Brac� Kilby �rE�sent�d th� sCa�l� r�pr�rt can behalf of the City. This amendment results fram
a r�,que�t by th� T�I�IaCIn V�IO�y Chri�tian Ministries, which advised that the City's
park�.ing st�ndards t�o r1c�t Gonfarm with the ytandards of other jurisdictions and
r�quest�d that the st�nd�rds b� reviewecl to accommodate the planned expansiz�n of
r�any religic�us instit�4i�orts, St�f� w�� directed ta form a committee in conjunction with
Tualatin Valley Chris4ian Mfr�istri�� in order to Inok into alterna�ives to the current
parking standards, A survay r�vas apnducted and it was found that Tigard imposes the
strictest parking �t�ndards compared �vith surrounding jurisdictions. One of staff's
concerns is not havlhg Justl�I��tiah fc�r raisir�g the standards. No other juri�diction
provided its justificatior� for allawlrtg � 1:3-4 i•atio of parking spaces per seats. Staff
researcheci the issu� ghrc�Ugh varlc�us r�sources �r�d drafted the proposed amendments
to allow a oninimum of ona parking sp�c� for �v�ry thre� s�eats in the main sanctuary, or
one space �c�r every four s�at� Using th� �djustm�nts for �djacent on-street parking o� a
shar�d parking agr�erner�t �s set forth in t�e �taff report.
Upnn inquiry by th� �orrsrr�ti��l��ers, �t�ff advised that they ar� not aware Qf the
Wa�liingtan County ratio, btat b�llav+� iti Is 1�tc�-2. 'The average family size in 1"igard is
2.4�. The mem� fre�m Mr, Ford, �tf�ah�d a� Exhibit A, provides data an the ratio of
vehicles ar�d p�ap�e in �ttendan�� �t l�l���gate E�aptist Church. T'hi; dat� varies among
the various reiigi�u� in�titu�lons It� Tlg7rd, and the aver�ge is a�proximately 2.5.
Presid�nt Padg�;tt no4e� th�t r�llglou� ir�stitutlon� are in an overlay Instituti�nal �one,
which is cc�nditionally allowed dn a�ll znt�e�, He �sk�d hc�w the parking requirements are
c�lculated far non-reli�ious commurtf4y lrtstitutic�n� su�h as a cammunity center. Mr.
Padgett point�d out that di th� use c�fi th� r�ligla�s f�cifity i� expanding, then pErh�ps
ha�ving � .�eparate religicaus in�titution p�rking r�quirement is no Ic►nger rele�ant. Staff
advised it7a� the calculation is d�t�rmin�d by th� ty�e of institution/use and most types
are 5pecifically addr�ss�d in the code, (f � cert�in type of insfiitution is not sp�cifically
addressed, it is referred to the directar fcar det�rmination. For example, the requirement
for a cultura! institution is a minimum of 2,5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. The
requirements are b�sed on squ�r� fo�tage and �yp� af use. Mr. Kilby stated that an
exhaus#ive stu�y in Redmond, VUa�h(ngton h�ad been made on this i�su� and it was
determined that the accessory uses did nat conflict with the use of the rnain sanctuary
and therefor� it was nat deem�d r��Geas�ary to �ddres� those uses as separate uses.
C�mrrais�ioner Mur�ro a�ked abaut ability of fhe City to determine whether or not the
religious in5titutior� is meeting the r�quir�ments, ��r�d President F'adgett asked what the
remedy would be if a surrounding commu�nity disput��� that the institufion was meeting
the requiremen#s.
Mr. Kilk�y responded that the determir�ation af wheth�r parking requirements are being
m�t is nat complaint-driven by the st��rr�unding cdmmunity. When an institution is

Up�n inquiry by F'resid�n# Padgett, staff explained the re�soning far the change from
1-to-3.3 to 1-to-3 �was due t� consideratinn of whaf is appropriate for Tigard and the
local situation.
Commissi�ner Munro stated that she is in support of the amendment. She is not in
fav�r �f larg� area� of asphalt parking lot� ba�ed oro peak demand bu� are largely
unus�d. �s fiar a� implcmenting this parking �lan, Commi�sioner Munro would like to
see appiicants use crea#ive strat�gies and Ic�ok at all aspects of their parking needs,
such as �arpoaling, encauraging public transportatic��1, p�rtnering with park $�. ride,
sh�t�l�s, �tc., a� weli as being s�lf-policing, in order to minimize impact on the
�urrounding neighborh�od.
Commissiansr Mare� anc� Commi�sianer S�tton �xpressed suppa�rt of the
recomrnendafiior�.
Cot�nmissicaner Sienerth said that while she does fe�l that the current parking
requirerr�ent �s s�i��wh�t sfirict, she cioes have som� Goncerns about allowing or�-street
parking fior a religious f�cility. T'here should be uniformity in the parking code and they
s�hould nat set a preCedent where ofiher uses will use thi� amendment as a b�si� fior
s�ekir�g exc�ption� to the parkin� code. �h� supports the am�ndm�nt i� par�, but
vvc�uld Bike t� limit the ratio �0 1-to-3 ratio wi#hout adjustment. Prssident Padgett pointed
nut th�t sh�red parkin� with adjac�nt prc�pertie� is also an adjustment a�d that on-street
p�rking can b� vi�v►+ed as shared p�rkir�g. Commi�sion�r Bienerth �aid she is in favor
of shar�d parking, h�r c�bjection is anly with an-str�et parking v�ahen it impacts
surrounding n�ic�hbors, She would l�ke �taff to car�sider�this is�ue.
Comrv�issioner Anderson cc�mmented that on-stre�t parking is only allowed on �tre�ts
d�signed to �ccommodate or�-stres� parking and are approved for that st�ndard. While
on-street parking �an imped� tr�f�ic flow, it also seeves to slow tr�ffic.
Commi�sianer S�ttarl noted thiat on-atr�et parking is required to be adjacen� to the
facility and is no# allowed on local residential classifie�d sfireets. In addition, a s�reet
must be upgr�d�d for on-str�et parking ta be allowed.
A bri�f discussie�n was held r�garding str�et cla�sifications and what streets are eligibl�
for on-street parking. The intent i� to preclude an�street parking an lacal residential
streets, but parking is permitted on Iocal collector and cor�mercial streets.
Commissioner Bushner stated she supports the 1-to-3 r�tio, but noted that rriany
churches have a larger senior popula#ion tha4 cammanly only have one persan in the
car. Her main concern is about on-street parking and its impact on the community.
Ce�rnmissianer Webb has no objectior�s to the amendment, but also is concerned about
on-street parking.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEBT{NG MINU'I'E5 - February 4,2002 — Page 4
` �
Comrnissioner �utton asked what the requirements are tn ensure that a street is
, suitable far aliowing on-streefi parking.
Staff responded that an applicant seeking to ccaunfi c�n-street parking must present a
plan showing that the street meets the requirements for and can aceommodate on-
. street parking. On-street p�rking is limited to thc�se stre�ts that are nof lacal
neighborhood streef�. If there is an impact, it ca� be addressed through th� conditi�nal
use proces�.
�ommissi�ner �uehner asked if the City has the ability to force a r�ligious institution ta
address their parking needs if the us� expands over time. �taff respn�nded that the City
can only req�aire that th� facility provide the required numb�r of spaces based on the
nu►aiber of seats in the main sanctuary.
Presider�t Padgett stated thafi h� is in support of the amendment. He does �ot feel that
what�ther j�risdictians req�ire should be a consideration here. He supports increasing
the ratio ta 1-to-4. This amendmenfi daes not encourage people to park on
neighb�rhood streets. V1/her� an applicant presents a parking plan that counts on-street
parking, that �applicant will be required fc� �mprove the �treet tv meet the sfandards fc�r
ac�omrn�datin� on-street parking. He feel� that the concerns expr�ss�d a�iov� have
be�n addressed.
�c�liawing dis�ussion, Commis�ioner Munrv moved, bas�d on the fir�dings in fihe staff
report and testimor�y heard tonight, fo recommend �o City C�uncil to adopt the prop�os�d
amendrroent, includir�g �he amendment to Footno�e 6 as folluws:
"Relig9ous institutions may pravide one space for ev�;ry faur s�ats an site
in the main a�sembly ar�a prnvided that they supply the Cifiy with a
parking plan that dernonstrafies that th� peak parking d�r�and of ane
space f�r every three se�ts i5 rnet utilizing �r�y r,ombination caf the
alternatives m�enfiinned in this chapter. Adjus4menfs t� the minimurrr
parking af one space fior every three seats rr�ay b� granted per applic�bl�
provisions �f the Code, but shall not decrease fihe amount o'f required on-
site parking fo less than one space for ev�ry four seats unless the
cumulative value of all adjustments granted results in an .adjusted
requirement of less than one space per four se�t�."
�ommissioner MoreS secoreded the moti�n. A voice vote was taken and the motion
pass�d 6-�: Cominissioner Buehner voted no and Commissioner Bienerth abstained.

Morgan Tracy submitfied a memorandum regarding planned develppm�nt
ordinance language revisions, att�ched as Exhibit B to th�se minutes. He brie�ly
di�cuss�d the details sefi forth in th� mernorandurn.
PLAI�INING COMMISSION 1VfEETING MINTJTES — February 4,2002 — Page 5

The ordin�nce revisions address the Cornmission's concerns related to density
bonuses granted for providing open space that is otherwise undevelopabie and
for trees protected in are�� vorhere developmen# would not othsrwise be allowed
to accur. The Cornmissoon�rs agreed th�t the proposed language set forth in the
m�morandum (Exhibit �) is acceptable.
Th�s� ar�endments affect properties �:itywide and therefore, und�r the
requirements af Ba01at Measure 56 which is n�w 5tate I�w, notice must be
pravided t� all property owners at a cost to the City ofi over$6,000 tn mail 16,aOQ
r�otices. �ecaus� ofi this, the Corr�mission should consider the advisability of
delaying th�s� amendments until s�ch fiime a� they can be b�ndled with other
�itywide amendments requiring the mailing of a no�ice, in order to avoid thi�
separate maileng cast to the Gity.
�l,nc�ther issue to be cansidered is an as�nendment to the development code that
` these changes will not apply #o those areas within the Urban Growth �oundary
outside the City limits. The City will therefor� be de�ling with two separate
stiandards until ar�d if Vl/ashington County changes its code to apply to that area.
Fu�h�r di�cussion was held regarding the Coty af Tigard ar�d Wa�hington
�ounty's adoption af these amen�ments. From � budgetary standpoint, staff
recommends that th�se amendments be bundled with other amendmenfs fihat
require th� rnailing of noYic�. Following fiurther discussian, staff was requested tn
research fihe issu� and pr�vide a re�omm¢;ndation at #he nexfi Plannir�g

S�:�TIC1N IIL �A4„�KC��tOIJfVL� iNFORMATION
A� th� role of religian within our society evolves, the use is expanded and redesigned to
accoi�nrnadate the: function nf their respec,tive purpose. F��ligious institutions have changed
the way th�t they operate. One can no longer �ay that religious instifutions are comprised �fi
a mair� sanctuary and several �mall classrooms for Sunday school. In addition to Boy
Scoufi� and Girl Scout� there are aerobics se�ssions, art I�ssons, counseling, day care anc�
schools. Serving th� larger comrnunity there e�re clothing banks, foo� pantries, meetings for
varied 12 step pragram�, soup kitchens, and even drug treatment centers, As a result,
neig�►bors c�n feel their communities are overwhe�rn�d by churches now operating day and
r�ight, seven days a week. Many af the Religious Institutic�ns within Tigard have indicat�d
tha4 th�y will be seeking to expand their facilitiss within the next few years. Sev�ral of the
ministries approached City staff about amending fihe parking standards to reflect a standard
that would be� more in line with other jurisdic�ions ar�aund Tigard. Staff cor�ducted � survey of
surrounding jurisdiction requirements, and faund that the Tigard D�veiapment Code w�s
stricter than surrounding jurisdictions. However, a literafiure review of profes�ional sources
show� that Tigard regulations are in line with professional rec�rnmendations. To that ��d,
�taff was directpd to work with a parking committe� to come up with a resolution and
proce�� with an application to amend the code.

This goal outlines the land use plannin� process �nd policy framework. The Comprehensive
Plan wa� acknowledged by DLCD as being consistent with the statewide planr�ing goals.
The Development Cod� implements the Comprehensive Plan. T'he Dev�loprr�ent Code
establishes a process for anr� policie� to r�view changes to the Develrapment Code
consistent with Goal 2. The City's plan provides analysis and policies with which to evaluate
a requesf for amending the Cade consisterz���ith Goal 2.

7wo Metro reguiations need to b� consid�red with regard to this req�est:
Title 2: (EVl�tro code 3.Q7.�10-3.07.220)
Regional Parking Poli�y
The Metro 2040 Grc�wth Concept calls for mare compact dev�lopment as a me�ns to
encn�rag� �ore effir,ient use c�f land, promote non-aut� trips and protect air quality. In
additic�n, the fed�rally mandated air quaiity plan aclopted by the state relies on the 2040
Growth Concept tially achieving its transportation abje�ctives. This titfe established
r�gionwide-parking polici�s th�t set the minimum numb�r c�f parking spaces which can be
required by loca9 governments for certai� fiypes of new development. It does n�t affect
exi�ting developm�;nt. Parking maximum� �re also specified. gy. nat cre�ting an over supply
of parking, urban land can b� used most efficiently. The City of Tigard irnplem�r�ts this
policy through its off-street parking sfiandards. Currently, Tig�rd's parking standard for
religious ir�stitutions is the m�ximum minimum allowed by Metro. The proposed amendment
wili act to reduce the minimum parking star�dards for religious institutiac�s to 1 spa�e for
every 3 seats in the main sanctuary or 1 space for ev�ry four seats in the main sanctuary a�
long as � parking plan is provided that iilustrates that fih� 1/3 requirement can be met
utilizing variances, adjustrr�ent;>, and the alternatives proposed as pa� of this amendment.

The goal of the Stream and Floodplain Protection Plan (Title 3) is to prot�ct the region's
h�alth an�d public safety by reducing flood and landslide hazards, controliing soil erosion and
reducing pollution of the region's waterways. The propused amendment will potentially
redGice the amounf af imp�rvious sur�ace, thereby providing additional opportunity for water �

S�G'Tl��D i/. aTA►FF A��4LY51�
The pt-�posed amendment �Ilows religious institutions and in cases of shared parking, other
u�es, �ome added flexibiiity. There i� an inherent conflict between required p�rking based
on peak demand and actual need as peak demand is not always consistent. And, there are
many pros and cons tn accommodation of parking. The arnendmerrt under consideration
would reiax the curren# one space far every twa se�ts in the rrtiain sanctuary. It wo�ld alldw
religiau� in�titutions to utilize several altern�tives to meet the underlying ratio of one space
far every three seats in the main sanctuary. Ti�� benefits of requiring I�ss parking include
le�s impervious sur�ac�, more spaGe fnr development or open spr�ce, and less �tress or� the
Tigard stormwater system. The dawnside is discussed im m�re detail below.
In order to realize fhe current propo�ai, the following ste�s were taken. Sta�' was
approached by the Tualatin Valley Christian Ministries (TVCM), a conglomerat� of Tigard
Churches, to review and amend 4he Tigard Development Code (TDC) to allow one space for
ev�ry four seats in the main �an�tuary. A� a r�suit of this request, staff began researching
the validity of the problem. 6t w�s discavered in a survey ofi oth�r jurisdictional requirements
(�.xhibit B), th�# Tigard wa� in fact sfiricfier than the surrounding jurisdictior�s when it came to
parking. it was also discovered in a lifierature survey of prafessional resources tha�t parking
requirement� for rsligiaus institu�ians varied dramatically across the country. In same
insfances the rafiio wa� ane �pace for every ten se�t� in the mair� sanctuary, and in other
cases, the r�equire�rien� was one space for every fwo seats in the main sanctuary. Th�re
seer��ed to be no re�l justification far any orae �t�ndard. Staff proce�ded to conti�ue
r��e�rching alternatives and solutions that would accammadate the Relig6ous irrstitutions in
"('igard, but tho�e same alfernatives and sol►�tions wc�uld also have to reli�ve Tigard
neighborhoods o$ added congesti�� and conflicts that become a probi�m during religiaus
acti�iti�s. �s indicated ir� the previous discussion, citizens vaius fhe righf to peacefuf
enjoyment nf their neighborhoods almost as much as their right to freedom of religion.
The prof��siona! resourcE;s, Eno Faundafiion for Transportafion, Inc. and Institute nf Traffic
Engineers (ITE) both indicate that one space for every two seats is ap�ropriate based on
demand, but concede that the actual requirements are highly variabie. In describing �aarking
demand, the Eno Foundation states that,
"...parking demand is c�efined as the accumul�tion of vehicles parked at a given fime as a
resu/t of activi�y at a given site. Dernands may reflect maximum accumulations during the
' aver�ge day, peak day of the week, or during the peak seasan of the year. Irrespective of
when they occur, parkin�g accurraulatians result from interactions between three traffi�
variabl�s: total daily trips attracted, time pattern of arrivals, and avPrage lengths of stay. To
illustrate, two sites with tB�e same land ar�a and floor�pace may attract equal daily numbers
. ofi' vehicles, yet their parking accumulations can be quite different. If at one location cars
arrive nearly simultaneously and park for�an average of�ight hours, ifis parking �ccumulation
could be four tim�s that of the� secand site, if fhe seco�nd site's vehicle arrivals are spread ouf
evenly over eight hours and the average length of stay is 2 hvurs. Thus, in determining
pa�ki�►g needs, the arrival pattern ar►d length of stay (parking duration) are as importanf as
the total number of daily vehicles attracted."(Pg. 37)

However, ir� the case of most religious in�titutions, peak demand is not met as frequ�r�tly as
mo�t uses. So, staff could concede that at times nther than m�in service 4ime�s, the
requirsr�ent �f one sp�ce for every two seats in the m�in sar�ctuary could s�em on�raus.
Ac�ording to the 2000 Census results, the average hau�ehald size is �.48 persons in the
C@t,y c�#Tigard. Assurr�ing every househald ir� 7igard attended � religious funr,tion in only one
car per famiBy, the nn site parking ratio would need to be 1 space for ev�ry 2.48 seats in fhe
sanctuary to accommod�te all �arking on site. Sfiaff realizes that every household in Tigarc�
d�aes not attend only one church, but all of the parishioners are not 1°igard resid�nts, and we
traditianally pi�n f�r worst case �cer�arios. T'he IT'E manual r;onducted parking studies ofi
religiaus institutions that show a direct correfation with the rE:quirement of on� space for
�very two seats in the main sanctuary. Th� res�its of their studies are illustrated in the
following table:

Religious In�#ifiutions are defined as, "places ofi rc9igious worship which may include related
accesso� �ses such a� offices, �las�roo�n�, auditoriums, social halls, gymnasiums, and.
nfiher recreation�l actidities" in the Tir�ard Dev�l�pmenfi Code. When these ancillary uses
becor�ie a part of a particular institi�tiian, the activities on site increase, and so does the
demand for parking. There does not a�pear to be �ignificant overlap with religious services,
so th� cnde does not place any additiona! requirement� �or the accessory us�s. However,
religiaus institutians are permitted conditian�lly or outright in every re�idenfiial and
commercial zoning district, and r,ur inability �o treat fihem individually as it relates to parlcing,
undoubtedly creates conflict ir� those institutians that are located within or close to
neighborhoods. As a result, the stricter standard is more appropriately impos�d to prevent
conflict.
The am�ndment beforP the Commission is an attempt to balance the need� of the
neighborhaods with tl�e needs of the re(igious institutians. The proposal was draffied as a
result of r�search, department�i camments, and the cooperafion of a parking committee
camprised of two representatives from the TVCM, ane represent�tive from a neighborhood
that recently voic�d concerns regarding a Church parking facility, and one Planning
Comrnission member. Th� proposed c�anges to the �ode can be reviewed in Exhibit ",40"
T'he only change that was not agr�ed upon by the committ�e was the ct�ange in ratian fi'rom
1 space for every 3.3 se�ts to 1 space far �very 3 seats. StafF inade this chane�e in light of
the census results. Staff obser�ation is that in fihis day large numbers of si�egle and two
person vehicles attend churches. The � �pac� for every 4 5eat �fi�ndard may ri�ve been
more rel�v�nt in a time�evhen mare families and larger families attended Church t�c�et'h�r.
In stammaryy th� changes in�lude rel�xir�g th� base standard to o�e �pace for e���ry #hree
seats, permit�i�g religious institutions fio �ount on-stre�fi parking where the street is adjac�:nt
to the sifie, desi�ned, and improv�d to accornmodate on stre�t pap•king, and allowing shared
p�rking to be ac:commodated at site� fhat are �p to 50Q fee$ away from the site as appos�d
to the 300 feet currentl,r in the cc�d�. The 500-foot sfiandard would appiy to all uses. This
amendment came about after st�ff researched the stafie Transporta�con Planning F2ule �s it
relates to the acc�ptabl� vvalking distance for pedesfirians. Typicaliy, ped�strians consider a
quarter of a mile to be acceptable in ped�striar� c►riented developments. If an applicant c�n
show that the one space for ev�;ry thr�E; seafi� can be iliustraF�d in a parking plan utilizing �
�omhination of the above measure�, adjustments, aind variances, fihen they would be
requiired tc� onfy accommodat� parking afi one spacE for every fiour seats in the main
sar�c.tuary on site.
SECTl�IV VI. t�1'HEI� .p►Ll'�RNAT9V�S
Leave the code as is- The sfiandard would remain at � space for every 2 �eats in the main
sanctuary, no on-street parking could be count�d, �nd shared parking would only occur
within 30Q fieet of the front building line.
Accomrriodate parking af 1 space far �very 4 seats in the main assembly area without any
