HBA serving on Tigard Development Advisory Committee, addressing proposed code development updates

As part of a Development Advisory Committee, the HBA recently met with the City of Tigard to work on updating its residential development codes. The meeting addressed how the city should measure lot width and frontage. The HBA reviewed the proposed code updates, and offered suggestions to address issues with the proposal. Following the meeting, Tigard staff updated the proposal with the discussed changes. In summary, the proposed updates with the changes addressed at the Development Advisory Committee include:  

  • Lot width is measured in two different ways to address lots with straight and curved front lot lines.  
     
  • Lot frontage requirements are increased for standard lots (40 ft.) with reductions for flag lots (15 ft.), row house lots (15 ft.), lots with curved front lot lines (20 ft.), and lots at the terminus of a private street (20 ft.)   
     
  • Flag lot access is required through a flag lot pole. Flag lot access through an easement is no longer allowed
     
  • Lots are required to be rectilinear where practicable with an upper limit on how much a side or rear lot line can vary from being straight.
     
  • And finally, it is important to note that where a standard can’t be met or more flexibility is desired, this package of amendments also includes a new general adjustment that would give a developer the ability to potentially adjust any of these standards.

The first public hearing of the proposal before the Planning Commission is on Monday, November 5th. Contact James Adkins (james@hbapdx.org) if you have thoughts on would like more information on the proposed code updates.
