Group seeks to halt development of 2,100 Portland area acres April 05 2021
New neighborhoods in Wilsonville, Hillsboro, Beaverton and King City could be tabled if legal challenge prevails.
The Metro regional government s most recent urban growth boundary expansion which ushered in over 2,100 acres of new residential land in Wilsonville, Beaverton, Hillsboro and King City is facing a legal challenge at the Oregon Court of Appeals.
Housing Land Advocates, a charitable corporation that focuses on land use policy and advocates for affordable housing, appealed the Land Conservation and Development Commission s decision to approve Metro s 2018 boundary expansion, arguing that the regional government needs to address housing shortages inside the existing growth boundary before expanding it. HLA asked the court to either remand or reverse the decision.
