establish a factual base. She stressed that the process must comply with
Metro's 2040 compliance process and with statewide planning goals.
Shields noted that Commissioner Bienerth will meet with Council tomorrow night
to discuss the draft letter to Metro on Tigard's sense of place (Exhibits A and B).
The Commission reviewed the "Smart Growth" principles (Exhibit C) and the
distinction from Metro's 2040 growth concept and their fundamental values
(Exhibit D). It was referred to as "new urbanism". Assistant Planner Beth St.
Amand gave a PowerPoint overview (Exhibit E) of the Smart Growth concept.
Shields talked about the need to identify a sense of balance and how it relates to
Metro's 2040 legal requirements. President Padgett remarked that Tigard has
had a traditional style of planning — separate zoning for residential, commercial,
and industrial areas. Until recently, there was no mixed use zoning.
Shields advised that the Commission will discuss a public involvement plan in
March. She noted that for the update, the stakeholders will include the whole
community.
Beth St. Amand reported on a perceived idea with the Downtown Task Force about
not enough parking spaces in the downtown area. After completing a parking
survey, they discovered that there is sufficient parking downtown.
Barbara Shields asked the Commission what they thought their role should be in
the "Factual/Data Collection and Analysis" Phase. The Commissioners had the
following ideas:
> brainstorm and identify some of the things out there and what we think might be
helpful to provide for the inventory (secondary information)
➢ a thoughtful discussion about stakeholders — the stakeholders could have
information about needs of the community (they could be a network of experts
for economic development)
> the Planning Commission will act as a sounding board for the community —
translate their ideas into the framework of the Comprehensive Plan (distill
information)
It was noted that the goal of the inventory is to identify parcels and use of parcels.
It was also noted that the Commission would have to be objective during the
process.
6. OTHER BUSINESS
Commissioner Webb provided an update on the Park and Recreation Advisory
Board. She noted that the Board would be distributing a survey on what people
want in their parks.

commuter rail. She advised that the Task Force would also be doing a survey. The
Task Force will have open meetings to incorporate community involvement.

subcommittee for planning. She also advised that Council would be looking into
annexing those areas in Bull Mountain that have signed non-remonstrance
agreements.

DRAFT A
February 5, 2004 O‘t\P
Gerry Uba
Metro
600 NE Grand Ave.
Portland, OR 97232
RE: Performance Measures Survey
Dear Gerry:
The City of Tigard received Metro's Performance Measures survey and request to
comment upon our community's physical sense of place. In response,Tigard
considered the survey questions at the Planning Commission meeting on January 26,
2004 and the City Counci3 meeting on February 24, 2004. The City's observations
follow:
The City of Tigard occupies a unique location in the Portland area, defined by both
natural features and major transportation thoroughfares. It was built upon a
traditional zoning approach with separation of uses, but also a diversity of uses
(commercial, industrial, residential). Tigard also possesses a number of physical
features that help define its sense of place,based on the survey's attribute list:
• The City has a distinct Downtown area (without common areas) with
small businesses, however the future commuter rail transit station may
become a "common area."
• The Fanno Creek Greenway Trail winds through Tigard, connecting
neighborhoods to one another and to the Civic Center. Cook Park is the
City's communal backyard, sited on the Tualatin River.
• Both the Washington Square Regional Center and the Tigard Triangle
are distinct commercial areas with separate development code
regulations.
• Although Tigard does not have Metro-designated Main Streets, state
highways OR99W and Hall Blvd. are the primary "streets" in the City.
OR99W in particular runs through the middle of Tigard, carrying
traffic through the City. Much of this traffic is by non-Tigard residents
using the street as a transportation corridor. Highway 217 has a
peripheral impact on traffic patterns in the City, since a number of trips
are by local residents using the highway,in effect, as a local street.

DRAFT
• The community's street design follows typical suburban design with
residential cul-de-sacs and limited connectivity.
• The City gains its greatest sense of place from its diverse topography
and natural features,including trees. From Bull Mountain and little
Bull Mountain, to the lowlands along the Tualatin River on the south,
and the lower "bowl" elevation in between, Tigard residents identify
with the City's strong physical presence.
• Washington Square Mall is a regional shopping draw.
The above list summarizes Tigard's primary elements that contribute to its sense of
place. However,it should be noted that some of these features also present challenges,
particularly those that are transportation-related, with respect to funding and local
control. These challenges will continue as our community continues to grow and will
• require innovative approaches involving all of our government partners.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Best regards,
Craig Dirksen Mark Padgett
