FAQs

The Trip Generation and Distribution Description includes an estimate of the number of trip ends for each mode of travel (passenger vehicle, truck, walking, cycling, transit, etc.).  Trip generation estimates for all modes should be based on the character of the proposed development and the surrounding neighborhood, available regional data, and accepted national resources.  Passenger vehicle trip generation data from the current edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation should be used unless more appropriate data is available. 

If more than two truck trips per day are anticipated, include a detailed estimate of the number, vehicle size, and time of day of truck trips. The applicant will need to explain why the particular data and estimates used most accurately forecast the trip generation of the proposed development.

For proposed developments in industrial/manufacturing areas include a base trip generation in accordance with ITE 110 (General Light Industrial) development.  Staff may require and/or the developer may present a second scenario based on a different classification if it would more accurately reflect the proposed development.  The trip generation listed should reflect a reasonable ‘maximum traffic effect’ scenario under allowed zoning.

Trip distribution estimates should be based on historical data, existing and future traffic characteristics, vehicle tracking, available modeling data, and origin-destination data as available.  Estimates must be provided for all modes of travel.

If used, estimates of pass-by, internal, diverted-linked, and other types of trips should be based on commonly accepted standards (such as ITE), characteristics of the proposed development, its location on the transportation system, and other factors.  The applicant will need to explain how the calculations and estimates used most accurately forecast the trip characteristics of the proposed development.

The trip generation and distribution description need to include a review of existing Pedestrian and bicycle facilities that would be used be people to and from the proposed development, adjacent to the development, and potential connections to adjacent properties.  Each likely route should be reviewed for the adequacy of the facility to meet needs reasonably anticipated with the proposed development.  This includes identifying a safe walking route (and any needed improvements to that route) to school for residential developments within a half mile of a school or within the school district designated walk zone boundary.

City staff will review submitted trip generation and distribution descriptions. Revisions may be required to accurately (in staff judgement) reflect the anticipated trip generation and distribution of the proposed development.

Permits are required for any new construction, alterations and additions to existing buildings, including structural, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work. However, there are some exceptions to the structural requirements. If you aren't sure you need a permit, call the City of Tualatin Building Division, (503) 691-3044.

Los parques son vitales para todas las comunidades, ya que estos:

• Nos conectan con la naturaleza
• Mejoran nuestra salud y bienestar con abundantes oportunidades para       acondicionamiento físico 
• Crean lugares de reunión comunitaria
• Crean ecosistemas que proporcionan aire más saludable y agua más limpia

This fee is equal to 45% of the permit fee and covers the cost of the extra fire and life safety plan review when required.

This fee is charged when a water meter is to be installed or switched and is based on the size of the meter. This covers the cost of the meter installation.

Shelter rental fees are listed above on the Picnic Shelters website.

A WCCLS library card is free! There are no fines for overdue items. Accounts will be billed for items that are damaged or not returned.

These rates are assessed based on a flat rate for each new dwelling unit for single-family and multi-family residential development. Non-residential rates are determined using development categories and any new square footage or change of use.

Prior to determining the study area, the applicant must obtain City staff approval of the Trip Generation and Distribution Description (see above) for the proposed development. 

The Transportation Impact Analysis must include a comprehensive study of at least the following areas:

1. All proposed site access points to the public street system.
2. All roads and intersections along the frontage of the subject property.
3. Any road or intersection where the proposed development would be anticipated to generate more than 500 additional vehicle trips per day or more than 60 vehicle trips in a single hour.  If a two-way-stop-controlled intersection functions acceptably and the proposed development would add less than 50 trips per day on the minor leg, it need not be included by this criterion.
4. The route(s) trucks would use from the site to the arterial system must be identified for all developments and analyzed for truck travel if used for more than 10 truck trips per day.
5. Walking and cycling routes to transit stops within ¼ mile, parks and retail areas within ½ mile and, for residential developments, schools within 1 mile.
6. Any other areas where, in staff judgement, traffic study is needed to protect the public interest.

Sí, otras ciudades cobran servicios públicos de parques y una cuota. Tanto West Linn como Tigard, que se encuentran cerca, cobran una cuota mensual de mantenimiento del parque residencial que oscila entre $6 y más de $15 al mes.
