AGENDA ITEM #2: Approve Minutes Motion by Commissioner Thornburg, seconded by Commissioner Shearer, to approve the February minutes. The motion passed unanimously. AGENDA ITEM #3: Commissioner check-in The Commissioners shared personal and business news with the rest of the Commissioners. It was noted that there may be a new glass blowing shop going into the Crown Carpets store on Main Street. Also, on April 21�'% there will be a grand opening celebration for The Knoll at Tigard. A flyer for the event�x-ill be included in the April packet. AGENDA ITEM #4: CCAC/CCDA Meeting Planning Debrief The Commissioners discussed the joint meeting with the CCDA on February 15th. Items of note: CC,1C Meeting Minutes for March 9, 2011 Page 1 of 5 • There was a sense of more involvement between the CCDA and the CCAC. • Two important items related to urban renewal seem to be the plaza and getting some kind of grocery store in the Downtown. • There was a heavy emphasis on the Dick Singer memo as a guideline for what to look at next. • We need to start finding funding sources to make low interest loans available. AGENDA ITEM #5: CCAC 2011 Goals For the proposed 2011 goals (Exhibit A), it was decided to delete the words Phase 1 under the Main Street/Green Street project (Lad). Motion by Commissioner Louw, seconded by Commissioner Pao, to accept the goals with the noted change. The motion passed unanimously. Sean reviewed the first quarter goal update with the Commissioners (Exhibit B): • The Main Street/Green Street open house will be held March 30th in the Library Community Room. The 30% design check-in will be done at the open house. • The Development Opportunity Study for the Russ Auto property is for the lower lot. • Powell Paint on Main Street may be interested in doing a facade improvement. • Commissioners were invited to attend the Planning Commission workshop on March 21st— they will receive an update on the Circulation Plan. • Public Works is starting a feasibility study for the.Ash Avenue railroad crossing. The Commissioners reviewed the CCAC calendar for 2011 (Exhibit C): • Economic Development is a priority (along with the Michelle Reeves'work). Commissioners Louw and Thornburg will be the CCAC liaisons for Michelle's meetings. • The open space/plaza site is another priority. • Commissioner Hughes and Vice Chair Shearer serve as CCAC liaisons on the Facade Improvement subcommittee. • Sean will check to see if tarps on rooftops are a code violation. • Hopefully, we will have something from Public Works on the Ash Ave. railroad crossing by June. • For High Capacity Transit, Vice Chair Shearer will be the liaison. There is a design workshop scheduled for May 25th. • Maybe Commissioner Barkley would consider being the liaison for the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Sean will check on their meeting nights. • We should publicize everything that's been done in the Urban Renewal District over the last 5 years. Sean noted that Leland will be doing an update on their strategy (we might interact the 5 year report with that update). Vice Chair Shearer will email Commissioners Barkley CCAC Meeting Minutes for March 9,2011 Page 2 of 5 and Ellis Gaut to see if they're interested in working on the report. Councilor Henderson volunteered to help. • We should be aware of how Urban Renewal fits in the big picture of the budget forecast. Commissioner Pao will be the informal liaison to the Budget Committee. • We need to make sure the Downtown parking lot is completed before the Main Street construction begins. • Vice Chair Shearer would like to pursue working with Tth\let to see if we can use the WES parking lot on the weekends and bring the Farmers' Market into the Downtown. AGENDA ITEM #6: FY 2011-12 City Center Development Agency Budget Proposal Sean went over the proposed CCDA budget (Exhibit D) with the Commissioners. • If we need to access contingency funds, the proposal is to use private bank financing (similar to a line of credit). This would be a step to eventually floating a bond. • The Downtown gateways will be consistent with the conceptual recommendations in the Streetscape Plan. • Commissioner Louw suggested having space on the gateways to list generic Downtown amenities (e.g., dining, lodging, theatre, etc.). • At the April meeting, Sean will advise the Commissioners about the gateway design process and timeline. AGENDA ITEM #7: Hall Blvd. / Pacific Highway Gateway Sean advised that the Council/CCDA had different ideas for the Hall Blvd./Pacific Highwav gateway feature other than what the CCAC had recommended (Vice Chair Shearer's notes from the study session are attached as Exhibit E). • They like the idea of mounding the ground and having a vertical element, such as a fountain that could be lighted at night. They also want to have a higher monument wall. • At the very least, Sean said we need to put up some fencing. • The property will come under the City's control in May. • In the short term, we could use the interim gateway plan that was done by the on-retainer landscape architect and maybe add a vertical monument or a piece of public art. • We could temporarily populate the site with an art fence and some low landscaping. AGENDA ITEM #8: Planning Commission workshop on Economic Development CCAC Meeting Minutes for March 9,2011 Page 3 of 5 Commissioner Hughes reported on the Economic Development workshop. He is not sure how the information applies to Tigard. During the workshop, one Planning Commissioner stated he was not aware that there is a vision for the Downtown. • Vice Chair Shearer noted that Tigard has a 2.5 job base per household, which is higher than the regional average. However, the majority of Tigard's working force leave the City to go to their jobs and most of the people who work in Tigard live outside of the City. Approximately 100,000 people visit Tigard on a daily basis. • Sheila Martin talked about clusters and asked how we can encourage Tigard businesses to support big businesses outside the City. • The Economic Opportunities Analysis is on the City's website (Sean will send the link to the Commissioners). • Sheila Martin commented that Tigard. needs to capitalize on its strengths in the regional economy. She also talked about community attitudes toward risk— the correlation between entrepreneurship and the ability to fail. • Sean noted that our economy is well-diversified which helped us to get a higher bond rating. • We need to explore what we want our "vibe" to be —how Tigard relates to the outlying area. • Vice Chair Shearer suggested getting all the Commissions together once a year to discuss things that affect the Urban Renewal District. AGENDA ITEM #9: Downtown Open/Public Space The Commissioners reviewed the criteria list for a plaza location from the Park and Plaza Master Plan (Exhibit F). The Commissioners agreed on the following: • The Plaza does not have to be adjacent to Fanno Creek Park. • Parking needs to be considered, along with multi-modal transportation access. • We want it to be a public gathering place for events, to create a sense of community, and be close to Main Street, Fanno Creek Park, and the heart of Downtown. • It should be a small concert venue for people to sit in the grass. • Perhaps a professional could help us find a site. We have a Request for Proposal going out for park acquisition and program development (Sean will send out the link for the RFP). • The Commissioners will have face time with the PRAB next month. AGENDA ITEM #10: Downtown Marketing Strategy Commissioner Thornburg reported on the latest meeting with Michelle Reeves. • Michelle stressed the need to have events. • There needs to be a dialogue at street level wTith all the stakeholders in the Downtown. CCAC Meeting Minutes for March 9,2011 Page 4 of 5 3 • The Downtown should be connected and walkable-with no big blank spots (no vacancies/empty windows). • Tigard's theme needs to be told in art or story form. • There needs to be a place to hold events with available parking. Eventually, those events need to be held in the heart of Downtown in a plaza-type setting. • We need to have destination businesses. • Revitalization does not have to begin with new building—you can rehabilitate existing buildings. In Downtown Tigard, residential buildings will require new construction. • The Downtown social for Main Street businesses was a success. Chair Murphy Aill send a thank you card to Marvin Bowen for hosting the event. AGENDA ITEM #11: Other Business • The next 3 meetings will be held in the 2nd floor conference room at the Library. • Because there is much work to be done, including liaising with other boards and committees, Chair Murphy suggested amending the by-laws to increase the number of voting Commissioners to 11. • Broadway Rose is having their annual fundraiser on April 5th.

Downtown Gateways - $90,000 Gateways demark entrances to the Downtown and create an identity for the District. One gateway was installed at the intersection of Burnham and Hall and another is planned for the intersection of Hall and Pacific Hwy. This project would fund the design and construction of two additional gateway walls at the northern and southern entrances of Main Street and Pacific Highway. The construction will be coordinated with the Main Street Green Street project. Storefront Improvement Program-$75,000 ¢ The program has awarded three matching grants for a total of$39,195 (one completed, two in progress) to property owners. Five additional property/business owners have received architectural design assistance (one owner used a suggested design for a sign without requesting a grant). This project includes up to $22,500 available for architectural design assistance and$52,500 available for matching grants. Development Opportunity Studies and Real Estate Consulting- $60,000 This project consists of funding professional services (in real estate development and economics,architecture, and other needed specialists) to foster the opportunities for the redevelopment and/or renovation of properties.A major program will be development opportunity studies to provide business and property owners the technical assistance and resources to assess the feasibility of redeveloping properties in the urban renewal district. Eligible pre-development activities include architectural,planning, and engineering studies, and real estate market and financial analysis. The goal is to increase the tax increment revenues in the urban renewal district. Downtown Marketing Implementation- $50,000 The Agency has engaged the services of a consultant to work with Downtown business and property owners and other stakeholders to develop a marketing strategy for Main Street/Downtown. While the consultant's final recommendations are not due until June, this proposed technical assistance project would pay for consultant services to implement the recommendations, and funds for marketing and promotional materials. Total Budgeted Projects: $375,000 Contingency Fund: Funds for opportunities for land purchase and associated (including relocation) costs Agenda Item#G and developer incentives will be accessed with a private bank loan. Vh 1,1 ;-.t --- -e7 February 22, 2011 Notes on City of Tigard Council/CCDA Study Session (Elise Shearer representing CCAC in Tom Murphy's place) RE: Agenda Item A— Discussion of Downtown Gateway Feature at Hall/99 Intersection Staff Sean Farrelly presented to City Council/CCDA the recommendation from CCAC to spend money only on a permanent option, with an entryway stone monument, trees and fence screening, and that CCAC had expressed reluctance to spend money on an interim feature to be replaced later. He asked that CCDA give staff more guidance on whether they would prefer an interim or permanent installation. (Please read the comments following.) Councilor Buehner: Expressed concern that people hiding behind trees could cause a security issue. She preferred screening with a lower hedge type landscape. She would like the comments from the original Streetscape Design Committee as she recollected something was to be installed on both sides of Highway 99. Councilor Wilson: Commented the low entry monument would not be visible across the highway due to being blocked visually by passing vehicles. He preferred no trees as well, with some type of hedge as screening; perhaps a raised, grassy, knoll with a more elevated vertical monument and possible art on display. Councilor Woodard: Agreed with the other two councilors and would like to see an art installation with a possible historical monument. Elise Shearer: Councilor Buehner asked if 1 had the original notes from the Streetscape Design Committee and I did not. My comments were recollections of earlier talks of a possible arch over the highway, which ODOT would not allow; progressing to elements on both sides of the highway. I recalled earlier conversations of tall vertical elements and definitely a water fountain/feature. I provided the comment that perhaps the Fagade Improvement Program could be extended to those businesses on that corner. Mayor Dirksen: Recalled conversations of a fountain feature with an opening through to the "downtown" area, due to prior talk of an urban creek and future redevelopment of that corner. Commented on CCDA opinions being as varied as the options available and they would need to study it further. Summary: Comment seems to lean toward more of a screening hedge without trees and more vertical elements of a water feature and possible elevated art display. Agenda Item #9 Criteria for Plaza Location from Fanno Creek Park and Plaza Master Plan: Connection to Fanno Creek Park Adjacent property redevelopment potential Plaza developable in 5-10 year timeframe Proximity to Main Street or existing/future commercial businesses Number of community edges (roadways) Visibility (location is clear) Additional potential criteria: Usable size of property Improvement to Land Value Ratio Real market value Distance from Main Street Site would allow some compatibility with previous plaza design plan Other?

The report includes a financial summary of the preceding year and the budget for the new fiscal year. It also includes an analysis of the financial impact of carrying out the urban plan on the tax collections for all taxing districts. Urban Renewal — An Overview The purpose of urban renewal is to improve specific areas of a community that are poorly developed, under-utilized,or that have declined over time.These areas can have old,deteriorated buildings; streets and utilities in serious need of upgrades (or the areas can simply lack streets and utilities altogether), weak business activity,and few or aging parks and public facilities. Urban renewal is a process authorized by Oregon law(ORS 457) to finance improvements in these areas using"tax increment financing."A portion (the increment) of property tax revenues from properties within the urban renewal district are designated to support financing for improvements to the urban renewal area.While urban renewal provides for unique funding of improvements to a district,it is not intended that tax increment financing be the only source of funding. Other sources including ones typically used for capital improvements such as the gas tax,Traffic Impact Fee (TIF), System Development Charges (SDC),inter-agency funding, or state grants are programmed to support downtown projects. For a city government to utilize urban renewal as a funding mechanism,it must establish an urban renewal agency,and it must adopt an urban renewal plan.The Tigard City Council approved the City Center Urban Renewal Plan for Downtown in December of 2005.In May 2006,a special ballot measure was passed by the voters,authorizing the use of tax increment financing(urban renewal) in downtown. Urban Renewal Finance — A Summary Urban renewal is a process authorized by Oregon law to finance improvements in those neighborhoods and districts that need special attention and revitalization. Once a district is established, the tax valuation for the district is "frozen."As properties appreciate in value, the increase in taxes (the "increment") generated above the frozen base are used to pay for debt on specific projects within the urban renewal plan. These tax increments are used to repay municipal bonds. Bond proceeds are used to finance improvements that will revitalize the district. New taxes are not imposed to fund urban renewal. Bonds and tax increment financing will be used to fund projects in the urban renewal plan. Under this system, the increment portion of property taxes generated within the urban renewal area is temporarily shifted to repay the bonds used to finance projects in the City Center. 3 Tigard City Center Urban Renewal District Is h IIC ■ ■ ti ■ SIMON ■te a' ^ ,�� 4 Urbanmin City Center , District Woo Tigard, 1 ' 4 Tigard City Center Development Agency Financial Impact Report of the City's Urban Renewal Plan For the fiscal impact year ended June 30,2010 1 CCDA Under tax increment financing,when the value of a property within the urban renewal district increases,the proceeds from property taxes on the increased value (the"tax increment")go to the urban renewal district. These proceeds fund further urban renewal projects, either directly or by providing for the repayment of municipal bonds that fund improvements.The tax increment is unique as a source of funding,because it is usable only for projects identified in the urban renewal plan. How Does Urban Renewal Affect Taxes? With urban renewal and the use of tax increment financing, there is no net change on Tigard property tax bills. New property taxes are not created as a result of urban renewal. Under today's Oregon law,property tax rates are fixed. Tigard's City Center Urban Renewal Plan also does not authorize any"local option" tax levies or special assessments. Tax revenues are generated from the increase in property values multiplied by current tax rates. These revenues pay for urban renewal under Oregon law. History of Tax Increment Financing In less than two decades, three Ballot Measures—Measure 5 (1990), and Measure 50 (1997) —have made significant changes to Oregon's system of property taxation.Those changes have influenced urban renewal programs and tax increment revenue calculations. The provisions of these changes to the property tax system,Ballot Measures 5 and 50,now are incorporated into Oregon's Constitution, and into Oregon Urban Renewal Statutes. Those provisions provide the basic framework for revenue calculations in this report. Tax Increment Calculations To determine the amount of the taxes levied, the total assessed value within each urban renewal area is segregated by the County Assessor into two parts: (a) the total taxable assessed value in the district at the time the Urban Renewal Plan was adopted (the base or "frozen" value); and (b) the difference between the frozen base value and the current total assessed value (the incremental value or "excess"). Revenues derived from the application of the tax rate for each affected taxing district to the amount of the incremental value may be collected by the urban renewal agency and deposited in its debt service fund. This revenue is used to repay indebtedness incurred in carrying out the projects. Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan — Purpose The stated purpose of the City Center Urban Renewal Plan is to provide improvements in the downtown area so that it will be economically healthy while maintaining its "uniquely Tigard" character. The establishment of the Urban Renewal district provides a funding mechanism for projects in downtown Tigard. For more information,you may review the City Center Urban 5 Tigard City Center Development Agency CCDA I Financial Impact Report of the City's Urban Renewal Plan For the fiscal impact year ended June 30,2010 Renewal Plan and the Report Accompanying the City Center Urban Renewal Plan on line at: www.tigard-or.gov/downtown/urban_renewal/about/docs/urban_renewal_plan.pdf or request a copy from the City of Tigard. How was the Urban Renewal Plan developed? In late 2005, the same citizen-business-City partnership that worked on the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan collaborated to find financing for the "catalyst"projects identified in the Downtown Improvement Plan. Urban renewal and tax increment financing was identified as a potential source of financing and an urban renewal plan was prepared. The voter-approved Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan provides the special financing for the public improvement projects identified in the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan. What are Tigard's Specific Plans for Urban Renewal? Under Oregon law,urban renewal can provide special funding for a wide variety of projects and programs. Tigard's approved City Center Urban Renewal Plan authorizes funding for up to 35 different projects in the City Center over twenty years. Most of the proposed projects in Tigard's plan are for public improvements and facilities, although some assistance for private businesses and property owners is provided. The intent of the projects such as new streets,parks,plazas,is to stimulate new investment in Downtown and create a vibrant,new Town Center with public spaces that the community can use.As property values rise in the downtown urban renewal district, the increase in tax revenues generated supports the payment of bonds used to improve the area. Over time,it is expected that the value of property and taxes generated will be higher through the use of urban renewal than if left alone. The Tigard City Council,working closely with dozens of citizens (and after numerous hearings and meetings) included the following categories of projects in the urban renewal plan: Street Improvements, Streetscape Improvements, Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities,Parks,Public Spaces, Public Facilities,Planning and Development Assistance (for privately owned properties). Effect of Urban Renewal on Taxing Districts Carrying out an urban renewal plan has an effect on the County Assessor's calculation for each taxing district that shares values with Tigard's urban renewal agency. Some property taxes that may have been received by the taxing bodies that levy property taxes within Tigard's urban renewal area are being paid to Tigard's urban renewal agency. Passage of Ballot Measure 50 (Article XI, Section 11 of the Oregon Constitution) resulted in converting most property taxes from a levy-based system to a rate-based system. Page 8 of this report shows the financial impact by taxing district for Tigard's urban renewal agency. 6 Tigard City Center Development Agency Financial Impact Report of the City's Urban Renewal Plan For the fiscal impact year ended June 30,2010 1 CCDA Financial Reports The financial reports on page 7 and 8 below account for the activities of Tigard's urban renewal agency. In accordance with ORS 457.460 (1), these reports were prepared by the Finance Department of the City of Tigard using the same basis of accounting it uses to prepare its financial statements-modified accrual basis of accounting. These reports are due annually by January 31, so the information and figures contained herein are based upon audited financial statements. At the end of each fiscal year,June 30, this financial impact report is prepared which shows the urban renewal tax impact by taxing district. Copies are available by January 31 at the Tigard Permit Center, 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard, 97223. Statement of Resources and Requirements As summarized below, City Center Development Agency's 2009-10 total requirements were $72,613 for expenditures charged to the District as of June 30,2010. For fiscal year 2010-11,total budgeted resources were balanced with requirements of $1,125,318. The District uses the funds it receives from the division-of-taxes method of calculating property taxes to finance various urban renewal projects and activities. These property taxes totaled $255,601 in FY 2009-10 and are expected to increase to $339,379 in FY 2010-11 per the Washington County assessment summary received after budget adoption.

As a companion project to the Main Street project, the lot will provide additional parking options and flexibility in managing parking in the downtown. • Parking Management Assistance-$5,000 This project would fund a consultant to assist in the development of a Downtown parking management plan. • Wayfinding Implementation-$15,000 The City has obtained a Metro grant to fund a wayfinding plan and walking map. This project would pay for the design and installation of signage,including directional signage to public parking that would be installed in conjunction with Main Street Green Street streetscape improvements. Downtown Gateways - $90,000 Gateways demark entrances to the Downtown and create an identity for the District. One gateway was installed at the intersection of Burnham and Hall and another is planned for the intersection of Hall and Pacific Hwy. This project would fund the design and construction of two additional gateway walls at the northern and southern entrances of Main Street and Pacific Highway. The construction will be coordinated with the Main Street Green Street project. Storefront Improvement Program-$75,000 The program has awarded three matching grants for a total of$39,195 (one completed, two in progress) to property owners. Five additional property/business owners have received architectural design assistance (one owner used a suggested design for a sign without requesting a grant). This project includes up to $22,500 available for architectural design assistance and $52,500 available for matching grants. Development Opportunity Studies and Real Estate Consulting- $60,000 This project consists of funding professional services (in real estate development and economics, architecture, and other needed specialists) to foster the opportunities for the redevelopment and/or renovation of properties.A major program will be development opportunity studies to provide business and property owners the technical assistance and resources to assess the feasibility of redeveloping properties in the urban renewal district. Eligible pre-development activities include architectural,planning, and engineering studies, and real estate market and financial analysis. The goal is to increase the tax increment revenues in the urban renewal district. Downtown Marketing Implementation- $50,000 The Agency has engaged the services of a consultant to work with Downtown business and property owners and other stakeholders to develop a marketing strategy for Main Street/Downtown.While the consultant's final recommendations are not due until June,this proposed technical assistance project would pay for consultant services to implement the recommendations, and funds for marketing and promotional materials. Total Budgeted Projects: $375,000 Contingency Fund: Funds for opportunities for land purchase and associated (including relocation) costs Agenda Item#6 and developer incentives will be accessed with a private bank loan. Exhibit E February 22, 2011 Notes on City of Tigard Council/CCDA Study Session (Elise Shearer representing CCAC in Tom Murphy's place) RE: Agenda Item A — Discussion of Downtown Gateway Feature at Hall/99 Intersection Staff Sean Farrelly presented to City Council/CCDA the recommendation from CCAC to spend money only on a permanent option, with an entryway stone monument, trees and fence screening, and that CCAC had expressed reluctance to spend money on an interim feature to be replaced later. He asked that CCDA give staff more guidance on whether they would prefer an interim or permanent installation. (Please read the comments following.) Councilor Buehner: Expressed concern that people hiding behind trees could cause a security issue. She preferred screening with a lower hedge type landscape. She would like the comments from the original Streetscape Design Committee as she recollected something was to be installed on both sides of Highway 99. Councilor Wilson: Commented the low entry monument would not be visible across the highway due to being blocked visually by passing vehicles. He preferred no trees as well, with some type of hedge as screening; perhaps a raised, grassy, knoll with a more elevated vertical monument and possible art on display. Councilor Woodard: Agreed with the other two councilors and would like to see an art installation with a possible historical monument. Elise Shearer: Councilor Buehner asked if I had the original notes from the Streetscape Design Committee and I did not. My comments were recollections of earlier talks of a possible arch over the highway, which ODOT would not allow; progressing to elements on both sides of the highway. I recalled earlier conversations of tall vertical elements and definitely a water fountain/feature. I provided the comment that perhaps the Facade Improvement Program could be extended to those businesses on that corner. Mayor Dirksen: Recalled conversations of a fountain feature with an opening through to the "downtown" area, due to prior talk of an urban creek and future redevelopment of that corner. Commented on CCDA opinions being as varied as the options available and they would need to study it further. Summary: Comment seems to lean toward more of a screening hedge without trees and more vertical elements of a water feature and possible elevated art display. Agenda Item #9 Criteria for Plaza Location from Fanno Creek Park and Plaza Master Plan: Connection to Fanno Creek Park Adjacent property redevelopment potential Plaza developable in 5-10 year timeframe Proximity to Main Street or existing/future commercial businesses Number of community edges (roadways) Visibility (location is clear) Additional potential criteria: Usable size of property Improvement to Land Value Ratio Real market value Distance from Main Street Site would allow some compatibility with previous plaza design plan Other?
