DOC COUNCIL AGENDA - MARCH 14, 2000 - PAGE 4 LM Agenda Item No. Meeting of l TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - MARCH 14, 2000 • STUDY SESSION > McCouncil President Brian Moore called meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. > Council Present: Council President Brian Moore, Councilors Paul Hunt, Joyce Patton, and Ken Scheckla. > Staff Present: City Manager Bill Monahan; Finance Director Craig Prosser; Human Resources Director Sandy Zodrow; Public Works Director Ed Wegner; Police Chief Ron Goodpaster; Long Range Planning Manager Nadine Smith; Community Development Director Jim Hendryx; City Attorney Tim Ramis; City Engineer Gus Duenas; Associate Planner Laurie Nicholson The Council discussed the meals provided for Council and staff prior to the meetings. After discussion, it was determined that food would be provided for Councilor Patton to accommodate her schedule, since she comes to the Council meetings directly from work. 9 Councilor Hunt asked Council President Moore for clarification on his comments in the March 2, 2000, Tigard Times article on the Atfalati issue. Council President Moore clarified that he meant to convey that the Council made a recommendation to the County. the County would decide whether to refer the matter to the voters to make the final decision. i Councilor Scheckla asked staff to verify that the individual soliciting donations for the United Gospel Missions had the fundraising permit he claimed to have. Bill Monahan, City Manager, indicated that that organization has had fundraising permits in the past. He confirmed that people soliciting funds door-to-door should have a permit on their person. Y Cathy Wheatley, City Recorder, reported that the Mayor's business office advised that his health status is improving. Council President Moore mentioned his conversation with the Mayor's brother indicating that Mayor was doing better. > Update: Professional Services - Portland Water Contract Negotiations Ed Wegner, Public Works Director, reviewed the provisions of the proposed contract to hire a consultant to negotiate with Portland on behalf of Tualatin Valley Water District, Gresham, Tigard, Tualatin, Rockwood Utility District and West Slope. He explained that no matter what decision Tigard made with respect to its water supply, it needed to continue negotiations with Portland. Mr. Wegner said that this contract with Integrated Utilities Group paid $150,000 for six tasks over the course of 18 months to two years. He mentioned the background of the consulting firm. He indicated that Tigard's share came to $23,100. He said that City elected officials would attend the Westside meetings when the consultant made sufficient progress to present a report. He noted that the IWB supported the contract. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -MARCH 14, 2000 - PAGE 1 Mr. Wegner confirmed to Councilor Scheckla that either he or Mike Miller would attend the monthly meetings as representatives of the IWB jurisdictions. At Councilor Patton's request, Mr. Wegner reviewed the six tasks included in the contract. Mr. Wegner explained to Councilor Scheckla that Tigard needed to continue negotiations with Portland as a potential secondary source. He said that they wanted to achieve a contract that was fair and equitable to the City. He pointed out that the City now had three water options to look at: Portland, South Fork and the Joint Water Commission. The Council agreed by consensus to direct staff to proceed with the contract. > Cook Park John Roy, Property Manager, reviewed the components he added to the scope of work in the contract with Consulting Engineering Services for the wetland mitigation design for the Cook Park expansion. He explained that, given the impacts that the new Title 3 requirements would have on their expansion plans, they needed to submit an application for a land use approval permit for the project before February 4; the consultant submitted the application on behalf of the City on February 3. Mr. Roy indicated that he included the irrigation design and inspection services components because the work would not be done in-house as originally anticipated. He asked Council to approve a new contract with Consulting Engineering Services for $44,243 (the original contract was $10,472). Mr. Monahan asked to add this item to tonight's agenda if the Council thought that staff provided sufficient information for it to take action tonight. Mr. Ramis commented that he did not see the City experiencing much risk on this item. Councilor Scheckla asked if they could use the money slated for mobile restrooms for the contract. Mr. Wegner reviewed the need for the mobile restrooms as part of the Phase 1 improvements. He noted that the budget already included the restrooms. The Council agreed to place this item on the agenda immediately following the consent agenda. Mr. Roy indicated to Councilor Scheckla that the wetlands project would start Julyl and finish in mid-October. He commented that without the land use approval pennit, they would not have been able to install restrooms, pathways, or parking lots in the park. Mr. Wegner stated that the project would not disrupt use of the park during the summer, as the mitigation was on the far eastern side of the park. > Update: Washington Square Regional Center Plan Implementation Jim Hendryx, Community Development Director, informed the Council that staff was ready to develop an RFP in accordance with the memo he sent to Council laying out the 12-month strategy staff would follow in developing the implementation strategy. Councilor Patton indicated that she had questions with respect to the ordinance that she would raise under the agenda item. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -MARCH 14, 2000 - PAGE 2 Councilor Scheckla asked for clarification on the grant. Nadine Smith, Long Range Planning Manager, explained that staff had $80,000 from the TGM grant and needed another $90,000 for the total cost of $150,000 to develop the implementation strategy. She mentioned looking at parks SDCs, storm water SDCs, and the County as potential additional sources of funding. > Update: Taxpayer Protection Initiative #47 Craig Prosser, Finance Director, reviewed the potential impacts of Initiative #47 on the City's fees and charges, including building fees, water rates, Atfalati recreation district, and the Transportation Bond. He explained that the initiative required a vote by the people on all taxes and fee increases, allowed votes only in November of even-numbered years, and required an approval percentage equivalent to the approval percentage of Initiative 47. He said that every ballot title for a tax or fee increase must include the words "A yes vote on this measure is a vote to increase taxes," even for fees such as library fines that would not affect taxes. Mr. Prosser discussed the provision making the requirements retroactive to December 6, 1998. He explained that the City would have to hold elections on all fee increases since that date, and refund any fees with interest to individuals that did not meet all the election requirements. He indicated that the City Attorney would look at a possible exemption for incurred charges. Mr. Prosser confirmed to Councilor Hunt that this did affect Atfalati, allowing possible creation of the district with no funding to implement it. Mr. Prosser discussed the impacts on the City's building fund, noting that they needed to shore up the condition of the fund. He mentioned a concern with respect to how long they could wait to raise building fees. He indicated that the City has not increased its water rates since 1993 but it needed to do so soon in order to offset increased operating costs and to build a reserve for an alternate source of water. He said that staff needed to research the question of what happened if one jurisdiction in the water district did not pass a water rate increase but the other three did. He mentioned another question of whether the voters could pass multi-year rate increases. Mr. Prosser discussed the impacts on the transportation bond. He pointed out that they could not identify the total cost of the bond (principal plus interest) as required by Initiative 47 because they did not know what the future interest rate would be. He commented that Initiative 47 affected the potential library financing through the Oregon Economic Development Department by requiring any bond measure, including revenue bonds, to qualify with the requirements of a GO bond. Mr. Monahan indicated that staff would keep the Council updated with information as it came out from various groups. Mr. Prosser confirmed to Councilor Patton that Mr. Sizemore turned o in more than enough signatures to place the initiative on the ballot. > Review: Request for Waiver of Potential Conflict of Interest Form Mr. Monahan requested the Council to waive a potential conflict of interest for Preston Gates and Ellis, the law firm with attorneys representing the City on water issues, land use issues and as bond counsel. Mr. Prosser explained that one of the firm's attorneys was working for RCN, a telecommunications company with potential franchise issues with the City. The Council agreed to allow the waiver. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -MARCH 14, 2000 - PAGE 3 > Review: Updated City wide Personnel Policies Sandy Zodrow, Human Resources Director reviewed the staff process used to update the 1987 personnel rules to reflect current policies, practices and philosophies. She said that the Union reviewed the proposed update and expressed concerns, primarily with respect to the smokeless tobacco prohibition. Mr. Monahan commented that their intent was to apply the policies uniformly throughout the organization and to incorporate new policies, such as the Internet policy. Councilor Scheckla asked if other cities had a smokeless tobacco prohibition. He said that he was willing to leave it out. Ms. Zodrow indicated that some cities did and some did not but the trend was moving towards prohibition of smokeless tobacco. She commented that the Police Department prohibited smokeless tobacco in its vehicles and facilities while the Public Works Department had a practice of discouraging its use in city vehicles. Councilor Hunt asked what the reason was behind the prohibition against smokeless tobacco. Ms. Zodrow mentioned trying to make their policies consistent citywide and health concerns. Mr. Wegner recalled how Public Works came to discourage its use. He indicated that they had aesthetic and sanitary reasons because they changed vehicles between people. Police Chief Ron Goodpaster reported that his department eliminated its use a couple of years ago due to officer complaints, health concerns, and a variety of other problems. He discussed the advantages of consolidated City personnel policies when administering rules and regulations. Councilor Scheckla stated that he would pull this item from the consent agenda. Councilor Patton pointed out that the policy cited the health hazards of smoking and then discussed smokeless tobacco. She suggested rewriting the policy to reflect the rationale behind a prohibition of smokeless tobacco. Mike Mills, OPEU President, said that he would provide his comments to the Council in writing. He indicated a rebuttal argument that anything spit out of the mouth was objectionable, not just smokeless tobacco. Ms. Zodrow suggested adopting the rules with the exception of Articles 57 and 58. The Council agreed with that suggestion. > Discuss: Applications for First Citizen Mr. Monahan indicated that the Council as a whole did not want to nominate any one but individual Councilors could do so. > Agenda Review Mr. Monahan indicated that staff met with the Pacific'Crest residents. He asked the Council to refer to staff if anyone addressed the matter under Visitors Agenda. He asked Council to refer to staff if anyone spoke on temporary sign. enforcement also. > Council President Moore adjourned the study session at 7:40 p.m. 1.

VISITOR'S AGENDA: None 3. CONSENT AGENDA Council President Moore noted that the Council would consider Item 3.4 with the exception of Articles 57 and 58. Mr. Monahan said staff would bring those articles for discussion next week. Councilor Hunt objected to the language in the Tentative Agenda (3.2b) speaking of a resolution of support for Atfalati. He commented that not all the Council supported Atfalati. After brief discussion, Mr. Monahan suggested rewording the item as a discussion of whether the Council should pass a resolution of support for the Atfalati Recreation District. The Council agreed to the rewording. Motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Patton, to approve the Consent Agenda, with the changes as noted. Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Council President Moore, Councilors Hunt, Patton and Scheckla voted "yes.") [4-0] 3.1 Approve Council Minutes of.

PRESENTATION AND INFORMATION ON OREGON DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (ODOT) OPEN HOUSE Kathy Conrad, ODOT, noted that Mike Struebach, Assistant Project Manager, was here to answer questions. She presented information on the $2.2 million ODOT bridge joint and rail repair project along five miles of Highway 99, scheduled for mid-April to August 31. She reviewed the extensive public notification process used by ODOT to inform residents and businesses of the project. Mr. Struebach mentioned the open house tomorrow night with drawings and details of the construction available for public comments and questions. Councilor Hunt asked if they paved the portion they ground out that same night. Mr. Struebach indicated that generally, they did do so but in this case, they intended to start the grinding process one night ahead of time. He explained that the grinding did not remove all of the paving. Mr. Struebach indicated to Councilor Scheckla that the contractor was considering starting at the Tualatin River but his final schedule was not due until the end of the week. Councilor Scheckla suggested providing ear plugs to the residents in the apartments and homes down by the Tualatin. Ms. Conrad said that they discussed doing so but feared that the public would interpret it as a flippant offer. She said that she would take the Councilor's recommendation back to ODOT. i Ms. Conrad invited the City to link its website to ODOT's to provide the latest information. { Mr. Roy corrected his answer to Councilor Scheckla's question about the money budgeted each year for the wetlands mitigation project in Cook Park. He said that $30,437 for the first two { phases would come out of this fiscal year's budget and the remaining $14,000 out of the next fiscal year budget. 5.

He mentioned the other recommended purchases listed in the staff report. Chief Goodpaster indicated that the additional $1,100 grant they received from the Department of Public Safety allowed them to send a second detective to homicide school. He mentioned that the Tigard Youth Association (the non-profit associated with the police department) agreed to donate $1,000 to the summer camp program.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -MARCH 14, 2000 - PAGE 7 Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Council President Moore, Councilors Hunt, Patton and Scheckla voted "yes.") [4-0] Councilor Hunt asked if staff would put Tigard's activities with photo radar on hold until the courts resolved the recently filed lawsuit on photo radar. Chief Goodpaster indicated that they would continue to work behind the scenes in preparing for the implementation of photo radar but they would wait on implementation until they knew what the court decision was. Councilor Scheckla asked if the discontinuation of the photo radar program by Vancouver, Washington, because it was not cost-effective made a difference. Chief Goodpaster explained that the program was not cost-effective in Vancouver because Washington State had different laws that required more personnel time and money to process photo radar. He said that what affected Washington State did not affect Oregon State. He concurred with Councilor Hunt that public safety was the major reason for their interest in photo radar. 7. TRANSPORTATION BOND UPDATE Gus Duenas, City Engineer, reviewed the public input process used by the Transportation Bond Task Force in working towards a recommendation for bond projects. He discussed the issues under discussion by the Task Force, including project selection, the size of the bond, and the term of the bond. He noted the final meeting of the Task Force scheduled for March 15, at which they hoped to develop a list of projects for presentation to the Planning Commission on April 17 and recommendation to the Council on May 9. He indicated that the Task Force members intended to promote the bond issue through the November election. Mr. Duenas commented that he has not yet been able to find out from the County what other money measures would be on the ballot in November but he would keep trying. Councilor Patton indicated that the Task Force at its last meeting had a good discussion of how to proceed. She said that she was hopeful that they could develop recommendations for a list of projects, the size of the bond and the term of the bond. Mr. Duenas clarified for Councilor Scheckla that the Task Force would probably eliminate many of the projects on the list right now, as the bottom line was the size of the bond issue. Council President Moore mentioned the importance of developing a package that they could sell to the community. Mr. Duenas indicated to Councilor Hunt that staff would get the recommended list of projects to Council as soon as possible, including any modifications made by the Planning Commission. 8. REPORT ON SUMMER CREEK WETLANDS ENHANCEMENT PROJECT a Mr. Duenas reported that they had a good brainstorming meeting with the different regulatory agencies on February 28 to discuss what was likely to be approved for this project. He said that the consultant was working on creating a concept plan that incorporated the points of general agreement. He indicated that staff scheduled an in-depth discussion for the Council April 18 workshop, following a review of the concept plan by the regulatory agencies and the neighborhood. He mentioned their intent to construct the project this summer. a Councilor Hunt asked about acceptance of the plan by the neighborhood. Mr. Duenas said that the neighborhood has followed the process closely. He clarified that this Task Force was for the Merestone Pond area, which was different from the Summerlake Task Force that dealt with the lake itself. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -MARCH 14, 2000 - PAGE 8 Councilor Scheckla asked Mr. Hendryx for an update on the ESA meeting he attended in Portland. Mr. Hendryx explained that the meeting involved Oregon and Washington representatives discussing how to address the listing of salmon and steelhead in the lower Columbia River as endangered. 9. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER PLAN WITH DELAYED IMPLEMENTATION AND ADOPTNG FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Mr. Hendryx explained that this was the ordinance adopting the Council's decision in February to approve the Washington Square Regional Center Plan with its Comprehensive Plan and Development Code amendments while delaying its implementation until staff could identify specific milestones. He said that staff anticipated returning to Council next month with more details and a work program on how to implement the different components. Councilor Patton pointed out that the Planning Commission did not recommend approval (Item 2), it recommended endorsement. Mr. Ramis said that they would change the wording. Councilor Patton asked to make Item 4b more inclusive by specifically stating the environmental and natural resource considerations. Mr. Ramis suggested adding the language "environmental and natural resource issues" to the end of the phrase. Councilor Patton indicated that the language in Item 6 was not clear enough. She suggested referencing Item 4 in the sentence. Mr. Hendryx read the amended sentence as "The Council met on February 8, 2000, and voted to adopt the plan with implementation of the plan to take place when specific implementation measures noted above (4) are met." Councilor Scheckla mentioned his concern that upzoning in the Ash Creek area contradicted the Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan adopted in June 1997. Council President Moore suggested that staff review the issue in light of Title 3 and return with more information. Mr. Hendryx indicated that staff could do so. He pointed out that the City had to meet all federal and state standards in effect at the time of the plan's adoption plus any subsequent regulations. Motion by Councilor Patton, seconded by Councilor Hunt to adopt Ordinance 00-18 with the revisions as discussed. The City Recorder read the number and title of the ordinance. ORDINANCE NO. 00-18, AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL PLAN, DELAYED IMPLEMENTATION AND ADOPTING FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS.

CONSIDER AMENDMENT'S TO LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE 15 WALNUT ISLAND ANNEXATIONS, ORDINANCE NOS. 00-03 - 00-17 (THE WALNUT ISLAND ANNEXATION HEARINGS WERE HELD ON 2/8/00) Mr. Hendryx said that staff sent draft ordinances to the Revenue Department for review and prepared revised ordinances per their recommendations. He explained that when staff prepared the ordinances for Council adoption, they accidentally used the original ordinances, not the final revised ordinances. He indicated that the differences were clerical in nature, nothing substantive. He said that the Council had the final corrected version in their packets tonight. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -MARCH 14, 2000 - PAGE 9 Mr. Hendryx confirmed to Councilor Hunt that the effective date of the annexations remained May 17. Mr. Ramis confirmed that the remainder of the annexation process was administrative. Mr. Monahan mentioned staff's intention to hold an open house on May 17 t provide updated information to the residents on what services the City would provide from that point forward. Motion by Councilor Scheckla, seconded by Councilor Hunt, to adopt Ordinance No. 00- 19. The City Recorder read the number and title of the ordinance. ORDINANCE NO. 00-19, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCES 2003-2017 TO CORRECT CLERICAL ERRORS IN THE LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS ATTACHED AS EXHIBITS TO THE ORDINANCES AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Regulations should require retail space to be built into the first floor of any new parking structure. Originally, planners intended the Park & Ride lot to be at its present location only temporarily. If a new lot is sited within the regional center, planners should consider the following: opportunities to serve local demand during evenings and weekends for such land uses as movie theaters and churches; the destinations of primary users (are they coming into the district or leaving their cars to catch transit out of the district). Transportation improvements should focus on reduc- ing barriers to pedestrian access (lack of safe crossing areas at streets and railroad tracks, lack of sidewalks, no direct route, etc.) to encourage walking between different business and, ultimately to and from shared parking.

The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and the Official Zoning District map will reflect the plan policies and apply land use categories in the following manner: n. Mixed Use Commercial District - Principle development in these areas will be high density office buildings, retail and service uses. A zoning designation of MUC will also allow mixed-use development and housing at densities of 50 units an acre. MUC districts will encourage larger buildings with parking under, behind or alongside the structures. The Regional Center Plan recommends that land around the Washington Square Mall and land immediately west of Highway 217 be designated a mixed-use commercial district. o. Mixed Use Residential District - The MUR designation is appropriate for predominantly residential areas where mixed uses are permitted when compatible with the residential use. Areas will be designated high density (MUR-1) or moderate density (MUR-2). Locations within the Washington Square Regional Center are appropriate for this mixed-use designation. Add a new section 11.8 with the following: 11.8 WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER In 1995, Metro Council adopted a visionary plan for regional development. The 2040 Growth Concept described strategies to make the most efficient use of urban land in the face of dramatic population growth, to create and preserve livable neighborhoods, and to promote a useful, accessible transportation system. One of the key elements of the 2040 Growth Concept, was the designation of regional centers. These are areas of concentrated commerce, local government services and housing served by high-quality transit. Washington Square is one of three regional centers in Washington. County and one of nine in the region. The 2040 Growth Concept resulted from extensive regional discussion about the future of the 1 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 8/: Portland metropolitan area. Metro, working with local jurisdictions, then developed the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan in 1996 to implement the Growth Concept. Local citizens and governments were then to determine the best way to create regional centers given the values, interests and needs of residents and businesses of that community. The following findings and policies summarize the results of a thorough public discussion about the future of the Washington Square Regional Center area. It demonstrates the way the people of Tigard and Washington County incorporated their expectations for the future into the Regional Center Plan. Findings 0 With the adoption of the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan, local governments, businesses, residents and property owners in Washington County began a study of land use, transportation and other functions around Washington Square. O In 1998, the Tigard City Council appointed 23 people to serve on the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force. Task Force members represent neighborhoods, schools, business and property owners, state and local governments and public interest groups. The task force=s charge was to identify issues and set general policy for recommendations about land use, transportation, open space, aesthetics and other issues relevant to development around Washington Square. The Task Force also oversaw a public involvement process. C The Task Force agreed on a study area that includes 1250 acres, with Washington Square Mall approximately in the center. The area is bounded by Fanno Creek on the west, SW Greenburg Road and Hall Blvd. on the east, Progress Downs Golf Course to the north, and Highway 217 and Ash Creek on the south. 0 The Task Force members agreed on a set of principles that would guide development of all recommendations. These principles are as follows: CreationlPreservation of Area Identity 0 Reinforce a distinctive Regional Center while recognizing and respecting the character of the nearby residential community. • Retain and develop quality housing, including affordable housing, for all income levels. o Facilitate transitions from one use to another; for example, single to multifamily residential uses. • Preserve and enhance Metzger Park and consider additional parks. • Encourage environmentally friendly development. • Try to keep historic trees. 0 Build for our children: 1-lave a sense of stewardship. • Think creatively and be innovative in improving/maintaining quality of life. e Consider market forces and development patterns. 2 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 8/: J • Maintain and preserve floodplains and wetlands. Government/Institutional Issues • Consider all political boundaries and facilitate cooperation among jurisdictions. • Maintain neighborhood schools. a Identify and reinforce what makes the learning (educational) environment viable. Transportation i Strive for a self-sufficient, connected transportation system. • Consider transportation needs for the whole study area. • Plan for a multi-modal transportation system that accommodates increased auto and non- auto travel needs. • Respect and enhance local street networks and neighborhood livability. • Maintain an acceptable level of service and safety on regional roads, minimizing the effect on regional roads outside the study area. • Provide good transportation access to the rest of the region. • Make the community accessible for all people and modes with connections for cars, bikes, pedestrians and transit. • Maintain a high level of accessibility within and to the regional center. • Use appropriate street and streetscape design. • Encourage attractive, high quality development. • Promote long-term viability for the area. Assure infrastructure is available prior to or with development. The Regional Center Plan Should • Be understandable to lay people • Be implementable within a reasonable, staged period of time • Help develop a sense of community with a common vision, hope and optimism • Be based on statistics and facts for population, employment and other factors • Use existing resources as much as possible • Encourage compatible and complementary uses • Contain solutions to common problems • Avoid conflict with other regional centers. • The Washington Square Regional Center study area includes land within the City of Tigard, the City of Beaverton and in unincorporated Washington County. The study covers approximately 1,074 acres exclusive of public rights-of-way and 1,250 total acres. About 4.2 percent of the net land area within the study area is vacant. • The Task Force evaluated all lands within the study area for future development or redevelopment capacity through 2020. Land identified as having development or redevelopment potential if it is currently vacant, has infill capacity, holds an opportunity for redevelopment or currently is used as a large (greater than one acre) surface parking 3 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments B/~ lot. The vast majority of growth potential will come from redevelopment of existing structures and infill on sites currently used for surface parking. Over the next 20 years, approximately 192 acres of land will become available to accommodate employment and residential growth within the study area. • MetroI s Regional Urban Growth Management Functional Plan established "target growth capacity- for each jurisdiction in the region. The goal of setting these target numbers is for each part of the region to be prepared to accommodate housing and job growth. The target growth capacity for the Washington Square Regional Center is based on accommodating the following new jobs and housing units between 1998 and 2020: Employment: 9,804 jobs Retail: 1,188 jobs Office: 8,436 jobs Lodging: 180 jobs Housing: 1,500 units Residents: 2530 people • A development program for the Washington Square Regional Center provides for the target employment and housing growth capacity. Areas including the districts around the Washington Square Mall, the Lincoln Center office complex, and an emerging mixed- use district south of Locust will develop at relatively high densities. Areas north of Locust and west of Highway 217 will develop at more moderate intensities, but generally greater than existing intensity in these areas. Density assumptions are summarized below: Land Use: High Density: Moderate Density: Office @ FAR 1.25 @ FAR 0.6 Retail @ FAR 0.6 @ FAR 0.3 Lodging @ FAR 1.0 @ FAR 1.0 Housing @ 50 DU/Acre @ 25 DU/Acre • This development program will require approximately 170-200 acres over the next 20 years. Adequate development and redevelopment capacity exists within the study area as a whole to accommodate development as long as densities assumed above are achieved. • The Regional Center Task Force reached agreements on basic elements of urban development, environmental protection, and transportation facilities. The Washington Square Regional Center Plan describes the vision for the regional center. • The Task Force demonstrated an impressive amount of interest in mixed-use neighborhoods and developments. Increasing land value and transportation costs will 4 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 8/; contribute to the desirg of workers and employers for proximity of housing and work sites. The regional center, s urban design concept incorporates the need for improved transportation links, higher density, variety of land uses and services and a quality of environment necessary to create a desirable, livable community in the face of dramatic population growth. • Major roadways in the study area experience significant traffic congestion during weekday peak periods. Highway 217, Greenburg Road, Hall Boulevard and Scholls Ferry Road are subject to traffic delays. The major capacity constraints occur at the Hall Boulevard/Scholls Ferry Road intersection, the Scholls Ferry Road/Nimbus Avenue intersection, and the Greenburg Road/Highway 217 ramp intersections. In addition, Highway 217 itself is highly congested. • The majority of the arterial and collector streets in the study area have sidewalks. Scholls Ferry Road and Hall Boulevard have bike lanes within the study area. Highway 217 presents a major barrier for pedestrians and bicyclists. The only connections between the east and west sides of the highway in the study area are overcrossings on Hall Boulevard, Scholls Ferry Road and Greenburg Road. Of these three crossings, sidewalks are found only on Hall Boulevard and Greenburg Road, with bicycle lanes only on Scholls Ferry Road. The only bike lanes on the east side of the Washington Square Mall are on Hall Boulevard. • The Washington Square Transit Center is located in the northeast parking area of the Washington Square Mall. This transit center serves as a bus stop for routes 43, 45, 56, 62, 76 and 78. These routes connect Washington Square to transit centers in downtown Portland, Beaverton, Tigard and Lake Oswego, as well as providing service to the Tualatin area. A wider selection of transit tools could create a less congested, auto- dependent transportation system within and connecting to the study area. • In the future, those areas already identified as experiencing traffic congestion will continue to be clogged. In addition, other sections of Hall Boulevard, Greenburg Road, and Cascade Avenue and Oleson Road will also experience congestion. Traffic estimates do not predict congestion on local Metzger area streets directly east of Washington Square Mall. POLICIES 11.8.1 THE CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES CONTAINED IN THE WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER PLAN SHALL PROVIDE THE OVERALL GUIDING FRAMEWORK FOR MORE DETAILED IMPLEMENTING ACTIONS FOR THE AREA. THE IMPLEMENTING ACTIONS INCLUDE AT A MINIMUM: a. Comprehensive plan map and zoning map amendments including transportation plan. 5 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 8/~ L INNER b. A public facil4ies plan for the area including a financing plan. C. A transportation improvement plan for the area including a financing plan. d. A parks and open space plan for the area including a financing plan. e. A recognition of the Regional Center Boundary for the purpose of establishing local, regional and state funding priority in order to accomplish the concepts and principles of the plan. 11.8.2 THREE DISTINCT TYPES OF MIXED USE DISTRICTS SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER. THESE DISTRICTS ARE: a. MIXED USE COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS (MUC). THE REGIONAL CENTER PLAN RECOMMENDS THAT LAND AROUND THE WASHINGTON SQUARE MALL AND LAND IMMEDIATELY WEST OF HIGHWAY 217 BE DESIGNATED A MIXED USE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. PRINCIPAL DEVELOPMENT IN THESE AREAS WILL BE OFFICE BUILDINGS, RETAIL AND SERVICE USES. A ZONING DESIGNATION OF MUC WILL ALSO ALLOW MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING AT DENSITIES OF 50 UNITS AN ACRE. MUC DISTRICTS WILL ENCOURAGE LARGER BUILDINGS WITH PARKING UNDER, BEHIND OR ALONGSIDE THE STRUCTURES. b. MIXED USE EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT (MUE). MIXED USE EMPLOYMENT DISTRICTS REFER TO AREAS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF OFFICE, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND LIGHT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIAL USES. COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL SUPPORT USES ARE ALLOWED, BUT ARE LIMITED. THE ZONING WILL PERMIT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT COMPATIBLE WITH THE DISTRICT=S EMPLOYMENT CHARACTER. LINCOLN CENTER IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN AREA DESIGNATED MUE-1, THE HIGH DENSITY MIXED-USE EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT. THE NIMBUS AREA IS DESIGNATED MUE-2, REQUIRING MORE MODERATE DENSITIES. C. MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS (MUR). THE MUR DESIGNATION IS APPROPRIATE FOR PREDOMINANTLY RESIDENTIAL AREAS WHERE MIXED USES ARE PERMITTED WHEN COMPATIBLE WITH THE RESIDENTIAL USE. AREAS WILL BE DESIGNATED HIGH. DENSITY (MUR-1) OR MODERATE DENSITY (MUR-2). Proposed Amendment to Chapter 8. Transportation. Add a new Policy: 6 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 84 8.1.9 THE CITY SHALL ADOPT THE FOLLOWING TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE PLANNED LAND USES IN THE WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER: a. Addition of bus service for employees in the Nimbus office development. This service has been identified as a priority in Tri-Met=s Transit Choices for Livability study. Tri-Met expects to begin service within one to five years. b. Improvements to the Transit Center Amenities in Sub-Area A, including a covered pedestrian path of the mall and improved connections to other retail and commercial establishments would create a significant difference in this area=s pedestrian environment. C. In cooperation with the City of Beaverton and Tri-Met, identification of a new Park & Ride site to replace the existing site that was intended to be temporary. d. Sidewalks on Greenburg Road and completion of sidewalk system on Hall Boulevard will improve connectivity and access, plus construction of pedestrian crossings on Greenburg and Hall. e. A pedestrian trail within and/or around the Progress Downs Public Golf Course presents an opportunity to provide a safe neighborhood walking/exercise area and to serve more of the population using existing resources. f. Recommended mall area street improvements include bringing SW Eliander Lane, SW Washington Square Road, SW Palm Boulevard and the roadway around the cemetery to full street standards. This includes building sidewalks and bicycle lanes. g. Within the mall area parking area, recommend raised pedestrian refuges and designated walkways to connect bicyclists and pedestrians to the mall and adjacent retail establishments. h. Improve multi-modal accessibility, safety and neighborhood traffic management on Locust Street between Lincoln Street and Hall Boulevard, Lincoln Street Between Locust and Oak Streets, Oak Street between Lincoln Street and Hall Boulevard, and on other streets as the need arises. The goal is to improve safety, bicycle accessibility, pedestrian crossing, control traffic speed and improve pedestrian connections. i. Develop Oak, Lincoln and Locust as collectors. Acquire right-of-way to allow a five-lane roadway, and develop Hall Boulevard to a three-lane facility as an initial phase. 7 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 8/c j. Provide pedestrian/bicycle connections between SW Borders Street and Greenburg Road. k. Provide pedestrian/bicycle connections on local streets to, from and within new developments and redevelopments. 1. Create a two-lane, local level over-crossing of Highway 217, from Washington Square to Nimbus Avenue, including pedestrian and bike facilities and people mover extending to Fanno Creek Bikeway. M. Extend Nimbus Avenue to Greenburg Road, including bike and pedestrian facilities. This includes realignment of Greenburg Road and related improvements. n. Construct a regional level over-crossing of Highway 217 connecting Locust Street to Nimbus Avenue and providing for a people mover. o. Reinforce need for interchange capacity improvements at Hall Boulevard and Scholls Ferry Road in the upcoming Highway 217 Major Investment Study. P.

S. Strongly support commuter rail service and a commuter rail station within the Regional Center. Connect the station with other activity centers by an efficient people mover system t. Adopt the functional classification plan for streets internal to the Washington. Square Regional Center as shown on Figure 1. The following policies apply to local streets within the regional center: 1. Local street spacing shall be a maximum of 530 feet. 2. Access way spacing shall be a maximum of 330 feet. 3. Spacing of signalized intersections on Major Arterials shall be a minimum of 600 feet. 4. Existing rights of way will, to the greatest extent possible, be utilized for a local street system. Right of way vacations will be considered only when all other policies in this subsection are met. 8 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 8/~ U. The transportation protects described in this sectionshould be added to the ity o Tigard, s Transportation System Plan. The City, ODOT and Metro should work to include these improvements in regional and state implementation programs. 11.8.3 NECESSARY PUBLIC FACILITIES INCLUDING SEWER, WATER AND DRAINAGE FACILITIES, SHOULD BE IN PLACE OR PLANNED TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN TIME TO SUPPORT NEW DEVELOPMENTS. 11.8.4 NECESSARY TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, AS DETERMINED BY A TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT, SHOULD BE IN PLACE OR PLANNED TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN TIME TO SUPPORT NEW DEVELOPMENTS.

This Chapter will implement the vision, concepts and principles contained in the Washington Square Regional Center Plan, prepared by a Task Force appointed by the City of Tigard. B. Metro's Regional Urban Growth Management Functional Plan target growth capacity for the Washington Square Regional Center will be met by permitting mixed use development within the Regional Center at densities appropriate for an urban center. C. A mixed use Regional Center will contain a variety of districts that vary in scale, predominant use, and character. Distinct districts, connected to each other and to the rest of the region by a multi-modal transportation system, will provide a range of working, living and shopping opportunities. D. Improved multi-modal transportation links, higher densities, variety of land uses, and enhanced environmental qualities will all contribute to create a desirable, livable community in the face of dramatic population and employment growth. E. New mixed-use zoning districts, along with existing residential zoning districts in established areas, are appropriate for the Regional Center. 18.630.020 List of Washington Square Regional Center Mixed Use Zoning Districts A. (MI IC)_ Mixrrd I Ic(- C ommarcial District This designation includes land around the Washington Square Mall and land immediately west of Highway 217. Primary uses permitted include office buildings, retail, and service uses. Also permitted are mixed-use developments and housing at densities of 50 units per acre. Larger buildings are encouraged in this area with parking under, behind or to the sides of buildings. B. (MI IE - MixaI jse f o orient Districts. This designation applies to areas where employ nient uses such as office, research and development and light manufacturing are concentrated. Commercial and retail support uses are allowed but are limited, and residential uses are permitted which are compatible with employment character of the area.

The requirements contained in the Buffer Matrices in Tables 18.745.1 and 18.745.2 shall be used in calculating widths of buffering/screening and required improvement s to be installed between proposed uses in the Washington Square Regional Center (WSRC) and abutting zoning districts not included within the WSRC, or zoning districts which are not mixed-use. For MUC and MUE zones, the requirements for Commercial Zones apply. For MUR zones, the requirements for the Neighborhood Commercial Zone apply. 3. For purposes of detcnnining floor area ratio and residential densities, the net development area shall be used to establish the lot area, determined per Section 18.715.020 A. 4. The minimum and maximum floor area ratios shown in Table 18.630.2 apply to all non-residential building development and mixed-use development which includes a residential component. In mixed-use developments, 7oning Districts & Design Standards-WWt"' 18.630-5 November 22, 1999 residential floor area is included in the calculations of floor area ratio to determine conformance with minimum and maximum FAR. 5. Notwithstanding the requirements of 18.715.020, minimum and maximum density shall be determined for residential only projects using the number of residential units per net acre as shown in Table 18.630.2. The provisions for density transfer described in 18.715.030 apply, using the minimum and maximum density shown in Table 18.630.2. 6. The maximum density requirements for developments that include or abut designated Water Resources Overlay District Riparian Setbacks per Chapter 18.797 are described in Section 18.630.040 (E). C. AdismtmPnts to DnmitVRenuiremPntc The density requirements shown in table 18.630-2 are designed to implement the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. These requirements apply throughout the Regional Center zoning districts, but the City recognizes that some sites are difficult to develop or redevelop in compliance with these requirements. The adjustment process provides a mechanism by which density requirements may be adjusted up to twenty five percent (25%) of the original requirement if the proposed development continues to meet the intended purpose of the requirement and findings are made that all approval criteria are met. Adjustment reviews provide flexibility for unusual situations and allow for alternative ways to meet the purpose of the code. 1. Approval Criteria. Adjustment requests will be approved if the review body finds that the applicant has shown that approval criteria 1 through 4 below, are met. a. Granting the adjustment will equally or better meet the purpose of the regulation to be modified; and b. The proposal will be consistent with the desired character of the area; and c. If more than one adjustment is being requested, the cumulative effect of the adjustments results in a project which is still consistent with the overall purpose of the zone; d. Any impacts resulting from the adjustment are mitigated to the maximum extent possible. 2. Procedure. Requests for an adjustment are processed along with the development proposal for which the application has been filed. 3. Ineligible regulations. Adjustments are prohibited for the following items: a. To allow a primary or accessory use that is not allowed by the regulations; { b. As an exception to any restrictions on uses or development which contain the words "prohibited" or "not allowed", 3 c. As an exception to a qualifying situation for a regulation, such as zones allowed or Zoning Uistricis ct• Design Sean lnrdr-IVSRC 18.630-6 November 21, 1999 items being limited to new development. d. As an exception to a definition or classification e. As an exception to the procedural steps of a procedure or to change assigned procedures. D. Phasing of Develnpment Standards. Projects may use the Site Development Review process (Chapter 18.366) to develop a site by phasing compliance with the development standards established in this Chapter. Such projects must demunstrate how future development of the site, to the minimum development standards established in this Chapter or greater, can be achieved at ultimate build out of the site. The Planning Director may waive or modify the approval period (Section 18.360.030 C) and phased development time schedule (Section 18.360.030 E.1) for projects approved under this section. E. Density Ren,niroments fnr De=lnnm~nta including nr Ahntting Riparian Cethaek Notwithstanding the density requirements in Table 18.630.2, the maximum residential density and mixed-use and non- residential floor area ratio for developments that include or abut Riparian Setbacks shall be no greater than 110 percent of the minimum residential density and floor area ratios in all Mixed Use Zones, except when the following are met: 1. Wetlands within the development are expanded or enhanced in conformance with the Oregon Division of State Lands Wetlands Restoration and Enhancement Program, and if applicable 2. Fish Habitat within the development is enhanced in conformance with the Oregon Division of State Lands Fish Habitat Enhancement Program, and if applicable 3. The overall flood storage capacity of the 100-year floodplain within the development is increased by 10 percent. If the enhancements described above are approved, or if enhancements are already in existence, the maximum residential density standards shown in Table 18.630.2 and no maximum floor area ratio standards for mixed use and non-residential developments shall apply. 18.630.050 Pre-Existing Uses and Developments within the Washington Square Regional Center Mixed Use Districts A. ApplimhilitT. Pre-existing housing units in mixed use districts are permitted. Conversion of pre- existing housing units to other uses is subject to the requirements of this Chapter. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18.760.040, uses prohibited and structures that would be nonconforming in any of the Regional Center Mixed Use zoning districts that were lawfully in existence at the time of adoption of the Regional Center Mixed Use districts are considered to be approved uses and structures. However, future additions, expansions, or enlargements to such uses or structures, shall be limited to the property area and use lawfully in existence at the time of adoption of this ordinance (date). i 1. An addition, expansion, or enlargement of such lawfully preexisting uses and structures up to twenty (20%) of the gross floor area lawfully in existence at the time of adoption of this ordinance will be allowed provided the applicant of such proposed addition, expansion or enlargement demonstrates substantial c6mpliance with all appropriate development standards in this Code, or that the applicant demonstrates that the purposes of applicable development suidards are addressed to the extent that the proposed addition, expansion or enlargement Zoning Districts & Design Standards-U:SRC 18.630-7 Novcniber 22, 1999 allows. 2. All additions, expansions, or enlargements of existing uses or structures that take place after using the 20 percent addition, expansion, or enlargement exception shalt be in conformance with the development standards of this Code. Projects may use the Site Development Review process (Chapter 18.360) to develop a site by phasing compliance with the development standards established in this Chapter per Section 18.360.040.D: 3. If a pre-existing use is destroyed by, fire, earthquake or other Act of God, then the use will retain its pre-existirig status under this provision so long as it is substantially reestablished within three (3) years of the date of the loss. The reestablished use shall be in conformance with the development standards of this Code. Projects may use the Site Development Review process (Chapter 18.360) to develop a site by phasing compliance with the development standards established in this Chapter per Section 18.360.040.D. CHAPTER 18.630.100 WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER DESIGN STANDARDS 18.630.110 Purpose and Applicability A. Deyig nrinnililec, Design standards for public street improvements and for new development and renovation projects have been prepared for the Washington Square Regional Center.

SECTION II: BACKGROUND INFORMATION Site History: In 1996, Metro adopted a visionary plan that would limit the expansion of the Portland Metro Area Urban Growth Boundary yet accommodate growth. This regional plan is known as the Metro 2040 Plan. Focusing development and growth in regional centers represented a key aspect of supporting growth of the area and preserving livability. Regional centers are areas containing concentrated business, local government, retail services, and housing served by high-quality transit. The Washington Square area represents one of three regional centers in Washington County and one of seven in the metropolitan region. To ensure that enough housing and employment is located within the urban growth boundary, Metro's Functional Plan requires that local jurisdictions plan for their respective assigned growth targets for jobs and housing. Tigard's assigned target capacity in the Washington Square Regional Center is 9,804 jobs and 1,500 housing units. Washington County's housing density target of approximately 500 housing units is included in Tigard's target, so that the single-family Metzger neighborhood can be preserved. STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 2 Washington Square Regional Center Mixed Use Districts: Mixed Use Employment 1&2, Mixed Use Residential 1&2, and Mixed Use Commercial! With funding from a Transportation & Growth Management (TGM) Grant, a master planning effort was undertaken to define the boundaries of the Regional Center and propose transportation and land use designations intended to reflect a twenty year planning horizon. To assist the planning effort, Tigard City Council appointed a 23 member task force. Task force members represented neighborhoods, schools, businesses, property owners, state, regional, local governments, and public interest groups. The Washington Square Regional Center Task Force directed staff and consultants in the preparation of the land use and transportation development concept of the Washington Square Regional Center. The Task Force met for over a year and was made up of area residents, business owners and developers, and representatives of the Planning Commission, Metro, and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The recommendations for the Washington Square Regional Center were intended to not only meet the Metro Design Concept for the Regional Center, but also to meet the neighborhood goals for the area. The vision for the Washington Square Regional Center, as developed with the assistance of the Task Force, is guided by the following: Overall Vision: • The Washington Square Regional Center will be a vital regional center serving the needs of the Washington County residents. • Preserve existing residential neighborhoods. • Offer an innovative transportation service that makes it easy for people to reach their destinations. • Focus on Washington Square Mall as a community resource. • Feature a linked belt green belt of parks and open space easily reached by residents and employees. Guiding Principles-Creation/Preservation of Area Identity: • Reinforce a distinctive regional center while recognizing and respecting the character of the nearby residential community. • Retain and develop quality housing, including affordable housing, for all income levels. • Facilitate transitions from one use to another; for example, to multifamily residential uses. • Preserve and enhance Metzger Park and consider additional parks. • Encourage environmentally friendly development. STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 3 e Try to keep historic trees. • Build for our children; have a sense of stewardship. • Think creatively and be innovative in improving/maintaining quality of life. • Consider market forces and development patterns. Y Maintain and preserve floodplains and wetlands. Government/Institutional Issues: • Consider all political boundaries and facilitate cooperation among jurisdictions. e Maintain neighborhood schools. • identify and reinforce what makes the learning (educational) environment viable. Transportation: Strive for a self-sufficient, connected transportation system. Consider transportation needs for whole study area. 0 Plan for a multi-modal transportation system that accommodates increased auto and non-auto travel needs. i Respect and enhance local street networks and neighborhood livability. O Maintain an acceptable level of service and safety on regional roads, outside the study area. ® Provide good transportation access to the rest of the region. ® Make the community accessible for all people and modes with connections for cars, bikes, pedestrians, and transit. y C Maintain a high level of accessibility within and to the regional center. i i Y Use appropriate street and streetscape design. • Encourage attractive, high quality development. ® Promote long-term viability for the area. Assure infrastructure is available prior to or with development. STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 4 Jill 111111EI 111111milmi r The Regional Center Plan should. • Be understandable to lay people. • Be impiementable within a reasonable, staged period of time. • Help develop a sense of community with a common vision, hope and optimism. • Be based on statistics and facts for population, employment, and other factors. • Use existing resources as much as possible. • Encourage compatible and complementary uses. • Contain solutions to common problems. • Avoid conflict with other regional centers. The resulting plan reflects these guiding principles. The plan was completed and the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force accepted this plan in September of 1999. Vicinity Information: The affected parcels and street system are within the area known as the Washington Square Regional Center. The area is generally bordered by Fanno Creek on the west, SW Greenburg Road and Hall Boulevard on the east, Progress Downs Golf Course to the north, and Highway 217, including the Ash Creek area, on the southern border. It was the consensus of the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force that the Washington Square Regional Study area would include 1,250 acres with Washington Square Mall located in approximately the center of the study area. The total study area includes land within unicorporated Washington County and the City of Beaverton. Site Information and Proposal Description: The site is approximately 1,250 acres in size. The proposed land use actions include amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to update references to the Washington Square Regional Center and include a description of the regional center zones (Mixed Use Employment 1&2, Mixed Use Residential 1&2, and Mixed Use Commercial), update the adopted transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan and amend the Development Code to include a new chapter that addresses development standards in the Washington Square Regional Center. Some of n the zoning shown is outside of Tigard's jurisdiction and adoption of these zoning districts, N transportation linkages, and design standards are recommended to the jurisdictions of Washington County and the City of Beaverton. SECTION III: FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Both the requested Comprehensive Plan amendments and Development Code amendments are subject to the same criteria within the Tigard Municipal Code (see Section 18.30.120). The following staff evaluation and findings are therefore intended to address both the requested amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and amendments to STAFF REPORT CPA 199M002 Page 5 the Development Code. The relevant criteria in this case are Statewide Goals 1-19: Oregon Administrative Rule 660-12-060; Comprehensive Plan Policies 1.1.1, 2.1.1, 6.1.1, 8.1.1, 8.2.2, 9.1.1, 12.1.1,-12.2.1; and Community Development Code Chapter 18.390:060 and 18.390.060(G). STATEWIDE GOALS Citizen Involvement: Goal 1 requires a ci¢.izen involvement program that ensures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in the planning process. Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.1 and Tigard Community Development Code Chapter 18 provide for citizen participation and notice. Notice of the Planning Commission and City Council hearings and opportunity for response were advertised in the local newspaper and request for comments were sent to the Department of Land Conservation and Development. A public hearing notice was mailed out to all property owners within the Washington Square Regional Center, as well as property owners located within 500 feet of the proposed land use action. In 1998, Tigard City Council appointed 23 people to serve on the Washington. Square Regional Center Task Force. Task Force members represented neighborhoods, schools, business, property owners, state, and local governments, and public interest groups. The task force met 17 times between June 3, 1998, and August 18, 1999. All meetings were open to the public and time was set aside on every meeting agenda to solicit public comment. Three public workshops were held. One was held on September 28, 1998; one workshop was held at Washington Square during the day and another at Metzger School in the evening. A second public workshop was held on March 8, 1999, at the Tigard Water Building and a final public open house was held on September 15, 1999, at Metzger Park Hall to present the findings of the Task Force. Metro provided a $10,000 grant to the City of Tigard to supplement the City's public outreach program. This goal is satisfied. Land Use Planning: Goal 2 requires, in part, that adopted comprehensive plans be revised to take into account changing public policies and circumstances. This goal is met because the City has applied all relevant Statewide Planning Goals, City Comprehensive Plan policies and Community Development Code requirements in the review of this proposal. In addition, the proposal is intended to implement the vision for a Regional Center that is expressed in Metro's 2040 Growth Concept and comply with Metro's i Functional Plan. ~ Agricultural Lands: Goal 3 requires, in part, that adopted comprehensive plans be 3 revised to preserve and maintain agricultural lands. This goal is not applicable because a no agricultural lands are involved in this legislative plan and code amendment. Forest Lands: Goal 4 requires, in part, that adopted comprehensive plans be revised to preserve and maintain forest lands. This goal is not applicable because no forest lands are involved in this legislative plan and code amendment. STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 6 Open Spaces, Scenic, and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources: Goal 6 requires, in part, that adopted comprehensive plans be revised to conserve and protect natural resources and scenic resources. This goal is met because the plan protects all resources as follows: 1. Open spaces: Some of the goals of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan are as follows: "[f]eature a linked green belt of parks and open space easily reached by residents and employees and [p]reserve and enhance Metzger Park and consider additional parks." The Washington Square Regional Center supports existing open space protections and identifies the need for 12 additional acres of open space. 2. Scenic resources: This part of the goal is not applicable because no identified scenic views exist in this area. 3. Historic areas: This part of the goal is not applicable because no historic areas are inventoried for the portion of the Regional Center located in the City of Tigard. 4. Natural resources: The City of Tigard has existing regulations protecting natural resources. The Washington Square Regional Center plan is providing an optional development standard to provide incentives to developers to enhance natural resource areas. The following incentive is proposed under 18.630.040(E) of the Washington Square Regional Center comprehensive plan amendments: "Density Requirements for Developments including or abutting riparian setback. Notwithstanding the density requirements in Table 18.630.2, the maximum density and floor area ratio for developments that include or abut riparian setbacks shall be no greater than 110 percent of the minimum residential density and floor area ratios in all Mixed Use Zones, except when the following are met: 1. Wetlands within the development are expanded or enhanced in conformance with the Oregon Division of State Lands Wetlands Restoration and Enhancement Program, and if applicable 2. Fish Habitat within the development is enhanced in conformance with the Oregon Division of State Lands Fish Habitat Enhancement Program, and if applicable 3. The overall flood storage capacity of the 100-year floodplain within the development is increased by 10 percent." Air, Water, and Land Resources Quality: Goal 6 requires the maintenance and improvement of the quality of air, water, and land resources of the state. The City of Tigard complies with this goal through its adopted comprehensive plans and policies regarding water resources (Tigard Comprehensive Plan Volume II, Chapter 4 and Tigard Development Code standard: 18.7 97). Natural Disasters and Hazards: Goal 7 requires the maintenance and improvement of the quality of the air, water, and land resources of the state. This City of Tigard has existing regulations that address natural disasters and hazards. Washington Square Regional Center Plan does not affect these provisions. Recreational Needs: Goal 8 requires that the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 7 Balm LM M, recreational facilities including destination resorts. This goal is not applicable because no recreational issues or destination resort issues are involved. Economic Development: Goal 9 requires. the provision of adequate opportunities for a variety of economic activities. This goal has been met because the plan continues to promote opportunities for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare and prosperity of Tigard citizens. The mix of uses will encourage a diversity of development with emphasis on employment based uses. During the planning process for the Washington Square Regional Center, consultants performed an analysis of development and redevelopment opportunities in the study area. The study shows that approximately 170 acres of land will be needed over the next 20 years to accommodate the development densities outlined in the Washington Square Regional Center Plan. The report summarizing these opportunities is attached to this staff report. Please refer to exhibit A. Housing: Goal 10 requires that plans shall encourage the availability of adequate numbers of needed housing units at various price ranges and rent levels and allow for flexibility of housing location, type and density. The new Mixed Use Residential 1&2 zones will encourage higher density housing than currently exists. Mixed Use Residential 1 will require a minimum residential density of 50 units per acre and Mixed Use Residential 2 will require a minimum residential density of 25 units per acre. The existing commercial and commercial professional zones do not allow opportunities for residential development with the commercial and office development. The new zoning will provide provisions that allow retention of existing residences thereby preserving affordable housing, while still providing the opportunity for high-density housing. Goal 10, Housing, is, therefore, met because the proposal provides for additional housing opportunities as called for both in the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Metropolitan Housing Rule, in addition to the Metro 2040 Plan. One of Washington County's strategies to meet their required housing densities recommended that the area in unincorporated Washington County be rezoned from R-5 to R-40 to comply with Metro residential growth targets. The Task Force is recommending that the single-family zoning remain and that Washington County's share of the Washington Square Regional Center residential growth targets be located elsewhere within the Washington Square Regional Center, threreby preserving an existing single-family neighborhood. The analysis of available land done by the consultants confirm that additional dwelling units can be accommodated elsewhere within the Regional Center. Public Facilities and Services: Goal 11 requires planning and development of timely, orderly, and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. Because the Washington Square Regional Center plan includes the adoption of a transportation system plan and parks and open space plan to support the proposed land uses, this goal is satisfied. Street and utility improvements are addressed in Chapter 18.810 of the Tigard Development Code. Transportation: Goal 12 requires a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. The Washington Square Regional Center Transportation Plan has been STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 8 extensively analyzed to evaluate the impacts that the proposed new zoning categories would have on transportation systems. The project team has worked closely with the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force, has reviewed the draft Regional Center Plan and past traffic studies for proposed development projects in the study area, and has conducted a planning analysis of the 2020 traffic volume forecasts for the area-wide roadway system. Although traffic will be increased with the development of the proposed Washington Square Regional Center, the traffic studies show that traffic congestion will exist in the future with or without the proposed land use changes. The proposed mixed-use zones will create the potential to capture some of the auto trips going in and leaving the Regional Center. The Washington Square Regional Center Plan proposes to improve the transportation through the following improvements: work with regional partners to develop a commuter rail system; improve transit both to and within the regional center; improve local street connections; improve sidewalks and bike lanes; and widen key regional streets. In addition, the proposed transportation improvements as part of the Regional Center plan include a series of pedestrian/bicycle improvements that will increase the . ability to use alternate modes of transportation. Attached is a summary of proposed transportation improvements for the Washington Square Regional Center area (please refer to exhibit B). This memorandum describes the final evaluation of alternatives for motor vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit travel modes, and describes a recommended Transportation Master Plan for the Washington Square Regional Center. One of the recommendations of the transportation element of the Washington Square Regional Center is to eventually widen Hall Boulevard to five lanes. The Metro Regional Transportation Plan shows that Hall Boulevard will need to be widened to five lanes to accommodate traffic in the area over the twenty year planning horizon. The Washington Square Regional Center recognizes that the Regional Transportation Plan calls for expansion of Hall Boulevard to five lanes; however, the task force endorses an expansion to three lanes while acquiring right of way for a five lane roadway. This goal is satisfied because the total projects outlined above will create a transportation system that can support the proposed land use changes. Energy Conservation: Goal 93 requires that land and uses developed on land shall be managed and controlled so as to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy, based upon sound economic principles. The proposed Washington Square Regional Center design concept would allow the opportunity to build residential development in commercial and industrial areas and, therefore, create the opportunity for people to live in close proximity to work and/or shopping. In addition, the transportation improvements proposed outline a series of bicycle/pedestrian improvements that will increase the alternate modes of travel. This goal is satisfied. STAFF REPORT _ CPA 1999-0002 Page 8 r Urbanization: Goal 14 requires orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. This goal is not applicable because urban growth boundary issues are not involved. Willamette River Greenway: Goal 15 requires protection, conservation, and enhancement of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway. This goal is not applicable because Willamette River Greenway issues are not involved. Estuarine Resources: Goal 16 requires recognition and protection of the unique environmental, economic, and social values of each estuary and associated wetlands and, where appropriate, protect, maintain and restore the long-term environmental, economic, and social values diversity and benefits of Oregon's estuaries. This goal is not applicable. Coastal Shorelands: Goal 17 requires conservation, protection, and, where appropriate, restoration of coastal shorelands. This goal is not applicable. Beaches and Dunes: Goal 18 requires conservation, protection, and, where appropriate, restoration of coastal beaches and dunes. This goal is not applicable. Ocean Resources: Goal 19 requires conservation of the long-term values, benefies, and natural resources of the nearshore ocean and the continental shelf. This goal is not applicable. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE STATUTES OR GUIDELINES Oregon Administrative Rule: Section 660-12-060 states that plan amendments which significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and level of service of the facility. Section 660=12-060 of the Transportation Planning Rule requires that amendments to rim acknowledged comprehensive plans and land use regulations which may significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity and level of service of the facility. Plan or regulation amendments significantly affect a transportation facility if it changes the functional classification of a i transportation facility; changes facility standards, creates levels of service which are inconsistent with the functional classification of the facility, or would reduce the level of service below the minimum acceptable. i i The list of projects outlined in the Transportation Element of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan will create a functional transportation system that can support the proposed land use changes, and this plan is compatible with Metro's Functional Plan Goals and Policies, and Metro's Regional Transportation Plan. COMPLIANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 10 General Policies: Policy 1.1.1(a) requires that legislative changes are consistent with statewide planning goals and the regional development plan. The proposal is consistent with statewide planning goals as addressed above under 'Statewide Goals'. The proposal conforms with the applicable portions of the Metro "Urban Growth Management Functional Plan" that was approved for adoption on October 24, 1996, by the Metro Council. The "Growth Concept" map associated with the Functional Plan indicates this area as a "Regional Center". Since most of the concept area for the proposed Washington Square Regional Center is located within the City of Tigard, we took the lead in developing the plan for this area. The Metro Framework Plan has the following description: "These regional centers would become the focus of compact development, redevelopment and high-quality transit service, multi-modal street networks and act as major nodes along regional through routes. The Growth Concept estimates about 3 percent of new household growth and 11 percent of new employment growth would be accommodated in these regional centers. From the current 24 people per acre, the Growth Concept wouid allow for about 60 people per. acre (Regional Framework Plan, pp. 17-18, December 11, 1997)." Citizen Involvement: Policy 2.1.1 states that the City shall maintain an ongoing citizen involvement program and shall assure that citizens will be provided an opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The Planning Commission and City Council hearings were legally advertised. The meetings of the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force were open to the public and time was provided during each meeting for the public to make comments. Public workshops and open houses were held during the planning process for the Washington Square Regional Center. Notice was sent of the workshops to property owners within 500' of the study area to ensure that they had the opportunity to learn about our planning process and to participate in it. Metro provided the City with a $10,000 grant to help facilitate an extensive public involvement program. Housing: Policy 6.1.1 requires the City shall provide an opportunity for a diversity of housing densities and residential types at various prices and rent levels. This policy is primarily implemented through OAR 660-07, the Metropolitan Housing Rule. The rule requires that the City maintain sufficient residential buildable land to provide the opportunity for at least 50% of new units to be attached single family or multi-family housing and to provide for an overall density of ten units per acre. The City is currently in compliance with this rule. The proposed Washington Square Regional Center design concept will encourage a variety of housing types including single-family detached, duplexes, fourplexes, rowhouses, and new multi-family developments. Transportation: Policy 8.1.1 requires the City to plan for a safe and efficient street and roadway system that meets current needs and anticipated future growth and development. The list of projects outlined in the Transportation Element of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan will create a functional transportation system that can support a safe and efficient roadway system that meets current needs and anticipated future growth. Transit: Policy 8.2.2: THE CITY SHALL ENCOURAGE THE EXPANSION AND USE OF PUBLIC TRANSIT BY: STAFF REPORT CPA i999-6602 Page i 1~ a. LOCATING LAND INTENSIVE USES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO TRANSITWAYS; The Washington Square Regional Center Plan encourages the development of intense land uses in close proximity to existing bus lines in Washington Square, on Greenburg Road, on Hall Boulevard, and in proximity to the proposed commuter rail station. b. INCORPORATING PROVISIONS INTO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE WHICH REQUIRE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS TO PROVIDE TRANSIT FACII-(TIES; AND The existing development _ Ae addresses the provision of transit facilities c. SUPPORTING EFFORTS BY TRI-MET AND OTHER GROUPS TO PROVIDE FOR THE REEDS OF THE TRANSIT DISADVANTAGED. Tri-Met has been involv,.;d in the development of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan and the City continues to work with Tri-Met on issues of the transit disadvantaged. Energy: Policy 9.1.1: THE CITY SHALL ENCOURAGE A REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY INCREASED OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION AND THE PRODUCTION OF ENERGY FROM ALTERNATIVE SOURCES. The Washington Square Regional Center Plan will encourage reduction in energy consumption by allowing the opportunity for housing to be located in close proximity to jobs and transit. Locational Criteria: Policy 12.1.1: THE CITY SHALL PROVIDE FOR HOUSING DENSITIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH: a. Applicable Plan Policies; The Washington Square Regional Center Plan is creating mixed-use zones that will allow high-density esidential zones and plan policies regarding these zones to address the goals of Metro 2040. b. Applicable Locational Critieria; 4. Medium-High Density and High Density Residential A. The following factors will be the determinants of the areas designated for high density on the plan map: (1) Areas which are not committed to low density development; One of the goals of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan is to preserve existing residential neighborhoods which is why the City is recommending to Washington County to leave the Metzger neighborhood with its existing single-family zoning. Areas proposed for higher density zoning are located next to or within existing commercially zoned area. (2) Areas which can be buffered from low density residential areas in order to maximize the privacy of established low density residential areas; f The existing development code has buffering standards. One of the goals of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan is to facilitate transitions from one use to another, for example, multifamily residential uses, which is why the higher density zones will be located closer to existing commercially zoned areas. (3) Areas which have direct access from a major collector or arterial street; s The Washington Square Regional Center Area is surrounded by collector and arterial streets such as, Hall Boulevard, Scholls Ferry Road, and Highway 217. In addition, the transportation element of the plan includes new collector streets to support existing and new development. (4) Areas which are not subject to development limitations; The existing Tigard Development Code addresses issues of site development limitations. (5) Areas where the existing facilities have the capacity for additional development; STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 12 1111MI 1211111111 M11 I The transportation element of the Washington Square Regional Center plan adds transportation improvements to the existing comprehensive plan to support existing and new development and land use-densities. (6) Areas within one-quarter mile of public transit; Bus lines exist to serve Washington Square Mall, on Scholls Ferry Road, and on Greenburg Road. In addition, commuter rail is being studied that will run through the Regional Center. (7) Areas within one-quarter mile from neighborhood and general commercial shopping centers or business and office centers; and Washington Square Mall, Burlington Plaza on Cascade Avenue, and Lincoln Center are located within the Regional Center. (8) Areas adjacent to either private or public permanent open space. The Greenway Park area is located next to the Regional Center and the plan identifies the need for additional open space in the regional center, as part of one of the implementation strategies. B. The following factors will be determinants of the density ranges allowed in the medium-high and high density planned areas should the City adopt more than one high density zone: (1) The topography and natural features of the area and the degree of possible buffering from established low density residential areas; One of the goals of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan is to preserve the existing single-family character of the Metzger neighborhood. In addition, Tigard's existing development code standards address issues of land use compatibility and buffering. (2) The capacity of the services; The transportation element of the Washington Square Regional Center plan adds transportation improvements to the existing comprehensive plan to support existing and new development and land use densities. In addition, the Tigard Development Code has a section that addresses public service and utility improvements. (3) The distance from public transit; and Bus lines exist to serve Washington Square Mall, on Scholls Ferry Road, and on Greenburg Road. In addition, commuter rail is being studied that will run through the Regional Center. (4) The relationship of the site to existing neighborhood and general commercial centers and office and business centers. One of the goals of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan is to preserve existing single-family neighborhoods, to facilitate transition of land uses, and to reinforce a distinctive Regional Center while recognizing and respecting the character of the nearby residential community. Policy 12.2.1 NEW COMMERCIAL ZONES a. PROVIDE FOR COMMERCIAL DEVLEOPMENT BASED ON THE TYPE OF USE, ITS SIZE AND REQUIRED TRADE AREA The new commercial zones will not differ significantly from existing commercial uses in the City plan and code, except for that they will allow a mix of commercial and residential development. b.

PROVISION OF ADDITIONAL OR REVISED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LANGUAGE Certain Comprehensive Plan language will require amendment or additional language to address the proposed Washington Square Regional Center Plan. Exhibit C includes the specific language from the Comprehensive Plan that requires amendment. COMPLIANCE WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTIONS: Procedures for Decision Making: Legislative: Chapter 18.390.060 establishes procedures for consideration of legislative and quasi-judicial changes to the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, implementing ordinances and maps. Section 18.30.390`G) lists the factors upon which the Planning Commission and City Council shall base their decisions. The factors and responses are as follows: 18.390.060 TYPE IV PROCEDURE This land use action involves legislative and quasi-judicial amendments therefore, as per Type IV procedures a two hearings one before the Planning Commission and one before the City Council were held. Notice of the hearings was given to property owners within 500 feet, as well as to affected government agencies. G. Decision-Making Considerations: The recommendation by the Commission and the decision by the Council shall be based on the following factors: 1. The Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines adopted under the Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 197; These standards are addressed in Section II under'Statewide Goals' in this staff report. 2. Any federal or state statutes or regulations found applicable; The State's Transportation Planning Rule is addressed in Section IV under 'Compliance with Federal and State Statutes or Guidelines'. 3. Any applicable METRO regulations; In 1996, the Functional Plan designated the Washington Square Mail and the area around it as a regional center; an area of intense commercial, office, retail, and residential development. Under the 2040 plan, Tigard is required to demonstrate how it can comply with the concepts demonstrated under the 2040 plan. This proposed plan will define how we can accommodate the expected growth, and prevent the Metzger area from the necessity of upzoning. Please refer to exhibit C for the Washington Square Regional Center Plan Amendments and Zoning Ordinance. 4. Any applicable comprehensive plan policies; and These standards are addressed under 'Compliance with Plan Policies" in this staff report. 5.

The Regional Center Task Force has had several work sessions evaluating options and refining a desired development scenario. Both the target employment and dwelling unit assumptions for the most recent scenarios are higher than the figures noted above for mixed-use areas to reflect that the study area includes areas within the City of Beaverton and unincorporated Washington Counry as well as the City of Tigard. Table 3 summarizes a development scenario for the Washington Square Regional Center, The scenario is based on accommodating the following job and housing targets: Growth Scenario Summary: 1998-2020 Employment: 9,804 jobs Retail: 1,188 jobs Office: 8,436 jobs Lodging: 180 jobs Housing: 1,500 units Residents: 2530 people Estimates were made of needed building area to accommodate both employment types and housing, and land needed for parking at target parking ratios. Two scenarios were then identified, which represent "bookends" as to the amount of land needed within the study area to accommodate the growth targets. j The Mgh Density Scenario assumed high floor area ratios (FAR ratio of building area to site i area) and residential densities, mixed-use buildings, and also assumed that new parking would be predominantly constructed in parking structures. Approximately 120 acres would be needed. The Moderate Density Scenario assumed floor area ratios and housing densities within the range j that exists in the study area today, and also assumed that most new parking would be constructed on surface parking lots. Approximately 220 acres would be needed. 1 Table I-Target Capacity for Housing and Employment Units-Year 1994"-2017, Urban Growh APyin emenl Function ai 1 Plan, Metro, 1996.

Spencer 1[5031 282-2723 S P- Table 4 shows a refimed development program for the study area by sub-area. This program provides for the same target employment and housing as do the scenarios describod in Table 3. Sub-Areas A and C are assumed to dcvelop at higher densities than the rest of the study area. These sub-areas include the areas around the Washington Square Mall and the Lincoln Center office complex. Sub-Areas B, D and E are assumed to develop at intensities more moderate, but generally greater than existing intensity in these areas. Density assumptions are summarized below: Land Use: High 1kna:ty: Moderate Density: Office @ FAR 1.25 @ FAR 0.6 Retail @ FAR 0.6 C FAR 0.3 Lodging @ FAR 1.0 @ FAR 1.0 Housing @ 50 DU/Acre @ 25 DU/Acre This refined development program will require approximately 170 acres over the next 20 years. Table 4 shows the amount of net land available for development within each sub-area. Adequate development and redevelopment capacity exists within the study area as a whole to accommodate development at densities assumed in Table 4. Sub-Area B is shown to need approximately two additional acres to accommodate the growth allocated to this area. It is anticipated that that growth will likely occur in adjacent sub-areas. The analysis shown in Table 4 is for general planning purposes only. More detailed analysis of zoning capacity will be required to refine ultimate development allocations. i Development and Redevelopment Opportunities PW 7 Niarch 24, 19' 9 _Uri Lill LUI 1 1 0 1 rur •r a Table 4 WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CEN'T'ER Proposed Development Program C Final Task Force Development Allocations " e -c Growth Summary Employment: 9,804 jobs Retail: 1,188 jobs r_ Office: 8,43 6 jobs j Lodging: 180 jobs Housing: 1,500 uluts r Sub-Area A Sub-Area B Sub-Area C Sub-Area D Sub-Area E.

Date: June 25, 1999 Project: Washington Square Regional Center, KAI Project.#2879 Subject: Transportation Master Plan - Deliverable 2B This memorandum describes the final evaluation of alternatives for motor vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit travel modes, and describes a recommended Transportation Master Plan for the Washington Square Regional Center. BACKGROUND Transit, Pedestrian, Bicycle Transportation Opportunities to improve multi-modal access to/from and within the Washington Square Regional - Center were evaluated in a separate memorandum (Alternative Transportation Modes) regarding bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities. Existing deficiencies in transit, pedestrian, and bicycle access were identified. Several potential treatments were described aimed at providing a safe and efficient transportation system for all travel modes in the Washington Square Regional Center. Motor Vehicle Transportation Three alternative transportation system concepts were developed to meet future motor vehicle demand in the Washington Square Regional Center. These concepts were described and evaluated in detail in a previous Technical Memorandum (Transportation System Improvement Alternatives). The following briefly repeats the three initial concepts: Alternative A was designed to test the effect of a series of regionally significant transportation system treatments, which either provided alternate routes through the area for regional traffic, or improved the capacity of existing congested corridors. The specific treatments tested under Alternativf3 A include: • Alternate northbound Highway 217 ramp arrangement at Hall Boulevard. • New over-crossing of Highway 217 from Locust Street. • New corridor connecting Greenburg Road south of Highway 217, to Hall Boulevard west of the existing Nimbus Avenue intersection. • Neighborhood circulation roadway Alternative 13 was developed to test the effect of a series of locally significant transportation system treatments, which primarily provided alternate connections for Washington Square Mall \\K17' rvX\WKK\ProjldcV8mfUrl'UKIUm-2b.doc Ell ai Washington Square Regional Center TeGrnlcat Memorbvadum Jane 25, 1999 Recommended TranspoeW tI'on Master Ptan traffic to access the regional transportation network It was expected that this could assist in reducing predicted congestion on critical. regionally significant locatiotts in' the study area, /particularly Hall Boulevard. Specific elements of Alternative B include: Highway 217 Over-crossing from Washington Square Highway 217 Over-crossing from Locust Street alignment 45 Neighborhood Circulation Roadway Under Alternative C, a new roadway connection to the Washington Square Mall from SW Hall Boulevard ('immediately north of Highway 217) would be provided to relieve congestion on SW Locust Street and SW Hall Boulevard east of the Washington Square Mall. ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ELEMENTS Following the evaluation of the three alternative motor vehicle system concepts, components of the system concepts were identified as potential elements of an improved transportation system. The project team isolated individual components of the Alternatives A, B, and C as elements of a single master plan integrating regional and local transportation improvements. The individual elements are listed below along with the findings of the evaluation by the task force and project team. Pedestrian, bicycle, and transit system treatments are listed as well. Nimbus Bus Service Incorporate bus service to serve employees in the Nimbus office developments. This new service was identified in Tri-Met's Transit Choices fur Livability study and is expected to be implemented withine-one-to-five year time frame. ➢ RECOMMENDED Sidewalks on Greenburg (Sub-Area A) Provide sidewalks on the west side of Greenburg Road adjacent to the Mall as development occurs. Treatment Evaluation Provision of sidewalks on Greenburg Road is consistent with State Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) requirement of sidewalks on arterials and collectors, and would improve pedestrian connectivity and access in this transition area to the commercial core. ➢ RECOMMENDED Transit Center Amenities (Sub-Area A) Improve amenities at the Washington Square Mall Transit Center, including a covered pedestrian path to the Mall, and improved connections to other retail and commercial establishments in the .vicinity. This is consistent with Tri-Met's Transit Choices for Livability plan. Treatment Evaluation Transit is a key component of the Regional Center transportation system. The Transit Center in Washington Square Mall is the hub for all routes serving the Regional Center. Tri-Met's Transit Choices for Livability Study identifies improved amenities as a high community priority. ➢ RECOMMENDED Kittalson & Associales, Inc. Pago 2 Washington Square Regional Center TechMcai Men70randum Jvtre 25, 1999 Reaonvrww d Transportation Masternan Sidewalks on Hall (Sub-Areas B&C) . Complete sidewalks on Hall Boulevard as development occurs. Treatment Evaluation Several gaps in the sidewalk network exist along Hall Boulevard. Provision of sidewalks on arterials is a requirement of the -TPR. Completing the existing network will improve pedestrian circulation and access. D RECONOAENIDED Sidewalk Construction ou HallBoulevard at Cascade (Sub-Area E) Complete the sidewalk on the north side of SW Hall Boulevard near Cascade Avenue and Highway 217 bridge, allowing pedestrians on the north side of SW Hall Boulevard to safely access the.south side of Hall Boulevard and the Highway 217 over-crossing via the pedestrian crossing signal at Cascade Avenue. Treatment Evaluation A short gap exists in the sidewalk on the north side of Hall Boulevard between Nimbus Avenue and the Highway 217 over-crossing. Sidewalks on the over-crossing are only provided on the north side. Therefore, filling this gap will help ensure pedestrian safety. RECOMMENDED Evaluate a Golf Course Pedestrian Trail (Sub-Area A) Evaluate the feasibility to provide pedestrian pathway or trail connections from neighborhoods to and through (or around) Progress Downs Golf Course (similar to the popular pedestrian trail around . Glendoveer Golf Course). Treatment Evaluation A pedestrian trail within the Progress Downs Public Golf Course presents an opportunity to provide a safe neighborhood wAking/exercise area and to serve a greater portion of the population with existing resources. RECOMMENDED Mall Area Street Development (Sub-Area A) Improve SW Eliander Lane, SW Washington Square Road, SW Palm Boulevard and the roadway bounding the Cemetery to full street standards, including sidewalks and bicycle lanes. These improvements would require policies to ensure that treatments would occur with redevelopment Treatment Evaluation This treatment is a key component in providing pedestrians and bicycle access and circulation from the area surrounding the Mall to and within the retail core of the Regional Center. Barriers within the commercial core area hinder direct pedestrian access between retail establishments, potentially encouraging added vehicle trips onto the surrounding roadway. For example, customers shopping at the Target store on Hall Boulevard leave no direct pedestrian connection to Washington Square Mall. This encourages vehicle trips onto Hall Boulevard in order to visit these two retail businesses. ➢ RECOMMENDED 1<-,rttelson & Associates, If 7c. Page 3 Washington S4~m ReglorW Center TechnA=l Memorandum Jtme 25, y999 Reoomrrrended Tran-'% tbn Mas&v-Ran Pedestrian Amenities within the Commercial Core (Sub-Area A) Provide pedestrian treatments such as raised pedestrian refuges and designated walkways within the mall parking areas. Provide pedestrian/bicycle connections between Washington Square mall and retail establishments adjacent to the Mall (e.g., connections to the mall from Target, and between the Fuddruckers and Sears). Treatment Evaluation There is a high volume of-motor vehicle traffic within the parking lots of the Washington Square Mall. Pedestrian treatments, such as raised pedestrian refuges and designated walkways within the Mall parking areas, will provide safe walking access to retail and other activities'and minimize potential pedestrian and vehicle conflicts. Additionally, pedestrian and bicycle connections between retail establishments will reduce the existing barriers within the commercial core and discourage vehicle trips onto the surrounding roadway. Policies should be implemented to support pedestrial and bicycle connections as redevelopment within the core occurs. These are public improvements recommended on private right-of-way; and would therefore require implementing policies to ensure that treatments would occur with redevelopment. ➢ RECOMMENDED Park & Ride Improvements (Sub-Area A) Improve amenities at the existing Park & Ride lot to promote this as a viable transportation option. Treatment Evaluation The Park & Ride lot at Scholls Ferry Road and Highway 217 serves commuters leaving the Washington Square Regional Center. However, vehicle trips associated with the parking lot impact the already congested roadways within the Regional Center system. Since, its current location was originally intended to be a temporary site, a new location (or locations) should be identified to better serve. Regional Center travel demands ➢ NOT RECOMMENDED (Improvements at existing Park & Ride) RECOMMENDED (Identify location(s) for new Park & Ride) Evaluate Pedestrian Crossings on Greenburg and Hall (Sub-Area A) Evaluate feasibility of mid-block raised pedestrian crossings on Greenburg Road and Hall Boulevard Treatment Evaluation Hall Boulevard and Greenburg Road are barriers to east/west non-motorized travel. Providing mid- block raised pedestrian crossings would provide additional opportunities for pedestrians to cross H these streets. There are advantages and disadvantages associated with constructing mid-block ca crossings. An evaluation of right-of-way impacts, construction costs, impacts to traffic flow, and ~H pedestrian demand for mid-block raised pedestrian refuges on these two roadways would be H beneficial.` a ➢ RECOMMENDED r~ U' Neighborhood Traffic Management (Sub-Area 13) Implement neighborhood traffic management on Locust Street between Lincoln Street and (-Tall Boulevard, Lincoln Street between Locust Street and Oak Street, and Oak Strect h,;(Xveen Lincoln Street and Hall Boulcvard(e.g. bicycle accessibility, pedestrian crossing treatments, speed control treatments, and pedestrian connections into adjacent neighborhoods). Kitte/son & Associates, tnc• Page 4 Washington square negionat center Technical Mermntndum June 25, 1999 Recommended Transpodatlon i~vPasterpPan Treatment Evaluation ➢ Oak Street, and Locust Street currently serve as major east/west connections into the Regional Center Area. Implementing a traffic management prograrn'on these streets could control travel speeds, create a safer pedestrian and bicyclist environment and thus minimize the negative impacts associated with higher volume streets. RECOMMENDED Oak-Lincoln-Locust Collectors System. (Sub-Area C) Develop Oak Street as east/west collector (connecting Hall Boulevard and areas cast to Lincoln Street). Develop Lincoln Street as a north/south collector connecting Oak Street to Locust Street Under this treatment, Hall Boulevard would require widening to five lanes (see next element). Treatment Evaluation Distributes cast-west traffic between Locust Street and Oak Street, and improves accessibility to the Lincoln Center commercial district, and neighboring residential areas for vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle modes.. This treatment is mutually exclusive to the Highway 217 parallel roadway treatment described later. RECOMMENDED Widen Ball Boulevard to Five Lanes Widen Hall Boulevard to a five-lane arterial section between Oleson Road and the southern boundary of the study area, consistent with the RTP recommendations. Treatment Evaluation Hall Boulevard is a state arterial roadway and is a major travel corridor through the Regional Center. Upgrading the facility reduces cut through traffic in surrounding residential areas, and improves the level of service for regional trips through the area. A RECOMMENDED Borders Street Pedestrian /Bike Connection (Sub-Area B) Provide pedestrian/bicycle connection between SW Borders Street and Greenburg Road Treatment Evaluation A vacant parcel east of Greenburg Road would serve as the alignment for a pedestrian/bicycle connection between Borders Street and Greenburg Road. However, the parcel is planned for the development of a hotel, and an alternative alignment has not been identified. ➢ NOT RECOMMENDED n N Pedestriaq & Bicycle Connections in New Developments (Sub-Area C) -4 Provide pedestrian/bicycle connections on local streets in new developments. Treatment Evaluation Provision of pedestrian and bicycle connections in new developments is consistent with Metro's regional goal to increase the modal share of pedestrian and bicycle trips. ➢ RECOMMENDED Kitteison & Assoc/ates, Inc. Page 5 11111111 Mani Washington Square Regional Center Tec,hnktW Memomndurn June•25, 7999 Recommended Tramwottabon Master Ran Nimbus-to-Cascade Pedestrian Connections (Sub-Area E) Consider pedestrian connections from Nimbus Ave to Cascade Ave. Treatment Evaluation Currently, pedestr an access between these two key north-south roadways can require significant out-of-direction travel due to the existing land use development, the railroad tracks, and the distance between pedestrian connections. Increasing pedestrian connections between office developments and retail activities (across or over the railroad tracks) will reduce the reliance on motor vehicle travel between neighboring properties. However, this connection should be incorporated as part of the Mall-to-Nimbus over-crossing, and is not recommended as a separate treatment. D NOT RECOMMENDED Mall-to-Nimbus Avenue Over-Crossing (Sub-Area A) Provide a Highway 217 over-crossing connecting Washington Square to Nimbus Avenue, including pedestrian and bicycle facilities extending to Fanno Creek Bikeway. Treatment Evaluation Provide a two-lane, local level over-crossing of Highway 217, from Washington Square to Nimbus Avenue. The over-crossing must clear both Highway 217 and the rail corridor before meeting Nimbus Avenue at grade. Ramped connections to Cascade Avenue will promote accessibility between two previously disconnected sub-areas of the Regional Center. Provides relief to the Hall Boulevard/Scholls Ferry Road intersection, and the Hall Boulevard/Highway 217 interchange by . allowing westbound Mall traffic to bypass these congested areas. RECOMMENDED Nimbus Avenue Extension to Greenburg Road (Sub-Areas D&E) Extend Nimbus Avenue to Greenburg Road, including facilities for pedestrian and bicycle modes. Re-align Greenburg Road to be continuous along Nimbus Avenue with the existing Greenburg Road forming a T-intersection with the new Nimbus Arterial. The new connection would provide arterial level access from Greenburg Read to Hall Boulevard along the existing Nimbus Boulevard. The arterial would be a three-to-four lane, 35mph facility. Treatment Evaluation Passes through the existing Nimbus Avenue/Scholls Ferry Road intersection, and where possible uses the existing Nimbus Avenue alignment. Serves regional demand between northwest and southeast of the regional center. Provides opportunity for motorists to divert off of Hall Boulevard to gain access to Hall Boulevard north and west of the study area. The arterial forms a connected Z system with the recommended Locust Street, and Nimbus Avenue/Mall over-crossings of Highway 217. Assists in relieving congestion on Hall Boulevard, Scholls Ferry Road (east of Nimbus Avenue), and the Highway 217 interchange intersections. Is likely to require grade separation at the y' intersection of Nimbus Avenue/Scholls Ferry Road by the 2020 horizon. ~~pp ➢ RECOMMENDED Locust-to-Nimbus Over-Crossing of Highway 217(Sub-Area A) W Construct a regional level over-crossing of Highway 217 connecting Locust Street to Nimbus a Avenue. Includes ramp connections to Cascade Avenue and either an at-grade or grade separated crossing of the railroad tracks. Also, includes pedestrian and bicycle amenities extending, to Fanno Creek Bikeway. KlUckson & Associates, Inc. Pago 6 Was/tington Square Regkh-W Center Technical Memorandum June g5, 1999 Recommended Tiartsportatlorr Master plan Treatment Evaluation A form of this over-crossing has been identified in the Regional Transportation Plan. This over- crossing will form a vital element for east-west connectivity in the Regional Center, as well as providing regional connectivity and congestion relief on Hall Boulevard and Scholls Ferry Road (east of Nimbus Avenue). This plan recommends a two lane "major collector" over-crossing connecting to Greenburg Road at the existing Locust Street intersection at its eastern end, and a T intersection at its western end at Nimbus Avenue. Intermediate connections to the Mall and ramped connections to Cascade Avenue are also recommended. ' D RECON54ENDED Interchange Capacity Improvements on Highway 217 (Sub-Area A) Recommend that Highway 217 interchange capacity improvements at Hall Boulevard and Scholls Ferry Road be identified as significant needs in the upcoming Highway 217 Major Investment Study. Treatment Evaluation The Scholls Ferry Road/Highway 217 interchange and the Hall Boulevard/Highway 217 interchange both serve as gateways into the Washington Square Regional Center. Under existing conditions, both are extremely congested during the p.m. peak period and during other peak periods of retail and commercial activity. In order to facilitate access (existing and future) to and from the Regional Center, it is imperative that these interchanges be considered as critical points for relieving congestion along the Highway 217 corridor, and thus increasing access to the Washington Square Regional Center. D' RECOMMENDED (Component of forthcoming Highway 217 Major Investment Study) Highway 217 Parallel Roadway (Sub-Area C) Provide new access to Washington Square Mall via a roadway parallel to Highway 217 with a Hall Boulevard under/over-crossing. Hall Boulevard could remain a three-lane road from Highway 217 through Oleson Road. This treatment is mutually exclusive to -the Collector System on Oak, Lincoln, and Locust Streets. This treatment would likely be integrated into capacity improvements identified on Highway 217. Note that Hall Boulevard is currently planned to be a five-lane *facility from Scholls Ferry Road through Durham Road south of the Regional Center Study area. Maintaining Hall Boulevard as a three-lane facility would severely constrain the flow of traffic through the area. Treatment Evaluation A road parallel to Highway 217 in this area could be constructed as a frontage road or collector- distributor depending on the desired connectivity to adjacent land uses and the degree of congestion relief planned for Highway 217. This project would likely be integrated into the larger regional transportation system and should be identified as a possible congestion relief option to be tested in a the upcoming Highway 217 Major Investment Study.. RECOMMENDED (Component of forthcoming Highway 2l7 Major Investment Study) U' W a Lincoln Street Over-Crossing (Sub-Area C) Construct a Highway 217 over-crossing connecting Lincoln Street to Greenburg Road, including pedestrian and bicycle facilities. K/tte/son.& Assoc/ates, Inc.

The over-crossing could provide connectivity benefits for pedestrians and cyclists depending on the connections to the surrounding pedestrian/bicycle system. Y NOT RECOMMENDED Cascade Avenue Upgrade (Sub-Area D) Upgrade traffic carrying capacity of Cascade Avenue and develop with pedestrian and bicycle design amenities. Treatment Evaluation . Additional motor vehicle capacity is not needed on Cascade Avenue. Due to the close proximity, improvements to the Cascade AvenuelSehoils Ferry Road intersection should be considered integral to improvements at the Highway 217/Scholls Ferry Road interchange. A possible grade separation at the Cascade Avenue/Scholls Ferry Road intersection assists in relieving congestion on Scholls Ferry Road by reducing the effects of closely spaced signalized intersections: Connectivity within the Regional Center area is provided with ramp connections to both recommended over-crossings of Highway 217. This provides improved connectivity to the Mall, Greenburg Road and Locust Street, and aids in reducing congestion on both Hall Boulevard and Scholls Ferry Road. Pedestrian and bicycle amenities should be implemented on Cascade Avenue as surrounding land develops or redevelops. These improvement requirements should be incorporated into City of Beaverton planning documents. ➢ NOT RECOMMENDED -Capacity Improvements - RECOMMENDED - Intersection improvements at Scholls Ferry Road and ramp connections to proposed Highway 217 over-crossings (Component of forthcoming Highway 217 Major Investment Study) ➢ RECOMMENDED - Pedestrian and Bicycle amenities on Cascade Avenue. Cascade Avenue Realignment (Sub-Area D) Realign Cascade Avenue south to connect with the new Nimbus Avenue arterial. Eliminate the intersection of Cascade Avenue/Greenburg Road. Treatment Evaluation Most of the potential benefits of this realignment would be achieved by the Nimbus Avenue extension to Greenburg Road (the new arterial). Also, this treatment would impose a second major intersection on the new arterial without significant benefits in system capacity. Corridor benefits would be achieved on Greenburg Road by increasing the spacing of signalized intersections in proximity to the Highway 217 ramp intersections. ➢ NOT RECOMMENDED Ideulify Separate Parallel Bicycle Paths (i.e., Ash Creek) Identify potential bicycle network alignments with connections to existing bikeways, neighborhoods, and activity center. Specifically, extend the Fanno Creek Bikeway along Ash Creek. Kittelson & Associates, /rec. Pages a Washington Square ReglofW Center Technical Memorandum June 25, 1999 Reoo vnended Transportation M"terpan 2Watrnent Evaluation Provision of off-street parallel bike paths is included in Metro's Street Design Guidelines as an alternative bicycle treatment when roadway widths on high-volume streets preclude bicycle lanes. This is the case of most of the major .roadways and bridges in the study area. Therefore, such parallel facilities should be considered. Specifically, Metro's Regional Bicycle System Map shows the Fanno Creek Bikeway (as an ofd street multi-use path) extending from its current alignment to the south along Tiedeman Avenue. D RECONUdENDED ' Commuter Rail System Commuter rail service between Wilsonville and Beaverton on existing railroad right-of-way. Consider a station in the vicinity of Scholl Ferry Road. If implemented connect to regional center transportation system. This improvement is included in the Regional Transportation Plan process. Evaluation Considerable interest has been expressed regarding a potential commuter rail system serving Beaverton and Wilsonville. That project is being evaluated in a separate study and a specific recommendation is outside the scope of this study. However, if the-commuter service is implemented, it should be incorporated into the transportation system in the Washington Square Regional Center. People Mover Interest was expressed in a people mover system connecting the retail, recreational, residential and commercial areas of the Regional Center. Such a system could be above grade or at grade on a separate alignment or in shuttle buses on the recommended transportation system. If implemented, it should be incorporated into the transportation system in the Washington Square Regional Center.

Furthermore, the implementation of capacity improvements at the Highway 217 interchanges is critical to many elements of the motor -vehicle system improvements. The elements of the recommended Transportation Master Plan comprise an integrated system designed to serve the needs of regional as well as local travel, and to provide a balanced system for all travel modes. In several cases, the effectiveness of individual treatments would be reduced by the absence of other elements of the system. Therefore, the most complex elements of the recommended motor vehicle system were reviewed to determine the most effective phasing for the implementation of these elements. The recommended phasing is described below. This is followed by a similar discussion of the alternative travel mode treatments. Phasing of Key Motor Vehicle Treatments. 1. Early implementation of the Highway 217 over-crossing connecting Washington Square Mall to the Nimbus office developments will serve local traffic accessing-the Mall from the west, providing needed relief to the congested regional system. This will be a first step toward providing local connectivity within the Regional Center area and crossing the Highway 217 barrier. .2. The extension of Nimbus Avenue to Greenburg Road (Nimbus Avenue Extension) should be implemented after the Nimbus-Mall over-crossing. This treatment will relieve congestion on Hall Boulevard, and at the Scholls Ferry Road/Hall Boulevard intersection. Construction of this extension can be followed by construction of the Highway 217 over-crossing on the Locust Street alignment. 3. The Highway 217 over-crossing on the Locust Street alignment should be constructed after the Nimbus Avenue extension to Greenburg Road, to provide an additional east-west connection over Highway 217 and improve connectivity within the study area. Constructing the connection prior to the Nimbus Drive extension would sharply limit the effectiveness of this connection. 4. Development of the Collector System along Oak Street, Lincoln Street, and Locust Street should begin concurrent to the construction of the Locust-to-Nimbus Highway 217 over- crossing in order to accommodate associated traffic volumes. This stage should also include neighborhood traffic management in area. 5. The widening of Hall Boulevard to five lanes should follow construction of the Locust-to- Nimbus Highway 217 over-crossing and development of the Oak, Lincoln, Locust collector system. This will provide the opportunity to monitor changes in traffic associated with these and other system treatments. It is feasible that with development of the Nimbus Avenue extension and the new Highway 217 over-crossing, Hall Boulevard may not need to be widened within the study area. This however, is independent of other regional needs identified for Hall Boulevard. Kittelson A Associa res, lric. Pago 14 IN ill WastWngton Square Regional Center Technical Memorandum June 25, 1999 Recommended Transportadon Masterptan Implementation Pedestrian/Bicycle and Transift Treatments Several of the alternative mode treatments should be implemented as development occurs in. site specific areas. This requires ensuring that the preferred pedestrian and bicyclist amenities are included in the appropriate City codes and ordinances. In other cases, a proactive approach will be. required to see the alternative mode treatments to completion. Specifically, Nimbus Bus Service. This treatment has been identified by Tri-Met with a one-to;five year time frame. Tigard, Beaverton, and businesses likely to receive benefits from this service should work with Tri-Met to achieve implementation. Neighborhood Traffic Management measures should be implemented along Locust, Oak and Lincoln Streets to ensure a safe environment conducive to all neighborhood activities. Measures should be in place no later than opening day of the recommended Locust Street over-crossing. Traffic management measures could be developed and implemented as soon as possible. Pedestrian Crossing Treatments on Greenburg Road and Hall Boulevard should be evaluated to ensure safety as traffic volumes increase. Coordination (between ODOT and the City of Tigard), evaluation, design and implementation could begin as soon as possible. Sidewalk Construction on Hall Boulevard at Cascade Avenue. The existing gap in the sidewalk and over-grown vegetation are barriers to pedestrian circulation and hinder access to the sidewalks on the Hall Boulevard bridge over Highway 217. ODOT- could construct this sidewalk in the immediate term. Mall Area Street Development. In order to create a more pedestrian/bicycle-friendly environment within the commercial core of the Regional Center, the existing and future internal roadways (Eliander Lane, Washington Square Road, Palm Boulevard) should be improved to full street standards including pedestrian/bicycle and transit amenities. This requires ensuring that the preferred pedestrian and bicyclist amenities are included in the appropriate City codes and ordinances CONCLUSION The purpose of this transportation plan is to address the growing transportation needs in the Washington Square Regional Center in a manner consistent with Metro's Region 2040 concept for this area. The system improvements were designed to serve local and regional transportation demand for all travel modes. The recommended transportation system was developed with input from residents of surrounding neighborhoods, property owners, and developers, as well as representatives of public agencies. Following'this framework plan, more refinement and implementation will be necessary to apply more specifics to the recommendations (e.g. roadway alignments, location of sidewalks, connections to Fanno Creek Pathway). Tigard, Beaverton, Washington County and ODOT should begin coordinating objectives and policies. Further, strong recommendations and participation in the Highway 217 Major Investment Study and (lie Wilsonville-Beaverton Commuter Rail planning efforts (and other future transportation related projects in this corridor) will yield attention to the transportation issues related to the Washington Square Regional Center.

In the near term, implementing small-scale pedestrian and bicyclist projects as well as championing the Nimbus-Washington Square Mall.overcrossing and the Nimbus Arterial extension will, from a transportation perspective- begin the process of developing the Regional Center. Ultimately, the future transportation system must be a multi-modal system addressing regional and local travel demands within and to/from the Washington Square Regional Center. a i i a~ i 7 Kittelson& Associates, Inc. page 16 KITTELSON & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Date: June 25, 1999 Project: Washington Square Regional Center Project 2879 Subject: Transportation System Treatment Alternatives - Deliverable 2A _ INTRODUCTION This technical memorandum documents the findings of the future transportation system analyses for -the Washington Square Regional Center. Based on an evaluation of the future (year 2020) baseline transportation system, system deficiencies were identified and poteatiaLimprovements to the motor vehicle transportation system were developed and analyzed. An evaluation was also conducted of the transit, pedestrian, and bicycle systems in the Regional Center. Deficiencies were identified and improvements were developed to support alternative mode travel demand. MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM The analysis of the motor vehicle transportation system includes analysis of a future (2020) baseline transportation network to estimate the future travel demands and associated congestion points within the study area. Improvement elements were then identified to treat specific problem areas and then integrated into three alternative system improvement concepts. Analysis Period and Evaluation Criteria Metro has recently moved from a one-hour peak assignment to a two-hour peak assignment. This two-hour assignment is representative of the average operating condition during the two highest hours during the p.m. period. This change in methodology was introduced in an attempt to simulate peak demand spreading over.a two-hour period, due to the future transportation demands of the region. Metro has identified evaluation criteria that recommend deficiency thresholds that describe operating standards for use with this two-liour peak assignment. These criteria use link based volume to capacity ratios to categorize operation into categories of "Ideal Conditions", "Preferred Operating Standard", "Acceptable Operating Standard", "Unacceptable Operating Standard", and "Grossly Unacceptable". . 4 Washington Square Regknat Center . PAYOct: 287.9 Transportation System TreatrnentAtterna6ves Page. 2 June 25 1999 Different deficiency thresholds have been established dependent oa the location of the roadway . facility by surrounding land use type. This study focuses on the Washington Square area being designated as a "Regional Center" under Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan. The relevant deficiency thresholds and operating standards are described in Table 1. These standards have been adopted for use in this study. Table I Motor Vehicle Level of Service Deficiency Thresholds and Operating Standards (Two-hour p.m. peak average) Location by Land Ideal Preferred Acceptable Operating Unacceptable Grossly Use Design Type Conditions Operating Standards Operating Unacceptable Standards (Approaching Standard (Exceeds Deficiency Deficiency Threshold) Threshold) In Central City, 2 hour V hour at LOS 1` hour at LOS F; 2 V hour at LOS F; 2 hour average Regional Centers, average is E; 2nd hour at hour at LOS E; (2 2"d hour at LOS F; is worse than Town Centers, LOS D or LOS E; (2 hour hour average is 0.96 (2 hour average is LOS F (greater Main Streets, and better (0.90 average is 0.90 (0 1.00) 1.01 to 1.T0)' than 1.10)• Station or less) to 0.95) Communities * Dcmand/capacity of greater than 1.0 (during two-hour p.m. peak) will start to spread the peak into a third hour, however, some drivers will choose slow out of direction alternative routes to avoid the high level of congestion. Future Baseline Transportation Network An initial network assignment was performed to provide-on estimate of the future travel demands and associated congestion points within the study, prior to specific improvements due to the regional center concept. Network Description The baseline 2020 transportation network was developed by reviewing and revising Metro's regional travel demand model transportation network that is under development for the current Regional Transportation Plan Update. Planned transportation network improvements in the Washington Square Regional Center area and on the surrounding transportation system were identified and incorporated into the baseline future transportation network. The baseline transportation network system improvements included pedestrian and bicycle projects, transit projects and roadway improvement projects. Figures I and 2 summarize the roadway system improvements by comparing the existing transportation network to the Baseline future transportation network. in summary the major improvements in the baseline future transportation network included: Transit rinproventents • Peak Hour Commuter Rail Service from Wilsonville to Beaverton • Bus Service from Washington Square Regional Center to Lewis & Clark College • Bus Service from Cedar Mill Town Center to Washington Square Regional Center • Bus Service from Washington Square Regional Center to Jantzen Beach • Bus Service from Sunset Transit Center to Washington Square Regional Center highway Systetn Improvenients • Highway 217 - additional capacity between 1-5 and US 26 (six lanes assumed) • I lighway 217 ramp metering, and Advanced Traffic Management Systems Kiltolson & /Associates, Ana.

In addition to the future improvements described above, a number of pedestrian and bicycle improvements' have been identified by Metro for the study area. These-improvements are not included in the adopted transportation network, however this will not significantly effect results of the transportation model assignments, as information from Metro indicates that the overall mode splits with these improvements do not significantly vary from those reported for the adopted network. The proposed future pedestrian and bicycle improvements include: • Oleson Road bike lanes, sidewalks, lighting, crossings, bus shelters and benches between Fanno Creek and Hall Boulevard • Sidewalk, lighting, crossing, bus shelter and bench improvements for Scholls Ferry Road, Hall Boulevard, Greenburg Road, Oleson Road, Cascade Avenue and neighborhood streets • Sidewalk, lighting, crossings, bus shelter and bench improvements for Scholls Ferry Road between Beaverton-Hillsdale Road and Hall Boulevard • Hall Boulevard bikeway, sidewalk, and pedestrian crossing improvements between Oak Street and Highway 99W. Existing and Future Traffic Volumes A Baseline 2020 two-hour p.m. peak period vehicular travel demand forecast was obtained from Metro. This forecast assigned the trips generated by the Regional Center land uses (adopted by 4 Tigard and Metro as part of the 2040 Functional Plan process)` to the adopted Baseline 2020 H H r The land use forecasts form the basis for the trip end estimation process in the transportation model. The 2020 land use H forecast and trip generation estimates are based on Metro targets for the Regional Center. Therefore it would be -4 theoretically correct to modify the land use characteristics to reflect the specific Regional Center concept being developed by this project. However, the regional transportation model is limited in its ability to focus on a relatively small area such as this study arc.. Metro advised that unless trip generation levels varied by more than 10% under the specific Regional Center concept, then a full land use estimation calculation would not produce significant differences in the trip generating behavior of the model. The land use changes proposed under the specific Regional Center concept produced a decrease in total trip generation estimates of 9.8% for TAZ's within the study area. The existing 2020 trip table' was therefore conservatively adopted for use in this assessment. This allows a consistent comparison of the puibrmancc of the alternative transportation systems with the future baseline assignment. Kltte/son A Assoclates, Inc. Port/and, Oregon Washington Square Reglonal Center PRYeot: 2879 Transportadon System TreatmentAtte:madves Page: 4 June 25, 1999 Transportation Network. Metro also provided a 1994 two-hour p.m. peak vehicular travel demand forecast. Figure 3 shows the 1994 forecast and Figure 4 shows the 2020 forecast, respectively. The 2020 forecast included an applied mode split of- 0 5% pedestrian/bicycle • 4% transit • 65% single occupant vehicle • 26% high occupancy vehicle (which yields an average auto occupancy of 1.17 passengers per vehicle) Comparing Figures 3 and 4 shows that there is significant traffic growth forecast on regional and local streets in the study area, in particular on the following corridors: • Hall Boulevard • L-crust Street • Greenburg Road • Oleson Road • Taylors Ferry Road (due to the future connection to Oleson Road) Existing and Future Traffic Congestion Based the assigned volume to capacity ratio calculations, and Metro's two-hour peak deficiency thresholds, Figures 5 and 6 show the 1994 and 2020 forecast two-hour p.m. peak period areas of unacceptable and grossly unacceptable operation. Comparing the two figures shows 'that, as compared to Metro's 1994 analysis, there will be a significant growth in congestion in the study area. Figure 6 shows that during the future two-hour p.m. peak period, there will be unacceptable or grossly unacceptable vehicular operating conditions on: • Hall Boulevard west of Scholls Ferry Road, • Oleson Road north of Hall Boulevard, • SchollsTerry Road south-west of Highway 217, and • Cascade Boulevard north and south of Scholls Ferry Road. Travel Demand Analysis Travel demand patterns were evaluated using select link analyses from Metro's travel demand model. For pre-selected roadway segments (links), the select link analyses show how many vehicles are traveling on the roadway segment during the two-hour p.m. peak period, where the vehicles originate from, to cross the road segment, and where the vehicles travel to, after crossing the road segment. Results of these select link analyses are reported in Appendix B. Results from these travel pattern analyses show: • There is significant demand for travel along Hall Boulevard from south of Highway 217 to west of Highway 217 toward Beaverton; • Thcre is also significant demand for travel between Oleson Road north of Ilall Boulevard and Ilall Boulevard west of Highway 217 toward Beaverton; Kittelson & Assoclates, Inc. Portland, Orcryon Washington Square Regional 0 rtter Pr+?Iect: 2679 Transpottadon System TmatrnentA/tematlves Page. 5 June 25,-1W9 • The Washington Square Mall generates a significant number of trips into and out of the regional center area in all directions. Travel through Hall Boulevard/Scholls Ferry Road to the west is high; and • The majority of vehicles on Highway 217 are traveling through the study area; however on Highway 217 between Scholls Ferry Road and Greenburg Road there is a high exchange of vehicle trips indicating that motorists might be using Highway 217 for local instead of regional trips. . These results indicate that congestion within the Washington Square Regional Center study area is produced by competing demands between two different transportation needs. Regional transportation demands direct traffic through the study area on Highway 217, Hall Boulevard, Scholls Ferry Road, Greenburg Road and Oleson Road. Competing with this through traffic demand are local access and connectivity needs of the Washington Square Mall, the Nimbus Avenue commercial precinct, the Lincoln Center, and the Metzger residential area. The regional transportation demands are generally summarized on Figure 7. Limited alternatives exist to serve these regional demands, which focuses trips onto a limited number of corridors. These same corridors are the primary access points for the Washington Square Mall and other non-retail employment centers. Future Transportation System Alternatives Alternatives Development In attempting to find solutions to the predicted future congestion within the study area, it is important to address the significance of the regional and local transportation demands. By addressing these general demands individually, and testing specific improvements designed to cater for, and separate these demands, it is possible to develop a set of improvements to relieve particular aspects of future congestion within the study area. Using this methodology of alternative concept development, a series of three alternative future transportation systems were developed and tested using the Metro emmel2 model. As a general summary of the performance of these alternatives, Tables 2a - 2d summarize the key features of each of the alternatives, as well as the benefits that each provides to critical corridors and intersections within the study area. Potential environmental impacts that each alternative may cause are broadly identified. Each of the three alternatives is described and discussed in detail in the following sections. Alternative "A" General Description This alternative was designed to test the effect of a series of regionally significant transportation system improvements, which either provided alternate routes through the area for regional traffic, or improved the capacity of existing congested corridors. Ittolson a Assoclatcs, Inc. Portland Oregon WasWngton Square Reglona/Center PnYect: 2879 Tranaportabron System Trea&nentAttemadves page. is June 25, 1999 The specific improvements tested include: a Alternate northbound Highway 217 ramp arrangement at Hall Boulevard. New over-crossing of Highway 217 from Locust Street New corridor connecting Greenburg Road south of Highway 217, to Hall Boulevard west of the existing Nimbus Avenue intersection. These improvements are shown conceptually on Figure 8. Details of Proposed Improvements Highway 217 Ramp Arrangement This concept rearranged the existing northbound ramp configuration to Highway 217 at Fall Boulevard. The existing ramp connects Scholls Ferry Road, south of Hall Boulevard, to the northbound travel lanes of Highway 217. This forces all traffic accessing Highway 217 northbound to use Scholls Ferry Road. An alternative form was developed to replace the existing northbound ramp from Scholls Ferry Road. This included a loop ramp connecting Hall Boulevard eastbound to Highway 217 northbound. In conjunction with this loop ramp, an additional ramp connecting Hall Boulevard westbound to Highway 217 northbound was proposed. Both ramps meet on a frontage road that connects to Highway 217 at a single metered ramp terminal north of the-Hall Boulevard over-crossing. The Hall Boulevard termini of both ramps would be located west of the Hall Boulevard intersection with Scholls Ferry Road. Greenburg Road - Hall Boulevard Connection This connection is proposed to allow an alternate route for travel demand presently on Hall Boulevard, between areas to the northwest and areas to the southeast. By providing this alternate route the aim is to relieve congestion on Hall Boulevard, in particular at the Scholls Ferry Road/Hall Boulevard intersection. A general two-lane connection is proposed, with a design speed of 35rnph. Widening at intersections would be required to accommodate turn lanes. Figure 8 shows the general alignment. At its northern end, the facility would intersect with Hall Boulevard west of the existing Nimbus Avenue intersection. The facility's intersection with Scholls Ferry Road would be combined with the existing Scholls Ferry Road/Nimbus Avenue. At its southern end, this new corridor would make a four-way intersection with the existing Greenburg Road/ Tiedeman Avenue intersection. Locust Street Over-crossing of ighway 217 A form of this over-crossing has been identified in the RTP, and based on the future baseline analysis, the demand for a connection of this type exists. This link will provide an additional cast- west connection over Highway 217, providing increased connectivity and cast west capacity within the study area. As a regional level connection, the alignment of the link is proposed to meet the existing Lecusl Strect/Grecrtburg Road intersection and then proceed on a direct path over Highway 217 and Cascade Avenue, and then meet the new proposed Greenburg - liall Boulevard connection.

A ramp is proposed between this over-crossing and Cascade Avenue. Neighborhood Circulation Roadway To serve potential future development east of Greenburg Road, the concept for a new circulating roadway was developed. This roadway would connect to Greenburg Road, south of Highway 217, making a four-way intersection with Cascade Avenue at Greenburg Road. The proposed roadway then crosses over Highway 217, between Greenburg Road and Hall Boulevard, before continuing north to meet Locust Street, between Greenburg Road and Hall Boulevard. Volume to Capacity Analysis The volume to capacity ratios. for the study area are shown in Figure 9. Compared to the baseline future transportation analysis, corridor congestion on Cascade Avenue, south of'Scholls Ferry Road is reduced. This is due to the Hall Boulevard - Greenburg Road connection, which shifts traffic further west to access areas to the west using Scholls Ferry Road. The volume to capacity ratios show that congestion is increased in the vicinity of the Hall Boulevard/Scholls Ferry Road intersection. Link Volumes and Intersection Performance The assigned traffic volumes for this alternative are shown in Figure 10. Appendix C contains the select link analysis plots. The impact due to these improvements at the main points of interest within the study area are summarized in Tables 2a - 2d. The most significant of the improvements in these tables is the 30% reduction in volume of Scholls Ferry Road, west of Cascade Avenue. This was reflected in the volume to capacity ratio discussed above. The section of Hall Boulevard between Oleson Road and Locust Street shows a 12% reduction from the base forecast. This is a direct result of the new Hall Boulevard - Greenburg Road connection, and the high-standard Locust Street over-crossing. This connection can therefore be seen to provide congestion relief, in particular on Hall Boulevard. In combination with the Locust Street over- crossing, it provides an alternate connection between both Hall Boulevard and Scholl Ferry Road to i the west, and areas to the south and east of Highway 217. The benefits 'of this new connection are not obvious in all areas of the network. The select link analyses revealed a general decrease in volumes in Hall Boulevard on all sections cast of the new corridor. However, latent demands in the congested system caused a redistribution of trips to fill this newly available capacity. This was particularly evident on Hall Boulevard between Scholls Ferry Road and Oleson Road. As can be seen from the volumes in figure 10, the Hall Boulevard -Greenburg Road connection will carry two way volumes ranging between 1,200 and 4,500 vehicles during the two liour peak period. /Clttelson & Assoclales, Inc.

The level of demand at this location introduces significant northbound left taming volumes to the intersection at Scholls Ferry Road. These left turning volumes are likely to be difficult to accommodate using an at grade intersection when opposed by the projected volumes on Scholls Ferry Road. The increased standard of the Locust Street over-crossing from the future base, transportation network does not impact significantly on volumes on Locust Street between Greenburg Road and Hall Boulevard in the peak period. Due to the regionally significant trip generation of the Washington Square Mali, and the demand between the Mall and northbound Highway 217, the proposed rearrangement of the Highway 217/Hall Boulevard ramps did not provide benefits to the system. In particular, the new arrangement resulted in the addition of a further 1,000 northbound right turning vehicles to the already over- saturated intersection, which cannot reasonably be accommodated using an at grade intersection. Other than the discussed improvements at the Scholls Ferry Road/Cascade Avenue intersection, only the Hall Boulevard/Nimbus Avenue intersection is benefited by the proposed improvements. Again, this is due to the proposed Hail Boulevard - Greenburg Road connection. Alternative "B" General Description This alternative was developed to test the effect of a series of locally significant transportation system improvements, which primarily provided alternate connections for Washington Square Mall traffic to access the regional transportation network. It was expected that this may assist in reducing F +icted congestion on critical regionally significant locations in the study area, particularly Hall Boulevard. Key components of Alternative "B" include: • Highway 217 over-crossing from Washington Square Mall to Nimbus Avenue • Highway 217 over-crossing from Locust Street to Nimbus Avenue • Neighborhood circulation roadway The tested improvements are shown in concept form on Figure 11. Details of.Proposed Improvements Highway 217 Over-crossing jroin Washington Square A local connection from the nortlieastern area of the Washington Square Mall was proposed to connect the Mall to Cascade Avenue. This connection would provide twofold benefits to the existing transportation system. I( would provide a local connection between the Mall and the commercial districts on Nimbus and Cascade Avenues. In addition it provides an alternate route for trips both in and out of the Mall to access both hall Boulevard west of Highway 217, and ScItiuIIS Derry Itoad, K/tte/sons Associates, ttic. h;)lYL'JIJf~ OYC^QfJ WasNngton Square Reglonal Center PnVeot 2879 TrensnorWtbn System TreatmentAltematrves Page: 9 June 25 ' 1999 west of Highway 217. This alt6ws the bypass of bath the congested Hall Boulevard/Scholls Ferry Road intersection, and the Scholls Ferry Road/Highway 217 interchange ramp intersections. These are the primary congestion points in both the existing and future transportation system in the area, and any relief obtained from diverting Mall traffic from these intersections will be beneficial to their operation. Highway 217 Over-crossing from Locust Street alignment Another local level over-crossing of Highway 217 was proposed to connect the Mall to Cascade Avenue south of Scholls Ferry Road. This would allow diversion of traffic from existing congested intersections on Scholls Ferry Road. As shown on Figure 11, by design this connection would be made in a manner that reduces the level of through traffic that uses it. While it would still be physically possible to. travel from Locust Street or Greenburg Road to Cascade Avenue via this connection, the intent for the link is to primarily serve Mall generated traffic demands. Neighborhood Circulation Roadway As a modification to the form of this roadway tested in Alternative "A", this circulating roadway would connect directly to Grecnburg Road, north of Highway 217. A connection was then proposed from this intersection with Greenburg Road directly to the Mall. Volume to Capacity Analysis With the proposed improvements in place, several locations of congestion still remain in the network. These can be seen from the reported volume to capacity ratios in Figure 12. Notable locations include: • Hall Boulevard westbound, west of Scholls Ferry Road. • Oleson Road, north of Hall Boulevard. • Scholls Ferry Road westbound, east and west of Nimbus Avenue. • Greenburg Road, south of Cascade Avenue. • New Loop Connection - between the Locust Street over-crossing and Greenburg Road. Compared to the Base Network, locations where congestion is reduced by these improvements include: • Cascade Avenue, north of Scholls Ferry Road. • Minor Improvements on Hall Boulevard. Link Volumes and Intersection Performance The assigned traffic volumes for this alternative are shown in Figure 13. Appendix D contains the select link analysis plots. The impact due to these improvements at the main points of interest within the study area are summarized 'in Tables 2a - 2d. The most significant of these impacts is shown on Hall Boulevard between Locust Street and Oleson Road, where a reduction of 20% of total trips on this link was observed. This is associated with a major redistribution of traffic within the system caused by the new link between Grecnburg [toad and (tic Washington Square Mall (western end of the Neighborhood Circulation Roadway). The Alternative B volume plot shows 4,000 vehicles in the two-hour peak period on this link, all of which are diverted from either [Jail Boulevard, or Greenburg [toad north of the new connection. Immediately south of this new connection, volumes on Greenburg Road increase around 500 vehicles. As can be seen by the volume to capacity ratios, this Kittelson & Associates, If 1c. Portland, Orcgon V t%ashIngtOn Square RegANW Center Pm l0 cr 2879 Trans Portauon System Trea&nent Afterrratl'ves Page: to June 25 1999 redistribution will not significantly impact either Greenburg Road or Tiedeman Avenue South of Highway 217. The select link analysis for the proposed over-crossing between the Mall and Nimbus Avenue, shows a diversion of regional trips of around 1,000 vehicles in the two hour period, from Hall Boulevard and Oleson Road, onto the new over-crossing. These trips are headed either.to Nimbus Avenue, or to . westbound Scholls Ferry Road. This diversion was the major component of volumes on the new over-crossing (57%), which highlights the degree of congestion that exists at the Scholls Ferry Road/Hall Boulevard intersection. The Mall over-crossing did not therefore capture Mall generated trips to and from areas to the west of Highway 217 as had been anticipated. Out of 5,000 to 6,000 vehicle trips from the Mall that could potentially use this connection, only around 10% did so. The vast majority of westbound Mall generated trips therefore continued to travel through the Scholls Ferry Road/Hall Boulevard intersection in spite of the predicted congestion levels. In this system, the Locust Street over-crossing carries 1,900 vehicles, an_ increase of some 350 vehicles from the Base condition. The Mail generates 50% of the trips on this link. None of the intersections within the study area were significantly effected by the system changes introduced in this alternative. A/temative "C" General Description Alternative C was developed to relieve congestion on SW Locust Street and SW Hall Boulevard east of the Washington Square Mall by providing a new roadway connection to the Washington Square Mall from SW Hall Boulevard. Figure 14 graphically depicts the proposed new link under Alternative C. Details of Proposed Improvements The new roadway would be a three-lane, 35-mph facility parallel to Highway 217 between Hall Boulevard and Washington Square Mall. The roadway would connect to Hall Boulevard at a signalized T-intersection north of Highway 217. The roadway would terminate at the Washington Square Mall without any intermediate automobile access. A grade separation would be constructed at SW Greenburg Road. Bike lanes and sidewalks . would be provided on both sides. i i Volume-to-Capacity Analysis Figure IS shows the volume-to-capacity ratios under Alternative C. The most significant impact with respect to volume-to-capacity ratios is evident on Hall Boulevard near the intersection with the -4 proposed connecting link. The volume-to-capacity ratios on Hall Boulevard deteriorate on either side of ilighway 217. However, directly north of (lie new connection, conditions improve considerably. Plots of the select link analysis are provided in Appendix G. On Locust Street, volume-to-capacity ratios improve in both directions, but were already within "ideal" operating range. Ilowever, given the residential area and polenlial pedestrian/bike route on this street, reduced volumes are of more significance than indicated by impact on traffic conditions.

Washington Square Regions/ Center PAYect•2879 Tnvuportnbbn System Tiea&nentol/temaUWS Page: 11 June 25,• 1999 The volume-to-capacity ratio on SW Greenburg Road westbound from Highway 99W shows improvement from 1.04 (unacceptable) to 0.97 (acceptable). A slight increase in the volume-to-capacity ratio is shown on Pfaffle Street. However, conditions remain within the "ideal conditions" range. Link Volumes and Intersection Performance The assigned traffic -volumes under this alternative are shown in Figure 16. The proposed new link between Hall Boulevard and Washington Square Mall provides access from the south and east. Figure 15 shows a reduction in traffic volumes on Greenburg Road near Highway 217,'and on SW Hall Boulevard north of the new connection. Traffic volumes are shown to increase south and east of the Mall, including on SW Hall south of the new roadway, as well as on Pfaffle Street. Select link analysis shows that approximately 70% of the traffic served by the new facility is from the south on Hall Boulevard and from Highway 99W. Approximately 20 to 30% is from Pfaffle Street, and a small portion (9% from, 2% to) is from Locust Street. In the base case, approximately 55% of traffic on Locust Street was through traffic traveling between Hall Boulevard and west of Highway 217. The addition of the new facility reduced overall volumes on Locust Street, with an associated increase in the share of through traffic to approximately 72°/a. The proposed connection diverts significant traffic volumes from Hall Boulevard and reduces the need for widening Hall Boulevard to five lanes between the new connection and Oleson Road.

An evaluation of existing transit service, bicyclelpedestrian. facilities, and area connectivity, and, improvements to support alternative mode accessibility to, from, and within the study area. Existing Facilities A review of existing alternative transportation facilities was conducted. Specifically, transit service and pedestrian/bicycle facilities' were inventoried with respect to the extent of facilities provided relative to design and policy guidelines, general system deficiencies, and specific gaps in connectivity. Also, a general review of neighborhood connections within the study area is provided. A summary of the findings is provided below. A more detailed inventory of alternative mode connections in the study area is provided in Appendix F. Existing Transit Service - Figure 17 depicts the existing transit service provided within the study area. Transit access to Washington Square Transit Center is available from the downtown Portland Transit Center, Tigard Transit Center (via Route 43), Beaverton Transit Center (located near the Hall Boulevardfrualatin- Valley Highway intersection), Lake Oswego Transit Center (located in downtown Lake Oswego), and the Tualatin area (Meridian Park Hospital). Routes 43, 45, 56, and 62 operate at intervals of 20- 30 minutes during weekday peak periods. On routes 76 and 78, peak period headways are 20 minutes. Transit routes and service frequency are listed in Appendix F. Two key transit system deficiencies identified in the study area are the lack of transit service on SW Nimbus Avenue between SW Hall Boulevard and SW Scholls Ferry Road, and the lack of a covered walkway between Washington Square Mall and the Transit Center. As previously noted, Tri-Met's Transit Choices for Livability project identified transit service on SW Nimbus Avenue as well as improved amenities at transit stops as needed improvements. Existing Bicycle Facilities Striped bicycle lanes along study area roadways were identified and are shown in Figure 18. As the figure shows, bicycle lanes are provided on both sides of SW Scholls Ferry Road throughout the study area, including the Highway 217 bridge. SW Hall Boulevard and SW Greenburg Road are partially striped for bicycles. The bicycle lanes on Scholls Ferry -Road and Hall Boulevard provide access to the six bus routes in the study area and to the Washington Square Transit Center. Bicycle locking amenities are provided at Washington Square Mall, including at the Transit Center. Specific deficiencies related to bicycle connectivity in the study area include the following: Inadequate crossing opportunities are provided over Highway 217. The only designated bicycle crossing over Highway 217 is on SW Scholls Ferry Road, where high speed and high volume motor vehicle traffic limit safety and comfort to bicyclists. O No striped bicycle lanes are provided on SW 1-lall Boulevard west of Scholls Ferry Road or south of SW Pfaffle Street. 6 Most of SW Greenburg and SW Oleson Roads are without striped bike lanes. Like lanes are provided only along the cast side of SW Grcenburg [toad south of Highway 217. K/tte/son 6 Assoc/gyres, Inc. Portland, Oregon Washington Square Reglona/ Center PAYect: 2879 Tnu&VwWtk;n System Treatment A/tema&,es Page. 14 June 25, 1999 • Within the Washington Square circulating roadways, there are no striped bicycle lanes leading to the transit center. Existing Pedestrian Facilities Figure 19 shows the existing sidewalks in the study area. Most of the major roadways provide at least partial sidewalks and sidewalks are provided along the Highway 217 bridges 'on SW Hall Boulevard near Cascade Avenue (south side only), SW Greenburg Road, and on SW Hall Boulevard near SW Pfaflle Street. However, frequent gaps in the sidewalks hinder pedestrian t;irculation. As Figure 19 phows, gaps exist in the sidewalks on each of the major study roadways. Also, safe pedestrian crossing opportunities are limited in. some parts of the study area. Pedestrian treatments within Washington Square Mall are minimal. Key deficiencies in the pedestrian system include: • Sidewalks are not provided on SW Scholls Ferry Road between SW Cascade Avenue and SW Washington Square Road. - • Sidewalks are not provided along the west side of SW Greenburg Road adjacent to the Washington Square Mall. • Sidewalks along SW Hall Boulevard east of SW Greenburg Road-SW Oleson Road have frequent interruptions. • On SW Hall Boulevard near the P&W railroad tracks, a gap in the sidewalk and overgrown vegetation hinder pedestrian access to the Highway 217 bridge. • There is no sidewalk on SW Hall Boulevard leading to the_Highway 217 bridge near Pfaffle Street, although sidewalks are provided on the bridge. • No walkways are provided on SW Scholls Ferry Road over-crossing of Highway 217. • No pedestrian crossing treatments are provided along SW Greenburg Road between SW Locust Street and SW Hall Boulevard, a distance of nearly one-half mile. • No pedestrian crossing treatments are provided on SW Hall Boulevard south of Oak Street, hindering pedestrian access to the Highway 217 crossing at SW Pfaffle Street. • Minimal sidewalk connections are provided into Washington Square Mall. Sidewalks provided from SW Hall Boulevard (along SW Eliander Lane) have gaps on both sides of the street. A sidewalk is continued along the east-west street south of the Target store *(one side only) but stops adjacent to the Transit Center. A sidewalk is provided on SW Washington Square Road from S W Greenburg Road but stops prior to the main shopping area. • Inadequate formal pedestrian facilities are provided between retail services within the study area. Several locations within the Washington Square Mall show pedestrian paths worn in the landscaped areas. Existing Neighborhood Connections Neighborhood connections within the study area were reviewed with respect to Metro's intersection spacing guidelines, as well as system connections between neighborhoods and Washington Square Mall. A significant connectivity gap exists between the Nimbus Avenue business developments and Washington Square Mall due to limited opportunities for crossing Highway 217. Sidewalks are provided on SW Hall Boulevard only, while bicycle lanes are provided oidy on SW Scholls Ferry road. "Transit connections can be made on either SW Hall Boulevard or SW Scholls Ferry K/lle/son & Associates, /ne. /'orY/and, OiecJon WasNrgtoa Square Reglonal Center FVWect 2879 Transporwtbn System TreatmentA/temabves Page. 15 June 25, `1999 Road. (Note: SW Hall Boulevard and-SW Scholls Ferry Road are separated by an approximate distance of 600 feet along Nimbus Avenue). Sidewalks and bicycle lanes are not provided on most of the streets within the Metzger residential neighborhood. Additionally, the intersection spacing tends to be higher than the design guidelines for new residential developments. However, vehicle traffic is not high enough too hinder the safety and comfort of pedestrians and bicycles. The approximate grid layout of the streets in the neighborhood provides relatively direct access for most locations within the neighborhood. However, protected crossing opportunities are limited on SW Hall Boulevard and on SW Greenburg Road east of Washington Square Mall. The limited crossing opportunities, coupled with frequent gaps in the sidewalks and bicycle lanes constrain bicycle and pedestrian connectivity from the neighborhood to other areas within the . regional center area. a Residential streets off of SW Pfaffle Street have no direct connections to the north, requiring out- of-direction travel to access Washington Square Mall. Also, the street system layout within the Progress neighborhood (north of the mall, off of SW Scholls Ferry Road) includes an internal closed loop (SW Crestwood Court) requires out-of-direction travel for trips to the south. Alternative Travel Mode System Improvements The specific improvements identified for the study area were grouped into two categories: 1) improving system links in the existing multi-modal transportatica-Rtetwork; and 2) providing new neighborhood connections within the study area. These improvements are described below and are depicted in Figure 20. Improvements to Existing System Links Several major roadways in the study area are intended to provide 'a balanced multi-modal travel function, and as such should provide designated pedestrian and bicycle accessways consistent with Metro's guidelines for street design. Several deficiencies were identified in the alternative mode travel network within the study area. In general, as development and roadway improvements occur on SW Hall Boulevard, SW Scholls Ferry Road, SW Oleson Road, and SW Greenburg Road, sidewalks and bicycle lanes should be provided along roadways and over bridges. Any new arterials and collectors that may be constructed within the study area should also provide sidewalks and bicycle lanes. Where roadway width is insufficient to provide bike lanes, Metro policy allows that a wide outside lane is acceptable if average daily traffic (ADT) is 10,000 to 20,000. If ADT exceeds 20,000 and roadway width is insufficient to provide bike lanes, a parallel bikeway should be developed (Reference 6). Also, transit service should be provided along Nimbus Avenue connecting employees in the area to SW Hall Boulevard and SW Scholls Ferry Road, consistent with Tri-Met's Transit Choices for Livability plan. Kittelson 6 Assoolates, Inc. Port/and, Oregon WasWnglon Square Regional Center Pml--ct• 2879 Trnnsp0rWb0n System TrvatmentAitematives page.- 16 June 25 1999 Other potential improvements to the systems for alternative travel modes are as follows: • Complete the sidewalk on the north side of SW Hall Boulevard near Cascade Avenue and Highway 217 bridge. Since sidewalks over Highway 217 are provided only on the south side of SW Hall Boulevard, filling this sidewalk gap will permit pedestrians on the Korth side of SW Hall Boulevard to safely access the south side of Hall Boulevard via the pedestrian crossing signal at Cascade Avenue. Complete sidewalks on SW Hall Boulevard east of SW Oleson Road-SW Greenburg Road through SW Pfaflle Street. Significant gaps exist on the east approach to SW Oleson Road-SW Greenburg Road, and again along the north/south portion of the roadway. Another significant gap exists north of SW Pfaffle Street and the Highway 217 bridge, although pedestrian facilities are provided on the bridge itself. • Provide sidewalks on the west side of SW Greenburg Road adjacent to Washington Square Mall. • Provide pedestrian and bicycle facilities on SW Cascade Avenue as development in the area occurs. Improved Neighborhood Connections Eastside Designated Pedestrian/Bicycle Route Opportunities to provide a designated pedestrian/bicycle connection to Washington Square Mall from residential neighborhoods east of SW Greenburg Road were evaluated. Potential routes were considered along SW Locust Street and SW Oak Street. The SW Oak Street intersection with SW Greenburg Road is-located approximately ISO feet from the Highway 217 northbound ramps. Therefore, designation of SW Oak Street as a pedestrian! bicycle route would introduce a high potential for conflicts between motor vehicle and pedestrian/bicycle traffic. Oak Street could be realigned to provide adequate distance from the freeway ramps, but would result in considerable expense and disruption to adjacent properties. SW Locust Street is more centrally located than SW Oak Street relative to the residential neighborhoods, and offers a natural transition area between the residential neighborhood' to the north and business developments to the south. For these reasons, SW Locust Street is proposed for a designated pedestriar/bicycle route. SW Locust Street should be designated as a -Community StreEt. The following site-specific improvements were developed as supplemental pedestriantbicycle improvements to the SW Locust Street pedestrian/bicycle route. However, they would also provide effective improvements as individual treatments: • Provide a raised pedestrian refuge on SW Greenburg Road at the north edge of the cemetery, providing a safe mid-block crossing opportunity and access from the Metzger neighborhood. • . Provide.a raised pedestrian refuge on SW Hall Boulevard at SW Spruce Street, reducing the distance between pedestrian crossing treatments. • Realign SW 90"' Avenue for a more continuous north/south route and easier crossing of Locust Street. Traffic calming treatments on SW Locust Street should be considered to improve this location for neighbors, including children accessing the elementary school. Washington Square Internal Access Improvements Several gaps were identified between Washington Square Mall and other commercial estahlishnicnts bounded by the major study roadways. For instance, there is no direct connection between (he 'T'arget Kltte/son Assoc/ates, Inc. Port/:rnd, Orv,ryon ==INN IN IN :Iliili Washington Square Regional Center P~c~Ject 2879 Tiansportadon System Trea&nent AJtema&ves Page: 17 June 25, 1999 and the mall, so that any access between the two properties requires significant out-of-direction travel. Also, several locations within the Washington Square Mall show pedestrian paths worn in the landscaped areas. Specific connectivity improvements were identified within the commercial core: e Improve SW Eliander Lane, SW Washington Square Road, SW Palm Boulevard and the roadway bounding the Cemetery to full street standards, including sidewalks and bicycle lanes. This will enhance pedestrian/bicycle circulation among the key activities in the area. Pedestrian treatments, such as raised pedestrian refuges and designated walkways, should also be provided to create safe crossing opportunities from the roadways to the mall. o Improve amenities at the Washington Square Mali Transit Center, including a covered pedestrian path to the Mall, consistent with Tri-Met's Transit Choices for Livability plan. a Currently, all motor vehicle access to the Target/Good-Guys development north of Washington Square Mall must be made via Hall Boulevard. New driveways with sidewalks should be provided on Eliander Street and Palm Boulevard, providing multi-modal connections between the two retail locations. a If redevelopment of the Target store takes place in future, a secondary store-front orientation should be encouraged facing the south and a pedestrian stairwell or pedestrian/bicycle path should be provided to access Washington Square Mall. Wesiside Boulevard Classification SW Cascade Avenue between SW Hall. Boulevard and SW Greenburg Road should receive the Boulevard classification, providing continuity of design and accessibility throughout the regional center. Significant portions of SW Hall Boulevard and SW Greenburg Road are dlassified as Regional Boulevards, which are designated to provide special amenities that promote pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation travel. However, without this classification change on SW Cascade Avenue, there is not a comparable connecting facility designation west of Highway 217. Bicycle/Pedestrian Crossings over Highway 217 As previously noted, bicycle and pedestrian opportunities to cross over Highway 217 are limited in the study area. Considerable distance separates the pedestrian/bicycle facilities, and high-speed, high-volume motor vehicle traffic hinders safety and comfort. New crossing locations for bicycle and pedestrian access over Highway 217 were identified. a Provide a new bicycle/pedestrian connection over Highway 217 between SW Hall Boulevard and SW Scholls.Feny Road, which will provide an alternative connection between the Nimbus Avenue developments and Washington Square Mall for both pedestrians and bicycles. Also, providing the parallel bicycle path would be consistent with Metro's street design guidelines for high volume roads when roadway widths are insufficient to provide striped bicycle lanes. This improvement would be incorporated as part of the roadway improvements identified in the Future Transportation Alternatives Evaluations memorandum. • Provide a bicycle/pedestrian connection over Highway 217 from SW Cascade Boulevard southeast of Washington Square, which will provide an alternative to existing Highway 217 crossing opportunities, and would be consistent with Metro's street design guidelines for high volume roads when roadway widths are insufficient to provide striped bicycle lanes.

This connection would provide a bicycle route parallel to SW Greenburg Road and SW Hall Boulevard at SW Pfaffle Street where insufficient bridge width precludes striping of bicycle lanes on the roadway. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Motor Vehicle System . A number of conclusions can be drawn from the evaluation of the alternative system treatments reported in this memorandum. The key findings derived from this analysis are as follows: • The modified Highway 217/Hall Boulevard interchange. form tested in Alternative A does not improve the operation of the Scholls Ferry Road/Hall Boulevard intersection. • An alternative connection between areas to the west and areas to the southeast such as the tested Greenburg Road - Hall Boulevard connection assists in reducing congestion on Hall Boulevard. Latent demand in the system quickly absorbs the resulting release in capacity at the Hall Boulevard/Scholls Ferry Road intersection. • Variations in the connectivity of the Locust Street over-crossing (i.e. local vs. regional level connection) do not significantly impact on the traffic volumes in Locust Street. C The proposed southern connection between the Washington Square Mall and Hall Boulevard tested in Alternative C diverts significant traffic volumes from Hall Boulevard and reduces the need for widening Hall Boulevard to five lanes between the connection and Oleson Road. • A local level over-crossing connection between Washington Square and Cascade Avenue/Nimbus Avenue has the ability to divert traffic from the Hall Boulevard/Scholls Ferry Road intersection. Alternative Mode Transportation System Many opportunities exist to improve multi-modal access to/from and within the Washington Square Regional Center. The improvements identified in this memorandum fill gaps in the existing networks systems and provide new connections within the study area. The implementation of a series of improvements to the area's transit, pedestrian, and bicycle connections is critical to the continued development of the study area consistent with it's designation as a Regional Center. Existing transit service provides connections to the Washington Square Regional Center study area from downtown and from Beaverton. However, no service is provided along Nimbus. Transit connections to/from Nimbus Avenue must be made at SW Hall Boulevard or SW Scholls Ferry Road, which are spaced at approximately 6,000 feet (1.14 miles). • The pedestrian path provided from the Washington Square Transit Center to the mail is poorly s delineated and has no rain shelter. 1 I The only designated bicycle crossing over 1{ighway 217 within the study area is via SW Scholls Ferry Road, where high-volume and high-speed motor vehicle traffic hinders bicyclist safety anal com fort.

June 25, 1999 - ' • No bicycle lanes ar,- provided on SW Oleson Road, SW Greenburg Road north of Highway 217, and SW Hall Boulevard east of Scholls Ferry Road. Bicycle lanes are provided along SW Scholls Ferry Road and part of SW Hall Boulevard, and provide connections to most study area transit routes. No bike lanes are within the Washington Square Mall. • The existing sidewalk network has frequent gaps, including along Hall Boulevard between SW Oleson Road-Greenburg Road and SW Pfaffle Street; on SW Greenburg Road; and accessing Washington Square Mall. • Sidewalks are provided on Highway 217 over-crossings on SW Hall Boulevard near Cascade and near SW Pfaffle Street. However, sidewalks leading to these crossings have significant gaps. • Protected pedestrian crossing opportunities are limited on SW Greenburg Road adjacent to the Mall, and on Hall Boulevard south of Oak Street- • Pedestrian and bicycle facilities within Washington Square Mall are minimal and require pedestrians and bicyclists to navigate through parking lots and landscaped areas to gain access between shopping areas. • Lack of a direct link from Nimbus business developments to the Mall requires all modes to use SW Hall Boulevard or SW Scholls Ferry Road. Also, gaps in connectivity lead to out-of- direction travel for residents of Progress neighborhood, residential streets-off of SW Pfaffle Street. Conclusion The analysis of the motor vehicle and alternative mode transportation systems revealed many of the trade-offs inherent in developing a transportation system to serve competing demand. As the analysis showed, each concept plan would have varying degrees of impact on local and/or regional traffic conditions. In order to develop a system integrating regional and local travel needs, the elements of each system concept were evaluated individually, along with the potential improvements for pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes. The evaluation results and the recommended transportation plan will be provided in a subsequent technical memorandum. I Kittelson & Associates, Inc.

Mapping of a variety of features within the study area was undertaken by the City of Tigard. Data from Metro, Washington County, City of Beaverton and the City of Tigard was utflized, and field surveys and aerial photo checking was undertaken to verify information- Specific information on vacant land and redevelopment potential was verified with property owners, residents and business interests is the study area. EXISTING CONDMONS The Washington Square Regional Center study area includes lands within the City of Tigard, City of Beaverton and in unincorporated Washington County. Approximately 1,074 acres exclusive of public rights-of-way are included within the study area. The area 'is shown on the attached figure. Table 1 summarizes land area including vacant lands within each of five sub-areas established for study purposes.

Table 2 munmadzes the analysis for each sub- district. Lands identified as having future development or redevelopment capacity are currently vacant, have imfill opportunity, have redevelopment opportunity, or are currently used as large (greater than one acre) surface parking lot. Each of these categories is defined in the table. The vast majority of land available to accommodate future growth within the study area will be in the form of redevelopment of existing structures, and hrfill on sites currently utilized for surface parlamg lots. The'assuniptions used to determine had available in these two categories were developed with property owners and development interests knowledgeable of the study area. Over the next twenty years, approximately 192 acres of land area will be available to accommodate employment and residential growth within the study area.

City of Tigard W/in Mixed-Use Areas Dwelling Unit Capacity 6,073 Units 981 Units Job Increase 14,901 Jobs 8,026 Jobs These growth targets for mixed-use areas were used for planning purposes to develop future growth scenarios for the Washington Square Regional Center study area. The Regional Center Task Force has had several work sessions evaluating options and refining a desired development scenario. Both the target employment and dwelling unit assumptions for the most recent scenarios are higher than the figures noted above for mixed-use areas to reflect that the study area includes areas within the City of Beaverton and unincorporated Washington County as well as the City of Tigard. Table 3 summarizes a development scenario for the Washington Square Regional Center. The scenario is based on accommodating the following job and housing targets: Growth Scenario Summary: 1998-2020 Employment: 9,804 jobs Retail: 1,188 jobs Office: 8,436 jobs Lodging: 180 jobs Housing: 1,500 units Residents: 2530 people Estimates were made of needed building area to accommodate both employment types and housing, and land needed for parking at target parldng ratios. Two scenarios were then identified, which represent `bookends" as to the amount of land needed within the study area to accommodate the growth targets. The High Density Scenario assumed high floor area ratios (FAR ratio of building area to site area) and residential densities, mixed-use buildings, and also assumed that new parking would be predominantly constructed in parking structures. Approximately 120 acres would be needed. The Moderate Density Scenario assumed floor area ratios and housing densities within the range that exists in the study area today, and also assumed that most new parking would be constructed on surface parking lots. Approximately 220 acres would be needed. 3 a 7Table 1-Target Capacity for Housing and Employment Units-Year 1994-2017, Urban Grosith "w7ggement Functio a! Plan. Metro, 1996.

This program provides for the same target employment and housing as do the smarios descnbed in Table 3. Sub-Areas A and C are assunwd to develop at higher densities than the rest of the study area. These sub-areas include the areas around the Washington Square Mall and the Lincoln Center office complex. Sub-Areas III, D and E are assumed to develop at intensities more moderate, but generally greater than existing intensity in there areas. Density assumptions are summarized below. Land Use: 1Tigh Density: Moderate Density: Office @ FAR 1.25 @ FAR 0.6 Retail @ FAR 0.6 @ FAR 0.3 Lodging @ FAR 1.0 @ FAR 1.0 Holt @ 50 DU/Acre @ 25 DU/Acre This refined development program will require approximately 170 acres over the next 20 years. Table 4 shows the amount of net land available for development within each sub-area. Adequate development and redevelopment capacity exists within the study area as a whole to accommodate development at densities assumed in Table 4. Sub-Area B is shown to aced approximately two additional acres to aeeornmodate the growth allocated to this area- It is anticipated that that growth will likely occur in adjacent sub-areas. The analysis shown in Table 4 is for general planning purposes only. More detailed analysis of zoning capacity will be required to refine ultimate development allocations. i a i i i 3 Development and Redevelopment Opportunities Page 7 Match 24, 1999 SEE LLtT11711)11 1 V 11. . 3 d 1 Table 4 WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER Proposed Development Program C Final Task Force Development Allocations M Growth Summary Employment: 9,804 jobs Retail: 1,188 jobs Office: 8,436 jobs o Lodging: 180 jobs Housing: 1,500 units n T Sub-Area A Sub-Area B Sub-Area C Sub-Area D Sub-Area E Totals N (High Density) (Moderate Density) (High Density) (Moderate Density) (Moderate Density) -a 11 Avg Jobe/ Acw Avg Job el Agee Avg Jobe/ Acres Avg Jobs/ Acre Avg Jobd Aeae A%S rTabd ARw 11 LVU Naito 1i» b Lfilita Uclto Ua3a Units L% to Uolte pfliae 460 1673 8.4 200 727 7.7 460 1673 8.4 400 1455 13.3 800 2909 30.6 2320 84136 Xs Retail 400 667 15.3 50 83 3.8 75 125 2.9 75 125 5.7 113 lee 8.6 713 1181 36.3 Lod&& 0 0 150 90 3.3 75 45 1.6 75 45 1.6 0 O 300 180 63 Houli 300 300 6.0 150 150 6.0 450 450 9.0 400 400 16.0 200 200 8.0 1500 1300 4:.0 P&U 2 2.0 0 0.0 8 8.0 0 0.0 2 2.0 12 12.0 r pct 31.8 20.8 30.0 38.7 491 170.4 Na Ind 35.0 18.9 45.8 38.4 341 1922 ~ o W AVriLble Source: Spec= Kupper N 0, Averole UrAu: meh Detour.

The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and the Official Zoning District map will reflect the plan policies and apply land use categories in the following manner. n. Mixed Use Commercial District - Principal development in these areas will be high density office buildings, retail and service uses. A zoning designation of MUC will also allow mixed-use development and housing at densities of SO units an acre. MTJC districts will encourage larger buildings with parking under, behind or alongside the structures. The Regional Center Framework Plan recommends that land around the Washington Square Mall and land immediately west of Highway 217 be designated a mixed use commercial district. o. Mixed Use Residential ]District - The-MUR designation is appropriate for predominantly residential areas where mixed uses are permitted when compatible with the residential use. Areas will be designated high density (MDR 1) or moderate density (MUR-2). Locations within the Washington Square Regional Center are appropriate for this mixed use designation. Add a new section 11.8 with the following: 11.8 WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER In 1996, Metro adopted a visionary plan for regional development. The Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan described strategies to make the most efficient use of urban land in the face of dramatic population growth, to create and preserve livable neighborhoods, and to promote a useful, accessible transportation system. One of the key elements of the functional plan, often called the 2040 plan, was the designation of regional centers. These are areas of concentrated commerce, local government services and housing served by high-quality transit. Washington Square is one of three regional centers in Washington County and one of nine in the region. The 2040 plan resulted from extensive regional discussion about the future of the Portland metropolitan area. Once the plan was adopted, Metro instructed local citizens and governments to determine the best way to create regional centers given the values, interests and needs of residents and businesses. 1'lie following findings and policies sunuiiarim the results of a thorough public discussion about the future of the Washington Square Regional Center area. It demonstrates tlic way the people of Tigard and Washington County incorporated their expectations for (lie future into (lie regional 2 6i'ashington Square Regional Center Contpreheasiae Playa Antendntcnts: Draft 8119199 MIN Im framework plan. ® As a result of work completed on the 2040 Growth Concept, local govectaments, husinesses, residents and yropffW owned in Washington County began a study of land use,'bmnsportation and other fimctnoas around Washington Square. ® In 1998, the T'agard City Council appointed 23 people to serve oa the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force. Task Force members represent neighborhoods, schools, business and property owners, sate and local governments and public iatereg groups. The task force's charge was to identify issues and set general policy for recommendations about had use, transportation, open space, aesthetics and other is ,:es relevant to development around Washington Square. The Task Force also oversaw a public involvement process. e The Task Force agreed on a study area that includes 1250 acres, with Washington Square Mall approximately in the center. The area is bounded by Fanno Creek on the west, SW Greenburg Road and Hall Blvd. on the east, Progress Downs Golf Course to the north, and Highway 217 and Ash Creek on the south. • The Task Force members agreed on a set ofprinciples that would guide development of all recommendations. These principles are as follows: - CreatiotvPreservation of Area Identity • Reinforce a distinctive Regional Center while recognizing and respecting the character of the nearby residential community. • Retain and develop quality housing, including affordable housing, for all income levels. • Facilitate transitions from one use to another; for example, single to multifamily residential uses. • Preserve and enhance Metzger Park and consider additional parks. • Encourage environmentally-friendly development. • Try to keep historic trees. • Build for our children: Have a sense of stewardship. • Think creatively and be innovative in improvi Wmaintainicag quality of life. • Consider market forces and development patterns. • Maintain and preserve floodplains and wetlands. Government/Institutional Issues 'I Consider all political boundaries and facilitate cooperation among jurisdictions. ` Maintain neigliborhood scliools. Identify and reinforce what makes fade learning (educational) environment viable. I I 3 lVashington Square Regional Center Conypreltensive Plait Amendments: Draft 8119199 Transporpa~ion - • Strive for a self-.at is icat, connected transportation system- Consider transportation needs for the whole study area. • flan for a multi-modal transportation system that accommodates increased auto and non- auto travel needs. • Respect and eahnnce local street itctworks and neighbodrood livabRity, • Maintain an acceptable level of service and safety on regional roads, minimizing tho effect on regional roads outside the study area. • Provide good transportation access to the rest of the region. • Make the community accessible for all people and modes with connections for cars, bikes, pedestrians and transit. • Maintain a high level of accessibility within and to the regional center. • Use appropriate street and streetscape de4u. • Encourage attractive, high quality development. • Promote long-term viability for the area. Assure infrastructure is available prior to or with development. The Regional Center Plan Should • Be understandable to lay people • Be implementable within a reasonable, staged period of time • Help develop a sense of community with a common vision, hope and optimism • Be based on statistics and facts for population, employment and other factors • Use eking resources as much as possible • Encourage compatible and complementary uses • Contain solutions to common problems • Avoid conflict with other regional centers. o The Washington Square Regional Center study area includes land within the City of Tigard, the City of Beaverton and in unincorporated Washington County. The study covers approximately 1,074 acres exclusive of public rights-of=way and 1,250 total acres. About 4.2 percent of the net land area within the study area is vacant. • The Task Force evaluated all lands within the study area for future development or redevelopment capacity through 2020. Land identified as having development or redevelopment potential if it is currently vacant, has infill capacity, bolds an opportunity for redevelopment or currently is used as a large (greater than one acre) surface parlang lot. The vast majority of growth potential will come from redevelopment of existing structures and infill on sites currently used for surface parking. Over the next 20 years, approximately 192 acres oCland will become available to accommodate employment and residential growth within the study area. • Metro's Regional Urban Growth Management Functional Plan established "target growth capacity" for eacli jurisdiction in the region. "laic goal of setting these target numbers is for 4 lVashinglon Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Anreadntenls: Draft 8119199 each part of the region to be prepared to acoominodate housing and job growth. 'The target growth capacity for the Washington Square Regional Center is based on accommodating the following new jobs and housing units between 1998 and 2020: Employment: 9,804 jobs Retail: 1,188 jobs Office: 8,436 jobs Lodging. 180 jobs Housing: 1,500 units Residents: 2530 people 0 A development program for the Washington Square Regional Center provides for the target employment and housing growth capacity. Areas including the districts around the Washington Square Mall, the Lincoln Center office complex, and an.emer&g milted-use district south of Locust will develop at relatively high densities. Areas north of Locust and west of Highway 217 will develop at more moderate intensities, but generally greater than existing intensity in these areas. Lenity assumptions are summarized below. Land Use: Lligh Density: Moderate Density: Office @ FAR 1.25 @ FAR 0.6 Retail @ FAR 0.6 @ FAR 0.3 Lodging @ FAR 1.0 @ FAR 1.0 Housing @ 50 DU/Acre @ 25 DU/Acre 0 This development program will require approximately 170-200 acres over the next 20 years. Adequate development and redevelopment capacity exists within the study area as a whole to accommodate development as long as densities assumed above are achieved. • The Regional Center Task Force reached agreements on basic elements of urban development, environmental protection, and transportation facilities. An overall framework plan descries the vision for the regional center- 0 The Task Force demonstrated an impressive amount of interest in mixed-use neighborhoods and developments. Increasing land value and transportation costs will contribute to the desire of workers and employers for proximity of housing and work sites. The regional center's urban design concept incorporates the need for improved transportation links, higher density, variety of land uses and services and a quality of caviroamcut necessary to create a desirable, livable comm unity in the fact of dramatic population growtli. ® Major roadways in the study area experience significant traffic congestion during weekday peak periods. I lighway 217, Greenberg Road, l{all Boulevard and Scrolls Derry Road 5 Washing(cm Square Rcglotral Center Comprehensive Plan Anteadments: Draft 81191Y9 i A The majority of the arterial and collector streets in the study area have sidewalks. Schous Ferry Road and Hall Boulevard have bike lanes within the study area. HiAway 217 preseats a major barrier for pedestrians and bicylists. The only connections between the east and west sides of the highway in the study area are overcrossings on Half Boulevard, Scholls Ferry Road and Greenburg Road. 'Of these three crossings; sidewalks are found only on Hall Boulevard and Greenburg Road, with bicycle lanes only on Scholls Ferry Road. The only bikce lanes on the east side of the Washington Square Mall are on Hall Boulevard. ® The Washington Square Transit tenter is located in the northeast parting area of the Washington Square Mall. This transit center serves as a bus stop for routes 43, 45, 56; 62, 76 and 78. These routes connect Washington Square to transit centers in downtown Portland, Beaverton, Tigard and Lake Oswego, as well as providing service to the Tualatin area. A wider selection of transit tools could create a less congested, auto- dependent transportation system within and connecting to the study area. In the future, those areas already identified as experiencing traffic congestion will continue to be clogged. In addition, other sections of Hall Boulevard, Greenburg Road, and Cascade Avenue and Oleson Road will also experience congestion. Traffic estimates do not predict congestion on local Metzger area streets directly cast of Washington Square Mall- l'OLICUF,S 11.8.1 THE CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES CONTAINED IN THE WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTE R.

This Chapter will implement the vision, concepts and principles contained in the Washington Square Regional Center Plan, prepared by a Task Force appointed by the City of Tigard. B. Metros Regional Urban Growth Management Functional Plan target growth capacity for the Washington Square Regional Center will be met by permitting mixed use development within the Regional Center at densities appropriate for an urban center. C. A mixed use Regional Center will contain a variety of districts that vary in scale, predominant use, and character. Distinct districts, connected to each other and to die rest of the region by a multi-modal transportation system, will provide a range of working, living and shopping opportunities. D. Improved multi-modal transportation links, higher densities, variety of land uses, and enhanced environmental qualities will all contribute to create a desirable, livable community in the face of dramatic population and employment growth. E. New mixed-use zoning districts, along with existing residential zoning districts in established areas, are appropriate for the Regional Center. 18.630.020 List of Washington Square Regional Center Mixed Use Zoning Districts A. (Ml IC)- Mixr I Ise C'nmmercinl District This designation includes land around the Washington Square Mall and land immediately west of Highway 217. Primary uses permitted include office buildings, retail, and service uses. Also permitted are mixed-use developments and housing at densities of 50 units per acre. Larger buildings are encouraged in this area with parking under, behind or to the sides of buildings. B. (MI JE L-M xrri I Ise Employment Districts. This designation applies to areas where employment uses such as office, research and development and light manufacturing are concentrated. Commercial and retail support uses are allowed but arc limited, and residential uses are permitted which are compatible with employment character of the area. Lincoln Center is an example of an area designated MUC-1, the high density mixed use employment district. The Nimbus area is an example of an area designated MUG-2 requiring more moderate densities.

REGIONAL CENTER STUDY Final Draft Task Force Recommendations for Comprehensive Plan Amendments to Implement the Washington Square Regional Center Plan August 25, 1999 Add the following to implementation strategies, under policies 1.1.1 and 1.1.2: Implementation strate ies 1. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and the Official Zoning District map will reflect the plan policies and apply land use categories in the following manner: n. Mixed Use Commercial District - Principle development in these areas will be high density office buildings, retail and service uses. A zoning designation of MUC will also allow mixed-use development and housing at densities of 50 units an acre. MUC districts will encourage larger buildings with parking under, behind or alongside the structures. The Regional Center Plan recommends that land around the Washington Square Mall and land immediately west of Highway 217 be designated a mixed-use commercial district. o. Mixed Use Residential District - The MUR designation is appropriate for predominantly residential areas where mixed uses are permitted when compatible with the residential use. Areas will br~ designated high density (MUR-1) or moderate density (MUR-2). Locations within the Washington Square Regional Center are appropriate for this mixed-use designation. Add a new section 11.8 with the following: 11.8 WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER In 1995, Metro Council adopted a visionary plan for regional development. The 2040 Growth Concept described strategies to make the most efficient use of urban land in the face of dramatic population growth, to create and preserve livable neighborhoods, and to promote a useful, accessible transportation system. One of the key elements of the 2040 Growth Concept, was the designation of regional centers. These are areas of concentrated commerce, local government services and housing served by high-quality transit. Washington Square is one of three regional centers in Washington County and one of nine in the region. The 2040 Growth Concept resulted from extensive regional discussion about the future of the 1 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 84 Portland metropolitan area. Metro, working with local jurisdictions, then developed the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan in 1996 to implement the Growth Concept. Local citizens and governments were then to determine the best way to create regional centers given the values, interests and needs of residents and businesses of that community. The following findings and policies summarize the results of a thorough public discussion about the future of the Washington Square Regional Center area. It demonstrates the way the people of Tigard and Washington County incorporated their expectations for the future into the Regional Center Plan. Findings • With the adoption of the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan., local governments, businesses, residents and property owners in Washington County began a study of land use, transportation and other functions around Washington Square. • In 1998, the Tigard City Council appointed 23 people to serve on the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force. Task Force members represent neighborhoods, schools, business and property owners, state and local governments and public interest groups. The task force=s charge was to identify issues and set general policy for recommendations about land use, transportation, open space, aesthetics and other issues relevant to development around Washington Square. The Task Force also oversaw a public involvement process. • The Task Force agreed on a study area that includes 1250 acres, with Washington Square Mall approximately in the center. The area is bounded by Fanno Creek on the west, SW Greenburg Road and Hall Blvd. on the east, Progress Downs Golf Course to the north, and Highway 217 and Ash Creek on the south. • The Task Force members agreed on a set of principles that would guide development of all recommendations. These principles are as follows: Creation/Preservation of Area Identity • Reinforce a distinctive Regional Center while recognizing and respecting the character of the nearby residential community. • Retain and develop quality housing, including affordable housing, for all income levels. • Facilitate transitions from one use to another; for example, single to multifamily residential uses. • Preserve and enhance Metzger Park and consider additional parks. • Encourage environmentally friendly development. • Try to keep historic trees. • Build for our children: Have a sense of stewardship. • Think creatively and be innovative in improving/maintaining quality of life. • Consider market forces and development patterns. 2 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 81: • Maintain and preserve floodplains and wetlands. Government/Institutional Issues a Consider all political boundaries and facilitate cooperation among jurisdictions. a Maintain neighborhood schools. a Identify and reinforce what makes the leaming (educational) environment viable. Transportation a Strive for a self-sufficient, connected transportation system. a Consider transportation needs for the whole study area. a Plan for a multi-modal transportation system that accommodates increased auto and non- auto travel needs. a Respect and enhance local street networks and neighborhood livability. a Maintain an acceptable level of service and safety on regional roads, minimizing the effect on regional roads outside the study area. a Provide good transportation access to the rest of the region. a Make the community accessible for all people and modes with connections for cars, bikes, pedestrians and transit. a Maintain a high level of accessibility within and to the regional center. a Use appropriate street and streetscape design. a Encourage attractive, high quality development. a Promote long-term viability for the area. Assure infrastructure is available prior to or with development. The Regional Center Plan Should a Be understandable to lay people a Be implementable within a reasonable, staged period of time a Help develop a sense of community with a common vision, hope and optimism Be based on statistics and facts for population, employment and other factors a Use existing resources as much as possible a Encourage compatible and complementary uses a Contain solutions to common problems a Avoid conflict with other regional centers. a The Washington Square Regional Center study area includes land within the City of a Tigard, the City of Beaverton and in unincorporated Washington County. The study 1 covers approximately 1,074 acres exclusive of public rights-of-way and 1,250 total acres. About 4.2 percent of the net land area within the study area is vacant. a a The Task Force evaluated all lands within the study area for future development or j redevelopment capacity through 2020. Land identified as having development or redevelopment potential if it is currently vacant, has infill capacity, holds an opportunity for redevelopment or currently is used as a large (greater than one acre) surface parking 3 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments w ` lot. The vast majority of growth potential will come from redevelopment of existing structures and infill on sites currently used for surface parking. Over the next 20 years, approximately 192 acres of land will become available to accommodate employment and residential growth within the study area. • Metro, s Regional Urban Growth Management Functional Plan established target growth capacity" for each jurisdiction in the region. The goal of setting these target numbers is for each part of the region to be prepared to accommodate housing and job growth. The target growth capacity for the Washington Square Regional Center is based on accommodating the following new jobs and housing units between 1998 and 2020: Employment: 9,804 jobs Retail: 1,188 jobs Office: 8,436 jobs Lodging: 180 jobs Housing: 1,500 units Residents: 2530 people • A development program for the Washington Square Regional Center provides for the target employment and housing growth capacity. Areas including the districts around the Washington Square Mall, the Lincoln Center office complex, and an emerging mixed- use district south of Locust will develop at relatively high densities. Areas north of Locust and west of Highway 217 will develop at more moderate intensities, but generally greater than existing intensity in these areas. Density assumptions are summarized below: Land Use: High Density: Moderate Density: Office @ FAR 1.25 @ FAR 0.6 Retail @ FAR 0.6 @ FAR 0.3 Lodging @ FAR 1.0 @ FAR 1.0 Housing @ 50 DU/Acre @ 25 DU/Acre • This development program will require approximately 170-200 acres over the next 20 years. Adequate development and redevelopment capacity exists within the study area as a whole to accommodate development as long as densities assumed above are achieved. • The Regional Center Task Force reached agreements on basic elements of urban development, environmental protection, and transportation facilities. The Washington Square Regional Center Plan describes the vision for the regional center. • The "task Force demonstrated an impressive amount of interest in mixed-use neighborhoods and developments. Increasing land value and transportation costs will 4 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments s/; 7 contribute to the desire of workers and employers for proximity of housing and work sites. The regional center, s urban design concept incorporates the need for improved transportation links, higher density, variety of land uses and services and a quality of environment necessary to create a desirable, livable community in the face of dramatic population growth. • Major roadways in the study area experience significant traffic congestion during weekday peak periods. Highway 217, Greenburg Road, Hall Boulevard and Scholls Ferry Road are subject to traffic delays. The major capacity constraints occur at the Hall Boulevard/Scholls Ferry Road intersection, the Scholls Ferry Road/Nimbus Avenue intersection, and the Greenburg Road/Highway 217 ramp intersections. In addition, Highway 217 itself is highly congested. • The majority of the arterial and collector streets in the study area have sidewalks. Scholls Ferry Road and Hall Boulevard have bike lanes within the study area. Highway 217 presents a major barrier for pedestrians and bicyclists. The only connections between the east and west sides of the highway in the study area are overcrossings on Hall Boulevard, Scholls Ferry Road and Greenburg Road. Of these three crossings, sidewalks are found only on Hall Boulevard and Greenburg Road, with bicycle lanes only on Scholls Ferry Road. The only bike lanes on the east side of the Washington Square Mall are on Hall Boulevard. • The Washington Square Transit Center is located in the northeast parking area of the Washington Square Mall. This transit center serves as a bus stop for routes 43, 45, 56, 62, 76 and 78. These routes connect Washington Square to transit centers in downtown Portland, Beaverton, Tigard and Lake Oswego, as well as providing service to the Tualatin area. A wider selection of transit tools could create a less congested, auto- dependent transportation system within and connecting to the study area. • In the future, those areas already identified as experiencing traffic congestion will continue to be clogged. In addition, other sections of Hall Boulevard, Greenburg Road, and Cascade Avenue and Oleson Road will also experience congestion. Traffic estimates do not predict congestion on local Metzger area streets directly east of Washington Square Mall. POLICIES _ 11.8.1 THE CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES CONTAINED IN THE WASHINGTON + SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER PLAN SHALL PROVIDE THE OVERALL GUIDING FRAMEWORK FOR MORE DETAILED IMPLEMENTING ACTIONS FOR THE AREA. THE IMPLEMENTING ACTIONS INCLUDE AT A MINIMUM: 3 a a. Comprehensive plan map and zoning map amendments including transportation plan. 5 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 8/~ b. A public facilities plan for the area including a financing plan. C. A transportation improvement plan for the area including a financing plan. d. A parks and open space plan for the area including a financing plan. e. A recognition of the Regional Center Boundary for the purpose of establishing local, regional and state funding priority in order to accomplish the concepts and principles of the plan. 11.8.2 THREE DISTINCT TYPES OF MIXED USE DISTRICTS SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER. THESE DISTRICTS ARE: a. MIXED USE COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS (MUC). THE REGIONAL CENTER PLAN RECOMMENDS THAT LAND AROUND THE WASHINGTON SQUARE MALL AND LAND IMMEDIATELY WEST OF HIGHWAY 217 BE DESIGNATED A MIXED USE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. PRINCIPAL DEVELOPMENT IN THESE AREAS WILL BE OFFICE BUILDINGS, RETAIL AND SERVICE USES. A ZONING DESIGNATION OF MUC WILL ALSO ALLOW MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING AT DENSITIES OF 50 UNITS AN ACRE. MUC DISTRICTS WILL ENCOURAGE LARGER BUILDINGS WITH PARKING UNDER, BEHIND OR ALONGSIDE THE STRUCTURES. b. MIXED USE EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT (MUE). MIXED USE EMPLOYMENT DISTRICTS REFER TO AREAS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF OFFICE, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND LIGHT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIAL USES. COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL SUPPORT USES ARE ALLOWED, BUT ARE LIMITED. THE ZONING WILL PERMIT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT COMPATIBLE WITH THE DISTRICT=S EMPLOYMENT CHARACTER. LINCOLN CENTER IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN AREA DESIGNATED MUE-1, THE HIGH DENSITY MIXED-USE EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT. THE NIMBUS AREA IS DESIGNATED MUE-2, REQUIRING MORE MODERATE DENSITIES. c. MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS (MUR). THE MUR DESIGNATION IS APPROPRIATE FOR PREDOMINANTLY RESIDENTIAL AREAS WHERE P.'IIXED USES ARE PERMITTED WHEN COMPATIBLE WITH THE RESIDENTIAL USE. AREAS WILL BE DESIGNATED HIGH DENSITY (MUR-1) OR MODERATE DENSITY (MUR-2). 3 Proposed Amendment to Chapter 8. Transportation. Add a new Policy: 6 Washington Square Regional Center Comprehensive Plan Amendments 8/~ MEN 8.1.9 THE CITY SHALL ADOPT THE FOLLOWING TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT STRATEGY IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE PLANNED LAND USES IN THE WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER: a.

PREPARED BY: Craig Prosser DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK ISSUE, BEFORE THE COUNCIL Receive information concerning a measure currently being circulated for signatures for inclusion on the November 2000 ballot. If approved by voters, this measure will retroactively affect several issues currently under discussion in the City of Tigard. STAFF RECOMMENDATION No action necessary. Informational briefing only. INFORMATION SUMMARY The Taxpayer Protection Initiative (Initiative #47) is currently being circulated for signatures, if it receives sufficient signatures, it will appear on the November 2000 ballot. The measure includes a two year retroactive provision, so if approved by voters in November 2000, it will affect actions taken by local governments since December 6, 1998. Tigard is also currently considering several issues that will be affected by this measure should it qualify for the ballot and be approved by voters. This informational briefing will explain several provisions of the measure and identify uncertainties it creates for actions to be considered by the Council between now and November 2000. Briefing materials are attached.

"...(7) (a) Subject to Section la of Article IX, the Legislative Assembly and Governor may override this section and call for a special election date other than the date(s) set forth in subsection (1) of this section, or may enact by law particular taxes, or authorize particular local taxes, fees, or charges without a vote of the People if such taxes are approved by a three-fourths vote in each house and signed into law by the Governor. Any tax authorized or enacted by such action shall be designated for a specific purpose and shall be in effect no longer than twelve months. Any tax, fee, or charge imposed under this subsection shall be subject to referendum. Issues/Comments : Ability to achieve 3/4 majority plus Gubernatorial approval seems remote. Best case is one year tax • Impractical timing: No provision for dealing with years when Legislature not in session. Section la of Article IX refers to needing to wait 90 days after sine die for a tax measure to be effective. Therefore, delays in collection of additional revenue may be substantial. Local tax may be approved, but not clear on collection mechanism and how it is coordinated with other constitutional provisions.

Local Authority to Override "...7(b) Subject to Section la of Article IX of this Constitution, if a local emergency is declared by the Governor, the affected city county, or local taxing district may override this section for a period not exceeding twelve months, if: (i) the override is approved by not less than a three-fourths vote of the members of the local governing body, and (ii) the continuation of the tax for any remainder of the twelve months is approved by voters voting in an election held within ninety (90) days of the date the emergency is declared, and otherwise adopted in conformance with this section. Issues/Comments Timing issues - State override seems to suggest 12 month period starts from when tax is collected; local override may start 12 month period from when it is collected; Required declaration of emergency by Governor is at best impractical, and at worst may prevent local government from managing local crisis; Election problems - may not be able to hold an election within 90 days under current law; Voter approval subject to adoption "in conformance with this section," which probably means both the higher percentage and possibly requiring voting at a general election, which would render the local override provision mostly meaningless. /D 4 y 77 Ire in violation of this fees, or charges ~t • 9) A government that levies taxes, . 11 plus interest, tot , payers in erest ~aid hall be computed as the ® Penalties - 6% Interest plus. n1ount...collected in violation of this Section 32a shall re find the amount Int th d for the period llection of the tax, owin the determination of violation. from co the twelve monks full g ercent per year, compoun cost of living change plus of the refunds..." or charge* *,has standing fee, or charge to paym fee, affected by a new or increased tax, in material violation of this section within Any ninety Oregon taxpayer • .

People's right to approve all taxes. The purpose of this 2000 Amendment is to ensure that new taxes and tax increases, which further deprive citizens of income and property, are hereafter directly approved by the people. Therefore, except as provided in Section 6 of Article IX, any new tax, fee, or charge, or increase in an existing tax, fee, or charge, shall require approval by the people, as follows: (1)(a) No new tax, fee, or charge shall be imposed, assessed or levied, and no existing tax, fee or charge shall be increased by the state or any local government or taxing district, unless the new tax, fee, or charge, or increase thereof is first approved in an election held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November of an even numbered year, or any other election held on a date which the state legislative assembly has designated as an annual election date on which measures may be placed on the statewide ballot by initiative petition, and the new tax, fee, or charge, or increase thereof, is approved by not less than the percentage of participating voters who voted "Yes" on this 2000 Amendment For purposes of this section and subject to subsection (5) of this section, the following shall require only approval by a majority of those voting in the election: (i) a measure to renew an expiring tax levy, which levy solely funds police, fire, or 911 emergency services, the rate or amount of which levy is not greater than the rate or amount of the expiring levy; and (ii) a measure to increase the state motor vehicle fuel tax (b) The ballot title and official voters pamphlet explanatory statement for a measure to adopt a new tax, fee, or charge; to approve a bond measure; or to increase an existing tax, fee, or charge, shall begin with the words: A "Yes" vote on this measure is a vote to increase taxes. The question submitted to voters also shall clearly describe the proposed new tax, fee, or charge, or increase thereof; if the measure is a bond measure, a projection of the total cost of the bond, including interest thercon; and revenue the measure would produce annually. (c) Nothing in this section shall affect taxes levied for the repayment of bonded indebtedness approved by voters in an election held prior to Nov. 7, 2000, or the issuance of refunding bonds to pay such bonded indebtedness. This section does not require voter approval for the issuance of, or the levy of taxes to pay, bonds issued to repay bonds issued prior to the effective date of this section or issued in conformance with this section. (2) For purposes of this section, any elimination, limitation, or reduction of a tax exemption, credit, deduction, exclusion, or cost- of-living indexing shall be considered a tax increase. (3) The following revenues shall not be considered new or increased taxes, fees, or charges for the purposes of this section: user fees charged by Peoples' Utility Districts or port districts; mass transit fares; college or university tuition and fees; incurred charges and assessments for local improvements as defined by Article M Section l lb of this Constitution; increases in charges for government products and services solely to pass through increased costs of wholesale inputs that are not government employee labor costs, or otherwise under the charging government's control; fines or forfeitures for violation of haw; lottery revenue; fees paid to official business and trade associations by those engaged in that business or occupation; earnings from interest, investments, donations, or asset sales; and fees or charges for products or services which may be legally obtained from a reasonably available source other than government, provided that the new or increased fee or charge for the product or service is not greater than the average private sector charge for the same product or service in the same market (4xa) If in the two years previous to the effective date of this section, an existing tax, fee, or charge was increased more than three percent (30/o), or a new tax„ fee, or charge was adopted or first imposed, the increase in the existing tax, fee, or charge, to the extent it exceeded a three percent increase, and any new tax, fee, or charge, shall be either repealed or submitted to the voters for approval at the next election, if the new or increased tax, fee or charge was not approved by at least the percentage of voters required in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of this section. If a new tax fee or charge was imposed, or an existing tax, fee, or charge increased in the two years previous to the effective date of this section, and the new tax, fee, or charge or increase in an existing tax, fcc, or charge, was not approved in conformance with this section, and not approved by voters at the next election, the amount of the new tax, fee, or charge or excessive increase collected shall be refunded to the payer. Taxes to pay voter approved bonded indebtedness, and taxes, fees, and charges listed in subsection (3) of this section are exempt from the requirements of this paragraph (a) of this subsection (4). (b) Provided that the amount of a fee or charge does not exceed the actual cost of providing the product or service, the following fees and charges may be increased at a rate not greater than the rate of inflation since the effective date of this section, without a public vote: (i) charges and fees in effect on or before December 6, 1998; (ii) charges and fees first adopted or first effective after December 6, 1998, if adopted in accordance with this section. 0 (5) Nothing in this section shall be construed as nullifying the requirement-in Section 11 of Article JQ of this Constitution that elections for property tax measures, which are voted on in an election held on a date other than the general election, achieve not less than fifty percent (50%) voter participation to be valid Ma) This section shall not require a vote of the people when increase; in government revenue occur solely due to a change in federal tax law, increases in income, or other changes in the circumstances of individual taxpayers. Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing an increase in the tax on a property tax in an amount greater than allowed under Article M of this Constitution. (b) If, after the effective date of this section, a government temporarily suspends or voluntarily lowers a tax, fee, or charge; the tax, fee or charge may be increased later, without a public vote, to the rate or amount it would have been under this section had the suspension or reduction not occurred (7)(a) Subject to Section la of Article IX, the Legislative Assembly and Governor may override this section and call for a special election date other than the date(s) set forth in subsection (1) of this section, or may enact by law particular taxes, or authorize particular local taxes, fees, or charges without a vote of the People if such taxes are approved by a three-fourths vote in each house and signed into law by the Governor. Any tax authorized or enacted by such action shall be designated for a specific purpose and shall be in effect no longer than twelve months. Any tax, fee, or charge imposed under this subsection shall be subject to referendum (b) Subject to Section la of Article IX of this Constitution, if a local Emergency is declared by the Governor, the affected city, county, or local taxing district may override this section for a period not exceeding twelve months, if: (i) the overri& is ;._-xnvcd by not less than a three-fourths vote of the members of the local governing body, and (ii) the continuation of the tae for any remainder of the twelve months is approved by voters voting in an election held within ninety (90) days of the date the emergency is declared, and otherwise adopted in conformance with this section. (8) The public shall be given reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed ballot title for any measure to create a new tax, fee, or charge or increase an existing tax, fee, or charge. The ballot title may be challenged in court; and shall be rejected if it is biased, inaccurate, not easily understood, or does not comply with paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section. (9) A government that levies taxes, foes, or charges in violation of this Section 32a shall refund the amount of any tax, fee, or charge collected in violation of this section, plus interest, to taxpayers in the twelve months following the determination of violation. Interest paid shall be computed as the cost of living change plus six percent per year, compounded for the period from collection of the tax, fee, or charge to payment of the refunds. If the cost of issuing the refund is more than twenty percent (209/6) of the amount of the refund, a credit may be issued to the appropriate taxpayers. (10) Because governments have at times been creative at redefining terms, or otherwise creating new funding mechanisms in order to circumvent limitations placed upon them by the people, the legislature, in implementing this section, and the courts in interpreting it, shall apply the strictest scrutiny to any new or renamed government funding mechanism; and shall require in every reasonable circumstance voter approval as required in this section for new or increased taxes, fees, or charges, regardless of the creativity used by the government in designing or naming the finding mechanism Under this section, certificates of participation and all such funding mechanisms shall be subject to the same limitations and requirements as a bond measure. (11) Any Oregon taxpayer affected by a new or increased tax, fee, or charge or bond issue subject to this Section 32a has standing to challenge it, and/or the election authorizing its imposition, by court action commenced in any cmnW in which the taxing entity is located If the elation is held, a tax, fee, or charge is imposed, or a bond is approved, in material violation of this section or any implementing legislation, the court shall declare the tax, fee, charge or bond void Such an action shall be commenced within ninety (90) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the election approving the tax, fee, charge or bond is held; or (ii) the date on which the tax, fee, or charge is first imposed or the bond is approved for issue. The court shall award reasonable attorney fees and costs to the prevailing taxpayer, or if the action is found to be frivolous, to a prevailing government party. (12) If any phrase, clause, or part of this Amendment is invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining phrases, clauses, and parts shall remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Amendment is found to violate or infringe upon a right of any person or group under the U.S. Constitution, the provision shall remain in full force and effect for all other persons or groups for which no infringement has been found 31Y IS' -0 AU1713L103S .-MSi3a -HHd LS Wd 01 M 66, r7 A 17n']W AGENDA ITEM # ) , 3 FOR AGENDA OF March 14.2000 CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUNLMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Pledge of/rAll~le fiance and Patriotic Songs PREPARED BY: Susan Koepping~~~l{f DEPT HEAD OK „~46L~CITY MGR OK ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Brownie troop 692 will lead the Council and audience in the Pledge of Allegiance and present a short program of patriotic songs.

PREPARED BY: Craig Prosser DEPT HEAD OK C~ CITY MGR OK~ ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Should the City waive any potential conflict of interest on the part of its bond counsel in the representation of a private firm on franchise issues? STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this resolution. INFORMATION SUMMARY The City uses the firm of Preston, Gates, and Ellis for municipal finance and bond related work. This is a well- qualified firm which is knowledgeable about the City and its municipal finance requirements. The lead attorney for the City's work is Harvey Rogers. The Preston firm was recently retained by RCN, a telecommunications and cable firm to represent is in negotiations with the Metropolitan Area Communications Commission and, potentially, the City of Tigard, regarding the granting of a franchise. The lead attorney for this engagement is another of the firm's attorneys, not Harvey Rogers. The Oregon Code of Professional Responsibility Disciplinary Rules require a legal firm to disclose and request a waiver of a potential conflict of interest when it is hired by a client who may have opposing business interests with another client. Preston, Gates, and Ellis has sent a letter making this disclosure and requesting the City's waiver of this potential conflict of interest. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Do not waive the potential conflict of interest. Due to the size of the City's business, it is likely that Preston, Gates, and Ellis would withdraw from further representation of the City.

Hall Blvd. Tigard, Oregon 9722" Re: Disclosure and Waiver of Potential Conflict Dear Craig: The purpose of this letter is to seek a waiver of any potential conflict of interest in connection with the work we have been asked to do for RCN, a corporation that provides telecommunications and cable services to residential customers. Your consent is needed to waive this potential conflict of interest. Under the Oregon Code of Professional Responsibility Disciplinary Rules ("DR"), an attorney may not represent clients whose "objective personal, business or property interests... are adverse." DR 5-105(A)(2). Also, under the Disciplinary Rules, an attorney may not oppose a current client, even on an unrelated matter, without full disclosure and consent. DR 10-101(B) provides: "'Full disclosure' means an explanation sufficient to apprise the recipient of the potential adverse impact on the recipient, of the matter to which the recipient is asked to consent. '[F]ull disclosure' shall also include a recommendation that the recipient seek independent legal advice to determine if consent should be given. Full disclosure shall be contemporaneously confirmed in writing." Preston Gates & Ellis LLP presently represents the City of Tigard on municipal finance issues. The work we have been asked to do for RCN concerns assisting and advising RCN in its cable franchise negotiations with the Metropolitan Area Communications Commission ("MACC") and its telecommunications franchise negotiations with Tigard.

HR Dir. DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Should the City Council adopt the updated Citywide Personnel Policies STAFF RECOMMENDATION Council adopt the proposed updated Personnel Policies for City employees INFORMATION SUMMARY The Personnel Policies for City employees have not been comprehensively reviewed and updated since 1987.These policies have been contained in two documents titled: a) City Council Policies, and b) Administrative Rules and Regulations. The Executive Staff, comprised of the City Manager and department directors, reviewed all of these personnel policies and administrative rules in detail to make certain that they reflected the City's current practices and philosophies for personnel management as well as appropriate federal, state and local law. The attached Exhibit A combines all of those updated policies into one document and represents the proposed new City Personnel Policies. The City Personnel Polices, which we are asking your Council to approve at this time, primarily represent broad personnel policies and rules that apply to all City employees such as Code of Ethics, Conduct, Equal Employment, Non-Harassment, Safety, etc. In those few instances where an existing collective bargaining agreement with the City differ from these rules, the language in the bargaining agreement prevails. As previously mentioned, most of these policies are existing policies, some of which have been modified to reflect the City's administrative direction, workplace philosophy, and/or employment law. Other articles are newly created, such as: a) Drug Free Workplace - City policies on drugs effecting work and the workplace b) Electronic Communications - telephone, internet, cell phone, and e-mail policies c) Classification Plan - polices and procedures for administration of the job classification system d) Compensation Administration - policies and procedures for salary administration e) Family Medical Leave Act - City procedures and polices related to the FMLA f) Reporting Improper Government Action - procedures for employees reporting improper government activities g) Workplace Violence - inappropriate behavior in the workplace In reviewing the proposed rules, there was some objection by some employees to the new proposed rule regarding prohibiting smokeless tobacco in any City vehicle. Executive staff rereviewed this matter but felt it was needed to establish this policy. We respectfully request your Council's approval of these updated personnel policies. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Not applicable VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY While not directly related to the ongoing Visioning Project, the updated City Personnel Policies reflect the City of Tigard's current and future human resources philosophy and practices for its workforce. FISCAL NOTES Not applicable i:kitywide\s=.dot PERSONNEL POLICIES Personnel Policies 57.0 and 58.0 removed from No. 57.0 consideration by Council on 3/14/00, when Resolution No. 00-08 was adopted. Policies 57.0 and 58.0 will be discussed/considered at a later USE OF CITY OWNED VEHICLES: date. Cathy Wheatley, 3/15/00 In the event a work assignment requires the use of a City owned vehicle, the employee is required to be qualified and possess the appropriate class of license for the type of vehicle used. The employee shall immediately report any limitation on his/her ability to safely operate the vehicle or any change in his/her licensing status to the employee's supervisor or department director. Failure to report may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. City vehicles are to be used only in the performance of official City business; however, personnel whose work assignment is primarily in the field may utilize their assigned City vehicle during meal and rest periods for personal business as approved by the employee's supervisor. Employees doing so must conduct themselves in a manner which does not bring discredit upon the City or incur additional costs for fuel or vehicle maintenance. The following additional guidelines for the use of a City owned vehicle shall apply: • Any out-of-pocket expenses such as fuel, emergency repairs, parking or tolls shall be reimbursed upon presentation of receipts; O No reimbursement will be made for parking fines or any other charge levied for violation of a motor vehicle law; ® Family members or other non-City employees shall not be transported in City vehicles except as specifically authorized by the Department Head or consistent with department policy or in cases in which the City vehicle is permanently assigned to the employee as a provision of an employment contract; Temporary employees, contractors or volunteers are prohibited from driving a City vehicle without the specific authorization of the department director, verification of appropriate motor vehicle license and approval by the Risk Manager; o There shall be no smoking or use of smokeless tobacco products in any City a vehicle. 60 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 58.0 SMOKE FREE WORK ENVIRONMENT The City seeks to promote a safe, healthy and pleasant work environment for all employees and the public. In response to increasing evidence showing that tobacco smoke creates a health hazard for persons exposed to the smoke, all city facilities, including city-owned buildings, vehicles, individual employee offices, and offices or other facilitates rented or leased by the City will be smoke free. Smokeless tobacco is also prohibited. Signs will be posted in designated locations outside of the buildings where employees may step outside to smoke. Visitor's to any of the City's facilities will be requested to comply with the City's efforts to maintain a smoke free environment. 61 MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council FROM: Cathy Wheatley, City Recorde C; t ` j DATE: March 6, 2000 SUBJECT: City Personnel Policies The attached Personnel Policies document is the same information sent in the March 3 Council Newsletter, which was forwarded at that time to give you adequate time to review this material. This item will be discussed during the March 14, 2000, City Council Study Session and is scheduled for adoption on the Consent Agenda for that same meeting.

They are also meant to provide employees with an understanding of what is expected of them and to provide consistent, fair and uniform treatment to all. The rules and procedures contained herein shall apply to all City employees. Where the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement with the City differ from these rules, the language in the bargaining agreement shall prevail. The City reserves the right to change any of these policies and procedures at any time. Although it is the City's policy not to terminate the employment relationship with the City unless it has just cause to do so, these policies *and procedures do not and are not intended to constitute a contract of employment or a promise or guarantee of specific treatment in specific situations. AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY: The Mayor and the City Council shall have authority over all matters -of personnel administration through adoption and implementation of the City budget, pay plans, collective bargaining agreements, and ordinances and resolutions adopting and/or amending the personnel rules and regulations. The City Manager may interpret the language of the rules and regulations in any case where interpretation is in question, and may specifically delegate the authority for the enforcement of these rules and regulations. The City Manager shall be responsible for ensuring the effective implementation of these rules and regulations and may further establish, amend or otherwise modify these rules and regulations pursuant to City Council policies. The City Manager shall advise the City Council on any changes concerning these rules and regulations. I 1 Mill PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 31.0 CODE OF ETHICS FOR CITY EMPLOYEES: City employees have a special responsibility to act on behalf of the public good and to ensure that the public's trust in government is respected. Public service requires a continual effort on behalf of employees to guard against conduct that is not only illegal but also conduct that could appear inappropriate to a reasonable observer even if the conduct is not against the law. Just because an action is legal doesn't necessarily mean it is right or good. Conduct which could appear dishonest to an observer will undermine the public trust even if the conduct is not illegal. The code of ethics is intended to convey the general expectations of what is considered to be appropriate conduct for a City employee. City employees shall not serve on City policy boards or committees except as specifically provided by ordinance or as required to perform as part of their official City duties. City employees may not use City time to participate in matters of personal interest. When giving testimony unrelated to their assigned City responsibilities, City employees should recognize themselves as private citizens and not use information or facts that have come to them by virtue of their employment and are not subject to disclosure to the public. In matters of personal interest, employees should conduct themselves so as not to impair their working relationship with other employees or with public officials. In general, City employees are encouraged to not accept personal gifts. However, State law does provide certain guidelines for the receipt of gifts as a public employee and the City of Tigard will comply with those standards. Pursuant to ORS (Oregon Revised Statutes) Chapter 244, Government Standards and Practices, the following restrictions apply to the acceptance of gifts or gratuities: • City employees may receive food, lodging and travel when participating in an event which is related to the employee's official position and when the employee is appearing in his/her official capacity. Food and/or beverages consumed by the employee in the presence of the purchaser or provided is acceptable. Receiving entertainment gifts is acceptable only a) when the entertainment is experienced in the presence of the provider, and b) when the value of the entertainment does not exceed $100 per person on a single occasion and is not greater than $250 in any o6e calendar year. Gifts exchanged between cc-workers for occasions such as birthdays and holidays are not prohibited. Gifts for employee's awards, volunteers and community cooperation are also allowed. 2 } • Employees shall not accept any special favor, gifts, or gratuities resulting from or related to employment with the City unless otherwise specified in this policy. In this regard, the appearance of impropriety can be as damaging as actual impropriety and is equally to be avoided. • Department Heads may allow acceptance of nonmonetary gifts of nominal value (e,g., under $100) at holidays or special occasions which are available to be shared by all employees in a nonbiased or nondiscriminatory manner or on behalf of an area nonprofit public service agency. Any person who observes unlawful or improper action(s) by a City employee is expected to report them. The matter should be reported to the employee's immediate supervisor. If the supervisor appears to be involved in the improper action, the report can be made to the department director, City Manager, or Human Resources. 3 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 32.0 CONDUCT AND APPEARANCE OF CITY EMPLOYEES The City of Tigard is committed to providing efficient, courteous, friendly service to its citizens consistent with its mission statement, and embodying the highest standards of public service.

Harassment of any employee based on these distinctions is also inappropriate, offensive and illegal, and will not be tolerated. Any employee found to have engaged in harassment will be subject to disciplinary procedures up to and including dismissal. These policies extend to all areas of employment, benefits, conditions, terms and privileges of service. It is the responsibility of all employees, managers and supervisors to understand and comply with these polices. Supervisors have the additional responsibility to support these policies, and to take prompt, corrective action if harassment is found to have occurred. Management is expected to encourage and support constructive and open communications in order to prevent the development of hostile or discriminatory work environments. Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination and an unlawful employment practice under. Title VII, defined as deliberate or repeated behavior of a sexual nature which is unwelcome. Harassing behaviors are judged not by the perceptions of intent of the alleged harasser, but by how the recipient and reasonable people similar to the recipient perceive the behavior. There are two major forms: 1) "Quid Pro Quo", which refers to requiring an employee or co-worker to submit to unwelcome behavior as a condition of employment 2) "Hostile Work Environment", which refers to behavior that creates or fosters an unwelcome or abusive work environment. Harassment can include verbal behaviors such as unwanted sexual comments, suggestions, jokes, or pressure for sexual favors; and non-verbal behaviors such as suggestive looks or leering, and physical behavior such as pats, squeezes, or repeatedly brushing against someone's body. Some specific examples of inappropriate or illegal behaviors include: • Negative or offensive comments, jokes or suggestions about another employee's gender or sexuality; 7 ss Slang, names or labels such as "honey", "sweetie", "boy", "girl", that others find offensive;; e Obscene or lewd sexual comments, jokes, suggestions, or innuendoes; • Talking about or calling attention to another employee's body or sexual characteristics in a negative or embarrassing way; e Laughing at, ignoring or not taking seriously an employee who experiences sexual harassment; • Blaming the victims or sexual harassment for causing the problems; O Continuing certain behavior after a co-worker has objected to that behavior; • Displaying sexual pictures, cartoons, or calendar's on any City property.

An employee who uses sexual behavior to create a hostile work environment for another employee or to implicitly or explicitly threaten, coerce, influence or affect the employment, job status, salary or performance of another employee is engaging in sexual harassment. Any intimidation, coercion, discrimination or retaliation against an individual who files a complaint or who testifies, assists, or participates in any manner in an investigation will not be tolerated. All such acts against complainants or other participants should be immediately reported to the supervisor, manager, department director or Human Resources. Complaint Procedure: It is critical that employees who believe that they have been subjected to discrimination or harassment discuss the matter with their supervisor immediately. Employees are encouraged but not required, as a first step, to confront the person who harassed them and state their objection to the offensive behavior when it occurs. When the employee believes that he/she is being harassed or discriminated against by their supervisor, they should notify their department director, or any other supervisor, manager or director, or they may contact Human Resources. Employees who believe that they have witnessed another employee being harassed or discriminated against should also follow this procedure. Reports or harassment or discrimination shall be investigated promptly. All employees involved in an alleged case of harassment and/or discrimination will be treated with respect and courtesy. Confidentiality will be maintained as far as practical given the complaint, law and the investigation procedure. If the incident is isolated and of a less 8 n serious nature, the supervisor may attempt to resolve it informally. In any case, the supervisor (or person responding to the -complaint) is required to document the incident and action taken, and forward a copy to the department director and the Human Resources Director. 9 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 34.0 JOB ATTENDANCE In accordance with the City's commitment to provide the highest level of public service to its citizens, each employee is required to meet certain standards of attendance and punctuality. Continued employment carries with it the personal responsibility of each employee to be on the job on time every scheduled work day.

Employees who do not maintain a satisfactory record of attendance and punctuality will be subject to disciplinary procedures up to and including termination. Hours of Work/Work Schedules: A work day and work week shall be established by the department director which is consistent with the law, collective bargaining agreements and operating needs of the department, and kept on file with the Payroll Division of the Finance Department.

Telecommuting may be instituted on a full or part time basis with the prior approval of the department director if, based on a full analysis of the employee's position, it is determined that the nature of the duties and - responsibilities of the position qualify for telecommuting, the. cost to the City of required supplies and equipment is justified, and there is significant benefit to the public service in instituting a telecommuting option. 12 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 35.0 DRUG FREE WORKPLACE: The City of Tigard recognizes that the use of drugs and alcohol which adversely affect job performance may constitute a serious threat to the health and safety of the public and employees and to the-efficient delivery of City services.

The City Manager may waive the provisions of this rule in cases where the sale of goods on City property will not interfere with the operations of the City nor be in conflict with any other rule, regulation or law. 26 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 44.0 WRITTEN DEPARTMENTAL RULES AND STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES Each department director may establish such written rules and standard operating procedures as may be deemed necessary for the efficient and orderly administration of their department.

Employees should have no expectation of privacy in connection with the transmission, receipt, or storage of information in these electronic communication devices. The City follows the standards and practices set by the Oregon Government Standards and Practices Commission. TelenhonesNoice Mail The ability to make outgoing and receive incoming telephone calls is an essential element of the City of Tigard's ability to provide service to the public. The City's telephones and voice mail system are intended to be used only for official business. The City believes, however, there are occasions when employees may use telephones for personal purposes without such usage being at odds with the law. It is normal practice by both public and private employers to permit employees to use business telephones to talk to family members, make medical appointments, schedule service technicians, confer with children's schools, and take care of any of a variety of other matters which can only be accomplished during "regular" work hours. The City believes it is less disruptive to permit employees to make such personal calls at their workstation than to require'an employee to take a break or leave from work to take care of personal matters. Personal telephone calls made during working hours from City telephones should, of course, be brief and infrequent. Personal long distance calls, even if the employee reimburses the City for the cost, may not be made on City telephones. If it is necessary for an employee to make personal long distance calls while at work, such calls must be made with the employee's personal calling card, by placing a collect call, or by calling from a pay phone. 28 Cellular Telephones The City provides cellular phones to their employees specifically to facilitate the carrying out of official business. The City's cellular phones afe not for the convenience or personal use of employees. The instances when an employee may use a City cellular phone for personal purposes are limited. An example of an occasion when an employee's personal use of a City cellular phone would not violate Oregon Government Standards and Practices Commission guidelines would be to contact a spouse or childcare provider to advise that the employee is going to be late getting home or picking up children for a reason . direct) related to official duties such as a meeting which ran later than expected or a last minute change of schedule. Another permitted personal use of a City cellular phone by an employee would be receiving an incoming call regarding a family emergency. Employee will not be required to reimburse the City when the cellular telephone call follows these guidelines., that is, the personal call is directly related to official duties. A City employee cannot make a personal cellular call even if he or she intends to reimburse the City at a higher rate than that generally available to the public. Computers/[nternet/E-mail Employees may not generally use computers owned by the City for personal purposes. However, there are some instances in which the City believes the use of computers for personal purposes would not violate the Oregon Government Standards and Practices Commission guidelines. For example, an allowable use would be the preparation of application materials for a different position with the City, or term papers for a City- sponsored class. Employees cannot use computers and the Internet for personal purposes that could potentially result in a personal financial gain. Law specifically prohibits use of City- owned equipment to avoid financial expense or for personal financial gain. i 29 The personal use of City computers and the Internet is permitted during lunch period, 1 hour before the normal work hours, 1 hour after the nonnal work hours, and the time between the end of an employee's "wor'lcshift" and the beginning of an evening meeting that the City requires the employee to attend. No personal use of computers or the Internet shall be allowed on an employee's day off unless the use is related to an educational purpose that is consistent with the City's policies and has been approved by the employee's supervisor. The City has equipped their computers with access to the Internet in order to have access to information and to provide information to the public. Personal use of the Internet is subject to the same considerations as the use of the computer itself. If an employee uses Internet access through the City's equipment in order to avoid the financial expenses of subscribing to an Internet service as a personal expense, it is a violation of the law. City equipment may not be used at any time to access inappropriate sites or to transmit or receive inappropriate information. Pornography, hate groups, and off shore gambling are examples of inappropriate sites and access _to_ them is a misuse of City property. Electronic mail (e-mail) is a communication tool provided to City employees to assist them in the performance of their job duties. E-mail is transported and processed via the Internet, so sending and receiving e-mail is considered a type of Internet usage. An employee who uses the e-mail system for personal or improper reasons bears any responsibility that might arise from that usage. The City's e-mail system should not be used to produce a document that, using good judgment, would not be produced using any other form of office communication. Use of the City's e-mail system for commercial purposes or illegal activities is prohibited including the sending of "classified ad" types of information. 30 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 46.0 NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION The Human Resources Director or other designated staff: member in Human Resources shall conduct a "new hire" orientation meeting with all newly hired employees. It shall be the responsibility of the department in which the employee has been hired to ensure that the new employee reports to Human Resources on their first day of employment to complete their Verification of Employment (1-9) and W4 forms. Individual departments are also responsible for supplementing the "new hire" orientation by providing the new employee with more detailed information relating to operations of the department. d 5 31 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 47.0 VOLUNTARY RESIGNATIONS: To voluntarily resign or retire in good standing, an employee must submit a written letter of resignation or letter stating intent to retire to their supervisor a minimum of ten (10) working days prior to the effective date of resignation or retirement; unless covered by an employment agreement in which case the provisions of such agreement shall prevail. Failure to submit a timely written resignation or notice of intent to retire may be cause to exclude the individual from future employment opportunities with the City. A resignation may be accepted immediately upon receipt when the notice requirement is waived by the department director. Upon receipt of the written letter of resignation or notice, the supervisor shall prepare and obtain the employee's signature on a Personnel Action form and forward that form to Human Resources with the original letter of resignation/retirement attached. A copy of the letter may be retained in the department. The supervisor shall ensure that all City property is returned by the employee on or before the effective date of resignation/retirement, and that arrangements are made for - previous tuition reimbursement to be refunded to the City by the employee if appropriate. The supervisor shall advise the employee to contact Human Resources regarding scheduling an exit interview. At the discretion of the Department Director, with the approval of the City Manager, an employee may be permitted to withdraw his/her resignation/retirement request at any time up to and including his/her last day of employment, provided the position has not already been filed. However, the employee may not be reinstated after leaving City employment without participating in an authorized selection process. Employees who are absent from work without approved leaves for a period of three consecutive work days may be considered by the City to have abandoned their position and resigned from the City service. 32 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 48.0 _ PERFORMANCE REVIEWS: Employee performance reviews are an essential tool in the communication process between the employee and their immediate supervisor. The goal of the employee performance review process is to establish a pattern of expected work habits, give employees and supervisors an opportunity to review and reset goals, reward or acknowledge good performance, create incentives, and identify and correct improper behavior or activity and/or substandard work performance. Performance reviews are to be completed on the form prescribed by Human Resources. It shall be the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure that performance reviews are completed appropriately and by the scheduled due date. The original performance review will be placed in the employee's personnel file, and the employee will be provided with a copy of the review. The employee may respond in writing to the performance review or any aspect of that review, and the response will also be placed in the employee's personnel file. Probationary employees will participate in an initial goal setting interview/review and will receive a performance review at the end of six (6) months of employment. This date establishes the employee's merit review date, which can only be changed upon promotion, layoff or leave without pay. Upon completion of the probationary period, as documented by a satisfactory performance review, the employee shall receive a merit increase. Thereafter, regular performance reviews will occur annually on the employee's merit review date. Contingent on continued satisfactory performance, an employee shall receive a merit increase in conjunction with the performance review until the employee reaches the maximum salary in his/her salary range. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the supervisor from conducting more frequent performance or progress reviews. A supervisor may initiate a special performance/progress review whenever a special review is deemed necessary. a i All performance reviews, accompanied by a personnel action form, shall be submitted to Human Resources. The personnel action form is required whether or not a merit increase is granted. 3 33 An employee on leave without pay will have his/her merit review date adjusted to reflect the unpaid time. This adjustment will not apply to those on unpaid military leave whose _ merit review date will not be changed to reflect time off without pay. The department director may elect to extend an employee°s probationary period for a maximum of three (3) months or to deny a merit increase from a non-probationary employee. Performance reviews are not subject to appeal or the complaint process. 34 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 49.0 PAY DATES AND PAYROLL ADVANCES The established pay cycle for the City is biweekly (every other Thursday). When the regular payday is a holiday, paychecks shall be issued on the previous business day. Employees may elect to have their paychecks directly deposited to one or more financial institutions. This option is administered through the Payroll Division of the Finance Department. Emergency Advance Paychecks: In extraordinary circumstances an employee may receive an emergency advance on wages earned. An employee needing an emergency advance on wages shall request such advance in writing to his/her supervisor stating the reason for the emergency request. The emergency advance is limited to twenty-five percent (25%) of the net pay for hours worked during the pay period, and is limited to one in a six month period. Approval is at the sole discretion of the department director. Early Paychecks: If an employee who is not participating in the direct deposit option will be on vacation or other approved leave on payday, a request for an advance paycheck may be made during the pay period preceding the pay period for which the advance is requested, and if the request is granted, the advance check will be issued with the payroll check for the pay period prior to the payday on which the employee will be on leave. Advance paychecks are limited to one in a six month period. Approval is at the sole discretion of the department director. The six month period limitation for each type is defined as July 1st to December 31st and January 1st through June 30th. 35 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 50.0 TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES/INTERN EMPLOYMENT/CONTRACTED SERVICES: Temporary Employees: Temporary employees may be hired to perform temporary or seasonal work whose anticipated duration is less than 1,040 hours in a year. Employment may be terminated at the sole discretion of the department director and/or City Manager. Temporary employees are not eligible to participate in the fringe benefit package offered. to regular employees and do not receive sick leave, vacation, or holiday pay. A temporary employee may apply for regular City positions as an internal candidate. Temporary employees are covered by the City's liability and worker's compensation insurance, and may be eligible for unemployment compensation upon termination pursuant to law. An offer of temporary appointment shall be made in writing and shall clearly state the temporary nature of the work, expected duration of employment, a statement that the employment may be terminated at any time at the sole discretion of the City, and the absence of any fringe benefits. When a department utilizes the services of a temporary service agency neither a written offer of employment nor a Personnel Action form is required. Temporary employees, including agency personnel, are required to pass a pre-employment drug screen and may be subject to verification of applicable motor vehicle license and acceptable driving record prior to employment with the City. It is the obligation of the hiring department to maintain records of the hours worked by temporary employees and to ensure that employment does not exceed the limit established in applicable labor agreements. Intern Employment: The City may place, or contract with other agencies to place, student interns on projects of limited duration with the City. An intern is usually a full or part time student at an accredited college or university whose work with the City is within their course of study. Guidelines for the employment of student interns are as follows: • Interns shall be required to pass a pre-employment drug screen prior to appointment; 36 Ell If applicable to the duties of the position, a student intem may be required to possess a valid driver's license and to show proof of an acceptable driving record prior to appointment; o Student interns receive no benefits, and are not eligible for vacation, sick leave or holiday pay; • Interns may be paid at the rate specified by the educational institution through which they were hired, or, if there is no rate specified, the department may determine an appropriate wage; • Student interns shall be covered by the City's general liability and worker's compensation insurance coverage, but shall not receive no_ r accrue any other benefits generally received by regular employees. Contracted Services: The City may utilize the services of an independent contractor to meet short term non- recurrent or special project needs. It shall be the department director's responsibility to ensure that the contractor meets all of the criteria under ORS 670.600 which defines the standards for an independent contractor (versus an employee) and possesses all applicable certificates of insurance. ORS 670.600 provides the following standards in order for a business entity providing labor or services to be considered an independent contractor. They must be: • free from direction and control over the way the work is done except insofar as the employer accepts or rejects the results of the work; • responsible for obtaining all applicable business registrations or licenses; • furnish the necessary tools or equipment; • determine his or her own work hours; • have the authority to hire and fire other employees to perform the labor or services; 37 • receive payment upon completion of the performance or an annual or periodic retainer, • represent to the public that they are an established business and typically work for two or more different persons during the course of a year, • pays federal or state income taxes in the name of the business, or a Schedule C on a personal tax return. Departments may not enter into contracts to provide labor or services with individuals who do not qualify as independent contractors under the law. 38 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 51.0 CLASSIFICATION PLAN: Preparation The purpose of the classification plan is to provide a complete systematic and continuous inventory of all job classifications in the City and to provide accurate descriptions and specifications for each class. The Classification Plan shall standardize titles, each of which shall be indicative of a definite range of duties, authority and responsibilities. Each classification shall be described in a written specification to include an appropriate titles, a statement of the duties and responsibilities involved, supervision exercised and received, and the minimum qualifications required for applicants to the position. Any "working title" desired may be used when authorized by the department director, however the unofficial job titles will have no bearing on the official designated classification title of any position or employee. Maintenance of the Plan The Human Resources Director shall be responsible for the administration and maintenance of the classification plan. Human Resources shall also periodically review the classification of positions and audit their duties and responsibilities, making changes as necessary to keep the plan up to date. The Human Resources Director, with recommendations from department directors, will allocate positions to the appropriate classification and may make revisions in the classification plan including the addition of new classes, combination and/or revision of existing classes, and deletion of obsolete classes. Class Descriptions Class descriptions are written statements of each class included in the classification plan. Descriptions include a class title, a statement describing the purpose and distinguishing characteristics of positions in the class, representative examples of work performed, supervision exercised, supervision received, and general recruiting indicators (knowledge, skills, abilities, experience and training) that a person should possess to successfully perform the work. Necessary requirements such as licenses or certifications are also included. 39 ~'Em Kill Specifications are descriptive and not restrictive and do not prescribe each and every specific duty of any position, nor do they limit the authority of management in assigning work. A class specification shall be liberally construed as a general description of the work characteristics of similar positions properly allocated to that class. Specifications are intended to indicate the kinds of positions allocated to the various classes as determined by their duties, responsibilities and minimum qualifications and should be interpreted as a whole and in relation to others in the classification plan. Particular phrases or examples shall not be isolated and treated as a full definition'of the class. Nothing in the class specification is to be -interpreted as restricting a supervisor from assigning an employee of one class to perform some of the duties of a higher class or lower class for a limited period of time. Allocation of Positions Each position shall be allocated to one of the classes of the approved classification plan. In determining the class to which any position is allocated, the specification describing each class shall be considered as a whole, comparing general duties, responsibilities, minimum qualifications and relationships to other positions in order to obtain an inclusive picture of the position and placement into an appropriate class. The Human Resources Department shall analyze the position and assign it to the appropriate class within the Classification Plan. A new class specification shall be prepared to cover each additional position which is created and for which the classification plan does not provide a satisfactory class description. Employees shall be notified of the allocation of their position, and the class title as it appears on the class specification shall be used to designate the position on official records and payroll. Reclassification A reclassification may occur when job content changes substantially, requiring the position to be assigned to a different classification and/or pay range. Managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring that the duties assigned to employee are consistent with their classification and reasonably fit within the overall concept of that class. Managers and supervisors are also responsible for making timely requests for classification reviews when there is a question regarding the classification allocation of a position or positions. If the duties of an existing position change sufficiently so that the current classification may no longer be appropriate, a request for a classification review shall be submitted to Human Resources, preferably prior to the change in assigned duties and responsibilities. An employee may also initiate a request to their supervisor for a reclassification review. Reclassification will not be used to: a) avoid restrictions 40 concerning demotions and promotions, or b) make a change in salary in the absence of a significant change in assigned duties and responsibilities. The request must be in writing and must include all requested supporting documentation required for a decision to be made. The Human Resources Director may initiate a classification review at any time. The effective date of the reclassification action shall be the date the written request for reclassification and all required supporting documentation is filed with Human Resources. Managers may assign duties that reasonably fit within the overall, broad concept of the classification. A manager may also assign duties outside the broad parameters of a classification in cases of a bona fide emergency affecting the health, safety and welfare of the community for a specific duration to deal with that emergency, or in temporary "working out of class" -situations. An employee occupying a position that has been reclassified may be retained in the position provided that a) Human Recourses certifies that the incumbent possesses the minimum qualifications of the new class, and b) the incumbent has been performing the duties of the higher or lower classification prior to the position audit and c) the department director determines that the performance of the incumbent has been satisfactory. Reclassified employees meeting the above criteria will not serve a new probationary period and their merit date will not change. If all of the above conditions - cannot be met, the position will be open for recruitment. An employee who is not appointed to the reclassified position will be transferred or demoted to a suitable, vacant position, provided that they are qualified to perform the work, or will be separated from employment if no other suitable, vacant position exists. 41 Y PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 52.0 COMPENSATION: The City is interested in providing a fair and equitable compensation plan that retains and attracts qualified employees to the organization. The salary plans for City employees are developed through the collective bargaining process for those employees represented by bargaining units, and by the City Manager and City Council for those supervisory, management and non-represented employees. In consultation with the City Manager, the Human Resources Director shall recommend to the City Council for adoption, the City's salary plans, compensation policies and any changes necessary. The salary plans list the salary ranges in the plan for each classification, and a minimum and maximum rate of pay and such intermediate rates as are considered necessary and equitable. Flat rates may be used instead of salary ranges where appropriate. Each classification shall be assigned a salary range, and pay for any position in that classification must be within that salary range except as approved by the City Manager. Development and Adoption Compensation rates for City classifications shall be set in accordance with the City compensation policies, subject to collective bargaining where applicable. Compensation policies shall be administered in .a fair and consistent manner. Adjustments to assigned ranges for individual classifications, and presentation to Council of new classifications and ranges, shall generally be done in conjunction with the annual budgetary process, except where the Human Resources Director determines that: • a substantial change in the duties and responsibilities of the classification necessitates a salary adjustment, or; • an inordinate amount of turnover within the classification is attributed to an inadequate salary level, thereby necessitating an immediate salary review; or • difficulty in recruitment of qualified candidates for a classification is attributed to an inadequate salary level, thereby necessitating an immediate salary adjustment. 42 Annual Review Annually, prior to the adoption of the budget, the Human Resources Director shall submit a recommended compensation plan for all non-bargaining unit City employees to the City Manager for consideration by the City Council. The Council may provide a general salary adjustment to the salary plan and this is distinguished from a merit salary increase. Administration Individual wages are determined by progression through the steps of the classification range as provided below, or within the collective bargaining agreement. Eligibility for advancement through the salary range will be delayed by layoffs or certain unpaid leaves of absence. Beginning Salary Normally an employee will be appointed at the first step of the range established for the classification. Appointments at higher steps will be presented in writing to the City Manager for final approval. The factors to be reviewed in approving appointment beyond the first step may include the availability of applicants with the qualifications for the vacant position, qualifications of all available applicants, the resulting relationship to other similar classifications, a substantially higher level than the recruiting indicators of training, experience, or other qualifications of the candidate, and the time available to continue the recruitment process. Budget considerations will be an important factor in the recommendation. Merit Increases Merit increases shall be granted based on satisfactory performance at the completion of twelve months of employment from the date of satisfactory completion of the probationary period, and every twelve months thereafter, except as provided in union contracts'. When an employee reaches the final step or maximum rate of the salary range no more merit increase salary adjustments will occur. Promotions b A promotion is an appointment to a position in a classification which has a higher maximum salary rate than the employee's present classification. Normally, the employee shall receive the nearest higher salary, equal to or greater than five percent (5%) above the employee's current salary in the new range on the date of promotion. In no event shall a promoted employee's salary be less than the starting pay of the salary range for the new classification. The department director who believes that the promotion should be made at a higher rate within the new range must present his/her request in writing to the Human Resources Director, who will review the matter and 43 make a recommendation to the City Manager. Factors such as the qualifications and prior experience of the candidate as well as the City budget will be considered. Employees who are promoted will be required to serve a new probationary period, and their merit date will change to the date of their promotion. Demotions A demotion is an appointment to a position in a classification which has a lower maximum salary rate than the employee's present classification or a reduction in rate to a lower step on the range. When a demotion occurs, the department director shall recommend one of two salary options: (1) a salary for the demoted employee on one of the steps within the salary range of the lower classification, or (2) that the employee's salary be set at not higher than ten percent (10%) over the top step in the salary range of the lower classification and designated by "red circle" rating. The application of any of these options shall not result in an employee receiving a higher salary. These options shall also apply to demotions in lieu of layoff. The City Manager has the authority to grant approval of "red circle" ratings where the salary is to exceed the lower range. An employee's merit date shall remain the same when a demotion occurs. Temporary Employees Temporary employees usually will be paid at a rate within the salary range for the class which most nearly describes the nature of the duties assigned to the employee. Salary Range Changes When the salary range for a classification is changed, the employee's pay will be based on the same step or same relative position in the new range as the old range. This change will not alter the employee's merit date. Salary range adjustments normally are made as part of the budgetary process and are to be distinguished from merit salary increases. Salary range changes do not recognize length or quality of service. Classification Transfer When an employee is appointed to a position in a different classification which has the same pay range, the empioyee's pay remains the same. The employee will be required to serve a probationary period in the classification if he/she has not previously served a probationary period in the classification. The employee will retain the same merit date. Reclassification A reclassification may occur when the job content changes substantially, requiring the position to be assigned to a different classification and/or pay range. An employee whose position is reclassified to a higher classification with a higher maximum salary rate will receive a pay increase equal to at least 5% or the nearest step, whichever is 44 greater. An employee may not be placed lower than the first step of the range or above the top step of the range. When an employee is reclassified to a lower classification the salary may be decreased if the salary is higher than the highest step of the new salary range or the salary may be frozen until the new range reaches the employee's present pay level. Employees will not be required to serve a new probationary period if they are retained in the reclassified position provided they meet the conditions specified under the article "Classification Plan", and their merit date will not change. Working Out Of Classification Except for on the job training purposes, whenever an employee is required to perform any substantial portion of duties relative to tasks assigned in a higher level of classification above that in which the employee is normally classified for more than a. total of fifteen (15) consecutive or nonconsecutive days (eight (8) hours or any portion thereof) the employee shall be paid for such work at the rate of ten percent 10% above their current salary or the first step of the assigned higher classification work, whichever is greater, not to exceed the maximum step of the higher salary range. Working out of classification must be approved in advance by the department director. Supervisory Pay Whenever an employee is temporarily assigned the added responsibility for supervision of a work unit beyond their regular duties but they are not performing a substantial portion of the duties of a higher supervisory class, the department director shall pay that employee an additional rate of five percent (5%) added to the employee's regular wage for the period the employee is given the added supervisory responsibilities. Jury/Witness Pav Employees will be paid at their standard rate of pay when they are required to report for jury duty or as a witness in cases in which the employee has no interest. Compensation received by the employee for serving on a jury will be paid to the City. Compensation received by the employee to cover travel and related expenses will be retained by the employee, unless otherwise paid by the City. It is the responsibility of the employee to report to work for the remainder of their normal shift if jury duty does not exceed the work day, or to make arrangements with their supervisor for approval of the use of accrued leave. 45 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 53.0 RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION The City of Tigard seeks to ensure that each position is filled by an employee whose experience, training and skills make him/her the best match for work of. the position.

The criteria for determining if a position lends itself to a job share arrangement include, but are not limited to those outlined below: • whether the arrangement hampers or assists departmental or City operations; • whether the job functions can easily be broken into parts or have a variety of unique duties or specific parts; • whether the normal work schedule allows the job to be shared on an equal basis during the pay period; • whether qualified individuals can be found to fill both parts of the position; • whether the amount of training required before a person can fully perform the job functions is cost effective. • whether arrangements can be made to accomplish the work assigned to the position in the absence of one or both employees filling the position. Job sharing arrangements are typically on a half day or half week basis. Filling of a job share position shall be in accordance with established recruiting and selection procedures. The following guidelines shall apply: • Job sharing will only be granted when it is consistent with City needs and where the department has demonstrated that the functions of the shared position can effectively be performed by two (2) persons; c The position to be shared must be an adopted and budgeted full time position; • All job sharing requests must be submitted under the signature of the department director and approved by the City Manager; 50 Each job sharer is required to work a total of twenty (20) hours per week in order to qualify for City benefits.

The City's family medical leave policy combines benefits required by the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and state law. EMPLOYEE ELIGIBILITY - An employee must have been employed by the City for at least 180 days for an average of 25 hours of work per week during the previous 180 days. Exception: The hourly prerequisite does not apply to parental leave. PERMISSIBLE REASONS FOR TAKING LEAVE • Birth of a child (also referred to as "Parental Leave'. • Placement of a child under the age of 18 (or older if the child is mentally or physically disabled) with the employee for adoption or foster care (also referred to as "Parental Leave"). Care of a family member (spouse, child, parent, or parent-in-law) with a serious health condition or for a child requiring home care due to illness extending longer than three days. Leave to care for a parent-in-law is only required by state law. (This type of leave may be referred to as "Serious Health Condition Leave. • To recover from or seek treatment for a serious health condition of the employee when the employee is unable to perform at least one essential function of his/her i regular position. Serious health conditions include on-the-job injuries, pregnancy- related disabilities, and prenatal care (may also be referred to as "Serious Health Condition Leave"). 3 ® To care for a child who suffers from an illness or injury that does not qualify as a a serious health condition but that requires home care (may also be referred to as "Sick Child Leave" and is only required by state law). If "Sick Child Leave" is requested to care for a child who does not have a serious health condition, the City has the right to 52 not approve the employee's request for leave when another family member is available to care for the child. DURATION OF. LEAVE • Twelve work weeks during a rolling 12 month period computed forward from the date the employee first uses FMLA leave. • Taking leave on an intermittent basis or on a reduced work schedule may be permitted by the City if necessary to take care of an ill family member or because of the employee's own health condition. In either case, documentation by a medical professional is necessary. Leave of this nature must be approved in advance by the City and employees must make a reasonable effort to minimize disruption in the work unit. Intermittent leave will be calculated on an hourly basis which computes to 480 hours per year. Parental leave must be taken within 12 months after the birth/placement of a child. Leave may be taken non-consecutively, but if more than 2 nonconsecutive leaves are taken within the 12 month period, the employee must receive prior authorization from the City Manager or Human Resources Director. • Employees who take parental leave are also entitled to an additional 12 weeks of family leave to care for a sick child. • Female employees who must take leave because of a pregnancy-related disability which prevents the employee from performing any available job duties as documented by the employee's treating physician or health care provider, may take an additional 12 weeks for other purposes approved under the law. Sometimes more than one type of leave may apply to a situation. Where allowed by federal or state law, leaves will run concurrently. This means that worker's compensation leave, leave for a non-industrial injury or illness (including paid leave such as sick leave), leave as a reasonable accommodation for a qualified individual with a disability, paid j vacation used for a family leave qualifying reason, and federal family medical leave and state family medical leave may all run concurrently and be counted against the employee's annual family medical leave entitlement. i i CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES o If the City (specifically the employee's supervisor, Human Resources, or any other management employee) acquires knowledge that an employee may need to take FMLA leave for any of the reasons specified in these policies, the City will inform the employee of their entitlement to request leave within 2 working days. 53 Human Resources will furnish the employee with a copy of this policy, a leave request form, and the required medical certification form. This information must be completed and returned to the employee's supervisor within the timelines stipulated under "Employee's Responsibilities." After the supervisor has acquired all the necessary signatures on the leave request form, it should be forwarded to Human Resources who will determine the employee's eligibility and make a entitlement designation within 2 working days of receipt of the completed request forms. Notification will be in writing. • It is the City's right and responsibility to determine and designate leave as FMLA if the eligibility standards are evident. Such a designation will be based on information obtained either from the employee or his/her spokesperson (e.g., spouse, parent, physician, etc.) in the event the employee is incapacitated. • If the City is unable to confirm that the requested leave qualifies as-FMLA leave, it may declare a preliminary designation regarding eligibility. However, upon receipt of the medical information, the City must either withdraw or finalize the preliminary designation in writing to the employee. SUPERVISOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES • When a supervisor becomes aware of a pending leave of absence which might qualify for FMLA leave, the supervisor will provide the employee with a brief summary of their FMLA rights and advise the employee to contact Human Resources for more details. The supervisor should advise Human Resources of this referral. e After the supervisor reviews the leave request, they must immediately forward the request form to the appropriate signing authority (i.e., Department Head, City Manager, Human Resource Director). It is the supervisor's responsibility to assure that all necessary signatures are acquired and that the signed leave request form is submitted to Human Resources within 1 working day after receipt from the employee. • All medical documentation must be forwarded to Human Resources. No medical files shall be retained at the supervisor's desk. It is also important to remember that the supervisor must protect the confidentiality of the employee. Information should be shared only on "as need to know" basis and no specifics should be shared with the employee's co-workers.

MEDICAL CERTIFICATION • The City requires written verification from the treating physician or health care provider at least 30 days prior to the start of the leave for an anticipated serious health condition relating to either the employee or the employee's family member on a form fumished by the City. • In cases where the serious health condition is unanticipated, the employee has 15 days from the date of the City's request to provide the required medical certification. s The City has the right to solicit a second and, if necessary, a third opinion to verify the health care provider's certification of a serious health condition. This verification will be at the City's expense. If the required medical certification does not validate the necessity for FMLA leave, the leave will be retracted. In this situation, employee's may be placed on unapproved leave of absence and the time originally counted toward their FMLA entitlement will be revoked. Y For employees on approved intermittent family medical leave, additional medical certification may be required upon expiration of the current medical certification or every 30 clays as deemed necessary by the City. ® The City also requires the employee to contact their supervisor with a status report at least every 30 days.

Employees must advise their supervisor of their late arrival to work or absence from work due to inclement weather as soon as possible. Overall, the City's policy is that employees will only be paid for hours worked. Employees who are authorized to report to work late or are authorized to leave early because of extremely hazardous weather conditions shall use accrued leave. Sick leave may not be used for lost time due to inclement weather conditions. Employees may, as an alternative, request authorization to make up missed time from their supervisor. If an employee determines that it is unsafe to report for work, they will be authorized to use accrued leave, other than sick leave, or may request authorization from their supervisor to make up the missed time if such time can be arranged to accommodate work needs of the department. If the City finds it necessary to close City Hall and/or other City facilities while employees are at work, employees will not automatically be released from work. On a case by case basis, employees may be reassigned to other duties such as assistance in the City's emergency operations center. Department directors will determine whether an employee is to be temporarily reassigned duties, or whether they may be released from work early. If they are released from work early, the employee may use accrued leave other than sick leave, or make arrangements with their supervisor to make up the missed time if such time can be arranged to accommodate work needs of the department. If City Hall and/or other City facilities are closed effective the beginning of the work day, employees will be allowed to take accrued leave other than sick leave, or make up the missed time with their supervisor's authorization. Exceptions to this situation will be those City employees required to report for work due to the nature of their job and/or its relationship to the emergency situation (i.e. police, public works, etc.) 59 SIEMENS 11 gillielloslill -05IMPIE111 PERSONNEL POLICIES No. 57.0 USE OF CITY OWNED VEHICLES: In the event a work assignment requires the use of a City owned vehicle, the employee is required to be qualified and possess the appropriate class of license for the type of vehicle used.

Public Purpose for Policy It Is in the public interest of the City of Tigard that Tiigard's officers and employees be free of the personal financial hardship resulting from having to defend claims and charges (other than "true" crimes punishable by imprisonment) which are beyond the scope of the OTCA (Oregon Claims Tort Act) and which arise out of their good faith performance of their duties. For the purpose of this policy, the City's "officers and employee's" include: City elected officers, members of the City's offi - ial advisory boards; committees and commissions, charter officers and all employees. General Rule The City will defend and indemnify any City officer or employee and pay the cost of defense and the amount of any judgments entered against the officer or employee. The City reserves the right to not defend or indemnify if the action or omission of the officer or employee was in bad faith and with malice. Good faith is absent if the officer or employee knew or reasonably should have known that the action or omission would violate the law, rule or regulation which he or she is charged with violating, or if the officer or employee acted contrary to the advice of legal counsel. Limitations on Defense and Indemnification of Crime Punishable by imprisonment In no event should the resources of the City be committed to the defense and indemnification of a City officer or employee charged with a crime punishable by i imprisonment unless the Council is satisfied that: a. The offense charged is based solely on the alleged negligence of the officer 3 or employee, and the officer or employee was not malfeasant in office nor willfully or wantonly neglectful of official duty; and/or, b. It appears that the allegedly criminal act or omission was done or omitted as a 62 conscious and good faith choice between evils in response to an emergency, or as a conscious and good faith attempt to protect persons from injury, disease, or to protect property from damage or destruction, either of which would have been likely and substantial had the officer or employee not acted in the manner charged; and/or, c. The only basis for charging the official is vicarious liability fbr the misconduct of a subordinate, and where the official clearly did not participate in or condone the subordinate's conduct knowing or having good reason to know it to be unlawful. Defense and Indemnification Conditional Any commitment of City resources, pursuant to this policy must be contingent on the Council's continued satisfaction that the conditions found to justify defense and indemnification continue to be met. Should it appear that the officer or employee has misstated or failed to disclose facts which, if known, would have changed the initial decision to defend and indemnify, the City's commitment to that person's defense and indemnification shall be withdrawn and the City shall be entitled to recover from that person any public funds expended on that person's defense and/or indemnification. Payment of Costs- Reimbursement of City Ordinarily the commitment to defense and indemnification of an officer or employee will involve direct payment of defense and indemnification costs as they are incurred. In any case, however, the Council may choose to commit only to reimbursement of validated expenses in the even the officer or employee is ultimately exonerated. If the particular law, rule or regulation under which the officer or employee has been charged provides for payment of costs and/or attorney fees if the officer or employee prevails, the City shall be entitled to reimbursement of any such costs and/or attorney fees paid by the city. No Entitlement to Defense and Indemnification Nothing in this policy should be construed to entitle any officer or employee to defense and indemnification. The intent of this policy is to vest discretion with the Council with certain restrictions as to when defense and indemnification funds may not be provided. In each case the Council should be guided by considerations of what is in the best interest of the City of Tigard subject to the above conditions and restrictions. Defense of ORS Chapter 244 Claims In the event a claim is made against any officer or employee pursuant to ORS Chapter 63 244 (also known as Oregon Government Standards and Practices), the officer or employee is responsible for providing their own defense.

Shall the Local Contract Review Board declare Blazer Industries Inc. a sole source vendor for the construction of the portable mobile restrooms for Cook Park and award the bid not to exceed $ 60,000.00. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1) Staff recommends that the Local Contract Review Board approve and award Blazer Industries Inc. sole source status for the construction of the portable mobile restrooms for Cook Park. 2) Staff recommends bid award to Blazer Industries Inc. for an amount not to exceed $ 60,000.00. INFORMATION SUMMARY The City of Tigard Public Works Department has been working on the purchase of the portable mobile restrooms that will provide service to the new riverfront shelter at Cook Park. Staff searched locally and nationally for the past 7 months for a company that could construct this portable facility to fit the needs at Cook Park. There are very few companies that manufacture this type of facility and even fewer that will custom build them to our specifications as well as the specifications of the State Building Codes. Our most promising vendor was Ameri-can, a large manufacturing company from Argos, Indiana who builds these types of facilities. However, they are hesitant to build a single facility to our specifications plus they do not meet the Oregon codes as they pertain to plumbing, structural, electrical and mechanical. Ameri-can believes that they do not need to meet the codes because their facilities are mobile. The State of Oregon Building Department disagrees and cautions not to jeopardize our ability to use our facility in the park by purchasing one that does not meet the required codes. Further research led us to a local company in Aumsville, Oregon that builds a variety of facilities and is willing to work with us on the custom design and construction. They also come highly recommended by the State of i Oregon Building Department as a company that meets the required state codes. We have met with the president of the company and he has drawn up plans that meet both the State requirements and our specifications. Blazer Industries Inc. has temporarily left a spot open in their production line should the decision be made to proceed with the construction of this facility. If Local Contract Review Board approval is granted at the March 14, 2000 Council meeting, then the delivery date would be the end of May 2000. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1) Continue to search for a vendor that will custom build a facility to our specifications and that will meet the required Oregon Building Codes. (If this is recommended by the Local Contract Review Board, then we will need to roll over the budgeted amount into the 2000-2001 fiscal year budget since delivery will most likely not be before the end of the fiscal year). 2) Continue to use existing porto-potties at the riverfront area. (If the Local Contract Review Board recommends this, they need to be aware that current porto-potties are not adequate to keep up with the rising usag-- due to the newly installed picnic shelter). 3) Local Contract Review Board may instruct staff to go through the formal bid process. (If this is the direction that they want staff to proceed, then we may need to roll over the budgeted amount into the 2000- 2001 fiscal budget year since the formal bid process may push the delivery date past the end of the current fiscal year). VISION TASK FORCE GOAL qM? ACTION COMINUTTEE STRATEGY Accommodate growth while protecting the character and livability of new and established areas. FISCAL NOTES $ 60,000.00 was budgeted for out of the 1999-2000 fiscal year for the purchase of this facility. ~:kry~;a~~nn.aoi IMF MEMORANDUM TO: Ed Wegner FROM: Jeff Munro RE: Purchase of portable mobile restrooms for Cook Park DATE: March 1, 2000 1 have been working on the purchase of the portable mobile restrooms, which will service the riverfront area at Cook Park. I started the search for a manufacturer in September of 1999 when I contacted national and local companies as well as local park agencies. Most manufactures could not offer what we desired, but we eventually narrowed our search down to a few companies. The first was Bucks Sanitation from Sweet Home, Oregon. Bucks is the company that provided the portable restroom for the City of Tigard for the "Festival of Balloons" in 1999. 1 worked with them for two months on putting together a plan, but had difficulties when it came to addressing ADA accommodations and getting any specialized features. They informed me that they would have the unit manufactured in Indiana. They put me in contact with the company who manufactured their unit, which is Ameri-Can Engineering. Ameri-Can has a line of portable restrooms, but does not customize their units to fit specialty needs. The customizing however was minor in comparison to the fact that their units did not meet the State of Oregon building codes. There seems to be a difference of opinion between Ameri-Can, Bucks and the State of Oregon regarding the fact of whether or not they need to meet code since their units are not a permanent structure. However, according to Ernie Hopkins of the State of Oregon Building Department, the unit must meet state code as it pertains to plumbing, structural, electrical, and mechanical. Ameri-Can, being a large company is not in favor of altering their production plans for one specialty unit especially when they don't believe their unit is a permanent structure and needs to meet the code requirements. Mr. Hopkins made the point very clearly that if the city were to purchase a product that did not meet proper codes, that the city may jeopardize the ability to use it in our application in the park. asked Mr. Hopkins to put that in writing for me and his response was, ° Don't need to, it's the law, you have to meet the codes". The second company I dealt with was Cascade Phillips of Oregon City, Oregon. We began working with Cascade Phillips in December 1999, when we met with their Sales Manager at their site in Oregon City. After our meeting and a tour of their facility, it was obvious that they could not construct the desired unit and would themselves have to have an outside vendor construct it. They also informed us that whatever was built would need to meet Oregon codes. They did their best to talk us out of this type of unit and into top scale porto-potties on a trailer, sighting the expense involved in the construction of a unit like we were requesting. They did not know of anyone who manufactured what we were looking for, but gave us the name of a company, Blazer Industries Inc. that does specialized work. Had we agreed on a project with Cascade Phillips, they would have contracted out the work to Blazer Industries Inc. anyway. This brings us to the third and final company, Blazer Industries, Inc. in Aumsville, Oregon. We met with Marv Shetler the president of the company in late December of 1999 to discuss our needs and his willingness to meet them. It had become evident at this point that what we needed was going to be a custom built unit with many original designs that would allow us to both meet our needs and meet the State code requirements. Mr. Shetler is willing to build us a customized unit that addresses the above needs. He has worked with the State of Oregon on plan review and will submit a copy of his plans to the State for their review and approval. I have confirmed his statements with Ernie Hopkins of the State Building Department and was even given a recommendation for Mr. Shetler and his company. According to Mr. Hopkins, his department visits Blazer Industries 2-3 times a week for inspections on various projects and has work with them for years on meeting code requirements. Mr. Shetler has produced some preliminary drawings and is willing to work with the City of Tigard to make this project successful. Time of delivery is dependent on when the order is placed. Current delivery date if ordered within the next month is the end of May 2000. It is my recommendation after many months of research and many dead ends, to make Blazer Industries Inc. a sole source vendor for the purchase of the portable mobile restrooms for Cook Park. » Q o a 0 ~ K M 8 M r Y i f-f TC711. gU1t)MG m G~~' pJB yffi pP.P`v41NN 81~• g.t7..0(? ►Npt15 INC. 9A'fp 2040 6tA'~ yHET CoFyglGtq p t 15 ~tC , AND 97325-Q489 vt5 j,~l0.t ~►e, .,1P1C dR D15G1.03t0 4899 t+uNS of MAZIpt IN rtgMI55ION 01 EL r 3~16~-1. fa.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council approve Grant expenditures. INFORMATION SUMMARY ' We have been awarded a $26,054 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant by the Bureau of Justice. This Grant I requires a $2,605 local match. The Bureau of Justice requires that a citizens committee be convened to make non-binding recommendations about how the money is spent. These funds can only be spent in certain areas, and the two areas in which the funds will be spent are: supporting law enforcement and community crime prevention programs. I held the citizens meeting on February 22, 2000, and the following expenditures were approved by them: #1. Police Pursuit Intervention Training $1,104 Equip 5 patrol cars with front bars 2,500 #2 School Violence training 1,854 93 Community Partners for Affordable Housing 2195 (summer camp programs) #4 Tigard-Tualatin School District 300 (to track kids and programs database) #5 TPD Youth Summer Camps and Training 16,996 #6 Homicide School 1,105 I The purpose of this meeting is to hold a public hearing and to approve the expenditures of the Grant. This will also require a supplemental budget motion so $6,555 can be transferred into and spent this fiscal year. The remaining funds ($19,496) have been included in next year's budget. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Not to approve this request. i VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION CONMTTEE STRATEGY This request addresses issues raised in the Public Safety and Schools and Education sections. FISCAL NOTES The $2,605 match money is available in the existing budget. iAcitywtdalsum.dot i I I i i 1 I v TO: Bill Monahan, City Manager FROM: Ron Goodpaster, Police Chief F 71GARD OREGON DATE: February 25, 2000 SUBJECT: Pursuit Intervention Technique Questions Below are listed the responses to questions from the Council regarding this technique. The first question regarded how many times we would have used this technique in the past year. Last year we had situations that we would have used this technique 1 to 3 times per month. In one scenario last summer we used the technique to stop a car being driven in an extremely dangerous manner. The driver has tried to run over one of our inotor officers and was driving out of control on lawns. By using the technique we were able to stop the vehicle and eliminate the threat. Because we did not have the front bars, it caused about $5,000 damage to our vehicle and took it out of service for several weeks. If the vehicle had the bars the damage, if any, would have been minimal. I believe we would use the technique at least I to 3 times per month. Another question was the cost to equip the vehicles and how many of our vehicles we would outfitted with the front bars. The cost to equip each of the 15 patrol vehicles we would equip is $500 per vehicle. We anticipate taking that cost out of the 2000 LLEBG Grant that we were just awarded. The funding for this training and the front bars comes from an Omnibus Fiscal Year 1999 Appropriations Act, which provides funds for the implementation of the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program, which is administered by the Bureau of Justice. The purpose of the LLEBG Program is to provide local government with funds for local projects to reduce and improve public safety. This Grant was for $26,050, which included a local hard money match of $2,605. These funds can be spent in the following areas: supporting law enforcement, enhancing security measures, establishing or supporting drug courts, enhancing the adjudication of cases involving violent offenders, establishing multijurisdictional task forces, establishing community crime prevention programs, and indemnification insurance. We have just been advised that we have been awarded a LLEBG Grant for 2000. This Grant is for $25,360, which includes a local hard money match of $2,536. 13125 SW Hall Blvd., 71gard, OR 97223 (503) 639-4171 TDD (503) 684-2772 M13 11111 11111=0 AGENDA ITEM # FOR AGENDA OF March 14.2000 CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE A resolution approving budget adjustment #7 to the FY 1999-00 budget to accent a Local Law Enforcement block grant and to increase appropriations to allow expenditure of grant funds PREPARED BY: Craig Prosser DEPT HEAD OK _CITY MGR OK ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Should the Council amend the FY 1999-00 Budget to accept and appropriate a law Enforcement Block Grant? STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this budget amendment. INFORMATION SUMMARY The City has been awarded a $26,054 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant by the Bureau of Justice. The Council will hold a public hearing this evening on use of these funds. Following the public hearing, if the Council chooses to accept the grant, it is necessary to amend the FY 1999-00 Budget to accept the grant and to adjust appropriations to allow the funds to be spent. The grant will be spent over a two-year period. This resolution, there fore amends the budget to reflect only that portion that will be spent in FY 1999-00 ($6,558). The balance of the grant will be included in the FY 2000-01 Budget. The grant requires a 10% local match. The Police department has sufficient appropriation to provide this match with no other adjustments. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Do not approve this budget amendment; maintain the City's FY 1999-00 budget. This would prevent the City from accepting the grant. VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY This budget amendment addresses issues raised in the Public Safety and Schools and Education sections of the Vision statement. FISCAL NOTES The amendment will increase the budget by $6,558 using grant funds. AGENDA ITEM # FOR AGENDA OF March 14.2000 CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Transportation Bond Update PREPARED BY: A.P. Duenas DEPT HEAD OK C~Z CITY MGR OK ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Briefing on the progress of the Transportation Bond Task Force. No Council action required. 5TTAFF RECOMMENDATION No Council action required. Council discussion and input is welcomed on progress to date. INFORMATION SUMMARY The Transportation Bond Task Force appointed by City Council to select projects for a proposed transportation bond issue during the year 2000 has been meeting since April 1999. The Task Force developed criteria for project selection, then compiled an extensive list of projects for consideration. The projects include street reconstruction and expansion, safety-related improvements, sidewalks, bike paths, and streetlights. A citizen involvement meeting was conducted on October 20, 1999 to receive citizen input on the proposed projects, and to gauge public feeling on the size of bond issue that would be acceptable to voters. The Task Force met on November 3, 1999 to review and discuss the comments received at the citizen involvement meeting. At that meeting, the Task Force determined that even more citizen input is needed to help the Task Force develop a package of projects to recommend to Planning Commission and City Council. To solicit continents from a broad cross-section of the community, the Task Force conducted a series of meetings at various locations throughout the City during the month of February 2000. The first meeting was a presentation to the Citizen Involvement Teams on February 3, 2000 at the Tigard Senior Center. The other meetings were open house format scheduled as follows: February 9, 2000 at Fowler Middle School, February 16, 2000 at Conklin Hall, Metzger United Methodist Church, and February 24, 2000 at Tigard High School. All of the meetings, with the exception of the meeting at the Metzger United Methodist Church, were well attended. Citizen input was obtained at all meetings. The Task Force is scheduled to meet on March 8 and again on March 15 to discuss the projects, the size of the proposed bond issue, and to formulate recommendations that will be submitted to Planning Commission and City Council. The presentation to the Planning Commission is scheduled for April 17, 2000 followed by the presentation to City Council on May 9, 2000. Assuming Council approval of the bond package, the bond measure will be submitted for voter approval in the November 2000 general election. The Task Force will actively participate in promoting the bond issue for passage. 'Mom" loll 11101111 NORMSEEW Attached are the bond projects that are currently under consideration. Also attached are charts indicating the rates to the taxpayers for various sizes and terms of the bond issue, and the expected annual payment for homes in the $100,000 to $300,000 range.The final project listing and other recommendations will be determined during the Task Force meetings in the month of March. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED N/A VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY The improvements proposed for funding through a Road Bond issue would meet the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow goals of Improve Traffic Safety and Improve Traffic Flow. FISCAL NOTES Costs for Transportation Bond Support have been absorbed in the Engineering Department's budget so far. Funding for bond issue support, and for the preparation and review of bond projects for design and construction implementation are proposed for inclusion in the FY 2000-01 annual operating budget.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION No Council action is requested. INFORMATION SUMMARY On February 8, 2000, City and USA staff and the City's consultant met with regulatory agencies to discuss water quality improvement options. Agencies attending included the US Environmental Agency, US Corps of Engineers, Oregon Division of Fish and Wildlife and Division of State Lands. The general plan agreed upon includes regrading of the area so that several channels extending from the main channel will flood during periods of high flow. During periods of low flow, water will retreat to the main stream from the channels and leave a wetland that will provide improved habitat. Following the meeting, the consultant was requested to prepare a proposal to provide a conceptual plan meeting the requirements the agencies expressed during the meeting and the objectives of Council. Staff will be working with the consultant to complete the conceptual plan for regulatory agency review. Milestones for this project include: Council consideration of conceptual plan April 11, 2000 Submittal of Permit Applications April 14, 2000 Final Design Complete June 5, 2000 Advertise for Bids June 12, 2000 Bid Opening June.27, 2000 Award by LCRB July 11, 2000 Begin Construction July 24, 2000 Complete Construction Sept. 18, 2000 These dates are tentative and are subject to adjustment based on actual dates of agency approval of the permits.

APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Statewide Goals 1-19; Oregon Administrative Rule 660-12-060; Comprehensive Plan Policies 1.1.1, 2.1.1, 6.1.1, 8.1.1, 8.2.2, 9.1.1, 12.1.1, and12.2.1; Community Development Code Chapter 18.390.060, and 18.390.060(G). SECTION II: BACKGROUND INFORMATION Site History: In 1996, Metro adopted a visionary plan that would limit the expansion of the Portland Metro Area Urban Growth Boundary yet accommodate growth. This regional plan is known as the Metro 2040 Plan. Focusing development and growth in regional centers represented a key aspect of supporting growth of the area and preserving livability. Regional centers are areas containing concentrated business, local government, retail services, and housing served by high-quality transit. The Washington Square area represents one of three regional centers in Washington County and one of seven in the metropolitan region. To ensure that enough housing and employment is located within the urban growth boundary, Metro's Functional Plan requires that local jurisdictions plan for their respective assigned growth targets for jobs and housing. Tigard's assigned target capacity in the Washington Square Regional Center is 9,804 jobs and 1,500 housing units. Washington County's housing density target of approximately 500 housing units is included in Tigard's target, so that the single-family Metzger of ighbor ;cod can be preserved. STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 2 lffi~~ 111111111E1111111111 Washington Square Regional Center Mixed Use Districts: Mixed Use Employment 182, Mixed Use Residential 182, and Mixed Use Commercial With funding from a Transportation 8 Growth Management (TGM) Grant, a master planning effort was undertaken to define the boundaries of the Regional Center and propose transportation and land use designations intended to reflect a twenty year planning horizon. To assist the planning effort, Tigard City Council appointed a 23 member task force. Task force members represented neighborhoods, schools, businesses, property owners, state, regional, local governments, and public interest groups. The Washington Square Regional Center Task Force directed staff and consultants in the preparation of the land use and transportation development concept of the Washington Square Regional Center. The Task Force met for over a year and was made up of area residents, business owners and developers, and representatives of the Planning Commission, Metro, and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The recommendations for the Washington Square Regional Center were intended to not only meet the Metro Design Concept for the Regional Center, but also to meet the neighborhood goals for the area. The vision for the Washington Square Regional Center, as developed with the assistance of the Task Force, is guided by the following: Overall Vision: • The Washington Square Regional Center will be a vital regional center serving the needs of the Washington County residents. • Preserve existing residential neighborhoods. • Offer an innovative transportation service that makes it easy for people to reach their destinations. • Focus on Washington Square Mail as a community resource. • Feature a linked belt green belt of parks and open space easily reached by residents and employees. Guiding Principles-Creation/Preservation of Area Identity; • Reinforce a distinctive regional center while recognizing and respecting the character of the nearby residential community. • Retain and develop quality housing, including affordable housing, for all income levels. • Facilitate transitions from one use to another; for example, to multifamily residential uses. • Preserve and enhance Metzger Park and consider additional parks. • Encourage environmentally friendly development. STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 3 • Try to keep historic trees. • Build for our children; have a sense of stewardship. • Think creatively and be innovative in improving/maintaining quality of life. • Consider market forces and development patterns. • Maintain and preserve floodplains and wetlands. Governmentllnstitutional Issues: • Consider all political boundaries and facilitate cooperation among jurisdictions. • Maintain neighborhood schools. • Identify and reinforce what makes the learning (educational) environment viable. Transportation: • Strive for a self-sufficient, connected transportation system. • Consider transportation needs for whole study area. • Plan for a multi-modal transportation system that accommodates increased auto and non-auto travel needs. • Respect and enhance local street networks and neighborhood livability. • Maintain an acceptable level of service and safety on regional roads, outside the study area. • Provide good transportation access to the rest of the region. • Make the community accessible for all people and modes with connections for cars, bikes, pedestrians, and transit. • Maintain a high level of accessibility within and to the regional center. • Use appropriate street and streetscape design. • Encourage attractive, high quality development. • Promote long-term viability for the area. Assure infrastructure is available prior to or with development. STAFF REPORT CPA 19994002 Page 4 11111 111111 111'1111 IN ill~imilligillillmol i The Regional Center Plan should. • Be understandable to lay people. • Be implementable within a reasonable, staged period of time. • Help develop a sense of community with a common vision, hope and optimism. • Be based on statistics and facts for population, employment, and other factors. • Use existing resources as much as possible. • Encourage compatible and complementary uses. • Contain solutions to common problems. • Avoid conflict with other regional centers. The resulting plan reflects these guiding principles. The plan was completed and the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force accepted this plan in September of 1999. Vicinity Information: The affected parcels and street system are within the area known as the Washington Square Regional Center. The area is generally bordered by Fanno Creek on the west, SW Greenburg Road and Hall Boulevard on the east, Progress Downs Golf Course to the north, and Highway 217, including the Ash Creek area, on the southern border. It was the consensus of the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force that the Washington Square Regional Study area would include 1,250 acres with Washington Square Mall located in approximately the center of the study area. The total study area includes land within unicorporated Washington County and the City of Beaverton. Site Information and Proposal Description: The site is approximately 1,250 acres in size. The proposed land use actions include amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to update references to the Washington Square Regional Center and include a description of the regional center zones (Mixed Use Employment 1&2, Mixed Use Residential 1&2, and Mixed Use Commercial), update the adopted transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan and amend the Development Code to include a new chapter that addresses development standards in the Washington Square Regional Center. Some of the zoning shown is outside of Tigard's jurisdiction and adoption of these zoning districts, transportation linkages, and design standards are recommended to the jurisdictions of Washington County and the City of Beaverton. SECTION Ili: FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Both the requested Comprehensive Plan amendments and Development Code amendments are subject to the same criteria within the Tigard Municipal Code (see Section 18.30.120). The following staff evaluation and findings are therefore intended to address both the requested amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and amendments to STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 5 NEW III= ~~=IIIIIIINE the Development Code. The relevant criteria in this case are Statewide Goals 1-19: Oregon Administrative Rule 660-12-060; Comprehensive Plan Policies 1.1.1, 2.1.1, 6.1.1, 8.1.1, 8.2.2, 9.1.1, 12.1.1, 12.2.1; and Community Development Code Chapter 18.390.060 and 18.390.060(G). STATEWIDE GOALS Citizen Involvement: Goal 1 requires a citizen involvement program that ensures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in the planning process. Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.1 and Tigard Community Development Code Chapter 18 provide for citizen participation and notice. Notice of the Planning Commission and City Council hearings and opportunity for response were advertised in the local newspaper and request for comments were sent to the Department of Land Conservation and Development. A public hearing notice was mailed out to all property owners within the Washington Square Regional Center, as well as property owners located within 500 feet of the proposed land use action. In 1998, Tigard City Council appointed 23 people to serve on the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force. Task Force members represented neighborhoods, schools, business, property owners, state, and local governments, and public interest groups. The task force met 17 times between June 3, 1998, and August 18, 1999. All meetings were open to the public and time was set aside on every meeting agenda to solicit public comment. Three public workshops were held. One was held on September 28, 1998; one workshop was held at Washington Square during the day and another at Metzger School in the evening. A second public workshop was held on March 8, 1999, at the Tigard Water Building and a final public open house was held on September 15, 1999, at Metzger Park Hall to present the findings of the Task Force. Metro provided a $10,000 grant to the City of Tigard to supplement the City's public outreach program. This goal is satisfied. Land Use Planning: Goal 2 requires, in part, that adopted comprehensive plans be revised to take into account changing public policies and circumstances. This goal is met because the City has applied all relevant Statewide Planning Goals, City { Comprehensive Plan policies and Community Development Code requirements in the { review of this proposal. In addition, the proposal is intended to implement the vision for a Regional Center that is expressed in Metro's 2040 Growth Concept and comply with Metro's i Functional Plan. i Agricultural Lands: Goal 3 requires, in part, that adopted comprehensive plans be revised to preserve and maintain agricultural lands. This goal is not applicable because 3 no agricultural lands are involved in this legislative plan and code amendment. a a Forest Lands: Goal 4 requires, in part, that adopted comprehensive plans be revised to preserve and maintain forest lands. This goal is not applicable because no forest lands are involved in this legislative plan and code amendment. STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 6 Open Spaces, Scenic, and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources: Goal 5 requires, in part, that adopted comprehensive plans be revised to conserve and protect natural resources and scenic resources. This goal is met because the plan protects all resources as follows: 1. Open spaces: Some of the goals of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan are as follows: "[f]eature a linked green belt of parks and open space easily reached by residents and employees and [p]reserve and enhance Metzger Park and consider additional parks." The Washington Square Regional Center supports existing open space protections and identifies the need for 12 additional acres of open space. 2. Scenic resources: This part of the goal is not applicable because no identified scenic views exist in this area. 3. Historic areas: This part of the goal is not applicable because no historic areas are inventoried for the portion of the Regional Center located in the City of Tigard. 4. Natural resources: The City of Tigard has existing regulations protecting natural resources. The Washington Square Regional Center plan is providing an optional development standard to provide incentives to developers to enhance natural resource areas. The following incentive is proposed under 18.630.040(E) of the Washington Square Regional Center comprehensive plan amendments: "Density Requirements for Developments including or abutting riparian setback. Notwithstanding the density requirements in Table 18.630.2, the maximum density and floor area ratio for developments that include or abut riparian setbacks shall be no greater than 110 percent of the minimum residential density and floor area ratios in all Mixed Use Zones, except when the following are met: 1. Wetlands within the development are expanded or enhanced in conformance with the Oregon Division of State Lands Wetlands Restoration and Enhancement Program, and if applicable 2. Fish Habitat within the development is enhanced in conformance with the Oregon Division of State Lands Fish Habitat Enhancement Program, and if applicable 3. The overall flood storage capacity of the 100-year floodplain within the development is increased by 10 percent." Air, Water, and Land Resources Quality: Goal 6 requires the maintenance and l improvement of the quality of air, water, and land resources of the state. The City of Tigard complies with this goal through its adopted comprehensive plans and policies regarding water resources (Tigard Comprehensive Plan Volume Il, Chapter 4 and Tigard Development Code standard: 18.797). , Natural Disasters and Hazards: Goal 7 requires the maintenance and improvement of f the quality of the air, water, and land resources of the state. This City of Tigard has existing regulations that address natural disasters and hazards. Washington Square Regional Center Plan does not affect these provisions. Recreational Needs: Goal 8 requires that the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 7 IN= 1111011 MIMI Ell recreational facilities including destination resorts. This goal is not applicable because no recreational issues or destination resort issues are involved. Economic Development: Goal S requires the provision of adequate opportunities for a variety of economic activities. This goal has been met because the plan continues to promote opportunities for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare and prosperity of Tigard citizens. The mix of uses will encourage a diversity of development with emphasis on employment based uses. During the planning process for the Washington Square Regional Center, consultants performed an analysis of development and redevelopment opportunities in the study area. The study shows that approximately 170 acres of land will be needed over the next 20 years to accommodate the development densities outlined in the Washington Square Regional Center Plan. The report summarizing these opportunities is attached to this staff report. Please refer to exhibit A. Housing: Goal 10 requires that plans shall encourage the availability of adequate numbers of needed housing units at various price ranges and rent levels and allow for flexibility of housing location, type and density. The new Mixed Use Residential 1 &2 zones will encourage higher density housing than currently exists. Mixed Use Residential 1 will require a minimum residential density of 50 units per acre and Mixed Use Residential 2 will require a minimum residential density of 25 units per acre. The existing commercial and commercial professional zones do not allow opportunities for residential development with the commercial and office development. The new zoning will provide provisions that allow retention of existing residences thereby preserving affordable housing, while still providing the opportunity for high-density housing. Goal 10, Housing, is, therefore, met because the proposal provides for additional housing opportunities as called for both in the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Metropolitan Housing Rule, in addition to the Metro 2040 Plan. One of Washington County's strategies to meet their required housing densities recommended that the area in unincorporated Washington County be rezoned from R-5 to R-40 to comply with Metro residential growth targets. The Task Force is recommending that the single-family zoning remain and that Washington County's share of the Washington Square Regional Center residential growth targets be located elsewhere within the Washington Square Regional Center, threreby preserving an existing single-family neighborhood. The analysis of available land done by the consultants confirm that additional dwelling units can be accommodated elsewhere within the Regional Center. Public Facilities and Services: Goal 11 requires planning and development of timely, orderly, and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. Because the Washington Square Regional Center plan includes the adoption of a transportation system plan and parks and open space plan to support the proposed land uses, this goal is satisfied. Street and utility improvements are addressed in Chapter 18.810 of the Tigard Development Code. Transportation: Goal 12 requires a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. The Washington Square Regional Center Transportation Plan has been STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 8 extensively analyzed to evaluate the impacts that the proposed new zoning categories would have on transportation systems. The project team has worked closely with the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force, has reviewed the draft Regional Center Plan and past traffic studies for proposed development projects in the study area, and has conducted a planning analysis of the 2020 traffic volume forecasts for the area-wide roadway system. Although traffic will be increased with the development of the proposed Washington Square Regional Center, the traffic studies show that traffic congestion will exist in the future with or without the proposed land use changes. The proposed mixed-use zones will create the potential to capture some of the auto trips going in and leaving the Regional Center. The Washington Square Regional Center Plan proposes to improve the transportation through the following improvements: work with regional partners to develop a commuter rail system; improve transit both to and within the regional center; improve local street connections; improve sidewalks and bike lanes; and widen key regional streets. In addition, the proposed transportation improvements as part of the Regional Center plan include a series of pedestrian/bicycle improvements that will increase the ability to use alternate modes of transportation. Attached is a summary of proposed transportation improvements for the Washington Square Regional Center area (please refer to exhibit B). This memorandum describes the final evaluation of alternatives for motor vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit travel modes, and describes a recommended Transportation Master Plan for the Washington Square Regional Center. One of the recommendations of the transportation element of the Washington Square Regional Center is to eventually widen Hall Boulevard to five lanes. The Metro Regional Transportation Plan shows that Hall Boulevard will need to be widened to five lanes to accommodate traffic in the area over the twenty year planning horizon. The Washington Square Regional Center recognizes that the Regional Transportation Plan calls for expansion of Hall Boulevard to five lanes; however, the task force endorses an expansion to three lanes while acquiring right of way for a five lane roadway. This goal is satisfied because the total projects outlined above will create a transportation { system that can support the proposed land use changes. Energy Conservation: Goal 13 requires that land and uses developed on land shall + be managed and controlled se as to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy, based upon sound economic principles. The proposed Washington Square Regional Center design concept would allow the opportunity to build residential development in commercial and industrial areas and, therefore, create the opportunity for people to live in close proximity to work and/or shopping. In addition, the transportation improvements proposed outline a series of bicycle/pedestrian improvements that will increase the alternate modes of travel. This goal is satisfied. STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 9 slag 31,11 11,11, 111101MMI 11111111N 011,111101 J Urbanization: Goal 14 requires orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. This goal is not applicable because urban growth boundary issues are not involved. Willamette River Greenway: Goal 15 requires protection, conservation, and enhancement of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway. This goal is not applicable because Willamette River Greenway issues are not involved. Estuarine Resources: Goal 16 requires recognition and protection of the unique environmental, economic, and social values of each estuary and associated wetlands and, where appropriate, protect, maintain and restore the long-term environmental, economic, and social values diversity and benefits of Oregon's estuaries. This goal is not applicable. Coastal Shorelands: Goal 17 requires conservation, protection, and, where appropriate, restoration of coastal shorelands. This goal is not applicable. Beaches and Dunes: Goal 18 requires conservation, protection, and, where appropriate, restoration of coastal beaches and dunes. This goal is not applicable. Ocean Resources: Goal 19 requires conservation of the long-term values, benefies, and natural resources of the nearshore ocean and the continental shelf. This goal is not applicable. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE STATUTES OR GUIDELINES Oregon Administrative Rule: Section 660-12-060 states that plan amendments which significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and level of service of the facility. Section 660-12-060 of the Transportation Planning Rule requires that amendments to acknowledged comprehensive plans and land use regulations which may significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity and level of service of the facility. Plan or regulation amendments significantly affect a transportation facility if it changes the functional classification of a transportation facility; changes facility standards, creates levels of service which are inconsistent with the functional classification of the facility, or would reduce the level of service below the minimum acceptable. The list of projects outlined in the Transportation Element of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan will create a functional transportation system that can support the proposed land use changes, and this plan is compatible with Metro's Functional Plan Goals and Policies, and Metro's Regional Transportation Plan. COMPLIANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 10 General Policies: Policy 1.1.1(a) requires that legislative changes are consistent with statewide planning goals and the regional development plan. The proposal is consistent with statewide planning goals as addressed above under 'Statewide Goals'. The proposal conforms with the applicable portions of the Metro "Urban Growth Management Functional Plan" that was approved for adoption on October 24, 1996, by the Metro Council. The "Growth Concept" map associated with the Functional Plan indicates this area as a "Regional Center". Since most of the concept area for the proposed Washington Square Regional Center is located within the City of Tigard, we took the lead in developing the plan for this area. The Metro Framework Plan has the following description: "These regional centers would become the focus of compact development, redevelopment and high-quality transit service, multi-modal street networks and act as major nodes along regional through routes. The Growth Concept estimates about 3 percent of new household growth and 11 percent of new employment growth would be accommodated in these regional centers. From the current 24 people per acre, the Growth Concept would allow for about 60 people per acre (Regional Framework Plan, pp. 17-18, December 11, 1997)." Citizen Involvement: Policy 2.1.1 states that the City shall maintain an ongoing citizen involvement program and shall assure that citizens will be provided an opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The Planning Commission and City Council hearings were legally advertised. The meetings of the Washington Square Regional Center Task Force were open to the public and time was provided during each meeting for the public to make comments. Public workshops and open houses were held during the planning process for the Washington Square Regional Center. Notice was sent of the workshops to property owners within 500' of the study area to ensure that they had the opportunity to learn about our planning process and to participate in it. Metro provided the City with a $10,000 grant to help facilitate an extensive public involvement program. Housing: Policy 6.1.1 requires the City shall provide an opportunity for a diversity of housing densities and residential types at various prices and rent levels. This policy is primarily implemented through OAR 660-07, the Metropolitan Housing Rule. The rule requires that the City maintain sufficient residential buildable land to provide the opportunity for at least 50% of new units to be attached single family or multi-family housing and to provide for an overall density of ten units per acre. The City is currently in compliance with this rule. The proposed Washington Square Regional Center design concept will encourage a variety of housing types including single-family detached, duplexes, fourplexes, rowhouses, and new multi-family developments. Transportation: Policy 8.1.1 requires the City to plan for a safe and efficient street and roadway system that meets current needs and anticipated future growth and development. The list of projects outlined in the Transportation Element of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan will create a functional transportation system that can support a safe and efficient roadway system that meets current needs and anticipated future growth. Transit: Policy 8.2.2: THE CITY SHALL ENCOURAGE THE EXPANSION AND USE OF PUBLIC TRANSIT BY: STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 11 a. LOCATING LAND INTENSIVE USES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO TRANSITWAYS; The Washington Square Regional Center Plan encourages the development of intense land uses in close proximity to existing bus lines in Washington Square, on Greenburg Road, on Hall Boulevard, and in proximity to the proposed commuter rail station. b. INCORPORATING PROVISIONS INTO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE WHICH REQUIRE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS TO PROVIDE TRANSIT FACILITIES; AND The existing development code addresses the provision of transit facilities c. SUPPORTING EFFORTS BY TRI-MET AND OTHER GROUPS TO PROVIDE FOR THE NEEDS OF THE TRANSIT DISADVANTAGED. Tri-Met has been involved in the development of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan and the City continues to work with Tri-Met on issues of the transit disadvantaged. Energy: Policy 9.1.1: THE CITY SHALL ENCOURAGE A REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY INCREASED OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION AND THE PRODUCTION OF ENERGY FROM ALTERNATIVE SOURCES. The Washington Square Regional Center Plan will encourage reduction in energy consumption by allowing the opportunity for housing to be located in close proximity to jobs and transit. Locational Criteria: Policy 12.1.1: THE CITY SHALL PROVIDE FOR HOUSING DENSITIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH: a. Applicable Plan Policies; The Washington Square Regional Center Plan is creating mixed-use zones that will allow high-density esidential zones and plan policies regarding these zones to address the goals of Metro 2040. b. Applicable Locational Critieria; 4. Medium-High Density and High Density Residential A. The following factors will be the determinants of the areas designated for high density on the plan map: (1) Areas which are not committed to low density development; One of the goals of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan is to preserve existing residential neighborhoods which is why the City is recommending to Washington County to leave the Metzger neighborhood with its existing single-family zoning. Areas proposed for higher density zoning are located next to or within existing commercially zoned area. (2) Areas which can be buffered from low density residential areas in order to maximize the privacy of established low density residential areas; The existing development code has buffering standards. One of the goals of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan is to facilitate transitions from one use to another, for example, multifamily residential uses, which is why the higher density zones will be located closer to existing commercially zoned areas. (3) Areas which have direct access from a major collector or arterial street; The Washington Square Regional Center Area is surrounded by collector and arterial streets such as, Hall Boulevard, Scholls Ferry Road, and Highway 217. In addition, the transportation element of the plan includes new collector streets to support existing and new development. (4) Areas which are not subject to development limitations; The existing Tigard Development Code addresses issues of site development limitations. (5) Areas where the existing facilities have the capacity for additional development; STAFF REPORT CPA 1999-0002 Page 12 The transportation element of the Washington Square Regional Center plan adds transportation improvements to the existing comprehensive plan to support existing and new do c!opment and land use densities. (6) Areas within one-quarter mile of public transit; Bus lines exist to serve Washington Square Mall, on Scholls Ferry Road, and on Greenburg Road. In addition, commuter rail is being studied that will run through the Regional Center. (7) Areas within one-quarter mile from neighborhood and general commercial shopping centers or business and office centers; and Washington Square Mall, Burlington Plaza on Cascade Avenue, and Lincoln Center are located within the Regional Center. (3) Areas adjacent to either private or public permanent open space. The Greenway Park area is located next to the Regional Center and the plan identifies the need for additional open space in the regional center, as part of one of the implementation strategies. B. The following factors will be determinants of the density ranges allowed in the medium-high and high density planned areas should the City adopt more than one high density zone: (1) The topography and natural features of the area and the degree of possible buffering from established low density residential areas; One of the goals of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan is to preserve the existing single-family character of the Metzger neighborhood. In addition, Tigard's existing development code standards address issues of land use compatibility and buffering. (2) The capacity of the services; The transportation element of the Washington Square Regional Center plan adds transportation improvements to the existing comprehensive plan to support existing and new development and land use densities. In addition, the Tigard Development Code has a section that addresses public service and utility improvements. (3) The distance from public transit; and Bus lines exist to serve Washington Square Mall, on Scholls Ferry Road, and on Greenburg Road. In addition, commuter rail is being studied that will run through the Regional Center. (4) The relationship of the site to existing neighborhood and general commercial centers and office and business centers. One of the goals of the Washington Square Regional Center Plan is to preserve existing single-family neighborhoods, to facilitate transition of land uses, and to reinforce a distinctive Regional Center while recognizing and respecting the character of the nearby residential community. Policy 12.2.1 NEW COMMERCIAL ZONES a. PROVIDE FOR COMMERCIAL DEVLEOPMENT BASED ON THE TYPE OF USE, ITS SIZE AND REQUIRED TRADE AREA The new commercial zones will not differ significantly from existing commercial uses in the City plan and code, except for that they will allow a mix of commercial and residential development. b. APPLY ALL APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES Exhibit C is the attached plan policies that will be added to the City's plan regarding the new Mixed-Use Commercial areas. C. APPLY THE APPROPRIATE LOCATIONAL CRITERIA APPLICABLE TO THE SCALE OF THE PROJECT. STAFF REPORT CPA 19994=2 Page 13 Exhibit C is the attached plan policies that will be added to the City's plan regarding the new Mixed-Use Commercial areas. PROVISION OF ADDITIONAL OR REVISED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LANGUAGE Certain Comprehensive Plan language will require amendment or additional language to address the proposed Washington Square Regional Center Plan. Exhibit C includes the specific language from the Comprehensive Plan that requires amendment. COMPLIANCE WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTIONS: Procedures for Decision Making: Legislative: Chapter 18.390.060 establishes procedures for consideration of legislative and quasi-judicial changes to the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, implementing ordinances and maps. Section 18.30.390(G) lists the factors upon which the Planning Commission and City Council shall base their decisions. The factors and responses are as follows: 18.390.060 TYPE IV PROCEDURE This land use action involves legislative and quasi-judicial amendments therefore, as per Type IV procedures a two hearings one before the Planning Commission and one before the City Council were held. Notice of the hearings was given to property owners within 500 feet, as well as to affected government agencies. G. Decision-Making Considerations: The recommendation by the Commission and the decision by the Council shall be based on the following factors: 1. The Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines adopted under the Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 197; These standards are addressed in Section 11 under'Statewide Goals' in this staff report. 2. Any federal or state statutes or regulations found applicable; The State's Transportation Planning Rule is addressed in Section IV under 'Compliance with Federal and State Statutes or Guidelines'. 3.

March 14, 2000 CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Amend Le al Descriptions for the 15 Island Areas Previ sly Annexed PREPARED BY: Julia Powell Hajduk DEPT HEAD OK u ITY AD IN OK ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Should the City Council adopt an. ordinance amending the legal descriptions for the Walnut Island areas previously annexed to reflect the corrections approved by the Department of Revenue? STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt the attached ordinance amending the legal descriptions for the Walnut Island areas previously annexed to reflect the corrections approved by the Department of Revenue. INFORMATION SUMMARY The Walnut Island Annexations were processed correctly in accordance with the City, Metro and State requirements. The public hearing notices and information provided at the hearing accurately reflected the areas to be annexed. It has come to the City's attention, however, that the legal descriptions attached to the ordinances have some errors that need to be corrected. As part of the processing of the Walnut Island annexations, the City forwarded a copy of the legal descriptions to the Department of Revenue for pre-approval. The legal descriptions originally sent were not approved because some technical corrections were needed. City staff made these changes and forwarded the legal descriptions to the Department of Revenue a second time, this time obtaining pre-approval of the corrected legal descriptions. Inadvertently, the legal descriptions included as exhibits to the ordinance adopted by the City Council were not replaced with the approved legal descriptions. Pre-approval is recommended, but not required. By obtaining pre- approval, a city is assured that they will not have to go back to correct a legal description if disapproved. As long as the annexation is approved by a city prior to March 31", they have until July IS` to fix mistakes in the legal descriptions. While we attempted to avoid having to come back to correct the legal descriptions, it is not uncommon for cities to have to correct errors and it is, in fact, accounted for in the Department of Revenue review process. Given that the errors were clerical in nature (we did not describe the wrong property, we just did not describe the i property correctly for the purposes of legal review) staff contacted the Department of Revenue and the City Attorney for advice on how to proceed to correct the legal descriptions. Based on the advice obtained, staff has prepared a new ordinance amending the previous ordinances to replace the legal descriptions with the corrected previously approved ordinances. By adopting the ordinance as an emergency, the ordinance will become effective immediately and there will be no delay in the effective date of the annexations. By holding the hearing on 3/14/00 Council meeting i:\curpln\julia\annex\Wainut\legal description corrcctionAlS.doc Julia P.H. I-Mar-00 February 8', this allowed ample time for the unexpected to be addressed prior to the March 3 V deadline and there should be no delays as a result of this oversight. Attachments: Ordinance Exhibits A-O OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Take no action at this time. FISCAL NOTES There is no fiscal impact because the properties have already been annexed and the processing fee has already been paid. 3/14/00 Council meeting is\curpln\julia\annex\Walnut\legal description corrcctionA]S.doc Julia P.H. 1-Mar-00 ~P,. , 3 ~alvv MEMORANDUM TO: Local Contract Review Board FROM: John Roy RE: Contract ward to Consulting Engineering Services DATE: March 13, 2000 As you may recall the bid award for wetland design and construction at Cook Park appeared before the Board on December 14, 1999. Through the Council Agenda Item Summary, staff sought authorization from the Board to negotiate a final dollar amount (dollar amount proposed was $10,472.00) with Consulting Engineering Services once the scope of services had been specifically identified. The original RFP identified the scope of services as; including the components of information compilation and review, project design including grading and erosion control plan, wetland planting and maintenance plan, preparation of bid documents and assistance with bid award. My original intent was to omit the irrigation design and construction assistance on this proposal. Within a few days after the Local Contract Review Board authorized negotiating with CES, staff was made aware of the new requirements that would soon be implemented by USA and Metro, commonly known as Title III. The Title III rules were to go into effect February 4, 2000 and would have a serious impact on the Cook Park Master Expansion Plan. The new rules would increase buffer width requirements and impact design of parking lots, paths, and structures within the floodplain. After meeting with Planning staff and discussing the options with Ed Wegner, it was decided that for expediency purposes, to meet the February 3Id deadline for land use approval and fall under the old rules, we would expand the scope of services for CES to include the necessary work for submitting the application. The fee for the land use approval was $19,555.00. Additionally, after having further discussions with Tony Weller of CES, it was necessary to add an irrigation service plan and construction assistance to the scope of services. The irrigation plan is unique in that it calls for utilizing recycled water from the USA Treatment Plant at Durham for augmenting the summer flows into the wetland ponds and for irrigating the sports fields. This work was not identified in the scope of services nor was it offered as part of CES original proposal. It was also deemed necessary that some construction assistance time would be required to ensure that the contractor performed the work according to the construction documents. These items are identified on the attached documents as Phase 3 and Phase 4 for a total dollar amount of $13,816.00. The final dollar amount is a top end approximation and may be less dependant upon actual time utilized. (AL ok I would like to add that CES met the February 3 d, 2000 application deadline although they had only about 3 weeks to prepare the application. The land use approval application will appear before the Land Use Hearings Officer on April 10 h, 2000.
