Rian Windsheimer Region 1 Manager Oregon Department of Transportation 123 NW Flanders Street Portland, OR 97209
Dear Mr. Windsheimer,
The Equity and Mobility Advisory Committee (EMAC) recently completed an Equity Framework for the I- 5 and I-205 Toll Projects. On behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, I am writing to request that the Region 1 Area Commission on Transportation become familiar with this Equity Framework and use it as the guiding framework in your role as a policy advisory committee to the Oregon Transportation Commission for the Toll Project. Please share this letter with the Region 1 ACT.
EMAC defines equity for transportation projects as the just allocation of burdens and benefits within a transportation system. Equity, for ODOT’s toll projects, is described in two ways:
• Process Equity – planning processes having meaningful participation from historically excluded and underserved communities. • Outcome Equity – acknowledging existing inequities and striving to prevent historically excluded and underserved communities from bearing the burden of negative effects from toll projects with a focus on: o Full participation o Affordability o Access to opportunity o Community health
The Equity Mobility Advisory Council, appointed by the Oregon Transportation Commission, brings voices and perspectives not traditionally or currently included in the planning process. The fifteen members represent the Portland metro area and Southwest Washington. Over the two-year process, the Committee will seek extensive community engagement that centers historically and currently underserved and underrepresented voices.
Board of County Commissioners 155 North First Avenue, Suite 300, MS 22, Hillsboro, OR 97124-3072 phone: (503) 846-8681 • fax: (503) 846-4545
Transportation Equity Framework Letter of Support April 9, 2021
The Equity Framework provides a solid foundation for the success of the toll program to meet its dual goals of reducing traffic congestion and generating revenues to help fund congestion relief projects.
Sincerely,
Chair Kathryn Harrington Washington County Board of Commissioners

VETERAN SERVICES PROPOSAL FOR UPDATED HOLIDAY EVENTS AND STRATEGIC OUTREACH
Washington County, Disability and Aging and Veteran Services, has hosted Veterans and Memorial Day events for the past 8-9 years. This year, due to the pandemic, we were unable to host ceremonies in the traditional manner. Instead, a DAVS Veteran Services Officer, partnered with TVCTV to host a virtual Veterans Day event (link to event) This video has received over 200 views. During the traditional ceremonies we provided information about how to contact our office to receive assistance, but do not usually generate a large response. While we have not attempted to collect data on why it does not increase call volume, I suspect it is because the people that attend are predominantly existing clients. While Veterans Day and Memorial Day are important holidays to be observed in our community, the current activities do not meet our intended goal of connecting with new veterans, or of reaching historically and currently underrepresented veterans. We feel it is time to look at other ways to reach veterans who would benefit from our services.
Washington County DAVS Holiday Outreach Program Currently we host two events per budget year. We spend approximately $7000 on both events. This includes coffee, cookies, a tent, and chairs. Facilities aids with set-up, having a facility person on site for tent set-up and someone from the Fair Grounds set up the podium and provide garbage receptacles. Most years we have approximately 100-200 attendees, many of them from the Veterans of Foreign Wars or the American Legion that we partner with for the presentation of colors and the gun salute.
The Objective
Improve effectiveness of outreach in reaching new veterans while upholding the importance of both Holidays
• Need #1: Reach “new” veterans and introduce them to services we provide. • Need #2: Reach underserved populations as identified in the 2021-2024 DAVS Area Plan • Need #3: Provide a connection point for veterans in our community. • Need #4: Ensure veteran holiday events are still provided in Washington County or available to residents.
1 The Opportunity
We have been unable to host traditional ceremonies this past year. This break provides an opportunity to shift our outreach focus to align with our Area Plan more closely.
• Goal #1: Host events that allow us to track “new” contacts with veterans • Goal #2: Integrate an overview of the services we provide into each event • Goal #3: Develop community events that honors service and provides a venue for veterans to connect with one another
The Plan
While honoring the importance of traditional veteran holiday events, develop and promote events that are more inclusive and help reach previously underserved veterans.
• Maintain traditional veteran holiday event awareness and access through partnership. Following the lead of ODVA and other Veteran Service Offices around the state we will post information about more traditional Memorial and Veterans Day events in the community on our webpage, online newsletter and on Facebook. For example, North Plains is hosting a Memorial Day event at 11:00 am this year, we are promoting the event and will attend in an outreach capacity. • Host a new Washington County Veteran get together on Veterans Day that attracts new veterans, possibly partnering with a local business to provide food and entertainment. Many other Veteran Service Offices have hosted BBQ type events in their communities with great success. • Develop and implement an outreach plan to educate, advocate and support veterans including BIPOC, LGBTQ, employer groups and other non-veteran specific groups. • Provide education and resources for veteran suicide and prevention and a path to connect in the community.

RE: City of Banks’ Trailhead Parking Improvement Community Project Appropriation request
Dear Congresswoman Bonamici:
The Washington County Board of Commissioners is writing in support of the City of Banks’ Community Project appropriations earmark request to expand the Banks-Vernonia Trailhead parking lot. Washington County is partnering with the City of Banks to improve safety, mobility, and access to recreational opportunity with a redesign of one of its major intersection adjacent to the Banks-Vernonia Trail trailhead. This funding will leverage the design completed as part of that project and construct the parking lot.
The Banks-Vernonia Trail is a wonderful asset and recreational destination for western Washington County. The proposed expansion is integral to increasing access to more trail users and providing greater inter-regional connectivity. The trail not only connects Banks with Vernonia, two thriving small towns, but also provides access to the Stub Stewart State Park, the Crown Zellerbach Trail spanning Washington and Columbia Counties. The community identified the need for the parking lot expansion through the Salmonberry Trail Valley Segment Plan (2018), which is envisioned as an 87-mile trail extending from Banks to Tillamook. By expanding the parking lot, the community will benefit from a more reliable recreational experience, more economic activity with more trail users, and reduced parking spillover impacts improving overall livability.
While our Community Project appropriations earmark request for the Aloha Livable Community and Safe Access to Transit project remains our top priority, the Washington County Board of Commissioners also supports the Banks Trailhead project to improve active transportation, vibrant rural economies, and community livability. Thank you for your consideration of this important project.
Respectfully,
Kathryn Harrington, Chair, Washington County Board of Commissioners

Re: THPRD Beaverton Creek Trail Community Project Appropriation request
Dear Congresswoman Bonamici:
I am writing on behalf of Washington County in support of the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District’s (THPRD) request for funding for the Beaverton Creek Trail (BCT). THPRD is seeking funding to assist with engineering, permitting and construction of this critical segment of Trail.
This segment of the Beaverton Creek Trail – between the regional Westside Trail and SW Hocken Avenue is located near the growing downtown are of the City of Beaverton. Currently, only on‐street routes exist in the project corridor for walkers and bikers. These routes are undesignated, provide out‐of‐direction connections and create conflicts between motorists and bicycles/pedestrians. These routes may also be inaccessible and/or require extra time for people to reach their destinations. The completion of this segment of the BCT will provide safe, off-street access between transit, homes, jobs and the vibrant downtown Beaverton.
The county has been assisting THPRD with the planning phase of this project, and we look forward to the project’s completion.
While our Community Project appropriations earmark request for the Aloha Livable Community and Safe Access to Transit project remains our top priority, the Washington County Board of Commissioners also supports the Beaverton Creek Trail project. It will help improve active transportation, regional connectivity, and community livability. We hope you will also support funding of this important project.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Tigard’s Fanno Creek Trail Community Project Appropriation request
Dear Congresswoman Bonamici:
The Washington County Board of Commissioners is writing in support of the City of Tigard’s request for Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Community Project Appropriation request for crossing improvements of the regional Fanno Creek Trail at SW Scholls Ferry Road.
While our Community Project appropriations earmark request for the Aloha Livable Community and Safe Access to Transit project remains our top priority, the Washington County Board of Commissioners also supports the Fanno Creek Trail crossing which will improve active transportation, community livability, and safety for trail users in this area.
The Fanno Creek Trail is a 10.5-mile regional trail that spans from the City of Portland through unincorporated Washington County and the Cities of Beaverton, Tigard and Tualatin. It is an important transportation corridor, providing access to jobs, housing, recreation, nature, and more.
Where the trail crosses SW Scholls Ferry Road, the road has an average daily traffic count of just over 43,000 trips (2019 counts). The current trail crossing is an underpass, which is flooded by a nearby creek for much the year.
Jurisdictions within Washington County are known to collaborate to deliver projects and this project is a prime example of such multi-jurisdictional collaboration. Given the challenges with the undercrossing and the need to ensure safe crossing of SW Scholls Ferry Road, the county, Cities of Beaverton and Tigard, and Clean Water Services (CWS) have partnered to study and implement solutions. A short-term solution to lessen the incidences flooding, to be undertaken by CWS this summer, will be to raise the undercrossing path a few inches. A long-term solution, for which funding is being sought, is installing a signalized, at-grade crossing, which will help safely accommodate the high volume of trail users year-round.
The requested funding will help with construction of this critical, active transportation link, ensuring year-round safe passage and access to regional centers, jobs, housing, nature, recreation and more.
County Administrative Office 155 North First Avenue, Suite 300, MS 21, Hillsboro, OR 97124-3072 phone: (503) 846-8685 • fax: (503) 846-4545
We hope you will support funding of this important project in addition to the Aloha Livable Community and Safe Access to Transit project.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Kathryn Harrington Chair, Washington County Board of Commissioners
WASHINGTON COUNTY
OREGON
On February 28, 2020, Washington County became the first county in Oregon, and among the first in the United States, to report a case of COVID-19, a disease caused by a virus that was almost entirely new to our worldwide public health and medical systems by that point. Over one year later, our county, along with the rest of the world, continues to respond to what has become the first pandemic in many of our lifetimes. True to form, Washington County has attempted to pursue our response collaboratively, working alongside partner organizations including health and medical providers, state leaders and agencies such as Governor Kate Brown and the Oregon Health Authority, cities, schools, special districts, private businesses and community-based organizations.
Together, our coalition quickly experienced the limits of our resources and capacity, even as we worked to focus our combined efforts. In addition, this new virus made clear the inequities in our systems that we knew existed but had not addressed.
With great support from Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, Senator Jeff Merkley and Senator Ron Wyden, Washington County became the recipient of $104.66 million from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Our Board of County Commissioners took pains to make thoughtful but rapid decisions, compliant with federal requirements, around putting these one-time funds into the most positive use possible for the entire community. Our approach was also greatly informed by the county organization’s first-ever Equity Resolution, which the board had adopted just days before the first reported case of COVID-19.
The story of how Washington County spent our share of federal coronavirus relief dollars is provided in this brief report. It is a story of heroic public service conducted collaboratively among government, nonprofit and private-sector organizations. It is also a story of what can happen when there is a collective will to remove barriers that have historically excluded people and to begin building more inclusive, equitable systems to support our physical and economic health.
We are grateful to everyone associated with the work described on the pages to follow, including our own Washington County employees and those of our partner organizations.
Thank you.

Expand access to democracy: ensure equitable access to the ballot and voting rights and ability to run for office. 8. Equitable, welcoming, and transparent government: Make the Capitol more accessible to community, lobbyists, non-native English speakers and potential legislators. 9. Revenue reform is a racial justice issue: BIPOC communities are disproportionately affected by an inequitable tax system. 10. Protect and expand critical social services: Ensure equitable services and supports for the most vulnerable among us.

Provide accountability to restore confidence of the work of police officers across Oregon. Reform the training and certification of officers; improve use of force protocols; modernize arbitration procedures; and support local accountability measures like those recently adopted by Portland voters.
Support equitable student success by reforming reliance on testing, ensuring social and emotional support and wraparound services for students impacted by COVID-19 and wildfires, and providing culturally inclusive curriculum.
Deconstruct Oregon's racist legacy by providing reparations to those impacted by systemic racism, curriculum development in cultural studies and the history of race in Oregon, and programs to provide culturally competency across public services around the state.
Senator James I. Manning Jr.
Empowers local contracting boards and agencies to designate public contracts as community SB 420 benefit contracts. Community benefits contracts will ensure that public projects provide workforce training through apprenticeships to gain skills in the construction trades and guarantee health coverage for those workers and their families.
SB 421 Directs the Oregon Department of Justice to maintain a statewide database of police officers who have had their certification suspended or revoked or have been subject of an investigation involving allegations of death or serious injury of an individual in custody, use of excessive force, discrimination based on a protected class, dishonesty, or commission of a crime while on duty.
SB 428 Continues the work of a task force to provide equitable, affordable, comprehensive, high quality, publicly funded health care to all Oregon residents.

HB 2588 Outdoor (Farmworker) Worker Safety Protections: Establishes a set of outdoor worker protections during times of unhealthy air quality, closing outdoor work activity during certain fire evacuation orders, allowing workers with underlying health conditions to stay home and providing compensation for those who are unable to work during unhealthy air quality or fire evacuations.
Expanding Regional Health Equity Coalitions (RHECs): Establishes a definition for Regional Health HB 2760 5 Equity Coalitions in statute, fully funds RHECs and lays the foundation to expand the RHEC program across the state.

Requires districts incidents of harassment, discrimination or intimidation to the state.
HB 2949 Works to correct structural inequities in the mental health care profession and inequitable accesses to care for underserved populations. Expands opportunities to enter the mental health profession and invests in access to care for BIPOC communities.
HB 2935 Prevents school districts from becoming members of voluntary organizations that administer interscholastic activities unless the organization prohibits race-based discrimination; clarifies meaning of race to include natural hair, hair texture, hair type and protective hairstyles for purposes of prohibited discrimination; clarifies that valid dress codes may not have disproportionate adverse impacts on members of a protected class.

Legislative Priorities Continued Representative Diego Hernandez
This legislation will require Oregon Department of Education (ODE) in consultation with STEM HB 2570 Investment Council to convene key stakeholders to develop a Computer Science State Plan. The plan will focus on equity and inclusion, identify standards, curriculum guidelines and professional development.
The Vendor Equity Act will legalize and decriminalize sidewalk vending across the State of HB 2568 Oregon. This would establish parameters for local regulation of sidewalk vending and prohibits local authorities from imposing criminal penalties.
This legislation would require incoming students at a four year educational institution to take an LC 3308 Ethnic Studies course as a general education requirement in a student’s baccalaureate education. 5
Representative Akasha Lawrence Spence*
*Rep. Lawrence-Spence has completed her term in office. BIPOC caucus members look forward to carrying her priorities in 2021.

Representative Andrea Salinas
HB 2359 Many health care providers aren’t able to speak the same language as their patients, leading to health inequities for non-English speaking patients. The Health Care Interpretation Act will set state standards for those who serve as language interpreters and for the providers that use these services. These standards will ensure that health care providers and interpretation services serve Oregonians with the right level of care for their language barrier needs. Oregon needs to limit the amount of campaign contributions individuals and small donor political LC 2276 action committees can give to candidates in order to help level the playing the field for our BIPOC communities. Independent expenditures and the donors responsible for them need to be more transparent and we must find a way to limit the overall costs of campaigns, rather than just shifting and hiding dollars. HB 2949 Oregon needs to reduce burnout, churn and turnover of the mental and behavioral health care workforce to stabilize access to care for patients seeking BIPOC providers. We need to make sure we have the right incentives in place for BIPOC students to afford their graduate school training and tuition and to enter into an industry that currently does not pay their workforce on par with physical health. 9 Oregon's Legislative Black, Indigenous, & People of Color Caucus 2021 Legislative Agenda
Legislative Priorities Continued Representative Tawna Sanchez
Creates the opportunity for cities and counties to operate a non- police mobile crisis response LC 2407 program using the CAHOOTS (Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets) model. CAHOOTS is a community-based public safety system that relies on trauma-informed de-escalation and harm reduction techniques to respond to crises involving mental illness, houselessness, and addiction.
HB 2505 Directs the Governor’s Child Foster Care Advisory Commission to establish a Child Welfare Equity Advisory Committee to advise the Commission and DHS regarding culturally appropriate child welfare services. The committee must represent historically underserved communities and take into consideration the geographic, ethnic, and gender diversity of the populations receiving child welfare services. In recognition of the existence, history, and culture of Indigenous People and to honor the HB5 2526 diverse history of this land, the state of Oregon will designate the second Monday of October of each year as Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
Representative Khanh Pham
HB 2839 Disconnect Oregon from the Federal CARES Act tax breaks which overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy Oregonians at a time when we need to protect General Fund dollars for needed social safety net programs.
HB 2995 Requires utilities to get 100% of their energy from renewable sources by 2035, including strong labor standards and more community-based renewable energy projects.
HB 2475 Authorizes discount utility rates for low-income households. Funding for environmental justice organizations to represent frontline communities in Public Utility Commission proceedings.

ATTACHMENT B
Planning Commission Rules Regarding Geographic Distribution of Members
Rules about Planning Commission (PC) membership are contained in Community Development Code (CDC) Section 107-2.1 (Planning Commission Membership). They state: A. The Planning Commission “shall consist of members appointed by the Board of Commissioners...”; and … E. Members of the Planning Commission “shall be residents of various geographic areas of the county….”
The CDC and Planning Commission Rules of Procedure (Resolution and Order No. 13-3, adopted Jan. 15, 2013) contain information on PC responsibility and authority and how meetings are to be conducted, but provide no further guidance on how members are chosen by the Board, or how “geographic areas of the county” are defined with regard to residency of members.
There are nine members on the Planning Commission. Historically, members have been geographically distributed so that two members represent each of the four Commissioner districts, and one member serves “at large.” In current practice, the respective Board member identifies his or her preferred candidate and the Board votes on the appointment. The at large appointment is recommended by the Chair.
When a vacancy occurs, staff reviews applications received and confirms the home address provided by each new applicant. Staff conducts a brief interview with each new applicant and makes a recommendation to the Board. Typically, this has been based on Commissioner District of the applicant as well as qualifications. Board members at times recruit candidates to apply or rely on those that have applied through County outreach.
Over the past 25 years, most appointments have been by Commissioner District – meaning the Commissioner recommends a candidate that lives in his or her district. This has not always been the case, however, and it is not required by the CDC or Rules of Procedure. Examples include:
Name Home Address Residency Appointed Service Jim Records 757 NE Brennan Ln. District 4 District 1 6/96 – 6/07 Domonic Biggi 7140 SW Crestdale Ct.

Staff welcomes Board discussion and direction on whether to continue the current process for future PC recruitments and recommendations or if changes are desired.

Session Date: April 13, 2021 Length of Time Requested: 60 minutes HOUSE BILL 2001 MIDDLE HOUSING ECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND MARKET Title of Topic: FEASIBILITY STUDY Department: Land Use & Transportation Presented by: Stephen Roberts, Director; Andy Back, Planning and Development Name(s) & Title(s) Services Manager; Theresa Cherniak, Principal Planner; Kim Armstrong, Senior Planner
LIST OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS OR PRESENTATIONS: • A presentation will be provided at the Work Session • House Bill 2001 Implementation Economic Analysis and Market Research: Background, Initial Findings and Potential Strategies report (hyperlinked here)
PURPOSE & DESIRED OUTCOME: Inform the Board about initial middle housing feasibility assessment results, and request Board feedback and guidance for continuing implementation efforts.
POLICY QUESTIONS FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER: • Do you have questions about the initial feasibility assessment results? • Are there any geographic variations in feasibility that staff should explore further, or specific considerations in a particular area? • Do you have comments on the proposed strategies listed for consideration? • Are there other strategies you would like to suggest for consideration? • Is there additional research or data collection that staff should prioritize to inform upcoming Board policy decisions related to House Bill (HB) 2001 implementation? SUMMARY OF TOPIC: HB 2001 was approved by the Oregon legislature in 2019 with the intent of encouraging more “middle housing” development, including duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, townhomes and cottage clusters in residential areas where single-family detached dwellings are now allowed.
As part of the County’s work to implement HB 2001, Land Use & Transportation retained ECONorthwest to study the economic and market feasibility of middle housing development in the urban unincorporated area. ECONorthwest’s analysis provides an assessment of if, where, and to what extent middle housing development might be financially feasible if the County implements regulations consistent with “minimum compliance” with HB 2001. This project, funded by a grant from the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), will allow the County to: • Understand factors that affect the likelihood that middle housing will be built; • Anticipate where middle housing may be economically feasible to develop; and • Assess likely impacts of potential County actions on middle housing feasibility to assist in policy decisions.
(continued)
The draft report on the initial findings and potential strategies likely to affect feasibility is now available. This Work Session will summarize the initial report results and ask for Board feedback.
In order to comply with HB 2001, Washington County will need to allow middle housing in residential districts in the Urban Unincorporated Area (UUA) where single-family detached dwellings are allowed. This analysis focuses on areas where middle housing development may become economically feasible under HB 2001, where it is not feasible to develop currently. The report provides a snapshot of potential middle housing feasibility using typical current costs and rents/sales prices for different communities in the UUA. It does not project how market conditions, development costs and financing conditions may change over time. While the analysis indicates where development of middle housing might be financially feasible, it cannot predict whether or when individual properties might develop with middle housing. Pace of middle housing development will be largely driven by property owner decisions to sell or redevelop.
The initial feasibility assessment indicates that: • Middle housing is feasible on a small percentage (less than 3%) of all parcels included in this analysis. This varies somewhat by community, ranging from less than one percent to just over seven percent. • Redevelopment is likely not financially feasible on the vast majority of developed lots, even if middle housing is allowed. • Redevelopment potential is mostly limited to larger lots. • Vacant lots and large lots with lower-value homes, manufactured homes, or accessory structures are more likely to be financially feasible for middle housing development. For many of these properties, single-family detached infill development is already financially feasible. • New middle housing is more likely to be developed as ownership housing (especially townhomes, and condominium units that look like townhomes) than rental housing. • Townhomes tend to be most financially feasible among the middle housing types.
Many of the factors that impact feasibility of middle housing development are out of the County’s control. However, there are potential regulatory and financial options related to middle housing that could be used to advance County policy goals or address identified needs. Some of these options could encourage more middle housing units, while others could increase community support for a wider variety of housing types. Some options have multifaceted potential ramifications that should be explored further. Staff will outline various strategies discussed in the report to gauge Board interest and direction and determine what additional information will be needed to make upcoming HB 2001-related policy decisions.
Work on this project must be completed and submitted to DLCD by June 30, 2021. A second briefing is planned for June on the final report.

www.co.washington.or.us | Land Use & Transportation 3 What is middle housing?
A range of housing types between single- family houses and larger multifamily buildings; often found in older neighborhoods: • Duplex • Triplex • Quadplex • Townhouse • Cottage cluster housing • Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
www.co.washington.or.us | Land Use & Transportation 4 HB 2001 provisions
Requires large cities outside Metro and counties and cities within Metro to: • Allow duplexes on each lot or parcel in the urban growth boundary (UGB) where a detached single- family dwelling is allowed • Allow all middle housing types in areas in the UGB that allow detached single-family dwellings Excludes Future Development land Can regulate middle housing to comply with statewide planning goal protections (e.g., Goal 5 natural resources) www.co.washington.or.us 5 Land Use & Transportation HB 2001 provisions
Local jurisdictions may: • Continue to allow detached single-family dwellings • Regulate siting and design of middle housing • Allow middle housing in additional locations beyond HB 2001 requirements Local jurisdictions must not: • “Discourage the development [of middle housing]… through unreasonable costs or delay” www.co.washington.or.us 6 Land Use & Transportation Minimum compliance highlights
• Duplex: Allow on any lot that allows a detached single-family dwelling. • For other types, if choose to regulate lot size, must at minimum allow: - Triplex: On lots ≥ 5,000 sf - Fourplex: On lots ≥ 7,000 sf - Cottage cluster: On lots ≥ 7,000 sf • Townhomes: Allow at four times max. density of detached single-family dwelling or 25 units/acre • Parking: Require no more than one off-street space per unit for all middle housing types www.co.washington.or.us 7 Land Use & Transportation Implementation process/timeline
www.co.washington.or.us | Land Use and Transportation 8 HB 2001 Economic Analysis and Market Research
www.co.washington.or.us | Land Use & Transportation 9 Overview of feasibility analysis
• Focus of ECO’s work: - What makes middle housing more / less economically feasible to build? - Where in unincorporated Washington County might middle housing be more / less economically feasible to develop? - How could available County policy choices affect middle housing feasibility?
www.co.washington.or.us 10 Land Use & Transportation Areas of focus
Analysis limited to: • Urban Unincorporated Area (UUA) • Lower-density residential designations • Excludes most undeveloped parts of North Bethany
www.co.washington.or.us | Land Use & Transportation 11 Analyzing Middle Housing feasibility
• Identifies what could feasibly happen with HB 2001 under current market conditions, not what will happen (property owners decide) • Focus on development / redevelopment (not conversion) • Accounts for current land use designations and limitations based on water-related resources generally, but not all site-specific conditions
www.co.washington.or.us 12 Land Use & Transportation Findings: Overall observations
• Middle housing feasible throughout UUA, but on a small fraction of parcels: - 0.5% - 7% by subarea, <3% overall - Roughly double percentage of parcels feasible for (re)development with single family housing • Redevelopment potential mostly limited to larger lots—average home in developed subdivision not likely to redevelop with middle housing • Ownership housing (mostly townhomes) more likely than rentals for new middle housing www.co.washington.or.us development 13 Land Use & Transportation Other considerations
• Pace of middle housing development in developed areas will be gradual - Redevelopment (and infill/conversion) more likely when property sells to new owner - Easier to remodel existing home than redevelop/ convert to middle housing in some cases • Even where middle housing appears more financially feasible than single-family, single- family dwellings may get built instead - Developer experience - Housing type preferences www.co.washington.or.us 14 Land Use & Transportation Findings by Subarea B A A. North (Bethany, Cedar Mill, West Haven-Sylvan): Strong potential for new townhomes and new single-family homes B. North central (Rock Creek, Oak Hills, Cedar Hills, Marlene Village): Very limited development potential C C. Central (Aloha, Other/Aloha, Heritage Baseline): Moderate development potential; possible risk to manufactured housing
www.co.washington.or.us | Land Use & Transportation 15 Findings by Subarea
D. East (Raleigh Hills, West Slope): Moderate development potential on large lots E. Southeast (Garden Home, Metzger): Moderate D development potential for multiple middle housing types on large lots, demand for moderately-priced homes F. Southwest (Northridge Woods, Bull Mountain): Possible F E townhome development on very large lots
www.co.washington.or.us | Land Use & Transportation 16 Equity considerations
• Allowing more and a wider range of housing types in neighborhoods: - Makes existing neighborhoods less exclusionary - Helps keep existing housing more affordable over time • New middle housing is less expensive to build and purchase than new single-family homes • Modest increase in displacement risk for existing renters - <100 additional rental homes potentially redevelopable due to middle housing - Manufactured home residents ~one third of these www.co.washington.or.us 17 Land Use & Transportation Estimated Pricing Estimated feasible price range for new construction: • Middle housing: $220,000-460,000 • Single-family housing: $390,000- $700,000+
www.co.washington.or.us 18 Land Use & Transportation Infrastructure considerations
• Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD), Clean Water Services (CWS), and County Transportation staff reviewed the report • No immediate concerns on report’s findings • On local streets not built to current standards, could exacerbate problems (e.g., lack of sidewalks, curbs, drainage) • County will partner with CWS, TVWD and other providers to monitor middle housing development activity over time • Depending on location and pace of actual development, there may be implications for timing of improvements
www.co.washington.or.us 19 Land Use & Transportation Preliminary strategies to consider
• Some code standards need to change for compliance: - Housing types allowed, lot size, density, etc. - Restrictions on land division in R-5 land use district? - Frontage improvement requirements • Other potential code strategies, depending on policy objectives: - Basic design requirements - Parking reductions for middle housing that is affordable and / or near transit - Density bonus to support middle housing that is affordable / has smaller rental units www.co.washington.or.us 20 Land Use & Transportation Preliminary strategies to consider
• HB 2001 requirement to consider strategies to increase affordability of middle housing, including: • Property tax exemptions • TDT / SDC waivers or reductions • Construction Excise Tax to fund affordable housing • Recommend evaluating as part of broader consideration of measures to support housing affordability generally
www.co.washington.or.us 21 Land Use & Transportation Board input
• Questions about the initial feasibility assessment results? • Are there any geographic variations you’d like staff to explore further or specific things to consider in a particular area? • Do the findings raise concerns about taking a minimum compliance approach to implementing HB 2001? - Interest in going beyond minimum requirements to encourage middle housing? - Any concerns / policy objectives that suggest exploring additional limitations (to the extent allowed by law)?
www.co.washington.or.us | Land Use & Transportation 22 Board input
• Do you have comments on the proposed strategies listed for consideration? • Are there other strategies we should consider? • Is there additional research or data collection staff should prioritize to inform upcoming Board policy decisions related to HB 2001 implementation?
www.co.washington.or.us | Land Use & Transportation 23 Next steps
Recommendations and Board acknowledgement • June 15 - Work session presentation on preliminary plan and code recommendations and follow-up from today’s briefing • June 22 - Board acknowledgement of study required per Department of Land Conservation and Development grant (consent agenda) • Findings will inform code standards and requirements as part of HB 2001 implementation
