He said the cities of Tigard and Lake Oswego have been discussing a water sharing Memorandum of Understanding,which will come to Council for approval in December. He said a change was made in the draft agreement clarifying that Lake Oswego is not transferring water rights to the City of Tigard. He said the Lake Oswego City Council is having a public heating tonight and Tigard Public Works Director Koellerrneier is'attending. Councilor Buehner noted that the Memorandum of Understanding does not commit the City of Tigard to anything more than discussion of a possible intergovernmental agreement. City Manager Prosser confirmed that and said it also sets a target date of June, 2008 to reach a draft intergovernmental agreement which would come before the Lake Oswego and Tigard City Councils for approval. • Tigard City Council Minutes .December 4,2007 1 • CITIZEN COMMUNICATION — Mayor Dirksen if anyone in the audience wanted to speak on any item not on the agenda. No one asked to speak. 2. LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING -- COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CPA2007-00002 — UPDATE THE GOALS, POLICIES AND RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES PERTAINING TO STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 7: NATURAL HAZARDS Mayor Dirksen opened the Public Hearing at 6:38 p.m. The City Attorney was not present so City Manager Prosser read the Public J-Ieating Rules of Procedure. Councilor Buchner acknowledged that there were several high school students in the audience and Mayor Dirksen gave them a brief summary of the importance of a comprehensive plan and how the amendment process works. Mayor Dirksen asked if any Council member wished to declare or discuss a conflict of interest or abstention. There was none. Assistant Planner Daniels gave the staff report and said this section of the Comprehensive Plan related to Statewide Land Use Planning Goal 7: Natural Hazards, which protects people and property from natural hazards. She recounted the work done by the citizen policy interest team and staff to create goals,policies and action measures. She said the Planning Commission held a work session on August 20,2007 and a public hearing on September 17, 2007. She said the Planning Commission's minor changes are summarized in Attachment 1. Council reviewed the Planning Commission recommendations from the October 16, 2007 workshop meeting. She said Council's comments can also be found in Attachment 1. Councilor Sherwood said a question arose for her since this amendment was first reviewed by Council relating to the new train switching yard in Tigard. She said CERT training alerted attendees to the disaster potential caused by a lealdng railroad car or a train collision. She asked if this particular man-made hazard is covered in this chapter. Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said it would be difficult to plan for or list all man-made hazards. He said Policy 1 on page.7-8 states that the City "shall design, construct and coordinate the surface transportation system to reduce the potential for mass casualty accidents and to provide the ability to evacuate when necessary." He said Policy 2 says the City "shall encourage communication and coordination among a wide variety if agencies to respond to technological and man- made disasters." He said there is a hazard mitigation plan wherein the City works closely with ODOT and the railroads and others engaged with transportation of hazardous materials. Councilor Wilson brought up the issue frequently expressed by neighbors about wind throws and die weakness of trees left standing after development. He asked if it would be good policy to have it discussed in the Comprehensive Plan. Assistant Community Tigard City Council Minutes December 4,2007 2 • • Development Director Bunch said the Tree Board is working on tree preservation goals and action measures. He said it could also be put into the Natural Resources section. Councilor Buchner asked about dangerous trees that place neighboring properties at risk. She said she noticed a tree leaning during the storm yesterday and asked if the City has a policy to protect people from hazardous trees on neighboring property. Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said many cities have hazardous tree policies but it has to be done carefully so the City isn't stepping in between two neighbors. He said there are standards relating to'hazardous trees in other jurisdiction's codes and he agreed to proceed with an evaluation and bring it back to Council. Public Testimony - Mayor Dirksen asked if anyone present wanted to testify on this chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. No one signed up speak or asked to speak. Assistant Planner Daniels said the staff recommendation is to adopt the amendment with language recommended by the Planning Commission. She said Exhibit A includes the revisions recommended by the Planning Commission. Mayor Dirksen asked Council if they had any questions or comments. Councilor Woodruff suggested in the sixth bulleted item on page 7-5, "Floods are Oregon's most frequently occurring natural disaster." to change the word, "Oregon's" to "Tigard's." He also suggested changing the wording on page 7-7, Item 12 to read "The City shall encourage pervious and minimize impervious surfaces to reduce storm water runoff." Councilor Woodruff also asked if _there should be anything listed under 7-9 Emergencies and Disasters, that says we will maintain and publish evacuation routes. Mayor Dirksen asked if something exists already. City Manager Prosser said we have snow routes but is unsure about evacuation route planning. Mayor Dirksen said this might be covered under Recommended Action Measure iii on page 7-9, Continue to work with the Washington County Office of Emergency Management ... C. "Coordinate regiomvide hazards response." City Manager Prosser said Tigard is a member of the Office of Consolidated Emergency Management and works with other jurisdictions in Washington County in a coordinated way and he said evacuation routes could be a matter brought to this group. Mayor Dirksen asked Council how they felt about Councilor Woodruff's comments about Item 12 on page 7-9. Council agreed that his suggested change should.be made. Mayor Dirksen also noted that a staff recommendation regarding floodplain mapping was that expertise in that lies outside the City and we should defer to that. Mayor Dirksen closed the Public Hearing at 7:00 p.m. • Tigard City Council Minutes December 4,2007 3 • • Councilor Buehner made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 07-20, as amended by discussion at this meeting and Councilor Woodruff seconded the motion.

He reminded everyone that the Rules of Procedure read earlier by City Manager Prosser were still in effect. Mayor Dirksen asked if any Council member wished to declare or discuss a conflict of interest or abstention. There were none. Associate Planner Wyss gave the staff report on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment before Council to update the goals,policies and recommended action measures related to Statewide Land Use Planning Goal 1.1: Public Facilities.

He said this amendment went through the review process of community input from policy interest teams, using technical information and issues and values gleaned from surveys and the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow project. It went to the Planning Commission and then City staff reviewed the language to ensure compliance with any rules,regulations or agreements that the City is obligated to follow. He said the minor changes suggested by the Planning Commission are in Exhibit D. He said the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended no further changes. He also noted that the City is not obligated to follow Statewide Planning Goals 3 and 4 but there is filler language for those goals so the document follows the chapter layout. He said an overview of questions from Council during a November 20,2007 work session is found in Attachment 1. Associate Planner Wyss said Councilor Buchner forwarded some questions to staff and responses are labeled as Exhibit F which was given to Council tonight. Mayor Dirksen asked Council if they had any questions. Councilor Woodruff said it appeared everything had been captured. Tigard City Council Minutes December 4,2007 4 Mayor Dirksen opened the healing to public testimony. There was none.

I Ie said he had'a question about Goal 11-1: Policy 6, which states, "Develop and maintain a stommwater system that protects development, water resources, and wildlife habitat." He said his recommended change of adding the words,"to the extent necessary..."was not there. He said the word, "necessary" is important.

Prepared By: Darren Wyss Dept Head Approval: � City Mgr Approval: k.. ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Shall Council approve the Planning Commission's recommendation to adopt the Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA 2007-00004) to update the goals, policies, and recommended action measures applicable to Statewide Planning Goal 11? STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff proposes Council approve the Planning Commission's recommendation and adopt the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment to update goals, policies, and recommended action measures pertaining to Statewide Planning Goal 11. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The proposed Public Facilities and Services chapter included in the amendment is a result of Council's direction to complete a full update of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. The updated chapter is based on the extensive inventory and facts included in the Tigard 2007 resource document that detailed current community conditions and trends. Additionally, staff considered relevant findings from past citizen surveys and the Tigard visioning project. This ensured that the expressed values and attitudes of the hundreds of citizens who participated in these efforts were incorporated into the update of the Comprehensive Plan. Council's direction to update the Comprehensive Plan also stressed the importance of garnering citizen input. Staff has done this through Policy Interest Teams that met several times. Through consideration of the above technical information and previously expressed values and attitudes, the Policy Interest Teams and staff formulated draft goals, policies, and recommended action-measures to pass on to the Planning Commission. Subsequently, the Planning Commission held a public workshop on October 1, 2007 and a public hearing on November 5,2007. The Commission recommended the Council adopt the updated chapters included in CPA2007-00004.At the workshop, the Commission made some minor changes to the original proposal and made no further changes at the public hearing. These changes are summarized in staff's attached memorandum (Exhibit D). Like all updated Plan chapters that will come before Council, it is important that the Public Facilities and Services chapter be technically sound. Therefore, during the development of the three chapters, Department Review Teams were involved to determine its technical accuracy and conformance with applicable laws and rules. Also, the updated chapters were sent to state,federal,and regional agencies for review. 1 • The intent of the updated chapters is to provide Tigard a much better foundation on which to prepare ordinances, associated plans, development standards,programs, and intergovernmental agreements.This is necessary to provide the • tools needed to improve community livability by protecting air, water, and land resources, conserving energy, and providing a variety of parks and recreation opportunities for residents. By adopting the new Comprehensive Plan chapters,the City signals that it is committed to these principles,whether they are required by federal,state,and regional regulations,or simply the aspirations and wishes of the community. The proposed chapters provide a necessary update to the current language in the Comprehensive Plan,which is out of date and limited scope. The Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) requires jurisdictions to periodically update their plans to reflect current conditions, regulations and information relating to the Oregon Statewide Planning Goals. This amendment will act as a major stride in ensuring compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals. City Council reviewed the amendment at a November 20, 2007 meeting and had a number of questions and comments on the amendment language. At Council's direction, staff developed alternative language to address the questions and comments for the Council to consider at the public hearing on December 4, 2007. This alternative language is outlined in the memo dated November 21, 2007 (Attachment 1). OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Approve the Planning Commission recommendation and adopt CPA2007-00004. 2. Modify the Planning Commission recommendation and adopt CPA2007-00004. 3. Remand to the Planning Commission to hold additional hearings and deliberations for future consideration at City Council.

The amendment updates the goals, policies, and recommended action measures for the Public Facilities and Services (Statewide Planning Goal 11) chapter for the updated Comprehensive Plan (see Exhibit A). The proposed amendment language was approved and recommended by the Planning Commission at a November 5, 2007 public hearing. City Council reviewed the amendment at a November 20, 2007 meeting and had a number of questions and comments on the amendment language. At Council's direction, staff developed alternative language to address the questions and comments for the Council to consider at the public hearing on December 4, 2007. This alternative language is outlined below. INTRODUCTION Council asked that a definition of public facilities and services, or at least a list of what is included in the chapter, be added early in the introduction. This will help the reader quickly identibi the contents of the chapter and eliminate the need to browse the chapter to get that information. Staff recommends adding a definition to the glossary and inserting the underlined language below: Public Facilities and Services addresses their appropriate coordination, location, and delivery in a manner that best supports the existing and proposed land uses. For the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan, public facilities and services refer to: CPA2007-00004 1 Attachment 1 • Stormwater Management • Water Supply and Distribution • Wastewater Management • Community Facilities • Private Utilities The provision of these facilities and services is essential to a high quality of life and the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Their availability is also vital to promoting and sustaining a strong local and regional economy. For these reasons, the City and its partner agencies and districts must efficiently plan for the impacts of future growth and development on the facilities and services provided. Statewide Planning Goal 11 requires Oregon jurisdictions to adopt Comprehensive Plans that provide goals and policies as the basis to manage, maintain, and expand the public facilities and services of the community. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Council directed staff to work with the City Manager to review the language included in the last paragraph of the introduction. Staff recommends the following language changes: Funding for the stormwater system is generated from two sources. The first is from System Development Charges (SDCs) that are assessed on new developments that cannot provide their own water quantity and quality facilities. The money is placed in the Storm Sewer Fund which is managed by CWS and used for capital projects - .: : •- : : - : . . .: a CWS. The second, the Surface Water Management Fee, is a monthly charge that is collected on utility bills. The City keeps 7-53/4 a portion of this fee for operations and maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure. Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated. Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Key Findings: • The City maintains 113.1 miles of stormwater pipes, 3975 catch basins, and 588 outfalls, and water quality facilities; which includes ponds, swales. filter systems, detention pipes and tanks. . - CPA2007-00004 2 Attachment 1 • . Council discussed the use of the word annexation in Policy 4 and staff offers the following alternative: The City shall require a property to be located within the City limits annexation prior to any property receiving City stormwater services. Council directed staff to look at the language of Policy 6 and develop alternatives that would be appropriate to accommodate the possible circumstances where an alteration to the natural state of a stream or wetland is needed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Following are a couple of alternatives: AeccGSS The City shall maintain streams and wetlands in their natural state, to the extent 4e,to protect their stormwater conveyance and treatment functions. The C�4 shall •_'scoura• -,;. odification to existin_ maintain stream- an wetlands in their - - -• A - - o p . thei sto at cony- ante an eatm nt functions. WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated. Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Key Findings: .—• .. . •../19 , . • e - .' City of Tigard.

The total length of piping in the service area is approximately 209 miles. • Three feasibility studies arc in progress and will help to provide direction for the City's long-term supply options. Council commented that all new development doesn't necessarily need access to water (e.g. parking lot expansion) and directed staff to look at the wording of Policy 8. Following is alternative language to be considered: CPA2007-00004 3 Attachment 1 4111 • The City shall require that all new development needing a water supply to: Council directed staff to develop an alternative to Recommended Action Measure i. to make it more definitive as the City is far into the process. .. . : .- • - .- - :. - Develop partnerships with neighboring jurisdictions in securing a long term water supply. Council commented that some areas of the City have low water pressure and this could be added to Recommended Action Measure iv. Staff recommends adding an additional Recommended Action Measure that reads: • Identify areas of the City with low water pressure and implement solutions to address these issues. WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated. Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Key Findings: •—As ef October 2006, there were approximately 12,674-connections to the City's • The City owns and maintains 160 miles of wastewater mainline (6 to 21 inches) sized from 6 to 21 inches in diameter. • Currently, 29 A number of un-served neighborhoods (-589-properties) have been provided the opportunity to connect to the wastewater system through the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program. Another 17 Additional neighborhoods have been identified as potential participants in the program. Council discussed the use of the word annexation in Policy 6 and staff offers the following alternative: The City shall require a property to be located within the City limits annexation prior to arty property receiving City wastewater services. COMMUNITY FACILITIES Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated. Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Introduction: CPA2007-00004 4 Attachment 1 • • One way for Tigard Police and TVFR to gauge their level of service is by tracking their incident response time. Both pride themselves on quick response time to calls for service, but as development occurs, added traffic volumes and the associated congestion can cause a delay in response time. This has led to, and will continue to lead to, the need for emergency services to expand their services and facilities in order to continue providing adequate•service. • . ■ . : •- - - Y• - • : • - . : - : - - -. .- . : . :- Y - Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated. Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Key Findings: • Growth and development will place increasing demands on the Police Department, which currently has an average response time that has increased by 16% over the 5 year period from 2002 to 2006. over the last 5 years to 4 minutes, 30 seconds per call. •the_ • TTSD owns 23 a number of properties (189 acres) in Tigard. The Beaverton School District does not own any property within Tigard. • Beaverton School District is experiencing rapid growth and is looking for land for a future school in the southwestern quadrant of their district,which includes schools attended by Tigard residents. Council asked about the verb used in Policies 6 and 9 and directed staff to develop alternatives. The City shall require provide library services that are accessible to the community and are sufficient to meet user demands. The City shall require ensure the Senior Center te-be is accessible and available to serve the needs of the aging population in the community. FA ANCHISE PRIVATE UTILITIES Council commented that franchise agreements are being evaluated as to their legal status and directed staff to work with the City Manager to develop alternatives to the term. The first introductory paragraph could be changed to read: Telecommunications, electricity,video, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into - -- - - • •- - ' : • •. - - ' • - ,. . ; pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code. CPA2007-00004 5 Attachment 1 • . Council commented that franchise agreements are being evaluated as to their legal status and directed staff to work with the City Manager to develop alternatives to the term. The first Key Finding could be changed to read: • Telecommunications, electricity, video, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities • !•,• • : - : pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code. Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated. Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Key Findings: --Portland General Electric provides electricity service to Tigard residents. • . . _ . : : • . -. . - : - - : . •—Comcast provides cable service and high speed internet to Tigard residents. • Collocation of wireless communication equipment and the location of the towers upon which the equipment resides have a direct visual impact upon the community. providers within the City were contacted to evaluate possible collocation efforts in order to try and minimize the visual impact upon the City. Council commented that franchise agreements are being evaluated as to their legal status and directed staff to work with the City Manager to develop alternatives to the term. Policy 6 could be changed to address this issue, as well as expanded upon to provide more direction on the City's position regarding right-of-way use. Alternative language could include: The City shall monitor emerging technologies to effectively manage franchise agreements into the future. 6. The City shall manage private utility use of the public rights-of-way and other public lands to: A. Protect the primary intended use of these assets; B. Provide fair opportunity to access these assets, including those involved in emerging technologies; C. Protect the public's past and ongoing investments by assessing sufficient charges for the privilege of using these public assets; and D. Ensure the community has equitable access to essential private utilities. If Policy 6 is edited to include alternative language such as above, information should also be added to the background and key definitions. An example would be: CPA2007-00004 6 Attachment 1 • • • Telecommunications, electricity,video, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as eutlifted in the Tigard Municipal Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code. This protects the public's past and ongoing investments in rights-of-way and other public lands. The fee also adheres to an equity principle that private companies should pay for the privilege of using public property to conduct business, just as they pay for the privilege of using private property to conduct business. The services provided by these private companies and the associated infrastructure are essential to the community. As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must require that these services are available and coordinate their extension during the development process,while at the same time protecting the primary intended use of public rights-of-way and other public properties. This coordination, and cooperation between the various entities, helps to avoid conflict with current and planned infrastructure in the right- of-way and provides fair opportunity to access the right-of-way. Additionally, uncoordinated utility installations in the public right-of-way may result in multiple street cuts and increased public costs to maintain curbs, gutters, streets, and sidewalks. The following Key Findings should also be added: • As an equity principle, private companies should pay for the privilege of using public property to conduct business. • A key task of the City is to protect the public's investments and the primary intended use of these assets. Council asked whether garbage collection should be included in this section of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff responded that the Land Resources Quality section of the Environmental Quality chapter contains language referring to garbage haulers, and that staff would review this language to ensure its appropriateness. After review, staff recommends leaving the language in the (Environmental Quality chapter. Following is Policy 2 under Goal 6.3 in the Envrironmental,Quality chapter. 2. The City shall regulate and manage solid waste and recycling collection services through franchise agreements that: A. Ensure recycling opportunities are accessible to all households, businesses, and institutions; B. Implement waste reduction measures through prevention and recovery efforts; C. Remain cost effective and environmentally sensitive; and D. Comply with applicable plans, policies, and laws. CPA2007-00004 7 Attachment ] i +� Exhibit A °�, : . ` '' t` � , ,.. ;vs .ark, 1 6%)41' ..

" 1111 Niumpr 12 I ' ll public Facilities and Services addresses their appropriate coordination, location, and delivery in a manner that best supports the existing and proposed land uses. The provision of these facilities and services is essential to a high quality of life and the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Their availability is also vital to promoting and sustaining a strong local and regional economy. For these reasons, the City and its partner agencies and districts must efficiently plan for the impacts of future growth and development on the facilities and services provided. Statewide Planning Goal 11 requires Oregon jurisdictions to adopt Comprehensive Plans that provide goals and policies as the basis to manage, maintain, and expand the public facilities and services of the community. GOAL 11: Public Facilities.and Services 4 75-` 3VY , "To plan and develop a timely,orderly,and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." The community's vision is for a future where essential public facilities and services are readily available to serve the needs of the community. They under- stand the importance of not only planning for and funding the facilities, but ensuring their continued maintenance. They also recognize the impact that new development places upon all services and want them to pay their fair share. The public library, senior center, public safety, and public schools are especially considered vital components of a high quality, livable community. Furthermore, it is recognized that expected population growth in the region will place increased pressure on existing public facilities and services. The City of Tigard has adopted the City of Tigard Public Facility Plan (1991) as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-11. The City will make appropriate updates to the Public Facility Plan on a regular basis as part of the Periodic Review process as required by_Oregon Administrative Rule 660-25. Section 1: Stormwater Management The City stormwater infrastructure is a mix of natural and piped systems. As with most urban areas, the reliance on piped stormwater has been important to transport the water from impervious surfaces to the natural systems and move it out of the community. To ensure the system operates effectively, the natural components must remain in good condition to meet the primary objectives of protecting water quality and flood control.To accomplish these objectives, the City collaborates with Clean Water Services (CWS) in the planning and manage- Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-1 • • • PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES ment of the system. The plans currently used for City efforts are the CWS StormwaterManagement Plan (2006), which addresses water quality protection, and Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (1997),which addresses flood control in the City. The 2006 StormwaterManagement Plan (SWMP) is a requirement of the combined National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits held by CWS. The SWMP is revised on a five-year cycle and was last updated in spring 2006. To implement the plan, the City has an inter-governmental agreement (IGA) with CWS as a "self-service provider."This designation means the City has operation and main- tenance authority over storm drain systems,water quality systems, and roadside ditches under City jurisdiction. The IGA outlines the CWS work program stan- dards that must be followed by the City. The 1997 Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (Fanno Plan) prepared by CWS for all jurisdictions within the basin,is the principal plan for drainage in the City. The Fanno Plan covers 85% of Tigard (the remaining 15% of the juris- diction drains directly to the Tualatin River) and has been adopted by the City. Included in the plan is an inventory of drainage structures, an evaluation of their adequacy of capacity, and recommended City infrastructure improvements to reduce flooding. Funding for these projects is available through the Storm Sewer Fund that results from the collection of system development charges. In addition, the City is responsible for adopting policies and regulations that implement statewide land use goals to protect water quality and wildlife habitat. These policies and regulations must ensure that the impacts of new develop- ment on the stormwater infrastructure are minimized. One of the greatest impacts on stormwater infrastructure is the amount of impervious surface in a watershed. Impervious surfaces increase run-off into the stormwater system and increase the peak flow of storm events. Reducing the impervious surface coverage will encourage natural filtration and help to reduce the stormwater infrastructure needs, as well as reduce problems associated with scouring and . erosion of stream channels from storm events. Although CWS does not have land use authority, they have been involved in reducing the impacts of stormwater by developing the CWS Design and Construction Standards (2007) that have been adopted by and are implemented by the City. A city engineer performs the task of evaluating the stormwater infrastructure design during the development review process to make sure the standards are met. 11-2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan In addition to the CWS Design and Construction Standards(2007), the City has adopted voluntary habitat friendly development provisions that may be utilized during new development. The provisions seek to protect wildlife habitat that has been identified within the community and includes low impact development practices that are meant to reduce stormwater flow. Funding for the stormwater system is gener- ated from two sources. The first is from System Development Charges (SDCs) that are One of the assessed on new developments that cannot provide their own water quantity and quality greatest impacts o- facilities. The money is placed in the Storm Sk � p on stormwater Sewer Fund,which is managed by CWS and used for capital projects included in plans infrastructure _;. formulated by CWS.

The City of Tigard took over the provision of water to the Tigard Water Service Area from the Tigard Water District in 1994. During the transfer of supply responsibilities, an IGA created oversight for the water system through the Inter- governmental Water Board (IG\XBB), which consists of a member from Tigard, Durham, King City,Tigard Water District, and one at-large member.The IGWB advises Tigard City Council on issues relating to rate setting and water supply. The City owns and operates the water distribution system under license from the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Oregon Water Resources Department. The Water Distribution Hydraulic Study(2000) is the current master plan for the City water supply system. The study provides direction for system improvements,including storage and distribution. Although the City owns a few wells, nearly 90% of the water supply is purchased from wholesale water providers such as the Portland Water Bureau (PWB). The City signed a 10-year agreement in summer 2006 to continue purchasing water from PWB. In addition, the City purchases water from the City of Lake Oswego, which draws its water from the Clackamas River Basin. This lack of a City- owned supply has been identified as an important issue for the future and three long-term supply feasibility studies are in progress. The studies are in collabora- tion with neighboring jurisdictions and will evaluate various options for partner- ships in securing a long-term supply. During periods of high water demand, the City can supplement its supply with water from City-owned aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) wells and native groundwater wells. Additional supply is available for purchase from the Joint Water Commission (JWC).Water from the }WC is delivered via the City of Beaverton system; making it Tigard's only fluoridated supply. The City also has system inter-ties with Tualatin and the Lake Grove Water District that allows sharing water under emergency conditions. In 2005, the Oregon Departments of Human Services and Environmental Quality conducted a source water assessment on Tigard's groundwater. Within the Tigard water service area, 50 sites were identified as potential sources of drinking water contamination if managed improperly. The City of Tigard Water System is set up as an enterprise fund. The budget needs no money from the City general fund and operates based solely on 11-6 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • I I I revenue the Water System creates. System Development Charges for new construction and connections, and rates for water consumption are the two main sources of revenue for the budget. KEY FINDINGS • The expansion and maintenance of water supply and distribution infrastruc- ture is an important factor affecting growth and development. • As of November 2006,TVWD has approximately 1,920 service connections within the City of Tigard. There are 24 covered reservoirs in the TVWD system that can store 53 million gallons of water. • The City of Tigard Water Service provides potable water to approximately 55,990 people through approximately 17,300 residential, commercial, and industrial service connections. • The City of Tigard's water system contains 13 reservoirs with a total combined storage capacity of approximately 24.5 million gallons. • The City of Tigard's water distribution system contains eight pump stations to distribute potable water to residents around the Tigard Water Service Area. • The distribution system is composed of various pipe types in sizes up to 36 inches in diameter. The total length of piping in the service area is approxi- mately 209 miles. • Three feasibility studies are in progress and will help to provide direction for the City's long-term supply options. • The City has experienced a decrease in total and per capita consumption from 2001 to 2005 due to repairs made in water line leaks, rising costs, and the Water Conservation Program. • The Water Demand Forecast Report(2006) projects future annual water demand could range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons in the Tigard Water Service • Area. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure.

CWS owns and operates the Durham Wastewater Treatment Facility. The facility is operating under the basin-wide NPDES permit and is in compli- ance with Clean Water Act regulations. The City has an IGA with Clean Water Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-9 • • S II PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES Services to perform management and maintenance tasks on City-owned waste- water infrastructure to ensure continued compliance with the regulations. The CWS Collection System Master Plan Update (2000) is the current plan for waste- water collection in the Tualatin basin,including the City of Tigard. The primary focus of the plan was to analyze future capacity of the system and found that all existing lines within the City of Tigard have adequate capacity to accommodate anticipated growth. The City has also developed the Sanitary Sewer Facility Plan Map to help priori- tize projects and schedule improvements to the system through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The facility map is continuously revised and shows the locations of all current and proposed lines within the City. The map allows the City to plan for new construction and also identify developed neighborhoods not currently being served by the wastewater system. The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program was established in 1996 by the City to extend public infrastructure to unconnected neighborhoods. This program encourages property owners to retire septic systems and connect to the City sewer system. The program does require property owners,upon connec- tion, to reimburse the City for a fair share of the total cost. To encourage participation, the City also established the Neighborhood Sewer Reimbursement District Incentive Program that provides options for limiting the financial burden on the property owner. In addition to the operation and maintenance of the existing wastewater system, the City is responsible for implementing the CWS Design and Construction Standards(2007). Land use applicants are required to obtain a Public Facility Permit when connecting to City owned wastewater infrastructure and must comply with the standards as part of the development review process. This function is outlined in the IGA between CWS and Tigard and is carried out by a city engineer. Funding for the wastewater system is generated from three sources. First, devel- opers finance the construction of new sewer lines needed to service their new developments. Secondly, during the building permit process a connection fee is collected by the City. Most of the fee is transferred to CWS, but a portion of • the fee is retained by the City for system improvements. Finally, the monthly sewer service fee is collected on the utility bill and a portion is retained by the City for operations and maintenance of the wastewater system. • 11-10 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • I I I Nov • KEY FINDINGS • The expansion and maintenance of wastewater infrastructure is an impor- tant factor affecting growth and development. • The City coordinates the expansion, operation, and maintenance of waste- water infrastructure through an IGA with CWS as a "self-service provider." • As of October 2006, there were approximately 12,671 connections to the City's wastewater system. • The City owns and maintains 160 miles of wastewater mainline (6 to 21 inches). • Currently, 29 neighborhoods (589 properties) have been provided the opportunity to connect through the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program.

Section 4: Community Facilities The City of Tigard provides many community services, while special districts supply a portion of the facilities and services that make the community what it is today.All of these facilities and services must maintain a level of service that is adequate for the current population and, at the same time, must plan for and accommodate future growth and development within Tigard. This is why collab- oration during the.development process is essential to ensuring the services will be available and funding options will continue to exist with an acceptable level of service. City-owned facilities include the Tigard Public Library, the Senior Center, and a number of administrative and equipment storage facilities. The library is a new facility that was funded by a community bond measure and opened to the public in 2004.The library offers a wide range of services and programs and acts as a 11-12 City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan • • IIII community center for Tigard residents. The library has experienced a significant increase in use since the new facility was opened. The Senior Center is a hub of activities for the aging population in the commu- nity. Social events, classes, and meal services are a few of the offerings. Other City-owned facilities are dispersed around the community and house various City personnel and equipment. These facilities are vitally important to support the provision of public services to the community Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. Only Tigard-Tualatin owns property and operates schools within the Tigard city limits. Both districts have seen steady growth over the years and are an important component of reviewing develop- ment applications to ensure school capacity is not exceeded. Additionally, this working relationship is important to finding appropriate sites for new school facilities that will limit the impacts to the neighborhood and traffic flow. Public safety is a critical component of a livable community.

Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-13 • • • S • I- PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES One way for Tigard Police and TVFR to gauge their level of service is by tracking their incident response time. Both pride themselves on quick response time to calls for service, but as development occurs, added traffic volumes and the associated congestion can cause a delay in response time. This is illustrated in the fact that TVFR has found a section of the City that could be better served. For that reason,TVFR has purchased property and is planning a new station that will decrease the response times to those neighborhoods. Since growth and development will impact both fire and police services,Tigard Police and TVFR have the opportunity for review and comment during the land use application process. They evaluate proposed projects to ensure an adequate level of service exists for the development and no impediments will occur to hamper the ability to perform their functions. For TV R, street design and placement is very important for access and egress of its equipment. A well connected street network is also essential to improving response times, for both fire and police services. During the land use application process, TVFR reviews hydrant locations, adequacy of firefighting water supplies,and viability of appa- ratus access to ensure meeting fire code requirements. In addition to providing a built environment that is accessible for safety equip- ment, the City has adopted the Oregon statewide minimum fire code and performs inspections on new construction. The fire code outlines the required equipment for various development types and sizes. Homeowners can volun- tarily take steps to reduce risk of fire by installing equipment and providing a defensible space around structures that are located in an area at risk of wildfire. KEY FINDINGS • Growth and development will place increasing demands on the Police Department,which currently has an average response time that has increased over the last 5.years to 4 minutes, 30 seconds per call. • Areas of high population density and commercial areas, particularly Washington Square Mall,place high demands on the Tigard Police Department. • TVFR provides fire protection services for the City through an IGA. • Three TVFR stations serve City residents,with one station located within City boundaries and a new station planned to be built at Walnut Street and 124th Avenue. • The dependability of fire protection is based in part on the distribution and capacity of the City water supply. 11-14 City of Tigard f Comprehensive Plan • • NMI III • The City owns all fire hydrants within its boundaries. • The community has an ISO fire insurance rating of 2, one of 15 in Oregon. • Street widths must be adequate for fire equipment access and egress, which may conflict with development that is promoting a pedestrian-friendly envi- ronment through narrower streets. • Appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment installed at the time of development is cost-effective and invaluable in reducing the community's risk to fire. • Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. The school district boundary dates back to 1910, prior to Tigard's incorporation. • In both 1993 and 2006 city surveys, Tigard residents named schools, educa- tion or school funding as top issues for the community (ranking 6th and 4th, respectively). • TTSD owns 23 properties (189 acres) in Tigard. The Beaverton School District does not own any property within Tigard. • TTSD estimates slow steady growth: 4.6%o rate by 2010, with no additional schools planned for City limits. • Beaverton is experiencing rapid growth and is looking for land for a future school in the southwestern quadrant,which includes schools attended by Tigard residents. • The new library has experienced increased usage (80% increase in visits from 1996 to 2006) since its completion, and as growth and development occur in the community, additional pressure will be put on the services offered. • The library is valued as a community center for public meetings and other events. • Although not all City departments are directly involved in land use planning, their provision of services is affected by growth and development. These impacts on government services must be considered during the land use application process, as well as additional facilities that would be needed to house them. • City sustainability programs will be evaluated for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Plan and may have an impact on future building renovations as it relates to the Tigard Community Development Code. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety,schools and infrastructure.

These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. The services provided by these private companies and the associated infrastruc- ture are essential to the community. As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must require that these services are available and coor- dinate their extension during the development process. This coordination, and cooperation between the various entities, helps to avoid conflict with current and planned infrastructure in the right-of-way. Additionally,uncoordinated utility installations in the public right-of-way may result in multiple street cuts and increased public costs to maintain curbs,gutters, streets, and sidewalks. The placement of utilities in the public right-of-way is regulated by the Tigard Community Development Code. During the development review process, a city engineer approves plans showing the location of utilities.New development is typically required to place utilities underground unless they are already in exis- tence above ground, or where the action would not be feasible. In certain cases, where undergrounding is not feasible and the utility crosses or is adjacent to a public right-of-way,an in-lieu of fee may be assessed and placed into a fund that is used to move existing utilities underground elsewhere in the City. The City has also recognized the demand for wireless communication services and adopted regulations for the facilities necessary to provide them. The infra- structure needed to support the services has a visual impact upon the commu- nity and collocation efforts are encouraged by the City to minimize that impact. Collocation is the practice of placing the communication equipment of two or more companies on one structure (wireless tower). • KEY FINDINGS • Telecommunications, electricity, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utili- ties. These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in Chapter 15.06 of the Tigard Community Development Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. • As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must 11-18 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • ensure that private utility services are available and coordinate their exten- sion during the development process. • Portland General Electric provides electricity service to Tigard residents. • Northwest Natural Gas provides natural gas service to Tigard residents. • Verizon and Qwest both provide telecommunication service to the community. • Comcast provides cable service and high speed internet to Tigard residents. • Applicants for wireless telecommunication facilities are required to demon- strate that all other providers within the City were contacted to evaluate possible collocation efforts in order to try and minimize the visual impact upon the City. GOAL 11.5 Private utilities provide the needed energy and communication services for the community. POLICIES 1. The City shall require that all new development: A. secure the required energy and communication utilities; B. place new utilities underground,when feasible, or pay an in-lieu- of fee when crossing or adjacent to a public right-of-way; and C. provide necessary casements for energy and communication services. 2. The City shall require the placement of existing services under- ground,when feasible, or pay an in-lieu-of fee during redevelopment or street construction. 3. The City shall coordinate with private utilities during installation to minimize public costs to maintain curbs,gutters, streets, and sidewalks. 4. The City shall require the collocation of wireless communication services on existing towers whenever possible. 5. The City shall manage the siting of wireless communication towers to minimize visual impacts on the community. 6. The City shall monitor emerging technologies to effectively manage franchise agreements into the future.

Goal 3 states that only land that lies outside Urban Growth Boundaries can be classified as agricultural. This directs counties to identify, preserve, and maintain lands for farm use, consistent with existing and future needs for agricultural products, forest and open space and with the state's agricultural land use policy expressed in the Oregon Revised Statues. The City of Tigard,which is located entirely within an Urban Growth Boundary, therefore contains no agricultural land according to the.definition of Statewide Planning Goal 3. However, the City of Tigard supports the efficient use of urban land within its city limits to help preserve designated farm lands in rural areas. By encouraging compact growth within the city,Tigard can help to slow urban expansion into rural areas. Chapter 14, Urbanization, discusses appropriate and timely urban expansion. • 3-1 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • FOREST LANDS 0 regon Statewide Planning Goal 4: Forest Lands, requires local governments to "to conserve forest lands by maintaining the forest land base and to protect the state's forest economy by making possible economically efficient forest practices that assure the continuous growing and harvesting of forest tree species as the leading use on forest land consistent with sound management of soil, air,water, and fish and wildlife resources and to provide for recreational opportunities and agriculture." Land is considered forest land only if it was acknowledged as such when Goal 4 was adopted. The City of Tigard has not identified any forest lands within its city limits, therefore contains no commercial forestry land. For this reason, the City of Tigard has not adopted any goals or policies related to commer- cial forestry. However, the City of Tigard recognizes the importance of the management and preservation of urban trees and has adopted goals and policies pertaining to trees (see Chapter 2:Land Use and Chapter 5: Natural Resources). 4-1 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • Exhibit B Agenda Item: Hearing Date: November 5,2007 Time: 7:00 PM .

BACKGROUND INFORMATION • Project History The Tigard Comprehensive Plan is the primary document that guides land use decisions within the community. It outlines goals, policies, and recommended action measures that are intended to reflect the community's values and aspirations for a broad range of matters relating to land use planning and growth management. It also aims to organize and coordinate the relationships between people, land, resources, and facilities to meet the current and future needs of Tigard. The Tigard Comprehensive Plan is required by State law and must conform to 12 of the 19 Oregon Statewide Planning Goals. Land development and related activities, including the City's development codes, also must be consistent with adopted Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. It is now seven years beyond the year 2000 planning horizon of the City's 1983 Comprehensive Plan. Tigard has grown dramatically since 1983, from 18,379 residents to 46,300 today. Jobs and business activity have grown just as fast. Although minor updates have taken place over the years, the 1983 Plan, in many ways, does not reflect current and projected community conditions. For this reason, it is necessary to undertake a thorough update. This is important to ensure the Plan remains a viable tool for decision-makers and citizens to use when seeking policy direction regarding land use and Tigard's future. For this reason, the Tigard City Council has made it a goal to update the Comprehensive Plan. The first step in updating the Tigard Comprehensive Plan involved City staff developing a fact base to inform the update. The result was the Tigard 2007 resource document completed in February 2007. Key findings from Tigard 2007, combined with community issues and values, form the basis for Plan goals, policies, and recommended action measures. Community issues and values were identified through the community's visioning process and a number of surveys completed over the last several years. The second step involved community volunteers and stakeholders coming together to develop draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures. These Policy Interest Teams have been meeting over the past several months to discuss Comprehensive Plan topics in which they share an interest. City Department Review Teams then review and provide comment on the work of the policy interest teams. These final draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures are then forwarded to the Planning Commission to begin the legislative process. The final step is the legislative process. Since each of the Policy Interest Teams are moving at their own pace, Staff will be bringing a series of Comprehensive Plan Amendments (CPA) through the legislative process over the next several months. Each CPA will correspond to a Statewide Planning Goal that is applicable to Tigard. The CPA will strike the appropriate language from the existing plan and replace the language with an updated chapter that addresses that particular Statewide Planning Goal. The chapter before the Planning Commission tonight is Public Facilities and Services (Goal 11). The Planning Commission held a workshop on October 1 to discuss the draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures that were formulated based on the input from the policy interest and department review teams. At the Planning Commission workshop, the following changes were requested (also found in Exhibit A with deleted text as strikeetrta and added text underlined): STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 2 OF 19 • • Section 1: Stormwater Managment The Planning Commission inquired about the intent of Recommended Action Measures i and ii and requested that the mandatory language be removed. The Commission also felt that combining the two statements would make it more useful. i. Adopt mandatory natural resource and habitat friendly development standards that utilize incentives for developers to incorporate green concepts into their design. Section 2: Water Supply and Distribution The Planning Commission felt that Policy 1 needed to show a sense of immediacy without including a timeline. The agreed upon solution was to change the Policy to read: 8. The City shall prioritize securing an interest in a high quality, long-term water supply,which is financially feasible and reliable, to serve the Tigard Water Service Area. The Planning Commission inquired about a fluoridated water supply and requested that a Recommended Action Measure be added to assess the community's attitude on a fluoridated supply. x. Survey the community to gauge their attitude regarding a fluoridated water supply. Section 3: Wastewater Management No changes were requested by the Planning Commission. Section 4: Community Facilities No changes were requested by the Planning Commission. Section 5: Franchise Utilities The Planning Commission discussed the feasibility of a City funded wireless internet system, the need to limit visual impacts of wireless communication towers, and the need to stay informed of emerging technologies to ensure the City is positioned to effectively manage franchise utilities into the future. The Commission asked for the following Policies to be added: 5. The City shall manage the siting of wireless communication towers to minimize visual impacts on the community. 6. The City shall monitor emerging technologies to effectively manage franchise agreements into the future. And the following Recommended Action Measure: iv. Research the feasibility of and survey the community support for a City-owned wireless internet cloud. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 3 OF 19 • Additionally, staff recommends a few minor word changes to the proposed amendment since the Planning Commission workshop. These recommendations are based on feedback from the City Council at the public hearing for earlier Comprehensive Plan update amendments. For example, the Council prefers the word inform over educate and require over ensure. For the sake of timeliness, staff feels these changes should be made at the Planning Commission level so the same changes do not continually need to be made at the Council hearings. The following changes are recommended: Section 1: Stormwater Managment 5. The City shall cn3ure require the stormwater management system to comply with all applicable federal, state, and regional regulations and programs. 7. The City shall encourage low impact development practices and green street concepts other measures that reduce the amount of and/or treat stormwater runoff at the source. iii. Review and modify the Community Development Code, as needed, to ensure include effective regulations arc in place to implement the stormwater management goals and policies. vi. Develop partnerships to produce and distribute educational informational materials that outline the benefits of low impact development practices and green street concepts. Section 2: Water Supply and Distribution 11.2 Ensure Secure a reliable, high quality water supply to meet the existing and future needs of the community. 4. T he City shall coordinate with Tualatin Valley Water District to ewe require adequate supply and pressure to meet consumption and fire protection needs for the portion of Tigard served by the District. 9. The City shall encourage water conservation through education informational programs and maintenance of the system. vi. Continue producing and distributing educational informational materials related to water supply and conservation. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 4 OF 19 40 • Section 3: Wastewater Management 3. The City shall ensure require the wastewater management system to comply with all applicable federal, state, and regional regulations and programs. 7. The City shall ensure require wastewater fees are to be adequate to fund the operations and maintenance of the system. Section 4: Community Facilities 11.4 Ensure Maintain adequate public facilities and services to meet the health, safety, education, and leisure needs of all Tigard residents. 6. The City shall ensure require library services that are accessible to the community and are sufficient to meet user demands. 9. The City shall ensure require the Senior Center is to be accessible and available to serve the needs of the aging population in the community. vi. Work with Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue to educ-ftre inform the community about the risks of urban interface wildfire. Section 5: Franchise Utilities 11.5 Ensure Private utilities provide the needed energy and communication services for the community. Proposal Description The primary intent of the proposed update is to ensure the Comprehensive Plan remains a viable tool for decision-makers. By updating the Comprehensive Plan, the City will ensure it is in compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, plans, and programs. As importantly, the update will also ensure the Comprehensive Plan reflects current community conditions and values. This amendment is part of a series of amendments that will update the Comprehensive Plan in its entirety. This amendment will update Statewide Planning Goals 11 with goals, policies, and recommended action measures that will serve as the "legislative foundation" in regards to public . facilities and services. Land use actions and amendments to the Tigard Development Code will be based on the new language included in this amendment. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION • CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 5 OF 19 • • Below is an explanation of the terms that create the "legislative foundation": Goal Definition - A general statement indicating a desired end or the direction the City will follow to achieve that end. Obligation -The City cannot take action which violates a goal statement unless: 1. Action is being taken which clearly supports another goal. 2. There are findings indicating the goal being supported takes precedence (in the particular case) over another. Policy Definition - A statement identifying Tigard's position and a definitive course of action. Policies are more specific than goals. They often identify the City's position in regard to implementing goals. However, they are not the only actions the City can take to accomplish goals. Obligation - The City must follow relevant policy statements when amending the Comprehensive Plan, or developing other plans or ordinances which affect land use. To amend the Comprehensive Plan, the City must show consistency with the Statewide Land Use Goals. Such an amendment must take place following prescribed procedures prior to taking an action that would otherwise violate a Plan policy. Recommended Action Measures Definition - A statement which outlines a specific City project or standard, which if executed, would implement goals and policies. Recommended action measures also refer to specific projects, standards, or courses of action the City desires other jurisdictions to take in regard to specific issues. These statements also define the relationship the City desires to have with other jurisdictions and agencies in implementing Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. Obligation - Completion of projects, adoption of standards, or the creation of certain relationships or agreements with other jurisdictions and agencies, will depend on a number of factors such as citizen priorities, finances, staff availability, etc. The City should periodically review and prioritize recommended action measures based on current circumstances, community needs and the City's goal and policy obligations. These statements are suggestions to future City decision- makers as ways to implement the goals and policies. The listing of recommended action measures in the plan does not obligate the City to accomplish them. Neither do recommended action measures impose obligations on applicants who request amendments or changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The list of recommended action measures is not exclusive. It may be added to or amended as conditions warrant. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 6 OF 19 • SECTION IV.

Findings: The proposal has complied with all notification requirements pursuant to Chapter 18.390.060 of the Tigard Community Development Code. This staff report was also available seven days in advance of the hearing pursuant to Chapter 18.390.070.E.b of the Tigard Community Development Code. Additionally, a Public Involvement Program for the Comprehensive Plan Update was developed in March 2006. This Program was reviewed and endorsed by the Committee for Citizen Involvement and the Planning Commission. The Program outlined the information, outreach methods, and involvement opportunities available to the citizens during the process. Information was distributed throughout the process via the project website, an interested parties listserv, Cityscape articles, press releases, articles in the local paper, and two project open houses. Outreach methods also included presentations to a number of civic organizations in the community, personal emails sent to groups and organizations, updates to City boards and commissions, presentations to high school students, and staff attendance at community events to pass out information. Involvement opportunities included two open houses, participation on a policy interest team, submitting written comments via the website, and attending the Planning Commission workshop. Additionally, the interested parties listsery and volunteers who signed up for the policy interest teams were provided notice of all meetings held regarding the Comprehensive Plan Update. As part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, public notice of this Planning Commission public hearing was sent to the interested parties list and published in the October 18, 2007 issue of The Times. Notice will be published again prior to the City Council public hearing. The notice invited public input and included the phone number of a contact person to answer STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 8 OF 19 S • questions. The notice also included the address of the City's webpage where the entire draft of the text changes could be viewed. Policy 2.1.2: The opportunities for citizen involvement provided by the City shall be appropriate to the scale of the planning effort and shall involve a broad cross-section of the community. Findings: As outlined above, the community was given multiple venues to get information and get involved. This included a number of articles in the Cityscape newsletter that is delivered to every household in Tigard. Staff also made a good faith effort to ensure a diversity of citizens and stakeholders were involved in the policy interest team meetings by not only soliciting volunteers, but by inviting organizations that share a common interest in that particular topic. Policy 2.1.3: The City shall ensure that information on land use planning issues is available in an understandable form for all interested citizens. Findings: Information regarding the topics included in this Comprehensive Plan Amendment was available in multiple locations in an understandable format for the duration of the process. This included paper and electronic copies that were available in the permit center and also on the website. Information was regularly sent to the project listsery and to the community volunteers who participated on the policy interest teams. Topic 3: Natural Features and Open Space Policy 3.4.2 The City shall: a. Protect fish and wildlife habitat along stream corridors by managing the riparian habitat and controlling erosion, and by requiring that areas of standing trees and natural vegetation along natural drainage course and waterways be maintained to the maximum extent possible; Findings: This policy is satisfied by the proposed amendment through Goal 11.1 and specifically Policies 1, 3, 6, and 7. The policies outline the City's approach to protecting water quality by requiring the stormwater system to comply with adopted plans and standards, promoting techniques to reduce stormwater run-off, and maintaining streams and wetlands in their natural state. By properly managing stormwater, erosion and water quality impacts associated with run- off can be reduced, thus helping to protect fish and wildlife habitat. Goal 11.3 and specifically Policies 1, 2, 3, and 5 also protect fish and wildlife habitat by protecting water quality. The policies outline the City's commitment to effectively managing a wastewater system that meets all adopted plans, standards, and regulations to minimize habitat impacts associated with wastewater. Topic 4: Air,Water, and Land Resources Quality Policy 4.2.1 All development within the Tigard Urban Planning area shall comply with applicable federal, state, and regional water quality standards, including those contained in the Clean Water Services Design and Construction Manual.

WHERE THE APPLICABLE STATE OR COUNTY HEALTH AGENCY HAS DECLARED THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL OR IMMINENT HEALTH HAZARD. Findings: This policy is satisfied by the proposed amendment through Goal 11.3 Policies 3 and 5. The policies outline the City's commitment to requiring annexation before providing City wastewater services and requiring the wastewater system to comply with regulations and programs that include declarations of a health hazard by State or County health agencies. Policy 10.2.2 IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF POLICY 10.2.1,THE EXTENSION OF SEWER LINES OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS SHALL NOT REDUCE THE CAPACITY BELOW THE REQUIRED LEVEL FOR AREAS WITHIN THE CITY. Findings: This policy is satisfied by the proposed amendment through Goal 11.3 Policies 2 and 3. The City works in partnership with Clean Water Services to plan and operate the wastewater system within the City of Tigard and also for the region. The adopted plans include build-out projections that outline the capacity of the appropriate infrastructure needed to maintain compliance with Clean Water Act permits. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment satisfies the applicable policies contained in the City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan. APPLICABLE METRO REGULATIONS: Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 3: Water Quality, Flood Management, and Fish/Wildlife Habitat Conservation - protect beneficial uses and functional values of water quality and flood management resources by limiting uses in these areas from development activities and protecting life and property from dangers associated with flooding. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PL-'.NNING GOAL 11 PAGE 13 OF 19 • • Findings: In 2002, the City of Tigard adopted Comprehensive Plan and Code Amendments to comply with Title 3 of Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan, which outlines water quality and flood management requirements for the region. The adopted standards were based on a unified program developed by local governments in the Tualatin Basin and implemented through Clean Water Services (CWS) Design & Construction Standards, which provides for vegetated stream corridor buffers up to 200 feet wide and mandating restoration of corridors in marginal or degraded condition. In addition, Clean Water Services, local cities, Washington County, Metro, and Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District, partnered on a parallel effort to develop the CWS Healthy Streams Plan (HSP), an updated watershed plan designed to enhance the functions of the Tualatin Basin surface water system and address the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act (ESA). The proposed amendment, specifically Goal 11.1 and its associated policies (see Exhibit A), will continue to ensure compliance with Title 3 requirements and standards. Policies 1, 2, and 3 provide clear direction that water quality is an important component of the community and the City will continue in collaboration on managing stormwater to meet water quality standards. The policies also outline the City's commitment to requiring new development and the entire system to meet or exceed federal, state, and regional standards for water quality as well as implement adopted plans. The remaining policies outline additional strategies the City will employ to improve the community's water quality and limit pollution from stormwater run-off. Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 13: Nature in Neighborhoods — conserve, protect, and restore a continuous ecologically viable streamside corridor system, from the streams' headwaters to their confluence with other streams and rivers, and with their flooplains in a manner that is integrated with upland wildlife habitat and with the surrounding urban landscape; and control and prevent water pollution for the protection of the public health and safety, and to maintain and improve water quality throughout the region. Findings: The multi-jurisdictional approach undertaken by Tualatin Basin jurisdictions was used to develop a program to meet Statewide Goal 5 requirements for inventorying riparian areas and wildlife habitat and to comply with Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 13 (the regional Nature in Neighborhoods program). The Tualatin Basin Fish and Wildlife Habitat Program was developed to complement Clean Water Services Design and Constructions Standards to protect the beneficial uses of water (including rivers, streams and creeks) within the Tualatin Basin. The proposed amendment, specifically Goal 11.1 and its associated policies (see Exhibit A), will continue to ensure compliance with Title 13 requirements and standards. Policies 1, 2, and 3 provide clear direction that water quality is an important component of the community and the City will continue in partnership with other jurisdictions to ensure water quality standards are being met and programs being implemented. Water quality is directly linked to protecting fish and wildlife habitat that depend upon streams, rivers, and wetlands. The remaining policies outline additional strategies the City will employ to improve the community's water quality and limit pollution from stormwater run-off. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment satisfies the applicable Metro regulations. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 14 OF 19 • THE STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS AND GUIDELINES ADOPTED UNDER OREGON REVISED STATUTES CHAPTER 197 Statewide Planning Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement: This goal outlines the citizen involvement requirement for adoption of Comprehensive Plans and changes to the Comprehensive Plan and implementing documents. Findings: This goal was met through an extensive public involvement process. A Public Involvement Program for the Comprehensive Plan Update was developed in March 2006. This Program was reviewed and endorsed by the Committee for Citizen Involvement and the Planning Commission. The Program outlined the information, outreach methods, and involvement opportunities available to the citizens during the process. Information was distributed throughout the process via the project website, an interested parties listserv, Cityscape articles, press releases, articles in the local paper, and two project open houses. Outreach methods also included presentations to a number of civic organizations in the community, personal emails sent to groups and organizations, updates to City boards and commissions, presentations to high school students, and staff attendance at community events to pass out information. Involvement opportunities included two open houses, participation on a policy interest team, submitting written comments via the website, and attending the Planning Commission workshop. Additionally, the interested parties listsery and volunteers who signed up for the policy interest teams were provided notice of all meetings held regarding the Comprehensive Plan Update. As part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, public notice of this Planning Commission public hearing was sent to the interested parties list and published in the October 18, 2007 issue of The Times (in accordance with Tigard Development Code Chapter 18.390). Notice will be published again prior to the City Council public hearing.The notice invited public input and included the phone number of a contact person to answer questions. The notice also included the address of the City's webpage where the entire draft of the text changes could be viewed. Statewide Planning Goal 2- Land Use Planning: This goal outlines the land use planning process and policy framework. The Comprehensive Plan was acknowledged by DLCD as being consistent with the statewide planning goals. Findings: The proposed amendment to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan is being processed as a Type IV procedure, which requires any applicable statewide planning goals, federal or state statutes or regulations, Metro regulations, comprehensive plan policies, and City's implementing ordinances, be addressed as part of the decision-making process. Notice was provided to DLCD 45 days prior to the first scheduled public hearing as required. All applicable review criteria have been addressed within this staff report; therefore, the requirements of Goal 2 have been met. Statewide Planning Goal S- Natural Resources This goal requires the inventory and protection of natural resources, open spaces, historic areas and sites. • STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 15 OF 19 • • S Findings: The proposed amendment is consistent with this goal as the proposed changes direct the City to protect water quality and function that can lead to improved habitat conditions. This policy direction is an enhancement to Goal 5 protections already in place in the community. Proposed Goal 11.1 and its associated policies (see Exhibit A), provide clear direction that water quality is an important component of the community and the City will continue in partnership with other jurisdictions to ensure water quality standards are being met and programs being implemented. These policies aim to minimize erosion, limit stormwater run-off impacts, inform the public about personal actions that cause water quality problems, and allow the natural function of riparian systems. All of these policies have the ability to improve water quality in the community and thus improve riparian and aquatic habitats. Statewide Planning Goal 6:Air, Water, and Land Resources Quality To maintain and improve the quality of the air,water,and land resources of the state. Findings: The proposed amendment is consistent with this goal as the proposed changes direct the City to manage public facilities to protect water quality and function. Proposed Goal 11.1 and its associated policies (see Exhibit A), provide clear direction that water quality is an important component of the community and the City will continue in partnership with other jurisdictions to ensure water quality standards are being met and programs being implemented. These policies aim to minimize erosion, limit stormwater run-off impacts, inform the public about personal actions that cause water quality problems, and allow the natural function of riparian systems. All of these policies have the ability to improve water quality in the community. Statewide Planning Goal 11:Public Facilities and Services To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. Findings: Current Comprehensive Plan Policies relating to Statewide Planning Goal 11 will be deleted and replaced in their entirety by proposed amendment Goals 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, and 11.5 and their associated Policies (see Exhibit A). This update will ensure the City is in compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, plans, and programs. This update will also ensure continued compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 11 as the new goals and policies reflect current community conditions and values. The new goals and policies have been developed through a citizen involvement effort, reviewed by City staff, reviewed by affected agencies, and reviewed by the Planning Commission at an October 1,2007 workshop. Statewide Planning Goal 14: Utbanization To provide for an orderly and efficient transition form rural to urban land use, to accommodate urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure efficient use of land, and to provide for livable communities. Findings: The proposed amendment is consistent with this goal as it provides policy direction that intends to ensure the orderly and efficient delivery of public facilities and services through proper planning and implementation. The policies also require an appropriate level of public facilities and services to accommodate urban population and employment. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 16 OF 19 • CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals. SECTION VI. ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF COMMENTS The City of Tigard's Building Division, Engineering Division, Current Planning Division, Library Department, Administrative Department, Financial and Information Technology Departments, Public Works Department, and Police Department has had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not respond. CONCLUSION: Based on no response from City staff, staff fords the proposed amendment does not interfere with the best interests of the City. SECTION VII. OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not respond: Beaverton School District City of Durham City of Beaverton City of King City City of Lake Oswego City of Portland City of Tualatin Washington County, Department of Land Use and Transportation Metro Land Use and Planning Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1, District 2A Oregon Public Utilities Commission Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J TriMet Transit Development Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue The Tualatin Valley Water District had an opportunity to review this proposal and have no objections. The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (see Exhibit B) had an opportunity to review this proposal and offered the following comments: Chapter 7 references multiple .documents (for example, the Public Facilities Plan, Stormwater Management Plan, TVWD Water Master Plan/Management Plan, etc.). It would be helpful if the dates of these documents could be listed so that it is clear which version of these documents were used in the creation of this update of the comprehensive plan and if they have been adopted by ordinance. Findings: Staff has added dates to the following document titles: Public Facility Plan (1991), CW/S • STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 17 OF 19 • • Stormwater Management Plan (2006), Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (1997), CWS Design and Construction Standards (2007), TVWD Water Master Plan/Management Plan (2007), Water Distribution Hydraulic Study (2000) CWS Collection System Master Plan Update (2000). The Recommended Action Measure i. listed under Goal 11.1 is confusing for us. Please clarify what, "beyond voluntary" means. Findings:The proposed amendment has been edited since DLCD review and now reads: i. Adopt mandatory natural resource and habitat friendly development standards that utilize incentives for developers to incorporate green concepts into their design. Their request has been satisfied and no further changes are recommended. In Section 2: Water Supply and Distribution, Key Findings, it states that "The Water Demand Forecast Report (2006) projects population growth from 12,053 to 17,725 persons in the Tigard Water Service Area. Is this consistent with the coordinated population forecast for the City for planning purposes? Findings: The referenced population projection addresses the Tigard Water Service Area, which is not coincidental with Tigard city limits. The projection is not consistent with a coordinated population forecast for land use planning purposes and for the sake of eliminating confusion; staff recommends the removal of the projections from the Key Findings. The removal would not affect the policy direction of the proposed amendment. • The Water Demand Forecast Report(2006)projects population growth from 12,053 to 17,725 persons future annual water demand could range from 2.732 to 3.229 million gallons in the Tigard Water Service Area. + Future annual water demand could range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons. In the Recommended Action Measures for Goal 11.4, the City recommends "Review and revise the Community Development Code to limit or remove barriers to constructing new schools and fire stations. Does the current Development Code prevent schools or fire stations? Shouldn't these facilities have the same development standards as other development? Findings: The current Development Code does not prevent schools or fire stations. They are either permitted outright or conditionally permitted in some, but not all, zoning districts. These facilities should have the same development standards and the intention of the language was to remove locational barriers and not all development standards. Facility location is an important attribute for public safety providers to consider when striving to meet response-time targets. Staff recommends the following change to the language: iii. Review a ae the Community Development Code to identify locational liti er remove barriers to constructing new schools and fire stations. • STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION • CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 18 OF 19 • • Clean Water Services (see Exhibit C) had an opportunity to review this proposal and offered the following comments: We recommend following the relevant provisions of the current Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Tigard and Clean Water Services and the relevant provisions of the current Design and Construction Standards (currently R&O 07-20) for all issues relating to development, vegetated corridors, erosion control, and preservation of wetlands, natural drainage ways, and enhancements thereof. Findings: Although the proposed amendment does not directly reference the documents, Policy 2 and 3 under Goal 11.3 and Policies 2 and 3 under Goal 11.1 state the City's commitment to requiring compliance with the Design and Construction Standards. Additionally, the policies state the City's commitment to collaborating in the management of stormwater and wastewater systems and programs, which are outlined in the IGA. References to the Design and Construction are more appropriate in the Community Development Code and have been adopted into the Code. Therefore, staff recommends no changes to the policy language at this time. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the comments and subsequent edits to the proposed amendment are in the best interest of the City and recommends inclusion of the changes in the language of this proposal. SECTION VIII. CONCLUSION The proposed changes comply with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals, Metro regulations, the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, and applicable provisions of the City's implementing ordinances. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Tigard City Council as determined through the public hearing process.

The proposed language was approved and recommended by the Planning Commission at a November 5th public hearing. Staff will discuss the proposed language; answer questions, and provide any requested information that will help assist Council in making its decision at the December public hearing. Throughout the process of working with citizens, city departments, and the Planning Commission, staff has stressed that proposed Comprehensive Plan language must be capable of being implemented and in the interests of the whole community. Staff has worked closely with citizen stakeholders to explain the implications of certain policy recommendations. Most of the time, the process has achieved a consensus outcome. In staff's role as facilitators, we presented the best professional advice possible to all involved. Sometimes this professional advice was contrary to the wishes of the citizens, but staff has not unilaterally changed or removed citizen recommendations. Rather, whether or not to amend citizen recommendations is the role of the Planning Commission to recommend and the City Council to decide upon. The Planning Commission, at a worksession, requested a few minor changes be made before Exhibit D CPA2007-00004 Memo to Council 1 Nov 6,2007 • • bringing the amendment back for public hearing. These requested changes are found below. No further changes were made to the Public Facilities and Services chapter at the public hearing and the language was approved as presented. Section 1: Stormwater Managment The Planning Commission inquired about the intent of Recommended Action Measures i and ii and requested that the mandatory language be removed. The Commission also felt that combining the two statements would make it more useful. i. Adopt ma-ndatory natural resource and habitat friendly development standards that utilize incentives for developers to incorporate green concepts into their design. Section 2: Water Supply and Distribution The Planning Commission felt that Policy 1 needed to show a sense of immediacy without including a timeline. The agreed upon solution was to change the Policy to read: 1. The City shall prioritize securing an interest in a high quality, long-term water supply, which is financially feasible and reliable, to serve the Tigard Water Service Area. The Planning Commission inquired about a fluoridated water supply and requested that a Recommended Action Measure be added to assess the community's attitude on a fluoridated supply. - x. Survey the community to gauge their attitude regarding a fluoridated water supply. Section 3: Wastewater Management No changes were requested by the Planning Commission. Section 4: Community Facilities No changes were requested by the Planning Commission. Section 5: Franchise Utilities The Planning Commission discussed the feasibility of a City funded wireless internet system, the need to limit visual impacts of wireless communication towers, and the need to stay Exhibit D CPA2007-00004 Memo to Council 2 Nov 6,2007 • • v informed of emerging technologies to ensure the City is positioned to effectively manage franchise utilities into the future. The Commission asked for the following Policies to be added: 5. The City shall manage the siting of wireless communication towers to minimize visual impacts on the community. 6. The City shall monitor emerging technologies to effectively manage franchise agreements into the future. _ And the following Recommended Action Measure: iv. Research the feasibility of and survey the community support for a City-owned wireless internet cloud. By adopting the language in the amendment, the City will take a step towards achieving the community's vision for a future where essential public facilities and services are readily available to serve the needs of the community; recognizing the importance of not only planning for and funding the facilities, but ensuring their continued maintenance; requiring new development to pay their fair share for the facilities and services; the public library, senior center, public safety, and public schools are especially considered vital components of a high quality, livable community; and expected population growth in the region will place increased pressure on existing public facilities and services. Exhibit D CPA2007-00004 Memo to Council 3 Nov 6,2007 • • Definitions and Obligations of Goals, Policies, and Recommended Action Measures Tigard Comprehensive Plan Comprehensive plan goals, policies, and recommended action measures have different definitions and impart different obligations to decision makers. They also relate differently to one another. The following describes goals, policies, and recommended action measures in greater detail. Goals, policies and recommended action measures identify the intent of the City to accomplish certain results. The goals and policies relate to one another and are obligations the City wishes to assume. Recommended action measures support the obligations to achieve a desired end, but do not signify an obligation themselves. Goal Definition - A general statement indicating a desired end or the direction the City will follow to achieve that end. Obligation - The City cannot take action which violates a goal statement unless: 1. Action is being taken which clearly supports another goal. 2. There are findings indicating the goal being supported takes precedence (in the particular case) over another. Policy Definition - A statement identifying Tigard's position and a definitive course of action. Policies are more specific than goals. They often identify the City's position in regard to implementing goals. However, they are not the only actions the City can take to accomplish goals. Obligation - The City must follow relevant policy statements when amending the Comprehensive Plan, or developing other plans or ordinances which affect land use. To amend the Comprehensive Plan, the City must show consistency with the Statewide Land Use Goals. Such an amendment must take place following prescribed procedures prior to taking an action that would otherwise violate a Plan policy. Recommended Action Measures Definition - A statement which outlines a specific City project or standard which, if executed, would implement goals and policies. Recommended action measures also refer to specific projects, standards, or courses of action the City desires other jurisdictions to take in regard to specific issues. Exhibit D CPA2007-00004 Memo to Council 4 Nov 6,2007 • • These statements also define the relationship the City desires to have with other jurisdictions and agencies in implementing Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. Obligation - Completion of projects, adoption of standards, or the creation of certain relationships or agreements with other jurisdictions and agencies, will depend on a number of factors such as citizen priorities, finances, staff availability, etc. The City should periodically review and prioritize recommended action measures based on current circumstances, community needs, and the City's goal and policy obligations. These statements are suggestions to future City decision-makers as ways to implement the goals and policies. The listing of recommended action measures in the plan does not obligate the City to accomplish them. Neither . do recommended action measures impose obligations on applicants who request amendments or changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The list of recommended action measures is not exclusive. It may be added to, or amended, as conditions warrant. • Exhibit D CPA2007-00004 Memo to Council 5 Nov 6,2007 E Darren Wyss From: Darren Wyss Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 11:31 AM To: 'Gretchen Buehner; Councilmail Councilmail Cc: Ron Bunch; Craig Prosser; Cathy Wheatley Subject: RE: comp plan -public facilities Attachments: 12-4-07 CC Hearing CPA2007-00002 Exhibit A.pdf This message is in response to a couple of questions from Councilor Buehner. Councilor Buehner, Sorry for the delayed response to your questions. I was out of the office yesterday. Below is the information that you requested: 1. The Planning Commission was discussing mandatory habitat-friendly development standards language that was contained in a Recommended Action Measure. The Commissioners were uncomfortable with the word mandatory and this is when the issue of pervious pavement and CWS credits came up. The Policy Interest Team had written the word mandatory into the language as we currently have voluntary standards that were adopted in December 2006 as a result of the Goal 5 work completed by the Tualatin Basin Partners for Natural Places and the PIT was interested in going beyond voluntary. The word mandatory was eventually removed by the Planning Commission. Again, this language is contained in a Recommended Action Measure, whereas Policy 7 under Goal 11.1 says the City will encourage these -practices. None of the language identifies which standards or what, if any, incentives would be looked at or used, thus Staff is comfortable with the language and recommends it remain. Staff advised the Planning Commission that the issue of pervious pavement and CWS credits would need to be one of the issues re-visited before any changes to the City standards were adopted or incentives provided. This would be the next step after the adoption of updated Comp Plan language and would include a thorough review with CWS and the community, as well as direction from the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. One of the Commissioners asked the City's position on fluoridating the water supply. This question was based on a dentist being able to tell that this Commissioner grew up with fluoridated water based on the Commissioner's age and exceptional health of the teeth. Staff responded that the City currently receives a small portion of fluoridated water from the Joint Water Commission through a joint connection with Beaverton during periods of high water demand. This was the only information that Staff could provide on the issue. The Planning Commission decided that it would be interesting to see what the community's attitude would be on the issue and added a Recommended Action Measure to survey the community. There are many variables that would need to be taken into consideration before any action on fluoridation ever took place, but Staff has no issue with simply asking the question and recommends leaving the language. Regarding the Hazards chapter, the language has not been revised since the workshop as the Council must take action during a public hearing. The updated chapter and the language to be deleted are attached. Hope this adequately answers your questions. See you this evening.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 5,2007—Page 2 • • Staff recommends a few minor word changes based on another CPA that has gone before the City Council. Council feedback indicated their preference for the word "require" over"ensure," "inform" over"educate," and to not single out green concepts, but keep the wording as other measures.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 1 OF 19 ! • SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History The Tigard Comprehensive Plan is the primary document that guides land use decisions within the community. It outlines goals, policies, and recommended action measures that are intended to • reflect the community's values and aspirations for a broad range of matters relating to land use planning and growth management. It also aims to organize and coordinate the relationships between people, land, resources, and facilities to meet the current and future needs of Tigard. The Tigard Comprehensive Plan is required by State law and must conform to 12 of the 19 Oregon Statewide Planning Goals. Land development and related activities, including the City's development codes, also must be consistent with adopted Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. It is now seven years beyond the year 2000 planning horizon of the City's 1983 Comprehensive Plan. Tigard has grown dramatically since 1983, from 18,379 residents to 46,300 today. Jobs and business activity have grown just as fast. Although minor updates have taken place over the years, the 1983 Plan, in many ways, does not reflect current and projected community conditions. For this reason, it is necessary to undertake a thorough update. This is important to ensure the Plan remains a viable tool for decision-makers and citizens to use when seeking policy direction regarding land use and Tigard's future. For this reason, the Tigard City Council has made it a goal to update the Comprehensive Plan. The first step in updating the Tigard Comprehensive Plan involved City staff developing a fact base to inform the update. The result was the Tigard 2007 resource document completed in February 2007. Key findings from Tigard 2007, combined with community issues and values, form the basis for Plan goals, policies, and recommended action measures. Community issues and values were identified through the community's visioning process and a number of surveys completed over the last several years. The second step involved community volunteers and stakeholders coming together to develop draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures. These Policy Interest Teams have been meeting over the past several months to discuss Comprehensive Plan topics in which they share an interest. City Department Review Teams then review and provide comment on the work of the policy interest teams. These final draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures are then forwarded to the Planning Commission to begin the legislative process. The final step is the legislative process. Since each of the Policy Interest Teams are moving at their own pace, Staff will be bringing a series of Comprehensive Plan Amendments (CPA) through the legislative process over the next several months. Each CPA will correspond to a Statewide Planning Goal that is applicable to Tigard. The CPA will strike the appropriate language from the existing plan and replace the language with an updated chapter that addresses that particular Statewide Planning Goal. The chapter before the Planning Commission tonight is Public Facilities and Services (Goal 11). The Planning Commission held a workshop on October 1 to discuss the draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures that were formulated based on the input from the policy interest and department review teams. At the Planning Commission workshop, the following changes were requested (also found in Exhibit A with deleted text as rtrikcouts and added text underlined): STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 2 OF 19 S I Section 1: Stormwater Managment The. Planning Commission inquired about the intent of Recommended Action Measures i and ii and.requested-that the mandatory language be removed. The Commission also felt that combining the two statements would make it more useful. i. Adopt mandatary natural resource and habitat friendly development standards that utilize • incentives for developers to incorporate green concepts into their design. ii. Provide incentives for developers to incorporate green concepts into their design. Section 2: Water Supply and Distribution The Planning Commission felt that Policy 1 needed to show a sense of immediacy without including a timeline. The agreed upon solution was to change-the Policy to read: 8. The City shall prioritize securing an interest in,a high quality,long-term water supply, which is financially feasible and reliable, to serve the Tigard Water Service Area. The Planning Commission inquired about a fluoridated water supply and requested that a Recommended Action Measure be added to assess the community's attitude on a fluoridated supply. x. Survey the community to gauge their attitude regarding a fluoridated water supply. • Section 3: Wastewater Management No changes were requested by the Planning Commission. Section 4: Community Facilities No changes were requested by the Planning Commission. Section 5: Franchise Utilities The Planning Commission discussed the feasibility of a City funded wireless internet system, the need to limit visual impacts of wireless communication towers, and the need to stay informed of emerging technologies to ensure the City is positioned to effectively manage franchise utilities into the future. The Commission asked for the following Policies to be added: 5. The City shall manage the siting of wireless communication towers to minimize visual impacts on the community. 6. The City shall monitor emerging technologies to effectively manage franchise agreements into the future. And the following Recommended Action Measure: iv. Research the feasibility of and survey the community support for a City-owned wireless internet cloud. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004'STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 3 OF 19 • Additionally, staff recommends a few minor word changes to the proposed amendment since the Planning Commission workshop. These recommendations are based on feedback from the City Council at the public hearing for earlier Comprehensive Plan update amendments. For example, the Council prefers the word inform over educate and require over ensure. For the sake of timeliness, staff feels these changes should be made at the Planning Commission level so the same changes do not continually need to be made at the Council hearings. The following changes are recommended: Section 1: Stormwater Managment 5. The City shall ensure require the stormwater management system to comply with all applicable federal, state, and regional regulations and programs. 7. The City shall encourage low impact development practices and green street concepts other measures that reduce the amount of and/or treat stormwater runoff at the source. iii. Review and modify the Community Development Code, as needed, to eitstife include effective regulations are in place to implement the stormwater management goals and policies. vi. Develop partnerships to produce and distribute educational informational materials that outline the benefits of low impact development practices and green street concepts. Section 2: Water Supply and Distribution 11.2 Ensure Secure'a reliable, high quality water supply to meet the existing and future needs of the community. 4. T he City shall coordinate with Tualatin Valley Water District to ensure require adequate supply and pressure to meet consumption and fire protection needs for the portion of Tigard served by the District. • 9. The City shall encourage water conservation through education informational programs and maintenance of the system. vi. Continue producing and distributing edueienal informational materials related to water supply and conservation. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 4 OF 19 • Section 3: Wastewater Management 3. The City shall ensure require the wastewater management system to comply with all applicable federal, state, and regional regulations and programs. 7. The City shall ensure require wastewater fees tire to be adequate to fund the operations and maintenance of the system. • Section 4: Community Facilities 11.4 €assure Maintain adequate public facilities and services to meet the health, safety, education, and leisure needs of all Tigard residents. 6. The City shall ensure require library services that are accessible to the community and are sufficient to meet user demands. 9. The City shall ensure require the Senior Center is to be accessible and available to serve the needs of the aging population in the community. vi. Work with Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue to educate inform the community about the risks of urban interface wildfire. Section 5: Franchise Utilities 11.5 Ensure Private utilities provide the needed energy and communication services for the community. Proposal Description The primary intent of the proposed update is to ensure the Comprehensive Plan remains a viable. tool for decision-makers. By updating the Comprehensive Plan, the City will ensure it is in compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, plans, and programs. As importantly, the update will also ensure the Comprehensive Plan reflects current community conditions and values. • This amendment is part of a series of amendments that will update the Comprehensive Plan in its entirety. This amendment will update Statewide Planning Goals 11 with goals, policies, and recommended action measures that will serve as the "legislative foundation" in regards to public facilities and services. Land use actions and amendments to the Tigard Development Code will be based on the new language included in this amendment. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 5 OF 19 • • Below is an explanation of the terms that create the "legislative foundation": Goal Definition - A general statement indicating a desired end or the direction the City will follow to achieve that end. Obligation -The City cannot take action which violates a goal statement unless: 1. Action is being taken which clearly supports another goal. 2. There are findings indicating the goal being supported takes precedence (in the particular case) over another. Policy Definition - A statement identifying Tigard's position and a definitive course of action. Policies are more specific than goals. They often identify the City's position in regard to implementing goals. However, they are not the only actions the City can take to accomplish goals. Obligation - The City must follow relevant policy statements when amending the Comprehensive Plan, or developing other plans or ordinances which affect land use. To amend the Comprehensive Plan, the City must show consistency with the Statewide Land Use Goals. Such an amendment must take place following prescribed procedures prior to taking an action that would otherwise violate a Plan policy. Recommended Action Measures Definition - A statement which outlines a specific City project or standard, which if executed, would implement goals and policies. Recommended action measures also refer to specific projects, standards, or courses of action the City desires other jurisdictions to take in regard to specific issues. These statements also define the relationship the City desires to have with other jurisdictions and agencies in implementing Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. Obligation - Completion of projects, adoption of standards, or the creation of certain relationships or agreements with other jurisdictions and agencies, will depend on a number of factors such as citizen priorities, finances, staff availability, etc. The City should periodically review and prioritize recommended action measures based on current circumstances, community needs and the City's goal and policy obligations. These statements are suggestions to future City decision- makers as ways to implement the goals and policies. The listing of recommended action measures in the plan does not obligate the City to accomplish them. Neither do recommended action measures impose obligations on applicants who request amendments or changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The list of recommended action measures is not exclusive. It may be added to or amended as conditions warrant. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 6 OF 19 • • SECTION IV.

Findings: This policy is satisfied by the proposed amendment through Goal 11.3 Policies 2 and 3. The City works in partnership with Clean Water Services to plan and operate the wastewater system within the City of Tigard and also for the region. The adopted plans include build-out projections that outline the capacity of the appropriate infrastructure needed to maintain compliance with Clean Water Act permits. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment satisfies the applicable policies contained in the City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan. APPLICABLE METRO REGULATIONS: Metro_ Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 3: Water Quality, Flood Management, and Fish/Wildlife Habitat Conservation - protect beneficial uses and functional values of water quality and flood management resources by limiting uses in these areas: from development activities and protecting life and property from dangers associated with flooding. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA•2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 13 OF 19 • • Findings: In 2002, the City of Tigard adopted Comprehensive Plan and Code Amendments to comply with Title 3 of Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan, which outlines water quality and flood management requirements for the region. The adopted standards were based on a unified program developed by local governments in the Tualatin Basin and implemented through Clean Water Services (CWS) Design & Construction Standards, which provides for vegetated stream corridor buffers up to 200 feet wide and mandating restoration of corridors in marginal or degraded condition. In addition, Clean Water Services, local cities, Washington County, Metro, and Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District, partnered on a parallel effort to develop the CWS Healthy Streams Plan • (HSP), an updated watershed plan designed to enhance the functions of the Tualatin Basin surface water system and address the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act (ESA). The proposed amendment, specifically Goal 11.1 and its associated policies (see Exhibit A), will continue to ensure compliance with Title 3 requirements and standards. Policies 1, 2, and 3 provide clear direction that water quality is an important component of the community and the City will continue in collaboration on managing stormwater to meet water quality standards. The policies also outline the City's commitment to requiring new development and the entire system to meet or exceed federal, state, and regional standards for water quality as well as implement adopted plans. The remaining policies outline additional strategies the City will employ to improve the community's water quality and limit pollution from stormwater run-off. Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 13: Nature in Neighborhoods — conserve, protect, and restore a continuous ecologically viable streamside corridor system, from the streams' headwaters to their confluence with other streams and rivers, and with their flooplains in a manner that is integrated with upland wildlife habitat and with the surrounding urban landscape; and control and prevent water pollution for the protection of the public health and safety, and to maintain and improve water quality throughout the region. Findings: The multi-jurisdictional approach undertaken by Tualatin Basin jurisdictions was used to develop a program to meet Statewide Goal 5 requirements for inventorying riparian areas and wildlife habitat and to comply with Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 13 (the regional Nature in Neighborhoods program). The Tualatin Basin Fish and Wildlife Habitat Program was developed to complement Clean Water Services Design and Constructions Standards to protect the beneficial uses of water (including rivers, streams and creeks) within the Tualatin Basin. The proposed amendment, specifically Goal 11.1 and its associated policies (see Exhibit A), will continue to ensure compliance with Title 13 requirements and standards. Policies 1, 2, and 3 provide clear direction that water quality is an important component of the community and the City will continue in partnership with other jurisdictions to ensure water quality standards are being met and programs being implemented. Water quality is directly linked to protecting fish and wildlife habitat that depend upon streams, rivers, and wetlands. The remaining policies outline additional strategies the City will employ to improve the community's water quality and limit pollution from stormwater run-off. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment satisfies the applicable Metro regulations. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 14 OF 19 • • THE STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS AND GUIDELINES ADOPTED UNDER OREGON REVISED STATUTES CHAPTER 197 Statewide Planning Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement: This goal outlines the citizen involvement requirement for adoption of Comprehensive Plans and changes to the Comprehensive Plan and implementing documents. Findings: This goal was met through an extensive public involvement process. A Public Involvement Program for the Comprehensive Plan Update was developed in March 2006. This Program was reviewed and endorsed by the Committee for Citizen Involvement and the Planning Commission. The Program outlined the information, outreach methods, and involvement opportunities available to the citizens during the process. Information was distributed throughout the process via the project website, an interested parties listserv,-Cityscape articles, press releases, articles in the local paper, and two project open houses. Outreach methods also included presentations to a number of civic organizations in the community, personal emails sent to groups and organizations, updates to City boards and commissions, presentations to high school students, and staff attendance at community events to pass out information. Involvement opportunities included two open houses, participation on a policy interest-learn, submitting written comments via the website, and attending the Planning Commission workshop. Additionally, the interested parties listsery and volunteers who signed up for the policy interest teams were provided notice of all meetings held regarding the Comprehensive Plan Update. As part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, public notice of this Planning Commission public hearing was sent to the interested parties list and published in the October 18, 2007 issue of The Times (in accordance with Tigard Development Code Chapter 18.390). Notice will be published again prior to the City Council public hearing. The notice invited public input and included the phone number of a contact person to answer questions. The notice also included the address of the City's webpage where the entire draft of the text changes could be viewed. Statewide Planning Goal 2 -Land Use Planning: This goal outlines the land use planning process and policy framework. The Comprehensive Plan was acknowledged by DLCD as being consistent with the statewide planning goals. Findings: The proposed amendment to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan is being processed as a Type IV procedure, which requires any applicable statewide planning goals, federal or state statutes or regulations, Metro regulations, comprehensive plan policies, and City's implementing ordinances, be addressed as part of the decision-making process. Notice was provided to DLCD 45 days prior to the first scheduled public hearing as required. All applicable review criteria have been addressed within this staff report; therefore, the requirements of Goal 2 have been met.

Statewide Planning Goal 14: Utbanization To provide for an orderly and efficient transition form rural to urban land use, to accommodate urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure efficient use of land, and to provide for livable communities. Findings: The proposed amendment is consistent with this goal as it provides policy direction that intends to ensure the orderly and efficient delivery of public facilities and services through proper planning and implementation. The policies also require an appropriate level of public facilities and services to accommodate urban population and employment. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 16 OF 19 • • CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals. SECTION VI. ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF COMMENTS The City of Tigard's Building Division, Engineering Division, Current Planning Division, Library Department, Administrative Department, Financial and Information Technology Departments, Public Works Department, and Police Department has had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not respond. CONCLUSION: Based on no response from City staff, staff finds the proposed amendment does not interfere with the best interests of the City. SECTION VII. OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not respond: Beaverton School District City of Durham City of Beaverton City of King City City of Lake Oswego City of Portland City of Tualatin Washington County, Department of Land Use and Transportation Metro Land Use and Planning Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1, District 2A Oregon Public Utilities Commission Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J TriMet Transit Development Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue The Tualatin Valley Water District had an opportunity to review this proposal and have no objections. The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (see Exhibit B) had an opportunity to review this proposal and offered;the following comments: Chapter 7 references multiple documents (for example, the Public Facilities Plan, Stormwater Management Plan, TVWD Water Master Plan/Management Plan, etc.). It would be helpful if the dates of these documents could be listed so that it is clear which version of these documents were used in the creation of this update of the comprehensive plan and if they have been adopted by ordinance. Findings: Staff has added dates to the,following document titles: Public Facility Plan (1991), CWS STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007=00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 17 OF 19 Stormwater Management Plan (2006), Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (1997), CWS Design and Construction Standards (2007), TVWD Water Master Plan/Management Plan (2007), Water Distribution Hydraulic Study (2000) CWS Collection System Master Plan Update (2000). The Recommended Action Measure i. listed under Goal 11.1 is confusing for us. Please clarify what, "beyond voluntary" means. Findings: The proposed amendment has been edited since DLCD review and now reads: i. Adopt mandatory natural resource and habitat friendly development standards that utilize incentives for developers to incorporate green concepts into their design. Their request has been satisfied and no further changes are recommended. • In Section 2: Water Supply and Distribution, Key Findings, it states that "The Water Demand Forecast Report (2006) projects population growth from 12,053 to 17,725 persons in the Tigard Water Service Area. Is this consistent with the coordinated population forecast for the City for planning purposes? Findings: The referenced population projection addresses the Tigard Water Service Area, which is not coincidental with Tigard city limits. The projection is not consistent with a coordinated population forecast for land use planning purposes and for the sake of eliminating confusion; staff recommends the removal of the projections from the Key Findings. The removal would not affect the policy direction of the proposed amendment. • The Water Demand Forecast Report(2006)projects a a..: ::- : : . : ,e : , person future annual water demand could range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons in the Tigard Water Service Area. • Future annual water dcmand eeuld range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons. In the Recommended Action Measures for Goal 11.4, the City recommends "Review and revise the Community Development Code to limit or remove barriers to constructing new schools and fire stations. Does the current Development Code prevent schools or fire stations? Shouldn't these facilities have the same development standards as other development? Findings: The current Development Code does not prevent schools or fire stations. They are either permitted outright or conditionally permitted in some, but not all, zoning districts. These facilities should have the same development standards and the intention of the language was to remove locational barriers and not all development standards. Facility location is an important attribute for public safety providers to consider when striving to meet response-time targets. Staff recommends the following change to the language: iii. Review and revue the Community Development Code to identify locational limiter remove barriers to constructing new schools and fire stations. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 18 OF 19 • . Clean Water Services (see Exhibit C) had an opportunity to review this proposal and offered the following comments: We recommend' following the relevant provisions of the current Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Tigard and Clean Water Services and the relevant provisions of the current Design and Construction Standards (currently R&O 07-20) for all issues relating to development, vegetated corridors, erosion control,. and preservation of wetlands, natural drainage ways, and enhancements thereof. Findings: Although the proposed amendment does not directly reference the documents, Policy 2 and 3 under Goal 11.3 and Policies 2 and 3 under Goal 11.1 state the City's commitment to requiring compliance with the Design and Construction Standards. Additionally, the policies state the City's commitment to collaborating in the management of stormwater and wastewater systems and programs, which are outlined in the IGA. References to the Design and Construction are more appropriate in the Community Development Code and have been adopted into the Code. Therefore, staff recommends no changes to the policy language at.this time. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the comments and subsequent edits to the proposed amendment are in the best interest of the City and recommends inclusion of the changes in the language of this proposal. SECTION VIII. CONCLUSION The proposed changes comply with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals, Metro regulations, the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, and applicable provisions of the City's implementing ordinances. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Tigard City Council as determined through the public hearing process. ATTACHMENT: EXHIBIT A: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE TIGARD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. EXHIBIT B: DEPARTMENT OF LAND CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMENTS EXHIBIT C: CLEAN WATER SERVICES COMMENTS t p.-- October 29, 2007 PREPARED BY: Darren Wyss DA'Z'E Associate Planner ler ,i :AI./ 4 Or IA II[ l October 29, 2007 APPROVED BY: Ron Bunch DATE Planning Manager STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA.2007-00004 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11 PAGE 19 OF 19 S EXHIBrr.4 Public Facilities and Services Public Facilities and Services addresses their appropriate coordination, location, and delivery in a manner that best supports the existing and proposed land uses. The provision of these facilities and services are essential to a high quality of life and the health,safety, and welfare of the community. Their availability is also vital to promoting and sustaining a strong local and regional economy. For these reasons, the City and its partner agencies and districts must efficiently plan for the impacts of future growth and development on the facilities and services provided. Statewide Planning Goal 11 requires Oregon jurisdictions to adopt Comprehensive Plans that provide goals and policies as the basis to manage, maintain, and expand the public facilities and services of the community. Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services `To plan and develop a timely, orderly, and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." The community's vision is for a future where essential public facilities and services are readily available to serve the needs of the community. They understand the importance of not only planning for and funding the facilities, but ensuring their continued maintenance. They also recognize the impact that new development places upon all services and want them to pay their fair share. The public library, senior center, public safety, and public schools are especially considered vital components of a high quality, livable community. Furthermore, it is recognized that expected population growth in the region will place increased pressure on existing public facilities and services. The City of Tigard has adopted the City of Tigard Public Facility Plan (1991)as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-11. The City will make appropriate updates to the Public Facility Plan on a regular basis as part of the Periodic Review process as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-25. Section 1: Stormwater Management The City stormwater infrastructure is a mix of natural and piped systems.As with most urban areas, the reliance on piped stormwater has been important to transport the water from impervious surfaces to the natural systems and move it out of the community. To ensure the system operates effectively, the natural components must remain in good condition to meet the primary objectives of protecting water quality and flood control. To accomplish these objectives, the City collaborates with Clean Water Services (CWS) in the planning and management of the system. The plans currently used for City efforts are the CWS Stormwater Management Plan (2006),which addresses water quality protection, and Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (1997),which addresses flood-control in the City. The 2006 Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is a requirement of the combined National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits held by CWS. The SWMP is revised on a five-year cycle and was last updated in spring 2006. To implement the plan, the City has an inter-governmental agreement (IGA) with CWS as a "self-service provider."This designation means the City has CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 1 GOAL 11 • .rr. . '• 1X3 S ■ • operation and maintenance authority over storm drain systems, water quality systems, and roadside ditches under City jurisdiction. The IGA outlines the CWS work program standards that must be followed by the City. The 1997 Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (Fanno Plan) prepared by CWS for all jurisdictions within the basin,is the principal plan for drainage in the City. The Fanno Plan covers 85% of Tigard (the remaining 15% of the jurisdiction drains directly to the Tualatin River) and has been adopted by the City. Included in the plan is an inventory of drainage structures, an evaluation of their adequacy of capacity, and recommended City infrastructure improvements to reduce flooding. Funding for these projects is available through the Storm Sewer Fund that results from the collection of system development charges. In addition, the City is responsible for adopting policies and regulations that implement statewide land use goals to protect water quality and wildlife habitat. These policies and regulations must ensure that the impacts of new development on the stormwater infrastructure are minimized. One of the greatest impacts on stormwater infrastructure is the amount of impervious surface in a watershed. Impervious surfaces increase run-off into the stormwater system and increase the peak flow of storm events. Reducing the impervious surface coverage will encourage natural filtration and help to reduce the stormwater infrastructure needs, as well as reduce problems associated with scouring and erosion of stream channels from storm events. Although CWS does not have land use authority, they have been involved in reducing the impacts of stormwater by developing the CWS Design and Construction Standards(2007) that have been adopted by and are implemented by the City. A city engineer performs the task of evaluating the stormwater infrastructure design during the development review process to make sure the standards are met. In addition to the CWS Design and Construction Standards (2007), the City has adopted voluntary habitat friendly development provisions that may be utilized during new development. The provisions seek to protect wildlife habitat that has been identified within the community and includes low impact development practices that are meant to reduce • stormwater flow. Funding for the stormwater system is generated from two sources. The first is from System Development Charges (SDCs) that are assessed on new developments that cannot provide their own water quantity and quality facilities. The money is placed in the Storm Sewer Fund, which is managed by CWS and used for capital projects included in plans formulated by CWS. The second, the Surface Water Management Fee,is a monthly charge that is collected on utility bills. The City keeps 75% of this fee for operations and maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure. Key Findings • The expansion and maintenance of stormwater infrastructure is an important factor affecting growth and development. • Objectives of the stormwater system are the protection of water quality and flood control and are addressed through the CWS Stormwater Management Plan (2006) and the CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 2 GOAL.11 • • Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (1997). • The City maintains 113.4 miles of stormwater pipe, 3975 catch basins, and 588 outfalls. • The City maintains 79 water quality facilities;which include ponds, swales, filter systems, detention pipes and tanks. • Impervious surfaces, undersized bridges and culverts, and inadequate infrastructure contribute to localized flooding. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the impact of growth on the community's natural resources. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure.

This area includes most of the City's residents and also the City of Durham, King City, and the Bull Mountain area of unincorporated Washington County;which is represented by the Tigard Water District. The northeast corner of the City is supplied water by the Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD),which operates independently from the City of Tigard. The TVWD is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners and operates under the TVWD Water Master Plan/Management Plan (2007). Tigard has no role in the operation or management of TVWD, but has collaborated with them on long-term supply studies and is also capable of sharing water in emergency situations. The City of Tigard took over the provision of water to the Tigard Water Service Area from the Tigard Water District in 1994. During the transfer of supply responsibilities, an IGA created oversight for the water system through the Intergovernmental Water Board (IGWB), which consists of a member from Tigard, Durham, King City,Tigard Water District, and one at-large member. The IGWB advises Tigard City Council on issues relating to rate setting and water supply. The City owns and operates the water distribution system under license from the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Oregon Water Resources Department. The Water CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 4 GOAL 11 S • Distribution Hydraulic Study(2000)is the current master plan for the.City water supply system. The study provides direction for system improvements, including storage and distribution. Although the City owns a few wells, nearly 90% of the water supply is purchased from wholesale water providers such as the Portland Water Bureau (PWB). The City signed a 10- year agreement in summer 2006 to continue purchasing water from PWB. In addition, the City purchases water from the City of Lake Oswego,which draws its water from the Clackamas River Basin. This lack of a City-owned supply has been identified as an important issue for-the future and three long-term supply feasibility studies are in progress. The studies are in collaboration with neighboring jurisdictions and will evaluate various options for partnerships in securing a long-term supply. During periods of high water demand, the City can supplement its supply with water from City-owned aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) wells and native groundwater wells. Additional.supply is available for purchase from the Joint Water Commission (JWC). Water from the JWC is delivered via the City of Beaverton system; making it Tigard's only fluoridated supply. The City also has system inter-ties with Tualatin and the Lake Grove Water District that allows sharing water under emergency conditions. In 2005, the Oregon Departments of Human Services and Environmental Quality conducted a source water assessment on Tigard's groundwater. Within the Tigard water service area, 50 sites were identified as potential sources of drinking water contamination if managed-improperly. The City of Tigard Water System.is set up as an enterprise fund. The budget needs no money from the City general fund and operates based solely on revenue the Water System creates. System Development Charges for new construction and connections, and rates for water consumption are the two main sources of revenue for the budget. Key Findings • The expansion and maintenance of water supply and distribution infrastructure is an important factor affecting growth and development. • As of November 2006, TVWD has approximately 1,920 service connections within the City of Tigard. There are 24 covered reservoirs in the TVWD system that can store 53 million gallons of water. • The City of Tigard Water Service provides potable water to approximately 55,990 people through approximately 17,300 residential, commercial, and industrial service connections. • The City of Tigard's water system contains 13 reservoirs with a total combined storage capacity of approximately 24.5 million gallons. • The City of Tigard's water distribution system contains eight pump stations to distribute potable water to residents around the Tigard Water Service Area. • The distribution system is composed of various pipe types in sizes up to 36 inches in diameter. The total length of piping in the service area is approximately 209 miles. • Three feasibility studies are in progress and will help to provide direction for the City's long-term supply options. CPA2007-00004 • City of Tigard 5 GOAL 11 • • • The City has experienced a decrease in total and per capita consumption from 2001 to 2005 due to repairs made in water line leaks,rising costs, and the Water Conservation Program. • • The Water Demand Forecast Report(2006)projects population growth from 12,053 to 17,725 persons future annual water demand could range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons in the Tigard Water Service Area. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services,which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. Goal 11.2 Ensure Secure a reliable, high quality water supply to meet the existing and future needs of the community. Policies 1. The City shall prioritize securing an interest in a high quality,long-term water supply, which is financially feasible and reliable, to serve the Tigard Water Service Area. 2.

Develop and implement a Capital Replacement Program for the water distribution system. x. Survey the community to gauge their attitude regarding a fluoridated water supply. Section.3: Wastewater Management Wastewater services within Tigard are managed through an agreement between the City and CWS. The agreement assigns the City enforcement of design and construction standards, rules and regulations, and rates and charges governing the use of, and connection to, the wastewater system. In return, CWS acts as the regional wastewater authority that provides, owns, and maintains sewer lines with a diameter of 24 inches or greater(the City owns less CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 7 GOAL 11- • • than 24-inch lines), as well as pump stations and treatment facilities. CWS is also responsible for the planning of wastewater collection in the Tualatin River basin. CWS owns and operates the Durham Wastewater Treatment Facility. The facility is operating under the basin-wide NPDES permit and is in compliance with Clean Water Act regulations. The City has an IGA with Clean Water Services to perform management and maintenance tasks on City-owned wastewater infrastructure to ensure continued compliance with the regulations. The CWS Collection System Master Plan Update (2000)is the current plan for wastewater collection in the Tualatin basin, including the City of Tigard.The primary focus of the plan was to analyze future capacity of the system and found that all existing lines within the City of Tigard have adequate capacity to accommodate anticipated growth. The City has also developed the Sanitary Sewer Facility Plan Map to help prioritize projects and schedule improvements to the system through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The facility map is continuously revised and shows the locations of all current and proposed lines within the City. The map allows the City to plan for new construction and also identify developed neighborhoods not currently being served by the wastewater system. The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program was established in 1996 by the City to extend public infrastructure to unconnected neighborhoods. This program encourages property owners to retire septic systems and connect to the City sewer system. The program does require property owners, upon connection, to reimburse the City for a fair share of the total cost. To encourage participation, the City also established the Neighborhood Sewer Reimbursement District Incentive Program that provides options for limiting the financial burden on the property owner. In addition to the operation and maintenance of the existing wastewater system, the City is responsible for implementing the CWS Design and Construction Standards (2007). Land use applicants are required to obtain a Public Facility Permit when connecting to City owned wastewater infrastructure and must comply with the standards as part of the development review process. This function is outlined in the IGA between CWS and Tigard and is carried out by a city engineer. Funding for the wastewater system is generated from three sources. First, developers finance the construction of new sewer lines needed to service their new developments. Secondly, during the building permit process a connection fee is collected by the City. Most of the fee is transferred to CWS, but a portion of the fee is retained by the City for system improvements. Finally, the monthly sewer service fee is collected on the utility bill and a portion is retained by the City for operations and maintenance of the wastewater system. Key Findings • The expansion and maintenance of wastewater infrastructure is an important factor affecting growth and development. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 8 GOAL.11 • • • The City coordinates the expansion, operation, and maintenance of wastewater infrastructure through an IGA with CWS as a "self-service provider." • As of October 2006, there were approximately 12,671 connections to the City's wastewater system. • The City owns and maintains 160 miles of wastewater mainline (6 to 21 inches). • Currently, 29 neighborhoods (589 properties) have been provided the opportunity to connect through the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program.Another 17 neighborhoods have been identified as potential participants in the program. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the impact of growth on the community's natural resources. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. Goal 11.3 Develop and maintain a wastewater collection system that meets the existing and future needs of the community. Policies 1. The City shall require that all new development: A. connect to the public wastewater system and pay a connection fee; B. construct the appropriate wastewater infrastructure; and C. comply with adopted plans and standards for wastewater management. 2. The City shall continue to collaborate with Clean Water Services in the planning, operation, and maintenance of a comprehensive wastewater management system for current and projected Tigard residents. 3. The City shall ensure require the wastewater management system to comply with all applicable federal, state, and regional regulations and programs. 4. The City shall require maintenance access to all wastewater infrastructure and easements. 5. The City shall prohibit the repair or replacement of septic tank systems within the City, to the extent it has jurisdiction, unless it is not feasible to connect to the wastewater system. 6. The City shall require annexation prior to any property receiving City wastewater services. 7. The City shall ensure require wastewater fees are to be adequate to fund the operations and maintenance of the system. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard' 9 GOAL 11. • Recommended Action Measures i. Collaborate with Washington County Department of Health and Human Services on developing an efficient protocol for notification of failed septic systems. ii. Regularly review and update fees and charges to ensure they are sufficient to meet the needed operational costs. iii. Identify and map properties not connected to the public wastewater system. iv. Continue the sewer extension program in order to encourage all properties to connect to the public wastewater system. v. Continue a proactive maintenance program to prolong the life of the infrastructure. vi. Develop and implement a Capital Replacement Program for the wastewater collection system. Section 4: Community Facilities The City of Tigard provides many community services,while special districts supply a portion of the facilities and services that make the community what it is today. All of these facilities and services must maintain a level of service that is adequate for the current population and, at the same time, must plan for and accommodate future growth and development within Tigard. This is why collaboration during the development process is essential to ensuring the services will be available and funding options will continue to exist with an acceptable level of service. City-owned facilities include the Tigard Public Library, the Senior Center, and a number of administrative and equipment storage facilities. The library is a new facility that was funded by a community bond measure and opened to the public in 2004. The library offers a wide range of services and programs and acts as a community center for Tigard residents. The library has experienced a significant increase in use since the new facility was opened. The Senior Center is a hub of activities for the aging population in the community. Social events, classes, and meal services are a few of the offerings. Other City-owned facilities are dispersed around the community and house various City personnel and equipment. These facilities are vitally important to support the provision of public services to the community. Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. Only Tigard-Tualatin owns property and operates schools within the Tigard city limits. Both districts have seen steady growth over the years and are an important • component of reviewing development applications to ensure school capacity is not exceeded. Additionally, this working relationship is important to fording appropriate sites for new school facilities that will limit the impacts to the neighborhood and traffic flow. Public safety is a critical component of a livable community. There must be adequate and effective services, as well as the necessary infrastructure, to respond to emergencies in a CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 10 GOAL 11 • • • • timely and efficient manner. This not only applies to the current population and built environment within the City, but also to new growth and development. The Tigard Police Department provides police services,while Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVFR) provides fire protection and emergency services,for the community. Both have an intergovernmental agreement with the Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency (WCCCA) for 911 service and public safety communications. TVFR is a fire district that covers 210 square miles, has a five-member board of directors and is funded through a permanent tax rate on properties within the district. One way for Tigard Police and TVFR to gauge their level of service is by tracking their incident response time. Both pride themselves on quick response time to calls for service, but as development occurs, added traffic volumes and the associated congestion can cause a delay in response time. This is illustrated in the fact that TVFR has found a section of the City that could be better served. For that reason,TVFR has purchased property and is planning a new station that will decrease the response times to those neighborhoods. Since growth and development will impact both fire and police services,Tigard Police and TVFR have the opportunity for review and comment during the land use application process. They evaluate proposed projects.to ensure an adequate level of service exists for the development and no impediments will occur to hamper the ability to perform their functions. For TVFR, street design and placement is very important for access and egress of its equipment. A well connected street network is also essential to improving response times, for both fire and police services. During the land use application process,TVFR reviews hydrant locations, adequacy of firefighting water supplies, and viability of apparatus access to ensure meeting fire code requirements. In addition to providing a built environment that is accessible for safety equipment, the City has adopted the Oregon statewide minimum fire code and performs inspections on new construction. The fire code outlines the required equipment for various development types and sizes. Homeowners can voluntarily take steps to reduce risk of fire by installing equipment and providing a defensible space around structures that are located in an area at risk of wildfire. Key Findings • Growth and development will place increasing demands on the Police Department, which currently has an average response time that has increased over the last 5 years to 4 minutes, 30 seconds per call. • Areas of high population density and commercial areas, particularly Washington Square. Mall, place high demands on the Tigard Police Department. • TVFR provides fire protection services for the City through an IGA. • Three TVFR stations serve City residents,with one station located within City boundaries and a new station planned to be built at Walnut Street and 124th Avenue. • The dependability of fire protection is based in part on the distribution and capacity of the City water supply. • The City owns all fire hydrants within its boundaries. CPA2007-00004 City of-Tigard 11 GOAL 1"1 • • • The community has an ISO fire insurance rating of 2, one of 15 in Oregon. • Street widths must be adequate for fire equipment access and egress, which may conflict with development that is promoting a pedestrian-friendly environment through narrower streets. • Appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment installed at the time of development is cost-effective and invaluable in reducing the community's risk to fire. • Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard- Tualatin and Beaverton. The school district boundary dates back to 1910, prior to Tigard's incorporation. • In both 1993 and 2006 city surveys,Tigard residents named schools, education or school funding as top issues for the community (ranking 6th and 4th,respectively). • TTSD owns 23 properties (189 acres) in Tigard. The Beaverton School District does not own any property within Tigard. • TTSD estimates slow steady growth: 4.6% rate by 2010,with no additional schools planned for City limits. • Beaverton is experiencing rapid growth and is looking for land for a future school in the southwestern quadrant, which includes schools attended by Tigard residents. • The new library has experienced increased usage (80% increase in visits from 1996 to 2006) since its completion, and as growth and development occur in the community, additional pressure will be put on the services offered. • The library is valued as a community center for public meetings and other events. • Although not all City departments are direcdy involved in land use planning, their provision of services is affected by growth and development. These impacts on government services must be considered during the land use application process, as well as additional facilities that would be needed to house them. • City sustainability programs will be evaluated for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Plan and may have an impact on future building renovations as it relates to the Tigard Community Development Code. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services,which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. Goal 11.4 Ensure Maintain adequate public facilities and services to meet the health, safety, education, and leisure needs of all Tigard residents. Policies 1. The City shall support the provision of accessible public facilities and services through ensuring adequate administrative and general governance services. 2. The City shall continue to develop and maintain a Capital Improvement Plan to help provide for the orderly provision of public facilities and services. 3.

Section 5: Franchise Utilities Telecommunications, electricity, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. The services provided by these private companies and the associated infrastructure are essential to the community. As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must ensure that these services are available and coordinate their extension during the development process. This coordination, and cooperation between the various entities, helps to avoid conflict with current and planned infrastructure in the right-of-way. Additionally, uncoordinated utility installations in the public right-of-way may result in multiple street cuts and increased public costs to maintain curbs, gutters, streets, and sidewalks. The placement of utilities in the public right-of-way is regulated by the Tigard Community Development Code. During the development review process, a city engineer approves plans showing the location of utilities. New development is typically required to place utilities underground unless they are already in existence above ground, or where the action would not be feasible. In certain cases, where undergrounding is not feasible and the utility crosses or is adjacent to a public right-of-way, an in-lieu of fee may be assessed and placed into a fund that is used to move existing utilities underground elsewhere in the City. The City has also recognized the demand for wireless communication services and adopted regulations for the facilities necessary to provide them. The infrastructure needed to support the services has a visual impact upon the community and collocation efforts are encouraged by the City to minimize that impact. Collocation is the practice of placing the communication equipment of two or more companies on one structure (wireless tower). Key Findings • Telecommunications, electricity, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in Chapter 15.06 of the Tigard Community Development Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. • As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must ensure that private utility services are available and coordinate their extension during the development process. • Portland General Electric provides electricity service to Tigard residents. • Northwest Natural Gas provides natural gas service to Tigard residents. • Verizon and Qwest both provide telecommunication service to the community. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 14 GOAL 11 • • Comcast provides cable service and high speed internet to Tigard residents. • Applicants for wireless telecommunication facilities are required to demonstrate that all other providers within the City were contacted to evaluate possible collocation efforts in order to try and minimize the visual impact upon the City. Goal 11.5 Ensure Private utilities provide the needed energy and communication services for the community. Policies 1. The City shall require that all new development: A. secure the required energy and communication utilities; B. place new utilities underground,when feasible, or pay an in-lieu-of fee when crossing or adjacent to a public right-of-way; and C. provide necessary easements for energy and communication services. 2. The City shall require the placement of existing services underground,when feasible, or pay an in-lieu-of fee during redevelopment or street construction. 3. The City shall coordinate with private utilities during installation to minimize public costs to maintain curbs, gutters, streets, and sidewalks. 4. The City shall require the collocation of wireless communication services on existing towers whenever possible. 5. The City shall manage the siting of wireless communication towers to minimize visual impacts on the community. 6. The City shall monitor emerging technologies to effectively manage franchise agreements into the future. Recommended Action Measures i. Identify and map areas that are conducive to using in-lieu-of fees for placing utility lines under ground during City projects. ii. Continue implementing no-pavement-cut policies on identified streets. Review and improve the protocol for collocating wireless communication services. iv.

Goal 3 states that only land that lies outside Urban Growth Boundaries can be classified as agricultural. This directs counties to identify, preserve, and maintain lands for farm use, consistent with existing and future needs for agricultural products, forest and open space and with the state's agricultural land use policy expressed in the Oregon Revised Statues. The City of Tigard,which is located entirely within an Urban Growth Boundary, therefore contains no agricultural land according to the definition of Statewide Planning Goal 3. However, the City of Tigard supports the efficient use of urban land within its city limits to help preserve designated farm lands in rural.areas. By encouraging compact growth within the city,Tigard can help to slow urban expansion into rural areas. Chapter 14, Urbanization, discusses appropriate and timely urban expansion. DRAFT VERSION 1 GOAL.3 City of Tigard. Forest Lands Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 4: Forest Lands, requires local governments to "to conserve forest lands by maintaining the forest land base and to protect the state's forest economy by making possible economically efficient forest practices that assure the continuous growing and harvesting of forest tree species as the leading use on forest land consistent with sound management of soil, air,water, and fish and wildlife resources and to provide for recreational opportunities and agriculture." Land is considered forest land only if it was acknowledged as such when Goal 4 was adopted. The City of Tigard has not identified any forest lands within its city limits, therefore contains no commercial forestry land. For this reason, the City of Tigard has not adopted any goals or policies related to commercial forestry. However, the City of Tigard recognizes. the importance of the management and preservation of urban trees and has adopted goals • and policies pertaining to trees (see Chapter 2: Land Use and Chapter 5: Natural Resources). • CPA2007-00004 1 GOAL 4 City of Tigard 10/19/2007' 15:30 5416808 EUGENE FAX • PAGE 02/03 EXHIBIT_5 Department F•'� n of Land Co �01.)0) � `J� Conservation and Development '; 's�i-t- Portland Field Office Theodore R.Ktdon k', or Oregon, #18 Sos Govern 800' t Suite 1145 Portland, OR 97232 Fax(971)673-0911 http://www.oregon.gov/LCD October 19, 2007 Darren Wyss City.of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Boulevard Tigard, OR 97223 Via fax: (503) 598-1960 RE: City of Tigard proposed plan amendments to Chapter 7—Public Facilities and Services; Tigard File CPA 2007-00004; DLCD File 009-07 Dear Mr. Wyss, This is the department's initial review of the plan amendment for Chapter 7—Public Facilities and Services.

The provision of these facilities and services are essential to a high quality of life and the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Their availability is also vital to promoting and sustaining a strong local and regional economy. For these reasons, the City and its partner agencies and districts must efficiently plan for the impacts of future growth and development on the facilities and services provided. Statewide Planning Goal 11 requires Oregon jurisdictions to adopt Comprehensive Plans that provide goals and policies as the basis to manage, maintain, and expand the public facilities and services of the community. . Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services `To plan and develop a timely, orderly, and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." The community's vision is for a future where essential public facilities and services are • readily available to serve the needs of the community. They understand the importance of not only planning for and funding the facilities, but ensuring their continued maintenance. They also recognize the impact that new development places upon all services and want them to pay their fair share. The public library, senior center, public safety, and public schools are especially considered vital components of a high quality, livable community. Furthermore,it is recognized that expected population growth in the region will place increased pressure on existing public facilities and services. The City of Tigard has adopted a Public Facility Plan as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-11. The City will make appropriate updates to the Public Facility Plan on a regular basis as part of the Periodic Review process as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660- 25. Section 1: Stormwater Management The City stormwater infrastructure is a mix of natural and piped systems. As with most urban areas, the reliance on piped stormwater has been important to transport the water from impervious surfaces to the natural systems and move it out of the community. To • ensure the system operates effectively, the natural components must remain in good condition to meet the primary objectives of protecting water quality and flood control. To accomplish these objectives, the City collaborates with Clean Water Services (CWS) in the planning and management of the system. The plans currently used for City efforts are the CWS Stormwater Management Plan,which addresses water quality protection, and Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan,which addresses flood control in the City. The Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is a requirement of the combined National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits held by CWS. The SWMP is revised on a five-year cycle and was last updated in spring 2006. To implement the plan, the City has an inter-governmental agreement (IGA) with CWS as a "self-service provider." This designation means the City has CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 1 GOAL 11 • • operation and maintenance authority over storm drain systems,water quality systems, and roadside ditches under City jurisdiction. The IGA outlines the CWS work program standards that must be followed by the City. The 1997 Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (Fanno Plan) prepared by CWS for all jurisdictions within the basin,is the principal plan for drainage in the City. The Fanno Plan covers 85% of Tigard (the remaining 15% of the jurisdiction drains directly to the Tualatin River) and has been adopted by the City. Included in the plan is an inventory of drainage structures, an evaluation of their adequacy of capacity, and recommended City infrastructure improvements to reduce flooding. Funding for these projects is available through the Storm Sewer Fund that results from the collection of system development charges. In addition, the City is responsible for adopting policies and regulations that implement statewide land use goals to protect water quality and wildlife habitat. These policies and regulations must ensure that the impacts of new development on the stormwater infrastructure are minimized. One of the greatest impacts on stormwater infrastructure is the amount of impervious surface in a watershed. Impervious surfaces increase run-off into the stormwater system and increase the peak flow of storm events. Reducing the impervious surface coverage will encourage natural filtration and help to reduce the stormwater infrastructure needs, as well as reduce problems associated with scouring and erosion of stream channels from storm events. Although CWS does not have land use authority, they have been involved in reducing the impacts of stormwater by developing the CWS Design and Construction Standards that have been adopted by and are implemented by the City. A city engineer performs the task of evaluating the stormwater infrastructure design during the development review process to make sure the standards are met. In addition to the CWS Design and Construction Standards, the City has adopted voluntary habitat friendly development provisions that may be utilized during new development. The provisions seek to protect wildlife habitat that has been identified within the community and includes low impact development practices that are meant to reduce stormwater flow. Funding for the stormwater system is generated from two sources. The first is from System Development Charges (SDCs) that are assessed on new developments that cannot provide their own water quantity and quality facilities. The money is placed in the Storm Sewer Fund, which is managed by CWS and used for capital projects included in plans formulated by CWS. The second, the Surface Water Management Fee, is a monthly charge that is collected on utility bills. The City keeps 75% of this fee for operations and maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure. Key Findings • The expansion and maintenance of stormwater infrastructure is an important factor affecting growth and development. • Objectives of the stormwater system are the protection of water quality and flood control and are addressed through the CWS Stormwater Management Plan and the Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 2 GOAL 11 • • • The City maintains 113.4 miles of stormwater pipe, 3975 catch basins, and 588 outfalls. • The City maintains 79 water quality facilities;which includes ponds, swales, filter • systems, detention pipes and tanks. • Impervious surfaces, undersized bridges and culverts, and inadequate infrastructure contribute to localized flooding. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the impact of growth on the community's natural resources. • • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure.

This area includes most of the City's residents and also the City of Durham, King City, and the Bull Mountain area of unincorporated Washington County;which is represented by the Tigard Water District. The northeast corner of the City is supplied water by the Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD), which operates independently from the City of Tigard. The TVWD is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners and operates under the TVWD Water Master Plan/Management Plan. Tigard has no role in the operation or management of TVWD, but has collaborated with them on long-term supply studies and is also capable of sharing water in emergency situations. The City of Tigard took over the provision of water to the Tigard Water Service Area from the Tigard Water District in 1994. During the transfer of supply responsibilities, an IGA created oversight for the water system through the Intergovernmental Water Board (IGWB), which consists of a member from Tigard, Durham, King City, Tigard Water District, and one at-large member. The IGWB advises Tigard City Council on issues relating to rate setting and water supply. The City owns and operates the water distribution system under license from the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Oregon Water Resources Department. The Water Distribution Hydraulic Study is the current master plan for the City water supply system. The study provides direction for system improvements, including storage and distribution. Although the City owns a few wells, nearly 90% of the water supply is purchased from CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 4 GOAL 11 • • • wholesale water providers such as the Portland Water Bureau (PWB). The City signed a 10- year agreement in summer 2006 to continue purchasing water from PWB. In addition, the • • City purchases water from the City of Lake Oswego,which draws its water from the Clackamas River Basin. This lack of a City-owned supply has been identified as an important issue for the future and three long-term supply feasibility studies are in progress. The studies • are in collaboration with neighboring jurisdictions and will evaluate various options for partnerships in securing a long-term supply. During periods of high water demand, the City can supplement its supply with water from City-owned aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) wells and native groundwater wells. Additional supply.is available for purchase from the Joint Water Commission (JWC). Water . • from the JWC is delivered via the City of Beaverton system; making it Tigard's only • fluoridated supply. The City also has system inter-ties with Tualatin and the Lake Grove Water District that allows sharing water under emergency conditions. In 2005, the Oregon Departments of Human Services and Environmental Quality conducted a source water assessment on Tigard's groundwater. Within the Tigard water service area, 50 sites were identified as potential sources of drinking water contamination if managed improperly. The City of Tigard Water System is set up as an enterprise fund. The budget needs no money from the City general fund and operates based solely on revenue the Water System creates. System Development Charges for new construction and connections, and rates for water consumption are the two main sources of revenue for the budget. • Key Findings • The expansion and maintenance of water supply and distribution infrastructure is an important factor affecting growth and development. • As of November 2006,TVWD has approximately 1,920 service connections within the City of Tigard. There are 24 covered reservoirs in the TVWD system that can store 53 million gallons of water. • The City of Tigard Water Service provides potable water to approximately 55,990 people through approximately 17,300 residential, commercial, and industrial service connections. • The City of Tigard's water system contains 13 reservoirs with a total combined storage capacity of approximately 24.5 million gallons. • The City of Tigard's water distribution system contains eight pump stations to distribute potable water to residents around the Tigard Water Service Area. • The distribution system is composed of various pipe types in sizes up to 36 inches in diameter. The total length of piping in the service area is approximately 209 miles. • Three feasibility studies are in progress and will help to provide direction for the City's long-term supply options. • The City has experienced a decrease in total and per capita consumption from 2001 to 2005 due to repairs made in water line leaks, rising costs, and the Water Conservation Program. • The Water Demand Forecast Report(2006)projects population growth from 12,053 to 17,725 persons in the Tigard Water Service Area. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 5 GOAL 11 • • • Future annual water demand could range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. Goal 11.2 Ensure a reliable, high quality water supply to meet the existing and future needs of the community. Policies 1. The City shall secure an interest in a high quality, long-term water supply, which is financially feasible and reliable, to serve the Tigard Water Service Area. 2. The City shall develop and maintain a water system master plan to coordinate the improvement and expansion of Tigard Water Service Area infrastructure to serve current and projected demand. 3. The City shall require maintenance access to all public water infrastructure and easements. 4. The City shall coordinate with Tualatin Valley Water District to ensure adequate supply and pressure to meet consumption and fire protection needs for the portion of Tigard they serve. 5. The City shall ensure Tigard Water Service operations remain financially self- supporting. 6. The City shall require all new connections within the Tigard Water Service Area to pay a system development charge. 7. The City shall comply with all state and federal laws and regulations relating to potable water. 8. The City shall require that all new development: A. connect to a public water system; B. pay a system development charge and other costs associated with extending service; C. ensure adequate pressure and volume to meet consumption and fire protection needs; and D. extend adequately sized water lines with sufficient pressure to the boundaries of the property for anticipated future extension. 9. The City shall encourage water conservation through education programs and maintenance of the system. • CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 6 GOAL.11 • • 10. The City shall prohibit activities that have the potential for contamination of the municipal water supply. • Recommended Action Measures i. Continue to investigate options to partner with neighboring jurisdictions in securing a long term water supply. ii. Construct water distribution facilities in areas with minimal visual impact upon the • community. iii. Identify and map developed properties that are not connected to the municipal water supply. iv. Continue funding a maintenance program that ensures adequate pressure and flow, protects water quality, and minimizes water loss. v. Regularly review and update the Community Development Code as it applies to potable water. vi. Continue producing and distributing educational materials related to water supply and conservation. vii. Update water system development charges as needed. viii.Research and implement a system development charge structure that doesn't penalize residential structures for installing a fire sprinkler system. ix. Develop and implement a Capital Replacement Program for the water distribution system. • Section 3: Wastewater Management Wastewater services within Tigard are managed through an agreement between the City and CWS. The agreement assigns the City enforcement of design and construction standards, rules and regulations, and rates and charges governing the use of and connection to, the wastewater system. In return, CWS acts as the regional wastewater authority that provides, owns, and maintains sewer lines with a diameter of 24 inches or greater (the City owns less than 24-inch lines), as well as pump stations and treatment facilities. CWS is also responsible for the planning of wastewater collection in the Tualatin River basin. • CWS owns and operates the Durham Wastewater Treatment Facility. The facility is operating under the basin-wide NPDES permit and is in compliance with Clean Water Act regulations. The City has an IGA with Clean Water Services to perform management and maintenance tasks on City-owned wastewater infrastructure to ensure continued compliance with the regulations. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 7 GOAL 11 • • The CWS Collection System Master Plan Update is the current plan for wastewater collection in the Tualatin basin,including the City of Tigard. The primary focus of the plan was to analyze future capacity of the system and found that all existing lines within the City of Tigard have adequate capacity to accommodate anticipated growth. The City has also developed the Sanitary Sewer Facility Plan Map to help prioritize projects and schedule improvements to the system through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The facility map is continuously revised and shows the locations of all current and proposed lines within the City. The map allows the City to plan for new construction and also identify developed neighborhoods not currently being served by the wastewater system. The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program was established in 1996 by the City to extend public infrastructure to unconnected neighborhoods. This program encourages property owners to retire septic systems and connect to the City sewer system. The program does require property owners, upon connection, to reimburse the City for a fair share of the'total cost. To encourage participation, the City also established the Neighborhood Sewer Reimbursement District Incentive Program that provides options for limiting the financial burden on the property owner. In addition to the operation and maintenance of the existing wastewater system, the City is responsible for implementing the CWS Design and Construction Standards. Land use applicants • are required to obtain a Public Facility Permit when connecting to City owned wastewater infrastructure and must comply with the standards as part of the development review process. This function is outlined in the IGA between CWS and Tigard and is carried out by a city engineer. Funding for the wastewater system is generated from three sources. First, developers finance the construction of new sewer lines needed to service their new developments. Secondly, during the building permit process a connection fee is collected by the City. Most of the fee is transferred to CWS, but a portion of the fee is retained by the City for system improvements. Finally, the monthly sewer service fee is collected on the utility bill and a portion is retained by the City for operations and maintenance of the wastewater system. Key Findings • The expansion and maintenance of wastewater infrastructure is an important factor affecting growth and development. • • The City coordinates the expansion, operation, and maintenance of wastewater infrastructure through an IGA with CWS as a "self-service provider." • As of October 2006, there were approximately 12,671 connections to the City's wastewater system. • The City owns and maintains 160 miles of wastewater mainline (6 to 21 inches). • Currently, 29 neighborhoods (589 properties) have been provided the opportunity to connect through the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program. Another 17 neighborhoods have been identified as potential participants in the program. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 8 GOAL 11 • • the community. • • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the impact of growth on the community's natural resources. • • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. Goal 11.3 Develop and maintain a wastewater collection system that meets the existing and future needs of the community. • • Policies 1. The City shall require that all new development: A. connect to the public wastewater system and pay a connection fee; B. construct the appropriate wastewater infrastructure; and C. comply with adopted plans and standards for wastewater management. 2. The City shall continue to collaborate with Clean Water Services in the planning, operation, and maintenance of a comprehensive wastewater management system for current and projected Tigard residents. 3. The City shall ensure the wastewater management system complies with all applicable federal, state, and regional regulations and programs. 4. The City shall require maintenance access to all wastewater infrastructure and easements. 5. The City shall prohibit the repair or replacement of septic tank systems within the City, to the extent it has jurisdiction, unless it is not feasible to connect to the wastewater system. 6. The City shall require annexation prior to any property receiving City wastewater services. 7. The City shall ensure wastewater fees are adequate to fund the operations and • maintenance of the system. Recommended Action Measures i.. Collaborate with Washington County Department of Health and Human Services on developing an efficient protocol for notification of failed septic systems. ii. Regularly review and update fees and charges to ensure they are sufficient to meet the needed operational costs. iii. Identify and map properties not connected to the public wastewater system. iv. Continue the sewer extension program in order to encourage all residents to get CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 9 GOAL 11 connected to the public wastewater system. v. Continue a proactive maintenance program to prolong the life of the infrastructure. vi. Develop and implement a Capital Replacement Program for the wastewater collection system. Section 4: Community Facilities The City of Tigard provides many community services, while special districts supply a portion of the facilities and services that make the community what it is today. All of these facilities and services must maintain a level of service that is adequate for the current population and, at the same time, must plan for and accommodate future growth and development within Tigard. This is why collaboration during the development process is essential to ensuring the services will be available and funding options will continue to exist with an acceptable level of service. City-owned facilities include the Tigard Public Library, the Senior Center, and a number of administrative and equipment storage facilities. The library is a new facility that was funded by a community bond measure and opened to the public in 2004. The library offers a wide range of services and programs and acts as a community center for Tigard residents. The library has experienced a significant increase in use since the new facility was opened. The Senior Center is a hub of activities for the aging population in the'community. Social events, classes, and meal services are a few of the offerings. Other City-owned facilities are dispersed around the community and house various City personnel and equipment. These facilities are vitally important to support the provision of public services to the community. Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. Only Tigard-Tualatin owns property and operates schools within the Tigard city limits. Both districts have seen steady growth over the years and are an important component of reviewing development applications to ensure school capacity is not exceeded. Additionally, this working relationship is important to finding appropriate sites for new school facilities that will limit the impacts to the neighborhood and traffic flow. Public safety is a critical component of a livable community. There must be adequate and effective services, as well as the necessary infrastructure, to respond to emergencies in a . timely and efficient manner. This not only applies to the current population and built . environment within the City, but also to new growth and development. The Tigard Police Department provides police services,while Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVFR) provides fire protection and emergency services for the community. Both have an intergovernmental agreement with the Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency (WCCCA) for 911 service and public safety communications. TVFR is a fire district that covers 210 square miles, has a five-member board of directors and is funded through a permanent tax rate on properties within the district. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 10 GOAL 11 • • One way for Tigard Police and TVFR to gauge their level of service is by tracking their incident response time. Both pride themselves on quick response time to calls for service, but as development occurs, added traffic volumes and the associated congestion can cause a delay in response time. This is illustrated in the fact that TVFR has found a section of the City that could be better served. For that reason,TVFR has purchased property and is planning a new station that will decrease the response times to those neighborhoods. Since growth and development will impact both fire and police services,Tigard Police and TVFR have the opportunity for review and comment during the land use application process. They evaluate proposed projects to ensure an adequate level of service exists for the development and no impediments will occur to hamper the ability to perform their functions. For TVFR, street design and placement is very important for access and egress of its equipment. A well connected street network is also essential to improving response times, for both fire and police services. The placement of fire hydrants is mandated during the application process as well as an evaluation of adequate water supply and pressure. In addition.to providing a built environment that is accessible for safety equipment, the City has adopted the Oregon statewide minimum fire code and performs inspections on new construction. The fire code outlines the required equipment for various development types and sizes. Homeowners can voluntarily take steps to reduce risk of fire by installing equipment and providing a defensible space around structures that are located in an area at risk of wildfire. Key Findings • Growth and development will place increasing demands on the Police Department, which currently has an average response time that has increased over the last 5 years to 4 minutes, 30 seconds per call. • Areas of high population density and commercial areas, particularly Washington Square Mall, place high demands on the Tigard Police Department. • TVFR provides fire protection services for the City through an IGA. • Three TVFR stations serve City residents,with one station located within City boundaries and a new.station planned to be built at Walnut Street and 124th Avenue. • The dependability of fire protection is based in part on the distribution and capacity of the City water supply. • The City owns all fire hydrants within its boundaries. • The community has an ISO fire insurance rating of 2, one of 15 in Oregon. • Street widths must be adequate for fire equipment access and egress,which may conflict with development that is promoting a pedestrian-friendly environment through narrower streets. • Appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment installed at the time of development is cost-effective and invaluable in reducing the community's risk to fire. • Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard- Tualatin and Beaverton. The school district boundary dates back to 1910, prior to Tigard's incorporation. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 11 GOAL 11 • • • In both 1993 and 2006 city surveys,Tigard residents named schools, education or school funding as top issues for the community (ranking 6th and 4`h,respectively). • TTSD owns 23 properties (189 acres) in Tigard. The Beaverton School District does not own any property within Tigard. • TTSD estimates slow steady growth: 4.6% rate by 2010,with no additional schools planned for City limits. • Beaverton is experiencing rapid growth and is looking for land for a future school in the southwestern quadrant, which includes schools attended by Tigard residents. • The new library has experienced increased usage (80% increase in visits from 1996 to 2006) since its completion, and as growth and development occur in the community, additional pressure will be put on the services offered. • The library is valued as a community center for public meetings and other events. • Although not all City departments are directly involved in land use planning, their provision of services is affected by growth and development. These impacts on government services must be considered during the land use application process, as well as additional facilities that would be needed to house them. • City sustainability programs will be evaluated for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Plan and may have an impact on future building renovations as it relates to the Tigard Community Development Code. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. Goal 11.4 Ensure adequate public facilities and services to meet the health, safety, education, and leisure needs of all Tigard residents. Policies 1. The City shall support the provision of accessible public facilities and services through ensuring adequate administrative and general governance services. 2. The City shall continue to develop and maintain a Capital Improvement Plan to help provide for the orderly provision of public facilities and services. 3. The City shall coordinate the expansion and equitable, long-term funding of public facilities and services with the overall growth of the community. 4. The City shall require that all new development: A. can be provided fire and police protection; B. provide Tigard Police,Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue, and the school • districts the opportunity to comment on the proposal; C. have sufficient fire hydrants and fire flow; D. have a street layout and design that is accessible by emergency vehicles; and • E. have buildings that meet fire and building code requirements. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 12 GOAL 11 • • 5. The City shall work in conjunction with partner agencies and districts in the planning and locating of their new facilities. 6. The City shall ensure library services are accessible to the community and are sufficient to meet user demands. 7.

Section 5: Franchise Utilities CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 13 GOAL 11 • • Telecommunications, electricity, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. The services provided by these private companies and the associated infrastructure are essential to the community. As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must ensure that these services are available and coordinate their extension during the development process. This coordination, and cooperation between the various entities, helps to avoid conflict with current and planned infrastructure in the right-of-way. Additionally, • uncoordinated utility installations in the public right-of-way may result in multiple street cuts and increased public costs to maintain curbs, gutters, streets, and sidewalks. The placement of utilities in the public right-of-way is regulated by the Tigard Community Development Code. During the development review process, a city engineer approves plans showing the location of utilities. New development is typically required to place utilities underground unless they are already in existence above ground, or where the action would not be feasible. In certain cases, where undergrounding is not feasible and the utility crosses or is adjacent to a public right-of-way, an in-lieu of fee may be assessed and placed into a fund that is used to move existing utilities underground elsewhere in the City. The City has also recognized the demand for wireless communication services and adopted regulations for the facilities necessary to provide them. The infrastructure needed to support the services has a visual impact upon the community and collocation efforts are encouraged by the City to minimize that impact. Collocation is the practice of placing the communication equipment of two or more companies on one structure (wireless tower). Key Findings • Telecommunications, electricity, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in Chapter 15.06 of the Tigard Community Development Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. • As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must ensure that private utility services are available and coordinate their extension during the development process. • Portland General Electric provides electricity service to Tigard residents. • Northwest Natural Gas provides natural gas service to Tigard residents. • Verizon and Qwest both provide telecommunication service to the community. • Comcast provides cable service and high speed internet to Tigard residents. • Applicants for wireless telecommunication facilities are required to demonstrate that all other providers within the City were contacted to evaluate possible collocation efforts in order to try and minimize the visual impact upon the City. Goal 11.5 Ensure private utilities provide the needed energy and communication services for CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 14 GOAL 11 • • the community. Policies • 1. The City shall require that all new development: • A. secure the required energy and communication utilities; B. place new utilities underground, when feasible, or pay an in-lieu-of fee when crossing or adjacent to a public right-of-way; and • C. provide necessary easements for energy and communication services. 2. The City shall require the placement of existing services underground, when feasible, or pay an in-lieu-of fee during redevelopment or street construction. • 3. The City shall coordinate with private utilities during installation to minimize public costs to maintain curbs, gutters, streets, and sidewalks. 4. The City shall require the collocation of wireless communication services on existing towers whenever possible. Recommended Action Measures • • i. Identify and map areas that are conducive to using in-lieu-of fees for placing utility lines under ground during City projects. u. Continue implementing no-cut policies on identified streets. iii. Review and improve the protocol for collocating wireless communication services. • CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 15 GOAL 11 • • 7.

For the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan, Public Facilities and Services refers to Stormwater Management,Water Supply and Distribution,Wastewater Management,Community Facilities,and Private Utilities.The provision of these facilities and services is essential to a high quality of life and the health, safety, and welfare of the community.Their availability is also vital to promoting and sustaining a strong local and regional economy. For these reasons, the City and its partner agencies and districts must efficiently plan for the impacts of future growth and development on the facilities and services provided. Statewide Planning Goal 11 requires Oregon jurisdictions to adopt Comprehensive Plans that provide goals and policies as the basis to manage,maintain,and expand the public facilities and services of the community. GOAL 11: Public Facilities and Services t- :;' "To plan and develop a timely,orderly,and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." The community's vision is for a future where essential public facilities and services are readily available to serve the needs of the community.They under- stand the importance of not only planning for and funding the facilities, but ensuring their continued maintenance.They also recognize the impact that new development places upon all services and want them to pay their fair share. The public library, senior center,public safety,and public schools are especially considered vital components of a high quality,livable community. Furthermore, it is recognized that expected population growth in the region will place increased pressure on existing public facilities and services. The City of Tigard has adopted the City of Tigard Public Facility Plan (1991) as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-11. The City will make appropriate updates to the Public Facility Plan on a regular basis as part of the Periodic Review process as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-25. Section 1: Stormwater Management The City stormwater infrastructure is a mix of natural and piped systems. As with most urban areas,the reliance on piped stormwater has been important to transport the water from impervious surfaces to the natural systems and move it out of the community. To ensure the system operates effectively, the natural Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-1 • I- PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES components must remain in good condition to meet the primary objectives of protecting water quality and flood control. To accomplish these objectives, the City collaborates with Clean Water Services(CWS) in the planning and manage- ment of the system.The plans currently used for City efforts are the CWS Stormwater Management Plan(2006),which addresses water quality protection, and Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (1997),which addresses flood control in the City. The 2006 Stormwater Management Plan(SWMP) is a requirement of the combined National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits held by CWS.The SWMP is revised on a five-year cycle and was last updated in spring 2006. To implement the plan, the City has an inter-governmental agreement(IGA) with CWS as a "self-service provider."This designation means the City has operation and main- tenance authority over storm drain systems,water quality systems, and roadside ditches under City jurisdiction.The IGA outlines the CWS work program stan- dards that must be followed by the City. The 1997 Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (Fanno Plan) prepared by CWS for all jurisdictions within the basin,is the principal plan for drainage in the City.The Fanno Plan covers 85% of Tigard(the remaining 15% of the juris- diction drains directly to the Tualatin River) and has been adopted by the City. Included in the plan is an inventory of drainage structures,an evaluation of their adequacy of capacity, and recommended City infrastructure improvements to reduce flooding. Funding for these projects is available through the Storm Sewer Fund that results from the collection of system development charges. In addition, the City is responsible for adopting policies and regulations that implement statewide land use goals to protect water quality and wildlife habitat. These policies and regulations must ensure that the impacts of new develop- ment on the stormwater infrastructure are minimized. One of the greatest impacts on stormwater infrastructure is the amount of impervious surface in a watershed. Impervious surfaces increase run-off into the stormwater system and increase the peak flow of storm events.Reducing the impervious surface coverage will encourage natural filtration and help to reduce the stormwater infrastructure needs, as well as reduce problems associated with scouring and erosion of stream channels from storm events. Although CWS does not have land use authority, they have been involved in reducing the impacts of stormwater by developing the CWS Design and 11-2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan S • IIII PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES NOW Construction Standards(2007) that have been adopted by and are implemented by the City.A city engineer performs the task of evaluating the stormwater infrastructure design during the development review process to make sure the standards are met. In addition to the CWS'Design and Construction Standards(2007), the City has • adopted voluntary habitat friendly develop- ment provisions that may be utilized during new development. The provisions seek to One of the protect wildlife habitat that has been identi- greatest impacts fled within the community and includes low impact development practices that are meant on storm water - to reduce stormwater flow infrastructure Funding for the stormwater system is gener- ated from two sources.The first is from is the amount System Development Charges (SDCs) that are of impervious assessed on new developments that cannot provide their own water quantity and quality surface in a facilities. The money is placed in the Storm Sewer Fund and used for capital projects. The watershed. second, the Surface Water Management Fee, is a monthly charge that is collected on utility bills. The City keeps a portion of this fee for operations and maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure. KEY FINDINGS • The expansion and maintenance of stormwater infrastructure is an impor- tant factor affecting growth and development. • Objectives of the stormwater system are the protection of water quality and flood control and are addressed through the CWS Stormwater Management Plan (2006) and the Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan(1997). • The City maintains stormwater pipes, catch basins, outfalls,and water quality facilities;which includes ponds, swales, filter systems, detention pipes and tanks. • Impervious surfaces,undersized bridges and culverts,and inadequate infra- structure contribute to localized flooding. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community.

Section 2: Water Supply and "Although the Distribution City owns a few The City of Tigard provides water to the wells, nearly Tigard Water Service Area. This area 90 of the includes most of the City's residents and also the City of Durham,King City,and water supply is the Bull Mountain area of unincorporated Washington County;which is represented purchased from by the Tigard Water District.The northeast corner of the City is supplied water by the wholesale water Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD), providers such which operates independently from the City of Tigard. as the Portland The TVWD is governed by a five-member Water Bureau." Board of Commissioners and operates under the TVWD Water Master Plan/ Management Plan(2007).Tigard has no role in the operation or management of TVWD,but has collaborated with them on long-term supply studies and is also capable of sharing water in emergency situations. Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-5 • 154 PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES The City of Tigard took over the provision of water to the Tigard Water Service Area from the Tigard Water District in 1994. During the transfer of supply responsibilities,an IGA created oversight for the water system through the Inter- governmental Water Board (IGWB),which consists of a member from Tigard, Durham, King City,Tigard Water District,and one at-large member.The IGWB advises Tigard City Council on issues relating to rate setting and water supply. The City owns and operates the water distribution system under license from the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Oregon Water Resources Department. The Water Distribution Hydraulic Study(2000) is the current master plan for the City water supply system. The study provides direction for system improvements,including storage and distribution. Although the City owns a few wells,nearly 90%of the water supply is purchased from wholesale water providers such as the Portland Water Bureau (PWB).The City signed a 10-year agreement in summer 2006 to continue purchasing water from PWB. In addition, the City purchases water from the City of Lake Oswego, which draws its water from the Clackamas River Basin.This lack of a City- owned supply has been identified as an important issue for the future and three long-term supply feasibility studies are in progress. The studies are in collabora- tion with neighboring jurisdictions and will evaluate various options for partner- ships in securing a long-term supply. During periods of high water demand,the City can supplement its supply with water from City-owned aquifer storage and recovery(ASR) wells and native groundwater wells.Additional supply is available for purchase from the Joint Water Commission QWC). Water from the JWC is delivered via the City of Beaverton system;making it Tigard's only fluoridated supply. The City also has system inter-ties with Tualatin and the Lake Grove Water District that allows sharing water under emergency conditions. In 2005, the Oregon Departments of Human Services and Environmental Quality conducted a source water assessment on Tigard's groundwater.Within the Tigard water service area, 50 sites were identified as potential sources of drinking water contamination if managed improperly. The City of Tigard Water System is set up as an enterprise fund. The budget needs no money from the City general fund and operates based solely on 11-6 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • • PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES NEW revenue the Water System creates. System Development Charges for new construction and connections, and rates for water consumption are the two main sources of revenue for the budget. KEY FINDINGS • The expansion and maintenance of water supply and distribution infrastruc- ture is an important factor affecting growth and development. • Two water providers operate within the City of Tigard.This requires collab- oration to define future roles. • The City of Tigard Water Service provides potable water distributed through a network of reservoirs,pump stations, and pipes up to 36"in diameter. • Feasibility studies will help to provide direction for the City's long-term supply options. • The City has experienced a decrease in total and per capita consumption from 2001 to 2005 due to repairs made in water line leaks,rising costs, and the Water Conservation Program. • The Water Demand Forecast Report(2006) projects future annual water demand could range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons in the Tigard Water Service Area. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. GOAL• 11.2 Secure a reliable,high quality water supply to meet the existing and • future needs of the community. POLICIES 1.

Section 3: Wastewater Management Wastewater services within Tigard are managed through an agreement between the City and CWS.The agreement assigns the City enforcement of design and construction standards,rules and regulations,and rates and charges governing the use of, and connection to, the wastewater system. In return,CWS acts as the regional wastewater authority that provides,owns, and maintains sewer lines with a diameter of 24 inches or greater (the City owns less than 24-inch lines),as well as pump stations and treatment facilities. CWS "Land use is also responsible for the planning of waste- water collection in the Tualatin River basin. applicants are required CWS owns and operates the Durham Wastewater Treatment Facility. The facility to obtain a is operating under the basin-wide NPDES permit and is in compliance with Clean Water Public Facility Act regulations.The City has an IGA with Permit when Clean Water Services to perform manage- ment and maintenance tasks on City-owned connecting to wastewater infrastructure to ensure continued compliance with the regulations. City owned The CWS Collection System Master Plan Update wastewater (2000) is the current plan for wastewater infrastructure." collection in the Tualatin basin,including the City of Tigard.The primary focus of the plan was to analyze future capacity of the system and found that all existing lines within the City of Tigard have adequate capacity to accommodate anticipated growth. The City has also developed the Sanitary Sewer Facility Plan Map to help priori- tize projects and schedule improvements to the system through the Capital Comprehensive Plan City of Tigard 11-9 �I • 1211/ PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES Improvement Plan (CIP).The facility map is continuously revised and shows the locations of all current and proposed lines within the City.The map allows the • City to plan for new construction and also identify developed neighborhoods not currently being served by the wastewater system. The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program was established in 1996 by the City to extend public infrastructure to unconnected neighborhoods.This program encourages property owners to retire septic systems and connect to the City sewer system. The program does require property owners,upon connec- tion, to reimburse the City for a fair share of the total cost.To encourage participation, the City also established the Neighborhood Sewer Reimbursement District Incentive Program that provides options for limiting the financial burden on the property owner. In addition to the operation and maintenance of the existing wastewater system, the City is responsible for implementing the CWS Design and Construction Standards(2007). Land use applicants are required to obtain a Public Facility Permit when connecting to City owned wastewater infrastructure and must comply with the standards as part of the development review process.This function is outlined in the IGA between CWS and Tigard and is carried out by a city engineer. Funding for the wastewater system is generated from three sources. First, devel- opers finance the construction of new sewer lines needed to service their new developments. Secondly, during the building permit process a connection fee is collected by the City. Most of the fee is transferred to CWS,but a portion of the fee is retained by the City for system improvements. Finally, the monthly sewer service fee is collected on the utility bill and a portion is retained by the City for operations and maintenance of the wastewater system. KEY FINDINGS • The expansion and maintenance of wastewater infrastructure is an impor- tant factor affecting growth and development. • The City coordinates the expansion, operation, and maintenance of waste- water infrastructure through an IGA with CWS as a "self-service provider." • The City owns and maintains wastewater mainlines sized 6 to 21 inches in diameter. • A number of unserved neighborhoods have been provided the oppor- tunity to connect through the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program. 11-10 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • 64.

GOAL 11.3 Develop and maintain a wastewater collection system that meets the existing and future needs of the community. POLICIES • 1. The City shall require that all new development: A. connect to the public wastewater system and pay a connection fee; B. construct the appropriate wastewater infrastructure;and C. comply with adopted plans and standards for wastewater management. 2. The City shall continue to collaborate with Clean Water Services in the planning, operation,and maintenance of a comprehensive wastewater management system for current and projected Tigard residents. 3. The City shall require the wastewater management system to comply with all applicable federal, state, and regional regulations and programs. 4. The City shall require maintenance access to all wastewater infrastructure and easements. 5. The City shall prohibit the repair or replacement of septic tank systems within the City,to the extent it has jurisdiction,unless it is not feasible to connect to the wastewater system. 6. The City shall require a property to be located within the City limits prior to receiving City wastewater services. 7. The City shall require wastewater fees to be adequate to fund the opera- tions and maintenance of the system. RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES i.

Section 4: Community Facilities The City of Tigard provides many community services,while special districts supply a portion of the facilities and services that make the community what it is today.All of these facilities and services must maintain a level of service that is adequate for the current population and,at the same time,must plan for and accommodate future growth and development within Tigard.This is why collab- oration during the development process is essential to ensuring the services will be available and funding options will continue to exist with an acceptable level of service. City-owned facilities include the Tigard Public Library,the Senior Center, and a number of administrative and equipment storage facilities.The library is a new facility that was funded by a community bond measure and opened to the public in 2004. The library offers a wide range of services and programs and acts as a community center for Tigard residents.The library has experienced a significant increase in use since the new facility was opened. The Senior Center is a hub of activities for the aging population in the commu- nity. Social events, classes,and meal services are a few of the offerings. Other City-owned facilities are dispersed around the community and house various City personnel and equipment. These facilities are vitally important to support the provision of public services to the community. Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. Only Tigard-Tualatin owns property and operates schools within the Tigard city limits. Both districts have seen steady growth over the years and are an important component of reviewing develop- ment applications to ensure school capacity is not exceeded.Additionally,this working relationship is important to finding appropriate sites for new school 11-1.2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES facilities that will limit the impacts to the neighborhood and traffic flow. Public safety is a critical component of a livable community. There must be adequate and effective.services,as well as the necessary infrastructure, to respond to emergencies in a timely and efficient manner. This not only applies to the current population and built environment within the City,but also to new growth and development. The Tigard Police Department provides police services,while Tualatin Valley Fire&Rescue (TVFR) provides fire protection and emergency services for the community. Both have an intergovernmental agreement with the Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency(WCCCA) for 911 service and public safety communications. TVFR is a fire district that covers 210 square miles,has a five-member board of directors and is funded through a permanent tax rate on properties within the district. One way for Tigard Police and TVFR to gauge their level of service is by tracking their incident response time. Both pride themselves on quick "Although response time to calls for service,but as devel- opment occurs, added traffic volumes and not all City the associated congestion can cause a delay in departments response time.This has led to, and will continue to lead to,the need for emergency services to are directly expand their services and facilities in order to continue providing adequate service. involved • Since growth and development will impact both in land use fire and police services,Tigard Police and TVFR planning, have the opportunity for review and comment during the land use application process.They their provision evaluate proposed projects to ensure an adequate level of service exists for the development Of services is and no impediments will occur to hamper the affected by ability to perform their functions. For TVFR, • street design and placement is very important growth and for access and egress of its equipment.A well connected street network is also essential to development." improving response times, for both fire and Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-13 0- 164 PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES • police services. During the land use application process,TVFR reviews hydrant locations, adequacy of firefighting water supplies,and viability of apparatus access to ensure meeting fire code requirements. In addition to providing a built environment that is accessible for safety equip- ment, the City has adopted the Oregon statewide minimum fire code and performs inspections on new construction.The fire code outlines the required equipment for various development types and sizes. Homeowners can volun- tarily take steps to reduce risk of fire by installing equipment and providing a defensible space around structures that are located in an area at risk of wildfire. KEY FINDINGS • Growth and development will place increasing demands on the Police Department,which has an average response time that has increased by 16% over the 5 year period from 2002 to 2006. • Areas of high population density and commercial areas,particularly Washington Square Mall,place high demands on the Tigard Police Department. • TVFR provides fire protection services for the City through an IGA. • The dependability of fire protection is based in part on the distribution and capacity of the City water supply. • The City owns all fire hydrants within its boundaries. • The community has an ISO fire insurance rating of 2,one of 15 in Oregon. • Street widths must be adequate for fire equipment access and egress,which may conflict with development that is promoting a pedestrian-friendly envi- ronment through narrower streets. • Appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment installed at the time of development is cost-effective and invaluable in reducing the community's risk to fire. • Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. The school district boundary dates back to 1910,prior to Tigard's incorporation. • In both 1993 and 2006 city surveys,Tigard residents named schools, educa- tion or school funding as top issues for the community (ranking 6th and 4th, respectively). • TTSD owns a number of properties in Tigard. The Beaverton School District does not own any property within Tigard. • TTSD estimates slow steady growth: 4.6%rate by 2010,with no additional schools planned for City limits. 11-14 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES NMI • Beaverton School District is experiencing rapid growth and is looking for land for a future school in the southwestern quadrant of their district,which includes schools attended by Tigard residents. • The new library has experienced increased usage (80%increase in visits from 1996 to 2006) since its completion, and as growth and development occur in the community, additional pressure will be put on the services offered. • The library is valued as a community center for public meetings and other events. • Although not all City departments are directly involved in land use planning, their provision of services is affected by growth and development.These impacts on government services must be considered during the land use application process,as well as additional facilities that would be needed to house them. • City sustainability programs will be evaluated for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Plan and may have an impact on future building renovations as it relates to the Tigard Community Development Code. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure.

Section 5: Private Utilities Telecommunications, electricity,video,and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utili- ties.These private utilities pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code. This protects the public's past and ongoing investments in rights-of-way and other public lands. The fee also adheres to an equity principle that private companies should pay for the privilege of using public property to conduct business,just as they pay for the privilege of using private property to conduct business. The services provided by these private compa- nies and the associated infrastructure are essential to the community.As growth and "Uncoordinated development occurs within the community, the City must require that these services are avail- utility able and coordinate their extension during the development process,while at the same time installations protecting the primary intended use of public in the public rights-of-way and other public properties.This coordination,and cooperation between the right-of-way -`ZP1ay various entities,helps to avoid conflict with current and planned infrastructure in the right- may result of-way and provides fair opportunity to access the right-of-way..Additionally,uncoordinated in multiple utility installations in the public right-of-way street cuts and may result in multiple street cuts and increased public costs to maintain curbs,gutters, streets, increased public and sidewalks. COStS." The placement of utilities in the public right- of-way is regulated by the Tigard Community " Development Code. During the development review process,a city engineer approves plans showing the location of utilities.New development is typically Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-17 • • 61/ PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES required to place utilities underground unless they are already in existence above ground, or where the action would not be feasible. In certain cases,where undergrounding is not feasible and the utility crosses or is adjacent to a public right-of-way, an in-lieu of fee may be assessed and placed into a fund that is used to move existing utilities underground elsewhere in the City. The City has also recognized the demand for wireless communication services and adopted regulations for the facilities necessary to provide them.The infra- structure needed to support the services has a visual impact upon the commu- nity and collocation efforts are encouraged by the City to minimize that impact. Collocation is the practice of placing the communication equipment of two or more companies on one structure (wireless tower). KEY FINDINGS • Telecommunications, electricity,video, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utili- ties. These private utilities pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code. • As growth and development occurs within the community,the City must ensure that private utility services are available and coordinate their exten- sion during the development process. • Collocation of wireless communication equipment and the location of the towers upon which the equipment resides have a direct visual impact upon the community. • As an equity principle,private companies should pay for the privilege of using public property to conduct business. • A key task of the City is to protect the public's investments and the primary intended use of these assets. GOAL 11.5 Private utilities provide the needed energy and communication services for the community. POLICIES 1. The City shall require that all new development: A. secure the required energy and communication utilities; B. place new utilities underground,when feasible, or pay an in-lieu-of fee when crossing or adjacent to a public right-of-way; and 11-18 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES C. provide necessary easements for energy and communication services. 2.

Goal 3 states that only land that lies outside Urban Growth Boundaries can be classified as agricultural. This directs counties to identify, preserve, and maintain lands for farm use, consistent with existing and future needs for agricultural products, forest and open space and with the state's agricultural land use policy expressed in the Oregon Revised Statues. The City of Tigard,which is located entirely within an Urban Growth Boundary, therefore contains no agricultural land according to the definition of Statewide Planning Goal 3. However, the City of Tigard supports the efficient use of urban land within its city limits to help preserve designated farm lands in rural areas. By encouraging compact growth within the city,Tigard can help to slow urban expansion into rural areas. Chapter 14, Urbanization, discusses appropriate and timely urban expansion. 3-1 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • FOREST LANDS • 0 regon Statewide Planning Goal 4: Forest Lands, requires local governments to "to conserve forest lands by maintaining the forest land base and to protect the state's forest economy by making possible economically efficient forest practices that assure the continuous growing and harvesting of forest tree species as the leading use on forest land consistent with sound management of soil, air,water, and fish and wildlife resources and to provide for recreational opportunities and agriculture." Land is considered forest land only if it was acknowledged as such when Goal 4 was adopted. The City of Tigard has not identified any forest lands within its city limits, therefore contains no commercial forestry land. For this reason, the City of Tigard has not adopted any goals or policies related to commer- cial forestry. However, the City of Tigard recognizes the importance of the management and preservation of urban trees and has adopted goals and policies pertaining to trees (see Chapter 2: Land Use and Chapter 5: Natural Resources). • 4-1 City of Tigard 1 Comprehensive Plan • Attachment 1 1111 MEMO -RANDUM TIGARD TO: Mayor Craig Dirksen and Members of City Council FROM: Darren Wyss, Associate Planner RE: Council Hearing - CPA2007-00004 DATE: November 21, 2007 At the December 4, 2007 City Council meeting, a public hearing will be held for CPA2007- 00004. The amendment updates the goals, policies, and recommended action measures for the Public Facilities and Services (Statewide Planning Goal 11) chapter for the updated Comprehensive Plan (see Exhibit A). The proposed amendment language was approved and recommended by the Planning Commission at a November 5, 2007 public hearing. City Council reviewed the amendment at a November 20, 2007 meeting and had a number of questions and comments on the amendment language. At Council's direction, staff developed alternative language to address the questions and comments for the Council to consider at the public hearing on December 4, 2007. This alternative language is outlined below. INTRODUCTION Council asked that a definition of public facilities and services, or at least a list of what is included in the chapter, be added early in the introduction. This will help the reader quickly identiol the contents of the chapter and eliminate the need to browse the chapter to get that information. Staff recommends adding a definition to the glossary and inserting the underlined language below: Public Facilities and Services addresses their appropriate coordination,location, and delivery in a manner that best supports the existing and proposed land uses. For the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan, public facilities and services refer to: CPA2007-00004 1 Attachment 1 • • • Stormwater Management • Water Supply and Distribution • Wastewater Management • Community Facilities • Private Utilities The provision of these facilities and services is essential to a high quality of life and the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Their availability is also vital to promoting and sustaining a strong local and regional economy. For these reasons, the City and its partner agencies and districts must efficiently plan for the impacts of future growth and development on the facilities and services provided. Statewide Planning Goal 11 requires Oregon jurisdictions to adopt Comprehensive Plans that provide goals and policies as the basis to manage, maintain, and expand the public facilities and services of the community. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Council directed staff to work with the City Manager to review the language included in the last paragraph of the introduction. Staff recommends the following language changes: Funding for the stormwater system is generated from two sources. The first is from System Development Charges (SDCs) that are assessed on new developments that cannot provide their own water quantity and quality facilities. The money is placed in the Storm Sewer Fund which is managed by CWS and used for capital projects included in plans formulated by CWS. The second, the Surface Water Management Fee, is a monthly charge that is collected on utility bills. The City keeps 75% a portion of this fee for operations and maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure. Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated. Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Key Findings: • The City maintains 113.4 miles of stormwater pipes, 3975 catch basins, and 588 outfalls, and water quality facilities; which includes ponds. swales, filter systems, detention pipes and tanks. •— • - : . . . -. .. .: :: -: , , .. . - detention pipes and tanks. CPA2007-00004 2 Attachment 1 • • Council discussed the use of the word annexation in Policy 4 and staff offers the following alternative: The City shall require a property to be located within the City limits annexation prior to any property receiving City stormwater services. Council directed staff to look at the language of Policy 6 and develop alternatives that would be appropriate to accommodate the possible circumstances where an alteration to the natural state of a stream or wetland is needed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Following are a couple of alternatives: The City shall maintain streams and wetlands in their natural state, to the extent possible, to protect their stormwater conveyance and treatment functions. The City shall discourage modification to existing maintain streams and wetlands in their natural state to protect their stormwater conveyance and treatment functions. WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated. Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Key Findings:•• : __ I I . - - - • 4 e - - - - .• -• - - -•City of Tigard.

Council commented that all new development doesn't necessarily need access to water (e.g. parking lot expansion) and directed staff to look at the wording of Policy 8. Following is alternative language to be considered: CPA2007-00004 3 Attachment 1 • • • The City shall require that all new development needing a water supply to: Council directed staff to develop an alternative to Recommended Action Measure i. to make it more definitive as the City is far into the process. • i. Continue to iwcstigatc options to partner Develop partnerships with neighboring jurisdictions in securing a long term water supply. Council commented that some areas o f�the City have low water pressure and this could be added to Recommended Action Measure iv. Staff recommends adding an additional Recommended Action Measure that reads: Identify areas of the City with low water pressure and implement solutions to address these issues. WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated. Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Key Findings: . , wastewater system. • The City owns and maintains 160 miles of wastewater mainline (6 to 21 inches) sized from 6 to 21 inches in diameter. • Currently, 29 A number of un-served neighborhoods {589 properties) have been provided the opportunity to connect to the wastewater system through the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program. Another 17 Additional neighborhoods have been identified as potential participants in the program. • Council discussed the use of the word annexation in Policy 6 and staff offers the following alternative: The City shall require a property to be located within the City limits annexation prior to may property receiving City wastewater services. COMMUNITY FACILITIES Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Introduction: CPA2007-00004 4 Attachment 1 • . One way for Tigard Police and TVFR to gauge their level of service is by tracking their incident response time. Both pride themselves on quick response time to calls for service, but as development occurs, added traffic volumes and the associated congestion can cause a delay in response time. This has led to, and will continue to lead to, the need for emergency services to expand their services and facilities in order to continue providing adequate service. in thc fact that TVFR has found a section of thc City that could be better served. For that reason, TVFR has purchased property and is planning a new station that will decrease the response times to thosc neighborhoods. Council commented that the document needs to be timeless and not include background information that will soon be outdated. Staff recommends the following alternatives for the Key Findings: • Growth and development will place increasing demands on the Police Department, which currently has an average response time that has increased by 16% over the 5 year period from 2002 to 2006. over the last 5 years to 1 minutes, 30 seconds per call. •—Three TVFR stations serve City residents, with one station located within City boundaries and a new station planned to be built at Walnut Street and 121 '- e: • TTSD owns 2-3 a number of properties (189 acres) in Tigard. The Beaverton School District does not own any property within Tigard. • Beaverton School District is experiencing rapid growth and is looking for land for a future school in the southwestern quadrant of their district, which includes schools attended by Tigard residents. Council asked about the verb used in Policies 6 and 9 and directed staff to develop alternatives. The City shall require provide library services that are accessible to the community and are sufficient to meet user demands. The City shall require ensure the Senior Center te-be is accessible and available to serve the needs of the aging population in the community. FRANCHISE PRIVATE UTILITIES Council commented that franchise agreements are being evaluated as to their legal status and directed staff to work with the City Manager to develop alternatives to the term.

Council commented that franchise agreements are being evaluated as to their legal status and directed staff to work with the City Manager to develop alternatives to the term. Policy 6 could be changed to address this issue, as well as expanded upon to provide more direction on the City's position regarding right-of-way use. Alternative language could include: into the future. 6. The City shall manage private utility use of the public rights-of-way and other public lands to: A. Protect the primary intended use of these assets; B. Provide fair opportunity to access these assets, including those involved in emerging technologies; C. Protect the public's past and ongoing investments by assessing sufficient charges for the privilege of using these public assets; and D. Ensure the community has equitable access to essential private utilities. If Policy 6 is edited to include alternative language such as above, information should also be added to the background and key definitions. An example would be: CPA2007-00004 6 Attachment 1 • • Telecommunications, electricity, video, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into - ' ' - - pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code. This protects the public's past and ongoing investments in rights-of-way and other public lands. The fee also adheres to an equity principle that private companies should pay for the privilege of using public property to conduct business, just as they pay for the privilege of using private property to conduct business. The services provided by these private companies and the associated infrastructure are essential to the community. As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must require that these services are available and coordinate their extension during the development process, while at the same time protecting the primary intended use of public rights-of-way and other public properties. This coordination, and cooperation between the various entities, helps to avoid conflict with current and planned infrastructure in the right- of-way and provides fair opportunity to access the right-of-way. Additionally, uncoordinated utility installations in the public right-of-way may result in multiple street cuts and increased public costs to maintain curbs, gutters, streets, and sidewalks. The following Key Findings should also be added: • As an equity principle, private companies should pay for the privilege of using public property to conduct business. • A key task of the City is to protect the public's investments and the primary intended use of these assets. Council asked whether garbage collection should be included in this section of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff responded that the Land Resources Quality section of the Environmental Quality chapter contains language referring to garbage haulers, and that staff would review this language to ensure its appropriateness. After review, staff recommends leaving the language in the Environmental Quality chapter. Following is Policy 2 under Goal 6.3,in the Environmental Quality chapter: 2. The City shall regulate and manage solid waste and recycling collection services through franchise agreements that: A. Ensure recycling opportunities are accessible to all households, businesses, and institutions; B. Implement waste reduction measures through prevention and recovery efforts; C. Remain cost effective and environmentally sensitive; and D. Comply with applicable plans, policies, and laws.

For the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan, Public Facilities and Services refers to Stormwater Management,Water Supply and Distribution,Wastewater Management, Community Facilities, and Private Utilities. The provision of these facilities and services is essential to a high quality of life and the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Their availability is also vital to promoting and sustaining a strong local and regional economy. For these reasons, the City and its partner agencies and districts must efficiently plan for the impacts of future growth and development on the facilities and services provided. Statewide Planning Goal 11 requires Oregon jurisdictions to adopt Comprehensive Plans that provide goals and policies as the basis to manage, maintain, and expand the public facilities and services of the community. �___� -_- GOAL 11: Public Facilities and Services - •a ate- ' ', ''?' "To plan and develop a timely, orderly,and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." The community's vision is for a future where essential public facilities and services are readily available to serve the needs of the community. They under- stand the importance of not only planning for and funding the facilities, but ensuring their continued maintenance. They also recognize the impact that new development places upon all services and want them to pay their fair share. The public library, senior center,public safety, and public schools are especially considered vital components of a high quality,livable community. Furthermore, it is recognized that expected population growth in the region will place increased pressure on existing public facilities and services. The City of Tigard has adopted the City of Tigard Public Faciliy Plan (1991) as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-11. The City will make appropriate updates to the Public.Facility Plan on a regular basis as part of the Periodic Review process as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-25. Section 1: Stormwater Management The City stormwater infrastructure is a mix of natural and piped systems. As with most urban areas, the reliance on piped stormwater has been important to transport the water from impervious surfaces to the natural systems and move it out of the community. To ensure the system operates effectively, the natural Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-1 • Now PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES components must remain in good condition to meet the primary objectives of protecting water quality and flood control. To accomplish these objectives, the City collaborates with Clean Water Services (CWS) in the planning and manage- ment of the system. The plans currently used for City efforts are the CWS Stormwater Management Plan (2006),which addresses water quality protection, and Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (1997),which addresses flood control in the City. The 2006 Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is a requirement of the combined National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits held by CWS. The SWMP is revised on a five-year cycle and was last updated in spring 2006. To implement the plan, the City has an inter-governmental agreement (IGA) with CWS as a "self-service provider."This designation means the City has operation and main- tenance authority over storm drain systems,water quality systems, and roadside ditches under City jurisdiction. The IGA outlines the CWS work program stan- dards that must be followed by the City. The 1997 Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan(Fanno Plan) prepared by CWS for all jurisdictions within the basin, is the principal plan for drainage in the City. The Fanno Plan covers 85% of Tigard (the remaining 15% of the juris- diction drains directly to the Tualatin River) and has been adopted by the City. Included in the plan is an inventory of drainage structures, an evaluation of their adequacy of capacity, and recommended City infrastructure improvements to reduce flooding. Funding for these projects is available through the Storm Sewer Fund that results from the collection of system development charges. In addition, the City is responsible for adopting policies and regulations that implement statewide land use goals to protect water quality and wildlife habitat. These policies and regulations must ensure that the impacts of new develop- ment on the stormwater infrastructure are minimized. One of the greatest impacts on stormwater infrastructure is the amount of impervious surface in a watershed. Impervious surfaces increase run-off into the stormwater system and increase the peak flow of storm events. Reducing the impervious surface coverage will encourage natural filtration and help to reduce the stormwater infrastructure needs, as well as reduce problems associated with scouring and erosion of stream channels from storm events. Although CWS does not have land use authority, they have been involved in reducing the impacts of stormwater by developing the CWS Design and 11-2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan (in PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES W Construction Standards(2007) that have been adopted by and are implemented by the City. A city engineer performs the task of evaluating the stormwater infrastructure design during the development review process to make sure the standards are met. In addition to the CWS Design and Construction Standards(2007), the City has adopted voluntary habitat friendly develop- ment provisions that may be utilized during new development. The provisions seek to One of the 1,, protect wildlife habitat that has been identi- fied within the community and includes low greatest impacts impact development practices that are meant on stormwater to reduce stormwater flow. infrastructure Funding for the stormwater system is gener- ated from two sources.

Tigard has no role in the operation or management of TVWD, but has collaborated with them on long-term supply studies and is also capable of sharing water in emergency situations. Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-5 S • PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES The City of Tigard took over the provision of water to the Tigard Water Service Area from the Tigard Water District in 1994. During the transfer of supply responsibilities, an IGA created oversight for the water system through the Inter- governmental Water Board (IGWB),which consists of a member from Tigard, Durham, King City, Tigard Water District, and one at-large member. The IGWB advises Tigard City Council on issues relating to rate setting and water supply. The City owns and operates the water distribution system under license from the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Oregon Water Resources Department. The IVater Distribution.Hydraulic Study (2000) is the current master plan for the City water supply system. The study provides direction for system improvements, including storage and distribution. Although the City owns a few wells, nearly 90% of the water supply is purchased from wholesale water providers such as the Portland Water Bureau (PWB). The City signed a 10-year agreement in summer 2006 to continue purchasing water from PWB. In addition, the City purchases water from the City of Lake Oswego, which draws its water from the Clackamas River Basin. This lack of a City- owned supply has been identified as an important issue for the future and three long-term supply feasibility studies are in progress. The studies are in collabora- tion with neighboring jurisdictions and will evaluate various options for partner- ships in securing a long-term supply. During periods of high water demand, the City can supplement its supply with water from City-owned aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) wells and native groundwater wells. Additional supply is available for purchase from the joint Water Commission (JWC). Water from the JWC is delivered via the City of Beaverton system;making it Tigard's only fluoridated supply. The City also has system inter-ties with Tualatin and the Lake Grove Water District that allows sharing water under emergency conditions. In 2005, the Oregon Departments of Human Services and Environmental Quality conducted a source water assessment on Tigard's groundwater. Within the Tigard water service area, 50 sites were identified as potential sources of drinking water contamination if managed improperly. The City of Tigard Water System is set up as an enterprise fund. The budget needs no money from the City general fund and operates based solely on 11-6 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • s PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES W revenue the Water System creates. System Development Charges for new construction and connections, and rates for water consumption are the two main sources of revenue for the budget. KEY FINDINGS • The expansion and maintenance of water supply and distribution infrastruc- ture is an important factor affecting growth and development. • Two water providers operate within the City of Tigard. This requires collab- oration to define future roles. • The City of Tigard Water Service provides potable water distributed through a network of reservoirs, pump stations, and pipes up to 36" in diameter. • Feasibility studies will help to provide direction for the City's long-term supply options. • The City has experienced a decrease in total and per capita consumption from 2001 to 2005 due to repairs made in water line leaks, rising costs, and the Water Conservation Program. • The Water Demand Forecast Report(2006) projects future annual water demand could range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons in the Tigard Water Service Area. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. GOAL 11.2 Secure a reliable, high quality water supply to meet the existing and future needs of the community. POLICIES 1. The City shall prioritize securing an interest in a high quality, long-term water supply,which is financially feasible and reliable, to serve the Tigard Water Service Area. 2.

Section 3: Wastewater Management Wastewater services within Tigard are managed through an agreement between the City and CWS. The agreement assigns the City enforcement of design and construction standards, rules and regulations, and rates and charges governing the use of, and connection to, the wastewater system. In return, CWS acts as the regional wastewater authority that provides, owns, and maintains sewer lines with a diameter of 24 inches or greater (the City owns less than 24-inch lines), as well as pump stations and treatment facilities. CWS "Land use is also responsible for the planning of waste- applicants '_ . water collection in the Tualatin River basin. , are required owns and operates the Durham $..

The primary focus of the plan • was to analyze future capacity of the system and found that all existing lines within the City of Tigard have adequate capacity to accommodate anticipated growth. The City has also developed the Sanitary Sewer Facility Plan Map to help priori- tize projects and schedule improvements to the system through the Capital Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-9 • ow PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES Improvement Plan (CIP). The facility map is continuously revised and shows the locations of all current and proposed lines within the City. The map allows the City to plan for new construction and also identify developed neighborhoods not currently being served by the wastewater system. The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program was established in 1996 by the City to extend public infrastructure to unconnected neighborhoods. This program encourages property owners to retire septic systems and connect to the City sewer system. The program does require property owners, upon connec- tion, to reimburse the City for a fair share of the total cost. To encourage participation, the City also established the Neighborhood Sewer Reimbursement District Incentive Program that provides options for limiting the financial burden on the property owner. In addition to the operation and maintenance of the existing wastewater system, the City is responsible for implementing the CWS Design and Construction Standards (2007). Land use applicants are required to obtain a Public Facility Permit when connecting to City owned wastewater infrastructure and must comply with the standards as part of the development review process. This function is outlined in the IGA between CWS and Tigard and is carried out by a city engineer. Funding for the wastewater system is generated from three sources. First, devel- opers finance the construction of new sewer lines needed to service their new developments. Secondly, during the building permit process a connection fee is collected by the City. Most of the fee is transferred to CWS, but a portion of the fee is retained by the City for system improvements. Finally, the monthly sewer service fee is collected on the utility bill and a portion is retained by the City for operations and maintenance of the wastewater system. KEY FINDINGS • The expansion and maintenance of wastewater infrastructure is an impor- tant factor affecting growth and development. • The City coordinates the expansion, operation, and maintenance of waste- water infrastructure through an IGA with CWS as a "self-service provider." • The City owns and maintains wastewater mainlines sized 6 to 21 inches in diameter. • A number of unserved neighborhoods have been provided the oppor- tunity to connect through the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program. 11-10 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • 021 PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES W Additional neighborhoods have been identified as potential participants in the program. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the impact of growth on the community's natural resources. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. GOAL 11.3 Develop and maintain a wastewater collection system that meets the existing and future needs of the community. POLICIES 1. The City shall require that all new development: A. connect to the public wastewater system and pay a connection fee; B. construct the appropriate wastewater infrastructure; and C. comply with adopted plans and standards for wastewater management. 2. The City shall continue to collaborate with Clean Water Services in the planning, operation, and maintenance of a comprehensive wastewater management system for current and projected Tigard residents. 3. The City shall require the wastewater management system to comply with all applicable federal, state,and regional regulations and programs. 4. The City shall require maintenance access to all wastewater infrastructure and easements. 5. The City shall prohibit the repair or replacement of septic tank systems within the City, to the extent it has jurisdiction,unless it is not feasible to connect to the wastewater system. 6. The City shall require a property to be located within the City limits prior to receiving City wastewater services. 7. The City shall require wastewater fees to be adequate to fund the opera- tions and maintenance of the system. RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES i. Collaborate with Washington County Department of Health and Human Services on developing an efficient protocol for notification of failed septic systems.

Section 4: Community Facilities The City of Tigard provides many community services,while special districts supply a portion of the facilities and services that make the community what it is today. All of these facilities and services must maintain a level of service that is adequate for the current population and,at the same time, must plan for and accommodate future growth and development within Tigard. This is why collab- oration during the development process is essential to ensuring the services will be available and funding options will continue to exist with an acceptable level of service. • City-owned facilities include the Tigard Public Library, the Senior Center, and a number of administrative and equipment storage facilities. The library is a new facility that was funded by a community bond measure and opened to the public in 2004. The library offers a wide range of services and programs and acts as a community center for Tigard residents. The library has experienced a significant increase in use since the new facility was opened. The Senior Center is a hub of activities for the aging population in the commu- nity. Social events, classes, and meal services are a few of the offerings. Other City-owned facilities are dispersed around the community and house various City personnel and equipment. These facilities are vitally important to support the provision of public services to the community. Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. Only Tigard-Tualatin owns property and operates schools within the Tigard city limits. Both districts have seen steady growth over the years and are an important component of reviewing develop- ment applications to ensure school capacity is not exceeded. Additionally, this working relationship is important to finding appropriate sites for new school 11-12 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES NIIMPF facilities that will limit the impacts to the neighborhood and traffic flow Public safety is a critical component of a livable community. There must be adequate and effective services, as well as the necessary infrastructure, to respond to emergencies in a timely and efficient. manner. This not only applies to the current population and built environment within the City, but also to new growth and development. The Tigard Police Department provides police services,while Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVFR) provides fire protection and emergency services for the community. Both have an intergovernmental agreement with the Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency (WCCCA) for 911 service and public safety communications. TVFR is a fire district that covers 210 square miles, has a five-member board of directors and is funded through a permanent tax rate on properties within the district. One way for Tigard Police and TVFR to gauge their level of service is by tracking their incident response time. Both pride themselves on quick "Although , • response time to calls for service, but as devel- nOt all City opment occurs, added traffic volumes and the associated congestion can cause a delay in departments response time. This has led to, and will continue to lead to, the need for emergency services to are directly expand their services and facilities in order to continue providing adequate service. involved Since growth and development will impact both in land use fire and police services, Tigard Police and TVFR planning, have the opportunity for review and comment during the land use application process.

A well connected street network is also essential to development. improving response times, for both fire and S2' Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-13 • • - PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES police services. During the land use application process,TVFR reviews hydrant locations, adequacy of firefighting water supplies, and viability of apparatus access to ensure meeting fire code requirements. In addition to providing a built environment that is accessible for safety equip- ment, the City has adopted the Oregon statewide minimum fire code and performs inspections on new construction.The fire code outlines the required equipment for various development types and sizes. Homeowners can volun- tarily take steps to reduce risk of fire by installing equipment and providing a defensible space around structures that are located in an area at risk of wildfire. KEY FINDINGS • Growth and development will place increasing demands on the Police Department, which has an average response time that has increased by 16% over the 5 year period from 2002 to 2006. • Areas of high population density and commercial areas,particularly Washington Square Mall, place high demands on the Tigard Police Department. • TVFR provides fire protection services for the City through an IGA. • The dependability of fire protection is based in part on the distribution and capacity of the City water supply. • The City owns all fire hydrants within its boundaries. • The community has an ISO fire insurance rating of 2, one of 15 in Oregon. • Street widths must be adequate for fire equipment access and egress,which may conflict with development that is promoting a pedestrian-friendly envi- ronment through narrower streets. • Appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment installed at the time of development is cost-effective and invaluable in reducing the community's risk to fire. • Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. The school district boundary dates back to 1910,prior to Tigard's incorporation. • In both 1993 and 2006 city surveys,Tigard residents named schools, educa- tion or school funding as top issues for the community (ranking 6th and 4th, respectively). • '1'1'SD owns a number of properties in Tigard. The Beaverton School District does not own any property within Tigard. • TTSD estimates slow steady growth: 4.6% rate by 2010,with no additional schools planned for City limits. 11-14 City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan • • PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES • Beaverton School District is experiencing rapid growth and is looking for land for a future school in the southwestern quadrant of their district, which includes schools attended by Tigard residents. • The new library has experienced increased usage (80% increase in visits from 1996 to 2006) since its completion, and as growth and development occur in the community, additional pressure will be put on the services offered. • The library is valued as a community center for public meetings and other events. • Although not all City departments are directly involved in land use planning, their provision of services is affected by growth and development. These impacts on government services must be considered during the land use application process, as well as additional facilities that would be needed to house them. • City sustainability programs will be evaluated for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Plan and may have an impact on future building renovations as it relates to the Tigard Community Development Code. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. GOAL 11.4 Maintain adequate public facilities and services to meet the health, safety, education, and leisure needs of all Tigard residents. POLICIES 1. The City shall support the provision of accessible public facilities and services through ensuring adequate administrative and general gover- nance services. 2. The City shall continue to develop and maintain a Capital Improvement Plan to help provide for the orderly provision of public facilities and services. 3. The City shall coordinate the expansion and equitable, long-term funding of public facilities and services with the overall growth of the community. 4.

The City shall work in conjunction with partner agencies and districts in the planning and locating of their new facilities. 6. The City shall provide library services that are accessible to the commu- nity and are sufficient to meet user demands. 7. The City shall coordinate with the school districts to address capacity needs associated with population growth. 8. The City shall locate appropriate municipal administration offices and services in downtown Tigard. 9. The City shall ensure the Senior Center is accessible and available to serve the needs of the aging population in the community. 10. The City shall: A. plan for and provide sufficient resources to respond to emergencies; B. coordinate and collaborate with the appropriate jurisdictions, agencies, and districts for emergency response; C. participate in emergency preparedness exercises on a periodic basis; and D. maintain an Emergency Operations Plan that is updated on a regular basis. RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES i. Continue using the 5-year planning period as the foundation of the Capital Improvement Plan and continue implementing the Council approved projects each fiscal year. ii. Work with public safety agencies and districts to protect their ability for continued service provision. iii. Review the Community Development Code to identify locational barriers to constructing new schools and fire stations. iv. Research and identify funding sources to maintain and expand City services. v.

Section 5: Private Utilities Telecommunications, electricity,video, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utili- ties. These private utilities pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code. This protects the public's past and ongoing investments in rights-of-way and other public lands. The fee also adheres to an equity principle that private companies should pay for the privilege of using public property to conduct business, just as they pay for the privilege of using private property to conduct business. The services provided by these private compa- nies and the associated infrastructure are essential to the community. As growth and "Uncoordinated development occurs within the community, the City must require that these services are avail- able and coordinate their extension during the development process, while at the same time installations protecting the primary intended use of public rights-of-way and other public properties.

In certain cases,where undergrounding is not feasible and the utility crosses or is adjacent to a public right-of-way, an in-lieu of fee may be assessed and placed into a fund that is used to move existing utilities underground elsewhere in the City. The City has also recognized the demand for wireless communication services and adopted regulations for the facilities necessary to provide them. The infra- structure needed to support the services has a visual impact upon the commu- nity and collocation efforts are encouraged by the City to minimize that impact. Collocation is the practice of placing the communication equipment of two or more companies on one structure (wireless tower). KEY FINDINGS • Telecommunications, electricity,video, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utili- ties. These private utilities pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code. • As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must ensure that private utility services are available and coordinate their exten- sion during the development process. • Collocation of wireless communication equipment and the location of the towers upon which the equipment resides have a direct visual impact upon the community: • As an equity principle,private companies should pay for the privilege of using public property to conduct business. • A key task of the City is to protect the public's investments and the primary intended use of these assets. GOAL 11.5 Private utilities provide the needed energy and communication services for the community. POLICIES 1. The City shall require that all new development: A. secure the required energy and communication utilities; B. place new utilities underground,when feasible, or pay an in-lieu-of fee when crossing or adjacent to a public right-of-way; and 11-18 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • 1521/ PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES W C. provide necessary easements for energy and communication services. 2. The City shall require the placement of existing services underground, when feasible, or pay an in-lieu-of fee during redevelopment or street construction. 3. The City shall coordinate with private utilities during installation to minimize public costs to maintain curbs,gutters, streets, and sidewalks. 4. The City shall require the collocation of wireless communication services on existing towers whenever possible. 5. The City shall manage the siting of wireless communication towers to minimize visual impacts on the community. 6. The City shall manage private utility use of the public rights-of-way and other public lands to: A. protect the primary intended use of these assets; B. provide fair opportunity to access these assets,including those involved in emerging technologies; C. protect the public's past and ongoing investments by assessing suffi- cient charges for the privilege of using these public assets; and D. Ensure the community has equitable access to essential private utilities. RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES i. Identify and map areas that are conducive to using in-lieu-of fees for placing utility lines under ground during City projects. ii. Continue implementing no-pavement-cut policies on identified streets. iii. Review and improve the protocol for collocating wireless communica- tion services. iv.

JOINT MEETING WITH PARK AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD 6 : 40 : 31 PM Public Works Director Koellermeier gave the staff report and said the joint meeting with Council l was timely since the PRAB has been working hard on many issues and wanted to discuss three general topics with Council— • Developing a funding package for land acquisition • Moving ahead with a pilot City-run recreation program • Deciding whether or not to include a recreation component when updating the Parks Master Plan Tigard City Council McLaing Minutes November 211,20117 • • PRAl3 Vice Chair Brian Davies introduced other board members in attendance: Jason Ashley, Jason Rogers, Itirn Leinberger and Trisha Swanson. He reported on several items the PRAB worked on in the past year including. • Identifying potential park and open spaces to purchase • Outlining a pilot recreation program and approaching the Budget Committee last year (unsuccessfully) to request funding associated with a one-year pilot recreation program • Giving input on various park policies • Representing PRAB on the Downtown improvement project planning and Comprehensive Plan amendments PRAB Vice Chair Davies said they recommend Tigard pursue a bond measure for park land and open space acquisition to offset the growing SDC surplus. I-Ie said the PRAB identified 129 acres of surplus land for possible purchase and would like to see secure funding to offset SDC's. I-Ie said PRAB cannot specify a dollar figure yet but recommends a bond measure on the November 2008 or November 2010 ballot. He said the PRAB has also continued work on a pilot recreation program proposal. I-Ie said that on the heels of the successful opening of the Skate Park it is time to push for building more parks and open spaces as well as adding a City of Tigard run recreation program. He said the PRAB is seeking direction from Council. PRAB Member Leinberger said a recreation program could do a lot for the Tigard community. She mentioned skate park competitions, the Balloon festival and coordination of activities at the newly revitalized downtown plaza. PRAB Member Rogers said, 'We know what other park programs look like but what should ours look like? What does the Council want?" He said the PRAB will be updating the Parks System Plan in their next few meetings but before that they need Council input on whether to add a recreation program component. Councilor Buehner commended PRAB for their great ideas, but expressed concern that the City has much to deal with in the near future including identifying a long-term water source, developing the downtown, the temporary gas tax, and a potential bond for transportation issues. She said the difficulty is determining priorities and last year the Budget Committee citizen members said a recreation program was not a high priority. Councilor Sherwood said she agrees with Councilor Buchner, but if a recreation program is identified as a high priority on surveys, it should rise on the priority list. She said she was not against going out for a bond measure but wants it to be specific because citizens need to know exactly what they will get. She asked the PRAB to come back to Council with these specifics: • What would a recreation program cost? • Who/what is covered? • How would it tie in with existing programs such as youth soccer? Tigard City Couneil.iNlecting Minutes November 20,2007 2 • • Councilor Woodruff noted that he is Council liaison to the PRAB and reiterated his support. He acknowledged their disappointment when the pilot program was not approved .last year. He noted that the upcoming scientific survey contains specific questions about a recreation program and open. space. He expressed, support for a modest pilot project funded by the General Fund but said it is important to have five to ten benchmarks that can be used to demonstrate whether or not the program was successful. He said a pilot project may be the only way to see-if this is what citizens want. City Manager Prosser said staff will report on the community survey at the Council meeting of December 18,2007. Councilor Wilson noted he was not on the Council during budget meeting last year but agreed with concerns expressed by Council. He told the PRAB they need to convince Council that citizens want to spend their tax dollars on this. He said he was skeptical because for many years Tigard residents have been involved in numerous activities that he felt were adequately run by non-profit and volunteer-led organizations. He asked for assurance that the proposed program would be significant enough to have a greater impact than what currently exists. Councilor Sherwood asked the PRAB if they had approached local soccer or basketball organizations. PRAB Vice Chair Davies said they had not approached the local sports program organizations. He said the proposed.recreation program would fill gaps such as after= school activities, no-school day activities, small programs and one or two community events. He noted that there are already agreements with the soccer program at Cook Park and these would not be affected. PRAB Member Swanson mentioned that the Tigard Recreation Association dance program had recently folded. She said the after-school program at Mary Woodward Elementary is so popular that children are being turned away. Mayor Dirksen was he was supportive of the PRAB's recommendation to fund a pilot program Last year during Budget Committee discussions but he was outvoted. He said that while he believes there is general support, a better job needs to be done of selling the program. He suggested the PRAB consider making the proposal more appealing and be willing to look at-alternatives to what had been presented. I-Ie mentioned that at a joint meeting with the Tigard-Tualatin School District and the cities of Tigard, Tualatin and King City a need was identified for a single point contact for activity coordination to ensure shared facilities are used most effectively., He suggested that the PRAB consider coordinating with Tualatin and the School District which could allow for cost distribution while meeting service needs for everyone involved. Councilor Sherwood said limiting a pilot program to one year might not do it justice and suggested a two-or three-year test program. Mayor Dirksen and Councilor Woodruff agreed. Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes November 20,201)7 3 • • Public Works Director Koellermeier gave staff comments including: • A recointnendation for the inclusion of a recreation program component in the Parks Master Plan. • A preference for focusing on a bond measure for 2010 to allow enough time for a marketing plan and campaign • Concerns that the City's recreation program may have more success than what there is funding for and preparation of a"Plan B" taking-the program to its next step is recommended. • Staff is talking to neighboring communities and providers to investigate ways Tigard residents could join their recreation programs without paying out of district fees, perhaps by having Tigard pick up that component. They expect to have information on this by budgeting time. PRAB Vice Chair Davies thanked Council for their ideas comments. He said he appreciated Public Works Director Koelleruneier's comments and agreed that 2008 may be too soon to place.a land bond measure on the ballot. Councilor Wilson said he is more supportive of a bond measure for property than a recreation program bond. He said the housing market has slowed down somewhat and it night be timely to look at what is available. He suggested seriously looking at purchasing land soon or it might be gone forever. Public Works Director Koellerneier gave some statistics saying, " In 1999 we had 313 acres of park and open space properties for 36,000 people. In 2007, we have 383 acres so you can see that we have been acquiring property, but the population has grown to 46,000. We are just barely keeping up with growth." He said staff is preparing a thorough report on land acquisition that will be presented to Council after the first of the year. Councilor Buchner suggested using land adjacent to City-owned reservoirs for small, neighborhood parks. Mayor Dirksen said that if the pilot plan is successful then the next step may be going out for a bond which would then be based on success, having had a program in place that citizens obviously liked. DRAB Vice Chair Davies said the PRAB recommends procuring land first and then setting up a two-year pilot recreation plan. Council Woodruff mentioned a new designation that they learned about at the National League of Cities Conference — Playful Cities. He suggested that PRAB Google this group Mayor asked how Council felt about putting a recreation program component in the Parks Master Plan. Councilor Sherwood said she thought it was a good idea and the Mayor concurred. 'I'ig-rJ City Council Meeting,\linutcs November 20,21107 4 • • • Councilor Woodruff suggested that the PRAB develop a skate park advisory group made up of kids to work on issues, competitions, policing from their perspective. Mayor Dirksen asked the PRAB if they would be interested in taking this on and Vice Chair Davies said they would be. Councilor Buehner suggested looking at the hours the skate park is open to make sure it is open when the younger kids can use it. 3. DISCUSS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE — PUBLIC FACILITIES & SERVICES - CPA 2007-00004 7 : 2 0 : 5 5 PM Associate Planner Wyss gave a staff report briefing Council on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment pertaining to Statewide Land Use Planning Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services. He said staff worked with a Policy Interest Team and the Planning Commission to develop proposed goals, policies and recommended action measures. He said the public hearing for this section is scheduled for December 4, 2007. He said the most substantive change suggested by the Planning Commission was adding a policy to Section Five - Franchise Utilities— that directs to City to manage the siting of wireless communication towers to minimize visual impact. He said no public testimony was given at the Planning Commission public heating on November 5, 2007 and no further changes were suggested by the Planning Commission. Council discussed the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and made the following comments and suggestions. Section 1: Stormwater Management Councilor Woodruff suggested and Councilor Wilson agreed, that the introduction should define what exactly public services and facilities are. Page 11-3: City Manager Prosser said it is incorrect to say that money placed in the Storm Sewer Fund is managed by CleanWater Services. He said the City manages it and there are other corrections to be made including the Surface Water Management fee percentage.Associate Planner Wyss said he would work with City Manager Prosser to fix these errors. Page 11-4,Policy 4: Mayor Dirksen asked if specific mention of,annexation is necessary. Associate Planner Wyss said he would bring:different wording back for Council review. Page 11-4, Policy 6: Councilor Wilson said this policy implies a more active role than the City will have. Associate Planner Wyss said the discussion from the Policy Interest Team was how to keep the smaller streams in a natural state by not piping them. Mayor Dirksen said there may be instances when stream alteration would be necessary and the way the language is written none would be allowed. IIe suggested the language, "Streams should be maintained in their natural state so as to preserve their stoma water conveyance and treatment functions," which would allow modifications if necessary, and in some cases would even improve the stream. Tigard Cite Council Meeting Minutes November 2(1,3(107 5 • Section 2: Water Supply& Distribution • Action Measure i (page 11-8): Council Woodruff said the language was not strong enough in this Action Measure. He said the City should be long past investigating, - it • should be developing - a partnership with other jurisdictions to secure a long term water supply before this document is completed. Page 11-6: Councilor Buchner said the Intergovernmental Water Board is known as the IWB. Action Measure iv: Councilor Buchner said pressure flows are an ongoing issue in the City, particularly at higher elevations. She suggested re-writing this to say, "Where appropriate, increase pressure flows..." Mayor Dirksen said it might take a capital improvement program to improve flows. Policy 8: Councilor Wilson said this Policy needs clarification because it could be interpreted to read that parking lot expansions and.other development which would not require water would have to comply with this policy. Section 3: Wastewater Management Page 11-9: Councilor Woodruff noted that the printing in the black box in his version of this document has missing words. Policy 5. Councilor Wilson asked for clarification on the City's current policy to prohibit repair or replacement of septic tank systems within the City, unless it is not feasible to connect to the wastewater system. Associate Planner Wyss said it was his understanding that people within 300' of a sewer line when their septic tank requires repair,must hook up. Engineer Duenas said it depends on the extent of the repair and a replacement would not be allowed. He said the City is just enforcing what Washington County requires. In response to a question from Councilor Sherwood asking how the City would know if a septic system was being repaired, Engineer Duenas said a plumbing permit is required and the homeowner would be coming to Tigard's Permit Center. Section 4: Community Facilities Page 11-16, 9. The City shall require the Senior Center to be accessible.... Mayor Dirksen asked, "Require who, require ourselves?" Associate Planner Wyss said Community Development staff had changed the word "ensure" to "require" as requested by Council in previous comprehensive plan amendment discussions. Councilor Buchner said this was one instance where"ensure"was properly used. Tigard City(:nuncil Mectin} Minutes Nnvembcr 20,211(17 • • Page.11-15: Councilor Buchner asked why there was a reference to Beaverton. Mayor Dirksen said this was just a fact pertinent to the discussion on schools. Associate Planner Wyss said it would be changed to read, Beaverton School District. Page 11-14: Councilor Woodruff noted that in a Key Finding,Police response time had increased over the last 5 years to 4 minutes, 30 seconds. He asked how it had changed. Councilor Sherwood said the goal.used to be 4 minutes or under. Associate Planner Wyss said the response time five years ago was 3 minutes and 52 seconds. Council recommended saying it had increased by a certain number of seconds. Section 5: Franchise Utilities Councilor Buehner remarked that there is a current lawsuit regarding franchise fee validity and asked if this should be addressed in this section. City Manager Prosser said the case has been going on for six years and there is talk of the legislature moving to limit or otherwise structure franchise authority at the local level.. .He said because of this he is suggesting re-titling this section and will work with staff on wording. 11-19, Policy 6: City Manager Prosser asked staff to continue to work on this section. He said the entire field is changing and it is no longer clear who the service providers are. IIe said for example, Verizon is now providing video and Comcast is providing phone service so the references are not accurate. Mayor Dirksen said this brought up a concern for him about general language in the comprehensive plan and urged staff to make an effort to make it a more timeless document. IIe used the example of a Key Finding on page 11-14, that notes TVFR is planning a new station. He said this reference will be out of date after the fire station is built. Councilor Wilson agreed and suggested that staff look at entire document with regard to shelf life. Councilor Wilson asked where solid waste hauler agreements are addressed. Associate Planner Wyss said that was addressed in the Environmental Quality Section. Councilor Wilson asked if we have anything that says what happens if service providers don't give good customer service. Mayor Dirksen agreed that something should be written in this section. Associate Planner Wyss noted that the material given to Council includes two Goals, 3: Agricultural Lands and 4: Forest Lands Sections, which were added so the Comprehensive Plan format follows the Statewide Land Use Goals Format. He said Tigard is not required to address these Goals but staff felt skipping some of the numbers would make the document confusing. Councilor Buehner said this should be mentioned in the introduction. Associate Planner Wyss said Council's changes would be incorporated and brought back for the public hearing of December 4, 2007. Tigard City Council Meeting Minute:: November 211,21)1)7 7 • • At 7:58 Councilor Sherwood moved that Council adjourn and reconvene as the City Center Development Agency. Councilor Buelmer seconded and the motion was approved by all Council present. Councilor Buchner yes Councilor Sherwood yes Councilor Wilson yes Councilor Woodruff yes Mayor Dirksen yes Chair Dirksen called the City Center Development Agency (CCDA) meeting to order and called a five-minute recess. Chair Dirksen reconvened the CCDA at 8:05 p.m. 4. DIRECTION FOR PREFERRED CONCEPT DESIGN PLAN FOR FANNO CREEK PARK AND THE DOWNTOWN PLAZA 8 : 06 : 53 PM Principal Planner Nachbar described the process used to develop the Fanno Creek Park and Downtown Plaza plans which began in April and is expected to go through January. He said the master plan would provide direction for construction and is the catalyst project identified in the Downtown Plan. Ile said staff was seeking Council comments and direction to move forward. IIe said it is projected that the final version would come to Council for adoption on January 22,2008. Principal Planner Nachbar introduced Walker Mary Consultant Mike Zilis, Steering Committee Chair Switzer, Kendra Smith from Clean Water Services, and Page Stevens and Paul Meyer, owners of Stevens Marine. He said steady progress has been made towards a plaza and park for downtown and a Resolution was passed by the CCDA on August 28,2007 confirming the site choice of the plaza as the current Stevens Marine site. He said staff has been working with two committees, the Steering Committee and the City Center Advisory Commission, and both committees have been encouraged to make independent recommendations. He said the consultant firm Walker Macy developed three design schemes and we're evolving towards one scheme,which has been refined since CCDA reviewed it last. Principal Planner Nachbar said while everyone seems comfortable with the plan, most people are concerned with the details. He said a master plan is intended to provide a layout and general concepts, such as the plaza, fountain and urban creek idea. He said details would develop during a secondary design process which will take place when the City designs and builds a shelter for the plaza. Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes November 211,2007 H • • • • Chair Dirksen said that a third group is working on design guidelines for the entire Downtown which also affect what this project looks like. Principal Planner Nachbar said that in addition to developing these standards; specific design guidelines arc being developed first in case we have a:project in hand for the properties next to the plaza. Walker Macy Consultant Zilas gave.a synopsis of the latest project design. I Ie presented slides showing the park area, creek and riparian zone. I ie described the lower park as a nature park with trails and overlooks. He stated that the regional trail will follow the creek and noted that the public spoke at length about malting the area safer and nicer. He said other schemes presented to the public and committees showed two ideas of how the trails should work in the park. Ile said the continuity between the two schemes was the importance of die Ash Street Crossing as well as bringing the trail up through the lower portions of the properties to the plaza site. He said Clean Water Services is proposing to re-meander the creek and build additional wetlands. He said there are a variety of proposals is to connect the trail from behind A-Boy across the creek I Ie said the committee was in favor of bringing the trail behind the brew pub property and crossing over the creek towards Main Street on a cantileavered deck. In response to a question from Chair Dirksen, Principal Planner Nachbar said the City currently has a Memorandum of Understanding with the owner of the brewpub for a public access easement at the brewpub property. Consultant Zilas said he heard very clearly from the committees a preference for including sustainability to make this the"green heart" of Tigard. He said there were strong preferences expressed for a traditional downtown with more natural elements for the park. Consultant Zilas presented the proposed Upland Park&Plaza plan with its sections: Light columns, Plaza, Fountain, Cafe Seating, Festival Street, Stormwatcr planters and the Urban Creek He said the mixed-use building in die plaza could take on a variety of characteristics and he presented three design options. He recommended that "honest' materials be used (real stone and wood) and that it should be well constructed. The options shown were: > Picnic Shelter/Restroom- Contemporary Style with Green Roof > Picnic Shelter/Restroom with Solar Panel(another way to bring in sustainability) > Picnic Shelter/Restroom—Traditional,Lodge style with Gable Roof Board Member Wilson asked about a water quality facility that he heard would serve 40 acres and asked if that was what the urban creek discharges into. Principal Planner Nachbar said there was currently another facility planned for Main and Commercial Streets which would take water from die northern half of downtown as well as 99W. He said lie is exploring with City Engineer Duenas ways to drain more water into Fanno to create a more fully functioning creek. Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes November 211,211117 9 • Board Member Wilson expressed concerns about low summer creek flow which can make the water murky and unappealing. He said the creek is more interesting when it has more volume. He said he was also concerned about the steepness of the banks and with a large deck taldng over half of the creek area, the design would not have the intended effect. He suggested terracing down to the water. Kendra Smith of CleanWater Services responded and said they had looked at that section of Fanno Creek to see if terracing would work. She said the concern is that it is so steep and because there is about 12 cubic feet per second pushing through there. She said there is a backwater created by 99W during flooding events that shapes the creek into an hourglass shape and the narrowest part is at Main Street by the A-Boy property. She said it is difficult to get anything to grow along the banks but CWS will be testing some plants this winter to see what can tolerate the velocities that flow through in winter. In response to a question from Board Member Wilson about widening the creek she said there wasn't enough space between the two buildings for the creek and a trail if it was widened. She also expressed concern about slope stability. She suggested that any improvements recharging the groundwater such as pervious surfaces and stormwater planters will help with flow. Chair Dirksen said overall he likes the look and the direction of the park and plaza layout. He asked what the justification was for moving the path from one side of the creek to the other and whether this would affect property owners. Walker Macy Consultant Zilis said it is not only being done for restoration on the upper bank but that it is also better from a public use standpoint. Board Member Wilson said he disagreed with some of the comments about adding more shrubs and would prefer that people be able to see into the park rather than have it walled off from view with plantings. Board Member Buchner said she attended a recent Fanno Creek Park and Plaza Open House and found it to be a very positive experience. She noted that there were questions from citizens about stream meandering so she wished Clean Water Services had been there to respond. She said she could see that many comments from citizens have been incorporated into the concept. 8 : 56 : 04 PM Page Stevens, one of the owners of Stevens Marine was invited to speak. He said his business has been in the downtown Tigard location for 27 years but had outgrown the property and so he was receptive when Principal Planner Nachbar came to him with the idea of using the property as the main plaza area for the new park in a revitalized downtown. He said their business has outgrown their current facility and a change to a site with enough space and on a busy street would be an advantage. He said they currently work out of four locations and it would benefit them to work out of a consolidated location. He said they wish to stay in Tigard and continue to do business with their established customer base. Tigard City C;uuncil Meeting Minutes N(n•cmber 21),2007 11) • • Chair Dirksen said the CCDA would be pleased to work with them in any way they can. He said they would attempt to find another location in Tigard that will meet their needs. He suggested putting-guides at the new plaza letting the public know the location of Stevens Marine's new site. Board Member Woodruff said it was encouraging to hear directly from Mr. Stevens that he is supportive of this concept. Carl Switzer, representing the Steeling Committee and City Center Advisory Commission, said there is consensus that Tigard is moving in the right direction and that most concepts presented are solid. He said he liked how the consultants integrated many of their suggestions about how the trail would meander through the park. He noted that a loop system in the park will create a feeling of safety. He said the feeling about the general design of the plaza is positive but they would like to revisit the building design. He said there could a really dramatic element at the plaza that expresses the heart of Tigard, and the CCAC would like the building as proposed as a placeholders but not as a final design. In response to a question from Board Member Woodruff about whether or not staff has provided good opportunities for input, Mr. Switzer said there were. Chair Dirksen said he had a few comments regarding the size of the plaza water fountain and asked if the plaza is usable other than for a water feature? He asked if there would be the flexibility to turn it off and use more of the plaza for other functions? Consultant Zilas said the fountain is designed to be programmed in a variety of ways including turning it completely off. Board Member Wilson said the Plaza needs to be multi-use and if a water feature is to be part of it, it should be able to be turned off. He recommended that this be written into the deisgn document. Board Member Woodruff remarked that some citizens prefer a more European style fountain and don't care for an interactive fountain. Board Member Buehner expressed her desire that the fountain be a subordinate feature of the plaza and not dominate it. Chair Dirksen said it should be a plaza with a fountain,not a fountain with a plaza Chair Dirksen said he thought the shelter designs are too modern. He said the building needs to reflect more of a traditional design element. I Ie said it is important to improve and protect the degraded creek and riparian area but it is important to remember that this is first and foremost a park for people. He said the more accessible this area is for people the more they will care about it. Principal Planner Nachbar said the final version of the Master Plan will be coming back to Council on January 22,2008 for approval.

TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN REPORT— STAFF AND CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CCAC) RECOMMENDA- TIONS 9 : 17 : 0 2 PM Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said the Highway 99W traffic congestion iswell known and many plans have been done over the years. Ile said this plan is different because it provides specific policy recommendations. Mr. Bunch acknowledged City,Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for funding this study with a grant, Tri-Met,Washington County and Metro were all at the table. Staff proposes,that the CAC's recointnendations come to the Planning Commission Engineer Duenas summarized Highway 99W issues and future needs in a Powerpoint presentation, which is available in the City Recorder's office. 1-Ie said there is no one answer to the various traffic difficulties on 99W. He said the Committee created combinations of three main alternatives: • Partial Widening, • Access Management • Full Widening. Councilor Wilson said he was on the Transportation System Plan Committee in 2002 and asked what is different about this plan. Engineer Duenas said this plan contains medians and improved intersections,while maintaining a five-lane system throughout. Mayor Dirksen asked if traffic signals could be more aggressively coordinated. Engineer Duenas replied that while synchronization of the signal system is an objective, it can have the unintended effect of bogging down traffic. I-Ie said it is designed for a particular speed and when that speed is not achieved,it doesn't work. Mayor Dirksen asked if Council has reviewed this document and feels that they have enough infornnation to make a decision. City Manager Prosser asked when staff would be 'bringing this back for formal adoption. Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said it would be back for Council review within three to four months. Councilor Wilson said he liked the direction of the recommendations but a flaw of the Study is that it considers only the pavement and not the land use aspects. He said many Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes November 20,2007 12 • • of the commercial uses along 99W such as strip malls, are obsolete. He said if the priority is access control to make it easier for cars along 99W, then backage roads need consideration. He said backage roads were rejected in this report as not feasible and he disagrees. He said they would be challenging because 99W is on a diagonal but he'd like to see them affirmed as part of the plan. He said seven lanes are in the ODOT plan and if Tigard is going to give up the funds available for that widening, that money should be spent on backage roads and other considerations. Mayor Dirksen said ODOT will support projects off of the highway if it can be proven that they would enhance the functioning of the street. Councilor Buehner said she supported backage roads and suggested putting stronger language about them in the report and to make it a directive as part of the land use analysis. Mayor Dirksen asked if it was possible, rather than rejecting this report because it doesn't include this consideration, for Council to call for the addition of an appendix, that would identify this as a preferred method of achieving 'the goals of access management. Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said this is a site design issue more associated with a specific project or redevelopment. He suggested keeping the 99W Report as it is and taking on the backage roads as part of Tigard's own project specific improvements. He said requiting shared parking and connected parking of new development could be accomplished on a site by site basis. He said the City's Transportation System Plan is being updated and specific language can provide direction to do this whenever possible. He said the City would need to look at its own Development Code standards in order to ensure appropriate stacking distance and side- street connectivity and then request design exceptions from ODOT if needed. In response to a question from Mayor Dirksen, Assistant Community Development Director Bunch reiterated that the backage roads/shared parking lots solution is a local response to the plan, not part of the plan and is based upon the City's own land use authorities and policies. Councilor Buehner said she disagreed and wanted to see this become,part of the plan so it doesn't get lost. She said if it wasn't included she would not vote for the plan. Councilor Wilson said he agreed that these issues should be addressed. He mentioned that when looking on the Transportation and Grown Management website it specifically tulles about coupling land use with transportation. He said their backage road option needs to become part of this ODOT•fu nded plan. Assistant Community Director Bunch said, "My concern is one of practicality in that we do have this plan right now. We don't want to approach adoption of this plan based upon a specific element that can be accomplished through a local initiative." He said the City can accomplish these other things through another ODOT funded TGM plan Tigard's Transportation System Plan. 'I acrd(:ity(:uuncil Alerting A(inutcs Nuccrnbcr 20,2007 13 • • Mayor Dirksen recommended that Councilors Buchner and Wilson work with Assistant Community Development Director Bunch to see if they can come up with a compromise. The proposed Highway 99W Citizen Advisory Committee Recommendations were presented by Mr. Bunch. A copy of these recommendations is available in the City Recorder's Office. IIe invited two CAC members to offer their perceptions. Jesse Black said he represented the Tigard Chamber of Commerce. He thanked Mr. Bunch and Mr. Duenas for shepherding them on this Committee. He said die City needs to come to an agreement about what the problem on 99W is. He said ODOT just wants to get more cars through Tigard but he said he feels the problem is that there is too much congestion preventing citizens from getting to one side of town to the other, to get from their homes to businesses, etc. He said over 50% of the traffic doesn't originate or terminate in Tigard. Ile felt the only way to solve the problem was to re-route traffic from Highway 99W to I-5 and the hest bypass route is whatever can be built the soonest. He urged the City Council to help hurry.this along. Tim McGilvery said he was the bicycle advocate on the CAC and looked to tie many things together such as the downtown development and commuter rail. He said nothing can be done here about sprawl in Sherwood but there are ways that Tigard can improve transportation alternatives for their own citizens. He urged Council to ask citizens to move around in single-occupant vehicles. h-Ie said Fanno Creek is a jewel and the Fanno Creek Trail is fantastic. He recommended opening the Trail under the 99W Bridge as a way to give bicycles and pedestrians a connection to the trail system without traveling on 99W. Mayor Dirksen said Tigard meets regularly with Tri-Met about improving mass transit between Tigard and downtown Portland, as well as between nearby cities. He said Council is looking at bike lanes that don't exactly match the main street grids. 1\Ir. McGilvery said he supported getting rid of the bike lanes on 99W. 1 he said there may be resistance because it can be the flattest and fastest route but viable alternatives are available to 99W, which is noisy, smelly and dangerous for cyclists. He suggested developing a spoke and hub system to move citizens around. Councilor Wilson said he supported all 10 recommendations and suggested adding an eleventh - removing the bike lanes from 99W and putting them on parallel streets. I-he also suggested a twelfth — putting utility lines underground and adding a street tree program. IIe said die City was told years ago that the power lines were of too high a voltage to put underground but there wasn't the underground directional boring capacity then that is available now. He suggested the low voltage telephone and medium voltage lines could be removed from the poles since we're doing work there anyway and put underground. I-le said high voltage electrical lines could remain near the top of the pole, and street trees could be planted underneath them. • Tigard trdl City Council Alecling t linutes November 211,2111 17 1.1 • • Assistant Community Development Manager Bunch said working with the Tree Board might be feasible when planning the undergrounding of utilities to enhance the 99W aesthetics. 6.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Council is requested to become familiar with the Commission's recommendation to adopt Comprehensive Plan goals, policies,and recommended action measures pertaining to public facilities and services and identify any additional material or information to assist in making its decision at a public hearing scheduled for December 2007. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The proposed Public Facilities and Services chapter included in the amendment is a result of Council's direction to complete a full update of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. The updated chapter is based on the extensive inventory and facts included in the Tigard 2007 resource document that detailed current community conditions and trends. Additionally, staff considered relevant findings from past citizen surveys and the Tigard visioning project. This ensured that the expressed values and attitudes of the hundreds of citizens who participated in these efforts were incorporated into the update of the Comprehensive Plan. Council's direction to update the Comprehensive Plan also stressed the importance of garnering citizen input. Staff has done this through Policy Interest Teams that met several times. Through consideration of the above technical information and previously expressed values and attitudes, the Policy Interest Teams and staff formulated draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures to pass on to the Planning Commission. Subsequently, the Planning Commission held a public workshop on October 1, 2007 and a public hearing on November 5,2007. The Commission recommended the Council adopt the updated chapter (Attachment 1) included ill CPA2007-00004. At the public workshop, the Commission requested a few minor changes be made before bringing it back for the public hearing (Attachment 2). No further changes were requested at the public hearing. Like all updated Plan chapters that will come before Council, it is important that the Public Facilities and Services chapter be technically sound. Therefore, during the development of the chapter, Department Review Teams were involved to determine its technical accuracy and conformance with applicable laws and rules. Also,the updated chapter was sent to state, federal, and regional agencies for review. I:\LRPLN\COMPPLAN\Volumell\CPA\2007-00004\CC_Workshop\11-20-07AIS CC Workshop CPA 2007-00004.doc 1 110 411 The intent of the updated chapter is to provide Tigard a much better foundation on which to prepare ordinances, associated plans, development standards,programs, and intergovernmental agreements. This is necessary to provide the tools needed to address the appropriate coordination, location, and delivery of adequate, efficient, and effective public facilities and services. The availability of these facilities and services are essential to a high quality of life and the health, safety, and welfare of the community. For these reasons, the City and its partner agencies and districts must efficiently plan for the impacts of future growth and development on the facilities and services provided. By adopting the new Comprehensive Plan chapter,the City signals that it is committed to these principles,whether they are required by federal, state,and regional regulations,or simply the aspirations and wishes of the community. The proposed chapter provides a necessary update to the current language in the Comprehensive Plan,which is out of date and limited in scope. The Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) requires jurisdictions to periodically update their plans to reflect current conditions, regulations, and information relating to the Oregon Statewide Planning Goals. This amendment will act as a major stride in ensuring compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals through goals and policies that act as the basis to manage, maintain, and expand the public facilities and services of the community.

The provision of these facilities and services is essential to a high quality of life and the health, safety,and welfare of the community.Their availability is also vital to promoting and sustaining a strong local and regional economy. For these reasons,the City and its partner agencies and districts must efficiently plan for the impacts of future growth and development on the facilities and services provided. Statewide Planning Goal 11 requires Oregon jurisdictions to adopt Comprehensive Plans that provide goals and policies as the basis to manage,maintain,and expand the public facilities and services of the community. jOic, Y. GOAL 11: Public Facilities and Services z "To plan and develop a timely,orderly,and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." The community's vision is for a future where essential public facilities and ht..5 services are readily available to serve the needs of the community. They under- stand the importance of not only planning for and funding the facilities,but Y''\.\.1.1 A ensuring their continued maintenance.They also recognize the impact that new development places upon all services and want them to pay their fair share. +` The public library, senior center,public safety, and public schools are especially \\ 0 considered vital components of a high quality,livable community. Furthermore, i,1) it is recognized that expected population growth in the region will place increased pressure on existing public facilities and services. The City of Tigard has adopted the City of Tigard Public Facility Platy(1991) as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-11. The City will make appropriate updates to the Public Facility Plan on a regular basis as part of the Periodic Review process as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-25. Section 1: Stormwater Management The City stormwater infrastructure is a mix of natural and piped systems.As with most urban areas,the reliance on piped stormwater has been important to transport the water from impervious surfaces to the natural systems and move it out of the community. To ensure the system operates effectively,the natural components must remain in good condition to meet the primary objectives of protecting water quality and flood control.To accomplish these objectives, the City collaborates with Clean Water Services (C\VS) in the planning and manage- Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-1 • • PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES ment of the system.The plans currently used for City efforts are the CWS StormwaterManagement Plan (2006),which addresses water quality protection,and I anno Creek Watershed Management Plan(1997),which addresses flood control in the City. The 2006 StarniwaterManagement Plan (SWMP) is a requirement of the combined National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits held by CWS. The SWMP is revised on a five-rear cycle and was last updated in spring 2006. To implement the plan, the City has an inter-governmental agreement (IGA)with CWS as a "self-service provider."This designation means the City has operation and main- tenance authority over storm drain systems,water quality systems,.and roadside • ditches under City jurisdiction. The IGA outlines the CWS work program stan- dards that must be followed by the City. The 1997 Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan(Fanno Plan) prepared by CWS for all jurisdictions within the basin,is the principal plan for drainage in the City.The Fanno Plan covers 85% of Tigard (the remaining 15% of the juris- diction drains directly to the Tualatin River) and has been adopted by the City. Included in the plan is an inventory of drainage structures,an evaluation of their adequacy of capacity,and recommended City infrastructure improvements to reduce flooding. Funding for these projects is available through the Storm Sewer Fund that results from the collection of system development charges. In addition,the City is responsible for adopting policies and regulations that implement statewide land use goals to protect water quality and wildlife habitat. These policies and regulations must ensure that the impacts of new develop- ment on the stormwater infrastructure are minimized. One of the greatest impacts on stormwater infrastructure is the amount of impervious surface in a watershed. Impervious surfaces increase run-off into the stormwater system and increase the peak flow of storm events. Reducing the impervious surface coverage will encourage natural filtration and help to reduce the stormwater infrastructure needs,as well as reduce problems associated with scouring and erosion of stream channels from storm events. Although CWS does not have land use authority,they have been involved • in reducing the impacts of stormwater by developing the CWS Design and Construction Standards(2007) that have been adopted by and are implemented by the City.A city engineer performs the task of evaluating the stormwater infrastructure design during the development review process to make sure the standards are met. 11-2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan . • r IIII ■ In addition to the CWS Design and Construction Standards(2007), the City has adopted voluntary habitat friendly development provisions that may he utilized during new development. The provisions seek to protect wildlife habitat that has been identified within the community and includes low impact development practices that are meant to reduce stormwater flow. oh#4 ,C" Funding for the stormwater system is gener- ated from two sources.

The TVWD is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners and operates under the TV\VD W"ater Master Plan/Management flan(2007).Tigard has no role in the operation or management of TV D, but has collaborated with Comprehensive Plan City of Tigard 11-5 Ilk • PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES them on long-term supply studies and is also capable of sharing water in emer- gency situations. The City of Tigard took over the provision of water to the Tigard Water Service Area from the Tigard Water District in 1994.During the transfer of supply responsibilities,an IGA created oversight for the water system through the Inter- governmental Water Board (I.WB),which consists of a member from Tigard, Durham,King City,Tigard Water District,and one at-large member.The IGWB advises Tigard City Council on issues relating to rate setting and water supply. The City owns and operates the water distribution system under license from the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Oregon Water Resources Department. The Water Dirtribution Hydraulic Study(2000) is the current master plan for the City water supply system. The study provides direction for system improvements,including storage and distribution. Although the City owns a few wells,nearly 90%of the water supply is purchased from wholesale water providers such as the Portland Water Bureau (PWB).The City signed a 10-year agreement in summer 2006 to continue purchasing water from P\\B. In addition, the City purchases water from the City of Lake Oswego, which draws its water from the Clackamas River Basin.This lack of a City- owned supply has been identified as an important issue for the future and three long-term supply feasibility studies are in progress. The studies are in collabora- tion with neighboring jurisdictions and will evaluate various options for partner- ships in securing a long-term supply. During periods of high water demand,the City can supplement its supply with water from City-owned aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) wells and native groundwater wells. Additional supply is available for purchase from the Joint Water Commission QWC).Water from the JWC is delivered via the City of Beaverton system; making it Tigard's only fluoridated supply.The City also has system inter-ties with Tualatin and the Lake Grove Water District that allows sharing water under emergency conditions. In 2005, the Oregon Departments of Human Services and Environmental Quality conducted a source water assessment on Tigard's groundwater.Within the Tigard water service area, 50 sites were identified as potential sources of drinking water contamination if managed improperly. The City_of Tigard Water System is set up as an enterprise fund. The budget needs-no money from the City general fund and operates based solely on 11-6 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan S I I I I NMI revenue the Water System creates. System Development Charges for new construction and connections,and rates for water consumption are the two main sources of revenue for the budget. KEY FINDINGS • The expansion and maintenance of water supply and distribution infrastruc- ture is an important factor affecting growth and development. • As of November 2006,TVWD has approximately 1,920 service connections within the City of Tigard. There are 24 covered reservoirs in the TVNXTD system that can store 53 million gallons of water. • The City of Tigard Water Service provides potable water to approximately 55,990 people through approximately 17,300 residential, commercial,and industrial service connections. • The City of Tigard's water system contains 13 reservoirs with a total combined storage capacity of approximately 24.5 million gallons. • The City of Tigard's water distribution system contains eight pump stations to distribute potable water to residents around the Tigard Water Service Area. • The distribution system is composed of various pipe types in sizes up to 36 inches in diameter. The total length of piping in the service area is approxi- mately 209 miles. • Three feasibility studies are in progress and will help to provide direction for the City's long-term supply options. • The City has experienced a decrease in total and per capita consumption from 2001 to 2005 due to repairs made in water line leaks,rising costs,and the Water Conservation Program. • The Water Demand Forecast Report(2006) projects future annual water demand could range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons in the Tigard Water Service Area. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure.

The CWS Collection System iVlasterP/an Update(2000) is the current plan for waste- water collection in the Tualatin basin,including the City of Tigard:The primary focus of the plan was to analyze future capacity of the system and found that all existing lines within the City of Tigard have adequate capacity to accommodate anticipated growth. The City has also developed the Sanitary Sewer Facility Plan Map to help priori- tize projects and schedule improvements to the system through the Capital Improvement Plan (GIP). The facility map is continuously revised and shows the locations of all current and proposed lines within the Cite. The map allows the City to plan for new construction and also identify developed neighborhoods not currently being served by the wastewater system. The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program was established in 1996 by the City to extend public infrastructure to unconnected neighborhoods. This program encourages property owners to retire septic systems and connect to the City sewer system.The program does require property owners,upon connec- tion,to reimburse the City for a fair share of the total cost.To encourage participation,the City also established the Neighborhood Sewer Reimbursement District Incentive Program that provides options for limiting the financial burden on the property owner. In addition to the operation and maintenance of the existing wastewater system, the City is responsible for implementing the C\VS Design and Construction Standards(2007). Land use applicants are required to obtain a Public Facility Permit when connecting to City owned wastewater infrastructure and must comply with the standards as part of the development review process. This function is outlined in the IGA between CWS and Tigard and is carried out by a city engineer. Funding for the wastewater system is generated from three sources. First, devel- opers finance the construction of new sewer lines needed to service their new developments. Secondly,during the building permit process a connection fee is collected by the City. Most of the fee is transferred to CWS, but a portion of the fee is retained by the City for system improvements. Finally, the monthly sewer service fee is collected on the utility bill and a portion is retained by the /,City for operations and maintenance of the wastewater system. 11-10 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan NOW KEY FINDINGS • The expansion and maintenance of wastewater infrastructure is an impor- tant factor affecting growth and development. • The City coordinates the expansion,operation, and maintenance of waste- water infrastructure through an IGA with CWS as a "self-service provider." • As of October 2006, there were approximately 12,671 connections to the City's wastewater system. • The City owns and maintains 160 miles of wastewater mainline (6 to 21 inches). • Currently,29 neighborhoods (589 properties) have been provided the opportunity to connect through the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program. Another 17 neighborhoods have been identified as potential participants in the program. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the impact of growth on the community's natural resources. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. GOAL 11.3 Develop and maintain a wastewater collection system that meets the existing and future needs of the community. POLICIES 1. The Cite shall require that all new development: A. connect to the public wastewater system and pay a connection fee; B. construct the appropriate wastewater infrastructure;and C. comply with adopted plans and standards for wastewater management. 2. The City shall continue to collaborate with Clean Water Services in the planning,operation,and maintenance of a comprehensive wastewater management system for current and projected Tigard residents. 3. The City shall require the wastewater management system to comply with all applicable federal, state,and regional regulations and programs. Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-11 • PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES 4. The City shall require maintenance access to all wastewater infrastructure and easements. 5. The City shall prohibit the repair or replacement of septic tank systems within the City,to the extent it has jurisdiction, unless it is not feasible to connect to the wastewater system. 6. The City shall require annexation prior to any property receiving City waste- water services. 7. The City shall require wastewater fees to be adequate to fund the operations and maintenance of the system. RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES i. Collaborate with Washington County Department of Health and Human Services on developing an efficient protocol for notification of failed septic systems. ii. Regularly review and update fees and charges to ensure they are sufficient to meet the needed operational costs. iii. Identify and map properties not connected to the public wastewater system. iv. Continue the sewer extension program in order to encourage all properties to connect to the public wastewater system. v. Continue a proactive maintenance program to prolong the life of the infrastructure. vi. Develop and implement a Capital Replacement Program for the wastewater collection system. Section 4: Community Facilities The City of Tigard provides many community services,while special districts supply a portion of the facilities and services that make the community what it is today. All of these facilities and services must maintain a level of service that is adequate for the current population and,at the same time,must plan for and accommodate future growth and development within Tigard.This is why collab- oration during the development process is essential to ensuring the services will be available and funding options will continue to exist with an acceptable level of service. • City-owned facilities include the Tigard Public Library,the Senior Center,and a number of administrative and equipment storage facilities. The library is a new facility that was funded by a community bond measure and opened to the public in 2004. The library offers a wide range of services and programs and acts as a 11-12 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan 0, • 1111 community center for Tigard residents. The library has experienced a significant increase in use since the new facility was opened. The Senior Center is a hub of activities for the aging population in the commu- nity. Social events, classes,and meal services are a few of the offerings. Other City-owned facilities are dispersed around the community and house various City personnel and equipment. These facilities are vitally important to support the provision of public services to the community. Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age.children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. Only Tigard-Tualatin owns property and operates schools within the Tigard city limits. Both districts have seen steady growth over the years and are an important component of reviewing develop- ment applications to ensure school capacity is not exceeded.Additionally, this working relationship is important to finding appropriate sites for new school facilities that will limit the impacts to the neighborhood and traffic flow. Public safety is a critical component of a livable community. There must be adequate and effective services, as well as the necessary infrastructure, to respond to emergencies in a timely ly "Although not all and efficient manner. This not only applies to the current population and City departments are built environment within the City, but directly involved in also to new growth and development. land use planning, The Tigard Police Department provides police services,while their provision of Tualatin Valley Fire& Rescue • (1.VFR) provides fire protection services is affected and emergency services for the by growth and #Y community. Both have an inter- governmental agreement with the development." Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency (\\.%CCCr1) t for 911 service and public safety communications. TVFR is a fire district that covers 210 square miles,has a five-member board of directors and is funded through a permanent tax rate on properties within the district. Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-13 • • I- PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES A5 , One way for Tigard Police and TVFR to gauge their level of service is by i `^ tracking their incident response time.Both pride themselves on quick response X time to calls for service,but as development occurs,added traffic volumes and �s /37 a V the associated congestion can cause a delay in response time.This is illustrated in � the fact that TVFR has found a section of the City that could be better served. yI � (/ For that reason,TVFR has purchased property and is planning a new station )e:t .hs that will decrease the response times to those neighborhoods. !!'� Since growth and development will impact both fire and police services,Tigard Police and TVFR have the opportunity for review and comment during the iir—N/ land use application process. They evaluate proposed projects to ensure an adequate level of service exists for the development and no impediments will 4144 t.(r occur to hamper the ability to perform their functions. For"1"V FR,street design and placement is very important for access and egress of its equipment.A well connected street network is also essential to improving response times, for both fire and police services. During the land use application process,TVFR reviews hydrant locations, adequacy of firefighting water supplies,and viability of appa- ratus access to ensure meeting fire code requirements. In addition to providing a built environment that is accessible for safety equip- ment, the City has adopted the Oregon statewide minimum fire code and performs inspections on new construction.The fire code outlines the required equipment for various development types and sizes.Homeowners can volun- tarily take steps to reduce risk of fire by installing equipment and providing a defensible space around structures that are located in an area at risk of wildfire. KEY FINDINGS • Growth and development will place increasing demands on the Police Department,which currently has an average response time that has increased over the last 5 years to 4 minutes, 30 seconds per call. • Areas of high population density and commercial areas,particularly Washington Square Mall,place high demands on the Tigard Police Department. • TVFR provides fire protection services for the City through an IGA. • Three TVFR stations serve City residents,with one station located within City boundaries and a new station planned to be built at Walnut Street and 124th Avenue_ • The dependability of fire protection is based in part on the distribution and capacity of the City water supply. 11-14 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan .' NMI • The City owns all fire hydrants within its boundaries. • The community has an ISO fire insurance rating of 2, one of 15 in Oregon. • Street widths must be adequate for fire equipment access and egress,which may conflict with development that is promoting a pedestrian-friendly envi- ronment through narrower streets. • Appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment installed at the time of development is cost-effective and invaluable in reducing the community's risk to fire. • Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. The school district boundary dates back to 1910,prior to Tigard's incorporation. • In both 1993 and 2006 city surveys,Tigard residents named schools, educa- tion or school funding as top issues for the community (ranking 6th and 4th, respectively). • TTSD owns 23 properties (189 acres) in Tigard. The Beaverton School District does not own any property within Tigard. • • TT SD estimates slow steady growth: 4.6% rate by 2010,with no additional schools planned for City limits. ,\ • Beaverton is experiencing rapid growth and is looking for land for a future school in the southwestern quadrant,which includes schools attended by 'Tigard residents. • The new library has experienced increased usage (80%increase in visits from 1996 to 2006) since its completion,and as growth and development occur in the community, additional pressure will be put on the services offered. • The library is valued as a community center for public meetings and other events. • Although not all City departments are directly involved in land use planning, their provision of services is affected by growth and development.These impacts on government services must be considered during the land use application process,as well as additional facilities that would be needed to house them. • City sustainability programs will be evaluated for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Plan and may have an impact on future building renovations as it relates to the Tigard Community Development Code. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and'infrastructure.

Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 11-17 • • I I I I PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES ✓i;le-a Section 5: Fr: cx1hise Utilities Telecommunications, electricity,and natural gas/service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. The services provided by these private companies and the associated infrastruc- ture are essential to the community.As growth and development occurs within the community,the City must require that these services are available and coor- dinate their extension during the development process. This coordination,and cooperation between the various entities, helps to avoid conflict with current and planned infrastructure in the right-of-way.Additionally,uncoordinated utility installations in the public right-of-way may result in multiple street cuts and increased public costs to maintain curbs,gutters, streets,and sidewalks. The placement of utilities in the public right-of-way is regulated by the Tigard Community Development Code. During the development review process,a city engineer approves plans showing the location of utilities.New development is typically required to place utilities underground unless they are already in exis- tence above ground,or where the action would not be feasible. In certain cases, where undergrounding is not feasible and the utility crosses or is adjacent to a public right-of-way,an in-lieu of fee may be assessed and placed into a fund that is used to move existing utilities underground elsewhere in the City. The City has also recognized the demand for wireless communication services and adopted regulations for the facilities necessary to provide them. The infra- structure needed to support the services has a visual impact upon the commu- nity and collocation efforts are encouraged by the City to minimize that impact. Collocation is the practice of placing the communication equipment of two or more companies on one structure (wireless tower). KEY FINDINGS • Telecommunications,electricity, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utili- ties.These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in Chapter 15.06 of the Tigard Community Development Code and . pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. • As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must 11-18 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • ivkAid- LI ui.> . vi-lv _.......... ii ■ ensure that private utility services are available and coordinate their exten- sion during the development process. • Portland General Electric provides electricity service to Tigard residents. • Northwest Natural Gas provides natural gas service to Tigard residents. • Verizon and Qwest both provide telecommunication service to the �' / community. k, • Comcast provides cable service and high speed internet to Tigard residents. • Applicants for wireless telecommunication facilities are required to demon- strate that all other providers within the City were contacted to evaluate possible collocation efforts in order to try and minimize the visual impact upon the City.

Goal 3 states that only land that lies outside Urban Growth Boundaries can be classified as agricultural. This directs counties to identify,preserve, and maintain lands for farm use,consistent with existing and future needs for agricultural products, forest and open space and with the state's agricultural land use policy expressed in the Oregon Revised Statues. The City of Tigard,which is located entirely within an Urban Growth Boundary, therefore contains no agricultural land according to the definition of Statewide Planning Goal 3. However, the City of Tigard supports the efficient use of urban land within its city limits to help preserve designated farm lands in rural areas. By encouraging compact growth within the city,Tigard can help to slow urban expansion into rural areas. Chapter 14, Urbanization, discusses appropriate and timely urban expansion.

Land is considered forest land only if it was acknowledged as such when Goal 4 was adopted. The City of Tigard has not identified any forest lands within its city limits, therefore contains no commercial forestry land. For this reason, the City of Tigard has not adopted any goals or policies related to commer- cial forestry. However, the City of Tigard recognizes the importance of the management and preservation of urban trees and has adopted goals and policies pertaining to trees (see Chapter 2: Land Use and Chapter 5: Natural Resources). 4-1 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • • Attachment 2 UI • . MEMORANDUM T I GARD TO: Mayor Craig Dirksen and Members of City Council FROM: Darren Wyss, Associate Planner RE: Council Workshop - CPA2007-00004 DATE: November 6, 2007 At the November 20th City Council meeting, staff will present the proposed goals, policies, and recommended action measures (see the end of this memo for definitions and obligations) for the Public Facilities and Services (Statewide Planning Goal 11) chapter for the updated Comprehensive Plan. The proposed language was approved and recommended by the Planning Commission at a November 5th public hearing. Staff will discuss the proposed language; answer questions, and provide any requested information that will help assist Council in making its decision at the December public hearing. Throughout the process of working with citizens, city departments, and the Planning Commission, staff has stressed that proposed Comprehensive Plan language must be capable of being implemented and in the interests of the whole community. Staff has worked closely with citizen stakeholders to explain the implications of certain policy recommendations. Most of the time, the process has achieved a consensus outcome. In staffs role as facilitators, we presented the best professional advice possible to all involved. Sometimes this professional advice was contrary to the wishes of the citizens, but staff has not unilaterally changed or removed citizen recommendations. Rather, whether or not to amend citizen recommendations is the role of the Planning Commission to recommend and the City Council to decide upon. The Planning Commission, at a worksession, requested a few minor changes be made before Attachment 2 CPA2007-00004 Memo to Council 1 Nov 6,2007 • • • bringing the amendment back for public hearing. These requested changes are found below. No further changes were made to the Public Facilities and Services chapter at the public hearing and the language was approved as presented. Section 1: Stormwater Managment The Planning Commission inquired about the intent of Recommended Action Measures i and ii and requested that the mandatory language be removed. The Commission also felt that combining the two statements would make it more useful. i. Adopt watery natural resource and habitat friendly development standards that utilize incentives for developers to incorporate green concepts into their design. Section 2: Water Supply and Distribution The Planning Commission felt that Policy 1 needed to show a sense of immediacy without including a timeline. The agreed upon solution was to change the Policy to read: 1. The City shall prioritize securing an interest in a high quality, long-term water supply, which is financially feasible and reliable, to serve the Tigard Water Service Area. The Planning Commission inquired about a fluoridated water supply and requested that a Recommended Action Measure be added to assess the community's attitude on a fluoridated supply. x. Survey the community to gauge their attitude regarding a fluoridated water supply. Section 3: Wastewater Management No changes were requested by the Planning Commission. Section 4: Community Facilities No changes were requested by the Planning Commission. Section 5: Franchise Utilities The Planning Commission discussed the feasibility of a City funded wireless internet system, the need to limit visual impacts of wireless communication towers, and the need to stay Attachment 2 CPA2007-00004 Memo to Council 2 Nov 6,2007 • • informed of emerging technologies to ensure the City is positioned to effectively manage franchise utilities into the future. The Commission asked for the following Policies to be added: 5. The City shall manage the siting of wireless communication towers to minimize visual impacts on the community. 6. The City shall monitor emerging technologies to effectively manage franchise agreements into the future. And the following Recommended Action Measure: iv. Research the feasibility of and survey the community support for a City-owned wireless internet cloud. By adopting the language in the amendment, the City will take a step towards achieving the community's vision for a future where essential public facilities and services are readily available to serve the needs of the community; recognizing the importance of not only planning for and funding the facilities, but ensuring their continued maintenance; requiring new development to pay their fair share for the facilities and services; the public library, senior center, public safety, and public schools are especially considered vital components of a high quality, livable community; and expected population growth in the region will place increased pressure on existing public facilities and services.

PUBLIC HEARING PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 5,2007—Page 1 • • ~ 5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2007-00004-TIGARD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE OF STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 11: PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES REQUEST: Amendments to the current Comprehensive Plan Topics 7: Public Facilities and Services by updating the goals, policies and recommended action measures to reflect current community conditions and values. The complete text of the proposed Amendment can be viewed on the City's website at http://www.tigard-or.gov/code_ amendments. LOCATION: Citywide. ZONE: All City Zoning Districts. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Chapters 18.380, 18.390; Comprehensive Plan Policies 1, 2, 3, 4, 7,& 10; Metro Functional Plan Title 3 and 13; and Statewide Planning Goals 1, 2, 5, 6, 11 and 14. STAFF REPORT Darren Wyss presented the staff report on behalf of the City. He advised that the Commission would be recommending the goals, policies, and recommended action measures pertaining to Statewide Land Use Planning Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services to City Council. The language included in the amendment complies with the applicable state land use goals, the City's Municipal Code and Comprehensive Plan policies, as well as federal, state, and regional plans and regulations. The Commission held a workshop on October 1, 2007 to review draft language. A very thorough analysis resulted in the request for a few changes to be made before bringing the CPA back for the public hearing. These changes included: Section 1: Stormwater Management Combine recommended Action Measures i. and ii. and remove the word "mandatory." Section 2: Water Supply and Distribution Add "prioritize" to Policy 1. Add a recommended Action Measure to ask the community's attitude about fluoridated water. Section 3: Wastewater Management No changes requested. Section 4: Community Facilities No changes requested. Section 5: Franchise Utilities Add two policies to address siting of wireless towers to minimize visual impact and to monitor emerging technologies to be prepared to plan for and manage franchise utilities in the future. Also, add a recommended Action Measure to research the feasibility and survey the community about a City-owned wireless internet cloud. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 5,2007—Page 2 . . Staff recommends a few minor word changes based on another CPA that has gone before the City Council. Council feedback indicated their preference for the word "require" over "ensure," "inform" over "educate," and to not single out green concepts, but keep the wording as other measures. These changes are found in the staff report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval of the proposed language to Council for their review and approval. PUBLIC TESTIMONY None PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED Motion by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Commissioner Hasman, to forward a recommendation of approval to City Council of application CPA 2007-00004 and adoption of the findings contained in the staff report, based on the testimony received which was heard earlier.

WORKSHOP WITH TREE BOARD Tree Board members present: Janet Gillis, Dennis Sizemore, Tony Tycer, Kandace Horlings Tree Board Chair Janet Gillis gave a PowerPoint presentation (Exhibit A) that highlighted the tasks charged to the Tree Board and the work completed to date. She provided background information on the project and noted that the proposed policy language reflects ongoing work of the Board with input from the Polity Interest Team and the community. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES-October 1,2007-Page 1 • • She said the Tree Board is asking for direction and input from the Planning Commission on the proposed language for tree protection. After the Tree Board receives public comments and the results of the Metro canopy study, the Board will meet with the Planning Commission again. Associate Planner John Floyd advised that there is a perception that the canopy cover in Tigard is declining and that there is loss of trees. The proposed document looks at flexible standards and incentive-based standards. There are 3 broad differences between the proposed language and the current system: 1. The current system is based on numbers (how many you save, how many you take, caliper inches). There's no qualitative aspect to what we're saving. The new policies aim for a much more targeted preservation. It looks at things like native trees, preservation of existing trees over mitigation, and it prioritizes trees based on performance (e.g., canopy trees, stable trees, long-lived trees, and saving the cohesive nature of groves). 2. The current Planned Development standards don't work for some of the smaller infill projects. There needs to be a better way to offer incentives so people will use it. Also, the Policy Interest Team wants to have mandatory flexible standards —make people go through an alternatives analysis. 3. The currerit standards for such things as planter strips and sidewalks aren't very tree friendly. Following are questions and comments made during discussion of the draft policy language (responses are written in italics): • There isn't a goal specifically relating to diverse species. If we had significant disease or infestation, how would it be addressed? The number 1 goal is to enlarge, improve, and sustain a diverse urban forest to maximize the economic, ecological, and social benefits of trees and other vegetation. It is implied that this concern could be addressed with the language in policies #8 and#1 5 and action measure #x. Perhaps we could add additional language for this specific issue. Todd Prager, the City Arborist, will be overseeing selection of diverse trees that are available for public distribution. • Is keeping existing trees the primary consideration of the goals? The ideal thing is that you maintain whatyou have ifyou can, but if trees need to be taken out, there needs to be a plan for mitigation. • What about new trees for the future? The word "diverse"in Goal#1 relates to species diversity as well as age diversity. It's important to talk about mixed-age stands. • The policy language talks a lot about preservation, but there isn't a sense of looking forward 100 years. What are we going to plant now that's going to be a heritage tree? To enlarge, improve, and sustain an urban forest into future is one of the objectives that the City should have. Soil vaults should also be required for planting trees that will become heritage trees in the PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October I,2007—Page 2 • • • future. We need to design and engineer the plant's environment in order to make it work. If a developer wants to go through the expense to do that, there should be some kind of incentive. • Is there a way to provide links on the City's website for free educational resources? There are links already on the City's website. Also, action measure #viii talks about educational materials and programs. Perhaps it could be expanded to say, `Develop and maintain a website that would have links to resources to assist the community in planting, maintaining, and enhancing urban forests." • Perhaps we could have special tags on Tigard-approved trees at local garden centers. Maybe we could expand action measures#viii and#x to talk about that. We could also have approved tree lists posted on the walls at garden centers. • With regard to policy #3, what happens after construction? How do we minimize impacts after everybody is gone? This is where education comes in for the homeowner. It's not all the developer's responsibility. • In policy #6, is the idea that we are going to retrofit old neighborhoods, or are we talking about development moving forward? Primarily, we are talking about new development and when redevelopment occurs. This is really associated with Clean Water Services standards and green development practices. Are we going to require green development; are we talking about water quality? That's one end of the spectrum. The other end could be just planting parking lot trees. • How do we implement the language in policy #9 for private lots? The challenge is when there are changes in ownership. There are things we could do,perhaps bonding on conditions of approval or through code enforcement. When ownership changes hands, new owners buy the conditions of approval as well as the property. They have to continue to comply with the conditions of approval. We can do a lot by just enforcing the policies we already have. • In policy #17, what is meant by "support"? Does it mean we're financially obligating ourselves to support community groups? How about the word "embrace"? We should make the intent of the word clear. Perhaps we could say, "Support through actions and deeds." • In policy #19 — "...discourage the sale and propagation...," what are we obligating ourselves to and is it legal? As an example, certain nurseries in Portland won't sell English Ivy. Perhaps we could use the words "through actions and deeds"again. A letter to retailers from the Arborist with a list of things the City would like to see and things we don't like could be one kind of discouragement. When landscape plans are put together for new subdivisions could be a time for input. • It seems that policy #19 could be stepping out of what the City could be legally allowed to do. There are 2 components that could occur here. One is to encourage retailers not PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 1,2007—Page 3 • • • to sell things, which might not be very realistic. The other is what other cities and counties have done— make it illegal to plant and propagate certain species. It is actually spelled out in their municipal codes. • Maybe there is a way to flip the wording in #19 from the negative (from discourage to encourage). This is where the website could be helpful on a continuing basis. • Should policy #21 begin with the words "The City shall..."? Also, should we add the words "and screening" after "buffering" and should we use the term "incompatible uses" or "differing land uses"? • For action measure #ii, what can we require of a developer as far as after development? All they can really do is educate. We can go back to the transfer of conditions of approval. When the applicant goes for development approval, would they have to have an inspection and enforcement program in place before they can get approval? Perhaps we can get rid of the words `as part of'and put "by"development approval. We gauge our enforcement program on the requirements of development approval. President Inman agreed with this. The words "as part of" mean that you have to have it before approval; the word "by" translates it to after approval. • In action measure #iii— "inspection and enforcement program for non- development related tree management" — does this mean private lots? If a homeowner wanted to take down a tree in their yard, would they have to comply with the City's landscape standards and tree protection ordinance? There are 3 parts to this: street trees, sensitive areas, and individual lots. Heritage trees have been protected through deed restrictions. The Tree Board looked at tree removal ordinances in Lake Oswego, where removal over a certain number of caliper inches would require a permit;certain species would also require a permit. Invasive species wouldn't require a permit. The Tree Board has not gotten to specifics of this action measure yet. • There are certain fundamentals of action measure #iii that are going to polarize the community. We need to be very clear what the action measure is intending to do. Perhaps a future action measure could be "Work with the community to ascertain the future level of tree regulations." • What is the end purpose for action measure #v? One would be to go back and learn from our mistakes— what works, what doesn't. Another would be to work in partnership with other groups such as Friends of Trees to learn where our problem areas are. There is no kind of enforcement with this;it's an informational, educational, supporting community program. • In action measure #vi, why do we want to maintain an inventory of removals? This would be a part of tree inventories. The inventory is a critical aspect of this whole process. It gives us a starting point of what we actually have. Updates to the inventory will show fluctuations over time and will show if the policies are effectively doing what we're tying to accomplish. It will give us PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 1,2007—Page 4 • • more tools in the future. • Is action measure #ix the same as #iv? It's a strong statement to require consideration of new incentives and penalties. This is where the word incentive is the strongest in the action measures. The word penalO emerged out of the Policy Interest Team meetings. The Tree Board talked more about incentives because penalties exist currently. This might be redundant. Public Comments The Planning Commission received comments on the proposed language from members of the public. John Frewing— Exhibit B. Susan Beilke —Exhibit C Alan DeHarpport—Exhibits D and E 6. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN—PUBLIC FACILITIES WORKSHOP Associate Planner Darren Wyss presented the draft goals, policies, and action measures for the Public Facilities and Services chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. He noted that this is the same process of working with a Policy Interest Team (PIT) and City department review team to come up with the proposed language. Some of the key principles the PIT came up with are ensuring that development pays their fair share of infrastructure costs; continued collaboration and cooperation with partner agencies and districts; striving for efficient planning and expansion of the infrastructure; protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the community; and ensuring that appropriate public facilities and services contribute to a complete community. During review of the proposed language, the following questions/comments were made (responses are written in italics): • Do studies look at Tigard having a role in ownership of purification plants in regional rivers? Currently, there are 3 feasibiliy studies in process looking at a long-term water supply— one is with Lake Oswego, one is with the joint Water Commission, one is the Wilsonville Willamette River plan. Tigard is looking at their options for finding a long-term water supply for the community. Some of the options could be joint ownership or providingfinancial backing for expansion of facilities. • Commissioner Doherty advised that she sent questions to Wyss earlier in the day. The questions and answers are included in Exhibit F. • For action measure #i— does this mean that we will require green, low-impact, sustainable impact standards? Yes, that was from the habitat friendly development standards that the Commission saw last fall that dealt with Goal S. The standards are currently voluntary and PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 1,2007—Page 5 • • the PIT wanted to go a step further in making some of those mandatory. The City currently follows CWS standards; this could be supplemental if we required additional standards on top of that. If we required a developer to use pervious asphalt, they may not get any credit from CWS for doing so. It could be expensive for the developer. A lot of jurisdictions will give the developer a deduction to keep the costs the same or somewhat comparable. Staff will re-visit the issue and come up with some alternatives. It was suggested that we strike the word mandatory or use a combination of action measures#i and#ii. • In Goal 11.2, would we benefit by staking a claim to a certain portion of the regional water by being an owner of a purification facility? The City does have groundwater rights, but because we're in a groundwater limited area, we can only withdraw out of 1 of our 3 groundwater wells right now. We purchase our water from Portland. Staff is not aware of any other water rights. In 15-20 years, we do want to be in the position where we have some kind of ownership of our water supply. • Would it be a benefit to be an early stakeholder for water in the regional rivers? Yes, we want to have an interest in the water supply to meet the community's needs. That's what policy #1 intends. The policies don't seem to have a sense of immediacy. It does not say that we'll meet the goal by a certain date. Without that specificity, there isn't pressure to meet the target. This was a priority 15 years ago. The joint Water Commission has not completed their water study for Washington Countyyet. It probably won't be complete for a couple of years. It would be difficult to assign ayear to the policy. • We could tell Council that we think this is a high priority, but to put a timeline with any policy planning is not a good way to go. We could change the language to say, `The City's priority shall be to secure interest in high-quality, longterm water supply..." • President Inman suggested changing the language to read, "The City shall prioritize securing an interest in high-quality, long term water supply..." • The issue of fluoridation was brought up. Could we bring the issue to the voters? Staff will put an action measure together and email it to the Commission. • Under stormwater management, should there be an action measure to create an incentive for people that disconnect from the City's storm water? It's in the incentives, but just not specific. • Have we adequately addressed cell phone towers under franchise utilities? And, to take it a step further, do we have something for emerging technologies? This chapter of the Comp Plan deals with the land use side of public facilities and services. The Comp Plan deals with 2 different things— land use regulations and the aspirational side. The PIT didn't discuss the aspirational side. If the Commission would like, we could add something such as, it is the policy of the City to provide wireless communication." PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 1,2007—Page 6 • • • Isn't this consumer-driven? Yes, and it's also a promotional economic development issue. • Do we want to deal with more PR and aspirational things, or do we want to stick with land use issues? We don't want to litter the landscape with towers; collocation is key. Have other communities given some thought to emerging technologies? The City of Tigard currently has a pretty strong collocation code for wireless communication. We're pretty strict about enforcing installation of new wireless facilities. Maybe we should have a wait and monitor policy for now. • Should we have a policy for wireless communications that says the City shall manage the siting of wireless communication facilities to limit the visual impacts or other kinds of impacts they have on the community? • Do we have an obligation to the general public to provide wi-fi? Perhaps it would be appropriate to think about including it in the Downtown master planning. • There is a perception that any regulatory process in the State has to address the need for the underserved. We need to be aware of the PUC's regulations. • Does the Commission want to address any of the issues associated with new or emerging communication or energy technology to promote access to Tigard residents and businesses? We should monitor that there's adequate equitable access. Our language should be flexible enough to handle emerging technologies that come along as it affects the franchising, our rights-of-way, and access. Use the words emerging technology rather than specific terms. Staff suggested, `The City shall monitor emerging technologies to effectively manage franchise agreements into the future." 7.

TIGARD TO: Planning Commission FROM: Darren Wyss, Associate Planner • RE: Public Facilities and Services Workshop DATE: September 24, 2007 At the Oct 1" Planning Commission meeting, staff will present the draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures for the Public Facilities and Services chapter for Planning Commission review, discussion, and editing. The draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures were created based on a number of activities and include: • Tigard Beyond Tomorrow Visioning Process • Community surveys over the past several years • Tigard 2007 Resource Report • Citizen review of draft goals at two Comprehensive Plan open houses • Citizen input at Policy Interest Team meetings These draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures are intended to reflect the community's values and aspirations for land use planning. They also aim to organize and coordinate the relationships between people, land, resources, and facilities to meet the current and future needs of Tigard. This meeting gives the Planning Commission the opportunity to ask questions of staff on the concepts or content of the language that is included in the draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures. This is also the appropriate time to evaluate the citizen input versus the views of the Commission on what it ultimately recommends to City Council. The intended outcome of the meeting would be a consensus on the final draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures that will be brought before the Planning Commission for a public hearing on November 5`h. To meet this timeline, a thorough review of the materials before the meeting, with questions ready, will help to ensure a focused review and discussion that is efficient. If unable to finish the review during the October 1st meeting, it will continue to the October 15`h meeting. Remember, staff is available to answer any questions that you may have leading up to the meeting and we encourage you to call or email. Getting all questions answered and the appropriate information will help to facilitate a productive discussion. For questions on Public Facilities and Services, contact Darren Wyss at 503-718-2442 or darren @igard-or.gov 1 • • • The attached material for the topic includes: • Draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures • `Building blocks" based on the Tigard 2007 Resource Report, visioning process, and surveys that were used with the Policy Interest Teams to provide them with a structure to help develop draft policies. Additions/comments from citizens are included as underlined text, while deletions contain a strikethrough • • Key findings from the Tigard 2007 Resource Report • • Community Issues/Values gleaned from the visioning process and community surveys • Text from the current Comprehensive Plan to be deleted when the new goals, policies, and action measures are adopted by City Council • Included below are some definitions that may be helpful to your review: Goal Definition - A general statement indicating a desired end or the direction the City will follow to achieve that end. Obligation - The City cannot take action which violates a goal statement unless: 1. Action is being taken which clearly supports another goal. 2. There are findings indicating the goal being supported takes precedence (in the particular case) over another. Policy Definition -A statement identifying Tigard's position and a definitive course of action. Policies are more specific than goals. They often identify the City's position in regard to implementing goals. However, they are not the only actions the City can take to accomplish goals. Obligation - The City must follow relevant policy statements when amending the Comprehensive Plan, or developing other plans or ordinances which affect land use such as public facility plans, and zoning and development standards or show cause why the Comprehensive Plan should be amended consistent with the Statewide Land Use Goals. Such an amendment must take place following prescribed procedures prior to taking an action that would otherwise violate a Plan policy. However, in the instance where specific plan policies appear to be conflicting, the City shall seek solutions which maximize each applicable policy objective within the overall context of the Comprehensive Plan and Statewide Goals. As part of this balancing and weighing process, the City shall consider whether the policy contains mandatory language (e.g., shall, require) or more discretionary language (e.g., may, encourage). • 2 • • Recommended Action Measures Definition -A statement which outlines a specific City project or standard which, if executed,would implement goals and policies. Recommended action measures also refer to specific projects, standards, or courses of action the City desires other jurisdictions to take in regard to specific issues. These statements also define the relationship the City desires to have with other jurisdictions and agencies in implementing Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. Obligation - Completion of projects, adoption of standards, or the creation of certain relationships or agreements with other jurisdictions and agencies,will depend on a number of factors such as citizen priorities, finances, staff availability, etc. The City should periodically review and prioritize recommended action measures based on current circumstances, community needs and the City's goal and policy obligations. These statements are suggestions to future City decision-makers as ways to implement the goals and policies. The listing of recommended action measures in the plan does not obligate the City to accomplish them. Neither do recommended action measures impose obligations on applicants who request amendments or changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The list of recommended action measures is not exclusive. It may be added to, or amended, as conditions warrant. • • 3 • • Public Facilities and Services Public Facilities and Services addresses their appropriate coordination, location, and delivery in a manner that best supports the existing and proposed land uses. The provision of these facilities and services are essential to a high quality of life and the health,safety, and welfare of the community. Their availability is also vital to promoting and sustaining a strong local and regional economy. For these reasons, the City and its partner agencies and districts must efficiently plan for the impacts of future growth and development on the facilities and services provided. Statewide Planning Goal 11 requires Oregon jurisdictions to adopt Comprehensive Plans that provide goals and policies as the basis to manage, maintain, and expand the public facilities and services of the community. Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services `To plan and develop a timely, orderly, and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." . The community's vision is for a future where essential public facilities and services are readily available to serve the needs of the community. They understand the importance of not only planning for and funding the facilities, but ensuring their continued maintenance. They also recognize the impact that new development places upon all services and want them to pay their fair share. The public library, senior center, public safety, and public schools are especially considered vital components of a high quality, livable community. Furthermore, it is recognized that expected population growth in the region will place increased pressure on existing public facilities and services. The City of Tigard has adopted a Public Facility Plan as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660-11. The City will make appropriate updates to the Public Facility Plan on a regular basis as part of the Periodic Review process as required by Oregon Administrative Rule 660- 25. Section 1: Stormwater Management The City stormwater infrastructure is a mix of natural and piped systems. As with most urban areas, the reliance on piped stormwater has been important to transport the water from impervious surfaces to the natural systems and move it out of the community. To ensure the system operates effectively, the natural components must remain in good condition to meet the primary objectives of protecting water quality and flood control. To accomplish these objectives, the City collaborates with Clean Water Services (CWS) in the planning and management of the system. The plans currently used for City efforts are the CWS Stormwater Management Plan, which addresses water quality protection, and Fanno Creek • Watershed Management Plan,which.addresses flood control in the City. The Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is a requirement of the combined National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits held by CWS. The SWMP is revised on a five-year cycle and was last updated in spring 2006. To implement the plan, the City has an inter-governmental agreement (IGA) with CWS as a "self-service provider." This designation means the City has CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 1 GOAL 11 • • operation and maintenance authority over storm drain systems, water quality systems, and roadside ditches under City jurisdiction. The IGA outlines the CWS work program standards that must be followed by the City. The 1997 Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan (Fanno Plan) prepared by CWS for all jurisdictions within the basin, is the principal plan for drainage in the City. The Fanno Plan covers 85% of Tigard (the remaining 15% of the jurisdiction drains directly to the Tualatin River) and has been adopted by the City. Included in the plan is an inventory of drainage structures, an evaluation of their adequacy of capacity, and recommended City infrastructure improvements to reduce flooding. Funding for these projects is available through the Storm Sewer Fund that results from the collection of system development charges. In addition, the City is responsible for adopting policies and regulations that implement statewide land use goals to protect water quality and wildlife habitat. These policies and regulations must ensure that the impacts of new development on the stormwater infrastructure are minimized. One of the greatest impacts on stormwater infrastructure is the amount of impervious surface in a watershed. Impervious surfaces increase run-off into the stormwater system and increase the peak flow of storm events. Reducing the impervious surface coverage will encourage natural filtration and help to reduce the stormwater infrastructure needs, as well as reduce problems associated with scouring and erosion of stream channels from storm events. Although CWS does not have land use authority, they have been involved in reducing the impacts of stormwater by developing the CWS Design and Construction Standards that have been adopted by and are implemented by the City. A city engineer performs the task of evaluating the stormwater infrastructure design during the development review process to make sure the standards are met. In addition to the CWS Design and Construction Standards, the City has adopted voluntary habitat friendly development provisions that may be utilized during new development. The provisions seek to protect wildlife habitat that has been identified within the community and includes low impact development practices that are meant to reduce stormwater flow. • Funding for the stormwater system is generated from two sources. The first is from System Development Charges (SDCs) that are assessed on new developments that cannot provide their own water quantity and quality facilities. The money is placed in the Storm Sewer Fund, which is managed by CWS and used for capital projects included in plans formulated by CWS. The second, the Surface Water Management Fee, is a monthly charge that is collected on utility bills. The City keeps 75% of this fee for operations and maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure. Key Findings • The expansion and maintenance of stormwater infrastructure is an important factor affecting growth and development. • Objectives of the stormwater system are the protection of water quality and flood control and are addressed through the CWS StormwvaterManagement Plan and the Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan.

This area includes most of the City's residents and also the City of Durham, King City, and the Bull Mountain area of unincorporated Washington County;which is represented by the Tigard Water District. The northeast corner of the City is supplied water by the Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD), which operates independently from the City of Tigard. The TVWD is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners and operates under the TVWD Water Master Plan/Management Plan. Tigard has no role in the operation or management of TVWD, but has collaborated with them on long-term supply studies and is also capable of sharing water in emergency situations. • The City of Tigard took over the provision of water to the Tigard Water Service Area from the Tigard Water District in 1994. During the transfer of supply responsibilities, an IGA created oversight for the water system through the Intergovernmental Water Board (IGWB), which consists of a member from Tigard, Durham, King City, Tigard Water District, and one at-large member. The IGWB advises Tigard City Council on issues relating to rate setting and water supply. The City owns and operates the water distribution system under license from the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Oregon Water Resources Department. The Water Distribution Hydraulic Study is the current master plan for the City water supply system. The study provides direction for system improvements, including storage and distribution. Although the City owns a few wells, nearly 90% of the water supply is purchased from wholesale water providers such as the Portland Water Bureau (PWB). The City signed a 10- CPA2007-00004 • City of Tigard 4 GOAL 11 • S year agreement in summer 2006 to continue purchasing water from PWB. In addition, the City purchases water from the City of Lake Oswego, which draws its water from the • Clackamas River Basin. This lack of a City-owned supply has been identified as an important issue for the future and three long-term supply feasibility studies are in progress. The studies are in collaboration with neighboring jurisdictions and will evaluate various options for partnerships in securing a long-term supply. During periods of high water demand, the City can supplement its supply with water from City-owned aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) wells and native groundwater wells. Additional supply is available for purchase from the Joint Water Commission (JWC). Water from the JWC is delivered via the City of Beaverton system; making it Tigard's only fluoridated supply. The City also has system inter-ties with Tualatin and the Lake Grove Water District that allows sharing water under emergency conditions. In 2005, the Oregon Departments of Human Services and Environmental Quality conducted a source water assessment on Tigard's groundwater. Within the Tigard water service area, 50 sites were identified as potential sources of drinking water contamination if managed improperly. The City of Tigard Water System is set up as an enterprise fund. The budget needs no money from the City general fund and operates based solely on revenue the Water System creates. System Development Charges for new construction and connections, and rates for water consumption are the two main sources of revenue for the budget. • Key Findings • The expansion and maintenance of water supply and distribution infrastructure is an important factor affecting growth and development. • As of November 2006, TVWD has approximately 1,920 service connections within the City of Tigard. There are 24 covered reservoirs in the TVWD system that can store 53 million gallons of water. • The City of Tigard Water Service provides potable water to approximately 55,990 people through approximately 17,300 residential, commercial, and industrial service connections. • The City of Tigard's water system contains 13 reservoirs with a total combined storage capacity of approximately 24.5 million gallons. • The City of Tigard's water distribution system contains eight pump stations to distribute potable water to residents around the Tigard Water Service Area. • The distribution system is composed of various pipe types in sizes up to 36 inches in diameter. The total length of piping in the service area is approximately 209 miles. • Three feasibility studies are in progress and will help to provide direction for the City's long-term supply options. • The City has experienced a decrease in total and per capita consumption from 2001 to 2005 due to repairs made in water line leaks, rising costs, and the Water Conservation Program. • The Water Demand Forecast Report (2006)projects population growth from 12,053 to 17,725 persons in the Tigard Water Service Area. • Future annual water demand could range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons.

The agreement assigns the City enforcement of design and construction standards, rules and regulations, and rates and charges governing the use of, and connection to, the wastewater system. In return, CWS acts as the regional wastewater authority that provides, owns, and maintains sewer lines with a diameter of 24 inches or greater (the City owns less than 24-inch lines), as well as pump stations and treatment facilities. CWS is also responsible for the planning of wastewater collection in the Tualatin River basin. CWS owns and operates the Durham Wastewater Treatment Facility. The facility is operating under the basin-wide NPDES permit and is in compliance with Clean Water Act regulations. The City has an IGA with Clean Water Services to perform management and maintenance tasks on City-owned wastewater infrastructure to ensure continued compliance with the regulations. The CWS Collection System Master Plan Update is the current plan for wastewater collection in CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 7 GOAL 11 • • • the Tualatin basin, including the City of Tigard. The primary focus of the plan was to analyze future capacity of the system and found that all existing lines within the City of Tigard have adequate capacity to accommodate anticipated growth. • The City has also developed the Sanitary Sewer Facility Plan Map to help prioritize projects and schedule improvements to the system through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The facility map is continuously revised and shows the locations of all current and proposed lines within the City. The map allows the City to plan for new construction and also identify developed neighborhoods not currently being served by the wastewater system. The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program was established in 1996 by the City to extend public infrastructure to unconnected neighborhoods. This program encourages property owners to retire septic systems and connect to the City sewer system:The program does require property owners, upon connection, to reimburse the City for a fair share of the total cost. To encourage participation, the City also established the Neighborhood Sewer Reimbursement District Incentive Program that provides options for limiting the financial burden on the property owner. In addition to the operation and maintenance of the existing wastewater system, the City is responsible for implementing the CWS Design and Construction Standards. Land use applicants are required to obtain a Public Facility Permit when connecting to City owned wastewater infrastructure and must comply with the standards as part of the development review process. This function is outlined in the IGA between CWS and Tigard and is carried out by a city engineer. Funding for the wastewater system is generated from three sources. First, developers finance the construction of new sewer lines needed to service their new developments. Secondly, during the building permit process a connection fee is collected by the City. Most of the fee is transferred to CWS, but a portion of the fee is retained by the City for system improvements. Finally, the monthly sewer service fee is collected on the utility bill and a portion is retained by the City for operations and maintenance of the wastewater system. Key Findings • The expansion and maintenance of wastewater infrastructure is an important factor affecting growth and development. . • The City coordinates the expansion, operation, and maintenance of wastewater infrastructure through an IGA with CWS as a "self-service provider." • • As of October 2006, there were approximately 12,671 connections to the City's wastewater system. . • The City owns and maintains 160 miles of wastewater mainline (6 to 21 inches). • Currently, 29 neighborhoods (589 properties) have been provided the opportunity to connect through the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program. Another 17 neighborhoods have been identified as potential participants in the program. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon • the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the impact of growth on the community's CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 8 GOAL 11 • natural resources. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services,which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. • Goal 11.3 Develop and maintain a wastewater collection system that meets the existing and future needs of the community. Policies 1. The City shall require that all new development: A. connect to the public wastewater system and pay a connection fee; B. construct the appropriate wastewater infrastructure; and C. comply with adopted plans and standards for wastewater management. 2.

Continue a proactive maintenance program to prolong the life of the infrastructure. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 9 GOAL 11 • vi. Develop and implement a Capital Replacement Program for the wastewater collection system. Section 4: Community Facilities The City of Tigard provides many community services, while special districts supply a portion of the facilities and services that make the community what it is today. All of these facilities and services must maintain a level of service that is adequate for the current population and, at the same time, must plan for and accommodate future growth and development within Tigard. This is why collaboration during the development process is essential to ensuring the services will be available and funding options will continue to exist with an acceptable level of service. City-owned facilities include the Tigard Public Library, the Senior Center, and a number of administrative and equipment storage facilities. The library is a new facility that was funded by a community bond measure and opened to the public in 2004. The library offers a wide range of services and programs and acts as a community center for Tigard residents. The library has experienced a significant increase in use since the new facility was opened. The Senior Center is a hub of activities for the aging population in the community. Social events, classes, and meal services are a few of the offerings. Other City-owned facilities are dispersed around the community and house various City personnel and equipment. These facilities are vitally important to support the provision of public services to the community. Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton. Only Tigard-Tualatin owns property and operates schools within the Tigard city limits. Both districts have seen steady growth over the years and are an important component of reviewing development applications to ensure school capacity is not exceeded. Additionally, this working relationship is important to finding appropriate sites for new school facilities that will limit the impacts to the neighborhood and traffic flow. Public safety is a critical component of a livable community. There must be adequate and effective services, as well as the necessary infrastructure, to respond to emergencies in a timely and efficient manner. This not only applies to the current population and built environment within the City, but also to new growth and development. The Tigard Police Department provides police services, while Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVFR) provides fire protection and emergency services for the community. Both have an intergovernmental agreement with the Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency (WCCCA) for 911 service and public safety communications. TVFR is a fire district that covers 210 square miles, has a five-member board of directors and is funded through a permanent tax rate on properties within the district. One way for Tigard Police and TVFR to gauge their level of service is by tracking their incident response time. Both pride themselves on quick response time to calls for service, CPA2007-00004 City of.Tigard 10 GOAL 11 • • but as development occurs, added traffic volumes and the associated congestion can cause a delay in response time. This is illustrated in the fact that TVFR has found a section of the City that could be better served. For that reason, TVFR has purchased property and is planning a new station that will decrease the response times to those neighborhoods. Since growth and development will impact both fire and police services,Tigard Police and TVFR have the opportunity for review and comment during the land use application process. They evaluate proposed projects to ensure an adequate level of service exists for the development and no impediments will occur to hamper the ability to perform their functions. For TVFR, street design and placement is very important for access and egress of its equipment. A well connected street network is also essential to improving response times, for both fire and police services. During the land use application process, TVFR reviews hydrant locations, adequacy of firefighting water supplies, and viability of apparatus access to ensure meeting fire code requirements. In addition to providing a built environment that is accessible for safety equipment, the City has adopted the Oregon statewide minimum fire code and performs inspections on new construction. The fire code outlines the required equipment for various development types and sizes. Homeowners can voluntarily take steps to reduce risk of fire by installing equipment and providing a defensible space around structures that are located in an area at risk of wildfire. Key Findings • Growth and development will place increasing demands on the Police Department, which currently has an average response time that has increased over the last 5 years to 4 minutes, 30 seconds per call. • Areas of high population density and commercial areas, particularly Washington Square Mall, place high demands on the Tigard Police Department. • TVFR provides fire protection services for the City through an IGA. • Three TVFR stations serve City residents,with one station located within City boundaries and a new station planned to be built at Walnut Street and 124`'' Avenue. • The dependability of fire protection is based in part on the distribution and capacity of the City water supply. • The City owns all fire hydrants within its boundaries. • The community has an ISO fire insurance rating of 2, one of 15 in Oregon. • Street widths must be adequate for fire equipment access and egress,which may conflict with development that is promoting a pedestrian-friendly environment through narrower streets. • Appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment installed at the time of development is cost-effective and invaluable in reducing the community's risk to fire. • Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard- Tualatin and Beaverton. The school district boundary dates back to 1910, prior to • Tigard's incorporation. • In both 1993 and 2006 city surveys,Tigard residents named schools, education or school funding as top issues for the community (ranking 6th and 4th, respectively). CPA2007-00004 ' City of Tigard 11 GOAL 11 • r I • I i SD owns 23 properties (189 acres) in Tigard. The Beaverton School District does not own any property within Tigard. • TTSD estimates slow steady growth: 4.6% rate by 2010,with no additional schools planned for City limits. • Beaverton is experiencing rapid growth and is looking for land for a future school in the southwestern quadrant, which includes schools attended by Tigard residents. • The new library has experienced increased usage (80% increase in visits from 1996 to 2006) since its completion, and as growth and development occur in the community, additional pressure will be put on the services offered. • The library is valued as a community center for public meetings and other events. • Although not all City departments are directly involved in land use planning, their provision of services is affected by growth and development. These impacts on government services must be considered during the land use application process, as well as additional facilities that would be needed to house them. • City sustainability programs will be evaluated for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Plan and may have an impact on future building renovations as it relates to the Tigard Community Development Code. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about population increases and the impact upon the community. • The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the future of public services, which includes safety, schools and infrastructure. Goal • 11.4 Ensure adequate public facilities and services to meet the health, safety, education, and leisure needs of all Tigard residents. Policies 1. The City shall support the provision of accessible public facilities and services through ensuring adequate administrative and general governance services. 2.

Section 5: Franchise Utilities Telecommunications, electricity, and natural gas service are provided to residents and CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 13 GOAL 11 • . • business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in the Tigard Municipal Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. • The services provided by these private companies and the associated infrastructure are essential to the community. As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must ensure that these services are available and coordinate their extension during the development process. This coordination, and cooperation between the various entities, helps to avoid conflict with current and planned infrastructure in the right-of-way. Additionally, uncoordinated utility installations in the public right-of-way may result in multiple street cuts and increased public costs to maintain curbs, gutters, streets,and sidewalks. The placement of utilities in the public right-of-way is regulated by the Tigard Community Development Code. During the development review process, a city engineer approves plans showing the location of utilities. New development is typically required to place utilities underground unless they are already in existence above ground, or where the action would not be feasible. In certain cases, where undergrounding is not feasible and the utility crosses or is adjacent to a public right-of-way, an in-lieu of fee may be assessed and placed into a fund that is used to move existing utilities underground elsewhere in the City. The City has also recognized the demand for wireless communication services and adopted regulations for the facilities necessary to provide them. The infrastructure needed to support the services has a visual impact upon the community and collocation efforts are encouraged by the City to minimize that impact. Collocation is the practice of placing the communication equipment of two or more companies on one structure (wireless tower). Key Findings • Telecommunications, electricity, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in Chapter 15.06 of the Tigard Community Development Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. • As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must ensure that private utility services are available and coordinate their extension during the development process. • Portland General Electric provides electricity service to Tigard residents. • Northwest Natural Gas provides natural gas service to Tigard residents. • Verizon and Qwest both provide telecommunication service to the community. . • Comcast provides cable service and high speed internet to Tigard residents. • Applicants for wireless telecommunication facilities are required to demonstrate that all other providers within the City were contacted to evaluate possible collocation efforts in order to try and minimize the visual impact upon the City. Goal 11.5 Ensure private utilities provide the needed energy and communication services for the community. CPA2007-00004 City of Tigard 14 GOAL 11 • • Policies 1. The City shall require that all new development: A. secure the required energy and communication utilities; B. place new utilities underground, when feasible, or pay an in-lieu-of fee when crossing or adjacent to a public right-of-way; and C. provide necessary easements for energy and communication services. 2. The City shall require the placement of existing services underground, when feasible, or pay an in-lieu-of fee during redevelopment or street construction. 3. The City shall coordinate with private utilities during installation to minimize public costs to maintain curbs, gutters, streets, and sidewalks. 4. The City shall require the collocation of wireless communication services on existing towers whenever possible. Recommended Action Measures i.

Below are the key findings from the Public Facilities and Services chapter of the document (which can be found in its entirety at wwv.-.tigarcl-or.gov/2027 ). Please review the key findings as they will provide important background information when discussing goals, policies,and action measures. KEY FINDINGS—PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE • The expansion and maintenance of stormwater, wastewater, and drinking water infrastructure are important factors affecting growth and development. • Objectives of the stormwater system are the protection of water quality and flood control and are addressed through the CWS Stormwater Management Plan and the Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan. • The City coordinates the expansion, operation, and maintenance of stormwater and wastewater infrastructure through an IGA with CWS as a "self-service provider." • The City has adopted and is implementing the CWS Design and Construction Standards. • • Impervious surfaces, undersized bridges and culverts, and inadequate infrastructure contribute to localized flooding. • Voluntary habitat friendly development provisions have been adopted that have the ability to reduce stormwater impacts. • Stormwater and wastewater infrastructure is funded from system development charges, service fees, and private developments. • CWS owns and maintains sewer lines with a diameter of 24 inches or greater, while the City owns and maintains lines less than 24 inches. • The CWS Collection System Master Plan Update (2000) is the current plan for wastewater collection in the Tualatin Basin, which includes Tigard, and found that existing lines within the City of Tigard-have adequate capacity to accommodate anticipated growth. • • • • • The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program extends public infrastructure to unserved neighborhoods • and has identified 17 neighborhoods to participate in the program. • The Neighborhood Sewer Reimbursement District Incentive Program provides options for limiting the • financial burden on property owners who participate in the Extension Program. • City owned wastewater infrastructure must comply with the design and construction standards as part of the development review process. • The Tigard Water Division and the TVWD both supply water to Tigard residents. • The City of Tigard Water Division provides potable water to approximately 55,990 people through approximately 17,300 residential, commercial, and industrial service connections. • The Intergovernmental Water Board provides oversight for the Tigard water system. • The Water Distribution Hydraulic Study (2000) is the current master plan for the City water supply • system. • Tigard does not have a long-term water supply and must purchase nearly 90% of its water from wholesale water providers. • Three feasibility studies are in progress and will help to provide direction for the City's long-term supply • options. • During periods of high water demand, the City can supplement its supply with water from City-owned aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) wells and native groundwater wells. • The City has experienced a decrease in total and per capita consumption from 2001 to 2005 due to repairs made in water line leaks, rising costs, and the Water Division's Conservation Program. • Future annual water demand could range from 2,732 to 3,229 million gallons. • The City of Tigard Water System is set up as an enterprise fund, operating solely on revenue the Water . System creates. KEY FINDINGS—PUBLIC SAFETY • The Tigard Police Department adheres to a community policing philosophy and provides police • protection services, crime prevention programs,and information to the community. • Growth and development will place increasing demands on the Police Department, which currently has • . an average response time that has increased over the last 5 years to 4 minutes, 30 seconds per call. • WCCCA provides 911 services for the Police Department and TVFR through an IGA. • • • • • • • Tigard Police has an IGA to provide services outside the city limits on occasion. • The Police Department reviews land use applications and provides comments. • Areas of high population density and commercial areas, particularly Washington Square Mall, place high demands on the Tigard Police Department. • A new Strategic Plan for the Police Department is in the development process. • TVFR provides fire protection services for the City through an IGA. • Three TVFR stations serve City residents,with one station located within City boundaries. • A new TVFR station is planned to be built at Walnut Street and 124th Avenue. • The dependability of fire protection is based in part on the distribution and capacity of the City water supply. • The City owns all fire hydrants within its boundaries. • The community has an ISO fire insurance rating of 2, one of 15,in Oregon. • • TVFR is given the opportunity to review and provide comment on land use applications. • One of the more important development issues relating to fire protection is the design and placement of new streets. • Street widths must be adequate for fire equipment access and egress, which may conflict with development that is promoting a pedestrian-friendly environment through narrower streets. • A connected street network can help provide better service by having multiple routes to access-an incident and meet response time targets. • TVFR is responsible for regulating the placement of fire hydrants during the land use process. • Appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment installed at the time of development is cost- effective and invaluable in reducing the community's risk to fire. • Providing a defensible space around structures located in areas at risk for wildfire is an additional precaution against fire that can be taken by community residents. KEY FINDINGS—COMMUNITY FACILITIES • Two public school districts serve the City of Tigard's school-age children: Tigard-Tualatin and Beaverton.The school district boundary dates back to 1910,prior to Tigard's incorporation. • In both 1993 and 2006 city surveys, Tigard residents named schools, education or school funding as top issues for the community (ranking 6th and 4th, respectively). • • • • • • TTSD owns 23 properties (189 acres) in Tigard. The Beaverton School District does not own any property within Tigard. • The City and TTSD hold a mutual interest in one another's facility planning. Future population and housing growth have a direct impact upon school capacity, future facility siting and expansion, and state land use goals require coordination on land use decisions. The City notifies the districts of land-use decisions impacting their direct service area. • TTSD estimates slow steady growth: 4.6% rate by 2010, with no additional schools planned for City limits. • Beaverton is experiencing rapid growth and is looking for land for a future school in the southwestern quadrant,which includes schools attended by Tigard residents. • The Tigard Public Library is the only public library within the city limits. It is a new facility, completed in 2004, that was funded from a bond measure passed by the community in 2002. • The new library has experienced increased usage (80% increase in visits from 1996 to 2006) since its, completion, and as growth and development occur in the community, additional pressure will be put on the services offered. • • The library is valued as a community center for public meetings and other events. • •• Although not all City departments are directly involved in land use planning, their provision of services is affected by growth and development. These impacts on government services must be considered during the land use application process, as well as additional facilities that would be needed to house them. • City sustainability programs will be evaluated for inclusion in the Community Investment Program and may have an impact on future building renovations as it relates to the Tigard Community Development Code. • Telecommunications, electricity, and natural gas service are provided to residents and business owners within the City of Tigard by private utilities. These private utilities enter into franchise agreements with the City as outlined in Chapter 15.06 of the Tigard Community Development Code and pay an annual right-of-way usage fee to the City. • As growth and development occurs within the community, the City must ensure that private utility services are available and coordinate their extension during the development process. • Uncoordinated utility installations in the public right-of-way may result in multiple street cuts and • • increased public costs to maintain curbs, gutters, streets, and sidewalks. • The placement of utilities in the public right-of-way is regulated by the Tigard Community Development Code. New development is typically required to place utilities underground unless they are already in • existence above ground, or where the action would not be feasible. • • • • • • • TIGARD 2027 City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan Resource Document A of the Tigard 2007 resource report provided-a summary of community surveys and work completed by Tigard Beyond Tomorrow. The summary outlined a number of key issues and values that the community has identified and it forms a solid foundation for updating the City's Comprehensive Plan. Below is a list of community issues and values developed from Resource Document A (which can be found in its entirety • at www.tigard-or.gov/2027). Please review the list as it will provide important background information when discussing goals,policies, and action measures.

Thanks. Darren Wyss Associate Planner/GIS Long Range Planning Division City of Tigard • 503-718-2442 >>> <Mdohertyor @aol.com> 09/30 1:24 PM >>> • Hi Darren--thought I'd ask these questions rather than waste time on Monday- , 1. pg 3--1.A. Is there a formula used to determine the developers "fair share" of costs? • Answer: Yes. The current process uses Clean Water Services Design and Construction Standards to determine the stormwater infrastructure needed for new development. At that point, the developer will normally pay for and construct the required infrastructure. If they choose not to or cannot construct the required infrastructure, they pay a System Development Charge that is calculated based on the Clean Water Services Rates and Charges (Resolution and Ordinance No. 07-31). 2. pg 4-With all the press the Water Board has been getting lately regarding their fight with the City, do they have any say, power or input on the Comp Plan or the water supply and distribution? Answer: The Tigard Water Board, which represents the interests of unincorporated Washington County residents who are within the Tigard Water Service Area, has had the opportunity to participate on the Policy Interest Teams. The proposed policies within the Comp Plan update address the need for proper planning, funding, and protection of the water supply infrastructure. The disagreement with the City and • the other members of the Intergovernmental Water Board (City of Durham, City of King City, at-large- member) is over ownership of assets and some transactions that were recently made. The IGWB advises the Tigard City Council on issues relating to rate setting and water supply, so yes, the Tigard Water Board does have a voice in water supply issues. 3. pg 5-Is the availability of water a serious consideration when a planned development or development application comes in.? Answer: Yes, Tigard Public Works coordinates with developers to ensure adequate supply and pressure is available and the Engineering Dept coordinates the connection location, pipe size, and any needs to extend infrastructure to property boundaries. 4. pg 6-10. What kinds of activities would fall under this policy? Answer: Personal wells in the vicinity of ASR wells could possibly lead to their contamination. The City has spent a significant amount of financial resources on the ASR program and wants to protect their investment. Secondly, certain types of connections to the water infrastructure (i.e. irrigation systems) need to have a backflow device to ensure no possibility of contamination. 5. References to annexation..does this mean that an area that is governed by the Washington County Planning Commission must be a part of the COT to get water and sewer services? IDarren Wyss - Re: Questions on Public " ilities and Services Report _ Page 2 I Answer: No, the City of Tigard would not be providing stormwater/wastewater servies to a development that is not contiguous to the City. If the development is contiguous and would need to connect to City owned stormwater or wastewater infrastructure, then we would require annexation. This is based on the equity principle that if you are receiving City services, you should be paying your fair share (i.e. City taxes). 6. pg 11--Key Findings--is an insurance rating of 2 good? What scale do they use? Answer: Yes, a rating of 2 is excellent. The Insurance Services Office uses a rating system of 1 (superb protection) to 10 (no protection). There are no ratings of 1 in Oregon and only 50 nationwide, and 15 communities in Oregon have a rating of 2. That's it...for awhile there you probably thought I had a question on every page!

WORKSHOP WITH TREE BOARD Tree Board members present: Janet Gillis, Dennis Sizemore,Tony Tycer, Kandace Horlings Tree Board Chair Janet Gillis gave a PowerPoint presentation (Exhibit A) that highlighted the tasks charged to the Tree Board and the work completed to date. She provided background information on the project and noted that the proposed policy language reflects ongoing work of the Board with input from the Polity Interest Team and the community. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 1,2007—Page 1 • • • She said the Tree Board is asking for direction and input from the Planning Commission on the proposed language for tree protection. After the Tree Board receives public comments and the results of the Metro canopy study, the Board will meet with the Planning Commission again. Associate Planner John Floyd advised that there is a perception that the canopy cover in Tigard is declining and that there is loss of trees. The proposed document looks at flexible standards and incentive-based standards. There are 3 broad differences between the proposed language and the current system: 1. The current system is based on numbers (how many you save, how many you take, caliper inches). There's no qualitative aspect to what we're saving. The new policies aim for a much more targeted preservation. It looks at things like native trees, preservation of existing trees over mitigation, and it prioritizes trees based on performance (e.g., canopy trees, stable trees,long-lived trees, and saving the cohesive nature of groves). 2. The current Planned Development standards don't work for some of the smaller infill projects. There needs to be a better way to offer incentives so people will use it. Also, the Policy Interest Team wants to have mandatory flexible standards —make people go through an alternatives analysis. 3. The current standards for such things as planter strips and sidewalks aren't very tree friendly. Following are questions and comments made during discussion of the draft policy language (responses are written in italics): • There isn't a goal specifically relating to diverse species. If we had significant disease or infestation, how would it be addressed? The number 1 goal is to enlarge, improve, and sustain a diverse urban forest to maximize the economic, ecological, and social benefits of trees and other vegetation. It is implied that this concern could be addressed with the language in policies#8 and#15 and action measure #x. Perhaps we could add additional language for this specific issue. Todd Prager, the City Arborist, will be overseeing selection of diverse trees that are available for public distribution. • Is keeping existing trees the primary consideration of the goals? The ideal thing is that you maintain whatyou have ifyou can, but if trees need to be taken out, there needs to be a plan for mitigation. • What about new trees for the future? The word "diverse"in Goal#1 relates to species diversity as well as age diversity. It's important to talk about mixed-age stands. • The policy language talks a lot about preservation, but there isn't a sense of looking forward 100 years. What are we going to plant now that's going to be a heritage tree? To enlarge, improve, and sustain an urban forest into future is one of the objectives that the City should have. Soil vaults should also be required for planting trees that will become heritage trees in the PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 1,2007—Page 2 yl • future. We need to design and engineer the plant's environment in order to make it work. If a developer wants to go through the expense to do that, there should be some kind of incentive. • Is there a way to provide links on the City's website for free educational resources? There are links already on the City's website. Also, action measure #viii talks about educational materials and programs. Perhaps it could be expanded to say, `Develop and maintain a website that would have links to resources to assist the community in planting maintaining and enhancing urban forests" • Perhaps we could have special tags on Tigard-approved trees at local garden centers. Maybe we could expand action measures #viii and#x to talk about that. We could also have approved tree lists posted on the walls at garden centers. • With regard to policy #3, what happens after construction? How do we minimize impacts after everybody is gone? This is where education comes in for the homeowner. It's not all the developer's responsibility. • In policy #6,is the idea that we are going to retrofit old neighborhoods, or are we talking about development moving forward? Primarily, we are talking about new • development and when redevelopment occurs. This is really associated with Clean Water Services standards and green development practices. Are we going to require green development; are we talking about water quality? That's one end of the spectrum. The other end could be just planting parking lot trees. • How do we implement the language in policy #9 for private lots? The challenge is when there are changes in ownership. There are things we could do,perhaps bonding on conditions of approval or through code enforcement. When ownership changes hands, new owners buy the - conditions of approval as well as the property. They have to continue to comply with the conditions r " of approval. We can do a lot by just enforcing the policies we already have. • In policy #17, what is meant by "support"? Does it mean we're financially obligating ourselves to support community groups? How about the word "embrace"? We should make the intent of the word clear. Perhaps we could say, "Support through actions and deeds." • In policy #19— "...discourage the sale and propagation...,"what are we obligating ourselves to and is it legal? As an example, certain nurseries in Portland won't sell English Ivy. Perhaps we could use the words "through actions and deeds"again. A letter to retailers from the City Arborist with a list of things the City would like to see and things we don't like could be one kind of discouragement. When landscape plans are put together for new subdivisions could be a time for input. • It seems that policy #19 could be stepping out of what the City could be legally allowed to do. There are 2 components that could occur here. One is to encourage retailers not PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 1,2007—Page 3 • to sell things, which might not be very realistic. The other is what other cities and counties have done—make it illegal to plant and propagate certain species. It is actually spelled out in their municipal codes. • Maybe there is a way to flip the wording in #19 from the negative (from discourage to encourage). This is where the website could be helpful on a continuing basis. • Should policy #21 begin with the words "The City shall..."? Also, should we add the words "and screening" after "buffering" and should we use the term "incompatible uses" or "differing land uses"? • For action measure #ii, what can we require of a developer as far as after development? All they can really do is educate. We can go back to the transfer of conditions of approval. When the applicant goes for development approval,would they have to have an inspection and enforcement program in place before they can get approval? Perhaps we can get rid of the words `as part of'and put "by"development approval. We gauge our enforcement program on the requirements of development approval. President Inman agreed with this. The words "as part of' mean that you have to have it before approval; the word "by" translates it to after approval. • In action measure #iii— "inspection and enforcement program for non- development related tree management" — does this mean private lots? If a homeowner wanted to take down a tree in their yard, would they have to comply with the City's landscape standards and tree protection ordinance? There are 3 parts to this: street trees, sensitive areas, and individual lots. Heritage trees have been protected through deed restrictions. The Tree Board looked at tree removal ordinances in Lake Oswego, where removal over a certain number of caliper inches would require a permit;certain species would also require a permit. Invasive species wouldn't require a permit. The Tree Board has not gotten to specifics of this action measure yet. • There are certain fundamentals of action measure #iii that are going to polarize the community. We need to be very clear what the action measure is intending to do. Perhaps a future action measure could be "Work with the community to ascertain the future level of tree regulations." • What is the end purpose for action measure #v? One would be to go back and learn from our mistakes— what works, what doesn't. Another would be to work in partnership with other groups such as Friends of Trees to learn where our problem areas are. There is no kind of enforcement with this;it's an informational, educational, supporting community program. • In action measure #vi,why do we want to maintain an inventory of removals? This would be a part of tree inventories. The inventory is a critical aspect of this whole process. It gives us a starting point of what we actually have. Updates to the inventory will show fluctuations over time and will show if the policies are effectively doing what we're trying to accomplish. It will give us PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 1,2007—Page 4 • more tools in the future. • Is action measure #ix the same as #iv? It's a strong statement to require consideration of new incentives and penalties. This is where the word incentive is the strongest in the action measures. The word penalo emerged out of the Policy Interest Team meetings. The Tree Board talked more about incentives because penalties exist currently. This might be redundant. Public Comments The Planning Commission received comments on the proposed language from members of the public. John Frewing— Exhibit B. Susan Beilke— Exhibit C Alan DeHarpport—Exhibits D and E 6. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN—PUBLIC FACILITIES WORKSHOP Associate Planner Darren Wyss presented the draft goals,policies, and action measures for the Public Facilities and Services chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. He noted that this is the same process of working with a Policy Interest Team (PIT) and City department review team to come up with the proposed language. Some of the key principles the PIT came up with are ensuring that development pays their fair share of infrastructure costs; continued collaboration and cooperation with partner agencies and districts; striving for efficient planning and expansion of the infrastructure;protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the community; and ensuring that appropriate public facilities and services contribute to a :. complete community. During review of the proposed language, the following questions/comments were made (responses are written in italics): • Do studies look at Tigard having a role in ownership of purification plants in regional rivers? Currently, there are 3 feasibility studies in process looking at a long-term water supply—one is with Lake Oswego, one is with the joint Water Commission, one is the Wilsonville Willamette River plan. Tigard is looking at their options for finding a long-term water supply for the community. Some of the options could be joint ownership orproviding financial backing for expansion of facilities. • Commissioner Doherty advised that she sent questions to Wyss earlier in the day. The questions and answers are included in Exhibit F. • For action measure #i—does this mean that we will require green,low-impact, sustainable impact standards? Yes, that was from the habitat friendly development standards that the Commission saw last fall that dealt with Goal S. The standards are currently voluntary and PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 1,2007—Page 5 • the PIT wanted to go a step further in making some of those mandatory. The City currently follows CWS standards; this could be supplemental if we required additional standards on top of that. If we required a developer to use pervious asphalt, they may not get any credit from CWS for doing so. It could be expensive for the developer. A lot of jurisdictions will give the developer a deduction to keep the costs the same or somewhat comparable. Staff will re-visit the issue and come up with some alternatives. It was suggested that we strike the word mandatory or use a combination of action measures#i and#ii. • In Goal 11.2,would we benefit by staking a claim to a certain portion of the regional water by being an owner of a purification facility? The City does have groundwater rights, but because we're in a groundwater limited area, we can only withdraw out of 1 of our 3 groundwater wells right now. We purchase our water from Portland. Steel's not aware of any other water rights. In 15-20 years, we do want to be in the position where we have some kind of ownership of our water supply. • Would it be a benefit to be an early stakeholder for water in the regional rivers? Yes, we want to have an interest in the water supply to meet the community's needs. That's what policy #1 intends. The policies don't seem to have a sense of immediacy. It does not say that we'll meet the goal by a certain date. Without that specificity, there isn't pressure to meet the target. This was a priority 15 years ago. The joint Water Commission has not completed their water study for Washington Countyyet. It probably won't be complete for a couple of years. It would be difficult to assign ayear to the policy. • We could tell Council that we think this is a high priority,but to put a timeline with any policy planning is not a good way to go. We could change the language to say, `The City's priority shall be to secure interest in high-quality, longterm water supply..." • President Inman suggested changing the language to read, "The City shall prioritize securing an interest in high-quality, long term water supply..." • The issue of fluoridation was brought up. Could we bring the issue to the voters? Staff will put an action measure together and email it to the Commission. • Under stormwater management, should there be an action measure to create an incentive for people that disconnect from the City's storm water? It's in the incentives, but just not specific. • Have we adequately addressed cell phone towers under franchise utilities? And, to take it a step further, do we have something for emerging technologies? This chapter of the Comp Plan deals with the land use side of public facilities and services. The Comp Plan deals with 2 different things— land use regulations and the aipirational side. The PIT didn't discuss the aspirational side. If the Commission would like, we could add something such as, It is the policy of the City to provide wireless communication." PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 1,2007—Page 6 • • • Isn't this consumer-driven? Yes, and it's also a promotional economic development issue. • Do we want to deal with more PR and aspirational things, or do we want to stick with land use issues? We don't want to litter the landscape with towers; collocation is key. Have other communities given some thought to emerging technologies? The City of Tigard currently has a pretty strong collocation code for wireless communication. We're pretty strict about enforcing installation of new wireless facilities. Maybe we should have a wait and monitor policy for now. • Should we have a policy for wireless communications that says the City shall manage the siting of wireless communication facilities to limit the visual impacts or other kinds of impacts they have on the community? • Do we have an obligation to the general public to provide wi-fi? Perhaps it would be appropriate to think about including it in the Downtown master planning. • There is a perception that any regulatory process in the State has to address the need for the underserved. We need to be aware of the PUC's regulations. • Does the Commission want to address any of the issues associated with new or emerging communication or energy technology to promote access to Tigard residents and businesses? We should monitor that there's adequate equitable access. Our language should be flexible enough to handle emerging technologies that come along as it affects the franchising our rights-of-way, and access. Use the words emerging technology rather than specific c terms. Staff suggested, `The City shall monitor emerging technologies to effectively manage franchise agreements into the future." 7.

Alternatively, add a goal"to balance ecological needs of Tigard natural plantings ....".plus other goals for socioeconomic benefits,etc. 2 Vegetation appears in the title of these materials but is largely omitted in detailed wording of policies and action measures. It should be included with trees throughout. EG,in Policy 3,move mention of vegetation to the first line. 3 Policy 4. This policy should encompass more than sensitive lands. To not implement this policy on all lands is inconsistent with the stated goal. 4 Policy 5. Include the concept that evaluation of tree health shall be done by independent certified arborists,to avoid the possibility that a decision on tree health might be influenced by the person hiring the arborist. Require applicants for tree removal to fund the independent arborist. 5 Policy 19. Include in the policy the development of a list of known invasive plants, perhaps using the Oregon Dept of Ag list. 6 Action Measures: I, iii and iv should include vegetation in their scope of work as well as trees. • • COMP PLAN--TREE COMMENTS JOHN FREWING SEPT 5,2007 Based on draft material distributed for Tree Board meeting this date. 1 In initial paragraph of Background,should mention how trees also serve to meet Goals for Natural Resources, Environmental Quality and Economic Health. Mention Goals. 2 In Overview,Para 2,state the scope as `city limits of Tigard'. Make same change throughout. 3 In Overview,Para 2,note that these invasive species detract from meeting tree goals. 4 In Overview,Para 4, it is stated that`most' remaining trees are on sensitive lands. Note the rare nature of some few remaining stands of large native trees on uplands,and note that they deserve special protection. 5 In Overview,Para 4,note that control of invasives is a matter of ongoing concern,not only concern at the time of site development. Note that Tigard has not maintained invasives under control on either its own public properties or regulated invasives on private property. 6 In Overview,Para 6,note that scientific literature supports stream/wetland buffers of as much as 200 feet from actual stream/wetland areas;CWS,whose rules Tigard currently follows only require a minimum of a 50 foot buffer. 7 In Air and Water Quality,note that many trees and other vegetation in Tigard are in decline because of air quality conditions,particularly near heavy traffic routes. 8 In Socioeconomic Effects,document the reported fact that trees add 3-7%to property values. I believe it can be much higher than this. 9 In Proper Management,add discussion of the importance of managing invasives. 10 In Existing Regulatory Environment, add discussion and statistics on the number of enforcement actions and amount of fines collected regarding trees and vegetation each year for the past five years. State the expenditures and ending balance of the tree mitigation fund for each of the past five years. Identify specific tree removal mitigation sites in the city. 11 In Existing Regulatory Environment,note that the city regulates trees on private property ONLY at the time of site development;little or no action on maintenance of trees at a later date has been taken. 12 Goal 1. Retain language previously reviewed by Tree Board. 13 Proposed Goal 2. Do not adopt. 14 Policy 3. Retain language previously reviewed by Tree Board. Strengthen it by adding definitional words to explain `minimize'. 15 Policy 6. Retain language previously reviewed by Tree Board. 16 Policy 9. Add the words"including location of sidewalks,driveways,building footprints and other areas where trees would be removed" 17 Policy 19. Add after reference to the development process the words"and by regulation for times after site development"to ensure that ongoing attention is paid to trees and vegetation on private property. 18 Policy 20. Add the words`incrementally more protective'in front of the words`tree preservation strategies'to indicate that these stands are special and require more protection than individual trees. • • Page 1 of 2 John Frewing From: "John Frewing" <jfrewing @teleport.com> To: "John Floyd"<Johnfl @ tigard-or.gov> Sent: Thursday, September 06,2007 7:15 AM Subject: Tree Board Meeting Last Night John, I just want to commend you on your presentation and discussion last night at the Tree Board. You properly tried to keep the discussion on point—this is the Tree Board, and issues such as housing density, transportation, population,zoning, etc are properly discussed in their own sections of the Comp Plan. No harm in mentioning or referencing them, but this section is about trees. I think the word 'efficient'was removed from your Goal 2 which was proposed last night, but wanted to document my concern about that word. If'efficient' means'cost effective', then it will always be most cost effective to remove all trees from a development site and I don't think this is the preference of Tigard citizens or the Tree Board. If'efficient'means'least difficulty', the same situation will exist. This word raises the question of'efficient' for whom—efficient for the developer is one thing (probably meaning removal of all trees), and efficient for long term community health is something else. I think the word 'efficient' should be stricken from your Goal 2 which was proposed last night. Using the term 'balance with development needs of the city'at least allows the city to say what its development needs are, rather than rely on whatever the developers say their needs are. In this regard, I would ask you to look again at what the people of Tigard expressed as their highest priority in terms of ; livability—protection and enhancement of trees and natural resources. I am somewhat concerned that while the comments of Venture Properties, received by you on Sept 4, were distributed to the Tree Board, the comments of Sue Beilke, which were emailed to you on I think Sept 1, were not Could you make sure that Sue's comments get to the Tree Board? Of course I am disappointed that the six developer representatives barged right in to the discussion and the meeting was spent almost totally on their concerns and none on my comments submitted last night, I understand the need to hear all view points—just <. wish they would appear at sometime other than the last point in preparation of the comp plan language. I hope that on Sept 19, there will be a way to balance the discussion so that equal time is given to all points of view. I am somewhat concerned about the heavy reliance on the canopy maps which seem to be part of the emerging comp plan material on trees. It has been said that these maps will show individual trees. I wonder to what extent they can delineate other vegetation, such as a hazelnut tree with its many sprouts. Strictly, a'tree' is defined as a single stem plant with more than 6" DBH trunk, and I think that consideration of the amount and type of other vegetation is an important part of the health of Tigard's urban forest Do the canopy maps distinguish certain invasive plants like Himalyan blackberries and invasive tall grasses? It would be wrong to simply say that since vegetation shows on the photos, that it is'trees'. The idea from developers of exempting the areas of dedicated public streets/sidewalks and housing footprints is a bad one. It takes away any incentive to minimize the loss of trees by adjusting the location of these developments. Your staff position is correct. In the proposed Goal 1, some discussion last night was centered on eliminating the word 'existing'. I read this sentence to refer to the 2007 canopy, not some continuing status of tree canopy. In fact, deleting it makes the sentence seem to refer to whatever tree canopy exists at the time of reading. In reality, people know that this document was written in 2007, so maybe substituting the term '2007'would be most clear. In this same Goal 1, there was some concern by developers about using the word'enlarge'. I think this word is fine—it expresses the values of the people of Tigard as stated in 2006. At the end of the meeting, there was some informal discussion about the need for a "mixed age" urban forest. This makes sense to me. It doesn't make sense to keep each and every old/big tree at the expense of planting new trees which in some years will be old/big. But to make this happen over large spaces in Tigard, it seems to make more important to develop some kind of regulation for removal and replanting of trees at any time (particularly in years after site development)on private land—this doesn't exist today. Today, regulation is centered on trees on private land AT THE TIME OF SITE DEVELOPMENT ONLY. Thus, there needs to be some • 10/1/07 • • Page 2 of 2 rules on private land which encourage the planting and retention of growing trees all the time. It is not clear that as currently drafted, the comp plan policies ensure that such code provisions will be developed. Could the Tree Board discuss this at its next meeting? Finally, you indicated that you apparently have completed the comparison of tree provisions in a variety of cities codes. How can I get a copy of this comparison?? Would you please be so kind as to forward this note to members of the Tree Board?? I don't have all their emails. Thanks again for your sustained work on this project. John Frewing 10/1/07 October 1,2007 • Tigard Planning Commission City of Tigard RE: Comments on Tigard Tree Board&work to date on Comprehensive Plan, Draft Goals and Policies and Management and Preservation of Trees and other vegetation concepts, etc. Below are our comments on current efforts by the Tree Board and Tigard staff to update the goals, etc. of the Comprehensive Plan regarding trees, local forests, etc. The Biodiversity Project of Tigard is a local, all volunteer-citizen run group dedicated to the protection and conservation of the natural resources in Tigard, in particular rare and State and Federal listed fish,wildlife,and vegetation, including locally unique or declining species. We have been conducting surveys in Tigard for the past fifteen years and have identified and worked toward the protection and conservation of such species/vegetation communities including the rare and declining Western Pond Turtle, and the oak/camas prairie habitat. Over the past fifteen years, Tigard has seen rapid and uncontrolled growth throughout the area, resulting in an immense lost of the biological diversity that existed originally. In particular, we have lost to date almost ALL of our upland forests, such as those that existed on Bull Mountain and in other parts of Tigard, to development that has in many cases not even left one tree of the forest that previously existed on a site. This deforestation in Tigard has resulted in a huge loss of native vegetation, native songbirds, loss of amphibians such as the State listed Northern red-legged frog, and other species. The red-legged frog depends on uplands forests to survive, since it spends most of its time away from water for its life requirements. Some forested sites, such as the 3+ acre Dorothy Gage property off Durham road that was clearcut this past March of 2007, contained one of the most diverse small forests left in our city, with Oregon ash, oak, maple, willow,Douglas fir, and hawthorne on the site. It was home to a diverse wildlife population including a resident pair of Cooper's hawk which nested on the site every year. All is now gone, the developer left 2 trees, and called the development the Gage Forest, as a way of insulting our city and the citizens who care about our community and our natural resources. So, where do we go from here? What is to be done regarding the current lack of protection for our forests, our fish, our wildlife? How can we save what is left so that we do not lose any more of our natural resources and so that we can leave something for future generations to enjoy and cherish? How do we better protect water and air quality through forest protections? • • Our general recommendations are as follows: • Goals, policies, etc. that address Trees and Forests, etc. SHOULD also be developed under the Natural Resources Section of the Comprehensive Plan, Goal 5, in order to adequately address the values and functions they provide to wildlife, water quality, etc, and to make sure they are protected and conserved for the future. Trees and forests are a crucial part of our biological diversity and if only addressed under the Goal 2, Community Design section of the Comp. Plan, will not be adequately addressed as far as protection, conservation, etc. • Before we can go any further in the Comprehensive Plan process, we MUST conduct an inventory of all of our trees, forests, etc. in Tigard, in order to adequately and effectively meet the Comprehensive Plan goals, needs, etc. Without an up to date inventory we do not have the information necessary to develop goals, policies and action measures; a current inventory will give us information on species of trees in our city,numbers and size remaining, acreage of all forests left, plant communities left and their condition, invasive species present, etc. • Once an inventory is completed, all data should be mapped so that we can visually see what is remaining, location, etc. • The new updated Comprehensive Plan MUST provide standards and programs that protect trees and forests in Tigard to the highest degree possible, and which must also have a sound legislative basis. Draft Goals, Policies, etc. and recommendations: Goals: Include new goals including: • 1) To increase the biological diversity of Tigard's native trees and forests in order to help protect and conserve fish and wildlife species and their habitats. • 2) To prevent any further loss of native trees and forests through the purchase of remaining undeveloped lands. • We object to any deletion of the words "Protect/ Preserve" in statements regarding trees and tree protection. The words"steward and stewardship"have now been inserted and these do not convey the same meaning and are more ambiguous. Citizens want the strongest protections possible for our trees and forests. For example,there was an original goal that stated: "Protect and enhance the environmental & aesthetic contribution of trees and other vegetation." It was changed to "To enlarge, improve and sustain...."; we object to the word"sustain". Again, we do not believe this word offers adequate "protection" for the resource(s)and we would like to see it changed back to "protect" in order to make sure the language is strong in nature and ensures statewide planning goals for natural resources are met and that Tigard's trees are conserved into the future. • • Certain members of the development community have recently made attempts to weaken the Tree Board's efforts to protect trees by insisting on including language in some goals that would actually make things worse here in Tigard. Words such as "balance" have been suggested to be included. We strongly object to any weakening of current efforts to protect trees, etc. and must point out here that there is no"balance"here currently and there never has been. Tigard has already lost most of its forests, so the "balance" is already toward pro-growth as everyone knows, and any efforts to make the current state of affairs even worse will be met with strong objections and legal actions if necessary. Policies: We strongly recommend the following policies be added to those developed by the Tree Board. • The city shall increase the number of native trees and forest acreage through purchase of remaining undeveloped lands throughout the city. • The city shall only allow development when a developer can show that the loss of • trees,forests,etc.will not have a negative impact on the wildlife that occupy areas to be developed. "Negative impact"is defined as "no loss of nesting habitat,food, - cover,etc." • The City shall manage trees and forests,etc. so that they provide the greatest biological diversity possible. • The City shall manage trees and forests in order to adequately meet the needs of and protect and conserve the fish and wildlife that occupy those forests, including the State listed Northern red-legged frog, Western pond turtle,etc. • The City shall develop "special status" protections for rare habitats, including Oak/Camas prairies, in order to protect and enhance remaining rare habitats and the species that are found on these sites. We wish to thank everyone on the Tree Board and the Planning Commission for all their efforts on behalf of Tigard's trees, forests, etc. in developing goals, policies, etc. for the future that will protect and enhance Tigard's natural resources. Sincerely, Susan Beilke,Director The Biodiversity Project of Tigard • • October 1, 2007 To: Tigard Planning Commission Fr: Alan DeHarpport Re: Tree Ordinance Revisions Along with HBA's Ernie Platt, Al Jeck from Alpha Community Development and Ken Gertz from Gertz Fine Homes, I attended a planning commission workgroup on November 6, 2006 at 7:00pm. At that time, we addressed the Comission about our concerns with the current ordinance and looked forward to participating in the revision process to create a more fair and balanced tree code for those sites with trees and zoned for development. We also spoke with two members of the tree board about becoming more involved with the revisions to the tree code, which was welcomed. At the meeting the Commission voted to delay the vote on adopting the revisions presented by the tree board, and the task was ultimately sent to you in long range planning. I have spoken to many developers, builders, engineers,planners, arborists,real estate brokers, and landscapers who all share the same concerns about the current tree ordinance. These businesses have made significant investments in City infrastructure in the form of streets, sidewalks,utilities, and landscaping. They have also made expensive tree mitigation payments to the City as part of their development requirements. Prior to leaving the City, Arborist Matt Stine advised that there were no public lands left within the City limits to plant trees for mitigation. Consequently, fee in lieu of mitigation payments cannot currently be used to plant trees since there are no public lands available for planting. In essence,the ordinance now imposes a de facto penalty to develop property with trees specifically zoned for.development. This results in a fee that cannot currently be used, which is most impractical. It should also be noted that the underlying property owner indirectly pays for the mitigation fees since developers generally hire arborists to determine the number of caliper inches on a site with development potential prior to purchasing the property in an effort to determine the cost of tree mitigation. Once the amount is determined, the purchase price to the owner is reduced by the amount of the mitigation fees required to be paid to the City. On those properties where few trees exist the fees are nominal. However, on properties where many trees exist that must be cut in order to meet zoning requirements,the fees(and therefore the decrease in property values)can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. There is no question that trees are an asset to the community as a whole and should be preserved when it is feasible. However, with current City development requirements it is often difficult to save more than about 15%to 20%of trees on site at best. It is sometimes impossible to save any trees if they are all located within required right of way dedications and building pads. The current ordinance imposes mitigation requirements if more than just 25%if the caliper inches are removed even though 80%of the property must be cleared and graded to create roads and building pads. Based on these concerns, we hope to come up with a fair and balanced revision to the current ordinance that does not result in exorbitant mitigation fees applied to property owners with land zoned for development. At the same time, we also recognize that preserving and planting as many trees as possible in locations where they can be saved and planted creates a more livable community and should be promoted. Our recommendation is simple: exempt tree mitigation from required street right of ways and building pads for new structures. We look forward to discussing these concerns in further detail and getting additional input from all of the stakeholders including,the tree board,the environmental community, Tigard's citizens, arborists, landscapers, owners of properties zoned for future development, and the City planning and engineering staff. In a coordinated effort,I am sure we can improve the current ordinance and at the same time save trees when possible.

I apologize for not being able to attend the meetings. The developer/builder community has a great deal of interest in the proposed language for the draft goals,policies, and action measures. I have addressed each item of interest below using the same format provided(proposed changes in bold underline, proposed deletions steles,my notes are in italics). I believe that the goals should acknowledge that Tigard's growth rate will continue to put pressure on available lands for development and as those lands develop existing trees will be removed and new trees planted. Growth will continue to have impacts on existing trees. The population of Tigard has almost doubled from approximately 25,000 in 1990 to about 47,000 today. That's an average annual growth rate of around 2.5%. The draft goals seem to imply that Tigard's mission is to save every existing tree and discourage development, which is surely not the view of many interested parties both within City Hall as well as within Tigard's business community. While some environmentally driven citizens undoubtedly feel that all development is"bad", I believe there is a larger group of citizens who feel that a balance between growth and tree preservation should be struck. Saving every existing tree is an enviable goal for any community, but to eliminate the word "growth" from Policy 2 seems very detached from reality. Let's face it, we live in one of the fastest growing communities in the country. I would like the tree board and the PIT to weigh in and provide feedback on the following goal and policy language, which I drafted. DRAFT GOALS 1. To balance the ongoing population growth and development of the City with the environmental community's desire Tto enlarge and improve the urban tree canopy and other vegetative cover to obtain a balance between economic vitality and the economic, ecological, and social benefit of trees and other vegetation. 2. To avoid prevent a net loss of trees while accommodating the City's ongoing population growth and the achievement of other goals of the City. John Floyd August 13,2007 PROP.l of 1 • • • DRAFT POLICIES 1. No changes to the July 31 revision. I do have a question, though. Is the inventory going to be done by the City arborist or private party? If the latter, is this in the budget? 2. No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 3. The City shall require all development to minimize impacts on egg trees and associated vegetation to be retained as part of the City development approval process before, during and after construction. Removal of trees shall be mitigated, with priority given to the preservation of existing trees over mitigation. 4.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 5. The City shall address public safety concerns by ensuring ways to prevent and resolve vecifted tree related hazards verified by a certified arborist in a timely manner. 6. For properties that have future development potential, regulations exist in the City Development Code that require dedication of public rights-of-way for public amenities including streets, sidewalks,planter strips,and bike lanes. In addition,regulations exist within the City development code that require clearing to accommodate structures on building sites on properties zoned for future development. Therefore,Tthe City shall not require tree mitigation of for •-- -•- - ••- -: -• ••- •-- -• •. -. =- •. . •..- .. .. right of way dedications and for the clearing of building footprints as required by the City Development Code. • Note: Understanding this is going to be controversial, I propose to offer both options to . planning commission and voice both sides of the issue at the public hearings in front of planning commission and city council. 7.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 8.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 9.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. We have to do this already. 10.Note: I'm not sure you really want to say this here. Typically, the City has developers and builders install the street trees. Please clarify if the intent is to have the City require developers and builders to plant trees, or if the intent is truly to have the City do the planting. 11.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 12. The City shall protect and preserve trees and other vegetation when it designs and constructs public works projects. Mitigation and restoration of removed vegetation shall • occur as required by the City Development Code. 13.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 14.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 15.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 16.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 17.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 18.No changes to 7/31/07 proposed changes. 19.Note: This one confuses me. In the italic text at the bottom, it says "the City should actively promote, rather than just encourage, the use and retention of these plants. " The policy suggests removal of these invasive species. Is this a typo? Also, do we have a list of what's considered "invasive"?. 20. Enhance the cohesive quality of tree groves as required by the City Development Code. Note:I have a couple of thoughts here. Beaverton actually inventoried and assigned numbers to each Significant Grove of trees located within the City limits. Property owners • where SG's were proposed were notified that their properties were being considered for SG status, and public hearings were held. Personally, I think this is a much better way of John Floyd August 13,2007 PROP.9 r,f 9 handling this issue since there is not definition of a "tree grove". Is that 3 trees? 30 trees? 100 trees? I think this section definitely needs work If it's linked to the Development Code and the Development Code identifies SG's, then there is a clear and objective path to follow for anyone interested in purchasing properties where SG's are located. 21. Note: "Require"seems a bit strong here to me. Broad spreading trees typically require larger areas of exposed soil beneath them, which is not typically conducive to parking areas. If the goal is to buffer properties that do not share the same zoning,perhaps something like this: "Promote the use of broad spreading trees and vegetation that will create or preserve vegetative buffers between adjacent properties that do not share the same zoning." RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES 1. No changes to 7/27/07 recommended changes. 2. No changes to 7/27/07 recommended changes. 3. No changes to 7/27/07 recommended changes. 4. The City shall dDevelop,and-implement, and reau-irc promote consideration of ecced-regulations,standards,penalties and incentives that will may to-allow developers to transfer density, seek variances or adjustments, or utilize the Type 3 Pplanned Ddevelopment procedure to allow for habitat-friendly design standards, preserve trees and/or maintain natural open space." Note: I believe there are potential legal issues for this one as originally drafted. The Type 3 process was always intended to be an alternative process that the applicant ;. could choose to implement. It was never intended to be a requirement that all • . applicants be forced to submit a Type 3 alternative plan. My understanding is that iif an application meets the approval criteria set forth in the zoning code, state law requires that the jurisdiction approve it. Perhaps a clarification from the City . attorney is needed. ... • _ S. No changes to 7/27/07 recommended changes. 6. No changes to 7/27/07 recommended changes. 7. No changes to 7/27/07 recommended changes. i _ 8. No changes to 7/27/07 recommended changes. 9. No changes to 7/27/07 recommended changes. 10. No changes to 7/27/07 recommended changes. • 11. No changes to 7/27/07 recommended changes. Again, I want to thank you for continuing to keep me posted during this process. The developer/builder community's highest priority is to exempt mitigation from public rights of way and building pads for property zoned for future development. As I have mentioned before, requiring mitigation for improvements required by the City's own Development Code is a punitive policy that decreases property values on developable • parcels with trees. I look forward to working with you and the Policy Interest Team in • creating a balanced approach to tree preservation in Tigard. Yours truly, Alan DeHarpport John Floyd August 13,2007 • Pave a Jerree Lewis- Re: Questions on Publi cilities and Services Report Page 1 From: Darren Wyss V �y To: Lewis, Jerree Date: 10/1/2007 12:15:44 PM Subject: Re: Questions on Public Facilities and Services Report Jerree, Can you please forward this to all of the Planning Commissioners. Thanks. Darren Wyss Associate Planner/GIS Long Range Planning Division City of Tigard 503-718-2442 >>> <Mdohertyor @aol.com> 09/30 1:24 PM >>> Hi Darren--thought I'd ask these questions rather than waste time on Monday- 1. pg 3--1.A. Is there a formula used to determine the developers "fair share"of costs? Answer: Yes. The current process uses Clean Water Services Design and Construction Standards to determine the stormwater infrastructure needed for new development. At that point, the developer will normally pay for and construct the required infrastructure. If they choose not to or cannot construct the required infrastructure, they pay a System Development Charge that is calculated based on the Clean Water Services Rates and Charges (Resolution and Ordinance No. 07-31). 2. pg 4-With all the press the Water Board has been getting lately regarding their fight with the City, do they have any say, power or input on the Comp Plan or the water supply and distribution? Answer: The Tigard Water Board, which represents the interests of unincorporated Washington County residents who are within the Tigard Water Service Area, has had the opportunity to participate on the Policy Interest Teams. The proposed policies within the Comp Plan update address the need for proper planning, funding, and protection of the water supply infrastructure. The disagreement with the City and the other members of the Intergovernmental Water Board (City of Durham, City of King City, at-large- member) is over ownership of assets and some transactions that were recently made. The IGWB advises the Tigard City Council on issues relating to rate setting and water supply, so yes, the Tigard Water Board does have a voice in water supply issues. 3. pg 5-Is the availability of water a serious consideration when a planned development or development application comes in ? Answer: Yes, Tigard Public Works coordinates with developers to ensure adequate supply and pressure is available and the Engineering Dept coordinates the connection location, pipe size, and any needs to extend infrastructure to property boundaries. 4. pg 6-10. What kinds of activities would fall under this policy? Answer: Personal wells in the vicinity of ASR wells could possibly lead to their contamination. The City has spent a significant amount of financial resources on the ASR program and wants to protect their investment. Secondly, certain types of connections to the water infrastructure(i.e. irrigation systems) need to have a backflow device to ensure no possibility of contamination. 5. References to annexation..does this mean that an area that is governed by the Washington County Planning Commission must be a part of the COT to get water and sewer services? Jerree Lewis - Re: Questions on Publi ilities and Services Report Page 2 Answer: No, the City of Tigard would not be providing stormwater/wastewater servies to a development that is not contiguous to the City. If the development is contiguous and would need to connect to City owned stormwater or wastewater infrastructure, then we would require annexation. This is based on the equity principle that if you are receiving City services, you should be paying your fair share (i.e. City taxes). 6. pg 11--Key Findings--is an insurance rating of 2 good? What scale do they use? Answer: Yes, a rating of 2 is excellent. The Insurance Services Office uses a rating system of 1 (superb protection)to 10 (no protection). There are no ratings of 1 in Oregon and only 50 nationwide, and 15 communities in Oregon have a rating of 2. That's it...for awhile there you probably thought I had a question on every page! See you Monday- Margaret ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com CC: Bunch, Ron TO: John Floyd FM: John Frewing October 4, 2007 Subject: Tigard Comp Plan, Natural Resources Thanks for staffing last night's initial meeting of a Natural Resources PIT. Driving home, it occurred to me that we did not discuss at least three important sources of natural resource information for the local Tigard area. I believe Tigard should at least consult and incorporate relevant natural resource information in its comp plan update from 1) The Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge, which lies just a couple miles west of Tigard on the Tualatin River, and which has a permanent staff on site to monitor different natural resources, especially those important to wildlife, 2) The USGS offices locally, who maintain a large database on Tualatin River and Fanno Creek and tributaries, allowing Tigard to look at trends over the past 25 years since our comp plan was last updated and 3) Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District, which has natural resource specialists, familiar with conditions and trends in the Fanno Creek drainage. I would start with Kyle Spinks, a natural resource specialist at THP&RD, phone 503-629-6305 x2952. For all three of these natural resource agencies, I think Tigard should send along the presently drafted Resource Report and ask them for their review, added resource information they can provide and comment on trends and natural resource conditions in Tigard. I presume that Tigard has already sent the Resource Report to ODFW offices and CWS offices and asked for their review, added resource information and comment on trends and natural resource conditions in Tigard, but if this hasn't been done, it too should be accomplished soon. Because you were busy leading the discussion, I am sending along my notes on issues which need followup: - Is this comp plan revision being done under safe harbor rules or standard rules?? - We need to see the new comp plan outline, which you indicate has changed. - We need a list of all 15 of the state identified natural resource elements and where they are addressed in the new Tigard comp plan - `We-discussed the_needTor_aTigarduolicy on management of_its water_quality- facilities,—which could_be_a_sgnifi_cant_benefit-to wildlife--� - Either in Nat Resources or Stormwater, we need a policy of Tigard on monitoring of discharges from private stormwater facilities, eg those that have filters - We need as part of the resource report a listing of the 55 DEQ identified facilities which can impact ground water quality, we need a listing of the Oregon WRD water rights for withdrawal of water from streams in Tigard, and we need a listing of both permitted and unpermitted (ie residential) Oregon WRD groundwater permits. Hope this helps move the Natural Resources section forward. Jo Fre g RL ' E1VED OCT 4 2007 CITY OF TICARD BUILDINBDIVIS1ON
