Site design shall meet the following objectives:

1.

Livability. Development should contribute to a livable neighborhood by incorporating visually pleasing design, minimizing the impact of vehicles, emphasizing pedestrian and bicycle connections, and providing public and private open spaces for outdoor use.

2.

Compatibility. Development should have a scale that is appropriate for the surrounding neighborhood and maintains the overall character of the neighborhood.

3.

Safety and Functionality. Development should be safe and functional, by providing visibility into and within a mixed-use or residential development and by creating a circulation system that prioritizes bicycle and pedestrian safety.

4.

Sustainability. Development should incorporate sustainable design and building practices, such as energy conservation, preservation of trees and open space, quality building materials, and alternative transportation modes.

B.

Development in the Kingston Terrace District requires a minimum level of design.

Figure 16.114-10 Kingston Terrace District Locally Significant Wetland Resource Map
Figure 16.114-10 Kingston Terrace District Locally Significant Wetland Resource Map

[Note: placeholder only; to be replaced by the LWI for the Kingston Terrace District upon LWI adoption by the city. Only a property indicated on Figure 16.114-10 as a "Property Included in LWI" shall be reviewed for development.]

A.

Purpose. The purpose of Section 16.114.080 is to establish wetland protections for properties within the Kingston Terrace District consistent with OAR 660-023-0100 and for the implementation a safe harbor ordinance to protect significant wetlands identified in the City's adopted Local Wetlands Inventory (LWI).

The regulations of this section are intended to implement the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan and the Statewide Planning Goal 5 Safe Harbor protection standards (Oregon Administrative Rules, Division 23) for wetlands on properties included within the Kingston Terrace District; to protect King City's wetland areas, thereby protecting the hydrologic and ecologic functions these areas provide for the community; to protect fish and wildlife habitat; to protect water quality and natural hydrology; to control erosion and sedimentation, and to reduce the adverse effects of flooding; to protect the amenity values and educational opportunities of King City's wetlands as community assets; and to improve and promote coordination among local, state, and federal agencies regarding development activities near wetlands. These regulations supplement other requirements enforced by Clean Water Services (CWS) and Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL).

Please note that compliance with state and federal wetland regulations for all wetlands, mapped or unmapped, remains the legal responsibility of the landowner.

B.

Applicability. The regulations of this chapter shall be applicable to all properties included within the Kingston Terrace District and identified on Figure 16.114-1 as a Property Included in LWI. This area contains approximately five hundred twenty-eight-acres, located south of Beef Bend Road, east of Roy Rogers Road, and north of the Tualatin River between 137 th Avenue and Roy Rogers Road. This area is shown on the comprehensive plan and zoning maps.

Any development proposed to be located on a property identified on Figure 16.114-10 as a Property Included in LWI and that contains all or part of a locally significant wetland, or is within one hundred feet of such a wetland, must comply with these regulations. Where the provisions of this section conflict with any other provisions of this title, local standards, or state and federal requirements, the more restrictive requirements shall apply. A property within the Kingston Terrace District that is not identified on Figure 16.114-10 as a Property Included in LWI may not apply for review under this section until such time as the City has adopted the LWI for the property.

C.

Locally Significant Wetlands. The areas identified on Figure 16.114-10 have been designated as "locally significant wetlands" pursuant to OAR 141-086-0350 and are subject to the Kingston Terrace Wetland Safe Harbor provisions in Section 16.114.080.D.

The provisions of this section shall be used to determine whether applications for development permits may be approved, approved with conditions, or denied. The map entitled Kingston Terrace Locally Significant Wetland Inventory (Figure 16.114-10) shall be consulted to determine site locations of locally significant wetlands. When development is proposed in close proximity to a wetland, including wetlands that are not identified as locally significant, a delineation is required in accordance with Section 16.114.080.F.1.e.

D.

Administration.

1.

Goal 5 Safe Harbor review shall be conducted concurrently with any other related land use application required by the city for the proposed development.

2.

Unless otherwise stated, King City shall apply the provisions of Section 16.114.080 in conjunction and concurrently with the requirements of any other development permit being sought by an applicant. If no other permit is being sought, the city manager shall serve as the approving authority.

3.

Variance applications described in Chapter 16.164 shall be administered and reviewed as a planning commission decision in accordance with Article II of this title using the applicable approval criteria in Section 16.164.050.

E.

Determination of Locally Significant Wetlands. King City has identified locally significant wetlands in accordance with rules adopted by Oregon Department of State Lands (OAR 141-086-0210). Locally significant wetlands are identified on the map entitled Kingston Terrace Locally Significant Wetland Inventory, Figure 16.114-10.

F.

Submittal requirements. As part of the development permit for any use or activity that is located on a property identified as a Property Included in LWI, and that includes or is within one hundred feet of a locally significant wetland identified in Figure 16.114-10, an application for a Goal 5 safe harbor review must be prepared and submitted in compliance with this section. An application for a Goal 5 Safe Harbor review shall be submitted on forms prepared by the City.

16.114.090 - Upland Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas.

A.

Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish procedures and criteria for protection of Habitat Conservation Areas (HCA) in a manner that complies with Section 4 of Title 13 of Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan on properties located within the Kingston Terrace District. The HCAs regulated by this chapter are limited to Class A and B Upland Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (Upland HCAs). These regulations are intended to supplement, but not duplicate, other requirements enforced by Clean Water Services (CWS), Oregon Division of State Lands, and federal agencies that may have jurisdiction over natural resources within these HCAs.

B.

Metro upland resource areas. The provisions of this section shall be used to determine whether applications for development permits may be approved, approved with conditions, or denied. The Metro Upland HCAs within the Kingston Terrace District are shown in Figure 16.114-11. A more detailed map entitled Kingston Terrace Class A and B Upland HCAs, which is available at City Hall, shall be consulted to determine site locations of these upland wildlife habitat resources and buffers, which lie outside the purview of CWS, state, and/or federal agencies.

1.

Class A Upland HCA. These areas are adjacent to Class I Riparian Corridors as shown in Figure 16.114-11.

2.

Class B Upland HCA. These areas are generally adjacent to Class II Riparian Corridors as shown in Figure 16.114-11.

d.

Singular, isolated native or non-native trees of any size and without contiguous drip lines may be removed subject to compliance with the mitigation requirements in Section 16.114.090.J.

e.

All nuisance or prohibited plants identified in the Metro Native Plan List shall be removed in any areas being developed or disturbed.

f.

To the extent practicable, when development within an Upland HCA is permitted, the proposed development shall be located, designed, and constructed to employ the techniques described in Part (c) of Table 16.114-8 to further minimize the impact of development in the Upland HCA.

g.

Notwithstanding the requirements in Section 16.114.090.1.3.a. through f., a minimum development disturbance area shall be permitted within a Class A or B Upland Habitat Conservation Area on a lot according to Table 16.114-9.

4.

For linear development where the project is within a public easement or right-of-way, the following requirements apply:

a.

The linear improvements, including, but not limited to, streets, sidewalks, pathways, and utilities, shall be designed to minimize grading, removal of native vegetation, removal of trees with a six-inch dbh or greater, and disturbance or removal of native soils by using the approaches described in Table 16.114-8;

Table 16.114-8

Part (a): Design and Construction Practices to Minimize Hydrologic Impacts
1. Amend disturbed soils to original or higher level of porosity to regain infiltration and stormwater storage capacity.
2. Use pervious paving materials for residential driveways, parking lots, walkways, and within centers of cul-de-sacs.
3. Incorporate stormwater management in road rights-of-way.
4. Landscape with rain gardens to provide on-lot detention, filtering of rainwater, and groundwater recharge.
5. Use green roofs for runoff reduction, energy savings, improved air quality, and enhanced aesthetics.
6. Disconnect downspouts from roofs and direct the flow to vegetated infiltration/filtration areas such as rain gardens.
7. Retain rooftop runoff in a rain barrel for later on-lot use in lawn and garden watering.
8. Use multi-functional open drainage systems in lieu of more conventional curb-and-gutter systems.
9. Use bioretention cells as rain gardens in landscaped parking lot islands to reduce runoff volume and filter pollutants.
10. Apply a treatment train approach to provide multiple opportunities for storm water treatment and reduce the possibility of system failure.
11. Reduce sidewalk width and grade them such that they drain to the front yard of a residential lot or retention area.
12. Reduce impervious impacts of residential driveways by narrowing widths and moving access to the rear of the site.
13. Use shared driveways.
14. Reduce width of residential streets, depending on traffic and parking needs.
15. Reduce street length, primarily in residential areas, by encouraging clustering and using curvilinear designs.
16. Reduce cul-de-sac radii and use pervious vegetated islands in center to minimize impervious effects, and allow them to be utilized for truck maneuvering/loading to reduce need for wide loading areas on-site.
17. Eliminate redundant non-ADA sidewalks within a site (i.e., sidewalk to all entryways and/or to truck loading areas may be unnecessary for industrial developments).
18. Minimize car spaces and stall dimensions, reduce parking ratios, and use shared parking facilities and structured parking.
19. Minimize the number of stream crossings and place crossing perpendicular to stream channel if possible.
20. Allow narrow street rights-of-way through stream corridors whenever possible to reduce adverse impacts of transportation corridors.
Part (b): Design and Construction Practices to Minimize Impacts on
Wildlife Corridors and Fish Passage
1. Carefully integrate fencing into the landscape to guide animals toward animal crossings under, over, or around transportation corridors.
2. Use bridge crossings rather than culverts wherever possible.
3. If culverts are utilized, install slab, arch or box type culverts, preferably using bottomless designs that more closely mimic stream bottom habitat.
4. Design stream crossings for fish passage with shelves and other design features to facilitate terrestrial wildlife passage.
5. Extend vegetative cover through the wildlife crossing in the migratory route, along with sheltering areas.
Part (c): Miscellaneous Other Habitat-Friendly Design and Construction Practices
1. Use native plants throughout the development (not just in HCA).
2. Locate landscaping (required by other sections of the code) adjacent to HCA.
3. Reduce light spill-off into HCAs from development.
4. Preserve and maintain existing trees and tree canopy coverage, and plant trees, where appropriate, to maximize future tree canopy coverage.

26  For land divisions, the total development or disturbance area calculation shall include footprints for future building construction and related improvements such as driveways and patios. Minimums do not apply to linear development per Section 16.114.090.H.4.

6.

A construction management plan as specified in Section 16.114.090.G.

7.

Development permits shall comply with the applicable requirements of this title in addition to Section 16.114.150.

8.

Partition and subdivision applications shall demonstrate how the land division improvements and the subsequent development on the proposed lots will comply with the provisions of this title. Provided that development following the recording of the final plat is consistent with what was approved as part of the land division, a subsequent Upland HCA review will not be required.

I.

Mitigation requirement for disturbance in Upland HCAs.

1.

When intrusion into an Upland HCA satisfies the approval criteria in Section 16.114.090.H., mitigation shall be provided. Mitigation plans shall satisfy the following:

a.

Mitigation shall occur on the site of the disturbance, to the extent practicable. Off-site mitigation shall be approved if the applicant has demonstrated that it is not practicable to complete the mitigation on-site and has provided documented the ability to ensure the success of off-site mitigation. Mitigation shall occur within the Kingston Terrace District. When an alternative location and/or watershed is proposed, the applicant shall demonstrate why mitigation in the same watershed is not practicable.

b.

Nuisance or prohibited vegetation itemized in the Metro Native Plant List shall be removed within the mitigation area.

c.

Selection of all revegetation plantings shall be from the Metro Native Plant List.

2.

An applicant must meet Mitigation Option 1 or 2, whichever results in more tree plantings; except that where the disturbance area is one acre or more, the applicant shall comply with Mitigation Option 2:

a.

Mitigation Option 1. In this option, the mitigation requirement is calculated based on the number and size of trees that are removed from the site. Trees that are removed from the site must be replaced as shown in Table 16-114.10. Conifers must be replaced with conifers. Bare ground must be planted or seeded with native grasses or herbs. Non-native sterile wheat grass may also be planted or seeded, in equal or lesser proportion to the native grasses or herbs.

Table 16.114-10 Mitigation Option 1 - Tree
Replacement

Size of tree to be removed (inches in diameter)Number of trees and shrubs to be planted
6 to 12 2 trees and 3 shrubs
13 to 18 3 trees and 6 shrubs
19 to 24 5 trees and 12 shrubs
25 to 30 7 trees and 18 shrubs
Over 30 10 trees and 30 shrubs

 

b.

Mitigation Option 2. In this option, the mitigation requirement is based on the size of the disturbance area within a HCA. Native trees and shrubs are required to be planted at a rate of five trees and twenty-five shrubs for every five hundred square feet of disturbance area (calculated by dividing the number of square feet of disturbance area by five hundred, then multiplying that result times five trees and twenty-five shrubs and rounding all fractions to the nearest whole number of trees and shrubs). Bare ground must be planted or seeded with native grasses or herbs. Non-native sterile wheat grass may also be planted or seeded, in equal or lesser proportion to the native grasses or herbs.

3.

Plant size. The minimum size for replacement trees shall be one-half-inch caliper measured six inches above ground level, and the minimum size for replacement shrubs shall be one gallon.

4.

Plant spacing. Accepted landscaping practices, such as plant spacing, mulching, watering, and weed control shall be employed for planting and maintenance.

5.

Plant diversity. When more than ten trees or shrubs are planted, at least two different species shall be used.

6.

Maintenance. A mitigation maintenance plan shall be provided to demonstrate how a successful outcome will be achieved. A minimum of eighty percent of the plantings must survive, and removed nuisance or prohibited vegetation removed shall not reappear, for five years. The responsibility of monitoring, maintenance, and replacement shall rest with the property owner.

J.

Adjustments. The purpose of this section is to ensure that compliance with Section 16.114.090 does not cause unreasonable hardship. To avoid such instances, the requirements of Section 16.114.090 may be adjusted. Adjustments shall be considered in conjunction with a development application within an Upland HCA, and they shall be reviewed as a Type II City Manager decision in accordance with this title.

1.

To receive an adjustment to the Upland HCA requirements in this section, the applicant must demonstrate the following:

a.

The proposed adjustment does not represent a deviation from the applicable standard by more than 20 percent.

b.

The mitigation requirements in Section 16.114.090.1. will be satisfied. If the adjustment is related to these requirements, the applicant shall provide evidence from a qualified professional, including, but not limited to, an arborist, landscape architect, or biologist to demonstrate that the proposed alternative mitigation techniques will provide environmental and ecological benefits, which are equally effective mitigation for intrusions into the Upland HCA.

2.

Conditions may be imposed by the approval authority to limit and adverse impacts that may result from granting an adjustment.

3.

Local Streets. Within the areas bounded by Backbone Streets a finer-grained network of local streets will be built.

4.

Location of connecting street segment. To minimize impact to natural resources and accommodate topography, alignment of segments of Collector and Neighborhood Routes may vary up to one hundred feet from the locations identified on the Regulating Plan, Figure 16.114-9, provided they fully connect/intersect with each of the streets and intersections as shown on the Regulating Plan.

C.

Backbone Street intersections. The Regulating Plan, Figure 16.114-9, identifies the types of intersections of Backbone Streets and classifies them as follows:

1.

Type A Intersections. The following intersections already exist and/or will be extended into the Kingston Terrace District Plan. The location of these intersections may be adjusted by one hundred feet in any direction to accommodate topography, desired connection points, and construction feasibility. Type A intersections include:

a.

Beef Bend Road at Roy Rogers Road;

b.

Fischer Road Extension at Roy Rogers Road;

c.

Elsner Road at Roy Rogers Road;

d.

River Terrace Boulevard Extension at Beef Bend Road;

e.

Elsner Road at Beef Bend Road;

f.

150th Avenue at Beef Bend Road;

g.

137th Avenue at Beef Bend Road;

h.

Fischer Road at 137 th Avenue; and

i.

Fischer Road at 150 th Avenue.

2.

Type B Intersections. The remaining intersections identified on the Regulating Plan, Figure 16.114-9, are Type B. The location of these intersections may be adjusted by two hundred feet in any direction to accommodate topography, desired connection points, and construction feasibility.

3.

The Regulating Plan, Figure 16.114-9, includes unidentified intersections of Backbone Streets with Beef Bend Road. Location of the unidentified intersections is dependent upon Washington County's intersection spacing standards, the timing of development, property ownership, topography, and minimization of impact to natural resources.

D.

Street circulation standards. The following criteria apply to the street network within the Kingston Terrace District:

1.

Block length of collectors, neighborhood routes, and local streets shall not exceed five hundred thirty feet measured between intersections with public streets.

2.

Exceptions to the block size may be approved by the City Engineer where a street location is precluded by natural topography, wetlands, significant habitat areas, bodies of water, pre-existing development, or intersection spacing requirements for arterial or collector streets. An exception to the block length may also be approved to support the urban design goals of the neighborhood including, but not limited to, development of an urban neighborhood that includes plazas and active frontages, and creation of public parks and open spaces such as park blocks or linear greens that support multi-modal transportation.

3.

Mid-block pedestrian and bicycle accessways on public easements or rights-of-way must be provided at spacing of no more than three hundred thirty feet if full-street connections cannot be provided, unless the connection is impracticable due to topography, natural areas, inadequate sight distance, lack of supporting land use or other factors that may prevent safe connection, as determined by the City Engineer.

4.

The Regulating Plan, Figure 16.114-9, does not limit the ability of a developer to add additional streets or intersections.

E.

16.114.130 - Parking and Loading.

A.

Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to provide basic and flexible standards for the development of vehicle parking, loading and bicycle parking. The design of parking and loading areas is critically important to the viability of commercial areas, pedestrian and driver safety, the efficient and safe operation of adjoining streets, and community image and livability. Because vehicle-parking facilities can occupy large amounts of land, they must be planned and designed carefully to use the land efficiently while maintaining the visual character of the community.

B.

Applicability. The Parking and Loading standards of Chapter 16.132 do not apply to new development in the Kingston Terrace District. They are superseded by the standards of Section 16.114.130.

C.

Vehicle parking standards.

1.

Minimum number of vehicle parking spaces. There are no minimum vehicle parking requirements in the Kingston Terrace District.

2.

Maximum number of vehicle parking spaces.

a.

The number of parking spaces provided by any particular use in ground surface parking lots must not exceed the number of parking spaces provided in Table 16.114-13, Maximum Off-Street Vehicle Parking Spaces. Spaces provided on-street, or within the building footprint of structures, such as in rooftop parking, tuck-under parking or under-structure parking, or in multi-level parking above or below surface lots, do not apply toward the maximum number of allowable spaces. Where a fractional number of spaces results, the maximum number of spaces is rounded down to the nearest whole number. This section does not apply to single-family residential dwellings.
