1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Arendes called the meeting to order at 6:30 pm. The meeting was held in the Art Walk Pop-up Gallery, 12215
SW Main Street,Tigard, OR 97223.Joe recorded the roll call.
2. CONSIDER MINUTES
The April 13, 2016 CCAC Minutes were approved.
3. NON-AGENDA ITEMS/PUBLIC COMMENT
A. Sarah moved out of Tigard and has submitted a letter of resignation. Sean will submit her name for
appointment as an ex officio member with experience and knowledge of affordable housing.
B. Interviews for the voting position vacated by Deanie are on May 24. There are two applicants.
4. SW CORRIDOR AND DOWNTOWN
Carine noted this is a CCAC research topic of interest to be discussed in July along with parking. However,in June
the CCDA will discuss the SW Corridor Steering Committee decision to use light rail as the mode of transportation
and the upcoming November vote to decide if Tigard supports this $2.4 billion project. Kenny stated his previous
role was with the city of Milwaukie working on their light rail project. He briefly discussed the different Tigard
alignments to be studied and noted the Ash Avenue alignment is Tigard's preferred route. This preferred alignment
may cause the loss of some low-income apartments and building additional low-income housing could help mitigate
that impact. The least expensive alignment would have a stop in the Tigard Triangle on its way to Bridgeport
Village,but bypass downtown. The CCAC can play an important role to ensure the final alignment selected includes
a downtown Tigard stop. Kenny encouraged the CCAC to discuss the topic with the public and gave an overview
of items that may come up during their discussions. Both supporters and opponents will use many of the same
topics to justify their positions, but the most important thing to remember is to speak from the heart and share your
personal beliefs, for or against the project.
Carine briefly talked about the methodology (including available documents), findings and concluding
recommendations. Talking points include: it is an investment with millions of dollars being leveraged from both the
federal and state government including bicycle and pedestrian improvements, no single transportation mode will
meet Tigard's future needs, and the project benefits Tigard as a whole supporting mixed use and increasing land
values.
5. DOWNTOWN PROJECT ONLINE MAP
Preston showed examples of different storytelling websites utilizing ESRI web maps and GIS data. It is an
interactive way to present the data in many different formats and can include rich photography,video, hyperlinks,
stories, and short messages. The style used will largely depend on the audience and the message you want to convey.

The goal of the CCAC is to highlight progress, achievements and inform about future projects. The tropic will be
discussed at the neat meeting and Sean will relay the details to Preston.
6.. ART WALK AND TDA
Elise noted the TDA hosts the Art Walk and several other events including a Halloween event, Street Fair,and the
tree lighting ceremony with Santa. The Art Walk runs through May 14 with 17 businesses hosting artists this year
culminating with the People's Choice Award,
7. DOWNTOWN VIDEO
Sean play=ed the completed downtown video that is posted on the City's website,YouTube and on the public access
channel.
S. DOWNTOWN U.R. PLAN AMENDMENT
Sean noted that the Urban Renewal District (URD) can only increase 20'!/6 (-38 acres) in size requiting a
reevaluation of potential land to be added. The CODA is open to expanding the.URD to either generate a larger tax
increment or to generate the amount initially projected in a shorter period.The issue will be studied over the next
few months. The Triangle URD process is underway and will include an educational component. Sean discussed a
potential timeline for a Cite Center Urban Renewal Substantial Amendment.
4. PROJECT UPDATES
Sean stated four firms indicated interest in the Transit Center reconfiguration but only Jarrett Walker&Associates
bid and TriMet is comfortable with the firm. Sean noted that Tigard has not received a response from the EPA
regarding the Fanno & Main project or on the Awarding of the Connect Oregon VI grant for the Tigard Street
Trail.
10. LIAISON REPORTS
A. Carine attended the Budget Committee meeting the previous week. They adopted a Parks&Recreation fee
freeing up some general funds for other uses and a portion is earmarked for the library and the City's
reserves.The CCDA Budget Committee had no questions regarding the CODA budget. Canine advocated
for the TDA funding to keep their momentum going. Council may look to a City lodging tax to help fund
the TDA.
B. Joyce noted that Washington County is seeking input on funding for MSTIP projects and Tigard has five
projects currently under consideration for funding including sidewalks and bike lanes.
C. Elise stated a SW Corridor meeting took place on Monday at City Hall where a decision on light rail as the
mode was made and the PCC tunnels were removed from consideration.

INTRODUCTION
Topic of Study: Downtown Circulation\Transportation
Month to be Presented to CCAC at Large: CCAC Members:
May- Focus on SW Corridor Carine Arendes-SW Corridor Plan
July- Circulation and Parking Mark Skorupa- Connectivity
Joyce Casey- Parking
Purpose Statement:
• Increase CCAC member understanding of transportation goals and infrastructure needs related
to the Downtown area
• Identify current efforts related to these topics and associated city resources
• Identify existing strategies and\or develop new strategies related to transportation that support
Downtown vision elements
o "vibrant and active urban village at the heart of our community that is pedestrian
oriented, accessible by many modes of transportation"
• Develop recommendations to promote implementation of the identified strategies that support
Downtown vision elements
METHODOLOGY
SW Corridor Plan (SWCP) Key Resources
City of Tigard planning undertaken to develop SW Corridor Plan
The City of Tigard focused on desirable land uses previously identified in the Comprehensive Plan and
other area specific plans such as the Downtown Improvement Plan that are highly correlated with High
Capacity Transit.The two major document outcomes are an existing conditions report and concept plan
for HCT station typologies in strategic locations, including those along the potential SW Corridor
Alignment.
• Tigard HCT Land Use Plan: Existing Conditions Summary Report, City of Tigard; March 2011.
The intent of this document is to provide a picture of the existing built environment and
circumstances. The transition to the envisioned HCT supportive station communities will build
upon the existing state of these areas:
1. Washington Square Area 4. Southwestern Tigard Area
2. Downtown Area 5. Southeastern Tigard Area
3. Tigard Triangle Area 6. Northern Tigard Area
Six subject areas are summarized by the overarching themes:fiscal stewardship&policy
coordination and implementation;community(land use);economic(market assessment);
environment(parks and open space;natural resources);public facilities(water and sanitary
sewer;stormwater and water quality);and transportation.
The plan also identifies objectives for each of the above themes.

• CONCEPTS FOR POTENTIAL STATION
COMMUNITIES: HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT LAND USE PLAN (Volume 1), CITY OF TIGARD,June
2012
Tigard's High Capacity Transit (HCT) Land Use Plan was developed by an appointed advisory
committee, city staff and representatives from Metro and the Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT). "It is intended to be a tool for Tigard to use to implement its vision for
HCT station communities within its portion of the Southwest Corridor." Volume 1 presents
potential station community concepts,Volume 2 & 3 contain background documents and
technical information. Four station community typologies were identified:Town Center/Main
Street, Employment/Retail,Tranist Corridor,and Transit Neighborhood.
Town Center/Main Street: "Urban village character, with mix of medium-to-high density
housing, ground floor retail, services, civic uses and offices within%mile of a transit station. As
one travels further away from the station, intensity and building heights decrease as the area
transitions to surrounding residential neighborhoods."
Key Components of Main Street typology (Attachment A) also include: "pedestrian friendly
streetscapes based on an urban-style grid network and narrow streets"and "apartments or
condominiums occupy the upper level of some buildings, Moving away from the station, there
may be townhouses with ground floor office and home-based businesses."

FINDINGS
SW Corridor Plan (SWCP) Findings
What It Is: The SW Corridor Plan is a plan to invest in a variety of transportation
infrastructure between downtown Portland,Tigard, and Tualatin along
the SW Corridor(Sherwood was studied but is no longer a potential
terminus).The plan was developed after studying each local area's
existing and current land uses (destinations) and transportation system
priorities near the I-5\HWY 99 corridors.
Implementation of the SWCP consists of three main components (see
Attachment B for maps of the three components):
• High Capacity Transit
• Enhanced Tri-Met Service Area
• Shared Investment Strategy projects
HCT: High Capacity Transit between downtown Portland,Tigard, and
Tualatin in a corridor consisting of dedicated right-of-way, shared right-
of-way, and rail right-of-way (Sherwood was studied but is no longer a
Page 3 of 10

City ofTigardCity CenterAdvisory Commission ,
potential terminus). At the May 9t"Steering Committee meeting Light
Rail was identified as the preferred mode.
Enhanced Tri-Met Service Area:The SW Service Enhancement Plan calls
for bus service that connects people to more places, more often, earlier,
and later; improvements to sidewalks and street crossings to support
transit service; and new community-job shuttles in areas that lack
transit service because the demand is too low for traditional TriMet bus
service to be economically viable.
Shared Investment Strategy: key investments in transit, roadways,
active transportation, parks, trails and natural areas to support local
land use vision
What's Happening Now: Choices regarding mode and alignment occurred in early May. In
November, a ballot measure will ask Tigard residents if they support
HCT in Tigard (without a specific price tag). Since HCT is the "back bone"
of the SW Corridor Plan, lack of Tigard support will stall, if not derail
completely, implementation of the SW Corridor Plan
Why Important to Downtown: An accessible downtown is an active Downtown. Both the TDIP and
URAP call for a variety of transportation modes in the Downtown. HCT
and the Shared Investment strategy both support alternatives to
personal vehicle use which supports higher density housing options
desired in the Downtown. Downtown benefits from increased activity
related to the transit center-increases accessibility for both consumers
and employees.
Increasing rapid & reliable transit connections will make Downtown are
more attractive place for people to live and work in the Downtown (and
Tigard Triangle).
Why Important to Community: With a growing population, congestion isn't going away, however we
can increase options to help manage that growth

CONCLUDING RECOMMENDATIONS
Generally:
• People care about transportation-congestion is consistently#1 issue in community survey,
parking complainants, etc
• While changes to both people and places over time are inevitable,the City can plan for change.
Taking the time to plan for growth allows us as a community to decide how to grow and what to
preserve, to take guide and channel the change toward desirable outcomes
• Communities invest in public systems for transportation, parks, schools, and utilities not
because each individual will every component equally but because the community as a whole is
better when we have comprehensive systems that provides options for the whole community
• City has opportunities to take both short and long term actions to address transportation
challenges and constraints
o SW Corridor Plan is an short-term Investment Opportunity
o The Circulation Plan ensures new development contributes to increased
connectivity in the Downtown street grid over the long term
o Parking pressures on the supply of on-street parking are a good "problem"to have,
and reflects the increased activity in the Downtown, i.e. Growing Pains
SW Corridor Plan (SWCP)
SWCP is a community investment to increase transportation options and choices, it is an amenity for
mixed-use housing Downtown,and it's about much more than just HCT.
• No one transportation mode will meet the needs of Tigard's growing population, however
investing in transit and active transportation infrastructure offers choices for community's
residents today and in the future
• SWCP is an opportunity to invest in the transportation system that will benefit resident
throughout the city over the long term
• Plan is an opportunity to support mixed use and higher density housing development that are
desirable in the Downtown core
• Plan will provide infrastructure improvements and enhanced Tri-Met service beyond the HRT
corridor, including numerous bike\ped improvements that support the strategic plan
Communications Plan
• City Council
SW Corridor Plan (SWCP)
o SWCP will enhance the city's ability to revitalize the Downtown (and Tigard Triangle) and
implement the Strategic Plan
o SWCP investment by the city will leverage significant (last estimate was $1.2 billion) in
infrastructure improvements
o SHARED INVESTMENT STRATEGY- it's not all about the HRT corridor: it's also about enhance
Tri-Met service and the shared investment improvements, including new bike\ped
infrastructure
Page 5 of 10
May 11, 2016 Draft: Focus on SW Corridor Plan (SWCP)
City ofTigardCity CenterAdvisory Commission
o Don't focus on negative- let's focus on positives
■ Talking about congestion didn't work in 2014- let's talk about benefits of HCT and
the SWCP
■ options for our community and our kids in the future
■ Enhanced mobility and connectivity for people of all ages and abilities (including
economic ability)
■ While congestion is not going to go away, we can take action to change how bad it
will get in the future
• More people using alternatives means less competition for scare
highway\freeway capacity
• Business Owners
SW Corridor Plan (SWCP)
o Investing in transportation options now is a good long-term strategy
■ Future returns include positioning Downtown as an area that supports high-density
housing (captive customers), as a transportation hub that brings new consumers to
the area, and is accessible for employees
o Increased activity and people in the Downtown is desirable for increasing interest and
accessibility for products and services (aka sales), however as Downtown changes, we will
experience some growing pains-giving people (employees and consumers) alternatives to
driving personal vehicles will help reduce parking pressures
o Kids today don't drive as much as they used, and people of all ages are bicycling more-
including to their jobs. Investing in transportation options today, increases competitiveness
over the long term by ensuring our employees and the consumers who buy our products
and services will have a choices and options in future
• Laypeople:
SW Corridor Plan (SWCP)
o Growth is inevitable, people and places do changes, but planning for change allows us as a
community to decide how to grow and what to preserve
o Kids today don't drive as much as they used, and people of all ages are bicycling more-
included to their jobs, investing in transportation options today provides choices for people
later
o -aby boomers aren't going to be able to drive their own cars forever,we need to be thinking
ahead to how people will be getting around when they can no longer drive their personal
vehicles
o While congestion is not going to go away,we can take action to affect how bad it will get in
the future
■ More people using alternatives means less competition for scare highway\freeway
capacity
■ We have already built as much as we can to add lanes to HWY 99 and HWY 217
already and construction to add capacity is extremely limited for the future
Investment:
SW Corridor Plan (SWCP)
o If approved by voters in concept, city should dedicate CIP and other funding to SWCP
projects, including any HCT obligations
Page 6 of 10
May 11, 2016 Draft: Focus on SW Corridor Plan (SWCP)
City ofTigardCity CenterAdvisory Commission ,
o Council should continue to consider new revenue streams to fund a variety of
transportation infrastructure projects
o Council should continue to develop bike, ped and transit priorities, develop revenue streams
to support implementation of said priorities
Policy:
SW Corridor Plan (SWCP)
• CCAC should support SWCP and other efforts to provide a variety of transportation options in
the Downtown
• CCAC should investigate how to best publicly support SWCP (how does ballot measure affect our
communications, if at all^)
• CCAC should communicate to CCDA the importance and value of SWCP and other efforts to
advance multi-modal transportation in the Downtown area
• CCAC should communicate to CCDA the importance of redevelopment in the City Center Urban
Renewal Area for implementing the connectivity plan and increasing the connectivity in the
existing system
• CCAC should communicate that parking constraints are a sign of increased activity in the
Downtown and are a good "problem" to have
Project Date to Revisit This Topic:
• SW Corridor Plan should be briefly re-visited after the November election- next steps related to
SWCP highly dependent on election outcome
• Annually-Consider supporting a variety of transportation modes in Downtown as a CCAC goal
• CCAC should continue to track CIP projects related to transportation in the Downtown
