SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Site History and Information:
The subject properties are located at 8830, 8826, 8820, 8816, and 8810 SW Spruce Street (WCTM
1S135AD, Tax lots 6600, 6700, 6800, 6900, and 7000); south of SW Spruce Street, and west of SW
Hall Boulevard. In February 2014, the original 0.44 site was approved for a five-lot subdivision
(Spruce Street Subdivision, Case No. SUB2013-00004). Tax lot 6600 is 3,844 square feet; tax lots
6700, 6800, and 6900 are 3,723 square feet; and tax lot 7000 is 3,856 square feet. The properties are
zoned Medium-Density Residential (R-12), as are properties to the north and south; properties to
the west are zoned High-Density Mixed Use Residential (MUR-1); and properties to the east are
zoned Moderate-Density Mixed Use Residential (MUR-2).
The applicant originally applied for Development Adjustments to reduce the minimum interior side
yard setback requirements for these properties in January 2014 (Case Nos. VAR2013-00011 to
VAR2013-00018). The City of Tigard Planning Division denied these adjustments for not meeting
approval criterion regarding the preservation of existing trees in development areas (MC
18.370.020.B.2.b).
Proposal Description:
The applicant is reapplying because the site conditions have changed. The request is for approval for
Development Adjustments to reduce the minimum interior side yard setback requirements for five
tax lots (WCTM 1S135AD,Tax lots 06600,06700,06800,06900,and 07000) from 5 feet to 4 feet.
SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
18.370 Variance and Adjustments
18.370.020 B. Development adjustments.
1. The following development adjustments will be granted by means of a Type I
procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.030, using approval criteria contained in
paragraph 2 of this subsection B:
a. Front yard setbacks. Up to a 25% reduction of the dimensional standards for the
front yard setback required in the base zone. Setback of garages may not be
reduced by this provision.
b. Interior setbacks. Up to a 20% reduction of the dimensional standards for the side
and rear yard setbacks required in the base zone.
c. Lot coverage. Up to 5% increase of the maximum lot coverage required in the base
zone.
The adjustment request is to reduce the minimum interior side yard setback requirements for
five tax lots (WCTM 1S135AD, Tax lots 06600, 06700, 06800, 06900, and 07000) from 5
feet to 4 feet(20%).Therefore,a Type I procedure is applicable for this request.
2. Approval criteria. A development adjustment shall be granted if there is a
demonstration of compliance with all of the applicable standards:
a. A demonstration that the adjustment requested is the least required to achieve the
desired effect;
V:\R2015-00003 TO VAR2015-00010 SPRUCE STREET VILLAGE 1)i?VI.LOPMIiNT;\IJUSTMI NI'S Page 2
The total width of all five lots is approximately 142 feet (each lot being approximately 28 to
29 feet wide). The applicant's desired effect for each lot is to create a building envelope that
can fit 20-foot wide dwellings,which will allow for a single-car garage and a front doorway
and window area similar in width to the garage. In order to achieve this with five lots, 20%
interior side yard setback reductions would be required (Five 20-foot dwellings + 8 feet for
each internal side yard = 132 feet + two 5-foot external side yards = 142 feet).This criterion
is met.
b. The adjustment will result in the preservation of trees, if trees are present in the
development area;
There are currently no trees present in the relevant development areas. When the
adjustments were first applied for, the site contained several oak trees, one of which could
have been preserved. Preservation would have required a four lot subdivision using the 20-
foot wide dwellings proposed. However, the applicant did not pursue tree preservation and
is not required to save trees under the urban forestry standards. Therefore, the change of
circumstance, removal of the trees, allows the adjustments to now be approved. This
criterion is met.
c.The adjustment will not impede adequate emergency access to the site;
The adjustments will not impede adequate emergency access to the site: emergency access
requires 6 feet between buildings, and the development adjustments will provide 8 feet
between buildings.This criterion is met.
d. There is not a reasonable alternative to the adjustment which achieves the desired
effect.
Due to the total width of all five lots, and the width of each individual lot, there is not a
reasonable alternative to the adjustments which achieves the desired effect to create 20-foot
wide dwellings,as demonstrated above.This criterion is met.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above,the adjustment approval criteria have been satisfied.

Spruce Village Setback Adjustment
Page 2 of 6
B. CITY OF TIGARD TITLE 18: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE
CHAPTER 18.370.020: ADJUSTMENTS
A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish two classes of special
variances:
1. "Development adjustments" which allow modest variation from required
development standards within proscribed limits. Because such
adjustments are granted using "clear and objective standards," these
can be granted by means of a Type I procedure, as opposed to the more
stringent standards of approval and procedure for variances.
2. "Special adjustments" which are variances from development standards
which have their own approval criteria as opposed to the standard
approval criteria for variances contained in Section 18.370.020.C.
COMMENT:
The applicant is requesting adjustments to interior side yard setbacks within the 20%
reduction allowed. Therefore, the proposed adjustments are a Type I development
adjustment.
B. Development adjustments.
1. The following development adjustments will be granted by means of a
Type I procedure, as governed by Section 18.390.030, using approval
criteria contained in paragraph 2 of this subsection B:
a. Front yard setbacks. Up to a 25% reduction of the dimensional
standards for the front yard setback required in the base zone.
Setback of garages may not be reduced by this provision.
b. Interior setbacks. Up to a 20% reduction of the dimensional
standards for the side and rear yard setbacks required in the base
zone.
c. Lot coverage. Up to 5% increase of the maximum lot coverage
required in the base zone.
COMMENT:
The applicant is requesting adjustments to interior side setbacks for five lots. The required
side setback in the R-12 zone is 5 feet. The applicant is requesting a 20% reduction to a 4
foot interior side yard setback. Depending on the lot this will either be one or two setback
adjustments.
2. Approval criteria. A development adjustment shall be granted if there is
a demonstration of compliance with all of the applicable standards:
a. A demonstration that the adjustment requested is the least required
to achieve the desired effect;

COMMENT:
The proposed 4' interior setbacks will allow for 8 feet between the proposed dwellings. The
proposed setbacks will maintain light, air, separation for fire protection, and access for
firefighting. The proposed side yard setback reductions are the least required for each of
the five lots with 20-foot wide dwellings. This criterion is satisfied.
b. The adjustment will result in the preservation of trees, if trees are
present in the development area;
COMMENT:
The proposed adjustment will not result in the preservation of any trees as there are no
trees in the house footprint areas to save. Therefore, this criterion is satisfied.
c. The adjustment will not impede adequate emergency access to the
site;
COMMENT:
The proposed side yard setback can allow for at least 6 feet between building walls, which
meets fire protection and access standards. This criterion is satisfied.
d. There is not a reasonable alternative to the adjustment which
achieves the desired effect.
COMMENT:
The side setback adjustments will allow for 20-foot wide dwellings on each of the five lots.
This is the desired effect for each lot (20-foot wide dwellings). The lots are 28 feet or 29
feet in width and these adjustments allow for the 20-foot wide dwelling. A 20-foot wide
dwelling will allow for a single-car garage and a front doorway and window area similar in
width to the garage. This criterion is satisfied.
