Site Design Review SDR 45-78 Fanno Creek Apartments
Applicant: Frank Warlick
Request: For site plan and architectural review of a 48-unit apartment complex.
Location: 7415 SW Bonita Road (Wash. Co. Tax Map 2S1 12A Tax Lot 700) .
Previous Action: On February 27, 1979 the Planning Director approved MLP 21-78
Parking Requirements:
1.5 spaces per dwelling unit
48 units X 1.5 = 72 spaces
Site Plan and Architectural Review:
The applicant is proposing two, two-story apartment buildings facing
Fanno Creek. The buildings are sited on the edge of the 100 year flood-
plain/greenway area with a portion of the parking area in the flood-
plain/greenway. The applicant has yet to submit material samples and a
detailed plan showing parking area curbs.
The Applicable Conditions from MLP 21-78 Requires that:
1. That an additional 72 feet of right-of-way be dedicated to the City
on Bonita Road.
S.W. Bonita Road is designated as an arterial street with a right-of-way
width of 65' The site plan does not reflect the right-of-way dedication
necessary to bring Bonita up to standard width. The eastern parking area
will have to be modified to accommodate the public right-of-way and still
allow for a landscape buffer.
The proposed lighting for the parking areas and buildings is unnecessarily
bright in some areas and absent in others. Generally the complex should
be lit with more fixtures of lower wattage placed throughout the parking
areas and located on the buildings for resident safety and security.
A fence is required on the western boundary of the site, Length and height
to be approved by site design review.
The open space and the eastern parking area for the project lie within
the floodplain/greenway area as designated by the Environmental Design
and open space plan. A bikepath is planned for the greenway area as
part of the city's bike and pedestrian way plan.

The landscaping as proposed is adequate in quality. However the tulip
trees proposed for the eastern parking area could create a maintenance
problem and may not grow well with the pyracanthia. The planting islands
for the eastern parking lot are considerably narrower than the 8' required
planting island width.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. That the applicant submit a revised site plan showing the additional
right-of-way dedication, and the modified eastern parking area al-
lowing for adequate landscaping between the right-of-way and the
parking for the final design review approval.
2. That the landscape islands in the eastern parking area be widened to
8 feet.
3. That all parking areas be curbed.
4. That a lighting plan and color program be approved by site design
review prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit.
5. That some or all of the tulip trees be replaced with evergreen trees
in the parking areas.
6. That a half street improvement be done on S.W. Bonita Road to City
of Tigard standards. This supercedes Condition #2 of MLP 21-78.
7. That the flood plain area be landscaped and maintained for a period
of five years and that a bond be posted to assure compliance with
this condition.
8. That fence and mailbox details be approved by design review.
9. That the entire greenway area be dedicated to the City and that a
contract be drawn between the City and the developer for use of
the parking area.
10. No changes will be made to approved plans or specifications unless
formal application is made to the appropriate department and changes
are approved by that department. Application for changes will be
made in writing and shall include applicable drawings, engineering
specifications and other details requested by the department. No
construction shall take place in these instances until after the
changes have been approved. Any deviation from this condition will
result in the immediate posting of a stop work order on the project
or any portion of the project.
