Board approves annexation into Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District and amends lighting assessment area
Summary
Commissioners unanimously approved a 4.99-acre annexation into the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District for properties in Beaverton and removed a second lot from a street-lighting assessment where staff found the lot did not benefit from installed lights.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners on June 3 approved two land-use actions: a boundary change to annex approximately 4.99 acres into the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) and a revision to a lighting-service-district assessment that removes one lot from the assessed area.
Carol Johnson, planning and development services manager, introduced staff’s report on proposed boundary change 25-003, a consent petition initiated by Holt Homes to annex one tax lot and portions of three tax lots totaling about 4.99 acres within the City of Beaverton into THPRD to serve planned development. Associate planner Trisha Gurisco presented maps and staff findings that the petition met the statutory criteria. The board opened and closed the public hearing with no public testimony and voted unanimously, 5-0, to adopt the resolution and order approving the annexation, effective June 3.
Separately, staff presented a petition to amend assessment area 1392 for a lighting partition on Northwest 100th and 11th Avenue. Ailey Langford, senior administrative manager for Land Use and Transportation, said the original partition covered two tax lots but that the second lot received no benefit from the two installed lights because vegetation and distance obstructed any service. Staff recommended removing the second lot from the assessment and levy all costs to the original lot. The board opened the public hearing, received no testimony, and approved the resolution amending the assessed area and establishing the first-year assessment, unanimously 5-0.
Ending: Both resolutions passed unanimously; the annexation becomes effective immediately and the lighting assessment area will be revised for FY 2025–26 as approved.
