SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Site Information and Proposal Description°
The subject property is located between SW Scholls Ferry Road and S Brianne Way. It is
part of the Scholl's Meadows Phase 11 Subdivision, a 97-lot subdivision approved by
Washington County. The proposal is to reduce the side yard setback for lots 78 through 97
from feet to 4 feet in order to accommodate narrower lots much more efficiently.
SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
COMPLIANCE WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTIONS:
Tigard Development Code Section '18.390 allows the fallowing development
adjustments by means of a Type I procedure:
Front yard setbacks. Up to a 26% reduction of the dimensional standards for the front
yard setback required in the base zone. Setback of garages may not be reduced by
this provision:
Not Applicable,
Interior setbacks. Up to a 20%® reduction of the dimensional standards for the side and
rear yard setbacks required in the base zone.
The applicant has requested an adjustment to the side yard setback to accommodate for
buildings on narrower lots. The required side yard setback is 5 feet. The request is to allow
4-foot setbacks. A 1-foot setback is a 20% reduction. Therefore, this criterion is met.
Lot coverage. Up to 5% increase of the maximum lot coverage required in the base
zone.
Not Applicable.
A development adjustment shall be granted if there is a demonstration of compliance
with all of the applicable standards:
A demonstration that the adjustment requested is the least required to achieve the
desired affect;
Most of the lots are almost entirely surrounded by roads, open space or this development.
Onlyt seven lots of adjacent land would possibly see the minor deviation frog-n the Code's
required setback. A one-foot adjustment, the amount requested, is only 20% less than the
Code's required 5 feet, Therefore, this criterion has been satisfied.

The adjustment will result in the preservation of trees, if trees are present in the
development area;
Tice trees existing on-site will be removed and mitigated as per Washington County approval
of the preliminary plan. Therefore, this standard does not apply.
The adjustment will not impede adequate emergency access to the site;
There will be adequate emerggency access along the sides of the structures, not causing an
impediment of emergent vehicles or personnel: Fire, life, and safety will be maintainewith
this request. The fire cede allows 3 feet between buildings, therefore, this standard is met.
There is not a reasonable alternative to the adjustment which achieves the desired
affect.
Due to the style of the common wall units, this is the only alternative. Increasing or
decreasin the front or rear yard, would not allow the same design for the structure. As
started earlier in this decision, the additional feet of width for the common wall units will
conform to the existing neighborhood type and s,rle of building, thereby creating a unified
community. The reduction of the originally plattedd lot width of 26 feet to 24 feet preserved
trees and increased the open space of tract "C" by 20%. Therefore, this criterion has been
satisfied.
