Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation
Annual Report
FY 2020-21
Message from Stephen Roberts, Director
Welcome to Moving Ahead
Looking back at Fiscal Year 2020-21, I’m struck by how our communities, Washington County and Land Use & Transportation have adapted to the new “COVID” normal.
We’ve all been moving ahead, continuing to make Washington County a great place to live, work and travel. Whether it’s helping businesses or keeping neighborhood travel safe, we’re pulling together to meet community needs.
I continue to be proud of how we are moving ahead in the face of the changing COVID environment. Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation looks forward to continuing to help meet the community’s transportation and land use needs.
Thank you for reviewing our 2020-21 Annual Report.

Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation
Welcome to Moving Ahead
Restaurants are one of many businesses hard hit by the COVID pandemic.
Our Current Planning staff responded with Inside Out, a temporary land use policy. It allows existing restaurants to serve customers in parking lots without a permit.
“Our goal is to do everything we can help businesses stay open,” said Stephen Shane, Principal Planner.
Grand Central Bakery in Cedar Mill and Brooklyn Trattoria in Bethany are serving customers in their parking lots.
Inside Out Guidelines:
Locations must be in unincorporated Washington County
Hours are 7 a.m. - 10 p.m.
Outdoor seating must be next to the business
Landscaping cannot be removed
Short-term rentals – homes, apartments or rooms rented or leased for less than 30 days – are not currently regulated in Washington County.
You spoke; we listened!
Short-term rentals are hot topic in Washington County. We've had a lot of complaints about the noise, traffic and parties that some of these rentals generate. Many people have asked for short-term rental regulations or licensing.
Our planners researched how other communities manage short-term rentals. Using that research, they wrote an issue paper recommending regulations and a licensing program. In 2020, the Board of Commissioners directed us to develop these regulations.
Watch the video to learn about the draft regulations and what we heard from the community.
Neighborhood Streets Program
‘Traffic calming’ creates safe travel in urban neighborhoods.
Our Neighborhood Streets Program is one way we help communities address speeding and other traffic issues that affect quality of life.
“The Neighborhood Streets Program now offers traffic safety campaigns for more Washington County roads,” said Melissa Norman, Program Coordinator. “We call these safety efforts ‘traffic calming’. These campaigns encourage people to drive safely in neighborhoods.”
Traffic calming uses education, enforcement and physical reminders to encourage safe driving.
“We’ve gotten a lot of appreciation for this program,” said John Fasana, Principal Engineer. “We expanded it this year to improve an already successful program.”
The community vision for a regional trail connecting Washington County, the Portland Metro area and the Oregon Coast took a big step forward in FY 2020-21.
Our transportation planners and the Oregon Department of Transportation planners completed the Tualatin Valley Trail Concept Plan, in June. The Board of Commissioners acknowledged it in August. The plan maps out a route for the future trail that includes:
- Blanton Street: Sidewalks and bike lanes separated from roadway with landscaping.
- Shaw Street: A multiuse path separated from the roadway with landscaping.
The trail will run parallel to Tualatin Valley Highway (Oregon 8), connecting Beaverton, Aloha and Hillsboro. It will create a low-stress, safe, comfortable and healthy alternative to driving.
“People will be able to use the trail as an alternative to TV Highway for commuting, running errands or catching a bus,” said Dyami Valentine, Senior Planner, Transportation Planning. “It will be a great asset to the area.”
More than 500 people commented on route options during two online open houses in FY 2020-21. Those comments gave planners the direction needed to understand and meet the community vision.
“People have been talking about this trail for decades,” Valentine said. “It’s exciting to see this project moving forward.”
Now that the Concept Plan is acknowledged, our planners can file an ordinance to add the trail route to the Washington County Transportation System Plan. This will make the trail eligible for funding.
“It will be a while before this trail becomes a reality,” Valentine said. “We don’t have the money to complete the design or to build it. But once the route is in the Transportation System Plan, the County, our partners and others excited about this trail can work on getting that funding.”
Oregon House Bill 2001 requires all local governments to allow middle housing in neighborhoods where single-detached homes are allowed. Washington County already allows middle housing in residential neighborhoods, but we need to amend our regulations to allow more of it in areas where only single-detached homes may exist today.
Middle housing options can create housing opportunities for:
- Low- and middle-income people
- Small households
- Young adults
- Seniors
- People whose housing options have been historically affected by discrimination - Learn more
What do you think?
Housing affects all of us. Our middle housing plan is focused on equity, diversity and inclusion. Please consider taking part in this process. We want to hear from people of all ages, incomes, abilities, races, ethnicities, orientations, household sizes and personal or professional housing experiences and needs. We want to hear from you.
