AIS -1021 3 Workshop Meeting Meeting Date: 11/20/2012 Length (in minutes): 10 Minutes Agenda Title: Briefing on the Woodard Park Parking Project and an Amendment to Construct a Turnaround on Metro Property at Woodard Park Prepared For: Mike Stone Submitted By: Greer Gaston, Public Works Item Type: Meeting Type: Council Workshop Mtg. Public Hearing: No Publication Date: Information ISSUE The council will be briefed on: • The Woodard Park parking project and potential project funding sources. • An intergovernmental agreement (IGA) amendment to construct a turnaround on Metro property at Woodard Park. Staff is seeking council direction on project funding and the IGA amendment. STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST No action is required; consideration of an IGA amendment and action regarding the use of park system development charge (SDC) funds would be scheduled on an upcoming council consent agenda. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The Issue —A Long - standing Parking Problem There is no formal parking area for Woodard Park. To access Woodard Park, many people park on Katherine Street, a narrow, dead end, neighborhood street. Park visitors' vehicles often clog the street and block access to fire hydrants and the driveways. Park goers have damaged vehicles and property while attempting to turn around in the driveways of local residents. The city has received many complaints from the Katherine Street neighborhood. The council was briefed on the parking issues in a memo from former City Engineer Theodore Kyle dated August 4, 2011. A copy of the memo is attached. The Solution The Engineering Division designed a parking area and an emergency vehicle turnaround at the end of Katherine Street; a conceptual design is attached. The proposed parking area — consisting of nine spaces, including an ADA accessible space is situated in the public right of way. The turnaround is located on Metro property. A vicinity map of the project area is attached. In order to construct the parking area as designed, council action would be required on the following two items: Funding The city would need to identify a funding mechanism for the project. Project costs are estimated to be less than $50,000 and could be funded through a combination of: 1. Street Division operational funds. 2. Park Division operational funds. 3. Park SDCs; SDCs can fund up to two- thirds of the project. In order to use park SDCs, the council would need to add the Woodard Park parking project to the Projects for Neighborhood /Pocket Parks list in the Parks & Recreation System Development Charge Study adopted by council earlier this year. Staff has discussed this issue with our SDC consultant, who agreed with this funding approach. Our consultant also advised that based on the small size of this project, the current SDC rate would not need to be adjusted. If council agrees with this funding approach, staff will place an amendment to the Projects for Neighborhood /Pocket Parks list on an upcoming consent agenda. Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Amendment A portion of Woodard Park is situated on Metro property. The majority of the property is managed and maintained by the City of Tigard under a 1999 IGA with Metro. (Metro manages a small area in the southeast corner of the parcel; this section of the parcel is referred to the Lowery property.) The parking area turnaround would be situated on Metro property. Although not required, the turnaround would be relatively easy to construct in conjunction with the parking project, and it would greatly improve emergency vehicle access on Katherine Street. The city needs permission to construct the turnaround on Metro property. To that end, city and Metro staff developed the attached IGA amendment in which: • Metro allows the city to construct the turnaround on its property. • The city assumes responsibility for the turnaround. If council would like to construct the parking area as designed, staff will place consideration of the IGA amendment on an upcoming consent agenda. OTHER ALTERNATIVES The council could decide to: • Not move forward with the proposed funding approach. If no alternate funding a sources are identified, the project would not be constructed. • Propose changes to the amendment or could elect not to consider the amendment. Without some version of the amendment, the turnaround could not be constructed. COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS This amendment is consistent with the Woodard Park Concept Plan which was adopted by council in 1999. DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION The council was briefed on the parking issues in a memo from former City Engineer Theodore Kyle dated August 4, 2011. A copy of the memo is attached. • Fiscal Impact Fiscal Information: Project costs are estimated to be less than $50,000 and could be funded through a combination of: 1. Street Division operational funds. 2. Park Division operational funds. 3. Park SDCs; SDCs can fund up to two- thirds of the project. In order to use park SDCs, the council would need to add the Woodard Park parking project to the Projects for Neighborhood /Pocket Parks list in the Parks & Recreation System Development Charge Study adopted by council earlier this year. Staff has discussed this issue with our SDC consultant, who agreed with this funding approach.

If council agrees with this funding approach, staff will place an amendment to the Projects for Neighborhood /Pocket Parks list on an upcoming consent agenda. Attachments Memo Regarding Parking Issues Near Woodard Park - August 5, 2011 Woodard Park Parking Conceptual Design Parking Plan Vicinity Map IGA Amendment ;, 8-j // CC h e ,)s ear IN City of Tigard D Memorandum To: Public Works Director Dennis Koellermeier From: City Engineer Theodore S. Kyle, PE. Re: Parking Issues on Katherine Street near Woodard Park Date: August 4, 2011 About six months ago, Mr. Joe Zwingraf, 10265 SW Katherine Street, contacted me regarding a parking problem. Katherine Street borders Woodard Park; park users park their vehicles on the street to access the Woodard Park playground. There is no formal parking area for the park. Katherine Street is a narrow, dead end road with no turnaround. When parking on Katherine Street, park users often block access to fire hydrants and residents' driveways. Mr. Zwingraf and his neighbors have missed medical appointments because they could not get out of their driveways. Park users have also damaged vehicles and property while attempting to turn around in the driveways of Katherine Street residents. Mr. Zwingraf has asked for the following changes: 1. Provide a proper turn around for park users. 2. Add a formal parking area for the park. 3. Impose residential parking restrictions along Katherine Street. We are working on a design for a turn around and parking area at the end of Katherine Street. It appears we could provide six to eight parking spaces and a turn around without impacting the stately oak trees and other features of the park. We are also investigating residential parking restrictions along Katherine Street. The restrictions would be patterned after parking restrictions surrounding Tigard High School. Katherine Street residents would have permits to park in front of their homes and would also have a supply of guest permits. Council has the power to implement parking restrictions through the creation of a parking district. Mr. Zwingraf has talked with all his neighbors; they all support the creation of a parking district. Attached are two photos of Katherine Street on a typical day. c: Police Chief Al Orr -42 •.• ..I .. „.,. ; • . • ,..p•-. . • V1 k.• .. I 4., f, ',. A,. ■,„ .

Workshop Meeting Meeting Date: 11/20/2012 Length (in minutes): 45 Minutes Agenda Title: River Terrace Community Plan Briefing Submitted By: Darren Wyss, Community Development Council Workshop Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Meeting Type: Mtg. Public Hearing Newspaper Legal Ad Required ?: No Public Hearing Publication Date in Newspaper: Information ISSUE Staff will update the council on project work program and the proposed adoption of West Bull Mt. Concept Plan land uses STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Council is requested to receive a briefing from staff, ask questions and provide input as desired. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The city has agreed via an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Washington County to refine its West Bull Mt. Concept Plan into the River Terrace Community Plan. The community plan will put into place a means to implement the vision of the concept plan through zoning, development code regulations and other measures that will make urban development possible. The process will also include updates to utility, parks and transportation master plans, including financial strategies necessary to fund and maintain required infrastructure improvements. City staff have developed a work program (see Attachment 1) to guide the project through completion. This will include a lot of technical work to ensure the community plan meets the state and regional planning requirements as well a public involvement plan to engage stakeholders in any necessary refinements to the concept plan as the process moves forward. Staff anticipates completion of the River Terrace Community Plan in summer 2014 (see Attachment 2). The first decision city council will be asked to make is to adopt the concept plan recommended land uses (see Attachment 3) into the Tigard Comprehensive Plan (Task 2 in the work program). This action will set expectations for the community planning process, as well as allowing the city to access a portion of the CET funds from Metro that were given to the city through the IGA with Washington County. A number of policies will also be recommended for adoption to guide regulation of the River Terrace area during and after completion of the community planning process (see Attachment 4). These recommended land uses will be analyzed as part of the community planning process and if there are needed refinements, recommended changes will be brought back before city council for adoption at the end of the process. The Tigard Planning Commission has been briefed on this proposed amendment and a public hearing has been scheduled for December 3, 2012 for a recommendation to city council. The city council hearing is scheduled for December 11, 2012. The city has begun work on a few tasks included in the work program. These include: a tree grove inventory and an Economic, Social, Environment and Energy analysis (ESEE) for both the tree grove inventory and the local wetland inventory previously completed during the concept planning process; an initial meeting of the technical advisory committee; and a community kick -off meeting held on October 24, 2012. The kick -off meeting was well attended (47 signed in and estimated 70 total participants) and overall the conversations and comments regarding the concept plan were positive. Individuals had specific topics they wanted addressed in the community plan, but there was no organized opposition to any particular recommendations. The most popular comment was wanting the community planning process completed as soon as possible. OTHER ALTERNATIVES N/A COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS 1.

AIS -1065 55 Workshop Meeting Meeting Date: 11/20/2012 Length (in minutes): 45 Minutes Agenda Title: Southwest Corridor Plan Update Submitted By: Judith Gray, Community Development Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Meeting Type: Council Workshop Mtg. Public Hearing: No Publication Date: Information ISSUE Council will hear an update of the Southwest Corridor Plan project, including recent Steering Committee decisions and upcoming activities. STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST NA KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY At the October 22 meeting, the Southwest Corridor Steering Committee voted on a narrowed set of transit options to complete the Transit Alternatives Analysis. At this stage, the transit alternatives are still "broad brush" and will be refined in the course of the alternatives analysis which is to be completed by June 30, 2013. The Steering Committee action included the following: • The alternatives include Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as well as T.ight Rail Transit (LRT). The committee did not express strong support or opposition to LRT; there was a general consensus that there isn't enough information yet to rule it out. There is considerable familiarity with LRT with respect to transit and economic development. The same cannot be said of BRT, so analysis of LRT will be a useful benchmark at the very least. • All of the alternatives would connect Portland to Tigard; further refinement through this process is expected to identify specific station areas. • Upon connection to Tigard, there may be several options regarding potential extensions to Tualatin, Kruse Way, Sherwood, and the Washington Square Regional Center. • WES will not be included for analysis as part of the SW Corridor Plan; however, potential WES improvements will be included in terms of potential impacts to a SW Corridor HCT route. • There is strong support for improvements to traditional bus service; however, such improvements do not have to be identified through the SW Corridor Plan. The Steering committee directed that improvements on local transit enhancements should begin independent of the SW Corridor Plan. This work is expected to start in 2013. In addition to the analysis of transit options, the project team has been doing high -level screening analysis of several hundred individual projects, including roadways; parks and natural areas; and active transportation. The Steering Committee has provided, and will continue to provide, direction on general methodology and criteria. Next Steps The next significant technical undertaking will be creation of "integrated strategies" that combine the transit alternatives with investments in roadway, active transportation, and parks /natural resources. This effort will build on the HCT Land Use Plan as well as other plans. Additional input and direction will come from several engagement activities being conducted in November and December (see Attachment A). One of the events is a Steering Committee workshop on December 12 in the Tigard Library. This workshop is designed to engage several newly elected officials who may be steering committee members in 2013. All council members and members -elect are invited to attend. OTHER ALTERNATIVES NA COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS Goal 1.b.ii. Contribute to the Southwest Corridor Plan by adopting Tigard's land use policies and designations and identifying priorities for high- capacity transit (HCT) station location alternatives by mid -2012. Long Term Goal. Continue pursuing opportunities to reduce traffic congestion. Long Range Objectives. Tigard's interests in regional and statewide issues are coordinated with appropriate agencies and jurisdictions. Tigard citizens are involved in the community and participate effectively.

This service typically uses traditional buses (about 45 seats) but may also use sl� , articulated buses (about 65 seats). Local bus service shares roadway and ranges in frequency depending on the route and time of day. Express bus .erw Express buses in the region are local bus service, using the same vehicles and following 5 the same routes. Express bus service moves the focus toward regional mobility by reducing "'t _ the number of stops during peak periods between concentrated housing and employment areas. Enhanced bus Am Enhanced bus service focuses on regional mobility, connecting concentrated housing and employment areas. The service may use traditional buses or those with more amenities (for , t 7 instance, coach -style vehicles) or more capacity, be given signal priority, have few stops, and/ or have special lanes in limited areas. Service frequency can be increased during peak hours. i Streetcar `' ``" ' Streetcar focuses on community access within an urban area, with stops about every three or four blocks. Local streetcar service has been used in Portland to encourage development _ - _ _ ` of shopping, housing and other destination areas. Streetcars have 30 seats per car with room and design for several passengers to stand. Cars can be doubled, and service frequency increased, during peak hours. The service operates in mixed traffic. - Rapid streetcar '-' = 4 Using the same technology as local streetcar, rapid streetcar focuses on regional mobility, '' - -. r offering fewer stops through less populated areas to connect housing areas to jobs or other '�i , destinations. Cars can be doubled, and service frequency increased, during peak hours. The _ service operates in mixed traffic, in exclusive right of way or a combination of the two. Bus rapid transit Bus rapid transit uses coach -style or high capacity buses (40-60 seats with room and design for several passengers to stand). The service may be in the roadway with turnouts and signal ' : '. ' priority for stops, have an exclusive right of way, or be some combination of the two The 't' service focuses on regional mobility, with higher speeds, fewer stops, higher frequency and more substantial stations than local bus, connecting concentrated housing or local bus hubs and employment areas. Service frequency can be increased during peak hours. Dim Light rail Light rail uses high capacity trains (68 seats with room and design for several passengers to stand) and focuses on regional mobility with stops typically one -half to 1 mile apart, 00 connecting concentrated housing or local bus hubs and employment areas. The service has its own right of way. Cars can be doubled, and service frequency increased, during peak hours. Commuter rail Commuter rail uses high capacity heavy rail trains (74 seats in a single car, 154 in - . )1 111ffints; doubled cars), typically sharing right of way with freight or other train service (though .15 out of roadway). The service focuses on connecting major housing or local bus hubs and employment areas with few stops and higher speeds. The service may have limited or no non -peak service.
