CITY Or TIGARD, OREGON ORDINANCE NO. 81- ,,2 L AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE DOWNTOWN TIGARD REVITALIZATION PLAN UNDER ORS 457.095. On October 12, 1981, the Tigard City Council, per Ordinance 81-91, approved formation of the Tigard Urban Renewal Agency (TURA) under ORS 457.035 and elected to be the governing body of that agency. Since that date, the Council, the Tigard Planning Commission, the Tigard Downtown Committee, and the firm of Danielson, Driscoll& Hess, Architects and Planners, have worked to complete an urban renewal plan for Council consideration under ORS 457.095. That plan, entitled "Downtown Tigard Revitalization Plan" , hereinafter referred to as "the Plan", and a background report entitled "Downtown Tigard Revitalization Plan-Report" , hereinafter referred to as "the Report" , have been prepared in accordance with ORS Chapter 457 and are now before the Tigard City Council for consideration and final action after a public hearing advertised in the Tigard Times for this date has been held and the recommenda- tions of the Tigard Planning Commission and citizens of Tigard have been considered. The Council finds and determines that the Plan is consistent both with the State-Wide Planning Goals, especially Goal 9 Economy of the State, and has been prepared in accordance with ORS 457.085. Now, therefore, IT IS ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF TIGARD: Section 1. On the basis of Council review of the Plan and Report, consideration of testimony and other submission of views of the citizens of Tigard at a public hearing held this date, and otherwise, and the recommendations of the Tigard Planning Commission, the Downtown Tigard Revitalization Plan is hereby adopted and approved in accordance with ORS 457 .095.

ORDINANCE NO. 81- _Section 4. The Council finds, determines and concludes: a. That the Urban Renewal Area, as described in Exhibit 2, Part 2 of the Plan, is a blighted area, as defined by ORS 457.010 (1) , based on Parts A, C, and D of the Report. b. The rehabilitation and redevelopment of the blighted area is necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare of Tigard based on Parts A-D of the Report. In addition, the Council finds, determines and concludes that the area is the central core of Tigard. The lack of adequate streets, storm sewers and drains, and parks and the presence of traffic conflicts and parking diffi- culties provide a further basis for Council determination :for approval of the Plan. c. Tigard has no Economic Development Plan; however, the Planning Director advised the Council, and we so find, determine and conclude that the Plan conforms to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, particularly NPO Plan No. 1. No land use changes from the NPO Plan Map are proposed by the Plan. See §700 (B) (3) of the Plan. The NPO No. 1 Plan provides an outline for accomplishing the projects proposed by the Plan approved by this ordinance. d. There are no persons proposed to be displaced by the projects proposed by the Plan. See 5700(B) (3) of the Plan and Part I of the Report. To the extent that ORS 457.095 (4) is appli- cable, the Council finds, determines and concludes that it has been met by the Plan and Report provisions described hereinbefore and which are adopted by this ordinance as city policy for the urban renewal area described in Exhibit 2, Part 2 of the Plan. e. Property to be acquired is described in §700 (B) (2) of the Plan. Each of the parcels described therein for street and railroad improvements, for Fanno Creek Park, and for parking improvements is necessary for public use and implementation of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. The street and railroad and parking improvementsarenecessary to provide access, improve traffic circulation and safety and for the economic well-being of the city and its residents. The proposed park acquisition areas are necessary to provide recreational opportunities for residents and visitors of the city and to fulfill State-Wide Planning Goal 8 of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. f. Based on SS 700 and 800 of the Plan and Parts A to H of the Report, the project is economically sound and feasible. Section 5.
