A plan district is a geographic area for which special zoning regulations have been created by the City, either through adoption of a community plan in the Hillsboro Comprehensive Plan or by previously adopted provisions in Zoning Ordinance No. 1945. If the plan district applies to the area included in a Community Plan, the plan district standards will implement the Community Plan. Revision of plan district standards or adoption of a new plan district is a Type IV process pursuant to Section 12.70.060.

(Ord. 6401 § 1, 2022; Ord. 6322 § 1, 2019)

Plan district standards are applied in conjunction with base zone standards (Subchapters 12.21 through 12.26) and Development and Design Standards (Subchapter 12.50). Plan district provisions may modify any regulations of the applicable base zone or of the general standards unless the base zone or general standards specifically state otherwise. However, base zone and general standards apply unless the plan district provides other regulations for the same specific topic.

(Ord. 6401 § 1, 2022; Ord. 6322 § 1, 2019)

Development activities subject to this subchapter are also subject to the base zone standards in Subchapters 12.21 through 12.26, the special use standards in Subchapter 12.40, development and design standards in Subchapter 12.50, and any applicable overlay zone standards in Subchapter 12.27. Where plan district standards conflict with other standards in this Code, refer to Section 12.01.430 for the hierarchy of standards.
