History

The land that became Shute Park Plaza was sold to the city in 1906 by banker John W. Shute to become Hillsboro’s first park. [2] In 1972, the city decided to re-zone a 5.5-acre (2.2 ha) section of the park in order to maximize the value of the land in preparations to sell that section. [3] [4] That section was located across Tualatin Valley Highway and contained a baseball field that had hosted home games for Hillsboro High School until 1965. [3] [5] Due to being physically separated from the other section of the park, the park's department wanted to sell off the land in order to pay for improvements at other park facilities in the city. [4]

John W. Shute American banker

John Wright Shute was an American banker in the state of Oregon. He was the founder of the first bank in Washington County, Oregon, and both Shute Park and Shute Road in Hillsboro, Oregon, are his namesakes.

Zoning describes the control by authority of the use of land, and of the buildings thereon

Zoning is the process of dividing land in a municipality into zones in which certain land uses are permitted or prohibited. In addition, the sizes, bulk, and placement of buildings may be regulated. The type of zone determines whether planning permission for a given development is granted. Zoning may specify a variety of outright and conditional uses of land. It may also indicate the size and dimensions of land area as well as the form and scale of buildings. These guidelines are set in order to guide urban growth and development.

Hillsboro High School (Oregon)

Hillsboro High School is a public high school in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States, and is the oldest high school in the Hillsboro School District. The current campus was built beginning in 1969. Prior to this, the first campus opened in 1913 at 3rd Avenue and Grant Street; the second campus, built in 1928, was located downtown at 6th Avenue and Lincoln Street, where J.B. Thomas Middle School stood until 2009. Currently 1,195 students attend the school in grades 9–12. The official school colors are blue and white with red and black as accents, and the mascot is the Spartan.

The 5-acre (2.0 ha) parcel was eventually sold in 1978 to Howard Davis, a former mayor, and Howard Glesmann for $250,000, with the funds planned to be used for city-owned facilities at the Washington County Fairgrounds. [6] However, the city also accidentally sold off a small section from the other side of the highway, which was re-sold to the city shortly thereafter. [6] That 10,454.4-square-foot (971.25 m2) plot was sold to the city for $51,400, which led to an investigation by the county district attorney in 1981. [6] [7] The district attorney declined to take action, though the City Council cited city manager Eldon Mills and his staff for negligence in the matter. [6] [7] Eventually the land was sold to developers to build a shopping center.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the new $6 million center was held on May 29, 1985, for the 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) shopping center on site of the former baseball field, with Hillsboro mayor Shirley Huffman officiating. [8] [9] At that time, it was expected to open in October 1985 with 25 to 30 tenants. [8] [10] The center was developed by Hayden Corp. and designed by David Hickman Associates. [8] The L shaped building was originally to include freestanding pads for a bank and a fast food restaurant. [9] Construction also included adding a traffic signal on Tualatin Valley Highway. [9]

Shirley Huffman American mayor

Shirley Todd Huffman was an American politician and legal secretary in the U.S. state of Oregon. Raised in Dayton, Oregon, she settled in Hillsboro, Oregon, where she served on the city council before serving two terms as mayor from 1985 to 1993. During her time as mayor, plans for the Westside Light Rail were approved, with Huffman receiving credit for the extension into downtown Hillsboro. After leaving office, she served on the board of directors of TriMet and as a development coordinator for the city.

Oak Unlimited opened at the center in 1986, [11] as did Pro Am Sports. [12] Izzy's Pizza built a stand-alone restaurant at the center in 1987. [13] In 1996, owner WCB Properties nearly sold the plaza along with five other of its properties to ScanlanKemperBard Compaines. [14] The next year, WCB sold Shute Park Plaza as part of a series of sales to Spieker Properties worth a total of $123 million, [15] [16] with Spieker then selling the plaza to Pan Pacific Retail Properties in February 1998. [16] Pan Pacific’s purchase was for $30.4 million and included four shopping centers total in Oregon. [17]

Pan Pacific sold the shopping center in September 2002 to Shute Park Plaza Partners LLC for $6.3 million. [18] The new ownership company was owned by Martin Kehoe. [18] Also in 2002, La Boutique opened in the plaza, selling quinceañeras in the Hispanic neighborhood. [19] In 2005, ownership of the center was transferred to Shute Park Plaza LLC for $8.5 million. [20] Black Rock Coffee Bar opened a drive-thru kiosk at Shute Park in 2011. [21]
