300-2

Residential Density Calculation

To determine the maximum or minimum number of units which may be constructed on a site for residential uses, the site size (in acres) shall be multiplied by the maximum or minimum number of units per acre allowed on the site, as designated on the applicable Community Plan, except as specified otherwise below or by Table C of Section 375.

Example:

Acres × units per acre = number of units allowed 1.6 × 5 = 8.0 or 8 units

 

300-2.1

Site size shall include the area of the subject lot(s) or parcel(s), in acres or portions thereof, excluding all areas currently dedicated for public right-of-way.

300-2.2

Allowable density shall be as designated on the Community Plan Map or Rural Plan, except as otherwise indicated within district standards of this code for Middle Housing.

300-2.3

No portion of the allowable density shall be permitted to be transferred from one land use designation to another land use designation, except as permitted in accordance with the Planned Development provisions of Section 404-4.5.

300-2.4

The number of units which may be constructed on the subject site shall be subject to the limitations of the applicable provisions of this Code, including the requirements of Section 300-3 and such other things as landscaping, parking, floodplain, buffering, slopes and other site limitations.

300-2.5

When the maximum or minimum number of units allowed on a site results in a fraction of .5 or more, the number of units allowed shall be the next highest whole number, provided all minimum district requirements other than density can be met.

300-2.6

Except in the North Bethany Subarea, land that is dedicated to a park and recreation provider as public park land may be used to calculate the minimum or maximum density, provided the land is developed for recreational uses, and is not comprised of floodplain, drainage hazard, wetland, slopes over 10%, or a Significant Natural Resource area.

300-2.7

When allowed by a legislative or quasi-judicial plan amendment:

A.

Assisted living units, that are part of a mixed use residential development, may be used to satisfy the minimum density requirement; and

B.

Land used for a private park, that is available to the general public outside of the residential development the park is located in, may be excluded from the acreage used to calculate the minimum density provided the park is developed for recreational uses, and is not comprised of floodplain, drainage hazard, wetland, slopes over 10%, or a Significant Natural Resource area.

C.

The provisions of Section 300-2.7 are not applicable in the North Bethany Subarea in the Bethany Community Plan.

300-2.8

Only categories of land listed in Section 300-3.1 may be excluded from the acreage used to calculate minimum required densities. Categories of land listed in Section 300-3.1 may be included when calculating maximum allowed densities provided the densities transferred comply with Section 300-3.3. The provisions of Section 300-2.8 and Section 300-3 are not applicable in the North Bethany Subarea in the Bethany Community Plan.

Within a single lot or parcel within the same land use designation; or

B.

To an adjoining lot or parcel that is a subject of the development application provided it is also within the same land use designation as the other lot or parcel.

300-3.3

Density Transfer Calculations:

The number of units which may be transferred shall be calculated as follows:

A.

Determine the total density for the subject lot(s) or parcel(s).

B.

Determine the total number of units in the buildable portion and the unbuildable portion of the total site.

C.

Transfer the density of the unbuildable portion of the site to the buildable portion of the site, provided that the transferred density does not more than double the density allowed on the buildable portion of the site.

300-3.4

For the purpose of this Section, buildable shall mean all portions of the subject lot(s) or parcel(s) not included within a category listed in Section 300-3.1, and unbuildable shall mean all portions of the lot(s) or parcel(s) included in one of the categories in Section 300-3.1.

D.

The proposed reduction in density associated with the protected portion of the site shall not exceed the protected area's proportional share of the overall site density. (For example, on a 1 acre site with a minimum density of eight units per acre, a one-quarter acre protected area would yield a maximum density reduction of two units, resulting in six units on the remainder of the site); and

E.

Prior to final approval, the applicant submits evidence of having provided notice to Metro stating:

(1)

The map and tax lot number(s) of the lot(s) or parcel(s) subject to the density reduction;

(2)

The acreage of the Regionally Significant Fish & Wildlife Habitat area being protected; and

(1)

Duplex - maximum of two units;

(2)

Triplex - maximum four units per lot;

(3)

Quadplex - maximum four units per lot.

Except in areas subject to Section 421 and/or 422-8, up to one lawful existing Single Detached Dwelling Unit and up to two lawful existing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) may be retained as such on the parent lot, without counting toward plex unit maximums.

Any existing dwellings converted to/considered as Middle Housing shall count toward plex unit maximums.

B.

Cottage Clusters:

(1)

Up to 12 units allowed per common courtyard (no maximum number of courtyards);

(2)

Minimum density of four units per acre;

(3)

Maximum density does not apply.

The Review Authority may exclude slopes between 15% and 20% from the acreage used to calculate the minimum density when the following standards are met:

(1)

The applicant submits an engineering geology report that demonstrates the subject area should not be built to the minimum density due to landslide or soil liquification hazards, or other geologic hazards. The engineering geology report shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer experienced in geotechnical engineering and/or a certified engineering geologist or a registered professional geologist. The report shall be accepted as complete by the Building Engineer prior to submission of an application. The Building Engineer may require an outside peer review to assist in the review of the engineering geology report. The applicant shall be responsible for the costs of such a review; and

(2)

The Review Authority finds that building to the minimum density would result in, or be in jeopardy of, landslide or soil liquification hazards, or other geologic hazards.

The purpose of this District is to encourage forestry as the dominant use of such lands, to conserve and manage efficiently the forest resources of the county and to prohibit uses of land which are not compatible with the management and development of forest resources, in order to minimize the potential for damage from fire, pollution, soil erosion and conflict caused by development. This District is suited for application to forest land as well as associated scenic lands, recreation land, wildlife habitat or other sensitive land forms or watershed areas.

The EFC District is provided to meet Oregon statutory requirements for forest lands. Forest practices in the EFC district that are protected from local regulation by the Forest Practices Act (ORS 527) are not subject to the requirements of this Section.

For all permitted uses, the property owner shall sign and record an agreement form, in the Department of Assessment & Taxation, Recording Division, a statement which recognizes the rights of adjacent and nearby land owners to conduct forest operations consistent with the Forest Practices Act. In this district, site development and buildings, including accessory buildings, shall comply with the Fire Structure Siting and Fire Safety Standards of Section 428.

373 - HISTORIC AND CULTURAL RESOURCE OVERLAY DISTRICT

373-1

Intent and Purpose

The intent and purpose of this overlay district is to promote the public health, safety and general welfare by providing for the identification, protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of sites, structures, objects, buildings and historic districts within the county that reflect special elements of the county's architectural, archeological, artistic, cultural, engineering, aesthetic, historical, political, social and other cultural heritage and to facilitate restoration and upkeep of historic buildings, structures or other physical objects or geographical areas in order to:

373-1.1

Safeguard the county's heritage as embodied and reflected in such resources;

373-1.2

Encourage public knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the county's history and culture;

373-1.3

Foster community and neighborhood pride and sense of identity based on recognition and use of cultural resources;

373-1.4

Promote the enjoyment and use of historic and cultural resources appropriate for the education and recreation of the people of the county;

373-1.5

Preserve diverse and harmonious architectural styles reflecting phases of the county's history; and encourage complimentary design and construction areas impacting cultural resources;

373-1.6

Enhance property values and increase economic and financial benefits to the county and its inhabitants;

373-1.7

Identify and resolve conflicts between the preservation of cultural resources and alternative land uses; and

373-1.8

Integrate the management of cultural resources and relevant data into public and private land management and development processes.

373-2

Definitions

As used in this section, the words listed below have the following meaning:

373-2.1

Building. A house, barn, religious institution, hotel, or similar construction that is created to shelter any form of human activity. Building may also be used to refer to a historically and functionally related unit, such as a courthouse and jail or a house and barn.

373-2.2

District. A district possesses a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development.

373-2.3

Object. The term object is used to distinguish from buildings and structures those constructions that are primarily artistic in nature or relatively small in scale and simply constructed. Although it may be, by nature or design, movable, an object is associated with a specific setting or environment, such as statuary in a designed landscape. Examples: sculpture, monuments, mileposts, boundary markers, statuary, and fountains.

373-2.4

Rehabilitation. A term often used interchangeably with renovation, involves modification or change to an existing building. Rehabilitation extends the useful life or utility of the building through repairs or alterations, sometimes major, while the features of the building that contributed to its architectural, cultural or historical character are preserved.

373-2.5

Restoration. Often prefaced by "historical" or "architectural", restoration involves the careful and meticulous return of a building, usually on its original site, to its appearance at a particular period of time by removal of later work or replacement of missing earlier work.

373-2.6

Site. The location of a significant event, a prehistoric or historic occupation or activity, or a building or structure, whether standing, ruined, or vanished, where the location itself possesses historical, cultural, or archeological value regardless of the value of any existing structure.

373-2.7

Structure. The term structure is used to distinguish from buildings those functional constructions made usually for purposes other than creating shelter.

373-3

Review Authority

The review of applications identified in this Section (373) shall be consistent with the procedure type specified.

373-4

Resource Designation Procedures

373-4.1

The Historic and Cultural Resource Overlay District shall be applied to specific resources through a Plan Amendment process (Type III or Type IV). Consistent with provisions in the Comprehensive Framework Plan for the Urban Area and the Rural/Natural Resource Plan, the owner of a property which is the site of a cultural resource, or the Board, Planning Commission or Director, may initiate a quasi-judicial (Type III) plan amendment to apply the overlay district. Any individual may request application of the overlay district through a legislative (Type IV) process.

373-4.2

The Review Authority shall apply the Historic and Cultural Resource Overlay District to all buildings and structures in the Washington County Cultural Resources Inventory, consistent with the recommended program decisions of the "Goal 5 Conflicts and Consequences Analysis (ESEE) for Cultural Resources," which is an appendix to the Cultural Resources Inventory. However, the Review Authority or the Appeal Authority may choose not to apply the Historic and Cultural Resource Overlay District based on compelling evidence and findings submitted by the property owner.

The evidence and findings shall include a site-specific analysis of the economic, social, environmental and energy (ESEE) consequences of allowing a proposed conflicting activity (e.g., relocation or demolition) versus preservation of the resource.

Economic burden may be a basis for a decision not to apply the overlay district after consideration is given to all the ESEE consequences of application of the overlay district versus allowing the proposed conflicting activity. The degree of economic burden will be weighed against the significance of the resource. The availability of alternatives which retain historic values and encourage continued use or adaptive reuse of the property will be considered.

373-4.3

In order for the Review Authority or the Appeal Authority to determine that an economic burden will be placed on the owner of a resource if the overlay district is applied to it, the owner must demonstrate that one of the following would occur. Where an estimate or opinion is called for from an expert or a professional in a given field (such as real estate, architecture, historic preservation or development), the expert or professional consulted shall be mutually acceptable to the owner and the Director.

A.

The continued presence of a resource on a property would significantly reduce the value of the property relative to its value if the resource was to be removed or demolished. To demonstrate this, the property owner shall submit the following evidence:

(1)

The most recent assessed value of the subject property.

(2)

Two independent appraisals, by licensed appraisers, of the property's present value with the resource on site, and the property's value with the resource removed.

B.

Carrying costs (including property taxes, insurance and maintenance) for the property would be significantly higher with the continued presence of the resource than if it is removed from a property or demolished, and it is not likely that sufficient income could be derived from the resource in its present condition or after it is rehabilitated within the constraints of the district, to compensate for the higher costs. To demonstrate this, the property owner shall submit the following evidence:

(1)

The information specified in Sections 373-4.3 A. (1) and (2).

(2)

Records or at least two estimates by insurance brokers of the cost of insuring the resource.

(3)

If rehabilitation is necessary, at least two estimates of the cost of rehabilitating the resource by contractors experienced in the rehabilitation of historic resources.

(4)

If rehabilitation is necessary, at least two estimates of the cost of maintaining the resource after its rehabilitation by contractors experienced in the maintenance of historic resources.

(5)

If rehabilitation is unnecessary, copies of receipts for the materials, labor and services needed to maintain the resource for at least the previous two years.

(6)

At least two estimates by real estate professionals and/or business consultants of the rent or income that could be derived from the resource when improved to a usable condition.

C.

In the case of a non-income producing resource (e.g., a religious institution or an owner-occupied house) on a property an owner is unwilling to sell, the costs of rehabilitating and/or maintaining the resource significantly exceed the cost of demolishing the resource and constructing and maintaining a building or structure that is similar in function and size. To demonstrate this, the property owner shall submit the following evidence:

(1)

If rehabilitation is necessary, the information specified in Section
373-4.3 B. (3) and (4).

(2)

If rehabilitation is unnecessary, the information specified in Section 373-4.3 B. (5).

(3)

At least two estimates by contractors of the cost of demolishing the resource.

(4)

At least two estimates by contractors of the cost of constructing and maintaining a replacement building or structure that is similar in size and function.

373-4.4

After considering all the site-specific evidence and findings relating to ESEE consequences, the Review Authority or Appeal Authority may decide against permanently applying the Historic and Cultural Resource Overlay District to a resource. The Review Authority or Appeal Authority may, however, temporarily apply the overlay district for up to 180 days from the date of final action on the quasi-judicial plan amendment or land use ordinance before it. During that period, the county shall explore all reasonable means of protecting the resource, including exploring informational and financial assistance for the property owner or public or private acquisition and/or relocation.

If no means of protecting the resource is found within the 180-day period, the Historic and Cultural Resource Overlay District shall automatically be removed from the property. If alteration or demolition of the resource is intended by the property owner, the county shall ask the property owner to contact the Washington County Museum or another appropriate agency or organization such as the Historic Preservation League of Oregon to allow them the opportunity to salvage and record the resource before it is altered or demolished.

373-5

Applicability of the Overlay District

When the Historic and Cultural Resource Overlay District is applied to a resource, the tax lot that contains the resource shall be so designated on the relevant plan maps. This does not mean, however, that the entire tax lot is subject to the provisions of Section 373. Instead, the only buildings and structures on the tax lot subject to the overlay district's provisions are those described in the Cultural Resources Inventory as significant, important, or contributing to the significance of the overall resource.

373-6

Permits

373-6.1

No development permit shall be issued for exterior alteration, relocation or demolition of any designated resource or any potential resource which is under consideration for designation while a public hearing or any appeal thereof is pending.

373-6.2

Any changes, alteration, rehabilitation, restoration and/or addition to the exterior design, material or external appearance of a designated historic or cultural resource including but not limited to siding, windows, doors, and other architectural features or appurtenances, roofing materials or roof lines, and any other architectural components of the original resource shall be reviewed through a Type II procedure.

373-6.3

A development permit to alter the exterior of a designated resource shall be approved if the Review Authority finds the following:

A.

The alteration will not impair or change the essential historic form and integrity of the historic property. The distinguishing historic qualities, features or character of the historic property and its site will not be impaired or altered unless:

(1)

There is an immediate hazard to public safety and no alternative approach exists which would retain the features or minimize the impact of the proposed alteration;

(2)

There are mandatory building or handicap codes or requirements, and it is not reasonably possible to retain the historic features or minimize the impact of the proposed alteration and also to comply with those codes or requirements; or

(3)

The only alternative to the alteration would be demolition of the historic property.

B.

The alteration will not create an earlier historic appearance which is different than the remainder of the property or which has no historic basis.

C.

Distinctive stylistic features and examples of skilled craftsmanship have been retained to the greatest extent possible.

D.

The alteration is compatible in design, size, arrangement, proportion, detail, scale, color, texture, material and character with the rest of the historic property and the nearby area.

E.

Signs, lighting and other appurtenances, such as walls, fences, awnings and landscaping, will be visually compatible with the traditional architectural character of the historic property.

373-6.4

The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings shall be used for guidance in the review of a development permit involving alteration of a historic and cultural resource.

373-6.5

Reasonable conditions may be imposed in granting an alteration permit. Particular conditions may be imposed based on the following considerations:

A.

Deteriorated architectural features should be repaired rather than replaced whenever possible. Deteriorated architectural features that cannot be repaired should be replaced with material which matches the original material in design, color, texture and other visual qualities. Whenever possible, repair or replacement of architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features and composition of materials, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of architectural elements from other buildings or structures.

B.

When surface cleaning of buildings or structures takes place, it should be undertaken with the gentlest effective means possible. Sandblasting and other abrasive cleaning methods that may damage the historic property should not be employed.

C.

Every reasonable effort should be made to protect known archeological resources affected by and adjacent to any alteration project.

373-6.6

Ordinary Maintenance and Repair

Nothing in this Section (373) shall be construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance or repair in or on any resource designated by this Section (373) that does not involve a change in design, material or external appearance thereof as defined in 373-6.2.

373-6.7

Any application to relocate or demolish a designated historic or cultural resource shall be reviewed through a Type III procedure.

373-6.8

Approval of a development permit to relocate a designated resource shall be based on all the following findings:

A.

The designated resource is in a land use district (e.g., R-9, R-15, R-24, R-25+, TO:R9-12, TO:R12-18, TO:R18-24, TO:R24-40, TO:R40-80,
TO:R80-120, Neighborhood Commercial, Community Business, General Commercial, Office Commercial, TO:RC, TO:BUS, TO:EMP, Industrial, MAE, Rural Industrial or Rural Commercial) that allows higher density development; is an accessory building or structure to a historic farm house (e.g., a barn, garage or shed) in the R-5 or R-6 district; or is on land that is needed to accommodate the planned widening or realignment of a public road or transportation facility;

B.

The designated resource cannot reasonably be used in conjunction with the proposed use;

C.

It can be demonstrated that development of the site with the proposed use will occur within two years of approval of the development permit to relocate the designated resource;

D.

The location of the designated resource on a proposed development site precludes reasonable development of the site, and the locational problem cannot be reasonably resolved by an on-site relocation of a designated resource or the clustering of the proposed development;

E.

The designated resource is structurally capable of relocation;

F.

The proposed relocation site is a contextually appropriate setting for the designated resource; and

G.

The owner of the relocation site agrees, as a condition of the purchase agreement, to apply within 90 days of relocation to the appropriate local jurisdiction for protection of the resource.

373-6.9

Approval of a permit to demolish a designated resource that does not qualify for abatement shall be based on findings A, B, C, and D in Section 373-6.8. Additionally, the Review Authority shall find:

A.

The designated resource cannot be moved because of structural inadequacies; or

B.

The property owner has been unable to find an appropriate relocation site for the building despite a documented effort, for a period of at least 90 days, to sell or offer it to other property owners; and

C.

The property owner has documented that the Washington County Museum, and another appropriate agency or organization such as the Historic Preservation League of Oregon has been offered the opportunity to salvage and record the resource.

373-6.10

Where relocation or demolition would otherwise be allowed under Sections 373-6.8 and 6.9, yet preservation of a resource on its present site is in the public interest and complies with the intent of Statewide Planning Goal 5, the Review Authority or the appeal authority may delay issuance of a permit to relocate or demolish the resource for up to 120 days from the date of the final decision to allow for public or private acquisition of the site which would result in preservation of the resource.

373-7

Exemptions

Pursuant to ORS 197.772(3) the Director, through a Type I procedure, shall allow a property owner to be exempt from Section 373 of the Historic and Cultural Resource Overlay District. While this provision exempts the property from the requirements of Section 373, it does not remove the designation. The designation may be removed through the procedures of Section 373-11.

373-8

Building Code Requirements

373-8.1

Any alteration or relocation of a historic or cultural resource shall be subject to the applicable regulations under the Uniform Building Code.

373-8.2

As provided in Section 104(f) of the Uniform Building Code, repairs, alterations, and additions necessary for the preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, or continued use of a historic or cultural resource may be made without conformance to all the requirements of the Uniform Building Code when authorized by the building official, provided:

A.

Any unsafe conditions as described in the Uniform Building Code are corrected;

B.

The restored building or structure will be no more hazardous, based on life safety, fire safety, and sanitation, than the existing building; and

C.

The building official seeks the advice of the Oregon State Historic Preservation Officer, or designee.

In the case of appeals related to the application of the Uniform Building Code to a historic or cultural resource, the County Building Code appeals board or the appropriate State appeals board shall seek the advice of the State Historic Preservation Officer.

373-9

Standard Partitions and Standard Subdivisions

When considering the Standard Partition or Standard Subdivision of a parcel of land which is the site of a designated historic or cultural resource, the Review Authority shall not allow a significant feature of the original site, as identified in the county Inventory, to be located on a separate parcel from the resource.

Ord. No. 890A, § 2.A.(Exh. 1, § 1.), 2-7-23, eff. 3-9-23)

373-10

Uses Allowed

Allowed uses of an Historic and Cultural Resource within a designated Historic and Cultural Resource Overlay District shall be the same as those allowed in the primary district. However, with the exception of the EFU, EFC and AF-20 districts, other uses may be permitted by the Review Authority through a Type III procedure as an extraordinary method to preserve or improve a resource which would probably not be preserved or improved otherwise. In the EFU, EFC and AF-20 Districts home occupations as defined by and meeting the criteria of ORS 215.448 may be permitted through a Type III procedure in a designated historic building or structure. Uses which would not be allowed in the primary district shall be conditioned by the Review Authority to minimize any adverse impacts on neighboring properties.

373-11

Removal of Designation

Unless revoked, the Historic and Cultural Resource Overlay District Designation may be removed only through a Plan Amendment process (through a Type III or Type IV procedure). The designation may be removed only upon substantial evidence that:

373-11.1

A property owner has requested removal of the designation pursuant to ORS 197.772; or

373-11.2

The original designation was in error; or

373-11.3

The resource has ceased to exist or is no longer of significance to the public, based on reevaluation of the criteria for a listing in the Cultural Resources Inventory under Comprehensive Framework Plan for the Urban Area Policy 11, Strategy a. or Rural/Natural Resource Plan Policy 12, Strategy a.; or

373-11.4

The economic, social, environmental and energy (ESEE) consequences of protection of the resource substantially exceed the ESEE consequences of allowing the conflicting use or activity. As an element of the ESEE analysis, evidence and findings necessary to demonstrate economic burden shall be as described in Section 373-4.3.

If the Review Authority only finds evidence of the criterion in 373-11.4, it may continue the hearing on the matter to a date certain no longer than 180 days from the date the application was accepted. During this period, the County shall explore all reasonable means of protecting the resource, including exploring informational and financial assistance for the property owner or public or private acquisition and/or relocation. If, by the second hearing date a means of assuring the protection of the resource has not been found, and the application has not been withdrawn, it shall be approved.

If demolition of the resource is intended, conditions of approval shall be that:

(1)

The property owner documents that the Washington County Museum and another appropriate agency or organization such as the Historic Preservation League of Oregon have been given the opportunity to salvage and record the resource; and

(2)

The applicant shall demolish the resource, after obtaining necessary permits, within 180 days of final approval. If the demolition does not occur within that period, the County may initiate revocation of its action to remove the overlay district, pursuant to Section 201-7.1.

375 - TRANSIT ORIENTED DISTRICTS

375-1

Intent and Purpose

The intent of the Transit Oriented Districts is to direct and encourage development that is transit supportive and pedestrian oriented in areas within approximately 0.5-mile of light rail transit stations, within 0.25-mile of existing and planned primary bus routes and in town centers and regional centers.

The purpose of the Transit Oriented Districts is to limit development to that which (1) has a sufficient density of employees, residents or users to be supportive of the type of transit provided to the area; (2) generates a relatively high percentage of trips serviceable by transit; (3) contains a complementary mix of land uses; (4) is designed to encourage people to walk; ride a bicycle or use transit for a significant percentage of their trips.

375-6

Change or Expansion of Existing Uses or Structures

A.

Uses prohibited in a Transit Oriented District that were lawfully in existence at the time of application of the district are considered to be approved uses. However, because such uses are not considered to be transit-supportive, future expansions shall be limited in total to a maximum of 20% of the gross floor area present at the time of application of the Transit Oriented District, upon findings that the proposed expansion complies with the development standards in this Code, including this Section, to the extent reasonably practicable. Where the use, design or configuration of an existing development makes it not reasonably practicable to apply a particular development standard or the applicant provides an alternative development proposal which equally or better meets the purpose of the particular development standard, the Review Authority shall waive the application of that standard.

B.

All other uses and structures that were lawfully in existence at the time of application of the Transit Oriented District may be expanded upon findings that the proposed expansion complies with the development standards in this Section and Section 431, to the extent reasonably practicable. Where the use, design or configuration of an existing development makes it not reasonably practicable to apply a particular development standard or the applicant provides an alternative development proposal which equally or better meets the purpose of the particular development standard, the Review Authority shall waive the application of that standard.

Notwithstanding the above, future expansions shall be limited in total to a maximum of 20% of the gross floor area present at the time of application of the Transit Oriented District, unless a master plan is prepared by the applicant and approved by the county which describes how additional development on the site will achieve, through phases if necessary, full compliance with all applicable standards and provisions of this Code and the applicable community plan.

C.

Type I Minor Expansions:

Minor expansions to an existing use or structure are permitted when the proposed expansion:

1.

Is less than 10% of the gross floor area of the existing structure or use;

2.

Is less than 500 square feet when the above building percentage is not utilized;

3.

Is not a new dwelling unit;

4.

Does not amend any previous approval or previous condition of approval;

5.

Does not, in itself, generate more than 14 vehicle trips per day, as defined by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation Information Report; and

6.

Contains no plumbing fixtures, or has less than 12 additional fixtures attached to an existing, approved septic system or public sewer.

31.

Where specified in a Community Plan, outdoor storage and display of plants in conjunction with a retail nursery/garden center shall be allowed through a Type II process.

32.a.

A Retirement Housing Community, as defined in Section 430-53.5, may be permitted through a Type II or III procedure pursuant to Table A: Permitted and Prohibited Uses in Transit Oriented Districts.

32.b.

A modification to the maximum building height provision of Table B: Dimensional Requirements for Transit Oriented Districts, may be approved for a Retirement Housing Community through a Type III procedure based on findings that:

(1)

The Retirement Housing Community achieves 90% of the maximum density allowed by the applicable land use district;

(2)

If parking is provided, 85% of the parking is within an above-ground or below-ground parking structure; and

(3)

The visual impact of the additional building height is mitigated by the site's unique physical attributes such as changes in topography or significant stands of large trees.

32.c.

A modification to the maximum front yard setback provision of Table B: Dimensional Requirements for Transit Oriented Districts, may be approved for a Retirement Housing Community through a Type III procedure based on findings that:

(1)

The community achieves 90% of the maximum density allowed by the applicable land use district;

(2)

Those setback areas which require a modification are designed and built to be enhanced and energized urban streetscapes that encourage interaction among residents of the development and adjoining neighborhoods. Pedestrian amenities and areas that are urban in nature, rather than suburban, are integral elements of the enhanced streetscape design. Amenities such as public plazas, sitting areas, covered walkways, public art, pedestrian scaled lighting, and significant water features (e.g., creek and fountain) are incorporated within the urban streetscape and are proportionately scaled to the surrounding walkways, landscaping and buildings. Required vehicular accessways are not considered to be elements of the urban streetscape although they may be located within the front yard setback area and may cross or be located adjacent to the urban streetscape;

(3)

Buildings are located as close to the edge of the urban streetscape as practicable given final topographic contours and the location and size of vehicular accessways;

(4)

The urban streetscape, excluding any vehicular accessway, is limited in width to 40 feet along the frontage of one-third of the above-ground buildings;

(5)

Landscaping within the setback area includes a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees, low shrubs and groundcover that allow for clear views from the public right-of-way through the setback area to the building frontages. The use of high shrubs and evergreen trees that function as screens shall be minimized to allow for clear views through the landscaped areas; and

(6)

A variety of pedestrian areas and amenities are provided at regular intervals along the street frontage and throughout the setback area to facilitate public interaction between the Retirement Housing Community residents, residents from adjoining neighborhoods, visitors and staff. These pedestrian areas and amenities include:

(a)

An equal amount of active and passive pedestrian areas are provided where the public can meet and interact. A variety of hard surfaces (e.g., wood, textured concrete, brick, and gravel) are used throughout these pedestrian areas; and

(b)

The following pedestrian amenities are included:

1.

Two outdoor plazas;

2.

Sitting areas with benches, furniture and low planter walls;

3.

Pedestrian walkways through the urban streetscape that connect buildings directly to the urban streetscape and street;

4.

Pedestrian-scaled lighting; and

5.

Covered walkways connecting buildings to the street through the use of structures such as arcades, arbors, colonnades, or breezeways.

32.d.

If parking is provided, a modification to the requirements of Section 431-6.1 allowing off-street surface parking lots to be located in places other than the side or rear of buildings, may be approved for a Retirement Housing Community through a Type III procedure based on findings that:

(1)

A maximum of 15% of the parking spaces provided within the Retirement Housing Community are located within off-street surface parking lots;

(2)

Off-street surface parking lots are small in size to mitigate visual impacts and include a maximum of 40 parking spaces;

(3)

The visual appearance of such surface parking lots is enhanced with landscape features (e.g., street trees, arbors, and water features) and pedestrian amenities (e.g., covered walkways, sitting areas); and

(4)

On-street parking is provided on the street in front of the site.

377 - SPECIAL INDUSTRIAL OVERLAY DISTRICT (SID)

377-1

Purpose and Intent

377-1.1

The purpose of the Special Industrial Overlay District is:

A.

To protect and enhance development opportunities for industrial uses which may require large sites in a planned campus industrial park setting;

B.

To provide the opportunity for small and medium size industrial uses to locate in proximity to large single user industrial uses;

C.

To provide an opportunity for the market place to demonstrate actual development through the industrial lot size requirements demanded by industrial uses;

D.

To preserve large lots for single major industrial uses until such a time as there is no demonstrated demand or need for such large lots.

377-1.2

The intent of the Special Industrial Overlay District is to recognize the need to provide large lots for single major industrial uses while recognizing that small and medium sized industrial uses may require siting in proximity to large uses in order to service such large uses. Additionally, the Special Industrial Overlay District recognizes the potential employment growth opportunities of small and medium industrial uses and provides a stable planned campus industrial park atmosphere which may accommodate such firms as employment and site size requirements change through time.

377-1.3

For the above reasons, development in the Special Industrial Overlay District is limited to the following categories of mutually compatible uses which require a park-like setting:

A.

High technology, light manufacturing, research and development, processing, storage and distribution;

B.

Freestanding offices, under Sections 377-5.2 and 377-5.3 only; and

C.

Planned industrial parks containing light manufacturing uses and related service and trade activities.

377-2

Terms and Definitions

For the purposes of this Overlay District (Section 377), the following definitions shall apply:

377-2.1

Special Industrial Overlay District

An overlay district which may be applied in addition to the industrial designation in which additional provisions apply for the purpose of creating a unique setting.

377-2.2

SID Process

The procedure, as codified in the Special Industrial Overlay District Section, whereby tiers are established within the overlay district.

377-2.3

Committed Development

A.

An arms length transfer of ownership, or a lease or build-to-lease agreement between two legal entities based upon fair market value, including term of payment, and not for the purposes of circumventing the requirements of this Code.

(1)

Fair market value will be based on demonstration by the applicant of the value of three comparable planned and designated industrial sites, comparable in size, services and natural features. The fair market value of the applicant's site must prove to be within 25% of the average value of the three comparable sites; or

(2)

For ground-lease arrangements or the transfer of ownership on lots of 30 acres or greater, committed development may be demonstrated based upon the appraisal of real property. The appraisal shall be performed within the following conditions:

(a)

Washington County shall make available to the applicant a list of three M.A.I. certified appraisers;

(b)

The applicant shall select one from the list provided;

(c)

Washington County shall contract the appraiser for the purposes of demonstrating compliance with the terms of Committed Development;

(d)

The applicant shall reimburse Washington County for costs incurred on the appraisal.

(3)

Approval of a Building Siting and Architectural Design application under the requirements of Section 406 of this Code that demonstrates full commitment of the subject area to complete urban development consistent with the provisions of the SID such that no further parcelization is or will be required.

B.

The applicant may prove committed development, by demonstrating that the area has been physically improved, by providing copies of building permits for allowed buildings where such buildings demonstrate full commitment of the subject area to complete urban development consistent with the provisions of the SID such that no further parcelization is or will be required.

377-2.4

Tier

An area of land within a Special Industrial Overlay District delineated in the Master Plan-Site Analysis process and designated for a certain level of development activity according to prescribed conditions within the overlay district.

377-2.5

Industrial Park

A planned industrial development designed as a coordinated environment for a variety and mix of industrial and industrial support uses, having a comprehensive development plan which ensures compatibility among uses and with adjacent properties, which occurs on a parcel or adjacent parcels under single ownership or development control.

377-2.6

Gross Area

The total land area within the SID boundary, including development which existed prior to the establishment of the district, expressed in acres or fractions thereof.

377-2.7

Net Buildable Area

The total land area within the SID, excluding present and future rights-of-way, restricted hazard areas, public open space, floodplain, bodies of water, and restricted resource protection areas, expressed in acres or portions thereof.

377-3

Designation of Special Industrial Overlay District

The Special Industrial Overlay District shall be designated on the community plan maps through the community planning process, through the plan update process or through a plan amendment under the policies and criteria set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.

377-4

Standards

These standards apply in addition to the general provisions of the Industrial District.

377-4.1

Within the Industrial District, a contiguous area of largely undeveloped land of 50 or more acres may be designated Special Industrial Overlay District (SID) on the community plan map through line application of the overlay. Areas are considered contiguous even if separated by streets, roads, easements and natural features. Areas designated SID should have adequate and convenient access to an arterial and should have relatively few separate ownerships to facilitate consolidation.

377-4.2

Prior to the issuance of any development permit, the Master Plan-Site Analysis must be processed and approved for the entire SID. The Master Plan-Site Analysis is to be considered a schematic commitment of three-tier types to certain levels of use and minimum lot size. It does not require the legal partitioning of the three tiers into three lots, nor does it require the subdivision of lots with the tiers until such a time as development occurs.

A.

This does not, however, preclude an applicant from submitting a Master Plan-Site Analysis for the SID which would include all possible tiers. Where such a Plan is submitted and approved, all remaining tiers shall be processed under a Type I procedure as long as the subsequent application is consistent with the Plan initially approved. If an application is determined to be inconsistent with the initial plan approval, a Type II procedure shall be followed.

B.

The Master Plan, once approved, is binding on the property and development may occur only under the conditions of the SID provisions, regardless of ownership.

C.

All variances under Section 435 (Variances and Adjustments) are specifically prohibited in this district.

377-4.3

Within the SID, development shall conform to the following requirements regardless of ownership pattern. Development within the SID may occur under only one of the following two options:

A.

Option A - 30-Acre Minimum Lot Size:

Through the Site Analysis, processed as a Type II procedure, lots may be partitioned or subdivided to a 30 acre minimum lot size for the use of a single major industrial user, a user which requires or will ultimately require a total of at least 30 acres for its operation. Uses permitted on such parcels are those listed in Sections 377-5.1 through 377-5.2. Industrial Parks are not permitted.

B.

Option B - SID Process:

Under the utilization of this option, a Site Analysis shall be submitted for the entire area covered by the SID which shall be processed through a Type III procedure without the flexibility permitted under that process but instead with the flexibility permitted herein. The Site Analysis shall designate three tiers as described in "C" below.

C.

Descriptions:

(1)

Tier I

A maximum 20% of the initial gross acreage of the SID as delineated on the community plan map with a two-acre minimum lot size and uses permitted as listed in Sections 377-5.1, 377-5.2 and 377-5.3.

(2)

Tier II

A maximum 20% of the SID gross acreage with a minimum lot size of ten acres and uses permitted as listed in Sections 377-5.1, 377-5.2 and 377-5.3.

(3)

Tier III

A minimum 60% of the SID with a 30 acre minimum lot size and uses permitted as listed in Sections 377-5.1 and 377-5.2.

377-4.4

Under Option B, SID Process (Section 377-4.3 B.), the following development conditions shall be available at the initiation of an applicant, once prescribed conditions have been met:

A.

Committed Development Adjustment:

(1)

Tier I

(a)

Following the development of 67% of the net acreage in Tier I, an applicant may initiate a petition to permit Standard Land Division down to a five-acre minimum lot size in Tier II. Uses permitted shall continue as prescribed for Tier II.

(b)

The application shall be a Site Analysis application and shall be processed through a Type II procedure with the applicant demonstrating that the 67% development condition has been met and is in compliance with other applicable standards of this Code.

(2)

Tier II

Following the development of 67% of the combined net acreage in Tier I and Tier II of the first SID, an applicant may petition for a second SID on any vacant area of 50 acres or greater in Tier III. Such an application shall be made as a Site Analysis application and shall be processed through a Type II procedure unless previously approved under Section 377-4.2 A., then it shall be processed as a Type I. The burden of demonstrating that 67% development of Tier I and II has been met and is in compliance with the applicable standards of this Code rests on the applicant.

B.

Additional Tiers:

The total number of times the SID process of creating new tiers may be applied is determined by the formula below:

Formula:   Gross Acreage of SID / 50 Acres = Maximum Number times the SID Process may be applied
Example:   210 Gross Acres / 50 Acres = 4.2 times

 

Result: The SID process may be applied four times in this Special Industrial District creating a potential total of 9 final tiers.

Note: If the formula results in a fraction 0.5 or above, an additional SID process may occur if the conditions in Section 377-4.4 C. can be met.

C.

Final SID:

When the SID has been legally applied, and when in subsequent applications, Tiers I and II have been 67% or more developed, and when the option of going through one additional SID process to create an additional set of tiers remains except the remaining acreage in Tier III is less than the 50-acre minimum required for application of an SID, then any vacant buildable land remaining in Tiers I and II from previous tier phases may be added to Tier III to create a 50-acre parcel for the application of an additional SID with the following limitations:

(1)

No more than a combined total of five acres of vacant buildable land may be transferred from Tiers I and II of the previous phase for such purposes;

(2)

Land so transferred must be contiguous and incorporated into the overall design of the SID in a cohesive and comprehensive manner which lends itself to the orderly provision of services and creates compatible lotting patterns and uses of land; and

(3)

Such a transfer shall occur through a Type I lot line adjustment.

D.

Expansion of Existing, Contiguous Industrial Development

(1)

When an existing, approved industrial use requires expansion to a contiguous area, and when such expansion can only occur on the last remaining 30-acre parcel within the SID as a result of other contiguous areas being fully committed to development, the use of the last remaining 30-acre parcel within the SID for industrial expansion will be permitted under the following conditions:

(a)

Expansion must be from a contiguous, existing industrial development;

(b)

The proposed expansion involves a single-user industrial use;

(c)

The proposed expansion will require a minimum of five acres;

(d)

The proposed expansion will not create a remaining lot of less than five acres in the last remaining 30-acre parcel;

(e)

No further parcelization of the lot used for expansion shall be permitted; and

(f)

The above described process shall occur through a Type II lot line adjustment. The expansion under these provisions shall not create a new, separate lot, but rather shall be an addition to the previous lot.

(2)

Once the entire SID, as designated by the Community Plan, has been developed to 67% of its potential and one 30-acre parcel in Tier III remains vacant and cannot meet the conditions set forth in 377-4.4 C., the SID restrictions on that 30-acre parcel and remaining buildable vacant land within the SID may be removed, with the exception of the use provisions of the SID, through the Plan Amendment process under the conditions of Strategy s under Policy #1 of the Comprehensive Framework Plan.

377-4.5

Special Conditions

A.

Preexisting Lots:

(1)

Preexisting lots within the boundary of an SID shall be considered as a part of the appropriate Tier of the first SID based upon their lot size.

(2)

The lot size of any preexisting lot shall be maintained until the Master Plan-Site Analysis for the entire SID is made, at which time it may be partitioned into lots which meet the minimum lot size permitted in the Tier in which it is included.

(3)

Development on preexisting lots shall be preceded by a Master Plan-Site Analysis application for the entire SID.

B.

Once the initial application of tiers within the SID process has occurred, that is, the Master Plan-Site Analysis has been approved, identifying the three tiers, and once development occurs on any part of the SID under the approved Master Plan, the tiers become fixed and cannot be transferred or altered except as permitted by the provisions of the SID, with the following exceptions:

(1)

Trades

In the event a landowner has an opportunity to sell, lease or lease-to-build a vacant parcel or vacant parcels previously approved as part of Tier I, II or III, and the purchaser or lessee desires the parcel(s) to be located in a tier of SID not previously contemplated and approved for that lot size or location, the landowner may petition for a lot location trade within the SID.

A parcel location trade shall involve only vacant buildable lands and such a trade shall involve equal amounts of land such that the net results of potential lot parcelization is exactly equal to what it would be both before and after such a trade. The adjustment shall be approved if the parcel locations resulting from the trade can be incorporated into the overall design of the SID in a cohesive manner which lends itself to acceptable patterns and uses of land. Parcel location trades will be processed as a Type I procedure. Notwithstanding any other parcel procedure, lot line adjustments shall be processed as a trade.

C.

Mortgage Lot in a Special Industrial District

The creation of a mortgage lot within the Special Industrial District may be considered through a Type I procedure subject to the following cited limitations:

(1)

The proposed mortgage lot shall be limited to and located in Tier III of an approved Special Industrial Overlay District;

(2)

The parent lot, from which the mortgage lot is to be created, shall be a lawfully created lot located in Tier III of an approved Special Industrial Overlay District;

(3)

The parent and mortgage lot shall both have legal access;

(4)

The proposed mortgage lot shall be a minimum of ten acres in size;

(5)

An affidavit, approved as to form by County Counsel, shall be completed, signed, notarized and filed with the Department of Assessment & Taxation, Recording Division, stating that the applicant agrees:

(a)

That in the event of a sale or transfer, both lots will be sold simultaneously as a unit to the same buyer,

(b)

That the mortgage lot and the balance of the parent lot will be consolidated into one tax lot as soon as the applicant secures title to either, and in the event of foreclosure, the balance of the parent lot becomes unbuildable unless subject to the benefits accruing through a valid reiteration of a subsequent Special Industrial Overlay District approval.

(6)

A lawfully created lot in Tier III of an approved Special Industrial Overlay District shall be eligible for only one mortgage lot at any point in time.

381-1

Intent and Purpose

The intent of the Interim Light Rail Station Area Overlay District is to direct and encourage development that is transit supportive and pedestrian oriented in areas within approximately a one-half mile radius of planned Westside light rail transit station sites pending the development and adoption of site specific station area plans.

The purpose of this District is to limit development during this interim period to that which has a sufficient (1) density of employees, residents or users, (2) number of trips serviceable by transit and (3) pedestrian oriented design so as to be supportive of light rail transit and pedestrian travel and reinforce the substantial public investment in Westside light rail transit.

381-2

Applicability

The Interim Light Rail Station Area Overlay District shall apply to lands within approximately one-half mile of light rail station sites, as shown on applicable community plan maps.

In identifying areas subject to this district, consideration was given to parcel size, ownership patterns, the existing transportation network, existing development patterns, development and redevelopment opportunities, the ability of pedestrians to access transit easily, the amount and location of vacant land, and other relevant factors.

The standards of this district shall apply only to development on portions of lots or parcels within the boundaries of the district, and not to development on adjacent lots or parcels under common ownership or portions of lots or parcels located outside the district.

381-3

Designation of Interim Light Rail Station Area Overlay District

The Interim Light Rail Station Area Overlay District shall be applied to community plan maps through the legislative (Type IV) planning process.

When revisions are proposed, the original master plan must remain fundamentally intact. For example, site plans, street layouts, and use areas may not be reversed (flip-flopped). The Type I minor revision process only allows changes that have no off-site impacts. Therefore, only limited changes are allowed through this process.

A.

Minor revisions to an approved State or Regional Park Master Plan may be made through a Type I procedure to the location or size of structures, uses and roads, subject to the following:

(1)

The change will not result in the location of a use, structure, or road within 200 feet of the perimeter park boundary;

(2)

The change will not result in an increase in average daily trips as compared to the average daily trips in the traffic analysis prepared for the State or Regional Park Master Plan.

(3)

A maximum of 20% one-time increase in the number of planned parking spaces in any parking lot or park use area;

(4)

Extension of a road to provide access to a planned use that is expanded or relocated only if the extension is needed to serve the expanded or relocated use; and

(5)

Building locations, parking areas, and use areas shall not be relocated in areas designated Water Areas and Wetlands, Water Areas and Wetlands and Fish and Wildlife Habitat, or Significant Natural Areas.

B.

No reduction to the screening and buffering standards (Section 411) are allowed.

392-9

Development Standards for Pedestrian-Oriented Mixed-Use Districts

The development standards listed below apply within the Pedestrian-Oriented Mixed-Use Districts. In addition, the standards of Article IV - Development Standards, including Section 422 (Significant Natural Resources), are applicable as required by Section 403-3.

392-9.1

Building Entrances

Buildings must have at least one primary entrance door facing a public sidewalk. The allowed entrance location includes a building corner.

392-9.2

Transparency

Transparency refers to the amount of glazing (such as windows and glass doors) on a building façade. High levels of transparency at the ground floor allow pedestrians to see into interior spaces, thereby creating a direct connection between public and private realms and engaging the interest of passersby. High transparency on building street-facing façades is appropriate for mixed-use areas with active commercial or nonresidential uses at the ground floor, but less so for multi-dwelling buildings where privacy is more of a concern for residents.

A.

Transparency is measured as a percentage of wall area. Ground floor transparency is measured as the wall area up to the finished ceiling height of the fronting space or 14 feet above finished grade, whichever is less. Upper floor transparency is measured as the wall area higher than 14 feet above finished grade.

B.

Visible transmittance (VT) is a measure of the amount of visible light transmitted through a material (typically glass).

C.

The transparency standards described in the table and E., below, are applicable to all street-facing building façades that are visible from the street and are not located behind other buildings.

DISTRICT
BUILDING USE AT GROUND FLOOR NMU CCMU
Commercial or nonresidential Ground floor: min. 40%
Upper floors: min. 20%
Residential Ground floor: min. 25%
Upper floors: min. 20%

 

D.

Figures 392-2 and 392-3 are illustrative examples of building façades meeting the transparency standards. The figures are not intended to depict specific required window configurations.

E.

Additional Transparency Standards:

(1)

All buildings with nonresidential ground floor windows must have a visible transmittance (VT) of 0.6 or higher, with the exception of medical and dental offices, which may have tinted windows. A development application must include VT information from the manufacturer for all windows and glass doors on street-facing building façades.

(2)

Minimum transparency is not required on building façades that do not face a street.

or Nonresidential Building

Figure 392-3 Transparency Example for Residential Building

Figure 392-3 Transparency Example for Residential Building

392-9.3

Weather Protection

Weather protection such as awnings, canopies, and recessed entries enhance pedestrian comfort by providing protection against sun and rain. They can also provide visual interest and help define the ground level of buildings, while establishing a human scale for development.

A.

The weather protection standards described in the table and B., below, are applicable to all street-facing building façades that are visible from the street and are not located behind other buildings. Figures 392-4 and 392-5 provide illustrative examples of the standards.

DISTRICT
BUILDING USE AT GROUND FLOOR NMU CCMU
Commercial or nonresidential Minimum 40% of building frontage
Residential Protection over all building entries

 

B.

Additional Weather Protection Standards:

(1)

Weather protection may be provided by awnings, canopies, arcades, colonnades, recessed entries, or a combination of these elements.

(2)

Vertical clearance from the weather protection element to the sidewalk must be between 8 and 12 feet.

(3)

Awnings and canopies must project at least 5 feet from the building façade.

(4)

Awnings and canopies that extend over the right-of-way must meet the following additional standards:

(a)

Must be removable, and are limited to those that are cantilevered or supported by wall-mounted brackets;

(b)

Must not reduce the minimum sight distance below the thresholds in Section 501-8.5 F.; and

(c)

Require the approval and recordation of an Encroachment Agreement (Revocable Permit to Encroach Right-of-Way).

(5)

Balconies, arcades, colonnades, structural awnings or canopies, and awnings or canopies supported by ground-mounted poles shall not extend over or into the right-of-way.

392-9.4

Building Articulation

Articulation is variation in architectural features that breaks up larger building fronts into smaller planes and masses. Articulation is key to creating visual interest, establishing a rhythm for pedestrians, and maintaining a human scale. Features that create articulation include windows, balconies, recesses, projections, roofline offsets, canopies, or changes in building material.

A.

The building articulation standards listed below apply to all street-facing façades that are visible from the street and are not located behind other buildings. Figures 392-6 and 392-7 provide illustrative examples of the standards.

B.

Façade Variation Standards:

(1)

Street-facing building façades shall be articulated with a minimum 2-foot horizontal change in building plane at least every 30 feet of the façade's length. This façade variation standard must be met for each building story.

(a)

Façade variation features may, but are not required to, extend the full height of the building.

(b)

The façade variation through change in building plane shall be provided through at least two of the following:

(i)

(ii)

Building recesses at least 6 feet wide;

(iii)

Upper level balconies (projecting or recessed) at least 6 feet wide;

(iv)

Front porch or stoop projections, at least 4 feet wide;

(v)

Recessed building entries at least 6 feet wide;

(vi)

Green walls (vertical surfaces designed and planted to be covered at maturity by plants to a minimum height of 10 feet; sometimes called "vegetated walls," "living walls," or "vertical gardens") at least 6 feet wide.

C.

Roofline Articulation Standards:

(1)

Roofline articulation shall be accomplished by providing one of the following roofline or roof form elements at least every 30 feet: gables, dormers, offsets in ridgeline, stepped parapets, cornice lines, or changes in roofline elevation.

(2)

The distance between roofline articulation elements shall be measured from the center point of the element (for example, gable, dormer, offset) to the center point of the next roofline articulation element, or to the edge of the roof if that is the next closest break in the roofline.

D.

Significant Recess Standards:

(1)

When the length of a building exceeds 200 feet, every 100 feet of building length requires a full building height recess that is at least 20 feet wide by 15 feet deep.

390-1 - Intent and Purpose

390-1.1

The purpose of the North Bethany Subarea Overlay District is to direct and encourage development that is primarily residential, with community needs (e.g., parks, neighborhood commercial, and public/community services) within 0.25-mile of residents in the North Bethany Subarea.

390-1.2

The intent of the North Bethany Subarea Overlay District is to establish a development pattern that adheres to the North Bethany Concept Plan. This District reflects the detailed planning that went into the creation of the concept plan, including planning infrastructure and services across the Subarea, with attention to the neighborhood scale rather than for each development. Land use and density in North Bethany is established to support commercial development within walking distance of residential development and to accommodate future transit service to the area. Trails, street connectivity, and building setbacks and orientation enhance the pedestrian environment in North Bethany.

390-18 - Density Restricted Lands

390-18.1

Intent and Purpose

Density Restricted Lands are intended to implement the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and North Bethany Subarea Plan by identifying areas in North Bethany where a more detailed level of analysis has been conducted through the planning process to identify areas not planned for residential development.

Section 390-18 refers to the corresponding Density Restricted Lands Map in the North Bethany Subarea Plan. The purpose of identifying Density Restricted Lands is to identify lands in North Bethany where density for future residential development has not been provided pursuant to standards under Title 11 of Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan.

Density Restricted Lands are comprised of those areas where development is otherwise limited under applicable regulations, such as significant wetlands (Water Areas and Wetlands, per Section 422), water quality buffer areas (CWS' vegetated corridors), floodplains (FEMA 100-year floodplain, per Section 421), drainage hazard areas (per Section 421), parks and open spaces (per the Significant Natural and Cultural Resources map), and slopes greater than 25% (per Section 410). In many cases these different categories of restricted areas overlap with one another.

390-18.2

Density Restricted Lands Designation

The boundaries of the Density Restricted Lands designation are defined as concurrent with the edge of the combined restricted area, represented by a composite of the various areas of applicability as defined in this Section. The Community Plan map depiction of Density Restricted Lands is based on best available information at the time of adoption, including a Local Wetland Inventory completed in February 2010. For some features, such as Drainage Hazard Areas, specific boundaries have not yet been determined.

Precise boundaries for Density Restricted Lands may be refined by specific site analysis, such as survey and wetland delineation, provided all applicable land categories are addressed. It is anticipated that more accurate, site-specific boundary data will be provided as part of a development application and that this more accurate information will be used to identify the delineated extent of the Density Restricted Lands designation on a given site. Community Plan maps may be periodically updated by the county to reflect any more accurate data that has been approved through development review.

390-18.3

Applicability

The Density Restricted Lands designation applies to land categories with known regulatory limitations on development. These include:

A.

390-21 - Review Criteria for Type III Uses

390-21.1

Intent and Purpose

The planning process to develop the North Bethany Subarea Plan identified the location of the majority of future public and private Type III uses (e.g., public schools, a fire station, a religious institution). Since the Subarea Plan, with its implementing land use districts, specifies the types and locations of the majority of needed Type III uses, these uses are presumed to be appropriate uses, subject to these uses being developed in a manner:

A.

That makes the Type III uses compatible with existing and future adjacent uses; and

B.

That mitigates adverse impacts, if any, to existing and future adjacent uses.

The intent of this Section is to provide standards for review of Type III uses in the North Bethany Subarea in lieu of Section 403-3.1's Type III denial criteria that is applicable outside of the North Bethany Subarea. Application of Section 390-21 is intended to ensure that, to the extent practicable, 1) adverse impacts from a Type III use on existing or future adjacent uses are mitigated; and 2) the Type III use will be compatible with existing or future adjacent uses.

Application of the requirements of this Section implements the intent and purpose of this Section through a Type III review process that emphasizes building orientation and height, building materials, privacy, buffering, and access; and provides an opportunity for nearby property owners and residents to testify about the proposed development at a public hearing.

Application of the requirements of this Section shall not preclude approval of the Type III use.

390-21.2

Applicability

The requirements of this Section shall apply to all Type III uses in the North Bethany Subarea. This Section does not apply to Type I or Type II uses reviewed through the Type III procedure.

390-21.3

Type III uses shall meet the following:

A.

Consider the location of access and parking for the proposed use in relationship to existing or future adjacent uses;

B.

Buildings and building openings (e.g., windows, doors) shall be located and oriented to provide maximum privacy to surrounding existing and future structures;

C.

Maintain the setback requirements of the primary district unless the Review Authority determines that it is necessary to modify the setbacks to provide more privacy to existing and proposed structures; and

D.

Landscaping and fencing may be required (in addition to requirements of Section 390-16 or Section 430) to maintain the privacy of existing and proposed dwellings on adjacent properties.

390-21.4

The Review Authority may impose specific conditions of approval to ensure that the development is compatible with adjacent existing or future uses and/or to mitigate adverse impacts. Conditions of approval may include but are not limited to:

A.

Require increased setbacks;

B.

Require landscape buffers;

C.

Change the location or orientation of buildings, the location of building openings, and the location of the access and parking;

D.

Change the type or color of proposed exterior building materials;

E.

Reduce the maximum allowed building height;

F.

Reduce the maximum square footage and height of signs; and

G.

Limit the use of outside public address systems.

390-21.5

Submittal Requirements

In addition to all other submittal requirements, applications shall include:

A.

A plan of complete development of the subject property and existing or potential development of adjacent vacant parcels, including the distance between the proposed structures on the subject property and existing or future structures on adjacent parcels;

B.

A site plan showing locations and setbacks of each structure and other on-site improvements, such as parking, ball fields and playgrounds; and

C.

A screening and buffering plan showing all existing landscaping and buffering and any additional landscaping and buffering, including fencing, needed to maintain the privacy of existing structures on adjacent parcels.

390-26 - Adjusting Land Use District Boundaries

The boundary between two land use districts within a development site may be adjusted through the Type II or III development review process (without the use of a Planned Development) when the following requirements are met.

390-26.1

The land use district boundary does not follow:

A.

A property line;

B.

An existing street; or

C.

A Primary Street.

390-26.2

The land use district boundary may be moved within a 150-foot wide corridor that is measured 75 feet from the land use district boundary. The land use districts on either side of the adjusted boundary shall remain unchanged.

390-26.3

The adjusted land use district boundary shall not:

A.

Result in a decrease to the minimum density required on the development site; or

B.

Result in an increase to the maximum density permitted on the development site that is greater than 5%.

390-26.4

The adjusted land use district boundary is consistent with the North Bethany Subarea Plan's density transect, including the density transition designation on the applicable Neighborhood map.

390-26.5

For the purposes of this Section, "density transect" means the transition of residential density from high to medium and medium to low. The highest densities are adjacent to commercial areas, the community parks and the Park Blocks. The lowest densities are adjacent to the UGB and areas with natural constraints, such as steep slopes. Density transition designations are noted on the Neighborhood maps.

390-27 - Reserved

Editor's note— Ord. No. 885A, § 2.1.(Exh. 1, § 11.), adopted June 28, 2022, effective July 28, 2022, repealed the former § 390-27 in its entirety, which pertained to Cluster Housing and derived from original codification.

390-28 - Alternative Partition Standards for the Conveyance of Land in the North Bethany Subarea for Fixed Parks, Neighborhood Parks, and Regional Stormwater Facilities

390-28.1

Intent and Purpose

The purpose of this Section is to provide alternative Standard Partition standards to allow property owners in the North Bethany Subarea to sell a portion of their property to the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) for parks and/or Clean Water Services (CWS) for regional stormwater facilities prior to the development of their property. Consequently, the implementation of standards in this Section may create one or more parcels that cannot be developed until a subsequent development application is submitted and approved for the created parcel(s).

It is not the intent of this Section to require preliminary or final development plans or engineering plans to show how the subject site will ultimately develop for the purpose of creating parcels for parkland or regional stormwater facilities. The provisions of this Section defer the application of other requirements of this Code and the requirements of the North Bethany Subarea Plan (in the Bethany Community Plan) that are applicable to the North Bethany Subarea. However, the provisions of this Section require that all deferred requirements must be satisfied when the parcels created pursuant to this Section are developed.

Examples of deferred standards include, but are not limited to, the full application of Article V (e.g., right-of-way dedication, street improvements), Section 430-97 (Parks), and the dimensional requirements of the Primary District. Due to the deferral of these standards, a parcel without frontage on a street may be created without a variance to the applicable access standards.

Under the provisions of this Section, some parcels may be created where a Primary Street (adopted by the North Bethany Subarea Plan) forms the property line for a portion of two or more of the parcels. Because development and engineering plans are not required to show how each parcel will ultimately be developed (e.g. through a Standard Subdivision), the final location of the Primary Street(s) will be determined as part of a subsequent development application. Therefore, it is expected that property line adjustments will be necessary to reflect the final location of the Primary Street(s) and to allow for the deferred standards to be met.

When a property owner chooses to use these alternative Standard Partition standards, the property owner understands that the development of the property is restricted until all the deferred standards are met, except for permits for building improvements to existing, lawful structures.

In order to inform potential future purchasers about the restricted use of a parcel(s) until full development occurs, the property owner will be required to record a legal document in the county Department of Assessment & Taxation Recording Division that describes the restrictions and that runs with the title of the land.

When the subject parcel has a dwelling, a new parcel containing the dwelling cannot be created unless that parcel has frontage on a public street as required by the Primary District.

390-28.2

Applicability

A.

Only property that has land designated as a fixed or neighborhood park as shown on the North Bethany Subarea Plan or land designated as a regional stormwater facility as shown on the North Bethany Subarea Drainage Master Plan is subject to this Section.

B.

When THPRD or CWS propose to acquire property to accommodate facilities identified in Section 390-28.2 A. above, all applicable standards of this Code and the North Bethany Subarea Plan that are not required to approve the application, including right-of-way and easement dedications and construction of transportation improvements, shall be deferred until a subsequent development application for any of the parcels created pursuant to this Section is approved. This provision does not preclude the property owner from obtaining building permits for improvements to existing, lawful structures.

C.

When a Primary Street forms the property line of a new parcel(s), that property line will need to move to coincide with the location of a future right-of-way, a stormwater facility or a park configuration as determined by a future final land use approval on any parcel approved by the Standard Partition. Therefore, the applicants of the alternative Standard Partition shall be conditioned to allow future property line adjustment to facilitate development of the approved parcels.

D.

All conditions of approval shall be recorded in the Department of Assessment & Taxation Recording Division and shall be binding upon all heirs, successors and assigns.

390-28.3

Submittal Requirements

A.

Applications shall include the following:

(1)

Documentation verifying THPRD or CWS ownership of the land or evidence that the land will be conveyed to THPRD or CWS by way of the Standard Partition approved pursuant to this Section:
