The main goal is to analyze housing data and prepare strategies for the City Council to provide direction on the next steps.
The specific analysis of housing data is called a Housing Needs Analysis (HNA). It projects supply and demand for housing in 2040 based on US Census and market data, along with a review of Tualatin's land and land use regulations for new growth (which is called a Buildable Land Inventory or BLI).
On December 19, 2019, the City Council voted to accept the Housing Needs Analysis (HNA) and Housing Strategies.
Key documents reviewed by the Community Advisory Committee include the following:
-
Overview presentation describing the Housing Needs Analysis process and the Buildable Lands Inventory
