The City of Hillsboro in partnership with public and private stakeholders is preparing an AmberGlen Community Plan. The Plan Area is located at the southern edge of the Tanasbourne Town Center area, bounded by 185th Avenue on the east, Cornell and Walker roads on the north, 206th Avenue on the west, and the Westside light rail line on the south. Development and adoption of the AmberGlen Community Plan as part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan is a key step in implementing the vision established in the OHSU/AmberGlen Concept Plan (Concept Plan) completed in March, 2007.
Adoption of the AmberGlen Community Plan is targeted for Fall 2009 and will provide the policy framework required to establish project priorities, funding mechanisms and Zoning Ordinance amendments necessary for accomplishing the Concept Plan vision.
Tasks to be addressed as part of the Community Plan process include:
- Refinement of the development plan;
- Assessment of market feasibility;
- Transportation system analysis; and
- Development of the AmberGlen Community Plan for inclusion in the Hillsboro Comprehensive Plan.

| Plan Area Vision: OHSU / AmberGlen Concept Plan |
The vision for the AmberGlen area was established during the development of the OHSU/AmberGlen Concept Plan. The Concept Plan is the product of the initial, conceptual phase of planning intended to compel and guide the project through a complex and challenging implementation process.
The OHSU/AmberGlen Concept Plan identifies a vision, guiding principles, development program and implementation tools for creating a vibrant, intensive mixed-use development close to major employers, the dynamic Tanasbourne Town Center, and regional transportation facilities including the Westside Light Rail and Highway 26. The complete, urban community is envisioned to be a regional landmark and model of urban sustainability.
