COUNCIL MINUTES
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING
September 24, 2002
Mayor Griffith called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Council Present: Mayor Griffith; Councilors Moore, Dirksen, and Scheckla
• STUDY SESSION
➢ DISCUSS UPDATE ON METRO'S URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY (UGB)
EXPANSION PROCESS
Community Development Director Hendryx presented this agenda item. Four
charts were reviewed with the City Council (charts are on file in the City
Recorder's office). The charts were titled as follows:
• Metro UGB Expansion: Regional Issues
• Metro UGB Expansion: Commercial Issues
• Metro UGB Expansion: Tigard's Borders (Two charts for this subject.)
Mr. Hendryx advised that questions for Tigard to consider are as follows:
• Does Tigard support the overall concern about the shortage of "ready-to-go"
industrial areas as part of this year's UGB expansion?
• Does the City want another mixed-use area besides the Regional Center?
• Should these industrial areas along 217 be included in the conversion
discussion?
• Should Tigard initiate/lead the discussion on the relationship between the
centers and mixed-use areas?
• Should the City accept the varying densities between Bull Mountain and
expansion areas or should it propose a flexible alternative?
• How should the City tackle the open space/park land shortage?
• Should the City participate in developing regional policy for neighborhood
commercial areas?
Mr. Hendryx noted the only industrial area identified for the "west side" is five acres
in Hillsboro. The majority of industrial area proposed in the UGB expansion is on the
"east side" (Damascus 8T Happy Valley). The City of Portland is opposed to the
Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) allowing a subregional
analysis to review distribution of industrial-designated land.

Council Dirksen advised he is opposed to new industrial land sited around the
periphery of the UGB and said that, in general, he believes that there is a need to
hold the line on the UGB. Peripheral expansion leads to infrastructure (e.g.,
transportation/traffic) problems. He said that the current industrial land is not being
fully utilized. With regard to the proposal to change some industrial land to mixed
use, Councilor Dirksen noted his concern that this would only create a need to find
new industrial land elsewhere.
After the staff presentation, it was determined that this item needs to be rescheduled
for review and discussion by the City Council.
➢ ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
City Recorder Wheatley noted the upcoming League of Oregon Cities (LOC) and
National League of Cities (NLC) conferences. The LOC conference will be held
November 8-10 in Portland. NLC conference will be held December 3-7 in Salt
Lake City. City Recorder will work with those interested in attending for
registration arrangements.

improvement proposal that the Washington County Commissioners have placed on

arena/amphitheater. Mr. Hillman said that if the measure is approved, they hope to
