presented a slide show,a copy of which has been added to the meeting packet. He read the TDA's
mission statement:Our mission is to represent the interests of a wide range of downtown stakeholders. This includes
property owners, business owners, managers and employees;residents and visitors, to guide the changes needed for a vibrant
and thriving downtown for the benefit of the entire community. He said they are now incorporated and Board

U Mr.DeAngelo gave a report on the Third Annual Downtown Tigard Street Fair.It was a huge success
and of special note was the merchant to merchant engagement. He covered other activities and focuses of
the TDA.
Beautification Projects: While hanging flower baskets are common in some cities,they are expensive to
maintain. It is easy to get them funded but difficult and costly to keep them alive. TDA wants to try
something new and decorate the downtown with hanging blown glass baskets from local merchant Live
Laugh Love Glass.They would be illuminated by solar lighting. There will also be light pole banners and 9-
12 new benches and bike racks that are more of an art form than a standard rack These would also be
installed at the northern end of Main Street. They hope to install a permanent bike work station with pump
and various wrenches attached by cables,similar to one at Whole Foods. Bicycle riders could use this to
pump up tires or adjust their seats. Event banners are planned using a cabling system. He said they learned
that air over a public thoroughfare is not"free," and they will rent the space in the air for a banner between
Symposium and Cafe Allegro.Washington County Visitors Association(WCVA) awarded$50,000 in funding
for these projects.
Economic Development: Mr.DeAngelo said the TDA got word of LOI acceptance for a WCVA Tourism
Grant.New funding sources will be identified when the organization receives 501 (3) (c)status. He said they
are pleased to work with Economic Development Manager Purdy because of his proven ability to attract
dollars for previous projects.The TDA received$10,000 from Landmark Ford and$2,500 from Columbia
Bank in sponsorships. He said the bus tour was successful and they plan to continue their visits to view
successes at other vibrant shopping and walking districts in the region.
Mr.DeAngelo said the Street Fair made a profit. There was greater merchant to merchant engagement and
more activities for children. They asked a consultant who oversees the Mississippi Street Fair in Portland to
evaluate Tigard's Street Fair. He said,"His initial reaction is that we're on the right path."
How the CXDA can help the TDA:Mr.DeAngelo said the GCDA could help with communicating their
existence and giving them suggestions about how to reach individual stakeholders. He said there were pros
and cons with moving to an electronic CityScape and mentioned that people get their information in various
ways. He offered the TDA as a conduit for information gathering. He suggested the CCDA members attend
the Oregon Main Street Conference in McMinnville,which was voted the second best downtown by Parade
magazine recently. He said financial assistance from the city would be helpful. Mr.DeAngelo said the TDA
would like to help create a brand for the downtown.He said their biggest question is,"What can the TDA do
for the city?"
Director Henderson replied,"Work with other merchants,consolidate information and let us know what
others may be afraid to come and talk to council about. Be a conduit for communication."
Director Snider advised that the TDA keep doing what they have been and said,"What you've done in 14
months is incredible."
Director Woodard said he was pleased to hear about the beautification and amenities.
Partnership Goals: Mr.DeAngelo said the TDA will continue to capitalize on the use of the four-point Main
Street approach which will be the basis for every mechanism they try to execute. He said they would like to
move the status to a"performing" Main Street. The strolling street and the fagade improvement program are
examples of ways the city can help stakeholders enhance their properties,making being in the downtown

enjoyable for everyone. He said the TDA would benefit greatly if they could hire a part-time staff position in
the near future.
Future street fair improvements include:
• Doubling the vendor space
• Walking/biking events
• Beer sampling-Home brew contest
• Wine Tasting
The street fair consultant suggested not doing too much too fast. Focus on a few of these ideas and do them
well.
Mr.DeAngelo summarized that the TDA wants to synergize efforts with its various partners,which include
the CCAC,CCDA and others. He said the TDA meets monthly and also informally every Tuesday at
Symposium at 8:00 am.
TDA Vice President Stevens thanked TDA President DeAngelo and Economic Development Manager
Purdy. He said,"Our limitation is our time. We are all running businesses. It would be helpful to have a
part time employee." He noted they experience limitations because they cannot communicate directly with
each business owner.
0 Director Henderson thanked everyone for cross pollinating ideas with the city's other committees and
said it has led to success and greater connectivity.
Director Woodard said he liked the focus on the four-point approach.He mentioned the branding and
suggested there might be ideas that will capture the attention of those driving through on 99W. Entry gates
will help those travelling by know that downtown Tigard is open for business. He said he understood the
need to hire a staff person and he was in support. He suggested looking at this when budgeting to see if it
was at all possible. Director Snider asked for a cost estimate and asked if they had research other funding
options. Mr.DeAngelo said they have looked into grants and other opportunities.Some allow for paid
positions but most are project oriented. Secretary Shearer said an earlier estimate was $50,000 for a full time
person to do this work Mr.DeAngelo said due to their low dues structure and the amount of money that
events cost,the organization cannot sustain itself without outside funding for a staff person.Director
Henderson commented that Astoria made funding staff person a priority for four years.
Director Woodard asked about expanding the city's economic development department and hiring a part-
time person.
Chair Cook said he wanted to echo what the other CCDA directors said about the TDA exceeding their
expectations. He said the organization has been great for the community and for Main Street especially,at a
time when those businesses needed the extra support. He said,"You are helping the downtown businesses
and they should thank you for this." He noted that the last time the TDA asked for monetary support,the
city matched it. He suggested putting together a funding package to hire a staff person. He said the support
could be on an adjustable sliding scale but did not recommend using CCDA money because it has an
expiration date. He again thanked the TDA and said he frequently mentions how much the TDA does for
the community.

Board Member Thornburg commented on a positive change in city staff and how they communicate is
different from what was experienced in the past. He specifically thanked Mayor Cook,City Manager Wine,
Community Development Director Asher,Redevelopment Project Director Farrelly and Economic
Development Manager Purdy for making their job much easier and for promoting the city.Director Snider
said he was pleased to hear that and asked that the TDA to continue sharing feedback with the CCDA on
how the staff is partnering with them.
3. UPDATE ON ASH AVENUE/BURNHAM STREET HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
IR Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly spoke about a key project for downtown redevelopment. The
proposed redevelopment of two city owned sites at Ash and Burnham is important because attracting more
people to live in the downtown area is seen as crucial to the success of the urban renewal efforts. The vision
of the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan('T'DIP) is to have a mixed-use urban village. Attracting
downtown housing is listed as one of the eight TDIP catalyst projects. Tigard's blueprint for the downtown,
the City Center Urban Renewal Plan,states that Goal 5 is to promote high quality development of retail,
office and residential uses that support and are supported by public streetscape,transportation,recreation and
open space investments.
Housing would also leverage investments made on Burnham Street,Main Street and the commuter rail. He
showed a map of two sites that have been studied.Site One is on Ash and Burnham and Site Two is on
Commercial Street.Predevelopment work was funded by $100,000 CommunityPlanning and Development
Grant from Metro. Predevelopment work can include appraisals,environmental assessments,market
analysis,and conceptual site plans.
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said the city entered into a Memorandum of Understanding(MOU)
with developer George Diamond.An extensive market analysis was done for this area.Architects completed
conceptual site plans for each site. Site One could have four buildings,three are three-story walk-ups
oriented to the park The fourth building would be a four or five story commercial use building in the current
location of the Ash Avenue Dog Park There could be 108-128 units and a one-to-one parking ratio which it
is hoped will attract transit riders. Parking would be mostly surface,with some underground. There is a new
street planned which would provide additional parking.
Mr.Farrellysaid plans for Site Two are not as firm but the former location of Homemasters and Kaufman
Streambom is about 14,000 square feet and could hold 20 units and 2800 square feet of commercial space.
The acquisition of a neighboring site is a possibility.
Redevelopment Pmject Manager Farrellysaid a concept review workshop was held at the AIA(American
Institute of Architects) Center with 17 stakeholders,including Metro Councilor Dirksen,Council President
Henderson,and representatives from the TDA,Planning Commission,Tigard Transportation Advisory
Committee(TTAQ,CCAC and the Ash Avenue Dog Park Committee present. Opinions were sought on
the design and Mr.Farrelly briefly summarized them. Community input expressed a desire for.
• Development must work with nearby Fanno Creek
• Avoidance of risky or dead spaces in the design
• Make it a blend of traditional aesthetics that will attract the younger generation.

City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd,Tigard,OR 97223 1 wwwtigard-or.gov I Page 4 of 7
An important part of this project is relocation of the Ash Avenue Dog Park Two neighboring sites were
considered,with different tradeoffs. A commitment was made to opening up a new dog park before removal
of the current one.A concept study will be done to assist with this decision. Cost for this relocation will be
included in the project.
It is likely that this development will take advantage of the VHDZ (Vertical Housing Design Zone) and both
sites would qualify.
Mr.Farrelly discussed the timeline which includes relocation of the public works building,storage and
activities there. In response to a question from Director Snider,Mr.Farrelly said staff is aiming to break
ground in July of 2015.Next steps include:
• Relocation of the public works yard(Does the cost justify bringing 180 units?)
• Finalization of the new dog park relocation
• Development agreement negotiation.The city attomey has finalized a draft which will be given to the
developer by the end of this week The agreement minimizes the cit/s risk A draft will be given to
the CCAC and CCDA for review in November or December,if not earlier.
Director Snider asked if the sale of the public works yard would be a tradeoff for moving those public works
employees elsewhere. Community Development Director Asher said the citycannot appreciate the value of
that land. Any revenue from the sale would go into the city's general fund but the value needs to be applied
to the project. He said the public works relocation lease amount would be recouped by growth of the
increment and increased development in the downtown.
In response to a question from Director Henderson about the$80,340 figure,Redevelopment Project
Manager Farrelly said this is the cost of the pre-development work and$55,000 is a match of in-kind services
by Community Development Director Asher and Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly.
Chair Cook asked if staff is working with the dog park committee on finalizing the relocation. He suggested
moving the dog park to a site that will just be developed later is not advisable.Community Development
Director Asher agreed. He said the site on the comer of Ash and Bumham is clearly slated for development
but the site behind B&B Printing is not a redevelopment site.
Chair Cook asked about universal design methods which make buildings accessible for any demographic.
Community Development Director Asher suggested negotiating for that in the development agreement.
Director Woodard encouraged reaching out to retail stakeholder and looking at the city's policy regarding
kiosks and vendors.Community Development Director Asher said there will be an open house so all
stakeholders can see what is being considered. He cautioned that it is not the agency's choice of who moves
into the retail space.Details such as "commercial,with high ceilings" can be selected,but this stops short of
what business is appropriate to move into the space.He said the grant is for the two sites but the
development agreement pertains onlyto Site One. He said having onlya single use (residential only)means
we are missing a place to walk to,get coffee or buy sundries.
Richard Shavey,of 11371 Sycamore Street,Tigard,asked if he could testify and Chair Cook said he would
allow it. Mr.Shavey said this is a catalyst project for a number of reasons. He asked if Ash Avenue would
continue to be a dead end or become a through street. Chair Cook said it is shown both ways in the future
Transportation System Plan. Mr.Shaveysaid,"This has to be a through street to be a success." Director

Woodard said he made a good point and said for many years council has been discussing the need for better
street connectivity in the downtown. Director Snider said the street changes will occur incrementally. Mr.
Farrelly said this project does develop a street that is planned eventually to connect with Hall Boulevard,
Chair Cook cautioned that people looking at a future plan do not understand that yellow lines on a map do
not mean a change will occur immediately.It will happen over time,as things change and areas are
redeveloped. Director Woodard said council prefers to avoid using eminent domain. Mr.Shavey encouraged
the GCDA to think of Ash Avenue as a phased project.People need to drive by the project and a through
street would help create interest.
10 Tim Esau, 12247 SW 114th Terrace,Tigard,spoke. He said he was excited to hear about Ash Avenue
coming through as transportation is important to him He was pleased about branding efforts in the
downtown that will help give Tigard an identity. He expressed concerns about redevelopment site one
because the city is giving up city-owned land having no further costs and taking on an ongoing burden of
renting,leasing or buying land further away from the city core for relocation of staff and operations.He said
he did not like the thought of subsidies,such as the VHDZ,and that buying residents is the wrong way to
bring people downtown.He noted the lack of a community center or anything else to draw them Traffic is
the major problem and bringing in 128 additional residents is not going to make it any better. He stressed
that any kind of development should be tied to bringing a connector through Ash Avenue. He said it seemed
wrong that the sale of the property would be given back to the developer. He did not like giving this away
and then adding relocation costs to the city organization.
Director Henderson requested a copy of the PowerPoint.
4. UPDATE ON MAIN STREET GATEWAY ART PROJECT'
U Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly gave the CCDA background on the Main Street art project.
He showed pictures of the assembly of this large piece of anwork,being welded by artist Brian Borello at a
machine shop in Canby. The art is 50 percent complete. An art conservator will review the project and make
recommendations about maintenance and cleaning. It will be coated to stand up to the effects of car exhaust
and weather. A landscape architect is working on plans. We considered having a matching gateway of stone
but there is not enough room or power for the lighting without purchasing property.
Director Woodard asked how many light fixtures there would be and Redevelopment Project Manager
Farrelly said there would be four. Director Snider commented that they originally thought the lighting would
be LED from inside the sculptures. Mr.Farrelly confirmed that they will not be lit from inside and ODOT
has certain conditions regarding changing colors. Chair Cook said the LED lighting was a selling point of all
of the designs. Mr.Farrelly said different lighting techniques were explored and ODOT has given the city a
permit to do the artwork. There is still a question about having"Welcome to Downtown Tigard" signage
and staff is pursuing this. Director Snider urged not giving up on this and said the city council will help
convince them
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly said the southern gateway is pan of the Main Street Green Street
project staging area and will be prepared when that project ends in November.He said staff prefers to install
both pieces around the same time.When completed,the artist will transport and store the pieces in the public
works yard until installation time. Director Henderson asked about children climbing inside the art. Mr.

Farrelly said the artist discourages people to be inside of it,but will give it the"drunk frat boy"test to make
sure it is safe.However,the location is not safe for kids to be playing.
5. NON AGENDA ITEMS:

Discuss downtown parking management
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
The Board of the CCDA is requested to provide feedback on the downtown parking
management work to date.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In the vicinity of Main Street, about 1,051 parking spaces have been inventoried. 16% of these
spaces are under city control (on-street and off street lots); 751 spaces are in private off-street
lots. While the city has only a small piece of the supply, staff recognizes the importance of
parking management for an economically healthy downtown.
In August 2011, staff and Rick Williams completed a Parking Plan Strategy Recommendation
Strategy report. The Green Street project has implemented several of its recommendations.
With the Green Street project completion, the parking plan will be updated. Urban renewal
related projects have affected the on-street parking supply. The recently completed Phase I of
the Main Street Green Street project resulted in a loss of some on-street parking spaces, while
the Burnham Street public parking lot, plus the on-street parking spaces created with the
Burnham Street improvements, have provided new parking opportunities.
The Tigard Downtown Alliance (TDA) is an important partner in downtown parking
management. Staff and parking advisor Rick Williams have made two presentations on
parking to the Tigard Downtown Alliance (TDA) at their April and August "Downtown
Dialogues" and have worked with a parking subcommittee of the TDA.
Progress has been made working with the TDA particularly in these three areas:
1. Encourage shared parking
With such a large percentage of the parking supply on private property, there is an
opportunity for shared parking (where property owners with a surplus of parking make
arrangements with property/business owners with high parking demand). Anecdotally, several
downtown property owners have made these arrangements; some, though not all, involve
payment for the spaces. Additional shared parking arrangements will be encouraged -
particularly those that allow a predictable number of employees to park in surplus private
parking spaces -which may free up on-street parking spaces. The TDA could be involved in
"peer to peer" discussions in encouraging these arrangements. City involvement might be
limited to providing parking data and signage.
2. Develop criteria for 15 minute parking spaces
Currently the Tigard Municipal Code designates a two hour parking limit on Main Street
(Monday through Saturday,between the hours of 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM). The TMC also
authorizes the City Engineer to designate up to twenty spaces on Main Street as 15 minute
limit spaces, with the locations selected in consultation with business owners. Currently there
is one designated 15 minute space on Main Street. The 2011 Downtown Parking
Management Strategy and Plan recommended that all on-street parking in the downtown be
standardized to 2 hours. This would provide a consistent message to customers seeking
parking and support a level of turnover conducive to strong business activity. The Green
Street Project includes the installation of clear signage that had been lacking in some areas.
Requests for exceptions to this in the form of 15 minute spaces —would be reviewed by the
City Engineer against criteria. These criteria are in draft form,but will likely include limiting
their location and only allowing them for business with high customer turnover, e.g., dry
cleaners,banks, etc., and for businesses without off-street parking. The draft criteria have
been reviewed by the TDA parking subcommittee.
3. Develop marketing and communication strategies- a "Customer First" parking
program
Downtown could unify its parking system around a "customer first" program. A program of
this type recognizes the importance of customer service and managing the customer
experience. It also recognizes the role of parking within the larger effort to communicate and
market the downtown. The TDA would be the lead on this and find ways to use marketing
and events to include messages about customer and visitor parking.
Updated parking utilization study
These parking management efforts will be improved with new parking data. A 2010 parking
utilization study showed that there was only one block face of Main Street where utilization
was above 85% at the peak hour; 85%utilization of parking spaces in a district is the rule of
thumb that indicates a need for more active parking management. As there are several new
businesses and a new Main Street parking configuration, a new utilization study is needed.
Members of the TDA suggested data collection in spring 2015, to allow for some stabilization
in parking behavior after the construction period.
The city will continue working with the TDA on updating the plan and implementing its
recommendations. Once the new parking utilization data has been collected, staff will return
with an update to the CCDA.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The Board of the CCDM could direct staff to investigate additional parking management
policies.
