TIGARD PLANNING CO?,i-tISSION
January 16, 1979 - 7:30 P.bJ.
Fowler Junior High School - Lecture Room
10865 S.W. Walnut Street a Tigard, Oregon
Docket: Zone Change ZC 28-78 (Ames Orchard #2)
Applicant: Hazeltree Development, Inc.
Owner: Elsie Ames
Location: 12235 S.W. Bull Mountain Road, north slope of Bull Mountain, south of S.W.
Gaarde Street at 121st (Wash. Co. Tax Map 2S1 JOBB, Tax Lot 600).
Request: For a zone map amendment from Wash. Co. R-30 to City of Tigard "Suburban
Low Density" (three dwelling units per gross acre) on a 12.5 acre parcel.
I. Findings of Fact:
1. The site is designated "Suburban Low Density" on the NPO #3 Plan.
Applicable policies from the plan are as follows:
Policy 4. (page 13): Protect the existing subruban character of this
portion of the Neighborhood from encroachmen'. by higher density
developments. The maximum overall density o:. development will be
3 dwelling units or 9 persons per gross acre. A higher density of
4 units or 12 persons per gross acre is a possibility within an
approved planned unit development.
Policy 5. (page 14) : Residential subdivisions will be developed with
paved streets, curbs and gutters, street lights and walkways.
according to City of county standards. All utilities will be placed
underground.
Policy 6. (page 14) : Development will coincide with the provision of
public streets, water and sewage facilities. These facilities shall
be (a) capable of adequately serving development and (b) designed
to meet City or county standards.
2. The applicant intends to subdivide and develop 14 lots, each lot having
not less than 30,000 square feet (see attached Ames Orchard #2 narrative) .
In keeping with the number of units per acre in the NPO #3 Plan
(3 ::nits per gross acre) and deducting 20% for public right-of-way
improvement; the site is capable of constructing 15.93 units, Therefore,
the applicant is 1.93 units below the maximum use.
3. The site is vacant with differential terrain elevations ranging from 4-8
percent slopes that decends southeast and northeast creating a natural
drainageway adjacent to the subject site east. The surrounding •land
uses are single family (large lots) to the south, north, east and
agricultural open space areas with single family units to the west. The
proposed development will be a continuation of the Hazeltree Subdivision
approved, by the County adjacent to the south,

4. Sanitary sewer would ;have to be extended from an existing ten inch
line anproxinat,�,ly 4U0 feet west in Gaarde Street. The line in S.W.
Gaarde is of adequate capacity to facilitate the proposed density.
Water service is available from the Tigard GIater District from either
a six inch line in S.W. Gaarde of a 12 inch line in Pacific Highway,
both of which are adequate to serve the development.
5. The site will be in the path and intersected by the proposed 135th
alignment to be constructed as a collector street from the present
northwest 135th to the southeast connection of Bull b;ountain Road.
Policy 2" (page 26) : That the collector streets within the Neighborhood
(Gaarde, 121st, and Walnut and excluding Bull Mountain Road and
Beef Bend Road) be developed as two lane facilities with restricted
parking. in the process of improvinq these streets, every effort
will be made to minimize the adverse impacts of street widening on
adjacent houses.
Ii. Conclusionary Findings:
1. This zone change request conforms to the policies and intended land use
development of the NPO 143 Plan.
2. There is an idcntifLEd public need to provide a zoning designation
to parcels in the Tigard City Limits.
3. The Community Transportation Plan will benefit from the development of
this parcel with the construction of a portion of 135th collector.
4. The proposed subdivision will contribute to the comparable land use
residence in the area.
III. Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions:
1. That Hazelhill Drive street standards be contiguous with the existing
Hazelhill Road (this will require a variance by the Planning Co:--Ussion.)
2. All other streets within the subdivision are to be City of Tigard street
standards.
3. That a letter from County of Washington be submitted verifying the
alignment of the future 135th extension through the Ames Orchard 42
Subdivision.
4. Street plugs must be emplaced for all subdivision streets that are to
align with future streets.
S. That ten feet of right-of-way along the adjacent lots to S.W. Gaarde
Street be dedicated to the City, and that the applicant sign an agreement
not to remonstrate against the improvement of S.W. Gaarde Street.

of Agenda 5.1. The President explained the desirar'..lity of proceeding as
rapidly as possible with the agenda, notwithstanding the usual printed
statement that public hearings commence at 8:00 P.M. Mr. Shewmaker stated
he was interested in what action had been taken and was told, whereupon he
appeared satisfied and left.

Zone Change Narrative
AM.ES ORCHARD NO. 2
1. Nature of Proposal
This proposed subdivision of 12,5 acres is a revision
of the original proposal (Hazeltree Hill) submitted
in December of 1976 and approved on December 14, 1976
by the Planning Commission.
The original preliminary plat provided for the sub-
division of 35.5 acres of land into 37 single family
lots with an average size in excess of 35,000 square
feet, utilizing public sewer and water. Only 23 lots
have proceeded to final plat.
This preliminary plat of 14 lots completes the area
included on the original preliminary plat. The plan
includes a short segment of the proposed S.W. 135th
Street extension.
Following submittal to Washington County, Ames Orchard
No. 2 was annexed to the City of Tigard. Washington
County zoning was R-30, which conforms to the requested
R-30 zone of the City.
2. Conformance
The development plan calls for residential, and the
proposed zone change conforms to this designation.
Current zoning on the parcel is R-30, which specifies
a minimum lot size of 30,000 square feet. The proposed
use exceeds this minimum.
The proposed land use is in conformance with the resi-
dential land use called for by the R-30 zone which
states as its purpose:
To provide for and protect low density residential
property for those families who desire to live in
this type of single family dwelling environment.
This district is designed to be used in areas pro-
viding semi-urban services.
7
The proposed land use also conformstothe require-
` ments of the current zoning and the Comprehensive
Plan section on "Quality of Life - A Regional Respon-
sibility";

3. Communit% Need
Public need for the development of. this property to
30,000 to 40,000 square foot lots can be demonstrated
in two wayso
a) There have been many parties who have expressed a
desire to live in the Bull Mountain Area on large
lots. These inquiries and requests have been made
to the developer relating to phase I.
t
b) The need for this kind of development 2inOthis
area has also been demonstrated by a
vote
(36-0 including unofficial votes) in favor Off the � -

original plan for this site at the May u
meeting of C.P.O. #4 (Tigard, Metzger, BBull Mountain) . {{
t..
4. Potential Impact
No change in zoning or Comprehensive Plan is actually
being requested. Therefore, we feel the impact is only
the minimum anticipated when the area was designated
�,.
residential by the Comprehensive Development Plan.
However, direct social and physical environmental
approving the proposed subdivision would .
impact of pp t
be a potential of 14 families added to the community
nd quasi-public services.
and their needs for public a '
5. Site SuitabilitY
It is not known if there are other sites available
for this kind of development. Howvr, itis
known
that the public has indicated a specie
e) The Property Values.
As this land is already zoned R-30, the value
of the property will only be increased by the
improvements constructed. Raw land value will
only be slightly increased by approval of pre-
linimary plat.
q?
f) Needs of Economic Enterprise.
t
This development would add 14 families to the area
and would have minimal impact on services avail-
able to the area now.
8. Natural Resources.
This development will have no effect upon natural
resources with the exception of the loss of those
filbert trees to be removed because of street,
undergound utility, and housing construction.
There is a sincere desire by the applicant to
retain the trees on the site to enhance the
building sites. ,
7. Impact of Services Necessitated
- t
Since the proposed zone is in conformance with the
existing zone and will acid only 14 families to the
area, the impact upon public services will be minimal. &

e
in this location and, in particular, this property.
Considering that this property is zoned R-30 (a zone
peculiar to the Bull Mountain Area) , we would have
to compare to other properties zoned RS-1. We feel
that this property is unique for its proposed use
considering location, surrounding uses, slope of
land, and existing orchard on the site.
6. Impact of Proposed Develcjpment
a) Characteristics of the Area.
This area is low density urban, which the resi-
dents of the area are concerned with maintaining.
The property slopes 10%-20% to the Northeast corner
with a Swale cutting across the parcel diagonally
3 from the Southwest corner to the Northeast corner.
There has been a need for the proposed use which
has been expressed by the high demand for the lots
in phase I.
b) Suitability of the Area for Proposed Use of Development.
The slope of the land on this property is con-
ducive to the large lot, large home concept.
The existing swale will be relocated to lot lines,
treet areas, and piped underground
picked up in s
where necessary.
c) Land Uses and Improvements in the Area.
The area to the West is developed, approximately
30,000 square foot lots with relatively large
homes. The area to the North is undeveloped but
zoned RU-4. The area to the East is basically
undeveloped with sparse housing in the South cor-
ner. The area to the South is developed as phase I
The proposed development conforms to the surrounding
situation, blending in with existing lot and
housing types.
d) Trends in Land Improvement.
,..., ent which ch t,as taken place in the area has
LCV Clv�✓aucaa�. n+.�.+
been virtually all custom homes on individually
developed lots. It is an area of high-income
families having large homes, mixed with some
farmhouse and small farm residences.
