At the hearing, the Council will consider street name changes in Hillsboro, Oregon. The City of Hillsboro Planning Division is requesting that the City Council, through an Official Street Name Change application, name currently unnamed public and private alleys that are located within the City limits of Hillsboro. There are only four addresses changing with this project, and those four addresses are located in the Stonewater neighborhood. The purpose of the request is to reduce confusion in the street grid for emergency responders as well as an important step in the broader effort in meeting the Hillsboro 2020 Vision Action Plan goal of establishing a common Hillsboro address for the entirety of the city. Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 227.120 and Municipal Code Chapter 9.24 set forth the procedure and approval process for naming or renaming streets. The Planning Commission has recommended to the City Council that the renaming is in the best interest of the City. During their regular meeting on July 6, 2021, the City Council set the public hearing date on this request for July 20, 2021. The staff report on this matter will be available at https://hillsboro-oregon.civicweb.net/Portal/ by Tuesday, July 13th, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. All interested persons are invited to attend this virtual hearing on Zoom and will be given an opportunity to be heard concerning the proposal.
