The tenant space located at 9339 SW Washington Square Road, Suite T11 (WCTM 1S12600, Tax Lot 0300), was previously occupied by Janeville. Proposed facade modifications will reflect the tenant change. Because the site is located within the Washington Sqaure Regional Center (WSRC), building design standards apply. The zoning of the site is Mixed Use Commercial (MUC). Analysis of Modification Request: Section 18.360.060 of the Tigard Development Code Site Development Review chapter, states; "any modification which is not within the description of a major modification as provided in section 18.360.050 shall be considered a minor modification." Section 18.360.050 states that the Director shall determine that a major modification(s) has resulted if one (1) or more of the changes listed below have been proposed: 1. An increase in dwelling unit density or lot coverage for residential development. The proposal does not involve residential property. 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 proposed facade changes do not require additional on - site parking. This criterion is not applicable. 4. A change in the type of commercial or industrial structures as defined by the Uniform Building Code. No change in the structural type of the buildings is proposed. Therefore, this criterion is satisfied. 5. An increase in the height of the building(s) by more than 20 percent. The new facade will not extend above the existing parapet. The height of the building will not increase. This standard is met. 6. A change in the type and location of accessways and parking areas where off - site traffic would be affected. No changes are proposed to the existing accessways or parking area of Washington Square. This standard is met. 7. An increase in vehicular traffic to and from the site and the increase can be expected to exceed 100 vehicles per day. The previous and proposed uses are the same, Sales — Oriented Retail. No significant increase in traffic to and from the mall is anticipated by the proposed change. Therefore, this criterion is satisfied. Page 1 of 3 / t 8. An increase in the floor areas proposed for a non - residential use by more than ten percent excluding expansions under 5,000 square feet. The applicant is not proposing an expansion to the building floor area with this application. Only a remodel of the existing 2,867 square feet and exterior facade change is proposed. This standard has been met. 9. A reduction in the area reserved for common open space and /or usable open space that reduces the open space area below the minimum required by the code or reduces the open space areas by more than ten percent. There arc no areas reserved for common open space for this development. This standard does not apply. 10. A reduction of project amenities (recreational facilities, screening; and /or, landscaping provisions) below the minimum established by the code or by more than ten percent where specified in the site plan. The proposed building facade modification will have no effect on site amenities such as landscaping. This criterion has been met. 11. A modification to the conditions imposed at the time of Site Development Review approval that is not the subject of criteria (B). 1 through 10 above this subsection. The original site plan was approved through a Site Development Review in 2004 (SDR 2003 - 00012). Staff has reviewed this decision. Condition #19 requiring a minimum of 2,100 square feet of window area is provided along the entire exterior facade of the expansion. The applicant has addressed the Washington Square Regional building design standards to show the requirements are still met by the facade change. Calculations taken from the original SDR file show 126 square feet of window area on the existing Janeville facade. The new lucy facade will have 382 based on elevation plans provided by the applicant. This condition continues to be me by the proposed facade change. 18..630.060 requires buildings constructed in the MUC, MUE and MUR zones within the WSRC shall comply with the following design standards. Ground floor windows. All street - facing elevations within the Building Setback (0 to 10 feet) along public streets shall include a minimum of 50% of the ground floor wall area with windows, display areas or doorway openings. The ground floor wall area shall be measured from three feet above grade to nine feet above grade the entire width of the street - facing elevation. The ground floor window requirement shall be met within the ground floor wall area and for glass doorway openings to ground level. Up to 50% of the ground floor window requirement may be met on an adjoining elevation as long as the entire requirement is located at a building corner. The applicant did not provide calculations to show how the 50% criterion is met. Staff utilized a scaled elevation plan provided by the applicant to get the measurements. The ground floor wall area is 180.6 square feet, so the window requirement is 90 square feet. The original SDR approval states that to acknowledge security concerns and reflect the predominant development design of the remainder of the mall, this window area may be provided anywhere between grade and the roof parapet. The plan shows a total of 382 square feet of windows /display areas within the facade. This criterion has been satisfied. Building facades. Facades that face a public street shall extend no more than 50 feet without providing at least one of the following features: (1) a variation in building materials; (2) a building off -set of at least 1 -foot; (3) a wall area that is entirely separated from other wall areas by a projection, such as an arcade; or (4) by another design features that reflect the building's structural system. No building facade shall extend for more than 300 feet without a pedestrian connection between or through the building. The applicant states that the facade does not extend more than 50 feet, therefore this standard is not applicable. The facade of this tenant spaces is approximately 30 feet wide, but the entire facade of the building is over 50 feet. Based on the elevation provided, this facade has aluminum fascia projections and the Page 2 of 3 r . ti materials used differ from the tenant spaces on either side (Sephora and Pottery Barn Kids). This criterion has been satisfied. Weather protection. Weather protection for pedestrians, such as awnings, canopies, and arcades, shall be provided at building entrances. Weather protection is encouraged along building frontages abutting a public sidewalk or a hard - surfaced expansion of a sidewalk, and along building frontages between a building entrance and a public street or accessway. The lucy tenant space has no exterior public entries, but three canvas awnings are proposed over the ground floor windows abutting the sidewalk. There is one service entrance along the facade that has weather protection. This standard is satisfied. Building Materials. Plain concrete block, plain concrete, corrugated metal, plywood, sheet press board or vinyl siding may not be used as exterior finish materials. Foundation material may be plain concrete or plain concrete block where the foundation material is not revealed for more than 2 feet. The applicant has provided a building elevation with description of materials and a materials board. The proposed finish materials are scored exterior insulated finish, metal trim and fascia protection, and orange canvas awnings. None of the proposed materials are prohibited. This criterion has been met. Roofs and roof lines. Except in the case of a building entrance feature, roofs shall be designed as an extension of the primary materials used for the buil and should respect the building's structural system and architectural style. False fronts and false roofs are not permitted. The applicant states that the storefront is below the building parapet and will not blur the building lines. No false front or false roof is proposed. Roof - mounted equipment. All roof - mounted equipment must be screened from view from adjacent public streets. Satellite dishes and other communication equipment must be set back or positioned on a roof so that exposure from adjacent public streets is minimized. Solar heating panels are exempt from this standard. No change to the location of the roof - mounted equipment is proposed and currently it is not visible. 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, or injurious to surrounding properties, provided that development which occurs after this decision complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws.
