A. Purpose

 

Pedestrian access to and from residential neighborhoods, commercial activities, employment opportunities and transit stops is critical to the development of a transit-supportive and pedestrian-sensitive environment in Station Communities. Broad walkways connecting key streets directly to transit stops and activity centers will provide a pleasant environment for pedestrians, give visual indication as to the most direct route to transit and key neighborhood activity centers, and help ensure the sidewalk system has the capacity to adequately accommodate peak use. To provide pedestrians access, the whole Station Community should be linked by an integrated network of sidewalks that ensure linkages between the homes, businesses and transit stops within the Station Community. The sidewalks feeding into or running parallel with the broader walkways must be wide enough and must be constructed in a manner to ensure access to all residents of and visitors to the Station Community and, consequently, meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the intent of the Oregon Transportation Planning Rule.

B. Standards (1)

 

1. All new development or expansion of existing development on properties abutting the major pedestrian routes listed below, leading to light rail stations or to central commercial areas within the SCPAs shall incorporate, construct and dedicate or provide public easements for sidewalks, of the widths specified below. Except in those exceptio n areas listed in Sections (2), (3), (4) and (5) below, sidewalk improvements shall include a landscape strip, located between the back of the curb and the sidewalk, of not less than four feet (4') in width. Within the listed exception areas, sidewalk improvements shall include street trees planted in wells, with grates. If the existing public right-of-way is insufficient to accommodate such sidewalks and landscape strips, necessary dedications or easements shall be provided to the City prior to the issuance of building permits for the development or expansion. This requirement shall not apply to redevelopment or remodeling where the face of the existing building is not moved from its current position in relation to the street, and there is less than thirteen feet (13') from the face of the curb to the face of the existing building, in which case the dedication or easement shall be adjusted accordingly. Projects seeking approval through the Development Review process applicable to SCR-V and phased commercial, industrial and institutional process contained in Section 136.VII.B., may submit an alternative sidewalk development element during the Concept Development Plan phase of the process. (Amended by Ord. No. 4930/7-00.)

2. Within the Downtown SCPA, sidewalk improvements shall be eithe a minimum of twelve (12) feet in width, with street trees in wells (no planter strip); or eight (8) feet in width, with a minimum four (4) foot planter strip, on the street frontages illustrated on Figure 1. Sidewalks on streets not specified on Figure 1 shall be five (5) feet in width, with a minimum four (4) foot planter strip. (Amended by Ord. No. 4930/7-00, 5006/3-01 and 5973/7-11.)

3. Within the Fair Complex/Hawthorn Farm SCPA, sidewalk improvements shall be either twelve (12) feet in width, with street trees in wells (no planter strip); or eight (8) feet in width, with a minimum four (4) foot planter strip, on the street frontages illustrated on Figure 2. Sidewalks on streets not specified on Figure 2 shall be five (5) feet in width, with a minimum four (4) foot planter strip. (Amended by Ord. No. 4930/7-00 and 5006/3-01.)

4. Within the Orenco SCPA, sidewalk improvements shall be ei the r twelve (12) feet in width, with street trees in wells (no planter strip); or eight (8) feet in width, with a minimum four (4) foot planter strip, on the street frontages illustrated on Figure 3. Sidewalks on streets not specified on Figure 3 shall be five (5) feet in width, with a minimum four (4) foot planter strip. (Amended by Ord. No. 4930/7-00 and 5006/3-01.)

5. Within the 185 th /Quatama SCPA, sidewalk improvements shall be eight (8) feet in width, with a minimum four (4) foot planter strip, on the street frontages illustrated on Figure 4. Sidewalks on streets not specified on Figure 4 shall be five (5) feet in width, with a minimum four (4) foot planter strip. (Amended by Ord. No. 4930/7-00 and 5006/3-01.)

6. Sidewalks on all other streets and pedestrian ways within all SCPA Districts shall be constructed and dedicated or a public easement provided as part of any development and shall be a minimum of five feet (5') in width and shall also include a minimum four foot (4') wide landscape strip between the sidewalk and the back of curb.

7. All sidewalks shall meet and fully comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

8. Street furniture, street lighting poles, fire hydrants, traffic signals, parking meters, telephone booths, newspaper boxes, building protrusions, public utility access vaults, mailboxes, vending carts and stands, and the like shall not reduce the clear sidewalk width to less than five feet (5') in Station Community Planning Areas. If the location of such an obstacle would otherwise reduce the clear walking space to less than five feet (5') such obstacles shall be placed either within the landscape strip area, on the property behind the back edge of the sidewalk, or the width of the sidewalk adjusted accordingly to maintain the minimum clear walkway width called for by this subsection. (Amended by Ord. No. 5676/10-06.)

_____________________

(1) Where any street within a SCPA is under ODOT or Washington County jurisdiction at the time of development application, the street design is subject to County Standards and the approval of ODOT or the County Engineering Division. However, the components, options and design criteria listed shall constitute the City's comment to ODOT or the County on that aspect of the development application.
