MAYOR OGDEN – Tualatin is very fortunate to have a long history of planning where appropriate land uses exist; industrial zones are centered around major transportation routes; neighborhoods are cloistered together around schools, parks and other amenities. When land uses were (or are) designated, the appropriate infrastructure gets identified to meet the needs of that particular land use (water pipes for instance are planned for differently in a manufacturing zone than they are in a low-density residential zone); that planning is done well in advance of development so that by the time a developer purchases a piece of property, they know what sorts of land uses can go on the site and what infrastructure they need to build to accommodate their use.
