NPO# 3 REGULAR MEETING
JANUARY 19, 1987
Tigard Civic Center
1. Call to order at 7:35 P.M.
2. Roll Call: Present: were Bledsoe, Mortensen, Porter, Ramsdell, and
Bednarek; staff present was Keith Liden.
3 . Minutes of April 7, 1986 were read and approved. Letter of June 6, 1986
was read and approved.
4. By a vote of 4-•0 (one abstention) NPO #3 makes the following
recommendation to the City Council:
"As a general policy the rezoning of designated residential land to
commercial uses is highly undesirable. This places great stress on
the City' s adopted plan. The planned zoning was arrived at with
difficulty after much public input. This practice will result in
ever increasing densities on the remaining undeveloped residential
land.
We doubt that Albertson' s has established the need for the zone
change they request.
We oppose upzoning "parcel K" from R-4.5 to R-2.0 as also does the
nearby Ames Orchard Homeowners Association which represents 20 homes
on acre lots .
We also oppose the upzoning of of "Parcel L" and "Parcel M" from
R--4.5 to R-7. We have long maintained that the higher densities
should be located nearer the arterials.
If the City Council approves the rezoning of the Albertson properties
from high density residential to commercial, it should make its first
attempt with LCDC the recognition of credit for properties like the
Pacific Highway--Bull Mountain Road site that went from commercial to
high density residential (the exact opposite of the present case) .
It should be remembered that LCDC did not recognize any housing units
in the C P zones (of which the above site was one) and that
therefore the Council was forced to change the R-20 zone to R-25. It
is inappropriate that adjustments should be made only upward, with no
credit or consideration for changes that work in the reverse
direction. "

5. Concerning the "Beachview Estates" at the western boundary of NPO #3, the
NPO makes the following recommendations:
a. Private roads should have sidewalks on at least one side.
b. The development should show a future public road going east from the
subdivision to connect in the future with the "Murray Blvd .
Extension" minor collector between Gaarde and 135th. This
development should not be planned to use SW 132nd Avenue as its only
access .
6. It was decided by default that the officers shall remain the same as
previously.
7. Adjournment at 9:00 P.M.
