PLANNING COMMISSION
Meeting Minutes
April 19, 2004
1. CALL TO ORDER
President Padgett called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The meeting was held in
the Tigard Civic Center, Red Rock Creek Conference Room, at 13125 SW Hall
Blvd.
2. ROLL CALL
Commissioners Present: President Padgett; Commissioners Buehner (arrived
late), Caffall, Haack, Meads, and Sutton
Commissioners Absent: Commissioners Bienerth, Munro, and Webb
Staff Present: Barbara Shields, Planning Manager; Duane Roberts,
Associate Planner; Jerree Gaynor, Planning Commission
Secretary
3. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMUNICATIONS
There is a meeting next Monday night.
The secretary was asked to report back concerning Commissioners being allowed
to use their title as a Commissioner in making political endorsements.
4. APPROVE MEETING MINUTES
It was moved and seconded to approve the March 29, 2004 meeting minutes as
submitted. The motion passed by a vote of 4-0. Commissioner Buehner arrived
after the vote was taken; Commissioner Sutton abstained.
5. AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Associate Planner Duane Roberts reported on Statewide Goal 10: Housing Rule
(Exhibit A). He provided an overview on the planning requirements and the
implementation process. He advised that the City needs to look at all the factors
when updating our Comprehensive Plan. He reported that 5 years ago, the City
adopted a housing maintenance code, which has improved conditions with rental
housing.
Roberts compared the following census information between 1990 and 2000:
• housing units in Tigard have increased from 12,600 to 16,500
• the median rent has increased from $428 to $673, a 57% increase
• the median mortgage has increased from $814 to $1,361, a 67%
increase
• income has increased from $35,700 to $51,600, an increase of 45%
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -April 19,2004-Page 1
® •
• 41% of renters spend more than 30% of their income on rent and related
expenses
• 23% of homeowners spend more than 30% of their income on mortgage
and related expenses
It was noted that Goal 10 is about a spectrum of incomes and providing a range of
housing opportunities, not just affordable housing. Affordable housing providers
have told us that they can't afford to build low to moderate income rentals at
densities under 25 units per acre. If the City wants to encourage affordable
housing, we could provide land that is zoned 25 and 40 units per acre. Barbara
Shields advised that housing will have to be addressed as a part of the
Comprehensive Plan update.
Duane Roberts noted that Metro adopted Title 1: Requirements for Housing and
Employment Accommodation three years ago. It focuses on lower income
households, especially those earning 50% and below of the median income. There
are three mandatory requirements related to Comp Plan amendments. Roberts
advised that the City of Tigard meets two of those requirements. The one we don't
meet relates to a statement concerning the City's desire to maintain the existing
supply of housing and to encourage and provide opportunities for dispersed
housing in the community.
Title 7: Affordable Housing spells out a number of land use and non-land use tools
that all jurisdictions are required to consider. Roberts gave an overview of Tigard's
Affordable Housing Program (Exhibit B), which has been adopted by Council.
Roberts reported that staff will come back to the Planning Commission to hold a
public hearing for an amendment to the Comp Plan saying that the City is
supportive of maintaining the existing supply of housing in the community and is in
support of dispersing affordable housing throughout the community.
The Commissioners looked at the sample language in their packets under 6.3.1
(from the City of Tualatin). In Tigard's Comprehensive Plan, there are two policies
addressing housing; this would be the third policy. With regard to bullet point#2,
President Padgett remarked that it was almost getting into the area of design
review. He suggested deleting that item.
Under bullet point#4, Commissioner Buehner recommended that the Commission
hold a discussion on areas that are allocated for residents age 55 and over. It was
recognized that the term "specialized housing" needs to be defined.
Duane Roberts will re-draft the language and bring back to the Commission next
week for more discussion.

REGIONAL FUNCTIONAL PLAN REQUIREMENTS
TITLE 1 : REQUIREMENTS FOR HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT ACCOMMODATION
3 .07 . 110 Purpose and Intent
One goal of the Framework Plan is the efficient use of land.
Title 1 intends to use land within the UGB efficiently by
increasing its capacity to accommodate housing and employment.
Title 1 directs each city and county in the region to consider
actions to increase its capacity and to take action if necessary
to accommodate its share of regional growth as specified in this
title.
(Ordinance No. 97-715B, Sec. 1 . Amended by Ordinance 02-969B,
Sec. 1 . )
3. 07 .120 Housing and Employment Capacity
A. Each city and county shall determine its capacity for
housing and employment in order to ensure that it provides
and continues to provide at least the capacity for the city
or county specified in Table 3 . 01-7. Local governments
shall use data provided by Metro unless the Metro Council or
the Chief Operating Officer determines that data preferred
by a city or county is more accurate.
B. A city or county shall determine its capacity for dwelling
units by cumulating the minimum number of dwelling units
authorized in each zoning district in which dwelling units
are authorized. A city or county may use a higher number of
dwellings than the minimum density for a zoning district if
development in the five years prior to the determination has
actually occurred at the higher number.
C. If a city annexes county territory, the city shall ensure
that there is no net loss in regional housing or employment
capacity, as shown on Table 3 . 07-1, as a result of
amendments of comprehensive plan or land use regulations
that apply to the annexed territory.
D. After completion of its initial determination of capacity,
each city or county shall report changes in its capacity by
April 15 of the first calendar year following completion of
its initial determination and by April 15 of every following
year.

3 . 07 . 130 Design Type Boundaries Requirement
For each of the following 2040 Growth Concept design types, city
and county comprehensive plans shall be amended to include the
boundaries of each area, determined by the city or county consis-
tent with the general locations shown on the 2040 Growth Concept
Map:
Central City--Downtown Portland is the Central City which serves
as the major regional center, an employment and cultural center
for the metropolitan area.
Regional Centers--Seven regional centers will become the focus of
compact development, redevelopment and high-quality transit
service and multimodal street networks.
Station Communities--Nodes of development centered approximately
one-half mile around a light rail or high capacity transit
station that feature a high-quality pedestrian environment.
Town Centers--Local retail and services will be provided in town
centers with compact development and transit service.
Main Streets--Neighborhoods will be served by main streets with
retail and service developments served by transit.
Corridors--Along good quality transit lines, corridors feature a
high-quality pedestrian environment, convenient access to tran-
sit, and somewhat higher than current densities .
Employment Areas--Various types of employment and some residen-
tial development are encouraged in employment areas with limited
commercial uses .
Industrial Areas--Industrial area are set aside primarily for
industrial activities with limited supporting uses .
Regionally Significant Industrial Areas--Industrial areas with
site characteristics that are relatively rare in the region that
render them especially suitable for industrial use.
Inner Neighborhoods--Residential areas accessible to jobs and
neighborhood businesses with smaller lot sizes are inner neigh-
borhoods .
Outer Neighborhoods--Residential neighborhoods farther away from
large employment centers with larger lot sizes and lower densi-
ties are outer neighborhoods .

shall be deemed to comply with this subsection.
2 . A city or county shall not approve a subdivision or
development application that will result in a density
below the minimum density for the zoning district.
3. A city or county may change the dwelling unit density
of any zoning district so long as the zoning district
continues to comply with this subsection and so long as
the city or county continues to provide at least the
overall capacity for housing for the city or county
specified in Table 3 . 07-1 .
B. A city or county shall not prohibit the partition or
subdivision of a lot or parcel that is at least twice the
size of the minimum size for new lots or parcels in any
zoning district in which dwelling units are authorized.
C. A city or county shall authorize the establishment of at
least one accessory dwelling unit for each detached single-
family dwelling unit in a zoning district and for each
detached or attached single-family dwelling unit in a
Regional Center or Station Community. The authorization may
be subject to reasonable regulation for siting and design
purposes .
D. In order to assist Metro to evaluate the effectiveness of
Title 1 in aid of accomplishment of the 2040 Growth Concept,
and to comply with state progress reporting requirements in
ORS 197 . 301, by April 15 of each even-numbered year
beginning 2004, each city and county shall report to Metro
the actual density of new residential development per net
developed acre authorized in those zoning districts that

use regulations to transfer capacity for housing or
employment shown on Table 3 . 07-1 to another city or county
inside the UGB upon a demonstration that:
1 . The transfer complies with the policies of the Regional
Framework Plan;
2 . The transfer will not reduce the capacity of the region
for housing or employment specified on Table 3. 07-1;
3 . The housing or employment capacity to be transferred is

TITLE 7: AFFORDABLE HOUSING
3.07 .710 Intent
The Regional Framework Plan stated the need to provide affordable
housing opportunities through: a) a diverse range of housing
types, available within the region, and within cities and
counties inside Metro' s Urban Growth Boundary; b) sufficient and
affordable housing opportunities available to households of all
income levels that live or have a member working in each
jurisdiction and subregion; c) an appropriate balance of jobs and
housing of all types within subregions; d) addressing current and
future need for and supply of affordable housing in the process
used to determine affordable housing production goals; and e)
minimizing any concentration of poverty. The Regional Framework
Plan directs that Metro' s Urban Growth Management Functional Plan
include voluntary affordable housing production goals to be
adopted by local jurisdictions in the region as well as land use
and non-land use affordable housing tools and strategies . The
Regional Framework Plan also directs that Metro' s Urban Growth
Management Functional Plan include local governments' reporting
progress towards increasing the supply of affordable housing.
Title 1 of this functional plan requires cities and counties to
change their zoning to accommodate development at higher densi-
ties in locations supportive of the transportation system.
Increasing allowable densities and requiring minimum densities
encourage compact communities, more efficient use of land and
should result in additional affordable housing opportunities .
These Title 1 requirements are parts of the regional affordable
housing strategy.
(Ordinance No. 97-715B, Sec. 1 . Amended by Ordinance No .
00-882C, Sec. 2 . )
3 . 07 .720 Voluntary Affordable Housing Production Goals
Each city and county within the Metro region should adopt the
Affordable Housing Production Goal indicated in Table 3 . 07-7 for
their city or county as a guide to measure progress toward
meeting the affordable housing needs of households with incomes
between 0% and 50% of the regional median family income .
(Ordinance No. 97-715B, Sec. 1 . Amended by Ordinance No.

3.07 .730 Requirements for Comprehensive Plan and Implementing
Ordinance Changes
A. Cities and counties within the Metro region shall ensure
that their comprehensive plans and implementing ordinances :
1 . Include strategies to ensure a diverse range of housing
types within their jurisdictional boundaries .
2 . Include in their plans actions and implementation
measures designed to maintain the existing supply of
affordable housing as well as increase the
opportunities for new dispersed affordable housing
within their boundaries .
3 . Include plan policies, actions, and implementation
measures aimed at increasing opportunities for
households of all income levels to live within their
individual jurisdictions in affordable housing.
B. Cities and counties within the Metro region shall consider
amendment of their comprehensive plans and implementing
ordinances with the following affordable housing land use
tools and strategies identified below. Compliance with this
subsection is achieved when the governing body of a city or
county considers each tool or strategy in this subsection
and either amends its comprehensive plan and implementing
ordinances to adopt the tool or strategy or explains in
writing why it has decided not to adopt it.
1 . Density Bonus . A density bonus is an incentive to
facilitate the development of affordable housing.
Local jurisdictions could consider tying the amount of
bonus to the targeted income group to encourage the
development of affordable units to meet affordable
housing production goals .
2 . Replacement Housing. No-Net-Loss housing policies for
local jurisdictional review of requested quasi-judicial
Comprehensive Plan Map amendments with approval
criteria that would require the replacement of existing
housing that would be lost through the Plan Map

address housing. Under each policy are implementing strategies designed to
fulfill the City's housing objectives.
6.1.1 The City shall provide an opportunity for a diversity of housing densities
and residential types at various prices and rent levels.
Implementation strategies include:
• Establish a "broad range of zoning districts that allow for a variety of
housing types, and comply with the Metropolitan Housing Rule".
• Allow for manufactured homes in all the zoning districts.
• Provide for opportunities for proposals to develop specialized housing for
the area's senior citizens and handicapped based on the needs of these
groups by allowing special needs housing for these groups in all
development districts.
• Coordinate with the Washington County Housing Authority, HUD, and other
agencies for the provision of the subsidized housing programs.
6.2.1 The City shall develop clear and concise development regulations and
standards to facilitate the streamlining of development proposals, and will
eliminate unnecessary provisions which could increase housing costs without
corresponding benefit.
Implementation strategies include:
• The Tigard Code shall include a clear and concise process for the review and
approval of development proposals.
• The City shall seek ways to minimize the cost of housing by encouraging a
variety of home ownership alternatives, such as, but not limited to,
townhouses and condominiums.
• •
The following is an example of a proposed comprehensive plan amendment
designed to meet Tigard's last remaining Metro Title 7: Affordable Housing
requirement.

measures designed to maintain the existing supply of affordable housing as well
as increase opportunities for new dispersed affordable housing.
• The city shall allow residential uses (mixed commercial and residential) in
the Central Business District and Mixed Use Employment 1 and 2
Districts.
• The city shall provide housing opportunities for residents with varied
income levels and tastes that are aesthetically and functionally
compatible with the existing community housing stock.
• The city shall allow for manufactured homes in all the zoning districts.
• The city shall provide for opportunities for proposals to develop
specialized housing for the area's senior citizens and handicapped based
on the needs of these groups by allowing special needs housing for these
groups in all development districts.
• The city shall coordinate with the Washington County Housing Authority,
HUD, other government agencies, and private non-profit housing
corporations in order to provide the City's fair share of assisted housing
units for low and moderate income households.

Fund intended to offset fees and charges imposed on affordable housing
development.
