Acting President Hu introduced and welcomed new Commissioner Craig Schuck, Alternate
Commissioners Ahsha Miranda and Darlene Dick. He noted that Commissioner Schuck had
served as an Alternate Commissioner the previous year , and that he was appointed to be a
voting member in December of 2020. Commissioner Hu reminded the alternates that even
though the y are non-voting members, their comments and questions are just as valid any of the
other commissioners. He encouraged them to speak up whenever the time arises.
COMMUNICATIONS – Commissioner Jackson shared that he had attended the River
Terrace 2.0 CAC when they met on Dec. 9 and gave a brief rundown of what they’d talked
about. He shared with the commissioners a few of the statistics that he thought were a bit
surprising. He noted that Tigard’s vacancy rate is 1/3 of the Oregon vacancy rate – so there’s
January 4, 2021 Page 2 of 5
very little housing vacancy in Tigard. Another surprising statistic is that Tigard’s home values are
high compared to the state and even high compared to Portland. Also – for households making
$55,000 a year or less – 4/5’s of those households are “housing cost burdened.”
Commissioner Watson noted that on Dec 16 she’d attended the Washington Square Regional
Center Stakeholders meeting. She noted among other things that they had reviewed a number of
ideas about the importance of making connections through the area that are pedestrian friendly.
CONSIDER MINUTES
Acting President Hu asked if there were any additions, deletions, or corrections to the

PUBLIC HEARING 7:05 p.m.
CITY CENTER URBAN RENEWAL PLAN SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Substantial amendment proposes an increase in Maximum Indebtedness (MI). MI is the
total amount of funds that may be spent on programs, projects and administration over the life
of an Urban Renewal Area (URA). MI does not include interest paid on debt. The original and
current MI for the Tigard URA is $22 million. The City proposes to in crease the MI by $20.8
million, bringing the total MI to $42.8 million.
HEARING STATEMENTS
Acting President Hu read the required statements and procedural items from the hearing guide.
There were no abstentions; there were no challenges of the commissioners for bias or conflict
of interest. Ex-parte contacts: None. Site visitations: All of the commissioners had visited the
City Center site.
STAFF REPORT/APPLICANT PRESENTATION
Redevelopment Project Manager Sean Farrelly introduced himself. Sean is city staff and
represents the City as the applicant. He introduced Elaine Howard who is a city consultant and
urban renewal expert in Oregon. Sean went over a PowerPoint (Exhibit A). He noted that the
Urban Renewal Plan has been in place since 2006 in Tigard and there was a substantial
amendment in 2017 that added some acreage. They’re requesting to increase the maximum
indebtedness of the area by $20.8 million – and that will allow us to do additional projects. The
total maximum indebtedness would then be $4 2.8 million. The new debt can be issued un til
2036. At this point , he turned the presentation over to Elaine Howard who gave a “Crash
Course” in how Urban Renewal works. (Exhibit A). She gave a primer of sorts regarding Tax
increment financing. Sean then talked about some of the specific successes that had been had in
the Tigard City Center Urban Renewal District since 2006. He spoke about additional projects
that had been completed, as well as current active projects - and how the plan relates to the
City’s Comprehensive Plan. He noted that it is consistent with the Transpor tation Plan, Tigard
Parks System Master Plan, Affordable Housing Plan, and the Tigard Strategic Plan 2020 -2025.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Tigard Planning Commission finds, based upon the information
provided in the staff report and the provided attachments, that the City Center Urban Renewal
Plan Amendment conforms with the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, and that the Tigard City
Council adopt the proposed Plan Amendment.
QUESTIONS / COMMENTS
The commissioners agreed that the presentation very interesting, and that they appreciated it.
Some questions were asked ab out the public parking garage and whether that would be owned
by the City of Tigard. One commissioner found it interesting to learn how the funds flo w. The
suggestion was made that since the average person has no idea how this operates, this might be
a good opportunity to educate people with perhaps an article in the City newsletter, or Tigard
Times, or something similar. Sean replied that they’re planning more education – including a
short video. He told them to look for that to come out shortly. Another commissioner asked if
the specific ideas and proposed projects noted were the true plan - or a commitment to do
them. Sean answered that it’s a list of projects – their intention is to do as many of them as they
can within the available funds. He noted that some of the projects are done not just with tax
increment financing, but some are done with grants. He noted that Tigard has already been
successful getting grants to help kick start some of the projects. One of the commissioners
noted that when he’d gone on the City website to look at the current project on the City Center
Urban Renewal Plan, that there were a few broken links. He thinks other residents may want to
go to that site to look at what’s going on, and hopes the broken links are fixed. Sean said he
would check into that and that it might be time to refresh those websites and to fix those
broken links.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY
Acting President Hu asked if there was anyone on the line waiting to testify – there was none.
TESTIMONY IN FAVOR – None
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION – None
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
DELIBERATION
Acting President Hu asked that each of the commissioners give their thoughts on this.
Following are some of the comments:
• Commissioner Roberts thinks it’s great. The connectivity improvement will help a lot,
and he likes that.
• Alt. Commissioner Dick concurs, and mentioned that she is hoping lights will be added
to the Heritage Trail going to downtown as this moves forward.
• Alt. Commissioner Miranda thinks it looks good. She likes parking structures and will
have lots of questions and ideas on that in the future.
• Commissioner K7 thinks it’s a good thin g. He believes it should have been done even
sooner and believes this should move forward in this vibrant community.
January 4, 2021 Page 4 of 5
• Commissioner Brook thinks it’s a great plan. She still has questions about the parking
and hopes there will be enough. Overall, she thinks it’s a we ll thought out plan.
• Commissioner Jackson said his thoughts are generally in alignment with the others so far
as this conforming. His concerns are on the side of how does this link into other projects
in the area – is that going to affect cost? Overall, he thinks it’s very exciting.
• Commissioner Quinones is excited for the Universal Plaza. She lives behind Fa nno
Creek Trail and the Burnham street access. She misses having the Farmers Market there
and overall, is very excited about this project.
• Commissioner Schuck likes the project. He thinks it’s a good idea for that area –
especially for some of the open spaces. The whole idea of tax increment financing is new
to him. He’d been skeptical about how that works - so it was nice to hear how the
public/private partnership can work to benefit both. He’s in support of this.
• Commissioner Watson finds it to be conforming in its intent.
• Commissioner Whitehurst is also excited about the plan. He especially appreciates seeing
the affordable housing piece .
• Acting President Hu likes the plan . He’s excited with the new projects in the downtown
area and believes overall it conforms to the local goals. He just wishes the doc ument
would broadcast the energy conservation goals and aspirations a bit better. These types
of things should be mentioned in the document. Overall , it’s a great amendment and he
supports it.
MOTION
Commissioner Watson made the following motion: “Based upon the information provided in
the staff report and the provided attachments, I move that the Tigard Planning Commission
find that Amendment No. 9 to the Urban Renewal Plan conforms to the Tigard Comprehensive
Plan, and further recommend that the Tigard City Council adopt the proposed Plan
Amendment.” The motion was seconded by Commissioner Roberts.
VOTE
All in favor, none opposed.
RESULT
Motion for recommended approval CARRIES 9 - 0.
City Council will have this hearing on February 9. There will be a postcard in the mail and more
information on the Tigard Website, Facebook pages, and Twitter.
BRIEFING – City Facilities Consolidation (CFC) Project
Kenny Asher introduced himself as the Community Development Director who will be making
the presentation along with Nadine Robinson (Central Services Director) and Kirsten Hauge
(consultant from Kearns West). Kenny told the group they’re happy to make this presentation
to the commission. They will be asking Council to continue to the third and final feasibility stage
in a couple of weeks. He noted they’re in the process now of sharing what they’ve learned and
what they want to do as city staff.
January 4, 2021 Page 5 of 5
All three presenters spoke using this PowerPoint (Exhibit B). Kirsten Hauge went over the
agenda and had a short question and answer time. Nadine Robinson introduced the talk saying
that this is a necessary, cost-effective solution to meet Tigard’s needs now and into the future.
She went over the project description and timeline – including the three different phases. She
explained why they believe it ’s necessary (basically because the City buildings need repair to
maintain safe operations.) She noted that extensive, expensive r epairs are needed such as the
HVAC system, sewer connections, and roof of the police department building. She said most
importantly the facilities do not meet current seismic standards that will ensure the city can
maintain operations and respond should there be a seismic event. She went over the project
description, timeline and funding and noted they are currently in Phase 2.
At this point, Kenny Asher spoke about the potential opportunities. These facilities are over 30
years old. We’re out of space – especially in the Police Department. He talked about how this
would improve downtown Tigard. Changing the city footprint will help with a number of things
– particularly existing city properties could be redeveloped into more than 5 00 new apartments
and expanded affordable housing options. New housing would stimulate downtown
development which could lead to more shopping, dining, and housing. This could also increase
walkability. He went ove r the community benefits such as a community room that will be
available to reserve for civic meetin gs and events; a new parking structure that would provide
additional parking for downtown visitors; and an opportunity to create new tax revenues from
downtown development. He went over the long-term benefits, next steps, and upcoming
activities. He ended his presentation talking about community engagement and what activities
had taken place already to get the word out.
OTHER BUSINESS – Election for President and Vice President of the Commission
The offices of President and Vice President carry two -year terms and according to the
commission by-laws, at the beginning of every odd year elections are held. The Commissioners
voted to elect former Vice President Yi-Kang Hu for President, and Commissioner Nathan
Jackson for Vice President.
ADJOURNMENT
President Hu adjourned the meeting at 9:00 p.m.

About the CFC Project
A necessary, cost-effective solution to meet Tigard’s
needs now and into the future
To meet the needs of our growing
community, the City of Tigard is
considering consolidating most of its
public services in a new building that
would replace its aging downtown
facilities and energize the downtown
district at the same time.
Project description
Key elements:
•Design and construct new building to house most city services on current
city-owned property across the street from the current city hall location.
•Relocate the Public Works yard and construct new building outside of the
downtown core.
•Open up 9.5 acres within the current City Hall site for redevelopment.
•Potentially relocate and enhance Tigard Skate Park.
Project timeline
•Phase 1: Move Ahead Separately or Together? (August 2019 -Feb.
2020)
•Phase 2: Proceed Now or Proceed Later? (Feb. 2020 -Jan. 2021)
•Phase 3: Government Project or Community Project? (2021)
Why is this project necessary?
City buildings need repair to maintain safe operations
•Extensive, expensive repairs are
needed –such as the HVAC system,
sewer connections, and roof of the PD
building.
•Facilities do not meet current seismic
standards that will ensure the city can
maintain operations and respond in a
seismic event.
The city’s facilities maintenance
backlog could reach $14 million by
2026 and an additional $19 million
is needed to bring buildings up to
current seismic standards.
The City is evaluating the best
solution for Tigard
•Constructing two new facilities is more cost-effective,
compared to trying to upgrade old buildings over the
next twenty years and rent additional space.
•Even with construction costs, it is still less costly to
the city because the new buildings will still have value
in 20 years, and the city will be collecting revenues
from property sale and development.
•Consolidation also creates a great opportunity to
reimagine how the city’s 13.5 acres can contribute to
a more livable, walkable downtown.
Properties the city owns or controls
Property the city is leasing
Project funding
•The project can be funded without raising property taxes. Property tax
assessments that are set to expire would continue at current levels, if
approved by residents in the November 2021 election.
•Additional financing would include:utility rate increases, special revenue
funds, photo red light and vehicular speed enforcement, tax increment
financing and land sale proceeds.
Why now?
Resiliency: The pandemic has
shown us the importance of
planning for the unexpected and
the ability to continue city
operations in an emergency.
Cost: Maintenance costs will
continue to increase, and
construction costs have increased
by 5% annually for several years. If
we replace the facilities by 2025,
we can do it without raising
property taxes.
What are the potential opportunities?
Improves downtown Tigard
Changing the City’s footprint downtown
will help:
•Existing city properties could be
redeveloped into more than 500 new
apartments and expanded affordable
housing options.
•New housing would stimulate
downtown development, which
could lead to more shopping, dining,
and housing and increase walkability.
•Redeveloping this area of downtown
will catalyze the whole area from
Main to Hall
Community benefits
•The building will house a
community room, available to
reserve for civic meetings and
events.
•A new parking structure will
provide additional parking for
downtown visitors.
•Opportunity to create new tax
revenues from downtown
development.
Community benefits
•New facilities will ensure that in the event of an earthquake city
staff will be safe and residents will still be able to access essential
government services.
•Provides better safety, security, and training and operations
space for Tigard PD, leading to continued improvements in
emergency response and efficiency.
Long-Term Benefits
Johnson Economics found the CFC
project to be the preferred option evaluated
over a 20-year period. The project is likely to result in:
•Lowest net overall cost of space
•Better urban design solution in downtown Tigard
•More intensive utilization of urban land
•New property tax revenues from released sites
•Additional development in the downtown core (e.g.,
coffee, shopping, restaurants, etc.)
2020 Feasibility
Assessment Findings:
•Building the new
facility creates
additional revenues
totaling over $24
million over the next
20 years.

Memorandum
To: Tigard Planning Commission
From: Sean Farrelly, Redevelopment Project Manager
Re: Proposed Substantial Amendment to the City Center Urban Renewal Plan-
January 4, 2020 Hearing
Date: December 21, 2020
At the direction of the City Center Development Agency Board, staff worked with
consultants to prepare a draft Substantial Amendment to the City Center Urban Renewal
Plan (Plan Amendment) to increase the maximum indebtedness an d add projects to the City
Center Urban Renewal Area (the Area). On December 15, 2020 the City Center
Development Agency initiated public review of the proposed Plan Amendment. A Planning
Commission public hearing is required as part of the review process for a Substantial
Amendment to the Plan. On January 4, 2021 the Planning Commission will be asked to
publicly review the proposed Plan Amendment for conformance to local goals and
objectives and make a recommendation to City Council on its adoption .
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City of Tigard adopted the City Cen ter Urban Renewal Plan, or Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) Plan, in 2006 with an active period of 20 years specified in the plan. After
FY 2026, future debt cannot be incurred, thus the CCURP wouldn't be able to undertake
new projects. However, the tax increment revenue (TIF) would continue to be collected
until the existing debt is retire d. The maximum indebtedness to undertake plan projects is
$22M. As the district approaches the final years of its planned duration, it has used roughly
$10.4M of the approved maximum indebtedness. T he CCURP was amended in 2017 to
extend the district bo undary, but no changes were made to the plan duration nor the
maximum indebtedness.
Over the past fifteen years, community and City leaders h ave pursued a dedicated course of
incremental improvements through public and private development in Downtown Tigard.
Major completed and on-going investments in streets, parks and trails have improved the
public realm, while major public/private developme nt projects have brought hundreds of
new residents to the downtown and improved the business district.
Page 2
Goal 2 of the Tigard City Council for 2019-21 is “Invest and connect key areas of the city to
promote economic growth and community vitality.” Strategy 2.2 under this goal is to
“Continue to make Downtown Tigard a place people want to be by making substantial
progress on projects that attract new residential and business investment.” One of the tasks
to implement this strategy is:
• Evaluate the size and scope of the City Center Urban Renewal Plan to determine
whether tax increment resources in the downtown are sufficient to meet council
objectives. Prepare recommendations regarding the City Center urban renewal area’s
possible continuation.
To address the Council goal, the city completed the City Center Futures projec t in 2020. As
part of that project, three alternatives were considered in extending the City Center Urban
Renewal (TIF) District. The recommended option was to pursue a substantial amendment to
the City Center Urban Renewal Plan to increase the maximum indebtedness (MI) with the
existing Urban Renewal Area (URA) boundaries. The Board agreed with the
recommendation and directed staff to prepare a substantial amendment for public review.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Substantial amendment proposes an increase in Maximum Indebtedness (MI). MI is the
total amount of funds that may be spent on programs, projects and administration over the
life of a URA. MI does not include interest paid on debt. The original and current MI for the
Tigard URA is $22 million. The City proposes to increase the MI by $20.8 million, bringing
the total MI to $42.8 million.
The new MI would contribute funding to the following projects :
• Construction of new streets to provide connectivity
• Tigard Heritage Trail continuation
• Fanno Creek Trail improvements
• Universal Plaza
• Parking facility
• Affordable housing and mixed-use development assistance
• Pedestrian safety and streetscape improvements
• Property acquisition
The proposed URA plan amendment would also extend the last day to issue debt from the
20th anniversary to the 29th anniversary of the TIF Plan. Tax increment revenues after the
29th anniversary (FY 2034-35) will be spent solely on retiring debt. Revenue sharing is part
of the 2009 legislative changes to urban renewal and comes into effect when a substantial
amendment to increase MI is approved. Revenue sharing targets are projected to be reached
in FY 2035-36.
Page 3
In addition to the MI increase, the amendment includes new specific projects and updates
project descriptions.
This level of MI increase cannot be approved by the City alone, it must also be approved
through adoption of a resolution by the governing bodies of 75% of the taxing districts that
levy permanent rate taxes in the (URA).
The draft Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Area Plan Amendment (Plan Amendment) and
the Report Accompanying the Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment (Report)
are included as attachments. The Plan Amendment shows the verbiage changes to the
existing urban renewal plan while the Report gives technical information on blight
conditions and the financial feasibility of the MI increase.
In summary, the Plan is designed to implement the goals and policies of the Tiga rd
Comprehensive Plan and the vision of the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan; advance
the city’s Strategic Plan; and support the area’s designation as a Metro Town Center.
The findings of specific conformance to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan are shown in
Attachment 3.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice was placed on the City of Tigard website.
DECISION-MAKING CRITERIA
The Planning Commission’s review of the proposed Plan Amendment is not a land use
action, but it does require a public hearing.
The purpose of the review is to evaluate whether the Plan Amendment conforms to the
Tigard Comprehensive Plan. The results of the review will be forwarded to City Council for
consideration during the Plan’s adoption hearing, which is currently scheduled for February
9, 2020. If approved by Council, a ballot measure will go to Tigard voters in May.
There are no explicit review criteria for the Planning Commission’s review of the Plan
Amendment. Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) ORS 457.085(4) states that: “An urban renewal
plan and accompanying report shall be forwarded to the planning commission of the
municipality for recommendations, prior to presenting the plan to the governing body of t he
municipality for approval under ORS 457.095.” The generally accepted practice is for the
Planning Commission to provide input on the relationship of the Plan to the Local Goals
and Objectives (Section VI of the Plan), and particularly to its conformance to the City of
Tigard Comprehensive Plan. The relationship of the Plan to the city’s goals and objectives is
attached as Attachment 3.

VII. Proposed Land Uses
This section is deleted in its entirety and replaced with new information.
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-Density Residential (R-25) zoning districts.
The purpose of the districts is described in the Development Code as follows:
A. Central Business District
2
“The CBD zoning district is designed to provide a concentrated central business district, centered on the
City’s historic downtown, including a mix of civic, retail and office uses. Single -family attached housing,
at a maximum density of 12 units/net acre, equivalent of the R-12 zoning district, and multi-family
housing at a minimum density of 32 units/acre, equivalent to the R-40 zoning district, are permitted
outright. A wide range of uses, including but not limited to adult entertainment, utilities, facilities with
drive-up windows, medical centers, major event entertainment and gasoline stations, are permitted
conditionally.”
Most development in the CBD is not subject to minimum setbacks. However, 20 foot front,
side and rear yard setbacks are required where a commercial use abuts a residential zoning
district. A maximum site coverage of 85% and a minimum landscape requirement of 15% are
required. With exception of buildings within 100 feet of any residential zoning districts,
where a 40 foot height restriction applies, a maximum height of 80 feet is prescribed for

proximity to residential areas and major transportation facilities. Within the Tigard Triangle and Bull
Mountain Road District, residential uses at a minimum density of 32 units/net acre, i.e., equivalent to
the R-40 zoning district, are permitted in conjunction with a commercial development. Heliports,
medical centers, religious institutions and utilities are permitted conditionally. Developments in the C-P
zoning district are intended to serve as a buffer between residential areas and more- intensive
commercial and industrial areas.”

city-owned lands intended as parks, open space, and recreational facilities and may be
applied within all comprehensive plan designations. City-owned parks, open space, and
recreational facilities located in a plan district may retain or receive other than a PR zone
designation if it better furthers the goals of the plan district. In addition, other public
agencies may request a PR zone designation for areas that meet the purpose of the zone.
Industrial Park I-P - The I-P zone provides appropriate locations for combining light

The maximum amount of indebtedness that may be issued or incurred under the Plan,
based upon good faith estimates of the scope and costs of projects in the Plan and the
schedule for their completion is Twenty Two Million Dollars and No Cents ($22,000,000).

twentieth anniversary twenty-ninth 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
2
bonds or notes issued to finance the indebtedness. Tax increment revenues collected after
the twentieth twenty-ninth anniversary of the Plan (FY 2034/2035) 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.

Report on Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment 4
INTRODUCTION
The Report on the Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment (Report) contains
background information and project details that pertain to the Tigard City Center Urban
Renewal Plan (Plan) Amendment (Amendment). The Report is not a legal part of the Plan,
but is intended to provide public information and support the findings made by the City
Council as part of the approval of the Plan.
The Report provides the analysis required to meet the standards of ORS 457.087, including
financial feasibility. The format of the Report is based on this statute. The Report
documents not only the proposed projects in the Plan, but also documents the existing
conditions in the Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Area (Area).
The Report provides only guidance on how the Plan might be implemented. As the Tigard
City Center Development TCDA (TCDA) conducts its annual budget process each year, it has
the authority to make adjustments to the assumptions in this Report , particularly in regard
to forecast revenues and planned expenditures. The TCDA may allocate budgets differently,
adjust the timing of the projects, decide to incur debt at different timeframes than
projected in this Report, and make other changes, as allowed in the amendments section of
the Plan.

as defined by ORS 457.010(1).
A. Physical Conditions
The analysis in this section uses data from Washington County Assessor’s office from 2016,
when the amendment to increase acreage within the City Center Urban Renewal Area
boundary was completed. There are not significant changes between 2016 and 2020.
1. Land Use
The Tigard City Center Area is 228.96 acres, including 198 tax lots consisting of 185.60 acres
and 43.36 acres of right of way.
An analysis of property classification data for FYE 2016, from the Washington County
Department of Assessment and Taxation was used to determine the land use designation of
tax lots in the Area as amended. By acreage, commercial use accounts for the largest land
use within the area (51.51%). This is followed by exempt (28.11%) and multifamily
residential (11.73%). The total land uses of the Area, by acreage and parcel, are shown in

B. Infrastructure
This section identifies the existing conditions in the Area to assist in establishing blight.
There are projects listed in City of Tigard Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and Tigard
Transportation Systems Plan that identify these existing conditions. This does not mean all
of these projects are included in the urban renewal plan. The specific projects to be
included in the urban renewal plan are not changed by this Amendment. They are listed in
Table 11.
1. Transportation
The CIP identifies transportation needs within the Area.

2. Water
The CIP identifies no water needs in the Area.
3. Stormwater
The CIP identifies one storm water project in the Area:
94045 – Commercial Street Stormwater Facility
Project Need: Stormwater treatment for a large existing untreated area to meet regional
stormwater regulatory permit requirements, Healthy Streams Plan goals and provide
mitigation for Main Street and other future projects.
Project Description: Construct a stormwater facility, or facilities, to treat stormwater runoff
from up to 47 acres that discharge into Fanno Creek meeting outfall -retrofitting goals
identified in the regional Healthy Streams Plan. This will be coordinated with the Main
Street Green Street Phase 2 Project.
Total Project Cost: $376,000
4. Sewer
The CIP identifies one sanitary sewer project in the Area:
93059 – Downtown Sanitary Sewer Line
Project Need: TV inspection shows rehabilitation is needed to protect sanitary se wer lines in
sections of Downtown Tigard. The sanitary sewer in this Area was constructed in the 1960s
and after years of monthly and quarterly cleaning, the pipe walls have become thin.
Project Description: The full project is both inside and outside the Area. It will rehabilitate
approximately 2,360 linear feet of sanitary sewer line in Pacific Highway from Hall
Boulevard to Main Street and in Main Street from Pacific Highway to Commercial Street. A
cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) trenchless method will be used to minimize traffic disruption.
Total Project Cost: $355,000
5. Parks and Open Space
The Parks and Open Space projects are:

Fanno Creek Overlook- The project will provide an overlook of Fanno Creek near Main
Street and a new connection to the Fanno Creek Trail.
Total Project Cost: $840,000
Report on Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment 12
C. Social Conditions
Data from the US Census Bureau is used to identify social conditions. The geographies used
by the Census Bureau to summarize data do not strictly conform to the boundary of the
Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Area. As such, the Census Bureau geographies that most
closely align with the Urban Renewal Area boundary are used. The Area is situated at the
intersection of seven different Census block groups, each of which extend a great distance
beyond the boundary of the Area, including significant residential populations that live
adjacent to, but outside of the Area.
Only three of the seven overlapping Census block groups include a significant amount of
residential land uses within the Area. Thus, the demographic analysis is limited to those
three block groups: block groups 1 and 2 in Census Tract 307 and block group 4 in Census
Tract 308.01. These block groups have a total residential population of 2,924 as depicted in
Tables 5 and 6. Again, the majority of this population lives in areas adjacent to but outside
of the Area.
The area has 27% Latinx residents. Eighty three percent of the residents identify as White
alone.

D. Economic Conditions
1. Taxable Value of Property within the Area
The estimated total assessed value of the Area calculated with data from the Washington
County Department of Assessment and Taxation for FYE 2020, including all real, personal,
manufactured, and utility properties, is $168,286,420.
2. Building to Land Value Ratio
An analysis of property values can be used to evaluate the economic condition of real estate
investments in a given area. The relationship of a property’s improvement value (the value
of buildings and other improvements to the property) to its land value is generally an
accurate indicator of the condition of real estate investments. This relationship is referred
to as the “Improvement to Land Value Ratio," or “I:L.” The values used are real market
values. In urban renewal areas, the I:L is often used to measure the intensity of
development or the extent to which an area has achieved its short- and long-term
development objectives.
Table 10 below shows the improvement to land ratios for properties within the Area. The
majority of tax lots in the area that are not exempt (41.66% of the total acreage) have I:L
ratios of less than 1.0. In other words, the improvements on these properties are worth less
than the land they sit on. We identify a target I:L ratio of 2.0 for properties in this Area. Only
31 tax lots in the area, including 16.61% of the acreage have I:L ratios of 2.0 or more in FYE
2016. The Area as a whole, is underdeveloped and not contributing its full potential to the
tax base in Tigard.

E. Impact on Municipal Services
The fiscal impact of tax increment financing on taxing districts that levy taxes within the
Area (affected taxing districts) is described in Section IX Impact of Tax Increment Financing
of this Report. This subsection discusses the fiscal impacts resulting from potential increases
in demand for municipal services. The properties within the Area are all within the city
limits and future development and demand for services is anticipated in the Area.
REASONS FOR SELECTION OF EACH URBAN RENEWAL AREA IN THE
PLAN
The reason for selecting the Area has not changed from prior Reports; it is to enhance the
ability to fund improvements necessary to cure blight within the Area.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS AND THE
EXISTING CONDITIONS IN THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA
The projects identified for additional funding are largely already identified in the verbiage of
the Plan, but additional funding has been allocated. Following the categories in the Plan,
they are shown below.
1. Construction of New Streets
Construction of new streets to provide connectivity within the Area as identified by dashed
lines on Figure4.
Report on Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment 17
Existing Conditions: The streets shown with dotted lines do not currently exist. Most block
sizes in the Area are very large, which limits the amount of street frontage and limits
connectivity for all modes of transportation particularly for pedestrians.
Figure 4 – Potential Future Streets in Area
Source: City of Tigard
Report on Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment 18
2. Tigard Heritage Trail (Main Street to Hall Boulevard)
This project will increase pedestrian access and provide new recreational opportunities for
residents, workers, and visitors to downtown. The project will build a new path connecting
Main Street to the existing multi-use trail that connects the Commuter Rail parking lot to
Hall Boulevard, and include, historical/educational installations and other amenities.
Existing Conditions: The Main Street to Tiedeman Avenue section of the Tigard Heritage
Trail has been completed. Currently pedestrians who wish to continue on from Main Street
to the multi-use path that connects to Hall Boulevard must walk through the Commuter Rail
parking lot, most of which has no pedestrian path.
3. Fanno Creek Trail Improvements
Improvements to the Fanno Creek Trail within the Area will include new trail connections,
lighting, accessibility improvements, boardwalks , and wayfinding.
Existing Conditions: The segment through the district is substandard. A new connection to
the Universal plaza will be constructed. The deficiencies are:
• Not designed or built to current local, regional, or state trail standard and generally
too narrow to support the usage it sees today
• Degraded asphalt surface (potential accessibility issues), with tree root heaving in
some locations
• Seasonal flooding
• Lack of any lighting
4. Plazas: Universal Plaza
The Universal Plaza project will provide a large public space that includes a water feature,
covered area, connection to Fanno Creek trail, restrooms, and other amenities.
Existing Conditions: This mostly vacant property owned by the TCDA is being used as a
temporary public space. Conceptual plans for the new plaza have been completed.
5. Public Facilities: Parking Facility
This project includes structured parking that would jointly serve employment uses as well as
visitors and customers to the downtown.
Existing Conditions: There is no structure d parking in the Area. As uses intensify and as
Universal Plaza is developed, additional traffic is anticipated in the Area. This structured
parking would address that need.
6. Planning and Development Assistance: Affordable Housing Development Assistance
Grants and technical assistance to encourage new regulated affordable housing and
preservation of existing market affordable housing.
Report on Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment 19
Existing Conditions: The existing Plan allows for development assistance but does not
specifically call out affordable housing. The need for the creation of affordable housing has
been more widely recognized as an important component of the health of the city. The City
of Tigard Affordable Housing Plan identified needs and strategies to address those needs.
One of the tools to address the shortage of affordable housing is tax increment funds
provided through urban renewal areas.
THE ESTIMATED TOTAL COST OF EACH PROJECT AND THE SOURCES OF
MONEYS TO PAY SUCH C OSTS
The estimated allocation of funds to specific projects shown in this Report are the best
estimates of future expenditures at the time of preparation of the Amendment. The TCDA
will be able to review and update the allocations on an annual basis when they prepare the
annual budget. Nominal dollars are year of expenditure dollars inclusive of inflation, which
is assumed to be 3.0% per year.

THE ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE FOR EACH PROJECT
The projects will be ongoing and will be completed as directed by the TCDA.
The Area is anticipated to complete all projects on or before FYE 2039 and have sufficient
tax increment finance revenue to terminate the district in FYE 2049. Changes in market
conditions could affect the assumed development schedule. However, the last day to incur
debt, June 30, 2035, is to be set in the Plan and is part of the voter approval.
Anticipated project completion dates are shown in Table 12. The TCDA may change the
completion dates in their annual budgeting process or as project decisions are made in
administering the urban renewal plan.

THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF TAX INCREMENT REVENUES REQUIRED AND
THE ANTICIPATED YEAR IN WHICH INDEBTEDNESS WILL BE RETIRED
Table 13 shows the allocation of tax increment revenues to debt service. Table 13 shows no
new debt being incurred after FYE 2035, as required by the Plan. It is anticipated that the TCDA
will have sufficient resources to retire all debt by FYE 2049, which would then allow the TCDA
to cease collecting tax increment revenues and close down the Area .
The time frame for retiring all debt for the Area is not absolute; it may vary depending on the
actual terms of the indebtedness incurred and the actual tax increment revenues received. If
the economy is slower, it may take longer to repay all debt; if the economy is more robust
than the projections, it may take a shorter time period. The TCDA may decide to issue bonds or
take on loans on a different schedule, and that will alter the financing assumptions, however
the proposed Plan Amendment prohibits any new debt after FYE 2035.
The maximum indebtedness of the Plan is $42,800,000 (Forty Two Million Eight Hundred
Thousand dollars and no cents). The City of Tigard estimates that $10,375,574 of indebtedness
has been incurred by the TCDA for the Area through the end of FYE 2020, resulting in
$11,624,426 in remaining capacity from the original indebtedness for the Area. The capacity
for projects, programs and administration starting in FYE 2021 is $36,629,894. The estimated
amount of tax increment revenues necessary to service all debt is $52,469,918. This number is
higher than the amount allocated to projects as it incl udes debt service payments (principal
and interest) to pay for new debt and debt that was already incurred in the past, including
projects that were already funded in prior fiscal years.
Information on scheduled debt service payments for all existing debt was provided by the City
of Tigard Finance Department. Additionally, we assume the TCDA will undertake four
additional borrowings in future years to finance the costs of projects identified in the Plan. For
speculative future borrowings, the amounts, timi ng, and terms of the debt are unknown. The
assumptions used in this Report are for planning purposes only, and subject to change based
on market conditions. These assumptions were developed by Tiberius Solutions LLC and
informed by conversations with staff from the City of Tigard Finance Department and their
financial advisor. Borrowing assumptions in later years (FYE 2030 and beyond) are more
conservative than in earlier years (FYE 2021 through FYE 2029), to reflect greater financial
uncertainty in later years. Specific key assumptions for the financial analysis include:
• Debt Service Coverage Ratio: Payments for future indebtedness are structured so that
annual tax increment revenues are projected to equal or exceed 1.1 x total annual debt
service payments through FYE 2029. In FYE 2030 and thereafter, the projected
minimum debt service coverage ratio increases to 1.25.
• New Debt FYE 2024: Assumes principal amount of $5,800,000 with 4.0% interest rate,
30-year amortization period, level annual debt service payments, and no prepayment
penalties.
Report on Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment 25
• New Debt FYE 2027: Assumes principal amount of $4,200,000 with 4.0% interest rate,
30-year amortization period, level annual debt service payments, and no prepayment
penalties.
• New Debt FYE 2030: Assumes principal amount of $2,500,000 with 4.5% interest rate,
20-year amortization period, level annual debt service payments, and no prepayment
penalties.
• New Debt FYE 2035: Assumes principal amount of $12,500,000 with 4.5% interest rate,
20-year amortization period, level annual debt service payments, and no prepayment
penalties.
For all of the assumed future borrowings, it is forecast that excess tax increment revenues in
later years (FYE 2040 and beyond) would allow for additional princi pal payments, allowing for
the loans to be repaid ahead of schedule. The assumptions used in this analysis present just
one potential scenario for the long-term cash flow of the Area. If actual results differ from
these assumptions, it could affect the ability of the TCDA to achieve these projects at these
dollar amounts on this schedule. Based on these assumptions, we find the Amendment
financially feasible.
There is a positive fund balance shown in FYE 2932 and FYE 2033. In these years the Area’s
outstanding debt has a balloon payment scheduled in FYE 2034, so the Debt Service Fund
needs to accumulative sufficient resources to be able to pay that oversized debt payment.

Report on Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment 29
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE PLAN
The estimated tax increment revenues through FYE 2049 as shown above, are based on
projections of the assessed value of development within the Area and the consolidated tax
rate that will apply in the Area. The analysis assumes average annual growth in assessed
value starting at 3.5% and increasing to 4.0% in FYE 2026 and 4.5% in FYE 2028. These
growth rates assume both the appreciation of existing property values and new
construction activity in the Area.
Table 15 shows the projected incremental assessed value, tax rates, and tax increment
revenues each year, adjusted for discounts, delinquencies, and compression losses. These
projections of increment are the basis for the projections in Tables 12 and 13. Gross TIF is
calculated by multiplying the tax rate times the excess value. The tax rate is stated per
thousand dollars of assessed value, so the calculation is “tax rate times excess value divided
by one thousand”. The consolidated tax rate includes only permanent rate levies.
Revenue sharing is part of the 2009 legislative changes to urban renewal and comes into
effect when a substantial amendment to increase maximum indebtedness is approved.
Revenue sharing means that, at thresholds defined in ORS 457.470, the impacted taxing
jurisdictions will receive a share of the incremental growth in the District. The first threshold
is 10% of the original maximum indebtedness ($2,200,000). At the 10% threshold, the
Agency will receive the full 10% of the initial maximum indebtedness plus 25% of the
increment above the 10% threshold and the taxing jurisdictions will receive 75% of the
increment above the 10% threshold. Revenue sharing targets are projected to be reached in
FYE 2036. If assessed value in the Area grows more quickly than projected, the revenue
sharing triggers could be reached earlier.
The second threshold is set at 12.5% of the maximum indebtedness ($2,750,000). If this
threshold is met, revenue for the district would be capped at 12.5% of the maximum
indebtedness, with all additional tax revenue being shared with affected taxing districts.
This revenue sharing target is projected to be reached in FYE 2047.
Projected Revenue Sharing is shown in Table 14. The revenue sharing shown under the
“shared-voluntary” column in FYE 2049 is not a result of meeting the revenue sharing
triggers, but a result of reaching the maximum indebtedness the final year of the District,
estimated in FYE 2049.

Report on Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment 33
IMPACT OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
This section describes the impact of tax increment financing of the Amendment (increased
maximum indebtedness), both until and after the indebtedness is repaid, upon all entities
levying taxes upon property in the urban renewal area. The impact of tax increment
financing on overlapping taxing districts consists of the property tax revenues foregone on
permanent rate levies as applied to the growth in assessed value in the Area.
The projections for impacts on due to the increase in maximum indebtedness in this
Amendment and are shown in Tables 16a and 16b. The impact of the Amendment on
overlapping taxing districts is measured by the increase in annual tax increment revenues
that would be foregone by those districts until all debt is repaid on the increased maximum
indebtedness of $20,800,000.
The estimated impacts of the original maximum indebtedness prior to this Amendment are
shown in Tables 16c and 16d. These show incurring the full amount of original maximum
indebtedness of $22 million in the original time frame of FYE 2026 and paying off all debt by
FYE 2036.
The estimated impacts for the full (original plus the increased) maximum indebtedness from
this Amendment are shown in Tables 16e and 16f. All debt is incurred by FYE 2035 and paid
off by FYE 2049.
The Tigard Tualatin School District and the Northwest Regional Education Service District
are not directly affected by the tax increment financing, but the amounts of their taxes
divided for the urban renewal plan are shown in the following tables. Under current school
funding law, property tax revenues are combined with State School Fund revenues to
achieve per-student funding targets. Under this system, property taxes foregone, due to the
use of tax increment financing, are substantially replaced with State School Fund revenues,
as determined by a funding formula at the State level.
General obligation bonds will not be impacted by this Amendment, because only bonds
approved by voters prior to October 6, 2001 are affected by this Plan, and there are none
remaining. Local option levies are not impacted by this Amendment.

ATTACHMENT 3
RELATIONSHIP TO LOCAL OBJECTIVES
ORS 457.085 requires that an Urban Renewal Plan conform to local objectives. This section
provides that analysis. Relevant local planning and development objectives are contained
within the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, Tigard Community Development Code Chapter
18.100 Base Zones; Tigard Transportation System Plan, Tigard Park System Master Plan ,
Tigard Affordable Housing Plan, and Tigard Strategic Plan . The following section describes
the purpose and intent of these plans, the main applicable goals and policies within each
plan, and an explanation of how the Plan relates to the applicable goals and policies.
NOTE: This section refers to the Plan and this reference is inclusive of the Plan
Amendment. It is not specifically to the Plan Amendment as the language will
replace the existing language in the Plan, as changes to the Comprehensive Plan
have been made since the original Plan was adopted.

In 2019 the City of Tigard adopted the Affordable Housing Plan – Tigard Housing Strategy
Implementation Plan. The purpose of the Tigard Housing Strategy Implementation Plan
(THSIP) is to identify strategies and implementation steps needed to increase the supply and
affordability of housing within the City of Tigard. The outcome of the project will be
recommendations for adoption of housing strategies and policies, including amendments to
municipal and development code, to implement an Affordable Housing Plan. The THSIP
identified tools to assist in the development of affordable housing, one of which was tax
increment funds.
The Plan includes a project category of Affordable Housing Development Assistance to
provide grants and technical assistance to help encourage the development of affordable
housing in the Area.

Report on Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Plan Amendment 41
COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTORY LIMITS ON ASSESSED VALUE AND SIZE
OF URBAN RENEWAL AREA
State law limits the percentage of both a municipality’s total assessed value and the total
land area that can be contained in an urban renewal area at the time of its establishment to
15% for municipalities having a population of more than 50,000 according to the latest state
census. Tigard’s population eclipsed the 50,000 mark in 2019 as shown by the Portland
State University Annual Population Report Tables. As noted below, the frozen base,
including all real, personal, personal, manufactured, and utility properties in the Area, is
$117,522,911. The total assessed value of the City of Tigard, minus excess value of the
existing urban renewal areas is $6,954,974,807. Excess value is the assessed value created
above the frozen base in the urban renewal area. The total urban renewal assessed value is
7.8% of the total assessed value of the City, minus excess value. This is below the 15%
statutory limitation.
The Tigard City Center Urban Renewal Area contains 228.96 acres, including right-of-way,
