Burnham Street Tigard, OR 97223 RE: Director's interpretation Printing business a � Dear Mr. Budd: This letter is in response to your request for a written determination regarding which Community Development Code use category would apply to the Precision Graphics printing business. The interpretation is based upon the following facts: 1. The business primarily involves the printing of stationary and general commercial printing. 2. No book, magazine, or newspaper publishing takes place. 3. The business consists of sales orders (75 %) and walk -in customers (25 %). 4. The business currently operates with approximately 25 employees and may expand up to 45 employees. The Code does not have a specific definition pertaining to printing or publishing. In such cases, the Director has the ability to chose the definition or use category which is most similar to the business in question. The two Code definitions which have the closest relationship to printing are defined below: 1) Business Support Services: Refers to establishments primarily engaged in the provision of service of a clerical, employment, protective, or minor processing nature to firms rather individuals, and where the storage of goods other than samples is prohibited. Typical uses include secretarial services, telephone answering services, or blueprint services. 2) Light Industrial - Manufacturing of Finished Products: The manufacture of finished products from previously prepared materials (excluding raw materials). I conclude that Precision Graphics should be categorized as a Business Support Service for the following reasons: 13125 SW Hall Blvd., P.O.

No product fabrication is occuring, such as book binding and publishing. 3. The printing of stationary and related products is of a "minor processing nature to firms rather than individuals" and does not constitute the "manufacture of finished products ". 4. The business is a related version of photocopying or blueprinting businesses which are considered as Business Support Services. Business Support Services are permitted in the C -P (Commercial Professional), C -G (Commercial General), CBD (Central Business District), and I -P (Industrial Park) zones.

BURNHAM ROAD _ TIGAR O REGON 97223 684 -1526 May 19, 1989 City of Tigard PO Box 23397 Tigard, Oregon 97223 Attn: Keith Liden & City Staff Re: 2S 1W 2AB Tax lots 5300 & 5301 Gentlemen, We want to build approximately 25,000 to 30,000 sq.ft. of building on the DeHarport property known as 2S 1W 2AB Tax lots 5300 & 5301 (approx. 1.70 Ac.) located on Burnham Street. We are presently located on S.W. Burnham St. and have been here for approximately 5 years and the location fits your needs very well. However the owner will not sell this property and our business needs to expand. We presently employ approximately 25 people and a new facility could employ up to 45 people. Through our preapplication hearing, we understand we would need approximately 86 parking spaces or about 17,000 sq.ft. for landscaping. So the site fits us very well. Under the zone of Central Business District, we believe we would come under the area of Business Support, approximately 25% of our business is walk in traffic and 75% through sales people. Most other similar operations as ours in other cities are located in downtown areas. We do all kinds of printing: office stationery, general commercial printing, etc. We are not manufacturers but alter a product, by printing, instead of making the product. We are willing and able to comply with Engineering as set out by Greg Berry and want to build a architecturally designed aggregate concrete building. Thank you for your consideration. We need a letter from you stating we can go to work on above site and we will start the process. If you have any questions or would like to visit our site, please call and I will personally show you our operation. We are located right next to City Hall but are very unnoticeable, call Ray Budd 684 -1526. • ank you, Ray Budd June 21, 1989 ^ /i4 f-; CITY OF TIGA RD Mr Ray Budd OREGON Precision Graphics 8770 S.W.
