ROLL CALL Council Present: Mayor Jerry Edwards; Councilors Valerie Johnson, Joe Kasten, and Jack Schwab. Staff Present: Patrick Reilly, City Administrator; John Acker, Associate Planner; Ken Elliott, Legal Counsel; Ed Murphy, Community Development Director; Liz Newton, Community Relations Coordinator; Catherine Wheatley, City Recorder; and Randy Wooley, City Engineer. WORKSHOP SESSION 2. COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING WITH PLANNING COMMISSION - TIGARD TRIANGLE DEVELOPMENT PLAN Planning Commissioners Present: Vlasta Barber, Vice President; Commissioners C Harold Boone, Judy Fessler, Wendi Hawley, Brian Moore, and Harry Saporta. Benkendorf Associate Consultants reviewed the work done on the plan to date. During the last four months, the Planning Commission, consultant and staff have been examining a wide range of development alternatives for the Tigard Triangle area. This examination has been based on a recognition that: The Triangle is an important part of the City. A new direction is needed to encourage development. Transportation and accessibility are important ingredients to the future of this area. The goal was stated as: Create a living and working environment not now available in the City that ' is urban in character and complementary to the rest of the community. Also reviewed were the following elements of the Triangle: Market assessment, site assessment, development plan, transportation, and development standards. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINU'T'ES - FEBRUARY 18, 1992 - PAGE 1 f The purpose of this meeting was stated as: ...To gain a consensus among the members of the Council and Planning Co -;-sion on the thrust of this program... After the presentation by the Consultant, the Council and the Planning Commission discussed the process to date on this project. There was concern about methodology and whether too much or too little detail was available at this point. Some development (i.e., Cub Foods) is likely to occur in the area under existing zoning provisions. There was discussion on the concern for the public input process. A great deal of work is yet to be accomplished in providing opportunity for public scrutiny and formulation of a draft document for a Planning Commission hearing. Following the discussion, it was generally agreed the next steps would include: • Meetings with Tualatin Malley Economic Development Corporation, NPO 4, Developers, Property Owners & Consultants. • Market data and property owner interests should be analyzed at the same time. • It was suggested that a "Town Hall" format be used to inform the public. This would include a presentation of an option(s) by the Planning Commission. Public comment would be welcomed at that time. • Once a series of informational meetings had been held, the Planning Commission will review and hold a public hearing(s). The purpose will be to determine if the Planning Commission recommends a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) for the Triangle area. • A Comprehensive Plan Amendment (if recommended) public hearing would then be scheduled for City Council. 3. REGION 2040: TRANSPORTATION & LAND USE CONCEPTS PHASE I Mr. Ethan Selzer of the Metropolitan Service District outlined the details of the Region 2040 Planning Project. The project results from a recommendation made as part of the process leading to the adoption of the Regional Urban Growth Goals and Objectives (RUGGOS). The project is intended to provide guidance for the testing and implementation of concepts in RUGGO. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - FEBRUARY 18, 1992 - PAGE 2 - i 5 gl~ 4. NON-AGENDA ITEMS a.

WRAP-UP t 'r TO: TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: BENKENDORF ASSOCIATES AND STAFF Subject: Tigard Triangle Development Plan During the last four months, the Planning Commission, consultant and staff have been examining a wide range of development alternatives for the Tigard Triangle area. This examination has been based on a recognition that: The Triangle is an important part of the City. A new direction is needed to encourage development. Transportation and accessibility are important ingredients to the future of this area. There has been an awakening in recent years by planners and citizens that segregated land use patterns of recent years create certain problems. This situation was discussed at the Planning Commission Workshops, especially within the context of the traffic congestion we all encounter as we travel from one use (residence) to another (work), to another (shopping). There are ways of organizing our land uses and transportation systems to reduce the need to travel. The Tigard Triangle is probably the last opportunity for the City to fashion a living and working environment that achieves this objective. . The results of a Visioning exercise by the Planning Commission confirmed this desire. From that exercise and-several reviews of the plan evaluation criteria, a GOAL for, the Triangle has emerged. The Goal is very important and contains the words and phrases which have driven the formulation of the plan and development standards. The Goal is: Create a living and working environment not now available in the City that is urban in character and complementary to the rest of the community. The key words here are not now available and urban. Not now available means we are seeking to create a development pattern that contains integrated and complementary land uses, densities that are supportive of transit and pedestrian systems and parks that promote opportunities for recreation. Urban represents the concept of a development pattern that does not now exist in the City. It proposes higher densities, reduces set backs, and most importantly manages circulation that assures pedestrian access and seeks to ism WIRM more effectively minimize the impact of the automobile. Kemp= MARKET ASSESSMENT A market assessment of the Triangle's physical characteristics was conducted. The market assessment determined that the area was most suited for office uses consistent and complementary to the existing developments and higher density residential. This conclusion was consistent with the interest expressed by the developers with whom the City Council members tested the need for a new plan early in 1991. SITE ASSESSMENT The site assessment concluded that this area has many features that can make this a desirable place to live at medium and higher densities. There are good views, considerable mature vegetation, opportunities for open space (wetland) and an existing grade school. DEVELOPMENT PLAN These existing circumstances as well as input from the Planning Commission, enabled us to prepare three alternative development concepts. These concepts not only incorporated office and higher density residential land uses but proposed substantial changes to the road system as well. All of the concepts advocated a large reduction in the amount of General Commercial. The planning commission decided to retain the road system as planned and shaped a fourth concept now known as Plan D. Plan D has the potential to accomplish the Goal outlined earlier given a new set of development standards for the Triangle as a whole. The plan proposes a small increase in the amount of Professional Office, a 100-acre reduction in the amount of General Commercial, the addition of 106 acres of Medium and High Density Residential, and the elimination of single family residential. The major change from the existing plan and zoning pattern is the idea of this area becoming an area where people will continue to reside but at higher densities. This concept is very supportive of the community as a whole. There is a present need, which will continue to grow as the population of the single family suburban neighborhoods ages, for smaller, higher density living units. this area is well suited to fulfill that need. TRANSPORTATION The transportation system planned for the area is supportive of the proposed land uses and development pattern. 72nd is planned as a major collector and is anticipated to carry the highest level of transit service, and may even be considered for lighlti rail at same point in hLe future. For the most part, existing rights-of-way have been utilized for local roads. A new road parallel to 99W is proposed to provide improved access and assist in reducing traffic r . congestion on 99W. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS An outline has been drafted that proposes a set of development standards for the Triangle. Standards are proposed for each of the tree major land uses: office, retail and higher density residential. The thrust of the standards is to bring about a development pattern that is supportive of the Goal. This is achieved by an incentive based approach. Developers are granted concessions in return for planning their projects in a manner that will foster an urban character. In addition, the standards encourage the development of a landscape that is more livable. 40. PURPOSE OF JOINT MEETING The purpose of this meeting is to gain a consensus amongst the members of the council and planning commission on the thrust of this program. Given a consensus we will proceed to prepare a draft report for the public input. ja/TT-Dav.Mat too= ti '•817. werLat,Jpay h~Cb,O!.'U. P~.C"a• 72nd. HIGH bsfJbl'~"'f 1s=etbtt7~►.JTtaL .DGJ.OR.

Ramis, Esq. O'DONNELL, RAMIS, CREW & CORRIGAN 1727 N.W. Hoyt Street ! .13 " j ?~2 Portland, OR 97209 RE: Tigard Triangle Dear Tim: Western Investment Properties, as you know, has been actively involved in the Tigard Triangle since 1988 when we met with you to discuss our proposed development adjacent to Dartmouth Road and the pending Martin lawsuit, which had slowed construction of this road. At that time, we were encouraged to hear from you and various city staff members that one of the City's highest priorities was to complete the construction of Dartmouth and to promote high quality development in the Triangle. With this encouragement , we optioned a number of parcels in the Triangle and brought Cub Food Stores into our proposed development as our anchor tenant. Since that initial meeting, the settlement of the Martin lawsuit had begun to drag on. In an effort to try to settle the lawsuit, I had numerous conversations with Gordon Martin and his attorney, Chuck Rattan, to draft a development agreement which could, in effect, serve as a settlement agreement between the Martins and the City. You monitored our progress in drafting this development/settlement agreement; but, unfortunately the agreement was never signed by the Martins. As you will remember., this agreement (and, in fact, all subsequent agreements) guaranteed the development of our properties utilizing the existing zoning and development standards in exchange for Martins stopping their lawsuit and guaranteeing to pay their L.I.D. share. After this agreement failed, we alone offered to guarantee Martin's share of the L.I.D. should their lawsuit prevail. You had informed us that with this guarantee the City would then be willing to move forward with the construction of Dartmouth. After we drafted this agreement, we were informed that the bond counsel needed additional security in order to move forward with Dartmouth immediately. One way to provide this additional security was to add Cub Food Stores' signature. At this point, we were able to convince Cub to join with us in signing the guarantee, thus allowing Dartmouth to move forward. Unfortunately, after reaching this agreement with the City, the P.O.P.'s initiative was passed. This initiative clouded the entire issue of L.I.D. financing and, thus, once again slowed the construction of Dartmouth. In spite of all of these problems, you, Chuck Corrigan and various city staff members were still positive that the City wanted Dartmouth to be constructed and our project to be developed. With this in mind, Western Investment Properties went ahead with the purchase of approximately 16 acres in the Triangle. Late last year we once again encouraged the City to move forward with Dartmouth by offering a modified guarantee, which would not only guarantee the City against the potential Martin lawsc:<i outcome, but also against the P.O.P.'s initiative. As late as only a few T inonths ago, we were informed by Chuck Corrigan that the newly modified guarantee agreement would no longer be necessary since the City was willing to move "full speed ahead" with the ®mm~smaa~mina~~w®w®s~~~~sa®v~®n~ ® - Sluopliing ('i'nter I Devvloln ivilt Cornuiu•rcial Itcal 1-statt, Partnershipx Olson Timothy V. Ramis, Esq. O'Donnell, Ramis, Crew & Corrigan January 30, 1992 Page 2 road without any guarantees in place. At that time, I asked about the development of the 'T'riangle and was told that the City's attitude toward our part of the Triangle had not changed- that is, they wanted quality retail development in this area once Dartmouth was constructed. This new pledge to move Dartmouth along was very encouraging to us. At this point, we felt we could give a commitment to a major retail tenant that our project at long last would be moving ahead. Unfortunately, just last month I heard quite by accident that the City had hired a planning consultant to review the entire plan for the Tigard Triangle. In complete disbelief of this rumor, I called Ed Murphy and was informed that in fact not only was it true, but a meeting was set for January 6th to review the preliminary results of this new planning effort with the Planning Commission. As I told you, I attended this meeting and was completely shocked that the consultant was proposing rezoning not only our land, but also the Martins' land. Further, the proposed plan concerned us since it would greatly diminish the ability of Cub and Pollock to develop their properties by changing zoning and/or development standards. My shock and great concern at seeing this proposed planning change revolves around two basic issues. First, any changes to the zoning of the Triangle in general, and to the Martin property specifically, will clearly allow the Martins the ability to file additional lawsuits. Secondly, by changing the zoning and/or development standards on Cub's, Pollock's and our property, you are at risk of losing the economic engine that was, for a large part, responsible for moving along the construction of Dartmouth and the ultimate development of the Triangle. Finally, we were greatly amazed to find that this major planning action was going on , which would directly impact the value of our property, without our being informed. Together with the City, we have fought long and hard to first settle the Martin lawsuit, and when that was not possible, to then guarantee the construction of Dartmouth. During this entire battle we were always on the side of the City. Now I fear our joint efforts in waging this battle could be wasted by this ill-conceived planning action. It should be clearly understood by the City that any action it takes, which modifies the Triangle, will: (1) be used by Martin in subsequent r lawsuits to once again stop the development of the Triangle, and (2) dramatically impact the ability for the Dartmouth L.I.D. to be funded, since the plan would make much of our properties, unleasable and unsaleable. - I urge you to remind the City Council of our effort, to work with them in promoting the construction of Dartmouth and the development of the Triangle. Please encourage them to not let our joint efforts go to waste. In order to ensure that our joint endeavors are not squandered, I think the City Council must provide clear direction to the planner to either go back to the original zoning on ours, Martin's, Cub's and Pollock's land, or to delay the implementation of this planning effort until sometime after Dartmouth Road has been constructed and our developments undertaken. Thank you very much for your help. Yours very truly, WESTERN INVESTMENT PROPERTIES VIII ROBERT E.

Hall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 FEB 0 41992 RE: Tigard Triangle COMMUNIV DEVELOPf.101 Benkendorf Plan Dear Ed: Thank you for informing me of the January 6, 1992 work session meeting with the Planning Commission to discuss the rezoning of the Tigard Triangle in time for me to be able to attend. As I told you after that meeting, we were shocked to find that planning was going on involving our property without being formally noted. We were also very distressed to find out that the plan proposed major changes to ours, Martin's and Cub'-, properties. These changes would surely allow the Martins to file additional lawsuits, while at the same time certainly diminish the economic viability for us and Cub to the point where we are not able to justify the bond cost for the L.I.D. As you know, for our property, Benkendorfs plan is promoting the rezoning from general commercial to a combination of professional commercial, park and wetlands. We have been involved in this site since 1988, specifically because it was zoned to allow a retail commercial project to be developed. Had we known that there was ever even a remote chance that this property would be zoned professional commercial, we never would have become involved with it. In discussing the professional commercial zone after this meeting with numerous office developers we found that we could not give our land away for office development, even if we paid for the L.I.D. In fact, one developer told us that there was enough office product already on the market to meet demand for the next ten years. Secondly, Benkendorfs plan proposes a park directly on the major curve of Dartmouth. Certainly, this non-centralized park located at the most dangerous location on a high speed road makes poor planning logic. This poor planning is certainly exacerbated by the fact that even if the City would be willing to acquire our land, they then would be faced with the very high L.I.D. assessments, since the park is proposed immediately contiguous to Dartmouth Road. Additionally, showing a major portion of our southerly property as wetlands without a formal wetlands study also shows poor planning judgment. Finally, the proposed plan is shortsighted in that it does not lend itself to the potential reality that Dartmouth could someday extend over 217 to Hall Boulevard. As w: also discussed, I am greatly concerned with Mr. Benkendorfs proposed development standards for commercial, which in my opinion would legislate his outdated prejudices against commercial development instead of encouraging logically planned and architecturally compatible projects with integrated landscaping and signing criteria. Legislating the elimination of strip C commercial buildings and freestanding pads in this market area makes absolutely no planning or economic sense. Shopping Center Development Commercial Real Estate Partnerships e I Mr. Edward J. Murphy City of Tigard January 30, 1992 Page 2 all, Thus, Ed, we encourage you to work with Mr. Benkendorf in developing a plan for the Triangle that would recognize both the realities of potential Martin lawsuits, as well as the need to allow the properties which pay for the development of Dartmouth to be economically developed. Additionally, your help in eliminating some of Mr. Benkendorfs outdated prejudices and substituting insightful planning, architectural and landscape design standards would be greatly appreciated, not only by us, but I am certain by a great many of Tigard's citizens. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the joint Planning Commission/City Council work session on the Benkendorf plan, but in my place my partner, Chuck Marsh, will be attending. At that time, Mr. Marsh will voice our concerns on the Benkendorf plan. I look forward to working with you in revising the plan for the Triangle to recognize the political and economic realities of this area. Please let me know should you have any questions.

This land includes a majority of proposed Dartmouth Road rights-of-way between Hwy 99 and 72nd Avenue and also includes all of the homes along Duvall Street. We have been working on this acquisition for over two years and we have been in active discussions with city staff throughout this time on a number of issues, including Dartmouth Road. Both we and the City have long known the importance of Dartmouth as a catalyst for development in the Triangle. The City's commitment to let the LID proceed and our commitment to a $5,000,000 land purchase and the development of a major retail complex including a CUB food store is the type of partnership that will finally get development going in the Triangle. We have been following with considerable interest the work of the Planning Commission and its consultant as you have been reconsidering how you want the Triangle to develop. While you are not yet finished, we want to take this opportunity to share some thoughts and observations. First of all, we commend you for your work and vision. It is clear from your discussions and the materials you have developed, that you have begun to shape a new idea of what the Triangle can become. This is particularly true with your reintroduction of residential uses and the idea of MIN mixed development in the Triangle area. The idea of a much more intense level of development, a mix of uses, and more "user friendly" development, is certainly appealing when we truly try to visualize the quality of life for the people whho i-night ;i.c, and shop in this-area- The Triangle may be the place to try to implement this vision. However, the preliminary proposals we have reviewed have apparently assumed that the entire Triangle should develop under this same vision which would be dust as limiting as current land use policies that assume the entire Triangle should develop with all retail and offices. Tigard Council and Planning Commission February 13, 1992 Page 2 We have the following suggestions: 1. The construction of two major intersecting arterials which will eventually be expanded to five lanes--Dartmouth and 72nd--creates special use and design problems that do not lend themselves to the type of dense, small scale, pedestrian oriented development that has been proposed in the preliminary drafts. Both arterials are essential to the efficient movement of traffic through the Triangle. As you know, the City's present land use standards, particularly with regard to large scale retail and office development, are designed for exactly these conditions. Treating areas adjacent to arterials with standards that promote a dense, small scale, pedestrian oriented development, jeopardizes both the transportation function of the roadways and the viability of adjacent development. 2. The vision of a mixed living and small scale retail environment will by best achieved within the residential areas. The types of policies, standards and incentives in the draft materials, will nonetheless only work if they are applied to areas with a residential base zone. If they are applied to large scale commercial and office areas, they will only serve as disincentves and, once again, stymie development within these areas of the Triangle. t t In summary, the goal to "create a living and working environment not now available in the city I that is urban in character and complementary to the rest of the community" can be achieved in the Triangle. However, it will only be achieved if the Triangle is divided into smaller areas and land use standards are selectively applied to each area. We believe current standards will work best within the areas designated for large scale commercial and office development which, based on the proposed land use map, will also ensure that the arterial system in the Triangle continues to function efficiently. New policies and standards which promote dense, mixed use, pedestrian scale development should be applied solely within the areas designated for residential. Such an approach will assist, not hinder development of the Triangle. It also will provide the opportunity for creation of a diverse living, working and shopping environment that meets the needs of residents within the Triangle and the entire community. We look forward to being a part of the Triangle. We are pleased at the prospect that the Triangle will develop with a range of uses and design standards. The diversity that results will ultimately WON make the Triangle an exciting place to live and shop. We also look forward to continuing our discussion with the City and to following the. planning process. Sincerely, Gordon B.

The $54,800 is Tigard's share, per capita, of the MSTIP II funds collected by Washington County. MSTIP II regulations require us to submit our plan first to the WCTCC Technical Group in March, and next to the WCTCC Policy Committee in April in order to receive funds this summer. Tigard City Council must approve our plan before we go to WCTCC. Notation of the Council's approval can be made in the minutes of their meeting and will be acceptable as proof of Council support. Englewood Park paths and Pathfinder/Genesis are currently being designed, and the engineer's cost estimates are due March 1, 1992. Original rough estimates set the cost of these two projects at $140,000. Staff expects to go out to bid in mid-March, award the job on April 14, and anticipates the completion of construction in ? early summer, depending on weather conditions. br/MSYIP.MEM / / A^ , .rcv jLta i o+. ~8 G w~2 C 1 Emn MEMO 20(H) SW First Avenue Portland, OR 97201-.5+398 (503)221-1646 Fax 241-7417 ffc January 29, 1992 ' `1!
