AGENDA ITEM #1: Welcome and Introductions
Chair Tom Murphy opened the meeting and Doreen recorded the roll can.
AGENDA ITEM #2: Review/Approve Minutes
The March 12, 2014 CCAC Minutes were approved as amended. Linli abstained from the vote as
she entered the meeting shortly after the motion.
AGENDA ITEM #3: Non-Agenda Items / Public Comment
Sean told the commissioners there would be a second CCAC meeting scheduled for the month of
April regarding amending the Urban Renewal Plan as they will be purchasing a property downtown.
He's not at liberty to say which property yet;it was discussed in CCDA Executive Sessions. The
CCDA will be meeting May Ch and will amend the plan, approve the purchase, and also approve
some things that are necessary for financing the purchase; the CCAC needs to meet before then. A
meeting is scheduled for Wednesday,April 30, at 6:30pm. Tom said there's another item that he'd
like to have on that agenda as well,but he'll do his best to keep the meeting to just one hour and
have the meeting wind up by 7:30pm. Sean said that due to last minute nature of calling this
meeting,he also will offer the option of phoning in to attend. By April 30, they'll be able to freely
discuss the purchase as the agenda will already have gone out for Council for the following week so
it will be public by then. Tom said the CCDA made it very clear that they wanted the sign-off from
the CCAC. Sean noted that the location of the meeting will be the second floor conference room at
the library. Staff will send out an email reminder with the agenda.
CCAC Meeting Minutes for Wednesday,April 9,2014 Page 1 of 4
Sean also reported good news on the Tigard Street trail. ODOT rail and railroad has signed off on a
99-year lease agreement with the city;very good news. There are some provisions—if the rail
company ever wants it back, they can give a six month notice and remove everything. However, the
likelihood of that happening appears to be very slim. Still, the possibility will have to be considered
when the trail portion is designed.
Staff applied for a Connect Oregon Grant V for$1.2 million to construct trail and public space at
Main Street. More about that grant forthcoming in summer or fall.
Sean reported that the previous CCAC secretary, Chris Wiley,had left the City and is now working
part-time for King City. Doreen Laughlin will be filling in until she fills that position with another
Sr. Admin. Chris had sent a card to the CCAC members which Sean passed around to the
commissioners. The commissioners said she would be missed.
Tom reported that Metro has initiated a group called Implementation and Development Southwest
or IDSW. Its members are public and private stakeholders in the southwest corridor. IDSW will
make recommendations to the Southwest Corridor Steering Committee and the Metro Council in
regard to funding of specific projects. Tom was invited to join and went to the March meeting as a
nominee. He would like to identify himself as a member of the CCAC;however, he doesn't intend
to speak as a representative of the CCAC. He asked if the CCAC would agree to that. A motion was
made to that effect—Carine Arendes made the motion,Deanie Bush seconded, and all agreed. Tom
and Sherrie abstained. Tom will identify himself as a member of the CCAC,but will not speak on
the CCAC's behalf.
Chair Murphy called for public comment. There was none.
AGENDA ITEM#4: CCDA FY 2014-15 Proposed Budget
Sean said the budget meetings would take place at the end of this month and possibly through to May. Information on
the proposed 2014/2015 CCDA budget will be reviewed by the CCDA Budget Committee.The CCDA has its own
budget committee but the makeup is identical to the City's Budget Committee.The budget is leaner than it's been in the
past at$254,000—which is about half.There will be some carry-over funds.There is some money from a CET grant but
it will still be quite a bit leaner.He went over a handout explaining that budget(Attachment 1).
AGENDA ITEM #5: Downtown Public Space
Tom reported that Michele Reeves will be presenting at the May 6 CCDA meeting on what makes a
successful or unsuccessful downtown public space and Tom strongly urges people to make that
meeting if possible.
Sean believes that May 6 meeting will be recorded so,if someone can't make it, they will be able to
listen to it. He will get confirmation of that. Tom said he believes the meeting has been moved to
Council Chambers from the Red Rock Conference Room in part to accommodate more people, and
in part because of the good audio visual capabilities of that room.

AGENDA ITEM #6: Main Street Green Street (Item taken second and out of order)
Kim McMillan,Assistant City Engineer and Project Manager for Main Street Green Street—gave an
update on the construction on Main Street. She said they're tearing up the sidewalks. There are white
and orange barricades. They're moving the pedestrian traffic from the sidewalk area out to the street
and they'll be barricaded so they'll have a safe passageway and will have passage up to each doorway
for the stores and businesses. That will last for several weeks while they reconstruct that segment,
before they move on to the next segment. They've finished with the waterline for the most part—
the new water main is in on Tigard Street down to Burnham—all the way down, across and under
the bridge.
They are still on schedule to be done mid-November. She said they provided a"marketing kit" to
businesses that has facts and tips to give to the customers. They have an "open for business"
brochure with a list of all the businesses on Main Street. It also shows where the public parking is.
Deanie Bush said she'd heard from some that they were being polled by Erin (a consultant working
for the city) about how construction is impacting their business. Kim mentioned that Erin is not
polling them about finances,but is doing it to get feedback on how this construction is affecting
them. There is both positive and negative feedback. Some are impacted greater than others. On a
good note, Symposium Coffee said that March has been their most successful month so far. The
City is trying to be responsive as they hear about problems -but they need to hear about them so
they can respond. Kim said she would like people to contact her if there's something they would like
to report or talk to her about. Kim McMillan can be reached at 503-718-2642 or Kimgtigard-
or.gov.
AGENDA ITEM #7: Vertical Housing Development Zone (VHDZ)
For those who weren't at the last meeting, Sean briefly explained what the VHDZ is. It's a zone
administered by the state that allows for a tax break for projects where there is ground floor
commercial and housing above; the tax break is 20%. Sean will send out a graphic that shows a
commercial property that doesn't have much going on—with very little property tax being generated
—with the addition of a mixed-use project. The graphic shows a vast increase in property tax is
realized—even with the abatement. He said the numbers make a good argument for the zone. The
program is currently authorized by the state through 2016—so that would mean an application has
to get in before then. The city may need to advocate at the state level to re-authorize the zone. Staff
is recommending that the VHDZ include both the downtown and the mixed-use portions of the
Tigard Triangle. The city has wanted to see mixed-use,higher intensity development in the Triangle
outside of the "big box" area of the Triangle.
Tom said that he'd asked the CCDA whether there was something in particular they were looking
for from the CCAC. The answer was "not at this time". It's back to staff to carry it forward and
come back with a more specific kind of proposal. The CCAC will probably be vetting that at some
point in the future.

AGENDA ITEM #8: Liaison Reports
• The TTAC did not meet in April.
• Carine noted that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (DRAB) would be meeting the
following Monday night.
• Tom noted that at the March 18th City Council meeting, Economic Development Manager
Lloyd Purdy provided an update on economic development activity citywide. Tom didn't
recall anything that was particularly pertinent to downtown. He said Lloyd was taking the
citywide perspective. He noted that Lloyd had a report but it was still in draft form so will
not be ready for distribution at this point. Tom believes it should get the CCAC's attention
when it's in final form.
• At the April 1 CCDA meeting,Tom noted that the newest commissioners —Richard Shavey
and Hank March had been introduced and welcomed to the CCAC (with Alternate Lynn
Scroggin welcomed in absentia.)
• Tom reminded the commissioners that after the March CCAC meeting, he'd been asked to
comment to the CCDA on the potential impact of Ballot Measure 34-210 on the Urban
Renewal District. Since the CCAC had not met since the passage of that measure,he offered
his own observations to the CCDA but prefaced them by saying that this had not been a
topic discussed with the CCAC, therefore,it was purely his own opinion. Tom believes the
City Council is taking a proactive approach in responding to the measure.

ISSUE
The City of Tigard's economic development program focuses on Groundwork, Business
Assistance and Innovation to encourage private sector investment in the City of Tigard.
Groundwork includes working with partners - like private sector developers and the State of
Oregon - to create the places that well serve Tigard's businesses, workforce, and our residents.
Business Assistance includes the creation of relationships, projects and programs that encourage
and leverage private sector investment by entrepreneurs and business owners in order to grow
Tigard based businesses, increase employment, and showcase a business friendly environment.
Innovation includes problem solving using a range of tools.
A Vertical Housing Development Zone (VHDZ) is an economic development tool that is
consistent with the fundamentals of our economic development strategy. It leverages and
induces private sector investment. A VHDZ results in development that supports commercial
activity for restaurants, retailers and professional offices along with housing for residents (our
workforce), and it requires collaboration with state and private sector partners.
The Board of the City Center Development Agency will consider the creation of a Vertical
Housing Development Zone (VHDZ) in the Urban Renewal District and potentially the
Tigard Triangle. If the Board is in favor of the program, the City Council can designate a
zone through formal resolution at a subsequent meeting. A proposal will then be made to the
state's Housing and Community Services office.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
A Vertical Housing Development Zone encourages private sector investors and developers to
add residential capacity above first floor commercial uses in targeted parts of the City. This
results in a mix of commercial and residential activities that can be mutually supportive. A
VHDZ is one tool used with other programs like an urban renewal district and existing land
use classificaitons to incentivize early phase mixed-use projects in designated areas of the City.
Staff recommends authorization of the designation of a Vertical Housing Development Zone
consistent with state requirements that encompasses downtown Tigard and includes the
Tigard Triangle.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
State enabling legislation allows municipalities to adopt a Vertical Housing Development
Zone to encourage the private sector to build higher-density mixed-use development (first
floor commercial with residential above) in targeted areas of a city. The reduction of a portion
of property taxes for a defined period of time can improve the financial feasibility of a mixed
use project -- particularly in markets where lower rents might not support the cost of new
construction.
The City may designate a Vertical Housing Development Zone by applying to the State of
Oregon Housing and Community Services Department (OHCS). Qualified new development
projects within a Vertical Housing Development Zone are eligible to receive a 10-year
property tax abatement on the value of new construction for up to 20% per residential floor
(for the first four floors above a commercial ground floor). Total property tax abatement of
the new construction is limited to no more than 80%.
•Projects are certified through State OHCS.
•Tax abatements are applied only to the value of the building, not the land.
•An additional partial property tax exemption on the land may be given if some or all of
the residential housing is designated as affordable housing (80 percent of area median
income or below).
•The Zone must be in a qualifying area defined by the City, consistent with state criteria.
•Each project is provided with the abatement for a maximum 10-year period if
applications are approved before January 2016 (under current legislation).
•Abatement applies to all taxing jurisdictions. Taxing jurisdictions have the option to "opt
out" of the zone.
Other communities (Hillsboro, Milwaukie, Gresham and Oregon City) have used VHDZ to
encourage mixed-use residential development. The Fourth/Main Project nearing completion
in downtown Hillsboro is an excellent example of how this tool facilitates mixed use
development in urban infill real estate markets.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
A Vertical Housing Development Zone, as an overlay on top of existing land use, can be
combined with other programs like urban renewal tax increment financing to encourage
private investment. A VHDZ is an additional tool in the City's economic development
portfolio.
COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS
A Vertical Housing Development Zone is consistent with the Center City Urban Renewal
Plan, Comprehensive Plan Goal 15, as well as Goal 9 and 10 of the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
Downtown/Urban Renewal
A Vertical Housing Development Zone works with existing land use and the City's urban
renewal district to encourage development that supports downtown revitalization. The
purpose of the City of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan Goal 15 (Downtown) is to facilitate the
transformation of downtown into an urban village. Given existing land use and commercial
activity, this will require the addition of both housing and space for new commercial activity
located in a walkable context.
Specifically, policy 6 notes the need for a range of new housing options to attract new
residents to Downtown (who are both local consumers and part of our work force).
Concurrently policy 2 encourages a mix of complementary land uses —higher density
residential activity along with retail restaurant, entertainment and services. A Vertical Housing
Development Zone is an economic development tool that encourages private sector
development for both commercial and residential activity. Development projects successfully
qualify as VHDZ projects because they locate commercial activity focused on goods and
services with consumers and employees (residents).
Like tax increment financing, a Vertical Housing Development Zone is a tool municipalities
in the State of Oregon can use to influence the type of development in a targeted part of the
City. Urban Renewal tax increment financing is a targeted tool focused on specific projects. A
VHDZ is a more general tool encouraging a development pattern — higher density residential
development with first story commercial activity. Combining residential use with commercial
first story activity typically creates a more challenging and expensive development program. A
VHDZ reduces in part, some of the expense of mixed use development over the early life
(first 10 years) of a project.
Tigard Triangle
According to preliminary findings from the Tigard Triangle Strategic Plan, existing zoning in
the Tigard Triangle is primarily composed of Mixed-Use Employment (MUE), which permits
both commercial and multifamily residential development. Depending upon the results of the
Tigard Triangle strategic planning process, this area may see the addition of between 900 and
2,900 potential new dwelling units. Future development in the Triangle is expected to include
a mix of housing along with office, retail and/or other amenities integrated into a walkable
neighborhood.
This development pattern provides access to commercial services, housing, and employment
within walking distance of one another, while providing access to public transportation and
other non-auto modes of travel to minimize single-occupancy vehicle use. Office uses and
residential projects will need amenities such as coffee shops, banks, restaurants, dry cleaners,
hair salons, etc. to be viable. These amenities must be focused in areas with the greatest
visibility and access to patrons (residents).
Including the Tigard Triangle as part of a Vertical Housing Development Zone is one tool the
city can use to induce private sector development consistent with the expectations highlighted
above. Development that provides capacity for residential activity located above commercial
activity creates a marketplace for economic activity, more efficient land use patterns, and
"street activating" activity. In the Tigard Triangle, a Vertical Housing Development Zone may
be a financial tool that aligns with changes to our land use and design code that encourages
higher density residential development in an area of the City where historically regulatory and
market forces, have not converged to support this type of private sector investment.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 9 Objectives
A Vertical Housing Development Zone supports the City of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan
Goal 9 economic development objectives by:
•Encouraging efficient development/redevelopment of underutilized commercial land.
•Increasing business and employment opportunities through more intense use of existing
commercially viable lands.
•Encouraging retail and commercial activity in appropriately zoned portions of the city,
preserving industrial zoned lands for industrial jobs.
• supporting efficient regional multi-modal transportation for Tigard's residents in the
work force and regional commuters employed by Tigard-based companies by building
upon existing fixed rail infrastructure in downtown Tigard.
•Increasing opportunities for higher density housing and employment downtown and in
the Tigard Triangle.
A Vertical Housing Development Zone encourages private sector investments that support
our work force with housing for residents (employees), first story commercial spaces for
businesses and a "market making" proximity that pairs consumers with providers of goods
and services.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 10: Housing
A Vertical Housing Development Zone also supports the objectives of the City of Tigard's
comprehensive Plan Goal 10. This goal includes providing for a variety of housing types in the
City of Tigard. Recommended activities consistent with this goal highlight the importance of
using financial incentives and programs administered by the State of Oregon to develop
higher residential density in areas like Downtown and Tigard Triangle. These are priority areas
for higher density housing because of their proximity to transit corridors that support
employment opportunities and commercial services.
A Vertical Housing Development Zone is intended to induce private sector developers to add
higher density housing options in targeted parts of the City by reducing the initial financial
barriers to a project. It is well suited to targeted areas of the City where market forces of
supply, demand and financing have yet to create comparable projects for comparison.
DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Vertical Housing Development Zone (introduction) presentation on October 1, 2013.
Fiscal Impact
Fiscal Information:
A Vertical Housing Development Zone allows for a 10 year tax abatement on new buildings
up to 20% per floor for the first four floors above ground floor commericial. The abatement
can not exceed 80% of the value of the new building. The abatement applies to all taxing
jurisdictions that do not opt out when the zone is created. After 10 years, the full value of
the project is placed upon the tax roles. Property taxes on existing land, and at least 20% of
the new construction, are preserved.
For the City of Tigard, this is an issue of potentially foregoing some property tax revenue on
new construction within a targeted area. Will market driven multi-story mixed-use
development happen in targeted areas of the City without tools like this?
