o Ken Justik, for Oregon Beverage Services, gave
background on Pop Shoppes. He said that 85 to 250
cars per day come to the present location of the
PoP Shoppe. He expects 125 to 400 cars per day at
the proposed site. The site was chosen because it
is a high-traffic area. Regarding traffic safety,
he stated that there are no problems at the present
site, and he anticipates no problem at the proposed
site . Regarding environmental aspects, the Pop
Shoppe complies with all Oregon state laws, i .e. ,
smell, noise, water, and sewer. Regarding storage,
it will all be in the building. The site plan is
tentative, and they will work with Planning staff
on location of building, landscaping, etc.

6. Other Business:
6. 1 Similar Use Interpretation Presentation : Western Racquet Club
A. Staff Report :
Bolen presented the question of whether a racket club
could be considered as a drive-in theater. If SO, then
it could be considered for conditional use in a M-3,
light industrial zone . He recommends approval of simi-
lar use .
B. Commission Discussion and Action :
.
o Sakata thinks the logic is funny to compare a drive-
in theater to a racket club. She doesn 't see it as
similar because racket club is not open air.
o Wood thinks the matter shouldn 't be discussed with-
out the applicant present . He said drive-in movies
require large spaces and nighttime darkness, so are
put in an industrial zone. They can 't go into a
commercial zone. He doesn 't see why racket clubs
couldn 't go into a commercial zone.
o Bolen said the answer was that a large enough parcel
was not available.
o Tepedino said that since the applicant wasn 't here,
the Planning Commission shouldn't consider it,
o Bolen said it was just a case of the Planning Corn-
mission interpreting their own code,
o Popp and Tepedino said they didn 't see any similar-
ity between a racket club and a drive-in Movie.
o Goldbach said he thought approval depended on loca-
tion.

o Bolen said he couldn 't let them apply for a condi-
tional use unless the Planning Commission gave him
a green light that it is a similar use to the al-
lowed conditional use.
o Wood suggested that a certain amount of land is re-
served for industrial use by the zoning code and
that perhaps recreational uses should not cut into
this amount.
Wood moved and Moore seconded to table so that appli- E'
cant could appear at Planning Commission meeting.

Fowler Junior High School - Lecture Room
10865 S.W. Walnut Street - Tigard, Oregon
Docket : Zone Change ZC 32-77
Request : For a zone map amendment to change the zoning designation
from Washington County Zoning "RS-l" to City of Tigard "R-
7, Single Family Residential" for a 1.77 acre parcel
Location : 9220 S.W. Durham Road (Wash. Co. Tax Map 2S1 14A, Tax Lot
400)
Applicant : Melvin McBride
•
I . Findings of Fact :
1. The applicant is requesting the application of the City of
Tigard zoning ordinance to a recently annexed, January 18,
1977, 1. 77 acre parcel designated "Urban Low Density Residen-
tial" on the Tigard Community Plan, 1971.
2. City of Tigard Ordinance 77-20 (February 28, 1977) directs
the Planning Commission to conduct such proceedings as may
be necessary to conform the authorized zoning and land use
of the parcel to the requirements of the City's zoning map
and code.
3. The applicable policy from the Tigard Community Plan, 1971,
is as follows :
The maximum overall density of development will be four dwel-
ling units or 12 persons per gross acre. This amounts to a I'
standard of 7, 500 square feet of land per dwelling unit al-
lowing for streets and other open space . Some areas will
have a lower density owing to topography, existing develop-
ment patterns or the desire of individuals to own a larger
lot .
II . Staff Observations:
1. The site is a flat , open field with the exception of a few
deciduous trees and an older home which occupies the front
portion of the parcel . Surrounding land uses are single
family homes to the west and north, the Kneeland Estates
subdivision (undeveloped at this time) to the south, and
across S.W. 92nd and to the east the Tigard High School
site.
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA 5.2
f TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION
September 6, 1977

2. Water service is available to the site via an eight inch
line in S .W. 92nd and a 12 inch line in S .W, Durham Road.
Sewerage service is also available from a 12 inch line in
Durham Road.
3. S.W. 92nd is in substandard condition and lacking in the
necessary right-of-way of 60 feet. However, this additional
right-of-way will be needed on the east side of 92nd, and,
therefore, at such time as the school district makes appli-
cation to expand on their site, dedication of the additional
footage necessary will be required of the school district .
III . Conclusionary Findings :
1. There exists a public need to apply City of Tigard zoning to
all parcels of land in the city in order to ease the admin-
istration of land use regulations.
2. The proposed R-7 zoning district is compatible with the sur-
rounding zoning and conforms to the "Urban Low Density Resi-
e , dential" policies of the Tigard Community Plan, 1971, in
that it limits the maximum overall density to four dwelling
units per acre.
3. The R-7 zoning is the most appropriate designation due to
there being no apparent development constraints and the
need to efficiently utilize buildable lands in the urban
area.
IV. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval with the following condition:
1. File with the City Recorder an agreement not to remonstrate
against a Local Improvement District for street improvements
to S.W. 92nd Avenue.

Docket : Conditional Use CU 22-77
Request : To operate a drive-thru window for a proposed McDonalds
restaurant in a C-3M, "Main Street Commercial" zone
Location: S .W. Main and Scoffins Streets (Wash. Co. Tax Map 2S1 2AA,
Tax Lot 903)
Applicant : McDonalds Corporation
I . Findings :
1. The site is designated "Retail Commercial" on the Neighbor-
hood Planning Organization No. 1 Plan and zoned C-3M P.D. ,
"Main Street Commercial-Planned Development" .
2, On November 10, 1975, the Tigard City Council approved a
planned unit development (Payless Shopping Center) on a
7.28 acre parcel at S.W. Main and Scoffins Streets. In-
;., eluded as a part of the approved plan was the provision for
future leasable areas as designated on the site plan and
indicated in the applicant ' s program narrative. The appli-
cant is proposing to use one of these "lease areas" so that
he may construct a McDonalds restaurant with a drive-thru
window on an approximately 16 ,250 square foot lot in the
southwest corner of the planned development .
3. In a C-3M zone a drive-in business offering goods and serv-
ices directly to customers waiting in parked motor vehicles
requires conditional use permit approval by the Planning
Commission.
4. The site is a flat parcel with two large cedar trees lo-
cated approximately within the center of the site. The ap- f`
plicant site plan gives no indication of whether or not
these trees are to be retained. It would appear that
these trees would have to be removed in order to avoid im-
pairing the movement of traffic as proposed, on the site
plan . Surrounding land use to the west and across Scoffins
Street is the U.S . Bank building; to the north and across
Main Street is One Hour Martinizing; and the Payless Shop-
ping Center is to the east and south.

5. The site plan envisions the drive-thru service lane wrap-
ping around the perimeter of the site with parking for ap-
proximately 14 cars. Customer parking for walk-in traffic
will be located within the interior portion of the parcel .
Additional off-street parking within the planned develop-
ment is being provided through a contract arrangement with.
the Payless Shopping Center.
6. In order to accommodate the proposed drive-thru service
lane as shown and not be in violation of code requirements,
the applicant would be required to apply for the following
variances to the zoning code .
a. A variance to Section 18. 58.060 (Standards and Criteria
D2(d) . In a commercial zone the front ten feet from
the streeting right-of-way is to be landscaped. The
applicant is showing a five foot encroachment into this
area to accommodate the queuing lane.
b. A variance to Section 18.58.060 (Standards and Criteria
t D,2(d)2. Tree and shrub planting areas of a minimum of
eight feet in width within parking areas shall be pro-
vided and maintained at approximately 70 feet on center
each way or an aggregate amount . There is no indica-
tion on the site plan of this requirement being met .
c. A variance to Section 18.60.160 (Access Minimum stand-
ards for off-street parking 90 degree angle from curb) .
Stall wiath shall be nine feet six inches; overall chan-
nel width shall be 19 feet . The applicant has shown
stalls varying from nine feet by 17 feet to nine feet
by 18 feet, with one stall being 9. 5 feet by 19 feet.
7. Staff has requested the Public Works Department to make a
determination as to whether or not the existing radius re
turn in the southeast corner of the site and the location
of the proposed curb cut for the site access/egress will
function as designed.
The Engineering Department 's finding was that, when ap
proaching . the shopping center from the Main Street access
driveway and. turning_.the .corner (at that point where the ac-
cess driyeway from Scoffins Street intersects the Main, ;<
Street driveway): and heading in a westerly direction in or-a
der to .enter the site, the right front wheel of a vehicle
(in this case the City van) would touch. the westernmost
corner of

the curb cut . In other words, the maneuver could not be
accomplished based on the applicant 's submitted proposal .
It is staff's opinion that the curb cut would have to be
shifted approximately 20 feet more or less to the west to
accommodate the necessary turning movement for vehicles en-
tering the site . As a result of relocating the curb cut,
there would be a direct conflict between the proposed loca-
tion of the parking bays and the access driveway into the
site and, correspondingly, effect accessibility to the
drive-thru lane.
Staff acknowledges the fact that access can be gained from
the Scoffins Street entrance, but, by having this serve as
the primary access point and placing all the emphasis on
this approach, it would tend to further impact from a traf-
fic standpoint what may become a difficult situation as
•
the result of the introduction of a signalized intersection
•
at Scoffins and Main Streets.
8. Section 18.60. 1.50(b) of the Tigard Municipal Code states :
e`y "Service drives shall be designed and constructed to facili-
tate the flow of traffic, provide maximum safety of traffic
access and egress and maximum safety of pedestrians and ve-
hicular traffic on the site. "
9. Staff is concerned with that portion of the queuing lane
that fronts along the north property line and how it would
relate to the east bound traffic on Main Street . During
g
the evening hours of operation, the light ht from the head-
lights
of those cars using the drive-thru window would tend
to confuse a motorist moving in an easterly direction.
This problem could be rectified to a certain degree through
the installation of effective landscape screening. However,
at that point (intersection of Scoffins and Main Streets)
where the impact of the headlights would appear to be the
greatest, an additional problem arises . Section 18.12.100,
Yard Requirement Exceptions, of the Tigard Municipal Code
states "vision clearance areas shall be maintained at all
intersections of public streets. The vision clearance area
shall be not less than 20 feet on a side except arterial
streets ; it shall be not less than 35 feet on a side . Ex-
cept for occasional tree trunks and poles, these areas
shall be maintained without obstruction of any kind for a
vertical distance of between three and eight feet above
ground. "

Staff is not convinced that effective landscape screening
could be installed to rectify what may be a potential haz-
ardous
condition and at the same time not result in an en-
croachment into the vision clearance cone.
10. The applicant 's attached narrative, "Fazano requirements" ,
states "that drive-thru windows have been extremely popular
with our patrons from a convenience standpoint and also sig-
nificantly eases the parking burden for our stores and the
adjacent parking areas. " Staff can appreciate the appli-
cant 's desire to lessen the parking burden on their stores
and adjacent areas; however, staff feels the applicant has
failed to demonstrate that a community need would be met as
the result of a drive-thru service window being provided at
this location .
II . Staff Recommendation :
Based on the above findings, staff recommends denial .

AGENDA 5.4
TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION
September 6, 1977 - 7:30 p.m.
Fowler Junior High School - Lecture Room
10865 S.W. Walnut Street - Tigard, Oregon
Docket: Conditional Use CU 24-77
Request: To operate a retail sales and bottling facility in a "C-3
General Commercial Zone"
Location: 11552 S.W. Pacific Highway (Villa Ridge) (Wash. Co. Tax
Map 1S1 36DA, Tax Lot 900)
Applicant: Oregon Beverage Services
I. Findings of Fact:
1 . The site is designated "General Commercial" on the Tigard
Community Plan, 1971 and zoned C-3 "General Commercial".
2. On August 16, 1977, the applicant requested a similar use
interpretation by the Planning Commission that a pop shoppe
was similar to those uses permitted as conditional uses
within a C-3 zone. The Commission determined that the pop
shoppe did meet this criteria and went on record that the
pop shoppe would be a conditional use in the C-3 zone.
II. Staff Observations:
1 . The northern portion of the parcel is flat with two struc-
tures located toward the front of the site. One of these
buildings will be retained and used for lease purposes.
The southern half of the lot drops off sharply and down
into a natural. drainage Swale. The applicant has no imme-
diate plans for the development of this area.
Surrounding property to the west is Mark 50 Machinery; to
the north and across Pacific Highway is the Fred Meyer
Shopping Center; to the east Rasmussen's Chevron Service;
and to the south the O.F.A. complex.
2. The applicant is proposing to construct a 16,000 square
foot building in the northwest corner of the site. Within
the confines of the building the applicant proposes to use
2,500 square feet of floor area for retail sales; 20500
square feet would be a production area for mixing and bot-
tling of the product; and the remaining 10,000 to 11 ,000
square feet would be for storage and administrative of-
fices.

3. The Pop Shoppe is currently operating a retail outlet in
the Fred Meyer Shopping Center across Pacific Highway from
the proposed site. The operation of the existing business
will be discontinued at such time as the new store becomes
operational.
4. During testimony received at the August 16., 1977 Planning
Commission meeting, the applicant stated that 30 percent of
the product was being sold on their other sites, but with
the new location that could reach 50 percent; the remainder
would be distributed, with the average number of trucks per
day being between zero to five. Hours for retail sales
would be 10:00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. (summer) and 10:00 a.m. to
7:00 p.m. (winter). Hours for summer bottling would be
7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight (summer) and 7:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. (winter).
5. Access to and from the site would be on Villa Ridge (a
frontage road that parallels Pacific Highway) . The site is
approximately midway between the north and south egress of
Villa Ridge with Pacific Highway, which lessens the impact
on traffic entering the frontage road or attempting to merge
into the Pacific Highway flow.
6. Over the last several years a transition has taken place in
the type of business that had previously occupied sites
along the frontage road. What before was essentially an
industrially oriented mixture of uses is now undergoing a
change to commercial retail. The proposed use would be in
keeping with this trend, as well as meeting the objectives
of the Community Plan as it pertains to site accessibility
and minimizing the inherent conflict between the safe,
rapid movement of through traffic and shopper traffic on
major streets.
III. Staff Recommendation:
Based on findings of fact and staff observations, staff recom-
mends approval.

TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION
September 6, 1977 - 7: 30 p.m.
Fowler Junior High School - Lecture Room
10865 S.W. Walnut Street - Tigard, Oregon
Docket : Conditional Use CU 12-72
Request : For extension of a conditional use permit for a gymnastic
school in a M-4 , Industrial Park zone
Location : 9800 S.W. Tigard Street (Wash. Co . Tax Map 2S1 2BA, Tax
Lot 300)
Applicant : Tigard Gymnastic School
I . Findings:
1. The site is designated "Industrial" on the Neighborhood
Planning Organization #2 Plan and zoned "M-4, Industrial
Park" .
2. A conditional use permit for the Tigard School of Gymnas-
tics was approved on September 19, 1972, by the Tigard Plan-
ning Commission under the condition that it be limited to
one year and then may be extended with Planning Commission
approval.
3. On September 18, 1973, the matter was heard by the Tigard
Planning Commission and a two year renewal was granted.
Apparently the entire four year renewal period asked was
not granted due to some reservations concerning the appro-
priate continuation of the school in that location as the
Industrial Park continues to expand and fill available va-
cant space.
• 4. On October 7, 1975, the Tigard Planning Commission approved
a request for the renewal of a conditional use permit to
operate a gymnastic school for two years, expiration date
September 30, 1977.
5. The applicant is again requesting the renewal of a condi-
tional use permit to operate the school, this time for a
period of five years so that the conditional use permit
may run concurrently with a five year lease arrangement
with the owner of the property.
6. The location of the school in the project has been changed
since the conditional use was originally granted in 1972.

The move was in 1974 to the second building to be built in
Tigard Industrial Park. The gymnastic school faces Tigard
Street and is at the end of the buildin g where conflicts
do not occur with the industrial traffic serving the proj-
ect .
7. Staff is aware of no particular difficulty caused by the
school 's operation in this location since the last renewal
of the conditional use permit was granted by the Commis-
sion .
The daily parking demand for this use does not appear to
conflict with the parking needs of the remaining businesses
within the industrial park. However, there have been oc-
casions when athletic meets held during the weekday have
saturated the available parking required for the school .
II . Staff Recommendation :
Staff recommends approval for the renewal of the conditional
use permit for a period of five years. Expiration date Sept-
ember 30, 1982.

Dear Mr. Bolen,
In reference to property located in the City of
Tigard in M-3 Industrial zoning, we request a judgement
to the effect that indoor racquet clubs would be inter-
preted as a similar use to drive-in theaters, which are
designated under oonditonal use in the M-3 zone.
Drive-in theaters and rao}luet ball clubs are both
entertainment facilities designed for use by the general
public and therefore should be considered similar.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this request.
