Sean briefly discussed updates that were included as part of the agenda packet.
5. FUTURE OF THE SAXONY SITE
The RFP resulted in one bid from consultant Suenn Ho (RESOLVE). The property is located within
the flood plain and floodway resulting in additional issues to consider. There are approximately 12,000
square feet of private development available. It would be best for a developer to be involved early in
the process to make sure the plans are feasible. All existing contamination must be addressed. There is a
requirement to repay the park bond the value of the property used for private development.

7. REVIEW URBAN RENEWAL PLAN PROJECTS AND
DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES
Carine reviewed her notes on urban renewal projects including priorities,incentives,additional
considerations and references. Councilor Henderson recommended reviewing the CIP list in order to
elevate higher priority projects and consider the Community Development Block Grant funding. Carine
identified the Infrastructure Finance Authority as a possible funding source.
8. TACTICAL URBANISM
Sean distributed copies of the book "Tactical Urbanism: Short-term Action for Long-term Change".
Councilor Henderson ordered the book for the CCAC and noted it is thought provoking,with articles
about improving walkability. CCAC will review the book and decide if there are any areas of focus
before discussing it at the August meeting.
9. COMMUNITY CENTER BALLOT MEASURE DISCUSSION
Council will decide whether to refer the matter to voters in November,what language to incorporate,
and if a provider of services such as YMCA should be included in the bond measure. Sean will search
for other studies and the CCAC will submit questions to him regarding the effects of siting a YMCA in
downtown. He will invite Messrs. Bob Hall (President and CEO of YMCA Columbia-Willamette) and
Neal Brown to answer them and to attend the next meeting.
10. ASH AVENUE CROSSING OF RAILROAD AND NORTH DAKOTA
BRIDGE CROSSING

Agenda item 5
Excerpt from Informal Request for Proposals (IRFP) for Tigard Mixed Use/Public Space Design
(Saxony properties)
SCOPE OF SERVICES
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Tigard and its urban renewal agency (the City Center Development Agency, or CCDA) invite an
architectural firm-led team to help determine the future of key city-owned property in the Tigard downtown
Urban Renewal Area. The approximately 19,000 square foot-site includes 200 lineal feet of frontage on Main
Street, where a recently completed $3.5 million green street project vastly improved the street's public ROW
with neu- landscaping, street trees, streetlights, furniture, public art and safer pedestrian crossings. Frontage
improvements on Main Street are complete. Fanno Creek and the Fanno Creek Trail run alongside the
western edge of the property. The city is in die process of securing a Prospective Purchaser Agreement for
the site, and intends to clear the site of all environmental liability risk. T'l1e site is within the city's Vertical
Housing Development 'Lone_
Developer Teaming
The city envisions an innovative "Developer Teaming" approach for this project with the goal of starting
redevelopment of the site no later than April 2017. Within this scope of work, the consultant team is
expected to select a developer (or development advisor) to play an active role in shaping the plans. By
involving a developer partner early, cleaning up the site, clearing the existing stnactures, creating an
architecturally exciting concept and absorbing the costs of entitling the project, the CODA expects
development of the site to be marketable and financeable by late 2016.
The developer involved with the consultant team will have the tight of first refusal to purchase dhe entitled
property, (subject to review by the City Council/Board of the CCDA.) The city intends to sell the property at
market value (approximately $500,000). The IRFP response should describe how a developer/development
advisor will be involved in the project and the proposed Mature of the partnership.
Architectural Distinction
The city recognizes that this site, which is both pro;ninent and constrained, might need a building of
architectural distinction to help realize its potential. An architecturally memorable building,if developed, can
help build on downtown Tigard's growing reputation as an up-and-coming, exciting Town Center..
Respondents are encouraged to demonstrate how their team has utilized the power of architecture to raise the
development prospects of an urban infill site, and/or to suggest how a distinctive design might support the
goals of this project. This could include a flexible structural system that night accommodate a variety of uses
or programs, elements of style or surprise that would allow this site to add spice or job' to the Main Street
streetscape, and/or a special treatment of the rooftop or creekside that would take :advantage of the site's
unusual setting. In all cases,the project must became a financially feasible development and any architectural
"moves" must be economical. Further, the city has an adopted Strategic Vision to become the most walltable
communiq, in the Pacific Northwest where people of all ages and abilities enjoy healthy and interconnected
lives. Therefore the building's urban design choices need to support walkability and demonstrate an
understanding of the human scale and experience inside the building and out.
2.PROJECT COMPONENTS
The following constitutes the components of work for the project. Consultants are invited to add, dclete or
modif, these work areas or to suggest alternative approaches in their response.
Site Analysis
Building code, development code, and natural resource issues related to the site must be reviewed and
identified. City staff will be available to assist with research into code questions.
Agenda item 5
Public Space Analysis
One possible use for the site is a public plaza. The city has a longstanding goal of creating a public plaza
downtown. Respondents are strongly encouraged to include in the approach a study of the feasibility of
creating successful public space on all or part of the site. Tlnis should be done early in the design and
developtnent-readiness process.
One of the site's existing buildings is built over Fanno Creek on piers. The piers Avere determined to be
structurally sound,and the city is interested in seeing them reused for a new deck structure to make full use of
the site. Further research with Clean Water Services, army Corp of Engineers, and other applicable agencies
is needed. Cance the feasibility of reusing the piers is clarified, a recommendation of the optimal size of any
programmed public space should be made. Such a space could be part of a ground floor retail or restaurant
establishment.
Development Proposal
Attachment?is a market study prepared for the CCDA for this site within the last year, Based on this study
and any others that the selected consultant team might elect to prepare, a development proposal must be
made, determining building size, mix of uses, public space programming (if any) and parking solution. The
CCDA expects that the ground floor use will activate the street frontage.
Upper floor uses may be residential,office,or flex..
• Zoning: Mixed Use Central Business District(MU-CBD)
• Aeight limit: 45 feet
• Maximum density; 50 units an acre
• Parking requirements: No minimum parking requirement for non-residential development under. 20,000 sf.
Residential development requires 1 space per dwelling unit(NNith potential adjustment to reduce)
• Environmental: the entire site is within the 100 year floodplain, Approximately 7500 square feet is within
the Fanno Creek floodway
•A Sensitive Lands Review application will be required
Site and]Building Design Plans
Based on the development proposal, the architects will produce dra\.vzgs necessary to communicate the
design concept to all audiences, including the urban renewal advisory committee, city Planning and
Engineering development review staff,and the general public. The drawing set will need to progress,through
the course of the project, to attain land use approvals and any related approvals necessary to apply for
building permits. (Building permit application is not`6thin this scope).
Cost Estimates and Preliminary Pro-Forma
Consultant must cost estimate the project so to:
• Determine hard construction costs, infrastnicture and utility costs and soft costs including permit fees,
professional fees,and financing costs
Develop a pro forma financial analysis including projected expenses, revenues, returns and fees. All
operating and financing costs must be included,to determine if there is projected financial gap.
• If a portion of the site is to be designed for public space,a cost estimate of this component can be provided
separately.
Entitlements
The consultant team will take the project through the land use approval process.This will include:
*Pre-application conference
• Obtaining Clean Water Services Service Provider Letter
• Neighborhood meeting(required for Sensitive Land Aevievv)
•Making land use application, including Sensitive Land Review before Hearings Officer
Agenda item 5
Public Involvement
The consultant team is expected to attend various public and community meetings and to assist city staff in
snaking presentations to groups including the Board of the CCDA, CCAC (the urban renewal advisory
cormrtittec), and the Parks and Recreation Board. 6-10 such meetings are anticipated. An open house during
the design phase may also be scheduled,with city staff as the lead organizers.
The required neighborhood meeting for the Sensitive Lands Review will be orgarired by the city, with the
consultant attending and doing a short presentation. It is expected that the consultants would not need to
budget more than 25-40 hours (total) for these meetings.
The budget for this project is $95,000.

the north end that provide inspiration for

(Southern Pacific and the Oregon Electric)crossed
each other using a railroad"diamond". Later,the

The location of"Southern Pacific Plaza"is
physically significant because it is the interface
with the Tigard core area,but the name is
erroneous,as that spot was never occupied by
the Southern Pacific. It was,however,the
location of the Oregon Electric Station. The SP
ran where the surviving rails still are,and are
used by freight trains and the WES today. `
1 think we should consider alternative names
such as"Station Plaza"or"Oregon Electric
Plaza",or"Depot Plaza".

s if a matter is to be referred to the voters. If the Council Wishes to refer a

KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
On May 12, the City Council receINFed a presentation and briefing from Daxko Consulting for
a jointly-funded survey conducted for the City of Tigard and YMCA. The City Council has
received citizen communication indicating a desire for a center operated by the N7MCA in
Tigard.
At the Council's meeting of May 26, the Council advised that they would like to place a bond
measure on the November 2015 ballot to build a community center in Tigard operated by the
Y,lv f C, A.
The Council is at a decision point to determine how the: creation of a community center
operated by the YMCA would fit within city priorities. Tigard could either go forward with a
public investment in land,building, and partnership for services, or choose to refine a
proposal further, or not pursue a partnership for a community center.
Council guidance from May 26 included:
•A voter-approved capital bond measure of about $30 million (equivalent to $10/month
for a.Tigard home of average value)
•A building size of about 60,000 square feet
•Building features to include a svomming pool and facilities for fitness
•A time limit to build a facility (four years was suggested)
•Some distance from downtown Tigard
Staff and the CA), Attorney are drafting alternatives for language for a November, 2015 ballot
measure for Council consideration that will be available for the June 2 meeting.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
- The City Council could take time to further refine a proposal to refer to Tigard voters. This
could include providing more definition as to the cost, programming, location, and
partnership opportunities for a future community center facility-.
- The City Council could direct an agreement With the YMCA be negotiated before referring a
question to Tigard voters.
- The Council could take no action.
