ISSUE
A discussion of the issues and steps related to potential adoption of a proposed local
Transient Lodging Tax in Tigard on August 8, 2017.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Staff requests direction on holding a hearing to adopt a proposed local transient lodging tax
on August 8, 2017.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
During the Budget Committee deliberations for the FY 2016-17 budget, the committee
discussed a local transient lodging tax. The tax would be a General Fund revenue that could
be used to support $40,000 for the Tigard Downtown Alliance in the FY 2016-17 Budget.
The state of Oregon and its cities, counties and regional governments have the authority to
impose and collect taxes on paid overnight stays at lodging properties such as hotels, motels,
resorts, inns, bed & breakfasts or short-term home rentals. These taxes are known as transient
lodging taxes (TLT) and are a combination of state and locally assessed taxes. As of July 1,
2016, there is a state-wide tax rate of 1.8 percent; this rate will reduce to 1.5% on July 1, 2020.
In addition to the state wide tax, 15 counties and over 90 cities levy a local TLT. These local
taxes range from 1 percent to 13.5 percent. An Oregon Department of Revenue list of current
local TLT is attached for reference. It is important to note that the list does not include the
State TLT rate and does not show the cumulative tax rate for a jurisdiction. (For example, if
there is a "County-wide" rate listed, that amount is in addition to city rates within that county.
Conversely, if a county has an "Unincorporated" rate listed, that rate is only assessed outside
of cities and is not added to the listed city tax rate).
Recently the City of Beaverton enacted a local city TLT of 4 percent and City of Hillsboro
adopted a local city TLT of 3 percent. When these are added to the Washington County TLT
of 9% and the State of 1.8%, the total TLT in Beaverton is 14.8% and 13.8% in Hillsboro.
The Beaverton and Hillsboro TLT are subject to the requirement that at least 70 percent of
the revenue be spent on tourism related purposes. Beaverton's TLT is being collected and
administered through an IGA with Washington County and Hillsboro is planning a similar
IGA.
If Tigard took a similar action to enact a local TLT, the tax is estimated to generate
approximately $250,000 in additional revenue for each 1 percent tax rate increase. For
example, a 2% local TLT would generate approximately $500,000 in additional annual revenue
for the City. As mentioned previously, at least 70 percent of any revenue generated by a net
increase in the TLT rate would be required to be allocated for tourism promotion or
tourism-related purposes. The following table provides a comparison of the cumulative tax
rates for Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Hillsboro, and Bend.
Portland Beaverton Lake Hillsboro Bend

County 5.5% 9.0% 6.0% 9.0% 0.0% ' 9.0%

Total I 15.3% I 14.8% I 13.8% 13.8% 12.2% Fi 10.8%
Attached to this Agenda Item Summary are the following documents:
1. Draft Ordinance that Council could use on August 8, 2017 to adopt the TLT.
2. Draft Tigard Municipal Code that Council could pass via the Ordinance to establish the
TLT.
3. Oregon Department of Revenue list of cities and counties with TLT.
4. Document of example projects Tigard could undertake, including a financial analysis of
costs compared to example 2% TLT.
Some key points for Council discussion include:
1. How much of a tax to levy. The attached document shows the current range of tax
rates. For each 1% levied in Tigard, there will be $230,000 to $260,000 in revenue.
2. Collection by Washington County via an IGA. The attached ordinance permits both
collection by the city or by an IGA. Washington County already collects the county TLT
and is willing to collect Tigard's TLT. Washington County currently collects quarterly.
They have been provided with the draft TMC to discover if there are areas of the code
that would create administrative difficulties. Beaverton has an IGA with Washington
County to collect their local TLT.
3. The state allows a 5% collection fee to be retained by the lodging provider. Council
could allow a larger percentage. This is in section 3.85.150 of the proposed TMC.
4. Cities can require registration. This is covered in section 3.85.070 of the proposed
TMC, requiring registration and a "Certificate of Authority" that would be posted similar
to a business license or alarm permit.
5. Penalties for non-compliance are set in section 3.85.090.
6. Section 3.85.140 of the proposed TMC sets the use of the TLT funds as "general
funds of the City and may be used in any lawful manner, as prescribed by state law."
Under current state law, at least 70% of TLT collected needs to go to tourism promotion
or tourism related facilities. Some examples in Tigard are provided in the attached
document. The remaining 30% can be used for general governmental activities.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
Council could determine to forgo a transient lodging tax and find an alternate funding source
for the Tigard Downtown Alliance.
COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS
Provide recreation opportunities for people of Tigard.

TTLT—overview of a 2% increase in funding
Tigard Transient Lodging Tax
A 2% increase in the Tigard Transient Lodging Tax will generate about$500,000 per year in funding for
programs that support local tourism related programs.This revenue can be split into two categories—
70%for tourism programs and 30%for general fund purposes.
Eligible programs range from events and festivals to capital investments and facilities.The overarching
theme of these expenses--they attract visitors from 50 miles away and/or result in overnight stays at
local hotels.
Examples of Tourism Related Capital Investments
A BMX Bike Park that attracts bike enthusiasts and serves as a .-��'X
complimentary asset to the city's existing skate park.The graphic below

likely include Babe Ruth competition fields in Dirksen Park, and future
fields at the Lasich property off of Roy Rogers Road.

Tigard Street Heritage Trail -cultural and art exhibits.Adding art and cultural
features to the Tigard Street Heritage Trail provides a recreation opportunity for
visitors and tourists who spend the night in Tigard.This sculpture by Ben Dye,
currently anchoring one end of the Tigard Street Trail is on loan to the Tigard '
Downtown Alliance.A piece of art like this typically costs between $20,000 and J ,
$30,000. Over time,the City of Tigard can assemble a collection of art that
attracts visitors and tourists. -
Trail Connections to Hotels. Working with the City of Tigard's vision to become "the most walkable
community in the pacific northwest..." a natural use of this funding is to provide trail connections from
Tigard's growing network of trails to hotels where visitors are staying.This connects tourists to

recreation and health activities and in some cases can reduce reliance on vehicles.This expense could be
at least$40,000 per year or higher, depending upon the extent of the connection.
Examples of Cultural Programs and Events for Tourists
A Taste of Tigard Food Festival-Tigard is home to an interesting range of food and beverage
entrepreneurs and innovators like Koi Fusion,Jevo, Stash Tea, Indio Spirits, Custom Quality Distribution,
Max's Fanno Creek Brewery, McLesky Cellars, Zuniga Salsa, and a range of unique restaurants and
eateries. This group is rounded out by one-time Tigard firms like Townsend Tea, Brazi Bites and Scratch
& Grain Baking Co—all now national brands. The Taste of Tigard Food Festival celebrates food and
beverage entrepreneurs with a connection to Tigard and could be an event that attracts visitors and
tourists.The first event will take place on June 17, 2017 (Father's Day weekend). Special events that
appeals to visitors and tourist cost$20 to 30,000 per year to produce.
Marketing and Supporting Cultural Partners—organizations like Broadway Rose,the Balloon Festival
and the Tigard Downtown Alliance already produce events that appeal to locals. With extra financial
support they may be able to upgrade programming to appeal to out of area visitors and tourists.This
cost would range from $40 to $150,000 per year.
International Commerce—another way to place"heads in beds" is to host trade delegations from other
countries interested in building relationships with Tigard businesses and entrepreneurs.Through
partnerships with Greater Portland Inc and the Port of Portland,the City of Tigard could host a tour that
both creates visits from out of town guests and supports economic development.The estimated cost of
a project like this is about$10,000.
Marketing, Maintenance and Operations of new tourism infrastructure.The addition of new cultural
and tourism amenities like turf play fields, bike parks and outside art galleries creates an ongoing
expense to promote, encourage use and to operate/maintain. This expense could be at least$50,000
per year depending upon the extent of the initial investment.

Update on the City of Tigard Safe Routes to School program, including a recap of events and
program activities from this past school year and an overview of data regarding travel
behavior and barriers.
The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program is a city-wide program offered by the City in
partnership with the Tigard-Tualatin School District. The program advances the City's vision
to become "the most walkable community in the Pacific Northwest where people of all ages
and abilities enjoy healthy and interconnected lives."
The goals of the program are:
1. Reduce the number of driving trips to school
2. Educate families about the benefits of active transportation
3. Improve traffic safety and circulation around schools
4. Identify champions to build the program and sustain activities
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
N/A
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The cornerstone of SRTS is the acknowledgement that safer walking and biking routes can
best be accomplished through a combination of infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects
and programs. These are known collectively as the "5 E's:" Education, Encouragement,
Engineering, Enforcement, and Evaluation.
Encouragement:
•The SRTS program reached over 6,500 students and their families in the 2016/2017
school year through a variety of encouragement and education activities. The larger fall
and spring walk and bike to school events are the the most popular outreach events for
the program. On May 10, 40% of Tigard students walked or biked to celebrate National
Walk and Bike to School Day. This celebratory event demonstrated to educators, parents
and the community the enthusiasm for active transportation choices, while bringing
attention and awareness to the importance of safe routes for students. Additionally, the
SRTS coordinator and parent champions organized 18 monthly walk and bike to school
day events. These monthly events work to sustain the momentum and energy that the
larger events create throughout the school year.
•Suggested walking and biking route maps were recently completed for each elementary
school. These maps are available to families as a tool to find safe and convenient routes
to and from school.
•33 "Bike Fairy" packages were hung on bicycles. When children ride their bike to school,
the bike fairy sometimes visits while they are in class, leaving a small reward.
• 165 Templeton Trekker frequent punch cards were collected throughout the school year,
saving 1,650 car trips. This is the first full year for this encouragement tool and it is
expected to grow in popularity.
Education:
•This school year 508 students received an educational lesson in the form of: helmet
fittings, in-school pedestrian or bicycle safety class, bike rodeo, and walking school
buses. All C.F. Tigard third graders received a two-day pedestrian safety course taught by
the SRTS coordinator. This curriculum will be taught in the future by all current third
grade teachers at C.F. Tigard.
•The SRTS program purchased a fleet of bicycles to expand the education program.
Metzger Elementary fifth graders were the first to use the bicycles for a 10 day in-class
bicycle education course. The fleet consists of 30 bicycles, 115 helmets and one trailer to
transport the fleet to area schools and events.
•The SRTS coordinator partnered with the Tigard-Tualatin School District ("PTSD) art
literacy program to organize a walk and bike themed poster contest. The winning design
was incorporated into the poster for the May 10 walk and bike to school day event.
Engineering:
• School crossing signs were added to Sattler Street and 96th Street crosswalk.
•'School 20 When Flashing' speed limit sign upgrades along Durham Road for Durham
Elementary and Tigard High School (to be completed this summer).
•Sidewalks were constructed along Walnut Street adjacent to Fowler Middle School as
part of the larger Walnut St. project.
•Sidewalks were constructed along 90th Avenue near Metzger Elementary (Washington
County project).
Evaluation:
The SRTS coordinator worked to collect two types of data from each school. Data was
collected in order to understand how students get to and from school on a typical day as well
as to identify the parental barriers and concerns related to walking and biking.
Student Travel Tally:
Teachers collected in-class counts of students on a typical (non-encouragement event) day.
What this data shows is that the average combined walk/bike to school rate for Tigard is
11.9%. This number is slightly up since the last report to Council in December when the
combined walk/bike rate was reported at 9.2%. For comparison, in 1969, 48% of children
ages 5 to 14 typically walked or biked to school. Portland Public Schools estimates that more
than 30% of students walk or bike to school daily, and nationwide that number is 13%. This
2.7% increase can be attributed to highly engaged parent volunteers. Both Mary Woodward
and Templeton Elementary schools have sharpened and streamlined their efforts allowing
them to expand and further develop their programs. Alberta Rider Elementary is seeing
promise to be equally successful in the coming school year with the recent recruitment of a
parent volunteer.
Each school is slightly different in its walk/bike rate and how those modes are distributed.
These differences could be attributed to the presence of high speed, high volume roadways
adjacent to a school, terrain, or even income and racial make up of the school itself. However,
what is similar across all schools is the difference in AM vs. PM modes. The number of
parents driving their kids to school in the morning tends to be higher across all schools when
compared to the afternoon when school bus ridership and walking/biking rate is slightly up.
Parent Survey:
The second evaluation conducted was a parent survey. This survey asks a number of
questions centered on understanding barriers to walking and biking to school. The question
that is very telling for the SRTS program is: "What of the following issues affected your
decision to allow, or not allow, your child to walk or bike to/from school?" Survey takers are
then able to select all that apply from the list below.
•Safety of Intersections
•Amount of Traffic Along a Route
•Speed of Traffic Along a Route
•Distance
•Sidewalks or Pathways
•Weather
•Violence or Crime
•Adults to Walk or Bike With
•Time
•Crossing guards
•Convenience of Driving
•Child's Before or After School Activities
Of the 203 responders, 67% identified engineering or land use type barriers as their main
concern. These include: safety at intersection crossings (15%), the amount of traffic along
route (15%o), speed of traffic along route (14%), distance (12%), and sidewalks or sidepaths
(11%).

Agenda Title: Discuss the City's Approach to Panhandling
Prepared For: Kent Wyatt, City Management Submitted By: Kent

Management
Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Meeting Type: Council
Workshop
Mtg.
Public Hearing: No Publication Date:
Information
ISSUE
Discuss safety concerns related to panhandling in Tigard.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Receive Council input about whether current city actions to address panhandling should be
changed or updated. Consider using the Task Force for the Homeless as a vehicle to gage the
need to address panhandling in other ways than is currently done.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
In recent years, the City Council has held a number of discussions around their goal to define
the City's role in homelessness. One of the issues that arose from the discussions was
panhandling. Council directed staff to follow up with additional information which has been
gathered by consulting with the city attorney, Tigard Police Department, and other police
departments, including the City of Springfield, Oregon.
State Law
Courts have repeatedly defended panhandling as a First Amendment right, as long as it
doesn't turn overly aggressive or interfere with traffic.
The constitution gives a person a legal right to safely stand next to a road and exercise their
free speech. A city may not regulate the content of any sign or speech a person has
(regulation must be content neutral), may not prohibit a person from being in a safe location
next to a road (regulation must allow a person adequate channels of communication), and
must be specifically aimed at addressing a significant government interest (like public safety).
Tigard's Current Approach to Panhandling
Panhandling in Tigard is most commonly seen on the ramps to I-5 and 1-217 which is
property owned by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The Tigard Police
department has been designated the "person in charge" by ODOT at high traffic highway
ramps at:
•Highway 217 and Greenburg Road
•Highway 217 and Highway 99
•Highway 99 and Main Street
Such designation to act on ODOT's behalf is solely for the purposes of enforcing trespass
laws. Tigard Police officers are authorized by the designation to eject individuals who are in or
upon the highway ramps identified. This authority has been used on a limited number of
occasions.
Tigard Police respond to a few calls each week regarding panhandling throughout the city. In
responding to these calls, Tigard Police are empowered by Oregon Revised Statute 814.070 to
issue a Class D traffic violation for a pedestrian to take an improper position or improperly
proceed along a highway.
Other Cities
A limited number of cities - Medford, Grants Pass, Springfield, Sutherlin, and Roseburg—in
Oregon have ordinances specifically addressing homelessness and panhandling.
The cities of Roseburg, Springfield, and Sutherlin have enacted the most constitutionally
defensible ordinances on panhandling. Their ordinances prohibit a driver from giving
something to a person in the road. This approach addresses free speech considerations which
often arise in crafting an ordinance on panhandling.
In 2009, the Medford City Council banned panhandling at intersections, near ATMs and in
public parking lots. But a Jackson County Circuit Court struck down the ban, saying it
violated free speech. The city passed a looser ban against "abusive solicitation."
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
•The City Council may elect to maintain the status quo.
•The City Council may direct staff to engage ODOT in discussions about additional areas
where the City would be designated "person in charge."

Agenda Title: Downtown Parking Ordinance Introduction
Prepared For: Buff Brown, Community Development
Submitted By: Buff Brown, Community Development
Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Meeting Type: Council
Workshop
Mtg.
Public Hearing: No Publication Date:
Information
ISSUE
This agenda item is to introduce ordinance changes to include the concept of a new 4-hour
time-limited parking option and a permit system which exempts permit holders from the
4-hour time limit; update the abandoned vehicle portions of the ordinance; and to remove,
correct and clarify other parts of the ordinance that are outdated.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST
Provide input and feedback to the changes being considered to the ordinance. The
ordinance update is expected to be brought to council on August 22nd.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The exact language of the ordinance is still being developed. These changes fall into three
categories:
1. Updated Terminology and Clarification: These are minor changes due to new
terminology and to help clarify duties. These include minor changes to the ordinance
regarding what can and cannot happen, and one minor process change. This also
includes minor changes to the Abandoned Vehicle section (7.60).
2. Parking Regulation as Specified by Signage: A substantial number of provisions in Tigard
Municipal Code 10.28 are detailed descriptions of locations where particular parking
regulations apply. These details are being removed and replaced with language that
simply says, "...as specified by signage." On April 5, 2016, the City Council amended an
ordinance to give authority to the City Manager to make changes to parking through
managing the signage. These ordinance changes align with that amendment.
3. Permit Parking: These are additions to the code that create a 4-hour time limit and create
a permit option that exempts permit holders from the 4-hour time limit.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS
Strategic Plan: Goal 2: Ensure development advances the vision. Objective 1: ... Encourage
town center development and business expansion (Washington Square, Downtown, Triangle),
including high-density housing development around shopping, business and transit. City
Center Urban Renewal Plan: Goal #4: Downtown's streetscape and public spaces should be
pedestrian-friendly and not visually dominated by the automobile. Goal #5: Promote high
quality development of retail, office and residential uses that support and are supported by
public streetscape, transportation, recreation and open space investments.

TIGARD Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and City Councilors
From: Tom McGuire,Assistant Community Development Director
Re: Community Development Department - Planning Legislative Work Program
Date: June 27, 2017
This memorandum describes the major elements of the Community Development Department
Legislative Work Program for the second half of 2017 and beyond. This memorandum
provides narrative descriptions for each of the legislative (long-range planning) projects
scheduled within the next two years. A multi-year timeline is attached that illustrates the
timelines for each of the specific legislative projects described in detail below.
Legislative Projects
Tigard Triangle Lean Code
The city's planning effort in the Triangle seeks to diversify the existing mix of uses to
include housing and businesses that support people living and working in the Triangle.
The city is proposing a new code that would regulate development in the Tigard Triangle
differently than the existing code. The goal of the new code is to spur new development
by reducing regulations in ways that support the community's vision for transforming the
Triangle into a more walkable, safe, active and attractive neighborhood. This is a prime
opportunity to meet the City Strategic Plan goals over a large area.
Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Implementation Project (2040 Grant Application)
The goal of the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Implementation Project is to develop a
plan for strategic public investment in the Triangle that supports and catalyzes
redevelopment in the Triangle, specifically equitable development. With the citizens of
Tigard approving urban renewal in the Triangle, the city needs to decide how to invest
more than $188 million in urban renewal dollars in this area over the next 35 years.
Should Tigard be awarded the Metro Grant for the Implementation Project, the city will
develop an equitable development strategy that will allow us to analyze and prioritize the
first five years of urban renewal investments in infrastructure and guide public/private
investments in affordable housing and job creation. The goal of this project is to develop
a comprehensive investment strategy that effectively maximizes the value of urban
renewal dollars,leverages private sector investment, and achieves the City's
equitable development goals..
Code Amendments for Title 18 Process and Procedures
This project is under way and will update and improve those parts of the Development
Code pertaining to decision-making processes, as well as other requested changes. These
changes are necessary to correct known problems in the code that make clear and
consistent administration difficult, and prevent the efficient delivery of planning services
to the community. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed by the end
of 2017. This first phase is focused on a reorganization and renumbering of Title 18 as
well as specific code changes that can be made without any policy changes or discussion.
Approximately 20 chapters of the code are expected to be amended and the entire
Development Code will be re-ordered and re-numbered.
The second phase is made up of code amendments that involve policy changes needing a
more extensive public discussion. Bundled with this project are two additional
amendment packages, one containing a variety of implementation tools for moving the
Strategic Plan forward, primarily implementing Goal 2 of the Strategic Plan. The second
add-on package consists of code changes recommended in the Housing Strategies Report
(2013) that further the city's vision for future affordable housing. Included changes are:
• Cottage Clusters: Update Title 18 to add a new section specific to cottage clusters
• Live/Work Units: update the Development Code to add code provisions specific to
live/work apartments or townhouses in the C-C, C-G, and C-P zones
• Duplexes: Reduce the minimum lot size for duplexes in the R-7 zone from 10,000 sf
to 7,500 sf
• Attached Housing: Adopt "Single Family Attached" housing standards as
special development standards for use citywide
• Cottage Housing: Retain existing planned development standards and consider
adopting separate cottage housing provisions to address small scale projects
• Accessory Dwelling Units: Amend TCDC 18.710.020 to allow more opportunities for
ADUs as well as additional standards to address neighborhood compatibility. In
addition, consider waiving or reducing System Development Charges (SDCs) for
ADUs
Sensitive Lands Chapter Update
Chapter 18.775 is one of the most problematic chapters in all of Title 18 when it comes
to problems of interpretation and implementation. The code language is
incomprehensible in some areas and the whole chapter is in need of a complete re-write.
Additionally, due to federal lawsuits and the Endangered Species Act, Oregon
jurisdictions will likely have to make some code updates to comply with upcoming
changes in federal/state environmental regulations.
Planned Unit Development and Subdivision Chapters update
Chapters 18.350, 18.410, 18.420, and 18.430 are the sections of the Development Code
that regulate land division and creation of lots. These chapters need updating primarily
for modernization and to better support walkability and connectivity through Strategic
Plan Goal 2.
Update the Street and Utility Improvement Standards, Chapter 18.810
Many of the recommendations in the Strategic Plan Code Audit consisted of updates to
the street and utility standards. This project will be conducted jointly with Public Works
Engineering.
Code Changes in Support of Urban-Appropriate Agricultural Activities
This project will be focused on ways to accommodate select types of agricultural
activities that can be made appropriate for urban areas. The rise in popularity of backyard
chickens and other small livestock is one example. Other examples of ideas to be
explored are gardening for food production and sale, farm stands, and small scale
neighborhood gardens.
Future Projects
Code Amendments - Parking Code
In 2013, City Council adopted amendments to a portion of the parking code in Title 18
to eliminate some barriers to commercial development in response to a specific
developer's request. Those changes were only a start as all of the parking sections of Title
18 need to be completely overhauled and updated.
Code Amendments - Signs and Non-Conforming Use Chapters
The sign code and non-conforming use chapters are almost as difficult to implement as
the Sensitive Lands Chapter of Title 18. The sign code also needs to be reviewed and
updated to assure compliance with current state law.

and schools fun, easy, safe and healthy for all students and families while reducing traffic
around schools.
Southwest Corridor Project
This project is a comprehensive planning effort intended to support our regional
partners in the planning and construction of light rail to Tigard. If the project continues
to move forward there will be work to do on details related to permits and potential land
use reviews,planning for routes and adjacent infrastructure, and construction schedules.

economic development advocacy groups. We provide technical advice to the Tigard

CEO's and executives of local Tigard businesses.

Executive Issues—City Manager/Exec staff/Council
Periodically, letters and other inquiries are submitted to City Council or the City
Manager's office that are then passed down to Community Development for resolution.
These issues are varied and can involve ongoing land use cases, code compliance issues,
or any number of property issues.
