INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to update the City of Tigard's parks systems development charges. Parks
systems development charges are assessed to new developments for the acquisition and development of
parks,greenways and paved trails. They are based on the cost of providing these services to new City
patrons. Besides the geographic area within the City boundaries,the report calculates systems development
charges for the City's Urban Services Area. The City's Urban Services Area includes the unincorporated
area within its urban growth boundary. It does not include the unincorporated portion of the Metzger area,
where the City presently does not provide urban services.
The city currently has a systems development charge for parks facilities. The method and derivation of the
charges are based on the November 19,1994"Park and Recreation Facilities Systems Development Charges"
by Economic Resource Associates,Inc.and JC Draggoo&Associates(1994 Report). Tigard has both a
residential and commercial parks SDC. The residential fee is based on the average number of persons(per
the 1990 U.S.Census)expected to live in a unit. The fee is$1,050 for single family development(2.70
persons per household),$660 per unit for multi-family dwelling units(1.70 persons per household),$540
per apartment(1.40 persons per household)and $740 per manufactured home(1.90 persons per household),
Additionally, the City currently assesses a parks SDC of$4.90 per employee for new commercial or
industrial development inside the City.These fees are based on a 1994 standard of 6.68 acres of park and
greenway land per 1,000 residents and 1.092 of recreation land per 1,000 employees.'
This report updates the financial,demographic and parks inventory information associated with the Tigard
parks and recreation facilities SDCs. Further,it revises the City's Interest Area definition used in the 1994

Report to incorporate only the City's adopted Urban Services Area. The methods used to derive SDCs in
this report remain the same as those approved by the City in 1994. The City relies on level of service(LOS)
standards to determine facility needs.The LOS standards are expressed in terms ofthe number of park acres
per 1,000 residents living and 1,000 employees working in the City and the Urban Services Area. The LOS
standards used to calculate facility needs are based on the City's and Urban Services Area's existing parks
inventory.The LOS standards are then applied to projected population and employmentio determine future
facility needs for the City and the City and Urban Services Area combined. SDC funded requirements are
calculated based on the estimated unit cost applied to the needed facilities. The total financial requirements
associated with future park needs are then assigned to employees and residents and apportioned to each 1,000
residents and 1,000 employees to derive the SDCs for the City and the City and Urban Services Area
combined. Simply put,the SDC is a fee to recover the cost of building additional parks for new residents
and employees at the same level as currently exists in the City or Urban Services Area. Consequently,the
SDC varies with the average number of people or employees expected from a development.
Based on our analysis of cost changes since 1994,additions to the City's park inventories,changes in City
boundaries and growth in population and employment,the City's SDC per single family development could
be increased to a maximum of$1,640 per unit. The other development types could also be increased in a
similar manner for the City to recover the full cost of new park development at the existing level of service
standard. Multiple family developments(includes attached single family units,such as raw houses and
townhouses)can be charged$1,030 per unit,apartments(includes apartment buildings and condom iniums)
$850 per unit and manufactured homes$1,150 per unit.
Since 1994,the City has also conducted an extensive study of its park system and needs by commissioning
a park master plan.2 Based on recommended standards for parks,the Master Plan provides a listing of-capital
improvement projects and other recommended projects that total almost$50 million to address ex ist;ng
recreational deficiencies and meet the needs of the City with its Urban Services Area(57,000 population)
through the year 2008. In this report,we will determine the financial impact on the City of adopting the
recommended standards and extending them to the Urban Services Area.

ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The 1994 Tigard Park and Recreation Facilities SDC report provided a detailed estimate of the acquisition
and development costs for each of five park types. We have adjusted these costs for land value and
construction price changes since 1994(Adjusted SDC Park Prices-Table 3).
The Washington County tax assessor tracks the average residential lot price for"improved home sites"for
each urban area in the County. The Tigard land prices have increased from$39,000 in 1994 to$75,660 in
2000. The average annual rate of land price increases is 11.68 percent. The land component of the 1994
park acquisition expense has been increased by this factor.
The most representative local pricing guide for Table 3
development costs is the Oregon Construction Cost Adiusted SDC Park Prices ver Acre
Index as determined by the Oregon State Highway Park T e Land Development
mhood $77,600
Department. The index monitors the bids offered NeiCohbormuni $110,509
$77,600 $153,013
for excavation, crushed rock, mixed asphalt, Pocket $77,600 $53,948
reinforcing steel, structural steel, and structural Linear $38,800 $28,295
concrete. The Department also provides a Greenwa s $38.800 $5,5501
composite index using all ofthese factors. Based on
the composite index,the cost of park development has increased at an average annual rate of 4.18 percent.
The 2000 estimated cost ofacquiring and developing parks is shown in Table 3.
We have compared the Adjusted SDC Park Prices to prices used in the Park Master plan. The prices used
in the Park Master plan result in overall park costs that are almost 55 percent higher than estimates using the
Adjusted SDC Park Prices. The reason for this is that the Master Pian assumes land acquisition at about
$225,000 per acre(four times as high as that assumed in the Adjusted SDC Park Prices). The Park Master
Plan assumes that commercial/industrial land will be acquired for park development. This SDC study
assumes only residentially-zoned land will be acquired. The latter assumption is consistent with the current
residential zoning designations of all existing parkland,except pocket parks.
a
+ We estimate that 70 percent of the Master Plan costs of$53 million dollars are associated with the
i
acquisition of park land. Development costs make up just 30 percent of the proposed program. Throughout
"r this report,we use Adjusted SDC Park Prices. However,should the Park Master Plan prices prove to be
more accurate,the SDCs shown in this report will need to be substantially adjusted to assure recovery of full
7 park acquisition and development costs from the growth sector.

PARK LAND INVENTORY
A generally accepted park planning practice is to categorize parks by type. The purpose is to assure that the
appropriate facilities are located according to function,impact and need.The park types applicable to Tigard
are defined in the Master Plan and are repeated for easy reference below.
Community Parks: Community parks provide a variety of active and passive recreational
opportunities for all age groups. These parks are generally larger in size
and serve a wider base ofresidents than neighborhood parks.Community
parks often include developed facilities for organized group activity as
well as facilities for individual and family activities.
Neighborhood Parks: Neighborhood parks are the foundation ofthe parks and recreation system,
providing accessible recreation and social opportunities to nearby
residents.When developed tomeet neighborhood recreation needs,school
sites may serve as neighborhood parks.
Pocket Parks: Pocket parks provide recreation opportunities for residents in areas not
adequately served by neighborhood parks,such as town centers or areas
of high density development.
Linear Parks: Linear parks may be developed along built or natural corridors to provide
opportunities for trail oriented activities and nature-oriented outdoor
recreation. Linear parks may also provide some active and passive
recreation facilities to meet neighborhood needs,especially in areas not
adequately served by traditional neighborhood parks. Linear parks
connect residences to major community destinations.
Greenways: A greenspace or greenway is an area of natural quality that protects
y valuable natural resources and provides wildlife habitat. It also provides
u opportunities for nature-related outdoor recreation,such as viewing and
~ studying nature and participating in trail activities.
H
H
Trails and Connectors: A public access route for commuting and trail oriented recreational
activities,including sidewalks,bikeways,multi-use trails and paths.

In addition to park land,current city residents have contributed directly to park purchases through parks
systems lelopment charges. Additionally,others have made contributions to build up the existing park
inventory. All of the contributed funds must be used for the purchase and development ofpark lands. Some
contributions have not yet been spent and some have been spent on park related costs(Cook Park design,
permit fees and wetland mitigation)but have not yet been added to the parks'inventory.These contributions.
or the parks that could be purchased with them, should be counted as part of the City's existing park
inventory. According to the City's financial records for 1998-99 and through 9/30/2000 ofthe current fiscal
year,the City has$854,624 on hand and has spent$736,026 on park improvements and related costs which

STANDARDS
The formula for computing SDCs includes as one of its variables the standards for developing parks,which
are normally expressed in acres per person(residents or employees). This report discusses several different
possible standards, including the standard adopted in 1994(Table 6), a modified standard based on the
additional population in the entire urban service area(Table 7),and a totally different standard based on the
ECONOMIC RESOURCE
Associates,/tic'.
City of regard
Park anz'Recreation System Development Charges Page 8
standard recommended in the Parks System Master Plan. Although the Parks System Master Platt has been
adopted,the standards set forth in the plan remain recommendations and not adopted standards.
With the adoption of the 1994 SDCs, the City adopted a method for computing parks and recreation
standards that recognizes that ennployees and residents both benefit from these facilities. The basic
assumption of the City's method is that people(whether residents or employees)have similar propensities
to recreate for each hour of available time. While the type of recreation might differ,the probability of
recreating remains relatively constant.
The City's approach is more conservative than that used by other jurisdictions. The City uses a more
detailed method of determining the available recreation time and specifically takes account of differences
in season, age ofthe population,and city residents working outside the city's boundaries. In addition,travel
time for both resident and nonresident employees from home to work is factored into the computations.

properties are enhanced by the proper provision of greenway spaces.
Using the City's previously adopted method,existing demographics and park inventory,the City's park and
recreation standards are shown in Table 6. Consequently,the City currently provides 7.2 acres of parks and
greenways for every 1,000 residents and 2.31 acres for every 1,000 employees.

An alternative method for developing City standards is detailed in the most recent Park System Master Plan.
In that document,the recommended City standard is based on a combination ofexisting,local(neighboring
jurisdictions)and National Recreation and Park Association standards. The Park System Master Plan sets
standards of 2.5 neighborhood park acres,3.5 community park acres and 5 acres of greenspace/greenways
for a total of I I acres per 1,000 residents. This is much more than Tigard's current service level.
PARK STANDARD CHOICE IMPLICATIONS
The city is free to adopt any park and recreation standard it chooses. The standard chosen has implications
on the amount of the systems development charge for both residents and businesses.Generally,the higher
the selected standard the more can be collected from new development.The recreation opportunities in the
City can be expanded at a more rapid pace.
Table 8 However,choice of a standard exceeding the City's
Adjusted Park Inventory Value current service level also has implications for
Park Type Land Developed Value current residents. Principles of equal treatment

excluded from parks and recreation facilities,both
current and new customers must provide for these
facilities in equal proportion. Thus,the adoption of a standard exceeding current service levels in the
creation of an SDC places a financial burden on existing businesses and residents.

In Table 8 we first calculate the value ofthe adjusted park inventory(includes adjustments for cash balances)
based on the park acquisition and development costs shown in Table 3 on page 5. The current value of the

In total,the value of the park system at Master Plan standards would be worth$57 million. As the City
invested$27 million and needed to invest$57 million to meet the needs ofthe current community,adoption
of the Park System Master Plan standards would creat an unfunded liability of just less than$30 million.
This liability cannot be charged to the growth sector. Current businesses and residents must bear it.
Should the City wish to adopt an SDC based on the Master Plan standards,the current park liability must
be addressed simultaneously. While the City does not have an obligation to immediately bring the parks up
to the adopted standards,it must have a reasonable and implementable plan for doing so. Without such a
plan,the SDCs could be challenged based on unequal tra-atment.

Considerably more work needs to be done regarding the financing of deficiencies before SDCs could be

PARK,GREENWAV AND TRAIL NEEDS
In the remainder ofthis report we assume the City will adopt an existing service level standard for parks that

UNIT COSTS
The combination of park standards,per acre costs for land and development and the anticipated units served
(resident or employee)form the basis for establishing the cost of providing parks for each unit of City
growth.
A weighted average of the development and land costs was used to compute the total cost of meeting the
City's parks standard. We estimate that on average,if will cost approximately$1 15,000 to buy and develop
the land for an average City park acre,$39,000 per acre of greenway and$145,000 per mile of paved trail.

The average City park cos;is computed by weighting individual park costs. Besides buying and developing
land for parks,greenways and trails,the City must periodically develop a plan for when to buy land,whet
types of parks are to be developed and the best location for the parks given anticipated development. We
estimate the cost of such a pian to be$66,000.

As shown in Table 13,it costs the City approximately$606 to acquire and develop parks and recreational
Opportunities for the average new resident. Close to$120 is needed for each new employee.We
conducted the same analysis for the City and Urban Services Area together. Because of the lowering of
park and recreation standards,the per unit costs are lower.

SYSTENis DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
Systems development charges are levied at the point of application for a uuilding permit. If the building
permit is for remodeling an existing business or dwelling,no systems development charge is assessed if
jthe remodel is not an expansion of the existing living or work space. Otherwise,for all business
remodels,new businesses and residential developments,a systems development fee is assessed based on
the number of people or employees who are expected to live or work in the space.

commercial development varies greatly with the
type of use. Thus,it is not possible to provide an
average as a guideline in the same manner as for the residential sector. Consequently,each permit
application for the expansion or new construction of business related space must be evaluated separately
for the number of employees who are expected to work within the space. The systems development
charge is then based on the determination of the total number of employees who will conduct business
within the proposed business space.

SDCs for five years and changes in Commercial-Per 10 Em to ees IL $1,090
the standards due to park purchases,
the City SDCs need to be increased
from their current level.
The method for calculating the SDCs has not changed since 1994. However,all of the underlying
information has been adjusted to bring it current. Depending on the boundary chosen for which the SDC
is to be charged,it costs the City between$1,640 and$1,400 for each average single family unit to
provide for parks and recreation.
ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
Land and development costs rise each year. The SDCs calculated in this report are based on 1994 prices
inflated to 2000 costs by using price indices. We have demonstrated that the application of the indices
can lead to realistic results. Consequently,we recommend that the City adjust the SDC fees annually.
The new fee should be determined by multiplying the existing fee by the average of two indices,one
reflecting change in development/construction and the other reflecting changes to lard acquisition costs.

The average of the two indices is a reasonable approach as the SDC fee is almost equally split between
land acquisition and development costs(the average Tigard park is 41 percent development and 59
percent land acquisitions).
The index for the land acq=isition component is the cost of residential tract land in Tigard as determined
by the Washington County Appraiser. The 2000 lot price used in this report is$75,660 and should be
used as the"base"of the land acquisition index in the first annual adjustment to the SDCs proposed in
this report.
The park development costs are adjusted by the Oregon Construction Cost Index that is available from
the Oregon Department of Transportation. We used the most recent period composite index to calculate
SDCs in this report(second period of 2000= 142.8). Consequently,the index value for this most recent
period becomes the"base"for the first annual SDC adjustment. The City can use either quarterly or
annual indices to make the adjustment. As can be seen from the entire series,quarterly values fluctuate
more dramatically due to the nature of the bid process.
