4. Affected Environment 4. Affected Environment Consistent with FAA Order 5050.4B, Paragraph 706 e, this chapter “…describes only those environmental resources the proposed action and its reasonable alternatives, if any, are likely to affect” (FAA Order 1050.1E, Change 1, paragraph 405e). Two resource categories identified in Appendix A of FAA Order 1050.1E, Change 1, Coastal Resources and Wild and Scenic Rivers, are not present in the project area and thus would not be affected by the Proposed Action and its alternatives. Therefore, these resources are not discussed in this chapter. 4.1 Project Location Hillsboro Airport is located in the city of Hillsboro in Washington County, Oregon, approximately 2 ¼ miles from Hillsboro city center and 12 miles west of downtown Portland (Exhibit 4-1). The Airport and surrounding Port-owned property occupy approximately 965 acres of land. The Airport is generally bound by NE Brookwood Parkway to the east, NE 25th Avenue to the west, NW Evergreen Road to the north, and NE Cornell Road to the south. The Airport is owned and operated by the Port of Portland. While the Airport is located almost entirely within the city of Hillsboro, it is located on the northern boundary of the city, and Port- owned lands north of NW Evergreen Road are within unincorporated Washington County. 4.2 Noise Exhibit 4-2 shows the existing (2007) day-night average sound level (DNL) contours used by the federal government to assess the significance of noise impacts and to establish land use compatibility guidelines. According to FAA guidelines (see Section 5.2) most land uses are compatible with sound levels of DNL 65 A-weighted decibels (DNL 65 dBA, herein referred to as DNL 65) or less. The State of Oregon also requires the disclosure of noise levels down to DNL 55. The noise contours shown in Exhibit 4-2 reflect the typical patterns of runway and flight track use for fixed wing and helicopters at HIO. Runway 12/30 accommodates over 90 percent of the aircraft takeoffs and landings at HIO, as indicated by the extent of the noise contours along its northwest to southeast runway alignment. Appendix C.1 shows the runway use and flight track assumptions used to develop these contours. The shape of these contours, wider to the northwest and longer and thinner to the southeast, is consistent with the most common direction of runway operations; landings from the southeast and takeoffs to the northwest. 4.3 Compatible Land Use This section provides an overview of existing and planned land use in the vicinity of the Airport; generally the area in or near the Airport’s aircraft traffic pattern. 4-1 HILLSBORO AIRPORT PARALLEL RUNWAY 12L/30R ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT S LEGEND W W N Source: W GL N O R 1.AEX and ESRI (2006) E C E D 2.

Areas to the west and south of this corridor are generally developed in residential uses with commercial development at the intersections of major roadways. Areas to the north and west of this corridor remain in generally agricultural uses. Areas to the north and east include the 534-acre Evergreen Special Industrial District, which has been added to the Urban Growth Boundary to provide industrial land capacity. Exhibit 4-2 also shows schools, libraries, parks and recreational areas, and known historic sites within this area. 4.3.2 Land Use Plans and Regulations Zoning is the means by which municipalities define the specific type of uses that are permitted on a given piece of land. These uses are identified and governed by the enacting of local zoning ordinances. The City of Hillsboro and Washington County are the two municipalities that have jurisdiction on the lands in the immediate areas surrounding HIO. A discussion of zoning patterns around HIO follows. Currently, the land to the north of the airfield is mostly zoned as rural. The rural zoning classification is comprised of a combination of permitted uses including exclusive farm use, with an 80-acre minimum lot size; agriculture and forestry, with an 80-acre minimum lot size; and future development, with a 20-acre minimum lot size. The land to the east of the Airport is mostly zoned as mixed-use employment. The mixed-use employment zoning is an employment district that generally allows for offices, retail stores, warehouse distribution, and light industrial activities. The land immediately south of the Airport is zoned as commercial. Residential zoning is located further south and southwest of the commercial area. The residential zoning closest to the Airport contains established medium-density neighborhoods with limited available space for future residential infill. A second large area zoned mixed-use employment is located to the southeast. The land west of the Airport is similar to the land east of the Airport and consists of mixed-use employment and residential. The residential zoning closest to the Airport contains established medium-density neighborhoods with limited available space for future residential infill. The area of mixed use employment lies directly along the western edge of the Airport property, while the residential areas are farther to the west and consist mostly of single and multi-family homes.

  • 4,500 Ideas Will Help Shape Hillsboro's Future
    CITY VIEWS NEWS & EVENTS FOR THE CITY OF HILLSBORO September/October 2014 4,500 Ideas Will Help Shape Hillsboro’s Future A yearlong campaign to encourage the community to suggest ideas for Hill- sboro’s future has paid off. More than 4,300 residents, employees, parents and students took time to contribute approximately 4,500 ideas that will help launch the new Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan, and build on the success of the award-winning 2020 Vision and Action Plan. The Top 5 ideas submitted for the Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan: 1. A great school system through investment and targeted improvements (260 suggestions) 2. A more walkable city with extended sidewalks and trail networks (258) 3. Expanded family recreational activities and community events (258) 4. Less traffic through planning, road capacity (255) 5. A water park, major attraction and/or tourist destination (239) What’s next? As the approximately 4,500 ideas and comments are sorted into unique categories, community members will form “theme teams” which will be assigned one of the idea categories. Each theme team will be responsible for reviewing its assigned category’s ideas and developing initiatives to bring those ideas to life over the next 15 to 20 years. continued on page 2 MAYOR’S MESSAGE How the SIP & Gain Share Help Our Community $100 billion. Wow! No matter how many times I see it, the prospect of a $100 billion investment in our community remains staggering. The signing of the 2014 Strategic Investment Program (SIP) agreement between the City of Hillsboro, Washington County, and Intel was historic for our region because it gives us the certainty that our largest employer, Intel, will keep Hillsboro as its international center for research and manufacturing for decades to come – helping us to create and retain jobs, and remain the centerpiece of the high-tech cluster we call the Silicon Forest.

  • Hillsboro's Home of Champions: Ron Tonkin Field
    CITY VIEWS NEWS & EVENTS FOR THE CITY OF HILLSBORO November/December 2014 Hillsboro’s Home of Champions: Ron Tonkin Field September 7, 2014. It’s a day Hillsboro Hops fans will never forget. Less than 15 months after the City of Hillsboro’s Parks & Recreation Department staff opened then-named Hillsboro Ballpark, the crowd of cheering fans witnessed history being made at Ron Tonkin Field. Capping an amazing season, the Hops sealed the deal by winning the team’s first Northwest League Championship on its home turf. While the Hops’ players will try to repeat as champions next summer, Parks & Recreation Department staff know that the season never ends. For every Hops home game (there were 40 in 2014, playoffs included), Ron Tonkin Field will host eight other community events and games. You may not realize it, but Ron Tonkin Field plays host to youth soccer, lacrosse, football, high school baseball and much more, thanks to the artificial turf’s year-round benefits. “The addition of Ron Tonkin Field has provided all of our high school teams – not just baseball – the opportunity to play in a great venue and experience the feeling of playing in a big-time stadium,” said Hillsboro School District Operations Coordinator and Safety Director Casey Waletich. “We are also getting games in during winter and spring that, in past years, would have been canceled because the turf wasn’t playable. Ron Tonkin Field is a tremendous addition to our community.” continued on page 2 MAYOR’S MESSAGE Hillsboro Takes Top Sustainability Honors Small decisions lead to big results.
