SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
18.440 Temporary Uses:
18.440.030 Types of Temporary Uses
A. Seasonal or special event. This type of temporary use is a use that by its nature will last less
than 1 year. Examples of this type of use are those associated with the sale of goods for a specific
holiday, activity or celebration, uses associated with construction or seasonal use. This type of
use does not apply to businesses seeking a temporary or interim location. These types of
temporary uses include:
2. Use associated with the sale of fresh fruits,produce, and flowers,including seasonal markets
by a chartered public service/non-profit organization that may offer additional products and
services as provided in the organization's "market rules and policies" such as landscaping
plants,prepared food, animal products, and art/handcrafts assembled by the vendor;
The Tigard Bull Mountain Farmers Market ("1'BMFM) proposes a seasonal, outdoor market to operate
on Saturdays and Sundays from May 5,2018 to October 28,2018."1'BMFM is a non-profit organization,
and will offer the sale of fresh fruits, produce, flowers, and additional products and services at this
seasonal market.The applicant submitted a copy of the organization's Vendor Handbook,which outlines
market rules and policies, criteria for vendor selection, and product guidelines. Accordingly, staff finds
this proposal meets the description of a seasonal or special event. This Temporary Use Permit is being
processed through a Type I procedure.
18.440.050 Approval Criteria
A. Seasonal and special events.The approval authority shall approve or approve with conditions
seasonal and special events when all of the following are met:
1. The use occurs only once in a calendar year and for no longer a period than 30 consecutive
days, except as provided in paragraph 6 of this subsection;
The proposed seasonal market will take place only once this calendar year, from May 5,2018 to October
28, 2018. This is consistent with the allowed April to October operating period for seasonal markets
outlined in paragraph 6,below.This criterion is met.
2. The use is permitted in the applicable base zone;
A seasonal market is considered a sales-oriented retail use,which is permitted by right in the C-G zone.
TUP2018-00014 PAGE 2 OF 5
This criterion is met.
3. The applicant has proof of the property owner's permission to place the use on the property;
This application included the property owner's written authorization to place the proposed temporary
use on the subject property. This criterion is met.
4. There will be no parking utilized by the customers and employees of the temporary use that
is required to meet the minimum parking requirements for the other use(s) on the property,
as required by Chapter 18.310, Off-Street Parking and Loading.
The applicant submitted a site plan that shows 320 parking spaces for the entire property.The 6.63-acre
development is a mixed-use, multi-tenant site, and is therefore subject to the required minimum vehicle
parking formula outlined in '1'DC 18.310.030.D. The table below calculates the minimum off-street
vehicle requirements based on this formula:
Square Parking Percentage Total Parking
Use Category Footage Required Required Required
Sales-Oriented Retail 24,450 74 100% 74
Eating&Drinking
Establishments 12,800 116 85% 99
Bulk Sales 12,400 13 70% 9
Personal Services 10,940 28 60% 17
Indoor Entertainment 6,100 27 60% 16
Day Care 6,000 8 60% 5
Office 1,200 4 60% 2
Repair-Oriented Retail 1,200 4 60% 2
Fast Food Eating&Drinking
Establishments 1,000 35 60% 21
Medical/Dental Office 900 4 60% 2
TOTAL 248
Staff finds that 248 parking spaces are required for the entire shopping center. In addition,the applicant
proposes to temporarily occupy 20 parking spaces with vendor booths, outdoor seating, and a stage
during market hours. This will reduce the total available parking to 300 spaces,or 52 spaces in excess of
the minimum requirement. This criterion is met.
5. The use will provide adequate vision clearance, as required by Chapter 18.930, Vision
Clearance Areas, and shall not obstruct pedestrian access on public rights-of-way.
The proposed temporary use will take place within the existing on-site parking lot. The applicant will
temporarily occupy 20 parking spaces with vendor booths, outdoor seating, and a stage during market
TUP2018-00014 PAGE 3 OF 5
hours. Staff reviewed the applicant's submitted site plan to confirm that this temporary use will not be
located in any public right-of-way,and will not impact vision clearance or pedestrian access.This criterion
is met.
6. Seasonal markets are permitted in the C-G and MU-CBD zones and may operate from April
through October. The applicant shall provide "market rules and policies" for city approval,
which are consistent with the seasonal market use description in 18.440.030.A.2 and will be
observed for the duration of the permit. Market rules and policies shall include hours of
operation, location, product guidelines,vendor obligations,vehicle loading/unloading, and
any other applicable policies guiding the operation of the market.
TBMFM proposes a seasonal, outdoor market that will be located in the C-G zone, and will operate on
Saturdays and Sundays from May 5,2018 to October 28,2018. This is consistent with the allowed April
to October operating period for seasonal markets, outlined above. The applicant submitted a copy of
1'BMFM's Vendor Handbook,which outlines market rules and policies,and includes hours of operation,
location, product guidelines, vendor obligations, vehicle loading/unloading, and any other applicable
policies guiding the operation of the market. This criterion is met.
The city may also consider the following criteria:
a. Provide documentation demonstrating adequate and safe ingress and egress exist when
combined with the other uses of the property,in compliance with Chapter 18.920,Access,
Egress and Circulation;
Based on the site plan provided by the applicant,existing streets and access points to SW Pacific Highway
Frontage Road and neighboring businesses will be used.The market layout submitted with the application
identifies a combination of physical barriers, cones, a gate, and setbacks intended to ensure safe and
adequate ingress/egress and site circulation. Event staff will monitor pedestrians and vehicles around the
market area,and will be available for assistance at all times during the event. This criterion is met.
b. Provide documentation demonstrating the use will not create a traffic hazard, including
coordination with ODOT if applicable;
The project site is primarily accessed from SW Pacific Highway Frontage Road, and does not directly
access onto Highway 99W itself. The site plan submitted with the application demonstrates the market
will be located within the interior of the site,away from the primary ingress/egress point for the property,
and is not expected to affect off-site circulation. The site plan shows that clear separation from internal
drive aisles will occur through a combination of physical barriers, cones, a gate, and setbacks. This
criterion is met.
c. Provide documentation that the use will not create adverse off-site impacts related to
noise, odors, vibrations, glare or lights that would be greater than otherwise allowed by
uses permitted outright in the base zone; and
TBMFM's Vendor Handbook states the hours of operation open to the public are between 9 a.m. and 2
p.m.,with vendor arrival time between 6:30 a.m.and 7:30 a.m.Musical guests are allowed to play between
10 a.m. and 1 p.m. No additional outdoor lighting is proposed or required. Booth sales of listed products
would not expect to generate adverse off-site impacts related to noise,vibrations, glare, or lights. Food
odors may be expected with food vendors,but would not be considered objectionable given the scale of
the activities.This criterion is met.
TUP2018-00014 PAGE 4 OF 5
d. Signs are allowed as provided in Chapter 18.435, Signs;however,the permitted period for
temporary signs may be approved to correspond with the duration of the permitted
seasonal market use.
The applicant is not proposing any signage with this Temporary Use Permit application. Any signage
associated with this temporary use shall be subject to the standard outlined above, and the standards in
TDC Chapter 18.435 Signs.This criterion is met.

Project Description Narrative
The Bull Mountain Farmers Market is focused on creating a positive environment that connects its
citizens to available local markets, community organizations and cultures that Tigard has to offer.
The new market will provide another source of fresh local-grown and produced foods, crafts,with
educational and information services that inform everyone on how to prepare and preserve foods for
as well as the greater Tigard Community. It will dedicate itself to providing social activities that are tl{;
family experiences that all kids young and old can learn from the past that are increasingly being lost
The surrounding streets from 112th to 115th and across highway 99 on Canterbury Lane all have a
high density of houses and apartments that are all within walking and biking distance to our market
place.We expect to create an increase in foot traffic in the area while at the same time reduce vehicti i-°
traffic. One of our goals is to maximize bus traffic by encouraging senior bus transit that is available
from the local area's senior housing population as well as the two Trimet bus stops on Pacific Highwc
(See attached, ID 4273, 4274#94).
Current Canterbury Lane businesses are excited and supportive of our efforts. Several of the plaza's
businesses are actively involved in the planning and intend to become a vendor during the markets
hours. It is and will continue to be the market management policy to actively work with all local
businesses to help create a cooperative working environment and work place. Of our greatest concern
is working together with the current business traffic patterns and being complementary where trips at-,
reduced when multiple activities are combined into a single trip.
The market will enhance and improve the synergistic activities in the area. The current parking need
are substantially lower than required during the hours the market would be on the location including !r
hours before and after dosing so we anticipate and will encourage a surplus of parking in the area by
promoting mass transit walking bicycling and other means to reduce vehicular use.
Thank You for your further consideration of our temporary permit application. If there is any furtheI
help we can give please feel free to ask.
Sincerely
