Tualatin Downtown Revitalization
Join the Project Mailing List ► Email: qbrunner@tualatin.gov
Project Background
In November 2022, the Tualatin Development Commissions (TDC) adopted the Core Opportunity Reinvestment Area (CORA) plan. This urban renewal area (URA) is comprised of 475 acres, generally bounded by Boones Ferry Road to the north and west, Tualatin-Sherwood Road to the south and Martinazzi Avenue to the east. The URA has a maximum indebtedness of $140 million. The plan includes a vision for the area, projects, and project funding for downtown, signaling the City’s commitment and support for downtown revitalization.
The Vision for the plan states:
“The Core Opportunity and Reinvestment Area Plan is a guiding document in our community’s effort to strengthen the social, cultural and economic vitality of central Tualatin by funding projects that improve property values, eliminate existing and future blight, and create an active civic core.”
The following goals and priorities were identified in the planning process:
- Establish or create a common identity
- Enhance connectivity
- Ensure a collaborative approach
- Protect and promote the natural environment
- Foster mixed-use development
- Expand housing options
Since the plan was adopted, the area continues to generate tax increment revenue for future projects. The downtown is poised for redevelopment and the community is anxious for new housing, retail and commercial options. The goal of this process is to build on the great work already done for the Core Opportunity and Reinvestment Area Plan (CORA Plan) in 2022 and develop a community identity to put Tualatin’s downtown in the best possible position to encourage revitalization and redevelopment opportunities. Additionally, the City recently opened the new Veterans Plaza and completed its purchase of the last three acres of the six-acre riverfront park project. The riverfront park project can be one of many catalyst projects in the downtown area that can begin to generate interest, identity and redevelopment in the area.
The overall project includes three phases and is anticipated to take 24 months:
- Phase 1 - Identity and Placemaking (5 months)
- Phase 2 - Urban Design Charrette and Concepts (12 months)
- Phase 3 - Code Amendments for Design Standards (8 months)
The process is guided by a Community Advisory Committee (CAC). To see up-to-date meeting information, please visit the CAC home page.
