Schmitz, City Manager FROM: Sidaro Sin, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Planning Commission's Recommendation to Approve Amendments to LOC 48.20.535(4), Special Street Setbacks DATE: October 1, 2001 ACTION: The action before the City Council is to consider a recommendation made by the Planning Commission at its May 30, 2001 meeting to approve LU 99-0020 and direct staff to prepare findings and finalize Ordinance 2302 for adoption. The City of Lake Oswego is requesting a Zoning Code text amendment to: I. Update the roadways that are subject to the Special Street Setback Code Section. This would result in removal of the special street setback on those roadways where right-of-way widths have been determined to be adequate, and an increase in the special street setback for some roadways due to future planned improvements. 2. Clarify the Purpose and Method of Measurement for LOC 48.20.535(4), Special Street Setbacks, to ensure that it encompasses the need to anticipate all types of planned transportation improvements and provide for a simplified method of measurement. The proposed amendments are identified in Exhibit F1. BACKGROUND: On May 30, 2001, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review this application. Measure 56 notices were sent to those properties fronting on roadways for which the special street setback is proposed to be expanded. Council Report LU 99-0020 003 Page 1 of 6 Staff received approximately 13 phone calls requesting a clarification of the proposed amendments and how they would affect individual properties. Staff discussed the issues raised by the citizen callers. No additional issues were raised. In addition, at the public hearing, two people requested information on how these proposed amendments affected their property. These questions were addressed at the hearing. There were no further issues and the Planning Commission recommended approval of this application to the City Council. The proposed amendments are intended to update a section of the code that has been relatively untouched since 1961. The purpose of the Special Street Setback list is to ensure: 1. That new structures on a property are placed in areas where they would not interfere with possible expanded acquisition of right-of-way width; and 2. Any new structures or surface improvements are set back far enough from the future right- of-way so they would remain in compliance with the zone's required front yard setbacks after the additional right-of-way was obtained. Please refer to Exhibit F2, which provides examples of the application of the setbacks. In the four examples, R-7.5 zoning, with a front yard setback of 25 feet and road right-of-way width of 40 feet (20 feet from centerline on each side), is used for illustration purposes. • Exhibit F2, Example 1 illustrates a typical street without the application of the special street setback. • Exhibit F2, Example 2 illustrates a roadway with the application of the special street setback. • Exhibit F2, Example 3 illustrates the placement of a newly constructed home on a roadway that initially did not have the special setbacks, but now does. • Exhibit F2, Example 4 illustrates the result from removal of the special street setback, which functionally results in a reduction of the front yard setback. Exhibit F2 also provides a summary of frequently asked questions regarding special street setbacks. Applying the special street setback does not constitute a"taking" of property because the property owner is still allowed to develop the parcel for its intended use based on the zoning of the parcel and may use the area in the special street setback so long there are no structures placed in the setback. The special street setback is similar to other required building setbacks (front, side and rear yard setbacks) that are contained in the Zoning Code. Building setbacks are used to promote adequate light, air, aesthetics and general public welfare. Similarly, special street setbacks promote the public interest by providing a setback along rights-of-way which may be expanded in the future, so that if the right-of-way is expanded, an adequate front yard setback will be preserved. Another concern that the Council had was how additional right-of-way was acquired. As a point of clarification, a distinction must be made between"rights-of-way" and "setbacks". A road right-of- way is distinguished from a setback area because the property owner does not have the control of the area which is subject to the right-of-way easement/dedication, whereas, the property owner typically has use of the setback area as long as it is kept free of structures. Right-of-way is obtained through two methods: 1) Exactions, which mitigate negative impacts of development and are Council Report LU 99-0020 004 Page 2 of 6 1 imposed through a land use decision in the form of a condition of approval, or 2) City acquisition. These methods of obtaining rights-of-way are discussed below: 1) Exactions: Right-of-way dedication is sometimes obtained by the City as a requirement of a land use action, where a proposed development negatively impacts the surrounding street system. For example, if a property owner wanted to partition their parcel into two lots, as a condition of approval, the City would require that the property owner dedicate a certain amount of land along the total roadway frontage as a means of mitigating the additional burdens to the street system created by the development. The amount of dedication is based on the existing right-of-way and the impact on the street system resulting from the development. The burden of proof is on the City to demonstrate the "rough proportionality" correlation between the City's requirement to dedicate additional right-of-way and the development proposal's level of impact on the street system. It is common practice now to examine these exactions with minor partitions, subdivisions, planned developments, commercial or multifamily land use developments. 2) City Acquisition: On some occasions the City may have the opportunity to acquire additional right-of-way from property owners, either in title or by easement/dedication. An example of this occurring is when a roadway has been identified for numerous transportation improvements based on increased traffic volumes caused by one or more developments. Most of the right-of-way may already be dedicated through exactions, but the necessary expanded right-of-way width may not be fully dedicated. The City may opt to acquire the necessary right-of-way by title or dedication/easement to make the necessary improvements. For those parcels where the special street setback is being removed or reduced, such removal or reduction of the special street setback is not a"vacation of the right-of-way". Removal or reduction of the special street setback is akin to reduction of a building setback, i.e., front, side, or rear year. It does not "vacate"the easement/dedication for public use of the right-of-way. When the special street setback is removed, the easement/dedication of the existing right-of-way width is not affected, and the parcel's front yard setback is measured from the edge of the existing right-of-way. DISCUSSION: The current Special Street Setback Code Section identifies 74 roadways that require special setbacks. All functional classifications of streets are represented in this list. This section requires updating because some streets on the list have been vacated, some have been fully improved, others have undergone a change in functional classification and some of the written descriptions are tied to obsolete City limit lines. Furthermore, the list is arranged in unrelated, generally alphabetical blocks, which makes finding a particular street difficult. The current Code language promotes flexible street standards, which emphasize neighborhood livability. The policy language found under LOC 42.03.050, the General Standards for Local Residential Streets lends itself to less stringent right-of-way requirements than past language, which required 50-foot of right-of-way for a local street. Due to changes in policy, plans and practices, the proposed amendments are required in order to maintain an applicable list of streets with additional right-of-way needs and Code language that is applicable to today's needs. Council Report LU 99-0020 0 0 5 Page 3 of 6 The Public Facilities Plan (PFP), Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) and Transportation System Plan (TSP) are all examples of plans that the Special Street Setbacks affect. Several of the streets referred to in the 1961 version of the Special Street Setback Code Section are no longer relevant, as the City limit has changed. Many more streets are not included as a result of the continued growth of the City. The above plans include additional streets, which need to be included in the Special Street Setback Code Section in order to accommodate future growth and maintain transportation services at acceptable levels. Amendments for Roadways Subject to Special Street Setbacks As noted previously, the first area suggested for amendment is to update the roadways that are subject to the Special Street Setback Code Section. Four lists: Deletion, Modification, Addition and No Change (Exhibit F3 and identified in Exhibit El Map), have been developed from the original list of 74 roadways. The attached lists in Exhibit F3 have been formatted to provide a snapshot of each street; what it needs (or doesn't), and the reason(s)why it is changing or is not changing. The Engineering staff obtained each street's existing right-of-way width from tax maps, then evaluated each street's ability to accommodate anticipated improvements, given its present functional classification and construction projects identified in the 20-year TSP. Extensive field work was necessary to produce the recommendations in the lists. All of the proposed amendments are consistent with the needs or proposals in either the PFP, CIP or TSP. Summary of amendments: • Deletion List consists of 44 roadways that are recommended for removal from the Special Street Setback Code Section. They are primarily local streets with adequate rights-of-way. • Modification List identifies 19 roadways whose descriptions should be re-worded or whose special street setback should be modified. In most cases, the recommendation is for a reduction in the special street setback. • Addition List identifies 11 roadways including deficient rights-of-way the City has annexed, or could annex because they are within the Urban Growth Boundary(UGB). • No Change List identifies 14 roadways that are on the existing Special Street Setback List, with no changes proposed to them. The final number of roadways that would be subject to the Special Street Setback Code Section is 44. Text Amendments for Purpose and Method of Measurement The second area of amendment is text amendments to clarify: 1) The purpose of the special street setback requirement and 2) The methodology used to ascertain the required right-of-way. 1) The current"purpose" statement, LOC 48.20.535(4), states, "Due to present or anticipated traffic volumes, the following setbacks are established." This statement does not fully reflect the entire uses of streets. Collector and arterial streets have traditionally served other functions: pedestrian and bike facilities, desirable streetscape amenities, and alternative modes of travel. The special street setback purpose statement should reflect the broader scope of these collector and arterial streets. Staff would recommend that this "purpose statement"be broadened to include pedestrian and bike facilities, as well as the need for streetscape amenities. The new proposed "purpose" statement would read as follows: Council Report LU 99-0020 Page 4 of 6 006 "Purpose. To preserve an obstruction-free area along public rights-of-way in anticipation of future street improvements, such as additional lanes, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, transit facilities, drainage management improvements, lighting, and street landscaping." 2) The current methodology used to ascertain the required special street setback is confusing and does not reflect how it is actually determined in practice. The Code currently states that"Setbacks are measured perpendicular from the centerline of the proposed total right of way which is the common property line between abuttingproperties prior to any road dedication." Not in all cases is the common property line between abutting properties the centerline of the dedicated right-of-way. Requiring a search of the creation of the adjacent parcels to determine whether the dedication for the right-of-way was equally given, or whether it was given all from one parcel, is unnecessary and counterproductive to the purpose of the special street setback. By taking the measurement from the established centerline of the right-of-way, the special street setback width can be applied in an equal manner to the adjacent parcels abutting a right-of-way. This change would conform to current practice: Whenever a property owner applies for some kind of land use approval, the special street setback list is consulted for applicability. If the site's frontage street is listed, the "special street setback" dimension is found. Typically, this dimension is measured from the center of the right-of-way and a reference line is identified on the parcel. The reference line is called the "special street setback line" and it represents the edge of the desired half width of the right-of-way. The Zoning Code's front yard setback (or street side-yard setback in the case of corner lots) is then measured from this reference line. This is illustrated in Exhibit F2, Example 2. Staff recommends that the methodology of establishing the line from which the special street setback is measured -- centerline of the right-of-way v. common boundary line --be changed, to follow current practices. The proposed amendments are described in Exhibit Fl. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance 2302. EXHIBITS A.

There were no votes against. V. GENERAL PLANNING— WORK SESSION Update on Redevelopment Activity Robert Galante, Redevelopment Agency Director, reported the progress of redevelopment on Blocks 136 and 138 and Millennium Park. He announced that an undisclosed retail tenant had agreed to lease the ground floor of the retail/office building facing A Avenue from Block 136 and that Windermere Realtors had leased the upper floor. He noted that the remainder of the block would feature town homes. He advised that a traffic diverter had been installed to discourage traffic from flowing into nearby City of Lake Oswego Planning Commission - 013 Page 1 of 15 Minutes of May 30,2001 EXHIBIT C residential areas at the request of the adjacent neighborhood association. He showed illustrations and building elevations for Block 138. He pointed out two structures that would face the park and he advised that it was possible that the high local demand for restaurants might mean that both buildings would include a restaurant. He pointed out the pattern of retail uses at ground level and one or two levels of office uses above the retail. He advised that the four-level parking structure would be fairly hidden behind other buildings. He also advised that Downtown Design Standards called for English Tudor, American Rustic and Arts and Crafts design styles, but did not require exact historic reproductions. He clarified that the purpose of redevelopment was to establish vitality and a sense of place downtown and the design was to focus on the streetscape and storefronts. He explained the garage would accommodate 336 parking spaces and its floor levels and ceiling heights were planned to provide access for delivery vehicles and pedestrian access to the adjacent retail and office uses. He noted that the below grade level was for employee parking, the two middle levels would serve the general public and retail customers and the upper level would serve the office use. He advised that he was to meet with neighborhood residents to discuss the project and would then participate in a preapplication conference with the staff. He anticipated the proposal would be ready for Development Review Commission review in the fall of 2001. Mr. Galante noted that although some residents had initially felt that there was an excess of paving at Millennium Park, use of the Park showed that even more paved area would have been useful there. He pointed out a parcel of land that the City did not yet own where the original plan had shown a grand staircase down to the lake from First Street. He explained that construction of the staircase would require the City to acquire a second railroad crossing, but the railroad was not inclined to agree to a crossing because they anticipated a future time when they would need to install two tracks to accommodate passenger traffic. He said the City had hired an attorney to negotiate crossing agreements. He clarified that the Union Pacific Railroad owned the tracks and leased them to the Northern and Western Railroad. He advised that the City had previously purchased two segments of track and a pedestrian/park easement within the corridor; however, part of the easement had been subsequently classified as a "wetland edge" that could not be disturbed, which meant the walkway had to be located closer to the railroad tracks. He related that the City owned a crossing at Third Street and had also purchased a tract of developable land (for up to 24 lots) that extended into the water at Third Street. He explained that the purchase had been intended to protect the public view of Lakewood Bay and provide for access for emergency services. He anticipated that an extension of the Park would be constructed in the area of some existing garages serving an adjacent condominium project after an underground parking structure was built that would also the condominiums. He also anticipated the Park's tree grove would be expanded, basalt walls would be extended, and a handicapped ramp would provide access to the lower plaza. Mr. Galante anticipated that improvement of a segment of First Street between A and B Avenues would begin in August 2001. He said the City intended to encourage ground level retail along the street, which would feature brick buildings, sidewalks and streets City of Lake Oswego Planning Commission 014 Page 2 of 15 Minutes of May 30,2001 and a pedestrian orientation. He noted there was to be a mid-block pedestrian crossing. He said the City was preparing to focus its redevelopment efforts on the blocks across A Avenue from Blocks 136, 137 and 138 and the Foothills Road area. He clarified for the Commissioners that a green park would be planted on top of the underground parking structure at the park, and that the original plan for Lake Plaza had been changed after public comments indicated citizens desire to maintain a walking path there. He also clarified that the Redevelopment Agency's top priorities at Millennium Park were to obtain a grade crossing, then to build the walkway and handicapped ramp in late 2001 or early 2002. Mr. Galante shared with the Commissioners that Michael Wheeler, Associate Planner, was leaving his position after nearly 15 years of employment with the City. He encouraged any Commission members who had the opportunity to work with Mr. Wheeler to give him a call and thank him for his services. VI. PUBLIC HEARING LU 99-0020, a request by the City of Lake Oswego for a Zoning Code Text amendment to LOC 48.20.535(4), Special Street Setbacks (SSS). This amendment will update the list of roadways in the City that would be subject to the special street setbacks requirement. Staff Coordinator was Sidaro Sin, Associate Planner. Acting Chair Vizzini opened the public hearing and explained the procedures and time limits to be followed. He asked the Commissioners to report exparte contacts, biases or conflicts of interest related to the application. None were reported. No one challenged any Commissioner's right to hear the application. Sidaro Sin, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. He said the City was requesting the Zoning Code Text Amendment to the Special Street Setback section of the code in order to update roadways where the Special Setback requirements were to apply and to clarify the preamble of that section regarding the purpose and methodology in which to ascertain the required right of way. He advised that few changes had been made to the Special Street Setback section since 1961 and the proposed changes would make it more consistent with the Transportation System Plan (TSP), City limit boundaries, the Capital Improvement Plan and the Public Facilities Plan. He said the Special Street Setback ensured that new structures were placed in areas that would not interfere with future expanded us of the right of way and that any property improvements would be set back far enough from the required right of way to ensure they were in compliance with the zone's required front yard setback after additional right of way was dedicated or acquired. He clarified that changes in streets and street functional classification and references to obsolete City limits required the changes. If additional right of way were shown, the City would either acquire it or obtain it as a condition of approval for land partitions or development. He noted that the City proposed to add 11 roadways to the SSS requirement to accommodate future improvements - including bike and pedestrian lanes— and modify it along 18 roadways. City of Lake Oswego Planning Commission 015 Page 3 of 15 Minutes of May 30, 2001 He pointed out that most of the changes indicated right of way reductions that typically were approximately five feet. He said 45 roadways would be deleted form the SSS listing because they currently featured adequate right of way for planned future improvements. He noted no change was proposed for 14 roadways on the list. Mr. Sin said the text amendments proposed to broaden the purpose of the SSS requirement to indicate that public rights of way were to preserve an obstruction-free area so they could accommodate future street improvements. He said the amendments clarified that the reference line was to be established by measuring from the centerline of the right of way. He noted the current methodology referenced a common property line between abutting properties prior to any road dedication. He said that did not apply to many circumstances the City encountered. He advised the application had met the burden of proof and complied with all applicable criteria in the Comprehensive Plan. He recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the application. Commissioner Groznik noted that portions of Carman Road would be treated differently if the proposal were adopted. Mr. Sin explained that some sections of Carman Road already included adequate right of way. He clarified that the width of the right of way was tied to a street's functional classification. He noted that the centerline of most streets was known, but in some areas, such as a section of Boones Ferry Road, the centerline had been changed over time, so staff was recommending that it be 50 feet from the centerline at this time until the Boones Ferry Road Corridor Study was completed. The Boones Ferry Road Corridor Study would supersede the 50 foot SSS required and it would also locate the centerline and determine what the appropriate right-of-way should be. Proponents None. Opponents None. Neither For Nor Against John D. Klosterman, 5605 Washington Court, Lake Oswego, 97035, asked how the proposal would impact his property value. He explained he owned a substandard sized lot along Washington Court and he was not certain where the centerline of the roadway was located. He wondered if the proposal would mean that his front yard would be reduced. Mr. Sin advised that Washington Court was identified as a part of the improvement area, and the proposal would enlarge the existing 40-foot wide right of way to 50 feet there. He noted the additional 10 feet would come from the frontage of properties along City of Lake Oswego Planning Commission 0-16 Page 4 of 15 Minutes of May 30,2001 Washington Court (generally, 5 feet from each side). He also advised that the City proposed to improve streets to the City's minimum standard paved area of 20 feet wide. He noted that since a large portion of Washington Court was still in the County, that would not happen until the City annexed the area. Mr. Klosterman explained that his property was within the City and he understood that the City planned to improve the roadway this summer. Jane Heisler, Community Planning Manager, explained that if he planned to build a structure on his lot he would need to measure 25 feet from the roadway centerline to find his front boundary and then measure the zone's required front yard setback from that point. Mr. Klosterman indicated he desired more specific information regarding how the amendment would impact his lot. Evan Boone, Deputy City Attorney, advised that property owners could request a variance from the front yard setback requirement in order to provide sufficient space for a single family dwelling. Mr. Klosterman stressed that he did not want any reduction in his front yard. He asked if the City could establish exactly where the centerline was located in front of his property. Ms. Heisler confirmed that City staff would accomplish that. Marianna O'Brien, Barette Properties, PO Box 906, Lake Oswego, 97034, stated that she owned that Lake Grove Shopping Center at Bryant and Boones Ferry Road. She asked what the City planned for those roadways. The staff explained that the Boones Ferry Road Corridor was currently being studied and the City's proposal for changes in the SSS would not impact the roadway along her property per se, because no changes to Bryant Road were being proposed. However, the Boones Ferry Road Corridor Study would dictate what improvements are made on Boones Ferry Road. Acting Chair Vizzini closed the public hearing and opened deliberations. Deliberations Commissioner Edwards moved to recommend that City Council approve LU 99- 0020. Commissioner Edwards seconded the motion and it passed with Acting Chair Vizzini and Commissioners Edwards, Groznik, Johnson and Waring voting yes. There were no votes against. Acting Chair Vizzini announced the final vote on LU 99-0020 would be held on June 11, 2001. LU 01-0010, a request by the City of Lake Oswego for an amendment to the City's Urban Service Boundary (USB) to bring the subject properties into the City's USB and apply a Comprehensive Plan designation of General Commercial District (GC) to Tax Map/Lot 21E18BC00100 and Industrial Park District (IP) to the railroad right-of-way, Tax Map/Lot 21E18(Index)00300.

FINDINGS A. Background: The proposed amendments are intended to update a section of the code that has been relatively untouched since 1961. The purpose of the special street setback list has been to ensure: 1. That new structures on a property were placed in areas where they would not interfere with the future expanded use of the right-of-way; and 2. Any new structures or surface improvements were set back far enough from the future right-of-way so they would remain in compliance with the zone's required front yard setbacks after the additional right-of-way was dedicated. The current Special Street Setback Section identifies 74 streets that require special setbacks (Exhibit F2). All functional classifications of streets are represented in this list. The list is arranged in unrelated, generally alphabetical blocks, which makes finding a particular street difficult. This section requires updating because some streets on the list have been vacated, some have been fully improved, others have undergone a change in functional classification and some of the written descriptions are tied to obsolete City limit lines. There are two areas of amendments proposed for the Special Street Setback Section: 1) Street right-of-way requirements; and 2) Text amendments to clarify the purpose of this section and the methodology used to ascertain the required right-of-way. The proposed amendments are identified in Exhibit F l. Discussion Due to changes in policy, plans and practices these amendments are required in order to maintain an applicable list of streets with additional right-of-way needs and Code language that is applicable to today's needs. The policy language found under LOC 42.03.050, the General Standards for Local Residential Street (Exhibit F3), lends itself to less stringent right-of-way requirements than past language, which required 50-foot of right-of-way for a local street. The current Code language promotes flexible street standards which emphasizes neighborhood livability. The Public Facilities Plan, Capital Improvements Plan and Transportation System Plan (TSP) are all examples of plans that the Special Street Setbacks affect. Several of the streets referred to in the 1961 version of the Special street setback Section are no longer relevant, as the City limit has changed. Many more streets are not included as a result of the continued growth of the City. The above plans include additional streets, which need to be included in • 021 LU 99-0020 Page 3 of 13 the Special Street Setback Section in order to accommodate future growth and maintain transportation services at acceptable levels. As noted previously, the first area suggested for amendment is street right-of- way requirements. Four lists: Deletion, Modification, Addition and No Change (Exhibit F4 and Exhibit El Map), have been developed from the original list of 74 streets. The attached list has been formatted to provide you with a snapshot of each street, what it needs (or doesn't), and the reason(s) why. The Engineering staff obtained each street's existing right-of-way width from tax maps, then evaluated each street's ability to accommodate anticipated improvements, given its present functional classification and construction projects identified in the 20-year TSP. Extensive field work was necessary to produce the recommendations in the lists. The deletion list is a compilation of streets recommended for removal from the Special Street Setback Section. They are primarily local streets with adequate rights-of-way. The modification list is a compilation of streets whose descriptions should be re-worded, or whose special street setback should be modified. In most cases, the recommendation is for a reduction in the special street setback. The addition list includes deficient rights-of-way the City has annexed, or could annex because they are within the Urban Growth Boundary(UGB). The No Change list identifies roadways that are on the existing Special Street Setback List, with no changes proposed to them. The second area of amendment is text amendments to clarify the purpose of the special street setback requirement and the methodology used to ascertain the required right-of-way. LOC 48.20.535(4) states, "Due to present or anticipated traffic volumes, the following setbacks are established." This statement no longer adequately reflects the reason why there are special street setbacks. This statement should reflect the broader scope of current policies which promote neighborhood friendly streets and alternative modes of travel. Staff would recommend that this "purpose statement"be broadened to include pedestrian and bike facilities, as well as the room needed to install desirable streetscape amenities. In addition, the method to determine the required right-of-way setback is no longer applicable to all situations. Whenever a property owner applies for some kind of land use approval, the list is consulted for applicability. If the site's frontage street is listed, the "special street setback" dimension is found at the end of its name. Typically, this dimension is measured from the center of the right-of-way and a reference line is identified on the parcel. The reference line is called the"special street setback line" and it represents the edge of the desired half right-of-way. The Zoning Code's front yard setback 022 LU 99-0020 Page 4 of 13 (or street side-yard setback in the case of corner lots) is then measured from this reference line. Unfortunately, this method is unreliable in many ways. This method fails to deliver a rational product under certain circumstances. For example, when a right-of-way evolved by the platting of two "unequal halves" (Pilkington Road, Exhibit F5), the problem is exacerbated. The Code directs you to take a measurement from "the common property line between abutting properties prior to any road dedication." This can mean a substantial exaction of right- of-way from a lot abutting the "narrow half', but none from its counterpart on the other side of the road. The Code is not sensitive to the fact that the neighborhood's structures were placed equidistant from the edges of the right- of-way. Strict adherence to the Code would upset the historic and symmetrical development pattern by taking a disproportionate strip of right- of-way from one side. Another quandary with the current methodology is that it is not sensitive to the fact that a legal centerline can shift over time, as in the case of Boones Ferry Road (Exhibit F6), and that adjacent development has occurred with reliance on the new centerline. In addition, it does not recognize that improvements can be significantly offset from a centerline, regardless of how "centerline" is defined. This has a significant bearing on where strips of additional right-of-way should be acquired. Based on the above problems with the current methodology, staff has recommended that a new method of measurement for the special street setback requirement be followed. B. Compliance with Criteria for Approval: As per LOC 49.22.200, the applicant shall bear the burden of proof that the proposal complies with all applicable review criteria. Adequate evidence has been provided to enable staff to perform a thorough evaluation to determine compliance with applicable criteria, listed on page 2 of this report. A. CITY OF LAKE OSWEGO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES GOAL 1: CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT Policies 5 and 10 5. Seek citizen input through service organizations, interest groups and individuals, as well as through neighborhood organizations. 023 LU 99-0020 Page 5 of 13 10. Provide opportunities for citizens to be involved in the planning process, including data collection, plan preparation, adoption, implementation, evaluation and revision. Findings: This application addresses policies 5 and 10 above. Pursuant to the requirements of a legislative process, announcements for the proposed Zoning Code text amendments have been provided to all Neighborhood Associations. In addition, notices pursuant to Measure 56 requirements have been provided to all property owners which may be affected by this legislative action. Citizens, interest groups, and neighborhood association will have an opportunity to participate in the review of the proposed amendment during the City's public hearing processes. Conclusion: The application complies with Goal 1, Citizen Involvement Policies 5 and 10. GOAL 2: LAND USE PLANNING Section 1, Land Use, Policy 4(d) Section 2, Community Design and Aesthetics, Policies 1(d) & 4 4. Require land use regulations to: d. Provide for necessary public facilities and services. Findings: The City's Special Street Setback section of the Zoning Code has been relatively untouched since 1961. This section requires updating because some streets on the list have been vacated, some have been fully improved, others have undergone a change in functional classification and some of the written descriptions are tied to obsolete City limit lines. The purpose of the special street setback list is to ensure: • That new structures on a property are placed in areas where they would not interfere with the future expanded use of the right-of-way; and • Any new structures or surface improvements are set back far enough from the future right-of-way so they will remain in compliance with the zone's required front yard setbacks after the additional right-of- way was dedicated. By updating this section of the Zoning Code, the City is establishing and preserving an obstruction free area along public rights-of-way in anticipation of future street improvements, such as additional lanes, pedestrian and bicycle 024 LU 99-0020 Page 6 of 13 facilities, transit facilities, drainage management improvements, lighting and street landscaping. Those rights-of-way that have been added to the list of Special Street Setbacks have been added because they have been identified for improvements in either the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), Transportation System Plan (TSP), or have been identified as not meeting the City's minimum standards for urban services such, as not have a minimum of 20-feet of pavement for a roadway. The funding source for many of these improvements have yet to be identified. The City would make findings and require dedication of these additional rights-of-way when they are proportional to the land development. These exactions would be required for minor partitions, subdivisions, planned developments, commercial or multifamily land use decisions. On occasion, these exactions could be required for lot line adjustments, if the adjustment resulted in creating additional buildable lands. Conclusion: The application complies with Goal 2, Section 1, Policy 4(d). 1. Enact and maintain regulations and standards which require: d. Measures to foster a safe and interesting transit and pedestrian environment. Findings: The minimum right-of-way standards found in the City's Special Street Setback regulation establishes an obstruction free area in which facility improvements can occur. These improvements include transportation facilities such as bike/pedestrian lanes, transit facilities, lighting and street landscaping. All of these improvements enhance the security and aesthetic quality of roadways. Conclusion: The application complies with Goal 2, Section 2, Policy 1(d). 4. Ensure that both public and private development enhance the aesthetic quality of the community. Findings: The Special Street Setback Section establishes unobstructed rights- of-way in which transportation improvements are anticipated. As previously noted, the City would require developers to provide transit improvements to City standards that are proportional to a development. These transportation improvements could include street landscaping, bike lanes, sidewalks and lighting, all of which serve to enhance the aesthetic quality of the community. 025 LU 99-0020 Page 7 of 13 Public improvements are subject to the same design and improvements standards as a private developer. In cases where additional right-of-way is required and no private development has been proposed, the City may opt to make public improvements and acquire the additional right-of-way, depending on such factors as public need, timing and funding. Conclusion: The application complies with Goal 2, Section , Policy 4. GOAL 12: TRANSPORTATION Subgoal 1: Major Street System, Policies 1(a), 7 Subgoal 2: Inter-Governmental Coordination, Policy 1(e) Subgoal 6: Walking, Policy 4 Subgoal 7: Bicycling, Policy 1 Subgoal 1: Major Street System 1. The arterial and major collector street network shall be designed and maintained to service level "E" during peak hours. The design of the roadway system shall also take into consideration: a. Balancing roadway size and scale with the need to provide efficient and safe transportation for all modes of travel, including bike,pedestrian and transit. Findings: In 1998, the City adopted its TSP. Within the TSP a system of hierarchical street classifications was developed with local streets being the smallest, least intensive roadways and major arterials being the widest and most intensively used roadways. Within these classifications, street improvements have been identified as appropriate in relation to the classification of the roadway. These improvements are anticipated to be implemented as the street system is developed over time. In addition to road classification, another element of the TSP is the Streets Public Facilities Plan. The state administrative rules for public facilities planning requires communities to provide a list of short, mid and long range projects that it foresees for all modes of transportation, estimated costs of these projects, approximate locations and possible funding sources. The Special Street Setback regulation takes into consideration specific roadways that have been identified in the TSP for additional right-of-way acquisition. These additional rights-of-way are directly related to and support the Streets Public Facilities Plan of the TSP. The ultimate result of implementing the Special Street Setback Section and Streets Public Facilities Plan of the TSP is a logical, hierarchical comprehensive transportation system that enhances the aesthetic and functional qualities of the City's roadways. 026 LU 99-0020 Page 8 of 13 Conclusion: The application complies with Goal 12, Subgoal 1, Policy 1(a). 7. Streets designated as Regional Streets on the Regional Transportation Plan, shall be designed with consideration of the following when reconstruction or retrofitting occurs: a. Promoting community livability by balancing all modes of transportation; b. Relating the street to the function and character of surrounding land uses; and c. Controlling access to improve safety, function and appearance of streets and adjacent land uses. Findings: On August 10, 2000, the Metro Council adopted the 2000 Regional Transportation Plan (2000 RTP). The 2000 TRP has been submitted to the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission for acknowledgement (a decision of compliance is expected by Summer of 2001). The 2000 TRP Regional Street Design System Map identifies portions of State Street (Highway 43), portions of Boones Ferry Road, Kruse Way and Country Club Road as "Regional Streets. The objective of the Regional Street design is to support local implementation of regional street design concepts in local transportation system plans. The City's TSP takes the above considerations into account, as discussed in Goal 12, Subgoal 1, Policy 1(a). Conclusion: The application complies with Goal 12, Subgoal 1, Policy 7. Subgoal 2: Inter-Governmental Coordination, Policy 1(e) 1. Lake Oswego shall develop a Comprehensive Transportation System (TSP) in conjunction with Clackamas County and adjacent counties where appropriate, the State of Oregon, Tri- Met, and Metro for the area within the City's Urban Services Boundary. The Comprehensive Transportation System Plan shall: e. Describe public transportation services and identify service inadequacies. Findings: As previously discussed under Goal 12, Subgoal 1, Policy 1(a), an element of the•TSP is the Streets Public Facilities Plan, which specifically addresses this criterion. Conclusion: The application complies with the Goal 12, Subgoal 2, Policy 1(e). 027 LU 99-0020 Page 9 of 13 Subgoal 6: Walking, Policy 4 4. The City shall make the pedestrian environment safe, convenient, attractive and accessible for all users through: a. 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). b. Providing adequate and safe street crossing opportunities for pedestrians, and c. Improving street amenities (e.g., landscaping, pedestrian-scale street lighting, benches and shelters) for pedestrian, particularly near transit centers, town centers, main streets, employment centers, and transit corridors serving the primary transit network. Findings: As previously discussed in this staff report, the Special Street Setback Section provides the opportunity to develop safe, convenient and aesthetically sensitive pedestrian facilities. Conclusion: The application complies with Goal 12, Subgoal 6, Policy 4. Subgoal 7: Bicycling, Policy 1 1. Integrate bicycle access needs into planning, design, construction and maintenance of all transportation projects. Findings: As previously discussed in this staff report, the Special Street Setback Section provides the opportunity to develop safe and convenient bicycling facilities. Conclusion: The application complies with Goal 12, Subgoal 7, Policy 1. B. CONSISTENCY WITH METRO'S URBAN GROWTH 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 028 LU 99-0020 Page 10 of 13 addressed when Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments are proposed through the quasi-judicial or legislative processes. The following identifies how the application complies with the relevant portions of the Metro Functional Plan. 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. The inclusion of these special street setbacks on these rights-of-way will provide for additional road improvements and provide additional opportunities for transportation mode choices, thereby supporting the intent of this Title. C. CONSISTENCY WITH STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS Goal 1 -Citizen Involvement Pursuant to the requirements of a legislative process, announcements for the proposed Zoning Code text amendments have been provided to all Neighborhood Associations. In addition, notices pursuant to Measure 56 requirements have been provided to all property owners which may be affected by this legislative action. Public hearings will be held before the Planning Commission and City Council. Notice has been provided consistent with City requirements. Adequate opportunities have been made available for citizen involvement with regard to this application for amendment of the City of Lake Oswego's Comprehensive Plan. Goal 2 - Land Use Planning This application provides the required information and responses to the applicable approval standards for a Zoning Code text amendment and therefore is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 2. Furthermore, the application has been coordinated with the applicable jurisdictions and agencies as required by Goal 2. Goal 12 - Transportation This application provides the required information and positive responses to the applicable acknowledged Plan policies relative to transportation facilities. The application therefore is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 12 and implementing administrative rules. 02 9 LU 99-0020 Page 11 of13 D.

Schmitz, City Manager FROM: Sidaro Sin, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Frequently Asked Questions for Special Street Setback Code and Examples of Special Street Setbacks DATE: October 1, 2001 What are Special Street Setbacks? A Special Street Setback (SSS) is a specified distance from the centerline of certain City roadways specified in the Zoning code, from which setbacks for proposed development are to be measured. The SSS list in the Zoning Code allows a property owner to locate their new structure or addition outside of the area needed for future planned improvements identified on the City's Public Facilities Plan for Transportation. What is the Purpose of the Special Street Setback? The SSS is a transportation and land use planning tool used to preserve an obstruction-free area along public rights-of-way in anticipation of future street improvements, such as additional lanes, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, transit facilities, drainage management improvements, lighting, and street landscaping. Why are Amendments Being Proposed? This section of the Code has not been updated since 1961, therefore, the list of streets has not been updated to take into consideration expansion of the City limits (additional roadways), vacation of some roadways and roadway improvements that have been completed so that an SSS is no longer needed. The current list does not reflect these changes. These amendments will also provide consistency between the SSS and the City's Transportation System Plan (TSP), Capital Improvement Plan (CEP) and Public Facilities Plan (PFP). How is the Special Street Setback Code Applied? Whenever a property owner applies for a land use application, the Special Street Setback list is consulted for applicability. If the street the site is located on is listed, then the special street setback dimension is found and applied. The dimension is measured from the center of the right-of-way and a reference line is identified on the parcel. The reference line represents the edge of the desired future half right-of-way. The zoning district's front yard setback (or street side-yard setback in the case of corner lots) is then measured from this reference line. This is illustrated in Example 2. FAQ for Special Street Setback Page I 041 EXHIBIT F•2 Example 1.

Inadequacies: Center left turn lanes needed in certain areas, no bike lanes over majority of corridor, areas with no sidewalks or substandard sidewalks. Improvement Plans: Lane widening and bike lanes in the Kruse Way to Madrona corridor, intersection improvements at various locations, bike lanes from Country Club Road to north city limits. Comment: Existing ROW varies from 60' to over 80' (near major intersections). The section between the Tualatin city limits and Madrona Street have been widened, and the necessary right of way or easements have been acquired. The City is engaged in a corridor study for the section between Madrona Street and Mercantile Drive. The study will have specific right of way recommendations that will, upon adoption by the City Council, become the special street setbacks for that section. Until that study is finalized and adopted however, it would be prudent to have an interim method in place. Staff anticipates that the ultimate improvements will consist of five lanes with bike paths, landscape strips and 8-foot sidewalks. These street improvements will require a 94'-100' ROW. The section of Boones Ferry Road between Country Club Road and the north city limits is a minor arterial and should retain its special street setback designation of 40 feet. Recommended Modification: 1) Increase the special street setback from 40' to 50'for the section between West Sunset Drive and Mercantile Drive, with a proviso that this dimension will be superseded by the Council's adoption of a corridor study for the affected area. 2) Egan Way Functional Classification: Local street Inadequacies: narrow pavement, no pedestrian accommodation Improvement Plans: None Comment: North/south leg has adequate ROW. East/west leg has inadequate ROW for possible future widening or pedestrian improvements, but the special street setback is excessive. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as: Egan Way—east/west leg 2) Reduce the special street setback from 25' to 20' 059 Modification List, Special Street Setbacks Page 1 City Council Public Hearing,October 16,2001 3) Firwood Road from Boones Ferry Road to Bonaire Avenue Functional classification: Local street Inadequacies: Narrow pavement, no pedestrian accommodations. Improvement Plans: Bike lanes between Boones Ferry Road and Waluga Drive Comment: The existing special street setback of 30' should be retained for the section of roadway between Boones Ferry Road and Waluga Drive to permit the future bike lanes to meander among the significant trees along this street. West of Waluga Drive, a standard 40' ROW will be adequate. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as Firwood Road 2) Reduce the special street as follows: Between Boones Ferry Road and Waluga Drive, 30'. West of Waluga Drive, 20'. 4) Knaus Rd. from Country Club Rd. to north City limits Functional Classification: Neighborhood Collector Comment: Delete the description of Knaus Rd. (i.e. "from Country club Rd. to north City limits" Recommended Modification: New description, Knaus Rd. 5) Lakeview Boulevard from Bryant Road To Summit Drive Functional Classification: Neighborhood Collector Inadequacies: Narrow pavement, limited sight distance on curves, poor pedestrian accommodation through the curves at the east end. Improvement Plans: A pathway has been constructed along the westerly two-thirds of this segment. The TSP calls for completing the path through the curves to the east. Comment: Topographic constraints will force the construction of transportation improvements to occur in the narrowest possible right of way, especially through the curves at the east end. Even so, slope easements or limited right of way acquisition could become necessary because the road is not centered in the right of way. Proposed pathway improvements will run to Iron Mountain Boulevard. The area is built-out, with little potential for redevelopment or building additions that would jeopardize required right of way acquisition. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as Lakeview Boulevard from Bryant Road to Iron Mountain Boulevard. 6) Lake Grove Street from Reese Road to Upper Drive Functional Classification: Local Street Inadequacies: Spotty improvements, right of way varies from 30' to 50'. Improvement Plans: Shared bike lanes (implying minor road widening), pathway on one side. 060 Modification List, Special Street Setbacks Page 2 City Council Public Hearing, October 16,2001 Comment: Road/sidewalk improvements have been completed at the west end, which is zoned for commercial and high density uses. Anticipated improvements could fit in a 40' ROW through the lower density zoning. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as Lake Grove Avenue 2) Reduce the special street setback from 30' to 20'. 7) Lamont Way Functional Classification: Local Street Inadequacies: Narrow lanes, no accommodations for the pedestrian Improvement Plans: None Comment: The majority of the right of way is 30' wide. Unconnected, irregular dedications have occurred along the frontage of small developments. Lamont Springs Natural Area has a long frontage on the north side. A church is located midblock on the south side. The existing special street setback is excessive to accommodate modest pedestrian improvements. Recommended Modification: 1) Reduce the special street setback from 25'to 20'. 8) Lanewood Street through south leg of Douglas Circle Functional Classification: Local street Inadequacies: Narrow pavement, poor pedestrian accommodation. Improvement Plans: Added shoulder pathway, presumably along the south side of Lanewood and connecting through onto the south side of the Douglas Circle loop. Comment: Lanewood street is a hodgepodge of varying ROW width. Douglas Circle's ROW is 30' wide. Two lanes and a pathway can be constructed in a standard 40' ROW. Recommended Modification: 1) Reduce the special street setback from 25 to 20'. 9) Lower Drive from Boones Ferry Road to Bryant Road (south from railroad right of way) Functional Classification: Local Street Inadequacies: Narrow pavement, no pedestrian accommodations. Improvement Plans: None Comment: Since this code was drafted, Rosewood was been dead-ended at Boones Ferry Road, eliminating its potential of being a through street. Recommended Modification: 1) Reduce the special street setback from 25 to 20'. 10) McVey Ave from Kilkenny to south City limits Functional Classification: Minor Arterial Comments: McVey redescribed as Stafford Rd from South Shore Blvd. Modification List, Special Street Setbacks Page 3 City Council Public Hearing, October 16, 2001 11) McVey Ave from State Street to Kilkenny Functional Classification: Minor Arterial Comment: Revise description, McVey only goes to South Shore Blvd. Recommended Modification: New Description, McVey Ave from State Street to South Shore Boulevard. 12) North Shore road from its terminus east to State Street Functional Classification: Local Street Inadequacies: Narrow pavement, no accommodations for the pedestrian Improvement Plans: None Comment: The right of way is adequate except for a narrow section along the railroad right of way. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as North Shore Road abutting the railroad right of way. 2) Redescribe the special street setback as 30'measured from the south line of the railroad right of way. 13) Oakridge Road from Quarry Road to Bonaire Avenue Functional Classification: Neighborhood Collector Inadequacies: Narrow pavement, poor accommodations for pedestrians Improvement Plans: Bike lanes between Boones Ferry and Quarry Comment: The functional classification has been expanded to include the section between Quarry Road and Waluga Drive. If sidewalks or meandering paths are required as a condition of redevelopment or infill, the existing 30 and 40' ROW will be inadequate. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as Oakridge Road 14) Pilkington Road from Boones Ferry Road to south City limits (entire length) Functional classification: Major Collector Inadequacies: Lacking bike lanes/ sidewalks in many areas. Improvement plans: Intersection improvements (add left turn lanes) at Jean Road and Childs Road, add bike lanes and sidewalks. Comment: Potential additional right of way must be preserved free of structures, especially on the east side north of Jean Road. There is sufficient right of way between Boones Ferry Road and Rosewood Street. The existing 30' special street setback has proven to be effective. The description should be modified to remove the reference to the city limits, as this is a moving target, and the City's planning efforts extend into the unincorporated area up to Childs Road. Secondly, this right of way is comprised of two "unequal halves," which has led to different interpretations of where the centerline is located for the purpose of establishing 062 Modification List, Special Street Setbacks Page 4 City Council Public Hearing, October 16, 2001 a setback reference line. Is it the arithmetic split of the existing right of way or is it the line where abutting plats meet in the right of way? After taking into consideration past practice, historic development patterns, and the need to have proper intersection alignments in the future, staff finds that the special street setback line should be measured from the east line of Rosewood plat. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as Pilkington Road south of Rosewood Street 2) Prescribe that the special street setback line shall be measured as 30' from the east line of Rosewood plat. 15) South Shore Boulevard (Entire length) Functional Classification: Major Collector Inadequacies: Lack of separated bike and pedestrian facilities. Improvement Plans: Intersection improvements (left turn lanes) at Westview Drive and Fernwood Drive, add pathway on south side, bike lanes on both sides. Comment: Anticipated improvements and extremely variable topographic conditions warrant keeping the existing 40' special street setback. The description should be modified to begin with the street name. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as South Shore Boulevard 16) Summit Drive from Lakeview Boulevard to Iron Mountain Boulevard Functional Classification: Local Street Inadequacies: Narrow lanes, poor sight distance around curves, no pedestrian accommodation. Improvement Plans: None Comment: The existing right of way varies between 30' and 40'. The inadequate area is limited to the section of roadway between Lakeview Boulevard and Ridgewood Road. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as Summit Drive between Lakeview Boulevard and Ridgewood Road. 2) Modify the special street setback from 25' to 20'. 17) Sunset Drive from Bryant Road to Reese Road Functional Classification: Local street Improvement Plans: None Comment: The ROW varies from 30' to 40'. Full width street improvements have been accomplished at the east end along the Lake Grove Presbyterian Church properties. The improvements fit in a 40' ROW. The description does not need to cite the intersection streets at each end. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as Sunset Drive. 2) Modify the special street setback from 25' to 20'. 46 3 Modification List, Special Street Setbacks Page 5 City Council Public Hearing,October 16,2001 18) Tualatin Street from Lower Drive to Lakeview Boulevard Functional Classification: Local street Inadequacies: Narrow lanes, no pedestrian accommodation Improvement Plans: None Comment: Anticipated improvements could fit in a 40' ROW. The description does not need to cite the intersecting streets at each end. Recommended Modification: 1) Re-describe as Tualatin Street 2) Reduce the special street setback from 25'to 20'. 19) Upper Drive from Iron Mountain Boulevard to west City limits Functional Classification: Neighborhood collector between Bryant Road and Iron Mountain Boulevard; local street west of Bryant Road. Inadequacies: Narrow lanes, gaps in pathway system, no bike lanes Improvement Plans: Shared roadway bike lane between Twin Fir Road and the Iron Mountain Boulevard/Lakeview Boulevard/Upper Drive traffic circle. Add shoulder pathway between Reese Road and Bryant Road. Install traffic signal at Upper/Bryant intersection. Comment: Existing 30' ROW is too narrow for anticipated improvements. Existing special street setback of 30 feet, however, is excessive. 1) Reduce the special street setback from 30' to 25'.
