The Community Development department engaged the services of the Leland Consulting
Group, a real estate development and economics consultant, to provide an unbiased
professional opinion of the redevelopment potential of the Downtown Urban Renewal
District. The primary purpose of this report is to identify a strategy to guide
future development in Downtown Tigard and help the City and community partners
achieve Downtown planning goals and objectives set forth in the Tigard Downtown
Improvement Plan (TDIP), the City Center Urban Renewal Plan, and other relevant
planning documents.
The Development Strategy is based on a market reconnaissance, an assessment of
opportunities and constraints, and interviews with a number of Downtown stakeholders,
as well as developers with experience in housing and mixed use development.
The Strategy report finds that the City of Tigard is generally on the right track
in encouraging Downtown revitalization. Progress has been shown by such actions
as the adoption of the Tigard Downtown Improvement Plan and City Center Urban
Renewal Plan; upcoming infrastructure projects; and ongoing planning for
improvements to Fanno Creek Park and a public plaza. The report also found that
the Downtown is well located in the marketplace to attract high quality housing
and retail.
However, there are numerous physical and economic constraints to redevelopment.
The Development Strategy presents twenty-six recommendations to overcome these
challenges.
