ADJOURNMENT: STAFF REPORT AGENDA 5 . 1 Site Development and Architectural Design Review Board November 30, 1976 - 5 :00 P.M. 12460 S .W. Main St . - Tigard, Oregon DOCKET: SDR 38-76 REQUEST: Review of a proposed four story, 120 unit Motel LOCATION: On S .W. Pacific Hwy, North of S .W. 69th. APPLICANT: Way W. Lee/ Ken Cole I . Basic Facts : 1) The site is designated "General Commercial" on the Tigard Community Plan and zoned 11C-3, General Commercial . " 2) A Conditional Use Permit (CU 30-76) was approved by the Planning Commission on November 16, 1976 to allow an additional story with the following conditions : 1 . The access onto S .W. Pacific Highway be combined with the existing Mobil access point and be designed for right turn only into and out of the site with approval of the State Highway Division. 2 . Primary access to the motel be provided on S .W. 69th Avenue with the parking lot driveway connecting to it 114W on the south . 3. S .W. 69th Avenue be developed on a 60 ' right-of-way to City commercial street standards . The location for continuance through to the triangle to be approved by the Director of Public Works. 4 . A traffic light to State Highway Division standards be placed at the intersection of S .W. 69th Avenue and SW Pacific Highway if the highway division warrant study determines that it is necessary. 5 . This approval is for one building with a maximum of 40 ' in height or four (4) stories . 6 . The secondary access point (between Mobil and Wayside Inn) will not be designated by a sign encouraging its use as an entrance point . II FINDINGS : 1 ) The site slopes substantially away from S .W. Pacific Highway with a change of 76 ' from the road to S .W . 69th Avenue . Extensive grading and filling has occurred in the last two weeks in accordance with a grading permit issued November 1 , 1976 . (#1151) The extensive grading has caused all natural a4W vegetation but a few trees to be removed. The building orientation is contrary to the actions of the Planning Commission and functionally deficient . r r STAFF REPORT Agenda 5 . 1 Tigard Design Review ' November 30 , 1976 Page 2 2) All actions by the Planning Commission in reviewing the sub- division of this property, the Conditional Use Permit approved on November 16, 1976 and 14-73 (expired) have been towards orienting access through a controlled intersection and a local commercial street rather than along S .W. Pacific Highway . The site plan and building plans envision a drive-through canopy for registration on the S .W. Pacific Highway side of the building over, but no turn around is provided to get to the main parking lot on the south side of the building. The proposed configuration encourages the use of the secondary access point contrary to its intent and the required design standards have not been incorporated into this site plan. By rotating the building 1800 a site plan more in keeping with the intent of all previous City actions is attainable . Also involved is the shifting of the building 20-25 feet west . This shift would create a driveway along the eastern edge . This driveway would provide for better traffic circulation whether or not the building is rotated. This would eliminate some parking and would necessitate relocating the swimming pool . 3) Section 18 .58. 080 (1 ) of the Tigard Municipal Code requires landscape islands 70 ' on center in parking lots . The site plan is deficient in approximately 20 instances . 4) Section 18 .60. 120 of the Tigard Municipal Code requires one parking space/guest room plus one for the owner . The site plan as shown offers 128 . This is prior to any relocation of the building whereas 121 are required. 5) The requirement of the Planning Commission for extension of S .W. 69th Avenue and connection to it of the parking lot is not shown on the site plan . 6) Section 18 . 58.080 (2) of the Tigard Municipal Code requires all areas not used for building, parking, driveways and walk- ways be landscaped and maintained. The landscape plan does not show any landscaping for the most visible area : That area between the building and S.W. Pacific Highway . 7) No screening is provided to block out the Portland General Electric substation to the east . 8) With the height and bulk and visual impact of this building, the landscaping plan proposes a sparse planting pattern of small scale materials . For example, the planting bed along the north side of the building is to be 9 ' wide with predomin- antly small shrubery. This is totally out of scale with the building height (401 ) . STAFF REPORT Agenda 5 . 1 Page 3 III STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that this site plan be denied and any resubmission include the following changes : 1 . Orient the building away from Pacific Highway by rotating. 2 . Incorporate the Planning Commission conditions into the site plan or provide the Design Review Board with the method for achieving compliance . 3. Provide a turning radius adequate for vehicles in the canopy area to return to the central parking lot . 4 . Develop a signing program which assures that primary access is gained via S .W. 69th Avenue not S .W. Pacific Highway. 5. Develop a landscaping plan which softens the impact of the additional building height , screens the Portland General Electric substation , includes all of the site and includes an automatic irrigation system to provide for adequate maintenance . Agenda 5 .2 Staff Report Tigard Site Development and Architectural Design Review Board November 30, 1976 - 5 :00 P.M. General Telephone Building 12460 SW Main Street - Tigard, Oregon DOCKET: SDR - 42-76 REQUEST: REVIEW OF A PROPOSED LOADING DOCK ONTO AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING LOCATION: 8015 S .W. HUNZIKER, WEST OF RAILROAD CROSSING APPLICANT: SAFEGUARD - PARTEX, INC. I BASIC FACTS : 1) The site is designated "General Industrial" on the Tigard Community Plan and zoned "M-3, Light Industrial" . II FINDINGS : 1) The portion of the site under consideration is flat , slightly below grade with Hunziker Street . 2) The area under consideration is currently being used for truck loading out of the building. The request is to place a loading dock and ramp to facilitate cargo loading. 3) There has been extensive work within right-of-way during the improvement of Hunziker during 1975 . This involved covering the open drainage ditch and expanding the right-of-way to 60 ' . 4) The proposed dock is to be 50 ' from the right-of-way and does not intrude into the 30 ' front yard setback required in the M-3 zone . 5) The proposed screen fencing is to be 6 ' cyclone with yellow slats, (pictures will be available at the meeting) low shrubery with a creeping evergreen would soften the visual impact of the fence . III STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval as submitted with the addition of land- scaping adequate to minimize the visual impact of the screen fencing.
