Tigard's economy is Jintertwined with the economy of the region, the nation, and the world. GOAL 9: Economic Develo ment "To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health,welfare,and prosperity of Oregon's citizens." Tigard's location at the crossroads of several transportation routes has proven to be a major advantage. Other advantages include the relatively high educational attainment level of its citizens and its proximity to the high technology centers in Washington County and major educational institutions such as Portland State University and Portland Community College. A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation" for a city its size, due to the comparatively high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business. Tigard residents envision a future economy that builds on these strengths. Tigard shall have a strong and resilient local economy with a diverse portfolio of economic activity: retail,professional service,and industrial jobs. The local economy shall provide for goods and services for local resident and business needs but also have the goal of expanding the "traded sector."This sector sells goods and services outside the region to the broader state, national,and inter- national markets and/or produces goods and services that normally would have to be imported to the community. These businesses bring income into the community or region and keep local income from going elsewhere. Tigard's future economy may include activities whose characteristics are not foreseeable at this time such as live-work arrangements;light manufacturing combined with research and development; creative crafts and arts such as film, advertising,communications, etc. Therefore, the City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities. Tigard is sometimes perceived as a bedroom community for nearby cities. This . is not accurate. Tigard businesses provide 38,628 full and part time jobs in 2005 (State of Oregon Employment Department). This number is greater than the number of Tigard residents over the age of 16 in the workforce: 25,537 (O.E.D, 2006). Seventy percent of Tigard residents work outside the City, so thousands of workers from throughout the region are regularly commuting to Tigard jobs Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 9-1 • • -U' • ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (2000 Census). The City shall seek to expand the opportunities for residents to work closer to where they live. This will require promoting a mix of high quality housing opportunities for households with varying incomes. Quality of life factors shall be promoted to attract economic investments and a skilled work force. Among these factors are an attractive and well-main- tained community; high levels of public safety;accessible and responsive local government; availability of a variety of housing,good public schools; access to nature, high quality parks,leisure and recreation activities, safe and conve- nient multi-modal transportation opportunities, and smoothly running essential infrastructure. State and Regional Policies: The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and Metro have developed policies that address economic opportunities,which are based on Statewide Planning Goal 9. A major emphasis of the Goal 9 policies is to preserve and protect land for industrial and employment uses. Metro has sought to implement this on a regional basis. Title 4 of the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan identifies Industrial and Other Employment Areas that are important to the region. Tigard has little available vacant land suitable for new large-scale industrial devel- opment. The City is severely limited in its ability to expand its boundaries, so the only way to designate new industrial land would be to re-zone existing land. This is unlikely to happen at a large scale. Alternately, the City could encourage industrial-type uses that are not as land intensive. Tigard can ensure a strong economy with these desired characteristics by working on a formal economic development program. In the near term the Downtown Urban Renewal District has the potential to redevelop and attract additional employment and economic activity. KEY FINDINGS: • Tigard is home to a wide range of economic activity. 9-2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • ENDO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • Tigard does not have a formal city-wide economic development strategy. • Tigard's location at the crossroads of important transportation corridors I-5, Hwy 217, and Hwy 99W is a major advantage in attracting economic activity. • Approximately 31% of Tigard's land area is zoned for commercial,industrial,and mixed use purposes. These properties represent "The major about 31% of the total assessed property value. commercial • The major commercial and mixed-use areas and mixed- of the City are Washington Square,Tigard Triangle,Downtown Tigard,and the Hwy Ilse areas of 99W corridor.

Seventy percent of residents commute Hwy 99W outside the City; therefore,Tigard is a net corridor." attractor of commuters. • The mean travel time to work for Tigard resi- dents is 22.8 minutes. • In Tigard, the Wholesale Trade sector has the largest amount of sales. The Retail sector has the largest annual aggregate payroll and largest number of workers. • Financial Activities,Retail, and Construction are employment sectors with high Location Quotients (propensity to locate) in Tigard. Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 9-3 • • 0111•IM, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • Metro has designated approximately 1,100 acres of Industrial and Commercially zoned properties in Tigard as Title 4 Industrial and Employment Areas. Tigard will have to amend its code to limit the develop- ment of retail and service uses for some I-P zone properties. • There has been no large-scale encroachment of retail/office uses in indus- trial areas in Tigard. • In 1997 Metro assigned Tigard a capacity of 17,801 new jobs by the year 2017. Between 1997 and 2004,Tigard added approximately 3,800 jobs. • Tigard's supply of industrially zoned land will likely be inadequate to meet the forecasted 2024 job demand in this area. It appears that there is an adequate supply of commercial land. • Tigard has little vacant industrial land available to attract new large scale industrial development. • A recent study found that Tigard was a"hub for innovation."A study of patents and communities by the research firm iPiQ found that in 2005, Tigard had a high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business (29).The study attributed this to Tigard's lower rents and taxes attracting professionals from Portland and Beaverton.

Each person seeking a new place to call home must find a suitable match between price,location, housing type, and lifestyle,which can be a daunting task. In Oregon, the state planning goals aim to broaden the available selection. Each jurisdiction,including Tigard, must provide the opportunity for different "sizes" of housing to fit residents'varied needs, considering available land,price ranges, rent levels and housing type. GOAL"moo Housing "To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state." Some of the factors that local governments can influence are the supply of available residential land;the availability of public services; development regula- tions (density and design), and support for low and moderate income housing. In the Portland metropolitan region,only land , l included in the Metro Urban Growth Boundary •, "�,'he n t t (UGB), an invisible line that separates rural areas _ � '' f 14>, . from suburban,can be developed at residential '4;'. 4.0047/4664'07.;10 densities requiring urban services. At the local ` level, each state and regional jurisdiction must -- h). 1-.—,n', O�nC',�, inventory its buildable land,which is defined as 4 ,�4 . Sage rO S O vacant and re-developable land suitable for resi , -s.4. - u , dential use, to determine housing capacity. Tigard = Y , maintains a buildable lands inventory (BLI) that tracks available residential land. Two state and Metro requirements help determine housing capacities on buildable land within the Portland Metropolitan Area–the state Metropolitan Housing Rule and Title 1 of Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan (Functional Plan). Both focus on increasing jurisdictions' housing capacity in order to use land within the UGB efficiently. The Metropolitan Housing Rule (OAR 660-007/Division 7) established regional residential density and mix standards for communities within the Metro UGB. It set minimum residential density standards for new construction by jurisdiction. Tigard must provide for an overall density opportunity of 10 or more dwelling units per net buildable acre, as well as designate sufficient buildable land to provide the opportunity for at least 50% of new residential units to be attached housing (either single-family or multiple-family.) Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 10-1 • • ItS 14.1) HOUSING Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Metro implements Goal 10 through Tide 1.To meet Tide 1, each jurisdiction was required to determine its housing capacity and adopt minimum density requirements. Tigard adopted an 80% of minimum density requirement for development in 1998,which means that a development must build 80% of the maximum units allowed by the zoning designation. The City has a committed to providing the development opportunity for an additional 6,308 dwelling units between 1998—2017. This number shows Tigard's zoned capacity for additional dwelling units. It is an estimate based on the minimum y number of dwelling units allowed in each residen- 0 a o U,g tial zoning district,assuming minimum density Qy requirements. mGnczn&s *14:1 dA ® a, P The City of Tigard maintains an up-to-date build- ` able lands inventory, U� a permit tracking system d b �� for development,as well as complying with Metro's Functional Plan. The City is responsible dater3 �. � -� �� for monitoring residential development. All of yam= these tools aid the City in monitoring its progress 84 o a toward the above goals, and determining if the opportunity remains for current and future resi- dents to have diverse housing choices. Tigard's Geographic Limits to Growth In the last several years,Washington County has urbanized significant areas of unincorporated land to the south and west of Tigard. It and service districts provide the minimum required facilities and services. The county's actions combined with state annexation law make it is improbable that most of these developed lands will annex to Tigard. Urbanized unincorporated land forms a barrier between Tigard and unincorporated urban growth areas designated by Metro. Thus Tigard is unlikely to expand its City boundaries in the future. The lack of vacant residential land will require Tigard to meet its housing capacity commitment within its current,mostly built-out,City limits. This will require actions to increase residential density within the appropriate areas such as along major transportation corridors, and within designated Regional and Town Centers. Thus,much new residential development will occur through urban infill and redevelopment. 10_2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • i HOUSING 9.. Affordable Housing/ Special Needs Housing Metro also addresses affordable housing in Title 7 of its Functional Plan. Title 7 includes voluntary affordable housing production goals and other afford- able housing strategies. Tigard has undertaken a variety of voluntary actions to support and enhance opportunities for affordable housing, including offset- ting City fees and charges for affordable housing, and a tax exemption for low income housing developed by nonprofits.Among the organizations involved in low income housing, special needs housing,and emergency housing, are Community Partners for Affordable Housing,Tualatin Valley Housing Partners,Luke-Dorf, and the Good Neighbor Center. Tigard is also part of the Washington County Housing Consortium that utilizes home and CDBG funds to provide housing opportunities. KEY FINDINGS: • Approximately two-thirds of Tigard is zoned for residential land uses (68.6%). • There are 19,468 single-family and multi-family housing units in Tigard,with an additional 55 mobile homes and 14 manufactured homes. 63.5% of the total units are single-family and 36.5 %are multi-family. • Eighty-one percent of housing units were built after 1970. • Most new housing built since 1994 has been single-family attached or detached (82%). • The majority of Tigard residents own their homes (58%),with 41% paying rent (2000 Census). • Over the last five years,Portland region housing prices have rapidly escalated. In Tigard, the 2005 median house price was $269,900,up 18% from 2004, and 46% from 2000. • The 1999 median household income for Washington County was $52,122. For Tigard the median household income was $51,581. • In the Portland metropolitan area in 2005, the ratio of house prices to wages was 6.8. ($41,623 median wage vs. $282,900 median house value.) This compares to an average ratio of 5.5 for the United States as a whole. • In a fall 2004 survey, apartment rents averaged $705 a month,which would Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 10-3 • -_ HOUSING be affordable for households making$28,200 or more annually,almost half of the median income. The 93% occupancy rate was lower than the optimal rate (95%), showing weaker demand; however, recent housing price increases could reverse this trend. • In 2006,Tigard had approximately 7,115 1 rental units. 67§°NV • There are 546 Tigard households with 1322 Qk people on the Washington County housing _ .. unified waiting list for Section 8 and public 09 CO ngNe ei housin g programs. Fif ty-four percent of these { households have children under the age of o OtYC �o b� F 18. Eighty-seven percent of these households � . make 30% or less of the 2003 annual median 1®w , © Washington County household income ($16,200 or less). - ' • Metro included a voluntary production goal ta,GOrn 0 for Tigard of 319 affordable housing units for lbowthaf the period 2001-2006. • Tigard itself does not construct affordable low to moderate income housing. Most of this housing in Washington County is constructed by non-profits using state and federal subsidies. • A large portion of the 2005 BLI is zoned low density(54%is R-3.5 or R- 4.5) or medium density (26% is R-7). No land zoned R-40 remains on the inventory. The majority of available lots are one acre or less in size. • Between 1994 and 2006, 3,380 housing units have been built in the City.This is 54% of its Title 1 zoned capacity number of 6,308 units (Metro Title 1; based on 1996 boundaries). • Based on this data,if the City developed its remaining residential buildable lands, an additional 2,879 to 3,456 units could be built. • Since 1994 the overall density of residential construction Citywide has been 6.8 dwelling units per acre. It is expected that more attached residential units will be constructed through redevelopment and infill as remaining single- family residential land is developed. 10-4 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • Ittfer HOUSING - • Areas such as Washington Square,Downtown Tigard, and the Tigard Triangle allow for higher density residential projects,but few high-density attached units have been built due to market conditions.

Assistant Planner Daniels gave the staff report and said this amendment would update Statewide Planning Goal 1 with goals, policies and recommended action measures relating to Citizen Involvement She said the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow visioning process and most recently completed community surveys were the building blocks used to put this policy together. She said, unlike other Comprehensive Plan chapters brought before the Council, this section was not included in the Tigard 2007 resource document so background information and key findings are induded at the front of the chapter. Assistant Planner Daniels described the schedule and process used,which included a Planning Commission public hearing and Council workshop meeting. She said it was a unique opportunity for the Policy Interest Team and Citizen Involvement Team to work together. She said the State's Citizen Involvement Advisory Council had an opportunity to review this and their comments are available in the staff report. She said the first goal in this chapter focused mainly on citizen involvement and land use to ensure that all citizens have an opportunity to participate in every phase of the planning process. She said the second goal ensures that citizens have access to information and opportunities to communicate with city staff,elected and appointed officials. She said that by adopting this new comprehensive plan chapter the City is signaling its commitment to involving citizens in all aspects of city government Mayor Dirksen said that no one had signed up to speak. He asked if there was anyone in the audience who wanted to testify either for or against the proposed changes to this comprehensive plan chapter. Rex Caffall, 13205 SW Village Glen Drive, Tigard, OR 97223, said he was a member of both the Committee for Citizen Involvement and the Planning Commission. He said he agrees wholeheartedly with the report and hopes for more citizen involvement. There being no further public testimony,Mayor Dirksen asked for the staff recommendation. Assistant Planner Daniels said staff has found that the language in the Amendment complies with applicable State land use goals,the City's Municipal Code and Comprehensive Plan,as well as federal,state and regional plans and regulations. She said staff recommends the Planning Commission's recommendation to adopt Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2007-00005. Mayor Dirksen asked for Council comments. Councilor Woodruff said there is no question that Council is very supportive of encouraging communication with citizens, but he had one suggestion to improve the language. He said ways in which the City communicates with citizens are discussed but he suggested being more specific that the City values getting information back from citizens. He said the City encourages feedback regarding City services and plans, through means such as having comment cards available at City offices and public meetings, and by providing opportunities for dialog at Fifth Tuesday meetings. He proposed that Goal 1.2.A. become Goal 1.2,and 1.2.B. become Goal 1.3 which would describe how citizen feedback comes to the City. Councilor Sherwood questioned whether Fifth Tuesday meetings should be listed in the Comprehensive Plan because that might change from Council to Council. Councilor Wilson said that would be more of an Action Measure. City Manager Prosser suggested that the goal as written addresses the issue but asked about inserting language in the policies to address Councilor Woodruff's concerns. He suggested the wording, "The City shall provide opportunities for citizens to provide feedback to City Council and staff, boards and commissions on issues before them. The city shall use a variety of means such as comment cards,internet, and Fifth Tuesdays to gather feedback from citizens." Councilor Woodruff said this would be better but still wanted Goal 1.2 to speak to communication going both ways. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA-February 5, 2008 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 2 of8 Assistant Planner Daniels said they were combined because there were policies and action measures applying to both. Councilor Woodruff said,"Most of those action measures apply to the first goal of giving information to the public. There would be a couple of them that could fit under getting information back from the public." He said the more it can be emphasized that the City wants information to come back,the better. Councilor Wilson agreed and said. "The thing that is difficult to get at is what the average citizen wants. What are their concerns?" Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said there was an opportunity here to raise the status of the need to have citizens communicate directly to the City,Council,boards,commissions and staff. To keep with the format he recommended a goal that reads,"Ensure all citizens have opportunities to communicate directly to the City and also to receive information,in an understandable form, on issues that concern them." Councilor Woodruff said he could live with that suggestion if the communication from citizens is listed as the first goal and the phrase about the City providing information to the public is second. 6:56:02 PM Assistant Community Development Director Bunch suggested wording for Goal A, "Ensure all citizens have opportunities to communicate directly to the City. And then B:Ensure citizens have an opportunity to receive information on issues from the City in understandable form. And the policy would say the City shall provide opportunities for citizens to communicate directly to the City Council,boards,commissions and staff regarding issues that concern them." 6:56:37 PM Council all agreed on using Mr.Bunch's proposed wording. Councilor Sherwood moved to accept the addition to Goal 1.2. Councilor Wilson seconded the motion. Councilor Woodruff asked if they would need to see it again. Mayor Dirksen asked,"If we agree to specific language right now,then it can be included and we don't need to bring it back before us again,do we?" City Attorney Phillips said,"It's my understanding that all of this is going to come back before you again eventually." City Manager Prosser said,"We're adopting each chapter as we go." Assistant Community Development Director Bunch commented that he had discussed with City Attorney Ramis the need to incorporate all the legislative findings into one package at the end of the process.Attorney Phillips said that was her understanding from Mr.Ramis. She said"He did have a few issues that he was going to deal with,with Mr.Bunch. But it was my understanding that it would come back as Mr.Bunch said." City Manager Prosser said the issue was if Council is clear enough on the language encompassed in the amendment to feel comfortable that it will be incorporated in the Ordinance. He said if there is that level of comfort then they could move forward with approving the Ordinance as amended. 6:59:46 PM Mayor Dirksen said,"I heard specific language and that's what I would expect it would come back.Councilor Sherwood said she made the motion which was seconded by Councilor Wilson for this addition to go in. Mayor Dirksen called for a vote on the amendment. The amendment passed unanimously. He asked Council if there was any other discussion to be held before he closed the Public Hearing.

Mayor Dirksen asked if any Council member wished to declare or discuss a conflict of interest or abstention. Councilor Sherwood said she works in the housing industry and has worked with several people who may be testifying. City Manager Prosser said City Attorney Phillips advised him that since this is a Legislative Public Hearing this is not a conflict 7:02:58 PM 7:03:44 PM Associate Planner Family gave the staff report and noted that Council reviewed the Planning • Commission's recommendations and requested an additional action measure during a workshop meeting. He said Attachment 1 details the changes in three key findings and one policy as well as proposed language for the additional recommended action measure. He said that these chapters will be the basis to provide adequate opportunities for a variety of economic activities vital to Tigard's health, wealth and prosperity. He said they will provide the opportunity for adequate housing for the community and protect residential livability. Mayor Dirksen opened the Hearing for Public Testimony. He noted that no one signed up to speak and he asked if anyone in the audience wanted to provide testimony. He noted that the two chapters are being considered together so anyone could testify on either or both proposed amendments at the same time. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA-February 5, 2008 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 4 of /10 7:07:05 PM Sheila Fink,6777 SW Alden,Garden Home,OR 97223,said she works with CPAH (Community Partners for Affordable Housing) based in Tigard. She said,'We are very impressed with what a small city like Tigard has been able to do to make a difference over the past decade on this issue. We think economy and housing are integrally linked and we see that every day when we see the number of cars that are congested on 217, Pacific Highway, Greenberg Road and other arterials because a lot of people who work here still can't afford to live here." She encouraged Tigard to do anything it can as a city to further take action measures linking the needs of the workforce with housing that can fit it. She said, 'We certainly appreciate your actions. We know you have done that in the past in a very concrete way and it's been an inspiration to other small cities in Washington County." She thanked staff for attending a recent Chamber of Commerce meeting because she said a lot of small businesses struggle with workforce housing and it was a good way to link these things for them. She said they could see there were steps that could be taken to make a difference. Councilor Sherwood said that she requested that the City decline to adopt the affordable housing goal that Metro had set because Tigard had already had met it. Mayor Dirksen asked if anyone else wanted to testify on the issues of Housing or Economic Development. No one asked to speak. Mayor Dirksen asked staff for their recommendation. Associate Planner Farrelly said staff has found that the language included in the amendment complies with applicable State Land Use Goals, the City's Municipal Code and Comprehensive Plan polices as well as federal, state and regional plans and regulations. He said staff recommended adopting the language forwarded by the Planning Commission with the alternative language found in Attachment 1 that addresses the Council workshop discussion. Mayor Dirksen asked if Council had any questions. Councilor Wilson asked if Exhibit A already had the updated language. Associate Planner Farrelly said it did not;the Council Workshop changes were included in Attachment 1. He said Exhibit D explained changes recommended by Planning Commission which have been incorporated into Exhibit A,and Attachment 1 reflects what was discussed at Council Workshop meeting. City Manager Prosser clarified procedures saying if Council wants to move forward with the changes in the memo, a motion would be required to amend Exhibit A to include Attachment 1, and then when adopting the Ordinance with Exhibit A and any other amendments,they would be incorporated. Councilor Woodruff asked why income information was not more current than 2003. Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said staff relies on census data. Associate Planner Farrelly said this is updated every five years and will be updated again in 2008. Councilor Wilson asked about Goal 6 on page 9-5 and said there are so many different kinds of businesses and to evaluate them solely in terms of employees per acre is simplistic. He suggested removing the words,"to gain higher numbers of employers per acre." He said many types of businesses are needed for an urban area to function including distribution centers where there may be large acreage needed but fewer employees. Mayor Dirksen asked staff for their input on Councilor Wilson's suggestion. Associate Planner Farrelly agreed that increasing the number of employers per acre is not the main goal and what is wanted is more efficient use of land. Mayor Dirksen asked what Goal 9.1,Policy 3 on page 9-4 meant. Associate Planner Farrelly said it came from a citizen comment that the policy saying the City should be flexible was overly concerned about economics and not concerned about other community interests. He said, "The way we satisfied that citizen was adding the infrastructure part at the end." He said what they meant was that the City should be flexible and adaptive so as TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA—February 5, 2008 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 5 of • I . not to preclude economic development, as long as there is planned and existing infrastructure available. He asked if this answered Council's questions. • Councilor Wilson said that it did not Mayor Dirksen moved to add"so as not to prelude desirable economic opportunities that are compatible with existing or reasonably achievable infrastructure." Councilor Sherwood seconded the motion. Councilor Wilson said the language needed to be stronger. He said it would be easy to up-zone and allow density. He said,"The Washington Square Regional Center requires$200 million dollars of infrastructure and - there is no means to finance that I think you have to be responsible in your planning to allow things to happen only at a pace that can be supported." He suggested the words,"promote desirable economic development" Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said the key objective is to get the desired economic development opportunities but not overrun the City's infrastructure capabilities. He suggested the following replacement language for Policy 3,"The City's land use and regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive to promote economic development opportunities provided required infrastructure is made available." Mayor Dirksen withdrew his motion and asked Councilor Sherwood if she withdrew her second to that motion. Councilor Sherwood said she did.

He said the Washington County Coordinating Committee is proposing two ballot measures. He said an update of the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) with an added System Development Charge (SDC) will be on the ballot in May. The other is a continuation of the Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program and will be known as MSTIP 4. Engineer Duenas said the County and Coordinating Committee have narrowed it down to two options. He said one option is to keep the existing TIF and then pass an additional SDC,and the other option is to rework the existing TIF to comply with current SDC law but have it voted on for adoption as a tax. He said there are complicating factors and a short time frame so he expected a lot of discussion on this at the February 11,2008 Washington County Coordinating Committee meeting. Councilor Wilson asked how TIF's are collected and if the City collects them and then passes them to the County. Engineer Duenas said the City keeps the money collected but it needs to be expended on improvements to capacity collectors. Councilor Wilson questioned why Areas 63&64 TIF's would be collected by County but not spent here on the impact they create for Tigard. Mayor Dirksen said unincorporated area TIF's are collected by Washington County but can be spent anywhere in the system if the County recognizes that certain areas are affected. He said that typically these projects would be brought before the WCCC so all representatives have an opportunity to weigh in before these funds are allocated. Engineer Duenas said the current TIF only covers 20%of the costs of development and the direction from the County and City leaders is to double the TIF collections. He said this does not preclude cities from having their own TIF's. He said MSTIP 4 project requests for a 200%list had been revised and Tigard projects remaining on the revised list include Walnut Street improvements from 116th to Highway 99W,72nd Avenue in the Tigard Triangle, and the realignment of the Hunziker,Scoffins &Hall intersections. Engineer Duenas said because of his and other city's input the MSTIP4 rankings have been updated. He said each jurisdiction gets to pick their top two projects and then some money is taken for bike/pedestrian and county road improvements. He said the remainder is used for major system-wide projects that benefit the entire system. He referred to the project list distributed to Council and said two Walnut Street projects in Tigard made the cutoff. He felt this was positive because future development can help pay for 72nd Street improvements but Walnut Street probably couldn't get development funding. He noted that this list was not final and some cuts would still be made. Mayor Dirksen noted that Scholls Ferry Road signal coordination remains on the list and while it was not submitted by the City,Tigard will benefit Mayor Dirksen said he was not in agreement with the criteria but is interested in the opinions of Council and asked for their feedback so he could carry back their comments to the February 11th WCCC meeting. Councilor Sherwood said if no projects in the Measure would benefit Tigard she would not support it • Councilor Wilson said he would prefer that all available funds not be put on the Walnut Street projects,noting that he has never seen a traffic jam on Walnut and other streets needed to be done too.

Councilor Sherwood said she gets many complaints from people using that street Engineer Duenas said Walnut Street has two separate segments with two scopes. He said rights of way had been purchased already for the Tiedeman to 99W segment He also said flashing lights near Fowler Middle School would be installed which only flash during certain parts of the day allowing traffic to move more freely at other times. Councilor Sherwood noted that this would include more sidewalks as well. Mayor Dirksen said 72nd Avenue has greater priority for him and is a county-wide issue. He thanked Engineer Duenas for the update. NON-AGENDA ITEMS - Councilor Sherwood said the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) committee met to review project applications. She said unfortunately, because of the way the ratings were set up, funding is not assured if a project has already started. Because of this the Tigard Senior Center came in fourth on the list. She also mentioned that President Bush is looking to reduce the CDBG program by half. Councilor Woodruff thanked Assistant City Manager Newton and staff who coordinated the Neighborhood Network Open House. City Manager Prosser said the open house was well attended and was a success. Councilor Woodruff moved for adjournment at 8:05 p.m. Councilor Sherwood seconded the motion and all voted in favor.

Tigard's economy is 4intertwined with the economy of the region,the nation,and the world. • GOAL 9 Economic Development ! r y 4 "To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety ofeconomic activities vital to the health,welfare,and prosperity of Oregon's citizens." . Tigard's location at the crossroads of several transportation routes has proven to be a major advantage. Other advantages include the relatively high educational attainment level of its citizens and its proximity to the high technology centers in Washington County and major educational institutions such as Portland State University and Portland Community College. A recent study found that Tigard • was a"hub for innovation" for a city its size,due to the comparatively high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business. Tigard residents envision a future economy that builds on these strengths. Tigard shall have a strong and resilient local economy with a diverse portfolio of economic activity: retail,professional service, and industrial jobs. The local economy shall provide for goods and services for local resident and business needs but also have the goal of expanding the"traded sector."This sector sells goods and services outside the region to the broader state, national,and inter- national markets and/or produces goods and services that normally would have to be imported to the community. 'These businesses bring income into the community or region and keep local income from going elsewhere. Tigard's future economy may include activities whose characteristics are not foreseeable at this time such as live-work arrangements;light manufacturing combined with research and development;creative crafts and arts such as film, advertising,communications,etc.Therefore, the City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities. Tigard is sometimes perceived as a bedroom community for nearby cities.This is not accurate. Tigard businesses provide 38.628 full and part time jobs in 2005 (State of Oregon Employment Department).This number is greater than the number of Tigard residents over the age of "16 in the workforce: 25.537 (O.E.D, 2006). Seventy percent of Tigard residents work outside the City,so thousands of workers from throughout the region are regularly commuting to Tigard jobs Comprehensive Plan I Ciry of Tigard 9-1 • • ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (2000 Census). The City shall seek to expand the opportunities for residents to work closer to where they live. This will require promoting a mix of high quality housing opportunities for households with varying incomes. Quality of life factors shall be promoted to attract economic investments and a skilled work force. Among these factors arc: an attractive and well-main- tained community; high levels of public safety;accessible and responsive local government;availability of a variety of housing; good public schools;access to nature; high quality parks;leisure and recreation activities;safe and convenient, multi-modal, transportation opportunities;and smoothly running essential infrastructure. State and Regional Policies:The Department of Land Conservation and Development(DLCD) and Metro have developed policies that address economic opportunities,which are based on Statewide Planning Goal 9. A major emphasis of the Goal 9 policies is to preserve and protect land for industrial and employment uses. Metro has sought to implement this on a regional basis.Title 4 of the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan identifies Industrial and Other limployment Areas that arc important to the region. Tigard has little available vacant land suitable for new large-scale industrial devel- opment. The City is severely limited in its ability to expand its boundaries, so the only way to designate new industrial land would be to re-zone existing land. This is unlikely to happen at a large scale.Alternately, the City could encourage industrial-type uses that are not as land intensive. Tigard can ensure a strong economy with these desired characteristics by working on a formal economic development program. In the near term the Downtown Urban Renewal District has the potential to redevelop and attract additional employment and economic activity. KEY FINDINGS: • Tigard is home to a wide range of economic activity. • Tigard does not have a formal city-wide economic development strategy. 9-2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan •, :''' • . ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • Tigard's location at the crossroads of important transportation corridors 1-5, Hwy 217,and I lwy 99W is a major advantage in attracting economic activity. • Approximately 31"'i�of Tigard's land area is zoned for commercial, industrial,and mixed use purposes.These properties represent about 31°'u of the total assessed property value. • The major commercial and mixed-use areas 1 of the City are Washington Square,Tigard "The mayor V Triangle,Downtown Tigard,and the I-lw',' : 99\W corridor.

Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 9-3 E • ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • There has been no large-scale encroachment of retail/office uses in industrial areas in Tigard. • In 1997 I\letro assigned Tigard a capacity of 17,801 new jobs by the year 2017.Between 1997 and 2004,Tigard added approximately 3,800 jobs. • Tigard's supply of industrially zoned land will likely be inadequate to meet the forecasted 2024 job demand in this area. It appears that there is an adequate supply of commercial land. • Tigard has little vacant industrial land available to attract new large scale industrial development. • A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation."A study of patents and communities by the research firm iPiQ found that in 2005, Tigard had a high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business (29).The study attributed this to Tigard's lower rents and taxes attracting professionals from Portland and Beaverton.

" frAlt 1 • • HOUSING ADOPTED AMENDMENTS DATE CPA# CHANGES • City of Tigard E Comprehensive Plan • • HOUSING , len it comes to housing, one size does not fit all. Each person seeking a new place to call home must find a suitable match between price,location,housing type, and lifestyle,which can be a daunting task. In Oregon, the state planning goals aim to broaden the available selection. Each jurisdiction, including Tigard,must provide the opportunity for different "sizes" of housing to fit residents'varied needs, considering available land,price ranges,rent levels and housing type. GOAL - . Houstng 1 .. , ,x: �= „r, "To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state." Some of the factors that local governments can influence are the supply of available residential land; the availability of public services;development regula- tions (density and design), and support for low and moderate income housing. In the Portland metropolitan region, only land included in the Metro Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), an invisible line that separates rural areas from suburban, can be developed at residential densities requiring urban services.At the local level, each state and regional jurisdiction must inventory its buildable land,which is defined as vacant and re-develop- able land suitable for residential use to determine r , housing capacity. Tigard maintains a buildable he it~ ' lands inventory (BLI) that tracks available resi- comes td' dential land. Two state and Metro requirements .. help determine housing capacities on buildable housing, one: { land within the Portland Metropolitan Area—the state Metropolitan Housing Rule and Title 1 of size does not Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional " f Plan (Functional Plan). Both focus on increasing fit all -- . jurisdictions'housing capacity in order to use land = _z +,;,4 F ..„ ,; -^ within the UGB efficiently. The Metropolitan 1-lousing Rule (OAR 660-007/Division 7) established regional residential density and mix standards for communities within the Metro UGB. It set minimum residential density standards for new construction by jurisdiction. Tigard must provide for an overall density opportunity of 10 or more dwelling units per net buildable acre, as well as designate sufficient buildable land to provide the opportunity for at least 50% of new residential units to be attached housing (either single-family or multiple-family.) Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 10-1 • • re; HOUSING Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Metro implements Goal 10 through Title 1.To meet Title 1, each jurisdiction was required to determine its housing capacity and adopt minimum density requirements. Tigard adopted an 80% of minimum density requirement for development in 1998,which means that a development must build 80% of the maximum units allowed by the zoning designation. The City has a committed to providing the development opportunity for an additional 6,308 dwelling units between 1998—2017. This number shows Tigard's zoned capacity for additional dwelling • "The City ';. units.

Tigard's Geographic Limits to Growth In the last several years,Washington County has urbanized significant areas of unincorporated land to the south and west of Tigard. It and service districts provide the minimum required facilities and services. The county's actions combined with state annexation law make it is improbable that most of these developed lands will annex to Tigard. Urbanized unincorporated land forms a barrier between Tigard and unincorporated urban growth areas designated by Metro. Thus Tigard is unlikely to expand its City boundaries in the future. The lack of vacant residential land will require Tigard to meet its housing capacity commitment within its current,mostly built-out,City limits. This will require actions to increase residential density within the appropriate areas such as along major transportation corridors,and within designated Regional and Town Centers. Thus, much new residential development will occur through urban infill and redevelopment. 10-2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • • HOUSING Affordable Housing/ Special Needs Housing Metro also addresses affordable housing in Title 7 of its Functional Plan. Title 7 includes voluntary affordable housing production goals and other afford- able housing strategies.Tigard has undertaken a variety of voluntary actions to support and enhance opportunities for affordable housing,including offset- ting City fees and charges for affordable housing, and a tax exemption for low income housing developed by nonprofits. Among the organizations involved in low income housing, special needs housing, and emergency housing, are Community Partners for Affordable Housing,Tualatin Valley Housing Partners,Luke-Dorf,and the Good Neighbor Center. Tigard is also part of the Washington County Housing Consortium that utilizes home and CDBG funds to provide housing opportunities. KEY FINDINGS: • Almost three-quarters of Tigard is zoned for residential land uses (68.6%). • There are 19,468 single-family and multi-family housing units in Tigard,with an additional 55 mobile homes and 14 manufactured homes. 63.5% of the total units are single-family and 36.5 % are multi-family.

Census). • Over the last five years,Portland region housing prices have rapidly escalated. In Tigard, the 2005 median house price was $269,900,up 18% from 2004, and 46% from 2000. • The 1999 median household income for Washington County was $52,122. For Tigard the median household income was $51,581. • In the Portland metropolitan area in 2005, the ratio of house prices to wages was 6.8. ($41,623 median wage vs. $282,900 median house value.) This compares to an average ratio of 5.5 for the United States as a whole.

The City declined to ho sing." adopt this goal. i • Tigard itself does not construct affordable low to moderate income housing. Most of this housing in Washington County is constructed by non-profits using state and federal subsidies. • A large portion of the 2005 BLI is zoned low density (54%is R-3.5 or R- 4.5) or medium density (26%is R-7). No land zoned R-40 remains on the inventory. The majority of available lots are one acre or less in size. • Between 1994 and 2006, 3,380 housing units have been built in the City.This is 54% of its Title 1 zoned capacity number of 6,308 units (Metro Title 1; based on 1996 boundaries). • Based on this data,if the City developed its remaining residential buildable lands, an additional 2,879 to 3,456 units could be built. • Since 1994 the overall density of residential construction Citywide has been 6.8 dwelling units per acre. It is expected that more attached residential units will be constructed through redevelopment and infill as remaining single- family residential land is developed. 10-4 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • HOUSING - • Areas such as Washington Square,Downtown Tigard, and the Tigard Triangle allow for higher density residential projects, but few high-density attached units have been built due to market conditions.

PAGE 1 OF 18 • SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History 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 chapters before the Planning Commission tonight are Economic Development (Goal 9), and Housing (Goal 10). The Planning Commission held a workshop on October 15, 2007 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 strikeouts and added text bold and underlined): Economic Development Goal 9.1 The Planning Commission requested that the recommended action measure on economic clusters be made a policy. Policy 11 was created to reflect this. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 2 OF 18 • • 11. The City shall develop economic clusters by encouraging the retention, expansion and recruitment of industries that already have a presence in Tigard. The Planning Commission requested recommended that a policy be added to indicate the need for economic development be balanced with other community concerns. Policy 12 was created to reflect this. 12. The City shall assure economic development promotes other community qualities, such as livability and environmental quality that are necessary for a sustainable economic future. The Planning Commission suggested that an action measure address the potential need for an Economic Development Director position for the City. Action Measure was revised to reflect this. i. Develop a formal City of Tigard economic development program and strategy to implement the community's economic development goals and policies and consider the creation of an economic development director position to develop and implement the program. The Planning Commission asked for more integration between residential, retail, and commercial uses.Action Measure xii was added. xii. Increase opportunities for higher density housing and employment development in the Downtown Urban Renewal District,Washington Square Regional Center, Tigard Triangle, and designated Corridors to enable more intense housing and employment uses to be located in close proximity to transit and other urban uses. The Planning Commission asked for additional emphasis to be placed on supporting existing businesses that have the potential to develop into clusters. Action Measure xiii was added to address this. xiii. Prioritize support for businesses identified as being able to develop into regional industry clusters. Action Measure xiv was added in response to the Planning Commission request for developing a branding and marketing effort for Tigard. xiv. Improve media contacts and develop a branding / marketing effort to promote Tigard as a place to live and do business. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 3 OF 18 • Goal 9.2 The Planning Commission recommended that the language of Policy 1 be clarified. 1. The City shall institute provide appropriately land use - : .. . • :: - regulations to accommodate a contemporary mix of economic activities. The Planning Commission recommended that the policies and action measures for Goal 9.2 be more detailed and expanded upon. Policy 3 and Action Measures i through vi were added in response. 3. The City shall engage with state and regional economical development organizations and agencies to sustain and expand its current economic activities and be prepared for future economic trends. i. Develop a strategy to increase the number of higher-paying knowledge based and traded sector jobs that pay higher than national average wages. in Tigard. ii. Investigate ways to support local innovative businesses and economic activities, as evidenced by the relatively high number of patents granted to individuals and small business in Tigard. iii. Investigate the potential for a business incubator or innovation center that fosters the start-up of new innovative businesses and connects regional economic partners.businesses,higher education and venture capitalists. iv. Improve connections with major universities to promote research connections, and access to innovative business practices. v. Promote Downtown Tigard as a place for innovative and emerging business to expand or relocate. vi. Encourage programs that promote sustainable business practices (e.g., recycling,green building or other sustainable design features,the use of green or alternative energy,commute trip reduction programs). Goal 9.3 The Planning Commission suggested that Policy 1 also make reference to the Tigard Triangle. The policy was updated. 1. The City shall focus a significant portion of future employment growth and high-density housing development in its Metro-designated Town Center (Downtown);Regional Center (Washington Square);and High Capacity Transit Corridor (Hwy 99W); and the Tigard Triangle. Action Measure v was revised in response to the Planning Commission's suggestion. • STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. • PAGE 4 OF 18 • • • v. Investigate ways to improve the appearance and function of Hwy 99W and other transportation corridors. The Planning Commission felt that the City should not be involved in creating a wireless internet system,but should monitor emerging technologies to assure competitively priced access. Action Measure xv was modified to reflect this. xv. Monitor emerging wireless and high-speed internet technologies to ensure competitively priced access for Tigard residents and businesses. Action Measure xvi was added to reinforce the desire to balance economic development activities with other community goals. xvi. Recognize and promote community events as having potential for positive economic impacts and as important for community identity. Housing Goal 10.2 The Planning Commission recommended that any future community design standards be applied to multi-family housing development,rather than all housing. Policy 6 has been changed to reflect this. 6. The City shall promote innovative and well-designed housing development through application of planned developments and community design standards for multifamily housing. The Planning Commission recommended that infill development be designed to address, rather than exhibit compatibility with existing neighborhoods. Policy 9 has been changed to reflect this. 9.The City shall require infill development to be designed to address exhibit compatibility with existing neighborhoods. The Planning Commission suggested changing the language of Policy 10 to make it clear it was addressing home based businesses.This has been changed. 10.The City shall regulate home-based businesses (occupations) to prevent adverse impacts on residential areas. Proposal Description The primary intent of the proposed changes 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 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10.

This amendment is the first in a series of amendments that will update the Comprehensive Plan in its entirety. This amendment will update Statewide Planning Goals 9 and 10 with goals, policies, and recommended action measures that will serve as the "legislative foundation" in regards to economic development and housing. Land use actions and amendments to the Tigard Development Code will be based on the new language included in this amendment. 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.

Topic 8:Transportation 8.1.2 Provide a balanced transportation system,incorporating all modes of transportation. Findings: Proposed Goal 9.1 and its associated policies direct the City to maintain and improve transportation facilities to assure a strong economy. Proposed Goals 10.1 and 10.2 and their associated policies would support this policy by encouraging housing that is adjacent to transit and other services. This would enhance the likelihood of using transportation modes other than • driving an automobile. Topic 11:Downtown Tigard Urban Renewal District 11.1.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 11 OF 18 • 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 1: Requirements for Housing and Employment Accommodation -Use land within the UGB efficiently by increasing its capacity to accommodate housing and employment.Each city and county in the region should consider actions to increase its capacity and to take action if necessary to accommodate its share of regional growth as specified in this title. Findings: The proposed amendment addresses the efficient use of land in several ways. Specifically, Goal 9.1, Policy 5 supports the efficient use and redevelopment of vacant and underutilized commercial and industrial lands. Policies associated with Goal 9.1 and Goal 10.1 call for increasing opportunities for higher density housing and employment development in its Regional and Town Centers, Corridors, and the Tigard Triangle which will increase Tigard's housing and employment capacity. Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 4 Industrial and Other Employment Areas- Provide and protect a supply of sites for employment by limiting the types and scale of non-industrial uses in Regionally Significant Industrial Areas (RSIAs), Industrial and Employment Areas;provide the benefits of"clustering" to those industries that operate more productively and efficiently in proximity to one another than in dispersed locations;protect the capacity and efficiency of the region's transportation system for the movement of goods and services and to encourage the location of other types of employment in Centers, Employment Areas, Corridors, Main Streets and Station Communities. Findings: Proposed Policy 6,under Goal 9.1, specifically addresses Title 4 requirements by directing the City to promote actions that result in greater, more efficient,utilization of its Metro- designated Employment and Industrial Areas to gain higher numbers of employees per acre. Economic clustering, and protecting the capacity and efficiency of the region's transportation system are also addressed in Goal 9.1 and its associated policies. Proposed Goal 9.3, Policy 1 aims to encourage employment opportunities in Centers. These Goals and Policies recognize-the importance of regional coordination of economic activities. Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 6: Central City,Regional Centers, Town Centers, and Station Communities- Enhance Centers by encouraging development in these Centers that will improve the critical roles they play in the region and by discouraging development outside Centers that will detract from those roles. Findings: Proposed Goals 9.3 and 10.1 and their associated policies (see Exhibit A) acknowledges the critical role that Tigard's Regional and Town Centers in assuring opportunities for higher housing and employment densities.

Findings:Proposed Goal 10.1 (see Exhibit A) addresses the provision of opportunities for a variety of housing types.The associated policies and action measures contain strategies to support and enhance opportunities for affordable housing,including subsidizing City fees for affordable housing. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment satisfies the applicable Metro regulations. 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, a presentation to the Tigard Area Chamber of Commerce, 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 25, 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. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 13 OF 18 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 9:Economic Development To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health,welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. Findings: The proposed amendment is consistent with Goal 9, as the changes direct the City to provide opportunities for a variety of economic activities that will benefit Tigard residents and businesses, and the regional economy. This policy direction expands and enhances Tigard's current economic related policies. Proposed Goal 9.1 and its associated policies (see Exhibit A),provide clear direction for the City to develop and maintain a diversified and sustainable local economy which will benefit residents and businesses. Proposed Goal 9.2 and its associated policies, seeks to make Tigard a center and incubator for innovative businesses and other industries that can adapt to and anticipate future trends. Proposed Goal 9.3 and its associated policies aim to improve Tigard's quality of life factors that can attract economic investments and a skilled workforce. All of these goals and policies have the ability to diversify Tigard's economy by building on its strengths and accommodating future economic trends. Current Comprehensive Plan Policies relating to Statewide Planning Goal 9 will be deleted and replaced in their entirety by proposed amendment Goals 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3 and their associated Policies. 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 9 as the new goals and policies reflect current community conditions and values. The new goals and policies have been developed through an intensive citizen involvement effort,reviewed by City staff, reviewed by affected agencies, and reviewed by the Planning Commission at the October 15, 2007 workshop. The Department of Land Conservation and Development, who administers the Statewide Planning Program, was given the opportunity to review the proposed changes. Their comments can be found in Exhibit B. Statewide Planning Goal10:Housing To provide adequate housing for the needs of the community, region and state. Findings: The proposed amendment is consistent with Goal 10 by directing the City to maintain policies that provide adequate housing for the needs of the community. The proposed goals and policies build on housing policies already in place in the community. Proposed Goal 10.1 and its associated policies directs the City to provide opportunities for a variety of housing types that meet the needs,preferences, and financial capabilities of current and • STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 14 OF 18 • • future residents. The housing requirements of the elderly and those with special needs would be recognized. Proposed Goal 10.2 calls for the City to maintain a high level of residential livability. The associated policies set out a variety of ways to achieve this. Current Comprehensive Plan Policies relating to Statewide Planning Goal 10 will be deleted and replaced in their entirety by proposed amendment Goals 10.1, and 10.2 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 10 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, including DLCD, and reviewed by the Planning Commission at the October 15,2007 workshop. Statewide Planning Goal 12: Transportation To provide a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Findings: The proposed Amendment is consistent with this goal as it provides policy direction to diversify the City's transportation system by promoting land use policies and sustainable development patterns that will encourage the use of alternative forms of transportation (biking, walking, public transit). These proposed Policies would improve the safety, efficiency and economy of the transportation system in the City and expand access to transportation options that could improve air quality and conserve energy. Statewide Planning Goal 13:Energy Conservation Land and uses developed on the land shall be managed and controlled so as to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy,based on sound economic principles. Findings: The proposed Amendment is consistent with Goal 13. It provides policy direction that would result in increased opportunities to live, shop, recreate, and work in environments with multi-modal transportation access. This would make alternate forms of transportation more feasible and allow residents to conserve energy by reducing their dependence on automobiles. 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 Police Department has had an opportunity to review this proposal and had no objection it. SECTION VII. OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not respond: STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 15 OF 18 • Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue Tualatin Valley Water District City of Beaverton City of Durham City of King City City of Lake Oswego City of Tualatin Metro Land Use and Planning Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1, District 2A Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1 Development Review Washington County, Department of Land Use and Transportation TriMet Transit Development The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (see Exhibit B) had an opportunity to review this proposal and offered the following comments: In the Key Findings for Housing, the City states that "A large portion of the 2005 BLI is zoned low density (54% is R- 3.5 or R-4.5) or medium density (26% is R-7). No land zoned R-40 remains on the inventory." Given that, "since 1994 the overall density of residential construction citywide has been 6.8 dwelling units per acre." The City is required to develop at an average of 10 dwelling units per acre. The City also notes that, "It is expected as remaining single-family residential land is developed that more attached units will be constructed through redevelopment and infill." And, "Areas such as Washington Square, Downtown Tigard, and the Tigard Triangle allow for higher density residential projects, but few high-density attached units have been built due to market conditions." These findings are insufficient to ensure that the City will achieve 10 dwelling units per acre." Let's discuss with our urban specialist some ways that may assist to getting the density required. Findings: The City complies with the Metropolitan Housing Rule (OAR 660, Division 7).The Housing Rule requires Portland Metropolitan Area cities to provide the opportunity for overall housing densities at a minimum of 10 units per acre and provide the opportunity for at least 50 percent of new residential units to be attached single family housing or multiple family housing. While much of the remaining residential buildable land is lower density, there is also a significant amount of land with mixed use zoning which permits higher density housing. The Buildable Lands Inventory also does not capture the potential for significant redevelopment of Tigard's Town Center- the Downtown Urban Renewal District. The City's adopted Comprehensive Chapter relating to the Urban Renewal District calls for the development of a vibrant urban village which includes a mix of uses including medium and high-density housing. It is anticipated that there will be significant higher density housing in the Downtown which will achieve the higher Citywide average density. In the Recommended Action Measures for Goal 10.1, xii the City recommends an action to "Increase Tigard's diversity of housing types through...inclusionary zoning." The Department notes that inclusionary zoning is prohibited by ORS 197.309,unless voluntary. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10.

Findings: Recommended Action Measure xv has been added to address the need for clear and objective standards for needed housing. xv. Adopt clear and objective approval standards. criteria, conditions, and review processes for needed housing per state requirements. Clean Water Services (see Exhibit C) had an opportunity to review this proposal and offered the following comments: We recommend following any and all 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 enhancement thereof. Findings: References to the Design and Construction Standards 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 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 zones. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Chapters 18.380 and 18.390, Comprehensive Plan Policies 1, 2,5 and 6;Metro Functional Plan Title 1, 4, 6, 7 and 12; and Statewide Planning Goals 1, 2, 9 and 10. STAFF REPORT Associate Planner, Sean Farrelly, presented the staff report on behalf of the City. He noted that Staff has found the language included in the amendment (as detailed in Exhibit A) 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 proposed amendment was developed through a review process with several hours of community input at Policy Interest Team meetings.The citizens used the technical information included in the Tigard 2007 Resource Report and the issues and values gathered from past surveys and visioning work to develop draft goals,policies,and recommended action measures to forward to the Commission.Planning Commissioners reviewed this draft language at an October 15th workshop and suggested several revisions. These changes (found at the beginning of the staff report) included: Economic Development Goal 9.1 Policy 11 was upgraded from an Action Measure to stress the importance of economic clusters. Policy 12 was added to address the principle that economic development should be balanced with other community concerns. Action Measure i was revised to address the potential need for an Economic Development Director position for the City. Action Measure xii was added in response to a request for more integration between residential, retail, and commercial uses. Action Measure xiii was added for additional emphasis on supporting existing businesses that have the potential to develop into clusters. Action Measure xiv was added as a result of the Planning Commission's suggestion for developing a PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2007—Page 2 • branding and marketing effort for Tigard. Goal 9.2 The Planning Commission recommended that the policies and action measures for this goal be expanded upon. Policy 3 and Action Measures i through vi were added in response. Goal 9.3 Policy 1 added a reference to the Tigard Triangle as a place for higher density employment and residential growth. Action Measure v was revised to include other transportation corridors besides Highway 99. Action Measure xv was modified to reflect the Planning Commission's feeling that the City should not be involved in creating a wireless internet system,but should monitor emerging technologies to assure competitively priced access. Staff added Action Measure xvi to reinforce the desire to balance economic development activities with other community goals. Housing Goal 10.2 Policy 6 was changed in response to the recommendation that any future community design standards be applied to multi-family housing development,rather than all housing. Policy 9 was revised to state that infill development should be designed to address compatibility, rather than exhibit compatibility,with existing neighborhoods. Policy 10 was changed to make it clear it was referring to home based businesses rather than home based occupations. A couple of definitions were added in response to Commissioners suggestions (although these will be adopted in a separate definitions chapter at a later date.) A number of agencies/jurisdictions were given the chance to comment on the amendment. Only DLCD and Clean Water Services responded,and their comments and staff's reply are found at the end of the staff report. In response to DLCD's comments,Action Measure xii,under Goal 10.1 was changed to state that inclusionary zoning should be voluntary and under Goal 10.2,Action Measure xv,was added to conform with state law on clear and objective standards for the development review process. The updated goals, policies, and recommended action measures will provide Tigard a more solid foundation on which to prepare ordinances, associated plans, development standards, programs, and intergovernmental agreements. Specifically it will provide the tools needed to build on and improve Tigard's economic health and livability. Staffs recommendation is to approve the language found in Exhibit A and forward it to the City Council for their review. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2007—Page 3 • • At this point,President Inman asked the commissioners if they had any questions or comments — some of which follow: • "Where are the definitions in our packet?" Towards the end—Exhibit D • 'What are `other transportation corridors'in Tigard—where are they?" Typically they're high capacity roads and would be good places to potentially put higher density housing, more employment, more retail, because on these roads typically there is transit(buses) on them. • "On Housing 10.2.vi—regarding policy 6 which denotes "multi-family housing" — why did we delineate `multi-family'housing?" Other than single family housing? I don't believe many communities typically have design standards for single family housing—that's usually exempted. • Commissioner Walsh commented that he believes, for consistency and clarity, that the language of Goal 9.1.xi should be changed from "economic clusters" to "industry clusters." PUBLIC TESTIMONY President Inman opened up the meeting to public testimony and reminded those present that there is a 3-minute time allotment and asked that people be as concise as possible. John Frewing, 7110 Lola Lane,Tigard 97223, had signed in as speaking both in favor of, and in opposition to, the amendment: He noted that in the prior package there were citations from the "Tigard for Tomorrow"values surveys that had been done over the years. He commented that the staff report said that this material was developed from that but in those lists of values there is nothing that referred to economic development. He commented that he believes the wording in some of the material is "overly enthusiastic" and in fact seems to trump the wording of other goals, policies, and action measures in the Comp Plan. He believes there should be roughly comparable wording across all the sections of the Comp Plan. For example, regarding Goal 9.1.iii he read verbatim, `The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities.' He said he would like that to be more even handed in its wording. At this point,Mr. Frewing noticed his 3-minute time limit was up, so he said he would then speak in opposition to this particular item: - He said he would add "consistent with protection of natural resources and contemporary development of adequate infrastructure." Therefore, he believes Goal 9.1.iii should read: "The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible so as to allow contemporary achievement of all Tigard goals when new business is sited in the City." He also commented that Policy 5 says "the City shall promote well designed and efficient development and redevelopment of vacant and underutilized etc..." the word "shall"—is that a budgetary commitment?As for "efficient development" —Mr. Frewing said he always asks the question "Efficient for whom?"There should not be code words. He believes the phrase `efficient development' should be clarified. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2007—Page 4 • S • [Commissioner Muldoon joined the meeting at 7:26pm.] Frewing commented that under Goal 10.1.i—the Recommended Action Measure i calls for regular update of Tigard's Buildable Land Inventory. He commented that the BLI definition should be modified to include all the lots in the City that might be subdivided for additional housing density. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED Regarding regulatory practices,Ron Bunch proposed alternative language: He suggested the language read "The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities with assurance of planned or existing infrastructure." In summary, President Inman said Commissioner Walsh had indicated a change to Goal 9.1.xi for clarity and consistency for economic to industry clusters. In addition—Ron Bunch had proposed the above language change regarding regulatory practices. The following motion by Commissioner Walsh was seconded by Commissioner Caffall: "I move for recommendation of approval to the City Council for application of CPA2007-00006 Tigard Comprehensive Plan update,Statewide Planning Goal 9,Economic Development, and Goal 10,Housing—and adoption of the changes cited in Goal 9.1.iii and Goal 9.1.xi,as suggested, and the findings of the staff report and testimony received." The motion carried as follows: AYES: Caffall,Doherty, Hasman, Inman,Muldoon,Walsh NAYS: None ABSTENTIONS: None EXCUSED: Anderson,Fishel,Vermilyea 6. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE WORKSHOP—CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT Assistant Planner,Marissa Daniels, spoke to the Commission about the Citizen Involvement Chapter,which is based on, among other things,the key findings of the draft chapter. She said the Citizen Involvement chapter is different from others in that citizen involvement is not included in the Tigard 2007 Resource document. She reported that Goal 1 was not addressed in that document and instead, the resource information and key findings were contained in the draft chapter.The Citizen Involvement Chapter is also based on the community issues and values,which were identified by citywide surveys and in the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow visioning process. It is also based on the current Comprehensive Plan policies,as well as on the work of the Policy Interest Team and Department Review Team. Daniels pointed out that the PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2007—Page S • • policy language presented in the draft Citizen Involvement Chapter is a direct result of the language written at Policy Interest Team meetings. There was a question as to how the City recruits people.Daniels replied that it is up to whoever the staff liaison is for whichever committee is in need of people. She noted that, for example, the Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) recently added 5 new at-large membership slots. She noted that Duane Roberts (Staff) has been very actively recruiting people and that there definitely is an outreach program in place to get people involved. She also noted that Commissioner Rex Caffall participated as a member of the Policy Interest Team for Citizen Involvement. The question was asked regarding the meaning of Goal 1.1.iv,which states "The City shall provide staff and financial support to the Committee for Citizen Involvement and any other appropriate board or committee." Daniels replied that the word "appropriate" should instead read "appointed." The correction was noted by the commissioners. At this point, President Inman asked if there was anyone else present who would like to speak. Daniels introduced Basil Christopher, chair of the CCI. Christopher gave a brief overview of the work of the CCI. He spoke about the Neighborhood Planning Program. 7. OTHER BUSINESS There was no other business. 8. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned by President Inman at 8:30pm.

The proposed language was approved and recommended by the Planning Commission at the November 19th 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 February 5th public hearing. Staff has worked closely with the Policy Interest Teams and citizen stakeholders on developing suitable language for the Comprehensive Plan update.With the Policy Interest Team's approval, staff added to and expanded upon the language to be consistent with Statewide Planning Goals. Whether or not to amend citizen recommendations is the role of the Planning Commission to recommend and the City Council to decide upon. At the workshop and public hearing the Planning Commission suggested additional language and revisions for the updated chapters. These requested changes are found below,with additions indicated by underline and bold and deletions indicated by . Economic Development Goal 9.1 In response to a citizen's concern stated at the public hearing,Policy 3 was edited. Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006 Memo to Council 1 December 7,2007 • • 3. The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities with assurance of planned or existing infrastructure. The Planning Commission requested that the recommended action measure on industry clusters be moved up to a policy. Policy 11 reflects this. 11. The City shall develop industry clusters by encouraging the retention, expansion and recruitment of industries that already have a presence in Tigard. The Planning Commission requested recommended that a policy be added to indicate the need for economic development to be balanced with other community concerns. Policy 12 was created to reflect this. 12. The City shall assure economic development promotes other community qualities, such as livability and environmental quality that are necessary for a sustainable economic future. The Planning Commission suggested that an action measure address the potential need for an Economic Development Director position for the City. Action Measure i was revised to reflect this. i. Develop a formal City of Tigard economic development program and strategy to implement the community's economic development goals and policies and consider the creation of an economic development director position to develop and implement the program. The Planning Commission asked for more integration between residential, retail, and commercial uses.Action Measure xii was added. xii. Increase opportunities for higher density housing and employment development in the Downtown Urban Renewal District,Washington Square Regional Center, Tigard Triangle, and designated Corridors to enable more intense housing and employment uses to be located in close proximity to transit and other urban uses. The Planning Commission asked for additional emphasis to be placed on supporting existing businesses that have the potential to develop into clusters. Action Measure xiii was added to address this. xiii. Prioritize support for businesses identified as being able to develop into regional industry clusters. Action Measure xiv was added in response to the Planning Commission request for developing a Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006 Memo to Council 2 December 7,2007 • • branding and marketing effort for Tigard. xiv.

The Planning Commission recommended that the policies and action measures for Goal 9.2 be extensively expanded upon.Policy 3 and Action Measures i through vi were added in response. 3. The City shall engage with state and regional economical development organizations and agencies to sustain and expand its current economic activities and be prepared for future economic trends. i. Develop a strategy to increase the number of higher-paying knowledge based and traded sector jobs that pay higher than national average wages.in Tigard. ii.

Improve connections with major universities to promote research connections, and access to innovative business practices. v. Promote Downtown Tigard as a place for innovative and emerging business to expand or relocate. vi. Encourage programs that promote sustainable business practices (e.g., recycling, green building or other sustainable design features, the use of green or alternative energy,commute trip reduction programs). Goal 9.3 The Planning Commission suggested that Policy 1 also make reference to the Tigard Triangle. The policy was updated. 1. The City shall focus a significant portion of future employment growth and high-density housing development in its Metro-designated Town Center (Downtown);Regional Center Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006 Memo to Council 3 December 7,2007 • • (Washington Square); and High Capacity Transit Corridor (Hwy 99W); and the Tigard Triangle. Action Measure v was revised in response to the Planning Commission's suggestion. v. Investigate ways to improve the appearance and function of Hwy 99W and other transportation corridors. The Planning Commission felt that the City should not be involved in creating a wireless internet system,but should monitor emerging technologies to assure competitively priced access. Action Measure xv was modified to reflect this. xv. Monitor emerging wireless and high-speed internet technologies to ensure competitively priced access for Tigard residents and businesses. Action Measure xvi was added to reinforce the desire to balance economic development activities with other community goals. xvi. Recognize and promote community events as having potential for positive economic impacts and as important for community identity. Housing Goal 10.2 The Planning Commission recommended that any future community design standards be applied to multi-family housing development,rather than all housing. Policy 6 has been changed to reflect this. 6.The City shall promote innovative and well-designed housing development through application of planned developments and community design standards for multi-family housing. The Planning Commission recommended that infill development be designed to address, rather than exhibit compatibility with existing neighborhoods.Policy 9 has been changed to reflect this. 9. The City shall require infill development to be designed to address emit compatibility with existing neighborhoods. The Planning Commission suggested changing the language of Policy 10 to make it clear it was addressing home-based businesses. This has been changed. 10.The City shall regulate home-based businesses (occupations) to prevent adverse Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006 Memo to Council 4 December 7,2007 • • impacts on residential areas. The Department of Land Conservation and Development reviewed the proposed Comprehensive Plan language and recommended two changes to conform to state law. Under Goal 10.1 Recommended Action Measure xii, has been edited to include voluntary inclusionary zoning as suggested by DLCD. xii. Increase Tigard's diversity of housing types through financial incentives and regulatory tools such as density transfer and planned development standards;transit, and vertical oriented housing tax credits;voluntary inclusionary zoning, etc. Under Goal 10.2 Recommended Action Measure xv has been added to address the need for clear and objective standards for needed housing. xv. Adopt clear and objective approval standards, criteria, conditions, and review processes for needed housing per state requirements. By adopting the language in the amendment, the City will take a step towards articulating the community's aspirations for economic development and housing. The economic development goals and policies will provide the basis to diversify Tigard's economy by building on its strengths and accommodating future economic trends. The housing goals will provide the basis to maintain a high level of residential livability and provide opportunities for a variety of housing types that meet the needs,preferences, and financial capabilities of current and future residents. 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. Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006 Memo to Council 5 December 7,2007 • • 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 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 Goals 9 and 10. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The proposed 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 data, inventories, and community conditions included in the Tigard 2007 resource document. Additionally, staff considered relevant findings from past citizen surveys and the Tigard visioning project. Council has stressed the importance of citizen input in the update of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff has carried this out by holding several Policy Interest Team meetings. Based on the above technical information and previously expressed values and attitudes, the Policy Interest Teams and staff formulated draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures. Subsequently, the Planning Commission held a public workshop on October 15, 2007 to review this draft language. At this public workshop, the Commission made suggestions for revisions and additional language to be incorporated into the amendment. At the November 19, 2007 public hearing, the Commission made a few additional edits and voted unanimously to recommend that Council adopt the updated chapters.These changes are summarized in staffs attached memorandum (Exhibit D). During the development of the chapters, Department Review Teams reviewed the proposed language for technical accuracy and conformance with applicable laws and rules. The updated chapter was also sent to regional, state, and federal agencies for comment. The new chapters represent Tigard citizens' aspirations and wishes and will help ensure a high quality of life and assure the health, safety,and welfare of the community. The updated Comprehensive Plan chapters will provide the I:\LRPLN\Council Materials\2008\2-5-08_AIS CC Hearing CPA 2007-00006.doc 1 0 City with an improved foundation on which to prepare ordinances,associated plans, development standards,programs, and intergovernmental agreements,and will be a basis to plan for future growth and development. The proposed amendment conforms to federal, state, and regional requirements. It 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 step in ensuring compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals. The goals and policies will act as the basis to provide adequate opportunities for a variety of economic activities vital to the health,welfare, and prosperity of the community and provide the opportunity for adequate housing for the needs of the community. City Council reviewed the amendment at a January 15, 2008 meeting and had a few questions and comments on the amendment language. At Council's direction, staff developed an additional recommended action measure and changes in wording for key findings for the Council to consider at the public hearing on February 5, 2008. This alternative language is outlined in the memo dated January 17, 2008 (Attachment 1). OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Approve the Planning Commission recommendation and adopt CPA2007-00006. 2. Modify the Planning Commission recommendation and adopt CPA2007-00006. 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 Economic Development and Housing (Statewide Planning Goals 9 and 10) chapters for the updated Comprehensive Plan (see Exhibit A). At a November 19, 2007 public hearing the Planning Commission recommended adoption of the proposed amendment language. City Council reviewed the proposed language at a January 15, 2008 meeting and had a few 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 February 5, 2008. This proposed language is outlined below. HOUSING Council commented that some information and data in the Key Findings needed to be updated. Staff made the following changes: • Almost thrcc quarters Approximately two-thirds of Tigard is zoned for residential land uses (68.6%). • There are 49-5 546 Tigard households with 1322 people on the Washington County housing unified waiting list for Section 8 and Public Housing Programs. representing 1250 people, almost half of which arc under 18. Fifty-four percent of these households have children under the age of 18. A Eighty-seven percent of these households make 30% or less of the 2003 annual median Washington County household income ($16,200 or less). • Metro included a voluntary production goal for Tigard of 319 affordable housing units for the period 2001-2006. The City declined to adopt this goal. At a previous Council meeting, there was a request that the term "ensure" be replaced with "require,"in most cases. Staff edited Goal 6 to reflect this. 6. The City shall allow accessory dwelling units in appropriate residential districts, but shall ewe require they are compatible and blend into the overall residential environment. Council commented that properties that are outside of Tigard's border, but directly adjacent to it, sometimes have code enforcement issues. Council requested that a recommended action measure be included to address this. Staff proposes the following recommended action measure: xvi. Develop partnerships with neighboring jurisdictions on multi-jurisdictional code enforcement issues.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Council is requested to receive a briefing on the Planning Commission's recommendation to adopt the Economic Development and Housing Comprehensive Plan goals,policies,and recommended action measures,and identify any additional material or information to assist in making its decision at a public hearing scheduled for February 5,2008. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The proposed 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 data, inventories, and community conditions included in the Tigard 2007 resource document. Additionally, staff considered relevant findings from past citizen surveys and the Tigard visioning project. Council has stressed the importance of citizen input in the update of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff has carried this out by holding several Policy Interest Teams meetings. Based on the above technical information and previously expressed values and attitudes, the Policy Interest Teams and staff formulated draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures. Subsequently, the Planning Commission held a public workshop on October 15, 2007 to review this draft language. At this public workshop, the Commission made suggestions for revisions and additional language to be incorporated into the Amendment. At the November 19, 2007 public hearing, the Commission made a few additional edits and voted unanimously to recommend that Council adopt the updated chapters. The meeting minutes from the Planning Commission public hearing are attached (Attachment 3). During the development of the chapters, Department Review Teams reviewed the proposed language for technical accuracy and conformance with applicable laws and rules. The updated chapter was also sent to regional, state, and federal agencies for comment. The new chapters represent Tigard citizens' aspirations and wishes and will help ensure a high quality of life and assure the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The updated Comprehensive Plan chapters will provide the I:\LRPLN\Council Materials\2008\7-tS08_AIS CC Workshop CPA 2007-00006.doc 1 • City with an improved foundation on which to prepare ordinances, associated plans, development standards,programs, and intergovernmental agreements,and will be a basis to plan for future growth and development. The proposed Amendment conforms to federal, state, and regional requirements. It 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 step in ensuring compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals. The goals and policies will act as the basis to provide adequate opportunities for a variety of economic activities vital to the health,welfare, and prosperity of the community and provide the opportunity for adequate housing for the needs of the community.

Tigard's economy is lintertwined with the economy of the region, the nation,and the world. GOAL 9: Economic Development -" " _ _ "To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health,welfare,and prosperity of Oregon's citizens." M Tigard's location at the crossroads of several transportation routes has proven to be a major advantage. Other advantages include the relatively high educational attainment level of its citizens and its proximity to the high technology centers in Washington County and major educational institutions such as Portland State University and Portland Community College. A recent study found that Tigard was a"hub for innovation" for a city its size, due to the comparatively high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business. Tigard residents envision a future economy that builds on these strengths. Tigard shall have a strong and resilient local economy with a diverse portfolio of economic activity: retail,professional service, and industrial jobs.The local economy shall provide for goods and services for local resident and business needs but also have the goal of expanding the "traded sector."This sector sells goods and services outside the region to the broader state, national,and inter- national markets and/or produces goods and services that normally would have to be imported to the community. These businesses bring income into the community or region and keep local income from going elsewhere. Tigard's future economy may include activities whose characteristics are not foreseeable at this time such as live-work arrangements;light manufacturing combined with research and development; creative crafts and arts such as film, advertising,communications, etc. Therefore,the City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities. Tigard is sometimes perceived as a bedroom community for nearby cities.This is not accurate. Tigard businesses provide 38,628 full and part time jobs in 2005 (State of Oregon Employment Department). This number is greater than the number of Tigard residents over the age of 16 in the workforce: 25,537 (O.E.D, 2006). Seventy percent of Tigard residents work outside the City, so thousands of workers from throughout the region are regularly commuting to Tigard jobs Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 9-1 • • pws ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (2000 Census). The City shall seek to expand the opportunities for residents to work closer to where they live. This will require promoting a mix of high quality housing opportunities for households with varying incomes. Quality of life factors shall be promoted to attract economic investments and a skilled work force. Among these factors are: an attractive and well-main- tained community; high levels of public safety;accessible and responsive local government; availability of a variety of housing;good public schools;access to nature; high quality parks;leisure and recreation activities; safe and convenient, multi-modal, transportation opportunities;and smoothly running essential infrastructure. State and Regional Policies: The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and Metro have developed policies that address economic opportunities,which are based on Statewide Planning Goal 9. A major emphasis of the Goal 9 policies is to preserve and protect land for industrial and employment uses. Metro has sought to implement this on a regional basis. Title 4 of the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan identifies Industrial and Other Employment Areas that are important to the region. Tigard has little available vacant land suitable for new large-scale industrial devel- opment. The City is severely limited in its ability to expand its boundaries, so the only way to designate new industrial land would be to re-zone existing land. This is unlikely to happen at a large scale.Alternately, the City could encourage industrial-type uses that are not as land intensive. Tigard can ensure a strong economy with these desired characteristics by working on a formal economic development program. In the near term the Downtown Urban Renewal District has the potential to redevelop and attract additional employment and economic activity. KEY FINDINGS: • Tigard is home to a wide range of economic activity. • Tigard does not have a formal city-wide economic development strategy. 9-2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • • MI ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • Tigard's location at the crossroads of important transportation corridors I-5, Hwy 217,and Hwy 99W is a major advantage in attracting economic activity. • Approximately 31% of Tigard's land area is zoned for commercial, industrial,and mixed use purposes. These properties represent about 31% of the total assessed property value. • The major commercial and mixed-use areas of the City are Washington Square,Tigard "The major Triangle,Downtown Tigard, and the Hwy . 99W corridor.

Tigard will have to amend its code to limit the development of retail and service uses for some I-P zone properties. Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 9-3 • ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • There has been no large-scale encroachment of retail/office uses in industrial areas in Tigard. • In 1997 Metro assigned Tigard a capacity of 17,801 new jobs by the year 2017. Between 1997 and 2004,Tigard added approximately 3,800 jobs. • Tigard's supply of industrially zoned land will likely be inadequate to meet the forecasted 2024 job demand in this area. It appears that there is an adequate supply of commercial land. • Tigard has little vacant industrial land available to attract new large scale industrial development. • A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation." A study of patents and communities by the research firm iPiQ found that in 2005, Tigard had a high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business (29). The study attributed this to Tigard's lower rents and taxes attracting professionals from Portland and Beaverton. GOAL: 9.1 Develop and maintain a strong, diversified, and sustainable local economy.

ISM, HOUSING en it comes to housing, one size does not fit all. Each person seeking a new place to call home must find a suitable match between price,location, housing type, and lifestyle,which can be a daunting task. In Oregon, the state planning goals aim to broaden the available selection. Each jurisdiction,including Tigard, must provide the opportunity for different "sizes" of housing to fit residents'varied needs, considering available land,price ranges,rent levels and housing type. GOAL I Housing "To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state." Some of the factors that local governments can influence are the supply of available residential land; the availability of public services; development regula- tions (density and design), and support for low and moderate income housing. In the Portland metropolitan region,only land included in the Metro Urban Growth Boundary (UGB),an invisible line that separates rural areas from suburban, can be developed at residential densities requiring urban services. At the local level, each state and regional jurisdiction must inventory its buildable land,which is defined as vacant and re-develop- able land suitable for residential use to determine e o p housing capacity. Tigard maintains a buildable hen � lands inventory (BLI) that tracks available resi- - co me J g dential land. Two state and Metro requirements help determine housing capacities on buildable .ingeffla. land within the Portland Metropolitan Area—the state Metropolitan Housing Rule and Title 1 of size does &oo f Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional A allow Plan(Functional Plan). Both focus on increasing jurisdictions'housing capacity in order to use land _ within the UGB efficiently. The Metropolitan Housing Rule (OAR 660-007/Division 7) established regional residential density and mix standards for communities within the Metro UGB. It set minimum residential density standards for new construction by jurisdiction. Tigard must provide for an overall density opportunity of 10 or more dwelling units per net buildable acre, as well as designate sufficient buildable land to provide the opportunity for at least 50% of new residential units to be attached housing (either single-family or multiple-family.) Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 10-1 • r f11 HOUSING Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Metro implements Goal 10 through Title 1. To meet Title 1, each jurisdiction was required to determine its housing capacity and adopt minimum density requirements. Tigard adopted an 80% of minimum density requirement for development in 1998,which means that a development must build 80% of the maximum units allowed by the zoning designation.The City has a committed to providing the development opportunity for an additional 6,308 dwelling units between 1998—2017. This number shows Tigard's zoned capacity for additional dwelling ",The:C§gy units. It is an estimate based on the minimum number of dwelling units allowed in each residen- Off T: §Egg e tial zoning district, assuming minimum density f _, requirements. a1 f'� o O-oa , The City of Tigard maintains an up-to-date build- able lands inventory,a permit tracking system Ntig dable... ., , for development, as well as complying with . Metro's Functional Plan. The City is responsible la dS `: for monitoring residential development. All of Bove or o' 4' these tools aid the City in monitoring its progress toward the above goals, and determining if the opportunity remains for current and future resi- dents to have diverse housing choices. Tigard's Geographic Limits to Growth In the last several years,Washington County has urbanized significant areas of unincorporated land to the south and west of Tigard. It and service districts provide the minimum required facilities and services. The county's actions combined with state annexation law make it is improbable that most of these developed lands will annex to Tigard. Urbanized unincorporated land forms a barrier between Tigard and unincorporated urban growth areas designated by Metro. Thus Tigard is unlikely to expand its City boundaries in the future. The lack of vacant residential land will require Tigard to meet its housing capacity commitment within its current,mostly built-out, City limits. This will require actions to increase residential density within the appropriate areas such as along major transportation corridors, and within designated Regional and Town Centers. Thus,much new residential development will occur through urban infill and redevelopment. 10-2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan S • HOUSING Affordable Housing/ Special Needs Housing Metro also addresses affordable housing in Title 7 of its Functional Plan. Title 7 includes voluntary affordable housing production goals and other afford- able housing strategies. Tigard has undertaken a variety of voluntary actions to support and enhance opportunities for affordable housing,including offset- ting City fees and charges for affordable housing,and a tax exemption for low income housing developed by nonprofits.Among the organizations involved in low income housing, special needs housing, and emergency housing, are Community Partners for Affordable Housing,Tualatin Valley Housing Partners,Luke-Dorf, and the Good Neighbor Center. Tigard is also part of the Washington County Housing Consortium that utilizes home and CDBG funds to provide housing opportunities. KEY FINDINGS: • • Almost three-quarters of Tigard is zoned for residential land uses (68.6%). • There are 19,468 single-family and multi-family housing units in Tigard,with an additional 55 mobile homes and 14 manufactured homes. 63.5% of the total units are single-family and 36.5 % are multi-family. qty-one • Eighty-one percent of housing units were built after 1970. o r eng of • Most new housing built since 1994 has been ikon* vat& single-family attached or detached (82%). ��yy., ��77 were (Q/�l!Il? • The majority of Tigard residents own their homes (58%),with 41% paying rent (2000 U'fte Census). • Over the last five years,Portland region housing prices have rapidly escalated. In Tigard, the 2005 median house price was $269,900,up 18% from 2004,and 46% from 2000. • The 1999 median household income for Washington County was $52,122. For Tigard the median household income was $51,581. • In the Portland metropolitan area in 2005, the ratio of house prices to wages was 6.8. ($41,623 median wage vs. $282,900 median house value.) This compares to an average ratio of 5.5 for the United States as a whole. Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 10-3 • 0 HOUSING • In a fall 2004 survey, apartment rents averaged $705 a month,which would be affordable for households making$28,200 or more annually, almost half of the median income. The 93% occupancy rate was lower than the optimal rate (95%), showing weaker demand;however,recent housing price increases could reverse this trend. • • In 2006,Tigard had approximately 7,115 rental units. ° does `= • There are 495 Tigard households on the �f��: : . Washington County housing waiting list, 980ff COfSL t} L representing 1250 people, almost half of �'' which are under 18. Eighty-seven percent otrda of these households make 30% or less of .- w the 2003 annual median Washington County household income ($16,200 or less). 2ACI°TR • Metro included a voluntary production goal gY1C0 ek' ` :w:"e' for Tigard of 319 affordable housing units for the period 2001-2006. The City declined to b 0O 108°99 adopt this goal. • Tigard itself does not construct affordable low to moderate income housing. Most of this housing in Washington County is constructed by non-profits using state and federal subsidies. • A large portion of the 2005 BLI is zoned low density (54%is R-3.5 or R- 4.5) or medium density (26%is R-7). No land zoned R-40 remains on the inventory. The majority of available lots are one acre or less in size. • Between 1994 and 2006, 3,380 housing units have been built in the City. This is 54% of its Title 1 zoned capacity number of 6,308 units (Metro Title 1; based on 1996 boundaries). • Based on this data,if the City developed its remaining residential buildable lands, an additional 2,879 to 3,456 units could be built. • Since 1994 the overall density of residential construction Citywide has been 6.8 dwelling units per acre. It is expected that more attached residential units will be constructed through redevelopment and infill as remaining single- family residential land is developed. 10_4 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan • • HOUSING • Areas such as Washington Square,Downtown Tigard, and the Tigard Triangle allow for higher density residential projects,but few high-density attached units have been built due to market conditions.

The proposed language was approved and recommended by the Planning Commission at the November 19`h 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 February 5`h public hearing. Staff has worked closely with the Policy Interest Teams and citizen stakeholders on developing suitable language for the Comprehensive Plan update. With the Policy Interest Team's approval, staff added to and expanded upon the language to be consistent with Statewide Planning Goals. Whether or not to amend citizen recommendations is the role of the Planning Commission to recommend and the City Council to decide upon. At the workshop and public hearing the Planning Commission suggested additional language and revisions for the updated chapters. These requested changes are found below, with additions indicated by underline and bold and deletions indicated by stke-thretigh. Economic Development Goal 9.1 In response to a citizen's concern stated at the public hearing, Policy 3 was edited. Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006 Memo to Council 1 - December 7,2007 • • 3. The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities with assurance of planned or existing infrastructure. The Planning Commission requested that the recommended action measure on industry clusters be moved up to a policy. Policy 11 reflects this. 11. The City shall develop industry clusters by encouraging the retention, expansion and recruitment of industries that already have a presence in Tigard. The Planning Commission requested that a policy be added to indicate the need for economic development to be balanced with other community concerns. Policy 12 was created to reflect this. 12. The City shall assure economic development promotes other community qualities, such as livability and environmental quality that are necessary for a sustainable economic future. The Planning Commission suggested that an action measure address the potential need for an Economic Development Director position for the City. Action Measure i was revised to reflect this. i. Develop a formal City of Tigard economic development program and strategy to implement the community's economic development goals and policies and consider the creation of an economic development director position to develop and implement the program. The Planning Commission asked for more integration between residential, retail, and commercial uses. Action Measure xii was added. xii. Increase opportunities for higher density housing and employment development in the Downtown Urban Renewal District,Washington Square Regional Center, Tigard Triangle, and designated Corridors to enable more intense housing and employment uses to be located in close proximity to transit and other urban uses. The Planning Commission asked for additional emphasis to be placed on supporting existing businesses that have the potential to develop into clusters. Action Measure xiii was added to address this. xiii. Prioritize support for businesses identified as being able to develop into regional industry clusters. Action Measure xiv was added in response to the Planning Commission request for developing a Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006 Memo to Council 2 December 7,2007 • • branding and marketing effort for Tigard. xiv. Improve media contacts and develop a branding / marketing effort to promote Tigard as a place to live and do business. Goal 9.2 The Planning Commission recommended that the language of Policy 1 be clarified. 1. The City shall institute provide appropriately land use - - - - : - ;- - - : - - :: - - regulations to accommodate a contemporary mix of economic activities. The Planning Commission recommended that the policies and action measures for Goal 9.2 be extensively expanded upon. Policy 3 and Action Measures i through vi were added in response. 3. The City shall engage with state and regional economical development organizations and agencies to sustain and expand its current economic activities and be prepared for future economic trends. i. Develop a strategy to increase the number of knowledge based and traded sector jobs that pay higher than national average wages..in Tigard. ii. Investigate ways to support local innovative businesses and economic activities, as evidenced by the relatively high number of patents granted to individuals and small business in Tigard. iii. Investigate the potential for a business incubator or innovation center that fosters the start-up of new innovative businesses and connects regional economic partners, businesses, higher education and venture capitalists. iv. Improve connections with major universities to promote research connections, and access to innovative business practices. v. Promote Downtown Tigard as a place for innovative and emerging business to expand or relocate. vi. Encourage programs that promote sustainable business practices (e.g., recycling, green building or other sustainable design features, the use of green or alternative energy, commute trip reduction programs). Goal 9.3 The Planning Commission suggested that Policy 1 also make reference to the Tigard Triangle. The policy was updated. 1. The City shall focus a significant portion of future employment growth and high-density housing development in its Metro-designated Town Center (Downtown); Regional Center Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006 Memo to Council 3 December 7,2007 • • (Washington Square); and High Capacity Transit Corridor (Hwy 99W); and the Tigard Triangle. Action Measure v was revised in response to the Planning Commission's suggestion. v. Investigate ways to improve the appearance and function of Hwy 99W and other transportation corridors. The Planning Commission felt that the City should not be involved in creating a wireless internet system,but should monitor emerging technologies to assure competitively priced access. Action Measure xv was modified to reflect this. xv. Monitor emerging wireless and high-speed internet technologies to ensure competitively priced access for Tigard residents and businesses. Action Measure xvi was added to reinforce the desire to balance economic development activities with other community goals. xvi. Recognize and promote community events as having potential for positive economic impacts and as important for community identity. Housing Goal 10.2 The Planning Commission recommended that any future community design standards be applied to multi-family housing development, rather than all housing. Policy 6 has been changed to reflect this. 6. The City shall promote innovative and well-designed housing development through application of planned developments and community design standards for multi-family housing. The Planning Commission recommended that infill development be designed to address, rather than exhibit compatibility with existing neighborhoods. Policy 9 has been changed to reflect this. 9. The City shall require infill development to be designed to address exhibit compatibility with existing neighborhoods. The Planning Commission suggested changing the language of Policy 10 to make it clear it was addressing home-based businesses. This has been changed. 10. The City shall regulate home-based businesses (occupations) to prevent adverse Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006 Memo to Council 4 December 7,2007 • • impacts on residential areas. The Department of Land Conservation and Development reviewed the proposed Comprehensive Plan language and recommended two changes to conform to state law. Under Goal 10.1 Recommended Action Measure xii, has been edited to include voluntary inclusionary zoning as suggested by DLCD. xii. Increase Tigard's diversity of housing types through financial incentives and regulatory tools such as density transfer and planned development standards; transit, and vertical oriented housing tax credits;voluntary inclusionary zoning, etc. Under Goal 10.2 Recommended Action Measure xv has been added to address the need for clear and objective standards for needed housing. xv. Adopt clear and objective approval standards, criteria, conditions, and review processes for needed housing per state requirements. By adopting the language in the amendment, the City will take a step towards articulating the community's aspirations for economic development and housing. The economic development goals and policies will provide the basis to diversify Tigard's economy by building on its strengths and accommodating future economic trends. The housing goals will provide the basis to maintain a high level of residential livability and provide opportunities for a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of current and future residents. 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. Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006 Memo to Council 5 December 7,2007 • • 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.

PUBLIC HEARING 5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2007-00006 Tigard Comprehensive Plan Update of Statewide Planning Goal 9: Economic Development and Goal 10: Housing REQUEST: Amendments to the current Comprehensive Plan Topic 5: Economy and Topic 6: Housing 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 zones. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Chapters 18.380 and 18.390, Comprehensive Plan Policies 1, 2,5 and 6;Metro Functional Plan • Title 1,4, 6, 7 and 12; and Statewide Planning Goals 1, 2, 9 and 10. STAFF REPORT Associate Planner, Sean Farrelly, presented the staff report on behalf of the City. He noted that Staff has found the language included in the amendment (as detailed in Exhibit A) 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 proposed amendment was developed through a review process with several hours of community input at Policy Interest Team meetings.The citizens used the technical information included in the Tigard 2007 Resource Report and the issues and values gathered from past surveys • and visioning work to develop draft goals,policies,and recommended action measures to forward to the Commission. Planning Commissioners reviewed this draft language at an October 15`x'workshop and suggested several revisions. These changes (found at the beginning of the staff report) included: Economic Development Goal 9.1 Policy 11 was upgraded from an Action Measure to stress the importance of economic clusters. Policy 12 was added to address the principle that economic development should be balanced with other community concerns. Action Measure i was revised to address the potential need for an Economic Development Director position for the City. Action Measure xii was added in response to a request for more integration between residential, retail, and commercial uses. Action Measure xiii was added for additional emphasis on supporting existing businesses that have the potential to develop into clusters. Action Measure xiv was added as a result of the Planning Commission's suggestion for developing a • PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2007—Page 2 • • • • branding and marketing effort for Tigard. Goal 9.2 The Planning Commission recommended that the policies and action measures for this goal be expanded upon. Policy 3 and Action Measures i through vi were added in response. • Goal 9.3 Policy 1 added a reference to the Tigard Triangle as a place for higher density employment and residential growth. Action Measure v was revised to include other transportation corridors besides Highway 99. Action Measure xv was modified to reflect the Planning Commission's feeling that the City should not be involved in creating a wireless internet system,but should monitor emerging technologies to assure competitively priced access. Staff added Action Measure xvi to reinforce the desire to balance economic development activities with other community goals. Housing Goal 10.2 Policy 6 was changed in response to the recommendation that any future community design standards be applied to multi-family housing development,rather than all housing. Policy 9 was revised to state that infill development should be designed to address compatibility, rather than exhibit compatibility,with existing neighborhoods. Policy 10 was changed to make it clear it was referring to home based businesses rather than home based occupations. A couple of definitions were added in response to Commissioners suggestions (although these will be adopted in a separate definitions chapter at a later date.) A number of agencies/jurisdictions were given the chance to comment on the amendment. Only DLCD and Clean Water Services responded,and their comments and staff's reply are found at the end of the staff report. In response to DLCD's comments,Action Measure xii,under Goal 10.1 was changed to state that inclusionary zoning should be voluntary and under Goal 10.2,Action Measure xv,was added to conform with state law on clear and objective standards for the development review process. • The updated goals, policies, and recommended action measures will provide Tigard a more solid foundation on which to prepare ordinances, associated plans, development standards, programs, and intergovernmental agreements. Specifically it will provide the tools needed to build on and improve Tigard's economic health and livability. Staff's recommendation is to approve the language found in Exhibit A and forward it to the City Council for their review. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2007—Page 3 • • ' At this point, President Inman asked the commissioners if they had any questions or comments — some of which follow: • 'Where are the definitions in our packet?" Towards the end—Exhibit D • 'What are `other transportation corridors'in Tigard—where are they?" Typically they're high capacity roads and would be good places to potentially put higher density housing, more employment, more retail, because on these roads typically there is transit (buses) on them. • "On Housing 10.2.vi —regarding policy 6 which denotes "multi-family housing" — why did we delineate `multi-family' housing?" Other than single-family housing? 1 don't believe many communities typically have design standards for single family housing—that's usually exempted. • Commissioner Walsh commented that he believes, for consistency and clarity, that the language of Goal 9.1.xi should be changed from "economic clusters" to "industry clusters." PUBLIC TESTIMONY • President Inman opened up the meeting to public testimony and reminded those present that there is a 3-minute time allotment and asked that people be as concise as possible. John Frewing, 7110 Lola Lane, Tigard 97223, had signed in as speaking both in favor of, and in opposition to, the amendment: He noted that in the prior package there were citations from the "Tigard for Tomorrow" values surveys that had been done over the years. He commented that the staff report said that this material was developed from that but in those lists of values there is nothing that referred to economic development. He commented that he believes the wording in some of the material is "overly enthusiastic" and in fact seems to trump the wording of other goals, policies, and action measures in the Comp Plan. He believes there should be roughly comparable wording across all the sections of the Comp Plan. For example, regarding Goal 9.1.iii he read verbatim, `The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities.' He said he would like that to be more even handed in its wording. At this point, Mr. Frewing noticed his 3-minute time limit was up, so he said he would then speak in opposition to this particular item: He said he would add "consistent with protection of natural resources and contemporary development of adequate infrastructure." Therefore, he believes Goal 9.1.iii should read: "The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible so as to allow contemporary achievement of all Tigard goals when new business is sited in the City." He also commented that Policy 5 says "the City shall promote well designed and efficient development and redevelopment of vacant and underutilized etc..." the word "shall" —is that a budgetary commitment? As for "efficient development"—Mr. Frewing said he always asks the question "Efficient for whom?" There should not be code words. He believes the phrase `efficient development' should be clarified. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2007—Page 4 • • [Commissioner Muldoon joined the meeting at 7:26pm.] Frewing commented that under Goal 10.1.i—the Recommended Action Measure i calls for regular update of Tigard's Buildable Land Inventory. He commented that the BLI definition should be modified to include all the lots in the City that might be subdivided for additional housing density. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED Regarding regulatory practices, Ron Bunch proposed alternative language: He suggested the language read "The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities with assurance of planned or existing infrastructure." In summary,President Inman said Commissioner Walsh had indicated a change to Goal 9.1.xi for clarity and consistency for economic to industry clusters. In addition—Ron Bunch had proposed the above language change regarding regulatory practices. The following motion by Commissioner Walsh was seconded by Commissioner Caffall: "I move for recommendation of approval to the City Council for application of CPA2007-00006 Tigard Comprehensive Plan update,Statewide Planning Goal 9, Economic Development, and Goal 10, Housing—and adoption of the changes cited in Goal 9.1.1 and Goal 9.1.xi, as suggested, and the findings of the staff report and testimony received." The motion carried as follows: AYES: Caffall,Doherty, Hasman,Inman, Muldoon,Walsh NAYS: None ABSTENTIONS: None • EXCUSED: Anderson, Fishel,Vermilyea 6. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE WORKSHOP— CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT Assistant Planner, Marissa Daniels, spoke to the Commission about the Citizen Involvement Chapter,which is based on,among other things, the key findings of the draft chapter. She said the Citizen Involvement chapter is different from others in that citizen involvement is not included in the Tigard 2007 Resource document. She reported that Goal 1 was not addressed in that document and instead, the resource information and key findings were contained in the draft chapter. The Citizen Involvement Chapter is also based on the community issues and values,which were identified by citywide surveys and in the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow visioning process. It is also based on the current Comprehensive Plan-policies, as well as on the work of the Policy Interest Team and Department Review Team. Daniels pointed out that the PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2007—Page 5 • • policy language presented in the draft Citizen Involvement Chapter is a direct result of the language written at Policy Interest Team meetings. There was a question as to how the City recruits people. Daniels replied that it is up to whoever the staff liaison is for whichever committee is in need of people. She noted that, for example, the Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) recently added 5 new at-large membership slots. She noted that Duane Roberts (Staff) has been very actively recruiting people and that there definitely is an outreach program in place to get people involved. She also noted that Commissioner Rex Caffall participated as a member of the Policy Interest Team for Citizen Involvement. The question was asked regarding the meaning of Goal 1.1.iv,which states "The City shall provide staff and financial support to the Committee for Citizen Involvement and any other appropriate board or committee." Daniels replied that the word "appropriate" should instead read "appointed." The correction was noted by the commissioners. At this point, President Inman asked if there was anyone else present who would like to speak. Daniels introduced Basil Christopher, chair of the CCI. Christopher gave a brief overview of the work of the CCI. He spoke about the Neighborhood Planning Program. 7. OTHER BUSINESS There was no other business. 8.

PUBLIC HEARING 5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2007-00006 Tigard Comprehensive Plan Update of Statewide Planning Goal 9: Economic Development and Goal 10: Housing REQUEST: Amendments to the current Comprehensive Plan Topic 5: Economy and Topic 6: Housing 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 zones. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Chapters 18.380 and 18.390, Comprehensive Plan Policies 1, 2,5 and 6; Metro Functional Plan Title 1, 4, 6, 7 and 12; and Statewide Planning Goals 1,2, 9 and 10. STAFF REPORT Associate Planner, Sean Farrelly, presented the staff report on behalf of the City. He noted that Staff has found the language included in the amendment (as detailed in Exhibit A) 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 proposed amendment was developed through a review process with several hours of community input at Policy Interest Team meetings. The citizens used the technical information included in the Tigard 2007 Resource Report and the issues and values gathered from past surveys and visioning work to develop draft goals,policies, and recommended action measures to forward to the Commission. Planning Commissioners reviewed this draft language at an October 15`''workshop and suggested several revisions. These changes (found at the beginning of the staff report)included: Economic Development Goal 9.1 Policy 11 was upgraded from an Action Measure to stress the importance of economic clusters. Policy 12 was added to address the principle that economic development should be balanced with other community concerns. Action Measure i was revised to address the potential need for an Economic Development Director position for the City. Action Measure xii was added in response to a request for more integration between residential, retail, and commercial uses. Action Measure xiii was added for additional emphasis on supporting existing businesses that have the potential to develop into clusters. Action Measure xiv was added as a result of the Planning Commission's suggestion for developing a • PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2007—Page 2 • • branding and marketing effort for Tigard. Goal 9.2 The Planning Commission recommended that the policies and action measures for this goal be expanded upon. Policy 3 and Action Measures i through vi were added in response. Goal 9.3 Policy 1 added a reference to the Tigard Triangle as a place for higher density employment and residential growth. Action Measure v was revised to include other transportation corridors besides Highway 99. Action Measure xv was modified to reflect the Planning Commission's feeling that the City should not be involved in creating a wireless internet system, but should monitor emerging technologies to assure competitively priced access. Staff added Action Measure xvi to reinforce the desire to balance economic development activities with other community goals. Housing Goal 10.2 Policy 6 was changed in response to the recommendation that any future community design standards be applied to multi-family housing development,rather than all housing. Policy 9 was revised to state that infill development should be designed to address compatibility, rather than exhibit compatibility,with existing neighborhoods. Policy 10 was changed to make it clear it was referring to home based businesses rather than home based occupations. A couple of definitions were added in response to Commissioners suggestions (although these will be adopted in a separate definitions chapter at a later date.) A number of agencies/jurisdictions were given the chance to comment on the amendment. Only DLCD and Clean Water Services responded,and their comments and staff's reply are found at the end of the staff report. In response to DLCD's comments,Action Measure xii,under Goal 10.1 was changed to state that inclusionary zoning should be voluntary and under Goal 10.2,Action Measure xv,was added to conform with state law on clear and objective standards for the development review process. The updated goals, policies, and recommended action measures will provide Tigard a more solid foundation on which to prepare ordinances, associated plans, development standards, programs, and intergovernmental agreements. Specifically it will provide the tools needed to build on and improve Tigard's economic health and livability. Staff's recommendation is to approve the language found in Exhibit A and forward it to the City Council for their review. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—November 19,2007—Page 3 • At this point, President Inman asked the commissioners if they had any questions or comments — some of which follow: • "Where are the definitions in our packet?" Towards the end—Exhibit D • 'What are `other transportation corridors' in Tigard—where are they?" Typically they're high capacity roads and would be good places to potentially put higher density housing, more employment, more retail, because on these roads typically there is transit(buses) on them. • "On Housing 10.2.vi—regarding policy 6 which denotes "multi-family housing" — why did we delineate `multi-family' housing?" Other than single family housing? I don't believe many communities typically have design standards for single family housing—that's usually exempted. • Commissioner Walsh commented that he believes, for consistency and clarity, that the language of Goal 9.1.xi should be changed from "economic clusters" to "industry clusters." PUBLIC TESTIMONY President Inman opened up the meeting to public testimony and reminded those present that there is a 3-minute time allotment and asked that people be as concise as possible. John Frewing, 7110 Lola Lane, Tigard 97223, had signed in as speaking both in favor of and in opposition to, the amendment: He noted that in the prior package there were citations from the "Tigard for Tomorrow" values surveys that had been done over the years. He commented that the staff report said that this material was developed from that but in those lists of values there is nothing that referred to economic development. He commented that he believes the wording in some of the material is "overly enthusiastic" and in fact seems to trump the wording of other goals, policies, and action measures in the Comp Plan. He believes there should be roughly comparable wording across all the sections of the Comp Plan. For example, regarding Goal 9.1.iii he read verbatim, `The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities.' He said he would like that to be more even handed in its wording. At this point, Mr. Frewing noticed his 3-minute time limit was up, so he said he would then speak in opposition to this particular item: He said he would add "consistent with protection of natural resources and contemporary development of adequate infrastructure." Therefore, he believes Goal 9.1.iii should read: "The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible so as to allow contemporary achievement of all Tigard goals when new business is sited in the City." He also commented that Policy 5 says "the City shall promote well designed and efficient development and redevelopment of vacant and underutilized etc..." the word "shall" —is that a budgetary commitment?As for "efficient development" —Mr. Frewing said he always asks the question "Efficient for whom?" There should not be code words. He believes the phrase `efficient development' should be clarified.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 1 OF 18 • • SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History 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 chapters before the Planning Commission tonight are Economic Development (Goal 9), and Housing (Goal 10). The Planning Commission held a workshop on October 15, 2007 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 strikeouts and added text bold and underlined): Economic Development Goal 9.1 The Planning Commission requested that the recommended action measure on economic clusters be made a policy. Policy 11 was created to reflect this. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWI)I PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 2 OF 18 • 11. The City shall develop economic clusters by encouraging the retention, expansion and recruitment of industries that already have a presence in Tigard. The Planning Commission requested recommended that a policy be added to indicate the need for economic development be balanced with other community concerns. Policy 12 was created to reflect this. 12. The City shall assure economic development promotes other community qualities, such as livability and environmental quality that are necessary for a sustainable economic future. The Planning Commission suggested that an action measure address the potential need for an Economic Development Director position for the City. Action Measure was revised to reflect this. i. Develop a formal City of Tigard economic development program and strategy to implement the community's economic development goals and policies and consider the creation of an economic development director position to develop and implement the program. The Planning Commission asked for more integration between residential, retail, and commercial uses. Action Measure xii was added. xii. Increase opportunities for higher density housing and employment development in the Downtown Urban Renewal District,Washington Square Regional Center, Tigard Triangle, and designated Corridors to enable more intense housing and - employment uses to be located in close proximity to transit and other urban uses. The Planning Commission asked for additional emphasis to be placed on supporting existing businesses that have the potential to develop into clusters. Action Measure xiii was added to address this. xiii. Prioritize support for businesses identified as being able to develop into regional industry clusters. Action Measure xiv was added in response to the Planning Commission request for developing a branding and marketing effort for Tigard. xiv. Improve media contacts and develop a branding / marketing effort to promote Tigard as a place to live and do business. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 3 OF 18 Goal 9.2 The Planning Commission recommended that the language of Policy 1 be clarified. 1. The City shall institute provide appropriately land use zoned lands and development regulations to accommodate a contemporary mix of economic activities. The Planning Commission recommended that the policies and action measures for Goal 9.2 be more detailed and expanded upon. Policy 3 and Action Measures i through vi were added in response. 3. The City shall engage with state and regional economical development organizations and agencies to sustain and expand its current economic activities and be prepared for future economic trends. i. Develop a strategy to increase the number of knowledge based and traded sector jobs that pay higher than national average wages. in Tigard. ii. Investigate ways to support local innovative businesses and economic activities, as evidenced by the relatively high number of patents granted to individuals and small business in Tigard. iii. Investigate the potential for a business incubator or innovation center that fosters the start-up of new innovative businesses and connects regional economic partners, businesses, higher education and venture capitalists. iv. Improve connections with major universities to promote research connections, and access to innovative business practices. v. Promote Downtown Tigard as a place for innovative and emerging business to expand or relocate. vi. Encourage programs that promote sustainable business practices (e.g. recycling, green building or other sustainable design features, the use of green or alternative energy, commute trip reduction programs). Goal 9.3 The Planning Commission suggested that Policy 1 also make reference to the Tigard Triangle. The policy was updated. 1. The City shall focus a significant portion of future employment growth and high-density housing development in its Metro-designated Town Center (Downtown);Regional Center (Washington Square); and High Capacity Transit Corridor (Hwy 99W); and the Tigard Triangle. Action Measure v was revised in response to the Planning Commission's suggestion. STAFF REPORT TO TI-II?PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 4 OF 18 • 0 S v. Investigate ways to improve the appearance and function of Hwy 99W and other transportation corridors. The Planning Commission felt that the City should not be involved in creating a wireless internet system, but should monitor emerging technologies to assure competitively priced access. Action Measure xv was modified to reflect this. xv. Monitor emerging wireless and high-speed internet technologies to ensure competitively priced access for Tigard residents and businesses. Action Measure xvi was added to reinforce the desire to balance economic development activities with other community goals. xvi. Recognize and promote community events as having potential for positive economic impacts and as important for community identity. Housing Goal 10.2 The Planning Commission recommended that any future community design standards be applied to multi-family housing development, rather than all housing.Policy 6 has been changed to reflect this. 6. The City shall promote innovative and well-designed housing development through application of planned developments and community design standards for multifamily housing. The Planning Commission recommended that infill development be designed to address, rather than exhibit compatibility with existing neighborhoods. Policy 9 has been changed to reflect this. 9. The City shall require infill development to be designed to address exhibit compatibility with existing neighborhoods. The Planning Commission suggested changing the language of Policy 10 to make it clear it was addressing home based businesses. This has been changed. 10. The City shall regulate home-based businesses (occupations) to prevent adverse impacts on residential areas. Proposal Description The primary intent of the proposed changes 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 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 5 OF 18 • update will also ensure the Comprehensive Plan reflects current community conditions and values. This amendment is the first in a series of amendments that will update the Comprehensive Plan in its entirety. This amendment will update Statewide Planning Goals 9 and 10 with goals, policies, and recommended action measures that will serve as the "legislative foundation" in regards to economic development and housing. Land use actions and amendments to the Tigard Development Code will be based on the new language included in this amendment. 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 TI-IE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 6 OF 18 SECTION IV.

Topic 8: Transportation 8.1.2 Provide a balanced transportation system, incorporating all modes of transportation. Findings: Proposed Goal 9.1 and its associated policies direct the City to maintain and improve transportation facilities to assure a strong economy. Proposed Goals 10.1 and 10.2 and their associated policies would support this policy by encouraging housing that is adjacent to transit and other services. This would enhance the likelihood of using transportation modes other than driving an automobile. Topic 11: Downtown Tigard Urban Renewal District 11.1. Facilitate the Development of an Urban Village Findings: The proposed amendment will support the development of areas where employment, housing, and commercial areas are in close proximity to each other,including the Downtown Urban Renewal District. Proposed Goals 9.3 and 10.1 will help facilitate the development of a vibrant and economically sound city core in the Downtown. STAFF REPORT TO TI-IE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 11 OF 18 9 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 1: Requirements for Housing and Employment Accommodation - Use land within the UGB efficiently by increasing its capacity to accommodate housing and employment. Each city and county in the region should consider actions to increase its capacity and to take action if necessary to accommodate its share of regional growth as specified in this title. Findings: The proposed amendment addresses the efficient use of land in several ways. Specifically, Goal 9.1, Policy 5 supports the efficient use and redevelopment of vacant and underutilized commercial and industrial lands. Policies associated with Goal 9.1 and Goal 10.1 call for increasing opportunities for higher density housing and employment development in its Regional and Town Centers, Corridors, and the Tigard Triangle which will increase Tigard's housing and employment capacity. Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 4 Industrial and Other Employment Areas- Provide and protect a supply of sites for employment by limiting the types and scale of non-industrial uses in Regionally Significant Industrial Areas (RSIAs), Industrial and Employment Areas;provide the benefits of"clustering" to those industries that operate more productively and efficiently in proximity to one another than in dispersed locations; protect the capacity and efficiency of the region's transportation system for the movement of goods and services and to encourage the location of other types of employment in Centers, Employment Areas, Corridors, Main Streets and Station Communities. Findings: Proposed Policy 6, under Goal 9.1, specifically addresses Title 4 requirements by directing the City to promote actions that result in greater,more efficient,utilization of its Metro- designated Employment and Industrial Areas to gain higher numbers of employees per acre. Economic clustering, and protecting the capacity and efficiency of the region's transportation system are also addressed in Goal 9.1 and its associated policies. Proposed Goal 9.3, Policy 1 aims to encourage employment opportunities in Centers. These Goals and Policies recognize the importance of regional coordination of economic activities. Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 6: Central City, Regional Centers, Town Centers, and Station Communities- Enhance Centers by encouraging development in these Centers that will improve the critical roles they play in the region and by discouraging development outside Centers that will detract from those roles. Findings: Proposed Goals 9.3 and 10.1 and their associated policies (see Exhibit A) acknowledges the critical role that Tigard's Regional and Town Centers in assuring opportunities for higher housing and employment densities.

Findings: Proposed Goal 10.1 (see Exhibit A) addresses the provision of opportunities for a variety of housing types.The associated policies and action measures contain strategies to support and enhance opportunities for affordable housing,including subsidizing City fees for affordable housing. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment satisfies the applicable Metro regulations. 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, a presentation to the Tigard Area Chamber of Commerce, 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 25, 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. STAFF REPORT TO THE PI.,ANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 13 OF 18 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 9:Economic Development To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health,welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. Findings: The proposed amendment is consistent with Goal 9, as the changes direct the City to provide opportunities for a variety of economic activities that will benefit Tigard residents and businesses, and the regional economy. This policy direction expands and enhances Tigard's current economic related policies. Proposed Goal 9.1 and its associated policies (see Exhibit A),provide clear direction for the City to develop and maintain a diversified and sustainable local economy which will benefit residents and businesses. Proposed Goal 9.2 and its associated policies, seeks to make Tigard a center and incubator for innovative businesses and other industries that can adapt to and anticipate future trends. Proposed Goal 9.3 and its associated policies aim to improve Tigard's quality of life factors that can attract economic investments and a skilled workforce. All of these goals and policies have the ability to diversify Tigard's economy by building on its strengths and accommodating future economic trends. Current Comprehensive Plan Policies relating to Statewide Planning Goal 9 will be deleted and replaced in their entirety by proposed amendment Goals 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3 and their associated Policies. 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 9 as the new goals and policies reflect current community conditions and values. The new goals and policies have been developed through an intensive citizen involvement effort, reviewed by City staff, reviewed by affected agencies, and reviewed by the Planning Commission at the October 15, 2007 workshop. The Department of Land Conservation and Development, who administers the Statewide Planning Program, was given the opportunity to review the proposed changes. Their comments can be found in Exhibit B. Statewide Planning Goal10:Housing To provide adequate housing for the needs of the community, region and state. Findings: The proposed amendment is consistent with Goal 10 by directing the City to maintain policies that provide adequate housing for the needs of the community. The proposed goals and policies build on housing policies already in place in the community. Proposed Goal 10.1 and its associated policies directs the City to provide opportunities for a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of current and STAFF REPORT TO'1 HE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STA'1'IWIDE PLANNING GOALS S 9 and 10.

Proposed Goal 10.2 calls for the City to maintain a high level of residential livability. The associated policies set out a variety of ways to achieve this. Current Comprehensive Plan Policies relating to Statewide Planning Goal 10 will be deleted and replaced in their entirety by proposed amendment Goals 10.1, and 10.2 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 10 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, including DLCD, and reviewed by the Planning Commission at the October 15, 2007 workshop. Statewide Planning Goal 12: Transportation To provide a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Findings: The proposed Amendment is consistent with this goal as it provides policy direction to diversify the City's transportation system by promoting land use policies and sustainable development patterns that will encourage the use of alternative forms of transportation (biking, walking, public transit). These proposed Policies would improve the safety, efficiency and economy of the transportation system in the City and expand access to transportation options that could improve air quality and conserve energy. Statewide Planning Goal 13:Energy Conservation Land and uses developed on the land shall be managed and controlled so as to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy,based on sound economic principles. Findings: The proposed Amendment is consistent with Goal 13. It provides policy direction that would result in increased opportunities to live, shop, recreate, and work in environments with multi-modal transportation access. This would make alternate forms of transportation more feasible and allow residents to conserve energy by reducing their dependence on automobiles. 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 Police Department has had an opportunity to review this proposal and had no objection it. SECTION VII. OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not respond: STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 15 OF 18 • Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue Tualatin Valley Water District City of Beaverton City of Durham City of King City City of Lake Oswego City of Tualatin Metro Land Use and Planning Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1, District 2A Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1 Development Review Washington County, Department of Land Use and Transportation TriMet Transit Development The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (see Exhibit B) had an opportunity to review this proposal and offered the following comments: In the Key Findings for Housing, the City states that "A large portion of the 2005 BLI is zoned low density (54% is R- 3.5 or R-4.5) or medium density (26% is R-7). No land zoned R-40 remains on the inventory." Given that, "since 1994 the overall density of residential construction citywide has been 6.8 dwelling units per acre." The City is required to develop at an average of 10 dwelling units per acre. The City also notes that, "It is expected as remaining single-family residential land is developed that more attached units will be constructed through redevelopment and infill." And, "Areas such as Washington Square, Downtown Tigard, and the Tigard Triangle allow for higher density residential projects, but few high-density attached units have been built due to market conditions." These findings are insufficient to ensure that the City will achieve 10 dwelling units per acre." Let's discuss with our urban specialist some ways that may assist to getting the density required. Findings: The City complies with the Metropolitan Housing Rule (OAR 660, Division 7). The Housing Rule requires Portland Metropolitan Area cities to provide the opportunity for overall housing densities at a minimum of 10 units per acre and provide the opportunity for at least 50 percent of new residential units to be attached single family housing or multiple family housing. While much of the remaining residential buildable land is lower density, there is also a significant amount of land with mixed use zoning which permits higher density housing. The Buildable Lands Inventory also does not capture the potential for significant redevelopment of Tigard's Town Center- the Downtown Urban Renewal District. The City's adopted Comprehensive Chapter relating to the Urban Renewal District calls for the development of a vibrant urban village which includes a mix of uses including medium and high-density housing. It is anticipated that there will be significant higher density housing in the Downtown which will achieve the higher Citywide average density. In the Recommended Action Measures for Goal 10.1, xii the City recommends an action to "Increase Tigard's diversity of housing types through...inclusionary zoning." The Department notes that inclusionary zoning is prohibited by ORS 197.309, unless voluntary. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2007-00006 SI'ATI WIDE Pl.,ANNING GOALS 9 and 10.

Findings: Recommended Action Measure xv has been added to address the need for clear and objective standards for needed housing. xv. Adopt clear and objective approval standards, criteria, conditions, and review processes for needed housing per state requirements. Clean Water Services (see Exhibit C) had an opportunity to review this proposal and offered the following comments: We recommend following any and all 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 enhancement thereof. Findings: References to the Design and Construction Standards 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.

PAGE 18 OF 18 1 EXHIBIT A Economic Development Economic activity is the lifeblood of any community, providing jobs, creating wealth, and generating tax revenue. Tigard's economy is intertwined with the economy of the region, the nation, and the world. Tigard's location at the crossroads of several transportation routes has proven to be a major advantage. Other advantages include the relatively high educational attainment level of its citizens; and its proximity to the high technology centers in Washington County and major educational institutions such as Portland State University and Portland Community College. A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation" for a city its size due to the comparatively high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business. Tigard residents envision a future economy that builds on these strengths. Tigard shall have a strong and resilient local economy with a diverse portfolio of economic activity: retail, professional service, and industrial jobs. The local economy shall provide for goods and services for local resident and business needs but also have the goal of expanding the "traded sector." This sector sells goods and services outside the region to the broader state, national and international markets and/or produces goods and services that normally would have to be imported to the community. These businesses bring income into the community or region and keep local income from going elsewhere. Tigard's future economy may include activities whose characteristics are not foreseeable at this time such as live-work arrangements; light manufacturing combined with research and development; creative crafts and arts such as film, advertising, communications, etc. Therefore the City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities. Tigard is sometimes perceived as a bedroom community for nearby cities. This is not accurate. Tigard businesses provide 38,628 full and part time jobs in 2005 (State of Oregon Employment Department). This number is greater than the number of Tigard residents over the age of 16 in the workforce: 25,537 (O.E.D, 2006). Seventy percent of Tigard residents work outside the City, so thousands of workers from throughout the region are regularly commuting to Tigard jobs (2000 Census). The City shall seek to expand the opportunities for residents to work closer to where they live. This will require promoting a mix of high quality housing opportunities for households with varying incomes. Quality of life factors shall be promoted to attract economic investments and a skilled work force. Among these factors are an attractive and well-maintained community; high levels of public safety; accessible and responsive local government; availability of a variety of housing, good public schools; access to nature, high quality parks, leisure and recreation activities, safe and convenient multi-modal transportation opportunities, and smoothly running essential infrastructure. State and Regional Policies: The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and Metro have developed policies that address economic opportunities,which are based on Statewide Planning Goal 9. CPA 2007-00006 1 City of Tigard Economic Development Planning Commission Hearing • EXHIBIT A Goal 9: Economic Development "To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens." A major emphasis of the Goal 9 policies is to preserve and protect land for industrial and employment uses. Metro has sought to implement this on a regional basis. Title 4 of the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan identifies Industrial and Other Employment Areas that are important to the region. Tigard has little available vacant land suitable for new large-scale industrial development. The City is severely limited in its ability to expand its boundaries, so the only way to designate new industrial land would be to re-zone existing land. This is unlikely to happen at a large scale. Alternately, the City could encourage industrial-type uses that are not as land intensive. Tigard can ensure a strong economy with these desired characteristics by working on a formal economic development program. In the near term the Downtown Urban Renewal District has the potential to redevelop and attract additional employment and economic activity. Key Findings • Tigard is home to a wide range of economic activity. • Tigard does not have a formal city-wide economic development strategy. • Tigard's location at the crossroads of important transportation corridors I-5, Hwy 217, and Hwy 99W is a major advantage in attracting economic activity. • Approximately 31% of Tigard's land area is zoned for commercial, industrial, and mixed use purposes. These properties represent about 31% of the total assessed property value. • The major commercial and mixed-use areas of the City are Washington Square, Tigard Triangle, Downtown Tigard, and the Hwy 99W corridor. Industrially zoned properties are generally located along the freight rail line, in between Fanno Creek and I-5. • In 2005, Tigard public and private sectors provided 38,628 full and part time jobs. (This does not include self-employed workers.) • In 2005, 3,124 businesses paid the Tigard business tax. About half of these businesses employ four people or fewer. • In Tigard, there are more jobs than people in the workforce living within the City boundaries. Seventy percent of residents commute outside the City; therefore, Tigard is a net attractor of commuters. • In Tigard, the Wholesale Trade sector has the largest amount of sales. The Retail sector has the largest annual aggregate payroll and largest number of workers. • Financial Activities, Retail, and Construction are employment sectors with high Location Quotients (propensity to locate) in Tigard. CPA 2007-00006 2 City of Tigard Economic Development Planning Commission Hearing • • EXHIBIT A • Metro has designated approximately 1,100 acres of Industrial and Commercially zoned properties in Tigard as Title 4 Industrial and Employment Areas. Tigard will have to amend its code to limit the development of retail and service uses for some I-P zone properties. • There has been no large-scale encroachment of retail/office uses in industrial areas in Tigard. • In 1997 Metro assigned Tigard a capacity of 17,801 new jobs by the year 2017. Between 1997 and 2004,Tigard added approximately 3,800 jobs. • Tigard's supply of industrially zoned land will likely be inadequate to meet the forecasted 2024 job demand in this area. It appears that there is an adequate supply of commercial land. • Tigard has little vacant industrial land available to attract new large scale industrial development. • A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation." A study of patents and communities by the research firm iPiQ found that in 2005,Tigard had a high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business (29). The study attributed this to Tigard's lower rents and taxes attracting professionals from Portland and Beaverton. Goal 9.1 Develop and maintain a strong, diversified, and sustainable local economy.

Ord. 91 01) CPA 2007-00006 14 City of Tigard Economic Development Planning Commission Hearing • • EXHIBIT A Housing When it comes to housing, one size does not fit all. Each person seeking a new place to call home must find a suitable match between price, location, housing type and lifestyle,which can be a daunting task. In Oregon, the state planning goals aim to broaden the available selection: Each jurisdiction, including Tigard, must provide the opportunity for different "sizes" of housing to fit residents'varied needs, considering available land, price ranges, rent levels and housing type. Goal 10: Housing: `To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state." Some of the factors that local governments can influence are the supply of available residential land; the availability of public services; development regulations (density and design), and support for low and moderate income housing. In the Portland metropolitan region, only land included in the Metro Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), an invisible line that separates rural areas from suburban, can be developed at residential densities requiring urban services. At the local level, each state and regional jurisdiction must inventory its buildable land, which is defined as vacant and re- developable land suitable for residential use, to determine housing capacity. Tigard maintains a buildable lands inventory (BLI) that tracks available residential land. Two state and Metro requirements help determine housing capacities on buildable land within the Portland Metropolitan Area - the state Metropolitan Housing Rule and Title 1 of Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan (Functional Plan). Both focus on increasing jurisdictions' housing capacity in order to use land within the UGB efficiently. The Metropolitan Housing Rule (OAR 660-007/Division 7) established regional residential density and mix standards for communities within the Metro UGB. It set minimum residential density standards for new construction by jurisdiction. Tigard must provide for an overall density opportunity of 10 or more dwelling units per net buildable acre, as well as designate sufficient buildable land to provide the opportunity for at least 50 percent of new residential units to be attached housing (either single-family or multiple-family.) Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Metro implements Goal 10 through Title 1. To meet Title 1, each jurisdiction was required CPA 2007-00006 1 City of Tigard Housing Planning Commission Hearing • • EXHIBIT A to determine its housing capacity and adopt minimum density requirements. Tigard adopted an 80% of minimum density requirement for development in 1998, which means that a development must build 80% of the maximum units allowed by the zoning designation. The City has a committed to providing the development opportunity for an 6,308 additional dwelling units between 1998—2017. This number shows Tigard's zoned capacity for additional dwelling units. It is an estimate based on the minimum number of dwelling units allowed in each residential zoning district, assuming minimum density requirements. The City of Tigard maintains an up-to-date buildable lands inventory, a permit tracking system for development, as well as complying with Metro's Functional Plan. The City is responsible for monitoring residential development. All of these tools aid the City in monitoring its progress toward the above goals, and determining if the opportunity remains for current and future residents to have diverse housing choices. Tigard's Geographic Limits to Growth In the last several years Washington County has urbanized significant areas of unincorporated land to the south and west of Tigard. It and service districts provide the minimum required facilities and services. The county's actions combined with state annexation law make it is improbable that most of these developed lands will annex to Tigard. Urbanized unincorporated land forms a barrier between Tigard and unincorporated urban growth areas designated by Metro. Thus Tigard is unlikely to expand its city boundaries in the future. The lack of vacant residential land will require Tigard to meet its housing capacity commitment within its current, mostly built-out city limits. This will require actions to increase residential density within the appropriate areas such as along major transportation corridors and within designated Regional and Town Centers. Thus much new residential development will occur through urban infill and redevelopment. Affordable Housing/ Special Needs Housing Metro also addresses affordable housing in Title 7 of its Functional Plan. Title 7 includes voluntary affordable housing production goals and other affordable housing strategies. Tigard has undertaken a variety of voluntary actions to support and enhance opportunities for affordable housing, including offsetting City fees and charges for affordable housing, and a tax exemption for low income housing developed by nonprofits. Among the organizations involved in low income housing, special needs housing, and emergency housing are CPA 2007-00006 2 City of Tigard Housing Planning Commission Hearing • EXHIBIT A Community Partners for Affordable Housing, Tualatin Valley Housing Partners, Luke-Dorf, and the Good Neighbor Center. Tigard is also part of the Washington County Housing Consortium that utilizes home and CDBG funds to provide housing opportunities. Key Findings • Almost three-quarters of Tigard is zoned for residential land uses (68.6%). • There are 19,468 single-family and multi-family housing units in Tigard,with an additional 55 mobile homes and 14 manufactured homes. 63.5% of the total units are single-family and 36.5 % are multi-family. • Eighty-one percent of housing units were built after 1970. • Most new housing built since 1994 has been single-family attached or detached (82%). • The majority of Tigard residents own their homes (58%),with 41%paying rent (2000 Census). • Over the last five years,Portland region housing prices have rapidly escalated. In Tigard, the 2005 median house price was $269,900, up 18% from 2004, and 46% from 2000. • The 1999 median household income for Washington County was $52,122. For Tigard the median household income was $51,581. • In the Portland metropolitan area in 2005, the ratio of house prices to wages was 6.8. ($41,623 median wage vs. $282,900 median house value.) This compares to an average ratio of 5.5 for the United States as a whole. • In a fall 2004 survey, apartment rents averaged $705 a month,which would be affordable for households making $28,200 or more annually, almost half of the median income. The 93% occupancy rate was lower than the optimal rate (95%), showing weaker demand; however, recent housing price increases could reverse this trend. • In 2006,Tigard had approximately 7,115 rental units. • There are 495 Tigard households on the Washington County housing waiting list, representing 1250 people, almost half of which are under 18. Eighty-seven percent of these households make 30% or less of the 2003 annual median Washington County household income ($16,200 or less). • Metro included a voluntary production goal for Tigard of 319 affordable housing units for the period 2001-2006. The City declined to adopt this goal. • Tigard itself does not construct affordable low to moderate income housing. Most of this housing in Washington County is constructed by non-profits using state and federal subsidies. • A large portion of the 2005 BLI is zoned low density (54%is R-3.5 or R-4.5) or medium density (26% is R-7). No land zoned R-40 remains on the inventory. The majority of CPA 2007-00006 3 City of Tigard Housing Planning Commission Hearing • EXHIBIT A available lots are one acre or less in size. • Between 1994-2006 3,380 housing units have been built in the City. This is 54% of its Tide 1 zoned capacity number of 6,308 units (Metro Tide 1;based on 1996 boundaries). • Based on this data, if the City developed its remaining residential buildable lands, an additional 2,879 to 3,456 units could be built. • Since 1994 the overall density of residential construction Citywide has been 6.8 dwelling units per acre. It is expected that more attached residential units will be constructed through redevelopment and infill as remaining single-family residential land is developed. • Areas such as Washington Square, Downtown Tigard, and the Tigard Triangle allow for higher density residential projects but few high-density attached units have been built due to market conditions. Goal 10.1 Provide opportunities for a variety of housing types to meet the diverse housing needs of current and future City residents. Policies 1. The City shall adopt and maintain land use policies,codes, and standards that provide opportunities to develop a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of Tigard's present and future residents. 2.

This is a follow up of the telephone conversation with you and Becky Steckler from our staff. She has been pitching in for me as 1 transition from the S. Willamette Valley to the Portland office_ Please treat this as the Department's cursory review of the recently received proposed plan amendment to Chapter 5 —Economy and Chapter 6—Housing. We have no comments on Chapter 5—Economy at this time but, our economic development staff should be able to review the next draft and assist where appropriate. I would also like to review additional drafts and discuss the issues below with you prior to the next work session with your planning commission if possible. The beginning review identified the following issues regarding Chapter 6 in order to fully address the requirements of Goal 10: . • In the Key Findings for Housing, the City states that"A large portion of the 2005 BLI is zoned low density (54% is R-3.5 or$-4.5) or medium density (26%is R-7). No land zoned R-40 remains on the inventory."Given that,"since 1994,the overall density of residential construction citywide has been 6.8 dwelling units per acre." The City is required to develop at an average of 10 dwelling units per acre. • The City also notes that, "It is expected as remaining single-family residential land is developed that more attached residential units will be constructed through redevelopment and infill."And, "Areas such as Washington Square, Downtown Tigard, and the Tigard V 1VI 1JI LVV 1J.

These findings are insufficient to ensure that the city will achieve 10 dwelling units per acre. Let's discuss with our urban specialist some ways that may assist to getting to the density required. • In the Recommended Action Measures for Goal 10.1, xii. The City recommends an action to "Increase Tigard's diversity of housing types through ...inclusionary zoning." The Department notes that inclusionary zoning is prohibited by ORS 197.309, unless voluntary. • The Department recommends adding the following Recommended Action Measure to Goal 10.2: The City shall adopt clear and objective approval standards, criteria, conditions, and review process for needed housing per ORS Chapter 197. Please place this letter and additional correspondence into the record of the proceedings. If there are significant changes to the draft amendments, we would request that the record be held open at least seven days (but preferably fifteen days)pursuant to Oregon Revised Statures 197.763(4) (b), to allow us time to review and respond. Submitting files via email can speed our review.

PLANNING COMMISSION COMMUNICATIONS Commissioner CAffall reported that the Committee for Citizen Involvement is currently seeking new members for the committee. Commissioner Walsh advised that the Tree Board would be meeting Wednesday night. He is hoping staff will sum up the issues from the last joint Tree Board/Planning Commission workshop. They will work on the issues and come back to the Planning Commission at a future date. 4. APPROVE MEETING MINUTES Motion by Commissioner Doherty,seconded by Commissioner Hasman,to approve the October 1,2007 meeting minutes as submitted. The motion was approved as follows: AYES: Anderson,Doherty,Fishel,Hasman,Inman,Walsh NAYS: None ABSTENTIONS: C Iffall,Vermilyea EXCUSED: Muldoon 5. PUBLIC HEARING 5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2007-00003 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: ANNEXATION POLICY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 15,2007—Page 1 • • a � REQUEST: The City of Tigard proposes to amend Comprehensive Plan Policy 10.2.1 as directed by City Council to make explicit that annexation is required before property within its Urban Services Area, but outside the City limits, can receive city services. These changes also ensure that all policies in the Comprehensive Plan are consistent with City/County Agreements. LOCATION: Citywide. ZONE: The proposal is a Comprehensive Plan text amendment it is not applicable to a specific property or group of properties. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Tigard Community Development Code Chapter 18.390, Type IV Procedure; Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policies: General Policies 1.1.1; Citizen Involvement 2.1.1;Public Facilities and Services 7.4.1, 7.4.2;Urbanization 10.1.1 Metro Functional Plan. Statewide Planning Goals 1 (Citizen Involvement), 2 (Land Use Planning), 10 (Housing), 11 (Public Facilities and Services) and 14 (Urbanization). STAFF REPORT Assistant Community Development Director Ron Bunch presented the staff report on behalf of the City. He advised this application is a result of Council's desire to make sure it is absolutely explicit for properties located within the City's designated Urban Services Area and wishing to receive services, that they must first annex to the City to receive services. This policy will be included with the new Comprehensive Plan update, but since there are current pending annexation applications, the City wants to do this amendment early so property owners and developers know that they must annex before receiving City services. Bunch noted that in the past, homeowners weren't required to actually annex before receiving City services if they signed a non-remonstrance agreement for future annexation. In the City's experience, people successfully fought the non-remonstrance agreements in court and never annexed. Bunch said the proposed application complies with all applicable criteria and statewide planning goals and recommends the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council. Bunch advised that City services primarily include sewer and storm drainage lines. The term "services" is defined broadly, because we don't know what services could be included in the future. If the City does not approve the proposed amendment, it would make it difficult for developing properties in the Urban Services Area. We would argue that they cannot receive City services unless they annex to the City first. We would like the policy to be clear and straightforward. Bunch said the City would work with developers to see that annexation applications and land use applications would run concurrently. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 15,2007—Page 2 • . PUBLIC TESTIMONY John Frewing, 7110 Lola Lane, Tigard 97223, believes some of the proposed language is vague and should be clearer. He asked what a potential health hazard would be. Could that include police or unsafe sidewalks? Ron Bunch advised that the health hazard is defined by statute as a situation where there is a failing septic tank, contaminated ground water, or contaminated drinking water that requires the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission to declare an eminent health hazard to the public. We can reference the,statute and the administrative rules in the amendment. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED Motion by Commissioner Walsh,seconded by Commissioner G ffall,to move forward a recommendation of approval to City Council of application CPA 1007-00003 as amended to include specific reference to the legislative references in the ORS, including the staff report and the testimony tonight. The motion was approved as follows: AYES: Anderson, C'affall,Doherty,Fishel,Hasman,Inman,Vermilyea,Walsh NAYS: None ABSTENTIONS: None EXCUSED: Muldoon 6. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - HOUSING, ECONOMY WORKSHOP Commissioner Muldoon arrived at 7:30 p.m. Associate Planner Sean Farrelly presented the draft policy language on housing and economy. The Commissioners reviewed the proposed policy and suggested the following changes to the language (responses are written in italics): • It was suggested adding an action measure to develop a branded marketing effort and brand elements to preserve their value to Tigard. It's hard to tell one community from the next. This idea could be encompassed in dezeloping a fomvl economic dezeloiment pn gramarad strategy or Tee could add another action nrasure • Should we elevate 9.1.iv to a policy level? We can do that The idea that Tee should growzehat Tee haze is nflected in the"economic gardening idea"to dezelop vebat Tee already haze hen~ It was suggested taking the theme of action measures #iv and#v and re-working them into a policy statement for encouraging growing businesses. • Commissioner Vermilyea believes that,instead of letting traffic dictate what we can do in the Tigard Triangle,the City should envision a goal for the area (what we want it to look like,what do we want the character of the neighborhood to be) and then figure out the transportation needs for serving that goal. It was decided to "park" this idea and come back at a later date for discussion. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—October 15,2007—Page 3 • • • In Goals 9.1 and 9.3,there's not a lot of integration of residential, retail, and commercial uses (mixed use) and how housing integrates with economic development. Ma)1e zee can rcemphasize/Iref up the language Can we carry the language in 10.1.v forward to the economic development section and blend the two? • Add the term business clusters to the economic development definitions. It was suggested drawing the definition from the State Economist's definition. Also, add a possible action measure to prioritize support for businesses identified as able to develop into regional clusters. The definition could include some examples. • Under 9.3.xv, it was suggested to modify the focus to monitoring emerging technology to ensure competitive priced access. Some Commissioners, on the other hand,do not believe the City should be involved in being the leader on this. • It was suggested to add an action measure to add an Economic Development Director for the City. • Goal 9.2 could use more details. • Under 9.2.1, it looks like we're giving land away. • Under 9.3, can we elevate action measure #v to a clearer policy statement? Staff will lock at it. Possibly it could be expanded to include all transportation infrastructure etc, and mz)nrrttion HWy 99W Maybe 9.1 would be a better place for it. Transportation can he indiud in bill 9.1 and 9.3. • The definition for work force housing should be added to the Economic Development section. • 10.2.6 - maybe we could apply this to multi-family housing instead of single family. • 10.2.9 the language seems strong and may be inconsistent with the other sections that we've had on this topic. Suggested language: The City shall require infill development to be designed to address compatibility with existing neighborhoods. Action measure #ii might give us the means by which it could be addressed. We may have to break it down to more action measures. • 10.2.10 - change the wording to: "home business occupations" or otherwise clarify that it pertains to home-based businesses. John Frewing offered the following comments: • He expressed concern about wording which could make one particular goal appear more important than another. The language should be comparable throughout the entire Comp Plan, so that all goals would be weighed and considered the same. For example,the strong language in 9.1.3 does not exist in the current Comp Plan. Using words like seek, balance, and coordinate efforts would be the right way to do it throughout. • Under 9.3.1, he would like to see the Tigard Triangle added to the list. • He would like to see map 3-3 in the Resource Document updated in the final document. 7.

Tigard's economy is intertwined with the economy of the region, the nation, and the world. Tigard's location at the crossroads of several transportation routes has proven to be a major advantage. Other advantages include the relatively high educational attainment level of its citizens; and its proximity to the high technology centers in Washington County and major educational institutions such as Portland State University and Portland Community College. A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation" for a city its size due to the comparatively high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business. Tigard residents envision a future economy that builds on these strengths. Tigard shall have a strong and resilient local economy with a diverse portfolio of economic activity: retail, professional service, and industrial jobs. The local economy shall provide for goods and services for local resident and business needs but also have the goal of expanding the "traded sector." This sector sells goods and services outside the region to the broader state, national and international markets and/or produces goods and services that normally would have to be imported to the community. These businesses bring income into the community or region and keep local income from going elsewhere. Tigard's future economy may include activities whose characteristics are not foreseeable at this time such as live-work arrangements; light manufacturing combined with research and development; creative crafts and arts such as film, advertising, communications, etc. Therefore the City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities. Tigard is sometimes perceived as a bedroom community for nearby cities. This is not accurate. Tigard businesses provide 38,628 full and part time jobs in 2005 (State of Oregon Employment Department). This number is greater than the number of Tigard residents over the age of 16 in the workforce: 25,537 (O.E.D, 2006). 70% of Tigard residents work outside the City, so thousands of workers from throughout the region are regularly commuting to Tigard jobs (2000 Census). The City shall seek to expand the opportunities for residents to work closer to where they live. This will require promoting a mix of high quality housing opportunities for households with varying incomes. Quality of life factors shall be promoted to attract economic investments and a skilled work force. Among these factors are an attractive and well-maintained community; high levels of public safety; accessible and responsive local government;availability of a variety of housing, good public schools; access to nature, high quality parks, leisure and recreation activities, safe and convenient multi-modal transportation opportunities, and smoothly running essential infrastructure. State and Regional Policies The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and Metro have • • DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT developed policies that address economic opportunities which are based on Statewide Planning Goal 9: Goal 9: Economic Development • To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. A major emphasis of the Goal 9 policies is to preserve and protect land for industrial and employment uses. Metro has sought to implement this on a regional basis. Tide 4 of the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan identifies Industrial and Other Employment Areas that are important to the region. • Tigard has little available vacant land suitable for new large-scale industrial development. The City is severely limited in its ability to expand its boundaries, so the only way to designate new industrial land would be to re-zone existing land. This is unlikely to happen at a large scale. Tigard can ensure a strong economy with these desired characteristics by working on a formal economic development program. In the near term the Downtown Urban Renewal District has the potential to redevelop and attract additional employment and economic activity. Key Findings for Economy • Tigard is home to a wide range of economic activity. • Tigard does not have a formal city-wide economic development strategy. • Tigard's location at the crossroads of important transportation corridors Interstate 5, Highway 217, and Hwy 99W is a major advantage in attracting economic activity. • Approximately 31% of Tigard's land area is zoned for commercial, industrial, and mixed use purposes. These properties represent about 31% of the total assessed property value. • The major commercial and mixed-use areas of the City are Washington Square,Tigard Triangle, Downtown Tigard, and the Hwy 99W corridor. Industrially zoned properties are generally located along the freight rail line, in between Fanno Creek and Interstate 5. • In 2005 Tigard public and private sectors provided 38,628 full and part time jobs. (This does not include self-employed workers.) • In 2005, 3,124 businesses paid the Tigard business tax. About half of these businesses employ four people or fewer. • There are more jobs in Tigard than people in the workforce living within the City boundaries. 70% of residents commute outside the city; therefore Tigard is a net attractor of commuters. • In Tigard, the Wholesale Trade sector has the largest amount of sales. The Retail sector has the largest annual aggregate payroll and largest number of workers. DRAFT DRAFT • DRAFT • • Financial Activities, Retail, and Construction are employment sectors with high Location Quotients (propensity to locate) in Tigard. • Metro has designated approximately 1,100 acres of Industrial and Commercially zoned properties in Tigard as Title 4 Industrial and Employment Areas.Tigard will have to amend its code to limit the development of retail and service uses for some I-P zone properties. • There has been no large-scale encroachment of retail/office uses in industrial areas in Tigard. • In 1997 Metro assigned Tigard a capacity of 17, 801 new jobs by the year 2017. • Between 1997 and 2004,Tigard added approximately 3,800 jobs. • Tigard's supply of industrially zoned land will likely be inadequate to meet the forecasted 2024 job demand in this area. It appears that there is an adequate supply of commercial land. • Tigard has little vacant industrial land available to attract new large scale industrial development. • A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation." A study of patents and communities by the research firm iPiQ found that in 2005,Tigard had a high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business (29). The study attributed this to Tigard's lower rents and taxes attracting professionals from Portland and Beaverton.

Each person seeking a new place to call home must find a suitable match between price, location, housing type and lifestyle,which can be a daunting task. In Oregon, the state planning goals aim to broaden the available selection: Each jurisdiction, including Tigard, must provide the opportunity for different "sizes" of housing to fit residents'varied needs, considering available land, price ranges, rent levels and housing type. • Goal 10: Housing: To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. Some of the factors that local governments can influence are the supply of available residential land; the availability of public services; development regulations (density and design), and support for low and moderate income housing. In the Portland metropolitan region, only land included in the Metro Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), an invisible line that separates rural areas from suburban, can be developed at residential densities requiring urban services. At the local level, each state and regional jurisdiction must inventory its buildable land,which is defined as vacant and re- developable land suitable for residential use, to determine housing capacity. Tigard maintains a buildable lands inventory (BLI) that tracks available residential land. Two state and Metro requirements help determine housing capacities on buildable land within the Portland Metropolitan Area - the state Metropolitan Housing Rule and Title 1 of Metro's UrbanGrowth Management Functional Plan (Functional Plan). Both focus on increasing jurisdictions' housing capacity in order to use land within the UGB efficiently. • Metropolitan Housing Rule The Metropolitan Housing Rule (OAR 660-007/Division 7) established regional residential density and mix standards for communities within the Metro UGB. It set minimum residential density standards for new construction by jurisdiction. Tigard must provide for an overall density opportunity of 10 or more dwelling units per net buildable acre, as well as designate sufficient buildable land to provide the opportunity for at least 50 percent of new residential units to be attached housing (either single-family or multiple-family.) • Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Metro implements Goal 10 through Title 1. To meet Title 1, each jurisdiction was required to determine its housing capacity and adopt minimum density requirements. Tigard adopted an 80% of minimum density requirement for development in 1998, which means that a development must build 80% of the maximum units allowed by the zoning designation. The City has a committed to providing the development opportunity for an 6,308 additional dwelling units between 1998—2017. This number shows Tigard's zoned capacity for additional dwelling units. It is an estimate based on the minimum number of dwelling units allowed in each residential zoning district, assuming minimum density requirements. Sept 10, 2007 1 • • DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT The City of Tigard maintains an up-to-date buildable lands inventory, a permit tracking system for development, as well as complying with Metro's Functional Plan. The City is responsible for monitoring residential development. All of these tools aid the City in monitoring its progress toward the above goals, and determining if the opportunity remains for current and future residents to have diverse housing choices. Tigard's Geographic Limits to Growth In the last several years Washington County has urbanized significant areas of unincorporated land to the south and west of Tigard. It and service districts provide the minimum required facilities and services. The county's actions combined with state annexation law make it is improbable that most of these developed lands will annex to Tigard. Urbanized unincorporated land forms a barrier between Tigard and unincorporated urban growth areas designated by Metro. Thus Tigard is unlikely to expand its city boundaries in the future. The lack of vacant residential land will require Tigard to meet its housing capacity commitment within its current, mostly built-out city limits. This will require actions to increase residential density within the appropriate areas such as along major transportation corridors and within designated Regional and Town Centers. Thus much new residential development will occur through urban infill and redevelopment. Affordable Housing/ Special Needs Housing Metro also addresses affordable housing in Title 7 of its Functional Plan. Title 7 includes voluntary affordable housing production goals and other affordable housing strategies. Tigard has undertaken a variety of voluntary actions to support and enhance opportunities for affordable housing, including offsetting City fees and charges for affordable housing, and a tax exemption for low income housing developed by nonprofits. Among the organizations involved in low income housing, special needs housing, and emergency housing are Community Partners for Affordable Housing,Tualatin Valley Housing Partners, Luke-Dorf, and the Good Neighbor Center. Tigard is also part of the Washington County Housing Consortium that utilizes home and CDBG funds to provide housing opportunities. Key Findings for HOUSING • Almost three-quarters of Tigard is zoned for residential land uses (68.6%). • There are 19,468 single-family and multi-family housing units in Tigard,with an additional 55 mobile homes and 14 manufactured homes. 63.5% of the total units are single family and 36.5 % are multi-family • Eighty-one percent of housing units were built after 1970. • Most new housing built since 1994 has been single-family attached or detached (82%). • The majority of Tigard residents own their homes (58%),with 41% paying rent (2000 Census). • Over the last five years, Portland region housing prices have rapidly escalated. In Tigard, the 2005 median house price was $269,900, up 18% from 2004, and 46% from 2000. Sept 10, 2007 2 DRAFT • DRAFT • DRAFT • The 1999 median household income for Washington County was $52,122. • • For Tigard the median household income was $51,581. • In the Portland metropolitan area in 2005, the ratio of house prices to wages was 6.8. ($41,623 median wage vs. $282,900 median house value.) This compares to an average ratio of 5.5 for the United States as a whole. • In a fall 2004 survey, apartment rents averaged $705 a month,which would be affordable for households making $28,200 or more annually,almost half of the median income. The 93% occupancy rate was lower than the optimal rate (95%), showing weaker demand. However, recent housing price increases could reverse this trend. • In 2006,Tigard had approximately 7,115 rental units. • There are 495 Tigard households on the Washington County housing waiting list, representing 1250 people, almost half of which are under 18. Eighty- seven percent of these households make 30% or less of the 2003 annual median Washington County household income ($16,200 or less). • Metro included a voluntary production goal for Tigard of 319 affordable housing units for the period 2001-2006. The City declined to adopt this goal. • Tigard itself does not construct affordable low to moderate income housing. Most of this housing in Washington County is constructed by non-profits using state and federal subsidies. • A large portion of the 2005 BLI is zoned low density (54% is R-3.5 or R-4.5) or medium density (26% is R-7). No land zoned R-40 remains on the inventory. The majority of available lots are one acre or less in size. • Between 1994-2006 3,380 housing units have been built in the City. This is 54% of its Title 1 zoned capacity number of 6,308 units (Metro Title 1; based on 1996 boundaries). • Based on this data, if the City developed its remaining residential buildable lands, an additional 2,879 to 3,456 units could be built. • Since 1994 the overall density of residential construction citywide has been 6.8 dwelling units per acre. It is expected as remaining single-family residential land is developed that more attached residential units will be constructed through redevelopment and infill. • Areas such as Washington Square, Downtown Tigard, and the Tigard Triangle allow for higher density residential projects but few high-density attached units have been built due to market conditions.

The draft goals, policies, and action measures were created based on a number of activities including: • Citizen input at Policy Interest Team meetings • Citizen review of draft goals at two Comprehensive Plan open houses • Community surveys over the past several years • Tigard Beyond Tomorrow Visioning Process • Tigard 2007 Resource Report These draft goals, policies, and 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 draft goals, policies, and 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 action measures that will be brought before the Planning Commission for a public hearing on November 19`h. To meet this timeline, please thoroughly review the materials before the meeting, and have your questions ready to ensure a focused and efficient review and discussion. Staff is available to answer any questions that you may have leading up to the meeting. You can contact me at 503-718-2420 or sean @tigard-or.gov The attached material for each of the topics includes: • Draft goals, policies, and action measures 1 • • • "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. • 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). Recommended Action Measure 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. 2 • • The City should periodically review and prioritize recommended action measures based on current circumstances, community needs and the City's goal and policy obligations.

Below are the key findings from the Community (Housing and Economic Development) chapter of the document (which can be found in its entirety at www.tigard- or.gov/2027). Please review the key findings as they will provide important background information when discussing goals, policies, and action measures. Key Findings for Housing: • Almost three-quarters of Tigard is zoned for residential land uses (68.6%). • • There are 19,468 single-family and multi-family housing units in Tigard,with an additional 55 mobile homes and 14 manufactured homes. 63.5% of the total units are single-family and 36.5 % are multi-family. • Eighty-one percent of housing units were built after 1970. • Most new housing built since 1994 has been single-family attached or detached (82%). • The majority of Tigard residents own their homes (58%), with 41% paying rent (2000 Census). • Over the last five years, Portland region housing prices have rapidly escalated. In Tigard, the 2005 median house price was $269,900,up 18% from 2004, and 46% from 2000. • The 1999 median household income for Washington County was $52,122. For Tigard the median household income was $51,581. • In the Portland metropolitan area in 2005, the ratio of house prices to wages was 6.8. ($41,623 median wage vs. $282,900 median house value.) This compares to an average ratio of 5.5 for the United States as a whole. • In a fall 2004 survey, apartment rents averaged $705 a month, which would be affordable for households making$28,200 or more annually,almost half of the median income. The 93% occupancy rate was lower than the optimal rate (95%), showing weaker demand; however,recent housing price increases could reverse this trend. • In 2006,Tigard had approximately 7,115 rental units. • There are 495 Tigard households on the Washington County housing waiting list, representing 1250 people, almost half of which are under 18. Eighty- seven percent of these households make 30% or less of the 2003 annual median Washington County household income ($16,200 or less). • Metro included a voluntary production goal for Tigard of 319 affordable housing units for the period 2001-2006. The City declined to adopt this goal. • Tigard itself does not construct affordable low to moderate income housing. Most of this housing in Washington County is constructed by non-profits using state and federal subsidies. • • • A large portion of the 2005 BLI is zoned low density (54% is R-3.5 or R-4.5) or medium density (26% is R-7). No land zoned R-40 remains on the inventory. The majority of available lots are one acre or less in size. • Between 1994-2006 3,380 housing units have been built in the City. This is 54% of its Title 1 zoned capacity number of 6,308 units (Metro Title 1; based on 1996 boundaries). • Based on this data,if the City developed its remaining residential buildable lands, an additional 2,879 to 3,456 units could be built. • Since 1994 the overall density of residential construction Citywide has been 6.8 dwelling units per acre. It is expected that more attached residential units will be constructed through redevelopment and infill as remaining single- family residential land is developed. • Areas such as Washington Square, Downtown Tigard, and the Tigard Triangle allow for higher density residential projects but few high-density attached units have been built due to market conditions. Key Findings for Economic Development: • Tigard is home to a wide range of economic activity. • Tigard does not have a formal city-wide economic development strategy. • Tigard's location at the crossroads of important transportation corridors I-5, Hwy 217, and Hwy 99W is a major advantage in attracting economic activity. • Approximately 31% of Tigard's land area is zoned for commercial, industrial, and mixed use purposes. These properties represent about 31% of the total assessed property value. • The major commercial and mixed-use areas of the City are Washington Square,Tigard Triangle, Downtown Tigard, and the Hwy 99W corridor. Industrially zoned properties are generally located along the freight rail line, in between Fanno Creek and I-5. • • In 2005,Tigard public and private sectors provided 38,628 full and part time jobs. (This does not include self-employed workers.) • In 2005, 3,124 businesses paid the Tigard business tax. About half of these businesses employ four people or fewer. • In Tigard there are more jobs than people in the workforce living within the City boundaries. 70% of residents commute outside the City; therefore Tigard is a net attractor of commuters. • In Tigard, the Wholesale Trade sector has the largest amount of sales. The Retail sector has the largest annual aggregate payroll and largest number of workers. • Financial Activities, Retail, and Construction are employment sectors with high Location Quotients (propensity to locate) in Tigard. • Metro has designated approximately 1,100 acres of Industrial and Commercially zoned properties in Tigard as Title 4 Industrial and Employment Areas:Tigard will have to • • amend its code to limit the development of retail and service uses for some I-P zone properties. •. There has been no large-scale encroachment of retail/office uses in industrial areas in- Tigard. • In 1997 Metro assigned Tigard a capacity of 17,801 new jobs by the year 2017. Between 1997 and 2004,Tigard added approximately 3,800 jobs. • Tigard's supply of industrially zoned land will likely be inadequate to meet the forecasted 2024 job demand in this area. It appears that there is an adequate supply of commercial land. • Tigard has little vacant industrial land available to attract new large scale industrial development. • A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation." A study of patents and communities by the research firm iPiQ found that in 2005,Tigard had a high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business (29). The study attributed this to Tigard's lower rents and taxes attracting professionals from Portland and Beaverton. • • • • • 3 Iw yw:,p TIGARD 2027 TOPIC : COMMUNITY ( Housing and Economic Development ) "COMMUNITY" DEFINITION: The basic structure around which daily life happens: where people live, work, and play.

Rewrite policy#5: all other policies start differently and this one seems to leave out something. Action Measures: iii. is already available-the same with iv. A general observation: there may be too many action measures; if each action measure is to result in a program, you will have so many programs that most won't get done; similar to all those in the public facility needs for Waco Square and the Triangle that have been ignored for all these years. The cost is great and the caveat to all these housing policies is that funding will be competing with other needs and will be hard to come by which is something that should be said upfront. Goal 10.2: #9 what if the infill is in an area where existing development does not match the density of existing zoning? If in these cases, it is what is desired, that also should be spelled out. Action Measures: ii. there are compatibility standards in the code now; but compatibility with existing development is a loaded gun that inhibits infill. iv. says utilize....; wouldn't it be better to say promote because we don't actually do the development projects and it is up to the developer unless we prescribe that they use these tools in certain circumstances; ix. Will this mean more funding for code enforcement? It can't happen without additional staffing and education.

On July 24th join City of Tigard planning staff as they present the draft goals and policies for the Economy section of the updated Tigard Comprehensive Plan. This will be an opportunity for Chamber members to provide feedback and to suggest additional strategies. The Economy section of the Comprehensive Plan will guide the City in making decisions that will strengthen the local economic climate • for residents and businesses. ****Background: The Tigard Comprehensive Plan is the primary document that guides land use and other decisions within the community. The City's current Comprehensive Plan dates back to 1983. Tigard has changed dramatically since then. Citizen volunteers and stakeholders, working with staff are currently updating it. This will ensure the Plan remains a viable tool for decision-makers and citizens to use when seeking policy direction regarding Tigard's future. The goals, policies, and action measures that are developed for the new plan will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Council in workshops and public hearings that F Sean Farrelly- RE:Revised Housing Goa Policies, and Action Measures Page 1 • • From: "William Haack" <whaack @ci.beaverton.or.us> To: "Sean Farrelly" <Sean @tigard-or.gov> Date: 9/10/2007 5:17:49 PM • Subject: RE: Revised Housing Goals, Policies, and Action Measures Sean If there is a reason to meet I could meet the next week or so The overall document is improved with the changes - no major issue is noted Bill Bill Haack' Economic Development I Office of the Mayor City of Beaverton I PO Box 4755 I Beaverton OR 97076-4755 503-350-4072 (Office) 1 503-526-2479 (Fax) Original Message From: Sean Farrelly [mailto:Sean @tigard-or.gov] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 4:16 PM To: Sean Farrelly Subject: Revised Housing Goals, Policies, and Action Measures Hello PIT members, The Housing section of the Comprehensive Plan is nearing readiness for its first work session with the Planning Commission.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS PROHIBITED WITHIN FLOODPLAINS. ❑ STEEP SLOPES [Refer to Code Section 18.775.080.C) When STEEP SLOPES exist, prior to issuance of a final order, a geotechnical report must be submitted which addresses the approval standards of the Tigard Community Development Code Section 18.775.080.C. The report shall be based upon field exploration and investigation and shall include specific recommendations for achieving the requirements of Section 18.775.080.0. n CLEANWATER SERVICES[CWS)BUFFER STANDARDS (Refer to CWS Rao 07-20/USA Regulations-Chapter 3) LAND DEVELOPMENT ADJACENT TO SENSITIVE AREAS shall preserve and maintain or create a vegetated corridor for a buffer wide enough to protect the water quality functioning of the sensitive area. Design Criteria: The VEGETATED CORRIDOR WIDTH is dependent on the sensitive area. The following table identifies the required widths: TABLE 3.1 VEGETATED CORRIDOR WIDTHS SOURCE: CWS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS MANUAL/RESOLUTION & ORDER 07-20 SENSITIVE AREA DEFINITION SLOPE ADJACENT WIDTH OF VEGETATED TO SENSITIVE AREA4 CORRIDOR PER SIDES • Streams with intermittent flow draining: <25% + 10 to <50 acres 15 feet * >50 to <100 acres 25 feet • Existing or created wetlands <0.5 acre 25 feet • Existing or created wetlands >0.5 acre <25% 50 feet • Rivers, streams, and springs with year-round flow • Streams with intermittent flow draining >100 acres • Natural lakes and ponds • Streams with intermittent flow draining: >25% $ 10 to <50 acres 30 feet >50 to <100 acres 50 feet • Existing or created wetlands >25% Variable from 50-200 feet. Measure • Rivers, streams, and springs with year-round flow in 25-foot increments from the starting • Streams with intermittent flow draining >100 acres point to the top of ravine (break in • Natural lakes and ponds <25%slope), add 35 feet past the top of ravine' 4Starting point for measurement = edge of the defined channel (bankful flow) for streams/rivers, delineated wetland boundary, delineated spring boundary, and/or average high water for lakes or ponds,whichever offers greatest resource protection. Intermittent springs, located a minimum of 15 feet within the river/stream or wetland vegetated corridor,shall not serve as a starting point for measurement. 5Vegetated corridor averaging or reduction is allowed only when the vegetated corridor is certified to be in a marginal or degraded condition. 6The vegetated corridor extends 35 feet from the top of the ravine and sets the outer boundary of the vegetated corridor. The 35 feet may be reduced to 15 feet,if a stamped geotechnical report confirms slope stability shall be maintained with the reduced setback from the top of ravine. CITY OF TIGARD Pre-Application Conference Notes Page 4 of 8 NON-Residential Application/Planning Division Section Restrictions in the Ve e Corridor: NO structures, develont, construction activities, garden awns, application of chemicals, dumping of any materials of any kind, or other activities shall be permitted which otherwise detract from the water quality protection provided by the vegetated corridor, except as provided for in the CWS Design and Construction Standards. Location of Vegetated Corridor: IN ANY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WHICH CREATES MULTIPLE PARCELS or lots intended for separate ownership, such as a subdivision, the vegetated corridor shall be contained in a separate tract, and shall not be a part of any parcel to be used for the construction of a dwelling unit. CWS Service Provider Letter: PRIOR TO SUBMITTAL of any land use applications, the applicant must obtain a CWS Service Provider Letter which will outline the conditions necessary to comply with the CWS R&O 07-20 sensitive area requirements.

Protection is preferred over removal where possible. THE TREE PLAN SHALL INCLUDE the following: ➢ Identification of the location, size and species of all existing trees including trees designated as significant by the City; ➢ Identification of a program to save existing trees or mitigate tree removal over 12 inches in caliper. Mitigation must follow the replacement guidelines of Section 18.790.060.D according to the following standards and shall be exclusive of trees required by other development code provisions for landscaping, streets and parking lots: Retainage of less than 25% of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires a mitigation program according to Section 18.150.070.D. of no net loss of trees; Retainage of from 25 to 50% of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires that two- thirds of the trees to be removed be mitigated according to Section 18.790.060.D.; �► Retainage of from 50 to 75% of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires that 50% of the trees to be removed be mitigated according to Section 18.790.060.D.; Retainage of 75% or greater of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires no mitigation; ➢ Identification of all trees which are proposed to be removed; and ➢ A protection program defining standards and methods that will be used by the applicant to protect trees during and after construction. TREES REMOVED WITHIN THE PERIOD OF ONE (1) YEAR PRIOR TO A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION LISTED ABOVE will be inventoried as part of the tree plan above and will be replaced according to Section 18.790.060.D. ❑ MITIGATION (Refer to Code Section 18.100.060.E1 REPLACEMENT OF A TREE shall take place according to the following guidelines: ➢ A replacement tree shall be a substantially similar species considering site characteristics. ➢ If a replacement tree of the species of the tree removed or damaged is not reasonably available, the Director may allow replacement with a different species of equivalent natural resource value. CITY OF TIGARD Pre-Application Conference Notes Page 5 of 8 NON-Residential Application/Planning Division Section • ➢ If a replacement of the size cut is not reasonably Viable on the local market or would not be viable, th irector shall require replacement wWnore than one tree in accordance with the following formula: 0 The number of replacement trees required shall be determined by dividing the estimated caliper size of the tree removed or damaged, by the caliper size of the largest reasonably available replacement trees. If this number of trees cannot be viably located on the subject property, the Director may require one (1) or more replacement trees to be planted on other property within the city, either public property or, with the consent of the owner, private property. ➢ The planting of a replacement tree shall take place in a manner reasonably calculated to allow growth to maturity. IN-LIEU OF TREE REPLACEMENT under Subsection D of this section, a party may, with the consent of the Director, elect to compensate the City for its costs in performing such tree replacement. ❑ CLEAR VISION AREA (Refer to Code Chapter 18.195) The City requires that CLEAR VISION AREAS BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN THREE (3) AND EIGHT (8) FEET IN HEIGHT at road/driveway, road/railroad, and road/road intersections.

CITY OF TIGARD Pre-Application Conference Notes Page 7 of 8 NON-Residential Application/Planning Division Section The administrative deci or public hearing will typically occurrproximately 45 to 60 days after an application is accepted -c eing complete by the Planning Divis Liii. Applications involving difficult or protracted issues or requiring review by other jurisdictions may take additional time to review. Written recommendations from the Planning staff are issued seven (7) days prior to the public hearing. A 10-day public appeal period follows all land use decisions. An appeal on this matter would be heard by the Tigard . A basic flow chart which illustrates the review process is available from the Planning Division upon request. Land use applications requiring a public hearing must have notice posted on-site by the applicant no less than 10 days prior to the public hearing. This PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE AND THE NOTES OF THE CONFERENCE ARE INTENDED TO INFORM the prospective applicant of the primary Community Development Code requirements applicable to the potential development of a particular site and to allow the City staff and prospective applicant to discuss the opportunities and constraints affecting development of the site. BUILDING PERMITS • PLANS FOR BUILDING AND OTHER RELATED PERMITS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR REVIEW UNTIL A LAND USE APPROVAL HAS BEEN ISSUED. Final inspection approvals by the Building Division will not be granted until there is compliance with all conditions of development approval. These pre-application notes do not include comments from the Building Division. For proposed buildings or modifications to existing buildings, it is recommended to contact a Building Division Plans Examiner to determine if there are building code issues that would prevent the structure from being constructed, as proposed. Additionally, with regard to Subdivisions and Minor Land Partitions where any structure to be demolished has system development charge (SDC) credits and the underlying parcel for that structure will be eliminated when the new plat is recorded, the City's policy is to apply those system development credits to the first building permit issued in the development (UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY THE DEVELOPER AT THE TIME IN WHICH THE DEMOLITION PERMIT IS OBTAINED). PLEASE NOTE: The conference and notes cannot cover all Code requirements and aspects related to site planning that should apply to the development of your site plan. Failure of the staff to provide information required by the Code shall not constitute a waiver of the applicable standards or requirements. It is recommended that a prospective applicant either obtain and read the Community Development Code or ask any questions of City staff relative to Code requirements prior to submitting an application. AN ADDITIONAL PRE-APPLICATION FEE AND CONFERENCE WILL BE REQUIRED IF AN APPLICATION PERTAINING TO THIS PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE IS SUBMITTED AFTER A PERIOD OF MORE THAN SIX (6) MONTHS FOLLOWING THIS CONFERENCE (unless deemed as unnecessary by the Planning Division).
