5. WORKSHOP ON IMPLEMENTATION OF TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN
Associate Planner Julia Hajduk provided explanation and details on the proposed
changes to the Development Code that are necessary to implement the
Transportation System Plan (TSP) adopted in January 2001. See Memorandum
to Planning Commission members from Ms. Hajduk dated May 23, 2002.
Discussion items:
➢ City's authority to require sidewalks on private streets — Any development
must comply with City standards, which include requirements for street width
and sidewalks. Requirements for sidewalks have to do with access and
pedestrian circulation, which ties back to the Transportation Planning Rule
and Metro requirements.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES — June 3, 2002 — Page 1
➢ Bike lanes on arterials and collectors — requirements based on Transportation
Planning Rule and Regional Transportation Plan. There is a proposal to
change this in the Washington County plan.
➢ Staff will report back to the Commission on whether or not the Regional
Transportation Plan F standard for arterials was adopted as part of the TSP.
It is unlikely the Tigard TSP will require more than the Regional
Transportation Plan.
➢ Staff will request Planning Commission recommendation to City Council for
landscape strips with setback sidewalks, except under circumstances set
forth in Code Section 18.810 for curb-tight sidewalks. Exceptions can also be
determined by the Commission and PUD in specific situations. Appropriate
improvements, such as trees and sprinkler systems, as well as maintenance
of sidewalk landscape strips, are issues of concern and should be considered
as part of any recommendation to City Council. If sidewalk landscape strips
are not required, it is unlikely that they would be included in any new
development because it allows for less right-of-way. There are pros and cons
to the issue. One component in the street utility fee proposal is a right of way
maintenance fee to provide for City maintenance of the strips. The majority of
the Commission objected to requiring landscape strips.
➢ Skinny streets — there are two standards due to DLCD/TPR requirements for
28-foot minimum standard; normal standard is for 32-foot street width.
Specific standards for "skinny streets" require approval of a queuing plan (i.e.,
location/staggering of driveways), traffic of less than 1,000 trips per day, only
available for single-family detached homes, etc. Sidewalk landscape strips
discussed above will also be required. Although skinny streets are
predominantly in residential areas, parking in areas adjacent to commercial
development may become an issue to be considered. Parking, bus routes,
and emergency vehicle access were also discussed.
