The Site Development Permit authorizes the construction or modification of sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water quality/quantity facilities. It’s also the review process for erosion control on sites larger than one acre.
Depending on the site’s jurisdiction, the city or county will be part of the Site Development Permit process. The cities of Beaverton, Cornelius, Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Sherwood, Tigard, and Tualatin review development plans with regard to sanitary and storm sewer requirements within their jurisdiction. Clean Water Services reviews development plans regarding sanitary and storm sewer requirements within unincorporated Washington County; the cities of Banks, Durham, Gaston, King City, and North Plains; and small portions of unincorporated Clackamas and Multnomah counties.
