Planning

The City of Tualatin’s Planning Division guides growth and development to maintain the community’s character and livability.

It administers the Comprehensive Plan and Development Code, reviews land-use applications, and works closely with advisory bodies such as the Planning Commission and Architectural Review Board. The Planning Division also coordinates with other city departments and regional partners, ensuring regulatory compliance while fostering public involvement so that new projects align with Tualatin’s long-term goals for housing, sustainability, infrastructure, and economic vitality. 

About the Planning Division

The Planning Division serves the public by providing advice and technical expertise on key community issues and priorities to help ensure land development is compatible with the quality of life in Tualatin. We support the Architectural Review Board and the Tualatin Planning Commission. The Planning Division is responsible for both long-range and current planning activities. Long-range planning involves the maintenance of Tualatin’s policies and Community Plan based input from the public, advisory bodies, and the City Council, as well as conformance with regional and statewide plans. Current planning involves the administration of the Tualatin Development Code and review of land use applications for conformance.
