Agenda Review
Council briefly reviewed the business agenda. Councilor Fessler,
with regard to Consent Agenda Item 4.7 (Purchase of Four Police
Vehicles), cautioned that she had heard a news item that the
Caprice model was being recalled.
League of Oregon Cities:
After hearing a report from the City Administrator, council
position on requests for funding from LOC were as follows:
• Water Program Contribution - Council asked for more
information on the League's goals with regard to this
program; i.e., what do they hope to accomplish?
• The New Oregon Project Contribution - Council decided to
decline making a contribution at this time. Council
questioned the value of this program; they decided to

5. ORDINANCE CONSIDERATION: PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON SW NORTH
DAKOTA STREET
a. City Engineer Wooley reviewed the Staff Report. A
petition was received requesting that parking be
prohibited along S.W. North Dakota Street between
Tiedeman and 115th. (See staff report on file with the
meeting material.)
\ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 13, 1992 - PAGE 2
Mr. Wooley's report advised that parking restrictions
will enhance safety by improving sight distance and by
assuring that the shoulder areas are available for
pedestrian and bicycle refuge.
b. After brief discussion there was a motion by Councilor
Schwartz, seconded by Councilor Kasten, to approve the
ordinance. Councilor Schwartz advised that, while he not
generally a proponent of establishing "no parking" zones,
he thought this instance represented safety concerns and
therefore the parking restrictions were a good idea.
C. Mayor called upon members of the audience who indicated
a desire to testify on this issue:
• Bill Shank, 10593 S.W. North Dakota, noted the
street configuration near his residence and of the
need for parking in the area.
Councilor Johnson advised, that as development is
completed along the street, parking would not be
allowed there eventually in any event. She noted
the need to err on the side of safety.
d. The Mayor called for the reading of the ordinance (see b
above for motion on the floor).
ORDINANCE NO. 92-28 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TMC 10.28.130
TO PROHIBIT PARKING ON A PORTION OF SW NORTH DAKOTA
STREET.
Motion was approved by a majority vote of Council
present; Councilor Fessler voted "Nay."
Councilor Johnson urged staff to talk to the neighbors ,
about their limited parking problems.
e. Edith Carnahan, resident in the area, questioned why she
had to pay for street improvements and noticed nearby new
development where sidewalks and curbs were not
constructed. City Engineer advised that the new
development was classified as a "minor land partition"
(i.e., less than 4 lots) and such improvements were not
required at this time. However, waivers of non-
remonstrance were signed and when the remaining half-
street improvements are to be done in this area, the
property owners will be required to pay for the work at
that time.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - OCTOBER 13, 1992 - PAGE 3
A 11
f. Council discussion followed on safety concerns.
Bikepaths, according to the City Engineer, would be
required on both sides of the street to encourage
bicycling on the correct sides of the street. Mr. Wooley
noted difficulty in making connection of right-of--way
areas along this street.
6. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW/UPDATE (Continued from Study Session):
• Western Bypass: After hearing update on status of the
Bypass process from the City Administrator, City Engineer
and Community Development Director, majority council
(4-1; Councilor Johnson dissenting) consensus was for the
City to continue to participate in the process.
Councilor Johnson noted her continuing concern with the
Murray Boulevard Extension remaining as an option and
expressed misgivings in participation in the process.
City Administrator recommended that the city remain
involved in the ODOT process (Draft Environmental Impact
Study - DEIS) to persist in voicing the City's objection
to the Murray Road extension option.
Community Development Director Murphy reviewed the Land
Use, Transportation, Air Quality (LUTRAQ) alternative.
(See October 13, 1992 memorandum from Ed Murphy to Pat
Reilly which has been filed with -the Council packet
material.) '
• Cooperative Library Advisory Board Representation:
Yvonne Burgess' term as CLAB representative has expired.
After discussion, council consensus was to appoint City
Administrator as primary representative with the Library
Director designated as the alternate. This
representation will more closely match the representation
of CLAB membership from the other member libraries. In
addition, the Administrator and Library Director have
benefit of direct access to the City Counc3_1 and are
familiar with their viewpoints on financial matters.
Council asked that the Administrator notify Ms. Burgess
and to express thanks and appreciation for her
willingness to serve for the last few years.
• Metzger Park Local Improvement District (LID): Council
discussed withdrawal from the Metzger Park LID.
Councilor Kasten advised he would not participate in the
discussion noting a conflict of interest because he lives
in the subject area.
City Administrator noted the double taxation implications
for these City of Tigard residents since they pay for
parks in the City's tax base.

Council consensus was to direct staff to approach the
C Washington County Board of Commissioners requesting
withdrawal of the Tigard portion now participating in the
Metzger Park LID.
• Transportation Project: At the last Council meeting,
Council decided not to fund a Main Street Project.
Consensus of Council was to ask the Transportation
Advisory Committee to review their project priority list
and select a replacement project. 1(
• Water Issue: Council received a copy of Tigard Water I
District Resolution No. 16-92 "...committing to work with
the Cities of Tigard, King City and Durham to create an
Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement to form a joint
water agency." Council consensus was to focus on efforts
to prepare a 190 Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement. r
The public hearing scheduled for November 10, 1992, to
consider withdrawal of the City from the Water District
will not occur at that time because of the renewed 11190
Agreement" effort.

Dear Duane,
As a business owner and as a property owner of 10 acres
in the Tigard Triangle, I strongly support your
proposal for the Tigard Triangle Specific Development
Plan.
I believe the primary deterrent to our areas growth is
a complete transportation network. Once that problem
is overcome, the concept of the specific development
plan. could be the perfect solution that we all have
hoped for. I hope you are able to obtain a DLCD grant
to initiate this process. Ultimately, Tigard, Lake
Oswego and Tualatin will benefit from a properly
planned and developed Tigard Triangle.
Very truly yours,

' the state Department of Land and Development. I hope this grant will be awarded
and will aid the city of Tigard in developing a specific area plan for the Triangle.
Well-planned, well-managed development in- the 340-acre Triangle is critical to
Tigard's future as a balanced residential and business community. This area can
serve as not only a destinarion for commerce, but a local place of significant employ-
: m, ent for Tigard and surrounding communities. By planning correctly, development
f in the triangle also can serve to unprove vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic on
l Ijighway 99W through Tigard. As you-may be aware, the stare Deparmmeat of
Transportation, in the past,. as identified traffic problems on Highway 99W as one of
its top regional concerns.
` The Triangle is well situated between three major state and federal thoroughfares,
Highway 99W, Highway 217 and Interstate 5. Planning for the Triangle, aided by a
state grant, can not only help Tigard's business, community and transportation fu-
ture, but that of these three major: highways.
Good luck with your giant application. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Sincere ,

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall parking be prohibited along SW North Dakota Street between Tiedeman and
115th?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the attached ordinance.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Attached is a petition requesting that parking be prohibited along SW North
Dakota Street between Tiedeman and 115th.
In August a letter was sent to the owners of all properties along North
Dakota between Tiedeman and 115th. The letter advised property owners of the
request for parking restrictions and invited property owners to comment.
C Responses were received from six people. Three respondents favored the
proposed restrictions, two indicated "no objection", and one recommended
"leave it like it is".
North Dakota Street is a minor collector street. Much of the street is
narrow without shoulders. In 1989, the City constructed a shoulder along the
north side from 114th to Fanno Creek to provide a refuge for pedestrians and
bicycles. Portions of the street have been widened in conjunction with
residential development (half-street improvements). Parking is occurring in
the widened portions. Parked vehicles restrict sight distance for motorists
entering North Dakota from side streets and driveways.
It appears that most residents of the area either favor parking restrictions
or have no objection to the proposed restrictions. Parking restrictions will
enhance safety by improving sight distance and by assuring that the shoulder
areas are available for pedestrian and bicycle refuge.
PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the attached ordinance adopting the requested restrictions.
2. Amend the ordinance.
3. Deny the request for parking restrictions.
f
FISCAL NOTES
If the ordinance is approved, the costs for posting of "No Parking" signs
will be approximately $700.

MINOR!
Water Program Contribution
It has been said that eventually Oregon property tax bills will pale in comparison to utility bills. Facing
this crisis, the League Board established a program targeted to impacting in a positive way the multi-
million dollar water policy costs that are facing Oregon's communities. This new program involves the
addition of a League staff person whose activities will be restricted to representing city interests on water,
wastewater and stormwater issues. Over the past several years, water issues have been growing in
importance. Last year cities saw a dramatic increase in DEQ administered NPDES municipal discharge
permit fees. This year we anticipate activity in the conversion of minimum streamflows to in-stream water
rights as well as the possible imposition of water user fees to fund State Water Resources Department
operations. At the federal level, we are facing re-authorization of the Clean Water Act and imposition of
new EPA wastewater regulations. The League's Board intends that the activities of a new staff member
will include technical research as well as lobbying in areas related to water, wastewater and stormwater
issues. Enterprise revenues such as water and/or sewer utility funds may be used to fund this portion of
the annual dues. The amount established for payment is based on a graduated scale using city population
categories.
Legal Advocacy Voluntary Contribution
Since 1956, the League has maintained a Legal Advocacy Fund to respond to individual city requests for
assistance in preserving and protecting city authority in cases before state agencies and at the appellate
court level. Some of the major city issues in which the League has participated in over the past few years
include: telephone franchise fees must be passed on to all users of the system and not just city residents;
and determining whether staffing levels are mandatory subjects of collective bargaining. Recent requests
by cities involve challenges to city ordinances on parks, drainage and transportation fees. The U3ague
Board has authorized an additional thrust for the legal assistance fund which includes proactive initiation
of legal proceedings. Because many issues critical to cities are decided by state agencies and the courts,
your voluntary contributions to the'L.egal Advocacy Fund are essential in continuing this vital assistance to
cities.
The New Oregon Protect Voluntary Contribution
In early 1991, the League of Oregon Cities and the Association of Oregon Counties joined to form the
AOC/LOC Joint Project - a program to tell "The Local Government Story", to get the word out about
what we do and how and why we do it. Most importantly, the Joint Project became the catalyst for
debating the issue of state finance reform at the local level. Local elected officials are confronting tough
challenges in the wake of the passage of Measure 5. During the first year of the project, city and county
officials encouraged and facilitated citizen involvement in the largest public meeting process of Oregon's
history -The Conversation with Oregon." Not only did we make the "grass roots" effort happen, we got
our foot in the door, we sat down at the table and gave, inp+_t to the --ovei►or's tax package. Following a
non-productive Special Session, the job is certainly not over. Cities need to continually make sure their
local and collective needs are addressed. They need to participate in any funding proposal crafted by the
Legislature. Voluntary contributions received will include funding further issues of the New Oregon
newsletter, provide for research, data collection, and regional forums. Heading into the 1993 legislative
session. these basic elements will enhance cities' ability to be players, not just affected bystanders.

RE: Proposed Regulations Governing Theaters
At your request, I have prepared a short memorandum discussing
whether it is legally possible to prohibit theaters from allowing
viewing of videos or movies in enclosed booths. Our office has
researched regulations from other jurisdictions and we have
concluded that such a content-neutral regulation would likely
survive a challenge. The purpose of such a regulation would be to
protect the public health, safety and welfare from negative effects
of enclosed viewing booths. These include the potential for
criminal activity, spread of fire,and spread of disease.
A regulation affecting theaters must be content-neutral because
Article I, Section 8 of the Oregon Constitution, prohibits
regulation of speech based on content. Therefore, the following
suggested amendments to the Tigard Community Development Code
(TCDC) would apply to all theaters. r
In addition, the TCDC currently allows adult uses in the Central
Business District and General Commercial District.
The proposed amendments'are as follows:
1. Add a new chapter 18.110 to read as follows:
Chapter 18.110
Theater Regulations
Sections
18.110.010 Purpose
18.110.020 Chapter Definitions

18.110.010 Purpose
A. This section is intended to protect the public
health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry of
Tigard through the regulation of theaters by
prohibiting enclosed viewing booths in order to
reduce the potential for fire, spread of disease,
and criminal activities.
18.110.020 Chapter Definition
A. "Viewing Booth" for the purposes of this section,
a viewing booth is any booth, cubicle, room or stall
that is physically separated from other areas by a
door, curtain partition, drapery or other device or
material and is designed, intended or used to
provide for viewing of motion pictures, films or
_ videotapes in private.
18.110.030 Regulations
A. All theaters shall be physically arranged so that
the entire portion of any and all viewing booths
shall be visible from a common area of the premises.
Visibility shall not be blocked or obscured by
doors, curtains, partitions, drapes, or any other
device or material whatsoever.
B. All viewing booths shall be lighted so that the
persons in them are visible from the adjacent common
area, but such lighting shall not be of such
intensity as to prevent the viewing of motion
pictures, films, or videotapes.
2. Amend the Code to provide a general definition of theater as
follows:
Section 18.26.030 "Theater"
"All establishments used for the presentation or
viewing of motion pictures, films or videotapes of
any type."

Please let me know if you would like us to proceed further with
this.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Pat Reilly, City Administrator
FROM: Ed Murphy, Director of Community Development
DATE: October 13, 1992
SUBJECT: LUTRAQ Alternative
You had asked me to review the LUTRAQ Alternative and provide some
comments to you and the City Council. Based just on a cursory
review, following are my comments
WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
The issue is whether or not the LUTRAQ Alternative should be
carried forward as one of five alternatives to be analyzed in the
DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Study). The LUTRAQ Alternative has
already been evaluated in the "alternatives stage" of the Western
Bypass Study, and has been found to perform reasonably well
compared to the other alternatives.
WHY IS THAT AN ISSUE?
Although the Council will be asked to take formal action at a later
date on the proposal to include LUTRAQ in the DEIS, the Metro
council will take action sooner. ODOT has already recommended that
the LUTRAQ alternative be carried forward into the DEIS. The
Council may wish to let the Metro councilors know of any comments
and concerns prior to them taking action.
WHAT IS THE LUTlRAQ ALTERNATIVE?
"LUTRAQ" stands for "Land Use, Transportation, Air Quality". It is
a national demonstration project to develop methodologies for
creating alternative suburban land use patterns and design
standards and evaluating their impacts on
. automobile dependency
. mobility
. air quality
. energy consumption and
. sense of community
1
f
The alternative itself has a land use component as well as a
transportation component. The land use component suggests placing
the majority of new housing units and future jobs within walking
distances of light rail and fixed route bus lines; creating "mixed
use centers" that reduce the travel distance for many local trips
and increase the viability of walking or bicycling; and creating a
street system that allows direct connections to local destinations
without using the arterial or highway system.
The transportation component includes a major emphasis on light
rail and express service, as well as local feeder busses; demand
responsive bus service; bicycle and pedestrian improvements; and
selected roadway improvements. The roadway improvements included
the projects listed on the "No Build" option, plus others which
were selected from the "planned projects/TSM°' alternative of the
ByPass study, and include (in this area)
Widening 99W to six lanes between Pfaffle and Commercial
. Widening 217 to six lanes
. Widening Durham to three lanes
. Widening McDonald to three lanes (99W to 97th)
law Widening Gaarde to three lanes (99W to 121st)
In addition, the LUTRAQ alternative includes the TDM !
(Transportation Demand Management) package developed in the ByPass
Study.
HOW DID IT PERFORM? 1
According to ODOT's evaluation summary, the LUTRAQ alternative
performs especially well at reducing peak hour vehicle miles
traveled, and at reducing reliance on the single occupancy vehicle.
It does not perform as well on accessibility or congestion
reduction as other alternatives.
IS THE LUTRAQ ALTERNATIVE A REALISTIC OPTION?
The concept`i.s one worthy of further exploration. However, some of
the sites that LUTRAQ is depending on have practical difficulties
associated with them... sometimes they are already built upon,
sometimes they are in wetlands, sometimes they are already
committed to other uses. Implementing LUTRAQ would be difficult
over the next twenty years.
WHAT DOES LUTRAQ MEAN FOR TIGARD?
It is supportive of increased densities and land use intensity in
the Triangle, Washington Square area, and downtown. It supports
increased densities along Scholls Ferry. It would suggest light
rail serving Tigard, and expanded bus service. It would build up
the densities along Tualatin-Sherwood Road. It would take land out
2
of production for industrial uses in Washington county and convert
' it to residential and commercial uses. It includes many of the
arterial expansion options, i.e.. widening local arterials.
WHAT ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS COULD THE COUNCIL TAKE RIGHT
NOW?
1. No position. Wait and see what happens at the Metro council
level. Plan to make formal comments later along with the
other Bypass alternatives being studied.
2. Encourage LUTRAQ to be included. Why? It may include some
good suggestions that will be acceptable to the City Council
ultimately. It would be a fair way to evaluate all of the
options- It may reduce the potential of a successful lawsuit
against the DEIS process. If it is not a good alternative, it
will show up in the DEIS. -
3. Discourage LUTRAQ from being included. Why? It does not
appear practical to evaluate a land use alternative alongside
transportation-related alternatives in a DEIS, especially when
the implementation structures are not apparent. The
alternative appears to be beyond a 20 year time horizon; the
alternative could be better reviewed as part of the Metro 2040
process.
RECOMMENDATION.
Give moral support to the LUTRAQ study, and encourage Metro to
formally make it a part of the 2040 Study, but not a part of the
DEIS.
