Mayor Griffith called meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.

➢ BRIEFING ON THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY (UGB) REVIEW
PROCESS BY METRO STAFF
Metro Representatives Present: Brenda Bernards, Senior Regional Planner;
Lydia Neill, Principal Regional Planner; David Bragdon, Metro Councilor; and
Carl Hosticka, Metro Councilor.
Metro Councilor David Bragdon introduced this topic. Metro is currently
reviewing the 20-year land capacity of the UGB. Three of these sites are near
Tigard boundaries with two sites (identified as Tier One, Areas 63 and 64) as
being the most likely to be eventually added to the City of Tigard. Area 65 is
adjacent to King City- Council received written information from Community
Development Director Hendryx reviewing the issues associated with this
potential expansion:
1. Allow for park acreage in the expansion areas when projecting future
densities.
2. Allocate acreage for parks-deficient Bull Mountain in the expansion
areas.
3. Create a mechanism to pay for parks in expansion areas.
Metro Representatives discussed with the Council the policy issues for which
they would like input including:
• How much of the future growth should be accommodated within the UGB
(increased densities within town centers and along corridors)?
• What are the concerns about the maintenance of separation between
communities (referred to Sherwood, Tualatin, and Wilsonville)?
• Should most of future expansion occur in a single area or should it be
assigned piecemeal?
• Should needs that develop because of growth be addressed on a regional or
sub-regional basis?
COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES — July 9, 2002 page 1
After discussion, the summary of the key points brought out included the
following:
• the City would most likely ultimately have the planning authority for Tier 1
areas 63 and 64
• the City would like to see a requirement that areas must annex before
development occurs
• the City would Nike for Metro to formally acknowledge that areas identified
as residential also will need to provide for commercial and industrial sites to
provide service or employment to the residents
• the City does not want new regulations to be imposed on Town Centers,
since opening up a new public hearing process before the newly established
Town Centers have time to evolve would be detrimental to the regional
center concept
• the City would like Metro to support parks system development charges on
a uniform basis
• there is a deficiency of large-lot industrial areas in the region and sites need
to be identified for this use in Metro's study area
• the Bull Mountain area will likely become part of the City of Tigard in the
future (a question of "when?") — a survey is now being conducted about
the question of annexing this area and the Tigard Council will have some
information in August about whether annexation will occur in the near
future
In August, Mike Burton, Metro Executive Director, will make a
recommendation to the Metro Council about whether there is sufficient
capacity within the current UGB to meet growth needs. It is suspected that
additional land will be needed to accommodate the growth. After Mr. Burton
submits his report, the Metro Council will begin its review. Additional
technical information will be released in about two weeks.
