water pressure zone 550 to serve the proposed development, or that it can be served by another
water pressure zone that has sufficient capacity, to the satisfaction of the city engineer and Tualatin Valley
Fire and Rescue during the land use review process.
4. Development in the north and south sewer sub-basins shall demonstrate, where applicable, that there is
sufficient pump station capacity and associated force mains to serve the proposed development, or that it
can be served by other system improvements, to the satisfaction of the city engineer and Clean Water
Services during the land use review process.
5. If compliance with stormwater management standards is dependent upon an off-site conveyance system
or an on- or off-site regional facility that has not yet been provided, the applicant may propose alternative
and/or interim systems and facilities as described in the River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan.
a. Development approval for an interim facility shall include a condition to decommission the interim
facility, connect it to the permanent facility when it becomes available to serve the development, and
assurance that adequate financial resources are available to decommission the interim facility when the
permanent facility becomes available.
b. Development approval for an alternative or on- or off-site regional system or facility may include a
condition to form a reimbursement district.
c.No stormwater management system or facility shall be approved if it would prevent or significantly
impact the ability of other properties to implement and comply with the River Terrace Stormwater Master
Plan or other applicable standards.

6. If compliance with stormwater management standards is dependent upon an off-site conveyance system
or an on- or off-site regional facility that has not yet been provided, the Applicant may propose alternative
and/or interim systems and facilities as described in the River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan.
a. Development approval for an interim facility shall include a condition to decommission the
interim facility, connect it to the permanent facility when it becomes available to serve the
development, and assurance that adequate financial resources are available to decommission the
interim facility when the permanent facility becomes available.
b. Development approval for an alternative or on- or off-site regional system or facility may include a
condition to form a reimbursement district.
c. No stormwater management system or facility shall be approved if it would prevent or
significantly impact the ability of other properties to implement and comply with the River Terrace
Stormwater Master Plan or other applicable standards.
The applicant is proposing to construct appropriate facilities as anticipated by the Master Plan. The proposed
development is located and designed so as not to unduly or unnecessarily restrict the ability of any other property to
provide or access a public easement or facility required for the property to develop in accordance with this Code.
The applicant is not requesting a variance that would necessitate consideration of this standard.
This standard is met.
F. Other Provisions.
1.Unless expressly authorized in a development approval, no person shall impose a private fee or any
charge whatsoever that prohibits, restricts, or impairs adjacent or surrounding properties from accessing a
public easement, facility, or service.
2. For purposes of this section, an ordinance or resolution adopting an SDC, utility fee, or other charge to
fund public facilities and/or services described in this section shall be deemed effective if it has taken
effect and the time for any legal challenge has expired or any legal challenge has been finally decided.
The Applicant does not intend to impose a private fee or any charge whatsoever that prohibits,restricts, or impairs an
adjoining property from accessing a public easement, facility, or service or denies access to such public easement,
facility, or service. The Applicant understands that an ordinance or resolution adopting an SDC, utility fee, or other
charge to finance public facilities and services described in this section shall be deemed effective if it has taken effect
and the time for any legal challenge has expired or any legal challenge has been finally decided.
. This standard is met.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the provision of adequate public facilities approval criteria are met, or
have been conditioned to be met. To ensure these standards are met the following condition of
approval shall be applied.

the approval criteria in Sections 18.330.030, 18.350.050, 18.350.070, and 18.360.090, the following approval
criterion shall apply to all conditional use,planned development, and site development review applications
in River Terrace.
1. Unless the applicable approval authority determines it is in the public interest to make modifications,
the applicant shall design construct all streets, street extensions, and intersections to conform to:
a. The River Terrace Transportation System Plan Addendum; and
b. The street spacing and connectivity standards of this chapter, the TCDC, and Washington
County,where applicable; and
c. The approved plats of subdivisions and maps of partitions of abutting properties, if any, as to width and
general direction.
2. The development shall not impede the future use or development of adjacent property in River Terrace
not under the control or ownership of the applicant proposing the conditional use, planned development,
multifamily, or commercial development.
As demonstrated on the Circulation Plan (See Exhibit C-9), the streets, street extensions, and intersections in the
proposed development conform to the River Terrace Transportation System Plan Addendum, the street spacing and
connectivity standards of this chapter, and the TCDC. In conformance with the River Terrace Transportation System
Plan Addendum Figure 6,the proposed development will incorporate proposed local residential streets extending
north and another extending west from "River Terrace Edge."Additional streets include incorporating the
neighborhood route stub from "River Terrace Edge" extending east to connect with the extension of neighborhood
route 161st Avenue along the eastern boundary of the site. No other streets, street extensions, and intersections are
identified within the subject site in the River Terrace Transportation System Plan Addendum. Compliance with the
street spacing and connectivity standards of this chapter and the TCDC are demonstrated in section 18.660.080 and
later sections of this report. The development conforms to approved plats of subdivisions and maps of partitions of
abutting properties, as to width and general direction,where applicable.
With the provision of the above mentioned street network, the preliminary plat does not impede the future use or
development of adjacent property within River Terrace not under the control or ownership of the applicant proposing
the preliminary plat. These criterion are met.
C. Conditions of Approval. The approval authority may attach such conditions as are necessary to comply
with the River Terrace Community Plan, related infrastructure master plans, this chapter, and other
applicable provisions of the TCDC.
Staff has recommended conditions of approval in this staff report for the Planning Commission's consideration.
18.660.060 River Terrace Boulevard Development Standards
A. Applicability. The applicable development standards contained in the underlying base zone shall apply
to all development in River Terrace, except where the applicant has obtained variances or adjustments in
accordance with Chapter 18.370 or subsection D of this section, and except as specified below.
The development standards in this section shall apply to the types of development listed below on lots
abutting the River Terrace Boulevard right-of-way (ROW).
The subject site does not include River Terrace Boulevard, which is located west of the site within "River Terrace
Edge."Therefore, these standards are not applicable.
18.660.070 Planned Developments
The requirements of Chapter 18.350 shall apply to all planned developments in River Terrace, except as
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 31 OF 61
modified below.
A. Density Calculation. To encourage development that is consistent with the design concept for River
Terrace Boulevard, the River Terrace Community Plan, and the building design standards in this chapter,
planned developments in River Terrace may limit the land dedicated for public or private rights-of-way,
including tracts for vehicle access, to 20% of gross site acreage for the purpose of calculating net
development area and density as described in paragraphs 18.715.020.A.3 and 4.
The proposed development utilizes the 20 percent deduction of land dedicated for public or private rights-of-way for
the purpose of calculating net development area and density. As shown on the Density Calculation Maps &Tables (see
Exhibit C-4), the proposed development meets minimum and maximum densities using the standards described in
Subsections 18.715.020.A.3 and 4.
B. Development Standards. The provisions of the underlying
B. Development Standards. The provisions of the underlying base zone(s) shall apply except as modified
by this section. The specific development standards contained in subsection 18.350.060.0 shall not apply.
The following specific development standards shall apply in their place.
1. Lot Dimensions. The minimum lot area and lot width standards of the underlying base zone shall not
apply to any lots, including those lots abutting right-of-way,with the following exception:
Lots along the eastern and northern perimeter of the River Terrace Plan District abutting existing
residential development, or residentially-zoned land that is undeveloped or is in an easement or tract, shall
meet the minimum lot area and lot width standards of the underlying base zone.
2. Building Height. The maximum building height standard of the underlying base zone shall not apply to
any building on any lot, including those lots abutting right-of-way, with the following exception: Buildings
on lots along the eastern and northern perimeter of the River Terrace Plan District abutting existing
residential development, or residentially-zoned land that is undeveloped or is in an easement or tract, shall
be set back one additional foot for every two feet of height above the maximum height allowed on the side
of the lot abutting the perimeter.
3. Setbacks. The setback standards of the underlying base zone shall not apply to any building on any lot,
including those lots abutting right-of-way, except as follows:
a. All buildings on lots along the eastern and northern perimeter of the River Terrace Plan District
abutting existing residential development, or residentially-zoned land that is undeveloped or is in an
easement or tract, shall meet the setback standard of the underlying base zone or the abutting zone,
whichever provides the greater setback, on the side of the lot abutting the perimeter. This standard may be
met by proposing an open space tract between the proposed development and the abutting development
or land.
b.All buildings shall meet the minimum requirements of the Oregon Specialty Codes and the Oregon Fire
Code All garages and carports shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet on the side of the lot from which
vehicle access is taken from a public right-of-way. If vehicle access is taken from a private street or alley,
this setback may be reduced to zero feet where proper clearances for turning and backing movements are
provided.
c. Where the applicant proposes to reduce the underlying base zone setbacks for buildings on lots not
included in subparagraph a. of this paragraph 3, the applicant shall specify the proposed setbacks on
either a lot-by-lot or area-wide basis.
4. Planning Commission Discretion. The Planning Commission may approve a smaller perimeter lot
and/or a lesser perimeter setback where the applicant demonstrates that a smaller lot or lesser setback will
have no greater impact on abutting development or land than the minimum standards for perimeter lots
described above in paragraphs 1 through 3 of this subsection B.
The proposed development contains lots on the northern perimeter of the River Terrace Plan District, and these lots
are adjacent to residentially zoned land in Washington County R-6 Land Use District. Single family detached
PDR2016-00015/S UB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 32 OF 61
dwellings in the R-6 District have a minimum lot area of 4,000 square feet. In regard to yard setback requirements,
the perimeter involves only side and rear yards.Within the R-6 District, the minimum yard requirements are five foot
side yard and 15 foot rear yard. Compliance with these perimeter lot requirements is shown on the Typical Lot Plan
(Exhibit C-11.1). Setback modifications proposed with the Planned Development are addressed in Section
18.350.060.0 of this report and listed within Table A. Proposed buildings will meet all requirements of the Uniform
Building and Fire Code for detached single-family. A minimum garage setback of 20 feet will be provided where
vehicle access is taken from a public right-of-way. Garage setbacks on the private alley are specified in Table A and
on the Typical Lot Plan in Exhibit C-11.1. The criterion is met.
C.Private outdoor area—Residential use. The private outdoor area requirements of 18.350.070.D.5 shall
only apply to multifamily development.
The proposed development consists of single-family development. Therefore, the private outdoor area requirements
of 18.350.070.D.5 do not apply.
D. Shared outdoor recreation and open space facility areas—Residential use. The shared outdoor
recreation and open space requirements of 18.350.070.D.6 shall only apply to multifamily development.
The proposed development consists of single-family development. Therefore, the shared outdoor recreation and
open space requirements of 18.350.070.D.6 do not apply.
E. Shared Open Space Facilities. The shared open space facility requirements of paragraph
18.350.070.D.13 shall not apply. In lieu of these requirements, the following open space requirements and
development enhancements shall apply. These requirements are intended to provide the community with
added benefits that are consistent with the overall development vision for River Terrace as described in the
River Terrace Community Plan and River Terrace Park System Master Plan Addendum.
1. The development shall provide parks, trails, and/or open space that:
a.Meets a need for neighborhood parks, linear parks, open space, and/or trails that is identified in the
River Terrace Park System Master Plan Addendum with respect to both location and the plan's level of
service standard; and
b. Will be dedicated to the public if the proposal is for a neighborhood park,linear park, or trail.
The proposed development will provide parks, trails, and/or open space that meets a need for neighborhood or linear
parks, open space, and/or trails that is identified in the River Terrace Park System Master Plan Addendum with respect
to both location and the plan's level of service standard. The site is within a 1/2 mile service area for one community
park and partially within a 1/4 mile service area of a preliminary approved neighborhood park to the northwest in "River
Terrace Edge" and will include a neighborhood park near its southwest corner, as identified on the River Terrace Park
System Addendum. The neighborhood park will be partially located within River Terrace Park and partially within
River Terrace Edge. A portion of the neighborhood park will be 0.14 acres of active play area within Tract 0 of River
Terrace Edge,as shown on Plan Sheet L3.01 —Neighborhood Park Plan. This area is directly adjacent to Tract B in
River Terrace Park,which is 0.5 acres in size and will include soft trails through the significant tree grove and next to
the stormwater facility (Tract C),which will also be utilized as a community amenity. Due to onsite natural constraints
(wetlands and significant tree grove areas), the proposed River Terrace Park neighborhood park is designed in
conjunction with River Terrace Edge to provide park amenities such as grass lawn and play space,youth play areas,
plaza space, and concrete pathways. These two areas combined are 0.64 acres in size. These two areas are located next
to open space Tract A (forested wetland and vegetated corridor) and Tract C (storm detention and park with public
trail),which are 2.09 acres and 1.67 acres in size,respectively. All tract areas combined, create 4.4 acres of natural
resource areas and community and park amenities that can be enjoyed by residents through a series of soft surface and
hard surface trails (which ultimately connect to the River Terrace Trail). This criterion is met.
2. The development shall include at least three of the following development enhancements:
a. Trails or paths that augment the public sidewalk system and facilitate access to parks, schools, trails,
open spaces, commercial areas, and similar destinations. Trails and paths shall meet all applicable ADA
standards and be dedicated to the public or placed in a public access easement. Trails and paths in a
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 33 OF 61
public access easement shall be maintained by a homeowner association. Nature trails along or through
natural resource areas or open spaces. Trails through protected natural resource areas must obtain all
necessary approvals and meet all applicable development standards. Trails shall meet all applicable ADA
standards and be dedicated to the public or placed in a public access easement. Trails in a public access
easement shall be maintained by a homeowner association.
b.Trails, paths, or sidewalks that provide direct access to a public park or recreation area that is no further
than one-quarter mile from the development site. Trails and paths shall meet all applicable ADA standards
and be dedicated to the public or placed in a public access easement. Trails and paths in a public access
easement shall be maintained by a homeowner association.
c. Intersection treatments that are acceptable to the City Engineer and that elevate the pedestrian
experience through art, landscaping, signage, enhanced crossings, and/or other similar treatments.
d.High-quality architectural features on attached and detached single-family dwelling units and duplexes
that meet the building design standards in subsection I of this section.
The proposed development will include development enhancements a,b,and c as identified above in this section. The
project includes soft surface nature trails and hardscape trails that augment the public sidewalk system and facilities,
providing access to the parks within the project and in areas adjacent to the project, as well as to the future school site
to the south. The hard surface trails will meet ADA standards to the extent topographically feasible. All trails and
paths will be within tracts that are either dedicated to the public or will have public access easements. Trails and paths
within tracts that are retained by the HOA will also be maintained by the HOA. The proposed trails,paths, and
sidewalks provide direct access to a proposed public neighborhood park northwest of the project in "River Terrace
Edge," the River Terrace Trail along River Terrace Boulevard west of the project in River Terrace East, and a
proposed public neighborhood park within the southwestern portion of the project.
The site is within a '/4 mile service area of a preliminarily approved neighborhood park to the northwest in "River
Terrace Edge," and will include a neighborhood park near its southwest corner, as identified on the River Terrace Park
System Addendum. The neighborhood park will be partially located within River Terrace Park and partially within
River Terrace Edge. A portion of the neighborhood park will be 0.14 acres of active play area within Tract 0 of River
Terrace Edge,as shown on Plan Sheet L3.01 —Neighborhood Park Plan. This area is directly adjacent to Tract B in
River Terrace Park,which is 0.5 acres in size and will include soft trails through the significant tree grove and next to
the stormwater facility (Tract C),which will also be utilized as a community amenity. Due to onsite natural constraints
(wetlands and significant tree grove areas), the proposed River Terrace Park neighborhood park is designed in
conjunction with River Terrace Edge to provide park amenities such as grass lawn and play space,youth play areas,
plaza space, and concrete pathways. These two areas combined are 0.64 acres in size. These two areas are located next
to open space Tract A (forested wetland and vegetated corridor) and Tract C (storm detention and park with public
trail),which are 2.09 acres and 1.67 acres in size,respectively. All tract areas combined, create 4.4 acres of natural
resource areas and community and park amenities that can be enjoyed by residents through a series of soft surface and
hard surface trails (which ultimately connect to the River Terrace Trail), as approved by Clean Water Services SPL
#16-003867.This criterion is met.
3. For those properties abutting Roy Rogers Road or River Terrace Boulevard, one or more of the
following enhancements may be provided in lieu of one or more of the enhancements listed in Subsection
E.2 above:
a. Long-term maintenance plan administered by a homeowner association that is acceptable to the
applicable road authority for any proposed and/or required landscaping in or adjacent to the Roy Rogers
Road or River Terrace Boulevard right-of-way that is not part of a stormwater management facility.
b. High-quality visual and noise buffer along Roy Rogers Road that includes both a vegetative and solid
barrier component outside of the public right-of-way.
c. Park facilities in the River Terrace Trail corridor, including but not limited to benches, picnic tables,
lighting, and/or small playground areas (i.e. tot lots or pocket parks). Provision of such facilities may
allow the applicant to count the trail corridor as a linear park facility, thus contributing to meeting the
city's level of service standards in the River Terrace Park System Master Plan Addendum for both linear
parks and trails. The Public Works Director shall determine whether the proposed facilities elevate the
trail corridor to a linear park facility.
The proposed development does not abut Roy Rogers Road or River Terrace Boulevard. This section is not applicable.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 34 OF 61
F. Open Space Conveyance. The standards of paragraph 18.350.070.D.14 shall apply to the conveyance of
open space in River Terrace. The standards of subsection 18.810.080.B shall not apply.
Open space in the proposed development will comply with the standards of Subsection 18.350.070.D.14, as detailed
in that section of this report.
G. Street Design Standards. The standards of Chapter 18.810 shall apply in addition to the specific
provisions for public skinny streets,private streets, and private alleys in subsections 18.660.080.D and E.
As shown on the Circulation Plan in Exhibits C-9.1, streets in the proposed development meet the standards of
Chapter 18.810 in addition to the specific provisions for public skinny streets in Subsections 18.660.080.D. This
criterion is met.
H. Phased Development. The provision for phased development allowed by Subsection 18.350.030.D.1 is
modified as follows to clarify the total time period allowed for developing a site in phases: Any additional
required land use approvals shall be obtained, e.g. partition or subdivision, and a complete building permit
application(s) for the final proposed phase of development shall be submitted to the city within seven years
of the Detailed Development Plan approval in order to be issued under the original approval.
The proposed development will not be phased. The applicant will implement the Planned Development within the 7-
year approval period or request and extension.
I. Design Standards for Single-Family Dwelling Units and Duplexes. The following design standards
apply only when the applicant chooses to provide them under Subsection 18.660.070.E.2.e or where
otherwise specified in this chapter.
These standards apply to attached and detached single-family dwelling units and duplexes. They are
intended to promote architectural detail, human-scale design, street visibility, and privacy of adjacent
properties, while affording flexibility to use a variety of architectural styles. The graphics provided are
intended to illustrate how development could comply with these standards and should not be interpreted
as requiring a specific architectural style. An architectural feature may be used to comply with more than
one standard.
The applicant has not chosen to apply these standards from subsection 18.660.070.E.2.e. Therefore, the following
standards are not applicable to "River Terrace Park."
18.660.080 Street Design
A. River Terrace Boulevard. The following street design standards apply to River Terrace Boulevard as
shown in Figure 18.660.7 below. The general location of River Terrace Boulevard is shown on Map
18.660.B,which is located at the end of this chapter.
The proposed residential planned development property does not include the River Terrace Boulevard right-of-way.
This section does not apply.
B Street Design— Commercial Collector
Section 18.660.080.B states that the following street design standards apply to the commercial collector as
shown in Figure 18.660.8 below. These standards apply to the collector street located in the community
commercial zone as shown on the city's zoning map. The general location of the commercial collector is
shown on Map 18.660.B,
The commercial collector is not located within the site. This section does not apply.
C. Street Design—Arterial Streets. The following street design standards apply to the arterial streets in the
River Terrace Plan District as shown on Map 18.660.B,which is located at the end of this chapter.
PDR201 6-0001 5/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 35 OF 61
The project does not include an arterial street. This section does not apply.
D.Public Skinny Streets and Private Streets. Development sites that have public street frontage on an
arterial street upon which they cannot take vehicle access shall take access from a private street that meets
city standards or from another public street that, at a minimum, meets the skinny street option as shown
in Figure 18.810.6.B. Private street standards are established by the city engineer pursuant to subsection
18.810.030.T.
Proposed residential lots along these roads will take access from internal public streets that meet the Neighborhood
Route Street Standard (161st Avenue, SW Potomac Road) or the Local Skinny Street Standards (SW Yukon Street,
SW 164th Avenue, SW Swallow Terrace, SW 163rd Avenue, SW 162nd Avenue, SW 162nd Terrace, SW Maybelle
Lane, SW Roslyn Lane, SW Blackstone Lane, SW Hawk Ridge Road) in Figure 18.810.6. The proposed
neighborhood routes are shown as A, A2, and A3 on the Circulation Plan in Exhibit C-9. The proposed skinny
streets are shown as Street Sections B and B2 on the Circulation Plan in Exhibit C-9. The proposed private alley is
shown as Street Section G on the Circulation Plan in Exhibit C-9. The alley will be managed by the HOA and will
include a legal recorded document with a legal description, ownership, use rights and a maintenance agreement. As
described throughout this report, the development is proposed through the Planned Development and on-street
parking standards are met. This criterion is met.
E. Private Alleys. Development sites that have public street frontage on a local street, neighborhood route,
or collector street may choose to provide vehicle access through a private alley provided that the alley
meets all of the standards below and in subsection 18.810.030.R. Adjustments to any of these standards
shall be processed by means of a Type II procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.040, using approval
criteria from paragraph 18.370.020.C.9.
The proposed planned development will provide vehicle access for some lots through an alley located in a tract for
private access purposes and that is a minimum width of 20 feet and will be managed by a homeowner association into
perpetuity. The proposed private alley is shown as street section G on the Circulation Plan in Exhibit C-9. This
criterion is met.
18.660.090 Street Connectivity
A. Street Alignment and Connections. In addition to the exceptions already allowed in subsection
18.810.030.H, the following exceptions shall also apply to development in River Terrace.
1. For development sites located on the side of the River Terrace Boulevard right-of-way with the trail
corridor, an additional exception to the street spacing requirement is allowed and encouraged to minimize
the number of trail crossings, provided that there are bicycle and pedestrian connections in public
easements or rights-of-way a minimum of every 330 feet.
The proposed residential planned development property does not include the River Terrace Boulevard right-of-way.
This section does not apply.
2. For public or private school sites, an additional exception to the street spacing requirement is allowed,
provided that there is adequate internal circulation for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles within and
through the site and a sufficient number and distribution of public access points from the site to public
streets, sidewalks, and trails as determined by the approval authority.
The subject property is not a public or private school site. This exception to street spacing does not apply.
B. Block Perimeter. The perimeter of blocks formed by streets shall not exceed a total of 1,600 feet measured
along the centerline of the streets except where street location is precluded by natural topography,wetlands,
significant habitat areas, bodies of water, pre-existing development, or an arterial or collector street along
which the city has identified a need to minimize the number of intersections.
As shown on the Circulation Plan in Exhibit C-9, the street system of the proposed planned development has been
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 36 OF 61
designed so as to provide adequate internal circulation for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles within and through the
site. The presence of existing development along the north boundary of the site, a wetland to the southwest, as well
as steep grades through the center of the site were factors in the design of the project. The perimeter of blocks
formed by streets in the proposed development does not exceed 1,600 feet measured along the centerline of the
streets, except where connection is restricted due to steep grades.
Block perimeters are shown on the Preliminary Plat in Exhibit C-6.2. A u-shaped block through the center of the
site—bordering SW Potomac Road to the south, 163rd Avenue to the west, and 162nd Terrace to the east—exceeds
the 1,600 feet requirement because of steep grades. This same block borders existing development to the north in
unincorporated Washington County (Arbor Pointe and Meyers Farm),which further constrains the ability for
connections. This criterion is met.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the River Terrace Plan District standards are met, or have been
conditioned to be met.
18.660.100 On-Street Parking
A. Applicability. In addition to the standards in Chapter 18.765 for off-street parking, the following onstreet
parking standards shall also apply to all residential single-family attached, single-family detached, and
duplex development in River Terrace with individual off-street parking and vehicle access on a local street,
neighborhood route, or private street or alley.
B. Quantity Standards. All single-family and duplex development described in subsection A of this section
shall provide the following number of on-street parking spaces:
1. For a dwelling with one off-street parking space, a minimum of two on-street parking spaces shall be
provided.
2. For a dwelling with two off-street parking spaces, a minimum of one on-street parking space shall be
provided.
3. For dwellings with more than two off-street parking spaces, a minimum of one on-street parking space
shall be provided for every two lots with more than two off-street parking spaces that are adjacent to each
other.
The proposed development will provide more than the required number of on-street parking spaces, as shown on
the attached Parking Plan (See Exhibit C-10). 158 off-street parking spaces are required for the project. The
development includes 126 detached single-family units with four off-street parking spaces, which requires one on-
street parking space for every two of these units, totaling 63 required on-street parking spaces. The development
includes 32 alley-load units with two off-street parking spaces that require one on-street parking space for every 1 of
these units, totaling 32 required on-street spaces. Thus, a total of 95 on-street parking spaces are required for the
project. A total of 242 on-street parking spaces are provided as shown on the attached Parking Plan (See Exhibit C-
10) which greatly exceeds the required 91 on-street parking spaces. Although this number may be reduced in order
to comply with the Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue requirement for hydrant spacing. The applicant will be
conditioned to submit a revised parking plan to reflect any changes due to hydrant placement. As conditioned this
standard is met.
C. Dimensional Standards. Parking spaces shall be at least 20 feet in length. Parking spaces may not
utilize street frontage that contains a driveway, driveway apron, crosswalk, congregate mailbox structure,
or fire hydrant to meet the required dimensional standard.
Parking spaces within the proposed development will be at least 20 feet in length and will not utilize street frontage
that contains a driveway, driveway apron, crosswalk, congregate mailbox structure, or fire hydrant to meet the
required dimensional standard, as demonstrated on the attached Parking Plan in Exhibit C-10. This standard is met.
D. Location Standards. Required on-street parking spaces shall be provided within the development site
and along the affected lot's street frontage by parallel parking, except as provided below.
1. All or some of the on-street parking spaces required in paragraphs B.1 through 3 of this section may be
provided on a street frontage not associated with the affected lot provided that the required parking
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 37 OF 61
space(s) is located on the same block and within 200 feet of the affected lot.
2. All or some of the on-street parking spaces required in paragraphs B.1 through 3 of this section may be
provided in parking courts that are interspersed throughout the development when all of the following
standards are met:
a. A parking court shall contain no more than eight parking spaces.
b.A parking court shall be located within 200 feet of the affected lots.
c. Parking courts within the same block and on the same side of the street shall be separated by at least
200 feet of street frontage.
d. A parking court shall be paved and comply with all applicable grading and drainage standards in the
TCDC.
e.A parking court shall have a landscape strip around its perimeter that is at least five feet wide and
contains living ground cover and trees spaced every 15 to 40 feet on center. The ground cover shall include
shrubs of an appropriate height to minimize headlight glare impacts on adjacent residential uses.
f. A parking court shall be illuminated. All lighting shall be shielded and directed away from adjacent
residential uses.
g. A parking court that takes access on a public or private local street or alley may be designed to allow
vehicle turning or backing movements within the street or alley. A parking court that takes access on a
public neighborhood route may be designed to allow vehicle turning or backing movements within the
public right-of-way with the approval of the city engineer.
h.All parking spaces in a parking court shall be clearly marked.
i.A parking court shall be privately owned and maintained by a homeowner association into perpetuity.
For each parking court there shall be a legal recorded document that includes, at a minimum, the
following:
i. A legal description; and
ii. Ownership; and
iii. Use rights, including responsibility for enforcement; and
iv. A maintenance agreement, including an allocation or method of determining liability for a failure to
maintain.
j. No portion of a parking court, including landscaped areas, shall be used to satisfy any requirement for
open space or recreation. Additionally, no paved portion of a parking court shall be used as a
development's stormwater management facility where it would interfere with the use of the court for
parking.
k.A parking court shall be used solely for the parking of operable passenger vehicles.
Parking spaces within the proposed development will meet the location standards of this section, as demonstrated
on the attached Parking Plan (See Exhibits C-10). All on-street parking spaces required in Subsection B.1 — 3 above
are either provided on a street frontage associated with the affected lot or on the same block. These standards are
met.
E.Adjustments. Adjustments to these standards shall be processed by means of a Type II procedure, as
governed by Section 18.390.040, using approval criteria from subparagraph 18.370.020.C.6.a.
The applicant does not propose any adjustments. This standard does not apply.
FINDING: As shown in the analysis above, the on street parking standards are met with the addition of the
following condition of approval.
CONDITION: Prior to final plat approval submit a revised parking plan to reflect any changes due to hydrant
placement per Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue.

18.715 DENSITY COMPUTATIONS
18.715.010 Purpose
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 42 OF 61
The purpose of this chapter is to implement the comprehensive plan by establishing the criteria for
determining the number of dwelling units permitted.
18.715.20 Density Calculation
A. Definition of net development area. Net development area, in acres, shall be determined by
subtracting the following land area(s) from the total site acres:
1. All sensitive land areas:
a. Land within the 100-year floodplain,
b. Land or slopes exceeding 25%,
c. Drainage ways, and
d. Wetlands,
e. Optional: Significant tree groves or habitat areas, as designated on the City of Tigard
"Significant Tree Grove Map" or "Significant Habitat Areas Map";
2. All land dedicated to the public for park purposes;
3. All land dedicated for public rights-of-way. When actual information is not available, the
following formulas may be used:
a. Single-family development: allocate 20% of gross acreage,
b. Multifamily development: allocate 15% of gross acreage or deduct the actual private drive
area;
4. All land proposed for private streets; and
5. A lot of at least the size required by the applicable base zoning district, if an existing dwelling
is to remain on the site.
B. Calculating maximum number of residential units. To calculate the maximum number of
residential units per net acre, divide the number of square feet in the net acres by the minimum
number of square feet required for each lot in the applicable zoning district.
FINDING: The portion of the project site within the R-7 district is approximately 17.84 acres in size. The
minimum lot size is 5,000 square feet within the R-7 district. The portion of the project site within
the R-12 district is approximately 10.66 acres. The minimum lot size is 3,050 square feet within the
R-12 district.
The following tables show the density calculations performed in accordance with Chapter 18.715.
The proposed subdivision includes 158 single-family dwellings. The proposed unit count is within
the permitted density range of 153-191 units. No adjustments or density transfers are requested.
The density computations criteria are met.

C. Certificate of occupancy. Certificates of occupancy shall not be issued unless the requirements of
this chapter have been met or other arrangements have been made and approved by the city such
as the posting of a bond.
The proposed subdivision is subject to a Type III land use review procedure.Therefore, this chapter applies. The
attached preliminary plans (see Exhibits C-L1.01 —C-L1.03, C-L2.01) depict plan information for an Urban Forestry
Plan,including existing trees, proposed tree removal, and proposed street trees. Additionally, an Urban Forestry
Plan Supplemental Report is attached as Exhibit F. Compliance with Chapter 18.790 is addressed in the subsequent
sections of this report.
18.745.40 Street Trees
A. Street trees shall be required as part of the approval process for Conditional Use (Type III),
Downtown Design Review (Type II and III), Minor Land Partition (Type II), Planned
Development (Type III), Site Development Review (Type II) and Subdivision (Type II and III)
permits.
B. The minimum number of required street trees shall be determined by dividing the linear amount of
street frontage within or adjacent to the site (in feet) by 40 feet. When the result is a fraction, the
minimum number of required street trees shall be determined by rounding to the nearest whole
number.
C. Street trees required by this section shall be planted according to the Street Tree Planting
Standards in the Urban Forestry Manual.
D. Street trees required by this section shall be provided adequate soil volumes according to the Street
Tree Soil Volume Standards in the Urban Forestry Manual.
E. Street trees required by this section shall be planted within the right of way whenever practicable
according to the Street Tree Planting Standards in the Urban Forestry Manual. Street trees may be
planted no more than 6 feet from the right of way according to the Street Tree Planting Standards
in the Urban Forestry Manual when planting within the right of way is not practicable.
F. An existing tree may be used to meet the street tree standards provided that:
1. 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;
2. The tree would be permitted as a street tree according to the Street Tree Planting and Soil
Volume Standards in the Urban Forestry Manual if it were newly planted; and
3. The tree is shown as preserved in the Tree Preservation and Removal site plan (per
18.790.O3O.A.2), Tree Canopy Cover site plan (per 18.790.O3O.A.3) and Supplemental Report (per
18.790.O3O.A.4) of a concurrent urban forestry plan and is eligible for credit towards the effective
tree canopy cover of the site.
G. In cases where it is not practicable to provide the minimum number of required street trees, the
Director may allow the applicant to remit payment into the Urban Forestry Fund for tree planting
and early establishment in an amount equivalent to the City's cost to plant and maintain a street
tree for three (3) years (per the Street Tree Planting Standards in the Urban Forestry Manual) for
each tree below the minimum required.
PDR201 6-0001 5/SOB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 44 OF 61
The preliminary landscape plans (Sheets C-L1.01 — C-L1.05)) and Supplemental UFP Report show 301 street trees
are provide, based on linear feet of street frontage divided by 40 feet only 272 trees are required. The applicant shall
submit a plan demonstrating that the soil volume standards are met for street trees and other planted trees in the
Urban Forestry Plan. These criterion are met.
18.745.50 Buffering and Screening
A. General provisions.
1. It is the intent that these requirements shall provide for privacy and protection and reduce or
eliminate the adverse impacts of visual or noise pollution at a development site, without unduly
interfering with the view from neighboring properties or jeopardizing the safety of pedestrians
and vehicles.
2. Buffering and screening is required to reduce the impacts on adjacent uses which are of a
different type in accordance with the matrices in this chapter (Tables 18.745.1 and 18.745.2). The
owner of each proposed development is responsible for the installation and effective
maintenance of buffering and screening. When different uses would be abutting one another
except for separation by a right-of-way, buffering, but not screening, shall be required as
specified in the matrix.
3. In lieu of these standards, a detailed buffer area landscaping and screening plan may be
submitted for the director's approval as an alternative to the buffer area landscaping and
screening standards, provided it affords the same degree of buffering and screening as required
by this code.
The subject property abuts properties to the north and west within the Tigard River Terrace Plan District that have
a zoning designation of either R-7, or R-12. Each of these zones permit single family residential units. Adjacent
properties to the east are within the unincorporated Washington County (Washington County R-6 Land Use
District). The subject site is surrounded by future single-family residential properties and existing neighborhoods
that meet perimeter standards. Therefore,buffering and screening is not required.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the Landscaping and Screening standards are met with the addition of the
following condition of approval.
CONDITION: Prior to any site work, the applicant shall submit soil volume plan to demonstrate the soil
volume standard is met for proposed street trees.
18.765 OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS
18.765.030 General Provisions
18.765.030 General Provisions
A. Vehicle parking plan requirements. No building or other permit shall be issued until scaled plans
are presented and approved as provided by this chapter that show how access, egress and
circulation requirements are to be fulfilled. The applicant shall submit a site plan. The director
shall provide the applicant with detailed information about this submission requirement.
A Parking Plan is provided in Exhibit C-10 that shows proposed parking, access, egress, and circulation. As
previously described, off-street parking will be provided within the driveways and garages of future residential
dwellings. On-street parking will be provided as depicted on the Parking Plan in Exhibit C-10. This standard is met.
B. Location of vehicle parking. The location of off-street parking will be as follows:
1. Off-street parking spaces for single-family and duplex dwellings and single-family attached
dwellings shall be located on the same lot with the dwellings.
Parking for each single family dwelling is proposed on the same lot as the dwelling. This standard is met.
18.765.070 Minimum and Maximum Off-Street Parking Requirements
H. Specific requirements. See Table 18.765.2.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 45 OF 61
No bicycle parking is required for single-family detached dwellings. As shown on the Circulation Plan in Exhibit C-
9, with the provision of parking in driveways and garages more than one off-street space will be provided per
dwelling unit thus meeting the parking standard in table 18.765.2. The development includes 158 single-family
detached units requiring one parking space per unit for a total of 158 required off-street spaces.
The development includes 126 front-loaded detached single-family homes with two car garages and two spaces in
the driveway for a total of 504 off-street parking spaces. It includes 32 single-family detached alley loaded units with
two car garages for a total of 64 provided spaces. This comes to a total of 568 provided off-street parking spaces for
all detached units which greatly exceeds the required 158 off-street parking spaces. This is summarized in the table
on the Parking Plan in Exhibit C-10.
FINDING: As shown in the analysis above, the applicable off street parking requirements are met.
18.775 SENSITIVE LANDS
F. Sensitive lands permits issued by the director.
1. The director shall have the authority to issue a sensitive lands permit in the following areas by means of
a Type II procedure, as governed in Section 18.390.040, using approval criteria contained in Section
18.775.070:

b. Slopes that are 25% or greater or unstable ground; and
c. Wetland areas which are not regulated by other local, state, or federal agencies and are designated as
significant wetlands on the City of Tigard "Wetland and Streams Corridors Map."
The proposed development site is not within the 100-year floodplain or 1996 flood inundation line. As shown on the
Existing Conditions Plan in Exhibit C-2, the site contains a drainage way,vegetated corridor and wetlands which are
not identified as significant on the City of Tigard'Wetland and Streams Corridors Map."The wetland areas on the site
do meet the jurisdictional requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,Division of State Lands, CWS, and/or
other federal, state, or regional agencies. Copies of the Wetland Delineation Reports are included as Exhibit L.
Concurrence Letters issued by the Department of State Lands are included in Exhibit L. A Service Provider Letter has
been issued for the site by CWS and a copy is included as Exhibit E.
The wetlands and drainageway on the site are proposed to be retained within open space tracts to the extent feasible.
Impacts to wetlands are necessary for the proposed development to function while meeting the goals of the River
Terrace Community Plan improvements such as a neighborhood route, a neighborhood park, and a regional water
quality facility. These improvements will result in impacts such as filling multiple wetlands, encroaching into the north
vegetated corridor buffers, and grading and tree removal in the south vegetated corridor buffer. The slopes are shown
on Exhibit C-7.1 and C-7.2. The applicant is requesting a sensitive lands permit from the City for the drainage way
(vegetated corridor),wetland areas, and steep slopes of 25 percent or greater on the site.
2. Sensitive lands permits shall be required for the areas in paragraph 1 of this subsection F when any of
the following circumstances apply:
a. Ground disturbance(s) or land form alterations involving more than 50 cubic yards of material;
b. Repair, reconstruction, or improvement of an existing structure or utility, the cost of which equals or
exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure prior to the improvement or the damage requiring
reconstruction;
c. Residential and nonresidential structures intended for human habitation; and
d.Accessory structures which are greater than 528 square feet in size, outside floodway areas.
A sensitive lands permit is required for the proposed vegetated corridor and steep slope impacts,which will involve
more than 50 cubic yards of material. The sensitive lands review requested with this application is subject to the
Type II procedure, as governed in Section 18.390.040, using approval criteria contained in Section 18.775.070, but is
submitted concurrent with the Type III Planned Development.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 46 OF 61
18.775.030 Administrative Provisions
A. Interagency coordination. The appropriate approval authority shall review all sensitive lands permit
applications to determine that all necessary permits shall be obtained from those federal, state, or local
governmental agencies from which prior approval is also required.
As governed by CWS "Design and Construction Standards," the necessary permits for all "development,"
as defined in Section 18.775.O2O.A, shall include a CWS service provider letter, which specifies the
conditions and requirements necessary, if any, for an applicant to comply with CWS water quality
protection standards and for the agency to issue a stormwater connection permit.
The applicant has obtained a CWS service provider letter for the proposed development (see Exhibit E). The
applicant acknowledges that the appropriate approval authority shall review all sensitive lands permit applications to
determine that all necessary permits shall be obtained from those federal, state, or local governmental agencies from
which prior approval is also required. Copies of all necessary permits will be submitted to the City. This provision is
met.
B. Alteration or relocation of water course.
1. The director shall notify communities adjacent to the affected area and the State Department of Land
Conservation and Development prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse, and submit evidence
of such notification to the Federal Insurance Administration;
2. The director shall require that maintenance is provided within the altered or relocated portion of a
watercourse so that the flood-carrying capacity is not diminished.
The proposed development does not alter the water course of the stream through the middle portion of the
property. This standard does not apply.
C. Apply standards. The appropriate approval authority shall apply the standards set forth in Sections
18.775.040 and 18.775.070 when reviewing an application for a sensitive lands permit.
18.775.070 Sensitive Land Permits
A. Permits required. An applicant, who wishes to develop within a sensitive area, as defined in Chapter
18.775, must obtain a permit in certain situations. Depending on the nature and intensity of the proposed
activity within a sensitive area, either a Type II or Type III permit is required, as delineated in 18.775.O2O.F
and G. The approval criteria for various kinds of sensitive areas, e.g., floodplain, are presented in
subsections B through E of this section.
C. With steep slopes. The appropriate approval authority shall approve, approve with conditions or deny
an application request for a sensitive lands permit on slopes of 25% or greater or unstable ground based
upon findings that all of the following criteria have been satisfied:
1. Compliance with all of the applicable requirements of this title;
The narrative demonstrates that the project complies with the applicable code sections.
2. The extent and nature of the proposed land form alteration or development will not create site
disturbances to an extent greater than that required for the use;
The site is proposed to be graded so that blocks step down from east to west and north to south in areas of steeper
slopes, where some homes will be designed to be split level to minimize impacts to the site's natural topography.
This occurs through the center of the site with a u-shaped block that abuts SW 163rd Avenue to the west, SW
Potomac Road to the south, and SW 162nd Terrace to the east. By conforming to the slope, the development will
not create site disturbances to an extent greater than that required for the use. This criterion is met.
3. The proposed land form alteration or development will not result in erosion, stream sedimentation,
ground instability, or other adverse on-site and off-site effects or hazards to life or property;
The inclusion of plantings on areas of steep slopes stabilize the slopes and minimize erosion. The plantings will
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 47 OF 61
reduce stream sedimentation by reducing erosion. No impacts are proposed in high slope areas. Therefore, the
project will not result in adverse effects on or off-site or hazards to life or property. This criterion is met.
4. The structures are appropriately sited and designed to ensure structural stability and proper drainage of
foundation and crawl space areas for development with any of the following soil conditions: wet/high
water table; high shrink-swell capability; compressible/organic; and shallow depth-to-bedrock; and
All structures on site will be appropriately sited and designed to ensure structural stability and proper drainage of
foundation and crawl space areas for development; however, no structures are proposed within the steeply sloped
areas. This criterion is met.
5. Where natural vegetation has been removed due to land form alteration or development, the areas not
covered by structures or impervious surfaces will be replanted to prevent erosion in accordance with
Chapter 18.745, Landscaping and Screening.
Areas where natural vegetation has been removed due to land form alteration or development will be replanted in
an open space tract with trees and other plants to prevent erosion in accordance with Chapter 18.745, Landscaping
and Screening. This criterion is met.
D. Within drainageways. The appropriate approval authority shall approve, approve with conditions or
deny an application request for a sensitive lands permit within drainageways based upon findings that all
of the following criteria have been satisfied:
1. Compliance with all of the applicable requirements of this title;
The applicant is requesting a Type II sensitive lands permit for the drainage way (vegetated corridor impacts) and
steep slopes on the proposed development site. This narrative and compliance report demonstrates compliance with
all of the applicable requirements of this title.. This criterion is met.
2. The extent and nature of the proposed land form alteration or development will not create site
disturbances to an extent greater than that required for the use;
The River Terrace Community Plan requires a neighborhood route connection in an area that contains the drainage
way and wetlands. The previously approved development, River Terrace Edge, abuts the subject site and determines
the location of the neighborhood route connection on the western boundary. In order to align with this required
route, the proposed River Terrace Park development necessitates vegetated corridor impacts.
The proposed design minimizes disruption to the drainage channel by constructing the regional detention facility
east of Wetland B. This allows the development to minimize mass grading and tree removal in the vegetated
corridor areas. The proposed development includes the provision of open space and neighborhood park tracts
along the southwestern edge of the site to integrate the drainageways, wetlands, and vegetated corridors into the
design of the open space area. Therefore, the extent and nature of the proposed land form alteration or
development will not create site disturbances to an extent greater than that required for the use. This criterion is
met.
3. The proposed land form alteration or development will not result in erosion, stream sedimentation,
ground instability, or other adverse on-site and off-site effects or hazards to life or property;
The proposed land form alteration and development will not result in erosion, stream sedimentation, ground
instability, or other adverse on-site and off-site effects or hazards to life or property because erosion control
measures are proposed and revegetation will occur to stabilize slopes and minimize erosion as shown on the
Mitigation Planting Plan Sheet L4.O1. Proposed vegetated corridor impacts have been approved by Clean Water
Services and the vegetated corridor will be enhanced and mitigation areas will be planted as described in CWS SP
#19-003867. Proposed impacts minimize disruption to the drainage channel by limiting impacts to the
neighborhood route on the northern edge of the drainageway and the stormwater facility which will also serve to
minimize impacts by regulating release of stormwater and providing treatment. The proposed development
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 48 OF 61
includes the provision of open space tracts and parks in the southwestern corner of the site to integrate the
drainageway, wetlands and vegetated corridors into the design of the open space and park areas. Therefore, the
proposed land form alteration or development will not result in erosion, stream sedimentation, ground instability, or
other adverse on-site and off-site effects or hazards to life or property. This criterion is met.
4. The water flow capacity of the drainageway is not decreased;
The water flow capacity of the drainageway will not be decreased as a result of the proposed vegetated corridor
impacts as they do not affect the identifiable channel of the 25-year storm flow. This criterion is met.
5. Where natural vegetation has been removed due to land form alteration or development, the areas not
covered by structures or impervious surfaces will be replanted to prevent erosion in accordance with
Chapter 18.745, Landscaping and Screening;
Where natural vegetation is removed for proposed impacts, the areas not covered by structures or impervious
surfaces will be replanted to prevent erosion in accordance with Chapter 18.745, Landscaping and Screening, as
shown on the Landscape Plans (Sheet C-L1.01 —L5.02.). This criterion is met.
6. The drainageway will be replaced by a public facility of adequate size to accommodate maximum flow
in accordance with the adopted 1981 Master Drainage Plan;
A public facility of adequate size to accommodate maximum flow in accordance with the adopted 1981 Master
Drainage Plan, as documented in the Preliminary Storm Report Memo attached in Application Exhibit H, will be
provided as part of the proposed development. This criterion is met.
7. The necessary U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and State of Oregon Land Board, Division of State Lands,
and CWS approvals shall be obtained;
The applicant has obtained a CWS Service Provider Letter for the proposed development (see Exhibit E). Wetland
impacts are proposed in order to meet project goals and requirements such as a neighborhood route, a
neighborhood park, and a regional water quantity facility. The impacts (Exhibit C-L4.01) involve filling Wetlands A
and D, encroachments into the north buffer of Wetlands B and C, and grading/tree removal in the south buffer of
Wetlands B and C. Copies of the permits will be provided to the city when available. This criterion is met.
8. Where land form alterations and/or development are allowed within and adjacent to the 100-year
floodplain, the city shall require the consideration of dedication of sufficient open land area within and
adjacent to the floodplain in accordance with the comprehensive plan. This area shall include portions of a
suitable elevation for the construction of a pedestrian/bicycle pathway within the floodplain in accordance
with the adopted pedestrian bicycle pathway plan.
The subject site is not within or adjacent to the 100-year floodplain. This subsection is not applicable.
FINDING: As shown in the findings above, all of the criteria for the proposed development within the steep
slopes and drainageways are met.
18.785 TEMPORARY USE
C. Temporary sales office or model home. By means of a Type I procedure, as governed by Section
18.390.030, the director may approve, approve with conditions or deny the use of any real property within
the city as a temporary sales office, offices for the purpose of facilitating the sale of real property, or model
home in any subdivision or tract of land within this city, but for no other purpose, provided the following
criteria are satisfied:
1. Temporary sales office.
a. The temporary sales office shall be located within the boundaries of the subdivision or tract of land in
which the real property is to be sold; and
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 49 OF 61
b. The property to be used for a temporary sales office shall not be permanently improved for that purpose.
As described in the applicant's narrative and shown in the plans (Plan Sheet 11.2), the proposed development
includes one temporary sales office which is located within the boundaries of the subdivision and would not be
permanently improved for that purpose. This criterion is met.
2. Model house.
a. The model house shall be located within the boundaries of the subdivision or tract of land where the
real property to be sold is situated; and
b. The property to be used for a model house shall be a permanently designed dwelling structure.
As described in the applicant's narrative and shown in the plans (Plan Sheet 11.2), the proposed development
includes seven model homes,which are located within the boundaries of the subdivision and would be permanently
improved for that purpose. This criterion is met.
FINDING: The proposed development includes four model homes and one temporary sales office (Plan Sheet
11.2), as described in the Model Homes and Temporary Sales Office section of the River Terrace Plan
District (18.660.110), above. Accordingly, the proposal and approval shall be processed in accordance
with Section 18.785.030, meet the approval criteria in subsection 18.785.040.C, and comply with the
provisions in section 18.660.110. As reviewed above, the proposed model homes and sales office have
been conditioned to ensure that the public's health, safety, and welfare are protected.Thsi criterion is
met.
18.790 URBAN FORESTRY PLAN
Urban Forestry Plan Requirements
A. Urban forestry plan requirements.An urban forestry plan shall:
1. Be coordinated and approved by a landscape architect (the project landscape architect) or a
person that is both a certified arborist and tree risk assessor (the project arborist), except for
minor land partitions that can demonstrate compliance with effective tree canopy cover and soil
volume requirements by planting street trees in open soil volumes only;
2. Meet the tree preservation and removal site plan standards in the Urban Forestry Manual (UFM);
3. Meet the tree canopy site plan standards in the Urban Forestry Manual; and
4. Meet the supplemental report standards in the Urban Forestry Manual.

Plan Supplemental Report (see Exhibit F), which has been prepared by a landscape architect, Karen Lankford in
accordance with the Urban Forestry Manual. As conditioned the urban forestry plan requirements are met.
B. Tree canopy fee. If the supplemental report demonstrates that the applicable standard percent
effective tree canopy cover will not be provided through any combination of tree planting or
preservation for the overall development site (excluding streets) or that the 15% effective tree
canopy cover will not be provided through any combination of tree planting or preservation for any
individual lot or tract in the R-1, R-2, R-3.5, R-4.5 and R-7 districts (when the overall development
site meets or exceeds the standard percent effective tree canopy cover), then the applicant shall
provide the city a tree canopy fee according to the methodology outlined in the tree canopy fee
calculation requirements in the Urban Forestry Manual.
The Urban Forestry Plan Supplemental Report (see Exhibit F) demonstrates that the project will comply with the
required tree canopy cover through the proposed street tree planting. Thus, a tree canopy fee is not required.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the urban forestry plan requirements are met or are conditioned to be
met.
18.790.060 Urban Forestry Plan Implementation

structure or temporary or permanent obstruction (except for an occasional utility pole or tree),
exceeding three feet in height, measured from the top of the curb, or where no curb exists, from the
street center line grade, except that trees exceeding this height may be located in this area,
provided all branches below eight feet are removed.
FINDING: Sight distance is discussed on the applicant's Development Plan (Sheet 11.1).An exception to
the vision clearance areas is requested for all the intersections onsite per 1 8.350.070.C.7.
Adequate sight distance can be met as demonstrated in the Site Plan (see Exhibit C-11). Prior
to final plat visual clearance areas will be meet. This standard is met as conditioned.
CONDITION: Prior to commencing site improvements,the Applicant shall submit a preliminary certification of
adequate sight distance for each public street intersection created with this development,
prepared and stamped by a registered professional engineer,as well as a detailed list of
improvements necessary to obtain adequate intersection sight distance.
18.810 STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS STANDARDS:
Chapter 18.810 provides construction standards for the implementation of public and private facilities and
utilities such as streets, sewers, and drainage. The applicable standards are addressed below:
18.810.030.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 title are constructed adjacent to the
development.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 51 OF 61
18.810.030.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 downtown 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 presented in Table 18.810.1.
The site is adjacent River Terrace Edge,which previously received land use approval. The River Terrace
Transportation System Plan shows an east-west collector on the Edge development. This street is shown to extend
east, across the proposed River Terrace Park development, as a Neighborhood Route with bike lanes. The applicant's
plans show SW Potomac Road meeting the Neighborhood Route standards from the west property boundary to the
proposed SW 162nd Avenue location. From this point to the east boundary, the applicant has proposed a larger
Neighborhood Route right-of-way, accommodating bike lanes and parking on one side. This wider cross section is
approved.
A second Neighborhood Route, the extension of the existing SW 161"Avenue from the Meyers Farms development,
is proposed. This section will provide for bike lanes,but no parking. The full section will be constructed from the
north property boundary to a point south of SW Maybelle Lane. From this point to the south boundary line the
applicant has proposed construction of a half-street section.
The Applicant requests use of the residential local skinny street option for SW Yukon Street, SW 164th Avenue, SW
Swallow Terrace, SW 163rd Avenue, SW 162nd Avenue, SW 162nd Terrace, SW Maybelle Lane, SW Roslyn Lane, SW
Blackstone Lane, and SW Hawk Ridge Road. The Traffic Analysis anticipates less than 1000 vehicles per day (VPD) on
the subject local streets. The Applicant proposes the skinny street option that provides a 50-foot ROW and 28 foot
paved section,in accordance with 18.810.4.B, for streets with less than 1000 vehicle trips per day (vpd). This skinny
street section allows for parking on both sides of the street. A traffic flow plan has been submitted. The skinny street
criteria have been met.
The applicant will construct the north half of SW Hawk Ridge Road, as a local residential street, as shown in TDC
Figure 18.810.4.B. These criterion are met.
18.810.030.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 Applicant has provided a Future Street Plan,with profiles, showing the extension of SW Hawk Ridge Road, SW
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 52 OF 61
Yukon Street, SW Potomac (west) Street, SW Potomac (east), SW Blackstone Lane, SW Roslyn Lane, SW 163rd
Avenue (north), SW 163rd Avenue (south), SW 162nd Avenue, SW 161st Avenue (south) and planned future streets
adjacent to and around the development. This criterion is met.
18.810.030.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% 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.
The proposed street plans in the development meet the spacing standard of no more than 530 feet between
connections, except where connection is restricted due to steep grades and existing development patterns to the
north in unincorporated Washington County (Arbor Pointe and Meyers Farm) and to the west in the approved
River Terrace Edge subdivision. Applicant has shown that the constraints preclude additional street connections.
This criterion for connection and through circulation is met.
18.810.030.N Grades and Curves
1. Grades shall not exceed 10% on arterials, 12% on collector streets, or 12% on any other street (except that
local or residential access streets may have segments with grades up to 15% for distances of no greater
than 250 feet); and
2. Centerline radii of curves shall be as determined by the city engineer.
The Applicant states that the proposed local streets meet this standard. However, the applicant did not provide
profiles for all of the streets for review. The applicant shall submit profiles of all streets with their PFI permit
application. This criterion is met.
18.810.030.Q Access to Arterials and Major 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;
3. Screen planting at the rear or side property line to be contained in a non-access 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 two streets with different classifications, primary access should be from the lower
classification street.
The site is not adjacent to and does not include any arterials or collector streets. This criterion is met.
18.810.030.R Alleys, Public or Private
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 53 OF 61
1. Alleys shall be no less than 20 feet in width. In commercial and industrial districts, alleys shall be
provided unless other permanent provisions for access to off-street parking and loading facilities are
made.
2. While alley intersections and sharp changes in alignment shall be avoided, the corners of necessary alley
intersections shall have a radius of not less than 12 feet.
The proposed development includes an alley, 20 feet wide. The applicant states the development does not include
intersections or sharp changes in alignment. However, the alley does intersect SW 161st Avenue on the east end
and SW 162nd Avenue on the west end. The applicant shall revise their plans to provide adequate radius at the
ends of the alleys or provide documentation that turning movements can be made. This criterion is met.
Section 18.810.030.T Private Streets
1. Design standards for private streets shall be established by the city engineer; and
2. The city shall require legal assurances for the continued maintenance of private streets, such as a
recorded maintenance agreement.
3. Private streets serving more than six dwelling units are permitted only within planned developments,
mobile home parks, and multi-family residential developments.
The subject site does not include private streets. This subsection is not applicable.
18.810.040 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 right-of-ways shall be provided when
full street connection is exempted by paragraph 1 of this subsection B. 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. (Ord.
06-20; Ord. 02-33).
The proposed development is located within the River Terrace Plan District area, and is thus subject to the minimum
block perimeter standard of 1,600 feet identified in section 18.660.080. As discussed in section 18.660.080 of this
report, the length, width, and shape of blocks has been designed to provide adequate building sites for single-family
residential dwellings and convenient access, circulation, and control and safety of street traffic. The existence of steep
grades through the center and an existing wetland to the southwest were factors in the design of the project. The
perimeter of blocks formed by streets in the proposed development does not exceed 1,600 feet measured along the
centerline of the streets, except where connection is restricted due to natural area and grading restrictions and existing
development patterns. One large block in the center of the site encounters grades greater than 25 percent and a 35-foot
change in elevation. This u-shaped block—bordering SW Potomac Road to the south, 163rd Avenue to the west, and
162nd Terrace to the east— exceeds the 1,600 feet requirement because of steep grades. The applicant is proposing
pedestrian stair connections in the southwest corner of the site, as shown in the Circulation Plan (see Exhibit C-9).
One block in the southeastern portion of the site bordering SW Potomac Road to the north, and SW Hawk Ridge
Road to the south— was designed to be 555 feet long on the south edge (which is above the required 530 feet
maximum spacing between street connections), but 525 feet long on the north edge and still below the 1,600 minimum
block perimeter standard as a whole. Exceeding the requirement on only one side of the block, the applicant is
proposing a bicycle and pedestrian connection (see Exhibit C-9). These criterion are met.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 54 OF 61
18.810.060 Lots
B. Lot frontage. Each lot shall abut upon a public or private street, other than an alley, for a width of at least
25 feet unless the lot is created through a minor land partition in which case 18.162.O5O.0 applies, or
unless the lot is for an attached single-family dwelling unit, in which case the lot frontage shall be at least
15 feet.
As shown on the Preliminary Plat, each lot meets the minimum 25 feet of lot frontage requirement. This standard is
met.
18.810.070 Sidewalks
A. Sidewalks.
All industrial streets and private streets shall have sidewalks meeting city standards along at least one side
of the street. All other streets shall have sidewalks meeting city standards along both sides of the 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.
C. Planter strip requirements.
A planter strip separation of at least five 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 18.810.1 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.
The Applicant's plans indicate they will be installing full sidewalk improvements with this development along both
sides of the internal public streets. This criterion is met.
18.810.090 Sanitary Sewers
A. Sewers Required
Sanitary sewers shall be installed to serve each new development and to connect developments to existing
mains in accordance with the provisions set forth in Design and Construction Standards for Sanitary and
Surface Water Management (as adopted by the Unified Sewerage Agency in 1996 and including any future
revisions or amendments) and the adopted policies of the comprehensive plan.
The Applicant's plans indicate the construction of an 8-inch sewer main throughout the proposed public street system,
draining west to the proposed South Pump Station,which is tentatively shown in River Terrace Edge.
The Applicant shall demonstrate that the CWS south pump station will have sufficient capacity for the development
prior to PFI.
The Applicant must connect to adequate and operational public sewer facilities prior to issuance of building permits.
As conditioned this criterion is met.
18.810.100 Storm Drainage
A. General Provisions
The director and city engineer shall issue a development permit only where adequate provisions for
stormwater and floodwater runoff have been made, and:
3. The storm water drainage system shall be separate and independent of any sanitary sewerage system;
4. Where possible, inlets shall be provided so surface water is not carried across any intersection or
allowed to flood any street; and
5. Surface water drainage patterns shall be shown on every development proposal plan.
The River Terrace Community Plan addresses stormwater management and the need to protect the quality of the
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 55 OF 61
community's water supply, the built environment from flood damage during large storm events, and the health and
function of stream corridors for habitat and recreation. A River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan was developed to
address the following goals:
• Restore/enhance vegetated corridors
• Protect water quality
• Preserve existing hydrology
• Promote safe and long-lasting stormwater facilities
• Balance the use of regional and on-site stormwater management
• Preserve existing mature vegetation
• Maximize use of multi-benefit facilities to create community amenities
• Promote partnership with other public service providers
Stormwater management infrastructure is needed to protect the water quality of downstream natural resource areas, the
downstream receiving waters from increased rates of erosion caused by additional water quantity, and the built
environment from flood damage during large storm events. River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan has identified
Strategy Areas A,B and C,with varying water quality and water quantity treatment tools.
The proposed 31-acre River Terrace Park development is located primarily in Strategy Area B and flows to Tributary 5,
as identified in the River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan.
The recommended strategy for developments located in Area B is street, site, and neighborhood scale low impact
development approaches as shown in Table 2.1 of Section 2 the Stormwater Management Strategy of the River Terrace
Stormwater Master Plan.
The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Stormwater Report for this project,prepared by Pacific Community Design,
dated December 5,2016. The applicant states that the northwest portion of the site cannot physically drain to the
proposed pond and will therefore be piped to the pond being constructed with the River Terrace Edge development.
Both water quality and quantity for the runoff from this portion of the site will be addressed on River Terrace Edge.
The remainder of the site will be directed to an on-site pond that will provide both water quality and quantity for
runoff. This criterion is met.
C. Accommodation of Upstream Drainage
A culvert or other drainage facility shall be large enough to accommodate potential runoff from its entire
upstream drainage area, whether inside or outside the development, and the city engineer shall approve
the necessary size of the facility, based on the provisions of the current Clean Water Services Design and
Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface Water Management.
The applicant states that the stormwater drainage system has been designed to accommodate potential runoff from
the upstream drainage area.
D. Effect on Downstream Drainage
Where it is anticipated by the city engineer that the additional runoff resulting from the development will
overload an existing drainage facility, the director and engineer shall withhold approval of the
development until provisions have been made for improvement of the potential condition or until
provisions have been made for storage of additional runoff caused by the development in accordance with
the current Clean Water Services Design and Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface Water
The Applicant has submitted a preliminary Water Quality & Detention Analysis, dated December 5, 2016. The
proposed project is approximately 31 acres and will be developed to provide 158 single-family homes. The applicant
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 56 OF 61
has proposed an on-site facility for stormwater using the Tualatin River Urban Stormwater Tool (TRUST) to model
both a flood flow frequency analysis and a flow duration analysis for this project.
A final stormwater report shall be submitted with the Applicant's City of Tigard PFI Permit application. The
quality/quantity facility shall be reviewed and approved by the city's design group prior to issuance of permits.
18.810.110 Bikeways and Pedestrian Pathways
C. Minimum width.
1. The minimum width for bikeways within the roadway is five feet per bicycle travel lane.
2. The minimum width for multi-use paths separated from the road and classified as regional or
community trails in the Greenway Trail System Master Plan is 10 feet. The width may be reduced to
eight feet if there are environmental or other constraints.
3. The minimum width for off-street paths classified as neighborhood trails, according to the Greenway
Trail System Master Plan, is three feet.
4. Design standards for bike and pedestrian-ways shall be determined by the city engineer. (Ord. 12-13
§1; Ord. 11-04 §2; Ord. 09-09 §3; Ord. 02-33; Ord. 99-22)
Two proposed neighborhood routes will run through the site, and are to include bike lanes as shown on the Circulation
Plan in Exhibit C-9.1 and C-9.2. There are no additional adjoining proposed bikeways identified on the city's adopted
pedestrian/bikeway plan. This requirement is met.
18.810.120 Utilities
A. Underground utilities. All utility lines including, but not limited to those required for electric,
communication, lighting and cable television services and related facilities shall be placed underground,
except for surface mounted transformers, surface mounted connection boxes and meter cabinets which
may be placed above ground, temporary utility service facilities during construction, high capacity
electric lines operating at 50,000 volts or above, and:
1. The developer shall make all necessary arrangements with the serving utility to provide the
underground services;
2. The city reserves the right to approve location of all surface mounted facilities;
3. All underground utilities, including sanitary sewers and storm drains installed in streets by the
developer, shall be constructed prior to the surfacing of the streets; and
4. Stubs for service connections shall be long enough to avoid disturbing the street improvements when
service connections are made.
B. Information on development plans. The applicant for a development shall show on the development plan
or in the explanatory information, easements for all underground utility facilities, and:
1. Plans showing the location of all underground facilities as described herein shall be submitted to the
city engineer for review and approval; and
2. Care shall be taken in all cases to ensure that above ground equipment does not obstruct vision
clearance areas for vehicular traffic.
C. Exception to undergrounding requirement.
1. The developer shall pay a fee in-lieu of undergrounding costs when the development is proposed to
take place on a street where existing utilities which are not underground will serve the development
and the approval authority determines that the cost and technical difficulty of under-grounding the
utilities outweighs the benefit of undergrounding in conjunction with the development. The
determination shall be on a case-by-case basis. The most common, but not the only, such situation is
a short frontage development for which undergrounding would result in the placement of additional
poles, rather than the removal of above-ground utilities facilities.
2. An applicant for a development which is served by utilities which are not underground and which are
located across a public right-of-way from the applicant's property shall pay the fee in-lieu of
undergrounding.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 57 OF 61
3. Properties within the CBD zoning district shall be exempt from the requirements for undergrounding
of utility lines and from the fee in-lieu of undergrounding.
4. The exceptions in paragraphs 1 through 3 of this subsection C shall apply only to existing utility lines.
All new utility lines shall be placed underground.
D. Fee in-lieu of undergrounding.
1. The city engineer shall establish utility service areas in the city. All development which occurs within
a utility service area shall pay a fee in-lieu of undergrounding for utilities if the development does not
provide underground utilities, unless exempted by this code.
2. The city engineer shall establish the fee by utility service area which shall be determined based upon
the estimated cost to underground utilities within each service area. The total estimated cost for
undergrounding in a service area shall be allocated on a front-foot basis to each party within the
service area. The fee due from any developer shall be calculated based on a front-foot basis.
3. A developer shall receive a credit against the fee for costs incurred in the undergrounding of existing
overhead utilities. The city engineer shall determine the amount of the credit, after review of cost
information submitted by the applicant with the request for credit.
4. The funds collected in each service area shall be used for undergrounding utilities within the city at
large. The city engineer shall prepare and maintain a list of proposed undergrounding projects which
may be funded with the fees collected by the city. The list shall indicate the estimated timing and cost
of each project. The list shall be submitted to the city council for their review and approval annually.
The Applicant states that all utility lines, as stated in the above standard, shall be placed underground in the proposed
development This criterion is met.
SECTION VII. ADDITIONAL CITY AND/OR AGENCY COMMENTS STREET AND UTILITY
IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS:
Traffic Study Findings:
Washington County Department of Land Use and Transportation (LUT) staff provided comments and conditions in a
letter dated February 14, 2017.
The Applicant shall comply with the recommended conditions by Washington County LUT, dated February 14, 2017.
The Applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Study prepared by Kittelson&Associates, dated September 30, 2016.
The proposed River Terrace Park development,located on the east side of River Terrace Edge,will provide 158 single
family homes.
The Applicant shall comply with the recommendations of Kittelson's Traffic Impact Study,page 5.
Preliminary Intersection sight distance shall be provided at all local street intersections created as part of the
neighborhood prior to issuance of permits. Final Intersection sight distance shall be provided at all local street
intersections created as part of the neighborhood prior to issuance of building permits.
Public Water System:
The City's Water System Hydraulic Study has indicated that this site falls within the 550-foot pressure zone. The
Applicant shall connect to the proposed water system in SW 161St Avenue (8-inch) and SW 164 Avenue (16-inch).
The Applicant shall extend the 16-inch line in SW 164th Avenue south to Potomac Road, then east and west, to the
property boundaries. The Applicant shall further extend the 16-inch line south in SW 161St Avenue, from SW
Potomac to the south property boundary. The Applicant may apply for credit for upsizing the line from 12-inch to 16-
inch.
The Applicant shall extend the 18-inch, 410 line from River Terrace Edge subdivision to Parcel 2, for future water
reservoir. The Applicant may apply for credit for upsizing the line.
The Applicant will be required to provide written approval from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue for fire flow, hydrant
placement and access prior to issuance of the City of Tigard's site permit.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 58 OF 61
Storm Water Quality:
The City has agreed to enforce Surface Water Management (SWM) regulations established by Clean Water
Services (CWS) Design and Construction Standards (adopted by Resolution and Order No. 07-20) which
require the construction of on-site water quality facilities. The facilities shall be designed to remove 65
percent of the phosphorus contained in 100 percent of the storm water runoff generated from newly created
impervious surfaces. In addition, a maintenance plan shall be submitted indicating the frequency and
method to be used in keeping the facility maintained through the year.
The River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan identifies the proposed development as primarily being located in Strategy
Area B. The plan recommends street, site and neighborhood scale low impact development approaches for water
quality.
The Applicant has a preliminary Water Quality&Detention Analysis, dated December 5, 2016. The proposed project
is approximately 31 acres and will be developed to provide 158 single-family lots. The water quality treatment for the
site will be provided by constructing a water quality swale located in the pond. The swale is proposed to be
constructed in the southerly portion of the proposed pond, outside of the existing wetland and buffer, at an elevation
above the frequent storage elevation (10% duration).
Grading and Erosion Control:
CWS Design and Construction Standards also regulate erosion control to reduce the amount of sediment and
other pollutants reaching the public storm and surface water system resulting from development,
construction, grading, excavating, clearing, and any other activity which accelerates erosion. Per CWS
regulations, the applicant is required to submit an erosion control plan for City review and approval prior to
issuance of City permits.
The Federal Clean Water Act requires that a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) erosion
control permit be issued for any development that will disturb one or more acre of land. Since this site is over five
acres, the developer will be required to obtain an NPDES permit from the City prior to construction. This permit will
be issued along with the site and/or building permit.
A final grading plan shall be submitted showing the existing and proposed contours. The plan shall detail the
provisions for surface drainage of all lots, and show that they will be graded to ensure that surface drainage is directed
to the street or a public storm drainage system approved by the Engineering Department. For situations where the
back portions of lots drain away from a street and toward adjacent lots, appropriate private storm drainage lines shall
be provided to sufficiently contain and convey runoff from each lot.
The Applicant will also be required to provide a geotechnical report,per Appendix J of the Oregon Specialty Structural
Code, for the proposed grading slope construction. A Report of Geotechnical Engineering Services for Bull Mountain
development was prepared by GeoDesign, dated December 2, 2016. Recommendations for site preparation,
construction and inspection have been provided in the report.
The recommendations in the December 2,2016 report prepared by GeoDesign shall be incorporated into the final
grading plan and a final construction supervision report must be filed with the Engineering Department prior to
issuance of building permits.
The design engineer shall also indicate, on the grading plan,which lots will have natural slopes between 10 percent and
20 percent, as well as lots that will have natural slopes in excess of 20 percent. This information will be necessary in
determining if special grading inspections and/or permits will be necessary when the lots develop.
The Applicant shall obtain a (CWS) Stormwater Connection Permit Authorization prior to issuance of the City of
Tigard PFI permit. The site is over five acres in size, therefore an NPDES 1200-C permit is required.
PDR2016-00015/SUB2016-00012-RIVER TERRACE PARK PD PAGE 59 OF 61
Address Assignments:
The City of Tigard is responsible for assigning addresses for parcels within the City of Tigard. An addressing fee in the
amount of$50.00 per address shall be assessed. This fee shall be paid to the City prior to approval of the final plat.
For this project, the addressing fee will be $8,450.00 (158 lots + 11 tracts) x($50/address) = $8,450.00).
Survey Requirements
The applicant's final plat shall contain State Plane Coordinates [NAD 83 (91)] on two monuments with a tie to the
City's global positioning system (GPS) geodetic control network (GC 22). These monuments shall be on the same line
and shall be of the same precision as required for the subdivision plat boundary. Along with the coordinates, the plat
shall contain the scale factor to convert ground measurements to grid measurements and the angle from north to grid
north. These coordinates can be established by:
• GPS tie networked to the City's GPS survey.
• By random traverse using conventional surveying methods.
In addition, the applicant's as-built drawings shall be tied to the GPS network. The applicant's engineer shall provide
the City with an electronic file with points for each structure (manholes, catch basins, water valves, hydrants and other
water system features) in the development, and their respective X and Y State Plane Coordinates, referenced to NAD
83 (91).
Include Acrobat(***.pdf) file and one 11x17 copy of as-builts.
The Developer's Engineer(or"Engineer"in a CIP doc) shall provide the City of Tigard with coordinates on the Critical
Assets shown on the table below. The coordinates should be based on NAD 83(91) State Plane Coordinates Zone 3601
Oregon North. An electronic copy of an Excel spreadsheet or database file shall be provided with the following
fields: "Feature";"Type";"XCOORD";"YCOORD";"ZCOORD".

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
DATE: 2/22/2017
TO: Monica Bilodeau, Associate Planner
FROM: Kim McMillan, Asst. City Engineer
RE: PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE PARK
18.660 RIVER TERRACE PLAN DISTRICT
Applicability (18.660.020)
This chapter applies to all property that is located in the River Terrace Plan
District. The boundaries of the plan district are shown on Map 18.660.A,
which is located at the end of this chapter. The standards and requirements
in this chapter apply in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other applicable
provisions of the Tigard Community Development Code (TCDC).
Compliance with all applicable standards and requirements must be
demonstrated in order to obtain development approval. The standards and
requirements in this chapter shall govern in the event of a conflict (Ord. 15-
03 §§1,2).
The Applicant has acknowledged this development is within the River
Terrace Plan District and the regulations of this chapter apply.
Intent (Section 18.660.030.A)
The intent of this section is to address the provision of the infrastructure
systems necessary to benefit and serve all property in River Terrace as
provided for in the River Terrace Community Plan, River Terrace Funding
Strategy, and related infrastructure master plans, in light of the desire of
property owners to commence preliminary development prior to full
implementation of these plans and with the understanding that no
development rights vest and no development approvals can be granted
until the infrastructure systems are in place or assured.
Approval Standards (Section 18.660.030.B)
Land use applications for subdivisions, partitions, planned developments,
site development reviews, and conditional uses may be approved when the
applicable standards in subsection 18.660.030.E are met by the Applicant
and when all of the following funding components of the River Terrace
Funding Strategy have been adopted by the city and are in effect:
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 1 of 31
1. Transportation. A citywide transportation system development charge
(SDC), a River Terrace transportation SDC, and a River Terrace
transportation utility fee surcharge.
2. Sewer. A citywide utility fee surcharge.
3. Stormwater. A River Terrace stormwater utility fee surcharge.
The city adopted all of the system development charges (SDCs) listed
above in April 2015, but has yet to adopt any of the utility fees for
transportation, sewer, and stormwater. Since utility fees will be paid by
future River Terrace residents, not the applicant, the applicant submitted
an Adequate Public Facilities Exception application.
Deferral of Compliance (Section 18.660.030.C)
1. The Applicant may request to defer demonstrating compliance with
one or more of the standards in subsections B and E of this section
as provided for below:
a. Preliminary Plat. Deferral of compliance to final plat approval.
b. Planned Development Concept Plan (Without a Land Division
Proposal). Deferral of compliance to detailed development plan
approval.
c. All Other Development Applications. A condition of development
approval requiring demonstration of compliance no later than 180
days after approval or prior to submission of applications for
building or public facility improvement permits, whichever occurs
first.
2. Deferral of compliance as provided for in paragraph 1 of this
subsection C shall be granted only if:
a. The Applicant demonstrates that the approval standard will likely
be met prior to filing an application for final plat or detailed
development plan approval, or prior to expiration of the condition
of approval described in subparagraph 1.c of this subsection C. A
determination by the approval authority that it is likely that the
standard will be met shall be for the purposes of deferral only and
in no way constitutes an assurance, guarantee, or other
representation that may in any way be relied upon by the
Applicant; and
b. The Applicant executes a written agreement prepared by the city
acknowledging that the Applicant has determined that deferral is
to its benefit and that any and all actions taken pursuant to or in
furtherance of the approval are at the Applicant's sole and
exclusive risk. The acknowledgement shall waive, hold harmless
and release the city, its officers, employees and agents for any
and all claims for damages, including attorney fees, in any way
arising from a denial for failure to demonstrate compliance with
the standards in subsection B of this section, without regard to
fault. Nothing in this section shall preclude the Applicant from
seeking review of any land use decision in accordance with ORS
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 2 of 31
Chapters 197, 215, 227, or equitable relief in a court of competent
jurisdiction.
The Applicant is requesting deferral of the requirement to demonstrate
compliance with the approval standards of this section. Compliance will
be demonstrated prior to submission of applications for permits.
Exception (Section 18.660.030.D).
1. An exception to one or more of the standards in subsection B of this
section may be obtained through a Type II procedure as governed by
Section 18.390.040.
2. An exception shall be granted only if the Applicant:
a. Demonstrates that the exception will not materially impact
implementation of the River Terrace Sanitary Sewer Master Plan
Addendum, River Terrace Water System Master Plan Addendum,
River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan, River Terrace
Transportation System Plan Addendum, and River Terrace
Funding Strategy; and
The applicant has applied for an exception to the standards in the
Stormwater Master Plan in order to construct a regional water quantity and
quality facility on the subdivision site. The applicant states that the
exception will not materially impact implementation of the River Terrace
Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Addendum, River Terrace Water System
Master Plan Addendum, River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan, River
Terrace Transportation Plan Addendum or the River Terrace Funding
Strategy. Polygon will notify future home buys of the future utility fees in
accordance with Subsection 18.660.030.D.2.c.
b. Has proposed alternative(s) that ensures that the Applicant will
provide its proportional share of the funding and construction of
the facilities in a timely manner as identified in the River Terrace
Funding Strategy and related infrastructure master plans. This
may include, but is not limited to, a development agreement or
reimbursement district; and
The applicant has proposed a development agreement as an
alternative to providing their proportional share of funding and
construction of facilities in a timely manner, as identified in the River
Terrace Funding Strategy and related infrastructure master plans.
c. Agrees to disclose in writing to each purchaser of property for
which a building permit has been obtained that the property may
be subject to future utility fees or SDCs as described in the River
Terrace Funding Strategy; and
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 3 of 31
The applicant has agreed to disclose to each purchaser of property
that they may be subject to future utility fees as described in the River
Terrace Funding Strategy, if these are not in place at the time of
building permit issuance.
d. Executes an agreement prepared by the city agreeing that, if the
new transportation SDCs described in paragraph B.1 of this
section is not in effect at the time of building permit issuance, the
Applicant shall pay an amount equal to the SDC amount assumed
in the River Terrace Funding Strategy. No credits shall be issued
against this payment, but the city shall issue a refund if:
i. The Applicant made improvements to a facility that is eligible
for credit under an adopted SDC credit, up to the amount of
the credit, or
ii. An SDC is adopted and paid by the Applicant or its successor,
up to the amount of such payment, or
iii. The city has not adopted the SDCs within two years of the
effective date of this ordinance.
This requirement is not applicable since the new transportation SDCs
have been adopted and are in effect.
Additional Standards. (Section 18.660.030.E).
Section 18.660.030.E states that:
1. Infrastructure improvements for water, sewer, stormwater, and
transportation systems, including but not limited to pump stations
and trunk lines, shall be located and designed to serve the proposed
development and not unduly or unnecessarily restrict the ability of
any other property to develop in accordance with the applicable River
Terrace Infrastructure Master Plan. Infrastructure improvements shall
be evaluated for conformance with this standard during the land use
review process. The city shall take into account the topography, size,
and shape of the development site; the impact of the improvement on
the development site; and, the reasonableness of available options
during its review. The Applicant shall not be required to reduce
otherwise permitted density or obtain a variance to demonstrate
compliance, but this standard may be considered in reviewing a
variance application.
2. Infrastructure improvements for water, sewer, and stormwater shall
be placed in easements that are located, wherever possible, within
existing or future rights-of-way. Easements and rights-of way shall
extend through and to the edge of the development site at such
locations that would maximize the function and availability of the
easement and right-of-way to serve adjacent and surrounding
properties. Easements and rights-of-way shall be evaluated for
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 4 of 31
conformance with this standard during the land use review process.
Dedications of easements and rights-of-way shall be required as a
condition of land use approval, except where the approval is for a
future phase of a planned development or land division approval.
3. Development in water pressure zone 550 shall either provide or
demonstrate that there is sufficient water capacity in water pressure
zone 550 to serve the proposed development, or that it can be served
by another water pressure zone that has sufficient capacity, to the
satisfaction of the city engineer and Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue
during the land use review process.
4. Development in the north and south sewer sub-basins shall
demonstrate, where applicable, that there is sufficient pump station
capacity and associated force mains to serve the proposed
development, or that it can be served by other system improvements,
to the satisfaction of the city engineer and Clean Water Services
during the land use review process.
6. If compliance with stormwater management standards is dependent
upon an off-site conveyance system or an on- or off-site regional
facility that has not yet been provided, the Applicant may propose
alternative and/or interim systems and facilities as described in the
River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan.
a. Development approval for an interim facility shall include a
condition to decommission the interim facility, connect it to the
permanent facility when it becomes available to serve the
development, and assurance that adequate financial resources
are available to decommission the interim facility when the
permanent facility becomes available.
b. Development approval for an alternative or on- or off-site regional
system or facility may include a condition to form a
reimbursement district.
c. No stormwater management system or facility shall be approved
if it would prevent or significantly impact the ability of other
properties to implement and comply with the River Terrace
Stormwater Master Plan or other applicable standards
The applicant is proposing to construct appropriate facilities as anticipated
by the Master Plan. The proposed development is located and designed
so as not to unduly or unnecessarily restrict the ability of any other
property to provide or access a public easement or facility required for the
property to develop in accordance with this Code. The applicant is not
requesting a variance that would necessitate consideration of this
standard.

Street Design — River Terrace Boulevard (Section 18.660.080.A)
Section 18.660.080.A. States the following street design standards apply to
River Terrace Boulevard as shown in Figure 18.660.7 below. The general
location of River Terrace Boulevard is shown on Map18. 660.B, which is
located at the end of this chapter.
1. Design Standards for River Terrace Boulevard. Right-of-way width
shall be 110 feet, plus additional right-of-way as needed for slopes,
retaining walls, etc. Right-of-way and improvement widths may be
reduced to lessen impacts on protected natural resource areas. Right-
of-way and improvement widths may also be reduced where the city
determines that on-street parking adjacent to the trail corridor is not
feasible or necessary or where a reduction is otherwise in the public
interest as described in the River Terrace Community Plan, River
Terrace Transportation System Plan Addendum, or River Terrace Park
System Master Plan Addendum. Given the unique nature of this
street, the public works director, in consultation with the community
development director, shall determine the final alignment, right-of-
way width, and improvement widths using the following standards as
guidelines unless the Applicant requests a formal adjustment through
a Type II procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.040 and using
approval criteria from paragraph 18.370.020.C.9. All landscaped areas
shall meet the Public Improvement Design Standards for River
Terrace Boulevard.
a. Sidewalks.
i. With or without on-street parking, and not adjacent to trail
corridor: six-foot minimum width.

ii. Median: fourteen feet between travel lanes to be used for
landscaping, pedestrian crossing refuge, or left-turn lane
(includes two-foot clearance from travel lanes and one half-
foot curb on both sides)
iii. Left-turn lane: eleven-foot minimum width where left turns are
allowed, as determined by the city engineer.
f. Trail Corridor. Thirty-eight feet minimum width on one side of the
street.
i. Trail: twelve feet minimum width of paving.
ii. Trail corridor landscaping: twenty-six feet minimum width of
landscaping unequally distributed on both sides of the trail to
facilitate trail curvature. This width may be reduced if adjacent
to a public park or other open space easement or tract and
may be used for stormwater management purposes with the
approval of the city engineer.
g. Required Street Lighting. Intersection safety lighting and basic
street lighting per Public Improvement Design Standards.
h. Vehicle Access. See paragraph 18.660.060.B.4.

4. Adjustments to any of these standards shall be processed by means of
a Type II procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.040, using approval
criteria from paragraph 18.370.020.C.9.
The development is proposed as a Planned Development. The proposed
development includes public skinny streets.
Public skinny streets will comply with 18.810.030.
Street Design — Private Alleys (Section 18.660.080.E)
Section 18.660.080.E. States that development sites that have public street
frontage on a local street, neighborhood route, or collector street may
choose to provide vehicle access through a private alley provided that the
alley meets all of the standards below and in subsection 18.810.030.R.
Adjustments to any of these standards shall be processed by means of a
Type II procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.040, using approval
criteria from paragraph 18.370.020.C.9
1. The proposed alley is located in a tract for private access purposes;
and
2. The proposed alley is managed by a homeowner association into
perpetuity. For each alley there shall be a legal recorded document
that includes the following at a minimum:
a. A legal description; and

d. A maintenance agreement, including an allocation or method of
determining liability for a failure to maintain. (Ord. 15-03 §§1, 2)
The proposed planned development will provide vehicle access for some
lots through an alley located in a tract for private access purposes. The
tract will be a minimum of 20-feet wide and managed by a homeowner
associate into perpetuity.
Street Connectivity— Street Alignment and Connections (Section
18.660.090.A)
Section 18.660.090.A states that in addition to the exceptions already
allowed in subsection 18.810.030.H, the following exceptions shall also
apply to development in River Terrace.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 9 of 31
1. For development sites located on the side of the River Terrace
Boulevard right-of-way with the trail corridor, an additional exception
to the street spacing requirement is allowed and encouraged to
minimize the number of trail crossings, provided that there are
bicycle and pedestrian connections in public easements or rights-of-
way a minimum of every 330 feet.
2. For public or private school sites, an additional exception to the
street spacing requirement is allowed, provided that there is
adequate internal circulation for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles
within and through the site and a sufficient number and distribution
of public access points from the site to public streets, sidewalks, and
trails as determined by the approval authority.
Street Connectivity— Block Perimeter (Section 18.660.090.B)
This section states that the perimeter of blocks formed by streets shall not
exceed a total of 1,600 feet measured along the centerline of the streets
except where street location is precluded by natural topography, wetlands,
significant habitat areas, bodies of water, pre-existing development, or an
arterial or collector street along which the city has identified a need to
minimize the number of intersections. (Ord. 15-03 §§1, 2)
The applicant has provided a circulation plan that shows a street system
that meets the block perimeter standard, except where connection is
restricted due to steep grades.
Access Management (Section 18.705.030.H)
Section 18.705.030.H.1 states that an access report shall be submitted with
all new development proposals which verifies design of driveways and
streets are safe by meeting adequate stacking needs, sight distance and
deceleration standards as set by ODOT, Washington County, the city and
AASHTO (depending on jurisdiction of facility).
Section 18.705.030.H.2 states that driveways shall not be permitted to be
placed in the influence area of collector or arterial street intersections.
Influence area of intersections is that area where queues of traffic
commonly form on approach to an intersection. The minimum driveway
setback from a collector or arterial street intersection shall be 150 feet,
measured from the right-of-way line of the intersecting street to the throat
of the proposed driveway. The setback may be greater depending upon the
influence area, as determined from city engineer review of a traffic impact
report submitted by the Applicant's traffic engineer. In a case where a
project has less than 150 feet of street frontage, the Applicant must explore
any option for shared access with the adjacent parcel. If shared access is
not possible or practical, the driveway shall be placed as far from the
intersection as possible.
Section 18.705.030.H.3 states the minimum spacing of driveways and
streets along a collector shall be 200 feet. The minimum spacing of
driveways and streets along an arterial shall be 600 feet.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 10 of 31
Section 18.705.030.H.4 states that the minimum spacing of driveways and
streets along a collector shall be 200 feet.
The Applicant has not addressed sight distance for the proposed street
intersections created with this development. A preliminary sight distance
certification shall be submitted prior to issuance of permits.
The Applicant shall provide preliminary sight distance certification for the
access points to SW 161st Avenue and SW 164th Avenue, in accordance
with County Code, as well as a detailed list of improvements necessary to
produce adequate intersection sight distance.
A final sight distance certification shall be submitted to both city and
county staff prior to issuance of building permits.
The Applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Study prepared by Kittelson
& Associates, dated September 30, 2016. The analysis was done for
River Terrace Park. The proposed development, located on the east side
of River Terrace Edge (recently approved subdivision) will provide 158
single family homes. The city engineering staff and Washington County
Engineer have reviewed the Kittelson study and concurs with the findings
and recommendations on page 5 of the Transportation Analysis.
The Applicant shall incorporate Kittelson's recommendations in the Traffic
Impact Study into their City of Tigard PFI permit application for review and
approval.
Street and Utility Improvements Standards (Chapter 18.810):
Chapter 18.810 provides construction standards for the implementation of
public and private facilities and utilities such as streets, sewers, and
drainage. The applicable standards are addressed below:
Streets:
Improvements:
Section 18.810.030.A.1 states that streets within a development and streets
adjacent shall be improved in accordance with the TDC standards.
Section 18.810.030.A.2 states that any new street or additional street width
planned as a portion of an existing street shall be dedicated and improved
in accordance with the TDC.
Minimum Rights-of-Way and Street Widths (Section 18.810.030).
Section 18.810.030.E states that unless otherwise indicated on an approved
street plan, or as needed to continue an existing improved street or within the
downtown 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
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 11 of 31
for determining improvement requirements within the specified ranges.)
These are presented in Table 18.810.1.
The site is adjacent River Terrace Edge, which previously received land
use approval. The River Terrace Transportation System Plan shows an
east-west collector on the Edge development. This street is shown to
extend east, across the proposed River Terrace Park development, as a
Neighborhood Route with bike lanes. The applicant's plans show SW
Potomac Road meeting the Neighborhood Route standards from the west
property boundary to the proposed SW 162nd Avenue location. From this
point to the east boundary, the applicant has proposed a larger
Neighborhood Route right-of-way, accommodating bike lanes and parking
on one side. This wider cross section is approved.
A second Neighborhood Route, the extension of the existing SW 161st
Avenue from the Meyers Farms development, is proposed. This section
will provide for bike lanes, but no parking. The full section will be
constructed from the north property boundary to a point south of SW
Maybelle Lane. From this point to the south boundary line the applicant
has proposed construction of a half-street section.
The Applicant requests use of the residential local skinny street option for
SW Yukon Street, SW 164th Avenue, SW Swallow Terrace, SW 163rd
Avenue, SW 162nd Avenue, SW 162nd Terrace, SW Maybelle Lane, SW
Roslyn Lane, SW Blackstone Lane, and SW Hawk Ridge Road. The
Traffic Analysis anticipates less than 1000 vehicles per day (VPD) on the
subject local streets. The Applicant proposes the skinny street option that
provides a 50-foot ROW and 28 foot paved section, in accordance with
18.810.4.B, for streets with less than 1000 vehicle trips per day (vpd).
This skinny street section allows for parking on both sides of the street. A
traffic flow plan has been submitted. The skinny street criteria have been
met.
The applicant will construct the north half of SW Hawk Ridge Road, as a
local residential street, as shown in TDC Figure 18.810.4.B.
Future Street Plan and Extension of Streets Section 18.810.030.F:
Section 18.810.030.F states that a future street plan shall be filed which
shows the pattern of existing and proposed future streets from the
boundaries of the proposed land division. This section also states that
where it is 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 barricade shall be constructed at the end of the street.
These street stubs to adjoining properties are not considered to be cul-de-
sacs since they are intended to continue as through streets at such time as
the adjoining property is developed. 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
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 12 of 31
street construction cost. Temporary hammerhead turnouts or temporary cul-
de-sac bulbs shall be constructed for stub streets in excess of 150 feet in
length.
The Applicant has provided a Future Street Plan, with profiles, showing the
extension of SW Hawk Ridge Road, SW Yukon Street, SW Potomac (west)
Street, SW Potomac (east), SW Blackstone Lane, SW Roslyn Lane, SW
163rd Avenue (north), SW 163rd Avenue (south), SW 162nd Avenue, SW
161st Avenue (south) and planned future streets adjacent to and around the
development.
Street Alignment and Connections:
Section 18.810.030.H.1 states that 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.
Section 18.810.030.H.2 states that 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 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% 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.
The proposed street plans in the development meet the spacing standard
of no more than 530 feet between connections, except where connection
is restricted due to steep grades and existing development patterns to the
north in unincorporated Washington County (Arbor Pointe and Meyers
Farm) and to the west in the approved River Terrace Edge subdivision.
Applicant has shown that the constraints preclude additional street
connections.
Grades and Curves:
Section 18.810.030.N states that grades shall not exceed ten percent on
arterials, 12% on collector streets, or 12% on any other street (except that
local or residential access streets may have segments with grades up to 15%
for distances of no greater than 250 feet). Centerline radii of curves shall be
as determined by the City Engineer.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 13 of 31
The Applicant states that the proposed local streets meet this standard.
However, the applicant did not provide profiles for all of the streets for
review. The applicant shall submit profiles of all streets with their permit
application.
Access to Arterials and Major Collectors:
Section 18.810.030.Q states that where a development abuts or is traversed
by an existing or proposed arterial or major 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:
• A parallel access street along the arterial or major collector;
• Lots of suitable depth abutting the arterial or major collector to provide
adequate buffering with frontage along another street;
• Screen planting at the rear or side property line to be contained in a
non-access reservation along the arterial or major collector; or
• Other treatment suitable to meet the objectives of this subsection;
• If a lot has access to two streets with different classifications, primary
access should be from the lower classification street.
The site is not adjacent to and does not include any arterials or collector
streets.
Alley, public or private:
Section 18.810.030.R states that:
• Alleys shall be no less than 20 feet in width. In commercial and
industrial districts, alleys shall be provided unless other permanent
provisions for access to off-street parking and loading facilities are
made.
• While alley intersections and sharp changes in alignment shall be
avoided, the corners of necessary alley intersections shall have a
radius of not less than 12 feet.
The proposed development includes an alley, 20 feet wide. The applicant
states the development does not include intersections or sharp changes in
alignment. However, the alley does intersect SW 161st Avenue on the
east end and SW 162nd Avenue on the west end. The applicant shall
revise their plans to provide adequate radius at the ends of the alleys or
provide documentation that turning movements can be made.
Sidewalks:
Section 18.810.070.A requires that sidewalks be constructed to meet City
design standards and be located on both sides of arterial, collector and
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 14 of 31
local residential streets. Private streets and industrial streets shall have
sidewalks on at least one side.
The Applicant's plans indicate they will be installing full sidewalk
improvements with this development along both sides of the internal public
streets.
Sanitary Sewers:
Sewers Required: Section 18.810.090.A requires that sanitary sewer be
installed to serve each new development and to connect developments to
existing mains in accordance with the provisions set forth in Design and
Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface Water Management (as
adopted by Clean Water Services in 1996 and including any future
revisions or amendments) and the adopted policies of the comprehensive
plan.
Over-sizing:
Section 18.810.090.0 states that proposed sewer systems shall include
consideration of additional development within the area as projected by the
Comprehensive Plan.
The Applicant's plans indicate the construction of an 8-inch sewer main
throughout the proposed public street system, draining west to the
proposed South Pump Station, which is tentatively shown in River Terrace
Edge.
The Applicant shall demonstrate that the CWS south pump station will
have sufficient capacity for the development prior to PFI.
The Applicant must connect to adequate and operational public sewer
facilities prior to issuance of building permits.
Storm Drainage:
General Provisions: Section 18.810.100.A requires developers to make
adequate provisions for storm water and flood water runoff.
The River Terrace Community Plan addresses stormwater management
and the need to protect the quality of the community's water supply, the
built environment from flood damage during large storm events, and the
health and function of stream corridors for habitat and recreation. A River
Terrace Stormwater Master Plan was developed to address the following
goals:
• Restore/enhance vegetated corridors
• Protect water quality
• Preserve existing hydrology
• Promote safe and long-lasting stormwater facilities
• Balance the use of regional and on-site stormwater management
• Preserve existing mature vegetation
• Maximize use of multi-benefit facilities to create community amenities
• Promote partnership with other public service providers
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 15 of 31
Stormwater management infrastructure is needed to protect the water
quality of downstream natural resource areas, the downstream receiving
waters from increased rates of erosion caused by additional water
quantity, and the built environment from flood damage during large storm
events. River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan has identified Strategy
Areas A, B and C, with varying water quality and water quantity treatment
tools.
The proposed 31-acre River Terrace Park development is located
primarily in Strategy Area B and flows to Tributary 5, as identified in the
River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan.
The recommended strategy for developments located in Area B is street,
site, and neighborhood scale low impact development approaches as
shown in Table 2.1 of Section 2 the Stormwater Management Strategy of
the River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan.
The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Stormwater Report for this
project, prepared by Pacific Community Design, dated December 5, 2016.
The applicant states that the northwest portion of the site cannot
physically drain to the proposed pond and will therefore be piped to the
pond being constructed with the River Terrace Edge development. Both
water quality and quantity for the runoff from this portion of the site will be
addressed on River Terrace Edge.
The remainder of the site will be directed to an on-site pond that will
provide both water quality and quantity for runoff.
Accommodation of Upstream Drainage:
Section 18.810.100.0 states that a culvert or other drainage facility shall be
large enough to accommodate potential runoff from its entire upstream
drainage area, whether inside or outside the development. The City
Engineer shall approve the necessary size of the facility, based on the
provisions of Design and Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface
Water Management (as adopted by Clean Water Services in 2000 and
including any future revisions or amendments).
The applicant states that the stormwater drainage system has been
designed to accommodate potential runoff from the upstream drainage
area.
Effect on Downstream Drainage:
Section 18.810.100.D states that where it is anticipated by the City Engineer
that the additional runoff resulting from the development will overload an
existing drainage facility, the Director and Engineer shall withhold approval
of the development until provisions have been made for improvement of
the potential condition or until provisions have been made for storage of
additional runoff caused by the development in accordance with the Design
and Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface Water Management
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 16 of 31
(as adopted by Clean Water Services in 2000 and including any future
revisions or amendments).
The Applicant has submitted a preliminary Water Quality & Detention
Analysis, dated December 5, 2016. The proposed project is
approximately 31 acres and will be developed to provide 158 single-family
homes. The applicant has proposed an on-site facility for stormwater
using the Tualatin River Urban Stormwater Tool (TRUST) to model both a
flood flow frequency analysis and a flow duration analysis for this project.
A final stormwater report shall be submitted with the Applicant's City of
Tigard PFI Permit application. The quality/quantity facility shall be
reviewed and approved by the city's design group prior to issuance of
permits.
Utilities:
Section 18.810.120 states that all utility lines, but not limited to those
required for electric, communication, lighting and cable television services
and related facilities shall be placed underground, except for surface
mounted transformers, surface mounted connection boxes and meter
cabinets which may be placed above ground, temporary utility service
facilities during construction, high capacity electric lines operating at
50,000 volts or above, and:
• The developer shall make all necessary arrangements with the serving
utility to provide the underground services;
• The City reserves the right to approve location of all surface mounted
facilities;
• All underground utilities, including sanitary sewers and storm drains
installed in streets by the developer, shall be constructed prior to the
surfacing of the streets; and
• Stubs for service connections shall be long enough to avoid disturbing
the street improvements when service connections are made.
Exception to Under-Grounding Requirement:
Section 18.810.120.0 states that a developer shall pay a fee in-lieu of under-
grounding costs when the development is proposed to take place on a
street where existing utilities which are not underground will serve the
development and the approval authority determines that the cost and
technical difficulty of under-grounding the utilities outweighs the benefit of
under-grounding in conjunction with the development. The determination
shall be on a case-by-case basis. The most common, but not the only,
such situation is a short frontage development for which under-grounding
would result in the placement of additional poles, rather than the removal
of above-ground utilities facilities. An Applicant for a development which
is served by utilities which are not underground and which are located
across a public right-of-way from the Applicant's property shall pay a fee
in-lieu of under-grounding.

Storm Water Quality:
The City has agreed to enforce Surface Water Management (SWM)
regulations established by Clean Water Services (CWS) Design and
Construction Standards (adopted by Resolution and Order No. 00-7) which
require the construction of on-site water quality facilities. The facilities
shall be designed to remove 65 percent of the phosphorus contained in 100
percent of the storm water runoff generated from newly created impervious
surfaces. In addition, a maintenance plan shall be submitted indicating the
frequency and method to be used in keeping the facilities maintained
through the year.
The River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan identifies the proposed
development as primarily being located in Strategy Area B. The plan
recommends street, site and neighborhood scale low impact development
approaches for water quality.
The Applicant has a preliminary Water Quality & Detention Analysis, dated
December 5, 2016. The proposed project is approximately 31 acres and
will be developed to provide 158 single-family lots. The water quality
treatment for the site will be provided by constructing a water quality swale
located in the pond. The swale is proposed to be constructed in the
southerly portion of the proposed pond, outside of the existing wetland
and buffer, at an elevation above the frequent storage elevation (10%
duration).
Grading and Erosion Control:
CWS Design and Construction Standards also regulate erosion control to
reduce the amount of sediment and other pollutants reaching the public
storm and surface water system resulting from development, construction,
grading, excavating, clearing, and any other activity which accelerates
erosion. Per CWS regulations, the Applicant is required to submit an
erosion control plan for City review and approval prior to issuance of City
permits.
The Federal Clean Water Act requires that a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) erosion control permit be issued for any
development that will disturb one or more acre of land. Since this site is
over five acres, the developer will be required to obtain an NPDES permit
from the City prior to construction. This permit will be issued along with
the site and/or building permit.
A final grading plan shall be submitted showing the existing and proposed
contours. The plan shall detail the provisions for surface drainage of all lots,
and show that they will be graded to ensure that surface drainage is directed
to the street or a public storm drainage system approved by the Engineering
Department. For situations where the back portions of lots drain away from
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PDR 2016-00015 RIVER TERRACE
PARK
March 13, 2017 Page 19 of 31
a street and toward adjacent lots, appropriate private storm drainage lines
shall be provided to sufficiently contain and convey runoff from each lot.
The Applicant will also be required to provide a geotechnical report, per
Appendix J of the Oregon Specialty Structural Code (OSSC), for the
proposed grading slope construction. A Report of Geotechnical Engineering
Services for Bull Mountain development was prepared by GeoDesign, dated
December 2, 2016. Recommendations for site preparation, construction and
inspection have been provided in the report.
The recommendations in the October 24, 2016 report prepared by
GeoDesign shall be incorporated into the final grading plan and a final
construction supervision report must be filed with the Engineering
Department prior to issuance of building permits.
The design engineer shall also indicate, on the grading plan, which lots will
have natural slopes between 10% and 20%, as well as lots that will have
natural slopes in excess of 20%. This information will be necessary in
determining if special grading inspections and/or permits will be necessary
when the lots develop.
The Applicant shall obtain a (CWS) Stormwater Connection Permit
Authorization prior to issuance of the City of Tigard PFI permit.
The site is over 5 acres in size, therefore an NPDES 1200-C permit is
required.
Address Assignments:
The City of Tigard is responsible for assigning addresses for parcels within
the City of Tigard. An addressing fee in the amount of $50.00 per address
shall be assessed. This fee shall be paid to the City prior to approval of
the final plat.
For this project, the addressing fee will be $8,450.00 (158 lots + 11 tracts)
x($50/address) = $8,450.00).
Survey Requirements
The Applicant's final plat shall contain State Plane Coordinates [NAD 83
(91)] on two monuments with a tie to the City's global positioning system
(GPS) geodetic control network (GC 22). These monuments shall be on the
same line and shall be of the same precision as required for the subdivision
plat boundary. Along with the coordinates, the plat shall contain the scale
factor to convert ground measurements to grid measurements and the angle
from north to grid north. These coordinates can be established by:

Washington County Department of Land Use and Transportation has reviewed this
development application for a 158-unit planned development and subdivision. Access to the
development will be provided by extending SW 161st
Avenue and SW 164th Avenue, County-
maintained local streets.
Findings:
1. Resolution and Order 86-95 requires a minimum sight distance (measured in feet)
equal to ten times the vehicular speed of the road(s) at proposed access location(s).
This requirement applies to sight distance in both directions at each access.
The applicant will be required to provide certification from a registered
professional engineer that adequate intersection sight distance exists in both
directions to County Standards (or can be obtained pursuant to specific
Page 1 of 3
improvements) at the new street connections to SW 161st Avenue and SW 164th
Avenue prior to commencing construction activities on the subject site.
2. Washington County Engineer reviewed the Transportation Analysis (Kittleson
& Associates — September 30, 2016) submitted for this development proposal
as required by R&O 86-95. The County concurs with the findings and
recommendations included on page 5 of the Transportation Analysis.
