HISTORIC LANDMARK REVIEWS
Tualatin’s historic landmark designations are intended to preserve, protect, maintain, and enhance those landmark
resources which represent or reflect elements of the City's history, cultural, social, economic, political, and architectural
history. When a property owner desires to change a resource designation, modify an existing resource, or demolish or
relocate a resource, land use review is required. The land use review requirements are further described in TDC Chapter
68 Historic Preservation, and Table 32-1.
TYPE II: Landmark Alteration Permits, Landmark Demolition Permits, and Landmark Relocation Permits are subject
to a Type II land use review, except where the resource is also a National Register Resource. Type II decisions are
decided by staff and require public notice, with an opportunity for appeal to City Council.
TYPE IV: Applying or removing a historic landmark designation, or the demolition or relocation of a resource listed
as a National Register Resource, is subject to a Type IV review. Type IV-A decisions are quasi-judicial decisions
made by Tualatin City Council after a public hearing.
