SECTION II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Site History and Vicinity Information:
The subject site consists of Tax Lots 2S106000, Tax Lots 1500, 1600, 1800, 1801, 2900, 3000, 3200, and 2S107000,
Tax Lots 1200, 1300, 1302, 1303, 1305, 1400, 1900, 2000, 0100, 0102, 0103, 0105, 0106. The setbacks will be
modified within previously approved Planned Development Communities: Polygon at Roshak Ridge (PDR2015-
00002), Polygon at South River Terrace (PDR2015-00003), Polygon at West River Terrace (PDR2015-00004), River
Terrace Northwest (PDR2015-00005), and Polygon at River Terrace Edge (PDR2015-00009). The previously
approved planned developments established rear yard setbacks for detached homes of fifteen feet and ten feet for
attached row homes. The site includes four zones: R-4.5, R-7, R-12 and R-25, the typical rear yard setback for single
Staff recommends that Planning Commission find that the proposed Planned Development Detailed Plans will not adversely affect the health, safety and welfare of the City and meet the Approval Standards as outlined in Section VI of this report. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL, subject to the following Conditions of Approval.
THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL SHALL BE VALID FOR 7 YEARS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS DECISION
PDR2016-00002 through 00006– RIVER TERRACE SETBACK MODIFICATION PAGE 3 OF 5
family homes within these zones are fifteen feet.
Proposal Description:
The Applicant requests approval of a rear yard setback modification to allow for ten foot setbacks for the detached
homes and five foot setbacks for the attached row homes. This set back modification does not apply to any lot
located on the eastern and northern perimeter abutting existing residential development or residentially zoned land.
Any lot located on the perimeter is subject to the standard fifteen foot setback (Section 18.660.070.B.3a).
Polygon Northwest would like to offer future home owners located on interior lots an attached covered patio as an
option. Not every home is being built with attached patios but it will be an add-on option or potentially an option for
home owners to add on themselves. In order to accommodate these covered patios a modification to the year yard
setback is requested.
SECTION IV. COMMENTS FROM PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 500 FEET
On April 21, 2016 and May 2, 2016 the city sent notices of a pending land use action to neighboring property
owners within 500 feet of the subject site boundaries. The City received three phone calls regarding the project
asking general questions how the project would affect adjacent property outside of River Terrace. Staff informed
the callers that the proposed setback modification does not change the setback for lots on the eastern and northern
perimeter. Staff also received one letter on May 12, 2016 from Joseph Raven a property owner adjacent to Roshak
Ridge. Mr. Raven addressed the narrative provided by the applicant and referenced many sections of the Tigard
Development Code where he stated were not addressed or failed to provide evidence supporting the standards. The
modification only affected portions of Section 18.350.060 and 18.660.070 and staff has addressed these sections
below. Mr. Raven also referenced several sections of the Washington County Code which he thought should be
considered. Washington County Code is not applicable to this site since it is in the jurisdiction of the City of Tigard.
SECTION V. SUMMARY OF APPLICABLE CRITERIA
Only the approval criteria that pertain to the specific modification are applicable to this requested planned
development amendment. The request is for a modification of previously approved rear setbacks on interior lots
only. No other aspects of the previously approved planned developments are subject to this review. The requirements
of the River Terrace Plan District (18.660) apply in addition to the requirements of the Planned Development
Chapter. Because the request is to modify just the rear yard setbacks of the interior lots only the following criteria
apply:
18.350.060 Detailed Development Plan Submission Requirements 18.660.070 Planned Developments
SECTION VI. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
18.350 PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
18.350.060 Detailed Development Plan Submission Requirements C. Compliance with specific development standards. The detailed development plan shall show compliance with base zone provisions, with the following modifications: 4. Structure setback provisions: a. Setbacks for structures on the perimeter of the project shall be the same as that required by the base zone unless otherwise provided by Chapter 18.360; b. The setback provisions for all setbacks on the interior of the project shall not apply except that: i. All structures shall meet the Uniform Building and Fire Code requirements; ii. A minimum front yard setback of 20 feet is required for any garage structure which opens facing a street. This setback may be reduced for rear or side loaded garages, if specified on the detailed plan and proper clearances for backing movements are accounted for;
PDR2016-00002 through 00006– RIVER TERRACE SETBACK MODIFICATION PAGE 4 OF 5
iii. A minimum front yard setback of eight feet is required for any garage opening for an attached single family dwelling facing a private street as long as the required off street parking spaces are provided. This setback may be reduced for rear or side loaded garages, if specified on the detailed plan and proper clearances for backing movements are accounted for. c. If seeking to modify the base zone setbacks, the applicant shall specify the proposed setbacks, either on a lot by lot, or project wide basis. The commission may require site specific building envelopes
The request does not modify the original compliance with most of these criteria. The applicant states that all
structures in the proposed development will meet the Uniform Building and Fire Code requirements. The garage
setback for attached single family homes is proposed to be 20 feet for garages from a public street.
The applicant is seeking to modify only the rear yard setbacks of the interior lots of the five previously approved
planned developments. The proposed modification will reduce the rear yard setbacks from fifteen feet to ten feet for
interior detached homes, and from ten feet to five feet for all attached row homes. The proposed modifications are
shown on the Typical Lot Plans (Exhibit B) of the applicant’s documents. The previous approvals specified setbacks
of fifteen feet for interior lot detached homes, and ten for all attached row homes, as allowed under .060.C.4.c, above.
The Commission has the authority to approve the modification and a reduction of the interior lot rear yard setbacks
by five feet. As the provisions of 060.C.4.b, allow for no rear setbacks at all, the requested five-foot reduction is
clearly within the standards of this section. This criterion is met.
18.660 RIVER TERRACE PLAN DISTRICT
18.660.070 PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
B. Development Standards. The provisions of the underlying base zone(s) shall apply except as modified by this section. The specific development standards contained in subsection 18.350.060.C shall not apply. The following specific development standards shall apply in their place.
3. Setbacks. The setback standards of the underlying base zone shall not apply to any building on any lot, including those lots abutting right-of-way, except as follows: a. All buildings on lots along the eastern and northern perimeter of the River Terrace Plan District abutting existing residential development, or residentially-zoned land that is undeveloped or is in an easement or tract, shall meet the setback standard of the underlying base zone or the abutting zone, whichever provides the greater setback, on the side of the lot abutting the perimeter. This standard may be met by proposing an open space tract between the proposed development and the abutting development or land.
b. All buildings shall meet the minimum requirements of the Oregon Specialty Codes and the Oregon Fire Code All garages and carports shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet on the side of the lot from which vehicle access is taken from a public right-of-way. If vehicle access is taken from a private street or alley, this setback may be reduced to zero feet where proper clearances for turning and backing movements are provided. c. Where the applicant proposes to reduce the underlying base zone setbacks for buildings on lots not included in subparagraph a. of this paragraph 3, the applicant shall specify the proposed setbacks on either a lot-by-lot or area-wide basis.
The five previously approved planned developments (Polygon at Roshak Ridge PDR2015-00002, Polygon at South River Terrace PDR2015-00003, Polygon at West River Terrace PDR2015-00004, River Terrace Northwest PDR2015-00005, and Polygon at River Terrace Edge PDR2015-00009) established rear yard setbacks for interior detached homes of fifteen feet and ten feet for attached row homes. The applicant is requesting a modification to these established rear yard setbacks, reducing them from fifteen feet to ten feet for interior detached homes, and from ten feet to five feet for all attached row homes. The reduced setbacks would apply to all lots in the five planned developments except homes along the eastern and northern perimeter of the River Terrace Plan District that abuts existing residential development or residentially zoned land.

18.350.070 Detailed Development Plan Approval Criteria
A detailed development plan may be approved only if all the following criteria are met:
A. The detailed plan is generally consistent with the concept plan. Minor changes from
the concept plan do not make the detailed plan inconsistent with the concept plan
unless:
1. The change increases the residential densities, increases the lot coverage by
buildings or reduces the amount of parking;
2. The change reduces the amount of open space and landscaping;
3. The change involves a change in use;
4. The change commits land to development which is environmentally sensitive
or subject to a potential hazard; and
5. The change involves a major shift in the location of buildings, proposed

18.660 RIVER TERRACE PLAN DISTRICT
18.660.040 Approval Criteria
18.660.070 Planned Developments
A. Development Standards. The provisions of the underlying base zone(s) shall apply
except as modified by this section. The specific development standards contained in
Subsection 18.350.060.C shall not apply. The following specific development
standards shall apply in their place.
3. Setbacks. The setback standards of the underlying base zone shall not apply
to any building on any lot, including those lots abutting right-of-way, except
as follows:
a. All buildings on lots along the eastern and northern perimeter of the River
Terrace Plan District abutting existing residential development, or
residentially-zoned land that is undeveloped or is in an easement or tract,
shall meet the setback standard of the underlying base zone or the abutting
zone, whichever provides the greater setback, on the side of the lot abutting
the perimeter. This standard may be met by proposing an open space tract
between the proposed development and the abutting development or land.
b. All buildings shall meet the minimum requirements of the Oregon Specialty
Codes and the Oregon Fire Code.
c. All garages and carports shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet on the side
of the lot from which vehicle access is taken from a public right-of-way. If
vehicle access is taken from a private street or alley, this setback may be
reduced to 0 feet where proper clearances for turning and backing
movements are provided.
d. Where the applicant proposes to reduce the underlying base zone setbacks
for buildings on lots not included in Subsection B.3.a above, the applicant
shall specify the proposed setbacks on either a lot-by-lot or area-wide basis.
Response: The proposed modification will add a 10’ rear yard setback for covered patios. Rear
covered patios are an option that homebuyers may select for front-loaded detached single-
family homes. This option would be made available for lots 57-63, 81-136, and 185-222, which
are not located along the eastern or northern perimeter of the River Terrace Plan District
abutting existing residential development or residentially zoned land. This modification is
shown in Table A below and on the Site Plan / Typical Lot Plan (See Exhibit B). The proposed
modification does not later the projects compliance with the minimum requirements of the
Oregon Specialty Code, the Oregon Fire Code, or the minimum 20’ garage setback from a public
right-of-way.

public use shown in a plan adopted by the city is located in whole or
in part in a subdivision, the commission may require the dedication or
Planned Development Modification – River Terrace Northwest Pacific Community Design, Inc.
March 29, 2016 Page 12
reservation of such area within the subdivision, provided that the
reservation or dedication is roughly proportional to the impact of the
subdivision on the park system. Where considered desirable by the
commission in accordance with adopted comprehensive plan policies,
and where a development plan of the city does not indicate proposed
public use areas, the commission may require the dedication or
reservation of areas within the subdivision or sites of a character,
extent and location suitable for the development of parks or other
public use, provided that the reservation or dedication is roughly
proportional to the impact of the subdivision on the park system. The
open space shall be conveyed in accordance with one of the following
methods:
a. Public ownership. Open space proposed for dedication
to the city must be acceptable to it with regard to the
size, shape, location, improvement and budgetary and
maintenance limitations. A determination of city
acceptance shall be made in writing by the parks &
facilities division manager prior to final approval.
Dedications of open space may be eligible for systems
development charge credits, usable only for the
proposed development. If deemed to be not acceptable,
the open space shall be in private ownership as
described below.
b. b. Private ownership. By conveying title (including
beneficial ownership) to a corporation, home
association or other legal entity, and granting a
conservation easement to the city in a form acceptable
by the city. The terms of the conservation easement
must include provisions for the following:
i. The continued use of such land for the intended
purposes;
ii. Continuity of property maintenance;
iii. When appropriate, the availability of funds
required for such maintenance;
iv. Adequate insurance protection; and
v. Recovery for loss sustained by casualty and
condemnation or otherwise. (Ord. 09-13; Ord.

B. Development Standards. The provisions of the underlying base zone(s) shall
apply except as modified by this section. The specific development standards
contained in Subsection 18.350.060.C shall not apply. The following specific
development standards shall apply in their place.
3. Setbacks. The setback standards of the underlying base zone shall not
apply to any building on any lot, including those lots abutting right-of-
way, except as follows:
a. All buildings on lots along the eastern and northern perimeter of the
River Terrace Plan District abutting existing residential development,
or residentially-zoned land that is undeveloped or is in an easement
or tract, shall meet the setback standard of the underlying base zone
or the abutting zone, whichever provides the greater setback, on the
side of the lot abutting the perimeter. This standard may be met by
proposing an open space tract between the proposed development and
the abutting development or land.
b. All buildings shall meet the minimum requirements of the Oregon
Specialty Codes and the Oregon Fire Code.
c. All garages and carports shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet on the

18.350.070 Detailed Development Plan Approval Criteria
A detailed development plan may be approved only if all the following criteria are met:
A. The detailed plan is generally consistent with the concept plan. Minor changes from
the concept plan do not make the detailed plan inconsistent with the concept plan
unless:
1. The change increases the residential densities, increases the lot coverage by
buildings or reduces the amount of parking;
2. The change reduces the amount of open space and landscaping;
3. The change involves a change in use;
4. The change commits land to development which is environmentally sensitive
or subject to a potential hazard; and
5. The change involves a major shift in the location of buildings, proposed
streets, parking lots, landscaping or other site improvements.
Response: The proposed modification includes the addition of a 10’ rear yard covered patio
setback. No increases in residential densities, lot coverage by buildings, or reductions in parking
are proposed. No reductions in the amount of open space or landscaping are proposed. The
proposed modification does not change the uses within the Planned Development. The proposed
modification does not commit land to development that is environmentally sensitive or subject
to potential hazard without obtaining approval from affected agencies. Proposed modification
does not involve major shifts in buildings, streets, parking lots, landscaping or other site
improvements. The detailed development plan remains in compliance with the concept plan.
B. All the provisions of the land division provisions, Chapters 18.420, Partitions, and
18.430, Subdivisions, shall be met if applicable;
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with Chapter
18.420 as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
C. Except as noted, the provisions of the following chapters shall be utilized as
guidelines. A planned development need not meet these requirements where a
development plan provides alternative designs and methods, if acceptable to the
commission that promotes the purpose of this chapter. In each case, the applicant
must provide findings to justify the modification of the standards in the chapters
listed below. The applicant shall respond to all the applicable criteria of each
chapter as part of these findings and clearly identify where their proposal is seeking
a modification to the strict application of the standards. For those chapters not
specifically exempted, the applicant bears the burden of fully complying with those
standards, unless a variance or adjustment has been requested.
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with the
provisions of the chapters referenced above, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
Planned Development Modification – Polygon at Roshak Ridge Pacific Community Design, Inc.

D. In addition, the following criteria shall be met:
1. Relationship to the natural and physical environment:
a. The streets, buildings and other site elements shall be designed
and located to preserve the existing trees, topography and
natural drainage to the greatest degree possible. The
commission may require the applicant to provide an alternate
site plan to demonstrate compliance with this criterion;
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
b. Structures located on the site shall not be in areas subject to
ground slumping and sliding as demonstrated by the inclusion
of a specific geotechnical evaluation; and
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
c. Using the basic site analysis information from the concept plan
submittal, the structures shall be oriented with consideration
for the sun and wind directions, where possible.
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
2. Privacy and noise. Nonresidential structures which abut existing residential
dwellings shall be located on the site or be designed in a manner, to the
maximum degree possible, to protect the private areas on the adjoining
properties from view and noise;
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
3. Exterior elevations—Single-family attached and multiple-family structures.
Along the vertical face of single-family attached and multiple-family
structures, offsets shall occur at a minimum of every 30 feet by providing any
two of the following:
a. Recesses, e.g., decks, patios, entrances, floor area, of a
minimum depth of eight feet;
b. Extensions, e.g., decks, patios, entrances, floor area, of a
minimum depth of eight feet, a maximum length of an overhang
shall be 25 feet; and
c. Offsets or breaks in roof elevations of three or more feet in
height.
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.

ground-level residential dwelling unit shall have an outdoor
private area (patio, terrace, or porch) of not less than 48
square feet with a minimum width dimension of four feet;
b. Wherever possible, private outdoor open spaces should be
oriented toward the sun; and
c. Private outdoor spaces shall be screened or designed to provide
privacy for the use of the space.
5. Shared outdoor recreation and open space facility areas—Residential use:
a. Exclusive of any other required open space facilities, each
residential dwelling development shall incorporate shared
usable outdoor recreation areas within the development plan
as follows:
i. Studio units up to and including two bedroom units, 200
square feet per unit;
ii. Three or more bedroom units, 300 square feet per unit.
b. Shared outdoor recreation space shall be readily observable
from adjacent units for reasons of crime prevention and safety;
c. The required recreation space may be provided as follows:
i. Additional outdoor passive use open space facilities;

standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
12. Shared open space facilities. These requirements are applicable to residential
planned developments only. The detailed development plan shall designate a
minimum of 20% of the gross site area as a shared open space facility. The
open space facility may be comprised of any combination of the following:
a. Minimal use facilities. Up to 75% of the open space requirement
may be satisfied by reserving areas for minimal use. Typically
these areas are designated around sensitive lands (steep
slopes, wetlands, streams, or 100-year floodplain).
b. Passive use facilities. Up to 100% of the open space
requirement may be satisfied by providing a detailed
development plan for improvements (including landscaping,
irrigation, pathway and other structural improvements) for
passive recreational use.
c. Active use facilities. Up to 100% of the open space requirement
may be satisfied by providing a detailed development plan for
improvements (including landscaping, irrigation, pathway and
other structural improvements) for active recreational use.
d. The open space area shall be shown on the final plan and
recorded on the final plat or covenants.
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
13. Open space conveyance: Where a proposed park, playground or other public
use shown in a plan adopted by the city is located in whole or in part in a
subdivision, the commission may require the dedication or reservation of
such area within the subdivision, provided that the reservation or dedication
is roughly proportional to the impact of the subdivision on the park system.
Where considered desirable by the commission in accordance with adopted
comprehensive plan policies, and where a development plan of the city does
not indicate proposed public use areas, the commission may require the
dedication or reservation of areas within the subdivision or sites of a
character, extent and location suitable for the development of parks or other
public use, provided that the reservation or dedication is roughly
proportional to the impact of the subdivision on the park system. The open
space shall be conveyed in accordance with one of the following methods:
a. Public ownership. Open space proposed for dedication to the
city must be acceptable to it with regard to the size, shape,
location, improvement and budgetary and maintenance
limitations. A determination of city acceptance shall be made
in writing by the parks & facilities division manager prior to
Planned Development Modification – Polygon at Roshak Ridge Pacific Community Design, Inc.
March 29, 2016 Page 13
final approval. Dedications of open space may be eligible for
systems development charge credits, usable only for the
proposed development. If deemed to be not acceptable, the
open space shall be in private ownership as described below.
b. b. Private ownership. By conveying title (including beneficial
ownership) to a corporation, home association or other legal
entity, and granting a conservation easement to the city in a
form acceptable by the city. The terms of the conservation
easement must include provisions for the following:
i. The continued use of such land for the intended
purposes;
ii. Continuity of property maintenance;
iii. When appropriate, the availability of funds required for
such maintenance;
iv. Adequate insurance protection; and
v. Recovery for loss sustained by casualty and
condemnation or otherwise. (Ord. 09-13; Ord. 06-16)
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.

who are property owners of record as specified in subsection C of this
section. The records of the Washington County Department of Assessment
Planned Development Modification – Polygon at Roshak Ridge Pacific Community Design, Inc.
March 29, 2016 Page 14
and Taxation shall be the official records for determining ownership. The
applicant shall demonstrate that the most current assessment records have
been used to produce the notice list;
e. Include an impact study. The impact study shall quantify the effect of the
development on public facilities and services. The study shall address, at a
minimum, the transportation system, including bikeways, the drainage
system, the parks system, the water system, the sewer system, and the
noise impacts of the development. For each public facility system and type
of impact, the study shall propose improvements necessary to meet city
standards and to minimize the impact of the development on the public at
large, public facilities systems, and affected private property users. In
situations where the community development code requires the dedication
of real property interests, the applicant shall either specifically concur with
the dedication requirements, or provide evidence which supports the
conclusion that the real property dedication requirement is not roughly
proportional to the projected impacts of the development.
Response: A completed and signed application form and accompanying fee have been
submitted. A copy of the application form and check is provided in Exhibit A. This report
addresses the relevant criteria for the proposed Planned Development modification and

B. Development Standards. The provisions of the underlying base zone(s) shall apply
except as modified by this section. The specific development standards contained in
Subsection 18.350.060.C shall not apply. The following specific development
standards shall apply in their place.
3. Setbacks. The setback standards of the underlying base zone shall not apply
to any building on any lot, including those lots abutting right-of-way, except
as follows:
a. All buildings on lots along the eastern and northern perimeter of the River
Terrace Plan District abutting existing residential development, or
residentially-zoned land that is undeveloped or is in an easement or tract,
shall meet the setback standard of the underlying base zone or the abutting
zone, whichever provides the greater setback, on the side of the lot abutting
the perimeter. This standard may be met by proposing an open space tract
between the proposed development and the abutting development or land.
b. All buildings shall meet the minimum requirements of the Oregon Specialty
Codes and the Oregon Fire Code.
c. All garages and carports shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet on the side
of the lot from which vehicle access is taken from a public right-of-way. If
Planned Development Modification – Polygon at Roshak Ridge Pacific Community Design, Inc.
March 29, 2016 Page 16
vehicle access is taken from a private street or alley, this setback may be
reduced to 0 feet where proper clearances for turning and backing
movements are provided.
d. Where the applicant proposes to reduce the underlying base zone setbacks
for buildings on lots not included in Subsection B.3.a above, the applicant
shall specify the proposed setbacks on either a lot-by-lot or area-wide basis.
Response: The proposed modification will add a 10’ rear yard setback for covered patios. Rear
covered patios are an option that homebuyers may select for front-loaded detached single-
family homes. This option would be made available for lots 130-166 and 181-244. This
modification is shown in Table A below and on the Site Plan / Typical Lot Plan (See Exhibit B).
The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with the minimum
requirements of the Oregon Specialty Code, the Oregon Fire Code, or the minimum 20’ garage
setback from a public right-of-way.

Response: The proposed modification does not alter the projects compliance with Chapter
18.420 as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
C. Except as noted, the provisions of the following chapters shall be utilized as
guidelines. A planned development need not meet these requirements where a
development plan provides alternative designs and methods, if acceptable to the
commission that promotes the purpose of this chapter. In each case, the applicant
must provide findings to justify the modification of the standards in the chapters
listed below. The applicant shall respond to all the applicable criteria of each
chapter as part of these findings and clearly identify where their proposal is seeking
a modification to the strict application of the standards. For those chapters not
specifically exempted, the applicant bears the burden of fully complying with those
standards, unless a variance or adjustment has been requested.
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with the
provisions of the chapters referenced above, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.

single-family lot contains one off-street parking space.
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
10. Drainage. All drainage provisions shall be generally laid out in accordance
with the requirements set forth in Chapter 18.810. An applicant may propose
an alternate means for stormwater conveyance on the basis that a reduction
of stormwater runoff or an increase in the level of treatment will result from
the use of such means as green streets, porous concrete, or eco roofs.
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
11. Floodplain dedication. Where landfill and/or development are allowed within
or adjacent to the 100-year floodplain, the city shall require consideration of
the dedication of sufficient open land area for a greenway adjoining and
within the floodplain. This area shall include portions of a suitable elevation
Planned Development Modification – South River Terrace Pacific Community Design, Inc.
March 29, 2016 Page 12
for the construction of a pedestrian/bicycle pathway with the floodplain in
accordance with the adopted pedestrian bicycle pathway plan.
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
12. Shared open space facilities. These requirements are applicable to residential
planned developments only. The detailed development plan shall designate a
minimum of 20% of the gross site area as a shared open space facility. The
open space facility may be comprised of any combination of the following:
a. Minimal use facilities. Up to 75% of the open space requirement
may be satisfied by reserving areas for minimal use. Typically
these areas are designated around sensitive lands (steep
slopes, wetlands, streams, or 100-year floodplain).
b. Passive use facilities. Up to 100% of the open space
requirement may be satisfied by providing a detailed
development plan for improvements (including landscaping,
irrigation, pathway and other structural improvements) for
passive recreational use.
c. Active use facilities. Up to 100% of the open space requirement
may be satisfied by providing a detailed development plan for
improvements (including landscaping, irrigation, pathway and
other structural improvements) for active recreational use.
d. The open space area shall be shown on the final plan and
recorded on the final plat or covenants.
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
13. Open space conveyance: Where a proposed park, playground or other public
use shown in a plan adopted by the city is located in whole or in part in a
subdivision, the commission may require the dedication or reservation of
such area within the subdivision, provided that the reservation or dedication
is roughly proportional to the impact of the subdivision on the park system.
Where considered desirable by the commission in accordance with adopted
comprehensive plan policies, and where a development plan of the city does
not indicate proposed public use areas, the commission may require the
dedication or reservation of areas within the subdivision or sites of a
character, extent and location suitable for the development of parks or other
public use, provided that the reservation or dedication is rough ly
proportional to the impact of the subdivision on the park system. The open
space shall be conveyed in accordance with one of the following methods:
a. Public ownership. Open space proposed for dedication to the
city must be acceptable to it with regard to the size, shape,
location, improvement and budgetary and maintenance
limitations. A determination of city acceptance shall be made
in writing by the parks & facilities division manager prior to
final approval. Dedications of open space may be eligible for
Planned Development Modification – South River Terrace Pacific Community Design, Inc.
March 29, 2016 Page 13
systems development charge credits, usable only for the
proposed development. If deemed to be not acceptable, the
open space shall be in private ownership as described below.
b. b. Private ownership. By conveying title (including beneficial
ownership) to a corporation, home association or other legal
entity, and granting a conservation easement to the city in a
form acceptable by the city. The terms of the conservation
easement must include provisions for the following:
i. The continued use of such land for the intended
purposes;
ii. Continuity of property maintenance;
iii. When appropriate, the availability of funds required for
such maintenance;
iv. Adequate insurance protection; and
v. Recovery for loss sustained by casualty and
condemnation or otherwise. (Ord. 09-13; Ord. 06-16)
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with this
standard, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.

applicant shall demonstrate that the most current assessment records have
been used to produce the notice list;
Response: A completed and signed application form and accompanying fee have been
submitted. A copy of the application form and check is provided in Exhibit A.
e. Include an impact study. The impact study shall quantify the effect of the
development on public facilities and services. The study shall address, at a
minimum, the transportation system, including bikeways, the drainage
system, the parks system, the water system, the sewer system, and the
noise impacts of the development. For each public facility system and type
of impact, the study shall propose improvements necessary to meet city
standards and to minimize the impact of the development on the public at
large, public facilities systems, and affected private property users. In
situations where the community development code requires the dedication
of real property interests, the applicant shall either specifically concur with
the dedication requirements, or provide evidence which supports the
conclusion that the real property dedication requirement is not roughly
proportional to the projected impacts of the development.
Response: A completed and signed application form and accompanying fee have been
submitted. A copy of the application form and check is provided in Exhibit A. This report

18.660.070 Planned Developments
A. Development Standards. The provisions of the underlying base zone(s) shall apply
except as modified by this section. The specific development standards contained in
Subsection 18.350.060.C shall not apply. The following specific development
standards shall apply in their place.
3. Setbacks. The setback standards of the underlying base zone shall not apply
to any building on any lot, including those lots abutting right-of-way, except
as follows:
a. All buildings on lots along the eastern and northern perimeter of the River
Terrace Plan District abutting existing residential development, or
residentially-zoned land that is undeveloped or is in an easement or tract,
shall meet the setback standard of the underlying base zone or the abutting
zone, whichever provides the greater setback, on the side of the lot abutting
the perimeter. This standard may be met by proposing an open space tract
between the proposed development and the abutting development or land.
b. All buildings shall meet the minimum requirements of the Oregon Specialty
Codes and the Oregon Fire Code.
Planned Development Modification – South River Terrace Pacific Community Design, Inc.
March 29, 2016 Page 16
c. All garages and carports shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet on the side
of the lot from which vehicle access is taken from a public right-of-way. If
vehicle access is taken from a private street or alley, this setback may be
reduced to 0 feet where proper clearances for turning and backing
movements are provided.
d. Where the applicant proposes to reduce the underlying base zone setbacks
for buildings on lots not included in Subsection B.3.a above, the applicant
shall specify the proposed setbacks on either a lot-by-lot or area-wide basis.
Response: The proposed modification will add a 10’ rear yard setback for covered patios. Rear
covered patios are an option that homebuyers may select for front-loaded detached single-
family homes. This option would be made available for lots 1-6, 127-147, and 149-183, which
are not located along the eastern or northern perimeter of the river Terrace Plan district
abutting existing residential development or residentially zoned land. . This modification is
shown in Table A below and on the Site Plan / Typical Lot Plan (See Exhibit B). The proposed
modification does not alter the projects compliance with the minimum requirements of the
Oregon Specialty Code, the Oregon Fire code, or the minimum 20’ garage setback from a public
right of way.

required by 18.350.040.B and the approval criteria under Section
18.350.070.
Response: This modification is submitted under the Type III procedure as
modifications are required to be reviewed through the same procedure as the original
planned development approval.
B. Compliance with specific development standards. The detailed development
plan shall show compliance with base zone provisions, with the following
modifications:
1. Lot dimensional standards. The minimum lot depth and lot width
standards shall not apply. There shall be no minimum lot size except
that lots on the perimeter of the project shall not be less than 80% of
the minimum size required in the base zone.
Response: This request does not modify the original Planned Development approval
regarding lot dimensional standards.
2. Site coverage. The maximum site coverage is 80%, except in the IP
zone where the maximum site coverage shall be 75%. Site coverage
includes all buildings and impervious surfaces such as streets and
sidewalks.
Response: This request does not modify the original Planned Development approval
regarding site coverage.
3. Building height. In residential zones, any increase in the building
height above the maximum in the base zone will require that the
structure be set back from the perimeter of the site a distance of at
least 1-1/2 times the height of the building.
Response: This request does not modify the original Planned Development approval
regarding building height.
4. Structure setback provisions:
a. Setbacks for structures on the perimeter of the project
shall be the same as that required by the base zone
unless otherwise provided by Chapter 18.360;
Response: Setbacks around the perimeter of the project as defined by the River

b. The setback provisions for all setbacks on the interior of
the project shall not apply except that:
i. All structures shall meet the Uniform Building and
Fire Code requirements;
ii. A minimum front yard setback of 20 feet is
required for any garage structure which opens
facing a street. This setback may be reduced for
rear or side loaded garages, if specified on the
detailed plan and proper clearances for backing
movements are accounted for;
iii. A minimum front yard setback of eight feet is
required for any garage opening for an attached
single-family dwelling facing a private street as
long as the required off-street parking spaces are
provided. This setback may be reduced for rear or
side loaded garages, if specified on the detailed
plan and proper clearances for backing
movements are accounted for.
Response: The request does not modify compliance of the original Planned
Development approval with these standards.
c. If seeking to modify the base zone setbacks, the
applicant shall specify the proposed setbacks, either on a
lot by lot, or project wide basis. The commission may
require site specific building envelopes.
Response: The proposed modification will add a 10’ rear yard setback for covered
patios. This modification is shown on Table A below in bold / underlined and on the
Site Plan / Typical Lot Plan see Exhibit B. Rear covered patios are an option that
homebuyers may select for front-loaded detached single –family homes. This option
would be made available for lots 83-113.

18.350.070 Detailed Development Plan Approval Criteria
A detailed development plan may be approved only if all the following criteria are
met:
A. The detailed plan is generally consistent with the concept plan. Minor
changes from the concept plan do not make the detailed plan inconsistent
with the concept plan unless:
1. The change increases the residential densities, increases the lot
coverage by buildings or reduces the amount of parking;
2. The change reduces the amount of open space and landscaping;
3. The change involves a change in use;
4. The change commits land to development which is environmentally
sensitive or subject to a potential hazard; and
5. The change involves a major shift in the location of buildings,
proposed streets, parking lots, landscaping or other site
improvements.
Response: The proposed modification includes the addition of a 10’ rear yard covered
patio setback. No increases in residential densities, lot coverage by buildings, or
reductions in parking are proposed. No reductions in the amount of open space or
landscaping are proposed. The proposed modification does not change the uses within
the Planned Development. The proposed modification does not commit land to
development that is environmentally sensitive or subject to potential hazard without
obtaining approval from affected agencies. Proposed modification does not involve
major shifts in buildings, streets, parking lots, landscaping or other site improvements.
The detailed development plan remains in compliance with the concept plan.
B. All the provisions of the land division provisions, Chapters 18.420,
Partitions, and 18.430, Subdivisions, shall be met if applicable;
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with
Chapter 18.420 as it only adds a 10’ rear covered patio setback.
C. Except as noted, the provisions of the following chapters shall be utilized as
guidelines. A planned development need not meet these requirements
where a development plan provides alternative designs and methods, if
acceptable to the commission that promotes the purpose of this chapter. In
each case, the applicant must provide findings to justify the modification of
the standards in the chapters listed below. The applicant shall respond to
all the applicable criteria of each chapter as part of these findings and
clearly identify where their proposal is seeking a modification to the strict
application of the standards. For those chapters not specifically exempted,
the applicant bears the burden of fully complying with those standards,
unless a variance or adjustment has been requested.
Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with
the provisions of the chapters referenced above, as it only adds a 10’ rear covered
patio setback.
Planned Development Modification – West River Terrace Pacific Community Design, Inc.

March 29, 2016 Page 12
dedication or reservation of such area within the subdivision,
provided that the reservation or dedication is roughly proportional to
the impact of the subdivision on the park system. Where considered
desirable by the commission in accordance with adopted
comprehensive plan policies, and where a development plan of the
city does not indicate proposed public use areas, the commission
may require the dedication or reservation of areas within the
subdivision or sites of a character, extent and location suitable for
the development of parks or other public use, provided that the
reservation or dedication is roughly proportional to the impact of the
subdivision on the park system. The open space shall be conveyed in
accordance with one of the following methods:
a. Public ownership. Open space proposed for dedication
to the city must be acceptable to it with regard to the
size, shape, location, improvement and budgetary and
maintenance limitations. A determination of city
acceptance shall be made in writing by the parks &
facilities division manager prior to final approval.
Dedications of open space may be eligible for systems
development charge credits, usable only for the
proposed development. If deemed to be not
acceptable, the open space shall be in private
ownership as described below.
b. b. Private ownership. By conveying title (including
beneficial ownership) to a corporation, home
association or other legal entity, and granting a
conservation easement to the city in a form acceptable
by the city. The terms of the conservation easement
must include provisions for the following:
i. The continued use of such land for the intended
purposes;
ii. Continuity of property maintenance;
iii. When appropriate, the availability of funds
required for such maintenance;
iv. Adequate insurance protection; and
v. Recovery for loss sustained by casualty and
condemnation or otherwise. (Ord. 09-13; Ord.

1. Application forms. Type III applications shall be made on forms
provided by the director as provided by 18.390.080.E.1.
2. Content. Type III applications shall:
a. Include the information requested on the application form;
b. Address the relevant criteria in sufficient detail for review and
action;
c. Be accompanied by the required fee;
d. Include two sets of pre-stamped, pre-addressed envelopes for all
persons who are property owners of record as specified in
subsection C of this section. The records of the Washington County
Department of Assessment and Taxation shall be the official
records for determining ownership. The applicant shall
demonstrate that the most current assessment records have been
used to produce the notice list;
e. Include an impact study. The impact study shall quantify the
effect of the development on public facilities and services. The
study shall address, at a minimum, the transportation system,
including bikeways, the drainage system, the parks system, the
water system, the sewer system, and the noise impacts of the
development. For each public facility system and type of impact,
the study shall propose improvements necessary to meet city
standards and to minimize the impact of the development on the
public at large, public facilities systems, and affected private
property users. In situations where the community development
code requires the dedication of real property interests, the
applicant shall either specifically concur with the dedication
requirements, or provide evidence which supports the conclusion
that the real property dedication requirement is not roughly
proportional to the projected impacts of the development.
Response: A completed and signed application form and accompanying fee have been
submitted. A copy of the application form and check is provided in Exhibit A. This

Response: The proposed modification does not alter the project’s compliance with
this standard.
B. Development Standards. The provisions of the underlying base zone(s) shall
apply except as modified by this section. The specific development
standards contained in Subsection 18.350.060.C shall not apply. The
following specific development standards shall apply in their place.
3. Setbacks. The setback standards of the underlying base zone shall
not apply to any building on any lot, including those lots abutting
right-of-way, except as follows:
a. All buildings on lots along the eastern and northern perimeter of the
River Terrace Plan District abutting existing residential development,
or residentially-zoned land that is undeveloped or is in an easement
or tract, shall meet the setback standard of the underlying base zone
or the abutting zone, whichever provides the greater setback, on the
side of the lot abutting the perimeter. This standard may be met by
proposing an open space tract between the proposed development
and the abutting development or land.
b. All buildings shall meet the minimum requirements of the Oregon
Specialty Codes and the Oregon Fire Code.
c. All garages and carports shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet on
the side of the lot from which vehicle access is taken from a public
right-of-way. If vehicle access is taken from a private street or alley,
this setback may be reduced to 0 feet where proper clearances for
turning and backing movements are provided.
d. Where the applicant proposes to reduce the underlying base zone
setbacks for buildings on lots not included in Subsection B.3.a above,
the applicant shall specify the proposed setbacks on either a lot-by-
lot or area-wide basis.
Response: The proposed modification will add a 10’ rear yard setback for covered
patios. Rear covered patios are an option that homebuyers may select for front-loaded
detached single-family homes. This option would be made available for lots 83-113,
which are not located along the eastern or northern perimeter of the River terrace
Plan District abutting existing residential development or residentially zoned land.
This modification is shown in Table A below and on the Site Plan / Typical Lot Plan
(See Exhibit B). The proposed modification does not alter the projects compliance
with the minimum requirements of the Oregon Specialty Codes and the Oregon Fire
Code or the minimum 20’ garage setback from a public right-of-way.
