Summary of Proceedings

Beaverton Urban Redevelopment Agency Meeting - October 28, 2025

The Beaverton Urban Redevelopment Agency (BURA) met on October 28, 2025, at 7:00 PM. The meeting covered approval of the consent agenda, board communications, an executive director's report, and discussion of upcoming items. No public comments were received.

Consent Calendar

  • Bureau Bill 2025-21: Resolution 2025-069 adopting a supplemental budget for FY 2025-2026 and making appropriations.
  • Bureau Bill 2025-22: Authorizing the executive director to execute an exclusive negotiations agreement for the disposition and development of the Hall Center site.
  • Bureau Bill 2025-23: Authorizing the executive director to execute an exclusive negotiations agreement for the disposition and development of the Lombard West site.
  • Motion: Approved unanimously (11-0).

Board Communications

  • Board Member Hartmeyer Prigg reported on a meeting with the owner of Central Station Tops, discussing open retail space in the Beaverton Garage and encouraging efforts to fill vacancies, particularly noting that small businesses near the round feel the impact.

Executive Director's Report

  • Downtown Parking Round Table: The mayor and staff convened a round table on October 21, 2025, at First Street Commons. Over 25 property owners and businesses attended (double the number of staff). Participants discussed the first two years of the parking pilot project, compliance, data collection, and recommendations. A white paper summarizing the conversation will be prepared and shared with participants and BURA, informing the Downtown Parking Management Action Plan (DPMAP) draft expected in early 2026.
  • Impact Conference Tour: On October 27, 2025, staff led a tour for about 30 attendees from the Impact conference (transit and urban mobility professionals from the U.S. and Canada). The tour, called "Leave It to Beaverton," highlighted BURA accomplishments, including the round, Art Central Hyatt House, Lombard West and Hall Center sites, sub-basin strategy, transit center improvements, restaurant strategy, vertical housing development, BC2 Beaver Dam area acquisitions (17 properties), and the BG Food Cartel. Positive feedback was received.
  • Next Meeting: The next BURA meeting will be November 18, 2025, in conjunction with the city council. The agenda includes a work session on the downtown sub-basin strategy and potential real estate conversations.

Key Outcomes

  • Consent Agenda Approved: All three bills passed 11-0.
  • Building Improvement Program Grants: In response to a board member's question, staff reported that more funds were available because some previous grantees did not proceed, allowing more projects to be funded in the current round. Specific application numbers were not provided but will be included in the executive director's report.
  • ICE Activity Inquiry: A board member asked about ICE activity impacts on businesses. The executive director noted that while some parts of Beaverton have seen reduced visitors and customers, no specific impacts within the BURA district have been reported.
  • Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned. The next regular meeting is scheduled for November 18, 2025.
