RE: Minor Modification, MMD2008 -00009 Maher Salon and Spa
Change of use from Office to Salon and Spa
Dear Mr. Maher:
This letter is in response to your request for approval for a Minor Modification (MMD2008- 00009) at
12665 SW Hall Blvd, WC TM 2S102AD, Tax 1.,ot 700. You have requested to modify the site by • changging the use from an office to a salon and spa offenn• •gga and dance classes. The salon and spa
are classified as Personal Services and is permitted in the II:D (Central Business District) zone. You
have proposed interior improvements. No other changes to the exterior or site are proposed. The
submitted plans reflect the current and proposed conditions.
Analysis of Modification Request:
Section 18.360.060 of the Tigard Development Code Site Development Review chapter states: "Any
modification which is not within the c.escription of a major modification as provided in section
18.360.050 shall be considered a minor modification."
Section 18.360.050 states that the Director shall determine that a major modification(s) has resulted if
one (1) or more of the changes listed below have been proposed:
1. An increase in dwelling unit density or lot coverage for residential development. The
proposal does not involve residential development. The existing and proposed uses are
commercial.
2. A change in the ratio or number of different types of dwelling units. The proposal
does not involve residential development. The existing and proposes uses are commercial.
3. A change that requires additional on -site parking in accordance with Chapter 18.765.
The change of use does not increase the requirement for on -site parking. The previous use,
Office, requires 2.7 spaces per 1,000 square feet. The proposed use, Personal Services,
requires 2.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. Therefore, the requirement for onsite parking is
slightly reduced.
4. A change in the type of commercial or industrial structures as defined by the
Uniform Building Code. The applicant has not proposed any structural changes to the
building.
5. An increase in the height of the building(s) by more than 20 percent. The applicant
has not proposed any exterior changes to the building, including the height.
6. A change in the type and location of accessways and parking areas where off -site
traffic would be affected. The existing accesses on SW Hall and SW Commercial Street
will remain the same, as shown on the site plan.

7. An increase in vehicular traffic to and from the site and the increase can be expected
to exceed 100 vehicles per day. According to the Institute of Transportation Engineers
Trip Generation Manual, 6th Edition, a 1,850- square foot office building typically generates
an average of 22 vehicle trips per day. The salon and spa will generate an estimated total of
116 vehicle trips per day, based on an expected 48 clients per day and estimated five
employees. Therefore, the estimated increase in' vehicle trips per day is 94, which does not
exceed 100. In addition, the increase in vehicles for the salon/spa will be distributed
throughout the day, rather than at the peak commuting hours typical of an office.
8. An increase in the floor areas proposed for a non - residential use by more than ten
percent excluding expansions under 5,000 square feet. There will be no increase in the
size of the building. All remodeling will be inside the existing building.
9. A reduction in the area reserved for common open space and /or usable open space
that reduces the open space area below the minimum required by the code or
reduces the open space areas by more than ten percent. The proposed change in use
will not reduce open space. The applicant has not proposed any changes outside the existing
building.
10. A reduction of project amenities (recreational facilities, screening; and /or,
landscaping provisions) below the minimum established by the code or by more than
ten percent where specified in the site plan. As discussed in # 9 above, no landscaping
or open space will be reduced. Therefore, no project amenities will be reduced.
11. A modification to the conditions imposed at the time of Site Development Review
approval that is not the subject of criteria (B). 1 through 10 above this subsection.
The subject property received approved for a home to office conversion uz the 1973 (CU
6 -73) and approval for an office expansion in 1979 (SDR 5 -79). The applicant has not
proposed any modifications to the conditions of approval for these decisions.
THIS REQUEST HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE CURRENT PLANNING DIVISION.
PLEASE SUBMIT A COPY OF THIS LETTER WITH YOUR BUILDING PERMIT
APPLICATION.
This request is determined to be a minor modification to an approved site development plan. The
Directors designee has deteinlined that the proposed minor modification of this existing plan will
continue to promote the general welfare of the City and will not be significantly detrimental, nor
in jurious to surrounding properties provided that, development which occurs after this decision
complies with all applicable local, state, and federal lams.
If you need additional information or have any questions, please call the Current Planning Division at
