Summary of Proceedings

Beaverton Urban Redevelopment Agency Meeting - September 23, 2025

The Beaverton Urban Redevelopment Agency (Bureau) met on September 23, 2025, to consider developer selection for the Hall and Center site, approve a consent agenda, and receive a director's report. The meeting began with an executive session (ORS 192.660(2)(e)) for real property negotiations. No public comments were made.

Consent Calendar

  • Approved minutes from the regular meeting of June 23, 2025.
  • Approved Bureau Bill 2025-19: Post-project evaluation of the Construction Manager/General Contractor contracting method for the Creekside Parking Garage. Motion passed unanimously (9-0).

Discussion Items

  • Bureau Bill 2025-20 – Developer Selection for Hall and Center Site: Staff presented the RFQ process and recommended Security Properties for exclusive negotiation. The site is at SW Center Street and Hall Boulevard, zoned RCMU (mixed-use). Proposal: six to seven stories, 215 residential units (studio to 3-bedroom), 5,000 sq ft ground-floor retail, structured parking (225 spaces, ~1.05:1 ratio), and public art. Features include an "Art Mews" pedestrian pathway and a floodplain garden. Board members expressed strong support, praising the design, retail integration, and transit orientation. Constructive feedback: desire for more units and height, but acknowledged feasibility constraints (parking ratios, construction costs, floodplain). Security Properties representatives (Sarah, Gus) answered questions about unit mix, market analysis, and the Mews concept. Board also asked about stormwater and floodplain mitigation.
  • Director's Report: Andy provided updates: Beaverton will host a tour for the national Impact Transit and Community Conference on October 27, 2025 (sold out); fall Building Improvement Program applications are open; board and commission recruitment (Bureau Board, URAC, Budget Committee) is ongoing; upcoming URAC meeting on October 6 with discussion of ENA agreements and the downtown Beaverton subbasin stormwater strategy.

Key Outcomes

  • Motion on Bureau Bill 2025-20: Authorized the executive director to negotiate an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with Security Properties for the Hall and Center site. Motion carried unanimously (9-0; one member excused). The ENA will be brought back for approval at the October meeting.
  • Next regular Bureau meeting: October 28, 2025.
