Exhibit C Findings of Fact Case File No. AN-007-20 PGE I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION The property under consideration is located generally north of NE Evergreen Road, south of NW Meek Road, east of NE Sewell Avenue, and west of NE Constable Street (see Proposed Zoning Map attachment). The property is specifically identified as Tax Lot 1501 on Washington County Assessor’s Tax Map 1N2-21. The property is approximately 38.49 acres in area and is currently zoned Washington County FD-20 Future Development – 20 Acres. The sites are currently served by the Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue (TVF&R) Service District, and the site would be withdrawn from this district upon annexation to the City of Hillsboro. The subject properties will also be annexed into the Clean Water Services (CWS) District. II. PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS The Annexation application was processed as a Type III application. In accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 222.125 the petition for annexation from the property owners constituted 100 percent of the property owners and at least 50 percent of the registered voters residing on the property. Notice of the proposed annexation was given as specified by Metro Code Chapter 3.09.030 and ORS 222.120. A staff report was prepared and available 15 days prior to the hearing as stipulated by Metro Code Chapter 3.09.050. A public hearing on the matter was conducted by the Council on December 15, 2020. III. APPLICABLE APPROVAL CRITERIA Community Development Code (CDC) Section 12.80.010.E contains three City approval criteria for a proposed Annexation: 1. These criteria are set forth in Metro Code 3.09. 2. In the South Hillsboro Plan District, that the annexation is consistent with the requirements of an applicable annexation agreement. 3. The annexation is in the City’s best interest. With regard to City approval criterion #1, Metro Code Section 3.09 requires the reviewing entity to apply the criteria and consider the factors set forth in subsections (D) and (E) of section 3.09.045. The criteria within these subsections, and the Findings with regard to these Metro approval criteria, are as follows: Page 1 of 5 Exhibit C Subsection (D) of Metro Code Section 3.09.045: 1. Find that the change is consistent with expressly applicable provisions in: a. Any applicable urban service agreement adopted pursuant to ORS 195.065; b. Any applicable annexation plan adopted pursuant to ORS 195.205; c. Any applicable cooperative planning agreement adopted pursuant to ORS 195.020(2) between the affected entity and a necessary party; d. Any applicable public facility plan adopted pursuant to a statewide planning goal on public facilities and services; Finding: Metro Code Title 11 Section 3.07.110.C (Planning for Areas Designated Urban Reserves) contemplates cities as the preferred provider of urban services. This annexation is consistent with Metro Code because urban services can be provided to this site by the City. The area being annexed is within an unincorporated area designated as “urban” by the Washington County Comprehensive Plan. Annexation of the subject property would transition services from County to City as specified in Section V (Urban Service Providers), subsections A and B, as well as Exhibits A through G of the Agreement. These Metro criteria are met. The current Hillsboro Urban Service Provider Agreement, dated April 2, 2003, does not include areas within the urban growth boundary (UGB) that were added to the UGB after 2002. Specifically, these areas include the Evergreen and Helvetia industrial lands and the South Hillsboro residential and mixed-use lands, which are nonetheless eligible for annexation into the City of Hillsboro under Metro Code Sections 3.09.070 and 3.09.090. In addition, Metro Code Title 11 Section 3.07.110.C (Planning for Areas Designated Urban Reserves) contemplates cities as the preferred provider of urban services. Therefore, this annexation is consistent with Metro Code because future urbanization will occur within the City and urban services can be provided to this site by the City. This criterion is met. e. Any applicable comprehensive plan; f. Any applicable concept plan; and Finding: The subject property is covered under the City Comprehensive Plan and is located within the North Hillsboro Community Plan Area. The proposed annexation is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies and implementation measures: Page 2 of 5 Exhibit C POLICY D 3.1 Innovative site design. Advance innovative employment area site and building design, such as general orientation of development towards street frontages and appropriate setbacks and screening.
