Prioritizing the potential projects will be discussed at a future meeting. 7. DOWNTOWN PARKING Sean noted there is a downtown parking survey on Tigard’s website which will be active for a month.

Commissioners agreed to share the recommendations with the Board of the TCDA. They will also be shared with the Downtown Reimagined consultants along with the data collected. 10.

Ava Roasteria breaks ground on mixed use downtown Tigard project Ray Pitz December 06 2022 The small coffee chain will build a coffee shop/cocktail bar, a roaster and bakery in a building with 22 apartments. PMG PHOTOS: JAIME VALDEZ - Groundbreaking ceremonies for the Ava Roasteria Coffee building were held on Monday, Dec. 5. Those helping to celebrate include, from left, Amy Saberiyan, Ava Roasteria Coffee owner; Sean Farrelly, redevelopment project manager for Tigards Town Center Development Agency; Homayoon Haddad, also of Ava Roasteria and Siberiyans husband; Tigard Mayor-elect Heidi Lueb and Tigard Mayor Jason Snider. After years in the making and loads of hurdles along the way, the Ava Roasteria mixed-use building project officially broke ground under sunny skies Monday afternoon, Dec. 5, on Tigard's Main Street. Kenny Asher, Tigard's community development director, said the project has been in the works for a decade, the same time as he's held his position. "This is a day that so many of us have looked forward to for so long and so many of you have actively and persistently worked toward. The Ava Roasteria mixed-use project on Main Street, I don't think I need to tell you, is going to transform this little downtown, alongside some of the other exciting projects going on down here," Asher said, adding that the best projects are the ones that create the most challenges. At three stories, the Ava Roasteria building will be the tallest building on Tigard's Main Street. The bottom floor of the building will contain an Ava Roasteria coffee shop/cocktail bar, a bakery and a roasting room. The top two floors will contain 22 apartments. Asher called Ava Roasteria Coffee, "a cherished small business that has its roots in Washington County." Located on Main Street, the building is kitty corner from Cooper Mountain Ale Works. The long-time-coming project was a partnership between the Town Center Development Agency and Ava Roasteria, Asher said. He thanked Sean Farrelly, redevelopment project manager for Tigard's Town Center Development Agency, for his diligence in seeing the project through. PMG PHOTOS: JAIME VALDEZ - Amy Saberiyan, Ava Roasteria Coffee owner, addresses the audience during groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Ava Roasteria building on Monday. "This site was a 'brownfield,'" Snider said. "Brownfields are previously developed plots of land that are underutilized and are contaminated and therefore pose a health risk to the surrounding community." However, redeveloping the brownfield was an important strategy to help implement Tigard's vision of becoming an equitable community that's healthy, walkable and accessible to everyone, he said. Snider said because of the unknowns surrounding the contamination of the site, the development community was unwilling to take a risk on building anything there. The property has since been cleaned up following U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines. Snider said the city's Town Center Development Agency was able to purchase the property and clean it up before seeking a redevelopment partner. The development agency received a $400,000 brownfield clean-up grant from the EPA in 2016 and the city purchased the property for an estimated $600,000. PMG PHOTOS: JAIME VALDEZ - Tigard Mayor Jason Snider, Yi-Kang Hu, Tigard City Council member-elect, City Councilor Liz Newton and Tigard Community Development Director Kenny Asher attended the Dec. 5 groundbreaking ceremony. Two businesses that were housed in the former building at the site were relocated during the cleanup effort. In turn, the building was demolished and the property cleaned up after removing 16 cubic yards of contaminated soil, the mayor said. The site was a challenge to develop as well because of its proximity to Fanno Creek and the Highway 99W viaduct. "Amy Saberiyan has the expertise and experience to manage the complexities of the site. That was very clear from the first time that we met with her," Snider said of the owner of Ava Roasteria. He said the project will not only provide housing and jobs but also a viewpoint of Fanno Creek that will be accessible to the public. Saberiyan thanked all those who helped make the project possible. PMG PHOTOS: JAIME VALDEZ - Amy Saberiyan, Ava Roasteria Coffee owner, and Tigard Mayor-elect Heidi Lueb chat during groundbreaking ceremonies for the Ava Roasteria Coffee building on Dec. 5. Saberiyan said she hopes that in less than a year residents are able to have a cup of coffee inside the new building. "It was a collaborative team approach between the city and us to face challenges together, take them one at a time and find solutions for them," she said. Saberiyan said she hopes the Tigard site will be the catalyst for other brownfield projects throughout the state. Originally planned as a four-story building with a floor for the coffee shop chain's executive offices, the coffee company found they would have to redesign the structure and cut back after finding they could not find bank financing for it during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. By coincidence, Saberiyan said the loan closed for construction of the building Monday, Dec. 5, the same day as the groundbreaking. Located next to Fanno Creek and in a flood plain, Saberiyan said the property will be raised about 5 feet before construction begins.
