ISSUE
In January, consulting firm McKenzie worked with Community Development staff during a two-part
site development exploration with participation by the Fields Trust (owners of the property) and real
estate professionals from Norris Beggs and Simpson. The purpose of these meetings, discussions and
deliberations was to explore development scenarios that,in concept,provide a balance of uses on a
site that has sat empty and underutilized.
The intended result of the meetings was two to three development concepts that, according to the
scope of work, explore "how the property might be rezoned and/or reconfigured to better align with
the physical characteristics and constraints of the property; find the appropriate balance/mix of
industrial,office and residential users for the site;and assist with Fields Trust's desires to increase the
property's market viability." The charrette-style workshops were paid for by the Fields Trust. The
goals,process and results of this collaboration will be shared with the City Council at this workshop.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION /ACTION REQUEST
No council action needed at this time.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Fields property, currently owned in trust as part of the Fred Fields estate,includes four
contiguous parcels encompassing just over 42 acres with a significant slope. The largest two lots are
zoned Industrial Park (I-P). A third parcel is zoned Professional Commercial, and the smallest is
zoned Low Density Residential. According to GIS maps, a non-jurisdictional (not controlled or
regulated by the City)wetland is located on the northwest portion of the site. The property is
bounded on the south by an active rail line and rail car switching yard. On the southwest side of the
property runs a privately owned rail spur and a private access road (Wall Street) serving the adjacent
industrial properties. On the east side,residential zoned property with an R-3.5 and an R-25
designation borders this potential development site. To the immediate north,industrial zoned
property has already been developed and put to economic use.
The Fields property has a combination of development challenges including lack of infrastructure,
slope,and a variety of permitted land uses. However, the size of the parcels combined, and the site's
location with close proximity to I-205 and Hwy 217, are assets that make this property marketable.
The site is complex and requires a complex solution in order to arrive at a mix of activities that
respond to near- and long-term market demand, as well as the needs of this community.

Re: Fields Property Assistance(Wall Street Parcel)
Development Feasibility Workshop
Project Number 2130474.00
Dear Kelly:
Mackenzie is pleased to present this proposal to work collaboratively with the Fields Trust representatives and the City
of Tigard to strategize and develop a plan for how the property might be rezoned and/or reconfigured to better align
with the physical characteristics and constraints of the property, find the appropriate balance/mix of industrial, office,
and residential users for the site, and assist with Fields Trust's desire to increase the property's market viability.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Through a series of two collaborative, charrette-style workshops, Mackenzie will facilitate structured, interactive
meetings with a select group of stakeholders. Stakeholders will include City staff, trust representatives, and real estate
experts familiar with the current market (estimated group of 10-15 people maximum).
SCOPE OF WORK
Preparation for Workshop 1:
Mackenzie will prepare and gather documents for Workshop 1. Documents will include a short visual (Powerpoint)
presentation illustrating restraints of property, previous layouts that have been looked at, history of the property and
surrounding properties, infrastructure, and any other relative information to the site. Mackenzie will also consult with
industry experts for input on pros/cons of specific uses on the property (including, but not limited to, industrial,
commercial, housing, and/or incubator work space) and review City-provided data and studies to assist the team with
quantifying anticipated housing, industrial, and office space needs in the City of Tigard.
Workshop 1:
Goal: Review property constraints and configurations, then brainstorm on zoning options and possible uses on the site,
such that two or three possible solutions can be further investigated and developed into a conceptual plan. The
projected agenda is as follows.

• Introductions (10 minutes).
• Present prepared background information on property (20 minutes).
• Prepare and facilitate a `round table' discussion to review possible options for zoning and uses on the site
through the use of wipeboards and `markable/draw-on' site diagrams such that priorities and value items are
ranked in priority-including long term planning goals of the City (30 minutes).
■ As a group, review all development solutions developed, review the uses and typologies, as well as alternatives
that allow for provisions to blend as specific structures (i.e., flex space), and rank according to priorities and
values identified above. Intent is to determine two or three feasible solutions to be developed further (30
minutes).
• Adjourn with intent for group to meet again in 2-3 weeks.
Preparation for Workshop 2:
Mackenzie will review the conceptual diagrams generated from Workshop 1 and develop two to three conceptual
bubble diagrams that take into account: accessibility, topography, compatibility, development potential approximate
square footages), and through assistance with real estate experts, determine market feasibility of each scheme.
Additionally, we will provide relevant examples/precedent images for each development concept chosen to be
developed further.
Workshop 2:
Goal: Review the two or three possible solutions based on outcome of Workshop 1 with the intent of reviewing market
viability, development costs, entitlement procedures and timing, and contribution to the City's need for jobs and
housing. The group will determine the most viable, mutually agreeable product that meets the intent of all stakeholders
such that city staff can roll out to planning commission/city council at regularly scheduled work sessions for review and
comment. The intent at this workshop is also to outline the timing and costs associated with any legislative procedure
required to accomplish required entitlement modifications. The projected outline of the meeting is as follows.
• Introductions (5 minutes).
• Present the two to three conceptual diagrams for review and discussion (25 minutes).
■ Prepare and facilitate a `round table' discussion on the pros and cons of each scheme and work together to
outline timing and costs associated with any legislative procedures required to accomplish entitlement
modifications(45 minutes).
• Determine a mutually-agreeable plan (or plans) that city staff can present to planning commission/council for
review (15 minutes).
After completion of Workshops:
Mackenzie will generate a follow-up document (through the use of narrative and diagrams)that documents the process
and outcome from the Charrette Process.

Primary Issues
1. Slope and configuration of majority of site not suitable for
market-scale development allowed under current I-P zoning
(e.g.200' wide/deep or larger industrial/employment use
buildings)
2. Slope of SW Hunzlker Road not adequate for truck access
on north side of site(to support allowed uses under current
I-P zoning); existing grade is : 10%, recommended grade is :
4-5%)
3. Transportation System Plan (TSP)designation and width
of SW Wall Street (private) between adjacent development
and rail spur not wide enough for City Collector standards
(SW Wall Street designated as future Collector on City's
TSP)
Secondary Issues
1. Wetland area in flattest portion of site(low quality)
2. Remaining trees along eastern property line(both positive
and negative factor)
3. Limited access to site for some uses from Hwy 217, SW
72nd Avenue,and Hwy 99W on existing roads
4. Possible Noise from adjacent railroad switching yard could
impact possible uses depending on needs

111 .6 DEVELOPMENT COMPARISON COSTS
PacTrust Development has successfully developed over 10.000.000 square feet of industrial and flex/office space.with most of that happening in and around the Willamette valley area. In an effort
to realistically look at business park development costs of the Fields Property in comparison to other recently developed properties in the area.PacTrust has assisted the team with compiling actual
development costs of a recently completed industrial flex/office project of similar scale and density to estimated development costs on the Fields Property in Tigard.

KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
Tigard Municipal Court continues to provide a local forum for the resolution of citations that are
issued within the Tigard city limits. As in years past, the court's 2013 caseload was predominantly
minor traffic offenses arising under the Oregon Revised Statutes. The court has established policies
and procedures so that cases are adjudicated in a fair,professional and efficient manner,consistently
applying relevant statutes and ordinances. Where an offense has been committed, the court strives to:
1) enter appropriate sanctions in order to deter subsequent offenses,taking into account individual
circumstances to the extent allowed by law and workload constraints;and,2) provide education
about public safety, relevant statutes and the legal process.
This year's annual report contains information on Tigard's current traffic safety diversion policies, the
pros and cons of traffic diversion and examples of what surrounding jurisdiction's policies are related
to diversion. Typically a traffic safety diversion consists of attending a traffic safety program and
paying a fee. If both elements are completed, the citation is dismissed. Approximately 7% of
municipal court's 2013 caseload was resolved through diversion. Since the court's policy towards
diversions is one component of the city's interactions with citizens, the court is seeking the assistance
of City Council in evaluating its programs and their contribution to enhancing public safety in
Tigard. Depending on the city's broad goals,Tigard's diversion programs can be expanded or left in
their present limited form.
In 2013, 7,180 offenses were filed in municipal court. Of those,convictions have been entered in
83% of the cases. During this time period, the court imposed $1,117,181 in fines and fees. The court
collected over$1,000,000, for fines and assessments imposed over multiple years. Of that, $358,205
in statutory assessments were remitted to state and local agencies.
The use of technology continues to play a significant role in court efficiencies. 1,866 payments were
made through court's on-line vendor CitePayUSA. Those payments post in the court's case
management system which results in reduced processing time. The police department has continued
their use of electronic citations. 5,488 violations were received saving significant time in data entry.
The court continues to give high priority to providing information in person,in print and online
about Oregon law, court operations and public safety. Approximately 80 of the judge's monthly
"Rules of the Road" columns have appeared in Cityscape since 2007.

"1(J: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Michael J. O'Brien,Presiding Judge
Nadine Robinson, Court Manager
RE: 15th Annual Report from Tigard Municipal Court
DATE: February 18,2014
We appreciate the opportunity to meet with Council and the City Manager for our 15th annual
review of Tigard Municipal Court(TMC) operations and policies. In addition to information about last
year's caseload and court activities,this year's report will address current policies on traffic diversion
programs and possible alternatives for expanding diversion options to accommodate the Distracted Driving
Program proposed by the Tigard Police Department('[PD).The information on the court's caseload is
based on data from calendar year(C V) 2013 and previous calendar years. As always,we welcome your
questions and comments.
1. Court goals and judicial philosophy: When complaints are filed with the court by TPD or
Code Enforcement officers, the court's first objective is to provide an impartial forum for adjudication in a
fair,professional and efficient manner,consistently applying relevant statutes and ordinances.Where an
offense has been committed,the court strives to: 1) Enter appropriate sanctions in order to deter
subsequent offenses, taking into account individual circumstances to the extent allowed by law and
workload constraints;and,2) Provide education about public safety,relevant statutes and the legal process.
As discussed in detail below,TMC and many other Oregon courts have traditionally maintained diversion
programs to educate defendants convicted of specified traffic violations. These programs generally allow
citations to be dismissed upon completion of all requirements,with no record of a conviction transmitted to
DMV.
2. Overview of court operations:The court's caseload continues to focus heavily on traffic
violations,primarily"moving"violations,license and insurance offenses and a variety of equipment
violations arising under the Oregon Revised Statutes. The court also adjudicates a relatively small number of
civil infractions cited under the Tigard Municipal Code, some adult misdemeanors and a limited number of
juvenile misdemeanors and status offenses referred by the Tigard Peer Court. In 2013,7°lo of all defendants
in traffic cases were given the opportunity to participate in diversion programs.
3. Diversion policies: Oregon law confers broad authority on judges to resolve cases,including
specific statutory authority under ORS 135.755 to dismiss a case"in furtherance of justice."The court's
policy towards diversions is one component of the city's interactions with citizens,and the court is therefore
seeking the assistance of Council in evaluating its programs and their contribution to enhancing public
safety in Tigard. Depending on the city's broad goals,diversion programs can be expanded or left in their
present limited form. If the Council would like to pursue expansion,as outlined below,the court can return
with a more detailed review of the available options.
Many defendants,aware of programs in other states or other Oregon courts,request"traffic school"
or"diversion"at arraignment in order to prevent a conviction from appearing on their driving records.
Under current criteria (described below),however,the request is usually denied and the vast majority of
TMC convictions are forwarded to DMV.A court offer of diversion is rarely declined by a defendant.
The principal polig grounds for limiting diversions are:
• Complete driving histories are useful to courts in determining future sanctions and,potentially,to
auto insurance companies in setting rates.
• Diversions "mask"convictions so they become,in effect,invisible to DMV's Driver
Improvement Program (DIP) and to judges in other courts. The DIP program restricts or
suspends the driving privileges of those who receive multiple violations over an 18- to 24-
month period. "Masking"convictions through multiple diversions could undermine the
DIP's impact and prevent other courts from having access to a defendant's full driving
history.
• By statute,participation in traffic diversion programs is not noted on DMV driving records,unlike
diversions for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants.Defendants,in the worst case,
could have multiple"invisible" convictions that do not appear on the DMV record after
participation in one or more diversion programs in various courts. This risk could be
mitigated by requiring defendants to sign declarations that they have not participated in
other diversion programs during the applicable eligibility period.
The primary advantages of expanding diversion programs may he summarized as follows:
• Traffic schools like Legacy's Trauma Nurses Talk Tough are designed to educate drivers about safe
driving and relevant laws that highway users are expected to obey,enhancing public safety and
reducing recidivism. TPD's proposed Distracted Driver program is intended to educate
drivers who may be unaware of the effects of cellphone use and texting on their ability to
concentrate on driving.
• The court's existing diversion programs are designed to be revenue-neutral. Eligible defendants
pay a fee to the court equal to the fine they would otherwise pay,along with a fee for the
class they will attend. If a defendant fails to successfully complete the class,the fee will be
converted into a fine and conviction is forwarded to DMV.
• Diversion fees could be restructured by resolution to enhance general-fund revenues.
• Some drivers who might otherwise plead"not guilty"may choose diversion instead, relieving
pressure on the court's trial dockets.
4. Existing diversion programs in the TMC:As noted in previous annual reports,current
programs are designed for three groups of offenders: teenage drivers (18 and under),seniors over 59 and
drivers cited for seatbelt violations. Classes specifically designed for teens may offset some of the effects of
inexperience,while classes for seniors can increase awareness of the effects of aging.To be eligible,
defendants must appear personally in court and have clear records for the last five years.The program
requirements include payment of a fee equal to the minimum fine and attendance at a traffic school assigned
by the court within 90 days.Once all requirements are fulfilled,the citation will be dismissed and a
conviction will not appear on the DMV driving record.
2
When implemented,TPD's Distracted Driver program would expand the court's diversion options
to include violations involving Mobile Communications Devices (MCD's) and other cases in which driver
distraction was a component.As proposed by TPD,eligibility standards would be relaxed to allow
enrollment by drivers with a clear driving record for the previous two years.
Some neighboring jurisdictions, following criteria similar to the California courts,have adopted
much more expansive diversion programs than the TMC's.The Beaverton Municipal Court, for example,
offers diversion for most minor traffic violations,with a two-year eligibility period for all adults and teens.
Its new Distracted Driver program has even fewer restrictions on eligibility: defendants pay a fee equal to
their fine and must complete a class within 60 days.The Sherwood and Tualatin municipal courts have a
similar program,with a five-year"lookback" for a clear driving record. High percentages of eligible
defendants elect to take part in these programs.
5. Fiscal considerations in diversions: Oregon courts are required by statute to pay an
assessment or"replacement fine"of$61 from all fines collected for each traffic violation.That sum
apparently represents the state's estimate of the cost of services provided to cities by state and local agencies
such as DMV and the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. Currently,the TMC remits the
assessment even when defendants are referred to,and successfully complete,diversion.
Many city councils have directed,by resolution,that the$61 assessment be retained in their general
funds as a diversion fee since state and local agencies do not provide any direct services in such cases. If
Council is interested in exploring this possibility,we can do additional research and provide further details
upon request.
6. TMC caseload during CY 2013:After the second-busiest year in the court's history,last year's
caseload declined by 21.1% (Table 1).The total number of filings was 8.4%below the six-year average for
the 2008-13 period.Despite this reduction,TMC remains among the most active of approximately 150
municipal courts in Oregon.
Table 1 - Annual Court
Caseloads CV 2008-13
2013 7,180
2012 9,105
2011 8,349
2010 7,028
2009 9,165
2008 6,229
Table 1 reflects all traffic,parking,civil infraction and misdemeanor cases filed with the court during
each year.As in the recent past,our 7,135 traffic and parking violations accounted for nearly the entire 2013
caseload. Trials were scheduled in 9%of these cases. Quarterly fluctuations during the year ranged from a
3
high of 2,070 in the 2nd Quarter to 1,568 in the 3`d. Our monthly total for June 2013 (867 violations) was the
third highest in recent years.
7. Disposition of cases:While our caseload averages about 600 per month,97%of all filings are
disposed of by judgments,acquittals or dismissals within 90 days. The cases were resolved as follows:
Guilty by judge: 2,785
Guilty by clerk: 2,354
Guilty by default: 841
Deferred/diversion: 532
Acquitted or dismissed: 482
Pending: 143
Other: 43
8. Categories of cases (Table 2): As in past years,the most common categories of traffic
violations filed during 2013 were Speeding(43%) and Failure to Obey traffic control devices (12%). The
court also received high numbers of citations for Mobile Communications Devices (8%of traffic caseload)
and Following Too Closely (4%).
Table 2
Violation
types 2013
Tr a is control 860
Followin viol 307
In addition,345 insurance-related citations were filed,along with 448 citations for license-related
violations. Defendants who show proof of insurance prior to or at arraignment may be eligible for dismissal
by the judge or the TMC Violations Bureau under state statute.Defendants who show proof of compliance
with insurance or licensing requirements can benefit from substantial reductions in fines.
9. Public Information: The court continues to give very high priority to providing information in
person,in print and online about Oregon law,court operations and public safety.Approximately 80 of the
judge's monthly"Rules of the Road"columns have appeared in Cityscape since 2007.
10. Budget highlights: The court imposed$1,117,181 in fines and fees during 2013,compared to
$1,467,304 the previous year,a 23.9%decrease.The court remitted$358,205 in statutory assessments to
state and local agencies during 2013.
11. Technology enhancements:The court received 1,866 online payments last year,generating
revenues of$164,703.The number of electronic citations (5,488 in 2013) filed with the court continues to
increase,facilitating data transfers and court processing.With all motorcycle officers and police vehicles
now equipped with video cameras,video evidence is commonly offered during trials.
4
9. Other activities in 2013: The court has hired a clerk to fill a vacant position.The judge and
court manager attended ODOT's annual Judicial Education Conference in March.
In closing,we wish to again express our deep appreciation of our court staff for their dedication,
hard work and professionalism: Chris Snodgrass,Brenda Annis and Morgan McFadden.
Please let us know if you would like any additional information. Thank you again for your time and
interest.

ISSUE
The State of Oregon is accepting applications in a competitive round for up to four new enterprise
zones. Tigard may compete for one of these spots. Applications are due in early April. An enterprise
zone is a geographically targeted 3-5 year local property tax abatement program that encourages
investment and increased employment for traded sector companies.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION /ACTION REQUEST
Briefing to council on the State of Oregon's enterprise zone program as it applies to the City of
Tigard. Presentation will include a question and answer session. This is an opportunity for council to
provide input on the geographic area of the zone and seek clarifications regarding the creation of a
Tigard based zone. Should the city decide to move forward with an enterprise zone, the council will
need to pass a formal resolution defining the zone at the March 25th council meeting- in order to
meet the state mandated process and deadline.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
Inside a geographically targeted enterprise zone, qualified businesses may be exempted from the local
property tax liability on new capital investments for at least three years, and up to five years. An
enterprise zone terminates 10-11 years after its original designation, or sooner if decided by the city.
According to state law,not all business may benefit from an enterprise zone. Ineligible businesses
include: tourism,retail food service, entertainment, childcare, financial services,property
management,housing or construction, retail sales or goods or services, health care, and professional
services. The program was created by the state to support traded-sector businesses that produce
goods and services locally, but compete in the marketplace outside the locality.
Within an enterprise zone, a 3-5 year tax abatement can only be applied to a new building/structure,
structural modifications or additions,or newly installed machinery and equipment. Land,previously
used property, and miscellaneous personal items do not qualify. All property needs to be new,
meaning it was not used or occupied in the zone more than one year before exemption begins. Land,
vehicles,motorized/self-propelled devices,rolling stock,non-inventory supplies, and idle or
ineligibly used property do not qualify.
Since 1986,municipalities, counties and ports have used a 3-5 year abatement on local property taxes
on new plants and equipment to help encourage the growth of existing businesses through new
investment and increased employment in targeted areas. To be eligible for a tax exemption on new
facilities and equipment, a company is required to increase employment by at least 10 percent (or one
job if fewer than 10 employees) for the duration of the property exemption.
An enterprise zone does not alter land use zoning. An enterprise zone works with current zoning to
influence long-term industrial and some forms of commercial development. For Tigard to qualify to
have an enterprise zone, an area defined by the city must meet minimum thresholds of economic
need. Within an area defined as a potential zone, households must have incomes below 80 percent of
the median income of this region, and/or the unemployment rate must be at least 2 percentage points
greater than the comparable unemployment rate. Other economic hardship factors for consideration
include poverty incidence and population decline.
Besides a tax abatement that encourages private investment and increased employment in targeted
parts of the city, an enterprise zone lends visibility and focus to local economic development efforts.
Only 8 zones currently exist in the Portland Metro region. The State of Oregon presently contains 64
enterprise zones in urban and rural settings.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
One alternative is to operate without an enterprise zone - as the status quo. A second variation is to
partner with a community that has an existing enterprise zone (like Beaverton) and is willing to
expand to include a district in Tigard. The second alternative affects zone administration. It would
also follow a different path and time line to completion.
