Public Facility Plans

City of Hillsboro PFP

Former firm principal, Chris Eaton led a multi-disciplinary consultant team to develop a public facility plan that complied with statewide Planning Goal 11 for a public facility plan, funded by a grant from the Department of Land Conservation and Development. The process involved coordination of a multi-agency Technical Advisory Committee including city staff from the Planning, Public Works, and Finance departments. The project resulted in a single planning document, which included a Capital Improvements Project List. The report and related Comprehensive Plan Amendments provided the long-term overview for refinement plans, project planning, prioritization and implementation for public facilities in the city over the next 20 years. The project went beyond the minimum state requirements to help the city create a mechanism for ongoing strategic public facility planning. [back]

Klamath Falls Area PFP

APG managed the preparation of a public facility plan for the city of Klamath Falls. The plan’s completion was significant for the city because it was the final item on the city’s periodic review work program. APG compiled information about urban services, including water, sewer, geothermal heating, transportation, and storm water systems, both in the city and in the larger urban unincorporated area under county jurisdiction. The plan includes system descriptions and maps, a list of capital improvement projects and cost estimates, project phasing, draft intergovernmental agreements, and related amendments to the city’s comprehensive plan. APG also provided technical support during the adoption process. [back]

Pleasant Valley Area PFP

DJ Heffernan served as project manager for the preparation of a public facility plan to implement the Pleasant Valley Concept Area plan. The study complies with state planning requirements for Goal 11 – Public Facilities and is integrated with adopted annexation and development strategies for the concept area. The plan is being adopted jointly by the cities of Portland and Gresham as an element of each city’s comprehensive land use plan. The public facility plan includes system descriptions, service area responsibilities, capital improvement project lists and cost estimates, and a sequencing plan for extending public facilities that recognizes alternative annexation and development strategies.

Capital Improvement Plans & Financing

Bend Metro Park and Recreation District System Development Charge and CIP Program

DJ Heffernan assisted the District in the update of their system development charge methodology, fee calculation, and program policies and procedures. The project included establishing current service levels and forecasting eligible growth induced capital improvements needs in conformance with statutory requirements. The project also involved facilitating a 16-member advisory committee that included a broad spectrum of community interests, presenting technical information, and drafting new ordinances to implement the revised program. APG staff assisted with public outreach and communications and attended public hearings to support District staff. [back]

Columbia County Regional System Development Charge Program Feasibility Study

DJ Heffernan prepared an analysis of the feasibility for implementing a system development charge program in unincorporated urban areas of Columbia County. The analysis, performed as a subconsultant for another planning firm, involved Columbia County and the cities of St. Helens and Scappoose. The planned regional SDCs were being considered as a growth management technique and to ensure that interim development pays its fair share of future system development costs. The project was funded with an Oregon Transportation Growth Management grant and resulted in a detailed work program for implementing regional SDCs for streets, parks, and water and storm water system improvements.

Hood River County Transportation System Plan Finance Strategy

DJ Heffernan served as a subconsultant to prepare an update to Hood River County’s transportation improvement program and financial strategy. This section of the transportation plan lists short and long range system investments for the county road system as well as summarizes anticipated investments by state and regional agencies related to transit, rail, air, and water transportation infrastructure. The plan also summarizes anticipated capital investment costs and strategies for financing the identified improvements, including both public and private resources. [back]

Public Infrastructure Permitting

City of St. Helens Upper Level Water Reservoir

As a subconsultant to the design engineer, Angelo Planning Group assisted the city of St. Helens secure land use approval for a 500,000 gallon municipal water reservoir. The project involved two separate land use application processes. An initial application process with Columbia County involved zoning and comprehensive plan amendments as well as public outreach. The outreach process included preparing a project fact sheet and facilitating meetings with affected property owners and with the McNulty Public Utility Water District (formerly McNulty Water Association). When site purchase negotiations broke down, APG prepared a second conditional use application with the city of St. Helens for a different location. That application process also involved a public outreach effort. Land use approval is anticipated in November of 2003. [back]

170th Avenue Expansion

Frank Angelo managed the Washington County and city of Beaverton development review processes for the expansion of SW 170th Avenue, a Washington County minor arterial road. This $30 million dollar project involved extensive coordination with a variety of agencies including Washington County, the City of Beaverton, the Oregon Department of Transportation, Tri-Met, Clean Water Services, and the Beaverton School District. Frank also worked with the citizen Project Advisory Committee on the design and impact assessments of the project. Because SW 170th Avenue is located in both the city of Beaverton and unincorporated Washington County, two separate land use reviews were required for the widening project. Frank was responsible for preparing the Type III Development Review/Article VII application for Washington County and the Type III Design Review application for the city of Beaverton. Both land use reviews required public hearings. [back]
