WORKSHOP RIVER TERRACE COMMUNITY PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
PLAN
Associate Planner Marissa Daniels gave an update on the public involvement plan for River
Terrace. She covered the following three items and then opened it up for discussion:
❑❑Th
Involvement.
❑❑ Details about the River Terrace Community Plan.
I:\LRPLN\Planning Commission\2012 Packets\101512-Briefing RT-PH DCA2012-00001&PH CPA2012-00001\tpc 101512 minutes.docx Page 1 of 10
❑❑ Described the contents of the public involvement plan.
She advised the commissioners that Sr. Planner, Darren Wyss,would be back in November
to give a comprehensive overview of the project. She noted that there would be Stakeholder
Working Group (SWG) meetings and that a Planning Commission member would be invited
to participate in that.The committee will act as an advisory body to staff and provide a
venue for citizen involvement opportunities in planning for River Terrace. The first message
was sent . Daniels noted that one of the benefits of
following from Washington County is that they passed to Tigard a list of over a 100 contacts
for this project. She added that the commissioners were welcome to join that listsery online
at the City website and noted that the first kick-off meeting for the project would be held
Wednesday, October 24th near the general River Terrace area at Deer Creek Elementary
School. She invited the Commissioners to attend and left postcards at the podium for them
to pick up if they wanted more information on that and wanted to attend.
Questions from the Commissioners of Daniels
What is the role of the River Terrace Community Plan as a whole?
they come through the legislative adoption process. Th (Exhibit
A). You can see there that different topics will come through at different times to the
Commission before the final adoption of the plan. Staff will keep the Commission updated
and engaged throughout so that they will be prepared for that process at those different
points.
Questions of Interim CD Director, Tom McGuire
Referring to the current staff issues-where does this pr jectfat in your priorities with everything else you
have going on with planning staff right now?This project is one of the
and one of their top priorities. We have Darren Wyss as the project manager and he will be
moving this forward. In addition, we hired a local land use consultant,John Spencer,who
will primarily help to manage the long range projects and assist me. So this project will move
forward. Darren will be here in November to update the Commission on the processes and
where this is going.
At this point, President Walsh took a quick poll of the audience and noted that a majority of
the people present were there for the Connectivity Agenda item. He decided to change the
agenda order and moved the public hearing on connectivity to the next order of business.
President Walsh opened the public hearing:

PUBLIC COMMENT
TESTIMONY IN FAVOR Alexander Craghead 12205 SW Hall Blvd Tigard 97223
Mr. Craghead is the chair of the City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC) and present on
behalf of the CCAC. He noted they had reviewed this quite thoroughly over several
meetings (and stated that that was an understatement).
represent an accumulation of over five years of effort on behalf of the CCAC to carve the
future transportation systems for downtown Tigard. The CCAC believes this plan achieves
connectivity goals and that the right amount of flexibility is built into the plan. He had
participated in the outreach of the property owners and heard the various concerns. He said
he saw response from staff addressing those concerns while still achieving the goals. In
closing, Craghead said the CCAC recommends the Planning Commission approve these
amendments.
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION

She and her husband own a 67 unit apartment building in the area. They are concerned
about the safety and security of the tenants if they have to have paths going through the

David Wilson 12375 SW Hall Blvd. Tigard 97223 Spoke in favor of the Scoffins
collector. He said you should actually call it the Hunziker collector because it would be part
of Hunziker. He believes it would reduce some of the cross traffic in front of Rite Aid and
Woodcrafters.
Owen Snyder 15400 SW Alderbrook Drive, Tigard
Mr. Snyder stated he owns some properties in the Scoffins realignment in area map #4
where it shows the connector being made with Hunziker. He had the following clarification
question: During that realignment, - what is the intended use of
the existing street?Farrelly answered him. No final decision has been made because we
- but a possible idea is that when that property is
purchased from the owner of that apartment building to purchase the
entire property and that abandoned ROW could be consolidated with the remaining
property to present a parcel big enough to redevelop. icular usage intended
at this time? Nothing definite has been decided, but a good viable option would be to swap
that ROW with that property owner to have a parcel that can be redeveloped.
CLOSED PUBLIC TESTIMONY
President Walsh then opened the meeting up for questions by the commissioners.
One of the commissioners commented that,if it goes through, she would like to see that
there will be some sort of help from the City for the owners of businesses to plan for
redevelopment. She believes the owners have some legitimate concerns. Cathy Corliss said
that all property owners would have to agree on whether the connections through the Rite-
Aid block takes place. not quite the same
as the way we would do in the viaduct.
There were some questions regarding the near term redevelopment problems that could be
created. The hope was that flexibility is built in of what could be done. Farrelly noted this is
a discretionary process and that there is flexibility for line adjustments. There was a question
of CCAC Chair Craghead as to whether he believes there is flexibility built into the plan.
Craghead said what the CCAC is looking for is clarity because a lot of developers are not
going to because
not a benefit. In this
e noted there appears to be no concern
about having flexibility.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
DELIBERATIONS
President Walsh asked the commissioners their thoughts on this.
Commissioner Doherty noted that this is not a connectivity plan that has just been thrown
together. She mentioned that Chair Craghead had noted the five years of planning and
discussions that had gone on. She is confident the City would work with the people who
I:\LRPLN\Planning Commission\2012 Packets\101512-Briefing RT-PH DCA2012-00001&PH CPA2012-00001\tpc 101512 minutes.docx Page 4 of 10
brought up concerns down the road if, indeed, it gets to the point that the connectivity
had a tremendous amount of input. But again I would want the City to work with people
who have issues.
Commissioner Shavey believes this vision is a pretty strong picture of what can and may
very well happen in downtown and thinks the Commission should make this
recommendation to Council.
Commissioner Muldoon recommends a change on the Rite-Aid block simply list the end
points and let that connectivity be determined as the redevelopment happens.
Commissioner Anderson believes this is a good plan overall. There are no priorities listed
on the streets and, if there were, he believes the two pieces that were talked about tonight
would be low priority and probably among the last to be implemented. He believes that
certainly the ones on Main Street and connecting some of the alleys are obvious and should
be written in stone. He thinks putting end points would be good let the developer work
with the City to determine the street lines.
Commissioner Rogers is generally happy with this but is a bit concerned about the
Woodcraft building. He thinks it affects that particular owner on two sides of their building
Commissioner Schmidt would hate to burden any property owner with a condition like
that that would affect their current value much less what it would be 20 or 30 years down
the road.
Commissioner Fitzgerald appreciates the 5 years of work getting to this point. She thinks
this could energize Tigard and put it on the path to having a really livable downtown
community. She has two exceptions: she would like a piece of language to be readjusted a
little differently. She would also like Tom McGuire to be a little more specific on how the
code language could be addressed. That code language piece would help the Woodcraft
out affecting the
overall draft.
President Walsh likes the plan overall but has near term concerns. Are we creating a
burden for the existing landowners? He hopes there is flexibility and thinks there is. He
would like to see a softer line across the Rite Aid area and not having as defined a pathway
as now and he also has concerns in that large block where the Thompson property is.
President Walsh said he would reopen the hearing so he can hear from Tom McGuire and
get some guidance on how to do that.
PUBLIC HEARING REOPENED
President Walsh asked Tom McGuire Is it possible to amend the language and pass this tonight
McGuire said i be a challenge to have the exact language as an amendment
tonight.
President Walsh suggested that they take a recess from this hearing so McGuire and Cathy
Corliss can get together and talk about this while the next public hearing takes place. They
would then bring it back to the Commissioners at which time they would reopen the
I:\LRPLN\Planning Commission\2012 Packets\101512-Briefing RT-PH DCA2012-00001&PH CPA2012-00001\tpc 101512 minutes.docx Page 5 of 10
hearing. McGuire and the Commissioners agreed this was a good idea. President Walsh also
decided that they would take a six minute break before the next public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED (to be reopened following the next public hearing.)
SIX MINUTE RECESS
PUBLIC HEARING FOR PROJECTIONS OPENED
PUBLIC HEARING DCA2012-00001 PROJECTIONS INTO REQUIRED
YARDS
REQUEST: Amend Chapter 18.730.050.D of the Community Development Code to
allow, in the R-12 Zone, bay windows and pop outs with floor area to project into required
side yards by one foot provided they do not: a) exceed 12 feet in length, b) contain over
30% of the dwelling unit side elevation square footage, and c) the width of the approved side
yard is not reduced to less than 3 feet. LOCATION: Citywide. ZONE: R-12.
QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING STATEMENTS
President Walsh read the required statements and procedural items from the quasi-judicial
hearing guide. There were no challenges of the commissioners for bias or conflict of interest.
Ex-parte contacts: None. Site visitations: None; No challenges of the jurisdiction of the
commission; no conflicts of interest.
STAFF REPORT
Gary Pagenstecher,Associate Planner,presented the staff report. [The staff report is available one
week before the hearing.]
STAFF ANALYSIS:
As demonstrated in the application and the findings in the staff report, the proposed
amendment complies with the applicable state planning goals, City Comprehensive Plan
The code amendment anticipates narrow lot subdivisions in the R-12 zone while maintaining
BLI there are 30 lots over 10,000 square feet in size totaling 35.46 acres. The West Bull Mt.
Community Plan designates approximately 70 gross acres as medium density residential,
which includes the R-7, 12, and 25 zones, some portion of which will likely be zoned R-12
under the River Terrace planning process.
The Exceptions to Development Standards chapter already allows projections into required
yards. However, the proposed amendment would dramatically expand the potential impact
of those projections from minor architectural features to up to 30% of the side elevation.
Whereas these impacts may be acceptable to buyers of new homes on narrow lots, the
impact to existing residents on adjacent properties may be perceived as more adverse. To
limit potential adverse impacts, staff recommends projections be limited to yards interior to
the subdivision.
I:\LRPLN\Planning Commission\2012 Packets\101512-Briefing RT-PH DCA2012-00001&PH CPA2012-00001\tpc 101512 minutes.docx Page 6 of 10
The purpose of the Exceptions to Development Standards is to provide more flexible
setback standards designed to allow for the maximum use of land and to allow for a varied
building layout pattern while ensuring there will be adequate open space, light, air and
distance between buildings to protect public health and safety. The 2011 Oregon Residential
Specialty Code requires a minimum fire separation distance of three feet from the property
line. The proposed code amendment would limit projections with floor area into required
yards to this minimum.
Staff recommends the following amended language (page 6, staff report):
5. In the R-12 Zone, bay windows and pop-eats projections with floor area may
project into required interior side and street side yards by one foot provided they do
not: a) exceed 12 feet in length, b) contain over 30% of the dwelling unit side
elevation square footage, and c) the width of the approved interior side yard is not
reduced to less than 3 feet.
APPLICANT TESTIMONY Ryan 0 rien 1862 NE Estate Drive, Hillsboro, OR
believes R12 is the zone he City of Hillsboro
allows it in all zones. It helps the interior of the houses look much better. Also the
elevations of street side corner lots look a lot better with the pop-outs and bay windows.
0 rien mentioned that Mark Dane was planning on being there to testify on behalf of this,
. He will submit his testimony of support in
writing at a later time.
QUESTIONS/COMMENTS
Would this add sales value to these designs?
President Walsh added that he believed the application package was outstanding and that it
was very helpful to the commissioners.
TESTIMONY IN FAVOR
Katie Patterson, 2005 NW 119th, Portland 97029 represents two different builders, Sage
Built Homes and Greenwood Homes. Ms. Patterson stated that Sage Built has an ownership
at the Everett Terrace Subdivision which is 14 lots on 96th and Greenburg right across
from the Everett Homes Subdivision of Solera, and that Solera did build with these popouts
even though they were not technically approved - and all of those houses were approved by
the City of Tigard. She stated that she thinks the standard has already been set and that this
is something that aesthetically looked fine. Ms. Patterson is in favor in large part because she
believes that what looks to be a very small change (1 foot) on the outside of the house, can
make a huge difference with regard to livability on the inside. She stated that areas like dining
rooms may have a 6 8 foot table that typically fit a smaller room - so the pop outs
can make a big difference in that regard. The interior really makes a difference.
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION - None
TESTIMONY CLOSED

PUBLIC HEARING REOPENED AT 9:37pm
Tom McGuire, Sean Farrelly, and Cathy Corliss had been discussing possible solutions to the
issues the Commission had wanted them to talk about. Farrelly addressed the Rite-Aid
property solution; the solution being a redrawing of the line to be more curved so the
property would be affected on one side only.
There was lengthy discussion about the other issues which President Walsh summarized at
the end as follows:
❑❑The ADA is needs to be addressed as specified by staff.
❑❑Come up with a different concept for the line in front of Rite-Aid and how it finishes
off on the far side around the Woodcraft property.
❑❑Staff will draft some language and add it so that it would handle any catastrophic
❑❑Leave the pedestrian/bicycle access alone. Leave as is.
At this point, Sean Farrelly reminded the Commission that they would also need to address
the things that had come up at the Council workshop that had been outlined in his
PowerPoint presentation. Farrelly reminded them of the four suggestions:
An alley along the park and ride that connects to new street through Public Works
For Tigard/Burnham connection, straighten out. Put into a different classification
(desired connection if the viaduct is reconstructed).
I:\LRPLN\Planning Commission\2012 Packets\101512-Briefing RT-PH DCA2012-00001&PH CPA2012-00001\tpc 101512 minutes.docx Page 8 of 10
Footnote to allow flexible design standards for the street near Fanno Creek park.
Reduced ROW, pervious pavers. (This would have to be fleshed out at Council the
question would be are you, in concept, okay with that suggestion.)
Curve new street that goes through City Hall and Verizon.
Farrelly said in concept if the Commission is comfortable with those suggestions they
would be fleshed out at Council.
None of the Commissioners had issue with those suggestions so they were ready to make a
motion.
MOTION
The following motion was made by Commissioner Muldoon, seconded by Commissioner
Fitzgerald:
City Council of application CPA2012-00001 & DCA2012-00002 as amended with four
amendments: first, where staff will add catastrophic event language addressing fire
and similar issues; second, that the line in the designated property [Woodcraft] be
adjusted as projected by staff; third, that the ADA language be addressed as specified
by staff; and last, that four adjustments be fleshed out with staff with the Council and
that would otherwise be approved as contained in the staff report and based on the
testimony provided tonight.
The motion CARRIED on a recorded vote; the Commission voted as follows:
AYES: Commissioner Anderson; Commissioner Doherty;
Commissioner Fitzgerald; Commissioner Muldoon;
Commissioner Rogers; Commissioner Schmidt; Commissioner
Shavey, and President Walsh
NAYS: None.
ABSTAINERS: None.
ABSENT: Commissioner Ryan
President Walsh asked staff to send an email out to the Commission when the language is
drafted. This will go to City Council on December 11th.
CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING ON DOWNTOWN CONNECTIVITY PLAN
CODE AMENDMENT PROJECT
COMMUNICATIONS
There was a brief report by Vice President Anderson on his meeting with the Tigard
Population and Housing Review committee. The first meeting included a consultant who
talked about what our housing is today in Tigard and what we need to do and address.
I:\LRPLN\Planning Commission\2012 Packets\101512-Briefing RT-PH DCA2012-00001&PH CPA2012-00001\tpc 101512 minutes.docx Page 9 of 10
Basically, he said "we're in pretty good shape with zoning and land. We just need to address
maybe some lower income housing. We'll talk about this at the next meeting."
Commissioner Muldoon had come up with a presentation that he would like to present to
Council regarding business clusters and economic development. He asked the Commission
to take a look at it. (He'd distributed it to them earlier.) President Walsh said the Planning
Commission would need to take a look at it before Commissioner Muldoon presented it—
so they could give feedback to him. Muldoon would eventually like to engage council in a
workshop format so they can have discussion on it. President Walsh would like to invite
Councilor Woodard, as the Planning Commission's Council liaison, to come in to talk to the
Commission about economic development and then have a discussion with Council—
perhaps at the meeting when Greater Portland Inc. (the consultant who had to cancel at the
last minute but would reschedule to another date) would be there. President Walsh asked
that whoever attends the joint Council workshop the next evening would bring back
information for the Planning Commission as to what had transpired.
OTHER BUSINESS
Tom McGuire reminded the commissioners that November would be the annual revisiting
of development of Council Goals for next year. He reminded the Commissioners to start
thinking about that now. It's on the agenda for the November 5th meeting. He asked that
they think about what they'd like to recommend to Council for their suggestions for Council
Goals for 2013 and then talk about it at the next meeting in November.
President Walsh asked Doreen Laughlin if she would be responsible to get a simple matrix
out to everybody before the next meeting so they'd have something to think about. He
wanted the matrix to list the Council's goals, the Planning Commission's suggested goals,
and show what the progress is on them. She agreed to do that.

community. This includes a series of community open houses throughout the process, as
well as a citizen advisory committee and technical advisory committee.
In addition to land use, the City Council will need to approve a River Terrace financial plan
which will help pay for the construction of required new infrastructure and its operations and
maintenance. This may include changes to development charges for parks, storm water
management, sanitary sewers, water, and transportation improvements. It will also be
important to address whether or not other special assessments will be needed for land use
and building permits, as well as utility rates to ultimately recoup the investment the city
makes in completing the community plan.

Redevelopment = project valued at 60% or less than its total current
value as assessed by the Washington County assessor
Preserve the potential for a future connectivity improvement
No new buildings within future alignment
Surface parking, landscaping, temporary structures, driveways and
similar types of development are allowed

Proposed Amendments to
Chapter 18 . 370
Adjustments to Connectivity Standards
Type II procedure
Criteria:
Equally or better meet downtown design principles outlined in the TSP
Applying the standards would preclude all reasonable economic use of
the site
Potential for a future connection is preserved
No adverse impact on natural features such as wetlands, bodies of
water, significant habitat areas, steep slopes, or existing mature trees
Rough Proportionality
18.810.020 General Provisions
A. When standards apply. Unless otherwise provided,
construction, reconstruction or repair of streets, sidewalks,
curbs and other public improvements shall occur in
accordance with the standards of this title. No development
may occur and no land use application may be approved
unless the public facilities related to development comply
with the public facility requirements established in this
section and adequate public facilities are available. Applicants
may be required to dedicate land and build required public
improvements only when the required exaction is directly
related to and roughly proportional to the impact of the
development.
