Page 1 of 1 – Proclamation
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, in February, we recognize and acknowledge the African American
struggle for racial justice that stirred the very conscience of our nation and helped
guide the shape of her character; and
WHEREAS, African Americans for generations have courageously led the
pursuit of justice and equality, from Frederick Douglass to Harriet Tubman to Martin
Luther King, Jr. and beyond; as our nation struggles to overcome past and present
failings that result in persistent inequality, such leaders are crucial to help guide us
closer to the founding principle that all people are created equal; and
WHEREAS, African Americans have made significant contributions to our
nation’s economic, educational, political, artistic, literary, scientific and
technological advancements, despite historical and current injustices; and
WHEREAS, in Milwaukie, we celebrate the contributions of African Americans
who have been active in our community, including entrepreneurial boxing
promoter George Moore and Milwaukie Pastry Kitchen proprietors Hurtis and
Dorothy Hadley; and
WHEREAS, incidents in recent years have given rise to greater awareness of the
continued discrimination and even violence that African Americans face in their
daily lives, and the importance of a greater national dialogue to promote
understanding and break down barriers; and
WHEREAS, as individuals, we must learn more about the history of African
Americans generally, and in Oregon in particular, and work to build a Milwaukie
where every person has equal access to educational and employment
opportunities, and housing.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mark Gamba, Mayor of the City of Milwaukie, a municipal
corporation in the County of Clackamas, in the State of Oregon, and with the full
support and sponsorship of the Milwaukie Historical Society, do hereby proclaim
February 2018 to be African American History Month in Milwaukie and do
recommend its observance with appropriate programs and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and with the consent of the City Council of the City of
Milwaukie, I have hereunto set my hand on this 6th day of February 2018.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

Through: Ann Ober, City Manager
From: Peter Passarelli, Public Works Director
Subject: Solarize Milwaukie Debrief
ACTION REQUESTED
Receive an update and thank involved staff for the Solarize Milwaukie campaign.
HISTORY OF PRIOR ACTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS April 2016 – Council established a “Solarize” program and set solar energy goals for the City of Milwaukie. June 2017 – City Staff developed the framework for the Solarize Milwaukie program. August 2017 – Staff held educational forums to educate interested participants in the program. Fall 2017 – Installation of 13 systems. ANALYSIS The Solarize Milwaukie program successfully provided education to local homeowners, directed residents to local solar installers, and reduced cost to those participating in the program. Sunlight Solar Energy was the sole solar installation company to service the program. In partnership with the company, Milwaukie hosted a number of solar workshops where residents could ask questions directly to local officials, representatives from Solar Oregon, and solar installers. Those trainings emphasized consumer education. In the end, Sunlight installed 13 systems, with a 14th being installed at the end of February. The program included a significant outreach arm, which led to its success. Staff utilized postcards, postings in the Pilot, fliers, stickers, and FAQ sheets. Posters were placed outside City Hall and at the Farmer’s Market, and a banner on the homepage of the City website. Alma Frankenstien served as the primary staff person throughout this process. Her thoughts are:
- Modify the RFP to make it simpler and to include requirements for a contractor, an evaluation of previous experience, and points for supporting the City’s values (i.e. diversity, giving back to the community).
- Reduce requirements and change policies around the $2M professional liability requirement. This issue will be included in the next round of procurement updates.
- Maintain the educational meetings – they made for the most educated customers and they were the most likely to proceed through purchase.
- Enlist more community members to do this outreach should the City do a solarize campaign again; people listen to their neighbors more than they do to City employees they don’t know.
- Continue to pass along Google’s Project Sunroof website (https://www.google.com/get/sunroof#p=0 ). It was our greatest tool at helping people understand their options.

Page 2 of 2 – Milwaukie Bay Staff Report – Goal 3 Update 07.05.17
Current Market Since we started developing the Solarize campaign, several things have changed in the market. First, the state has discontinued the state level tax credit for solar installations. Contracts in place by December 31, 2017 are able to claim the tax credit even if it is not installed within 2017. Second, a significant tariff has been placed on imported solar panels. These two changes are expected to have a negative impact on the solar industry in Oregon. Sunlight Solar says it is too soon to know how big of an impact it will be, but is expecting a downturn. Energy Trust of Oregon believes the impact could be as much as a 50 percent reduction the installations for 2018.

COUNCIL STUDY SESSION MINUTES City Hall Conference Room
10722 SE Main Street
www.milwaukieoregon.gov
JANUARY 9, 2018
Mayor Mark Gamba called the Council meeting to order at 5:17 p.m.
Present: Council President Lisa Batey; Councilors Angel Falconer, Wilda Parks, Shane Abma
Staff: City Manager Ann Ober
City Recorder Scott Stauffer
Assistant City Manager Kelly Brooks
Public Works Director Peter Passarelli
Finance Director Haley Fish
Engineering Director Charles Eaton
Assistant Engineer Jennifer Garbely
1. Safe Access for Everyone (SAFE) Program Resourcing Proposal Mr. Eaton provided an overview of the SAFE program and the proposal to complete the program projects in an accelerated nine-year timeframe. The group discussed how the program projects had been prioritized by the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) and the Neighborhood District Associations (NDAs). Mayor Gamba and Mr. Eaton noted that the complexity of the Linwood Avenue project would delay its completion.
Mr. Eaton discussed program funding and explained that the projects had been grouped into 3-year cycles to correspond to the bonding cycle. He and Ms. Ober explained that the proposal was to complete all SAFE, ADA, Street Surface Maintenance Program (SSMP), Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and gas tax-funded projects within 9 years at an estimated cost of approximately $80 million.
Mr. Eaton discussed how existing utility infrastructure encroached on right-of-way (ROW) property and would conflict with sidewalk projects. The group discussed ROW acquisitions, street design features, and utility and sidewalk encroachment issues. Council President Batey suggested that letters be sent to property owners notifying them of encroachment issues and that the City could use the ROWs in the future.
It was noted that the Study Session was no longer being broadcast live as of 6:15 p.m.
The group remarked on the likelihood that property owners would react negatively to the impact of sidewalks in the ROW. They noted situations where sidewalks on both sides of the street would not be feasible and discussed the potential loss of on-street parking.
Mr. Eaton explained the benefits of a nine-year timeframe for completing the projects, noting staffing needs, bonding cycles, and utility coordination issues. The group discussed the impacts of receiving grant funding for specific projects on the program timeframe and prioritization of projects. They remarked on the financial costs associated with conducting 25 years’ worth of projects in a nine-year timeframe.
Ms. Brooks presented and discussed three options for staffing the program to complete the projects in nine years. She suggested the City could hire employees to administer the program in-house, hire some employees and contract out some work, or administer the program with existing staff. She reported that staff recommended the hybrid approach of hiring staff and contracting out some program work.
The group discussed the accelerated timeframe’s impact on existing staff and the challenges of hiring qualified engineers. Mr. Eaton remarked that he did not think the projects could be completed in less than nine years.
RS6
CCSS – 1/9/18 – DRAFT Minutes Page 2 of 3
The group discussed the benefits and costs associated with the proposal to complete the projects in a shorter timeframe. They remarked on the number of projects that would be happening in Milwaukie over the next few years.
Mr. Eaton and Mayor Gamba commented on the challenges of hiring contractors and the feasibility of the City hiring its own construction crew. Ms. Ober remarked on the need to assess the City’s space needs in terms of where new staff would be located. She asked for two Council members to serve on a staff committee to look at City facilities.
Council President Batey and Councilor Parks expressed support for the proposal to complete the projects in a nine-year timeframe.
The group noted that the City was in the process of acquiring property next to the Public Works Yard on Johnson Creek Boulevard that could house program staff. They remarked on how the projects had been prioritized by the PSAC and in which of the three bonding cycles various projects would be done.
Ms. Brooks discussed the costs of the proposed staffing approaches. She summarized that the hybrid model was projected to have the most cost savings and was the staff’s recommended option. She and Mr. Eaton explained how other cities have staffed similar programs and explained how staff would work with the consultants to make project decisions and negotiate ROW property arrangements. Ms. Ober remarked on the benefits for developing staff skill sets by doing some project work in-house.
Mayor Gamba expressed support for the hybrid staffing approach. He and Ms. Brooks remarked on whether applying for Federal grants for City projects was worth the effort given the requirements that come with receiving Federal funding through the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The group discussed the benefits and costs of the City seeking certification to handle allocations of Federal funding. They noted which agencies in the region were certified to process Federal funds and they discussed different ways the City could apply for Federal funding.
Councilor Parks and Councilor Abma noted their support for the proposed timeframe to complete the projects in the order identified by PSAC and the NDAs.
Councilor Abma and Councilor Falconer expressed support for Council President Batey’s recommendation that property owners with structures encroaching a ROW be given notice that the City may elect to conduct project work in the ROW. The group noted that the City had recently initiated a ROW permit program that involved a fee.
Ms. Ober summarized that Council was comfortable with a nine-year timeframe and hybrid staffing approach to complete the projects. She reported that staff would bring financing packages for Council discussion at a future Work Session. It was noted that staff would respond to an inquiry sent to Council from Robert Clark regarding program funding.
Ms. Fish briefly commented on the status of the bond funding for the Ledding Library construction project and the SAFE program. The group commented on the likelihood that the SAFE program fee would change in the coming years, as construction and debt service costs increase and as new residents move into the City.
Mr. Eaton and Ms. Fish asked for Council confirmation that staff was to move forward with the nine-year timeframe and make the associated changes to the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that would incorporate the 152 projects identified in the SAFE
RS7
CCSS – 1/9/18 – DRAFT Minutes Page 3 of 3
program. It was Council consensus that staff should move forward with the program as recommended by staff.
Mr. Eaton presented an annual report on the SAFE program. He noted the staff and budget work done to establish the program and reviewed anticipated project timelines. He reported that the program had collected more funding than anticipated because the estimated revenue had not included any growth factors. The group remarked on the industry and regional cost indexes and market demands.
Mr. Eaton explained that two projects would be underway by the summer of 2018, around Milwaukie Elementary School and Ardenwald Elementary School. The group commented on the projects to be done around schools and the complexity of the work to be done on Linwood Avenue next to Linwood Elementary School. It was noted that the Linwood area projects were expected to be completed by the summer of 2021.
Mr. Eaton reviewed next steps in setting up the SAFE program, including refining project scopes and cost estimates, conducting community outreach work, and getting projects done. Councilor Abma asked about the staff’s response to the timeframe to complete the projects. Ms. Garbely, Mr. Eaton, and Ms. Ober remarked on the Engineering Department staff’s interest in developing their skill sets by doing project work and working with consultants. They remarked on the likelihood that some projects would not be completed in nine years given the unknown factors that often delay projects, and they noted staff’s eagerness in working hard for Milwaukie.
Ms. Ober reiterated her request that two members of Council serve on a City space needs committee with staff. The group discussed and agreed that Councilor Parks and Council President Batey would serve on the City space needs committee.
Mayor Gamba adjourned the Study Session at 7:58 p.m.

Subject: Meek Street Storm Sewer Improvements
Authorization to acquire property
ACTION REQUESTED Adoption of a resolution authorizing the Engineering Director to acquire real property for the Meek Street Storm Improvement Project.
HISTORY OF PRIOR ACTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS July 5, 2017 City Council authorized an engineering agreement for design and construction services related to the Meek Street Storm System Improvements. Those services included the determinization of a final alignment and property acquisition requirements for the completed project in addition to other tasks. The contract also provides for the appraisal of the properties to be acquired and the negotiation of settlements regarding the acquisition requirements.
January 16, 2018 – City Council held an executive session to discuss the acquisition of real property related to the Meek Street Storm System Improvements.
ANALYSIS Property acquisition is recommended before completion of final design to allow for any minor changes that may result from negotiations with property owners. The project is anticipated to be completed over three budget cycles with design and R/W acquisition in this budget, construction of Phase 1 in the upcoming budget and construction of Phase 2 in a future budget. Authorization to acquire property for the Meek Street Storm System Improvements is needed to keep the project on schedule.
BUDGET IMPACTS Property acquisition was anticipated within the project scope and property appraised values are within those estimates.
WORKLOAD IMPACTS This work has been included in anticipated staffing requirements and is part of the current Capital Improvement Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend that the City Council authorize the Engineering Director to enter in negotiations and acquire the property identified for the Meek Street Storm System Improvements.
ALTERNATIVES Continue with final design of the project without property acquisition, which would be done later.

Subject: Business Oregon Bond Refunding Participation
ACTION REQUESTED Pass a motion directing the Finance Director to sign letter of consent to participate in bond bank refunding of loan #K05005.
HISTORY OF PRIOR ACTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS June 21, 2005 – City Council passed resolution 35-2005 which approved a Special Public Works loan for infrastructure improvements related to the North Main Village development. May 1, 2007 the state closed on Oregon Bond Bank sale which included the City’s Special Public Works Fund Loan #K05005. ANALYSIS We have been contacted by the state as they are pursuing a debt refunding and have requested our participation. See letter attached.
BUDGET IMPACTS Per the states estimates in current market conditions the refunded debt would result in a net present value savings of approximately $45,000 net of estimated debt issuance costs of $5,000 to have our bond counsel give an opinion on the new loan documents. Note the new loan will have an 8 year period in which the loan cannot be prepaid without penalty.
WORKLOAD IMPACTS Staff time will be required to respond to state inquires and coordinate bond counsel review of the updated loan agreements between now and estimated time of issuance of April or May 2018. Additional Council action will be required in order to authorize the refunding loan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Pass the action requested.
ALTERNATIVES Prepay the loan in full in the amount of $507,533 which would result in interest savings of $176,740 which would have been paid over the next 15 years. This loan is funded by the general fund therefore the cash needed to prepay the loan would need to be reallocated from other general fund initiatives.

City of Milwaukie Attention: Haley Fish, Finance Director 10722 SE. Main Street, Milwaukie, Oregon 97222
RE: Bond Refunding K05005 , current balance: $507,533.00
Dear Haley Fish:
Current interest rates are generally lower then when the above-referenced loan was originated. This makes it possible for us to consider refunding certain bonds for debt service savings, including those that funded a portion of the City of Milwaukie loan . Refunding involves issuing new bonds at a lower interest rate to retire old, higher-rate bonds. Subject to approval by the Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority Board, we estimate issuing the refunding bonds April or May 20 18; however our ability to do so depends on the availability of low interest rates at that time.
Current market conditions make it possible to issue refunding bonds for savings. If we issued the refunding bonds today and passed through the savings, the estimate for this loan would result in a percentage savings of 10.83% or a net present value savings of $45,472.59. Actual savings will depend on the interest rate environment at the time that the refunding bonds are sold. For example, if interest rates increase by 1.00% (or 100 basis points) from current rates your estimated savings decline to 4.89%, or $20,541 .66 of present value savings. The estimate of savings includes the costs of issuing the refunding bonds. In other words, savings estimates include the Bond Bank 's costs of issuance related to the sale of the refunding bonds. The City of Milwaukie may, however, incur costs related to retaining local counsel to confirm the validity and enforceability of the refunding loan.
The savings would not come in a lump sum but through lower loan payments over the remaining term of the City of Milwaukie loan. To set a new interest rate, we would need to amend the City of Milwaukie loan document(s), which would be sent to you. Note the refunding bonds, and thus, the amended loan, cannot be prepaid without penalty for eight years. All existing post compliance requirements would remain in force for the loan.
We are notifYing borrowers in advance of the refunding in order to offer them the opp01tunity to participate in the refunding or prepay their loans. We are not encouraging you to prepay. However, prepayment would affect the size and structure of the contemplated Bond Bank refunding, so we ask that you inform us if you intend to prepay. The deadline for notification is January 18, 2018, and the notification should be in writing at the above address.
We appreciate your business and hope you will stay with the loan program.
If you have any questions , please do not hesitate to call. Our number is 503-986-0123 .

Subject: Monroe Street Greenway Intergovernmental Agreement
ACTION REQUESTED Adopt a resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Clackamas County to share resources to further study and refine the adopted concept plan.
HISTORY OF PRIOR ACTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS City Council held public hearings on November 3, 2015 and December 1, 2015 to take public testimony on the Monroe Street Greenway Concept Plan.
City Council adopted the Monroe Street Greenway Concept Plan with resolution 107-2015 on December 1, 2015 with the direction to City Staff to “conduct additional modeling of traffic data and then coordinate with other agencies as needed and where possible test diverters proposed in the Concept Plan.”
ANALYSIS The Concept plan resolution directed staff to conduct additional modeling to further the concept design and make refinements as needed, with attention given to any impacts the proposed diverters would pose to the adjoining neighborhoods. Staff applied for a Metro Grant to conduct the additional planning work and to obtain funding for the design and construction of the project.
Concurrently with the City application, Clackamas County independently submitted for a Metro Grant to Design and Construct the portion of the Greenway that is within Clackamas County.
With the unsuccessful application for funding from Metro, it became apparent that better coordination was needed between Clackamas County and the City for the entire project to succeed in obtaining funding. City staff has been working with Clackamas County to identify additional information required to refine both concepts and has identified resources that can be shared to obtain the necessary information to refine the concept and present those findings to the Council for further consideration.
BUDGET IMPACTS This work is budgeted within the current biennium.
WORKLOAD IMPACTS This work was planned and scheduled within the current biennium
COORDINATION, CONCURRENCE, OR DISSENT Planning and Finance concur with the proposed IGA to further refine the Monroe Street design concepts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the mayor to sign an intragovernmental agreement with Clackamas County for the Monroe Street Greenway.

KGNC Membership I was concerned to read in the November 28th KGNC minutes (see below) that there was a concern expressed by a City Councilor that Island Station may be over represented.
I recently examined the membership requirements within the KGNC by-laws and became aware of a bias in membership that makes the Historic Milwaukie neighborhood over represented.
• By including a "downtown business or property owner" in the KGNC membership, the KGNC by-laws (see below) have created a bias with 3 members from Historic Milwaukie and only 2 members from Island Station.
• This occurs because 1) a "downtown business or property" is located entirely in the Historic
Milwaukie neighborhood; and 2) a "downtown business or property owner" is automatically a member
of the Historic Milwaukie NDA (see attached HMNDA By-laws).
I find bias especially concerning since the Water Resource Recovery Facility is located entirely within the Island Station neighborhood.
To correct this bias towards the Historic Milwaukie NDA, and to balance the membership
between the Historic Milwaukie and Island Station neighborhoods, I urge the KGNC to accept the application of Melissa Crawford (Perkins), who was invited to apply to be the citizen-at-large committee member in the KGNC.
Thank you, Milo Denham, Island Station Neighbor
KGNC November 28th 2017 Minutes KGNC committee recruitment
The committee discussed the current vacancy and the two potential candidates that had applied to fill the at-large position. There was discussion about the concern that both applicants were from the Island Station Neighborhood and that Island Station may be over represented. Carolyn Tomei mentioned that one of the applicants was younger and that other demographics besides neighborhoods should be considered for selection. The committee voted to continue to recruit through the end of year and discuss again at the January meeting. The committee voted 4-1 in favor with Carolyn Tomei casting a no vote.
KGNC By-Laws The KGNC by-laws establish membership as follows: There are seven (7) members on the Committee;
"four Neighborhood District Association (NDA) representatives, two each from Island Station and Historic Milwaukie neighborhoods, one downtown business or property owner, one citizen-at-large, and one member of City Council."
Historic Milwaukie NDA By-laws A review of Article III: "Membership Requirements" in the Historic Milwaukie NDA bylaws notes that the following are members of the NDA:
A. Anyone of voting age or older is a member of the Historic Milwaukie Neighborhood District Association who is:
1. A resident within the neighborhood district; or 2. A property owner whose property is located within the neighborhood
district; or 3. A business owner whose business is located within the neighborhood
district; or 4. A designated representative of a business, corporation, or trust located
within the neighborhood district; or 5. A designated representative of a non-profit business or group located
within a neighborhood district.
Note: You don't have to attend an NDA meeting to be a member of the Historic Milwaukie Neighborhood District Association. This is in contrast with the KGNC, where its members are expected to attend meetings.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS On July 18, 2017, after multiple advisory group meetings of the Project Advisory Group (PAG) and Technical Advisory Group (TAG), 3 public open houses, and 3 Planning Commission meetings, City Council adopted a resolution directing staff to prepare plan and code amendments to implement the draft NMIA Framework Plan. The framework plan focuses on increasing employment density in the NMIA, providing amenities to serve employees, and accommodating office and industrial flex space.
The proposed amendment package that is now before the Council is intended to implement the plan, as well as streamline and simplify the zoning code. The proposed plan and code amendments are the result of a 2015 grant from the Metro Community Planning and Development Grant program, which funded the preparation of the NMIA Plan. The plan was also conducted in partnership with Clackamas County.
The NMIA Plan establishes a future land use framework that is intended to enhance economic opportunities and capitalize on the district’s strategic location to attract innovative and entrepreneurial businesses to create a strong regional center for next-generation traded sector employment and manufacturing as well as supporting commercial and service businesses. The vision for the area is to support and encourage existing and future businesses that provide family-wage jobs accessible by all modes of travel, and to respect the natural environment and incorporate sustainable design to reduce demand on citywide infrastructure. This includes improving access to the area for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles and fostering a mix of industrial, commercial, and office uses with supportive residential uses in focused locations.
The project was led by staff, assisted by grant-funded land use and design consultants MIG, ECONorthwest, DKS Engineering, and Puttman Infrastructure. The project was overseen by a 19-member volunteer PAG that included representatives from City Council, Planning Commission, neighborhood associations, and state and regional agencies as well as business and property owners and a 14-member TAG made up of representatives from City departments, Clackamas County, Oregon Department of Transportation, Metro, TriMet, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, Portland General Electric, and City of Portland.
A. North Milwaukie Industrial Area – Project Area The NMIA is a major local and regional asset for manufacturing, transportation and jobs. It is one of the city’s 3 major industrial centers with a long history of industrial use and excellent access to the regional transportation network. With nearly 200 acres and 65 businesses, the area employs approximately 1,800 workers. A majority of land uses in the NMIA are currently industrial (57 percent) with various types of manufacturing, distribution, storage and similar uses.1 The project area also includes multiple publicly owned parcels including the Oregon Liquor Control Commission offices, a TriMet park-and-ride, the Clackamas County Community Corrections Center and Women’s Center and the vacant Oregon Department of Transportation offices and adjacent outdoor storage.
B. Planning Process The Project Management Team comprised of City and County staff began meeting early in 2016 to handle the IGA development, finalize the scope of work, and develop a request for proposal (RFP) process. In June 2016, MIG was selected as the project consultant and the full Project Team held a kick-off meeting in July and the Advisory Groups held a kick-off meeting and tour in August. Public outreach included:
• 6 Advisory Group Meetings – A list of Advisory Group member organizations and
meeting summaries can be found on the project website at www.northmilwaukie.com
under Stakeholders.

RS45
Page 3 of 15 – Staff Report
• 1 Online Survey – Approximately 90 participants, distributed citywide:
o When asked about barriers to getting in and around the NMIA, responses were
mixed with some indicating confusing streets as well as some that don’t really
experience any barriers.
o When asked how they see the NMIA today, responses included big parking lots,
light/advanced manufacturing center, heavy truck traffic/transportation hub, and
shipping oriented.
o When asked how they describe their vision of the NMIA in the next five to 10 years,
responses were consistent in describing a light/advanced manufacturing center.
Descriptions included a vision of the area as an innovative and high employment
area with small business oriented/incubator space.
o When asked whether they agree or disagree if specific actions are needed in the
NMIA, adding more places for people to work and eat/restaurants and improving
connections across McLoughlin Blvd were high. Adding more places for people to
live and adding more parking for employees and visitors were low.
• 3 Public Open Houses – Open House summaries can be found on the project website
at www.northmilwaukie.com under Events & Meetings. Approximately 90 attendees
participated in the three Open Houses.
• Multiple Planning Commission and City Council Meetings
C. North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan and Tacoma Station Area Plan The NMIA Plan builds on and incorporates much of the Tacoma Station Area Plan (TSAP) adopted in 2013 prior to the construction of the Tacoma Light Rail Station and MAX Orange line. The draft NMIA Plan being presented to the Council as part of this amendment package includes some remaining elements from the TSAP that were not specifically addressed during the NMIA Plan process. By incorporating these elements the city can repeal the TSAP and its associated documents so that there is a single plan for this area. The general changes to the NMIA Plan adopted by City Council in July 2017 are outlined as follows:
• Inclusion of remaining TSAP items
• Additional items from the planning process not included or properly referenced in the
first draft
• List of additional amendments provided as Exhibit D.1.
The NMIA Plan informs the City's policies for the area, which in turn informs, and is implemented by, regulations. The plan document incorporates the direction and feedback received at 6 PAG and TAG meetings, 3 public meetings, a community survey, and stakeholder/developer focus group meetings.
A summary of the key concepts from the draft Plan is provided below to provide an outline
for the Council’s review and discussion:
1. Ecodistrict Framework (Chapter 3)
• Incorporate and enhance Johnson Creek as a natural amenity
• Enhance the stormwater system through a variety of means to improve water
quality
• Improve McBrod Ave and integrate green street features
RS46
Page 4 of 15 – Staff Report
• Incorporate solar energy systems
• Develop greywater systems to reduce impacts on water supply and wastewater
treatment facilities
• Create a Transportation Management Association to manage parking and transit
access
• Create a NMIA brand
2. Transportation (Chapter 4)
• Improve circulation and wayfinding at the Ochoco St and Milport Rd intersections
with McLoughlin Blvd
• Extend the public ROW for an extension of Mailwell Dr from the MAX line to
Crystal Lake Dr and design the road to restrict large trucks from entering the
adjacent neighborhoods
• Reconfigure the street network at Moores St/Ochoco St/23rd Ave
• Provide a road connection over Johnson Creek at SE 24th Ave
• Develop a parking management plan, including shared on-street facilities
• As redevelopment occurs, create a local street network to support a more
walkable development pattern
• Maintain efficient freight access
• Improve bike and pedestrian connections throughout the district
3. Land Use (Chapter 5)
• Consolidate the M-TSA Subareas 1, 2, and 3 into one MUTSA Zone
• Create a new NME Zone that includes areas currently zoned M-Manufacturing
and M-TSA Subarea 4. Allow a wider range of office and employment uses in the
new zone
• Prohibit residential use and limit retail and service uses in the NME Zone.
Continue to allow warehouse and distribution uses
• Increase maximum building height to 65 feet within the NME zone, require a
minimum building height of 25 ft, and provide height bonuses within the MUTSA to
up to 90 ft
• Encourage active street frontages along key streets such as McBrod Ave and
other key gateways
4. Infrastructure (Chapter 6)
• Retrofit sites with regional or district level stormwater and green streets
• Incorporate renewable energy
• Allow for easy access to fiber and high-speed internet
5. Implementation Matrix (Chapter 7)
• Short- and long-term actions are identified along with a proposed timeframe,
estimated costs, potential funding sources, and the responsible
agency/department.
D. Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments The Comprehensive Plan is the policy document which implements the vision for and guides the physical development of the City. Several amendments to the Comprehensive
RS47
Page 5 of 15 – Staff Report
Plan are necessary to: formalize the area identified as the North Milwaukie Industrial Area; adopt the NMIA Plan as an ancillary document to the plan; repeal the TSAP; and incorporate recommendations of the NMIA Plan into the Transportation System Plan (TSP). Please refer to Figure 1 for the identified North Milwaukie Industrial Area.
Comprehensive Plan
The proposed amendments change existing policies that refer to the Tacoma Station area as it relates to the TSAP. A new objective is proposed in Chapter 4 – Economic Base and Industrial/Commercial Land Use Element– Objective #17– North Milwaukie Industrial Area. This new objective adopts and implements the NMIA Plan. The text amendments also delete references to the TSAP and Tacoma Station Area and replace them with references to the NMIA where appropriate. Amendments are also proposed for 2 comprehensive plan maps: an amendment to Map 8 Land Use to revise the boundary of the Tacoma Station Area and a new Map 10 identifying the North Milwaukie Industrial Area (see Figure 1). See Attachment 1 for the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan in underline/strikeout format. Transportation System Plan
The Transportation System Plan (TSP) is the City's long-term plan for transportation improvements and includes policies and projects that could be implemented through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), private development, or grant funding. It is the guiding policy document for long-term transportation planning and represents the City's goals and policies while outlining and prioritizing proposed improvements for pedestrian, bicycle, public transit, motor vehicle, and freight systems; downtown parking; and neighborhood traffic management.
The NMIA Plan includes several implementation strategies to improve circulation in the NMIA, including vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle connectivity. In order to move these strategies forward, the projects must also be included in the TSP. The proposed projects will be added to the overall list of projects, but will not be prioritized at this point. See Attachment 1 for the proposed amendments to the TSP.
E. Summary of Code Amendments The proposed amendments are detailed, but the key changes are summarized here: (Please refer to Exhibit G for draft language):
• Reduce the total number of zones in the NMIA from 5 to 2
o Combine the Manufacturing Zone and Tacoma Station Area Overlay Zone Subarea
4 areas into a new North Milwaukie Employment (NME) Zone
o Combine Tacoma Station Area Overlay Zone Subareas 1-3 into a single new
Tacoma Station Area Mixed-Use Zone (MUTSA)
• Delete the Tacoma Station Area Overlay Zone
• Propose code language that is organized in a way that is more consistent with the
Commercial Mixed-Use Zones
RS48
Page 6 of 15 – Staff Report
Proposed Zones The proposed amendments implement the NMIA Plan in a way that also simplifies the zoning code to reduce confusion. The subject area is made up of the following zones and overlays:
• Tacoma Station Area Manufacturing Zone (M-TSA)
• Manufacturing Zone (M)
• Tacoma Station Area Overlay Zone (TSA) – Subareas 1-4
The proposal removes the M-TSA and Manufacturing M zones in the subject area and replace them with 2 new zones: the Tacoma Station Area Mixed Use Zone (MUTSA) and the North Milwaukie Employment Zone (NME) (See Figure 1).
Figure 1 Current and Proposed Zoning
RS49
Page 7 of 15 – Staff Report
The proposed MUTSA would be made up of 3 subareas: M-TSA Subareas 1, 2, and 3. The proposed NME would be made up of M-TSA Subarea 4 and the areas currently zoned M in the subject area. The proposal eliminates MMC 19.406, the Tacoma Station Area Overlay Zone and combines the allowed uses and specific development and design standards of the overlay into the base zone. This removes the TSA overlay and addresses each base zone completely, rather than requiring referrals to another code section, which simplifies the code and makes it easier to use and understand. Further, by combining M-TSA Subareas 1, 2, and 3 into the single MUTSA, the code will apply consistently to the entire zone, rather than 3 separate areas that currently have minor differences between them.
The proposal re-organizes the existing M-TSA code language to be consistent with MMC 19.302 Commercial Mixed Use Zones and MMC 19.304 Downtown Mixed Use Zone, specifically including a table of uses with standards and additional provisions. The proposal streamlines the code language into a more readable format and provides a table of uses that addresses both proposed new zones and includes whether the uses are permitted outright, as limited uses, or prohibited. The table of uses is organized by major categories of uses: Residential; Commercial; Industrial, Manufacturing and Production; Community Service Use; and Marijuana Businesses. Specific standards for limited uses are detailed in one section, rather than being split between the current base and overlay zones. This simplifies the code and
Figure 2 Proposed zoning reflecting the Milport Mixed Use Overlay as recommended by Planning Commission
Milport Mixed Use Overlay (MMU) – Planning Commission proposal During the NMIA Plan process, there was extensive discussion about the area around McBrod Ave, Milport Rd, and McLoughlin Blvd because the area is subject to floodplain and natural resource constraints and construction within this area may be limited. As presented to Council at the January 16 worksession, the Planning Commission recommended approval of code language that includes a mixed-use overlay that would apply to properties in the southwest corner of the NME zone (see Figure 2). The Commission directed staff to prepare language for an overlay zone that would sunset in 10 years. This proposed overlay has been included in the package of proposed amendments as an option for Council consideration during the public hearing.
RS50
Page 8 of 15 – Staff Report
does not require reference to both the base zone and overlay zones to determine what uses would be permitted on a particular property.
The MUTSA and NME zones are intended to function differently, given the proximity of the MUTSA to the Tacoma light rail station and because the NME already contains a significant amount of existing industrial manufacturing development. The MUTSA zone allows some commercial and residential uses as well as intensive employment uses. The NME zone permits existing industry, but also increases the type and extent of employment uses
The MUTSA zone is intended to take advantage of its unique location near the Tacoma light rail station and provide opportunities for a wide range of uses. The primary uses in this zone include housing, limited commercial and service-related office use, high intensity office employment, and industrial uses including uses involved in production, manufacturing and processing of goods.
The NME zone is intended to support the goals and policies of the NMIA Plan and retain the area as a viable industrial and employment zone. The primary uses in the zone are intended to be uses involved in production, manufacturing, processing, and transportation of goods, as well as uses providing opportunities for higher intensity employment such as production-related office, laboratories, and research and development uses. Service-related office and commercial uses are intended to be incidental uses that are minor in relation to the industrial uses on a site and should be subordinate and accessory to the industrial uses in the zone.
Generally, the allowed uses are consistent with the existing M-TSA and M zones in the subject area, but are updated to reflect the goals and objectives of the NMIA Plan and the purpose statements for the MUTSA and NME zones. For example, office uses are proposed to be permitted in the NME without a corresponding manufacturing use, as is currently required. An additional example is that, reflecting concerns expressed by a current business owner, existing waste management uses are grandfathered, and would not be subject to Conditional Use review as required by the proposed code.
Design and Development Standards The proposed code language includes a table summarizing the development standards that apply to the MUTSA and the NME zones. This streamlines the code by identifying the standards in a table rather than in narrative text that currently exists in the current base and overlay zones.
The proposal includes additional details regarding specific standards that apply to uses in the MUTSA and NME zones, including landscaping, screening, and design standards. This section streamlines the code by combining standards currently found in both the base M-TSA zone and the TSA Overlay Zone with some revisions to reflect potential retrofit of existing buildings and new construction in the future. Staff has proposed deviations from the existing code to reflect the planned future of the NMIA while balancing the more likely retrofit of existing buildings that will occur in the immediate future. The proposal streamlines the code by incorporating the overlay zone standards in the base zone rather than requiring an additional applicable set of standards.
The proposed design and development standards can drive the new building form in the NMIA and set up the future of the area. One of the goals of the NMIA is to promote high quality construction and design in both the mixed use and industrial areas. The proposal identifies basic design standards, including building materials, minimum percentage of glass on street-facing walls, and weather protection requirements. This promotes a base level of architectural design and construction, and helps create a more comfortable pedestrian environment.
The MUTSA and NME are both part of the same overall mixed industrial-commercial area, but development in these zones could be quite different, particularly in scale. An objective of the proposed amendments is to regulate design to ensure that new development and major renovations meet minimum design standards, but that minor modifications and improvements to existing buildings does not place an undue burden on business operations and expansions.
RS51
Page 9 of 15 – Staff Report
Key Streets The proposed amendments tie the standards to key streets in the NMIA to require development that is more focused on pedestrian amenities along those streets. The current M-TSA zone applies these standards in the northeast portion of the district and to development along Main St (Figure 3). The proposed MUTSA code also proposes pedestrian oriented development standards along key streets but revises some of the standards, including exterior building materials, to be more consistent with the General Mixed Use Zone and the Flex Space Overlay standards found in Central Milwaukie.
The MUTSA proposal includes standards for flexible ground-floor space (taller ceilings) that would apply to new development and to applicable redevelopment on the street-facing facades along the key streets (see Figure 4). Staff notes that if the Milport Mixed Use Overlay is adopted, then the key street provisions should apply to the south side of Milport Rd to the west of McLoughlin Blvd.
Because the MUTSA zone is intended to promote a mix of uses that includes commercial, industrial, and residential, the pedestrian experience is critical and design standards are intended to support that objective. However, the NME zone likely will continue to function as a predominantly industrial area. Pedestrian safety along public streets is necessary, but we should consider to what extent pedestrian-oriented design standards should be imposed for buildings that utilize loading docks and a high level of truck traffic. The proposal recognizes that certain streets should be designed to accommodate these truck-dependent warehouse uses.

Key Issues and Questions 1. Should the NMIA include the Milport Mixed Use Overlay, thereby allowing residential uses in
the southwest portion of the district?
a. The Mill End Store, as a standalone retail use, is a non-conforming use in the Manufacturing zone. Should this use (a retail bulky fabric and textile sales use) be permitted outright in the NME in its current location?
2. Are there any questions or concerns about the proposed NMIA Plan?
3. Are there any questions or concerns about the revisions to the Comprehensive Plan or Transportation System Plan, including compliance with Goal 12 – Transportation?
4. Are there any questions or concerns about the proposed changes to the Tacoma Station Area?
5. Should there be a different list of permitted industrial uses in the MUTSA? Light industrial vs heavy industrial?
6. Should there be a different minimum building height standard?
RS53

Analysis 1. Should the NMIA include the Milport Mixed Use Overlay, thereby allowing residential
uses in a larger portion of the district? Figure 1 identifies the proposed zoning for the NMIA as directed by the City Council in July 2017. The MUTSA district is intended to take advantage of its unique location near the Tacoma light rail station and provide opportunities for a wide range of uses. The primary uses in this zone include housing, limited commercial and service-related office use, high intensity office employment, and industrial uses including uses involved in production, manufacturing and processing, of goods. Conversely, the primary uses in the NME zone are intended to be uses involved in production, manufacturing, processing, and transportation of goods, as well as uses providing opportunities for higher intensity employment such as production-related office, laboratories, and research and development uses. Service-related office and commercial uses are intended to be incidental uses that are minor in relation to the industrial uses on a site and should be subordinate and accessory to the industrial uses in the zone.
During the NMIA Plan process, there was extensive discussion about the area around McBrod Ave, Milport Rd, and McLoughlin Blvd because the area is subject to floodplain and natural resource constraints and construction within this area may be limited. On May 9, 2017, staff held a worksession with City Council for guidance on allowing additional residential in the southwest portion of the NMIA. The worksession was scheduled after staff heard from a property owner located in the M (Manufacturing) Base Zone who wanted more flexibility to allow residential use. Council provided direction to the NMIA project management team to focus employment uses in this area and not allow additional residential use.
Council’s policy direction was based on several factors:
A. Only 18.4 percent of the city is zoned for industrial/employment use. Approximately 75 percent of the city is currently zoned residential with 12.3 percent of that zoned medium and high density residential; this does not include residential uses allowed in mixed use zones. The NMIA is one of three employment districts that, in total, provide more than 12,300 jobs, and is critical to the jobs/housing balance.
B. A secondary reason for separating residential uses from the traditional manufacturing and warehouse/distribution use was concern about encroachment issues associated with residential adjacency to heavier manufacturing uses.
C. Through the year-long NMIA planning and outreach process, the recommendation pointed to limiting residential to where it is currently allowed in the north portion of the district in proximity to Tacoma Light Rail Transit Station.
At the June 27, 2017 public hearing, the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the NMIA Framework Plan include an M-TSA (now proposed as MUTSA) overlay without standalone multi-family residential with a 10-year sunset for the area bounded by Milport Rd, McLoughlin Blvd, and 17th Ave. The reasons for this recommendation were in response to testimony regarding construction limitations of the floodplain and a consideration for transportation connections and proximity of the area to downtown.
At the July 18, 2017 City Council public hearing, Council voted to adopt the NMIA Plan maintaining the NMIA (now proposed as NME) Zone throughout the entire southern portion of the district without the recommendation from Planning Commission for an overlay including residential. Council was interested in the reasons for Planning Commission’s recommendation but based their decision on the following: public input received during the planning process in public workshops about not allowing additional housing, compatibility of residential surrounded by industrial, 75 percent of the city is currently zoned residential with additional units in the pipeline, the primary goal of the plan was to protect jobs, competition with downtown, and how additional residential use would impact transportation. It was also
RS54
Page 12 of 15 – Staff Report
mentioned that all the reasons mentioned for why the southwest quadrant was good for residential would also be good reasons for maintaining employment land for office users.
Throughout the Planning Commission review process, testimony was provided in support of the mixed-use overlay, and the existing retail development. Testimony was provided by property owners, downtown business owners, and other interested parties. No one testified in opposition to the mixed-use overlay. Staff conducted outreach to stakeholders and property owners to discuss the overlay code language as well as the implications of the floodplain in the area. The proposed MMU Overlay code language is a product of this outreach and the testimony provided. The proposed overlay provides specific language allowing an existing non-conforming development to rebuild. Per MMC 19.800, non-conforming development may be rebuilt if destroyed by natural causes, such as a flood, but the proposed overlay allows the property owner to initiate rebuilding without destruction due to natural causes.
The Planning Commission’s recommendation to include the overlay was based on the following information and conclusions:
• There are significant economic impacts of redevelopment due to the Johnson Creek floodplain. Coupled with the low achievable rents of industrial space, residential development can make redevelopment economically feasible.
• Proximity of the proposed area to the downtown, existing residential areas, and the 17th Ave bikepath, warrant a wider range of uses, including residential. Also, Johnson Creek, while a development constraint, is also an amenity which could be particularly advantageous for mixed use development.
• The proposed overlay reflects the geography and specific circumstances of the area and is not a policy statement to allow residential development throughout the NMIA. The Commission believes that a limited opportunity for redevelopment of potentially catalytic development in this area is warranted, and it does not remove critical employment land from the City.
The Mill End Store, as a standalone retail use, is a non-conforming use in the Manufacturing zone. Should the use (a retail bulky fabric and textile sales use) be permitted outright in the NME in its current location? Testimony was provided at the Planning Commission hearings about the importance of the Mill End Store in Milwaukie. It has been described as a unique retail destination as well as an important employer.
The proposed code provides specific language allowing an existing non-conforming development to rebuild in the Milport Mixed Use Overlay. Per MMC 19.800, non-conforming development may be rebuilt if destroyed by natural causes, such as a flood, but the proposed overlay allows the property owner to initiate rebuilding without destruction due to natural causes. This question relates to adding language to the NMIA which would list bulky fabric stores and retail textile (the Mill End Store) as permitted uses in the NME, thereby allowing it to rebuild in the future in its current location up to its current size whether or not the mixed-use overlay exists.
2. Are there any questions or concerns about the proposed NMIA Plan? The Council did not direct staff to provide any alternative approaches to the policies contained in the NMIA Plan. Does the Council support the vision and key components of the NMIA?
3. Are there any questions or concerns about the revisions to the Comprehensive Plan or Transportation System Plan, including compliance with Goal 12 – Transportation? The Council is being asked if they concur with these essential elements, or whether changes or additional elements should be considered for inclusion. Specifically, does the
RS55
Page 13 of 15 – Staff Report
Council concur with the proposed improvements for vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian connectivity as proposed in the Transportation System Plan amendments?
A trip generation analysis was prepared as part of the NMIA Plan process. The purpose of the analysis, using a reasonable worst-case development scenario, was to determine whether further traffic impact evaluation would be required based on the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) 660-012-0060. The analysis was based on buildable acreage and an assumption of land uses and FAR. The analysis took into account that a portion of the area is a Station Area. Based on the proposed development requirements, there are changes to the reasonable worst-case development assumptions, including a reduction in office use and an increase in industrial use. This resulted in a reduction of peak hour trips between existing and proposed zoning requirements and no net increase in trip generation. The analysis concluded that no further TPR analysis is necessary and is not proposed.
4. Are there any questions or concerns about the proposed changes to the Tacoma Station Area? The existing Tacoma Station Area as identified on Map 8 of the Comprehensive Plan, shares the boundary of the entire M-TSA zone. However, much of this area is well outside the typical ½-mile radius from the Tacoma light rail station. Staff proposes to revise this boundary to only include properties within ½-mile of the station (see Figures 5 and 6).
Figure 5 Comprehensive Plan - Existing Map 8 - Land Use
RS56
Page 14 of 15 – Staff Report
Figure 6 Comprehensive Plan - Proposed Map 10 - Tacoma Station Area
5. Should there be a different list of permitted industrial uses in the MUTSA? Light industrial vs heavy industrial? At the January 16 worksession, Council expressed concern about the mix of uses permitted in the proposed MUTSA. In particular, there was concern about heavy industrial uses being allowed in an area that also permits residential and commercial uses. A suggestion was made that perhaps an alternative list of permitted industrial and manufacturing uses specific to the MUTSA would be appropriate, which would prohibit heavy industrial uses.
The proposed code includes language in various sections that address this concern:
• In the MUTSA purpose statement, staff has added language that describes the intent of light manufacturing uses in the MUTSA and the general expectation that external impacts will be minimized.
• Footnote #1 associated with residential development, includes language requiring that a declaration of use be signed and recorded which is to serve as notice that the residential development is located within a zone that permits and encourages industrial uses.
• Manufacturing, Production, and Service and Repair uses are identified as Limited Uses in the MUTSA. Associate language prohibits certain uses in the MUTSA, such as fuel oil distributors, solid fuel yards, and manufacturing of such products as chemicals, paints, adhesives, steel, aluminum, and nonferrous metal.
• A detailed development standard has been added to residential development, requiring that new residential development that is adjacent to existing industrial uses install visual screening where adjacent to loading docks, truck delivery areas, and other potentially conflicting areas.
6. Should there be a different minimum building height standard? The proposed code language includes a minimum building height of 25 ft. It has been suggested that this minimum should be taller, effectively requiring multi-story development, including industrial development, in the NMIA. Staff does not recommend a taller minimum height as it creates a disincentive for new industrial development in the NMIA. Further, the
RS57
Page 15 of 15 – Staff Report
development feasibility analysis prepared by ECONorthwest indicated that multi-story industrial development would not be feasible.
Staff also notes that the Downtown Mixed Use Zone requires a minimum building height of 25 ft and the General Mixed Use Zone does not have a minimum building height. For comparison, staff notes that Portland does not require a minimum building height in the employment and industrial zones.
BUDGET IMPACTS The amendments are not expected to significantly alter the cost of administering the code. In fact, they are intended to simplify the process by providing more clarity.
WORKLOAD IMPACTS The amendments are expected to simplify and thereby potentially reduce some of the work load of the Planning Department for administration of the code.
COORDINATION, CONCURRENCE, OR DISSENT The Planning Commission held 2 work sessions and 3 public hearings to discuss the amendments and staff also met with the Design and Landmarks Committee to discuss the proposed design standards. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval to City Council at the January 9, 2018 public hearing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the NMIA Plan and code amendment package.
ALTERNATIVES Alternatives for City Council include: A. Adopt the Plan with all recommendations from Planning Commission. B. Adopt the Plan with all recommendations from Planning Commission and modifications
based on comments received to date. C. Adopt the Plan with all recommendations from Planning Commission with modifications to
the way the southwestern quadrant is addressed: 1. No residential
2. Modified overlay
3. Other
D. Suggest additional editorial changes to the Plan.

7. MMC 19.902.3 establishes requirements for amendments to the text of the Milwaukie
Comprehensive Plan. The City Council finds that these requirements have been met as follows.
a. MMC Subsection 19.902.3.A requires that changes to the text of the Milwaukie Comprehensive Plan shall be evaluated through a Type V review per Section 19.1008.
The Planning Commission held duly advertised public hearings on November 28 and December 12, 2017 and January 9, 2018. The City Council held a duly advertised public hearing on February 6, 2018. Public notice was provided in accordance with MMC Subsection 19.1008.3.
b. MMC Subsection 19.902.3.B contains approval criteria for changes to the text of the Milwaukie Comprehensive Plan.
(1) MMC Subsection 19.902.3.B.1 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, as proposed to be amended.
The goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and its ancillary documents support the development of the NMIA as a strong regional center for next-generation traded sector employment and manufacturing as well as supporting commercial and service businesses:
(a) The Goal Statement of the Economic Base and Industrial/Commercial Land Use Element reads as follows:
To continue to support and encourage the development of a broad industrial base in the City, and to encourage the expansion of service facilities in the community.
(b) Objective #6 – Industrial Land Use states:
To encourage new industries to locate within the three major industrial areas of the City, in order to take maximum advantage of existing access and public facilities serving industry.
The proposed amendments adopt the North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan, an ancillary document of the Comprehensive Plan, that builds on the 2013 Tacoma Station Area Plan, establishes a vision for this critical employment area, and identifies projects that will implement the vision for the NMIA.
(2) MMC Subsection 19.902.3.B.2 requires that the proposed amendment is in the public interest with regard to neighborhood or community conditions.
The proposed amendments reflect the community’s desire for policies and regulations that encourage high-quality, attractive development while respecting the surrounding residential neighborhoods in central Milwaukie.
(3) MMC Subsection 19.902.3.B.3 requires the public need be best satisfied by this particular proposed amendment.
The proposed amendments confirm the community's vision for the development of the NMIA as a strong regional center for next-generation traded sector employment and manufacturing as well as supporting commercial and service businesses. Only 18.4 percent of the city is zoned for

industrial/employment use. A need exists for the proposed amendment given that several sites in the NMIA are under-developed. The proposed amendments include language to encourage redevelopment that will provide both employment and services to residents of the city.
(4) MMC Subsection 19.902.3.B.4 requires that the proposed amendment is consistent with the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan and relevant regional policies.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan and relevant regional policies related to residential and employment capacity.
Title 4 seeks to provide and protect sites for employment by limiting the type and scale of non-industrial uses in Employment Areas. A portion of the proposed MUTSA and NME are identified as Employment Areas. The proposed amendments limit the size of commercial and retail uses to meet the goal that those uses are intended to serve the needs of businesses, employees, and residents in the NMIA, which is consistent with Title 4.
The city has identified a Tacoma Station Area for the purpose of Title 6, which calls for actions and investments by communities to enhance the role of station communities as centers of urban life. Title 6 includes requirements that the development code reduce barriers to mixed-use and transit-supportive development. The proposed amendments specifically allow residential and mixed-use development and associated service uses, as well as require design standards geared toward the pedestrian environment, in the proposed MUTSA zone which is within the proposed Tacoma Station area.
The proposed amendments were sent to Metro for comment. Metro did not identify any inconsistencies with the Metro Urban Grown Management Functional Plan or relevant regional policies. Metro provided comment that the code amendments are in compliance with Metro’s Functional Growth Management Plan and are in accordance with the changes reviewed and recommended by the NMIA Stakeholder Advisory Group.
(5) MMC Subsection 19.902.3.B.5 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with relevant State statutes and administrative rules, including the Statewide Planning Goals and Transportation Planning Rule.
A trip generation analysis was prepared as part of the NMIA Plan process (see Attachment 1: Trip Generation Scenario Analysis Memorandum dated August 30, 2017). The purpose of the analysis, using a reasonable worst-case development scenario, was to determine whether further traffic impact evaluation would be required based on the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) 660-012-0060. The analysis was based on buildable acreage and an assumption of land uses and FAR. The analysis took into account that a portion of the area is a Station Area. Based on the proposed development requirements, there are changes to the reasonable worst-case development assumptions, including a reduction in office use and an increase in industrial use. This resulted in a reduction of peak hour trips between existing and proposed zoning requirements and no net increase in trip generation. Therefore, no further TPR analysis is required.

The proposed amendments coordinate and are consistent with other provisions of the Milwaukie Municipal Code.
(b) MMC Subsection 19.902.5.B.2 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Current Comprehensive Plan goals and policies strongly support the development of the NMIA as a strong regional center for next-generation traded sector employment and manufacturing as well as supporting commercial and service businesses.
The Goal Statement of the Economic Base and Industrial/Commercial Land Use Element reads as follows:
To continue to support and encourage the development of a broad industrial base in the City, and to encourage the expansion of service facilities in the community.
Objective #6 – Industrial Land Use states:
To encourage new industries to locate within the three major industrial areas of the City, in order to take maximum advantage of existing access and public facilities serving industry.

Recommended Findings in Support of Approval (Part 1) North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan Amendments Page 6 of 8 Master File #ZA-2017-003; CPA-2017-002 January 29, 2018
• Strengthen existing design standards to ensure that redevelopment and new development is appropriate, attractive and activates the pedestrian realm in key areas.
• Expand permitted uses in the proposed North Milwaukie Employment Zone (NME) to allow some office and service-related uses that will support industrial and manufacturing uses.
• The proposed amendments adopt the North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan, an ancillary document of the Comprehensive Plan, that builds on the 2013 Tacoma Station Area Plan, establishes a vision for this critical employment area, and identifies projects that will implement the vision for the NMIA.
(c) MMC Subsection 19.902.5.B.3 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan and relevant regional policies.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan and relevant regional policies related to residential and employment capacity.

(d) MMC Subsection 19.902.5.B.4 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with relevant State statutes and administrative rules, including the Statewide Planning Goals and Transportation Planning Rule.
The proposed amendments were sent to the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) for comment. The DLCD did not identify any areas where the proposed amendments were inconsistent with State statutes and administrative rules.
(e) MMC Subsection 19.902.5.B.5 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with relevant federal regulations.
The City Council finds that the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 is relevant to the proposed amendments. The proposed amendments retain the current choice between clear and objective review and discretionary review of new multifamily development in the proposed Tacoma Station Area Mixed Use Zone (MUTSA).
b. MMC 19.902.6 establishes requirements for amendments to the Zoning Map. The City Council finds that these requirements have been met as follows.
(1) MMC Subsection 19.902.6.A states that changes to the Zoning Map shall be evaluated through either a Type III or a Type V review.
The Zoning Map amendments involve approximately 133 properties and 200 acres. The amendments are legislative in nature and subject to Type V review.
The Planning Commission held duly advertised public hearings on November 28 and December 12, 2017 and January 9, 2018. The City Council held a duly advertised public hearing on February 6, 2018. Public notice was provided in accordance with MMC Subsection 19.1008.3.

(2) MMC Subsection 19.902.6.B contains approval criteria for changes to the
Zoning Map.
(a) The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding area based on the following factors:
i. Site location and character of the area.
The North Milwaukie Industrial Area zones (NME and MUTSA) are industrial in nature and include industrial and manufacturing development, vacant developable properties, publicly-owned properties, and multi-tenant flex space development. The proposed amendments would retain and enhance the industrial character of the area, define the station area as a mixed-use zone, and add some commercial and service uses to the NME.
ii. Predominant land use pattern and density of the area.
The predominant land use pattern of the NMIA is a combination of small and larger parcels developed with smaller commercial buildings and large manufacturing and distribution facilities. The NMIA is intended to be a next generation industrial activity hub for the City. The proposed amendments would continue the predominant land use pattern and density of the area.
iii. Expected changes in the development pattern for the area.
Given its proximity, the development pattern for the area is expected to intensify with the completion of the downtown and Tacoma light rail stations. The interest in and overall lack of industrial land in the city suggests that development in the area will intensify. The proposed amendments align with the expected development pattern for the area.
(b) The need is demonstrated for uses allowed by the proposed amendment.
The proposed amendments retain the existing NMIA uses and streamline and encourage additional uses that are desired by the community, such as employment uses and mixed-use development near the Tacoma light rail station. There is a lack of industrial land in the city and a need exists for the proposed amendment to encourage redevelopment and new investment in the area. The proposed amendments include language to encourage redevelopment of opportunity sites that will provide both services and employment to residents of the city.
(c) The availability is shown of suitable alternative areas with the same or similar zoning designation.
Staff has interpreted this criterion to mean that the finding shall show that there is no suitable alternative area with the same or similar zoning designation.
The most suitable area in Milwaukie for the application of the proposed MUTSA and NME zones is the NMIA. The area is already zoned Manufacturing and Tacoma Station Area Manufacturing, allowing for a variety of industries to locate near each other as well as to highways and
RS67
Recommended Findings in Support of Approval (Part 1) North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan Amendments Page 8 of 8 Master File #ZA-2017-003; CPA-2017-002 January 29, 2018
freight rail. The Tacoma light rail station area is already zoned for mixed use development, which the MUTSA zone will mimic.
(d) The subject property and adjacent properties presently have adequate public transportation facilities, public utilities, and services to support the use(s) allowed by the proposed amendment, or such facilities, utilities, and services are proposed or required as a condition of approval for the proposed amendment.
The public transportation facilities, public utilities, and services in the NMIA are adequate to support the proposed amendments. The subject properties are already being used for, or are zoned for, industrial and employment purposes, and some commercial and residential uses close to the Tacoma light rail station. The proposed land use mix, and a reasonable worst-case analysis, indicate an increase in industrial land use and a decrease in office use. When balanced against the possible construction of residential uses in the MUTSA close to the Tacoma light rail station, the net effect is a slight reduction in vehicle trips in the NMIA. The proposed amendments would not increase the demand on the facilities, utilities, or services in the area. The application was referred to the City Engineering and Building departments for review and no service-related issues were identified.
(e) The proposed amendment is consistent with the functional classification, capacity, and level of service of the transportation system. A transportation impact study may be required subject to the provisions of Chapter 19.700.
The proposed amendment does not intensify the development potential of the NMIA. The proposed land use mix, and a reasonable worst-case analysis, indicate an increase in industrial land use and a decrease in office use. When balanced against the possible construction of residential uses and a higher assumed FAR in the MUTSA close to the Tacoma light rail station, the net effect is a slight reduction in vehicle trips in the overall NMIA.
(f) The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, including the Land Use Map.
The subject area is designated Industrial. The goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan for Industrial areas are that these areas are reserved for manufacturing, industrial, distribution and supporting land uses so that there is adequate opportunity for uses with high employment density. One objective is to encourage new industries to locate within the industrial areas to take advantage of existing facilities. The proposed amendment is consistent with those goals and policies.
(g) The proposed amendment is consistent with the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan and relevant regional policies.
See Finding 8.a.(1)(c) above.
(h) The proposed amendment is consistent with relevant State statutes and administrative rules, including the Statewide Planning Goals and Transportation Planning Rule.
See Finding 8.a.(1)(d) above.

The proposed Milport Mixed Use Overlay Zone provides additional flexibility in the NME by providing opportunities for mixed-use residential development, but in recognition of the overall employment focus in the district, standalone residential development is prohibited. The overlay provisions sunset after 10 years and apply to less than fifteen percent of the total area of the NMIA, to ensure that the majority of the NMIA remains an employment-focused area. The proposed overlay zone allows the existing large format retail to continue to operate but prohibits additional retail over 20,000 sq ft in size. Further, the overlay permits industrial and manufacturing uses, so the expectation is that the area will continue to provide employment uses rather than only commercial or residential development.
The city has identified a Tacoma Station Area for the purpose of Title 6, which calls for actions and investments by communities to enhance the role of station communities as centers of urban life. Title 6 includes requirements that the development code reduce barriers to mixed-use and transit-supportive development. The proposed amendments specifically allow residential and mixed-use development and associated service uses, as well as require design standards geared toward the pedestrian environment, in the proposed MUTSA zone which is within the proposed Tacoma Station area.
The proposed amendments were sent to Metro for comment. Metro did not identify any inconsistencies with the Metro Urban Grown Management Functional Plan or relevant regional policies. Metro provided comment that the code amendments are in compliance with Metro’s Functional Growth Management Plan and are in accordance with the changes reviewed and recommended by the NMIA Stakeholder Advisory Group.
(5) MMC Subsection 19.902.3.B.5 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with relevant State statutes and administrative rules, including the Statewide Planning Goals and Transportation Planning Rule.

A trip generation analysis was prepared as part of the NMIA Plan process (see Attachment 1: Trip Generation Scenario Analysis Memorandum dated August 30, 2017). The purpose of the analysis, using a reasonable worst-case development scenario, was to determine whether further traffic impact evaluation would be required based on the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) 660-012-0060. The analysis was based on buildable acreage and an assumption of land uses and FAR. The analysis took into account that a portion of the area is a Station Area. Based on the proposed development requirements, there are changes to the reasonable worst-case development assumptions, including a reduction in office use and an increase in industrial use. This resulted in a reduction of peak hour trips between existing and proposed zoning requirements and no net increase in trip generation. Therefore, no further TPR analysis is required.
The proposed amendments were sent to the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) for comment. The DLCD did not identify any areas where the proposed amendments were inconsistent with State statutes and administrative rules.
8. MMC 19.902.5 establishes requirements for amendments to the text of the zoning ordinance. The City Council finds that these requirements have been met as follows.
a. MMC Subsection 19.902.5.A requires that changes to the text of the land use regulations of the Milwaukie Municipal Code shall be evaluated through a Type V review per Section 19.1008.
The Planning Commission held duly advertised public hearings on November 28 and December 12, 2017 and January 9, 2018. The City Council held a duly advertised public hearing on February 6, 2018. Public notice was provided in accordance with MMC Subsection 19.1008.3.
(1) MMC Subsection 19.902.5.B establishes the approval criteria for changes to land use regulations of the Milwaukie Municipal Code.
(a) MMC Subsection 19.905.B.1 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with other provisions of the Milwaukie Municipal Code.
The proposed amendments coordinate and are consistent with other provisions of the Milwaukie Municipal Code.
(b) MMC Subsection 19.902.5.B.2 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Current Comprehensive Plan goals and policies strongly support the development of the NMIA as a strong regional center for next-generation traded sector employment and manufacturing as well as supporting commercial and service businesses.
The Goal Statement of the Economic Base and Industrial/Commercial Land Use Element reads as follows:
To continue to support and encourage the development of a broad industrial base in the City, and to encourage the expansion of service facilities in the community.

Objective #6 – Industrial Land Use states:
To encourage new industries to locate within the three major industrial areas of the City, in order to take maximum advantage of existing access and public facilities serving industry.
The proposed amendments:
• Promote high-quality, urban design in the North Milwaukie Industrial Area
• Strengthens existing development standards to ensure that extensive redevelopment and new development is appropriate in scale and encourages investment.
• Strengthen existing design standards to ensure that redevelopment and new development is appropriate, attractive and activates the pedestrian realm in key areas.
• Expand permitted uses in the proposed North Milwaukie Employment Zone (NME) to allow some office and service-related uses that will support industrial and manufacturing uses.
• The proposed amendments adopt the North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan, an ancillary document of the Comprehensive Plan, that builds on the 2013 Tacoma Station Area Plan, establishes a vision for this critical employment area, and identifies projects that will implement the vision for the NMIA.
(c) MMC Subsection 19.902.5.B.3 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan and relevant regional policies.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan and relevant regional policies related to residential and employment capacity. The proposed amendments were sent to Metro for comment. Metro did not identify any inconsistencies with the Metro Urban Grown Management Functional Plan or relevant regional policies.
(d) MMC Subsection 19.902.5.B.4 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with relevant State statutes and administrative rules, including the Statewide Planning Goals and Transportation Planning Rule.
The proposed amendments were sent to the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) for comment. The DLCD did not identify any areas where the proposed amendments were inconsistent with State statutes and administrative rules.
(e) MMC Subsection 19.902.5.B.5 requires that the proposed amendment be consistent with relevant federal regulations.
The City Council finds that the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 is relevant to the proposed amendments. The proposed amendments retain the current choice between clear and objective review and
RS74
Recommended Findings in Support of Approval (Part 2) North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan Amendments Page 7 of 9 Master File #ZA-2017-003; CPA-2017-002 January 29, 2018
discretionary review of new multifamily development in the proposed Tacoma Station Area Mixed Use Zone (MUTSA).
b. MMC 19.902.6 establishes requirements for amendments to the Zoning Map. The City Council finds that these requirements have been met as follows.
(1) MMC Subsection 19.902.6.A states that changes to the Zoning Map shall be evaluated through either a Type III or a Type V review.
The Zoning Map amendments involve approximately 133 properties and 200 acres. The amendments are legislative in nature and subject to Type V review.
The Planning Commission held duly advertised public hearings on November 28 and December 12, 2017 and January 9, 2018. The City Council held a duly advertised public hearing on February 6, 2018. Public notice was provided in accordance with MMC Subsection 19.1008.3.
(2) MMC Subsection 19.902.6.B contains approval criteria for changes to the Zoning Map.
(a) The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding area based on the following factors:
i. Site location and character of the area.
The North Milwaukie Industrial Area zones (NME and MUTSA) are industrial in nature and include industrial and manufacturing development, vacant developable properties, publicly-owned properties, and multi-tenant flex space development. The proposed amendments would retain and enhance the industrial character of the area, define the station area as a mixed-use zone, and add some commercial and service uses to the NME.
ii. Predominant land use pattern and density of the area.
The predominant land use pattern of the NMIA is a combination of small and larger parcels developed with smaller commercial buildings and large manufacturing and distribution facilities. The NMIA is intended to be a next generation industrial activity hub for the City. The proposed amendments would continue the predominant land use pattern and density of the area.
iii. Expected changes in the development pattern for the area.
Given its proximity, the development pattern for the area is expected to intensify with the completion of the downtown and Tacoma light rail stations. The interest in and overall lack of industrial land in the city suggests that development in the area will intensify. The proposed amendments align with the expected development pattern for the area.
(b) The need is demonstrated for uses allowed by the proposed amendment.
The proposed amendments retain the existing NMIA uses and streamline and encourage additional uses that are desired by the community, such as employment uses and mixed-use development near the Tacoma light rail station. There is a lack of industrial land in the city and a need exists for the proposed amendment to encourage redevelopment and new investment in
RS75
Recommended Findings in Support of Approval (Part 2) North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan Amendments Page 8 of 9 Master File #ZA-2017-003; CPA-2017-002 January 29, 2018
the area. The proposed amendments include language to encourage redevelopment of opportunity sites that will provide both services and employment to residents of the city.
(c) The availability is shown of suitable alternative areas with the same or similar zoning designation.
Staff has interpreted this criterion to mean that the finding shall show that there is no suitable alternative area with the same or similar zoning designation.
The most suitable area in Milwaukie for the application of the proposed MUTSA and NME zones is the NMIA. The area is already zoned Manufacturing and Tacoma Station Area Manufacturing, allowing for a variety of industries to locate near each other as well as to highways and freight rail. The Tacoma light rail station area is already zoned for mixed use development, which the MUTSA zone will mimic.
(d) The subject property and adjacent properties presently have adequate public transportation facilities, public utilities, and services to support the use(s) allowed by the proposed amendment, or such facilities, utilities, and services are proposed or required as a condition of approval for the proposed amendment.
The public transportation facilities, public utilities, and services in the NMIA are adequate to support the proposed amendments. The subject properties are already being used for, or are zoned for, industrial and employment purposes, and some commercial and residential uses close to the Tacoma light rail station. The proposed land use mix, and a reasonable worst-case analysis, indicate an increase in industrial land use and a decrease in office use. When balanced against the possible construction of residential uses in the MUTSA close to the Tacoma light rail station, the net effect is a slight reduction in vehicle trips in the NMIA. The proposed amendments would not increase the demand on the facilities, utilities, or services in the area. The application was referred to the City Engineering and Building departments for review and no service-related issues were identified.
(e) The proposed amendment is consistent with the functional classification, capacity, and level of service of the transportation system. A transportation impact study may be required subject to the provisions of Chapter 19.700.
The proposed amendment does not intensify the development potential of the NMIA. The proposed land use mix, and a reasonable worst-case analysis, indicate an increase in industrial land use and a decrease in office use. When balanced against the possible construction of residential uses and a higher assumed FAR in the MUTSA close to the Tacoma light rail station, the net effect is a slight reduction in vehicle trips in the overall NMIA.
(f) The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, including the Land Use Map.
The subject area is designated Industrial. The goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan for Industrial areas are that these areas are reserved for manufacturing, industrial, distribution and supporting land uses so that
RS76
Recommended Findings in Support of Approval (Part 2) North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan Amendments Page 9 of 9 Master File #ZA-2017-003; CPA-2017-002 January 29, 2018
there is adequate opportunity for uses with high employment density. One objective is to encourage new industries to locate within the industrial areas to take advantage of existing facilities. The proposed amendment is consistent with those goals and policies.
(g) The proposed amendment is consistent with the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan and relevant regional policies.
See Finding 8.a.(1)(c) above.
(h) The proposed amendment is consistent with relevant State statutes and administrative rules, including the Statewide Planning Goals and Transportation Planning Rule.
See Finding 8.a.(1)(d) above.

Today, the City of Milwaukie sits on the cusp of unprecedented new development and new pressures. To address this dynamic opportunity, the City has undertaken several projects focused on how it retains its individualism, while moving forward in a planned and focused way.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The North Milwaukie Industrial Area (NMIA) is one of three industrially zoned areas in Milwaukie that is experiencing high demand for space and is an important location for the region’s food processing industry cluster, warehousing and distribution functions, and incubator for future entrepreneurs. Building on this energy and these opportunities can create new activity and increased employment for the region.
The City, in partnership with Clackamas County and Metro, created this plan to understand how the NMIA is currently functioning as an employment hub and how to support and help guide its growth and evolution as a 21st century innovation district that meets the needs of diverse employment options over the next 20 years.

• Integrate McLoughlin Boulevardas both a transportation huband gateway opportunityinto Milwaukie that supportsemployment growth in the NMIA;
• Develop an identity and brandfor the NMIA that supports thedistrict;
• Incorporate existingdevelopment, infrastructureand transportation systems,identifying expansion ormodification of those systems,as needed, to attract the nextgeneration of employers; and
• Identify phasing, funding andprioritization of projects toimplement the vision.
The City, with the help from its partners, will treat this plan as a living document and work to move the needle toward achieving the vision.
The North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan (the Plan) is focused on:
• Increasing job density for the area;
• Providing much neededcommercial amenities to serveemployees; and
• Accommodating office andindustrial flex space forMilwaukie’s broader community’sgrowing and changing population.
The City is proud of the NMIA’s history, providing jobs that match the city’s demographic: blue collar work done by the hard-working men and women residing in and around the city. However, the city and region are changing with demographic shifts, a strengthening business market, and a diminishing number of commercial and industrial properties to provide the space and services that entrepreneurs seek.
The Plan builds upon the work of the Tacoma Station Area Plan that recommended improved multimodal connections and a greater mix of land uses that take advantage of the Tacoma light rail station at the
north end of the NMIA. This Plan incorporates that planning area and adds areas west of McLoughlin Boulevard to create an entire district made up of 200 acres. Additionally, the Plan includes findings from the City’s recently completed economic opportunities analysis, guiding the economic feasibility analysis and recommendations for the Plan.
The Plan establishes a vision for how we get there, with specific implementation strategies that:
• Identify connections anddevelopment potential createdon both sides of McLoughlinBoulevard;
• Integrate the adopted TacomaStation Area Plan findings andprojects, as applicable;
• Identify and analyze sites that cancatalyze development within theNMIA;
• Capitalize on Johnson Creek asa character-defining amenity thatattracts new investment coveringa mix of uses;
VisionThe North Milwaukie Industrial Area capitalizes on the District’s strategic location to attract innovative and entrepreneurial businesses to create a strong regional center for next-generation traded sector employment, manufacturing, makers and doers. The area supports existing and future businesses that provide family-wage jobs accessible by all modes of travel, respects the natural environment and incorporates sustainable design to reduce demand on citywide infrastructure.

chapter 1: introduction
PURPOSE
The North Milwaukie Industrial Area Framework Plan (Plan) positions the North Milwaukie Industrial Area (NMIA) to leverage its strategic location and attractiveness as an employment center as well as an innovative, dynamic location for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
The Plan provides recommendations and strategies to increase employment opportunities and support existing businesses through in-depth technical analysis or land use, development feasibility, open space, transportation and infrastructure. The Plan is a long-term vision that identifies regulatory, programmatic and infrastructure investments and is anticipated to be implemented over the next 20 years.
The Plan builds upon the work completed through the Tacoma Station Area Plan recommendations to improve multimodal connections and create a mix of land uses that
take advantage of the Tacoma light rail station at the north end of the NMIA and the City’s current citywide visioning process. This project incorporates that planning area and adds areas west of McLoughlin Boulevard to create an entire district. Additionally, the City recently completed a citywide economic opportunities analysis, that has been incorporated into the Plan and guiding the economic feasibility analysis and recommendations for the Plan.
The Plan establishes a vision and a set of implementation strategies that:
• Identify connections and development potential for both sides of McLoughlin Boulevard;
• Integrate the adopted Tacoma Station Area Plan findings and projects, as applicable;
• Identify and analyze sites that can catalyze development within the NMIA;
• Capitalize on Johnson Creek as a character defining amenity that attracts new investments covering a mix of uses;
• Integrate McLoughlin Boulevard as both a transportation hub and gateway opportunity into Milwaukie that supports employment growth in the NMIA;
• Develop an identity and brand for the NMIA district;
• Incorporate existing development, infrastructure and transportation systems, identifying expansion or modification of those systems, as needed, to attract the next generation of employers; and
• Identify phasing, funding and prioritization of projects to implement the vision.

The Framework Plan includes an implementation strategy designed to help catalyze the NMIA’s vision, providing a general trajectory for the area for the next 20 years. This strategy will guide economic development programs and tools as well as branding of the district, in light of the area’s history as a traditional warehouse and distribution hub. It will also encourage catalytic opportunities, expanding upon the strengths as a key industrial district for Milwaukie and the region.
PROJECT AREA
The NMIA is centrally located in the region shown in Figure 1. It is one of the City of Milwaukie’s three major industrial centers. It has a long history of industrial uses with good access to the regional transportation network. The NMIA is a distinctive district with clearly defined political and physical boundaries (Figure 2):
• Portland City Limits to the north;
• 17th Avenue to the west;
• Highway 224 to the south;
• Union Pacific railroad and MAX Orange Line to the east; and
• Springwater bicycle and pedestrian corridor as an east-west connection.
McLoughlin Boulevard (OR 99E) and Johnson Creek are also major defining characteristics in the center of the area.

EXISTING LAND USES AND BUILDING STOCK
Most of the approximately 195 acres in the NMIA is used for industrial purposes (57 percent) with various types of manufacturing, distribution, storage and similar uses. Approximately one-third of all parcels are vacant (Table 1), although many are used by adjacent businesses for surface storage. Nine vacant parcels totaling 4.4 acres are rights-of-way, with Metro’s Springwater Trail accounting for 3.7 acres.
The project area also includes multiple publicly owned parcels, including the Oregon Liquor Control Commission offices, a TriMet park-and-ride and the Clackamas County Community Corrections Center and Women’s Center. Fronting the east side of McLoughlin Blvd., the now vacant ODOT offices sit adjacent to approximately eight acres of outdoor storage.
The NMIA currently contains around 3.4 million square feet of rentable commercial space, supporting approximately 9.5 employees per acre. Most of this rentable area is classified as industrial space, with the industrial subcategories of distribution and warehousing comprising over 80 percent of the total square footage. The remaining rentable area in the NMIA is classified as flex office/industrial, general office and general retail.

i n t r o d u c t i o n
As of 2014, there were 65 firms with 1,833 total employees within
the project area. According to Hoovers and ReferenceUSA, top
employers in the NMIA are Portland Mechanical Construction,
Alpine Food Distributing, Goodwill, PCC Structurals,
Stoner Electric, Advanced Entry Systems and the
Oregon Liquor Control Commission.
Area History, Parcels and Buildings
Over the last 100 years, the NMIA has developed as a warehousing and manufacturing district built around its easy access to heavy rail and McLoughlin Boulevard. Many of the buildings in the area retain rail spurs, some of which are used today, although most shipping is now done via truck and many of the rail spurs have been vacated.
The NMIA is generally composed of smaller parcels, shown in Figure 3. Most parcels (56 percent) are half an acre or smaller. Larger parcel sizes (sites over four acres) account for only 12 percent of the total parcels.
Some buildings in the NMIA are nearly 100 years old and have been continually repurposed. This includes the ODOT facility, a now vacant 1938 Works Progress Administration Project. The building initially housed State Highway Division engineers, support staff, and State Police for the Portland area. The building is eligible but not listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is listed as a historic local resource in Milwaukie.
Other buildings reflect different eras and types of development. Of the 54 buildings in the project area, nine were built between 1918-1949, 29 were built from 1950-1969 and the remaining 16 were built from 1970-1982. No buildings have been constructed since the 1990s although some buildings are transitioning from single large tenants to flex space uses, where a single building holds multiple tenants and often through short-term leases.

VISION
The future success of the NMIA depends on a shared long-term vision as a diverse employment area that is inspiring and supported by the community. This vision sets forth specific goals and objectives that lead to short and long-term actions.
The vision was created by the community after an open house, online survey, stakeholder interviews, and input from a project advisory group made up of businesses, community members, technical staff and area residents.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goals and objectives of the Plan guide future development and infrastructure improvements in the NMIA. In turn, these strategic decisions will ultimately serve to support and increase employment and economic opportunities in the district.
The following five goals and related objectives provide a comprehensive approach to achieve the envisioned future, providing implementable actions that can be completed as single projects or phased over time.
Chapter 7 presents specific actions to implement the goals and objectives.
Vision
The North Milwaukie Industrial Area capitalizes on the District’s strategic location to attract innovative and entrepreneurial businesses to create a strong regional center for next-generation traded sector employment, manufacturing, makers and doers. The area supports existing and future businesses that provides family-wage jobs accessible by all modes of travel, respects the natural environment and incorporates sustainable design to reduce demand on citywide infrastructure.

infrastructure development can attract new tenants who are looking to be in a forward-thinking ecodistrict but may be priced out of other locations. Developing the Plan through ecodistrict lenses also aligns future tenants with the current City trajectory of increased sustainable measurable action.
The ecodistrict framework for the NMIA is an incremental approach and different than ecodistricts developed on a greenfield (see Chapter 6: Infrastructure). Ecodistrict implementation must work with existing infrastructure and strategies need to encourage a transition over time. Creating an ecodistrict, even incrementally, will require a commitment from the City, land and building owners to make it happen.
There are many actions needed to implement an ecodistrict, either directly through projects (identified in this chapter) or indirectly through land use action, funding and financing support or other types of incentives.
The NMIA is an active employment center that takes advantage of its proximity to Portland, light rail and surrounding neighborhoods in Milwaukie and Clackamas County.
More recently, long time uses have shifted to include increasingly in-demand flex space, where current buildings are being converted from a single large use to multiple smaller uses that share facilities and equipment like forklifts or other machinery. This flexibility allows new businesses to start in small spaces and then expand as they grow with smaller overhead commitments. The challenge for the NMIA is that many similar areas around the region are also competing for similar tenants, so attracting both the makers and doers as well as traditional manufacturing requires a plan that differentiates it from other areas.
Given the NMIA’s proximity to South Waterfront and Central Eastside in Portland, a focus on sustainable design, attractions and innovative

• Complete a Johnson CreekCorridor Plan that identifiesboth water quality and physicalimprovements to the corridor.The focus should be on improvingwatershed health and stormwatermanagement from adjacent right-of-way and development (Action2.2.2).
• Identify partnership opportunities,including with the Johnson CreekWatershed Council, to identifyand develop grant applications tofund riparian area and stormwaterimprovements (Action 3.2.1).
• Improve access and viewingopportunities along JohnsonCreek by designing existing vacantland east of SE McBrod Avenuefor recreation. Add viewpointsat the existing bridge crossings(Action 3.2.2).
ADDRESSING INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS
Industry is about efficiency and reducing the cost to run a business, to make products and deliver services. The NMIA ecodistrict can create a competitive advantage compared to competing districts by identifying and implementing efficient energy, water and stormwater systems to help reduce operating costs. While some of these recommendations may add complexity to building design, short-term costs for sustainable systems
INTEGRATING NATURAL RESOURCES
The NMIA is both natural and urban. The NMIA ecodistrict should demonstrate the benefits of this human/nature connection by reconnecting with Johnson Creek as a functioning natural resource as well as a recreation attraction. Success will require collaboration between City, local and state agencies and non-profits, such as the Johnson Creek Watershed Council. There are several actions needed to transform Johnson Creek from what it is today to become a district amenity:
RS109
can often pay off over time as reduced operating costs over the life of the project.
Energy
Creating a district energy system can be challenging to successfully implement, even incrementally, where there is already existing infrastructure and development. District energy systems are often created in new development or through a phased development plan where the district energy system is designed along with the buildings.
However, there may be opportunities to incorporate solar energy. The large roof areas of the industrial businesses may provide opportunity for solar panels. Portland General Electric provides power to the project area and the State of Oregon’s net metering program is an option for customers to get credit for excess energy produced at their facility. Solar and other energy conservation measures can be implemented over time as buildings are redeveloped or building owners choose to install systems. The large number of existing buildings may be able to support some solar installations for building owners who may be interested, but the age of the roof, weight bearing capacity and the impact of drilling many holes into a roof to anchor a solar project need to be considered. Another factor to consider is shading. As the
area develops, new taller buildings might create shading on existing single story buildings and that would decrease the amount of energy that solar panels produce. With those considerations, the ecodistrict can implement solar energy project through the following actions:
• Assist existing businesses in applying for renewable energy grants, using the NMIA District Coordinator position (Action 1.1.3) as the point person to aid in applying for grant funding for solar energy (Action 2.4.3).
• Integrate renewable energy consumption and production goals for energy into a future Climate Action Plan (Action 2.4.1).
• Retrofit existing streetlights with LED lighting to reduce energy consumption (Action 2.4.2).
Sewer and Water Infrastructure
Based on the existing conditions analysis and mapping completed for the NMIA and proposed zoning densities, no significant infrastructure upgrades are anticipated other than projects already identified in existing capital improvement programs. Additionally, installation of new sewer and water infrastructure requires reconstructing existing roadways, but this infrastructure may remain unused for many years before new development occurs.
A more cost-effective approach is to focus on incentivizing building retrofits to reduce water usage and install greywater recycling systems either when extensive remodeling is completed or new buildings are constructed. Greywater is safe for use in toilets, for irrigation and other facilities where it is not consumed. Water and wastewater implementing actions for the ecodistrict include:
• Update existing building standards to encourage all new buildings or significant remodels to double plumb buildings for greywater recirculation and install fixtures with low-flow and other water saving devices (Action 2.2.5).
• Provide incentives for existing businesses to replace existing plumbing with low flow and/or greywater recirculation systems (Action 2.2.6).
The existing wastewater trunk line is located at the southwestern end of the NMIA. There may be an opportunity to create a “sewer mining district” (Action 2.2.8) that connects to the sewer trunk line to reduce wastewater flow to the City’s main treatment system. A sewer mining system extracts sewage directly from the sewer, treats it to produce recycled water and then discharges residual wastes back to the sewer. The recycled water

provide funding options such as public/private partnerships and fee-in-lieu approaches.
• Assist in identifying fundingsources to retrofit existingbuildings with green/eco roofs.Through updated designstandards, encourage all newbuildings to integrate greenstormwater infrastructure intothe building and/or site design(Action 2.2.7).
• Address regional and onsiteand/or regional detention forstormwater to reduce untreatedrunoff from entering JohnsonCreek. This should includegreen street and streetscapeenhancements to address floodingand enhance key gateways, usingthe stormwater managementsystem also as a branding elementfor the district (Objective 2.5).
• Partner with ODOT to developa green street demonstrationproject for McLoughlin Boulevardbetween Downtown Milwaukieand the Springwater CorridorPedestrian Bridge (Action 2.2.1).This project can showcase thespecific ecodistrict approaches,improve the attractiveness ofthe corridor and create a visualdemarcation of the districtthrough stormwater managementand design.
can then be piped back to existing buildings for use in a greywater system. The most likely location for installing this type of system is the western side of McLoughlin Boulevard, where greywater circulation systems could be installed when SE McBrod is reconstructed or located on the shoulder without affecting the existing right-of-way. As buildings are redeveloped or remodeled, they would be connected to the greywater system.
Stormwater
Perhaps one of the biggest opportunities to create a sustainable, visually distinctive district is to address stormwater management on site and within the public right-of-way. There are several actions that will be required, from short-term planning actions to long-term district wide solutions. These include:
• Develop a stormwater master plan(Action 2.2.4) that identifies bothshort and long-term actions tomanage stormwater for the NMIA.This should include short-termactions that are property-focusedand can be implementedimmediately, particularly adjacentto Johnson Creek. The Plan shouldalso identify locations and sizingfor one or more regional facilitieson the west side of McLoughlinBoulevard; explore an integratedstreet/shared facility approach and

• Redesign SE McBrod Avenueas a demonstration project thatintegrates green street/sharedstormwater facility approachesto treat both right-of-way andadjacent development (Action2.2.3). Treating adjacentdevelopment in the street asopposed to on site may spurdevelopment because it reducesthe cost to developers to developor redevelop property to modernstormwater standards. If thisaction is undertaken, it shouldbe combined with stormwaterreduction techniques such as ecoroofs (Action 2.2.7) to reducestormwater flows entering thestreet.
Making Transportation Work for Everyone
Transportation connections must be safe, convenient and efficient for all modes of travel. Additionally, providing usable multimodal connections helps reduce the carbon footprint of vehicles and ties directly to a future citywide Climate Action Plan. As a branded district that focuses on sustainable development, providing multiple options for people to get to work and for businesses to receive materials and ship products is essential. Today, the NMIA is dominated by vehicles and is not a safe environment for people
to ride their bikes to work or walk to transit. If they do drive, parking can be challenging. Creating a more connected environment will require several actions:
• Develop and implement a parkingmanagement plan that addressesseveral issues, including parkingmanagement and transportationdemand strategies that permitcentralized parking in specificlocations and/or offeringflexible parking options for newconstruction to locate parkingon-site or through a districtparking program (Action 1.10.3).
• Create a TransportationManagement Association (TMA)that manages parking, transitand non-automobile circulation(Action 1.10.1). Potential roles forthe TMA could include creatingand managing an incentiveprogram that provides free orreduced cost bus passes for NMIAemployees and/or commuterincentives for those walking,carpooling or riding bicycles towork (Action 1.10.5). The TMAcould also act as the lead forcreating and managing a localcirculator system that connectsshared parking locations withemployers and DowntownMilwaukie (Action 1.10.4).
• Implement recommendationsfrom the Tacoma Station AreaPlan that address improvedvehicle, bicycle and pedestrianconnectivity between the Tacomalight rail station and DowntownMilwaukie (Action 4.1.3).
• Partner with ODOT to extend/improve bicycle and pedestrianconnections throughoutthe NMIA, including acrossMcLoughlin Boulevard, andconnecting to the Tacoma light railstation, Downtown Milwaukie andSellwood (Actions 4.3.1- 4.3.4).
• Integrate the NMIA BusinessAssociation recommendation(Action 1.1.1) and the Cityeconomic developmentcoordinator for the NMIA(Action 1.1.3) as part of the TMAmanagement structure.
RS112
CREATING A NMIA BRAND
Many people drive through the NMIA and know it only as that space “in between Portland and Downtown Milwaukie.” While it is an in-demand area, attracting new businesses and development will require a branding strategy to increase the visibility of and competitiveness of the area. Creating a district brand will require several actions, including:
• Build local energy within theNMIA and City through thecreation of a NMIA BusinessAssociation that will advocate forthe needs of existing and futurebusinesses (Action 1.1.1), andhire or assign a City economicdevelopment coordinator for theNMIA to be the single point ofcontact for all business activity inthe district (Action 1.1.3).
• Develop a wayfinding andbranding strategy that buildsupon the historic industrial, railand natural resources of theNMIA (e.g. the ODOT building,Johnson Creek and water tower)and focuses on businesses thatencourage transit use, pedestrianand bicycling as modes of travel(Actions 1.2.1).
• Visually demarcate the NMIAthrough gateway elements andwayfinding signage that identifiesthe area as a unique districtidentifiable from McLoughlinBoulevard and identifies pathsfrom the NMIA to the Tacomalight rail station, DowntownMilwaukie and Sellwood (Action1.2.1).
Together, these strategies form the basis of an implementation strategy to make the ecodistrict more visible. The branding strategy should also be organized in a manner that facilitates its use for marketing to attract future businesses.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Creating an ecodistrict will take time, but several of the initial actions can be implemented easily now, with more focused design and construction of major infrastructure occurring later as the district evolves and funding is identified. Creating a place, at least initially, is as much about branding, business engagement and recruitment as it is about the projects that create the infrastructure to achieve the vision of a sustainable, employment- focused district.

The NMIA’s access to transportation routes like McLoughlin Boulevard and the heavy rail system has made it a desirable business location for many years. The transportation infrastructure recommendations support the vision for the NMIA, calling for better connectivity within the district, to Downtown Milwaukie and to the adjacent neighborhoods.
The future street network for NMIA builds on previous planning efforts. Street types for the Plan are consistent with the Tacoma Station Area Plan (TSAP) project list which improves vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian connectivity in the NMIA.
The existing NMIA transportation network works for vehicles and freight, but lacks sufficient sidewalks and bike facilities. Additionally, there are a few connections for pedestrians either because there are no sidewalks or the long block lengths make it difficult to navigate by foot.
Key elements of the future system are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 7 and include:
• McLoughlin BoulevardSafety Improvements: Safetyimprovements include creatingsafer and more efficienttransportation connections forall modes across McLoughlinBoulevard in the NMIA, includingmaintaining freight access tobusinesses. The SE MilportRoad and SE Ochoco Streetintersections at McLoughlinBoulevard should be designedto permit better multimodalmovements (including freight) andincrease pedestrian safety andaccessibility for businesses alongFrontage Drive and Main Street.
• Maximum block lengths:Establishing a maximum blocklength standard for future streetswill identify potential areas whereroads can be located when newdevelopment occurs. All newroads should have sidewalks.Future block length standards are600-1,200 feet for the proposedNMIA district and 300-530 feet forTSA 1, TSA 2, and TSA 3.
chapter 4: transportation
RS114
Wheel stops provide physical separation for pedestrians and delineate the travel way.
In the interim, streets can be re-channelized between existing curbs to begin the behavior change process as the City anticipates future roadways built out to the specifications. For example, Dexter Street, Seattle WA (before-after pictures above) include paint to delineate and channelize narrowed travel lanes in addition to bus stop bulb-outs and buffered bike lanes.

Collector Streets
• Ochoco Street: Ochoco Street’srole in the NMIA will evolveto serve a variety of land uses.Ochoco Street is currentlyclassified in the TransportationSystem Plan (TSP) as part local andpart collector (at the McLoughlinBoulevard Blvd./99 E. intersection).Its future design should providemultimodal access.
The Tacoma Station Area Plan(TSAP) cross section for OchocoStreet (Figures 17 and 18, page26 in the TSAP) west and east ofMcLoughlin Boulevard generallydepicts the recommendationof this Plan, and requires 10’ ofadditional right-of-way to bededicated west of McLoughlinBoulevard. The TSAP notesminimum 8’ wide sidewalksare required along key streets,including Ochoco Street. Streettrees should have columnar formto prevent trucks from clippingtheir drip lines.
The Ochoco corridor is a gateway from the Sellwood neighborhood to the heart of the district. Johnson Creek is an important feature on the west side of the NMIA.
• Transitional Streets: Developinga transitional street designallows for low-cost, interimimprovements to addressexisting network deficienciesand complete connections forpeople traveling by foot orbike. Transitional streetscapeimprovements can enhancewalkability by providingcontinuous pedestrian accesswhile still providing vehiclemobility as the NMIA redevelops.Transitional street modificationscan also begin to engenderbehavior change amongstroadway users consistent withthe streetscape characteristicsplanned for full build out. Figure4 (Future Street Network) showsthe proposed transitional streetdesignation applied on fourstreets including SE McBrodAvenue and three other futurelocal street connections. Figures5 and 6 show how SE McBrodAvenue could change over timewith a transitional street approach.

Where Ochoco crosses Johnson Creek, viewing areas should be included at the bridge and green street design should incorporate, to the extent possible, native vegetation that is also appropriate to the riparian area along the creek.
• Main Street: The Plan maintainsthe TSAP cross section (Figures15 and 16, page 23 of the TSAP)for a separated 12’-14’ widemulti-use path all along MainStreet. In addition, the Planalso recommends an improvedpedestrian path under theSpringwater Trail at Main Street,connecting pedestrians andbicyclists to the LRT station. TheTSAP notes minimum 8’ widesidewalks along Main Streetwith special paving, wayfindingsignage and public art.

Local Industrial Streets
• Mailwell Drive: Cross sectionsfor Mailwell Drive (between MainStreet and the railroad track)include bicycle and pedestrianfacilities to establish directconnections for pedestrians andbicyclists between the project areaand the Ardenwald neighborhood.The Plan incorporates Figure 23 ofthe TSAP, which reconciles truckand pedestrian uses. The 12-14’multi-use path should designatebike and pedestrian-only zones tominimize potential conflicts.
Mailwell Drive is the only street in the NMIA that crosses the LRT line. Though it could offer opportunities for enhanced connectivity, it ends at a private road immediately east of the tracks. The private road (also known as Mailwell Drive) runs south through industrial loading sites in the southeast corner of the project area and subsequently ends under the Hwy. 224 overpass, where it connects with Crystal Lake Dr. The private section of street should be dedicated as a public right-of-way by extending Mailwell Drive to connect to Harrison Street via Crystal Lake Drive. The cross section for this street should be designed to restrict large trucks from entering adjacent neighborhoods.
• Stubb Street: The TSAP crosssection and recommendation(Figure 24, page 33 of theTSAP) for Stubb Street isincorporated into this Plan. Whenredevelopment opportunitiesarise for adjacent properties,continuous access for head-inparking should be replaced with a12’ travel lane, a 5’ sidewalk and4’ planting.

• Other streets: Other local streetswithin the project area vary inright-of-way width from 40’-60.’For streets that are not anticipatedto carry additional pedestrianload, the TSAP cross sectionsof 60’ (Figure 21, page 31 of theTSAP) are adequate. TSAP notesthat all sidewalks should be 8’wide and stormwater plantersshould also be at least 5’ wide tofunction as designed (preferablywider). These streets shouldmeet the desired intersectionspacing standards and maximumblock length recommendationsdescribed in Chapter 5: Land Use.
Transitional Street-Phasing
Creating a transitional street is one way to complete initial modifications that enhances mobility, particularly for pedestrians and bicyclists, but the cost of completely rebuilding the street is high.
Example
SE McBrod Avenue, which is essentially the recommended transitional street, has approximately 60’ right-of-way with an active rail spur. At present, cars and trucks park on-street in the right-of-way. Figure 5 illustrates what a transitional street might include. The City of Milwaukie is already planning on improving the roadway, which will address stormwater treatment for the rail line and add sidewalks to
the east side of McBrod. A future modification (Figure 6) should create an at-grade rail line to provide better access to the adjacent buildings, and incorporate stormwater, open space and riparian area improvements to Johnson Creek.
FUTURE BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
Figure 7 shows the non-motorized street network, which would provide better access to MAX, the Springwater Corridor, and areas within and outside the project area.
• Better east-west connectionsto the Tacoma LRT station:Future redevelopment of theNMIA should improve bike andpedestrian circulation to takebetter advantage of the TacomaLRT station by addressing thebarriers to reaching the stationand the challenging pedestrianenvironment along McLoughlinBoulevard and Ochoco Street.This includes adding bike lanesand signage along Ochoco Streetand an improved intersection atOchoco Street and McLoughlin forall modes of travel.
• Improved access to theSpringwater Corridor: ThePlan incorporates the TSAPrecommendations to create aseparated multi-use path.
This path will eliminate gaps in the pedestrian network to establish a seamless connection between the Springwater Corridor (as well as the Tacoma LRT station) and other parts of the NMIA, to separate bicycles and pedestrians from freight traffic along the roadway.
• Creating connections adjacent tothe project area as well as withinthe district: Better connectionsfor bikes and pedestrians from theArdenwald neighborhood (east ofproject area) at Mailwell Drive andOchoco Street/Roswell.
On the west side of the NMIA, a multi-use path is proposed along SE McBrod Avenue adjacent to Johnson Creek. This new path will make it possible for people traveling along the Springwater Corridor to access the lower reach of Johnson Creek, as well as tie into the 17th Avenue multi-use path that connects to Downtown Milwaukie.

TRANSIT ACCESS CONSIDERATIONS
TriMet bus routes 70 (along 17th Avenue) and 30, 34, and 99 (along Main St) serve the project area. The project area is also served by the Tacoma/Johnson Creek MAX Station, located north of the project boundary.
New smaller-scale, flexible industrial and incubator spaces (without accompanying residential) on both west and east sides of the project area will bring more workers to NMIA. While some NMIA employees will use personal vehicles, a portion of them will rely on transit to get to and from work. Improving connections to adjacent neighborhoods can provide nearby residents access to work, transit, and recreation. Additionally, the Plan recommends creating a transportation management association (TMA) to coordinate transportation and parking issues within the NMIA. The goal of the TMA is to reduce single occupancy vehicle use, support businesses in the NMIA, and coordinate and manage transportation and parking needs. Implementation of an NMIA parking management plan will further support this effort.

N O R T H M I L W A U K I E I N D U S T R I A L A R E A P L A N | 29
l a n d u s e
Creating an innovative and diverse business mix in the NMIA requires both a commitment to creating and implementing an economic development strategy, one of the recommended actions of the Plan, and adopting a land use regulatory system that is flexible.
The Land Use Framework balances new and existing uses, but also promotes higher density employment with recommended changes to permitted uses. Figure 8 illustrates the proposed land use zoning for the NMIA.
Recommended Land Uses
Table 3 summarizes the primary land uses envisioned for NMIA and indicates whether these uses are currently permitted as a primary use or as an accessory or conditional use. Recommended primary land uses include similar uses in today’s NMIA, as well as additional uses that are more flexible in creating employment uses.
The primary land uses in Table 3 will be translated into zoning and site design standards as part of the project implementation process, one of the first steps in implementing the Plan.
Primary land uses are the major land uses that implement the NMIA vision. Proposed zoning designations include combining the three existing Tacoma Station Area subareas (1, 2, and 3), and one new zone (NMIA). This reduces the number of zones within the NMIA to two districts. For existing zoning in the NMIA, refer to the Existing Conditions Report (Map 3: Zoning, page 10).

Design considerations within the TSA district include the following:
• 19.303.3 Development Standardsregarding commercial mixed-usezones
• Building heights: minimum of 25ft. and maximum of 65 ft., allowingfor multistory mixed use buildings
• Street frontage: developmentshould be oriented to the localstreet network where there arestrong pedestrian connections.
• Maximum block length: 300-530 feet
Desired Built Form
The NMIA (proposed) zone would permit existing industry, but also increase the type and extent of employment uses. Future design considerations should include the following:
• Emphasis on increasingemployment density withvaried uses and building types,potentially using incentives;
• Priority for flex space, lightmanufacturing (including makerspace), research & development(R&D);
• Building heights: minimum of25 ft. and maximum of 65 ft.Mixed use and vertical industrialpermitted;
• Street frontage: per standards inthe TSAP;
• Maximum block length: 600 to1,200 feet.; and
• Parking standards recommendedin the parking managementstrategy (To be completed).
Future streets and buildings should blend the physical design of buildings in relationship to the street front, and consider a range of factors such as density, public spaces and natural features, and green building design and development. Specific applications can include:
Tacoma Station Area Plan Zoning prescribed under the Tacoma Station Area Plan will be combined into one zoning district. The TSA district will continue to take advantage of the area’s strategic location near the Tacoma MAX Station, the Sellwood neighborhood, Johnson Creek and the Springwater Corridor. The general purpose of the TSA district is to still allow some commercial and residential uses as well as intensive employment uses.

l a n d u s e
• Activated Street fronts: Successful urban streetscapes attract people because they are active, exciting and safe. Elements such as blank walls and surface parking adjacent to sidewalks discourage street activity and erode the pedestrian realm. Active streetscapes should be encouraged by adopting design standards to ensure that buildings provide a safe and attractive edge to the pedestrian realm. This could include:
» Main building entrances should be located on the street (as opposed to a parking lot);
» New buildings should meet minimum transparency requirements for the building’s primary frontage. This can include glass doors and windows, transparent garage doors and other elements that reduce the monolithic features of large buildings (including warehouses);
» Require varied façade treatments to reduce the monolithic qualities of a building. Typical requirements found in mixed-use and employment areas require changes in building façade every forty feet;
» Building materials. While this is an employment district, tilt up
concrete construction should only be permitted if it can meet materials and transparency requirements described above. Raw concrete exteriors should be painted.
• Public Spaces and Natural Features: NMIA is well suited to build on unique and district-defining features to create an identity and brand. Existing water towers, historic machinery and rail materials, and Johnson Creek can all be used to better define the unique character of the area. These features should be enhanced, showcased and integrated into the design of new site amenities and public spaces, creating a common identity for NMIA.
• Reuse and Repurposing: Many of the buildings in the NMIA are very old (more than 50 years), but are well maintained and fully utilized. Older buildings can be creatively and adaptively reused as new office space, flex-space and small scale manufacturing. Sites such as the former ODOT building should be preserved and enhanced to protect the character of the NMIA. The Pendleton Woolen Mills adjacent to the Tacoma LRT station is a prime development opportunity.
• Green Design and Development: Green infrastructure includes
alternative energy sources, a healthy urban forest, on-site stormwater management such as green roofs, regional stormwater retention in planted areas, pervious paving, rain barrels and on-site detention tanks, and reuse of stormwater and greywater for irrigation, toilets and heat recovery. Energy consumption can be reduced by adaptively reusing existing buildings and requiring that all new construction and major remodels meet the goals of the greater NMIA as an ecodistrict.
• Restoration and Integration of Johnson Creek: Chapter 7 provides several actions to improve Johnson Creek, an important local and regional asset that provides a contrasting natural green space to the surrounding industrial lands within NMIA. New development along Johnson Creek should be oriented to the water, including building entrances and pedestrian areas. Other improvements could include stormwater infrastructure, native plant and tree restoration, public trail or interpretive sites and impervious surface reduction projects.

As the NMIA redevelops, there will be opportunities to upgrade and improve existing infrastructure systems and restore natural areas.
Specific strategies for stormwater management and district-level services will help support existing businesses as well as redefine the area as an ecodistrict (see Chapter 3: Ecodistrict Framework) and attractive environment for future development. Infrastructure improvements focus on implementable strategies that can be reasonably developed without significant changes to existing buildings, while still providing infrastructure to support future uses and construction that implements the sustainability goals of the Plan.
Retrofitting areas with more sustainable and resource reducing systems, such as greywater systems, can be challenging when an area is already highly developed. Incremental infrastructure improvements are more likely to occur. For the NMIA, a combination of building focused systems that can be developed at the individual site
level in combination with systems that are easier to create incrementally through public investment and development fees, such as regional or district level stormwater and green streets, are often more feasible and have greater branding and economic development potential.
Generally, existing infrastructure is located within existing rights-of-way. As new development occurs in the NMIA on existing vacant parcels or through redevelopment of existing buildings, water and sewer infrastructure would be extended from the existing system to serve new development. New public roads should include infrastructure to serve future development.

SEWER AND WATER
The 2010 Water System Master Plan states that there is generally capacity in the existing system for build out based on the current zoning. Upgrades to existing sewer and water lines are not assumed to be necessary under the proposed land use mix for this plan.
However, water saving features should be required in all new development to reduce water and sewer demand. Greywater systems should be encouraged (through incentives, such as reduced fees or rates) for new buildings.
The 2011 Wastewater Master Plan states that the system has capacity based on the existing zoning, although there are some failing or damaged pipes that need to be replaced within the NMIA. This would not necessarily limit redevelopment within the area.
There is an existing sewer main along SE McBrod Avenue that could provide an opportunity to treat wastewater and redistribute it back within the industrial area.
A membrane bioreactor (MBR) facility (sewer mine) would treat the water for non-potable uses such as irrigation or toilet flushing in new buildings or retrofitted existing buildings. Non-potable uses are distributed in a separate purple pipe system to differentiate from potable uses.

STORMWATER AND JOHNSON CREEK
According to the Department of Environmental Quality, Johnson Creek exceeds the total maximum daily loads for bacteria, temperature, mercury, PCBs, PAHs, DDE, DDT, and Dieldrin, which can originate from untreated stormwater entering Johnson Creek from adjacent areas. Reducing the amount of untreated stormwater can be a challenge if both on site and regional stormwater options are not considered.
Onsite stormwater systems can be challenging to develop, particularly on smaller sites where a high percentage of building coverage can limit stormwater retention and treatment options. An additional challenge is that any new development will trigger the current stormwater code that requires on site treatment. Regional stormwater treatment should be considered for the following reasons:
• Creating regional facilities represents a potential cost savings to individual development projects, insofar as the regional facility creates economies of scale.
• It is an opportunity (with one or more regional facilities) to treat multiple properties in a single facility. These can include detention ponds, bioswales or
similar facilities without needing redevelopment to occur to address the stormwater issue onsite.
• Regional stormwater is an opportunity to pursue grant funding through partnerships with other organizations interested in improving conditions along the Johnson Creek corridor, in conjunction with land use changes and infrastructure improvements including roads and natural areas.
• Developing a stormwater treatment project can improve the quality of Johnson Creek, benefiting existing businesses and helping to develop a brand for the area through the project outcome, catalyzing redevelopment along McBrod.
• Existing Johnson Creek riparian and stream buffers could be locations for low impact facilities to treat stormwater runoff and where the City could allow properties to mitigate for on-site stormwater off site in a regional facility.
Regional stormwater facilities may require a variance from the City’s “Design and Performance Criteria for Stormwater Detention and Water Quality Treatment Facilities Constructed on Private Property,” which states:
“Except as permitted by the Engineering Director, as provided by the Public Works Standards, on-site mitigation facilities shall be located on private property and shall not be located on property that will become a public right-of-way, public stormwater easement, or future street plan.”
The Johnson Creek Watershed Council has been working to promote stewardship and restoration of Johnson Creek. There are precedent examples where they have coordinated with businesses and property owners in the project area to restore and improve Johnson Creek and its associated riparian corridor. Working as a partner, the City can coordinate and partner with this group to identify additional restoration efforts that could both meet the needs of Johnson Creek and provide a positive impact to property owners and as a catalyst project for the NMIA.
Potential projects related to Johnson Creek include channel and buffer restoration and upstream stormwater quality improvements to reduce quantity of polluted runoff into the stream.

DISTRICT ENERGY
Creating a district energy system can be challenging to successfully implement, even incrementally, where there is already existing infrastructure and development. District energy systems are often created in new development or through a phased development plan where the district energy system is designed along with the buildings.
However, there are opportunities to incorporate renewable energy, specifically solar energy. The large roof areas of the industrial businesses may provide opportunity for solar panels. Portland General Electric provides power to the project area and individual properties and may provide buy back opportunities for excess energy produced in the district. Solar and other energy conservation measures can be implemented over time as buildings are redeveloped or building owners choose to install systems. The large number of existing buildings could support a significant amount or renewable energy.
FIBER AND HIGH SPEED INTERNET
Fiber and high speed internet (wired or wireless) are essential for future businesses, particularly those with a web presence or where large amounts of data are shared between offices. From a NMIA marketability standpoint, access to high speed internet is something that businesses expect. While some businesses might add their own service if there are other features of the NMIA that make it attractive and affordable, easy access to this infrastructure is a basic component of any modern employment area.

The Plan provides a framework for short- and long-term actions to implement the vision, goals, and objectives through specific actions that will be accomplished over the life of the Plan. Change happens slowly, and for dramatic long term change to happen, many factors will need to be addressed.
The Plan focuses on incremental actions and strategic policy initiatives such as zoning, forging key partnerships, and appropriate infrastructure investments scaled to the City’s limited resources. The NMIA will not change overnight, nor is the intent to force unwanted change on existing property owners. The aim is to strengthen the best aspects of the area, take advantage of opportunities as they arise, and gradually move towards the aspirations set forth in the vision and goals.
Understanding that the market can change at any time, the City wants to
be ready and poised for change in a strategic way that responds to the public feedback received through this process, and in a way that adequately contributes to a healthy jobs/housing balance for the City as whole, providing increased employment density and living wages for a variety of skills and education. In turn, this will allow the City to move toward the aspirations set by the vision and goals as market and opportunities allow.
PRIORITIZED IMPLEMENTATION MATRIX
This chapter identifies the specific action items necessary to implement the Plan with approximate timing and potential funding resources. Advancing the broad range of goals, strategies and projects included in the Plan will require the thoughtful and collaborative implementation of numerous specific actions. In some cases, regulatory actions may be the best ways to facilitate implementation. In other instances, public, private or public-private investment may be required. The City can also facilitate change directly through use of public property (existing or acquired)
chapter 7: interventions, prioritized actions and funding
and/or to help broker property transactions based on implementation strategies. As always, good working collaboration between the City, other public agencies and key stakeholders will be crucial, and where gaps in partnerships exist, the formation of new partnerships will be needed. Table 4 summarizes the prioritized plan recommendations.
This Implementation Plan will be used by the City throughout the life of the Plan and should be periodically reviewed and updated to reflect conditions as they change over time. Some funding sources, such as Local or Businesses Improvement Districts and Urban Renewal, will require additional analysis to determine if they are appropriate for the NMIA.

Below are four criteria for use when evaluating programs and tools to identify the most appropriate tool for each project. These criteria are focused on public investments and tools, but also provide a helpful framework for any funding mechanism.
1. Economic feasibility. This category covers everything related to creating and maintaining net revenues as efficiently as possible. Efficiency can be broken down into four subcategories: (1) revenue-generating capacity, (2) administrative costs, (3) revenue stability, and (4) revenue flexibility:
» Revenue-generating capacity considers how much money the source can generate.
» Administrative cost considers the portion of gross revenues that will be spent on administration. The easier it is to administer the tax or fee, the more of the gross revenue collected that will be available as net revenue for transportation projects and programs in the corridor.
» Revenue stability and predictability considers whether the source is likely to avoid large fluctuations each year and whether the source is likely to be close to the forecasts analysts might make.
FUNDING AND FINANCING
Encouraging new development and redevelopment of properties in the NMIA and improving infrastructure to meet the needs of new and existing users will require financial tools to fill feasibility gaps (especially in the near future when redevelopment is financially challenged), and capital funding programs to construct infrastructure projects. Filling these gaps and financing infrastructure could take several forms and come from several sources. Every community is different, and have difference assumptions, expectations, and capacities to support private development and fund public infrastructure projects.
This chapter contains a library of potential programs and tools that could be used by public and private stakeholders to support existing business, assist with new developments, and finance needed infrastructure. Some of these tools may not be attractive, feasible, or realistic for each private development or infrastructure project. Nevertheless, few areas that have undergone significant redevelopment have relied on a single source of funds or a single public financing tool. It is through the collaboration of multiple stakeholders working in partnership that successful area rejuvenation happens.
» Revenue flexibility considers limitations on the types of projects that can be funded with a given source. A funding source may be a little less useful to jurisdictions if its use is limited to certain types of projects.
» Return on investment. To justify the use of public funds, whether directly as part of a public-private partnership or indirectly in the form of infrastructure investment, the public funds should generate a considerably higher return over time. That is, for every public dollar of investment, the project generates several dollars or more of property tax revenues over time. Other measures, may be considered, such as jobs created or value of private investment.

2. Political acceptability. Will stakeholders accept or support the tool? Political acceptability considers whether elected officials and the public at large are likely to support the funding source. This depends to a large extent on the efficiency components described above: if a revenue source is legal, efficient, and fair, then it should get political support from the public, advisory groups, and decision makers. For this analysis, we evaluate whether a source is politically acceptable using two approaches: (1) is the source widely used elsewhere in Oregon? And (2) does the source collect revenue mostly from non-locals (as opposed to local residents)?
3. Fairness. In the context of infrastructure funding, the key question related to fairness is “who pays?” A standard definition of fairness in public finance, especially relating to transportation infrastructure, is that the charges that fund the infrastructure system are tied to the users who receive benefits from (or impose costs on) the system. Fairness may also be referred to as equity.
4. Legality. All the benefits of a funding source are moot if the source is not legal or cannot become legal within the desired timeframe. If the source is currently prohibited by State statute, then there is a very big administrative hurdle to be surmounted up front.
Using the above criteria identified a range of potential funding tools. The tools outlined below are grouped into the following funding categories:
• Local Financing – Development Driven
• Tax Abatements and Credits

1. URBAN RENEWAL / TAX INCREMENT FINANCE (TIF)
How It Works Tax increment finance revenues are generated by the increase in total assessed value in an urban renewal district from the time the district is first established. As property values increase in the district, the increase in total property taxes (i.e., city, county, school portions) is used to pay off the bonds. When the bonds are paid off the entire valuation is returned to the general property tax rolls. Urban renewal funds can be invested in the form of low interest loans and/or grants for a variety of capital investments:
» Redevelopment projects, such as public/private, mixed-use or infill housing developments.
» Economic development strategies, such as capital improvement loans for small or startup businesses which can be linked to family-wage jobs.
» Streetscape improvements, including new lighting, trees and sidewalks.
» Land assembly for public as well as private re-use.
» Transportation enhancements, including intersection improvements.
» Historic preservation projects.
» Parks and open spaces.
Fund Sources Local taxing jurisdictions’ permanent rate property taxes.
Benefits » Over the long term (most districts are established for a period of 20 or more years), the district could produce significant revenues for capital projects.
» TIF can be used to help pay for infrastructure improvements (including parking garages), and provide loans/grants for adaptive re-use and new development.
» Among the most flexible incentives.
» Option exists to have a single project-based TIF district
Drawbacks » Defers incremental property tax accumulation by the city and county until the urban renewal district expires or pays off bonds.
» Due to the sometimes slow or indirect nature of property tax growth in relation to targeted projects, urban renewal can often take five or more years to produce meaningful levels of revenue resulting in loss of project alignment.
» Complex process requires extensive public involvement and community support, especially from other taxing jurisdictions. The City would need to explore options with county officials and elected leadership, tracking legislative changes in urban renewal law, and meeting with adjacent jurisdictions and overlapping taxing entities.
» Use of urban renewal can be politically contentious because of its impact on funds available to overlapping taxing districts, and because of the perception that the school districts are adversely impacted.
» Investing over $750,000 in TIF directly into a new or rehab private project may trigger prevailing wage requirements, which can increase overall project costs by 10 – 20%.

2. LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (LID)
How It Works A special assessment district where property owners are assessed a fee to pay for capital improvements, such as streetscape enhancements, underground utilities, or shared open space. LIDs must be supported by most affected property owners.
Fund Sources LID bonds are backed by revenue committed by property owners (which can be public as well as private).
Benefits » Organizes property owners around a common goal.
» Allows property owners to make payments over time to bring about improvements quickly that benefit them individually.
» Improvements within smaller areas can enhance catalytic and redevelopment value of the area.
» LIDs can be bundled with other resources such as TIF.
Drawbacks » Setting up fair LID payments for various property owners, who are located different distances from the improvement, is challenging.
» Some lenders insist that LIDs be paid off when properties are transferred.
» Small geographic areas may not have sufficient LID revenues to support bonds for the desired improvement.
3. ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (EID) / BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA (BID)
How It Works An EID is a funding mechanism designed to enable a community to fulfill its commercial revitalization goals and plans; and is established as an assessment to property owners for use in promoting and improving the defined business district. A BID is a funding mechanism designed to enable a community to fulfill its commercial revitalization goals and plans; and is established as an assessment (surcharge on business licenses) to business owners for use in promoting and improving the defined business district
Fund Sources EID (property owners), BID (Business Owners)
Benefits » Flexible source of funding that organizes property owners around a common goal.
» Allows property owners to make payments over time to bring about improvements quickly that benefit them individually.
» Improvements within smaller areas can enhance catalytic and redevelopment value of the area.
» Like LID’s, can be bundled with other resources such as TIF.
» A BID can be renewed indefinitely, but an EID has a term limit of 5 years.
Drawbacks » Can be disestablished with property or business owner petition.
» Does not fund capital improvements.

4. MICROENTERPRISE AND SMALL BUSINESS LOANS
How It Works Direct loans to help start-ups, micro-enterprises and small businesses expand or become established.
Fund Sources Urban Renewal (capital projects only), CDBG
Benefits » Targeted to support small businesses and start-ups
» Can be tailored to support local economic development strategies
Drawbacks » Requires careful underwriting and program administration to reduce public sector risk
5. TENANT IMPROVEMENT GRANTS/LOANS
How It Works Assist property owners and new business owners with tenant improvements to the interiors of commercial spaces. Used for office and industrial assistance in addition to retail.
Fund Sources Urban Renewal and CDBG loans or grants, tax exempt revenue bonds.
Benefits » Reduces costs of tenant improvements
Drawbacks » Often tied to job goals
» In some cases, prevailing wage would apply
6. SDC FINANCING OR CREDITS
How It Works SDC financing enables developers to stretch their SDC payment over time, thereby reducing upfront costs. Jurisdictions may opt to subordinate financed SDCs to other debt, potentially making this tool even more beneficial. Alternately, credits allow developers to make necessary improvements to the site in lieu of paying SDCs. Note that the City can control its own SDCS, but often small cities manage them on behalf of other jurisdictions including the County and special districts.
Fund Sources SDC fund / general fund. In some cases, there may be no financial impact.
Benefits » Reduced up-front costs for developers can enable quicker development timeframe and increase the availability of property to be taxed.
Drawbacks » Reduces the availability of SDC funds over the short term.

7. ELECTRONIC COMMERCE ZONE (STATE OF OREGON ENABLED, LOCALLY ADOPTED)
How It Works Qualifying businesses in the zone receive a credit against the business’s annual state income or corporate excise tax liability based on 25% of the investment cost made in capital assets used in electronic-commerce operations.
Fund Sources State general fund (via income tax), and local general fund (via property taxes)
Benefits » Reduces the costs of operating a business, which increases the business’ financial viability
Drawbacks » Limited to supporting just electronic commerce (transactions via the internet or an internet-based computer platform)
8. ENTERPRISE ZONE (STATE OF OREGON ENABLED, LOCALLY ADOPTED)
How It Works Enterprise zones exempt businesses from local property taxes on new investments for a specified amount of time (3-5 years). Qualified investments include a new building/structure, structural modifications or additions, or newly installed machinery and equipment but not land, previously used property value and miscellaneous personal items. Eligible businesses include manufacturers, processors, and shippers. Retail, construction, financial and certain other defined activities are ineligible. The NMIA is currently inside the North Clackamas Enterprise Zone
Fund Sources Foregone revenue from general funds of local taxing jurisdictions that agree to participate–cities, school districts, counties, etc.
Benefits » Targeted tool to support businesses that is already adopted.
Drawbacks » Entails foregone general fund revenue funds for all overlapping taxing districts.
9. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS
How It Works Tax-exempt bonds issued by the state of Oregon that provide long-term financing for land, buildings and equipment for manufacturers.
Fund Sources Bonds are purchased by institutional investors
Benefits » Lower interest rates and tax-exempt status assist in reducing capital expenses.
» Generally, provide the greatest benefit to the borrower for bonds of $5 million or more. The Oregon Express Bond program is available for loans between $500,000 and $5 million.
» Can pay for up to 100% of project’s development costs
Drawbacks » Requires State backing
» Must have identified end user (can’t be used for speculative development)

10. STRATEGIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM (STATE OF OREGON)
How It Works Exempts a portion of very large (100M+)capital investments from property taxes, most often used for manufacturing firms and other “traded-sector” businesses.
Fund Sources Foregone revenue from local taxing jurisdictions’ general funds–cities, school districts, counties, etc.
Benefits » Targeted specifically to support traded-sector firms
» Can be very beneficial for businesses, depending on the investment size, in terms of net present value
Drawbacks » Revisitation clause is necessary to ensure that the program is functioning for the jurisdiction and the business.
» Foregone revenue from general funds for all overlapping taxing districts.
11. VERTICAL HOUSING TAX ABATEMENT (STATE OF OREGON ENABLED, LOCALLY ADOPTED)
How It Works Subsidizes “mixed-use” projects to encourage dense development or redevelopment by providing a partial property tax exemption on increased property value for qualified developments. The exemption varies in accordance with the number of residential floors on a mixed-use project with a maximum property tax exemption of 80 percent of imporvement value over 10 years. An additional property tax exemption on the land may be given if some or all the residential housing is for low-income persons (80 percent of area is median income or below). The proposed zone must meet at least one of the following criteria:
» Completely within the core area of an urban center.
» Entirely within half-mile radius of existing/planned light rail station.
» Entirely within one-quarter mile of fixed-route transit service (including a bus line).
» Contains property for which land-use comprehensive plan and imple¬menting ordinances effectively allow “mixed use” with residential.
State program webpage: http://www.oregon.gov/OHCS/Pages/HFS_Vertical_Housing_Program.aspx
Fund Sources Foregone revenue from general funds of local taxing jurisdictions that agree to participate–cities, school districts, counties, etc.
Benefits » Targeted tool to support mixed-use development in places with locational advantages.
» City may control on project-by-project basis, or it may create a zone as allowed by right.
Drawbacks » Entails foregone revenue from general fund for all overlapping taxing districts.
» Requires a lengthy approval process with taxing districts.

12. LAND BANKING (STATE OF OREGON ENABLED FOR BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT)
How It Works Municipalities purchase or acquire real property in anticipation of a future public/private partnership for private development or other public/community use. Property acquisition is most advantageous in down market cycles or before property values have appreciated to high levels.
Fund Sources Urban Renewal or general funds
Benefits » City-controlled development process
» Ability to achieve community goals after land prices have appreciated, e.g. affordable housing, or park development.
Drawbacks » Can be costly
» There may be legal restrictions on land acquisition or future disposition.
13. EPA BROWNFIELDS GRANTS
How It Works EPA funds several grant programs that help to pay for assessment, planning, remediation, revolving loan funds and environmental job training for sites identified as brownfields. EPA collaborates with other federal partners and state agencies to leverage resources for a variety of brownfields activities. These grants include:
» Cleanup Grants. Directly fund remediation of brownfield sites.
» Area-Wide Planning Grants. Grants fund research, planning and development of implementation strategies for areas affected by brownfields. Plans should inform the assessment, cleanup and reuse of brownfields and promote area-wide revitalization.
» Cleanup Grants. Directly fund remediation of brownfield sites.
» Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Grants. Provide funding for recruitment, training and placement of low-income, minority, unemployed and under-employed residents of solid and hazardous waste-impacted communities with the skills needed to secure full-time, sustainable employment in environmental fields, including the assessment and cleanup work taking place in their communities.
» Training, Research and Technical Assistance Grants. Provide funding to eligible organizations to facilitate brownfields revitalization.
» More information: https://www.epa.gov/brownfields/types-brownfields-grant-funding#tab-5
In 2016, Clackamas County received EPA Assessment grant funds to identify brownfields in 5 communities, including Milwaukie, along McLoughlin Blvd.
Fund Sources Federal and State funds
Benefits » Direct public investment into private projects.
» Does not impact City funds.
Drawbacks » Highly competitive and must meet EPA-identified criteria (varies by program).
The list of tax credits and abatements can be used for industrial and economic development, and mixed-use buildings.

14. AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT (LOCALLY MANAGED, ENABLED BY STATE OF OREGON)
How It Works Since 1985, the State of Oregon has allowed for affordable housing property tax abatements when they are sought separately by non-profits that develop and operate affordable rental housing. Only the residential portion of a property located within a City that is used to house very low-income people, or space that is used directly in providing housing for its low-income residents is eligible for a property tax exemption.
Fund Sources Local taxing jurisdictions’ general funds–cities, school districts, counties, etc.
Benefits » Targeted tool to support multi-family rentals or mixed-use development in places with locational advantages.
» The affordable housing tax abatement can stand alone (without tax credits). For example, if a non-profit housing provider were to use bonds, it could still be eligible for an abatement, but it must apply for them separately.
» Can be blended with other resources such as TIF, tax credits, housing bonds.
Drawbacks » Reduces general fund revenues for all overlapping taxing districts if property tax abatement is sought by affordable housing providers and approved by local jurisdictions.
15. OREGON AFFORDABLE HOUSING TAX CREDIT (OAHTC)
How It Works Provides a state income tax credit for affordable housing equity investments that help reduce the financing costs for multi family rental units. Applications must demonstrate a 20 year term that the benefit of the tax credit will be entirely passed on to reduce rents for the tenants.
Program webpage: http://www.oregon.gov/ohcs/pages/hrs_oahtc_program.aspx
Fund Sources Institutional investors or high net worth individuals makes investments. State general fund is impacted.
Benefits » Targeted tool to support multi-family rentals or mixed-use development in places with locational advantages.
» The credit contributes to project equity, reducing developer’s out-of-pocket investment and can be a significant incentive for the provision of affordable housing.
Drawbacks » The state allows for affordable housing property tax abatements. These are applied for separately.
» Entails foregone revenue from general fund.
» Highly competitive process.

16. LOW-INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT (FEDERAL PROGRAM, ADMINISTERED BY STATE OF OREGON)
How It Works Provides federal and state income tax credit for affordable housing equity investments that help reduce the financing costs for multi-family rental units. Applications must demonstrate that the project will be maintained as affordable housing for a minimum 30-year term. To be eligible, at least 20% of units must be at or below 50% or AMI, OR 40% must be at or below 60% AMI. There are two rates:
» The “9%” credit rate. New construction and substantial rehabilitation projects that are not otherwise subsidized by the federal government earn credits at a rate of approximately 9% of qualified basis, each year for a 10-year period. “9%” credits are more powerful but also more competitive.
» The “4%” credit rate. The 4% rate applies to acquisition of eligible, existing buildings and to federally-subsidized new construction or rehabilitation. The 4% rate also applies to all eligible bases in projects that are financed through the issuance of volume-cap multi-family tax-exempt bonds (the associated LIHTCs are sometimes called ”as of right” credits because they are automatically attached to the volume-cap bonds).
State program webpage: http://www.oregon.gov/OHCS/Pages/HRS_LIHTC_Program.aspx
Fund Sources Institutional investors or high net worth individuals make investments by purchasing tax credits, which infuses cash equity into a project that does not require repayment. Income tax receipts are impacted because investors’ income tax payments are reduced.
Benefits » Targeted tool to support multi-family rentals or mixed-use development in places with locational advantages. The credit contributes to project equity, reducing developer’s out-of-pocket investment and can be a significant incentive (particularly at the 9% level) for the provision of affordable housing.
» Can be blended with other resources such as TIF, property tax abatements, and housing bonds.
17. EB5
How It Works Attracts investment dollars for new commercial enterprises that will benefit the US economy primarily by creating new jobs for US citizens. There are two versions of the program: 1) the original program that requires foreign investor to commit $1 million for eligible projects that create at least 10 full-time direct jobs, and 2) the newer program that allows foreign investors to commit $500,000 in eligible projects within Targeted Employment Areas that create at least 10 direct and/or indirect jobs. In return for these investments, foreigners are eligible for US citizenship.
Fund Sources Foreign investors
Benefits » Relatively low-cost source of equity for appropriate projects. Projects can be construction (new or rehabilitation), or direct investments into businesses that will create required jobs.
» EB5 can be bundled with many other funding sources such as TIF.
» Among the most commonly sought-after projects are hotels and senior housing developments since both generate considerable jobs.
Drawbacks » $500,000 program investor projects must be in an EB-5 eligible “targeted employment area” or TEA. TEAs are areas that have unemployment rates in excess of 150% of the federal rate for a given year. TEAs are established and adjusted by the governors of each state.
» Must meet job generation requirements within 2.5 years.
» Investors expect to get their equity investment repaid at the end of five years.
» It takes added time to secure EB5 funds due to federally required process.

18. LAND ASSEMBLY AND PROPERTY PRICE BUY DOWN
How It Works The public sector sometimes controls land that has been acquired with resources that enable it to dispose of that land for targeted private and/or nonprofit redevelopment. Land acquired with funding sources such as urban renewal, EB5, or through federal resources such as CDBG or HUD Section 108 can be sold or leased at below market rates for various projects to help achieve redevelopment objectives. Publicly owned parcels can often be disposed of at lower costs or more flexible terms to induce redevelopment.
The public sector can provide technical assistance with the process of acquiring a private parcel for redevelopment or combining parcels together into one developable site. Other times, the public sector acquires the parcel(s), combines them, and sells to a private party.
Fund Sources Urban Renewal, CDBG/HUD 108
Benefits » Can help overcome development feasibility challenges by creating more viable redevelopment sites. Public ownership of assembled land makes land write-downs or ground leases more viable.
» Increases development feasibility by reducing development costs.
» Gives the public sector leverage to achieve its goals for the development via development agreement process with developer.
Drawbacks » Public agencies sometimes buy land at the appraised value because they want to achieve multiple goals – which can impact costs of future public and private acquisitions.
» Requires careful underwriting and program administration to reduce public sector risk and ensure program compliance.
19. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
How It Works Specially designed workforce training programs that cities, community colleges and workforce training entities help to jointly provide to businesses to train existing and potential employees.
Fund Sources Various
Benefits » Reduces difficulty of recruiting and cost of training staff
» Creates opportunities to partner with community colleges and other educational institutions
» Creates lasting benefits for individuals
Drawbacks » No clearly-delineated source of funds
» May require re-tooling of existing programs to ensure that the training programs are targeted to local industry needs

20. PRE-DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE
How It Works Pre-development assistance. Grants or low interest loans for pre-development (evaluation of site constraints and opportunities, development feasibility, conceptual planning, etc.) to reduce pre-development costs.
Fund Sources CDBG, General Fund, Urban Renewal
Benefits » Reduces what are often risky pre- development costs for developments that fulfill community goals.
» Enables developers and communities to explore wider range of project possibilities, particularly those that can meet more community as well as private sector objectives.
Drawbacks » Can be perceived as favoring particular developers or property owners.
» CDBG and Urban Renewal are only available in eligible areas
21. NEW MARKETS TAX CREDITS (FEDERAL PROGRAM, ADMINISTERED BY A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ENTITY)
How It Works The New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) program is designed to attract capital investment to low-income communities by allowing investors to receive a tax credit (against their Federal income tax) in return for equity investments in Community Development Entities (CDEs), which invest in low-income communities. The tax credit is 39% of the original investment, claimed over seven years.
Fund Sources Investors
Benefits » Relatively low-cost source of equity for appropriate projects.
» Projects can be construction (new or rehabilitation).
» NMTC can be bundled with many other funding sources such as TIF.
Drawbacks » NMTC are only available for use in areas identified as distressed within a community.
» Requires partnership with a CDE to receive the NMTC.
» Costly and complex to use
» It takes added time to secure NMTC due to federally required process.
22. MICROENTERPRISE AND SMALL BUSINESS LOANS
How It Works Direct loans to help start-ups, micro-enterprises and small businesses expand or become established.
Fund Sources Urban Renewal (for capital only), CDBG
Benefits » Targeted to support small businesses and start-ups
» Can be tailored to support local economic development strategies
Drawbacks » Requires careful underwriting and program administration to reduce public sector risk

List of additional amendments to the North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan
In July of 2017, the City Council directed staff to implement the draft NMIA by creating development code language and incorporating the plan as an ancillary plan with the Comprehensive Plan. In October 2017, staff identified a set of amendments to the July 2017 version of the plan. These amendments were highlighted in red and shown as strikeouts and inserts within the document. Following that review, staff conducted a second review which identified additional changes which are described in this document. These changes primarily focus on temporal phrasing (e.g. removing references to future actions when they are actually occurring with adoption of the plan) and references to the Tacoma Station Area Plan.
The list of changes follows below:
Page Edit
Cover Insert the date the plan is adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan
i The paragraph beginning with “Today, the City of Milwaukie sits on the cusp…..” should be replaced with: “The North Milwaukie Industrial Area presents opportunities for innovative redevelopment that takes advantage of a unique location that offers a variety of transportation options. This plan identifies policies and projects that are intended to encourage appropriate redevelopment in a thoughtful and focused way”.
ii Add “2013” before Tacoma Station Area Plan in the first column.
ii Revise the sentence in the 1st paragraph in the middle column to read: “Additionally the Plan has been informed by includes findings from the City’s recently completed economic opportunities….”
ii Replace the second bullet in the middle column with the following: “Incorporate the
TSAP into the NMIA Plan including concepts and projects to create a mixed use
district in close proximity to the light rail station. With adoption, the NMIA Plan
repeals and replaces the TSAP.
1 Add “2013” before Tacoma Station Area Plan in the first column.
1 In the sentence at the top of the second column, strike “current city wide visioning
process” and insert: “2017 community vision process” 1 In the third sentence in the second column, strike “recently completed a citywide” and
amend the text to read: “Additionally, the City’s 2016 economic opportunities analysis, ….”
1 In the second column after the first paragraph, add: “In addition, the NMIA Plan
serves as the Station Area Plan for the purposes of Title 6 of Metro's Urban Growth
Management Functional Plan. The actual Station Area is identified as the portion of
the NMIA district within approximately ½ mile of the light rail station.
1 Starting with the second paragraph in the second column, eliminate the text describing implementation strategies (8 bullets) and replace the text with a photograph of the Tacoma Light Rail Station. The 8 bullets being removed are repeated from the previous page (ii).
4 Change the heading to read: “Existing Land Use and Conditions”
4 Amend the first sentence to read: In 2017 as this plan was prepared, most of the approximately 195 acres….
Exhibit D.1
RS176
4 In the second sentence of the second paragraph strike “now vacant” and insert “former”.
4 Revise the first sentence of the third paragraph to read: In 2017, the NMIA contained around 3.4 million square feet…..”
5 In the title to Table 1, strike “current” and insert “2017”.
5A Add the following to the end of the paragraph on Johnson Creek (#3): “In addition, Johnson Creek includes land within the base flood area identified on FEMA floodplain maps. The base flood area is the area that has a 1% chance of flooding in any given year. The area to the south of Millport Rd is impacted by flood levels from the Willamette River.”
10 Add a new subsection in Chapter 2: Station Area Plan The NMIA Plan serves as the City of Milwaukie’s Station Area Plan for the purpose of meeting Title 6 requirements of Metro’s Urban Growth Management Functional Plan. The Station Area boundary for planning purposes is the area within approximately ½ mile of the Tacoma Light Rail Station as depicted in Figure 1, below. The NMIA Plan provides policies, projects, and programs aimed at enhancing the area around the Tacoma light rail station as a mixed-use district providing opportunities for housing, commercial, and employment uses. Projects focus on creating a pedestrian friendly environment in this area with strong connections to surrounding neighborhoods.
Figure 1 – Proposed Tacoma Station Area
17 Amend the second sentence in the second paragraph as follows: Add “2013“ before Tacoma Station Area Plan. Insert a period after (TSAP). Create a third sentence which reads: “The projects in the Plan improve vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian connectivity in the NMIA.”
RS177
17 Under the Maximum block lengths bullet in the second column, replace the last
sentence with the following: “The industrial and employment area should have larger
block length standards (600-1200 feet) and the mixed use area should have tighter
blocks (300-530 feet).”
18 In the second paragraph of the third column, delete the words “Tacoma Station Area Plan (TSAP)” so that the sentence reads: “The cross section for Ochoco Street….”
18 Amend the second sentence in the second paragraph of the third column by deleting “The TSAP notes” and revise the sentence to read: “Minimum 8 ft-wide sidewalks are required along key streets …….”
19 Amend the Main Street bullet paragraph to remove the references to the TSAP. The first sentence should read as follows: “The Plan provides a cross section, shown in Figures X, X, X, X, and X, for a separated 12-14 ft-wide multi-use path…..”. Amend the last sentence by deleting “The TSAP notes” and insert “The Plan provides for minimum 8 ft-wide sidewalks along Main Street….”
22 Amend the text to remove references to the TSAP. Revise the second sentence under the Mailwell Drive bullet to read: “ The Plan includes Figure X (shown below) which reconciles truck and pedestrian uses.” Revise the first sentence under the Stubb Street bullet to strike “TSAP”.
24 Amend the second sentence under the Other streets bullet to strike “TSAP”. Amend the third sentence to strike the reference to the TSAP and read: “All sidewalks should be 8 ft wide and stormwater planters …..”
24 In the middle column under the bullet for Improved access to the Springwater Corridor, amend the text to read: “The Plan recommends the creation of a separated multi-use path.”
27 In project 3, delete the words: “from the TSAP”.
29 The plan and zoning will be adopted together. References to “proposed” zoning should be eliminated. Strike the word “proposed from the last sentence in the second paragraph of the first column. Add the following sentences: “The figure depicts two zones. The Mixed Use Tacoma Station Area (MUTSA) zone allows a broad mix of residential, commercial, and employment uses. The North Milwaukie Employment (NME) zone allows a mix of manufacturing, distribution, and production office uses.
29 In the second paragraph in column one, delete the word “proposed”. Revise the first sentence in the third paragraph to delete the word: “currently”. Revise the last sentence to read: “Primary land uses in the North Milwaukie Employment (NME) zone include manufacturing and distribution uses as well as…..”
29 Revise the first paragraph in the middle column to read: “ The primary land uses in Table 3 have been translated into zoning and site design standards as part of project implementation.
29 Revise the second in the second paragraph in the middle column to eliminate references to “proposed” zoning. Revise as follows: “The Plan combines three former Tacoma Station Area subareas (Areas 1, 2, and 3) into a single zone (MUTSA) and combines the former Tacoma Station Area subarea 4 with areas formerly zoned M-Manufacturing to create the NME zone.” Strike the final sentence in the paragraph – the existing conditions report is part of the initial plan document and is not being incorporated into the adopted plan.
30 In the first column, revise the subsection heading to read: “Zoning” and eliminate the first sentence. Drop the words “continue to” from the second sentence.
RS178
30 Under the Desired Build Form subsection, drop the word “(proposed)” from the first sentence. Drop the word “Future” from the second sentence.
32 In the headings of Table 3, drop the word “proposed” in three places. Strike the phrase “(combined 1-3)” at the top of the MUTSA column.
48 Amend Action 3.1.1 to read “Review zoning periodically to ensure that code language does not create a significant barrier to appropriate redevelopment.” Change the timing column to say “Annually”.
49 Amend Objective 3.5 to state: “Through zoning, restrict residential development except in areas near the Tacoma light rail station that are zoned for mixed use.” Change timing to “Ongoing”.
Throughout the plan

Transportation System Plan (TSP)
Executive Summary
TSP UPDATE PROCESS Identification of Needs and Potential Improvements The traffic volume projections forecasted from the Metro model formed the basis for identifying potential roadway deficiencies and evaluating alternative circulation improvements within Milwaukie. Needs for other modes were then identified, based on the future traffic forecasts and deficiencies in the existing infrastructure (sidewalks, bike lanes, transit stops, etc.).
Collectively, the master plans in Chapters 5 through 12 of the TSP describe the proposed capital and operational improvements to the transportation system between 2013 and 2035. While many of these potential improvements are presented as benefiting one mode, when possible, multiple modes are combined into one project. For instance, the Railroad Ave road-widening project listed in the Street Network Master Plan could include new bike lanes and sidewalks, as well as improvements for freight and transit.
Between the 2007 and 2013 TSP updates, the PMLR project became more defined, with construction starting in 2012. A thorough feasibility and impact study was conducted for the PMLR project, identifying and developing appropriate mitigation for the new light rail system's impacts to Milwaukie's transportation infrastructure. The warranted improvements are being constructed as the new light rail system is being built. Once completed, PMLR will become a part of the City's transportation system and will be further studied to identify and address needed improvements as part of future updates to the TSP.
In June 2013, the Tacoma Station Area Plan (TSAP) was adopted to address potential redevelopment opportunities near the new PMLR station at Tacoma St. The TSAP included a list of approximately 20 projects identified to meet new transportation needs. These projects were assigned order-of-magnitude costs and were added to the relevant project lists for the various modes.
In 2015, the Central Milwaukie Land Use and Transportation Plan (CMLUTP) was adopted to address potential new development and redevelopment opportunities in the central Milwaukie area. The CMLUTP included a variety of projects, particularly pedestrian and bicycle connections, which were added to the relevant project lists.
In 2017, the North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan (NMIA Plan) was adopted to build on the TSAP to encourage redevelopment of this critical employment area. At the time it was adopted, the TSAP was repealed, as it was incorporated into the NMIA Plan. Additional transportation projects were identified in the NMIA Plan, which were added to the relevant project lists for the various modes.
Ranking and Prioritizing Improvements The action plans in Chapters 5 through 12 focus on the highest priority projects that are most likely to be funded over the next 22 years with limited City funds. The action plans are built upon the premise that, given the limited funds available, the City should prioritize funding of
Exhibit E
RS180
Proposed Amendments
2 of 11 February 2018 North Milwaukie Industrial Area
transportation projects that 1) effectively address identified problems, and 2) best meet the City's Goals.
To prioritize the projects as part of the 2007 TSP update, project staff and the Advisory Committee used three sources: the project rankings from the working groups, evaluation of each project against the nine TSP Goals, and other information regarding dependence on other projects, neighborhood support, etc. Using this approach, project staff and the Advisory Committee developed a relative ranking of the projects, grouping them into three categories (high, medium, and low priority).
For the 2013 TSP update, project staff did not reevaluate projects against the nine TSP Goals but, instead, considered the input generated around a public meeting that was held to discuss transportation project priorities. For approximately 20% of the existing projects, the priority classification was adjusted to reflect changes in current conditions or a new awareness of community need. For new projects arising from the Tacoma Station Area Plan (TSAP), staff assigned a priority to each based on input from the TSAP Advisory Committee as well as staff knowledge of overall system needs. Projects identified in the CMLUTP and NMIA Plan were not prioritized at the time of identification.

Transportation System Plan (TSP)
Executive Summary
TSP UPDATE PROCESS Identification of Needs and Potential Improvements The traffic volume projections forecasted from the Metro model formed the basis for identifying potential roadway deficiencies and evaluating alternative circulation improvements within Milwaukie. Needs for other modes were then identified, based on the future traffic forecasts and deficiencies in the existing infrastructure (sidewalks, bike lanes, transit stops, etc.).
Collectively, the master plans in Chapters 5 through 12 of the TSP describe the proposed capital and operational improvements to the transportation system between 2013 and 2035. While many of these potential improvements are presented as benefiting one mode, when possible, multiple modes are combined into one project. For instance, the Railroad Ave road-widening project listed in the Street Network Master Plan could include new bike lanes and sidewalks, as well as improvements for freight and transit.
Between the 2007 and 2013 TSP updates, the PMLR project became more defined, with construction starting in 2012. A thorough feasibility and impact study was conducted for the PMLR project, identifying and developing appropriate mitigation for the new light rail system's impacts to Milwaukie's transportation infrastructure. The warranted improvements are being constructed as the new light rail system is being built. Once completed, PMLR will become a part of the City's transportation system and will be further studied to identify and address needed improvements as part of future updates to the TSP.
In June 2013, the Tacoma Station Area Plan (TSAP) was adopted to address potential redevelopment opportunities near the new PMLR station at Tacoma St. The TSAP included a list of approximately 20 projects identified to meet new transportation needs. These projects were assigned order-of-magnitude costs and were added to the relevant project lists for the various modes.
In 2015, the Central Milwaukie Land Use and Transportation Plan (CMLUTP) was adopted to address potential new development and redevelopment opportunities in the central Milwaukie area. The CMLUTP included a variety of projects, particularly pedestrian and bicycle connections, which were added to the relevant project lists.
In 2017, the North Milwaukie Industrial Area Plan (NMIA Plan) was adopted to build on the TSAP to encourage redevelopment of this critical employment area. At the time it was adopted, the TSAP was repealed, as it was incorporated into the NMIA Plan. Additional transportation projects were identified in the NMIA Plan, which were added to the relevant project lists for the various modes.
Ranking and Prioritizing Improvements The action plans in Chapters 5 through 12 focus on the highest priority projects that are most likely to be funded over the next 22 years with limited City funds. The action plans are built upon the premise that, given the limited funds available, the City should prioritize funding of
Exhibit F

Proposed Amendments

transportation projects that 1) effectively address identified problems, and 2) best meet the City's Goals.
To prioritize the projects as part of the 2007 TSP update, project staff and the Advisory Committee used three sources: the project rankings from the working groups, evaluation of each project against the nine TSP Goals, and other information regarding dependence on other projects, neighborhood support, etc. Using this approach, project staff and the Advisory Committee developed a relative ranking of the projects, grouping them into three categories (high, medium, and low priority).
For the 2013 TSP update, project staff did not reevaluate projects against the nine TSP Goals but, instead, considered the input generated around a public meeting that was held to discuss transportation project priorities. For approximately 20% of the existing projects, the priority classification was adjusted to reflect changes in current conditions or a new awareness of community need. For new projects arising from the Tacoma Station Area Plan (TSAP), staff assigned a priority to each based on input from the TSAP Advisory Committee as well as staff knowledge of overall system needs. Projects identified in the CMLUTP and NMIA Plan were not prioritized at the time of identification.

In some cases, it may be appropriate to construct a nontraditional pedestrian facility on one side of the street. See Chapter 10 Street Design for more information on the City's approach to designing pedestrian facilities. 3 Project costs are order-of-magnitude estimates and are in 2012 dollars. Future costs may be more due to inflation. In the case of operational projects, estimated costs are for the entire 22-year planning period.

Zoning Ordinance
CHAPTER 19.300 BASE ZONES
19.312 NORTH MILWAUKIE INDUSTRIAL AREA 19.312.1 Purpose A. The Tacoma Station Area Mixed Use Zone (MUTSA) is intended to support the goals and
policies of the North Milwaukie Industrial Area (NMIA) Plan. The MUTSA district is intended to take advantage of its unique location near the Tacoma light rail station and provide opportunities for a wide range of uses. The primary uses in this zone include housing, limited commercial and service-related office use, high intensity office employment, and light industrial uses including uses involved in production, manufacturing and processing, of goods. The intent of light industrial uses in the MUTSA is to provide an area to serve a wide variety of manufacturing and other industrial activities with controlled external impacts. These types of industries are often involved in the secondary processing of materials into components, the assembly of components into finished products, food and beverage processing, warehousing, and wholesaling. The external impact from these uses is generally less than heavy industrial uses and activities are generally located indoors.
B. The North Milwaukie Employment Zone (NME) Zone is intended to support the goals and policies of the NMIA Plan and retain the area as a viable industrial and employment zone. The primary uses in the zone are intended to be uses involved in production, manufacturing, processing, and transportation of goods, as well as uses providing opportunities for higher intensity employment such as production-related office, laboratories, and research and development uses. Limited specific uses not involving the production and transportation of goods, which are appropriate for industrial areas due to their use characteristics, are also allowed. Service-related office and commercial uses are intended to be incidental uses that are minor in relation to the industrial uses on a site and should be subordinate and accessory to the industrial uses in the zone.
19.312.2 Uses A. Permitted Uses
Uses allowed outright in the NMIA zones are listed in Table 19.312.2 with a “P.” These uses are allowed if they comply with the development and design standards and other regulations of this title.
B. Community Service Uses
Uses listed in Table 19.312.2 as “CSU” are permitted only as community service uses in conformance with Section 19.904.
C. Conditional Uses
Uses listed in Table 19.312.2 as “CU” are permitted only as conditional uses in conformance with Section 19.905.
D. Nonconforming Uses, Structures, and Development
Exhibit G
RS214
Proposed Code Amendment
2 of 40 January 2018 NMIA Code Amendments
Existing structures and uses that do not meet the standards for the NMIA zones may continue in existence. Alteration or expansion of a nonconforming use, structure, or development that brings the use, structure, or development closer to compliance may be allowed through development review pursuant to Section 19.906. Alteration or expansion of a nonconforming use or structure that does not bring the use or structure closer to compliance may be allowed through a Type III variance pursuant to Section 19.911. Except where otherwise stated in this section, the provisions of Chapter 19.800 Nonconforming Uses and Development apply.
E. Prohibited Uses
Uses not listed in Table 19.312.2, and not considered accessory or similar pursuant to Subsections 19.312.2.F and G below, are prohibited. Uses listed with an “N” in Table 19.312.2 are also prohibited.
F. Limited Uses
Uses listed in Table 19.312.2 as “L” are permitted only as limited uses in conformance with Section 19.312.4.
G. Accessory Uses
Uses that are accessory to a primary use are allowed if they comply with all development standards.
H. Similar Uses
The Planning Director, through a Type I review, may determine that a use that is not listed is considered similar to an example use listed in Table 19.312.2. The unlisted use shall be subject to the standards applicable to the similar example use.

New buildings that devote at least 1 story or 25% of the gross floor area to residential uses are permitted 1 additional story or an additional 12 ft of building height, whichever is less.
2. Green Building
New buildings that receive certification (any level) under an ANSI-approved green building rating system (e.g., LEED, Earth Advantage, or Green Globes certified) are permitted 1 additional story or an additional 12 ft of building height, whichever is less.
Height bonus eligibility shall be verified at the time of building permit submittal and shall be contingent upon submittal of green building certification. The height bonus may be binding under a development agreement and height bonus awards may be revoked, and/or other permits or approvals may be withheld, if the project fails to achieve certification.
B. Screening of Outdoor Uses
Outdoor uses shall be screened as follows:
1. All outdoor storage areas shall be screened from adjacent properties by a 6-ft-high sight-obscuring fence or wall or by the use of vegetation. Vegetation used to screen outdoor storage areas shall be of such species, number, and spacing to provide the required screening within 1 year after planting.
2. All screened or walled outdoor use and storage areas which abut a public street shall be set back a minimum of 25 ft from the property line(s). Within that setback area, trees and evergreen shrubs shall be planted. The plants shall be of such a variety and arranged to allow only minimum gaps between foliage of mature trees and plants within 4 years of planting.
3. All plantings used to screen outdoor uses shall be maintained on an ongoing basis and shall be replaced if vegetation is diseased, dying, or dead.
C. Loading and Unloading Areas
In the NMIA, no loading or unloading facilities shall be located adjacent to lands designated for residential uses, or residential community services, if there are alternative locations of adequate size on the subject site.

The design standards in this section generally apply to the street-facing façades of new, and major alterations to, commercial, institutional, manufacturing, and mixed-use buildings. Exterior maintenance and repair and minor exterior alterations are not subject to these standards. Subsection 19.312.7.B below defines exterior maintenance and repair and major/minor exterior and interior alterations.
1. Ground-Floor and Street-facing Windows and Doors
Long expanses of blank walls facing the street or other public area have negative impacts on the streetscape and the pedestrian environment.
The ground-floor street wall area is defined as the area up to the finished ceiling height of the space fronting the street or 15 ft above finished grade, whichever is less.

19.312 TACOMA STATION AREA MANUFACTURING ZONE M-TSA 19.312.1 Purpose The M-TSA Zone is intended to support the goals and policies of the Tacoma Station Area Plan and retain the area as a viable industrial zone as the uses allowed by the Tacoma Station Area Overlay Zone become established. The primary uses in the zone are intended to be uses involved in production, manufacturing, processing, and transportation of goods. Some specific uses not involving goods, which are appropriate for industrial areas due to their use characteristics, are also allowed. Office uses are intended to be subordinate and accessory to the industrial uses, and commercial uses are intended to be incidental uses that are minor in relation to the industrial uses on a site.
19.312.2 Use Categories The categories of land uses that are permitted in the M-TSA Zone are listed in Table 19.312.2. Permitted uses are designated with a “P.” A “C” in this table indicates a use that may be authorized as a conditional use in conformance with Chapter 19.905. An “L” indicates a use that is permitted outright with certain limitations as described in Subsection 19.312.6. Uses not listed in the table are not allowed.
All uses must comply with the land use district standards of this section and all other applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. If it is unclear whether a proposed use is allowed under the use categories, the applicant may submit a Director determination application per Subsection 19.903 to resolve the issue.

Subarea boundaries are shown on the Zoning Map. The intent of the subareas is to recognize that the station area is not anticipated to develop uniformly in the future. Lands closest to the future Tacoma light rail station are expected to support a different mix of uses and design standards than lands further from the station. The transportation network, existing and planned, also establishes a distinction between the varying transportation demands associated with anticipated land uses within the subareas. As such, street design cross sections for the Tacoma station area, found in the Public Works Standards, may vary by subarea. The following subsections define the four subareas and provide specific requirements and standards for each.
19.406.5 Subarea 1: North of Springwater A. Subarea Boundary
Subarea 1 is located north of the Springwater Corridor and south of the Tacoma light rail station, as shown on the Zoning Map.
B. Subarea Characteristics
Due to its proximity to the Tacoma light rail station, Subarea 1 is intended to develop a mix of land uses, including retail commercial and limited residential uses that cater to light rail users. Subarea 1 is anticipated to develop as an active “station area community” supported by convenient access to light rail.
C. Permitted Uses
Permitted uses in Subarea 1 are the same as those permitted in the base M-TSA Zone, with the following exceptions:
1. Professional service and office uses are permitted in a stand-alone building with no size limitations (they do not need to be accessory to a manufacturing use).
2. Multifamily residential is permitted outright in a stand-alone building or in stories above a ground-floor commercial or office use.
D. Limited and Prohibited Uses
The following uses are not allowed or are allowed with limitations.
1. Retail uses are permitted in a stand-alone building (they do not need to be accessory to a manufacturing use). Retail uses shall not exceed 60,000 sq ft per building or development project.
2. Warehousing and storage uses, as defined in Subsection 19.312.2.D, are allowed only as accessory or secondary uses to a permitted use. Stand-alone warehouse and storage uses are prohibited.
3. Only those manufacturing uses that comply with the off-site impact standards in Subsection 19.406.3.B are allowed.

F. Design Standards for All New Construction and Major Exterior Alterations
In addition to the standards in the base M-TSA Zone, both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing uses shall comply with the standards below. Exterior maintenance and repair, and minor exterior alterations, are not subject to these standards. Stand-alone multifamily buildings are not subject to these standards. Subsection 19.406.5.G below defines exterior maintenance and repair and major/minor exterior alterations.
1. Ground-Floor Windows and Doors
Long expanses of blank walls facing the street or other public area have negative impacts on the streetscape and the pedestrian environment. To minimize these effects, the standards of this section are intended to enhance street safety and provide a comfortable walking environment by providing ground-level features of interest to pedestrians. All exterior walls facing the street or sidewalk must meet the following standards:
a. 50% of the ground-floor street wall area must consist of openings; i.e., windows or glazed doors. The ground-floor street wall area is defined as the area up to the finished ceiling height of the space fronting the street or 15 ft above finished grade, whichever is less. See Figure 19.406.5.F.1.a. Window coverage is defined as the total ground-floor window area divided by the total ground-floor street wall area.
Figure 19.406.5.F.1.a Ground-Floor Windows and Doors
Area Calculation for Ground-Floor Windows and Doors: Single window area = L x M
Total window area (TWA) = (L x M) x (number of window bays, including transparent doors)
Total ground-floor street wall area = X x Y
b. Ground-floor windows shall be distributed along the wall area such that there are no lengths of windowless wall greater than 20 ft.

CHAPTER 19.300 BASE ZONES
19.312 NORTH MILWAUKIE INDUSTRIAL AREA 19.312.1 Purpose A. The Tacoma Station Area Mixed Use Zone (MUTSA) is intended to support the goals and
policies of the North Milwaukie Industrial Area (NMIA) Plan. The MUTSA district is intended to take advantage of its unique location near the Tacoma light rail station and provide opportunities for a wide range of uses. The primary uses in this zone include housing, limited commercial and service-related office use, high intensity office employment, and light industrial uses including uses involved in production, manufacturing and processing, of goods. The intent of light industrial uses in the MUTSA is to provide an area to serve a wide variety of manufacturing and other industrial activities with controlled external impacts. These types of industries are often involved in the secondary processing of materials into components, the assembly of components into finished products, food and beverage processing, warehousing, and wholesaling. The external impact from these uses is generally less than heavy industrial uses and activities are generally located indoors.
B. The North Milwaukie Employment Zone (NME) Zone is intended to support the goals and policies of the NMIA Plan and retain the area as a viable industrial and employment zone. The primary uses in the zone are intended to be uses involved in production, manufacturing, processing, and transportation of goods, as well as uses providing opportunities for higher intensity employment such as production-related office, laboratories, and research and development uses. Limited specific uses not involving the production and transportation of goods, which are appropriate for industrial areas due to their use characteristics, are also allowed. Service-related office and commercial uses are intended to be incidental uses that are minor in relation to the industrial uses on a site and should be subordinate and accessory to the industrial uses in the zone.
19.312.2 Uses A. Permitted Uses
Uses allowed outright in the NMIA zones are listed in Table 19.312.2 with a “P.” These uses are allowed if they comply with the development and design standards and other regulations of this title.
B. Community Service Uses
Uses listed in Table 19.312.2 as “CSU” are permitted only as community service uses in conformance with Section 19.904.
C. Conditional Uses
Uses listed in Table 19.312.2 as “CU” are permitted only as conditional uses in conformance with Section 19.905.

Existing structures and uses that do not meet the standards for the NMIA zones may continue in existence. Alteration or expansion of a nonconforming use, structure, or development that brings the use, structure, or development closer to compliance may be allowed through development review pursuant to Section 19.906. Alteration or expansion of a nonconforming use or structure that does not bring the use or structure closer to compliance may be allowed through a Type III variance pursuant to Section 19.911. Except where otherwise stated in this section, the provisions of Chapter 19.800 Nonconforming Uses and Development apply.
E. Prohibited Uses
Uses not listed in Table 19.312.2, and not considered accessory or similar pursuant to Subsections 19.312.2.F and G below, are prohibited. Uses listed with an “N” in Table 19.312.2 are also prohibited.
F. Limited Uses
Uses listed in Table 19.312.2 as “L” are permitted only as limited uses in conformance with Section 19.312.4.
G. Accessory Uses
Uses that are accessory to a primary use are allowed if they comply with all development standards.
H. Similar Uses
The Planning Director, through a Type I review, may determine that a use that is not listed is considered similar to an example use listed in Table 19.312.2. The unlisted use shall be subject to the standards applicable to the similar example use.

SUBJECT: North Milwaukie Industrial Area
Trip Generation Scenario Analysis
This memorandum summarizes trip generation assumptions and calculations related to potential
changes in zoning for certain portions of the North Milwaukie Industrial Area (NMIA). This summary
includes analysis of the existing conditions and of the proposed changes. Assumptions and
calculations for the existing zoning and proposed zoning changes are included in the following
sections.
Trip Generation from Existing NMIA Zoning
Potential Trip Generation
This section describes the reasonable
worst-case scenario for PM peak hour
vehicle trips under the existing zoning in
the planning area. The reasonable worst-
case trip generation establishes a
threshold against which trip generation
for possible zoning changes in the
planning area will be compared, helping
to determine whether further traffic
impact evaluation would be required
based on the Transportation Planning
Rule (TPR) 660-012-0060. This threshold
is important for the planning area, as
future year conditions (documented in
the City’s Transportation System Plan)
result in mobility deficiencies along SE
McLoughlin Boulevard, which would
likely require costly mitigation if a significant effect were found.

Zoning and Assumed Land Uses
The planning area is zoned Manufacturing (M) and M-TSA (Tacoma Station Manufacturing Zone) with
special overlays in four subareas (see Figure 1). The M-TSA Zone permits a combination of
manufacturing, office, and/or commercial uses, while the TSA overlay, comprised of four Subareas,
allows a wider mix of uses near Tacoma Station while retaining much of the southern part of the
planning area for industrial uses. For the purpose of this analysis, M-TSA Subarea 3 is further divided
into two subareas noted as M-TSA 3A and M-TSA 3B to take advantage of a 30% trip generation
reduction near the Tacoma Station.
To create a reasonable worst-case development scenario, this analysis assigns the highest allowable
percentage of floor area, based on Section 19.309, 19.312, and 19.406 of the City’s Zoning
Ordinance1, to the highest trip-generating uses reasonably allowed under the zoning. The proposed
land use mix for this analysis was previously vetted through the 2013 Tacoma Station Area Plan
(TSAP). Table 1 shows the percentage allocations for each land use based on percentage of leasable
square feet in each area used and agreed upon for the TSAP planning process. The numbers shown
for Zone M-TSA 4 vary from those reported in the NMIA Existing Conditions Report. Numbers in the
Existing Conditions Report were taken from a scenario analysis that reflected a lower office
percentage that was not ultimately implemented in the TSAP process. The table below correctly
shows the reasonable worst case land use mix as reflected in the adopted zoning.

M-TSA assumptions were developed as part of the TSAP. For the M Zone, Milwaukie’s Zoning Ordinance requires that a minimum of 25% of every project consist of Industrial uses, as described under Subsection 19.309.2.A. The remaining 75% of leasable square footage is allocated to non-Industrial uses, to create a worst-case scenario. The 7.5% retail shown must be accessory to a permitted office use.

a Measurement from Tacoma Station Area Plan analysis was retained for M-TSA subareas 1, 2, 3A, and 3B b Buildable acreage for adopted M-TSA 4 was calculated by subtracting M (East) buildable acreage from overall buildable
acreage from TSAP Zone 4, which included both the adopted M-TSA 4 and M (East) in the trip generation analysis c Buildable acreage for M Zone east of M-TSA 4 was measured directly in GIS
The analysis for the reasonable worst-case scenario is based on buildable acreage shown in Table 2
above. This procedure was more refined than that used for the NMIA Existing Conditions Report and
results in a reduction of the buildable lands for the study area. A description of the calculation for
each subarea follows:
• Buildable acreage for areas that are unchanged from the TSAP (subareas M-TSA 1, 2, 3A, and
3B) was also left unchanged for this analysis. The buildable acreage for those areas was
calculated using the gross area minus a 25% area reduction to account for road right of way.
• Buildable acreage for area M (East) was calculated by aggregating buildable parcels in GIS.
• Buildable acreage for M-TSA 4 was calculated by subtracting M (East) from the larger TSAP
Zone 4 area that was analyzed in the TSAP process. Zone 4 was originally comprised of the
current M-TSA 4 and M (East). The buildable acreage for this area also reflects a 25%
decrease to account for road right of way.
• The calculation for M (West) was more detailed. Due to the large footprint of Johnson Creek
and the presence of the Milwaukie Pioneer Cemetery, a larger reduction in buildable land
was considered appropriate. The footprint of Johnson Creek was determined using GIS data
from the Regional Land Information System. The final area of M (West) was reduced by that
footprint, the parcel size of the cemetery, and a 25% reduction for road right of way in the
remaining developable land.

FAR Assumptions and Calculations
For trip generation purposes, Floor Area Ratio (FAR) refers to total floor area of the structures on a
parcel expressed as a percentage of the parcel area. For example, a two-story building with two
floors of 3,000 square feet each on a 10,000 square foot lot would have a FAR of:
2 ∗ 3,000
10,000= 0.60
The reasonable worst-case analysis relies on observed FARs for areas with comparable uses and locations within the Portland Region2. The analysis uses the following FARs for the assumed land uses, with comparable areas noted:
• Manufacturing: 0.20 (Rivergate Industrial Area, 0.21)
• Office: 0.35 (Tigard Employment Area, 0.33)
• Retail: 0.25 (Division Main Street3, 0.26)
• Residential: 20 DU/Ac (minimum allowed 16 DU/Ac), a slight increase over the minimum
allowed was used to reflect reasonable worst case development expectations given a Station
Area community in the NMIA’s urban context

M-TSA Subarea 3 is divided into two parts (3A and 3B), for this analysis, to account for the fact that
the area north of Stubb Street (3A) is closer to the LRT station and can be considered a Station Area
under Metro’s Urban Growth Management Functional Plan, while the part south of Stubb Street (3B)
is too far from the LRT station to be considered a Station Area in that context. This distinction was
vetted through the TSAP process, and is incorporated into the trip generation analysis described
below.

Trip Generation
The following Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation codes were used for estimating reasonable worst-case trip generation for each of the land uses. The ITE codes, including the mix of retail codes, were selected in coordination with City and ODOT staff during the Tacoma Station Area plan process, and therefore form the base case for TPR analysis.
Trip rates reflect the p.m. peak hour of adjacent street traffic, including General Office, for which the peak hour of the trip generator coincides with the peak hour of adjacent street traffic. These codes represent a range of trip patterns that can be expected for the area from low trip generation (residential 0.58 trips) to high trip generation (restaurant 9.85 trips). The land use codes chosen are not meant to explicitly prescribe the types of development expected, but to estimate a reasonable range and balance of trip generation rates. For retail, Sit-Down Restaurant is a proxy for relatively high commercial trip generation, while Health/Fitness Club represents a relatively low trip generator. This range is expected to result in a reasonable worst case scenario for the permitted zoning allocations.
• Industrial. ITE Code 110, Light Industrial, 0.97 p.m. peak hour trips per 1,000 square feet (KSF)
• Office (including Station Area). ITE Code 710, General Office, 1.49 p.m. peak hour trips per KSF
• Retail. Evenly split between uses where applicable: o ITE Code 932, Sit-Down Restaurant, 9.85 p.m. peak hour trips per KSF o ITE Code 492, Health/Fitness Club, 3.53 p.m. peak hour trips per KSF o ITE Code 820 Shopping center, 3.71 p.m. peak hour trips per KSF
• Residential. ITE Code 221, Low-Rise Apartment, 0.58 p.m. peak hour trips per dwelling unit
The General Office (710) use meets the ITE guidelines for using the given fitted curve equation rather than specific trip generation rates. The equation for Code 710 was applied to the total leasable office space in the study area, and then the trips derived from the equation were allocated proportionally back to the subareas. All other land uses relied on rates per 1,000 square feet or dwelling unit. For the Sit-Down Restaurant (932) and Shopping Center (820) uses, it is appropriate to apply a reduction for “pass-by” trips (trips attracting motorists who are already on the street). The pass-by reduction applied for code 932 is 43%, and for code 820 it is 34%.
Additionally, a 30% reduction from ITE rates for trips generated north of Stubb Street was included, given certain conditions in Metro’s Urban Growth Management Functional Plan4 being met for Station Communities.5 Final trip generation totals are shown in Table 5, below. The totals shown reflect a more refined estimate for the developable lands than that used in the NMIA Existing

Trip Generation from Proposed Zoning Modifications
The proposed zoning change consolidates the current M-TSA Zones 1, 2 and 3 into a new single zone, M-TSA Zone. M-TSA 4 and M Zones are combined to become North Milwaukie Industrial Area (NMIA) Zone. Based on the proposed development requirements there are changes to the reasonable worst case development assumptions (shown as grey cells in the subsequent tables). The most significant of those changes is a reduction in the proportion of leasable square footage occupied by office land use from 67.5% to 42.5% and an increase of industrial use from 25% to 50%.

Table 6 shows the revised land use mix assumptions based on the proposed changes to zoning code. The zones are categorized by existing subarea to facilitate comparison with the existing zoning scenario. There are changes to Zone M-TSA 1 and the subareas proposed for the new NMIA zone (M West, M-TSA 4, and M East). These subareas reflect an increase in industrial land use and a decrease in office use compared to the percentages in the existing zoning scenario.

In these zones, the FAR is increased for office and retail, land use types that would potentially use that additional space. A residential density is now included for M-TSA 1. Although M-TSA-1 allows residential use under the base case, the reasonable worst case analysis assumed it was more likely that only retail and office (higher trip generators) would be constructed.

The revised leasable square footage based on the assumed FAR is tabulated in Table 8. The modified FAR increases the total leasable square footage, which in turn results in changes to leasable square footage in all land use categories, since the leasable square footage for all categories is based on the percentages shown in Table 6. This means that a land use category with no changes from the existing zoning might end up with a different total leasable square footage. The size of the zones and the assumptions for trip reduction rates is consistent with the previous analysis, resulting in the final trip totals in Table 9, below. The character of the retail shopping previously analyzed as Shopping Center (ITE code 820) is expected to be closer to Specialty Retail (ITE code 826) due to the lower square footage maximum in M-TSA 1. Specialty Retail has a PM peak hour trip rate of 2.71.

Table 10, below, shows the difference in trips between existing and proposed zoning requirements. 99 fewer trips can be expected based on the proposed zoning modification. Some small differences below come from the use of the ITE equation6, rather than rates, to calculate the trips generated for office land use. The equation is applied to the whole study area, and then allocated to subareas based on assumed leasable square footage. This analysis shows that the higher FAR assumptions documented in Table 7 can be counterbalanced by limiting office used in the NMIA zone, resulting in no net increase in trip generation over the existing zoning. Further TPR analysis would not be required.
6 The ITE equation for certain codes, such as Office, is typically applied instead of a rate to improve accuracy when the total square footage is above a minimum threshold. For this project, it results in a modeled total for the entire study area that is then proportionally allocated back to the subareas. For Office land use the equation is: 1.12*(leasable square footage/1,000) +78.45.

Proposed Zoning Analysis Summary
This analysis shows how a zoning code that allows increased FAR in the study area can be supported by also designing the code to limit office uses to no more than 42.5% of all leasable square footage in the NMIA zone. The result of shifting 25% of the land use allocation between the existing zoning and the proposed zoning scenario is an overall reduction of 99 trips.
These land use assumptions for the NMIA zone reflect both the intention of the proposed NMIA zoning modification and the type of development that is reasonable to expect over the 20-year planning horizon. Distance from light rail and the predominantly industrial use of the existing parcels in the new NMIA zone can be expected to slow the transition catalyzed by the MAX Orange Line and Tacoma Station, whereas the MTSA zone is likely to develop a mix of uses more quickly.
The City of Milwaukie may take other measures to limit the growth of single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips generated by NMIA uses. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies that leverage the advantageous location of the Tacoma Station MAX stop can help reduce reliance on the SOV. TDM can be generally defined as strategies to increase the occupancy rate of private vehicles or the utilization of alternative travel modes, times of travel, or locations of work. These include employer sponsored transit fares, carpool organization and bicycle facilities. TDM is discussed in detail in the TDM/Parking Plan for this project. TDM strategies are most effective if they can be administered at some level for all land use types in an area. This coordination is typically organized by the creation of a Transportation Management Association (TMA). Based on the potential for increased trip generation in some subareas, as well as meeting the requirements for a 30% trip reduction in the station area, it is recommended that a TMA is created for the study area.

Estimated Trip Distribution
If additional trips are generated by zoning changes, they will likely follow the distribution pattern shown in Figure 2. This distribution was derived from the Metro regional travel demand model for the 2040 PM peak hour, which would be the most relevant year and time period for further TPR analysis. As shown, the majority of the trips from the model transportation analysis zone (TAZ) that most closely corresponds with the NMIA will use Highway 99E to travel north or south, with many of the trips bound for Tacoma Street eastbound or Highway 224 eastbound (some by way of SE 17th Avenue).
The study area intersections likely to experience failing conditions and trigger TPR mitigation under a scenario with net new trip generation include the Highway 99E intersections at Tacoma Street, Ochoco Street, Milport Street, and Harrison Street. The percentage of new trips likely to impact these intersections, based on the distribution, are 45%, 45%, 30%, and 30%, respectively.

SUBJECT: NMIA CATALYST SITE OUTLINE (DEVELOPMENT FEASIBILITY STUDY)
1 Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the development feasibility analysis
performed by ECONorthwest for the North Milwaukie Industrial Area (NMIA) project1.
ECONorthwest conducted feasibility analyses to inform decision-making and policy direction
for the NMIA project. Analyses were conducted at two different scales using multiple
techniques. First, ECONorthwest used the MapCraft webtool to test development feasibility of a
multitude of building prototypes across the entire NMIA. Second, ECONorthwest took an in-
depth look into four sites in the NMIA to better understand the mechanics and nuances of
feasibility on specific properties. It is important to note that this analysis provides a snapshot in
time.
This memorandum is organized into three additional sections:
▪ Section Two, Summary of MapCraft Feasibility Analysis outlines the area wide
analysis ECONorthwest conducted using the MapCraft webtool.
▪ Section Three, Catalytic Site Analyses provides detail into the in-depth analyses
conducted on four sites in the NMIA.
▪ Section Four, Summary of Findings and Recommendations summarizes the findings of
the analyses conducted and provides detail on how the public sector can encourage
development or redevelopment that is aligned with the NMIA vision.
These analyses provide an opportunity to understand how to plan for desired outcomes and
how to avoid undesired development types. Currently, the market realities of the NMIA area
do not support the vision developed through the framework planning process. The analyses
presented here are snapshots of arms-length market rate transactions using current comparable
projects. However, development projects outside of the bounds of the market (e.g. a build-to-

change the market feasibility of other portions of the NMIA.
Despite the results of the analyses that show that new development would be difficult to
achieve in the NMIA in today’s market, there are steps that can be taken to reach the
Framework Plan goals. These can include:
• Supporting interim implementation that focuses on retrofits and adaptive reuse of
existing buildings until new development is market feasible;
• Seeking strategic interventions with modestly size properties to catalyze future
development; and
• Maintaining a clear vision of the NMIA’s desired future through consistent policies,
incentive programs, and clear messaging.
2 NMIA MapCraft Feasibility Analysis
The consultant team employed the MapCraft Labs webtool to conduct an area-wide feasibility
analysis for the NMIA project. This section describes the MapCraft Labs setup process, analysis
conducted, findings and implications of those findings.
2.1 MapCraft Labs Application in NMIA
ECONorthwest utilized MapCraft’s Labs webtool (also referred to simply as “Labs”) to evaluate
the feasibility of development in the NMIA as part of the project’s Framework Plan process.
MapCraft Labs is the critical component of the methodology for assessing development
feasibility across the area and a first-step analysis prior to deep-dive feasibility assessments of
several sites. The NMIA Feasibility Lab was configured to assess parcel-level development
opportunities across the NMIA. Furthermore, the consultant team developed a comprehensive
set of Labs scenarios to test the potential for the adaptive reuse or retrofit of existing buildings
in the NMIA into other desired uses as outlined in the NMIA vision.
RS291

MapCraft Labs works by applying vetted real estate industry financial modeling techniques to
assess development feasibility under varied policy options, future public investment scenarios,
and market environments. MapCraft Labs allows on-the-fly sensitivity analyses of policy and
market changes with immediate results in intuitive color-coded maps.
For the NMIA MapCraft Lab, the consultant team gathered area inputs and market
assumptions, developed prototypes, and created scenarios to test future policy and
infrastructure changes. Inputs and scenarios were presented to the NMIA Project Management
Team (PMT) who helped refine the inputs and clarify the outputs.
The primary metric used to assess development feasibility in the NMIA MapCraft Lab is
residual land value (RLV). Residual land value is the value produced by a development that can
be spent by a developer on the acquisition of a property. Basically, the income generated from a
development project is calculated using a targeted return threshold, with RLV as an output. It is
a way of asking a question a developer might ask - “if I have a certain development type in
mind, how much can I pay to acquire the property to build it?” Feasibility is broadly defined as
the ability of a development project to overcome financial hurdles and attract investment.
2.2 NMIA MapCraft Labs Inputs
The analysis rests on several inputs and assumptions critical to assessing the feasibility of
development and potential land use changes. ECONorthwest gathered the following inputs to
be directly input into the NMIA MapCraft Lab:

All development scenarios, unless otherwise noted, model arms-length market rate
transactions. The model uses the above inputs as a baseline for understanding of the market
conditions in the NMIA. Models can only be as accurate as the inputs provided; should assessor
data, for example, not accurately reflect real market values, then the model will be off as well.
Inaccuracy of data inputs can present significant challenges to the analysis, even if these data
are the best available. Careful research, including stakeholder interviews, has gone into
building a model that is as accurate as possible.
2.3 NMIA MapCraft Labs Prototypes
The prototypes fall into three primary development categories: industrial, office, and
multifamily as shown in Exhibit 3. Both the office and multifamily categories contain some
mixed-use prototypes. These are prototypical buildings that contain either office or multifamily
residential as well as a retail component. The prototypes generally model buildings that exist or
are under construction in the Portland region. We have also included two specific prototypes
requested by the NMIA PMT. These include vertical manufacturing buildings and models that
mimic the redevelopment of current buildings within the NMIA into maker space.
2.3.1 Industrial Prototypes
▪ Manufacturing – These buildings host companies that fabricate, transform, or assemble
RS293
ECONorthwest 5
physical resources into physical goods. Building design can vary significantly for
manufacturing buildings as assembly lines and specifications for heavy equipment often
dictate building size, shape, and site orientation.
Manufacturing buildings can be more expensive to construct than other industrial
buildings. Reinforced flooring for heavy equipment loads, heavy power requirements,
air-conditioned spaces, and crane-ways all add to construction cost.
For the NMIA, we modeled manufacturing buildings that vary in size and
configuration. Like almost all industrial buildings, manufacturing buildings are
typically only one story in height. The visioning of the future NMIA included multistory
manufacturing buildings. We have modeled these prototypes as well.
▪ Distribution – Distribution warehouses are essentially single-story square structures
with many truck level doors. These buildings are relatively inexpensive to construct;
most are either metal frame or concrete tilt-up construction. Interior build-out is
minimal, with only modest heating and cooling systems necessary. Office build-out is
much reduced from other industrial buildings. Office build-out in distribution buildings
typically occupies 10 percent or less of the interior space.
For the NMIA, we modeled several distribution buildings that represent industry
standard sizes and configurations.
▪ Warehouse – The warehouse category of industrial buildings varies more than any other
type of industrial building. These buildings are used for light manufacturing, services,
large-scale storage, and small-scale distribution businesses. The level of office build-out
typically ranges from 10 to 20 percent, but can be up to 50 percent for smaller facilities.
These buildings can be single tenant or multitenant. Due to their high employment
occupancy and often a need for outdoor space to park service vehicles, trailers, or other
equipment, many warehouses demand more parking and yard space than other
industrial buildings.
For the NMIA, we modeled a range of warehouse buildings that represent single and
multitenant buildings.
▪ Flex Warehouse – Flex warehouse buildings differ from typical industrial warehouses
due to their appearance (more office like) and their high percent of interior office build-
out. Clusters of flex warehouses are synonymous with “business parks.” The term “flex”
comes from the flexibility of the interior spaces to expand or contract to the needs of the
tenants. Almost all flex office buildings are multitenant and feature interior office build-
out ranging from 30 to 90 percent of the interior space. Outdoor yard space is minimal,
however because flex office buildings typically have the highest employee occupancy of
any industrial type, large parking areas are necessary.
For the NMIA, we modeled flex warehouse building types that are common in the
Portland industrial market.
RS294
ECONorthwest 6
2.3.2 Office Prototypes
▪ General Office - Office building types vary significantly by location. For example, urban
office spaces are usually found in multi-story buildings with integrated and/or
underground parking. The associated construction costs and rents are subsequently
higher for urban office spaces and lower for suburban office spaces. Additionally, office
spaces have “classes” which correlate to construction type, cost, type of parking
supplied, and market rent. A Class A office building for example will have much better
interior finishes and exterior appearance, for which a cost premium is demanded.
For the NMIA, we modeled a range of suburban and urban office spaces ranging from a
Class B suburban, one-story buildings with only surface parking to a Class A downtown
office tower with only underground parking.
▪ Mixed Use Office - Mixed use commercial is a similar category of prototypes to that of
office, but with the addition of retail on the ground floor.
For the NMIA, we modeled a subset of the range of office prototypes where it was
appropriate to add retail (e.g. towers, mid-rise buildings). In addition to the inputs for
office (e.g. construction costs, rents), the mixed-use commercial prototypes have
additional inputs for the retail component.
2.3.3 Residential Prototypes
▪ Multifamily Residential - Multifamily residential consists of any commonly-built
construction type that contains multiple residences. These different construction types
include, but are not limited to, Type-I towers, mid-rise buildings with a concrete podium
and stick-built (wood frame construction) apartments above, stick-built townhomes, and
stick-built duplexes. Associated with these construction types is a mix of parking
construction that includes underground, integrated structure, tuck-under, and surface
parking. The building design and incorporation of parking can vary drastically by
region and regulatory environment.
For the NMIA, we modeled a range of residential types (towers down to duplex homes)
with inputs associated with for-rent and for-sale properties (e.g. high construction costs
with for-sale).
▪ Mixed Use Residential - Mixed use residential is a similar category of prototypes to that
of multifamily residential, but with the addition of commercial uses on the ground floor.
For the NMIA, we modeled a subset of the range of multifamily residential where it was
appropriate to add retail (e.g. towers, mid-rise buildings). In addition to the inputs for
residential (e.g. construction costs, rents), the mixed-use residential prototypes have
additional inputs for the retail component.
2.4 Retrofit Prototypes
▪ Industrial Retrofits - Retrofits are redevelopments of existing buildings. In Mapcraft,
we’re able to model retrofit prototypes by using data from existing properties and
RS295
ECONorthwest 7
making assumptions about how they would be redeveloped. For the NMIA, we have
developed two retrofit prototypes: Maker Space, and Tech Office. These two prototypes
mimic the two kinds of redevelopment of existing industrial buildings that is occurring
in other parts of the Portland region. As will be discussed in the scenarios section of this
report, we also further modified these prototypes to try to better understand retrofits
that are currently taking place in the NMIA.
o Maker Space: Maker Space is closely aligned with manufacturing or flex space
and in the current market has similar rents, vacancies, and absorption rates, but
there is a spectrum of different levels of quality and amenities resulting in higher
and lower-cost retrofits.
o Tech Office: Tech Office draws from data on creative office spaces throughout
the Portland office market. Rents tend to be close to Class A rents, despite starkly
different internal space buildouts.

2.5 NMIA Mapcraft Analysis
The purpose of the MapCraft analysis was to:
▪ Evaluate the feasibility of a range of development prototypes across the NMIA.
▪ To test the impacts of future investment scenarios
▪ To identify locations where development is most likely to occur
To accomplish this task ECONorthwest started by developing several scenarios to model
current, future, and hypothetical development conditions. The first scenario is titled, “Let the
Market Decide.”
The Let the Market Decide scenario considered the NMIA as if there were no land use
regulations in place. The scenario asks the question, “What would be built in the current market
if developers had no land use restrictions at all?” This scenario provides an example of the
highest and best use for each property, without any regulatory filter.
Exhibit 4 shows the results of the Let the Market Decide Scenario.
RS298
ECONorthwest 10
Exhibit 4. Output from "Let the Market Decide" Scenario
The most feasible building prototype category in this scenario is residential. However, as can
been seen in the exhibit above, residential prototypes are only feasible in select areas of the
NMIA (areas in green). Most parcels in the NMIA cannot be feasibly developed by any of the
development prototypes (areas in red). A second MapCraft scenario used the same assumptions
and inputs as the Let the Market Decide scenario, but with a filter for current land use
restrictions. In this second scenario the green areas of the map fall off, with the exception of
parcels to the north that are located closer to the transit station.
Having found that new construction of almost all development prototypes were not feasible
and that residential prototypes were the most likely to occur (a land use that, while allowed in
select locations is not the primary focus of the area) the consultant team shifted to investigate
development types that are seen in the market today, meet the vision and goals of the project,
and/or are likely to occur in the near term.
2.5.1 Retrofit Scenarios
The NMIA today has almost full occupancy of its commercial space. In the current market, there
are several businesses that have invested heavily in their properties, others that only made
minimal structural improvements to their properties, and a few that are conducting low-cost
adaptive reuse of existing buildings.
The two prototypes the consultant team initially created to model retrofit space – maker space
and tech office - are not feasible in the NMIA today with current market conditions. As
RS299
ECONorthwest 11
described earlier in this section, these prototypes are intended to mimic higher-cost build-outs
of industrial space that is occurring in Portland’s inner eastside. Exhibit 5 below illustrates the
lack of feasibility of industrial prototypes generally, including these two retrofit prototypes.
Exhibit 5. Industrial Output from "Let the Market Decide"
Realizing that there are retrofits of existing space occurring in the NMIA today such as
Northwest Flex Space at 10100 SE Main Street and 1887 SE Milport Road2, the consultant team
attempted to model this current market activity by making changes to the two retrofit
prototypes.
Making one change in the assumptions for these prototypes yields a slightly different result.
Moving the retrofit redevelopment cost from the baseline assumption of $80 per square foot,
down to $20 per square foot enables low-cost retrofits to be feasible on a few select parcels. This
is analogous to minimal improvement and division of existing warehouse space in return for
slightly higher rents. Exhibit 6 illustrates this difference from the infeasibility of higher-cost
retrofits shown in Exhibit 5 to lower-cost retrofits.
2 These parcels do not show up as feasible in the model even though we know that there are retrofits of these spaces
currently taking place. This is due to that fact that we do not have full knowledge of the terms and conditions of the
new leases, the buildings’ conditions and retrofit costs, or other expenses incurred by the property or business
owners. However, this could be an indicator that there may be more opportunity for this type of use than what the
model shows within the district.
RS300
ECONorthwest 12
Exhibit 6. Low-Cost Adaptive Reuse Scenario
Making additional changes to required parking ratios further adds to retrofit feasibility, but still
only on select parcels. Information gathered from property owners currently redeveloping
properties in the NMIA indicate that a lack of current on-site and area-wide parking is an issue
for their businesses. Retrofitting buildings to a more employee dense use will only exacerbate
this problem, leading to less competitiveness for NMIA spaces. The parking issue is not only a
regulatory challenge, but a physical and market issue. Existing NMIA properties have large site
coverage ratios, leaving little space for parking. Parking regulations are lenient and flexible, but
many current and prospective businesses demand more parking than is available or required by
the regulations.
Generally, the combination of low market rents, the high opportunity cost to redevelop existing
properties (most of which have rent paying tenants), and the parking necessary to support
higher intensity retrofit uses, are the primary inhibitors to retrofits as well as other new
development types in the NMIA.
2.5.2 Feasibility Gaps
The previous MapCraft exhibits showed where development prototypes were feasible or
infeasible, but provided no indication of how far the infeasible prototypes were from being
viable projects.
The following two exhibits present the range of the feasibility gap for the two retrofit
prototypes – maker space and warehouse, using the lower redevelopment retrofit cost
($20/Square Foot). The gap at the parcel level ranges from zero dollars (feasible) up to nine
RS301
ECONorthwest 13
million dollars for larger and more valuable parcels for the Retrofit Maker Space prototype.
There is a similar range for the Retrofit Warehouse Prototype.
Exhibit 7. Retrofit Maker Space Feasibility Gaps
Exhibit 8. Retrofit Warehouse Feasibility Gaps
RS302
ECONorthwest 14
These are significantly large gaps for development to overcome. Exhibit 9 shows the feasibility
gaps on a per square foot basis for each general development type across the NMIA. After
residential prototypes, retrofit prototypes are the closest to feasibility, followed by office,
mixed-use commercial, warehouse, and manufacturing.
Exhibit 9. General Development Types - Feasibility Gaps (Dollar per Square Foot)
How does this dollar per square foot feasibility gap look at the site level? Exhibit 10 below
identifies a warehouse property on the west side of the NMIA. The exhibit shows the feasibility
gap range for a 20,000 square foot manufacturing prototype. This development type is infeasible
on the site and across the NMIA.

Exhibit 10. Example Warehouse Property
The following exhibit displays the feasibility gap range for the identified warehouse site. The
gap ranges from around $500,000 for a warehouse retrofit to millions of dollars for office or
manufacturing prototypes, as also illustrated in Exhibit 11.

2.5.3 Key Findings from MapCraft Labs
The area-wide MapCraft Labs analysis showed that most new development in the NMIA is
infeasible. After low-intensity residential (a building type out-of-sync with the vision of the
NMIA) retrofitting existing buildings with low cost improvements is the next most feasible
prototype. New construction prototypes, situations where a developer purchases a property,
razes existing structures, and builds a new building are, by and large, infeasible without
significant subsidy. The primary takeaways from the MapCraft Labs exercise are:
▪ Zone for residential, get residential – Land use restrictions play an important role in
shaping the future of the NMIA. Low intensity residential prototypes were shown to be
the most feasible prototypes on many parcels. To maintain the employment, industrial,
and manufacturing focus of the area, restrictive zoning should continue to be employed
and enforced.
▪ Parking is a major barrier to investment – Parking was shown to restrict retrofit
prototypes and also contributed significantly to the infeasibility of new development.
Developing a parking strategy and management plan will assist with future
reinvestment in the area.
▪ Smaller sites offer the best opportunities for investment – Larger sites in the NMIA
have considerable value and would require major investments to redevelop. Conversely,
smaller sites may offer opportunities for reinvestment that only require inexpensive
subsidies.
RS305
ECONorthwest 17
▪ Most prototypes have a feasibility gap – Some type of subsidy would be needed to
make most development prototypes feasible, but the most feasible and desired
prototype include retrofit as this point in time.
3 Catalytic Site Analyses
3.1.1 Framework
The catalytic sites were chosen based on specific attributes, including the variety of locations
within the NMIA, proximity to other assets like nearby neighborhoods or infrastructure,
property ownership diversity (including publicly and privately owned), and expressed
willingness to redevelop. For each of the sites, the consultant team considered multiple
development types that fit with the unique characteristics of each site. The selection of
development types was informed by the results of the MapCraft analysis, which led to some
sites having a greater sampling of hypothetical industrial developments and others a greater
representation of mixed-use developments.
The team analyzed four sites in the NMIA. These are identified in the map below and further
referenced by their current ownership or use - Goodwill, ODOT, TriMet, and Mill End.
RS306
ECONorthwest 18
Exhibit 12. NMIA Catalytic Sites
On each of the catalyst sites the consultant team analyzed the existing use as the baseline
scenario followed by a minor rehabilitation (if applicable – not used on vacant sites), and a
couple of new developments ranging from industrial to mixed-use residential.
The inputs for market demand and assumptions for the catalytic site analyses were derived
from the existing conditions analysis conducted for the NMIA. We modified the inputs, when
appropriate, for the various developments. For example, rents for the baseline analysis were
lower than the average, while rents for new construction were higher than the average.
The consultant team summarized the typical inputs used for market demand, along with the
total range of the values, and compared those values to the market demand in central Portland.
RS307
ECONorthwest 19
Exhibit 13. Market Demand Assumptions
Similarly, we modeled the construction costs based on the existing data we acquired during the
MapCraft Labs phase and then slightly modified these costs where appropriate. The largest
range of costs was for the retrofit developments. For instance, on the ODOT site, retrofitting the
existing historic building for a commercial use would cost a different amount than retrofitting
the garages that currently exist on the rest of the site.
Exhibit 14. Typical Construction Costs
The analysis of each development, across all sites, was based on a one-year construction period
with a ten-year hold and sale at the end of year ten. We also assumed a two-year stabilization
period with vacancies higher in year one than in year three. Most importantly, we assumed that
for every development the owner and/or developer was leasing to a third party in an arms-
length transaction.
The results of our analyses consider the following measures of development feasibility:
● Construction Cost – This is the total cost to construct the project. This number excludes
land value but includes hard costs, soft costs (e.g. design fees, contingency), and the
developer fee.
● Rate of Return – This is the rate of return the investors would receive based on each
project’s cash flow.
● Residual Land Value – This is the value of the land, derived from the income potential
of the development.
● Financing Gap – This is the total gap in funding sources. To make the development
RS308
ECONorthwest 20
feasible, this gap would need to be closed, likely through a subsidy. This value takes into
consideration the likely market transaction value.
● Equity Required – This is the total amount of money required from the investors. If
investors were to contribute more money to the deal (for instance, to eliminate the
financing gap) they would receive a lower, and in most cases negative, return on their
investment.
We chose to assess each scenario with and without land price because it is illustrative to review
the feasibility at a minimum land value and then at the likely market transaction value.
Additionally, for each new development we assumed that the minimum internal rate of return
needed to attract equity was 14 percent - holding this value constant was important for equally
comparing the development options.
After analyzing each development scenario on each catalytic site, and identifying any potential
development feasibility gap, we compared the gap to the potential benefits of job growth and
tax revenue. We used existing data from prior ECONorthwest research on the average number
of jobs per unit of different uses (e.g. square feet of use, or leasable apartment unit). The table
below shows the average jobs per use, which we adjusted where appropriate (e.g. boutique
retail has less employees than a restaurant use). We also collected tax information from
Clackamas County to approximate the new revenue.
Exhibit 15. Typical Amount of Jobs by Use
3.1.2 Site Analyses
The Goodwill Site, 1740 SE Ochoco Street
The Goodwill site is in the northwest corner of the NMIA and is also currently occupied by
Darigold, close to the amenity-rich Sellwood neighborhood although furthest away from
downtown Milwaukie.
RS309
ECONorthwest 21
Exhibit 16. Map of Goodwill Site
We analyzed the following development types on the Goodwill site:
● Baseline – assumed the existing owner, and use as a Goodwill retail location and
Darigold warehouse, remained the same.
● Minor Rehab – assumed the existing owner remained the same, but took out a loan to
complete some critical upgrades (at $20 per square foot), which led to slightly higher
rents.
● Creative Maker Space – assumed a new owner purchased the land, retrofitted the
building to address necessary upgrades and subdivide into smaller leasable spaces, and
subsequently achieved higher than market rents for the spaces.
● Mixed Use Residential – assumed a new owner purchased the land, demolished the
existing buildings, and constructed both a 5-story mixed-use building with 176 units
(retail on the ground floor) on the corner of the site and 4-story stick apartments with
675 units on the rest of the site. We modeled the maximum of the existing market rents.
● Flex Industrial – assumed a new owner purchased the land, demolished the existing
buildings, and constructed a new flex industrial warehouse with 50% of the interior
devoted to office use. We assumed a new building would achieve slightly higher rents
than other industrial spaces in the NMIA.
RS310
ECONorthwest 22
The results of this analysis show that for the new development options, if the land price was
excluded, the developer of the “Creative Maker Space” would be able to pay $6.3 million
dollars, while the developer of the “Mixed Use Residential” or “Flex Industrial” would face a
feasibility gap of $25.1 million dollars and $4.3 million dollars respectively.
If the land price was factored in, and based on the value of the highest and best use on the site
(in this case the baseline at $10.5 million dollars), then the developer would have a total gap of
$4.1 million to build “Creative Maker Space”, $34.6 million to build “Mixed Use Residential”,
and $14.8 million to build “Flex Industrial”. In addition to these feasibility gaps, the investors
would need to come up with a range of equity contributions to get these projects to completion.
In some cases, like “Mixed Use Residential”, the equity required of the development exceeds
current equity contributions to new tower projects in Downtown Portland. This means that
“Mixed Use Residential” would need to be more compelling than a new development in
downtown in order to attract institutional equity.
Exhibit 17. Feasibility Results for the Goodwill Site
The subsidy for “Creative Maker Space” and “Flex Industrial” would result in the creation of
approximately 184 jobs and 327 jobs respectively, while demolishing the Goodwill building and
developing residential would result in a loss of approximately 96 jobs.
Exhibit 18. Benefits of New Development on the Goodwill Site
The ODOT Site, 9002 SE McLoughlin Blvd
The ODOT site is located in the eastern half of the NMIA, and has great visibility from
McLoughlin Boulevard. It currently houses a historic Works Progress Administration-era
building eligible for the National Registry and maintenance sheds and storage for ODOT
facilities.
RS311
ECONorthwest 23
Exhibit 19. Map of ODOT Site
On the ODOT site, we analyzed the following:
● Baseline – assumed the existing owner, ODOT, and use as maintenance yard and
storage, remain the same.
● Minor Rehab – assumed the existing owner remained the same, but leases space to a
user who took out a loan to complete some critical upgrades (at $20 per square foot),
which led to slightly higher rents.
● Commercial and Manufacturing – assumed a new owner purchased the land,
retrofitted the buildings to provide retail/office space, retrofitted the garages to be
suitable for manufacturing and built a small, new industrial building, or a restaurant
and brewery. We also assumed this was a build-to-suit development, so it achieved
higher than market rents as well as lower vacancies.
● Commercial and Manufacturing (Alternate) – assumed the same physical development
as the previous “Commercial and Manufacturing” scenario, but that the purchaser
absorbed all development costs. We also assumed the tenant was willing to pay market
rents equivalent to those achieved in Portland’s Central Eastside, instead of the market
rents in the NMIA. This development served as an approximation of the best-case
scenario for an arms-length transaction.
● Light Manufacturing – assumed a new owner purchased the land, demolished the
RS312
ECONorthwest 24
existing buildings, and constructed a new manufacturing building with 15% of the
interior devoted to office use. We assumed a new building would achieve slightly higher
rents than other industrial spaces in the NMIA.
The results of this analysis show that for the new development options, if the land price was
excluded, the developer and occupant of the “Commercial and Manufacturing (Alternate)”
would be able to pay $626,000 dollars, while the developer of the “Commercial and
Manufacturing” or “Light Manufacturing” would face a feasibility gap of $1.3 million dollars
and $7.3 million dollars respectively.
If the land price was factored in, and based on the value of the highest and best use on the site
(in this case the Minor Rehab at $2.4 million dollars), then the developer would face a gap of
$1.8 million to build “Commercial and Manufacturing (Alternate)”, $3.8 million to build
“Commercial and Manufacturing”, and $9.7 million to build “Light Manufacturing”. In
addition to these feasibility gaps, the investors would need to come up with a range of equity
contributions, $3.2 million to $8.3 million, to get these new development projects to completion.
It is important to note that if the National Registry eligibility of the historic building on site was
realized, it would influence the economics of a rehab through a freeze of the property tax and a
20% income tax credit.
Exhibit 20. Feasibility Results for the ODOT Site
The subsidy for the “Commercial and Manufacturing” developments would result in the
creation of approximately 78 jobs and the “Light Manufacturing” would result in 97 jobs.
Exhibit 21. Benefits of New Development on the ODOT Site
The Mill End Site, 9701 SE McLoughlin Blvd
The Mill End site is located in the western half of the NMIA, and has great visibility from
McLoughlin Boulevard. It is currently occupied by Mill End Store, a fabric retailer.
RS313
ECONorthwest 25
Exhibit 22. Map of Mill End Site
On the Mill End site, we analyzed the following:
● Baseline – assumed the existing owner, Mill End, leases out the space, via an arms-
length transaction, to a new warehouse tenant3.
● Minor Rehab – assumed the existing owner remained the same, but took out a loan to
complete some upgrades (at $20 per square foot), which led to slightly higher rents from
a new warehouse tenant.
● MultiStory Industrial Office – assumed a new owner purchased the land, demolished
the existing building, and constructed a new multi-story industrial building with 50% of
the interior devoted to office use. We assumed a new building would achieve slightly
higher rents than other industrial spaces in the NMIA.
● Commercial and Manufacturing – assumed a new owner purchased the land and
3 Our baseline scenario is structured differently than the actual real estate lease structure at the Mill End property
today. We have used the assumption that the business and the property owner are two different entities. In actuality
these entities are one and the same. Commonly, when businesses own their own real estate, their business income
and expenses gets intertwined with those of the real property. This is difficult to model, as the comingling of cash
flows can be structured quite differently than an arm’s length market transaction. Our baseline scenario, with
separate business and property owners, is a better model for how an independent property owner would approach
their property in today’s market.
RS314
ECONorthwest 26
retrofitted the building to provide retail/office space and new manufacturing
capabilities. We also assumed this was a build-to-suit development, so it achieved
higher than market rents as well as lower vacancies.
The results of this analysis show that for the new development options, if the land price was
excluded, the developer of the “MultiStory Industrial Office” would face a feasibility gap of $8
million dollars while the developer of the “Commercial and Manufacturing” retrofit would face
a gap of only $137,760.
If the land price was factored in, and based on the value of the highest and best use on the site
(in this case the Baseline at $2.5 million dollars), then the developer would have a gap of $10.5
million to build “MultiStory Industrial Office” and $3.8 million to retrofit the building to
“Commercial and Manufacturing.” An important factor to note about the multi-story
development on the Mill End site is that the land size, and subsequent value, is relatively small
which makes the subsidy for this development less than it might be on a different site.
In addition to these feasibility gaps, the investors would need to come up with either $18.4
million or $3.8 million respectively in equity to get these projects to completion.
Exhibit 23. Feasibility Results for the Mill End Site
The subsidy for the “MultiStory Industrial Office” development would result in the creation of
approximately 274 jobs.
Exhibit 24. Benefits of New Development on the Mill End Site
The TriMet Site, 9600 SE Main Street
The TriMet site is located in the eastern half of the NMIA, has great visibility from McLoughlin
Boulevard, and is currently a TriMet Park and Ride.
RS315
ECONorthwest 27
Exhibit 25. Map of TriMet Site
On the TriMet site, we analyzed the following:
● Minor Rehab – Parking low– assumed the use as a parking lot remains the same but
that the owner, TriMet, improved the lot with charging stations and rented each parking
stall for $1 per day.
● Minor Rehab – Parking high – assumed the existing use as a parking lot remains the
same but that the owner, TriMet, improved the lot with charging stations and rented
each parking stall for $2 per day.
● Warehouse – assumed a new owner purchased the land, and constructed a new
warehouse building with 30% of the interior devoted to office use. We assumed a new
building would achieve slightly higher rents than other industrial spaces in the NMIA.
● Light Manufacturing – assumed a new owner purchased the land, and constructed a
new manufacturing building with 15% of the interior devoted to office use. We assumed
a new building would achieve slightly higher rents than other industrial spaces in the
NMIA.
The results of this analysis show that for the new development options, if the land price were
excluded, the developer of the “Warehouse” or “Light Manufacturing” would face a feasibility
gap of $1.3 million dollars and $4.7 million dollars respectively.
RS316
ECONorthwest 28
If the land price was factored in, and based on the value of the highest and best use on the site
(in this case the “Minor Rehab-Parking high” at $1.2 million dollars), then the developer would
need a total subsidy of $2.6 million to build the “Warehouse” and $6 million to build “Light
Manufacturing”. In addition to these feasibility gaps, the investors would need to come up with
$5.5 million in equity to get either of these new projects to completion.
Exhibit 26. Feasibility Results for the TriMet Site
The subsidy for the “Warehouse” development would result in the creation of approximately
110 jobs and the “Light Manufacturing” would result in 78 jobs.
Exhibit 27. Benefits of New Development on the TriMet Site
3.2 Potential Gap Financing Tools
Most of the development scenarios require gap financing to achieve feasibility. Filling the gap
for these projects could take several forms and come from several sources. Below is a list of
possible gap financing tools. Some of these tools and programs may only be applicable to
specific sites or certain uses. Also, we have added additional tools that the City should consider
for supporting business retention and recruitment as these strategies usually go hand in hand
with encouraging new development.
▪ Urban Renewal (Tax Increment Financing) - Tax increment finance revenues are
generated by the increase in total assessed value in an urban renewal district from the
time the district is first established. As property values increase in the district, the
increase in total property taxes (i.e., city, county, school portions) is used to pay off the
bonds. When the bonds are paid off the entire valuation is returned to the general
property tax rolls. Urban renewal funds can be invested in the form of low interest loans
and/or grants for a variety of capital investments including development gap financing.
▪ Microenterprise and Small Business Loans - Direct loans to help start-ups, micro-
enterprises and small businesses expand or become established. These loans could assist
target businesses interested in relocating to the NMIA
▪ Tenant Improvement Grants/Loans - Assist property owners and new business owners
with tenant improvements to the interiors of commercial spaces. Used for office and
RS317
ECONorthwest 29
industrial assistance in addition to retail. Funding can come from a variety of sources
including Urban Renewal and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) loans or
grants, tax exempt revenue bonds.
▪ System Development Charge (SDC) Financing and Credits - SDC financing enables
developers to stretch their SDC payment over time, thereby reducing upfront costs.
Alternately, credits allow developers to make necessary improvements to the site in lieu
of paying SDCs. Note that the City can control its own SDCs, but often small cities
manage them on behalf of other jurisdictions including the County and special districts.
▪ Electronic Commerce Zone - Qualifying businesses in the zone receive a credit against
the business's annual state income or corporate excise tax liability based on 25% of the
investment cost made in capital assets used in electronic-commerce operations.
▪ Enterprise Zone - Enterprise zones exempt businesses from local property taxes on new
investments for a specified amount of time (3-5 years). Qualified investments include a
new building/structure, structural modifications or additions, or newly installed
machinery and equipment may qualify for exemption but not land, previously used
property value and miscellaneous personal items. Eligible businesses include
manufacturers, processors, and shippers. Retail, construction, financial and certain other
defined activities are ineligible.
▪ Industrial Development Bonds - Tax-exempt bonds issued by the state of Oregon that
provides long-term financing for land, buildings and equipment for manufacturers.
▪ State of Oregon Strategic Investment Program - Exempts a portion of large capital
investments from property taxes, Most often used for manufacturing firms and other
"traded-sector" businesses.
▪ Land Banking – Land banking, when a public or non-profit entity acquires real property
with the intent to save it for a future use, is an advantageous tool for well capitalized
jurisdictions. Land banking can be used to hold key properties for either more valuable
future uses or those that may struggle to pencil in a higher valued market, i.e. affordable
housing projects.
▪ Brownfields Assistance – There are several regional, state, and federal grant programs
that provide environmental assessments, and pre-development assistance for sites that
are potentially contaminated. Many of these funds are flexible, enabling jurisdictions to
provide a range of planning and assessment services to private property owners.
▪ Vertical Housing Development Zone - Subsidizes "mixed-use" projects to encourage
dense development or redevelopment by providing a partial property tax exemption on
increased property value for qualified developments.
3.3 Developer Interview Summary
The feasibility analysis conducted for the North Milwaukie Industrial Area (NMIA) presented
comprehensive findings regarding near to long term possibilities for future development. The
RS318
ECONorthwest 30
consultant team invited development professionals to comment on the findings of the analysis,
and offer their reflections on the NMIA in general. The participants for this development
“reality check” were:
▪ Josh Fuhrer – Developer with experience in retail, industrial, and mixed-use projects.
Josh is also a former City Council Member for the City of Gresham, and the current head
of the Gresham Redevelopment Commission.
▪ Roy Kim – Developer with experience in land, subdivision, and mixed-use
development.
▪ Phil Hanshew, MAI – Managing Director of Integra Realty Resources (Portland office);
the largest commercial real estate appraisal firm in the U.S.
Interview comments are summarized below.
NMIA Opportunities
▪ The NMIA location is terrific given its proximity to downtown, access to light rail and
freeway linkages.
▪ There’s dwindling supply of industrial land in the region. The NMIA will continue to be
an attractive location for development.
▪ Distribution uses are a great fit because of location and access – hence the legacy users.
▪ Existing building floorplates are quite a bit larger than those in Inner SE Portland. This is
a huge benefit to distribution/logistics businesses.
▪ Large building footprints could serve as a niche for expanding startup to have space to
grow within the district.
▪ As to when [new development] happens, sooner than later. Five years, not 20 years,
especially given the dearth of industrial/employment land in the region (and land that,
again, is so well located).
▪ This area is not as strong for new high density development as Central Eastside, but
stronger than 217/Western Avenue. Hold on in the meanwhile. In the next market cycle,
there may well be a few bellwether projects – perhaps even a multi-story employment
use like the New York Building in NW Industrial. Multi-story distribution is only
happening in markets with much higher land values.
▪ There’s opportunity for businesses that don’t need to expand but need to be around
something cool. The challenge becomes creating a community “personality” that is
attractive and cool to these businesses.
▪ Preserve limited industrial land.
NMIA Constraints/Challenges
▪ Big hurdle to upgrade the area, to create higher density development, higher
concentration of jobs. Existing built environment a deterrent.
RS319
ECONorthwest 31
▪ Noise is a challenge with maker space. For that reason, it’s a difficult use to mix with
housing.
▪ Startups cannot pay high rents. When they’re successful they need to expand and if
there isn’t room for the expansion, they will need to move. (This is also an opportunity,
as there are a number of large existing buildings in the NMIA that could fit expanding
startups).
Development Feasibility
▪ The question is what/when will the tipping point be? The point at which the existing
buildings are no longer the highest and best use (today they are – ECO’s analysis
confirms that – nothing new pencils).
▪ Unlikely to see typical suburban industrial development, because these product types
grossly underutilize land.
▪ Industrial land in the NMIA is more and more valuable relative to buildings in the
NMIA. Once land becomes more valuable than a building on it, the property will flip to
a much more intense development type.
▪ Transition to maker space is already happening and is a good transitional use.
Encouraging Development
▪ What’s the vision for the area? What story does NMIA want to tell? Is there a specific
industry or sector? Could be a configuration of space and/or an industry. Without that,
development is going to feel random.
▪ Engage with long-term property owners to create a legacy to move forward
▪ If you’re looking for more intensive uses, focus manufacturing to the east, more
flexibility to the west. That would make it more attractive for redevelopment.
▪ City’s backstopping loans is an attractive option for developers, but there are some legal
limitations that make these programs difficult to implement.
▪ Allow a certain percentage of the property to be self-storage as long as it’s not the focal
point of the development. This would help with development feasibility.
▪ Destination retail/industrial - Rebuilding Center or similar anchor user that can draw
people in is needed. These uses are unique and tell a story. Think Hippo hardware.
Could you rethink the hardware store in the NMIA?
▪ Should look at the most scenic area for housing as a part of a mix of uses. The question is
how to not turn away industrial uses. More of a design question.
▪ Locating housing near downtown Milwaukie will feed and complement what’s happing
there today.
▪ There’s a lot of development risk for industrial projects that is wrapped up in the
entitlement process. The City holds the keys to this process and therefore has some
ability to lessen this risk and encourage development.
RS320
ECONorthwest 32
▪ Maker space can have difficult economics. Gresham has found a way to make it work in
new development through gap financing (via Urban Renewal).
▪ Can a shuttle service assist NMIA employee access to the area from centralized parking
or light rail?
4 Summary of Findings and Recommendations for
Framework Plan
The consultant team conducted two levels of development feasibility analyses for the North
Milwaukie Industrial Area. First, the consultant team used the MapCraft webtool to test
development feasibility of a multitude of building prototypes across the entire area. Second,
ECONorthwest took an in-depth look into four sites in the NMIA to better understand the
mechanics and nuances of feasibility on specific properties. Each analysis modeled arm’s length
transactions using current market inputs.
Based mainly on the value of both land and existing buildings, the area-wide MapCraft Labs
analysis showed that most new development in the NMIA is infeasible. After low-intensity
residential (a building type out of sync with the vision of the NMIA), retrofitting existing
buildings is the next most feasible prototype. New construction prototypes, situations where a
developer purchases a property, razes and existing structures, and builds a new building are by
and large infeasible without significant subsidy.
The second analysis, a deep-dive into the nuance of development on four specific potentially
catalytic properties, produced results consistent with the MapCraft Labs findings. New
development prototypes were shown to be infeasible without subsidies. The catalytic analysis
emphasized that, for many building owners, the best financial decision in the near term is to
conduct a minor retrofit of existing buildings. The balance of the low investment cost to
complete the retrofit, with the slight boost in achievable rent results in the best overall financial
outcome.
4.1.1 Recommendations
“The North Milwaukie Industrial Area capitalizes on the District’s strategic location that attracts
innovative and entrepreneurial businesses to create a hub for employment and manufacturing
that respects the natural environment. Existing and future businesses provide family-wage jobs
that are accessible by all modes of travel, and incorporate sustainable design that reduces demand
on citywide infrastructure while serving as a model in the region.” – NMIA Vision Statement
We must first acknowledge that the NMIA is already a hub for employment and manufacturing
with a high occupancy rate and relatively high employment density (currently at 9.5 jobs per
acre) when compared to other warehouse areas in the region. The City is striving to increase the
density through increased intensification of uses and new innovative uses as part of the NMIA
vision
RS321
ECONorthwest 33
The findings from the analyses have shown that new construction of desired employment
focused building types is unlikely to occur in the current market or in the near to mid-term.
Low-cost retrofits of existing buildings however, are already occurring in the area and have
proven to be feasible in the models employed in the analyses. The consultant team recommends
the following for achieving the NMIA’s vision as part of the Framework Plan:
1. Easy wins are low cost – Creating a parking management plan and hiring an area property
manager are low cost actions that can make a difference for current business and property
owners, especially those that are considering a reinvestment in their properties. In the near
term, the focus should be enhancing an already successful area and setting the stage for the
future. Other actions include; initiating a district funding strategy, conducting property
owner outreach (to both public and private property owners), branding and wayfinding
initiatives, and a reevaluation of zoning and parking strategies.
2. Set the stage for a “unicorn” project – Sometimes property owners sell land for less than
market value, and other times businesses are willing to pay more than a market rate to be in
a specific area. These situations happen, often times in locations like the NMIA where long
term property owners have a low basis in their buildings, but these developments are
difficult to model and impossible to predict. Increasing the likelihood that a “unicorn”
project happens in the NMIA will involve effective outreach with property and business
owners and identification of conditions to support a desired target sector. A new office
build-to-suit situation or a brewery that desires the NMIA location are possible soon, but
only if provided a subsidy (e.g. costs are lowered), or are willing to pay more than current
market rates. The City has the opportunity to make the case for these businesses to be in the
NMIA no matter what and be ready for a property owner that is able and willing to part
with the land for less than full value.
3. Maintain focus on goals and vision – The NMIA has a compelling vision for a vibrant
employment and manufacturing center. Maintaining focus on the area’s vision will reinforce
the area’s brand and strengthen the case for existing businesses to reinvest, and for new
businesses to move in. Maintaining focus involves conducting capital improvements that
are consistent with the vision, and opportunistically funding onsite and offsite
improvements that support core businesses. Most importantly, make sure that restrictive
policies preclude uses that are not compatible with the area’s vision and goals, and
encourage uses that complement and build upon the NMIA’s location and strengths.
4. Zone with care – If the city wants to continue industrial uses and discourage expanded
residential and/or other uses such as big box retail, zone appropriately to manage this
vision. But also allow some flexibility for innovative uses that can adapt and thrive as the
market changes to create more jobs and foster creative uses of the district.

Don Oman
Casa Bruno LLC
9304 SE Main Street
Milwaukie, Oregon 97222 February 5, 2018
To the Council :
I am writing you today to share my views on the proposed rules regarding the North Milwaukie Industrial zoning changes.
For twenty years I have operated my wholesale wine distribution and importing business in inner SE Portland. Nine days
ago we began operations out of our new distribution center in North Milwaukie at 9304 SE Main. We are excited to be
operating in this area for many reasons including its close proximity to the center (downtown Portland) of the tri-county
area where the majority of our customers operate .
During the last twenty years we have expanded our business to include 36 employees who sell and distribute nearly one
million bottles in Oregon each year. Our business ownership is based in two local families. Employees at Casa Bruno LLC are
well-compensated and from their first month of service receive health and dental care for themselves and their children. A
retirement plan is in place. Salaries begin at $30,000 for an untrained person in our business with three weeks of vacation
available in the first year of work. We have maintained a very reliable and growing workforce over the last twenty years.
It is not without some regret that we left our previous home in inner SE Portland, but we found ourselves unable to operate
any longer out of that area. The pressures of urban growth have made our previous neighborhood unworkable for our
business.
Inner SE Portland was once an area with numerous small and medium-sized businesses focusing on light manufacturing and
distribution. The produce distribution houses were at one time all centered there. Most of those businesses have now
gone. The city has not been successful at protecting small businesses in Inner SE Portland. Their commitment to the
business community of keeping the area free of retail has been unsuccessful. For years, small changes in what the city
allowed of businesses in the area allowed non-traditional development to find its way into the area. Parking has become
very difficult. Permitting has seen three price increases in as many years. Issues around homeless folks and various
encampments have also made it difficult to do business in the area. Housing, in general, has been a difficult issue
everywhere. Our business recognizes that many of the homeless have been driven out of their homes by the ever
increasing cost of houses and real estate .
But exchanging successful small and medium-sized businesses that employ people with living wages and good benefits for
housing and lower wage jobs is not a way to remedy this crisis. I urge you try to keep the north industrial area hospitable for
locally based businesses that provide good jobs for the people of Milwaukie. It is not an easy task. The pressures of rising
real estate values and the need for land from many sectors is formidable. It requires thoughtful leadership and forward
thinking planning to avoid the fate of the inner SE Portland. I moved my business here thinking that the next generation of
Casa Bruno LLC could maybe continue to build the business here in Milwaukie.
I urge you to plan for the long term, to build a community that has good jobs as well as good neighborhoods. Continuing to
preserve the North Milwaukie Industrial area for responsible businesses will be a positive step for the community.
Thank you for your consideration,
Don Oman
Partner, Casa Bruno LLC

Hello Peter,
Taylor Unterberg in the Metro Council Office informed me that you were seeking Metro’s endorsement of a 10‐year residential zoning overlay for the Deitrich’s property in the North Milwaukie Industrial Area.
2
The NMIA is not a designated Title 4 Land and so Metro would not challenge the Deitrich/Planning Commission’s proposed 10‐year overlay on grounds of a Functional Growth Plan conflict, but nor do we give our endorsement of it. Metro believes that the proposed Plan zoning (as currently written) is consistent with the stated goals of the NMIA Plan and the results of public outreach. Therefore, it would be best to refrain from invoking Metro’s support tonight as you make your case to Milwaukie City Council on the issue.
Thank you,
Rebecca Hamilton

Peter Stark, 2939 NW Cornell Rd, Portland
I am a licensed Architect in the State of Oregon and have also participated in many planning efforts including 20 plus years of planning in Portland's Central Eastside Industrial District and most recently on the NMIA Project Advisory Committee.
I am here on behalf of Nancy and Howard Dietrich and the Mill End Store in support of Planning Commission's proposal for a housing overlay on properties impacted by the floodplain.
Without this overlay, the city may loose a significant landmark business and eliminate hundreds of jobs currently in the floodplain.
The concern regarding the floodplain was first discussed during the NMIA meetings. There was also discussion to consider housing as a means to address the financial burden of development in floodplains.
I've called and confirmed there was 100% support for housing by NMIA members who could vote independent from City Councils directive to not include housing in the floodplain.
At this time we also have support from all the private businesses and property owners in the NMIA as well as the industrial businesses on the other side of Millport and 99E. Not to mention support from many of the prominent businesses in the downtown.
Planning Commission also agreed that an overlay would be a reasonable solution for these sites.
Why is this overlay necessary? Lets review what we know:
1) Both the NMIA consultant (EcoNW) and our own economist have confirmed multi-story industrial office will require $10-11M subsidy to be built.
2) Building in the floodplain, regardless of building height adds significant costs to the development- and in the case of the Mill End Store - that cost would be $3M.
3) Buildings in the floodplain will eventually be demolished due to flooding. This is certainly true for the Mill End Store given floodwaters were 4' high in the last flood.
4) Mixed use with housing will offset the substantial costs to elevate buildings in the floodplain.
5) Given the separation ofthe floodplain site from adjacent industrial businesses (by Milport, 99E and 224, housing proximate to Industrial is not an issue here.
Further- housing with industrial uses is already supported on the north end of the NMIA.
6) There is a shortage of housing in the city - and plenty of room for growth. Housing at this site will compliment other housing projects.
7) Unlike other properties in the NMIA that have limited potential for development, the owner of the Mill End Store is willing to commit resources to built high-rise development in the NMIA.
8) And as noted during the NMIA committee meetings - this site has the potential to be THE catalyst for development throughout this district.
9) Lastly, there is support from private businesses in the NMIA and the downtown as well as Planning Commission.
Consider the consequences with the proposed zoning without the overlay:
The area of the floodplain is a large area of the NMIA. If property in the floodplain doesn't have the zoning to create development opportunity- a large portion of the NMIA will become vacant with NO development No employment- derelict.
And Milwaukie would not only lose employment opportunity but one of its landmark businesses the Mill End Store.
We are concerned that this point is being lost.
Given the importance of economic and employment goals in the NMIA plan and the prominent success and community connection of the Mill End Store.
We urge Council to support Planning Commission proposal.
Thank you

• Few use rail
• Need amenities for employees
• New tenants are looking for 5,000-15,000 sf
• Office and warehouse/manufacturing space
Online Survey Results - Summary• Barriers to getting around the area
• NMIA is a light manufacturing, heavy truck, shipping oriented
district
• Vision for the area
– Light and advanced manufacturing
– Small business oriented and incubator spaces
• Diverse opinions on actions:
– Emphasis on employment and amenities
– Less support for residential
NMIA as an Employment District
• Milwaukie:
– 77% Residential zoning
– 18% Industrial zoning
• MUTSA Zone allows mixed-use
• Industrial with residential creates
conflict
• Industrial land is typically
constrained land
• NME Zone increases flexibility
Case StudiesPearl District
• 285 acres
• Historically = warehouses, light
industry, railroad yards
• Zoning history:
– 1980s = mixed-use,
– Today = high-rise condominiums;
warehouse-to-loft conversions
Case Studies
South Waterfront
• 33 acres
• High-rise district + OHSU on
former brownfield industrial
land
• Future: 2,600 residential
units, 1.5 million SF office,
200-room hotel, and 3 parks
Case Studies
Central Eastside
• 681 acres and 20,000+

• Delete the Tacoma Station Area Overlay Zone
• Code language consistent with the Commercial Mixed-
Use Zones
• Planning Commission recommendation: Milport Mixed-
Use Overlay
Permitted Uses and Development Standards
• Permitted uses generally reflect the existing zoning
– Office uses and limited commercial uses are permitted in NME
• Summary of development standards
– Establish key streets and urban design standards
– Include minimum setbacks; parking restrictions; frontage
occupancy
– Height bonus available
Design Standards
• Ground floor and street-facing windows and doors

exceed 50% of the existing floor area or demo/replace 50% of
the existing floor area
– NME: floor area additions (both interior and exterior) that
exceed 75% of the existing floor area or demo/replace 75% of

Key Questions for Council
• Should the NMIA include the Milport Mixed Use Overlay,
thereby allowing residential uses in the southwest
portion of the district?
– The Mill End Store, as a standalone retail use, is a non-
conforming use in the Manufacturing zone. Should this use (a
retail bulky fabric and textile sales use) be permitted outright in
the NME in its current location?
Floodplain Issues
• Properties in the MMU are in the
floodplain
• The floodplain code allows
reconstruction within the
floodplain if displacement is no
greater with the new construction.
Key Questions for Council
• Should the NMIA include the Milport Mixed Use Overlay,
thereby allowing residential uses in the southwest portion of
the district?
– The Mill End Store, as a standalone retail use, is a non-
conforming use in the Manufacturing zone. Should this use
(a retail bulky fabric and textile sales use) be permitted
outright in the NME in its current location?
Key Questions for Council

NMIA Plan?
• Are there any questions or concerns about the revisions to
the Comprehensive Plan or Transportation System Plan,
including compliance with Goal 12 – Transportation?

NMIA Economic Feasibility Analysis
• Retail rents from January-
October 2016 = average
$14.98/sf for Milwaukie; $19.72

Milwaukie; $5.13 in the NMIA
Milwaukie Market Analysis for Office Space
• Challenges to development in
the NMIA included lacking
amenities, a dated industrial
environment, fragmented
ownership, and relatively strong
economics for existing uses –
though it represents a low-cost
alternative to Portland in terms of
land prices.
Milwaukie Market Analysis for Office Space
• Vacancy rates in Milwaukie
area = peaked at 8.2%;
below 5.0% since late 2012
• Lease rates in Downtown
Milwaukie = $22.00-24.50
today, $26-29 NNN next two
years
