RE: Tigard Triangle Tour
September 19,2011
DATE: September 12,2011
The Tigard Triangle Tour is expected to take about an hour (6:30 -7:30). We will have about 4 or 5
stops within the Triangle. There are other points of interest we will include in discussions, but we
cannot stop at all of them due to safety reasons and time constraints. Dinner will be provided in
Red Rock conference room, and the consultants,David Berniker and Matt Brown,will take this time
to prepare you for the upcoming tour. David and Matt will lead the tour and related discussions
along the way. The group discussions will help them to establish preliminary goals and objectives
for a Tigard Triangle planning strategy.
Today (Monday) I am meeting with one of our consultants to review our tentative tour route. We
will take photos of the key points of interest. These photos will be put into a packet for you that
will include a fact sheet on each point of interest, a tour map, a history of the Tigard Triangle, and
the adopted street plan for the area. This material will be provided for you electronically later in the
week, but a hard copy will also be provided on the day of the tour. I apologize for the delay in the
materials. Most of the materials are visual and will not include much narrative.
Because some of the stops are not developed sites, I suggest wearing comfortable clothing and
sturdier shoes.
See you next Monday night.

Tigard Triangle Visioning Exercise Background
The Planning Commission met on June 6, 2011 for a workshop to discuss High Capacity Transit station
areas in the Tigard Triangle and prepare for a visioning exercise. After examining and evaluating the
three Tigard Triangle typologies, consultants David Berniker and Matt Brown led a brainstorming
sessions with commissioners to seek desired outcomes from the upcoming visioning exercise. In
addition, staff asked the commissioners what they may need in advance of taking part in the visioning
exercise. An inventory of existing conditions, a site visit, and the history of the Tigard Triangle were
some of the information/activities requested. This tour of the Tigard Triangle and the following
information is being provided in response to those requests.
David and Matt will be leading the tour and asking questions along the way to related to transportation,
connectivity, and uses. Some of the questions that may be asked are listed below and are grouped into
five categories (portals or gateways, commercial and employment areas,residential uses,Pacific Highway,
and greenspaces/open space. Other items included in the packet are a brief history of the Tigard
Triangle and information sheets on each of the tour's points of interest. Please feel free to make notes
on the information sheets during the tour.
Portals and Gateways
1. What land uses do you envision around each of the portals?
2. How do these land uses support the sense of coming into a new sub-area?
3. How do the portals connect to the larger Tigard community and surrounding jurisdictions?
Commercial and Employment Areas
1. What modes of travel support the proposed employment/commercial areas?
2. Do you imagine people being able to walk or bike through out the triangle? What would this
look like?
Residential
1. What is the range of residential land uses
2. What amenities support these residential areas? Can one walk to these amenities?
Pacific Highway(auto-oriented commercial)
1. What can be done to draw people off Highway 99 into the Triangle and Downtown?
2. What land uses do you see along Pacific Highway? How do these relate to the Triangle?
Greenways/Open Space
1. What sort of open spaces do you see in the Triangle?
2. How do these open spaces and Red Rock Creek tie-into the Triangle?
History of the Tigard Triangle
1992—Tigard Triangle Master Plan was completed. It provided a land analysis assessment
of development trends and development potential of the area.
November 1992 — Planning Commission approved and the City Council accepted a master
plan map (Resolution 92-54), which showed generalized areas of land use categories. This
was a three page document. I've attached the Development Standards that seem to be a
basis for the current design standards.
Early 1993—The city was awarded a grant to conduct a more detailed planning study of the
area(land use,transportation,urban design,and open space issues).
January 1994—Tigard Triangle Specific Area Plan came from the detailed planning study.
Judy 1994 — Planning Commission votes unanimously to recommend denial of the plan
(CPA94-0002 and ZON 94-0002).
January 1995 — City Council withdraws consideration of the plan and directed staff to
propose design standards for the Triangle. Staff hired a consultant and put together a task
force that included ODOT, Metro, residents, business owners, and developers. Staff
reviewed the Triangle Specific plan recommendations and the Transportation Planning Rule
(TPR) requirements to get information useful in the development of the standards.
December 1996— City Council approved zoning and comprehensive plan amendments to re-
zone all residential and commercial professional areas of the Triangle to Mixed Use
Employment (MUE). The reasoning for the rezone was to create a mixed use employment
district that is complementary to the rest of the community and the region. The Tigard
Triangle Task Force agreed that the Triangle was not a residential neighborhood but a place
of employment and shopping. The MUE zone has limitations on retail uses to encourage
larger retail uses in the C-G portion of the Triangle. There was also a request to adopt
design standards that was tabled until March 1997.
March 1997— City Council adopted design standards for the Tigard Triangle. I've attached
those standards and provided a link to the current Tigard Triangle section.
December 1997—City Council adopts development code language adding a Design Evaluation
Team (DET) to provide review for adjustments to the Tigard Triangle design standards.
