STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA201400001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 1 OF 30 SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History Most of the land in River Terrace, approximately 440 acres, was added to the UGB in 2002, at which time it was identified as Areas 63 and 64. Washington County completed the concept plan for Areas 63 and 64 in 2010. This plan is entitled the West Bull Mountain Concept Plan (WBMCP) and included Areas 63 and 64 and a rural subarea to the south of both areas that extended to Beef Bend Road. This rural subarea was included in the concept planning process to facilitate logical street connections and urban service extensions since Areas 63 and 64 were not contiguous to one another. Approximately 50 acres of this rural subarea was added to the UGB in 2011, at which time it was identified as Roy Rogers West (sometimes referred to as Area 4). Collectively these three areas, i.e. Area 63, Area 64, and Roy Rogers West, comprise the River Terrace planning area. Unlike the WBMCP, the River Terrace Community Plan (RTCP) does not include the remainder of the rural subarea (which is now an Urban Reserve Area) to the south of River Terrace. The entire 490-acre area that makes up River Terrace was annexed to the City in two batches. The first annexation petition was approved in 2011, and the second was approved in 2013. In 2012, Washington County and the City of Tigard entered into an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) whereby the County assigned and the City agreed to accept responsibility for preparing a community plan based on the concept planning efforts completed by the County in 2010. Pursuant to the IGA and in compliance with Metro Functional Plan Titles 11 and 14, the City agreed to "refine the County's West Bull Mountain Concept Plan (WBMCP) and provide a detailed land use, public infrastructure, governance, and financial planning framework for urban development of the concept planned area." In turn, the County agreed to support the City's efforts to complete the RTCP. On December 16, 2014, the City of Tigard adopted the River Terrace Community Plan, a long- range planning document that supplements the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. It is designed to guide development and investment in River Terrace over the next several decades as it transitions from rural to urban land uses. It is the result of many years of analysis and visioning by the community, City of Tigard leadership and staff, Washington County leadership and staff, and numerous partner agencies. Proposal Description The project includes text amendments to the Community Development Code (CDC), and associated Zoning Map Amendments necessary to implement the River Terrace Community Plan. Proposed changes include the adoption of a new Chapter (18.660) with the Community Development Code to create the River Terrace Plan District and the assignment of zoning districts on the city's Zoning Map to approximately 490 acres of land within River Terrace. River Terrace Plan District Chapter A new plan district chapter is proposed in the Community Development Code to implement key aspects of the River Terrace Community Plan. Plan districts provide a means to create a unique set of development regulations for specific areas that are defined in special plans or studies that work in tandem with base zone regulations to create the desired outcome. The city currently has five plan STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 2 OF 30 districts that include such diverse areas as downtown Tigard, Washington Square Mall, and the Tigard Triangle. The intent of the River Terrace Plan District is to address those development conditions that are unique to River Terrace and that were identified through the community planning process. Key elements include: Implementation of the River Terrace Boulevard design concept Alignment of the Planned Development open space requirements with the adopted parks master plan for River Terrace Provision or assurance of adequate public facilities prior to specific development approvals from the city. Zoning District Designations When Tigard City Council adopted the River Terrace Community Plan, it also adopted Comprehensive Plan designations for all land within River Terrace. Comprehensive Plan designations determine where certain kinds of land uses—such as residential or commercial uses— are allowed. Zoning District designations are more specific than land use designations and determine where specific development regulations apply by zone. There is one commercial zone and four residential zones proposed in River Terrace. The residential zones range from low-density residential (R-4.5) to medium high-density residential (R-25). Higher density zones are proposed near commercial uses and along major travel corridors. Lower density zones are proposed in areas with steep slopes and along the area's eastern and northern edges to provide a buffer between existing lower density neighborhoods and future higher density neighborhoods. The Zoning District designations being proposed are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designations that were recently adopted. Once Zoning District designations are adopted for this area, land use applications for development may be submitted to the city for review. Final development approval cannot be granted,however,until public facilities are provided or assured. SECTION IV. APPLICABLE CRITERIA, FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS This section contains all the applicable city, state and metro policies, provisions, and criteria that apply to the proposed comprehensive plan amendment. Each section is addressed demonstrating how each requirement is met. APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE TIGARD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE (TITLE 18) Chapter 18.380: Zoning and Text Amendments 18.380.020.A Legislative zoning map and text amendments shall be undertaken by Legislative means of a Type IV procedure, as governed by Section 18.309.060G Amendments FINDING: The proposed legislative amendments are being reviewed under the Type IV legislative procedure as set forth in the chapter. This procedure requires public hearings before both the Planning Commission and City Council. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 3 OF 30 Chapter 18.390:Decision-Making Procedures 18.390.020.B.4 Type IV procedures apply to legislative matters. Legislative matters Type IV involve the creation, revision, or large-scale implementation of Procedures public policy. Type IV matters are considered initially by the Planning Commission with final decisions made by the City Council. FINDING: This text amendment to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan and map amendments to the Tigard Zoning Map establish standards and procedures to be applied generally across the River Terrace Plan area, an area approximately 490 acres in size. Therefore it will be reviewed under the Type IV procedure as detailed in Section 18.390.060.G. In accordance with this section, the amendment is initially being considered by the Planning Commission with City Council making the final decision. 18.390.060.G. The recommendation by the Commission and the decision by the Decision-making Council shall be based on consideration of the following factors: considerations. 1. The Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines adopted under Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 197; 2. Any federal or state statutes or regulations found applicable; 3. Any applicable Metro regulations; 4. Any applicable comprehensive plan policies; and 5. Any applicable provisions of the City's implementing ordinances. FINDING: Findings and conclusions for the proposed text amendments to the Tigard Development Code, and map amendments to the Tigard Zoning Map, are provided within this report. Additional findings and conclusions regarding compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designations Map are also described below. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above and below, approval criteria for a Type IV decision are satisfied. APPLICABLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES Chapter 1: Citizen Involvement Goal 1.1 Provide citizens, affected agencies, and other jurisdictions the opportunity to participate in all phases of the planning process. Policy 2 The City shall define and publicize an appropriate role for citizens in each phase of the land use planning process. Policy 3 The City shall establish special citizen advisory boards and committees to provide input to the City Council, Planning Commission, and City staff. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 4 OF 30 Policy 5 The opportunities for citizen involvement provided by the City shall be appropriate to the scale of the planning effort and shall involve a broad cross-section of the community. FINDING: The proposed text and map amendments implement the River Terrace Community Plan. Citizens, affected agencies, and other jurisdictions were given the opportunity to participate in all phases of the River Terrace Community Plan process. The Plan describes opportunities like: Advisory committees—a Stakeholder Working Group (SWG), Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and Implementation Subcommittee were formed to advise the process. Community meetings—Eight were held prior to the adoption process. Online Tools—A blog and online forum were set up for public participation The proposed Zoning Map Amendments were revised and reviewed as part of the Community Plan process. The Stakeholder Working Group made up of River Terrace project stakeholders reviewed and recommended the proposed Zoning map to City Council. The River Terrace Plan District Chapter directly implements the adopted Community Plan and associated infrastructure master plans for water sewer, stormwater,parks, and transportation. For example, such policy considerations include: "Amend the Community Development Code and the Public Improvement Design Standards to implement the commercial area vision and design concept for River Terrace Boulevard." (Action Measure 3-2, RTCP) "Amend the Community Development Code to better align the open space requirements for Planned Developments in River Terrace with the River Terrace PSMP Addendum." (Action Measure 5-3,RTCP) Project stakeholders were invited to two meetings to discuss the draft Plan District Chapter, and the draft was available online for review and comment. In addition, several opportunities for participation are also built into the text and map amendment process,including: • Public Hearing notification requirements pursuant to Chapter 18.390.060 of the Tigard Community Development Code and Measure 56. Public hearing notice of the Planning Commission and City Council public hearings was sent to the interested STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA201400001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 5 OF 30 parties list and all River Terrace property owners. • A notice was published in the January 15, 2015 issue of The Tigard Times (in accordance with Tigard Development Code Chapter 18.390). The notice invited public input and included the phone number of a contact person to answer questions. The notice also included the address of the City's webpage where the entire draft of the text changes could be viewed. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings,Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 1.1 Policies 2, 3 and 5 are met. Goal 1.2 Ensure all citizens have access to: A. opportunities to communicate directly to the City; and B. information on issues in an understandable form. Policy 1 The City shall ensure pertinent information is readily accessible to the community and presented in such a manner that even technical information is easy to understand. Policy 2 The City shall utilize such communication methods as mailings, posters,newsletters, the internet, and any other available media to promote citizen involvement and continue to evaluate the effectiveness of methods used. Policy 4 The City shall ensure citizens receive a timely response from policymakers regarding recommendations made through the citizen involvement program. Policy 5 The City shall seek citizen participation and input through collaboration with community organizations,interest groups, and individuals in addition to City sponsored boards and committees. Policy 6 The City shall provide opportunities for citizens to communicate to Council, boards and commissions, and staff regarding issues that concern them. FINDING: The proposed text and map amendments implement the River Terrace Community Plan, and were discussed during development of the plan. The adopted River Terrace Community Plan describes how citizens could communicate directly to the city about the project and receive information on issues in an understandable form. Community Plan Goal 1: Public involvement lists opportunities like: Updates to City boards and commissions Presentations to neighborhood and special interest groups River Terrace project website, blog, and interactive maps Printed informational material and mailings STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON201400002 PAGE 6 OF 30 Citizen involvement led to several key River Terrace Community Plan refinements, including the type and location of Comprehensive Plan Designations which the proposed Zoning Map amendments will implement. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings,Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 1.2 Policies 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 are met. Chapter 2: Land Use Planning Goal 2.1 Maintain an up-to-date Comprehensive Plan, implementing regulations and action plans as the legislative basis of Tigard's land use planning program. Policy 1 The City's land use program shall establish a clear policy direction, comply with state and regional requirements, and serve its citizens' own interests. Policy 2 The City's land use regulations, related plans, and implementing actions shall be consistent with and implement its Comprehensive Plan. Policy 3 The City shall coordinate the adoption, amendment, and implementation of its land use program with other potentially affected jurisdictions and agencies. Policy 7 The City's regulatory land use maps and development code shall implement the Comprehensive Plan by providing for needed urban land uses including: A. Residential; B. Commercial and office employment including business parks; C. Mixed use; D. Industrial; E. Overlay districts where natural resource protections or special planning and regulatory tools are warranted; and F. Public services. Policy 12 The City shall provide a wide range of tools, such as planned development, design standards, and conservation easements, that encourage results such as: A. High quality and innovative design and construction; B. Land use compatibility; C. Protection of natural resources; D. Preservation of open space; and E. Regulatory flexibility necessary for projects to adapt to site conditions. Policy 20 The City shall periodically review and if necessary update its Comprehensive Plan and regulatory maps and implementing measures to ensure they are current and responsive to community STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001 /ZON2014-00002 PAGE 7 OF 30 needs,provide reliable information, and conform to applicable state law, administrative rules, and regional requirements. Policy 21 The City shall establish design standards to promote quality urban development and to enhance the community's value,livability, and attractiveness. FINDING: The goals and policies contained in the Tigard Comprehensive Plan provide the basis for the city's land use planning program. The River Terrace Community Plan is a product of this program and an ancillary Comprehensive Plan document. The proposed text and map amendments implement the goals and policies of these two documents for the River Terrace plan area. Together they provide for a variety of land uses and residential densities consistent with the community's desire to create a community of great neighborhoods that includes housing, neighborhood- scale commercial businesses, schools,parks and recreational opportunities. The proposed amendments create tools to achieve this through a mixture of zoning designations and new plan district standards that include new planned development options and design standards. As described in this staff report, the text and map amendments complies with all applicable statewide planning goals, regional regulations, comprehensive plan goals and policies, the Comprehensive Plan Designations map, and serves the interest of the citizens. The amendment ensures that the River Terrace area is urbanized efficiently. Potentially affected jurisdictions and agencies were given an opportunity to collaborate with staff. In addition, the city sent out a request for comments to all potentially affected jurisdictions and agencies.All were given 14 days to respond. Any comments that were received are addressed in Section VII: Outside Agency Comments. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings,Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 2.1 Policies 1, 2, 3, 7, 12, 20 and 21 are met. Policy 6 The City shall promote the development and maintenance of a range of land use types which are of sufficient economic value to fund needed services and advance the community's social and fiscal stability. Policy 8 The City shall require that appropriate public facilities are made available, or committed,prior to development approval and are constructed prior to, or concurrently with, development occupancy. Policy 9 The City may, upon determining it is in the public interest, enter into development agreements to phase the provision of required public facilities and services and/or payment of impact fees and/or other arrangements that assure the integrity of the infrastructure system and public safety. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 8 OF 30 Policy 10 The City shall institute fees and charges to ensure development pays for development related services and assumes the appropriate costs for impacts on the transportation and other public facility systems. Policy 13 The City shall plan for future public facility expansion for those areas within its Urban Planning Area that can realistically be expected to be within the City limits during the planning period. FINDING: This text and map amendment proposal provides for a variety of land uses and residential densities consistent with the community's desire to create a community of great neighborhoods that includes needed housing, neighborhood-scale commercial businesses, schools,parks and recreational opportunities. The River Terrace area is predominantly agricultural with some scattered, single-family homes served by minimal public services. As a result, the plan area does not yet contain infrastructure capable of supporting urban level development. City policies listed above require that appropriate public facilities be made available or committed to,prior to development approval, and are constructed before or concurrent with development occupancy. City policies also require the adoption of fees and charges necessary to ensure development pays for development-related services to mitigate impacts on public facility systems. In response to these and other policies and requirements, the following master plan documents were developed and adopted to facilitate the urbanization of the River Terrace area. ➢ River Terrace Park System Master Plan Addendum ➢ River Terrace Water System Master Plan Addendum ➢ River Terrace Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Addendum ➢ River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan ➢ River Terrace Transportation System Plan Addendum The plans include a list of infrastructure improvements necessary to accommodate the River Terrace area. A funding strategy for the implementation of these master plans was developed concurrently with the Community Plan and master plans, pursuant to state and regional requirements, and was adopted on December 16, 2014 alongside the River Terrace Master Plan. Additionally, a Citywide Infrastructure Financing Project is listed under Community Plan Implementation to update the city's existing utility fees and System Development Charges to finance the five master plans. In order to ensure required public infrastructure is available prior to or concurrent with development, the proposed amendments include procedures and standards pertaining to the adequacy of public facilities within River Terrace (Section 18.660.033 of the proposed plan district chapter). The City Council hereby interprets Policy 8 to permit development STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA201400001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 9 OF 30 applications to be filed in advance of full implementation of the Master Plans and Funding Strategy. An applicant may seek preliminary approval by qualifying to defer application of certain public facility standards until the final approval stage. Policy 8, and Section 18.660, however, prohibit final development approvals from being issued until public facilities as identified in the Master Plans or otherwise required under the Development Code are in place or assured. This interpretation balances the desire of some property owners and development interests to commence preliminary activities prior to full implementation of these plans so as to avoid losing a construction season with the requirement that no development rights vest or be granted until public facilities are assured or in place.. In addition to compliance with all other Development Code provisions relating to providing public facilities, within River Terrace an applicant would be required to demonstrate that the infrastructure financing components have been adopted and/or facilities are available to serve the proposed development. Should services or financing components not be in place, the applicant could request preliminary or conceptual approval, could build the required infrastructure, or request an exception to be considered through a land use procedure. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings,Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 2.1 Policies 6, 8, 9, 10, and 13 are met. Policy 15 In addition to other Comprehensive Plan goals and policies deemed applicable, amendments to Tigard's Comprehensive Plan/Zone Map shall be subject to the following specific criteria: A. Transportation and other public facilities and services shall be available, or committed to be made available, and of sufficient capacity to serve the land uses allowed by the proposed map designation; B. Development of land uses allowed by the new designation shall not negatively affect existing or planned transportation or other public facilities and services; C. The new land use designation shall fulfill a proven community need such as provision of needed commercial goods and services, employment, housing,public and community services, etc. in the particular location,versus other appropriately designated and developable properties; D. Demonstration that there is an inadequate amount of developable, appropriately designated,land for the land uses that would be allowed by the new designation; E. Demonstration that land uses allowed in the proposed designation could be developed in compliance with all applicable regulations and the purposes of any overlay district would be fulfilled; F. Land uses permitted by the proposed designation would be STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON201400002 PAGE 10 OF 30 compatible, or capable of being made compatible,with environmental conditions and surrounding land uses; and G. Demonstration that the amendment does not detract from the viability of the City's natural systems. FINDING: The proposed amendment to zoning map meets the following specific criteria: Sufficient capacity/not negatively impact: As described previously in this report, the proposed map amendments are being adopted concurrently with plan district approval standards and review processes that will ensure adequate facilities will be made available or assured prior to or concurrent with development, as set forth in the River Terrace Community Plan and five infrastructure master plans. Fulfills a proven community need: A majority of the land in River Terrace is proposed for new housing. A citywide analysis of housing needs and capacity in 2012 found that Tigard has an estimated need for just over 6,500 new housing units over the next 20 years. Over 50% of the city's overall need (3,744 housing units) could be absorbed by River Terrace development. Demonstration of inadequacy: A significant portion of the city's estimated capacity for needed housing is assumed to come from River Terrace. Demonstration of compliance: The River Terrace Community Plan utilizes the city's existing Comprehensive Plan and zoning district designations. Compatibility: Higher residential densities are planned near commercial and institutional uses and along major transportation corridors. Lower residential densities are planned in areas with steep slopes and along the area's eastern edge to provide a buffer between existing lower density neighborhoods and future higher density neighborhoods. Viability of natural systems: The city's natural resource maps were updated in 2014 to ensure that these areas are protected. The city's exiting protection programs for natural resource will apply to all development within the newly zoned areas. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings,Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 2.1 Policy 15 is met. Chapter 6: Environmental Quality Goal 6.1 Reduce air pollution and improve air quality in the community and region. Policy 3 The City shall promote land use patterns,which reduce dependency on the automobile, are compatible with existing neighborhoods, and increase opportunities for walking,biking, and /or public transit. Policy 6 The City shall encourage the maintenance and improvement of open spaces,natural resources, and the City's tree canopy to sustain their STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON201400002 PAGE 11 OF 30 positive contribution to air quality. FINDING: The proposed plan district standards and map amendments support the city's adopted environmental quality goals and policies. Specifically: Land use patterns: The River Terrace zoning designations will allow for more intense urban land uses that reduce the dependency on the automobile and increase opportunities for walking,biking, and public transit. Multi-modal travel options: River Terrace Boulevard is designed to seamlessly integrate the River Terrace Trail into its design,provide safe and comfortable multi-modal travel options, and include high- quality pedestrian-scale design treatments. The River Terrace Plan District chapter will implement these changes through Boulevard Design Standards and Street Design standards set forth in the proposed plan district. Open Space: The River Terrace Boulevard cross section requires an 8.5 foot planter strip in addition to a 38 foot wide trail section. Planned development standards encourage the dedication of neighborhood or linear parks, open space, and/or trails identified in the River Terrace Park System Master Plan Addendum. Additional open space and corridor enhancements not included in the Park System Master Plan are also encouraged. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 6.1 Policies 3 and 6 are met. Chapter 7: Hazards Goal 7.1 Protect people and property from flood, landslide, earthquake, wildfire, and severe weather hazards. Policy 3 The City shall coordinate land use and public facility planning with public safety providers (law enforcement, fire safety, and emergency service providers) to ensure their capability to respond to hazard events. FINDING: The city's public safety providers (law enforcement and Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue) served as members of the Technical Advisory Committee for this project. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings,Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 7.1 Policy 3 is met. Chapter 8: Parks, Recreation,Trails, and Open Space Goal 8.1 Provide a wide variety of high quality park and open spaces for all residents, including both: A. developed areas with facilities for active recreation; and STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 12 OF 30 B. undeveloped areas for nature-oriented recreation and the protection and enhancement of valuable natural resources within the parks and open space system. Policy 3 The City shall seek to achieve or exceed the ideal park service level standard of 11.0 acres of parkland per thousand population. Policy 4 The City shall endeavor to develop neighborhood parks [or neighborhood park facilities within other parks, such as a linear park] located within a half-mile of every resident to provide access to active and passive recreation opportunities for residents of all ages. Policy 21 Acceptance of any land donated for park purposes shall be based upon its usefulness and adaptability to the Park System Master Plan. FINDING: The city's adopted Level of service (LOS) standards for parks were used in planning for the River Terrace. Overall, the city is proposing to exceed the city's (updated) core standard by over 37 acres as set forth in the recently adopted River Terrace Park System Master Plan. The full range of park types is envisioned in River Terrace to provide access for both active and passive recreation. In lieu of identifying specific park locations,parks are conceptually located within service areas to show where community and neighborhood parks would be needed to meet LOS standards and achieve the goal of having an equitable distribution of parks in the area. The proposed text amendments would incentivize the development of park facilities through the adoption of new planned development approval standards that allow for a reduction in private open space dedication (normally 20%),when the proposed dedication meets a park, open space, or trail need identified in the River Terrace Park System Master Plan,will be dedicated to the public, and meets both the location and level of service standard. Additional enhancements are also encouraged such as the de construction of park facilities along a trail corridor. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings,Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 8.1 Policies 3, 4 and 21 are met. Goal 8.2 Create a Citywide network of interconnected on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle trails. Policy 1 The City shall create an interconnected regional and local system of on- and off-road trails and paths that link together neighborhoods, parks, open spaces, major urban activity centers, and regional recreational opportunities utilizing both public property and easements on private property. FINDING: The River Terrace Community Plan addresses trails in two sections - Goal 8: Parks,Recreation,Trails, and Open Space and Goal 12: Transportation.As stated in the Community Plan, the River Terrace Transportation System Plan STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 13 OF 30 Addendum envisions a comprehensive trail system for pedestrians and cyclists that links the many existing natural resources areas,proposed parks, future schools and services, and other planned regional trails in the area. The trail system is consistent with the River Terrace Park System Master Plan Addendum, the city's Strategic Plan for walkability, and the Metro Regional Trails and Greenways Plan. Proposed text amendments are intended to implement the trail goals of the River Terrace Community Plan through several mechanisms. Design standards for River Terrace Boulevard include a 38-foot wide regional trail corridor in addition to sidewalks, and pedestrian connections between this trail and adjacent residential development. Planned Development standards incentivize the creation, dedication, and/or enhancement of enhanced pedestrian connections and public trails. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings,Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 8.2 Policy 1 is met. Chapter 10: Housing Goal 10.1 Provide opportunities for a variety of housing types at a range of price levels to meet the diverse housing needs of current and future City residents. Policy 1 The City shall adopt and maintain land use policies, codes, and standards that provide opportunities to develop a variety of housing types that meet the needs, preferences and financial capabilities of Tigard's present and future residents. FINDING: Proposed zoning map amendments are consistent with goals of the River Terrace Community Plan. River Terrace stakeholders prioritized a range of residential densities to provide diverse housing types, a variety of housing choices, and integration with existing adjacent Bull Mountain neighborhoods when designing the land use framework for River Terrace. The proposed land uses meet state and Metro requirements for density and the opportunity for attached housing. Approximate acreages, estimated capacity, and allowed housing types are as follows: Estimated Capacity Zone Approximate Acres (Units) R-4 51.03 296 R-7 190.02 1654 R-12 64.04 914 R-25 29.93 880 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 14 OF 30 Single- Single- Family Family Zones Detached Attached Duplexes Multifamily R-4.5 Permitted Restricted Conditional No R-7 Permitted Restricted/ Permitted No Conditional R-12 Permitted Permitted Permitted Permitted R-25 Permitted Permitted Permitted Permitted CONCLUSION Based on the above findings, Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 10.1 Policy 1 is met. Goal 10.2 Maintain a high level of residential livability. Policy 2 The City shall seek to provide multi-modal transportation access from residential neighborhoods to transit stops, commercial services, employment, and other activity centers. Policy 5 The City shall encourage housing that supports sustainable development patterns by promoting the efficient use of land, conservation of natural resources, easy access to public transit and other efficient modes of transportation, easy access to services and parks, resource efficient design and construction, and the use of renewable energy resources. Policy 6 The City shall promote innovative and well-designed housing development through application of planned developments and community design standards for multi-family housing. Policy 7 The City shall ensure that residential densities are appropriately related to locational characteristics and site conditions such as the presence of natural hazards and natural resources, availability of public facilities and services, and existing land use patterns. Policy 8 The City shall require measures to mitigate the adverse impacts from differing, or more intense,land uses on residential living environments, such as: A. orderly transitions from one residential density to another; B. protection of existing vegetation, natural resources and provision of open space areas; and C. installation of landscaping and effective buffering and screening. FINDING: The proposed text amendments ensure development complies with the multi-modal transportation goals and placemaking visions of the River Terrace Community Plan and Transportation System Plan Addendum. The proposed plan district will establish transportation improvement standards to help established a multi-modal transportation system that is designed to STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 15 OF 30 connect River Terrace to existing and future neighborhoods, services,parks, schools and regional destinations through a hierarchy of streets and trails that provide residents and visitors with convenient, safe and comfortable travel options. This network of multi-modal streets conforms to the rolling topography,builds upon and connects to existing streets in the area,and effectively balances safety, comfort and mobility. The proposed zoning designations place higher residential densities near commercial and institutional uses and along major corridors in order to reduce dependency on vehicles. Lower residential densities are planned in areas with steep slopes and along the area's eastern edge to provide a buffer between existing lower density neighborhoods and future higher density neighborhoods. The River Terrace Community plan encourages the co- location of land uses (e.g. parks and trails),public facilities (e.g. stormwater facilities and pump stations), and natural resource areas to maximize the efficient use of land and to create opportunities for community amenities. The city's current development code, specifically relating to buffering and screening,will apply to the River Terrace plan area ensuring orderly transition of residential densities. The city's current planned development code will also apply to River Terrace, and will be enhanced through the proposed text amendment to implement the vision and goals of the River Terrace Community Plan. Design standards proposed in the River Terrace Plan District,particularly along River Terrace Boulevard,will establish result in high-quality residential and civic development that will enhance the public realm and provide for enhanced livability. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 10.2 Policies 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are met. Chapter 11: Public Facilities and Services Goal 11.1 Develop and maintain a stormwater system that protects development, water resources, and wildlife habitat.

Policy 6 The City shall support land use patterns that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and preserve the function of the transportation system. Policy 7 The City shall strive to protect the natural environment from impacts derived from transportation facilities. Policy 9 The City shall coordinate with private and public developers to provide access via a safe, efficient, and balanced transportation system. FINDING: The proposed River Terrace Plan District includes approval criteria, street and alley design standards, requirements and incentives for trail connections, and adjustment processes to respond to environmental features. These designs are based on the goals and findings of the River Terrace Community Plan and River Terrace Transportation Master Plan Addendum, and are intended to accommodate all modes of travel for users of all ages and abilities where possible. They are also designed to safely connect people to where they need to go,providing residents and visitors with a number of travel choices to their destinations. The streets are also envisioned to be STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 18 OF 30 more than just places for automobile travel,recognizing that they are also where people gather,walk, bike, access transit, and park their vehicles. The proposed zoning map amendments higher residential densities near commercial and institutional uses and along major corridors to reduce dependency on vehicles. The River Terrace TSP Addendum envisions a comprehensive trail system for pedestrians and cyclists that links the many existing natural resource areas, proposed parks, future schools and services, and other planned regional trails in the area. The proposed plan district standards include space for the River Terrace Trail in the River Terrace Boulevard cross-section, require connections to the trail from adjacent land uses, and provide incentives for trail construction within the Planned Development standards proposed for the plan district. The plan district language recognizes that street alignments and intersections should avoid and/or minimize impacts to identified natural resource areas wherever possible, and an adjustment process is also included to minimize or avoid resource impacts. Proposed street design standards are based on input and recommendations documented during the River Terrace Community Plan process. Potentially affected jurisdictions, agencies, and other stakeholders were given an opportunity to collaborate with staff. In addition, the city sent out a request for comments to all potentially affected jurisdictions, agencies, and stakeholders. All were given 14 days to respond. Any comments that were received are addressed in Section VII: Outside Agency Comments. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12.1 Policies 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are met. Goal 12.2 Develop and maintain a transportation system for the efficient movement of people and goods. Policy 3 The City shall design streets to encourage a reduction in trip length by improving arterial, collector, and local street connections. Policy 4 The City shall design arterial routes, highway access, and adjacent land uses in ways that facilitate the efficient movement of people, goods and services. FINDING: The proposed text amendments include street connectivity standards intended to reduce trip lengths and increase the efficient movement of people for all modes of transportation. To facilitate connections for development adjacent to River Terrace Boulevard, a primary multi-modal transportation corridor within the plan area, the proposed standards allow development to increase street spacing beyond the 530 foot standard applicable in the rest of the city. The purpose of this exception is to reduce STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 19 OF 30 the number of street crossings for pedestrian and bicycle users utilizing River Terrace Boulevard. Mitigating the increased distance between intersections is a requirement for a bicycle or pedestrian easement to connect to River Terrace Boulevard at an increase spacing of one connection every 330 feet and a reduction in maximum block perimeter length. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12.2 Policies 3 and 4 are met. Goal 12.3 Provide an accessible, multi-modal transportation system that meets the mobility needs of the community. Policy 4 The City shall support and prioritize bicycle,pedestrian, and transit improvements for transportation disadvantaged populations who may be dependent on travel modes other than private automobile. Policy 5 The City shall develop and maintain neighborhood and local connections to provide efficient circulation in and out of the neighborhoods. Policy 8 The City shall design all projects on Tigard city streets to encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel. Policy 10 The City shall require and/or facilitate the construction of off-street trails to develop pedestrian and bicycle connections that cannot be provided by a street. Policy 11 The City shall require appropriate access to bicycle and pedestrian facilities for all schools,parks,public facilities, and commercial areas. FINDING: The proposed River Terrace Plan District includes approval criteria, street and alley design standards, and both requirements and incentives for bike/ped trail connections within the River Terrace Plan Area and connections to regional trails that continue beyond the plan area. These designs are based on the goals and findings of the River Terrace Community Plan and River Terrace Transportation Master Plan Addendum, and are intended to accommodate all modes of travel for users of all ages and abilities where possible. They are also designed to safely connect people to where they need to go,providing residents and visitors with a number of travel choices to their destinations. The streets are also envisioned to be more than just places for automobile travel, recognizing that they are also where people gather,walk, bike, access transit, and park their vehicles. The River Terrace TSP Addendum envisions a comprehensive trail system for pedestrians and cyclists that links the many existing natural resource areas,proposed parks, future schools and services, and other planned regional trails in the area. The proposed plan district standards include space for the River Terrace Trail in the River Terrace Boulevard cross-section, a separate bike trail, required connections to the River Terrace trail from STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 20 OF 30 adjacent land uses, and incentives for trail construction within the Planned Development standards proposed for the plan district. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12.3 Policies 4, 5, 8, 10 and 11 are met. Goal 12.4 Maintain and improve transportation system safety. Policy 1 The City shall consider the intended uses of a street during the design to promote safety, efficiency, and multi-modal needs. Policy 2 The City shall coordinate with appropriate agencies to provide safe, secure, connected, and desirable pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit facilities. FINDING: The River Terrace Plan District establishes design standards for streets within the plan district. The River Terrace Boulevard cross-section requires sidewalks separated by planter strips, a bike trail, and a regional trail in a 38 foot right of way. Proposed design standards for collectors include a sidewalk separated by a planter strip and dedicated bike lanes. These design features promote safety, efficiency, and enhance the user experience along the main north-south access road for the plan area. The design standards proposed in the River Terrace Plan District are based on recommendations provided during the River Terrace Community Plan process,which included guidance from a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC included members from Metro, Oregon Department of Transportation,the City of Beaverton, and Washington County, as well as other affected agencies and jurisdictions. The City sent out a request for comments on the proposed text amendment sto all potentially affected jurisdictions and agencies.All were given 14 days to respond.Any comments that were received are addressed in Section VII of this Staff Report. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12.4 Policies 1 and 2 are met. Goal 12.5 Coordinate planning, development, operation, and maintenance of the transportation system with appropriate agencies. Policy 1 The City shall coordinate and cooperate with adjacent agencies and service providers—including Metro,TriMet, ODOT,Washington County, and neighboring cities—when appropriate, to develop transportation projects which benefit the region as a whole, in addition to the City of Tigard. FINDING: The design standards proposed in the River Terrace Plan District are based on recommendations provided during the River Terrace Community Plan STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 21 OF 30 process,which included guidance from a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).

CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 12.5 Policy 1 is met. Chapter 13: Energy Conservation Goal 13.1 Reduce energy consumption. Policy 1 The City shall promote the reduction of energy consumption associated with vehicle miles traveled through: A. land use patterns that reduce dependency on the automobile; B. public transit that is reliable, connected, and efficient; and C. bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure that is safe and well connected. FINDING: The proposed text and map amendments support the city's adopted energy conservation goals and policies. The River Terrace Plan District and associated zoning map amendments are intended to enable residents in the River Terrace area to safely and efficiently travel between destinations via any number of active transportation modes, such as walking and biking. A system of sidewalks, bikeways, and trails will provide access to key destinations such as parks, schools, and commercial areas. The zoning designations place higher residential densities near commercial and institutional uses and along major corridors reducing the dependency on vehicles. The proposed zone designations also make transit a viable option in the future. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 13.1 Policy 1 is met. APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE RIVER TERRACE COMMUNITY PLAN Goal 2:Land Use Planning Action Measure 1 Adopt the Comprehensive Plan and zoning district designations shown on Maps 1 and 2 respectively. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON201400002 PAGE 22 OF 30 Action Measure 2 Amend the Community Development Code and the Public Improvement Design Standards to implement the commercial area vision and design concept for River Terrace Boulevard. FINDING: The proposed map amendments would adopt zoning designations consistent with Maps 1 and 2 of the River Terrace Community Plan. The proposed text amendments would adopt design standards for River Terrace Boulevard and adjacent development (18.660.040-080). A placeholder within the proposed code creates a space and context for the future adoption of commercial area design standards. CONCLUSION: Based on the finding above, Action Measure 1 and 2 of Goal 2 of the River Terrace Community Plan are satisfied. Goal 8: Parks, Recreation, Trail, and Open Space Action Measure 3 Amend the Community Development Code to better align the open space requirements for Planned Developments in River Terrace with the River Terrace PSMP Addendum. Action Measure 6 Amend the Community Development Code and the Public Improvement Design Standards to implement the design concept for River Terrace Boulevard,which includes the River Terrace Trail. FINDING: The proposed River Terrace Plan District standards (18.660.060) provide greater flexibility to developers through changes to the planned development process (18.660.060) and encourage the dedication or enhancement of public parks, open space, and trails consistent with the River Terrace Parks System Master Plan Addendum. The proposed River Terrace Plan District standards to implement the River Terrace Boulevard and River Terrace Trail, as set forth proposed section 18.660.050 through 18.660.080. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings above, Action Measures 3 and 6 of Goal 8 of the River Terrace Community Plan are satisfied. Goal 10:Housing Action Measure 1 Adopt the Comprehensive Plan and zoning district designations described in the section on Land Use to facilitate a mix of residential densities that allows for a variety of housing types in order to comply with the Metropolitan Housing Rule and to meet a wide range of housing needs. FINDING: Proposed amendments to the Tigard Zoning Map are consistent with Maps 1 and 2 of the River Terrace Community Plan, and are intended to provide a variety of housing types consistent with the goals of the STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 23 OF 30 community plan and Metropolitan Housing Rule. CONCLUSION: Based on the finding above, Action Measure 1 of Goal 10 of the River Terrace Community Plan is satisfied. Goal 12: Transportation Action Measure 4 Amend the Community Development Code and the Public Improvement Design Standards to allow for needed zoning and design flexibility along the entire length of River Terrace Boulevard while staying true to the design concept. FINDING: An adjustment process has been incorporated into the River Terrace Boulevard Design Standards (18.660.060) and Street Design standards (18.660.070). Exceptions to street connections and block perimeter standards are also proposed in plan district standards regarding Street Connectivity (18.660.080). Together, these will help implement the design concept. CONCLUSION: Based on the finding above, Action Measure 4 of Goal 12 of the River Terrace Community Plan is satisfied. Goal 14: Urbanization Action Measure 2 Adopt the Comprehensive Plan and zoning district designations shown on Maps 1 and 2 respectively. Action Measure 3 Work with the development community and affected service providers to fund and construct the public facilities needed in River Terrace in accordance with the recommendations in the various River Terrace infrastructure master plans and the River Terrace Funding Strategy. FINDING: Proposed changes to the Tigard Zoning Map are consistent with maps 1 and 2 of the River Terrace Community Plan. As discussed in greater detail under findings pertaining to Comprehensive Plan Goal 2.1, the proposed River Terrace Plan District includes standards and procedures relating to the adequacy of needed public services. The City has engaged the development community and affected service providers in a collaborative process to develop clear and objective standards and flexible options to ensure infrastructure is constructed and funded in accordance with the five master plan addendums and the River Terrace Funding Strategy. CONCLUSION: Based on the finding above,Action Measures 2 and 3 of the River Terrace Community Plan is satisfied. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 24 OF 30 APPLICABLE METRO REGULATIONS Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 1 Housing Capacity-The Regional Framework Plan calls for a compact urban form and a "fair-share" approach to meeting regional housing needs. It is the purpose of Title 1 to accomplish these policies by requiring each city and county to maintain or increase its housing capacity. FINDING: Title 1 facilitates the efficient use of land within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The Title requires cities and counties to determine their capacity for housing and adopt minimum density requirements. Title 1 also requires cities and counties to report changes in capacity annually to Metro. Proposed map changes will establish housing capacity within the River Terrace area, by assigning zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Designations Map and Maps 1 and 2 of the River Terrace Community Plan. The plan and map amendments were completed following the rules outlined in OAR 660, Division 7 (Metropolitan Housing). The proposed text and map amendments will implement policy related to a 20-year supply of land, and do not affect compliance with Title 1. Both Metro and Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development staff were provided the opportunity to review and comment on all work leading up to the adoption of the River Terrace Community Plan, as members of the Technical Advisory Committee informing its development. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 1 is met. Title 11 Planning for New Urban Areas -The Regional Framework Plan calls for long-range planning to ensure that areas brought into the UGB are urbanized efficiently and become or contribute to mixed-use, walkable, transit friendly communities. It is the purpose of Title 11 to guide such long-range planning for urban reserves and areas added to the UGB. It is also the purpose of Title 11 to provide interim protection for areas added to the UGB until city or county amendments to land use regulations to allow urbanization become applicable to the areas. FINDING: The River Terrace Community Plan was found in conformance with the requirements of Metro Functional Plan Title 11. The function of Title 11 is to ensure areas like River Terrace,which have been brought into the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) for urban development purposes, are efficiently urbanized and developed as complete communities. The proposed text and map amendments to the Development Code and Zoning Map will help to implement the vision of the River Terrace Community Plan and accommodate future population growth in a livable community characterized by high quality development and adequate public facilities. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 25 OF 30 CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 11 is met. Regional Transportation Functional Plan Title 1 Transportation System Design 3.08.110 Street System Design E. If proposed residential or mixed-use development of five or more acres involves construction of a new street, the city and county regulations shall require the applicant to provide a site plan that: 1. Is consistent with the conceptual new streets map required by subsection D; 2. Provides full street connections with spacing of no more than 530 feet between connections, except if prevented by barriers such as topography, rail lines, freeways,pre-existing development,leases, easements or covenants that existed prior to May 1, 1995, or by requirements of Titles 3 and 13 of the UGMFP; 3. If streets must cross water features protected pursuant to Title 3 UGMFP,provides a crossing every 800 to 1,200 feet unless habitat quality or the length of the crossing prevents a full street connection; 4. If full street connection is prevented,provides bicycle and pedestrian accessways on public easements or rights-of-way spaced such that accessways are not more than 330 feet apart, unless not possible for the reasons set forth in paragraph 3; 5. Provides for bike and pedestrian accessways that cross water features protected pursuant to Title 3 of the UGMFP at an average of 530 feet between accessways unless habitat quality 6. If full street connection over water features protected pursuant to Title 3 of the UGMFP cannot be constructed in centers as defined in Title 6 of the UGMFP or Main Streets shown on the 2040 Growth Concept Map, or if spacing of full street connections exceeds 1,200 feet,provides bike and pedestrian crossings at an average of 530 feet between accessways unless habitat quality or the length of the crossing prevents a connection; 7. Limits cul-de-sac designs or other closed-end street designs to circumstances in which barriers prevent full street extensions and limits the length of such streets to 200 feet and the number of dwellings along the street to no more than 25; and 8. Provides street cross-sections showing dimensions of right-of-way improvements and posted or expected speed limits. FINDING: Proposed River Terrace Plan District standards include plan area specific standards for street connections and block perimeter standards. This includes an exception to allow an increase in spacing standards beyond the regional standard of 5300 feet, and a reduction in maximum block perimeters from 2,000 to 1,600 feet. To improve local access and circulation, and preserve capacity on the region's arterial system, each local Transportation System Plan must include STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 26 OF 30 a conceptual map of new streets for all contiguous areas of vacant and redevelopable lots and parcels of five or more acres that are zoned to allow residential or mixed-use development. Full street connections should be provided at least every 530 feet (or 1/10th of a mile) or pedestrian and bicycle connections every 330 feet if a full-street connection is not possible. Cul-de-sac or other closed-end street designs are also restricted to circumstances in which barriers prevent full street extensions and such streets are limited in length to 200 feet and the number of dwellings along the street to no more than 25. The City of Tigard street spacing standards in TDC 18.810 are consistent with the Metro Regional Transportation Functional Plan, requiring full street connections every 530 feet . City standards also require the perimeter of blocks to not exceed 2,000 feet in length, and requires pedestrian and bicycle connections every 330 feet if full street connections are not possible, consistent with the regional standard. River Terrace Boulevard,which is parallel to and east of Roy Rogers Road, is envisioned as a boulevard that seamlessly integrates the River Terrace Trail into its design. In order to successfully balance vehicle mobility with safety and comfort of pedestrian and bicycle users on the River Terrace Trail, motor vehicle crossings of the trail will be limited. The trail and associated drainage/bioswale surrounding it provides a barrier to complying with the Metro and City street spacing standard of 530 feet. Coordination with Metro staff indicated that these conditions provide valid justification to deviate from these standards. Where spacing between full street connections exceeds 530 feet, midblock pedestrian and bicycle connections must be provided every 330 feet, to be consistent with the City and regional standard. Overall, the deviation from the street spacing standard will have little impact on motor vehicle circulation, since the proposed River Terrace Boulevard is less than 700 feet east of Roy Rogers Road, leaving little room for continuous blocks. In addition, Washington County restricts direct access to arterial streets (such as Roy Rogers Road) to other arterial or collector streets. Therefore, east-to-west motor vehicle circulation will be limited to neighborhood traffic. To encourage multi-modal travel within River Terrace and help mitigate for the extended street spacing allowed on River Terrace Boulevard, the City standard for block perimeter length (currently at 2,000 feet) is recommended to be reduced to 1,600 feet. In locations where the block perimeters must exceed 1,600 feet, midblock pedestrian and bicycle connections must be provided every 330 feet, to be consistent with the City and regional street spacing standard. Overall, longer street blocks are inconvenient and unsafe for pedestrians, indirectly encouraging mid-street crossings as the only practical means to access places directly across the street and often requiring pedestrians to go out of their way to get to their destination. Longer blocks also encourage higher vehicle speeds due to fewer traffic calming mechanisms that shorter blocks with more frequent intersections provide. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 27 OF 30 Shorter blocks also provide flexibility and options for pedestrians and bicyclists, allowing for more direct and convenient travel, while offering more opportunities to safely access destinations. CONCLUSION: Based on the above findings, Metro's Regional Transportation Functional Plan Street System Design standards are met. THE STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS AND GUIDELINES ADOPTED UNDER OREGON REVISED STATUTES CHAPTER 197 The City's Comprehensive Plan incorporated the Statewide Planning Goals and was acknowledged by the state as being in compliance with state law; therefore, the Statewide Goals are addressed under the Comprehensive Plan Policies Sections. The following Statewide Planning Goals are applicable: Goal 1: Citizen Involvement; Goal 2: Land Use Planning; Goal 6: Air,Water and Land Resources Quality; Goal 7: Areas subject to Natural Hazards; Goal 8: Recreational Needs; Goal 10: Housing; Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services; Goal 12: Transportation; Goal 13: Energy Conservation; Goal 14: Urbanization. SECTION VI. ADDITIONAL CITY STAFF COMMENTS The City of Tigard's Administrative Department, Public Works Department, and Police Department had an opportunity to review this proposal and had no objections. SECTION VII. OUTSIDE AGENCY COMMENTS The following agencies/jurisdictions had an opportunity to review this proposal and did not respond: Washington County, Department of Land Use and Transportation City of King City Beaverton School District #48 Metro Land Use and Planning Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 1 Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Oregon Public Utilities Commission US Army Corps of Engineers Century Link Clean Water Services Comcast Cable Metro Area Communications Commission NW Natural Portland General Electric Tri-Met Verizon STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DCA2014-00001/ZON2014-00002 PAGE 28 OF 30 City of Beaverton had an opportunity to review this proposal and suggested edits for clarity. Suggested changes were reviewed and incorporated into the proposed draft where appropriate. Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue had an opportunity to review this proposal and had no objections. Department of State Lands had an opportunity to review this proposal and had no comments on the proposed amendments. Tigard-Tualatin School District had an opportunity to review the proposal and requested an exemption be placed within the River Terrace Plan District to exempt school sites from Tigard Development Code 18.810.030(H) which regulates street alignments and connections. As detailed communicated in an email from Kelly Hossaini on January 22, 2015, the District has found this subsection difficult to meet without bisecting a school facility with a public street, citing Alberta Rider Elementary as a specific example. In recognition of the unique campus needs for public schools, as well as the need for neighborhood connectivity, the proposed draft amendments include an exemption to street spacing requirements for public and private schools, provided there is adequate internal circulation within and through the site and a sufficient number and distribution of external access points. SECTION VII. PUBLIC COMMENTS Three parties submitted multiple comments on the proposed text amendments: Metropolitan Land Group, West Hills Development, and Polygon Northwest. A staff summary and response to these comments is included in Attachment"4" to this report. SECTION IX. CONCLUSION The proposed changes comply with the applicable Statewide Planning Goals, applicable regional, state and federal regulations, the Tigard Comprehensive Plan, and applicable provisions of the City's implementing ordinances. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the following amendments to the Tigard City Council as determined through the public hearing process. 1.

So, I did some research and was able to dig out of my old files what I was remembering. In 2003/2004,TTSD was developing the Alberta Rider Elementary School site. I only got involved in that effort after the hearings officer at the time approved the CUP for the school and the neighbors appealed that decision to city council. (The neighbors subsequently dropped the appeal.) One of the big issues with respect to the CUP was the fact that the school development was not going to meet 18.810.030(H) and so had to get a variance approved. As you will see from the attached hearings officer decision, the variance was a complicated, messy bone of contention. While the circumstances surrounding the school site in River Terrace are somewhat different from those surrounding Alberta Rider,the important fact is that staff applied 18.810.030(H)to the school site and took the position that nothing exempted the school site from that provision. I would like to avoid the possibility of another go-around with 18.810.030(H) and a school site. I don't think anyone would seriously argue that school campuses should have public streets gridded through them. As we planned for River Terrace, I don't think anyone assumed or expected that the school site would have an east-west public street running through it. Adding an exemption in the new River Terrace development code section would not run afoul of either the TPR or the Metro Regional Transportation Functional Plan. The TPR requires connectivity, but does not spell out exact standards for connectivity. That is left to the local jurisdiction's discretion. The Metro Regional Transportation Function Plan requires the 530-foot spacing requirement, but only for residential and mixed use developments. (Metro Code 3.08.110(2), (5), and (6).) I didn't find anything in the City's comprehensive plan or TSP that would preclude the exemption. I think everyone would probably agree that the most important thing for a school site is to have adequate vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle access to the school site, and then probably to have adequate pedestrian and bicycle access through it. I think the transportation planning done in conjunction with the River Terrace community planning effort assures that. Let me know what you think after you review this information. Thanks much - Kelly Kelly Hossaini Partner, Real Estate, Land Use, and Environmental Team Leader Miller Nash Graham & Dunn LLP From: Hossaini, Kelly Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2015 9:27 AM To: 'Kim McMillan' Cc: 'Susan Shanks' Subject: RE: River Terrace Plan District 1 Hi, Kim - Thanks for the response. So, it sounds like it is the City's interpretation that 18.810.040(B)trumps 18.810.030(H)? If so, my only lingering concern about 18.810.040(B) is that (1)(c) allows an exception for nonresidential blocks for which internal public circulation provides "equivalent access." I'm not sure that's going to be true in this case. The school site will have internal vehicular access, but it won't be for the public to get from River Terrace Boulevard to the extension of 161st. It will have bike and pedestrian access open to the public, but I think it can be argued that that doesn't provide public circulation equivalent to a street. It may be that we need an exception in 18.660 for clarity. I'm not worried so much about City staff imposing some requirement that the District put a public street through the middle of its campus- it's more to guard against some possible opponent to the school site development in the future making an issue of it. I would hope no one would do that, but I've seen opponents use all kinds of things to their advantage as long as there's a plausible argument they can make. Thanks much - Kelly From: Kim McMillan [mailto:KIM@tigard-or.gov] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2015 3:27 PM To: Hossaini, Kelly Cc: Susan Shanks Subject: FW: River Terrace Plan District Hi Kelly, In reading your email below, I don't know that we need an exception to the code for street spacing for the school property. I would suggest your application address TDC 18.810.040 Blocks. Section B1.a provides an exception to blocks greater than 2000 feet for nonresidential blocks in which internal public circulation provides equivalent access.

I took a look at the proposed Chapter 18.660, River Terrace Plan District, and don't really have any issues with respect to TTSD. I do have a question,though. The District's property is approximately 660 by 1300 feet. I know the Tigard Development Code wants to see streets spaced at no more than 530 feet. Should there be some exception in Chapter 18.660 for the school property with respect to the 530 feet? I don't believe that the City has interpreted its code in the past to apply the 530 feet standard to school sites (for obvious reasons), but it might be a good idea to make that clear in 18.660 so there are no hang-ups later. There may be something already in the code that has been relied on in the past to exempt school sites from the 530-foot spacing requirement and I'm just not aware of it.

ATTACHMENT 4-A Susan Shanks From: Jamie Morgan-Stasny <jamiem@metlandgroup.com> Sent: Tuesday,January 13, 2015 4:24 PM To: Susan Shanks Cc: 'Matt Sprague' Subject: River Terrace Plan District Comments - MLG Attachments: 201501131444.pdf Hi Susan, Attached are our comments on the River Terrace Plan Code language. A number of our concerns were addressed by Fred's group, but we did have a number of other ideas that should be considered, namely— • Not requiring compliance with the following sections when applying for a Planned Development (as described on page 18.660-7 attached) o 18.350.060.C.1 (80% rule) o 18.350.060.C.3 (extreme rule) o Table 18.510.2 • Removal of the rough proportionality requirement within section 18.660.060, C on page 18.660-8 o We feel that the guidelines set forth in 18.660.060 C 1, 2 &3 will provide enough discretion to the Planning Commission and negate the need for a rough proportionality demonstration. Please feel free to call if you would like to discuss our comments further. Matt Sprague from SFA is our planner who is currently in process on two Planned Developments within the City of Tigard. He had some great insight and comments. Please also do not hesitate to call him directly if you have questions or would like more information. His direct number is (503) 332.8385.

This letter's • enclosures contain comments from West Hills and its representatives on the draft River Terrace Land Use Regulations (TCDC Chapter 18.660) amendments scheduled to be heard by the Tigard Planning Commission (the "Planning Commission") on February 2, 2015. This letter contains two (2) enclosures: Exhibit 1: Comments from Michael C. Robinson. Exhibit 2: Comments from West Hills and Otak. My comments address four (4)main areas: 1. The Tigard Comprehensive Plan should not be an approval criterion by way of conditions of approval for land division applications. ORS 179.195(1). 2. Subjective approval standards should not apply to "needed housing" applications. ORS 197.303(1); 197.307(4). 3. The proposed land use regulations should clarify in what process and under what standards the Planning Director and the City Engineer exercise their discretion. 4. TCDC 18.660.035.A.4 should be eliminated. TCDC 18.660.035.A.3 requires that the preliminary plat show future phase information, including preliminary rights-of-way. Because an applicant cannot dedicate rights-of-way beyond a current phase, TCDC 18.660.035.A.4 is not possible to accomplish. Please place this letter and its enclosures before the Planning Commission prior to the public hearing and in the official Planning Department file for this legislative amendment.

The purpose of the River Terrace Plan District is to implement the adopted River Terrace Community Plan and associated infrastructure master plans for water,sewer, stormwater, parks,and transportation. This chapter is—intendr d—tOnsure that public facilities are adequate to serve the anticipated levels of development throughout River Terrace by: • Implementing the River Terrace Community Plan and associated infrastructure master plans • Facilitating the transition of River Terrace from rural to urban land use through the timely, orderly,and efficient provision of public facilities • Ensuring that public facilities are adequate to support new development and are available concurrent with the impacts of such development • Safeguarding the community's health,safety,and welfare L paeur a--cc s This chapter is also intended to implement those unique aspects of the River Terrace Community Plan and associated infrastructure master plans related to commercial and residential design, transportation facilities,and park and trail development. • The commercial area is envisioned as a vibrant mixed-use center with pedestrian-scale street and building amenities and high-quality design features. • The transportation system is designed as a network of multi-modal streets that connects residents to trails, schools, parks, and services. One that conforms to the rolling topography, builds upon and connects to existing streets in the area, and effectively balances safety,comfort, and mobility through thoughtful and location-specific street and intersection design. • River Terrace Boulevard is designed to seamlessly integrate the River Terrace Trail into its design, provide safe and comfortable multi-modal travel options, and include high-quality pedestrian-scale design treatments that defines it as the neighborhood's signature street. • Parks and trails are distributed throughout the area to provide a variety of convenient recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. • h SrA7 din 15 NOT AN Fcpr7 L CV River Terrace Plan District 18.660-1 Revised Draft: 12/18/14 18.660.020 Where These Regulations Apply The regulations of this chapter apply to the River Terrace Plan District.

The purpose of the River Terrace Plan District is to implement the adopted River Terrace Community Plan and associated infrastructure master plans for water,sewer,stormwater,parks,and transportation. This chapter is intended to ensure that public facilities are adequate to serve the anticipated levels of development throughout River Terrace by: Implementing the River Terrace Community Plan and associated infrastructure master plans Facilitating the transition of River Terrace from rural to urban land use through the timely, orderly,and efficient provision of public facilities Ensuring that public facilities are adequate to support new development and are available concurrent with the impacts of such development Safeguarding the community's health,safety,and welfare This chapter is also intended to implement those unique aspects of the River Terrace Community Plan and associated infrastructure master plans related to commercial and residential design, transportation facilities,and park and trail development. The commercial area is envisioned as a vibrant mixed-use center with pedestrian-scale street and building amenities and high-quality design features. The transportation system is designed as a network of multi-modal streets that connects residents to trails, schools,parks,and services. One that conforms to the rolling topography,builds upon and connects to existing streets in the area,and effectively balances safety,comfort,and mobility through thoughtful and location-specific street and intersection design. River Terrace Boulevard is designed to seamlessly integrate the River Terrace Trail into its design, provide safe and comfortable multi-modal travel options, and include high-quality pedestrian-scale design treatments that defines it as the neighborhood's signature street. Parks and trails are distributed throughout the area to provide a variety of convenient recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. River Terrace Plan District 18.660-1 Revised Draft:12/18/14 18.660.020 Where These Regulations Apply The regulations of this chapter apply to the River Terrace Plan District.

The applicant demonstrates that the approval standard will likely be met prior to filing an application for final land division plat approval, detailed development plan approval, or expiration of the condition of approval. A determination by the review authority that it is likely that the standard will be met shall be for the purposes of deferral only and in no way constitutes an assurance, guarantee, or other representation that may in any way be relied upon by the applicant or any party;and b. The applicant executes a written agreement prepared by the city acknowledging that the applicant has determined that deferral is to its benefit and that any and all actions taken pursuant to or in furtherance of the approval are at the applicant's sole and exclusive risk. The acknowledgement shall waive,hold harmless and release the city,its officers,employees and agents for any and all claims for damages, including attorney fees, in any way arising from a denial for failure to demonstrate compliance with the standards in subsection B, without regard to fault.

If compliance with storm water management standards is dependent on a publicly funded conveyance system or regional facility that has not been provided, the applicant may propose interim facilities and systems, such as on-site detention. The detention shall meet all applicable standards. Unless otherwise provided in the development approval,the applicant shall provide an assurance that adequate financial resources are available to decommission the interim facility and connect to the public storm water management system when it becomes available. No storm water management system shall be approved if it would prevent or significantly impact the ability of other properties to implement and comply with the River Terrace Stormwater Master Plan or other applicable standards. 3. Development shall be located and designed so as to not unduly or unnecessarily restrict the ability of any other property to provide or access a public easement or facility required for the property to develop in accordance with this Code, taking into account the topography, size and, shape of the property that is the subject of the application, impact on the applicant, and the reasonableness of available options. An applicant shall not be required to reduce otherwise permitted density or to obtain a variance to demonstrate compliance but this standard may be considered in considering a variance requested by the applicant.

I D. Shared open space facilities. As an alternative to providing the 20% open space required by Subsection 18.350.070.D.13,the city may accept a lesser amount of open space where the applicant can meet the requirements of 1, 2, and 3 below and where the applicant provides an analysis that demonstrates that the proposed open space and enhancements are roughly proportional to the 20%of open space that would otherwise be required. The applicant may use multiple quantitative metrics to demonstrate how their alternative proposal for shared open space facilities is roughly proportional, e.g.cost,square footage,accessibility,etc. 1. The city may accept a lesser amount of open space where the proposed open space: a. Meets the need for neighborhood or linear public parks,open space,and/or trails identified in the River Terrace Park System Master Plan Addendum with respect to both location and the city's level of service standard;and b. Will be dedicated to the public or owned and maintained by a homeowners association. 2. The city may accept a lesser amount of open space in exchange for additional development enhancements where such enhancements provide a community benefit and where the development provides at least three(3)of the following: a. Provide a comprehensive network of public pedestrian connections that complements the public sidewalk system and that facilitates access to parks, schools, trails, open spaces, commercial areas,and similar destinations. b. Provide public nature trails along or through natural resource areas or open spaces.All trails through protected natural resource areas must obtain all necessary approvals and meet all applicable development standards. c. Provide or show that the proposed development has direct access to and is within a'/4-mile of a public park or recreation area via a public or private trail,path,or walkway.

This memo includes a short explanation of each aspect of the proposal: Zoning Districts Map River Terrace Plan District Chapter Please don't hesitate to contact staff if you have questions about anything in this memo or in your packet. Zoning District Map In December 2014, Tigard City Council adopted a land use map for River Terrace laying out where certain kinds of land uses—such as residential or commercial uses—are allowed. Zoning district designations build upon and implement these land use designations and determine where specific development regulations apply. Such regulations include: the specific kinds of uses that are allowed on each lot, the densities at which residential uses can be built (from low-density housing such as single family homes to high-density housing such as apartment buildings), the heights of buildings, the locations of buildings on a lot (i.e. setbacks), and how much open space, lot coverage, and/or parking is required. The proposed zoning districts in River Terrace include low density residential (70 acres), medium density residential (35 acres), medium-high density residential (39 acres), and Community Commercial (18 acres). The specific standards for each zone can be found in the city's Community Development Code (Title 18). The proposed location and size of each zone was determined through a community planning process that culminated in the Stakeholder Working Group's unanimous approval of the proposed Zoning Districts Map. River Terrace Plan District Chapter In situations like River Terrace, additional and/or different development regulations are needed to ensure that development meets community expectations. Like other areas in Tigard, such as Downtown or Washington Square where additional and/or different standards have been adopted, a new plan district chapter addressing River Terrace development is proposed for adoption into the Community Development Code. The purpose of the River Terrace Plan District is to address the development conditions unique to River Terrace. This includes: Ensuring public facilities like water and sewer are available to serve new development, Ensuring development does not impede the future use or development of adjacent properties, Implementing the design concept for River Terrace Boulevard, soon to be Tigard's most innovative street/trail design, and Tying open space requirements to the adopted parks plan for River Terrace. See Attachment 1 for a summary of the proposed plan district chapter.

PUBLIC HEARING RIVER TERRACE PLAN DISTRICT & ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS Development Code Amendment (DCA)2014-00001;Zone Map Amendment (ZON) 2014-00002 PROPOSAL: Community Development Code (CDC) Text Amendments and Zoning Map Amendments necessary to implement the River Terrace Community Plan,recently adopted by Tigard City Council on December 16,2014. Proposed changes include the adoption of a new CDC Chapter (18.660) to create the River Terrace Plan District and the assignment of zoning districts on the city's Zoning Map to TPC Minutes 02/02/15 Page 1 of 5 approximately 490 acres of land within the River Terrace Community Plan area.APPLICANT: City of Tigard. ZONES: Citywide LOCATION: River Terrace Plan Area APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Subsection 18.390.060.G; Comprehensive Plan Goals 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13; River Terrace Community Plan;Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 1 and 11;Metro's Regional Transportation Function Plan Title 1; and Statewide Planning Goals 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. STAFF REPORT Associate Planner John Floyd gave a quick introduction of the staff report before turning it over to the applicant, City of Tigard's Senior Planner, Susan Shanks. He noted that the report summarizes the approval criteria necessary for the Planning Commission to find in favor of the proposed text map amendments. He said the proposed text map amendments are in compliance with the Tigard Development Code; the River Terrace Community Plan; the Tigard Comprehensive Plan; and the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan and Metro Regional Transportation Functional Plan. APPLICANT City of Tigard Senior Planner, Susan Shanks, briefly outlined what had taken place up to this point regarding the River Terrace Plan. She went over a PowerPoint presentation (Exhibit A). She showed the commission an adoption timeline that would take place should this be recommended for approval by the Commission and approved by the City Council [scheduled to look at this on February 24 of this year]. If approved, planned development in River Terrace may begin as early as April or May, 2015. She noted that the lower density R-5 & R-7 abuts the existing residential development on Bull Mountain, purposefully, in order to provide a transition zone for the higher density zones R-12 & R-25 - which mostly are adjacent to Roy Rogers Road, as well as to the commercial node. The commercial area was slightly changed in the zoning process when this was being mapped out; it used to have a slightly different configuration. Through a public review process, it was stretched to provide some frontage on Roy Rogers Road —primarily for the visibility along Roy Rogers Road. Susan talked about the 18.660.030 provision of adequate public facilities portion of the Code Amendment Summary. She explained that it is important and unique to River Terrace because it's a Greenfield area and there's a lot of infrastructure needed in this area. By combining the Code Amendment project with the zoning which allows development to occur— development wouldn't get ahead of the infrastructure— or the funding of the infrastructure that needs to happen out there. This chapter allows development to move forward with their land use application but it also ensures that public facilities are built per the master plans that have been developed and adopted. It also ensures that it is adequately funded per the River Terrace Funding Strategy; two key things that need to happen - and they need to happen prior to final land use approvals. Susan went on to provide some details noted in the PowerPoint on some of the other code amendments: River Terrace Blvd development standards; planned developments; street design; and on-street parking. With regard to comments and staff's response to those comments - staff sent every property owner and resident (as well as additional agencies) public notices and information about the proposal for this hearing. They heard back from the Metropolitan Land Group, West Hills, Polygon, and the Tigard Tualatin School District. Susan noted this was no surprise as these are all the folks who will eventually be developing in River Terrace - so they have a vested interest in TPC Minutes 02/02/15 Page 2 of 5 doing an intensive review of the code amendments that are being proposed. She said it was a very useful and helpful process to go through with them. In fact, about half of the very large packet the commissioners had received earlier in the week was made up of those comments. This is because they used the base draft as a "track change" document to insert comments, clarifications, deletions, additions, etc. Staff found this to be very helpful. Susan said she wouldn't summarize all their comments at this time - as there are up to 80 pages of them; a summary memo had been provided in their packets, however. Staff ended up taking 85 to 90 percent of their suggestions. Whether it was with regard to clarification, additions, deletions — staff felt they mostly all had merit, and the draft was revised to represent those comments. The Tigard Tualatin School District provided an additional set of comments relating to conditional uses after the original comments had been received and the packet sent out. The School District has a property in the southern part of River Terrace that they're planning to develop as homes start going in. They're looking at Conditional Use because that property will be zoned residential - so they're looking through that lens. Current conditional uses require them to provide certain kinds of design standards on their buildings that they felt were more appropriate for a dwelling—not a school. They're also concerned about the "no access" rule off of River Terrace Blvd because they have a good long frontage along the boulevard. Staff believes those comments have a lot of merit. Susan has been working on drafting some new language to address them. So —in terms of a staff recommendation— staff and the project team recommends that the Planning Commission recommend adoption to City Council of the River Terrace Plan District and the Zoning Districts Map —but they also ask that they provide staff with direction to modify Section 18.660.060 that pertains to the River Terrace Blvd Development Standards; to that section that regulates development adjacent to the boulevard. That language needs to be refined to better address conditional uses that might be on the boulevard—language that would allow the school, for example, to have an access; not a public street— although that would be expected in a residential subdivision—but the school needs some kind of access. Even the current code outside of River Terrace would allow a non-residential use of that type to have an access on a collector - so staff wants to be consistent with that. QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS - None TESTIMONY IN FAVOR— Jim Lange of Pacific Community Design at 12564 SW Main Street stated he was here on behalf of Polygon NW. He thanked staff on the very productive exchange they had on this code. He said he appreciated that the discussion started with "What is the vision we're trying to get?" and then focused on the words that got them there. He noted there are two issues they would like clarification on. He passed out and went over a memorandum dated 2/2/15 (Exhibit B) which requested some edits to the proposed Chapter 18.660 — River Terrace Plan District. Don Hanson, a Planner with OTAK was there on behalf of West Hills, which owns quite a bit of property on the north end of the new district on both sides of Roy Rogers, along Scholls Ferry Road. He noted this would probably be among the first portions of the district to develop. He likes the fact that the amended code language is not generic or boilerplate. It's very specific and focuses on timeless qualities that staff wants to see in the district when it's built. He said West Hills endorses that approach and thinks it bodes well for the district. TPC Minutes 02/02/15 Page 3 of 5 QUESTIONS OF MR. HANSON "Do you have problems with what Mr. Lange mentioned about model homes and skinny streets?" No —we have no resistance to Mr. Lange's comments on model homes, or his ideas for skinny streets; they're very pragmatic and make sense. TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION —None. PUBLIC HEARING — CLOSED No further testimony or questions from the audience are allowed. DELIBERATION ON THE ZONING DISTRICTS MAP AMENDMENT The commissioners decided to look at the Zoning Districts Map amendment first. Commissioner Feeney liked the fact that it goes from similar zoning to abutting existing zones —and then the higher densities come towards the higher street classifications - which seems consistent with the rest of development around it. Commissioner Middaugh had looked at the area himself and said that he doesn't see anything with the zoning that he wants to comment on but wanted to say that that he likes the plan. Commissioners Enloe, Lieuallen, Schmidt& Muldoon had no objections to the amendment. After a short deliberation they were ready to make a motion. FIRST MOTION Commissioner Muldoon made the following motion - seconded by Commissioner Feeney: "I move that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to City Council of Zone Map Amendment ZON2014-00002 and adoption of the findings contained in the staff report and based on the testimony heard tonight." A vote was taken: all in favor - none opposed. FIRST MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY DELIBERATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT Vice President Fitzgerald asked for any comments from the commissioners about what has been discussed or brought forward. Code including new CDC Chapter 18.660 Amending 18.660.060 to allow limited access by the school Ask staff to review the proposed language by Mr. Lange and make recommendation to council that would be pragmatic in that regard. Ask staff to review Mr. Lange's two concerns and recommend approval language to the council. TPC Minutes 02/02/15 Page 4 of 5 Susan Shanks came up and asked a clarifying question in terms of staff direction. She wondered whether the commissioners wanted her to look into the private street option. The consensus was "no." So Commissioner Muldoon clarified that they're talking about the language in Mr. Lange's memo without changing the word "shall" to "may." SECOND MOTION Commissioner Muldoon made the following motion - seconded by Commissioner Schmidt: "I move the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council of Development Code Amendment DCA2014-00001 including the adoption of new CDC Chapter 18.660 and adoption of the findings contained in the staff report and amending 18.660.060 regarding design and access to River Terrace Blvd through the conditional use process. We also ask staff to address Mr. Lange's two concerns - excluding the proposed replacement of the language "may," and make recommendation to Council based on their findings." A vote was taken, all in favor, none opposed. SECOND MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY OTHER BUSINESS —Assistant Community Development Director, Tom McGuire, gave a brief summary of items that will be coming up in near future agendas for the Planning Commission.
