(Added by Ord. No. 4455/8-96.)


I.   SCOPE

This section establishes clear and objective design standards specific to the 185th/205 th /Quatama Station Community Planning Area.

 

II.    PURPOSE

The 185th/Quatama SCPA is distinguished by the presence of three major institutions: (1) Oregon Regional Primate Research Center/Oregon Health Sciences University, (2) Oregon Graduate Institute, and (3) The Capital Center. Although each major institution owns its own land and has its own educational and research goals, the three institutions and others have joined together to incorporate a research park under the name Science Technology And Research Park ("STAR Park") in order to jointly market and develop their respective property and further their research and educational objectives. STAR Park is entirely and exclusively within the mixed use Station Community Research Park ("SCRP") District in this station community. The Station Community also includes AmberGlen, an Oregon Business Park, a thriving flex space office/commercial/light industrial development within walking distance of the Quatama LRT station, just north of the ORPRC portion of STAR Park. AmberGlen is set amongst admirable open space common areas, water features, and wetlands to be enhanced as a focal point for building entrances adjacent to this natural area. West of 206 th Avenue, the Station Community has ample space for a mix of residential types ranging from high density for-rent products immediately adjacent to the Quatama station, to small lot single family houses farther north. Along 185th Avenue north of the 185th /Willow Creek LRT station and park-and-ride, mixed use commercial/residential development along with office and more auto-oriented uses have the opportunity to grow next to this major north-south regionally significant arterial street.

 

The previous zoning on land now encompassed by most of the SCRP District was M-P Industrial Park. Although none of the institutions were truly industrial in nature, the M-P Zone was the only designation available which would allow the animal research activities of the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center ("ORPRC") and the industrial-type laboratory, educational and other activities anticipated and proposed by the Oregon Graduate Institute ("OGI".) However, it was never the City's expectation these properties would develop as true industrial land uses and would not have zoned these lands for industrial uses in the future. With the formation of a research park, that position was reconsidered. Under the light rail zoning, the parties to STAR Park have requested true industrial uses be allowed. The City agrees the research park can be a good neighbor in the station community provided the industries locating within the park: (1) do not have negative environmental impacts; (2) are ones which are functionally integrated with, substantively related to and compatible with the purpose and activities of the respective institutions; and (3) are also compatible with the other land uses and activities within the Station Community. This Section identifies the industrial classifications and establishments which meet these compatibility tests. Further refinement is allowed within the Concept Development Plan to be submitted by each of the respective institutions for Planning Commission approval prior to any further development.

 

These community-specific modifications to Sections 136 through 138 and the design standards contained in this Section reflect the City's goals and objectives for the 185 th /Quatama SCPA as described in the Hillsboro Comprehensive Plan, in the compiled reports and working papers of the 185 th /Quatama Station Planning Advisory Team, and the results of workshops and public meetings held in the Station community Area. Where the standards of this Section specifically conflict with those contained in Sections 136 - 138, the standards of this Section shall prevail.

 

III.    MODIFICATIONS TO SECTION 136 STATION COMMUNITY PLANNING AREA PROVISIONS

 

A.   Permitted, Restricted and Specially Regulated Uses

 

The provisions of Section 136.IV, Section 136.V and Land Use Table 136.3 shall apply, with the following exceptions:

 

1. The permitted, restricted and specially regulated land uses allowed on land owned by participants of STAR Park, Inc. are as described in Table 141.1. The accessory industries and establishments considered compatible with the major institutions and other uses of the Station Community are described in Table 141.2. Further refinement of the permitted establishments listed in Table 141.2 is allowed only with approval of the Planning Commission as part a Concept Development Plan. Unless the uses and establishments listed here and within the approved Concept Development Plan contain hazardous materials requiring a Specially Regulated Use Permit under the provisions of Section 136.V.D.3., they are permitted outright provided they: meet the definitional criteria of an accessory industrial use; are developed in accord with all applicable provisions of Sections 136 - 138 and 141; and are sited and constructed in conformity with the terms and conditions of the applicant's or associated major institution's approved Concept Development Plan.
