SECTION II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission finds this request to meet the necessary approval criteria and RECOMMENDS the Tigard City Council amends the Tigard Comprehensive Plan as determined through the public hearing process. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2011-00002 EOA PAGE 1 OF 17 SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project History The City of Tigard is in State Periodic Review. One of the required Periodic Review work tasks is to conduct an economic opportunities analysis. The City received grant funds from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development for technical consultant assistance to complete this task. The Tigard 2011 Economic Opportunities Analysis (Tigard 2011 BOA)was developed in compliance with OAR 660 Division 9 (Statewide Planning Goal 9: Economic Development) and is a technical study that compares projected demand for land for industrial and other employment uses to the existing supply of such land. The purpose of the Tigard 2011 BOA is to improve opportunities for Tigard to attract and maintain the type and quality of employment desired by its citizens,grow its economy, and maintain its quality of life. Goal 9 emphasizes the preservation and protection of vacant land for industrial and employment uses. This will happen by adopting policies that ensure an adequate supply of industrial and other employment lands within the City of Tigard. The Tigard Planning Commission acted as the advisory committee for the project, reviewing each task during the process to complete the Tigard 2011 BOA. The six tasks reviewed by the Planning Commission included: 1. Economic Development Vision and Goals 2. Economic Trends Analysis 3. Site Suitability Analysis (Land Demand) 4. Inventory of Suitable Sites (Land Supply) 5.Assessment of Potential (Reconciliation of Demand and Supply) 6. Implementation Policies and Action Measures The tasks included examining key demographic and employment opportunities and trends to assess Tigard's economic development potential,projecting employment growth, and determining short- and long term demand for employment land. This demand is compared to an inventory of suitable commercial and industrial properties (supply) to assess the sufficiency of immediate and longer- term (20-year) supply of commercial and industrial employment land in the City's Urban Planning Area (UPA). The document meets the state requirements for an economic opportunities analysis and acts as a resource for staff, decision makers, and the public. It identifies the preferred land need scenario that will accommodate the type of economic development activity projected and wanted by the community. One important task in the development of the Tigard 2011 BOA was to consider land use planning efforts already completed and the City's expectations for redevelopment of its centers and corridors. This allowed the process to build upon previously adopted plans to ensure consistency and continuity. The Tigard 2011 BOA serves as a component of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 9. It identifies the amount of needed employment and industrial land for the next 20 years and recommends goals and policies to preserve this land. These goals and policies will help to guide future decisions so it was important to ensure the goals and policies were coordinated with the entire Comp Plan. As part of the process, existing Goal 9 language, which was revised and adopted in March 2008, proved to be very comprehensive and only minor changes were recommended. In general, all goals STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2011-00002 EOA PAGE 2 OF 17 and policies contained within the Tigard Comprehensive Plan are intended to be supportive of one another. Proposal Description The primary intent of the amendment is to ensure the City's Comprehensive Plan remains a viable tool for decision-makers. By adopting the amendment, the City will ensure it is in compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, plans, and programs. As importantly, the update will also ensure that Goal 9 of the Comprehensive Plan reflects current community conditions and values. SECTION IV.

Policy 2: The City's land use regulations, related plans, and implementing actions shall be consistent with and implement its Comprehensive Plan. Findings: The amendment refines the general policy direction related to Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 9: Economic Development for the community.

Findings: The Tigard 2011 EOA identified and acknowledged the City's desire for, and the potential for redevelopment of these areas. Assumptions made about redevelopment and refill potential were based on City policy and Metro guidance to determine the amount of vacant employment and industrial lands needed for the next 20-years. The amendment is consistent with the policy. Policy 20. The City shall periodically review and if necessary update its Comprehensive Plan and regulatory maps and implementing measures to ensure they are current and responsive to community needs, provide reliable information, and conform to applicable state law, administrative rules, and regional requirements. Findings: The amendment is an update to Goal 9 of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan as required by State Periodic Review. The amendment adopts the Tigard 2011 EOA, which used the most reliable, up-to-date information to determine the 20-year vacant employment and industrial land needs. The Tigard 2011 EOA ensures compliance with Oregon Administrative Rule 660-009, which governs economic development planning in the state and requires this analysis. Findings of conformance to applicable state and regional requirements can be found in Section V of this Staff Report. Chapter 5: Natural Resources and Historic Areas Goal 5.1 Protect natural resources and the environmental and ecological functions they provide and, to the extent feasible, restore natural resources to create naturally functioning systems and high levels of biodiversity. Findings: As discussed in the findings made for Statewide Planning Goal 5, the amendment does not alter the City's acknowledged Goal 5 inventories or land use programs. No changes will occur to current Natural Resource protections as the result of adopting the Tigard 2011 EOA. The amendment does not conflict with goals and policies of this chapter of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. Chapter 6: Environmental Quality Goal 6.1 Reduce air pollution and improve air quality in the community and region. Policy 3: The City shall promote land use patterns, which reduce dependency on the automobile, are compatible with existing neighborhoods, and increase opportunities for walking, biking, and /or public transit. STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2011-00002 EOA PAGE 7 OF 17 Findings: The amendment is consistent with this policy as the Tigard 2011 EOA identifies the redevelopment of centers and corridors as an important economic development activity to ensure a 20-year supply of vacant employment and industrial lands. This redevelopment will result in more intense urban land uses that reduce the dependency on the automobile and increase opportunities for walking, biking, and public transit. The Tigard 2011 EOA analysis shows no rezoning of property is needed under the land efficient need scenario, thus avoiding potential conflict with existing neighborhoods. Chapter 7: Hazards Goal 7.2 Protect people and property from flood, landslide, earthquake,wildfire, and severe weather hazards. Findings: The adoption of the Tigard 2011 EOA has no impact on City policies or programs related to hazards. The development of the Tigard 2011 EOA used the City's buildable lands inventory to identify vacant employment and industrial lands. The buildable lands inventory excludes sensitive lands, including the 100-year floodplain. The amendment is consistent with the policy. Chapter 8: Parks, Recreation,Trails, and Open Space Findings: The adoption of the Tigard 2011 EOA has no impact on City policies or programs related to parks, recreation, trails, or open space. However, Goal 9 acknowledges the benefits of these community amenities in attracting economic development. The amendment is consistent with this policy. Chapter 9: Economic Development Goal 9.1 Develop and maintain a strong, diversified, and sustainable local economy. Findings: The City is under State Periodic Review and required to complete an economic opportunities analysis. The development of the Tigard 2011 EOA complies with OAR 660, Division 9. It also used existing Tigard Comprehensive Plan policies, which were revised and adopted on March 6, 2008, as guidance during the process to complete the EOA. The amendment adopts the Tigard 2011 EOA, which compared the 20-year projected demand for employment and industrial land to the existing supply. The EOA found that the land efficient need scenario would provide the necessary 20-year supply of vacant employment and industrial lands. An adequate supply of land will support the development of the local economy. The EOA also recommended the addition of a policy to update the buildable land supply to monitor short and long-term supply as required by Statewide Planning Goal 9. Goal 9.2 Make Tigard a center and incubator for innovative businesses, including those that focus on environmental sustainability. Findings: The amendment adopts the Tigard 2011 EOA, which compared the 20-year projected demand for employment and industrial land to the existing supply. The EOA found that the land efficient need scenario would provide the necessary 20-year supply of vacant employment and STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2011-00002 EOA PAGE 8 OF 17 industrial lands. An adequate supply of land supports this goal. The EOA also recommended the addition of a policy to encourage businesses that are economically and environmentally sustainable,which supports this goal. Goal 9.3 Make Tigard a prosperous and desirable place to live and do business. Findings: The amendment adopts the Tigard 2011 EOA, which compared the 20-year projected demand for employment and industrial land to the existing supply. The EOA found that the land efficient need scenario would provide the necessary 20-year supply of vacant employment and industrial lands. An adequate supply of land supports this goal. The EOA also recommended the addition of a policy to encourage neighborhood commercial uses for economic opportunity, efficient land use patterns, multi-modal transportation and neighborhood vitality,which supports this goal. Chapter 10: Housing Goal 10.1 Provide opportunities for a variety of housing types to meet the diverse housing needs of current and future City residents. Policy 2: The City's land use program shall be consistent with applicable state and federal laws. Findings: The amendment establishes the general policy direction related to Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 9: Economic Development for the community. The development of the Tigard 2011 Economic Opportunities Analysis was completed as a requirement of State Periodic Review and complies with Oregon Administrative Rule 660, Division 9, which governs the development of these studies in the state. Policy 5: The City shall provide for high and medium density housing in the areas such as town centers (Downtown), regional centers (Washington Square), and along transit corridors where employment opportunities, commercial services, transit, and other public services necessary to support higher population densities are either present for planned for in the future. Findings: The amendment is consistent with this policy as the Tigard 2011 EOA identifies the redevelopment of centers and corridors, for housing and employment, as an important economic development activity to ensure a 20-year supply of vacant employment and industrial lands. This redevelopment will result in more intense urban land uses that reduce the dependency on the automobile and increase opportunities for walking, biking, and public transit. The Tigard 2011 EOA analysis shows no rezoning of property is needed to accomplish this policy. Chapter 11: Public Facilities and Services Goal 11.2 Secure a reliable, high quality,water supply to meet the existing and future needs of the community. Findings: The amendment adopts the Tigard 2011 EOA, which compared the 20-year projected demand for employment and industrial land to the existing supply. The EOA found that the land efficient need scenario would provide the necessary 20-year supply of vacant employment and STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2011-00002 EOA PAGE 9 OF 17 industrial lands. The EOA also analyzed the capacity of the water supply and determined it was sufficient to accommodate short-term land needs and 20-year projected employment growth as required by Statewide Planning Goal 9. Goal 11.3 Develop and maintain a wastewater collection system that meets the existing and future needs of the community. Findings: The amendment adopts the Tigard 2011 EOA, which compared the 20-year projected demand for employment and industrial land to the existing supply. The EOA found that the land efficient need scenario would provide the necessary 20-year supply of vacant employment and industrial lands. The EOA also analyzed the capacity of the wastewater system and determined it was sufficient to accommodate short-term land needs and 20-year projected employment growth as required by Statewide Planning Goal 9. Chapter 12: Transportation Goal 12.1 Develop mutually supportive land use and transportation plans to enhance the livability of the community. Goal 12.2 Develop and maintain a transportation system for the efficient movement of people and goods. Goal 12.3 Provide and accessible, multi-modal transportation system that meets the mobility needs of the community. Findings: The amendment is consistent with these goals as the Tigard 2011 EOA identifies the redevelopment of centers and corridors, for housing and employment, as an important economic development activity to ensure a 20-year supply of vacant employment and industrial lands. This redevelopment will result in more intense urban land uses that reduce the dependency on the automobile and increase opportunities for walking,biking, and public transit. Chapter 13: Energy Conservation Goal 13.1 Reduce energy consumption. Policy 1: The City shall promote the reduction of energy consumption associated with vehicle miles traveled through: A. land use patterns that reduce dependency on the automobile; B. public transit that is reliable, connected, and efficient; and C. bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure that is safe and well connected. Findings: The amendment is consistent with this policy as the Tigard 2011 EOA identifies the redevelopment of centers and corridors, for housing and employment, as an important economic development activity to ensure a 20-year supply of vacant employment and industrial lands. This redevelopment will result in more intense urban land uses that reduce the dependency on the automobile and increase opportunities for walking,biking, and public transit. Chapter 14: Urbanization STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2011-00002 EOA PAGE 10 OF 17 Goal 14.1 Provide and/or coordinate the full range of urban level services to lands and citizens within the Tigard City Limits. Policy 6: The City shall, as needed, coordinate and/or participate in planning activities or development decisions within the Tigard Urban Services Area. Findings: The amendment adopts the Tigard 2011 EOA, which compared the 20-year projected demand for employment and industrial land to the existing supply. The EOA found that the land efficient need scenario would provide the necessary 20-year supply of vacant employment and industrial lands within the Tigard Urban Planning Area, which is coincident with the Tigard Urban Services Area. Goal 14.2 Promote Tigard citizens' interests in urban growth boundary expansion and other regional and state growth management decisions. Policy 6: The City shall maintain the low-density residential character of its existing single family residential neighborhoods and accommodate more intense urban land uses in its regional and town centers and within major transportation corridors to be consistent with Statewide Planning Goals and the Metro Framework Plan. Findings: The amendment is consistent with this policy as the Tigard 2011 EOA identifies the redevelopment of centers and corridors, for housing and employment, as an important economic development activity to ensure a 20-year supply of vacant employment and industrial lands without the need for any rezoning at this time. This redevelopment will help maintain the low- density residential character of single family neighborhoods. Special Planning Area: Downtown Goal 15.1 The City will promote the creation of a vibrant and active urban village at the heart of the community that is pedestrian oriented, accessible by many modes of transportation, recognizes natural resources as an asset, and features a combination of uses that enables people to live,work,play, and shop in an environment that is uniquely Tigard. Findings: The amendment is consistent with this goal as the Tigard 2011 EOA identifies the redevelopment of centers (including Downtown) and corridors, for housing and employment, as an important economic development activity to ensure a 20-year supply of vacant employment and industrial lands. This redevelopment will result in more intense urban land uses that reduce the dependency on the automobile and increase opportunities for walking, biking, and public transit. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, the Commission finds that the proposed amendment satisfies the applicable goals and policies contained in the City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan. METRO URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONAL PLAN TITLE 4 Findings: The Regional Framework Plan calls for a strong regional economy. To improve the economy, Title 4 seeks to provide and protect a supply of sites for employment by limiting the STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CPA 2011-00002 EOA PAGE 11 OF 17 types and scale of non-industrial uses in Regionally Significant Industrial Areas (RSIAs), Industrial and Employment Areas. Title 4 also seeks to provide the benefits of "clustering" to those industries that operate more productively and efficiently in proximity to one another than in dispersed locations. Title 4 further seeks to protect the capacity and efficiency of the region's transportation system for the movement of goods and services and to encourage the location of other types of employment in Centers, Corridors,Main Streets and Station Communities. Metro staff has confirmed that the City of Tigard is in compliance with Title 4. The development of the Tigard 2011 Economic Opportunities Analysis involved discussions with Metro staff and Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development staff. They were provided the opportunity to review and comment on all work leading up to the document proposed for adoption. The purpose of the collaboration was to ensure consistency and compliance with state and regional requirements. This amendment (CPA2011-00002) adopts the Tigard 2011 Economic Opportunities Analysis, which was completed following the rules outlined in OAR 660, Division 9. The amendment sets policy related to a 20-year supply of land and does not affect compliance with Title 4. The amendment is consistent Title 4. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis above, the Commission finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 4. OREGON ADMINISTRATIVE RULE 660,DIVISION 9 Findings: The Land Conservation and Development Commission adopted Oregon Administrative Rule 660, Division 9 to implement Statewide Planning Goal 9 and "to provide an adequate land supply for economic development and employment growth in Oregon." The City of Tigard is currently in State Periodic Review, and Section 10 requires the review and amendment of comprehensive plans and land use regulations during periodic review. The City was required to complete an economic opportunities analysis as part of its periodic review work program to ensure compliance with this rule. The development of the Tigard 2011 Economic Opportunities Analysis complied with the rules outlined in Section 30, which requires multi-jurisdiction coordination. This was accomplished through collaboration with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development and Metro, to ensure consistency with policies and regulations associated with Division 9 and the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Title 4. Both organizations were given the opportunity to review work products throughout the process. They were also afforded the opportunity for a final review with other affected jurisdictions/organizations. In addition, the Tigard 2011 EOA followed the rules set forth in Sections 15, 20, and 25. Section 15 outlines the necessary elements of an economic opportunities analysis. The Tigard 2011 EOA contains all necessary elements. Section 20 outlines the required and recommended policies to address in the comprehensive plan. The Tigard Comprehensive Plan, the Tigard 2011 EOA and associated amendments comply with Section 20. Section 25 requires measures adequate to implement policies. The Tigard 2011 EOA addressed all necessary elements of Section 25 and is in compliance with Division 9.

Summary of Stakeholder Interviews—40 J. Map of Buildable Lands and Redevelopment/Refill Potential—44 Executive Summary The City of Tigard has conducted an Economic Opportunities Analysis (EOA) as required by its Periodic Review work program to update its Comprehensive Plan. The City received grant funds from the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) for technical consultant assistance to complete this task. The EOA was developed in compliance with OAR 660 Division 9 (Statewide Planning Goal 9: Economic Development). The EOA is in-part a technically-based study that compares projected demand for land for industrial and other employment uses to the existing supply of such land. At the same time,it provides economic development policies and actions consistent with emerging economic opportunities, market trends, and local vision Vision and Goals In March 2008, as part of a robust public process, the City of Tigard updated the Economic Development chapter of its Comprehensive Plan. The chapter included the City's vision and goals for economic development to read: Vision The City shall have a strong and resilient local economy with a diverse portfolio of economic activity: retail,professional service and industrial jobs. Goals 1. Develop and maintain a strong, diversified and sustainable local economy. 2. Make Tigard a center and incubator for innovative businesses including those that focus on environmental sustainability. 3. Make Tigard a prosperous and desirable place to live and do business. Demographic and Employment Trends Tigard has been increasing in population at a slower rate (1.3%) than Washington County, but above Oregon and national growth rates. Tigard population is estimated to be 47,460 as of 2009, up from 42,260 residents in 2,000. Tigard currently is relatively"jobs rich"with a positive ratio of 2.3 jobs per household,which is well above the tri-county Metro regional average of 1.5 jobs per household. This is understandable given Tigard's concentration of regional employment centers,including Washington Square Mall, the "Tigard Triangle" employment area near the confluence of I-5/Hwy. 217, and pockets of industrial uses along the Hwy. 217 corridor. Tigard also is home to a number of large retail employers at Washington Square Mall as well as several large high-tech manufacturing, construction contractors,professional,business operations, and state and local government operations. Regional commercial and industrial real estate brokers see Tigard as a well-defined submarket within the suburban Metro region. Tigard's office market is especially competitive within the inner southwest portion of the region.Additionally,various efforts are underway to make the Downtown Tigard area a more viable place to live and work. Target Industries In line with Tigard's vision and goals, and in consultation with the City Planning Commission, the consultant team and City staff recommend that the City focus on retaining and attracting a mix of existing and emerging business clusters that pay above average wages. This includes existing, established clusters such as: • Durable goods manufacturing (includes metals and machinery) • Education (private and non-profits) EOA—Staff Recommended Draft • Financial services • Information (including software development) • Professional and technical services • Wholesale trade They also recommend that the City focus on emerging clusters,including health care and advanced technology (i.e.,green energy) manufacturing and research operations. Tigard's Land Demand and Supply The consulting team prepared a range of land need forecasts including: efficient, medium, and high land needs scenarios. These scenarios all take into account the Metro employment forecasts, but assume varying levels of industrial development and redevelopment. As summarized in the table below, the land efficient need scenario assumes 48 acres of net new industrial vacant land demand,which is just below the estimated vacant industrial land supply of 50 acres. If the City chooses to pursue a more aggressive economic growth strategy that is consistent with the moderate or high land need scenario,the City would need to identify another 14 to 30 acres of vacant industrial land area to meet the level of industrial demand associated with adding another 1,059 to 1,324 industrial jobs. 20-Year Industrial Demand Forecast and Vacant Land Supply, Tigard USB Efficient Land Moderate Land High Land Land Demand and Supply Need Need Need Scenario Scenario Scenario Demand for Vacant Industrial 48 64 80 Land Supply of Vacant Industrial 50 50 50 Land Land Surplus or (Deficit) 2 (30) Existing Forecast of Preliminary Parcel Distribution, Unconstrained Parcel Size Surplus Efficient Land Need Forecast 1 Supply (tax Demand (tax lots) lots) (tax lots) 1/ Less than 1 acre 12 10 2 1 to 5 acres 5 5 0 5 t 10 acres 0 0 0 10 to 20 acres 2 2 0 20+ acres 0 0 0 Total 19 17 2 Notes: 'Tax lot demand forecast expected to meet or exceed supply in 20 years.

As shown in the table below, the land efficient needs scenario assumes 78 acres of net new commercial and mixed-use vacant land demand,which is just below the estimated vacant land supply of 86 acres. As with the industrial land needs, an economic growth strategy that is consistent with the moderate or EOA—Staff Recommended Draft ii high land needs scenario would require the City to identify an additional 19 to 45 acres of vacant commercial and mixed-use land to meet the demand.

Recommendations In accordance with the proposed vision and goals, the consulting team and City staff recommends the City pursue the "efficient land need scenario". The implications of this recommendation are that the City will focus a significant portion of future employment growth and high-density housing development in its Metro-designated Town Center (Downtown); Regional Center (Washington Square); High Capacity Transit Corridor (Hwy 99W); and the Tigard Triangle. More detailed information on employment trends and projections, and land needs and supply is found throughout the remainder of the document. EOA—Staff Recommended Draft INTRODUCTION The City of Tigard has conducted an Economic Opportunities Analysis (EOA) as required by its Periodic Review work program. The City received grant funds from the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) for technical consultant assistance to complete this task. The EOA was developed in compliance with OAR 660 Division 9 (Statewide Planning Goal 9: Economic Development) and is a technical study that compares projected demand for land for industrial and other employment uses to the existing supply of such land. The purpose of the EOA is to improve opportunities for Tigard to attract and maintain the type and quality of employment desired by its citizens,grow its economy, and maintain its quality of life. Goal 9 emphasizes the preservation and protection of vacant land for industrial and employment uses. This will happen by adopting policies that ensure an adequate supply of industrial and other employment lands within the City of Tigard. The Tigard Planning Commission acted as the advisory committee for the project,reviewing each task during the process to complete the EOA. The anticipated outcomes of the project are: 1. An understanding of the characteristics of Tigard's employment lands and their adequacy to accommodate future economic activity; 2. Updated economic development policies and action measures as a basis to plan for a supply of appropriately zoned land necessary for existing businesses to expand and to accommodate future economic activities. The six tasks reviewed by the Planning Commission included: 1. Economic Development Vision and Goals 2. Economic Trends Analysis 3. Site Suitability Analysis (Land Demand) 4. Inventory of Suitable Sites (Land Supply) 5. Assessment of Potential (Reconciliation of Demand and Supply) 6. Implementation Policies and Action Measures The process and findings of these tasks are outlined in detail throughout the remainder of the EOA. This includes examining key demographic and employment opportunities and trends to assess Tigard's economic development potential, projecting employment growth, and determining short- and long- term demand for employment land. This demand is compared to an inventory of suitable commercial and industrial properties (supply) to assess the sufficiency of immediate and longer term (20-year) supply of commercial and industrial employment land in the City's Urban Planning Area (UPA). Finally, economic development policies and action measures are recommended for inclusion in the Tigard Comprehensive Plan. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT VISION AND GOALS In March 2008, as part of a robust public process, the City of Tigard updated the Economic Development chapter of its Comprehensive Plan. The chapter included the City's vision and goals for economic development: EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 1 Vision The City shall have a strong and resilient local economy with a diverse portfolio of economic activity: retail,professional service and industrial jobs. Goals 1. Develop and maintain a strong, diversified and sustainable local economy. 2. Make Tigard a center and incubator for innovative businesses including those that focus on environmental sustainability. 3. Make Tigard a prosperous and desirable place to live and do business. Community Economic Development Objectives Community Economic Development Objectives were developed through interviews with City staff and a review of Tigard's economic development vision,goals and recommended action measures. These objectives were refined based on comments from the Planning Commission and the results of interviews with key stakeholders,including state and regional agencies, the Chamber of Commerce, Tigard Central Business District Association, and local employers and developers. • Encourage businesses that provide family-wage jobs to start-up, expand, or locate in Tigard. • Develop industry clusters, and preserve jobs, through the retention, expansion, and recruitment of industries that already have a presence in Tigard. • Promote well-designed and efficient development and redevelopment of vacant and underutilized industrial and commercial lands. • Ensure the City's land use and other regulatory practices are flexible and adaptive and that adequate public facilities and infrastructure exist to support a diverse and stable economic base. • Focus significant employment growth in Tigard's designated centers and corridors and support the development of efficient regional multi-modal transportation systems. • Limit the development of retail and service uses in Tigard's designated industrial areas to preserve the potential of these lands for industrial jobs. Support neighborhood commercial uses to meet smart growth goals. • Encourage businesses that are environmentally and economically sustainable. ECONOMIC TRENDS ANALYSIS The consultant team conducted an economic overview for the City of Tigard,including a review of national, state, regional, county, and local economic trend data and real estate market analysis of office, commercial retail,industrial, and public government space development for the Tigard Urban Service Boundary. The analysis focuses on the expected level of demand for new commercial,industrial, and public development and related gross buildable land needs over the next 20 years (2011-2031). Both the U.S. and Oregon economies are currently mired in the aftermath of a national economic recession that began in December 2007. The current economic slowdown is now the longest on record since the Great Depression;however, some economic expansion is beginning to occur. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, real Gross Domestic Product (GDP is the measure of value of all goods and services in the U.S.) increased at an annual rate of 3.7 percent during the first quarter of 2010, and increased by 2.4 percent during the second quarter of 2010. EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 2 Consumers are still very cautious as unemployment rates remain high and high levels of home foreclosures continue. Oregon posted a year-over-year overall job loss of 16,000 jobs between June 2009 and June 2010. At the same time, the state's unemployment rate decreased to 10.5 percent in June 2010, compared to 11.6 percent in June 2009. It should be noted that Oregon's employment levels have declined over the past year in spite of the drop in unemployment rate. This trend likely reflects a decline in the number of people who are actively seeking employment. The U.S. and Oregon economies are now poised for a slow economic recovery. The July 2010 survey of the National Association of Business Economists reported expectations of slow growth in GDP during the second half of 2010 in the U.S. as industry demand,profit margins, employment, capital spending and credit conditions improve. Despite job losses,population levels continue to increase in both Oregon and Tigard due to population migration patterns,increases in immigrant population levels and natural population increases. As indicated in Table 1, according to the Portland State University Population Research Center, the population in Tigard increased to 47,460 residents in 2009,up from 42,260 residents in 2000. The average annual growth rate (AAGR) for population in Tigard was 1.3% between 2000 and 2009,which was below the level of population growth recorded for Washington County,but above the Oregon and national growth rates.

Metro (the regional government) has prepared forecasts for households and employment for all local jurisdictions in the Metro Urban Growth Planning Area. The most recently adopted Metro growth forecasts are referred to as the Metroscope Generation 2.3 model, and include a forecast period from 2005 to 2030. FCS GROUP extrapolated the Metro forecasts to year 2035 using Metro's forecasted growth rate from the 2005-2030. While Metro is currently in the process of preparing updated growth forecasts for the region, the Metroscope Generation 2.3 forecasts are being used for this EOA since they are the only set of officially adopted forecasts at this time.As indicated in Table 2, the 2005 to 2035 forecasts anticipate that Tigard will add approximately 3,185 households and 24,167 jobs over the 25-year period. The extrapolated 2035 Metro job forecasts shown in Table 2 are provided for informational purpose only. In light of the recent national economic recession that caused severe declines in Oregon employment (from 2007 through 2010),Metro's 2030 job forecast for Tigard is assumed to be achieved by year 2035 under the "medium forecast" scenario used in the Tigard EOA. As noted in Table 2, the Metro job growth forecasts reflect the fact that Tigard currently is relatively "jobs rich"with a positive ratio of 2.3 jobs per household,which is well above the tri-county Metro regional average of 1.5 jobs per household. This is no surprise given Tigard's concentration of regional employment centers,including Washington Square Mall, the "Tigard Triangle" employment area near the confluence of I-5/Hwy. 217, and pockets of industrial uses along the Hwy. 217 corridor.

Washington Square Mall already functions as a regional commercial center that draws shoppers and patrons from over a 30-mile radius. With 1,458,734 square feet (s f) of retail and entertainment space, the mall has five anchor stores including JC Penny,Macy's, Nordstrom, Sears, and Dick's Sporting Goods and 170 specialty stores. The mall added 28 new stores and restaurants in 2005, along with a new multi-level parking structure. In addition to large retail employers,Tigard is also home to several large high-tech manufacturing, construction contractors, professional, business operations and state and local government operations. Table 3 provides a list of Tigard employers with more than 250 jobs per establishment. EOA-Staff Recommended Draft Table 3.

According to regional commercial and industrial real estate brokers,Tigard is a well-defined submarket within the suburban Metro region. Tigard's office market is especially competitive within the inner southwest portion of the region,with businesses considering locations among several areas including Tigard; 217 Corridor/Beaverton; Kruse Way; Barbur Blvd/Capitol Hwy;Tualatin and Wilsonville. Recent office leasing market statistics indicate that office vacancy rates in the Metro region have been increasing since 2008 as many businesses have shed jobs and scaled back on required space needs. As indicated in Appendix A, negative absorption levels have been occurring during the first six months of the year,particularly in Class A Office space,where Tigard experienced a net loss of 13,097 sf during the first half of this year. As of July 1, 2010 Tigard had total Class A vacancy rates of 151,900 sf and another 66,000 sf in vacant Class B and C space. Tigard's Class B inventory has experienced positive absorption this year,with 12,800 sf of net absorption. Since July 2010,Tigard has recorded several positive lease transactions,which rank among the largest in the region, such as Bridgewell Resources (32,088 gsf); Comsys into the Lincoln Center; State Farm Mutual Insurance (23,712 gsf) into Fanno Creek Place; and CAN Insurance (17,843 gsf) into the Pacific Parkway Center. Industrial leasing activity and vacancy rates were also significantly impacted by the recent economic recession. As indicated in Appendix B, Tigard had approximately 170,000 sf of vacant flex space (13.4%vacancy rate), and 339,000 sf of vacant warehouse space (7.7%vacancy rate) as of July 1, 2010. EOA—Staff Recommended Draft Overall industrial lease rates in the Tigard submarket averaged $7.68 per sf/year, and were among the highest in the Metro suburbs. The City of Tigard and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) are taking steps to enhance the Downtown Tigard area to make it a more viable place to live and work. At a cost of$12 million,intersection improvements along Pacific Highway at Hall Blvd. and Greenburg Rd. are being paid for by ODOT,Washington County and the City of Tigard. This project is slated for completion by Spring 2011 and will include a third through-lane on the highway, turn lanes on side streets, an extended median,wider sidewalks,new bike lanes,improved pedestrian crossings, and wider corners for truck turning movements. This effort will also enhance access into and from Downtown Tigard. Tigard's recently completed Downtown Plan is setting the regulatory stage and establishing a new vision for renovating downtown. The vision is intended to be a 50-year look at how the downtown could change into a "mixed-use urban village"with a wide range of housing and commercial opportunities that optimize natural features, such as Fanno Creek and Fanno Creek Park, transportation facilities, such as Pacific Hwy. and the Westside Express Commuter Rail system, and even light rail or bus rapid transit service to/from Portland. To estimate future development potential for Tigard employment, FCS GROUP evaluated the 10-year employment growth forecasts prepared by the Oregon Employment Department for the Metro Tri- County region, and Metro growth forecasts for Tigard. As shown in Figure 1,the 10-year job growth forecasts for the Metro Tri-County Region portend a positive trend towards job growth for all industry sectors, except federal government and the manufacturing sector. The sectors that are expected to grow the fastest in the Tri-County Metro Region include: educational and health services;professional and business services;leisure and hospitality;local government; retail; and wholesale trade.

To estimate future development potential for Tigard, FCS GROUP evaluated the 10-year employment growth forecasts prepared by the Oregon Employment Department as well as the extrapolated employment growth forecasts from Metro. In light of the recent national economic recession that caused severe declines in Oregon employment (from 2007 through 2010),Metro's 2030 job forecast for Tigard is assumed to be achieved by year 2035 under the "medium forecast" scenario. As indicated in Appendix C, the 20-year job growth forecasts for Tigard indicate a more positive trend towards job growth for all industry sectors. According to Metro (and FCS GROUP interpretation of Metro data), the general sectors that are expected to grow the fastest in Tigard over the next 20 years include: services (+10,092 jobs); retail (+3,810 jobs),industrial/other (+1,324 jobs), and government (+882 jobs). The job growth projections indicate that Tigard should expect to experience significant redevelopment opportunities over the next 20-years. A range in employment forecasts is provided to take into account current weak market conditions and national economic expectations that expect lower-rates of job growth over the next several years. As indicated in Table 4, there is a great level of uncertainty EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 7 regarding potential job growth for Tigard in light of weak regional and national employment growth predictions.

Tigard is expected to add between 9,665 and 16,108 new jobs over the next 20 years. As indicated in Table 5, this amount of employment growth translates into approximately 4.2 to 7.1 million of new or renovated building square footage (floor area). Table 5.

Source: FCS GROUP. A large portion of this demand will need to be met by redevelopment and utilization of vacant buildings since large vacant undeveloped tracts of land are becoming increasingly scarce. It is estimated that redevelopment and utilization of vacant buildings is expected to accommodate 70% of the retail space demand, 50% of the service/office demand, 40% of the industrial demand, and 40% of the government facilities demand. Table 6 shows the expected level of redevelopment and refill in the Tigard USB over the next 20 years. As the existing vacant land supply in Tigard gets developed, the level of redevelopment activity is expected to rise. Prime redevelopment locations in Tigard include Downtown and the Tigard Triangle, and future planned high capacity transit stations along Pacific Hwy. The City's Downtown Plan envisions 2,500 dwelling units and over one million square feet of commercial office and retail space being added over the next few decades.

After accounting for the levels of redevelopment activity identified in Table 6, the amount of vacant land demand in Tigard for employment uses over the next 20-years is expected to range from 126 to 210 acres. Preliminary estimates for vacant lands needs in Tigard by general building type are provided in Table 7, and supporting assumptions are reflected in Appendix D and Appendix E. Table 7.

To help validate these assumptions, FCS GROUP conducted an additional analysis of retail sales inflow/outflow within Tigard. The retail analysis provided in Appendix D indicates that the amount of local retail trade in Tigard over the next 20 years could support an additional 1.4 million square feet of redevelopment or new development activity, even if current levels of retail sales inflow were cut by 50%. Hence,it appears that the "slow" or"land efficient"vacant land demand scenario is the best match with respect to the retail market potential for the Tigard USB. The actual amount and timing of new development will vary from year to year. The wide range in development forecasts reflects current uncertainty regarding the region's ability to retain and attract major employers, the City's desire to stimulate redevelopment in downtown, and limited ability to accommodate new commercial and industrial development on vacant lands. EOA—Staff Recommended Draft Business Clusters Analysis It is a widely accepted theory among economic development professionals that"business clusters" are the primary force driving local economic currents and business location decisions. Clusters of business activity go well beyond mere concentrations of industry or employment types. They represent unique competitive market advantages with regard to employment,work force, creativity, entrepreneurship, business costs, and supporting natural resources. The clusters analysis prepared by FCS Group is intended to identify potential employment sectors that are most compatible with local economic policy objectives. The process entailed: 1. Obtaining Employment Security (ES202) wage and salary employment data from the Oregon Employment Department (OED) for the Tigard Urban Service Boundary (USB),Washington County,Multnomah County and Clackamas County (tri-county region) for the year 2008. 2. Conducting a location-quotient (LQ) analysis to evaluate business and industrial clusters in the Tigard UGB relative to the tri-county region. 3. Evaluating business clusters within the Tigard UGB with regard to the LQ, projected growth rates, economic size of each cluster, and average wage rates. 4. Classifying each business cluster with regard to one of four classifications,including: I. STARS: Businesses with large LQ (propensity to locate in the Tigard USB) and higher than average projected growth rate compared to the tri-county region. II. EMERGING: Businesses with small LQ and high average growth rate (possible pent up demand or competitive market disadvantage relative to other locations). III. MATURE: Businesses with large LQ but lower than average growth rate. IV. CHALLENGED: Businesses with small LQ and lower than average growth rate. The business cluster analysis summarized in Figure 2 identifies the business sectors within the Tigard USB by their LQ, size and growth potential. Each sector has been analyzed by their North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code. This code is used by the federal government to classify types of businesses for tax accounting and economic research purposes. The data was derived from the OED ES202 wage and salary employment statistics for the year ending in 2008.

The clusters analysis classifies the existing business sectors in the Tigard USB into four general categories: Industry Sectors with Large LQ/High Growth Potential ("Stars") • Educational Services (private or non-profit) • Professional and Technical Services • Professional Administration and Waste Management Services • Wholesale Trade EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 11 Industry Sectors with Small LQ/High Growth Potential ("Emerging") • Health Care and Social Services • Food Service and Drinking Places • Arts, Entertainment and Recreation Industry Sectors with Large LQ/Low Growth Potential ("Mature") • Retail Trade • Information Services • Financial Activities and Services • Construction • Nondurable Goods Manufacturing Industry Sectors with Small LQ/Low Growth Potential ("Challenged") • Transportation, and Warehousing • Miscellaneous Services • Metals Manufacturing • Computer Parts and Equipment Manufacturing • Lodging • Transportation Equipment Manufacturing • Government In addition to evaluating existing local business clusters, the City may also consider the expected regional growth in business sectors and emerging clusters.According to the Oregon Employment Department, the job sectors with the highest potential for new growth in the greater Portland metropolitan region include: • Business administration and waste management • Finance and insurance • Health care • Hotel/motel accommodations and food services • Professional • Retail trade • Scientific and technical service (computer science, engineering) • State and local government • Transportation and utilities (warehousing, distribution and energy research,private utilities) • Wholesale trade' While manufacturing of durable goods does not make the list of the top growth sectors, there are certain subsectors within manufacturing that are growing faster than others. The manufacturing sectors with the greatest net new job growth potential in the greater Portland metropolitan region include: computer-related parts manufacturing, transportation equipment, other miscellaneous durable goods (such as solar panels), and miscellaneous non-durable goods (such as apparel research and design). 1 These emerging business clusters are documented in the Regional Wired Workforce Innovation and Regional Economic Development, Global Development Strategy, prepared by FCS GROUP et al, 2008. EOA—Staff Recommended Draft The greater Portland metropolitan region is now considered an epicenter within the United States for sustainable technology.According to Global Insight, the greater Portland metropolitan region employs 6,700 people in "green jobs"which is more than Denver,Austin, Seattle and San Jose. The number of workers in green jobs (such as solar panel manufacturing,wind energy, bio energy research and manufacturing) is expected to increase to 53,000 over the next two decades. Portland General Electric and Pacific Power are ranked in the top three among the nation's top utility companies for Green Energy sales, and the greater Portland region has more LEED-certified buildings than any other U.S. metropolitan area. With the Portland metropolitan region, recent federal and state tax policies have helped spur major investments in green technology and energy by firms such as: SolarWorld, SunEdison,Vestas and Portland General Electric—creating a major new industrial cluster in clean technology. Additional investments in advanced manufacturing are being made by Intel, Flir Systems (producer of night vision and thermal imaging systems), Precision Castparts (maker of parts used in Vestas wind turbines,Boeing aircraft and other products), Genentech, and other firms. These are examples of manufacturing companies that are finding success within the greater Portland metropolitan region, even in challenging economic times. Focused marketing and business recruitment efforts are being made by the State of Oregon and regional economic development stakeholders to attract certain established and emerging business clusters. The business and industry clusters that are currently being targeted by the Oregon Business Development Department, Portland Business Alliance and the Portland Development Commission include advanced manufacturing, clean technology (with sustainability sub-clusters in green building, solar&wind power), active wear/outdoor gear, and software. Targeted Business Clusters According to its Community Economic Development Objectives, the City of Tigard may target businesses that generally offer above average wages and provide health care and retirement benefits that support families. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the occupations that had the fastest growth and highest pay over the past 10 years nationally included: computer systems analysts, registered nurses, computer support specialists, teachers, social workers, college faculty, computer programmers, engineering sciences, police officers, securities and financial services, physicians, advertising,marketing, management analysts, electrical engineers,paralegals,writers/editors, commercial artists, medical and health service managers. It is interesting to note that almost two-thirds of the jobs filled in these fast growing occupations required some level of on-the-job training in addition to high school and a college degree.2 In light of these findings, the consultant team and City staff recommend that Tigard focus on retaining and attracting a mix of existing and emerging business clusters that pay above average wages. This includes existing, established clusters, such as durable goods manufacturing (includes metals and machinery), education (private and non-profits), financial services,information (including software development), professional and technical services, and wholesale trade. They also recommend that the City focus on emerging clusters,including health care and advanced technology (i.e.,green energy) manufacturing and research operations. As indicated in Table 8, these recommended business clusters (with the exception of educational services) pay above average wage rates. 2 Based on findings contained in publications provided by JIST Works, including the Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2008-2009; and America's Fastest Growing Jobs by Michael Farr.

Source: Oregon Employment Department, 2008. Average payroll reflects Washington and Multnomah counties. SITE SUITABILITY ANALYSIS (LAND DEMAND) The majority of the targeted businesses that consider expanding or relocating into Tigard will consist of small business operations (less than 50 employees) that can locate within existing professional office or EOA-Staff Recommended Draft p 4 industrial buildings, or within new office or flex/industrial buildings that are developed on vacant sites of less than five acres in size. It is also likely that there will be larger potential business and high-tech industrial operations that consider Tigard as a potential location for new campus-style developments. Certain opportunities may emerge as regional businesses expand and desire to remain within the tri-county region. Other opportunities may occur as global and national businesses desire to establish a presence in the Pacific Northwest. In any event,it is likely that Tigard could attract three to four large professional service, health care, education, and/or high tech industrial businesses over the next 20 years. As indicated in Table 9,Tigard is already home to 41 large private business operations (with between 70-250 employees). Tigard could continue to retain and attract large businesses if adequate sites are available. These types of large private operations usually require surplus adjacent land areas to accommodate future business expansion. Table 9.

EOA-Staff Recommended Draft The consultant/staff team recommends that Tigard provide a variety of small, medium and large vacant sites that meet the targeted business and industrial requirements. As indicated in Table 10, the existing businesses within Tigard can generally be grouped into three general land use categories: industrial, commercial and office. Table 10.

Source:Oregon Employment Department, 2008. Compiled by FCS GROUP. Most small and medium business establishments prefer to lease space in office or commercial buildings, and/or could locate into redevelopment sites in downtown or in selected redevelopment locations (e.g., near planned high capacity transit stations or within the Tigard Triangle). No special vacant land requirements are identified for future small or medium businesses. However, the City should pursue more proactive redevelopment strategies to accommodate small and medium sized businesses. Larger business establishments that are included within the targeted business clusters will likely have minimum site size and infrastructure service requirements. Typical site requirements for the larger targeted business sectors are described in Table 11 and described in more detail in Appendix F. Based on the site requirements described in Table 11 and Appendix F, the recommended targeted business clusters will need sites ranging from one to twenty-five acres,with a majority of the need falling in the five to ten-acre range.

INVENTORY OF SUITABLE SITES (LAND SUPPLY) Consistent with the employment land demand forecast, the buildable land inventory (BLI) for the Tigard EOA documents industrial and commercial inventory that currently exists within the Tigard Urban Planning Area (UPA). This analysis documents existing land use inventories and compares industrial and commercial land use needs required for addressing the slow,moderate and high growth forecast scenarios. Employment Land Inventory The Tigard EOA includes a recent buildable land inventory completed by the City of Tigard Planning staff using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data that is consistent with the current Draft 2009- 2035 Urban Growth Report (accepted by Metro Council in December 2009). The City's BLI included an analysis of existing vacant and partially vacant (sub-dividable) tax lots by current zoning classification and deducted all significant environmental constraints to estimate buildable land area within the Tigard USB. The land supply analysis focused on the land use classifications that support employment uses,including commercial,mixed-use, and industrial zones. The City has 10 commercial zones to account for a wide variety of uses ranging from retail to medical centers to mixed use centers. Tigard has three zones which accommodate industrial uses. Please refer to Appendix E for a detailed description of the allowed, conditional, and permitted uses within each of the City's zone classifications. The buildable land area for each tax lot was derived by analyzing GIS data pertaining to environmental features that would constrain the amount of potential site development on vacant and partially vacant areas. For purposes of this analysis, the environmental constraints were calculated for each site using EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 17 estimates for land area that is constrained by the following: Metro Title 3 designation (waterways, wetlands,riparian buffers, 100 year floodplain). The vacant and partially vacant land inventory for the Tigard UPA includes 125 tax lots with a total buildable land area of 136.1 acres, as indicated in Table 12. Tigard's vacant land supply primarily consists of small (less than one acre) tax lots and tax lots between one and five acres in size. As indicated in Table 12,the tax lots of less than five acres in size comprise 79.3 acres or nearly sixty percent of the total vacant land supply. The larger tax lots include three lots of five to ten acres (22.1 acres total), and two contiguous tax lots more than ten acres in size (34.7 acres total). Please refer to Appendix G for additional detail. Table 12.

As mentioned in the Site Suitability Analysis, the recommended targeted business clusters will need sites ranging from one to twenty-five acres to expand or locate within the Tigard UPA,with a majority of the need falling in the five to ten-acre range. The City appears to have a range of sites available to accommodate the targeted business clusters. However redevelopment sites may be needed to accommodate development needing five to ten-acre parcels. In light of the importance of redevelopment to the City's ability to grow and diversify its economic base, the City and consultant team also evaluated the relative level of high, medium and low redevelopment potential for each developed tax lot in the Tigard UPA. While this is not a stated requirement within OAR 660, Division 9,it is considered an important factor in deciding which land use growth scenario to target. The analysis of redevelopment opportunities is based on the ratio of assessed improvement value to land value for each tax lot using 2010 Washington County Assessor data. The results provided in Table 13 indicate that there are significant amounts of high and moderate redevelopment potential within the Tigard USB. The redevelopment analysis identifies 169 tax lots with a total of 115.6 acres as having"high" redevelopment potential, and 180 tax lots with 166.6 acres as having"moderate" redevelopment potential.

Source: City of Tigard. Short-Term Land Supply Determination In addition to the long-term land supply, OAR 660-009-0005 also requires the identification of a short- term supply of land meaning"suitable land that is ready for construction within one year of an application of a building permit or request for a service extension." OAR 660-009-0025 also requires that cities must provide "at least 25 percent of the total land supply within the urban growth boundary designated for industrial and other employment uses as short-term supply." In Tigard's case, all of the land supply currently included within the Tigard UPA is deemed by the City to be within the short-term supply category. Hence, there are existing roads,water, sewer, and other infrastructure facilities that are sized appropriately to handle some level of new development on the remaining vacant tax lots. One issue the City has been dealing with is that of highway capacity. This will continue to be an issue until a regional solution is found. This constraint was the cause of a maximum floor-to-area ratio of 0.4 being applied to the Tigard Triangle when a portion of it was rezoned to mixed-use employment. This severely limits the ability to maximize the development potential of available sites. It also causes proposed developments to provide mitigating measures when it is determined the increased vehicle trips will not meet ODOT performance measures. This can be financially constraining to a project if additional lanes,medians, or intersection improvements are required to be paid for by the development. Additionally, the Transportation Planning Rule (OAR 660-12-0600) and related ODOT performance standards for the state highways have presented a barrier to Tigard achieving its aspirations. This includes amending existing zoning to allow higher density developments that are consistent with the Region 2040 land use designations. The TPR requires an amendment to an adopted plan not cause an affected roadway to fail to meet performance standards, or if the forecast roadway operations are already failing to meet performance standards, the plan amendment must not further degrade performance. This is a known issue in Downtown,Washington Square Regional Center, along Pacific Highway, and in the Tigard Triangle, and may also arise in other areas near state highways or freeway interchanges. These issues are being addressed at the state and regional levels and could be somewhat mitigated as the City,Metro, and ODOT work to develop alternative performance standards through a corridor EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 19 refinement plan for Pacific Highway. The Pacific Highway corridor is also being studied for potential high-capacity transit service in the future. The presence of high-capacity transit could also alleviate some of the issues associated with ODOT performance measures by allowing new development to allocate additional trips to transit and reduce automobile trip demand. Strategies to promote transit- oriented development and address ODOT capacity issues are recommended as part of the implementation plan policies for the Tigard EOA. ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL (RECONCILIATION OF DEMAND AND SUPPLY) Short-Term Land Need Determination Commercial and industrial properties appear to clearly meet the statutory requirements for short-term land supply, as all of the long-term land supply can be classified as short-term as well as long-term supply. Industrial and commercial properties appear to be well served with adequate infrastructure, and there is an abundant supply of vacant industrial, office and retail building floor area being actively marketed in the Tigard USB today. Long-Term Land Need Determination Consistent with EOA documentation requirements, the economic trends analysis of land needs scenarios and the business clusters analysis indicates that the Tigard UPA can add approximately 794 net new industrial jobs without needing to add additional industrial-zoned land over the next 20 years. In light of current downward trends in industrial business activity, the land efficient need scenario appears to be most consistent with regional growth forecasts and anticipated market realities. Industrial Land Need and Parcel Requirements As indicated in Table 13,the land efficient need scenario assumes 48 acres of net new industrial vacant land demand,which is just below the estimated vacant industrial land supply of 50 acres. If the City opts to pursue a more aggressive economic growth strategy that is consistent with the moderate or high land need scenario, the City would need to identify another 14 to 30 acres of vacant industrial land area to meet the level of industrial demand associated with adding another 1,059 to 1,324 industrial jobs. In light of the City's rather limited remaining vacant industrial land supply of tax lots in excess of five acres, the consultant/staff team recommends that the City adopt economic goals and objectives that preserve the remaining large contiguous industrial sites for large industrial employment users. A preliminary expected forecast of demand by parcel size is also provided in Table 14, and assumes that virtually all of the remaining vacant industrial land supply within the Tigard UPA will be absorbed over the next 20 years.

Source: Based on findings included in demand and supply analysis. Commercial Land Need and Parcel Requirements As indicated in Table 15, the land efficient needs scenario assumes 78 acres of net new commercial and mixed-use vacant land demand,which is just below the estimated vacant land supply of 86 acres. As with the industrial land needs, an economic growth strategy that is consistent with the moderate or high land needs scenario would require the City to identify an additional 19 to 45 acres of vacant commercial and mixed-use land to meet the demand. . In light of the City's rather limited remaining vacant commercial and mixed-use land supply of lots in excess of five acres, the consultant/staff team recommends that the City adopt economic goals and objectives that preserve the remaining large contiguous commercial sites for strategic commercial retail and office employment users, and allow housing in these areas, only as part of a mixed-use development. A preliminary expected forecast of demand by parcel size is also provided in Table 15, and assumes that virtually all of the remaining vacant commercial land supply over one acre in size within the Tigard UPA will be absorbed over the next 20 years. The City also anticipates the development of high-capacity transit along the Pacific Highway corridor. The region has made a commitment to high-capacity transit and this corridor is the next to be studied. Any development of high-capacity transit would trigger the City to identify station areas to accept higher, transit supportive mixed-use densities. The logical locations for station areas would more than likely result in the rezoning of general commercial lands to mixed-use zoning. As both commercial and mixed-use zoned lands are included in this analysis, any rezoning would not decrease the amount of vacant or partially vacant land available. The range of allowed uses, from retail to multi-story office buildings,would not be affected. EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 21 Table 15.

Planning, Market, Cost and Risk Factors Consistent with EOA documentation requirements, the economic trends analysis, stakeholder interviews and business clusters analyses indicate that the Tigard USB is uniquely positioned within the greater Portland metropolitan region to experience continued success in retaining and attracting businesses and economic development. Risk of Losing Large Commercial and Industrial Sites As Tigard's vacant land supply of large parcels (more than five acres) becomes diminished, the City could risk losing economic growth potential if remaining larger industrial and commercial sites allow non-employment uses that displace prospective business opportunities. While the current short-term employment market is sluggish at best, the future long-term job growth trends bode well for Tigard if it preserves large commercial and industrial zoned parcels for intended business activity. These risks can be mitigated in part by adopting new economic development objectives that preserve large commercial and industrial areas for desired commercial and industrial business activities. Risk of Not Adequately Preparing for Targeted Area Redevelopment As Tigard's population and employment levels increase with time, and vacant land diminishes, the City will need to rely more upon redevelopment areas, and productivity increases from existing developed lands and businesses to achieve long-term economic strength and diversity. New economic EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 2. development objectives should be formulated to enable the City to leverage desired redevelopment in targeted locations such as downtown, and within planned transit-station communities. Risk of Expanding the USB in the Future Beyond the 20-year forecast time horizon the City should consider the need to grow into urban reserve locations,if the City's investment in infrastructure extensions yields a favorable return to its residents and businesses. An Urban Planning Area expansion is not necessary at this time to accommodate industrial and other employment land needs for the next 20 years, unless the City opts to pursue the moderate or high land needs scenario to accommodate additional commercial and industrial job growth. Planning and Permitting Risks The City should review its land use development code to ensure that it preserves sites for their intended use,yet is flexible enough to accommodate a full diversity of commercial and light industrial uses consistent with public safety,public facilities, and positive urban design characteristics. The ability to provide a streamlined and predictable permitting process can be a challenge as the City relies more on smaller infill and redevelopment sites to accommodate business growth. Non-Local Regulatory Risks The City is dependent upon ODOT to achieve higher trip caps in targeted redevelopment areas. As the City and Metro pursue high capacity transit facilities and assessed service levels,these regulatory risks may be addressed by assuming higher non-vehicle mode shares that result in reduced traffic impacts from new development. Most of the risk factors described above may be addressed by the City of Tigard. Others will require partnerships with regional and state regulatory agencies, such as Metro,Washington County and ODOT. The City can take a leadership position by providing a local planning and permitting environment that is favorable to business investment and more proactive economic marketing to raise awareness of Tigard's strengths as a preferred location for over 2,900 existing business establishments. IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES AND ACTION MEASURES OAR 660-009-0020 stipulates that comprehensive plans must provide community economic development objectives, a commitment to providing a competitive short-term land supply, and identification and provision of adequate sites and public facilities to serve economic development demand. Since the City of Tigard updated the economic development chapter of its Comprehensive Plan in 2008, the document contains a fairly complete set of economic development goals,policies and action measures. The following is a list of topics and recommended policy updates to comply with state statutes and/or implement the City's economic goals. Policies Community Economic Development Objectives (CEDOs) The majority of these objectives are already embedded in existing policies. Two new policies are recommended: 'The City shall encourage neighborhood commercial uses that support economic opportunities, multi-modal transportation options, neighborhood vitality, and the goals of efficient land use patterns." EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 23 "The City shall encourage businesses that are environmentally and economically sustainable." Commitment to Provide Adequate Sites and Facilities and Commitment to Provide a Short-Term Land Supply of Land The commitment to provide adequate public facilities is embedded in existing Policy 9.1.4 of the Comprehensive Plan. One new policy is recommended to describe the commitment to provide adequate sites and a short-term land supply: 'The City shall monitor and update its Buildable Lands Inventory to ensure adequate short and long-term supplies of buildable employment land." Provide for Prime Industrial Land Development on Large Lots Existing Policy 9.1.7 addresses the need to protect prime industrial land but does not address the need for large lots. It is recommended the policy be revised as follows: "The City shall limit the development of retail and service land uses in Metro-designated industrial areas, and especially on lots of 10 or more acres, to preserve the potential of these lands for industrial jobs." Promote Targeted Redevelopment in Downtown and other areas This issue is addressed by several existing policies and recommended action measures, but most directly by Policy 9.3.1: "The City shall focus a significant portion of future employment growth and high- density housing development in its Metro-designated Town Center (Downtown); Regional Center (Washington Square); High Capacity Transit Corridor (Hwy 99W); and the Tigard Triangle." No new language is proposed. Recommended Action Measures Assist property owners with the Oregon Industrial Site Certification Process A new recommended action measure is suggested: "Assistproperty owners with the Oregon Industrial Site Certification Process to help preserve and market the City's inventory of industrial lands." Economic Development Marketing and Incentives Directed Towards Strategic Clusters This issue is addressed indirectly by several recommended action measures,but could benefit from more concise language. A new recommended action measure is suggested: `Explore an economic development marketing and incentives program targeting strategic business clusters." Work with ODOT to address mobility standards Capacity issues on state highways (particularly Pacific Highway, Hwy. 217, and Interstate 5) impact economic development opportunities through trip caps,limited floor-to-area ratios, and required road improvements that are expensive. The conversation is just getting started at the regional level.A new recommended action measure is suggested: "Work with state and regional partners to develop alternative mobility standards that will benefit the community and its economic development Oorts." EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 24 Monitor Local and Regional Economic Development Initiatives This request from the Planning Commission led to a suggested new recommended action measure: `Monitor local and regional economic development initiatives to assess their effectiveness related to cost and outcome." Metro Designated Centers and Corridors Based on a resolution passed by the Tigard City Council,Metro recently amended its Growth Concept Map expanding the Tigard Town Center Boundary to include the entire Tigard Urban Renewal District and the Tigard Triangle. The City is required to adopt this change into its Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends adopting a definition that will refer to the Metro Growth Concept Map, thus eliminating the need to amend the Tigard Comprehensive Plan each time the Metro Growth Concept Map is amended.

Light Industrial District (1-L) Provides appropriate locations for general industrial uses, including manufacturing and production, research and development, warehousing and freight movement and wholesale sales activities with few, if any, nuisance characteristics. EOA—Staff Recommended Draft Heavy Industrial District (I-H) Provides appropriate locations for intensive industrial uses including I-L uses as well as railroad yards and waste-related activities. Uses include those which involve the use of raw materials, require significant outdoor storage and generate heavy truck and/or rail traffic. Properties are carefully located to minimize impacts on established residential, commercial and light industrial areas.

EOA-Staff Recommended Draft 39 APPENDIX I: SUMMARY OF STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS In support of the City of Tigard's statewide planning Goal 9 Economic Opportunity Analysis, consulting staff interviewed twelve business leaders, employers and economic experts to gather perspectives on the City's current position and future economic opportunities. Summary of interview responses are included after each question, shown in italics. The list of respondents is included at the end of the summary. 1. What is Tigard's primary market advantage within the state and region with regard to attracting population and jobs? What do you feel are its greatest assets? Stakeholders consistently reported that Tigard's location is its primary asset, particularly its proximity to 1-5 and other major transportation corridors such as Highway 217 and Highway 99W. Other factors frequently cited included Tigard's position relative to Portland, an educated, affluent population, and open spaces. Four respondents mentioned that the size of Tigard and its suburban setting are attractive. Other named assets include the variety of housing options, diversity of office and industrial buildings and availability of land. 2. I'm going to read you a list of seven (7) items. From the list, please identify Tigard's primary strengths as a place to do business. The list below is organized in order of frequency of response, shown in parentheses. • Proximity to 1-5 and other transportation corridors (1 1) • Quality of life (10) • Available, skilled workforce (10) • Adequate public infrastructure (transportation, utilities, etc.) (5) • Access to local markets and customers (5) • General business climate (4) • Interaction with firms in the same and/or related industries (2) 3. (Optional- for employers) Do you have plans to maintain or expand your business in Tigard? If not, will you relocate within the region or elsewhere? Why or why not? Most employers who were interviewed said they plan to maintain their current location but are unlikely to expand. Two others said they hope to expand as the economy improves. Reasons for not moving include preferred location, access, and property ownership. One employer said a recent employee survey showed that most of their employees live near the business. One business owner said they may relocate when the current lease expires and relocate to a more thriving business district. 4. What geographic area(s) do you think best define(s) Tigard's competitive market region for commercial office, retail and industrial development? EOA—Staff Recommended Draft Most interviewees responded to this question by identifying areas in the City that are thriving or successful employment districts. Four respondents felt that the Tigard Triangle is a particularly competitive market area within the city, especially for industrial and retail uses. One person felt strongly that the Triangle was not as competitive as the Hunziker area. Washington Square and the surrounding area were cited twice as being competitive for retail. Other areas mentioned by one person included Oregon Business Park, PacCorp and the area between Highway 99W and Scholls Ferry Road. 5. The City is interested in redevelopment in its downtown and along the Highway 99W corridor, developing a mixed-use district in the triangle south of Highway 99W and north of Highway 217, and adding more neighborhood commercial uses to meet local needs. Do you agree with these priorities? Why or why not? Are there other areas or corridors the City should focus on? Most respondents agreed with these priorities, though several cautioned against development that would compound existing transportation problems (particularly along Highway 99W). There was support for revitalizing downtown by adding new businesses and destinations; including mixed uses, parks and housing that contribute to a unique identity for the City. There was also a good deal of support expressed for improving the Triangle by adding services and diversifying the types of businesses there with available land. Other ideas for focused efforts included the Tiedeman/Greenburg area, the area north of Highway 99W and in the Oak Street or Locust Street areas by Washington Square. 6. What can Tigard do locally to complement the regional and state economy? Several respondents felt that improvements to the transportation network are important to support the Tigard economy. This included improving conditions for vehicle traffic, providing access to alternative transportation facilities such as bike lanes and light rail, and working with regional agencies (e.g., JPACT) to solve transportation problems. Two respondents suggested that the City needs an economic development department and/or active business recruitment by the mayor, city manager and economic development staff. Other ideas included lower taxes, incentives to start a business or re-locate in Tigard, and grants for small businesses. Two respondents recommended continuing to improve upon the current level of service and responsiveness of City building and planning staff. One suggested retaining large industrial tracts to attract potential employers. 7. What types of land and/or economic development actions or incentives are most needed in the City to nurture job growth and private investment? Respondents' most common suggestion was for the City to improve infrastructure- particularly transportation. Others suggested lowering taxes and strategically reducing system development charges (SDCs) for small businesses or other potential employers. Another suggested using enterprise zones or urban renewal areas to capture future tax revenues. Two others emphasized the importance of diversifying local businesses and professional services, particularly downtown. EOA—Staff Recommended Draft 8. What actions should be taken by the City to create a more balanced and sustainable community? Interview respondents had several ideas about how to create a balanced and sustainable community. These include diversifying the types of business in the city, adding more transportation options and creating mixed-use districts. Two people said that the City needs to focus its efforts and build a distinct identity and greater sense of community, including supporting local business and adding more commercial services to residential areas. Others suggested creating affordable housing and mixed-use districts near commuter rail and future light rail. Two respondents noted that they thought the City is doing well with its current efforts. 9. Along those lines, the City wishes to better balance jobs and housing. What types of housing do you think are most needed? While three interviewees responded that the current mix of housing is adequate, others suggested the need for a more diverse housing stock. Specific needs include moderate to low-income housing in or near downtown and commercial services, second-floor residential, condominiums and small lot or zero lot line homes. A few respondents suggested siting mixed-income housing near transit routes. 10. What business clusters exist or should exist in Tigard? What can the City do to build and strengthen these clusters? Most interview respondents said that Tigard does not have business clusters other than some collection of general services and industry. One identified a cluster of finance and professional services. Several felt that Tigard has a good diversity of businesses and does not need to build clusters. Others suggested that the City could encourage clusters by recruiting a large company so that supporting organizations follow, or by acquiring and consolidating large parcels to sell to a major employer. One respondent recommended the City find a niche such as specialty medical, technical or manufacturing that does not compete with existing retail establishments including Washington Square. 1 1 . What opportunities and challenges are there to expanding the traded sector in Tigard? What goods and services could be produced locally rather than imported, and what could be exported? Most respondents did not have an answer for this question. One suggested that all services are imported and another suggested polling the manufacturing sector to identify existing goods and services offered in Tigard. Another interviewee pointed out that there is a great deal of vacant Class A and B office and industrial space, which is both a challenge and an opportunity for the City to attract new industry and business. 12.Are there certain goods or services that you think are missing in the City of Tigard today? EOA—Staff Recommended Draft Goods and services that interviewees said were missing from Tigard include downtown grocery and retail, upscale restaurants and neighborhood commercial services. Others suggested that Tigard needs light rail or bus rapid transit as well as more parks and trails. One recommended that Tigard develop a unique identity based on neighborhood and housing design in order to compete with the large surrounding retail and cited Sierra Madre, CA as a successful example. 13. Is there anything else you'd like to add? Interview respondents offered the following closing comments: • One person stated that he is frustrated with the lack of economic development activity on the part of the City. • Tigard has the opportunity to be a good example for a small city. Improve transportation options and get people off the freeways while maintaining mobility in and between towns. • The City needs to be efficient to support businesses. Be prepared for the economic upturn. Keep an eye on the planning department and have a contingency plan to respond to an increase in business activity (e.g., hire contractors or new staff). • Be sure to "over-communicate" this and other City projects. Explore and use a variety of communication media, including mail and social media. • It is great that the City is doing this type of outreach and planning. • Tigard's city council members toured Vancouver, BC a few years ago to look at urban planning and transportation issues. The trip, hosted by Metro, was very beneficial in generating ideas on how to meet these challenges. List of Interviewees 1. Kirsten Alvares, Gerber Legendary Blades 2.

Tigard's economy is intertwined with the economy of the region, the nation, and the world. Goal 9: Economic Development 'To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and pro.OeriO of Oregon's citizens." Tigard's location at the crossroads of several transportation routes has proven to be a major advantage. Other advantages include the relatively high educational attainment level of its citizens; and its proximity to the high technology centers in Washington County and major educational institutions such as Portland State University and Portland Community College. A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation" for a city its size due to the comparatively high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business. Tigard residents envision a future economy that builds on these strengths. Tigard shall have a strong and resilient local economy with a diverse portfolio of economic activity: retail, professional service, and industrial jobs. The local economy shall provide for goods and services for local resident and business needs but also have the goal of expanding the "traded sector."This sector sells goods and services outside the region to the broader state, national and international markets and/or produces goods and services that normally would have to be imported to the community. These businesses bring income into the community or region and keep local income from going elsewhere. Tigard's future economy may include activities whose characteristics are not foreseeable at this time such as live-work arrangements;light manufacturing combined with research and development; creative crafts and arts such as film, advertising, communications, etc. Therefore the City's land use and other regulatory practices shall be flexible and adaptive so as not to preclude desirable economic development opportunities. Tigard is sometimes perceived as a bedroom community for nearby cities. This is not accurate. Tigard businesses provided 38,628 41,422 full and part time jobs in 20089§ (State of Oregon Employment Department). This number is greater than the number of Tigard residents over the age of 16 in the workforce: 25,537 (O.E.D, 2006). Seventy percent of Tigard residents work outside the City, so thousands of workers from throughout the region are regularly commuteing to Tigard jobs (2000 Census). The City shall seek to expand the opportunities for residents to work closer to where they live. This will require promoting a mix of high quality housing opportunities for households with varying incomes. Quality of life factors shall be promoted to attract economic investments and a skilled work force. Among these factors are an attractive and well-maintained community;high levels of public safety; accessible and responsive local government; availability of a variety of housing, good public schools; access to nature,high quality parks,leisure and recreation activities, safe CPA 2011-00002 1 City of Tigard Comp Plan Goal 9 Planning Commission Hearing and convenient multi-modal transportation opportunities, and smoothly running essential infrastructure. State and Regional Policies: The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) and Metro have developed policies that address economic opportunities,which are based on Statewide Planning Goal 9. A major emphasis of the Goal 9 policies is to preserve and protect land for industrial and employment uses. Metro has sought to implement this on a regional basis. Title 4 of the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan identifies Industrial and Other Employment Areas that are important to the region. Goal 9 also requires cities to complete an Economic Opportunities Analysis as part of State Periodic Review. The Tigard 2011 Economic Opportunities Analysis (EOA) was adopted in May 2011. The EOA analysis showed that the land efficient need strategy is appropriate to supply adequate vacant land to accommodate projected employment and industrial uses over the next 20 years. This required no rezoning of property at the time. The land efficient need strategy is based on findings that Tigard has a limited supply of litle available vacant industrial and employment : -: .: , : - . -- .. -- - -:. development. Thclands; the City is currently;,everely limited in its ability to expand its boundaries to increase its industrial/employment land base;;the City has a good supply of properties that meet the definition of"high redevelopment potential"; the City's strategy is to redevelop Downtown Tigard, the Tigard Triangle, the Washington Square Regional Center, and the Pacific Highway Corridor; and the City has an opportunity to jump-start redevelopment with the arrival of high capacity transit.;,o the only way to designate new industrial land would be to re zone existing land. This is unlikely to happen at a large scale. Alternately, the City could encourage industrial type uses that arc not as land intensive. Tigard can ensure a strong economy with these desired characteristics by working on a formal economic development program. In the near term the Downtown Urban Renewal District has the potential to redevelop and attract additional employment and economic activity. Key Findings • Tigard is home to a wide range of economic activity. • Tigard does not have a formal city-wide economic development strategy. • Tigard's location at the crossroads of important transportation corridors I-5,Hwy 217, and Hwy 99W is a major advantage in attracting economic activity. • Approximately 31% of Tigard's land area is zoned for commercial,industrial, and mixed use purposes. These properties represent about 31% of the total assessed property value. • The major commercial and mixed-use areas of the City are Washington Square, Tigard Triangle,Downtown Tigard, and the Hwy 99W corridor. Industrially zoned properties are generally located along the freight rail line,in between Fanno Creek and I-5. CPA 2011-00002 2 City of Tigard Comp Plan Goal 9 Planning Commission Hearing • In 2005,Tigard public and private sectors provided 38,628 full and part time jobs. {This docs not include self employed workers.) • In 2005, 3,124 businesses paid the Tigard business tax. About half of these businesses employ four people or fewer. • In Tigard, there are more jobs than people in the workforce living within the City boundaries. Seventy percent of residents commute outside the City; therefore,Tigard is a net attractor of commuters. • In Tigard, the Wholesale Trade sector has the largest amount of sales. The Retail sector has the largest annual aggregate payroll and largest number of workers. •—The Tigard 2011 EOA identified existing and emerging business clusters that pay above average wages and could be accommodated by current conditions. Financial Activities, Retail, and Construction arc employment sectors with high Location Quotients (propensity to locate) in Tigard. • Metro has designated approximately 1,100 acres of Industrial and Commercially zoned properties in Tigard as Title 4 Industrial and Employment Areas. Tigard will have to amend its code to limit the development of retail and service uses for some I P zone properties. • There has been no large-scale encroachment of retail/office uses in industrial areas in Tigard. • In 1997 Metro assigned Tigard a capacity of 17,801 new jobs by the year 2017. Between 1997 and 2004,Tigard added approximately 3,800 jobs. • Tigard's supply of industrially zoned land will likely be inadequate to meet the forecasted 2024 job demand in this arca. It appears that there is an adequate supply of commercial land. • Tigard has little vacant industrial land available to attract new large scale industrial development. • The Tigard 2011 EOA found the supply of vacant industrial/employment lands could accommodate the 20-year needs of the efficient land growth scenario. • A recent study found that Tigard was a "hub for innovation."A study of patents and communities by the research firm iPiQ found that in 2005,Tigard had a high percentage of patents granted to individuals and small business (29). The study attributed this to Tigard's lower rents and taxes attracting professionals from Portland and Beaverton. Goal 9.1 Develop and maintain a strong, diversified, and sustainable local economy.

CPA 2011-00002 9 City of Tigard Comp Plan Goal 9 Planning Commission Hearing 14 '1 City of Tigard TIGARD Memorandum To: President Dave Walsh and Members of the Planning Commission From: Susan Hartnett,AICP Assistant Community Development Director Re: Commission 2011 Work Plan and Goal Setting Date: March 22, 2011 At the April 4, 2011 meeting, the Commission will establish its 2011 work plan and goals. The outcome of this work will be shared at a joint meeting with the City Council on May 17,2011. In preparation for this effort, I am providing material you may find helpful. Attached are: • Tigard Planning Commission Work Program Matrix,updated on March 1, 2011 • Community Development Department Work Plans addressing 2011 City Council Goals • 2011 City Council Goals Work Plan by City Department • 2011 City Council Goals The first two documents are probably most relevant to establishing the Commission's work plan and goals. The first is an update of the matrix developed last year at the Commission's request,which provides information about the project specific activities expected to come before the Commission over the next 12-18 months. The second contains detailed department work plans addressing the 2011 City Council Goals. These work plans were developed for the first time this year and provide another source of information. The third provides an overview of all City departments'responses to the 2011 City Council goals. President Walsh has expressed an interest in establishing some Commission goals related to the growth and development of the Commission members and the Commission as a body. The Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association has information on their website about training and other resources for Planning Commissions. You may find it helpful to consider some of the options listed at www.oregonapa.org/tools-commissioners. Finally,given that the City's budget runs on a fiscal year (July 1 to June 30), the Commission may want to consider shifting the period of time covered by the annual goals and work plan to coincide with the fiscal year. I look forward to your discussion and to continuing to implement,with the Commission's great assistance, an exciting and challenging planning program.

Show substantial progress on new Tigard Triangle Master Plan Description of Work Product: This project will be built on the foundation created by the Pacific Hwy/99W High Capacity Transit (HCT) Land Use Plan. It is envisioned that Tigard Triangle Master Plan will follow the HCT Land Use Plan process. It will also be informed by related planning efforts. It is possible that the a Master Plan can be completed four to five years in the future when there is more certainty about the type and location of HCT alignment and station areas. However,it is possible to establish the foundation of a Triangle Master and take both interim and incremental actions to support future decisions. Another important consideration is that implementation of a Triangle Master Plan is dependent on resolution of TPR constraints. Absent legislation changing the TPR and the provision of HCT, this will partly depend on completion of alternative mobility standards which will be done as part of the SW Corridor Plan. This task will start in 2011 and be completed in 2013. The following progress on a new Tigard Triangle Master Plan will occur in 2011: 1. City adoption of the Tigard Economic Opportunities Analysis (EOA)1 2. City adoption of Metro Town Center designation for the Tigard Triangle2 3. Proposed designations of High Capacity Transit (HCT) Station Community Areas within and in the vicinity of the Tigard Triangle3; 4. Non-HCT transportation improvements (alternative mobility standards) to support HCT Station Community Areas and other future development in the Tigard Triangle; 5. Recommendations for interim and long term land use designations4; 6. Development of a Tigard Triangle funding mechanism for street improvements such as an area specific System Development Charge (SDC). Following completion of the above, a draft written report will be prepared. Staff then will work with the Planning Commission to develop a more detailed Master Plan scope of work,process and schedule based on findings derived from the HCT Land Use Planning effort and other studies. A written report accompanied by the scope of work outlining the next steps will be prepared for Council's consideration. The EOA will provide important data pertaining to the Triangle and other employment lands in Tigard such as land use and site characteristics,public facilities transportation information and market context. 2 A Town Center designation for the Tigard Triangle is important because it portends a greater probability of transportation funding; bestows flexibility in the application of the Transportation Planning Rule(TPR),and supports findings for the application urban land uses.Metro has agreed that Tigard can include a large portion of the Tigard Triangle in its town Center Designation. Nevertheless,for this to be"official"the City needs to legislatively adopt Comprehensive Plan amendments to identify locations of the Metro Design Types. The exact location of Station Community Areas will not be known until the actual alignment of HCT is determined. However,it will be possible from a land use perspective to determine in general where station community land use types could be best located. This leads to the ability to propose a range of possible land use designations. 4 The Triangle HCT Land Use Plan leads the required Federal planning efforts for the corridor.The Alternatives Analysis (AA); Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA),and Locally Preferred Alignment(LPA)will determine the type and location of future transit. However,it is possible to propose interim land uses for the area. 1 2011 COUNCIL GOALS WORK PLAN Timeline of significant events Action/Event Timing Tigard Triangle Town Center designation (Council Adoption) Spring/Summer 2011 EOA Adoption by Council Spring/Summer 2011 Preliminary Designations of High Capacity Transit (HCT) Station Areas (Report) Fall/Winter 2011 Plan for other transportation improvements to support HCT Station Community Areas and other Tigard Triangle Development(Report) Fall/Winter 2011 Recommendations for interim and long term land use designations (Report) Fall/Winter 2011 Development of a Tigard Triangle funding mechanism for street improvements (Council Consideration) Fall/Winter 2011 Planning Commission scoping for full Master Plan Project(Report) to proceed in 20125 Winter 2011/Spring 2012 City Council Receipt of Planning Commission Scoping Recommendation and Report Summer 2012 Alternative Mobility Standards Spring 2013 Lead Department: Community Development Staff Lead: Ron Bunch, Community Development Director Partners: Internal Stakeholders External Stakeholders Planning Commission ODOT City Council Metro City Attorney Tri-Met City Admin&Other Depts.

Implementation Impacts of "Show Substantial Progress on New Tigard Triangle Master Plan" on other work programs To be meaningful,a Tigard Triangle Master Plan must be coordinated with the HCT Land Use Plan and other the Southwest Corridor Planning efforts. It cannot proceed by itself and be meaningful. At this time there are inadequate staff resources to focus solely on this project,and at least initially,it must be part of other efforts. If staff had to engage in a "stand-alone"project now(to develop a Tigard Triangle Land Use and Transportation Master Plan) other work programs and their schedules would be negatively affected. Furthermore, such an effort would be not be useful because future Alternative Mobility Standards,HCT Station Area locations,Alternatives Analysis,and Alignment HCT decisions are primary factors that must be considered.

Past efforts to reform the City's tree regulations did not succeed because of contention between the development community and citizens. Consequently,Community Development has invested a significant amount of citizen and community involvement/communication time into the project. Every effort is being made to work out issues before the proposed code amendments enter the public hearing process. Resources required: 2.0 FTE plus consulting assistance (This is in addition to required administrative and management staff time and staff processing land development applications, working on other Council Goals,Development Code Reform, Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review;Code Enforcement Restructuring Tigard Trails Master Plan) 5 2011 COUNCIL GOALS WORK PLAN Council Goal 1: Implement the Comprehensive Plan c. Participate in the Southwest Corridor Study Description of Work Product: There are several land use and transportation planning activities ongoing and planned in the Southwest Metro Area, defined as the area encompassing the Pacific Hwy/I-5 corridor from downtown Portland to south Tigard. Tigard,in partnership with Metro, ODOT and Tri-Met is engaged in a High Capacity Transit Land Use Plan that will identify up to ten future HCT Station Community Areas within the Tigard Pacific Hwy 99W/Corridor. Tigard's planning effort will be followed by similar projects undertaken by Portland and Tualatin, also in partnership with the above agencies. Also,Metro and ODOT will be coordinating another planning effort, the Interstate 5/Pacific Highway 99W Corridor Refinement Plan that will evaluate how traffic management and emphasis on different transportation modes,including HCT,will improve mobility within the Corridor. The Corridor Refinement Plan will result in alternative mobility standards that will provide some relief to the Transportation Planning Rule's (TPR) constraints. Several other federally required HCT focused planning efforts will be undertaken prior to when an HCT system will be built. These will occur in future years. The main task for Tigard staff in 2011 will be the Pacific Hwy 99W HCT Land Use Plan and to represent the City's interests in other Corridor Refinement planning efforts. This work program will focus on the Tigard HCT Land Use Plan, because it has been scoped and funded, but significant staff resources will also be focused on the broader corridor planning efforts as above. However, at this time the schedules and scopes of these projects not yet been established in detail. The work product of the Tigard HCT Land Use Plan will consist of designating up to 10 station areas along the Pacific Hwy 99W corridor in places that are best suited to support HCT. This will inform the future alignment of HCT and provide guidance in making future HCT supportive land use changes and investments in other types of transportation infrastructure. This project is the foundation for a detailed Tigard Triangle Master Plan to be completed in the future.

It is essential for the city to meet its commitments to its regional partners and to the funding agencies;with plans to commit at least 1.75 FTE to this effort prior to establishment of 2011 Council goals. CD cannot decrease its commitment to this project. If necessary,work on other department priorities, (Code Compliance Reorganization and Regulatory Reform)would be curtailed entirely to ensure this project is completed. Given the project's high profile,CD has invested substantial staff resources to ensure a robust citizen involvement effort for the project. As with any project involving significant stakeholder engagement and intergovernmental cooperation,there is exists a degree of uncertainty regarding schedules and outcomes. There are many stakeholder interests to be addressed and it is common for planning efforts of this scale to be delayed,or the scope to be broadened,to accommodate changing stakeholder needs. City Council and the City Manager have an important role in the SW Corridor Plan,providing input to state and regional decision-makers and to represent the City's interests in the political arena. Resources required: 1.75 FTE Total. 1.50 FTE for the HCT Land Use Plan with consulting assistance, 0.25 FTE to coordinate and represent Tigard's interest in other SW Corridor venues. (This is in addition to required administrative &management staff time spent working on Council Goals,Development Code Reform, Downtown Redevelopment, Comp Plan Periodic Review;Code Enforcement Restructuring Tigard Trails Master Plan.) 7 2011 COUNCIL GOALS WORK PLAN Council Goal 1: Implement Comprehensive Plan d. Work with state and regional partners to modify the (state) Transportation Planning Rule (TPR). Description of Work Product: There are three parts to this task and it's important that this issue be addressed in all three of these venues in a balanced manner. Over-reliance on one is not likely to achieve the desired results. 1. Represent Tigard's interests at regional and statewide venues,including the legislature. This work includes development of a joint position on amending the TPR with other elected City and County officials and agency staff and appointees such as Metro and LCDC. 2. Evaluate those parts of Tigard where new development will be impacted by the TPR. Develop a local strategy and be able to tell Tigard's story. 3. Work on existing initiatives that will lessen a portion of some of the requirements of the TPR. This includes developing specific ways to mitigate traffic impacts such as improvements to the local road system, and alternative travel modes; expanding the Town Center designation to include the Tigard Triangle8;representing Tigard's interest in the Pacific Hwy 99W/ I-5 Multi-Modal Corridor Refinement Plan (alternative mobility standards);implementing Southwest Corridor High Capacity Transit10, etc. Timeline of significant events: Action/Event I Timing 1 Evaluate how Tigard will be impacted by the TPR and prepare local strategy Winter/Spring 2011 Expand the Town Center designation to include the Tigard Triangle Spring 2011 Represent Tigard's interests at regional and statewide venues Winter to Fall 2011 Represent Tigard's interests during the Pacific Hwy 99W/I-5 Multi-Modal Corridor Refinement Plan Fall 2011 and throughout 2013 Implement Southwest Corridor High Capacity Transit Ongoing Lead Department: Community Development Staff Lead: Susan Hartnett,Asst. CD Director and Judith Gray, Sr. Transportation Planner 6 It is important to note that the Oregon Highway Plan (OHP)also has standards that impact land uses on properties that utilize state highways. The OHP also will be evaluated to determine how it impacts the Tigard Triangle and other areas in the City. It is obvious that Tigard is affected by the TPR,but it is unknown to what extent. It is important to develop a local strategy as well as participate in the regional and state process to change the TPR's requirements. Tigard as a local jurisdiction needs to be well aware the TPR's impacts and be able to speak to them. 8 Metro Town Center Design Type Designations are not subject to as stringent TPR requirements as areas not non-Design Type areas. 9 The purpose of this planning effort is to evaluate how improvements to all transportation modes in the corridor can increase enhance the capacity of the transportation system. More transportation system capacity gained through multi-modal improvements means a greater opportunity to create more dense urban environments conducive to higher levels of economic activity. 10In the long run High Capacity Transit(HCT)through Tigard would significantly increase road capacity by taking cars off the roads. HCT would provide the basis to develop higher intensity urban environments within the Tigard Triangle, Downtown Tigard,and with the Pacific Highway Corridor. 8 2011 COUNCIL GOALS WORK PLAN Partners: Internal Stakeholders External Stakeholders Planning Commission Other Metro area jurisdictions City Council Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) City Attorney League of Oregon Cities (LOC) Public Works/Engineering Metro City Administration Tri-Met Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee Residents,Business&Development Interests ODOT and the Oregon Transportation Commission State legislators Coordination With/Impacts on Other Projects/Priorities Projects / Priorities Reason for Coordination Impact Resolution of Tigard's concerns with the TPR would make it Triangle Master Plan The Transportation Planning Rule in its current easier for Tigard to achieve its Downtown Urban Renewal form would have significant negative impacts on the (and Metro's) urban growth future urban development of these areas. objectives Amendment of the TPR to make it possible to develop mixed use The current TPR promotes low density inefficient higher density urban development development and sprawl.

Work with partners on urbanization policy issues Description of Work Product: The Tigard Comprehensive Plan is specific that the City does not support unincorporated urban development. Consistent with this position Council has directed staff to implement the Comprehensive Plan as it pertains to future urbanization of lands within Metro Urban Growth Areas 63 and 64 and the adjacent urban reserve area. Washington County has completed, and approved by resolution an Urbanization Concept Plan for this area. A much more detailed Community Plan, addressing infrastructure financing;governance and land use is required before urbanization can occur. This is an expensive and staff intensive effort City staff has been working with Washington County and other partners to come to determine the governance and service provider for this area. It is expected that a resolution can come by the end of summer 2011. If Tigard is the governance provider, then it must plan to complete the Metro required planning work before urbanization can occur. Timeline of significant events: Action/Event Timing 1. Washington Co./Tigard Agreement on Means to Initiate Annexation of Lands in Summer 2011 Urban Growth Areas 63 and 64 If the above is accomplished,then (following direction from Council) the work plan will tbd be revised. The timeline for development of a Community Plan may extend into 2014.

At this time coordination with other projects is not necessary to achieve the above limited goals. Extensive coordination will be required in doing future work associated with the required Community Plan. However this will addressed if the City is successful in its annexation efforts. It is important to note that if Tigard is successful in annexing this area, the subsequent Community Plan work will occupy at least 2.5 FTE in addition to substantial consulting resources for a period of at least 18 months. Resources required: .2 FTE plus consulting assistance for part one of the above timeline of significant events.

Develop Strategy and Materials to Attract Developers and Tenants Description of Work Product: The strategy to attract developers and tenants to the downtown has two parts. They are: 1) continue to make improvements to the area's public infrastructure and physical amenities; and 2) promote development of a broad based downtown organization and retail marketing plan and market the Downtown to prospective investors and tenants. The first part of this goal has been ongoing for some time. It includes projects such as Burnham Street reconstruction;Main Street green street retrofit; facade grant program etc. Part two relates directly to Council's 2011 goal. The following actions will be taken to implement this goal: • Hold developers' forum11 to assess Downtown Redevelopment opportunities with stakeholders; • Develop socio-economic (statistically based) Downtown/Triangle marketing materials and broadly distribute them; • Prepare an assessment / inventory of land in the Downtown whose owners would reconsider redevelopment • Work with Downtown businesses,property owners and consultants to develop a retail marketing plan and Downtown Organization proposal12; • Develop a Downtown/promotion marketing web page; • Develop a strategy to inform a broad spectrum of developers and investors of the Downtown's and Tigard Triangle's redevelopment and market potential.13 • Work with property owners and developers on development opportunity studies to facilitate development Timeline of significant events: Action/Event Timing Hold developer's forum to assess Downtown Redevelopment opportunities Summer 2011 Retail marketing plan and Downtown Organization proposal Summer/Fall 2011 Develop socio-economic (statistically based) Town Center marketing materials Fall 2011 An assessment of land whose owners would consider redevelopment Fall 2011 Develop a Downtown/promotion marketing web page Winter 2011/2012 A strategy to inform a broad spectrum of developers and investors of the Downtown's Winter 2011/2012 redevelopment and market potential.

In order to assess where an urban renewal district is most feasible in the area,it is necessary to know where Station Area Communities are to be sited. Ideally, the alignment HCT should also be known. However, this will not be possible for the next few years;until several federally required studies are done. Therefore staff will address this goal by developing an urban renewal scenario based on information that is developed through the HCT land Use Plan. This work is intended to provide an understanding of the feasibility of an urban renewal district in the area including the best prospects of building tax increment revenues to help construct public facilities and take other actions to promote high quality urban development in the corridor. The work will provide the starting point to more comprehensively investigate urban renewal as information is developed in the future. The work product will be a written report to Council in association with the Draft Highway HCT land use plan. Council may or may not decide to give staff further direction at that time.

CITY OF TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION Meeting Minutes April 4, 2011 CALL TO ORDER President Walsh called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. The meeting was held in the Tigard Civic Center,Town Hall, at 13125 SW Hall Blvd. ROLL CALL Present: President Walsh Vice President Anderson Commissioner Doherty Commissioner Rogers Commissioner Shavey Absent: Commissioner Muldoon; Commissioner Hasman; Commissioner Ryan; Commissioner Schmidt Staff Present: Susan Hartnett, Assistant Community Development Director; Darren Wyss, Senior Planner; and Doreen Laughlin, Confidential Executive Assistant Also Present: City Council Liaison Marc Woodard COMMUNICATIONS—Commissioner Shavey reported he'd gone to a meeting on Tuesday night regarding downtown. He said it was a good meeting with 30 or 40 people there. He gave a brief overview of the agenda of that meeting. President Walsh spoke about the positive changes that he'd seen and experienced on Pacific Highway lately. He wanted to go on record that he would like to commend the excellent work of the Tigard staff—particularly Engineering and Public Works - on that project. He said the improvements are remarkable and that everyone who drives it is benefiting from it. The rest of the commissioners agreed and wanted to be included in commending staff on their fine work. CONSIDER MEETING MINUTES March 21 Meeting Minutes: President Walsh asked if there were any additions, deletions, or corrections to the March 21 minutes; there being none,Walsh declared the minutes approved as submitted. L\LRPLN\Planing Commission\2011PC Packets\0.0.11PH-EOM PC Goals and WkpinVITC Minutes 4411 doc Page 1 of 6 PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: (CPA) 2011-00002-TIGARD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO ADOPT THE TIGARD 2011 ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES ANALYSIS REQUEST: To adopt the Tigard 2011 Economic Opportunities Analysis as a component of Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 9: Economic Development; to amend the current Tigard Comprehensive Plan Goal 9: Economic Development goals, policies, and recommended action measures; and to amend Tigard Comprehensive Plan Glossary.The complete text of the proposed amendment can be viewed on the City's website at http://www.tigard-or.gov/code_ amendments, LOCATION: Citywide STAFF REPORT Darren Wyss, Senior Planner, went over the staff report (the staff report is available to the public one week before the hearing.) He then presented a PowerPoint presentation (Exhibit A). Wyss entered into the record a letter dated 4/4/11 (Exhibit B) in which ODOT had 4 issues. Wyss explained how the city had addressed, and is addressing, these issues: • Issue 1: Map Reference m Changes to map reference in Glossary (See replacement page 9 — (Exhibit C) which Wyss entered into the record. • Issue 2: Adoption requirements • ODOT does not feel we're following proper adoption requirements; however, we've been following Metro's guidance on this and have spoken to them. They said it was up to them (Metro) to determine whether we've appropriately adopted it into our Comprehensive Plan. We have been following Metro's guidelines so we believe we're doing the appropriate thing. It's up to Metro to make that decision—not ODOT. • Issue 3: Plan of Actions/Investments/Land Use Regulations • Issue 4: Need for Transportation Actions — spelled out in the Metro Functional Plan ▪ The City of Tigard is fully cognizant of the need to do these things but the adoption of the expanded Triangle boundaries through this glossary is just the first step towards setting the foundation—we're doing those actions as part of the Tigard Triangle planning process and also the High Capacity Land Use Planning process that is currently beginning at this point in time. We feel there is no issue moving forward with the amendment as proposed and if Metro decides that this wasn't the appropriate way to do it we'll address that in the future. I:\LRPLN\P]anning Commission\2©11 PC Packets\4.4.11 PH-HOA;PC Goats and.%'kphi\TPC Minutes 4411.doc Page 2 of 6 QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS So we'll just move forward being aware of this? Is that what you're saying? The purpose of this is to adopt the Economic Opportunity Analysis — so regardless of whether this definition adopts the expanded boundary into our Comprehensive Plan—it has no bearing as to whether or not the EOA is getting adopted. So the glossary can be changed at a future time —which would,in essence, change that boundary? Yes. Or if they required us to actually bring a map forward and adopt the map, then we could do that. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission finds this request to meet the necessary approval criteria and RECOMMENDS the Tigard City Council amends the Tigard Comprehensive Plan as determined through the public hearing process. TESTIMONY IN FAVOR - None TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION—None CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING At this point, President Walsh opened the meeting up for deliberations. DELIBERATIONS None MOTION The following motion was made by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Commissioner Shavey: "I move for approval and adoption of the findings and conditions of approval contained in the staff report of the 2011 Economic Opportunities Analysis that staff recommended for draft application CPA2011-00002- along with the replacement page 9 glossary." The motion was approved unanimously. At this point,Wyss explained that the next step would be to draft the transmittal memo and distribute it to the Planning Commission for their review. The resulting memo will be passed along to Council. He reminded them that Commissioner Shavey had volunteered to attend the Council hearing and say a few words in support. I:\LRPLN\Planning Commission\2011 PC Packet/\44-11 PH-EOA;PC Goals and Wkpin\TPC Minutes 44-11 doc Page 3 of 6 WORK SESSION—PLANNING COMMISSION GOALS AND WORKPLAN Susan Hartnett,Assistant Community Development Director, updated the commissioners on the PC Matrix which was the tool developed for the Planning Commission last year. The primary purpose of that Matrix is to give the Commissioners an idea of when important projects will be coming before them and in what type of situation,workshop versus public hearing - that kind of thing. There was a lengthy discussion on the Planning Commissioners ideas for their 2011 goals and work plan. Hartnett summed up the discus sion at the end and reviewed the main points below: • Intercity/interregional outreach and better understanding agendas for adjoining cities and regional organizations —and perhaps attending some meetings. Hartnett will figure out how to frame that as a goal statement. • Technical growth/education/knowledge expansion... a goal related to that. She has a list of about five different topic areas but will probably make a statement about trying to incorporate maybe one major event a year and a couple of minor events. The thinking being Sheila Martin's discussion on Economic Development as being a fairly major event. Judith Gray's presentation on [PR would be considered a "minor" event. That's kind of the scale in terms of what would be put into a goal statement. • Not only will there be goal statements but also "goal objectives." Hartnett believes it's helpful to have an objective by which you can measure your progress. So if we say we want to do some educational activities and say— one major and three minor events —we can check them off as we do them. The idea is to have them be measureable. • The last two have to do with supporting the broader city goals — some of which are found in the Council goals and some of which are found in the Planning Commission's charge as a hearing body and a decision making body on quasi-judicial items. • Some sort of measurable objective on the Tigard Triangle. The Commission agreed that was a good synopsis of the ideas that had been brought forward. At this point Hartnett reminded the Commissioners that there is a joint Planning Commission /Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 17th. It would be their annual opportunity to get together with Council and talk about the Planning Commission's goals... the Council goals... what's happening—what's working and what's not- that kind of thing. President Walsh asked the Planning Commission Secretary that, if at all possible, some time could be budgeted during the May 2nd Planning Commission meeting to get their heads together about this - basically a short period of time to plan for that upcoming joint meeting. I:\LRPLN\Plate Commission\2011 PC PacketA4-4-11 PH-GOA;PC Goals and Wkpin\TPC atnutes 44-11 doc Page 4 of 6 Laughlin advised them that two hours was already scheduled for that evening but that they could put aside some time in there to have that discussion. The question was asked if there will be a May 16th Planning Commission meeting. Laughlin answered that yes, there is a public hearing and a workshop as well scheduled for that night - so the Commissioners will have two meetings in a row that week. Monday, the 16th, is the regular Planning Commission meeting and Tuesday the 17th, is the joint PC/Council meeting. She said she tried to make it so that the 16th was a free night for the commissioners but, due to the public hearing, that couldn't be done. HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT (HCT) / TIGARD TRIANGLE Hartnett took some time to talk about the High Capacity Transit / Tigard Triangle activities. She reminded the commissioners that last year she had promised that staff would put together some sort of Tigard Triangle Visioning exercise—and that she wanted to see it happen in conjunction with the HCT Land Use Plan. She said getting going on that plan got delayed quite a long time outside of their control —however, it is up and running now. Some of the main timelines she spoke about are below: • A Design Workshop is scheduled for May 25th to talk about the full range of typologies—what would a neighborhood, downtown, office oriented area, Hwy 99 redevelopment type of thing - look like—what would the characteristics be? • Consultants and the HCT Team will come to the Planning Commission's regularly scheduled meeting on June 6th. It will be a workshop style of setting. The commissioners will not be behind the dais but everyone will sit around a large table, and the consultants and HCT team will walk them through the typologies they've come up with. Are there fatal flaws? They will zero in on typologies that might apply to the Tigard Triangle. • After the workshop, the consultants will develop an alternatives technical memo saying if you have this typology and this location—how will they function? • After the memo - sometime in July, there will be a 4 to 6 hour event scheduled for a visioning exercise regarding the typologies. OTHER BUSINESS Susan Hartnett announced to the commissioners that the Planning Commission Secretary, Doreen Laughlin, had been promoted to the position of Confidential Executive Assistant for the Community Development Department. She will be working directly for CD Director, Ron Bunch. At Doreen's request, she will continue to support the Planning Commission as long as she is able to handle it along with her other work. If/when the economy (and development) picks up to the point of being very busy again, she may need to pass the PC support baton along to the new (yet to be hired) Senior Administrative Assistant. But for IALIIPLN\Planning Commissioo\2011 PC Packets 4-4-11 PH-eon;PC Goals and Wkpm\TPC Minutes 4-4-114°c Page 5 of 6 now, she plans to continue with the group.

FAX (503)731.8531 April 4, 2011 EXHIBIT B City of Tigard Planning Commission City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd Tigard, OR 97223 SUBJECT: CPA 2011-00002 The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has reviewed the proposed language adopting the Tigard 2011 Economic Opportunities Analysis and amending the Comprehensive Plan Glossary.We understand that it is the City's intent to amend the Tigard Town Center boundary to.include the Tigard Triangle area(defined in the CP Glossary as the area of Tigard bounded by Pacific Hwy OR 99W, 1-5, and OR 217), but this is not clear from the package provided to the Planning Commission for its April 4, 2011 meeting. No map has been provided showing revised Town Center boundaries and there is no description of a proposed action adopting or amending the Town Center boundary or other 2040 design type boundaries. Issue 1: The proposed Glossary definitions reference incorrect map boundaries The proposed Glossary definitions reference boundaries"defined on the Metro 2040 Growth Concept Plan". However, the Metro 2040 Growth Concept Plan Map only depicts general locations of 2040 Centers. The Planning Commission and City Council should be aware that Metro does not adopt or designate specific 2040 Growth Concept Center boundaries, but depicts locally adopted boundaries on the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan (UGMFP) Title 6 Centers, Corridors, Station Communities, and Main Streets Map, as well as in its State of the Centers Report and other publications. Issue 2: The City of Tigard did not follow requirements set forth in UGMFP Title 6, section 3.07.620.B.4, and did not provide notice to ODOT of a proposed boundary action While the City's intended Town Center boundary is currently shown on the Centers, Corridors, Station Communities, and Main Streets Map, that boundary is not based on adoption by City Council following notice to ODOT, and therefore is not valid in our opinion. The UGMFP Title 6, section 3,07.620.B.4 specifically requires that"Center boundaries be adopted and may be revised by the City Council... following notice of the proposed boundary action,,to the Oregon Department of Transportation and Metro in the manner set forth in subsection A of section 3.07.820 of this chapter". The City's request to Metro in December of 2010 to show the Tigard Triangle area as part of the Town Center did not follow this process as there was no City Council adoption and no notice was provided to ODOT. The proposed adoption at this time of amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Glossary- referencing a different Metro map-does not constitute adoption by City Council of a proposed boundary action. Issue 3: The proposal lacks a Plan of Actions and Investments and land use regulations for the Town Center area, per Section 3.07 It is not clear what the City's intent is in revising its Town Center boundaries to include the Tigard Triangle. If the City wishes to be eligible for regional investments, lower mobility standards, and lower trip generation rates, as set forth in the UGMFP Title 6, the Planning Commission and City Council should be made aware that adoptionnfTownCenberboundaden |snctsuffioienthogain such eligibility. In addition to adoption of a Center boundary, Section 3.07.620 requires performance of an Assessment and adoption of a Plan of Actions and Investments to enhance the Center in order to be eligible for regional investments. In addition to adoption of a boVDdery. Section 3,07.630.A requires adoption of land use regulations to allow the mix and intensity of uses specified in subsection B of section 3.07'020 of the UGMFP ird be |i | apply Table 7 of the Oregon Highway Plan (OHP). Table 7 designates Pacific Highway 99W in Tigard (from I- 5 to Tualatin Road) as an Area of Special Concern with a V/C standard of.95, so the Town Center V/C standards of 1,1 and .99 do not apply to OR 99W. It is the intent of ODOT, Metro, and the City of Tigard . _imobilitystandards along OR 99W as part of the Southwest Corridor Transportation Refinement Plan, which would replace both the Area of Special Concern and the Town Center V/C standards, Alternative mobility standards will be designed to allow adoption of higher densities and intensities of land uses supportive of High Capacity Transit in the corridor. ODOT is supporting this effort through its TGM grants for the Tigard HCT Land Use Plan and the SW Corridor Refinement Plan, as well as with significant additional resources. Issue 4: The proposal lacks transportation actions to support the reduced trip generation rate assumptions for a Town Center. Finally, section 3.87.630 B applies to eligibility for trip reduction credits as part of Plan Amendments subject to the Transportation Planning rule (TPR) section -0000. In addition to adopting boundaries and land use re | U to allow the i ho mix andintensity of land uses, the City must adot a number of transportation actions that support the reduced trip generation rate assumptions, including local and arterial street design and oonneoUvity, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, TSM and TDM, and a parking management program. Summary In summary, the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment does not constitute adoption of Center boundaries. More importantly, the City will need to adopt land use and transportation provisions in addition to Center boundaries in order to be eligible for regional investments, lower mobility standards, and lower trip generation rates. ODOT is supportive of the City's vision for its future and looks forward to continuing to work with the City on these critical additional steps. 0 / Lidwien Rahman Principal Planner Oregon Department of Transportation €, { f V Vyt ( 'i • Glossary EXHIBIT Metro-desi'hated Em:•lo. meat Area—a Metro desi• - •e whose bounda is defined on the Metro Title 4 Industrial and Other Emilio ment Areas Ma• that mixes various •es of employment and some residential development,with limited retail commercial uses primarily to serve the needs of people working or living in the immediate area.
