	A Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment to correct the City's Significant Wetlands and Stream Corridors Map in the vicinity of SW Dartmouth and Hwy 217. The Tigard City Council approved the Tri-County Shopping Center proposal (Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) 98-0002/Site Development Review (SDR) 98-0002/Planned Development Review (PDR) 98-0001/Sensitive Lands Review (SLR) 98-0002/Lot Line Adjustment (MIS) 98-0004), which approved a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Water Resources Overly District, including fill and mitigation of a approximately 1.41 acres of existing wetlands on the property, and other development. The resource maps were not revised as indicated in the findings for the decision. Meanwhile, Army Corps of Engineers and Department of State Lands permits were obtained and grading, filling and mitigation occurred even though the remainder of the development was not built. The Significant Habitat Areas map, based on the wetland inventory, is also in error and needs revision accordingly. Although Council's approval of CPA98-00002 legally amended the City's Significant Wetlands Map, the Director's application is to formally correct the error in mapping.
