Project Synopsis The City of Hillsboro’s (“City”) Tualatin Valley Highway/OR8 (“TV Hwy”) Equitable Transit Oriented Development (“TOD”) Plan (the “Project”) purpose is to respond to future implementation of Bus Rapid Transit (“BRT”) improvements along this corridor. The Project will include planning and implementation actions for 2 primary components:

1) an Equitable Development Strategy (“EDS”), and

2) a TOD policy framework as part of the Project.

The Project will enable the City to take a holistic approach to planning for the area in advance of BRT transit improvements and ensure that future development and redevelopment of the area will be done from a lens of reducing and mitigating potential displacement risks while simultaneously increasing housing supply along a high-opportunity corridor.

TV Hwy is a major urban arterial owned and operated by the Oregon Department of Transportation (“Agency”) that connects multiple communities in Washington County (“County”) in the Portland Metropolitan area. BRT implementation along the corridor will create greater access to transit, walking, and biking and may lead to increased demand for redevelopment of properties adjacent to the corridor. Land on the northern portion of the corridor mainly consists of strip commercial and some residential uses. Much of the project area beyond immediately adjacent properties is zoned for residential and where most of the existing housing units are located within the project area. Limited additional residential development capacity exists within the zoning currently in place along the corridor. Adjacent to the south, TV Hwy currently has limited uses due to the freight railroad that runs along the corridor.

The City recognizes that redevelopment along the northern portion of the corridor has potential displacement implications for existing small businesses and residents once BRT is operating and aims to develop policies and strategies to address displacement pressures prior to BRT becoming fully operational. The Project aims to increase the supply of housing in an area that has not previously been identified for significant housing development as much of the project area is zoned commercial and has been previously built out. The Project

Department of Transportation Transportation & Growth

Management (“TGM”) Program 355 Capitol St. NE, MS 42

Salem, OR 97301 will explore opportunities for housing centered towards planned transit improvements while mitigating potential displacement and impacts to small businesses and existing residents that may occur with redevelopment. To accomplish these goals, the Project intends to deliver an EDS and TOD Policy Framework that work together to address anticipated development demand along the corridor.

The EDS portion will be used to guide local decision-making around redevelopment, anti-displacement tools, and mitigate negative impacts stemming from redevelopment. The EDS will assess existing displacement risks, both to commercial tenants and residents, and assess anti-displacement best practices and interventions implementation. The EDS will be prepared in close coordination with direct neighborhood partners, recruiting and convening a core group of community leaders within a Community Advisory Council (“CAC”), which will represent the interests and perspectives of the diverse stakeholders along the corridor.

The EDS will inform the TOD Policy Framework to analyze and identify nodes within the project area for potential phased upzoning or rezoning to allow for increased housing redevelopment and account for potential displacement and other impacts. To support additional housing development, the TOD Policy Framework will evaluate select corridor areas most likely to redevelop in the near-, mid- and long-terms based on market analyses. This work will involve an assessment of corridor area redevelopment impacts on downtown Hillsboro redevelopment. The TOD Framework will also identify corridor areas well served by infrastructure and those with infrastructure needs. In addition, the TOD Framework will involve developing code concepts and identifying actions needed to facilitate compact, mixed-income development with safe connections to transit, walking and bicycling while simultaneously reducing and mitigating potential displacement of small businesses and residents. The TOD Framework will inform select Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments in the near term from commercial to mixed-use or residential land use designations or land use designations to result in upzoning as well as TV Hwy Community Planning Areas Section Comprehensive Plan Amendments Language.

Project Objective:

The Project should:

• Encourage and support housing production opportunities;

• Prevent & mitigate displacement of small businesses and residents;

• Prioritize housing with connectivity to existing frequent transit service and planned transit improvements;

• Prioritize compact, mixed-income housing development; and

• Create safe opportunities for walking and biking.
