I C � x l i i y£� INTRODUCTION • The comprehensive plan describes the intentions of the Tigard City Council with respect to future development. IThe comprehensive plan indicates desirable patterns of land use and traffic circulation, and plans for the location and development of community facilities. The plan describes the objective. that have been set by local officials and the t policies and standards that have been adopted to reach the objectives.The plan �• provides a framework for an ongoing program of detailed neighborhood Plans and design studies,and will indicate priorities as they are agreed to with respect to the allocation of public resources for public improvements. Actions of local government officials influence the course of urban growth.Local officials have an obligation to set down in a comprehensive plan their intentions f con—ming.future action that will guide the course of public and private development. Citizens and developers can look to the comprehensive Plan as a statement of - intent by public agencies with respect to the development of streets and utilities, land use,and the provision of such public facilities as schools and parks.City and Icounty officials will also look to the Plan in administering all applicable ordinances,such as zoning and subdivision regulations. Tigard is Part of the larger.Portland metropolitan o the and Pans and cannot be Alas odl independently. Consideration has been 9 ,r neighboring communities and to the general guidelines that are laid down from time to time by regional planning agencies in the metropolitan area.At the same time,there are many basic decisions that should be made by local citizens about how the Tigard area ought to grow.These include, for example,the intensity of land use in residential,commercial,and industrial areas.the amount and location of open space to be retained in the community,the location of schools and other public facilities,and standards for improvernimt of local streets. The completion and adoption of the Tigard Community Plan marks the first step in the planning Process in the Tigard area. It provides a generalized land use pattern and much needed standards and Policies to guide the community's rapid growth. Further detailed studies and area plans will be carried out as supplements to the adopted Community Plan.H ghest priority items include L PI-.-o Supplements,which describe Precisely himionmg districts will tee 5 delineated with respecl to specific parcels of land and to the natural 3 } a� i i f 2. Zoning and subdivision ordinance revisions, which are necessary for ' plan implementation. ' Other detailed elements which will be carried out within the framework of the Community Planning process include: t E 1. Housing Element t . 2. Open Space—Park Program { r 3. Design Concept Plans It should be emphasized that the Tigard Community Plan is not static, but rather ` n ongoing process. To be effective, the planning process must be part of a { 9 9 continuous and the Tigard Community Plan must be reviewed regularly. The plan will bi completely reviewed every five years and revised to better reflect the community's changing needs and desires. In addition, the preparation of a county-wide comprehensive plan and metropolitan-wide comprehensive plan will require the immediate review of the Tigard Community Plan to assure the coordination of development in East-Washington County. i jr I r 4 f t s 7 77 TW 77 f TIOMAS' 1 e"VoRum, .,.' t �s .ay. ��t rr, } '.`y° ` *,of IRS ` ASS ATWt6KTIP1 LI 7 lid C 0--ME-NENMUMEMEMM i PLANNING AREA r The comprehensive plan for Tigard takes in the present city and closely related 11 areas. The"planning area" is bounded by Scholls Ferry Road and Garden Home Road on the north, the Tualatin River on the south,Interstate 5 on the east and r Real Rant Rnad on rhe wast. This is an area of 19.5 square miles. Present population, is estimated at approximately 23.500 persons. r PHYSICAL SETTING 1 Much of the area is gently rolling and hilly. Elevation varies from 110 feet along the Tusiaiir; nivx a! !M+southern edge of the planning area, to 710 feet at the ( top of Bull Mountain. Many of the hilly areas provide excellent views of the Tualatin Basin,Chehalem and Tualatin Mountains,and the Cascade Range. The planning area is drained by the Tualatin River and Fanno Creek and their tributary streams.These drainageways are lined with trees and provide a network 1( of open spaces. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE T. looking north~from Hall Boulevard reward Highvwy 99-W and beyond. ( The Tigard area,named after 19th century settlers,was a farming area until the early 1950's.Even before incorporation in 1961.Tigard was developing as a sub- urban community with scattered low-density residential developments.More inten- sive land Ines were limited to Highway 99-W and,not surprisingly,concern for de- velopment standards and density controls was practically nonexistent. .o. .'"•.. " :•'�s The asonna of adequate planning, combined with sudden growth during the sixties, left the community unprepared. Tigard b„^garn to exhibit the effects of inadequate planning—inefficient residential sprawl, unimaginative subdivision i design, land use conflicts,strip commercial development,traffic congestion,sign clutter.and diminishing open space. s j EXISTING tlEVELW'htEhT PATTERN 1 { The planning area encompasses the residential communities of Metzger,Durham, and King City and parts of Garden Home and Progress.All of these communities are geographically and economically related to Tigard,but each maintains its own identity and uniqueness. Approximately 21 percent of the planning area is presently developed for urban f uses. Roughly 1,600 acres have been developed for residential subdivisions at t urban densities,220 acfes have been built UP for business use,and 130 acres are daveloped for industrial Use,Public uses,mainly schools,account for 170 acres. Most of the remaining area Is either in farms or undeveloped. e L 7 Y.

Ir Mufti-family residential development is generally located adjacent to major arterials such as Highway 99•W. Highway 217, Hall Boulevard,and Greenburg y Road. Due to unimaginative site planning and design,apartment developments JA often conflict with adjoining single-family dwellings. N Single-famity, residential development is dispersed throughout the planning area. f t Some Ivens contain unrelated subdivisions with a minimum of open space,white others contain homes on large lots. TRAFFIC RMTEf Higimvay 9i9-Wand Sem Rana 217 '] The planning area is served by Ov"81 major transPMUtion routes that also divide the are into sactiors. Highway 99-W WAS lacat traffic and links coastal and Portland destinations. Interstate 5 serves as a rout to both Portland and s ' population canters in the Willamette Valley.State Highway 217,which runs amt and wast,links Interstate 5 with the Beaverton area and the Sunset Highway. x F ii rf F WATER SERVICE y.' }"•,� Water service is provided by four separate water districts that encompass about fes . . percent of the planning area.Water for the Garden Home,Progress,and Metzger t' a water districts is supplied by the City of Portland.The Tigard Water District is -� supplied primarily by walls. Durham contracts for w9ter with the lake Grove Water District. , , A recent water study titled"Wotan Supply and Distribution Study for Turd Watm District and City of TiWd,Orccsn," 1971,indicates several alternative methods for meeting future water needs.The improved dig-ibution system for F t lei the Tigard Wates District a tieing implemented.A decision regarding the future �us xj a..r f kir YA; source of water supply will heed n be made before 1975. SEWERAGE SERVICE The Unified Sewerage Agency of Washington County has responsibility for providing ' sanitary sewage service far the entire planning area.Aaordirg to the present Schad- { We,major trunk lines and treatmuant facilities to servo the Running area will be corn plated between 1974 and 19%. 116 5 WATER E & SEWERAGE exemwQ �vss la�x>ale L"-*=W#A:. f h -ro 4w, 040486GMS 0JG M t eaumm: (Ut AMM8"im vOkTM 4 csswxl" , s` K*OnK nr+-QV"VAJ r wa► a —MOM W "It DIerpNCY- s �, StAtp tq r r 00 on go ;jj �a �-'� .�, rug'' ; �-g• � f- ' q Y ;4 i @.. { u 5 Yid i r i k f 1 { ASSUMPTIONS .u,OCa , } The following assumptions are made as a basis for planning.

'Because of its favorable location with respect to major highways and the availability of residential, commercial, and industrial land,Tigard will grow ; at a more rapid rate than the Portland metropolitan area as a whole. 20,000 +.• The population of metropolitan Portland will Increase from one million in 1970 to 1.45 million in 1990, according to projections by CRAG. This j. 1 represents an annual growth rate of nearly 2 percent. Washington County has grown at an annual rate of 4.8 percent over the past 10,000 20 years and 5.5 percent over the past 10 years.Assuming the growth rate for the past 20 years continues,the population of Washington County will increase from 158,000 in 1970 to 400,000 in 19%. This estimate is considerably more than the most recent projection by CRAG of 261,000 by 1990. 0 Its0 1990 1970 1990 . . - The population of the Tigard area will increase from 23.000 in 1970 to POPULATION TREND-TIGARDPLANNING AREA 74,000 in 1990. This represents an arnc-31 growth rate of 6 percent, Adherence to land use and development policies described in the plan will tend to retard this rapid growth rate.fRecent growth measurements indicate { that growth in the Tigard area may exceed this estimate.For the past throe years,Tigard's population,assessed value,and utility franchise revenues have all incremd at least 25 percent over each previous Yew.) RESIDENTIAL DENSITY 1 2. The density of residential development will continue to increase.The popula- tion density is projected to increase from 10 to 13 persons per gross residential 1 acre at ultimate development.Based on this increated density,the population of the Tigard area will approach 115.1000 it the area beoomes fully developed at the densities described in the plan. (See Appendix for an explanation of the population estimates.) THE ECONOMY 1 3.

The basic public utilities—sewers and water—that are necessary to support — continuing development in the Tigard area will be completed by 1990.The metropolitan area will be served by a system of public mass transportation that will link Tigard with other employment centers. The basic freeway system serving the Tigard area will be completed before 1990. } �� 1 nww S i t Unified Stwerepe Agency of Washington County fa77 t --- - - COMMUNITY GOALS l COMMUNITY GOALS i The goals listed below indicate the broad purposes or obiectives of the comprehensive plan and serve as a"check list"in evaluating specific development proposals- I t. The city intends to limit the ultimate population of the planning area.The comprehensive plan provides for a maximum population of around 115,000 t people. There are four categories of residential density, ranging from a suburban density of 2 families per acre to a high in selected areas of up to 40 families per acre.This range of residential densities is intended to provide a variety of living environments that will accommodate the housing needs of 1 different family size and income.The density of population influences the character of residential areas and determines the demand for public facilities and services in different parts of the city.The citizens of the community j should know the density of development that is planned for different parts of the city as it affects their own neighborhoods.City officials need to know the demands for different public facilities and services in different parts of the city. slr'!+w4J 2. The comprehensive plan recognizes the established character of existing neighborhoods and seeks to preserve and enhance existing neighborhood values. Future development proposals should be sensitive to the concern of citizens for their own immediate environment as well as to the well being of the city as a whole. 3. The comprehensive re plan takes advantage of the natural features that give Tigard a distinctive character and quality.These include topographic.features such as Bull Mountain,Little Bull Mountain,and Fanno Creek.Fanno Creek and its tributary streams provide natural drainage ways and make possible a system.of greenways connecting various parts of the city.The comprehensive - planrecognizesthe potential of greenways in enhancing the livability of the community.The implementation of a greenway system is a major element of the Tigard comprehensive plan. i 4. Heavy traffic is noisy, smelly, and dangerous. It conflicts with residential values and with many of the other activities within the city.Therelare major traffic routes need to be designed and located in a manner that will minimize these inherent conflicts,at the same time allowing motorists to reach their destinations quickly and safely.The comprehensive plan provides for improvements in the traffic system,it designates streets and highways by j category, ;ilio it sets standards for their design..The major street pattern mnccaled m nm.comprehensive plan will give notice as to how the city llintends to none major tratlic voinmex in the fulure. 1 '�fy t7 { r j c S k j } L t f n 5. Convenience is a major objective in locating shopping facilities and other busi- nesses. At the same time their location should not conflict with residential areas or create unnecessary traffic congestion.Tigard does not have "central business district"in the sense that a very large proportion of its stores and other businesses are concentrated in one central location. The comprehen• sive plan seeks a distribution of neighborhood and community shopping cen- ters in locations that are easily accessible to the areas they serve.These shop- j ping centers will be designed in a manner that will minimize land use and tral. fie conflicts. i (� 6. There is still an abundance of vacant land in the Tigard area that has • - potential for industrial development,and the comprehensive plan is designed to encourage its use for this purpose.An objective of the plan is to create employment opportunities within the community for those parsons who five there. The plan also recognizes the.importance of a balanced tax base in supporting necessary community facilities and services. Regulations set for industrial development will insure high standards that are in the interest of industry and the city as a whole. 7, The location of schools and parks affects the livability of Tigard's residential neighborhoods.youngsters in the elementary grades should be able to walk to school and should not have to cross busy streets.Where possible,parks and schools should be developed on adjacent sites, tied to the greenway system. While the patterns of existing development and the topography do not always permit an ideal arrangement of schools and parks. the comprehensive plan will assist the community to approach this objective. f t A, ail 4 ' Y 4 t 1 , e� z kFF 1 tpp t F. l i F ..

The map shows various locations for "community stropping" and ..regional shopping"and a location for a"civic center." Each of the land use categories are described separately below. f Under the heading Objectives is a list of goals that describe the unique purposes l for each land use category. Under the heading Policia and Standards is an explanation of the course of action and the standards the city intends to adopt in order to meet the objectives. of the particular category. The Objectives and Policia and Standards will be reflected in the city zc+ring and subdivision regulations. f RESIDENTIAL LAND USE I The map shows three residential categories distinguished by density. These densities are described in terms of dwelling units per"gross residential acre."For Planning purposes it is assumed that 30 percent of each gross residential acre will be developed with streets, schools, parks, and other public uses and that 70 ,latent will be developed with homes. i 21 M t f r i j 1 The three residential categunes are intended to ay.ommudale different iypes nl residential development,altrxdog iarnilies a chmce of living accomnxxdanons. t. tp 1 •�• � Selected 'areas may be developed zs a "Planned inn;' with cluster housing or "townhouse".units and ccimpensatnsg open space- The lor.�tjon and design of a '+- "planned unit development" will be subject to the approval of the planning CZInCpIr commission. o _ � V SUBURBAN LOWQENSITY RESIDENTIAL r ' The Bull Mountain area and the Durham area are designated for low-density X== �' residential use.

Permit the design and construction of residential streets in 'suburban a9 1 low-density"areas to standards that reflect a suburban character,such as the use of rolled curbs or thickened edged pavements, and the deletion of sidewalks and street lights. URBAN LOW-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL There are four large areas designated for urban low-density housing—northwest and southeast of Highway 990,south of Bull Mountain along the Tualatin River, and in the Metzger area.The predominant use in these areas will be single-family �•�171 l0�a ` housing.

P GENERAL COMMERCIAL y; A "general commercial" land use category is indicated along parts of Highway 99-W and at interchange locations along Interstate 5.Them areas accommodate a L range of retail and service commercial uses that benefit from a highway-oriented location.The development of individual properties in theta areas should take into account the traffic-safety and visual problems associated with"strip commercial development." The present pattern of development along Highway 99-W is not desirable.It is dangerous,inefficient,confusing,and unsightly. The plan indicates definite limits to the present strip pattern in order to minimize the impact of existing conditions. Future development along Highway 99-W will be carefully reviewed in accordance with standards in the plan and in applicable L zoning regulations.Deeper setbacks to afford space for landscaping,limits on the size and number of signs and on their location, and strict regulation of the 6, number and location of vehicle access points can help to minimize tM problem. 26 yry'Y"����. :l r e r Y p` -«.. f;lir,.o6,riSyp Y. :$i..a Of,T'� t 3 � •,H� ' - t r .� �t C i?+r � C- `�-' # .,•'aY". . rf''�y.,�:,,f: '3 !!-HSS-N.t`����f..�4 ' J i f t i f i i 4 �._ :��� .1 jTfL�s�_S. •-i.x�'a>�'_s z:i2'r�"7 "[f�f A f r fb _ f j �y.., :.

The city will work to reconcile these differences as long-range transportation needs and solutions are identified in more specific terms The plan classifies streets in terms of purpose and relative need. Streets are classified as freeways,expressways,arterials,collectors,and local streets.They are indicated in the plan as "existing;' "proposed." and "anticipated." Thsse classifications are described below. NEED e� Existing and proposed routes form the street system that can be expected in the x future with reasonable certainty. "Existing" indicates an improved street that serves the purpose shown and may require up-grading to meet design criteria. "Proposed indicates a street that does not presently exist although plans indicating an improrament or definite corridor have leen proposed."Anticipated" indicates a very broad and generalized corridor that may require a major street in the distant future. At present, however, ton little is known about the ruled, location,and design standards of"anticipated"routes to directly relate them to .� ..the circulation system. O 1.

In keeping with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the 1 environmental impact of each naw, major transportation route will be evaluated to assure that potential negative influences on adjoining areas are minimized. 3.

The planning area is served primarily by Tigard School District No. 23J, with the following schools in the planning area: Metzger, Durham, Phil Lewis, Charles Tigard, and Templeton Elementary Schools, Twality and Fowler Junior High Schools, and Tigard Senior High School. The planning area is also served by two other school systems. Beaverton School District No. 48 serves a portion of the planning area along the western and northern edges. St. Anthony's, a parochial school, is also located in Tigard. St. Anthony's has a 280 student capacity and draws students from throughout the planning area. Portland Community College also serves the Tigard area. The main campus is located one-half mile west of the Tigard area along S.W. 49th Avenue. This present campus facility, plus future facilities planned for Washington County, will adequately serve the community college requirements of Tigard. Policies and Standards An objective of ,he comprehensive plan is to develop a walking relationship between schools and their service areas. General guidelines for service areas are . indicated below: (a) All schools: Provide safe, convenient access by walking. Service areas �t should not cross arterial streets or other safety hazards. Select sites l( along greenways. -� (b) Elementary school: One-half mile radius. Collector streets should not cross the service.area. Locate sites within residential areas to promote neighborhood identity. (c) Junior high school: One mile radius. (d) Senior high school: One and one-half mile radius. Locate sites near collector streets to handle vehicular traffic. Site Standards 1. Joint School District No. 23J has adopted state standards for establishing -new school sites. Specifically; (a) Elementary school: Five usable acres plus one usable acre;for each 100 students. An optimum enrollment is 600 students on an 11-acre site. e i F (b) Junior high school: Ten usable acres plus one usable acre for each 100 students. An optimum enrollment is 1,000 students on a 20-acre site. t (c) Senior high school: Ten usable acres plus one usable acre for each 100 students. An optimum enrollment is 1,500 students on a 30-acre site. 1 2. It is in the public interest to: i r � (a) Locate more than one school on a single campus, and I (b) Integrate parks with schools in order to reduce the overall site area requirements, reduce maintenance costs, and maximize use of facilities. , Y Present Plans 1. Tigard School District No. 23J indicates the following plans: (a) The phasing out of Fowler Junior High School by 1973-74. i (b) Anew junior high school on a site at Tiedeman-and Walnut Streets by 1973-74 to replace Fowler Junior High School. i (c) A new elementary school on a site at 121st and Katherine Street by 1975-1976. (d) Anew high school on a site adjoining the new junior high on Walnut ; Street by 1976-77 (e) Partial utilization of Phil Lewis Elementary School for special education purposes. Future Needs 1. More schools than are presently planned will be needed as the area develops. School needs at` ultimate development are projected as follows: 22 X elementary, 6 junior high, and 4 senior high schools. These projections are based on the "holding capacity" of residential land as established in the comprehensive plan. f K f ij � i i i 1 a Z >3 49 e GREENWAY SYSTEM Pedastrianway and Bikeway Opportunities 11�RPN MIIis El Ej so 41 ° M F urs r_. s f ° _ 5 f '•.1MG81 1 E r^ F ..... �` ..�:.

N 'L �l.^.N���s �a i • w X :.1 PARKS A park and open space system is described on the map "Schools and Parks." Tigard has the opportunity now to develop a system of neighborhood and community parks and public open spaces that will help perpetuate Tigard's quality as a suburban residential community. GREENWAYS Objectives 1. To utilize the natural drainageways provided by the Tualatin River, Fanno i Creek, and their tributaries as the basic element in a system of connecting open spaces. 2. To integrate other linear open spaces, such as abandoned railroad grades and major utility easements, into the "natural" greenway system, in order to supplement the "natural" system. 3. To establish a greenway system that will (a) tie together recreation areas, schools, and their service areas; (b) provide protective buffers between incompatible land uses; (c) reduce flood hazard by restricting development along natural drainageways; (d) provide opportunities for passive recreation activities; (e) afford alternative pedestrian and bicycle circulation routes separated from the street system and motorized vehicles; and (f) preserve the amenity of the area. Policies and Standards 1 1. Where possible, school sites and neighborhood and community parks and playgrounds will be locwjj d along the greenways. Woodward, Bellwood, and Cook parks already fit into this pattern. 2. Preserve natural drainageways by prohibiting development that would obstruct the flood plain, as provided in the zoning regulations. The flood plain of the Tualatin River and Fanno Creek has been delineated by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. J3. Encourage the conservation of natural tree cover and the provision of public access along smaller drainageways with undef`ned flood plains, as well as the J larger streams and creeks. Techniques such as planned unit development, the granting of easements(visual, conservation, or access), and land donation to the city, county, or quasi•public organizations may be used for this purpose. .1 R4. Encourage developers on both sides of Fanno Creek to conserve all trees within 50 feet of the adjoining bank. This will create a physical buffer over 1 100 feet wide (including the creek channel) to separate potentially t conflicting land uses lying on opposite sides of the creek. Since the 100-year flood plain ranges from 100 to 800 feet in width along the creek, the buffer will not upsurp land that is suitable for development. 5. As circumstances permit, encourage the acquisition of public access easements in addition to construction and maintenance easements, ::here utility corridors fall within the greenway system. For example, the sewer easements required for the Fanno Creek, King City, and Tualatin River interceptor sewers and the power transmission easement across Bull Mountain provide opportunities for joint use of utility easements for pedestrian ways r and linear parks. I NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS Objectives 1. To provide small or medium-size neighborhood parks and playgrounds in proximity to residential areas. 2. To develop elementary schools and parks together in order to integrate complementary facilities, reduce maintenance costs, and achieve greater utilization. 3. To provide additional open space adjacent to schools that will create a buffer between school activity areas and adjoining homes. Policies and Standards 1. In general, P neighborhood arks will average 10 acres. On sites adjoining 9 elementary schools, open school playground areas will be included as part of this average site requirement. These sites will serve a residential population of 3,000 to 7,000. Smaller sites may be obtainQw where the development pattern or financial restraints prohibit this "optimum" size. 2. Initial em Phasis will be on a program of land acquisition rather tharsite development in order to deve':rp an inventory of suitable sites while land values are least expensive. 3. Each park will be individually designed and developed with playground facilities, picnic areas, and other amenities based on the recommendations of neighborhoodresidents and the city park department. t 4. Site acquisition will be coordinated with school. officials in order to secure .� integrated sites. 5. Clusters or groupings of residential structures, using "planned unit 'J development" techniques, will be permitted as compensation for providing additional usable open space for neighborhood parks. COMMUNITY PARKS Objectives 1. To provide areas which are large enough to serve both outdoor and indoor recreation needs of several residential neighborhoods. — 2. To develop park areas with junior and senior high schools in order to integrate complementary fcciiiiies, reduce maintenance costs, and achieve greater utilization. 3. To develop large open spaces along streams, such as Cook Park on the Tualatin River, that will take advantage of natural features and provide ropportunities for boat launching, fishing, day camps, picnicking, and large group activities. Policies and Standards 1. In general, community parks will average 20 to 30 acres. On sites adjoining schools, school facilities available for public recreation will be included as part of this average site requirement. Park sites of this size will serve two to three residential neighborhoods. 2. _Community parks adjoining schools will be developed with recreation J facilities, such as indoor or outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, and archery ranges, that will supplement the gym and playfield facilities normally provided at junior and senior high schools. 3. initial emphasis will be on a program of land acquisition rather than site development in order to develop an inventory of suitable sites while land values are least expensive. j4. Site acquisition will be coordinated with school officials in order to secure integrated sites. i i a t: REGIONAL PARK ot'jective a 1.

The average density of development for each residential land use category is indicated in the plan. The method for arriving at the ultimate population figures is simply the arithmetic of expanding the number of groes acres in each residential category to total dwelling units (average density of the category times total gross acres in the category) and multiplying dwelling units by the anticipated average number of persons per X household. For this purpose, the planning area is divided into four demographic I areas. F I Actual population of the Tigard planning area at "full" development is expected to be somewhat less than the estimates due to the desire of some individuals to own larger lots, topographic conditions, and existing development patterns. All estimates reflect assumptions with respect to decreases in average family size and smaller family size in multi-family dwellings. i TIGARD PLANNING AREA POPULATION HOLDING CAPACITY CALCULATIONS F .AVERAGE r AVERAGE NUMBER OF ESTIMATED DEMOGRAPHIC RESIDENTIAL GROSS ACRES.
