Japanese International Baptist Church—Plan Review Response Letter
Permit#:BUP2015-00112
Dear Dan,
In response to the plan review comments letter dated June 25, 2015, we are providing the following
information:
1) The second floor will be built in separate future phase which will require obtaining separate
building permits. It is unknown, at this time,when this phase will be built.
2) As discussed with the Building Official, the second floor area is under 3,000 square feet and the
building is an accessory structure to the church and is not considered a church. The 2014 OSSC
Chapter 1104.5 Exception #2 states an elevator need not be provided in buildings and spaces
listed in ORS 447.247(1)(b), which are exempt from the accessible route provisions of Section
1104.4. Section 1104.4 Exception #1 states stories under 3000 square feet are not required an
accessible route to connect the stories. Access to the Mechanical Room has been revised to
exclude this area from the second floor.
A Fire Wall is not required to separate the ground floor between the gymnasium and the
classrooms. A Fire Barrier is required to separate the A-3 gymnasium from the two story E
Classrooms to create two separate fire areas without the need for Fire Sprinklers. Details for the
Fire Barrier have been added, see details A4, B4 and C4 on sheet A9.10.
3) The fire partition on the south side of the north stairway is to be one hour construction as detailed
on assembly 1 sheet G0.40, based on the Gypsum Association#WP1070. Details for this wall have
been added, see details A5, B5 and C5 on sheet A9.10.
4) Please see attached Alternate Materials Construction Form attached. An alternate method is
• proposed using Fire-retardant plywood with a Class A ceiling and thermal insulation.
5) Plumbing Facility calculations have been revised to show fixture compliance with the first phase.
The fixture ratio's have been added to show how the totals required are achieved.
6) Site permit application comments have been submitted in a separate submittal.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Construction Type II-B EXPIRES:12181115
Code Issues: 1) Fire-retardant treated wood flooring; 2) Fire wall separation.
Code Issue 1):The Architectural plans show the use of structural concrete floor panels in detail FC1 on
G0.40 for the floor/ceiling assembly between the first and second floors. Client wishes to use 1-1/8"
fire-retardant treated plywood for the second floor decking as shown on the structural plans in the non-
rated floor/ceiling assembly between the first and second floor of the Sunday school classroom area
with the intent of providing a more stable flooring system. The floor/ceiling assembly over the corridors
is rated with layers of gypsum below the steel bar joists.
Code Issue 2):Architectural plans show a 2-hour fire barrier at Grid line C between the gymnasium
(Group A-3)and the religious classroom area (Group E). The building department has suggested a 2-
hour occupancy separation. An occupancy separation also serves as a fire barrier, but not necessarily as
a fire wall. OSSC Table 508.4 does not require separation between Group A and Group E occupancies,
but the fire barrier may be installed for horizontal exit purposes.
RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON FOLLOWING ANALYSIS (see analysis discussion):
Code issue 1):The Hoover Pyro-Guard® 1-1/8 in fire-retardant-treated plywood, as submitted, should be
accepted as the flooring material attached directly to the top of the steel bar joists under the conditions
that:A)the first floor finished ceilings are either tile(T-bar)with a minimum Class A fire rating in lieu of
the code minimum Class B, or gypsum,as shown on the drawings,and B)a minimum of 8 inches of
insulation is installed directly below the attached plywood flooring.
Code Issue 2):The wall separating the gymnasium from the religious classroom portion of the structure
can be constructed as a 2-hour fire barrier,complying with OSSC Table 707.3.10 and OSSC 1025 for
horizontal exist, provided the second floor is not occupied or used so as to require an elevator for
compliance with access provisions of the code. When it becomes necessary to use the second floor,the
2-hour fire barrier may be remodeled to provide a 2-hour fire wall in accordance with OSSC 706.1 to
provide separate buildings for code purposes and maintain the area of each separate building less than
that which would require an elevator for access, or an elevator may be provided if desirable to the
owner.

ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION of CODE ISSUE 1, FR-TREATED PLYWOOD:
OSSC Section 602.2 requires noncombustible materials in Type I and Type II construction except as
permitted in Section 603 and elsewhere in the code. Section 603.1 allows fire-retardant-treated wood
in nonbearing partitions of 2 hours or less, nonbearing exterior walls where fire-resistance is not
required, and roof construction including girders,framing,and decking. OSSC Section 602.3,Type III
construction, allows wood framing of fire-retardant-treated wood in exterior wall assemblies of 2-hours
or less when the wood framing complies with OSSC Section 2303.2. OSSC 2303.2, Fire-retardant-treated
wood, provides for the required pressure treating process,applicable standards, listed flame spread
index,and labeling. OSSC 2303.2.7 provides for additional requirements for interior fire-retardant-
treated wood.
OSSC Chapter 8 addresses interior finishes and Section 805 specifically addresses combustible materials
in Type I and II construction. OSSC 805.1.2 allows wood finish flooring when attached directly to the top
surface of a fire-resistance-rated floor assembly or directly to a wood subfloor. Such wood flooring is
not required to be fire-retardant-treated.
The ICC-ES Evaluation Report(ESR-1791)for the Hoover Treated Wood Products, Inc. Pyro-Guard® FR-
treated plywood shows that the flame"Shows no evidence of significant progressive combustion when
the test is continued for an additional 20-minute period. Additionally the flame front does not progress
more than 10-1/2 feet (3200 mm) beyond the centerline of the burners at any time during the test."
For the FR treated plywood to be considered acceptable, a combination of factors must be present so
that the FR treated plywood will behave in a similar manner to that of a noncombustible material for a
sufficient period of time. Consider a fire in the space below the floor assembly. The heat release rate
(HRR) of any fire is the most important factor. A fire in a mercantile occupancy will have an approximate
HRR of 5000 Btu/sec or about 5275 kW. This is approximately equivalent to the fire loading for
occupancies designated in NFPA 13,Standard for the Installation of Automatic Sprinkler Systems as an
Ordinary Hazard (OH)occupancy having fires with moderate HRR. The religious classroom area and
rooms would be considered by NFPA 13 as Light Hazard (LH)occupancies because they have a lower fire
loading and because fires of low HRR would be expected.
Initially a fire with a LH heat release rate would have a larger convective portion of the heat transferred
to the ceiling. As a fire grows, if sufficient fuel is present, eventually flashover occurs. In a few minutes,
a peak HRR will be reached at flashover where the radiation to the room would be approximately 20
kW/m2. Design fires for atrium smoke protection are recommended by NFPA standards to use a value
of 10kW/m2 for piloted ignition of adjacent objects,and flashover will ignite most objects in the room.
Smoke would collect at the ceiling and flow downward. As the fire progresses,smoke begins to fill the
space,slowing combustion due to decreased oxygen. Consumed fuel will no longer contribute to
increased fire growth. Smoke will reflect radiative heat back toward the fire and the fire will quickly
reach a steady state, below the peak HRR.
The minimum flux for ignition of plywood has been reported at 15.1 kW/m2 for 11-12 mm (^'in)for
Douglas fir and Southern pine plywood (Janssens). A critical flux, below which ignition will not occur has

also been reported by the same researcher as 24 kW/m2 for FR treated plywood. The use of either Class
A ceiling tiles (usually composed of mineral fiber,gypsum,or a combination)or of gypsum ceilings and a
minimum of 10 inches of insulation in a layer directly below the FR treated plywood (Rated ceiling tiles
have a typical 10-12 minute finish rating in UL 1-hour floor/ceiling assemblies)will shield the plywood
for a sufficient time for the HRR to slow from a peak value to a steady state expected in Light Hazard
occupancies. Hence,the thermally thick 1-1/8 inch FR treated plywood will behave in a similar manner
to a noncombustible material after the HRR rate for an expected fire in this occupancy is shielded during
peak HRR times and then slows to a steady-state HRR.

INTRODUCTION
The Architectural plans show the use of structural concrete floor panels in detail FC1 on G0.40 for the
floor/ceiling assembly between the first and second floors. Client wishes to use 1-1/8"fire-retardant

intent of providing a more stable flooring system. The floor/ceiling assembly over the corridors is rated
with layers of gypsum below the steel bar joists.
RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON FOLLOWING ANALYSIS (see analysis discussion):
• The Hoover Pyro-Guard® 1-1/8 in fire-retardant-treated plywood, as submitted, should be accepted as
the flooring material attached directly to the top of the steel bar joists under the conditions that:A)the
first floor finished ceilings are either tile (T-bar) with a minimum Class A fire rating in lieu of the code
minimum Class B, or gypsum, as shown on the drawings, and B)a minimum of 8 inches of insulation is

ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION of CODE ISSUE, FR-TREATED PLYWOOD:
OSSC Section 602.2 requires noncombustible materials in Type I and Type II construction except as
permitted in Section 603 and elsewhere in the code. Section 603.1 allows fire-retardant-treated wood
in nonbearing partitions of 2 hours or less, nonbearing exterior walls where fire-resistance is not

minimum of 10 inches of insulation in a layer directly below the FR treated plywood (Rated ceiling tiles
have a typical 10-12 minute finish rating in UL 1-hour floor/ceiling assemblies)will shield the plywood
for a sufficient time for the HRR to slow from a peak value to a steady state expected in Light Hazard
occupancies. Hence, the thermally thick 1-1/8 inch FR treated plywood will behave in a similar manner
to a noncombustible material after the HRR rate for an expected fire in this occupancy is shielded during
peak HRR times and then slows to a steady-state HRR.

ASTM E 136,Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750°C.
The stated significance and use in ASTM E 136 is to assist in indicating those materials which do
not act to aid combustion or add appreciable heat to an ambient fire. ASTM E 136, also states
"4.2 Materials passing this test are permitted limited flaming and other indications of
combustion." The test uses four specimens at room temperature, each measuring 38 by 38 by

provides an airflow of 3 m/min [10 ft./min] ± 20%past a specimen loaded into the furnace.
After up to 30 minutes of testing, materials are reported as passing this test if at least three of
the four specimens either have a weight loss of 50%or less, do not have a temperature rise of
more than 30°C[54° F] above the stabilized temperature measured prior to the test and have
no flaming after the first 30 seconds or, if the weight loss exceeds 50%, surface and interior
temperatures do not rise above the stabilized temperature measured prior to the test and have
no flaming at any time during the test. Specimens do not have to meet the same conditions for
passing.
ASTM E 84,Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials.
The ASTM E 84 standard is intended to provide a comparison of surface flames spread and
smoke density measurements with that of select grade red oak and fiber-cement board surfaces
under specific fire conditions. The test exposes an approximately 24 ft. long x 20-24 inch wide
specimen to an approximate 5000 Btu/minute (5.3 MJ/min)gas flame for ten minutes, or about
87.9 kW during the test.

Regarding an application by the Japanese International ) F I N A L O R D E R
Baptist Church for approval of a Conditional Use Permit ) CUP 2014-00003
to construct an accessory building on a 106-acre parcel ) (Japanese International
at 8500 SW Spruce Street, in the City of Tigard, Oregon ) Baptist Church)
A. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. The applicant,Japanese International Baptist Church, requests approval of a
Conditional Use Permit to construct a 7,000 square foot accessory building on a 3.06-acre
parcel located at 8500 SW Spruce Street; also known as Washington County tax map
1 S 136CB, Lot 04400 (the"site"). The site contains the existing Japanese International
Baptist Church and associated parking lot on the eastern portion and and two single-
family residences and accessory structures on the western portion. The applicant will
remove the residences and accessory structures to accommodate the proposed
development. The proposed accessory building will house a classrooms and a half-court
gymnasium that will serve the existing church. The northwest corner of the site is zoned
R-25 (medium high-density residential district, 25 units per acre). The remainder of the
site and abutting properties to the east, west and south are zoned R-12 (medium-density
residential district, 12 units per acre). The property abutting the southeast corner of the
site is zoned PR (Parks and Recreation). Properties to the north are in unincorporated
Washington County. Additional basic facts about the site and surrounding land and
applicable approval standards are provided in the Staff Report to the Hearings Officer
dated December 15, 2014 (the "Staff Report"), incorporated herein by reference.
2. Tigard Hearings Officer Joe Turner (the"hearings officer") held a duly noticed
public hearing on December 22, 2014 to receive and consider public testimony in this
matter. All exhibits and records of testimony are filed with the Tigard Department of
Community Development. At the beginning of the hearing, the hearings officer made the
declaration required by ORS 197.763. The hearings officer disclaimed any ex parte
contacts, bias or conflicts of interest. The following is a summary by the hearings officer
of selected relevant testimony offered at the hearing.
3. Tigard Hearings Officer Joe Turner (the"hearings officer") conducted a duly
noticed public hearing to receive testimony and evidence in this matter. At the public
hearing, City staff recommended approval of the application, subject to conditions of
approval in the Staff Report. Representatives of the applicant testified in support of the
application. Two persons testified orally and one person testified in writing with
questions about the application. One person testified in writing in support of the
application. Disputed issues in this case include:
a. Whether the proposed development will cause or exacerbate flooding on
adjacent properties;
b. Whether the proposed development will cause excessive noise impacts;
c. Whether lighting on the site will cast glare on adjacent properties;
d. Whether the proposed development will cause excessive parking
impacts on the surrounding neighborhood;
e. Whether the proposed development will encourage graffiti; and
f. Whether the applicant can and will maintain vegetation the site in
compliance with City Codes.
4. Based on the findings and discussion provided or incorporated in this final
order, the hearings officer concludes that the applicant sustained the burden of proof that
the proposed development does or will comply with the applicable criteria of the
Community Development Code, provided development that occurs after this decision
complies with applicable local, state, and federal laws and with conditions of approval
warranted to ensure such compliance occurs in fact. Therefore the application should be
approved subject to such conditions.
B. HEARING AND RECORD
1. The hearings officer received testimony at the public hearing about this
application on December 22, 2014. All exhibits and records of testimony are filed with
the Tigard Department of Community Development. At the beginning of the hearing, the
hearings officer made the declaration required by ORS 197.763. The hearings officer
disclaimed any ex parte contacts, bias or conflicts of interest. The following is a summary
by the hearings officer of selected testimony offered at the public hearing in this matter.
2. City planner Gary Pagenstacher summarized the Staff Report and the proposed
development.
a. He noted that the proposed building is subject to the setback
requirements for conditional uses, which require 25-foot front and 20-foot side yard
setbacks. The applicable zoning districts require 15-foot to 20-foot front and 1 0-foot to
15-foot side yard setbacks, depending on whether single- or multi-family dwellings are
proposed.
b. The Code does not require buffers along the boundaries of the site.
However the applicant proposed to provide a landscaped buffer between the proposed
building and the adjacent single-family residence west of the site.
CUP 2014-00003 Hearings Officer Final Order
(Japanese International Baptist Church) Page 2
c. The proposed development will have no impact on the Significant
Natural Resource area south of the site.
3. Tony Weller and Kenji Yokoi testified for the applicant.
a. Mr. Weller testified that the applicant will remove the existing single-
family residences and garage on the site to accommodate the proposed accessory
building. The applicant will replace the existing driveway serving the residence with curb
and sidewalk and construct new half-width street improvements along the site's frontage
on SW Spruce Street. The applicant will construct an ADA ramp to facilitate access
between the proposed accessory building and the existing church. The applicant will plant
additional trees within the existing church parking lot as required by the City's urban
forestry standards. No other changes are proposed to the existing parking lot and
driveway. The applicant will collect stormwater runoff from all new impervious surfaces
on the site and convey it to an on-site stormwater pond for treatment and detention. The
applicant will discharge treated stormwater into the vegetated corridor on the south end of
the site at less than predevelopment rates.
i. The site slopes downhill to the south. Therefore stormwater
runoff from the site flows onto adjacent properties under existing conditions. The
proposed development will intercept some of that runoff and divert it to the stormwater
pond and then into the vegetated corridor, potentially reducing the amount of stormwater
flowing onto adjacent properties.
ii. The applicant will design, install and shield outdoor lights on
the site to limit offsite glare. The majority of outdoor lighting will be on the north and
east faces of the building. No new parking lot lights are proposed. One light is proposed
above the door to the gymnasium on the west wall of the building.
iii. The proposed building is located and designed to limit offsite
impacts. Windows in the gymnasium portion are located near the roof and the building is
fully enclosed. The applicant will plant a variety of trees, shrubs and groundcovers
between the west wall of the proposed building and the boundary of the site to screen and
buffer the structure from adjacent residential properties. The stormwater pond will also be
heavily landscaped. The proposed building will be setback 20 feet from the western
boundary of the site.
b. Mr. Yokoi testified that the church wants to have a positive impact on
the community. The proposed building will be setback from adjacent properties and the
setback areas will be landscaped to buffer adjacent properties. The accessory building
will primarily be used during the daytime. He agreed to a condition of approval
prohibiting use of the gymnasium between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. in order to limit
potential noise impacts. The church will work with neighbors to mitigate any unforeseen
CUP 2011-00003 Hearings Officer Final Order
(Japanese International Baptist Church) Page 3
impacts that may occur. The church plans to replace the existing fence between the site
and the Mimnaughs' property.
4. Eric Nichols testified that water appears to accumulate in the crawispace below
his house under existing conditions. He expressed concerns that the proposed stormwater
pond will exacerbate this problem.
5. Jeff Mimnaugh questioned who will be responsible if the proposed stormwater
facility fails and causes flooding on adjacent properties. He expressed concerns with
potential lighting and noise impacts on adjacent properties.
6. The hearings officer closed the record at the end of the hearing and announced
his intention to approve the application subject to conditions.
C. DISCUSSION
1. City staff recommended that the hearings officer approve the application, based
on the affirmative findings and subject to conditions of approval in the Staff Report. The
applicant accepted those findings and conditions without exceptions. The hearings officer
adopts the findings and conclusions in the Staff Report as his own except to the extent
they are inconsistent with the findings and discussion in this final order.
2. Concerns were expressed with existing runoff and stormwater ponding
problems in the area. The applicant is not required to remedy all existing and perceived
problems. The Code only prohibits the applicant from making things worse. However the
hearings officer finds that the proposed development will not increase the overall volume
of runoff flowing onto adjacent properties. To the contrary, the proposed development is
likely to reduce the overall volume of stormwater runoff flowing onto adjacent properties.
As Mr. Weller testified, stormwater falling on this site flows downhill to the south, onto
the adjoining properties, under existing conditions. The proposed development will
intercept some of that existing runoff and convey it to a stormwater facility south of the
proposed building for treatment and detention. The applicant will discharge the treated
stormwater to the wetlands on the south end of the site. The proposed stormwater
facilities will capture some portion of the runoff that would otherwise flow onto adjacent
properties and divert it to the stormwater facility, reducing the total area of the site that
drains towards adjacent properties. The stormwater facility is unlikely to fail. A
professional engineer will design the facility considering the expected volume of runoff
from the site, the soil types on the site, and other factors. City engineering staff will
review the design to ensure it complies with accepted requirements for such facilities.
3. The hearings officer finds that the proposed development will not cause
excessive noise impacts on adjacent properties. The majority of activities on the site will
occur within the fully enclosed building. The building will be setback 25 feet or more
from abutting properties. The applicant will provide dense landscaping between the
CUP 20/4-00003 Hearings Officer Final Order
(Japanese International Baptist Church) Page 4
building and abutting residential properties to the west. In addition, activities on the site
are subject to the noise limits of section 6.02.430.A Tigard Municipal Code (the"TMC"),
which provides the following limitations on noise:
a. Noise, measured at the boundary of residential properties, in excess of
40 dB at any time between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. the following day;
b. Noise, measured at the boundary of residential properties, in excess of
50 dB at any time between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. the following day;
c.Noise that is plainly audible at any time between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. the
following day within a noise-sensitive unit which is not the source of sound; and
d. Noise that is unnecessarily loud within a noise- sensitive unit which is
not the source of the sound.
Activities on the site are subject to these noise limitations. The applicant agreed to
prohibit use of the gymnasium between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. the following day. A condition
of approval is warranted to that effect.
4. The hearings officer finds that lighting on the site will not impact adjacent
properties. Section 18.725.030.E of the Tigard Development Code (the "TDC")prohibits
on-site lighting from casting direct or reflected glare on adjacent properties. The applicant
states that recessed down lights are proposed for the outdoor security lighting. The west
exit will have a single wall mount fixture above the door with appropriate shielding to
prevent glare or light intrusion on neighboring properties.
5. The proposed development will have no impact on parking, The proposed
accessory building is intended to support the existing church. It will not increase the
capacity of the church or generate additional traffic and parking demand. Parking impacts
generated by the existing church are not relevant to this application. Parking is permitted
on public streets in the area on a first-come, first served basis. On-street parking is not
reserved for abutting residents and their guests.
6. There is no evidence that the proposed building will increase the amount of
graffiti in the area. Any new walls will provide an additional "canvas"for graffiti.
• However there is no evidence that the proposed building will attract a disproportionate
amount of graffiti. The applicant will install low-level security lighting to facilitate visual
surveillance of the building and the applicant, like all other property owners in the City, is
required to promptly remove any graffiti that may occur. TMC 6.02.060.
7. Concerns were expressed about problems with noxious vegetation growing on
the site under existing conditions. TMC 6.02.020.A requires the applicant remove any
