SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND PROJECT SUMMARY
The Parking Reform Compliance Phase II 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 emissions 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,in particular minimum off-street parking
requirements. Most development codes across the country mandate off-street parking for uses and
development. One of the issues is that these minimum parking standards are based on flawed or outdated
analyses of actual parking need. In December of 2022, the Tigard City Council voted to abolish minimum
parking requirements for development.
The second phase of the work related to parking reform is focused on the way that parking areas are designed
and developed. This work ensures that parking areas produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, decrease the
impact of urban heat island effect, and reduce conflicts between vehicles,pedestrians,and bicyclists to help
support active transportation goals. Lastly, the standards require the provision of electic vehicle charging
readiness for parking lots over a certain size.
The state's requirements related to parking lot design were originally required to be adopted prior to June 30,
2023.With the adoption of temporary rules in April 2023,the state allowed cities to apply for an extension to
this and certain other deadlines.The city requested an extension to December 31,2023 to comply with these
rules while technical fixes to the original rules were being developed and adopted.
The City's proposed code amendments are compliant with the technical fixes to the CFEC rules by the Land
Conservation and Development Commission, due to be formally adopted in November, 2023.
Summary of Code Changes
The code changes associated with this project are minimal.They are focused almost exclusively on the design of
parking lots, particularly related to greenhouse gase emissions reductions, pedestrian safety, connectivity, tree
canopy,electric vehicle readiness, and maximum parking requirements.

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.
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 19, 2023. A minimum of two public hearings will be held. The first
hearing before the Planning Commission was held November 6,2023 and the second hearing will be held before
the City Council on December 5, 2023. 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
finds the proposed code amendments are consistent with applicable Statewide Planning
Goals.
OREGON ADMINISTRATIVE RULES CHAPTER 660 DIVISION 12

and maximum parking allowances.
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above and the related findings below, the Planning Commission
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 CFEC rulemaking project. This project brings the city's development code into
compliance with those administrative rules and the associated state law.
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 19, 2023. A minimum of two public hearings will be held. The first
hearing before the Planning Commission was held November 6,2023 and the second hearing will be held before
the City Council on December 5, 2023. 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.
PARKING REFORM COMPLIANCE PHASE II DCA2023-00001
