This project is designed to serve the needs of the employees no) in the area and those that the Tigard Comprehensive Plan forecasts to be in this area in the future. The basic objective of this development isto provide these employees with os and services that are Rresentlprovided i op imal manner. tie have discussed the public need and viability of the facility in great detail in the preliminary approval phase, so we feel compelled to summarize them only briefly here. We are proposing a center for the employees of this area who are presently forced to travel long distances for basic goods and services or to purchase them at higher prices than a retail chain store would require. Of the three facilities we are proposing, a restaurant, a bank, and a grocery, none is presently within a mile of this area. Another public need in this area that is equally urgent is the ML,rove_ ment of this -inia_rsection. The present business traffic on this corner is hazardous. autos—are often parked two deep on either side of the road and enter the traffic flow almost blind. By internalizing the business traffic flow as shown in the drawing, this situation will be totally alleviated. �. As we have mentioned, this area is scheduled for industrial development and by providing such a facility, the present and ever increasing (� number of employees in the area will have an alternative to their t reliance on the automobile. In other words, this facility can help the city hold the line against increasing amounts of traffic flowing to disparate points in the city. By enhancing the attractiveness of this area for business location, the project will aid in the filling in process of one industrial area before encroaching on open space in other parts of the city. The tax base will be greatly enhanced while requiring negligible additional demands on community services. r With the business traffic at this intersection internalized, the non- business on business traffic along Boones Ferry Road and 72nd Avenue will enjoy smoother, more rapid travel. i k There is little that can be said for the consideration of alternative sites. The project is specifically designed for this particular area, There are no Planned Development Zones which offer the same level of F convenience for the employees in this growing, industrializing area. �< Therefore, 'an alternative site will not.fulfill the objectives we have delineated in detail for this project. On the other hand, if this facility is allowed to be developed, important goals and objectives of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan can be met. Conformance with the plan can be broken down into three areas: general plan conformity, commercial area plan conformity, and neighbor- hood commercial plan conformity. Community Goal #5 is "the convenient location of shopping and business facilities with respect to their market areas." The project is specifically designed to meet a need that is presently lacking in the area - the provision of b sic, everyday goods and services to employees in the immediate vicinity. :'Onnie's Grocery" provides only the most rudimentary supplies at prices that are not competitive. There is no bank closer than central Tigard or central Tuaiitin, nor are there any restaurants where employees in this vicinity can feasibly travel on their lunch hour. This facility, at this location will provide a service center, convenient to its market area and thereby help reduce dependence on the automobile. Community Goal #6 is "the encouragement of the filling in of open space for commercial or industrial uses." The proposed facility will aid in accomplishing this goal both directly and indirectly. Directly, the project will fill in immediately relatively vacant land with commercial uses. Indirectly, by enhancing the area from a business viewpoint, prospective commercial and industrial businesses seeking a place to locate in the Tigard area can be expected to find this area more attractive than other locations where this group of services is not as conveniently available. There is much to recommend this location and facility from the stand- point of the goals and objectives which the Tigard Comprehensive Plan outlines for commercial uses in general. Conflict between the safe and efficient movement of shopper traffic and through traffic on two major streets will be minimized. Parking facilities will be totally internalized. In this way, shopper and pedestrian traffic are removed from the traffic flow on Boone's Ferry Road and 72nd Avenue. The perpendicular angle and length of the driveways will insure that traffic moving in and out of the flow on these two major streets will be convenient and safe. Another important policy of the plan, regarding commercial areas in general is the discouragement of disorganized patterns of unrelated uses. This is exactly the kind of land use pattern we propose to replace. The present land uses on the space involved is neither attractive nor interrelated in its use patterns. We have repeatedly stressed the interrelationships of the proposed uses with each other i and to the surrounding neighborhood. Moreover, the architectural style will be harmonious with and complimentary to the styles of the surrounding buildings. This consideration is another important objective of the plan regarding general connercial areas. The developer has willingly subjected the pro- ject to the high building and landscape design recommendations of the plan. A concept closely paralleling our proposed project is the "neighbor- hood convenience center". Four policies and standards are recommended for these centers and the proposed project is in compliance with all four. These centers are only to be allowed as Planned Developments. This is recommended to promote the flexibility and innovative. design that will be incorporated in our development. Such centers are to be located at least one mile from centers offering similar goods and services. A center that fairly well duplicates our proposed project is Tigard Square. The location we propose is just over one mile from this facility. The development of such parcels is to coincide with the provision of adequate public utilities and facilities. The project design has allowed for the proposed improvement and widening of the two intersecting streets although these improvements are questionable at this time. Further we are in the process of negotiating an expansion of the Tigard Water District to insure water quantity and quality sufficient for all needs of the development. We are also exploring the possibility of expanding F: sewer facilities should this become necessary. In conclusion, we would like to mention only briefly the matter of deviations from the code requirements. The few that do exist, specifi- ally the setbacks, were painstakingly worked out with the Tigard Planning Commission staff. These efforts resuited in approval by the Tigard Planning Commission in the Preliminary Approval Hearing of October 19, 1976. These deviations have therefore been approved by both staff and the commission. r ,f �' `-�,.�'► t�� DEVIATIONS FROM THE UNDERLYING M-3 ZONE We are proposing two Lofor the development which are not permitted either outright or conditionally in an M-3 Zone; the retail commercial and branch bank. It is our understanding that one of the major purposes of the P.D. Zone is the promotion of innovative design and functions. For this reason we have chosen to regard the underlying zone as more or less definitive in terms of such zoning requirements as setbacks, parking and loading require- ments and access and egress requirements because, -in our opinion these requirements form the basis for the assurance of quality development through the zoning process. On the other hand, there is no inherent ."compatibility formula" for various combinations of uses. Rather, the compatibility of uses with each other and their surroundings is an issue that may logically be decided on a case by case basis. In the preliminary plan approval phase we dealt at length with the integral part each of the proposed uses is to play in our overall concept. Because this combination of uses will further what we perceive as the "spirit" of the P-D concept- and because, in this specific instance, they are compatible and in fact complimentary with each other and their surroundings, we do not feel that the question of use restrictions that might normally be imposed by the M-3 zone is compelling. Regardin sWaico , at one point, specifically the far south corner of the proposed remmercial building, the setback is 20' rather than the required 301. This setback is the result of positioning the building in such a way as to provide a safe and convenient circulation pattern as well as .the economically required amount of floor space. This setback includes an easement dedication to provide for the future widening of'Boone's Ferry Road, -r The adverse impacts that could occur because of this deviation are minimal. The overriding question is that of visibility. This deviation is 50' from the existing centerline of Boone's Ferry Road and located on .a straight stretch of that road about 170' from the intersection. The driveway at this corner is perpendicular Jo Boone's Ferry Road. A setback of 20'. wi11 allow complete visibility of the road by vehicles in the driveway. Further ,, these vehicles will be completely visible to vehicles on Boone's Ferry.- Road. As we have said, the= closest intersection is 170' away. This.is 140' greater than the minimum required distance between curb cuts and-.intersections. 4. Another setback Gondideration concern=_ the proposed widening at S.111. 72nd Avenue. Presently, the site design provides for 40' setbacks rather than t the required 30' . However, when the proposed widening of this road is com- pleted, this setback would be cut to 20' . One of the reasons behind requir- ing a 30' setback in the M-3 zone is to provide for parking for normal k business operations. The facility we propose will internalize all its parking so that such a wide setback is not required. Visibility will be no problem for much the same reasons we developed regarding the setback on the south end of the other building. The driveway is still long enough to provide complete visibility of vehicles in the driveway and on the road and it is removed from the intersection a distance of several times that required by the zoning ordinance. A safety feature relating to these setback questions relates to the clientele and purpose of this development which we have discussed at length. Unlike many other commercial developments, this one does not and will not rely on driveby traffic. Because the development will be an explicit trip goal rather than a secondary stop, there will be little need for advertising styles that might otherwise distract drivers along this thoroughfare. Secondly, because this facility will be used primarily by the employees in the area the clientele will be familiar with the site. In other words, there will not be the searching for entrances and exits that frequently causes congestion around some commercial centers. The third deviation from the underlying zone is that the norther etback are less than required. Specifically, the northeast building is set .a ck 10' while the building on the northwest corner is set back 16' . They should C be discussed separately. k As we understand the primary the primary concerns of side or rear yard set- backs as aesthetic quality and the provision of light and air. As shown on the plan the setback strip between the property line and the northeast build- ing will be landscaped and otherwise maintained in an attractive manner. As for the issue of adequate light and air, we do not feel them compelling. The present plans do not envision windows on the north side of this building so that light and air are not considerations for the residents. We further foresee the need for pedestrian ways along this side of the building so that light and air for those outside the building is not a consideration. Finally we are aviare the required width of access/egress driveways is 30` while ours are 24'. We point out that the requirement for 30' access/ ' egress drives is premised on the concept of bi-directional flow. Since two of our driveways will be-uni-directional and the third will be utilized solely for service this offsets what might otherwise be considered losses of safety or convenience. `s By way of conclusion we feel that any list of code deviations would be C S incomplete without listing those that are above the code requirements. 1. While the width of the driveways may be slightly under code the number is far above the code. While the code requires only one driveway for 1-99 parking spaces we have provided three. Moreover our driveways will be 100% surfaced rather than the required 80% and they will be pro- vided with curbs and landscaping though neither are required. 2. While the setbacks for the commercial uses are less than code requirements our setback for the use that is per se industrial , the ware- house, is 52' rather than the required 20'. 3. Although there are no specific requirements for landseaping in either the commercial M-3 or P-D zones we have volunteered to landscape 21%. Moreover we are landscaping the side yards as well as the front yards although this is not required in any of these zones. 4. While the allowable building height is three stories, no structure will be more than one. 5. The code makes no explicit recommendations about allowable lot coverage we are developing less than one-third with the remainder open space with attractive landscaping. The most important consideration is the replacement of a hazardous, economically inefficient intersection with an innovative development, both aesthetically and financially attractive to the co� �unity. This assertion can be borne out by simple observation of the situation around Connie's Grocery at quitting. The cars can frequently be seen parked two and three deep on both sides of the road and must shoot into the intersection almost blind. Further, there are no pedestrian ways nor aesthetic considerations provided by the present uses. This.situation should be compared to the proposed design and artist's concepion. Financial attractiveness can be seen easily enough by comparing the'present value of the property with the future value of a development such as the one we are proposing. 1- Ji r ADDENDUM i l We should like to submit, at this time, the following evidence of the applicant's compliance with the conditions of approval outlined in the letter of October 21 , 1976 to the applicant, George Killian, from Richard Daniels, Associate Planner. 1 .
