TO: Urban Renewal Agency Board
FROM: Jim Hendryx, Director of Economic and Development Services;
Matthew Craigie, Economic Development Manager
SUBJECT: Urban Renewal Design Services Pilot Program
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution 2012-02 implementing the Urban Renewal Design Services Pilot
Program.
SUMMARY:
The Downtown Advisory Review Sub -Committee (DABS) recommends creating a
pilot program to provide design services to downtown business and property
owners. The Urban Renewal Agency Board also discussed this proposal at their
meeting on April 9th, 2012 and was in agreement that the program would be
beneficial and should move forward. The intent of this program is to promote
better design in the downtown area and to inspire property owners to upgrade
their properties. Funds for this program will be capped at given amounts and a
small application fee will be charged. After a pilot period, the program will be
evaluated for success by the Urban Renewal Agency (URA), who will then
decide if it is worth continuing.
BACKGROUND:
The URA has had a Grant and Loan program in place for over one year. In that
time, six grants have been completed and another seven are pending
completion. The majority of these grants have gone for deferred maintenance
projects, such as fixing leaky roofs and replacing aging HVAC equipment. While
these projects have been important for maintaining the structural integrity of
downtown buildings, they have done little for aesthetic beautification of the
downtown area. The proposed pilot design services program would encourage
downtown business and property owners to improve their storefronts and
businesses by providing professional renderings of possible building
improvements, examples of other similar improved properties, and by creating
basic cost estimates for remodeling or redevelopment scenarios.

DISCUSSION:
Improving Woodburn's downtown area has been recognized as a priority for
several years, dating back to 1997, with the adoption of the original Downtown
Development Plan. Woodburn's Urban Renewal Plan provides the funding
mechanism to implement redevelopment programs. The proposed Design
Services Pilot Program carries out the intent of the Urban Renewal Plan.
DESIGN SERVICES PILOT PROGRAM
Design Services are a collection of services offered by design professionals that
can range from basic illustrations to full-blown architectural drawings and
precise engineering information. For this pilot program, we are proposing the
following services be offered to business and property owners in the downtown
area:
• Drafted or rendered illustrations of possible storefront improvements or
internal tenant improvements
• Examples of architectural details, such as lighting, furniture, and other
items
• A basic cost analysis for redevelopment options
Design services are a strategic way of inspiring property owners to remodel or
redevelop their properties. They can also illustrate remodeling options that
might be more cost-effective for the property owner, or could better meet their
business' design needs. Design Services provides a push for property and
business owners to visualize the highest and best use of their property. Some
owners may shelve these illustrations, while others may find them enough
encouragement to move forward with a storefront or internal tenant remodel.
Even if designs are shelved by their property owners, the City will keep these
records, so that they can serve to inspire other property and business owners.
The Design Services process can be quite simple. Business and property owners
within the downtown URA (see attached map) will be able to apply for limited
design services. Business and/or property owners will need to fill out an
application (attached) and pay a one-time $50 application fee. The scope of
the work and staff's discretion will determine how many hours are billed;
however, each design project shall not exceed a total of $3,000. During the
Urban Renewal Grant and Loan Program
May 12, 2012

period of the pilot program, City staff will administer the program and design
services will be conducted by an outside consultant with a standing contract
with the City's Public Works Department.
Drafts of the documents that will be used to implement the Design Services Pilot
Program are attached. Woodburn's program will be similar to those already
existing in several Oregon urban renewal agencies.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No impact. Existing funds from the Grant and Loan program have already been
identified in the budget and can be used to fund this program.

Design Services Pilot Program

improvements.
