SUMMARY/ORGANIZATION The Evergreen plan contains the following sections: • Land Use: Residential • Land Use: Commercial • Transportation--Walking and Biking, Parking and"A"Avenue • Open Spaces, Scenic &Historic Areas &Natural Resources • Parks and Recreation Staff has analyzed the ENP to determine its conformance with applicable decision- making criteria. It has been determined that the goals,policies and City action items from the neighborhood plan comply with these criteria and the general policies of the City of Lake Oswego. It is proposed that the Planning Commission recommend the Plan for adoption by the City Council and suggest the inclusion of three additions to Chapter 12,the City's Transportation Systems Plan(TSP). Staff's analysis of the plan consists of two parts: • 1. A chapter by chapter summary of major issues, and 2. Specific findings and conclusions that show how the neighborhood plan and • additions to the TSP comply with all applicable Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies, Statewide Planning Goals, and Metro Functional Plan requirements. IV. SUMMARY OF MAJOR ISSUES-EVERGREEN NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN A. CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT During the two years it took to develop the neighborhood plan, the Evergreen neighborhood planning committee made significant efforts to involve the neighborhood in development and review of the neighborhood plan. The process of developing the Evergreen Neighborhood Plan(ENP)began in the spring of 2003. The Evergreen Neighborhood Coordinating Council identified the need for a neighborhood plan. A five member planning committee was named at a neighborhood meeting on June 12, 2003. Their work for the next five months culminated at a general neighborhood meeting in December 2003 where small groups discussed a list of issues, concerns, and opportunities, deleting some and adding or changing others. A draft plan, developed from this input,was presented • for public review at another general meeting in June 2004. Planning Commission Public Hearing 3 LU 05-0040 August 8,2005 In August, 2004 the Evergreen Neighborhood Coordinating Council applied to the City of Lake Oswego to have the neighborhood plan reviewed and approved by • the City Council. Staff from the Lang Range Planning Division began working with the planning committee. Special efforts were made to include the business community in the development of the Plan. A business mixer was held in March, 2005 at Tucci's Restaurant downtown. Multiple owners from that establishment also attended neighborhood planning committee meetings to contribute to the production of relevant chapters. The planning committee worked with City staff and provided new draft chapters for review at the March, 2005 Evergreen Neighborhood Association general membership meeting. A second open house to share the full plan was held at another general meeting on July 24, 2005. Notice for both general meetings was provided by written correspondence to all property owners within the Evergreen neighborhood. B. NEIGHBORHOOD VISION The neighborhood's vision for itself primarily addresses the preservation and enhancement of the elements of the neighborhood's character which its residents identified as particularly important. Those include: • Small-town atmosphere • Broad range of housing type and price levels • Pedestrian Safety; 110 • Walkability; • Convenient and safe bicycle travel; • Economic vitality; • Convenience of shopping and recreation for residents; • Preservation of historic development patterns; and • Preservation of natural resources C. LAND USE: RESIDENTIAL The Evergreen Neighborhood Plan does not propose to change the neighborhood's existing Plan or Zoning Map designations. Rather, a major emphasis of the Plan is to maintain the neighborhood's single-family residential character and enhance those elements that contribute to its residents' quality of life. The first chapter sets the following goal for residential land use: • Maintain and enhance the appearance and character of the residential areas of the Evergreen neighborhood. This neighborhood plan goal mirrors an existing policy in the City's Comprehensive Plan • (LOCP)while focusing on the unique character and appearance of Evergreen's residential properties. Planning Commission Public Hearing 4 LU 05-0040 August 8,2005 s IIIThis chapter also suggests the creation of two policy statements 1) "Work to ensure that development occurs in a way that is compatible with the unique character of the Evergreen neighborhood." 2) "Preserve the existing fabric of the neighborhood by developing incentives to remodel existing homes,where feasible, instead of tearing down and rebuilding single-family, detached residential properties." This neighborhood plan policy is a restatement of policy 4b from the City's Comprehensive Plan, Goal 2, Land Use Planning. This policy states, "Require land use regulations to: Promote compatibility between development and existing and desired neighborhood character." The Evergreen neighborhood has defined their unique character with a set of Neighborhood Design Objectives. The Lake Oswego Community Development Code provides for the consideration of neighborhood design objectives or guidelines when applying the criteria for compatibility during the review of an application for Residential Infill Design(RID)review (LOC 50.72.020). Otherwise these objectives do not have a formal application. The Community Development Code does not provide a formal way for a neighborhood to define their own character beyond the aforementioned section of the RID review • standards. The action items discussed in this chapter include a directive for the City to work with the neighborhood to create with a draft set of Design Objectives to serve as a guide for RID review applications. This action is complete at the time of plan approval. A draft has been developed with the neighborhood planning committee and made part of the ENP. An action item directs the Evergreen Neighborhood Association(ENA) to finalize the draft and provide updates as needed. Additionally, the neighborhood envisions the creation of an R-7.5 Overlay zone that would create particular Community Development Code requirements for the portion of neighborhood within the R-7.5 designation. The neighborhood plan committee would like to pursue the approval of this overlay immediately proceeding the approval of their plan. They would like to reduce the height of the front setback plane from 20 feet to 16 in order to create 1 %2 story buildings and they would like to require that all accessory structures have the same roof pitch as the primary structure. Draft language is attached to this report. The plan directs the City to develop an incentive to encourage the rehabilitation of 50+ year old homes in the neighborhood similar to that which is currently under discussion in Old Town. However, those proposed amendments are currently on hold. Staff suggests waiting for the results of that process and the results of the Infill taskforce where this IIIissue might also receive attention. Planning Commission Public Hearing 5 LU 05-0040 August 8,2005 Last, the neighborhood would like to require street tree planting(one tree every 50 feet of street frontage) for all new residential development. LOC 50.47.010(4) [Landscaping, Screening and Buffering Development Standard], applicable for all major development, currently provides: "All development abutting streets shall provide street trees at the proper spacing for the species." Staff has asked that a new requirement of street tree planting(one tree every 50 feet of street frontage) for all new residential development be considered as a City-wide requirement in the R-7.5 and other residential zones. Staff recommends the inclusion of this request into the 2005 Community Development Code text amendments. Their approval would require a City-wide Measure 56 notice. It is more logical to group this suggestion with other code amendments that require similar noticing. D. LAND USE: COMMERCIAL The ENP focuses special attention on the Commercial area of the neighborhood in this section of the plan. The plan expresses the neighborhood's interest in supporting businesses success and development in downtown while maintaining the area's workability and village character. This chapter includes two goals: 110 • Promote the village atmosphere of the Downtown Business District. • Maintain and support neighborhood-serving businesses in the Downtown Business District. Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan Comprehensive Plan Goal 2, Land Use Planning, Section 2,Community Design and Aesthetics says, "The City shall maintain and enhance the appearance and design quality of Lake Oswego." The first neighborhood plan goal mirrors this goal with a specific focus on maintaining a village-like appearance Downtown, something supported by regulations in the Community Development Code, Downtown Redevelopment District Design Standards (LOC 50.65). LOC 50.65.020 defines Village Character as, A community of small scale structures that appears and operates like a traditional small town. A village is typically composed of an assembly of smaller mixed used structures often centered on a • square of other public space or gathering area,such as a body of Planning Commission Public Hearing 6 LU 05-0040 August 8,2005 • water, a transportation route or a landmark building. Adherence to village character is not intended to require an historical reproduction of a turn of the century small town,but rather to encourage the development of a sophisticated small city that is pedestrian friendly, creates a sense of community and attracts people to the downtown in the same manner and using similar design concepts as historic small towns and neighborhood centers. The second neighborhood plan goal is not previously addressed in the LOCP. The closest is Comprehensive Plan, Goal 9: Economic Development, Policy 10, which directs the City to Designate the Downtown and Lake Grove Commercial Districts as the primary centers of general commercial activity in Lake Oswego. This chapter of the ENP proposes one policy: 1) Maintain a balance of commercial uses in the Downtown Business District between those that provide for the frequently reoccurrin needs' of nearby residents and those that cater to wider community needs'. Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan Policy 17 directs the City to allow mixed use development within the Downtown and the Lake Grove Business Districts to provide opportunities for commercial, entertainment,professional, cultural,public, and residential • activities. Regional draw business other than those providing specialized services and unique goods shall not be located in these districts. Neither of these policies, however, addresses the mix of commercial activity. This new goal directs the City to address this mix by maintain a percentage of businesses that cater to nearby neighbors while also supporting with those who cater to community-wide needs. There are two action items with City responsibility which deserve attention because they suggest the development of new code language in the Downtown Redevelopment District Design Standards (LOC 50.66). The two items are: I. Working with the Evergreen Neighborhood Association and the First Addition Neighborhood Association,prepare for Planning Commission review policies to assure that the design of new development in the East End Commercial (EC) zone,particularly on A Avenue, does not encourage delivery trucks to travel on streets within Evergreen's R-7.5 zone. II. Working with the Evergreen Neighborhood Association and the First Addition Neighborhood Association,prepare for Planning Commission review a Development Standard requiring `Frequently Reoccurring Needs(for goods and services):The continuous demand for goods and services that are used on a regular basis such as food,drugs,dry cleaning,etc.These are often referred to as convenience goods and services. [Definition provided in the Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan] • 2 Community Needs(for goods and services):These are needs which encompass the range of goods and services desired by the market area defined by Lake Oswego's Urban Services Boundary. [Definition provided in the Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan] Planning Commission Public Hearing 7 LU 05-0040 August 8,2005 development of%2 acre or greater in the EC zone that will include 35,000 or more square feet of total retail space to conduct a three • part traffic study that measures the full impact of the development on surrounding streets. The developer shall conduct the required studies and measure traffic volumes on all neighborhood streets in the direct vicinity of the project including those that lead to minor and major collectors. The studies shall occur at: a. The time the permit is sought (to establish a baseline); b. At 50%occupancy; and c. 1 year after the second study. E. TRANSPORTATION In this chapter of the ENP, neighbors discuss various specific areas related to Transportation in the neighborhood. There are four sections in this chapter and they are: • Local Residential Streets • Alternative Transportation: Walking, Biking and Transit • Parking • "A" Avenue • The transportation system within the Evergreen Neighborhood consists entirely of local residential streets except for State Highway 43,which forms the eastern boundary of the Neighborhood, and "A" Avenue which bounds the neighborhood to the north. However, some of these local streets serve the businesses of the Downtown District. The neighborhood addresses both those streets which provide access and parking to the businesses in the neighborhood as well as those which only serve (or are intended to only serve) residential neighbors. In the first section of this chapter, the neighborhood establishes a goal with three parts: • Create and maintain narrow, village-like streets that: a. Increase safety and aesthetic satisfaction for pedestrians; b. Promote slow moving vehicular traffic; and c. Reduce contaminated storm water runoff into lakes, rivers and streams. Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation, Goal 3: Neighborhood Collectors and Local Residential Streets, addresses neighborhood collector and local residential streets with the following goal, "Lake Oswego shall develop a system of neighborhood collectors and local residential streets which preserves the quiet,privacy 411 Planning Commission Public Hearing 8 LU 05-0040 August 8,2005 and safety of neighborhood living and which has adequate but not excessive capacity, necessary to accommodate planned land uses." The goal the Evergreen Neighborhood Plan proposes is similar,but is more specific. The ENP goal, • specifically addresses the neighborhood; • links capacity with street width (narrow); • defines the character of the street(village-like); • specifically defines speed as a factor of safety; and • adds a goal of contaminated storm water runoff reduction. There are three policies proposed in this section: 1) Promote the planting of street tree species that will mature to produce a canopy over the street. 2) Maintain the existing narrow pavement area on Evergreen's neighborhood streets except where additional width is necessary for pedestrian or bicycle safety. 3) Develop "green streets"in the Evergreen neighborhood to reduce contaminated storm water run off through the use of natural vegetation, • rocks, unpaved shoulders. City to Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan Goal 12: Transportation mentioned above provides direction regarding the development of a system which preserves quiet, privacy and safety. Policy 6c under that goal also says: 6. The City and neighborhood associations shall jointly plan for the use of public rights-of-ways in residential neighborhoods. Uses within rights-of-way shall be supportive of the multi-use function of neighborhood streets and may include: c. Urban design, public utility, safety and beautification elements such as street trees,public seating, street lights, wheelchair ramps and sidewalk extensions. The ENP policies in this chapter reinforce that goal while adding specificity by addressing the narrow pavement area which the neighborhood seeks to maintain. Additionally, the neighborhood includes a policy related to the creation of green streets in the neighborhood which they define as interventions (natural vegetation, rocks, unpaved shoulders)to reduce contaminated storm water runoff. Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan Goal 6, Section 2: Water Resources Quality includes policies that direct the City to: • Planning Commission Public Hearing 9 LU 05-0040 August 8,2005 • Protect the natural surface water drainage systems and enhance water • quality by treating and controlling run-off and pollution at the source (Policy 1). • Favor the use of the natural drainage system and other non-structural methods to treat, convey and dispose of run-off(Policy 2). While similar to these existing policies, the ENP policy directs the City to employ a specific technique for treating, conveying and disposing of water run-off and supports the construction such projects in the Evergreen neighborhood. The sections of this chapter offer many ideas in the form of action items for addressing the stated goals. The neighborhood asks the City to work with them through the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program and the recent Transportation Management Plan for Downtown Neighborhoods to identify hazardous areas and make improvements to increase safety. The plan supports the installation of walking paths in certain areas including I Oth Street, Evergreen and small section of Berwick Road as it approaches Ellis near Berwick Court. Staff recommends the addition of these three locations for future pathways into the Transportation Systems Plan(TSP) in Chapter 12: Transportation of the City of Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan. Business owners who participated in the creation of the EPN emphasized the importance • of adequate and accessible parking for their customers and employees. While current development standards for parking where found to be sufficient, it was agreed that additional, free,public parking should be made available to support continued growth in the downtown area. Neighbors on 3rd and 4th streets who report overflow during periods of high demand also support the creation of additional public parking. Multiple action items have already received attention from City staff. An action item in this chapter of the plan asks the City to conduct a parking analysis of the downtown area to evaluate the level of overflow parking into the neighborhood and its likelihood in the future as growth continues. This work is already underway as part of the Transportation Management Plan for Downtown Neighborhoods. The neighborhood plan asks also for attention to the signal at 4th Street and"A"to increase safety for pedestrians in the crosswalks. As a result, staff recently installed a delay in the signal at this intersection to add a few seconds to the cross time on"A"Avenue for pedestrians. Response to the change has been mostly favorable. F. OPEN SPACES, HISTORIC &NATURAL AREAS Oswego Lake and the wetland that extends from it into the neighborhood are two of the most important natural features of the Evergreen Neighborhood. The Evergreen Neighborhood has a forested wetland of significant size tucked behind existing homes. Other homes in the neighborhood and Millennium Plaza Park, enjoy views and access to • the Lakewood Bay portion of Oswego Lake. The goal for this chapter says, Planning Commission Public Hearing 10 LU 05-0040 August 8,2005 • • The Evergreen neighborhood seeks to restore and protect the neighborhood's wetland area. Like others in the ENP, this is a restatement of an existing City-wide goal tailored for the Evergreen neighborhood. Goal 6 of the LOCP, Open Space,Historic and Natural Resources, Section 3, Wetlands says, "The City shall protect, maintain, enhance and restore wetlands." There are no Comprehensive Plan policies developed for this goal nor action items for the City, only action items directed toward the Neighborhood Association. These include creating a position within the neighborhood association to serve as a liaison to City staff for natural resource protection. This individual will attend trainings and share information with property owners who abut those natural resources. The ENP directs the association to support providing fishing piers in the Lake despite the fact that the City is currently opposed to that practice. (The inclusion of Association action items in a Neighborhood Plan should not be construed to be a statement of support by the City's policy-making bodies [Planning Commission and City Council] to those Association action items; it is merely a listing of the action items for implementation by the Association.) There is also a short section related to the Lakewood Bay Community Club (LBCC) and easement which directs the neighborhood association to increase and maintain on-going communication with the LBCC Board. • G. PARKS AND RECREATION The Evergreen Neighborhood values their proximity to Millennium Plaza Park and the access it provides to views of Lakewood Bay, open spaces for public enjoyment and City-wide concerts and events. This chapter of the ENP is divided into two sections, one focused on the open space area at Third Street and Evergreen and the other on Millennium Plaza Park. There are no new goals or policies proposed by this chapter, only suggested action items for the City and Neighborhood Association. Those action items include a request for information by the Association about changes to the use of the open space area and a suggestion that at least a small area be maintained through any future development for a neighborhood park. Action items in the Millennium Plaza Park section revolve around its management,particularly during large events and concerts. The neighborhood would like to see more shade trees provided, which are included in the City's current expansion plan for the park. Also the ENP asks that the Association be allowed to hold at least two events,without fee, in the park each year. V.

CONSISTENCY WITH METRO'S URBAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONAL PLAN The Metro Urban Growth Functional Plan was approved November 21, 1996 by the Metro Council, and became effective February 19, 1997. The purpose of the plan is to implement the Regional Urban Growth Goals and Objectives (RUGGO), including the 2040 Growth Concept. The Functional Plan must be addressed when Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments are proposed through the quasi-judicial or legislative processes. The following responses address compliance with the Metro Functional Plan. Response: Title 1 —Accommodation of Growth. This title requires changing local plans, if necessary, to increase permitted densities to assure sufficient capacity for the 2040 Growth Concept. The Evergreen Neighborhood Plan is consistent with this title in that it maintains current Plan and Zoning Map densities within the . Neighborhood Boundaries. Overall, the City of Lake Oswego has found that the Planning Commission Public Hearing 15 LU 05-0040 August 8,2005 City's current zoning designations when developed at allowed densities are in • substantial compliance with this title. Title 2—Regional Parking Policy. This title regulates the amount of parking permitted by use for jurisdictions in the Metro region. This title is not applicable to the neighborhood plan. Title 3 —Water Quality and Flood Management Conservation. The proposed neighborhood plan is consistent with the this title in that it recognizes and calls for the protection of Goal 5 resource lands designated by the City. The neighborhood plan also promotes the enhancement and of water quality measures, through the adoption of policies specific to the neighborhood. Title 4—Retail in Employment and Industrial Areas. This Title does not apply. Title 5 —Neighbor Cities and Rural Reserves defines Metro's policy regarding areas outside of the Urban Growth Boundary. This site is within the Urban Growth Boundary; therefore, this Title does not apply. Title 6—Regional Accessibility. This title recognizes the link between mode split, levels of congestion, street design and connectivity in creating a transportation system that works and supports the desired land use concept. The title is intended to establish an interconnected road system in undeveloped areas • to reduce trips and encourage alternative modes of travel. This title is only partly applicable to the Evergreen Neighborhood. The Neighborhood consists of an older established urban area and its road system is in built and in place. However, the Neighborhood calls for improvements to the existing transportation system to increase safety for all those who use the transportation system. Therefore the neighborhood plan is consistent with this Title. Title 7—Affordable Housing. This title is advisory only and recommends that local jurisdictions implement tools to facilitate development of affordable housing. Adoption of the neighborhood plan will facilitate development of affordable housing by encouraging preservation of existing housing stock and development at the existing allowed density. Title 8, 9, and 10 require compliance,performance measures and definitions for implementation of the Functional Plan, and are not applicable. Conclusion: The Evergreen Neighborhood Plan complies with the relevant Titles of the Metro Functional Plan COMPLIANCE WITH THE OREGON TRANSPORTATION PLANNING RULE(CHAPTER 660,DIVISION 12) • Planning Commission Public Hearing 16 LU 05-0040 August 8,2005 • This State of Oregon Administrative Rule applies to amendments to comprehensive plans, functional plans and land use regulations(OAR 660-12- 060(1)). The rule is applicable because the application requests amendment of the City of Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan. OAR 660-12-060(1) and(2)provides as follows: (1) Amendments to comprehensive plans,functional plans and land use regulations which significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity and level of service of the facility. This shall be accomplished by either: (a) limiting allowed land uses to be consistent with the plan functions, capacity and level of service of the transportation facility; (b) amending the TSP[Transportation System Plan] to provide transportation facilities adequate to support the proposed land uses consistent with the requirements of this division; (c) altering land use designations, densities, or design requirements to reduce demand for automobile travel and meet travel needs through other modes. (2) A land use regulation amendment significantly affects the transportation facility if it: (a) changes the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; (b) changes a standard implementing a • functional classification system; (c) allows types or levels of land uses which would result in levels of travel or access which are inconsistent with the functional classification of a transportation facility; or (d) would reduce the level of service of the facility below the minimum acceptable level identified in TSP. " Findings/Conclusion: OAR 660-12-060(1) and(2) is not applicable because the Evergreen Neighborhood Plan does not propose to change land use designations or the functional classification of streets within the neighborhood association's boundaries. OREGON STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS Goal 1, Citizen Involvement, Goal 2, Land Use Planning; Goal 5, Open Spaces, Historic, &Natural Areas; Goal 12, Transportation.

"A" Street is the north boundary. Lakewood Bay forms the boundary on the south. The east end of the neighborhood is primarily commercial, as is "A"Avenue from State Street to 7t'' Street. Adjoining the east end commercial district are several blocks zoned high density residential, including occupant—owned townhouses and apartments. Predominantly, however, the neighborhood is single family residential, dominated by many trees and with a variety of housing styles. Evergreen is a complete, integrated community, with shopping, dinin churches, g P � g Y� g> recreation and regional transit, all within easy walking distance, making it feel like a safe, convenient, friendly small town . It is a unique and desirable place to live, work and visit. la- al Commercial areas are alive and well, with businesses offering a wealth of quality, affordable goods and services. Supermarkets and restaurants complete the "mix" for a self—sufficient community. New development architecture is high—quality, and public art is displayed on downtown streets. Having the Lake Oswego City Hall and Police Station located in the Neighborhood is a great convenience. The community Post Office m is only a block away. , Recreation opportunities abound. The Lakewood Bay Easement provides swimming, I `, boating and other water-oriented opportunities for many neighbors. Family picnics arew W held at a small green space on 3rd Street. Millennium Park Plaza is the focal point for a Farmers' Market, outdoor concerts, and other special events. The City Library and Adult Community Center are close by; a cinema and wonderful live theater are only a few blocks to the South. The community's residential areas are quiet and restful. Contributing to the quality of life are: a diversity of housing styles, a village atmosphere, pedestrian-friendly narrow streets with canopies of trees, lakefront access, green spaces and safe access to public transit and commercial areas. Evergreen Road is a particularly pleasant and useful walking street, with complete east—west connections between residential, commercial and recreational areas. Our Vision for Evergreen Wes see our neighborhood as an interrelated community with economic vitality and the compact activities of daily living within walking distance. We want to maintain and enhance the things we hold dear, including pedestrian safety, and the convenience of shopping and recreation. We value the small town atmosphere with the broad range of • housing types and price levels to bring people of diverse ages and incomes into daily interaction. DRAFT- JUNE '05 INTRODUCTION I Challenges will include dealingwith g higher levels of activity relating to commerce and • Lake Oswego area growth, with the resulting traffic and housing pressures. Preservation of the historical patterns of the neighborhood and conservation of the natural III environment will be critical. Key action areas to maintain and improve the Neighborhood include enhancing street design, especially Evergreen Road, for walking and bicycling safety, formalizing and • improving the Evergreen/3rd Street park, working with the City and developers to influence the mix and impact of commerce, and ensuring that Evergreen remain an authentic community with architectural projects seamlessly linked to the surrounding neighborhood. M This is our vision for the Evergreen Neighborhood. m . : x rn , t '' do -.,. , Y': :.. A"'''' ..

The program was designed to go beyond the general guidance in the City's Comprehensive Plan, in order to address more localized and specific neighborhood needs. The Evergreen Neighborhood Plan is intended to retain or enhance those aspects of the neighborhood that contribute to its quality of life: diversity of housing and occupants, quiet village atmosphere, walkable narrow streets with canopy of trees, and safe access to public transit, parks and commercial uses. To accomplish this, the plan proposes strategies for general land use, transportation, commercial and -71 residential land use,parks and recreation, and natural open space. The Neighborhood Plan, as a set of goals, policies and recommended action measures, rn will become part of the City of Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan. Status as a part of r the Comprehensive Plan assures that the goals and policies will be carefully weighed Z when changes in land use designations and regulations within the neighborhood are considered. Additionally, the goals and policies of the Evergreen Neighborhood Plan will provide overall guidance to the development of new regulations, which will be • binding on future development in the neighborhood. Background and History C _.. Evergreen became an officially recognized Lake Oswego neighborhood association in .Z 1976. The Evergreen Neighborhood has changed dramatically over its short history. The blocks between A Avenue and Evergreen Road (then named First Street)were first =. platted as the First Addition Extension before 1910. Some early homes were built in that area. Until the 1940's the entire area south of Evergreen Road to Lakewood Bay was forested. Lake Bay Homes and later Lake Bay Homes Addition were platted in the early 1940s, with new residential streets added. In the decade after WW II most of the existing homes in Evergreen were built. The last major change to the single-family residential Z area of the neighborhood was the 1950 addition of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church and school, built with a conditional use variance in the R-7.5 zone. Many of the older homes from the early 1900s were demolished to allow for commercial and high density residential in the East End, Downtown Business District and along "A" Avenue. The most dramatic changes in the downtown have occurred in the past few years with the East End Redevelopment. The residential part of the neighborhood has • continued to evolve through remodels and upgrades. DRAFT- JUNE, 2005 BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION V The Evergreen Neighborhood Plan The Planning Process • In the Spring of 2003 the Evergreen Neighborhood Coordinating Council identified the need to develop a neighborhood plan. A five member planning committee was named at a neighborhood meeting on June 12, 2003. Their work for the next five months culminated at a general neighborhood meeting in December where small groups ,; discussed a list of issues, concerns, and opportunities, deleting some and adding or changing others. A draft plan, developed from this input in December, was presented for public review at another general meeting in June 2004. In September, 2004 the Evergreen Neighborhood Coordinating Council applied to the City of Lake Oswego to have the neighborhood plan reviewed and approved by the ni City Council. The planning committee worked with City staff and provided new draft chapters for review at the March, 2005 Evergreen Neighborhood Association general 0 membership meeting. With the assistance and support of a City of Lake Oswego Long- Range Planner, a final draft plan was presented on a Saturday morning in June after a ,:.__ meeting of the Lake Oswego Neighborhood Action Coalition (LONAC). A seoncd open house was held during the General Meeting of the Evergreen Neighborhood Association Z on July 24,2005. Every member of the Association was mailed a notice of this meeting. rn Organization of the Evergreen Plan The Evergreen plan contains the following sections. • - -' • Land Use: Commercial and Residential—describes land use downtown, multi- family, and single family residential, and outlines the character of Evergreen and the challenges as building and redevelopment continue. • Transportation—discusses the value of our narrow, pedestrian-friendly streets and the ways of retaining their benefits while dealing with increasing traffic pressures. " • Open Spaces, Scenic & Historic Areas &Natural Resources— wetlands and Oswego Lake. • Parks and Recreation—addresses the neighborhood's need for park facilities and Z. operational issues related to existing facilities. Each section of the plan is divided into background information, neighborhood goals, policy statements, and recommended action items. The background information includes a description of the existing character that is to be retained, enhanced, or rehabilitated. It may also contain a statement of a desired future character that does not now exist but can be created. • VI LAND USE �. Policies are statements of what must be done to achieve a desired result. The Cit y must follow relevant policy statements when amending the Comprehensive Plan, or • developing other plans or ordinances which affect land use such as public facility plans, and zoning and development standards. Neighborhood Plan policies further neighborhood goals, but must also be consistant with the Comprehensive Plan. Action items are recommended projects, standards, or courses of action for the City and for the Evergreen Neighborhood Association. The completion of these items will depend on a number of factors such as citizen priorities, finances, staff availability, etc. These statements are suggestions to future City decision-makers and Neighborhood Association leaders as ways to implement the goals and policies. The listing of recommended action measures in the Plan does not obligate the City or the Association to accomplish them. Neither do recommended action measures impose obligations on applicants who request amendments or changes to the Comprehensive Plan or its Neighborhood Plan chapters. There are cases where Neighborhood Association action items are not supported by current City policy. The inclusion of Association action items in a Neighborhood Plan should not be construed to be a statement of support by 3 the City's policy-making bodies [Planning Commission and City Council] to those Association action items; it is merely a listing of actions the Association wishes to support. The Relationship Between the Evergreen Neighborhood Plan and Existing Plans and Policies r It is important for both the Evergreen Neighborhood Plan, which is part of the Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan, respond to changing conditions and circumstances. Updates are required as part of periodic review of the Comprehensive Plan to address = changed and unanticipated circumstances that occur over time. Also,because the Evergreen Plan is intended to "comprehensively address" land use policy issues in the neighborhood, and the neighborhood is part of the City as a whole, there are no parts O of either the City's Comprehensive Plan or the Evergreen Neighborhood Plan which can be considered separately from other parts. All Plan goals and policies are intended to be supportive of one another. The City's Comprehensive Plan and its Neighborhood 0 Plan elements occupy center stage for directing Lake Oswego's future. However, other planning activities and documents are also important. Other plans such as the Park and -13 Recreation Master Plan, Transportation System Plan, the various public facility plans, the Capital Improvement Plan, and other Area Plans require consideration when making ` land use decisions. However, any portion of these plans and any related action dealing with land use must be consistent with the policy direction of the Comprehensive Plan and its Neighborhood Plan chapters. The Neighborhood Plan elements of the Comprehensive Plan are implemented by the g Zoning and Development Code. The Comprehensive Plan does not contain specific standards for development. Instead it provides the policy basis for specific standards and procedures of the Zoning and Development Code that are used to review new • DRAFT- JUNE, 2005 BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION VII "" development and modifications to existing development. However, the Plan is applicable to legislative and some quasi-judicial decisions such as Plan and Zone Map amendments and certain other land use actions, which must address applicable Plan goals and policies. These include actions such as conditional uses and text changes to the City's Zoning and Development codes. rn ,. m z f;0 0 • , • VIII LAND USE LAND USE: RESIDENTIAL • Existing Conditions Single-family Residential The single-family detached residential area of Evergreen Neighborhood consists primarily of single-story, ranch style' houses. Other architectural styles prominent in that area of the neighborhood include Cape Cod' and Craftsman/Bungalow' styles. Most houses are modest in scale (less than 2500 square feet) and characterized by the use of natural building materials, window and door openings emphasized with trim, and gable and hip roof forms. Few detached homes in the neighborhood exceed 1 1/2 stories.' or between 20-26 feet in height. The area is designated and zoned R-7.5 in the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zone Map. That zone sets a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet. The styles of dwellings coupled with large, old trees create the atmosphere of a small, safe, quiet, rural village. The maintenance of this atmosphere preserves r residential quality of life as well as property values. Commercial and public interests are -s -71 served by maintaining the beauty of the neighborhood environment. Attached and Multi-family Residential There are currently 39 townhouses between Third Street, Evergreen Road, Second Street ro3 and A Avenue. There are 15 row-house style condominiums facing Fourth Street. There . . are 18 condominiums and 5 lofts facing Lakewood Bay. All of these properties have their own garages that are located behind or under the buildings and are therefore not seen from the street. All are architecturally compatible with their surroundings such as S g the Lake View Village development. In addition, there are two apartment complexes facing Evergreen and Third Street containing 68 apartments. The two apartment complexes have off street parking woven between the buildings for the use of their tri, residents. These high-density structures have attractive landscaping between the street and the buildings. None of the buildings exceed three stories in height. Area residents are able to walk to the many amenities available in this area. 0 In addition to the buildings noted above there are several small rental units in an area ss bounded by Evergreen and A Avenue and Fifth Street and Sixth Street. These include three duplexes, a four unit building and a six unit building. Duplezes and fourplexes are not currently allowed by the City's Community Development Code. There are some legal, non-conforming uses in the neighborhood that could not be rebuilt without a variance. Neighborhood Goals Maintain and enhance the appearance and character of the residential areas of the Evergreen neighborhood. • DRAFT- JUNE `05 LAND USE: RESIDENTIAL 1 The neighborhood's primary goal is the preservation of the single-family, detached, residential character and the unique aesthetic of the existing neighborhood. In order to maintain the integrity of this character, new buildings, single-family and multifamily, should blend with the architectural styles and scale of existing structures on the same block face as the proposed development and on the block face across the street. Additionally, good transitions should remain between different densities of housing development and commercial. The neighborhood is very concerned about encroachment of commercial or higher density housing (R-0, R-2, R-3, R-5, EC) into the single-family area of the neighborhood, defined by what is currently zoned R-7.5 as shown in Exhibit 1. Consensus among neighbors is that the preservation of existing single-family dwellings r is important. Therefore, the Community Development Code should encourage < remodels, where appropriate, instead of tearing down existing homes. It is the hope that rn opportunities can be identified. 0. The neighborhood would like to protect the existing greenscape in the neighborhood through preservation of existing trees and landscaping, by requiring tree planting with new development and through regular updates to the City's tree removal and tree p g g P Y protection policies city-wide. Evergreen would like the City to enact a requirement that Z all development in the Evergreen neighborhood including single-family dwellings plant street trees to: a. Produce a continuous tree canopy over the street, ._r b. Reduce the apparent scale or size of the street, and c. Enhance the beauty of the neighborhood. I Existing City Codes and Background There are many ways in which the existing Community Development Code supports the neighborhood's goals. S O The Residential Infill Design additions to the Community Development Code in 2003 O introduced the concept of a front setback plane into residential zones in the City. This regulatory control helps to reduce the perceived size of new structures at the street. The -0 Evergreen neighborhood supports the inclusion of this regulation, and others such as lot coverage, yard setbacks and height restrictions which diminish the perceived size of • homes built in the neighborhood that are significantly larger than existing Z single-family, detached structures. Since the Infill Design additions have only been in effect for a few years there is not strong evidence for how they are affecting the Evergreen neighborhood. The neighborhood supports ongoing observation and continued improvement to these standards to make sure they have their intended effect. Current City codes require that when a development creates a public or private street, or a parking lot, lights used to illuminate parking lots and pathways shall not produce annoying or disabling glare at normal viewing angles. Effort, however, is required to make sure these codes are enforced after development is complete. The neighborhood • wishes to work with the City to assure compliance with all existing regulations to diminish light trespass. 2 LAND USE: RESIDENTIAL limp Another concern for Evergreen neighbors has been the visual impact of residential garages and parking facilities in the neighborhood. The 2003 Community Development III Code Infill Code Amendments addresses garages in the R-7.5 zone in Article 50.08.055, requiring that they be directed away from the street, or set back from the front of the house (subject to certain exceptions and exemptions). The City's Tree Code (LOC Chapter 55) seeks to preserve trees in the neighborhood that are greater than 5" DBH (diameter at breast height). The neighborhood supports regular , assessments of the tree code by a committee or commission of Lake Oswego residents to assure that it is indeed protecting the City's existing trees to the greatest extent possible. =- The current code, LOC 50.69, is intended to insure that proposed conditional uses are as compatible as practical with surrounding uses. One of the three requirements for ill' approval of a conditional use is, "[t]he functional characteristics of the proposed use are such that it can be made to be reasonably compatible with uses in its vicinity." ' l '' However, there have been conflicts in the past between conditional uses in the Evergreen r.;13' neighborhood and surrounding residential neighbors. Conflicts have included: unwanted light trespass and glare from building and parking lots into the residential area, noise levels that are higher than desired in a residential area, a lack of compatibility in design and size between residential and conditional uses and a lack of barriers which might visually or audibly buffer these impacts. A concern exists that the expansion of existing ,Z".I. conditional use facilities or the approval of new conditional uses will exacerbate these problems. m IIIAt the time an application is reviewed, LOC 50.69 provides a way for the hearing body, N G or the City Manager, in the case of a minor modification, to impose conditions to ' assure compatibility of the proposed use with other uses in the vicinity. These '� conditions include, but are not limited to: a. Limiting the manner in which the use is conducted, by restricting the time an activity may take place and by minimizing such I environmental effects as noise, vibration, air pollution, glare and " odor. b. Limiting the location and intensity of outdoor lighting, requiring its , 0 shielding, or both. c. Limiting the height, size or location of a building or other structure. "" d. Designating the size, number, location and design of vehicle access points. `.. e. Designating the size, location, screening, drainage, surfacing or other improvement of a parking area or truck loading area. „:. f. Requiring berming, screening or landscaping and designating standards for its installation and maintenance. The Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan addresses zone changes in residential neighborhoods in Goal 2, Land Use Planning. Section 1, Policy 5 directs the City to, • "[m]aintain residential neighborhoods at existing zone and plan density designations," except where certain criteria can be met. The full text of this section of the ,;; DRAFT- JUNE `05 LAND USE: RESIDENTIAL 3 " 3, Comprehensive Plan, at the time this document was produced, is provided as Appendix 1. Policies: • 1) Work to ensure that development occurs in a way that is compatible with the unique character of the Evergreen neighborhood. 2) Preserve the existing fabric of the neighborhood by developing incentives to remodel existing homes, where feasible, instead of tearing down and rebuilding single-family, detached residential properties. r" � Action Items: City Responsibility: 1) To promote compatibility between non-compliant development reviewed through Residential Infill Design (RID)review process, create Evergreen Neighborhood M Design Objectives to serve as a guide for Residential Infill Design (RID)review " applications. 2) Recommend improvements to the Infill Standards as needed. 3) Together with the Evergreen Neighborhood Association,prepare for Planning Commission review, a recommended Overlay Zone for the R 7-5 area of the Evergreen Neighborhood to specify the following requirements: + a. To assure more consistency between buildings, accessory structures in the detached, single-family area of the Evergreen neighborhood, including garages, should have the same roof pitch as the primary structure. b. To limit new home construction to 1 1/2 stories in height, the front setback • plane requirement shall extend upward 16 feet (instead of 20 feet)before "+ sloping back at a 6:12 pitch. c. To make it easier to rehabilitate existing homes, allow a setback reduction up to 20% for the rehabilitation of homes built prior to 1950, but limit how much the existing building may be expanded. (Those limits are yet to be determined) (Note:A committee of Evergreen Neighborhood Association members and City staff shall be convened to finalize these code amendments.) 4) Prepare for Planning Commission review, a City-wide amendment to the Community Development Code requiring: a. Two (2) street trees for every 50 feet of street frontage shall be required as a condition of approval for a new structure in the residential zones of the City. Existing street trees can be counted in order to comply with this requirement, as long as the type, location and viability of the existing trees are sufficient to provide a full streetscape of trees. Neighborhood Responsibility: 1) Through the neighborhood association, finalize the Neighborhood Design Objectives. Involve members in regular updates when needed. • 4 LAND USE: RESIDENTIAL 2) Organize a neighborhood subcommittee to promote planting and conservation of trees, green spaces, and other vegetation that are appropriate for the neighborhood 1111 and region. Plantings are an attractive means of providing buffers between commercial or public-use and residential areas. 3) Through the Evergreen Neighborhood Association and with cooperation from the City, provide information to neighbors and property owners about the 2003 Residential Infill Design additions to the Community Development Code, and engage residents in ongoing monitoring of the regulations in LOC 50.08, the Community Development Code standards for the R-7.5 zone. 4) Two Evergreen Neighborhood Association delegates will monitor new development and attend pre-application meetings, where possible, with homeowners, developers, and/or city representatives for the purpose of reviewing minor and major development permit application requests. 4) Inform and educate members of the Evergreen Neighborhood Association about the Comprehensive Plan policy to maintain residential neighborhoods at existing density n designations and the exceptions or criteria for allowing such a change (Goal 2 Land Use Planning, Section 1, Policy 5). rn ccr 1� w 'Ranch Style: Ranch style homes are usually built from natural materials (wood floors and wood or brick exteriors). Ranch homes lack much decorative detailing on the exterior aside from shutters or roof supports. Windows are large (usually double hung or picture windows)and often include sliding doors to a patio or deck. 2Cape Cod: Cape Cod style homes usually have two levels of living area featuring a steep roof slope and dormers. The design is generally symmetrical and does not feature much overhang or other ornamentation. The area of the second floor is usually 40-75%the area of the ground floor. • 'Craftsman/Bungalow: Craftsman or Bungalow style homes typically have 1 or 1.5 stories and a low, pitched roof. They often have porches on the front with decorative square columns. Decorative stained glass windows are also popular on these homes.

Developed by members of the Evergreen Neighborhood Association in 2005, they provide general guidance, without legal obligation, for new, detached, single-family home construction in the neighborhood. The goal is new development that is compatible with existing homes in the community. The Lake Oswego Community Development Code provides for the consideration of neighborhood design objectives or guidelines when applying the criteria for compatibility during the review of an application for Residential Infill Design Review (LOC 50.72.020). That is the only official application of these guidelines upon new development in the Evergreen neighborhood. Residential Infill Design Review is a 3 voluntary process. However, these guidelines may be consulted when questions arise about compatibility generally in the neighborhood and can be a resource for property owners considering new development. X r The Evergreen neighborhood is characterized by a diversity of small, cottage-like homes zrn on large lots. Natural materials are often used including natural wood siding, masonry �^ and brick, low stone walls and wood fences, arbors and gates. Lush landscaping including mature trees adds to the visual appeal of Evergreen homes, linking them to . 0 their surroundings and adding natural color and texture. Moderately pitched hipped '�• and gable roofs are prominent.A few common styles in the neighborhood include the ' : 1940's and 1950's Ranch-style home, the one story Neo-Colonial or Cape Cod and rehabilitations with Craftsman design elements. •„sr la '.~•' a b•�y • ?Y t a.• � amtY� "yd , ✓b ., ,-.' 7: 1 . ,- ', Cottage-like appearance Craftsman elements (use of natural materials) (use of natural materials) Ill r.,,,,,,,, , , , --,,, ,,,,„.., DRAFT- JUNE, 2005 NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN OBJECTIVES 7 1110 L. ^ 1 r: Neo-Colonial (Cape Cod) Neo-Colonial (Cape Cod) ,r , , ^ c , Y X ; ems. . f �Ia 1 {gg{ffgg33 y$y$E[E[yyf7 qq ` t . .M .. .r ,see" . . s .. ,,T.1, , Cottage-like appearance (use of Craftsman elements (use ofIII 0 natural materials) natural materials) T r\yw�j� `K. q ____ IflriAriiiiiiiiisitioisto.„,,,, , . , ---- �: R f• :. itzi — F Z 1940's Ranch-style home 1940's Ranch-style home n. iiiiiimilorop,„ „. ,, a and .R d. ` :&er .,,. 1 a II ., 1950's Ranch-style home 1950's Ranch-style home 8 EVERGREEN NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN OBJECTIVES LAND USE: COMMERCIAL • General Background The commercial district of the Evergreen Neighborhood includes a diversity of uses including townhomes, apartments, Millennium Plaza Park, City Hall, Lake View Village Shopping Center and local churches. Services along A Avenue include retail and office space with services such as boutique shops, medical offices, restaurants, banking, auto service outlets, two churches and a grocery store. Development in the downtown district has brought a resurgence in local and metro- wide use. Millennium Plaza has provided a gathering place for neighbors and visitors to enjoy concerts, festivals, the Farmers' Market and other public and private events. These events also attract customers to the area who can take advantage of a variety of ...R shopping and dining alternatives. Few neighborhoods enjoy such close proximity to attractive and diverse commercial enterprises, and businesses enjoy their close proximity 71-1 to a consistent customer base as well. 0 The commercial area of the neighborhood is zoned as East End Commercial (EC). High density residential (R-0) designations occur along the boarder of the commercial district There are Townhomes on 4th Street and between 2nd and 3rd, apartments on 3rd Street and condominiums behind those apartments on Lakewood Bay. The entire area designated EC, including that designated EC/R-0, is within the Lake Oswego Redevelopment 1111 ' Agency (LORA) Urban Renewal boundaries. Theses areas are subject to the regulations of the Downtown Redevelopment District Standards (LOC 50.65), and the East End .__.________..._......... Redevelopment Plan. The Evergreen Neighborhood Association represents all residents and businesses owners within the neighborhood's boundaries. In addition, the Downtown Business District Association (DBDA) and the Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce also represent business interests in the area. ( ,; Neighborhood Goals 1. Promote the village atmosphere of the Downtown Business District. 2. Maintain and support neighborhood-serving businesses in the Downtown Business District. The Neighborhood's goal is to preserve or enhance the positive character of both the residential neighborhood and adjoining commercial establishments. Residential and business neighbors see the difficulties that can arise if adequate parking is not provided in and around the downtown core. Both groups value pedestrian safety and advocate for improved traffic management in the district. Residential neighbors would like to minimize truck traffic on Evergreen's residential streets. Both groups agree that the appearance of downtown is very important and that recent improvements have created a consistent, well maintained and attractive look for the area. Parking will be discussed in a subsequent chapter dedicated entirely to that issue. DRAFT- JUNE `05 LAND USE: COMMERCIAL 9 Neighbors strive to preserve the village atmosphere of downtown by limiting the To' development of new structures that are greatly out of character with existing buildings. Ta ller buildings that produce shadows on area streets could make downtown less enjoyable for pedestrians. • The downtown area of the future, envisioned by the neighborhood, would share all the positive qualities of a small European village. A thread of continuity, based on design, would visually connect the buildings in the commercial district. Pedestrians would be greeted at every turn with safe and comfortable areas to walk, places to sit and opportunities for chance encounters with other downtown neighbors. Parking lots would be convenient but out of view. Walking would be the preferred way to travel in this district. There will be a mix of uses, different types of shopping and places to dine. The everyday necessities of residents could be met by an array of businesses. Other businesses would serve as a city-wide audience, but a balance would exist between both types. Familiar buildings would remain like the movie theater on State Street and new structures, designed with recognition for what came before, would blend seamlessly with G) .. the older fabric of the village center. The following policies and action items are intended to inform City policy and nri development in the Downtown District of the Evergreen neighborhood and work Z towards the goals stated above. Z • w 0 /d usax¢ffi N� N % pgp TO:WV 9 . {4 Lakeview Village from Millennium Park Plaza Policies 1.

Action Items City Responsibility 10 LAND USE: COMMERCIAL 1. Working with the Evergreen Neighborhood Association and the First Addition Neighborhood Association,prepare for Planning Commission review policies to assure that the design of new development in the East End Commercial (EC) zone, particularly on A Avenue, does not encourage delivery trucks to travel on streets within Evergreen's R-7.5 zone. 2. Working with the Evergreen Neighborhood Association and the First Addition Neighborhood Association,prepare for Planning Commission review a policy requiring development of'A acre or greater in the EC zone that will include 35,000 or more square feet of total retail space to conduct a three part traffic study that measures the full impact of the development on surrounding streets. The developer shall conduct the required studies and measure traffic volumes on all neighborhood streets in the direct vicinity of the project including those that lead to minor and major collectors. The studies shall occur at: a. The time the permit is sought (to establish a baseline); rn b. At 50% occupancy; and eit c. 1 year after the second study. Neighborhood Responsibility: 1. Promote on-going communication between neighborhood residents, rn downtown businesses and the City on issues which affect downtown by keeping a comprehensive mail and email list with business contacts and regularly informing business owners about topics of interest and opportunities to get involved. 2. Conduct regular social mixers to introduce residents to different downtown I: businesses and expose business leaders to residents in a casual, social CO atmosphere. 3. Promote local neighborhood shopping and dining amongst neighbors to enhance and support quality businesses. 4. The Evergreen Neighborhood Association will identify delegates to attend pre-application meetings as allowed by the City of Lake Oswego. Delegates will be elected or appointed to represent the interests of the neighborhood in evaluating minor and major development permit requests. 'Frequently Reoccurring Needs (for goods and services): The continuous demand for goods and services that are used on a regular basis such as food, drugs, dry cleaning, etc. These are often referred to as convenience goods and services. 2Community Needs (for goods and services): These are needs which encompass the range of goods and services desired by the market area defined by Lake Oswego's Urban Services • Boundary. DRAFT- JUNE '05 LAND USE: COMMERCIAL 11 (This page left blank intentionally) m . : 0 m M z 4111 0 0 0 z 12 LAND USE: COMMERCIAL TRANSPORTATION • Local Residential Streets Background Those streets within the City designated to carry the least amount of traffic are labeled "local" or" residential" streets. According to the Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan, the main function of these streets is to serve the circulation and access needs of residents adjacent to and abutting them. Aesthetics are to be of primary concern for local streets, subject only to considerations of function and public safety, foremost the safety of pe- destrians and bicyclists. According to the Lake Oswego Code(Chapter 42, Streets and Sidewalks), local residential streets shall be designed and constructed for a minimum of disruption to neighborhood livability while providing adequate and safe circulation. All streets, with the exception of A Avenue and State Street, within the Evergreen neighborhood are designated "local residential"with speed limits of 25 miles per hour. 30 The minimum design for local neighborhood streets is 2 lanes, each 10 feet in width, with a 3 foot gravel shoulder on either side. Most streets in the residential portions of the neighborhood are designed in this way, however, in the downtown area; road designs include wider travel lanes, curbs and sidewalks. In residential areas, where pavement rti widths average about 20 feet, the full public right-of-way is often wider than minimum Z standards. The street shoulders on either side of the pavement are generally used as a graveled parking strip. In some cases where additional space exists, they have been landscaped by the owner of the adjacent property. In some isolated situations where the • entire shoulder has been landscaped and a parking strip no longer exists, cars park on the paved roadway. This situation is often illegal and can become hazardous when a parked car obstructs motorists'visibility, particularly on a curve. Neighborhood Goals Create and maintain narrow, village-like streets that: a. Increase safety and aesthetic satisfaction for pedestrians; b. Promote slow moving vehicular traffic; and c. Reduce contaminated storm water runoff into lakes, rivers and streams. z The goal of the neighborhood is to create and maintain narrow, village-like streets that increase safety and aesthetic satisfaction for pedestrians and promote slow moving traffic. Negative elements such as unsafe intersections and wide expanses of pavement should be minimized. Cut-through traffic should be discouraged. One method is a clearer delineation of neighborhood entry points with beautification projects so drivers are aware when they have entered a residential area. The main entries to the neighborhood are at the intersections of: • • Evergreen Road and 10th Street; • Berwick and 10th Street; • Berwick Road and Lake Forest; and • 3rd Street at Lake Bay Court. TRANSPORTATION 13 Cut-through has been observed by neighbors on Evergreen Road from Iron Mountain Boulevard to the East End Commercial area, and from Evergreen Road to the North Shore bridge using Ellis Avenue, Lake Forest Drive, Berwick Road, or Lake Bay Court. 1111 Existing Codes and Policies The City of Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan, Goal 12: Transportation, addresses several of Evergreen's goals. The City's goal for neighborhood collectors and local residential streets says: Lake Oswego shall develop a system of neighborhood collectors and local residential streets which preserves the quiet, privacy and safety of neighborhood living and which has adequate, but not excessive capacity, necessary to accommodate planned land uses. m Listed below are additional significant policies from this chapter: r� The City shall, in conjunction with the neighborhood association, plan for, develop and maintain a local residential street system at a service level and scale which: • Recognizes the need for safety for all modes of travel, • Recognizes the multi-use functions of neighborhood streets for walking, bicycling and social interaction, and which preserves the privacy, quiet and ,111 safety of neighborhood living, '—' • Provides for safe access to abutting land; and, • ` • Allows adequate and safe circulation from residential properties to the major streets system and neighborhood activity centers. The City shall ensure that new development which will use new and existing neighborhood collectors and local residential streets is compatible with these street's function and character. Development approval of new land uses shall ensure that: • The quiet residential quality of neighborhood streets is fostered and maintained. • Street improvements required to serve new land uses are designed in accordance with the adopted neighborhood plan and to the minimum necessary scale. Z Policies 1. Promote the planting of street tree species that will mature to produce a canopy over the street. 2. Maintain the existing narrow pavement area on Evergreen's neighborhood streets except where additional width is necessary for pedestrian or bicycle safety. 3. Develop "green streets" in the Evergreen neighborhood to reduce contaminated storm water run off through the use of natural vegetation, rocks, unpaved shoulders. • 14 DRAFT- JUNE '05 TRANSPORTATION ..„:„,„:„...,k, ... ., ,,,„ , "k5-'-1,ti,.,4 5 , , t ..„:„ 2., :, . ., ' P, 4, , te4 .

Alternative Transportation: Walking, Biking, And Transit Background rn The City Comprehensive Plan promotes opportunities for safe and convenient alternative transportation, including walking, biking and transit. The Evergreen neighborhood is T ideally situated for walking, with shops, restaurants, a movie theater, and public facilities including mass transit all conveniently located nearby. The main "through"walking street for the neighborhood is Evergreen Road. M rri In addition, the Evergreen Neighborhood stresses the need to support and enforce existing City policies which require parking for bikes at all public and commercial ,a facilities,particularly at Lakeview Village and Millennium Park. In some cases, bike Z facilities need to be made more visible so cyclists can find them easily. rn Evergreen would support the development of a "walking city" campaign to promote Downtown Lake Oswego Village as a place to walk. Increased attention through an event that brings more people out to enjoy the streets could bring attention to the need for safety improvements. Banners hung on State Street and along A Avenue could xi promote the event and activities at the schools and around the Commercial District could support it. Early fall would be an excellent time to organize such a campaign. Action Items City Responsibility: .13 1. Ensure secure and pleasant passage for pedestrians and cyclists by working with residents through the Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan to identify hazardous areas, then use traffic interventions to improve safety. , . "' 2. Provide walking paths throughout the neighborhood,particularly in the following areas: Evergreen Road from 4th to 10th, from Berwick Court to Ellis via Berwick Road, on 10th from Evergreen to A Avenue. a. Request the inclusion of these pathways in the City of Lake Oswego Transportation System Plan. b. Review by the Transportation Advisory Board. c. Identify funding. 3. Support extension of the Portland Streetcar into downtown Lake Oswego and, in the , „ • future, southwest along the current railroad track to Tualatin. 4. Promote safe and accessible pedestrian and bicycle access from Downtown Lake Oswego to the Foothills District. TRANSPORTATION 17 ,, 5. Enforce existing City policies restricting parking within 6 feet of the center line f. of any road, particularly where this practice produces a dangerous situation for pedestrians, bicyclists or cars. 110 6. Work through the Evergreen Representative on the Foothills Plan Citizen Advisory Committee to find a safe and accessible pedestrian and bicycle access from Evergreen Neighborhood through downtown to the Foothills District. Neighborhood Responsibility: 1. Work with the City and TAB to install walking paths throughout the neighborhood, particularly in the following areas: Evergreen Road from 4th to 10th, from Berwick Court to Ellis via Berwick Road, on 10th from Evergreen to A Avenue. 2. Work with the City to organize a "Walk Lake Oswego" event/campaign to promote Lake Oswego as a walking city. 3. The Association will prepare a street-by-street analysis of street lighting needs in the Evergreen neighborhood based on neighborhood opinion and safety considerations. 4. Provide information to the Police when vehicles are restricting the flow of traffic by parking within 6 feet of the center line of the street. Reports can be made the the Lake Oswego Police Deaprtment non-emergency number. m Parking Background The Evergreen neighborhood consists of both residential and commercial properties with on-street and off-street parking to serve them. Parking on neighborhood streets is free • and unrestricted except for limited duration parking along "A"Avenue and in sections of First, Second, Third and Fourth Streets between Evergreen and"A"Avenue. Patrons O, of downtown businesses, visitors to city events and users of Tri-Met sometimes park in the residential areas of the neighborhood. Residents realize that overflow parkingfrom g nearby businesses will increase as the area develops making it increasingly difficult for them to find spots to park in front of their homes. 0 Businesses in Evergreen rely on adequate, convenient parking to serve their customers. Restaurant owners/operators in particular are sensitive to lunch and dinner hour rushes when parking within a reasonable distance from their businesses may become limited. Tr_ They require parking for their employees as well as their customers. Many owners are concerned that employee use of public parking spaces is limiting the accessibility for the customers of other businesses. For these owners, location is as critical an issue as overall supply. Parking must be accessible for customers, because from their perspective, available parking is directly related to their success as a business. In the Transportation Chapter of the City of Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan, Goal 12: Transportation sets the following goal for parking: "Adequate on-site parking and loading facilities shall be provided for all land uses."The neighborhood would like to work with the City toward the achievement of this objective. Another concern of the neighborhood is the availability of bicycle parking facilities 1111 including racks at Downtown destinations that would encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation. In the same chapter of the Comprehensive Plan, Goal 7 States, 18 DRAFT- JUNE '05 TRANSPORTATION "The City shall provide a network of safe and convenient bikeways integrated with other transportation modes to increase modal share of bicycle transportation for all trip purposes." The fourth policy under this goal states directs the City to, Require, as appropriate, and encourage the placement of bicycle lockers and bicycle racks at major destinations and activity centers. Encourage covered bicycle parking whenever possible. Article 50.55.015 from the City of Lake Oswego Community Development Code requires bicycle parking for any development that generates a parking need. Neighborhood Goals The neighborhood would like to see adequate off-street parking made available for every new development in the neighborhood and the maintenance of all existing street parking in the Downtown Commercial District including on A Avenue. Off-street parking near M businesses is critical for their on-going success. The neighborhood would like to work cooperatively with the City to manage the use of public spaces downtown to keep parking out of the residential area. The neighborhood would like additional, accessible bicycle parking installed at all public and private facilities downtown, creating an incentive for people to ride their . bikes to visit businesses and enjoy Millennium Plaza instead of driving their cars. • Action Items City Responsibility: =r 1. Conduct a parking analysis to determine the extent of overflow parking into the residential neighborhoods surrounding downtown and make recommendations for adjusting the City's regulations or implementing new programs to address current parking needs and accommodate future growth. 2. The Parks and Recreation Department should continue their efforts to identify private parking facilities that may be used during busy downtown events like summer concerts and the weekly Farmers'Market. 3. Sustain the existing free parking at downtown businesses for customer and employee use to reduce overflow parking in the Evergreen neighborhood's residential areas. 4. Based on the determined need, identify opportunities for the development of additional, free,public, off-street parking facilities downtown for employee and customer parking. 5. Install additional bicycle racks where required at Millennium Plaza and downtown businesses. 6. Create an informational flier and map that identifies bicycle parking facilities around the Downtown Commercial District. Neighborhood Responsibility: , 1. Work with the First Addition neighborhood to propose an increase from 2-hour to 3- • hour parking limit along A Avenue. Support shorter limits for in and out trips where requested by a specific business.

Streets that the City has designated as "major arterials" are those that carry the second heaviest traffic loads after freeways. Two major arterials, "A"Avenue and State Street,border the Evergreen neighborhood. The posted speed is 30 mph on A Avenue and a portion in front of Our Lady of the Lake school is designated a 20 mph School Zone. Neighborhood Goals The neighborhood is concerned about the safety of "A"Avenue during peak traffic and -" wants to make sure every effort is made to improve the function of the street. : :: 20 DRAFT - JUNE '05 TRANSPORTATION Enforcement of posted speed limits has been identified as an issue by the neighborhood. Many neighbors express concern about the safety of walking across A Avenue because • of high speeds and driver's lack of attention for pedestrians. Marked crosswalks currently located on A Avenue at 5th Street provide a crossing opportunity for pedestrians. The number of lanes that the pedestrian must cross, together with the average speed and volume of traffic on"A"Avenue can make crossing difficult. Previous analysis conducted by the City has shown that a signal at "A" Avenue and 5th Street does not meet the requirements of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, established by the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA). The manual defines the standards used by road managers nationwide to install and maintain traffic control devices on all streets and highways and to promote the highest of safety standards for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. Because of business and recreation opportunities on both sides of"A"Avenue, the crossing at this location is important to both Evergreen and First Addition residents. The Evergreen neighborhood believes that a signal is the only way to assure the safety of those crossing here. In addition, they believe that more people will choose to cross "A"Avenue at 5th Street if it is made safer for them to do so. For that reason, the neighborhood will advocate for the installation of a fully signalized intersection despite rn:,,. the high costs involved with a new signal and the fact that the intersection does not meet , the requirements of the MUTCD. ", There is also support in the neighborhood for the installation of curb extensions along "A"Avenue at 5th, 6th and 8th Streets to shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians and indicate to motorists that they are entering a neighborhood street. �. Existing City Policies and Actions 0 The City of Lake Oswego Police Department conducts periodic "sweeps"to enforce the City's speed limits on A Avenue. Neighbors should be in contact with the Police Department regarding speeding so that police can increase enforcement based on reports 0 from neighbors. The Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan, Goal 12, Transportation, sets this goal for walking, The City shall provide a continuous citywide network of safe and convenient walkways that promotes walking as a mode of travel for short trips. Street crossings are specifically addressed in the following policy: The City shall make the pedestrian environment safe, convenient, attractive and accessible for all users through: • • Planning and developing a network of continuous sidewalks, pathways, and crossing improvements that are accessible per the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA), TRANSPORTATION 21 t . i ,.s,i i y n� ; ,. • 1 • m, Y M Bench on "A"Avenue r • Providing adequate and safe street crossing opportunities for pedestrians, and • Improving street amenities (e.g., landscaping, pedestrian-scale street lighting, benches and shelters) forpedestrians, particularlynear transit centers, town • centers, main streets, employment centers, and transit corridors serving the primary transit network. Action Items City Responsibility: 1. Work with ENA residents and businesses to create a "Walk Lake Oswego" campaign to promote downtown Lake Oswego as a safe and enjoyable place to walk. 4.001 2. Work with Evergreen and First Addition neighbors to install improvements for '" pedestrian safety at the traffic signals on A Avenue and 4th Street. 3. Where feasible, narrow the crossing distance of A Avenue at 5th and 6th streets by installing curb extensions where they are not currently located. 4. Narrow the crossing distance of 8th Street with curb extensions across 8th at A Avenue. 5. Continue the pedestrian amenities on A Avenue, by installing benches and landscaping from 4th Street to 10th Street. Neighborhood Responsibility: 1. Campaign for the installation of a signal at 5th and A Avenue to provide for the safe crossing of pedestrians and bikes. • 22 DRAFT- JUNE '05 TRANSPORTATION 2. Inform Evergreen residents through general newsletters and neighborhood meetings to call City Hall and voice their concerns to appropriate representatives about • speeding, and traffic congestion. Neighbors can contact the Police at the non- emergency number, (503) 635-0238. 3. Participate in the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) and the City's Speed Watch and Pace Car programs. m fri„::"; ',ra 0 , j' • TRANSPORTATION 23 OPEN SPACES, HISTORIC & NATURAL AREAS Wetlands • Background Wetlands are an important part of Lake Oswego's environment. Values include storm water storage, erosion control, water quality enhancement, ground water recharge, and fish and wildlife habitat. Wetlands also contribute to the community's aesthetic quality and provide opportunities for recreation and education. The Evergreen neighborhood has a forested wetland of significant size tucked behind existing homes. The properties on Lake Forest Drive, Ellis, 6th street, and Lake Bay Court (Tax Map 21E10BA Tax Lots 0080 through 0108) abut the wetland. Evergreen neighbors are concerned about the health and maintenance of the wetland. A few areas have been filled over the years. The wetland floods seasonally and remains wet much of the year. It is in a low-lying area adjacent to a stream corridor and is fed by ground water, surface water and fresh water springs. The plant community in the area includes big leaf maple, alders, willow and a complex understory of shrub species. Non-native invasive species include blackberry, morning glory, English Ivy, Clematis, rri Reed Canary grass and Nightshades. The multi-layered canopy created by these plants ' provides shelter, food, nesting and perching sites for wildlife, which are enjoyed by the surrounding property owners. The Evergreen Neighborhood has already begun removing non-native invasive species .w... } 411 and replanting with native species. Interested property owners from the neighborhood contacted staff from the City of Lake Oswego and visited an existing wetland in the process of being restored to learn about the restoration process. Written materials were ; provided by the City to assist with identifying nonnative plant species and desirable native species. This handout has been distributed to interested neighbors. Classes on restoring wetlands have been scheduled. Native plant nurseries have been contacted about supplying replacement native plants to property owners at reasonable prices. Q 0 Neighborhood Goal 9 The Evergreen neighborhood seeks to protect, maintain, enhance and restore the neighborhood's wetland area. g � s Action Items Neighborhood Association: I. Create a position within the Evergreen Neighborhood Association to be the natural resource representative. This person will be a contact with City staff. 2.

Oswego Lake: The North Shore Of Lakewood Bay Background Evergreen Neighborhood includes the north shore of Lakewood Bay, extending from Millennium Plaza Park to the intersection of North Shore Road and Cabana Lane. Oswego Lake was a smaller body of water in the 1800s and early 1900s, the bay did not ov- exist until 1921 when a dam raised the water level of the main lake and spilled water xl into Lakewood Bay, Blue Heron, and West Bay. rn rn The majority of properties along the north shore of Lakewood Bay have been developed. Cabanas, single family residences on pilings, cover most of the lake front from North Shore Road to Millennium Plaza Park. The line of cabana homes is interrupted between 4th and 5th streets by an easement named the Lakewood Bay Community Club. The area of the bay east of 3rd Street, the shoreline closest to Millennium Plaza Park is 03 one of the few remaining undeveloped waterfront areas surrounding the lake. This lake edge, from 3rd street to Millennium Plaza Park, is important for wildlife nesting, food and shelter. Species include resident and migratory waterfowl such as Dabblers, Diving Ducks, Canada Geese and Great Blue Herons. Fish species in the Lake include Bass, rl Catfish, Bluegill, Carp, Crappie and Yellow Ring Tail Perch. For years,people have used this stretch of the shore for fishing, watching the wildlife, recreational walking, and enjoying views across the bay. The City of Lake Oswego currently developing a walkway on this natural edge of the lake to support the use of this area for recreational walking and viewing the bay. It will start at the foot of Third Street, paralleling the lakeshore to the Lower Plaza Fountain in Millennium Plaza Park. The walkway will be 8 feet wide and will require some fill into the bay to accommodate the path. New plantings will be provided, as well as lighting and benches. Action Items City Responsibility: 1. Install a wildlife interpretive program along the Headlee walkway. 25 OPEN SPACES, HISTORIC & NATURAL AREAS Evergreen Neighborhood Association: „.. 3, -,.;.=. �� a 1.

Entrance to the Lakewood Bay Community Club Background Lakewood Bay Community Club (LBCC)was chartered in 1941 when lakefront • properties were deeded from the Oregon Iron and Steel Company. It was initially called Snug Harbor Easement and was created for swimming, picnicking, and boating. The 03 easement is managed,and financially supported by deeded property owners. There are 151 deeded households in the Evergreen Neighborhood that are eligible for membership. esof From meager beginnings, the dock has developed into a facility containing approximately 4,800 square feet of decking, 14 boat slips, racks for 17 canoes, a baby pool, a junior pool, a large swim area with diving board and slide, and a restroom-change facility. The dock has been rebuilt several times over the years, each -13'time adding more boat slips and other necessary improvements. The Lakewood Bay easement is a self- managed and financed facility with its own set of policies and action items. The LBCC is an importantpart of life in the neighborhood, p g � 3 physically, aesthetically, and recreationally. It is a coveted amenity whose existence adds to the value of the homes deeded for membership. The Evergreen Neighborhood Association supports and strongly encourages the continued existence of the Lakewood Bay Community Club easement. • Action Items s Neighborhood Association: • 1. Increase and maintain adequate communication between the LBCC Board of Directors and the leadership of the Evergreen Neighborhood Association. DRAFT- JUNE '05 OPEN SPACES, HISTORIC & NATURAL AREAS 28 x (This page left blank intentionally) • m' m' m ," pri • G.) 0 0 a z • 29 OPEN SPACES, HISTORIC & NATURAL AREAS PARKS AND RECREATION Third and Evergreen Background The City of Lake Oswego's goal is, "to plan, acquire, develop and maintain a system of park, open space and recreation facilities, both active and passive, that are attractive, safe, functional, available to all segments of the population and serve diverse current and long range community needs." Millennium Plaza Park certainly meets this goal for the larger community. However the Evergreen neighborhood needs a place that is always available for the use of its families and children. Rossman Park on 4th and C streets is an excellent example of the :I. type of facility that meets this need for First Addition residents. J. x V ,.yam, s ,Ji '414'; 3 � t . .:` a Green Space and Recommended Park Area (Evergreen and 3rd Street) At the east end of Evergreen Street is a small '/4 block of open green space that is surrounded by deciduous trees on the north and evergreens on the west. The Evergreen neighborhood would like to see this city-owned open space developed into a city park similar to Rossman Park in First Addition. It would ,, complement Millennium Plaza Park, a space intended for large community gatherings such as concerts and the Farmers'Market. Possible facilities at the 3rd and Evergreen site might include elements such as children's play structures, open lawn, a shelter for picnics, restrooms and attractive landscaping • including shade producing trees. It would also provide a restful space for City Hall and other area employees to enjoy. 30 PARKS AND RECREATION • The City is becoming increasingly aware of the limitations of the existing City Hall building at 380 A Avenue. Because the property discussed above is owned by the City and is located adjacent to the existing City Hall parking lot, it would be a logical place for a Civic Center expansion. The neighborhood understands that this is an option that the City would like to maintain, but believes that it is important to emphasize expansion options that would not prevent park development. Action Items: City Responsibility 1. Keep the Evergreen Neighborhood Association informed of City plans for this area. 2. Provide funds in subsequent budget cycles for the construction of a small r neighborhood park for Evergreen residents. r 3. If a Civic Center is envisioned for this block, design it in such a way � that provides a green space to function as a small park for the Evergreenrri h neighborhood and a restful space for city employees Neighborhood Responsibility 1. The neighborhood must remain proactive with the City on this issue. ENA Z strongly supports a neighborhood park in this location. 2. At the appropriate time, solicit funds from individuals or groups for park development. ,w. `1 -13 " ? • DRAFT- JUNE `05 PARKS AND RECREATION 31 ': Millennium Plaza Park III /....„ As -,, 'k , , &, ,• ate' , ..�� €f 12 1. rt4 ; �.A i g „,ems f�° ' �� t :i is '....,� Ill 1I Millennium Plaza Park looking west At the east end of Evergreen is a gathering place called Millennium Plaza W Park. Community members, sometimes in the thousands, attend concerts, a Farmers'Market, candle light vigils, an annual Holiday tree lighting, and private events such as weddings. Evergreen neighbors enjoy their close proximity to - I• :uI Millennium Plaza Park, allowing them to walk or bike to many free events. o. However, music can sometimes be loud and disturbing to close neighbors. Additionally, the traffic and parking requirements for these events can mean an inconvenience to neighbors, particularly those who live on 3rd, 4th and Lake Bay Court. These issues are addressed in more detail in the Transportation chapter of this plan. "`. "'' The Park and Recreation Department manages the park system in the City of Lake Oswego. The policies for park use are established by City Council Ordinance. Copies are available on the City's website or can be obtained at City Ha11. The Department currently requires that all events in Millennium Plaza Park end by 10:00 pm. During the Farmers'Market, held every Saturday, May thru October, vendors are required to park their delivery vehicles at City Hall and not on neighborhood streets,however, many can not fit their vehicles into the space at City Hall Parking arrangements are made with local businesses • ' 32 PARKS AND RECREATION • during the larger summer events like the annual Lake Run to provide additional • parking. Based on an arrangement with the Lakeview Village shopping Center, the City can use that lot four times per year for large events. Action Items City Responsibility 1. As the plans for Millennium Plaza Park are completed, include the planting of additional shade trees in the lawn area to provide additional protection from the sun for visitors to the park. 2. Uphold an agreement with the Evergreen Neighborhood Association that allows the association to hold two events at Millennium Plaza Park each '` I 11 year, depending upon availability, at no cost. Neighborhood Responsibility 1. Establish an official neighborhood contact or committee to review and make recommendations for changes to the City's present Millennium Plaza Park practices. The rules for all parks are available for review on-line at: http:// tin www.ci.oswego.or.us/parksrec/Park%2ORules%20Final%20122204.pdf 2.

Floor Area: An accessory structure <_ 18 feet in height shall not exceed 800 sq. ft. in area, or the footprint of the primary structure,whichever is less. An accessory structure greater than 18 feet in height shall not exceed the greater of 600 square feet or the ground floor area of the primary structure, whichever is less. 2. Height: The maximum height of an accessory structure shall be 24 feet, except that no accessory structure shall be taller than the primary structure. 3. Yard Setbacks: The side and rear yard setbacks for an accessory structure <_ 18 feet in height shall be a minimum of 10 feet. The side and rear yard setbacks for an accessory structure 18 feet in height or greater shall be a minimum of 15 feet. Accessory structures on abutting lots may not be built with common •arty walls. 4 a Ear &' a ✓ s �� �r � `1a � j ,ff£ Section 50.08.045 Dwelling Design. 1. Front Setback Plane. a. The front profile of a structure shall fit behind a plane that starts at the front yard setback line and extends upward to feet in height,then slopes toward the rear of the lot at a minimum slope of 6:12, up to the maximum allowed height at the peak, as illustrated in Appendix 50.07-C. b. Exceptions to the front setback plane. Any individual roof form may penetrate the front setback plane if it is less than one-third of the total structure width at 20 feet in height. Two separate and distinct roof forms, such as dormers, may project into the front setback plane if they are less than one-half of the total structure width at 20 feet in height. 2. Maximum Side Yard Plane. The side elevation of a structure must be divided into smaller areas or planes to minimize the appearance of bulk to properties abutting the side elevations of a primary structure. When the side elevation of a primary structure is more than 750 square feet in area, the elevation must be divided into distinct planes of 750 square feet or less. For the purpose of this standard, areas of side-yard wall planes that are entirely separated from other wall planes are those that result in a change in plate height or other change in plane such as a recessed or projecting section of the structure, that projects or recedes at least 2 feet from the adjacent plane, for a length of at least 6 feet. Section 50.65.060 Parking Lot Design Parking shall be designed in compliance with the following criteria: 1. Parking configuration and circulation � ' � �, 3 .fps " vehicles shall be designed to provide access from streets within the District. Off-site, signal or signage improvements may be required if needed to direct traffic away from residential districts. EXHIBIT F-4 2. Driveways to parking areas shall be located to avoid breaking the storefront pattern along primary pedestrian ways. First Street south of`B"Avenue shall be considered a primary pedestrian way. 3. Parking lots and structures shall be sited and designed to mitigate adverse lighting and noise impacts on residents. The reflection of sound by the Lake surface shall be specifically considered. e 1�.y.4 444 �. . 4 4'4�t ":"".X..s -�' sc�rf �.
