SITE DESIGN REVIEW 2-78 HUNZIKER INDUSTRIAL PARK
Request : For site plan and architectural review of an
84,000 square foot warehouse .
Applicant : Blake Hering
Site Location and gescription:
S .W. Hunziker Rd. & S .W. 77th Place (Wash. Co. Tax Map 2S1-lBD,
Lot 101.) . The lot is relatively flat with no significant
vegetation. The -site is highly visible from S .W. Hunziker
and Highway 217 .
Proposed Use : The applicant is proposing to build a warehouse for
multi-tenant use .
Previous Action:
MLP-9-76 - On December 21, 1976 , the Tigard Planning Commission
approved a minor land partition for the site in question. Lot
101 ' s east boundary line is detailed differently from that
approved by the Planning Commission. This deviation should be
recorded with the City of Tigard and Washington County.
Required Parking:
i Projected warehouse space 75 ,600 t 1 ,000 = 75 . 6
Projected office space 8,400 _ 350 = 24.0
'99.b, or 100 spaces
Site Plan and Architectural Review:
The applicant is proposing to build on 84,000 square foot
warehouse approximately 600 ' long and 140' wide. This is an
unusually large building for the Tigard area, and therefore, raises
the following concerns :
The site is highly visible from both Hunziker Rd. and Hwy 217 .
It is the intent of design review to present an aesthetic view to
the public . This location is not only viewed by community traffic ,
but also will represent Tigard to the through traffic on Hwy. 217 .
When dealing with a building of this scale , an effort should
be made to minimize or eliminate adverse visual effects . The
architect has proposed to use exposed aggregate concrete tilt-up
and metal canopies to achieve this aim. Staff has had several
meetings with the architect and applicant on this matter, and has
come to the conclusion that while the use of exposed aggregate is
commendable, it ' s impact will be negligible - especially for Traffic
on Hwy. 217 . The canopy placement (across the front of the building,
with very small breaks) could add to the repetitiveness of the
building. Since the purpose of design review is "to stimulate
creative design" , the architect should further explore a means of
treating such a large building mass .
A review of the site plan is not relevant at this point, since
possible architectural changes could alter it . However, it should
be noted that the preliminary landscape plan demonstrates a great

Staff Recommendations
Staff recommends denial , and suggests that the standard fee be
waived, and a revised plan be submitted which:
1 . Visually breaks up the excessively long and redundant
facade of the building.
2 . Reserves the frontages on Hunziker and 217 for the proposed
office tenants in order to offer a more aesthetic exposure
to these two roadways . For example, office space will allow
for window placement and possibly a lower profile, (e .g. ,
pitched roof) as opposed to the blank wall at the end of the
warehouse.

TIGARD DESIGN REVIEW
February 23, 1978
12420 SW Main St .
Tigard, Oregon
SDR 50-77 Canterbury Woods Apartment
Applicant : Peter Hoffman
Request :
For site plan and architectural review of a 76 unit , multi-
family housing project .-
Location :
roject .Location :
SW 109th Avenue (Wash. Co. Tax Map 2S1_10AD, Tax Lot 8800)
The site is bordered on the north and east by apartments and
109th Street on the south by a single family home and on the
west by a vacant parcel .
Site Designation :
The site is zoned A--2 Planned Development and designated as
a Transitory area from "Residential-Commercial" to "Urban
Low Density Residential" in the Tigard Community Plan 1971.
Proposed Use :
�rrr
The applicant is proposing to build 76 multi-family units in
accordance with the approved planned development .
Site Description:
The site is 7. 16 acres in size and slopes to the south with an
approximately 40 ' grade change from the north property line to
the south. Three quarters of the site is in climax growth fir
trees .
Previous Action :
ZC 4-75 On November 8, 1976, the Tigard City Council approved a
76 unit planned development subject to the following conditions :
1. . That S111 109th Avenue be improved to City standards of 34 '
pavement width on a 50 ' right-of-way from its existing
end point through the intersection with the southerly loop
drive entirely on the applicant ' s property and a 25 ' right-
of-way be provided along the rest of the paree:l. 's west
property line . The transition from the 50 foot right-of-
way section to the 25 foot right-of-way section will occur
on the applicant ' s property , thereby necessitating the
dedication of a triangular shaped parcel (B on map) .
Page 2
SDR 50-77
2 . The areas along the loop drive not shown for
parking spaces
be signed to prohibit parking along that street .
3. A 15 ' wide easement for public sewers be established.
4. All sidewalk and trails terminate in wheelchair ramps.
r
5. Street lights to P.G.E. standards for Engineering Division
approval .
6. The trail shown in the northern half of the development ' be
5 ' asphalt paths and the trail on the southern portion be
left natural with minimal improvements of crushed gravel
of three to four inches of compacted bark.
7. A minimum of six picnic tables be established within the
forested area; design and location subject to approval by
Planning Director.
8 . Additional right-of-way to be acquired on southerly point
of proposed improvement of 109th, in order to allow transition
of road to connect with presently dedicated part of 109th
to the south.
Site ' Plan and Architectural Review:
The applicant is proposing to construct 9, two-story buildings around
a circular loop road. Each building incorporates a landscaped
court yard, garages and covered decks . The siding is specified
as either stained cedar or light brown aluminum. Since the main
theme of the Planned Development was to blend. the units into
the natural setting, cedar siding would be preferred.
The major concern with the site, is that as many trees as possible
be saved. Because of the dense growth, a tree survey is infeasible
at this stage, however, after the grading of the loop road a
tree survey should be done in order to determine the exact
location of parking spaces and buildings . Those trees which
will be adjacent to construction activity should be examined
by a certified tree surgeon for the necessary branch and root
pruning, and treatment for changes in grade.
A landscape plan has been submitted for the northern portion of
lot which is devoid of vegetation. Landscape material is sparce
and not in compliance with the planned development program which
proposed "Those areas north of the tree line will be planted
with deciduous trees of various heights and types to harmonize
with existing landscaping . . , Each building will be adequately
planted with low shrubs , i . e . , azalias , rhododendrons , etc. "

SDR 5Q-77
Therefore a revised landscape plan and irrigation plan for the
portion north of the tree line . fulfilling this portion of the
Planned Development program should be received prior to
issuance of a building permit . Details for dumpster screens,
mailboxes, and picnic areas should also be included in this
submission. A landscape plan for the area south of the tree
line should be received before issuance of occupancy permits . The
reasoning behind this deviation from normal procedure is that a
better plan can be designed after the buildings are in place since
it will coincide with vegetation loss due to construction activity.
The site plan also `'specifies a large number of trees to be removed
around the recreation building and lawn installed in their place.
According to the adopted Planned Development program "Areas within
the tree line will be left as much as possible in their natural
state . . . preserve the major grouping of tall fir trees" .
Therefore the trees should be retained in this area and the
cleared portion of the site used for activities that require lawn.
According to the Tigard Police Department the proposed project
is in one of higher crime areas of the City . Since the Planned
`4w- Development incorporates a trail system through heavily wooded
areas it was their concern that some type of lighting be provided at
points along the trail and near the picnic areas. Therefore the
plan should be revised to include decorative vandal-resistant
lights in the appropriate locations.
Code requirements for parking have been fulfilled, however it is
staff 's experience that overflow parking for guests should be
provided when possible . It is appropriate for this development in
particular since double parking in the loop road could cause a
great deal of congestion. Therefore additional parking should be
added where possible along the northern property line.
No drainage or grading plan has been submitted. These should be
submitted for Planning and Building Departments approval and
should be oriented so as to have a minimum impact on the site.
Staff Recommendation :
Staff recommends approval as submitted with following conditions :
1 . Exterior siding be cedar with natural stain .
2 . The following steps be .followed in construction of the Planned
Development :
14,1W
