STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approving the requested Zone Ordinance Amendment as amended by motion of the City of Tigard Planning Commission. Staff agrees with the Commission that the allowance for an additional 4"x24" rider sign is not necessary with the 24 square foot total allowance of temporary signage. The Council should decide whether a size limit such as 4 square feet per face is appropriate as recommended by the Commission or to allow a sign of up to 24 square feet as proposed by the applicant. INFORMATION SUMMARY The applicant, Heather Adams, filed an application to amend the sign code on October 27, 2003 to address issues she has faced trying to advertise homes for sale in Tigard. The City's sign ordinance currently prohibits A-Frame signs (signs that fold in the middle, typically have signage on both faces, and are freestanding in an "A" shape configuration) in residential zones. City staff has actively enforced this provision, either contacting the sign owner to alert them that the sign needed to be removed, impounding the sign, or issuing citations in certain cases where repeat offenses have occurred. Area real estate agents have commented that the use of A-frame signage to advertise open houses, and provide directional information is common industry practice. The City allows the use of"lawn signs", exclusive of A- frame signs in residential zones, although these lawn signs are limited to a total of 12 square feet in size in some residential zones and 24 square feet in others, and must be posted on a single stake. In summary, the applicant's amendments accomplish the following objectives: • Reclassifies "A-frames" as a type of"lawn sign"by defining lawn signs as "temporary signs placed on private property supported by one stick, post, rod, or A-frame in or on the ground." • Allows all lawn signs in residential zones exempt from permit and fee. • Makes a consistent allowance of temporary signage between medium and high density residential zones (presently 24 square feet) and low density residential zones (presently 12 square feet). • Creates a provision for an additional 4"x24"rider sign beyond the 24 square feet. • Places size limitations on A-frames of 6 square feet per face. No size limitation to other types of temporary signs was proposed. • • • Requires that A-frames be placed tin private property, out of the right of way, and not obstructing vision clearance areas at intersections and driveways. The Planning Commission received testimony at their January 5, 2004 meeting and deliberated the proposed changes. Subsequently, the Commission modified the applicant's proposal by limiting the size of not only A- frames, but all lawn signs to a maximum size of 4 square feet per face. Also, the Commission found that the 24 total square foot allowance for temporary signs on a single property was sufficient area to not necessitate additional area for a rider sign. Therefore, conceptually a residential property would be allowed to have a 4- square foot double-faced sign on a post, an A-frame with 4 square feet of signage on each side, and two 4- square foot single-faced signs on stakes to reach a total of 24 square feet. Attached as "Attachment 1" is the ordinance adopting the proposal. The Planning Commission recommendation and draft meeting minutes are attached as"Attachment 2". OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Deny the request or approve it with revisions. VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY 1.

LOCATION: Residential Zones. ZONE: N/A. • APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Statewide Planning Goals 1 and 2; Comprehensive Plan Policies 1 and 2; and Community Development Code Chapters 18.380, 18.390 and 18.780. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -January 5,2004-Page l • • STAFF REPORT Associate Planner Morgan Tracy presented the staff report. He reported that this amendment has been proposed by a private citizen on behalf of several in the real estate profession. The issue at hand is that A-frames are prohibited forms of signage in residential zones. A-frames used to advertise open houses in other areas, (or sometimes even within Tigard, although they shouldn't have been there). This is a fairly common practice of real estate agents to direct potential clients and "Sunday drivers" to their showings. Staff has routinely impounded signs and cited people who place A-frames in residential zones (more often though, this has been the result of those signs being placed in the right-of-way). To address the needs of real estate agents, the applicant met with staff to develop some preliminary text revisions. Staff suggested that certain limitations be added to protect neighborhoods from sign accumulation and clutter. The proposed amendment language is the result of that collaboration. Staff has since discovered that due to the construction of the sign code and the manner in which one of the definitions is written, A-frame signs would have no longer been allowed in commercial zones. A revision is suggested to change the definition of Lawn Sign: c. Lawn Sign - temporary signs placed on private property supported by one stick, post, rod, or A-frame in or on the ground. A lawn freestanding sign in residential zones which is exempt from sign permit requirements provided the size requirements in Subsection 18.780.0601B2.1 can be met. A lawn sign in commercial or industrial zones is subject to temporary permit requirements as provided for in Subsection 18.780.100. _ This resolves the issue with allowing A-frames in commercial zones, however, there remains a disparity between the two zoning classifications in that commercial zoned properties are required to obtain a $15 permit good for 30 days to place their signs, while residentially zoned properties do not. Considering the amount of time most residential A-frames would be used (for garage sales, estate sales, open houses) staff feels that a permitting process for these signs would be burdensome to property owners and staff alike. - The City's code enforcement officer notes that the majority of sign enforcement • is due to placement of signs in the right-of-way, and that this amendment will not resolve those problems. Other issues, such as monitoring when signs are removed, may also be problematic, although it is acknowledged that this provision is intended to discourage signs from being left out for"extended" PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -January 5,2004-Page 2 • . • periods of time. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission amend the sign regulations as proposed by the applicant, with the change previously noted along with any other alterations as determined through the public hearing process and make a final recommendation to the Tigard City Council. Tracy advised that A-frames are generally allowed in most jurisdictions. He also advised that there are specific sign regulations with home occupation permits. APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION Heather Adams, 12655 SW North Dakota St., Tigard, OR 97223, testified that homeowners are upset that realtors cannot use A-frame signs in the City of Tigard and that she has received citations when she used the signs. She showed signs that the realtors are hoping will be approved. She stated the realtors,were not asking to put the signs in the right-of-way. - Martha Brooks, 5331 SW Macadam Ave., Suite 207, Portland, OR 97239, spoke on behalf of the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors. Her testimony is attached as Exhibit A. Commissioner Sutton asked about the importance of an A-frame sign as opposed to a sign on a stick. It was acknowledged that off-site directional signs are easier to place if they are A-frame signs. PUBLIC TESTIMONY — IN FAVOR Rob Blakely, 11645 SW Hazelwood Loop, Tigard, OR 97223, said he is embarrassed that Tigard has such a restrictive sign code and urged the Commission to approve the proposed amendments. Pat Savage, 16902 SW Steele Way, Beaverton, OR 97006, testified that she has had directional signs removed that were not in the right-of-way. She asked why signs couldn't be placed in the right-of-way if they weren't in anyone's way. Melvin Broadous, 7885 SW Fanno Creek Dr., Tigard, OR 97224, noted the difficulty in complying with regulations and still being able to do business. He encouraged the proposed changes to allow more signage area. Michael Curtis, 12549 SW Main St., Tigard, OR 97223, said this is an issue in every municipality. He reported that signage is best way to advertise. He believes at least 50% of his business comes from advertising with signs. Bill Barry, 7535 SW Greenwood Dr., Portland, OR 97223, asked the Commissioners if they had ever sold a home and, if so, did signs help in the sale. Mike Lavios, 2450 Glen Haven Rd., Lake Oswego, OR 97034, said other speakers had already addressed his issues. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -January 5,2004-Page 3 • Richard Boyce, 7800 SW Bond St., Tigard, OR 97224, spoke on behalf of the • Business Advocacy Committee to the Tigard area Chamber of Commerce. This issue has been discussed by their group several times. They are in support of this ordinance amendment. Commissioner Buehner noted that people have differing opinions about the number of signs (too many or not enough) in Tigard. • Jim Poison, 14400 SW McFarland Blvd., Tigard, OR 97224, said he would personally like to see directional signs disappear, but A-frames are essential to doing business. Bill Hester, 15962 SW Enna Ct., Tigard, OR 97224, complained about the Code Enforcement Officer. PUBLIC TESTIMONY — IN OPPOSITION None PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED After discussion, Commissioner Buehner moved to recommend to Council to amend all of the subsections related to application ZOA 2003-00002, to amend the code to provide that the sign code allow signage up to 24 square feet in. residential zones and specifically allowing A-frame signs (to delete them from the ban) and putting them under "Temporary Signs", but only on the property of the owner. There was no second to the motion. The motion failed due to a lack of a second. Commissioner Sutton moved that the Planning Commission recommend to Council that they approve the sign ordinance amendment, ZOA 2003-00002, as written, with the exception in section 18.780.060 that the total of 24 square feet include all signs, including the 4"x24" riders (strike the "plus one sign not to exceed 4 inches by 24 inches may additionally be attached to a lawn sign") and a further exception that instead of 6 square feet per face, that it be 4 square feet per face on any of the signs within that 24 square feet, to apply to all residential zones. There is no point in distinguishing between A-frames and stick signs; the maximum shall be 4 square feet per face on any of the signs, with a maximum of 24 square feet per property. Commissioner Haack seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of 4-2 with one abstention. 6.2 ZONE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT.(ZOA) 2003-00003 BILLBOARDS & FREESTANDING FREEWAY ORIENTED SIGNS CODE AMENDMENT REQUEST: To review and amend the Tigard Sign Code Chapter 18.780 to clarify language regarding "Billboards" and "Freestanding Freeway Oriented Signs," and to amend the language of Section 18.230.030 to make the definition of"Responsible Party" consistent with Tigard Municipal Code Section 18.740.020(A)(1-3).

STAFF REPORT Associate Planner Brad Kilby presented the staff report. He reported that in April 1993, the Tigard City Council agreed to prohibit billboard signs in the Tigard city limits, but in the course of writing code, there were some terms that were left vague. Earlier this year, two companies applied for building permits to construct billboards along Hwy. 217. The City denied the permits based on the size and heights of the signs. The companies filed appeals with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals. The City prevailed with the appeals, however, LUBA thought we needed to clarify our code. The proposed amendments will accomplish the following objectives: • Amend the definition of"Responsible party" in Section 18.230.030 to be consistent with the definition of"Responsible party" in the Tigard Municipal Code. • Amend the Purpose statement of the Tigard Development Code (TDC) Chapter 18.780 to delete the adoption of the Oregon Motorist Information Act (OMIA) by reference. • Amend the definition of"Billboard" to mean signs larger than the maximum size allowed. • Delete the term "Billboard structure." Delete the term "Public sign." • Require that OMIA permitted signs be reviewed by City of Tigard staff through a type I process. • Delete the requirement for a sign code exception by the Commission in order to allow freeway-oriented signs. • Delete the amortization clause for Billboards along Highway 99W with the amortization date of June 10, 1998. PUBLIC TESTIMONY None PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED After discussion, Commissioner Buehner, with regard to ZOA 2003-0003, moved that the Commission recommend to City Council approval of the proposed changes to the sign code amendment and section 18.280 as submitted, based on findings in the staff report and discussion held. Commissioner Caffall seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 7. GOAL 5 SITE SPECIFIC ESSE ANAYLSIS UPDATE/RECEIVE PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS This agenda item was cancelled.

I am Martha Brooks,vice president of Governmental Affairs for the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors®located at 5331 SW Macadam Avenue, Suite 207, Portland, Oregon 97239. In addition to serving in this capacity, I am also a Realtor®, with more than 16-years of experience,with an office in the Tigard Triangle. On behalf of the 5700 members of the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors, I urge your support of the Zone Ordinance Amendment(ZOA 2003-00002)to allow temporary a-frame signs in residential zones. The proposed amendments before you are the result of Realtors® sitting down with City Staff to find a way that will allow Realtors®to adequately market the citizen's of Tigard's homes without seriously compromising the appearance of the City. We appreciate being able to work with City Staff on drafting the amendments. Dick Bewersdorff and Morgan Tracy were easy to work with and accessible through out the process. They should be complemented The proposed amendments to the City's Development Code will facilitate active home sales to the benefit of the entire community. No one—the seller, the neighbors, or the police—want a home on the market or sitting vacant for an unnecessarily long period of time. A-frame signs properly direct prospective homebuyers to the homes for sale or rent and underscore a vibrant marketplace. Every day, individuals and families are buying and selling homes in Tigard. In 2002, Realtors® helped sell more than $286 million worth of property in the City. In 2003, Realtors®were part of transactions totaling more than $329 million. The benefit to the community of home sales is extensive. It is estimated that roughly 30-percent of the new home occupant's income is spent on items produced by local businesses, such as medical care, daycare, and services such as dry cleaning and auto repair(source: The Importance of America's Housing Sector to the Economy, David Lereah,National Association of Realtors®, Winter 2003). • 5331 SW Macadam Avenue,Suite 207 Portland, OR 97239 503.228.6595 REALTOR' Fax 503.228.4170 • • Portland Metropolitan Association_of Realtors® Before the City of Tigard Planning Commission January 5,2004 Page 2 Helping maintain the vitality of a city—a community—is what Realtors®do. Realtors®are business people who serve the community; assist the residents and tax payers of the city. We help people realize the American Dream of homeownership. One of the tools we use in our business is signs. We place signs on the property to communicate to potential buyers. We use signs to assist people in finding homes in this community that are for sale. Our clients ask us to use, and want us to use, signage to market their home. We fully support the proposed changes to the City's code that will increase the allowed square footage of sign and allow A-frame style signs on private property in residential zones. The increase in allowed square footage allows the home seller to convey a message as to the value of the home to the potential buyer. It can also let a potential buyer know when the house will be open for viewing. A-frame signs—simply a four-sided sign with a message on two sides—are an industry standard - which are easily recognized by the public as a communication tool used by Realtors®. A-frames are less intrusive to the environment in that they are not stuck into the ground where damage can be done to irrigation systems and vegetation.. A-frames are temporary in nature being put up and removed frequently. And, moved from location to location. It is not practical that they be a stick-sign. We agree that the hours of allowed use should be limited to 8:00 a.m.to 6 p.m. Real estate open houses, garage and estate sales, Christmas tree recycling and the like are events that do not extend into the evening hours. Thus there is no need for the a-frame sign to remain standing beyond 6 p.m. In conclusion, the members of the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors®ask you support of the sign code amendments before you and ask that you recommend to the City Council adoption of the changes. I appreciate your consideration of these comments and am available to answer any questions. Thank you. • 4 41,6'hmo-n-i 3 • Agenda Item: (o- Hearing Date: April 22,2002 Time: 7:30 PM STAFF REPORT TO+THE. 44+ PLANNINGt P01YRIIVIIS$I:ON O TraARD - Coiiiinunity:'Development. FOR'THECITY`F TIGARD O R E G O N Shag ng 43ette[Co nn:unity . SECTION I. APPLICATION SUMMARY CASE NAME: CODE AMENDMENT TO ALLOW THE PLACEMENT OF TEMPORARY A=FRAME SIGNS IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES. CASE NO.: Zone Ordinance Amendment(ZOA) ZOA2003-00002 PROPOSAL: . To amend the Sign requirements within the Tigard Development Code to allow the placement of temporary A-frame signs in Residential Zones. These signs would be exempt from permit requirements, but would still be subject to time, place, and size restrictions. APPLICANT: Heather Adams OWNER: N/A 12655 SW North Dakota Street Tigard, OR 97223 ZONE: N/A. LOCATION: Residential Zones. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Chapters 18.380 and 18.390; Comprehensive Plan Policies 1.1.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3; The Metro 2040 Plan; and Statewide Planning Goals 1 and 2. SECTION II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission `amend the Sign Regulations as proposed by the applicant, with any alterations as determined through the public hearing process and make a final recommendation to the.Tgard'City'Council ZOA2003-00002 - PAGE 1 OF 6 • • • • - SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The City's sign ordinance currently prohibits A-Frame signs (signs that fold in the middle, typically have signage on both faces, and are freestanding in an "A" shape configuration) in residential zones. City staff has actively enforced this provision, either contacting the sign owner to alert them that the sign needed to be removed, impounding the sign, or issuing citations in certain cases where repeat offenses have occurred. • . _ Area real estate agents have commented that the use of A-frame signage to advertise open houses, and provide directional information is common industry practice. The City allows the use of"lawn signs", exclusive of A frame signs in residential zones, although these signs are limited to a total of 12 square feet in size in some residential zones and 24 square feet in others, and must be posted on a single stake. SECTION IV. SUMMARY OF APPLICABLE CRITERIA Chapter 18.380 states that legislative text amendments shall be undertaken by means of a Type IV procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.060G. Chapter 18.390.060G states that the recommendation by the Commission and the decision by the Council shall be based on consideration of the following factors: • The Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines adopted under Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 197; Forty-five day advance notice was provided to DLCD on November 12, 2003, 54 days prior to the first scheduled public hearing as required. In addition, the Tigard Development Code and Comprehensive Plan have been acknowledged by DLCD. The following are the applicable Statewide Planning Goals that are applicable to this proposal: Statewide Planning Goal 1 — Citizen Involvement: This goal outlines the citizen involvement requirement for adoption of Comprehensive Plans and for changes to the Comprehensive Plan and implementing documents. This goal has been met by complying with the Tigard Development Code notice requirements set forth in Chapter 18.390. Notice has been published in the Tigard Times Newspaper prior to the public hearing. As the amendment is a legislative action that will expand the permissible uses of property (by allowing a sign not presently allowed), no direct notice was required by Ballot Measure 56. Two Public Hearings are held (one before the Planning Commission and the second before the City Council) in which public input is welcome. The City CIT members were also notified of the proposed changes. 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. The Development Code implements the Comprehensive Plan. The Development Code establishes a process for and policies to review changes to the Development Code consistent with Goal 2. The City's plan provides analysis and policies with which to evaluate a request for amending the Code consistent with. Goal 2. • Any applicable Metro regulations; There are no applicable Metro regulations from the Metro Code that affect local sign regulations. ZOA2003-00002 verc nc a i • Applicable Comprehensive Plan Policies: Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.1: This policy states that all future legislative changes shall be consistent with the Statewide Planning Goals and the Regional Plan adopted by Metro. As indicated above under the individual Statewide and Regional Plan goals applicable to this proposed amendment, the amendment is consistent with the Statewide Goals and the Regional Plan. Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.1: This policy states that the City shall maintain an ongoing citizen involvement program and shall assure that citizens will be provided an opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process. This policy is satisfied because notice of the proposed amendment was mailed to all Citizen Involvement Team (CIT) Members and the amendment was discussed. at a regular monthly Focus on Tigard meeting. In addition, notice was published in the Tigard Times of the Public Hearing and notice will be published again prior to -the City Council public hearing. Public input has been invited in the notice. Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.2 and 2.1.3: In pertinent part, this policy states that the Citizen Involvement Team program and the Citizen Involvement Team Facilitators shall serve as the primary means for citizen involvement in land use planning. Policy 2:1.3 states that..information on land use planning issues shall be available in understandable. form. These policies were satisfied because notice of the proposed amendment was mailed to all Citizen Involvement Team (CIT) Members and the amendment was discussed at a regular monthly CIT meeting. The written notices were written in plain understandable form, and included phone numbers and a contact person for anyone who may have questions. Any applicable provision of the City's implementing ordinances. Code Section 18.380: This section regulates amendments. It outlines the process for reviewing Development Code Text Amendments. The present amendment will be reviewed under the Type IV legislative procedure as set forth in the chapter. Code Section 18.390: This chapter establishes standard decision-making procedures for reviewing applications. The amendment under consideration will be reviewed under the Type IV legislative procedure as detailed in the chapter. Code Section 18.780: This chapter establishes procedures and criteria for erecting signage.within the City. The purpose of the sign regulations is: 1. To protect the health, safety, property and welfare of the public; 2. To promote the neat, clean, orderly and attractive appearance of the community; 3. To accommodate the need of sign users while avoiding nuisances to nearby properties; 4. To insure for safe construction, location, erection and maintenance of signs; 5. To prevent proliferation of signs and sign clutter; and 6. To minimize distractions for motorists on public highways and streets. ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 3 OF 6 • • . The proposed amendment includes provisions to ensure the continued protection of the public welfare and safety, limits the amount and duration of signage to reduce sign clutter and maintain an attractive appearance to the community, accommodates the need of sign users while avoiding nuisances by limiting signage to private property, insures the safe location of signs by requiring they be placed outside vision clearance areas, and minimizes the distractions to motorists by continuing to prohibit strings of pennants, banners or streamers, festoons of lights, clusters of flags, strings of twirlers or propellers, flashing or blinking lights, flares, balloons and similar devices of carnival character. Presently the code does not allow A-frames in residential zones. A-frames (presently termed A-board frame signs) are defined as a type of temporary sign: Temporary sign. means any sign, A-board frame, banner, lawn sign or balloon which is not permanently erected or permanently affixed to any sign structure, sign tower, the ground or a building (TDC18.780.015.52.). Temporary Signs, as defined above, are not allowed for single family and duplex buildings: Types and locations of temporary signs shall be as follows: 1. The total number of temporary signs shall not exceed one for any use at any one period of time; such signs are not permitted for single-family and - duplex dwellings; 2. The total area of a temporary sign shall not exceed 24 square feet and no more than 12 square feet per face; such signs are not permitted for single- family and duplex dwellings. The permitted area for a banner shall be no more than 24 square feet per face with the total sign area not to exceed 24 square feet;(TDC 18.780.100.C) ,However, there are allowances for exempting lawn signs: Exemptions from permit requirements. The following signs and operations shall not require a sign permit but shall conform to all other applicable regulations of . this chapter and the provisions of Subsection B below: - 1. Lawn signs which do not exceed the maximum allowable area on one premise regardless of the number of signs as follows: a. A total of 12 square feet in the R-1, R-2, R-3.5, R-4.5 and R-7 zones; • b.:A total of 24 square feet in the R-12, R-25 and R-40 zones. (TDC 18.780.060) But these exemptions currently do not provide for A-frame signs. The proposed code amendments modify the language in the aforementioned sections so that A-frames are considered a type of lawn sign, exempt from permit requirements but still subject to time, size, and location restrictions. Section 18.780.015 (52) is modified such that A-frames are classified as a type of lawn sign. Section 18.780.060 is changed to eliminate the distinction of allowed temporary sign sizes between low/medium density and medium/high density residential zones, so that all residential zoned properties may display a maximum of 24 square feet of signage. In addition a small extra sign is permissible to account for attachments to standard real estate lawn signs such as the realtor's name, a special home feature, or agent's phone number. To avoid the potential for very large A-frame signs (e.g. 4'x3' per side), a provision limiting these signs to 6 square feet per face (e.g. 2'X3') is proposed. - - - -ZOA2Q03-OOUO2- -- ------- -- - -- --- - -- --- ----- - --PAGE 4 OF_6 s . • Section 18.780.100 includes additional language provisions to clarify that lawn signs which are exempt from temporary permit requirements are not governed by the provisions affecting temporary signs that require permits. Also this section restates that lawn signs must be placed on private property, outside the right of way, and may not obstruct the vision clearance area. SECTION V. STAFF ANALYSIS - Restrictions on signage, especially within the residential zones, are an important aspect of promoting the peaceful enjoyment of a neighborhood. However, identification of properties that are for sale is also an important function to enable homeowners to effectively market their property, and provide prospective purchasers a way to locate open houses. The City needs to balance these competing purposes, and may do so through restrictions on place, time, and manner. The City may not regulate based on the content or intended message of the signs, so whatever restrictions or allowances are granted, they shall be content neutral. Staff met with the applicant during a pre-application conference on October 14, 2003 to discuss these issues and discuss possible changes to the code. The proposed code revisions address the applicant's concerns by classifying A-frame signs as a type of lawn . sign, allowable in residential zones exempt from permit requirements. To ensure the public welfare and safety is protected, limitations on the size (6 square feet per face), placement (on private property outside the vision clearance area), and duration (permissible only -- between 8AM And 6PM) of these signs were also included in the proposed amendments, as shown in Exhibit A, attached. While the proposed amendments have been proposed by the applicant to address needs of the realty companies, the City should consider other possible uses for these allowed signs including: ♦ Garage Sales ♦ Estate Sales • ♦ Political Campaigns • Off-site Commercial Advertising • General Advertising (e.g. "weight loss", "work from home", "got garbage?") Staff believes that the proposed amendment strikes the best balance of restriction while still allowing for real estate promotion. General and off site advertising is limited in time (signs are only permitted between the hours of 8AM and'6PM) and location (signs must be placed on private property, which would require consent of the property owner). Staff does not foresee a problem associated with garage and estate sale signs as these are for such limited duration (usually one weekend). Political signs are likewise restricted; however, it is more conceivable that property owners would allow such signage on their property and would take the signs in at night. A-frame signs are also not the traditional form for political signage, however, there is nothing provided in these amendments that would prevent such a sign. One additional issue to be aware of is that amendments to the Tigard city code do not apply to the unincorporated area of Bull Mountain until Washington County formally adopts these changes into the Intergovernmental Agreement. This will need to occur through a separate process under the direction of Washington County. For continuity and enforcement issues, the Planning Commission may wish to recommend that Council adopt a provision that any change to the code go into effect upon Washington County's enactment of the amendment. SECTION VI. OTHER ALTERNATIVES • No Action - The sign code would remain unchanged, and A-frame signage would continue.to ZOA2003-00002 PAC-1F 5 OF 6 • • be prohibited in residential zones. Expanded Action —Allow additional forms or size of signage, or extend their duration limits. Alternate Action — Impose requirements for permitting A-Frames, or add additional limitations (size, location, duration, etc.) on these types of signs. SECTION VII. ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF & OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS The City of Tigard Forester, Police Department, Building Division, Water Department, Long Range Planning Division, and Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue have all reviewed the proposal and have no objections to it. The City of Tigard Engineering Department, Tualatin Valley Water District, Clean Water Services, Metro, Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, Oregon Department of Transportation, Washington County Department of Land Use and Transportation, and all four Citizen Involvement Teams were notified of the proposed amendment and did not respond.

ADJOURNMENT Eladmlcathftca12004\040127p.doc • COUNCIL AGENDA — JANUARY 27, 2004 page 6 • • AGENDA ITEM# 9 FOR AGENDA OF January 27, 2004 CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE A-Frame Signs in Residential Zones-Code 'ff.ment(ZOA2003-00002) 1/144i PREPARED BY: Morgan Tracy DEPT HEAD OK �'/ //� Y MGR OK � ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Should the Council approve a requested Zone Ordinance Amendment to amend the Tigard Development Code Chapter 18.780 to allow A-frames in residential zones subject to size and placement limitations and increase the amount of temporary signage allowed in low and medium density residential zones? STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approving the requested Zone Ordinance Amendment as amended by motion of the City of Tigard Planning Commission. Staff agrees with the Commission that the allowance for an additional 4"x24" rider sign is not necessary with the 24 square foot total allowance of temporary signage. The Council should decide whether a size limit such as 4 square feet per face is appropriate as recommended by the Commission or to allow a sign of up to 24 square feet as proposed by the applicant. INFORMATION SUMMARY The applicant, Heather Adams, filed an application to amend the sign code on October 27, 2003 to address issues she has faced trying to advertise homes for sale in Tigard. The City's sign ordinance currently prohibits A-Frame signs (signs that fold in the middle, typically have signage on both faces, and are freestanding in an "A" shape configuration) in residential zones. City staff has actively enforced this provision, either contacting the sign owner to alert them that the sign needed to be removed, impounding the sign, or issuing citations in certain cases where repeat offenses have occurred. Area real estate agents have commented that the use of A-frame signage to advertise open houses, and provide directional information is common industry practice. The City allows the use of"lawn signs", exclusive of A- frame signs in residential zones, although these lawn signs are limited to a total of 12 square feet in size in some residential zones and 24 square feet in others, and must be posted on a single stake. In summary, the applicant's amendments accomplish the following objectives: • Reclassifies "A-frames" as a type of"lawn sign" by defining lawn signs as "temporary signs placed on private property supported by one stick, post, rod, or A-frame in or on the ground." • Allows all lawn signs in residential zones exempt from permit and fee. • Makes a consistent allowance of temporary signage between medium and high density residential zones (presently 24 square feet) and low density residential zones (presently 12 square feet). • Creates a provision for an additional 4"x24"rider sign beyond the 24 square feet. • Places size limitations on A-frames of 6 square feet per face. No size limitation to other types of temporary signs was proposed. • • • • Requires that A-frames be placed on private property, out of the right of way, and not obstructing vision clearance areas at intersections and driveways. The Planning Commission received testimony at their January 5, 2004 meeting and deliberated the proposed changes. Subsequently, the Commission modified the applicant's proposal by limiting the size of not only A- frames, but all lawn signs to a maximum size of 4 square feet per face. Also, the Commission found that the 24 total square foot allowance for temporary signs on a single property was sufficient area to not necessitate additional area for a rider sign. Therefore, conceptually a residential property would be allowed to have a 4- square foot double-faced sign on a post, an A-frame with 4 square feet of signage on each side, and two 4- square foot single-faced signs on stakes to reach a total of 24 square feet. Attached as "Attachment 1" is the ordinance adopting the proposal. The Planning Commission recommendation and draft meeting minutes are attached as"Attachment 2".

PUBLIC HEARINGS 6.1 ZONE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT (ZOA) 2003-00002 TEMPORARY A- FRAMES IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES SIGN CODE AMENDMENT REQUEST: A Zone Ordinance Amendment to amend the sign regulations to allow temporary A-frame signs in residential zones without a permit subject to size and placement restrictions. LOCATION: Residential Zones. ZONE: N/A. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Statewide Planning Goals 1 and 2; Comprehensive Plan Policies 1 and 2; and Community Development Code Chapters 18.380, 18.390 and 18.780. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -January 5,2004-Page 1 • • STAFF REPORT Associate Planner Morgan Tracy presented the staff report. He reported that this amendment has been proposed by a private citizen on behalf of several in the real estate profession. The issue at hand is that A-frames are prohibited forms of signage in residential zones. A-frames used to advertise open houses in other areas, (or sometimes even within Tigard, although they shouldn't have been there). This is a fairly common practice of real estate agents to direct potential clients and "Sunday drivers" to their showings. Staff has routinely impounded signs and cited people who place A-frames in residential zones (more often though, this has been the result of those signs being placed in the right-of-way). To address the needs of real estate agents, the applicant met with staff to develop some preliminary text revisions. Staff suggested that certain limitations be added to protect neighborhoods from sign accumulation and clutter. The proposed amendment language is the result of that collaboration. Staff has since discovered that due to the construction of the sign code and the manner in which one of the definitions is written, A-frame signs would have no longer been allowed in commercial zones. A revision is suggested to change the definition of Lawn Sign: c. Lawn Sign - temporary signs placed on private property supported by one stick, post, rod, or A-frame in or on the ground. A lawn freestanding sign in residential zones whisb is exempt from sign permit requirements provided the size requirements in Subsection 18.780.060 {B2.1 can be met. A lawn sign in commercial or industrial zones is subject to temporary permit requirements as provided for in Subsection 18.780.100. This resolves the issue with allowing A-frames in commercial zones, however, there remains a disparity between the two zoning classifications in that commercial zoned properties are required to obtain a $15 permit good for 30 days to place their signs, while residentially zoned properties do not. Considering the amount of time most residential A-frames would be used (for garage sales, estate sales, open houses) staff feels that a permitting process for these signs would be burdensome to property owners and staff alike. The City's code enforcement officer notes that the majority of sign enforcement is due to placement of signs in the right-of-way, and that this amendment will not resolve those problems. Other issues, such as monitoring when signs are removed, may also be problematic, although it is acknowledged that this provision is intended to discourage signs from being left out for"extended" PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -January 5,2004-Page 2 r • periods of time. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission amend the sign regulations as proposed by the applicant, with the change previously noted along with any other alterations as determined through the public hearing process and make a final recommendation to the Tigard City Council. Tracy advised that A-frames are generally allowed in most jurisdictions. He also advised that there are specific sign regulations with home occupation permits. APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION Heather Adams, 12655 SW North Dakota St., Tigard, OR 97223, testified that homeowners are upset that realtors cannot use A-frame signs in the City of Tigard and that she has received citations when she used the signs. She showed signs that the realtors are hoping will be approved. She stated the realtors were not asking to put the signs in the right-of-way. Martha Brooks, 5331 SW Macadam Ave., Suite 207, Portland, OR 97239, spoke on behalf of the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors. Her testimony is attached as Exhibit A. Commissioner Sutton asked about the importance of an A-frame sign as opposed to a sign on a stick. It was acknowledged that off-site directional signs are easier to place if they are A-frame signs. PUBLIC TESTIMONY — IN FAVOR Rob Blakely, 11645 SW Hazelwood Loop, Tigard, OR 97223, said he is embarrassed that Tigard has such a restrictive sign code and urged the Commission to approve the proposed amendments. Pat Savage, 16902 SW Steele Way, Beaverton, OR 97006, testified that she has had directional signs removed that were not in the right-of-way. She asked why signs couldn't be placed in the right-of-way if they weren't in anyone's way. Melvin Broadous, 7885 SW Fanno Creek Dr., Tigard, OR 97224, noted the difficulty in complying with regulations and still being able to do business. He encouraged the proposed changes to allow more signage area. Michael Curtis, 12549 SW Main St., Tigard, OR 97223, said this is an issue,in every municipality. He reported that signage is best way to advertise. He believes at least 50% of his business comes from advertising with signs. Bill Barry, 7535 SW Greenwood Dr., Portland, OR 97223, asked the Commissioners if they had ever sold a home and, if so, did signs help in the sale. Mike Lavios, 2450 Glen Haven Rd., Lake Oswego, OR 97034, said other speakers had already addressed his issues. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -January 5,2004-Page 3 • • • Richard Boyce, 7800 SW Bond St., Tigard, OR 97224, spoke on behalf of the Business Advocacy Committee to the Tigard area Chamber of Commerce. This issue has been discussed by their group several times. They are in support of this ordinance amendment. Commissioner Buehner noted that people have differing opinions about the number of signs (too many or not enough) in Tigard. Jim Poison, 14400 SW McFarland Blvd., Tigard, OR 97224, said he would personally like to see directional signs disappear, but A-frames are essential to doing business. Bill Hester, 15962 SW Enna Ct., Tigard, OR 97224, complained about the Code Enforcement Officer. PUBLIC TESTIMONY — IN OPPOSITION None PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED After discussion, Commissioner Buehner moved to recommend to Council to amend all of the subsections related to application ZOA 2003-00002, to amend the code to provide that the sign code allow signage up to 24 square feet in residential zones and specifically allowing A-frame signs (to delete them from the ban) and putting them under "Temporary Signs", but only on the property of the owner. There was no second to the motion. The motion failed due to a lack of a second. Commissioner Sutton moved that the Planning Commission recommend to Council that they approve the sign ordinance amendment, ZOA 2003-00002, as written, with the exception in section 18.780.060 that the total of 24 square feet include all signs, including the 4"x24" riders (strike the "plus one sign not to exceed 4 inches by 24 inches may additionally be attached to a lawn sign") and a further exception that instead of 6 square feet per face, that it be 4 square feet per face on any of the signs within that 24 square feet, to apply to all residential zones. There is no point in distinguishing between A-frames and stick signs; the maximum shall be 4 square feet per face on any of the signs, with a maximum of 24 square feet per property. Commissioner Haack seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of 4-2 with one abstention. 6.2 ZONE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT (ZOA) 2003-00003 BILLBOARDS & FREESTANDING FREEWAY ORIENTED SIGNS CODE AMENDMENT REQUEST: To review and amend the Tigard Sign Code Chapter 18.780 to clarify language regarding "Billboards" and "Freestanding Freeway Oriented Signs," and to amend the language of Section 18.230.030 to make the definition of"Responsible Party" consistent with Tigard Municipal Code Section 18.740.020(A)(1-3).

STAFF REPORT Associate Planner Brad Kilby presented the staff report. He reported that in April 1993, the Tigard City Council agreed to prohibit billboard signs in the Tigard city limits, but in the course of writing code, there were some terms that were left vague. Earlier this year, two companies applied for building permits to construct billboards along Hwy. 217. The City denied the permits based on the size and heights of the signs. The companies filed appeals with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals. The City prevailed with the appeals, however, LUBA thought we needed to clarify our code. The proposed amendments will accomplish the following objectives: • Amend the definition of "Responsible party" in Section 18.230.030 to be consistent with the definition of"Responsible party" in the Tigard Municipal Code. • Amend the Purpose statement of the Tigard Development Code (TDC) Chapter 18.780 to delete the adoption of the Oregon Motorist Information Act (OMIA) by reference. • Amend the definition of"Billboard" to mean signs larger than the maximum size allowed. • Delete the term "Billboard structure." • Delete the term "Public sign." • Require that OMIA permitted signs be reviewed by City of Tigard staff through a type I process. • Delete the requirement for a sign code exception by the Commission in order to allow freeway-oriented signs. • Delete the amortization clause for Billboards along Highway 99W with the amortization date of June 10, 1998. PUBLIC TESTIMONY None PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED After discussion, Commissioner Buehner, with regard to ZOA 2003-0003, moved that the Commission recommend to City Council approval of the proposed changes to the sign code amendment and section 18.280 as submitted, based on findings in the staff report and discussion held.

I am Martha Brooks, vice president.of Governmental Affairs for the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors® located at 5331 SW Macadam Avenue, Suite 207, Portland, Oregon 97239. In addition to serving in this capacity, I am also a Realtor®, with more than 16-years of experience, with an office in the Tigard Triangle. On behalf of the 5700 members of the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors®, I urge your support of the Zone Ordinance Amendment(ZOA 2003-00002)to allow temporary a-frame signs in residential zones. The proposed amendments before you are the result of Realtors® ' sitting down with City Staff to find a way that will allow Realtors®to adequately market the citizen's of Tigard's homes without seriously compromising the appearance of the City. We appreciate being able to work with City Staff on drafting the amendments. Dick Bewersdorff and Morgan Tracy were easy to work with and accessible through out the process. They should be complemented The proposed amendments to the City's Development Code will facilitate active home sales to the benefit of the entire community. No one—the seller, the neighbors, or the police—want a home on the market or sitting vacant for an unnecessarily long period of time. A-frame signs properly direct prospective homebuyers to the homes for sale or rent and underscore a vibrant marketplace. Every day, individuals and families are buying and selling homes in Tigard. In 2002, Realtors® helped sell more than $286 million worth of property in the City. In 2003, Realtors®were part of transactions totaling more than $329 million. The benefit to the community of home sales is extensive. It is estimated that roughly 30-percent of the new home occupant's income is spent on items produced by local businesses, such as medical care, daycare, and services such as dry cleaning and auto repair(source: The Importance of America's Housing Sector to the Economy, David Lereah,National Association of Realtors®, Winter.2003). 5331 SW Macadam Avenue,Suite 207 Portland, OR 97239 503.228.6595 REALTOR' Fax 503.228.4170 • Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors® 1. Before the City of Tigard Planning Commission January 5,2004 Page 2 Helping maintain the vitality of a city—a community—is what Realtors®do. Realtors®are business people who serve the community; assist the residents and tax payers of the city. We help people realize the American Dream of homeownership. One of the tools we use in our business is signs. We place signs on the property to communicate to potential buyers. We use signs to assist people in finding homes in this community that are for sale. Our clients ask us to use, and want us to use, signage to market their home. We fully support the proposed changes to the City's code that will increase the allowed square footage of sign and allow A-frame style signs on private property in residential zones. The increase in allowed square footage allows the home seller to convey a message as to the value of the home to the potential buyer. It can also let a potential buyer know when the house will be open for viewing. A-frame signs—simply a four-sided sign with a message on two sides—are an industry standard which are easily recognized by the public as a communication tool used by Realtors®. A-frames are less intrusive to the environment in that they are not stuck into the ground where damage can be done to irrigation systems and vegetation.. A-frames are temporary in nature being put up and removed frequently. And, moved from location to location. It is not practical that they be a stick-sign. We agree that the hours of allowed use should be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. Real estate open houses, garage and estate sales, Christmas tree recycling and the like are events that do not extend into the evening hours. Thus there is no need for the a-frame sign to remain standing beyond 6 p.m. In conclusion, the members of the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors®ask you support of the sign code amendments before you and ask that you recommend to the City Council adoption of the changes. I appreciate your consideration of these comments and am available to answer any questions.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION The City's sign ordinance currently prohibits A-Frame signs (signs that fold in the middle, typically have signage on both faces, and are freestanding in an "A" shape configuration) in residential zones. City staff has actively enforced this provision, either contacting the sign owner to alert them that the sign needed to be removed, impounding the sign, or issuing citations in certain cases where repeat offenses have occurred. Area real estate agents have commented that the use of A-frame signage to advertise open houses, and provide directional information is common industry practice. The City allows the use of"lawn signs", exclusive of A-frame signs in residential zones, although these signs are limited to a total of 12 square feet in size in some residential zones and 24 square feet in others, and must be posted on a single stake. SECTION IV. SUMMARY OF APPLICABLE CRITERIA Chapter 18.380 states that legislative text amendments shall be undertaken by means of a Type IV procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.060G.

This goal has been met by complying with the Tigard Development Code notice requirements set forth in Chapter 18.390. Notice has been published in the Tigard Times Newspaper prior to the public hearing. As the amendment is a legislative action that will expand the permissible uses of property (by allowing a sign not presently allowed), no direct notice was required by Ballot Measure 56. Two Public Hearings are held (one before the Planning Commission and the second before the City Council) in which public input is welcome. The City CIT members were also notified of the proposed changes. 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. The Development Code implements the Comprehensive Plan. The Development Code establishes a process for and policies to review changes to the Development Code consistent with Goal 2. The City's plan provides analysis and policies with which to evaluate a request for amending the Code consistent with Goal 2. • Any applicable Metro regulations; There are no applicable Metro regulations from the Metro Code that affect local sign regulations. _ __ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 2 OF 6 • • Applicable Comprehensive Plan Policies: Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.1: This policy states that all future legislative changes shall be consistent with the Statewide Planning Goals and the Regional Plan adopted by Metro. As indicated above under the individual Statewide and Regional Plan goals applicable to this proposed amendment, the amendment is consistent with the Statewide Goals and the Regional Plan. Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.1: This policy states that the City shall maintain an ongoing citizen involvement program and shall assure that citizens will be provided an opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process. This policy is satisfied because notice of the proposed amendment was mailed to all Citizen Involvement Team (CIT) Members and the amendment was discussed at a regular monthly Focus on Tigard meeting. In addition, notice was published in the Tigard Times of the Public Hearing and notice will be published again prior to the City Council public hearing. Public input has been invited in the notice. Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.2 and 2.1.3: In pertinent part, this policy states that the Citizen Involvement Team program and the Citizen Involvement Team Facilitators shall serve as the primary means for citizen involvement in land use planning. Policy 2:1.3 states that information on land use planning issues shall be available in understandable form. These policies were satisfied because notice of the proposed amendment was mailed to all Citizen Involvement Team (CIT) Members and the amendment was discussed at a regular monthly CIT meeting. The written notices were written in plain understandable form, and included phone numbers and a contact person for anyone who may have questions. Any applicable provision of the City's implementing ordinances. Code Section 18.380: This section regulates amendments. It outlines the process for reviewing Development Code Text Amendments. The present amendment will be reviewed under the Type IV legislative procedure as set forth in the chapter. Code Section 18.390: This chapter establishes standard decision-making procedures for reviewing applications. The amendment under consideration will be reviewed under the Type IV legislative procedure as detailed in the chapter. Code Section 18.780: This chapter establishes procedures and criteria for erecting signage.within the City. The purpose of the sign regulations is: 1. To protect the health, safety, property and welfare of the public; 2. To promote the neat, clean, orderly and attractive appearance of the community; 3. To accommodate the need of sign users while avoiding nuisances to nearby properties; 4. To insure for safe construction, location, erection and maintenance of signs; 5. To prevent proliferation of signs and sign clutter; and 6. To minimize distractions for motorists on public highways and streets. ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 3 OF 6 4 lnG/nA 01 101 In uc A rO.k.r• C'ra Cr'rirr.cr.-r Tr r.. w......... .........,s....... The proposed amendment includes provisions to ensure the continued protection of the public welfare and safety, limits the amount and duration of signage to reduce sign clutter and maintain an attractive appearance to the community, accommodates the need of sign users while avoiding nuisances by limiting signage to private property, insures the safe location of signs by requiring they be placed outside vision clearance areas, and minimizes the distractions to motorists by continuing to prohibit strings of pennants, banners or streamers, festoons of lights, clusters of flags, strings of twirlers or propellers, flashing or blinking lights, flares, balloons and similar devices of carnival character. Presently the code does not allow A-frames in residential zones. A-frames (presently termed A-board frame signs) are defined as a type of temporary sign: Temporary sign. means any sign, A-board frame, banner, lawn sign or balloon which is not permanently erected or permanently affixed to any sign structure, sign tower, the ground or a building (TDC18.780.015.52.). Temporary Signs, as defined above, are not allowed for single family and duplex buildings: Types and locations of temporary signs shall be as follows: 1. The total number of temporary signs shall not exceed one for any use at any one period of time; such signs are not permitted for single-family and duplex dwellings; 2. The total area of a temporary sign shall not exceed 24 square feet and no more than 12 square feet per face; such signs are not permitted for single- family and duplex dwellings. The permitted area for a banner shall be no more than 24 square feet per face with the total sign area not to exceed 24 square feet;(TDC 18.780.100.C) However, there are allowances for exempting lawn signs: Exemptions from permit requirements. The following signs and operations shall not require a sign permit but shall conform to all other applicable regulations of this chapter and the provisions of Subsection B below: 1. Lawn signs which do not exceed the maximum allowable area on one premise regardless of the number of signs as follows: a. A total of 12 square feet in the R-1, R-2, R-3.5, R-4.5 and R-7 zones; • b.:A total of 24 square feet in the R-12, R-25 and R-40 zones. (TDC 18.780.060) But these exemptions currently do not provide for A-frame signs. The proposed code amendments modify the language in the aforementioned sections so that A-frames are considered a type of lawn sign, exempt from permit requirements but still subject to time, size, and location restrictions. Section 18.780.015 (52) is modified such that A-frames are classified as a type of lawn sign. Section 18.780.060 is changed to eliminate the distinction of allowed temporary sign sizes between low/medium density and medium/high density residential zones, so that all residential zoned properties may display a maximum of 24 square feet of signage. In addition a small extra sign is permissible to account for attachments to standard real estate lawn signs such as the realtor's name, a special.home feature, or agent's phone number. To avoid the potential for very large A-frame signs (e.g. 4'x3' per side), a provision limiting these signs to 6 square feet per face (e.g. 2'X3') is proposed. ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 4 OF 6 • • Section 18.780.100 includes additional language provisions to clarify that lawn signs which are exempt from temporary permit requirements are not governed by the provisions affecting temporary signs that require permits. Also this section restates that lawn signs must be placed on private property, outside the right of way, and may not obstruct the vision clearance area. SECTION V. STAFF ANALYSIS Restrictions on signage, especially within the residential zones, are an important aspect of promoting the peaceful enjoyment of a neighborhood. However, identification of properties that are for sale is also an important function to enable homeowners to effectively market their property, and provide prospective purchasers a way to locate open houses. The City needs to balance these competing purposes, and may do so through restrictions on place, time, and manner. The City may not regulate based on the content or intended message of the signs, so whatever restrictions or allowances are granted, they shall be content neutral. Staff met with the applicant during a pre-application conference on October 14, 2003 to discuss these issues and discuss possible changes to the code. The proposed code revisions address the applicant's concerns by classifying A-frame signs as a type of lawn sign, allowable in residential zones exempt from permit requirements. To ensure the public welfare and safety is protected, limitations on the size (6 square feet per face), placement (on private property outside the vision clearance area), and duration (permissible only between 8AM And 6PM) of these signs were also included in the proposed amendments, as shown in Exhibit A, attached. While the proposed amendments have been proposed by the applicant to address needs of the realty companies, the City should consider other possible uses for these allowed signs including: ♦ • Garage Sales ♦ Estate Sales • Political Campaigns ♦ Off-site Commercial Advertising • General Advertising (e.g. "weight loss", "work from home", "got garbage?") Staff believes that the proposed amendment strikes the best balance of restriction while still allowing for real estate promotion. General and off site advertising is limited in time (signs are only permitted between the hours of 8AM and 6PM) and location (signs must be placed on private property, which would require consent of the property owner). Staff does not foresee a problem associated with garage and estate sale signs as these are for such limited duration (usually one weekend). Political signs are likewise restricted; however, it is more conceivable that property owners would allow such signage on their property and would take the signs in at night. A-frame signs are also not the traditional form for political signage, however, there is nothing provided in these amendments that would prevent such a sign. One additional issue to be aware of is that amendments to the Tigard city code do not apply to the unincorporated area of Bull Mountain until Washington County formally adopts these changes into the Intergovernmental Agreement. This will need to occur through a separate process under the direction of Washington County. For continuity and enforcement issues, the Planning Commission may wish to recommend that Council adopt a provision that any change to the code go into effect upon Washington County's enactment of the amendment. SECTION VI. OTHER ALTERNATIVES No Action - The sign code would remain unchanged, and A-frame signage would continue to ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 5 OF 6 • • be prohibited in residential zones. Expanded Action —Allow additional forms or size of signage, or extend their duration limits. Alternate Action — Impose requirements for permitting A-Frames, or add additional limitations (size, location, duration, etc.) on these types of signs. SECTION VII. ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF & OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS • The City of Tigard Forester, Police Department, Building Division, Water Department, Long Range Planning Division, and Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue have all reviewed the proposal and have no objections to it. The City of Tigard Engineering Department, Tualatin Valley Water District, Clean Water Services, Metro, Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, Oregon Department of Transportation, Washington County Department of Land Use and Transportation, and all four Citizen Involvement Teams were notified of the proposed amendment and did not respond.

Heather Jane-this is just conversation- my thoughts are in red.Thanks for your help- look forward to your response. HMA p.s. I don't think Martha's testimony helped-the statement was long & I don't think they listened-what if we submit it in writing prior to the council meeting? Q:Can signs be placed out every day? A: Under the proposed code amendments temporary A-Frame sign hours of display will be are limited to 9:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m. Reworded just for clarification Q: Can the City incur any liability if damage caused by sign(s)on private property? A: No. Q:Will adoption of the proposed code change allow signs to be placed in the public-right-of-way? A: No.The proposed amendment does not include language that would allow such use. Q: Do other City's allow signs in the public-right-of-way? A:Yes.Specifically: Canby,limited to Saturday and Sunday 8:00 a.m.to 8:00 p.m.; Lake Oswego, limited to Sunday 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.; Johnson City, permitted only while house is open; Portland, limited to between 6:00 p.m. Friday and 8:00 p.m. Sunday,and 6:00 a.m.to 1:00 p.m.Tuesday; Sherwood, limited to 6:00 p.m.Thursday until 8:00 p.m. Sunday and all day Tuesday;Wilsonville,allowed between 6:00 p.m. Friday to 8:00 p.m. Sunday, and 6:00 a.m.to 1:00 p.m.Tuesday. Jane I'd like to eliminate Johnson City here and think this information is only needed if someone brings it up-we are not proposing public-right-of-way useage. I don't want to confuse them. So I think rather than a statement to include this- it is just useful information to have for a comparable.What do you think? Q:Why is 24-square feet needed? A:The proposed size allows a For Sale sign plus an A-Board sign to be displayed simultaneously on property in residential zones.Allowing a total of 24-square feet per parcel provides consistency in the City's Code. Currently,Tigard's code limits signage to a total of 12-square feet in single family zones and 24-square feet in multi-family zones(R-12, R-25, R-40). For Sale sign:2 faces each measuring approximately 3-sq.feet.Total square footage=6-square feet.We also want to add up to two riders per hanging sign which would add up to and additional 3 feet per side. So we can just say up to 6 sq ft per side (?) A-Board sign:4 faces each measuring approximately 3-square feet.Total square footage= 18-square feet.Why are you calculating 4 faces? I've mailed Morgan for clarification but remember them saying you don't have to count the underside in the total footage. (NOTE: PMAR member companies'A-frame signs range in height between 24 and 31 inches tall excluding the sticks that hold up the sign.) Q: Need clearly defined standards for allowed size. A:Tigard staff and the applicant considered how to clearly define the size of allowed signs.This is why the proposed code amendment is written to allow total signage up to 24-square feet.This will allow the A- frame to be of legal size whether only the two outward facing sides are measured or the outward facing and inward facing sides are measured. Again-getting clarification but don't think this is an issue-the riders are. The Tigard Staff Report recommends amending Section 18.780.060 to limit signs to 6-sqaure feet per face (2x3). No objection. • Q: Concerned as to what the message on the sign could say. A:The City can not regulate the content of the measure. Morgan Tracy--TEXT.htm — Page 2' • The City's Code, 18.780.07O(D), prohibits signs to bear messages deemed to be obscene. Regarding signage advertising a home business,this is regulated under the City's Code that addresses home occupations. Q:Want to limit amount of time the temporary sign can be displayed. A:The proposed code amendment limits the hours of display to 9:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m for A Frame Signs. Q:Would like to ban directionals. A:Such action would be considered regulating the content-or the message-of the sign. Such action has been successful challenged in court. I think we should let this one just drop-do you remember the name ¶ of the Agent who brought that up?Al has agreed to call his Broker&have a talk. Q:Would like to treat all residential zones the same. A: No objection. Q:Would like an increase in the penalty for illegally placed signs. A. City currently considers an illegal sign to be a Class 1 Civil Infraction and imposes a$250 fine per illegal sign.That's really stiff enough!

I am Martha Brooks, vice president of Governmental Affairs for the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors® located at 5331 SW Macadam Avenue, Suite 207, Portland, Oregon 97239. In addition to serving in this capacity, I am also a Realtor®, with more than 16-years of experience, with an office in the Tigard Triangle. On behalf of the 5700 members of the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors®, I urge your support of the Zone Ordinance Amendment (ZOA 2003-00002) to allow temporary a-frame signs in residential zones. The proposed amendments before you are the result of Realtors® sitting down with City Staff to find a way that will allow Realtors®to adequately market the citizen's of Tigard's homes without seriously compromising the appearance of the City. We appreciate being able to work with City Staff on drafting the amendments. Dick Bewersdorff and Morgan Tracy were easy to work with and accessible through out the process. They should be complemented The proposed amendments to the City's Development Code will facilitate active home sales to the benefit of the entire community. No one—the seller, the neighbors, or the police—want a home on the market or sitting vacant for an unnecessarily long period of time. A-frame signs properly direct prospective homebuyers to the homes for sale or rent and underscore a vibrant marketplace. Every day, individuals and families are buying and selling homes in Tigard. In 2002, Realtors® helped sell more than $286 million worth of property in the City. In 2003, Realtors®were part of transactions totaling more than $329 million. The benefit to the community of home sales is extensive. It is estimated that roughly 30-percent of the new home occupant's income is spent on items produced by local businesses, such as medical care, daycare, and services such as dry cleaning and auto repair (source: The Importance of America's Housing Sector to the Economy, David Lereah, National Association of Realtors®, Winter 2003). 5331 SW Macadam Avenue, Suite 207 Portland, OR 97239 503.228.6595 REALTOR Fax 503.228.4170 Portland Metropolitan Asiation of Realtors® • • Before the City of Tigard Planning Commission January 5, 2004 Page 2 . Helping maintain the vitality of a city—a community—is what Realtors®do. Realtors®are business people who serve the community; assist the residents and tax payers of the city. We help people realize the American Dream of homeownership. One of the tools we use in our business is signs. We place signs on the property to communicate to potential buyers. We use signs to assist people in finding homes in this community that are for sale. Our clients ask us to use, and want us to use, signage to market their home. We fully support the proposed changes to the City's code that will increase the allowed square footage of sign and allow A-frame style signs on private property in residential zones. The increase in allowed square footage allows the home seller to convey a message as to the value of the home to the potential buyer. It can also let a potential buyer know when the house will be open for viewing. A-frame signs—simply a four-sided sign with a message on two sides—are an industry standard which are easily recognized by the public as a communication tool used by Realtors®. A-frames are less intrusive to the environment in that they are not stuck into the ground where damage can be done to irrigation systems and vegetation. A-frames are temporary in nature being put up and removed frequently. And, moved from location to location. It is not practical that they be a stick-sign. We agree that the hours of allowed use should be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. Real estate open houses, garage and estate sales, Christmas tree recycling and the like are events that do not extend into the evening hours. Thus there is no need for the a-frame sign to remain standing beyond 6 p.m. In conclusion, he members of the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors® ask you support of the sign code amendments before you and ask that you recommend to the City Council adoption of the changes.

APPLICATION SUMMARY CASE NAME: CODE AMENDMENT TO ALLOW THE PLACEMENT OF TEMPORARY A-FRAME SIGNS IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES. CASE NO.: Zone Ordinance Amendment(ZOA) ZOA2003-00002 PROPOSAL: To amend the Sign requirements within the Tigard Development Code to allow the placement of temporary A-frame signs in Residential Zones. These signs would be exempt from permit requirements, but would still be subject to time, place, and size restrictions. APPLICANT: Heather Adams OWNER: N/A 12655 SW North Dakota Street Tigard, OR 97223 ZONE: N/A. LOCATION: Residential Zones. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Chapters 18.380 and 18.390; Comprehensive Plan Policies 1.1.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3; The Metro 2040 Plan; and Statewide Planning Goals 1 and 2. SECTION II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission amend the Sign .Regulations as proposed by the applicant, with any alterations as determined through the public hearing process and make a final recommendation to the Tigard City Council: ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 1 OF 6 1/05/04 PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION • • / SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The City's sign ordinance currently prohibits A-Frame signs (signs that fold in the middle, typically have signage on both faces, and are freestanding in an "A" shape configuration) in residential zones. City staff has actively enforced this provision, either contacting the sign owner to alert them that the sign needed to be removed, impounding the sign, or issuing citations in certain cases where repeat offenses have occurred. Area real estate agents have commented that the use of A-frame signage to advertise open houses, and provide directional information is common industry practice. The City allows the use of"lawn signs", exclusive of A-frame signs in residential zones, although these signs are limited to a total of 12 square feet in size in some residential zones and 24 square feet in others, and must be posted on a single stake. SECTION IV. SUMMARY OF APPLICABLE CRITERIA Chapter 18.380 states that legislative text amendments shall be undertaken by means of a Type IV procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.060G. Chapter 18.390.060G states that the recommendation by the Commission and the decision by the Council shall be based on consideration of the following factors: • The Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines adopted under Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 197; Forty-five day advance notice was provided to DLCD on November 12, 2003, 54 days prior to the first scheduled public hearing as required. In addition, the Tigard Development Code and Comprehensive Plan have been acknowledged by DLCD. The following are the applicable Statewide Planning Goals that are applicable to this proposal: Statewide Planning Goal 1 — Citizen Involvement: This goal outlines the citizen involvement requirement for adoption of Comprehensive Plans and for changes to the Comprehensive Plan and implementing documents. This goal has been met by complying with the Tigard Development Code notice requirements set forth in Chapter 18.390. Notice has been published in the Tigard Times Newspaper prior to the public hearing. As the amendment is a legislative action that will expand the permissible uses of property (by allowing a sign not presently allowed), no direct notice was required by Ballot Measure 56. Two Public Hearings are held (one before the Planning Commission and the second before the City Council) in which public input is welcome. The City CIT members were also notified of the proposed changes. 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. The Development Code implements the Comprehensive Plan. The Development Code establishes a process for and policies to review changes to the Development Code consistent with Goal 2. The City's plan provides analysis and policies with which to evaluate a request for amending the Code consistent with Goal 2. • Any applicable Metro regulations; There are no applicable Metro regulations from the Metro Code that affect local sign regulations. ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 2 OF 6 1/05/04 PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION • • • • Applicable Comprehensive Plan Policies: Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.1: This policy states that all future legislative changes shall be consistent with the Statewide Planning Goals and the Regional Plan adopted by Metro. As indicated above under the individual Statewide and Regional Plan goals applicable to this proposed amendment, the amendment is consistent with the Statewide Goals and the Regional Plan. Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.1: This policy states that the City shall maintain an ongoing citizen involvement program and shall assure that citizens will be provided an opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process. This policy is satisfied because notice of the proposed amendment was mailed to all Citizen Involvement Team (CIT) Members and the amendment was discussed at a regular monthly Focus on Tigard meeting. In addition, notice was published in the Tigard Times of the Public Hearing and notice will be published again prior to the City Council public hearing. Public input has been invited in the notice. Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.2 and 2.1.3: In pertinent part, this policy states that the Citizen Involvement Team program and the Citizen Involvement Team Facilitators shall serve as the primary means for citizen involvement in land use planning. Policy 2.1.3 states that information on land use planning issues shall be available in understandable form. These policies were satisfied because notice of the proposed amendment was mailed to all Citizen Involvement Team (CIT) Members and the amendment was discussed at a regular monthly CIT meeting. The written notices were written in plain understandable form, and included phone numbers and a contact person for anyone who may have questions. • Any applicable provision of the City's implementing ordinances. Code Section 18.380: This section regulates amendments. It outlines the process for reviewing Development Code Text Amendments. The present amendment will be reviewed under the Type IV legislative procedure as set forth in the chapter. Code Section 18.390: This chapter establishes standard decision-making procedures for reviewing applications. The amendment under consideration will be reviewed under the Type IV legislative procedure as detailed in the chapter. Code Section 18.780: This chapter establishes procedures and criteria for erecting signage within the City. The purpose of the sign regulations is: 1. To protect the health, safety, property and welfare of the public; 2. To promote the neat, clean, orderly and attractive appearance of the community; 3. To accommodate the need of sign users while avoiding nuisances to nearby properties; 4. To insure for safe construction, location, erection and maintenance of signs; 5. To prevent proliferation of signs and sign clutter; and 6. To minimize distractions for motorists on public highways and streets. ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 3 OF 6 1/05/04 PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION • • The proposed amendment includes provisions to ensure the continued protection of the public welfare and safety, limits the amount and duration of signage to reduce sign clutter and maintain an attractive appearance to the community, accommodates the need of sign users while avoiding nuisances by limiting signage to private property, insures the safe location of signs by requiring they be placed outside vision clearance areas, and minimizes the distractions to motorists by continuing to prohibit strings of pennants, banners or streamers, festoons of lights, clusters of flags, strings of twirlers or propellers, flashing or blinking lights, flares, balloons and similar devices of carnival character. Presently the code does not allow A-frames in residential zones. A-frames (presently termed A-board frame signs) are defined as a type of temporary sign: Temporary sign. means any sign, A-board frame, banner, lawn sign or balloon which is not permanently erected or permanently affixed to any sign structure, sign tower, the ground or a building (TDC18.780.015.52.). Temporary Signs, as defined above, are not allowed for single family and duplex buildings: Types and locations of temporary signs shall be as follows: 1. The total number of temporary signs shall not exceed one for any use at any one period of time; such signs are not permitted for single-family and duplex dwellings; 2. The total area of a temporary sign shall not exceed 24 square feet and no more than 12 square feet per face;such signs are not permitted for single- family and duplex dwellings. The permitted area for a banner shall be no more than 24 square feet per face with the total sign area not to exceed 24 square feet;(TDC 18.780.100.C) However, there are allowances for exempting lawn signs: Exemptions from permit requirements. The following signs and operations shall not require a sign permit but shall conform to all other applicable regulations of this chapter and the provisions of Subsection B below: 1. Lawn signs which do not exceed the maximum allowable area on one premise regardless of the number of signs as follows: a. A total of 12 square feet in the R-1, R-2, R-3.5, R-4.5 and R-7 zones; b. A total of 24 square feet in the R-12, R-25 and R-40 zones. (TDC 18.780.060) But these exemptions currently do not provide for A-frame signs. The proposed code amendments modify the language in the aforementioned sections so that A-frames are considered a type of lawn sign, exempt from permit requirements but still subject to time, size, and location restrictions. Section 18/80.015 (52) is modified such that A-frames are classified as a type of lawn sign. Section 18.780.060 is changed to eliminate the distinction of allowed temporary sign sizes between low/medium density and medium/high density residential zones, so that all residential zoned properties may display a maximum of 24 square feet of signage. In addition a small extra sign is permissible to account for attachments to standard real estate lawn signs such as the realtor's name, a special home feature, or agent's phone number. To avoid the potential for very large A-frame signs (e.g. 4'x3' per side), a provision limiting these signs to 6 square feet per face (e.g. 2'X3') is proposed. ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 4 OF 6 1/05/04 PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION • • • Section 18.780.100 includes additional language provisions to clarify that lawn signs which are exempt from temporary permit requirements are not governed by the provisions affecting temporary signs that require permits. Also this section restates that lawn signs must be placed on private property, outside the right of way, and may not obstruct the vision clearance area. SECTION V. STAFF ANALYSIS • Restrictions on signage, especially within the residential zones, are an important aspect of promoting the peaceful enjoyment of a neighborhood. However, identification of properties that are for sale is also an important function to enable homeowners to effectively market their property, and provide prospective purchasers a way to locate open houses. The City needs to balance these competing purposes, and may do so through restrictions on place, time, and manner. The City may not regulate based on the content or intended message of the signs, so whatever restrictions or allowances are granted, they shall be content neutral. Staff met with the applicant during a pre-application conference on October 14, 2003 to discuss these issues and discuss possible changes to the code. The proposed code revisions address the applicant's concerns by classifying A-frame signs as a type of lawn sign, allowable in residential zones exempt from permit requirements. To ensure the public welfare and safety is protected, limitations on the size (6 square feet per face), placement (on private property outside the vision clearance area), and duration (permissible only between 8AM And 6PM) of these signs were also included in the proposed amendments, as shown in Exhibit A, attached. While the proposed amendments have been proposed by the applicant to address needs of the realty companies, the City should consider other possible uses for these allowed signs including: ♦ Garage Sales • Estate Sales ♦ Political Campaigns ♦ Off-site Commercial Advertising • General Advertising (e.g. "weight loss", "work from home", "got garbage?") Staff believes that the proposed amendment strikes the best balance of restriction while still allowing for real estate promotion. General and off site advertising is limited in time (signs are only permitted between the hours of 8AM and 6PM) and location (signs must be placed on private property, which would require consent of the property owner). Staff does not foresee a problem associated with garage and estate sale signs as these are for such limited duration (usually one weekend). Political signs are likewise restricted; however, it is more conceivable that property owners would allow such signage on their property and would take the signs in at night. A-frame signs are also not the traditional form for political signage, however, there is nothing provided in these amendments that would prevent such a sign. One additional issue to be aware of is that amendments to the Tigard city code do not apply to the unincorporated area of Bull Mountain until Washington County formally adopts these changes into the Intergovernmental Agreement. This will need to occur through a separate process under the direction of Washington County. For continuity and enforcement issues, the Planning Commission may wish to recommend that Council adopt a provision that any change to the code go into effect upon Washington County's enactment of the amendment. SECTION VI. OTHER ALTERNATIVES No Action - The sign code would remain unchanged, and A-frame signage would continue to ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 5 OF 6 1/05/04 PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION • • be prohibited in residential zones. Expanded Action —Allow additional forms or size of signage, or extend their duration limits. Alternate Action — Impose requirements for permitting A-Frames, or add additional limitations (size, location, duration, etc.) on these types of signs. SECTION VII. ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF & OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS The City of Tigard Forester, Police Department, Building Division, Water Department, Long Range Planning Division, and Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue have all reviewed the proposal and have no objections to it. The City of Tigard Engineering Department, Tualatin Valley Water District, Clean Water Services, Metro, Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, Oregon Department of Transportation, Washington County Department of Land Use and Transportation, and all four Citizen Involvement Teams were notified of the proposed amendment and did not respond. - ATTACHMENT: Exhibit A — Proposed Development Code Text Changes December 17, 2003 PREPA D BY:MORG N TRACY DATE Associate Planner _A, December 17, 2003 APPROV 71311':D CK BE- ERSD cf.FF DATE Planning Manag: ZOA2003-00002 PAGE 6 OF 6 -- - 1/05/04-PUBLIC-HEARING STAFF REPORT TO-PLANNING COMMISSION ---- --- -- - -_- - 10%24/2003 17:06 FAX Q002/003 /24/2003 18:29 FAX 5035981960 --• CITY OF TIGAItD ®001 .... :. - - __-- _ -- RECEIVED --- CITY- OF TIGARD Pi — — A 13125 SW HALL BOULEVAR OCT 2 7 2003 -' 503:639:4171% _ 1!1 I�� CITY OF TIGARD CITY OF TIGARD PtA QI• NENGINEERING OREGON LAND -USE PERMITAPPLICATION - File#.
