WHEREAS, the Agency forwarded the Plan Amendment and Report to the City's Planning Commission (the

Page 1
SECTION 1: The Plan Amendment complies with all requirements of ORS Chapter 457 and the specific
criteria of 457.095(1) through (7),in that,based on the information provided in the Report,
the Planning Commission Recommendation, and the public testimony before the City
Council:
1. The process for the adoption of the Plan Amendment, has been conducted in
accordance with the provisions of Chapter 457 of the Oregon Revised Statutes;
2. The area designated in the Plan Amendment as the Tigard City Center Urban Renewal
Area is blighted,as defined by ORS 457.010(1) and is eligible for inclusion within the Plan
Amendment because of conditions described in the Report in the Section "Existing
Physical, Social, and Economic Conditions and Impacts on Municipal Services",including
the existence of inadequate streets, trails, sidewalks,parks, and utilities,and a prevalence of
depreciated values resulting from underdevelopment and underutilization of property
within the Area (ORS 457.010(1)(e)and (g);
3. The rehabilitation and redevelopment described in the Plan Amendment to be
undertaken by the Agency is necessary to protect the public health, safety or welfare of the
City because absent the completion of urban renewal projects, the Area will fail to
contribute its fair share of property tax revenues to support City services and will fail to
develop and/or redevelop according the goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan;
4. The Plan Amendment conforms to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan and documented
ancillary documents and provides an outline for accomplishing the projects described in the
Plan Amendment, as more fully described in the Plan Amendment and in the Planning
Commission recommendation;
5. No residential displacement vill occur as a result of the acquisition and disposition of
land and redevelopment activities proposed in the Plan Amendment and therefore the Plan
Amendment does not include provisions to house displaced persons;
6. The acquisition of real property provided in the Plan,including real property in the area
that is the subject of this Plan Amendment, is necessary for the development of
transportation-related infrastructure improvements in the Area and for the development of
public spaces because the Agency does not own all the real property interests (e.g., rights-
of-way, easements, fee ownership, etc.) that will be required to undertake and complete
these projects as described in Chapter IV of the Plan Amendment and Section V of the
Report;and
7. Adoption and carrying out the Plan Amendment is economically sound and feasible in
that eligible projects and activities will be funded by urban renewal tax revenues derived
from a division of taxes pursuant to section lc,Article IX of the Oregon Constitution and
ORS 457.440 and other available funding as more fully described in the Sections V,VI,VII,
and VIII of the Report;
8. The City shall assume and complete any activities prescribed it by the Plan Amendment;
and
9. The Agency consulted and conferred with affected overlapping taxing districts prior to
the Plan Amendment being forwarded to the City Council.
