Application Requirements

The Emergency Shelter Super Siting application submitted to the City of Tigard must meet all state requirements and provide a narrative and all other items listed on the application form. 

Under previous iterations of these laws, there was a deadline to submit an Emergency Shelter Super Siting application. However, under HB 3395, there is no longer a deadline, and applications will be received and reviewed on a continuing basis.

State law does not set a deadline for the City to make a decision on an Emergency Shelter Super Siting application.

What is the public engagement process for super siting applications?

This is a special application process mandated by state law (HB 3395). A decision on an Emergency Shelter Super Siting application is not a land use decision, so the Emergency Shelter Super Siting process does not follow the typical land use process. State law does not require mailed notice of an Emergency Shelter Super Siting application to adjacent or nearby property owners and residents, nor does it require a public hearing or other solicitation of public comment. 

Who is the decision maker for the City of Tigard's Emergency Shelter Super Siting Applications?

The Community Development Director will make the decision on an Emergency Shelter Super Siting application based on the requirements in HB 3395.

Can an Emergency Shelter Super Siting decision be appealed?

Yes, an Emergency Shelter Super Siting decision may be appealed to the Washington County Circuit Court within 60 days of the date of the decision utilizing the writ of review process in Chapter 34 of the Oregon Revised Statutes.
