MMD1998-00002 MMD98 00002 VILLA LA PAZ APARTMENTS February 24. 1998 CITY OF TIGARD OREGON Mr. Paul Ries ARON FAEGRE &ASSOCIATES 520 SW Yamhill Portland, OR 97204 Dear Mr. Ries: This letter is in response to your request for Minor Modification approval to place a new community building on the grounds and enhance the existing playground and landscaping at the Villa La Paz Apartments at 11895 SW 91st Avenue. The Tigard Community Development Code, Site Development Review Section, states: "if the requested modification meets any of the major modification criteria, the request shall be reviewed as a new Site Development Review application." Section 18.120.070(B) states that the Director shall determine that a major modification(s) will 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 include the addition of any dwelling units. 2. A change in the ratio or number of different types of dwelling units. This criteria is not applicable as this request does not involve the addition of residential dwelling units as previously indicated. 3. A change that requires additional on-site parking in accordance with Chapter 18.106. The change is to serve existing tenants of the site, therefore, no additional vehicle trips will be created and additional on-site parking spaces are not necessary. 4. A change in the type of commercial or industrial structures as defined by the Uniform Building Code. There ass no commercial or industrial structures in this proposal. 5. An increase in the height of the building(s) by more than 20 percent. No existing building will be increased in height and the proposed community building will be a one (1) story structure. 6. A change in the type and location of accessways and parking areas where off-site traffic would be affected. This request will not require a change in accessways or parking areas where off-site traffic would be affected. 7. An increase in vehicular traffic to, and from the site, and the increase can be expected to exceed 20 vehicles per day. As previously mentioned, the proposed modification will not result in an increase in vehicular traffic to or from the site. 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639-4171 TDD (503)684-2772 — 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 proposal is to increase the existing community building by approximately 2,850 square feet, well under the 5,000 square foot requirement. 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 reduction in the amount of common open space since the community building itself is defined as common open space. 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 will be no reduction in the amount or area of existing amenities. The playground will be retained and improved, as will the landscaping. All improvements to this apartment complex add amenities and do not eliminate any. 11. A modification to the conditions imposed at the time of Site Development Review approval which are not the subject of B. 1 through 10 above. The City has found record of final building permit approval in March of 1969. No Site Development Review or Conditional Use files were found, however, it is likely that this development was constructed before responsibility for planning was transferred from Washington County to the City of Tigard. Records may be stored at Washington County. Due to the age of the structure and the fact that building permits were received and finaled for the original construction of the building, staff is concluding that the use of the property for multi-family residential is a pre-existing non-conforming use. This proposal will not increase the non-conforming status because additional dwelling units will not be added as a result of this proposal. This proposal will not adversely modify conditions that may have been required with the original approval. 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 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. THIS REQUEST HAS BEEN APPROVED SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITION: 1. Obtain a building permit for the construction of the community center. Please provide a copy of this letter when applying for permits. There is a fee for the required permits. Please contact the Development Services Division for information on the current fees. If you need additional information or have any questions, please feel free to call me.

As per the requirements of the Minor Modification, a narrative explaining our rationale follows . Phase 2 for this project is to place a new community building on the grounds of the existing apartment complex, to complete the landscaping and to enhance the existing playground for the children that live there. This community building will be less than 5000 square feet, and will include amenities for the tenants such as , a community meeting room, book area, postal boxes, rental office, storage, etc .... The landscaping will place easy to maintain flowers and shrubs throughout the complex. In order of their appearance in the Tigard Municipal Code, the following issues are answered: 1. Dwelling Unit Density: The dwelling unit density of this project will not be increased since the project is for a community building for the tenants. 2 . A Change in the Ratio or Number of Different Types of Units: Changing the unit ratios and/or numbers of units is not a part of this project. 3. Chance That Reauires Additional Parking: The proposed change does not trigger additional parking requirements. The existing number of parking spaces will remain and the parking lot has been re- striped under the phase 1 documents to show compact spaces to be no more than 40% of the number of the existing spaces. 4. A Change in the Type of Commercial or Industrial Structures: There are no commercial or industrial structures on the property. 5. Buildina Height Increase: No existing building has been increased in height, and the new community building is a one story structure. ,5 0 the�s. - t use • Tncnant8• Of this co g. sate to tra - e 8 '&200r_re 1 V e! cu ar bu�1d nIg since i t t be e• No in Sf allfip f°r th °O- r �� 0 -xd will bQ used bhrOU9h tfected 9 well ase o P flag gildi ire co c - s- •1 ! t by "rough the 50p0 SF °ed �pstY b it b' e: See numb 1p bu dingy 1 ti the �.�,. maximum. ekie ng and Por hA gkimF The 6 amount .°n 'rsel 1 d fined cUon O•e ld4ng es)°n1Yh2 lactua not ,oun em ill b- exi_eni ties co on °Aen aS e singe re is 85ps f1 11 °di fl irninatents to Chas nacj,,hies d wejl Aace the cpi,°ur,unit Project -i;.;0 ratio Aertm 1mPr grin be no as 1'le record Of aanye igned *- e .o ent c mA ex add�ll Athee ct1Th in th ReSA se call i Yoreiou ansi be dev pAro Vet°•me Benz ties n and do ng'e ectt- u have eloAm n1tatelY 35e�'lew: `` Y� any questianS reVlew has ben go no s Paul Rl es .. cc: 1_ Sheila b: ch GTo-urea th vstad a �Pink COT0209 • g.
