Meeting • Meeting Date: 04/16/2013 Length (in minutes): 10 Minutes Agenda Title: Briefing on an Intergovernmental Agreement with Washington County Regarding the Construction of a Water Line to Serve River Terrace Prepared For: Rob Murchison Submitted By: Greer Gaston, Public Works Council Workshop Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Meeting Type: Mtg. Public Hearing Newspaper Legal Ad Required ?: No Public Hearing Publication Date in Newspaper: Information ISSUE Briefing on an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Washington County regarding the construction of a water line to serve River Terrace. STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST No formal action is requested; the council will be asked to formally consider the IGA on its consent agenda at an upcoming meeting. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY • Washington County plans to reconstruct and widen the section of Scholls Ferry Road from Roy Rogers Road to the Walnut Street /Murray Road intersection. • The city needs to install approximately 2,600 feet of water line under a section of Scholls Ferry Road from Roy Rogers Road to Barrows Road. This water line will eventually become part of the distribution system that will supply water to River Terrace. • The county's project area for roadwork overlaps the city's project area for the water line. • The attached IGA incorporates the city's water line project into the county's roadwork project. This allows the city to avoid excavating the new Scholls Ferry Road roadbed in the future —an activity that would not be viewed favorably by the county due to their roadway cut moratorium. And, when compared to constructing the roadwork and water line separately, combining projects will save money and reduce the number and duration of disruptions for motorists and area residents. • The IGA outlines city and county responsibilities. In general, the county will construct, contract and manage the construction of both projects; this is similar to other agreements the city has entered into with the state and the county. The city will design, fund and inspect the construction of the water line project. • The attached IGA is in draft form; it is currently being reviewed by the city attorney and county staff. The council will be asked to formally consider the IGA on its consent agenda at an upcoming meeting. OTHER ALTERNATIVES The council could choose to: 1. Not enter into the IGA and could construct the water line at a later date. 2. Direct staff to look at additional alternatives or pursue some other course of action. 3. Direct staff to re- negotiate the IGA to pursue a different allocation of project responsibilities and /or funding. COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS, POLICIES, MASTER PLANS Not applicable DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION This is the first time this IGA has come before the council. Fiscal Impact Cost: $1.45 million Budgeted (yes or no): Proposed * Where Budgeted (department /program): Water CIP Fund Additional Fiscal Notes: The estimated cost of water line construction and county administrative services, as outlined in the IGA, is $805,000. Additional monies will be needed to cover project design and city staffing costs (project manager, inspector, etc.). The total water related costs for the project is budgeted at $900,000. In addition, there are $550,000 of sanitary sewer related costs related to serving River Terrace, bringing the total project cost up to the listed $1.45 million. * The proposed 2013 -2018 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes $900,000 to construct this water line over FY 2013 and FY 2014. Depending on the timing of construction by Washington County, appropriations may need to be carried forward from FY 2013 to FY 2014. This dollar amount will be sufficient to fund the city's share of the project, including staff time to manage the city's interest in the project.

KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY Arbor Day J. Sterling Morton first proposed a tree planting holiday, Arbor Day, which was celebrated on April 10, 1872, in Nebraska. Today, many communities across the nation celebrate trees on Arbor Day. The state of Oregon declares an entire week as Arbor Week, instead of a single day. Here in Tigard, there are many ways for residents and business owners to get involved and help the city celebrate Arbor Day. Events are planned all month long. Highlights include: • Tree Talk: Tigard's Updated Urban Forestry Code Monday, April 1 I 7 -8:30 p.m. I Tigard Public Library Community Room • Tree Talk: Growing Fruit Trees Friday, April 5 I 7 -8:30 p.m. I Tigard Public Library Community Room • SOLV -IT Ivy Pull and Fern Planting Saturday, April 20 I 9 a.m. -1 p.m. A list of additional activities and ways to celebrate Arbor Day are available at www.tigard- or.gov /arborday.

Public Hearing: No Publication Date: Information ISSUE Staff and consultants will brief council on the status of the Goal 10 Population and Housing Review in advance of a public hearing in May. STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST Receive briefing on the Goal 10 Population and Housing Review. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY Tigard has been awarded a Periodic Review grant by the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) to complete the Tigard Goal 10 Population and Housing Review. Oregon's Statewide Planning Goal 10: Housing is to, "To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state." The guidelines for Goal 10 require the city to look at: • Buildable lands inventory; • Comparison of the distribution of the existing population by income with the distribution of available housing units by cost; • Determination of vacancy rates, both overall and at varying rent ranges and cost levels; • Determination of expected housing demand at varying rent ranges and cost levels; and • Allowance for a variety of densities and types of residences in each community. The Tigard Goal 10 Population and Housing Review analyzed the city's compliance with these and several other state and regional policies related to housing. Driven by a combined Citizens Advisory Committee /Technical Advisory Committee, the purpose of this project is to assist the city in meeting community aspirations for growth, as outlined in the comprehensive plan, while complying with state housing goals and requirements. The result of this effort is the Tigard Housing Strategies Report and updates to the city's Comprehensive Plan and Development Code. dd OTHER ALTERNATIVES COUNCIL GOALS, POLICIES, APPROVED MASTER PLANS DATES OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION 10/16/2012 Attachments 4 -16 -13 CC Goal 10 Workshop Memo 4 -16 -13 CC Goal 10 Workshop Memo ATTACH 1 4 -16 -13 CC Goal 10 Workshop Memo ATTACH 2 4 -16 -13 CC Goal 10 Workshop Memo ATTACH 3 4-16-11 CC Gnel 111 \X/nrlrehnn Mrmn ATTACH 4 ' City of Tigard T,GARp Memorandum To: Mayor Cook and Tigard City Council From: Marissa Daniels, Associate Planner Re: Tigard Population and Housing Review Workshop Date: April 16, 2013 The City of Tigard is now in the final stages of completing a Population and Housing Review. On April 16, 2013 city staff and consultants will present an update and overview of project findings.

In preparation for your public hearing, we've also provided you with a copy of the proposed Comprehensive Plan and Development Code amendments which will be reviewed by Planning Commission on April 15. Project Overview The purpose of the Population and Housing Review is to assist the city in meeting community aspirations for growth, as outlined in the comprehensive plan, while complying with state housing goals and requirements. The project looks at population projections and demographic trends along with the amount and location of available land. The end result is a list of potential strategies to meet the city's future demand for housing that implement the city's aspirations and state requirements. The project also provides a qualitative analysis of trends and market preferences in regards to an aging population and potential recovery from the recent housing downturn. Strategies that respond to the opportunities presented by potential high capacity transit, redevelopment of downtown Tigard, and the future development of the recently annexed River Terrace are included. Housing Strategies Report This report summarizes a variety of local housing issues and strategies recommended to address them (Attachment 1). It builds on a comprehensive study of the local housing market and future trends and an in -depth review of current local, regional, state and federal housing requirements, goals and initiatives. It was prepared in coordination with a combined CAC /TAC for this project. The report includes: • A summary of key housing conditions and local trends • A list of recommended updates to the city's Comprehensive Plan and Development Code • A list of future potential strategies related to topics like intergovernmental coordination and advocacy, information sharing, and future planning for new residential development • An Action Plan that includes proposed activities, timelines and roles for implementing each one. Updates to the Comprehensive Plan Goal 10: Housing The Housing chapter of the City's Comprehensive Plan was updated relatively recently (2008) and much of the language remains relevant, including the majority of the Plan's goals, policies and recommended action measures. However, a number of changes to the Plan are proposed, consistent with the results of the Housing and Population Study and recommendations and information found in reports prepared for the city's Population and Housing Review (Attachment 2). In general, the narrative portion of the chapter has been updated to reflect current conditions such as the annexation of the River Terrace area to the city. The Key Findings section of the chapter is proposed to be replaced with data from the population and housing needs assessment prepared for the city as part of this project. Several relatively small updates to the Goals, Policies and Action Measures are proposed. For example, adding "at a range of price levels" to the city's first goal statement: 10.1 Provide opportunities for a variety of housing types at a range of price levels to meet the diverse housing needs of current and future City residents. Goal 2: Land Use Planning Tigard Periodic Review Task 6: Population Forecast and Coordination with Metro Oregon land use law (ORS 195.036; 195.025) requires Metro to coordinate its regional population forecasts with local governments inside the UGB for use in updating their comprehensive plans, land use regulations and related policies. On additional policy is proposed for adoption (Attachment 3): 25. The City shall use the most recently adopted Metro population and employment forecast, as allocated to Tigard, for planning purposes. Updates to the Development Code To ensure the city is in compliance with state regulations which require, "clear and objective standards, conditions and procedures regulating the development of needed housing" changes to the Site Development Review (SDR) approval criteria are being proposed. These approval criteria apply to. a wide range of development types within the City (e.g., commercial, industrial, etc.), including housing. While most of the SDR approval criteria appear to be clear and objective, some do appear to allow for more discretion. This code update clarifies that housing is exempt from meeting these more discretionary criteria (Attachment 4). The Housing Strategies Report recommends additional Development Code amendments to further the city's vision for future housing. These amendments are included as part of an Action Plan and will be addressed as part of CD's future work program. Periodic Review Tigard has been awarded a Periodic Review grant by the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) to complete this Review. Every five to seven years, cities and counties are required to evaluate their comprehensive plans and land use regulations through a process called "Periodic Review" (ORS 197.628 -644 and OAR 660, Division 25). This process ensures Tigard's Comprehensive Plan and land use regulations are consistent with Oregon law and continue to provide for the growth management and development needs of the community. Tigard has been engaged in a periodic review process for two years, and the Population and Housing Review is part of this process.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 42 City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 1. Introduction and Overview Having affordable, quality housing in safe neighborhoods with access to needed community and other services is essential for all Oregonians. Like other cities in Oregon, the City of Tigard is responsible for helping to ensure that its residents have access to a variety of housing types that meet households and residents of all incomes, ages and specific housing needs. As part of the process of periodically updating its Comprehensive Plan, the City is evaluating the housing needs of its citizens and identifying strategies that the City and others can implement to achieve them. Some of the City's specific housing goals include: • Go beyond minimum state and regional requirements and develop housing strategies that respond to the opportunities presented by a variety of community assets and opportunities, including potential high capacity transit stations, redevelopment of downtown Tigard, and future development of the recently annexed River Terrace area. • Create opportunities to meet the aspirations that have been developed during the Metro region's Making the Greatest Places process. • Respond to current and evolving housing market conditions and trends • Address the needs of an aging population and potential recovery from the recent housing downturn • Maintain a high level of residential livability • Support housing affordability, special -needs housing, ownership opportunities, and housing rehabilitation • Promote innovative, well- designed, and sustainable housing developments This report summarizes a variety of local housing issues and strategies recommended to address them. It builds on a comprehensive study of the local housing market and future trends and an in -depth review of current local, regional, state and federal housing requirements, goals and initiatives. It was prepared in coordination with an advisory committee of City of Tigard staff, Planning Commissioners and citizens, as well as representatives of Washington County, Metro, the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, the Oregon Homebuilders Association and the Washington County Community Housing Fund. The work has been funded by a grant from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development as part of its Periodic Review grant program. Section 2 of the Report summarizes key housing conditions and future trends to provide context for the strategies that follow. Section 3 briefly reviews recommendations for updates to the City's Comprehensive Plan which are described in more detail in a companion "Goal 10 Housing Report." Sections 4 through 7 outline additional strategies related to the following types of initiatives: • Recommended amendments to the City's Development Code • Future planning for new residential development and redevelopment • Information sharing with housing developers and other community partners • Intergovernmental coordination and advocacy • Administrative and funding tools City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A PG page 2 Key strategies include: • Update the Comprehensive Plan to briefly describe existing housing conditions and past and historic trends, as well as to include new or revised housing goals, policies and action items that reflect the results of this planning effort. • Update the City's Development Code to include provisions for "cottage clusters" and "live- work" housing units; enhance provisions and standards related to accessory dwelling units and single family attached housing; refine parking requirements for senior and affordable housing developments in existing or future high capacity transit areas; and provide for density or height bonuses to promote affordable housing in selected areas. • Implement a variety of zoning, design and market -based strategies to promote development of a range of housing types in newly developing or future mixed use areas, including River Terrace, the Tigard Triangle, Washington Square, Downtown and other potential future high capacity transit corridors or centers. • As part of various planning, development and permitting processes, provide information from other sources to housing developers, home builders, and landlords regarding fair housing goals and requirements, as well as design practices that help ensure accessibility for people with physical or mobility limitations, including older residents. • Continue to coordinate with and support Washington County, as well as local non - profit groups and other housing developers or providers, particularly those that provide affordable or special needs housing. Assist with siting and permitting efforts and generally support residential development projects that further the City's housing goals and objectives and meet the City's planning and zoning requirements. • City staff should continue to address housing goals and implement housing strategies in a consistent and coordinated manner, with a common understanding of the goals, priorities and approaches identified in this report. • Continue to provide a certain level of funding to support affordable and special needs housing projects, including maintaining existing programs and considering additional strategies, as resources allow in the future. More specific recommended actions are described in the following section. Section 8 of the Report summarizes specific recommended strategies in an Action Plan that includes proposed activities, timelines and roles for implementing each one. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A F G page 3 2. Housing Conditions and Trends Tigard has a current population of approximately 48,000 people. As of the 2010 Census, it was the fifth largest city by population in the Portland metro area (excluding Vancouver, Washington). It represents 3% of the total population within the three primary metro counties and is the 13th largest city in Oregon. Between 2000 and 2010, Tigard grew by 6,857 people, or 17 %. This is somewhat slower than the Washington County growth of 19% during that period, but greater than the state of Oregon's growth of 12 %. Tigard experienced slower percentage growth than the two largest Washington County cities of Hillsboro and Beaverton (31% and 18% respectively). The percentage of families was basically unchanged between 2000 and 2010 at 65% of all households. This is very similar to the Metro area figure of 63.5% family households, and Washington County's 66.8 %. At just over $59,000 in 2010, Tigard's median household income 11% higher than the Portland /Vancouver metro area median, but was 10% lower than the countywide median. However, the average (mean) income in Tigard of over $79,000 is actually higher than the countywide average of $75,821. This indicates that there are a larger proportion of high income households which pull the average higher. The number of households at the lower end of the income spectrum has fallen since 2000, which mostly reflects general wage inflation. 16% of households earn $25k or less, down from 20% of households in 2000. The poverty rate is higher than average among females (9.9 %) and those under 18 years of age (8.7 %). This is likely reflective of the heightened poverty rate among young single mothers, which mirrors national trends. Changing demographic trends that are likely to affect future housing needs in Tigard include the following: • As a first -tier suburb in the Portland metro area, the City of Tigard will continue to benefit from the general trend of migration to urban areas. The metro area as a whole can expect continued growth, with different suburbs filling different niches in terms of housing affordability, lifestyle amenities, and employment opportunities. Tigard can continue to prioritize bringing some of the benefits of a more urban environment to the city, through the long -term redevelopment of the Downtown area, possible addition of light rail service, and development of additional town center or station areas. • Over the coming 20 years, the baby boom generation will remain healthier and more independent for longer than their parents, meaning that the transition to retirement communities will be postponed or never undertaken. The youngest in this generation will just be reaching the traditional retirement age in 20 years. A subset of the baby boom generation will be interested in opportunities to live in well - planned and safe mixed -use communities in the future. The demand from older households for multi- family housing opportunities in town centers should be significant enough to be addressed, but should not be overstated. Also, older seniors may prefer or require single -level housing. • It is generally believed that while a significant percentage of the millennial generation (people born between the 1980s and 2000) claim to prefer the urban core, they truly mean the center of a larger city (in this case central Portland), rather than a suburban environment. However, the eventual impacts of affordability and life -stage decisions are likely to cause some significant share of this generation to City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A page 4 either never move into the urban core, or move back out at some point. Tigard, like many suburban cities, can plan ahead for this generation by creating mixed -use town centers and station centers which will provide some urban amenities. Transit options and opportunities to walk and bike will also be attractive. For all of their differences, good schools and a safe environment will appeal to millennial households just as much as to preceding generations. • The percentage of immigrants in Tigard has increased somewhat but not dramatically since 2000. The main impact of ethnic minorities and immigrant groups in Tigard and other suburbs will be continuing demand for low -to- moderate cost housing options, and the type of larger housing units already found in most suburbs. As long as the policies and land inventory allow for the production of multi - family units, it will be possible to meet the rental need for immigrants and other populations. Demand for for -sale housing will largely be met by older existing housing units, rather than new housing. It is likely that immigrant households and first - generation American households will provide a key source of demand for suburban boomer housing A comparison between current housing supply and needs indicates the following: • In general, there is a need for some less expensive ownership units and rental units. This is not uncommon as the lowest income households struggle to find housing of any type that keeps costs at 30% of gross income. • Among prospective ownership households, there is a solid supply of mid - priced housing between $170k and $240k, as well as upper- mid - priced housing of $370k to $550k. This analysis estimates the need for more for -sale housing in between these ranges, and at the upper end of the market. • There is a general need for rental units at the lower and middle price levels. There are levels of estimated surplus for apartments ($620 to $1060 per month), and for single family homes for rent ($1770 - $3,530). These bands represent the average rent prices in Tigard, where most units can be expected to congregate. • Overall, there is a total surplus of 270 ownership units, and a current surplus of rental units of 631. This is an estimate based on a model of general preferences of households in different age and income cohorts to either own or rent. • There are an estimated 901 units more than the current number of households, reflecting the current estimated vacancy rate of 4.4 %. In considering future housing needs and the projected supply of land available to meet them in Tigard, this study found the following: • There will be a need for over 6,500 new housing units by 2030, with a stronger emphasis on new ownership units. This total need includes the West Bull Mountain area. • Of the new units needed, 76% are projected to be ownership units, while 24% are projected to be rental units. This is because analysis of the current supply finds a greater vacancy of rental units (Figure 7). Therefore, to rebalance the supply with the projected future need profile, more new ownership units will be needed than rental units, while the current surplus of rental units needs to be absorbed. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A Y 1 page 5 • Of the new units needed, the largest share (53 %) is projected to be single family detached homes, due again to the stronger need for new ownership housing. The remainder of units (47 %) is projected to be some form of attached housing. • Single family attached units are projected to meet nearly 20% of future need. • Duplex through four -plex units are projected to represent over 8% of the total need. • 18% of all needed units are projected to be multi - family in structures of 5+ attached units. • Less than 1% of new needed units are projected to be manufactured home units in manufactured home parks, which meet the needs of some low- income households for both ownership and rental. Manufactured home units in manufactured home parks are projected to make up a small share of future demand. Tigard has two large manufactured home parks, both of which are fully occupied. It is projected here that there will on -going demand for manufactured home units (36 units) in keeping roughly with the current share of mobile home units in the community. • The projected preferences for future unit types are based upon historically permitted units since 1980, cross referenced with the profile of currently available buildable lands, and how that will shape future inventory. It is projected that in coming decades a greater share of housing will be attached types, including attached single family. • There is an adequate supply of land within Tigard zoned appropriately to meet future housing needs and comply with state and regional housing requirements and goals. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A P page 6 3. Recommended Comprehensive Plan Amendments Tigard is required to update its Comprehensive Plan to reflect an analysis of existing and future housing needs. In doing so, it must comply with a variety of state and regional requirements, some of which will necessitate amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation CP1: Update the Comprehensive Plan to briefly describe existing housing conditions and past and historic trends, as well as to include new or revised housing goals, policies and action items that reflect the results of the current planning process. Details and Actions This Report has been prepared in part to support the process of updating Tigard's Comprehensive Plan. Statewide Housing Goal 10 states that: "Buildable lands for residential use shall be inventoried and plans shall encourage the availability of adequate numbers of needed housing units at price ranges and rent levels which are commensurate with the financial capabilities of Oregon households and allow for flexibility of housing location, type and density." To achieve this goal, cities and counties in Oregon are required to plan for future housing needs by undertaking the following efforts. • Assess current and future housing conditions and needs, including the need for housing of different types and in different price ranges • Ensure that the City has an adequate supply of land zoned for residential use to meet future land needs • Adopt Comprehensive Plan policies and Development Code provisions that support future housing needs, meet state and regional requirements and guidelines and address specific local housing goals and objectives The Housing element of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2008. To ensure compliance with state requirements, it will need to be updated to reflect the results of the housing needs analysis recently conducted as part of this planning effort. Amendments are expected to entail the following. a. Revised narrative and findings. The existing Comprehensive Plan includes an opening narrative and a "Findings" section that briefly summarizes existing housing and population conditions and previous and projected future trends. It is recommended that this section of the Comprehensive Plan remain relatively brief and focus on the same types of information currently addressed in the Plan. However, specific information related to the following topics should be updated: • Economic and demographic conditions and trends • Need for housing overall and for specific types of housing units • Land and zoning designations associated with housing needs City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 PG PG page 7 b. New or revised goals, policies and action measures. The existing Comprehensive Plan includes a very well- rounded set of goals, policies and action measure intended to help the City meet the future housing needs of its residents. In general, this section of the Comp Plan is already supportive of and consistent with the housing issues and needs evaluated during this planning effort. However, several additional policies and action measures have been identified for inclusion in an updated Comprehensive Plan. They generally relate to the following: • Explicit restatement of statewide Goal 10 • Support for Fair Housing Act • References to additional housing types and needs As noted above, information proposed to be included in the Comprehensive Plan is described in detail in the Goal 10 Housing Report which will be included as an appendix to this document when completed. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A FIG page 8 4. Recommended Code Amendments One of the primary ways in which a city can help ensure that residents have access to a variety of housing types at different price ranges is through the preparation and administration of their development code. Development codes or zoning ordinances set the stage for what types of housing can be built in which parts of the community and under what conditions. They also typically govern the design of new housing and how housing relates to other land uses and services. While the City has a limited ability to affect the ultimate cost of housing, standards related to lot sizes, architectural design features, parking and other aspects of housing can affect housing prices. This report addresses a number of different issues associated with Tigard Community Development Code (TCDC) and recommends a variety of strategies for addressing future housing needs. Strategies are intended to ensure access to a variety of housing types, including emerging or non - traditional housing types, to maintain and improve residential livability, and to promote innovative, well- designed, and sustainable housing and to encourage construction of needed or desired housing types in specific locations. New Housing Type — Cottage Cluster The cottage cluster housing type can be an economical way to provide additional housing choices, including renter or owner occupied housing that meets the needs of people with moderate incomes and /or first -time homebuyers. It also can be constructed on infill sites and designed and built to ensure compatibility with surrounding housing and residential neighborhoods. While this type of housing can be built under existing requirements (e.g., planned development and subdivision or multifamily), new or revised standard that are unique to cottage clusters will make it easier to site and construct them and will expand opportunities for different types of housing Tigard. Recommendation CAl: Update the TCDC to add a new code section specific to cottage clusters. Preserve large trees Range or te+.tnres ' , 4'91.9. PeS 1I1 rn3terIaI r wherever t■ossdde and colors .

Sluared open space N.N sreivd open > Examples of Cottage Clusters City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A pG page 9 Details and Actions: Cottage housing developments or "cottage clusters" consist of small houses, each usually with less than 1,000 square feet of floor area, oriented around a common open space area and with shared parking, and often with other common amenities. Depending on the cottage cluster development, cottages might be owned fee simple (each on its own lot) or as part of a condominium plat where the land is owned in common but the buildings are individually owned. Typically the open space and parking areas are owned and maintained in common. This housing type may be more likely to be developed in Tigard if the TCDC were amended to address its unique attributes as described in more detail below. Typical Standards for Cottage Clusters Purpose. This section should outline the intent of providing standards for cottage housing development as an alternative housing choice in order to encourage creation of usable common open space in residential communities; promote neighborhood interaction and safety through design; ensure compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods; and provide opportunities for creative infill development. Applicability. This section should explain when and where cottages are allowed. Site requirements. This section should establish the minimum and maximum number of cottages per development, density bonuses, lot coverage, as well as the minimum starting lot size, if any. Setbacks and the relationship of the buildings to public streets and open space need to be addressed in a manner which recognizes that cottage cluster developments may not have interior lot lines. Building requirements. This section should establish the maximum size for each cottage (e.g., building footprint and /or square footage, height), whether attached units are permissible, any specific rules about porches, Example - Site requirements for a cottage development detached garages, or fences, and whether existing dwelling(s) on a site can be retained. one p"o' a space per dvrelh pies pl Special architectural design requirements may one additional f P 9 p Y spare per every lour units be appropriate here as well (e.g., materials and - - - -� - i inte:,rr ants Sparer I min. 10' apart design details).

Common open space dweii ngs City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft - February, 2013 PG t 'v page 10 is a defining characteristic of a cottage housing development. This section should establish the minimum amount and dimensions of common open space to be provided as well as whether constrained lands (e.g., wetlands) can be included. If any specific landscaping requirements Private open space for each unit may be required as well. Ownership options. The code should allow ownership to be fee simple lots with a homeowner's association holding common areas, or condominium ownership of the whole development. Project advisory committee members supported these recommendations, noting that allowing for a variety of housing options, including cottage cluster housing will meet city, regional and statewide goals of providing for a range of housing types for people with different income levels and housing needs. New Housing Types — Live /Work Units Live /work units (especially live /work apartments or townhouses) are an emerging housing type. They can provide flexibility by combining residential and commercial uses, and can allow residential uses on the ground floor until the market is ready to support retail in these spaces. Live /work development could be considered in Tigard's commercial districts (C -C, C -G, and C -P), which currently only allow residential uses: 1) conditionally as group or transitional housing (C -G zone); 2) outright as mixed uses with commercial on the second floor or above; or 3) as multi - family housing subject to PD regulations. Live /work could expand the flexibility of residential and commercial uses in these zones, effectively increasing the residential capacity and meeting other housing and land use goals in the City's mixed -use zones. Recommendation CA2: Update the Development Code to add code provisions specific to live /work apartments or townhouses in the C -C, C -G, and C -P zones. Details and Actions: Live /work units are dwelling in which a business may be operated on the ground floor. They are similar to a home occupation except that because they are in commercial or mixed use zones, they typically have greater allowances for commercial area, visibility, signage, and access from the primary street. In order to better enable live /work apartments or townhouses, these housing types should be defined and special standards adopted that recognize their unique attributes. Typical Standards for Live /Work Units Definitions. Live /work Townhome A residential, fee simple townhome unit in which a business may be operated. The commercial or office portion of the building shall be limited to the ground floor and may not exceed 50 percent of the square footage of the entire building, excluding the garage. Live /work Apartment: A primarily residential multi- story, multi -unit building with a maximum of 50 percent of the building ground floor square footage used as commercial or office space. Residential units may be for rent or for sale in condominium or cooperative ownership. Standards. Standards for live /work units typically address primary street frontage, off - street parking, signs, and special standards including noise, storage, public access, and hours of operation. Live /work provisions from other jurisdictions more specifically regulate the City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 PG rG page 11 commercial uses in live /work units, open space requirements, and conversion to and conversion of live /work units depending on zoning district. Project advisory committee members supported these recommendations, noting that allowing for live /work units will help meet goals for residential and mixed use development in a number of neighborhoods where more housing is needed or desired.

The medium - density R -7 zone permits duplexes outright; however, there is no incentive to build them — both detached single family dwellings and duplexes require 5,000 sf per unit. Within the R -4.5 zone duplexes are only allowed conditionally; however, the code provides an incentive for their City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A page 12 construction; a duplex is permitted on a 10,000 sf lot, but two single family detached houses would require 15,000 sf. A comparable incentive in the R -7 zone would mean a minimum lot size of 7,000 to 7,500 sf for duplexes. This change could be made for all lots or only on corner lots. The added benefit of encouraging duplexes on corner lots is that it can help solve the issue of fenced side yards adjacent to the sidewalk. Recommendation CA3: Reduce the minimum lot size for duplexes in the R - 7 zone from 10,000 sf to 7,500 sf. Details and Actions: Amendments to the following code sections would be needed to implement this recommendation: • Amend Section 18.510.020 (List of Zoning Districts), subsection E (R -7: Medium - Density Residential District) to change the description of the minimum lot sizes for duplexes. • Amend Table 18.510.2 Development Standards in Residential Zones to change the minimum lot size for duplexes. If the lot size reduction is limited to corner lots, then an additional footnote would need to be added to the table explaining that distinction. • Duplex lots would need to be designated on the plat in order to ensure compliance with minimum density requirements. - B "4 , -41111111111110111w IIMINIEMME Example of a duplex on a corner lot Project advisory group members generally supported this recommendation. However, they noted that if duplexes were to make up a significant portion of housing in single - family zones, it could affect the overall character and density of existing neighborhoods and that decision- makers should be aware of that issue. Single Family Attached Housing Standards The Housing and Population Study identifies a growing need for single - family attached housing, with that housing type projected to account for approximately 20 percent of future new housing units, with construction anticipated in medium density residential and mixed use zones. New single - family attached housing is permitted in the R -7 through R -40 residential zones and in the MU -031) zone. It is also allowed within the R -4.5 zone, but only as part of a planned development. Currently, single - family attached housing is subject to site plan development review (TCDC 18.360.090). The TCDC does include some standards for single - family attached City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 AA PG page 13 housing which apply in specific circumstances locations (e.g., TCDC 18.720 which applies in R -4.5 to R -40 zones, when abutting "property zoned for single - family residential development" and TCDC 18.610.030 which applies in Downtown). However, the review process for single - family attached housing needs to consider specific issues related to the creation of narrow lots that are laid out with a particular building design in mind as well as scale and design. Recommendation CA4: Adopt single - family attached housing standards as special development standards for use citywide. Details and Actions: As noted above, because of the unique nature of single - family attached housing, it would benefit from special development standards intended to control development scale; avoid or minimize impacts associated with traffic, parking, and design compatibility; and ensure management and maintenance of common areas. Typical Standards for Attached Single - Family Housing Lot requirements (that apply to the subdivision) a. Some flexibility in lot width may be appropriate to allow narrower interior lots and wider exterior lots (esp. where necessary to meet special setbacks). b. The need for alley access to minimize curb cuts c. Requirements for common areas and shared maintenance of the building Building requirement. Design standards that ensure entry visibility and minimize garage frontages and neighborhood compatibility (esp. in lower density zones facades should include porches, projecting eaves and overhangs, and other traditional architectural elements that provide residential scale and help break up building mass). Concurrent review. The code should require concurrent review of the building design to ensure that the structures to be built on the lots can meet both the lot and building requirements. Residential Infill Requirements or Revisions to PUD Standards While the City's existing PD standards provide flexibility for residential development and work well for larger scale developments, the process may not be appropriate for small scale infill projects. One option would be to amend the PD standards; however, adopting cottage development standards as recommended above could potentially address this issue more effectively. This could help reduce barriers to and provide more options for infill residential development while also generally preserving the character of single - family residential neighborhoods. Recommendation CA5: Retain existing PD standards and consider adopting separate cottage housing provisions to address small scale projects Details and Actions: See cottage development recommendations above. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A pG page 14 Accessory Dwelling Units By providing small scale housing in single family neighborhoods, accessory dwelling units provide a unique housing opportunity, particularly for aging residents and smaller households, whose housing needs are highlighted in the analysis for this study. While ADUs are an appropriate housing type for residential areas throughout the city, they can be particularly important in areas with good access to transit and services for aging residents or those who choose not to own a car. The City's current standards for Accessory Residential [Dwelling] Units (ADUs) may limit the development of ADUs by restricting certain designs, requiring additional parking, and limiting the size of the unit in relation to the primary dwelling. In addition to encouraging ADUs through changes to the TCDC, some jurisdictions reduce or waive System Development Charges (SDCs) for ADUs. While it may be beneficial to encourage ADUs, additional standards that help ensure neighborhood compatibility also may be helpful to avoid opposition from residents in established neighborhoods. Recommendation CA6: Amend TCDC 18.710.020 to allow more opportunities for ADUs as well as additional standards to address neighborhood compatibility. in addition, consider waiving or reducing system development charges (SDCs) for ADUs. acceory favveIling urn e lot Ilse 5000 Number d Units 2(npuOnBrain ,srv'... tesklen16 andAaU} DaaMigUnlfr/Aore 16 ,4\0 ''''-;, l; -44kel - I - I . s '' § °°4 0 44\ \ . , . :,,, _ Y r f jJ d �' ' n ✓,.!

Preliminary draft amendments to 18.710.020(B) Accessory Residential Units. as part of the primary structure; Building materials and facade features of the accessory residential unit shall be similar to the primary unit; 2. An accessory residential unit may not be larger than exceed 50% of the size of the primary unit, up 800 square feet; 3. The number of residents permitted to inhabit the accessory residential unit is regulated by the State Building Code; 4. Either the primary or accessory residential unit must be owner - occupied; 5. A primary residence in which an accessory residential unit has been created may have only one home occupation; space shall be paved and /or covered; Screening or buffering between the accessory residential unit and housina on an adjacent lot may be required to address concerns about privac ; 7. The front door of the accessory residential unit shall not be located on the front facade of the primary unit unless the door is already existing; 8. There shall be compliance with all development standards established in the base zone. If the City considers reducing parking requirements for ADUs as shown in the amendments above, it may want to focus those changes in areas with frequent transit services and access to commercial or other services that reduce the need for residents to own a car. This topic in particular will require careful consideration and conversation with decision - makers and other community members given concerns frequently raised about parking issues in residential and mixed use neighborhoods, as noted by project advisory committee members. Finally, as noted above, the City may want to consider waiving or reducing system development charges associated with ADUs given that they must be developed in combination with an existing primary dwelling that may already have paid an SDC, they typically use fewer resources in comparison to primary dwellings, and they do not represent the development of any new land or neighborhoods. The City of Portland has recently seen a City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 AA r v page 16 increase in the development of ADUs and developers and affordable housing advocates attribute this in part to the city's recent decision to waive SDCs for ADUs there. Parking Requirements Off - street parking requirements and the way in which they are calculated can have an impact on the cost of housing and ability to develop it in certain areas, reducing the cost of housing and allowing for construction of housing that meets the needs of households with lower or moderate incomes. In addition, parking needs can vary in different parts of the community with the potential for less parking needed for certain types of uses and lower parking demand in pedestrian- oriented areas with better access to frequent transit services. Reducing parking requirements for developments that may require less parking can also serve as a potential incentive to encourage desired types of development. Recommendation CA7: Consider revising parking standards to allow for the following, either on a citywide basis or in areas with existing or planned future high capacity or other frequent transit service: • On- street parking credits • Reduced or simplified parking space requirements for affordable, senior and /or other housing projects Details and Actions: On street Parking Credits Currently, the TCDC explicitly prohibits counting on- street parking as part of required minimum parking (TCDC 18.765.070. D.1). The Model Code (Section 3.3.300.C) recommends crediting on- street parking if that parking is located on the street adjacent to the development and that the parking is for public use (not restricted to the development's use) and is not planned or needed for adjacent commercial or retail uses. It is recommended that the City consider adopting a similar provision. This provides a relatively modest parking credit but it can reduce development costs, particularly for developments which incorporate structured or garage parking for housing. The City could consider adopting this provision city -wide but it may be more appropriate to consider this change only in areas with frequent transit service or in mixed use areas with good access to public facilities and services and shopping areas. Parking Space Requirements for Residential Uses City parking standards current vary by residential development type, with higher parking standards for multi- family housing and group housing, with 1.00 spaces required for multi - family housing units of less than 500 square feet in size, 1.75 spaces required for multi - family units with three or more bedrooms, and one space per bedroom required for group living (Table 18.765.2). Scaling back parking requirements, particularly for senior or affordable housing projects, would help reduce development costs for these types of housing and would be in line with standards recommended in Oregon's Model Development Code. As with the strategy above, it may be more appropriate to consider these changes only in areas with frequent transit service or in mixed use areas 1 Only one space per multi - family housing unit is required in the MU -CBD zone (Downtown). City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 r� - ` page 17 with good access to public facilities and services and shopping areas (similar to existing provisions in the Downtown area). TCDC 18.360.080 (Exceptions to Standards) already provides for an exception or reduction in the amount of off- street parking required in certain situations. However, including some standard reductions in Table 18.765.2 (Minimum and Maximum Required Off - Street Vehicle and Bicycle Parking Requirements), rather than requiring the applicant to request an exception, might serve to encourage senior housing by reducing the inherent risk in discretionary review. B. Exceptions to parking requirements. The Director may grant an exception or deduction to the off - street parking dimensional and minimum number of space requirements in the applicable zoning district based on the following findings: 1. The application is for a use designed for a specific purpose which is intended to be permanent in nature, e.g., senior citizen housing, and which has a demonstrated low demand for off - street parking; 2. There is an opportunity for shared parking and there is written evidence that the property owners have entered into a binding agreement to share parking; or 3. There is community interest in the preservation of particular natural feature(s) on the site, public transportation is available to the site, and reducing the standards will not adversely affect adjoining uses, therefore the public interest is not adversely affected by the granting of the exception. C. Exceptions for private or shared In considering the above recommendations related to parking requirements, it will be important to provide opportunities for community conversation about them. Relaxing or reducing parking requirements often generates concern among residents in affected neighborhoods who expect potential adverse impacts on the supply of parking and the related need to walk or drive longer distances to access their homes or other nearby destinations. Project advisory committee members noted these concerns and suggested that lower parking requirements may be most appropriate in neighborhoods planned or zoned for high capacity transit service or a concentration or nearby services and amenities within easy walking distance where the incidence of car ownership is lower. Clear and Objective Standards for Needed Housing ORS 197.307 states that: (4) Except as provided in subsection (6) of this section, a local government may adopt and apply only clear and objective standards, conditions and procedures regulating the development of needed housing on buildable land described in subsection (3) of this section. The standards, conditions and procedures may not have the effect, either in themselves or cumulatively, of discouraging needed housing through unreasonable cost or delay. The development standards in TCDC 18.510.050 that apply within the residential zoning districts appear to be clear and objective. However, all new residential development except for single - family detached units and duplexes is also subject to Site Development Review (SDR). SDR applications are processed as a Type II procedure using the approval criteria contained in TCDC 18.360.090. The SDR approval criteria address the relationship between the built and physical environment, building facade features, private and shared space, City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 PG r page 18 and transit access and amenities. In addition to needed housing, these approval criteria apply to a wide range of development types within the City (e.g., commercial, industrial, etc.) that are not subject to the requirement for clear and objective standards. Recommendation CA8: Review the Site Development Review approval criteria contained in TCDC 18.360.090; for those criteria that are not clear and objective, confirm that the issue is sufficiently addressed by other code standards; and, exempt needed housing (or residential development generally) from those criteria that are not clear and objective. While most of the SDR approval criteria appear to be clear and objective, some do appear to allow for more discretion. For example, criterion #4 (Buffering, screening and compatibility between adjoining uses) requires buffering between different types of land uses, for example, between single - family and multiple - family residential, and residential and commercial uses. However, what constitutes an "adequate" buffer is determined from considering a list of relatively subjective factors. Similarly, some of the specific language (e.g., subsections (a) and (b)) under criterion #10 (Crime prevention and safety) also may not represent clear and objective standards. For residential uses, in some cases the existing standards (e.g., setbacks, landscaping and other standards in TDC 18.510, as well as standards for streets and utilities in TDC 18.810) may be sufficient to address the issue without the additional level of discretion provided by the approval criteria. In cases where the existing standards are not sufficient, the criteria could be reworked and relocated to a new section with development standards for attached and multi - family housing (NOTE: new code section could be included in 18.700 Specific Development Standards or in 18.510 Residential Zoning Districts). SDR approval criterion #1 already requires compliance with all of the applicable requirements of this title. Thus, for needed housing, the approval criteria could be simplified to require compliance with the code standards per approval criteria #1 without necessarily having an adverse impact on the quality of development. Some examples of how this might be implemented are outlined below: • Criterion #3 (Exterior Elevations) – While this criterion is clear and objective, it is also a design standard for single - family attached and multiple - family structures that might be better relocated to a new section with development standards for attached and multi - family housing (NOTE: new code section could be included in 18.700 Specific Development Standards or in 18.510 Residential Zoning Districts). • Criterion #4 (Buffering) – As noted previously, this criterion is may be too discretionary to be used for needed housing. A more quantitative buffering standards could be included with the standards for single - family attached and multiple - family structures, identifying depth, planting materials and density /height. There are good examples in other jurisdictions where buffering requirements have been quantified. • Criterion #5 (Privacy and noise — Multifamily or group living uses) – Similar to Criterion #4, this criterion could be rewritten as a clear and objective standard and relocated to the standards for single - family attached and multiple - family structures. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 PG PG page 19 • Criterion #6 (Private outdoor area — Multifamily use) and Criterion #7 (Shared outdoor recreation areas — Multifamily use) – Similar to Criterion #3, these criteria already function as standards and should be relocated to the standards for single - family attached and multiple - family structures. • Criterion #8 - This criterion establishes a requirement for developments located adjacent to the 100 year floodplain. As written the criterion is somewhat subjective and potentially ineffectual as it simply requires "consideration" of a greenway dedication suitable for a pedestrian /bicycle pathway. Rewriting this criterion to include a reference to compliance with an adopted pedestrian /bicycle plan would help clarify and strengthen the requirement. • Criterion #9 and #10 – These criteria address crime prevention. While they provide good guidance for residential and non - residential developments, they are potentially too discretionary for needed housing. They could potentially be rewritten as standards, but it might be more practical to treat them as guidelines for needed housing. • Criterion #12 (Landscaping) –This criterion contains landscaping standards that might be better located in Section 18.745 (Landscaping and Screening). In addition, Criteria #12.b and c require specific amounts of landscaping (20% for parking areas and 15% over all) which do not reflect differences between residential, commercial, office or industrial uses. Density or Height Bonuses Encouraging the development of affordable housing by offering density and /or height bonuses can work in areas where demand is constrained by zoning requirements. It also can potentially act as an incentive to building specific types of housing needed or desired in specific areas. Residential developers in Tigard appear to find the standard height and density requirements adequate to build their projects. Currently, there seems to be little or no demand for height and /or density bonuses, and in some zones achieving the minimum densities may actually be more of a concern to developers than exceeding the maximums. Project advisory committee members noted that while the current market conditions don't suggest a significant demand for density or height bonuses, there may be some types of projects that would benefit and changing demographics could lead to further interest in these incentives in the future. Recommendation CA9: Adopt density and height bonuses as incentives for affordable housing. Details and Actions: Height and density bonuses for the provision of affordable housing in market -rate development could be available in residential as well as mixed use zones. The affordable housing units would not have to be limited to state or federally subsidized projects. Private deed restrictions could be used to ensure that rental units remain affordable for a period of time (e.g., 30 years) and renters would have to be meet income - qualifications. For affordable units that are for sale, buyers would also need to be income - qualified and appreciation would be limited to so that the unit remains affordable if resold. In terms of code amendments to implement this recommendation, one approach would be to create a new section in 18.700 (Specific Development Standards). Code provisions for affordable housing typically address the following: • Applicability, which zones or subareas (e.g. areas within x distance of high capacity transit) are the incentives available; City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 AA t G page 20 • Definitions, including those defining "affordable housing" and "low- and moderate - income households "; • The specific type and amount of incentives (bonuses) available; • Procedures for the review of affordable housing developments; • A requirement that the developer of housing enter into development agreements that will ensure that the affordable housing, whether for sale or for rent, remains affordable; • Designation of an officer or body to review and approve applications for developments that include affordable housing; and • Provisions for enforcement. NOTE: The City of Tigard will likely need to work closely with the Washington County Department of Housing Services and the Housing Authority to implement these provisions. Development code provisions in the North Bethany and Hillsboro areas may provide examples for future use by the City as it considers these types of code provisions. Other Incentives As noted above, height and density bonuses may be of somewhat limited benefit in the near -term. However, several of the other recommendations above may encourage a variety of housing types and could be further targeted toward affordable housing. For example, reducing parking requirements for ADUs and allowing them to be detached as well as attached will serve to encourage this housing type. Similarly, reducing the amount of off - street parking required for multi - family would serve to reduce the per unit cost of providing that housing. As noted above, these reductions should be tied to the availability of frequent transit service. In addition, parking reductions could be specifically targeted at affordable housing projects and /or senior apartment projects within transit served areas to provide additional incentives to build these types of housing. Because providing required parking is often a limiting factor when developing multi - family, parking reductions may be needed in order for a development to take advantage of the density bonuses. Recommendation CA10: Implement recommended ADU, parking and height and density bonuses suggested above. Details and Actions: No additional actions needed — see recommendation above. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A 1 page 21 5. Future Planning for New Residential Development and Redevelopment Several areas in Tigard represent unique opportunities to meet different type of housing needs for city residents, either because they are relatively undeveloped and represent new growth or expansion area (e.g., River Terrace) or because they have opportunities for more intensive residential or mixed use development given their location, zoning and access to community services and transportation facilities (e.g., the Tigard Triangle, Downtown and Washington Square areas). A number of the recommendations described in Sections 4, 6 and 7 would be appropriate for implementation in these areas and are described in more detail in those sections of this report. General Recommendation FP1: Pursue a variety of strategies to support, encourage or require residential development in these areas that is consistent with city housing goals, other recent or future planning processes and additional strategies described in this Report. River Terrace Recommendation FP2: Plan and zone land for residential use in this area that balances regional density requirements (an average net density of 10 dwelling units per acre is required) with a community desire to develop neighborhoods that emphasize single - family detached homes. _ -,....R•00 - - ' , -' — . ---- !l . ille'" ' "dill t :%- w _ s.. s s ' • n g y�r e " r )r i if •M e..a Y f*M . 5 � �s `fi .. �` �1 _ — • • J ✓. , 0 41/1 /XV{ I, w +tJ y'''" ' i a.

West Bull Mountain Concept Plan Preferred Land Use Alternative Source: West Bull Mountain Concept Plan, Washington County, October, 2010 City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A Y F "V page 22 Details and Actions The City is currently in the process of developing the River Terrace Community Plan for the areas that were most recently brought into Tigard's portion of the UGB. This includes lands addressed in the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan, including the recent River Terrace annexation (Area 64), as well as urban growth boundary expansion area 63 and the 50 -acre Roy Rogers West area. The West Bull Mountain Concept Plan calls for a range of housing types and zoning designations. The River Terrace Community Plan is expected to be generally consistent with the Concept Plan. Zoning in the area will have to meet regional targets for an average density of 10 dwelling units per acre. At the same time, this area is seen as an area that is appropriate for the development of neighborhoods predominantly characterized by single - family homes on individual lots. The City will need to balance these objectives as it moves forward with the Community Plan process. Specific strategies to do this may include: • Ensure that zoning is in place to allow an appropriate mix of single - family and multi - family development. Traditional single - family neighborhoods in a suburban environment tend to be somewhat segregated from other uses, and cover a larger area. In order to ensure thriving single family residential neighborhoods in this area, multi - family housing should be clustered in limited areas, near any planned commercial uses, and perhaps buffered from single family residential development with medium - density residential such as townhomes. • Single family lot sizes that average somewhat smaller than those typically found in the Bull Mountain area can help ensure that density targets are met. However, in this locale, lots which are too small (perhaps <4,000 square feet) may face a marketing challenge. A mixture of larger and smaller lots can produce a lower average lot size, while preserving housing choices. • The River Terrace area currently features large parcels of land which will facilitate master planned development and subdivision -style development. The current ownership pattern is advantageous for more rapid development of the Plan Area as opposed to piecemeal development, and should help avoid the need for public assembly of land. • Despite the recent housing downturn, homebuilding is returning to the Metro Area, and this area can anticipate interest in large -scale residential development in this area, if not in the next five years, then likely in the next 10 to 15 years. • Development will be facilitated by an adopted Community Plan, zoning and code changes, which create certainty in the permitting and development process. Downtown Recommendation FP3: Continue to implement ongoing planning, urban renewal, marketing and other efforts aimed at Downtown redevelopment, as well as implementing applicable development code strategies identified in Section 4 of this report. 2 More information about the River Terrace Community Plan is available online: http://www.tigard- or.gov /city hall /departments /cd /long range planning /river terrace.asp City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A f page 23 f D \ q 11,. 4 , 4 # � �i, 011 't a 11 ' s . _ <X> 1) ... , a 1 ., ..... , ,- --4 , .... * ,.,.:. 0 - _ .,... ,.. ..... ..,..... s.,,,,.. r, ,,,,,,,„ . .....„ . , No I 9 . 4 0 ;\ y ' ' ito K 1 , ,i)P "N olisiv 17 � ,r7,.\\,_ ' \ .

The City continues to work on a number of strategies for implementing this vision, including using urban renewal funds to finance street improvements and support new multi - family housing and to develop a Downtown Connectivity Plan and implementing standards to help ensure improved connectivity in the future. All of these strategies will help achieve land use and housing goals for this and other centers in Tigard. Zoning for the Downtown is primarily mixed use commercial and residential. As discussed in Section 4 of this report, a number of development code amendments are recommended to enhance the ability to permit future mixed use or higher density residential development in Tigard, particularly on infill parcels. Some of the strategies described in Section 4, including those parking requirement and density or height bonuses may be applicable to the Downtown and would serve as incentives for construction of housing in this and other regional centers and /or areas with existing or potential future access to high capacity transit. Application of funding strategies in this area, including use of fee waivers, urban renewal and tax abatement also would serve as incentives to provide needed housing types in this area. Focusing development in this area which already has available infrastructure and access to services also will reduce infrastructure - related costs of development in this area. Given the nature of existing conditions there, most future development in Downtown is likely to occur as redevelopment either on individual sites or through consolidation and redevelopment of multiple properties. The pace and character of this development will depend on a variety of market forces, as well as the availability of developable sites within the area. The City can support these efforts through some of the strategies described in Sections 4, 6 and 7 of this report, including: • Continue to implement the improvements identified in the Downtown Connectivity Plan. This plan calls for improved access among the mix of land uses in the Downtown area, as well as the eventual division of the Downtown's "superblocks." Improving access into the interior of these superblocks will make them more attractive for the type of urban residential development envisioned. Improving east /west multi -modal access through the district will also encourage redevelopment through making the neighborhood more cohesive. • The City currently has access to a range of development tools, either internally (i.e. Urban Renewal), or through regional partners such as TriMet and Metro, to offer incentives or subsidies for private development. Tigard should continue to seek opportunities to facilitate one or more residential, mixed - use or transit oriented developments which provide an example of density and design sought in the Downtown area. While public participation is limited by available funds and political considerations, the importance of the Downtown and extensive vision which has been developed for the district, make this neighborhood a good candidate for such involvement. • Implement the code - related strategies described in Section 4 of this report, including those that can serve as an incentive to residential and mixed use development. Monitor current standards for Downtown development and design as identified in the Development Code for any requirements which are hampering residential development, and may need to be amended. Property owners and City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 PG PG page 25 developers can often identify obstacles during the planning and permitting phases, which give some indication to the City if any code requirements are having the unintended consequence of hampering development that would otherwise meet the district's vision. Districts in transition from low- density legacy uses to high- density uses, such as Downtown Tigard, can sometimes limit the types of development which occur in between, as the transition takes place. • Work with affordable housing developers to target potential developments to sites with good access to transit and other services in this area, consistent with recommendation NR1 (see Section 6). Tigard Triangle Recommendation FP4: If residential development is part of the future vision for the Tigard Triangle, consider adopting zoning designations and standards that ensure that residential development or mixed use development with a residential component will occur in these areas. Details and Actions The City has had a long- standing goal of increasing opportunities for residential and mixed use development in the Tigard Triangle. The City recently received a grant from the state's Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) program to develop a District Plan for the Tigard Triangle. The new plan is expected to address a variety of land use and transportation planning issues, meet housing goals for the Triangle, and build on the recommendations from Tigard's recently completed High Capacity Transit (HCT) Land Use Planning process. The final report from that effort describes the Concept Plan for the Tigard Triangle as seeking to "blend smaller -scale retail, restaurants and housing to complement the current employment center, especially in the northeast part of the Triangle. Increased housing options would also be allowed northwest of Pacific Highway." More specific objectives of the planning effort for the Tigard Triangle include supporting mixed use development in the area; assessing the market for residential uses in the area and any barriers to that type of development; and creating a walkable area that makes efficient use of the transportation system, including addressing the needs of people who have difficulty accessing transportation due to their age, income or disabilities.

City staff reports that most property owners and developers envision the area as a location for large scale retail, commercial or light industrial activities. It is recommended that if residential use is part of the community vision for the Tigard Triangle, steps should be taken to ensure it is built in the future. To achieve this goal, it is recommend that specific areas be rezoned for residential use or for a mix of uses with a required residential component, rather than recommending that residential uses be a component of each future mixed use development in the entire area. Future residential areas in the Triangle also should allow for commercial uses that complement /support them. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft - February, 2013 PG PG page 27 In addition to designating areas specifically for residential uses, the City's development code should be amended to enhance standards for residential or mixed uses in the area. The current Tigard Triangle standards (TCDC 18.620), which were last amended in 2001, include site design standards, building design standards, entry portals (gateway) standards, and street and accessway standards. More details on these standards are provided in a technical appendix to this report (Task 3 and 5 Policy and Code review). Updating these standards would provide the City with an opportunity to address future street connections and street designs in greater detail (similar to what has been done in Downtown). The standards could vary setbacks and building design elements based on the street type and land use designation, including for residential uses. In addition, the area covered by the existing Tigard Triangle standards is smaller than the area envisioned in the HCT Land Use Plan. Improving connections to the area north of Highway 99 and /or applying standard to promote or facilitate transit - oriented development in this area would provide the City with an opportunity to create a transit - oriented neighborhood north of the highway as well as to address design standards and both sides of the street. In addition to these strategies, a number of other recommendations identified in other sections of this report would be appropriate for consideration in the Tigard Triangle, including the following: • Application of new standards for single - family attached housing and live /work units • Consideration density and height bonuses and adjustments to parking standards to serve as an incentive to development of higher density, affordable or other needed types of housing in this area • Use of permit or fee waivers or tax abatement for eligible affordable housing projects • Focusing development in areas with existing infrastructure and partnering with developers to fund additional needed infrastructure, where appropriate to reduce overall infrastructure - related costs of development Washington Square Recommendation FPS: Review Washington Square density standards (18.620.030.D, E, and F) for potential modifications to help make design standards more appropriate for residential developments and meet goals for production of housing this area. For portions of the area envisioned for mixed use development, consider implementing development code standards or requirements to ensure that residential development will occur. Details and Actions Washington Square is designated as a Regional Center in the Metro 2040 Plan. Given this designation, the Washington Square area represents opportunities for future residential and mixed use development. However, there are fewer properties with significant redevelopment potential in this area in comparison to the Tigard Triangle. The recently completed Tigard High Capacity Transit (HCT) Plan envisions land use changes in the Washington Square area to create more transit- oriented, dense, mixed use development in this area. Portions of the Washington Square area are designated as Town Center /Main Street, Transit Corridor and Transit City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 m AA I V page 28 Neighborhood areas in the HCT Plan, although a more limited portion of the area is devoted to mixed use or residential development concepts than in the Tigard Triangle. Underlying zoning in these areas is primarily Mixed Use Employment, Mixed Use Residential and Single Family Residential. WES Ha1lMimbation " us r ..� .....

The types of site design and building design standards addressed are similar to those applied in the Tigard Triangle. However, building design standards in the Washington Square area apply to all new buildings within the MUC, MUE, and MUR zones in Washington Square Regional Center, not just to non - residential buildings. The Washington Square standards were adopted in 2002, before the latest update to Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan (UGMFP). City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A PG page 29 Similar to the standards applied in the Tigard Triangle, some of the building and site design standards may be more appropriate for non - residential buildings and less appropriate for residential uses, including live /work units and single - family attached housing. The same comments related to these standards in the Tigard Triangle would apply in the Washington Square area. This area also would be appropriate for application of incentives to encourage development of specific types and densities of housing in this area as described elsewhere in this report. In addition, a broader range of housing types could be considered as permitted outright in this area, including single - family attached and multi - family housing, but not including single - family detached housing. Also, similar to the Tigard Triangle, if residential use is part of the community vision for this area as it appears to be, steps should be taken to ensure it is built there in the future using a similar approach as identified for the Triangle. Other Corridors and Centers Recommendation FP6: Implement a variety of strategies related to zoning designations and related development standards, connectivity improvements, marketing and other strategies to promote residential and mixed use development in potential future high- capacity transit areas. Details and Actions In the Tigard HCT Report, in addition to the areas described above, several other areas were considered as potential high capacity transit station communities and recommended for transit - oriented development strategies, or identified as opportunity areas for other more limited land use and connectivity changes : • Scholls Ferry Road (between approximately 120th and 125th Avenues) • Gaarde McDonald area (centered on OR 99 north and south of Gaarde /McDonald Streets) • 99W /Durham (centered on OR 99 between approximately Beef Bend and Fischer Roads) • Upper Bridgeport area (centered on SW 72nd Avenue north and south of Upper Boones Ferry Road /Carman Drive) City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 1 A F page 30 ■, fi Scholl, Ferry , 111" Ave. Washington Square .t `v 1,_ w v g � r Tigard Triangle .- 1 ' - ;;111111101. , I% ____ . ---.-- 1 Ad1111.1111111.11 0 ir ...I 99Wlhaarde /McDonald tu. ." i• 1 t J 04 ti, fib 3 , , _....,_ arti Bridgeport Village IIIL Snmmerfield Downtown Tigard e R - -wrr..r -- Or.

Specific strategies and tools to support development of housing in these areas would be similar to some of those identified for the Tigard Triangle, Washington Square and Downtown, and could include the following: • Adopt Comprehensive Plan or Zone Changes in portions of the 99W /Durham and Pacific Highway /Gaarde - McDonald areas to enable development of mixed use centers, including residential uses • Apply standards for single - family attached and live /work housing units in proposed mixed use portions of the 99W /Durham and Pacific Highway /Gaarde - McDonald areas, consistent with recommendations described in Section 4 of this report City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A page 31 • Implement updated parking standards and requirements described in Section 4 in areas identified as transit corridors and main street /town center portions of these areas, in part to serve as an incentive for residential and mixed use development in these areas • Implement recommendations related to accessory dwelling units, infill development standards and cottage clusters in portions of these areas designated as transit neighborhoods and encourage development of these housing types in those areas • Work with affordable housing developers to identify opportunities to develop housing in close proximity to transit and other services and reduce infrastructure costs, consistent with recommendations in Section 6 of this report • Use permit or fee waivers or tax abatement for eligible affordable housing projects as described in Section 7 of this report • Take advantage of existing infrastructure in these areas to reduce infrastructure- related costs of development City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 r A `� page 32 6. Additional Non - Regulatory Strategies The City of Tigard can best meet some housing goals by providing information to other parties as part of planning and development processes. In the areas of complying with the Fair Housing Act and the design of accessible housing features, the City either does not have regulatory authority to directly address these issues or doing so would create potential consistency issues with state or federal requirements. However, by providing information, particularly readily available handbooks and guidelines prepared by other entities, the City can further these housing goals. Similar to Fair Housing practices and accessibility design, decisions about where and how to build and finance housing are made primarily by other entities. Either private or non - profit developers or public agencies such as Washington County directly fund and /or manage housing for people with low incomes or special needs. In addition to its general role in planning for and permitting residential uses, the City also can help advocate for or support specific projects that further the City's housing goals. In doing so, the City can provide information to prospective developers about strategies described elsewhere in this report that help serve as incentives to building needed housing in regional centers, high capacity transit corridors and other areas that provide residents with access to transportation and access to services. In some cases, this also will include areas where the cost of infrastructure is relatively lower, potentially reducing the overall cost of development. More specific recommended approaches and actions are described below for several sub - topics. Fair Housing Requirements Recommendation NR1: The City should support the objectives of the Fair Housing Act by providing information to other parties about actions or strategies that will be consistent with the Act and help achieve its goals. Details and Actions Based on a recent review of fair housing impediments commissioned by Washington County, several specific strategies are recommended towards this end: • Provide affordable housing developers with information about areas or potential sites that will help link residents with access to transportation, employment, needed goods and services, quality education and personal enrichment opportunities. These would include sites with high quality schools, access to public transit, walkable neighborhoods, grocery stores, other shopping opportunities and amenities. Washington County has prepared a set of "Opportunity maps" that were included in the Consolidated Plan, showing proximity to transit, health care facilities, public services, parks and trails, grocery stores and farmers markets, and high test scores in schools by Census block groups throughout Washington County. City of Tigard staff can use these maps to meet these objectives. They also can highlight areas of the City being planned for future high capacity transit that currently or are planned to include some of these amenities in the future. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 M AA ry page 33 • Help affordable housing advocates and developers identify vacant or redevelopable properties that would be suitable for affordable or special needs in terms of their size, zoning, proximity to services or other factors. • As the City adopts code amendments recommended in this Report to facilitate development of a variety of housing types, provide information about these new provisions to affordable housing advocates and developers. • Coordinate with the cities of Beaverton and Hillsboro as they develop a Green Construction Resource Directory for affordable housing providers throughout the county; use this resource in identifying and working with affordable housing providers in the future. Design Practices to Ensure Accessibility Recommendation NR2: The City should provide information to developers about design practices that will help ensure that new housing units are accessible to people with physical or mobility disabilities, including aging residents. Details and Actions An increasing percentage of the population is aging. As the baby boom generation ages, communities will continue to see a need for housing that meets the needs of people with physical and mobility limitations. Designing accessible features into housing of all types will be increasingly important. As described above, the Oregon Building Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act both require that accessible features be incorporated in certain types of housing. For example, the Oregon Structural Specialty Code (OSSC) for multi -unit residential buildings includes a comprehensive set of accessibility requirements. However, compliance with the OSSC does not assure compliance with all accessibility laws because the OSSC includes only those standards that are required by Oregon law and does not incorporate all federal and Oregon accessibility standards. To help organizations comply with the accessibility provisions of the Fair Housing Act and to generally promote the construction of accessible housing, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) established a set of Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines (FHAG) that "provide builders and developers with technical guidance on how to comply with the accessibility requirements of the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988.i Use of these guidelines can support accessibility and also act as a "safe harbor" in meeting Fair Housing Act requirements. It is recommended that the City do the following to promote the design of accessible homes and compliance with Fair Housing Act requirements: 3 Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines http: / /portal.hud.gov /hudportal /HUD ?src = /program offices /fair housing equal opp /disabilities /fhefhag 4 Fair Housing Council of Oregon Accessible Design and Construction Handbook, Fair Housing Council of Oregon and Community Development Law Center (June 2010), http: // fhco .org /pdfs /DCHandbook062010.pdf City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A pG page 34 • Make builders aware of Fair Housing Act requirements related to accessibility for applicable developments (i.e., residential building with four or more units). Tables presenting federal and state accessibility standards in the 2010 Fair Housing Council of Oregon Accessible Design and Construction Handbook also could be provided. • Provide information about the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines to all builders and developers and encourage them to follow the guidelines in building new housing and particularly for residential development targeted to people with physical or mobility limitations. Specific features that promote accessibility and address the needs of people with other disabilities can include but are not limited to the following: ✓ A bedroom, kitchen, living room, and full bathroom on one level of the home ✓ Smooth walls and surfaces to reduce the accumulation of potential sources of infection for people with lower immunity, and rounded edges of walls, doors, windows, and furniture to reduce potential injuries ✓ Use of sound absorbing materials in the rooms to make it easier to hear ✓ Walk -in showers with height adjustable handheld showerheads ✓ Walk -in bedroom closets with storage at differing heights ✓ Rocker light switches instead of more common flip switches ✓ Lever -style door handles and faucets. Advisory Committee members note it is particularly important to provide this type of information to developers who are returning to the housing market and /or have not traditionally consider accessibility in the design of their residential homes or developments. Additional Information for Private Developers Recommendation NR3: In addition to providing information about accessible design features, the City should provide information to developers that will generally help them understand the City's land use permitting process and give them a sense of clarity and certainty about city requirements. Details and Actions Private market developers appreciate clarity and certainty in the design and permitting process. Certainty helps the developer save time, make decisions to proceed, and avoid costly surprises further along in the process. In some cases, a developer will even prefer the certainty of a clear process even if it has greater requirements and fees, over a complex and unclear process with nominally lower requirements and fees. This means that City 5 These design ideas are drawn from the websites of non - profit organizations dedicated to issues faced by seniors and people with disabilities. http://www.oldagesolutions.org/Environment/DnE.aspx, http: / /www.ageinplace.org /practical advice /making your home senior friendly.aspx http: / /www.aarp.org /home- garden /livable - communities /info -07- 2011 /what -is -u niversal- design. html City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 mAye r "V page 35 development code, design review process, permitting process, fees etc. should be as easy to understand and navigate for the developer as possible. The City can do this in multiple ways: • Ensure that primary documents such as the Development Code and design guidelines are easy to use for a person moderately informed in the design or development process; • Provide knowledgeable staff to answer questions regarding the entire process from planning to permitting; • Create additional materials such as one page handouts that summarizes relevant code and process information, even if it is already available in longer documents; • Provide information about code provisions and other strategies described elsewhere in this report that can serve as incentives to develop housing in regional centers and high capacity transit corridors; • Assign a single contact person to facilitate the development process in the case of projects the City deems particularly important, such as a large -scale development, prominent site location, or catalyst project; • Provide as much of this information in advance as possible. Try to provide estimates of time, requirements and fees to the extent practicable, while emphasizing that these are all preliminary estimates that may change. Avoid processes which require developers to commit extensive time and money before key requirements or public processes become apparent. Continued Support for Local and Regional Affordable Housing Efforts Recommendation NR4: The City should continue to participate in and support County and regional efforts to meet current and future housing needs, particularly those targeted to affordable and special needs housing. Details and Actions A number of regional processes and programs are aimed at addressing housing needs in the Portland Metropolitan area and Washington County. The City of Tigard is a community partner in these efforts and should continue to participate in and support them. Washington County is the primary recipient of federal funding associated with housing. Through its Consolidated Plan for Community Development and Housing and annual Action Plans, it manages and allocates federal funds to meet a variety of housing and community development needs. It also manages construction and operation of publicly assisted housing developments and administers Section 8 vouchers through the County's Department of Housing Services. Other County -wide efforts targeted to affordable and special needs housing include activities undertaken by the Vision Action Network and the Community Housing Trust Fund in Washington County. At the regional level, Metro helps guide local housing efforts through requirements and guidelines in its Urban Growth Management Functional Plan related to zoning for a mix and density of housing to support a variety of housing needs. Other regional housing efforts have included preparation of a Regional Affordable Housing Strategy in 2000 and updated recommendations from the Housing Choice Task Force adopted by the Metro City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 AA t 'v page 36 Council in 2006. Those recommendations included establishing regional and local targets for production of affordable housing and continuing to coordinate with Metro on other regional and local affordable housing strategies. The City should continue to participate in and support the activities recommended by these organizations and planning processes. A number of strategies identified in other sections of this report will further those actions, including development code strategies related to parking, location of housing in areas with good transit services and other amenities, as well as planning and zoning for a full range of housing types, including in existing residential and mixed use neighborhoods, as well as newly developing areas such as urban growth boundary expansion areas. It also would be helpful for the City to prepare informational materials that summarize how the city's policies and codes support the development of affordable housing and use these materials in future communications with developers, decision - makers and citizens. This could be done in the form of annual Affordable Housing Program update, similar to a report which the City prepared in 2002, but a more concise version of that document (http: / /www.tigard- or.gov /city hall /departments /cd /docs /affordable housing report.pdf). 6 Metro Housing Choice Task Force http://www.oregonmetro.gov/index.cfm/go/bv.web/id=269 City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 r A r page 37 7. Administrative and Funding Strategies Implementing a number of the strategies described in this report will require a commitment of staff resources. In addition, the City has historically supported affordable and special needs housing projects through fee waivers and tax abatements. Those efforts are very helpful in providing needed financial support for such projects and leveraging resources provided by other entities. Recommendation AF1: City staff should continue to address housing goals and implement housing strategies in a consistent and coordinated manner, with a common understanding of the goals, priorities and approaches identified in this report. The City also should continue to provide a certain level of funding to support affordable and special needs housing projects, including maintaining existing programs and considering additional strategies, as resources allow in the future. More specific recommended actions are described in the following section. Details and Actions Following is a summary of specific recommended strategies related to staffing and financing. Staffing Tigard has a relatively small but dedicated planning staff tasked with addressing a wide variety of long range and current land use and other planning issues. Most staff, particularly those assigned to long range planning work on multiple planning initiatives concurrently. The City does not currently have a single staff person dedicated to addressing long range or current housing issues. Instead, multiple staff people address residential planning and development issues through a range of activities, including reviewing residential development applications, incorporating planning for housing in specific or sub -area planning processes, administering and updating the City's Development Code, coordinating with regional and county efforts related to housing policy and development. We recommend that all staff continue to address housing needs in a consistent and coordinated manner, with some activities assigned to a specific staff person. This will provide for a good balance of flexibility and accountability needed to meet the City's housing needs and goals. Specific recommended approaches and activities include the following: • Require all planning staff to review this document and regularly refer to the strategies it includes, particularly the summary table included in Section 8. • Identify one staff person who will be responsible for coordinating with other staff to review and refine the list of strategies in this report on an annual basis. That process would not require updating the report in its entirety but should entail updating the table in Section 8 to address any emerging housing issues, needs or tools not previously identified. That process also should include an assessment of the City's progress in implementing recommended housing strategies. The staff person assigned to this task also could be a designated liaison for coordinating with Washington County, Metro and other local, regional or state partnerships to address housing goals and needs. It will be important for this staff City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A� r v page 38 person and possibly others to have a good working knowledge of affordable housing development issues and practices, including information about available financing tools, property acquisition and development practices and necessary partnerships between affordable housing developers, lenders and builders, among other topics. • Create a set of checklists of activities related to different types of planning efforts. The checklists should reference associated strategies identified in this report or annual updates. Project managers should review the checklists at the outset of any given planning project and continue to use them as they move forward to address project- specific housing issues. • Establish a plan for adopting the various Development Code recommendations identified in this report, along with a strategy to fund that work. The City should explore state grant or other funding sources that could be used to supplement available local resources. Section 8 of this report includes information that could be incorporated in such a plan. • Account for staffing needs associated with implementing housing strategies in annual budgeting and work planning activities. This would entail regularly estimating the amount of time needed to implement these strategies, prioritizing this work in relation to other duties, and ensuring that adequate time and resources are available to meet these goals within the City's overall resource limits. • Brief Planning Commission and Council members about these housing goals and strategies on a regular basis, either as part of an annual or semi - annual event or as part of orientation and training for new members. Statutory Authority and Federal Funding Tigard is projected to have over 50,000 residents within the next few years. This will make the City eligible to directly receive federal housing and community development funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Currently, Tigard receives such funding indirectly through Washington County which is the designated entitlement agenda for HUD funding for all jurisdictions within the County, except Beaverton. The HOME and ESG (Emergency Solutions Grant) programs administered by HUD do not have the same population - related eligibility thresholds and would not be affected in the same way. While the City of Hillsboro (which also is eligible to be an entitlement jurisdiction) has chosen to continue to have such activities funded through Washington County's program, the City of Beaverton has elected to administer its own set of federally funded housing and community development programs. Tigard will soon have the ability and responsibility for choosing which of these two paths to take. In considering which approach to take, the City should consider the following factors among others: • Increased flexibility. Being an entitlement agency allows a local jurisdiction to implement and tailor programs more specific to local housing goals and priorities to some degree. For example, Beaverton administers a number of housing rehabilitation and loan programs using its HUD funding. Tigard currently has more limited ability to implement such programs for Tigard residents as part of the Washington County consortium. At the same time, if Tigard reaches the threshold for becoming an City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A PG page 39 entitlement agency but elects to remain part of the Washington County Consortium, it can work with the County to determine which types of programs and activities will be implemented in Tigard through a joint CDBG block grant agreement. • Specific needs. Smaller jurisdictions typically become entitlement entities to meet specific needs that are not currently being met by the consortium of which they have been a member. In weighing the costs and benefits of becoming an entitlement jurisdiction, the City of Tigard will want to ask whether there are additional needs within the city that it can meet with CDBG funds on its own and are not currently being provided by Washington County. The value of meeting these unmet demands will need to outweigh the administrative and other costs associated with becoming an entitlement community. • Administrative cost. Administering HUD funding entails more work by city staff than participating in the County consortium. It would require use of a dedicated staff person to lead the city's efforts to coordinate with HUD and help develop and administer specific programs or strategies. This in turn would require more in -depth knowledge of federal programs and practices, internal and external coordination with HUD staff and other community partners, program development and other activities. City of Beaverton staff notes that meeting federal grant requirements takes a significant amount of time and to some degree requirements (and time commitments) are the same, no matter the size of the jurisdiction. In addition, the city likely would incur relatively significant legal costs associated with CDBG grant administration. Cities that currently operate their own CDBG programs within the Portland Metro area (Beaverton and Gresham) reportedly need to subsidize their programs with general fund revenues because the costs to administer the programs exceed the HUD revenues available to operate them (which are capped at a maximum of 20% of total local CDBG funds). • Decision- making complexity. In addition to added responsibilities for staff, directly accepting and using HUD funds would increase responsibilities for the City Council and possibly other city boards or commissions, including during budget review and approval processes and /or associated with financing specific programs or facilities. • Complexity for local non - profit groups. Because CDBG funds cannot serve or provide funding to serve people in other entitlement communities, the application process can be complex for non - profit groups who serve more than one entitlement community. For example, currently local non - profit groups must apply separately for funds to serve Beaverton and Washington County. Non - profit groups would face a similar situation in Tigard if the city were to become an entitlement agency. In addition, those groups would not be able to use funds provided by Washington County to provide services within Tigard but could only provide services in Tigard using grant money provided by the City of Tigard. • Funding thresholds and available resources. Funding thresholds for specific programs funded by HUD as part of the CDBG program vary by the size of entitlement communities. In many cases, the maximum amount of money available for projects in Tigard would be lower than for the County as a whole. This could limit the size of HUD - funded projects that would be undertaken in Tigard to some degree. In addition, it should be noted that resources for entitlement communities have decreased over the last 20 years. City of Beaverton staff notes that small entitlement jurisdictions (close to 50,000 population) currently receive about $200,000 per year, compared to over $400,000 received by Beaverton when it City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 AA rV m page 40 initially became an entitlement community. They question whether this current level of resources, coupled with associated administrative responsibilities and costs, would lead to a cost - effective decision to become an entitlement jurisdiction for a city the size of Tigard. This report does not include an ultimate recommendation as to whether Tigard should become a CDBG entitlement agency. In the long term, the City should consider the factors described above and other relevant criteria in making this decision. However, in the short term, it is recommended that the City remain part of the Washington County consortium (even after passing the 50,000 residents population threshold) and obtain experience with the administration of HUD funds through a joint operating agreement relationship with Washington County. During that time, the City may wish to establish a more formal evaluation and decision - making framework for determining whether to become a separate entitlement community. Financing Tools One of the primary obstacles to achieving housing goals, particularly those for development of affordable housing is a lack of funding at all levels of government, coupled with the inability of the private sector to meet certain types of housing needs without public subsidy. The City of Tigard already implements several financing programs to assist with the development of affordable housing, including: • Use of urban renewal funding to construct public improvements that act as incentives for private sector residential development and to augment the costs of selected residential development projects. • In partnership with the Tigard /Tualatin School District, and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, provides tax exemptions for low- income housing owned by non - profit corporations. Exemptions, first adopted in 1996, must be renewed each year and have been granted to a total of five projects developed by Community Partners for Affordable Housing. Currently, the City only offers these exemptions to non- profit organizations. However, the City could consider providing the exemptions for affordable housing developments built by private sector developers if they meet all the same program eligibility and other requirements, including guarantees to maintain the long -term affordability of the units. • Implementation of an Affordable Housing Fee Assistance program to waive or reduce fees for qualifying affordable housing developments. As part of this program the City provides a fee waiver of up to $500 per unit up to a total budgeted amount of $10,000 per year for project that meet eligibility requirements, including affordability standards. In addition to these strategies, the City could consider a variety of other funding tools, including the following: • Low interest loans, grants • Downpayment assistance • Leveraging private and non - profit resources • Expansion of the fee assistance program or implementation of a separate program to waive or defer payment of system development charges for affordable housing projects As noted above, the City has implemented some of these strategies for affordable housing projects, including tax exemptions and fee waivers. Several of these tools also are identified as recommended actions for local City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A page 41 jurisdictions in Washington County's Consolidated Plan, although there are some obstacles to their implementation. For example, some of the system development charges (SDCs) assessed to new development in Tigard are not paid directly to the City but rather to special service districts that provide services in Tigard, including the Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue District and Clean Water Services. Currently, the only SDCs that the City collects pertain to water service, storm water treatment and sanitary sewer treatment. Tigard can choose to waive or pay its own SDCs for affordable housing projects. However, to cover other SDCs, the City must either convince other service providers to waive their own charges or pay the SDCs of those other providers. The current economic climate makes either of these tasks more challenging, particularly if the City chooses to cover other agencies' SDCs. Further work on this issue should be conducted as part of a coordinated process with Washington County and other local jurisdictions and service providers, as recommended by the County in its current Consolidated Plan for Community Development and Housing. If the City becomes a federal entitlement jurisdiction, it also would implement additional financing programs, including low interest loans and grants and downpayment assistance. In doing so, the City could focus those programs on the following activities: • Target financing programs such as low interest loans, grants, downpayment assistance, and tax credits or abatements to areas with high housing cost burdens; provide specific outreach about these programs to people in these neighborhoods. • Provide information about and encourage residents to take advantage of state and other programs described in Appendix C. As noted in Section 6 of this report, the City also should continue to work closely with local non - profits, developers and others to leverage private resources to help meet a variety of housing needs, including through the following efforts, some of which are described in more detail in other sections of this report: • Partner with area non - profit development organizations to capitalize on their capacity to raise public and private subsidies and structure financing near the break -even point that will ultimately benefit low income households. • Support the efforts of community housing development organizations and other non - profit housing providers to identify opportunity sites, assist with the development permitting process and provide information about local and state financing programs. • Encourage other developers to incorporate housing affordable to low and moderate income residents in their proposed developments, similar to development code provisions in Beaverton and Milwaukie. • Encourage large employers to consider implementing employer assisted housing programs.

City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Revised Draft — February, 2013 A City of Tigard Housing and Population Review PG Task 6 Housing Report Page 1 Memorandum DATE: January 23, 2013 TO: Marissa Daniels, City of Tigard FROM: Matt Hastie, Angelo Planning Group SUBJECT: City of Tigard Population and Housing Review Tasks 6: Housing Report — Preliminary Draft This report includes proposed language for inclusion in an updated (Goal 10) Housing element of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan. This element of the City's Comprehensive Plan was updated relatively recently (2008) and much of the language in this section of the Plan remains relevant, including the majority of the Plan's goals, policies and recommended action measures. However, a number of changes to the Plan are proposed, consistent with the results of the Housing and Population Study and recommendations and information found in reports prepared for Tasks 1 -5 of this planning process. The remainder of this document contains proposed updated Comprehensive Plan language. Proposed revisions to existing Plan language are shown in underline and s# it gh format; the "Findings" section is recommended to be replaced in its entirety with the text provided in this document. Narrative GOAL 10: Housing "To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state." Some of the factors that local governments can influence are the supply of available residential land; the availability of public services; development regulations (density and design), and support for low and moderate income housing through funding or incentives. The Citv also can assist in providing information to non - profit and private developers about housing opportunity sites, state and federal funding opportunities and design and development practices that promote construction of accessible, sustainable, attractive and affordable housing. In the Portland metropolitan region, only land included in the Metro Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), an invisible line that separates resource land from presently developable areas , can be developed at residential densities requiring urban services. At the local level, each county and city must inventory its buildable land, which is defined as vacant and re- developable land suitable for residential use, to determine housing capacity. Tigard maintains a buildable lands inventory (BLI) that tracks available residential land. Two state and Metro requirements help determine housing capacities on buildable land within the Portland Metropolitan Area —the state Metropolitan Housing Rule and Title 1 of Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan (Functional Plan). Both focus on increasing a local jurisdictions' housing capacity in order to make efficient use of land and urban services use -land within the UGB efficiently. City of Tigard Housing Report Draft— February, 2013 �mAy-� I�"V page 2 The Metropolitan Housing Rule (OAR 660 - 007 /Division 7) established regional residential density and mix standards for communities within the Metro UGB. It sets minimum residential density standards for new construction by jurisdiction. Tigard must provide for the opportunity to build new housing at an overall average density of 10 or more dwelling units per net buildable acre, as well as designate sufficient buildable land to provide the opportunity for at least 50% of new residential units to be attached housing (either single - family attached or multiple - family units.) Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Metro implements Goal 10 through Title 1 of the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan (Functional Plan). To meet Title 1, each jurisdiction was is required to determine its housing capacity and adopt minimum density requirements. Tigard adopted an 80% of minimum density requirement for development in 1998. This which means that a development must build 80% of the maximum units allowed by the applicable zoning designation. - - • - - _ - - - - - - - . _ e • - minimum H re .v cnt In addition to complying with the Functional Plan, the City's Development Code identifies the types and densities of housing allowed in all of Tigard's residential and mixed use zoning districts. The City of Tigard maintains an up -to -date buildable lands inventory and a permit tracking system for development, - • - _ ' - - . • . •. The City also is responsible for monitoring residential development. All of these tools aid the City in monitoring its progress toward the above goals, and determining if the opportunity remains for current and future residents to have diverse housing choices. Tigard's Geographic Limits to Growth As noted above, the UGB established and maintained by Metro, in coordination with Tigard and other local jurisdictions establishes a geographical limit to future growth. It is required to include an adequate supply of land to meet the region's 20 -year land needs associated with housing, employment and other needed land uses. • - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - _ _ The UGB was expanded in 2002 to include land referred to as Area 63 and Area 64. In 2012, the UGB was expanded again to include an additional 50 acres (Roy Rogers West) to connect Areas 63 and 64. All of these areas were included in the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan (WBMCP) and have since been annexed into the City of Tigard and are known as River Terrace.

The analysis also found that the City's zoning allows for the opportunity for more than 50% of new housing to be constructed as single- family attached or multi - family housing, consistent with the Metropolitan Housing Rule. There is additional capacity for housing to be constructed in the City's mixed use (commercial /residential) zones such as the Tigard Triangle, Washington Square and Downtown areas. This is over and above the capacity for 7,000 units estimated in the analysis. Affordable Housing/ Special Needs Housing Metro also addresses affordable housing in Title 7 of its Functional Plan. Title 7 includes voluntary affordable housing production goals and other affordable housing strategies. Tigard has undertaken a variety of voluntary actions to support and enhance opportunities for affordable housing, including offsetting City fees and charges for affordable housing, and a tax exemption for low income housing developed by nonprofit groups. Among the organizations involved in low income housing, special needs housing, and emergency housing, are Community Partners for Affordable Housing, Tualatin Valley Housing Partners, Luke -Dorf, and the Good Neighbor Center and others. Tigard is also part of the Washington County Housing Consortium that utilizes HOME and CDBG funds to provide housing opportunities. This Plan includes a variety of policies to further the development of affordable and special needs housing in Tigard. The City's Development Code also includes provisions that can act as incentives and /or create opportunities to help meet these housing needs. Key Findings: The following findings are based on a population and housing needs assessment prepared for the city in 2013. Data included in the findings is based on a combination of Census data from 2010 and other data sources from 2012, except where noted. [Note: The following findings replace findings currently contained in the Housing element of the Comprehensive Plan.] Current (2010/2012) Population Trends • The 2013 Housing Strategies Report and supporting memos and analyses provide the basis for the findings and recommendations in this element of the Comprehensive Plan. That document has been adopted as an ancillary document of this Comprehensive Plan. • As of the 2010 Census, Tigard was the fifth largest city by population in the Portland metro area (excluding Vancouver, Washington). It represents 3% of the total population within the three primary metro counties. Tigard is the 13 largest city in Oregon. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Draft — February, 2013 A PG page 4 • Tigard grew by 6,857 people between 2000 and 2010, or 17 %. This is somewhat slower than growth in Washington County of 19% during that period, but greater than growth in the state of Oregon of 12 %. Tigard experienced growth at a slower percentage than the two largest Washington County cities of Hillsboro and Beaverton (31% and 18% respectively) during this timeframe. • Tigard was home to over 48,000 people and 19,000 households in 2010. Families represent 65% of all households. This is very similar to the Metro area figure of 63.5% family households, and Washington County's 66.8 %. • Tigard's average household size in 2010 was 2.49 persons, which is slightly smaller than Washington County and the Metro area's averages of 2.6 and 2.52 respectively. • Tigard's median household income was over $59,000 in 2010. This is 11% higher than the Portland /Vancouver metro area median ($53,078). However, it is 10% lower than the countywide median of $66,500. • Median income grew 15% between 2000 and 2010, while growing over 27% in Washington County. • An estimated 8% of the population in Tigard lives under the poverty level. (American Community Survey, 2006 -2010, five -year average) The poverty rate for Tigard households is higher than average among females (9.9 %) and those under 18 years of age (8.7 %), similar to national trends. Current (2010/2012) Housing Trends and Needs • An estimated 60% of housing units are ownership units, while an estimated 40% of housing units are rental units. This is a similar ratio of ownership units compared to the general Portland /Vancouver Metro Area (62% ownership rate), and the state. • Over 95% of ownership units are single family homes (detached or attached), while nearly 60% of rental units are in structures of 5 units or more. • In general, there is a need for some less expensive ownership units and rental units. This is not uncommon as the lowest income households struggle to find housing of any type that keeps costs at 30% of gross income. • Among prospective ownership households, there is a solid supply of mid - priced housing between $170k and $240k, as well as upper- mid - priced housing of $370k to $550k. This analysis estimates the need for more for -sale housing in between these ranges, and at the upper end of the market. • There is a general need for rental units at the lower and middle price levels. There are levels of estimated surplus for apartments ($620 to $1060 per month), and for single family homes for rent ($1770 - $3,530). These ranges represent the average rent prices in Tigard, typical of the majority of housing units in Tigard. • Overall, there is a total surplus of 270 ownership units, and a current surplus of rental units of 631. This is an estimate based on a model of general preferences of households in different age and income cohorts to either own or rent. • There are an estimated 901 units more than the current number of households, reflecting the current estimated vacancy rate of 4.4 %. Future Housing Demand and Land Supply • There is a need for over 6,500 new housing units by 2030, with a stronger emphasis on new ownership units. City of Tigard Housing Strategies Report Draft — February, 2013 rA� ry page 5 • Of the new units needed, 76% are projected to be ownership units, while 24% are projected to be rental units. • Of the new units needed, the largest share (53 %) is projected to be single family detached homes, due to a stronger projected need for new ownership housing. The remainder of units (47 %) is projected to be some form of attached housing. • It is projected that in coming decades a greater share of housing will be attached types, including attached single family. Single family attached units are projected to meet nearly 20% of future need. • Duplex through four -plex units are projected to represent over 8% of the total need, while 18% of all needed units are projected to be multi - family in structures of 5+ attached units. • Under 1% of new needed units are projected to be manufactured home units in manufactured home parks, which meet the needs of some low- income households for both ownership and rental. • There is the capacity (as of 2012) to build approximately 7,000 new housing units on buildable lands zoned for residential development (residential and "mixed use residential" zones) within the City's UG • The supply of buildable land zoned for residential use in Tigard provides the opportunity to develop more than 50% of new housing as single- family attached or multi - family units, consistent with the Metropolitan Housing Rule. • There is the capacity to build several thousand additional housing units on land zoned as "mixed use employment" and "mixed use commercial" in the Downtown, Washington Square and Tigard Triangle areas. • City zoning provides the opportunity to construct housing at an average overall density of 10 units per net developable acre, consistent with requirements of the Metropolitan Housing Rule. • The City's Comprehensive Plan policies and Development Code provide for the opportunity to meet a full range of housing choices and needs. However, a number of action measures are recommended in this Plan to enhance those opportunities. Goals, Policies and Recommended Action Measures: Goal: 10.1 Provide opportunities for a variety of housing types at a range of price levels to meet the diverse housing needs of current and future City residents.

Metro goes through a highly technical analysis process to produce twenty -year population and employment forecasts for the entire Portland Metropolitan Area based upon expected land supply and demand. Using land use and transportation modeling to match demand with supply, the forecast is then distributed among each of the local jurisdictions in the region. The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development requires consistency by the local jurisdiction when applying population and employment all forecasts in subsequent planning work. Proposed Amendment to Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 2: Land Use Planning Goal 2.1 Maintain an up -to -date Comprehensive Plan, implementing regulations and action plan as the legislative foundation of Tigard's land use planning program.

Attachment 4 Tigard Population and Housing Review Development Code Amendments Staff Recommendation DCA 2013 -00002 Project Summary To ensure the city is in compliance with state regulations which require, "clear and objective standards, conditions and procedures regulating the development of needed housing" changes to the Site Development Review (SDR) approval criteria are being proposed. These approval criteria apply to a wide range of development types within the City (e.g., commercial, industrial, etc.), including housing. While most of the SDR approval criteria appear to be clear and objective, some do appear to allow for more discretion. This code update clarifies that housing is exempt from meeting these more discretionary criteria. Background Tigard has been awarded a Periodic Review grant by the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) to complete a Goal 10 Population and Housing Review. Every five to seven years, cities and counties are required to evaluate their comprehensive plans and land use regulations through a process called "Periodic Review" (ORS 197.628 -644 and OAR 660, Division 25). This process ensures Tigard's Comprehensive Plan and land use regulations are consistent with Oregon law and continue to provide for the growth management and development needs of the community. The project looked at population projections and demographic trends along with the amount and location of available land. The end result is a list of potential strategies to meet the city's future demand for housing that implement the city's aspirations and state requirements. Development Code Amendments - How to Read This Section This section is organized by Development Code chapter number. Odd - numbered pages show the existing language with proposed amendments. Text that is proposed to be added to the code is shown with double underlines. Text that is proposed to be deleted is shown with stliketltreugh. Even - numbered pages contain commentary on the amendments, which establish, in part, the legislative intent in adopting these amendments. Commentary Chapter 18.360 STYE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW Clear and Objective Standards for Needed Housing ORS 197.307 states that: (4) Except as provided in subsection (6) of this section, a local government may adopt and apply only clear and objective standards, conditions and procedures regulating the development of needed housing on buildable land described in subsection (3) of this section. The standards, conditions and procedures may not have the effect, either in themselves or cumulatively, of discouraging needed housing through unreasonable cost or delay. The development standards in 18.510.050 that apply within the residential zoning districts appear to be clear and objective. However, all new residential development except for single - family detached units and duplexes is also subject to Site Development Review (SDR). SDR applications are processed as a Type II procedure using the approval criteria contained in TCDC 18.360.090. The SDR approval criteria address the relationship between the built and physical environment, building facade features, private and shared space, and transit access and amenities. In addition to needed housing, these approval criteria apply to a wide range of development types within the City (e.g., commercial, industrial, etc.) that are not subject to the requirement for clear and objective standards. This purpose of this code update is to implement the recommendation in the Tigard Housing Strategies Report to: Recommendation CA8: Review the Site Development Review approval criteria contained in TCDC 18.360.090; for those criteria that are not clear and objective, confirm that the issue is suciently addressed by other code standards; and, exempt needed housing (or residential development generally) from those criteria that are not clear and objective. 18.360.010 through 18.360.080 No changes are proposed to the following sections: • 18.360.010 Purpose • 18.360.020 Applicability of Provisions • 18.360.030 Approval Process • 18.360.040 Bonding and Assurances • 18.360.050 Major Modification(s) to Approved Plans or Existing Development • 18.360.060 Minor Modification(s) to Approved Plans or Existing Development • 18.360.070 Submission Requirements • 18.360.080 Exceptions to Standards Tigard Goal 10 Population and Housing Review Development Code Amendments Pa ge 7 Marrh 7 ,f111 Code Amendments Chapter 18.360 SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW Sections: 18.360.010 Purpose 18.360.020 Applicability of Provisions 18.360.030 Approval Process 18.360.040 Bonding and Assurances 18.360.050 Major Modification(s) to Approved Plans or Existing Development 18360.060 Minor Modification(s) to Approved Plans or Existing Development 18.360.070 Submission Requirements 18.360.080 Exceptions to Standards 18.360.090 Approval Criteria 18.360.010 through 18.360.080 [No change.] Tigard Goal 10 Population and Housing Review Development Code Amendments P. ny Marr-h 7 9111 Commentary 18.360.090 Approval Criteria While most of the SDR approval criteria appear to be clear and objective, some do appear to allow for more discretion. For residential uses, in some cases the existing standards (e.g., setbacks, landscaping and other standards in TDC 18.510, as well as standards for streets and utilities in TDC 18.810) may be sufficient to address the issue without the additional level of discretion provided by the approval criteria. Because all new residential development except for single - family detached units and duplexes are also subject to the Site Development Review (SDR) requirements, the following amendmetns to section 18.360.090 are being proposed to ensure the city is in compliance with ORS 197.307. 1. [No change.] 2. Relationship to the natural and physical environment This criterion may be too discretionary to be used for needed housing. There are other areas of the city's Development Code which provide more quantitative development standards addressing similar issues. For example, 18.510.050 which applies within residential zoning districts, is more clear and objective requiring mimimum lot sizes, setbacks, landscaping, etc. To ensure the city is in compliance with ORS requirements for clear and objective standards related to needed housing, text has been added to clarify that only nonresidential development must meet Criterion #2. 3. [No change.] Tigard Goal 10 Population and Housing Review Development Code Amendments n ^ ^° A Marrh 7 9011 Code Amendments 18.360.090 Approval Criteria A. Approval criteria. The Director shall make a finding with respect to each of the following criteria when approving, approving with conditions, or denying an application: 1. Compliance with all of the applicable requirements of this title including Chapter 18.810, Street and Utility Standards; 2. Relationship to the natural and physical environment — Non - residential development: a. Buildings shall be: (1) Located to preserve existing trees, topography and natural drainage where possible based upon existing site conditions; (2) Located in areas not subject to ground slumping or sliding; (3) Located to provide adequate distance between adjoining buildings for adequate light, air circulation, and fire - fighting; and (4) Oriented with consideration for sun and wind. b. Innovative methods and techniques to reduce impacts to site hydrology and fish and wildlife habitat shall be considered based on surface water drainage patterns, identified per Section 18.810.100.A.3. and the City of Tigard "Significant Habitat Areas Map." Methods and techniques for consideration may include, but are not limited to the following: (1) Water quality facilities (for infiltration, retention, detention and /or treatment); (2) Pervious pavement; (3) Soil amendment; (4) Roof runoff controls; (5) Fencing to guide animals toward safe passageways; (6) Re- directed outdoor lighting to reduce spill -off into habitat areas; (7) Preservation of existing vegetative and canopy cover. 3. Exterior elevations: a. Along the vertical face of single - family attached and multiple - family structures, offsets shall occur at a minimum of every 30 feet by providing any two of the following: (1) Recesses, e.g., decks, patios, entrances, floor area, of a minimum depth of eight feet; (2) Extensions, e.g., decks, patios, entrances, floor area, of a minimum depth of eight feet, a maximum length of an overhang shall be 25 feet; and Tigard Goal 10 Population and Housing Review Development Code Amendments n ^ ^° l\f. 7 7n1 Commentary 18.360.090 Approval Criteria, ctd. 4. Buffering, screening and compatibility between adjoining uses As noted previously, this criterion is may be too discretionary to be used for needed housing. Criterion #4 requires buffering between different types of land uses, for example, between single - family and multiple - family residential, and residential and commercial uses. However, what constitutes an "adequate" buffer is determined from considering a list of relatively subjective factors. To ensure the city is in compliance with ORS requirements for clear and objective standards related to needed housing, text has been added to clarify that only nonresidential development must meet Criterion #4. 5. Privacy and noise — Multifamily or group living uses This criterion is may be too discretionary to be used for needed housing. To ensure the city is in compliance with ORS requirements for clear and objective standards related to needed housing, and because the criterion relates only to residential uses (multifamily or group living uses), Criterion #5 is proposed for deletion.

Buffering, screening and compatibility between adjoining uses – Non - residential development: a. Non - residential development shall provide buffering Buffering h b ° ov between different types of land uses, for example, between ommercial and industrial uses and residential and commercial uses, and the following factors shall be considered in determining the adequacy of the type and extent of the buffer: (1) The purpose of the buffer, for example to decrease noise levels, absorb air pollution, filter dust, or to provide a visual barrier; (2) The size of the buffer required to achieve the purpose in terms of width and height; (3) The direction(s) from which buffering is needed; (4) The required density of the buffering; and (5) Whether the viewer is stationary or mobile. b. On site screening from view from adjoining properties of such things as service areas, storage areas, parking lots, and mechanical devices on roof tops, i.e., air cooling and heating systems, shall be provided and the following factors will be considered in determining the adequacy of the type and extent of the screening: (1) What needs to be screened; (2) The direction from which it is needed; (3) How dense the screen needs to be; (4) Whether the viewer is stationary or mobile; and (5) Whether the screening needs to be year around. 5.

As written the criterion is somewhat subjective and potentially ineffectual as it simply requires "consideration" of a greenway dedication suitable for a pedestrian/bicycle pathway. To ensure the city is in compliance with ORS requirements for clear and objective standards related to needed housing, text has been added to clarify that only nonresidential development must meet Criterion #8.

Workshop Meeting Meeting Date: 04/16/2013 Length (in minutes): 30 Minutes Agenda Title: Discuss Economic Development Strategy Prepared For: Marty Wine, City Manager Submitted By: Cathy Wheatley, Administrative Services Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff Meeting Type: Council Workshop Mtg. Public Hearing: No Publication Date: Information ISSUE What city-wide economic development strategies should Tigard pursue and in what timeframe? STAFF RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUEST No action is required. Council is requested to discuss and guide an economic development strategy for Tigard. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY Council will receive a briefing and asked to provide guidance for sequencing and priorities to implement a citywide economic development strategy and program. Council's 2008 adoption of Comprehensive Plan Goal 9 — Economy includes existing economic development vision, goals, policies and action measures. The City's Economic Opportunities Analysis completed in 2011 points toward specific areas of the local economy for focus. An overview of a draft strategy and economic development program will be presented that is based on the city's Comprehensive Plan's action measures, and the creation of an economic development manager position from an existing position vacancy who will be responsible for developing and implementing the economic development program. OTHER ALTERNATIVES Council could choose to maintain current efforts and choose not to create a more comprehensive strategy or devote the city's financial resources to furthering economic development efforts. Such a strategy would include partnerships with organizations such as the Tigard Area Chamber of Commerce, neighboring cities, and regional partners.
