Condition five stipulated that, "A detailed site plan indica- ting revised circulation, existing buildings, p'r'oposed building location, storage areas, screening and landscaping shall be approved by the Planning Commission within one year. " Commission Discussion and Action A. Mr. Hansen testified that his proposal should not be prejudged by Tigard Lumber Company' s failure to comply with the conditional use in that his proposal applies to a separate tax lot. He said that he would follow all city requirements for landscaping and beautification and felt that the proposed project would be an asset to the corner in question. B. Ball abstained from considering this item. C. Hartman stated that he appreciated the applicant' s position but could see no way that this project would be approved in light of the lack of compliance by the Tigard Lumber. He then moved to table the request according to the staff recommendation. Lewis seconded, but then withdrew .his second and Page 3 - PC Minutes November 20,; 1973 . ~ - ' _ \ ^ C 471c, � ` . er� ‘�� abstained in that he owns the neighboring � -�� apartment property.

The site is currently undeveloped ,being covered with brushy usgetetion and scattered trees. 2. rxsiting adjacent zoning is described as follows: easterly direction - Lamb-Weston complex, zoned C-P, Commercial Professional southerly direction Farmers Insurance, existing R-7, .Single Family Residential, Proposed P-0, Planned Development ; District for Offices and Motor > Hotel , westerly direction C-P, Commercial Professional, Lincoln Property Company northerly direction - R-7, Single Family Residential ki F.'t 3. Adjacent Land Use is described as follows: easterly direction Lamb-Weston research facility and related parking areas southerly direction - Farmer Insurance Building and intervening undeveloped wooded land 1 westerly direction - Lincoln Property Co. office complex under construction northerly direction - mixed single family homes and wooded areas 4. The subject site's existing R-7, Single Family Residential zoning does not conform to the City's Comprehensive Plan. The site is designated "Commercial-Residential" in the Tigard Community Plan and is intended to include "compatible office and business uses". The unadopted Tigard Triangle Plan designates the site as "office park' . The applicant's request for C-P, Commercial Professional zoning is in conformance with both the Tigard Community Plan and the Tigard Triangle Plan . 5. The applicant has established a community need for the requested change. This need is documented in a market analysis of the proposed use as sub- ;! mitted to the staff. 6. Changes in condition have occursd affecting the appropriateness of this site for the currently zoned residential use and rendering the site more suitable for the proposed use. These changes include the construction of State Highway 217, with its related noise, pollution and increased accessibility. Office development bo the east and west of the subject property are also changes in condition, rendering the property less suit able for single family residential use. 7. There are other parcels of land in Tigard zoned for the requested use. This land is along Pacific Highway and is not as readily accessible to Interstate 5 and State Highway 217 as the subject sits. Pacific Highway properties, appropriately , zoned for the proposed use, are either developed or are too small to be developed in the manner of an "office campus" • Page 2 Staff Report Lincoln Property Co. - 11-20-73 • ( 8. The proposed development will result in some .conflict with existing land use stemming from b 1 the land use transition caused by the changing t conditions in the area. These conflicts are 4 primarily with the scattered single family development north of Hampton and the Phil Lewis Elementary School west of S.W. 72nd Avenue. Secondarily, increased traffic will occur on 4 existing substandard streets, in some cases fronted by single family homes. 4 9. The site derives vehicular access from S.W. Hampton Street. Said street is designated as a collector street in the Tigard Community Plan. This street is not currently developed to City collector street standards. Businessmen within ' the Triangle and adjacent industrial areas have s retained a traffic consultant to determine a clearer picture of traffic circulation within the area. The staff is concerned about the capacity of S.W. Hampton Street to handle future peak hour flows from additional office complexes. 10. The sits is adequately served by utilities. Water 1 i available via an 8 inch line located on the A ( southerly side of S.W. Hampton Street. An 8 inch Tigard sewer line is also located in S.W. Hampton Street and is adanuate to serve the proposed loading. There is currently a moratorium on sewer c nftectisns in effect until such time as the 6f1isd 5mwere►ge Agency's Durham Sewerage i , Treatment Plant is operational. Some Commerical sewer pare, to romenin available, however, they may '=e c omp ot. 1 y ...alined when the applicant is prsp,eree to apply for a building permit. The . subject moratorium is temporary. Public funds have been committed to construct the Durham Plant and said facility is to be completed within two years, thus allowing the applicants proposal to be constructed within a reasonable period of time. 11. The Tigard Triangle Plan designates the right- of-way of S.W. 70th Avenue as a proposed pedes- trianway. The vacation of S.W, Irving Street, I' located on the southern edge of the site, blocked S.W. 70th Avenue from extending into t'he farmers Insurance Property. Farms r1s preliminary development plan for their proposed Planned Development District indicates a proposed pedeetrianway through their site and aligned with S.W. 70th Avenue. The !` ; 5 Page 3 - Staff Report Lincoln Property Co. - 11-20-73 F extension of this pedestrianway is desireable j to facilitate the flow of pedestrian and bicycles ,i through the Triangle area, as proposed by the t Triangle Plan. The provision of facilities for I{ � non-automobile transportation is important to the Triangle in view of proximitous living areas r t proposed to the north of the subject site and due to the bog range supply problems of gasoline and other motor vehicle fuels. t Staff Recommendation f' Approval of the applicant's request to change an ' existing R-7, Single Family Residential zone to a C-P, Commercial Professional zone, subject to the following conditions: !, 1 1. The ten feet of additional right-of-way adjacent S.W. Hampton Street be dedicated to the public so as to allow its development as ;' a boulevard, having a landscaped median strip. ` 2.
