ORDINANCE CONSIDERATION: PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON SW NORTH DAKOTA STREET a. City Engineer Wooley reviewed the Staff Report. A petition was received requesting that parking be prohibited along S.W. North Dakota Street between Tiedeman and 115th. (See staff report on file with the meeting material.) \ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 13, 1992 - PAGE 2 Mr. Wooley's report advised that parking restrictions will enhance safety by improving sight distance and by assuring that the shoulder areas are available for pedestrian and bicycle refuge. b. After brief discussion there was a motion by Councilor Schwartz, seconded by Councilor Kasten, to approve the ordinance. Councilor Schwartz advised that, while he not generally a proponent of establishing "no parking" zones, he thought this instance represented safety concerns and therefore the parking restrictions were a good idea. C. Mayor called upon members of the audience who indicated a desire to testify on this issue: • Bill Shank, 10593 S.W. North Dakota, noted the street configuration near his residence and of the need for parking in the area. Councilor Johnson advised, that as development is completed along the street, parking would not be allowed there eventually in any event. She noted the need to err on the side of safety. d. The Mayor called for the reading of the ordinance (see b above for motion on the floor). ORDINANCE NO. 92-28 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TMC 10.28.130 TO PROHIBIT PARKING ON A PORTION OF SW NORTH DAKOTA STREET. Motion was approved by a majority vote of Council present; Councilor Fessler voted "Nay." Councilor Johnson urged staff to talk to the neighbors , about their limited parking problems. e. Edith Carnahan, resident in the area, questioned why she had to pay for street improvements and noticed nearby new development where sidewalks and curbs were not constructed. City Engineer advised that the new development was classified as a "minor land partition" (i.e., less than 4 lots) and such improvements were not required at this time. However, waivers of non- remonstrance were signed and when the remaining half- street improvements are to be done in this area, the property owners will be required to pay for the work at that time. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 13, 1992 - PAGE 3 A 11 f. Council discussion followed on safety concerns. Bikepaths, according to the City Engineer, would be required on both sides of the street to encourage bicycling on the correct sides of the street. Mr. Wooley noted difficulty in making connection of right-of--way areas along this street. 6. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW/UPDATE (Continued from Study Session): • Western Bypass: After hearing update on status of the Bypass process from the City Administrator, City Engineer and Community Development Director, majority council (4-1; Councilor Johnson dissenting) consensus was for the City to continue to participate in the process. Councilor Johnson noted her continuing concern with the Murray Boulevard Extension remaining as an option and expressed misgivings in participation in the process. City Administrator recommended that the city remain involved in the ODOT process (Draft Environmental Impact Study - DEIS) to persist in voicing the City's objection to the Murray Road extension option. Community Development Director Murphy reviewed the Land Use, Transportation, Air Quality (LUTRAQ) alternative. (See October 13, 1992 memorandum from Ed Murphy to Pat Reilly which has been filed with -the Council packet material.) ' • Cooperative Library Advisory Board Representation: Yvonne Burgess' term as CLAB representative has expired. After discussion, council consensus was to appoint City Administrator as primary representative with the Library Director designated as the alternate. This representation will more closely match the representation of CLAB membership from the other member libraries. In addition, the Administrator and Library Director have benefit of direct access to the City Counc3_1 and are familiar with their viewpoints on financial matters. Council asked that the Administrator notify Ms. Burgess and to express thanks and appreciation for her willingness to serve for the last few years. • Metzger Park Local Improvement District (LID): Council discussed withdrawal from the Metzger Park LID. Councilor Kasten advised he would not participate in the discussion noting a conflict of interest because he lives in the subject area. City Administrator noted the double taxation implications for these City of Tigard residents since they pay for parks in the City's tax base. ~r C. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 13, 1992 - PAGE 4 s } f r v Council consensus was to direct staff to approach the C Washington County Board of Commissioners requesting withdrawal of the Tigard portion now participating in the Metzger Park LID. • Transportation Project: At the last Council meeting, Council decided not to fund a Main Street Project. Consensus of Council was to ask the Transportation Advisory Committee to review their project priority list and select a replacement project. 1( • Water Issue: Council received a copy of Tigard Water I District Resolution No. 16-92 "...committing to work with the Cities of Tigard, King City and Durham to create an Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement to form a joint water agency." Council consensus was to focus on efforts to prepare a 190 Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement. r The public hearing scheduled for November 10, 1992, to consider withdrawal of the City from the Water District will not occur at that time because of the renewed 11190 Agreement" effort. 7.

I believe the primary deterrent to our areas growth is a complete transportation network.

Task Trorce, I am very supportive of efforts r by the city to provide additional planning for the Tigard Triangle- As I understand, the city is applying for an urban growth management grant from ' the state Department of Land and Development. I hope this grant will be awarded and will aid the city of Tigard in developing a specific area plan for the Triangle. Well-planned, well-managed development in- the 340-acre Triangle is critical to Tigard's future as a balanced residential and business community. This area can serve as not only a destinarion for commerce, but a local place of significant employ- : m, ent for Tigard and surrounding communities. By planning correctly, development f in the triangle also can serve to unprove vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic on l Ijighway 99W through Tigard. As you-may be aware, the stare Deparmmeat of Transportation, in the past,. as identified traffic problems on Highway 99W as one of its top regional concerns. ` The Triangle is well situated between three major state and federal thoroughfares, Highway 99W, Highway 217 and Interstate 5. Planning for the Triangle, aided by a state grant, can not only help Tigard's business, community and transportation fu- ture, but that of these three major: highways. Good luck with your giant application. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

The State bid through Wentworth Chevrolet includes police package Chevrolet Caprices for just over $14,000. Purchases of this type are exempt from public bidding; however, they must be approved by the Local Contract Review Board. PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES None. - Fill SCA L NOTES The purchase of four police units through the State bid will not exceed budget limits. C_ 13 .i' COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY AGENDA OF: October 13, 1992 DATE SUBMITTED: ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Parkinq PREVIOUS ACTION: restrictions on SW North Dakota St PREPARED BY: City Engineer DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY: - ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Shall parking be prohibited along SW North Dakota Street between Tiedeman and 115th? STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval of the attached ordinance. INFORMATION SUMMARY Attached is a petition requesting that parking be prohibited along SW North Dakota Street between Tiedeman and 115th. In August a letter was sent to the owners of all properties along North Dakota between Tiedeman and 115th. The letter advised property owners of the request for parking restrictions and invited property owners to comment. C Responses were received from six people. Three respondents favored the proposed restrictions, two indicated "no objection", and one recommended "leave it like it is". North Dakota Street is a minor collector street. Much of the street is narrow without shoulders. In 1989, the City constructed a shoulder along the north side from 114th to Fanno Creek to provide a refuge for pedestrians and bicycles. Portions of the street have been widened in conjunction with residential development (half-street improvements). Parking is occurring in the widened portions. Parked vehicles restrict sight distance for motorists entering North Dakota from side streets and driveways. It appears that most residents of the area either favor parking restrictions or have no objection to the proposed restrictions. Parking restrictions will enhance safety by improving sight distance and by assuring that the shoulder areas are available for pedestrian and bicycle refuge. PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES 1. Approve the attached ordinance adopting the requested restrictions. 2. Amend the ordinance. 3. Deny the request for parking restrictions. f FISCAL NOTES If the ordinance is approved, the costs for posting of "No Parking" signs will be approximately $700. i I N0 ME-NMEN" .A~~ 5 1992 of TIP~ 9qe ~ Q 139 -a 7l (a c~TM 60 ~j s 9 6 - two 60 '4k Council Agenda Item ly MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council i FROM: Patrick J.

Water Program Contribution It has been said that eventually Oregon property tax bills will pale in comparison to utility bills. Facing this crisis, the League Board established a program targeted to impacting in a positive way the multi- million dollar water policy costs that are facing Oregon's communities. This new program involves the addition of a League staff person whose activities will be restricted to representing city interests on water, wastewater and stormwater issues. Over the past several years, water issues have been growing in importance. Last year cities saw a dramatic increase in DEQ administered NPDES municipal discharge permit fees. This year we anticipate activity in the conversion of minimum streamflows to in-stream water rights as well as the possible imposition of water user fees to fund State Water Resources Department operations. At the federal level, we are facing re-authorization of the Clean Water Act and imposition of new EPA wastewater regulations. The League's Board intends that the activities of a new staff member will include technical research as well as lobbying in areas related to water, wastewater and stormwater issues. Enterprise revenues such as water and/or sewer utility funds may be used to fund this portion of the annual dues. The amount established for payment is based on a graduated scale using city population categories. Legal Advocacy Voluntary Contribution Since 1956, the League has maintained a Legal Advocacy Fund to respond to individual city requests for assistance in preserving and protecting city authority in cases before state agencies and at the appellate court level. Some of the major city issues in which the League has participated in over the past few years include: telephone franchise fees must be passed on to all users of the system and not just city residents; and determining whether staffing levels are mandatory subjects of collective bargaining. Recent requests by cities involve challenges to city ordinances on parks, drainage and transportation fees. The U3ague Board has authorized an additional thrust for the legal assistance fund which includes proactive initiation of legal proceedings. Because many issues critical to cities are decided by state agencies and the courts, your voluntary contributions to the'L.egal Advocacy Fund are essential in continuing this vital assistance to cities. The New Oregon Protect Voluntary Contribution In early 1991, the League of Oregon Cities and the Association of Oregon Counties joined to form the AOC/LOC Joint Project - a program to tell "The Local Government Story", to get the word out about what we do and how and why we do it. Most importantly, the Joint Project became the catalyst for debating the issue of state finance reform at the local level. Local elected officials are confronting tough challenges in the wake of the passage of Measure 5. During the first year of the project, city and county officials encouraged and facilitated citizen involvement in the largest public meeting process of Oregon's history -The Conversation with Oregon." Not only did we make the "grass roots" effort happen, we got our foot in the door, we sat down at the table and gave, inp+_t to the --ovei►or's tax package. Following a non-productive Special Session, the job is certainly not over. Cities need to continually make sure their local and collective needs are addressed. They need to participate in any funding proposal crafted by the Legislature. Voluntary contributions received will include funding further issues of the New Oregon newsletter, provide for research, data collection, and regional forums. Heading into the 1993 legislative session. these basic elements will enhance cities' ability to be players, not just affected bystanders. t:w+enyanice wp dNa\dae&921v 1 dr-a-r+ OTONNELL, RAMIS, CREW & CORRIGAN f ATTORNEYS AT IAW a SALLOW & WRIGHT BUILDING 1727 N.W.

Robinson, City Attorney's Office RE: Proposed Regulations Governing Theaters At your request, I have prepared a short memorandum discussing whether it is legally possible to prohibit theaters from allowing viewing of videos or movies in enclosed booths. Our office has researched regulations from other jurisdictions and we have concluded that such a content-neutral regulation would likely survive a challenge. The purpose of such a regulation would be to protect the public health, safety and welfare from negative effects of enclosed viewing booths. These include the potential for criminal activity, spread of fire,and spread of disease. A regulation affecting theaters must be content-neutral because Article I, Section 8 of the Oregon Constitution, prohibits regulation of speech based on content. Therefore, the following suggested amendments to the Tigard Community Development Code (TCDC) would apply to all theaters. r In addition, the TCDC currently allows adult uses in the Central Business District and General Commercial District. The proposed amendments'are as follows: 1. Add a new chapter 18.110 to read as follows: Chapter 18.110 Theater Regulations Sections 18.110.010 Purpose 18.110.020 Chapter Definitions 18.110.030 Regulations s a O'DONNELL, RAMIS, CREW & CORRIGAN Memo re: Proposed Regulations Governing Theaters August 19, 1992 Page 2 18.110.010 Purpose A. This section is intended to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry of Tigard through the regulation of theaters by prohibiting enclosed viewing booths in order to reduce the potential for fire, spread of disease, and criminal activities. 18.110.020 Chapter Definition A. "Viewing Booth" for the purposes of this section, a viewing booth is any booth, cubicle, room or stall that is physically separated from other areas by a door, curtain partition, drapery or other device or material and is designed, intended or used to provide for viewing of motion pictures, films or _ videotapes in private. 18.110.030 Regulations A. All theaters shall be physically arranged so that the entire portion of any and all viewing booths shall be visible from a common area of the premises. Visibility shall not be blocked or obscured by doors, curtains, partitions, drapes, or any other device or material whatsoever. B. All viewing booths shall be lighted so that the persons in them are visible from the adjacent common area, but such lighting shall not be of such intensity as to prevent the viewing of motion pictures, films, or videotapes. 2. Amend the Code to provide a general definition of theater as follows: Section 18.26.030 "Theater" "All establishments used for the presentation or viewing of motion pictures, films or videotapes of any type." - P 104 p i O'DONNELL, RAMIS, CREW b CORRIGAN • I Memo re: Proposed Regulations Governing Theaters August 19, 1992 Page 3 f 3. Amend Section 18.66.060 (A)(2) "Additional Requirements" Central Business District as follows: "Supplemental provisions, Chapters... 18.108 access, egress, and circulation, 18.110 theater regulations, and 18.114 signs." 4. The same amendments as shown for 18.66.060 (A) (2) should be made in Section 18.62.060 (A) (2) "Additional Requirements" for the General Commercial District. The suggested amendments in this memorandum are a starting point for discussion. Should the City wish to proceed with these amendments, we would like to meet with the Planning staff first and refine the particular amendments. Please let me know if you would like us to proceed further with this. Original Memorandum to: Patrick J.

Chair of the B ATTEST: AdhAnistrative Director _ Date MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON TO: Pat Reilly, City Administrator FROM: Ed Murphy, Director of Community Development DATE: October 13, 1992 SUBJECT: LUTRAQ Alternative You had asked me to review the LUTRAQ Alternative and provide some comments to you and the City Council. Based just on a cursory review, following are my comments WHAT IS THE ISSUE? The issue is whether or not the LUTRAQ Alternative should be carried forward as one of five alternatives to be analyzed in the DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Study). The LUTRAQ Alternative has already been evaluated in the "alternatives stage" of the Western Bypass Study, and has been found to perform reasonably well compared to the other alternatives. WHY IS THAT AN ISSUE? Although the Council will be asked to take formal action at a later date on the proposal to include LUTRAQ in the DEIS, the Metro council will take action sooner. ODOT has already recommended that the LUTRAQ alternative be carried forward into the DEIS. The Council may wish to let the Metro councilors know of any comments and concerns prior to them taking action. WHAT IS THE LUTlRAQ ALTERNATIVE? "LUTRAQ" stands for "Land Use, Transportation, Air Quality". It is a national demonstration project to develop methodologies for creating alternative suburban land use patterns and design standards and evaluating their impacts on . automobile dependency . mobility . air quality . energy consumption and . sense of community 1 f The alternative itself has a land use component as well as a transportation component. The land use component suggests placing the majority of new housing units and future jobs within walking distances of light rail and fixed route bus lines; creating "mixed use centers" that reduce the travel distance for many local trips and increase the viability of walking or bicycling; and creating a street system that allows direct connections to local destinations without using the arterial or highway system. The transportation component includes a major emphasis on light rail and express service, as well as local feeder busses; demand responsive bus service; bicycle and pedestrian improvements; and selected roadway improvements. The roadway improvements included the projects listed on the "No Build" option, plus others which were selected from the "planned projects/TSM°' alternative of the ByPass study, and include (in this area) Widening 99W to six lanes between Pfaffle and Commercial . Widening 217 to six lanes . Widening Durham to three lanes . Widening McDonald to three lanes (99W to 97th) law Widening Gaarde to three lanes (99W to 121st) In addition, the LUTRAQ alternative includes the TDM ! (Transportation Demand Management) package developed in the ByPass Study. HOW DID IT PERFORM? 1 According to ODOT's evaluation summary, the LUTRAQ alternative performs especially well at reducing peak hour vehicle miles traveled, and at reducing reliance on the single occupancy vehicle. It does not perform as well on accessibility or congestion reduction as other alternatives. IS THE LUTRAQ ALTERNATIVE A REALISTIC OPTION? The concept`i.s one worthy of further exploration. However, some of the sites that LUTRAQ is depending on have practical difficulties associated with them... sometimes they are already built upon, sometimes they are in wetlands, sometimes they are already committed to other uses. Implementing LUTRAQ would be difficult over the next twenty years. WHAT DOES LUTRAQ MEAN FOR TIGARD? It is supportive of increased densities and land use intensity in the Triangle, Washington Square area, and downtown. It supports increased densities along Scholls Ferry. It would suggest light rail serving Tigard, and expanded bus service. It would build up the densities along Tualatin-Sherwood Road. It would take land out 2 of production for industrial uses in Washington county and convert ' it to residential and commercial uses. It includes many of the arterial expansion options, i.e.. widening local arterials. WHAT ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS COULD THE COUNCIL TAKE RIGHT NOW? 1. No position. Wait and see what happens at the Metro council level. Plan to make formal comments later along with the other Bypass alternatives being studied. 2. Encourage LUTRAQ to be included. Why? It may include some good suggestions that will be acceptable to the City Council ultimately. It would be a fair way to evaluate all of the options- It may reduce the potential of a successful lawsuit against the DEIS process. If it is not a good alternative, it will show up in the DEIS. - 3. Discourage LUTRAQ from being included. Why? It does not appear practical to evaluate a land use alternative alongside transportation-related alternatives in a DEIS, especially when the implementation structures are not apparent. The alternative appears to be beyond a 20 year time horizon; the alternative could be better reviewed as part of the Metro 2040 process. RECOMMENDATION. Give moral support to the LUTRAQ study, and encourage Metro to formally make it a part of the 2040 Study, but not a part of the DEIS. em/Lutrag1.Nw 3
