The proposed language would simply refer to screening and buffering requirements of the Washington County Community Development Code which contain specific standards for screening and buffering for each combination of abutting areas with different zoning. This change will provide greater certainty to the property owners and neighboring residents about the design and location of future development that would abut the 114 th neighborhood. This provision will lock in the minimum number of units required under the present zoning for the property, allowing for expansion of the commercial acreage on the property without reducing Washington County s residential growth capacity for the urban unincorporated area, and therefore maintaining the County s ability to comply with growth capacity targets set for the County in the Metro Urban Growth Management Functional Plan. Remove a requirement that the easternmost structures on the Teufel property must be single story. The area is proposed to be one of the three core areas of the Cedar Mill Town Center.
Development is proposed to balance pedestrian orientation with automobile access.
The text also allows for establishment of a retail garden center with an outdoor plant display area of limited size, representing the historic use of the Teufel property. Cedar Mill Creek and Falls would be deleted. References to parks and trails on the Teufel property, as called for by the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District Master Plans for Parks and Trails, are included in the text of ASC No. 4, however. This is to be one of the core areas of the Cedar Mill Town Center. The proposed text calls for new development in the area to be designed in a manner that encourages walking, bicycling and transit use in the area, consistent with design principles or standards of the County zoning ordinance.
