A RESOLUTION ADOPTING GUIDELINES TO USE IN THE EVALUATION OF THE LOCATION
AND ACQUISITION OF PARK AND GREENWAY PROPERTIES
WHEREAS,the Tigard City Council recognizes the need for additional park and greenway properties in the
Tigard community; and
WHEREAS, past City Councils elected to not purchase or secure land for parks and greenways outside the
city limits; and
WHEREAS, the Tigard City Council has adopted an annual goal for 2005 to "Identify and Acquire Parks
and Open Space (greenway); and
WHEREAS, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board has also been given the task to: a.)evaluate potential
park and greenway needs, b.) obtain public input and support, and c.) make recommendations to the City
Council relating to the funding of these needs; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to adopt guidelines and an evaluation process to review offers of
donated property, and/or to accept property offered by developers in lieu of System Development Charges
(SDCs) for parks and greenways; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that state law requirements set forth that new development cannot
be forced to pay for any current deficiencies Tigard has in its parks and greenway inventory.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Tigard City Council that the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board and staff are directed to:
SECTION 1: Evaluate all park and greenway donation offers and potential property purchase and submit
a staff recommendation to the City Council for each donation and/or property purchase.
SECTION 2: Prioritize the search and evaluation of future park sites to those areas identified as currently
underserved (the City's adopted Park System Master Plan defines "underserved" areas as
areas not within one-half mile of a neighborhood park).
SECTION 3: Allocate use of City general funds for purchases that reduce current park deficiencies and
use park SDCs for acquiring land needed for current and future growth.
SECTION 4: Look to serve those areas which will become park deficient over time.
SECTION 5: Look to purchase or obtain parcels of land with some size as compared to multiple, non-
contiguous, small parcels if possible.
SECTION 6: Consider and evaluate the acquisition of suitable property outside the City limits.
