The request is to enclose an existing 930 square foot roofed area that is situated between the office and warehouse. The present use of the site is listed as a permitted use for this zoning district. The Tigard Community Development Code Section 18.360 states that the Director shall approve or conditionally approve a minor modification if the proposed development is in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Tigard Community Development Code and the modification is not a major modification. A major modification would result if one (1) or more of the following changes are proposed: 1. An increase in dwelling unit density, or lot coverage for residential development. The proposal does not involve a residential development; therefore, this , standard does not apply. 2. A change in the ratio or number of different types of dwelling units. This criterion is not applicable, as this request does not involve a residential development. 3. A change that requires additional on -site parking in accordance with Chapter 18.765. The change would increase the building square footage by 930 square feet. No additional on -site parking is required because the site exceeds the maximum amount of parking allowed by the Tigard Community Development Code. 4. A change in the type of commercial or industrial structures as defined by the Uniform Building Code. No change in the type of structure is proposed. --- - - -- - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - - - -- 5. An increase in the height of the building(s) by more than 20 percent.

An increase in vehicular traffic to, and from the site, and the increase can be expected to exceed 100 vehicles per day. No additional traffic will be generated on the site. According to the applicant, no additional employees will be added as a result of this area being enclosed. 8. An increase in the floor area proposed for a non - residential use by more than 10 percent excluding expansions under 5,000 square feet. The proposed increase of 930 square feet does not exceed the 5,000 square feet modification limitation; therefore, this standard does not apply. 9. A reduction in the area reserved for common open space and /or usable open space which reduces the open space area below the minimum required by this code or reduces the open space area by more than 10 percent. There is no area reserved for common open space; therefore, this standard does not apply. 10. A reduction of project amenities (Recreational facilities; Screening; and /or Landscaping provisions) below the minimum established by this code or by more than 10 percent where specified in the site plan. There is no change in project amenities; therefore, this standard has been satisfied. 11. A modification to the conditions imposed at the time of Site Development Review approval which are not the subject of Section 18.360.050.B. 1 through 10 (above). There is no modification to the conditions imposed by the last minor modification that was issued in 1998. The facility was built before the City's site development review process was adopted. This request is determined to be a minor modification to an existing site. The Director's designee has determined that the proposed minor modification of this existing site will continue to promote the general welfare of the City and will not be significantly detrimental, nor injurious to surrounding properties provided that, development which occurs after this decision complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws.
