18.510 SENSITIVE LANDS
18.510.050 General Provisions for Wetlands
A. Code compliance requirements. Wetland regulations apply to those areas classified as significant on the
City of Tigard “Wetland and Streams Corridors Map,” and to a vegetated corridor ranging from 25 to 200
feet wide, measured horizontally, from the defined boundaries of the wetland, as provided in “Table 3.1,
Vegetated Corridor Widths,” and “Appendix C, Natural Resource Assessments,” of the CWS “Design and
Construction Standards.” Wetland locations may include but are not limited to those areas identified as
wetlands in “Wetland Inventory and Assessment for the City of Tigard, Oregon,” Fishman Environmental
Services, 1994.
B. Delineation of wetland boundaries. Precise boundaries may vary from those shown on wetland maps;
specific delineation of wetland boundaries may be necessary. Wetland delineation will be done by qualified
professionals at the applicant’s expense.
18.510.080 Special Provisions within Locally Significant Wetlands and Along the Tualatin River,
Fanno Creek, Ball Creek, and the South Fork of Ash Creek
A. In order to address the requirements of Statewide Planning Goal 5 (Natural Resources) and the safe
harbor provisions of the Goal 5 administrative rule (OAR 666-023-0030) pertaining to wetlands, all
wetlands classified as significant on the City of Tigard “Wetlands and Streams Corridors Map” are
protected. No land form alterations or developments are allowed within or partially within a significant
wetland, except as allowed or approved in compliance with Section 18.510.100.
B. In order to address the requirements of Statewide Planning Goal 5 (Natural Resources) and the safe
harbor provisions of the Goal 5 administrative rule (OAR 660-023-0030) pertaining to riparian corridors, a
standard setback distance or vegetated corridor area, measured horizontally from and parallel to the top of
the bank, is established for the Tualatin River, Fanno Creek, Ball Creek, and the South Fork of Ash Creek.
2. The standard width for "good condition" vegetated corridors along Fanno Creek, Ball Creek, and
the South Fork of Ash Creek is 50 feet, unless wider in compliance with CWS "Design and
Construction Standards," or modified in compliance with Section 18.510.100. If all or part of a
locally significant wetland (a wetland identified as significant on the City of Tigard "Wetlands and
Streams Corridors Map") is located within the 50-foot setback area, the vegetated corridor is
measured from the upland edge of the associated wetland.
3. The minimum width for “marginal or degraded condition” vegetated corridors along the Tualatin
River, Fanno Creek, Ball Creek, and the South Fork of Ash Creek is 50 percent of the standard
width, unless wider in compliance with CWS “Design and Construction Standards,” or modified in
compliance with Section 18.510.100.
5
4. The determination of corridor condition is based on the natural resource assessment guidelines as
provided in the CWS “Design and Construction Standards.”
5. The standard setback distance or vegetated corridor area applies to all development proposed on
property located within or partially within the vegetated corridors, except as allowed below:
a. Roads, pedestrian or bike paths crossing the vegetated corridor from one side to the other in
order to provide access to the sensitive area or across the sensitive area, as approved by the
city in compliance with Section 18.510.070 and by CWS “Design and Construction Standards”;
b. Utility or service provider infrastructure construction (i.e. storm, sanitary sewer, water, phone,
gas, cable, etc.), if approved by the city and CWS;
c. A pedestrian or bike path, not exceeding 10 feet in width and in compliance with the CWS
“Design and Construction Standards”;
d. Grading for the purpose of enhancing the vegetated corridor, as approved by the city and
CWS;
e. Measures to remove or abate hazards, nuisances, or fire and life safety violations, as approved
by the regulating jurisdiction;
f. Enhancement of the vegetated corridor for water quality or quantity benefits, fish, or wildlife
habitat, as approved by the city and CWS;
g. Measures to repair, maintain, alter, remove, add to, or replace existing structures, roadways,
driveways, utilities, accessory uses, or other developments provided they are in compliance
with city and CWS regulations, and do not encroach further into the vegetated corridor or
sensitive area than allowed by the CWS “Design and Construction Standards.”
6. Land form alterations or developments located within or partially within the Goal 5 safeharbor
setback or vegetated corridor areas established for the Tualatin River, Fanno Creek, Ball Creek, and
the South Fork of Ash Creek that meet the jurisdictional requirements and permit criteria of the
CWS, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of State Lands, or other federal, state, or regional
agencies, are not subject to this subsection B, except where the:
a. Land form alterations or developments are located within or partially within a good condition
vegetated corridor, as provided in Paragraphs 18.510.080.B.1 and 2;
b. Land form alterations or developments are located within or partially within the minimum
width area established for marginal or a degraded condition vegetated corridor, as provided in
Paragraph 18.510.080.B.3.
18.510.100 Plan Amendment Option
A. Comprehensive plan amendment. Any owner of property affected by the Goal 5 safeharbor (1)
protection of significant wetlands or (2) vegetated areas established for the Tualatin River, Fanno Creek,
Ball Creek, and the South Fork of Ash Creek may apply for a comprehensive plan amendment as
provided in Chapter 18.790, Text and Map Amendments. This amendment must be based on a specific
development proposal. The effect of the amendment would be to remove Goal 5 protection from the
property, but not to remove the requirements related to the CWS Stormwater Connection Permit, which
must be addressed separately through an alternatives analysis, as described in Section 3.02.5 of the CWS
“Design and Construction Standards.” The applicant must demonstrate that such an amendment is
justified by either of the following:
B. ESEE analysis. The applicant may prepare an environmental, social, economic and energy (ESEE)
consequences analysis prepared in compliance with OAR 660-23-040.
1. The analysis must consider the ESEE consequences of allowing the proposed conflicting use,
considering both the impacts on the specific resource site and the comparison with other
comparable sites within the Tigard Planning Area;
2. The ESEE analysis must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city council that the adverse
economic consequences of not allowing the conflicting use are sufficient to justify the loss, or
partial loss, of the resource;
6
3. In particular, ESEE analysis must demonstrate why the use cannot be located on buildable land,
consistent with the provisions of this chapter, and that there are no other sites within the Tigard
Planning Area that can meet the specific needs of the proposed use;
4. The ESEE analysis must be prepared by a team consisting of a wildlife biologist or wetlands
ecologist and a land use planner or land use attorney, all of whom are qualified in their respective
fields and experienced in the preparation of Goal 5 ESEE analysis;
5. If the application is approved, then the ESEE analysis must be incorporated by reference into the
Tigard Comprehensive Plan, and the “Tigard Wetland and Stream Corridor Map” be amended to
remove the site from the inventory.
