City Council Minutes - 09/24/2002 Agenda Item No. r Meeting of 1(� . COUNCIL MINUTES TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING September 24, 2002 Mayor Griffith called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Council Present: Mayor Griffith; Councilors Moore, Dirksen, and Scheckla • STUDY SESSION ➢ DISCUSS UPDATE ON METRO'S URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY (UGB) EXPANSION PROCESS Community Development Director Hendryx presented this agenda item. Four charts were reviewed with the City Council (charts are on file in the City Recorder's office). The charts were titled as follows: • Metro UGB Expansion: Regional Issues • Metro UGB Expansion: Commercial Issues • Metro UGB Expansion: Tigard's Borders (Two charts for this subject.) Mr. Hendryx advised that questions for Tigard to consider are as follows: • Does Tigard support the overall concern about the shortage of "ready-to-go" industrial areas as part of this year's UGB expansion? • Does the City want another mixed-use area besides the Regional Center? • Should these industrial areas along 217 be included in the conversion discussion? • Should Tigard initiate/lead the discussion on the relationship between the centers and mixed-use areas? • Should the City accept the varying densities between Bull Mountain and expansion areas or should it propose a flexible alternative? • How should the City tackle the open space/park land shortage? • Should the City participate in developing regional policy for neighborhood commercial areas? Mr. Hendryx noted the only industrial area identified for the "west side" is five acres in Hillsboro. The majority of industrial area proposed in the UGB expansion is on the "east side" (Damascus 8T Happy Valley). The City of Portland is opposed to the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) allowing a subregional analysis to review distribution of industrial-designated land. Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes - September 24, 2002 Page 1 Council Dirksen advised he is opposed to new industrial land sited around the periphery of the UGB and said that, in general, he believes that there is a need to hold the line on the UGB. Peripheral expansion leads to infrastructure (e.g., transportation/traffic) problems. He said that the current industrial land is not being fully utilized. With regard to the proposal to change some industrial land to mixed use, Councilor Dirksen noted his concern that this would only create a need to find new industrial land elsewhere. After the staff presentation, it was determined that this item needs to be rescheduled for review and discussion by the City Council. ➢ ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS City Recorder Wheatley noted the upcoming League of Oregon Cities (LOC) and National League of Cities (NLC) conferences. The LOC conference will be held November 8-10 in Portland. NLC conference will be held December 3-7 in Salt Lake City.

UPDATE ON THE WASHINGTON COUNTY EVENT COMPLEX MEASURE Washington County Fair Director Don Hillman presented details on the capital improvement proposal that the Washington County Commissioners have placed on the November 2002 ballot. The measure would authorize $40 million in general obligation bonds at a proposed tax rate of $.095 per $1,000 assessed value. Funds would be used to build a new main exposition hall, an exposition annex, and an arena/amphitheater. Mr. Hillman said that if the measure is approved, they hope to have the new facility open by summer 2004.
