Mayor I lank Williams EXHIBIT "A" City Council Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law Costco Wholesale Conditional Use Permit Appellant: David J. Smith 241 Saginaw Drive Medford, OR 97504 File No. 15022 March 24, 2016 PART 1 — INTRODUCTION Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law On February 2, 2016, the Planning Commission in accordance with CPMC 17.76 approved a Conditional Use Permit authorizing the development of a Costco Wholesale membership warehouse and fuel facility on 18.28 acres within the M-1 zoning district ("Costco Application"). The project site is located on the eastern edge of Central Point city limits at the southwest corner of I lamrick and Table Rock road The site also has frontage on Federal Way, a local street. Surrounding properties include developed and undeveloped industrial lands, including the M-1 and M-2 coning districts. On February 16, 2016, David J. Smith filed an appeal ("Smith Appeal") contesting the Planning Commission's decision on grounds that the Planning Commission erred in approving the application as: 1. Costco's traffic study is flawed because it does not accurately identify trip distribution patterns. 2. Custer's traffic study does not indicate that the airport master plan has been taken into consideration. 3. Site access on an ODOT designated Fright Condor will mix existing and future high volume truck traffic with Costco generated traffic. 4. There is nothing in the record to verify that ODO'I' has funded and scheduled construction of the improvements relied upon to support the Costco application. 5. As a result of specific issues identified above, approval of the Costco CUP without further study will create immediate and future traffic congestion and hazards. 6. Approval of the CIDP is contrary to the Central Point Statement of Values relative to growth and transportation. Page 1 of 6 The Council's scope of review on this appeal is limited to the issues and evidence presented in the record before the Planning Commission as per CPMC 17.05.400(F)(3). As this appeal is on the record the City Council may not consider new evidence or issues that were not preserved in the record below. Council review is limited to determining whether there is substantial evidence in the record to support the findings of the Planning Commission; or whether en'ors of law were committed. Membership warehouses are permitted as a conditional use per the City's 2009 similar use determination under CPMC 17.48.020(W) and 17.60.140, which was adopted by the Planning Commission as Resolution No.764, and affirmed by the Council on Appeal as Resolution No. 1217. The applicable approval criteria for a Conditional Use Permit are set forth under CPMC 17.76.040, Findings and Conditions for Conditional Use Permits. PART 2 — APPEAL ISSUES 'there were six (6) issues raised in the Smith Appeal. The following is a summary of each issue in the Smith Appeal, including the findings and conclusions pertinent to each issue. L Traffic Study Flawed. - "Casten's traffic study is flawed in that it does not identify the present traffic patterns for Casten's members to the present store and, without that information, it is impossible to predict the route choices of Costco members to the proposed site. 'f he use of general population statistics in inadequate to assign predicted distribution of the 10,670 daily trips by Costco Members." Finding 1: The Applicant submitted a traffic impact analy'si's ("TIA) by Kittelson and Associates for the subject property into the record. City staff reviewed the TIA and there is testimony in the record as to the substance of the TIA from City staff. No other traffic reports or analysis were prepared or submitted into the record, by traffic engineer's or other traffic expert's. According to the TLA, 'the trip distribution pattern for.site generated trips was developed using zip code data from current memberships at the existing Costco warehouse located on OR 62 (Crater Lake Highway) in Medford, Oregon, as well as from the existing traffic patterns and major trip origins and destinations within the study area."' Trip distribution was verified by regional travel demand models provided by ODOTfor the base year (2006) and future year (2038). There was no traffic analysis supporting the allegation that the trip distribution methodology utilized in the TIA is flawed. Conclusion 1: The City Council concludes there is .substantial evidence in the record to find that the TIA is valid and contained adequate trip distribution methodology for the .subject property. 2. Cas'ten's traffic study indicates that there will be heavy traffic added to Biddle Road at the entrances to the Rogue Valley International -Medford Airport, but docs not indicate that the airport master plan has been taken into consideration in the traffic study. Traffic Impact Analysis: Central Point Costco Development, Central Point, Oregon. Kiltelson & Associates. October 2015. Page 37. Page 2 .1`6 Finding2: The Planning Commission's consideration of the Costco CUP application relied upon the Applicant's TIA and agency comments d e. the City ofMedford) relative to the identified traffic impacts and mitigation measures at the intersection of Biddle Road and Airport Road (See Finding 1776040(8)(4) in the Planning Department Supplemental Findings (`Supplemental Findings" in the record below.) The airport was identified as an agency entitled to notice, but did not submit comments into the record requiring additional traffic mitigation. The TTA identified impacts to the intersection. The City ofMedford recommended a condition of approval to include a median to resolve the impact. In a letter dated January 5, 2016, the City ofMedford indicated that the airport was opposed to the proposed mitigation measure because it was in conflict with the airport master plan. As an alternative, the City of Medford requested a condition that requires the applicant to pay a proportional share toward a future traffic signal at this intersection in conformance with the airport master plan The City ofMedford indicated this contribution would be sufficient to mitigate the impacts of this project. The estimated project cost is $450,000, including design, construction and inspection. Per the TIA, Costco contributes l0% of the traffic at this intersection. As conditioned, Costco .shall provide evidence it has contributed its proportionate share of the construction of signalization improvements in an amount not to exceed $45,000, which shall be payable to the City ofMedford prior to building permit issuance. No other traffic reports or analysis were prepared or .submitted into the record by traffic engineers or other traffic experts. Conclusion 2: The City Council concludes there is substantial evidence in the record m find that, as conditioned, the application complies with CPMC 17.76 and that the applicant will have contributed its proportional. share toward traffic mitigation to the intersection of Biddle Road and Airport Road at the time of development The Council fitnher concdudes (here is sufficient evidence in the record to determine that the airport did not request any mitigation for the airport master plan, but that consideration to such master plan was given 3. the access points for the proposed Costco site are on roads which ODOT has master planned as a freight corridor. ODOT's freight Profile identifies Table Rock Road as one of the local roads that "experience high volumes and of freight traffic." "fhe proposed location is in the midst of existing freight terminals, with more planned for the future, which will mix high volume truck traffic with 10,670 Costco member daily automobile trips. Finding 3. Heavy vehicles were evaluated in the Applicant's TIA at all study intersection and site drivewtrys, including Table Rock Road. No problems were identified with the mix of light and heavy vehicle traffic based on volume and impacts to LOSIVC. An ODOT representative was present at the January 5, 2016 hearing and did not identify safety concerns during his testimony (Audio Recording at 1'26). The Planning Commission considered in Finding 17.76.040(8) and 17 76.040(C)(2) the operational and safety conditions of ingress and egress on Table Rock Road, as well as all study intersections. Per the TTA and agency comments, the Planning Commission imposed conditions of approval requiring access restriction and mitigation measures to resolve traffic impacts associated with ingress and egress on Table Rock Road. No other traffic reports or analysis was Page 3 of 6 prepared or.submitted into the record by traffic engineers or other traffic experts ConCluSlon 3: The Council concludes there is sufficient evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to find traffic mitigation required by this project has been satisfied as conditioned and that the mix of truck traffic with the proposed development will not create additional safety concerns requiringfurther mitigation, except at identified and conditioned herein.. 4. there is nothing in the record to verify that ODOT has funded and scheduled construction of the improvements relied upon to support the Costco application. Without that confirmation that the improvements will be completed soon after the store opens is total speculation. Finding 4: Evidence in the record addressing traffic impacts and the timing of the Interstate 5 Northbound Off Ramp, Exit 33 Improvements, and the feasibility of imposing conditions for such traffic mitigation includes the 71A prepared by Kittelson & Associates, as well as comments received from the Oregon Department of Transportation (01)(97'). As conditioned, Costco will be required io enter into a Cooperative Improvement Agreement with ODOT andpaw its proportional share of the improvement cost prior to building permit issuance (See Revised Public Works Staff Report dated January 5, 2016, Condition No. 1). Evidence in the record establishes that the improvements are planned to be expedited such that they will be constructed as close to opening day of the .subject development as possible: The Revised Public Warks Staff Report dated January 5, 2016 states that, "Per ODOT, construction will commence at the earliest possible date. " (See Traffic Impacts and Mitigation Item No. 4) b. During staffs presentation at the January 5, 2016 Planning Commission Meeting, during a discussion of traffic impacts and mitigation (26:05), staff stated that ODO7 agreed to expedite construction of the off ramp improvements as close to opening day as possible. Don Morehouse, ODOTPlanner, concurred with the staff presentation and stated that he had nothing further to add (Audio Recording. at 1:26:15). Conclusion 4: 'There is substantial evidence in the record to .support the Planning Commission's decision as to the feasibility and timing of the traffic mitigation conditions. 5. Without further study, Costco has the potential to create immediate and future traffic congestion and hazards. Finding 5Per the TIA, the proposed Costco Wholesale and fuel facility is expected to generate 10,670 new daily trips. Ileavy vehicles were evaluated in the 7'1A and no problems were identified with the mix of light and heavy vehicles based on volume and impacts to LOS/VC. On the day of opening traffic impacts were identified at four (4) intersections: 1) Interstate 5 Northbound Off -Ramp,- 2) Table Rock and Ilamrick Road, 3) !able Rock and Airport Road, and 4) Airport and Riddle Road Although not identified in the 77A, the City of Medford provided crash data and comments in a letter dated January 5, 2016 indicating that traffic generated by Costco would negatively impact the intersection of Table Rock Road and Morningside ,Street Pagc 4 of 6 south of the project site In accordance with the TLA and comments received from affected agencies, the Planning Commission imposed conditions ofapproval requiring mitigation of the traffic impacts caused by the proposed Costco Wholesale (See Table 1 helow)_ Interstate 5 NB volume to capacity 77c) Enter into a Cooperative Prior to Off -Ramp Ratio is exceeded.

No other traffic studies or testimonyfrom a traffic engineer or other traffic expert was received as to the .substance of TIA_ Ngc 5 of 6 As demonstrated in the Applicant's Findings and the Planning Department Findings, the Planning Commission found the project as conditioned is adequate to accommodate the use (.See Planning Commission Findings for 17.76.040 in the record below). Conclusion 5: The City Council concludes that there is substantial evidence in the record to support the Planning Commission's decision that, as conditioned, the project will mitigate the traffic impacts generated by this project. 6. The placement of Costco in the proposed location is contrary to the Central Point Statement of Values: "Growth: We Value planned growth that will retain our small town atmosphere," and "Transportation: We value a system of transportation and infrastructure that is modern, efficient and sensitive to the environment." Finding 6: In considering the Conditional Use Application for the proposed Membership Warehouse and fuel facility, the Planning Commission was required to render a decision based on the proposal's demonstrated compliance with Standards and Criteria for Conditional Use Permits set forth in Central Point Municipal Code Chapter 17.76. Conclusion 6: The mission .statement is not part of the Municipal Code nor Comprehensive Plan 11 does not serve as a standard or criteria and is merely aspirational language under the City's general Mission Statement. The Planning Commission did not err in applying the Standards and Criteria .set forth in CPMC 1776_ I. PART 3 - SUMMARY CONCLUSION Council has reviewed the evidence and issues in the record and the issues raised in the Smith appeal. The Council concludes that there was substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to approve the application, and the Commission did not commit errors of law. Phis Conclusion is based upon the findings herein, and the evidence in the record including the Applicant's findings and the Planning Staff Supplemental Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Pagc 6 of6 Ak EXHIBIT "B" CENTRAL Community Development STAFF REPORT POINT Tom Humphrey, AICP 0'`=O1 Community Development Director STAFF REPORT March 10, 2016 ITEM Consideration o'a Conditional Use Permit application for the construction of a 161,992 square foot Costco membership warehouse and fuel facility on an 18.28 acre site at the southwest corner of I lamrick and 'I'able Rock Road The project site is within the Federal Way Business Park subdivision in the Industrial (M-1) zoning district, and is identified on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37S 2W 126, Tax Lots 213, 214, 215, and 216. Applicant: Costco Wholesale; Agent: Steve Bullock, MG2 STAFF SOURCE Stephanie Holtey, Community Planner II BACKGROUND In 2009, based on the authority for similar use authorizations provided in CPMC 17.48.020(W) and 17.60.140, the Planning Commission approved membership warehouse clubs, such as Costco Wholesale, as similar to other uses permitted in the M-1 zone and approved such uses as conditional uses (Planning Commission Resolution No. 764). As a conditional use, the City has more discretion in determining the compatibility ofthe use with other permitted uses. Upon appeal, the City Council affirmed the Planning Commission's similar use determination and authorization of memhership warehouse clubs as a conditional use (City Council Resolution No. 1217). In 2015, Costco Wholesale submitted a Conditional Use Permit application to develop a membership warehouse and fuel facility on 18.28 acres in the M-1 zone (Attachment "A"). On February 2, 2016, the Planning Commission, in accordance with CPMC 17.76, approved the COP application (Resolution No. 827). The Planning Commission's decision considered testimony received by the applicants, proponents and opponents at the January 5, 2016 Planning Commission hearing, including the period That the record was left open (Attachment "B"). Aller the final decision, appeals were Filed by I,. Calvin Martin ("Martin Appeal" - Attachment "C-1 ") and David.l. Smith ("Smith Appeal" — Attachment DA") on February 16, 2016. The Martin Appeal and the Smith Appeal raise similar issues alleging the Planning Commission erred in approving the application based upon the following issues which are summarized as follows: • the use is not compatible; • the Traffic Impact Analysis submitted by the Applicant is flawed; • the use will generate signiticam traffic; and • hhe decision conflicts with the City's Statement of Values for Growth and Transportation. Upon appeal, the Council's consideration is based upon the evidence and issues presented in The record before the Planning Commission. Based upon that record, the Council must determine whether there is substantial evidence in the record to support the Planning Commission's decision, or whether the Planning Commission erred as a matter of law. Staff has reviewed the issues raised in the Martin Appeal and the Smith Appeal and the evidence in the record in the context of the standards and criteria that apply to Conditional Use Permits per CPMC 17.76. There are no issues raised that have not already been addressed by the Planning Commission as evidenced in the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, for the Martin Appeal (Attachment "C-2) and the Smith Appeal (Attachment "I}2"). COUNCIL OPTIONS In an appeal of a'I'ype III land use decision, the Council has four options 1) Affirm the decision of the Planning Commission. If the Council does so, it must specify the basis for its decision; 2) Reverse the Decision of the Planning Commission. If the Council does so, it must specify the reasons for the reversal; 3) Modify the decision of the Planning Commission and specify the reasons for the modification; or 4) Remand the decision back to the Planning Commission with an explanation of the error and the action necessary to rectify the error. Given the constraints of the 120 -day rule, this is not an option unless the applicant concurs and agrees to extend the 120 -day limit. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS There are two appeals before Council. though the hearings have been consolidated, the Council will need to make separate motions as to each appeal at the close of the public hearing. With regard to each appeal: Martin Appeal: Staff recommends the Council affirm the decision of the Planning Commission on the basis that there is substantial evidence in the record to find that the application complies with the Conditional Use Permit criteria in CPMC 17.76. Attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 are draft Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law the Council may adopt in its motion to affirm the Planning Commission.

Cit§ Representative Planning Commission Resolution No. 827 (2/2/2016) STAFF REPORT A CENTRAL POINT REVISED STAFF REPORT January 5, 2016 EXHIBIT A Community Development Iom luumphrey, P Community Development Director ITEM (File No. 15022) Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit application far the construction of a 161,992 square foot Costco membership warehouse and fuel Facility on an 18.28 acre site at the southwest comer of Hamrick and Table Rock Road. The project site is within the Federal Way Business Park in the Industrial (M-1)zoning district, and is identified on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37S 2W 121,'1 ax Lots 213, 214, 215, and 216. Applicant: Costco Wholesale; Agent: Steve Bullock, M02. SOURCE: Community Planner BACKGROUND At this time Costco Wholesale ("Applicant") is requesting s Conditional Use Permit to construct a new membership warehouse and fuel facility. The 18.28 acre project site is located an four (4) lots within the Federal Way Business Park Subdivision with frontage on Table Rock Road (Jackson County), Hamrick Road (City of Central Paint) and Federal Way (City of Central Point). rand east of the site is located in the City of Medford. It's the Applicant's intent to relocate its existing operation on Crater Lake I fighway to Central Point with a scheduled opening date of Fall 2016. Achievement of this objective requires approval of the CUP, as well as a Site Plan and Architectural Review (File No. 15028) and Class "C" Variance to the M-1 sign area standard (Pile No. 15032) (Agenda Items VI, B and Q. General Project Description: Costco proposes to conshuet a 161,992 square foot membership warehouse located on the southwest site boundary north of the existing Fed Ex Distribution Facility (Attachment "A-3"). A total of 783 parking spaces arc proposed along with perimeter and interior landscape improvements. Architecturally the proposed Costco will be a large metal building similar to industrial warehouses like the Fed Ex Distribution building adjacent to the project site. In this case the building design provides for variation in building materials and roof lines, as well as articulation and detailing around the main enhance canopy. The color palette is a blend of earth tones (brown, grey) with Costco red and blue on the proposed signage. According to the applicant's findings (Attachment "B") the warehouse will be open to members from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and until 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. on weekends. Deliveries for the warehouse typically occur between 3 a.m. and noon to minimize conflicts between large delivery trucks and Costco's members. A four (4) island fuel facility is proposed on the southeast site boundary to the west of the existing Fed Ex Distribution Facility (Attachment "A-3"). Each island provides six (6) fuel dispensers and provides stacking for 10 cars. In total the fuel facility includes 24 fuel dispensers and provides stacking few 70 cars. A canopy will cover the fuel dispensers (Attachment "A-13"). The fuel facility will be open to members from Gam to 10pro daily. Depending on demand, fuel deliveries may occur multiple times per day. ISSUES The City has evaluated the proposed use and identified four (4) issues: 1. Traffic. On opening day it is estimated that Costen will generate an additional 10,670 new daily trips - Due to the large volume of estimated traffic for the proposed use, the applicant prepared a Trsffie Impact Analysis (TIA) based on input Gam affected agencies including the City of Central Point, Jackson County Roads and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). It should be noted that the City of Medford was invited to participate in developing the'I'IA scope of work on June 2, 2015 and August 13, 2015, but no comments were received. The TIA identified impacts to four (4) intersections at opening day (Table 1, Items I-4) and one (1) intersection in 2020 (Table 1, Item 5). Additionally, impacts to the intersection of Table Rock Road and Morningside Sheet were identified and mitigation recommended in a revised letter from the City of Medford dated January 5, 2016 (Attachment r NBI-5 OR Ramp PM Peak C 061 0.77 0.94 Midday COOT Peak B 0.41 0.61 0.63 1 Table Rock Road & Hamrick Road Jackson PM Peak C E C - Midday County Peak B F B 3 Table Rock Read &Airport Road Jackson PM Peak F - F - C - Midday County Peak C E e 4 Biddle Road & Airport Road City of PM Peak C E - F - Midday Medford Peak B - C - F - 5 Hamrick Road & East Pine Street City of Central point, Jackson PM Peak Midday C - C D County Peak I B I B B It should he noted that one year after the scheduled date of opening for Costco, the County will begin construction ofthe Table Rock Road project. The project will widen Table Rock Road between Biddle and Airport Road to include four travel lanes, a center Nan lane, bike lanes and sidewalks and intersection signalization at Table Rock and Airport Road. Completion of the Table Rock Road project resolves traffic impacts of the proposed use on in&axtructure along Table Rock Road (i.e. Projects 2 and 3). A detailed summary of the traffic impacts and mitigation are set forth in the Revised Public Warks Department Staff Report (Attachment "D"), Resolution: To assure timely completion of traffic mitigation measures relative to the day of opening for the proposed use, staff is recommending: a. NB I-5 Off Ramo. Prior to building permit issuance, the applicant shall comply with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) requirement to contribute toward the construction of dual Page 2 of 5 right mm lanes from the off ramp to East Pine Street (IAMP Project No. 9). The estimated project cost is $1.3M. Project cost sharing shall be as follows: ODOT $800,000 Costen: 5377,000 (Not to exceed) City: $123,000 (Not to exceed) Per ODOT, construction will commence at the earliest possible date, which is necessary to prevent failure of the northbound off -ramp. b. Table Ruck Road and Hawick Road. Prior to certificate of occupancy, the applicant will be required to provide the following temporary improvements on Table Rock Road per Jackson Courtly Roads: i. Construct median islands in front of the access drives on Table Rock Road to limit movements to right-in/right-out; mid, ii. Construct a center left turn lane and refuge within the existing Table Rock Road right-of- way at Hamrick Road to case left tum delays. c. Table Rock Road at Airport Ruad. Per Jackson County Roads, no mitigation measures are recommended since operational deficiencies will be resolved upon completion of the 'table Rock Road widening project. d. Biddle Road and Airport Road. Currently this intersection operates at a LOS C. According to the applicant's TIA, the intersection will operate at LOS E on the day of opening. Per the Revised City of Medford letter dated January 5, 2016 (Attachment `T-1"), the applicant will be required to contribute toward construction of a signal at the intersection (See Condition No. 3). e. Table Rock Road at Morningside Street. Per the Revised City of Medford staff report dated January 5, 2016 (Attachment "I -P'), the applicant shall be required to contribute toward construction of a left mm lane at the intersection of Table Rock Road and Morningside Street (Condition No. 4). 2. Parking. the applicant's puking plan proposes 783 parking spaces fur warehouse members. The maximum parking spaces allowed based on the allocation of uses is 698 spaces. In accordance with CPMC 17.64.040(8)(2), the applicant is requesting an adjustment to allow for the proposed increase in parking based on a parking demand analysis specific to Costae Wholesale operations in Oregon (Attachment "C"). Resolution: The applicant's parking demand analysis recommends a minimum parking ratio oF4.83 parking spaces per 1,000 s.f. of Gross Floor Arca (GFA) to maintain a 90% utilization rate. According the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation, 4'" Edition, when more than 90% of the parking spaces in a parking lot are occupied, there is an increase in illegal puking and repeating circulation. Costco's parking plan provides slightly more parking than the minimum recommendation to accommodate typical peak periods as well as provide additional spaces for seasonal peaks. Staff Page 3 of 5 recmnmends that the requested increase in parking is warranted. 3. Signage. The applicant's signage plan includes wall signs that are proportional to scale and size of the building- Although none of the proposed signs exceed 3.8% of the wall area on any elevation, they exceed the maximum sign area allowed in the M-1 zone. Resolution: Approval of the requested signage for the proposed rise is subject to approval of a Class "C" Variance, which will be presented to the Planning Commission for consideration (File No. 15032, Agenda Item VI -C)- Based on the applicant's proportionality rationale for the proposal, the variance request is deemed reasonable. However, if the variance is not approved, the applicant will be required to demonstrate compliance with the M-1 sign area standards prior to building permit issuance. 4. Lot Consolidation. The project site includes four (4) lots widen the Federal Way Business Park Subdivision. Based on staffs evaluation ofthe lot dimensions and site plan, the proposed warehouse occupies three (3) of the existing lots. The applicant has indicated it is their intent to consolidate the lots.

Section 1 Executive Summary CenM1d PoMr Caettv Ce,ebprcnr F,Iw•uMe Summery EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 'g '#t1W6 XWberMIS Costco Wholesale is proposing to develop a new warehouse and fuel station located station located In the southwest quadrant of the Table Rack Rood/Hamrick Road intersection in Central Point, Oregon. This report summarizes the evaluation of the transportation impacts of the proposed development and provides recommended mitigation measures to accommodate its development. The analysis and evaluation completed for the Central Point Costco development resulted In the fallowing findings: Project Description • Castro Wholesale is proposing to develop a new warehouse and fuel station located in the southwest quadrant of the Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road intersection in Central Point, Oregon. o The development plan includes a 160,000 square -foot Castro warehouse and a 24 fueling position Costco Gasoline fuel station. This new Central Point Ccstco will replace the existing Medford Costco located at 3639 Crater Lake Hwy in Medford, Oregon. • The parcels of land that in which the proposed Costco would occupy are zoned as M-1 (Industrial) which allows the development of the Costco warehouse and fuel station with a conditional use permit (no land use or zoning changes are required). • In order to hest evaluate the anticipated transportation characteristia of the proposed Central Point Costco development, it was agreed that the Costco -specific date he used to most accurately represent the anticipated traffic characteristics of the unique development type. • The proposed Costco development n estimated to generate a total of approximately 10,670 net new trips on a daily basis, 900 net new trip ends during the weekday p.m. peak hour and approximately 1,365 net new trip ends during the weekend midday peak hour. • The distribution pattern for site generated trips was developed using zip code data from current memberships at the existing Costco warehouse located on OR 62 (Crater Lake Highway) in Medford, Oregon, as well as from the existing traffic patterns and major trip origins end destinations within the study area and the regional travel demand model. Embating Conditions • The study evaluated 12 off site Intersections in addition to site access points. • The study evaluated two time periods for each evaluation scenario: weekday p.mpeak hour and weekend midday peak hour. rrwwn a bercl•ta Mr. cowl Porn r ro.rco u..kpn.nr e�.,m. su,mm•ry Pent01S am 2ms • Based on recent traffic counts collected in May and July 2015, all of the study Intersections were found to operate at acceptable operating standards during the existing weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours except for the Table Rock Road/Airport Road intersection during weekday p.m. peak. o The Table Rock Road/Alrport Road Intersection is stop controlled in the westbound direction. Under existing conditions In the weekday p.m. peak hour, there is high delay for the critical movement (westbound left -turn) resulting In LOS F. • Crash data the most recent fie years (2009 — 2013) at all of the study intersections was reviewed to identify historical safety trends. o Turning movement and rear -end crashes were the most common crash type at the intersections, accounting for approximately 82%of all crashes. o There were no fatality crashes. o Four study Intersections were found to be in the 90th percentile and in compliance ODOT's SPIS: 1-558 Ramps/E Pine Street, Table Rock Road/W Was Road, OR 62 (Crater Lake H[ghway)/Y/ Was Road, and Table Rack Road/OR 99. guild Year 2016 A ealysia • The transportation impact analysis ewluated two different future year scenarios: year 2016, the assumed build out year of the development, and year 2030 a long -tens planning year. • The 2016 build -year background traffic analysis (without Inclusion of the project traffic) found that all of the study Intersections are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service and volume-to-capactty ratios during the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours except for the Table Rock Road/Airport Road iMerwctlon during weekday p.m. peak hour. o As under existing conditions, during the weekday p.m. peak hour there is high delay for the critical movement (westbound left -turn) resulting in LAS F. In addition, the critical movement is also operating with a volume -to -capacity ratio of greater than 0.95 In the build year (2016) background conditions (with no traffic from the proposed Costca development). • The build -year 12016) total tragic analysis(wfth inclusion of the project traffic) found that all study Intersections will continue to operate at acceptable krsels of service during the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours with the exception of: o 1-5 NB Ramps & East Pine Street exceeds COOT standards (lane group v/c ratio s 0.85) with the northbound rlght-tum lane group's v/c ratio of 0.87 during the weekday p.m. peak hour. The need for additional capacity for this northbound right - turn movement hn been previously identified In the Final Draft [AMP: Exit 33 study which rails for the widening of the 1-5 northbound off -ramp to add a second right - turn lane at the northbound approach to East Pine Street. ODOT and the City of amort s a„o�mro, mr. a�r,alaomr wrco o..�v„K�r vyecir 15016 a reals Central Point are currently in discussions to determine Costco's appropriate proportional fair share contribution to this improvement as mitigation for the site generated trip Impacts. o Table Rock Road & Airport Road, as under existing and 2016 background conditions, continues to operate at a LOS F during the weekend p.m. peak hour. Improvements to the Table Rock Road/Airport Road intersection arc scheduled in year 2017 as part of Table Rock Road widening and a signal will be added to the Intersection. Th's Intersection is an existing deficiency; however, given that this Improvement is not currently scheduled until 2017, Jackson County and the City of Central Paint are currently in discussions to determine an appropriate contribution to this improvement as mitigation in the Interim for the Costco project. o Biddle Road & Airport Road experiences a higher delay tar the critical movement of the westbound approach, dropping from LOS C to E during the weekday p.m. peak period due to site -generated traffic. Even with the site generated traffic, the intersection is operating at a very low volume -to -capacity, ratio of 0.45 in the weekday p.m. peak hour and 0.141n the weekday midday peak hour. Site Access Ana/ys/s In the build year 2016 scenario, all site access Intersections are projected to operate at acceptable levels -of -service and volume -to -capacity, ratios during both the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours, with the exception of the Table Rock Road/Northeast access. Note this is assuming this access is a full movement access and no Improvements to Table Rack Road are completed. Under this scenario, the critical eastbound left -turn movements at the Table Rock Road/Northeast access Is projected to operate at LOS F during the weekday p.m. peak hour, however, It Is still projected to operate well under capadty and meet the County's operational standard. Even though the build year (2016) analysis showed that all of the site accesses will be able to operate as proposed upon site opening before the Table Rock Road improvements art constructed, an evaluation of access alternatives for Table Rock Road was also completed to compare haw temporary improvements would impact the access operations in the interim. a The access scenarlos compared were: o Build Year (2016) Total Trafflc Conditions (Le., Full Access to Table Rock Road) with No Table Rock Road Improvements pas summarized above) o Build -Year (2016) Total Traffic Conditions with Temporary Table Rock Road Improvements (I.e., temporary widening of Table Rock Road along the site frontage to provide a center left -turn lane untll the ultimate widening project is constructed) n.. a su 6.1 me RnMlValnt U,2o CeMopmen[ Elrt[uAb6un�niory P.jnta PA96 IXr WNas o Build Year (2016) Total Traffic Conditions with Restricted Right-In/Right-Out Site Accesses (restrict Table Rack Road across to right-in/right-out only untll the ultimate widening project is constructed) The access afternatives evaluation found that: o Assuming full movement access and no improvements to Table Rock Road, the eastbound left -turns at the northeast access to Table Rock will experience relatively long delay (resulting in LOS F) but the access will still operate well under capacity and meet the County's operational standard during the critical time period. o Providing temporary widening along the site frontage to provide a temporary center turn Lane will allow all Table Rack Road accesses to operate acceptably as full movements until the ultimate Table Rock Road widening improvements are constructed in 2017. a Restricting the site's Table Rock Road accesses to right-in/right-out only will allow those accesses to operate at acceptable levels of service and volume -to -capacity ratios. However, It will add additional left -turn movements at the Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road intersection thus resulting in ovenccapacfty and LOS F conditions at that local This Impact could he reduced by adding temporary widening around the intersection to provide a northbound left -turn lane as well as a center refuge area north of Hamrick to allow vehicles turning left from Hamrick to make a two stage gap acceptance maneuver for the left -turn. o Once the ultimate Table Rack Road widening improvement is constructed in 2017, all site accesses to Table Rock Road will operate a good levels of service (LOS C or letter) and volume -to -capacity ratios (v/x0.21 or better) during the peak hour periods assuming they are full access movements. From a safety perspective, a predictive safety analysis found that: o Providing full movement accesses to Table Rack Road In the near-term with its current two lane configuration shows the probability for 1.2 crashes per year to occur combined at the two access points. o If these were restricted to right-in/right-out only driveways, the safety prediction lowers to a probability of 0.83 crashes per year (about a 30% decrease in probability). o If temporary widening was provided In the Interim for a two-way left -tum lane along the site's frontage, the probability would lower to 0.76 crashes per year (about a 30% decrease in probability). o The safety predictive analysis also shows that once the ultimate Table Rock Road widening Improvements are In place the safety prediction lowers as well to 0.77 crashes per year even with maintaining full movement accesses at both locations. pnehon a imcnora, Inr.

Because of the planned roadway improvements along Table Rack Road, there is a significant benefit to the traffic operations at the site accesses along Table Rock Road when compared to the build -year (2016) total traffic scenario. Parking Assessment • City of Central Point Municipal Code directs that a parking supply of 670 parking spaces be provided for the Costco development (assuming retail land use). • The project is proposing to provide a total of 782 parking spaces on site. • As part of this report, a parking demand analysis was completed to demonstrate and documents justification for the proposed Increase in parking supply. • Actual parking supply and demand data from other Costco sites in Oregon indicates that a minimum parking ratio of 4.71 spaces/1,000 sq -ft he provided In order to supply enough parking to meet Costco specific demands. • Applying the demonstrated minimum parking supply of 4.71 spaces/1,000 sq -ft to the proposed Central Point Costca development equates to a minimum recommended parking supply of 753 spaces. • This indicates that the proposed parking supply of 782 is slightly higher than this minimum amount but within a reasonable range and will provide an appropriate parking supply to accommodate typical peak perlods as well as additional spaces for seasonal peaks as well. ~..a Nr xxx'l1a Section 2 Introduction CmrMvvmrmerco oeMapnenr vmrmta]9era muvduuoo nmx.aus INTRODUCTION Rittelson & Associates, Ina (RAI) has conducted a Transportation Impact Study (TIS) per requirements of City of Central Point's Zoning Cade Section 17.05.900. The TIS examines the current transportation network and addresses the transportation Impacts of the proposed Costco Wholesale development in Central Point, Oregon. The scope, methodoiogy, and key assumptions within the TIS were reviewed and agreed upon by the City of Central Point, Jackson County, and the Oregon Department of Transportation. In addition, the City of Medford was given the opportunity to review and comment on these elements (although no comments were received). PROJECT DESCRIPTION Costco Wholesale is proposing to develop a new warehouse and fuel station located roughly one mile southeast of the Interstate 5 (1-5) & Pine Street interchange In Central Point, Oregon. The site is located In the south-west quadrant of the Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road Intersection. The development plan for the 13 -acre site includes a 160,000 square -foot Castro warehouse and a 24 fueling position Costco Gasoline fuel station. Currently, the site is undeveloped, The development is planned to be completed and operational by October 2016. This new Central Point Costco will replace the existing Medford Costco located at 3639 Crater lake Hwy In Medford, Oregon. The project site plan with access driveways to each of the bordering roadways h illustrated In Figure 1. Project Location The proposed site is situated south of Hamrick Road between Table Rock Road and Federal Way as Illustrated in Figure 2 . Table Rock Road serves as the eastern boundary of the site. The property south of the site is currently owned and operated by FedEx Ground. The land use directly south, west and north of the site is designated as M-1 (Industrlal) and M-2 (Industrial General) as referenced in Central Point Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2008-2030 (Reference 1). The Costco development Is an allowed use under the industrial zone designation with a conditions use permit. Costco Trip Generation Characteristics Before and after data from other comparable Costco sites was reviewed to determine a representative trip generation estimate for the development. Based on a 160,000 square foot warehouse and a 24 - position gasoline facllity, the proposed warehouse and fuel station is estimated to generate 10,670 net new daily trips. Of those trips, 900 net new (445 Inbound, 455 outbound) trips and 1,365 net new (695 inbound, 670 outbound) trips are expected to occur during the weekday p.m. peak hour and weekend midday peak hour, respectively. nroron• Auotlane, sent �� .-r. r.IA r.]f....rv1fJ rk6I mu SITE PLAN I FIGURE CENTRAL POINT COSTCO 1 CENTRAL POINT, OREGON Krt rticox 8 Az]oQME].

Transit Facilities Rouge Valley Transportation District (RVTD) is a public transportation service provider, providing paratransR and fixed -route bus service within Jackson County. RVTD's central bus station is located in downtown Medford, providing eight fixed -route bus routes servicing the cities of Ashland, Central Point, Jacksonville, Medford, Phoenix, Talent, and White City. RVTD's Route 40 provides weekday service between Medford and Central Point with stops along East Pine Street west of 1-5. However, Route 40 does not have any stops within the vicinity of the proposed Costco site. There are no fixed-hus mutes or stops within the vicinity of the proposed site. STUDY AREA INTERSECTIONS The City of Central Point has completed several studies of transportation needs in partnership with Jackson County and ODOT. The City of Central Paint's 2030 Transportation System Pian (Reference 2) offers a comprehensive assessment of long-term transportation needs within Central Point. In addition, ODOT recently completed an Interchange Area Management Plan (TAMP) for the 1-5/Eost Pine Street Interchange (Reference 3). In addition, the Jackson County TSP is currently being updated (expected adoption in October or November 2015). Recognizing the long-term transportation needs, this TIA focuses an the analysis of study intersections within the site vicinity of the proposed Central Paint Costco site. Rased an knowledge of the transportation network within the site's vicinity and a previous coordination meeting with the City, County and COOT, the following 12 study intersections were Identified for Inclusion in this report: 1. 1-5 58 Ramp & East Pine Street - (traffic signal) 2. 1-5 NR Ramp & East Pine Street- (traffic signal) 3. Peninger Road &East Pine Street -(traffic signal) 4. Hamrick Road &East Pine Street - (traffic signal) S. Federal Way & Hamrick Road -(unsignalixed intersection) 6.

In addition, existing lane geometry was documented, including turn pocket lengths, as well as pedestrian and bicycle facilities and the presence of trunsitand transit amenities. For signalized intersections, KAI obtained traffic signal timings from ODOT and the City of Central Point in order to correctly model and analyze each intersection. Appendix A" includes the existing weekday p.m. peak period and weekend midday peak period counts at each of the study Inteneztions. In addition to analyzing the 12 study Intersections, the proposed site plan Includes six new driveways to access the site, each of which will be analyzed In accordance to the roadway jurisdiction it is located. As shown in Figure 1, the six proposed site access include: • Northern full -access driveway located on Federal Way; • Southern full -access driveway located on Federal Way; • Eastern Hamrick goad driveway right-in/right-out access; • Western Hamrick goad driveway full -access (full access); • Northern full -access on Table Rock Road; and • Southern full -access on Table Rack Road. More information about the performance of these site accesses, as well as the assessment of access alternative scenarios, is provided later in this report. INTERSECTION OPERATING STANDARDS Thr nperating standards of four jurisdictions were used to assess the operations of the 12 study intersections based on their respective location. The four Jurisdictions are- City of Central Point, City of Medford, Jackson County, and Oregon Department of Transportation. City of Central Point Operating Standards Central Point uses performance standards based on level of service (LOS). All LOS analyses described in this report were performed in accordance with the procedures stated in the 2000 Hlphway Capac;tY Manual (HCM 2000) (Reference 4) as required by the City of Central Paint's 2030 Transportation System Plan. HCM 2000 defines LOS as a quality measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, generally In terms such as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic Interruptions, and comfort and convenience. When analyzing traffic conditions, LOS Is used as a measure of performance (corresponding to delay) at an intersection with values ranging from LOS "A", Indicating goad operations and low vehicle delay, to LOS "F", which Indicates an intersection at, or over capacity with high vehicle delay. Table 2 provides the City of Central Point's LOS standards for signalized and unsignalized Intersections. The Citys policies require Intersections to operate at LOS D or better. A description of Level afservim and its criteria is presented In Appendix "g". amprvomr m'n r..ron ' r,olnr rssava rx.oa c-dit r a.m 'zass Table 2.

F SW ]tt .W Sv[ Jackson County Operating Standards The acceptable motor vehicle performance standard for signalized and unslgnalized Intersections per Jackson County Transportation System Plan (Reference 5) is a volume -to -capacity ratio (V/C Ratio) no greater than 0.95 within the boundary of the Metropolitan Planning Organization and 11.85 outside of the MPO boundary. Each study intersection is within the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization (RVMPO) boundary. Therefore, intersections falling within the County s jurisdiction will he assessed assuming a VIC ratio standard of o.95. ODOT Operating Standards ODOT operates and maintains the study intersections for the ramp termini of 1-5. ODOT's operating standard for interchange ramps Is a maximum V/C ratio for the ramp terminal that is more restrictive than the V/C ratio for the crossroad, or 0.85 as identified In the COOT OHP Policy IF Revbions (Reference 6). For signalized Intersections an arterial roads under ODOTjurisdiction, the V/C ratio must he no greater than 0.95. At intersections where one or more approach" Is maintained by a city or ODOT, the more restrictive of the agency's performance standard will be applied as stated in the Jackson County Transportation System Plan. Intersections within the City of Central Point and the City of Medford limits will be assessed assuming ODOT operating standards must be met. Study intersections which have governing agencies for more than one approach Include OR 99/Table Rock Road and OR 62 (Crater take Rwyj/East Villas Road intersections. Based on the direction from the Jackson County Transportation System Plan, ODOT's operating standards will be applied when analyzing these locations. Table 3 summarizes the intersection operational standards and Jurisdiction administering associated with the existing study Intersections. Central Point Street Jurisdiction Mop (Reference 7) was used to determine the jurisdiction of each study interaction. pfnUan ant .."l— cmmn romt m,lco oaraap,ene F o-wp andldory Table 3.Oparatloltal Standards for Existing Study Intersections Pmleafar91146 orbbe.2ms 1 1-5 s9 awnp a E Rae sc 0om smamne nvup V/r so.as ] 1-5 Me Ramp a EPlnst 000T slemmen Lane ynup Y/C sodas 3 PenlnRr Rd a E pule sL Marl, County si,R,WRd 0.95 vic 6CRg 4 Namdck ad Pin sr CGnbal Polnl sanalued v/C s 0.95 a4 LOS o or better 5 FedenlWryaNamdd RJ C.u,, C"f CmPuine suY std,"Icvnerol do enlWry v/c s 0.95 and LOS o ar t r 6 Tabu Rad Rd a E YIW Ad Count, SenelheE Vic 50.95 1 Tatu Rod Rd a addle Rd Count, Sentrud V/C S 0.95 a Tau.

The Impact of traffic generated by the proposed Costco development during the typical weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours was examined as follows: • Other planned in -process developments and transportation improvements within the study area were documented; • General background growth in the area was estimated; • Project-genanted trips were estimated for build -out of the project; • Project trip -distribution patterns were derived from Costco membership data, existing traffic patterns, a region wide travel demand model and a select zone analysis within Central Point were valuated; • Build-year(2016) and future year (2030)condhionswere analyzed with the addition ofsite- generated traffic at each of the study intersections and site -access points during the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours; • Operatlonal and safety assessments were completed at each of the proposed site accesses and the intersection affable Rock Road/Hamrick Road build -year plus project, and future year plus project scenarios; and • On-site parking standards and proposed parking supply was evaluated. PLANNED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS This section provides a summary of transportation improvements that are planned and can be assumed to be completed under the two future year scenarios (per agency direction). These transportation Improvements have been Identified by the City of Central Point, Jackson County, as well as OOOT and documented in the City of Central Point's 7030 Transportation System Plan, Final Draft TAMP: 1-5 Exit 33, and Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization's 2009 — 2034 Regional Transportation Plan (Reference 8). Under the direction of the City of Central Paint and OOOT, KAI has assumed the planned roadway improvements listed in the Final Draft /AMP: 1.5 Exlt 33 based on the year of estimated completion, as well as all Tier 1 improvements (within the site's vicinity) listed in the City of Central Point's 2030 Transportation System Plan. Tier 1 improvements have been defined as financially constrained projects that can be reasonably funded within the next twenty years. These Improvements have been classified as either short (2008 —2012), medium (2013 — 2011) or long-term (2018-2030) improvements. nHeaan a.dwVNry W.

Based on the findings from the most recent Final Draft /AMP: 1-5 Exit 33 completed In May 2015 the following planned roadway improvements will be assumed. • 1-5 Southbound On -Ramp: The description of the planned project includes widening East Pine Street beginning at the west and of the freeway overpass to add a second westbound left -turn lane with up to 200 feet of additional storage. This project Includes the widening of the southbound on-ramp to create two receiving lanes that merge to a single Ione. The estimated cost of the project is $1.7 million and has been designated as low to medium priority, therefore this project will be included the future year (2030) scenarlos ofthis TIA. • 1-5 Northbound Ramp Terminal: The description of the planned project includes widening the 1-5 northbound off -ramp to add a second right -turn lair at the northbound approach to East Pine Street. The second turn lane would provide an additional 350 feet of storage for to manage queuing on the off -ramp that cannot be managed with signal timing. The estimated cos[ of the project is $1.3 million and has been designated as low to medium priority, therefore this project will be included the future Veer (2030) scenarios of this TIA. East Pine Street at Hamrick Road: The study verdles and calls for the Implementation of Central Point TSP Tier I Project #216, which widens the west and north approaches to add a dual left -turn lane and second receiving lane. Central Point Transportation System Plan Planned Improvements The planned transportation Improvement program prioritized roadway improvement projects between 2008 and 2030. There was no Tier 1 short term (2008 — 2012) projects that occurred on the study roadways within the site's vicinity. Listed below are the Tier I roadway improvement projects that will be included In future (year 2030) analyses. • Tier I Project # 213 — Table Rock Road & South Hamrick Road Intersection: Although the City's current TSP calls for a signal at the Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road, discussions with City of Central Point and Jackson County Staff have Indicated this is no longer a planned or desired Improvement. As such, no signal at the intersection of 7,1610 Rock Road/Nsmrlck Road has been a wnW In the 0naiyala. • Tier I Project R 216 — East Pine Street & Hamrick Road: The project description Includes widening the west and north approaches In order to add a second astbound left -turn lane and second recxMng lane. The project also includes restriping the northbound approach to Include dual left -turns and a single through-shamd-right turn lean. In addition, the project includes restriping the southbound approach to include a left turn, through and exclusive right -turn lanes. Identified as a medium priority, this project will be Included in the future year (2030) scenadas. nism•a aw�om, x,. ren(ml pdn[Who Cenbpmen[ T•ApvrtNlpn ImpXr,4plyai• PrynYp1T46 IXroEnl0l5 • Tler 1 Pm;ect g 218 — East Pine Street & Table Rock Road: The project description includes widening the west approach to add a second eastbound left -turn lane to help reduce queuing and minimize delay at the intersection. The project has been identified as a long- term project and will be included in the future year (2030) scenarios. • Tler I Project M 219 — Table Rack Road & West Vilas Road: The project description includes widening to increase capacity by adding an eastbound lane and shared through -right turn movement. The project has been identified as a long-term project and will be included in the future year (2030) scenarios. RVMPO 2009-2034 Regional Transportation Plan Planned Improvements • Table Rock Road Improvements: RVMPO, the City of Central Point, and Jackson County have identified significant capacity improvements to Table Rock Road between the 1-5 overpass and Biddle Road. Under Projecbk 821, Table Rock Road Is schedule to be widened from a two lane crass section to four lanes and a continuous center turn al with bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the roadway from Biddle Road to Airport Road. South of Airport Road, Table Rock Road will he widened to a three lane cross section with bike lames and sidewalks on both sides of the roadway continuing to the 1-5 overpass. Currently, this project Is scheduled to be constructed in 2017. The project will also include the sigralization ofthe Table Rock Resell part Road Intersection. • Federal Way Extension: Federal Way is currently only accessible via Hamrick Road and terminates just south of the FedEx Ground freight facility entrance. The City of Central Point Transportation System Plan shows the potential for a future connection of Federal Way to tie into the future signalized Intersection at Table Rock Road/Airport Road. While the timing of the Federal Way connection has not been determined, the slgnalization the Table Rack Road/Airport Road Intersection will occur in 2037 with completion of the Table Rock Road widening. The extension of Federal Way will be included in the future year (2030) scenarios. • OR 62: 1-5 to Dutton Road Planned Roadway Improvement: Currently, OR 62 (Crater Lake Highway) exceeds capacity standards. ODOT and the RVMPO has completed the necessary studies to begin the Oregon 62 Expressway projecq which is a multlmodal soli that will increase capacity and Improve safety along the corridor, a critical business connection for freight, tourism and commuters (Reference 91. The 4.5 mile project will run on the east side of the Medford Airport, parallel to Crater take Highway, beginning at Whittle Avenue bypassing Commerce Drive, Coker Butte Road and Vila Road before cannecting beck with OR 62 just north of Corey Road. The project is projected to begin construction in late fall 2016. For the purpose of this study, KAI has Incorporated the change In travel patterns and growth based on the regional travel demand model for both future year (2030) background and total traffic scenarios. Based an the travel demand models, vehicular growth at the study intersection of OR 62/W Was Road will not experience growth In the northbound and southbound direction to and from OR 62 between the build -year (2016) and future year sx umvo•a,ur•dom, IM.

PLANNED IN -PROCESS DEVELOPMENTS In -process development plans were obtained from the City of Central Point. The in -process developments to be assumed in this study include the approved residential development for White Hawk. This development includes apartments, duplexes, and a 5.5 acre city park at the intersection of Beebe Road and Gabbard Road. The project was granted approval in 2014 and has a design year of 2017. Site -generated trips and trip distribution information from this project was derived from the White Hawk Development TmfJic Impact Analysis (Reference 10). BUILD -YEAR (2016) BACKGROUND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS The build -year (2016) background scenario analysed how the study area's transportation system will operate without the site -generated traffic In year 2016. Build -year background traffic conditions were analysed for both the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours. Background Growth Rales TraMc growth within the study area is expected to follow the trends adopted In the final Draft TAMP: I- 5 Exit 33. The growth described in the IAMP used models prepared by ODOT's Transportation Planning Analysis Unit (TPAU). In conjunction with the forecasted growth of households, population and employment, a base year 2006 and future year 2038 trawl demand model were provided by COOT. After review of the study area's model and previous studies a 2.0% annual growth rate was determined and agreed upon to be applied to existing turning movement counts collected at the study intersections. Traffic Volumes The traffic volumes developed for the build -year (20161 background scenario reflect existing traffic counts plus one year of annual background growth and in -process development traffic. Level of Service Analysis As mentioned previously, all level of service analyses described in this section were performed in accordance with the procedures stated in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual as required by the City of Central Point 2030 Transportation Systems Plan. Operating standards at the study intersections were assessed based an the jurisdiction in which the study intersection Is located. acevo� • n..orran, rz.

The database contains transportation Information such as trip rates, trip type percentages, and parking demand for Cove. locations In the United States, as well as Canada and Mexico. A large portlon of the data Is from existing Costco sites In the Pacific Northwest. The data base Is updated and refined each time new Costco traffic counts or information become available to KAI. In order to best evaluate the anticipated transportation characteristics of the proposed Central Point Como development, it was agreed that the Costco database information be used In this TIS since it provides use -specific data that most accurately represents the anticipated traffic characteristic of the unique development type. Costco has Invested significant effort Into developing this site-specific trip generation database for both their warehouses and their fuel stations because of the unique characteristics of Costco customer travel that exists due to membership requirements and the nature of Costco sola. These unique elements apply to the trip generation and distribution for Costco warehoum, Costco Gasoline fuel stations, and the interaction of trips between the two. COSTCO TRIP GENERATION CHARACTERISTICS The data collected at existing Costco developments in Oregon and Washington indicates the trip generation characteristics summarized in Table 7 Including total trip ends as well as pass -by trips ends from the surrounding street systems. Generally, trip generation characteristics of Costco warehouses also Include diverted trips, however, due to the location of the proposed she and Its distance tram 1-5, OR 62 (Crater lake highway) and other major facilities, it was agreed with the agencies that diverted trips would essentially be considered new trips through the outlined study Intersections. Therefore, a specific diverted trip reduction was not applied in this study. In addition, the pass -by trip rates used in this study are significantly lower than those found at most Costco locations. Surveys at existing Costco sites typically demonstrate pass -by rates in the range of 3U-35% during the weekday and weekend peak hours. however, again due W the relatively low volumes currently on the adjacent streets to the site, pass -by trips were constrained to no more than 15% of the adjacent street volume thus resulting in pass -by rates of only 7-15%.

Pass -by Trips A key trip characteristic considered was that of passby trip capture. Pass -by trips represent trips that are currently traveling on the surrounding street network for same other primary purpose (such as a trip from home to work( and stop into the site an route during their normal travel. As such, pass -by trips do not result In a net increase in traffic on the surrounding transportation system and, typically, their only effect occurs at the site driveways where they become turning movements. Again, based on existing traffic volumes on Table Rack Road and Hamrick Road, the pass -by trip reduction has been reduced to a maximum of 15% of existing weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hour volumes along thew roadways. This Is compared to the 30-35% pass -by rate documented from surveys at existing Costco developments. We believe this represents a very conservative but defensible approach to the trip generation analysis. TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND TRIP ASSIGNMENT The trip distribution pattern for site generated trips was developed using rip code done from current memberships at the existing Costco warehouse located on OR 62 (Crater lake Highway) In Medford, Oregon, as well as from the mating traffic patterns and major trip origins and destinations within the study area. Localized trip routing through the study intersections was assessed based on the lend use, traffic counts completed at the study intersections, and general patterns in the site vicinity. Additionally, OOOT provided KAI with a ban year (2006( and future year (2038) regional travel demand model, as well as a select zone analysis fur the trafflc analysis zone that the site will occupy. The models and select zone analysis verified the trip distribution patterns and slte-generated trip assignment for the proposed Costco warehouse and fueling station. Figure 6 illustrates the trip distribution throughout the site's vicinity. Bawd on the trip distribution throughout the study area, Figure 7 and Figure 8 present the slte-generated turning movement counts at each of the study Intersections and site accesses for the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peek hours to and from the proposed Costco site.

Any impacts due to site - generated traffic will be documented and mitigations will be identified at the impacted study intersections. Traffic Volumes Site -generated traffic volumes (shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8) were added to the build -year (2016) background traffic volumes for the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours (shown In Figure 5) to arrive at the build -year (2016) total traffic conditions shown in Figure 9. Intersection Operations Figure 9 also summarltesthe intersection operations analysis forthe build -year (20161 totaltral scenario. The build -year (2016) total traffic scenario Identified two additional Imera lona as not meeting operational standards compared to these not previously Identified in the buildyear(2016) background scenario. Table 5 also presents the build -year (2016) total traffic operation results at each of the study intersections. All of the study intersections operate at acceptable levels of service during the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours with the exception oF. • 1.5 No Ramps i East Pira Street exceeds ODOT standards (lane group vie ratio 5 0.85) with the northbound right -turn lane group's vyc ratio of0.87 duringthe weekday p.m. peak hour. • Table Rock Road A, Airport Rood, as under existing and 2026 background mnditlons, continues to operate at a LOS F during the weekend p.m. peak hour. However, delay at the intersection Increases due to trips accessing Table Rock Road. During the weekend midday peak hour, site -generated traffic causes delay to increase by approximately 31 seconds, causing the level of service to drop from LOS C to LOS E. • Riddle Rood A Airport Rood experiences a higher delay for the critical movement of the westbound approach, dropping from LOS C to E during the weekday p.m. peak period due to site -generated traffic. While no slie-generated tragic is expected to be coming from the westbound approach, the delay Increases because of the amount of vehicles making the northbound left at the unsignallnd intersection. Even with the site generated traffic, the intersection Is operating at a very low volume-ta-capacity ratio of 0.451n the weekday p.m. peak hour and 0.141n the weekday midday peak hour. x�xehon AArto ,,roc QntIW PoMt CneKa C¢vebpment Prcq'eoe N]Wa6 rrarpartaMon lmpxtd�wlysla C[bBer]O15 Table 4 Build -Year (1016) Total Traffic Conditions 1.455B Aamp IE+II PIn+51nV PM peeF B B6 O.BI DWT IO Po+R B d➢a O.M $. 45 XB Ramp4Fea[Plne Sbst ��~ C yll \� OCOT MlOveaY G dib 063 3.

IXtolerl015 Site Access Operations There are six proposed driveways accessing the Central Point Costco site, two on each of the site's bordering frontage roads. on the west side of the site, two full accesses are proposed with movements accessible to northbound and southbound on Federal Way. A full access (Closest to Federal Way( and right-In/right out access (closest to Table Rack Roadl are proposed on the north side of the she with access to and from Hamrick Road. Finally, there are two full accesses proposed on along Table Rack Road. The southern -most driveway on Table Rock Road would be the primary access for vehicles to access the Costco Gasoline fuel station. Table 9 presents the traffic operations at the proposed site accesses. The governing agency's standard is determined by the roadway in which the site access Is located.

Note 013 13 assuming this access Is a full movement access and no Improvements to Table Rack Road are completed. Under this scenario, the critical eastbound left -turn movements at the Table Rock Road/Northeast access is projected to operate at LOS F during the weekday p.m. peak hour, however, It is still projected to operate well under capacity and meet the County's operatlanal standard with a volume -to -capacity ratio of 0.52. This means that while drivers wishing to make a left -turn out of this location will experience delay, they will still be able to find sufflclent gaps in the trafnc flow along Table Rack Road to complete the turn.

As outlined above, the build year (2016) scenario Identified two additional intersections as not meeting operational standards compared to those not previously identified in the build -year (2016) background scenario: the 1-5 NB Ramp/E Pine Street and Table Rock Road/Airport Road intersections. Mitigations for both these locations have already been identified through previous planning efforts by the City of Cental Point, Jackson County, and ODOT. These are discussed below. Appendix Rhi" contains the build -year (2016) mitigated traffic operation worksheets for the intersections outlined below. 1-5 NE Ramp A East Plne Street Mftigotlon Site -generated trips Increase the northbound right -turn lane's v/c ratio by 2% during the weekday p.m. peak hour, resulting in a v/c ratio for the lane group of 0.87. This is greater than ODOT's standard of a maximum vile of 0.85 for each lane groups at a ramp Interchange. The need for additional capacity for this northbound right -turn movement has been previously identified in the Final Draft TAMP: Exit 33 study which calls for the widening of the 1-5 northbound off -ramp to add a second right -turn lane at the northbound approach to East Pine Street. The second turn lane would provide an additional 350 feet of storage to manage queuing on the off ramp that cannot be managed with signal timing. Based an the assumed parameters of the project, this project would have the following benefit at the 1-5 NB Off - Ramp Intersection: The northbound right -turn lane group would operate with a v/c ratio of 0.49 in the build - year (2016) total traffic scenario during the p.m. peak hour with the proposed improvements stated in the Final Draft LIMP: Exit 33. OOOT and the City of Central Point are currently In discussions to determine Castro's appropriate proportional fair share contribution to this improvement as mitigation for the she generated trip impacts. Table Rock Rood 6 Airport Road Intersection Improvements to the Table Rack Road/Airport Road intersection are scheduled in year 2017 as part of Table Rack Road widening. In addition to widening Table Rock Road at the intersection, a signal will be added to the Intersection. The details of the signalized Intersection have not yet been finalized; therefore, mitigated assumptions were based on the project description of Projects 821 In the RVMPO RTP. The signalized Intersection has the following impact: ' With the addition of a signal, the level of service and delay improves significantly during bath the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hour. Based on a 60 second cycle length the Intersection operates it L05 A with an average delay of 9.7 seconds per vehicle and a v/c ratio of 0.51 during the weekday p.m. peak hour. b xlNtrona,Walaey Mr. CenVol Pofif rn•Rn OeMopment PmlecrllStlK rro„,Pwemw+rn,vrra,wry.a aene.rmss • The westbound approach Improves to a LOS B with an approach delay of 15.4 seconds per vehicle with the signal, compared to LOS F and an approach delay over 100 wands without a signal during the weekday p.m. peak hour under build -year (2016) total traffic conditions. This Intersection is an existing deficiency; however, given that this Improvement Is not currently scheduled until 2017, Jackson County and the City of Central Point are currently in discussions to determine an appropriate contribution to this Improvement as mitigation in the Interim for the Costco Project TABLE ROCK ROAD ACCESS ALTERNATIVES Even though the build year (2016) analysis showed that all of the site accesses will be able to operate as proposed upon site opening before the Table Rock Road Improvements are constructed, an evaluation of access alternatives for Table Rock Road was also completed to compare how temporary Improvements would Impact the access operations In the Interim until the Table Rock Road widening Is completed in 2017. The accessscenarios compared were: • Build Year(2026)Total Traffic Conditions (i.e., Full Access to Table Rock Road)with No Table Rock Road Improvements (as summarized above) • Build -Year (2016) Total Traffic Conditions with Temporary Table Rock Road Improvements (Le., temporary widening of Table Rock Road along the site frontage to provide a center left - turn lane until the ultimate widening project is constructed) • Build -Year (2016) Total Traffic Conditions with Restricted Right-In(Rlght-Out Ate Accesses (restrict Table Rock Road access to right-In/rlghtaut only until the ultimate widening project Is constructed) Operational Comparison Table 10 compares the access operational results for these three scenarios. Also Included for comparison are the operational results for the Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road intersection which does change depending an how the site's Table Rock Road accesses arc configured. 47 ~_4 auW.M n•. cm.M oN,r .av,db mt rmnrpdrt,Uo .fipatdnolyf6 Table 10.

However, R will add additional left -turn movements at the Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road Intersection thus resulting in over -capacity and LOS F conditions atthat location.

Safety Comparison In addition to the access operations comparison outlined above, the predicted safety, performance of the accesses under the various alternatives was rcvkwed. A safety Analysis was performed for the Table Rock Road accesses using the predictive crash methodology from Chapter 12 of the Highway Safety Manual, with adjusted crash calibration factors from Coors, calibrating the Highway Safety Manual Predictive Methods for Oregon Highways. The accesses were evaluated as unsignalbed Intersections (slnce no specific safety predictive functions are provided for accesses). The analysis looked at five scenarios: a amapn•Auo,koo, Mc.

If these were restricted to right-in/right-out only driveways, the safety prediction lowers to a probability of 0.93 crashes per year (about a 30% decrease in probability). If temporary widening was provided in the Interim for a two-way left -tum lane along the site's frontage, the probability would lower to 0.76 crashes per year (about a 30%decresse In probabllity). The safety predictive analysis also shows that once the ultimate Table Rock Road widening improvements are in place the safety prediction lowers as well to 0.77 crashes per year even with maintaining full movement accesses at both locations. FUTURE YEAR (2030) BACKGROUND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS The future year (20301 background scenario analyzed how the study area's transportation system will operate without the site -generated traffic in year 2030, representing a 15 year lowterm future condition at the study Intersections. Fmure year trelRe conditionswere analysed for both the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours. The future year (2030) background scenario includes the planned roadway Improvements and land use developments previously mentioned for the build year as well as other planned improvements that are expected to be in piece by the year 2030 such as the Table Rock Road widening and the Table Rock Road/Airport Road intersection signal. Appendix "1" contains the future year (1030) background traffic operation worksheets for the intersections outlined below. Traffic Volumes The 2030 background traffic volumes reflect existing traffic counts plus 15 years of annual background growth and in -process development traffic. Volumes along end accessing to and from OR 62 (Crater Lake Highway) were not grown by the annual growth me due to the expected completion ofthe OR 62 Expressway project. The future year (2038) model provided by ODOT shows that daily volumes along OR 62 do not increase when compared to the base year (2008) volumes.

FUTURE YEAR (2030) MITIGATIONS This section includes the mltlgatlons to the Intersections Identified as not meeting operational standards In the year 2030. As outlined previously, there are two locatlom found to not meet standards In the year 2030 background conditions. The additional of site generated traffic did not trigger any additional locations to not meet standards in the year 2030 scenarios. The two locations found to not meet standards in the year 2030 background conditions are: a Hamrick Road & East Pine a Biddle Road &Airport Road The mitigated result for each impacted intersection is outlined below. Appendix W contains the future year (1030) mitigated traffic operation worksheets for the intersections outlined below. Hamrick Road A East Pine Street Mitigations The Intersection of Hamrick Road/Fast Pine Street experiences a heavy volume of vehicles making a southbound right -turn at the intersection, with a v/c ratio for that movement of above 1.0 during the p.m. peak hour of the future year (2030) background traffic conditions. Them have no improvements identified beyond Project #216 stated In the City Central Point's transportation system plan. In order to mitigate the intersection, there are several options: The addition of a southbound richt-tum lane would improve Intersection operations to LOS C with on ovenll v/c ratio of 0.76 and average delay of 25.2 seconds per sehicle. The v/c ratio of the southbound right -turn movement would decrease from 1.27 to 0.70 with the addition of an additional turn lane. Km o, a Auonom, In.

The project is not adding any traffic to the critical westbound approach. There are no knows plans for improvements at this location by the City of Medford but the heed for mitigation Is not triggered by the project. PARKING ASSESSMENT City of Central Point Municipal Code 17.64.010 states that all land uses shall comply with the number off-street parking requirements. These requirements for non-residential land uses ale stated in Table 17,64.028. Retail store was assumed as the general commercial use for the proposed Costco development. This use states that no more and no less than 1 parking space per 200 square -feet of net floor area (excluding storage and other non -sales or non -display areas( be provided. Based on the proposed 160,000 square -foot warehouse, of which 134,000 is usable sales space, this would equate to a minimum and maximum requirement of 570 parking spaces for the Costco development Municipal Code 17.64.040.8.2 states that the off-street requirements may be Increased based on a parking demand analysis prepared by the applicant as part of the she plan and architectural review. The parking demand analysis shall demonstrate and documents Justification for the proposed increase. Parking Demand Analysis The proposed lite plan as Illustrated In Figure 1 provides a total of 782 parking spaces which is 30% mora spaces than the maximum allowed based on Central Palat's Municipal Code. Based on the nature of Costco sales and operatlons, the proposed parking has been carefully considered and is proposed given known parking demand characteristics for Costco sites. Costco is a unique use that demonstrates the need for a particular amount of parking to accommodate typical and peak demands. In fact, one of the reasons for relocating the existing Medford Costco to Central Point Is to build an a site that can provide sufficient parking supply. Table 15 provides a summary of the documented parking supply and demand at existing Costco warehouses in Oregon (including the current Medford location). W xaeaw•x..mmn, CentmlPow C..M bpmmt i,q'xY/f9J1a Tmn...... Mpa[[AnaryfN IXmberlp35 Table 16. Typical Peak Parking Demand at Ctthar Costco WarMouatl In Oregon As shown in Table 36, these three other Costco locations demonstrate atypical peak parking demand of 4.24 spaces/1,000 sq -ft. Guidelines from the Institute of Transportation Engineer's Parking Generation, 4th Edition (Reference 11) recommend that users perceive a parking lot to be "full" once utilization reaches 90% of capacity, noting that hcreases in illegal parking and repeating circulation occur beyond this level. Given this guidance, our recommendation is to provide sufficient parking to maintain a utllization of below 90% during the typical peak periods. Table 16 shows that, based on data from other Costco developments, the parking ratio required to maintain 90% utilization during the peak or less is a minimum of 4.71 3paces/1,000 sq -ft. Applying the demonstrated minimum parking suppIV of 4.71 spaces/1,000 sq -fit to the proposed Central Point Costco development equates to a minimum recommended parking supply as summarized In Table 17. Table 17. Central Point Costco Pecommanded Parking Supply The table shows that a minimum of 753 parking spaces should be supplied in orderto provide sufficient capacity for the likely parking demand an site. This indicates that the proposed puking supply of 782 is slightly higher than this minimum amount but within a reasonable range and will provide an appropriate parking supply to accommodate typical peak periods as well as additional spaces for seasonal peaks as well. In addition to parking space totals, accessible parking requirements are presented In Table 17.64.03 of the CWs Municipal Code. For land uses providing a total number of parking spaces between 501 and 1,00% which applies the proposed Central Point Costca site, 2%oftotal parking provided is required to be accessible. Costco has planned to Include approximately 2.2% or 17 of its total parking spaces to be accessible parking, based on total parking spaces equaling 782. The site plan shows that this requirement is being met. Section 5 Conclusions & Findings onn•'(.. 99 'o..remrm•�r fmcNova Niny CONCLUSIONS & FINDINGS r 1..ensvxs omen zas The analysis and evaluation completed for the Central Point Ccstco development resulted In the following conclusions and findings: Project Description Costco Wholesale is proposing to develop a new warehouse and fuel station located in the southwest quadrant of the Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road intersection in Central Point, Oregon. o The development plan includes a 160,000 square -foot Costm warehouse and a 24 fueling position Costco Gasoline fuel station. This new Central Point Ccstco will replace the existing Medford Costco located at 3639 Crater lake Hwy in Medford, Oregon. • The parcels of land that in which the proposed Costco would occupy are zoned as M-1 (Industrial) which allows the development of the Costco warehouse and fuel station with a conditional use permit (no land use or coning changes are required). • In order to best evaluate the anticipated transportation characteristics of the proposed Central Point Costco development, it was agreed that the Costco -specific data be used to most accurately represent the anticipated traffic characteristics ofthe unique development type. The proposed Costco development is estimated to generate a total of approximately 10,670 net new trips on a daily basis, 900 net mew trip ends during the weekday p.m. peak hour and approximately 1,365 net new trip ends during the weekend midday peak hour. The distribution pattern for site generated trips was developed using rip code data from current memberships at the existing Costco warehouse located on OR 62 (Crater lake Highway) in Medford, Oregon, as well as from the existing traffic Panama and major trip origins and destinations within the study area and the regional travel demand model. Existing Conditions • The study evaluated 12 off site Intersections in addition to site access points. • The study evaluated two time Periods for each evaluation scenario: weekday p.m. peak hour and weekend midday peak hour. • gaud on recent traffic counts collected in May and July 2015, all of the study intersections were found to operate at acceptable operating standards during the existing weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours except for the Table Rock Road/Alrpert Road Intersection during weekday p.m. peak. eeMen a,u .W lM. We l.1.Ko OMbOment .ntfub &nndh e,o,Re„seas IXtaG,]W$ o The Table Rock Road/Alrport Road intersection is stop controlled in the westbound direction. Under existing conditions in the weekday p.m. peak hour, there is high delay for the critical movement (westbound left -turn) resulting in LOS F. Crash data the most recent five years (2009 — 2013) at all of the study Intersections was reviewed to Identify historical safety trends. 0 Turning movement and rear -end crashes were the most common crash type at the Intersections, accounting far approximately 82%of all crashes. o Them were no fatality crashes. o Four study intersections were found to be in the 90th percentile and in compliance ODOT's SPI5: 1-558 Ramps/E Pine Street, Table Rock Road/W Was Road, OR 62 (Crater Lake Nighway)/W Visa Road, and Table Rock Road/OR 99. g Wld Yeor 7016 Analysis • The transportation impact analysis evaluated two different future year scenarios: year 2016, the assumed build out year of the development, and year 2030 a long-term planning year. • The 2016 build -year background traffic analysis (without inclusion of the project traffic) found that all of the study Intersections are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service and volume -to -capacity ratios during the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours except for the Table Rock Road/Airport Road intersection during weekday p.m. peak hour. o As under existing conditions, during the weekday p.m. peak hour there is high delay for the critical movement (westbound left -turn) resulting in LOS F. In addition, the critical movement Is also operating with a volume -to -capacity ratio of greater than 0.95 in the build year (2016) background conditkns (with no traffic from the proposed Costco development). • The build -year (2016)total traffic analysis (with inclusion ofthe project traffic)found that all study intersections will continue to operate at acceptable levels of service during the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours with the exception of: o 1-5 NO Ramps 6 East Pine Street exceeds COOT standards (lane group v/c ratio s 0.85) with the northbound right -turn lane group's v/c ratio of 0.87 during the weekday p.m. peak hour. The need for additional capacity for this northbound right - turn movement has been previously identitled in the Final Draft TAMP: Exit 33 study which calls for the widening of the 1-5 northbound act -ramp to add a second rili turn lane at the northbound approach to East Pine Street. 0007 and the City of Central Point are currently In discussions to determine Costco's appropriate proportional fair share contribution to this Improvement as mitigation for the site generated trip impacts. rabhon a Iue,/ony W. onnm romr r�rcn lhvebpmmc m,Kiusroo.a rmuma• PryKtarIDK ame.rzau o Table Rock Road & Airport Road, asunder existing and 2016 background conditions, continues to operate at a LOS F during the weekend p.m. peak hour. Improvements to the Table Rack Road/Airport Read Intersection are scheduled in year 2017 as part of Table Rock Road widening and a signal will he added to the intersection. This Intersection Is an existing deficiency; however, given that this improvement is not currently scheduled until 2017, Jackson County and the City of Central Paint are currently in discussions to determine an appropriate contribution to this Improvement as mitigation In the Interim for the Costco project. o Biddle Road & Airport Road experiences a higher delay for the critical movement of the westbound approach, dropping from LOS C to E during the weekday p.m. peak period due to site -generated traffic. Even with the site generated tragic, the Intersection is operating at a very low volume -to -capacity ratio of 0.45 in the weekday p.m. peak hourand 0.14 in the weekday midday peak hour. Site Access Analysis • In the build year 2016 scenario, all site access intersections are projected to operate at acceptable levels -of -service and volume -to -capacity ratios during both the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours, with the exception of the Table Rock Road/Northeast access. Note this is assuming this access is a full movement access and no Improvements to Table Rock Road are completed. Under this scenario, the critical eastbound left -turn movements at the Table flack Road/Northeast access is projected to operate at 105 F during the weekday p.m. peak hour, however, it is still projected to operate well under capacity and meet the County's operational standard. • Even though the build year )2016) analysis showed that all of the site accesses will be able to operate as proposed upon site opening before the Table Rock Road improvements are constructed, an evaluation of access alternatives for Table Rock Road was also completed to compare how temporary improvements would Impact the access operations in the interim. • The access scenarios compared were: o Build Year (2016) Total Traffic Conditions (i.e., Full Access to Table flock Road) with No Table Rack Road Improvements )as summarised above) o Build -Year (2016) Total Traffic Condhions with Temporary Table Rock Road Improvements (i.e., temporary widening of Table Rod Road along the site frontage to provide a center lett-lum lane until the ultimate widening project is constructed) o Bulid-Year (2016) Total Traffic Conditions with Restricted Right-In/Right-Out Site Accesses (restrict Table Rock Road access to right-in/right-out only until the ultimate widening project is constructed) • The access alternatives evaluation found that: er aeaao•aauwab, er. a,,.1 value ox". ov.Nomenl cwvlwk,ua nntllnps P"ct a saosa a,.., IO , o Assuming full movement access and no improvements to Table Rack Road, the eastbound left -turns at the northeast access to Table Rack will experience relatively long delay (resulting in LOS F) but the access will still operate well under capacity and meetthe County's operational standard dudngthe critical time period. o Providing temporary widening along the site frontage to provide a temporarycenter turn lane will allow all Table Rock Road accesses to operate acceptably as full movements until the ultimate Table Rack Road widening improvements are constructed in 2017. o Restricting the site's Table Rack Road accesses to right-in/right-out only will allow thane accesses to operate at acceptable levels of service and volume -to -capacity ratios. However, It will add additional left -turn maverrents at the Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road Intersection thus resulting in over -capacity and LOS F conditions at that location. This Impact could be reduced by adding temporary widening around the intersection to provide a northbound left -turn lane as well as a center refuge area north of Hamrick to allow vehicles turning left from Hamrick to make a two stage gap acceptance maneuver for the eft -turn. o Once the ultimate Table Rock Road widening improvement is constructed in 3017, all site accesses to Table Rock Road will operate a good levels of service (LOS C or better) and volume -to -capacity ratios (v/x0.21 or better) during the peak hour periods assuming they are full access movements. e From a safety perspective, a predictive safetyanalysis found that: a Providing full movement accesses to Tahle Rock Road in the near-term with its current two lane configuration shows the probability for 1.2 rnshes per year to occurcombined atthe two access points. o If these were restricted to right-in/right-out only driveways, the safety prediction lowers to a probablllty of 0.83 crashes per year (about a 30% decrease In probability). o Iftemporary widening was provided inthe interimfor atwo-way left -turn lane along the site's frontage, the probability would lower to 0.76 crashes per year (shout a 30% decrease in probability). o The safety predictive analysis also shows that once the ultimate Table Rock Road widening Improvements are In place the safety prediction lowers as well to 0.77 crashes per yeareven with maintaining full movement accesses at both locations. as xk .l &,l .W Inc [en4al VWnr CwKn 0.nlornxnt con.wno•:s rmume Future Year 1030 Analysis Ptv/rtalJMa c,.me..tau The future year (2030) background conditions analysis (without the project traffic) found that all study intersections will continue to operate at acceptable levels of service and volume -to -capacity ratios during the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours with the following exceptions: o Hamrick Road & East Pine Street operates with a v/c ratio of >1.0 during the weekday p.m. peak hour o Biddle Road & Airport Road (as under the build year conditions) has a critical movement which operates at LOS F during the weekday p.m. peak hour although the movement Is still operating under capacity with a v/c ratio of 0.55 • The future year (2030) total traffic analysis (with the project traffic) found that the site - generated trips did not Impact any study intersections not previously idemified in the 2030 background scenario. • All of the proposed site accesses operate at acceptable levels of service during the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours under the future year 2030 total traffic scenarlo. Because of the planned roadway improvements along Table Rock Road, there is a significant benefit to the traffic operations at the site accesses along Table Rock Road when compared to the bulld-year (2016) total traffic scenario. Parking Assessment • City of Central Point Municipal Cade directs that a parking supply of 670 parking spaces be provided for the Costco development (assuming retail land use). • The project Is proposing to provide a total of 782 parking spaces on site. • As part of this report, a parking demand analysis was completed to demonstrate and documents Justification for the proposed increase in parking supply. • Actual parking supply and demand data from other Costco sites In Oregon indicates that a minimum parking ratio of 4.71 spaces/1,000 sq -ft be provided in order to supply enough parking to meet Costco specific demands. • Applying the demonstrated minimum parking supply of 4.71 spaces/1,000 sq -ft to the proposed Central Point Costco development equates to a minimum recommended parking mppiyof 753 spaces. • This indicates that the proposed parking supply of 782 is slightly higher than this minimum amount but within a reasonable range and will provide an appropriate parking supply to accommodate typical peak periods as well as additional spaces for seasonal peaks as well.

Each comment Is summarized below followed by aur response. COMMENT 1— SUBMITTED BY CIN OF CENTRAL POINT "Page 30 of the study in the last paragraph, KAI assumes that planned roadways In the IAMP as well as Tier 1 Improvements listed in the City's TSP have been financially constrained and can be reasonably funded within the next twenty years. Many of the projects and/or improvements identified are not funded and there is no current mechanism for funding at this time. These include: • Widening East Pine Street to add a second WBL and widening the I-5 SB on-ramp for two receiving lanes ($1.7 million) • Widening the 1-5 NB off ramp at East Pine Street to include an additional NBR ($1.3 million) • Widening west and north approaches at Hamrick/Pine Street intersection • Widening to include a dual eastbound left at Table Rock/Biddle Road intersection" KAI RESPONSE As part of the scoping process, KAI received confirmation from each of the jurisdictions that the Tier 1 projects identified in the IAMP and RVMPO's RTP should be included in the TIA analyses. As communicated in an email from Wei Wang, ODOT, on Thursday, July 2, 2015, "Page B of TIA, Planned Transportation Improvements — This should reference the RVMPO PTP Tier 1 projects and also 9LENMME. H. IM01MIEli -CENTRAL PonYT CikTCt7 TTAWE{VR1 f1NAL R£SPoNSE rO COMMENT5119145 CEMlRAL P[dW LbSTCOT RESFYJ To I:DMarfNJS-i]NAL.00TX fentml 1oinK"sKo TIA 1mi11# 19046.0 Narrmbv 10, .15 Pulte2 consider improvements/mitigations identified in IAMP 33. It is possible that some of them could he triggered earlier or may by mitigation for this development. Please review the Interchange Area Management Plan 1-5 Exit 33 (IAMP 33). The proposed Costco TIA should be consistent with IAMP 33." Based on this email, we submitted a "Scoping Memo Response to Comment" memorandum to the City of Central Point, Jackson County and ODOT that stated, "We will include any planned transportation improvements referenced In RVMPD RTP Tier 1 and IAMP 33 that will be completed during or prior to the proposed build out of the site." Additionally, on Tuesday, September 29, 2015 KAI held a telephone conference with representing members from each agency to review and discuss the initial findings from the TIA. During this call, we verified with agency staff the funded Tier 1 projects from the RTP and IAMP to include in our analyses. Our TIA is consistent with all of our previous correspondences from staff. We are unclear as to the change in direction about those projects to include in the analyses and would appreciate additional insights from agency staff. COMMENT 2 — SUBMITTED BY CITY OF CENTRAL POINT "The TIS doesn't include a queuing analysis, which is a requirement in the scoping letter. A queuing analysis should be performed in SinnTraffic and follow the methodology outlined in ODOT's Analysis Procedures Manual (APM)." KAI RESPONSE 2 KAI analyzed queuing for all site access points, the 1.5 NO Ramps/E Pine Street and Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road intersections based on scoping direction from the City, County, and ODOT. Queuing was reviewed for the impact of the site -generated trips on 95th percentile queue lengths. Per the TIA, queues were calculated for the 2016 and 2030 scenarios during the weekday p.m. and weekend mid-day peak hours. For comparison purposes, the build -year (2016) total scenario also identifies queues lengths assuming an interim three lane configuration along Table Rock Road. The 2030 scenario provides the queuing assuming the planned and programed Improvements to Table Rock Rand are in place. The queuing analysis was completed using SlmTraffic within Synchro g software, which implements the 1000 Highway Capacity Monuaf methodology and Is in compliance with ODOT's APM. In order to provide a conservative analysis and reflect the worst-case conditions, queues were reported for a peak 15 -minute analysis. Vehicle queue lengths were rounded to the neat 25r' foot (assuming 25 -feet of storage per vehicle). 91d.11.n A An d.,el. Mr. aw'w, IdaaO central polnreo:tre na pikeet'. ISl Ideambe.lo, IS eased Build -Year /2016/ Total Trial Condition Queue lengths Table 1 presents the queue lengths for the build -year (2016) total traffic scenario. As documented in the TIA, the northbound right -turn at the 1-5 NI3 Ramps/E Pine Street intersection exceeds capacity with the inclusion of site -generated trips. With the inclusion of site -generated trips, the queue lengths Increase from approximately 125 feet under background conditions to 350 feet under total conditions. However, with she -generated trips the queue Is still maintained within the right -turn lane storage and does not spillback into deceleration area of the northbound off -ramp during the weekday p.m. peak hour. No queueing impacts were identified at the other intersections analyzed. In addition, a three -lane roadway along Table Rock Road does not change the estimated queue lengths northbound and southbound. However, it is important to note that the absence of a left -turn lane can cause delays to through travelers along Table Rock Road. Further, the absence of a left -turn lane also Increases queue lengths and delay for vehicles making left -turns out of the site. The Table Rock Road widening is completed in year 2017 and will provide benefits to the overall transportation system. Table 1. 95th Percentl le Queuing — 2016 Conditions 2.

COMMENT 3 —SUBMITTED BY CITY OF CENTRAL POINT "If multiple access points are being proposed on Table Rack Road and S Hamrick Road then City and County access spacing standards should he taken into consideration and shown to be in compliance or otherwise justified." KAI RESPONSE The Cll Transportation System Plan (TSP) Identifies Table Rack Road as a major arterial. Based an Table 5.2 In Central Point's TSP a minimum spacing standard of 500 feet applies given the 45 mph posted speed. The Table Rock Road/Northeast Driveway is approximately 420 feet south of the Table Rock Road/S Hamrick Road unsignalized Intersection. This driveway serves as the site's main driveway. The Table Rock Road/Southeast Driveway Is located at the very southern edge of the she boundary. The spacing between the two site driveways is 500 feet, meeting City access management standards. Although distance between the main driveway and the 5 Hamrick Road intersection does not meet the City's standards, there are no queue conflicts or operational issues associated with the spacing. le.lnda lem Lorca, Into Rot¢, Mono Ston W 2.1-5 NB Ramps/E Rd.

Although distance between the main driveway and the 5 Hamrick Road intersection does not meet the City's standards, there are no queue conflicts or operational issues associated with the spacing. le.lnda lem Lorca, Into Rot¢, Mono Cent IPoInI Coe rra TA Ymje[Y a:'sa*so NovemEer I0� 1015 Pogi Further, we have worked with the project team to maximize the spacing of access points and to optimize internal circulation for both the warehouse and fuel station. We can work with the City to seek a design exception to the 500 feet standard between the main driveway and S Hamrick Road intersection with Table Rack Road. Per Table 5.2 of the TSP, the applicable access spacing standard along S Hamrick Road Is 300 feet. The East Hamrick Road Orkneway/5 Hamrick Road site access meets the spacing requirement between the driveway and the unslgnalized Intersection of Table Rack Road/S Hamrick Road intersection. The distance between the west and eastdriveways along 5 Hamrick Road is roughly 520feet, also meeting the City's access spacing standards. The West Hamrick Road Driveway/S Hamrick Road site access is located approximately 200 feet west of the Hamrick Road/Federal Way unsignalized intersection, not meeting the City's spacing guidelines. While the spacing does not meet City guidelines, our analyses demonstrated that no operational or queuing conflicts are anticipated between this driveway and the S Hamrick Road/Federal Way unsignalized Intersection. We will also work with City staff to seek a design exception for the spacing between the west driveway and the S Hamrick Road/Federal Way intersection. COMMENT 4 — SUBMITTED BY CITY OF CENTRAL POINT 'The proportional share for impacts to facilities such as the 1-5 NB off ramp can be determined by a volume comparison. The 2016 no -build right turn volume is 310 PM trips. Proposed development in 2016 adds 90 PM trips. Adding 90 trips is approximately a 23% impact. The same methodology can be used for other facilities." KAI RESPONSE Thank you for clarifying the applicable methodology for proportionate share impacts. We will work with Costco and the agencies in determining the proportional share for projects which Costco will he responsible based an feedbackfrom the agencies. xlrteNan a mmeom, Inn. �Irt.

Page 3 Public Works Department CENTRAL-- -_ matt Samitore, Director POINT REVISED PUBLIC WORKS STAFF REPORT January 5, 2016 AGENDA ITEM(S); Costco Membership Warehouse and Four (4) Island Fuel Facility Applicant: Costco Wholesale; Agent: Steve Bullock, MG2 BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (File No. 15022) and Site Plan & Architectural Review (File No. 15028) approval for the construction of a Costco Wholesale membership warehouse, including a four (4) island fuel facility, with a scheduled opening date Fall 2016. The 18.28 acre project site is located on form (4) undeveloped lots within the Federal Way Business Park Subdivision. As a previously platted subdivision all utilities, with the exception of transportation infrastructure, aro available and adequate to service the project. The applicant has prepared a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) t identifying and addressing transportation impacts and mitigation measures. 'the I IN was prepared in accordance with input from the Citv of Central Point, City of Medford, Jackson County and the Oregon Department of Transportation. The TIA took into account the County's Table Rock widening project (lour travel lanes, a center tum lana bike lanes and sidewalks, and signalization of Table Rock Road and Airport Road) scheduled to begin construction one year (2017) after the opening of the Costco project. EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE: Water: 'there are 8 -inch waterlines that exist in Hamrick Road and Federal Way. Streets: Hawick Road is a City Collector Street. The right-of-way in front of the subject property varies from 72-76 feet, which is adequate to some the proposed project. Stormwater. There is a 36 -inch storm line in Hamrick Road. TRAFFIC IMPACTS & MITIGATION: The TIA evaluated twelve (12) intersections deemed to be affected by the project. Fora of the intersections have issues at the opening of Costco (Build Yew Fall 2016). Those intersections are: 1. Table Rock Rod & Airport Road (Jackson County). Currently, this intersection operates at an unacceptable Level of Service (LOS F). This status persists at Build Year and will be resolved upon completion of the Table Rock Road Improvement project in 2017. Because of the timing between Build Year and completion of the Table Rock Road project no mitigation has been proposed or required by the County. 2. Table Rock Road d & Hamrick Road (Jackson County/City of Central Point). The applicant has requested full access movements on the two access driveways on Table Rock Road. Per the County, ''Iransportafion Impact Analysis Central Point Costco Oevelopmen4 Kitrelson & Associates, Ino, October 2015 140 South Y" Street Centrat Point, OR 97502 •541.664.3321 Fax 541.664.6384 3. access on Table Rock Road will be limited as follows: a. Prior to completion of the Table Rock Road project, both access drives will be limited to right-in/right-out movements. Median islands will need to be installed by the applicant to restrict access movements. b. Prior to the completion of the Table Rock Road project, for the Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road intersection the applicant will be required to construct a center tum lane and refuge Pane within the existing Table Rock Road right-of-way. a Upon completion of the Table Rock Road Improvement project, access movements will be limited to right-in/right-nut, and leftinmovements (no signalization) for the two access driveways on Table Rock Road. 4. Northbound 1-5 Off -Ramo (ODOT). On the opening date for Costco, the NB I-5 off -ramp will exceed the allowable volume to capacity (v/c) ratio, triggering the need for dual right tum lanes (LAMP 33 Project No. 9). The estimated project cost is $1 3M- The project cost sharing shall be as follows: ODO'f: $800,000 Costco: $377,000 (Not to exceed) City: $123,000 (Not to exceed) Per ODOT, construction will commence at the earliest possible date. The applicant's proportional share will be payable to the City of Central Point prior to issuance of a building pemut and is not SDC eligible. 5. Airport Road & Biddle Road (City of Medford). The TIA indicates that the westbound approach of Airport and Biddle Road exceeds the level of service standard for the City of Medford. Mitigation measures were not addressed in the TIA. Based on comments from the City of Medford, the Rogue Valley international Airport is opposed to a median at the intersection of Biddle Rd and Airport Road. The City of Medford recommends a condition that requires the developer to pay a proportional share toward a future traffic signal at this intersection. The estimated project cost for a traffic signal at this location is $450,000 including design, construction, and inspection. The development's contribution is 10% based on additional traffic at this intersection per the Traffic Impact Analysis, dated October 2015, prepared by Kittelson and Associates, Inc. This results in a $45,000 contribution from the developer to this future project 6. Table Rock Road & Momineside Sheet (City of Medford). At the intersection of Table Rock Road and Momingside Street the City of Medford recommends a condition that requires the developer to pay a proportional share towards a future left tum lane at [his intersection. Per the City of Medford letter dated December 24, 2015, this development will increase PM peak hour trips through the intersection by 20%. The City of Medford estimates the total cost for a left turn lane at this location to be S300,000 including design, construction and inspection. A 20% contribution would result in a $60,000 contribution from the developer to this future project. 140 South 3'° Street Central Point, OR 97502 •541.664.3321 Fax 541.664.6384 It should he noted that the TLA indicates that by 2020 additional lane configurations will be needed for the intersection of East Pine Strect/Hamrick Road. The City of Central Point is tentatively scheduled to complete these improvements by 2018, including improvements to the North-South Traffic to include a receiving lane, a thin lane, and designated right and left tum lanes on Hamrick Road North and South of the intersection. No additional improvements will be made on E. Pine Street/Diddle Road as part of this improvement project. CONDITIONS OF 1. Oregon Department of Transportation. Prior to issuance of a building permit Costco shall enter into a Cooperative Improvement Agreement with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) , of a similar agreement acceptable to the City and ODOT ("Agreement"), to fund development and construction of a dual right tum lane at the 1-5 Exit 33 northbound off -ramp.

Planning File: 15022 and 15028; 37 -2W -12B Tax Lots 213, 214, 215, and 216. Dear Stephanie: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan $ Architectural Review for construction of a 161,992 square foot membership warehouse and four island fuel facility, including 783 parking spaces and site landscaping on a 18.28 acre site in the Industrial M-1 —zoning district. The project site is adjacent to Hamrick Road and Table Rock Road. Jackson County Roads has the following comments: 1. Prior to opening, Jackson County requests construction of a let turn and left receiving lane on Table Rock Road at Hamrick Road. The turn and receiving lanes shall have adequate queuing to ensure safe and efficient operation of the intersection during the "t year of opening. This work will require a Minor Road Improvement Permit from Jackson County, 2. Prior to opening, Jackson County requests construction of median islands in Table Rock Road in front of the two Table Rock Road approaches. Until the County's Table Rode Road Improvement project is complete, the Table Rock Road approaches will be limited to right-in/right-out. This work may be included in either the Minor Road Improvement Permit or the Commercial Approach Permit. 3. As part of the County's Table Rock Road Improvement Project, the Table Rock Road approaches will be constructed as right-in/left-inlright-out movements. The County's project will install these medians at the project's expense. 4. The County's Table Rock Road Improvement Project will install a new traffic signal at Airport Road at the projects expense. I:\Englrl &QkOavfapmanl\eITI ESICPRTLMIM02261508.daC December 10, 2015 Page 2 of 3 5. The East Pine/Hamrick Intersection will likely fail approximately one year after opening. Central Point should construct improvements to this intersection prior to failure. 6. Construction of the fourth leg of the Table Rock/Airport Road Intersection, with Airport Road Connecting to Federal Way, will significantly Improve traffic circulation in the project area. Jackson County would support any efforts which facilitate this Improvement. 7. Once the fourth leg of the Airport intersection is complete and connected to Federal Way, the Federal Way access paint will become a significant access for the project. The current site plan utilizes Table Rock and Hamrick Roads as the front of the project and for primary public access. Federal Way Is primarily utilized for delivery access and as a minor public access. The site plan should perhaps be modified to make Hamrick Road and Federal Way the front of the project to recognize the long term circulation. Regardless of the final "front" of the project, the public access to Federal Way should receive a major upgrade to encourage public use of this access and Improve long term circulation. 5. Jackson County estimates the value of the frontage improvements on Table Rock Road that will not be constructed by the applicant at $480,000. 9. The applicant shall submit construction drawings to Jackson County Roads and obtain county permits If required. 10.The applicant shall obtain Commercial Approach permits from Roads for any new or improved approaches to Hamrick Road and Table Rock Road. The paved approaches shall have 30' radii and a 40' width. Roads requests the removal of any existing driveways not being used on Hamrick Road and Table Rock Road. 11.The posted speed zone for Table Rock Road is 45 mph, requiring an approach sight distance minimum of 325'. 12.Homrick Road is a Basic Speed Rule road. The required approach sight distance Is 450'. 13. Utility Permits are required from Roads for any utility work within the county road right- of-way. 14. Please note Hamrick Road is a local road but the soon to be revised County TSP will designate it as a Minor Collector and is county -maintained with an Average Dally Traffic count of 799 as of 8/2014, 150' west of Table Rock Road. December 10, 2015 Page 3 of 3 15. Please note Table Rock Road is an Arterial Road with an Average Daily Traffic count of approximately 13,000 In the project area. 18.11' drainage is directed to Hamrick Road and/or Table Rock Road, Jackson County Roads would like to review and comment on the hydraulic report including the calculations and drainage plan. Capacity improvements or on wits detention, If necessary, shall be installed at the expense of the applicant. Upon completion of the project, the developer's engineer shall certify that construction of the drainage system was constructed per plan and a copy of the certification shall be sent to Jackson County Roads. 17. We would like to be notified of future development proposals, as county permits may be required. 18. We concur with any right-of-way dedicated. �Siinccerely, ) 7Z/- Mike Kuntz. P.E.

Third St. Central Point, OR. 97502 Dear Ms. Holley: We have reviewed the Central Point Staff Report, dated January 5, 2016, for the proposed Costco Conditional Use Permit and have the following comments: 1. We understand the Rogue Valley International Airport is opposed to a median at the intersection of Biddle Rd and Airport Rd, as described in Condition No. 3. We recommend a condition that requires the developer to pay a proportional share towards a future traffic signal at this intersection. The City of Medford estimates the total cost for a traffic signal at this location to be $450,000 including design, construction, and inspection. We estimate the development's contribution at 10% from the additional traffic at this intersection shown in the Traffic Impact Analysis, dated October 2015, prepared by Kittelson and Associates, Inc. This results in a $45,000 contribution from the developer to this future project. 2. At the Intersection of Table Rock Rd. and Morningside St. we recommend a condition that requires the developer to pay a proportional share towards a future left tum lane at this intersection. See attached accident history showing an existing pattern of northbound rear -end collisions at this intersection. Per our December 24, 2015 letter, this development will Increase PM peak hour trips through the intersection by 20%. The City of Medford estimates the total cost for a lett turn lane at this location to be $500,000 including design, construction, and inspection. A 20% contribution would result In a $60,000 contribution from the developer to this future project. The City of Medford is open to discussing alternate mitigation designs, costs, and/or methodologies to calculate the developer's share of the cost of mitigating these traffic impacts to those as described above. These values are the best estimate we can make at this time with the information available. If you have questions, please contact me at (541)774-2115.

Third St. Central Point, OR. 97502 Dear Ms. Holtey: We have reviewed the Traffic Impact Analysis, dated October 2015, for the proposed Costco Conditional Use Permit and have the following comments: 1. Mitigation is required at the intersection of Biddle Rd and Airport Rd due to project traffic degrading the level of service on the westbound approach below acceptable standards. The increase in traffic volume will increase competition for gaps in traffic for permissive movements resulting in the acceptance of smaller gaps and increase collision potential at the intersection. 2. The intersection of Table Rock Rd. and Morningside St. needs to be studied to mitigate safety effects of project trips on a decrease in safety at the intersection. The proposed increase in traffic will increase rear end pressure on northbound left turning motorists and decrease available gaps in southbound traffic. This will induce them to choose smaller gaps and increase collision potential at the intersection. The 90 P.M. peak hour project trips each way north and southbound represent a 20% increase over the 450 peak hour through trips each way counted on Table Rock in 2015. The development should contribute to a project to construct a northbound left turn lane at Morningside St and Table Rock Rd. If you have questions, please contact me at (541) 774-2121.

The 161,992 square foot membership warehouse will he located on the southwest property boundary and the fuel facility on the southeast property boundary. It is the applicant's intent to relocate its existing facility to the proposed site with a scheduled opening date Fall 2016. The project site is located on the eastern edge of the Central Point city limits at the southeast corner of Hamrick and Table Rock Road (Figure 1). The site also has frontage on Federal Way, a local street Surrounding properties include developed and undeveloped industrial lands, including the M-1 and M-2 zoning districts. In accordance with Table 17.05.01, the Costco Conditional Use Permit application has been processed using Type III procedures as set forth in Section 17.05.400 of the Central Point Municipal Code. Including this introduction, these findings will be presented in three (3) parts as follows: 1. Introduction 2. Section 17.76.040, Conditional Use Findings & Conclusions 3. Summary Conclusion Figure t Location Map __ _nne..ncwwumra. PART 2-CONDITIONAL USE FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS 17.48.040 Conditional Uses. The following uses and their accessory uses may be permitted in an M-1 district when authorized in accordance with Chapter 17_76. A. Business offices and commercial uses that aro compatible with and closely related in their nature of business to permitted uses in the M-1 district, or that would be established to serve primarily the uses, employees, or customers of the M-1 district; B. Rail and trucking distribution facilities. Finding 17.48.040(A): The City, by Planning Commission Resolution 764 and City Council Resoh6ion 12171, determined that membership warehouses are a commercial use compatible with and closely related to permitted uses in the M-1 zone. Conclusion 17.48.040(A): Costco Wholesale, a membership warehouse that includes wholesale automobile fuel sales, is specifically allowed as a Conditional Use- Finding I7.48.040(B): There are no rail or dru h'ng distribution facilities associated with the proposed 16e. Conclusion 17.48.040(B): Not applicable 17.76.040 Findings and Conditions The planning commission in granting a conditional use permit shall find as follows: A, That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use are to meet all otter development and lot requirements of the subject zoning district and all other provisions of this code. Finding 17.76.040(A): As evidenced to the applicant's site plan, the 18.28 acre project site is adequately sized to accommodate the proposed structures and off sheet parking asfollows: lj Setback Reinerements (CPMC 17.48060). The proposed structures meet the setback requirements of the M-1 zoning district as set forth in Cable 1 below: Front (North) 20-ft 275ft950-ff Side(W-f) 10-ft 60.0, 340 51-ft Side (East) 10-ft 395-ft 35-ft Rear (South) 10-ft 60-ft, 10-in. 160 -ft 1-in. - File No. 09022- M-1 Code Amendment Page 2 of 11 2) Off -Street Parking Requirements (CPAIC 17.64.0401. The applicant's parking plan proposes 783 parking spaces, which is 85 spaces in excess of the maximum 698 spaces allowed (Table 2). In accordance with Section 17.64.040(13)(2), the applicant is requesting an increase to the maximum parking standard for the proposed use. Table 3 summarizes the data provided in the applicant's parking demand analysis, which is based upon the following: • Documented parking supply and demand at existing Costco Wholesale warehouses in Oregon; and, • The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation, 4'h Edition recommendation to maintain a maximum parking utilization of 90% during the typical peak periods to avoid illegal parking and repeating circulation.' The applicant's parking praposal for the Central Point location is slightly higher than the average minimum recommended parking ratio (Table 3) at 4.83 parking spaces per 1,000 s.f. GFA. Since the difference between the minimum recommendation and the proposed adjustment is within the range of acceptable statistical error (less than 5%) and is consistent with the ITE ° ITE Parking Generation, 4" Edition, 2010.

Page 3 of 11 recommendation to stay below 90% utilization for typical and seasonal peaks, the request to increase the parking standard is warranted and can be accommodated as demonstrated by the applicant's site plan. 3) Loading Requirements (Section 17 64 040). Loading required for retail buildings greater than 100, 000 sf GFA includes 3 bays plus d bay for each additional 80,000 sit. On this basis the proposed 161,992 sf, warehouse requires four (4) loading bays, which are provided on applicant site plan and arcbltectural elevations (north and west elevations). Additionally, the plans show three (3) loading areas for smaller auckhan deliveries. Conclusion 17.76.040(9) The site is sufficient in size and shape to accommodate the use and meet the development and lot requirements of M zone. B. That the site has adequate access to a public street or highway and that the street or highway is adequate in size and condition to effectively accommodate the traffic that is expected to be generated by the proposed use. Finding 17.76.040(8): The proposed Costco membership warehouse and fuel facility will generate appreciatively 10,670 new daily trips, la accordance with Section 17.05,900(A)(2)(e), the applicant prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the proposed Costco membership warehouse andfuelfncilily. The scope ofworkfor the TIA was based onscopingseanions held on June 2, 2015 and August 13, 2015 with affected transportation agencies (i_e_ Oregon Department of Transportation, Jackson County, City ofMedforce, and City (or Central Point). It was agreed that the TIA would evaluate twelve (12) intersection and all propandsit. access driveways. Per the TIA Costoo membership data was utilized in conjunction with area -wide papulation, land use, employment and transportation information to determine how the transportation system will operate under build year (2016) and future year (2030) conditions with and without the proposed Costco development in place. The TIA accountedJor Jackson County's Table Rock Road widening project, which is scheduled to begin construction one year (2017) after opening of the proposed Costco project. Upon completion of the project, Table Rock Road will acting, four travel lanes, continuous center turn lane, bicycle lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the roadway frorn Biddle Road to Airport Road. The roadway will then narrow to two (2) travel lanes with a continuous center tura lane, bicycle lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the roadwayfrom Airport Road to the 1-5 crossing. Signaliaation of the Table RocklAirport Road intersection will be completed as part of this project. Asa result of the planned improvements, traffic impacts on Table Rock Road (i, e. Intersections of Table Rock and Ilamrick Road and Table Rock and Airport Road) will be resolved. Based on the TIA and comments received from affected agencies, there are traffic impacts to the following six (6) roadways: ' City of Medford did not provide any Input Into the TIA's scope of work.

The TIA demonstrates that the idendded interim impacts to the right- in/right-out access restrictions an the FlamriddTable RockRoad intersection (non -signalized) are resolveduponcompletionofthe Table Rode Wiideningleraect. To limit access and resolve the identified interim impact to Hamrick/Table Rack Road, the County is requiring the following conditions. a Until the County's Table Rock Road project is complete, the private Table Rock Road approaches will be limited to right Wright out only. To assure this movement the applicant shall construct median islands in Table Rock Road in front of the avo Table Rock Road private approaches. b. Prior to certificate afaccupancy, the applicant shall construct a left turn and left receiving lane on Table Rock Road at Hamrick Road. the hirn and receiving Lanes shall have adequate queuing to ensure a fe and efficient operation of the intersection during the first year of opening. c. As part of the County's fable Rock Improvement Project, the Table Rock Road approaches will be censerected as right-infleft-in/right-out movements. The County's project will install these medians at the project's expense. Page 5 of 11 3. Table Reel cand Airport Road Interseelien.

Finding17.76.040(C): Thefodlowing characteristics were evaluated in consideration of the proposal's impacts to abutting properties: 1. Pro00S¢d Location of Side Lmpr sssn ents. ros illustrated in the Site Plan, the location of the proposed warehouse, fuel facility, parking and landscape improvements are consistent with the site design and development requirements of the M-1 zoning district (See Finding 17.76-040(A)). Page 6 of ll 1. (vehicular Ingress Egress and Internal Circulation. The project site proposes two access drives on each of the frontage rands (i.e. Federal Way, Hamrick Road and Table Rock Road). Per tle ITA, access restrictions to private approaches on 'i'ahte Rock Road, prior to completion of the Table Rock Road widening project, cause operational and safety issues at Hamrick Road. As demonstrated in Finding 17.76640(R), access restrictions and mitigation measures resolve traffic impacts associated with ingress and egress as conditioned per the Revised Staff Report dated January 5, 2016. 3, Setbacks. The applicant's site plan identifies the location ofstructures and off street parking areas consistent with the setback requirements in the M-1 zoning district (See Finding 17.76040(.4). 4_ Building Ileig it. Per the Architectural Elevations submitted by the applicant, the warehouse wit[ have a varied roadme with a maximum height of 34 ft at the top ofthe highest parapet.

The project site is within the Federal Way Business Park subdivision in the Industrial (M-1) zoning district, and is identified on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37S 2W 12B,'1ax Lots 213, 214, 215, and 216. Applicant: Costco Wholesale; Agent Steve Bullock, MG2 STAFFSOURCE Stephanie Holtey, Community Planner It BACKGROUND Costco Wholesale ("Applicant") is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to develop a 161,992 square font membership warehouse on 18.28 acres in the M-1, Industrial zone. The Conditional Use Permit application was considered at the January 5, 2016 Planning Commission meeting. At that time staff presented an evaluation of the proposal relative to its compliance with the conditional use approval criteria set forth in CPMC 17.76.040. Based on the evidence submitted, the proposal was found to comply with the applicable review criteria as conditioned. The Planning Commission heard testimony from the applicant, and proponents and opponents of the application. Due to the timing of revised comments and conditions from the City of Medford on.lanuary 5, 2016, the applicant requested that the record remain open for seven (7) days following closure of the public hearing; including a seven (7) day rebuttal period. The public hearing was closed and, per a duly seconded motion, the request to leave the record open was granted with written comments to be submitted as follows: • Open record period — January 12, 2016 at 4:30 p.m.; • Applicant's rebuttal period—January 19, 2016 at 4:30 p.m. On January 19, 2016 the applicant submitted their written rebuttal (Exhibit `94") to the City of Medford's January 5, 2016 revised conditions and comments. Staff has reviewed the applicant's rebuttal and finds that the previously written conditions 3 and 4 in the Revised Staff Report dated January 5, 2016 adequately address the situation and do not need to be modified. ISSUES During the open record period, thirteen Q3) letters were received with six (6) in favor, five (5) in opposition, and two (2) neutral. The applicant responded to opposing testimony with timely rebuttal. It should be noted that some of the issues were anecdotal and beyond the scope of the conditional use approval criteria in CPMC 17.76.040 (i.e. Costco's business policies, impacts to local businesses and associated internship and scholarship opportunities). A summary of the written comments received during the open record are: 1. Opposition. Testimony received in opposition to the proposed use primarily focused on traffic issues and includes three broad categories: 1) concerns about the TIA assumptions; 2) operations/safety; and 3) mitigation sufficiency/cost allocation. Due to the volume of the traffic generated by Costco, there is a perception that additional mitigation actions are necessary to ease operational and safety concerns. Emphasis was given to Table Rack Road widening, impacts of heavy truck traffic, and the need for the applicant to bear the cost of improvements (See Exhibits ` I" through "5"). The Applicant's Rebuttal (Exhibit "14") and the TIA (Exhibit "15") address the testimony opposing the proposed use on the fallowing basis: a. 'I he'I ]A was prepared and reviewed by affected agencies and Southern Oregon 'I ransportatiun Engineers, LLC. The analysis relied on assumptions including Costco's market demographics, area -wide papulation, employment, land use. and transportation system information including heavy trucks/ vehicles (See lFIA. Exhibit "15"); b. Per the conditions of approval, mitigation measure address safety and operational impacts necessaryto provide adequate transportation services. a Costco's cost share for the improvements are proportional to the impact generated by the proposed use and therefore sufficient to mitigate the financial cost of off-site impacts. 2. Support. Testimony in support of the proposed use counters concerns about adverse impacts to local business and further asserted support for the proposed location due to community benefits associated with economic growth stimulus and improved property values. It is further emphasized that traffic impacts have been adequately addressed and that the concerns about heavy truck traffic conflicts and congestion on Biddle/Pine Street have been adequately addressed and mitigated (See Exhibits "6" through "11"). Based on evidence in the record and the applicant's rebuttal, the testimony received during the open record period has been adequately addressed (Sec Exhibits -14 and"15" ).

Wastewater Technologies Response to the Conditional Use -Permit Application of Costco to the City of Central Point, Oregon City of Central Point Oregon Planning Department and Planning Commission t55 South 2' Street Central Point, Oregon 97502 Via Band Delivery Having listened to the applicant's presentation and their consultants, it became clear that no matter the difficulty with the site and its related traffic applicants would force a fit. Certainly the most significant problem relates to the trasffic it generates and the assumptions made by the applicant's traffic consultants. The traffic consultants were hired to make it work in whatever way can produce an approval. The consultants (Kittleson and Associates) are essentially a hired gun that represents the applicant and land owners, putting together a plan that they believe will convince the City to approve the plan. It is obvious that the City and Planning Commission look favorably on the locating of Costco in Central Point. Costco is an amazing retailer/wholesaler that is loved by its customers and admired by its competitors. The problem is that this site and this business are not an appropriate fit. Costco is a "warehouse" sales/membership store. This is line but Costco generates more traffic to its "warehouse" of 130,000 square foot store in Medford than the nearly 700,000 square foot Rogue Valley Mall. Costco parking is almost always near full and traffic is very difficult and congested, hence the reason for their desire to build a new store. A leaking roof is not the reason for their move. The reason is that they are losing potential business due to older persons and busy people not being willing to fight the traffic and congestion. They we smart retailers and they need a larger store to service the market and loyal customers that they have. ae AN 19201 Page two of three Kitdeson Consultants have made many assumptions that can and should be examined, at the very least, by a neutral consultant. Clearly without questioning deeply their assumptions the T, I.A. reveals many problems that require expensive and time consuming mitigation. The cost numbers are very liberal and favor the applicant. They desperately need to be reviewed in detail by another neutral consultant. The use of Table Rock Road is necessary and that arterial is scheduled for major improvements but the acquisition of land for widening and funding of the cost has not even started. Land must be acquired, engineering completed, bids advertised for and then, depending on weather, construction begun. Based on other projects the construction could easily take a year and the other issues could take that much time or even more. The widening of Table Rock Road will only be done tojust south of its intersection with Airport Road, The road to be effective needs to be widened all the way to its intersection with Merriman Road. The bridge crossing the 1-5 is old and very narrow. The increased traffic and stress on this "elderly" bridge will require that it be replaced with a stronger and wider (at least four lanes) bridge. The cost of this bridge is far more substantial than any of the other proposed mitigation measures and likely more than all of them combined. Table Rock Road continues south into a fairly dense housing area with homes fronting directly onto the road and serves two large multifamily projects exiting only onto Table Rock Road. The proposed location of Costco will create a very dangerous mix of large heavy trucks (including triples) from adjacent and nearby businesses (Knife River Concrete and Aggregates, FedEx Ground and others)_ Table Rock Road to the north of East Pine Street and Biddle Roads serves many trucking companies and they will mix with the Costco traffic. This will create a very high likelihood of accidents and driver stress for all of East Pine Street, Hamrick Road and Table Rock Road. There is no plan, apparent or in consideration, that will eliminate or diminish this condition. If you consider the age make-up of Costco customers it becomes apparent that large portions are seniors. The mix of senior drivers with congestion and heavy trucks is not appropriate or desirable and could have disastruus results. The land around the proposed Costco has not been developed to its potential, particularly to the North and West. When that land develops the intersections will be even more stressed. The mitigation measures proposed create difficult driving and congestion all through Central Point's downtown area as well. Page three of three Traffic to Costco from western Medford, western Central Point, Jacksonville and the Applegate Valley as well as Grants Pass, Rogue River and Gold Hill will pass through Central Point. The Jacksonville and Applegate Valley traffic will come all the way through the downtown area of Central Point. If that traffic, through Central Point, becomes a problem and it is somewhat congested even now, then the traffic will reroute to the Table Rock Road option as the route of choice. The problems with that option have been previously addressed. The expenses, of thi s first set of mitigations, are likely to be much more than what has been projected by the applicant's consultant and others. There are no actual hard numbers for the projected work based on design drawings and completed land acquisition. The time frames for completing these improvements are very liberal and delays will add extra costs. In summary, this proposed conditional use -permit application, though it can legally accommodate this facility, it is a very poor and troublesome location that will affect Central Point, Medford and Jackson County in a negative way both due to traffic and expense. My clients would urge you to not approve this application or require, at the very least, another independent traffic study. Sincerely, L.Calvin Martin, Agent C.c. Garvey, Shubert, Barer Attorneys. Portland, Oregon EXHIBIT "2" January 12, 201fi Summary ofJanuary 6,2016 comments on application of .Costco Wholesalerl David Smith 241 Saginaw Drive, Medford, OR 97504 1. Co-owner of business on S. Front Street in Central Point and several apartments. 2. Lang time member of Costco and shop at present store at least twice a week. 3. Research of official records of COOT and Central Point reveal that the proposed site for Costco is located on an official freight route system within the city and in the midst of freight term Ina ls.(Reddaway, Conway, Fed Ex.) One, Reddaway Trucking already account for 600 truck trips per day. According to ODOT materials Gordon Trucking owns a large parcel directly across from the proposed entrance to Costco, and intends to build a freight terminal, adding a significant increase in trucks using the area. 4 Costco's traffic study indicates its store will add 10,670 new trips per day, the majority of which will come from Medford on Biddle and Table Rock. 5. Costco traffic will add several thousand more cars per day using Biddle and adding congestion atthe entrance to the airport. 6 ... ODOT's Freight Profile Identifies Table Rock Road as one of the local mads that "experience high volumes of freight traffic." 7. Costco's traffic study is flawed in that it does not identity the routes its members use to access the existing Medford store; information which is necessary to accurately predict how those members will re- route to the proposed location. 0. Costco tries to identify its operation as a warehouse, but indicates in Its November 3, 20125 memo to the city staff( at page 14) that its Parking Demand Study requires 783 parking stalls which is more than the city requires for a retail store the size of the proposed Costco. CONCLUSION: While the"member Warehouse" description of the Costco proposal may distinguish it from other retail stores as far as the variety of merchandise and profit margins, its impact on traffic will be greater than other retails stores of the same size, One need only note how fast the Casten parking lot fills up and remains full during store hours; much more so than other retail stores which are open longer hours which results in less traffic in any given hour. Even the entire Medford Mall appears to have less parked cars. Costco and the city staff both indicate the intention to have the store open in 2016, before the widening project on Table Rack even begins. It makes no sense to add 10,670 more vehicles traveling through a construction zone, for an undetermined period, which will create an additional problem which has not been addressed. EXHIBIT"Y January 12, 2016 City of Central Point Arm Commissioners and Plann; ng Department 140 S. Front Street Central Point, OR 97502 To Whom This May Concern I am writing this letter to share in,/ strong desire to keep Central Point a small, family friendly town. I understand that bringing a large business, such as Castro would at first appear to increase revenue flow In the town of Central Point; however, I think upon Further examination, It would be detrimental to the efforts the: Mayor, Hank Williams, has recently put into our town's downtown and local business appeal. My teoughts go immediately to the small businesses that make up the backbone of this community — businesses that would inevitably be losing some of their customer base. In turn, some local businesses— ones that faithfully give back to our schools and Community, would Possibly be faced with the layoff of staff, or In extreme cases, closure of facilities. This could change the dynamics In Central Point — affecting revenue, Crater Foundation Scholarships, local internships for h'gh school students, and housing. People pay a prime price to live in Central Point, yet one has to wonder, if the traffic appeal is similar to mat of Medford, if prices will eventually drop. I am confident that when reviewing this proposal, you will realize the detriment effect of this decision. My hope is that Central Point will continue to be a little oasis in the valley, with local bus'nesses that are booming, strong schools educating our chi dren, safe parks to play in, and a strong housing demand. Thank you for your time.

I live at 2524 Beebe Rd. in Central Point and I am very concerned of the traffic around my home. It's already bad to try to get out of my Central Point East subdivision. This seems to be a pretty big building they are planning and with the Pilot close by with all the trucks already from that this will be a complete nightmare. I assume that the roads around it will be widened somehow and traffic lights will be added. Who will be paying for this? I hope not us property tax players as its already 53800 a year which is higher than any city near Central Point, I am also concerned that my house value will go down in price with no one wanting to live next to this nightmare of traffic, This will make it a low desirable area to live in we believe. Thanks for your time Kathy and Ray Wilkerson 541 664 0533 Central Point East rIEUV E D 1 7 2016 EXHIBIT "5" 1/11116 To whom it may concern This letter is in regards to the consideration of allowing Costco to build at the comer of Hamrick and Table Rock roads. My only request is that you read this letter and consider the negative impact that this would cause to the current families of Villas and Table Rock roads. Three years ago my family moved to a home located on Table Rock Rd. near Ore Rd. At the time the traffic was heavy but bearable. Since then, a sizeable increase in traffic has made us regret our decision. This increase, in my opinion, was caused from the increase in business activity and growth on the Crater Lake Hwy such as the new Lithie Auto Mall. People, trying to avoid the traffic congestion on Crater Lake Hwy have begun to use alternate routes to get to the Freeway, Rogue Valley Mall, Central Point, and others via Table Rock Rd. as well as Villas Rd. Several years ago, the Jackson County Roads Dept. did a traffic count study to determine the amount of traffic using Table Rock Rd. I don't have, nor remember, the exact numbers but it was somewhere in the realm of 13,000 cars a day, on average, were passing by the intersection of Wilson and Table Rock Rd. Based on several factors, one can assume that the number has significantly increased. Getting out of my driveway and on to Table Rock Rd. has become a nightmare. Crossing to get the mail, which lies on the opposite side of Table Rack Rd. is no longer a safe option. I've approached USPS, with the numbers and hazards, asking about having the mail boxes moved and was told to that it would not be a financially feasible decision. Thus not taking the safety of the residents in to account. Two people have died, within several hundred yards of my home, within the last 3 years while walking or crossing Table Rock Rd. and countless accidents have happened, making it, in my opinion, one of the most dangerous roads in the county. If you allow the placement of Costco, at the proposed site, Table Rock Rd. and Villas Rd. will become, more than ever, a safety and logistics nightmare for the people who live there. Not to mention the possible devaluing of our property. People traveling from North of the current location will be forced to use Table Rock Rd. and Villas Rd to get to the new location. These two roads will be, undoubtedly, overwhelmed with traffic. Please give careful consideration to this when making your decision on the placement of the new Costco. Please don't be another USPS and discount the safety of the residents. Sincerely, Dennis Burt 5969 Table Rock Rd.

Although I live in Medford, my daily place of employment is very near this location. I believe this proposed location has been well-chosen and would benefit the community of Central Point. It is just far enough away from the main part of town as to not affect traffic in the busiest areas, while at the same time, bringing people into the community who might not otherwise conduct their business in the area. I do not foresee any negative impact on traffic in the immediate area, when handled with proper planning for traffic control lights on the intersections around the facility.

I am following up my nervous statements with the following I have been a member of Costco, Execct've Member, since 1993. 1 am a loyal and avid fan of the quality/price of items they offer to members. I have lived in the Rogue Valley since 1996-1 have been at my present location in Central Point since 2001. 1 do not plan on moving anytime in the foreseeable future. I love Central Paint. I have been atjust about all the Costco locations up and down 1-5 from Fresno, California all the way to Abbottsford, British Columbia, Canada.... including the original locaton in Kirkland, Washington. All Costco locations generate a buzz and demand — As a traveler, you search Costco out for the best gas prices! I can truthfully say the only Costco that is a bear to get in and out of is the one in Eugene on Cohourg road — did it stop me from visiting it — NO! I am aware that shop at Costco means you need to have patience. And with the Ecgene location — it is very similar to the proposed area —you go a half mile north and it's country roads......... I am in favor of relocating the Medford Costco warehouse and fuel facility to the proposed location on Hamirck and Table Rock Roads in Central Point. I will look forward to being able to avoid the tangle and mess of highway 62 and Delta Waters Roads in Medford. As stated, the new locations will be within bicycling distance for us, but we will bring the car for the days when we stock up... ... ..Ray's and Albertson's will still be our local grocery stores for the quick in and out purchases) As I finished my nervous statement I mentioned — IT IS ONLY THROUGH CHANGE THAT YOU GROW Any change is well worth the hassle and delays that the construction will cause .... Lotral Costco members will appreciate a new facility, larger parking lot, larger warehouse and of course, more lines for the fueling station. The yearly property taxes received from Costco will be a boost to Central Point's operating budget, as well as the prospect of the additional jobs that Central Point residents could apply for........

This area of Central Point has been stagnate for almost 10 years since the beginning of the recession and needs a shot in the arm to get it going again. We think the Costco development will provide that stimulus and will be beneficial to surrounding commercial and industrial properties. It will also enable some of the infrastructure improvements to get completed which would be necessary for other development. This area of the valley was once characterized as the logistical center of commerce. This is probably why it was chosen by COSTCO. We think a good choice.

As you are aware, holding the public record open for an additional week to allow Costco to review comments submitted by the City of Medford on the day of our hearing has allowed some additional comments to be submitted into the record. Aside from the letters of support from the community for our proposed move, the overwhelming majority of testimony received at the hearing and subsequently submitted in written comments are related to traffic. Castro's traffic consultants, Kittelson & Associates, Inc., were directed to collaborate with all the agencies. Additional traffic counts and intersections were collected and analyzed to ensure the project could operate at acceptable levels of service and any safety issues could be mitigated. We are pleased to report that ODOT, Jackson Co. Roads and the City of Medford have reviewed and are in agreement with Castro's Conditional Use Permit as conditioned in the staff report. The attached letter from Kittelson & Associates is our response to each of the traffic related comments. It is our belief that the analysis provided adequately addresses the issues raised in the hearing and in written comments. Thank you for your consideration.

Comment; "Costco's traffic study is flawed in that it does not identify the routes its members use to access the existing Medford store; information which is necessary to accurately predict how those members will re-route to the proposed location." January 12, 2016letter from David Smith. Response: To assure that the traffic analysis was based on reasonably worst-case conditions, none of the traffic associated with the existing Costco warehouse on Crater Lake Highway was subtracted from the estimated existing and future background traffic volumes, nor was any of it re-routed to the proposed new warehouse location. Instead, current market demographics were used along with area -wide population, employment, land use, and transportation system information to estimate the likely trip distribution and routing characteristics of the entirely new vehicle traffic that was assumed to be generated by the proposed new Costco warehouse. This additional traffic was then superimposed on existing and anticipated future background traffic volumes, resulting in a conservatively high estimate of the total amount of traffic the transportation system will need to be able to accommodate at all key intersections. 2. Comment: "It makes no sense to add 10,670 more vehicles traveling through a construction zone, for an undetermined period, which will create an additional problem which has not been addressed. " Jon uary 12, 2016 letter from David Smith. Response: As is normal practice in almost all road construction projects, a traffic management plan will be established and implemented for the duration ofthe road construction period for the benefit of both vehicles and workers. 3. Comment: "Costco generates more traffic to its 'warehouse' of 130,000 square foot store in Medford than the nearly 700,000 square foot Rogue Valley Mail. "January 11, 2015 letter from L. Calvin Martin. Response: We are not aware of recent traffic counts at the Rogue Valley Mall. However, a traffic analysis of a shopping center containing 700,000 square feet would be based on an assumption of near -full occupancy and would result in an estimate of about 25,000 average weekday trip ends. 4. Comment: "[sic] Kittleson Consultants have made many assumptions that can and should be examined, at the very least, by a neutral consultant." January 11, 2016 letter from L. Calvin Martin. Response: The traffic analysis and associated report that was initially prepared by Kittelson & Associates has been critically reviewed by transportation planning and engineering staff at the City of Central Point; Jackson County; City of Medford; and Oregon Department of Transportation. Additionally, the City of Central Point hired Southern Oregon Transportation Engineers, LLC to conduct a thorough review and provide comments of the transportation impact analysis. Staff from the public review agencies also participated from the outset in defining the scope and scale of the traffic analysis that was ultimately performed. The results of the critical reviews conducted by these agencies have been incorporated into the final reportand the follow- up letters and technical memoranda that are part of the record. 5. Comment: "Table Rock Road... needs to be widened all the way to its intersection with Merriman Road' January 11, 2016 letter from L. Calvin Martin. Response: Jackson County has jurisdiction over Table Rock Road in this area and has made the decision on the begin and end points of this particular widening project based on a multitude of factors that fall beyond the scope of this Conditional Use Permit Application. With respect to the adequacy of the transportation system to accommodate the proposed new Costco warehouse, the traffic analysis demonstrates that adequate transportation services can be provided without extending the Table Rock Road improvement project beyond its current boundary limits. 6. Comment: 'The bridge crossing the 1-5 [on Table Rock Road] is old and very narrow. The increased traffic... will require that it be replaced with a stronger and wider (at least four lanes) bridge. " January ll, 2016 letterfrom L. Colvin Martin. Response: The proposed new Costco warehouse does not cause the need for this bridge to be replaced or widened in order to maintain adequate transportation services. 7. Comment: 'The proposed location of Costco will create a very dangerous mix of large heavy trucks (including triples) from adjacent and nearby businesses (Knife River Concrete and Aggregates, FedEx Ground and others)." January 11, 2015 letter from L. Calvin Martin. Response: The traffic analysis conducted by Kittelson & Associates was reviewed by appropriate City, County, and State agencies and explicitly considered the safety as well as the operational effects of the proposed new Castro warehouse. The mitigation measures incorporated into the conditions of approval have been found sufficient to maintain adequate transportation services with respect to both operations and safety. 8. Comment: 'The mix of senior drivers with congestion and heavy trucks is not appropriate or desirable and could have disastrous results." January 11, 2016 letter from L. Colvin Martin. Response: The traffic analysis conducted by Kittelson & Associates was reviewed by appropriate City, County, and State agencies and explicitly considered the safety as well as the operational effects of the proposed new Costco warehouse. The mitigation measures incorporated into the conditions of approval have been found sufficient to maintain adequate transportation services with respect to both operations and safety. 9. Comment: 'The land around the proposed Costco has not been developed to its potential, particularly to the North and West. When that land develops the intersections will be even more stressed. " ]an uary 11, 2016 letter from L. Calvin Martin. Response: The projected future background traffic volumes used in the traffic analysis are based on estimates of future population and employment for Central Point and the surrounding urban areas, and therefore anticipate that growth will continue to occur throughout the urban area. Additionally, separate traffic analyses will be required of all nearby specific development applications that are expected to generate significant volumes of additional vehicular traffic. All such development applications will need to provide, as part of their own approval process, whatever mitigation is identified as being necessaryto assure continued adequate transportation services in the area. 10. Comment: "The mitigation measures proposed create difficult driving and congestion all through Central Point's downtown area."January 11, 2016letter from L. Calvin Martin. Response: The mitigation measures set forth as conditions of approval were developed in collaboration with City, County, and State engineers and planners. They have been found to adequately mitigate the off-site transportation impacts associated with the proposed new Costco warehouse without creating unacceptable side-effects elsewhere. 11. Comment: "The expenses, of this first set of mitigations, are likely to be much more than what has been projected by the applicant's consultant and others." January 11, 2016 letter from L. Calvin Martin. Response: The construction cost estimates associated with each condition of approval were developed and reviewed by registered professional engineers and are based on the most recent available unit prices from similar and/or nearby construction projects. 12. Comment: "I assume that the roads around it will be widened somehow and traffic lights will be added. Who will be paying for this?" January 12, 2016 printed email letter from Kathy and Ray Wilkerson. Response: Costco has agreed to pay its proportionate share of each mitigation measure identified in the conditions of approval, which means it will fully mitigate the financial costs of the off-site impacts associated with the proposed new Costco warehouse. See also the response to Comment 41 above: the fact that Costco's traffic analysis has conservatively overestimated the facility's off-site traffic impacts gives further assurance that Costco is fully contributing its proportionate financial share of each mitigation measure identified in the conditions of approval. 13. Comment: "I don't have, nor remember, the exact numbers but it was somewhere in the realm of 13,000 cars a day, on average, were passing by the intersection of Wilson and Table Rock Road". January 11, 2016 letter from Dennis Burt. Response: Traffic data available from Jackson County indicates that in 2008 the average daily traffic volume on Table Rock Road in the vicinity of Wilson Road was about 17,000 vehicles per day. The traffic analysis estimates the proposed new Costco warehouse will generate about 90 additional vehicle trips (45 in each direction) on Table Rock Road in the vicinity of Wilson Road during a typical weekday evening peak hour. 14. Comment: 'Table Rock Rd. and Villas Rd. will become, more than ever, a safety and logistics nightmare for the people who live there."Januory 11, 2016 letter from Dennis Burt. Response: The traffic analysis conducted by Kittelson & Associates was reviewed by appropriate City, County, and State agencies and explicitly considered the safety as well as the operational effects of the proposed new Costco warehouse. The mitigation measures incorporated into the conditions of approval have been found sufficient to maintain adequate transportation services with respect to both operations and safety.

Stephanie Holtey City of Central Point 140 South Third Street Central Point, Oregon 97502 From: Brett Korporaal and Wayne Kittelson, PE Project Central Point Costco TIA 5ubject: Response to City of Medford Comments dated January 5, 2015 This memorandum responds to comments submitted by staff from the City of Medford related to the Central Point Costco Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA). Each comment from the letter dated January 5, 2016 is summarized below and then followed by Kittelson & Associates, Inc.'s (KAI) response. COMMENT 1 FROM CITY OF MEDFORD We understand the Rogue Valley International Airport is opposed to a median at the intersection of Biddle Rd and Airport Rd, as described in Condition No. 3. We recommend a condition that requires the developer to pay a proportional share towards a future traffic signal at this intersection. The City of Medford estimates the total cost for a traffic sign at this location to be $450,000 including design, construction, and inspection. We estimate the development's contribution at 10% from the additional traffic at this intersection shown in the Traffic Impact Analysis, dated October 2015, prepared by Kittelson and Associates, Inc. This results in a $45,000 contribution from the developer to this future project. RESPONSE 1 FROM KAI Costco Wholesale and the traffic engineers it has retained respectfully disagree that signalization is the most appropriate mitigation at the Airport Road/Biddle Road intersection. We believe there are good reasons to route trucks to the airport and Airport Road via Biddle Road. Biddle Road is currently a five lane road with a jug handle connection from Interstate 5, SR 62, SR 99, and SR 238 to the south of the airport. Biddle Road also provides a direct connection to E Pine Street, which provides access to Table Rock Road and 1-5 for trucks access north of the airport. KAI would need truck origin and destination data to determine optimum truck routing into and out of the airport. However, it is clear from information already available that a raised median can be constructed that will still allow trucks to make left- and right -turns onto Airport Road via Biddle Road. With a median at the Airport Road/Biddle Road intersection trucks would be able to make right -outs onto Biddle Road or a left - turn out of the airport can be accommodated at the O'Hare Parkway/Biddle Road intersection, which is roughly a quarter -mile south of the Airport Road/Biddle Road intersection and therefore does not require out -of -direction travel. Based on the low volumes on Airport Road, Costco's traffic engineers also question whether a traffic signal would be able to meet official installation warrants. A traffic signal will disrupt and add delay to all vehicles approaching the intersection whereas a raised median will re-route only a small number of vehicles — and it will re-route them in a way that does not add travel distance or create additional safety or operational problems. For these reasons, we believe that a raised median is the most effective and most appropriate measure to mitigate the effects of the proposed new Costco warehouse at this location. A planning level cost estimate has been prepared for a raised median at this intersection, resulting in an estimated total construction cost of $35,000. AttachmentA contains KAI's planning level cost estimation spreadsheet for a raised median at the Airport Road/Biddle Road intersection. COMMENT 2 FROM CITY OF MEDFORD At the intersection of Table Rock Rd and Morningside St we recommend a condition that requires the developer to pay a proportional share towards a future left turn lane at this intersection. See attached accident history showing an existing pattern of northbound rear -end collisions at this intersection. Per our December 24, 2015 letter, this development will increase PM peak hour trips through the intersection by 20%. The City of Medford estimates the total cost for a left -turn lane at this location to be $300,000 including design, construction, and inspection. A 20% contribution would result in a $60,000 contribution from the developer to this future project. RESPONSE 2 FROM KAI The City of Medford provided KAI with crash data at the Table Rock Road/Morningside Street intersection dated 2010 through 2014. In the City of Medford's letter to the City of Central Point dated December 24, 2015, the noted concerns were focused specifically on northbound rear -end crashes. However, a review of the crash data provided by the City reveals that the total number of reported crashes has declined each year since 2010, and only one rear -end northbound crash has been reported in the past three years at this location. These observations cause KAI to question whether there is an ongoing significant northbound rear -end crash problem that warrants mitigation. Even if the City of Medford believes an intersection improvement is needed at this location, neither KAI nor Costco sees a nexus between the relatively small amount of net new site -generated traffic expected to travel through the intersection and the concern about northbound rear -end crashes: • To the extent a problem requiring correction exists, it was created by a combination of traffic volume, roadway design, and environmental factors that Costco did not affect. • To the extent a problem requiring correction exists at this intersection, it is created by northbound vehicles on Table Rock Road turning left onto Morningside Street, and this is a movement to which Costco is expected to add no additional traffic. • The City of Medford has thus far provided insufficient information to confirm the northbound rear -end crash problem, to the extent such crashes are an ongoing significant problem, can be attributed primarily to the volume of through traffic on Table Rock Road. More specifically, it is impossible at this time to rule out the possibilities that approach speed and/or intersection visibility are the primary contributing factors to a northbound rear -end crash problem. • Given that the vehicle fleet is rapidly evolving into vehicles with forward-looking radar and automated braking capabilities, it is likely that the rear -end crash problem at this intersection (to the extent it exists) will naturally decline in significance and incidence over time, simply because of the new vehicle technology that is already being deployed. The City of Medford states that Costco's proportional share for constructing a separate left turn lane should be 20%, based an the volume of additional traffic that is expected to pass through the intersection because of the presence of the Costco warehouse during a typical weekday evening peak hour. However, the City's computations do not recognize that when analyzing crash data transportation engineers use average daily traffic (ADT) data on the approaches at the intersection rather than peak hour volumes. The City of Medford provided 2014 ADT data at this location, which totals 15,416 vehicles per day. Daily site -generated trips accessing the proposed site via Table Rock Road from the south is estimated to equal 20% of total site -generated traffic. This would add an additional 2,134 daily trips to Table Rock Road south of the site for a total of 17,550 ADT when the site opens in 2016. When performed on the basis of average daily traffic, therefore, the City's computations would result in a proportionate share estimate of 12% and not 20%. In summary, neither Costco nor the traffic engineers it has retained sees a nexus between the site's generated trips and the possible need for a northbound left -turn lane on Table Rock Road at its intersection with Morningside Street. As well, Costco and its traffic engineers believe the need for and appropriateness of a northbound left -turn lane at this intersection has not yet been established, and that further investigation could reasonably conclude that traffic volume on Table Rock Road, while a contributing factor, is not the primary or the only factor contributing to northbound rear -end crashes at this intersection. Attachment R includes the crash data summary and ADT at the Table Rock Road/Morningside Road intersection. SUMMARY Costco Wholesale believes that a contribution of $35,000 will allow construction and implementation of roadway improvements in Medford appropriate to mitigate the off-site transportation impacts anticipated within the City of Medford and attributable to the proposed new Central Point Costco warehouse. Even so, Costco Wholesale is prepared to contribute up to $70,000 to the City of Medford in order to assure that sufficient funds are provided to fully mitigate the proposed Costco warehouse's off-site transportation impacts within the Medford's jurisdictional boundaries.

Calvin Martin, Consultant P. O. Box 442 Jacksonville, Oregon, 97530 Appeal to the City Council of Central Point, Oregon Regarding: Costco Store Conditional -Use Permit your file #15022 This appeal is pursuant to your Municipal Code Section 17.05.400(F) Members of the Council, I am submitting this appeal in an effort demonstrate to you that the City of Central Point Planning Dept. and Planning Commission have committed an error in their approval of the Conditional -Use Permit for the Costco Store to be located in the City of Central Point in the Table Rock Road Industrial Park. I have standing In that I spoke at the original hearing on January 61h, 2016 and appealed the decision to the Planning Commission subsequently. It is easy to understand the city's desire to have such a vibrant retail store in your City. Costco is an amazing marketer of goods and services. They have a loyal customer base and provide terrific products to their customers. The City Planning Commission has abused their discretion in allowing such a use in the industrial zone and at this location. In my previous appeal to the Planning Commission I discussed the impact of the traffic that Costco generates at any location. I demonstrated the traffic generated on a day to day basis is substantially more than is generated by the entire Rogue Val ley Mall in Medford. This fact should be an occasion for pause and contemplation. You are required to follow the rules laid out in your Development Ordinance when approving such an application. It is interesting that in your STATEMENT OF VALU ES regarding growth it is stated that "We value planned growth that will retain our small town atmosphere'. This project does not fit that statement. One of the issues is that the zone, that the store is to be located in, is Industrial. The areas all around the store are zoned industrial and much is heavy industrial. The reason that retail/commercial activities are allowed in those zones with restrictions, and not outright, and that they go through the Conditional - Use permit process is that they are not the primary use but an accessory use to the primary. It is the intent that these ancillary and non -primary uses are to allow for complimentary services and uses In the zone. These non -primary uses are allowed for convenience and efficiency. Uses such as restaurants and supply stores are allowed to keep people from leaving the general area to obtain needed services When a store like Costco is placed in that zone you have to play, and indeed did so, a very significant semantic game with what you call the store. In calling it a warehouse store the project might just seem like a fit. with that said, it is certain that the management of Costco is under no illusions, whatsoever, P., 2 of 3, APpea1 that they are the largest retailer in the area. As I previously stated, Costco generates more traffic than the Rogue Valley Mall and they are about one fifth of their building footprint. lust consider the number of parking spaces that they are illustrating in their plan. It is obvious that they don't fit in this zone. They are not the complimentary service and supply provider that is allowed in the zone. A store of this size and magnitude should not be in an industrial zone. If they are allowed to develop on this site it will become a traffic disaster. The traffic issues have far reaching effects of congestion and cost on Central Point, Jackson County, and the City of Medford as well as the Oregon Department of Transportation. Of course, that means the tax payers who support those entities. In other words, all of us will be paying a huge price for the location of a store that is not an appropriate fit. It is not a code fit and it is not a size and traffic fit all in one. Once Costco goes in there will be no way to fix this problem. The area of this store and the road servicing it are plan designated as a Freight Traffic Route. It currently experiences very heavy truck traffic and will experience more as the balance of the lands near and adjacent to the Costco site develop. It is unwise and dangerous to mix high volume heavy truck traffic with a daily vehicle traffic load approaching 11,000. Traffic congestion around the Costco store will be a mix of heavy trucks and light vehicles. Table Rock Road will see the bulk of the traffic and the measures that have been suggested will only assist but not solve the problems related to this location. The additional traffic on Table Rock Road will soon find that it is not designed to handle the load further south of this store and people will soon move their preferred approach to Biddle Road and Table Rock Road north of the site. They will start using the freeway to enter Central Point from the North and the South. This will add congestion on the freeway off -ramps north and south and a loading on Pine Street all the way to the intersection with Hamrick and Pine and Table Rock Road and Pine/Biddle Road. Anyone who travels these roads now, knows that congestion in the morning and afternoon is already critical_ Many people going to Costco do so on their way home. It will definitely be more of snarl than it already is. The improvements required in the Traffic Impact Study indicate a resultant congestion from construction that is not to be completed for as much as two years. In reality, some of these items, such as an 1-5 off ramp improvement, are not scheduled by ODOT until 2023. There is no definitive evidence that the schedule has been modified. There are no engineering studies or drawings that would support a timely upgrade of that facility. There is no indication, other than verbal at the hearing of January 6", 2016 that some concession might be made. There is no evidence that the improvements along Table Rock Road are funded or that the requisite imminent domain takings of additional land for widening and intersections have been done. There have been no bids advertised for and only estimates by the applicants traffic consultants. I n fact, all of the items that should be in place for public safety and efficient road service are only ideas and suggestions at this point. It is possible that some maybe completed within two years but at this point it is far from certain. Page 3 of3, Appeal An additional issue that has not been fully vetted is the intersection of Biddle and Airport Road. This intersection is important as persons traveling to the airport are often on short time frames and congestion creates difficulties for them. Considering the fact that Table Rock Road to the south of the site will not be able to handle the traffic The impact on all of these roads is significant and not easily solved if at all. The argument can be made that the costs for all of the improvements needed to place this major retailer in an industrial zone along Table Rock Road more than eclipses the cost of the store itself by a factor of five. Estimates for the widening of the freeway overpass on Table Rock Road exceed 20 million dollars. Further south of the overpass are single family residences that need to back out onto Table Rock Road to exit their properties. The estimate for acquiring these properties for road widening does not exist, but would be very high. Table Rock Road is designated as a freight route in the overall traffic master plan and this enormous retailer with its accompanying vehicle traffic is not an appropriate mix with the truck traffic in that area. This traffic is well documented and I am certain that all of you are more than aware of the significant truck traffic that occurs on Table Rock Road to the North and South of this site and the truck traffic that enters and exits Central Point onto Pine Street from the Interstate 5. This type of traffic mix is difficult In small amounts that will always be present but to introduce vehicle traffic that is more than the Rogue Valley Mall to these roads even with the proposed improvements should give you pause. Vehicle and truck accidents will undoubtedly increase and serious injuries will occur when Costco's large number of senior drivers are forced to mix with large truck traffic. The intersection of Vilas Road and Crater Lake Highway has been the scene of horrendous accidents and many deaths and this location and traffic load creates at least four intersections with that type of potential. It was not long ago that the City of Central Point decided to pass on a "big box" store proposed by Walmart in this general vicinity. In fact, Walmart's proposed site created fewer problems than this site. Some of the same reasons that are expressed here were used to discourage the development of the Walmart store. It should be noted that the super -sized Walmart does not generate anything close to the traffic that this Costco site will generate on a day to day / hour to hour basis. If it was not a fit for Walmart at a more appropriate site, then this location and store is certainly not a fit. I am urging you to reconsider and overturn the decision of the Planning Commission on merit Thank you for your time. Respectfully submitted this 16"' day of February, 2016 L. Calvin Martin ATTACHMENT "C-2" COSTCO WIIOLESALE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRAFT FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW L. Calvin Martin Filing Date. February 16, 2016 File No. 15022 City Council Appeal I [caring March 10, 2016 PART 1 - INTRODUCTION On February 2, 2016, the Planning Commission in accordance with CPMC 17.76 approved a Conditional Use Permit authorizing the development of a Costco Wholesale membership warehouse and fuel facility on 18.28 acres within the M-1 zoning district ("Costco Application"). The project site is located on the eastern edge of Central Point city limits at the southwest corner of Hamrick and Table Rock road. 'Phe site also has frontage on Federal Way, a local street. Surrounding properties include developed and undeveloped industrial lands, including the M-1 and M-2 zoning districts. On February 16, 2016, L. Calvin Martin tiled an appeal contesting the Planning Commission's decision on the basis that the City of Central Point Planning Department and Planning Commission committed an error when approving the Conditional Use Permit for the Costco Store ("Martin Appeal"). 'Phe Martin Appeal addressed several issues that focused on legitimacy of a commercial/retail use in the M-1 zone and traffic related concems, which are addressed below. 'Phe Council's scope of review on this appeal is limited to the issues and evidence presented in the record before the Planning Commission as per CPMC. 17.05.400(F)(3). As this appeal is on the record the City Council may not consider new evidence or issues that were not preserved in the record below. Council review is limited to determining whether there is substantial evidence in the record to support the findings of the Planning Commission; or whether errors of law were committed. Membership warehouses are permitted as a conditional use per the City's 2009 similar use determination under CPMC 17.48.020(W) and 17.60.140, which was adopted by the Planning Commission as Resolution No.764, and affirmed by the Council on Appeal as Resolution No. 1217. The applicable approval criteria for a Conditional Use Permit are set forth under CPMC 17.76.040, Findings and Conditions for Conditional Use Permits. PART 2 - APPEAL ISSUES There were seventeen (17) issues raised in the Martin Appeal. Though some of these issues overlap, staff has attempted to lay each issue out separately for Council consideration. The following is a summary of each issue presented in the Martin Appeal including the draft findings and conclusion pertinent to each issue. Page 1 of 11 I. Planning Commission Abuse of Discretion. "The City Planning Commission has abused their discretion in allowing such a use in the industrial zone and at this location." Finding 1: Membership warehouses, per Section 17 48.020017) and 17.60.140, are allowed as a conditional use in the M -I district per Planning Commission Resolution No. 764 and City Council Resolution No. 1217. As such, the Planning Commission considered and approved the Costco Conditional Use Permit (CLIP) application in accordance with the conditional use permit standards and criteria.set forth in CPMC 17.76. Per the Applicant's Findings ("Applicant's Findings" and the Planning Department Supplemental Findings ("Supplemental Findings) and testimony provided in the record, evidence was .submitted into the record as to each criterion under 17.76 040 and was found to comply with all such standards and criteria. Conclusian I: The Council concludes that the Planning Commission did not err in finding that membership warehouses are permitted subject to a conditional use application under CPMC 17.76 and/or that there was .substantial evidence in the record to find that all such standards and criteria were met under 17.76.040.. 2. 'rraflilc Impacts. Traffic generated by Costco on a daily basis is substantially more than is generated by the entire Rogue Valley Mal I. Finding 2: The Applicant .submitted a traf c, impact analysis CTIA') into the record prepared by Kittelson and Associates for the subject property. City. staff reviewed the 71A and there is testimony in the record as to the substance of the TIA. No other traffic reports or analysis were prepared or submitted into the record by traffic engineers or other traffic experts. Testimony from opponent was limited to opinions as to the amount oftraffic that would be generated by the subject application. There was no other traffic analysis in the record to contradict the Applicant's TLA, nor does the record contain any traffic analysis as to the amount of traffic at the Rogue Palley Mall Conclusion 2: The Council concludes there is not .substantial evidence in the record to find that traffic at the Rogue Palley Mall is relevant to this application, n or is there .sufficient evidence in the record to substantiate the amount of traffic generated by the mall. 3. Development Ordinance. "You are required to follow the rules laid out in your development ordinance when approving such an application." Finding 3: The Planning Commission's considered the subject application as a CUP under the City's authorization oil membership warehouses as a conditional use in the M -I zone as discussed in Finding I above, and Finding 17.48.040(A) of the Planning Department Supplemental Findings in the record The Planning Commission considered and approved the Conditional Use Permitfor Costco Wholesale based on the application's demonstrated compliance with the .standards and criteria for conditional use permits per CPMC 17.76 as .set forth in the Applicant's h'indings and the Planning Department Supplemental Findings (.See Resolution No. 827 and attachments thereto). Paget of 11 Conclusion 3The Council concludes that there is substantial evidence in the record to find that the Planning Commission applied the relevant standards and criteria under Resolution Nos. 764 and 1217, and CPMC 17.76 to approve a membership warehouse and fuel facility and applied the evidence in the record to find such standards and criteria were mel. 4. Statement of Values. - "Your S'I'A] EMEN'I' Of VALUES regarding growth... stated that, "We value planned growth that will retain our small town atmosphere." this project does not fit that statement" Finding 4: In considering the Conditional Use Application for the proposed Membership Warehouse and fuel facility, the Planning Commission was required to render a decision based on the proposal's demonstrated compliance with Standards and Criteria for Conditional Use Permits set forth in Central Point Municipal Code Chapter 77.76. Conclusion 4: the mission statement i.s notpart of the Municipal Code nor Comprehensive Plan. It does not serve as a standard or criteria and is merely aspirational language under the City's general Mission Statement. The Council finds the Planning Commission did not err applying the ,Standards and Criteria ofCPMC 17.76. 5. Accessory Use. "One of the issues is that the zone that the store is to be located in is Industrial. The reason that retail/commercial activities are allowed in those zones with restrictions, and not outright, and that they go through the Conditional Use permit process is that they are not the primary use but an accessory use to the primary." Finding 5: The Planning Commission found that membership warehouses were adopted by the City as conditional uses in 2009 as set forth in Finding 1748-040(A) of the Planning Department Supplemental Findings adopted by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission found that as a result of the similar use determination, membership warehouses are not considered accessory uses but ate permitted .subject to the .standards and criteriafor Conditional Use Permits per CPMC 17.76. Conclusion 5: the Council concludes that the Planning Commission's consideration of membership warehouses as a conditional use and not as an accessory use is in conformance with the City's .similar use authorization per CPMC 77.48.020(W) and CPMC 1760140- See also Planning Commission Resolution 764 and City Council Resolution 1217. 6. Semantics- —"When a store like Costco is placed in that zone you have to play, and indeed did so, a very significant semantic game with what you call the store. In calling it a warehouse store the project mightjust seem like a fit With that said, it is certain that the management of Costco is under no illusions, whatsoever, that they are the largest retailer in the area." Finding 6: The Planning Commission's consideration of the Costco CUP to develop a membership warehouse and fuel facility is based on the City's .similar use authorization for Pngc 3 of 11 membership warehouses in the MW I zoning district per Finding 17.48.040(A) in the Planning Department Supplemental Findings and Finding 1 above.. Conclusion 6: Wenthership warehouse clubs, such as Costco Wholesale, are allowed in the iv district subject to the .standards and criteria set forth in CPMC 17.76, Conditional Use Permit Not a Fit in the Zona "As I previously stated, Casten generates more traffic than the Rogue Valley Mall and they are about one fifth of their building footprint. Just consider the number of parking spaces that they are illustrating in their plan. It is obvious that they don't ft this zone. They are not a complimentary service and supply provider that is allowed in this zona A store of this size and magnitude should not be in an industrial zone. If they are allowed to develop on this site it will become a traffic disaster." Finding 7: As noted in findings 5 and 6, membership warehouses were approved in 2009 as a conditional use in the M-1 zone. With regard to traffic, CPU(' 17.76 requires consideration of the following: A. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use and to meet all other development and lot requirements of the subject zoning district and all other provisions of this code; R. "That the site has adequate access to a public street or highway and that the street or highway is adequate in size and condition to effectively accommodate the traffic that is expected to be generated by the proposed use; C. That the proposed use will have no significant adverse effect on abutting property or the permitted use thereof. In making this determination, the commission shall consider the proposed location of improvements on the site; vehicular ingress, egress and internal circulation; setbacks; height of buildings and structures; walls and fences; landscaping; outdoor lighting; and signs; D. That the establishment, maintenance or operation of the use applied for will comply with local, state and federal health and safety regulations and therefore will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhoods and will not be detrimental or injurious to the property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the community based on the review of those factors listed in subsection C of this section; E. That any conditions required for approval of the permit are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare and may include: 2. Increasing street widths, modifications in street designs or addition of street signs or traffic signals to accommodate the traffic generated by the proposed use, Page Ant 11 3. Adjustments to off-street parking requirements in accordance with any unique characteristics of the proposed use, 4. Regulation of points of vehicular ingress and egress, rr* 11. Such other conditions that are found to be necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare, The findings adopted by the Planning Commission reviewed the criteria for Conditional Use Permits set forth in CPMC 17.76 and made findings that the .site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use; the .site has adequate access to a public .street or highway; the proposed use will not have adverse effects to abutting properties or permitted uses thereof, that the use will not be detrimental to the health safety or general we fare ofpersons residing or working in the .surrounding area or the community; and that the conditions imposed are deemed necessary and sufficient to protect the public health, .safety and general welfare. See the Supplemental and Applicant's findings in the record below_ More particularly, the only traffic impact analysis or other expert evidence submitted into the record is the TIA submitted by the Applicant, and comments from the City, City of Medford, ODOT and the Airport. the Planning Commission imposed conditions of approval pursuant to the TIA and comments from other jurisdictions for traffic impact mitigation. No expert testimony was received into the record countering the TIA or agency recommendations for traffic impact mitigations. (See Finding 2 addressing tru)jtc generated by Casten compared to the Rogue Palley Mall)_ All other evidence as to traffic was conjecture or speculation. As demonstrated in Finding 17.76 040(0) in the record below, the Planning Commission considered the proposal's impacts to abutting properties, including an evaluation of the location of proposed site improvement; vehicular ingress, egress and internal circulation; setbacks; building height; walls and fences; landscaping; outdoor lighting and sigms. 7 h Planning Commission found that the proposed project is typical of site development wt(hin the M zone and that the .site development standards for permitted uses in combination with the conditions of approval relative to ingress and egress per Finding 17 76.040(13) in the record below are sufficient to avoid adverse impacts to abutting properties or permitted uses thereof. As demonstrated in Finding 17 76.040(D) in the record below, the Planning Commission considered the issue ofsafety and found that there is sufficient evidence in the Applicant's findings to demonstrate, in conjunction with the building code and fire district regulations, that the proposed use will comply with local, state and federal health and safety regulations and therefore not be a detriment to the health, safety and general welfare of the community or persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhoods_ Conclusion 7: The proposed membership warehouse and fuel facility was evaluated against the standards and criteria for conditional use permits and found to comply. There is substantial Page 5 of 11 evidence in the recordfor the Planning commission to find that the use is compatible with the zone. 8. 1 raffic F,ffects Par Reaching. —"The traffic issues have far reaching effects of congestion and cost on Central Point, Jackson County, and the City of Medford as well as the Oregon Department of Transportation. Of course, that means the lax payers who support those entities. In other words, all of us will be paying a huge price for the location of a store that is not an appropriate lit. It is not a code til and it is not a size and traffic fit all in one. Once Cusco goes in there will be no way to fix this problem." Finding 8: Per the TIA, the proposed Costco Wholesale and fuel facility is expected to generate 10,670 new daily trips. Ileavy vehicles were evaluated in the TIA and no problems were identified with the mix of light and heavy vehicles based on volume and impacts to LOS/VC On the day of opening traffic impacts were identified at four (4) intersections: 1) Interstate 5 Northbound Off Rump, 2) Table Rock and Hamrick Road, 3) Table Rock and Airport Road; and 4) Airport and Riddle Road. Although not identified in the TIA, the City of Medford provided crash data and comments in a letter dated January 5, 2016 indicating that traffic generated by Costco would negatively impact the intersection of fable Rock Road and Worningsicle .Street south of project .site. In accordance with the TIA and comments receivedfrom affected agencies, the Planning Commission imposed conditions of approval requiring mitigation of the traffic impacts caused by the proposed Costco Wholesale (See Table 1).

Conclusion 9: There is substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to find traffic mitigation required by this project has been satisfied as conditioned 10. Additional Traffic Impacts on Table Rock Road. - "Additional traffic on'I able Rock Road will soon find that it is not designed to handle the load further south ofthis store and people will soon move their preferred approach to Biddle Road and Table Rock Road north of the site. They will start using the freeway to enter Central Point from the North and the South. This will add congestion on the freeway off -ramps north and south and a loading on Pine Street all the way to the intersection with Hamrick and Pine and Table Rock Road and Pine/Biddle Road." Finding 10. The 77A did not identify any issues south of the project site on Table Rock Road. Although not identified in the TIA, the City of Medford submitted comments on December 24, 2016 and January 5, 2016 indicating that the intersection of Table Rock Road at Morningside Street would be adversely impacted due to left turn delays and associated safety concerns. Per the City ofMedford's request, the Planning Commission imposed a condition requiringfinancial contribution for the applicant's proportional share of traffic mitigation to the intersection prior to building permit issuance.

They will start using the freeway to enter Central Point from the North and the South. This will add congestion on the freeway off -ramps north and south and a loading on Pine Street all the way to the intersection with Hamrick and Pine and Table Rock Road and Pine/Biddle Road." Finding 10. The 77A did not identify any issues south of the project site on Table Rock Road. Although not identified in the TIA, the City of Medford submitted comments on December 24, 2016 and January 5, 2016 indicating that the intersection of Table Rock Road at Morningside Street would be adversely impacted due to left turn delays and associated safety concerns. Per the City ofMedford's request, the Planning Commission imposed a condition requiringfinancial contribution for the applicant's proportional share of traffic mitigation to the intersection prior to building permit issuance. Page 7 of 11 Conclusion 10: There is .substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to find that the Applicant will improve, or make financial contributions toward traffic mitigation, that is roughly proportional to the impacts of this development. 11. Improvement Timing. - "The improvements required in the Traffic Impact Study indicate a resultant congestion from construction that is not to be completed for as much as two years. In reality, some of these items, such as an 1-5 off ramp improvement, are not scheduled by ODO'f until 2023. 'There is no definitive evidence that the schedule has been modified. There are no engineering studies or drawings that would support a timely upgrade of that facility. There is no indication, other than verbal at the hearing of January 61h, 2016 that some concession might be made. There is no evidence that the improvements along Table Rock Road are funded or that the requisite imminent domain takings of additional land for widening and intersections have been done." Finding?/There was evidence in the record that identifies traffic impacts and mitigation measures and the feasibility of imposing conditions for .such traffic mitigation which includes the TIA prepared by Kittelson & Associates, as well as comments received from affected agencies, including the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Jackson County Roads, City of Central Point Publk Works Department, and City efMedford Evidence in the record addressing traffic impacts and the timing of improvements is asfollow.e - Table Rock Road Improvement Project The traffic impact analysis prepared by Kittelson & Associates took into account planned roadway improvements, including the Jackson County Table Rock Road Improvement project, which is .scheduled to be constructed in 2017 (.See TIA, Page 32). - Interstate 5 Northbound Off -Ramp, Exit 33 Improvements. As conditioned, Costco will be required to enter into a Cooperative Improvement Agreement with ODOT and pay its proportional share of the improvement cost prior to building permit issuance (See Revised Public Works Staff Report dated January 5, 2016, Condition Na. 1). Evidence in the record essablishes that the improvements are planned to be expedited such that they will be constructed as close to opening day of the subject development as possible' a. The Revised Public Works Staff Report dated January 5, 2016.states that, 'Per ODOT; construction will commence at the earliest possible date" (See 7Yafc Impacts and Mitigation Item No. 4) h. During staff's presentation at the January 5, 2016 Planning Commission Meeting, during a discussion of traffic impacts and mitigation (26:05), staff stated that ODOT agreed to expedite construction of the off -ramp improvements as close to opening day as possible. Dan Morehouse, ODOTPlanner, concurred with the staff presentation and stated that he had nothing further to add. (Audio Recording. at 1 26.15). Page 8 or 1 I Conclusion ]/:There is .substantial evidence in the record to support the Planning Commission's decision as to the feasibility and timing of the traffic mitigation conditions. 12. Biddle Road and Airport Road Intersection. - "The intersection of Biddle Road and Airport Road has not been fully vetted. This intersection is important for travelers using the airport. Congestion will create difficulties for them." Finding 12: The applicant's TIA indicates that the westbound approach of Airport and Diddle Road exceeds the level of service standard for the City ofMedford. In a letter dated.lanuary 5, 2016, the City of Medford requested a condition that requires the developer to pay a proportional share toward gfuture traffic signal atehis intersection. The estimated project cost is $450,00Q including design, construction and inspection_ Per the TIA, Costco contributes 10% of the traffic at this intersection. As conditioned, Costco shall provide evidence it has contributed its proportionate share of the construction ofsignalization improvements in an amount not to exceed $45,000, which .shall be payable to the City ofMedford prior to building permit issuance. Conclusion 12: As conditioned, facility adequacy at this intersection is met by the Planning Commission's requirement that the Applicant contribute its pro rata .share of the signalization improvements per the City ofMedford Comments dated January 5, 2016. 13. Traffic Impacts Not Easily Solved, if at all. - "1he impact on all these roads is significant and not easily solved if at all." Finding 13: Traffic impacts and mitigations are identified in the TIA and by the City ofMedford, ODOT relative to the intersections afDiddle and Airport Road and table Rock and Morningside Street. The Planning Commission's decision to approve the CUP is subject to conditions of approval assuring timely completion of the mitigation actions outlined in the TIA and requested by the affected agencies. See also Finding 8 incorporated herein by reference. Conclusion 13: There is substantial evidence in the record that as conditioned, the project will mitigate its proportionate traffic impacts caused by this project and that such conditions are feasible_ 14. Cost of Improvements. - `"f he costs for all of the improvements needed to place this major retailer in an industrial zone along Table Rock Road more than eclipses the cost of the store itself by a factor of five. Estimates for the widening of the freeway overpass on Table Rock Road exceeds 20 million dollars. Further south ofthe overpass are single family residences that need to back out onto'I able rock Road to exit their properties. The estimate for acquiring these properties for road widening does not exist, but would be very high" Finding 14There is no evidence in the record from of agencies or traffic experts or engineers to demorutrate that the Interstate 5 overpass on Table Rock Road warrants replacement or that Table Rock Road improvements south ofblerstate 5 are required, other than Page 9 of 11 required mitigation at the intersection of Table Rock Road andlNwningside Sheet, which was addressed. See also Finding Mo. 8, incorporated herein by reference. Conclusion 14: There is substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to find traffic mitigation required by this project has been .satisfied as conditioned and that such conditions are feasible. 15. Freight Route, Traffic Conflicts. - "I able Rock Road is designated as a freight route in the overall traffic master plan and this enormous retailer with its accompanying vehicle traffic is not an appropriate mix with the truck traffic in that area." Finding 15. heavy vehicle impacts were evaluated in the TIA and no problems were identified with the mix of light and heavy vehicles based on volume and LOS/hC ratios (See Synchro Reports in the TLA Appendices). No other expert testimony was presented as to the mix of vehicle traffic. Conclusion 15. There is substantial evidence in the recordfor the Planning Commission to find that the mix of light and heavy vehicles does not create problems that would warrant further hgffc mitigation or denial of thi.s application_ 16. Vehicle and Truck Accidents. - "Vehicle and truck accidents will undoubtedly increase and serious injuries will occur when Craton's large number of senior drivers are forced to mix with Targe truck traffic." Finding I6Heavy vehicle impacts were evaluated in the TIA and no problems were identified with the mix of light and heavy vehicles based on volume (See Synchro Reports in the TIA Appendices) nor was there evidence in the rccordfrom experts as to the "large number ofenior drivers_" Conclusion 16: There is substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to find traffic mitigation required by this project has been satisfied as conditioned and .safety concerns do not exist as a result of'this project 17. Vilas and Crater Lake Highway. - "The intersection of Vilas and Crater Lake Highway has been the scene of horrendous accidents and many deaths and this location and traffic load creates at least four intersections with that type of potential." Finding 14. A crash analysis was conducted as part of the TIA at all .study area intersections (17 IA Page 28) to document crash types, trends and .severity_ The IN found that there were no fatality crashes and the most common crashes were turning movement and rear -end crashes accounting for approximately 82% of all crashes. There is no expert evidence in the record substantiating this allegation. Conclusion 14: There is substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission m find Page 10 of 11 traffic mitigation required by this project has been satisfied as conditioned and safety concerns do not exist as a result of this project. PART 3 - SUMMARY CONCLUSION Council has reviewed the evidence and issues in the record and the issues raised in the Martin appeal. The Council concludes that there was substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to approve the application, and the Commission did not commit errors of law. "Chis Conclusion is based upon the findings herein, and the evidence in the record including the Applicant's findings and the Planning Staff Supplemental Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Page ll of 11 ATTACHMENT "D-1" BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF CENTRAL POINT. OREGON NOTICE OF APPEAL Re: Costco Conditional Use Permit (File NO. 15022) Date of Decision: February 2, 2016 Pursuant to Section 17.05.400(F) of the Central Point Municipal Code David J. Smith files this Notice of Appeal and states the following: Appellant has standing to bring this appeal in that he appeared and testified before the Central Point Planning Commission on January 6, 2016 and filed written comments on January 12, 2016 within the comment period (written comments are attached hereto. The specific issues raised on appeal which were raised during the comment period are as follows: 1. Costco's traffic study is flawed in that it does not identify the present traffic patterns for Costco's members to the present store, and, without that information it is impossible to predict the route choices of Costco members to the proposed site. The use of general population statistics is inadequate to assign predicted distribution of the 10,670 daily trips by Costco members. 2. Costco's traffic study indicates that there will be heavy traffic added to Biddle Road at the entrances to the Rogue Valley International -Medford Airport, but does not indicate that the airport master plan has been taken into consideration in the traffic study. 3. The access points for the proposed Costco site are on roads which ODOT has master planned as a Freight corridor.. ODOT's Freight Profile identifies Table Rock Road as one of the local roads that "experience high volumes and of freight traffic". The proposed location is in the midst of existing freight terminals, with more planned for the future, which will mix high volume truck traffic with 10,670 Costco member daily automobile trips. 4. There is nothing in the record to verify that COOT has funded and scheduled construction of the improvements relied upon to support the Costco application. Without that confirmation that the improvements will be completed soon after the store opens is total speculation. Considering the above issues the approval of the conditional use permit without further study has the potential to create immediate and future traffic congestion and hazards, and, the placement of Costco in the proposed location is contrary to (the attached) Central Point Statement of Values: "Growth: We value planned growth that will retain our small town atmosphere",and, "Transportation: We value a system of transportation and infrastructure that is modern, efficient and sensitive to the environment." Respectfully submitted this 16th day of February, 2016.

Co-owner of business on S. Front Street in Central Point and several apartments 2. Longtime member of Costoo and shop at present store at least twice a week. 3. Research of official records of ODOT and Central Point reveal that the proposed she for Costco is located on an official freight route system within the city and in the midst of freight terminals.(Reddaway, Conway, Fed Ex.) One, Reddaway Trucking already account for 600 truck trips per day. According to ODOT materials Gordon Trucking owns a large parcel directly across from the proposed entrance to Costco, and Intends to build a freight terminal, adding a significant increase in trucks using the area. 4 Costco's traffic study indicates its store will add 10,670 new trips per day, the majority of which will come from Medford on Biddle and Table Rock. S. Costco traffic will add several thousand more cars per day using Biddle and adding congestion at the entrance to the airport. 6 ... ODOPs Freight Profile identifies Table Rock Road as one of the local roads that "experience high volumes of freight traf0c." 7. Costco's traffic study is flawed In that It does not identify the routes Its members use to access the existing Medford store; information which is necessary to accurately predict how those members will re- route to the proposed location. 8. Costm tries to Identify Its operation as a warehouse, but indicates In Its November 3, 20125�memo to the city staff( at page 14) that Its Parking Demand Study requires 783 parking stalls which is more than the city requires for a retail store the size of the proposed Costco. CONCLUSION: While the "member Warehouse" description of the Costco proposal may distinguish it from other retail stores as far as the variety of merchandise and profit margins, Its Impact on trafflcwill be greater than other retails stores of the same size. One need only note how fast the Costco parking lot fills up and remains full during store hours; much more so than other retail stores which are open longer hours which results In less traffic in any given hour. Even the entire Medford Mall appears to have less parked cars. Costco and the city staff both Indicate the Intention to have the store open in 2016, before the widening project on Table Rock even begins. It makes no sense to add 10,670 more vehicles traveling through a construction zone, for an undetermined period, which will create an additional problem which has not been addressed. %w - CENTRAL POINT /t is theMissiOn mission of the City fCent al Point to build and maintain a highly livable community by working in harmony and being a catalyst for partnership with all the members of the community, public and private.

City Hall 140 S. 3rd Street Central Point, OR 97502 (541) 664-3321 ATTACHMENT "D-2" COSTCO WHOLESALE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRAFT FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Appellant: David J. Smith Notice of Appeal Date: February 16, 2016 File No. 15022 City Council Appeal Hearing March 10, 2016 PART 1 -INTRODUCTION On February 2, 2016, the Planning Commission in accordance with CPMC 17.76 approved a Conditional Use Permit authorizing the development of a Costco Wholesale membership warehouse and fuel facility on 18.28 acres within the M-1 zoning district ("Costco Application"). 'Che project site is located on the eastern edge of Central Point city limits at the southwest corner of Hamrick and "fable Rock road. The site also has frontage on Federal Way, a local street. Surrounding properties include developed and undeveloped industrial lands, including the M-1 and M-2 zoning districts. On February 16, 2016, David I. Smith filed an appeal ("Smith Appeal") contesting the Planning Commission's decision on grounds that the Planning Commission erred in approving the application as: I. Costco's traffic study is flawed because it does not accurately identify trip distribution patterns. 2. Coster's traffic study does not indicate that the airport master plan has been taken into consideration. 3. Site access on an ODO'Idesignated bright Corridor will mix existing and future high volume truck traffic with Costco generated traffic. 4. There is nothing in the record to verify that ODOT has funded and scheduled construction of the improvements relied upon to support the Costco application. 5. As a result of specific issues identified above, approval of the Costco CIDP without further study will create immediate and future traffic congestion and hazards. 6. Approval of the CUP is contrary to the Central Paint Statement of Values relative to growth and transportation. The Council's scope orreview on this appeal is limited to the issues and evidence presented in the record before the Planning Commission as per CPMC 17.05.400(F')(3). As this appeal is on the record the City Council may not consider new evidence or issues that were not preserved in the record below. Council Page 1 of 6 review is limited to determining whether there is substantial evidence in the record to support the findings of the Planning Commission; or whether errors of law were committed. Membership warehouses are permitted as a conditional use per the City's 2009 similar use determination under CPMC 17.48.020(W) and 17.60.140, which was adopted by the Planning Commission as Resolution No.764, and affirmed by the Council on Appeal as Resolution No. 1217. The applicable approval criteria for a Conditional Use Permit are set forth under CPMC 17.76.040, Findings and Conditions for Conditional [Jae Permits. PART 2 - APPEAL ISSUES There were six (6) issues raised in the Smith Appeal. The following is a summary of each issue in the Smith Appeal, including the findings and conclusions pertinent to each issue. 1. "traffic Study Flawed. - "Costco's traffic study is flawed in that it does not identify the present traffic patterns for Costco's members to the present store and, without that information, it is impossible to predict the route choices of Costco members to the proposed site. The use of general population statistics in inadequate to assign predicted distribution of the 10,670 daily trips by Custom Members." Finding l: The Applicant submitted a traffic impact analysis ("TIA) by Kittelson and Associates for the .subject property into the record City staff reviewed the TLA and there is testimony in the record as to the substance of the TIA from City staff. Na other traffic reports or analysis were prepared or submitted into the record, by traffic engineers or other traffic experts_ According to the TIA, "the trip distribution pattern for site generated trips was developed using zip code data from current memberships at the existing Costco warehouse located on OR 62 (Crater Lake Highway) in Medford, Oregon, as well as from the existing traffic patterns and major trip origins and destinations within the .study area."' Trip distribution was ver fed by regional travel demand models provided by ODOTfor the base year (2006) and,future year (2038). There was no tragic analysis supporting the allegation that the trip distribution methodology utilized in the TIA is flawed. Conclusion 1: The City Council concludes there is substantial evidence in the record to find that the TIA is valid and contained adequate trip distribution methodology for the subject property. 2. Custom's traffic study indicates that there will be heavy traffic added to Biddle Road at the entrances to the Rogue Valley International -Medford Airport, but does not indicate that the airport master plan has been taken into consideration in the traffic study. Finding 2: The Planning Commission's consideration of the Costco CUP application relied upon the Applicant's 7[A and agency comments (i.e. the City of Medford) relative to the identified traffic impacts and mitigation measures at the intersection ofBiddle Road and Airport Road (See I IIndf e Impact Analysis: Central Point Costco Development, Central Point, Oregon. Kittelson & Associates. Octobcr2015. Page37 Page 2 of 6 Finding 17 70 040(B)(4) in the Planning Department Supplemental Findings ("Supplemental Windings" in the record below.) The airport was identified as an agency entitled to notice, but did not submit comments into the record requiring additional traffic mitigation. The TIA identified impacts to the intersection. 7'he City of Medford recommended a condition of approval to include a median to resolve the impact. Ina letter dated January 5, 2016, the City ofMedford indicated that the airport was opposed to the proposed mitigation measure because it was in conflict with the airport master plan. As an alternative, the City ofMedford requested a condition that requires the applicant to pay a proportional. share toward a future traffic signal at this intersection in conformance with the airport master plan. The City (if Medford indicated this contribution would he .sufficient to mitigate the impacts of this project. The estimated project cost is $450, 000, including design, construction and inspection. Per the TIA, Costco contributes 10% of the traffic at this intersection. As conditioned, Costco shall provide evidence it has contributed its proportionate share of the construction ofsignalization improvements in an amount not to exceed $45,000, which shall be payable to the City ofMedford prior to building permit issuance. No other traffic reports or analysis were prepared or submitted into the record by traffic engineers or other traffic experts. Conclusion 2: The City Council concludes there is substantial evidence in the record to find that, as conditioned, the application complies with CPMC 17 76 and that the applicant will have contributed its proportional share toward traffic mitigation to the intersection of Biddle Road and Airport Road at the time of development The Council further concludes there is sufficient evidence in the record to determine that the airport did not request any mitigation for the airport master plan, but that consideration to such master plan was given 3. The access points for the proposed Costco site are on roads which ODOT has master planned as a freight corridor. ODOT's freight Profile identifies Table Rock Road as one of the local roads that "experience high volumes and of freight traffic." The proposed location is in the midst of existing freight terminals, with more planned for the future, which will mix high volume truck traffic with 10,670 Coster, member daily automobile trips. Finding 3: Heavy vehicles were evaluated in the Applicant's TIA at all study intersection and site driveways, including Table Rock Road. No problems were identified with the mix of light and heavy vehicle traffic based on volume and impacts to LOSIVC. An ODOI representative was present at the January 5, 2016 hearing and did not identify safety concerns during his testimony. (Audio Recording at 1:26). The Planning Commission considered in Finding 17 76.040(B) and 17 76.040(C)(2) the operational and safety conditions of ingress and egress on Table Rock Road, as well as all study intersections. Per the TIA and agency comments, the Planning Commission imposed conditions of approval requiring access restriction and mitigation measures to resolve traffic impacts associated with ingress and egress on Table Rock Road No other traffic reports or analysis was prepared or submitted into the record by traffic engineers or other traffic experts. Conclusion 3. The Council concludes there is .sufficient evidence in the record for the Planning Page 3 of 6 Commission to find traffic mitigation required by this project has been satisfied as conditioned and that the mix of truck traffic with the proposed development will not create additional safety concerns requiring further mitigation, except at identified and conditioned herein_ 4. '1 here is nothing in the record to verify that ODO'Ihas funded and scheduled construction of the improvements relied upon to support the Costco application. Without that confirmation that the improvements will he completed soon after the store opens is total speculation. Finding 4: Evidence in the record addressing traffic impacts and the timing of the Interstate 5 Northbound Off -Ramp, Exit 33 Improvements, and the feasibility of Imposing conditions for such traffic mitigation includes the 71A prepared by Kittelson & Associates, as well as comments received from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). As conditioned, Costco will be required to enter into a Cooperative Improvement Agreement with ODOT and pay its proportional share of the improvement cost prior to building permit issuance (See Revised Public Works SupReport dated January 5, 2016, Condition No 1). Evidence in the record establishes that the improvements are planned to be expedited .such that they will be constructed as close to opening day of the subject development as passible; a. The Revised Public Works Staff Report dated January 5, 2016 states that, 'Per ODOT construction will commence at the earliest possible date_" (See Traffic Impacts and Mitigation Item No 4) b. During staff's presentation at the.lanuary 5, 2016 Planning Commission Meeting, during a discussion of traffic impacts and mitigation (26.05), staffstated that ODOT agreed to expedite construction of the off ramp improvements as close to opening day as possible. Don Morehouse, ODOT Planner, concurred with the staff presentation and stated that he had nothingfurther to add (Audio Recordingat l; 26' IS)_ Conclusion 4' There is substantial evidence in the record to .support the Planning Commission's decision as to the feasibility and timing of the traffic mitigation conditions. 5. Without further .study, Costco has the potential to create immediate and future traffic congestion and hazards_ Finding 5: Per the TIA, the proposed CmYco Wholesale and fuel facility is expected to generate 10,,670 new daily nips. Heavy vehicles were evaluated in the TIA and no problems were identified with the mix of light and heavy vehicles based on volume and impacts to LOSIVC On the day ofopening traffic impacts were identified at four (4) intersections' l) Interstate 5 Norlhbound Off -Ramp; 2) Table Rock and Hamrick Road, 3) Table Rock and Airport Road; and 4) Airport and Biddle Road. Although not idenlified in the TIA, the City ofMedford provided crash data and comments in a letter dated January 5, 2016 indicating that traffic generated by Costco would negatively impact the intersection of Table Rock Road and Morningside Street .south of the pre jest site. In accordance with the TIA and comments received from affected agencies, the Planning Commission imposed conditions of approval requiring mitigation of the. traffic impacts caused by the proposed Costco Wholesale (See Table l below)_ Page 4 n(6 Interstate 5 NR Volume to Capacity (v/c) linter into a Cooperative Prior to Off-Ramp Ratio is exceeded Improvement Agreement building with ODOT and the City to permit develop and construct dual issuance right turn lanes per IAMP Protect No. 9.

No other traffic studies or testimonyfrom a traffic engineer or other traffic expert was received as to the substance of the TIA. As demonstrated in the Applicant's Findings and the Planning Department Findings, the Planning Commission found the project as conditioned is adequate to accommodate the use (See Planning Commission Findings for 7776.040 in the record below). Yagc 5 of 6 Conclusion 5: The City Council concludes that there is substantial evidence in the record to support the Planning Commission's decision that, as conditioned, the project will mitigate the traffic impacts generated by this project. 6. The placement of Costco in the proposed location is contrary to the Central Point Statement of Values: "Growth: We Value planned growth that will retain our small town atmosphere," and "'1'ransponation: We value a system of transportation and infrastructure that is modern, efficient and sensitive to the environment" Finding 6. In considering the Conditional Use Application for the proposed Membership Warehouse and fuel facility, the Planning Commission was required to render a decision based on the proposal's demonstrated compliance with Standards and Criteria for Conditional L se Permits .set forth in Central Point Municipal Code Chapter 17.76 Conclusion 6: The mission statement is not part of the Municipal Code nor Comprehensive Plan. It does not serve as a.standard or criteria and is merely aspirational language under the City's general Mission Statement. The Planning Commission did not err in applying the Standards and Criteria set forth in CPMC 17.76. t. PART 3 — SUMMARY CONCLUSION Council has reviewed the evidence and issues in the record and the issues raised in the Smith appeal.
