Kenny Asher presented the Tigard centric views regarding the project. The project has changed since Tigard voters approved the ballot measure in 2016. The Mayor and Council are concerned about the best line for Tigard. Many of the Tigard priorities included in the early stages of planning were eliminated to reduce costs for the Bridgeport terminus. A terminus at Bridgeport is supported but is not a Tigard priority. Projects eliminated affecting Tigard include stormwater,parks and sidewalk improvements,Atlanta Street extension,Ash Avenue connection downtown, a Tigard downtown station,pedestrian and bicyclist bridge access over 217,grade separated crossing over Upper Boones Ferry,improvements to Hall Boulevard, downtown parking structure. It is also now being proposed to eliminate traffic lanes on Barbur Boulevard.The concern is whether this is the best project for Tigard. Page 1 of 2 TOWN CENTER ADVISORY COMMISSION October 9, 2019 5.

Joe Patton,TCAC Meeting Secretary Kate Rogers, Chair Page 2of2 2019 Annual Report of the Town Center Advisory Commission to the Board of the Town Center Development Agency December 1,2019 The Town Center Advisory Commission (TCAC) adopted annual goals and objectives for calendar year 2019. The annual agenda for the TCAC was largely devoted to developing and implementing the goals. This report is organized around the adopted 2019 TCAC Goals and Objectives. Aspirational Goal: Facilitate opportunities for development that promotes walkability, equity, and connectivity across both urban renewal districts. Outcomes Walkability within and connectivity between the two urban renewal districts continues to be a key issue for the commission. In June,we received a briefing on the Red Rock Creek Trail design which includes a proposed trail that would cross Highway217 on the SW Corridor overpass. The TCAC sent a letter to Mayor Snyder in his role as head of the TCDA and as a member of the SW Corridor Steering Committee, strongly supporting the inclusion of bike and ped facilities in the overpass design (See attached letter). The TCAC participated in the development of"A New Tigard Triangle: Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Strategy". Several commissioners were on the New Tigard Triangle sub-committee and we held a joint working session with the sub-committee in our August meeting. A final draft of the plan was presented in our October meeting and we voted to recommend acceptance of the New Tigard Triangle Strategy by the TCDA along with the guidance that land acquisition for parks and roads be prioritized (See attached recommendation) The TCAC supported several projects that promote walkability, equity, and connectivity across Downtown and the Tigard Triangle: • Senior Center Affordable Senior Housing • A New Tigard Triangle Implementation Strategy • 72nd and Dartmouth development assistance • Tigard Street Heritage Trail. Goal 1. Downtown: Identify new revitalization projects &drive existing projects to completion in the Downtown Urban Renewal District. Outcomes Progress has been made on several existing projects: • Construction is nearly complete on Tigard Street Heritage Trail/Rotary Plaza. The project includes a public restroom,which the TCAC has strongly advocated for. • The Main St at Fanno project continues to move forward. The TCDA approved the project plan in the September 3 council meeting which was one of the milestones in the development agreement. • Members of the TCAC participated in the selection of Northwest Housing Alternatives to be the developer of the Senior Center affordable senior housing project and are participating in the stakeholder meetings that will help select the architect and provide ongoing input into the design of the project. • Another area of focus for the TCAC this year has been the Universal Plaza. Members of the TCAC volunteered to assist in a "public life" survey run by Gehl Studios.We had briefings on the survey results in our August and September meetings. The Commission is concerned about activation and maintenance of the plaza. A representative of the TCAC will help evaluate proposals from consultants for the activation, design and engineering of Universal Plaza. The joint Urban Renewal Improvement Programs Joint Committee made two new matching grant awards: 1) Stirato Bakery&Bistro for interior buildout and 2) Fraternal Order of Eagle for external repair, paint and signage. We also saw the successful completion of the Senet Taphouse and Versus Board Games project. These projects continue to revitalize the Downtown district and draw more people into the city center. Goal 2. Tigard Triangle: Participate in the development of the Tigard Triangle Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Project. Outcomes The key initiative for the TCAC in 2019 was the development of The Tigard Triangle Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Strategy (renamed A New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development). The goal of the plan is to provide direction for strategic public investments that support and catalyze equitable development in the Triangle that is consistent with the community's vision, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from the area's economic transformation. There were a significant number of public outreach meetings as well as shareholder interviews. And a subcommittee of four commissioners and four community members was formed to develop the criteria used to rank projects and review the draft prioritized list. The draft implementation plan was reviewed by TCAC and TCAC Subcommittee at a joint meeting in August. The subcommittee strongly recommended continued public outreach as projects are being considered. A final draft of the plan was presented in our October meeting and we voted to recommend acceptance of the New Tigard Triangle Strategy by the TCDA along with the guidance that land acquisition for parks and roads be prioritized (See attached recommendation) Goal 3. SW Corridor: Consider, investigate and recommend specific planning components associated with the adopted SW Corridor alignment and station locations in both downtown and the Triangle. Outcomes The TCAC received a briefing from city staff on the Hall Blvd station design in our May meeting. While the station will be outside the Downtown Urban Renewal District, we are concerned about how the city can link the station with downtown. This includes the design of the pedestrian crossing and transit oriented development along Commercial Street. October, TriMet presented an update on the SW Corridor project including a significant budget shortfall and possible ways to close the funding gap. Kenny Asher outlined Mayor Snider's concerns over the narrowing of Barber Blvd and the elimination of the section to Bridgeport as possible ways to eliminate the shortfall. The commission continues to support the LPA that preserves naturally occurring affordable housing, does not necessitate on-grade crossing of Hall Blvd and extends to Bridgeport. Goal 4.Affordable Housing: Recommend specific programs and policies to City staff and Council that directly affect, support and encourage the development and preservation of affordable housing downtown and in the Triangle. Outcomes The TCAC was directly involved with several affordable housing initiatives: • The commission participated in the selection of the developer for Senior Center affordable senior housing project and has two members on the stakeholder committee. The stakeholder committee has provided input on the selection of an architect and will provide design and implementation input throughout the project. • CPAH's Red Rock Creek Commons project broke ground in October. The TCAC's provision of developer assistance early in the lifecycle of this project was instrumental in moving the project forward. • The New Tigard Triangle: Planning for Equitable Development Project ranks affordable housing as priority in the near term (next 5 years). Funding will be requested in future TCDA budgets to provide development assistance for affordable housing. Goal S. Equitable Business Development: Recommend specific programs and policies to City staff and Council that directly affect, support and encourage equitable business development downtown and in the Triangle. Outcomes In March,the TCAC received a presentation from the Metro project manager for the Southwest Equitable Development Strategy (SWEDS). He gave briefing on SWEDS and on potential programs to support equitable business development. Business and development assistance ranked as a near term priority in the New Tigard Triangle report. Business and development assistance program development with a focus on equity will be a part of Phase 2 of the project. The Town Center Advisory Commission is already looking forward to 2020 and the kickoff of our key initiative: the implementation of A New Tigard Triangle: Equitable Urban Renewal Implementation Strategy Plan. On behalf of the Town Center Advisory Commission, Kate Rogers Lucas Brook Chair Vice-Chair Recommendations for Town Center Development Agency Consideration Background: The Town Center Advisory Commission (TCAC) is charged with advising the Town Center Development Agency (TCDA) on policy and projects related to the City Center Urban Renewal Plan and the Tigard Triangle Urban Renewal Plan.
