M Proposed Land Uses
..................................................................................................................................................................................
Land uses within the Area are governed by the City of Tigard Development Code.The Development Code establishes
zoning districts that implement the Tigard Comprehensive Plan.The districts govern the allowed uses and contain
development standards.
Currently, land in the Area is within the Central Business District (CBD), General Commercial (C-G), Professional
Commercial (C-P), R-4.5 Low-Density Residential (R-4.5), R-12 Medium- Density Residential (R-12) and R-25 Medium High-

B Tax Increment Financing of Plan
..................................................................................................................................................................................
Tax increment financing consists of using annual tax increment revenues collected by the Agency to make payments on
debt incurred by the Agency, usually in the form of tax increment bonds.The proceeds of the bonds are used to pay for
the urban renewal projects authorized in the Plan. Debt, including bonds, may be both long-term and short-term, and
does not require voter approval.
Tax increment revenues equal most of the annual property taxes imposed on the cumulative increase in the total
assessed value within an urban renewal area over the total assessed value at the time an urban renewal plan is adopted.
(Under current law,the property taxes for general obligation ("GO") bonds and local option levies approved after
October 6, 2001 are not included in tax increment revenues.)

® Duration of Plan
..................................................................................................................................................................................
No new indebtedness to be repaid with tax increment revenues may be incurred after the twentieth anniversary of the
effective date of the Plan.As is common practice in urban renewal plans in Oregon,tax increment revenues may continue
to be collected beyond this date. Collection may continue until it is found that deposits in the Commission's debt service
fund are sufficient to fully pay principal and interest on indebtedness issued during the twenty years following the
effective date of the Plan, either through direct payment of the indebtedness or by payment of principal and interest on
bonds or notes issued to finance the indebtedness.Tax increment revenues collected after the twentieth anniversary of
the Plan may only be used to retire outstanding debt.The Plan will be effective on the date that the County certifies the
results of the election at which the Tigard voters approve the measure that referred an ordinance approving an urban
renewal plan to the Tigard voters.

® Future Amendments to Plan
...............................................................................................................................................................................
The Charter of the City of Tigard (Section 47) requires that the City Council refer to Tigard voters the ordinance approving
an urban renewal plan at a regular or special City election held in May or November. It further requires that amendments
to an urban renewal plan that "would or could involve the levying of a tax on properties outside the urban renewal
area to pay the debts or obligations to be incurred in carrying out the plan" must be similarly approved by Tigard voters
(Section 48).Though the tax increment financing of the Plan does not involve levying of a tax, amendments that increase
the maximum amount of indebtedness may increase the amount of tax increment revenues. For this reason, such
amendment is classified as a Substantial Amendment Requiring Voter Approval, as discussed in this section.
