Downtown Land Use and Design Standards Open House

-- Tigard Town Hall, 13125 SW Hall Blvd, Tigard, OR 97223

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.

Please come to the upcoming Downtown Open House on Wednesday, July 30, 2008, 6:30-8:00 P.M. at Tigard Town Hall (13125 SW Hall Blvd.), and learn about the proposed changes. The Open House is an opportunity for stakeholders to provide comments and feedback to staff before the public hearing process.

The draft design standards and zoning changes are available for review prior to the Open House online and at the Permit Center front desk at Tigard City Hall.

If you have any questions or want more information, please contact Associate Planner Sean Farrelly at 503-718-2420 or e-mail sean@tigard-or.gov.
