The minutes of the November 20, 1984, meeting were reviewed and approved as written. Bruce Clark briefed the Committee on the Transportation Forum held by TUEDC on December 6, which he and Chairman Padgett attended. Bill Monahan then discussed the status of the Western International. project as it has received final approval from the City following a revision of the comprehensive plan policy which relates to the Rolling Hills Subdivision. The majority of the meeting was devoted to a discussion with representatives of the real estate industry. Mark Padgett gave an overview of the Committee's purposes, goals, and programs. He explained that one committee goal is to represent the business community before the Planning Commission and City Council to endorse applications which comply with the Committee' s programs. The purpose is to balance the input of residential neighborhoods. The Committee also hopes to develop land resource inventories, establish resource leads, and concentrate on four special areas. Mark asked the realtors present what the Committee can do to help them particularly in terms of providing information. He also suggested that a group of realtors may want to meet to propose a comprehensive redesignation of lands which were, in their opinion, incorrectly designated during the plan process. Jack Gallagher of Norris, Beggs and Simpson noted that his prime area of concern is shopping centers. He would like to have access to a list of vacant commercial sites as well as a list of large vacant buildings. In terms of demographics, the information suggested was population, average income, breakdown of population by age. Much of this information is contained in the City' s fact sheet prepared in 1984. Pam Ragsdale pointed out that TUEDC has much of the information most often requested . Mark reported that the Committee attempts to get the word out that the City is open for business. Attempts are made to combat the negative press coverage which occurs when a planning application is denied. A need exists for better coverage of the successes. A general discussion was held concerning the City tax base and the effect that strong commercial development can have. Mark suggested that a half day seminar could be set up where realtors would be invited to attend and learn about the City' s economic development activities, gain familiarly on the City' s comprehensive plan and community development code, discuss areas of sensitivity in Tigard which they as realtors should be aware of such as special neighborhood concerns, and possibly suggest specific parcels of land which should be considered For redesignation on the City' s comprehensive plan and zoning maps. Ed Meaney suggested that one of the major needs of the development community is to have continuity among the municipal staff who deal with development issues. Staff need to promote growth not prevent it. lie pointed out that Tigard's present staff has stability, however, some improvement is needed so that developers are aware early in the development process of the conditions of development which will be placed on their projects. If conditions are not identified up front they can result in significant costs and delays. Ed also pointed out that there will be many situations in the next few years where properties are reused, expanded or remodeled. Bruce Clark stated the Committees feeling that conditions of development should be clear and not subject to change. In the gray areas clarity is important. Mark invited representatives of the development industry to present their specific projects to the Committee for review at future meetings . The endorsement of the Committee could prove to be valuable. Jeanne Caswell presented the concept of the Sister City Agreement now being pursued by Tigard, Tualatin, and Sherwood. The intent is to foster cooperation between the three communities with the ultimate purpose to establish a relationship with a City in China or Japan with possible trade opportunities. Pam Ragsdale reported that TUEDC will be organizing a twenty four page insert for the March, 1985, Oregon Business Magazine concerning the TUEDC communities and region. They will. invite projects and communities to be the first participants in this effort. She will speak with the Tigard Chamber and the City about the description of Tigard which will be included in the insert. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 15, 1985 at 7:30 A.M. at Pioneer Pies. An election of officers will be held to replace Mark Padgett as Chairman as he is not seeking reappointment.
