Metro Council President Lynn Peterson and planning staff have provided updates to MTAC, MPAC and local jurisdictions on the UGB Exchange process, including Clackamas County, Damascus CPO, and the cities of Forest Grove and Oregon City. Metro has provided detail on the methodology and criteria being used for potentially removing land from the UGB in support of Tigard’s request for River Terrace 2.0, totaling about 350 buildable acres. HBA Government Affairs staff continues to be present at these meetings and has met directly with Metro leadership on the project. We will continue to monitor the exchange process and provide updates on when Council plans to hear testimony and take a vote. For more information, contact Preston Korst at prestonk@hbapdx.org.
