NICK WILSON MEMORIAL PLAZA DISCUSSION Sean reviewed changes made by the Consultants based on discussion from the October meeting. Any methods for restricting bicycle traffic also needs to meet ADA requirements. The method used will include not only restrictive measures but also design features to discourage bicyclists from using the Plaza route and instead encourage them to cross Fanno creek along the current route. The measures would be the same for both concepts. Commissioners unanimously agreed Concept A is the best for reasons such as reduced environmental impact, reduced time to construct, and lower cost to construct. 9. REVIEW DRAFT ANNUAL REPORT (ACTION ITEM) Commissioners reviewed the draft annual report. A Motion was unanimously passed to authorize the Chair and Vice Chair to sign the report on behalf of the TCAC. 10. LIAISON REPORTS A. Tom noted the last CHART meeting was held at Family Promise’s “A Bridge to Home” building. It is now the largest domestic abuse shelter in Washington County. A commercial kitchen is in the works so they can provide two meals a day, seven days a week for residents. B. Elise said the Parking Committee met this morning and discussed guiding principles but not strategies. They will work on that in November before it is presented to Council. The discussion included safety and security, branding all public parking, strategic enforcement, priority parking for customers and visitors while moving employees off Main St. to private lots with shared parking agreements. 11. NON-AGENDA ITEMS A. Tom noted Travis Diskin submitted his resignation. B. Elise noted that TriMet is changing routes with no service on Durham until Hall Blvd. There will be bus service on 72nd Avenue now.

Coordination • Centralize management of the public parking supply within the City of Tigard. • Provide a representative forum for ongoing community involvement in parking decisions. Implement measurements and reporting that ensure Guiding Principles are supported and achieved. • Manage the public parking supply using the "85% Rule" to inform and guide decision-making. B. Priority Customer • Customers and visitors should have priority access to the public on-street system downtown. C. Efficiency and Balance • Provide sufficient options for employee parking, including a permit program, and in off-street locations. • Increase programs and strategies that provide all users with balanced and reasonable travel mode options (transit, bike, walk, rideshare). • Expand off-street shared-use partnerships whenever possible and treat all parking as a community resource. • Provide strategic enforcement to support compliance and turnover that benefits business. D. Intuitive & High Quality • Create a uniform appearance for on- and off-street parking, including signage, striping, and landscaping. • Brand signage by creating a name, symbol, or design that clearly identifies all public parking. • Provide safe, secure, and well-lit parking to allow a sense of security on-street and off-street. • The City's public information system should provide a clear and consistent message about auto parking, preferably under a common brand. E. Planning for the Future • Treat downtown parking management as a partnership between the City and the business community. • Ensure that the public parking system is financially sound and self-sustaining. Ensure that the City is ready to respond to growth and recognize that funding will require a varied package of resources and partnerships. 12/5/23 TIF District Project Updates City Center TIF District 1.

The plan includes a vision, and three areas of emphasis, with Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s). Vision: As a commission and through our TIF districts, we will enable, encourage and support redevelopment in the goal of becoming the most walkable community in the Pacific Northwest where people of all ages and abilities enjoy healthy and interconnected lives. Aspirational Goal: Continue to facilitate and promote opportunities for the development of affordable housing, provide support for equitable business development, and advance efforts toward improved walkability, equity, and connectivity within and between both TIF districts. A. Equitable Business Development Strategies: Advocate for stakeholders in all TIF districts using data collection, analysis and summary in the focus areas of: parking, safety, unconventional business opportunities, program and service awareness and possible locations for business development.

Connectivity and Access Strategies: Advocate for funding in all TIF districts through intentional, strategic support in the form of letters of support, position statements and advisory recommendations to decision-makers. Active support for acquisition of Hall Blvd. by City of Tigard. Perform ad- hoc research to identify walkability issues and potential solutions. Document and report on pertinent studies, such as the Red Rock Creek Study, and legislative actions that may impact safety, pedestrian projects, walkability and way-finding. Action Plans: (1) Advocacy and Support for adequate connectivity, access, mobility and safety related funding: Hall Blvd and 72nd Ave Improvement projects (2) Active support for ownership of Hall Blvd. by the City of Tigard (3) Ad-hoc (personal) research on walkability issues within and between two TIF districts (4) Planning for Wayfinding, signage and technology solutions to encourage multi- modal connectivity between and within TIF districts Accomplishments: • TCAC was briefed on the Downtown Reimagined project which has recommendations for Hall Blvd and other street improvements, and proposes a new Downtown connectivity plan • TCAC wrote letter of support for RAISE grant for phase 1 of 72nd Ave (city was not selected this round) • City awarded state allocation of $3M for Hall Blvd pedestrian improvements C. Affordable Housing and Houselessness Attend, update, monitor, report and present with new and pertinent information from housing and houseless stakeholder groups. Coordinate and share information acting as liaisons to TCAC with local organizations to ensure information flow and coordination to improve efficiency. Develop suggested strategies and policies to address housing issues within the purview/scope of TCAC to City officials and decision makers. Support funding needs and development assistance available for shelter, transitional and affordable housing. Action Plans: (1) Identify liaisons to attend regular housing and houseless stakeholder meetings.
