The proposed amendments reflect improvements associated with Alternative B in the Tigard 99W Plan. Many of the changes are in tables or reference illustration changes and are listed below. There are 27 proposed modifications (beginning on page 5 of this Exhibit, each amendment can be found as a separate page). In summary they are: • • Proposed Amendment 1 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan List along ORE 99W to include a sidewalk project scope and cost. • Proposed Amendment 2 updates the Bicycle Master Plan description of bicycle lanes south of Gaarde/McDonald to Durham Road to note that these facilities are existing, not planned. • Proposed Amendment 3 updates the Bicycle Action Plan Improvement List and Cost. • Proposed Amendment 4, 5, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 26 advises that both the TSP and RTP should be amended to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current designation to widen ORE 99W to 7 lanes. • Proposed Amendment 6 and 20 add intersection improvements to Durham Road and SW Canterbury Lane. • Proposed Amendment 7 updates potential pedestrian projects along ORE 99W to increase project scope. • Proposed Amendments 8 and 9 add pedestrian activated signalized crossings. • Proposed Amendment 11 updates a Park and Ride location. • Proposed Amendment 10 updates plan to include existing bike lanes just north of SW Greenburg Road. • Proposed Amendment 12 updates potential transit projects to implement transit queue bypass lanes along ORE 99W at several locations. • Proposed amendments 14, 15 and 16 identify access management measures for highway 99W. • Proposed Amendment 21 updates the table to include specific projects and add project intersections. • Proposed Amendment 22, 23 and 24 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan project list funding and implementation ranking. • • Proposed Amendment 25 updates the Bicycle Action Plan funding and implementation • ranking. • Proposed Amendment 27 updates the City of Tigard Future Intersection Improvements table to include specific projects and add projects at the several intersections. Part 2: Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. The Transportation Planning Rule,OAR 660 Division 12, requires local jurisdictions to prepare . and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their CPA2008-00011 PAGE 1 OF 31 • comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3:Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tijrd 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee.The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. The numbering will start as indicated: 24. Prior to implementation ofprojects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware of pending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. 25. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed I-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible;and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the 1-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99Wimprovements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 28. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative of positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99W problems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. CPA2008-0001 I PAGE 2 OF 31 • • 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique.A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. If light rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, resources shall be used to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. Part 4:Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 99W"Management and Improvement Plan recommends the Tigard TSP is amended to retain four/five lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes.To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2. Staff feels the language change is necessary to provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for • function, ingress/egress spacing,and access management. This would effectively generate four thru-lanes and up to two temporary/short duration/turn lanes for access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A. Highway 99W should • - - _ • -- • - •- " • . . - - - - = ke section retain a Slane section throughout the study area, except where necessary to accommodate adjacent development impacts, spot capacity improvements, and intersection improvements. (tool box). This improvement should be constructed in the short term. In the event that widening highway 99 to- six 5 lanes puts auxilia17 lanes through intersections is prohibitive due to physical constraints, the Dartmouth (CPA200a_0001 1 PAGE 3 OF 31 demand.

Chapter 7 Transit CITY OF TIGARD OREGON This chapter summarizes existing and future transit needs in the City of Tigard. The following sections outline the criteria to be used to evaluate needs, provides a number of strategies for implementing a transit plan and recommends a transit plan for the City of Tigard. The needs, criteria and strategies were identified in working with the City's TSP Task Force. This committee provided input regarding the transportation system in Tigard, specifically exploring transit needs. The methodology used to develop the transit plan combined citizen and staff input. NEEDS There are currently 12 fixed bus routes which provide service within the City of Tigard. These bus routes are summarized in Chapter 3 (Existing Conditions). There are four express routes providing service to Tigard residents (12E, 64X, 92X and 95X). Existing transit headways on bus routes in Tigard range from 10-15 minutes on Routes 12 and 92X to about 30 minutes on Routes 76 and 78 during peak commute periods. Metro's Draft Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) identifies the following routes on its Public Transportation System Map (Figure 7-1)1: • ORE 217 HCT Corridor • Greenburg/Hall/Durham HOT Corridor • ORE 99W (East of ORE 217) HCT Corridor • Hall Boulevard (North of ORE 217) Frequent Bus • Hunziker Street Frequent Bus • ORE 99W (West of ORE 217) Primary Bus • Scholls Ferry Road (East of Murray) Primary Bus • 121st/Walnut Street Primary Bus • 68th Parkway/Hampton Street Primary Bus • 72nd Avenue (South of Hampton) Primary Bus Based upon these designations, the City of Tigard designates all bus stops on HCT Corridors and Frequent Bus routes as Major Transit Stops. In addition, all park and ride sites and transit stations are designated major transit stops (Downtown Tigard, Washington Square, park and ride at ORE 99W/ Rd e74th Avenue). While Tri-Met bus ridership in Tigard increased by 35% from 1990 to 1994 and another 15%from 1994 to 1999 (comparing 12 routes), transit ridership represents 6 percent of Tigard PM peak hour trip making. 1 Public Transportation System Map, Metro,Version 4.0, December 1, 1997.

ORE 99W fails in the future without improvement. Of all the regional transportation issues in Tigard, ORE 99W is probably the closest to a"rubik's cube". Tigard depends heavily on ORE 99W as its primary arterial. There are no parallel routes to ORE 99W and its diagonal alignment and the physical features of Tigard make using ORE 99W essential for also any trip in Tigard. ORE 99W's statewide status and linkage to Yamhill County and the Oregon Coast have similar issues—the only route servicing northeast-southwest travel. The future demand for this corridor is well beyond its five lane capacity without system-wide improvements. Ten various alternatives to improving ORE 99W were investigated, ranging from the no improvement to radical capacity improvements. Table 8-5 summarizes the wide range of alternatives. Unfortunately, no one improvement results in desirable (better than level of service F) operation. The most significant finding was that no matter whether ORE 99W was widened southwest of Greenburg Road,the end result was failure. Added capacity on ORE 99W (tested by modeling seven lanes) resulted in significantly higher turning movements on/off ORE 99W and large through movements on ORE 99W. The end result was that not only would you have to widen to seven lanes but at nearly every intersection additional turning lanes were needed (double lefts, right turn) creating nearly a 10 lane cross section at intersection. And even after that the end result was level of service F conditions. Therefore the recommended approach combines several elements to produce a minimally acceptable operating condition. The TSP recommends: 1) .••.. .• ' • ►. •+ . • , ,• . . _•- . .- - • , • P:: • extensive intersection improvements— auxiliary turning and/or through lanes at key intersections on Highway 99W;-2)aggressive access management, including the development of an access management plan for the corridor;§3)improvements to ORE 217 and 1-5 noted above;44) off-system improvements such as freeway improvements and arterials such as Walnut extension;and-75) consideration of a western/Yamhill County commuter rail corridor."

Update text to "ORE 99W scvcrlanes access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. " Tigard Triangle Area. This subarea is also subject of a recently adopted plan. The basic package of street improvements needed to mitigate level of service F conditions in this area include: • ORE 99W seven lanes access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections, • Dartmouth Street five lanes • 72nd Avenue five lanes • Atlanta Street extended from Haines Street to 72nd Avenue • Backage roads to ORE 99W (providing access to business but not directly on ORE 99W) CPA200&0001 t PAGE 18 OF 31 • • Proposed Amendment 16: TSP Chapter 8: Motor Vehicles Committee Recommendation: Page 8-38: Table,third item: Update text to `- - . - • . This option would limit the potential of the Tigard Triangle to serve the projected land use in the future without localised intersection improvements. These improvements could include additional approach turn and/or through lanes northbound and southbound on ORB 99W for short periods. • = : = • •= - '' •=• • Other options considered in this sub area included a Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing of ORE 217, an extension of Atlanta Street to Dartmouth Street and five lanes on ORE 99W. The following summarizes the findings of these options: Dartmouth Attracts less than 5,000 vehicles per day by itself; extend Walnut to link to Hunziker up with the overcrossing of ORE 217 and the volume increase to 8,000 ORE 217 per day. Implement complete ramp metering in the Tigard Triangle Overcrossi area (on ORE 217 and 1-5) and the volume increases to 13,000 ng vehicles per day. Most of the traffic benefits of the overcrossing are produced with the Hunziker to Hampton overcrossing and the Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing has limited additional benefit. Unfortunately, ORE 99W still requires mitigation with or without overcrossing; access to ORE 217 would not be allowed by ODOT due to substandard spacing resulting in unsafe operation at large expense. One option where this overcrossing may be desirable in the future would be where ramp metering is fully operational and improvements to ORE 217 include a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane alternative where direct connections to ORE 99W are desired, The Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing could provide access to the Tigard Triangle and ORE 99W area via drop in ramps. Therefore, a potential alignment should be preserved for future consideration (where the alignment would go through parking lots). However, the overcrossing is not part of the street improvement plan in the TSP. Atlanta While the Atlanta extension to 72"° is 10,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day Extension the segment to the south connecting to Dartmouth is well below that to level. Recent development has blocked an optimal alignment. Dartmouth Backage roads will be more effective in this setting. The TSP includes the Atlanta extension to 72nd and backage roads with redevelopment. Five lane Love! of sorvico F conditions rosult in Tigard Triangle without 7 lanes. This ORE 99W option would limit the potential of the Tigard Triangle to serve the projected land use in the future without localized intersection improvements.

The City Council makes plans for the future and"the future we are making those plans for,is your future probably more than it is even ours." Mayor Dirksen said the new Durham Road crosswalk was suggested by Tigard High School students. 7:55:47 PM 6. LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING: DOWNTOWN COLLECTOR STREET STANDARDS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENTS (CPA2009-00002/DCA2009-00002) a. Mayor Dirksen opened the public hearing. 7:55:59 PM b. City Attorney Ramis reviewed the hearing procedures. c. Declarations or Challenges: None. 7:59:25 PM d. 7:59:45 PM Associate Planner Gaines presented the staff report. A copy of the report is on file in the City Recorder's office. The proposed amendment is to allow vehicle parking and remove the requirement to have a separate bike lane on Downtown collector streets within the Downtown Urban Renewal District. Typically, parking is not allowed on collectors due to the higher volume and the higher traffic speeds, but the Downtown collector streets function differently—they connect arterials such as Hall Boulevard and Pacific Highway. These collectors also bring people to a destination. The proposed amendment will allow parking within the Downtown, which is essential for densely developed areas. This amendment will accommodate existing parking that is already on Ash Avenue, Burnham Street, and Main Street. The amendment,if adopted,will not mean that all bicycle lanes will be removed within the Downtown. The amendment will provide flexibility in the design of the streets for future use. Where there is not a separate bike lane, there should be a shared vehicle traffic lane designed into those streets to accommodate both vehicles and bicycles. The City is currently undergoing its Periodic Review. The Transportation System Plan and the Transportation chapter of the Comprehensive Plan are being updated. The City is putting together a circulation plan for the Downtown, which will improve connectivity through streets and pedestrian pathways. It will also establish street standards for the downtown. The City is designing and reconstructing some streets within the Downtown. Burnham Street reconstruction will be occurring soon. Burnham Street is being designed without bicycle travel lanes, but will have vehicle parking. Wider vehicle lanes on Burnham Street are designed to accommodate bicycles. A redesign of Main Street is under consideration. It is unclear, at this time,whether separate bike lanes can be accommodated on Main Street because of the existing development, right-of-way width,and features such as Fanno Creek.

Comments were received during the comment period. One was from Metro Transportation Planner John Mermin, who generally supported the amendment except for the removal of the requirement for bike lanes along Main Street. Tigard's Transportation System Plan does not require bicycle lanes along Main Street. Staff understands Metro's concern and will work closely with Metro as Main Street is designed to assure the bike traffic is accommodated and also provide parking for Downtown merchants and people coming to the Downtown. A comment was received from Hal Ballard, Executive Director of Washington Bicycle Transportation Coalition. Mr. Ballard generally supported the proposed amendments. Mr. Ballard said bicycles are better accommodated when they are treated like a vehicle. Associate Planner Gaines said the design of Burnham Street fits within the recommendations in Mr. Ballard's comments. Associate Planner Gaines reviewed options before the City Council: • Adopt as recommended by the Planning Commission (unanimous) • Deny with no changes to the current Code and Plans • Adopt as modified as a result of the City Council deliberations In response to a question from Councilor Buehner,Associate Planner Gaines advised that Commercial Street is classified as a local street in Tigard's Transportation System Plan. Councilor Buehner suggested this might need to be reevaluated as the City goes through the Transportation System Plan review process. Associate Planner Gaines said there has been some discussion by staff about making a separate classification for Downtown Streets. Mayor Dirksen said that a separate classification for Downtown Streets "is not a bad idea." Council President Wilson added that it might be good for any area where there is a commercial district with slow, high-volume traffic. 8:06:04 PM e. Public Testimony: None. f. Associate Planner Gaines recommended that the City Council approve the proposed amendment as recommended by the Planning Commission. g. Council Questions: None. 8:06:40 I'M h.

As Mr. Ballard commented, Mayor Dirksen said he is more comfortable when riding with the flow of traffic rather than in a bike lane as long as he is on a street where the speed limit is such that you can keep within the flow of traffic. He described the perils of turning left when the street has a bike lane configuration. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of City Council present.

Staff Report: Community Development Department Community Development Director Bunch presented the staff report. He acknowledged the contributions of Senior Planner Wyss and City Engineer Duenas on this project. The proposal comes to the City Council with the unanimous recommendation of the Planning Commission. Previously the City Council held a workshop, at which time no requests for alternative language were considered. This project is intended to update the Transportation System Plan. The recommendations of the Planning Commission were to include the changes found in Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The three main parts are: TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES —June 23, 2009 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 7 of 12 • 1. Incorporate this Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. 2. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12 to include language recommended by the 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee (as recommended action measures only). 3. Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6 under Goal 12.2 to reflect a recommended five through-lanes for Highway 99W. This is recommended for consistency with our Transportation System Plan requirements. This Plan came to the Planning Commission through a process by which the City involved the citizens and businesses along Highway 99W and its government partners. Several alternatives were reviewed and Alternative B was chosen. This alternative recognizes that Highway 99W needs to be improved and managed to provide for higher levels of capacity; however, it might not be possible to do this because of the physical constrictions on the highway and other transportation needs in the region. This plan focuses on access management, intersection improvement capacity, transit enhancements, and bike/pedestrian improvements rather than adding through-lanes along Highway 99W. Councilor Buehner commented that she had been involved on the Citizen Task Force. She thanked City Engineer Duenas for all of his hard work on this project. 8:13:07 PM e. Public Testimony: None 8:13:24 PM f.

He referred to a meeting recently with Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Region 1 Director Jason Tell. At that time, Mr. Tell said that many people come to ODOT asking for money, but they do not come with solutions. Council President Wilson said at our last Transportation System Plan update, we had projects, but Highway 99W was not studied separately. It is a difficult problem, because if you widen the highway,you actually attract latent demand off other arterials—then,it can get worse. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES —June 23, 2009 of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 8 of 12 • • Council President Wilson said that, although this plan will almost certainly become controversial as we go to implement it (especially with the access control measures),it is really the best solution that can be done with a difficult problem. He said he was very pleased that we finally can begin working on projects. We already have two major intersections in design. ODOT just recently announced that they will be improving the McDonald Street intersection as well. Mayor Dirksen said he wondered if we had ever done a transportation study with a scope that equals this. Councilor Webb said that at one time she recalled ODOT did a study to widen it to seven lanes. Mayor Dirksen also recalled that ODOT study and said it seemed like the process used was not nearly as comprehensive or as detailed as what was used to come up with these solutions. In response to a question from Councilor Henderson, Community Development Director Bunch advised that Exhibit A includes the 27 proposed modifications (Page 5). Exhibit A also includes a number of action measures recommended by the Citizen Advisory Committee. These 27 amendments will change the City's Transportation System Plan.

UPDATE: URBAN/RURAL RESERVES COMMI fl EE • Councilor Buehner noted the final recommendations on the urban and rural reserves will be coming from the Planning Directors at the beginning of August. Toward the end of August, she would be asking for some agenda time to review this matter with City Council so she has direction about how to cast our vote for the final recommendations of the Committee. These final recommendations will go to the "Core 4" made up of Washington County Board of Commissioners Chair Brian, Metro Councilor Harrington, and the County Chairs from Multnomah and Clackamas Counties. Community Development Director Bunch said that by May 2010,Metro will designate the urban reserve in the County and the County will designate the rural reserve. The Core 4's recommendation will come after August 21, 2009. Community Development Director Bunch reviewed the activities that are coming up for this matter. Community Development Director Bunch reviewed the pre-concept plans other jurisdictions are working on regarding areas they are aspiring to urbanize. The City of Tigard staff decided we would not do the pre- concept plan process because the lands Tigard identified as being our future obligation or expect to come into the Urban Growth Boundary are not contiguous to the City. Instead, Tigard will work to meet the factual requirements of the Administrative Rule and provide a narrative stating how we might plan to urbanize. Community Development Director Bunch referred to a memo distributed to the City Council in the meeting packet (memo dated June 1, 2009, Concept Planning for Urban Reserve Candidate Areas.) Community Development Director Bunch asked for direction from the City Council. Councilor Buehner said the critical issue is that Metro is not requiring the kind of concept planning that the County is talking about. She said Community Development Director Bunch checked with Metro and asked TIGARD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES —June 23, 2009 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 9 of 12 • • if the narrative would meet their requirements for concept planning. Her understanding is that a narrative would meet the requirements and, therefore,it did not make sense "for us to go through all of the hoops" of doing a full concept plan if it met Metro's requirements. Mayor Dirksen said he has been following the matter closely. He said he talked to Chair Brian regarding these areas where Tigard expects the Urban Growth Boundary to expand, that it was not so much a reflection of the desires of the City of Tigard, but an identification of the need of the County as a whole. Mayor Dirksen said he think Chair Brian understood the Mayor's point. Because of the way Tigard expects this land will be used, he envisions low- and middle-density housing, with neighborhood commercial/retail services. This would not have a big impact on the rest of our City or the County other than providing a place for workforce housing and local services. As such, no detailed pre-concept plan is warranted. Mayor Dirksen said that once urban reserves are identified, a concept plan would need to be done by the City and County, working together. Mayor Dirksen said he agreed with Councilor Buehner's and Community Development Director Bunch's suggestion that a narrative describing our perception of how development should occur would be adequate. Community Development Director Bunch added that the pre-concept plans being prepared by the other jurisdictions are "non-binding." These plans would show how the County expects to use the 47,000 acres that has been identified. 8:27:19 PM Council President Wilson said he did not see why the concept of reserves, whether it is urban or rural, is any more than land that will go one way or the other. Community Development Director Bunch confirmed that the pre-concept planning is not required. It is only required when the land is brought into the Urban Growth Boundary. There are eight criteria established in the Oregon Administrative Rules that are test criteria. 8:28:44 PM City Manager Prosser said at the staff-level discussion, Washington County is concerned that Tigard has indicated that the preparing of a pre-concept plan was inappropriate. There has been some indication (informal from the Washington County staff) that the County might not nominate this land to be considered as an urban reserve. Community Development Director Bunch acknowledged that the Washington County staff reaction was, "Why aren't you being a team member?" He said he checked with Metro about whether Tigard would be supported since Tigard would be the logical provider of services to this area as well as Areas 63 and 64. From Metro's perspective, they are looking for a narrative and the non-binding concept planning is not necessary. Tigard wants to continue to participate with Washington County in a manner that is appropriate to Tigard's needs. 8:30:25 PM Councilor Buehner referred to farmland along Roy Rogers Road. We do not know what kind of development would be appropriate for this area. If the light rail is built and there is a full-fledged station at Sherwood,we might want to put more intense development in this area because it would be closely located to high-capacity transit. Since we will not know for several years about the light rail, a concept plan at this time is premature. 8:31:18 PM Mayor Dirksen pointed out that the amount of urban reserves that Washington County will propose to be included in the expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary is considerably larger than Clackamas and Multnomah Counties' proposal. He believes that Washington County anticipates that Metro will question T IGA RD CITY COUNCIL/LCRB MINUTES —June 23, 2009 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 10 of12 • • the need for that amount of land and the pre-concept plans from cities will justify the need for that many acres being added to the urban reserves. 8:32:22 PM Council President Wilson asked if land does not become an urban reserve, does it automatically become a rural reserve? Mayor Dirksen said, no, there could be land that could be considered as "other." Councilor Buehner added that land that is not in an urban reserve could theoretically come into the Urban Growth Boundary during the next 50 years. Mayor Dirksen said that land designated as "other" could be re- designated to an urban reserve in the next round of considerations. 8:32:52 PM Council President Wilson pointed out several ironies. We have areas adjacent to our boundaries that have been within the Urban Growth Boundary for ten years that are still not planned. We would have liked to have found a way to do this planning ourselves had we been able to bring this area into our City limits. (The County is now undertaking this planning process.) Now the County appears to be concerned that we are not engaging in a planning process for land that is even further out from Tigard. City Manager Prosser responded to a question from Mayor Dirksen and confirmed that the Construction Excise Tax will be extended. This would provide funding to plan areas recently brought into the Urban Growth Boundary. Later, funding will be available to any jurisdiction in Metro to be used to plan centers, corridors, and the concept planning for urban reserves. Therefore, the City and the County have an opportunity to do a joint grant application for funds to plan for these areas (urban reserves and areas already in the Urban Growth Boundary). 8:35:00 PM Councilor Webb agreed that the pre-concept planning was premature and it would unwise to expend funds to do this now. She said we should do the minimum amount of planning required and apply for the grant funds for more detailed planning later. 8:35:20 PM Councilor Buehner pointed out that in the next few years, the decisions will be made regarding whether the light rail is feasible. Then Tigard will have a better idea of where the growth will occur. 8:35:56 Pl`I Mayor Dirksen confirmed with the City Council that the consensus was to move forward with a narrative form of a pre-concept plan. 9.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the Planning Commission's recommendation and adopt the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment to update the Tigard Transportation System Plan and Comprehensive Plan. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY Traffic congestion consistently ranks as the number one issue with Tigard citizens in community surveys. Specifically, congestion on Highway 99W is identified as a major problem. To address the issue, the Tigard City Council established a goal in 2005 to improve the Highway 99W corridor, and continued that goal into 2006. To develop solutions to the traffic congestion on the highway, the City applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan). Through a planning and public involvement process conducted with ODOT,TriMet, Metro,Washington County, and other regional partners, the project developed concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and recommended additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. The primary focus of the Tigard 99W Plan is identifying projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion'and improving traffic circulation within the highway corridor from Durham Road to Interstate 5. Three alternatives were evaluated to assess the impact each would have on the transportation deficiencies in the corridor.Alternative A evaluated widening Highway 99W to seven lanes from Greenburg Rd. to Interstate 5 and Alternative C evaluated widening to seven lanes for the entire length through Tigard. Both were rejected for cost,right-of-way impacts, urban design, and quality of life concerns. The preferred alternative (Alternative B)was an access management strategy.Alternative B proposes all transportation modes be enhanced through a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management,intersection improvements,bike, pedestrian, and transit improvements, and other off-highway improvements. I:\LRPLN\Council Materials\2009\6-23-09 99W Plan PublicHearing AIS CPA 2008-00011.docx _ 1 N • • The development of the Tigard 99W Plan included both public involvement and interagency coordination. A project specific Tigard Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) and Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) were appointed to review and comment on the plan as it developed. In addition, three open houses and citizen stakeholder interviews were held. Both the CAC and TAC recommended that Alternative B be the preferred option. The CAC also submitted certain policy-related recommendations pertaining to the future improvement and management of Highway 99W. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) originate from the recommendations found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan and are intended to implement Alternative B.The CAC,TAC, and ODOT staff all recommended the City implement the suggested modifications found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan include incorporating the CAC policy-related recommendations and rewording Goal 12.2, Policy 6.A to be consistent with the TSP (see Attachment 2). The Planning Commission held a workshop on this amendment on March 2, 2009 and a public hearing on April 6, 2009. Some minor language changes were made for clarification purposes at the workshop (see Attachment 3). Staff also recommended some additional changes at the public hearing based on comments submitted by ODOT and the City of Beaverton (see Attachment 3). The Commission agreed with the additional suggested changes, but asked for the word "function" (based on ODOT comments) to be defined. Staff has researched engineering literature and recommends the following definition: Function:An action or a task that a system is designed to peform. The Tigard Transportation System Plan does not contain a glossary,but the definition is included as part of the Staff - Report that will be adopted as findings for CPA2008-00011. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend adoption of CPA2008-00011 to City Council. Proposal Description The City is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12:Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee;and 4.Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended 5 lanes for Highway 99W. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Approve the Planning Commission recommendation and adopt CPA2008-00011. 2. Modify the Planning Commission recommendation and adopt CPA2008-00011. 3. Remand to the Planning Commission to hold additional hearings and deliberations for future consideration at City Council.

In summary they are: • Proposed Amendment 1 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan List along ORE 99W to include a sidewalk project scope and cost. • Proposed Amendment 2 updates the Bicycle Master Plan description of bicycle lanes south of Gaarde/McDonald to Durham Road to note that these facilities are existing, not planned. • Proposed Amendment 3 updates the Bicycle Action Plan Improvement List and Cost. • Proposed Amendment 4, 5, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 26 advises that both the TSP and RIP should be amended to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current designation to widen ORE 99W to 7 lanes. • Proposed Amendment 6 and 20 add intersection improvements to Durham Road and SW Canterbury Lane. • Proposed Amendment 7 updates potential pedestrian projects along ORE 99W to increase project scope. • Proposed Amendments 8 and 9 add pedestrian activated signalized crossings. • Proposed Amendment 11 updates a Park and Ride location. • Proposed Amendment 10 updates plan to include existing bike lanes just north of SW Greenburg Road. • Proposed Amendment 12 updates potential transit projects to implement transit queue bypass lanes along ORE 99W at several locations. • Proposed amendments 14, 15 and 16 identify access management measures for highway 99W. • Proposed Amendment 21 updates the table to include specific projects and add project intersections. • Proposed Amendment 22, 23 and 24 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan project list funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 25 updates the Bicycle Action Plan funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 27 updates the City of Tigard Future Intersection Improvements table to include specific projects and add projects at the several intersections. Part 2: Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. The Transportation Planning Rule, OAR 660 Division 12, requires local jurisdictions to prepare and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their CPA2008-00011 PAGE 1 OF 31 • comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. The numbering will start as indicated: 24. Prior to implementation of projects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware of pending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. 25. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed 1-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible;and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the I-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99W improvements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 28. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99Wproblems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. CPA2008-0001 I PAGE 2 OF 31 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique.A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. Ifbght rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, resources shall be used to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. Part 4:Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 99W Management and Improvement Plan recommends the Tigard TSP is amended to retain four/five lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes. To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2. Staff feels the language change is necessary to provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function,ingress/egress spacing, and access management. This would effectively generate four thru-lanes and up to two temporary/short duration/turn lanes for access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A. Highway 99W should :- .. . -- : . :• . • - - - - rliers et o--s retain a S lane section throughout the study area, except where necessary to accommodate adjacent development impacts, spot capacity improvements, and intersection improvements. (tool box). This improvement should be constructed in the short term.

Chapter 7 Transit ,44-..11P1 CITY OF TIGARD OQEGON This chapter summarizes existing and future transit needs in the City of Tigard. The following sections outline the criteria to be used to evaluate needs, provides a number of strategies for implementing a transit plan and recommends a transit plan for the City of Tigard. The needs, criteria and strategies were identified in working with the City's TSP Task Force. This committee provided input regarding the transportation system in Tigard, specifically exploring transit needs. The methodology used to develop the transit plan combined citizen and staff input. NEEDS There are currently 12 fixed bus routes which provide service within the City of Tigard. These bus routes are summarized in Chapter 3 (Existing Conditions). There are four express routes providing service to Tigard residents (12E, 64X, 92X and 95X). Existing transit headways on bus routes in Tigard range from 10-15 minutes on Routes 12 and 92X to about 30 minutes on Routes 76 and 78 during peak commute periods. Metro's Draft Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) identifies the following routes on its Public Transportation System Map (Figure 7-1)1: • ORE 217 HCT Corridor • Greenburg/Hall/Durham HCT Corridor • ORE 99W (East of ORE 217) HCT Corridor • Hall Boulevard (North of ORE 217) Frequent Bus • Hunziker Street Frequent Bus • ORE 99W (West of ORE 217) Primary Bus • Scholls Ferry Road (East of Murray) Primary Bus • 121st/Walnut Street Primary Bus • 68th Parkway/Hampton Street Primary Bus • 72"d Avenue (South of Hampton) Primary Bus Based upon these designations, the City of Tigard designates all bus stops on HCT Corridors and Frequent Bus routes as Major Transit Stops. In addition, all park and ride sites and transit stations are designated major transit stops (Downtown Tigard, Washington Square, park and ride at ORE 99W/ "de74th Avenue). While Tri-Met bus ridership in Tigard increased by 35% from 1990 to 1994 and another 15% from 1994 to 1999 (comparing 12 routes), transit ridership represents 6 percent of Tigard PM peak hour trip making. 1 Public Transportation System Map, Metro,Version 4.0, December 1, 1997.

Update text to "...The TSP recommends: 1)widening ORE 99W'to seven Lines between I S and Crccnburg Road; 2)retaining the five lane cross section en roadway southwest of Creenburg Road;3)extensive intersection improvements —turning lanes;42)aggressive access management, including the development of an access management plan for the conidorL3 1 improvements to ORE 217 and 1-5 noted above;61)off-system improvements such as freeway improvements and arterials such as iValnut extension;and-752 consideration of a western/Yamhill County commuter rail corridor." 4. ORE 99W fails in the future without improvement. Of all the regional transportation issues in Tigard, ORE 99W is probably the closest to a "rubik's cube". Tigard depends heavily on ORE 99W as its primary arterial. There are no parallel routes to ORE 99W and its diagonal alignment and the physical features of Tigard make using ORE 99W essential for also any trip in Tigard. ORE 99W's statewide status and linkage to Yamhill,County and the Oregon Coast have similar issues—the only route servicing northeast-southwest travel. The future demand for this corridor is well beyond its five lane capacity without system-wide improvements. Ten various alternatives to improving ORE 99W were investigated, ranging from the no improvement to radical capacity improvements. Table 8-5 summarizes the wide range of alternatives. Unfortunately, no one improvement results in desirable (better than level of service F) operation. The most significant finding was that no matter whether ORE 99W was widened southwest of Greenburg Road, the end result was failure. Added capacity on ORE 99W (tested by modeling seven lanes) resulted in significantly higher turning movements on/off ORE 99W and large through movements on ORE 99W. The end result was that not only would you have to widen to seven lanes but at nearly every intersection additional turning lanes were needed (double lefts, right turn) creating nearly a 10 lane cross section at intersection. And even after that the end result was level of service F conditions. Therefore the recommended approach combines several elements to produce a minimally acceptable operating condition. The TSP recommends: 1) widening ORE 99W to seven lanes between I S and Crecnburg Road;2) retaining the five lane cross section on roadrrn y southwest of Crccnburg Road;3) extensive intersection improvements— auxiliary turning and/or through lanes at key intersections on Highway 99W;-2) aggressive access management, including the development of an access management plan for the corridor;53)improvements to ORE 217 and 1-5 noted above;64) off-system improvements such as freeway improvements and arterials such as Walnut extension;and 75) consideration of a western/Yamhill County commuter rail corridor." • CPA2008-00011 PAGE 17 OF 31 • Proposed Amendment 15: TSP Chapter 8: Motor Vehicles Committee Recommendation: Page 8-37: Last Paragraph, first bullet. Update text to "ORE 99W cs access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. " Tigard Triangle Area. This subarea is also subject of a recently adopted plan. The basic package of street improvements needed to mitigate level of service F conditions in this area include: • ORE 99W seven lanes access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. • Dartmouth Street five lanes • 72nd Avenue five lanes • Atlanta Street extended from Haines Street to 72nd Avenue • Backage roads to ORE 99W (providing access to business but not directly on ORE 99W) CPA2008-0001 I PAGE 18 OF 31 • Proposed Amendment 16: TSP Chapter 8: Motor Vehicles Committee Recommendation: Page 8-38: Table, third item: Update text to `Level of service F conditions result in Tigard Triangle without 7 lanes. This option would limit the potential of the Tigard Triangle to serve the projected land use in the future without locali.Led intersection improvements. These improvements could include additional approach turn and/or through lanes northbound and southbound on ORE 99W for short periods. There PD'erc no subarea alternatives that precluded the!reed for 7 lanes between 15 and 217." Other options considered in this sub area included a Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing of ORE 217, an extension of Atlanta Street to Dartmouth Street and five lanes on ORE 99W. The following summarizes the findings of these options: Dartmouth Attracts less than 5,000 vehicles per day by itself; extend Walnut to link to Hunziker up with the overcrossing of ORE 217 and the volume increase to 8,000 ORE 217 per day. Implement complete ramp metering in the Tigard Triangle Overcrossi area (on ORE. 217 and 1-5) and the volume increases to 13,000 ng vehicles per day. Most of the traffic benefits of the overcrossing are produced with the Hunziker to Hampton overcrossing and the Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing has limited additional benefit. Unfortunately, ORE 99W still requires mitigation with or without overcrossing; access to ORE 217 would not be allowed by ODOT due to substandard spacing resulting in unsafe operation at large expense. One option where this overcrossing may be desirable in the future would be where ramp metering is fully operational and improvements to ORE 217 include a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane alternative where direct connections to ORE 99W are desired. The Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing could provide access to the Tigard Triangle and ORE 99W area via drop in ramps. Therefore, a potential alignment should be preserved for future consideration (where the alignment would go through parking lots). However, the overcrossing is not part of the street improvement plan in the TSP. Atlanta While the Atlanta extension to 72nd is. 10,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day Extension the"segment to the south connecting to Dartmouth is well below that to level. Recent development has blocked an optimal alignment. Dartmouth Backage roads will be more effective in this setting. The TSP includes the Atlanta extension to 72nd and backage roads with redevelopment. Five lane Level of service F conditions result in Tigard Triangle without 7 lanes. This ORE 99W option would limit the potential of the Tigard Triangle to serve the projected land use in the future without localized intersection improvements. These improvements could include additional approach turn and/or through lanes northbound and southbound on ORE 99W for short periods. Thcrc wcro no subarea alternatives that precluded the need for 7 lanes between 15 and 217."

BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History Traffic congestion consistently ranked as the number one issue with Tigard citizens in three community surveys performed during the past three years. Citizens specifically identified congestion on Highway 99W as a major problem, and expressed great concern about its adverse effect on access to the Tigard Downtown area and the region as a whole. This highway carries 50,000 vehicles per day, half of which is regional through traffic. As a result, the highway is overwhelmed by the existing traffic volumes. At peak travel hours, cut-through traffic uses the City of Tigard's street system to avoid the Highway 99W traffic congestion. This often causes safety and livability issues in residential neighborhoods. In recognition of the citizen concerns regarding the heavy traffic congestion on Highway 99W, the Tigard City Council established a goal in 2005 to improve the Highway 99W corridor, and continued that goal into 2006. To develop solutions to the traffic congestion on the highway, the City applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan). Through a planning and public involvement process, conducted with ODOT,TriMet, Metro, Washington County,and other regional partners,the project developed concept- level recommendations for transportation improvements and recommended additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. Development of the Tigard 99W Plan included detailed analysis of transportation needs, opportunities, and comparative evaluation of concept plan alternatives. The primary focus of the Tigard 99W Plan is identifying projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion and improving traffic circulation within the highway corridor from Durham Road to the Interstate 5. It builds on previous studies and was developed through a planning process of four key steps: • Establish inventory of existing conditions • Analyze needs, opportunities and constraints • Develop alternative improvement concepts • Compare and evaluate alternative concepts Three alternatives were evaluated to assess the impact each would have on the transportation deficiencies in the corridor. Alternative A evaluated widening Highway 99W to seven lanes from Greenburg Rd. to Interstate 5 and Alternative C evaluated widening to seven lanes for the entire length through Tigard. Both were rejected for cost,right-of-way impacts, urban design, and quality of life concerns. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) was an access management strategy. Alternative B proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management, intersection improvements, bike, pedestrian, and transit improvements, and other off-highway improvements. The development of the Tigard 99W Plan included both public involvement and interagency coordination.A project specific Tigard citizen advisory committee (CAC) and technical advisory committee (TAC) were appointed to review and comment on the plan as it developed. In addition, three open houses and citizen stakeholder interviews were held. Both the CAC and TAC STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 2 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • recommended that Alternative B be the preferred option. The CAC also submitted certain policy-related recommendations pertaining to the future improvement and management of Highway 99W. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) originate from the recommendations found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan and are intended to implement Alternative B. The CAC,TAC, and ODOT staff all recommended the City implement the suggested modifications found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan include incorporating the CAC policy-related recommendations and rewording Goal 12.2, Policy 6.A to be consistent with the TSP. The Tigard City Council held.a work session on the Tigard 99W Plan on November 20, 2007. Council discussed the recommendations and directed staff to prepare the Tigard TSP and Comprehensive Plan amendments necessary to implement the Tigard 99W Plan and bring them before the Tigard Planning Commission. The Planning Commission held a Study Session on this topic on March 2, 2009 and a public hearing on April 6, 2009. The Commission asked for the term "function" (based on ODOT comments) to be defined. Staff has researched engineering literature and recommends the following definition: Function:An action or a task that a system is designed to perform. Proposal Description The City is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee;and 4. Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended 5 lanes for Highway 99W. The proposed text amendments are represented as bold italics for proposed new language and stye -through for proposed deleted language. Proposed graphic changes are called out and described. Part 1: Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; The proposed changes are specific strikethrough and figure changes to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and are found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The proposed amendments reflect improvements associated with Alternative B in the Tigard 99W Plan. Many of the changes are in tables or reference illustration changes and are listed below. There are 27 proposed modifications (each amendment can be found as a separate page in Exhibit A). In summary they are: • Proposed Amendment 1 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan List along ORE 99W to include a sidewalk project scope and cost. • Proposed Amendment 2 updates the Bicycle Master Plan description of bicycle lanes south of STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 3 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS •E/ .' Gaarde/McDonald to Durham Road to note that these facilities are existing, not planned. • Proposed Amendment 3 updates the Bicycle Action Plan Improvement List and Cost. • Proposed Amendment 4, 5, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 26 advises that both the TSP and RTP should be amended to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current designation to widen ORE 99W to 7 lanes. • Proposed Amendment 6 and 20 add intersection improvements to Durham Road and SW Canterbury Lane. • Proposed Amendment 7 updates potential pedestrian projects along ORE 99W to increase project scope. • Proposed Amendments 8 and 9 add pedestrian activated signalized crossings. • Proposed Amendment 11 updates a Park and Ride location. • Proposed Amendment 10 updates plan to include existing bike lanes just north of SW Greenburg Road. • Proposed Amendment 12 updates potential transit projects to implement transit queue bypass lanes along ORE 99W at several locations. • Proposed amendments 14, 15 and 16 identify access management measures for highway 99W. • Proposed Amendment 21 updates the table to include specific projects and add project intersections. • Proposed Amendment 22, 23 and 24 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan project list funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 25 updates the Bicycle Action Plan funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 27 updates the City of Tigard Future Intersection Improvements table to include specific projects and add projects at the several intersections. Part 2: Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. The Transportation Planning Rule, OAR 660 Division 12, requires local jurisdictions to prepare and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. The numbering will start as indicated: 24. Prior to implementation of projects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware of pending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 4 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • 25. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed I-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible;and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the I-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99W improvements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 2Z The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 28. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99Wproblems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique.A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long-term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. Iflight rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, resources shall be used to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 5 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS Part 4:Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 99W Management and Improvement Plan recommends amendments to the Tigard TSP to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes. To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2. Although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff advises that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function, ingress/egress spacing, and access management. The proposed amendment includes language necessary to provide that flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A. Highway 99W should be widened to 6 lanes plus auxiliary lanes through retain a 5 lane section throughout the study area, except where necessary to accommodate adjacent development impacts, spot capacity improvements, and intersection improvements. (tool box). This improvement should be constructed in thc short term. In thc event that widening Highway 99 to six 5 lanes plus auxiliary lanes through intersections is prohibitive duc to physical constraints, the Dartmouth extension could potentially provide needed northeast to southwest travel demand.

Findings: The proposed amendments increase the scope for pedestrian and bike projects (proposed amendments 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 9). The amendments call for bicycle lanes and sidewalks along the entire length of the Highway 99W corridor through Tigard. Sidewalk infill projects added to the TSP pedestrian component will help to ensure pedestrian safety along the corridor. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12.1, Policy 2. Policy 7. Implement the Transportation System Plan (TSP)in a coordinated manner. By coordinating and cooperating with adjacent agencies (including Washington County, Beaverton, Tualatin, Lake Oswego, City of Portland, Tri-Met,Metro and ODOT) when necessary to develop transportation projects which benefit the region as a whole in addition to the City of Tigard. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 13 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS Findings: The City of Tigard has an adopted TSP that is consistent with OAR 660-12 (Transportation Planning Rule). The proposed amendments are derived from the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The development of the Tigard 99W Plan was funded by the ODOT Transportation and Growth Management Program and included participation from regional and state partners. Both ODOT and Metro support the proposed amendments to improve traffic conditions on Highway 99W. The intent of the proposed amendments are to implement the Tigard 99W Plan's Alternative B,which proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management, intersection improvements, parallel roadway connections, and other off- highway improvements. The proposed amendments also increase the scope for pedestrian and bike projects along the highway. The proposed amendments will make more efficient use of the Hwy 99W infrastructure and benefit the region and community,which is consistent with this policy. Additionally, the City sent out request for comments on the proposed amendment to all potentially affected jurisdictions and agencies. All were given 14 days to respond. Any comments that were received are addressed in Section VII: Outside Agency Comments of this Staff Report. This policy is satisfied. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12.1, Policy 7. Conclusion(s): 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: Regional Transportation System Plan Sets the policies, systems and actions to adequately serve walking, bicycling, driving, use of transit and national and international freight movement in this region consistent with federal and state requirements. Findings: According to the RTP, latent travel demand in the Highway 99W corridor is too great to be reasonably offset solely by capacity projects. While the RTP proposed new capacity on 99W between I-5 and Greenburg Road, anticipated to be seven lanes by 2025, no specific capacity projects are proposed south of Greenburg Road. However, due to latent demand, Highway 99W is not expected to meet the region's motor vehicle level of service policies during mid-day and peak demand periods in the future, and an alternative approach to managing and accommodating traffic in the corridor is needed. The RTP concluded that more emphasis on demand management, access management, local street connectivity and congestion management is needed to address congestion in the Highway 99W corridor. The proposed amendments adhere to the recommendations in the RTP for alternative approaches, other than capacity projects, to managing and accommodating traffic in the corridor. However, the proposed amendments will adjust the recommended width of the portion of the corridor between Greenburg Rd and Interstate 5 as five-lanes and an adjustment to the RTP will need to be made during its current update. The City must ensure the RTP reflects the City's plan for Highway 99W. ODOT and Metro staff are aware of the needed change and Tigard staff will collaborate on ensuring the adjustment is made. The proposed amendments will implement the Tigard 99W Plan's recommended Alternative B ,which proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management,intersection improvements,parallel roadway connections, and other off- STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 14 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • highway improvements. This alternative supports the RTP's conclusion of access and congestion management and general area planning. The proposed amendments are consistent with the RTP. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with the Regional Transportation System Plan. Conclusion(s): Based upon the analysis above, staff finds the proposed amendments are consistent with the applicable Metro regulations. APPLICABLE STATEWIDE LAND USE PLANNING GOALS Statewide Planning Goals 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: A Public Involvement Program for the creation of the Tigard 99W"Plan was developed as part of the scope of work. The Program outlined the information, outreach methods, and involvement opportunities available to the citizens during the process. Information was distributed throughout the process via Cityscape articles, press releases, articles in the local paper, and three project open houses. Outreach methods also included stakeholder interviews and a survey sent to property owners and businesses located along Highway 99W. 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 March 12, 2009 issue of The Tigard Times. Notice will be published again prior to the City Council public hearing. The notice invited public input and included the phone number of a contact person to answer questions. The notice also included the address of the City's webpage where the entire draft of the text changes could be viewed. The public hearings will be conducted pursuant to Oregon statutory requirements to ensure testimony pertaining to this matter is presented in a manner that allows it to be included as part of the evidentiary record. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with Statewide Planning Goal 1. Statewide Planning Goal 2—Land Use Planning: This goal outlines the land use planning process and policy framework. The Comprehensive Plan was acknowledged by DLCD as being consistent with the statewide planning goals. Findings: The proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and Comprehensive Plan are being processed as a Type IV procedure,which requires that it be consistent with any applicable statewide planning goals, federal or state statutes or regulations, Metro regulations, comprehensive plan policies, and City implementing ordinances. 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. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with Statewide Planning Goal 2. Statewide Planning Goal 11-Public Facilities and Services STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 15 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS The goal requires planning and development of a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for development. Required public facilities and services are to be provided at levels necessary and suitable for existing uses. Findings: The proposed amendments support the efficient arrangement of transportation facilities along Highway 99W. The Oregon Department of Transportation and Metro both were involved in the development of the Tigard 99W Plan and support the proposed amendments. The proposed amendments are intended to enhance all transportation modes though a series of projects over the long term, including medians, access management, intersection improvements, parallel roadway connections, and other off-highway improvements. The proposed amendments will ensure transportation facilities are provided at levels along Highway 99W necessary and suitable for existing uses. Following amendment adoption, any necessary changes will be made to the Public Facilities Plan to reflect changes in any identified capital improvement projects. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with Statewide Planning Goal 11. Statewide Planning Goal 12- Transportation: The goal aims to provide "a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. "It asks for communities to address the needs of the "transportation disadvantaged. " Findings: The existing Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) has been prepared in accordance with the Statewide Planning Goals and requirements and will result in a less congested, safer, multi-modal, and more orderly transportation system. Tigard's TSP is consistent with the RTP and has been reviewed by ODOT, Metro and DLCD for consistency with Statewide Planning Goal 12. The proposed amendments refine the TSP to reflect existing conditions,increase project scope for pedestrian and bike projects, encourage access management, and enhance intersection safety to address congestion issues on Highway 99W. The Transportation Planning Rule, OAR 660 Division 12, requires local jurisdictions to prepare and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information will be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with Statewide Planning Goal 12. Conclusion(s): Based upon the analysis above, staff finds the proposed amendments are consistent with the Statewide Land Use Planning Goals. APPLICABLE STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION GUIDELINES Oregon Transportation Plan The goal is a safe, efficient and sustainable transportation system that enhances Oregon's quality of life and economic vitality. Findings: The Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP) is the state's long-range multimodal transportation plan for Oregon's airports, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, highways and roadways, pipelines, ports and STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 16 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS S • waterway facilities, public transportation, and railroads. It is a comprehensive, 25-year plan for the transportation system to provide economic efficiency, orderly economic development, safety and environmental quality. Required by Oregon and federal statutes, the OTP guides development and investment in the transportation system. The existing Tigard TSP has been prepared in accordance with the Statewide Planning Goals and other applicable Plans, statutes and regulations. Tigard's TSP has been found to be consistent with the RTP and has been reviewed by ODOT, Metro and DLCD for consistency with Statewide Planning Goal 12 and associated Plans such as the Oregon Transportation Plan. Since Highway 99W is a state-owned facility, the City of Tigard applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant from the State of Oregon to develop solutions to the traffic congestion on Highway 99W. The result was the development of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan). The proposed amendments implement the recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments will encourage alternative transportation modes and enhance the comprehensive transportation plan for the City by making more efficient use of the Hwy 99W infrastructure. The proposed amendments are anticipated to improve traffic flow, reduce traffic congestion, reduce traffic crash rates, and improve options for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with the Oregon Transportation Plan. Oregon Highway Plan Defines policies and investment strategies for Oregon's state highway system for the next 20 years. It further refines the goals and policies of the Oregon Transportation Plan and is part of Oregon's Statewide Transportation Plan. Findings: The Oregon Highway Plan prioritizes major improvements to state-owned highways,including Highway 99W, to improve the efficiency of the system. The highest priority is to preserve the functionality of the existing highway system by means such as access management, local comprehensive plans, transportation demand management,improved traffic operations, and alternative modes of transportation. The second priority is to make minor improvements to existing highway facilities such as widening highway shoulders or adding auxiliary lanes, providing better access for alternative modes (e.g., bike lanes, sidewalks, and bus shelters), extending or connecting local streets, and making other off- system improvements. The third priority is to make major roadway improvements to existing highway facilities such as adding general purpose lanes and making alignment corrections to accommodate legal size vehicles. The lowest priority is to add new transportation facilities such as a new highway or bypass. The existing Tigard TSP has been prepared in accordance with the Statewide Planning Goals and other applicable Plans, statutes and regulations. Tigard's TSP has been found to be consistent with the RTP and has been reviewed by ODOT, Metro and DLCD for consistency with Statewide Planning Goal 12 and associated Plans such as the Oregon Highway Plan. The proposed amendments implement the recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments will encourage alternative transportation modes and enhance the comprehensive transportation plan for the City by making more efficient use of the Hwy 99W infrastructure. Alternative B, the recommended alternative, proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term, including medians, access management,intersection improvements, parallel STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 200 8-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 17 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • roadway connections, and other off-highway improvements. This is consistent with the Oregon Highway Plan and the proposed amendments will promote the goals and highest priorities of the Oregon Highway Plan. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with the Oregon Highway Plan. Transportation Planning Rule: OAR 660-12 Intended to implement Statewide Planning Goal 12 by providing guidelines for local governments to demonstrate compliance with Goal 12 through their Transportation System Plans.

The proposed amendments do not jeopardize this compliance. The proposed amendments refine the existing TSP projects and enhance its performance. Therefore, the proposed amendments are consistent with OAR 660-12. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with the Transportation Planning Rule. Conclusion(s): Based upon the analysis above, staff finds the proposed amendments are consistent with the Statewide Transportation Guidelines. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 18 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • SECTION VI. ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF COMMENTS The City of Tigard's Engineering Division, Current Planning Division, and Long Range Planning Division were involved throughout the process, from Tigard 99W Plan development to the writing of findings. All comments have been incorporated into the Staff Report. Conclusion(s): Based on the input from various City divisions throughout the process, staff finds the proposed amendments do not interfere with the best interests of the City. SECTION VII. OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not respond: City of Durham City of King City City of Lake Oswego City of Portland City of Tualatin . Washington County, Department of Land Use and Transportation Metro Land Use and Planning Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1, District 2A Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District Tualatin Valley Water District Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and had the following comments: Clean Water Services: Recommended the inclusion of any and all relevant provisions of the current intergovernmental agreement between the City of Tigard and Clean Water Services, and the relevant provisions of the current Design and Construction Standards (see Exhibit B). Findings: The proposed amendment does not reference issues relating to development, natural resources, vegetated corridors, erosion control,,and preservation of wetlands or natural drainage ways. These issues, and specifically the Design and Construction Standards are not applicable. City of Beaverton: Recommended the deleted turn lanes in proposed amendment 21 (Table 8-8 changes) should be maintained in the TSP improvements to assure the 5-lane section would handle future needs of the region (see Exhibit C). Findings: Maintaining the flexibility within the TSP to use auxiliary turn lanes at intersections is a benefit to the community and the function of Highway 99W. Comments submitted by the City of Beaverton suggest intersection improvements included in Table 8-8 should be maintained and not removed as recommended by the Highway 99W Plan. The Engineering Division agrees with the Beaverton comments. Leaving the projects in the TSP will provide flexibility and the projects can be reevaluated during the complete update of the TSP this year. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 19 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS i Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1: ODOT supports the proposed amendments. However there may be instances where an additional through lane is needed between intersections, which would not meet the "auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity". ODOT recommends further clarification to retain flexibility. ODOT also recommends proposed amendments 8 and 9 are reworded from "Pedestrian Activated Signalized Crossing" to "Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements" with an asterisk stating "requires approval from State Traffic Engineer" (see Exhibit D). Findings: Circumstances may exist where an auxiliary lane will be continuous between two intersections. City staff agrees with ODOT and have included the word function to cover this scenario. The asterisk language will now read: • 'Highway 991F may include auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, function, turn lanes, or access management at key locations, such as major intersections, where traffic flow and/or capacity would otherwise be constrained. For locations within 600 feet of any signalized intersection or freeway interchange, staff will determine, based on accepted engineering practices, the cross-section and auxiliary lanes that will be necessary to serve that intersection." Pedestrian connectivity is also an important component of the Tigard 99W Plan. However, signalized crossings are not always feasible for Highway 99W. City staff agrees with ODOT, and the Planning Commission as expressed at its March 2, 2009 workshop, that a signalized crossing may not be the best option as indicated in amendment 8 and 9 (TSP Table 5-2). The language has been re-worded for the Commission's consideration as recommended by ODOT: `Pedestrian Activated Signal Crossing Enhancements*" *Requires approval from State Traffic Engineer Conclusion(s): Based on responses, or no response, from outside agencies listed above, staff finds the proposed amendment, and the changes made based upon submitted comments, meets all requirements of these agencies and does not interfere with the best interests of the City. SECTION VIII. CONCLUSION Staff concludes that the proposed changes comply with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals, Statewide Transportation Guidelines, 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.

Although the proposed amendments emphasize that Highway 99W should only have a maximum of 4 or 5 lane for thru traffic except at the intersections where additional intersection capacity, and turn lanes are needed to maintain traffic flow. It appears that many of the turn lanes under proposed amendment 21 to the TSP Motor Vehicles chapter were deleted. Chapter 14 of the City of Tigard current TSP confirms that even if Highway 99W is widened to 7 lanes it will operate at level of service F in the future.Therefore we believe that the proposed turn lanes in the existing TSP improvements should be maintained to assure that the 5 lane section would handle future needs of the region. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposal.

By incorporating the plan recommendations for Alternative B the City and State will be better positioned to work together to obtain funding for the list of identified improvement projects that will improve the highway corridor for all travel modes. Development and adoption of the recommendations in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan is commendable. The plan seeks to balance the needs of all users of the system, adjoining property owners with limited funding for transportation. Instead of focusing primarily on adding system capacity, the plan recommendations focus on increasing safety through access management, strategic intersection improvements to address turning movements, providing transit queue bypass lanes to provide for more efficient transit, enhancing pedestrian/bicycle facilities and managing the system through signal timing coordination. The plan calls for retaining the four/five lanes on 99W instead of widening 99W to seven lanes as currently identified in the City's Transportation System Plan and the Regional Transportation Plan. Staff recommends in Part 4 that the five lanes be defined as "through lanes" which is necessary to "provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committee recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function, ingress/egress spacing, and access management." ODOT supports the staff recommendation for retaining the four/five lanes on 99W while allowing flexibility. However, there may be instances where an additional through lane is needed to connect between two intersections which would not meet the "auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity" language. Based on the proposed wording, the flexibility to adding additional lanes could be interpreted to be limited to intersections. Recommend further clarification to retain flexibility. • ; CPA2008-00011, Tigard 99W Tsr' Incorporation; ODOT RESPONSE 2 In Appendix A page 4, the plan discusses pedestrian enhancements and identifies potential new crossing locations in Figure 1. As discussed in the plan, the speeds, traffic volumes and crossing widths on 99W makes identifying safe crossing treatments for pedestrians limited. The ability to meet pedestrian signalization warrants as crossing treatments is difficult on this stretch of 99W. The plan indicates that an engineering study will be required for proposed unsignalized crossings. The proposed amendments for Table 5-2 Potential Pedestrian Projects, recommends projects to add pedestrian activated signalized crossing at SW 71st Ave and SW Watkins Ave on 99W. ODOT recommends that the plan allow for flexibility to do an engineering study to determine what the most appropriate pedestrian crossing enhancements are for each of these locations. If the access management plan identifies medians to be installed at these locations, this might be an opportunity to explore how to best accommodate pedestrian crossing at the each crossing location. Median islands could provide a refuge for pedestrians but would preclude the signalized pedestrian crossing option. Instead of specifying the crossing projects as "Pedestrian Activated Signalized Crossing", we recommend the projects be identified as "Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements" with asterisk stating "requires approval from the State Traffic Engineer". ODOT looks forward to continuing to work collaboratively with the City of Tigard to implement the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan.

The Commission previously held a workshop on March 2,2009 to discuss the proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and Tigard Comprehensive Plan, which originate from the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan.The purpose of this memo is to 1. Address three language changes the Commission requested at the workshop;2. Address comments received after the workshop from ODOT and Beaverton; and 3. Provide a summary recommendation and potential motion for the Commission. Planning Commission Requested change#1 Part 3 of the proposed amendment will update the list of recommended action measures (a total of 10 additions) found in Section 1 of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Transportation Chapter. The proposed amendment language was recommended by the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The requested changes were limited to two of the recommended action measures and are as follows: 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall,in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. Commission reasoning—to clarify what/where Alternative B is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition,staff resources shall be used to coordinate business development and retention activities,and aid in communication among the business community and city government. MEMO TO THE PLANNING COMMIISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 1 OF 4 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • Commission reasoning— throughout the update of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Commission and City Council tried to avoid language that committed City staff or resources to programs or projects as the Comp Plan is policy focused. This requested change was to maintain consistency with the rest of the Comp Plan language. Requested change #2 The Commission requested that any reference to the 5-lanes of Highway 99W as through lanes be removed. Staff has removed the reference throughout the proposed amendments. Most references were associated with the asterisk language in Part 1 of the proposed amendment. Part 4 of the proposed amendment also made reference to through lanes and this has been removed. Commission reasoning—the reference to a 5-lane Highway 99W would include the middle, or turn, lane which is not truly a "through" lane. Removing this language eliminates the possibility for confusion. Requested change#3 The Commission debated whether the addition of the language in proposed amendments 8, 9, 23, and 24 was appropriate. The proposed amendments would add two pedestrian activated signal crossings to the Other Potential Projects list. The Commission was concerned about the impact to traffic flow from adding additional traffic signals to the Highway 99W corridor. The Commission discussed various other solutions that could make the two particular intersections more pedestrian- friendly and asked staff to look into the feasibility of these projects and alternative language that would be more flexible. Staff comment - The recommended pedestrian activated signal crossings were included to improve pedestrian connections at the two most feasible locations along the corridor at this point in time. The Regional Transportation Plan calls for full street connections no more than 530 feet apart to provide accessibility and connectivity for all modes of travel. Figure 1 below is taken from the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan and shows pedestrian crossing locations along Highway 99W.

ODOT staff believes the projects are important pedestrian connections, but recommends changing the proposed amendment language (see below) to provide project flexibility. M Pedestrian Highway 99W at SW 71st Avenue Activated Signalized Crossing Enhancements* M Pedestrian Highway 99W at SW Watkins Avenue Activated Sign Crossing Enhancements* *Requires approval from State Traffic Engineer The Planning Commission may wish to consider using ODOT's recommended language change (also included in Exhibit A) or use a number of other alternatives in lieu of removing the project language completely: • Pedestrian Crossing Amenities • Pedestrian-specific Crossing • Pedestrian Crossing Infrastructure • Crosswalk • Pedestrian Crossing Project ODOT Comments (Staff Report Exhibit D) ODOT pointed out instances where an additional lane may be needed between intersections, essentially creating a sixth lane for short distances. Such a circumstance would not meet the asterisk language of"auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity" and recommended further clarification to retain flexibility. Staff comment- In a case where an auxiliary lane may need to be continuous between two intersections, to provide flexibility the Commission may wish to consider including the word function to the asterisk language below TSP figures to read: `Highway 99W may include auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, function, turn lanes, or access management at key locations, such as major intersections, where traffic flow and/or capacity would otherwise be constrained For locations within 600 feet of any signalized intersection or freeway interchange, staff will determine, based on accepted engineering practices, the cross-section and auxiliary lanes that will be necessary to serve that intersection." MEMO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 3 OF 4 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • City of Beaverton Comments (Staff Report Exhibit C) Recommended the deleted turn lanes in proposed amendment 21 (Table 8-8 changes) should be maintained in the TSP improvements to assure the 5-lane section would handle future needs of the region. Staff comment- maintaining the flexibility within the TSP to use auxiliary turn lanes at intersections is a benefit to the community and the function of Highway 99W. After review, the Engineering Division agrees with the Beaverton comments. Circumstances have changed,mainly the design of the Hall and Greenburg intersection improvement projects, since the Tigard 99W Plan was completed. Many of the intersection improvements slated to be removed from the TSP list may need to be constructed to ensure the Hall and Greenburg improvements function at their full potential. The Engineering Division identified the projects that were originally recommended for removal, but should remain in the TSP to provide flexibility (see list below). The language in Exhibit A was adjusted accordingly. The projects will again be reevaluated during the complete update of the TSP this year.

APPROVE MEETING MINUTES 2-23-09 Meeting Minutes: [Due to the short amount of time between meetings, the 2/23/09 meeting minutes will be up for consideration at the next meeting (March 16).] 5. WORK SESSION CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) Ron Bunch, Community Development Director, introduced City staff member, Carissa Collins, Senior Management Analyst. He said this presentation is the introduction to the FY2009-2010 Capital Improvement Plan and if there were any questions the commissioners had that staff was unable to answer immediately, staff would get back to them. He said if any questions were to come up between now and April 20th, that the commissioners would please forward them to staff and they would then be forwarded on to Council and the Budget Committee. He stated if they wished to collectively deliberate the CIP as a body and consider it more before April 20th, staff would be glad to schedule that in. Collins stated that she was present to ask for Planning Commission input to the Budget Committee regarding this 5 year Plan. She noted the funding is $61.9 million with $23.3 funded in 09-10. She said that it is broken up into different systems: the Street system, Park system, Facilities, Downtown, Storms, and Sanitary Sewer. She went over the basic highlights of each system — some of which are: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—March 2,2009—Page 1 of 5 • • Burnham and Ash = $10.2 million - fully funded. RN-MP [Pavement Major Maintenance Program] = $5.4 million funded over the 5 year period. She noted that's about$500,000/year and that presently there's an outreach for public input on how to determine the kind of street maintenance program we want to have. Sanitary Sewer & Storm projects are fully funded. Downtown projects are funded with grants, park SDC's, gas tax, and TIF [Tax Increment Financing] revenue. She said that so far as the Facilities System goes — the Facilities Master Plan is completed. The two primary projects are the new Police facility (about $12 million total), and the new Public Works facility (about $14 million). SOME QUESTIONS & COMMENTS BY COMMISSIONERS What impact will the(government) "Stimulus Package"have? Ron Bunch, Community Development Director answered: As we understand, the stimulus monies will be coming essentially in three successive waves.The first is transportation funding that will come to the state. The Metro portion of that is $30 million or so. Of that, Tigard is in line to get about 1.2 million dollars: Those monies are designated for street reconstruction or pavement management projects. Three of the projects are Bonita, 72nd, and Durham Road. Second and third rounds of stimulus will include projects that aren't quite on the line as of yet but include things such as parks, further transportation projects, water, sewer, storm drains - the kinds of things that may take a little longer to prepare. The third round, which is anticipated to come several months from now,will also include those projects that aren't really "shovel ready" and need more time to be prepared. Gus Duenas, City Engineer, spoke a bit further about the money coming through. He said what they did to get the projects out into a category in which not much red tape is involved is to do 2" overlays. He said they have to pick streets in pretty good condition. Durham from Hall Blvd to Upper Boones is one big candidate - 72nd Ave and Bonita Road. He spoke a bit further about the process of receiving the stimulus funds. What is the process for prioritizing City projects in general? For street projects - what we primarily do is look at what Council goals are and what the Council mandate is. Right now it's Burnham St. and Ash St. — so that is the primary goal for now. Community Development, as a whole, will prioritize based on what Council goals are. What's being done about jaywalking near Tigard High School? Based on how long it takes to get the materials manufactured & delivered, we're looking to get a crosswalk in place by May of this year. There were some other questions regarding parks, streams,bridges, and trail repair. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES-March 2,2009-Page 2 of 5 r • 6. WORK SESSION HIGHWAY 99W PLAN CPA2008-00011 Darren Wyss, Senior Planner,gave his presentation.on behalf of the Cit . He stated that the purpose of the meeting was to become familiar with the proposed amendments to Tigard's Transportation System Plan_(TSP) and the Comprehensive Plan (found in attachment 1 of the Planning Commission packet). The proposed amendments would incorporate recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Plan and those made by the project's Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). The proposed amendments are divided.into four components: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; (Found in Appendix C) 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan CSC; and 4. Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended 5 through lanes for Highway 99W. (Staff recommended. for consistency with TSP amendments.) \XTyss spent a few minutes reviewing the formulation of the Tigard 99W Plan and gave some background as to how the proposed amendments were developed. He said the development of the Tigard 99W Plan was funded by a Transportation Group Management (TGM) grant to evaluate the potential solutions to traffic congestion on Hwy 99W through Tigard. The intention of the project was to develop concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and additional interventions to meet future needs in the Tigard 99W corridor. The development of the plan involved the traditional process of: a) Inventorying of existing conditions; b) Analyzing needs, opportunities, and constraints; c) Developing alternative improvement concepts; and d) Comparing and evaluating alternative concepts. The primary focus of these alternatives was to identify projects aimed at alleviating congestion and also improving circulation along Hwy 99W through Tigard. The planning process ended up evaluating three alternatives: A. Partial widening of Hwy 99W through Tigard; B. Access management strategies in Tigard; and C. Widening of Hwy 99W to 7 lanes through Tigard. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—March 2,2009—Page 3 of 5 • • • In the end, Alternative B, which was the access management strategy, was chosen as the preferred alternative, as it best met the project objectives and criteria while carrying the fewest negative impacts to businesses in the community.Alternative B proposed that all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term, including medians, access management, intersection improvements,parallel roadway connections, and other off-highway improvements. This is based on maintaining a 5-lane cross section for Hwy 99W through Tigard. Wyss noted it's important to keep in mind that choosing Alternative B was not done in a vacuum. Both public involvement and interagency coordination factored into choosing the preferred alternative. The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC), Technical Advisory Committee (TAG), City staff, and the public all agreed that Alternative B was the best solution. ODOT, TrThfet, Portland, and all.other partner agencies endorsed the preferred alternative. The proposed amendments found in CPA2008-00011 were developed as a result of Alternative B being chosen during the process. In addition to the recommendation found in the Plan, the CAC developed a list of its own recommendations that they wanted forwarded to Council.These recommendations are proposed as Recommended Action Measures to be added to the Comp Plan transportation chapter. The Tigard 99W Plan was completed in June 2007. In November 2007 Council directed staff to prepare amendments to implement the Tigard 99W Plan. That is the reason this portion of the meeting was scheduled. COMMENTS & QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS • I'm not sold that Alternative B is the best. I'm skeptical. • Were the recommendations and changes made in this document based on Alternative B - the different language? Yes,it was. • To what extent has anyone considered tolling Hwy 99 where it enters and exits Tigard on either end? That's one way to fund it and keep the traffic down. I don't think that's going to fly. • Has it[a toll)been considered? Talked about? Vetted? It seems to me that given the very difficult issues we're facing and the fact that Tigard is more greatly impacted by 99W than any other community, that no discussion about what we're going to do with that road ought to go forward without having at least some kind of conversation about what the fiscal impacts[of a toll]are, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—March 2,2009—Page 4 of 5 • • • and what the impacts are, on the volume of traffic. So there's my speech on the tolling issue. • I think what we're supposed to be doing tonight is do we have any questions or input on what's been added to the Comp Plan for transportation based on Alternative B. Are we not going to have that conversation because we're talking about something else? President Inman answered —we veered off topic a bit because I wanted to allow Commissioner Vermilyea.to have his say on something he feels passionate about. There were further general questions including where a rail might be located along Hwy 99W. There was a suggestion that a "reversible lane" could possibly be put on Hwy 99W. At this point, the Commissioners went through the document (Land Use Application Narrative (proposed amendments) at length, and made various recommendations, which staff took note of. 7.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2008-00011 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: Tigard Transportation Plan and Comprehensive Plan Amendments to Incorporate Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan Recommendations PUBLIC HEARING OPENED Darren Wyss, Senior Planner, presented the staff report on behalf of the City. [Staff reports are available for public review at the City one week prior to public hearings.] Wyss said the Planning Commission was being asked to make a recommendation to City Council on CPA2008-00011, which will amend the Tigard TSP and Comp Plan. He noted the Commission previously held a workshop on the proposed amendment on March 2, 2009. He said the proposed amendments will incorporate recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan and those made by the project's Citizen Advisory Committee [CAC]. PLANNING COMMISSION MEIMNG MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 2 of 9 • . Wyss highlighted a few components of the process: • Intended to develop concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. • The primary focus was to identify potential projects aimed at alleviating congestion and improving circulation. • The planning process ended up evaluating three alternatives • A —partial widening of 99W thru Tigard • B —access management strategy in Tigard • C —Widening of 99W to 7 lanes thru Tigard Wyss noted that in the end, Alternative B was chosen as the preferred alternative as it best met the project objectives and criteria while carrying the fewest negative impacts. He said it was important to keep in mind that choosing Alternative B was not done in a vacuum. Both public involvement and interagency coordination factored into choosing the preferred alternative. The proposed amendments found in CPA2008-00011 were developed as a result of Alternative B being chosen. In addition to the recommendation found in the Plan, the CAC developed a list of its own recommendations to Council which are included as proposed Recommended Action Measures to be added to the Comp Plan transportation chapter. He said the proposed amendments are divided into the following four components: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2.

Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended through lanes for Highway 99W. (Staff recommended for consistency with TSP amendments.) Wyss noted a few minor changes had been made to the proposed amendments since the PC workshop on March 2, 2009. These changes were based on two things: • PC feedback at the workshop • Comments sent in by ODOT and Beaverton • At this point Wyss went over a PowerPoint presentation. (Exhibit A) QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS Is `function"defined? We can do that. PUBLIC TESTIMONY IN FAVOR—No one signed up to speak in favor. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 3 of 9 PUBLIC TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION—No one signed up to speak in opposition. President Inman asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on this. Sue Beilke; 11755 SW 114th Place,Tigard, had a couple of questions regarding changes Wyss had made to table 11-4 and 11-5—which he answered to her satisfaction. PUBLIC TESTIMONY CLOSED DELIBERATIONS/MOTION After a short deliberation,-there was a motion by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Commissioner Caffall: "I move the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council of application CPA2008-00011 and recommend the City Council adopt the amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and Tigard Comprehensive Plan as found in Exhibit A [of staff report]." The motion passed unanimously on a recorded vote, the Commissioners voted as follows: AYES: Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Caffall, Commissioner Doherty, Commissioner Hasman, Commissioner Inman, Commissioner Muldoon, and Commissioner Walsh (7) NAYS: None (0) ABSTAINERS: None (0) ABSENT: Commissioners Fishel and Vermilyea (2) After the vote, Wyss was reminded that they would like him to add the definition of "function." He said he would. President Inman noted this will go to Council's 6/23/09 Business Meeting. 5.2 PUBLIC HEARING (Continued from 2-23-09) DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT (DCA) 2008-00005 - SENSITIVE LANDS PERMIT REQUIREMENTS - On behalf of the City, Gary Pagenstecher, Associate Planner, handed out a revised memo (Exhibit B) with the changes in red. He said they offer a refinement in staff recommendation Option 3.c [3.c states: "Pedestrian/bicycle pathways within the floodplain shall include a wildlife assessment to ensure that the proposed alignment minimizes impacts to significant wildlife habitat."] He said there were some comments [from Brian Wegener&John Frewing] at the back of that memo as well as a memo from Public PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 4 of 9 • Works, Steve Martin [Parks & Facilities Manager]. Pagenstecher went over the memo which, he said, reflects the input he'd received. Pagenstecher said there were basically two issues: 1) the elevation criteria; and 2) the wildlife habitat issue. The revised recommendation gets rid of the elevation criteria altogether and instead requires a wildlife assessment for pathways within the floodplain. Briefly, the elevation criteria were originally designed for structure, protection, and maintenance. He said the Public Works memo spoke to that advising him that it simply wasn't an issue. Adding a criterion for wildlife is recommended for trails in the flood plain. QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS There was a general question about the difference between bike and pedestrian impacts. PUBLIC TESTIMONY— IN FAVOR—No one was signed up to speak in favor. PUBLIC TESTIMONY— IN OPPOSITION— John Frewing, 7110 SW.Lola Lane, Tigard, OR spoke in opposition. He went over his written submitted comments at the back of the packet (back of Exhibit B). With regard to 3.c he said there were several things that caused him concern. He'd like to see 3.c changed to say "pedestrian or bicycle pathways which are either replaced, new, or modified from this date forward, shall include this wildlife assessment." Secondly, he asked `what is a wildlife assessment?" He said he can do a wildlife assessment in about 1 second. Someone else may take more time because it involves fish, or birds, or frogs, or whatever — are there standards that we can reference in that regard? He said he doesn't know. "Thirdly, you've used the word "significant wildlife habitat" that in our [Tigard] code — there's a map of significant wildlife habitat adopted for Goal 5 and I presume that's what you mean, but it doesn't say that here." He went on to say that"CWS right now has a waiver for existing roads and trails in these low lying areas and so anything that exists that you're going to modify, repave, or replace escapes through that provision of CWS. And I don't want it to escape. I want it to have the wildlife assessment." Pagenstecher answered that any trail would go through a design development process and where trails are, for instance, modified for width, you would expect to have an assessment because they would be "new" trails and would be subject to the criterion for pathways in a floodplain. Frewing said that was comforting to him. He then asked about the standard for wildlife assessment. Pagenstecher said there is no criterion for wildlife assessment at this time. It's not in the code and not proposed here. There are standards for it. There are wildlife assessments—they are ordered for a purpose. Secondly, Frewing asked whether wildlife assessment would be done at one point in time, or done over several important seasons. Pagenstecher said wildlife assessments indicate time of year done and try to accommodate for that. Frewing said seasonal differences should be picked up in a wildlife assessment. Did you say that would be picked up? Pagenstecher said yes, I think that would PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTE'S—April 6,2009—Page 5 of 9 • I • • be picked up. Frewing: Lastly, does "significant wildlife habitat" correspond to the city's map?Pagenstecher:What we're talking about here is a criterion that applies specifically to floodplains in the City of Tigard. Floodplains correlate with the highest height and limit value on the habitat map. Frewing: Okay— so it refers to the map. Pagenstecher: Yes. Erik Lindstrom, 6801 SW Canyon Crest Drive, Portland 97225 spoke in opposition—He thanked Gary for meeting with them on Friday and answering many of his concerns. He said he'd studied the watershed very intently for two years as part of writing a book about Fanno Creek. He spoke about management of ecosystem services and wildlife habitat within the City limits. He said he was concerned about the process itself. He doesn't like the idea of modifying code to meet the plan. He's not convinced the details are there that the certain damage that will occur to the watershed as a result of this is mitigated and offset by other activities. There were no questions from staff. Sue Beilke, 11755 SW 114th Place, Tigard spoke in opposition. She handed out her comments in written form and went over them (Exhibit C). There were no questions from staff. Brian Wegener, 12360 SW Main Street, Suite 100, Tigard, OR of the Tualatin Riverkeepers hadn't signed up, but spoke in opposition. He said he's concerned about bicycle road kills in these sensitive areas. He'd seen some of them. He's also concerned about trail washouts. Impacts should be minimized. He thinks the wildlife assessment should be defined. He's hoping this will be a "win-win" situation. He likes trails and access to nature but wants to make sure we are not taking away that nature by putting those trails in. QUESTIONS FROM STAFF: What do you believe is the solution? The solution could be perhaps putting trails going through wet areas up on pilings. In a slope situation— there are a lot of different choices. Reduce impervious areas that are causing stormwater run-off- that's very important to areas close to the streams. QUESTIONS OF STAFF Did ODF&W/further comment? No. Pagenstecher said he called to follow up on their first comment. He said the comment was global in that when there's a limited resource— generally speaking, the policy is —protect it whenever you can. He said that's consistent with their mission. • PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 6 of 9 • Is there the possibility of the City looking at what sort of surface— what the trail's going to be made out of— before a trail is put in a floodplain?Is there anypossibiliy in this code to go through and have that as part of the criteria? There are opportunities to introduce and apply green [environmentally friendly] trail criterion in the design development of any trail segment that the City may undertake. PUBLIC TESTIMONY CLOSED DELIBERATIONS President Inman said a floodplain is not necessarily a natural resource area so, potentially, we could be requiring wildlife assessments for a parking lot. She believes this is above and beyond other standards that are currently out there, and potentially onerous. She said she leans towards faith in CWS and other regulations as far as protecting resources and buffers — there's a dedicated public who will follow the development of the plan and will give input with regard to paths. That being said, she's not opposed to adding a wildlife assessment. The commissioners deliberated at length. MOTION After deliberations, there was a motion by Commissioner Muldoon, seconded by Commissioner Hasman: "I move we adopt DCA2008-00005 Sensitive Lands Permit Requirement, selecting Option 3.c as amended April 6,2009." The motion passed on a recorded vote - the Commissioners voted as follows: AYES: Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Caffall, Commissioner Doherty, Commissioner Hasman, Commissioner Inman, and Commissioner Muldoon (5) NAYS: Commissioner Walsh (1) ABSTAINERS: None (0) ABSENT: Commissioners Fishel and Vermilyea (2) PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED President Inman noted this will go to the 5/12/09 Council Business Meeting. 6. URBAN FORESTRY MASTERPLAN City Arborist,Todd Prager, said the slide presentation he was about to present highlights the packet that was distributed to the commissioners earlier. He encouraged them to review the PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 7 of 9 • • • packet over the coming months to become familiar with the data that's been collected thus far for the Urban Forestry Master Plan. At this point he went over his slide presentation as an update of the Master Plan (Exhibit D). QUESTIONS FOR STAFF Why has the tree canopy decreased? Dick Bewersdorff,Planning Manager, answered, "There'd been more development in those years than we've ever had in Tigard." Prager added, "The fragmentation where the larger groves were being replaced with smaller individual plantings may indicate that the mitigation is helping to restore canopy in these residential zones." There were a few other questions and then the commissioners thanked Prager for a presentation they said was well done. 7. OTHER BUSINESS - Joint Meeting on April 21st—Tuesday—ideas for topics: The commissioners talked about some of the topics they may wish to discuss at that meeting. The consensus was that their main topic would be that of communication between the Council and the Commission;specifically,if Council chooses to over-ride one of their recommendations.They wondered what the plan is to communicate Council's reasoning as to why they.disagree. Minutes: Planning Commission Bylaws -Article IV Section 12.E There was a decision to change the way the Commission considers/approves minutes. It was decided that,in light of the heretofore overlooked portion of the bylaws (below),in the future they would approve them differently than in the past. Article IV Section 12.E of the Planning Commission bylaws states: "Commissioners are expected to vote for approval of the minutes based on the accuracy of representation of events at the meeting. If there are no corrections, the President may declare the minutes approved as presented, without the need for a motion and vote. A vote in favor of adopting minutes does not signify agreement or disagreement with the Commission's actions memorialized in the minutes." So,if after asking if there are any corrections and, there being none, the President may declare the minutes "approved as presented" without the need for a motion and vote.

JOINT MEETING WITH THE LIBRARY BOARD Library Director Barnes introduced Library Board Chair David Burke. He introduced Board Members Richard Heath,Jan Thenell,Linda Monahan and Karen Levear. Chair Burke addressed the notion of the library as a community hub relevant in challenging economic times. Chair Burke and Library Director Barnes demonstrated the new Skype service offered by the library. They talked to each other on laptops using cameras and this program which enables users to see each other as they talk to others through computers with cameras. He said a common use in the library for Skype is military families connecting with family members across the globe. 6:36:45 PM. Board Member Heath said library patrons can get a Skype account and purchase Skype handsets that plug into a USB port. Skype is offered at the library on eight computers at present and is available three days a week. He said the Library Board feels it is an inexpensive and useful tool. Board Member Thenell described examples of ways a library card can be a ticket to many museums and institutions. Cultural passes can be checked out and used for admission to the Pittock Mansion and Chinese Cultural Garden,etc TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 19, 2009 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 1 of • • 6:51:02 PM Board Member Levear said the community gives back to the library in the form of volunteers,who donate sufficient monthly hours to equal eight to ten additional full-time staff members. She described the many classes and programs offered to the community at the library including tax preparation, Movies with Margaret,and computer classes. There are programs going on every day and evening which indicates the library is well used by the community. Councilor Wilson asked how the Books to Go program works. Board Member Thenell said that free software can be loaded onto a patron's computer enabling book check out electronically from a website,using a library card. After two weeks,you don't have to worry about returning the book. At the end of the check out period the borrower would no longer have access and the material becomes available for someone else to borrow. Board Member Thenell said that some materials can even be copied onto a computer drive,MP3 or a CD, depending on copyright agreements. Library Chair Burke noted that the Library has been in its current location for five years and will be having a birthday party on Saturday,August 22,2009. He thanked the Friends of the Library and the Library Foundation for sponsoring this celebration. Mayor Dirksen said it was predicted that libraries would become dinosaurs due to the computers and the Internet,yet Tigard's library is busier than ever. 3. 6:57:51 PM MUNICIPAL COURT ANNUAL REPORT Judge O'Brien and Administrative Services Manager Robinson presented to Council the 2009 Annual Report on Tigard's Municipal Court. They gave a PowerPoint on programs and caseload, the vast majority of which are traffic cases. A copy of this PowerPoint is in the City Recorder's office. The caseload declined by 10% in the past year, attributed primarily to a decrease of one-third in the citations issued for traffic control device and speeding violations. A video showing an actual traffic violation demonstrated how new patrol car cameras capture evidence. The advantage to having this film is its value as objective evidence in trials. It can also be helpful in getting violators to accept responsibility for their actions. Other new technology enables lasers to show the distance between cars. Judge O'Brien mentioned the public information program, used to extend the court's outreach and impact to the public through brochures,court rules, the website and a monthly column in Cityscape. He said the Driver Improvement Program will continue although very few drivers qualify for the program. Youth Court continues with 600 cases processed in the program's seven years. 7:06:32 PM Judge O'Brien said there was a small uptick in civil infractions but it is a relatively small number compared to the past. 7:07:02 PM Administrative Services Manager Robinson said with the slowdown in the economy there has been some impact to the receipt of fees and more people are requiring payment agreements. She said $947,457 was collected in fines, fees, costs and assessments. Of that amount, the City disbursed $247,406 to other agencies as state required assessments. She described the allocation of a$250 Base Fine. Judge O'Brien discussed the record case load in March and April,saying it is too early to determine whether it is a long-term trend or a temporary fluctuation. He said they are looking with at the proposed cell phone ban that is in the legislature now and could impact the court. He noted that two court employees were honored at recent Employee Recognition event: Brenda Annis for 10 years on the court staff and Chris Snodgrass for 20 years. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 19, 2009 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 2 of • • 4. 7:14:29 PM DISCUSS ORDINANCE MODIFYING TIGARD MUNICIPAL CODE (TMC 7.70 — SECONDHAND DEALERS AND TRANSIENT MERCHANTS) TO UPDATE AND CLARIFY PROCEDURES AND DEFINITIONS • Chief Dickenson and Detective Lieutenant deSully introduced this item and said the purpose of the ordinance is to update and clarify pawn procedures. Chief Dickenson noted that the City of Portland modified their ordinance and adopted new technology and since crime doesn't stop at city boundaries, Tigard wants its regulations to be consistent with neighboring agencies. Detective Lieutenant deSully said the primary motivation is the new regional secondhand dealer reporting system. He said this web-based program allows point-of-sale information to be sent directly to the police for comparison with stolen item lists,which Tigard's existing 1983 ordinance doesn't allow. He said they have created an administrative policies and procedures section which is separate from the ordinance and defines "regulated property." The electronic equipment definition has also been changed to make it easier to update and match other agencies. The proposed ordinance also increases the merchandise hold period from 15 days to 30 days. The 30-day period allows police more time to track stolen items if they are taken into a secondhand store. In addition,while the ordinance allows and encourages merchants to use the regional electronic reporting system, they can opt out. The businesses within the City of Tigard that will be required to operate under these rules have been contacted and response received so far has been positive. He said this ordinance limits persons under 18 from selling items without a parent or guardian present. It also prohibits specific items such as gift cards,in-store credit cards,phone cards,and medications. Items brought in for pawn or sale with altered identification marks, such as an engraved driver's license number that has been scratched out will not be accepted by businesses. Councilor Webb inquired about perpetual garage sales. Detective Lieutenant deSully said this ordinance doesn't regulate the occasional garage sale but does limit garage sales to less than 72 consecutive hours and restricts people to less than four sales in a 12-month period at the same property. He said donation centers such as Goodwill are exempt. Chief Dickenson noted that in the past pawn shops were often the only places to find stolen property. Now there are internet sites such as Craigslist and Ebay, or no-trace, off-shore purchasing. 7:25:15 PM Mayor Dirksen asked what a transient merchant is and suggested this definition be added. Chief Dickinson said it is someone who rents a hotel room or empty storefront, advertises heavily that they are buying jewelry etc. and pays cash for the items. These merchants will now have to get a temporary business license,post a bond and tell the police what they take in. Council President Wilson requested that the proposed changes be indicated by using strikeouts and underlining and said that it would be helpful for Council to receive it in this format prior to the public hearing. Detective Lieutenant DeSully said they would redo it that way before the public hearing. Council President Wilson also noted that the Purpose Statement appears almost apologetic. Detective Lieutenant DeSully said that was because they modeled it after other jurisdictions and the desire to be sensitive to existing businesses. 7:30:07 PM Chief Dickenson noted that this new system modernizes their system and reduces paper. He invited everyone to check out the new Tigard Police Department Facebook and Twitter accounts. He said the Police Department is using Facebook to distribute some of their press releases, including video of a recent burglary.

Chief Dickenson said that while most heavy metal recycling shop locations are not local, thefts do occur here. He said the Police Department instituted a program last year to prevent metal thefts by offering to the public catalytic converter engraving which makes them traceable if stolen. 5. DISCUSS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2008-00011: TIGARD TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS TO INCORPORATE TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS Senior Planner Wyss said staff wanted to familiarize Council with the proposed amendments to the Transportation System Plan (TSP) and the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. 7:35:40 PM He said the amendments incorporate recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan and those made by the project's Citizen Advisory Committee. He said the proposed amendments are divided into four separate components: 1. Update the TSP to include recommended changes found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan 2. Incorporate the 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard TSP to serve as findings. 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation - to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. 4. Amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2 to reflect the recommended five lanes for Highway 99W, which was recommended by staff for consistency with the TSP amendments. Senior Planner Wyss said the primary focus was to identify projects and alleviate traffic congestion and improve circulation in Tigard's 99W corridor.The planning process evaluated three alternatives: • Alternative A -partial widening of 99W • Alternative B -access management strategy • Alternative C -widening of 99W to seven lanes He said Alternative B was preferred as it best meets the project objectives and criteria, with fewer negative impacts. It includes enhancing all transportation modes over time and includes medians, access management, intersection improvements,roadway connections and other off-highway improvements. He said the selection of Alternative B had both interagency coordination and public involvement. He said the CAC also developed their own list of recommendations to Council which include Recommended Action Measures in the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Chapter. Mayor Dirksen said, "We discussed and approved Alternative B which does not widen 99W, but how does this reconcile with a recent development planning requirement from ODOT to increase lanes on 99W to handle increased traffic as a result of potential development?" TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 19, 2009 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 4 of 7 • Senior Planner Wyss said this was addressed by placing an asterisk underneath many figures in the proposed amendment stating that auxiliary lanes may be needed for function,intersection and circulation access between Greenburg Road and I-5. He discussed the legislative process which included comments from the City of Beaverton and ODOT and these are included. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended adoption but requested that the word "function" be defined. Staff developed and is asking Council to adopt the definition of "function" to mean"an action or task the system is designed to perform." 7:43:37 PM Council President Wilson said he remains concerned about going from seven to five lanes within the Tigard Triangle. He said of all the places in Tigard to consider widening 99W, that is the most acceptable because it doesn't run up against residential neighborhoods. He asked if an overcrossing is cheaper than widening lanes. He said, "I want to make sure we don't get ourselves into a situation where we can't do what we want to in the Triangle." 7:45:46 PM Engineer Duenas responded that Tigard will have a net of seven lanes on 99W primarily because the intersections are so close together that instead of transitioning back to a five lane section,the seven lanes are carried through.The outer lanes are used to service the individual lots because there is unlimited access from each side of Highway 99W. He said at some point there will be a limitation to Tigard Triangle development. He referred to a study that may be an answer to that which could investigate getting higher density through residential development rather than commercial in the Triangle. 7:47:07 PM Community Development Director Bunch said a concern is that latent demand would immediately use up any additional lanes so the emphasis should be on intersection functionality. ODOT and Metro predict 99W will reach capacity, even with seven lanes. He said the City will undertake a Transportation System Plan and prove that we have done the best we can and then begin to examine alternative modes. He stressed that the City is finally beginning to see movement on improvements to 99W. High capacity transit and reorienting the land use towards it is one of the objectives. He said ODOT realizes the need to improve access to businesses and that is why there is so much emphasis on intersections rather than through-lane capacity. 7:49:40 PM Councilor Buehner said she remembered that ODOT said they would require a median down 99W from 72nd to Highway 217 when the Tigard Triangle expands. She asked if this would then force relocation of some business access points. Engineer Duenas responded that left turns will be prohibited but more U-turns will be added. He said limiting the turn conflicts will improve the through capacity. Auxiliary lanes will be used by cars slowing down to enter driveways or get out into the traffic flow. 7:51:48 PM Mayor Dirksen said what while this document has to do with the transportation corridor of 99W only, we are also looking into long-term land use planning and are considering backage roads or linked parking lots rather than individual access along 99W. The future need for left-hand turn access will diminish and this access management plan encourages this kind of development in the long term. Councilor Buehner said she is still concerned that ODOT is already telling the City how to develop that portion of 99W. Community Development Director Bunch said 99W is an ODOT facility of statewide significance and this plan is their effort to reach out and develop an improvement and management plan to involve the City. This is a joint conversation between Tigard and ODOT as well as other jurisdictions that need to be involved. He said one reason the City waited so long to bring this forward is that details needed to be worked out with ODOT regarding pending development in the Tigard Triangle and to test it to make sure it fits the precepts of this plan. He said that ODOT is proposing to implement the principles of this plan to ensure that we get development in the Tigard Triangle. They are able to do that by doing these kinds of management techniques so we can squeeze a bit more capacity out of the highway. He said Tigard will need to ensure development in TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 19, 2009 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I 503-639-4171 I www.tigard-or.gov I Page 5 of . . the Tigard Triangle fits this plan. He said 99W is very important to both Tigard and ODOT and a balance has to be achieved between local and statewide movement. Mayor Dirksen pointed out that the bike routes on page 13 don't include bike paths along parks or open spaces, such as the Fanno Creek trail and suggested these be included. Community Development Director Bunch agreed and said the maps will be redone. Councilor Buchner asked about improvements to the Durham Road intersection, noting problems with the substandard street width and road conditions on the King City side. Councilor Webb said King City received funding through the Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG) to redo that entire stretch of road. In response to Mayor Dirksen's question about when this will come before Council in a public hearing, Senior Planner Wyss said it was scheduled for June 23,2009. 6. BRIEFING ON TIGARD TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN Senior Planner Wyss updated Council on the update of the Transportation System Plan. 7:59:27 PM He said the City received an ODOT Transportation and Growth Management grant for this update. Kittelson &Associates has been hired to consult on this and is in the process of preparing materials for the first round of public input. Public input will be sought in June through a meeting of the TSP Citizen Advisory Committee, the TSP Technical Advisory Committee and a public forum. The first public forum will be held on June 24 at 6:30 pm and Senior Planner Wyss invited Council to attend. Planning Commission Workshops will begin in January or February. Referring to a memo sent by staff listing TSP issues under consideration, Council President Wilson asked when discussions could begin. Senior Planner Wyss said Kittelson & Associates will first complete a needs and efficiencies report in July and then potential solutions and implementation strategies will be discussed. Councilor Buehner said discussion of these issues should be held with Council. Council President Wilson asked if there was a reality component involved as these plans have come before Council before and such a long list of projects gets identified there is no way to complete or even fund them. Engineer Duenas said the process is necessary to see what all of the needs are so it can be narrowed down. The TSP gives us a chance to get a list of the most important projects and then match them with available funds. 8:09:04 PM Community Development Director Bunch said what will be different about this TSP is the prospect for high-capacity transit and land use connections made necessary by that. 7. BRIEFING ON STATUS OF PERIODIC REVIEW WORK 8:10:17 PM Senior Planner Wyss updated Council on progress with the Periodic Review Process. He said this is state-mandated and should be done every seven to ten years. Tigard has not done this for fifteen years. The City is now completing the land use evaluation phase. He noted however, that the State's Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) has recommended waiting until their budget is finalized before committing to a Periodic Review work program. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - MAY 19, 2009 City of Tigard I 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, OR 97223 I 503-639-4171�I www.tigard-or.gov Page 6of7 • • The three-year clock will not begin until they approve our work program. At this point staff will work on tasks such as the update of Tigard's Transportation System Plan and the update of the Public Facility Plan. Staff applied for project grants for the Economic Opportunities Analysis and the Wellhead Protection Plan. If these two are granted,money which would have come out of the Community Development budget will be saved. Council concurred with staff that it made sense to wait and see if these are listed in the final budget and the DLCD gives the City the go-ahead. 8. ADJOURNMENT At 8:15:41 PM Council President Wilson moved for adjournment and the motion was seconded by Councilor Webb. All voted in favor.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Council is requested to become familiar with the Commission's recommendation to adopt CPA2008-00011, and identify any additional material or information needed to assist in making its decision at a public hearing scheduled for June 23,2009. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY Traffic congestion consistently ranks as the number one issue with Tigard citizens in community surveys. Specifically, congestion on Highway 99W is identified as a major problem. To address the issue, the Tigard City Council established a goal in 2005 to improve the Highway 99W corridor, and continued that goal into 2006. To develop solutions to the traffic congestion on the highway, the City applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan Tigard 99W Plan). Through a planning and public involvement process conducted with ODOT,TriMet, Metro, Washington County, and other regional partners, the project developed concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and recommended additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. The primary focus of the Tigard 99W Plan is identifying projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion and improving traffic circulation within the highway corridor from Durham Road to Interstate 5. Three alternatives were evaluated to assess the impact each would have on the transportation deficiencies in the corridor.Alternative A evaluated widening Highway 99W to seven lanes from Greenburg Rd. to Interstate 5 and Alternative C evaluated widening to seven lanes for the entire length through Tigard. Both were rejected for cost, right-of-way impacts, urban design, and quality of life concerns.The preferred alternative (Alternative B) was an access management strategy. Alternative B proposes all transportation modes be enhanced through a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management,intersection improvements, bike, pedestrian, and transit improvements, and other off-highway improvements. 1 • • The development of the Tigard 99W Plan included both public involvement and interagency coordination. A project specific Tigard Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) and Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) were appointed to review and comment on the plan as it developed. In addition, three open houses and citizen stakeholder interviews were held. Both the CAC and TAC recommended that Alternative B be the preferred option. The CAC also submitted certain policy-related recommendations pertaining to the future improvement and management of Highway 99W. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) originate from the recommendations found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan and are intended to implement Alternative B. The CAC, TAC, and ODOT staff all recommended the City implement the suggested modifications found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan include incorporating the CAC policy-related recommendations and rewording Goal 12.2,Policy 6.A to be consistent with the TSP (see Attachment 1). The Tigard City Council held a work session on the Tigard 99W Plan on November 20, 2007. Council discussed the recommendations and directed staff to prepare the Tigard TSP and Comprehensive Plan amendments necessary to implement the Tigard 99W Plan and bring them before the Tigard Planning Commission. The Planning Commission held a workshop on this amendment on March 2, 2009 and a public hearing on April 6, 2009. Some minor language changes were made for clarification purposes at the workshop (see Attachment 2). Staff also recommended some additional changes at the public hearing based on comments submitted by ODOT and the City of Beaverton (see Attachment 2). The Commission agreed with the additional suggested changes, but asked for the word "function" (based on ODOT comments) to be defined. Staff has researched engineering literature and recommends the following definition: Function:An action or a task that a system is designed to perform. The Tigard Transportation System Plan does not contain a glossary,but the definition will be included as part of the Staff Report that is adopted as findings for CPA2008-00011. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend adoption of CPA2008-00011 to City Council. Proposal Description The City is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12:Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee;and 4.Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended 5 lanes for Highway 99W.

Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. The numbering will start as indicated: 24. Prior to implementation of projects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware of pending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. 25. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed I-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible;and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the I-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99Wimprovements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 27. The City shall adoptAlternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 28. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99W problems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. CPA2008-00011 PAGE 2 OF 31 • 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design-exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique.A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. Might rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, resources shall be used to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. Part 4:Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 99W Management and Improvement Plan recommends the Tigard TSP is amended to retain four/five lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes.To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2. Staff feels the language change is necessary to provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function, ingress/egress spacing, and access management. This would effectively generate four thru-lanes and up to two temporary/short duration/turn lanes for access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A.

Chapter 7 Transit �1 CITY OF TIGARD OQEGON This chapter summarizes existing and future transit needs in the City of Tigard. The following sections outline the criteria to be used to evaluate needs, provides a number of strategies for implementing a transit plan and recommends a transit plan for the City of Tigard. The needs, criteria and strategies were identified in working with the City's TSP Task Force. This committee provided input regarding the transportation system in Tigard, specifically exploring transit needs. The methodology used to develop the transit plan combined citizen and staff input. • NEEDS There are currently 12 fixed bus routes which provide service within the City of Tigard. These bus routes are summarized in Chapter 3 (Existing Conditions). There are four express routes providing service to Tigard residents (12E, 64X, 92X and 95X). Existing transit headways on bus routes in Tigard range from 10-15 minutes on Routes 12 and 92X to about 30 minutes on Routes 76 and 78 during peak commute periods. Metro's Draft Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) identifies the following routes on its Public Transportation System Map (Figure 7-1)1: • ORE 217 HCT Corridor • Greenburg/Hall/Durham HCT Corridor • ORE 99W (East of ORE 217) HCT Corridor • Hall Boulevard (North of ORE 217) Frequent Bus • Hunziker Street Frequent Bus • ORE 99W (West of ORE 217) Primary Bus • Scholls Ferry Road (East of Murray) Primary Bus • 121st/Walnut Street Primary Bus • 68th Parkway/Hampton Street Primary Bus • 72nd Avenue (South of Hampton) Primary Bus Based upon these designations, the City of Tigard designates all bus stops on HCT Corridors and Frequent Bus routes as Major Transit Stops. In addition, all park and ride sites and transit stations are designated major transit stops (Downtown Tigard, Washington Square, park and ride at ORE 99W/ Ade74th Avenue). While Tri-Met bus ridership in Tigard increased by 35% from 1990 to 1994 and another 15%from 1994 to 1999 (comparing 12 routes), transit ridership represents 6 percent of Tigard PM peak hour trip making. 1 Public Transportation System Map, Metro,Version 4.0, December 1, 1997.

Update text to "...Th.The TSP recommends: 1)widening ORE 99W'to seven lanes between I5 and Cleenburg Road; 2)retaining the five lane cross section on roadway southwest of Crecnburg-Roadt-3)extensive intersection improvements —turning lanes;42)aggressive access management, including the development of an access management plan for the corridorL331 improvements to ORE 217 and 1-5 noted above;641)off-system improvements such as freeway improvements and arterials such as Walnut extension;and 71)consideration of a western/Yamhill County commuter rail corridor" 4. ORE 99W fails in the future without improvement. Of all the regional transportation issues in Tigard, ORE 99W is probably the closest to a"rubik's cube". Tigard depends heavily on ORE 99W as its primary arterial. There are no parallel routes to ORE 99W and its diagonal alignment and the physical features of Tigard make using ORE 99W essential for also any trip in Tigard. ORE 99W's statewide status and linkage to Yamhill County and the Oregon Coast have similar issues—the only route servicing northeast-southwest travel. The future demand for this corridor is well beyond its five lane capacity without system-wide improvements. Ten various alternatives to improving ORE 99W were investigated, ranging from the no improvement to radical capacity improvements. Table 8-5 summarizes the wide range of alternatives. Unfortunately, no one improvement results in desirable (better than level of service F) operation. The most significant finding was that no matter whether ORE 99W was widened southwest of Greenburg Road, the end result was failure. Added capacity on ORE 99W (tested by modeling seven lanes) resulted in significantly higher turning movements on/off ORE 99W and large through movements on ORE 99W. The end result was that not only would you have to widen to seven lanes but at nearly every intersection additional turning lanes were needed (double lefts, right turn) creating nearly a 10 lane cross section at intersection. And even after that the end result was level of service F conditions. Therefore the recommended approach combines several elements to produce a minimally acceptable operating condition. The TSP recommends: 1) widening ORE 99W to seven lanes between 15 and Crcenburg Road;2) retaining the five lane extensive intersection improvements— auxiliary turning and/or through lanes at key intersections on Highway 99W,-.2) aggressive access management, including the development of an access management plan for the corridor;53)improvements to ORE 217 and 1-5 noted above;64) off-system improvements such as freeway improvements and arterials such as Walnut extension;and-75) consideration of a western/Yamhill County commuter rail corridor." • CPA200S-00011 PAGE 17 OF 31 • • Proposed Amendment 15: TSP Chapter 8: Motor Vehicles Committee Recommendation: Page 8-37: Last Paragraph, first bullet. Update text to "ORE 99W seves access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. " Tigard Triangle Area. This subarea is also subject of a recently adopted plan. The basic package of street improvements needed to mitigate level of service F conditions in this area include: • ORE 99W seven lanes access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. • Dartmouth Street five lanes • 72nd Avenue five lanes • Atlanta Street extended from Haines Street to 72nd Avenue • Backage roads to ORE 99W (providing access to business but not directly on ORE 99W) CPA2008-00011 PAGE 18 OF 31 • • Proposed Amendment 16: TSP Chapter 8: Motor Vehicles Committee Recommendation: Page 8-38: Table, third item: Update text to `Level of service F conditions result in Tigard Triangle mitbout 7 lanes. This option would limit the potential of the Tigard Triangle to serve the projected land use in the future without localked intersection improvements. These improvements could include additional approach turn and/or through lanes northbound and southbound on ORE 991 for short periods. There were no subarea alternatives that precluded the need for 7 lanes between 15 and 217." Other options considered in this sub area included a Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing of ORE 217, an extension of Atlanta Street to Dartmouth Street and five lanes on ORE 99W. The following summarizes the findings of these options: Dartmouth Attracts less than 5,000 vehicles per day by itself; extend Walnut to link to Hunziker up with the overcrossing of ORE 217 and the volume increase to 8,000 ORE 217 per day. Implement complete ramp metering in the Tigard Triangle Overcrossi area (on ORE 217 and 1-5) and the volume increases to 13,000 ng vehicles per day. Most of the traffic benefits of the overcrossing are produced with the Hunziker to Hampton overcrossing and the Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing has limited additional benefit. Unfortunately, ORE 99W still requires mitigation with or without overcrossing; access to ORE 217 would not be allowed by ODOT due to substandard spacing resulting in unsafe operation at large expense. One option where this overcrossing may be desirable in the future would be where ramp metering is fully operational and improvements to ORE 217 include a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane alternative where direct connections to ORE 99W are desired. The Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing could provide access to the Tigard Triangle and ORE 99W area via drop in ramps. Therefore, a potential alignment should be preserved for future consideration (where the alignment would go through parking lots). However, the overcrossing is not part of the street improvement plan in the TSP. Atlanta While the'Atlanta extension to 72nd is 10,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day Extension the segment to the south connecting to Dartmouth is well below that to level. Recent development has blocked an optimal alignment. Dartmouth Backage roads will be more effective in this setting. The TSP includes the Atlanta extension to 72nd and backage roads with redevelopment. Five lane Level of service F conditions result in Tigard Triangle without 7 lanes. This ORE 99W option would limit the potential of the Tigard Triangle to serve the N "1 projected land use in the future without localized intersection improvements.

The Commission previously held a workshop on March 2, 2009 to discuss the proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and Tigard Comprehensive Plan, which originate from the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The purpose of this memo is to 1. Address three language changes the Commission requested at the workshop; 2. Address comments received after the workshop from ODOT and Beaverton; and 3. Provide a summary recommendation and potential motion for the Commission. Planning Commission Requested change#1 Part 3 of the proposed amendment will update the list of recommended action measures (a total of 10 additions) found in Section 1 of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Transportation Chapter. The proposed amendment language was recommended by the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The requested changes were limited to two of the recommended action measures and are as follows: 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall,in conjunction with other agencies, jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. Commission reasoning—to clarify what/where Alternative B is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition,sta€€ resources shall be t-ted used to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. MEMO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 1 OF 4 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • Commission reasoning—throughout the update of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Commission and City Council tried to avoid language that committed City staff or resources to programs or projects as the Comp Plan is policy focused. This requested change was to maintain consistency with the rest of the Comp Plan language. Requested change #2 The Commission requested that any reference to the 5-lanes of Highway 99W as through lanes be removed. Staff has removed the reference throughout the proposed amendments. Most references were associated with the asterisk language in Part 1 of the proposed amendment. Part 4 of the proposed amendment also made reference to through lanes and this has been removed. Commission reasoning—the reference to a 5-lane Highway 99W would include the middle, or turn, lane which is not truly a"through" lane. Removing this language eliminates the possibility for confusion. Requested change#3 The Commission debated whether the addition of the language in proposed amendments 8, 9, 23, and 24 was appropriate. The proposed amendments would add two pedestrian activated signal crossings to the Other Potential Projects list. The Commission was concerned about the impact to traffic flow from adding additional traffic signals to the Highway 99W corridor. The Commission discussed various other solutions that could make the two particular intersections more pedestrian- friendly and asked staff to look into the feasibility of these projects and alternative language that would be more flexible. Staff comment - The recommended pedestrian activated signal crossings were included to improve pedestrian connections at the two most feasible locations along the corridor at this point in time. The Regional Transportation Plan calls for full street connections no more than 530 feet apart to provide accessibility and connectivity for all modes of travel. Figure 1 below is taken from the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan and shows pedestrian crossing locations along Highway 99W.

ODOT staff believes the projects are important pedestrian connections, but recommends changing the proposed amendment language (see below) to provide project flexibility. M Pedestrian Highway 99W at SW 71st Avenue Activated Signalized Crossing Enhancements* M Pedestrian Highway 99W at SW Watkins Avenue Activated Signalized-Crossing Enhancements* *Requires approval from State Traffic Engineer The Planning Commission may wish to consider using ODOT's recommended language change (also included in Exhibit A) or use a number of other alternatives in lieu of removing the project language completely: • Pedestrian Crossing Amenities • Pedestrian-specific Crossing • Pedestrian Crossing Infrastructure • Crosswalk • Pedestrian Crossing Project ODOT Comments (Staff Report Exhibit D) ODOT pointed out instances where an additional lane may be needed between intersections, essentially creating a sixth lane for short distances. Such a circumstance would not meet the asterisk language of"auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity"and recommended further clarification to retain flexibility. Staff comment- In a case where an auxiliary lane may need to be continuous between two intersections, to provide flexibility the Commission may wish to consider including the word function to the asterisk language below TSP figures to read: 1-lighway 99W may include auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, function,turn lanes, or access management at key locations, such as major intersections, where traffic flow and/or capacity would otherwise be constrained. For locations within 600 feet of any signalized intersection or freeway interchange, staff will determine, based on accepted engineering practices, the cross-section and auxiliary lanes that will be necessary to serve that intersection." MEMO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 3 OF 4 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • City of Beaverton Comments (Staff Report Exhibit C) Recommended the deleted turn lanes in proposed amendment 21 (Table 8-8 changes) should be maintained in the TSP improvements to assure the 5-lane section would handle future needs of the region. Staff comment-maintaining the flexibility within the TSP to use auxiliary turn lanes at intersections is a benefit to the community and the function of Highway 99W. After review, the Engineering Division agrees with the Beaverton comments. Circumstances have changed,mainly the design of the Hall and Greenburg intersection improvement projects, since the Tigard 99W Plan was completed. Many of the intersection improvements slated to be removed from the TSP list may need to be constructed to ensure the Hall and Greenburg improvements function at their full potential. The Engineering Division identified the projects that were originally recommended for removal,but should remain in the TSP to provide flexibility (see list below).The language in Exhibit A was adjusted accordingly. The projects will again be reevaluated during the complete update of the TSP this year.

WORK SESSION HIGHWAY 99W PLAN CP.A2008.-0041I Darren Wyss, S. ., or Planner, gave,his presentation on behalf of the City. • He stated that the purpose of the meeting was to become familiar With the proposed amendments to Tigard's Transportation System Plan (TSP) and the Comprehensive Plan (found in attachment 1 of the Planning Commission pacitet). The proposed amendments would Incorporate recornmendations,found in the Tigard 99W Plan and those made by the project's Citizen Advisory,Committee (CAC).. I The proposed amendments are divided into four components: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, (Found in Appendix C) 2_ Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recornmended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12. Transportation tb!include Linguage reccinithended by the Tigard 99W Plan CAC;and 4. Attend,the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A(under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended 5 through lanes for Highway 99W. (Staff recommended for tOtiSiste'hey-with TSP arriendrlients.); Wyss spent a few minutes reviewing the formulation of the Tigard 99W Plan and gave some badtgroundastb hOst7 the proposed ainendinents were developed. He said the development of the Tigard 99W Plan was funded by a Transportation Group Management(TGM) grant to evaluate the potential solutions to traffic congestion on-Hwy 99W through Tigard. The intention of the project was to develop concept-level recommendations for transportation :improvements and additional interventions to meet future needs in the Tigard:99W corridor. The development of the plan involved the traditional process ofi, ay Inventorying of existing conditions, b) Analyzing needs, opportunities,and constrairitS; c) Developing alternatiVe:improvement:concepts; and d) Comparing and evaluating alternative concepts. The primary focus of these alternatives was to identify projects aimed at alleviating. congestion and gsd ittiptoving circulation along Hwy 99W through:Tigard. The planning process ended up evaluating three alternatives: A. Partial Widening Of Hwy 99W through Tigard; B. Access management strategies in Tigard; and C: Widening of Hwy 99W to 7 lanes:through Tigard. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—March 2;2009 Page 3 of 5 • In the end,Alternative B,Which Was the access:management strategy,was Chosen as the preferred alternative,as it best met the project objectives and criteria while carrying the fewest negative impacts to businesses in the cothititioity.Alternative B proposed that all transportation modes be enhanced though,a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management,intersection improvements, parallel roadway connections, and Other off-highway iniprOveitientS. This is based on Maintaining.a.5-lanecrosS section for Hwy 99W through Tigard; Wyss noted it's important to keep in mind that choosing Alternative B was not done in a vacuum.. Both public involvement and Interagency ' -coordination factored intO-.Choosing the preferred alternative.-The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC)*Technical Advisory Committee (Thq, City„Staff, and the pophe•ii1; : • agteci.that Alternative B was the best solution ODOT;TriMet,:Portland,:and all other partner agencies endorsed the preferred alternative. The proposed amendments found in CPA2008-,00011 Were developed as a result of Alternative,B being chosen during the process. In addition to the found in the Plan the CAC developed a list Of its oWn, _ recommendations that they wanted fOrrarded to Conntil These recommendations are proposed as Recommended Action Measures to be added to the Comp Plan transportation chapt.er. • The Tigard 99W Plan was completed in june 2007.

It seems to me that given the very difficult issues we're facing and the fact that Tigard is more greatly impacted by 99W than any other community; that no discussion about what we're-going to do with that.road ought to go forward without having at • least some kind of conversation about Whitt the fiscal impactsfOf a tollJ cite,-, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:MINUTES-March 2,,2009-Page 4 of 5 • • tint/what the impacts are; on the volume of traffic: .SO there's my speech on the tolling issue: I think what we're supposed to be doing tonight is do we have any questions or input on what's been added to the Comp Plan for transportation based on Alternative B.

President Inman answered we veered off topic a bit because I wanted to allow'Commissioner Vermilyea to have his say on something 3 he feels passionate about: There were further general questions including where a tail might be located along Hwy 99W.-There WAS a suggestion that a:"reversible lane" could possibly put on Hwy 99W: At this point, the Commissioners went through the document(Land Use Application Narrative (proposed amendments) at length, and made various-recommendations,which staff took note of. 7: OTHER BUSINESS. 1 8.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2008-00011 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: Tigard Transportation Plan and Comprehensive Plan Amendments to Incorporate Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan Recommendations PUBLIC HEARING OPENED Darren Wyss, Senior Planner, presented the staff report on behalf of the City. [Staff reports are available for public review at the City one week prior to public hearings.] Wyss said the Planning Commission was being asked to make a recommendation to City Council on CPA2008-00011, which will amend the Tigard TSP and Comp Plan. He noted the Commission previously held a workshop on the proposed amendment on March 2, 2009. He said the proposed amendments will incorporate recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan and those made by the project's Citizen Advisory Committee [CAC]. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 2 of 9 • • Wyss highlighted a few components of the process: • Intended to develop concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. • The primary focus was to identify potential projects aimed at alleviating congestion and improving circulation. • The planning process ended up evaluating three alternatives • A—partial widening of 99W thru Tigard • B —access management strategy in Tigard • C —Widening of 99W to 7 lanes thru Tigard Wyss noted that in the end,Alternative B was chosen as the preferred alternative as it best met the project objectives and criteria while carrying the fewest negative impacts. He said it was important to keep in mind that choosing Alternative B was not done in a vacuum. Both public involvement and interagency coordination factored into choosing the preferred alternative. The proposed amendments found in CPA2008-00011 were developed as a result of Alternative B being chosen. In addition to the recommendation found in the Plan, the CAC developed a list of its own recommendations to Council which are included as proposed Recommended Action Measures to be added to the Comp Plan transportation chapter. He said the proposed amendments are divided into the following four components: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee; and 4. Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended through lanes for Highway 99W. (Staff recommended for consistency with TSP amendments.) Wyss noted a few minor changes had been made to the proposed amendments since the PC workshop on March 2, 2009. These changes were based on two things: • PC feedback at the workshop • Comments sent in by ODOT and Beaverton At this point Wyss went over a PowerPoint presentation. (Exhibit A) QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS Is `function"defined? We can do that. PUBLIC TESTIMONY IN FAVOR—No one signed up to speak in favor. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES-April 6,2009-Page 3 of 9 • • PUBLIC TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION—No one signed up to speak in opposition. President Inman asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on this. Sue Beilke, 11755 SW 114th Place, Tigard, had a couple of questions regarding changes Wyss had made to table 11-4 and 11-5 —which he answered to her satisfaction. PUBLIC TESTIMONY CLOSED DELIBERATIONS/MOTION After a short deliberation, there was a motion by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Commissioner Caffall: "I move the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council of application CPA2008-00011 and recommend the City Council adopt the amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and Tigard Comprehensive Plan as found in Exhibit A [of staff report]." The motion passed unanimously on a recorded vote, the Commissioners voted as follows: AYES: Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Caffall, Commissioner Doherty, Commissioner Hasman, Commissioner Inman, Commissioner Muldoon, and Commissioner Walsh (7) NAYS: None (0) ABSTAINERS: None (0) ABSENT: Commissioners Fishel and Vermilyea (2) After the vote,Wyss was reminded that they would like him to add the definition of "function." He said he would. President Inman noted this will go to Council's 6/23/09 Business Meeting. 5.2 PUBLIC HEARING (Continued from 2-23-09) DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT (DCA) 2008-00005 - SENSITIVE LANDS PERMIT REQUIREMENTS - On behalf of the City, Gary Pagenstecher,Associate Planner, handed out a revised memo (Exhibit B) with the changes in red. He said they offer a refinement in staff recommendation — Option 3.c [3.c states: "Pedestrian/bicycle pathways within the floodplain shall include a wildlife assessment to ensure that the proposed alignment minimizes impacts to significant wildlife habitat."] He said there were some comments [from Brian Wegener &John Frewing] at the back of that memo as well as a memo from Public PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 4 of 9 • • Works, Steve Martin [Parks &.Facilities Manager]. Pagenstecher went over the memo which, he said, reflects the input he'd received. Pagenstecher said there were basically two issues: 1) the elevation criteria; and 2) the wildlife habitat issue. The revised recommendation gets rid of the elevation criteria altogether and instead requires a wildlife assessment for pathways within the floodplain. Briefly, the elevation criteria were originally designed for structure, protection, and maintenance. He said the Public Works memo spoke to that advising him that it simply wasn't an issue. Adding a criterion for wildlife is recommended for trails in the flood plain. QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS There was a general question about the difference between bike and pedestrian impacts. PUBLIC TESTIMONY— IN FAVOR—No one was signed up to speak in favor. PUBLIC TESTIMONY— IN OPPOSITION — John Frewing, 7110 SW Lola Lane, Tigard, OR spoke in opposition. He went over his written submitted comments at the back of the packet (back of Exhibit B). With regard to- 3.c— he said there were several things that caused him concern. He'd like to see 3.c changed to say "pedestrian or bicycle pathways which are either replaced, new, or modified from this. date forward, shall include this wildlife assessment." Secondly, he asked "what is a wildlife assessment?" He said he can do a wildlife assessment in about 1 second. Someone else may take more time because it involves fish, or birds, or frogs, or whatever — are there standards that we can reference in that regard? He said he doesn't know. "Thirdly, you've used the word "significant wildlife habitat" that in our [Tigard] code — there's a map of significant wildlife habitat adopted for Goal 5 and I presume that's what you mean, but it doesn't say that here." He went on to say that "CWS right now has a waiver for existing roads and trails in these low lying areas and so anything that exists that you're going to modify, repave, or replace escapes through that provision of CWS. And I don't want it to escape. I want it to have the wildlife assessment." Pagenstecher answered that any trail would go through a design development process and where trails are, for instance, modified for width, you would expect to have an assessment because they would be "new" trails and would be subject to the criterion for pathways in a floodplain. Frewing said that was comforting to him. He then asked about the standard for wildlife assessment. Pagenstecher said there is no criterion for wildlife assessment at this time. It's not in the code and not proposed here. There are standards for it. There are wildlife assessments — they are ordered for a purpose. Secondly, Frewing asked whether wildlife assessment would be done at one point in time, or done over several important seasons. Pagenstecher said wildlife assessments indicate time of year done and try to accommodate for that. Frewing said seasonal differences should be picked up in a wildlife assessment. Did you say that would be picked up? Pagenstecher said yes, I think that would PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 5 of 9 II/ • be picked up. Frewing: Lastly, does "significant wildlife habitat" correspond to the city's map? Pagenstecher: What we're talking about here is a criterion that applies specifically to floodplains in the City of Tigard. Floodplains correlate with the highest height and limit value on the habitat map. Frewing: Okay— so it refers to the map. Pagenstecher: Yes. Erik Lindstrom, 6801 SW Canyon Crest Drive, Portland 97225 spoke in opposition— He thanked Gary for meeting with them on Friday and answering many of his concerns. He said he'd studied the watershed very intently for two years as part of writing a book about Fanno Creek. He spoke about management of ecosystem services and wildlife habitat within the City limits. He said he was concerned about the process itself. He doesn't like the idea of modifying code to meet the plan. He's not convinced the details are there that the certain damage that will occur to the watershed as a result of this is mitigated and offset by other activities. There were no questions from staff. Sue Beilke, 11755 SW 114th Place, Tigard spoke in opposition. She handed out her comments in written form and went over them (Exhibit C). There were no questions from staff. Brian Wegener, 12360 SW Main Street, Suite 100, Tigard, OR of the Tualatin Riverkeepers hadn't signed up, but spoke in opposition. He said he's concerned about bicycle road kills in these sensitive areas. He'd seen some of them. He's also concerned about trail washouts. Impacts should be minimized. He thinks the wildlife assessment should be defined. He's hoping this will be a "win-win" situation. He likes trails and access to nature but wants to make sure we are not taking away that nature by putting those trails in. QUESTIONS FROM STAFF: What do you believe is the solution? The solution could be perhaps putting trails going through wet areas up on pilings. In a slope situation —there are a lot of different choices. Reduce impervious areas that are causing stormwater run-off- that's very important to areas close to the streams. QUESTIONS OF STAFF Did ODF&W further comment? No. Pagenstecher said he called to follow up on their first comment. He said the comment was global in that when there's a limited resource— generally speaking, the policy is —protect it whenever you can. He said that's consistent with their mission. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 6 of 9 • • Is there the possibility of the looking at what sort of surface— what the trail's going to be made out of— before a trail is put in a floodplain?Is there any possibility in this code to go through and have that as part of the criteria? There are opportunities to introduce and apply green [environmentally friendly] trail criterion in the design development of any trail segment that the City may undertake. PUBLIC TESTIMONY CLOSED DELIBERATIONS President Inman said a floodplain is not necessarily a natural resource area so, potentially, we could be requiring wildlife assessments for a parking lot. She believes this is above and beyond other standards that are currently out there, and potentially onerous. She said she leans towards faith in CWS and other regulations as far as protecting resources and buffers = there's a dedicated public who will follow the development of the plan and will give input with regard to paths. That being said, she's not opposed to adding a wildlife assessment. The commissioners deliberated at length. MOTION After deliberations, there was a motion by Commissioner Muldoon, seconded by Commissioner Hasman: "I move we adopt DCA2008-00005 Sensitive Lands Permit Requirement, selecting Option 3.c as amended April 6, 2009." The motion passed on a recorded vote - the Commissioners voted as follows: AYES: Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Cattail, Commissioner Doherty, Commissioner Hasman, Commissioner Inman, and Commissioner Muldoon (5) NAYS: Commissioner Walsh (1) ABSTAINERS: None (0) ABSENT: Commissioners Fishel and Vermilyea (2) PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED President Inman noted this will go to the 5/12/09 Council Business Meeting. 6. URBAN FORESTRY MASTERPLAN City Arborist,Todd Prager, said the slide presentation he was about to present highlights the packet that was distributed to the commissioners earlier. He encouraged them to review the PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 7 of 9 • • packet over the corning months to become familiar with the data that's been collected thus far for the Urban Forestry Master Plan. At this point he went over his slide presentation as an update of the Master Plan (Exhibit D). QUESTIONS FOR STAFF Why has the tree canopy decreased? Dick Bewersdorff, Planning Manager, answered, "There'd been more development in those years than we've ever had in Tigard." Prager added, "The fragmentation where the larger groves were being replaced with smaller individual plantings may indicate that the mitigation is helping to restore canopy in these residential zones." There were a few other questions and then the commissioners thanked Prager for a presentation they said was well done. 7. OTHER BUSINESS — Joint Meeting on April 21st—Tuesday—ideas for topics: The commissioners talked about some of the topics they may wish to discuss at that meeting. The consensus was that their main topic would be that of communication between the Council and the Commission; specifically,if Council chooses to over-ride one of their recommendations. They wondered what the plan is to communicate Council's reasoning as to why they disagree. Minutes: Planning Commission Bylaws -Article IV Section 12.E There was a decision to change the way the Commission considers/approves minutes. It was decided that,in light of the heretofore overlooked portion of the bylaws (below), in the future they would approve them differently than in the past. Article IV Section 12.E of the Planning Commission bylaws states: "Commissioners are expected to vote for approval of the minutes based on the accuracy of representation of events at the meeting.If there are no corrections, the President may declare the minutes approved as presented, without the need for a motion and vote. A vote in favor of adopting minutes does not signify agreement or disagreement with the Commission's actions memorialized in the minutes." So, if after asking if there are any corrections and, there being none, the President may declare the minutes "approved as presented"without the need for a motion and vote.

The study shall address, at a minimum, the transportation system, including bikeways, the drainage system,the parks system,the water system,the sewer system and the noise impacts of the development. For each public facility system and type of impact, the study shall propose improvements necessary to meet City standards, and to minimize the impact of the development on the public at large, public facilities systems, and affected private property users. In situations where the Community Development Code requires the dedication of real property interests, the applicant shall either specifically concur with the dedication requirement, or provide evidence which supports the conclusion that the real property dedication requirement is not roughly proportional to the projected impacts of the development. ❑ ACCESS (Refer to Chapters 18.705 and 18.765) Minimum number of accesses: Minimum access width: Minimum pavement width: n WALKWAY REQUIREMENTS (Refer to Code Chapter 18.705) Within all ATTACHED HOUSING (except two-family dwellings) and multi-family developments,each residential dwelling SHALL BE CONNECTED BY WALKWAY TO THE VEHICULAR PARKING AREA, COMMON OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION FACILITIES. ❑ RESIDENTIAL DENSITY CALCULATION (Refer to Code Chapter 18.715) - SEE EXAMPLE BELOW. The NET RESIDENTIAL UNITS ALLOWED on a particular site may be calculated by dividing the net area of the developable land by the minimum number of square feet required per dwelling unit as specified by the applicable zoning designation. Net development area is calculated by subtracting the following land area(s) from the gross site area: All sensitive lands areas including: to Land within the 100-year floodplain; Slopes exceeding 25%; Drainageways;and Wetlands for the R-1,R 2,R-3.5,R 4.5 and R-7 zoning districts. Public right-of-way dedication: Single-family allocate 20% of gross acres for public facilities; or ® Multi-family allocate 15% of gross acres for_public facilities;or If available,the actual public facility square footage can be used for deduction. EXAMPLE OF RESIDENTIAL DENSITY CALCULATIONS: (USING A ONE ACRE SITE IN THE R-12 ZONE (3,050 MINIMUM LOT SIZE)WITH NO DEDUCTION FOR SENSITIVE LANDS) Single-Family Multi-Family 43,560 sq.ft.of gross site area 43,560 sq.ft.of gross site area 8,712 sq.ft.(20%)for public right-of-way 6,534 sq.ft.(15%)_for public right-of-way NET: 34,848 square feet NET: 37,026 square feet 3,050(minimum lot area) - 3,050(minimum lot area) = 11.4 Units Per Acre = 12.1 Units Per Acre Note: The Development Code requires that the net site area exist for the next whole dwelling unit.

Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 1 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • • BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History Traffic congestion consistently ranked as the number one issue with Tigard citizens in three community surveys performed during the past three years. Citizens specifically identified congestion on Highway 99W as a major problem, and expressed great concern about its adverse effect on access to the Tigard Downtown area and the region as a whole. This highway carries 50,000 vehicles per day,half of which is regional through traffic, and is currently overwhelmed by the existing traffic volumes. At peak travel hours, cut-through traffic uses the City of Tigard's street system to avoid the Highway 99W traffic congestion. This often causes safety and livability issues in residential neighborhoods. In recognition of the citizen concerns regarding the heavy traffic congestion on Highway 99W, the Tigard City Council established a goal in 2005 to improve the Highway 99W corridor, and continued that goal into 2006. To develop solutions to the traffic congestion on the highway, the City applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan). Through a planning and public involvement process the project developed concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and recommended additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. Development of the Tigard 99W Plan included detailed analysis of needs, opportunities,market analysis of redevelopment potential in the corridor, and comparative evaluation of concept plan alternatives. The primary focus of the Tigard 99W Plan is identifying projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion and improving traffic circulation within the highway corridor from Durham Road to the I-5 interchange. It builds on previous studies and was developed through a planning process of four key steps: • Establish inventory of existing conditions • Analyze needs, opportunities and constraints • Develop alternative improvement concepts • Compare and evaluate alternative concepts Three alternatives were evaluated to assess the impact each would have on the transportation deficiencies in the corridor. Alternative A evaluated partial widening of 99W through Tigard to seven lanes and Alternative C evaluated widening to seven lanes for the entire length. Both were rejected for cost,right-of-way impacts, and quality of life concerns.The preferred alternative (Alternative B) was an access management strategy. Alternative B proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management,intersection improvements, parallel roadway connections, and other off-highway improvements. The development of the Tigard 99W Plan included both public involvement and interagency coordination.A project citizen advisory committee (CAC) and technical advisory committee (TAG) were appointed to review and comment on the plan as it developed. In addition, three open houses and citizen stakeholder interviews were held. Both the CAC and TAC recommended that Alternative B be the preferred option. The CAC also submitted certain policy- related recommendations,with the help of ODOT staff, pertaining to the future of Highway 99W. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation Plan (TSP) originate from the recommendations found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan. These recommendations are Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 2 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • 1111 intended to implement Alternative B. The CAC,TAC, City staff, and ODOT staff, all recommend City Council adopt and implement the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan include incorporating the CAC policy-related recommendations and rewording Goal 12.2,Policy 6.A to be consistent with the TSP. The Tigard City Council held a work session on the Tigard 99WWPlan on November 20, 2007. Council discussed the recommendations and directed staff to prepare the Tigard TSP and Comprehensive Plan amendments necessary to implement the Tigard 99W"Plan and bring them before the Tigard Planning Commission. Proposal Description The City is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee;and 4. Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended 5 through lanes for Highway 99W. The proposed text amendments are represented as bold italics for proposed new language and sulk-teugh for proposed deleted language. Proposed graphic changes are called out and described. Part 1: Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; The proposed amendments are specific strikethrough and figure changes to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The proposed amendments reflect improvements associated with Alternative B in the Tigard 99W/Plan. Many of the changes are in tables or reference illustration changes and are listed below. There are 27 proposed modifications (each amendment can be found as a separate page beginning on page 7). • Proposed Amendment 1 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan List along ORE 99W to include a sidewalk project scope and cost. • Proposed Amendment 2 updates the Bicycle Master Plan description of bicycle lanes south of Gaarde/McDonald to Durham Road to note that these facilities are existing, not planned. • Proposed Amendment 3 updates the Bicycle Action Plan Improvement List and Cost. • Proposed Amendment 4, 5, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 26 advises that both the TSP and RTP should be amended to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current designation to widen ORE 99W to 7 lanes. • Proposed Amendment 6 and 20 add intersection improvements to Durham Road and SW Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 3 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • • Canterbury Lane. • Proposed Amendment 7 updates potential pedestrian projects along ORE 99W to increase project scope. • Proposed Amendments 8 and 9 add pedestrian activated signalized crossings. • Proposed Amendment 11 updates a Park And Ride location. • Proposed Amendment 10 updates plan to include existing bike lanes just north of SW Greenburg Road. • Proposed Amendment 12 updates potential transit projects to implement transit queue bypass lanes along ORE 99W at several locations. • Proposed amendments 14, 15 and 16 encourage access management for highway 99W. • Proposed Amendment 21 updates the table to include specific projects and add project intersections. • Proposed Amendment 22, 23 and 24 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan project list funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 25 updates the Bicycle Action Plan funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 27 updates the City of Tigard Future Intersection Improvements table to include specific projects and add projects at the several intersections. Part 2: Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. The Transportation Planning Rule, OAR 660 Division 12,requires local jurisdictions to prepare and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. 24. Prior to implementation of projects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware of pending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. 25. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed I-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 4 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible;and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the I-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99W improvements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. • 28. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99Wproblems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique.A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32 Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. If light rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, staffresources shall be committed to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 5 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • • Part 4:Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five through lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 99WManagement and Improvement Plan recommends amendments to the Tigard TSP to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes. To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2. The proposed amendment will include language to define the recommended five lanes as "through lanes". Staff feels this definition is necessary to provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function,ingress/egress spacing, and access management. This would effectively generate four thru-lanes and up to two temporary/short duration/turn lanes for access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A. Highway 99W should be widened to 6 5 through lanes plus auxiliary lanes through intersections throughout the study area (tool box). This improvement should be constructed in the short term. In the event that widening Highway 99 to six 5 through lanes plus auxiliary lanes through intersections is prohibitive due to physical constraints, the Dartmouth extension could potentially provide needed northeast-to-southwest travel demand. The 27 proposed amendments from Part 1 are found individually beginning on the following page.

Chapter 7 Transit ��''' CITY OF TIGARD OQecON This chapter summarizes existing and future transit needs in the City of Tigard. The following sections outline the criteria to be used to evaluate needs, provides a number of strategies for implementing a transit plan and recommends a transit plan for the City of Tigard. The needs, criteria and strategies were identified in working with the City's TSP Task Force. This committee provided input regarding the transportation system in Tigard, specifically exploring transit needs. The methodology used to develop the transit plan combined citizen and staff input. NEEDS There are currently 12 fixed bus routes which provide service within the City of Tigard. These bus routes are summarized in Chapter 3 (Existing Conditions). There are four express routes providing service to Tigard residents (12E, 64X, 92X and 95X). Existing transit headways on bus routes in Tigard range from 10-15 minutes on Routes 12 and 92X to about 30 minutes on Routes 76 and 78 during peak commute periods. Metro's Draft Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) identifies the following routes on its Public Transportation System Map (Figure 7-1)1: • ORE 217 HCT Corridor • Greenburg/Hall/Durham HCT Corridor • ORE 99W(East of ORE 217) HCT Corridor • Hall Boulevard (North of ORE 217) Frequent Bus • Hunziker Street Frequent Bus • ORE 99W (West of ORE 217) Primary Bus • Scholls Ferry Road (East of Murray) Primary Bus • 121 st/Walnut Street Primary Bus • 68th Parkway/Hampton Street Primary Bus • 72nd Avenue (South of Hampton) Primary Bus Based upon these designations, the City of Tigard designates all bus stops on HCT Corridors and Frequent Bus routes as Major Transit Stops. In addition, all park and ride sites and transit stations are designated major transit stops (Downtown Tigard, Washington Square, park and ride at ORE 99W/ 2 hd °nue74th Avenue). While Tri-Met bus ridership in Tigard increased by 35% from 1990 to 1994 and another 15%from 1994 to 1999 (comparing 12 routes), transit ridership represents 6 percent of Tigard PM peak hour trip making. 1 Public Transportation System Map, Metro,Version 4.0, December 1, 1997.

ORE 99W fails in the future without improvement. Of all the regional transportation issues in Tigard, ORE 99W is probably the closest to a"rubik's cube". Tigard depends heavily on ORE 99W as its primary arterial. There are no parallel routes to ORE 99W and its diagonal alignment and the physical features of Tigard make using ORE 99W essential for also any trip in Tigard. ORE 99W's statewide status and linkage to Yamhill County and the Oregon Coast have similar issues—the only route servicing northeast-southwest travel. The future demand for this corridor is well beyond its five lane capacity without system-wide improvements. Ten various alternatives to improving ORE 99W were investigated, ranging from the no improvement to radical capacity improvements. Table 8-5 summarizes the wide range of alternatives. Unfortunately, no one improvement results in desirable (better than level of service F) operation. The most significant finding was that no matter whether ORE 99W was widened southwest of Greenburg Road, the end result was failure. Added capacity on ORE 99W (tested by modeling seven lanes) resulted in significantly higher turning movements on/off ORE 99W and large through movements on ORE 99W. The end result was that not only would you have to widen to seven lanes but at nearly every intersection additional turning lanes were needed (double lefts, right turn) creating nearly a 10 lane cross section at intersection. And even after that the end result was level of service F conditions. Therefore the recommended approach combines several elements to produce a minimally acceptable operating condition. The TSP recommends: 1) -. - : !

Update text to "ORE 99W s access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. " Tigard Triangle Area. This subarea is also subject of a recently adopted plan. The basic package of street improvements needed to mitigate level of service F conditions in this area include: • ORE 99W 3cvcn lanc3 access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. • Dartmouth Street five lanes • 72nd Avenue five lanes • Atlanta Street extended from Haines Street to 72"d Avenue • Backage roads to ORE 99W (providing access to business but not directly on ORE 99W) Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 20 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • • Proposed Amendment 16: TSP Chapter 8: Motor Vehicles Committee Recommendation: Page 8-38: Table, third item: Update text to 'Level of service F conditions result in Tigard Triangle without 7 lanes.

Other options considered in this sub area included a Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing of ORE 217, an extension of Atlanta Street to Dartmouth Street and five lanes on ORE 99W. The following summarizes the findings of these options: Dartmouth Attracts less than 5,000 vehicles per day by itself; extend Walnut to link to Hunziker up with the overcrossing of ORE 217 and the volume increase to 8,000 ORE 217 per day. Implement complete ramp metering in the Tigard Triangle Overcrossi area (on ORE 217 and 1-5) and the volume increases to 13,000 ng vehicles per day. Most of the traffic benefits of the overcrossing are produced with the Hunziker to Hampton overcrossing and the Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing has limited additional benefit. Unfortunately, ORE 99W still requires mitigation with or without overcrossing; access to ORE 217 would not be allowed by ODOT due to substandard spacing resulting in unsafe operation at large expense. One option where this overcrossing may be desirable in the future would be where ramp metering is fully operational and improvements to ORE 217 include a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane alternative where direct connections to ORE 99W are desired. The Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing could provide access to the Tigard Triangle and ORE 99W area via drop in ramps. Therefore, a potential alignment should be preserved for future consideration (where the alignment would go through parking lots). However, the overcrossing is not part of the street improvement plan in the TSP. Atlanta While the Atlanta extension to 72"d is 10,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day Extension the segment to the south connecting to Dartmouth is well below that to level. Recent development has blocked an optimal alignment. Dartmouth Backage roads will be more effective in this setting. The TSP includes the Atlanta extension to 72nd and backage roads with redevelopment. Five lane = - - - - - -- -- -- - - - - - _ _ . _ _ .

Pre-application Narrative Final City of Tigard Transportation System Plan PAGE 1 OF 6 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA2008-00010 2/23/2009 • BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History Traffic congestion consistently ranked as the number one issue with Tigard citizens in three community surveys performed during the past three years. Citizens specifically identified congestion on Highway 99W as a major problem, and expressed great concern about its adverse effect on access to the Tigard Downtown area and the region as a whole. This highway carries 50,000 vehicles per day, half of which is regional through traffic, and is currently overwhelmed by the existing traffic volumes. At peak travel hours, cut-through traffic uses the City of Tigard's street system to avoid the Highway 99W traffic congestion. This often causes safety and livability issues in residential neighborhoods. In recognition of the citizen concerns regarding the heavy traffic congestion on Highway 99W, the Tigard City Council established a goal in 2005 to improve the Highway 99W corridor, and continued that goal into 2006. To develop solutions to the traffic congestion on the highway, the City applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan). Through a planning and public involvement process the project developed concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and recommended additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. Development of the Tigard 99W Plan included detailed analysis of needs, opportunities, market analysis of redevelopment potential in the corridor, and comparative evaluation of concept plan alternatives. The primary focus of the Tigard 99W Plan is identifying projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion and improving traffic circulation within the highway corridor from Durham Road to the I-5 interchange. It builds on previous studies and was developed through a planning process of four key steps: • Establish inventory of existing conditions • Analyze needs, opportunities and constraints • Develop alternative improvement concepts • Compare and evaluate alternative concepts Three alternatives were evaluated to assess the impact each would have on the transportation deficiencies in the corridor. Alternative A evaluated partial widening of 99W through Tigard to seven lanes and Alternative C evaluated widening to seven lanes for the entire length. Both were rejected for cost, right-of-way impacts, and quality of life concerns.The preferred alternative (Alternative B) was an access management strategy. Alternative B proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management,intersection improvements,parallel roadway connections, and other off-highway improvements. The development of the Tigard 99W Plan included both public involvement and interagency coordination. A project citizen advisory committee (CAC) and technical advisory committee (TAC) were appointed to review and comment on the plan as it developed. In addition, three open houses and citizen stakeholder interviews were held. Both the CAC and TAC recommended that Alternative B be the preferred option. The CAC also submitted certain policy- related recommendations,with the help of ODOT staff,pertaining to the future of Highway 99W. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation Plan (TSP) originate from the recommendations found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan. These recommendations are Pre-application Narrative Final City of Tigard Transportation System Plan PAGE 2 OF 6 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA2008-00010 2/23/2009 • • intended to implement Alternative B. The CAC, TAC, City staff, and ODOT staff, all recommend City Council adopt and implement the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan include incorporating the CAC policy-related recommendations and rewording Goal 12.2, Policy 6.A to be consistent with the TSP. The Tigard City Council held a work session on the Tigard 99W Plan on November 20, 2007. Council discussed the recommendations and directed staff to prepare the Tigard TSP and Comprehensive Plan amendments necessary to implement the Tigard 99W Plan and bring them before the Tigard Planning Commission. Proposal Description The City is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee;and . 4. Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended 5 through lanes for Highway 99W. The proposed text amendments are represented as bold italics for proposed new language and atrike through for proposed deleted language. Proposed graphic changes are called out and described. Part 1: Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; The proposed amendments are specific strikethrough and figure changes to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The proposed amendments reflect improvements associated with Alternative B in the Tigard 99W Plan. Many of the changes are in tables or reference illustration changes and are listed below. There are 27 proposed modifications (each amendment can be found as a separate page beginning on page 7). • Proposed Amendment 1 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan List along ORE 99W to include a sidewalk project scope and cost. • Proposed Amendment 2 updates the Bicycle Master Plan description of bicycle lanes south of Gaarde/McDonald to Durham Road to note that these facilities are existing, not planned. • Proposed Amendment 3 updates the Bicycle Action Plan Improvement List and Cost. • Proposed Amendment 4, 5, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 26 advises that both the TSP and RTP should be amended to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current designation to widen ORE 99W to 7 lanes. • Proposed Amendment 6 and 20 add intersection improvements to Durham Road and SW Pre-application Narrative Final City of Tigard Transportation System Plan PAGE 3 OF 6 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA2008-00010 2/23/2009 • • ti Canterbury Lane. • Proposed Amendment 7 updates potential pedestrian projects along ORE 99W to increase project scope. • Proposed Amendments 8 and 9 add pedestrian activated signalized crossings. • Proposed Amendment 11 updates a Park And Ride location. • Proposed Amendment 10 updates plan to include existing bike lanes just north of SW Greenburg Road. • Proposed Amendment 12 updates potential transit projects to implement transit queue bypass lanes along ORE 99W at several locations. • Proposed amendments 14, 15 and 16 encourage access management for highway 99W. • Proposed Amendment 21 updates the table to include specific projects and add project intersections. • Proposed Amendment 22, 23 and 24 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan project list funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 25 updates the Bicycle Action Plan funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 27 updates the City of Tigard Future Intersection Improvements table to include specific projects and add projects at the several intersections. Part 2: Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. The Transportation Planning Rule, OAR 660 Division 12, requires local jurisdictions to prepare and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99WPlan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. 24. Prior to implementation ofprojects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware ofpending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. 25. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed I-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight Pre-application Narrative Final City of Tigard Transportation System Plan PAGE 4 OF 6 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA2008-00010 2/23/2009 • • movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible;and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the I-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits offuture Highway 99Wimprovements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 28. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99Wproblems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique.A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective oflight rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. Iflight rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, staff resources shall be committed to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. Pre-application Narrative Final City of Tigard Transportation System Plan PAGE 5 OF 6 Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA2008-00010 2/23/2009 • 0 Part 4:Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five through lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 99W Management and Improvement Plan recommends amendments to the Tigard TSP to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes. To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2. The proposed amendment will include language to define the recommended five lanes as "through lanes". Staff feels this definition is necessary to provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function, ingress/egress spacing, and access management.This would effectively generate four thru-lanes and up to two temporary/short duration/turn lanes for access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A. Highway 99W should be widened to 6 5 through lanes plus auxiliary lanes through intersections throughout the study area (tool box). This improvement should be constructed in the short term. In the event that widening Highway 99 to six 5 through lanes plus auxiliary lanes through intersections is prohibitive due to physical constraints, the Dartmouth extension could potentially provide needed northeast-to-southwest travel demand.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2008-00011 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: Tigard Transportation Plan and Comprehensive Plan Amendments to Incorporate Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan Recommendations PUBLIC HEARING OPENED Darren Wyss, Senior Planner, presented the staff report on behalf of the City. [Staff reports are available for public review at the City one week prior to public hearings.] Wyss said the Planning Commission was being asked to make a recommendation to City Council on CPA2008-00011, which will amend the Tigard TSP and Comp Plan. He noted the Commission previously held a workshop on the proposed amendment on March 2, 2009. He said the proposed amendments will incorporate recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan and those made by the project's Citizen Advisory Committee [CAC]. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 2 of 9 • • Wyss highlighted a few components of the process: • Intended to develop concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. • The primary focus was to identify potential projects aimed at alleviating congestion and improving circulation. • The planning process ended up evaluating three alternatives • A—partial widening of 99W thru Tigard • B — access management strategy in Tigard • C —Widening of 99W to 7 lanes thru Tigard Wyss noted that in the end, Alternative B was chosen as the preferred alternative as it best met the project objectives and criteria while carrying the fewest negative impacts. He said it was important to keep in mind that choosing Alternative B was not done in a vacuum. Both public involvement and interagency coordination factored into choosing the preferred alternative. The proposed amendments found in CPA2008-00011 were developed as a result of Alternative B being chosen. In addition to the recommendation found in the Plan, the CAC developed a list of its own recommendations to Council which are included as proposed Recommended Action Measures to be added to the Comp Plan transportation chapter. He said the proposed amendments are divided into the following four components: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W/Plan Citizen Advisory Committee; and 4. Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended through lanes for Highway 99W. (Staff recommended for consistency with TSP amendments.) Wyss noted a few minor changes had been made to the proposed amendments since the PC workshop on March 2, 2009. These changes were based on two things: • PC feedback at the workshop • Comments sent in by ODOT and Beaverton At this point Wyss went over a PowerPoint presentation. (Exhibit A) QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS Is `function"defined? We can do that. PUBLIC TESTIMONY IN FAVOR—No one signed up to speak in favor. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 3 of 9 • • PUBLIC TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION—No one signed up to speak in opposition. President Inman asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on this. Sue Beilke, 11755 SW 114th Place,Tigard, had a couple of questions regarding changes Wyss had made to table 11-4 and 11-5 —which he answered to her satisfaction. PUBLIC TESTIMONY CLOSED DELIBERATIONS/MOTION After a short deliberation, there was a motion by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Commissioner Caffall: "I move the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council of application CPA2008-00011 and recommend the City Council adopt the amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and Tigard Comprehensive Plan as found in Exhibit A [of staff report]." The motion passed unanimously on a recorded vote, the Commissioners voted as follows: AYES: Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Caffall, Commissioner Doherty, Commissioner Hasman, Commissioner Inman, Commissioner Muldoon, and Commissioner Walsh (7) NAYS: None (0) ABSTAINERS: None (0) ABSENT: Commissioners Fishel and Vermilyea (2) After the vote, Wyss was reminded that they would like him to add the definition of "function." He said he would. President Inman noted this will go to Council's 6/23/09 Business Meeting. 5.2 PUBLIC HEARING (Continued from 2-23-09) DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT (DCA) 2008-00005 - SENSITIVE LANDS PERMIT REQUIREMENTS - On behalf of the City, Gary Pagenstecher,Associate Planner, handed out a revised memo (Exhibit B) with the changes in red. He said they offer a refinement in staff recommendation —.Option 3.c [3.c states: "Pedestrian/bicycle pathways within the floodplain shall include a wildlife assessment to ensure that the proposed alignment minimizes impacts to significant wildlife habitat."] He said there were some comments [from Brian Wegener&John Frewing} at the back of that memo as well as a memo from Public PLANNING COMMISSION MELTING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 4 of 9 • • Works, Steve Martin [Parks & Facilities Manager]. Pagenstecher went over the memo which, he said, reflects the input he'd received. Pagenstecher said there were basically two issues: 1) the elevation criteria; and 2) the wildlife habitat issue. The revised recommendation gets rid of the elevation criteria altogether and instead requires a wildlife assessment for pathways within the floodplain. Briefly, the elevation criteria were originally designed for structure, protection, and maintenance. He said the Public Works memo spoke to that advising him that it simply wasn't an issue. Adding a criterion for wildlife is recommended for trails in the flood plain. QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS There was a general question about the difference between bike and pedestrian impacts. PUBLIC TESTIMONY— IN FAVOR—No one was signed up to speak in favor. PUBLIC TESTIMONY— IN OPPOSITION— John Frewing, 7110 SW.Lola Lane, Tigard, OR spoke in opposition. He went over his written submitted comments at the back of the packet (back of Exhibit B). With regard to 3.c— he said there were several things that caused him concern. He'd like to see 3.c changed to say "pedestrian or bicycle pathways which are either replaced, new, or modified from this date forward, shall include this wildlife assessment." Secondly, he asked `what is a wildlife assessment?" He said he can do a wildlife assessment in about 1 second. Someone else may take more time because it involves fish, or birds, or frogs, or whatever — are there standards that we can reference in that regard? He said he doesn't know. "Thirdly, you've used the word "significant wildlife habitat" that in our [Tigard] code — there's a map of significant wildlife habitat adopted for Goal 5 and I presume that's what you mean, but it doesn't say that here." He went on to say that "CWS right now has a waiver for existing roads and trails in these low lying areas and so anything that exists that you're going to modify, repave, or replace escapes through that provision of CWS. And I don't want it to escape. I want it to have the wildlife assessment." Pagenstecher answered that any trail would go through a design development process and where trails are, for instance, modified for width, you would expect to have an assessment because they would be "new" trails and would be subject to the.criterion for.pathways in a floodplain. Frewing said that was comforting to him. He then asked about the standard for wildlife assessment. Pagenstecher said there is no criterion for wildlife assessment at this . time. It's not in the code and not proposed here. There are standards for it. There are wildlife assessments—they are ordered for a purpose. Secondly, Frewing asked whether wildlife assessment would be done at one point in time, or done over several important seasons. Pagenstecher said wildlife assessments indicate time of year done and try to accommodate for that. Frewing said seasonal differences should be picked up in a wildlife assessment. Did you say that would be picked up? Pagenstecher said yes, I think that would PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 5 of 9 • • • be picked up. Frewing: Lastly, does "significant wildlife habitat" correspond to the city's map? Pagenstecher: What we're talking about here is a criterion that applies specifically to floodplains in the City of Tigard. Floodplains correlate with the highest height and limit value on the habitat map. Frewing: Okay— so it refers to the map. Pagenstecher: Yes. Erik Lindstrom, 6801 SW Canyon Crest Drive, Portland 97225 spoke in opposition— He thanked Gary for meeting with them on Friday and answering many of his concerns. He said he'd studied the watershed very intently for two years as part of writing a book about Fanno Creek. He spoke about management of ecosystem services and wildlife habitat within the City limits. He said he was concerned about the process itself. He doesn't like the idea of modifying code to meet the plan. He's not convinced the details are there that the certain damage that will occur to the watershed as a result of this is mitigated and offset by other activities. There were no questions from staff. Sue Beilke, 11755 SW 114th Place, Tigard spoke in opposition. She handed out her comments in written form and went over them (Exhibit C). There were no questions from staff. Brian Wegener, 12360 SW Main Street, Suite 100, Tigard, OR of the Tualatin Riverkeepers hadn't signed up, but spoke in opposition. He said he's concerned about bicycle road kills in these sensitive areas. He'd seen some of them. He's also concerned about trail washouts. Impacts should be minimized. He thinks the wildlife assessment should be defined. He's hoping this will be a "win-win" situation. He likes trails and access to nature but wants to make sure we are not taking away that nature by putting those trails in. QUESTIONS FROM STAFF: What do you believe is the solution? The solution could be perhaps putting trails going through wet areas up on pilings. In a slope situation— there are a lot of different choices. Reduce impervious areas that are causing stormwater run-off- that's very important to areas close to the streams. QUESTIONS OF STAFF Did ODF&W further comment? No. Pagenstecher said he called to follow up on their first comment. He said the comment was global in that when there's a limited resource— generally speaking, the policy is —protect it whenever you can. He said that's consistent with their mission. • PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUIVS—April 6,2009—Page 6 of 9 • • Is there the possibility of the City looking at what sort of surface— what the trail's going to be made out of— before a trail is put in a floodplain?Is there anypossibiliy in this code to go through and have that as part of the criteria? There are opportunities to introduce and apply green [environmentally friendly] trail criterion in the design development of any trail segment that the City may undertake. PUBLIC TESTIMONY CLOSED DELIBERATIONS President Inman said a floodplain is not necessarily a natural resource area so, potentially, we could be requiring wildlife assessments for a parking lot. She believes this is above and beyond other standards that are currently out there, and potentially onerous. She said she leans towards faith in CWS and other regulations as far as protecting resources and buffers — there's a dedicated public who will follow the development of the plan and will give input with regard to paths. That being said, she's not opposed to adding a wildlife assessment. The commissioners deliberated at length. MOTION After deliberations, there was a motion by Commissioner Muldoon, seconded by Commissioner Hasman: "I move we adopt DCA2008-00005 Sensitive Lands Permit Requirement, selecting Option 3.c as amended April 6, 2009." The motion passed on a recorded vote - the Commissioners voted as follows: AYES: Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Caffall, Commissioner Doherty, Commissioner Hasman, Commissioner Inman, and Commissioner Muldoon (5) NAYS: Commissioner Walsh (1) ABSTAINERS: None (0) ABSENT: Commissioners Fishel and Vermilyea (2) PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED President Inman noted this will go to the 5/12/09 Council Business Meeting. 6. URBAN FORESTRY MASTERPLAN City Arborist,Todd Prager, said the slide presentation he was about to present highlights the packet that was distributed to the commissioners earlier. He encouraged them to review the PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 7 of 9 • •_ packet over the coming months to become familiar with the data that's been collected thus far for the Urban Forestry Master Plan. At this point he went over his slide presentation as an update of the Master Plan (Exhibit D). QUESTIONS FOR STAFF Why has the tree canopy decreased? Dick Bewersdorff,Planning Manager, answered, "There'd been more development in those years than we've ever had in Tigard." Prager added, "The fragmentation where the larger groves were being replaced with smaller individual plantings may indicate that the mitigation is helping to restore canopy in these residential zones." There were a few other questions and then the commissioners thanked Prager for a presentation they said was well done. 7. OTHER BUSINESS — Joint Meeting on April 21st—Tuesday—ideas for topics: The commissioners talked about some of the topics they may wish to discuss at that meeting. The consensus was that their main topic would be that of communication between the Council and the Commission; specifically,if Council chooses to over-ride one of their recommendations. They wondered what the plan is to communicate Council's reasoning as to why they disagree. Minutes: Planning Commission Bylaws -Article IV Section 12.E There was a decision to change the way the Commission considers/approves minutes. It was decided that,in light of the heretofore overlooked portion of the bylaws (below),in the future they would approve them differently than in the past. Article IV Section 12.E of the Planning Commission bylaws states: "Commissioners are expected to vote for approval of the minutes based on the accuracy of representation of events at the meeting. If there are no corrections, the President may declare the minutes approved as presented, without the need for a motion and vote. A vote in favor of adopting minutes does not signify agreement or disagreement with the Commission's actions memorialized in the minutes." So, if after asking if there are any corrections and, there being none, the President may declare the minutes "approved as presented"without the need for a motion and vote. • PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES S—April 6,2009—Page 8 of 9 • • 8.

The Commission previously held a workshop on March 2,2009 to discuss the 'proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and Tigard Comprehensive Plan, which originate from•the'Tigard 99W Improvement and-Management Plan.The purpose of this memo is to 1. Address three language changes the Commission requested at the workshop; 2. Address comments received'after the workshop from ODOT and Beaverton; and 3. Provide a summary recommendation and potential'motion for the Commission: Planning Commission Requested change #1 ' Part 3 of the proposed amendment will update the list of recommended action measures (a total of 10•additioris) found in Section 1 of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Transportation Chapter. The proposed aniendriient language was recommended by the Tigard 99W Improvement and' Management Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The requested changes were limited to two of the recommended action measures and are as follows: ' • 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall,in conjunction with other agencies, jurisdictions,.and 'stakeholders, develop.action plans to,implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to ' implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames-shall be associated with the action plans. • Commission reasoning—to clarify what/where Alternative B is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition,staff resources shall be committed used to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. MEMO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 1 OF 4 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS Commission reasoning—throughout the update of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan;the Planning Commission and City Council tried to avoid language that committed City staff or resources to programs or projects as the Comp Plan is policy focused. This requested change was to maintain consistency with the rest of the Comp Plan language. Requested change #2 The Commission requested that any reference to the 5-lanes of Highway 99W as through lanes be removed. Staff has removed the reference throughout the proposed amendments. Most references were associated with the asterisk language in Part 1 of the proposed amendment. Part 4 of the proposed amendment also made reference to through lanes and this has been removed. Commission reasoning—the reference to a 5-lane Highway 99W would include the middle, or turn, lane which is not truly a "through" lane. Removing this language eliminates the possibility for confusion. Requested change #3 The Commission debated whether the addition of the language in proposed amendments 8, 9, 23, and 24 was appropriate. The proposed amendments would add two pedestrian activated signal crossings to the Other Potential Projects list. The Commission was concerned about the impact to traffic flow from adding additional traffic signals to the Highway 99W corridor. The Commission discussed various other solutions that could make the two particular intersections more pedestrian- friendly and asked staff to look into the feasibility of these projects and alternative language that would be more flexible. Staff comment - The recommended pedestrian activated signal crossings were included to improve pedestrian connections at the two most feasible locations along the corridor at this point in time. The Regional Transportation Plan calls for full street connections no more than 530 feet apart to provide accessibility and connectivity for all modes of travel. Figure 1 below is taken from the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan and shows pedestrian crossing locations along Highway 99W.

ODOT staff believes the projects are important pedestrian connections, but recommends changing the proposed amendment language (see below) to provide project flexibility. M Pedestrian • Highway 99W at SW 71st Avenue AG#vateel • - Signalized-Crossing Enhancements* • M Pedestrian Highway 99W at SW Watkins Avenue Activated 'Crossing Enhancements* *Requires approval from State Tiaffic Engineer The Planning Commission may wish to consider using ODOT's recommended language change (also included in Exhibit A) or use a number of other alternatives in lieu of rem oving the project language completely: " • Pedestrian Crossing Amenities • .• Pedestrian-specific Crossing • Pedestrian Crossing Infrastructure • Crosswalk • Pedestrian Crossing Project ' • ODOT Comments (Staff Report Exhibit D) • ODOT pointed out instances where an additional lane may be needed between intersections; • essentially creating a sixth lane for short distances. Such a circumstance would not meet the asterisk language of"auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity" and recommended further clarification to retain flexibility. Staff comment- In a case where an auxiliary lane may need to be continuous between two intersections, to provide flexibility the Commission may wish to consider including the word function to the asterisk language below TSP figures to read: `Highway 99W may include auxilidry lanes for additional intersection c.,.acity�, function,t rn lanes, or dccesr management at key locations, such as major intersections, where traffic flow . • :.: ' would otherwise be constrained. For locations within 600 feet of any signalked intersection or freeway i terchange, staff will determine, based on accepted engineering practices, the cross-section and auxiliary lanes that ll be necessary to serve that intersection." ed5 1G MEMO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 3 OF 4 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS ! • City of Beaverton Comments (Staff Report Exhibit C) Recommended the deleted turn lanes in proposed amendment 21 (Table 8-8 changes) should be maintained in the TSP improvements to assure the 5-lane section would handle future needs of the region. Staff comment - maintaining the flexibility within the TSP to use auxiliary turn lanes at intersections is a benefit to the community and the function of Highway 99W.After review, the Engineering Division agrees with the Beaverton comments. Circumstances have changed, mainly the design of the Hall and Greenburg intersection improvement projects, since the Tigard 99W Plan was completed. Many of the intersection improvements slated to be removed from the TSP list may need to be constructed to ensure the Hall and Greenburg improvements function at their full potential. The Engineering Division identified the projects that were originally recommended for removal, but should remain in the TSP to provide flexibility (see list below). The language in Exhibit A was adjusted accordingly. The projects will again be reevaluated during the complete update of the TSP this year.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History Traffic congestion consistently ranked as the number one issue with Tigard citizens in three community surveys performed during the past three years. Citizens specifically identified congestion on Highway 99W as a major problem, and expressed great concern about its adverse effect on access to the Tigard Downtown area and the region as a whole. This highway carries 50,000 vehicles per day, half of which is regional through traffic. As a result, the highway is overwhelmed by the existing traffic volumes. At peak travel hours, cut-through traffic uses the City of Tigard's street system to avoid the Highway 99W traffic congestion. This often causes safety and livability issues in residential neighborhoods. In recognition of the citizen concerns regarding the heavy traffic congestion on Highway 99W, the Tigard City Council established a goal in 2005 to improve the Highway 99W corridor, and continued that goal into 2006. To develop solutions to the traffic congestion on the highway,the City applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan). Through a planning and public involvement process, conducted with ODOT, TriMet, Metro, Washington County, and other regional partners, the project developed concept- level recommendations for transportation improvements and recommended additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. Development of the Tigard 99W Plan included detailed analysis of transportation needs, opportunities, and comparative evaluation of concept plan alternatives. The primary focus of the Tigard 99W Plan is identifying projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion and improving traffic circulation within the highway corridor from Durham Road to the Interstate 5. It builds on previous studies and was developed through a planning process of four key steps: • Establish inventory of existing conditions • Analyze needs, opportunities and constraints • Develop alternative improvement concepts • Compare and evaluate alternative concepts Three alternatives were evaluated to assess the impact each would have on the transportation deficiencies in the corridor. Alternative A evaluated widening Highway 99W to seven lanes from Greenburg Rd. to Interstate 5 and Alternative C evaluated widening to seven lanes for the entire length through Tigard. Both were rejected for cost, right-of-way impacts, urban design, and quality of life concerns. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) was an access management strategy. Alternative B proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management, intersection improvements, bike, pedestrian, and transit improvements, and other off-highway improvements. The development of the Tigard 99W Plan included both public involvement and interagency coordination. A project specific Tigard citizen advisory committee (CAC) and technical advisory committee (TAC) were appointed to review and comment on the plan as it developed. In STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 2 OF 20 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • addition, three open houses and citizen stakeholder interviews were held. Both the CAC and TAC recommended that Alternative B be the preferred option. The CAC also submitted certain policy-related recommendations pertaining to the future improvement and management of Highway 99W. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation System,Plan (TSP).originate from the recommendations found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan and are intended to implement Alternative B. The CAC,TAC, and ODOT staff all recommended the City implement the suggested modifications found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan include incorporating the CAC policy-related recommendations and rewording Goal 12.2, Policy 6.A to be consistent with the TSP. The Tigard City Council held a work session on the Tigard 99W Plan on November 20, 2007. Council discussed the recommendations and directed staff to prepare the Tigard TSP and Comprehensive Plan amendments necessary to implement the Tigard 99W Plan and bring them before the Tigard Planning • Commission. The Planning Commission held a Study Session on this topic on March 2, 2009. • Proposal Description . The City is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to: 1. Update,the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; . . 2.

Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended 5 lanes for Highway 99W. The proposed text amendments are represented as bold italics for proposed new language and sfie thfaugh for proposed deleted language. Proposed graphic changes are called out and described. • Part 1: Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; The proposed changes are specific strikethrough and figure changes to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and are found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The proposed amendments reflect improvements associated with Alternative B in the Tigard 99W Plan. Many of the changes are in tables or reference illustration changes and are listed below. There are 27 proposed, modifications (each amendment can be found as a separate page in Exhibit A):In summary they are: • Proposed Amendment 1 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan List along.ORE 99W to include a sidewalk project scope and cost. • Proposed Amendment 2 updates the Bicycle Master Plan description of bicycle lanes south of Gaarde/McDonald to Durham Road to note that these facilities are existing, not planned. • Proposed Amendment 3 updates the Bicycle Action Plan Improvement List and Cost. • Proposed Amendment 4, 5, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 26 advises that both the TSP and RTP should be amended to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current designation to widen ORE 99W to 7 lanes. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 3 OF 20 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • • Proposed Amendment 6 and 20 add intersection improvements to Durham Road and SW Canterbury Lane. • Proposed Amendment 7 updates potential pedestrian projects along ORE 99W to increase project scope. • Proposed Amendments 8 and 9 add pedestrian activated signalized crossings. • Proposed Amendment 11 updates a Park and Ride location. • Proposed Amendment 10 updates plan to include existing bike lanes just north of SW Greenburg Road. • Proposed Amendment 12 updates potential transit projects to implement transit queue bypass lanes along ORE 99W at several locations. • Proposed amendments 14, 15 and 16 identify access management measures for highway 99W. • Proposed Amendment 21 updates the table to include specific projects and add project intersections. • Proposed Amendment 22, 23 and 24 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan project list funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 25 updates the Bicycle Action Plan funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 27 updates the City of Tigard Future Intersection Improvements table to include specific projects and add projects at the several intersections. Part 2: Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. The Transportation Planning Rule, OAR 660 Division 12, requires local jurisdictions to prepare and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. The numbering will start as indicated: 24. Prior to implementation of projects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware of pending improvements.

Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99Wproblems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted: • 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City./state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique.A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32.

APPLICABLE METRO REGULATIONS: ' Regional Transportation System Plan • Sets the policies, systems and actions to adequately serve walking, bicycling, driving, use of transit and national and international freight movement in this region consistent with federal and state requirements:'' • Findings: According to the RTP,latent travel demand in the Highway 99W corridor is too great to be reasonably offset solely by capacity projects. While the RTP proposed new capacity on 99W between I-5 and Greenburg Road, anticipated to be seven lanes by 2025,-no specific capacity projects are proposed • south of Greenburg Road. However, due to latent demand, Highway 99W is not expected to meet the region's motor vehicle level of service policies during mid-day and peak demand periods in the future, and an alternative approach to managing and accommodating traffic in the corridor is needed. ' The RTP concluded that more emphasis on demand management, access management,Jocal street connectivity and congestion management is needed to address congestion in the Highway 99W corridor. m The proposed amendments adhere to the recommendations in the RTP for'alternative approache, other than capacity projects, to managing and accommodating traffic in the corridor. However, the proposed amendments will adjust the recommended width of the portion of the corridor between Greenburg Rd and Interstate 5 as five-lanes and an adjustment to the RTP will need to be made during its current update. The City must ensure the RTP reflects the City's plan for Highway 99W.

APPLICABLE STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION GUIDELINES STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 15 OF 20 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • Oregon Transportation Plan The goal is a safe, efficient and sustainable transportation system that enhances Oregon's quality oflife and economic vitality. Findings: The Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP) is the state's long-range multimodal transportation plan for Oregon's airports, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, highways and roadways,pipelines, ports and waterway facilities, public transportation, and railroads. It is a comprehensive, 25-year plan for the transportation system to provide economic efficiency, orderly economic development, safety and environmental quality. Required by Oregon and federal statutes, the OTP guides development and investment in the transportation system. The existing Tigard TSP has been prepared in accordance with the Statewide Planning Goals and other applicable Plans, statutes and regulations. Tigard's TSP has been found to be consistent with the RTP and has been reviewed by ODOT,Metro and DLCD for consistency with Statewide Planning Goal 12 and associated Plans such as the Oregon Transportation Plan. Since Highway 99W is a state-owned facility, the City of Tigard applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant from the State of Oregon to develop solutions to the traffic congestion on Highway 99W. The result was the development of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan). The proposed amendments implement the recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments will encourage alternative transportation modes and enhance the comprehensive transportation plan for the City by making more efficient use of the Hwy 99W infrastructure. The proposed amendments are anticipated to improve traffic flow, reduce traffic congestion, reduce traffic crash rates, and improve options for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with the Oregon Transportation Plan. Oregon Highway Plan Defines policies and investment strategies for Oregon's state highway system for the next 20 years. It further refines the goals and policies of the Oregon Transportation Plan and is part of Oregon's Statewide Transportation Plan. Findings: The Oregon Highway Plan prioritizes major improvements to state-owned highways,including Highway 99W, to improve the efficiency of the system. The highest priority is to preserve the functionality of the existing highway system by means such as access management, local comprehensive plans, transportation demand management,improved traffic operations, and alternative modes of transportation. The second priority is to make minor improvements to existing highway facilities such as widening highway shoulders or adding auxiliary lanes, providing better access for alternative modes (e.g., bike lanes, sidewalks, and bus shelters), extending or connecting local streets, and making other off- system improvements. The third priority is to make major roadway improvements to existing highway facilities such as adding general purpose lanes and making alignment corrections to accommodate legal size vehicles. The lowest priority is to add new transportation facilities such as a new highway or bypass. The existing Tigard TSP has been prepared in accordance with the Statewide Planning Goals and other applicable Plans, statutes and regulations. Tigard's TSP has been found to be consistent with the RTP STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION • CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 16 OF 20 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • and has been reviewed by ODOT, Metro and DLCD•for consistency with Statewide Planning Goal 12 and associated Plans such as the Oregon Highway Plan. The proposed amendments implement the recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments will encourage alternative transportation modes and enhance.the comprehensive transportation plan for the City by making more efficient use of the Hwy 99W infrastructure. Alternative B, the recommended alternative, proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term;including medians, access management,intersection improvements, parallel roadway connections, and other off-highway improvements. This is consistent with the Oregon Highway Plan and the proposed amendments will promote the goals and highest priorities of the Oregon Highway Plan. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with the Oregon Highway Plan. Transportation Planning Rule: OAR 660-12 Intended to implement Statewide Planning Goal 12 by providing guidelines for local governments to demonstrate compliance with Goal 12 through their Transportation System Plans. Findings: The Tigard TSP contains required elements listed'as required inmOAR 660-1.2-0020, OAR 66012-0025, 660-012-0030, 660-012-0035, 660-012-0040, 660-012-0045,;OAR 660-12-0050, and 660- 012-0060 complying with Statewide-Planning Goal 12. The proposed amendments do.not jeopardize this compliance. The proposed amendments refine the existing•TSP projects and enhance its performance. Therefore, the proposed amendments are consistent with OAR 660:12. • Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with the Transportation Planning Rule.

ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF COMMENTS • The City of Tigard's Engineering Division, Current Planning Division, and Long Range Planning Division were involved throughout the process, from Tigard 99W Plan development to the writing of findings. All comments have been incorporated into the Staff Report. Conclusion(s): Based on the input from various City divisions throughout the process, staff fords the proposed amendments do not interfere with the best interests of the City. SECTION VII. OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not respond: City of Durham City of King City City of Lake Oswego City of Portland City of Tualatin Washington County, Department of Land Use and Transportation Metro Land Use and Planning Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1, District 2A Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District Tualatin Valley Water District Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and had the following comments: Clean Water Services: Recommended the inclusion of any and all relevant provisions of the current intergovernmental agreement between the City of Tigard and Clean Water Services, and the relevant provisions of the current Design and Construction Standards (see Exhibit B). Findings: The proposed amendment does not reference issues relating to development, natural resources, vegetated corridors, erosion control, and preservation of wetlands or natural drainage ways. • These issues, and specifically the Design and Construction Standards are not applicable. City of Beaverton: Recommended the deleted turn lanes in proposed amendment 21 (Table 8-8 changes) should be maintained in the TSP improvements to assure the 5-lane section would handle future needs of the region (see Exhibit C). Findings: Maintaining the flexibility within the TSP to use auxiliary turn lanes at intersections is a benefit to the community and the function of Highway 99W. Comments submitted by the City of Beaverton suggest intersection improvements included in Table 8-8 should be maintained and not removed as recommended by the Highway 99W Plan. The Engineering Division agrees with the Beaverton comments. Leaving the projects in the TSP will provide flexibility and the projects can be reevaluated during the complete update of the TSP this year. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 18 OF 20 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1: ODOT supports the proposed amendments. However there may be instances where an additional through lane is needed between intersections, which would not meet the "auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity". ODOT recommends further clarification to retain flexibility. ODOT also recommends proposed amendments 8 and 9 are reworded from "Pedestrian Activated Signalized Crossing" to "Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements"with an asterisk stating "requires approval from State Traffic Engineer" (see Exhibit D). Findings: Circumstances may exist where an auxiliary lane will be continuous between two intersections. City staff agrees with ODOT and have included the word function to cover this scenario. The asterisk language will now read: `Plighway 99W may include auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capaciy, funcfiorin,turn lanes, or access.` management at key locations, such as major intersections, where traffic flow and/or capacity would otherwise be constrained. For locations within 600 feet of any signalized intersection or freeway interchange, staff will determine, based on accepted engineering practices, the cross-section and auxiliary lanes that will be necessary to serve that intersection." Pedestrian connectivity is also an important component of the Tigard 99W Plan. However, signalized crossings are not always feasible for Highway 99W. City staff agrees with ODOT, and the Planning Commission as expressed at its March 2, 2009 workshop, that a signalized crossing may not be the best option as indicated in amendment 8 and 9 (TSP Table 5-2). The language has been re-worded for the Commission's consideration as recommended by ODOT: Pedestrian.74etivated Signal Crossing Enhancements*" *Requires approval from State Traffic Engineer Conclusion(s): Based on responses, or no response, from outside agencies listed above, staff finds the proposed amendment, and the changes made based upon submitted comments, meets all requirements of these agencies and does not interfere with the best interests of the City. SECTION VIII. CONCLUSION Staff concludes that the proposed changes comply with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals, Statewide Transportation Guidelines, 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.

Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. The numbering will start as indicated: 24. Prior to implementation ofprojects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware ofpending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. • 25. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed 1-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible;and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the 1-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99W improvements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 28. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99Wproblems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION EXHIBIT A PAGE 2 OF 31 CPA2008-00011 • • Exhibit A 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique.A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. Ifhght rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 33. Highway 99WAction Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, resources shall be used to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. Part 4:Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 99W Management and Improvement Plan recommends the Tigard TSP is amended to retain four/five lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes. To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2. Staff feels the language change is necessary to provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function,ingress/egress spacing, and access management. This would effectively generate four thru-lanes and up to two temporary/short duration/turn lanes for access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A. Highway 99W should be widened to 6 lanes plus auxiliary lanes through intersections-retain a Slane section throughout the study area, except where necessary to accommodate adjacent development impacts, spot capacity improvements, and intersection improvements. (tool box). -Chia improvement should be constructed in the short term. In the event that widening Highway 99 to six 5 lanes plus auxiliary lanes through intersections is prohibitive due to physical constraints, the Dartmouth STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION EXHIBIT A PAGE 3 OF 31 CPA2008-00011 • • Exhibit A The 27 proposed amendments from Part 1 are found individually beginning on the following page.

Chapter 7 Transit a'�=-a-'' CITY OF TIGARD OREGON This chapter summarizes existing and future transit needs in the City of Tigard. The following sections outline the criteria to be used to evaluate needs, provides a number of strategies for implementing a transit plan and recommends a transit plan for the City of Tigard. The needs, criteria and strategies were identified in working with the City's TSP Task Force. This committee provided input regarding the transportation system in Tigard, specifically exploring transit needs. The methodology used to develop the transit plan combined citizen and staff input. NEEDS There are currently 12 fixed bus routes which provide service within the City of Tigard. These bus routes are summarized in Chapter 3 (Existing Conditions). There are four express routes providing service to Tigard residents (12E, 64X, 92X and 95X). Existing transit headways on bus routes in Tigard range from 10-15 minutes on Routes 12 and 92X to about 30 minutes on Routes 76 and 78 during peak commute periods. Metro's Draft Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) identifies the following routes on its Public Transportation System Map (Figure 7-1)1: • ORE 217 HCT Corridor • Greenburg/Hall/Durham HCT Corridor • ORE 99W (East of ORE 217) HCT Corridor • Hall Boulevard (North of ORE 217) Frequent Bus • Hunziker Street Frequent Bus • ORE 99W (West of ORE 217) Primary Bus • Scholls Ferry Road (East of Murray) Primary Bus • 121st/Walnut Street Primary Bus • 68th Parkway/Hampton Street Primary Bus • 72nd Avenue (South of Hampton) Primary Bus Based upon these designations, the City of Tigard designates all bus stops on HCT Corridors and Frequent Bus routes as Major Transit Stops. In addition, all park and ride sites and transit stations are designated major transit stops (Downtown Tigard, Washington Square, park and ride at ORE 99W/7` °%e74th Avenue). While Tri-Met bus ridership in Tigard increased by 35% from 1990 to 1994 and another 15% from 1994 to 1999 (comparing 12 routes), transit ridership represents 6 percent of Tigard PM peak hour trip making. 1 Public Transportation System Map, Metro,Version 4.0, December 1, 1997.

ORE 99W fails in the future without improvement. Of all the regional transportation issues in Tigard, ORE 99W is probably the closest to a"rubik'.s cube". Tigard depends heavily on ORE 99W as its primary arterial. There are no parallel reutes'td ORE 99W and its diagonal alignment and the physical features of Tigard make using ORE 99W essential for also any trip in Tigard. ORE 99W's statewide status and,linkage to Yamhill'County and the Oregon Coast ' have'similar issues=the-only route servicing riortheast=southwest travel. The future demand for this,corridor is well beyond its five lane capacity without system-wide improvements. Ten various alternatives to improving ORE 99W were investigated, ranging from the no improvement to radical capacity improvements. Table 8-5 summarizes the wide range of alternatives. Unfortunately, no one improvement results in desirable (better than level of service F) operation. The most significant finding was that no matter whether ORE 99W was widened southwest of Greenburg Road, the end result was failure. Added capacity on ORE 99W (tested by modeling seven lanes) resulted in significantly higher turning movements on/off ORE 99W and large through movements on ORE 99W. The end result was that not only would you have to widen to seven lanes but at nearly every intersection additional turning lanes were needed (double lefts, right turn) creating nearly a 10 lane cross section at intersection. And even after that the end result was level of service F conditions. Therefore the recommended approach combines several elements to produce a minimally acceptable operating condition. The TSP recommends: 1) widening ORE 99W to seven lanes between 15 and Crccnburg Road;2) retaining the five lane cross section on roadway southwest of Crccnburg Road;3) extensive intersection improvements — auxiliary turning and/or through lanes at key intersections on Highway 99W,-2) aggressive access management, including the development of an access management plan for the corridor; 3)improvements to ORE 217 and 1-5 noted above;64)off-system improvements such as freeway improvements and arterials such as Walnut extension;and 75) consideration of a western/Yamhill County commuter rail corridor."

The basic package of street improvements needed to mitigate level of service F conditions in this area include: • ORE 99W-seven lanes access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. • Dartmouth Street five lanes • 72nd Avenue five lanes • Atlanta Street extended from Haines Street to 72nd Avenue • Backage roads to ORE 99W (providing access to business but not directly on ORE 99W) STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION EXHIBIT A PAGE 18 OF 31 CPA2008-00011 • Exhibit A Proposed Amendment 16: TSP Chapter 8:•Motor Vehicles Committee Recommendation: Page 8-38: Table, third item: Update text to 'Level of service F conditions result in Tigard Triangle without 7 lanes.

There were no subarea alternatives that precluded the need for 7 lanes between 15 and 217." . Other options considered in this sub area' included a Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing of ORE 217, an extension of Atlanta Street to Dartmouth Street and five lanes on ORE 99W. The following summarizes the findings of these options: Dartmouth Attracts less than 5,000 vehicles per day by itself; extend Walnut to link to Hunziker 'up with the overcros'sing ORE 217 and the volume'increase to 8,000 • ORE 217 Per day. f .Implement complete ramp metering in the Tigard Triangle Overcrossi . area (on ORE .217 . and 1-5) . and the volume .increases to 13,000 ng -vehicles per'day..--+Most.of.the traffic benefits of the .overcrossing are produced with the''Hu`nziker. .to Hampton overcrossing and the Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing has limited additional benefit. • Unfortunately, ORE 99W still requires mitigation with or without .overcrossing; access to ORE 217 would not be allowed by ODOT due to substandard spacing•resulting in unsafe operation at large expense. One ;option where this overcrossing may be desirable in the future would be:where ramp metering is fully operational and improvements to ORE., 2'17 include, a ,High Occupancy Toll (HOT) ,or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane alternative where direct connections to ORE 99W • are=desired. The Dartmouth. to Hunziker overcrossing could provide access to the Tigard Triangle and ORE 99W area via drop in ramps. Therefore, a' potential�'alignment should be preserved for future consideration (where. the alignment.would go through parking lots). However, the ov_ ercrossing is not part of the street improvement plan in . .: the TSP.. ' Atlanta.

Although the proposed amendments emphasize that Highway 99W should only have a maximum of 4 or 5 lane for thru traffic except at the intersections where additional intersection capacity, and turn lanes are needed to maintain traffic flow. It appears that many of the turn lanes under proposed amendment 21 to the TSP Motor Vehicles chapter were deleted. Chapter 14 of the City of Tigard current TSP confirms that even if Highway 99W is widened to 7 lanes it will operate at level of service F in the future.Therefore we believe that the proposed turn lanes in the existing TSP improvements should be maintained to assure that the 5 lane section would handle future needs of the region.

By incorporating the plan recommendations for Alternative B the City and State will be better positioned to work together to obtain funding for the list of identified improvement projects that will improve the highway corridor for all travel modes. Development and adoption of the recommendations in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan is commendable. The plan seeks to balance the needs of all users of the system, adjoining property owners with limited funding for transportation. Instead of focusing primarily on adding system capacity, the plan recommendations focus on increasing safety through access management, strategic intersection improvements to address turning movements, providing transit queue bypass lanes to provide for more efficient transit, enhancing pedestrian/bicycle facilities and managing the system through signal timing coordination. The plan calls for retaining the four/five lanes on 99W instead of widening 99W to seven lanes as currently identified in the City's Transportation System Plan and the Regional Transportation Plan. Staff recommends in Part 4 that the five lanes be defined as "through lanes" which is necessary to "provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committee recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function, ingress/egress spacing, and access management." ODOT supports the staff recommendation for retaining the four/five lanes on 99W while allowing flexibility. However, there may be instances where an additional through lane is needed to connect between two intersections which would not meet the "auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity" language. Based on the proposed wording, the flexibility to adding additional lanes could be interpreted to be limited to intersections. Recommend further clarification to retain flexibility. ; CPA2008-00011, Tigard 99W TSP Incorporation; ODOT RESPONSE 2 In Appendix A page 4, the plan discusses pedestrian enhancements and identifies potential new crossing locations in Figure 1. As discussed in the plan, the speeds, traffic volumes and crossing widths on 99W makes identifying safe crossing treatments for pedestrians limited. The ability to meet pedestrian signalization warrants as crossing treatments is difficult on this stretch of 99W. The plan indicates that an engineering study will be required for proposed unsignalized crossings. The proposed amendments for Table 5-2 Potential Pedestrian Projects, recommends projects to add pedestrian activated signalized crossing at SW 71st Ave and SW Watkins Ave on 99W. ODOT recommends that the plan allow for flexibility to do an engineering study to determine what the most appropriate pedestrian crossing enhancements are for each of these locations. If the access management plan identifies medians to be installed at these locations, this might be an opportunity to explore how to best accommodate pedestrian crossing at the each crossing location. Median islands could provide a refuge for pedestrians but would preclude the signalized pedestrian crossing option. Instead of specifying the crossing projects as "Pedestrian Activated Signalized Crossing", we recommend the projects be identified as "Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements" with asterisk stating "requires approval from the State Traffic Engineer". ODOT looks forward to continuing to work collaboratively with the City of Tigard to implement the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan.

' City of Tigard *iti RD3 ' Memorandum To Planning Commission ; ' - From: Gary Pagenstecher,Associate Planner Re: Continued Hearing for DCA 2008-00005 Sensitive Lands Permit Requirements Date: March 30, 2009 Background On February 23, 2009,the Planning Commission held a public hearing'to consider Staff's request (DCA2008-00005) to amend the Sensitive Lands Chapter of the Tigard Development Code to remove a criterion (18.775.070.B.5) prohibiting pathways located within or adjacent to the floodplain to be below the elevation of the average annual flood. The Commission received substantial public comment on the'issue and`decided to continue the hearing to allow time for careful consideration of the information provided and allow staff time to prepare an options analysis. In addition to a sutrimary of public comments and the options analysis, below, staff has included a section to help clarify terms. Terms : Average Annual Flood Elevation: The flood elevation used in 18.775.070.B.5; the average of annual peak daily flows over the length of available data; an elevation between;"bank full" and the "2-year flood"; typically used for structural protection and maintenance purposes. . 2 year Flood Elevation: A conservative proxy for the annual flood elevation. Base Flood Elevation: The computed elevation to which floodwater is anticipated to rise during the base flood (100-year flood, 1% flood, one-percent annual chance flood, FEMA floodplain extent). Adopted Pedestrian/Bicycle Pathway Plan: The City of Tigard Parks System Master Plan (March 1999), includes general alignments for Tigard's trail system; as funding becomes available, specific trail segment plans are developed to provide siting and design details. Practicable: Capable of being effected, done, or put into practice; feasible. 1 • • Summary of Public Comments Jennifer Thompson, US Fish and Wildlife (USFW): cites Metro's environmentally—friendly trails guidebook to address potential adverse impacts of trails in sensitive areas and lists potential impacts from hydrology to habitat. Nancy Munn, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS): states that NMFS generally does not support trails in floodplains (with the exception of dirt trails) because often trail design and vegetation management proximate to water conflicts with conditions that support cold-water fisheries. Eric Lindstrom, EdD: takes issue with conclusions in the staff report by elaborating on findings, potential impacts to resources; concludes that pathways are desirable components of park plans but should not compromise the functional integrity of the floodplain (Owyhee River road example). Sue Beilke, Fans of Fanno Creek: argues against removal of the elevation criterion in order to protect significant habitat and that other potentially conflicting City goals are met with the existing trail network in Fanno Creek and by other upland trails planned by the City. Brian Wegener, Tualatin River Keepers: cites comments from USFWS/Metro/NMFS (above) regarding potential impacts to natural resources; identifies potential conflict of the proposed trails with sensitive habitat areas map designation of"strictly limit"in the majority of Fanno Creek Park; addresses shortcomings with the findings in the staff report and suggests an alternatives analysis include siting trails above the average annual flood. John Frewing: identifies process issues with the City as applicant; suggests processing a variance rather than a code amendment; calls out ODOT, DSL, CWS, and Metro provisions for safety and resource protection. Mischa Connine, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW): concerned with overall decline of riparian habitat and connectivity and therefore the potential adverse impacts of paths located in riparian and associated floodplain habitats. Bob Salinger/Jim Labbe, Audubon: concerned with the incremental loss and degradation of floodplain habitats and water quality in the Tualatin Basin; supports low-impact path design including alternative alignments outside of floodplains;worried natural areas along Fanno Creek will be loved to death. Code Construction and Analysis Section 18.775.070.B (Sensitive Lands Permits Within the 100-year Floodplain) includes seven approval criteria for development within the 100-year floodplain subject to Hearings Officer review. The criteria are designed to ensure maintenance of the floodway (1 and 3), restrict uses in certain zones (2), ensure agency permitting (6), and provide for a pedestrian/bicycle pathway (4, 5, and 7). 2 • • Of the three pathway criteria, criterion 4 ensures development plans include a timely pathway improvement in accordance with the adopted pedestrian/bicycle pathway plan; criterion 5 restricts the elevation of a pathway to be higher than the average annual flood; and criterion'7 assures dedication of open land area of a suitable elevation for the construction of a pathway within the floodplain in accordance with the adopted pedestrian/bicycle plan. • The potential conflict with Criterion 5-arises for several reasons: a)*the adopted pedestrian/bicycle plan is often'too'generalized to'provide*guidance in siting pathways, and b) to achieve the elevation requirement within the floodplain for planned pathways could require filling, boardwalks,or re- siting outside the floodplain or in portions of the floodplain that exceed the average annual flood. Pathways crossing a creek are particularly problematic. TO make sense of this potential conflict, a reasonable'reading of criterion`5 would be to apply it "where practicable." This involves striking a balance between recreation use and program purpose, on the one hand, and resource protection, on the other. The following options range from retaining.criterion 5 as is (Option 1), to removing it altogether (Option 4), including two options with amended language to allow paths within the floodplain where practicable and when consistent with adopted plans (Option 2) and then,additionally, subject to a natural resource assessment (Option 3). Options Analysis • Option 1— retain criterion: , , The plans for the pedestrian/bicycle pathway indicate that no pathway will be below the elevation of an average annual flood; Pros: Retaining the existing language would be the most restrictive and would limit pathway alignment to upland areas. Strict application of the standard would preclude path alignments in the floodplain and related habitat.areas preserving the quality of the habitat to its maximum extent. - Cons: Potentially inconsistent with other standards in the section (4 and 7) which require any proposed development within or adjacent to the floodplain to provide a pathway in accordance with the adopted pedestrian/bicycle plan. Option 1 would limit the City's ability to meet its Comprehensive Plan goals for trail connectivity and access to nature= oriented recreation in Fanno Creek Park and other locations. Option 1 does not provi de any siting flexibility with respect to the presence, absence, or quality of habitat at any location. • 3 • • Option 2— revise criterion: The plans for the pedestrian/bicycle pathway indicate that no pathway will be below the elevation of an average annual flood, where practicable to achieve project objectives; Pros: Addition of the practicability clause would allow siting flexibility for certain path alignments below the average annual flood when upland routes are not otherwise available considering cost and design feasibility and project objectives. Trail connectivity and access to natural areas for nature-oriented recreation would be possible. Option 2 would be consistent with other standards in the section (4 and 7). Cons: Although some flexibility is obtained for locating trails, the standard may preclude preferred alignments to meet other objectives. Option 2 does not directly address habitat protection which is the primary concern of the public comment. Option 3 — revise criterion: Pedestrian/bicycle pathways within the floodplain shall be sited above the elevation of the annual average flood, where practicable, and shall include a resource assessment to ensure that the proposed alignment minimizes impacts to significant wildlife habitat; Pros: The practicability clause allows the City to balance park development with resource protection. Trails could be located within the floodplain consistent with the adopted pedestrian/bicycle plan. The requirement for a natural resource assessment implements Comprehensive Plan policies which support habitat protection (Comprehensive Plan Goal 8.1, policy 17 and Goal 8.2, policy 2). Cons: Additional cost to the applicant for a natural resource assessment. Option 4— remove criterion: - Pros: Trails could be located within the floodplain below the average annual flood elevation consistent with an adopted pedestrian/bicycle plan. Cons: Does not address resource protection policies referenced in the Comprehensive Plan or concerns expressed by the public. Discussion Potential conflicting goals in the Comprehensive Plan and criterion in the Development Code for floodplain management hinge around the notion of striking a balance between natural resource protection and recreational use. The public comment received clearly favors siting and designing pathways that avoid impacts to wildlife habitat and water quality. Two of the proposed options presented above include language that would accommodate balancing competing public goods (recreation/natural resources) on a site-specific basis, while still retaining the basic orientation of the 4 • • criterion to avoid siting below the annual average flood. Option 2 suggests a threshold of practicability which would address path location in relation to cost and design feasibility and program goals. Option 3 requires, in addition, a resource assessment to ensure path location minimizes potential adverse impacts to wildlife habitat. The proposed code amendment is legislative and would apply to all floodplains within the City. Some public comments suggested that a variance process could be used as an alternative to a code amendment, particularly since the proposed amendment arose with respect to the site-specific improvements proposed with the Fanno Creek Park Master Plan. In reviewing this approach, staff finds that two of the variance standards (18.370.010.C.2.d/e) would not likely be met: (d) siting paths below the average annual flood would most likely adversely affect wildlife habitat to some extent and, (e) the hardship would be self-imposed because not building below the average annual flood would remain an option. Recommendation Staff recommends the Commission support Option 3 to.minimize potential adverse impacts to natural resources of planned park pathway improvements within the floodplain. The proposed criterion revision would allow flexibility to balance resource protection goals with community recreation goals as pathways are developed in the future, pursuant to the Park System Master Plan. 5 City of Tigard ilk- ., ' Memorandum T`I GA RD` To: Planning Commission From: Todd Prager,Associate Planner/Arborist Current Planning Division Re: Urban Forestry Master Plan Progress Report Date: March 17,2009 INTRODUCTION On June 3,2008,Tigard City Council approved Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2008-00002 adding an Urban Forest section to the Land Use chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. Goal 2.2 Policy 11 of the Comprehensive Plan states, "The City shall develop and implement a citywide Urban Forestry Management Master Plan." On October 28,2008,Tigard City Council approved Resolution 08-64 appointing members to the Urban Forestry Master Plan Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). The CAC is comprised of the Tree Board plus four additional stakeholders including two certified arborists, one Home Builder's Association (HBA) representative, and one community member with expertise in public administration. The CAC represents a broad range of interests and is currently overseeing the Plan's development. On November 19,2008, the Committee for Citizen Involvement approved the Communication Plan for the Urban Forestry Master Plan. The Communication Plan breaks down each of the six phases of the process and speaks to the ways in which citizens and stakeholders may participate, communicate,and receive information about the Urban Forestry Master Plan. Staff and the CAC have completed the first half of the Urban Forestry Master Plan, and are updating Planning Commission and Council prior to embarking on the second half of the process. The Urban Forestry Master Plan will be drafted by staff over the next several months using the information collected thus far and input from the CAC during the three remaining meetings. The Urban Forestry Master Plan will be presented for adoption to Planning Commission and Council in October and November respectively. A website has been developed and is available to the community for more information and to track progress and activities of the Urban Forestry Master Plan at: www.tigard-or.gov/community/trees/master plan.asp Page 1 of 8 • • BACKGROUND The following excerpt from the International Society of Arboriculture website (Attachement 1) provides an excellent overview of the purpose and importance of an Urban Forestry Master Plan: 'Many community tree ordinances have been developed in response to public outcry over specific perceived problems. Unfortunately, a "band-aid"approach to developing tree ordinances often leads to ordinances that are not consistent with sound management practices, and which can actually thwart good management. We believe that communities need to develop or review their overall urban forest management strategy before considering a new or revised tree ordinance. Policy makers must recognize that the primary goal is effective management of local tree resources, not simply regulation. Tree ordinances provide the legal framework for successful urban forest management by enabling and authorizing management activities. However, methods for managing the urban forest ecosystem are continually evolving, and the input of trained professionals to the management process is critical. Therefore, we believe that ordinances should facilitate rather than prescribe management. Successful tree ordinances follow this guiding principle. If the role of a free ordinance is to facilitate resource management, the tree ordinance must be part of a larger community forest management strategy. Most of the shortcomings attributed to tree ordinances can usually be traced to the lack of a clearly thought-out management strategy. Poor planning leads to poor ordinances, and even the best-written ordinance is unlikely to succeed in the absence of an overall urban forest management strategy. We have found that few existing tree ordinances have been developed as part of a comprehensive management strategy." (http://www.isa-arbor.com/publications/tree-ord/ordprtl b.aspx) In developing Tigard's Urban Forestry Master Plan, staff and the CAC have been following Miller's (1988) model of urban forest planning. F 4. What do we have? e e d 2. What do we want? b a c k 3. How do we get what we want? The remainder of this document describes how the above questions have been and will be answered, and what feedback processes will occur to ensure the Urban Forestry Master Plan is successfully implemented. Page 2 of 8 • • WHAT DO WE HAVE? The question of"What do we have?"is being answered by: • Analysis of tree canopy changes over time. • Historical and current community profile. • Review of federal, state,and local policy framework. • Review of City department/divisions with urban forest management roles. Metro completed the classification of 1996 and 2007 Tigard air photos using software that can detect the presence of tree canopy cover. This has allowed City staff to do a comparative analysis of tree cover change in the community spanning the past ten years (Attachment 2). It will also allow Tigard to continually track canopy change in the future as Metro runs the software on Tigard air photos every two years. Some highlights of the canopy data collected to date include: • 25% (1996) vs. 24% (2007) Citywide Canopy. • 63 canopy clusters > 5 acres (1996) vs. 48 canopy clusters > 5 acres (2007). • 4,356 canopy clusters < .5 acres (1996) vs. 7,231 canopy clusters < .5 acres (2007). • 1,423 acres of buildable lands (1996) vs. 529 acres of buildable lands (2007). • Canopy coverage on remaining buildable lands is 42%. • If all canopy was removed from remaining buildable lands, citywide tree canopy would decline from 24% to 21%. • City of Tigard Land Area is 7,556 acres. • 5,448 acres are private and 2,108 acres are public. • City of Tigard property (388 acres) has 46%canopy. • Public Right-of-Way (1,288 acres) has 9% canopy. • Other Public Entities (432 acres) have 24% canopy. • Private Property (5,447) has 27%canopy. • Commercial Zone Canopy is 10% (2007). • Industrial Zone Canopy is 16% (2007). • Mixed Use Zone Canopy is 14% (2007). • Residential Zone Canopy is 30% (2007). Preliminary findings from the canopy study include: • Tigard canopy coverage (24%) is below the target recommendation of 40% for Pacific Northwest cities. • • While Tigard canopy coverage is currently stabilized (1%decrease in 10 years),it is becoming increasingly fragmented (larger groves are replaced by individual trees). • The remaining amount of buildable lands is relatively small (529 acres), so focusing management activities solely on development code revisions will have a limited impact. • Right-of-way canopy is relatively low (9%). This is an opportunity area where canopy could be increased (e.g. Lake Oswego right-of-way canopy is 34%). Page 3 of 8 • • • Citywide residential canopy(30%) is much higher than commercial,industrial, and mixed use canopy (avg. 13.6%). Improving parking lot landscape standards may allow for a significant canopy increase in non-residential zones. Ongoing studies that will be completed over the upcoming months include: • An analysis of potential plantable areas in Tigard so that realistic canopy goals can be set and planting sites can be identified. • An estimation of historical canopy coverage in Tigard (pre 1996) so that a comparison can be made between current and historical tree canopy. • An estimation of current parking lot canopy coverage so that the effectiveness of current parking lot standards can be evaluated and parking lot canopy changes can be tracked over time. • Documentation of historical and current community profile. • Documentation of federal, state, and local policy framework. • Description of City department/divisions with urban forest management roles. WHAT DO WE WANT? The question of"What do we want?"is being answered by: • Review of Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. • Community surveys. • Needs assessments with City`departments/divisions. • Interviews of major community stakeholder groups. • Listening posts for community members to express their opinions directly to City staff. An independent, scientific telephone survey of 400 randomly selected citizens about their attitudes towards existing and potential urban forestry policies and programs was completed by Steve Johnson and Associates (Attachment 3). The survey was funded in part by a grant from the Oregon Department of Forestry and USDA Forest Service. Some highlights of the community survey are: • Residents are satisfied with the amount and quality of trees/forests in Tigard (-86% satisfaction). However, —74%agreed that more street trees would be good for the City. • Residents feel strongly that trees contribute to quality of life (-96%agree) and residential property values (-92% agree). • Residents want the City to direct more resources to maintain/protect trees and forests in Tigard (^'74%agree),and a majority support increasing funding for tree and forest management (-55% support). • Residents support tree preservation and replacement during development (-88% support). In addition a majority (-56%) support development regulations even when they limit the size and extent of potential buildings or profits. Approximately 32% of residents oppose tree regulations that limit development. • Residents consistently prioritize planting,protection,and maintenance of natural forested areas over other resources such as street trees and ornamental landscape trees. Page 4 of 8 • • • Approximately 55% of residents would like to see new protection measures focused on larger groves of native trees as opposed to individual trees of significant size. • Residents are supportive of tree regulations for developed private property that would protect large,healthy trees (~75% support). • A majority of residents support the creation of a program where the City would become involved in disputes between neighbors regarding hazardous trees (-59%support). Preliminary findings from the community survey include: • The community values the urban forest and is satisfied with its quality. • Residents want more funding directed to protecting and maintaining the urban forest. • Residents support development regulations that protect trees even if the result is reduced • development. • Residents prioritize grove protection and maintenance. • Residents support the creation of a hazard tree abatement program. A series of meetings were held with representatives from a range of City departments (Community Development, Public Works,and Financial and Information Services) and divisions (Capital Construction&Transportation, Current Planning,Development Review,Information Technology, Public Works Administration,Parks, Streets,Wastewater/Storm, and Water) to discuss urban forestry coordination issues, and identify those areas where coordination could be improved (Attachment 4). The following City needs were identified during the meetings: • Better tracking of street trees and protected private property trees needed via GIS database. • Better tracking and enforcement of required stream corridor enhancements needed. • Prior to City property acquisition,need more detailed evaluation of resource management requirements. • Need to clarify tree protection standards for building additions. • Need to create tree protection standards for City projects. • Need to formalize hazard tree response system. • Need to publicize requirements for trees in sensitive lands. • Need better tracking of tree mitigation fund expenditures. In addition to needs assessment of the City, staff is in the process of coordinating with key community stakeholder groups and jurisdictions that regularly contribute to and/or are affected by the management of Tigard's urban forest(Attachment 5). The stakeholder groups identified the following policies and programs that they think should be revised or created in the future: Pacific Northwest Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture • Do not penalize property owners with trees more than those without trees during development. • Do not continue to incentivize overplanting of trees via mitigation standards. • Prioritize natives and large stature trees. Page 5 of 8 • • • Make project arborists a more integral member of the development team. • Increase planting strip size and/or require root barriers. • Hire greenspace manager. Oregon Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects • More focus on preservation,less focus on mitigation. • More focus on sustainable landscape standards (not necessarily natives). • Create detailed tree and landscape design manual with planting and preservation standards. • Require warranty period to ensure landscape establishment. • Require landscape architects to be a member of the development project team. Tualatin Riverkeepers • Improve parking lot design standards to incorporate stormwater treatment and more tree canopy. • Increase stormwater incentives/requirements for development such as the "no runoff" provisions. • Establish a sustainable funding source for urban forestry. • Increase efforts to remove invasives. Tigard-Tualatin School District • Partner to plant trees on school grounds. • Focus on low maintenance and sustainable plantings. Portland General Electric • Tree plans should be routed to PGE for comment to avoid tree/utility conflicts on new developments. • PGE can partner with the City to abate existing and potential tree/utility hazards. Tigard Area Chamber of Commerce • No comment. Trees and urban forestry has not been an issue for the Chamber members. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board • No comment. The remaining stakeholders to be interviewed are the Home Builder's Association, Clean Water Services, Oregon Department of Transportation, and the Tree Board. Page 6 of 8 a • The needs identified by citizens, the City,and community stakeholders will help guide future policy and program goals. The goals set will need to be measurable so that the City can evaluate whether or not goals are being met in the future. For example, a goal of"No net loss of tree canopy between 2007 and 2015"is preferable to a goal of"Maximize tree canopy". Finally,it will be important to ensure that the goals in the Urban Forestry Master Plan are coordinated with the goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan. HOW DO WE GET WHAT WE WANT? After goals are identified, the question of"How do we get what we want?"will be answered through the creation of an implementation matrix. The implementation matrix will be the most important part of the Urban Forestry Master Plan because it will prioritize urban forestry program,policy, and code direction by setting a timetable for implementation. It will also allow for the Tree Board to monitor progress of the Urban Forestry Master Plan as part of their annual work program.

FEEDBACK(ARE YOU GETTING WHAT YOU WANT?) The implementation matrix will allow for the Tree Board to monitor progress of the Urban Forestry Master Plan as part of their annual work program. During the Tree Board's annual joint meetings with Council,progress on the Urban Forestry Master Plan can be communicated. In addition, canopy mapping will be occurring every two years by Metro so that the impact of City programs and policies on Tigard tree canopy can be continually tracked. Finally, the Urban Forestry Master Plan will be updated every five to seven years so that citizen,City,and community stakeholder needs can be reassessed and City programs and policies can be readjusted accordingly.

He said if any questions were to come up between now and .April 200,,that the commissioners would please forward them to staff and they would then be forwarded on to Council and the Budget Committee. He stated if they wished to collectively deliberate the CI P a body and consider it more before :April 2(37h, staff would be glad to schedule that in. Collins stated that she was present: to ask for Planning•Commission input to the Budget Committee regarding this 5-year Plan. She noted the funding is S(31.9 million with S23.3 funded in 09-10- She said that. it is broken up into different system : the Street system, Park system, Facilities., Downtown, Storms, and Sanitary Sewer.

She said that so far as the Facilities Sr•ttcm gucs — the Facilities \l.as ter Plan is completed. The two primary projects are the new Police facility (abry,ir 512 million tonal), and the new Public Works facility (about S 14 million). SOME QUESTIONS & COMMENTS BY COMMISSIONERS What impact will the[government] "Stimulus Package"have? Ron Bunch, Community Development Director answered: As we understand, the stimulus monies will be cc liming essentially in three successive waves. The first is transportation t iundislg that will eomic to the state. The Metro portion of that k 530 million or so. Of that. Tigard is in line to get about 1.2 million dollars. Those monies are designated for street reconstruction or pavement management projects. Three of the projects are Bonita, 72:41 and Durham Road. See(md and third rounds of stimulus will include projects that aren't ilui:e on the line as of yet but include things such as parks, further transportation proiects, water, sewer, storm cirains - the kinds of thine that may take a little longer to prepare. The third round, which is anticipated to come several months from now, will also include those projects that aren't really "shovel ready ' and need more time to be prepared. Git,r, Duena , City Engineer, spoke a bit further about the money coming through. He said what they did to get the projects out into a category in which not much red tape is involved is to do 2" overlays. He said they have to pick streets in pretty good condition. Durham from Hall Blvd to Upper 1.3concs is one big candidate - %2`:t' Ave and Bonita Road. He spoke a bit further about the process of receiving; the stimulus funds. What is the process for prioritizing City projects in general? For street projects - what we prima.rib' do is look at what Council goals are and what the Council mandate is. Right now it's. 13ur_nham Sr. and Ash St, so that is the primate•goal fir now. Community Development, as a whole, will prioritize based can what Council goals are. What's being done about jaywalking near Tigard High School? Based on how tong it takes to get the materials manufactured & delivered, we're looking to get a crc;,s\vilk in place by May of this year. "!'here were some other cluesdc?ns regarding parks, streams, bridges, and trail repair. PLANNING CONIMISSION MEETING MINUTES—March 2.2009—Page 2 of 5 • • 6.

The proposed amendments would incorporate recominendat'ions found in the Tigard 99\\ Plan and those made by the project's C uz n Advisory Coniiaii;tee (C.iC). The proposed amendments are divided into four components 1.

Amend the 'Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy C,.:1 (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended 5 through lines for Highway 99W. (Staff recommended for consistency with TSP amendments.) Wyss spent a Few minutes reviewing the formulation of the Tigard 'YA' ' Plan and gave sonic background as to how the proposed amendments were developed. He said the development of the Tigard 99\'K Plan was funded by a Transportation Group Management (I:G.\Cj grant to evaluate the potential solutions to traffic congestion On 99Wt' through 'Tigard, The intention of the project was to develop concept-level recommendation;: for transportation improvements and additional interventions to meet futalrc needs in the Tigard 99W corridor. The development of the plan involved the traditional process of: a) Inventorying of existing ct7nditions; b) -1nal..'zing needs, opportunities. and constraints; cc Developing alternative improvement concepts; and d) Comparing and evaluating alternative concepts. The primary focus of these alternatives was to identify projects aimed at alleviating congestion and also improving circulation along Hwy 99W through Tigard. The phoning process ended up evaluating three alternatives: .i. Partial widening of Hwy 99W through Tigard; 13. Access management strategics in Tigard; and C. Widening of Hwy 99W to 7 lanes through 'Tigard.

I'm skeptical. • Were the recommendations and changes made in this document based on Alternative B - the different language? Yes, it.was. • To what extent has anyone considered tolling IWwy 99 where it enters and exits Tigard on either end?' That's one way to fund it and keep the traffic down. P don't. think that's going to liv. • Has it [a toll]been considered? Talked about? Vetted It seems to me that given the very difficult issues we're facing and the fact that. Tigard is more greatly impacted by 99W than any other community, that no discussion about what we're going to do with that road ought to go forward without having at least some kind of conversation about what the fiscal impacts[of a toll]are, PLANNING COEMMiSSION MEETING MINUTES- March 2.2009-Page 4 of 5 • • and what the impacts are, on the volume of traffic. So there's my speech on the tolling issue. • I think . .ghat were supposed to be doing tonight is do we have any questions or input on what's been added to the Comp Plan for transportation based on Alternative B.

The proposed comprehensive plan amendment will incorporate recommendations from the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan)into the Tigard Transportation System Plan and the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendments can be found in Attachment 1. The Tigard 99W Plan was developed to evaluate potential solutions to traffic congestion on Highway 99W through Tigard. The recommended solutions were based on both public involvement and interagency coordination and the preferred alternative was an access management strategy as opposed to widening the highway. The amendments included in CPA2008-00011 are the first step in the implementation of the Tigard 99W Plan. This workshop affords the Commission the opportunity to ask questions of staff, get clarification on the development of the Tigard 99W Plan, and request any additional information that will be needed to help the Commission make a decision at the public hearing scheduled for April 6, 2009. As always, staff is available to answer any questions that might arise before the workshop and we encourage Commissioners to contact us by either phone or email. Staff will send out a timely response to any requests/questions so that the Commission has the information available during the meeting discussion. This will help to facilitate a productive discussion and eliminate staff consuming the Commission's limited, but valuable time.

Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 1 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • • BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History Traffic congestion consistently ranked as the number one issue with Tigard citizens in three community surveys performed during the past three years. Citizens specifically identified congestion on Highway 99W as a major problem, and expressed great concern about its adverse effect on access to the Tigard Downtown area and the region as a whole. This highway carries 50,000 vehicles per day, half of which is regional through traffic, and is currently overwhelmed by the existing traffic volumes.At peak travel hours, cut-through traffic uses the City of Tigard's street system to avoid the Highway 99W traffic congestion. This often causes safety and livability issues in residential neighborhoods. In recognition of the citizen concerns regarding the heavy traffic congestion on Highway 99W, the Tigard City Council established a goal in 2005 to improve the Highway 99W corridor, and continued that goal into 2006. To develop solutions to the traffic congestion on the highway, the City applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan). Through a planning and public involvement process the project developed concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and recommended additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. Development of the Tigard 99W Plan included detailed analysis of needs, opportunities,market analysis of redevelopment potential in the corridor, and comparative evaluation of concept plan alternatives. The primary focus of the Tigard 99W Plan is identifying projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion and improving traffic circulation within the highway corridor from Durham Road to the I-5 interchange. It builds on previous studies and was developed through a planning process of four key steps: • Establish inventory of existing conditions • Analyze needs, opportunities and constraints • Develop alternative improvement concepts • Compare and evaluate alternative concepts Three alternatives were evaluated to assess the impact each would have on the transportation deficiencies in the corridor. Alternative A evaluated partial widening of 99W through Tigard to seven lanes and Alternative C evaluated widening to seven lanes for the entire length. Both were rejected for cost, right-of-way impacts, and quality of life concerns. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) was an access management strategy.Alternative B proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management,intersection improvements, parallel roadway connections, and other off-highway improvements. The development of the Tigard 99W Plan included both public involvement and interagency coordination.A project citizen advisory committee (CAC) and technical advisory committee (TAC) were appointed to review and comment on the plan as it developed. In addition, three open houses and citizen stakeholder interviews were held. Both the CAC and TAC recommended that Alternative B be the preferred option. The CAC also submitted certain policy- related recommendations,with the help of ODOT staff,pertaining to the future of Highway 99W. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation Plan (TSP) originate from the recommendations found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan. These recommendations are Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 2 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • • intended to implement Alternative B. The CAC,TAC, City staff, and ODOT staff, all recommend City Council adopt and implement the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan include incorporating the CAC policy-related recommendations and rewording Goal 12.2,Policy 6.A to be consistent with the TSP. The Tigard City Council held a work session on the Tigard 99W Plan on November 20, 2007. Council discussed the recommendations and directed staff to prepare the Tigard TSP and Comprehensive Plan amendments necessary to implement the Tigard 99W/Plan and bring them before the Tigard Planning Commission. Proposal Description The City is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee;and 4. Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended 5 through lanes for Highway 99W. The proposed text amendments are represented as bold italics for proposed new language and trikc through for proposed deleted language. Proposed graphic changes are called out and described. Part 1: Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; The proposed amendments are specific strikethrough and figure changes to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The proposed amendments reflect improvements associated with Alternative B in the Tigard 99W/Plan. Many of the changes are in tables or reference illustration changes and are listed below. There are 27 proposed modifications (each amendment can be found as a separate page beginning on page 7). • Proposed Amendment 1 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan List along ORE 99W to include a sidewalk project scope and cost. • Proposed Amendment 2 updates the Bicycle Master Plan description of bicycle lanes south of Gaarde/McDonald to Durham Road to note that these facilities are existing, not planned. • Proposed Amendment 3 updates the Bicycle Action Plan Improvement List and Cost. • Proposed Amendment 4, 5, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 26 advises that both the TSP and RTP should be amended to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current designation to widen ORE 99W to 7 lanes. • Proposed Amendment 6 and 20 add intersection improvements to Durham Road and SW Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 3 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • ., Canterbury Lane. • Proposed Amendment 7 updates potential pedestrian projects along ORE 99W to increase project scope. • Proposed Amendments 8 and 9 add pedestrian activated signalized crossings. • Proposed Amendment 11 updates a Park And Ride location. • Proposed Amendment 10 updates plan to include existing bike lanes just north of SW Greenburg Road. • Proposed Amendment 12 updates potential transit projects to implement transit queue bypass lanes along ORE 99W at several locations. • Proposed amendments 14, 15 and 16 encourage access management for highway 99W. • Proposed Amendment 21 updates the table to include specific projects and add project intersections. • Proposed Amendment 22, 23 and 24 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan project list funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 25 updates the Bicycle Action Plan funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 27 updates the City of Tigard Future Intersection Improvements table to include specific projects and add projects at the several intersections. Part 2: Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. The Transportation Planning Rule, OAR 660 Division 12,requires local jurisdictions to prepare and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99WPlan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. 24. Prior to implementation ofprojects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware ofpending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. 25. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed I-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 4 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible;and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the 1-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99W improvements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. � 5a `1�W�I 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 28. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99W problems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique.A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. If light rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetlaf use, and other improvements. In addition„$resources shall be c oordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 5 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • Part 4: Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five through lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 991V Management and Improvement Plan recommends amendments to the Tigard TSP to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes. To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2. The proposed amendment will include language to define the recommended five lanes as "through lanes". Staff feels this definition is necessary to provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function, ingress/egress spacing, and access management. This would effectively generate four thru-lanes and up to two temporary/short duration/turn lanes for access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A. Highway 99W should be widened to 6 5 ugh lanes plus auxiliary lanes through intersections throughout the study area (tool box). This improvement should be constructed in the short term. In the event that widening Highway 99 to sip 5 lanes plus auxiliary lanes through intersections is prohibitive due to physical constraints, the Dartmouth extension could potentially provide needed northeast-to-southwest travel demand. The 27 proposed amendments from Part 1 are found individually beginning on the following page.

Chapter 7 Transit CITY OF TIGARD OREGON This chapter summarizes existing and future transit needs in the City of Tigard. The following sections outline the criteria to be used to evaluate needs, provides a number of strategies for implementing a transit plan and recommends a transit plan for the City of Tigard. The needs, criteria and strategies were identified in working with the City's TSP Task Force. This committee provided input regarding the transportation system in Tigard, specifically exploring transit needs. The methodology used to develop the transit plan combined citizen and staff input. NEEDS There are currently 12 fixed bus routes which provide service within the City of Tigard. These bus routes are summarized in Chapter 3 (Existing Conditions). There are four express routes providing service to Tigard residents (12E, 64X, 92X and 95X). Existing transit headways on bus routes in Tigard range from 10-15 minutes on Routes 12 and 92X to about 30 minutes on Routes 76 and 78 during peak commute periods. Metro's Draft Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) identifies the following routes on its Public Transportation System Map (Figure 7-1)1: • ORE 217 HCT Corridor • Greenburg/Hall/Durham HCT Corridor • ORE 99W (East of ORE 217) HCT Corridor • Hall Boulevard (North of ORE 217) Frequent Bus • Hunziker Street Frequent Bus • ORE 99W (West of ORE 217) Primary Bus • Scholls Ferry Road (East of Murray) Primary Bus • 121 st/Walnut Street Primary Bus • 68th Parkway/Hampton Street Primary Bus • 72nd Avenue (South of Hampton) Primary Bus Based upon these designations, the City of Tigard designates all bus stops on HCT Corridors and Frequent Bus routes as Major Transit Stops. In addition, all park and ride sites and transit stations are designated major transit stops (Downtown Tigard, Washington Square, park and ride at ORE 99W/ 14 °�e74th Avenue). While Tri-Met bus ridership in Tigard increased by 35% from 1990 to 1994 and another 15% from 1994 to 1999 (comparing 12 routes), transit ridership represents 6 percent of Tigard PM peak hour trip making. 1 Public Transportation System Map, Metro,Version 4.0, December 1, 1997.

ORE 99W fails in the future without improvement. Of all the regional transportation issues in Tigard, ORE 99W is probably the closest to a"rubik's cube". Tigard depends heavily on ORE 99W as its primary arterial. There are no parallel routes to ORE 99W and its diagonal alignment and the physical features of Tigard make using ORE 99W essential for also any trip in Tigard. ORE 99W's statewide status and linkage to Yamhill County and the Oregon Coast have similar issues—the only route servicing northeast-southwest travel. The future demand for this corridor is well beyond its five lane capacity without system-wide improvements. Ten various alternatives to improving ORE 99W were investigated, ranging from the no improvement to radical capacity improvements. Table 8-5 summarizes the wide range of alternatives. Unfortunately, no one improvement results in desirable (better than level of service F) operation. The most significant finding was that no matter whether ORE 99W was widened southwest of Greenburg Road,the end result was failure. Added capacity on ORE 99W(tested by modeling seven lanes) resulted in significantly higher turning movements on/off ORE 99W and large through movements on ORE 99W. The end result was that not only would you have to widen to seven lanes but at nearly every intersection additional turning lanes were needed (double lefts, right turn) creating nearly a 10 lane cross section at intersection. And even after that the end result was level of service F conditions. Therefore the recommended approach combines several elements to produce a minimally acceptable operating condition. The TSP recommends: 1) widening ORE 99W to seven lanes between 1 S and Crccnburg Road;2) retaining the five lane •• ':;:• extensive intersection improvements— auxiliary turning and/or through lanes at key intersections on Highway 99W,-2) aggressive access management, including the development of an access management plan for the corridor;53)improvements to ORE 217 and 1-5 noted above;64) off-system improvements such as freeway improvements and arterials such as Walnut extension;and-75) consideration of a western/Yamhill County commuter rail corridor."

Update text to "ORE 99W seven lanes access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. " Tigard Triangle Area. This subarea is also subject of a recently adopted plan. The basic package of street improvements needed to mitigate level of service F conditions in this area include: • ORE 99W c3 access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. • Dartmouth Street five lanes • 72nd Avenue five lanes • Atlanta Street extended from Haines Street to 72nd Avenue • Backage roads to ORE 99W (providing access to business but not directly on ORE 99W) Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 20 OF 33 CPA2008-00011 2/23/2009 • • Proposed Amendment 16: TSP Chapter 8: Motor Vehicles Committee Recommendation: Page 8-38: Table, third item: Update text to 'Level of service F conditions result in Tigard Triangle without 7 lanes. This option would limit the potential of the Tigard Triangle to serve the projected land use in the future without localized intersection improvements. These improvements could include additional approach turn and/or through lanes northbound and southbound on ORE 99W for short periods. There were no subarea alternatives that precluded the need for 7 lanes between 15 and 217." Other options considered in this sub area included a Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing of ORE 217, an extension of Atlanta Street to Dartmouth Street and five lanes on ORE 99W. The following summarizes the findings of these options: Dartmouth Attracts less than 5,000 vehicles per day by itself; extend Walnut to link to Hunziker up with the overcrossing of ORE 217 and the volume increase to 8,000 ORE 217 per day. Implement complete ramp metering in the Tigard Triangle Overcrossi area (on ORE 217 and 1-5) and the volume increases to 13,000 ng vehicles per day. Most of the traffic benefits of the overcrossing are produced with the Hunziker to Hampton overcrossing and the Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing has limited additional benefit. Unfortunately, ORE 99W still requires mitigation with or without overcrossing; access to ORE 217 would not be allowed by ODOT due to substandard spacing resulting in unsafe operation at large expense. One option where this overcrossing may be desirable in the future would be where ramp metering is fully operational and improvements to ORE 217 include a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane alternative where direct connections to ORE 99W are desired. The Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing could provide access to the Tigard Triangle and ORE 99W area via drop in ramps. Therefore, a potential alignment should be preserved for future consideration (where the alignment would go through parking lots). However, the overcrossing is not part of the street improvement plan in the TSP. Atlanta While the Atlanta extension to 72nd is 10,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day Extension the segment to the south connecting to Dartmouth is well below that to level. Recent development has blocked an optimal alignment. Dartmouth Backage roads will be more effective in this setting. The TSP includes the Atlanta extension to 72nd and backage roads with redevelopment.

Staff wishes to provide advance information about the project and give Council an opportunity to ask questions or raise issues to staff prior to the work session. Council is receiving advance information because the project's Citizen Advisory Committee 0(CAC) held its last meeting on September 7, 2007. The CAC wished to receive the final report and a near final draft of its recommendations well in advance of Council's November 20 work session. The CAC plans to be at the work session and present these to Council. In addition, staff wishes to make this information available to Council at the same time it is provided to the CAC. We feel this is important to make it possible to respond to constituent questions,if needed. ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS AND AVAILABLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION Accompanying this memo is Attachment A: Tigard 99W Improvement Management Plan Final Report;Attachment B: October 16, 2007 Memo to the CAC transmitting a draft of its recommendations;Attachment C: Meeting Notes of the CAC's September 10 Meeting, and Attachment D: List of Highway 99W Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) members. Also available from staff are notes of the CAC's previous meetings, stakeholder interview summaries, and summary results of a questionnaire administered at a community open house. Furthermore, numerous technical drafts of the 99W report are available, as well as a significant amount of technical background information. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Citizen Involvement Process and CAC Proposed Recommendations As mentioned above, this project involved a Tigard Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) composed of 11 citizens appointed by Council. This group met six times during the course I:\LRPLN\Ron\CAC MEETINGS\memocchaiglfl'hvadranceinfonnation.doc 1 • • of the project. In addition, three public open houses were held, and a number of citizen stakeholders were interviewed by the project consulting team. More time and effort was spent working with the CAC than originally anticipated by the project's scope of work. This was done because the CAC wished to do more than just advise the execution of work by project consultants and staff. The CAC wished to provide its own recommendations and insights to the City Council and not be just an accessory to the technical process. A major accomplishment of this effort was the development of the CAC's 10 recommendations pertaining to the future of Highway 99W. ODOT was also involved. Lidwien Rahinan ODOT TGM Supervisor was present at the CAC's September 10, 2007 meeting and helped finalize the recommendations. It is important to stress that the CAC,in addition to staff and ODOT, is recommending Council adopt and implement the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. This will require Council to direct the Planning Commission to amend the City's Transportation Plan and to make conforming Comprehensive Plan policy changes. The following are the CAC's 10 proposed project recommendations: Proposed Highway 99W CAC Recommendations 1. Prior to implementation of projects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are Y made aware of pending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. 2. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed I-5 / Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through-traffic and freight movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible, and that the City shall support this position, and otherwise participate in the project, as an active member of the I-5 / 99W Connector Steering Committee. 3. As part of the transportation management, planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99W improvements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 4. The City shall adopt Alternative B as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall,in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 5. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore,it is important that solutions to Highway 99W problems be evaluated to assess impacts on other C\LRPLN\Ron\CAC MEETINGS\memocchwigh99wadvancemfonnation.doc 2 • • • streets and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 6. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/ state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. 7. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box" with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 8. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique. A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is an important factor. 9. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. If light rail is not possible within the reasonable future then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 10. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic,land use,and other improvements. In addition, staff resources shall be committed to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. Report Recommendations and Findings On pages 1 —3 the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan Report provides an excellent summary of why and how the project was executed. In brief, the project's purpose was to develop an improvement and management plan for Highway 99 W in Tigard because future forecasts indicate its performance will deteriorate as future trip demand grows. The Tigard 99W Plan proposes all transportation modes be enhanced through a series of projects over the long-term. For example, the Plan conceptually proposes a wide range of intersection, pedestrian/ bikeway improvements, and access management efforts. In this case, access management means working with property owners/businesses over the long term to redesign and reconfigure driveways to reduce delays and hazards associated with turning movements. In addition, medians are proposed along portions of the highway. Both the Technical and Citizen Advisory Committees have recommended that Alternative B be the preferred option. Pages 4 through 11 of the report present a summary of the rationale used to select Alternative B. The project development process also evaluated two other alternatives. Both of these alternatives focused on road widening. Alternative A evaluated partial widening of 99W through Tigard to seven lanes, and Alternative C evaluated seven-lane widening of the full length. Both of these were rejected for cost,right-of-way impacts,and quality of life concerns. I:\LRPLN\Ron\CAC MEETINGS\memocchwigh99wadvanceinfoonation.doc 3 • , • \\ • Tigard 99W Corridor Land Use Planning Future land use and economic development planning is important for the future of Highway 99W Corridor. However, this project did not do this. It will have to be part of a future effort. The ODOT TGM Project Manager and Technical Advisory Committee felt that the project budget and timeframe did not allow land use planning to be integrated into the project. Please note that the CAC has recommended that, "A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City / state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor." Conclusion Staff and the CAC will jointly present the report and recommendations at Council's November 20, 2007 work session. Council will be requested to direct the Planning Commission to amend the City's Transportation System Plan to incorporate Alternative B's proposed projects and management measures. The CAC will also present its recommendations. It is recommended that Council consider them advisory in implementing Alternative `B". In addition, Council is requested to direct the Planning Commission, Citizen Policy Interest Team, and staff to consider them for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan's Goal 12,Transportation Chapter. Several of the statements are suitable for Action Measures, and others may serve as policies. Thank you for your attention and please feel free to contact Gus Duenas, City Engineer or myself if you have questions prior to the work session.

TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN REPORT— S1AFF AND CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE(CCAC) RECOMMENDA- TIONS 9 : 17 : 02 PM Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said the Highway 99W traffic congestion is well known and many plans have been done over the years. I Ie said this plan is different because it provides specific policy recommendations. Mr. Bunch acknowledged City,Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for funding this study with a grant, Tin-Met,Washington County and Metro were all at the table. Staff proposes that the CAC's recommendations come to the Planning Commission Engineer Duenas summarized Highway 99W issues,and future needs in a Powerpoint presentation, which is available in die City Recorder's office. He said there is no one answer to the various traffic difficulties on 99W. He said the Committee created combinations of three main alternatives: • Partial Widening, • Access Management • Full Widening. Councilor Wilson said he was on the Transportation System Plan Committee in 2002 and asked what is different about this plan. Engineer Duenas said this plan contains medians and improved intersections,while maintaining a five-lane system throughout. Mayor Dirksen asked if traffic signals could be more aggressively coordinated. Engineer Duenas replied that while synchronization of the signal system is an objective, it can have the unintended effect of bogging down traffic. He said it is designed for a particul;u speed and when that speed is not achieved,it doesn't work. Mayor Dirksen asked if Council has reviewed this document and feels that they have enough information to make a decision. City Manager Prosser asked when staff would be bringing this back for formal adoption. Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said it would be back for Council review within three to four months. Councilor Wilson said.he liked the direction of the recommendations but a flaw of the Study is that it considers only the pavement and not the land use aspects. He said many Tigard City Council Meeting\linures Nc ember 211,211117' 12 • • •. of the commercial uses along 99W such as strip malls, are obsolete. IIe said if the priority is access control to make it easier for cars along 99W, then backage roads need consideration. He said backage roads were rejected in this report as not feasible and he disagrees. He said they would be challenging because 99W is on a diagonal but he'd like to see them affirmed as part of the plan. He said seven lanes are in the ODOT plan and if Tigard is going to give up the funds available for that widening, that money should be spent on backage roads and other considerations. Mayor Dirksen said ODOT will support projects off of the highway if it can be proven that they would enhance the functioning of the street. Councilor Buehner said she supported backage roads and suggested putting stronger language about them in the report and to make it a directive as part of the land use analysis. Mayor .Dirksen asked if it was possible, rather than rejecting this report because it doesn't include this consideration, for Council to call for the addition of an appendix, that would identify this as a preferred method of achieving the goals of access management. Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said this is a site design issue more associated with a specific project or redevelopment IIe suggested keeping the 99W Report as it is and taking on the backage roads as part of Tigard's own project specific improvements. He said requiring shared parking and connected parking of new • development could be accomplished on a site by site basis. IIe said the City's Transportation System Plan is being updated and specific language can provide direction to do this whenever possible. He said the City would need to look at its own Development Code standards in order to ensure appropriate stacking distance and side- street connectivity and then request design exceptions from ODOT if needed. In response to a question from Mayor Dirksen, Assistant Community Development Director Bunch reiterated that the backage roads/shared parking lots solution is a local response to the plan, not part of the plan and is based upon the City's own land use authorities and policies. Councilor Buchner said she disagreed and wanted to see this become part of the plan so it doesn't get lost. She said if it wasn't included she would not vote for the plan. Councilor Wilson said he agreed that these issues should be addressed. He mentioned that when looking on the Transportation and Grown Management website it specifically talks about coupling land use with transportation. He said their backage road option needs to become part of this ODOT funded plan. Assistant Community Director Bunch said, "My concern is one of practicality in that we do have this plan right now. We don't want to approach adoption of this plan based upon a specific element that can be accomplished through a local initiative." IIe said the City can accomplish these other things through another ODOT funded TGM plan Tigard's Transportation System Plan. Tigard C4 Council Meeting Minutes Nuvembcr 20,2007 13 • • Mayor Dirksen recommended that Councilors Buchner and Wilson work with Assistant Community Development Director Bunch to see if they can come up with a compromise. The proposed highway 99W Citizen Advisory Committee Recommendations were presented by Mr. Bunch. A copy of these recommendations is available in the City Recorder's Office: He invited two CAC members to offer their perceptions. Jesse Black said he represented the Tigard Chamber of Commerce. I-Ie thanked Mr. Bunch and Mr. Duenas for shepherding them on this Committee. He said the City needs to come to an agreement about what the problem on 99W is. He said ODOT just wants to get more cars through Tigard but he said he feels the problem is that there is too much congestion preventing citizens from getting to one side of town to the other, to get from their homes to businesses, etc. IIe said over 50% of the traffic doesn't originate or terminate in Tigard. He felt the only way to solve the problem was to re-route traffic from Highway 99W to I-5 and the best bypass route is whatever can be built the soonest. IIe urged the City Council to help hurry this along. Tim McGilvery said he was the bicycle advocate on the CAC and looked to tie many things together such as the downtown development and commuter rail. IIe said nothing can be done here about sprawl in Sherwood but there are ways that Tigard can improve transportation alternatives for their own citizens. He urged Council to ask citizens to move around in single-occupant vehicles. He said Fanno Creek is a jewel and the Fanno Creek Trail is fantastic. He recommended opening the Trail under the 99W Bridge as.a way to give bicycles and pedestrians a connection to the trail system without traveling on 99W. Mayor Dirksen said Tigard meets regularly with Tri-Met about improving mass transit between Tigard and downtown Portland, as well as between nearby cities. IIe said Council is looking at bike lanes that don't exactly match the main street grids. Mr. McGilvery said he supported getting rid of the bike lanes on 99W. IIe said there may be resistance because it can be the flattest and fastest route but viable alternatives are available to 99W, which is noisy, smelly and dangerous for cyclists. He suggested developing a spoke and hub system to move citizens around. Councilor Wilson said he supported all 10 recommendations and suggested adding an eleventh - removing the bike lanes from 99W and putting them on parallel streets. He also suggested a twelfth — putting utility lines underground and adding a street tree program. IIe said the City was told years ago that the power lines were of too high a voltage to put underground but there wasn't the underground directional holing capacity then that is available now. IIe suggested the low voltage telephone and medium voltage lines could be removed from the poles since we're doing work there anyway and put underground. He said high voltage electrical lines could remain near the top of the pole,and street trees could be planted underneath them. • Tigard City Council MIccting i\Iinutes November 211,2007 14 • • Assistant Community Development Manager Bunch said working with the Tree Board might be feasible when planning the undergrounding of utilities to enhance the 99W aesthetics. 6.

Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 1 OF 34 CPA2008-00011 3/5/2009 • • .. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History Traffic congestion consistently ranked as the number one issue with Tigard citizens in three community surveys performed during the past three years. Citizens specifically identified congestion on Highway 99W as a major problem, and expressed great concern about its adverse effect on access to the Tigard Downtown area and the region as a whole. This highway carries 50,000 vehicles per day, half of which is regional through traffic,and is currently overwhelmed by the existing traffic volumes. At peak travel hours, cut-through traffic uses the City of Tigard's street system to avoid the Highway 99W traffic congestion. This often causes safety and livability issues in residential neighborhoods. In recognition of the citizen concerns regarding the heavy traffic congestion on Highway 99W, the Tigard City Council established a goal in 2005 to improve the Highway 99W corridor, and continued that goal into 2006. To develop solutions to the traffic congestion on the highway, the City applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the Tigard 99W/Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W/Plan). Through a planning and public involvement process the project developed concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and recommended additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. Development of the Tigard 99W/Plan included detailed analysis of needs, opportunities,market analysis of redevelopment potential in the corridor, and comparative evaluation of concept plan alternatives. The primary focus of the Tigard 99W/Plan is identifying projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion and improving traffic circulation within the highway corridor from Durham Road to the I-5 interchange. It builds on previous studies and was developed through a planning process of four key steps: • Establish inventory of existing conditions • Analyze needs, opportunities and constraints • Develop alternative improvement concepts • Compare and evaluate alternative concepts Three alternatives were evaluated to assess the impact each would have on the transportation deficiencies in the corridor. Alternative A evaluated partial widening of 99W through Tigard to seven lanes and Alternative C evaluated widening to seven lanes for the entire length. Both were rejected for cost, right-of-way impacts, and quality of life concerns. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) was an access management strategy.Alternative B proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management,intersection improvements,parallel roadway connections, and other off-highway improvements. The development of the Tigard 99W/Plan included both public involvement and interagency coordination.A project citizen advisory committee (CAC) and technical advisory committee (TAC) were appointed to review and comment on the plan as it developed. In addition, three open houses and citizen stakeholder interviews were held. Both the CAC and TAC recommended that Alternative B be the preferred option. The CAC also submitted certain policy- related recommendations,with the help of ODOT staff, pertaining to the future of Highway 99W. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation Plan (TSP) originate from the recommendations found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W/Plan. These recommendations are Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 2 OF 34 CPA2008-00011 3/5/2009 • intended to implement Alternative B. The CAC,TAC,City staff, and ODOT staff,all recommend City Council adopt and implement the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan include incorporating the CAC policy-related recommendations and rewording Goal 12.2,Policy 6.A to be consistent with the TSP. The Tigard City Council held a work session on the Tigard 99W Plan on November 20, 2007. Council discussed the recommendations and directed staff to prepare the Tigard TSP and Comprehensive Plan amendments necessary to implement the Tigard 99W Plan and bring them before the Tigard Planning Commission. Proposal Description The City is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to'include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Iiriproveinent and Management Plan;• 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the .recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee;and 4.Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal.12.2 to reflect recommended 5 lanes for Highway 99W. The proposed text amendments are represented-as bold italics for proposed new language and . for proposed deleted language. Proposed-graphic changes are called out and "described: • Part 1: Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; The proposed amendments are specific strikethrough and figure changes to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and found in Appendix C of the Tigard-99W Improvement and Management Plan. The proposed amendments reflect improvements associated with Alternative B in the Tigard 99W Plan. Many of the changes are in tables or reference-illustration changes and are listed below. There are 27 proposed modifications (each amendment can be found as a separate page beginning on page 7). • Proposed Amendment 1 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan List along ORE 99W to include a sidewalk project scope and cost. • Proposed Amendment 2 updates the Bicycle Master Plan description of bicycle lanes south of Gaarde/McDonald to Durham Road to note,that these facilities are existing, not planned. • Proposed Amendment 3 updates the Bicycle Action Plan Improvement List and Cost. • Proposed Amendment 4, 5, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 26 advises that both the TSP and RTP should be amended to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current designation to widen ORE 99W to 7 lanes. • Proposed Amendment 6 and 20 add intersection improvements to Durham Road and SW Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 3 OF 34 CPA2008-00011 3/5/2009 O • Canterbury Lane. • Proposed Amendment 7 updates potential pedestrian projects along ORE 99W to increase project scope. • Proposed Amendments 8 and 9 add pedestrian activated signalized crossings. • Proposed Amendment 11 updates a Park And Ride location. • Proposed Amendment 10 updates plan to include existing bike lanes just north of SW Greenburg Road. • Proposed Amendment 12 updates potential transit projects to implement transit queue bypass lanes along ORE 99W at several locations. • Proposed amendments 14, 15 and 16 encourage access management for highway 99W. • Proposed Amendment 21 updates the table to include specific projects and add project intersections. • Proposed Amendment 22, 23 and 24 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan project list funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 25 updates the Bicycle Action Plan funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 27 updates the City of Tigard Future Intersection Improvements table to include specific projects and add projects at the several intersections. Part 2: Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. The Transportation Planning Rule, OAR 660 Division 12, requires local jurisdictions to prepare and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. 24. Prior to implementation of projects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan,'especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware of pending improvements.. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. . Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 4 OF 34 CPA2008-00011 3/5/2009 • 25. - The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed 1-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as'one which reduces through traffic and freight movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible; and that the City shall 'support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the 1-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. • 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99W improvements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop.action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B:shall include design • and engineering strategies,funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 28. :Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity,of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99W problems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable.transportation option. 30. The-City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique. A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. If light rail is Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 5 OF 34 CPA2008-00011 3/5/2009 • I not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. • 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, resources shall be used to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. Part 4: Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 99W Management and Improvement Plan recommends amendments to the Tigard TSP to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes. To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2.The proposed amendment will include language to define the recommended five lanes as "through lanes". Staff feels this definition is necessary to provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function,ingress/egress spacing, and access management. This would effectively generate four thru-lanes and up to two temporary/short duration/turn lanes for access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A. Highway 99W should be widened to 6 5 lanes plus auxiliary lanes through • intersections throughout the study area (tool box). This improvement should' be constructed in the short term. In the event that widening Highway 99 to six 5 lanes plus auxiliary lanes through intersections is prohibitive due to physical constraints, the Dartmouth extension could potentially provide needed northeast-to-southwest travel demand.

ORE 99W fails in the future without improvement. Of all the regional transportation issues in Tigard, ORE 99W is probably the closest to a"rubik's cube". Tigard depends heavily on ORE 99W as its primary arterial. There are no parallel routes to ORE 99W and its diagonal alignment and the physical features of Tigard make using ORE 99W essential for also any trip in Tigard. ORE 99W's statewide status and linkage to Yamhill County and the Oregon Coast have similar issues-the only route servicing northeast-southwest travel. The future demand for this corridor is well beyond its five lane capacity without system-wide improvements. Ten various alternatives to improving ORE 99W were investigated, ranging from the no improvement to radical capacity improvements. Table 8-5 summarizes the wide range of alternatives. Unfortunately, no one improvement results in desirable (better than level of service F) operation. The most significant finding was that no matter whether ORE 99W was widened southwest of Greenburg Road, the end result was failure. Added capacity on ORE 99W(tested by modeling seven lanes) resulted in significantly higher turning movements on/off ORE 99W and large through movements on ORE 99W. The end result was that not only would you have to widen to seven lanes but at nearly every intersection additional turning lanes were needed (double lefts, right turn) creating nearly a 10 lane cross section at intersection. And even after that the end result was level of service F conditions. Therefore the recommended approach combines several elements to produce a minimally acceptable operating condition. The TSP recommends: 1) widening ORE 99W to seven lanes between 1 5 and Crecnburg Road;2) retaining the free lane cross section on roadway southwest of Crcenbneg Road;3) extensive intersection improvements - auxiliary turning and/or through lanes at key intersections on Highway 99W;-2) aggressive access management;including the development of an access management plan for the corridor;33) improvements to ORE 217 and 1-5 noted above;44) off-system improvements such as freeway improvements and arterials such as Walnut extension; and 775) consideration of a western/Yamhill County commuter rail corridor."

Update text to "ORE 99W yes access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. " Tigard Triangle Area. This subarea is also subject of a recently adopted plan. The basic package of street improvements needed to mitigate level of service F conditions in this area include: • ORE 99W acvcn lanes access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key.intersections. . • Dartmouth Street five lanes • 72nd Avenue five lanes . • • Atlanta.Street ektended from Haines Street to 72"d Avenue • Backage roads to ORE 99W (providing access to business but not directly on ORE 99W) • • Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 21 OF 34 CPA2008-00011 3/5/2009 • • Proposed Amendment 16: TSP.Chapter 8: Motor Vehicles Committee Recommendation: Page 8-38: Table, third item: Update text to 'Level of service.F conditions result in Tigard Triangle without 7 lanes. This option would limit the potential of the Tigard Mangle to serve the projected land use in the future without localked intersection improvements. These improvements could include additional approach turn and/or through lanes northbound and southbound on ORE 991 V for short periods. There were no subarea alternatives that precluded tlx!feedlot-7 lanes between l S and 217." Other options considered in this sub area included a Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing of ORE 217, an extension of Atlanta Street to Dartmouth Street and five lanes on ORE 99W. The following summarizes the findings of these options: Dartmouth Attracts less than 5,000 vehicles per day by itself; extend Walnut to link to Hunziker up with the overcrossing of ORE 217 and the volume increase to 8,000 ORE 217 per day. Implement complete ramp metering in the Tigard Triangle Overcrossi area (on ORE 217 and 1-5) and the volume increases to 13,000 ng vehicles per day. Most of the traffic benefits of the overcrossing are produced with the Hunziker to Hampton overcrossing and the Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing has limited additional benefit. Unfortunately, ORE 99W still requires mitigation with or without overcrossing; access to ORE 217 would not be allowed by ODOT due to substandard spacing resulting in unsafe operation at large expense. One option where this overcrossing may be desirable in the future would be where ramp metering is fully operational and improvements to ORE 217 include a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane alternative where direct connections to ORE 99W are desired. The Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing could provide access to the Tigard Triangle and ORE 99W area via drop in ramps. Therefore, a potential alignment should be preserved for future consideration (where the alignment would go through parking lots). However, the overcrossing is not part of the street improvement plan in the TSP. Atlanta While the Atlanta extension to 72nd is 10,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day Extension the segment to the south connecting to Dartmouth is well below that to level. Recent development has blocked an optimal alignment. Dartmouth Backage roads will be more effective in this setting. The TSP includes the Atlanta extension to 72nd and backage roads with redevelopment. Five lane Level of service F conditions result in Tigard Triangle without 7 lanes. This ORE 99W option would limit the potential of the Tigard Triangle to serve the projected land use in the future' without localized intersection improvements. These improvements could include additional approach turn and/or through lanes northbound and southbound on ORE 99W for short periods. - - _ _ -- __ - - - _ .. -_ - Land Use Review Narrative City of Tigard PAGE 22 OF 34 CPA2008-00011 3/5/2009 • • Proposed Amendment 17: TSP Chapter 8: Motor Vehicles .

EXHIBIT A CPA2008-00011 Proposed Amendments Part 1: Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the • Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan: The proposed changes are specific strikethrough and figure changes to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and are found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The proposed amendments reflect improvements associated with Alternative B in the Tigard 99W Plan. Many of the changes are in tables or reference illustration changes and are listed below. There are 27 proposed modifications (beginning on page 5 of this Exhibit, each amendment can be found as a separate page). In summary they are: • Proposed Amendment 1 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan List along ORE 99W to include a sidewalk project scope and cost. • Proposed Amendment 2 updates the Bicycle Master Plan description of bicycle lanes south of Gaarde/McDonald to Durham Road to note that these facilities are existing, not planned. • Proposed Amendment 3 updates the Bicycle Action Plan Improvement List and Cost. • Proposed Amendment 4, 5, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 26 advises that both the TSP and RTP should be amended to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current designation to widen ORE 99W to 7 lanes. • Proposed Amendment 6 and 20 add intersection improvements to Durham Road and SW Canterbury Lane. • Proposed Amendment 7 updates potential pedestrian projects along ORE 99W to increase project scope. • Proposed Amendments 8 and 9 add pedestrian activated signalized crossings. • Proposed Amendment 11 updates a Park and Ride location. • Proposed Amendment 10 updates plan to include existing bike lanes just north of SW Greenburg Road. • Proposed Amendment 12 updates potential transit projects to implement transit queue bypass lanes along ORE 99W at several locations. • Proposed amendments 14, 15 and 16 identify access management measures for highway 99W. • Proposed Amendment 21 updates the table to include specific projects and add project intersections. • Proposed Amendment 22, 23 and 24 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan project list funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 25 updates the Bicycle Action Plan funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 27 updates the City of Tigard Future Intersection Improvements table to include specific projects and add projects at the several intersections. Part 2: Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. The Transportation Planning Rule, OAR 660 Division 12,requires local jurisdictions to prepare and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their CPA200 8-00011 PAGE 1 OF 31 comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan(TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. • Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for T jgard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. The numbering will start as indicated: 24. Prior to implementation ofprojects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware ofpendingimprovements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. 25. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed I-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible;and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the 1-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99W improvements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99WPlan as part ofits Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 28. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity ofHighway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99Wproblems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. • CPA2008-0001 I PAGE 2 OF 31 • • 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, • the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the neat term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique.A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. Iflight rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 33. Highway 99WAction Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, resources shall be used to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. Part 4:Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 99W Management and Improvement Plan recommends the Tigard TSP is amended to retain four/five lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes. To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2. Staff feels the language change is necessary to provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes,or access management. Furthermore, although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function,ingress/egress spacing, and access management. This would effectively generate four th`ru-lanes and up to two temporary/short duration/turn lanes for access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A. Highway 99W should - = . - - - - - . .irtterseetiefts-retain a 5 lane section throughout the study area, except where necessary to accommodate adjacent development impacts, spot capacity improvements, and intersection improvements.

Chapter 7 Transit 4.1L4J' CITY OF TIGARD OREGON This chapter summarizes existing and future transit needs in the City of Tigard. The following sections outline the criteria to be used to evaluate needs, provides a number of strategies for implementing a transit plan and recommends a transit plan for the City of Tigard. The needs, criteria and strategies were identified in working with the City's TSP Task Force. This committee provided input regarding the transportation system in Tigard, specifically exploring transit needs. The methodology used to develop the transit plan combined citizen and staff input. NEEDS There are currently 12 fixed bus routes which provide service within the City of Tigard. These bus routes are summarized in Chapter 3 (Existing Conditions). There are four express routes providing service to Tigard residents (12E, 64X, 92X and 95X). Existing transit headways on bus routes in Tigard range from 10-15 minutes on Routes 12 and 92X to about 30 minutes on Routes 76 and 78 during peak commute periods. Metro's Draft Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) identifies the following routes on its Public Transportation System Map (Figure 7-1)1: • ORE 217 HCT Corridor • Greenburg/Hall/Durham HCT Corridor • ORE 99W(East of ORE 217) HCT Corridor • Hall Boulevard (North of ORE 217) Frequent Bus • Hunziker Street Frequent Bus • ORE 99W (West of ORE 217) Primary Bus • Scholls Ferry Road (East of Murray) Primary Bus • 121st/Walnut Street Primary Bus • 68th Parkway/Hampton Street Primary Bus • 72"d Avenue (South of Hampton) Primary Bus Based upon these designations, the City of Tigard designates all bus stops on HCT Corridors and Frequent Bus routes as Major Transit Stops. In addition, all park and ride sites and transit stations are designated major transit stops (Downtown Tigard, Washington Square, park and ride at ORE 99W/ 2"et e74th Avenue). While Tri-Met bus ridership in Tigard increased by 35%from 1990 to 1994 and another 15%from 1994 to 1999 (comparing 12 routes), transit ridership represents 6 percent of Tigard PM peak hour trip making. 1 Public Transportation System Map, Metro,Version 4.0, December 1, 1997.

ORE 99W fails in the future without improvement. Of all the regional transportation issues in Tigard, ORE 99W is probably the closest to a "rubik's cube". Tigard depends heavily on ORE 99W as its primary arterial. There are no parallel routes to ORE 99W and its diagonal alignment and the physical features of Tigard make using ORE 99W essential for also any trip in Tigard. ORE 99W's statewide status and linkage to Yamhill County and the Oregon Coast have similar issues—the only route servicing northeast-southwest travel. The future demand for this corridor is well beyond its five lane capacity without system-wide improvements. Ten various alternatives to improving ORE 99W were investigated, ranging from the no improvement to radical capacity improvements. Table 8-5 summarizes the wide range of alternatives. Unfortunately, no one improvement results in desirable (better than level of service F) operation. The most significant finding was that no matter whether ORE 99W was widened southwest of Greenburg Road, the end result was failure. Added capacity on ORE 99W (tested by modeling seven lanes) resulted in significantly higher turning movements on/off ORE 99W and large through movements on ORE 99W. The end result was that not only would you have to widen to seven lanes but at nearly every intersection additional turning lanes were needed (double lefts, right turn) creating nearly a 10 lane cross section at intersection. And even after that the end result was level of service F conditions. Therefore the recommended approach combines several elements to produce a minimally acceptable operating condition. The TSP recommends: 1) • , .. ' '.- • _ • ' •:%;2) retaining the fire lane . _. '; extensive intersection improvements— auxiliary turning and/or through lanes at key intersections on Highway 99W;-2)aggressive access management, including the development of an access management plan for the corridor;33)improvements to ORE 217 and I-5.noted above;64) off-system improvements such as freeway improvements and arterials such as Walnut extension;and.75) consideration of a western/Yamhill County commuter rail corridor."

Update text to "ORE 99W access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. " Tigard Triangle Area. This subarea is also subject of a recently adopted plan. The basic package of street improvements needed to mitigate level of service F conditions in this area include: • ORE 99W sever' lanes access management with auxiliary turn and/or through lanes at key intersections. • Dartmouth Street five lanes • 72nd Avenue five lanes • Atlanta Street extended from Haines Street to 72nd Avenue • Backage roads to ORE 99W (providing access to business but not directly on ORE 99W) CPA2008-00011 PAGE 18 OF 31 • • Proposed Amendment 16: TSP Chapter 8: Motor Vehicles Committee Recommendation: Page 8-38: Table, third item: Update text to `Level of service F conditions result in Tigard Triangle without 7 lanes. This option would limit the potential of the Tigard Triangle to serve the projected land use in the future without localized intersection improvements. These improvements could include additional approach turn and/or through lanes northbound and southbound on ORE 99W for short periods. There were no subarea alternatives that precluded the need for 7 lanes between 15 and 217." Other options considered in this sub area included a Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing of ORE 217, an extension of Atlanta Street to Dartmouth Street and five lanes on ORE 99W. The following summarizes the findings of these options: Dartmouth Attracts less than 5,000 vehicles per day by itself; extend Walnut to link to Hunziker up with the overcrossing of ORE 217 and the volume increase to 8,000 ORE 217 per day. Implement complete ramp metering in the Tigard Triangle. Overcrossi area (on ORE 217 and 1-5) and the volume increases to 13,000 ng vehicles per day. Most of the traffic benefits of the overcrossing are produced with the Hunziker to Hampton overcrossing and the Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing has limited additional benefit. Unfortunately, ORE 99W still requires mitigation with or without overcrossing; access to ORE 217 would not be allowed by ODOT due to substandard spacing resulting in unsafe operation at large expense. One option where this overcrossing may be desirable in the future would be where ramp metering is fully operational and improvements to ORE 217 include a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane alternative where direct connections to ORE 99W are desired. The Dartmouth to Hunziker overcrossing could provide access to the Tigard Triangle and ORE 99W area via drop in ramps. Therefore, a potential alignment should be preserved for future consideration (where the alignment would go through parking lots). However, the overcrossing is not part of the street improvement plan in the TSP. Atlanta While the Atlanta extension to 72"d is 10,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day Extension the segment to the south connecting to Dartmouth is well below that to level. Recent development has blocked an optimal alignment. Dartmouth Backage roads will be more effective in this setting. The TSP includes the Atlanta extension to 72nd and backage roads with redevelopment.

SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History Traffic congestion consistently ranked as the number one issue with Tigard citizens in three community surveys performed during the past three years. Citizens specifically identified congestion on Highway 99W as a major problem, and expressed great concern about its adverse effect on access to the Tigard Downtown area and the region as a whole. This highway carries 50,000 vehicles per day, half of which is regional through traffic. As a result, the highway is overwhelmed by the existing traffic volumes. At peak travel hours, cut-through traffic uses the City of Tigard's street system to avoid the Highway 99W traffic congestion. This often causes safety and livability issues in residential neighborhoods. In recognition of the citizen concerns regarding the heavy traffic congestion on Highway 99W, the Tigard City Council established a goal in 2005 to improve the Highway 99W corridor, and continued that goal into 2006. To develop solutions to the traffic congestion on the highway, the City applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant to develop the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan). Through a planning and public involvement process, conducted with ODOT,TriMet, Metro, Washington County, and other regional partners,the project developed concept- level recommendations for transportation improvements and recommended additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. Development of the Tigard 99W Plan included detailed analysis of transportation needs, opportunities, and comparative evaluation of concept plan alternatives. The primary focus of the Tigard 99W Plan is identifying projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion and improving traffic circulation within the highway corridor from Durham Road to the Interstate 5. It builds on previous studies and was developed through a planning process of four key steps: • Establish inventory of existing conditions • Analyze needs, opportunities and constraints • Develop alternative improvement concepts • Compare and evaluate alternative concepts Three alternatives were evaluated to assess the impact each would have on the transportation deficiencies in the corridor. Alternative A evaluated widening Highway 99W to seven lanes from Greenburg Rd. to Interstate 5 and Alternative C evaluated widening to seven lanes for the entire length through Tigard. Both were rejected for cost, right-of-way impacts, urban design, and quality of life concerns. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) was an access management strategy. Alternative B proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term, including medians, access management,intersection improvements, bike, pedestrian, and transit improvements, and other off-highway improvements. The development of the Tigard 99W Plan included both public involvement and interagency coordination. A project specific Tigard citizen advisory committee (CAC) and technical advisory committee (TAC) were appointed to review and comment on the plan as it developed. In addition, three open houses and citizen stakeholder interviews were held. Both the CAC and TAC STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 2 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • recommended that Alternative B be the preferred option. The CAC also submitted certain policy-related recommendations pertaining to the future improvement and management of Highway 99W. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) originate from the recommendations found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan and are intended to implement Alternative B. The CAC,TAC, and ODOT staff all recommended the City implement the suggested modifications found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan include incorporating the CAC policy-related recommendations and rewording Goal 12.2, Policy 6.A to be consistent with the TSP. The Tigard City Council held.a work session on the Tigard 99WI Plan on November 20, 2007. Council discussed the recommendations and directed staff to prepare the Tigard TSP and Comprehensive Plan amendments necessary to implement the Tigard 99W Plan and bring them before the Tigard Planning Commission. The Planning Commission held a Study Session on this topic on March 2, 2009 and a public hearing on April 6, 2009. The Commission asked for the term "function" (based on ODOT comments) to be defined. Staff has researched engineering literature and recommends the following definition: Function:An action or a task that a system is designed to perform. Proposal Description The City, is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee;and 4. Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended 5 lanes for Highway 99W. The proposed text amendments are represented as bold italics for proposed new language and strike through for proposed deleted language. Proposed graphic changes are called out and described. Part 1: Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; The proposed changes are specific strikethrough and figure changes to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and are found in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The proposed amendments reflect improvements associated with Alternative B in the Tigard 99W Plan. Many of the changes are in tables or reference illustration changes and are listed below. There are 27 proposed modifications (each amendment can be found as a separate page in Exhibit A). In summary they are: • Proposed Amendment 1 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan List along ORE 99W to include a sidewalk project scope and cost. • Proposed Amendment 2 updates the Bicycle Master Plan description of bicycle lanes south of STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 3 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS �r • Gaarde/McDonald to Durham Road to note that these facilities are existing, not planned. • Proposed Amendment 3 updates the Bicycle Action Plan Improvement List and Cost. • Proposed Amendment 4, 5, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 26 advises that both the TSP and RTP should be amended to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current designation to widen ORE 99W to 7 lanes. • Proposed Amendment 6 and 20 add intersection improvements to Durham Road and SW Canterbury Lane. • Proposed Amendment 7 updates potential pedestrian projects along ORE 99W to increase project scope. • Proposed Amendments 8 and 9 add pedestrian activated signalized crossings • Proposed Amendment 11 updates a Park and Ride location. • Proposed Amendment 10 updates plan to include existing bike lanes just north of SW Greenburg Road. • Proposed Amendment 12 updates potential transit projects to implement transit queue bypass lanes along ORE 99W at several locations. • Proposed amendments 14, 15 and 16 identify access management measures for highway 99W. • Proposed Amendment 21 updates the table to include specific projects and add project intersections. • Proposed Amendment 22, 23 and 24 updates the Pedestrian Action Plan project list funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 25 updates the Bicycle Action Plan funding and implementation ranking. • Proposed Amendment 27 updates the City of Tigard Future Intersection Improvements table to include specific projects and add projects at the several intersections. Part 2: Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings. The Transportation Planning Rule, OAR 660 Division 12, requires local jurisdictions to prepare and adopt local transportation system plans that serve as the transportation element for their comprehensive plans (OAR 660-012-0015(4)). Since the City of Tigard proposes to amend the Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) based on recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan, the background information needs to be adopted by reference as findings to amend the TSP. No specific text changes are needed. Part 3: Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The City proposes to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan based on recommended policy-related language developed by the project's citizen advisory committee. The following 10 statements will be added to the recommended action measures found under Section 1 of the Transportation chapter. The numbering will start as indicated: 24. Prior to implementation ofprojects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware ofpending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 4 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • 25. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed 1-5/Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible;and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the I-5/99W Connector Steering Committee. 26. As part of the transportation management,planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99Wirnprovements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part ofits Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall, in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 28. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity ofHighway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99Wproblems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 29. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City/state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. 30. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box"with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 31. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique. A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important. 32. Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long-term objective oflight rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. 'flight rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 33. Highway 99WAction Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, resources shall be used to coordinate business development and retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 200 8-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 5 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • Part 4:Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A of Goal 12.2 to reflect recommended five lanes for Highway 99W. The Tigard 99W Management and Improvement Plan recommends amendments to the Tigard TSP to retain four/five-lanes rather than the current TSP designation to widen Highway 99W to seven lanes. To maintain consistency with the proposed TSP amendments, the City proposes to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A under Goal 12.2. Although the committees recommended a five-lane maximum, staff advises that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function, ingress/egress spacing, and access management. The proposed amendment includes language necessary to provide that flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Goal 12.2 Trafficways Policy 6. The City shall adopt the following transportation improvement strategy in order to accommodate planned land uses in the Tigard Triangle: A. Highway 99W should bc widened to 6 lanes plus auxiliary lanes through inter cti...s retain a 5 lane section throughout the study area, except where necessary to accommodate adjacent development impacts, spot capacity improvements, and intersection improvements.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 200 8-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 13 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS Findings: The City of Tigard has an adopted TSP that is consistent with OAR 660-12 (Transportation Planning Rule). The proposed amendments are derived from the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. The development of the Tigard 99W Plan was funded by the ODOT Transportation and Growth Management Program and included participation from regional and state partners. Both ODOT and Metro support the proposed amendments to improve traffic conditions on Highway 99W. The intent of the proposed amendments are to implement the Tigard 99W Plan's Alternative B,which proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term,including medians, access management,intersection improvements, parallel roadway connections, and other off- highway improvements. The proposed amendments also increase the scope for pedestrian and bike projects along the highway. The proposed amendments will make more efficient use of the Hwy 99W infrastructure and benefit the region and community,which is consistent with this policy. Additionally, the City sent out request for comments on the proposed amendment to all potentially affected jurisdictions and agencies. All were given 14 days to respond. Any comments that were received are addressed in Section VII: Outside Agency Comments of this Staff Report. This policy is satisfied. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12.1, Policy 7. Conclusion(s): 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: Regional Transportation System Plan Sets the policies, systems and actions to adequately serve walking, bicycling, driving, use of transit and national and international freight movement in this region consistent with federal and state requirements. Findings: According to the RTP, latent travel demand in the Highway 99W corridor is too great to be reasonably offset solely by capacity projects. While the RTP proposed new capacity on 99W between I-5 and Greenburg Road, anticipated to be seven lanes by 2025, no specific capacity projects are proposed south of Greenburg Road. However, due to latent demand, Highway 99W is not expected to meet the region's motor vehicle level of service policies during mid-day and peak demand periods in the future, and an alternative approach to managing and accommodating traffic in the corridor is needed. The RTP concluded that more emphasis on demand management, access management, local street connectivity and congestion management is needed to address congestion in the Highway 99W corridor. The proposed amendments adhere to the recommendations in the RTP for alternative approaches, other than capacity projects, to managing and accommodating traffic in the corridor. However, the proposed amendments will adjust the recommended width of the portion of the corridor between Greenburg Rd and Interstate 5 as five-lanes and an adjustment to the RTP will need to be made during its current update. The City must ensure the RTP reflects the City's plan for Highway 99W. ODOT and Metro staff are aware of the needed change and Tigard staff will collaborate on ensuring the adjustment is made. The proposed amendments will implement the Tigard 99W Plan's recommended Alternative B ,which proposes all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term, including medians, access management, intersection improvements, parallel roadway connections, and other off- STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 14 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS . • highway improvements. This alternative supports the RTP's conclusion of access and congestion management and general area planning. The proposed amendments are consistent with the RTP. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with the Regional Transportation System Plan. Conclusion(s): Based upon the analysis above, staff finds the proposed amendments are consistent with the applicable Metro regulations. APPLICABLE STATEWIDE LAND USE PLANNING GOALS Statewide Planning Goals 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.

Required by Oregon and federal statutes, the OTP guides development and investment in the transportation system. The existing Tigard TSP has been prepared in accordance with the Statewide Planning Goals and other applicable Plans, statutes and regulations. Tigard's TSP has been found to be consistent with the RTP and has been reviewed by ODOT, Metro and DLCD for consistency with Statewide Planning Goal 12 and associated Plans such as the Oregon Transportation Plan. Since Highway 99W is a state-owned facility, the City of Tigard applied for and received a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) grant from the State of Oregon to develop solutions to the traffic congestion on Highway 99W. The result was the development of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan (Tigard 99W Plan). The proposed amendments implement the recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Plan. The proposed amendments will encourage alternative transportation modes and enhance the comprehensive transportation plan for the City by making more efficient use of the Hwy 99W infrastructure. The proposed amendments are anticipated to improve traffic flow,reduce traffic congestion, reduce traffic crash rates, and improve options for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. Conclusion: Based upon the above findings, the application complies with the Oregon Transportation Plan. Oregon Highway Plan Defines policies and investment strategies for Oregon's state highway system for the next 20 years. It further refines the goals and policies of the Oregon Transportation Plan and is part of Oregon's Statewide Transportation Plan. Findings: The Oregon Highway Plan prioritizes major improvements to state-owned highways, including Highway 99W, to improve the efficiency of the system. The highest priority is to preserve the functionality of the existing highway system by means such as access management, local comprehensive plans, transportation demand management,improved traffic operations, and alternative modes of transportation.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 18 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • SECTION VI. ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF COMMENTS The City of Tigard's Engineering Division, Current Planning Division, and Long Range Planning Division were involved throughout the process, from Tigard 99W Plan development to the writing of findings. All comments have been incorporated into the Staff Report. Conclusion(s): Based on the input from various City divisions throughout the process, staff finds the proposed amendments do not interfere with the best interests of the City. SECTION VII. OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not respond: City of Durham City of King City City of Lake Oswego City of Portland City of Tualatin Washington County, Department of Land Use and Transportation Metro Land Use and Planning Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1, District 2A Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District Tualatin Valley Water District Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and had the following comments: Clean Water Services: Recommended the inclusion of any and all relevant provisions of the current intergovernmental agreement between the City of Tigard and Clean Water Services, and the relevant provisions of the current Design and Construction Standards (see Exhibit B). Findings: The proposed amendment does not reference issues relating to development, natural resources, vegetated corridors, erosion control,.and preservation of wetlands or natural drainage ways. These issues, and specifically the Design and Construction Standards are not applicable. City of Beaverton: Recommended the deleted turn lanes in proposed amendment 21 (Table 8-8 changes) should be maintained in the TSP improvements to assure the 5-lane section would handle future needs of the region (see Exhibit C). Findings: Maintaining the flexibility within the TSP to use auxiliary turn lanes at intersections is a benefit to the community and the function of Highway 99W. Comments submitted by the City of Beaverton suggest intersection improvements included in Table 8-8 should be maintained and not removed as recommended by the Highway 99W Plan. The Engineering Division agrees with the Beaverton comments. Leaving the projects in the TSP will provide flexibility and the projects can be reevaluated during the complete update of the TSP this year. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 19 OF 21 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1: ODOT supports the proposed amendments. However there may be instances where an additional through lane is needed between intersections, which would not meet the "auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity". ODOT recommends further clarification to retain flexibility. ODOT also recommends proposed amendments 8 and 9 are reworded from"Pedestrian Activated Signalized Crossing" to "Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements" with an asterisk stating"requires approval from State Traffic Engineer" (see Exhibit D). Findings: Circumstances may exist where an auxiliary lane will be continuous between two intersections. City staff agrees with ODOT and have included the word function to cover this scenario. The asterisk language will now read: 'Highway 99W may include auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capaciy, function, turn lanes, or access management at key locations, such as major intersections, where traffic flow and/or capacity would otherwise be constrained. For locations within 600 feet of any signalised intersection or freeway interchange, staff will determine, based on accepted engineering practices, the cross-section and auxzliay lanes that will be necessary to serve that intersection." Pedestrian connectivity is also an important component of the Tigard 99W Plan. However, signalized crossings are not always feasible for Highway 99W. City staff agrees with ODOT, and the Planning Commission as expressed at its March 2, 2009 workshop, that a signalized crossing may not be the best option as indicated in amendment 8 and 9 (TSP Table 5-2). The language has been re-worded for the Commission's consideration as recommended by ODOT: `Pedestrian Aftitkaed-Signal Crossing Enhancements*" *Requires approval from State Traffic Engineer • Conclusion(s): Based on responses, or no response, from outside agencies listed above, staff finds the proposed amendment, and the changes made based upon submitted comments, meets all requirements of these agencies and does not interfere with the best interests of the City. SECTION VIII. CONCLUSION Staff concludes that the proposed changes comply with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals, Statewide Transportation Guidelines, 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.

Although the proposed amendments emphasize that Highway 99W should only have a maximum of 4 or 5 lane for thru traffic except at the intersections where additional intersection capacity,and turn lanes are needed to maintain traffic flow. It appears that many of the turn lanes under proposed amendment 21 to the TSP Motor Vehicles chapter were deleted. Chapter 14 of the City of Tigard current TSP confirms that even if Highway 99W is widened to 7 lanes it will operate at level of service F in the future.Therefore we believe that the proposed turn lanes in the existing TSP improvements should be maintained to assure that the 5 lane section would handle future needs of the region.

By incorporating the plan recommendations for Alternative B the City and State will be better positioned to work together to obtain funding for the list of identified improvement projects that will improve the highway corridor for all travel modes. Development and adoption of the recommendations in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan is commendable. The plan seeks to balance the needs of all users of the system, adjoining property owners with limited funding for transportation. Instead of focusing primarily on adding system capacity, the plan recommendations focus on increasing safety through access management, strategic intersection improvements to address turning movements, providing transit queue bypass lanes to provide for more efficient transit, enhancing pedestrian/bicycle facilities and managing the system through signal timing coordination. The plan calls for retaining the four/five lanes on 99W instead of widening 99W to seven lanes as currently identified in the City's.Transportation System Plan and the Regional Transportation Plan. Staff recommends in Part 4 that the five lanes be defined as "through lanes" which is necessary to "provide the flexibility for construction of auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, turn lanes, or access management. Furthermore, although the committee recommended a five-lane maximum, staff recommends that some seven lane intersection configurations may be needed for function, ingress/egress spacing, and access management." ODOT supports the staff recommendation for retaining the four/five lanes on 99W while allowing flexibility. However, there may be instances where an additional through lane is needed to connect between two intersections which would not meet the "auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity" language. Based on the proposed wording, the flexibility to adding additional lanes could be interpreted to be limited to intersections. Recommend further clarification to retain flexibility. ; CPA2008-00011, Tigard 99W TSIncorporation; • • ODOT RESPONSE 2 In Appendix A page 4, the plan discusses pedestrian enhancements and identifies potential new crossing locations in Figure 1. As discussed in the plan, the speeds, traffic volumes and crossing widths on 99W makes identifying safe crossing treatments for pedestrians limited. The ability to meet pedestrian signalization warrants as crossing treatments is difficult on this stretch of 99W. The plan indicates that an engineering study will be required for proposed unsignalized crossings. The proposed amendments for Table 5-2 Potential Pedestrian Projects, recommends projects to add pedestrian activated signalized crossing at SW 71st Ave and SW Watkins Ave on 99W. ODOT recommends that the plan allow for flexibility to do an engineering study to determine what the most appropriate pedestrian crossing enhancements are for each of these locations. If the access management plan identifies medians to be installed at these locations, this might be an opportunity to explore how to best accommodate pedestrian crossing at the each crossing location. Median islands could provide a refuge for pedestrians but would preclude the signalized pedestrian crossing option. Instead of specifying the crossing projects as "Pedestrian Activated Signalized Crossing", we recommend the projects be identified as "Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements" with asterisk stating "requires approval from the State Traffic Engineer". ODOT looks forward to continuing to work collaboratively with the City of Tigard to implement the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan.

ATTACHMENT 3 X� � ph City of Tigard f t Memorandum To: Tigard Planning Commission From: Darren Wyss, Senior Planner Re: CPA2008-00011Public Hearing Date: March 30, 2009 At its April 6, 2009 meeting, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider CPA2008-00011. The Commission previously held a workshop on March 2,2009 to discuss the proposed amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and Tigard Comprehensive Plan, which originate from the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan.The purpose of this memo is to 1. Address three language changes the Commission requested at the workshop; 2. Address comments received after the workshop from ODOT and Beaverton; and 3. Provide a summary recommendation and potential motion for the Commission. Planning Commission Requested change #1 . Part 3 of the proposed amendment will update the list of recommended action measures (a total of 10 additions) found in Section 1 of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Transportation Chapter. The proposed amendment language was recommended by the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The requested changes were limited to two of the recommended action measures and are as follows: 27. The City shall adopt Alternative B as contained in the Tigard 99W Plan as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall,in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. Commission reasoning—to clarify what/where Alternative B is. 33. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use,and other improvements. In addition,staff resources shall be Feted used to coordinate business development and retention activities,and aid in communication among the business community and city government. MEMO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 1 OF 4 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • Commission reasoning—throughout the update of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Commission and City Council tried to avoid language that committed City staff or resources to programs or projects as the Comp Plan is policy focused. This requested change was to maintain consistency with the rest of the Comp Plan language. Requested change #2 The Commission requested that any reference to the 5-lanes of Highway 99W as through lanes be removed. Staff has removed the reference throughout the proposed amendments. Most references were associated with the asterisk language in Part 1 of the proposed amendment. Part 4 of the proposed amendment also made reference to through lanes and this has been removed. Commission reasoning—the reference to a 5-lane Highway 99W would include the middle, or turn, lane which is not truly a "through" lane. Removing this language eliminates the possibility for confusion. Requested change #3 The Commission debated whether the addition of the language in proposed amendments 8, 9, 23, and 24 was appropriate. The proposed amendments would add two pedestrian activated signal crossings to the Other Potential Projects list. The Commission was concerned about the impact to traffic flow from adding additional traffic signals to the Highway 99W corridor. The Commission discussed various other solutions that could make the two particular intersections more pedestrian- friendly and asked staff to look into the feasibility of these projects and alternative language that would be more flexible. Staff comment - The recommended pedestrian activated signal crossings were included to improve pedestrian connections at the two most feasible locations along the corridor at this point in time. The Regional Transportation Plan calls for full street connections no more than 530 feet apart to provide accessibility and connectivity for all modes of travel.

ODOT staff believes the projects are important pedestrian connections, but recommends changing the proposed amendment language (see below) to provide project flexibility. M Pedestrian 'Highway 99W at SW 71st Avenue Activated Signalized-Crossing Enhancements* M Pedestrian Highway 99W at SW Watkins Avenue Activated Signalized Crossing Enhancements* *Requires approval from State Traffic Engineer The Planning Commission may wish to consider using ODOT's recommended language change (also included in Exhibit A) or use a number of other alternatives in lieu of removing the project language completely: • Pedestrian Crossing Amenities • Pedestrian-specific Crossing • Pedestrian Crossing Infrastructure • Crosswalk • Pedestrian Crossing Project ODOT Comments (Staff Report Exhibit D) ODOT pointed out instances where an additional lane may be needed between intersections, essentially creating a sixth lane for short distances. Such a circumstance would not meet the asterisk language of"auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity" and recommended further clarification to retain flexibility. Staff comment- In a case where an auxiliary lane may need to be continuous between two intersections, to provide flexibility the Commission may wish to consider including the word function to the asterisk language below TSP figures to read: 'Highway 99W may include auxiliary lanes for additional intersection capacity, function, turn lanes, or access management at key locations, such as major intersections, where traffic flow and/or capacity would otherwise be constrained. For locations within 600 feet of any signalitied intersection or freeway interchange, staff will determine, based on accepted engineering practices, the cross-section and auxiliay lanes that will be necessary to serve that intersection." MEMO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2008-00011 TIGARD 99W IMPROVEMENT PAGE 3 OF 4 AND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS • • City of Beaverton Comments (Staff Report Exhibit C) Recommended the deleted turn lanes in proposed amendment 21 (Table 8-8 changes) should be maintained in the TSP improvements to assure the 5-lane section would handle future needs of the region. Staff comment-maintaining the flexibility within the TSP to use auxiliary turn lanes at intersections is a benefit to the community and the function of Highway 99W. After review, the Engineering Division agrees with the Beaverton comments. Circumstances have changed,mainly the design of the Hall and Greenburg intersection improvement projects, since the Tigard 99W Plan was completed. Many of the intersection improvements slated to be removed from the TSP list may need to be constructed to ensure the Hall and Greenburg improvements function at their full potential. The Engineering Division identified the projects that were originally recommended for removal, but should remain in the TSP to provide flexibility (see list below). The language in Exhibit A was adjusted accordingly. The projects will again be reevaluated during the complete update of the TSP this year.

APPROVE MEETING MINUTES • 2-23-09 Meeting Minutes: [Due to the short amount of time between meetings,'the 2/23/09 meeting minutes will be up for consideration at the next meeting (March 16).] 5. WORK SESSION CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) Ron Bunch, Community Development Director, introduced City staff member, Carissa Collins, Senior Management Analyst. He said this presentation is the introduction to the FY2009-2010 Capital Improvement Plan and if there were any questions the commissioners had that staff was unable to answer immediately, staff would get back to them. He said if any questions were to come up between now and April 20Th, that the commissioners would please forward them to staff and they would then be forwarded on to Council and the Budget Committee. He stated if they wished to collectively deliberate the CIP as a body and consider it more before April 20th, staff would be glad to schedule that in. Collins stated that • she was present to ask for Planning Commission input to the Budget'Committee regarding this 5 year Plan. She noted the fundingis $61.9 million with $23.3 funded in 09-10. She said that it is broken up into different systems: the Street system, Park system, Facilities, Downtown, Storms, and Sanitary Sewer. She went over the basic highlights of each system some of which are: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—March 2,2009—Page 1 of 5 • 411, Burnham and Ash = $10.2 million - fully funded. PMMP [Pavement Major Maintenance Program] = $5.4 million funded over the 5 year period. She noted that's about $500,000/year and that presently there's an outreach for public input on how to determine the kind of street maintenance program we want to have. Sanitary Sewer & Storm projects are fully funded. Downtown projects are funded with grants, park SDC's, gas tax, and TIF [Tax Increment Financing] revenue. She said that so far as the Facilities System goes — the Facilities Master Plan is completed. The two primary projects are the new Police facility (about $12 million total), and the new Public Works facility (about 514 million). SOME QUESTIONS & COMMENTS BY COMMISSIONERS What impact will the[government] "Stimulus Package"have? Ron Bunch, Community Development Director answered: As we understand, the stimulus monies will be coming essentially in three successive waves. The first is transportation funding that will come to the state. The Metro portion of that is $30 million or so. Of that, Tigard is in line to get about 1.2 million dollars. Those monies are designated for street reconstruction or pavement management projects. Three of the projects are Bonita, 72nd, and Durham Road. Second and third rounds of stimulus will include projects that aren't quite on the line as of yet but include things such as parks, further transportation projects, water, sewer, storm drains- the kinds of things that may take a little longer to prepare. The third round, which is anticipated to come several months from now,will also include those projects that aren't really "shovel ready" and need more time to be prepared. Gus Duenas, City Engineer, spoke a bit further about the money coming through. He said what they did to get the projects out into a category in which not much red tape is involved is to do 2" overlays. He said they have to pick streets in pretty good condition. Durham from Hall Blvd to Upper-Boones is one big candidate - 72nd Ave and Bonita Road. He spoke a bit further about the process of receiving the stimulus funds. What is the process for prioritizing City projects in general? For street projects - what we primarily do is look at what Council goals are and what the Council mandate is. Right now it's Burnham St. and Ash St. — so that is the primary goal for now. Community Development, as a whole, will prioritize based on what Council goals are. What's being done about jaywalking near Tigard High School? Based on how long it takes to get the materials manufactured & delivered, we're looking to get a crosswalk in place by May of this year. There were some other questions regarding parks, streams,bridges, and trail repair. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES-March 2,2009-Page 2 of 5 • I 6. WORK SESSION HIGHWAY 99W PLAN CPA2008-00011 Darren Wyss; Senior Planner, gave his presentation on behalf of the City. He stated that the purpose of the meeting was to become familiar with the proposed amendments to Tigard's Transportation System Plan (TSP) and the Comprehensive Plan (found in attachment 1 of the Planning Commission packet). The proposed amendments would incorporate recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Plan and those made by the project's Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). The proposed amendments are divided into four components: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; (Found in Appendix C) 2. Incorporate the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard Transportation System Plan to serve as findings; 3. Update the recommended action measures for Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation to include language recommended by the Tigard 99W Plan CAC; and 4. Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended 5 through lanes for Highway 99W. (Staff recommended for consistency with TSP amendments.) Wyss spent a few minutes reviewing the formulation of the Tigard 99W Plan and gave some background as to how the proposed amendments were developed. He said the development of the Tigard 99W Plan was funded by a Transportation Group Management (TGM) grant to evaluate the potential solutions to traffic congestion on Hwy 99W through Tigard. The intention of the project was to develop concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and additional interventions to meet future needs in the Tigard 99W corridor. The development of the plan involved the traditional process of: a) Inventorying of existing conditions; b) Analyzing needs, opportunities, and constraints; c) Developing alternative improvement concepts; and d) Comparing and evaluating alternative concepts. The primary focus of these alternatives was to identify projects aimed at alleviating congestion and also improving circulation along Hwy 99W through Tigard. The planning process ended up evaluating three alternatives: A. Partial widening of Hwy 99\V through Tigard; • B. Access management strategies in Tigard; and C. Widening of Hwy 99W to 7 lanes through Tigard. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—March 2,2009—Page 3 of 5 • • • In the end, Alternative B, which was the access management strategy, was chosen as the preferred alternative, as it best met the project objectives and criteria while carrying the fewest negative impacts to businesses in the community.Alternative B proposed that all transportation modes be enhanced though a series of projects over the long term, including medians, access management, intersection improvements,parallel roadway connections, and other off-highway improvements. This is based on maintaining a 5-lane cross section for Hwy 99W through Tigard. Wyss noted it's important to keep in mind that choosing Alternative B was not done in a vacuum. Both public involvement and interagency coordination factored into choosing the preferred alternative. The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC), Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), City staff, and the public all agreed that Alternative B was the best solution. ODOT, TriMet, Portland, and all other partner agencies endorsed the preferred alternative. The proposed amendments found in CPA2008-00011 were developed as a result of Alternative B being chosen during the process. In addition to the recommendation found in the Plan, the CAC developed a list of its own recommendations that they wanted forwarded to Council. These recommendations are proposed as Recommended Action Measures to be added to the Comp Plan transportation chapter. The Tigard 99W Plan was completed in June 2007. In November 2007 Council directed staff to prepare amendments to implement the Tigard 99W Plan. That is the reason this portion of the meeting was scheduled. COMMENTS & QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS • I'm not sold that-Alternative B is the best. I'm skeptical. • Were the recommendations and changes made in this document based on Alternative B - the different language? Yes, it was. • To what extent has anyone considered tolling Hwy 99 where it enters and exits Tigard on either end? That's one way to fund it and keep the traffic zc down. I don't think that's going to fly. • Has it[a toll]been considered? Talked about? Vetted? It seems to me that given the very difficult issues we're facing and the fact that Tigard is more greatly impacted by 99W than any other community, that no discussion about what we're going to do with that road ought to go forward without having at least some kind of conversation about what the fiscal impacts[of a toll]are, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—March 2,2009—Page 4 of 5 • • • and what the impacts are, on the volume of traffic. So there's my speech on the tolling issue. • I think what we're supposed to be doing tonight is do we have any questions or input on what's been added to the Comp Plan for transportation based on Alternative B. Are we not going to have that conversation because we're talking about something else? President Inman answered—we veered off topic a bit because I wanted to allow Commissioner Vermilyea to have his say on something he feels passionate about. There were further general questions including.where a rail might be located along Hwy 99W. There was a suggestion that a "reversible lane" could possibly be put on Hwy 99\V. At this point, the Commissioners went through the document (Land Use Application Narrative (proposed amendments) at length, and made various recommendations, which staff took note of. 7.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2008-00011 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: Tigard Transportation Plan and Comprehensive Plan Amendments to Incorporate Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan Recommendations PUBLIC HEARING OPENED Darren Wyss, Senior Planner, presented the staff report on behalf of the City. [Staff reports are available for public review at the City one week prior to public hearings.] Wyss said the Planning Commission was being asked to make a recommendation to City Council on CPA2008-00011, which will amend the Tigard TSP and Comp Plan. He noted the Commission previously held a workshop on the proposed amendment on March 2, 2009. He said the proposed amendments will incorporate recommendations found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan and those made by the project's Citizen Advisory Committee [CAC]. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 2 of 9 • • Wyss highlighted a few components of the process: • Intended to develop concept-level recommendations for transportation improvements and additional interventions to meet future needs in the corridor. • The primary focus was to identify potential projects aimed at alleviating congestion and improving circulation. • The planning process ended up evaluating three alternatives • A—partial widening of 99W thru Tigard • B —access management strategy in Tigard • C —Widening of 99W to 7 lanes thru Tigard Wyss noted that in the end,Alternative B was chosen as the preferred alternative as it best met the project objectives and criteria while carrying the fewest negative impacts.

In addition to the recommendation found in the Plan, the CAC developed a list of its own recommendations to Council which are included as proposed Recommended Action Measures to be added to the Comp Plan transportation chapter. He said the proposed amendments are divided into the following four components: 1. Update the Tigard Transportation System Plan to include recommended changes found in the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2.

Amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.A (under Goal 12.2) to reflect recommended through lanes for Highway 99W. (Staff recommended for consistency with TSP amendments.) Wyss noted a few minor changes had been made to the proposed amendments since the PC workshop on March 2, 2009. These changes were based on two things: • PC feedback at the workshop • Comments sent in by ODOT and Beaverton At this point Wyss went over a PowerPoint presentation. (Exhibit A) QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS Is `function"defined? We can do that. PUBLIC TESTIMONY IN FAVOR—No one signed up to speak in favor. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES-April 6,2009-Page 3 of 9 S • PUBLIC TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION—No one signed up to speak in opposition. President Inman asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on this. Sue Beilke; 11755 SW 114th Place,Tigard, had a couple of questions regarding changes Wyss had made to table 11-4 and 11-5—which he answered to her satisfaction. PUBLIC TESTIMONY CLOSED DELIBERATIONS/MOTION After a short deliberation,-there was a motion by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Commissioner Caffall: "I move the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council of application CPA2008-00011 and recommend the City Council adopt the amendments to the Tigard Transportation System Plan and Tigatd Comprehensive Plan as found in Exhibit A [of staff report]."

He said he would. President Inman noted this will go to Council's 6/23/09 Business Meeting. 5.2 PUBLIC HEARING (Continued from 2-23-09) DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT (DCA) 2008-00005 - SENSITIVE LANDS PERMIT REQUIREMENTS - On behalf of the City, Gary Pagenstecher,Associate Planner, handed out a revised memo (Exhibit B) with the changes in red. He said they offer a refinement in staff recommendation Option 3.c [3.c states: "Pedestrian/bicycle pathways within the floodplain shall include a wildlife assessment to ensure that the proposed alignment minimizes impacts to significant wildlife habitat."] He said there were some comments [from Brian Wegener&John Frewing] at the back of that memo as well as a memo from Public PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 4 of 9 • • Works, Steve Martin [Parks & Facilities Manager]. Pagenstecher went over the memo which, he said, reflects the input he'd received. Pagenstecher said there were basically two issues: 1) the elevation criteria; and 2) the wildlife habitat issue. The revised recommendation gets rid of the elevation criteria altogether and instead requires a wildlife assessment for pathways within the floodplain. Briefly, the elevation criteria were originally designed for structure, protection, and maintenance. He said the Public Works memo spoke to that advising him that it simply wasn't an issue. Adding a criterion for wildlife is recommended for trails in the flood plain. QUESTIONS BY COMMISSIONERS There was a general question about the difference between bike and pedestrian impacts. PUBLIC TESTIMONY— IN FAVOR—No one was signed up to speak in favor. PUBLIC TESTIMONY— IN OPPOSITION— John Frewing, 7110 SW.Lola Lane, Tigard, OR spoke in opposition. He went over his written submitted comments at the back of the packet (back of Exhibit B). With regard to 3.c he said there were several things that caused him concern. He'd like to see 3.c changed to say "pedestrian or bicycle pathways which are either replaced, new, or modified from this date forward, shall include this wildlife assessment." Secondly, he asked `what is a wildlife assessment?" He said he can do a wildlife assessment in about 1 second. Someone else may take more time because it involves fish, or birds, or frogs, or whatever — are there standards that we can reference in that regard? He said he doesn't know. "Thirdly, you've used the word "significant wildlife habitat" that in our [Tigard] code — there's a map of significant wildlife habitat adopted for Goal 5 and I presume that's what you mean, but it doesn't say that here." He went on to say that"CWS right now has a waiver for existing roads and trails in these low lying areas and so anything that exists that you're going to modify, repave, or replace escapes through that provision of CWS. And I don't want it to escape. I want it to have the wildlife assessment." Pagenstecher answered that any trail would go through a design development process and where trails are, for instance, modified for width,you would expect to have an assessment because they would be "new" trails and would be subject to the criterion for pathways in a floodplain. Frewing said that was comforting to him. He then asked about the standard for wildlife assessment. Pagenstecher said there is no criterion for wildlife assessment at this time. It's not in the code and not proposed here. There are standards for it. There are wildlife assessments —they are ordered for a purpose. Secondly, Frewing asked whether wildlife assessment would be done at one point in time, or done over several important seasons. Pagenstecher said wildlife assessments indicate time of year done and try to accommodate for that. Frewing said seasonal differences should be picked up in a wildlife assessment. Did you say that would be picked up? Pagenstecher said yes, I think that would PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTFS—April 6,2009—Page 5 of 9 • • • • be picked up. Frewing: Lastly, does "significant wildlife habitat" correspond to the city's map? Pagenstecher:What we're talking about here is a criterion that applies specifically to floodplains in the City of Tigard. Floodplains correlate with the highest height and limit value on the habitat map. Frewing: Okay— so it refers to the map. Pagenstecher: Yes. Erik Lindstrom, 6801 SW Canyon Crest Drive, Portland 97225 spoke in opposition— He thanked Gary for meeting with them on Friday and answering many of his concerns. He said he'd studied the watershed very intently for two years as part of writing a book about Fanno Creek. He spoke about management of ecosystem services and wildlife habitat within the City limits. He said he was concerned about the process itself. He doesn't like the idea of modifying code to meet the plan. He's not convinced the details are there that the certain damage that will occur to the watershed as a result of this is mitigated and offset by other activities. There were no questions from staff. Sue Beilke, 11755 SW 114th Place, Tigard spoke in opposition. She handed out her comments in written form and went over them (Exhibit C). There were no questions from staff. Brian Wegener, 12360 SW Main Street, Suite 100,Tigard, OR of the Tualatin Riverkeepers hadn't signed up,but spoke in opposition. He said he's concerned about bicycle road kills in these sensitive areas. He'd seen some of them. He's also concerned about trail washouts. Impacts should be minimized. He thinks the wildlife assessment should be defined. He's hoping this will be a "win-win" situation. He likes trails and access to nature but wants to make sure we are not taking away that nature by putting those trails in. QUESTIONS FROM STAFF: What do you believe is the solution? The solution could be perhaps putting trails going through wet areas up on pilings. In a slope situation— there are a. lot of different choices. Reduce impervious areas that are causing stormwater run-off- that's very important to areas close to the streams. QUESTIONS OF STAFF Did ODF&W further comment? No. Pagenstecher said he called to follow up on their first comment. He said the comment was global in that when there's a limited resource— generally speaking, the policy is—protect it whenever you can. He said that's consistent with their mission. • PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUITS—April 6,2009—Pagc 6 of 9 Is there the possibility of the y looking at what sort of surface— what the trail's going to be made out of-- before a trail is put in a floodplain?Is there any possibiliy in this code to go through and have that as part of the criteria? There are opportunities to introduce and apply green [environmentally friendly] trail criterion in the design development of any trail segment that the City may undertake. PUBLIC TESTIMONY CLOSED DELIBERATIONS President Inman said a floodplain is not necessarily a natural resource area so, potentially,we could be requiring wildlife assessments for a parking lot. She believes this is above and beyond other standards that are currently out there, and potentially onerous. She said she leans towards faith in CWS and other regulations as far as protecting resources and buffers — there's a dedicated public who will follow the development of the plan and will give input with regard to paths. That being said, she's not opposed to adding a wildlife assessment. The commissioners deliberated at length. MOTION After deliberations, there was a motion by Commissioner Muldoon, seconded by Commissioner Hasman: "I move we adopt DCA2008-00005 Sensitive Lands Permit Requirement, selecting Option 3.c as amended April 6, 2009." The motion passed on a recorded vote - the Commissioners voted as follows: AYES: Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Caffall, Commissioner Doherty, Commissioner Hasman, Commissioner Inman, and Commissioner Muldoon (5) NAYS: Commissioner Walsh (1) ABSTAINERS: None (0) ABSENT: Commissioners Fishel and Vermilyea (2) PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED President Inman noted this will go to the 5/12/09 Council Business Meeting. 6. URBAN FORESTRY MASTERPLAN City Arborist,Todd Prager, said the slide presentation he was about to present highlights the packet that was distributed to the commissioners earlier. He encouraged them to review the PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES—April 6,2009—Page 7 of 9 • packet over the coming months to become familiar with the data that's been collected thus far for the Urban Forestry Master Plan. At this point he went over his slide presentation as an update of the Master Plan (Exhibit D). QUESTIONS FOR STAFF Why has the tree canopy decreased? Dick Bewersdorff,Planning Manager, answered, "There'd been more development in those years than we've ever had in Tigard." Prager added, "The fragmentation where the larger groves were being replaced with smaller individual plantings may indicate that the mitigation is helping to restore canopy in these residential zones." There were a few other questions and then the commissioners thanked Prager for a presentation they said was well done. 7. OTHER BUSINESS — Joint Meeting on April 21st—Tuesday—ideas for topics: The commissioners talked about some of the topics they may wish to discuss at that meeting. The consensus was that their main topic would be that of communication between the Council and the Commission; specifically,if Council chooses to over-ride one of their recommendations.They wondered what the plan is to communicate Council's reasoning as to why they.disagree. Minutes: Planning Commission Bylaws -Article IV Section 12.E There was a decision to change the way the Commission considers/approves minutes. It was decided that,in light of the heretofore overlooked portion of the bylaws (below),in the future they would approve them differently than in the past. Article IV Section 12.E of the Planning Commission bylaws states: "Commissioners are expected to vote for approval of the minutes based on the accuracy of representation of events at the meeting.If there are no corrections, the President may declare the minutes approved as presented, without the need for a motion and vote. A vote in favor of adopting minutes does not signify agreement or disagreement with the Commission's actions memorialized in the minutes." So, if after asking if there are any corrections and, there being none,the President may declare the minutes "approved as presented"without the need for a motion and vote.

Community Development Director RE: CPA2008-00011 DATE: October 14, 2008 A. It is proposed to amend the City of Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP) by: 1. Incorporating the appended recommendations of the 2007 Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan; 2. Incorporating by reference the findings of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan by reference into the Tigard TSP, and 3. Making other conforming text changes to the TSP to ensure its overall consistency with 2007 Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan. B. It is proposed to amend the City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan Transportation Chapter by: 1. Adding new policy and or action measures per the appended recommendations of the 99W Citizen Advisory Committee. This proposal originated from completion of a Transportation and Growth Management Grant (TGM) jointly conducted by the City of Tigard and the Oregon Dept. of Transportation (ODOT) in coordination with other area agencies and jurisdictions. The City of Tigard and ODOT's desire is to advance the recommendations of the 2007 Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan and this requires amendment of the Tigard TSP and the City's Comprehensive Plan (Goal 12) Transportation Chapter. The proposed amendments are contained in Appendix C of the Tigard 99W Improvement and Management Plan Final Report. The amendments are found on pages 77-81. The Report is provided in hard copy to the Department of Land Conservation and Development as an attachment to the Notice of Proposed Amendment application and can be found on the City of Tigard's website: http://www.tigard- or.gov/city hall/departments/cd/capital construction/hwy 99/docs/final report.pdf Attachment 1 contains Citizen Advisory Committee recommendations which the Committee desired to be incorporated into the City of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan Goal 12 Transportation Section as part of this process. ATTACHMENT 1 • Proposed 99W Citizen Advisory Committee Recommendations 1. Prior to implementation of projects associated with the Highway 99W Corridor Plan, especially those requiring additional right-of-way or affecting property access, there shall be established protocols whereby affected property owners or businesses are made aware of pending improvements. Those that might be affected shall be informed and asked to be involved in the project development process as early as possible. 2. The City of Tigard shall state a position that alignment of the proposed I-5 / Hwy 99W Connector be established as one which reduces through traffic and freight movement on Highway 99W to the greatest extent possible; and that the City shall support this position and otherwise participate in the project as an active member of the I-5 / 99W Connector Steering Committee. 3. As part of the transportation management, planning and design process, the livability benefits of future Highway 99W improvements shall be publicly discussed and evaluated. 4. The City shall adopt Alternative B as part of its Transportation System Plan and prioritize its recommendations. Subsequently, the City shall,in conjunction with other agencies,jurisdictions, and stakeholders, develop action plans to implement the alternative's specific project recommendations. Action plans to implement Alternative B shall include design and engineering strategies, funding measures, and stakeholder and citizen engagement. Reasonable time frames shall be associated with the action plans. 5. Other transportation and land development projects within the vicinity of Highway 99W shall be evaluated to determine potential negative or positive impacts on the facility. Negative impacts shall be avoided or mitigated. Furthermore, it is important that solutions to Highway 99W problems be evaluated to assess impacts on other streets, and that negative impacts in these circumstances are avoided or mitigated and positive impacts promoted. 6. A land use planning effort shall be a priority for future City / state efforts to recreate the Highway 99W corridor. In particular, coordinated land use and transportation planning is essential to promote transit as a viable transportation option. 7. The City should be imaginative and "think outside the box" with the purpose of creating a safe, attractive, transit oriented, and vibrant urban corridor along Highway 99W. When there are obvious benefits to specific physical improvements, the City should request design exceptions from ODOT. 8. In the near term, the City and ODOT shall develop an Access Management Plan for Highway 99W. Each property identified as needing access management treatment shall be treated as unique. A one-size fits all approach should not be used. The economic vitality of businesses is important.

Implementing improved transit service should be an ongoing priority with the long- term objective of light rail service along the Highway 99W corridor. If light rail is not possible within the reasonable future, then improved bus service/rubber tired vehicles shall serve as an alternative until it is. 10. Highway 99W Action Plans shall seek to enhance the economic vitality of the corridor through transportation, aesthetic land use, and other improvements. In addition, staff resources shall be committed to coordinate business development and • retention activities, and aid in communication among the business community and city government. • • C:\Documents and Settings\markus\Local Settings\Temporary Internet files\Content.Outlook\79HU4VF9\5-13-08 Attachment 3 2 Council acceptance of Tigard 99W Improvement Plan Report.doc • • • AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING T I GARD • I, Doreen X Laughlin, being first duly sworn/affirm, on oath depose and say that I am an Administrative Specialist Ilfor the City of Tigarc4 Washington County, Oregon and that I served the following: (Check Appropriate Box(s)Below) © NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR:l CPA2008-0001 I — Comprehensive Plan Amendment ❑ AMENDED NOTICE (File No./Name Reference) HEARING BODY: HEARING DATE: ❑ City of Tigard Planning Director ❑ Tigard Hearings Officer ® Tigard Planning Commission April 6, 2009 @ 7:00 PM ❑ Tigard City Council A copy of the said notice being hereto attached, marked Exhibit"A",and by reference made a part hereof, was mailed to each named person(s) at the address(s) shown on the attached list(s), marked Exhibit'B",and by,reference made a part hereof, on March 19,2009,and deposited in the United States Mail on March 19,2009, postage prepaid. � � I (Person that Prepared Notice) STATE OF OECGON ) County of Washington )ss.
