ADJOURNMENT - 9:30 p.m. - estimated time SUPPLEMENTAL PACKET FOR M4 y 1 s , 7 / (DATE OF MEETING) 2013 TRANSPORTATION POLICY COMMITTEE POLICY STATEMENT Agenda / {Pm l • D Consistent with the League's Oregon Municipal Policy document and in developing legislative policy options for the 2013 session of the Oregon Legislature, the Transportation Policy Committee asserts the following fundamental principles: • Honor the requirement contained in the Constitution of the State of Oregon dedicating all funds accruing to the State Highway Fund to street, road and highway projects. • Emphasize the need to increase funding for maintenance and preservation projects. • Seek additional funding in support of the Small City Allotment Program. • Maximize transit funding, especially by removing restrictions on the ability of transit districts to raise their own funds. • As new access management standards are enacted, ensure that the process and outcomes recognize the rights of cities to exercise local control on roads and streets under their jurisdiction. 2013 TRANSPORTATION POLICY COMMITTEE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES Priority A. Defeat legislation that would extend or make permanent the moratorium on raising existing or levying new local gas taxes and /or any legislation that proposes to restrict or preempt cities' ability to charge any transportation - related fee or tax. Description HB 2001, passed by the 2009 Legislature increasing the state gas tax for the first time since 1993, also established a four -year moratorium on the enactment of new or increased gas taxes by cities (cities already levying a gas tax were grandfathered). The moratorium expires January 2, 2014. Following expiration of the moratorium the bill also requires cities to refer any local gas tax - related measure to the voters. It is reasonable to assume, indeed likely, that advocates opposing a city's right to levy a local gas tax will be active in the 2013 session to extend or make permanent the restriction on cities' ability to generate revenue in this manner. In a study first published in 2007 and updated in 2011, the League estimates that, in the aggregate, city street budgets fall approximately $190 million short of their annual need. To address the shortfall created by inadequate revenues coming from state and local gas taxes cities also may implement local transportation utility fees (TUFs) — fees assessed on utility bills of water /sewer customers and dedicated to city transportation infrastructure projects. Transportation -based systems development charges (SDCs) can also be established to fund the construction of new roads and to accommodate growth on existing road infrastructure. Finally, local improvement districts (LIDS) and urban renewal districts generate revenues through tax increment financing that can contribute to the transportation component of a local revitalization plan. These tools must be maintained. Priority B. Continue to support the development of greenhouse gas emission toolkits and scenario planning models and standards for Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) cities as long as they are funded with new revenue and do not expose cities to additional litigation. Description The 2009 Jobs and Transportation Act (HB 2001) contains language requiring the Portland MPO (Metro) to undertake land use modeling and planning processes to mitigate climate change caused by the transportation sector. In the same bill, the Lane County MPO is required to undertake modeling only. Then, in 2010, the Legislature enacted SB 1059 instructing the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to develop guidelines to assist five of the state's six MPOs (Portland is omitted by virtue of inclusion in HB 2001). These guidelines specifically include: a toolkit to help local government planners achieve emissions reductions; consideration of steps that can be taken generally and through regional transportation planning to reduce emissions; rulemaking by DLCD and ODOT to identify reduction targets for each MPO; and reporting by the agencies to the Legislature on financing issues and scenario planning development progressing towards a statewide program. So far, it is understood by DLCD and ODOT that there must not be any negative fiscal impact on cities as a result of these program requirements. It is the intent of the League, as the program matures and is applied more broadly, that no unfunded mandates occur. It is also important to the League, given the largely voluntary nature of the program to date, that cities be protected from any litigation that might arise should they decide not to adopt one or more of the elements contained in the program. Priority C. While supporting the creation of a dedicated, non - roadway transportation fund, oppose any attempt to fund it from existing revenue streams — especially transfers from local governments to the state. Description In late 2011 and early 2012 a Non - Roadway Funding Work Group was appointed to look at ways to establish a dedicated fund in support of rail, port, aviation and bike /ped facilities and programs in Oregon. Dozens of ideas were identified and scored. While the final recommendations remain forthcoming, several concepts involved funding transfers between government entities and previously established programs. One of these, for example, contemplates the sequestration of property tax revenues derived from rail properties for channeling into the non - roadway fund, with local governments being "made whole" by a yet -to -be identified (or enacted) telecommunications tax. While the League generally supports adequate funding for the entire transportation system, it will not do so at the expense of its own resources, particularly strategies involving funding transfers without nexus and subject to political outcomes over which it has little or no control. Priority D. Support legislation to supplement and perhaps eventually replace the gas tax as the principle road user fee funding the state's road and highway system, ensuring: • All users of the roadway system, regardless of the type of vehicle they operate, pay their fair share. • City authority to exercise local control over the types and amounts of fees /taxes they levy. • Distribution of all revenues derived from a new road user fee system continues to use the 50 - 30 - 20 (state, county, city) formula that is currently in place. Description Technology (more fuel- efficient vehicles, hybrids and electric cars) and price elasticity (high price of gas due to general economic conditions and international developments) have resulted in a decline in revenues derived from the state gas tax. In fact, it is likely that any road user fee based upon the sale of motor fuels will one day be obsolete. To source a replacement user fee, the Road User Fee Task Force (RUFTF) was appointed. In 2011 they introduced a bill to collect a fee from electric vehicles based on vehicle miles traveled (VMT) but it did not pass. Since then the RUFTF has been meeting to consider several options including: a pilot project to experiment with VMT technology options and the introduction of new "in lieu of" gas tax legislative alternatives. AIS -912 2 Workshop Meeting Meeting Date: 05/15/2012 Length (in minutes): 10 Minutes Agenda Title: Local Contract Review Board: Award Pavement Management Program - Asphaltic Concrete Overlay Project Contract Submitted By: Cathy Wheatley, Administrative Services Item Type: Motion Requested Meeting Type: Local Contract Review Board Information ISSUE Shall the Local Contract Review Board award a contract for the city's Pavement Management Program - Asphaltic Concrete Overlay project to Baker Rock Resources? STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Staff recommends the Local Contract Review Board award the contract for the city's Pavement Management Program - Asphaltic Concrete Overlay project to Baker Rock Resources and authorize the city manager to take all necessary steps to execute the contract. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The yearly Pavement Management Program (PMP) protects the city's investment in street infrastructure. The program typically includes a combination of minor maintenance projects (slurry seal applications) and major maintenance projects (pavement overlays). In a payment overlay project, the pavement on a street has deteriorated due to traffic usage and weather, and is at the point where pavement repairs and overlays are necessary to avoid further deterioration and return the street to a good condition. For fiscal year 2012 -2013, the city has identified the following streets, or sections of these streets, in need of this level of repair: • McDonald Street • Durham Road • Tiedeman Avenue • 121st Avenue • North Dakota Street • Hunziker Street • Cascade Avenue • Sattler Street • Oak Street • 95th Avenue An invitation to bid was issued on April 24, 2012 and advertised in both the Daily Journal of Commerce and The Tigard Times that same week. The invitation to bid contained a bid schedule that broke the work into three packages: one base package and two adds. The Base package contains McDonald Street, Durham Road, Tiedeman Avenue, 121st Avenue, North Dakota Street, Hunziker Street, and Cascade Avenue. Each street thereafter was considered an add package and would be added to the project if the submitted bids and available appropriations were in alignment. The invitation to bid structure allowed the city to award the project to the lowest responsible bidder offering the most available streets to be overlayed, within the available appropriations in the adopted budget. The bids recevied on the May 8, 2012 due date were as follows: Bidder's Name - Schedule A Total - Schedule A + B Total - Schedule A + B + C Total Baker Rock Resources - $816,795 - $998,538 - $1,063,889 Brix Paving Northwest - $821,760 - $1,003,525 - $1,061,179 Knife River - $887,230 - $1,102,273 - $1,170,450 Eagle Elsner - $981,080 - $1,209,841 - $1,276,657 S -2 Contractors - $948,659 - $1,166,020 - $1,227,465 Given the received bids and with approximately $840,000 of remaining Pavement Management Program appropriation for the Asphaltic Concrete Overlay work the city will only be able to fund the work contained under the base bid (Schedule A) during the upcoming fiscal year. The streets falling under Schedules B and C will be moved to future project years as appropriations allow. The lowest responsible bidder for the work under Schedule A is Baker Rock Resources at $816,795 and is staffs recommendation is that the Local Contract Review Board award the work to Baker Rock Resources. OTHER ALTERNATIVES The Local Contract Review Board could choose not to award the contract. COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS N/A DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION This is a yearly contract that is presented to the Local Contract Review Board for their approval. The Board awarded the FY 2011 -2012 contract to S -2 Contractors, Inc. at their June 28, 2011 meeting. Fiscal Impact Cost: $816,795 Budgeted (yes or no): Yes Where budgeted ?: Street Maintenance Fund Additional Fiscal Notes: The overall project has $1,300,000 in construction costs for the three components of the overall project: Crack Sealing, Slurry Seal, and Pavement Overlay. The Crack Seal contract is estimated at $90,000 and the Slurry Seal contract is $370,882 leaving just less than $840,000 for the Asphaltic Contrete Overlay work. At a bid of $816,795 this project would be under the remaining appropriations for the Pavement Management Program in FY 2012 -2013. This project is for Fiscal Year 2012 -2013, all amounts are contingent upon budget approval by the Budget Committee and City Council. No construction shall begin until the appropriations are granted. AIS -693 3 • Workshop Meeting Meeting Date: 05/15/2012 Length (in minutes): 60 Minutes Agenda Title: High Capacity Transit Land Use Plan Presentation - Joint Session with Planning Commission Prepared For: Judith Gray Submitted By: Judith Gray, Community Development Item Type: Joint Meeting -Board or Other Juris. Meeting Type: Council Workshop Mtg. Information ISSUE Consultant presentation to a joint meeting of City Council and the Planning Commission on the Tigard High Capacity Transit Land Use Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Receive project update from staff and consultant and provide input. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The joint work session is an opportunity for City Council and the Planning Commission to hear a presentation on the High Capacity Transit (HCT) Land Use Plan. The project consultant and staff will use feedback from this joint work session to prepare the final report of the HCT Land Use Plan. Staff will return to council at a later date (expected in July or August) to ask them to accept, by resolution, the final report in order to acknowledge the efforts and final recommendations of the Citizens Advisory Committee and fulfill the City of Tigard obligations under the Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) contract that funded the project. After the final report is accepted, council will be asked to direct staff and the Planning Commission to develop measures to implement specific station community concepts. Such measures could include new land use designations, development code changes, public facility and capital improvement plans and infrastructure funding measures. The implementation measures based on the HCT Land Use Plan will require the council's legislative action. The City Council packet includes the following attachments: • A brief cover memorandum to support City Council and Planning Commission members in their review; • A summary of the planning process to date, including key themes heard community input and a summary of public involvement activities; • A summary of the next steps toward finalizing the HCT Land Use Plan and beginning implementing actions; and • The draft HCT Land Use Plan report. OTHER ALTERNATIVES n/a COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS Goal 1.b.ii. Contribute to the Southwest Corridor Plan by adopting Tigard's land use policies and designations and identifying priorities for high - capacity transit (HCT) station location alternatives by mid - 2012. Goal 1.b.ii.1. Develop the economic development opportunities, development plan, city policies and regulations needed to position the Tigard Triangle as an HCT station location. DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Previous project updates: January 18, 2011 April 26, 2011 July 19, 2011 November 18, 2011. Attachments Cover Memo Report - Volume 1 Public Involvement Summary Next Steps Summary City of Tigard TIGARD Memorandum To: Mayor Dirksen and Members of the City Council; President Walsh and Members of the Planning Commission From: Judith Gray, Senior Transportation Planner; Marissa Daniels, Associate Planner; Ron Bunch, Community Development Director Re: Presentation of High Capacity Transit Land Use Plan report Date: May 1, 2012 At the May 15, 2012 City Council and Planning Commission joint work session, city staff and the consultant for the High Capacity Transit (HCT) Land -Use Plan will present the report's recommendations regarding potential future station communities. The full report consists of three volumes comprising several hundred pages. Volume 1 is the shortest of the three volumes and provides the substance of the project recommendations. City Council and the Planning Commission are requested to focus their attention and input on this document (Attachment 2). Volumes 2 and 3 both contain background materials that were used to prepare the recommendations. They do not provide policy guidance. Because of their size (approximately 400 pages), and the background nature of their content, individual copies are not provided. However, staff will have copies available at the joint work session which can be accessed via the project web site (http: / /www.tigard- or.gov /sw corridor /planning.asp). Staff would be pleased to supply hard copies and /or CDs to commissioners and councilors who desire them. How We Got Here The HCT Land -Use Plan is the result of a year -long process involving hundreds of hours of work, coordination and communication by consultants, local and agency staff, advisory committees and Tigard citizens. The amount of technical work was significant, but a significant effort was also made to engage Tigard's citizens. This is because the HCT Land -Use Plan is specifically meant to serve Tigard and to reflect citizens' values regarding what kind of city they want to live and do business in. Special effort was made to work with stakeholders and translate community values and aspirations into Station Community Concepts. A summary of public involvement activities and community values are provided as Attachment 3. The public input addressed these broad questions: • Where does the community feel that future growth can be accommodated? • What neighborhood characteristics are right for each location? • What kinds of improvements are needed to make each area successful? During the planning process, many concept level decisions were made as to how station communities might function. These included elements such as location of specific street connections, park or open space amenities and other neighborhood design elements. While many of 1 these decisions were evaluated for feasibility, they are intended to remain highly conceptual, and their enactment is based on the future implementation actions, future funding and market realities, and actual development proposals. Request of Council and Planning Commission This agenda item is scheduled for 60 minutes, of which approximately 35 minutes is provided for questions and discussion. In order to assist staff in organizing council and commission input to finalize the report, it is requested that council and commission members consider the following questions: 1. Do the proposed recommendations recognize and implement the expressed community values? 2. Is the City Council and Planning Commission comfortable accepting the plan as a guide to develop future City of Tigard implementing actions? 3. What are the additional things the city should pay attention to as it develops measures to implement the HCT Land Use Plan? Next Steps A summary of "Next Steps" is provided as Attachment 4, which illustrates early preparation for this joint work session; the May 15 presentation of the draft report; acceptance of the final report; and future implementing actions. After City Council and Planning Commission input, the report will be finalized and brought back the council this summer for acceptance by resolution. At that time staff will request council to direct it and the Planning Commission to proceed with developing specific action measures for its future consideration to implement the HCT Land -Use Plan. Implementation measures will include some actions that Tigard could take independently along with others that may require close coordination with the Southwest Corridor Plan. These will be brought back to council for review and adoption. Examples of potential implementation measures are: • Comprehensive plan and zoning map amendments (new land use designations); • Application for grant funds for a Tigard Triangle Master plan; • Amendments to Tigard Transportation System Plan (TSP); • Expansion of the Downtown Tigard Town Center boundaries; • Planning for new parks or open spaces; • Community Development Code Changes; and, • Funding strategies such as tax increment financing, modified system development charges (SDC's), or business improvement districts (BID). Acceptance of the plan will also acknowledge the recommendations of the HCT Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC); fulfill the obligations of the TGM grant that funded the project, and set the stage for the city to apply for another TGM grant to accomplish a key action measure - a comprehensive Tigard Triangle Master Plan. 2 CITY OF TIGARD CONCEPTS FOR POTENTIAL STATION COMMUNITIES HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT LAND USE PLAN DRAFT REPORT VOLUME 1 OF 3 MAY 2012 TItAftD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PATTY ANDA MIKE MCCARTHY STEVE BASS CITY of TIGARD BASIL CHRISTOPHER DARREN WYSS CITY OF TIGARD DON Fox MATT CRALL SHEILA GREENLAW-FINK DEPT OF LAND CONSERVATION & DEVELOPMENT KAREN HUGHART ANNE DEBBAUT DENNIS MITCHELL DEPT OF LAND CONSERVATION & DEVELOPMENT CINDY HAHN KIM MORELAND CITY OF TUALATIN DON SCHMIDT STEVE KELLEY JENNIFER STANFIELD WASHINGTON COUNTY MIKE STEVENSON MICHELLE MILLER CITY OF TUALATIN CHRISTOPHER WARREN CARRIE PAK MAUREEN WOLF CLEAN WATER SERVICES PAUL SCHAEFER WASHINGTON COUNTY JAY SUGNET CITY OF PORTLAND JESSICA TUMP TRIMET .JUDITH GRAY JASON FRANKLIN CITY Of TIGARD PARAMETRIX SEAN FARRELLY REZA FARH000I CITY OF TIGARD PARAMETRIX CRISTA GARDNER ANNE SYLVESTER METRO PARAMETRIX LIDWIEN RAHMAN MARCY MCINELLY OREGON DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION URBSWORKS .JERRY .JOHNSON JOHNSON REID BRENDAN BUCKLEY JOHNSON REID TOM BRENNAN NELSON \NTGAARD MATT ARNOLD SERA Tigard High Capacity Land Use Plan j Concepts For Potential Station Communities 1 Draft Report 1 Volume 1 Portland, Oregon.

REPORT ORGANIZATION The Tigard HCT Land Use Plan is comprised of three volumes. Volume 1 presents the actual potential station community concepts that will be of interest to most readers. This volume is presented in three chapters. This introductory chapter provides context for the HCT Land Use Plan and the approach. It outlines some of the reasons for doing this plan, the "land use first" approach to HCT planning, key themes heard from the community, and the next steps in the process. Chapter 2 (Station Community Concepts) contains most of the substance of the Plan. It briefly describes the selection and development of seven potential station communities and then illustrates the 8 CITY OF TIGARD CONCEPTS FOR POTENTIAL STATION COMMUNITIES I DRAFT REPORT I MAY 2012 This page intentionally left blank.

There is well- connected streets, a relatively complete sidewalk opportunity for an efficient grid pattern on the east system, retail and service opportunities nearby.

This location would also require considerable coordination with Beaverton and Washington County, given their interests in adjacent areas. Access and capacity issues on the state and county roadways would also need to be addressed. SCROLLS FERRY/121ST The concept for this location reflects only minor changes. The existing commercial areas would retain their current character, but with added emphasis on the pedestrian environment. This location is nearly evenly divided between Beaverton and Tigard, and bisected by a county road, Scholls Ferry Road. As such, interagency coordination and agreement would be required to achieve the proposed concept. CITY OF TIGARD CONCEPTS FOR POTENTIAL STATION COMMUNITIES I DRAFT REPORT I MAY 2012 15 Metro DOWNTOWN TIGARD I 2040 TOWN CENTER CONCEPT OVERVIEW The concept reinforces the existing mix of small-scale neighborhood retail along Main Street and builds on the potential for substantial redevelopment adjacent to the downtown core. The rest of Downtown Tigard includes more auto - oriented strip retail NEIGHBORHOOD along OR 99W- Pacific Highway and Hall Boulevard, legacy industrial uses to the east CHARACTER along Hunziker Road and other low- intensity commercial parcels on Burnham and Commercial Streets. The established single - family residential area is not expected to see much change under this concept. Downtown Tigard is a high priority area for the city and as an Urban Renewal district is expected to receive significant investment in the coming years. While Downtown Tigard is likely to see smaller uses and lower employment density than Washington DEVELOPMENT Square or Tigard Triangle, there is greater likelihood of denser midrise (2 -3 stories) FEASIBILITY residential development. The rest of Downtown Tigard includes larger parcels that may be redeveloped in the medium- to long -term. There is also significant city -owned land in the vicinity of City Hall. Common development forms in these areas will continue to be 1 -2 stories industrial and commercial, with the possibility for mixed -use. Downtown Tigard is a Metro - designated Town Center, has an adopted downtown plan and urban renewal plan and the concept is consistent with these policies. The zoning and development standards in place for Downtown Tigard are able to support the PLAN AND POLICY envisioned concept of dense, mixed -use development. Development standards include CONSISTENCY ensuring active ground -floor uses, providing robust street connectivity, and orienting buildings towards the street, which promote the vision described in the concept. However, off - street parking policies would need to be strengthened, especially the focus areas closest to the Tigard Transit Center. The focal point of Downtown Tigard (near Main Street, Fanno Creek and City Hall) features low- traffic streets that are reasonably comfortable for walking and cycling. Fanno Creek Trail provides key connections from surrounding neighborhoods, east and west. The dose proximity of Downtown Tigard to OR 99W - Pacific Highway, and TRANSPORTATION the location of the Tigard Transit Center, provides a high level of regional access to ACCESS this location, making the area desirable for some types of development. However, OR 99W-Pacific Highway poses barriers to all travel modes, especially pedestrians and bicydes, and would need to be addressed, particularly in the western portion of the concept. The Downtown Tigard concept would include a relatively high cost of infrastructure due to a proposed crossing of OR 217, linking Tigard Triangle with the central business INFRASTRUCTURE district, as well as an extension of Ash Avenue across Fanno Creek and the Portland INVESTMENT and Western Railroad (PNWR) line. In addition, four park or open space facilities are conceptualized within this station community concept.

Fanno Creek Trail. CITY OF TIGARD CONCEPTS FOR POTENTIAL STATION COMMUNITIES I DRAFT REPORT I MAY 2012 17 TIGARD TRIANGLE Metro 2040 ENTER CONCEPT OVERVIEW The concept generally reflects the current layout of the area, with most of the transitional redevelopment focused east of 72nd Avenue. The single - family neighborhood northwest of OR 99W- Pacific Highway, commercial uses along the highway, and NEIGHBORHOOD large format retail properties west of 72nd Avenue are not expected to see significant changes in character. The most significant transition with this concept would be an CHARACTER increase in small format retail, restaurants, and housing as a complement to the current employment center, especially in the east part of the Triangle. The area east of 72nd has the basic framework of a local street grid, which would be completed to help support a pedestrian oriented, mixed -use main street environment along 68th or 69th Avenues. Tigard Triangle is an attractive area for employment and retail due to its excellent transportation access. There is a strong demand for these uses in the future and a significant amount of vacant and underutilized land in the area. Development patterns DEVELOPMENT are expected to include 5 to 6 story midrise office development, 2 to 3 story residential FEASIBILITY development and single story retail in areas adjacent to OR 99W- Pacific Highway. The challenges would be to increase the intensity of these uses while addressing state and local transportation policies and determining the best use of public dollars to focus the development pattern in a manner that complements downtown. In general, the current comprehensive plan and underlying zoning allows the types of land uses shown in this concept; however, the Tigard Development Code (TDC) limits development to 0.40 floor area ration (FAR), which effectively precludes some of the PLAN AND POLICY densities sh in the concept. In addition, some changes would be required along OR 99W - Pacific Highway. Issues associated with the state Transportat Planning Rule will CONSISTENCY need to be addressed in order to increase development potential C oordination with the Southwest Corridor Plan will likely create the best opportunity to overcome these policy barriers. Finally, the city will need to adopt the Town Center boundary in coordination with ODOT and Metro. The three state highways that define the Tigard Triangle provide a high level of regional access to this location, which makes the area highly desirable for many types of development. At the same time, these highways pose significant barriers to all travel TRANSPORTATION modes, especially pedestrians and bicycles. It would be necessary for future planning and development to balance the needs for additional motor vehicle and freight mobility ACCESS with the needs for safe and efficient pedestrian and bicycle access. The right land use mix, design, and building orientation would likely be a part of creating walkability and efficient internal circulation. Transit coverage will need to be expanded to better serve the interior of the Triangle from other regional destinations. The estimated cost of implementing the Triangle concept is expected to be high due to INFRASTRUCTURE the planned crossing of OR 217 linking Downtown Tigard with the Triangle as well as a crossing of Interstate 5 at Beveland Street /Southwood Drive. In addition, the Triangle INVESTMENT concept proposes several miles of new streets to complete the local grid system in the area around 72nd Avenue, as well as new parks and open spaces.

CITY OF TIGARD CONCEPTS FOR POTENTIAL STATION COMMUNITIES I DRAFT REPORT I MAY 2012 19 WASHINGTON SQUARE Metro 2040 REGIONAL CENTER CONCEPT OVERVIEW With extensive retail and little housing in this area, there is substantial opportunity to change the character of the area to make it consistent with the concept and the adopted Regional Center Plan. The focus of the changes in the concept would be along Greenburg Road and the parking areas south of the mall, and on forming east- NEIGHBORHOOD west connections to the existing Metzger neighborhood to the east. Additional retail is CHARACTER envisioned to take the form of a "main street". The mall, the office properties west of OR 217, and the neighborhood to the east of Greenburg Road are not expected to see significant changes in character, other than greater pedestrian and bicycle amenities and a multimodal network linking the mall to adjacent neighborhoods. The Washington Square area is a significant retail and office commercial hub on both sides of OR 217. These uses are expected to thrive in the future, with 5 -6 story midrise office development and ground -floor retail as well as single -story retail Almost 7% DEVELOPMENT of land area in the Washington Square station community (within Tigard) consists of FEASIBILITY "highly underutilized" creating redevelopment potential, especially at the southern end of the mall complex. However, significant public investment may be needed to develop multi - family housing in an area that has seen a lack of private investment to provide such uses. The concept is consistent with the policies in the Regional Center Plan, which are designed to foster compact, mixed -use development to support high capacity transit Local plans have called for addressing the needs for greater multimodal connectivity, PLAN AND POLICY especially across OR 217, and for mixed -use residential development with neighborhood CONSISTENCY retail to help establish a sense of community at that location. Washington Square has design and development standards in place similar to downtown, which would work to support HCT. OR 217 provides efficient access to the area, which would help attract many different forms of redevelopment. Transit service is comprehensive, with the Washington Square Transit Center and the nearby WES station providing access to other parts of the region. TRANSPORTATION Reflecting the auto - oriented uses of the area, existing pedestrian and bicycle access is ACCESS in need of improvement, with OR 217 and Fanno Creek posing a major barrier to east - west traveL Internal circulation within the Washington Square complex would need to be addressed as planning goes forward to ensure that new development incorporates greater multimodal connectivity, while maintaining freight access. The future vision for Washington Square includes a new multimodal overcrossing that bridges the divide between both sides of OR 217, while enhancing access to the INFRASTRUCTURE shopping center from the Hall /Nimbus WES station and the Fanno Creek TraiL This NVESTMENT improvement is expected to have a relatively high cost due to the necessary crossing of the PNWR line. There are also proposed improvements to connect the Fanno Creek Trail with the Scholls Ferry/ 121st station community.

CITY OF TIGARD CONCEPTS FOR POTENTIAL STATION COMMUNITIES I DRAFT REPORT I MAY 2012 21 SCHOLLS Metro o M etr CORRIDOR CONCEPT OVERVIEW The concept leaves the character of this neighborhood intact with an emphasis on residential and with the existing shopping center serving as the hub of this potential station community. Some redevelopment could occur in the commercial area with the NEIGHBORHOOD potential for mixed -use retail and high- density residential in buildings that would be CHARACTER oriented along the street Scholls Ferry Road, as a major commuter thoroughfare, could be reimagined as a main street with a narrower cross - section and multiple midblock crossings to create a more inviting pedestrian experience. Single- family residential neighborhoods are not expected to see a change in character. This area of Tigard is primarily single - family residential in character but could see a modest intensification of land uses at the Greenway Town Center location and other parcels directly adjacent to Scholls Ferry Road. The station community could DEVELOPMENT complement the shopping mall and large- format commercial at nearby Washington FEASIBILITY Square with neighborhood - serving retail, but in a more compact urban form. Multi- family residential (2 -3 story) may be possible in certain locations, as well as new commercial development The level of support for the concept found in the comprehensive plan and local zoning is varied. Existing commercial zones along Scholls Ferry Road would not be entirely consistent with the concept. Proposed housing redevelopment would be suitable in PLAN AND POLICY existing high- density zones. Additional planning efforts would need to be undertaken CONSISTENCY at both the local and regional level to assess the market and regulatory viability of increasing development intensity and devise an action plan on the mechanisms and incentives to help achieve that growth. Tigard would need to collaborate with the City of Beaverton on future planning efforts. The level of multimodal access to this location is well- suited to high- density residential development with local- serving retail. Investments would need be to made to bolster TRANSPORTATION transit coverage and improve the active transportation network in order to enhance the ACCESS character of the neighborhood as a pedestrian - friendly, mixed -use center. A grid system of paths would help improve multimodal circulation. Multi -use trail connections to the Fanno Creek Trail and other active transportation INFRASTRUCTURE investment make up the bulk of planned improvements within the Scholls Ferry/ 121st INVESTMENT concept plan, resulting in a relatively low cost for new infrastructure.

The concept seeks to revitalize the existing strip commercial centers with higher - density mixed -use, while maintaining the character of single - family neighborhoods situated just beyond the retail areas. Additional changes to the NEIGHBORHOOD area would include the introduction of a bicycle /pedestrian path grid to serve the CHARACTER commercial development and midblock crossings along OR 99W-Pacific Highway to improve multimodal circulation and safety. Building and streetscape design along the corridor would focus on providing definition and a sense of enclosure to the street. In the interim, this would be achieved through surface parking screening and landscaping, and in the long term through re- orientation of buildings. OR 99W - Pacific Highway is a thoroughfare of regional and statewide importance, providing significant visibility and traffic to support a variety of commercial uses. The DEVELOPMENT older and /or underdeveloped properties would be best candidates for new transit - FEASIBILITY oriented development (TOD) in the form of horizontal mixed -use built along the street frontage, with parking behind buildings. Multifamily residential at 2 -4 stories with the possibility of ground -floor retail, could be built alongside commercial properties. The 99W /Gaarde- McDonald concept would require significant local planning amendments to fully implement the concept. Design standards similar to downtown would need to be put in place to encourage development that fronts the street; new PLAN AND POLICY zoning that allows for a mix of residential and commercial uses would be necessary. CONSISTENCY Regional and statewide policies would need to be addressed to ensure that the area reaches its growth potential without excessive traffic impacts to OR 99W - Pacific Highway. A Station Community could be established as part of the Southwest Corridor Plan. The level of access to this area corresponds with the uses and built form of development that has occurred to date, and would continue to occur unless significant changes to the build environment are made. While OR 99W - Pacific Highway provides principal TRANSPORTATION vehicle and freight access, its design makes traveling by foot or bike an inhospitable ACCESS experience due to large cross - sections that encourage high speeds, the lack of street network connectivity and crosswalks, and substandard sidewalk infrastructure. A grid network of paths would be designed to improve multimodal connectivity. East -west transit coverage would also need to be improved to facilitate new regional connections. The 99W / Gaarde- McDonald concept features bicycle /pedestrian improvements along, and just offset from, OR 99W - Pacific Highway in both directions to help improve I NFRASTRUCTURE mobility and circulation for these modes. New connections are also envisioned across INVESTMENT the thoroughfare to provide access to commercial and mixed -use properties. The cost of these improvements should be low, relative to other station concepts.

CITY OF TIGARD CONCEPTS FOR POTENTIAL STATION COMMUNITIES I DRAFT REPORT I MAY 2012 3 99W/DURHAM lc Metro 2040 TOWN ENTER CONCEPT OVERVIEW This area includes multiple retirement communities and shopping centers bisected by OR 99W- Pacific Highway. The concept would redevelop the shopping areas with more NEIGHBORHOOD housing and a mix of uses to provide development that better supports HCT. Some of CHARACTER the residential areas could see higher densities, new parks and a more connected street grid, while much of the existing residential would maintain its existing character. While single -story retail forms are likely to continue, the potential exists for cultivating a town center character at this location due to the fairly high density of nearby retirement DEVELOPMENT communities. The depth of the existing commercial parcels provides development flexibility. The challenge would be promoting development that better supports high FEASIBILITY capacity transit in an area that is currently characterized by a high -speed highway and strip commercial. Multifamily residential of 2 -4 stories with ground floor retail is suitable for much of the area. The local comprehensive plan and underlying zoning would need to be updated in order to fully implement the concept, including provisions for mixed -use, higher- density uses compared to what is in place currently. Tigard and King City would need to work PLAN AND POLICY together to establish a Town Center boundary (which has been conceptualized in the CONSISTENCY Metro 2040 Growth Concept but not locally planned or adopted), and collaborate on a local land use or station area plan to advance a vision on how the neighborhood could develop. These plans would need to address statewide transportation policies to ensure that traffic impacts to OR 99W-Pacific Highway are mitigated. While OR 99W-Pacific Highway provides principal vehicle and freight access, its design makes traveling by foot or bike an inhospitable experience due to large cross - sections that encourage high speeds, the lack of street network connectivity and crosswalks, and substandard sidewalk infrastructure. Facilitating local bicycle and pedestrian access TRANSPORTATION would also be necessary to ensure that alternatives for accessing retail destinations exist ACCESS for those in surrounding communities. A grid network of paths would be designed to improve multimodal connectivity and reduce local traffic on OR 99W - Pacific Highway. East -west transit coverage would also need to be improved to facilitate new regional connections. A new grid of streets in the vicinity of the Royal Mobile Villas constitutes the majority of proposed infrastructure improvements in the 99W /Durham concept. Along with INFRASTRUCTURE new bicycle and pedestrian enhancements concentrated at the intersection of OR INVESTMENT 99W-Pacific Highway and Durham Road, the total cost of new investment is expected to be average, relative to the other station community concepts. In addition, three park and /or open space facilities are included within this station community concept.

CITY OF TIGARD CONCEPTS FOR POTENTIAL STATION COMMUNITIES I DRAFT REPORT I MAY 2012 2-7 UPPER BRIDGEPORT VILLAGE CONCEPT OVERVIEW The Upper Bridgeport Village concept represents only a small change from the existing neighborhood character. The area is expected to remain primarily light industrial and office park. The focus of town center development would be located at the intersection NEIGHBORHOOD of Upper Boones Ferry Road and 72nd Avenue, with a grid of paths and bikeways to CHARACTER help with local circulation and promote a more walkable urban form. New mixed -use commercial could be built to tie in with the existing Bridgeport Village shopping center in the city of Tualatin. The residential neighborhoods to the west would maintain their existing character. The Upper Bridgeport Village location is attractive for industrial and employment uses. These uses are expected to continue in 1 -4 story form due to the location's designations DEVELOPMENT as an "Employment" and "Industrial" area in Metro Title 4. Given the area's strong FEASIBILITY freeway access, development is likely to remain primarily office park in nature. There may be opportunities for mixed -use office with ground -floor retail in buildings fronting the street, with the possibility for more residential uses to the south. This area represents a significant local and regional employment center and the concept maintains this direction. Some changes to local zoning would be required to increase the intensity of the employment uses, moving from light industrial to office park. The city PLAN AND POLICY would need to coordinate with Metro to establish and adopt a Station Community as part CONSISTENCY of the Southwest Corridor Plan and work in partnership with Lake Oswego and Tualatin. Any zone change would also require the city to address statewide transportation policies that could limit development capacity within a quarter -mile of an interstate interchange (which encompasses much of the land in Upper Bridgeport Village). I -5 provides excellent vehicle and freight access to the area but the industrial nature of the area does not provide the best environment for pedestrians. A proposed grid of paths would help improve internal circulation and connect existing neighborhoods to nearby dining and entertainment options. An extension of Fanno Creek Trail is TRANSPORTATION envisioned to provide convenient bicycle and pedestrian access to points further north ACCESS and south while an additional trail is envisioned along the PNWR line connecting under Interstate 5. The potential for a new bridge over the WES line to connect to Fanno Creek is included in the concept All-day transit service is currently not provided and will need to be introduced to provide access to and from other regional destinations. The Upper Bridgeport Village concept is expected to have medium cost of infrastructure due to the extension of the Fanno Creek Trail south through the station community INFRASTRUCTURE and its associated connections to the surrounding communities (one of these access INVESTMENT points would require a new PNWR crossing). A bicycle and pedestrian trail would also be extended along another branch of the PNWR line underneath Interstate 5. t3 CITY OF TIGARD CONCEPTS FOR POTENTIAL STATION COMMUNITIES I DRAFT REPORT I MAY 2012 ' y I CONCEPT it , . . _ I PLAN . •.. 4 STATION ` ,, TYPOLOGY - k . >' a t Proposed Station Types • i ce, ,,,..-.,L. - �\ c b =` cue e� e ° J i� ��a° ac s a t f ' ° � r. , .,r Proposed Connections • L � QO (New and Improved) S..„ .• • 1 ,,,,,s « ,, , . y .. _ _ Local Multimodal 44j9Y , d' ; ' y • 3 Street ° w o,. �� 4 4 i Z Z t Z; Bike /Red Route .

SUPPLEMENTAL PACKET FOR i a / , d !'k— (DATE 9�1 e� OF MEETING) J II • City o Tigard Ard- 3 y g TIGARD Memorandum To: City Council, Planning Commission and Interested Parties From: Judith Gray Re: Supplemental Questions & Answers Date: May 15, 2012 In preparation for the May 15 consultant presentation, staff conducted several small group meetings with members of City Council and Planning Commission. The purpose of the meetings was to help ensure that the limited time available on May 15 would be as productive as possible. With this in mind, the small group meetings were conducted with the following objectives: • Review the contents and organization of the draft High Capacity Transit Land Use Plan; • Clarify the purpose of the presentation within the context of past activities and next steps; and, • Identify any questions that City Council and Planning Commission members have in advance of the May 15 presentation. Staff also provided a brief project update /summary to City Manager Wine and the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee (1T AC). This memorandum summarizes the questions from the meetings and provides brief responses. Q. Why isn't this report going to be formally adopted as new policy? This plan was conducted to determine the types of neighborhoods that Tigard residents feel is right for this community. While there was considerable technical analysis conducted to support the final report, the emphasis was on community values and priorities. The next step will be to use these concepts to identify priorities and potential implementing actions. Future implementing actions will be subject to the city's public review process for policy and budget proposals. At a future meeting, staff will ask council to "accept" the final report. The purposes of "accepting" the plan are to: 1) acknowledge the considerable work done by the Citizens Advisory Committee; 2) meet the city's obligations under our grant agreement; and 3) provide direction for potential implementing actions and coordination with regional planning. Q. What things should we do to stay ahead in the regional planning process? By conducting our work in coordination with regional planning, Tigard has the opportunity to take implementing actions that make the case for potential regional, state, and federal investments in Tigard. In moving forward to explore such actions, it is essential to begin with an underlying concept of the types of actions the community will support. The HCT Land Use Plan provides a foundation based on community input to help identify and select community priorities. These could include policy changes related to zoning and development, or a revised Town Center boundary to include the Triangle. It could also point to specific project priorities, such as new roadway connections or trail projects. It is important to note that the outcome of this plan does not point to a desire for wholesale change throughout the city. Rather, it identifies several areas that have the most potential to improve through strategic change. There are several Tigard projects already completed, underway, or planned that would also implement some of the concepts. For example, the Main Street Green Street project and the Downtown Connectivity Plan will help realize the Downtown concept. Also, the city has already taken steps to expand the Town Center boundary to include the Triangle. Based on the direction from the HCT Land Use Plan, that work could now be furthered. Q. What are the things we need to do to stay ahead of the market for development, especially in the Triangle? The final concept for a potential station community in the Triangle reflects a desire for a more walkable "town center" environment, especially east of 72nd Avenue, as well as a desire for more residential opportunities. Actual development will depend on market conditions. However, the city could take actions that would provide more opportunities for this type of development. Potential actions include: changes in zoning to allow more residential development; refinements to the Downtown Town Center boundary to include some of the Triangle; potential roadway and pedestrian connectivity improvements. Q. How flexible are these concepts? For example, does the Triangle concept limit the building heights of residential development? The concepts are intended to inform future planning activities. As the city begins taking implementing actions, it will frequently be necessary to refine and revise specific concept elements. For example, the typology summary on Page 12 indicates that in areas designated Town Center /Main Street the building heights would be one to ten stories. This is a broad average. There may be specific areas where the city wishes to explore higher level housing opportunities. Q. During the public involvement, did the project team consider setting up a table at Washington Square Mall? With all the people there, it seems like a great opportunity to reach the community. The Public Involvement Plan approved by the Planning Commission for this project did not include outreach at Washington Square Mall. The mall is often a great way to do outreach because of the large number of people there from all over the region. For the Tigard HCT Land Use Plan, our focus is on local community values and neighborhoods in Tigard. For that reason, our community outreach focused on local activities, including information tables at the Tigard Area Farmers Market, Tigard Balloon Festival and other local community presentations. One benefit of the larger Southwest Corridor effort is that information tables were also set up around the region, including the Sherwood Great Onion Festival, Tualatin Giant Pumpkin Regatta, and a Portland open house and farmers market. Q. Who is the intended audience for the report? The final report is divided into three volumes. Volume 1 summarizes the main themes and findings of the plan. It is intended to be easily understood by a broad public audience. Volume 1 is the subject of the May 15 presentation and has been distributed to all members of Planning Commission and council. Volume 2 includes the interim reports that were produced during the course of the project. Volume 3 has detailed technical reports, some policy analysis, notes about public meetings, and other basic project notes. Because Volumes 2 and 3 are very long and contain background information only, staff limited printing to two copies to save resources. Both volumes are available to be downloaded from the project web site. Copies are also being held at the permit counter for public review. Q. Did the public involvement effort reach a sufficient sample size so that we're comfortable with the results? Generally, yes. We are very happy with the outcome of the public involvement efforts for this project and see it as a robust effort. You can see from the Public Involvement Summary (provided) that there were several major endeavors, including the approximately 45 stakeholder interviews that laid the groundwork for the neighborhood typology; the Design Workshops (May 2011) and the Open House (September 2011) where community members helped to lay out the alternatives and refine the final concepts; and an appointed Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) that spent many hours in committee and on their own to develop the concepts. We also heard from people in various local events, through the web site, and via email. At this phase of planning, sample size is not the best measure of success. That is more suitable to specific questions and direct surveys such as Tigard's community attitudes survey. Q. What will be the opportunities for citizens to participate in the Southwest Corridor Plan? The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for the HCT Land Use Plan has completed their work. In order to facilitate on -going citizen participation in the regional Southwest Corridor Plan, staff has created the "Tigard Connections Team" which had a kick -off event on January 30. Future events will be coordinated with Southwest Corridor Plan events in order to help Tigard citizens effectively represent local interests in the regional plan process. The Connections Team is intended to have a flexible framework so that people can participate in the forums and at the levels of commitment that fit for them. Q. What types of skills will we need to do the implementation actions? Will we require consultant services? Some of the implementing actions can be completed using existing resources. In many cases, such projects are already planned or underway. There will be a need for consultant support on some measures. Staff is exploring grant opportunities for potential planning work. Q. With the request to "accept" the plan, is this the last opportunity for local decision makers to make a go /no go decision on the plan? Should we add a footnote that indicates "subject to future benefit /cost analysis "? At a City Council meeting, staff will ask council to vote on a resolution "accepting" the final report. This action will not commit the city to any specific investments or expenditures. Rather, it lays out a set of options and informs potential future planning activities. When we draft the resolution, staff will consult the City Attorney to determine if there is an appropriate caveat or "whereas" statement that would ensure that the action will not be misconstrued as an obligation for specific expenditures. Q. Does the city own the final product? This project was funded by a Transportation Growth Management (TGM) grant, administered by ODOT and granted jointly to the City of Tigard and Metro. According to the IGA for the grant, all of the work products related to the project are the property of ODOT, Metro, and the city. AIS -901 4 Workshop Meeting • Meeting Date: 05/15/2012 Length (in minutes): 45 Minutes Agenda Title: Outline of River Terrace Community Plan Prepared For: Ron Bunch Submitted By: Ron Bunch, Community Development Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Meeting Type: Council Workshop Mtg. Information ISSUE Staff will update the council on the status of the River Terrace Community Plan including a proposed timefame and specific tasks needed to complete it. STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Council is requested to receive briefing from staff, ask questions and provide input as desired. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY The city has agreed via an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Washington County to refine its West Bull Mt. Concept Plan (Attachment 4) into a community plan. This planning effort will be known as the River Terrace Community Plan and encompass an area that includes urban growth boundary expansion areas 63, 64 and Roy Rogers West (Attachment 3). The community plan will put into place a means to implement the vision of the concept plan through zoning, development code regulations and implement other measures that will make urban development possible. The process will also include updates to utility, parks and transportation master plans. Furthermore, the community plan will provide the financial strategies necessary to fund and maintain required infrastructure improvements. The development of the community plan will require coordination between city departments, as well as with other government agencies. This will include close coordination with the City of Beaverton as it develops a concept plan for the South Cooper Mountain area. Working together on transportation and sanitary sewer issues will be particularly important. Involvement and input of citizen stakeholders will also be necessary. More detailed information can be found in Attachment 1, which includes background information, basic outline and timeframe for the community plan, next immediate steps and council decisions during the process (Attachment 2).

It provides a brief history of the River Terrace vicinity, and reviews the numerous issues and tasks associated with developing the land use, public facility plans, regulations and funding mechanisms necessary for the area to urbanize. A general timeframe is also provided consistent with the schedule and work plans that were developed during the city's annexation of Area 64. Please note that the term "River Terrace" is used synonymously /interchangeably with Areas 63, 64 and the Rural Element to describe the area brought into the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and the area included in Washington County's West Bull Mountain Concept Plan. At the time of Area 64 annexation, staff felt it important to use the term "River Terrace" to ensure a distinction between the subject area and unincorporated urban Bull Mountain. BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION Recent History Area 63 and 64 comprise about 470 acres of rural lands that were brought into the Metro Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) during Metro's2001 -- 2002 UGB expansion. At about that time the City Of Tigard was working with Washington County to annex West Bull Mountain. The prevailing thought was that once this was accomplished the city would be contiguous to Areas 63 and 64 and annexation would follow. Tigard would have then been in a position to do the required planning and ultimately annex the two areas. The West Bull Mountain annexation did not occur, which prevented the city from obtaining contiguity with Area's 63 and 64. Washington County then took responsibility for doing the necessary planning to urbanize the area. During this process the county decided to add the 250 acre Rural Element area, which was not in the UGB, to the Concept Plan. This was done with the concurrence of Metro staff. Addition of the "Rural Element" was necessary to make it possible to realistically plan for the provision of transportation, sewer and water facilities for both Area 63 and 64. Page 1 of 5 The prospect of additional unincorporated urban land on its boundaries was very concerning for Tigard. Tigard participated in the concept planning tasks at the Technical Advisory Committee level and consistently expressed that Washington County and Tigard should work together to find a way to provide municipal government services to the Areas 63 and 64. The issue expanded in 2010 as Washington County and Metro, with Tigard's participation, designated several hundred additional acres in the vicinity as future urban reserves. Washington County completed the Concept Plan in November 2010. A primary finding was that there was no way for the county or service districts to provide all urban services to the area, especially domestic water. However the county adopted the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan by resolution as a guide to future urban development. Because the plan was not adopted by ordinance, it left the door open for Washington County and the city to discuss what jurisdiction should have governance authority. In October 2011 Tigard, with the assistance of the City of Beaverton, and the concurrence of Washington County, annexed Area 64 via a triple majority annexation. Over 75% of property owners signed petitions for annexation to occur. Metro Council also voted in October to expand the Urban Growth Boundary. This expansion included 50 acres of the Rural Element (known as Roy Rogers West). This small area was added to increase the feasibility of service extension and provide contiguity between Areas 63 and 64. Over the months following the annexation, Tigard and Washington County developed an intergovernmental agreement for coordination of governance activities and transfer of road ownership. To complete the necessary planning, the county agreed to assign its remaining Construction Excise Tax Planning Grant funds (approx. $134,000). At this time, the city is poised to initiate the community planning process on July 1, 2012. Once adopted by council, the tools created by the Community Plan will allow urbanization to occur. Annexation of Area 63 The city has not yet received a request form property owners to annex Area 63. Furthermore, annexation is complicated by a possible remand of Metro's Urban Growth Boundary expansion decision by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC). Staff at the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) has recommended LCDC remand Metro's decision for additional findings that it comply with Statewide Planning Goal 14, Urbanization and other errors. The primary concern associated with this decision is that it might, at a later date, negate the inclusion of the 50 acre piece of Roy Rogers West that provides contiguity between River Terrace (Tigard) and Area 63. However, the 90 day enactment period of the Metro ordinance that adopted the UGB expansion has passed. The local decision is valid and the downside of potentially waiting many months for this issue to be resolved outweighs the risks associated with moving ahead with annexation. City staff is discussing this matter with the city attorney and hopes to have a strategy soon as how to best proceed. Page 2 of 5 Relationship of the River Terrace Community Plan and the Preferred West Bull Mountain Concept Plan The Preferred West Bull Mountain Concept Plan was developed over a period of five and a half years from about 2005 to 2010 by Washington County in partnership by Metro. As above, the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan does not have legislative land use authority. Instead it provides the framework within which the River Terrace Community Plan will be developed. In other words, the Community Plan will consist of specific regulatory land -use maps; public facility and transportation master plans; infrastructure financing mechanisms; codes and regulations etc. to implement the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan. Policy Questions To date, the following five policy questions have been discussed by the City Council. Council's direction on these matters will guide development of the River Terrace Community Plan. 1. Will the River Terrace Community Plan honor the work done on the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan? During the process of annexing Area 64, the question was posed to the city regarding whether it would honor the West Bull Mountain Concept plan or change it. The Concept Plan required significant agency and public input during the five year process. It was approved by the Technical Advisory Committees and Citizen Advisory Groups that worked on it. The city's response was that it has an obligation to respect the public process and develop the Community Plan in accordance with the Concept Plan. The exception being that some changes may be necessary, based on the more detailed level of analysis required by the Community Plan. 2. Will certain areas of the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan be given preference to develop sooner than the other? Tigard Tualatin School District at a recent joint meeting with the City Council sought assurance that both Areas 63 and 64 would be available for development at the same time (for the purposes of facility planning and development). Council expressed the view that no preference should be given to one area over another regarding timing of development opportunities. 3. Will Tigard continue to involve stakeholders when it develops the River Terrace Community Plan? Agencies and property owners have posed the question to the city whether it will involve stakeholders including property owners, abutting jurisdictions and agencies in developing the Community Plan. Tigard has assured that this will occur. 4. Will River Terrace be subject to brand new land -use regulations or will Tigard utilize its existing land -use regulatory framework? Staff has been asked by council to use, to the extent possible, the city's existing land use policy and regulatory framework in developing the River Terrace Community Plan. This means that there will not be wholesale development of new land -use districts and policies specific to River Terrace. The city's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map designations will be applied where applicable as well as its Community Development Code. However, there will also be numerous amendments to city master plans such as the Transportation System Plan (TSP), Water Master Plan, and Parks, Trails, Recreation and Open Space Plan. 5. The City of Beaverton is concept planning North Cooper Mountain, which is adjacent to River Terrace (north of Scholl's Ferry Road). Will Tigard ensure coordination of the Page 3 of 5 Community Plan development with the City of Beaverton's concept planning efforts? The Tigard City Council at the recent joint meeting with the Beaverton City Council stressed the importance of close coordination with the City of Beaverton and others that have interests in planning for new urban development including Clean Water Services (CWS) and Washington County. River Terrace Community Plan The River Terrace Community Plan will implement, to the extent practical, the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan. It will cover the currently annexed area of River Terrace (Area 64), Area 63 and the 50 acre portion of the Rural Element (Roy Rogers West). The remainder of the rural element will not be included in the Community Plan because it is not in the Metro UGB and cannot be annexed to the city. As part of the Community Plan, the City Council and /or the Planning Commission will have responsibility for holding legislative public hearings to accomplish the following items. Attachment 2 shows a list of tasks and the necessary hearings for each task. ➢ Establish land -use designations regulations, and standards on about 515 acres Residential densities will be consistent with those of the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan and will provide the development opportunity for about 2,800 housing units. The main housing types will be low and medium density residential on about 90 percent of the net buildable acreage. The remaining residential lands will accommodate high density development. ➢ Designate approximately 8 acres of neighborhood commercial sites Other than a 19 acre school site in Area 63, no other employment land is proposed. ➢ Apply natural resource protections Identify and modify existing maps for wetlands and potential Clean Water Services Vegetated Corridors and natural hazard areas (lands subject to landslides). ➢ Amend the following City Master Plans and regulatory maps to address River Terrace infrastructure requirements: • Parks, Recreation and Trails • Storm /Surface Water Quality • Water Master Plan • Sanitary Sewer (CWS) • Urban Forestry • Transportation System Plan ➢ Develop a Financial Strategy In addition, the City Council will need to approve a River Terrace financial plan which will pay for the construction of required new infrastructure and its operations and maintenance. This plan may include changes to system development charges (SDCs) to implement the River Terrace plan elements for parks, storm water management, sanitary sewers, water, and transportation improvements. It may also be necessary to consider an SDC for major street improvements that specifically benefit development in River Terrace. In addition to system development charges, it will be important to address whether or not different utility rates for water, sewer, and storm /surface water quality will also be assessed because of the area's Page 4 of 5 special characteristics. For example, pumping stations are required for sanitary flows. The council may wish to evaluate other fees and charges such as whether or not to levy a community planning surcharge on new land -use permits and /or for building permits to ultimately recoup the investment the city makes in providing the development entitlements associated with the Community Plan. Community Plan Timeframe Staff anticipates development of the Community Plan will take between 12 and 18 months. There are several variables that will affect the timeframe, such as the efficiency of the local legislative process (Planning Commission and City Council hearings); stakeholder opposition and possible appeals; and the fate of Metro's UGB Decision, etc. The River Terrace Timeframe chart (Attachment 2) summarizes the sequence of tasks and timeframe. The timeframe does not take into account these factors and it may have to be adjusted if unanticipated issues arise.as work progresses. Staff understands that council wishes to adopt an effective and useful Community Plan, but also has a desire to complete the plan as soon as possible. One way to do this is to not wait until the whole package of proposed amendments are completed before starting the public hearing process. Hearings can be held as soon as each legislative element is completed with a specified enactment date upon acknowledgment of the entire package by the Land Conservation and Development Commission and approval of Metro. l: \LRPLN \River Terrace Community Plan \Council Materials \5 -15 -12 Meeting \Final Documents \901 5 -15.12 River Terrace Attach 1 the one to use_dl.docx Page 5 of 5 Attachment 2: General Timeframe - River Terrace Community Plan 2012 2013 Task May /June July /Aug Sept /Oct Nov /Dec Jan /Feb Mar /Apr May /June July /Aug Sept /Oct Nov /Dec Project Scoping, CWS Coordination, Citizen /Agency Engagement Plan Area 63 /Roy Rogers West Annexation, = << :i Annexation to CWS & Metro Districts Apply Tigard Comprehensive Plan Map Designations Goal 5 Natural Resources Inventory, Maps and Protections City Master Plan Amendments &River 1 4 Terrace Financial Plan +- Refinement of Transportation Analysis & TSP Amendments Amend Tigard Urban Services & Urban Planning Area Agreements Develop and Apply Zoning & Development • Code Regulations ' Final Hearings and DLCD /Metro Review 4 _ Stakeholder Meeting /Workshop * Planning Commission Hearing * City Council Hearing ock , n;,:,!,,,.,. . -, - 7 - .' s! , ' , ' ..1` .41 - 1 1 verTertace V k, 1 o ne A �e T aue� 88 r* River Terrace 4":,::41- 1 1 ::;43:: ' e r ''', ' _'• '! j Urban Growth Boundary Ili _ _ - - -' .a a.
