Agenda Title: Tigard HOME (Housing, Opportunity, Mobility and Enterprise) Project Update
Authored By: Amber Gomez
Presented By: Associate Planner Gomez
Item Type: Update, Discussion, Direct Staff
Information
Explanation of Issue
Staff will provide an update on the Tigard HOME (Housing, Opportunity, Mobility, and Enterprise)
project engagement efforts and present recommended policy approaches.
Action Requested
No formal action is requested. Planning staff are providing Council with a briefing on community
engagement efforts and asking for feedback on the recommended policy approaches.
Background Information
The Tigard HOME (Housing, Opportunity, Mobility, and Enterprise) project community engagement
plan kicked off in June 2025. Engagement was split into three phases. The first phase went from June
through October 2025 and gathered input on the types of amenities, shops, and services residents
want in Tigard neighborhoods. The second phase went from November 2025 through June 2026 and
focused on residents' preferred building forms and locations for new neighborhood shops and
services. During these first two phases, staff engaged over 1,000 community members across 27
different events. The third, shorter phase is planned to begin and end later this summer. This phase
will seek feedback on the recommended policy approaches based on the first two phases of
community engagement.
This briefing will provide a summary of the second phase of community engagement, present key
takeaways and recommended policy approaches based on those efforts, outline next steps for the
project, and receive Council feedback on the policy approaches and final phase of engagement.
The recommended policy approaches address different business types allowed in neighborhoods and
the level of review they would require. They also address standards that would apply to the different
business types, in particular building design and business location.
Dates of Previous and Potential Future Considerations
Previous Considerations:
May 17, 2022: Introduction to the Tigard HOME project.
November 2022: Adoption of urban livestock regulations.
July 15, 2025: Briefing to reintroduce Tigard HOME and early community engagement efforts.
February 10, 2026: Briefing on summer 2025 through winter 2026 engagement efforts.
Future Considerations:
Fall 2026: Conclusions from Tigard HOME engagement phase and consideration for accepting and
endorsing the final HOME Community Engagement Report findings.
2027: Bring solutions for Council adoption.
Public Involvement:
Robust community engagement is the foundation of the Tigard HOME project. The success of Tigard
HOME relies on effective community engagement. We are focused on people who live in Tigard and
want engagement to reflect the diversity of our community. We want to ensure HOME solutions are
truly built by all community members, not just those who speak English or feel naturally comfortable
being part of government processes. Grant funding from Metro and the city's committed funding is
supporting creative engagement with Tigard community members who typically do not have their
voice heard.
The engagement plan uses multiple strategies to connect with our community. These strategies
include:
1. Hosting tables at events and locations throughout the city where residents are encouraged to
answer brief project-related questions. This activity helps staff introduce the HOME project to
the community in a welcoming and approachable way and direct interested residents to the
project's webpage for additional information and opportunities to engage.
2. Pop-up events in neighborhoods, where staff host an interactive and creative engagement
activity. This approach meets our community where they are and the pop-up events provide an
opportunity to demonstrate what activating a residential neighborhood with new uses could
look and feel like.
3. Targeted outreach by partnering with Community Based Organizations (CBOs) with
established ties in the community are instrumental in reaching voices not typically heard.
4. Community dinners that encourage residents to talk to staff about the Tigard HOME project.
Since June 2025, we have engaged the community at five targeted outreach events, sixteen tabling
events, three community dinners, and three pop-up events, with over 1,000 active participants in
engagement activities. In March, we held a focus group with members of the Asian Health &Services
Center, where we heard feedback on the types of business and amenities participants would like to
see in their neighborhoods, and where they'd like to see them. Most recently, we hosted a pop-up in a
greenspace along the Pathfinder-Genesis Trail. More than 40 people attended the pop-up and
provided feedback on locations and building forms for businesses in neighborhoods. The final phase
of community engagement will wrap up this summer.
Impacts (Community, Budget, Policies and Plans/Strategic Connection)
Community:The HOME project will allow for greater community-building and complete
neighborhoods throughout Tigard. Specific solutions will be built with community members only after
significant engagement identifies their top community priorities. Ultimately, this project should allow
for:
1. Community gatherings, amenities, services, and activities at a neighborhood scale.
2. Safe connections for all mobility types.
3. Generating activities closer to residents to make walking/biking/rolling more attractive.
4. Empowering homeowners and renters to use their property/home as they see fit while anticipating
and mitigating negative impacts for neighbors.
This project delivers on Community Promises for equity, engagement, and the environment.
Budget: No budget impacts at this time.
Policy Alignment and Plans:Tigard HOME supports Council Goal 1: Creating housing opportunities for
current and future residents. The Tigard HOME project will analyze the current residential zoning code
and consider changes to increase the variety of housing types, while balancing community input and
the infrastructure capacity needs of the city. The Tigard HOME project will provide opportunities to
expand the city's economic base with needed goods, services, and jobs in residential areas, thereby
addressing Council Goal 2. By bringing needed goods and services to neighborhoods, Tigard HOME will
reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT), resulting in enhanced environmental sustainability and
resilience. Increased housing, economic, and community-building opportunities will align with City
Council Goal 3: Cultivate Tigard as a great place to live, work, and play.
The tangible deliverable of this project is a set of policy and development code amendment
recommendations to be considered by City Council for adoption. Any final policy changes are at the
discretion of the City Council.
Alternatives& Recommendation
Staff is asking Council to provide direction on two points: proceed with developing regulations based
on the recommended policy approaches, and identify any particular elements of the recommended
policy approaches that staff should highlight when seeking feedback during the final phase of
community engagement.

This report summarizes the engagement activities conducted throughout the late fall of 2025 and winter of
2025/2026 for the Tigard HOME (Housing, Opportunity, Mobility, and Enterprise) planning project. It provides
an overview of the engagement events held from November 3, 2025, through January 21, 2026, community
input received, a brief update on graphics received from the storyteller consultant, and follow-up steps the
project team is taking based on the community input received.Appendices A and B contain the graphics
products created by the storyteller consultant and used in the engagement activities.
Engagement Strategies
Tigard HOME aims to do four types of engagement events throughout the course of the project:targeted
outreach events, community dinners, pop-up events, and tabling events.
• Targeted Community-based Organization (CBO) outreach events involve the engagement consultant,
Zan Associates, partnering with a community-based organization to develop an engagement event
suited to that community group. These may include focus groups, key informant interviews, tabling at
existing events, or presentations at meetings.
• Community dinners are events staged in different venues around Tigard that provide a free meal to
participants and interactive activities to participate in. Community dinners primarily involve engagement
consultant support from First Forty Feet.
Tigard HOME 1
• Tabling events feature project staff at existing events or high-traffic areas with an activity and incentives
to participate.
• Pop-up events will be staged at high-traffic locations with food trucks and interactive displays to attract
participants. Engagement activities will be designed in collaboration with the engagement and urban
design consultants.
Between November 2025 and January 2026, the Tigard HOME team hosted one targeted outreach event, one
community dinner, and three tabling events. The team has not yet hosted any pop-up events; the goal is to
host these in spring/summer 2026. Table 1 below summarizes the events by event type, title, date, location, and
number of activity participants. During the Fall/Winter 2025/2026 Community Engagement events, staff directly
engaged with over 100 community members, for a total of more than 800 active participants throughout the
length of the Tigard HOME project.

The following sections further describe the individual events and community input received.
Targeted Outreach Event
The Muslim Educational Trust (MET) is an organization that seeks to enrich the greater public's understanding
of Islam, serves the local Muslim community's needs, and operates a Pre-K— 5th grade Islamic school in Tigard.
This event consisted of a focus group with eight people, including six staff and two students at the school.
Participating community members were given gift cards for their time. The engagement method used in this
meeting was a guided discussion that started with participants looking at a set of 75 precedent images to help
them envision what their community could look like, then asking them what they like, don't like, need more of,
and would change to make Tigard more livable. Facilitators also specifically asked participants for their
opinions on building types, materials, mixed-use buildings, and preferred locations for businesses. No photos
were collected at this event due to participants' preference to remain anonymous.
Community Dinner
The city hosted a community dinner on January 12, 2026 from 6:30-8:30 PM at St.Anthony Catholic Church and
School. This particular event had to be postponed a few times due to difficulty in securing a location. Other
locations staff considered either fell through or did not end up being a good fit for a community event. St.
Tigard HOME 2
Anthony is a central location in Tigard within a Medium-High Disparity area' and directly across from a High
Disparity' and High Equity Need Area'. St. Anthony provides services in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. It
also operates an emergency food pantry and serves meals to anyone in need every Sunday.
The community dinner was held in the St. Anthony café, and coordinated through the church's Social Justice
Coordinator, Danny Rauda. The city provided dinner for participants.The event was timed to coincide with a
weekly meeting for a group that is interested in housing justice issues in Tigard, but it was open to everyone
and flyers were distributed in English and Spanish to advertise the event. There were several attendees who
were most comfortable speaking Spanish; the Social Justice Coordinator acted as a translator when needed,
and while project staff were speaking, St. Anthony provided a device that delivered live translations to an app
on participants' phones.
The urban design consultant, First Forty Feet, led the evening's activity, which consisted of a giant floor map of
the City of Tigard (see Appendix A). The map highlighted the project areas, existing commercial development,
landmarks, and major streets to help orient participants. Participants were given transparent discs and chalk
markers to identify locations where they would like to see (or not see) new shops and services, as well as sticky
notes to provide additional context. There were also a few informational boards around the room explaining
the Tigard HOME project, what input has been received so far from engagement events, and activity
instructions. Another board,which has also been used at previous engagement events, gave participants an
opportunity to use stickers to identify building features they would like to see incorporated with new shops
and services. Results from the stickers on the board are shown in Figure 4.The boards from the event are
included in Appendix B. Written materials were provided in both English and Spanish.

PREFERENCE SURVEY JARS
The first activity featured preference survey jars, where participants could place up to four pom-poms into jars
to indicate what building forms they would like to see if a new shop or service located in their neighborhood.
The four jars were labeled stand-alone commercial, adaptive reuse, two-story mixed use, and three-story mixed
use. Each jar had two images selected from the preference images developed by First Forty Feet to show
examples of the different building form types.This activity was utilized during both the Holiday Tree Lighting
and Tigard Public Library tabling events. Coloring sheets and crayons were available to kids who participated.
Figure 4 shows the results of the preference survey across the two events.All four building form types were
within four pom-pom counts of one another; three-story mixed use had the most pom-poms at 43, two-story
mixed use had 41, and stand-alone commercial and adaptive reuse had 39 each.

MAPPING ACTIVITY
The second activity featured a smaller version of the giant floor map developed by First Forty Feet. Participants
were encouraged to share where they would like to see new shops and services in existing Tigard
neighborhoods. This information could be written on a sticky note and placed on the map. This activity was
utilized at the Senior Center Lunch tabling event. Figure 5 shows the set up of the activity. Much of the
location-related input received during this event related to more shops and services near the Senior Center,
public library, and nearby corridors.

Community Input
This section summarizes the key takeaways from community input received during the winter engagement
timeframe. Though the current phase of engagement is more focused on gathering input related to building
forms and design and location preferences for potential new shops and services, the project team continues to
receive valuable information related to desired community amenities, barriers to using active modes of
transportation, and preferred types of businesses and services in Tigard neighborhoods.The key takeaways are
grouped into these categories accordingly.
AMENITIES
• Residents want to see community services and creative spaces, such as swimming pools,
community gardens, spaces for community arts programs, or a cultural museum. Participants
currently travel out of Tigard to places like Beaverton for pool access. Community
gardens provide tactile learning opportunities for children that contrast with typical park activities.
• Artistic elements, murals, and colorful streetscapes would make Tigard feel more vibrant and less
monotonous. Participants want community identity markers and interesting architecture integrated
into walls and infrastructure, noting they rarely see creative pieces and want to "walk outside and enjoy
what I'm seeing."
• Downtown Tigard lacks parking and compelling walkable destinations. Participants
suggest placing parking facilities that offer free parking within 10-minute walks of clustered
services, similar to the Old Town where everything is in one place.
• Little Free Libraries should be more prevalent and potentially placed at bus stops where people
are already waiting.These could also include community shelves for food sharing and provide small-
scale gathering points with benches.
Tigard HOME 6
• Grade-separated bike lanes, paved, car-free trails, and complete sidewalk networks are essential
for family safety. Many areas lack sidewalks and participants don't feel comfortable biking with
children on streets. Participants like Fanno Creek but think it could use width upgrades and flood
prevention measures.
BARRIERS
• Hall Boulevard, Bull Mountain Road, and Gaarde Street in particular were identified as barriers to
active transportation. Residents have concerns about unsafe crossings on these streets.
• Need to ensure safe routes to schools, parks, shops, and future small-scale commercial nodes. If
people are going to walk to these destinations, they need to feel safe doing so.
DESIRED TYPES OF BUSINESSES & SERVICES
• Late-night, family friendly gathering spaces are critically needed for Muslim community
members who observe different schedules around holidays and cultural practices. Participants
emphasized the lack of cafes, tea houses, or non-bar establishments open after sunset, noting "we get
kicked out of places because we stay up late." A free, public indoor community center would serve as an
essential "third place" for year-round gathering, especially during rainy weather.
• Clear preference to avoid more self-storage facilities locating in the area. There is a desire to shift
toward neighborhood-serving uses rather than low-intensity single-use development.
• Strong desire for teen-focused hangouts and places for youth to gather safely. There is a large
population of young folks south of Pacific Highway that could benefit from a youth center.
BUILDING FORMS & DESIGN
• Natural building materials, including wood and brick combinations, help residents feel connected
to Oregon's regional identity. Participants want visual variety and diverse building types rather than
"bland universal design," with strong preference for smaller-scale development over tall buildings that
block views.
• No strong consensus on preferred building form based on the preference survey tabling activity.
Some participants like how "cute" and "quaint" the stand-alone commercial and adaptive reuse
examples were, and felt they might support small local businesses well. Others thought the three-story
mixed use options were needed to accommodate density, housing, and commercial space, but some
had concerns the commercial spaces might sit empty. Many participants commented that they liked all
the examples shown.
• Residents that like the character of their neighborhood as-is expressed interest in infill
commercial, garage conversion development, and accessory commercial units. One person
brought up the example of the small coffee shop COTTA in SW Portland and how small stores like this
can create a sense of community.
Tigard HOME 7
LOCATION PREFERENCES
• Small, local businesses that are clustered together and feel neighborhood-oriented are
desired. Participants want more developments like Universal Plaza with diverse options in one area that
encourage repeat visits and create gathering places rather than requiring driving between destinations.
• Placement of complementary services (coffee shops near parks, family restaurants) near
recreation facilities would reduce car dependency. Some destinations mentioned were Woodard
Park, Summerlake Park, the library, trailhead intersections, and Cook Park. The current environment is
"too quiet," with lack of visual interest and multi-purpose engagement. Stand-alone destinations that
only meet one need per trip discourage walking even short distances.
• Some community members expressed a desire for minimal change, with a focus on protecting
existing natural resources, expanding open space and wildlife corridors, and preserving the character
of creeks, wetlands, and wooded areas.
• There is a lack of restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores in the neighborhoods south of Pacific
Highway. The area south of Durham Road, near Cook Park, was highlighted as missing desired shops
and services.
Graphics Update from Storyteller Consultant
As noted above, First Forty Feet is the Tigard HOME storyteller consultant. During this engagement period, First
Forty Feet created the large illustrated map (see Appendix A), poster boards (Appendix B), and activity used at
the community dinner. The map was also shrunk down to be used at tabling events. Examples of the graphics
can be seen in Figures 1-3 and 6 above.
Next Steps
The first phase of engagement for the Tigard HOME project focused on what residents want to see in their
neighborhoods: what types of businesses and services they want to be able to walk, bike, or roll to, and what
types of amenities they want on streets leading to and featuring these businesses and services. The second
phase of engagement, which started in November 2025, has shifted to focus more on how residents want the
desired businesses to fit into their neighborhoods, as well as where they should be allowed. Through focus
groups, preference surveys, and mapping activities, the project team has sought input on potential building
form, size, and design of new shops and services in residential areas, as well as where residents would like to
see this type of development.This type of engagement will continue for several months to gain input from a
variety of community members in order to best inform proposed changes to the Tigard Development Code.
As engagement continues, First Forty Feet will work to refine graphics and activities to best capture the input
needed to inform code changes. They will develop visualizations to help the community envision what new
shops and services in their neighborhoods could look like, and what they would like to see differently. During
this time, the project manager will continue code framing to identify chapters and code sections that will likely
need updates based on what the community has shared so far. The project manager is also researching
development codes of other cities to identify code examples that could apply well to Tigard HOME.
Tigard HOME 8
As was described in the Summer Community Engagement Report, the goal of Tigard HOME engagement is to
reflect the diversity of the community and to make sure HOME solutions are truly built by all community
members, not just those who speak English and/or feel naturally comfortable being part of government
processes. So far, Tigard HOME engagement has reached several diverse groups and the project team is
continuing to strategically plan engagement efforts to further connect with these communities, as well as to
reach those who have not yet been engaged. The project team is actively planning the next set of engagement
events. Staff is currently working with the engagement consultant, Zan Associates, to schedule a targeted
outreach event with Asian Health & Services Center, which serves significant Korean, Mandarin, and Vietnamese
speaking communities. Staff are also planning to host a table at an affordable housing complex's weekly coffee
hour. Future engagement events will aim to cover a broader geographic area of the city, with an emphasis on
the High Equity Need Areas identified in the City of Tigard Safe Streets Action Plan.

y caminables, donde personas de todas las edades y capacidades puedan acceder
facilmente a tiendas y servicios cotidianos.
Estamos buscando su opinion para ayudar a actualizar el Codigo de Desarrollo de Tigard
y orientar donde podrian ubicarse pequenos negocios a escala de vecindario.

WE WANT TO HEAR
FROM YOU !
Let's explore your neighborhood — and imagine
what it could become!
• Select a medallion + choose a marker - Select a medallion and choose a
marker —add as many as you'd like to the map!
• Find your spot - Locate your neighborhood or a familiar area on the big
Tigard map. Use parks, schools, or familiar streets to get oriented.
• Explore Walk Distances - Use the walk distance templates to see what's
within a 5-minute walk. Take a quick "walk" on the map from your home
to places you already visit — parks, schools, churches, libraries, shops, or
community centers. Notice where distances overlap or reveal gaps in access.
• Dream Up New Spots u Place medallions where you'd love to see new or
improved shops, services, or gathering places. Use sticky notes to add ideas
or details — like "family-friendly," "local," "outdoor seating," or "better
lighting."
• Mark What to Protect Use sticky notes for streets or corners that should
stay calm or residential, and add a note explaining why it matters to you
• Share Your Thoughts - Write a quick idea or story. "This would help
because..."
• Step Back & Compare - See how everyone's ideas connect — find patterns,
overlaps, and new possibilities!

,QUEREMOS SABER DE USTED!
;Exploremos su vecindario y imaginemos en que
podria convertirse!
• Seleccione un medallon y elija un marcador — agregue tantos como
lesee at maps!
• Encuentre su Lugar - Ubique su vecindario o un area conocida en el gran
mapa de Tigard. Use parques, escuelas o calles familiares para orientarse.
• Explorar distancias a pie Use las plantillas de distancia a pie para ver
que esta dentro de un recorrido de 5 minutos. Haga un "paseo" rapido en el
mapa desde su casa hasta lugares que ya visita: parques, escuelas, iglesias,
bibliotecas, tiendas o centros comunitarios. Observe donde se superponen las
distancias o se revetan brechas en el acceso.
• Cree nuevos lugares - Coloque medallones donde le gustaria ver nuevas
tiendas, servicios o lugares de encuentro mejorados. Use notas adhesivas para
agregar ideas o detalles, como "familiar," "local," "con asientos al aire Libre" o
"mejor ituminacion."
• Marque to que desea proteger - Use notas adhesivas para calles o
esquinas que deberian mantenerse tranquilas o residenciales, y agregue una
nota explicando porque es importante para usted.
• Comparta sus ideas Escriba una idea o historia breve: "Esto ayudaria
porque...
• Retroceda y compare - Vea como se conectan las ideas de todos:
iencuentre patrones, coincidencias y nuevas posibilidades!
