Dear Mr. Finklea:
This letter is in response to your request for a Minor Modification approval to modify the site plan for
Northwest Landscape Industries located at 16075 SW Upper Boones Ferry Road in the Light Industrial
(I -L) zone. The request is to enclose an existing 930 square foot roofed area that is situated between the
office and warehouse. The present use of the site is listed as a permitted use for this zoning district.
The Tigard Community Development Code Section 18.360 states that the Director shall approve or
conditionally approve a minor modification if the proposed development is in compliance with all
applicable requirements of the Tigard Community Development Code and the modification is not a
major modification. A major modification would result if one (1) or more of the following changes are
proposed:
1. An increase in dwelling unit density, or lot coverage for residential development. The
proposal does not involve a residential development; therefore, this , standard does not apply.
2. A change in the ratio or number of different types of dwelling units. This criterion is not
applicable, as this request does not involve a residential development.
3. A change that requires additional on -site parking in accordance with Chapter 18.765. The
change would increase the building square footage by 930 square feet. No additional on -site
parking is required because the site exceeds the maximum amount of parking allowed by the
Tigard Community Development Code.
4. A change in the type of commercial or industrial structures as defined by the Uniform
Building Code. No change in the type of structure is proposed.

5. An increase in the height of the building(s) by more than 20 percent. No change in the height
of the building is proposed. •
6. A change in the type and location of accessways and parking areas where off -site traffic
. would be affected. This request will not require a change in accessways or parking areas where
off -site traffic would be affected.

7. An increase in vehicular traffic to, and from the site, and the increase can be expected to
exceed 100 vehicles per day. No additional traffic will be generated on the site. According to
the applicant, no additional employees will be added as a result of this area being enclosed.
8. An increase in the floor area proposed for a non - residential use by more than 10 percent
excluding expansions under 5,000 square feet. The proposed increase of 930 square feet does
not exceed the 5,000 square feet modification limitation; therefore, this standard does not apply.
9. A reduction in the area reserved for common open space and /or usable open space which
reduces the open space area below the minimum required by this code or reduces the open
space area by more than 10 percent. There is no area reserved for common open space;
therefore, this standard does not apply.
10. A reduction of project amenities (Recreational facilities; Screening; and /or Landscaping
provisions) below the minimum established by this code or by more than 10 percent where
specified in the site plan. There is no change in project amenities; therefore, this standard has
been satisfied.
11. A modification to the conditions imposed at the time of Site Development Review approval
which are not the subject of Section 18.360.050.B. 1 through 10 (above). There is no
modification to the conditions imposed by the last minor modification that was issued in 1998.
The facility was built before the City's site development review process was adopted.
This request is determined to be a minor modification to an existing site. The Director's designee has
determined that the proposed minor modification of this existing site will continue to promote the general
welfare of the City and will not be significantly detrimental, nor injurious to surrounding properties
provided that, development which occurs after this decision complies with all applicable local, state, and
federal laws.
THIS REQUEST FOR MINOR MODIFICATION APPROVAL HAS BEEN APPROVED.

Re: Minor Modification Approval for 16075 SW Upper Boones Ferry Rd. •
Dear Mr. Ackerman:
This letter is in response to the Minor Modification request submitted to
permanently relocate one of three trailers on the property at 16075 SW
Upper Boones Ferry Road to another part of this site. The three trailers
were previously permitted under Temporary Use Permit applications. The
other existing temporary trailers are to be removed. The Director has
approved this request as proposed based on the findings contained within
your letter dated June 18, 1998.
To avoid any unnecessary delays please submit a copy of this letter with
your Building Permit application.
