a public street.
2. No development shall occur unless streets within the development meet the standards of
this chapter.
3. No development shall occur unless the streets adjacent to the development meet the
standards of this chapter, provided,however, that a development may be approved if the
adjacent street does not meet the standards but half-street improvements meeting the
standards of this chapter are constructed adjacent to the development.
4. Any new street or additional street width planned as a portion of an existing street shall
meet the standards of this chapter.
5. If the city could and would otherwise require the applicant to provide street
improvements, the City Engineer may accept a future improvements guarantee in lieu of
street improvements if one or more of the following conditions exist
a. A partial improvement is not feasible due to the inability to achieve proper design
standards;
b. A partial improvement may create a potential safety hazard to motorists or
pedestrians;
c. Due to the nature of existing development on adjacent properties it is unlikely that
street improvements would be extended in the foreseeable future and the
improvement associated with the project under review does not, by itself, provide a
significant improvement to street safety or capacity;

H. Street alignment and connections.
1. Full street connections with spacing of no more than 530 feet between connections is
required except where prevented by barriers such as topography,railroads,freeways,pre-
existing developments, lease provisions, easements, covenants or other restrictions
existing prior to May 1, 1995 which preclude street connections. A full street connection
may also be exempted due to a regulated water feature if regulations would not permit
construction.
2. All local, neighborhood routes and collector streets which abut a development site shall
be extended within the site to provide through circulation when not precluded by
environmental or topographical constraints, existing development patterns or strict
adherence to other standards in this code.A street connection or extension is considered
precluded when it is not possible to redesign or reconfigure the street pattern to provide
required extensions. Land is considered topographically constrained if the slope is
greater than 15 percent for a distance of 250 feet or more. In the case of environmental or
topographical constraints,the mere presence of a constraint is not sufficient to show that
a street connection is not possible.The applicant must show why the constraint precludes
some reasonable street connection.
3. Proposed street or street extensions shall be located to provide direct access to existing
or planned transit stops, commercial services, and other neighborhood facilities, such as
schools, shopping areas and parks.

short, direct travel routes and minimize travel distances within the development.
The applicant is not proposing any new streets. SW Warner Ave is an existing street. This standard is
not applicable.
I. Intersection angles. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect at an angle as near to a right
angle as practicable, except where topography requires a lesser angle, but in no case shall
the angle be less than 75° unless there is special intersection design, and:
1. Streets shall have at least 25 feet of tangent adjacent to the right-of-way intersection
unless topography requires a lesser distance;
2. Intersections which are not at right angles shall have a minimum corner radius of 20 feet
along the right-of-way lines of the acute angle; and
3. Right-of-way lines at intersection with arterial streets shall have a corner radius of not
less than 20 feet.
The applicant is not proposing any new intersections of public streets. This standard is not applicable.
J. Existing rights-of-way. Whenever existing rights-of-way adjacent to or within a tract are of
less than standard width,additional rights-of-way shall be provided at the time of subdivision
or development.
The existing right-of-way width of SW Warner Ave meets the minimum widths for local street
characteristics per Table 18.910.4. See findings in Section 18.910.030.A. This standard is met.
MIS2025-00003 Tigard's Carts on Broadway 11
K. Partial street improvements. Partial street improvements resulting in a pavement width of
less than 20 feet, while generally not acceptable, may be approved where essential to
reasonable development when in conformity with the other requirements of these
regulations, and when it will be practical to require the improvement of the other half when
the adjoining property developed.

18.920 Access, Egress, and Circulation
18.920.030 General Provisions
A. Continuing obligation of property owner. The provisions and maintenance of access and
egress provided in this chapter are continuing requirements for the use of any structure or lot
of real property in the city.
The applicant has acknowledged that the provisions and maintenance of access and egress provided in
this chapter are the continuing obligation of the property owner.
B. Access plan requirements.A plan demonstrating compliance with the access, egress, and
circulation requirements of this Chapter must be provided prior to any land use approval or
development permit issuance.
The applicant has submitted preliminary civil plans containing proposed access, egress and circulation
routes through the site. See findings in Section 18.920.030.I.
C. Joint access. Owners of two or more uses, structures, or lots of land may agree to utilize
jointly the same access and egress when the combined access and egress of all uses, structures,
or units of land meets the combined requirements of this chapter,provided:
1. Satisfactory legal evidence must be presented in the form of deeds, easements,
leases, or contracts to establish the joint use; and
2. Copies of the deeds, easements, leases, or contracts are placed on permanent file

MIS2025-00003 Tigard's Carts on Broadway 24
E. Surfacing. Driveways and drive aisles must be paved with a dust-free, hard-surfaced
material, or utilize a turf grid or open joint pavers.
As shown on the preliminary civil plan, the existing driveways and drive aisles are paved.
F. Curb cuts. Curb cuts must be in compliance with Subsection 18.910.030.0.
See findings in Subsection 18.910.030.0.
H. Inadequate or hazardous access.
1. Applications for development permits will be referred to the Director for review
when, in the opinion of the Director, the access proposed:
a. Would cause or increase existing hazardous traffic conditions; or
b. Would provide inadequate access for emergency vehicles; or
c. Would in any other way cause hazardous conditions to exist that would
constitute a clear and present danger to the public health, safety, and general
welfare.
2. Direct individual access to arterial or collector streets from single detached
house lots is discouraged. Direct access to collector or arterial streets will be
considered only if there is no practical alternative way to access the site. If direct
access is allowed by the city, the applicant will be required to mitigate for any safety
or neighborhood traffic management (NTM) impacts deemed applicable by the City
Engineer. This may include, but will not be limited to, the construction of a vehicle
turnaround on the site to eliminate the need for a vehicle to back out onto the
roadway.
3. The design of the service drive or drives must not require or facilitate the
backward movement or other maneuvering of a vehicle within a street, other than an
alley. Single detached houses are exempt from this requirement.
The applicant has submitted a schematic site plan containing existing access,egress,and circulation routes
through the site. Preliminary civil plans have been submitted by the applicant to demonstrate preliminary
compliance with the access, egress, and circulation requirements of this chapter. See findings in CDC
18.920.030.I.
I. Access management.
1. An access report must be submitted with all new development that 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).
2. Driveways must not 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 is 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
development has less than 150 feet of street frontage, the applicant must explore any
option for shared access with the adjacent lot. If shared access is not possible or
practicable, the driveway must be placed as far from the intersection as possible.
3. The minimum spacing of driveways and streets along a collector is 200 feet. The
minimum spacing of driveways and streets along an arterial is 600 feet.
MIS2025-00003 Tigard's Carts on Broadway 25
4. The minimum spacing of local streets along a local street is 125 feet.
The applicant has submitted a preliminary civil plan illustrating proposed access, egress, and circulation
routes through the site. The preliminary civil plans submitted demonstrate preliminary compliance with
the access, egress and circulation requirements of this chapter. The applicant has also submitted a traffic
memorandum that indicates design of driveways and streets are safe by meeting adequate stacking needs,
sight distance, and deceleration standards as set by the City or AASHTO. This standard is met.
J. Minimum access requirements for residential uses.
1. Vehicular access and egress for residential uses must comply with the standards
provided in Table 18.920.1.
2. Vehicular access to apartment structures must be within 50 feet of the first-story
entrance or the first-story landing of a stairway, ramp, or elevator leading to the
dwelling units.
3. Private residential access drives must be provided and maintained in compliance
with the Oregon Fire Code.
4. Access drives in excess of 150 feet in length must be provided with approved
provisions for the turning around of fire apparatus by one of the following:
a. A circular, paved surface having a minimum turn radius measured from
center point to outside edge of 35 feet;
b. A hammerhead-configured,paved surface with each leg of the hammerhead
having a minimum depth of 40 feet and a minimum width of 20 feet;
c. The maximum cross slope of a required turnaround is 5 percent.
5. Vehicle turnouts, (providing a minimum total driveway width of 24 feet for a
distance of at least 30 feet), may be required so as to reduce the need for excessive
vehicular backing motions in situations where two vehicles traveling in opposite
directions meet on driveways in excess of 200 feet in length.
6. Where allowed, minimum width for driveway approaches to arterials or collector
streets must be at least 20 feet so as to avoid traffic turning from the street having to
wait for traffic exiting the site.
The proposed development is not a residential use. This standard is not applicable.
K. Minimum access requirements for nonresidential uses.
1. Vehicle access, egress, and circulation for nonresidential uses must comply with
the standards provided in Table 18.920.2.
2. Vehicular access must be provided to nonresidential uses, and be located within
50 feet of the primary first-story entrances;
3. Additional requirements for truck traffic may be imposed through conditions of
approval of a land use application.
The applicant has proposed vehicular access to the site in preliminary compliance with the standards in
Table 18.920.2 for number of driveways required and minimum access width. This standard is met.
L. One-way vehicular access points.Where a proposed parking facility indicates only one-
way traffic flow on the site, it must be accommodated by a specific driveway serving the
facility; the entrance drive must be situated closest to oncoming traffic and the exit drive must
be situated farthest from oncoming traffic.
This standard is not applicable. The applicant has proposed two-way traffic flow on the site.
MIS2025-00003 Tigard's Carts on Broadway 26
M. Director's authority to restrict access. The Director has the authority to restrict access
when the need to do so is dictated by one or more of the following conditions:
1. To provide for increased traffic movement on congested streets and to eliminate
turning movement problems, the Director may restrict the location of driveways on
streets and require the location of driveways be placed on adjacent streets, upon the
finding that the proposed access would:
a. Cause or increase existing hazardous traffic conditions; or
b. Provide inadequate access for emergency vehicles; or
c. Cause hazardous conditions to exist that would constitute a clear and
present danger to the public health, safety, and general welfare.
2. To eliminate the need to use public streets for movements between commercial
or industrial uses, parking areas must be designed to connect with parking areas on
adjacent properties unless not feasible. The Director may require access easements
between properties where necessary to provide for parking area connections.
3. To facilitate pedestrian and bicycle traffic, access and parking area plans must
provide efficient sidewalk or pathway connections, as feasible, between neighboring
developments or land uses.
The director has not determined a need to restrict access based on the conditions outlined above. This
standard is not applicable.
18.930 Vision Clearance Areas
18.930.020 Applicability
A. Applicability. The provisions of this chapter apply to all development, including the
construction of new structures,the remodeling of existing structures, and to a change of use that
increases the on-site parking or loading requirements or changes the access requirements.
B. When site development review is not required.Where the provisions of Chapter 18.780, Site
Development Review, do not apply, the approval authority will approve, approve with
conditions, or deny a plan submitted under the provisions of this chapter through a Type I
procedure, as provided in Section 18.710.050, using the standards in this chapter.
This section is applicable. The provisions of this chapter apply to all proposed development.
18.930.030 Vision Clearance Requirements
A. At corners. Except within the MU-CBD zone, a vision clearance area must be maintained
on the corners of all property adjacent to the intersection of two streets, a street and a railroad,
or a driveway providing access to a public or private street.
B. Obstructions prohibited. A clear vision area must be maintained free of vehicles, hedges,
plantings, fences, wall structures, and temporary or permanent obstructions (except for an
occasional utility pole or tree), exceeding 3 feet in height, measured from the top of the curb, or
where no curb exists, from the street center line grade. Trees exceeding 3 feet in height may be
located in this area, provided all branches below 8 feet are removed.
C. Additional topographical constraints. Where the crest of a hill or vertical curve conditions
contribute to the obstruction of clear vision areas at a street or driveway intersection, hedges,
plantings, fences, walls, wall structures, and temporary or permanent obstructions must be
further reduced in height or eliminated to comply with the intent of the required clear vision
area.
The vision clearance requirements of this chapter are applicable. The applicant has an existing private
driveway connection to SW Warner Avenue. See findings in 18.930.040.
MIS2025-00003 Tigard's Carts on Broadway 27

A. Arterial streets. The vision clearance area is not less than 35 feet on each side of the
intersection.
B. Non-arterial streets.
1. Non-arterial streets 24 feet or more in width.At all intersections of 2 non-arterial streets,
a non-arterial street and a driveway, and a non-arterial street or driveway and railroad
where at least 1 of the streets or driveways is 24 feet or more in width,the vision clearance
area is a triangle formed by the right-of-way or property lines along such lots and a
straight line joining the right-of-way or property line at points that are 30 feet distance
from the intersection of the right-of-way line and measured along such lines. See Figure
18.930.1.
2. Non-arterial streets less than 24 feet in width. At all intersections of two non-arterial
streets, a non-arterial street and a driveway, and a non-arterial street or driveway and
railroad where both streets or driveways are less than 24 feet in width, the vision
clearance area is a triangle whose base extends 30 feet along the street right-of-way line
in both directions from the centerline of the accessway at the front setback line of single
detached houses, and 30 feet back from the property line on all other types of uses.
As shown on the applicant's preliminary site plan, the existing driveway will remain and be protected.
This standard is not applicable.
