Planning Commission Minutes - 06/22/1992 TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING - JUNE 22, 1992
6:30 - WORKSHOP
TIGARD TRIANGLE REVIEW
o Commissioners discussed the comments received during the Tigard Triangle
Open House held on June 11 , 1992. There was concern that possibly the
people who were against change were the most vocal , and the "silent
majority" may have stayed home. It was also suggested that the people
who were most vocal may have intimidated those who would otherwise have
expressed support for the proposed plan to improve the triangle area.
Commissioner Schwab suggested modifying the designated plan to have more
Commercial area and less Residential .
Commissioner Fyre noted that the concern most people have in the area is
economic.
There was agreement that most of the people who spoke out against the
proposed plan were interested in the short-term future of the area.
o Al Benkendorf complimented the Commission on their handling of the open
house. He explained there was an incorrect assumption by some of the
property owners concerning input from the public at the beginning of the
planning process. He stated that there were several meetings with NPO
during which 4 to 8 people attended and gave input. He further advised
that the developers who spoke at the open house compromised the project.
o Associate Planner John Acker advised that the LID information provided
to commissioners from a member of the open house audience was not
accurate, as it has not been established yet. He recommended having the
City Council provide direction regarding the zoning and the LID.
o Discussion followed concerning the Dartmouth extension and its impact on
past and future development. Property values were considered, as well
as current market demand for residential , commercial , and office space.
Senior Planner Carol Landsman suggested: 1 ) look at modifying Plan D;
and 2) consider possible overlay districts, expanding mixed use, while
keeping underlying land use.
There was discussion of how to proceed. Consensus was to look further
at Plan D and modify it and look at overlay districts. Commissioners
Moore and Boone favored incorporating the Kittleson plan for improving
traffic flow. Commissioner Barber recommended requesting more
clarification from City Council . Commissioner Schwab pointed out the
importance of finding out what political and legal constraints exist.
It was agreed there would be an August meeting to work on Triangle plan.
