In-N-Out faces another hurdle in the battle for a Beaverton restaurant

(PORTLAND TRIBUNE) — In-N-Out Burger has reached another bump in the road in its attempt to open a new restaurant in Beaverton.

Here’s the rundown: The cult-favorite fast food chain known for its “animal style” burgers and marathon lines is eyeing a spot at the intersection of Southwest Beaverton Hillsdale Highway and Southwest 107th Avenue, near Chick-fil-A. Significant progress was made on that plan after the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals remanded a 2022 decision to reject In-N-Out’s application.

  • On April 16, the hearings officer reversed his decision and approved the application, contingent upon In-N-Out meeting a laundry list of conditions, including annexation into the city of Beaverton for utility services and the development of a traffic management plan with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the Oregon Department of Transportation, the Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation and the city of Beaverton.

The newest wrinkle: Interested parties had until May 7 to appeal the hearing officer’s decision to approve In-N-Out’s application. On May 6, a Notice of Intent to Appeal was filed by a Beaverton resident.
