Box 23397 12420 S.W. Main, Tigard, Oregon 97223 Final Draft Report Environmental Design and Open Space Plan For Tigard a y, Planning Department City of Tigard July 27, 1977 i i Woe unto them that join house to house that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth ! " Isaiah 5-8 INTRODUCTION The roots of this document are planted in issues much broader than the title might suggest. In essence, it is a plan intended to preserve the natural characteristics and amenities of the Tigard Community, while simultaneously providing a sense of integrated community design. As a bonus for t1:is method of planning, a useable network of open spaces for recreation and relaxation is identified and permanently set aside. Growth in any community means a reduction of open space. Across the .--ration, houses are covering agricultural land, flood plains and wetlands are being filled and built on, and a multitude of unique natural features are being exploited. and lost forever. At the same time, growing popula- tions place an increasing premium on the preservation of these same re- sources. The loss of forest lands, scenic views, wildlife habitats, and increasing pollution addes emphasis to the need for preservation and con- servation of our valuable resources. These conflicts between growth and the environment are the result of the several components of urban development competing for the use of our land resources to suit their specific needs and desires. The basic conflict is between the individual land use rights and the broader inte- rest of the entire community. This is a major philosophical question for which there is rising pressure to resolve. Tigard and other local governments throughout the- land are confronted with this issue on a daily basis. The solution undoubtedly lies in the recognition of the necessity for maintaining an equitable balance between the government 's desire to protect the public interest and the individuals , business and corporation's wish to use his land as he pleases. .tea This Plan recognizes the value of the natural environment and attempts to establish the degree of respect due the land. This is accomplished through a process of using nature as the major guide to land development . In the following plan, nature ' s processes are used to determine policy direction to insure that continued development will be in harmony with the natural features of the community and in the best interest of all concerned. The Plan policies are presented in three major sections. The first section, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION, deals with natural processes (storm water runoff, erosion, etc . ) and subsequent physical limitations (flood plain, steep slopes, soil types, etc. ) . It also sets the framework for the sections two and three. Using environmental criteria, section one establishes construction and location controls for all types of development. Speicifc areas such as flood plains, steep slopes and natural habitats are categorized as non-developable and set aside as permanent open space. Section two, ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY DESIGN, augments these controls by offering community design criteria for the purpose of integrating development with the physical features of the area. These criteria are centered primarily on the appearance of a structure and its relationship to topography, natural vegetation and surrounding land uses. The thir:' :-section , PARKS AND RECREATION, completes the package by formulating policies and standards to guide the development of a system of parks and open spaces aimed at maximizing recreational opportunity and aesthetic benefit to community residents. The open space system proposed by this Plan was generated by using the lands designated (from section one) as environmentally unsound for construction as its founda- '2 tion. The majority of these unbuildable lands are along Fanno Creek and its tributaries and are referred to in the Comprehensive Plan as the Greenway System. In addition, the Greenway is augmented by specif- ic sites selected for their environmental uniqueness (e.g. , attractive- ness, historic value and/or recreational potential) . The individual components of the open space system are to be linked together, for optimum. accessibility, use and enjoyment, by means of a. 'network of pedestrian/bike paths. s Thus, the total package yields an integrated community design . The design ensures the continuance of natural cycles and enhances the visual attractivesness of the community. Simultaneously, the community bene- fits in several ways: Psychologically, through retention of essential natural features which daily remind the individual of the delicate thread connecting each person 's life to the natural order of things; Sociologicallfrom expanded recreational opportunity allowing diverse community participation in outdoor activites, and through a community design that promoies community identity ; Persoiwi ly, from increased health and safety derived from reduced air pollution (e.g. , natural air purification of trees) and minimized potential for damage to property or loss of human life, caused by natural hazar,?s such as flooding and land slides ; And Economically, through efficiencies in supplying public services (police, fire, water) to a unified area, and from an enhanced city image promoting increased property values and attracting new employment in the form of commerce and industry. 3. THE TIGARD COMMUNITY PLANNING AREA The City of Tigard, once a,farming community, is now essentially a residential suburb of Portland, It is situated in the southeast portion of Washington County abutting portions of western Clackamas and Multno- mah Counties. However, in order to accommodate expected growth and to give consideration to areas directly influenced by the city, the plan area boundaries were drawn outside the actual city limits (see map p. ) • The plan area is served by three major transportation routes, Pacific Highway, Highway 217 and Interstate 5. Two rail lines also serve the area. PHYSICAL SETTING Tigard is located at the lower end of the Fanno Creek Drainage Basin which empties into the Tualatin River at the city 's southern boundary . This location makes flooding a particular community concern which this plan addresses. However, while Fanno Creek poses the threat of periodic flooding, it also offers the natural asset of a relatively undeveloped and heavily vegetated meandering course through the center of the community . This feature becomes even more attractive when the tributary streams are added, as they flow between gently rolling hills often covered with significant stands of timber. The major topographic relief in the plan area is in the western portion in the form of Bull and Little Bull Mountains. EJevations within the plan area range from 500 feet near the top of Bull Mountain to 110 feet at the Tualatin River. DEVELOPMENT PATTERN : Since the early 1950's the community has undergone, at an increasing- ly rapid rate, a transformation from rural to suburban land use. Develop- ment was uncontrolled and unplanned until the adoption of the 1971 Tigard 4 . Community Plan. The Community Plan was the city ' s first attempt to counteract the unsightly strip commercial and disjointed residential sprawl of the 1960' s. Fortunately, since the Community Plan , more attention has been given to aesthetic design . Nevertheless, Tigard is left with an undesireable scar of strip commercial development along Pacific Highway. Early development also exploited the natural amenities of the community, inefficiently consuming land with little regard for F natural processes or recreational space. The land use map (P. ) shows the majority of the commercial activity being centered on Pacific high- way with increasing development along Highway 217 and Hall Boulevard. The more intensive industrial uses occur west of Interstate 5, along 72nd Avenue and follow the Burlington Northern and Southern Pacific railroad tracks. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT While scattered throughout the plan areas, is primarily west of Hall Blvd. and southwest of Highway 217. Multi-family units are generally located along major arterials, concentrated on Hall Boulevard, Pacific Highway, reenburg. There eight schools located within the plan area. Among these there is ( i ) high school, (2) junior high schools and (5) elementary schools. Tho school district also owns additional land for future school sites. The City of Tigard presently owns six park sites (63.12) acres) , some of which are not developed. With a present population of 15,400 there is approximately 4.1 acres of park land per 1000 people in the plan area (excluding useable school property) . The City also has an addi- tional 86.13 acres of land dedicated by various developments for public � fG %' r-- fJ✓ 5. 7 i EE use. Much of this land lies in the fl.00d plain , and is suitable for E paths and non-intensive recreational use. In spite of some negative circumstances, resulting from past a development, Tigard has numerous advantages which, if properly addressed, allow for a smooth recovery from its unplanned history. First on the list of positive attributes is the topography. The rolling terrain effectively hides the majority of Tigard's development. From I-5 relatively little development is visible, only limited industry. For the most part, Highway 217 is below grade allowing only the very low areas along the highway to be seen . Most of these areas are presently { undeveloped. Pacific Highway is the primary problem from a community design standpoint . Even here, however, only the development directly adjacent the highway is in the usual line of vision from the street . Supplementary to the topography is the abundance of natural vegetation located throughout the community. This vegetation quite often screens development in lower areas that would otherwise be visible .from higher elevations. Besides the screening of present development, there still remains several large undeveloped tracts of land, many -of which are along Paci- fie Highway. Properly planned, 'development of these areas can greatly reduce the visual impact of- continued growth. In addition, there are strips of land in public rights-of-way that can be landscaped to improve community appearance. A strong planning commitment and community co- s t operation can be invaluable toward mitgating the mistake of the past while safeguarding the future. i SECTION ONE: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION Goal: To protect andromote P public health and safety, to regulate development in inherently hazardous areas and to preserve environmental quality. Even though Tigard has numerous ordinances and Policies controlling development, the policies in this plan were developed as if no controls were presently in existnece. This method was used to ensure a holistic approach to policy formulation, rather than a patchwork or bandage process. People and subsequently governments, face environmental problems as a result of activities that are either improperly located or otherwise contrary to natural processes. Nature offers a well balanced system of events; natural cycles. When these cycles are disrupted by human intervention, nature may react in an unforgiving manner. In terms of developing the land for human uses, there are certain Physical characteristics that limit the type and level of activity that can safely occur. . These characteristics are referred to as natural hazards or physical limitations. There are three major development limitations which exist in the plan area. They are: 1 . Flood plains and Wetlands 2. Runoff and erosion 3. Soil instability. .These are discussed in greater detail in the appendix. Even though these limitations to building are characteristically separate, they are linked through the interrelated natural processes that create them. These interconnections are directly related to the roles of: 7. 'a 1 . geologic deposits and processes 2. water and the hydrologic cycle f 3. soil properties 4 . slope 5. vegetation i s In order to minimize potential development hazards due to physical limitations and hazards, these interrelationships require a program of coordinated control, ensuring the balanced continuation of nature 's processes. PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS The physical features which form the make-up of any piece of land have a direct relationship to the type and density of development which can be accommodated on that property (carrying capacity) . Combinations such as steep slopes and unstable soils create severe development con- straints (appendix ) . Excessive development in such physically limited areas greatly increases the potential severity of landslide, --Rrthquake damage, flooding, etc. Policy 1. Designate areas of physicaZ Zimitation (poorly drained, seasonally flooded, ground instability) and incorporate these designations in ,ttN, city zoning ordinance and map, and develop graduated development restrictions according to the distinct characteristics of the con- straints and anticipated limitations. FLOOD PLAINS, WETLANDS AND RUNOFF/EROSION ,a d B. Often in the past , development has occured along streams and drain- Kgeways that are subject to periodic flooding. This reduces the natural capacity of the land to control runoff and erosion and consequently in- creases the potential for flooding during times of peak rainfall . Objectives: Using the detailed information gathered on flood plains, wetlands and areas of serious drainage problems, develop policies to: 1 . Control development, and encourage non-intensive uses, in these areas. 2. Minimize the runoff-erosion impact of development on the surrounding area and downstream properties . 3. Emphasize the retention of a vegetation buffer along streams and drainageways, to reduce runoff and flood damage and provide erosion control . In the process of evaluating the plan area for flood plains and wet lands, several informational problems were identified : 1 .' Discrepancies were found between calculated flood elevations and their demarcation on the official maps. 2. Vague delimitation of flood plains along Summer and Red Rock Creeks. 3. Lack and distinction between the floodway (area of fastest :stream flow) and the flood plain fringe. 4. T. ck of reliable hydrologic data regarding flood levels ::;petted from future development. In addition to these problems there is the issue of the cumulative effect of development upstream of Tigard. Flood levels in Tigard will be substantially determined by the controls exercised over development outside the plan area (see appendix ) . 9 Policy 2. The city shaZZ initiate a cooperative, inter,jurisdictionaZ water shed, storm drainage and flood plain management study of the Fanno Creek basin, and establish restrictive interim standards for development until sufficient data is available to set standards at identified s levels of adequacy. Interim standards shaZZ limit the rate of runoff and erosion caused by a development both during and at completion of construction, as well as development in all flood platin and wetZand areas identified in the physical inventory. The Fanno Creek drainage system includes numerous small water courses. The integrity of these natural drainageways is intrinsically connected to the system's capacity to reduce excessive runoff and subsequent flood levels. Often, however, developers alter these water courses to suit their development purposes, usually to provide more usable land. The resultant adverse impacts are detrimental to the entire drainage system. Policy 3. The City shalt restrict alteration of natural drainageways unless it can be demonstrated that the benefits are greater than the detrimental effects. Other ,jurisdictions in the Fanno Creek Basin shaZZ be en- couraged to do the same. Besides the basic need to control development in flo3d prone areas, it was found that public knowledge of flood plain hazards was lacking. Many of the obstructions previously placed in the flood plain were the result of either ignorance or overly optimistic attitudes about potential flooding problems. These obstructions (eg. Main Street Bridge) hinder the flow of high water and tend to increase flood levels. 10. Policy 4 . 7"ne city shall develop methods of removing and/or flood proofing major obstructions within the flood plain. The city should also consider methods of educating the public regarding the flood platin. Vegetation, without a doubt, (appendix serves an essential func- tion in the process of runoff and erosion control . Nonetheless, it is too often removed and replaced by buildings and asphalt . Policy 5. The City shaZZ adopt an ordinance to regulate ;,he removal and/or replacement of existing natural vegetation in designated areas (flood plains, drainageways, areas of high visibility, unique habitats, or rare species). Significant trees or stands of timber shall also be protected. Proper administration of the above policies relies heavily upon the availability of adequate information upon which to assess the environmental impacts of a project. The development, which creates the need, should be responsible for providing the city with the necessary data for making sound decisions. The burden,after all , is on the applicant to prove that the project will not adversely affect the environment or create undue future liabilities for the City. Policy 6. Require a site development report (eg., hudroZooy soils, ueoZogy) for major projects in designated areas; and a statement reflecting methods to be .used to minimize th- runoff erosion impact of the development on the sourrounding area and downstream propc,rties.

Both aspects are of equal import- ance. Good architectural deiign is necessary to provide visual variety and allow for individual identity. At the same time, good community design provides a sense of unity with other development while eliminating nflicting appearances. Policy 9. In order to realize a sense of integrated comnranity design, the design review ordinance shall be modified to include specified Zandscape objectives, emphasizing the incorporation of natural veaetation and unique topographic featza-cs in site design. Careful consideration should also be given to the 3600, 3 dimensional impact of a site and structure design. In considering the overall character of the community , it is i.,iportant Lo look to the past . As a community develops it should not discard its ;past for the sake of the future. Historic features provide a link w7th t1a past and add character and variety to the community ' s design. Unfortunately, much of Tigard 's heritage has already been lost to development with only a few distinct structures remaining. There have been some extensive efforts by local citizens to document the history of Tigard for the enjoyment of future generations. These efforts should be supported. 14.

The City should encourage owners of large vacant, p»ime and univue aa- ricuZturaZ, lands or rood lots to retain: them in their present use. Another resource issue than can be related to community design is the extraction of sand and gravel deposits which are found in the plan area. For the most part , this resource is scattered in small deposits. Some, however, may be of sufficient size and quality to warrant future extraction. The manner in which these areas are exploited and especially rehabilitated after extraction has both environmental and design implications. However, the environmental concerns can be addressed through proper design criteria. Policy 12. If natural resource extraction is determined to Ge ,7easib7e, the Cita shaZZ develop extraction and re?zaoilitation standards to minimize environmental problems and conflicts with adjacent land uses. 16.

Policy 15. New developments shall be responsible for runding their share of nee. parks, based on an established acreage standard. The City shall, however, seek additional fur.^s t:=ot:gh public sources such as special levies and grants. Policy lb. Developers shall be given a 'choice of optional ti•.eys to pro- vide open space based on the established park acreage stand- ard. They can either: 1. Contribi:te to the systems development fund in proportion to the established park acreage standard. 2. Develop a portion of an existing park equivalent to the par'; acreage standard for their project. 3. Develop a new park on site subject to the approval of the City. iiensity bonuses should also be considered for open space provided, which exceeds the park acreage requirements; but shall be granted -c-- cording to the standards established by the separate neighborhood plans. Community Schools Tigard School District 23J owns large tracts of land within the plan area, 'some of which are slated for future development to meet increased demands. Schools are public facilities, and their buildings consume considerably less than the total acreage available. They also provide many recreational facilities such as gymnasiums, tennis courts, etc. For these reasons, they are an obvious source of additional open space and recre;-+ �-pial opportunity. Policy 17. The City shall work toward establishment of a c^operative arrangement with the school districts (community schools program) to ensure provision of adequate year round rec- reational programs and facilities, and to eliminate 1.1.*1- necessary overlap of facilities. 27. 3eycnd :av'.nC a ::^<:ate s'upp1y Cf 1.., ! r- -2 1 b1.e, er, is a neess 1`-- crnlinual Parks 2 ire .,=- t as the `•'-+_ for space increase. ___ cenjurcticn with _ rovidlnF_ fa--4L!--"ties there is mo,matinr pressure =cr t pro 's±.=n cf yea-.ea- . , .,;:':G recrcatic_nal ac "- ' Un_`ortunately-, the present city staff does not have time to e:rcte to parkdevelgpment and :eC:Eat10Y121 program, Yla:�.1.^_0. =herefore . it is important that adecuate st-affins be pr cvided tcassist the i=arl: Board in the tap of ccordinatyng the plannIn and devel^.pment off' the, City' s Park and recreation program.

Pedestrien/ricycle Pathways Cne o-f the most important factors to a successful park system is safe and convenient access to the various park sites. The Cit;; cur- rently has a Pedestrian_/Bikepath Plan (adopted in 1974.) but path construction has been slow and seriously underfunded. This plan rc-- emphasizes the need for the paths and recommends the system be prc- vided in the following manner. :'alloy 18. safe and convenient pedestrian/bike routes shall be provided throughout the community. All major street construction or improvements shall be coordinated with the cc=unity pedestr an/ bicycle path plan and facilities provi:?ed. r;licy % -bil eOatL: COr:StrUC ti O:: fu?7d s�iOtild be sou=,ht. 3olicy. 22.-• In areas vLhere a path is routed through or adjacent to a residential area, the path and/or the buildings in he area should be situated in a manner to provide natural surveillance of the path. The number of entry points to the path should also be limited in these areas. In addition, it is recommended that. a pathway and bridge be constructed allowing the linkage of Cook Park to Tualatin Park in the City of Tualatin. This would conform to the parks plan prepared by the City of Tualatin_. It would also increase the potential for state and/or federal funding of such a project. P.P.CO--END~D IT-MIE'VIENTATION i ASt;pFS The most important element of this plan is a reasonable and effecitve method of implementation. It is not uncommon for well in- tended park, and open space plans to be relegated to collecting dust on a shelf due to a lack of sound proposals for "Land acquisition, and development. In addition, plans proposing strong implementation devices can fail in public hearings or as a result of court challenges because they may be judged inequitable and/or arbitrary in their :-annex of collecting fees and distributing benefits. The major problems identified in other system_- vh4Lch have failed in court or through administration are: . 1. No reasonable/direct connection between Vnere money is sr,?nt and where it is collected; no benefit to those who pay. 2. Ari-litrary site selection after money is collected. 3. Lacw of equitable participation in payments, especially deal- ing with multi-family units versus sincle-family, and arbitrary level of fee accessed. r 4. ' Legal challenges due to excessive -front-end costs to developers. 29. t_�'A -.. .'Cc .0 _..S'..:'A Z "rE'c.ry and charges are -_o` i-^led.

NEEORANDUI,i 26 July 1977 TO: WCCLS Coordinator FROM: Tigard Head Librarian SUBJECT: Application for grant I . Objectives: A. To improve service to patrons. B. To facilitate traffic flow. C. To create an entry area that is interesting and inviting. D. To efficiently utilize limited working areas. II. Plans for Implementation: A. Remove processing activities from the circulation area. B. Create an area with easy access to current newspaper and magazines without impeding traffic flow or interfering with circulation activities. C. Set aside a special area for displaying unusual and special books which will create user interest and appreciation. D. Organize processing activities so as to minimize and conceal the clutter and disarray which normally accompanies these tasks and increase productivity. III . Discussion: At present the entry room into the library (approximately 600 so . ft. ) serves the circulation and processing activities as well as shelving for some fiction, new magazines, all records and cassettes. The presence of shelved fiction causes congestion by browzers and crowds the room. These shelves will be moved soon. This will give space for a badly needed area where users may read newspapers and magazines without impeding the traffic flow. There will be room also for information displays, a program we are trying to enlarge, as well as space for a special display case. Processing tasks are now carried out behind the circulation desk, .creating congestion and detracting from the general appear- ance of this important service area. Likewise, the conversation and movement at the circulation desk interferes with the process- ing activities. If processing tasks can be performed in a separate area with appropriate scrtcning and furnishings, it will be possible to organize the tasks so that service in both activities will be more efficient and the general appearance of both areas will be improved. Tigard Public Library has the reputation for being low-key, friendly and service oriented. Appropriate furnishings in this entry room will help preserve that reputation and improve service to a community that supports its library. IV. Materials required: A. Circulation area -- S1480 1 . Sectional charging desk--will require less space than the present desk which was not designed for library usage, ha Jing poor shelving and drawer placement. B. Processing Area - $400 1 . Deak--none at present. 2. Typing table--to replace dilapidated one. 3. Shelves--will provide proper storage of work materials and create better work flow. 4. . Book truck--will simplify handling quantities of books. C. Newspaper/magazine Area - $325 1 . Magazine display rack--present one is inadequate. AF:plicatica'. for grant - 2 2. Table and chairs (2)--for readers. D. Display Area - $595 1 . Display case--none at present. 2. Information rack--present one too flooring has been repaimedlseveral and makeshift. times E. The entry area and is unsightly and unsafe unless covered. Presently three easily soiled (donated) remnants of carpeting are being used. Estimated cost - $200 to cover bad areas.
