Gray - Tigard Professional Medical Center) Agenda Item 5.1 SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW of a proposed medical clinic and pharmacy at Pacific Hwy. and Garrett STAFF FINDINGS 1. The proposed clinic is to be located on a part of an approximately 1.8 acre site in two parcels and will be the first phase of a two phase project. The second phase is projected to be a companionate dental clinic. 2. The Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for the first phase (this project) at their January 20 meeting. That permit is subject to the following conditions: a. That 5 ' of additional right-of-way be dedicated along SW Garrett St. b. That a 1/2 street improvement be made to SW Garrett based on the City's local street standards. c. That diagonal off-street parking be provided adjacent SW Garrett St. d. That a 10' utilities easement be provided along all property lines. e. That the pedestrian/bicycle pathway, as shown on the site plan, be subject to Design Review Board consideration. 3. The site is presently vacant, with a ravine to the rear that will be tiled and filled. 4. To the south of the site are apartment buildings and the barber shop and Setniker 's are to the west. Across Garrett St. (east) is a vacant lot and across Pacific Highway (north) is School District parking and Jack Robertson' s still vacant lot. 5. To staff's knowledge, no sizing study has been done for the storm drain traversing the rear of the site; however, the Public Works Department has indicated that it.'s satis- fied with the size -- they have also indicated that they would recommend the City not accept maintenance respon- sibility for the line or an easement for access to it. i page 2 DRB Staff Report SDR 1-76 6. Access and parking appear adequate as shown; however, the parking stalls adjacent Garrett St. need to be moved back. This will not affect the aisle width as the usual design standards for the parking configuration shown in- dicate 13 to 15 foot wide aisle as a minimun standard. Due to the character of using traffic in a clinic, staff sees 16 to 18 feet as more appropriate for 45 degree diagonal parking here. It could be pointed out that diagonal parking would be desirable throughout the site to conserve paved areas and to help direct traffic flow as well. There are back-out clearance problems in the other parking areas as well, although they are not so severe. For instance, the front overhang of an automobile will nearly obliterate the walkway on the southerly side of the building and there isn't sufficient back-out between the parking channel and the building at the westerly corner. Staff feels also that the "front" entrance (to the pharmacy) needs walkway rather than the extra wide driveway. 7. City staff has investigated grades on Garrett St. and feels there to be no particular infeasibility in pursuing a half street improvement as the applicant's property line is located at a tangent section beyond the vertical curve at the bottom of Garrett Street's hill, allowing the con- tractor to establish an arbitrary grade at the new curbline. 8. The pedestrian/bicycle path shown to the rear of the site conforms to the NPO ##1 Plan; however, staff feels that it should eventually extend along the line of the existing ravine to the southwesterly corner of the site so that it can be further extended southerly as new development occurs. 9. The landscape plan submitted appears to be greatly improved over the first one submitted. 10. The set of drawings marked "supplementary" are to illustrate the site orientation of this proposed project in relation to the not yet formally proposed Phase II. 11. Minimum width :for a fully separated Bikeway is 81 . Recently we have been building them without gravel base on lime treated soil. Applicant's letter attached requests deferring bikeway to the Phase II portion. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval, subject to the following conditions: 1. A diagonal parking pattern be developed for the entire site. page 3 2. That a walkway be provided adjacent "front" driveway for pedestrian access to pharmacy. 3. That applicant will provide a bikeway, minimum width 81 , across rear of lots, built to City specifications, but not necessarily to be constructed until Phase II is built. 4. That all landscape setbacks be observed, understanding that automobile front overhangs may encroach. 5. Wheel blocks be provided, or the curb be designed to eliminate encroachment of automobile overhang on the walkways. (.An alternative could be to widen the walkways) . Mark "in" and "out" entrances and interior direction of traffic flow. fg,. �- 1. .V i �• A •1 `� 1 ti ! }` IN zz + / cr, v N;IIrnSTf UCTi= January 22, 1976 Design—Review Board City of Tigard 12420 S. W. Dain Street Tigard, Oregon 97223 Gentlemen: Re: Medical Clinic Project — S. W. Garrett Street and Pacific Highway After more careful study of the parking and bike path, it is our opinion that bike riders will take the path of least resistance and will flow through the parking area to Frontage Road and/or path extension. We feel, therefore, provision should be made to attach bicycle path to this improvement at completion of second site. Very t ur , R. ra RAG/ms R O. BOX 23818 PORTLAND, OREGON 97223 PHONE 639-6127
