STUDY MEETING
Council Discussion - Proposed Letter to Tualatin Valley Fire &
Rescue Concerning Conversion of Fire Station on Commercial Street
into a Community Center
council discussed letter and viewpoints for and against sending out
the proposed letter. (See Council meeting material for a copy of
the letter.) Highlights of the discussion included the following:
• ...the City should send the letter to attempt to protect
1 the interests of the citizens of Tigard who already
invested their time and money into this building.
• ...the voters said "no."
• ...there should be some compensation to the Tigard
community; this was a significant contribution to TVF&R.
• ...TVF&R was counting on the sale of this building to
help finance the new station. If the community center is
given to the City, then the taxpayers for district will
have to replace those dollars in some way. The Tigard
taxpayers have said "no" to dollars for a community
center.
• ...research indicates that TVF&R could turn the fire
station over to the City at nominal cost. Remodelling
costs would have to comply with labor laws; that is, it
is questionable if labor could be volunteered to remodel
the building.
There was lengthy discussion over the interpretation of the results
of the March election. At that time, the voters turned down the
request to fund the purchase and renovation of the building for a
community center.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JULY 20, 1993 - PAGE 1
After discussion, it was moved by Councilor Hawley, seconded by
Councilor Schwartz, to approve the letter to be signed by the Mayor
as presented.
The motion passed by a majority (3-2) vote. (Mayor Edwards and
Councilors Hawley and Schwartz voted "yes"; Councilors Fessler and
Hunt voted "no.") `

Site Nominations - Reaional Desicun images
Councilor Fessler distributed information concerning Metro°s effort
to solicit nominations for sites that could be used to illustrate
how the regional growth concepts might actually look and work if
implemented. After discussion, Council consensus was to support
efforts to nominate the Tigard Triangle/Diamond/Downtown area as a ?t
regional site which appears to meet criteria for site nomination in
a substantial fashion.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
The Tigard City Council went into Executive Session at 7:40 p.m.
under the provisions of ORS 192.660 (1) (d), (e), (h) & (i) to
discuss labor relations, real property transactions, current and

Dear Chief Nees:
Many Tigard residents are interested in pursuing the conversion of
the Fire Station on Commercial Street into a community center.
Although the bond issue proposal to acquire and renovate was
defeated, there is still considerable interest in restoring the
structure to its original use, that being a community center.
The Tigard City Council has reviewed the State statutes governing
the disposition of property. It is clear that statutes enable the
District to transfer this property to the City of Tigard. The City
of Tigard hereby requests the District board consider transferring
ownership of the Fire Station property on Commercial Street to the
City of Tigard.
Given the history of the structure, we believe that there are
extenuating circumstances which legitimize such a transfer,
precluding it from being a precedent-setting practice.
Doubtless, there is a financial loss to the District if such a
transfer is made, but the community sustains such a loss as well,
if the structure, built with local funds, is lost to the community.
Your consideration of this proposal is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jerry Edwards
Mayor

Regarding: She (Nominations Regional Design images
Metro is soliciting nominations for sites that could be used to illustrate how the regional growth
concepts might actually look and work if implemented.
The basic task of the Regional Design images will be to provide graphic images that clearly
illustrate significant aspects of public spaces and private developments that are likely to occur
with each regional growth alternative.
Attached is a copy of the proposed scope of work. Consultant proposals are due next week and
selection by the and of the month.
Also attached Is a site nomination form. 81iould your community be interested in participating,
we would like to hear from you by July 30, 1993.

REGiOR3A1. DESIGN IMAGES
SITE NOMINATION INFORMATION
For Communities to Nominate`Sit~s that Should be
included as Locations for
Regional Design Image Projects.
Purpa"
The Regional Design Image is a Metro project intended to communicate and provide a better
undenlanedin„ of the local significance of altemative regional growth concepts- This will be
acoampLisbed by completing drawings which depict specific loraiions in the region as they
might change over the next 50 years under differing growth concepts. j
Local jurisdictions will participate in working with a design team to consider how their
community might develop in the future if the regional growth concepts were applied.
Criter[a
Site requirements are: 1) site is 400 - 700 acres in size; 2) site is presently served by transit
(bus or light rail); 3) site has a substantial amount of vacant or redevelopable land; d) site
bas existing residential densities in some portion of the area that are transit supportive
densities (a substantial area of the site has a pattern of I house per 6,000 square foot lot or
greater density), S) concurrence of local jurisdiction, 6) within the Metro boundary.
IMe Regional Growth Concepts
Concept A. which accommodates a substantial portion of expected growth by
expanding the urban growth boundary and is relatively auto-dcpendeat;
Concept 13, which does not trove the existing urban growth boundary and
accommodates growth through more: compact development and relies heavily oc
transit and other non-single occupant vehicle modes for transportation; and
Concept C, which uses satellite centers to accommodate a substantial portion of
growth.

111. BACKGROUND/HISTORY OF THE PROJECT
The intent of Phase II of the Region 2040 project is to answer questions about how to manage
expected future growth. If the region is to "grow out". what would it be like? Alternatively, if the
region is to "grow up", how could it be described? This project asserts that one of the most
effective means of describing possible alternatives to the public and policy makers is to pr vi&-
images of possible futures.
There is an extensive body of work illustrating possible future development images that have been
completed by many agencies and organisations in the region . A partial list includes the Sunrise
Corridor neot5raditional new town, the LU RAQ project, the City Club's tmnsit/compact urban form
study of a site in Gresham, the Tot Fssentials of a Qualiry Regional Landscape, materials from the
City of Portland's livable City project and the Regional Rail Summit, the recently completed Visual
Prefereace Survey"', Tri-Met's transit-oriented development handbook, as well as smaller site
development plans done for individual properties for development interests.
An- important aspect of public concern is the resulting quality of life after development. How open
spaces will be included and integrated into development patterns and transportation systems will be
important to illustrate. Some work on a regional scale has already been completed, including the
Greenspaces Master Plan. Other local jurisdictions have completed or are woridng on effort's to
meet Goal 5 requirements. Regardless. this aspect of the project will be successful to the extent that
the open space portion of the images convey how the day-to-day routine of individuals may be
t" touched by many different types of open spaces - active (parks, etc.) or passive (natural arms) (see
list in appendix). In addition, the role that open spars could play in defining the urban form should
be recognized in those locations where there is a transition from urban to rural uses.
As part of a separate Metro project, work will be done to show how the region looked 50 years ago.
To the extent that the historical images can be integrated into the work depicting possible futures 50
years ahead. a more interesting and thought-provoldng picture of change can be made available to
the public and policy makers.
Several different types of images may be effective. Ground level photographs of existing, local
development can be used to depict existing patterns or suggest new patterns in undeveloped arras.
The advantages of using photos of existing local development are numerous. First, it increases the
possibility that the particular use illustrated could zctually be replicated. Second, it provides an
opportunity for skeptics to visit a site and gain a more detailed impression of the development type-
Photographs of existing developments outside the region may be useful because they can show
development types not locally available, but they do not have the advantages of photos of local
developments.
Alternatively, sketches or drawings of possible development patterns can depict land use or
transportation features or designs that may not exist locally or nationally. Renderings also may be
eructed to provide views or perspectives that may be difficult to capture with a photngraph.

Whatever the media used, the purpose of this project work is to find effective ways to communicate
information about different alternatives for future development of the region. Although all -
alternatives will speculate on the nature of the region and its development, this project will aspire to
depict fairly each alternative. 'Mis well allow the public the opportunity to voice its concerns and
hopes about acts of each regional growth alternative aM for policy makers to conclude which
altenutive, or oombination of features from several alternatives, best mewls the re n's r=&.

Purpose: To devise planning snaps that shuw the land development pattern and transportation
system to be studied for each site.
Tasks; This wort element will be completed by Metro Council and its advisory committees,
with the assistance of Marv staff, patticularly the DRCfRLIS staff. The work element
will use specific sites where local jurisdictions, otherwise, general izod locations will be
used. Sites will need to be 400 - 700 acres in size. the same 3 sites will be used for
cacti regional growth concept. Suggested site characteristics should include: a) a site
which has large amounts of vacant bondable land and is or will be served by a freeway
