has four interrelated deliverables: an equitable development strategy, an urban renewal finance plan,a
property redevelopment study, and an infrastructure investment plan. These deliverables are intended to

Recommendations for 2017 TCAC Annual Report
Recommendations for Town Center Development Agency Consideration
Background
The Town Center Advisory Commission (ICAC)is charged with advising the Town Center
Development Agency (ICDA) on policy and projects related to the City Center Urban Renewal Plan
and the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan. Prior to September 5, 2017, the commission was known
as the City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC), and for the majority of 2017 the group's advisory
capacity was limited to the City Center Urban Renewal area. The commission is charged with producing
an annual report and recommendations for the TCDA's consideration.
The commission adopted a goal to develop policy and project recommendations related to walking and
parking to support the city's Strategic Plan and the City Center Urban Renewal Plan at the beginning of
2017. The intent was to gain general knowledge about walking and parking in downtown retail districts
and information related to current walking and parking conditions in Downtown Tigard.The research
conducted on walking and parking allowed the commission to develop a shared group understanding of
the Downtown walking environment and potential for improvements.
Findings
Walkable downtowns provide a variety of destinations that attract users throughout the day and into
the night.A number of possible responses to enhance walkability were identified in the research
process and commissioners were encouraged to see that the city has already adopted many commonly
recommended policies, such as initiating a Safe Routes to Schools program, changing regulations to
increase street connectivity, adopting pedestrian-friendly design standards, and managing public
parking.
One important lesson from the commission's research is that destination, activities, and events bring
people downtown. So although parking serves an important function,it is a supportive function-not a
reason to come Downtown. Ultimately, Downtown Tigard will be a successful walking neighborhood
when there are a wide variety of destinations that are comfortable and safe for people of all ages and
abilities to reach by foot.
2017 Recommendations
The Commission developed the following recommendations to ensure continued investments and
support for the Main Street revitalization currently underway,with an emphasis on actions that support
walking access into Downtown and encourage walking within the area. Recommendations are intended
to be achievable in the short-term and support existing policy adopted in the city-wide Strategic Plan,
the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan and the City Center Urban Renewal Plan.
• Prioritize lighting for trails that lead into Downtown and identified segments of the Fanno
Creek Trail within Downtown
• Ensure sufficient visitor parking is available through the implementation of Phase 2 and 3 of
the Downtown public parking management plan,including management of employee parking
• Proactively seek opportunities to acquire and consolidate land over the next two years for
public spaces and to ensure a range of housing options is available to Tigard residents and
families of all income levels
• Continue funding of the urban renewal improvements grant program at a level of$50,000-
$100,000 a year for each district
