Absent: President Fyre; Commissioner Hawley.
Staff: Associate Planner John Acker and Planning

Associates Corporation.
3. TIGARD TRIANGLE WORKSHOP "
o Associate Planner John Acker reviewed the last two study meetings of the 7:
Planning Commission and the meeting of City Council , in which evaluation
criteria were looked at. He noted that the Planning Commission
expressed a preference for alternative C. When meeting with NPO 4, it
was their strong desire, he said, to have parks, open spaces, and
pedestrian pathways within an urban style development. He advised that
the NPO preferred a design that would be practical and implementable.
o Associate Planner talked about evaluation criteria and he handed out the
Final Draft of the Development Scenario Evaluation Criteria from i
Benkendorf Associates (Exhibit A). He asked Commissioners to read
through the evaluation criteria and requested that each Commissioner
rank the four most important items.
{
7:55 PM - Commissioner Moore arrived. }
o Mr. Benkendorf and Associate Planner Acker listed on a chart the k
compiled information concerning Commissioners' preferences. He replaced
the word "other" with the word "implementation" which was the fourth
section on this draft. There was discussion about each section and the
importance of the various listed items. x
o Associate Planner noted that the emphasis appeared to be on two areas:
(1 ) the Transportation section, item 4 "Assures development of a ►
circulation system that is supportive of the development and i
redevelopment of the Triangle;" and (2) the Urban Form section, item 1 1
"Establishes a living and working environment that complements the rest
of the community."

t,
o Discussion fo( wed about adding more parks an �pen space, and about <<
where this language should be in the criteria. It was agreed that this ii
would fit into the Urban Form section, probably item 2.
o Associate Planner further explained the reasons for selecting a limited $
set of criteria which would provide a means for evaluating the plan.
Consensus was that many of the elements were inter-related and some II
terms needed definitions for clarification.
o The concept of "Urban Development Character" was discussed, and there
were comparisons made with areas in Portland as examples of typical
elements. The need for mixed uses was discussed with the accompanying 1
residential and occupational requirements.
o The wording of statements in the evaluation criteria were considered. 1
g suggestions were made:
The following su 99 0
Commissioner Saxton: Urban Form #2, "Provides a living and working i fi
'`
environment not now available in the City;" add / 4
the words "urban development with parks and 44
open space." 4
fi
Commissioner Saporta: Transportation #4, "Assures development of a
circulation system that is supportive of the
development and redevelopment of the Triangl �
add the words "and provides pedestrian and o ,'
bicycle paths."
R
Commissioner Barber: Transportation item 1 and 2 may not need to be
stated, as they would be the natural outcome if 4
items 3 and 4 were chosen. ii
Commissioner Boone: Choose one statement for each of the four main 4
sections. 14
o Commissioners agreed that in Transportation section items 2, 3 and 4
could probably be combined into one sentence, such as: "Assures
development of a circulation system that is supportive of the 1
development and redevelopment of the Triangle, and encourages the use of 4
transit, pedestrian, and bicycle paths and complementary land uses."
Another suggestion was to combine Transportation items 2 and 3 to read: 4`
"Provides land uses and densities that are supportive of transit by i
ti; providing transit, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and complementary land
uses." 44
Regarding Other section (Implementation) item 1 , Commissioner Saxton Vi
suggested that staff fashion some language for this item.
Associate Planner asked Commissioners if the language of the criteria
would work for them, and the consensus was yes, these criteria would be
acceptable.

1 o Mr. Benkendor'�.,,-presented maps showing proposed(p4an alternatives D and
E. These maps demonstrated the size and placement of residential ,
commercial , and park/open space areas and the road system. The plans
differed in that Plan D had more Residential , while Plan E had more
Professional Commercial and General Commercial , minimizing Residential
area. He handed out sheet entitled "Land Allocation Comparison of
Existing Zoning" which showed the amount of land by use as it now exists
and as it would be allocated in alternatives D and E .
o Mr. Benkendorf answered questions and Commissioners discussed the two
alternatives. There was discussion as to number of units per acre
allowed, and heights for high-rise buildings.
o To allow mixed use and flexibility, a designated overlay zone north of
Dartmouth was suggested. Consensus was it would be a good idea to do
this.
o There was consensus that Alternative D was the preferred alternative
with an overly zone north of Dartmouth to allow mixed use and
flexibility.
4. RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION (Schumacher)
Associate Planner John Acker described the Right-of-Way applied for by
Mr. Schumacher. After discussion, it was agreed this item could be
decided without public hearing, as Associate Planner was informed this
was proper. Associate Planner agreed to check on this to make sure this
could be done.
* Commissioner Castile moved and Commissioner Moore seconded to recommend
to City Council approval of the Right-of-Way Vacation. Motion passed by
majority vote of Commissioners present, with Commissioner Fessler voting
"Nay."
5. OTHER
o There was a brief review of the upcoming December meetings.
o Commissioner Fessler requested that copies be provided showing the newly
chosen Tigard Triangle Alternative D on a map with details. Associate
Planner agreed to provide these to Commissioners.
