North Tualatin Master Plan

Metro has proposed a nature park project for the West Hills, also known as the Tualatin Mountains. It includes building a number of multi-use trails. The plan requires a change to the county's Comprehensive Plan, as well as several county land use permits.

All application documents can be found in the Document Library.

The Multnomah Board of County Commissioners approved Metro's proposed park designation and park improvements at an October 26 hearing. This is the county's final decision on this proposal. Appeals may be filed with the Land Use Board of Appeals.

Any issue intended to provide basis for an appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals must be raised before the close of the public record.

All documents and application materials are available in the document library.
