I.   Site and Context 

The proposed project site is located at 8815 SW O’Mara Street in the city of Tigard.  The 1.7 acre site is 

currently improved with a 10,700 square foot building that houses the Tigard Senior Center, and 

approximately 49,000 square feet of paved parking and circulation area.  The site’s current zoning 

designation is PR‐ Parks and Recreation.  The surrounding uses are Fanno Creek Park to the north, Tigard 

Christian Church to the east, and single‐family homes to the south and west.   

The proposed project site sits on a larger 15.57 acre parcel owned by the City of Tigard, encompassing a 

portion of the Fanno Creek Park area.  The City intends to re‐zone the parcel in order to redevelop the 

senior center site to include affordable housing for seniors.  Carleton Hart Architecture was contracted 

to perform site analysis and conceptual site plans, and Housing Development Center was contracted to 

assess the financial feasibility of the conceptual designs, in order for the City to determine the feasibility 

of redeveloping the site. 

 

II.   Site Plan Concepts 

The proposed site is located just south of Fanno Creek, and the Fanno Creek Regional Trail borders the 

site’s northern perimeter.   The site slopes downward from south to north toward the park and creek.  

While the site itself is not located in a flood zone, a special flood hazard area runs along the creek.  As 

such the site is constrained to the north and the conceptual site layouts maintain the northern property 

line “as is”. The site layout is also constrained by the “flag‐ shape” nature of the property and street 

access.  Connection to the right‐of‐way must be maintained at the south‐east corner.  Numerous trees 

ring the property with a significant cluster immediately North/NE of the existing senior center, which 

will likely need to be removed to accommodate redevelopment.  

Based on the above‐mentioned site characteristics, Carleton Hart Architecture developed two potential 

site plans for feasibility evaluation. It should be noted that while re‐zoning of the site is currently being 

assessed by city staff, the conceptual site plans described below are based on the development 

standards associated with the MU‐CBD designation in the Development Code.  

Concept A (see Exhibit A) proposed demolishing the existing senior center structure and building a new 

mixed‐use building with three floors of residential housing over two floors (split level) of commercial 

and residential.  The new building would contain a new 15,000 square foot senior center and a total of 

59 apartments.    Surface parking surrounding the building would accommodate 49 spaces and would 

require a shared parking agreement with neighboring church to meet the code requirement of 89 

spaces.    

Due to initial concerns raised by Housing Development Center about the lack of funding available for the 

extensive commercial space, which can’t be funded with housing program funding sources like low‐

income housing tax credits and HOME, an alternate site plan concept, Concept B, was developed by 

Carleton Hart Architecture.

Concept B (see Exhibit B) proposed leaving the existing senior center in place and building a new 

residential building adjacent to the senior center.  The new five‐story residential building would include 

56 apartments, multipurpose space, and office space for site staff.  Surface parking surrounding the 

building would accommodate 44 spaces and would require a shared parking agreement with 

neighboring church to meet the code requirement of 78 spaces.  

 

III. Preliminary Feasibility Assessment of Concepts A and B 

Housing Development Center analyzed the financial feasibility of both Concepts to assess whether or 

not the projects would be feasible utilizing available affordable housing funding sources.  At this early 

concept stage, HDC prepared conceptual project budgets based on similar recently completed projects 

with input from the city staff and other consultants. 

 

A.  Preliminary Feasibility Summary‐ Concept A: 59 units of senior housing with new senior 

center on ground floor 

 

Square footage 

                  

                

 

Financial Assumptions: 

Acquisition‐ No acquisition costs are assumed in the project budget; the city’s intention is to 

enter into a long‐term ground lease with the housing developer 

Construction costs 

Residential‐ $220 per sf, based on recent similar projects 

Commercial‐ $250 per sf  (core and shell only, does not include tenant improvements 

and FF &E), based on recent commercial projects; cost of tenant improvements could 

add an additional $2‐4 million

Conclusion‐ Concept A 

As shown in the chart below, based on the above assumptions the total project costs for the 

residential portion of the building would be approximately $16 million, which could be covered 

with 9% tax credit equity, a permanent loan, and HOME funds or other gap funding sources 

available from the state.   

The cost of the new senior center space would be approximately $4.2 million for the shell only. 

The cost of interior tenant improvements could add an additional $2‐4 million, depending on 

the intended uses of the space, the number of kitchens and bathroom, and the type of furniture, 

fixtures, and equipment needed.   

At this time, the city of Tigard does not have any funding available to cover the cost of the new 

senior center, and while Washington County may have some CDBG funding available, the 

existing senior center received CDBG funding for renovations in 2008, so it is not likely the 

county would provide additional grant funding for a new senior center at this time.  In addition, 

the current senior center operations do not generate sufficient revenue to support a 

commercial loan.

With no available sources to cover the cost of the commercial space, the Concept A mixed‐use 

project would face a funding gap of approximately $6‐8 million (including tenant 

improvements), and is therefore not feasible.

As shown in the chart below, based on the above assumptions, the total project costs for the 

new residential building would be approximately $16.4 million, which could be covered with 9%

gap funding sources available from the state.     

There would be no commercial costs in the Concept B scenario, because the existing senior 

center would remain in place.  Although competitiveness for 9% tax credits has not been 

assessed at this early stage, Concept B appears feasible.

IV.   Further Refinement and Assessment of Concept B 

In February 2019, the city of Tigard, Carleton Hart Architecture, and Housing Development Center 

presented Concepts A and B and the initial feasibility assessments to the Technical Advisory Committee 

for feedback. 

The Technical Advisory Committee concluded that the best course of action for the city would be to 

pursue Concept B, keeping the existing senior center in place and building a new residential building on 

the site for affordable housing. 

The Technical Advisory Committee also recommended further analysis on the following: 

Increasing cost per square foot assumption by 8‐10% to account for funding sources that may 

require prevailing wages 

Adding additional cost for flood insurance 

Assessing the feasibility of the project utilizing non‐competitive 4% tax credits and new Metro 

bond funding 

Assessing HOME funding regulations relating to distance to flood zones to see if project is 

eligible for funding  

Assessing area demographics and need for very low‐income senior housing 

 

The first three recommendations are addressed in the next section.  In response to the last two 

concerns, Housing Development Center consulted with staff at the Washington County Department of 

Housing Services.  Staff confirmed that in order to be eligible for HOME funding, the site cannot be 

located within a 100 year flood zone or a regulatory floodway.  If it is within a 500 year flood zone, then 

it is still eligible for funding, but must have at least two egresses.  Based on CHA’s Site Analysis and the 

FEMA flood map, the site itself does not appear to be located within any flood zones.  However, it 

should be noted that the latest concept has the potential to revise the existing trail and that revised trail 

area could fall into the flood area. It is not known at this time if this would impact the proposed project. 

In regards to demand for very low‐income units for seniors, Washington County staff stated that as of 

March 2019, there are a total of 1,879 households waiting for voucher assistance in Washington County. 

Of those, 223 (or 12%) are “elderly” households, which is defined as a household with a head of 

household or spouse/spousal equivalent age 62+.   

In addition, based on census data for census tract 308.01 where the proposed site is located, 

approximately 30% of low‐income renters are severely rent burdened, paying more than 50% of 

household income toward rent.   Approximately 14% of the population in the census tract are age 65 or 

over. It is not known what percentage of severely rent burdened households are over age 65, but based 

on the waitlist demand, it can reasonably be assumed that sufficient demand exists for very low‐income 

senior units.

A.  Revised Concept B Preliminary 9% Feasibility 

In response to the TAC committee’s feedback and recommendations on the conceptual budget, 

the following adjustments were made: 

Construction costs increased to $240 per square foot to accommodate prevailing wages 

$50,000 added to insurance line item for potential flood insurance 

In addition, in the revised model, 10% of the units were reduced to 30% AMI rents to increase 

the project’s competitiveness for 9% credits and to position the project to take advantage of the 

new Housing Trust Fund dollars available from the state.   The revised rent/affordability mix in 

the 9% model is: 

6 units at 30% AMI 

21 units at 50% AMI 

28 units at 60% AMI 

Conclusion‐ Revised Concept B: 9% Feasibility  

As shown in the sources and uses chart below, with the above cost adjustments the total project 

costs increase to approximately $18.2 million.  Utilizing 9% low‐income housing tax credits, a 

permanent loan, and a combination of HOME, Housing Trust Fund, and/or other GAP funding 

sources available from the state, the project is still feasible as a 9% tax credit project.

B.   Revised Concept B:  4% Feasibility 

As requested by the Technical Advisory Committee, Housing Development Center tested the 

project’s feasibility using non‐competitive 4% low income housing tax credits and new Metro 

Bond funding.    

Financial Assumptions: 

Acquisition, Construction and Soft Costs 

The same basic cost assumptions as the 9% model were used; estimated bond issuance and 

related financing fees were added to the conceptual budget.    

Income & Expenses 

In this model, the number of 30% AMI units were increased to 17 (30% of total units)  to make 

the project more competitive for bond funding, which will prioritize projects with 30% AMI 

units.  In addition, this model assumes that Project Based Vouchers (PBV) are obtained for the 

30% AMI units, with contract rents at $1,100 for the 17 units at 30% AMI.   Washington County 

has committed to make 200 PBV available for projects applying for Metro Bond funding.

finalized, the following estimated amounts were used based on information 

from Washington County: 

$125,000 per unit for 30% AMI units 

$100,000 per unit for 60% AMI units

    Conclusion‐ Revised Concept B: 4% Feasibility 

As shown in the chart below, with the above cost assumptions, total project costs are 

approximately $18.2 million.  Utilizing 4% tax credit equity, Metro bond funds, a permanent loan 

leveraged in part by PBV subsidy income, HOME,  and OHCS GHAP funds, the project has a gap 

of approximately $1 million which could be filled with a combination of deferred developer fee 

and an equity contribution by the sponsor/general partner, or by other available sources. 

While OHCS has stated a preference for large 4% projects for GHAP funding, it’s uncertain as to 

whether this 56 unit project would be considered a large project for GHAP funding.  If the 

project is not able to obtain sufficient GHAP funding from OHCS, other funding sources such as 

HUD 202 capital and rent assistance, and/or additional PBV subsidy, could be pursued to close 

the gap. Therefore, the project appears feasible utilizing 4% low income housing tax credits.

V.  Recommendations, Timeline and Areas for Further Assessment 

The proposed project (Concept B) appears to be feasible as utilizing either 9% or 4% low income housing 

tax credits and other available funding sources.  Because 4% tax credits are non‐competitive, Housing 

Development Center recommends pursuing the 4% financing scenario first, and only if unsuccessful, 

pursuing the 9% financing scenario as an alternate financing plan. 

The 4% low income housing tax credit program follows a rolling application cycle, with applicants 

submitting a 4% pre‐application to Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) at anytime 

throughout the year, once other funding commitments have been obtained.    

The following funding programs will be available and accepting applications in 2019: 

HUD Section 202 Capital and Project Rental Assistance‐  this funding could be used to fill the gap 

in the 4% funding scenario in lieu of, or in combination with, HOME and OHCS GHAP funding.   A 

Notice of Funding Availability was released this Spring and applications are due August 28, 2019. 

HOME program funds and Project Based Vouchers (PBV)‐  Washington County will release a 

Notice of Funding Availability in August 2019, with applications due October 5, 2019. 

Metro Bond Funding‐  Washington County anticipates releasing a Notice of Funding Availability 

in early 2020.    

Proposed Project Timeline 

In order to position the project to apply for the above funding opportunities, the critical path actions for 

the city are selecting a housing developer partner, re‐zoning the site, and executing a site control 

agreement with the housing developer partner. The following proposed timeline would allow the 

project to take advantage of the upcoming funding opportunities. 

May 2019  City issues RFP for Housing Developer  

June 2019  City selects Housing Developer 

Wetlands delineation/report completed 

CHA finalizes Concept B site plan  

July 2019  City executes site control/option agreement with Housing Developer 

Housing Developer obtains 3rd party cost estimate on final Concept B plan and finalizes financing plan 

 

August 2019  City completes re‐zoning 

Housing Developer submits HUD 202 application, if applicable  

October 2019  Housing Developer submits HOME and PBV funding applications

Areas for Further Assessment 

At this very early concept stage, there are still many unknown factors that may impact the project’s 

feasibility until all due diligence is complete.  The following issues require further assessment by the 

selected housing developer and design team: 

Flood hazard zones and impact to site layout and trail.*   As mentioned previously in this 

report, the area to the north of the proposed site is a special flood hazard area.  There are two 

special flood hazard areas immediately North of the site.  One is a “REGULATORY FLOODWAY” 

(Zone AE) that FEMA has defined along Fanno Creek in this area.  Elevation is approximately 

148.5 feet.  Additionally, there are areas along this floodway that are defined as “Without base 

flood elevation (BFE) that appear to encroach upon the current trail.  The final Northern 

property line can be maintained “as‐is”, but Carleton Hart Architecture (CHA) does NOT 

recommend extending the proposed development beyond the extent of the current 

paving/developed area without proper surveys and precautions. 

 

Re‐zoning of the site and allowable height and density.* Current concepts are based on the 

Development Standards associated with the MU‐CBD designation listed in the Development 

Code.  The Fanno/Burnham Sub‐area (FB) dictates a maximum building height of 80’‐0”.  NOTE; 

Any development within 200’‐0” of the Fanno Creek Park Boundary OR within 50’‐0” of low or 

medium density residential is limited to 45’‐0” in height.  A minimum density of 15 units/acre is 

required with a maximum allowed of 50 units /acre. Tigard staff is exploring development code 

provisions to allow a height bonus for affordable housing. 

 

Funding Availability and Competitiveness.  The feasibility conclusions in this report are based 

on currently available funding sources for which the project appears to be eligible, but Housing 

Development Center did not perform a detailed analysis of all eligibility criteria or how the 

project would score for competitive funding sources.  In addition, the state of Oregon is in the 

process of updating its Qualified Allocation Plan, which will likely involve changes to the criteria, 

scoring, and credit limits for the 9% and 4% low‐income housing tax credit programs.  The 

selected Housing Developer should evaluate eligibility and competitiveness for all funding 

programs in order to develop the project’s final financing plan.
