-Supplemental Findings.
Date: February 7, 2017
Supplemental Findings:
18.620 Tigard Triangle Plan District
18.620 Street Connectivity, Design Option
18.620.020.A.1 Local street spacing shall provide public street connection at intervals of no more
than 660 feet.
Given the street layout in the Tigard Triangle, the local street spacing standard would require a
new public street extension of SW Elmhurst Street west of SW 7211d in the vicinity of the subject
site. Even though the subject site does not include the 72nd Street frontage where SW Elmhurst
would be extended, it would be possible, given the topography of the area west of 72nd, that an
extension alignment could affect the subject property downslope. However,in this case,extension
of SW Elmhurst is exempt from the local street spacing standard because of the existing Walmart
development to the west (18.810.030.H.1). Walmart is a recent development that is served by
private access aisles within its parking lot without the opportunity for a public street to connect
to and which is unlikely to redevelop anytime soon.
Notwithstanding the exemption,the applicant has explored the extension of a public street, at the
request of City staff, to identify a feasible extension that might serve the City's plans for increased
connectivity in the future associated with the provisional Tigard Triangle Strategic Plan (2015).
The applicant's Concept Future Street Plan (Sheet C400) and the Concept Future Street Profile
(Sheet C401) demonstrate that the proposed alignment is feasible and is not precluded by the
proposed Triangle Medical Office development (18.810.030.H.2), i.e., the land is not
topographically constrained because the maximum slope is less than 15 percent (14.56 percent)
for a distance of less than 250 feet (196 feet).
