MEMORANDUM
TIGARD
TO: Mayor and City Councilors
Craig Prosser, City Manager
FROM: Gus Duen4City Engineer
RE: Washington County TIF/SDC Measure
MSTIP 4 Measure
DATE: January 29, 2008
The Washington County Coordinating Committee (composed of elected officials from
Washington County and its cities) has proposed two ballot measures to be submitted to the
voters. The measures and the target election dates are:
■ Update of the existing TIF (Traffic Impact Fee) - May 2008
■ MSTIP 4 (new Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program measure) -
November 2008
TIF Update
The existing TIF captures approximately 20% of the cost of new development. The TIF
update is intended to double the amount of TIF revenues currently collected. The proposed
measure would increase the annual revenue from its current $15417 million to $30-$35
million.
The methods for updating the TIF have been narrowed to two primary options:
■ Minor change - Keep the same TIF and add a new SDC (System Development
Charge) to it
■ Moderate change - Replace the existing TIF with a new Countywide SDC (to be
submitted to the voters and passed as a tax)
The updating of the TIF is extremely complicated and involves a variety of major issues that
need to be resolved. The current TIF was passed before the SDC law came into effect.
Although the existing TIF does basically comply with the SDC law, there are differences
between the two. A complicating factor in the development of the preferred option is Senate
Bill 1036 (Attachment 1). This bill (signed into law July 2007) prohibits local governments
from passing construction excise taxes. County counsel managed to have language inserted
into the final version to exempt amendments or increases to a tax adopted by a county. (the
current County TIF) before May 1, 2007. This allows amendment or increase to the existing
TIF, but does not allow for a new version of the TIF to be added as a tax on top of the
existing TIF.
With these constraints in mind, the following is a brief summary of the two options:
■ The "minor" change proposes to continue the existing TIF with an SDC added to it
to double the total annual revenue. The SDC nature of the addition would require
that each city execute an IGA with Washington County to comply with the SDC and
ensure uniformity.
■ The "moderate" change proposes to amend (to comply with SB 1036 and qualify for
the exemption) the existing TIF using SDC methodology and in effect implement a
new Countywide SDC, but passed as a tax. This would allow uniform Countywide
application without need to execute IGAs with individual jurisdictions.
The County staff is trying to work out these issues with the intent of adopting the ballot title
by March 18, 2008. To be on the ballot for the May 20, 2008 election, the ballot title must be
submitted by March 20, 2008.
The proposed TIF update was discussed at the Washington County TAC (Transportation
Advisory Committee) meeting on January 24, 2008.. Another meeting is scheduled for
February 7, 2008 to further discuss the proposed measure and prepare for the next
Coordinating Committee meeting scheduled for February 11, 2008.
MSTIP 4 Update
The initial project priority ratings for the proposed MSTIP 4 ranked the projects based on
criteria proposed by Washington County staff. These criteria were based on achieving the
primary MSTIP purpose of addressing traffic safety and congestion problems, as well as
transportation and growth objectives identified in county and city transportation plans. The
Tigard projects were ranked relatively low based on these criteria.
Following comments from various cities, including a letter from me, the County staff revised
the project list to provide better distribution of projects Countywide. Attached is a
memorandum dated January 22, 2008 from Blair Crumpacker, Senior Planner, summarizing
in detail the revisions to the original project rankings (Attachment 2).
The revisions are briefly summarized as follows:
■ Established a project list at 120% of the targeted revenue (Attachment 3) to further
reduce the 200% list
■ Balanced the list of projects to allow for better distribution Countywide (Attachment
4)
➢ Allocated funding for system enhancement, projects, bridges and major studies
($32.35 million)
Memorandum Regarding TIF Update and MSTIP 4
Page 2 of 4
➢ Established a Special Funds Reserve for small cities, standalone bicycle and
pedestrian projects, rural road reconstruction and to provide local matching
funds for state or federal projects, or for support of other projects ($30
million)
➢ Provided funding for the top two projects submitted by each jurisdiction
($135,588,000)
➢ Provided funding for top-ranked projects based on application of MSTIP
evaluation criteria ($108,526,000)
The 120% list will have to be pared down to a 100% final list sometime in the next two to
three months. The Coordinating Committee meeting on February 11, 2008 will allow elected
officials to review and discuss projects and the process to reach the final list This memo is
to provide you with the most current information so that Mayor Dirksen can participate in
these discussions with Council input and support.
The two Tigard projects that made the 120% list are the two segments of Walnut Street to
complete the connection from 116d' Avenue east of the 121St intersection to Highway 99W.
The two segments of 72nd Avenue did not make the 120% list.
The total revenue expected over the 6-year period for the new measure is $255 million. The
$30 million in Special Funding is taken off the top leaving a balance of $225 million available
for projects. Based on population, the $135+ million allocated for two projects each from
the various jurisdictions constitutes approximately 60% of the total revenue ($225 million)
available for projects. Tigard's $12.8 million for the two projects is at 61.7% based on
relative population, which is in line with most of the other jurisdictions, except for Forest
Grove at 88.41/6.
In using the current numbers for analysis, it is important to note that most of the estimates
from the various jurisdictions have not been validated. Some of the estimates are based on
completed engineering work. Others are based. on use of the County-provided template for
estimates that we all used in estimating project costs for the Metro RTP (Regional
Transportation Plan) update. The template was used to provide uniformity in methodology
across jurisdictions. Once the projects have been selected, the estimates will be verified with
more detailed scope and updated costs. The final numbers will change once the validation is
completed. The estimate for the segment from 116th Avenue to Tiedeman Avenue is based
on a completed design updated to 2007 costs. The segment from Tiedeman to Highway
99W is estimated using the template provided by Washington County.
While widening 72nd Avenue is important to the Tigard Triangle's future development, other
major improvements need to be constructed to allow future growth to occur as envisioned
in the Tigard Triangle Plan. As a minimum, the 72nd Avenue interchange with Highway 217
needs to be upgraded and the existing overpass (between Hunziker and Hampton) replaced
with a new 5-lane overcrossing. ODOT needs to be involved in this upgrading effort. Future
development can assist in upgrading 72nd Avenue. The scope of work is now being
developed for the TSP (Transportation System Plan) update funded by a TGM
(Transportation Growth 'Management) grant. This TSP update will closely examine the
Memorandum Regarding TTF Update and MSTIP 4
Page 3 of 4
Tigard Triangle and the transportation issues that need to be resolved for growth and
development to occur.
The opening of the Murray Boulevard extension from Scholls Ferry to Barrows Road at
Walnut Street will funnel higher traffic volumes to Gaarde Street, as long as the Walnut
Street alternative remains uncompleted. Traffic bound for downtown Tigard or areas north
of Walnut Street will use Walnut given a reasonable opportunity. Traffic intending to
proceed south on Highway 99W or to access McDonald Street will use Gaarde Street.
Widening of the substandard segments of Walnut Street should result in better traffic
balance.
The two segments of Walnut Street cannot rely on future redevelopment to widen the street
to ultimate width. From that standpoint, the Walnut Street segments are more appropriately
upgraded with MSTIP funds.
The school zone designation (20 mph 7 am to 5 pm) along Fowler Middle School is a factor
that adversely influences traffic flow. We will propose a project for FY 2008-09 to install
flashing lights in that school zone so that specific times of day for the 20 mph speed limit
can be designated and implemented. The school zone along Gaarde Street in front of the
Tigard Assembly of God School and the zone in front of Alberta Rider Elementary School
are other candidates for flashing lights.
I will provide an update on the status of both measures after the meetings in early February.

January 22, 2008
To: WCCC Transportation Advisory mittee
From: Blair Crumpacker, Senior n r
Subject: MSTIP 4 Project List:- Achieving a balance at 120 percent
Request: Review the following discussion and attachments; be prepared to suggest and discuss
possible refinements at the January 24 and, if necessary, the February 7 WCCC TAC meetings.
Discussion: ssion: At the recommendation of the Washington County Coordinating Committee, the
Board of County Commissioners directed staff to proceed with development of a proposed MSTIP
4 package assuming annual revenues of $70 million over a six year period, with a decision on
whether to proceed with a ballot measure to be made later. The revenues would be comprised of
a combination of a continuing contribution from the County's general fund (in lieu of MSTIP 3
revenues) and new local option levy that would be placed on the November 2008 ballot.
Staff first identified a list of projects on the System of Countywide Interest costing approximately
200 percent of resources .available. This established a pool of candidates from which projects to
be included in an MSTIP 4 proposal could be selected. WCCC TAC representatives from each
jurisdiction were asked to submit project candidates costing a share of the total 200 percent target
resource equivalent to the jurisdiction' share of Washington County's population.
County staff evaluated projects on the 200 percent list according to MSTIP evaluation criteria,
which indicate the degree to which each project achieves the primary MSTIP purpose of
addressing traffic safety and congestion problems as well as transportation and growth objectives
identified in county and city transportation. plans. WCCC TAC members were asked to review the
results of the application of the criteria and ranking results.
County staff modified some project point totals in response to-city staff comments pointing out
errors or new information. Staff deferred responding to comments related to the nature. of criteria
or the results of the application of the criteria, believing that many of these reflect concerns with the
ultimate distribution of projects. This work has yet to occur, and in staffs view the concerns
reflected in many of the comments may be partially resolved during the next step of the process.
A 120 percent list:
Moving in that direction, after some discussion DLUT staff determined that a dearer understanding
of combined local government priorities within the 200 percent project list would be helpful, both to
provide a near-term focus for detailed scoping and costing work, and as an expression of still-
developing 'official" priorities to be distributed along with the 200 percent list for public review and
comment A 420 percent list (60 percent of the 200 percent list) seemed a reasonable target.
Using tools developed to date, County staff combined high local-priority projects (the two top
priority projects identified in city submittals) and high countywide priorities (according to project
rankings under MSTIP criteria) to develop the a proposed list. Here's an overview of elements of

MSTIP 4 120 percent list 012308
January 23, 2008
Page 2
the proposed 120 percent list (See the attached spreadsheet for a detailed description) and how it
was developed:
Target resources: $255 million (in 2007$). This would include $44 million in annual revenues
from a voter approved six-year local option levy and continuing annual contributions from the
Board of Commissioners in lieu of revenues from MSTIP 3. (The MSTIP 3 tax rate had been
reduced and folded into the County's fixed tax rate as one impact of voter-approved Measure 50.)
A $30 million Special Funds Reserve was subtracted from the $255 million. The current
proposal for use of these Special Funds is $1.5 million for the small cities of Gaston, North Plains
and Banks; $10 million for stand alone bicycle and pedestrian projects; $4.5 million for rural road
reconstruction; and $14 million to provide discretionary funds to be used, for example, to provide
local matching funds for state or federal projects or support other projects as opportunities present
themselves.
The remaining $225 million increased by 20 percent, to $270 million, which was allocated as
follows:
• "Dispersed projects" and studies: $32.35 million: Current proposal includes 1) Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS) activities, including $8.5 million for an adaptive signal program
initiatives on BH/Farmington and Canyon/TV Highway and flashing yellow arrow installations at
locations throughout the urban•area; 2) $13.85 million for bridges; and 3) $10 million for studies
of the 173`d/174d' over crossing and Bethany Boulevard.
• Funding for the top two projects submitted by each Jurisdiction: $135,588.000: These 15
projects are identified on the accompanying spreadsheet. Five cities submitted project
priorities; three did not. In these lafter cases, the top two city projects based upon the
application of MSTIP criteria were used.
• Funding for top-ranked projects based upon application of MSTIP evaluation criteria:
$108,526,000: These twenty projects are identified on the accompanying spreadsheet. They
include five signal coordination projects on TV Highway, Scholls Ferry Road, Cornell and
185th; seven multi-modal street projects on Farmington, Jenkins, Walker Road, and Cornelius
Pass; and seven major intersection improvement projects.
The total of these three categories exceeds the 120 percent target by approximately $6.5 million.
Again, the role of a 120 percent project list is to identify high priority'projects within the larger 200
percent list already identified. It's purpose is to enable DLUT and city staff to proceed with refined
scoping and costing of projects and, ultimately, to provide the public with a sense of priorities being
proposed by their government officials in order that they may more effectively comment on an
MSTIP 4 proposal, should the Board of Commissioners decide to go forward with one.

2. LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CPA2007-00005 -
UPDATE THE GOALS, POLICIES AND RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES PERTAINING TO
STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 1: CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
City Attorney Phillips read the rules of procedure for public hearings.
Mayor Dirksen opened the Public Hearing. 6:36:49 PM He asked if any Council member wished to declare or
discuss a conflict of interest or abstention. There was none. He asked for the staff report.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - February 5, 2008
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page 1 of8
Assistant Planner Daniels gave the staff report and said this amendment would update Statewide
Planning Goal 1 with goals, policies and recommended action measures relating to Citizen Involvement. She
said the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow visioning process and most recently completed community surveys were the
building blocks used to put this policy together. She said, unlike other Comprehensive Plan chapters brought
before the Council, this section was not included in the Tigard 2007 resource document so background
information and key findings are included at the front of the chapter.
Assistant Planner Daniels described the schedule and process used, which included a Planning Commission
public hearing and Council workshop meeting. She said it was a unique opportunity for the Policy Interest
Team and Citizen Involvement Team to work together. She said the State's Citizen Involvement Advisory
Council had an opportunity to review this and their comments are available in the staff report. She said the
first goal in this chapter focused mainly on citizen involvement and land use to ensure that all citizens have an
opportunity to participate in every phase of the planning process. She said the second goal ensures that citizens
have access to information and opportunities to communicate with city staff, elected and appointed officials.
She said that by adopting this new comprehensive plan chapter the City is signaling its commitment to
involving citizens in all aspects of city government.
Mayor Dirksen said that no one had signed up to speak. He asked if there was anyone in the audience who
wanted to testify either for or against the proposed changes to this comprehensive plan chapter.
Rex Caffall, 13205 SW Village Glen Drive, Tigard, OR 97223, said he was a member of both the Committee
for Citizen Involvement and the Planning Commission. He said he agrees wholeheartedly with the report and
hopes for more citizen involvement.
There being no further public testimony, Mayor Dirksen asked for the staff recommendation. Assistant
Planner Daniels said staff has found that the language in the Amendment complies with applicable State land
use goals, the City's Municipal Code and Comprehensive Plan, as well as federal, state and regional plans and
regulations. She said staff recommends the Planning Commission's recommendation to adopt Comprehensive
Plan Amendment 2007-00005.
Mayor Dirksen asked for Council comments. Councilor Woodruff said there is no question that Council is
very supportive of encouraging communication with citizens, but he had one suggestion to improve the
language. He said ways in which the City communicates with citizens are discussed but he suggested being more
specific that the City values getting information back from citizens. He said the City encourages feedback
regarding City services and plans, through means such as having comment cards available at City offices and
public meetings, and by providing opportunities for dialog at Fifth Tuesday meetings. He proposed that Goal
1.2.A. become Goal 1.2, and 1.2.13. become Goal 1.3 which would describe how citizen feedback comes to the
city.
Councilor Sherwood questioned whether Fifth Tuesday meetings should be listed in the Comprehensive Plan
because that might change from Council to Council. Councilor Wilson said that would be more of an Action
Measure. City Manager Prosser suggested that the goal as written addresses the issue but asked about inserting
language in the policies to address Councilor Woodruff s concerns. He suggested the wording, "The City shall
provide opportunities for citizens to provide feedback to City Council and staff, boards and commissions on
issues before them. The city shall use a variety of means such as comment cards, Internet, and Fifth Tuesdays
to gather feedback from citizens."
Councilor Woodruff said this would be better but still wanted Goal 1.2 to speak to communication going both
ways.

Cityof Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.dgard-or.gov Page 2 of8
Assistant Planner Daniels said they were combined because there were policies and action measures
applying to both. Councilor Woodruff said, "Most of those action measures apply to the first goal
of giving information to the public. There would be a couple of them that could fit under getting
information back from the public." He said the more it can be emphasized that the City wants
information to come back, the better. Councilor Wilson agreed and said. "The thing that is
difficult to get at is what the average citizen wants. What are their concerns?"
Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said there was an opportunity here to raise the
status of the need to have citizens communicate directly to the City, Council, boards, commissions and
staff. To keep with the format he recommended a goal that reads, "Ensure all citizens have
opportunities to communicate directly to the City and also to receive information, in an understandable
form, on issues that concern them."
Councilor Woodruff said he could live with that suggestion if the communication from citizens
is listed as the first goal and the phrase about the City providing information to the public is second.
6:56:02 PM Assistant Community Development Director Bunch suggested wording for Goal A,
"Ensure all citizens have opportunities to communicate directly to the City. And then B: Ensure
citizens have an opportunity to receive information on issues from the City in understandable form.
And the policy would say the City shall provide opportunities for citizens to communicate directly to
the City Council, boards, commissions and staff regarding issues that concern them."
6:56:37 PM Council all agreed on using Mr. Bunch's proposed wording.
Councilor Sherwood moved to accept the addition to Goal 1.2. Councilor Wilson seconded the
motion. Councilor Woodruff asked if they would need to see it again.
Mayor Dirksen asked, "If we agree to specific language right now, then it can be included and we don't
need to bring it back before us again, do we?" City Attorney Phillips said, "It's my understanding that
all of this is going to come back before you again eventually." City Manager Prosser said, "We're
adopting each chapter as we go."
Assistant Community Development Director Bunch commented that he had discussed with City
Attorney Ramis the need to incorporate all the legislative findings into one package at the end of the
process. Attorney Phillips said that was her understanding from Mr. Ramis. She said "He did have a
few issues that he was going to deal with, with Mr. Bunch. But it was my understanding that it would
come back as Mr. Bunch said."
City Manager Prosser said the issue was if Council is clear enough on the language encompassed in
the amendment to feel comfortable that it will be incorporated in the Ordinance. He said if there is
that level of comfort then they could move forward with approving the Ordinance as amended.
6:59:46 PM Mayor Dirksen said, "I heard specific language and that's what I would expect it would
come back. Councilor Sherwood said she made the motion which was seconded by Councilor Wilson
for this addition to go in. Mayor Dirksen called for a vote on the amendment. The amendment passed
unanimously. He asked Council if there was any other discussion to be held before he closed the Public
Hearing.

7:01:05 PM Councilor Sherwood moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 08-01, with Exhibit A, as
amended. Councilor Woodruff seconded the motion. Deputy Recorder Krager read the Ordinance and

3. LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING - COMPRHENSIVE PLAN CPA2007-00006 - UPDATE THE
GOALS, POLICIES, AND RECOMMENDED ACTION MEASURES PERTAINING TO
STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 9: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND GOAL 10: HOUSING
REQUEST: Requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to amend the current
Comprehensive Plan Topics 9: Economy and 10: Housing by updating the Goals, Policies, and
Recommended Action Measures to reflect current community conditions and values. The complete text
of the proposed Amendment can be viewed on the City's website at http://www.tigard-or.gov/code-
amendments. LOCATION: Citywide. ZONE: Citywide. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA:
Community Development Code Chapters 18.380 and 18.390; Comprehensive Plan Topics 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, and
11; and Statewide Planning Goals 1, 2, 9, 10, 12 and 13.
Mayor Dirksen opened the Public Hearing 7:02:50 PM
City Attorney Phillips stated for the record that the procedures were recited prior to the other Public Hearing
and were still in effect.
Mayor Dirksen asked if any Council member wished to declare or discuss a conflict of interest or abstention.
Councilor Sherwood said she works in the housing industry and has worked with several people who may be
testifying. City Manager Prosser said City Attorney Phillips advised him that since this is a Legislative Public
Hearing this is not a conflict. 7:02:58 PM
7:03:44 PM Associate Planner Farrelly gave the staff report and noted that Council reviewed the Planning
Commission's recommendations and requested an additional action measure during a workshop meeting. He
said Attachment 1 details the changes in three key findings and one policy as well as proposed language for the
additional recommended action measure. He said that these chapters will be the basis to provide adequate
opportunities for a variety of economic activities vital to Tigard's health, wealth and prosperity. He said they
will provide the opportunity for adequate housing for the community and protect residential livability.
Mayor Dirksen opened the Hearing for Public Testimony. He noted that no one signed up to speak and he
asked if anyone in the audience wanted to provide testimony. He noted that the two chapters are being
considered together so anyone could testify on either or both proposed amendments at the same time.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - February 5, 2008
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page 4 of8
7:07:05 PM Sheila Fink, 6777 SW Alden, Garden Home, OR 97223, said she works with CPAH (Community
Partners for Affordable Housing) based in Tigard. She said, "We are very impressed with what a small city like
Tigard has been able to do to make a difference over the past decade on this issue. We think economy and
housing are integrally linked and we see that every day when we see the number of cars that are congested on
217, Pacific Highway, Greenberg Road and other arterials because a lot of people who work here still can't
afford to live here." She encouraged Tigard to do anything it can as a city to further take action measures
linking the needs of the workforce with housing that can fit it. She said, "We certainly appreciate your actions.
We know you have done that in the past in a very concrete way and it's been an inspiration to other small cities
in Washington County." She thanked staff for attending a recent Chamber of Commerce meeting because she
said a lot of small businesses struggle with workforce housing and it was a good way to link these things for
them. She said they could see there were steps that could be taken to make a difference.
Councilor Sherwood said that she requested that the City decline to adopt the affordable housing goal that
Metro had set because Tigard had already had met it.
Mayor Dirksen asked if anyone else wanted to testify on the issues of Housing or Economic Development. No
one asked to speak.
Mayor Dirksen asked staff for their recommendation. Associate Planner Farrelly said staff has found that the
language included in the amendment complies with applicable State Land Use Goals, the City's Municipal Code
and Comprehensive Plan polices as well as federal, state and regional plans and regulations. He said staff
recommended adopting the language forwarded by the Planning Commission with the alternative language
found in Attachment 1 that addresses the Council workshop discussion.
Mayor Dirksen asked if Council had any questions. Councilor Wilson asked if Exhibit A already had the
updated language. Associate Planner Farrelly said it did not; the Council Workshop changes were included in
Attachment 1. He said Exhibit D explained changes recommended by Planning Commission which have been
incorporated into Exhibit A, and Attachment 1 reflects what was discussed at Council Workshop meeting.
City Manager Prosser clarified procedures saying if Council wants to move forward with the changes in the
memo, a motion would be required to amend Exhibit A to include Attachment 1, and then when adopting the
Ordinance with Exhibit A and any other amendments, they would be incorporated.
Councilor Woodruff asked why income information was not more current than 2003. Assistant Community
Development Director Bunch said staff relies on census data. Associate Planner Farrelly said this is updated
every five years and will be updated again in 2008.
Councilor Wilson asked about Goal 6 on page 9-5 and said there are so many different kinds of businesses and
to evaluate them solely in terms of employees per acre is simplistic. He suggested removing the words, "to gain
higher numbers of employers per acre." He said many types of businesses are needed for an urban area to
function including distribution centers where there may be large acreage needed but fewer employees.
Mayor Dirksen asked staff for their input on Councilor Wilson's suggestion. Associate Planner Farrelly agreed
that increasing the number of employers per acre is not the main goal and what is wanted is more efficient use
of land.
Mayor Dirksen asked what Goal 9.1, Policy 3 on page 9-4 meant. Associate Planner Farrelly said it came from a
citizen comment that the policy saying the City should be flexible was overly concerned about economics and
not concerned about other community interests. He said, "The way we satisfied that citizen was adding the
infrastructure part at the end." He said what they meant was that the City should be flexible and adaptive so as
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - February 5, 2008
Cityof Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page g of8
not to preclude economic development, as long as there is planned and existing infrastructure available. He
asked if this answered Council's questions.
Councilor Wilson said that it did not. Mayor Dirksen moved to add "so as not to preclude desirable economic
opportunities that are compatible with existing or reasonably achievable infrastructure." Councilor Sherwood
seconded the motion.
Councilor Wilson said the language needed to be stronger. He said it would be easy to up-zone and allow
density. He said, "The Washington Square Regional Center requires $200 million dollars of infrastructure and
there is no means to finance that. I think you have to be responsible in your planning to allow things to happen
only at a pace that can be supported." He suggested the words, "promote desirable economic development."
Assistant Community Development Director Bunch said the key objective is to get the desired economic
development opportunities but not overrun the City's infrastructure capabilities. He suggested the following
replacement language for Policy 3, "The City's land use and regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive to
promote economic development opportunities provided required infrastructure is made available."
Mayor Dirksen withdrew his motion and asked Councilor Sherwood if she withdrew her second to that motion.
Councilor Sherwood said she did.
Mayor Dirksen made a new motion to include amended language as recommended by Mr. Bunch. Councilor
Sherwood seconded and the motion passed unanimously by all Council present.

4. 7:36:06 PM DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED MAJOR STREETS TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT
PLAN (MSTIP) 4 AND UPDATED TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE (TIF)/SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
CHARGES (SDC)
Engineer Duenas gave the staff report. He said the Washington County Coordinating Committee is proposing
two ballot measures. He said an update of the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) with an added System Development
Charge (SDC) will be on the ballot in May. The other is a continuation of the Major Streets Transportation
Improvement Program and will be known as MSTIP 4.
Engineer Duenas said the County and Coordinating Committee have narrowed it down to two options. He
said one option is to keep the existing TIF and then pass an additional SDC, and the other option is to rework
the existing TIF to comply with current SDC law but have it voted on for adoption as a tax. He said there are
complicating factors and a short time frame so he expected a lot of discussion on this at the February 11, 2008
Washington County Coordinating Committee meeting.
Councilor Wilson asked how TIF's are collected and if the City collects them and then passes them to the
County. Engineer Duenas said the City keeps the money collected but it needs to be expended on
improvements to capacity collectors.
Councilor Wilson questioned why Areas 63 & 64 TIF's would be collected by County but not spent here on the
impact they create for Tigard. Mayor Dirksen said unincorporated area TIF's are collected by Washington
County but can be spent anywhere in the system if the County recognizes that certain areas are affected. He said
that typically these projects would be brought before the WCCC so all representatives have an opportunity to
weigh in before these funds are allocated.
Engineer Duenas said the current TIF only covers 20% of the costs of development and the direction from the
County and City leaders is to double the TIF collections. He said this does not preclude cities from having their
own TIF's.
He said MSTIP 4 project requests for a 200% list had been revised and Tigard projects remaining on the revised
list include Walnut Street improvements from 116`'' to Highway 99W, 72"`' Avenue in the Tigard Triangle, and
the realignment of the Hunziker, Scoffins & Hall intersections. Engineer Duenas said because of his and other
city's input the MSTIP4 rankings have been updated. He said each jurisdiction gets to pick their top two
projects and then some money is taken for bike/pedestrian and county road improvements. He said the
remainder is used for major system-wide projects that benefit the entire system.
He referred to the project list distributed to Council and said two Walnut Street projects in Tigard made the
cutoff. He felt this was positive because future development can help pay for 72" a Street improvements but
Walnut Street probably couldn't get development funding. He noted that this list was not final and some cuts
would still be made.
Mayor Dirksen noted that Scholls Ferry Road signal coordination remains on the list and while it was not
submitted by the City, Tigard will benefit.
Mayor Dirksen said he was not in agreement with the criteria but is interested in the opinions of Council and
asked for their feedback so he could carry back their comments to the February 11" WCCC meeting.
Councilor Sherwood said if no projects in the Measure would benefit Tigard she would not support it.
Councilor Wilson said he would prefer that allavailable funds not be put on the Walnut Street projects, noting
that he has never seen a traffic jam on Walnut and other streets needed to be done too. Engineer Duenas said
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - February 5, 2008
Cityof Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov Page 7of8
it will be interesting to see what happens when the Murray Boulevard extension opens. He said traffic counts
will be conducted before and after but he anticipates there will be more traffic on Walnut and Gaarde after the
extension is opened. Mayor Dirksen said this project ranked highly not because of congestion but because of
safety.
Councilor Sherwood said she gets many complaints from people using that street. Engineer Duenas said
Walnut Street has two separate segments with two scopes. He said rights of way had been purchased already
for the Tiedeman to 99W segment. He also said flashing lights near Fowler Middle School would be installed
which only flash during certain parts of the day allowing traffic to move more freely at other times. Councilor
Sherwood noted that this would include more sidewalks as well.
Mayor Dirksen said 72°a Avenue has greater priority for him and is a county-wide issue. He thanked Engineer
Duenas for the update.
NON-AGENDA ITEMS - Councilor Sherwood said the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
committee met to review project applications. She said unfortunately, because of the way the ratings were set
up, funding is not assured if a project has already started. Because of this the Tigard Senior Center came in
fourth on the list. She also mentioned that President Bush is looking to reduce the CDBG program by half.
Councilor Woodruff thanked Assistant City Manager Newton and staff who coordinated the Neighborhood
Network Open House. City Manager Prosser said the open house was well attended and was a success.
Councilor Woodruff moved for adjournment at 8:05 p.m. Councilor Sherwood seconded the motion and all
voted in favor.

CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT I i
Decision-makers must have an effective way to hear the voices of the
community These voices are a key component to a livable community
and help elected officials in establishing the priorities for City
government. This value given to citizen involvement is not a new idea, but one
that professionals in the planning field have long identified as an important
aspect of the planning process. This is particularly true at the local level where
neighborhood residents need to be empowered to help develop ideas and plans
that reflect the wishes of the community. The City's commitment to Citizen
Involvement is partly based on Statewide Planning Goal 1.
` .
f Citizen Involveinent
"To develop a citizen involvement program that ensures the opportunity for citizens to be
involved in all phases of the planning process."
Goal 1 requires the local citizen involvement program "clearly define procedures
by which the general public will be involved in the ongoing land-use process."
These actions include methods to involve citizens in land use issues; promoting
successful two-way communication and feedback between the City and its
citizens; means by which citizens may affect
outcomes; clarity and availability of technical
"Td
information; and financial support and other •
resources for citizen involvement efforts. All of

Citizen Involvement
Requirements and Aspirations
Tigard complies with the state's citizen involve- `
ment requirements as they relate to the City's land use program activities. As part
of its Community Development Code, the City has adopted application, notice,
and hearing procedures that assure the procedural rights of both applicants and
citizens are observed during quasi-judicial land use procedures. In addition, the
Development Code contains specific notice, application, and procedural require-
ments to guide the review and hearing process of legislative land use matters
such as the update of the Comprehensive Plan; changes to the Community
Development Code; Plan and Zoning Map amendments; and development of
specific area plans, etc.
Comprehensive Plan City of Tigard 1-1
t1 CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
It is the City's intention to maintain and improve citizen involvement as
part of the land use planning program. However, Tigard also values citizen
involvement in all other City government venues. The City aspires to engage
its citizens to address important community issues and for them to express
their collective voice to decision-makers. Therefore, the Citizen Involvement
chapter includes goals, policies and recommended action measures that reflect
Tigard's citizen involvement values and aspirations, as well as the need to
observe state requirements related to land use planning.
Citizen Involvement in Tigard
"Tigard b.
Tigard has a long history of citizen involve-
a long bistory ment in City affairs, including land use planning.
The structure of citizen involvement has

evolved over time, beginning with the creation

thereafter, in 1973 the City began to formulate
in City affairs, I.
Neighborhood Planning Organizations (NPOs)
and a Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI),
including land
both of which were formally recognized in 1975.
After the creation of Neighborhood Plans,
participation in NPOs and the CCI lapsed until
they were reestablished in 1982 to work on an
update of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. After
the updated plan was approved by the Land Conservation and Development
Commission in 1984, the function of NPOs transitioned to a community
involvement body focused on land use issues.
In 1992, the City Council prioritized citizen involvement and replaced the
Neighborhood Planning Organizations with Citizen Involvement Teams (CITs).
At this time the Comprehensive Plan was updated to shift emphasis from the
NPOs to the CITs. The structure of the Committee for Citizen Involvement
(CCI) was also revised to include Citizen Involvement Team Facilitators. This
effort continued until 2002 when participation reached a lull.
In 2004 the City again took steps to reactivate the CCI. The CCI's membership
was expanded to include the remaining Citizen Involvement Team Facilitators
and a representative from each of the City's active boards and commissions
(Planning Commission, Library Board, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board,
1-2 City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan
CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
etc). The focus of the CCI was also expanded to include the promotion and
enhancement of citizen participation in the wide range of non land use issues,
and on improving the effectiveness of the City's two-way communication
with citizens.

Tigard Neighborhood Program representatives.
Besides the CCI and Neighborhood Program, the City involves its citizens
and seeks advice on important community issues in several other ways. These
include Council appointed boards and commissions such as the Planning
Commission, Library Board, Tree Board, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board,
Budget Committee, Youth Advisory Committee, etc. Furthermore, Council
often appoints ad hoc citizen committees to provide advice on matters such as
public facilities, land-use, urban design, transportation projects, etc.
Honoring Past Citizen Involvement -
"Tigard Beyond Tomorrow"
The Tigard Comprehensive Plan also honors the past efforts by Tigard's
citizens to express a shared community vision of the future. During the past
decade Tigard citizens met and assembled the Tigard Vision from the results
of community workshops, surveys, open houses, and ongoing dialogues with
citizens and the business community. The values and aspirations expressed
by "Tigard Beyond Tomorrow" visioning have been significant in the 2007
Comprehensive Plan update.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
conomic activity is the lifeblood of any community: providing jobs,
creating wealth, andz generating tax revenue. Tigard's economy is
intertwined with the economy of the region, the nation, and the world.
Econon-iic •Developinent
"To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities
vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens."
Tigard's location at the crossroads of several transportation routes has proven to
be a major advantage. Other advantages include the relatively high educational
attainment level of its citizens and its proximity to the high technology centers
in Washington County and major educational institutions such as Portland State
University and Portland Community College. A recent study found that Tigard
was a "hub for innovation" for a city its size, due to the comparatively high
percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business.
Tigard residents envision a future economy that builds on these strengths.
Tigard shall have a strong and resilient local economy with a diverse portfolio
of economic activity: retail, professional service, and industrial jobs. The local
economy shall provide for goods and services for local resident and business
needs but also have the goal of expanding the "traded sector." This sector sells
goods and services outside the region to the broader state, national, and inter-
national markets and/or produces goods and services that normally would have
to be imported to the community. These businesses bring income into the
community or region and keep local income from going elsewhere.
Tigard's future economy may include activities whose characteristics are not
foreseeable at this time such as live-work arrangements; light manufacturing
combined with research and development; creative crafts and arts such as film,
advertising, communications, etc. Therefore, the City's land use and other
regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable
economic development opportunities.
Tigard is sometimes perceived as a bedroom community for nearby cities. This
is not accurate. Tigard businesses provide 38,628 full and part time jobs in 2005
(State of Oregon Employment Department). This number is greater than the
number of Tigard residents over the age of 16 in the workforce: 25,537 (O.E.D,
2006). Seventy percent of Tigard residents work outside the City, so thousands
of workers from throughout the region are regularly commuting to Tigard jobs

(2000 Census). The City shall seek to expand the opportunities for residents to
work closer to where they live. This will require promoting a mix of high quality
housing opportunities for households with varying incomes.
Quality of life factors shall be promoted to attract economic investments and
a skilled work force. Among these factors are an attractive and well-main-
tained community; high levels of public safety; accessible and responsive local
government; availability of a variety of housing, good public schools; access
to nature, high quality parks, leisure and recreation activities, safe and conve-
nient multi-modal transportation opportunities, and smoothly running essential
infrastructure.
State and Regional Policies: The Department of Land Conservation and
Development (DLCD) and Metro have developed policies that address
economic opportunities, which are based on Statewide Planning Goal 9.
A major emphasis of the Goal 9 policies is to preserve and protect land for
industrial and employment uses. Metro has sought to implement this on a
regional basis. Title 4 of the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan
identifies Industrial and Other Employment Areas that are important to the
region.
Tigard has little available vacant land suitable for new large-scale industrial devel-
opment. The City is severely limited in its ability to expand its boundaries, so
the only way to designate new industrial land would be to re-zone existing land.
This is unlikely to happen at a large scale. Alternately, the City could encourage
industrial-type uses that are not as land intensive.
Tigard can ensure a strong economy with these desired characteristics by
working on a formal economic development program. In the near term the
Downtown Urban Renewal District has the potential to redevelop and attract
additional employment and economic activity.
KEY FINDINGS:
■ Tigard is home to a wide range of economic activity.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
■ Tigard does not have a formal city-wide economic development strategy.
■ Tigard's location at the crossroads of important transportation corridors I-5,
Hwy 217, and Hwy 99W is a major advantage in attracting economic activity.
■ Approximately 31% of Tigard's land area is
zoned for commercial, industrial, and mixed
use purposes. These properties represent
about 31% of the total assessed property

attractor of commuters.
■ The mean travel time to work for Tigard resi-

■ In Tigard, the Wholesale Trade sector has the largest amount of sales. The
Retail sector has the largest annual aggregate payroll and largest number of
workers.
■ Financial Activities, Retail, and Construction are employment sectors with

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
■ Metro has designated approximately 1,100 acres of Industrial and
Commercially zoned properties in Tigard as Title 4 Industrial and
Employment Areas. Tigard will have to amend its code to limit the develop-
ment of retail and service uses for some I-P zone properties.
■ There has been no large-scale encroachment of retail/office uses in indus-
trial areas in Tigard.
■ In 1997 Metro assigned Tigard a capacity of 17,801 new jobs by the year
2017. Between 1997 and 2004, Tigard added approximately 3,800 jobs.
■ Tigard's supply of industrially zoned land will likely be inadequate to meet
the forecasted 2024 job demand in this area. It appears that there is an
adequate supply of commercial land.
• Tigard has little vacant industrial land available to attract new large scale
industrial development.
■ A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation." A study of
patents and communities by the research firm iPiQ found that in 2005,
Tigard had a high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small
business (29). The study attributed this to Tigard's lower rents and taxes
attracting professionals from Portland and Beaverton.

eeplace to call home must find a suitable match between
rice, location, housing type, and lifestyle, which can be a daunting
task. In Oregon, the state planning goals aim to broaden the available selection.
Each jurisdiction, including Tigard, must provide the opportunity for different
"sizes" of housing to fit residents' varied needs, considering available land, price
ranges, rent levels and housing type.
€a : .
"To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state."
Some of the factors that local governments can influence are the supply of
available residential land; the availability of public services; development regula-
tions (density and design), and support for low and moderate income housing.
In the Portland metropolitan region, only land
included in the Metro Urban Growth Boundary `Wq5en it
(UGB), an invisible line that separates rural areas
from suburban, can be developed at residential comes to
densities requiring urban services. At the local
level, each state and regional jurisdiction must bousing, one
inventory its buildable land, which is defined as size does not
vacant and re-developable land suitable for resi-
dential use, to determine housing capacity. Tigard fit all.33
maintains a buildable lands inventory (BLI) that
tracks available residential land. Two state and
Metro requirements help determine housing capacities on buildable land within
the Portland Metropolitan Area - the state Metropolitan Housing Rule and Title
1 of Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan (Functional Plan).
Both focus on increasing jurisdictions' housing capacity in order to use land
within the UGB efficiently.
The Metropolitan Housing Rule (OAR 660-007/Division 7) established regional
residential density and mix standards for communities within the Metro UGB. It
set minimum residential density standards for new construction by jurisdiction.
Tigard must provide for an overall density opportunity of 10 or more dwelling
units per net buildable acre, as well as designate sufficient buildable land to
provide the opportunity for at least 50% of new residential units to be attached
housing (either single-family or multiple-family.)
Comprehensive Plan City of Tigard 104
■
HOUSING
Urban Growth Management Functional Plan
Metro implements Goal 10 through Title 1. To meet Title 1, each jurisdiction
was required to determine its housing capacity and adopt minimum density
requirements. Tigard adopted an 80% of minimum density requirement for
development in 1998, which means that a development must build 80% of the
maximum units allowed by the zoning designation. The City has a committed
to providing the development opportunity for an additional 6,308 dwelling
units between 1998 - 2017. This number shows
Tigard's zoned capacity for additional dwelling
units. It is an estimate based on the minimum

tial zoning district, assuming minimum density
• requirements.
inahitains The City of Tigard maintains an up-to-date build-
able lands inventory, a permit tracking system
biii1dable for development, as well as complying with
laiids Metro's Functional Plan. The City is responsible
for monitoring residential development. All of
these tools aid the City in monitoring its progress
toward the above goals, and determining if the
opportunity remains for current and future resi-
dents to have diverse housing choices.
Tigard's Geographic Limits to Growth
In the last several years, Washington County has urbanized significant areas of
unincorporated land to the south and west of Tigard. It and service districts
provide the minimum required facilities and services. The county's actions
combined with state annexation law make it is improbable that most of these
developed lands will annex to Tigard. Urbanized unincorporated land forms a
barrier between Tigard and unincorporated urban growth areas designated by
Metro. Thus Tigard is unlikely to expand its City boundaries in the future. The
lack of vacant residential land will require Tigard to meet its housing capacity
commitment within its current, mostly built-out, City limits. This will require
actions to increase residential density within the appropriate areas such as along
major transportation corridors, and within designated Regional and Town
Centers. Thus, much new residential development will occur through urban
infill and redevelopment.

HOUSING
Affordable Housing/ Special Needs Housing
Metro also addresses affordable housing in Title 7 of its Functional Plan. Title
7 includes voluntary affordable housing production goals and other afford-
able housing strategies. Tigard has undertaken a variety of voluntary actions to
support and enhance opportunities for affordable housing, including offset-
ting City fees and charges for affordable housing, and a tax exemption for low
income housing developed by nonprofits. Among the organizations involved
in low income housing, special needs housing, and emergency housing,
are Community Partners for Affordable Housing, Tualatin Valley Housing
Partners, Luke-Dorf, and the Good Neighbor Center. Tigard is also part of the
Washington County Housing Consortium that utilizes home and CDBG funds
to provide housing opportunities.
KEY FINDINGS:
■ Approximately two-thirds of Tigard is zoned for residential land uses
(68.6%).
■ There are 19,468 single-family and multi-family housing units in Tigard, with
an additional 55 mobile homes and 14 manufactured homes. 63.5% of the
total units are single-family and 36.5 % are multi-family.
■ Eighty-one percent of housing units were built after 1970.
■ Most new housing built since 1994 has been single-family attached or
detached (82%).
■ The majority of Tigard residents own their homes (589/6), with 41% paying
rent (2000 Census).
■ Over the last five years, Portland region housing prices have rapidly
escalated. In Tigard, the 2005 median house price was $269,900, up 18%
from 2004, and 46% from 2000.
• The 1999 median household income for Washington County was $52,122.
For Tigard the median household income was $51,581.
■ In the Portland metropolitan area in 2005, the ratio of house prices to wages
was 6.8. ($41,623 median wage vs. $282,900 median house value.) This
compares to an average ratio of 5.5 for the United States as a whole.
■ In a fall 2004 survey, apartment rents averaged $705 a month, which would

be affordable for households making $28,200 or more annually, almost half
of the median income. The 93% occupancy rate was lower than the optimal
rate (95%), showing weaker demand; however, recent housing price increases
could reverse this trend.

■
Tigard itself does not construct affordable
low to moderate income housing. Most of
this housing in Washington County is constructed by non-profits using state
and federal subsidies.
■ A large portion of the 2005 BLI is zoned low density (54% is R-3.5 or R-
4.5) or medium density (26% is R-7). No land zoned R-40 remains on the
inventory. The majority of available lots are one acre or less in size.
■ Between 1994 and 2006, 3,380 housing units have been built in the City. This
is 54% of its Titled zoned capacity number of 6,308 units (Metro Title 1;
based on 1996 boundaries).
■ Based on this data, if the City developed its remaining residential buildable
lands, an additional 2,879 to 3,456 units could be built.
■ Since 1994 the overall density of residential construction Citywide has been
6.8 dwelling units per acre. It is expected that more attached residential units
will be constructed through redevelopment and infill as remaining single-
family residential land is developed.

We had scheduled a discussion from the City of Tualatin on tomorrow night's agenda regarding their interest in
possibly building a second pedestrian bridge across the Tualatin River near 108th Ave. I just received a call from
Paul Hennon with the City of Tualatin. Upon further research, Tualatin has determined that this crossing would be
cost-prohibitive. They do not intend to pursue this issue. As a result, this item needs to be removed from
tomorrow night's agenda.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Public Hearing for Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA2007-00005 - Update the goals,
policies, and recommended action measures pertaining to Statewide Planning Goal 1: Citizen Involvement.
Prepared By: Marissa Daniels Dept Head Approval: City Mgr Approval:
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall Council approve the Planning Commission's recommendation to adopt the Comprehensive Plan Amendment
(CPA2007-00005) to update the goals, policies, and recommended action measures applicable to Statewide Planning
Goal 1?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Planning Commission's recommendation and adopt the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment to
update goals, policies, and recommended action measures pertaining to Statewide Planning Goal 1, Citizen
Involvement.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The proposed Citizen Involvement chapter included in the amendment is a result of Council's direction to complete a
full update of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. Unlike the other Comprehensive Plan chapters reviewed so far, this
section was not included in the Tigard 2007 Resource Document. Instead, the background information and key findings are
included in the attached text. In addition to the key findings, staff considered relevant findings from past citizen surveys
and the Tigard visioning project. This ensured that the expressed values and attitudes of the hundreds of citizens who
participated in these efforts were incorporated into the update of the Comprehensive Plan.
Council's direction to update the Comprehensive Plan also stressed the importance of garnering citizen input. Staff has
done this through a Policy Interest Team that met several times. This was a unique opportunity for the Policy Interest
Team, and the Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI), who worked together on this chapter: First, the CCI has
been reviewing the Comprehensive Plan Public Involvement Program throughout this process. Updating this chapter
was their opportunity to participate and provide comments on the overall Comprehensive Plan citizen involvement
process. Second, the expertise of the CCI is very apparent in the draft policy language. Bev Froude, a member of the
CCI, has been volunteering with the City of Tigard since she moved to the area in 1971. Sue Carver, another CCI
member, is currently celebrating her 25th year of service to the Tigard Community. Lastly, this interest team was unique
because it included a Planning Commissioner - Rex Caffall who also serves on the CCI.
Through consideration of the above technical information and previously expressed values and attitudes, the Policy
Interest Teams and staff formulated draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures to pass on to the Planning
Commission. Subsequently, the Planning Commission held a public workshop on November 19, 2007, and a public
1:\L.RPLN\COMPPLAN\Volumcll\CPA\2007-00005\CC Hearing\2-5-08 CC Hearing CPA2007-00005 AIS.doc 1
hearing on December 3, 2007. The Commission recommended that Council adopt the updated chapter included in
CPA2007-00005. At the public hearing, the Commission did not make any changes.
Like all updated Plan chapters that will come before Council, it is important that the Citizen Involvement chapter be
technically sound. Therefore, during the development of the chapter, a Department Review Team was involved to
determine its technical accuracy and conformance with applicable laws and rules. In addition, the updated chapter was
sent to state and regional agencies for review. The state's Citizen Involvement Advisory Committee (CIAC) also had an
opportunity to comment. Those comments, and staff's replies, are available in the Staff Report to the Planning
Commission.
The intent of the updated chapter is to provide Tigard a much better foundation on which to prepare ordinances,
associated plans, development standards, programs, and intergovernmental agreements. This is necessary to provide the
tools needed to improve community livability by ensuring citizens have an opportunity to participate in all aspects of
City government. By adopting the new Comprehensive Plan chapter, the City shows its commitment to these
principles, whether they are required by federal, state, and regional regulations, or simply the aspirations and wishes of
the community.
The two goals contained in this chapter revolve around Statewide Planning Goal 1. The first goal focuses on citizen
involvement in land use- ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate in all phases of the planning process.
The second goal is more general; it stresses that citizens should have access to information and opportunities to
communicate with City staff, elected, and appointed officials.
The proposed plan chapter is a significant change from that currently in the Comprehensive Plan, which is limited in
scope and out-of-date. The existing chapter identifies the Citizen Involvement Teams, which no longer exist, as the
primary means for carrying out the citizen involvement program. The Oregon Land Conservation and Development
Commission (LCDC) requires jurisdictions to periodically update their plans to reflect current conditions, regulations,
and information relating to the Oregon Statewide Planning Goals. This amendment is a major stride to ensure
compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 1.
City Council reviewed the amendment at a January 15, 2007 meeting. Council concurred with the proposal, as
written, and did not indicate any changes would be necessary to be considered at its public hearing.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. Approve the Planning Commission recommendation and adopt CPA2007-00005.
2. Modify the Planning Commission recommendation and adopt CPA2007-00005.
3. Remand to the Planning Commission to hold additional hearings and deliberations for future consideration
at City Council.

CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT I 6
Decision-makers must have an effective way to hear the voices of the
community. These voices area key component to a livable community
and help elected officials in establishing the priorities for City
government. This value given to citizen involvement is not a new idea, but one
that professionals in the planning field have long identified as an. important
aspect of die planning process. ']"]us is particularly true at die local. level where
neighborhood residents need to be empowered to help develop ideas and plans
that reflect the wishes of the community. The City's comnvtment to Citizen
Involvement is partly based on Statewide Planning; Goal 1.
"To develop a citizen involvement program that ensures the opportunity for citizens to be
involved in all phases of the planning process."
Goal 1 requires the local citizen involvement program "clearly define procedures
by which the general public will be involved in the ongoing land-use process."
Thesc actions include methods to involve citizens in land use issues; promoting
successful two-way commutucation and feedback between the City and its
citizens; means by which citizens may affect
outcomes; clarity and availability of technical .
information; and financial support and other
resource, for citizen involvement efforts. All of
these actions align with the community- s vision
where citizens are informed about how to access
public services and understand their responsibility
to participate as members of the community.
Citizen Involvement
Requirements and Aspirations
Tigard complies with the state's citizen involve-
ment requirements as they relate to the City's land use program activities. As part
of its Conununity Development Code, the City has adopted application, notice,
and hearing procedures that assure the procedural rights of both applicants and
citizens are observed during quasi-judicial land use procedures. In. addition, the
Development Code contains specific notice, application, and procedural require-
ments to guide the review and hearing process of legislative land use matters
such as the update of the Comprehensive Plan; changes to the Community
Development Code; Plan and Zoning Map amendments; and development of
specific area plans, etc.
Comprehensive Plan City of 'Tigard 1_1
d P CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
It Is the City s intention to maintain and improve citizen involvement as
part of the land use planrvng program. However, Tigard also values citizen
involvement in all other City government venues. The City- aspires to engage
its citizens to address important community issues and for them to express
their collective voice to decision-makers. Therefore, the Citizen Involvement
chapter includes goals, policies and recommended action measures that reflect
Tigard's citizen involvement values and aspirations, as well as the need to
observe state requirements related to land use planning.
Citizen Involvement in Tigard
.yATigard has a long history of citizen involve-
ment in City affairs, including land use planning.
The structure of citizen involvement has
evolved over time, beginning with the creation
of Tigard's Community Plan in 1971. Shortly
thereafter, in 1973 the City began to formulate
Neighborhood Planning Organizations (NPOs)
and a Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI),
both of which were formally recognized in 1975.
f After the creation of Neighborhood Plans,
participation in NPOs and the CCI lapsed until
they were reestablished in 1982 to work on an
update of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. After
the updated plan was approved by the Land Conservation and Development:
Commission in 1984, the function of NPOs transitioned to a community
involvement body focused on land use issues.
In 1992, the City Council prioritized citizen involvement and replaced the
Neighborhood Planning Organizations With Citizen Involvement Teams (CITs).
At this time the Comprehensive Plan was updated to shift emphasis from the.
NPOs to the CITs. The structure of the Committee for Citizen I vvolvement
(CCI) was also revised to include Citizen Involvement Team 1 acilitators. 'I'bis
effort continued until 2002 when participation reached a lull.
In 2004 the City again took steps to reactivate the CCI. The CCFs membership
was expanded to include the remaining Citizen Involvement Teatn Facilitators
and a representative from each of the City's active boards and commissions
(Planting Commission, Library Board, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board,
1-2 Ciry of 'igard Comprehensive Plan
CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
etc). The focus of the CCI was also expanded to include the promotion and
enhancernent of citizen participation in the wide range of non land use issues,
and on improving the effectiveness of the City's two-way communication
with citizens.
In 2007 the City Council again stressed the
importance of citizen involvement
by adopting as one of its goals, "Improve
communication with Tigard's citizens." G,
Subsequently, the City moved to strengthen
citizen involvement through establishment of the
Tigard Enhanced Neighborhood Program. This
was done to foster broader and more diverse
citizen involvement in land use activities and other
aspects of City government. CCI membership
was also expanded. In addition to its current
membership, the CCI includes five citizens
appointed "at:-large," a youth representative, and
Tigard Neighborhood Program representatives. 11111 111
Besides the CCI and Neighborhood Program, the City involves its citizens
and seeks advice on important community issues in several other- ways. "These
include Council appointed boards and commissions such as the Planning
Commission, Library Board, Tree Beard, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board,
Budget Committee, Youth Advisory Conunittee, etc. Furthermore, Council
often appoints ad hoc citizen committees to provide advice on matters such as
public facilities, land-use, urban design, transportation projects, etc.
Honoring Past Citizen Involvement -
"Tigard Beyond Tomorrow"
The Tigard Comprehensive Plan also honors the past efforts by Tigard",-,
citizens to express a. shared commwuty vision of the fixture. During the past
decade Tigard citizens met and assembled the Tigard Vision from the results
of community workshops, surveys, open houses, and ongoing dialogues with
citizens and the business community. The values and aspirations expressed
by ",Tigard Beyond Tomorrow" visioning have been significant in the 2007
Comprehensive Plan update.

KEY FINDINGS:
■ Tigard's citizen involvement efforts have changed over tune and the
Comprehensive Plan's current Citizen Involvement chapter is out of date.
It requires sigwficant update to reflect current conditions, circumstances,
community values and aspirations.
- Tigard's citizen involvement efforts are
partially based on Statewide Planning Goal
Citizen lnvolvement. However, the City
n values citizen involvement in all aspects of
City government and seeks to involve its
citizens in other venues.
■ Implementing Statewide Planning Goal 1 and
t Tigard Development Code Standards will
ensure citizens can participate in the
City's quasi-judicial and legislative land use
processes.
Other avenues for citizen participation
include Council appointed boards and
commissions and ad hoc citizen advisory
committees.
` Tigard is committed to: successful tNvo-way
r communvcation and feedback between the
City and its citizens; providing processes by
which citizens may affect outcomes; clarity
and availability of technical information;
and providing financial support and other
resources for citizen involvement efforts.
■ The charge of the Committee for Citizen Involvement is to promote
citizen involvement in land use matters and in many other aspects of City
government.
■ Update of the Comprehensive Plan has involved a structured citizen involve-
ment effort including open houses, engagement of policy interest teams
and boards and coma-lisslons, Planning Commission, and City Council
work sessions and public hearings. Also, the Comprehensive Plan project
has been significantly informed by. the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow visioning
process.

1-8 Cit}7 of Tigard Comprehensive Plan
2. CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
This chapter addresses Statewide Planning Goal #1:
"To develop a citizen involvement program that ensures the opportunity for citizens to be involved
in all phases of the planning process."
Tigard is now well known for its active citizen participation program; primarily with the Neighborhood Planning
Organizations. Through the drafting and adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, these organizations contributed
their time and energy developing Tigard's plan.
Plan policies have been prepared to preserve the continuity of Tigard's active citizen involvement program and
to ensure that citizens will continue to have access to information that enables them to identify, understand, and
have input into the planning issues related to implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
Additional information on this topic is available in the "Comprehensive Plan Report: Citizens Involvement."
Findings
• Throughout the development of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, the City has actively sought the
participation of Neighborhood Planning Organizations and other citizens groups.
• The Neighborhood Planning Organizations and the Committee for Citizen Involvement met on a monthly
basis throughout the Comprehensive Plan revision process.
• Continued citizen participation in all aspects of land use planning helps to ensure that City government
meets the needs of Tigard's citizens.
• In order to participate in land use planning decisions, citizens need to have access to information which
enables them to become aware of and informed about planning issues and City policies. It is essential
that this information be made available to all citizens in an understandable form.
• Land use planning education is important to promote and stimulate interest in the citizen participation
process during all phases of planning.
POLICY

adequate meeting places, distribution of materials, policy direction and staff involvement.
3. Additional citizen task forces shall be appointed by the City Council, as the need arises, to advise the
City with regard to Comprehensive Plan issues.
POLICY
2.1.2 THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT PROVIDED BY THE CITY SHALL BE

SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Project History
The Tigard Comprehensive Plan is the primary document that guides land use decisions within the
community. It outlines goals, policies, and recommended action measures that are intended to
reflect the community's values and aspirations for a broad range of matters relating to land use
planning and growth management. It also aims to organize and coordinate the relationships
between people, land, resources, and facilities to meet the current and future needs of Tigard.
The Tigard Comprehensive Plan is required by State law and must conform to 12 of the 19 Oregon
Statewide Planning Goals. Land development and related activities, including the City's
development codes, also must be consistent with adopted Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.
It is now seven years beyond the year 2000 planning horizon of the City's 1983 Comprehensive
Plan. Tigard has grown dramatically since 1983, from 18,379 residents to 46,300 today. Jobs and
business activity have grown just as fast. Although minor updates have taken place over the years,
the 1983 Plan, in many ways, does not reflect current and projected community conditions. For this
reason, it is necessary to undertake a thorough update. This is important to ensure the Plan remains
a viable tool for decision-makers and citizens to use when seeking policy direction regarding land
use and Tigard's future. For this reason, the Tigard City Council has made it a goal to update the
Comprehensive Plan.
The first step in updating the Tigard Comprehensive Plan involved City staff developing a fact base
to inform the update. The result was the Tigard 2007 resource document completed in February
2007. Key findings from Tigard 2007, combined with community issues and values, form the basis
for Plan goals, policies, and recommended action measures. Community issues and values were
identified through the community's visioning process and a number of surveys completed over the
last several years.
The second step involved community volunteers and stakeholders coming together to develop
draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures. These Policy Interest Teams have been
meeting over the past several months to discuss Comprehensive Plan topics in which they share an
interest. City Department Review Teams then review and provide comment on the work of the
policy interest teams. These final draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures are then
forwarded to the Planning Commission to begin the legislative process.
The final step is the legislative process. Since each of the Policy Interest Teams are moving at their
own pace, Staff will be bringing a series of Comprehensive Plan Amendments (CPA) through the
legislative process over the next several months. Each CPA will correspond to a Statewide
Planning Goal that is applicable to Tigard. The CPA will strike the appropriate language from the
existing plan and replace the language with an updated chapter that addresses that particular
Statewide Planning Goal.
The chapter before the Planning Commission tonight is Citizen Involvement (Goal 1). The
Planning Commission held a workshop on November 19th to discuss the draft goals, policies, and
recommended action measures that were formulated based on the input from the policy interest
and department review teams. At the Planning Commission workshop, the following changes were
requested (also found in Exhibit A with deleted text as strikeetits and added text underlined):

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00005 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 1 PAGE 2 OF 12
The Planning Commission noted a word change in Goal 1.1 Policy 4, the language should be
changed from "appropriate" to "appointed." Staff made the following changes to the language:
4. The City shall provide staff and financial support to the Committee for Citizen Involvement
and any other appropriate appointed board at d or committee.
Additionally, staff recommends one minor word change to the proposed amendment since the
Planning Commission workshop. This recommendations are based on feedback from the City
Council at the public hearing for earlier Comprehensive Plan update amendments. For example,
the Council prefers the word inform over educate and require over ensure. For the sake of
timeliness, staff feels these changes should be made at the Planning Commission level so the same
changes do not continually need to be made at the Council hearings. The following change is
recommended:
vi. Utilize methods such as town halls, open houses, public displays, newsletters, mailings, and the
internet to edtieftte inform the public about important issues and events.
Proposal Description
The primary intent of the proposed update is to ensure the Comprehensive Plan remains a viable
tool for decision-makers. By updating the Comprehensive Plan, the City will ensure it is in
compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, plans, and programs. As importantly, the
update will also ensure the Comprehensive Plan reflects current community conditions and
values.
This amendment is part of a series of amendments that will update the Comprehensive Plan in its
entirety. This amendment will update Statewide Planning Goal 1 with goals, policies, and
recommended action measures that will serve as the "legislative foundation" in regards to citizen
involvement. Land use actions and amendments to the Tigard Development Code will be based
on the new language included in this amendment.
Below is an explanation of the terms that create the "legislative foundation":
Goal
Definition - A general statement indicating a desired end or the direction the City will follow to
achieve that end.
Obligation - The City cannot take action which violates a goal statement unless:
1. Action is being taken which clearly supports another goal.
2. There are findings indicating the goal being supported takes precedence (in the particular case)
over another.
Polig
Definition - A statement identifying Tigard's position and a definitive course of action. Policies are
more specific than goals. They often identify the City's position in regard to implementing goals.
However, they are not the only actions the City can take to accomplish goals.
Obligation - The City must follow relevant policy statements when amending the Comprehensive
Plan, or developing other plans or ordinances which affect land use. To amend the Comprehensive
S AF RI-.POR'I TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00005 SI'ATBWIDF.. PLANNING GOAL. 1 PAGE 3 OF 12
Plan, the City must show consistency with the Statewide Land Use Goals. Such an amendment
must take place following prescribed procedures prior to taking an action that would otherwise
violate a Plan policy.
Recommended Action Measures
Definition - A statement which outlines a specific City project or standard, which if executed,
would implement goals and policies. Recommended action measures also refer to specific projects,
standards, or courses of action the City desires other jurisdictions to take in regard to specific
issues. These statements also define the relationship the City desires to have with other jurisdictions
and agencies in implementing Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.
Obligation - Completion of projects, adoption of standards, or the creation of certain relationships
or agreements with other jurisdictions and agencies, will depend on a number of factors such as
citizen priorities, finances, staff availability, etc.
The City should periodically review and prioritize recommended action measures based on current
circumstances, community needs and the City's goal and policy obligations. These statements are
suggestions to future City decision- makers as ways to implement the goals and policies. The listing
of recommended action measures in the plan does not obligate the City to accomplish them.
Neither do recommended action measures impose obligations on applicants who request
amendments or changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The list of recommended action measures is
not exclusive. It may be added to or amended as conditions warrant.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00005 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOAL 1 PAGE 8 OF 12
City staff questioned the intent of Goal 1.2 action measure xi which reads, "Update and
maintain a list of community organizations to be contacted annually." Staff feels it is a
good idea to keep in touch with community organizations, but wanted to ensure their
involvement was meaningful. For example, what would the organizations be contacted
about?
Fes: Instead of contacting community organizations annually, staff recommends instead that
we engage Tigard's community organizations in meaningful discussions about important City
issues. Policy xii speaks to the type of two-way communication between community organizations
and City Hall which is desired. Staff recommends the following changes to the language:
xi. Update and maintain a list of community organizations to participate in
discussion of City issues.
The Department Review Team suggested adding an action measure about requiring
communication plans for review by the Citizen Involvement Committee in advance of
major City projects.
Fes: Staff agrees that the Committee for Citizen Involvement can provide valuable feedback
to departments at the outset of major projects regarding public outreach. Staff recommends
adding the following action measure to the proposed language:
xiii. Require Communication Plans in advance of major City Projects for review by the Committee
for Citizen Involvement.
CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the comments and subsequent
edits to the proposed amendment are in the best interest of the City and recommends inclusion
of the changes in the language of this proposal.

Clean Water Services (see Exhibit B) had an opportunity to review this proposal and offered the
following comments:
We recommend following the relevant provisions of the current Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) between the City of Tigard and Clean Water Services and the relevant
provisions of the current Design and Construction Standards (currently R&O 07-20) for all
issues relating to development, vegetated corridors, erosion control, and preservation of
wetlands, natural drainage ways, and enhancements thereof.
Findings: The proposed amendment does not reference issues relating to development, vegetated
corridors, erosion control, or preservation of wetlands, natural drainage ways, or enhancements
thereof. These issues, and specifically the Design and Construction Standards are discussed in the
Public Facilities (Goal 11) chapter.
The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development forwarded the comments
of the Citizen Involvement Advisory Committee (CIAC) (see Exhibit C) which included the
following comments:

necessary", "as the need arises", and "pertinent or relevant?

Staff recommends retaining the language of the Policy Interest Team in Goal 1.2, Policy 1. In
Policy 1 the CIAC recommended the word "relevant" in place of "pertinent". The Policy Interest
Team and Committee for Citizen Involvement discussed that the information should be
"pertinent" rather than )ust "relevant" to avoid information overload. Staff recommends the
following changes to simplify the language:

7) The Comprehensive Plan should also consider Statewide Planning Goal 2 and describe
how citizens have been and will be involved in the Planning Process.
Findings: Council has chosen to rearrange the Plan according to the Statewide Planning Goals and
Statewide Planning Goal 2 will be covered in an independent section of the Plan.
9) The document being replaced has some strengths that are lost in the proposed revision.
For example, "The opportunity for citizen involvement provided by the city shall be
appropriate to the scale of the planning effort and shall involve a broad cross section of the
community. How will this be achieved in the revised program that leaves out the notion of
recognized citizen groups?
Findings: This comment is referring to current Comprehensive Plan policy 2.1.2:
2.1.2 The opportunities for citizen Involvement provided by the City shall be appropriate to the
scale of the planning effort and shall involve a broad cross-section of the community:
a. The Citizen Involvement Teams shall be the primary means for carrying out the
program;
b. Where appropriate, other involvement techniques will be used; and
c. The Citizen Involvement Team Facilitators shall serve as the Committee for Citizen
Involvement and shall be responsible for evaluating the citizen involvement
program and for working with the neighborhood planning organizations in
recommending changes to the program.
Staff agrees that the policy should remain in the updated Comprehensive Plan. However, Citizen
Involvement Teams are no longer in existence, so staff recommends eliminating statements a, b,
and c from the language. The new language would be Policy 5 under Goal 1.1 and read:
6. The opportunities for citizen involvement provided by the City shall be appropriate to the scale
of the planning effort and shall involve a broad cross-section of the community.
CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the comments and subsequent
edits to the proposed amendment are in the best interest of the City and recommends inclusion
of the changes in the language of this proposal.
SECTION VIII. CONCLUSION
The proposed changes comply with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals, the Tigard

MEMORANDUM
TIGARD
TO: Mayor Craig Dirksen and Members of City Council
FROM: Marissa Daniels, Assistant Planner
RE: Council Workshop - CPA2007-00005
DATE: December 21, 2007
At the January 15, 2008 City Council meeting, staff will present the proposed goals, policies, and
recommended action measures (see the end of this memo for definitions and obligations) for the
Citizen Involvement (Statewide Planning Goal 1) chapter of the updated Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed language was approved and recommended by the Planning Commission at the December
3 public hearing. Staff will discuss the proposed language, answer questions, and provide any
requested information that will help assist Council in making its decision at the February 5 public
hearing.
Throughout the process of working with citizens, City departments, and the Planning Commission,
staff has stressed that proposed Comprehensive Plan language must be capable of being
implemented and in the interest of the whole community.
Staff has worked closely with citizen stakeholders to explain the implications of certain policy
recommendations. Most of the time, the process has achieved a consensus outcome. In staff's role
as facilitators, we presented the best professional advice possible to all involved. Sometimes this
professional advice was contrary to the wishes of the citizens, but staff has not unilaterally changed
or removed citizen recommendations. It is the role of the Planning Commission to recommend, and
the City Council to determine, City policy.
The general discussion by the Planning Commission on the Citizen Involvement chapter and the
major principles included is as follows:
Citizen Involvement Chapter (Statewide Planning Goal 1)
The key principles included in this chapter revolve around Statewide Planning Goal 1. There are two
goals contained in this chapter. The first goal is focused on citizen involvement in land use- ensuring
that everyone has the opportunity to participate in all phases of the planning process. The second
goal is more general, although it still applies to land use- ensuring citizens have access to information
1:\LRPL.N\Counci1 Materials\2008\2-5-08 Exhibit U CC Workshop CPA 2007-00005.doc 1
and opportunities to communicate with City staff, elected and appointed officials.
The Planning Commission commended the work of the Policy Interest Team and the Committee
for Citizen Involvement. The Commission did not recommend any changes to the proposed
language.
Definitions and Obligations of Goals, Policies, and Recommended Action Measures
Tigard Comprehensive Plan
Comprehensive Plan goals, policies, and recommended action measures have different definitions
and impart different obligations to decision makers. They also relate differently to one another. The
following describes goals, policies, and recommended action measures in greater detail.
Goals, policies and recommended action measures identify the intent of the City to accomplish
certain results. The goals and policies relate to one another and are obligations the City wishes to
assume. Recommended action measures support the obligations to achieve a desired end, but do not
signify an obligation themselves.
Goal
Definition - A general statement indicating a desired end or the direction the City will follow to
achieve that end.
Obligation - The City cannot take action which violates a goal statement unless:
1. Action is being taken which clearly supports another goal.
2. There are findings indicating the goal being supported takes precedence (in the particular
case) over another.
Policy
Definition - A statement identifying Tigard's position and a definitive course of action. Policies are
more specific than goals. They often identify the City's position with regard to implementing goals;
however, they are not the only actions the City can take to accomplish goals.
Obligation - The City must follow relevant policy statements when amending the Comprehensive
Plan, or developing other plans or ordinances which affect land use. To amend the Comprehensive
Plan, the City must show consistency with the Statewide Land Use Goals. Such an amendment must
take place following prescribed procedures prior to taking an action that would otherwise violate a
Plan policy.
Recommended Action Measures
Definition - A statement which outlines a specific City project or standard which, if executed, would
implement goals and policies. Recommended action measures also refer to specific projects,
standards, or courses of action the City desires other jurisdictions to take in regard to specific issues.
These statements also define the relationship the City desires to have with other jurisdictions and
agencies in implementing Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.
Obligation - Completion of projects, adoption of standards, or the creation of certain relationships
or agreements with other jurisdictions and agencies, will depend on a number of factors such as
citizen priorities, finances, staff availability, etc.
1:\I.RI3I.N\Council Materials\2008\2-5.08 Exhibit U CC Workshop CPA 2007-00005.doc 2
The City should periodically review and prioritize recommended action measures based on current
circumstances, community needs, and the City's goal and policy obligations. These statements are
suggestions to future City decision-makers as ways to implement the goals and policies. The listing
of recommended action measures in the plan does not obligate the City to accomplish them. Neither
do recommended action measures impose obligations on applicants who request amendments or
changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The list of recommended action measures is not exclusive. It
may be added to, or amended, as conditions warrant.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Of Tigard, Oregon
Issue/Agenda Title Public Hearing for Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) 2007-00006 - Update the goals,
policies, and recommended action measures pertaining to Statewide Planning Goal 9: Economic Development and
Goal 10: Housing
Prepared By: Sean Farrelly Dept Head Approval: City Mgr Approval:
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall Council approve the Planning Commission's recommendation to adopt the Comprehensive Plan Amendment
(CPA2007-00006) to update the goals, policies, and recommended action measures applicable to Statewide Planning
Goals 9 amd 10?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff proposes Council approve the Planning Commission's recommendation and adopt the proposed Comprehensive
Plan Amendment to update goals, policies, and recommended action measures pertaining to Statewide Planning
Goals 9 and 10.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The proposed amendment is a result of Council's direction to complete a full update of the Tigard Comprehensive
Plan. The updated chapter is based on the data, inventories, and community conditions included in the Tigard 2007
resource document. Additionally, staff considered relevant findings from past citizen surveys and the Tigard visioning
project.
Council has stressed the importance of citizen input in the update of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff has carried this out
by holding several Policy Interest Team meetings. Based on the above technical information and previously expressed
values and attitudes, the Policy Interest Teams and staff formulated draft goals, policies, and recommended action
measures. Subsequently, the Planning Commission held a public workshop on October 15, 2007 to review this draft
language. At this public workshop, the Commission made suggestions for revisions and additional language to be
incorporated into the amendment. At the November 19, 2007 public hearing, the Commission made a few additional
edits and voted unanimously to recommend that Council adopt the updated chapters. These changes are summarized in
staff's attached memorandum (Exhibit D).
During the development of the chapters, Department Review Teams reviewed the proposed language for technical
accuracy and conformance with applicable laws and rules. The updated chapter was also sent to regional, state, and
federal agencies for comment.
The new chapters represent Tigard citizens' aspirations and wishes and will help ensure a high quality of life and
assure the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The updated Comprehensive Plan chapters will provide the
I:\LRPLN\Council Materials \2008\2-5-08_AIS CC Hearing CPA 2007-00006.doc 1
City with an improved foundation on which to prepare ordinances, associated plans, development standards, programs,
and intergovernmental agreements, and will be a basis to plan for future growth and development.
The proposed amendment conforms to federal, state, and regional requirements. It provides a necessary update to the
current language in the Comprehensive Plan, which is out-of-date and limited in scope. The Oregon Land Conservation
and Development Commission (LCDC) requires jurisdictions to periodically update their plans to reflect current
conditions, regulations, and information relating to the Oregon Statewide Planning Goals. This amendment will act as a
major step in ensuring compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals. The goals and policies will act as the basis to
provide adequate opportunities for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of the
community and provide the opportunity for adequate housing for the needs of the community.
City Council reviewed the amendment at a January 15, 2008 meeting and had a few questions and comments on the
amendment language. At Council's direction, staff developed an additional recommended action measure and
changes in wording for key findings for the Council to consider at the public hearing on February 5, 2008. This
alternative language is outlined in the memo dated January 17, 2008 (Attachment 1).
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. Approve the Planning Commission recommendation and adopt CPA2007-00006.
2. Modify the Planning Commission recommendation and adopt CPA2007-00006.
3. Remand to the Planning Commission to hold additional hearings and deliberations for future consideration
at City Council.

shall enure require they are compatible and blend into the overall residential
environment.
Council commented that properties that are outside of Tigard's border, but directly adjacent to it,
sometimes have code enforcement issues. Council requested that a recommended action measure be
included to address this. Staffproposes the following recommended action measure:
xvi. Develop partnerships with neighboring jurisdictions on multi-jurisdictional code
enforcement issues.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
cononic activity is the .lifeblood of any community: providing jobs,
creating wealth, and generating tax revenue. Tiga.rd's economy is
intertwined with the economy of the region, the nation, and the world.
Economic Development
"To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities
vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens."
Tigard's location at the crossroads of several transportation routes has proven to
be a major advantage. Other advantages include the relatively high educational
attainment level of its citizens and its proximity to the high technology centers
in Washington County and major educational institutions such as Portland State
University and Portland Community College. A recent study found that Tigard
was a "hub for innovation" for a city its size, due to the comparatively high
percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business.
Tigard residents envision a future economy that builds on these strengths.
Tigard shall have a strong and resilient local economy with a diverse portfolio
of economic activity: retail, professional service, and industrial jobs. The local
economy shall provide for goods and services for local resident and business
needs but also have the goal of expanding the "traded sector." This sector sells
goods and services outside the region to the broader state, national, and inter-
national markets and/or produces goods and services that normally, would have
to be .imported to the comnnunity. These businesses bring income into the
community or region and keep local income from going elsewhere.
Tigard's future economy may include activities whose characteristics are not
foreseeable at this time sucli as live-work arrangements; light manufacturing
combined with research and development; creative crafts and arts such as film,
advertising, communications, etc. Therefore., the City's land use and other
regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable
economic development opportunities.
Tigard is sometimes perceived as a bedroom community for nearby cities. This
is not accurate. Tigard businesses provide 38,628 full and part time jobs in 2005
(State of Oregon Employment Department). This nrunber is greater than the
number of Tigard residents over the age of 16 in the workforce: 25,537 (O.E.D,
2006). Seventy percent of Tigard residents work outside the City, so thousands
of workers from throughout the region are regularly commuting to Tigard Jobs

(2000 Census). The City shall seek to expand the opportunities for residents to
work closer to where they live. This will regiure promoting a this of high quality.
housing opportunities for households with varying incomes.
Quality of life factors shall be promoted to attract economic investments and
a skilled work force. Among these factors are: an attractive and well-main-
tained community; high levels of public safety; accessible and responsive local
government; availability of a variety of housing; good public schools; access to
nature; high quality parks; leisure and recreation activities; safe and convenient,
multi-modal, transportation opportunities; and smoothly running essential
infrastructure.
State and Regional Policies: The Department of Land Conservation and
Development (DLCD) and Metro have developed policies that address
economic opportunities, which are based on Statewide Planning Goal 9.
.A major emphasis of the Goal 9 policies is to preserve and protect land for
industrial and employment uses. Metro has sought to implement this on a
regional basis. Title $ of the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan
identifies Industrial and Other Employment Areas that are important to the
region.
Tigard has little available vacant land suitable for new large-scale industrial devel-
opment. The City is severely limited in its ability to expand its boundaries, so
the only way to designate new industrial land would be to re-zone existing land.
Thus is unlikely to happen at a large scale. Alternately, the City could encourage
industrial-type uses that are not as land intensive.
Tigard can ensure a strong economy with these desired characteristics by
working on a formal economic development program. In the near term the
Downtown Urban Renewal District has the potential to redevelop and attract
additional employment and economic activity.
KEY FINDINGS:
■ Tigard is home to a wide range of economic activity.
■ Tigard does not have a formal city-wide economic development strategy.

■ Tigard's location at the crossroads of important transportation corridors 1-5,

■ There has been no large-scale encroachment of retail/office uses in
industrial areas in Tigard.
■ In 1997 Metro assigned "Tigard a capacity of 17,801 new jobs by the year
2017. Between 1997 and 2004, Tigard added approxirnately 3,800 jobs.
■ Tigard's supply of industrially zoned land will likely be inadequate to meet
the forecasted 2024 job demand in this area. It appears that there is an
adequate supply of commercial. land.
■ "Tigard has little vacant industrial land available to attract new large scale
industrial development..
■ A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation." A study of
patents and communities by the research firm iPIQ found that in 2003,
Tigard had a high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small
business (29). The study attributed this to Tigard's lower rents and taxes
attracting; professionals from Portland and Beaverton.

HOUSING
yen it comes to housing, one. size does not fit all. Each person
seeking a new place to call homc must find a suitable match between
price, location, housing type, and lifestyle, which can be a daunting
task. In Oregon, the state planning goals aim to broaden the available selection.
Each jurisdiction, including Tigard, must provide the opportunity for different
"sizes" of housing to fit residents' varied needs, considering available land, price
ranges, rent levels and housing type.
• I i
"To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state."
Some of the factors that local governments can influence are the supply of
available residential land; the availability of public services; development regula-
tions (density and design), and support for low and moderate income housing.
In the Portland metropolitan region, only land included in the Metro Urban
Growth Boundary (UGB), an invisible line that separates rural areas from
suburban, can be developed at residential densities requiring urban services. At
the local level, each state and regional jurisdiction must inventory its buildable
land, which is defined as vacant and re-develop-~ ,
able land suitable for residential use, to determine
housing capacity. Tigard maintains a buildable
lands inventory (BLI) that tracks available resi-
comes to
dential land. Two state and Metro requirements
help determine housing capacities on buildable bousing,one
land within the Portland Metropolitan Area - the
state Metropolitan Housing Rule and Title l of size does not
Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional fit a
Plan (Functional Plan). Both focus on increasing
jurisdictions' housing capacity in order to use land
within the UGB efficiently.
The Metropolitan Housing Rule (OAR 660-007/Division 7) established regional
residential density and mix standards for communities within the Metro UGB. It
set rninimuin residential density standards for new construction by jurisdiction.
Tigard must provide for an overall density opportunity of 10 or more dwelling
units per net buildable acre, as well as designate sufficient buildable land to
provide the opportunty for at least DO% of new residential ututs to be attached
housing (either single-family or multiple-faunily.)

HOUSING
Urban Growth Management Functional Plan
Metro implements Goal 10 through Title 1. To meet Title 1, each jurisdiction
was required to determine its housing capacity and adopt minimum density
requirements. Tigard adopted an 80% of min.unum density- requirement for
development in 1.998, which means that a development must build 80% of the
maximum units allowed by the zoning designation. The City has a committed
to provichng the development opportunity for an additional 6,308 dwelling
units between 1998 - 2017. This number shows
Tigard's zoned capacity for additional d-vvelling

Tigard's Geographic Limits to Growth
In the last several years, \Vashington County has urbanized significant areas of
unincorporated laud to the south and west of Tigard. It and service districts
provide the nvnimunm required facilities and services. The county's actions
combined with state annexation law make it is improbable that most of these
developed lands will annex to Tigard. Urbanized unincorporated land forms a
barrier between Tigard and unincorporated urban growth areas designated by
Metro. Thus Tigard is unlikely to expand its City boundaries in the future. The
lack of vacant residential land will require Tigard to meet its housing capacity
commitment within its current, mostly built-out, City limits. This will require
actions to increase residential density within the appropriate areas such as along
major transportation corridors, and within designated Regional and Town
Centers. Thus, much new residential development will occur through. urban
infilland redevelopment.

Affordable Housing/ Special Needs Housing
Metro also addresses affordable housing in Title 7 of its Functional. Plan. Title
7 includes voluntary affordable housing production goals and other afford-
able housi-ng strategies. I'iga.rd has undertaken a variety of voluntary actions to
support and enhance opportunities for affordable housing, including offset-
ting City fees and charges for affordable housing, and a tax exemption for low
income housing developed by nonprofits. Among the organizations involved
in low income housing, special needs housing, and emergency housing,
are Community Partners for Affordable Housing, 'Tualatin Z%allcy 1-lousing
Partners, Luke-Dorf, and the Good Neighbor Center. Tigard is also part of the
Washington County Housing Consortium that utilizes home and CDBG funds
to provide housing opportunities.
KEY FINDINGS:
■ Almost three-quarters of Tigard is zoned for residential land uses (68.6°io).
■ There are 19,468 single-family and multi-fanvly housing units in Tigard, with

is 54(,,'o of its 't'itle 1 zoned capacity number of 6,308 units (Metro Title 1;
based on 1996 boundaries).
■ Based on this data, if the City developed its remaining residential buildable
lands, an additional 2,879 to 3,456 units could be built.
■ Since 1994 the overall density of residential construction Citywide has been
6.8 dwelling units per acre. It is expected that more attached residential units
will be constructed through redevelopment and infill as remaining single-

CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 1 OF 18
SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Project History
The Tigard Comprehensive Plan is required by State law and must conform to 12 of the 19
Oregon Statewide Planning Goals. Land development and related activities, including the
City's development codes, also must be consistent with adopted Comprehensive Plan goals and
policies.
It is now seven years beyond the year 2000 planning horizon of the City's 1983 Comprehensive
Plan. Tigard has grown dramatically since 1983, from 18,379 residents to 46,300 today. jobs
and business activity have grown just as fast. Although minor updates have taken place over
the years, the 1983 Plan, in many ways, does not reflect current and projected community
conditions. For this reason, it is necessary to undertake a thorough update. This is important to
ensure the Plan remains a viable tool for decision-makers and citizens to use when seeking
policy direction regarding land use and Tigard's future. For this reason, the Tigard City Council
has made it a goal to update the Comprehensive Plan.
The first step in updating the Tigard Comprehensive Plan involved City staff developing a fact
base to inform the update. The result was the Tigard 2007 resource document completed in
February 2007. Key findings from Tigard 2007, combined with community issues and values,
form the basis for Plan goals, policies, and recommended action measures. Community issues
and values were identified through the community's visioning process and a number of surveys
completed over the last several years.
The second step involved community volunteers and stakeholders coming together to develop
draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures. These Policy Interest Teams have
been meeting over the past several months to discuss Comprehensive Plan topics in which they
share an interest. City Department Review Teams then review and provide comment on the
work of the policy interest teams. These final draft goals, policies, and recommended action
measures are then forwarded to the Planning Commission to begin the legislative process.
The final step is the legislative process. Since each of the Policy Interest Teams are moving at
their own pace, Staff will be bringing a series of Comprehensive Plan Amendments (CPA)
through the legislative process over the next several months. Each CPA will correspond to a
Statewide Planning Goal that is applicable to Tigard. The CPA will strike the appropriate
language from the existing plan and replace the language with an updated chapter that
addresses that particular Statewide Planning Goal.
The chapters before the Planning Commission tonight are Economic Development (Goal 9),
and Housing (Goal 10). The Planning Commission held a workshop on October 15, 2007 to
discuss the draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures that were formulated based
on the input from the policy interest and department review teams. At the Planning
Commission workshop, the following changes were requested (also found in Exhibit A with
deleted text as strikeouts and added text bold and underlined):
Economic Development
Goal 9.1
The Planning Commission requested that the recommended action measure on economic clusters
be made a policy. Policy 11 was created to reflect this.
STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 2 OF 18
11. The City shall develop economic clusters by encouraging the retention,
expansion and recruitment of industries that already have a presence in Tigard.
The Planning Commission requested recommended that a policy be added to indicate the need
for economic development be balanced with other community concerns. Policy 12 was created to
reflect this.
12. The City shall assure economic development promotes other community
qualities, such as livability and environmental quality that are necessary for a
sustainable economic future.
The Planning Commission suggested that an action measure address the potential need for an
Economic Development Director position for the City. Action Measure was revised to reflect this.
i. Develop a formal City of Tigard economic development program and strategy to implement
the community's economic development goals and policies and consider the creation of
an economic development director position to develop and implement the program.
The Planning Commission asked for more integration between residential, retail, and commercial
uses. Action Measure xii was added.
xii. Increase opportunities for higher density housing and employment development in
the Downtown Urban Renewal District, Washington Square Regional Center,
Tigard Triangle, and designated Corridors to enable more intense housing and
employment uses to be located in close proximity to transit and other urban uses.
The Planning Commission asked for additional emphasis to be placed on supporting existing
businesses that have the potential to develop into clusters. Action Measure xiii was added to
address this.
xiii. Prioritize support for businesses identified as being able to develop into regional
industry clusters.
Action Measure xiv was added in response to the Planning Commission request for developing a
branding and marketing effort for Tigard.
xiv. Improve media contacts and develop a branding / marketing effort to promote
Tigard as a place to live and do business.
STAIR REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 3 OF 18
Goal 9.2
The Planning Commission recommended that the language of Policy 1 be clarified.
1. The City shall institute provide appropriately land use zoned lands and develeprAeft
regulations to accommodate a contemporary mix of economic activities.
The Planning Commission recommended that the policies and action measures for Goal 9.2 be
more detailed and expanded upon. Policy 3 and Action Measures i through vi were added in
response.
3. The City shall engage with state and regional economical development
organizations and agencies to sustain and expand its current economic activities
and be prepared for future economic trends.
i. Develop a strategy to increase the number of higher- payitig knowledge based and
traded sector jobs that pay higher than national average wages. 1
ii. Investigate ways to support local innovative businesses and economic activities,
as evidenced by the relatively high number of patents granted to individuals
and small business in Tigard.
iii. Investigate the potential for a business incubator or innovation center that
fosters the start-up of new innovative businesses and connects regional
economic partners, businesses, higher education and venture capitalists.
iv. Improve connections with major universities to promote research connections,
and access to innovative business practices.
v. Promote Downtown Tigard as a place for innovative and emerging business to
expand or relocate.
vi. Encourage programs that promote sustainable business practices (e.g..
recycling, green building or other sustainable design features, the use of green or
alternative energy, commute trip reduction programs).
Goal 9.3
The Planning Commission suggested that Policy 1 also make reference to the Tigard Triangle. The
policy was updated.
1. The City shall focus a significant portion of future employment growth and high-density
housing development in its Metro-designated Town Center (Downtown); Regional Center
(Washington Square); and High Capacity Transit Corridor (Hwy 99W); and the Tigard
Triangle.
Action Measure v was revised in response to the Planning Commission's suggestion.
STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 4 OF 18
v. Investigate ways to improve the appearance and function of Hwy 99W and other
transportation corridors.
The Planning Commission felt that the City should not be involved in creating a wireless internet
system, but should monitor emerging technologies to assure competitively priced access. Action
Measure xv was modified to reflect this.
xv. Monitor emerging wireless and high-speed internet technologies to ensure
competitively priced access for Tigard residents and businesses.
Action Measure xvi was added to reinforce the desire to balance economic development activities
with other community goals.
xvi. Recognize and promote community events as having potential for positive
economic impacts and as important for community identity.
Housing
Goal 10.2
The Planning Commission recommended that any future community design standards be applied
to multi-family housing development, rather than all housing. Policy 6 has been changed to reflect
this.
6. The City shall promote innovative and well-designed housing development through
application of planned developments and community design standards for multifamilv
housing.
The Planning Commission recommended that infill development be designed to address, rather
than exhibit compatibility with existing neighborhoods. Policy 9 has been changed to reflect this.
9. The City shall require infill development to be designed to address eft compatibility
with existing neighborhoods.
The Planning Commission suggested changing the language of Policy 10 to make it clear it was
addressing home based businesses. This has been changed.
10. The City shall regulate home-based businesses (occupations) to prevent adverse
impacts on residential areas.
Proposal Description
The primary intent of the proposed changes is to ensure the Comprehensive Plan remains a
viable tool for decision-makers. By updating the Comprehensive Plan, the City will ensure it is in
compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, plans, and programs. As importantly, the
STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00006 917A11:WIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 5 OF 18
update will also ensure the Comprehensive Plan reflects current community conditions and
values.
This amendment is the first in a series of amendments that will update the Comprehensive Plan
in its entirety. This amendment will update Statewide Planning Goals 9 and 10 with goals,
policies, and recommended action measures that will serve as the "legislative foundation" in
regards to economic development and housing. Land use actions and amendments to the Tigard
Development Code will be based on the new language included in this amendment.
Below is an explanation of the terms that create the "legislative foundation":
Goal
Definition - A general statement indicating a desired end or the direction the City will follow to
achieve that end.
Obligation - The City cannot take action which violates a goal statement unless:
1. Action is being taken which clearly supports another goal.
2. There are findings indicating the goal being supported takes precedence (in the particular case)
over another.
Policy
Definition - A statement identifying Tigard's position and a definitive course of action. Policies are
more specific than goals. They often identify the City's position in regard to implementing goals.
However, they are not the only actions the City can take to accomplish goals.
Obligation - The City must follow relevant policy statements when amending the Comprehensive
Plan, or developing other plans or ordinances which affect land use. To amend the Comprehensive
Plan, the City must show consistency with the Statewide Land Use Goals. Such an amendment
must take place following prescribed procedures prior to taking an action that would otherwise
violate a Plan policy.
Recommended Action Measures
Definition - A statement which outlines a specific City project or standard, which if executed,
would implement goals and policies. Recommended action measures also refer to specific projects,
standards, or courses of action the City desires other jurisdictions to take in regard to specific
issues. These statements also define the relationship the City desires to have with other jurisdictions
and agencies in implementing Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.
Obligation - Completion of projects, adoption of standards, or the creation of certain relationships
or agreements with other jurisdictions and agencies, will depend on a number of factors such as
citizen priorities, finances, staff availability, etc.
The City should periodically review and prioritize recommended action measures based on current
circumstances, community needs and the City's goal and policy obligations. These statements are
suggestions to future City decision- makers as ways to implement the goals and policies. The listing
of recommended action measures in the plan does not obligate the City to accomplish them.
Neither do recommended action measures impose obligations on applicants who request
amendments or changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The list of recommended action measures is
not exclusive. It may be added to or amended as conditions warrant.

FindinVs: Proposed Goal 9.1 and its associated policies direct the City to maintain and improve
transportation facilities to assure a strong economy. Proposed Goals 10.1 and 10.2 and their
associated policies would support this policy by encouraging housing that is adjacent to transit
and other services. This would enhance the likelihood of using transportation modes other than
driving an automobile.
Topic 11: Downtown Tigard Urban Renewal District
11.1. Facilitate the Development of an Urban Village
Findings- The proposed amendment will support the development of areas where employment,
housing, and commercial areas are in close proximity to each other, including the Downtown
Urban Renewal District. Proposed Goals 9.3 and 10.1 will help facilitate the development of a
vibrant and economically sound city core in the Downtown.
STAFF REPORT'ro THE PI..ANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 11 OF 18
CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment satisfies
the applicable policies contained in the City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan.
APPLICABLE METRO REGULATIONS:
Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 1: Requirements for Housing and
Employment Accommodation - Use land within the UGB efficiently by increasing its
capacity to accommodate housing and employment. Each city and county in the region
should consider actions to increase its capacity and to take action if necessary to
accommodate its share of regional growth as specified in this title.
Findin,S: The proposed amendment addresses the efficient use of land in several ways. Specifically,
Goal 9.1, Policy 5 supports the efficient use and redevelopment of vacant and underutilized
commercial and industrial lands. Policies associated with Goal 9.1 and Goal 10.1 call for increasing
opportunities for higher density housing and employment development in its Regional and Town
Centers, Corridors, and the Tigard Triangle which will increase Tigard's housing and employment
capacity.
Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 4 Industrial and Other
Employment Areas- Provide and protect a supply of sites for employment by limiting
the types and scale of non-industrial uses in Regionally Significant Industrial Areas
(RSIAs), Industrial and Employment Areas; provide the benefits of "clustering" to those
industries that operate more productively and efficiently in proximity to one another than in
dispersed locations; protect the capacity and efficiency of the region's transportation
system for the movement of goods and services and to encourage the location of other
types of employment in Centers, Employment Areas, Corridors, Main Streets and Station
Communities.
Findings: Proposed Policy 6, under Goal 9.1, specifically addresses Title 4 requirements by
directing the City to promote actions that result in greater, more efficient, utilization of its Metro-
designated Employment and Industrial Areas to gain higher numbers of employees per acre.
Economic clustering, and protecting the capacity and efficiency of the region's transportation
system are also addressed in Goal 9.1 and its associated policies. Proposed Goal 9.3, Policy 1 aims
to encourage employment opportunities in Centers. These Goals and Policies recognize the
importance of regional coordination of economic activities.
Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 6: Central City, Regional Centers,
Town Centers, and Station Communities- Enhance Centers by encouraging development
in these Centers that will improve the critical roles they play in the region and by
discouraging development outside Centers that will detract from those roles.
Findings: Proposed Goals 9.3 and 10.1 and their associated policies (see Exhibit A) acknowledges
the critical role that Tigard's Regional and Town Centers in assuring opportunities for higher
housing and employment densities.

Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 7: Housing Choice- Establish
voluntary affordable housing production goals to be adopted by local governments and
assistance from local governments on reports on progress towards increasing the supply of
affordable housing.
Findingsi Proposed Goal 10.1 (see Exhibit A) addresses the provision of opportunities for a variety
of housing types. The associated policies and action measures contain strategies to support and
enhance opportunities for affordable housing, including subsidizing City fees for affordable
housing.
CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment satisfies
the applicable Metro regulations.
THE STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS AND GUIDELINES ADOPTED UNDER
OREGON REVISED STATUTES CHAPTER 197
Statewide Planning Goal 1- Citizen Involvement.
This goal outlines the citizen involvement requirement for adoption of Comprehensive
Plans and changes to the Comprehensive Plan and implementing documents.
Findings: This goal was met through an extensive public involvement process. A Public
Involvement Program for the Comprehensive Plan Update was developed in March 2006. This
Program was reviewed and endorsed by the Committee for Citizen Involvement and the Planning
Commission. The Program outlined the information, outreach methods, and involvement
opportunities available to the citizens during the process.
Information was distributed throughout the process via the project website, an interested parties
listserv, Cityscape articles, press releases, articles in the local paper, and two project open houses.
Outreach methods also included presentations to a number of civic organizations in the
community, personal emails sent to groups and organizations, updates to City boards and
commissions, a presentation to the Tigard Area Chamber of Commerce, and staff attendance at
community events to pass out information.
Involvement opportunities included two open houses, participation on a policy interest team,
submitting written comments via the website, and attending the Planning Commission workshop.
Additionally, the interested parties listserv and volunteers who signed up for the policy interest
teams were provided notice of all meetings held regarding the Comprehensive Plan Update.
As part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, public notice of this Planning
Commission public hearing was sent to the interested parties list and published in the October 25,
2007 issue of The Times (in accordance with Tigard Development Code Chapter 18.390). Notice
will be published again prior to the City Council public hearing. The notice invited public input and
included the phone number of a contact person to answer questions. The notice also included the
address of the City's webpage where the entire draft of the text changes could be viewed.
Statewide Planning Goal 2 - Land Use Planning:
This goal outlines the land use planning process and policy framework. The
Comprehensive Plan was acknowledged by DLCD as being consistent with the statewide
planning goals.
STAFF REPORT TO TI-IE PLANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE: 13 OF 18
Findings- The proposed amendment to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan is being processed as a
Type N procedure, which requires any applicable statewide planning goals, federal or state
statutes or regulations, Metro regulations, comprehensive plan policies, and City's implementing
ordinances, be addressed as part of the decision-making process. Notice was provided to DLCD
45 days prior to the first scheduled public hearing as required. All applicable review criteria have
been addressed within this staff report; therefore, the requirements of Goal 2 have been met.
Statewide Planning Goal 9. Economic Development
To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic
activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens.
~ The proposed amendment is consistent with Goal 9, as the changes direct the City to
Findings
provide opportunities for a variety of economic activities that will benefit Tigard residents and
businesses, and the regional economy. This policy direction expands and enhances Tigard's current
economic related policies.
Proposed Goal 9.1 and its associated policies (see Exhibit A), provide clear direction for the City to
develop and maintain a diversified and sustainable local economy which will benefit residents and
businesses. Proposed Goal 9.2 and its associated policies, seeks to make Tigard a center and
incubator for innovative businesses and other industries that can adapt to and anticipate future
trends. Proposed Goal 9.3 and its associated policies aim to improve Tigard's quality of life factors
that can attract economic investments and a skilled workforce. All of these goals and policies have
the ability to diversify Tigard's economy by building on its strengths and accommodating future
economic trends.
Current Comprehensive Plan Policies relating to Statewide Planning Goal 9 will be deleted and
replaced in their entirety by proposed amendment Goals 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3 and their associated
Policies. This update will ensure the City is in compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations,
plans, and programs. This update will also ensure continued compliance with Statewide Planning
Goal 9 as the new goals and policies reflect current community conditions and values. The new
goals and policies have been developed through an intensive citizen involvement effort, reviewed
by City staff, reviewed by affected agencies, and reviewed by the Planning Commission at the
October 15, 2007 workshop.
The Department of Land Conservation and Development, who administers the Statewide
Planning Program, was given the opportunity to review the proposed changes. Their comments
can be found in Exhibit B.
Statewide Planning Goal10: Housing
To provide adequate housing for the needs of the community, region and state.
Findings:
The proposed amendment is consistent with Goal 10 by directing the City to maintain policies that
provide adequate housing for the needs of the community. The proposed goals and policies build
on housing policies already in place in the community.
Proposed Goal 10.1 and its associated policies directs the City to provide opportunities for a
variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of current and
STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 9 and 10. PAGE 14 OF 18
future residents. The housing requirements of the elderly and those with special needs would be
recognized. Proposed Goal 10.2 calls for the City to maintain a high level of residential livability.
The associated policies set out a variety of ways to achieve this.
Current Comprehensive Plan Policies relating to Statewide Planning Goal 10 will be deleted and
replaced in their entirety by proposed amendment Goals 10.1, and 10.2 and their associated
Policies (see Exhibit A). This update will ensure the City is in compliance with applicable laws,
rules, regulations, plans, and programs. This update will also ensure continued compliance with
Statewide Planning Goal 10 as the new goals and policies reflect current community conditions
and values. The new goals and policies have been developed through a citizen involvement effort,
reviewed by City staff, reviewed by affected agencies, including DLCD, and reviewed by the
Planning Commission at the October 15, 2007 workshop.
Statewide Planning Goal 12: Transportation
To provide a safe, convenient and economic transportation system.
Findings: The proposed Amendment is consistent with this goal as it provides policy direction to
diversify the City's transportation system by promoting land use policies and sustainable
development patterns that will encourage the use of alternative forms of transportation (biking,
walking, public transit). These proposed Policies would improve the safety, efficiency and
economy of the transportation system in the City and expand access to transportation options
that could improve air quality and conserve energy.
Statewide Planning Goal 13: Energy Conservation
Land and uses developed on the land shall be managed and controlled so as to maximize
the conservation of all forms of energy, based on sound economic principles.
Findin,s. The proposed Amendment is consistent with Goal 13. It provides policy direction that
would result in increased opportunities to live, shop, recreate, and work in environments with
multi-modal transportation access. This would make alternate forms of transportation more
feasible and allow residents to conserve energy by reducing their dependence on automobiles.
CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the proposed amendment is
consistent with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals.
SECTION VI. ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF COMMENTS
The City of Tigard's Police Department has had an opportunity to review this proposal and
had no objection it.
SECTION VII. OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS
The following agencies /jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not
respond:

Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1 Development Review
Washington County, Department of Land Use and Transportation
TriMet Transit Development
The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (see Exhibit B) had an
opportunity to review this proposal and offered the following comments:
In the Key Findings for Housing, the City states that "A large portion of the 2005 BLI is
zoned low density (54% is R- 3.5 or R-4.5) or medium density (26% is R-7). No land zoned
R-40 remains on the inventory." Given that, "since 1994 the overall density of residential
construction citywide has been 6.8 dwelling units per acre." The City is required to develop
at an average of 10 dwelling units per acre.
The City also notes that, "It is expected as remaining single-family residential land is
developed that more attached units will be constructed through redevelopment and infill."
And, "Areas such as Washington Square, Downtown Tigard, and the Tigard Triangle allow
for higher density residential projects, but few high-density attached units have been built
due to market conditions." These findings are insufficient to ensure that the City will
achieve 10 dwelling units per acre." Let's discuss with our urban specialist some ways that
may assist to getting the density required.
Findings: The City complies with the Metropolitan Housing Rule (OAR 660, Division 7). The
Housing Rule requires Portland Metropolitan Area cities to provide the opportunity for overall
housing densities at a minimum of 10 units per acre and provide the opbortuni1y for at least 50
percent of new residential units to be attached single family housing or multiple family housing.
While much of the remaining residential buildable land is lower density, there is also a significant
amount of land with mixed use zoning which permits higher density housing. The Buildable Lands
Inventory also does not capture the potential for significant redevelopment of Tigard's Town
Center- the Downtown Urban Renewal District. The City's adopted Comprehensive Chapter
relating to the Urban Renewal District calls for the development of a vibrant urban village which
includes a mix of uses including medium and high-density housing. It is anticipated that there will
be significant higher density housing in the Downtown which will achieve the higher Citywide
average density.
In the Recommended Action Measures for Goal 10.1, xii the City recommends an action to
"Increase Tigard's diversity of housing types through inclusionary zoning." The
Department notes that inclusionary zoning is prohibited by ORS 197.309, unless voluntary.
STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
CPA 2007-00006 STATEWIDE PLANNING GOA].S 9 and 10. PAGE 16 OF 18
Fin&g,s- Recommended Action Measure xii, under Goal 10.1, has been edited to include voluntary
inclusionary zoning as suggested by DLCD.
xii. Increase Tigard's diversity of housing types through financial incentives and regulatory
tools such as density transfer and planned development standards; transit, and vertical
oriented housing tax credits; voluntary inclusionary zoning, etc.
The Department recommends adding the following Recommended Action Measure to
Goal 10.2: The City shall adopt clear and objective approval standards, criteria, conditions,
and review process for needed housing per ORS 197.
Findin&s: Recommended Action Measure xv has been added to address the need for clear and
objective standards for needed housing.
xv. Adopt clear and objective approval standards, criteria, conditions, and review
processes for needed housing per state requirements.
Clean Water Services (see Exhibit C) had an opportunity to review this proposal and offered the
following comments:
We recommend following any and all relevant provisions of the current Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) between the City of Tigard and Clean Water Services and the relevant
provisions of the current Design and Construction Standards (currently R&O 07-20) for all
issues relating to development, vegetated corridors, erosion control, and preservation of
wetlands, natural drainage ways and enhancement thereof.
Findings:
References to the Design and Construction Standards are more appropriate in the Community
Development Code and have been adopted into the Code. Therefore, staff recommends no
changes to the policy language at this time.
CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, staff finds that the comments and subsequent
edits to the proposed amendment are in the best interest of the City and recommends inclusion
of the changes in the language of this proposal.
SECTION VIII. CONCLUSION
The proposed changes comply with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals, Metro regulations,
the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, and applicable provisions of the City's implementing ordinances.
Therefore, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Tigard City Council as determined through the public
hearing process.

5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (CPA) 2007-00006 Tigard
Comprehensive Plan Update of Statewide Planning Goal 9: Economic
Development and Goal 10: Housing
REQUEST: Amendments to the current Comprehensive Plan Topic 5: Economy
and Topic 6: Housing by updating the goals, policies and recommended action
measures to reflect current community conditions and values. The complete text of the
proposed Amendment can be viewed on the City's website at http://www.tigard-
or.gov/code- amendments. LOCATION: Citywide. ZONE: All City zones.
APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Chapters
18.380 and 18.390, Comprehensive Plan Policies 1, 2, 5 and 6; Metro Functional Plan
Title 1, 4, 6, 7 and 12; and Statewide Planning Goals 1, 2, 9 and 10.
STAFF REPORT
Associate Planner, Sean Farrelly, presented the staff report on behalf of the City. He noted
that Staff has found the language included in the amendment (as detailed in Exhibit A) complies
with the applicable state land use goals, the City's Municipal Code and Comprehensive Plan policies,
as well as federal, state, and regional plans and regulations.
i
The proposed amendment was developed through a review process with several hours of
community input at Policy Interest Team meetings. The citizens used the technical information
included in the Tigard 2007 Resource Report and the issues and values gathered from past surveys
and visioning work to develop draft goals, policies, and recommended action measures to forward to
the Commission. Planning Commissioners reviewed this draft language at an October 15`'' workshop j
and suggested several revisions. These changes (found at the beginning of the staff report) included:
Economic Development
Goal 9.1
Policy 11 was upgraded from an Action Measure to stress the importance of economic clusters.
Policy 12 was added to address the principle that economic development should be balanced with
other community concerns.
Action Measure i was revised to address the potential need for an Economic Development Director
position for the City.
Action Measure xii was added in response to a request for more integration between residential,
retail, and commercial uses.
Action Measure xiii was added for additional emphasis on supporting existing businesses that have
the potential to develop into clusters.
Action Measure xiv was added as a result of the Planning Commission's suggestion for developing a
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -November 19, 2007 - Page 2
' i
branding and marketing effort for Tigard.
Goal 9.2
The Planning Commission recommended that the policies and action measures for this goal be
expanded upon. Policy 3 and Action Measures i through vi were added in response.
Goal 9.3
Policy 1 added a reference to the Tigard Triangle as a place for higher density employment and
residential growth.
i
i
;
Action Measure v was revised to include other transportation corridors besides Highway 99. ff!
i
Action Measure xv was modified to reflect the Planning Commission's feeling that the City should
not be involved in creating a wireless internet system, but should monitor emerging technologies to
assure competitively priced access.
Staff added Action Measure xvi to reinforce the desire to balance economic development activities
with other community goals.
Housing
Goal 10.2
Policy 6 was changed in response to the recommendation that any future community design
standards be applied to multi-family housing development, rather than all housing.
Policy 9 was revised to state that infill development should be designed to address compatibility,
rather than exhibit compatibility, with existing neighborhoods.
Policy 10 was changed to make it clear it was referring to home based businesses rather than home
based occupations.
A couple of definitions were added in response to Commissioners suggestions (although these will
be adopted in a separate definitions chapter at a later date.)
A number of agencies/jurisdictions were given the chance to comment on the amendment. Only
DLCD and Clean Water Services responded, and their comments and staffs reply are found at the
end of the staff report. In response to DLCD's comments, Action Measure xii, under Goal 10.1 was
changed to state that inclusionary zoning should be voluntary and under Goal 10.2, Action Measure
xv, was added to conform with state law on clear and objective standards for the development
review process.
The updated goals, policies, and recommended action measures will provide Tigard a more solid
foundation on which to prepare ordinances, associated plans, development standards, programs, and
j intergovernmental agreements. Specifically it will provide the tools needed to build on and improve
Tigard's economic health and livability.
I
Staff's recommendation is to approve the language found in Exhibit A and forward it to the City
Council for their review.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES - November 19, 2007 - Page 3
At this point, President Inman asked the commissioners if they had any questions or
comments - some of which follow:
• "Where are the definitions in our packet?" Towards the end - Exhibit D
• "What are `other transportation corridors' in Tigard - where are they?" Typically they're
high capacity roads and would begood places to potentially put higher density housing, more
employment, more retail, because on these roads typically there is transit (buses) on them. '
"On Housing 10.2.vi - regarding policy 6 which denotes "multi-family housing" -
j why did we delineate `multi-family' housing?" Other than single family housing? I don't believe j
many communities typically have design standards for single family housing - that's usually exempted.
• Commissioner Walsh commented that he believes, for consistency and clarity, that I
the language of Goal 9.1.xi should be changed from "economic clusters" to "industry
clusters."
i
PUBLIC TESTIMONY
President Inman opened up the meeting to public testimony and reminded those present
that there is a 3-minute time allotment and asked that people be as concise as possible.
John Frewing, 7110 Lola Lane, Tigard 97223, had signed in as speaking both in favor of, and
in opposition to, the amendment: He noted that in the prior package there were citations
from the "Tigard for Tomorrow" values surveys that had been done over the years. He
commented that the staff report said that this material was developed from that but in those
lists of values there is nothing that referred to economic development. He commented that
he believes the wording in some of the material is "overly enthusiastic" and in fact seems to
trump the wording of other goals, policies, and action measures in the Comp Plan. He
believes there should be roughly comparable wording across all the sections of the Comp
Plan. For example, regarding Goal 9.1.iii he read verbatim, `The City's land use and other
regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic
development opportunities.' He said he would like that to be more even handed in its
wording. EE
k
At this point, Mr. Frewing noticed his 3-minute time limit was up, so he said he would then I
speak in opposition to this particular item: f
f
He said he would add "consistent with protection of natural resources and contemporary
development of adequate infrastructure." Therefore, he believes Goal 9.1.iii should read:
f
"'1 he City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible so as to allow
contemporary achievement of all Tigard goals when new business is sited in the City."
He also commented that Policy S says "the City shall promote well designed and efficient
development and redevelopment of vacant and underutilized etc..." the word "shall" - is
that a budgetary commitment? As for "efficient development" - Mr. Frewing said he always
asks the question "Efficient for whom?" There should not be code words. He believes the I
phrase `efficient development' should be clarified.

[Commissioner Muldoon joined the meeting at 7:26pm.]
Frewing commented that under Goal 10.1.i - the Recommended Action Measure i calls for
regular update of Tigard's Buildable Land Inventory. He commented that the BLI definition
should be modified to include all the lots in the City that might be subdivided for additional
housing density.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Regarding regulatory practices, Ron Bunch proposed alternative language: He suggested the
language read "The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive
so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities with assurance of
planned or existing infrastructure."
In summary, President Inman said Commissioner Walsh had indicated a change to Goal 9.1.xi
for clarity and consistency for economic to industry clusters. In addition - Ron Bunch had
proposed the above language change regarding regulatory practices.
i
The following motion by Commissioner Walsh was seconded by Commissioner Caffall: "I
move for recommendation of approval to the City Council for application of CPA2007-00006
Tigard Comprehensive Plan update, Statewide Planning Goal 9, Economic Development, and
Goal 10, Housing - and adoption of the changes cited in Goal 9.1.iii and Goal 9.1.xi, as
suggested, and the findings of the staff report and testimony received."

6. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE WORKSHOP - CITIZEN t
INVOLVEMENT
I
Assistant Planner, Marissa Daniels, spoke to the Commission about the Citizen Involvement
Chapter, which is based on, among other things, the key findings of the draft chapter. She said f
the Citizen Involvement chapter is different from others in that citizen involvement is not I
included in the Tigard 2007 Resource document. She reported that Goal 1 was not addressed
in that document and instead, the resource information and key findings were contained in the
draft chapter. The Citizen Involvement Chapter is also based on the community issues and
values, which were identified by citywide surveys and in the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow
visioning process. It is also based on the current Comprehensive Plan policies, as well as on the
work of the Policy Interest Team and Department Review Team. Daniels pointed out that the
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES-November 19,2007 - Page 5
policy language presented in the draft Citizen Involvement Chapter is a direct result of the
language written at Policy Interest Team meetings.
There was a question as to how the City recruits people. Daniels replied that it is up to whoever
the staff liaison is for whichever committee is in need of people. She noted that, for example,
the Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) recently added 5 new at-large membership slots.
She noted that Duane Roberts (Staff) has been very actively recruiting people and that there
definitely is an outreach program in place to get people involved. She also noted that
Commissioner Rex Caffall participated as a member of the Policy Interest Team for Citizen
Involvement.
i
The question was asked regarding the meaning of Goal 1.1.iv, which states "The City shall
provide staff and financial support to the Committee for Citizen Involvement and any other
appropriate board or committee." Daniels replied that the word "appropriate" should instead
read "appointed." The correction was noted by the commissioners.
At this point, President Inman asked if there was anyone else present who would like to speak.
Daniels introduced Basil Christopher, chair of the CCI. Christopher gave a brief overview of
the work of the CCI. He spoke about the Neighborhood Planning Program.
7. OTHER BUSINESS
There was no other business.

MEMORANDUM
TIGARD
TO: Mayor Craig Dirksen and Members of City Council
FROM: Sean Farrelly, Associate Planner
RE: Council Workshop - CPA 2007-00006
DATE: December 7, 2007
At the January 15`h City Council meeting, staff will present the proposed goals, policies, and
recommended action measures (see the end of this memo for definitions and obligations) for the
Economic Development and Housing chapters for the updated Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed language was approved and recommended by the Planning Commission at the November
19`h public hearing. Staff will discuss the proposed language, answer questions, and provide any
requested information that will help assist Council in making its decision at the February 5`h public
hearing.
Staff has worked closely with the Policy Interest Teams and citizen stakeholders on developing suitable
language for the Comprehensive Plan update. With the Policy Interest Team's approval, staff added to
and expanded upon the language to be consistent with Statewide Planning Goals. Whether or not to
amend citizen recommendations is the role of the Planning Commission to recommend and the City
Council to decide upon.
At the workshop and public hearing the Planning Commission suggested additional language and
revisions for the updated chapters. These requested changes are found below, with additions indicated
by underline and bold and deletions indicated by through.
st6ke Economic Development
Goal 9.1
In response to a citizen's concern stated at the public hearing, Policy 3 was edited.
Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006
Memo to Council 1 December 7, 2007
3. The City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to
preclude desirable economic development opportunities with assurance of planned or
existing infrastructure.
The Planning Commission requested that the recommended action measure on industry clusters be
moved up to a policy. Policy 11 reflects this.
11. The City shall develop industry clusters by encouraging the retention, expansion
and recruitment of industries that already have a presence in Tigard.
The Planning Commission requested recommended that a policy be added to indicate the need for
economic development to be balanced with other community concerns. Policy 12 was created to
reflect this.
12. The City shall assure economic development promotes other community dualities,
such as livability and environmental quality that are necessary for a sustainable
economic future.
The Planning Commission suggested that an action measure address the potential need for an
Economic Development Director position for the City. Action Measure i was revised to reflect this.
i. Develop a formal City of Tigard economic development program and strategy to implement
the community's economic development goals and policies and consider the creation of an
economic development director position to develop and implement the program.
The Planning Commission asked for more integration between residential, retail, and commercial
uses. Action Measure xii was added.
xii. Increase opportunities for higher density housing and employment development in
the Downtown Urban Renewal District, Washington Square Regional Center, Tigard
Triangle, and designated Corridors to enable more intense housing and employment
uses to be located in close proximity to transit and other urban uses.
The Planning Commission asked for additional emphasis to be placed on supporting existing
businesses that have the potential to develop into clusters. Action Measure xiii was added to address
this.
xiii. Prioritize support for businesses identified as being able to develop into regional
industry clusters.
Action Measure xiv was added in response to the Planning Commission request for developing a
Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006
Memo to Council 2 December 7, 2007
branding and marketing effort for Tigard.
xiv. Improve media contacts and develop a branding / marketing effort to promote
Tigard as a place to live and do business.
Goal 9.2
The Planning Commission recommended that the language of Policy 1 be clarified.
1. The City shall institute prevle appropriately land use
regulations to accommodate a contemporary mix of economic activities.
The Planning Commission recommended that the policies and action measures for Goal 9.2 be
extensively expanded upon. Policy 3 and Action Measures i through vi were added in response.
3. The City shall engage with state and regional economical development
organizations and agencies to sustain and expand its current economic activities
and be prepared for future economic trends.
i. Develop a strategy to increase the number of knowledge based and
traded sector jobs that pay higher than national average wages. _d.
ii. Investigate ways to support local innovative businesses and economic activities,
as evidenced by the relatively high number of patents granted to individuals and
small business in Tigard.
iii. Investigate the potential for a business incubator or innovation center that fosters
the start-up of new innovative businesses and connects regional economic
partners, businesses, higher education and venture capitalists.
iv. Improve connections with major universities to promote research connections,
and access to innovative business practices.
v. Promote Downtown Tigard as a place for innovative and emerging business to
expand or relocate.
vi. Encourage programs that promote sustainable business practices (e.g., recycling,
green building or other sustainable design features, the use of green or alternative
energy, commute trip reduction programs).
Goal 9.3
The Planning Commission suggested that Policy 1 also make reference to the Tigard Triangle. The
policy was updated.
1. The City shall focus a significant portion of future employment growth and high-density
housing development in its Metro-designated Town Center (Downtown); Regional Center
Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006
Memo to Council 3 December 7, 2007
(Washington Square); and High Capacity Transit Corridor (Hwy 99W); and the Tigard
Triangle.
Action Measure v was revised in response to the Planning Commission's suggestion.
v. Investigate ways to improve the appearance and function of Hwy 99W and other
transportation corridors.
The Planning Commission felt that the City should not be involved in creating a wireless internet
system, but should monitor emerging technologies to assure competitively priced access. Action
Measure xv was modified to reflect this.
xv. Monitor emerging wireless and high-speed internet technologies to ensure
competitively priced access for Tigard residents and businesses.
Action Measure xvi was added to reinforce the desire to balance economic development activities
with other community goals.
xvi. Recognize and promote community events as having potential for positive
economic impacts and as important for community identity.
Housing
Goal 10.2
The Planning Commission recommended that any future community design standards be applied
to multi-family housing development, rather than all housing. Policy 6 has been changed to reflect
this.
6. The City shall promote innovative and well-designed housing development through
application of planned developments and community design standards for multi-family
housing.
The Planning Commission recommended that infill development be designed to address, rather
than exhibit compatibility with existing neighborhoods. Policy 9 has been changed to reflect this.
9. The City shall require infill development to be designed to address eft compatibility
with existing neighborhoods.
The Planning Commission suggested changing the language of Policy 10 to make it clear it was
addressing home-based businesses. This has been changed.
10. The City shall regulate home-based businesses (occupations) to prevent adverse
Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006
Memo to Council 4 December 7, 2007
impacts on residential areas.
The Department of Land Conservation and Development reviewed the proposed Comprehensive
Plan language and recommended two changes to conform to state law. Under Goal 10.1
Recommended Action Measure xii, has been edited to include voluntary inclusionary zoning as
suggested by DLCD.
xii. Increase Tigard's diversity of housing types through financial incentives and regulatory
tools such as density transfer and planned development standards; transit, and vertical
oriented housing tax credits; voluntary inclusionary zoning, etc.
Under Goal 10.2 Recommended Action Measure xv has been added to address the need for clear
and objective standards for needed housing.
xv. Adopt clear and objective approval standards, criteria, conditions, and review
processes for needed housing per state requirements.
By adopting the language in the amendment, the City will take a step towards articulating the
community's aspirations for economic development and housing. The economic development goals
and policies will provide the basis to diversify Tigard's economy by building on its strengths and
accommodating future economic trends. The housing goals will provide the basis to maintain a high
level of residential livability and provide opportunities for a variety of housing types that meet the
needs, preferences, and financial capabilities of current and future residents.
Definitions and Obligations of Goals, Policies, and Recommended Action Measures
Tigard Comprehensive Plan
Comprehensive plan goals, policies, and recommended action measures have different definitions
and impart different obligations to decision makers. They also relate differently to one another. The
following describes goals, policies, and recommended action measures in greater detail.
Goals, policies and recommended action measures identify the intent of the City to accomplish
certain results. The goals and policies relate to one another and are obligations the City wishes to
assume. Recommended action measures support the obligations to achieve a desired end, but do not
signify an obligation themselves.
Goal: Definition - A general statement indicating a desired end or the direction the City will follow
to achieve that end.
Attachment 2 CPA2007-00006
Memo to Council 5 December 7, 2007
Obligation - The City cannot take action which violates a goal statement unless:
1. Action is being taken which clearly supports another goal.
2. There are findings indicating the goal being supported takes precedence (in the particular case)
over another.
Policy: Definition - A statement identifying Tigard's position and a definitive course of action.
Policies are more specific than goals. They often identify the City's position in regard to
implementing goals. However, they are not the only actions the City can take to accomplish goals.
Obligation - The City must follow relevant policy statements when amending the Comprehensive
Plan, or developing other plans or ordinances which affect land use. To amend the Comprehensive
Plan, the City must show consistency with the Statewide Land Use Goals. Such an amendment must
take place following prescribed procedures prior to taking an action that would otherwise violate a
Plan policy.
Recommended Action Measures: Definition - A statement which outlines a specific City project
or standard which, if executed, would implement goals and policies. Recommended action measures
also refer to specific projects, standards, or courses of action the City desires other jurisdictions to
take in regard to specific issues. These statements also define the relationship the City desires to
have with other jurisdictions and agencies in implementing Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.
Obligation - Completion of projects, adoption of standards, or the creation of certain relationships
or agreements with other jurisdictions and agencies, will depend on a number of factors such as
citizen priorities, finances, staff availability, etc.
The City should periodically review and prioritize recommended action measures based on current
circumstances, community needs, and the City's goal and policy obligations. These statements are
suggestions to future City decision-makers as ways to implement the goals and policies. The listing
of recommended action measures in the plan does not obligate the City to accomplish them. Neither
do recommended action measures impose obligations on applicants who request amendments or
changes to the Comprehensive Plan. The list of recommended action measures is not exclusive. It
may be added to, or amended, as conditions warrant.

TO: Mayor and City Councilors
Craig Prosser, City Manager
FROM: Gus Duenas~
City Engineer
RE: Washington County TIF/SDC Measure
MSTIP 4 Measure
DATE: January 29, 2008
The Washington County Coordinating Committee (composed of elected officials from
Washington County and its cities) has proposed two ballot measures to be submitted to the
voters. The measures and the target election dates are:
■ Update of the existing TIF (Traffic Impact Fee) - May 2008
■ MSTIP 4 (new Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program measure) -
November 2008
TIF Update
The existing TIF captures approximately 20% of the cost of new development. The TIF
update is intended to double the amount of TIF revenues currently collected. The proposed
measure would increase the annual revenue from its current $15-$17 million to $30-$35
million.
The methods for updating the TIF have been narrowed to two primary options:
■ Minor change - Keep the same TIF and add a new SDC (System Development
Charge) to it
■ Moderate change - Replace the existing TIF with a new Countywide SDC (to be
submitted to the voters and passed as a tax)
The updating of the TIF is extremely complicated and involves a variety of major issues that
need to be resolved. The current TIF was passed before the SDC law came into effect.
Although the existing TIF does basically comply with the SDC law, there are differences
between the two. A complicating factor in the development of the preferred option is Senate
Bill 1036 (Attachment 1). This bill (signed into law July 2007) prohibits local governments
from passing construction excise taxes. County counsel managed to have language inserted
into the final version to exempt amendments or increases to a tax adopted by a county. (the
current County TIF) before May 1, 2007. This allows amendment or increase to the existing
TIF, but does not allow for a new version of the TIF to be added as a tax on top of the
existing TIF.
With these constraints in mind, the following is a brief summary of the two options:
■ The "minor" change proposes to continue the existing TIF with an SDC added to it
to double the total annual revenue. The SDC nature of the addition would require
that each city execute an IGA with Washington County to comply with the SDC and
ensure uniformity.
■ The "moderate" change proposes to amend (to comply with SB 1036 and qualify for
the exemption) the existing TIF using SDC methodology and in effect implement a
new Countywide SDC, but passed as a tax. This would allow uniform Countywide
application without need to execute IGAs with individual jurisdictions.
The County staff is trying to work out these issues with the intent of adopting the ballot title
by March 18, 2008. To be on the ballot for the May 20, 2008 election, the ballot title must be
submitted by March 20, 2008.
The proposed TIF update was discussed at the Washington County TAC (Transportation
Advisory Committee) meeting on January 24, 2008.. Another meeting is scheduled for
February 7, 2008 to further discuss the proposed measure and prepare for the next
Coordinating Committee meeting scheduled for February 11, 2008.
MSTIP 4 Update
The initial project priority ratings for the proposed MSTIP 4 ranked the projects based on
criteria proposed by Washington County staff. These criteria were based on achieving the
primary MSTIP purpose of addressing traffic safety and congestion problems, as well as
transportation and growth objectives identified in county and city transportation plans. The
Tigard projects were ranked relatively low based on these criteria.
Following comments from various cities, including a letter from me, the County staff revised
the project list to provide better distribution of projects Countywide. Attached is a
memorandum dated January 22, 2008 from Blair Crumpacker, Senior Planner, summarizing
in detail the revisions to the original project rankings (Attachment 2).
The revisions are briefly summarized as follows:
■ Established a project list at 120% of the targeted revenue (Attachment 3) to further
reduce the 200% list
■ Balanced the list of projects to allow for better distribution Countywide (Attachment
4)
➢ Allocated funding for system enhancement.projects, bridges and major studies
($32.35 million)
Memorandum Regarding TIF Update and MSTIP 4
Page 2 of 4
➢ Established a Special Funds Reserve for small cities, standalone bicycle and
pedestrian projects, rural road reconstruction and to provide local matching
funds for state or federal projects, or for support of other projects ($30
million)
➢ Provided funding for the top two projects submitted by each jurisdiction
($135,588,000)
➢ Provided funding for top-ranked projects based on application of MSTIP
evaluation criteria ($108,526,000)
The 120% list will have to be pared down to a 100% final list sometime in the next two to
three months. The Coordinating Committee meeting on February 11, 2008 will allow elected
officials to review and discuss projects and the process to reach the final list. This memo is
to provide you with the most current information so that Mayor Dirksen can participate in
these discussions with Council input and support.
The two Tigard projects that made the 120% list are the two segments of Walnut Street to
complete the connection from 116th Avenue east of the 121St intersection to Highway 99W.
The two segments of 72nd Avenue did not make the 120% list.
The total revenue expected over the 6-year period for the new measure is $255 million. The
$30 million in Special Funding is taken off the top leaving a balance of $225 million available
for projects. Based on population, the $135+ million allocated for two projects each from
the various jurisdictions constitutes approximately 60% of the total revenue ($225 million)
available for projects. Tigard's $12.8 million for the two projects is at 61.7% based on .
relative population, which is in line with most of the other jurisdictions, except for Forest
Grove at 88.4%.
In using the current numbers for analysis, it is important to note that most of the estimates
from the various jurisdictions have not been validated. Some of the estimates are based on
completed engineering work. Others are based on use of the County-provided template for
estimates that we all used in estimating project costs for the Metro RTP (Regional
Transportation Plan) update. The template was used to provide uniformity in methodology
across jurisdictions. Once the projects have been selected, the estimates will be verified with
more detailed scope and updated costs. The final numbers will change once the validation is
completed. The estimate for the segment from 116th Avenue to Tiedeman Avenue is based
on a completed design updated to 2007 costs. The segment from Tiedeman to Highway
99W is estimated using the template provided by Washington County.
While widening 72nd Avenue is important to the Tigard Triangle's future development, other
major improvements need to be constructed to allow future growth to occur as envisioned
in the Tigard Triangle Plan. As a minimum, the 72nd Avenue interchange with Highway 217
needs to be upgraded and the existing overpass (between Hunziker and Hampton) replaced
with a new 5-lane overcrossing. ODOT needs to be involved in this upgrading effort. Future
development can assist in upgrading 72nd Avenue. The scope of work is now being
developed for the TSP (Transportation System Plan) update funded by a TGM
(Transportationr Growth Management) grant. This TSP update will closely examine the
Memorandum Regarding TIF Update and MSTTP 4
Page 3 of 4
Tigard Triangle and the transportation issues that need to be resolved for growth and
development to occur.
The opening of the Murray Boulevard extension from Scholls Ferry to Barrows Road at
Walnut Street will funnel higher traffic volumes to Gaarde Street, as long as the Walnut
Street alternative remains uncompleted. Traffic bound for downtown Tigard or areas north
of Walnut Street will use Walnut given a reasonable opportunity. Traffic intending to
proceed south on Highway 99W or to access McDonald Street will use Gaarde Street.
Widening of the substandard segments of Walnut Street should result in better traffic
balance.
The two segments of Walnut Street cannot rely on future redevelopment to widen the street
to ultimate width. From that standpoint, the Walnut Street segments are more appropriately
upgraded with MSTIP funds.
The school zone designation (20 mph 7 am to 5 pm) along Fowler Middle School is a factor
that adversely influences traffic flow. We will propose a project for FY 2008-09 to install
flashing lights in that school zone so that specific times of day for the 20 mph speed limit
can be designated and implemented. The school zone along Gaarde Street in front of the
Tigard Assembly of God School and the zone in front of Alberta Rider Elementary School
are other candidates for flashing lights.
I will provide an update on the status of both measures after the meetings in early February.

WASHINGTON COUNTY
OREGON
January 22, 2008
To: WCCC Transportation Advisory mittee
From: Blair Crumpacker, Senior n r
Subject: MSTIP 4 Project List:- Achieving a balance at 120 percent
Request: Review the following discussion and attachments; be prepared to suggest and discuss
possible refinements at the January 24 and, if necessary, the February 7 WCCC TAC meetings.
Discussion: At the recommendation of the Washington County Coordinating Committee, the
Board of County Commissioners directed staff to proceed with development of a proposed MSTIP
4 package assuming annual revenues of $70 million over a six year period, with a decision on
whether to proceed with a ballot measure to be made later. The revenues would be comprised of
a combination of a continuing contribution from the County's general fund (in lieu of MSTIP 3
revenues) and new local option levy that would be placed on the November 2008 ballot.
Staff first identified a list of projects on the System of Countywide Interest costing approximately
200 percent of resources.available. This established a pool of candidates from which projects to
be included in an MSTIP 4 proposal could be selected. WCCC TAC representatives from each
jurisdiction were asked to submit project candidates costing a share of the total 200 percent target
resource equivalent to the jurisdiction' share of Washington County's population.
County staff evaluated projects on the 200 percent list according to MSTIP evaluation criteria,
which indicate the degree to which each project achieves the primary MSTIP purpose of
addressing traffic safety and congestion problems as well as transportation and growth objectives
identified in county and city transportation .plans. WCCC TAC members were asked to review the
results of the application of the criteria and ranking results.
County staff modified some project point totals in response to-city staff comments pointing out
errors or new information. Staff deferred responding to comments related to the nature. of criteria
or the results of the application of the criteria, believing that many of these reflect concerns with the
ultimate distribution of projects. This work has yet to occur, and in staff's view the concerns
reflected' in many of the comments may be partially resolved during the next step of the process.
A 120 percent list:
Moving in that direction, after some discussion DLUT staff determined that a clearer understanding
of combined local government priorities within the 200 percent project list would be helpful, both to
provide a near-term focus for detailed scoping and costing work, and as an expression of still-
developing "official" priorities to be distributed along with the 200 percent list for public review and
comment. A 1.20 percent list (60 percent of the 200 percent list) seemed a reasonable target.
Using tools developed to date, County staff combined high local-priority projects (the two top
priority projects identified in city submittals) and high countywide priorities (according to project
rankings under MSTIP criteria) to develop the a proposed list. Here's an overview of elements of

MSTIP 4 120 percent list 012308

the proposed 120 percent list (See the attached spreadsheet for a detailed description) and how it
was developed:
Target resources: $255 million (in 2007$). This would include $44 million in annual revenues
from a voter approved six-year local option levy and continuing annual contributions from the
Board of Commissioners in lieu of revenues from MSTIP 3. (The MSTIP 3 tax rate had been
reduced and folded into the County's fixed tax rate as one impact of voter-approved Measure 50.)
A $30 million Special Funds Reserve was subtracted from the $255 million. The current
proposal for use of these Special Funds is $1.5 million for the small cities of Gaston, North Plains
and Banks; $10 million for stand alone bicycle and pedestrian projects; $4.5 million for rural road
reconstruction; and $14 million to provide discretionary funds to be used, for example, to provide
local matching funds for state or federal projects or support other projects as opportunities present
themselves.
The remaining $225 million increased by 20 percent, to $270 million, which was allocated as
follows:
• "Dispersed projects" and studies: $32.35 million: Current proposal includes 1) Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS) activities, including $8.5 million for an adaptive signal program
initiatives on BH/Farmington and Canyon/TV Highway and flashing yellow arrow installations at
locations throughout the urban area; 2) $13.85 million for bridges; and 3) $10 million for studies
of the 173d/174 1h over crossing and Bethany Boulevard.
• Funding for the top two projects submitted by each jurisdiction: $135,588,000: These 15
projects are identified on the accompanying spreadsheet. Five cities submitted project
priorities; three did not. In these latter cases, the top two city projects based upon the
application of MSTIP criteria were used.
• Funding for top-ranked projects based upon application of MSTIP evaluation criteria:
$108,526,000: These twenty projects are identified on the accompanying spreadsheet. They
include five signal coordination projects on TV Highway, Scholls Ferry Road, Cornell and
1.85.th; seven multi-modal street projects on Farmington, Jenkins, Walker Road, and Cornelius
Pass; and seven major intersection improvement projects.
The total of these three categories exceeds the 120 percent target by approximately $6.5 million.
Again, the role of a 120 percent project list is to identify high priority'projects within the larger 200
percent list already identified. It's purpose is to enable DLUT and city staff to proceed with refined
scoping and costing of projects and, ultimately, to provide the public with a sense of priorities being
proposed by their government officials in order that they may more effectively comment on an
MSTIP 4 proposal, should the Board of Commissioners decide to go forward with one.
