STAFF REPORT
Tigard Site Development Plan and Architectural Design Review Board
June 24, 1975
Agenda Item 5.1
SDR 17-75 (Tigard Water District Administration Bldg. )
Applicant's Request
Review of a proposed remodeling of an office building and fire
station at 8841 S. W. Commercial St.
Staff Findings
1. Drawings of the proposed remodeling do not show any pro-
posal for landscaping or site improvements.
2. Tigard Municipal Code requires compliance with the zoning
code (including landscaping, parking, access, etc. ) when
a building or the use of a building is altered or remodeled.
Pertinent code provisions would require adequate parking,
a 10 ' landscaped front yard on both streets , sight screening
of the parking area and legal driveway-street approaches.
3. Improvement of SW Commercial St. both visually and function-
ally is a strong possibility in the near future.
4. Special design considerations exist with respect to this
project that area a result of the fire station' s need for
exceptional visibility of the street when pulling out of
the station; the large evening usage of the building and
parking lot due to Municipal Court evening sessions; the
need for excess parking spaces available for the use of
fire district volunteers on call.
5. Modest landscaping of the building and the perimeter of
the parking lot, using low shrubs where vision interference
is a consideration, and using a landscape theme that could
include a couple large structural shade trees would improve
the appearance of the site, help the building environment,
and provide some constraint to the rather random parking
patterns that now occur in the parking areas.
6. Parking requirement for the Water District office , as pro-
posed, is a minimum of 6 parking spaces computed on a basis
of one space/500 sq. ft. , one space/two employees and one
space/establishment (3+2+1=6) .
Staff Recommendation
Approval with condition that landscaping areas to be provided
along both street frontages adjacent the parking area. Land-
scaping should provide low sight screening and some south
shade.
Memorandum
AMW To : Tigard Site Development Plan & Architectural Design Review Bd.
From: Planning Staff
Subject: McDonald' s
Mr. Mike Emert of McDonald's has requested an informal conference
with the Design Review Board concerning the staff ' s revision of
McDonald's site plan.
Following the May 27 meeting at which a site plan was approved,
McDonald 's revised their site plan for submission to the City Bldg.
Dept. It was the judgment of the planning staff, the building
official and the City Administrator that the plan submitted did
not conform to the Design Review Board' s approval. Accordingly,
we returned their site plan appropriately marked. Mr. Emert feels
somewhat vague about the intent of the DRB and wishes clarification
of the subject approval.
