3. JOINT MEETING WITH THE LIBRARY BOARD
Library Board members present: Larry Beck, Lon Hoklin, Nancy J. Irwin, Chris
Lewis, Angus McKay, and Jack Schwab.
Library Director Kathy Davis made introductory remarks.
Ms. Davis advised that Library Chairman Carl Kostol resigned recently so there` is
a vacancy on the Board.
Library Board members presented the City Council with ideas on past, present and
future needs of the Library.
Library Board member Nancy Irwin commented on the wide variety of services
offered by the Library. In her report, she advised that 32,000 Tigard Public
Library cards are currently issued; 200,000 people visit the Library every year;
500,000 items are borrowed annually. At times, 40 percent of the collection may be
checked out. Due to space constraints at this time, if one new item is added to the
collection, then one must be withdrawn, with the result that the collection cannot
grow.
The Library has 200 volunteers, which equal the equivalent of seven full time staff
members, or one-third of the Library staffing. Ms. Irwin referred to a drawing of
the old Library on Main Street as a comparison to the new Library. She also
,referred to plans prepared in 1991 for possible expansion of the Library building.
Library Board member Chris Lewis advised that the Library is a resource for many
things, including parenting information, student homework resources, and (soon) the
Internet. With the adoption of Measure 5 a few years ago, schools have cut back
their Library services, so the City Library is more valuable to students. He referred
to a significant increase of circulation because of the cutback in school resources.
He noted the Library often serves as a community center serving children, the
business community, parents, and senior citizens. He advised that the Library will
have to grow physically, offer more programs, increase technology, and add more
books.
Library Board member Larry Beck addressed the City Council. He noted the
Library serves as a clearinghouse for a variety of information medium. The Tigard
Public Library applied for a state grant to access the "Information Super Highway"
(Internet).
In response to a question from Councilor Scheckla, Library Director Davis advised
this would be a matching grant in the amount of $10,000. This effort is also
supported by local Tigard businesses. Ms. Davis advised the Tigard Public Library

t
is competing with other libraries in the state, but Tigard has a "pretty good chance"
of being awarded a grant.
Councilor Aunt questioned if children would be able to access items on the Internet
which may not be appropriate. Ms. Davis described where the equipment would be
located; in addition, a volunteer will be available to assist with Internet use. Also,
the Internet will have limitations on access points.
Library Board member Lon Hoklin described efforts by the Cooperative Library
Advisory Board (CLAB). CLAB was approached by the City of Beaverton in 1994
for funding to increase Beaverton library space. At the time studies were being
conducted on county-wide library space needs; however Beaverton's request
accelerated the analyses. As a result, CLAB advised WCCLS to proceed with a
proposal which would bring libraries up to minimum space requirements for their
projected population service in the year 2015.
Findings indicated that 300,000 square feet of Library space is needed County-wide;
building costs were estimated to be $100 a square foot. Presently, the County has
one-third of that total Library space. It was decided that a $30,000,000 capital levy
would be presented to the voters in 1997. By April, 1996, all jurisdictions must sign
off indicating their support of the capital levy.
Mr. Hoklin urged City Council to support the capital levy.
In response to a question from Council, Ms. Davis advised the new addition, as
shown on the 1991 drawings, would not bring the Library space up to the minimum
amount recommended by the county's studies.
Library Board member Angus McKay noted that with the rate of growth, it appears
that clever ways need to be found just to "stand still." He noted the extreme
importance of the Library and referred to Oregon Revised Statutes which outline
that libraries are to provide cultural information and educational resources. The
community needs meeting space and the ability to add new books without losing old
books.
In response to a question from Councilor Scheckla, Ms. Davis advised the
Recreation hound-Up programs are being offered at Metzger Community Park. The
use of the building will be re-evaluated by the Metzger Park Board and Library in
December.
There was discussion on the "Quiet Room" in the Library which needs air
conditioning. After brief discussion, Council stressed the importance of installing
the air conditioning unit as quickly as possible. Maintenance Services Director
Wegner advised he would proceed.

There was discussion on future growth needs for the City's facilities. All of the
libraries in the area must sign off on the recommendation before the County will go
forward with presenting a capital levy to the voters. This sign-off is to occur in
April, 1995. Iii the meantime, the City of Tigard is looking at growth issues for all
City buildings. Council consensus was that the Library would remain included in
the City's review of space issues.
Assistant to the Administrator Newton advised City Council that staff will present
information on space issues at an October meeting.
4. DISCUSSION: STANDARDS FOR SURFACE WATER OUALITY TREATMENT
FACILITIES
Mayor Nicoli introduced this topic. In May, Bonnie Goldsmith, Tigard resident,
met with the Mayor regarding her concerns about the new water quality treatment
ponds at 135th and Walnut Street. The Mayor agreed to bring these issues before
Council for discussion at a Workshop meeting.
City Engineer Wooley also apprised Council of the situation with regard to the'
surface water quality treatment facilities, including the background of the facilities
in general, with specific reference to those ponds at 135th and Walnut.
MS. Goldsmith outlined her concerns, including safety issues, collection of trash, and
the general unkempt appearance of the pond. Of concern to her was the need to
provide signs, grates over pipes, and landscaping around the ponds for safety and
to make the area look better. In addition, she noted that one of the ponds at 135th
and Walnut has not drained and appeared to contain stagnant water. She advised
that she believes that the ponds constitute a "attractive nuisance" and should be a
liability concern to the City.
Ms. Goldsmith referred to efforts by Code Enforcement Officer Wolf. Ms
Goldsmith advised that Officer Wolf issued a summons and forced the developer to
mow the area. Ms. Goldsmith said a nearby apartment complex was putting in a
fence which she believes is primarily due to the presence of the ponds.
City Engineer Wooley described some of the problems associated with the ponds
which are used to treat water run-off (especially for water from a rain after a long
dry period). The ponds to not appear to be as effective as the EQC/IDEQ had
L:
hoped; Mr. Wooley said he expects to see some changes in the requirements. There
are approximately 20 ponds that will become the responsibility of the City. In
addition, there are about 30 private ponds in the City.
`y Council discussion followed concerning the purpose of the ponds as well as reviewing
concerns about children's safety. Councilor Scheckla noted the need for parental
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 19, 1995 - PAGE 4,
supervision as well. There was discussion of requiring a different design, with the
ability to pipe water not needing treatment around the ponds, so the ponds would
not fill so deeply. Council also discussed costs on remedies to problems with the
ponds. Developers are required to maintain these ponds for a period of several
years; alteration of requirements may negate agreements already in plane.
Michael Anderson and Greg Berry of the Engineering Staff were present and
answered several technical questions with regard to the ponds.
Ed Wegner, Maintenance Services Director, affirmed he the City has a mower which
would mow the slopes of the retention ponds.
There was discussion on the number of ponds and bodies of water in parks and
other areas throughout the City (referring to children's safety). 'T'here was
discussion on the need to have the Park and Engineering staff review maintenance
on the retention ponds.
Mr. Kurt Goldsmith asked several questions with regard to design of the three pond
systems at 135th and Walnut. City Engineer Wooley advised that the one pond,
which has water in it, is not stagnant; however, it is very slow moving. Presently,
the City does not treat for mosquitoes in any area of the City.
At the end of discussion, it was determined that staff would review and make
recommendations with regard to low maintenance landscaping, signage, and a review
of conditions on developers.
Council meeting recessed at 8:27 p.m
Council meeting reconvened at 5:42 p.m.
5. 2040 PLANNING PROTECT UPDATE
Community Development Director Hendryx reviewed this agenda item. Mr.
Hendryx distributed information which included the following:
® Forty ways to implement the Metro 2040 growth concept and,
® Draft work plan schedule.
Mr. Hendryx advised that the 2040 growth concept would be before the Metro
Council this Fall. City of Tigard staff been reviewed the material when distributed
by Metro. Staff made several recommendations to Metro which were incorporated
in the 2040 Plan. In addition, the Regional Urban Growth Goals and Objectives,
(RUGGOS) will be presented to the Metro Council in November or December.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 19, 1995 - PAGE 5
MEN
Mr. Hendryx reviewed the key points of the recommendation by Executive Officer
Mike Burton of Metro, which would be to limit the additional growth of the Urban
Growth Boundary from 4,000 to 9,000 acres, some interim implementation .
suggestions, and how the 2040 will ultimately be implemented.
Mr. Hendryx advised that Metro was notified of the local governments' concerns
about imposed requirements without accompanying financing for implementation.
Mr. Hendryx reviewed several maps illustrating transportation zones and growth
projections for population and employment as contained in the 2040 plan. The flan
recommends substantial increases in residential homes, with the largest increases in
the Bull Mountain, Washington Square, and Bonita areas.
Mr. Hendryx advised he will attend a public Officials Caucus on Thursday,
September 21. Councilor Roldf expressed his desire to be kept informed and that
updates be presented to Council at regular intervals.
6. DISCUSSION: REIMBURSEMENT DISTRICT ORDINANCE
City Engineer Wooley introduced this topic to City Council. He advised that in
developing the ordinance amendment, one issue was causing concern. He explained
that Council had requested that the annual fee adjustment on reimbursement
districts be tied to some index (eg., federal discount rate or something similar). This
would mean that the reimbursement fees would need to be recalculated each year
for each district. He anticipated this would make the districts more difficult to
administer and increase the potential for calculation errors.
After Council discussion, Council consensus was that the ordinance amendment
should provide that the Finance Director will make a recommendation to the Budget
Committee during the budget cycle on an interest rate. The interest rate, adopted
by resolution of Council at the conclusion of this budget process, would be the
interest rate used for reimbursement districts established during the upcoming fiscal
year.
There was discussion with differing opinions noted on the length of reimbursement
district terms. Presently, reimbursement districts are formed for a period of fifteen
years.
Reimbursement districts can be formed by the City, by neighborhoods/individuals
or developers. A reimbursement district could be formed to finance items such as
speed bumps or utilities (i.e., sewer lines).
There was some discussion on whether reimbursement districts initiated by the City
could have different requirements than other reimbursement districts. Councilor
Hunt said legal advice on such a proposal would be necessary.

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Bill Monahan, City Administrator
FROM: Randy Wooley, City Engineev2 z/~ ~
DATE: September 8, 1995
SUBJECT: Surface Water Quality Treatment Facilities
At the September 19th study meeting, the Council will be asked to
consider concerns raised by Bonnie Goldsmith regarding the surface
water quality treatment ponds at 135th and Walnut. In considering
these issues, Council will need to be aware of existing general
requirements for surface water quality treatment facilities.
I have attempted to make this report brief. We will be prepared to
provide more details and answer questions at the September 19th
meeting.
Background
In 1989, the Environmental Quality Commission adopted regulations
setting rules for protection of surface water quality in the
Tualatin River basin. At the time, I testified before EQC in
opposition to portions of the proposed regulations, as did USA,
Washington County and others. We were concerned that the
envisioned treatment facilities would not be effective in improving
the water quality in the river, would create maintenance problems,
and would cause other problems not in proportion to the benefits.
However, the regulations were adopted by the EQC and we have been
complying with the regulations.
In the urban portion of Washington County, the county and the
:s - cities agreed that USA should take the lead in adopting appropriate
a standards to comply with the EQC regulations. The attached memo
from Greg Berry further describes the standards.
USA is also performing the studies to develop surface water master
plans for the various sub-basins that drain to the Tualatin River.
The study for the Fanno Creek basin is just beginning and will take
about a year to complete. Most of Tigard is within this study
area. The study will look at water quality issues and also water
quantity (flood prevention) issues. The study should eventually
result in an updated surface water master plan for the entire sub-
basin. Until a new master plan is adopted, the existing USA
regulations apply to all new development.

Citizen response
In general, there has been little citizen comment About the surface
water quality facilities that have been completed. Occasionally,
.citizens raise concerns or questions during the public hearings for
proposed new developments. However, after completion of the
facilities, we have generally received no citizen complaints.
The exception is the ponds at 135th and Walnut. Since completion,
several citizens have raised concerns about the 135th/Walnut ponds.
The concerns relate to'safety and appearance. These ponds are part
of the adjoining Castle Hill subdivision.
135th/Walnut
The ponds at 135th/Walnut are different from others in several
ways. First, they are much more visible than most other
facilities, being located at a busy intersection. Most other
facilities are located within the development that they serve.
Second, the 135th/Walnut ponds, are deeper than others. Finally,
although the ponds were constructed within the last year, their
design was initially approved in 1993 as part of the Castle Hill
subdivision phased development. Since the time that this design
was approved, both USA and the City have gained experience in the
design of water quality treatment facilities. Revised design
standards are now being used and further revisions are proposed by
USA.
The 135th/Walnut ponds are designed to detain runoff from small
storms to allow phosphorus and other pollutants to settle out or be
absorbed by plants. During the dry summer months, the ponds go
dry. During the wet spring months, the larger pond west of 135th
typically holds 3-4 feet of water. The smaller pond holds less
water and goes dry sooner. Although the-ponds are rather deep,
they are not intended to fill. The height of the slopes was
dictated primarily by the grades of the adjoining streets.
The ponds -met design requirements, including all safety
requirements known to us. Planting of the area with grasses is
required to prevent erosion; also, the plants help to absorb
phosphorus and other minerals. Additional landscaping is not
required by existing regulations.
The pond area has been dedicated to the City. For the first three
years, the developer is required to maintain the ponds and to make
any revisions required to allow the required maintenance. After
the three-year period, the City will be responsible for
maintenance.
Along the north side of the large pond, the owners of the adjoining
apartment development are constructing a fence to separate the play
areas of the apartment complex from the pond. They also intend to
Surface Water Quality TreatTnent Memo Page 2
x
Blom" l S
.
tip"
provide additional landscaping. They are providing the fencing and
landscaping at their own cost.
Safety issues
The ponds do not violate safety standards known to us. Because the
sides are sloped (rather than vertical), the fencing requirements
of swimming pools do not apply.
Throughout the City, we have streams, ponds and wetlands without
fencing. Many of our bike and pedestrian paths are located next to
creeks and ponds. Throughout the City, we have culverts without
grate covers. These facilities exist in parks, along public
streets, and in many new subdivisions. Environmental regulations
encourage the addition of new ponds and wetlands.
Should water bodies be fenced as a matter of safety and for
protection from liability? or are there other safety measures that
should be implemented? If fencing is added, how will we provide
for public access and maintenance?
I am not aware of safety problems in the past with the, various
water bodies in the City. Therefore, I do not recommend any change
in policy. However, Council may wish to review this issue.
USA is in the process of adopting revised design standards that
will require flatter side slopes on new water quality facilities.
While the proposed change is prompted to facilitate maintenance, it
will also further enhance safety on new facilities.
Appearance
The developer is required to plant and maintain a dense grass cover
on the site. Additional work is required to achieve this goal. We
are pursuing this goal under the existing development bonds. No
other landscaping is required of the developer.
At one time we thought that the developer would be planting street
trees. However, they decided not to proceed with the trees due to
the initial maintenance cost. They are not required to plant
trees.
There are some areas at the edge of the site that could be
landscaped. However, any landscape plan must be carefully drawn to
assure that landscaping does not impair access for maintenance or
add debris that will impede the intended water quality treatment
process.
The City could add landscaping requirements on future
installations. However, the 135th/Walnut site has an existing
design approval and there is no provision to change the conditions b
'r of approval.

f rx'
If landscaping is added to these sites, it will mean some
additional expense for maintenance.
Signaq•e
r"
.Ms. Goldsmith has suggested that signs should be placed to explain
the purpose of the pin-3s.. This seems like a good idea to us.
Perhaps signs should be placed on all publicly-maintained treatment
facilities. Signage might help to answer citizen questions and
discourage littering.
We understand that USA has tried various signing concepts at its
facilities with mixed results. We have requested additional
information from USA and hope to be able to make some signing
recommendations to Council at .the September 19th meeting.
Conclusion
The revised USA standards will be applied to all future
installations. In addition, staff will give additional attention
to potential landscaping and screening needs during the preliminary
subdivision review. If needed, such requirements can be added as r
part of the routine conditions of approval. I believe that these
changes are adequate for future facilities. I do not recommend any
additional requirements at this time.
At the 135th/Walnut site, we will continue to require the developer
to perform necessary maintenance, including maintenance of grassed
' areas. During the three-year developer maintenance period, I
erg recommend that the City not make any modifications to the site. I
am concerned that modifications could cancel the developer's
maintenance obligation and add maintenance costs for the City.
After the three-year period ends in 1998, we can again consider
whether any modifications (including landscaping) are appropriate.
I do recommend that we consider a signing program. Based on USA's
experience, we need to carefully design the signing to assure that
it is attractive and effective.

MEMORANDUM
A CITY OF TIGARD
TO: Randy Wooley June 26, 1995
FROM: Greg Berry
SUBJECT: Background Information for Water Quality Facilities
As the result of a 1986 federal law suit, on December 1, 1989, the
Environmental Quality Commission adopted rules requiring new
s. development in the Tualatin Basin to provide erosion control and
permanent storm water quality control facilities. The aim of these
rules was to improve water quality of the Tualatin River by
preventing pollutants from new developments from reaching the
river.
On July 1, 1990, Unified Sewerage Agency became the agency
4 responsible for implementing and insuring compliance with these
rules. USA developed a plan that, in addition to requiring
permanent storm water quality control facilities for new
developments, also included:
_ • erosion control not restricted to new development
• undisturbed strips of land between streams and new development
• development of a water shed plan for the Fanno Creek Basin
• public involvement (e.g.; phosphorus free detergents, reducing
T'- lawn fertilizing, and River Rangers).
establishment of a fee for cleaning and maintaining the public
storm drainage system.
To implement this plan, USA adopted Resolution and Order 91-47 Y
which became effective July 1, 1991. Chapter Seven of these rules
set out specific standards for permanent on-site water quality
facilities. USA has also adopted and referenced other additional
;y technical standards to aid in the design of facilities that meet
q' the requirements of the rules.
r
Most commonly, the required treatment is achieved by an "extended
dry detention pond." This is a pond of sufficient size to store ;LL the mean summertime storm. Following a storm, the water is slowly
released from the pond so that pollutants will settle to the bottom
of the pond instead of flowing towards the Tualatin River. Other
common facilities include bio-filtration swales which achieve
treatment by requiring the runoff to'flow through a long narrow
ditch. Facilities constructed for subdivisions are maintained by
the City, as shown on the attached map, while facilities.
constructed for projects that are not subdivision are maintained by
the landowner.
This chapter also sets out the criteria for permitting the
collection of systems development charge in-lieu of constructing an
on-site facility. Generally, this rule permits payment of the fee
in-lieu of construction of the facility only when site conditions,
topography, and site size make it impractical or ineffective to
~.M construct an on-site facility or would preclude effective
development of the site.

Dear Mayor Nicoli: 00 Q z' 1-~ t l j rt t bYl t fl (Av- i ~ t~ Q d m i n r.S ~ r c~
This letter documents our conversations concerning the phosphorous run-off ponds in our neighborhood. There
are three ponds bordering Walnut Avenue near the intersection of 135th Ave that the United Sewerage Agency
required to protect the Tualitin River. While these ponds are necessary to protect our water quality, something
` needs to be done to address the safety of our children. The ponds on Walnut are surrounded by residential housing
r and have no landscaping around them.,
I first contacted the City of Tigard on February 13, 1995 after I saw children sledding into the ponds. At that time,
I was told landscaping around the ponds would be done this Spring. So I waited and then contacted Mike
rt Anderson of the City of Tigard Engineering Department. We have since found out that there are no code
s; requirements regarding these ponds which are throughout the City of Tigard. (Odd that a swimming pool in one's
w backyard requires by code more protection than these large ponds.) Thus this safety issue concerns us all. The
first danger present is that there are no grates preventing children from being swept from one pond to the other.
There is also no landscaping to deter children from playing in them, and thirdly since they are such an eyesore,
people have begun littering garbage into them, further polluting the water and defeating the ponds' purpose.
1 propose you use funds from the Capital Improvement Program to upgrade the quality and safety of these ponds.
First, put grates over the openings of the drain pipes so no one can be swept from pond to pond. Secondly,
landscaping them with plants will make them more attractive and detract from playing around them. If we make
them look pleasant and like a part of the environment, people and children will respect them, and not litter them.
This is a very important issue since the City of Tigard is responsible for the maintaining this land, and Safety
issues rest solely with the City of Tigard. IF anyone does get hurt, the City of Tigard will be liable, and this will
ultimately cost much more than the landscaping and safety improvements.
Summer break for school children is only 5 112 weeks away, so the City of Tigard needs to act now, before the
children have a lot of free time to spend at these ponds.
Sincerely,
Bonnie F. Goldsmith

40 Nays to Implement the Metro 2040 Growth Concept
We could consider the following measures consistent with our primary goal of maintaining our
overall quality of life- including conservation of natural areas, maintaining a healthy economy and
protection of water and air quality:
REZONING
Infill
1. Revise maximum densities in critical areas to allow infill at 2040 densities - such as the city
center, regional centers, town centers, transit station communities, corridors, mainstreets,
employment centers.
2. Establish minimum density standards in regional centers, town centers, corridors, mainstreets,
transit station communities, employment centers.
3. Amend existing zoning to allow mixed use development and providing the opportunity for a
mix of residential, retail and office uses in regional centers, town centers, corridors, mainstreets,
transit station communities, employment centers.
4. Alter existing commercial district zoning in corridors to•allow row house densities. (Example:
Perhaps a maximum of 15-18 units/net acre; a minimum of 11 units/net acre and no minimum lot
size).
5. Allow attached accessory units ("add-a rental') in single family zones (Example: An add-a-
rental unit would be allowed to le added to an existing single family home or built as part of a
new single family house provided the structure must continue to look like a single family home.
Perhaps a maximum of 1 per block would be allowed to insure that neighborhood character is not
significantly changed.)
6. Identify key parcels for infill/redevelopment in centers, mainstreets and develop a strategy for
redevelopment.
7. Analyze and prepare land assembly proposals. Identify partially developed land with a vacant
component that can reach higher land use efficiencies if assembled with other land.

Ste.
e
Vacant land
8. Revise maximum densities to allow development at 2040 densities. Establish minimum
densities.
REGULATORY REFORMS
9. Find ways to reduce the time needed for project review and streamline the review process.
(Example: have third parties audit your process and make suggestions)
10. Coordinate with other communities to increase consistency between zoning terms, provisions
and process. (Example: have zoning officials from one community attend actual zoning meeting's.
of another community)
11. Organize regulations so that conflicts between regulations of other levels of government are
reduced or eliminated.
12. Identify optional zoning regulations for centers, corridors, mainstreets, station areas and
employment areas which encourage 2040 Growth Concept development and relax traditional
standards (setbacks or use restrictions, etc.)
REDUCING UNDERBUILD
Parking Standards
13. Rethink, revise and reduce minimum parking standards in centers, station areas and
mainstreets. Establish minimum standards that reflect average demand, rather than peak demand.
Allow some areas to have no minimum parking requirement, especially areas with shared parking
resources. Reduce off street parking requirements in residential areas to average demand.
14. Establish maximum parking standards.
15. Allow and encourage shared parking facilities.
16. Encourage on-street parking and allow it to be counted towards the minimum parking
requirement.
Density Transfer
17. Change zoning so that average density standards are used for all vacant residentially zoned
lands. (Example: the zoning has no. minimum lot size, rather has average number of units per
acre. This will allow development to avoid wetlands, etc. while still holding to the stated density.)
40 Ways to Implement the Metro 2040 Growth Concept 2
Yti
y.
I'
to
18. S°t average density standards a little higher than actual goal to ensure that underbuild is
accounted for. (Example: Rezone vacant residential lands 20 percent higher than needed to
achieve the w. get densities slue to any reductions that may occur on any one particular parcel.)
19. Allow additional density beyond that generally allowed in the zoning district in exchange for
amenities or features provided by the developer over and above those required.
20. Allow developers to offset development of isolated wetlands when other wetlands or riparian
areas can be acquired or created as pant of a larger connected watershed system.
21. Permit the transfer of density to offsite locations for lands located in floodplains, wetlands,
steep slopes or other similar site limiting natural conditions and already zoned for urban uses.
2040 DESIGN
22. Reduce street widths for residential streets and some arterials serving mainstreets, town
centers and regional centers.
23. Develop master street plans that provide many connections. (Example: look at ways to
establish 8-10 through streets per mile)
24. Allow for oversize corner lots to occasionally be permitted for duplexes, consistent with the
design of other homes in the neighborhood.
25. Link neighborhoods and downtowns; create a pedestrian, bicycle and transit friendly system
that will provide a viable alternative to single occupancy vehicle transportation and reduce the
need for parking spaces.
26. Keep neighborhoods open to bike and pedestrian connections where streets do not go
through.
27. Identify ways to encourage the siting large retail centers in centers, station areas, main
streets and corridors.
28. Change zoning to encourage-rhe siting new office in centers, station areas, main streets and
corridors. 6~.

leaders in the region advising Mike Burton, Metro Executive Officer)
OTHER
32. Review level-of-service policies concerning congestion on streets within centers and
mainstreets. Consider lower levels of service as acceptable where high levels of transit and good
pedestrian and bicycle networks are established.
33. Consider regional time-bf-day road pricing, air/water and noise emission fees while
commensurately reducing other taxes (such as transit payroll tax, portion of state gas tax,
transportation related property tastes, etc.)
34. Identify barriers to expansion of private transit service and consider reducing or revoking
them.
33. Consider shifting transit subsidies from supplier-based capital grants to user-based vounhers.
36. Determine the true-cost user fees for public services and consider transition to this method of
financing.
37. Identify all vacant and redevelopable lands in the community and make this data readily
available to the development community. Track any tax exempt properties withheld from the

40 Ways to Implement the Metro 2040 growth Concept
We could consider the following measures consistent with our primary goal of maintaining our
overall quality of life- including conservation of natural areas, maintaining a healthy economy and
protection of water and air quality:
REZONING
Infill
1. Revise maximum densities in critical areas to allow infill at 2040 densities - such as the city
center, regional centers, town centers, transit station communities, corridors, mainstreets,
employment centers.
2. Establish minimum density standards in regional centers, town centers, corridors, mainstreets,
transit station communities, employment centers.
3. Amend existing zoning to allow mixed use development and providing the opportunity for a
mix of residential, retail and office uses in regional centers, town centers, corridors, mainstreets,
transit station communities, employment centers.
4. Alter existing commercial district zoning in corridors to allow row house densities. (Example:
Perhaps a maximum of 15-18 units/net acre. 'a minimum of 11 units/net acre and no minimum lot
size).
5. Allow attached accessory units ("add-a rental') in single family zones (Example: An add-a-
rental unit would be allowed to lie added to an existing single family home or built as part of a
new single family house provided i7he structure must continue to look like a single family home.
Perhaps a maximum of 1 per block would be allowed to insure that neighborhood character is not
significantly changed.)
6. Identify key parcels for infill/redevelopment in centers, mainstreets and develop a strategy for
redevelopment. '
7. Analyze and prepare land assembly proposals. Identify partially developed land with a 'vacant
component that can reach higher land use efficiencies if assembled with other land.

8. Revise maximum densities to allow development at 2040 densities. Establish minimum
densities.
REGULATORY REFORMS ~
9. Find ways to reduce the time needed for project review and streamline the review process.
(Example: have third parties audit your process and make suggestions)
10. Coordinate with other communities to increase consistency between zoning terms, provisions
and process. (Example: have zoning officials from one community attend actual zon!.ng meetings.
of another community)
11. Organize regulations so that conflicts between regulations of other levels of government are
reduced or eliminated.
12. Identify optional zoning regulations for centers, corridors, mainstreets, station areas and
employment areas which encourage 2040 Growth Concept development and relax traditional
standards (setbacks or use restrictions, etc.)
REDUCING UNDERBUELD
Parking Standards
13. Rethink, revise and reduce minimum parking standards in centers, station areas and
mainstreets. Establish minimum standards that reflect average demand, rather than peak demand.
Allow some areas to have no minimum parking requirement, especially areas with shared parking
resources. Reduce off street park=ing requirements in residential areas to average demand.
14. Establish maximum parking standards.
15. Allow and encourage shared parking facilities.
16. Encourage on-street parking and allow it to be counted towards the minimum parking
requirement.
Density Transfer
17. Change zoning so that average density standards are used for all vacant residentially zoned
lands. (Example: the zoning has no minimum lot size, rather has average number of units per
acre. This will allow development to avoid wetlands, etc. while still holding to the stated density.)

A
18. Set average density standards a little higher than actual goal to ensure that underbuild is
accounted for. (Example: Rezone vacant residential lands 20 percent higher than needed to
achieve the target densities due to any reductions that may occur on any one particular parcel.)
19. Allow additional density beyond that generally allowed in the zoning district in exchange for
amenities or features provided by the developer over and above those required.
20. Allow developers to offset development of isolated wetlands when other wetlands or riparian
areas can be acquired or created as part of a larger connected watershed system.
21. Permit the transfer of density to offsite locations for lands located in floodplains, wetlands,
steep slopes or other similar site limiting natural conditions and already zoned for urban uses.
2040 DESIGN
22. Reduce street widths for residential streets and some arterials serving mainstreets, town
centers and regional centers.
23. Develop master street plans that provide many connections. (Example: look at ways to
establish 8-10 through streets per mile)
24. Allow for oversize corner lots to occasionally be permitted for duplexes, consistent with the
design of other homes in the neighborhood.
25. Link neighborhoods and downtowns; create a pedestrian, bicycle and transit friendly system
that will provide a viable alternative to single occupancy vehicle transportation and reduce the
need for parking spaces.
26. Keep neighborhoods open to bike and pedestrian connections where streets do not go
through.
27. Identify ways to encourage the siting large retail centers in centers, station areas, main
streets and corridors.
28. Change zoning to encourage-the siting new office in centers, station areas, main streets and
corridors. ;
INCENTIVES
29. Establish criteria for fee or system development charge reductions for development at planned:
densities in 2040 centers, mainstreets and station areas.

30. Establish shared parking facilities (lots or structures) in centers, mainstreets and corridors.
31. Establish a revolving fund for low interest loans for infrastructure or other development
related costs.
PRIVATE SECTOR ACTIONS
(these will be developed by the Metro 2040 Means Business Committee, a committee of business
leaders in the region advising Mike Burton, Metro Executive Officer)
OTE(ER
32. Review level-of-service policies concerning congestion on streets within centers and
mainstreets. Consider lower levels of service as acceptable where high levels of transit and good
pedestrian and bicycle networks are established.
33. Consider regional time-bf-day road pricing, air/water and noise emission fees while
commensurately reducing other taxes (such as transit payroll tax, portion of state gas tax,
transportation related property taxes, etc.)
34. Identify barriers to expansion of private transit service and consider reducing or revoking
them.
35. Consider shifting transit subsidies from supplier-based capital grants to user-based vouchers.
36. Determine the true-cost user fees for public services and consider transition to this method of
financing.
37. Identify all vacant and redevelopable lands in the community and make this data readily
available to the development community. Track any tax exempt properties withheld from the
vacant or redevelopable land supply, add those back in when local knowledge allows.
38. Establish local methods to coordinate public involvement on 2040 implementation.
39. Integrate 2040 messages into~city, county, special district and community newsletters.
std. Share your best ideas with yotir colleagues in the region'- encourage them to try it.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Bill Monahan,, City Administrator
FROM: Randy Wooley, City Engineers/ `e
vc
DATE: September 7, 1995
SUBJECT: Reimbursement District Ordinance
I understand that Council was told recently that I was unclear on
their earlier direction for revisions to the reimbursement
district. Actually, that is not the problem. Council direction
was clear. It°s just that drafting the new ordinance has turned
out to be a more time-consuming task than I expected, and in recent
weeks there has seemed to always be a more urgent task before us.
I now hope that a new ordinance can be drafted for Council review
in the next few weeks.
There is one issue that is causing some concern. The Council
requested that the annual fee adjustment on reimbursement districts
be tied to some index (e.g., Federal discount rate or something
similar). This would mean that the reimbursement fees would need
to be recalculated each year for each district. I anticipate that
this will make the districts more difficult to administer and
increase.the potential for calculation errors.
If there is adequate time at the September 19th meeting, I would
like to discuss further with Council whether the annual fee
adjustment should simply be eliminated.
