4. ORDINANCE CONSIDERATION - PARKING PROHIBITION ON S.W. 108TH
AVENUE.
a. City Engineer Wooley summarized the Staff Report on this agenda item.
The neighbors were requesting the prohibition of parking on a portion of
SW 108th Avenue because of the diminished enjoyment of their property
with the backside of the property line abutting parking places. Another
concern was safety. A third concern was the fact that school busses are
prevented from picking up children because of the parked cars.
Council discussed the issues with City Engineer including school bus
regulations, safety, and status of this street. Of concern to some of the
Council was the kind of precedent that this may be setting if "No Parking"
was established as requested.
Council then discussed the feasibility of putting a time limit on the no-
parking. City Engineer advised that this would be possible and a new
ordinance could be drafted. After further discussion, Council agreed that
since the street was not yet fully developed, additional wording would be
placed in the ordinance as follows:
"...until such time as 108th Avenue is improved in this location to full
minor collector standards. At the time that the street is improved,
the effect of this ordinance shall cease."
b. ORDINANCE NO. 92-11; AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TMC 10.28.130 TO
PROHIBIT PARKING ON A PORTION OF SW 108TH AVENUE.

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall the City Council authorize investment of City funds in the Local Government Investment Pool up
to 20 million dollars.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the limit of 10 million be raised to 20 million.
114rVnrvinTivl`v S.....`f.QRY
ORS 294.810 allows local governments to invest up to 10 million dollars in the Local Government pool
at any point in time. The limit of 10 million dollars may not be exceeded unless the governing body
has passed a resolution authorizing the investment of up to 20 million dollars.
The City has recently exceeded the 10 million dollar cap on occasion and has had to withdraw funds
and invest them at lower rates elsewhere. Increasing the limit at the Local Government Investment
pool is merely a procedural matter. Our current investment policy will remain unchanged and in effect.
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
1. Increase the limit at the Pool to 20 million dollars.
2. Keep current 10 million dollar limit.
FISCAL NOTES
1. Gain the flexibility to invest more funds in the Pool at potentially higher rates.

RE. "No Qarking" signs on 108th Avenue
Dear Mr. Wooley:
The undersigned request the City Council for the City
of Tigard to pass an ordinance to place "no parking" signs on
the west side of 108th Avenue between Chateau Lane and the end
of the curb south about two blocks of Chateau lane ("the
designated section of 108th Avenue").
The ordinance should be passed for the following
reasons. First, at least one school bus picks up children at
the designated section of 108th Avenue. Parked cars prevent
the school bus from picking up children in the desired
location. Second, from late spring to early fall, teenagers
often sit in parked cars in the designated section of 108th
Avenue making a substantial noise and otherwise diminishing the
value of the neighborhood.
The three houses abutting the designated section of
108th Avenue are at 16412 SW 109th Place, 16430 SW 109th Place,
and 16438 SW 109th Place. The undersigned own these houses.
Please address any correspondence to Alan K. Aldous,
16430 SW 109th Place, Tigard, 97224. Thank you.

amend the Community Development Code to create a new mid-range commercial
zoning district to implement this Plan designation?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION - - -
Adopt the attached ordinances amending the Plan and Development Code.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
In response to suggestions that the City should provide for a commercial
zoning district that would provide a middle ground between the small-scale,
limited use C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning district and the broad scope
C of permitted uses and large scale of the C-G (General Commercial) zone, the
planning Commission directed staff to draft a new mid-range commercial zone.
The Planning Division has drafted the attached proposed amendments to Volume
Two of the Comprehensive Plan to create a new Community Commercial Plan
designation and amendments to the Community Development Code to create a C-C
(Community Commercial) zoning district. In addition, related Code revisions
are proposed to include the C-C zoning district as needed in indexes,
listings of zoning districts, individual conditional use listings, and to
apply screening and buffering standards and signage requirements for C-C uses
similar to what is required for C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) uses.
After two public hearings which included substantial community testimony, the
Planning Commission voted 4-3 to forward the proposed amendments to the
Council with a recommendation for approval. Dissenting Commissioners were
not opposed to the concept of the Community Commercial Plan designation and
C-C zoning district, but instead had urged changes in the proposal.
,PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES _
1. Adopt the attached ordinances amending the Plan and Development Code.
2. Direct staff to prepare ordinances for the May 12, 1992 meeting adopting
the amendments to the Plan and Code with revisions related to scale of
Community Commercial sites and/or maximum floor area for particular uses.
3. Deny the proposal.

4. Community Commercial
The Community Commercial Plan designation is intended to
provide locations for retail and service uses which have a
primarily neighborhood orientation. Such facilities should be
located so that their frequency and distributional pattern
reflect their primary neighborhood orientation. Such
facilities should not be so large or so broad in scope and
services as to attract substantial amounts of trade from
outside of surrounding neighborhoods, and shall be large
enough to provide a variety of goods and services at one
location. It is further the intent of this designation to
restrict the size of such facilities and that the community
Commercial plan designation should not be located in close
proximity to other commercial areas.
a. Scale
(1) Trade Area: generally within a 1 and 1/2 mile
radius.
(2) Gross Floor Area. 30,000 to 100,000
square foot gross commercial floor area.
• Food sales up to 40,000 sq. ft. per
establishment; general retail sales up to
10,000 sq. ft. per establishment; other
commercial sales and service facilities up to
5,000 sq. ft. in size per establishment.
b. Locational Criteria
(1) Spacing and Location
(a) Commercial development shall be limited to one
quadrant of a street intersection, or where
there is no street intersection immediately
adjacent to the site, to one side of the
street.
(b) Community Commercial districts shall be spaced
at least one-half mile from other sites which
are designated for commercial retail use.
Special consideration may also be given to
C ' - 1 -
i
I
providing a similar separation from non-
commercially designated sites that involve
retail use as part of a mixed use development,
or to provide less than the minimum separation
for commercially designated sites which are
developed with non-retail uses,
(2) Access
(a) The proposed Community Commercial district
shall not be anticipated to create traffic
congestion or a traffic safety problem. Such
a determination shall be based on the capacity
of adjacent streets, existing and projected
traffic volumes, roadway geometry of adjacent
streets, number of turning movements, and the
traff is generating characteristics of the most
intensive uses allowed in the zone.
(b) The site shall be located along an arterial or 1
a major collector street as designated on the
Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map. Sites
should be located at or adjacent to an
intersection of a major or minor collector
street with an arterial or at the intersection
of two major collector streets. j
(3) Site Characteristics
C~-
(a) The site shall be a minimum of two acres in
size and a maximum of eight acres in size.
i
(4) Impact Assessment
s
r
(a) The scale of the project shall be compatible
with surrounding uses.
(b) It is generally preferable that a Community
Commercial site be developed as one unit with
coordinated access, circulation, building
design, signage, and landscaping. However,
parcels within a Community Commercial site may
be developed independently, although the City
may require that developmental aspects of
individual parcels be coordinated through the 3
Y
development review process.
(c) Convenient pedestrian and bicyclist access to
a development site from adjoining residential
areas shall be provided where practical.
Local street connections between Community
Commercial sites and adjoining neighborhoods
C -2-
5
7
shall be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The site configuration and characteristics and
relationship to the street system shall be
such that privacy of adjacent non-commercial
uses can be maintained.
(d) Access needs of individual parcels and uses
shall be coordinated within a site so as to
limit the number of access driveways to
adjacent streets.
(e) Unique features of the site should be
incorporated into the site development plan.
(f) Associated lights, noise, and activities shall
not significantly affect adjoining residential
uses. operating hour restrictions may be
placed on uses within the district.

18.61.010 Purpose
A. The purpose of the C-C (Community Commercial) zoning
district is to provide locations for convenience shopping
facilities that provide for the regular needs of
residents of nearby residential neighborhoods. It is
intended that the Community Commercial shopping center be
ideally developed as a unit, with adequate off-street
parking for customers and employees and with appropriate
landscaping and screening to insure compatibility with
the surrounding residential environment. Gross floor
area in a Community Commercial center typically ranges
from 30,000 to 100,000 square feet, and land area
consists of 2 to 8 acres in size.
Community Commercial centers are intended to be separated
from other commercially zoned properties which provide
retail and service opportunities by at least 1/2 mile.
The designation of a site with this district should not
create or contribute to a commercial strip development
pattern. This district is intended to be located
adjacent to several residential neighborhoods, ideally at
the intersection of two or more major collector streets
or at the intersection of an arterial and a collector
street. The district should be applied in only one
quadrant of an intersection, or on only one side of a
street if the site is not directly adjacent to an
intersection. The intended primary service area of the
district is up to 1 and 1/2 miles.
With respect for the district's primary neighborhood

{ should be strictly limited in size and height. In
addition, special concern should be shown for safe and
convenient pedestrian and bicycle access to the site and
within the development.
18.61.020 Procedures and Approval Process
A. A use permitted outright, Section 18.61.030, is a use
which requires no approval under the provisions of this
title. If a use is not listed as a use permitted
outright, it may be held to be a similar unlisted use
under the provisions of Chapter 18.43, Unlisted use.
B. A conditional use, Section 18.61.040, is a use the
approval of which is discretionary with the Hearings
Officer. The approval process and criteria for approval
are set forth in Chapter 18.130, Conditional Use. It is
incumbent upon the applicant for conditional use approval
to demonstrate that the intended use is consistent with
the purposes of the Community Commercial zone and that
the proposed use will not alter the character of the
surrounding area in a manner which substantially limits,
impairs, or precludes the use of surrounding properties
for the primary uses listed in the underlying district.
If a use is not listed as a conditional use, it may be
held to be a similar unlisted use under the provisions of
( Chapter 18.43, Unlisted Use.

Triad on 109 extension December 10, 1991 and April 14, 1992
PREPARED BY: Ed Murphy
DEPT HEAD O CITY ADMIN OKIIIZM REQUESTED BY: Randy Woolen
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the Council authorize the City Administrator to sign an agreement with
TRIAD TIGARD LIMITED PARTNERSHIP concerning the terms of Triad's
participation in the construction of the extension of SW 109th Avenue between
Naeve Street and Pacific Highway?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council authorize the City Administrator to sign
the attached agreement.
INFORMATION SUMMARY.
In Resolution Number 92-19, the City Council adopted the final order for the
development of an apartment complex proposed by Triad. A condition of
approval was adopted which required Triad to enter into an agreement with the
City of Tigard assuring Triad's participation in the construction of SW 109th
between Naeve Street and Pacific Highway. The agreement was to be
"substantially similar to the draft agreement proposed by Triad and attached
to this approval". The City Council first received the draft agreement at
its' December 10, 1991 meeting, and have reviewed it since that time, most
recently at its, April 14, 1992 public hearing on the appeal of the Triad
application for development.
The agreement attached is virtually identical to the one attached the Council
reviewed on April 14th, with no significant changes. The city attorney's
office has reviewed this agreement.
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
None. Not authorizing the agreement would be inconsistent with the condition
of approval.
-
FISCAL NOTES
The agreement specifies how Triad will financially participate in the
extension of 109th from Naeve to Pacific Highway. Basically, they will
deposit $300,000 in escrow before getting their first occupancy permit, and
the City will use those funds, along with City funds, to construct the road.
C Triad will receive a credit against their TIF (Transportation Impact Fee)
requirements in the amount of $300,000. The total project cost is estimated
to be $800,000.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Pat Reilly, City Administrator
FROM: Ed Murphy, Community Development Directo
DATE: April 14, 1992
SUBJECT: Proposed New Community Commercial Plan Designation
and Zoning District
BACKGROUND
In response to suggestions that the City of Tigard should provide
for a commercial zoning district that would provide a middle ground
between the existing small-scale, limited use C-N (Neighborhood
Commercial) zoning district and the broad scope of permitted uses
and large scale of the C-G (General Commercial) zone, the Planning
Commission on December 16, 1991, directed staff to research and
draft a new mid-range commercial zone. In response, the Planning
Division has drafted proposed amendments to Volume Two of the
Comprehensive Plan to create a Community Commercial Plan
designation and to the Community Development Code to create a C-C
C. (Community Commercial) zoning district. The following pages
summarize the proposed new Plan designation and zoning district.
In addition, other Community Development Code revisions are
proposed to include the C-C zoning district as needed in indexes,
other listings of zoning districts, individual conditional use
listings, and to apply screening and buffering standards and
signage'requirements for C-C uses similar to what is required for
C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) uses.
The proposed Community Commercial Plan designation locational
criteria and the text for the proposed C-C zoning district have
been presented to all of the NPOs as well as CPO 4B and CPO 4M.
The cities of Beaverton, Durham, King City, and Tualatin;
Washington County; and the Oregon Department of Land Conservation
and Development have also been provided with the draft amendments
for review and comment. In addition, a substantial amount of
comments have been received from individuals and businesses which
have an interest in the proposed changes. Written comments
received are included in this packet.
After two public hearings which included a substantial amount of
community testimony, the Planning Commission voted 4-3 to forward
the attached package of amendments to the Council with a
recommendation for approval. Dissenting Planning Commissioners
were not opposed to the concept of the Community Commercial Plan
designation and C-C zoning district, but instead had urged changes
in the proposal. Planning Commission comments are available in the
t attached Planning Commission minutes of March 2 and April 6, 1992.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
a. Intent
The primary intent of the Community Commercial Plan !
designation and the C-C zoning district is to provide t
opportunities for the development of relatively small shopping
centers or shopping districts that wculd be located within a
primarily residential area. By having commercial
opportunities close to neighborhoods, residents may be able to
do their shopping or avail themselves of commonly used
services with a minimum of travel and a reduced need to enter
crowded major collector or arterial streets with their autos.
It is also hoped that some vehicle trips might even be
eliminated due to the proximity of commercial services to
neighborhoods thereby making walking or bicycling to these
services practical.
b. Scale
The proposed C-C zoning district provides for sizes of
individual businesses to be limited to what the community
feels is necessary to provide for the needs of the intended
trade area. Grocery stores would be limited to a maximum size
of 40,000 square feet. General retail stores would be limited
to 10,000 square feet. Other uses would be limited to 5,000
square feet. The limit on sizes of establishments is also
intended as to discourage uses that would bring substantial
traffic into the community. In addition, operating hours
would be limited in order to reduce the potential for negative
impacts upon the neighborhood, although longer operating hours
may be permitted for a particular establishment through the
conditional use process.
The size of the individual Community Commercial districts is
proposed to be limited to between two and eight acres in order
to limit the physical scale of commercial development
surrounded by residential development.
C. Locational Criteria
Individual Community Commercial districts are proposed to be
separated from other commercial districts or commercial
developments by at least one half mile so as to avoid strip
commercial development. Community Commercial districts are
proposed to be located at or close to either the intersection
of two major collector streets or at the intersection of an
arterial and either a major or minor collector street.
Community Commercial districts would be limited to one
quadrant of an intersection or one side of a street.
It was not the Commission's or staff's intention that the City
C- designate any properties with the Community Commercial Pla:i
designation or C-C zoning district at this time.
J
i
Nevertheless, staff has applied the basic intersection
locational criteria on the attached map in order to show which
locations within the city and the city's urban growth area
could possibly qualify for the Community Commercial
designation. The display of this basic intersection criteria
on this map, however, does not include assessment of either
existing development at these locations or the proposed
Community Commercial site size criteria. These criteria could
disqualify any of the circled areas from consideration from
redesignation. The areas shown as potential Community
Commercial sites may also be unacceptable for redesignation
for many other reasons including (but not limited to) traffic
problems, existing development on sites, incompatibility with
adjacent developed residential areas, topography, and/or a
lack of desire by the property owners or the City to change
the existing Plan designation and zoning.
It is very important to remember that this map only indicates
potential Community Commercial sites. Actual redesignation of
sites to Community Commercial designations would need to occur
separate from the current proposal. The current proposal
would only provide changes to the texts of the Comprehensive
Plan and Community Development Code to enable potential
Community Commercial redesignation of sites in the future.
Some of the comments received from the NPOs and others
requesting changes in the proposed Plan and Code language may
be generated by site-specific concerns with some of the
circled intersections on this map. The integrity and
usability of the proposed Plan designation and zoning district
should not be undermined by too fine tinkering with the
proposed text amendments to exclude certain circled sites from
potential Community Commercial designation. Exclusion of
unwarranted sites should be done through the Plan Map
amendment process, if and when requests for redesignation of
these sites are made.
In order for actual designations of sites to occur, a property
owner would need to file an application for a Comprehensive
Plan Map Amendment and Zoning Map Change for the particular
site for which redesignation is requested. The applicant
would need to demonstrate not only that the site was
consistent with the locational criteria for the Community
Commercial designation, but that the proposal also was
consistent with all applicable Comprehensive Plan policies and
Statewide Planning Goals, and that there had been a mistake in
the original Plan and zoning designations for the site or that
physical changes of circumstances had occurred in the area of
the subject properties that was supportive of reasons for the
requested change in designation. The Comprehensive Plan Map
Amendment and Zoning Map Change process that would apply to
individual redesignations would be a public review process
r, with hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council
and notification of neighbors prior to the hearings.
t
COMMENTS/MAJOR ISSUES
C a. Scale
Staff readily admits that the proposed two acre minimum and
eight acre maximum site size, 40,000 sq. ft. grocery size, and
10,000 sq. ft. retail store maximum size limits were not
determined as a result of lengthy analysis of the community's
needs or desires. These size limits are proposed based on
staff walk-throughs of several grocery stores and shopping
centers in the surrounding area, review of the sizes of these
centers, as well as the recommendations of The Zoning Report
of October 21, 1988. This report is attached. The last
sentence of page 4 of this report recommends a maximum grocery
store size of 30,000 to 50,000 sq. ft. and a maximum size for
other uses of 10,000 to 15,000 sq. ft. in a neighborhood
serving commercial zone. In addition, page 7 of that report
quotes the text of the Beaumont, Texas Neighborhood Shopping
Center zoning district with regard to total shopping center
gross floor area and site size limits. Proposed store and
site size limits are within the recommended ranges provided in
that report and seem reasonable with regard to other
developments in the southwest suburban Portland area (see
Appendix One - area supermarkets and their respective sizes).
We have received comments from Albertsons and their
representatives (Messrs. Shonkwiler, Russell, and Petrie)
supporting larger store size limits as well as comments from
NPO 7 and Mr. Marcott of Murrayhill Thriftway recommending a
smaller maximum size for-grocery stores. While both sides'
arguments have merit, the Commission was not convinced that
the proposed size limits need to be modified one way or the
other from the size limits originally proposed by staff.
In addition, redesignation of sites with the Community
Commercial designations will be accomplished through the Plan
map and,zoning map amendment processes. If the city wants to
limit the size of the redesignation at a particular location
to anything between two and eight acres, it can effectively
occur at that point through limiting the size of the area to
be designated Community Commercial. Not every site to be
redesignated as Community Commercial in the future need be
eight acres in size. Tailoring the size of the area to be
redesignated to the needs and desires of the surrounding
neighborhoods can have the effect of placing de facto limits
on the maximum store sizes for that particular site.
b. Locational Criteria
The principal issues with the proposed locational criteria
appear to be distance from other commercial sites and whether
Community Commercial developments should be limited to
arterial intersections rather than major collector/major
collector intersections as well.
L4
MEN=
First, staff believes it is essential that Community
Commercial designations not be limited to arterial street
intersections as was proposed by others early on in the
development of these proposals. From a suburban development
philosophical standpoint, limiting commercial sites to
arterials would do nothing to discourage local short trip
traffic on arterial streets that are primarily intended and
designed for carrying through traffic. In addition, limiting
future commercial opportunities to arterials would be counter-
productive to efforts to limit strip development and likely
would not result in much of a "community" feeling to these
developments that would be any different than development
within a General Commercial district. If anything, we may be
stretching away from the purposes of the proposed Plan
designation to include potential sites along arterials. From
a practical standpoint, limiting potential Community
Commercial designations to arterial intersections would result
in only the 135th/Scholls and the western-most Scholls/New
Scholls intersections as realistic possibilities for Community
Commercial designation. This is due to limitations of the
other sites along arterials illustrated on the potential sites
map. If any changes are made to the locational criteria
intersections standard, we would suggest dropping the
possibility of Community Commercial sites along arterial
streets.
Second, others have proposed a minimum spacing for Community
Commercial sites from other commercial sites of one mile.
This spacing requirement proposal combined with the currently
proposed intersection criteria would result in only one site
in the City's urban growth area, at 150th and Bull Mountain
Road, meeting these two locational criteria. If the suggested
one mile spacing standard would be applied along with the
other proposed limitation to arterial street intersections
only, no sites in the urban growth area would meet these two
basic criteria.
Washington County's Department of Land Use and Transportation
has recommended that the locational criteria require that the
site meet all applicable access spacing/access management
standards. City staff feels that this is implicit in the Plan
map amendment approval criteria which requires consistency
with all applicable Plan policies. Plan policy 8.1.1 requires
that a map redesignation proposal provide for a 11 . safe and
efficient street and roadway system." This should cover the
County's concern.
C. Impact Assessment
Generally stated, comments received have urged the following: -
1) not allow uses to operate between 11 PM and 6 AM; 2)
require adequate screening and buffering; 3) reduce the
minimum landscape area standard; 4) require noise abatement in
development design; and 5) require pedestrian connections
s
r
I is
ll I is=:
c
between residential developments and Community Commercial
developments.
While not every future Community Commercial site may be
appropriate for late hour operations, late hour operations
also serve the needs of a substantial number of city i
residents. Because late hour operations may or may not be a
detriment to surrounding neighborhoods, individual requests
for approval of particular late hour business operations !
should be considered on a case by case basis.
i
The current package of proposed amendments does include
relatively strict buffering and screening standards that were
not included in the package reviewed by the NPOs resulting in
some of their comments. Staff believes that the 20 percent
minimum landscaped area standard is necessary to visually
blend the commercial development into surrounding residential
areas that typically have 50 percent or greater site
landscaping. Additionally, the 20 percent landscaping
standard helps distinguish Community Commercial areas from
General Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial areas that have '
a minimum 15 percent landscape area standard. The buffering
standard, along with requirements for street trees and parking
lot island landscaping, are such that future Community
Commercial developments will probably have no trouble meeting
the 20 percent site landscaping standard without really
C trying.
Noise abatement is certainly a concern in establishing
commercial areas that by definition will be surrounded by
residential development. Subsequent to the Tigard
Marketplace/Food Connection noise problems, the City has
established stronger noise control standards and the site plan
and building plan reviewers have learned a lot about design
measures to reduce noise impacts. In addition, the proposal
to limit late hour operations to situations approved as
conditional uses should help reduce the potential for adverse
noise impacts upon neighbors. Noise certainly should be an
issue in considering individual Plan map and zoning map
amendment requests for Community Commercial redesignations as
well as in site development and conditional use applications;
however, staff does not find that there is a need to further
amend the proposed text amendments to deal with noise issues.
The suggestion that the proposed Plan and zoning designations
promote pedestrian connections between residential areas and
commercial development can be implemented, where warranted,
through existing authority in the approval standards for
development review applications.

5.3 Continuation of eublic Hearing for Comprehensives elan Amendment CPA
91-05/Zone ordinance Amendment ZOA 91-0006 Community Commercial Plan
_ Designation/C-C Zoning District
The Planning Commission will consider amending Volume II of the
Comprehensive Plan (Findings, Policies and Implementation Strategies) to
add a purpose statement and locational criteria for a new Plan
designation intended to provide opportunities for commercial development
serving the regular needs of surrounding residential areas. The
locational criteria would limit the establishment of these districts to
1) areas between two and eight acres in size; 2) limited locations due
to specific locational criteria, and 3) locations separated from other
commercially zoned properties.
In addition, the Commission will consider amending the Community
Development Code to create a new zoning district intended to implement
this Plan designation. Some of the permitted uses in the zone would be
limited size grocery stores, retail establishments, restaurants, and
offices. Also, the Commission will consider Community Development Code
amendments related to signage, landscaping and screening for uses within
the proposed new zone.
The Commission is holding this hearing for the purpose of forwarding a
recommendation to the City Council relative to the proposed amendments.
The City Council will hold a subsequent hearing before deciding whether
to adopt the proposed amendments. No locations are presently being
considered for designation with the new Plan designation or zoning.
o Associate Planner Jerry Offer advised that the comments received during
the 7-day period following the previous meeting were provided in the
meeting packets. He said there was no information which differed from
that received at the last hearing. He advised the main issue was the
scale of grocery stores.
o Commissioners Fyre and Saporta, who were not at the previous meeting,
stated they had read all the material and felt sufficiently informed to
make a fair decision.
o It was agreed to limit questions to points of clarification.
o Commissioner Castile favored looking at each site on an individual basis
to judge whether there is a need for a smaller or larger store. He
favored considering allowing stores up to 50,000 sq. ft. He suggested
this be written as an outright use.
o Commissioner Hawley favored limiting the outright use as written, but
allowing specific sites to have larger stores as conditional use after
review by neighborhood residents.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - APRIL 6, 1992 PAGE 4
C.
o Commissioner NR,ure agreed with Commissioners Castile and Hawley, stating
his main concern was what the community wants. He noted the way the
staff has written the amendment and ordinance favors what is best for
C the community rather than the individual applicants.
o Commissioner Fessler advised she studied the needs for a site with
25,000 sq. ft. grocery store, miscellaneous shops, landscaping
requirements, and parking area. She concluded that 3 acres would be
sufficient, and she suggested 8 acres may be too large for this type of
use. She was concerned with keeping things to the scale of a
neighborhood. She noted she was hesitant to allow 24-hour use and
drive-up windows. Discussion followed regarding appropriate size for
sites.
o Commissioner Boone stated he favored a land area of 2 to 6 acres in
size, based on research he had done at several community stores.
Regarding conditional use at the discretion of the Hearings Officer, he
would favor 30,000 sq. ft. maximum size for grocery stores. He did not
feel there should be limits on single-family residential as a mixed use
in this zone. He favored eliminating drive-up windows.
o Associate Planner clarified the Hearings Officer's consideration of
public input, and he noted the code is binding.
o Commissioners Saporta and Moore favored the proposal as written by staff.
o Commissioners Boone and Fessler preferred to limit the site size to 6
acres.
o Commissioner Hawley was in favor of the March 12th wording and wanted to
leave out conditional use for larger stores.
o Commissioner Castile did not agree with limiting the grocery store size.
o Commissioner Fyre stated he was comfortable with the way staff had
written the proposal.
* Commissioner Moore moved and Commissioner Hawley seconded to forward a
recommendation to City Council for approval of CPA 91-05, ZOA 91-0006,
Community Commercial Plan Designation C-C Zoning District as written.
Motion passed by majority vote of Commissioners present, with
Commissioners Castile and Boone voting "Nay."
6. OTHER BUSINESS
- o Senior Planner Dick Bewersdorff advised there was a Regional Growth
Conference on April 21st, and he encouraged Commissioners to attend. He
requested they notify Bonnie Mulhearn by April 7th and turn in the

The Planning Commission will consider amending Volume II and the
Comprehensive Plan (Findings, Policies and Implementation Strategies) to
add a purpose statement and locational criteria for a new Plan
designation intended to provide opportunities for commercial development
serving the regular needs of surrounding residential areas. The
locational criteria would limit the establishment of these districts to
1) areas between two and eight acres in size; 2) at limited locations;
and 3) locations separated from other commercially zoned properties.
In addition, the Commission will consider creating a new zoning district
intended to implement this Plan designation. Some of the permitted uses

recommendation to the City Council relative to the proposed amendments.
The City Council will hold a subsequent hearing before deciding whether
to adopt the proposed amendments. No locations are presently being
considered for designation with the new Plan designation or zoning.
o Associate Planner Jerry Offer explained the purpose of this type of zone
and how it can meet certain needs of the community. He reviewed the
Planning Commission's direction to staff suggesting the creation of a
new plan designation and zoning district. He discussed comments
received and distributed a copy of a letter from NPO V. He gave
details about types permitted uses. He explained the locational
criteria and how it differed from Commercial Zone criteria. He advised
that additional language was added to deal with special zone issues. He
talked about special circumstances and ways to provide flexibility. He
said the biggest issue yet to be determined was the maximum size for
grocery stores. He discussed signage, buffer requirements, and traffic
issues. On-the wall map he pointed out specific sites which would fit
the locational criteria; but he said the Commission would not be
designating any sites, only designating the type of zone.
o Associate Planner discussed grocery stores in particular, and staff's
efforts to determine appropriate size needed to fit in with the
character of the neighborhood. He advised that staff recommended
allowing residential to exist above commercial space and to allow home
occupations in this zone. He answered questions from Commissioners
pertaining to site landscaping and buffer requirements.
o Regarding comments received, Senior Planner advised that NPO #3
suggested that the spacing from other commercial sites should be a
minimum of 1 mile. However, he noted this would eliminate all but one
potential site. He discussed additional comments received and advised
that the main issues concerned the spacing between sites, the minimum
and maximum acreage for the sites, and the store size in the case of
grocery stores.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MARCH 2, 1992 PAGE 2
MENEM
o john Shonkwil 13425 SW 72nd, Tigard, spoke behalf of Albertsons
regarding grocery stores. He spoke about the preliminary application to
build an Albertsons and the ordinance system in place. He spoke about
the need for a Community Commercial zone and provided examples of areas
which need this type of zone. He provided information about Beaverton
commercial districts.
He said the key issue is the appropriate size for a grocery store. He
cited reasons why the size limit should be 50,000 square feet. He said
consumers wish to have more product choice. He advised that the larger
size store will not necessarily adversely effect the neighborhood. He
referred to the letter received from Marcott's Thrifway (see packet).
He pointed out building dates and named stores which were not mentioned
in the letter which are larger in size.
He referred to his February 24, 1992 letter (see packet) comparing
recently-built stores of various companies. He concluded that 50,000
square feet appeared to be the most feasible. He spoke about avoiding
conditional uses which would result if 30,000 square feet was the
limit. He talked about other types of retail operations, such as
variety and drug stores.
Concerning limitation of hours of operation, he suggested it would be
more appropriate to allow grocery stores to operate 24 hours a day to
meet consumer needs.
He suggested there may be good reasons to change the maximum site size
to 10 acres. He provided a site plan for the proposed Albertsons and
Payless stores to show (Exhibit A). He talked about landscaping and
screening requirements, suggesting 15 percent would be better than the
proposed 20 percent.
He submitted to the Commission a petition (Exibit B) which he said was
signed by 540 residents who are in favor of building an Albertsons
grocery store on the site at Scholls Ferry Road at Murray Boulevard.
o Associate Planner requested that Mr. Shonkwiler consider whether it is
appropriate to submit this petition concerning the specific site at this
hearing, as there is no application yet.
Mr. Shonkwiler clarified that this petition is merely to demonstrate the
interest in this type of business and the size proposed.
There was discussion as to the propriety of this type of petition.
Associate Planner recommended that Planning Commission allow Mr.
Shonkwiler to withdraw the petition. Mr. Shonkwiler declined to
withdraw the signed petition.
o Gary McMurray, Suite 435 Benjamin Franklin Plaza, stated he represents
the owners of property at Scholls Ferry and Murray, Mr. Scott Russell
and his family. He said it was important to have a zone that works. He
spoke about limiting grocery store size and the associated issues. He
stated he preferred the 50,000 square foot maximum.

.o
o Beverly Froui 12200 SW Bull Mountain Road, ted she was speakino for.,
herself. She asked the Commission to think about the goal of this
amendment. She read from the proposed 'amendment language pointing out
that "primarily neighborhood orientation" indicates the intention to not
attract substantial amounts of business from outside the area. She read
about the intent of the locational criteria, and she favored a 1 mile
distance spacing from other commercially designated areas. She pointed
out some conflicts in the wording, and she commented it would be
difficult to retrofit this zone into an already established community.
She brought up the issues of noise, lighting, and accompanying
enforcement problems. She said she favored this type of zone as it is
basically a good idea, but with careful limits. She did not agree that
a neighborhood needs a 24 hour grocery store. She suggested the
Commission take time and think through all the issues and define all the
terms.
o Craig Petrie, 9600 SW Capitol Highway, said he is a real estate broker.
He commended Associate Planner Offer and the staff for :heir efforts in
developing this zone amendment. He favored providing convenient
shopping for neighborhoods to promote conservation of gasoline. He
expressed his preference for a 50,000 square foot grocery store, as they
offer consumers more variety and better prices.
o Scott Russell, Scappoose, advised he owned property which Albertsons is
interested in. He described his property which is divided into several
different types of uses. He said the proposed CC zone would be a means
of eliminating some of the conflicting use problems. He pointed out
that having a commercial area established prior to residential
development, allows people to choose how close they live to a commercial
_ area. He favored increasing the size to 10 acres and the size to 50,000
square feet.
o Katie Dorsett, 13847 SW Hindon Court, said she lives near the proposed
Albertsons site. She talked about the discussions with many people
concerning what is needed to fill in the gap between Neighborhood
Commercial, which is supposed to be 2 acres, and the Commercial Zone,
which would be big stores. She said they arrived at 30,000 square feet,
because there needs to be something new. She said she would even favor
a maximum size of 25,000 square feet.
o Matt Markott, Meridian Apartments, advised he operates several Thriftway
Stores, including Murray Hill Thriftway. He discussed the various sizes
of Thriftway Stores. He said the reason for larger stores being built
in recent years is because the developers choose the larger store tin
build. He talked about some successful smaller stores, naming specific
stores which are around 25,000 square feet. He discussed the various
corporate agendas which dictate what size they are willing to build and
operate. He suggested the most appropriate size for a grocery store in
a neighborhood is not 40,000 square feet, but smaller.

o Don Duncombe, 17001 NE San Rafael, Portland, stated he is Real Estate
Manager for Albertsons Stores for the northwest. He commended Associate ;
Planner Jerry Offer for the work done on this proposed new Community
Commercial designation. He advised that limiting the size of grocery
stores to 40,000 or less would mean that only Thriftway will build the
store.
Commissioners objected to bringing the corporate strategies into the i
hearing. There was further discussion and Mr. Duncombe disagreed with
the Commission's viewpoint concerning the topics of concern.
Commissioner Barber advised that a debate was not the proper format for
this hearing.
Commissioner Castile suggested waiting until the next meeting to make a
decision based on the information which has been received. There was
agreement to delay the decision until the next meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
o Commission agreed to accept written testimony for seven days, the
deadline being March 9, 1992.
o Commissioner Boone expressed concern about some of the language
regarding pedestrians, bikes, and automobiles. He did not favor
regulating sidewalks, allowing drive-up windows, or establishing
densities in the case where residential units are mixed in with
Community Commercial.
o Commissioner Fessler agreed that it was important to take time to
C_ consider all the issues which have been brought up.
o Commissioner Moore pointed out that the most controversial issue seems
to be maximum square footage.
o Commissioner Hawley spoke about the need to be clear about the concept
of serving the-community and neighborhood with this new zone, and
perhaps there is a need to have two new zones to fit in between the two
existing ones.
o Commissioner Castile suggested there was a need to re-zone one or two
parcels, and he requested information from staff as to what areas are
available for building a large grocery store.
o Commissioner Barber said there was clearly a need for this type of
zone. She favored leaving home occupations as a permitted use and
agreed with previous comments about needing more information before a
recommendation can be made to Council. She commended staff for their
work on the proposed new Community Commercial Plan Designation, and she
thanked the NPOs for their input and the representatives from Albertsons
and Thriftway for their information.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MARCH 2, 1992 PAGE 6
o There was discussion regarding maximum size. Commissioner Castile
indicated concern for the. shopping center retailers and suggested
temporary sign limitation based on frontage. Monument signs were
discussed. Senior Planner provided clarification stating that each
business would be allowed to. have a temporary sign for 30 days four
times a.year. There was discussion regarding advantages of businesses
joining together to have several names on one sign.
Commissioner Saporta suggested limiting the size. Commissioners favored
24 square feet maximum with no one side larger than 12 square feet.

PLAN DESIGNATION to create a new Community Commercial Plan designation
and zoning district.
Associate Planner Jerry Offer updated the Commission concerning the
Community Commercial Plan Designation. He provided a brief history of
how this CPA originated. He advised the NPOs were provided with the
draft outline to review. He discussed responses received, which were
both in favor and against the amendment. He distributed copies of a
letter received from Marcott's Thriftway Store which provided a list of
typical stores in the area and their square foot size for comparison
purposes (see Exhibit A). He encouraged the Commissioners to pay
attention to the various sizes of stores they use during the next
month. There was discussion of services offered in various stores and
reasons to limit or not limit sizes of stores in this proposed zone
designation.
o Associate Planner described the features which make good sites and
explained why this type of site is limited. He talked about conditional
uses which might be permitted. He handed out a copy of a memo from
Craig A. Petrie dealing with issues of similar uses in CC zone as in CP
zoned property, landscaping requirements, and pedestrian access to sites
from residential areas (Exhibit B).

o Discussion followed concerning stores which are currently interested in
building. Drawbacks for residents were noted, and Associate Planner
explained proposed buffering standards. Commissioners discussed
signage, lighting, and pedestrian access issues.
o Associate Planner answered questions about fuel tanks, accessory
structures, canopies, automotive equipment and cleaning. Hours of
operation were seen as important to regulate. He advised these sites
were best for retail establishments geared to serve 1 1/2 mile area.
The role of competition was raised. He said the NPOs will review drafts
and provide written comments to Commission.

Dear Commissioners,
Thank you for your time in considering this new C-C zone. In spite
of some controversy regarding building size, I feel that the staff
has done an excellent job on your behalf in the drafting of the C-C
zone. I believe that the discussion of building size last night
was a response to the desires o` all the participants to find the
correct balance for communities in Tigard.
I agree with the comments of the commissioners that the C-C zone
criteria should not try to design the C-C areas but should be open
enough to allow current and future development. The principal
concern is to prohibit influx of traffic as would occur with a
store like Costco. Mr. Woolery stated that Fred Meyer stores would
not even consider a site of less than 20 acres. Therefore why not
allow the building size to be dictated by criteria on page II-1. 4.
Community Commercial of the 2/21/92 Draft; that is, facilities
that provide for the local community. A 15,000 square foot stereo
appliance sto~.e would probably draw business from outside the
community, as would a Costco type store. The safety for the
community and the city is that each application must be reviewed by
the city.
If the accepted grocery stores such as Safeway, Thriftway,
Albertsons, etc., need up to 50,000 square feet why not allow it?
Some areas will need stores of this size because of the zoned
density in existence such as multi family designations, and other
areas may need smaller stores due to the rural setting, such as the
Bull Mountair_ Area. The approval process can handle these
variations within one C-C zone.
Thank you for your time and thank you for your service to the city.
Respectfully,
Scott Russell

Dear Mr. Duncombe:
Reference is made to the recent telephone conversation we had regarding information to
present to the zoning committee for the City of Tigard.
Specifically, you had inquired as to the size of stores Safeway is currently building in this
market area. Safeway currently is building stores in the 50,000 square foot range and will be
looking at increasing the size in the near future. Safeway did construct some smaller stores
recently, but those stores were not specifically built at that size, but were built smaller due to
the restriction of available land at the particular location on which the store was built.
Specifically, we have been increasing the size of our stores to close to 50,000 square feet from
as far back as 1986. We opened stores in 1986, 1987, and 1988 at 48,000 square feet which
included our store at Lower Boones Ferry and Interstate 5 in Tualatin.
Our other recent stores opened were located at 181st and Halsey, 185th and Cornell, West
Eugene and 7antzen Beach, all just over 53,000 square feet in size; a store in Hillsboro just
over 48,000 square feet; and our most recent opening in Seaside was in excess of 42,000
square feet.
The trend in food store size has been increasing over time. In the middle seventies, we were
building 35,000 square feet. By the early eighties, we were building 42,000 square feet and
now in the early 90's, we are building 53,000 to 60,000 square feet. It appears this trend may
be continuing since it is noted that the Waremart stores will be 80,000 square feet both in the
Beaverton Mall and in South Salem.
It has been our experience that the increase in the size of grocery store buildings does not
necessarily relate directly to the expansion of the trade areas served. The additional size has
been taken up by special features that require additional floor space in a grocery store. Today,
the amount of the individual products that the public expects in a food store has grown to the
point that the amount of gondola space and peripheral specialty departments such as delis,
bakeries, floral departments, pharmacies, fresh fish, butcher meat, etc. all require additional
square footage and therefore, have driven the size of stores up. If small grocery stores were
the only consumer choice available, the likely outcome for the trade area population would be
to go outside of the trade area to the larger more discount regional operators due to price
differentials, and greater specialty offerings.

Recycled Paper
Mr. Don Duncombe

In summary, a full service grocery store today is in the 45,000 to 65,000 square foot range
and still serves basically the same trade area that a 25,000 to 35,000 square foot food store did
fifteen years ago. As stated above, this expansion of square footages is primarily generated by
the additional offerings a grocery store is now necessitated to carry by customer demand.
We appreciated discussing this issue with you over the telephone and would like to be kept
informed as to the position the committee takes on this very important issue of food store size
in i ie CRy of Tigard.

RE: City of Tigard
Commercial Use and Zoning Issue
Dear Don:
i
In response to your research inquiries, I can assure you that
retail grocery outlets constructed by my firm exceed 50,000 sq.ft.
in size within any metro marketing area we serve. Our current
average square footage slightly exceeds 53,750 square feet. This
size and requirement applies to either our conventional or
warehouse concepts.
1
Due to the constant increase of demands and needs by the
consumer, a grocery retail outlet cannot meet and satisfy these
needs in units less than 50,000 sq.ft. in size. Increased
perishable departments, especially produce, frozen foods and deli
areas have in turn increased our store size by some 41% during the
past 6 years.
Likewise, and due primarily to unrealistic landscape demands
imposed by various governmental agencies, property size
r'aquirements have grown in proportion. In order to facilitate the
retail grocery store's needs, a minimum of 5.51 acres is now
required or allocated to a freestanding facility.
Should someone or group feel that by limiting the size
considerably below the beforementioned square footage would
alleviate traffic impaction does not fully grasp the needs of
s todays consumer. In part, this approach is correct. The consumers
will leave the area and fill their needs elsewhere due to the lack
of selection and convenience. Increased energy consumption along
with polution becomes the major by-products of their thinking.
Retail grocery stores of 30,000 sq.ft. or lee,:; within the
Portland Metro area have either become or are becoming obsolete.
This size of facility has experienced increased failure or at best
has become extremely marginal in operation. Three primary examples
of this within the Tigard, Oregon area are the grocery outlets
located within the Canterbury, Payless and King City shopping
centers. Three additional cast-offs experienced within this trade
area were Luther's. Zupon's and Prairie Market. All were 30,000
square feet in size or less.
Exceptions will always exist as to the needs of our industry.
In outlying and rural areas, we have recently opened 40,900 square
foot units. Be advised however, that in the construction of these
units we have amply allowed for future expansion. Our expansion
forecast provides for an increased area of approximately 20.91%.
These expansion provisions are projected within the first five to
seven years of operation. We will not enter into a development
agreement that does not allow this provision.
I can only hope that this letter will assist you and our
industry as well in the establishment of development guidelines
that will be of mutual benefit to all concerned parties. If I can
be of further assistance in this matter, please contact me at your
earliest convenience.

RE: Community Commercial Zoning District
Written material for the record (allowed by Commissioners
at Monday March 2, 1992 hearing for up to seven days.)
Dear Commissioners,
Having a Community Commercial zone in Tigard will fill a blank
which has always existed in the zoning code. I applaud your
action to move forward and fill this void.
As we think about our future it is important to be able to
fulfill everyday shopping needs close to one's home or residence.
Gasoline will go to three or four dollars a gallon, if we don't
provide shopping opportunities close by within the community
people will just get on the arterials, continue to clog them up,
and continue to waste gasoline; for instance a shopping
opportunity on Bull Mountain will eliminate many trips people now
make down onto Pacific Highway, just as a shopping opportunity in
the western portion of Tigard will eliminate many traffic trips
people will make onto Scholls Ferry east of 135th. The scale of
a development in these or other potential areas within the City
will most likely be different in each case and so it is important
to have a code which has the flexibility to allow larger in some
cases and at the same time allow smaller in other cases.
As a commercial real estate broker I see the overloading of our
arterial systems as a major threat to our general livability.
Providing shopping opportunities within the community will help
change this traffic pattern we have seen get out of hand in the
Seattle area.
A key component of this COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL zone is found in
Jerry Offer's (Development Review Planner for City of Tigard)
memo to the Planning Commission dated 2-24-92 on page I-2 under
INTENT: He states that having commercial opportunities close to
neighborhoods (please note--more than one neighborhood) is a
primary intent making easy access for residents "where they may
be able to do their shopping or avail themselves of commonly used
services with a minimum of travel and a reduced need to enter
crowded major collector or arterial streets with their autos."

FAX: (503) 244-0123
Page Two
Please keep in mind that this COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL zone is
intended to serve more than just one small neighborhood and in
fact it is intended to serve a community area or "neighborhoods".
From my professional experience as a broker I can tell you that
the grocery business is made up of three segments:
1. Convenience stores
2. Grocery stores
3. and large warehouse stores such as Costco, and Cub foods
This zone was not intended for warehouse stores which draw from a
huge market far outside the community. One of the things this
zone is intended for is grocery stores.
From written testimony you have already received (received in the
planning department on January 31, 1992) from Marcott's Thriftway
Stores it is clear that "The grocery industry is now building
grocery stores which range from 15,000 Sq. Ft. to 50,000 Sq. Ft."
Knowing this I feel as a Commission you should allow a grocery
store up to 50,000 sq. ft. as an outright use. The staff has
proposed 40,000 sq. ft. as an outright use (with up to 60,000 Sq.
Ft. under conditional use) and I feel that at an appropriate
location if someone wants to propose a 43, 45, or 47 or 50,000
sq. St. store that the staff, planning commission, and city
council should not be burdened with the time and expense for a
conditional use application for the square footage between 40,000
& 50,000 sq. ft.----This just seems like a huge waste of time and
money.
To put it in prospective the grocery store at Murryhill (43,500
sq. ft. in size) would be about 50,000 Sq. Ft if it was approx.
32 feet wider which is about 1 & 1/2 times as wide as your normal
garage.
I urge you to allow a grocery store to be 50,000 sq. ft. in size
as an outright use.
Already in the proposed COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL zone are methods by
which you can control where you have larger grocery stores and
where you have smaller stores. You do it by controlling the
size (acreage) of any particular site. There are sites within
the City where both larger and smaller stores are appropriate.
Control the size of the site and you eliminate the possibility of
a larger store where there should be a smaller store but at the
same time don't restrict the zoning by size or over burden the
system with needless "conditional use" which would prevent a
larger store w1ilere a larger store should be.
i
a'
Page Three
Clearly in this issue of grocery store scale or size comments by
part of the grocery industry advocating smaller square footages
are simply because they want to eliminate competition.
Competition keeps us all sharp and competition is what provides
BETTER SERVICE and LOWER PRICES for communities and residents.
The last issue I would like to address is the "draw" or the
"market" for grocery stores. Warehouse stores definitely draw
from a very large area, far greater than the Community area we
are dealing with in this zone. Grocery stores up to 50,000 Sq.
Ft. are the normal size stores in this day and age. Some are
larger, some are smaller. These size stores are all shopped
locally, and only locally.
The buyer who happens to shop at a community store who lives
somewhere else does so because he/she is going by the store on
the way to somewhere else or they are visiting someone close by
in the community) They are not drawn into the community because
of that size of normal grocery store. (If it was a warehouse
size store than of course they would be drawn due to the, size)
These size stores serve local markets, they do not draw from the
outside.
The code as proposed allows you to control the scale of a project
or site----some will be suited for smaller, some for larger.
I urge you to adopt a Community Commercial zoning district and to
have up,to 50,000 Sq. Ft. as an allowed grocery store use for the
reasons cited above.
Sincerely yours,

Tigard Planning Commission
13125 S.W. Hall Blvd.
Tigard, OR. 97223
Dear Commissioners:
What we perceived from the last planning commission meeting of March 2nd 1992 was that you,
the Commissioners, were concerned about allowing a 40,009 square foot supermarket in a
residential setting. However, you were also concerned about setting size guidelines which would
not attract the development of a supermarket. Also, there was concern as to whether a 25,000 sq
ft store could effectively anchor a neighborhood shopping center. These points are addressed
below.
#1 Will the grocery industry build a 25,000 sq ft store?
YES!
If you set your guidelines at 25,000 sq ft, our industry will build a store of this size. If you set it at
40,000 sq ft we will build one of that size. Our industry will build a store as large as you will let
us. Setting city guidelines.at 25,000 sq ft will also not exclude anyone from developing a
supermarket in a community commercial zone. It simpfly requires everyone to play by the city's
rules and not force the city to play by corporate agendas. A corporate agenda is based on the
maximization of profit. Cities are charged with protecting livability of neighborhoods.
Attached, please find infortriation supporting the fact that you will find extreme interest and
competition for sites with a 25,000 sq ft size limitation.
#2. Can a 25,000 sq. ft. store effectively anchor a neighborhood shopping center?
YES!
This question is answered by looking at the existing shopping centers in our area. Below, we
have sited over a dozen examples of successful centers anchored by stores of this size. These
centers were build between about 1969 and 1990. That, however, is irrelevant. The customers of
these centers do not care when they were built. It is only important to them that these stores
provide the services needed by the neighborhood. These centers show that even an older 25,000
sq ft store can effectively anchor a shopping center in today's market. A new 25,000 sq ft store
C would only add to the viability of such a center.
Following are supermarkets in the area that are successfully anchoring shopping centers:
NOR
Center's Locatlon Anchor Tenant
Canyon Lane Center 12,000 sq ft Thriftway
Wizers Shopping Center 15,000 sal ft Wizers Store
Mt. Park Shopping Center 25,000 sq ft Th riftway
Lake Grove Shopping Center 22,000 sq ft Lake Grove Market
Baseline Shopping Center 24,000 sq ft Thriftway
Aloha Shopping Center 27,000 sq ft Safeway
Willamette Shopping Center 15,000 sq ft Thriftway
Bel Aire Shopping Center 25,000 sq ft Thriftway
Cedar Hills Shopping Center 22,000 sq ft Safeway
Cedar Mill. Shopping Center 24,000 sq ft Safeway
Raleigh Hills Shopping Center 25,000 sq ft Kienows
#3. Will Tigard stand alone in the development of a zone which limits the size of neighborhood
supermarkets to 25,000 sq ft.
INTO!
The City of Lake Oswego limits the size of grocery stores in their neighborhood commercial zone
to 25,000 sq ft.
The City of Tualatin limits the size of grocery stores in any commercial zone outside of General:
Commercial to 10,000 sq. `ft. They further require a minimum of 25% landscaping.
C The City of West Linn does not have a size restriction for any commercial zone. However we
were informed by staff that any development which included a grocery store in excess of 25,000 sq
ft would most likely not be allowed in any zone outside General Commercial.
City of Gresham limits supermarkets in commercial zones other than General Commercial to
35,000 sq ft. They further limit the size of Other Retail/ Drugstores to 10,000 sq ft.
The following cities allow conventional supermarkets only in General Commercial zones:
The City of Milwaukie
The City of Oregon City
The City of Forest Grove '
The City of Gladstone
The City of Hillsboro
The only municipality we could locate that would allow a supermarket in excess of 35,000 sq ft in
other than General Commercial zones is the City of Beaverton.
Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to contact me regarding any of these issues.

Tigard area which would include grocery stores. United is definitely interested
in building grocery stores in this area. The size of these stores would be
30,000 square feet, which is large enough to include all the necessary amenities
to serve the community. United Grocers is prepared to finance and support an
individual for these stores when the sites become available and upon completion
of the site studies.

Dear Matt;
You recently asked if I would give you some thoughts on sizes of grocery store facilities.
I understand you are going to address a local planning organization regarding this subject.
The size of a store will normally be determined by the area it is intended to serve. In cases
where the stores are smaller, the trade area is quite limited, and may only reach into the
immediate neighborhood. As you would expect, the larger store will draw many more
customers from a greater distance. Most new supermarkets are larger than ever before in
order to accommodate greater customer traffic into the expanded department offerings.
Stores are now ranging from around 45,000 to over 80,000 square feet. 'T'hese can draw
customers from as far away as 15 miles, but their primary trade area is somewhere between
3 1/2 and 6 miles (keep in mind these are radius distances, so a 3 1/2 mile draw is a seven
mile spread)
United Grocers has no policy regarding the size of our stores. We will not decline a
location merely because the store's size would not meet a minimum standard. In fact, some
of our more successful stores are in the 20,000 to 30,000 square foot category. We have
reviewed a number of sites both within and outside of the Portland general trade area where
we felt a store of 20 or 25,000 feet would be suitable. Ass you know, we are in serious
negotiation for a 15,000 square foot unit in the Hollywood district presently. We have also
been looking at a location in the Barnes Road vicinity (for over two years) that would
support a 20 to 25,000 square foot store. These are only two of a number we have
considered or are considering.
In the recent past, we have seen the larger chain stores (Safeway, Albertson's, Fred Meyer,
etc;.) abandon a smaller location in favor of new, larger stores. We presently distribute to
a number of United Grocers members at locations which were once chain stores and are

now being operated by independent grocers such as yourself. They are successful and
profitable, and they continue to provide a very necessary service to a neighborhood area.
You mentioned a portion of your conversation with the planning group would deal with r
appropriate sizes for the "neighborhood commercial" zone. If I didn't say it above, I
certainly implied it. The larger the store, the more it will draw from outside its immediate
neighborhood area. That area can be considered to be a radius from the store of
approximately 1 1/2 miles. It is difficult to establish a maximum in size, but 20,000 to y
25,000 square feet is probably appropriate for a neighborhood commercial zone. If the
lower number were used, there should probably be a provision that it might be "variancable"
10 to 15%. As stores reach toward 30,000 square feet, they begin to bring customers in
from outside the "neighborhood". There is no question a store exceeding 35,000 square feet
is going to be more than a neighborhood grocery store.
I could go on, but it would become repetitive. To summarize, a reasonable limitation for
a grocery store in a neighborhood commercial zone is 25,000 square feet. Anything more,
with very limited exception, will bring customers from outside the neighborhood's
boundaries. We at United Grocers believe these "smaller" stores have a definite place in
the -industry, and can fit into many well-selected locations.
I hope this hasn't been too lengthy. If I can answer any questions please let me know.
Sincerely,

Bear Matt:
I am writing to expand upon my letter to you of January 6, 1992, regarding store sizes in
neighborhood commercial zones. United Grocers is continuously seeking new store
locations and would never turn down a site merely because it is limited to 30,000 square feet
of floor space. There has always been and will continue to be bona fide need for stores of
this size in smaller communities and neighborhoods where the store would be intended to
service the immediately surrounding residents.
Not long ago, Bob Lamb was told he could not build a store exceeding 25,000 square feet
in Mountain Park. True, he would have liked to build larger, but accepted the neighbor-
hood zone limitation, building what is today a very successful store. We have looked at a
site in the Rose City area of Portland. Our assessment of that location was a 28,000 square
foot store would be quite suitable. One of the large chains, however, has come to the
property owner with an offer of a 54,000 square foot "Marketplace" grocery store. Such a r
store would reach out far beyond the immediate neighborhood. It would also create a great
deal more traffic than the 28,000 square foot store, probably be open 24 hours, and bring
shoppers from as faf away as 4 or 5 miles.
Turning this around, it is accurate to say that if United Grocers were told we could no
longer build stores smaller than 30,000 square feet, our expansion efforts would be severely
curtailed.
Please feel free to prgvide a copy of this letter to the Tigard City Planning Commission in
support of a 30,000 square foot limitation for the neighborhood commercial grocery store.
You can further assure them that if properties become available within their city where such
a store might be built, United Grocers would have genuine interest in examining any such
location.

To Whom It May Concern,
There has been a great deal of rhetoric by certain parties
pertaining to the size of grocery stores currently being built,
both in the Portland metropolitan area, and across the nation.
There is a fundamental difference between independent retailers'
size requirements and two of the more recognizable grocery chains
in Safeway and Albertsons.
The independent grocery store is built to service the needs of a
specific community or neighborhood. Albertsons and Safeway have
long since abandoned the strategy of developing stores in small
towns, preferring larger stores in densely populated areas. Those
specific chains have corporate policies which strictly prohibit the
construction of stores less than 30,000 square feet, so, naturally
their representatives would argue against building any store less
then their smallest "footprint" or standard design.
It's interesting to note that another prominent grocery store
chain, Food Zion, which opened 103 stores in 1991 with plans to
open an additional 125 units in 1992, constructs three different
sizes of buildings, the largest of which barely exceeds 30,000 '
square feet. Food Lion targets sites that support one of those
three "footprints". Their emergence as the fastest growing grocery
chain in the country supports our claim that the medium size store
as a viable, primary grocery operation can more effectively cater
to the needs of the consumer than a larger, policy driven chain.

Dear Sir/Madam:
RE: SITE SELECTION CRITERIA FOR THRIFTWAY STORES, INC.
Thriftway commissions site studies of available locations and then
makes decisions with the potential store owner on what size store
would best fit the marketing area or individual community. Thriftway
has built stores ranging in size from 21,000 to 46,000 square feet.
We also, on occasion, encourage operators to build, lets say a 25,000
square foot store that is easily expandable in future to 35,000
square feet.
In todays market you can build a full service super market including
large produce and meat departments, bakery, service deli, floral and
a full grocery department in a size range of 25,000 to 30,000 square
feet.
If we can be of further help, please contact our office.
Best regards,
Y

Dear City Council Members,
S.~in,T v ~a ..~swwclc rm.u-~4 a~ cfla3 /~Z
As you are aware, Tuesday April 28th you will be reviewing a proposal from the Planning
Commission for a new Community Commercial zone. As a member of the grocery
industry, I have been asked by NPO 7 to council them on supermarket sizes that may be
allowed in this new zone and to provide testimony on this matter.
There has been a great deal of rhetoric by some in our industry regarding the
appropriate size of supermarket to allow in this new zone. Since supermarkets will have
the greatest impact on Tigard's residential areas of all proposed permitted uses within
this new zone, careful consideration should be given to this issue.
The Planning Commission has expressed a desire to protect the neighborhoods from
the detriments of a large supermarket. They withdrew the option for conditional uses
up to 60,000 sq. ft in an attempt to do just that. What they seem to have overlooked is
that a 40,000 sq. ft. limitation on supermarkets will not protect the neighborhoods.
The largest supermarket in Tigard today is the 44,000 sq ft Albertons in King City,
Building one of the largest stores in Tigard in the middle of one of your neighborhoods
would not be protecting those communities.
^ Some members of our industry will do all that is in their power not to be limited to a
25-30,000 sq. ft. store in any area. If allowed to build a 40,000 sq ft store, they know
they will attract more people from a greater distance. However, when limited to a
smaller size store our industry continues to demonstrate it will either build new stores
or remodel old stores which fit the limitations imposed.
It is up to the City Council to best determine what limitations best protect the livability
of its neighborhoods rather than which limitations best reflect certain corporations
marketing plans. Our industry has and will continue to alter its corporate agendas to fit
limitations imposed by municipalities.
Enclosed, please find information intended to assist you in determining the correct size
of supermarket to be permitted within this zone. (Much of this information was not
available for consideration for the Planning Commission.)
Should you have any questions, I will be available to answer them at your public meeting
scheduled for April 28, 1992 or you may call me at 503-
626-6463.

Dear Commissioners: - ' '
What we perceived from the last planning commission meeting of March 2nd 1992 was that you,
the Commissioners, were concerned about allowing a 40,000 square foot supermarket in a
residential setting. However, you were also concerned about setting size guidelines which would
not attract the development of a supermarket. Also, there was concern as to whether a 25,000 sq
ft store could effectively anchor a neighborhood shopping center. These points are addressed
below.
#1 Will the grocery industry build a 25,000 sq ft store?
YESI
If you set your guidelines at 25,000 sq ft, our industry will build a store of this size. If you set it at
40,000 sq ft we will build one of that size. Our industry will build a store as large as you will let
us. Setting city guidelines at 25,000 sq ft will also not exclude anyone from developing a
supermarket in a community commercial zone. It simply requires everyone to play by the city's
rules and not force the city to play by corporate agcsndas. A corporate agenda is based on the
maximization of profit. Cities are charged with protecting livability of neighborhoods.
Attached, please find information supporting the fact that you will find extreme interest and
competition for sites with a 25,000 sq ft size limitation.
#2. Can a 25,000 sq. ft. store effectively anchor a neighborhood shopping center?
XESI
This question is answered by looking at the existing shopping centers in our area. Below, we
have sited over a dozen examples of successful centers anchored by, stores of this size. These
centers were build between about 1969 and 1990. That, however, is irrelevant. The customers of.
these centers do not care when they were built. It is only important to them that these stores
provide the services needed by the neighborhood. These centers show dig even an older 25,000
l sq ft store can effecthrely anchor a shopping center in today's market. A new 25,000 sq ft stone
would only add to the viability of such a center.
Following are supermarkets in the area that are successfully anchoring shopping centers:
Centees Location Anchor 'il'enLm
Canyon Lane Center 12,000 sq ft Thriftway
Wizers Shopping Center 15,000 sq ft Wizers Store
Mt. Park Shopping Center; 25,000 sq ft 11wiftway

Cedar Hills Shopping Center 22,000 sq ft Safeway
Cedar Dill Shopping Center 24,000 sq ft Safeway
Raleigh Dills Shopping Center 25,000 sq ft Kienows
0. Will Tigard stand alone in the development of a zone which lets the size of neighborhood
supermarkets to 2500 sq ft.
NO! ,
The City of Lake Oswego limits the size of grocery stores in their neighborhood commercial zone
to 25,000 sq ft.
The City of Tualatin limits the size of grocery stores in any commercial zone outside of General'
Commercial to 10,000 sq. ft. They further require a minimum of 25% landscaping.
C The City of West Linn does not have a size restriction for any commercial zone. However we
were informed by staff that any development which included a grocery store in excess of 25,000 sq
ft would most likely not be allowed in any zone outside General Commercial.
i.
City of Gresham limits supermarkets in commercial zones other than General Commercial to
35,000 sq ft. They further limit the size of Other Retail/ Drugstores to 10,000 sq ft.
The following cities allow conventional supermarkets only in General Commercial zones:
The City of Milwaukie
The City of Oregon City
The City of Forest Grove
The City of Gladstone
The City Of 1-i1119boro
The only municipality we could locate that would allow a supermarket in excess of 35,000 sq ft in
other than General Commercial zones is the City of Beaverton.

P.O. Box 23397
Tigard, Oregon 97223
Dear Jerry,
I realize you and your staff have already developed your final
proposal for the new Community Commercial District. However, I
r
would appreciate it if you would consider the following points I have
developed on this matter. They may be of some assistance in
developing future recommendations regarding the possible
application of this new zone.
ORIGINAL INTENT OF NOGIMORWOOD COMMRCIAL
In determining the requirements for a supermarket within the newly
proposed Community Commercial District, you should consider the
reasoning for including supermarkets as a permitted use within this
zone. The current Neighborhood Commercial zoning, which has
always allowed for neighborhood oriented grocery stores, is
considered outdated as it relates to supermarkets, due to the size
limitations imposed. Therefore, in order for the City of Tigard to
allow for neighborhood oriented grocery stores, they hzve 3 options:
1) increase the, "size of food stores allowed under Neighborhood
muff
NKM
t
Commercial 2 allow General Commercial. zoning in residential ar
eat
3) create a new commercial zone which would allow for today's
neighborhood supermarkets. If a new ' zone is developed, the original
intent of Neighborhood Commercial, as it relates to grocery, stores,
should be adopted.
When NC was developed it was intended to allow '®r neighborhood
grocery stores (Icon's Metzger Grocery Store). - At"'that time the ,
grocery industry was building stores ranging in size from
approximately 2,500 sq. ft. up to 25,000 sq.ft.,the_lower _ en4 el '
the sDtctram being allowed in "neighborhood areas". This
protected neighborhoods from the development ofjuq unnecessarily . '
large commercial operations. Times, however, have. changed. The
grocery industry is now building stores which ran in size from
15,000 sq. ft. to 50,000 ( even larger for warehouse stores).
Today,if the City of Tigard desires to have grocery' stores built in
neighborhood areas, they must allow for larger stores
than are permitted under Neighborhood Commercial. The question is,
how large. In determining this, the original intents;of protecting the +
neighborhoods from large commercial developments,; should not be
disregarded. The new Community Commercial should again allow for
the (over eyed of the snectrgm of current supermarket sizes as
did the original Neighborhood Commercial. This would suggest a
store of no larger than 25,000 sq.ft.. A f adopted, this limitation
in size would protect our neighborhoods livTgbilily for
future generdtions as the limitation -in size' a blished in
Neiuhborhoi)d -Commercial has in the past. e
VIABILITY OF A 25,000 sq. ft, SUM MARKET
The new Community Commercial District should allow for a size-
limitation which would allow a neighborhood grocery store to be a
viable ooperation while still protecting Tigard's residential areas.
We should define viability as both economically feasible and having
the ability to satisfy the needs of today's consumers. ;
r
The economic feasibility of a 25,000 sq. ft. or smaller store can be.'
demonstrated by the number of those in operation or in various
stages of development. The average, Thriftway store is 27,800 sq.
ft.. The mean size, however, is only 24,150 sq. ft.. We are currently
in negotiation for sites to construct stores of 13,500 sq. ft.(
Hollywood District 22-24,000 sq. ft. ( SW Miller. and Barnes),
27,000 sq.ft. ( Sellwood We also build very large supermarkets
where the location allows ( Bales Milltowner: 44,QM sq. ft.,
Wilsonville: 46,000 sq. ft. and are currently considering a 46,000 sq.
ft. store in the Tualatin area ,
Safeway currently operates many stores between the 22,000 sq. ft.
and 30,000 sq. ft. ( Cedar Hills, Cedar Mill, 185th & 'V HWY, 13th &
SW Jefferson, Hall & Pacific HWY plus many others).
Sentry Stores, Inc. currently operates 67 stores in Oregon. All but 14
of these stores are less than 25,000 sq. ft. in size. They market '
themselves as being "Just Your Size" and target neighborhood areas.
As for a 25,000 sq. ft. stores ability to satisfy the needs of today's
consumers, I would again point to the number of these stores in
operation today. It would be impossible for this many stores to be "
operating and not be satisfying consumers needs. There are
approximately 2 supermarkets in ®reg6a under 25,00 sq. ft. for
every one supermarket between 35,000 sq. ft. and 40,000 sq. ft..
I can, as a businessman, appreciate the desire to build larger
supermarkets. They pull customers from a much .`greater distance
and can be extremely' profitable. However. --that does not negate
the fact that'--these- scraper large stores are gtlll best suited
for General Commercial Districts where they have operated
for years.
MSSI 1;LE COURSE OF ACTI®~1 '
If 'there is any question what size supermarket to allow in
Community Commercial, I would suggest initially allowing for a
25,000 sq. ft. store. If this limitation does not promote the
development of supermarkets in a timeframe which corresponds
.s
r
S
with the needs of residents ( not simply the needs, of certain sectorg
of the grocery industry), then the limitation on square footage could
be increased. This will not happen however. Prior to any need
arising, you will see intense competition from our industry, fpr sites
with a 25,000 sq. ft. limitation. If,' on the other hand, you begin by
allowing a commercial development of 40,000 sq. ft. within city
neighborhood areas and it is determined, -as I am stare it will be, that
these large stores are still best suited for General'. Commercial
areas, it will be too late to remedy the situation by reducing the
allowable square footage. One or more of Tigard's neighborhoods
will already have been burdened by unnecessarily large commercial
operations. f 1. '
The development of a Community Commercial District is an
extremely important issue which will have a lasting impact on many
of Tigard's neighborhoods. The type of approach outlined above will
insure the least impact on our neighborhoods livability to ,
accomplish the goals of the Community Commercial District.
'T'hank you for taking the time to consider these points. If you have r
any questions, please feel free to contact me at 4503)626-6463.-
Please keep me informed.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
AGENDA OF: April 28. 1992 DATE SUBMITTED: April 15, 1992
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Code Amendment to PREVIOUS ACTION: Planning Commission
allow religious assembly as conditi Hearina - April 6. 1991
use in Profes nal commercial zon PREPARED BY: Offer/Bewersdorff
DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY: Ed Murphy
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Should the City revise the Development Code to allow religious assembly
(churches) as a conditional use in the C-P, Commercial Professional zone?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Development Code Chapter 18.64.040 (A) be amended
to allow churches as a conditional use in the C-P zone.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Korean Baptist Church proposed this amendment in order to apply for use
of the City University facilities as a church. The C-P zone is the city's
~ only commercial zoning district that does not allow religious assembly either
as an outright or conditional use. Since churches typically operate at times
that are different from the typical operating hours of most uses permitted in
the C-P zone, conflicts or impacts resulting from religious assembly uses
should be minimal. Churches are also similar to and compatible with the
scale of development now permitted in the C-P zone. No comments or concern
have been expressed by the NPO's or any agency notified of the proposal..
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the change as recommended by the Planning Commission by adopting
the attached ordinance.
2. Deny the amendment and retain the existing code provisions.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Planning Commissioners
FROM: Jer Offer, Development Review Planner
DATE: March 25, 1992
SUBJECT: Zone Ordinance Amendment ZOA 92-0002
SUMMARY
The Korean Baptist Church has proposed an amendment to Chapter
18.64 of the Community Development Code to list religious
assemblies (churches) as a conditional use in the C-P zoning
district (Professional /Administrative Office Commercial District).
Attached is a copy of Chapter 18.64 of the Community Development
Code. The proposed amendment would add religious assemblies at
Section 18.64.040.A.4.
The applicant's statement submitted with this application asserts
that because churches typically operate at times (presumably
Saturdays and Sundays) that are different than the typical weekday
operating hours for the majority of. uses permitted in the C-P zone,
conflicts or impacts resulting from religious assembly uses should
be minimal. In addition, the conditional use process requires that
effects of a potential religious assembly use, and therefore
possible mitigation measures, be reviewed on a.case by case basis.
Staff concurs with the applicant's statement with regard to the
relatively minimal potential for conflicts between religious l
assemblies and other uses permitted in the C-P zoning district due
to the offset of operating hours and the ability of the conditional
use review process to consider mitigation measures. Permitting
religious assembly uses in the C-P district would be consistent
with the purpose section for the C-P zoning district (Code Section
18.64.010). This section states:
112. To accommodate the location of intermediate uses between
residential districts and areas of more intense
development;
5. To provide a range of compatible and supportive uses."
Since religious assembly uses provide for the needs of area
residents but with impacts such as traffic levels that exceed
normal residential area impacts, religious assembly uses can be
C viewed as an intermediate usage between residential usage and more
intensive commercial uses. Traffic impacts from religious assembly
i

uses upon permitted C-P uses would typically be negligible due to
the different hours of operations of these uses. This difference
in operating hours may also provide for opportunities for churches
and neighboring other uses sharing parking lots. In addition,
typical religious assembly buildings and development sites are of
a size that is similar to and largely compatible with the scale of
development of other uses permitted in the C-P zoning district.
Therefore, staff concludes that allowing religious assembly uses as
a conditional use in the C-P zoning district would be supportive of
the purposes of the C-P zoning district.
COMMENTS
^1
Staff has notified all NPOs, all abutting cities and Washington
County, and the city's Engineering Department of the proposed
amendment. All returned requests for comments received so far have
indicated no comment or concern with the proposal. Any subsequent
comments will be provided to the City Council when this proposed
amendment is forwarded for final review.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a
recommendation for approval of ZOA 92-0002 to the City Council to
add religious assemblies as a conditional use in the C-P zoning
district under Code Section 18.64.040.A.4.

ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Code Amendment PREVIOUS ACTION. Planning Commission
Disabled Person Parkin & Gravel P - Hearing - April 6, 1992
in for Fleet ora a PREPARED BY: Offer/Bewersdorff
DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY: Ed Murphy
ISSUE BEFO THEN COUNCIL
Should the City revise the Development Code to: (1) require consistency with
state and federal standards for disabled parking and (2) provide standards
for fleet storage or construction equipment on gravel parking lots?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Development Code Sections 18.106.020 and
18.106.050 be amended to require consistency with state and federal disabled
parking standards and to provide for gravel parking for fleet storage. #
INFORMATION SUNIIMARY-
The most recent changes in the Americans with Disabilities Act caused staff i
to propose amendments to the Community Development Code which would simply
require consistency with state and federal standards for disabled person
parking rather than establishing a separate City standard. The general terms
proposed will avoid the City needing to revise the Code in the future if
federal or state laws change. Handouts of the federal and state standards 3
will be maintained and provided to prospective developers.
In addition, staff is proposing standards under which gravel parking lots can
be used for fleet or construction equipment storage. The City receives
numerous requests each year from people who would like to develop gravel
parking lots rather than pave large expanses of area for fleet storage and or
construction equipment. The standards are an attempt to reduce impact on
residentially developed areas from dust, dirt on public streets and erosion
into water courses while allowing gravel parking in limited circumstances.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of both changes. The NPO's
suggested only minor typographic changes.
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the changes as recommended by the Planning Commission by adopting
the attached ordinance.
2. Revise the proposed changes by specifically listing the state or federal
disabled parking standards and make selected changes to the gravel
parking standards.
3. Approve the disability standards and retain the existing standards
to continue to require paved parking for all circumstances.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Pat Reilly, City Administrator
FROM: Ed Murphy, Community Development Director
DATE: April 16, 1992
SUBJECT: Zone Ordinance Amendment ZOA 92-0003
The Planning Division staff proposes the attached amendments to
Community Development Code Chapter 18.106 related to parking
facilities. Proposed deletions are noted in brackets [
Proposed additions are underlined.
The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal in a public hearing
on April 6, 1992. No one testified in support of or in opposition
to the proposal. The Planning Commission recommends approval of
the proposed Code amendment as currently written. Minutes of the
Commission hearing are attached.
r
DISABLED PERSON PARKING
Staff proposes the attached amendments to Code Sections 18.106.020
to remove Code requirements related to disabled person parking
spaces that are inconsistent with provisions of the Oregon Revised
Statutes and the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. Since
state and federal laws supersede local laws, unless the local laws
are stricter, staff proposes that the Community Development Code
simply require consistency with state and federal standards for
disabled person parking rather than establishing a separate City
standard. The general terms which describe the standards will
avoid the City needing to revise the Code in the future if federal
or state laws change further. Information regarding cities'
responsibilities related to the Americans with Disabilities Act is
also attached.
GRAVEL PARKING AREAS
Staff receives numerous inquiries each year from people who would
like to develop gravel surfaced parking lots rather than paved
parking as required by the current standard of the Community
Development Code. So far, we have not had anyone push the question
to the point of a developer sponsored Code amendment proposal and
no variances to this standard have been approved in several years.
This issue has come up again several times recently in discussions
with different prospective parking lot developers. These recent
inquiries have been related to parking lots for fleet storage
and/or construction equipment storage. Staff has drafted the
attached proposed ordinance amendments to provide a flexible means
Now
of dealing with this issue in limited circumstances. The proposal
sets limits on where gravel lots would be permitted and would
require a landowner to enter into an agreement by which the City
could require paving if problems arise with the gravel parking area
or if the use of the site changes.
RECOMMENDATION 3
i
Staff recommends approval of the proposed revisions to Community j
Development Code Chapter 18.106 related to disabled person parking
standards. Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval. of
the proposed amendments to Chapter 18.106 to allow gravel parking
areas for fleet storage and construction equipment storage.

Community Development Code Chapter 18.106 to: 1) amend standards for
disabled person parking spaces to requi.re consistency with state and
federal laws; and 2) to allow gravel surfaced parking lots for fleet

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSLv
o Commissioner Castile asked for clarification concerning the 100 foot
distance from public right-of-way. Associate Planner explained the
purpose of this distance requirement is to avoid dust blowing into the
public right-of-way. There was discussion concerning the unsightly
appearance of gravel lots and the need for sufficient screening and
landscaping.
o Commissioner Boone suggested changing the language on page 3, I. 3. item
b. to read, "If there is a change in the type of use", which gives the
Director authority to require paving a lot in certain instances.
o President Fyre favored leaving the language somewhat open as it would
give the Director discretion to require paving prior to adverse affects
occurring.
o There was discussion about Section 18.106.050, I. 1. regarding City
street standards for asphalt and concrete surfaces. Commissioner Moore
asked Assoicate Planner to request clarification on this from City
Engineer and get back to Commission with information.
* Commissioner Moore moved and Commissioner Fessler seconded to approve
Part I of the amendment as proposed by staff. Motion passed unanimously
by Commissioners present.
o There was further discussion concerning gravel lots.
o Commissioners Saporta and Moore expressed concern about screening issues.
o Commissioner Boone was concerned with the amount of dust which might be ,
generated. 1
o Commissioner Hawley suggested the more screening the better but felt 250
feet was too great a distance to require for buffer from residentially
developed areas. Discussion followed concerning the appropriate
distance for a buffer between neighborhood areas and gravel lots.
* Commissioner Boone moved and Commissioner Fessler seconded to approve
Part II of the parking lot amendment except to change the language in I.
3. a. from "Gravel parking areas shall not be permitted within 250 feet
_ of any residentially zoned or residentially developed area to 100
feet. Motion passed by majority of Commissioners present, with-
Co missioners Saporta and Moore voting "Nay."

INFORMATION SUMMARY
a
TMC 3.44.015 A-E requires that whenever a property is proposed for sale by the City, a public hearing
must be held before the City Council to solicit public testimony to determine if the proposed sale is in
the public interest. After the hearing, the Council shall determine whether it will offer the property for
sale and what the minimum acceptable price shall be.
On the March 10, 1992 consent agenda, the City Council indicated its intent to propose the sale of this
property, and set the minimum acceptable price at the appraised value of $75,500. This hearing will
satisfy the remaining requirement and will allow staff to proceed with the sale process.
