C. Public Testimony:

D. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit
for six duplex lots subject to approval of a final sub-
division plat for Tax Lots 3900 and 4000.
E. Commission Discussion and Action:
o Popp asked staff exactly what NPO 2 proposed for the
area.
o Laws said they proposed osed single family residential,
but duplexes are allowed in areas deemed appropri-
ate at intersections or as a buffer between multi-
family and single family.
o Sakata made presentation as a resident of area. She
referred to the three-story apartme nt house,
Villa
La Paz that came in under false pretenses. She said
other developers are using this as an excuse for
further development. The neighborhood wanted to
preserve the character of the single family neighbor-
hood. Neighborhood 2 has highest proportion of multi-
family units already.
She referred to the language of NPO 2 plan.
The area has enough multi-family dwellings.
o Wood is bothered by the salvage yard. He doesn't
see how someone could build a single family house
next to a salvage yard. It would not be a good in-
vestment. It's a matter of salability.
o Corliss is for the proposal.
o Brian understands Sakata's concern but is concerned
about what is allowable. It does buffer between
salvage yard and apartments.
o Goldbach asked what is going on in salvage yard.

o Laws said they bring metal to site and resell.
o Mike Stans stated he owned the property the salvage `',
yard was on and answered that industrial activities,
repairs, welding, and storage e are the activities in
a .
the yard. He said salvage storage does not make a
pleasant site, but they've been there a long time.
He said the D.E.Q. should investigate because of ''
burning going on on the site.
o Goldbach also sees problem of salability of a single
family next to a salvage yard.
o Moore said it seems that our emphasis is on an ob-
1 noxious neighbor; therefore, we are spreading what
the neighborhood doesn't want. The real problem is
the salvage yard. If the NPO had wanted multi-fam-
ily there they would have designated it as such.
o Sakata stated that NPO 2 Plan states that the real
estate market should not be a factor in the develop-
ii,_.. ment and that the neighborhood should be protected. ,
o Wood said there is no non-remonstrance agreement in
staff recommendation. Should there be one? ff
o Laws said that that would come later--in their sub- f
division conditions.
o Wood asked if we approved duplexes here, could the
developer take advantage of zoning and build attached
single family or would they have to come back? ' ';
o Laws said that, based on a decision the Planning ;:
Commission made about three months ago on a condi-
tional use by Hallberg Homes, which sparked the re--
vision in the R-7 zone as it applied to duplexes,
we can approve duplexes now based on current law;
but if the changes are adopted by Council you have
the opi on to come back and build attached units on
previously approved duplex lots. ;i
o Moore said if this is a buffer, why must all be du !'`,
plex; some could be single family.

o Laws said transition in land use should occur at
rear lot lines, as opposed to across the street.
o Wood asked if NPO 2 has had discussion on this item.
o Laws answered that all the NPO chairmen receive no-
tice, but NPO 2 membership is down--only two to three
active members at this time.
o Popp said he understands Sakata's concern, but he is
also concerned with existing uses. Duplex develop-
ment is more suitable in there. Single family would
have trouble being sold. It serves as a good buffer.
Brian moved and Wood seconded for approval based on
findings of staff and with staff recommendation.
There was a roll call vote five to two for approval:
For: Popp, Goldbach, Corliss, Wood, Brian

gard Street frontage.
E. Commission Discussion and Action:
Moore moved and Goldbach seconded for approval based on
staff findings and with staff recommendations.
o Brian asked if the applicant is the leasee of property
and has the owner agreed to improvements.
o Laws answered that the owner signed the application
form so he has in essence committed himself to Planning
Commission action.
o Brian said that was not necessarily true.
o Laws said we've done this for many other conditional
uses.
o Popp said it has happened in the past. City attorney
said owner is a participant by signing the applica-
tion.
o Wood stated that without owner's improvements there
won't be a conditional use.
o Sakata asked what the applicant is selling.
o Applicant answered building supplies.

proval which provides sight-obscuring screening
around the storage area.
E. Commission Discussion and Action:
o Goldbach asked if screening was really necessary
along railroad tracts.
o Laws answered that that is covered in design review.
Screening between two properties may not be needed.
The previous application tonight for outside storage
had screening between land uses.
o Goldbach asked must he be required to landscape?
o Laws answered that there is a requirement in all
zones for landscaping.
o Goldbach stated then it should be in design review
only.

o Goldbach asked does this paving requirement apply to the
whole theater or just the new part?

this report.
o Brian said that that was what was passed, but was that t'
�Ywhat we intended? p
o Popp thought so.

it clear to everyone?

t'IGARD PLANNING COMMISSION
October 4,.• 1977 - 7:30 p.m.
Fowler Junior High School - Lecture Room
10865 S .W. Walnut Street - Tigard, Oregon
Docket: Conditional Use CU 29-77
Request: For outside storage of general building supplies in a M-
I 2 General Industrial zone
Location: 7400 S.W. Landmark Lane (Wash. Co. Tax Map 2S1 12A, Lot
602)
Applicant: Sabre Construction Company
I . Findings of Fact:
1. The site is designated "Heavy Industrial" on the NPO #5
Plan and zoned "M-2, General Industrial" .
2. Section 18.44.020 of the Tigard Municipal Code states,
"Any business service, processing, storage or display- essen-
tial to any permitted use in the M-2 zone and not conducted
entirely within an enclosed building requires a conditional
use permit to be authorized by the Planning Commission.
II. Staff Observation:
1. The site is a relatively flat parcel, with the Northern
Yards building located in the southeastern corner of the
site The applicant is proposing to use the northeastern
corner of the parcel for outside storage. An existing
cyclone fence surrounds the northeastern perimeter of the
site to include the proposed outside storage area Sur-
rounding land uses are Fought Steel and Bethlehem Steel
to the south and west, Artek Instruments to the east, and
Circle A W Products to the north.
2. Upon inspection of the parcel, staff has observed that a
portion of the area being proposed for outside storage is
currently being used for that purpose as well as the
truck maneuvering area, as shown on the site plan.
3. The applicant is proposing to relocate the cyclone fence
along the east property line. The topography in this area
slopes down and toward the warehouse on the site; there-
fore, there is a need to construct a retainer wall to sup-
port the slope and accommodate the grading and paving that
STAFF REPORT

will be necessary within the proposed outside storage area.
III. Conclusionary Findings:
1. Through the use of effective landscaping materials, the
outside storage area should not have any deleterious ef-
fects on adjacent properties.
2 . The existing truck maneuvering area and proposed outside
storage area should be treated as one outside storage area
and landscape screening be provided around this entire
area.
IV. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval with the following condition:
1. That a site plan be submitted showing effective site ob-
scuring landscaping around the outside storage area sub-
ject to staff approval.

Request: For six duplex lots in a "R-7, Single Family Residential"
zone
Location: 11830 S.W. 95th Avenue (Wash. Co. Tax Map 1S1 35DC, Lots
3900 and 4000)
Applicant: Corbett Development Corporation
I. Findings of Fact:
1. The site is designated "Urban Low Density Residential" on
the Neighborhood Planning Organization #2 Plan and cur-
rently zoned "R-7, Single Family Residential" .
2. Section 18.20.020 (1) of the Tigard Municipal Code permits
"duplex residential, with a minimum lot size of ten thou-
sand square feet: one duplex per lot" as a conditional use
in a R-7 zone.
3. The applicalbe policy from the Tigard Housing Plan is the
following:
Policy 15: Provide greater diversity of housing density
(e. g. , duplexes, four-plea, attached single
•
family units, etc. ) .
4 . The applicalbe policy from NPO #2 Plan is the following:
Policy 7: Within the low density residential area, du-
plexes will be allowed on lots less appropriate
for single family homes to include locations at
street intersections and as buffers between
multi-family and single family areas.
II. Staff Observations:
1. The site is relatively flat, with a single family home lo-
cated in the front portion of Tax Lot 4000 . Tax Lot 3900
is vacant with the exception of a few large deciduous and
conifer trees. Surrounding land uses are the Villa La Paz
apartments to the east, single family homes to the south
and west, and a salvage yard, which is a non-conforming
use, to the north.

2 . Water service is available to the site from the Tigard Wa-
ter District via an eight inch line in S.W. 95th Avenue.
Sanitary sewer is also available to the site via an eight
inch line in S.W. 95th Avenue.
3. S.W. 95th. Avenue is designated as a local street with. 50
feet of right-of-way. Sufficient right-of-way currently
exists, but S.W. 95th is in substandard condition.
4 . The applicant is proposing to subdivide Tax Lots 3900 and
4000 in order to create six duplex lots and one single fam-
ily lot. The average lot size of the duplex lots will be
over 10, 000 square feet, with no lot being less than 10,000
square feet. The site plan envisions three duplex lots on
Tax Lot 3900 and three duplex lots on Tax Lot 4000.. The
single family lot will be located in the southwest corner
of what is now Tax Lot 4000 and will contain the existing
house.
III . Conclusionary Findings:
(- 1. The location of duplex lots within the area as proposed by
the applicant would provide a transition between the multi-
ple family units to the east and the salvage yard to the
north and single family residential to the west and south.
2. This request conforms to Policy 15 of the Housing text and
Policy 7 of the NPO #2 Plan.
IV. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for
six duplex lots subject to approval of a final subdivision
plat for Tax Lots 3900 and 4000 .

Applicant: Contractors Construction Supply
I. Findings of Fact:
1. The site is designated "Industrial" on the NPO Plan #2 and -
zoned "M-4, Industrial Park" zone.
2 . Section 18.52.020 (11) and (16) of the Tigard Municipal Code
states, "Warehousing and wholesale distribution; and retail
sales, when authorized by the Planning Commission, supple-
mental to, in conjunction with, or part of any of the condi-
tional use allowed in the M-4 zone requires a conditional
use permit to be authorized by the Planning Commission. "
3. On September 28, 1976, the Design Review Board approved a
request for a 16 ,000 square foot industrial building (Atlas },
Land Company) . Staff recommended at that meeting that the
applicant have as conditions for approval of his project:
a. An agreement to participate in future improvements to
S.W. Tigard Street be filed with the City Recorder.
b. A dedication of ten feet along S .W. Tigard Street be
completed for future widening.
The Design Review Board chose not to include these condi-
tions on the basis that they did not have the authority.
Subsequently, staff appealed the Design Review Board deci-
sion to the City Council. Legal counsel advised the City
Council that they had the authority to require developers
to participate in future street improvements and dedication
of right-of-way through enactment of an ordinance granting
the Design Review Board the power to make these require-
ments. Since an ordinance was not in effect at that time,
therefore the Council denied the appeal. (Such an ordi-
nance has since been adopted. )

II. Staff Observation:
1. The applicant is currently operating a wholesale/retail
business in the front 7,500 .square feet of the Atlas Land
Company building. Surrounding land uses are industrial
buildings to the south, Southern Pacific and Burlington
Railroad lines to the east, .apartments to the north, and
Willamette Industries (retail lumber yard) to the west.
2 . S.W. Tigard Street is designated as a collector street on
the NPO #2 Plan, requiring 60 feet of right-of-way. There
is currently 40 feet of right-of-way; therefore, an addi-
tional ten foot dedication is necessary. S.W, Tigard Street
is also in substandard condition. No curbs or sidewalks
exist on either side of the street.
3. Section 18 .60. 120 (6) (d) of the Tigard Municipal Code re-
quires one space for each 1,000 square feet of gross floor
area but not less than ten spaces for each establishment.
• Based on the parking requirements as approved for the entire
complex, there is sufficient parking to meet the applicant` s
proposed use.
4 . The applicant has indicated in his narrative statement that
retail sales are a secondary part of their operation with
only five percent of the customer trade, while 95 percent
of their trade is wholesale customers. Six thousand square
feet of the building is being used for wholesale purposes,
with the remaining 1,500 square feet devoted to retail
sales.
Total employment is ten employees. Merchandise is being
shipped factory direct to their customers. Truck deliver-
ies average one incoming and one outgoing shipment per day.

qt TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION
October 4, 1977 - 7:30 p.m.
Fowler Junior High School - Lecture Room
10865 S.W. Walnut Street - Tigard, Oregon
Docket: Conditional Use CU 27-77
Request: For outside storage of building materials in a "M-3,
Light Industrial" zone
Location: S.W. 72nd and Kable Streets (Wash . Co. Tax Map 2S1 12D,
Lot 2700)
Applicant: McHenry Constructors, Inc .
I . Findings of Fact:
1. The site is designated Light Industrial on the NPO #5 Plan
and zoned "M-3, Light Industrial" .
2 . Section 18.48.020 of the Tigard Municipal Code states, "Any
business service, processing, storage or display essential
to any permitted use in the M-3 zone and not conducted en-
tirely within an enclosed building requires a conditional
' use permit to be authorized by the Planning Commission.
II. Staff Observations :
1. The site is a flat, vacant parcel. The applicant is pro-
posing to partition the site into two parcels. On the
southern parcel the applicant 's site plan envisions a 4,000
square foot building with an outside storage area located
in the northern end of the site. Surrounding land uses are
the Convoy Company to the east, pasture and vacant land to
the south, north, and west.
2. S .W. 72nd is designated as a collector street on the NPO #5
Plan, with a 60 foot right-of-way. There currently exists
the necessary right-of-way for this street; however, 72nd
Avenue is in substandard condition.
3. The outside storage area will be primarily visible from
72nd Avenue. The Southern Pacific Railroad line will form
the western boundary of the storage area and the lot. The
applicant is proposing to erect a six foot high fence
around the perimeter of the storage area.

III. Conclusionary Findings:
1. With vegetative screening the proposal will have minimal
impact on surrounding parcels and will be compatible with
surrounding land uses.
2 . S.W. 72nd Avenue is in substandard condition; however, since t
the applicant is proposing to partition Tax Lot 2700, plac- !
ing the necessary conditions for street improvements for '.
S.W. 72nd Avenue could best be handled during the minor
land partitioning process.
IV. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval with the following condition:
1. A landscape plan be submitted for design review approval
which provides sight-obscuring screening around the storage
area.
