PUBLIC HEARING, LEGISLATIVE
PSILOCYBIN FACILITY STANDARDS
DCA2022-00004
Staff: Associate Planner Schuyler Warren
The City of Tigard proposes legislative amendments to the Tigard Community Development
Code (TCDC) and the Zoning Map.
STAFF REPORT
Sr. Planner Schuyler Warren introduced himself and went over a PowerPoint (Exhibit A).
November 7, 2022 Page 2 of 8
He said, “the first item for consideration is a small legislative text amendment to the Tigard
Development Code that would add time, place, and manner regulations to psilocybin facilities.
This one is a little different in that we are bringing text amendments to you, but our
recommendation to you is actually to pass along a “do not adopt” recommendation to the City
Council. I will go into the reasons for that in more depth later, I just think it’s important that I
provide that context now.
A little background on this - Psilocybin is a naturally occurring substance that is found is certain
plants and fungi. It is a psychoactive substance that is categorized as a hallucinogen. Although it
has been used in traditional medicine in cultures across the world, it is a Schedule I controlled
substance here in the US. Oregon is actually the first state in the US to legalize the production
and administration of psilocybin. Research has indicated that use of psilocybin in controlled
settings may aid in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions.
Measure 109 was passed by a majority of Oregon voters in the November 2020 election. The
measure had the effect of adopting a pretty extensive statute, but I’ll summarize the basics. The
measure legalized the production, administration, and use of psilocybin. And although the law
included some broad rules related to licensing of facilities and practitioners, it also directed the
Oregon Health Authority to establish detailed rules for implementation by December 31, 2022.
Notably, no retail sales of psilocybin are allowed. Instead, psilocybin is administered in facilities
called psilocybin service centers. These are state-license facilities. The clients served at these
centers must be 21 or older, and the process of administering the drug takes more than one
session. There is a mandatory introductory session, followed by an administration session on
another day. A third session, called an integration session, is recommended but is not required.
To support these service centers, there need to be other facilities, including those where
psilocybin-containing mushrooms are grown, as well as testing and warehousing facilities.
Cities may adopt reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on these facilities. They also
may opt out, but only by referring the opt out to voters in a general election. Our Council
consensus was to not refer an opt-out to voters. Common TPM restrictions would include
things like buffers around other land uses or limitations on hours of operation.
The rulemaking at the state has taken nearly the full two years since the measure was adopted.
Final rules are not expected to be adopted until late this month. Given the unknowns, our
department thought it prudent to draft some Time Place and Manner restrictions pending the
final rules from the state. The Tigard Dev Code amendments that were drafted would require a
local land use process on top of the regular land use process that applies to all development and
would include some minimal TPM restrictions.
Our recommendation this evening is actually to forward a do not adopt recommendation to
Council. The reasons for this recommendation are that as the state’s rules have been finalized,
we have found that they cover most of the same things that our local code would. For example,
the state requires psilocybin facilities to be located a minimum distance from all schools, and
they are prohibited in all residential zones. The state actually monitors and enforces these rules.
The state’s licensing process also requires a LUCS from the local jurisdiction, ensuring that we
are able to review these facilities for appropriate zoning before they are even licensed.
November 7, 2022 Page 3 of 8
Additionally, the off-site impacts from these facilities are expected to be minimal – no more
than a normal medical clinic that is seeing patients. And with retail sales prohibited, there is no
“take out” of the substances that would cause further community impacts. We believe these
facilities are better regulated using the standard zoning requirements of the development code.”
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommendation to Planning Commission is to implement Option 1 and forward a
“do not adopt” recommendation to Council.
Assistant Community Development Director, Tom McGuire noted that this was more of a
therapy procedure that takes place in a doctor’s office. Safety factors are built into the licensing
from the state. We don’t need to add anything specifically to the zoning code and we can treat it
as we do other doctor and therapy offices.
QUESTIONS
Has the state recommendation been finalized? Not yet, but we have the draft of the rules,
and they were published on November 3, so we know pretty much what’s going to be adopted
later this month.
Are people allowed to smoke the substance? No.
If we recommend to not move forward, does the new text that we read just revert to the
old text? Everything would remain the same. No changes would be made. The only thing we
changed in that chapter was related to cleaning up language. We didn’t change any of the
standards.
So, we’re not stopping ourselves from going forward in the future? Correct, no we’re not.
TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF THE APPLICATION – None.
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICATION – None.

The recommendation to not adopt passed unanimously with a vote of 6-0.
OPENED - PUBLIC HEARING, LEGISLATIVE
PARKING REFORM COMPLIANCE PROJECT
DCA2022-00005
Staff: Associate Planner Schuyler Warren.
STAFF REPORT
Sr. Planner Schuyler Warren went through his presentation (Exhibit B).
“The second item for your consideration tonight is a legislative text amendment to the Tigard
Development Code that will bring us into compliance with state rules. On September 19, I
briefed you on this coming code package, but I will give a quick refresher.
The Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities rules were adopted by the state’s Land
Conservation and Development Commission in late July. I’m going to refer to this set of rules
and the required work program collectively as “CFEC” throughout the presentation to make
things a little simpler, but I will remind everyone in my wrap-up what the CFEC stands for here.
These rules implement the Governor’s Executive Order 20-04 related to greenhouse gas
emission reductions across the state. The state’s rulemaking also incorporated a longstanding
goal to update the transportation planning rule to address issues of a lack of equity and
disproportionate impacts to marginalized communities by transportation projects.
The rules touch on two main areas of transportation – long-range system planning and project
prioritization and off-street vehicle parking. As I mentioned in the earlier presentation in
September, this is a time-constrained project with two deadlines quickly approaching, one on
December 31st of this year, and one on June 30th of 2023, so we’re hoping to get to work on
this project as soon as possible.
The two elements of the CFEC rules that are subject to these short deadlines are both related to
off-street vehicle parking. This code package only addresses the parking requirements in the
rules, not the transportation planning elements – those will be handled at the time of the city’s
Transportation System Plan update. The first parking requirement is that the city reform its
development code standards related to minimum parking requirements. These are standards in
the development code that require development to provide a minimum number of parking
spaces based on use classification of that development. The city has some limited choice in how
to reform those standards. The second requirement is that the city must update the standards
for the design of parking lots. There is no choice on this one, and it will mean that we must
November 7, 2022 Page 5 of 8
require more tree canopy or solar powered generating covers over parking lots, as well as electric
vehicle readiness.
He pulled up slide 4 of the PowerPoint and said, “For the minimum parking requirement
reform, this chart summarizes the three options that the city has: The first, Path 1 (Slide 4a), is
to remove all minimum parking requirements in the code. If this path is followed, then there are
no further steps required in this element. The second, Path 2 (Slide 4b), removes all minimum
parking requirements in a large part of the city. In addition, parking requirements would be
removed for certain types of development including middle housing, affordable housing,
shelters, assisted living facilities, and other types of residential uses. The third, Path 3 (Slide 4c),
also removes all minimum parking requirements in a large part of the city, but also requires that
the city adopt three policies that use pricing signals to change parking and driving behavior.
After meeting with the Planning Commission, the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee,
and being presented with The Tigard Team’s recommendation, the City Council directed us to
follow Path 1 to compliance. This option would remove minimum parking requirements from
the development code entirely. There are several reasons this approach was our
recommendation and the City Council’s preference. This approach aligns with adopted city
policies, including the Strategic Vision and the Strategic Plan. Reducing burdensome minimum
parking requirements fosters a well-connected and accessible pedestrian network, facilitates
transit-oriented development, increases sustainability, and lowers the impact of development.
This is also in line with the Council Goal to increase community resiliency. Further, Path 1
greatly simplifies the development code standards for applicants seeking to create more housing
and jobs within the city. A unified, citywide approach to parking reform is preferable to one
that inequitably applies parking reforms here and there.
Next, by removing minimum parking requirements, the city allows the market to respond to
supply and demand, specific site contexts, their intended customers, and future innovations in
mobility. Finally, removing minimum parking requirements means that land is used more
efficiently, and less development are overparked.
Those are all the positives to Path 1. And the recommendation could easily rest on those alone.
But I do want to provide some more background on the other Path alternatives that highlight
the reasons we are not recommending those options. The first, and primary reason is that our
analysis shows that Paths 2 and 3 would result in the removal of minimum parking requirements
in most of the city anyway. That analysis shows that fully 62% of the city will have no minimum
parking requirements under those alternatives. This is in line with the analyses conducted by
staff in Milwaukie and Beaverton. That 62% of the city that would have NO minimum parking
requirements, regardless of which path is chosen, includes almost all of the city’s commercial,
industrial, and mixed-use zones. The remaining 38% of the city where we would have the
discretion to apply minimum parking requirements is almost exclusively low-density residential.
However, even within those areas, the City’s authority would extend to only a limited number of
development types. Most of the middle housing types as well as affordable housing, assisted
living facilities, shelters, schools, ADUs, duplexes, triplexes, and many others would be exempt
from parking requirements. The code to implement all of these exemptions and apply minimum
parking requirements to only a select few development types in a very limited geography of the
city would create an overly burdensome and complex code that would move us away from our
November 7, 2022 Page 6 of 8
work over the past decade to streamline and simplify the code. For Path 3 in particular, many of
the programmatic requirements are untested in cities of Tigard’s size. The administrative
element of implementing these programs would prove burdensome not just to the city, but to
the property owners and business owners subject to those requirements.
We do have some precedents for removing minimum parking requirements. The most recent is
the Tigard Triangle, where the Lean Code adopted in 2017 removed parking requirements
altogether. Since then, we have seen the development potential of the Triangle unlocked, with
construction of new commercial and housing units proceeding rapidly. Notably, each of these
developments is providing parking without any city requirements to do so.
Our analysis shows that recent developments are including parking counts that are just slightly
below what would have been required under the old code. We’ve also seen development get
creative with shared parking agreements that reduce underutilized parking lots.
This of course all moves our urban form closer to the walkable development pattern we are
encouraging, and it reduces unnecessary expense for developers.
I’m going to run through a quick summary of the code changes. These are all reflected in the
staff report that you have before you. Most of the major changes will be in Chapter 18.410,
which is the Off-Street Parking and Loading Chapter. We began by updating the purpose
statement here. It was pretty out of date and did not align with the purpose of the regulations in
the chapter. Further, there are different types of parking standards in this chapter, and so we
wanted to provide individualized purpose statements for each of those. And lastly, we wanted to
tighten up this section because purpose statements in our code can help with making findings
for adjustments. And of course, we removed all minimum parking requirements. This is
reflected mostly in the table at the end of the chapter, but we also removed any references to
minimum parking requirements in the text and any standards related to the application of
minimum parking requirements. Next, we reorganized the chapter. It was a bit haphazard in the
way that standards were organized, so we improved that by aligning the organization with the
purpose statement, keeping the vehicle parking standards together.
We also consolidated several standards. A good example of this are the loading area standards.
There were two separate loading area standards in two separate sections. Those are now
consolidated under one loading subsection in the vehicle parking standards.
Finally, we removed the on-street parking credit section. This was one we added as part of the
Housing Options project in 2018, but with no minimum parking requirements, there is no
longer a need for on street parking credits.
This work also required some changes throughout the rest of the code, but these are pretty small
and scattered and so we present them as omnibus changes.
First, we updated some definitions and added others. There were several terms that are used
throughout the code that were not defined. While that is normally not an issue as long as we are
using the dictionary definition, in this case we mean something very specific when we use these
terms, so it was important to get definitions in there to ensure that there is no confusion, and
the intent of the code is met.
We also updated some references. Where they previously were very specific in referring to
standards of Chapter 18.410, they now refer broadly to the entire chapter. This makes applying
November 7, 2022 Page 7 of 8
standards easier, reduces the need to update references, and makes it less likely that outdated
references will slip through.
There were some housing chapters that included minimum parking requirements and those were
removed. We clarified some language around garages, carports, and parking structures.
We removed a couple of outdated standards from the mobile home park chapter. Lastly there is
one small change that corrects an error from the Housing Compliance project in June where an
application type was erroneously left in a table.
So, to conclude, our recommendation is that the Commission forward a recommendation to
adopt these changes to the City Council. I should mention that Vice President Jackson sent an
email yesterday that included some fixes. We will correct those before the City Council either
way, but if you wish, you can include those in your recommendation by reference.”

greenhouse gas emissions.
From 1990 to 2020, transportation
emissions increased more than
any other sector.
In Oregon, transportation creates
40% of GHG emissions.

Memorandum
To: President Hu and members of the Planning Commission
From: Schuyler Warren, Senior Planner
Tom McGuire, Assistant Community Development Director
Re: Psilocybin Facilities
Date: October 26, 2022
This memorandum provides guidance on the Community Development team’s recommendation
for proceeding with the legislative hearing for DCA2022 -00004.
Recommendation
We recommend the Planning Commission forward a “do not adopt” recommendation to
the City Council.
It is unusual that the City provide this type of recommendation, so we will summarize briefly the
reasoning.
• State law and administrative rules already provide for adequate buffering from schools
through the licensing process.
• State law and administrative rules already prohibit psilocybin facilities in residential zones.
• Unlike marijuana facilities, there is no retail distribution of psilocybin products directly to
consumers. Psilocybin products can only be administered in a clinical setting under the
direct supervision of a licensed.
• Psilocybin facilities are unlikely to have the off-site impacts like odors that are typically
associated with marijuana facilities.
The draft code amendments included with the staff report are only provided to the Planning
Commission in the case that the body elects to move forward with addit ional land use
requirements for psilocybin facilities.
Process
In order to effectuate the recommendation from staff, the Planning Commission will still need to
follow the typical procedures for a public hearing. However, the action taken by the Planning
Commission would be to take a vote to forward a do not adopt recommendation to Council.

SECTION I. APPLICATION SUMMARY
CASE NAME: PSILOCYBIN FACILITY STANDARDS
CASE NO.: Development Code Amendment (DCA) DCA2022 -00004
PROPOSAL: The City of Tigard proposes legislative amendments to the Tigard Community
Development Code (TCDC) to provide standards and approval processes for psilocybin
facilities allowed by Measure 109.
The proposed text amendments for the Planning Commission’s review are included in
Attachment 1, and summarized below in Section IV of this report:
APPLICANT: City of Tigard

REVIEW
CRITERIA: Statewide Planning Goals 1 (Citizen Involvement), 2 (Land Use Planning);
Comprehensive Plan Goals 1.1.2, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.6, 2.1.11, 2.1.23, 2.1.24; and
Tigard Development Code Chapters 18.710 and 18.79 0.
SECTION II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is presenting the Planning Commission with two options.
1. The first option is to forward a recommendation to not adopt the proposed amendments to the City Council. In
this scenario, the following would occur:
▪ The State of Oregon’s restrictions on distance from schools and prohibition on locating psilocybin facilities in
residential zones would apply at the licensing stage and be regulated by the state.
▪ The city would apply existing zoning code regulations to the various uses associated with psilocybin facilities.
2. The second option is to forward a recommendation to adopt the attached amendments to the City Council. In
PSILOCYBIN FACILITY STANDARDS DCA2022-00004
11/7/2022 PUBLIC HEARING, STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION PAGE 2 OF 7
this scenario, the following would occur:
▪ The State of Oregon’s restrictions on distance from schools and prohibition on locating psilocybin facilities in
residential zones would apply at the licensing stage and be regulated by the state.
▪ The city would apply existing zoning code regulations to the various uses assoc iated with psilocybin facilities.
▪ The city would apply additional operational standards included in these amendments.
The staff recommendation to Planning Commission is to implement Option 1 and forward a “do not adopt”
recommendation to Council.
SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND PROJECT SUMMARY
In November 2020, Oregon voters passed Measure 109, which directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to
license and regulate psilocybin products and the provision of psilocybin services. L icensing is planned to begin
in early 2023.
The amendments under consideration would provide additional local regulations on the manufacturing,
storage, testing, and distribution of psilocybin and psilocybin products. The regulations would determine wher e
these facilities could be located within the city, as well as operational aspects such as hours of operation. These
regulations would duplicate some state requirements.
Psilocybin
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound. It is found in over 200 species of fungi
(mushrooms). For centuries Indigenous and Tribal communities around the world have used psilocybin for
spiritual, ceremonial, and other purposes. Psilocybin services will soon be an option in Oregon. However,
psilocybin is still a Schedule I substance under the Federal Controlled Substances Act. Oregon is the first state
in the U.S. to create a regulatory framework for psilocybin services.
In Oregon, “psilocybin services” refers to preparation, administration , and integration sessions provided by a
licensed facilitator. The psilocybin products consumed must be cultivated or produced by a licensed psilocybin
manufacturer and may only be provided to a client at a licensed psilocybin service center during an
administration session.
Psilocybin services will be available to people aged 21 or older and will not require a prescription or medical
referral. People accessing psilocybin services are called “clients”.
Regulation by the Oregon Health Authority
The primary regulatory authority for psilocybin facilities will be Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS), which is a
division of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). The OPS must have rules in place by December 31, 2022.
The state will begin taking license applications on J an. 2, 2023.
Certain requirements must be met by all state licensees:
• Psilocybin facilities must be located at least 1,000 feet from any public or private K -12 school.
• Psilocybin facilities are prohibited in exclusively residential zones.
The City of Tigard may adopt additional time, place, and manner restrictions through its Community
Development Code (CDC).
PSILOCYBIN FACILITY STANDARDS DCA2022-00004
11/7/2022 PUBLIC HEARING, STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION PAGE 3 OF 7
The proposed amendments to the Tigard CDC include the state’s requirements and add two others:
• Psilocybin facilities may not be operated as a home occupation.
• Psilocybin facilities other than manufacturing facilities are prohibited from operating between 7:00 pm
and 7:00 am daily.
Alternatives
As outlined above, the City could instead opt to treat these facilities the same as any other manufacturing ,
storage, distribution, and professional services use without any additional restrictions other than those imposed
by the State of Oregon.
Summary of Code Changes
The code changes associated with this project are minimal. They are focused on providing definitions and
standards for psilocybin facilities.
Chapter 18.30 Definitions
This chapter was updated to include new terms related to psilocybin facilities.
Chapter 18.430 Marijuana And Psilocybin Facilities
This chapter was updated with a new title and to include standards for psilocybin facilities. Some language was
rewritten for clarity.
SECTION IV. APPLICABLE CRITERIA, FINDINGS, AND CONCLUSIONS
STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS AND GUIDELINES
State planning regulations require cities to adopt and amend Comprehensive Plans and land use regulations in

CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above and the related findings bel ow, staff finds the proposed code
amendments are consistent with applicable Statewide Planning Goals.
TIGARD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
State planning regulations require cities to adopt and amend comprehensive plans and land use regulations in
compliance with the state land use goals and consistent with their adopted comprehensive plan goals and policies.
Because the development code amendments have a limited scope and the text amendments ad dress only some
of the topics in the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, only applicable comprehensive plan goals and associated policies
are addressed below.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 1: Citizen Involvement
Policy 1.1.2: The City shall define and publicize an appro priate role for citizens in each phase of the land
use planning process.
FINDING: An online public comment site was established to solicit community input on the draft
regulations.
Notice was sent to affected government agencies by email on October 5, 2022.

in the Tigard Times newspaper on October 20, 2022. A minimum of two public hearings will be held (one before
the Planning Commission and the second before the City Council) at which an opportunity for public input is
provided. This policy is satisfied.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 2: Land Use Planning
Policy 2.1.1: The City’s land use program shall establish a clear policy direction, comply with state and
regional requirements, and serve its citizens’ own interests.
FINDING: The proposed text amendments to the development code comply with all state and regional
requirements, as the previous findings indicate . The proposed amendments provide clarification to ambiguous,
redundant, and contradictory language in the development code. This policy is satisfied.

to comment on the proposal, as required by Section 18.710.110 (Type IV Procedures) and discussed in Section
V of this report. Comments submitted by affected agencies have been incorporated into this report and the
proposed amendments. This policy is satisfied.
Policy 2.1.4: The City’s land use program shall promote the efficient use of land through the creation
of incentives and redevelopment programs .
FINDING: The proposed text amendments promote efficient use of land by ensuring that adequate distance is
maintained between psilocybin facilities and other uses with which they may conflict. Further, these uses are not
projected to be space -intensive and will generate an efficient level of economic activity per acre of land used.
This policy is satisfied.
Policy 2.1.6: The City shall promote the development and maintenance of a range of land use types
which are of sufficient economic value to fund needed services and advance the community’s social and
fiscal stability.
FINDING: The proposed text amendments allow for economic activity involving psilocybin facilities, a use that
was approved by a majority of voters in the State of Oregon and in the City of Tigard. These facilities will be part
of a diversified local economy providing elective services and generating local economic activ ity. This policy is
satisfied.
Policy 2.1.11: The City shall adopt regulations and standards to protect public safety and welfare from
hazardous conditions related to land use activities .
FINDING: The proposed text amendments provide for adequate buffering between psilocybin facilities and
other uses with which they may conflict and cause safety or other concerns. This policy is satisfied.
Policy 2.1.23: The City shall require new development, in cluding public infrastructure, to minimize
conflicts by addressing the need for compatibility between it and adjacent existing and future land uses.
FINDING: The proposed text amendments provide for adequate buffering between psilocybin facilities and
other uses with which they may conflict. This policy is satisfied.

PARKING REFORM COMPLIANCE DCA2022-00005
12/13/2022 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS PAGE 2 OF 7
SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND PROJECT SUMMARY
The Parking Reform Compliance project will bring the City of Tigard into compliance with the provisions of
the Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities (CFEC) rules adopted by the State of Oregon’s Land
Conservation and Development Commission on July 25, 2022.
These rules were developed in consultation with a broad group of stakeholders including city staff, over the
course of two years. The rulemaking process began after Governor Kate Brown issued Executive Order 20-04
in the spring of 2020, directing state agencies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the state. As part of
this order, the Department of Land Conservation and Development was charged with updating the state's
Transportation Planning Rule and other administrative rules to reduce the emissions caused by transportation
and land use patterns.
Currently, the transportation sector accounts for more than a quarter of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
nationwide, and more than 40 percent of emission in Oregon. Despite the efforts to reduce the carbon impact
of the state's transportation system over the past two decades, emissions have grown annually.
The CFEC rules are intended to start the state down the road of addressing the climate emergency and issues
of equity. They are focused on two primary areas of reform.
The first, and by far the most expansive, is an overhaul of the way that long-range transportation planning is
conducted, and the types of projects that should be prioritized in that planning.
The second area of reform, though smaller in scope, is no less important to meeting the state’s GHG reduction
targets. This area is related to land use planning for vehicle parking. Most development codes across the
country mandate off-street parking for uses and development. One of the issues is that the standards for these
parking mandates are based on flawed or outdated analyses of actual parking need.
An increasing number of cities of all sizes across the country are recognizing the impact of these mandates on
their climate goals and urban form and removing all parking requirements from their development codes. This
does not eliminate parking, just a government mandate for parking. Multiple case studies have shown that the
market is well-suited to provide the parking that is appropriate to development without mandates. The City of
Tigard has its own case study for this outcome in the Tigard Triangle, where the Lean Code adopted in 2017
removed all minimum parking requirements. Since that time, development in the Triangle has continued apace,
with adequate parking provided.
The state’s requirements related to parking are one of the most time-constrained elements of the new
administrative rules. These mandated parking reforms are required to be adopted in two phases—one by
December 31, 2022, and the other by June 30, 2023.
In September, the Community Development team briefed the Planning Commission and the City Council on
the rules and their requirements related to parking reform.
Under the rules, the City has three options for meeting the requirements for parking reform.
1. Remove all minimum parking requirements.
2. Remove minimum parking requirements in certain geographies and for certain uses.
3. Remove minimum parking requirements in certain geographies and adopt parking programs.
PARKING REFORM COMPLIANCE DCA2022-00005
12/13/2022 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS PAGE 3 OF 7
An analysis by the Community Development team found that Option 2 would require the removal of
minimum parking requirements in 62 percent of the city, including all the mixed-use zones, most of the
Industrial zones, and all but a small section of the General Commercial zone. The portion of the city where
minimum parking requirements could be applied would be almost exclusively residential areas. However, even
within these areas, certain minimum parking requirements could not be applied to a variety of housing types.
Option 3 would require extensive administrative investment to create and manage ongoing parking reform
programs.
The Community Development team has confidence that removing minimum parking requirements will have
no significant long-term impact on the provision of parking based on the precedents in other communities.
Moreover, maintaining minimum parking requirements runs counter to the city’s stated vision and goals
centered on climate change, health, and walkability.
Therefore, the recommendation to Planning Commission and City Council was to pursue Option 1. Planning
Commission concurred with a unanimous vote at their November 7 hearing. At a previous briefing, a majority
of City Council members also directed staff to develop code amendments to effectuate this option.
Summary of Code Changes
The code changes associated with this project are minimal. They are focused almost exclusively on excising
language related to minimum parking requirements from the development code. There are a few changes in the
omnibus that address issues with the mobile home parks chapter and fix an issue in a table.
Chapter 18.410 Off-Street Parking and Loading
This chapter was updated to remove all standards related to minimum parking requirements. In addition, it was
restructured to better organize the standards, and a new purpose statement was written to reflect the updated goals
and vision of the chapter and allow for better findings to adjustments to the standards.
Division 18.200 Residential Development Standards
Division 18.300 Residential Development Standards
Division 18.600 Plan Districts
The chapters in these divisions were updated to remove references to minimum parking requirements and
correct references to Chapter 18.410. Chapter 18.260 was updated to remove requirements that are better
handled through nuisance code enforcement or that were not clear and objective.
Chapter 18.710 Land Use Applications
A table was updated to remove an instance where an ADU application type was erroneously not removed in
the previous Housing Compliance project.
Chapter 18.765 Modifications
This chapter was updated to remove references to modifications for minimum parking requirements.
PARKING REFORM COMPLIANCE DCA2022-00005
12/13/2022 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS PAGE 4 OF 7
SECTION IV. APPLICABLE CRITERIA, FINDINGS, AND CONCLUSIONS
STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS AND GUIDELINES
State planning regulations require cities to adopt and amend Comprehensive Plans and land use regulations in
compliance with the state land use goals. Because the proposed code amendments have a limited scope and the
text amendments address only some of the topics in the Statewide Planning Goals, only applicable statewide
goals are addressed below.
Statewide Planning Goal 1 – Citizen Involvement:
This goal outlines the citizen involvement requirement for adoption of Comprehensive Plans and
changes to the Comprehensive Plan and implementing documents.
FINDING: The Department of Land Conservation and Development conducted a comprehensive public
engagement process for the CFEC rulemaking project. This project brings the city’s development code into
compliance with those administrative rules and the associated state law.
Notice was sent to affected government agencies by email on October 5, 2022.
The notice requirements set forth in Section 18.710.110 (Type IV Procedures) were met. A notice was published
in the Tigard Times newspaper on October 20, 2022. Two public hearings were held one before the Planning
Commission on November 7 and one before the City Council on December 13, at which an opportunity for
public input is provided. This goal is satisfied.
Statewide Planning Goal 2 – Land Use Planning:
This goal outlines the land use planning process and policy framework.
FINDING: The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) has acknowledged the City’s
Comprehensive Plan as being consistent with the statewide planning goals. The Development Code implements
the Comprehensive Plan. The Development Code establishes a process and standards to review changes to the
Tigard Development Code in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and other applicable state requirements.
As discussed within this report, the applicable Development Code process and standards have been applied to
the proposed amendment, and the intent of these amendments are to meet the requirements of state law,
administrative rules, and the Statewide Planning Goals. This goal is satisfied.
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above and the related findings below, the Planning Commission
concludes the proposed code amendments are consistent with applicable Statewide
Planning Goals.
OREGON ADMINISTRATIVE RULES CHAPTER 660 DIVISION 12
The new rules in Section 400 of this division require that “Cities and counties shall remove parking mandates as
directed under OAR 660-012-0420. In lieu of removing parking mandates, cities and counties may amend their
comprehensive plans and land use regulations to implement the provisions of OAR 660-012-0425, OAR 660-
012-0430, OAR 660-012-0435, OAR 660-012-0440, OAR 660-012-0445, and OAR 660-012-0450”
FINDING: The code amendments proposed remove all minimum parking requirements from the City of
Tigard’s Community Development Code as required by OAR 660-012-0400. This Administrative Rule is
satisfied.
PARKING REFORM COMPLIANCE DCA2022-00005
12/13/2022 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS PAGE 5 OF 7
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above and the related findings below, the Planning Commission
concludes that the proposed code amendments are consistent with the applicable Oregon
Administrative Rules.
TIGARD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
State planning regulations require cities to adopt and amend comprehensive plans and land use regulations in
compliance with the state land use goals and consistent with their adopted comprehensive plan goals and policies.
Because the development code amendments have a limited scope and the text amendments address only some
of the topics in the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, only applicable comprehensive plan goals and associated policies
are addressed below.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 1: Citizen Involvement
Policy 1.1.2: The City shall define and publicize an appropriate role for citizens in each phase of the land
use planning process.
FINDING: The Department of Land Conservation and Development conducted a comprehensive public
engagement process for the CFEC rulemaking project. This project brings the city’s development code into
compliance with those administrative rules and the associated state law.
Notice was sent to affected government agencies by email on October 5, 2022.
The notice requirements set forth in Section 18.710.110 (Type IV Procedures) were met. A notice was published
in the Tigard Times newspaper on October 20, 2022. Two public hearings were held one before the Planning
Commission on November 7 and one before the City Council on December 13, at which an opportunity for
public input is provided. This goal is satisfied.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 2: Land Use Planning
Policy 2.1.1: The City’s land use program shall establish a clear policy direction, comply with state and
regional requirements, and serve its citizens’ own interests.
FINDING: The proposed text amendments to the development code comply with all state and regional
requirements, as the previous findings indicate. The proposed amendments provide clarification to ambiguous,
redundant, and contradictory language in the development code. The proposed amendments also establish a
clear policy direction for the approval of housing types. This policy is satisfied.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 2: Land Use Planning
Policy 2.1.2: The City’s land use regulations, related plans, and implementing actions shall be consistent
with and implement its Comprehensive Plan.
FINDING: As demonstrated in this staff report, the proposed amendments to the Tigard Development Code
are consistent with the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. This policy is satisfied.
Policy 2.1.3: The City shall coordinate the adoption, amendment, and implementation of its land use
program with other potentially affected jurisdictions and agencies.
FINDING: Copies of the proposed text amendments were sent to affected agencies and each agency was invited
PARKING REFORM COMPLIANCE DCA2022-00005
12/13/2022 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS PAGE 6 OF 7
to comment on the proposal, as required by Section 18.710.110 (Type IV Procedures) and discussed in Section
V of this report. Comments submitted by affected agencies have been incorporated into this report and the
proposed amendments. This policy is satisfied.
Policy 2.1.24: The City shall establish design standards to promote quality urban development and to
enhance the community’s value, livability, and attractiveness.
FINDING: The proposed amendments further the City’s goal to increase health and walkability. Standards for
street-facing facades ensure that the pedestrian realm remains attractive and that parking structures do not present
blank walls to the street. The proposed standards ensure that the City’s goals and the state requirements are
simultaneously met. This policy is satisfied.
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above, the Planning Commission concludes that the proposed code
text amendments are consistent with applicable provisions of the Tigard Comprehensive
Plan.

11/7/2022 PUBLIC HEARING, STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION PAGE 5 OF 7
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above and the related findings below, staff finds the proposed code
amendments are consistent with the applicable Oregon Administrative Rules.
TIGARD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
State planning regulations require cities to adopt and amend comprehensive plans and land use regulations in
compliance with the state land use goals and consistent with their adopted comprehensive plan goals and policies.
Because the development code amendments have a limited scope and the text amendments address only some
of the topics in the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, only applicable comprehensive plan goals and associated policies
are addressed below.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 1: Citizen Involvement
Policy 1.1.2: The City shall define and publicize an appropriate role for citizens in each phase of the land
use planning process.
FINDING: The Department of Land Conservation and Development conducted a comprehensive public
engagement process for the CF EC rulemaking project. This project brings the city’s development code into
compliance with those administrative rules and the associated state law.
Notice was sent to affected government agencies by email on October 5, 2022.
The notice requirements set forth in Section 18.710.110 (Type IV Procedures) were met. A notice was published
in the Tigard Times newspaper on October 20, 2022. A minimum of two public hearings will be held (one before
the Planning Commission and the second before the City Council) at which an opportunity for public input is
provided. This policy is satisfied.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 2: Land Use Planning
Policy 2.1.1: The City’s land use program shall establish a clear policy direction, comply with state and
regional requirements, and serve its citizens’ own interests.
FINDING: The proposed text amendments to the development code comply with all state and regional
requirements, as the previous findings indicate . The proposed amendments provide clarification to ambiguous,
redundant, and contradictory language in the development code. The proposed amendments also establish a
clear policy direction for the approval of housing types. This policy is satisfied.
Comprehensive Plan Goal 2: Land Use Planning
Policy 2.1.2: The City’s land use regulations, related plans, and implementing actions shall be consistent
with and implement its Comprehensive Plan.
FINDING: As demonstrated in this staff report, the proposed amendments to the Tigard Development Code
are consistent with the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. This policy is satisfied.
Policy 2.1.3: The City shall coordinate the adoption, amendment, and implementation of its land use
program with other potentially affected jurisdictions and agencies.
FINDING: Copies of the proposed text amendments were sent to affected agencies and each agency was invited
to comment on the proposal, as required by Section 18.710.110 (Type IV Procedures) and discussed in Section
V of this report. Comments submitted by affected agencies have been incorporated into this report and the
PARKING REFORM COMPLIANCE DCA2022-00005
11/7/2022 PUBLIC HEARING, STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION PAGE 6 OF 7
proposed amendments. This policy is satisfied.
Policy 2.1.24: The City shall establish design sta ndards to promote quality urban development and to
enhance the comm unity’s value, livability, and attractiveness.
FINDING: The proposed amendments further the City’s goal to increase health and walkability. Standards for
street-facing facades ensure that the pedestrian realm remains attractive and that parking structures do not present
blank walls to the street. The proposed standards ensure that the City’s goals and the state requirements are
simultaneously met. This policy is satisfied.
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above, staff concludes that the proposed code tex t amendment is
consistent with applicable provisions of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan.

18.410.020 Applicability
Commentary Chapter 18.410 Off-Street Parking and Loading
A new purpose statement was written with the intent of separating out the goals for each of the three
different parking situations covered by this chapter. This will help to better explain the purpose of the
code, but also allow for better findings for adjustments, which rely on the purpose statement.
A. Applicability. The provisions of this chapter apply to all new development and
all modifications to existing development, including changes of use, unless stated
otherwise.
B. Unlisted uses. Where a use in not listed in Table 18.410.3, a use
determination may be requested as provided in Section 18.60.030 for the purposes
of determining the maximum vehicle parking and minimum bicycle parking
standards of this chapter.
18.410.030 General Provisions
A. Location. Required off-street parking must be located on the same lot as the use
it serves, except where an on-street credit has been granted through the provisions of
Section 18.410.090.
B. Maintenance. All parking areas must be kept clean and in good repair at all
times.
C. Exclusive use. Except for shared parking agreements appro ved through a land
use application, required off-street parking must not be rented, leased, or assigned to
any other person or organization.
D. Mixed-use and multi-tenant developments. In mixed-use and multi-tenant
developments, the required minimum vehicle parking is determined using the
following formula:
1. The use category with the largest proportion of total floor area within the
development must provide 100 percent of the minimum vehicle parking required
for that use category in Section 18.410.070;
2. The use category with the second largest proportion of total floor area within
the development must provide 85 percent of the minimum vehicle parking
required for that use category in Section 18.410.070;
3. The use category with the third largest proportion of total floor area within
the development must provide 70 percent of the minimum vehicle parking
required for that use category in Section 18.410.070;
4. All other use categories must provide 60 percent of the minimum vehicle
parking required for each of those use categories in Section 18.410.070.
Commentary Chapter 18.410 Off-Street Parking and Loading
The language on unlisted uses was moved to this section from later in the code.
Most of the general provisions were removed, as they apply to situations where there are minimum
parking requirements. The provisions that were not removed were moved to other sections where they
could be better applied.
Maintenance in particular does not need to be here as it is covered by the nuisance code.
E. Shared parking. The parking requirements of this chapter may be met through a
shared parking agreement, subject to the following:
1. The applicant must demonstrate that the sites participating in the shared
parking agreement provide sufficient and appropriately located parking for all
uses on the sites during all periods of operation;
2. The applicant must provide satisfactory legal evidence in the form of deeds,
leases, or contracts to establish the shared parking agreement; and
3. If a shared parking agreement is terminated, the requirements of this title
thereafter apply to each use, structure, or lot separately.
F. Accessible parking. All parking areas must include the required number of
accessible parking spaces as specified by the state building code and federal
standards. Such parking spaces must be sized, signed, and marked as required by these
regulations and in compliance with ORS 447.
G. Fleet parking. Required vehicle parking spaces may not be used for storage of
fleet vehicles, except when a use can show that empl oyee and fleet parking spaces are
used interchangeably; for example, the employee drives the fleet vehicle from home,
or the spaces are used for fleet storage only at night and are available for employee
use during the day. For the purposes of this title, space exclusively devoted to the
storage of fleet vehicles will be considered as outdoor storage.

Subject:DCA2022-00005 DLCD review
Hi Schuyler,
DLCD’s CFEC team has completed review of DCA2022-00005- proposed removal of parking requirements to implement
CFEC rules. Just wanted to pass along that it all looks good and the proposal satisfies the requirements of OAR 660-012-
0430 and -0440.
As you know, the city will need to implement 660-012-0405 through 0415 by June 30, 2023 or receive approval for an
extension. Please see the CFEC website for additional information. In addition, DLCD has recently published guidance
on extensions (AKA “alternative dates”), which can be found here:
https://www.oregon.gov/lcd/CL/Documents/GuidanceAlternativeDates.pdf.
DLCD appreciates the leadership Tigard has shown in implementing the rules.
Sincerely,
Laura
