Hillsboro, Oregon Zoning Districts: What Do They Mean?

Zoning districts are areas regulated by specific laws that determine land use, building types, and development rules. Each district below shows its zone type. Hillsboro's ordinance does not state permitted uses as citywide flags, so they are read from each district's own table rather than summarised here.

City Context

How is Hillsboro zoned?

Hillsboro regulates land through 38 zoning districts, and the Industrial Sanctuary district at roughly 1,224 acres is the most policy-explicit classification in the roster.

An industrial sanctuary protects industrial land from conversion to other uses. Naming one, and applying it to over twelve hundred acres, states a policy most cities leave implicit and matters in a city where the semiconductor industry is a major employer.

A Special Industrial Park District at roughly 221 acres and an Industrial Park at about 3,047 complete the industrial framework, with general industrial at roughly 1,407.

The Station Community family covers residential at medium density and village scale, a business park, a downtown commercial district and a fair complex institutional district, together roughly 1,490 acres. Subdividing station areas by role rather than applying one transit designation is fine-grained.

The Urban Center family runs alongside it, covering mixed use at urban density, a research park, office and research, and residential at medium density.

The residential codes state lot size at 4.5, 6, 7 and 10, with R-7 the largest district at roughly 4,363 acres. Multi dwelling residential runs 1 through 3 covering about 1,731 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
