Air Resources
nvironmental Quality addresses the quality of air we breathe,water in
aquifers,wetlands, streams and lakes and the responsible management
and disposal of waste. Environmental quality is essential for a high
quality of life including a strong and sustainable economy.Therefore,Portland
metropolitan area governments and agencies,in cooperation with state and
federal governments, have developed systems to address urban development's
impacts on air,water,and land resource quality. This includes measures to
prevent environmental degradation and the need for conservation. Statewide
Planning Goal 6 requires Oregon jurisdictions to adopt Comprehensive
Plans that provide goals and policies as the basis to manage the impact of
developments on air,water and land resources
Elm
`r°>AYrj,Water�and Land Resources Quality
"To maintain and improve the quality of the air,water and land resources of the state."
The community's vision is for a future where the character and livability of
Tigard is enhanced by the quality of the surrounding environment. The citizens
know the importance of participating in regional partnerships, of ensuring the
natural resource systems function to provide clean air and water, and of devel-
oping land use patterns and a multi-modal transportation system that reduces
the dependency on the automobile. Furthermore,it is recognized that expected
population growth in the region will require further effort and innovation to
protect environmental quality.
At the local level,Tigard can protect environmental quality by ensuring its
land use policies, codes, and standards are up-to-date with contemporary best
management practices; that it is compliant with state and federal environmental
laws and administrative rules; and that it leads by example in employing environ-
mentally sound and sustainable practices in its municipal operations. The City
also has an opportunity to inform its citizens on how changes in daily life can
improve environmental quality.
Section 1: Air Resources Quality
Clean air is essential for human well-being. Furthermore,if a region violates
federal and state clean air rules, there can be significant negative impacts on the
economy as a result of mandated actions to improve air quality. To ensure access
to clean air, the federal Clean Air Act was created as the primary regulatory
framework for national, state, and local efforts to protect air quality. Under the
Comprehensive Plan City of Tigard 6-1
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for
setting standards, known as National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS),
for pollutants considered harmful to people and the environment.Air quality
planning is focused on meeting the NAAQS and setting deadlines for meeting
these standards.
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is responsible
for protecting Oregon's air quality by issuing permits, developing programs,
and monitoring air pollution to ensure communities meet the NAAQS and to
protect Oregon's pristine views. Air pollutants identified in the 2005 DEQ Air
,Qualily Deport as the greatest concern in Oregon are:
■ Ground-level ozone, commonly known as smog;
■ Fine particulate matter (mostly from wood smoke, other combustion
sources, cars and dust);
■ Hazardous air pollutants (also called Air Toxics); and
■ Carbon monoxide (mostly from motor vehicles).
As air quality does not know political boundaries,
regional efforts were established to monitor and
F ° plan for pollutants.The City of Tigard is part
of the Portland Area Airshed (PAA),which is
° defined by the Metro service boundary. The DEQ
is responsible for ensuring the PAA meets the
° g ° national standards and developing the necessary
° g plans to continue compliance. Currently, the PAA
■ meets all NAAQS standards (three-year averages
f a are used to determine attainment/non-attainment
of the standards: eight-hour ozone,particulate
V. matter, and carbon monoxide). However,DEQ
is required to develop maintenance plans for
carbon monoxide and ozone to ensure continued
t g compliance.
At the local level, the City can have a positive
impact on air quality. Land use, transportation,
and public facility planning can promote land development patterns and trans-
portation systems that reduce dependence on the automobile. The city can
coordinate with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to ensure
6-2 City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan
x
Air Resources
that industries requiring DEQ permits comply with state and federal regulations.
Also, the city can protect existing natural areas and mature trees and promote
and participate in tree planting efforts. Vegetation has the natural ability to
convert and sequester carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Trees and shrubs
can also serve to screen and buffer dissimilar land uses and lessen noise pollu-
tion. The City can also ensure its codes and regulations prevent and mitigate
other negative air quality impacts associated with urban development such as
visible emissions, odors,glare and heat.
KEY FINDINGS
■ Within urban areas, air quality is often much worse along major roadways.
■ DEQ has issued six active Air Containinant Discharge Permits (RCDP)
within the City to regulate minor sources of contaminant emissions.
■ Motor vehicles are now the primary source of air pollution in Oregon and,
due to population increases, the number of miles driven daily by Tigard
residents has increased 67% since 1990.
■ The primary sources of household pollutants in Tigard include wood
burning fireplaces, and lawn and garden equipment.
■ The Oregon Legislature adopted a number of specific measures to address
air quality in the region.
■ The citizens of Tigard value trees and natural resources and feel that
protecting these resources will benefit the community.

Section 2: Water Resources Quality
The quality of the water in our aquifers, streams,rivers, lakes, and wetlands is
important to the health and welfare of the community, as well as the fish and
6-4 Cita,of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan
Water Resources
wildlife that rely on clean water for habitat. To limit harmful unpacts from
human activities on water quality, the Clean Water Act (CWA) was enacted. It
regulates the discharge of pollutants into waterways through National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. In the State of Oregon, the
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has been charged with estab-
lishing standards,regulating, and monitoring Oregon's waters for compliance
with the CWA and NPDES.
Large municipalities typically have NPDES
permits for their wastewater treatment facilities p
and for stormwater runoff, called a Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. In t
urban Washington County,which includes the
City of Tigard, the permits have been combined 8
and are held by Clean`dater Services (CWS).
The combined permit was issued for the entire
Tualatin River watershed to guide a basin-wide t 0
effort to improve water quality. It requires CWS
to submit a Stormwater Management Plan and
a Wastewater Management Plan to DEQ. These
two plans outline the best management practices
that CWS,its member cities, and Washington � s
County commit to employ to reduce pollutant
discharges, regulate temperature, and comply with
any Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) levels
that have been established. ,
The City of Tigard is a co-implementer of
h
the permits and associated plans through an
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with CWS.
The IGA outlines the functions the City must ,
perform that are critical to the operation, main-
tenance, and management of stormwater and aw
wastewater facilities and to ensure compliance with the CWA.
Separate from the NPDES permit process, Clean Water Services has developed
a Surface Water Management Program to manage non-point source pollution
impacts on water quality. The Hwltl2y Streavis Plan, a public education program,
and watershed restoration projects are among the several activities undertaken
Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 6-5
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
to improve the water quality of streams and wetlands within the Tualatin River
basin.
The City also has an important role in improving water quality. For example,it
has committed staff and resources to implement the Healtly Streams Plan. This
involves ongoing efforts to restore stream health and associated riparian areas,
educating the public about how individual actions can improve water quality,
and coordinating policies and actions with other jurisdictions and agencies.
These actions help maintain compliancewith Metro's Urban Growl)Management
Functional Plan Title 13 and implement the Nature in Neighborhoods Program.
Tigard also seeks to improve water quality by adopting land use policies and
regulations to prevent erosion and protect floodplains and other sensitive lands
including tree groves,wetlands, and stream corridors. Land use regulations can
also help reduce water pollution by reducing impervious surfaces, and requiring
storm water retention and treatment on-site. In addition, the City can provide
education about how low-impact development and green building techniques
can conserve water and protect water quality. Furthermore the city maintains a
sewer extension program to connect properties to the city sewer system that rely
on septic tanks and drain fields.
KEY FINDINGS
■ Water quality in the Tualatin River basin has been generally improving since
the 1970s, despite continued urbanization in the watershed.
■ In 2006, Oregon DEQ characterized both Fanno Creek and the Tualatin
River as having"poor"water quality within the City of Tigard. However,
this is an improvement from the"very poor" ranking received in 1995.
■ Non-point sources are the largest contributors to water pollution in both
Oregon and the Tualatin River basin.
■ Within Tigard,run-off from impervious surfaces,pet waste, and erosion/
sedimentation are the most problematic non-point sources of pollution.
■ To enhance water quality, the City has an active program of tree planting,
water quality facility construction (vegetated swales and retention basins),
and stream corridor and wetland enhancements.
■ The citizens of Tigard are concerned about the impact of growth on the
community's natural resources.

Land Resources
Section 3: Land Resources Quality
Modern life inevitably leads to the production of waste. From the point in time
when cities are first developed, and continuing throughout their occupancy,
by-products of human activity must be collected and properly disposed of to
protect the health of both people and the natural environment. To accom-
plish this, the state of Oregon and Metro has partnered to create laws, rules,
and programs to direct reduction and efficient removal of waste. The Oregon
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is responsible for ensuring
compliance with state rules and statutes. DEQ is also responsible for preparing
the Oregon State Integrated Resource and Solid lY/arte Management Plan.
Within the Portland Metropolitan Region, Metro has the responsibility for
oversight and management of solid waste collection and disposal. This includes
the responsibility=to prepare and update the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan.
The regional plan establishes the framework for coordinating most solid waste
collection and disposal programs, directing waste reduction and recovery efforts,
identifying roles and responsibilities, and fulfilling DEQ's requirement that the
region have an overall waste reduction plan. The Regional Plan is also respon-
sible for recommending ways to address the solid waste management impacts of
future population and employment growth.
Tigard participates in Metro's plan update process and implements the plan
through the Washington County Cooperative,which includes a number of cities
in Washington County. This regional collaboration is important to reducing the
amount of waste generated and entering landfills.
At the local level, the City is responsible for regulating and managing solid waste
and recycling collection services within the city limits, and reviewing collec-
tion rates and service standards. Garbage and recycling collection services are
provided by private haulers who operate within established franchise bound-
aries. The City enters into franchise agreements with the private haulers for the
removal of solid waste generated from residential, commercial, and industrial
customers.

`Land and uses developed on the land shall be
unaged and controlled so as to maximi.Ze the
conservation of all forms of energy, based upon
sound economic principles. "
0 ur way of life is powered by energy. From the construction process
to home heating to getting around the community, affordable and
reliable energy sources are counted upon to sustain our needs. Energy
also drives the economy and has a significant impact on the environment. These
roles are important to consider when planning for future sources, distribution,
conservation efforts,land use, transportation, and development patterns. The
City's commitment to manage land use to conserve energy is based on Oregon
Statewide Planning Goal 13.
F kk r v�
NIMAN- � P k.: ' I ..M
"Land and uses developed on the land shall be managed and controlled so as to maximize
the conservation of all forms of energy,based on sound economic principles."
Tigard residents envision a future where access to reliable energy supplies and
their use do not degrade the environmental quality of the community. They
recognize the importance of renewable energy resources for the economy, the
value in conservation efforts, and the significance of land use and transportation
planning on energy consumption. Public transportation and a well-connected
bicycle and pedestrian network are services greatly supported by the community.
The community also recognizes that the City can employ new techniques and
technologies in municipal operations, as well as encouraging citizens to take a
personal interest in energy consumption and conservation.
The City of Tigard currently has no energy resources and no future plans to
develop any generation or supply facilities. The Oregon Department of Energy
(DOE) has taken the statewide lead by planning to ensure an adequate, afford-
able, and clean energy supply is available for Oregonians. The DOE produces
the Oregon Energy Plan on a biennial basis. It assesses energy demand and supply
in the state, identifies issues affecting energy, and presents an action plan to meet
the goals of the plan.
Energy conditions and future issues identified by the 2005-2007 Oregon Energy
Plan include:
■ Unstable energy pricing and supply will continue to affect communities
as it did in 2002 when Oregonians spent 50%more per unit of energy
to heat their homes than in 1998.
■ World oil production may peak in the next decade and begin a long-
term decline. Coupled with a growth in worldwide demand, peak oil will
maintain or increase already high oil prices.
Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 134
ENERGY CONSERVATION
■ Natural gas supplies from North America are declining,while prices
have doubled in the past five years. Worldwide competition for the gas
is also expected to increase.
To address these issues, the Oregon Energy Plan recommends conservation efforts
for households, businesses, industry, and transportation, as well as developing
clean and renewable energy resources. These
.' efforts can provide insulation from, and reduce
the community's vulnerability to,volatile pricing
and supplies. They are also consistent with
a statewide planning Goal 13 for maximizing the
conservation of all forms of energy. Building
s efficiency standards, the Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) rating
I system,and weatherization programs are options
for promoting energy conservation in build-
ings. Metro's Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is
required to address energy conservation, effi-
ciency, and alternative transportation options
' under state and federal law. Options include
F , driving less, buying fuel-efficient vehicles, or using
alternative fuels.
Tigard has the ability to affect energy conserva-
tion efforts through developing efficient land use
and transportation plans that reduce automobile
trips.This includes promoting compact mixed use
p: communities, and transit use and development.
The City can lead by example in utilizing alterna-
tive energies and becoming more energy efficient
in municipal operations. Tigard can also challenge
1'�} residents to reach energy conservation goals set
by the community.
K t:; "I-IN 1) i.N C;`,"S
■ Transportation is the largest use of energy in the state at 38%. A
considerable reduction in energy use can be made with individuals altering
their habits related to the use of motor vehicles.
■ The City has no energy generation or supply facilities and therefore the
13-2 City of Tigard I Comprehensive Plan
community's energy supply and pricing is controlled by forces beyond its
direct influence.
■ A number of alternative fuel options exist for motor vehicles,but supplies
and availability are limited.
■ Large energy uses which the City has control over include street lighting,
water transfer pumps, heating and cooling of municipal buildings, and the
motor vehicle pool.
■ Solar-generated power and wood heating are the two most common options
available to the community for producing their own energy.Wood heating
can be problematic to air quality due to the release of fine particulate matter.
■ Weatherization, energy efficient building materials and appliances, and
alternative energy sources can all reduce energy consumption in buildings.
■ The citizens of 'Tigard value pedestrian and bicycle paths in the community
and support the development of a well connected network.
■ The citizens of Tigard value access to bus service in the community.
■ The following land use planning strategies can result in a more energy-
efficient community:
■ Establishing mixed-use zones to encourage working, living, and
shopping in the same neighborhood
■ Providing opportunities for increased density along public transit
lines
■ Support a public transit system that is reliable, connected, and
efficient
■ Building a bicycle and pedestrian network that is connected, safe,
and accessible
■ Connecting streets for efficiency and reducing congestion
■ Re-use of vacant and underutilized land.

Parks,
Recreation, Trails
and Open Sace
'To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens
of the state and visitors and, mhere appropriate,
to provide for the siting of recreational facilities,
including destination resorts. "
ccess to parks, recreation, trails,and open space enhances the livability
of a community and contributes to the well-being of its residents. These
amenities provide a variety of opportunities for residents and visitors
to enjoy both active and passive activities, while also helping to preserve open
space,wildlife habitat, and natural resources. Parks may also serve as informal
meeting places to draw people together and create a sense of place.These public
lands and facilities are highly appreciated by Tigard's residents and the City is
committed to their adequate provision. Statewide Planning Goal 8 requires
Oregon jurisdictions to plan for recreational needs and this becomes especially
important as the City, begins to approach full development.
"To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and,where
appropriate,to provide for the siting of recreational facilities,including destination
resorts."
The community envisions a future where a wide variety of recreational oppor-
tunities is available through a diverse system of parks, trails, and open spaces.
This system would be distributed throughout the community and easily acces-
sible from all neighborhoods. It includes not only developed parks,but open
spaces to protect natural resources that the community holds in high regard.The
citizens also know that simply planning for and providing the opportunities is not
enough,but funding must be secure to properly manage and maintain the system.
The Tigard park system currently includes 169 acres of City parkland and 182
acres of greenway and other preservation-oriented sites. These figures equate to
3.7 acres of developed area and 4.0 acres of natural area per thousand residents.
Most of this park and greenway land is located within the floodplain. In addition
to parks and open spaces,Tigard has developed a successful trail program,
consisting of 9 miles of completed trails. These trails provide both recreation
opportunities and transportation links throughout the community. A major
source of parkland acquisition and development funds has come from the park
System Development Charge (SDC) on new development, first imposed in 1977.
The City does not sponsor a recreation program and is not served by a special
park and recreation district. The Tigard Park System Master Plan covers the city
proper and the unincorporated Urban Services Area. Subsequent to the master
plan's adoption in 1999, the City added 19.3 acres of parkland and 24.1 acres of
greenway. Because of population increases during the same period, the City's
existing level of service through 2006 held steady at 7.7 acres of public parks
and open space per thousand population.
Comprehensive Plan I City of Tigard 8-1
PARKS, RECREATION, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE
KEY FINDINGS
■ The system of adding parks and related land and facilities in the City has
kept up with growth in the seven years since the Park System Master Plan's
adoption in 1999 (7.7 acres/1000 residents),but has not achieved the Plan's
aspirational standard.
■ Many areas of the City are park deficient.
■ The land supply available for parks and open space is becoming smaller and
more expensive.
■ Given the level of development in Tigard, sufficient land for neighborhood
parks is unavailable to meet the needs of underserved residential and non-
residential areas.
■ Many non-City-owned lands and facilities serve the park and leisure needs
of Tigard residents.
■ The City lacks a trail master plan to guide the development of the trail
system and facilitate progress toward its completion.
■ The City has regulations in place that effectively provide for block links
and pedestrian connections in new neighborhoods. However,there
are significant gaps in the off-street pedestrian system within older
neighborhoods.
■ Citizen groups have identified a trail route within Northeast Tigard that
includes on and off street segments to connect with the City of Portland-
adopted SW Communities trail network. Citizens have proposed that this
route be considered for adoption into the Tigard trail plan.
■ The trail officially identified by Tigard as the "Powerline Trail" is a segment
of a larger inter-jurisdictional trail formally identified as the "Westside Trail"
in the Metro Regional Trails Map.
■ The City does not operate a recreation program and is not served by a
special park and recreation district. Consequently;Tigard residents have
limited opportunities to participate in recreation programs.
■ Overall, City parklands are well maintained. Maintenance problems identified
in the 1999 Tigard Park System Master Plan have been, or are being,
addressed.
■ The new Park SDC methodology sets a per-project percentage limit on the
use of SDC funds. Some 63% of the cost of park improvements is assigned
to non-SDC funding sources. At this time, the City does not have a stable
source of revenue that can be used as the companion funding source for
capital projects.
■ Many of the projects identified in the Parks SDC parks capacity program are
located in the Bull Mountain Urban Services Area and not within the City limits.
8-2 City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan
■ Tigard does not have a parks foundation. Such foundations provide local
governments with important additional programs to finance park and open
space projects.
■ The City has been proactive in working with the Tigard Water District for
the use of reservoir properties for open space. Partnership plans with the
school district for the renovation and joint use of school playgrounds to
meet neighborhood park needs have not
