SUMMARY OF FINDINGS ................................................................................................................... 77 CITY OF HILLSBORO/DOWNTOWN RESIDENTIAL NEEDS ANALYSIS PAGE ii I. INTRODUCTION This report summarizes the demand for future housing development within the City of Hillsboro’s downtown core. The analysis includes an assessment of projected demand by product type and price range, as well as an assessment of market context and achievable pricing. The analysis is segmented into five major housing types: ▪ Market rate rental apartments; ▪ Affordable rental apartments; ▪ Ownership housing; ▪ Student housing; and ▪ Senior housing In addition to product type, specific submarkets within the broader study area are evaluated in terms of their suitability for alternative housing types. Residential demand is projected based on local and regional economic and demographic trends, including the age and income composition of current and projected households. Achievable pricing for new product is derived from current pricing at comparable projects, adjusted for locations within the downtown core. In addition, the financial viability of alternative development forms is evaluated considering the findings of the study. II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CONTEXT The City of Hillsboro has completed a significant level of work that addresses downtown housing, including the Downtown Framework Plan, Urban Renewal Plan, and an Urban Land Institute Technical Advisory Panel recommendations. The findings of these reports are supportive of policies and actions to encourage urban housing developments in the downtown area. The following is a summary of key recommendations from these studies: ▪ Support and encourage new higher-density mixed-use growth near the Tuality/Pacific Health and Education campus.

Introduction This report presents comparative case studies, defined as “the analysis and synthesis of the similarities, differences and patterns across two or more cases that share a common focus or goal in a way that produces knowledge that is easier to generalize about causal questions” (Goodrick, 2014: 1). This follows earlier case studies by the authors at five exemplary transit-oriented developments (TODs) across the U.S.: Redmond TOD in Seattle; Rhode Island Row in Washington D.C.; Fruitvale Village in San Francisco-Oakland; Englewood TOD in Denver; and Wilshire/Vermont in Los Angeles (Ewing et al. 2016). The subject of this sixth case study is Orenco Station, on the west side of the Portland metropolitan area in the suburban city of Hillsboro, OR.

Abstract Increasingly MPOs in Texas are incorporating Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) or similar concepts into their long-range plans for the purpose of achieving sustainable transportation. One major challenge to implementing these TOD-type strategies is parking. The conventional parking policies likely produce excessive parking, undermining the expected community benefits of TOD and could even cause the TOD initiative to fail. Getting the parking right is essential to ensure the desirable form and functionality of TOD. There are few studies of the topic on Texas cities. The main objective of this study is to report the state-of-the-knowledge on parking regulations and practice influencing the planning, design, and implementation of TOD.

  • Request for Qualifications Orenco/NW 231St Ave MAX Station Trimet Bike & Ride Mural (Interior) Hillsboro, OR
    Request for Qualifications Orenco/NW 231st Ave MAX Station TriMet Bike & Ride Mural (interior) Hillsboro, OR March 31, 2017 Updated April 5, 2017 (highlighted) REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS TriMet is seeking qualifications from professional, local artists/teams interested in designing and executing a mural for the interior of the TriMet Bike & Ride near the Orenco/NW 231st Ave MAX Station in Hillsboro, OR. Applications are due April 14th, 2017. BACKGROUND The community of Orenco has been a model of transit oriented development throughout its history. The Oregon Nursery Company (aka Orenco), was one of the largest nurseries in the country in the early 1900’s, shipping plants throughout the Americas. A rail line, located where MAX now runs, was built to ship plants into Portland. A charming old town remains in the former company town. When the MAX Blue Line was opened in 1998, the Orenco MAX Station was developed as a shining example of a mixed use development close to transit. The latest phase of development, Orenco Station plaza opened in 2015 to provide a vibrant, flexible place for the growing community to gather throughout the year. The plaza includes a water feature, lighting, moveable site furniture, elevated boardwalks with seating under mature oak trees, a seasonal ice skating rink and public art by Seattle artist, Beliz Brother. BIKE & RIDE FACILITY The Orenco Bike & Ride is a secure bike parking facility adjacent to the Orenco/NW 231st Ave MAX Station. This recently completed Bike & Ride is one of several bike parking facilities at TriMet MAX stations and transit centers in the region.
