Dear Ms. Asure,
The subject property is located in the Professional/Administrative Commercial Zone (C-P):
"The C-P zone is designed to accommodate civic and professional services and compatible
support services, for example convenience retail, personal services, and restaurants, in close
proximity to residential areas and major transportation facilities. Heliports, medical centers,
religious institutions,and utilities are allowed conditionally. Developments in the C-P zone are
intended to serve as a buffer between residential areas and more intensive commercial and
industrial areas."
The subject property contains one (1)building with three (3) addresses: 6958 SW Varns Street,
6960 SW Varns Street, and 6960 SW Varns Street, Suite 100. City records indicate 6958 SW
Varns Street is occupied by a medical office, which is an allowed use in the C-P Zone. The
minimum off-street vehicle parking requirement for a medical office is 3.9 spaces for every
1,000 square feet of floor area. City staff did not find any records regarding the use(s) in the
remainder of the building. Parking requirements are calculated based on use categories, as
detailed in Chapter 18.410 Off-Street Parking and Loading of the Community Development
Code of the City of Tigard.
In 2018, the City of Tigard Planning Division approved a minor modification on the subject
property (Case No. MMD2018-00011). A copy of this land use approval is attached to this
letter.
City records do not show any open or outstanding code violations related to this property.
Without further analysis,it is uncertain whether the property is in compliance with the current

issues exist.

and west of Highway 217.The 1.02-acre site is made up of one(1)tax lot,and contains an existing 8,302-
square-foot commercial building, 12 parking spaces, and associated landscaping. The subject building
contains two (2) tenant spaces: 6958 SW Varns Street (2,067 square feet in size), and 6960 SW Yarns
Street (6,235 square feet in size). The applicant proposes a new medical/dental office inside 6958 SW

Administrative Commercial (C-P).
SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
18.780 Site Development Review:
18.780.050 Minor Modifications
C. Approval criteria. The approval authority shall approve or approve with conditions an
application for a minor modification when all of the following are met
1. The proposed development is in compliance with all applicable requirements of this
title;and
The applicant is proposing a minor modification to an existing development at 6958 SW Varns Street.
Specifically, the applicant is proposing a change of use to a 2,067-square-foot tenant space, inside an
existing commercial building.The applicant also proposes to add one (1)ADA-accessible parking space,
near the north end of the building.
The subject building contains two (2) tenant spaces:6958 SW Varns Street(2,067 square feet in size),and
6960 SW Yarns Street (6,235 square feet in size). The applicant proposes a new medical/dental office
inside 6958 SW Varns Street; 6960 SW Yarns Street is currently vacant. Accordingly, the minimum off-
street parking requirement will only be calculated for the smaller tenant space.As outlined in TDC Table
18.310.2, a medical/dental office has a minimum off-street parking requirement of 3.9 spaces for every
1,000 square feet.Accordingly,staff finds that a total of nine(9)parking spaces is required for the subject
tenant space, and there is adequate parking at the subject site, with 13 spaces provided (12 standard
spaces,plus the proposed ADA-accessible parking space).When a new tenant is proposed for the larger
space (6960 SW Varns Street), the property owner (or any agent authorized to represent the property
owner) will need to ensure that the parking lot meets the parking requirements for both tenant spaces.
Furthermore, the proposed ADA-accessible parking space will be reviewed for compliance with ADA
parking standards by the Building Official, at the time of building permit submittal. Upon review of the
applicant's plans and narrative,staff finds that all other applicable requirements are met.This criterion is
met.
2. The modification is not a major modification.
The applicant is not proposing any of the changes outlined in TDC 18.780.040.B.Therefore,this proposal
is not a major modification. This criterion is met.
CONCLUSION: The proposal is a minor modification an existing development and is in
MMD2018-00011_lvanoa,LLC 2
compliance with the applicable requirements of this Title.
