AGENDA ITEM #1: Welcome and Introductions
Chair Thomas Murphy opened the meeting. Introductions were made.
AGENDA ITEM#2: Tour of the Knoll at Tigard Facility
Ben White with Carleton Hart Architecture made some introductory comments before leading the
group on a tour. He called attention to the sustainability features built into the project. The Knoll is
a project designed for limited income seniors age 55 and older and is an active living community. A
goal was to exceed basic accessibility and mobility features throughout the building for tenants to
age in place or if they become temporarily disabled, the design wouldn't be an issue.
Rainwater harvesting is a big feature of this project. The entire north wing has a metal roof that
collects the rainwater into downspouts to a below-grade cistern in the parking lot that has a 15,000
gallon capacity. The water then moves on to a 5,000 gallon tank used to flush all of the unit toilets.
Carleton Hart Architecture sees the Knoll project as a catalyst,introducing sustainable features and
transit oriented development into Tigard, and a new node for development. Nodes promote
community and resident interaction and services exchange.
CCAC Meeting Minutes for May 11,2011 Page 1 of 7
A Commissioner commented that we are trying to facilitate more sustainable development and that
developers will be looking at payback for implementing such features. Are there hard numbers
available on this?
Mr. White replied that those numbers will be collected as the building comes on line. Cistern from
rainwater collection will provide 100% of toilet flushing water in rainy months, about 50/50 in the
summer. (using water collected during the winter).
Counselor Henderson asked about the heating system for the units. Mr. White indicated that each
unit has a through-wall heat pump. It's more economical than forced air and can be controlled
individually.
Mr. White then led the Commission on a tour of the building.
AGENDA ITEM #3: Approve April Minutes
Motion by Commissioner Barkley to make one change to the minutes. Agenda Item #2 (Approve
March Minutes), Commissioner Barkley abstained.
Motion by Commissioner Louw, seconded by Vice Chair Shearer, to approve the April minutes.
The motion passed. Commissioners Ellis Gaut and Craghead abstained.
AGENDA ITEM#4; Downtown Tigard Marketing Website
Chair Murphy introduced David Dahle. Mfr. Dahle described the DowntownTigard.com website
for marketing the Downtown Tigard area to the community and to visitors.
A Commissioner asked if his website was linked to the city's website. Mr. Dahle replied it wasn't
yet, but will be. He also wants to provide a link for the CCAC to communicate with the downtown
business owners and perhaps post CCAC meeting agendas on his website.
A Commissioner asked if there would be a link to real estate marketing in the area. Mr. Dahle said
that they are collaborating with a realtor that indicated there is interest in businesses leasing
downtown Tigard real estate at this time. Mr. Dahle indicated that the brick building on the corner
of Burnham and Main has been leased as of last week.
Mr. Dahle said that we need to give our downtown district regional visibility to Lake Oswego,
Newberg, Sherwood, and Tualatin. Their website also has a Facebook page that they link to and all
of the content gets populated to the social networks. Their website is a good venue to have a "just
visiting porthole" for visitors to be able to see what there is to do in downtown Tigard. They will
also be sending a link to all of the managers of apartments so that when people relocate to Tigard
' there will be a welcome page.
CCAC Fleeting Minutes for May 11,2011 Page 2 of 7
AGENDA ITEM #5: Downtown Marketing Strategy
Sean sent out a link to a video on Metro's website with highlights of the recent field trip to North
Mississippi Avenue with remarks by Councilors Henderson and Woodard. Twenty-six people carne
on the field trip. They talked to developers and business owners on the street.
Discussion followed:
• They were impressed with the business owners and developers that spoke to the group.
• Entertainment is the draw, not only single bar hoppers, but families.
• Mississippi Pizza had a big impact using live music. They were losing money for
approximately a year until the owner brought in live music and turned the business around.
• Live music is very expensive, not always a big profit item. Music attracts more business, but
the overhead costs offset that gain.
• Michelle Reeves has one more session on May 24, 2011 at 4:00-5:30 at the Tigard Chamber
of Commerce. Michelle said the next meeting would be enjoyable and hands-on with small
group discussions. The final work product will be a memo with recommendations.
• Trip to North Mississippi Avenue provided great examples of Michelle's point about using
colors and art to make the area visually interesting.
• Also interesting was the green street water feature. It was suggested that we could
incorporate it into some of our old buildings.
AGENDA ITEM#b: Follow-ups
Main Street Green Street
Sean provided an update requested at the last meeting regarding the removal of some of the raised
pedestrian crossings from the Main Street design. It was asked why all crossings weren't speed
tables. Sean indicated that they are going to put the one back in closest to Fanno Creek Park Trail
which will provide a good connection to the trail by A-Boy, but not on the bridge.
Having all crossings as speed tables was thought to be too many in too short of a distance. Once
paving is complete the crosswalks on Burnham Street also won't be raised.
Sean indicated that in terms of the schedule, all signs point toward summer construction. The goal
is to minimize impacts on businesses. There was concern that summer seems late to get started.
Sean replied that the construction season extends into October.
Commissioner Louw requested that there be changes made on the Main Street Green Street
construction plans, sheet 1A-2 General Construction Notes-Item 4, to notify tenants sooner than
72 hours advance notice before disrupting traffic. He also wants to see Item 7 eliminated about no
construction between certain hours. Sean indicated that this was boilerplate ODOT language and
the city will write the final construction schedule.
CCAC Meeting Minutes for May 11,2011 Page 3 of 7
Commissioner Louw offered to form a subcommittee for the purpose of making the needs of the
downtown business community known as an element of the design process for the Main Street
Green Street. Sean will set up a meeting with construction engineer Kim McMillan and they will
provide a 15 minute report at their June meeting.
Doxwown Open Space
Sean Farrelly gave a follow up pertaining to the handout he provided to the commissioners
containing the PRAB criteria for evaluating properties for purchase (Exhibit A).
• The Plaza is not in the Parks Master Plan.
• PRAB representatives we met in April said they are mindful of what CCAC wants, would
consider an increased amount of money out of the bond fund for a plaza purchase. The
CCAC needs to figure out a space for the plaza soon.
• Consultant for managing park bond acquisitions has not been retained yet.
• It was asked if the CCAC had come to a consensus to use the $1.7 million to purchase a
plaza site. Chair Murphy replied that there has been no formal decision presented for
consideration.
• Motion by Commissioner Craghead, seconded by Commissioner Ellis Gaut, that the first
priority for the ten percent from the parks and open space bond money is acquisition of a
plaza site. The motion passed unanimously.
• Motion by Commissioner Craghead, seconded by Commissioner Ellis Gaut, to consider all
options for a plaza site in addition to the original site. The motion passed unanimously.
• PRAB and CCAC should compare notes to figure out what they want downtown: park,
plaza or facility.
• Is anybody doing anything right now in terms of property availability? Any update on the
status of using the public works property as a park? Sean replied that public works needs a
place to go. There are not a lot of large enough properties available and it's going to cost a
lot of money, but it's in the long term plans.
• A commissioner asked what is standing in the way of picking a plaza site now. Chair
Murphy replied that a consultant will be hired to identify sites for acquisition and he wants
to hear what she/he has to say.
• We do have a matrix of values and qualities we're looking for in a plaza. Consultant will be
on board, hopefully within a month. It was agreed to get some face time with the consultant
the first month before having that person attend a CCAC meeting. Having a consultant
doesn't mean we shouldn't be thinking and looking ourselves, too.
GGDA BudP,
'rhe CCDA budget was approved by the CCDA budget committee. It will be finalized at the June
14, 2011 council meeting. The proposed budget was included in the May packet (Exhibit B).
• In the budget message Craig Prosser mentioned several times in the material that Tigard's
maximum indebtedness is a lot smaller than other communities of similar size and that it was
a conscious decision to be a modestly sized urban renewal district.
CCAC Meeting Minutes for May 11,2011 Page 4 of 7
• If we want to expand the amount of urban renewal,we have to go back to the voters and we
need to be able to show them that we accomplished something before asking for more
money. Other cities around us didn't look all that different after 3 years of urban renewal.
Lake Oswego and Tualatin took twenty years before they saw results.
Domwo;m Open Space
The commissioners were asked to review the draft Cityscape article (Exhibit C) and to e-mail any
comments to Sean by 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. The article is approved as written incorporating the
following:
• Any comments by the commissioners.
• Allow a one month deadline to submit suggestions on park and open space purchases and
improvements in the Downtown.
AGENDA ITEM #7: Downtown Public Art
The commissioners reviewed a handout that Sean provided on the potential process and timeline
for Downtown Public Art (Exhibit D).
• Amateur artists should be considered.
• We trust our committee to have an open process.
• The CCAC contingent on the ad hoc committee is Vice Chair Shearer, Commissioner
Craghead, and Commissioner Ellis Gaut.
• Commissioner Pao shared highlights from a recent visit to San Diego Coronado and the San
Diego botanical garden. Coronado had a downtown public art brochure and the botanical
garden had plaques that provided fascinating details on their public art.
• There is also art for lease and we can talk about rotating exhibits, too.
• We will be looking for a consultant to work with the ad hoc art committee.
• The reference to Downtown business should be "businesses"if we want more than one
business represented.
• Council approval is required to appoint the ad hoc committee. Goal is to go before council
in August.
• This project is being driven by the Main Street Green Street project, that's where the need to
fulfill is. First task is to deliver for the Green Street, and then later throughout Tigard.
• Councilor Henderson shared information about a program that his daughter has at the Mitch
Charter School where they do murals at the school. Costco and Lowes have donated over
$2,000 apiece for the project. It's an interesting partnership where they provide supplies and
they even have their own artists that will help. Cascade Locks also has five different artists
who work with the Port of Cascade Locks.
• Allot ten minutes on the June agenda for further talk about public art.
CCAC Meeting h inutes for May 11,2011 Page 5 of 7
AGENDA ITEM #8: CCAC 5 Year Progress Report
The commission discussed the process and formation of a subcommittee to work on the CCAC
five year progress report.
• Vice Chair Shearer offered to work on this with others. We need to prepare a five year
report and summary and publicize it somehow.
• The Leland Group is working on a five year milestone report of urban renewal. Perhaps we
should start narrower with the review of CCAC activities at five years, maybe dovetail with
what the Leland Group produces. Obvious candidates for this project are Commissioners
Craghead and Barkley.
• The Leland report will be presented in July or August. It's logical to get the Leland work
first, and then have the subcommittee add to it.
• For marketing purposes, this will get the word out to a lot of people who don't know about
urban renewal. It will also provide talking points about what we're getting done and what
we need to get done in the next five years.
• The CCDA is going to want our input before doing anything with the Leland report. We Nvill
wait for the Leland five year report as the starting point for the CCAC's process.
AGENDA ITEM #9: High Capacity Transit (HCI) Land Use Plan Update
Due to the late hour, Sean skipped the HCI"presentation on this item and invited everybody to the
May 2511) HCT design workshop starting at 6:00 p.m. (Exhibit E).
This land use plan is just to identify potential station areas and doesn't get into what kind of HCT it
will be or what specific alignment because that would take about ten years.
AGENDA ITEM #10: Other Business
• Sean gave an update on the potential use of the TriMet commuter rail parking lot. TriMet
didn't say no or yes, rather that it would depend on what we wanted to use it for. They have
a lot of regulations that they have to follow because it was federally funded. It would
probably have to be a non-profit operation or city sponsored use. Sean will talk to Kim
McMillan about the contract between the city and TriMet that says the city can use that
parking lot for the specifics.
• Commissioner Pao asked if the circulation plan was ever coming back to the CCAC and if
it's off, where can she get a copy to show to the PRAB? Sean replied that the current plan is
still on line and that he will send her the link. No work has been done on it pending his
availability on working on HCT. The plan has not yet been approved by the Planning
Commission or the City Council.

City oFTigard 13US SW Hall Blvd. 'Tigard,OR 97223
Cover Graphic Pram Tigatd Do"town Future Vision by Tigard CommunityDevelopmwi and
University of Oregon
To the Citizens of Tigard,
As the First Executive Director of the City Center Development Agency(CCDA),it is with some sadness that
I submit my fifth and last Budget Message,
The City Center Development Agency is charged with the revitalization of Downtown and implementation of
the Urban Renewal Plan which was approved by voters in May of 2006.Ile source of fundu-g comes from
tax increment financing. When the CCDA was established,the assessed value of the district was frozen.
Property taxes collected on any growth in assessed value over and above the frozen base(the increment)go
to the CCDA.
In prior messages,I have preached patience for two reasons. First,Tigard's Urban Renewal district is not as
mature as others in the area and it takes time to build the increment. Second,new private development in the
area has been slow to materialize,due to the downturn in the economy. Until the increment grows,we are
limited in the type and size of projects we can undertake.
For Fiscal year.2011-12, 1 want to discuss Ore on Urban Renewal j 3 em&r Sekaed 05 arisow
expectations, There are 68 government City
Jurisdictions with a total of 102 urban renewal City/Agency Population Max.Indebtedness
districts in the state of Oregon. Tigard is the ninth Alb"Y 48,770 56,000,000
most populous city with a district. One primary Canby 15,165 51,150,000

accumulate to pay for projects. Tigard's CODA is Oswego 36,590 58,014,000
only the 48"'largest urban renewal district. The Oregon City 30,405 130,000,000
average population of agencies with smaller urban Pendleton 17,295 33,500,000
renewal districts is 7,100. Redmond 25,445
The table to the right shows how Tigard's Downtown 27,136,719
South Airport 24,675,190
maximum indebtedness compares to a selection of Roseburg 21,235 77,675,133
urban renewal districts that are either in the od 16,420 35,347,600
Portland Metro area,or are in cities of a population SherherwowoSpringfield 58,005
that is similar to Tigard. Of these districts,Tigard Downtown 43,010,0.300
has the lowest maximum indebtedness. Glenwood 32,860,400
All of this is background to say that Tigard chose Tualatin 26,040
to be a modestly sized urban renewal district. We Leveton 36,424,338
went through a.public process to establish the Central 27,707,384

now. Accordingly,our expectations for the size WoodburnWest
Sid 23,355 29,300,000
and types of projects the district will undertake
should be proportional to the size of the district.
Tigard 48,035 22,000,000
The FY 2011-12 Proposed Budget for the CCDA contains$375,000 in projects based on recommendations
by the City Center Advisory Commission(CCAC). In the upcoming year,we will continue the popular
Facade Improvement Program. In addition, the CODA will undertake a number of other projects,includitxg-
• Development Opportunity Studies and Real Estate Consulting
• Downtown Marketing Implementation
s Downtown Gateways at two locations
• Wayfind ng Implementation
• Parking Management Assistance
• Burnham Street Public Parking Lot
All of these projects will be paid for by loans from the City of Tigard that will be repaid during the fiscal year.
Additionally, staff has researched the viability of securing private financing, This is now a possibility for the
CCDA. Due to the nature of this funding source,it should be used when a major project or land purchase
has been identified. These projects and the potential for privatefunding of additional work are proportional
to the expectations of where CCDA should be for its age;economic condition,and size.
Wbat is amazing is the amount that local government has invested in the urban renewal district. While the
CCDA may be modestly sized,it brings attention and investment that may not exist without the district.
Over the last several years public projects such as Burnham Street,improvements at the intersections of
Pacific Highway with Greenburg/Main and Hall Boulevard have invested over$18 million in public funds
from the CCDA,City of Tigard,Washington County,and State of Oregon. In the next two years,Main
Street will be improved with another$3.7 million from the CCDA,City of Tigard and Metro;plus$1.7
million in parks acquisition and development is now possible due to the voter approved parks bond that
passed in November 2010. The parks bond alloses up to tent percent of the proceeds to be used in
Downtown. Including the parks bond and the Main Street projects,total public investment in the district as
of the end of FY 2012-13 will exceed$23 million
We have also been fortunate to see some development in the urban renewal district. There has been$10
million in non-profit development for the Knoll at Tigard senior housing development, This development
will not add to the increment since it is exempt from property tax,but we hope it will spur private
development in the district. According to building permit records,there has been S7 million in private
investment,including new development, tenant improvements and building upgrades. As the economy
continues its slow climb out of the recession,we need to see more investment from the private side to assist
with the development of the CCDA.
The objective of the City Center Development Agency is to engage stakeholders and foster economic
development in the Downtown. Despite the economic downturn,property and business owners will be
engaged to plan for the future,and set up partnerships than can be acted upon when the economy improves.
The Agency is fortunate to have an engaged,and committed citizen advisory body,the City Center Advisor}
Commission (CCA..),which has made recommendations on many critical issues implemented in this budget.
1 am optimistic that this year's budget and the projects that are currently underway,will position the Urban
Renewal District for further revitalization and investment from public and private entities.

Re: 'Tigard HCT Land Use Plan Update
Date: April 12,2011
`T he'Tigard High Capacity,Transit(HCT).Land Use Plan project is moi-ing forward according to
its contracted schedule.Two of the five tasks in the contracted scope of work halve been
completed;in addition sev.e-t-l public involvement elements have been completed or are mo`*
forward.This memorandum presents an update of the project status within the context of the
broader.,Southwest Corridor Plan, summarizes recently=completed project tasks,and identifies
upcoming acti-%xities. _A brief summary of public involvement acti,,rities is also provided.
SW Corridor Plain,
The Tigard HCT Land Use Plan was the.first of
five related projects comprising the Sly'Corridor
r, P 1 p g
Plan to get underway. Similar land use plans for
the cities of Portland and Tualatin are expected to
1 Y4
get started by year end as funding issues are
resolved. These land use plans will lay theP'`k4
groundwork for.HCT planning and will,inform
later decisions about transit service alignments.
Not only does this approach help assure the
success of future transit service, it also assures ;
that transit planning serves local community goals f�
and aspirations for future growth and
de-velopment.
The planning for.HC'T'and other transportation improvements in the SW Metro area,must
take into account the unique needs and aspirations of three cities,Metro,Tri-Met and
ODOT.'This requires close cooperation of all involved to ensure future transportation
facilities work seamlessly across jurisdictional boundaries. Adso, the SW Corridor Plan will
consider the relationship of land use and transportation as essential to economic
prosperity,land use efficiency and livability.The larger SVG CorridorPlanning effort is not
only about High Capacity Transit. Rather the focus is on how to achieve a balanced infix of
auto,HCT,traditional bus,pedestrian and bicyclee transportation movies.
Agenda Item 9
The.Tigard project is the only one officially underway and is scheduled to be completed in
January 2 012.The other SVS Corridor plan projects are ex cted to get started this sutxzmer.
Tigard HCT.Land Use Plan Project Status
The first two of five project tasks were completed as of the end of Nfarch.2011. 'Major
deliverables included:
Stakeholder Interviews:Appro dmately 45 stakeholders were interviewed about desired
community characteristics and the impacts of transit The key themes from the inten-iews
include a desire for a good walking environn-lent and good access to open space.A summary
report documenting the inter-views is included as Attachment B.
Existing Conditions Analyses: The project team conducted a comprehensive analysis of
current conditions,including land use,public policies,market conditions,transport2tion,natural
resources, public facilities, parks and trails. These reports are available for re-'rie"m on the
project web site.
Tigard Typologies Definitions
The findings from the Stakeholder Inten iews and the Existing Conditions analyses were
used to d.efinc Station C:oinrnunto,Tpolob�ies for Tigard. From the report:
This study,or"typology" describes four distinct Station (::ommunitcr"tees,"and
classifies the urban design and land use characteristics of each one,including the
primaxy land.use or mix of land uses (for example:,employment.,residential, civic),
and measurable characteristics such as persons per acre, jobs per household, floor
area ratio,etc. It also describes more qualitative characteristics that can't always be
measured such as".sense of place."It should be noted that within specific Station
Community tyTpes, there can be a wide range of characteristics,both qualitative
and quantitative.
The four typologies are summarised below:
L Town Center/Main Street
The Town Center/Main Street:Station Community includes significant housing,
employment and commercial businesses and serves the local population.The area within
1/2 mile of the high capacity transit station is a mix of housing,retail, sen ices,civic uses
and office. This area has ajobs-to-housing balance of approximately 2:1. Residential.
units in the form of flats (apartments or condominiums) occupy the upper level of some
buildings.Moving away from the station,there may be townhouses with f7ound floor
office and home-based businesses.The edges of the station area are predominantly
residential,blending into the surrounding single dwelling neighborhood. References for
comparison include the Hollywood neighborhood;Downtown INWwaulde;Downtown
Lake Oswego.
Agenda Item 9
2. Employment/R tail Destination
The focus of the Employment/ Retail Destination Station Community-is regional
employment and/or commercial and institutional.uses.It is a moderately,to intensely
populated district with an emphasis on employment and commercial retail activities.A
destination for transit.trips, this district focuses on office and/or retail employment,and
is highlighted by a regional shopping center and/or large-scale office coo-Pplexes.
Employment uses include a range of professional services,research and tec.hnology�-
based manufacturing. Civic uses and colleges can also be found here.The core of the center
is surrounded by medium to high density multi-story housing inn the form of
townhouses and apartment buildings, creating opportunities to live and work in close
proximity. A large percentage of the workers in the center travel from.outside.the area to
a job within the district. Additionally, the regional shopping center draws many trips in
.from outside the area.References for comparafion are: Lloyd District;Tanasbourne;
Bridgeport Village.
3. Transit Corridor NeWhborhood
1"he focus of the Transit Corridor Station Community is shop*g,dining and residential
uses with a suburban residential character. The transportation arterial seraing the
corridor was otigitnally*designed to accommodate auto traffic,but significant efforts have
been made to improve the pedestrian environment.The corridor has evolved into a
destination location for restaurants and a mix of stational chain retail and small-scale,
locally-owned.retail. The area has schools within-walking distance of the district..The
Transit Corridor Neighborhood has access to transit stations strategically located along
the corridor. Employment land uses, shopping and dining may be located near this
station community type but are smaller in scale than the same uses at the other Station
Communiti;s. The station area allows for a synergy of land uses because they are oriented
to customers arho use either tran sit,auto or other modes.Fhe rnajority of residents leave
the area to work,whileany jobs found within the corridor are predominantly=retail,
personal services or restaurant focused. References for comparison are: Ifillsdale,
Orenco Station,Lake Grove Neighborhood.
4. Transit Neighborhood Station Community
T e Transit Neighborhood Station Community is moderately populated and has a
residential feel..There are few commercial land uses in this Station Community, and
when they are present,they occur at locations where such uses have historically located;
usually at the crossroads of through streets. V hen they occur,commercial land uses take
the form of small--scale retail or office,usually on the ground floor of one or two corner
buildings. Examples of the retail that might be foundhere included coffee shops and
specialty stores,while office uses may include professional semkes,some'«in the f)nn of
home-based businesses. Some of these buildings,have residential uses above or behind
the retail or office use. Afore significant clusters of retail and restaurants are.within
walking and biking distance. References for comparison include Laurelhurst,Ladd's
Addition;Summerfield.
Agenda Item 9
Tigard HC's' Land Use Plan --Next Steps
Over the next five months the project team will develop a Station Community Concept Plan,
including six to ten potential station locations which will be further developed using the Station
Community Typologies.
A key step in the concept development will take place at a design session and public meeting on
May 25. An afternoon work session will provide an opportunity to the project team,city staff,
the'T'echn'ical Advisory Committee(TAC),and other agency planners to spend several hours
working in small groups to develop concept alternatives.This will be followed by wi evening
public meeting to hear comments and concerns and to further refine the concept alternatives.
.A separate presentation of the.concept alwi natives is scheduled for the Planning O)mmission at.
their June 6 meedng.This presentation vrill focus on station area planning within the'Tigard
Triangle. T11is is an opportunity to engage the Cx)mn ission in a discussion aboutt development
of a Tigard Triangle Master Plan. This will also be an opportunity to engage the Planning
Conon ssion at a critical time for input on thee overall project.
'111e Concept Alternatives will be: further evaluated for development of a proposed Station
Community Concept-Plan which be presented to Planning Commission and Council in
December 2011. —January 2012. City Council consideration of recommendations may depend
}
on changes to mobility standards related to the Transportation Planning Rule (rPR).'T his
could occur as an outcome of the SW Corridor Refinement Plan or due to changes in.statewide
policy which are currently wader.discussion.If these are not yet enacted,Council will be asked to
approve the Station.Community Concept Plan as the basis for future land use and
transportation planning decisions. Also the Concept Plan can be the city's blue print to guide
HCT planning Corridor such as the Alter natives Analysis;F,nvri om-rental Impact Statement
(CIS) and Locally Preferred Alignment,and other.related studies.
Public Involvement Activities
Activides for public involvement were initiated with the project kick-off and are continuing
throughout the project. In addition to the stakeholder interviews, citizens have offered
commeznts and questions through the C_A-C,on the project web site,mid via email.. Some of the
initial comments and questions include:
• Wheree will the alignment be?
• Are we talking about light rail?
• Why can't we just.increase bus serrice?
• Its important not to reduce the capacity?on Pacific Higbw'ay to handle auto traffic.

CITY CENTER DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd. Tigard,OR 97223
Cover Graphic from Tigard Downtown Future Vision by Tigard Community Development and
University of Oregon
To the Citizens of Tigard,
As the first Executive Director of the City Center Development Agency (CCDA),it is with some sadness that
I submit my fifth and last Budget Message.
The City Center Development Agency is charged with the revitalization of Downtown and implementation of
the Urban Renewal Plan which was approved by voters in May of 2006.The source of funding comes from
tax increment financing. When the CCDA was established,the assessed value of the district was frozen.
Property taxes collected on any growth in assessed value over and above the frozen base (the increment) go
to the CCDA.
In prior messages, I have preached patience for two reasons. First,Tigard's Urban Renewal district is not as
mature as others in the area and it takes time to build the increment. Second,new private development in the
area has been slow to materialize,due to the downturn in the economy. Until the increment grows,we are
limited in the type and size of projects we can undertake.
For Fiscal year 2011-12, I want to discuss Ore on Urban Renewal Agencies Selected Com arisons
expectations. There are 68 government City
jurisdictions with a total of 102 urban renewal City/Agency Population Max. Indebtedness
districts in the state of Oregon. Tigard is the ninth Albany 48,770 56,000,000
most populous city with a district. One primary Canby 15,165 51,150,000
way to measure the size of a district is its maximum Gresham 100,655 92,000,000
indebtedness. This is the most debt the agency can Keizer 36,150 45,890,384
Lake
accumulate to pay for projects. Tigard's CCDA is Oswego 36,590 58,014,000
only the 48`''largest urban renewal district. The Oregon City 30,405 130,000,000
average population of agencies with smaller urban Pendleton 17,295 33,500,000
renewal districts is 7,100. Redmond 25,445
The table to the right shows how Tigard's Downtown 27,136,719
South Airport 24,675,196
maximum indebtedness compares to a selection of Roseburg 21,235 77,250,133
urban renewal districts that are either in the Sherwood 16,420 35,347,600
Portland Metro area,or are in cities of a population Springfield 58,005
that is similar to Tigard. Of these districts,Tigard Downtown 43,010,000
has the lowest maximum indebtedness. Glenwood 32,860,000
All of this is background to say that Tigard chose Tualatin 26,040
to be a modestly sized urban renewal district. We Leveton 36,424,338
went through a public process to establish the Central 27,707,384
district and the conscious outcome of that process Wilsonville 17,940
Year 2000 92,687,423
was to have the modestly sized district we have West Side 40,000,000
now. Accordingly, our expectations for the size Woodburn 23,355 29,300,000
and types of projects the district will undertake
should be proportional to the size of the district.
Tigard 48,035 22,000,000
The FY 2011-12 Proposed Budget for the CCDA contains $375,000 in projects based on recommendations
by the City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC). In the upcoming year,we will continue the popular
Facade Improvement Program. In addition, the CCDA will undertake a number of other projects,including:
• Development Opportunity Studies and Real Estate Consulting
• Downtown Marketing Implementation
• Downtown Gateways at two locations
• Wayfinding Implementation
• Parking Management assistance
• Burnham Street Public Parking Lot
All of these projects will be paid for by loans from the City of Tigard that will be repaid during the fiscal year.
Additionally,staff has researched the viability of securing private financing. This is now a possibility for the
CCDA. Due to the nature of this funding source,it should be used when a major project or land purchase
has been identified. These projects and the potential for private funding of additional work are proportional
to the expectations of where CCDA should be for its age, economic condition,and size.
What is amazing is the amount that local government has invested in the urban renewal district. While the
CCDA may be modestly sized,it brings attention and investment that may not exist without the district.
Over the last several years public projects such as Burnham Street,improvements at the intersections of
Pacific Highway with Greenburg/Main and Hall Boulevard have invested over$18 million in public funds
from the CCDA,City of Tigard,Washington County,and State of Oregon. In the next two years,Main
Street will be improved with another$3.7 million from the CCDA,City of Tigard and Metro;plus $1.7
million in parks acquisition and development is now possible due to the voter approved parks bond that
passed in November 2010. The parks bond allows up to ten percent of the proceeds to be used in
Downtown. Including the parks bond and the Main Street projects,total public investment in the district as
of the end of FY 2012-13 will exceed$23 million
We have also been fortunate to see some development in the urban renewal district. There has been$10
million in non-profit development for the Knoll at Tigard senior housing development. This development
will not add to the increment since it is exempt from property tax,but the hope it will spur private
development in the district. According to building permit records, there has been$7 million in private
investment,including new development, tenant improvements and building upgrades. As the economy
continues its slow climb out of the recession,we need to see more investment from the private side to assist
with the development of the CCDA.
The objective of the City Center Development Agency is to engage stakeholders and foster economic
development in the Downtown. Despite the economic downturn,property and business owners will be
engaged to plan for the future,and set up partnerships than can be acted upon when the economy improves.
The Agency is fortunate to have an engaged and committed citizen advisory body,the City Center Advisory
Commission (CCAC),which has made recommendations on many critical issues implemented in this budget.
I am optimistic that this year's budget and the projects that are currently underway,will position the Urban
Renewal District for further revitalization and investment from public and private entities.

FY 2011-2012 Urban Renewal Projects
Main Street Green Street Related Projects
Burnham Street Public Parking Lot- $50,000
Description: Build a public parking lot on two City-owned parcels on Burnham Street.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 parking management plan for
Main Street.
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 - $120,000
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.
Facade 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
Agenda item 6
Draft Cityscape article
The voter approved open space bond included a provision that up to 10% of the bond go
toward purchase/development of park land in downtown Tigard. The citizen-led City
Center Advisory Commission (CCAC) and the Park and Recreation Advisory Board (DRAB)
want to hear your suggestions on park and open space purchases and improvements in the
Downtown. The CCAC and PRAB will evaluate your suggestions using the park bond
criteria. At least 80 percent of the bond proceeds will be used to buy park land and open
space; the balance will be used to purchase additional park property or to construct
improvements.
is the deadline to submit suggestions for evaluation. This process is expected
to take several months. The CCAC and PRAB will forward their recommendations to the
City Council later.

Agenda Item 9
City ofTigard
Memorandum
Ta Mayor Dirksen and City Council
From: Judith Gray, Senior Transportation Planner
Re Tigard HCT Land Use Plan Update
Date: April 12, 2011
The Tigard High Capacity Transit (HCT) Land Use Plan project is moving forward according to
its contracted schedule. Two of the five tasks in the contracted scope of work have been
completed;in addition several public involvement elements have been completed or are moving
forward. This memorandum presents an update of the project status within the context of the
broader Southwest Corridor Plan, summarizes recently completed project tasks, and identifies
upcoming activities. A brief summary of public involvement activities is also provided.
SW Corridor Plan
The Tigard HCT Land Use Plan was the first of
five related projects comprising the SW Corridor
Portland"Bar&ur
Plan to get underway. Similar land use plans for Concept Plan"
the cities of Portland and Tualatin are expected to Metro,odor,A,
get started by year end as funding issues are rrlMnt The
"Southw Ut�'1W St rlp�ard"94W
resolved. These land use plans will lay the Corridor Tr 4 �dnd t,"Flan"
groundwork for HCT planning and will inform panni;it orridor,
later decisions about transit service alignments. - tt ,onor,���11
Not only does this approach help assure theTrlraet Tualatin"99W
Southwe%t Corridor
orridor
success of future transit service, it also assures Refinement Planning
that transit planning serves local community goals Plan"
and aspirations for future growth and
development.
The planning for HCT and other transportation improvements in the SW Metro area,must
take into account the unique needs and aspirations of three cities, Metro,Tri-Met and
ODOT. This requires close cooperation of all involved to ensure future transportation
facilities work seamlessly across jurisdictional boundaries. Also, the SW Corridor Plan will
consider the relationship of land use and transportation as essential to economic
prosperity,land use efficiency and livability. The larger SW Corridor Planning effort is not
only about High Capacity Transit. Rather the focus is on how to achieve a balanced mix of
auto, HCT, traditional bus,pedestrian and bicycle transportation modes.
Agenda Item 9
The Tigard project is the only one officially underway and is scheduled to be completed in
January 2012. The other SW Corridor plan projects are expected to get started this summer.
Tigard HCT Land Use Plan Project Status
The first two of five project tasks were completed as of the end of March 2011.Major
deliverables included:
Stakeholder Interviews: Approximately 45 stakeholders were interviewed about desired
community characteristics and the impacts of transit. The key themes from the interviews
include a desire for a good walking environment and good access to open space.A summary
report documenting the interviews is included as Attachment B.
Existing Conditions Analyses: The project team conducted a comprehensive analysis of
current conditions,including land use,public policies,market conditions,transportation,natural
resources, public facilities, parks and trails. These reports are available for review on the
project web site.
Tigard Typologies Definitions
The findings from the Stakeholder Interviews and the Existing Conditions Analyses were
used to define Station Community Typologies for Tigard. From the report:
This study, or"typology" describes four distinct Station Community"types," and
classifies the urban design and land use characteristics of each one, including the
primary land use or mix of land uses (for example, employment, residential, civic),
and measurable characteristics such as persons per acre, jobs per household, floor
area ratio, etc. It also describes more qualitative characteristics that can't always be
measured such as "sense of place."It should be noted that within specific Station
Community types, there can be a wide range of characteristics, both qualitative
and quantitative.
The four typologies are summarized below:
1. Town Center/Main Street
The Town Center/Main Street Station Community includes significant housing,
employment and commercial businesses and serves the local population. The area within
1/2 mile of the high capacity transit station is a mix of housing, retail, services, civic uses
and office. This area has a jobs-to-housing balance of approximately 2:1. Residential
units in the form of flats (apartments or condominiums) occupy the upper level of some
buildings. Moving away from the station, there may be townhouses with ground floor
office and home-based businesses. The edges of the station area are predominantly
residential, blending into the surrounding single dwelling neighborhood. References for
comparison include the Hollywood neighborhood;Downtown Milwaukie;Downtown
Lake Oswego.
Agenda Item 9
2. Employment/Retail Destination
The focus of the Employment / Retail Destination Station Community is regional
employment and/or commercial and institutional uses. It is a moderately, to intensely
populated district with an emphasis on employment and commercial retail activities. A
destination for transit trips, this district focuses on office and/or retail employment, and
is highlighted by a regional shopping center and/or large-scale office complexes.
Employment uses include a range of professional services, research and technology-
based manufacturing. Civic uses and colleges can also be found here.The core of the center
is surrounded by medium to high density multi-story housing in the form of
townhouses and apartment buildings, creating opportunities to live and work in close
proximity. A large percentage of the workers in the center travel from outside the area to
a job within the district. Additionally, the regional shopping center draws many trips in
from outside the area. References for comparison are: Lloyd District;Tanasbourne;
Bridgeport Village.
3. Transit Corridor Neighborhood
The focus of the Transit Corridor Station Community is shopping, dining and residential
uses with a suburban residential character. The transportation arterial serving the
corridor was originally designed to accommodate auto traffic,but significant efforts have
been made to improve the pedestrian environment. The corridor has evolved into a
destination location for restaurants and a mix of national chain retail and small-scale,
locally-owned retail. The area has schools within walking distance of the district. The
Transit Corridor Neighborhood has access to transit stations strategically located along
the corridor. Employment land uses, shopping and dining may be located near this
station community type but are smaller in scale than the same uses at the other Station
Communities.The station area allows for a synergy of land uses because they are oriented
to customers who use either transit,auto or other modes.The majority of residents leave
the area to work,while any jobs found within the corridor are predominantly retail,
personal services or restaurant focused. References for comparison are: Hillsdale,
Orenco Station,Lake Grove Neighborhood.
4. Transit Neighborhood Station Community
The Transit Neighborhood Station Community is moderately populated and has a
residential feel. There are few commercial land uses in this Station Community, and
when they are present, they occur at locations where such uses have historically located;
usually at the crossroads of through streets.When they occur, commercial land uses take
the form of small-scale retail or office,usually on the ground floor of one or two corner
buildings. Examples of the retail that might be found here includes coffee shops and
specialty stores,while office uses may include professional services, some in the form of
home-based businesses. Some of these buildings have residential uses above or behind
the retail or office use. More significant clusters of retail and restaurants are within
walking and biking distance. References for comparison include Laurelhurst, Ladd's
Addition; Summerfield.
Agenda Item 9
Tigard HCT Land Use Plan — Next Steps
Over the next five months the project team will develop a Station Community Concept Plan,
including six to ten potential station locations which will be further developed using the Station
Community Typologies.
A key step in the concept development will take place at a design session and public meeting on
May 25. An afternoon work session will provide an opportunity to the project team, city staff,
the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and other agency planners to spend several hours
working in small groups to develop concept alternatives. This will be followed by an evening
public meeting to hear comments and concerns and to further refine the concept alternatives.
A separate presentation of the concept alternatives is scheduled for the Planning Commission at
their June 6 meeting. This presentation will focus on station area planning within the Tigard
Triangle. This is an opportunity to engage the Commission in a discussion about development
of a Tigard Triangle Master Plan. This will also be an opportunity to engage the Planning
Commission at a critical time for input on the overall project.
The Concept Alternatives will be further evaluated for development of a proposed Station
Community Concept Plan which will be presented to Planning Commission and Council in
December 2011 —January 2012. City Council consideration of recommendations may depend
on changes to mobility standards related to the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR). This
could occur as an outcome of the SW Corridor Refinement Plan or due to changes in statewide
policy which are currently under discussion. If these are not yet enacted, Council will be asked to
approve the Station Community Concept Plan as the basis for future land use and
transportation planning decisions. Also the Concept Plan can be the city's blue print to guide
HCT planning Corridor such as the Alternatives Analysis;Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) and Locally Preferred Alignment, and other related studies.
Public Involvement Activities
Activities for public involvement were initiated with the project kick-off and are continuing
throughout the project. In addition to the stakeholder interviews, citizens have offered
comments and questions through the CAC,on the project web site, and via email. Some of the
initial comments and questions include:
• Where will the alignment be?
• Are we talking about light rail?
• Why can't we just increase bus service?
• It's important not to reduce the capacity on Pacific Highway to handle auto traffic.
Other upcoming public involvement activities include the following:
• Tigard Area Farmers Market (May 15 and June 19)
• Public Meeting (May 25th)
• Balloon Festival Qune 24 through 26) (File: HCT Update Memo Ron April v2.docx)
