Proposed Code Amendments On-Line Comment Sheet Draft Land Use and Design Standards Questions and Comments received @ the Open House Virtual Open House

The Downtown Open House was held on Wednesday, July 30, 2008, at Tigard Town Hall. The Open House was an opportunity for stakeholders to provide comments and feedback to staff before the public hearing process. You can now view the material that was displayed at this meeting using the virtual Open House link.

The Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan (TDIP) provides a 20 to 30 year blueprint that will guide the development of Downtown Tigard into a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented urban village.

The next major Downtown project is to update the Tigard Development Code, as recommended by the TDIP and the Downtown Development Strategy. City staff, working with citizen volunteers, produced the draft code language. The land use regulations and zoning map changes will promote well-designed new development in the Downtown and assure the viability and continuation of existing businesses. While the new regulations primarily address new development, all properties in the Downtown Urban Renewal District would be affected to some degree.

The draft design standards and zoning changes can be viewed here and at the Permit Center front desk at Tigard City Hall.
