ORDINANCE No. 16-a
Page 1 +
SECTION 1: The Plan complies with all requirements of ORS Chapter 457 and the specific criteria of
457.095(1) through (7), in that, based on the information provided in the Report, the
Planning Commission Recommendation,and the public testimony before the City Council:
1. The process for the adoption of the Plan, has been conducted in accordance with the
provisions of Chapter 457 of the Oregon Revised Statutes;
2. The area designated in the Plan as the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Area is blighted,
as defined by ORS 457.010(1) and is eligible for inclusion within the Plan because of
conditions described in the Report in the Section "Existing Physical, Social, and
Economic Conditions and Impacts on Municipal Services," including the existence of
inadequate streets and other rights-of-way, open spaces, and utilities and
underdevelopment of property within the Area(ORS 457.010(1)(e) and(g));
3. The rehabilitation and redevelopment described in the Plan to be undertaken by the
Agency is necessary to protect the public health, safety or welfare of the City because
absent the completion of urban renewal projects, the Area will fail to contribute its fair
share of property tax revenues to support City services and will fail to develop and/or
redevelop according to the goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan;
4. The Plan conforms to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan and documented ancillary
documents and provides an outline for accomplishing the projects described in the
Plan, as more fully described in the Plan and in the Planning Commission
Recommendation;
5. No residential displacement will occur as a result of the acquisition and disposition of
land and redevelopment activities proposed in the Plan and therefore the Plan does not
include provisions to house displaced persons;
6. The acquisition of real property provided in the Plan is necessary for the development of
transportation-related infrastructure improvements in the Area and for the
development of public spaces because the Agency does not own all the real property
interests (e.g., rights-of-way, easements, fee ownership, etc.) that will be required to
undertake and complete these projects as described in Chapter N of the Plan and
Section V of the Report;
7. Adoption and carrying out the Plan is economically sound and feasible in that eligible
projects and activities will be funded by urban renewal tax revenues derived from a
division of taxes pursuant to section 1c, Article IX of the Oregon Constitution and
ORS 457.440 and other available funding as more fully described in the Section
"Financial Analysis of the Plan" of the Report;
8. The City shall assume and complete any activities prescribed it by the Plan;and
9. The Agency consulted and conferred with affected overlapping taxing districts prior to
the Plan being forwarded to the City Council.
SECTION 2: The Tigard Urban Renewal Plan is hereby approved based upon review and consideration
by the Tigard City Council of the Plan and Report, the Tigard Planning Commission
Recommendation,each of which is hereby accepted,and the public testimony in the record.
