(C-G), Commercial and Professional Commercial (C-P), R-12(PD), 3 MUR-1, and R-4S. The zone will also encompass seven properties adjacent to, but outside the URD-zoned CBD (PD) and R-12 (I'D.) The following chapters will be updated as they apply to the new zone: 18.120 Definitions 18.130 Use Classifications 18.310 Summary of Land Use Permits 18.745 Landscaping&Screening 18.765 Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements 18.780 Signs 18.795 Visual Clearance Areas 18.810 Street and Utility Improvement Standards 2. New code section: Tigard Downtown District Site and Building Design Standards and Objectives (18.610) The Tigard Downtown District Site and Building Design Standards Chapter is a new section of the development code. The chapter includes a map designating the four design sub-areas of die larger MU-CBD zone and their corresponding development standards (building height,setbacks,density,etc.) The chapter also includes building and site design standards,requirements for special areas and sites, and provisions for adjustments for specific conditions. The site and design standards are triggered when application for new development is made. Deleted section indicated by crosscuts. Sections added to existing chapters indicated by underlined and bold.

Sub-Areas:The four sub-areas located on Map 610.A and described below have different STAFF COMMENTARY setback and height limits in order to create a feeling of distinct districts within the larger zone. 1.Highway 99W and Hall Boulevard Corridor sub-area is intended to create a"pulse- point" along the Efighway 99W corridor. Located at the intersection of 99W and Hall Blvd.,the area has the high traffic and visibility to draw potential retail customers from the region.It will also serve the potential for future high capacity transit in the corridor. The area will accommodate higher levels of vehicular circulation, while maintaining a pedestrian scale at the ground-floor level of buildings. It would allow development of mixed use and retail buildings that could vary in scale from one-story retail-only buildings, to mixed use buildings up to eight stories tall with retail on the ground floor and residential and/or office uses above. 2.Main St.—Center St.:The sub-area is centered on the City's historic downtown Main Street.It is intended to be pedestrian oriented with smaller scale development that would function like a"traditional Main Street."A pedestrian environment would be improved with a continuous building wall broken only intermittently. New buildings in the sub- area must include ground floors with commercial storefront features. Residential and ` commercial uses are permitted on upper floors. 3.The Scofins St.—Commercial St. sub-area is intended to provide an opportunity for higher density residential as well as an employment base comprised of civic, office and commercial uses in the areas of Commercial Street and Scoffins. Residential only buildings,office/commercial buildings,and mixed use developments are all permitted. 4.The Fanno—Burnham St. sub-area provides an opportunity for medium scale residential or mixed use development.Compatible mixed-uses (live-work,convenience retail, office and civic uses) are encouraged on the frontage of Burnham Street. The area in proximity to Fanno Creek Park will be an opportunity to create a high quality residential environment with views and access to the natural amenity of Fanno Creek Park. Building heights will step down to three stories so as not to overwhelm or cast shadows on the park. 18 1 Proposed Downtown Tigard Code Amendments DRAFT 55.2 REVISED12130/09 Map 18.610.A -- - - -.
