LCDC HOVSING GOAL

Buildable lands for residential use shall be inventoried and plans shall en-
courage the availability of adequate numbers of housing units at price ranges and {
rent Levels which are commensurate with the financial capo_bilities of Oregon house-
holds and allow for flexibility of housing location, type and density. "
r
]PROPOSED HOUSING POLICIES FOR TIGARD
4
PROBLEM AREA #1 {
1Iany individuals who work in the area are unable to find suitable
housing because of cost and a relatively narrow range of opportunities.
On the other hand some existing housing is in unsuitable locations
(eg. flood plains) . The community lacks a coordinated housing program
which addresses these and other housing problems of the area.
Policy 1. Housing development shall occur, to the greatest extent possible, on
designated buildable lands (those lacking flood hazard, severe soil
limitations, etc.)
Policy 2. The conmunity shall, promote and encourage a diversity of housing densities
and residential types that are available at various prices and rents to
households of all incomes, age, sex, race and living patterns. Such
housing should include, but not be limited to single family residences,
duplexes, apartments, mobile homes, condominiums and town houses.
Policy 3. Housing units shaZZ be designed, constructed, and ,-maintained so that
the community is assured of safe, sanitary, and convenient living con-
ditions in dwellings that are sound, energy efficient, and attractive
in their appearance.
Policy 4. Prohibit housing discrimination based on race, sex, religion, creed.,
and marital status.
PROBLEM AREA #2
Tigard residents fear their established neighborhoods are being threat-
ened by rapid change due to growth. The location of higher density
and low income housing are subjects of particular concern. In addition
new residential developments can create public facility shortages
(eg. schools) and increased taxes.
Policy 5. As stated by the adopted NPO (Neighborhood Planning Organization) pZans,
the residential character of estabZished neighborhoods shaZZ be
protected and means sought to ensure their preservation.
- 11 -
Policy 6. Devise methods for ensuring the availabilitu of public services impacted
by a deveZopment (under LCDC Coal #ZZ). .
Policy 7. Multi-f=iZy housing shaZZ be Located according to appropriate standards
as indicated in Neighborhood Planning Organization plans.
Policy 8. Low and moderate income housing units sho;Z be located according to
appropriate standards (eg., not concentrations of undue size, to minimize
impacts on existing neighborhoods, etc.).
PROBLEM AREA #3
i
The rapid increase in housing costs excludes many families from obtaining
suitable housing to meet their needs. Among the more important causes
is the risingcost of land. Building costs have contributed to this
situation . Excessive government standards (eg. , zoning, subdivision
codes) are a significant cause of single family housing costs and effectiv-
ely exclude alternatives to conventional housing. Even with a
significant change in housing cost trends, there will still remain an
unmet need for low income housing. {
Policy 9. Encourage housing development in areas where public facilities already
exist (eg., sewer, water, streets).
Policy Z0. Revise the zoning ordinance to permit mobile home subdivisions and F
parks in suitable areas and under standards which make them co7npatible F
with the neighborhood.
Policy ZZ. Review and revise the sui)division and zoning codes to ascertain the
presence of any unduly restrictive provisions which could sig7iificantZy '
increase costs while providing ri.egZigible benefits.
Policy 7,2. Revise lot size requirements to allow smaller lot sizes in designated areas.
Policy Z3. AcceZera.te the review process for approval of development proposals where
the quality of the review is not adversely affected.
i
a � subsidized housing assistance to meet

Tigard's fair sk7re of ZocallregionaZ housing needs. f
PROBLEM AREA #4 �
Single-family dwelling to satisfy only a portion of the housing needs in
the Tigard area. Existing vacancy rates and projection trends indicate
a need to provide for additional multiple-family housing. More generally,
there is a. need for a greater diversity of housing densities.
i
Policy lam. Provide greater diversity Gf housing density (eg., auple:xes, �1-P lex,
attached s;,ngZe-famiZy units, etc.).

Policy Z8. Provide for a diversity of housing types in large residential planned
unit deveZopments which offer the opportunity to plan for their

their special facility and locational needs. Elderly homeowners
sometimes have financial difficulty maintaining their home.
Policy U. Encourage elderly group-Ziving arrangements (eg., apartments with
shared facilities) in appropriate locations.
Policy 18. Allow elderly Danmeowners to take boarders.
t'

enforcement, renovation, and rehabilitation of the existing housing
stock.
