PART 1 — INTRODUCTION
EXHIBIT "A"
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 comer of I lamrick andable 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, L. Calvin Martin filed 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"). The Martin
Appeal addressed several issues that focused on legitimacy of a commercial/retail use in the M-1 zone
and traffic related concerns, which are addressed below.
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. 17.1 5.400(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 Pcrmits.

PART 2 — APPEAL ISSUES
"I here 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.
1. Planning Commission Abuse of Discretion. "'Ihe City Planning Commission has abused their
discretion in allowing such a use in the industrial one and at this location."
Finding I: Membership warehouses, per Section 17.48.020(W) and 1760.140, are allowed as a
conditional use in the W 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 (CUP) application in accordance with the conditional use permit
.standards and criteria .cel forth in CPMC 17.76. Pcr the Applicant's 1,indings ("Applicant's
Findings" and the Planning Department Supplemental 1, indings ("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.
Conclusion 1: The Council concludes that the Planning Commission did not err in finding that
membership warehouses arc 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. Traffic Impacts. Traffic generated by Costco on a daily basis is substantially more than is
generated by the entire Rogue Valley Mall.
Finding 2: The Applicant submitted a lraffic impact analysis ("TIA ") into the record prepared by
Kittelson and Associates for the subject property. City staffreviewed the TIA and there is
testimony in the record as to the substance of TIA. No other traffic reports or analysis were
prepared or submitted into the record by traffic engineers or other traffic experts. 7estimony
from opponents was limited to opinions as to the amount of traffic that would be generated by the
subject application There was no other traffic analysis in the record to contradict the
Applicant's TIA, nor does the record contain any traffic analysis as to the amount of traffic at the
Rogue Palley Mall..
Conclusion 2: The Council conclude, there is not substantial evidence in the record to find that
traffic at the Rogue Valley 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 of membership warehouses as a conditional use in the M-1 zone as discussed
Page 2 of 11
in Finding l 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
Permit for Costco Wholesale based on the application's demonstrated compliance with the
standards and criteria for conditional use permits per CPMC 1776 as .set forth in the Applicant's
Findings and the Planning Department Supplemental Findings (See Resolution No_ 827 and
attachments thereto).
Conclusion 3. the 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 met.
4. Statement of Values. - "Your STATEMENT OF VALUES regarding gross th... stated that. "We
value planned growth that will retain our small town atmosphere. 'Phis 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 17.76.
Conclusion 4: 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 Council finds the Planning Commission did not err
applying the Standards and Criteria at CPMC 1776.
5. Accessory Use. —"One ofthe issues is that the zone that the store is to be located in is Industrial.
-Phe 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 Commissionfound that membership warehouses were adopted by the
City as conditional uses in 2009 as set forth in Finding 17.48.040(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 are permitted subject to the standards and criteria for 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 rine authorization per CPMC 17.48.020(W) and CPMC 17.60.140. See also
Planning Commission Resolution 764 and City Council Resolution 1217.
Page 3 of I 1
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 might just 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 le The Planning Commission's consideration of the Costco CUP to develop a
membership warehouse andfuel facility is based on the City's similar use authorization for
membership warehouses in the M zoning districtper Finding 17 48 040(A) in the Planning
Department Supplemental Findings and Finding I above_
Conclusion 6: Membership warehouse clubs, such as Costco Wholesale, are allowed in the M-1
district subject to the standards and criteria set forth in CPMC 17. 76, Conditional Use Permit
Not a Fit in the Zone. —"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 In this one.
They are not a complimentary service and supply provider that is allowed in this zone. A store of
this size and magnitude should not he 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 zone. With regard to trek, CPMC 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, slate 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;
Pegc 4 of I I
E. 7 hat any conditions required for approval a 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 traff-ic generated by the
proposed use,
3. Adjustments to oil -street parking requirements in accordance with any
unique characteristics of the proposed use,
4. Regulation of points of vehicular ingress and egress,
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 safely or general welfare 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. Seethe 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 of Central Point Public
Works Department, City of Medford OD07'and the.lackson County Roads. The Planning
Commission imposed conditions ofapproval pursuant to the TIA and comments from other
jurisdictions for traffic impact mitigation No expert testimony was received into the record
countering the 77A or agency recommendenion.s for traffic impact mitigations. (See Finding 2
addressing traffic generated by Costco compared to the Rogue Valley Mall)_ All other evidence
as to traffic was conjecture or speculation.
As demonstrated in Finding 17.76.040(C) 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 signs. the Planning
Commission found that the proposed project is typical of site development within the M -I 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(/3) in the record below are
sufficient to avoid adverse impacts to abutting properties or permitted uses thereof.
As demonstrated in finding 17.70 0400) in the record below, the Planning Commission
considered the issue of safety and found that there is sufficient evidence in the Applicant's
Page 5 of 11
findings to demonstrate, in conjunction with the building code and fire district regulations, that
the proposed use will comply with local, state andfederal 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_
COnClasion 7. The proposed membership warehouse and fuelfacility was evaluated against the
standards and criteria for conditional use permits and found to comply. There is substantial
evidence in the record for the Planning commission to find that the use is compatible with the
zone.
8. "Traffic Effects 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 I raneportation. 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 131. 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."
Finding R: Per the TIA, the proposed Costco Wholesale andfuel facility is expected to generate
10,670 new daily trips. 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 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 Table Rock Road and Morningside Street
.south of the project 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 Casten if holesale (See Table 1).

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

congestion on the freeway off ramps north and south and a loading on Pine Street all the way to
the intersection with I lamrick and Pine and Table Rock Road and Pine/Biddle Road."
Page 7 of I 1
Finding 10: The TIA 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 requiring financial
contribution far the applicant's proportional share of traffic mitigation to the intersection prior
to building permit issuance.
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 0D0'I
until 2023. There is no definitive evidence that the schedule has been modified. ']'here 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 alongable Rock Read are funded or that the
requisite imminent domain takings of additional land for widening and intersections have been
done."
Finding ll: 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 Kinelson & Associates, as well as comments received from affected agencies,
including the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Jackson County Roads, City of
Central Point Public Works Department, and City of Medford Evidence in the record addressing
traffic impacts and the timing of improvements is as follows:
- 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. Asconditioned, 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 No. I). Evidence in the record establishes
that the improvements are planned to be czpedited such that they will be constructed as close to
opening day of the subject development as possible:
a. The Revised Public Works Sialf Report dated January 5, 2016 states that, "Per ODOT,
construction will commence at the earliest possible date." (.See Traffic Impacts and
Page 8 of l l
Mitigation Item Vo 4)
b_ During staff's presentation of the January 5, 2016 Planning Commission Meeting, during
a discussion of tragic impacts and mitigation (26:05), staff slated that ODOT agreed to
expedite construction ofthe off -ramp improvements as close to opening day as possible.
Don Morehouse, ODOT Planner, concurred with the staffpresentation and slated that he
had nothingfurlher to add (Audio Recording_ at 126'15).
Conclusion 11: There is substantial evidence in the record to support the Planning Commission's
decision as to the feasibility and timing of traffic mitigation conditions.
12. Biddle Road and Airport Road Intersection. - "the intersection of Siddle Road and Airport
Road has not been Cully vetted. 'Phis 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 Biddle
Road exceeds the level of.service .standard for the City ofMedford Ina letter dated January 5,
2016, the City ofMedford requested a condition that requires the developer to pay a proportional
share toward afuture traffic signal at this intersection. The estimated project cost is 5450,000,
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 ofthe construction of'signalization improvements in an amount not to exceed
545,000, which shall be payable to the City of Medford 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 ofthe signalization
improvements per the City of Medford Comments dated January 5, 2016
13. Traffic Impacts not Easily Solved, if at all. - -1 he 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 ofliiddle 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 ofthe 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. - "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 ofthe store itself
by a factor offer. Estimates for the widening ofthe freeway overpass on Table Rock Road
Page 9 of 1 I
exceeds 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 docs not exist, but would be very high."
Finding 14. There is no evidence in the recordfrom affected agencies or traffic experts or
engineers to demonstrate that the Interstate 5 overpass on Table Rock Read warrants
replacement or that Table Rock Road improvements .south of'lnter5ave 5 are required, other than
required mitigation at the intersection of Table Rock Road and Morningside Street, which was
addressed See also Finding No. $ 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. Prcighl Route, I rafGe Conflicts. - "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."
Finding l5: Heavy vehicle impacts were evaluated in the TIA and no problems were identified
with the mix of light and heavy vehicles based an volume and LOSIVC ratios (See Synchro
Reports in the 77A Appendices). No other expert nolimony was presented as to the mix of vehicle
traffic.
Conclusion 15: There is substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to find
that the mix of light and heavy vehicles does not create problems that would warrant further
traffic mitigation or denial of this application.
16. Vehicle and Truck Accidents. - "Vehicle and truck accidents will undoubtedly increase and
serious injuries will occur when Coster's large number of senior drivers are forced to mix with
large truck traffic."
Finding l6: Heavy 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 774
Appendices) nor was there evidence in the record from experts as to the "large number of senior
drivers "
Conclusion 16: There is substantial evidence in the recordfor the Planning Commission to find
(raffic 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 I lighway 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."
Page 10 of 11
Finding 14: A crash analysis was conducted as part ofthe TIA at all study area intersections
(I!A Page 28) to document crash types, trends and severity. The TlAfound 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 T4: 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 saiety 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. This 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.

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 of the use with other permitted
uses. Upon appeal, the City Council affirmed the Planning Commissions similar use determination and
authorization ofinembership 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 CCP 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").
After the final decision, appeals were filed by L. Calvin Martin ("Martin Appeal" - Attachment "C -I") and David J.
Smith ("Smith Appeal" — Attachment D-1 ") 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 significate traffic; and
• The 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 arc 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 "D-2'
COUNCIL OPTIONS
In an appeal of aype III land use decision. the Council has four options:
I) 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 recti fy 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.
Smith 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 I',xhibit D-2 are draft Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law the Council may adopt
in its motion to affirm the Planning Commission.

ITEM (File No. 15022)
Consideration of 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 comer of Hamrick and '1'able 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 375 2W 12B, Tax Lots 213, 214, 215, and 216. Applicant:
Costco Wholesale; Agent: Steve Bullock, MC2.
SOURCE:
Stephanie Holley,
BACKGROUND
At this time Costco Wholesale ("Applicant") is requesting n Conditional Ilse Permit to construct n new
membership warehouse and fuel Facility. The 18.28 acre project site is located on four (4) lots within the Federal
Way Business Park Subdivision with frontage on Table Rock Road (Jackson County), llea rick Road (City of
Central Point) and Federal Way (City of Central Point). land east oFthe site is located in the City of Medford.
It's the Applicant's intent to relocate its existing operation on Crater Lake Highway to Central Point with a
scheduled opening date of Pall 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 (File
No. 15032) (Agenda Items VI, B and C).
General Project Description:
Costco proposes to construct a 161,992 square foot membership warehouse located on the southwest site
boundary north of the existing Fed Ex Distribution Facility (Attachment "A -Y). A total of 783 parking spaces
are 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 entrance 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 rucmbers from 10 a.m. to 9
Fiat. 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"). Fach island provides six (6) fuel dispensers and provides stacking for
10 cars. In total the fuel facility includes 24 fuel dispensers and provides stacking for 70 cars. A canopy will
cover the fuel dispensers (Attachment "A-13"). The fuel facility will be open to members from Gain to l Opm
daily. Depending on demand, fuel deliveries may occur multiple times per day.
ISSLES
The City has evaluated the proposed use and identified four (4) issues:
1. Traffic On opening day it is estimated that Costco 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 Traffic Impact
Analysis ('1'[A) based on input from 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'FIA 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], Items 1-4) and one (I)
intersection in 2020 (Table 1, Item 5). Additionally, impacts to the intersection of Table Rock Road and
Morningside Street were identified and mitigation recommended in a revised letter from the City of
Medford dated January 5, 2016 (Attachment "l-1").
It should be noted that one year after the scheduled date of opening for Costco, the County will begin
construction of the Table Rock Road project. The project will widen Table Rock Road between Biddle
and Airport Road to include four travel lanes, a center tum 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 infrasmanne 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 Works
Department Staff Report (Attachment "D").
Resolution: To assure timely completion of traffic mitigation measures relative to the day of opening for
the proposed use, staffis recommending:
a. NB 1-5 Off Ramp. Prior to building permit issuance, the applicant shall comply with the Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODO1) requirement to contribute toward the constnmtion of dual

It should be noted that one year after the scheduled date of opening for Costco, the County will begin
construction of the Table Rock Road project. The project will widen Table Rock Road between Biddle
and Airport Road to include four travel lanes, a center tum 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 infrasmanne 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 Works
Department Staff Report (Attachment "D").
Resolution: To assure timely completion of traffic mitigation measures relative to the day of opening for
the proposed use, staffis recommending:
a. NB 1-5 Off Ramp. Prior to building permit issuance, the applicant shall comply with the Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODO1) requirement to contribute toward the constnmtion of dual
Page 2 of 5
right tum lanes from the off -ramp to East fine Street (LAMP Project No. 9). The estimated
project cost is $1.3M. Project cost sharing shall be as follows:
ODOT:
$9ag0oa
Costco:
$377,000 (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_
It. Table Rock Road and Hamrick Road. Prior to certificate of occupancy, the applicant will be
required to provide the following temporary improvements on Table Rock Road per Jackson
County Roads:
i. Construct median islands in front of the access drives on'I able Rock Road to limit
movements to right-in/right-out; and,
ii. Construct a center left Nm lane and refuge within the existing Table Rock Road right-of-
way at Hamrick Road to ease left tum delays_
e. Table Rock Road at Airport Road. Per Jackson County Roads, no mitigation measures are
recommended since operational deficiencies will be resolved upon completion of the Table Rook
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 theday of opening. Per the Revised
City of Medford letter dated January 5, 2016 (Attachment "i-1"), the applicant will be required to
contribute toward construction of a signal at the intersection (See Condition No. 3).
e. 'fabl_e Rock Road at Momineside Street. Per the Revised City of Medford staff report dated
January 5, 2016 (Attachment "L-1"), the applicant shall be required to contribute toward
construction of a left Nm lane at the intersection of Table Rack Road and Morningside Street
(Condition No. 4).
2. Parking. The applicant's parking plan proposes 793 parking spaces for warehouse members. The
maximum parking spaces allowed based on the allocation of uses is 699 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 Castro Wholesale operations in Oregon
(.Attachment "C").
Resolution: The applicant's parking demand analysis recommends a minimum parking ratio of 4.5 i
parking spaces per 1,000 s.f. of Gross Floor Area (GFA) to maintain a 90% utilization rate. According
the Institute of Traffic Engineers (11 E) 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. Cmnco's parking plan provides slightly more puking than the minimum recommendation to
accommodate typical peak periods as well as provide additional spaces for seasonal peaks. Staff
Page 3 of 5
recommends 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 promised 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 use 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) tots within the Federal Way Business Park
Subdivision. Based on staffs evaluation of the lot dimensions and site plan, the proposed warehouse
occupies three (3) of the existing lots. "I'he applicant has indicated it is their intent to consolidate the lots.
Resolution: As a condition of approval, the lot consolidation must be completed prior to building permit
issuance

RE I Land Use Applications for a near Camillo Warehouse in Central Paint OR
Project Description
Proposal: Costco is considering buying some property on the southwest Corner of the
Table Rack Rd and Hamrick Rd Intersection that Is 18.28 acres In size. Their desire and
intent would be to build a new Coated Warehouse (with a footprint of approximately
151,992 sq. ft.) and • Fuel Feclllry (4 islands) together with all required parking and
landscaping. In this case, the parking area will accommodate 783 parking stalls. Currently
the subject property is undeveloped Industrial land. Surrounding the property Is a and of
developed and undeveloped industrial land with distribution and manufacturing facilities. T
Colica Building R Sib Design; With over 30 years of building membership warehouse.
Coatco has 686 warehouses worldwide. This exp hence has allowed Costco to develop a
carefully thought out program for constructing now facilities. This program includes: the
layout of the warehouse floor plan that most effectively allows for the stocking and
merchandising of products; the use of materials that are sustainable, long-lasting and
energy efficient; the layout of the site in a manner that provides for their parking and
circulation need.; the Improvements to adjacent public Infrastructure to minimize and
mitigate for any impacts they may create; the development of an attractive, functional
facility that the entire community views as an asset. The final design solution for each of
Coated's 600- lilies follows this program waiting in a unique solution that is tallow to
the individual site, Its environment and the community It is located in.
Coatco Operation Generally Costco'. warehouses am open to the public from 10am-
9pm. On the weekends they close s little earlier (5 or S pm). To avoid conflicts between
their members and stocking the warehouse, deliveries are typically received between 3am
and Ncon. This minimizes potential conflicts between the large delivery trucks and
Coeco'. members.
The gas station is typically open from Sam - 10pm. Fuel dellverlea can happen multiple
time per day depending upon the demand.

Costco Wholesale is proposing to develop a new warehouse and fuel station located station located In
the southwest quadrant of the Table Rock Road/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
following 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 Conco warehouse and a 24
fueling position Canon Gasoline fuel nation. This new Central Point Costco 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 arc zoned as M-1
(Industrial) which allows the development of the Costco warehouse and fuel nation with a
conditional use permit (no land use or roning 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 of the 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 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 trdRc patterns and major trip
origin, and destinations within the studyarea 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.mpeak
hour and weekend midday peak hour.
pRlrmab[u[Ivtq M[.
unwrrm•rcm•o cv..aP„ i.nr
am.m•s,,,,i,••ry
• Based on recent traffic taunts 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 Rod Road/Airport Road Intersection
during weekday p.m. peak.
o The Table Rock Road/Airport Road Intersection is stop controlled in the westbound
direction. Under existing conditions In the weekday p.m. peak hour, there is high
delay forthe 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.
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 fablity crashes.
o Four study Intersections were found to be In the 90th percentile and in compliance
0DOT's SP15:1-S Sa Ramps/E Pine Street, Table Rock Rood/W Was Road, OR 62
(Crater Lake Ilighway)/W Was Road, and Table Rock Road/OR 99.
Build Year 2036 Analysis
• The transportation impact analysis evaluated two different future yearscenarioa: year 2036,
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-capac@y, ratios during the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak
hours except for the Table Rock Road/Alrport 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-ta-capacity ratio of greater than
0.95 In the build year (2016) background conditions (with no traffic from the
proposed Costco development).
• The bulld-year )2016) total tralflc analysis (with Inclusion of the project traf l 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 NB Ramps & East Pine Street exceeds COOT standards (lane group v/c ratio S
0.851 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 Identified in the Final Draft [AMP: Exit 33 study
which ails 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

Central Point are currently in discussions to determine COstCn'a 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 are scheduled in year 2017 as part
of Table Rock Road widening and a signal will be 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 Point are
currently in discussions to determine an appropriate contribution to this
Improvement as mitigation in the interim far 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-gernrated 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 Anolysls
• 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 -tum
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 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 afterrrtives 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 Rock Road) with
No Table Rock Road Improvements (as summarised above)
o Build Year (2016( Total Traffic Conditions with Temporary Table Rock Road
Improvements (i.e.,temporary wldening of Table Rock Road along the site Nonage
to provides center left -turn lane until the ultimate widening project is constructed)

o gulid-Year (2016) Total Traffic Conditions with Restricted Right-In/Right-Out Site
Accesses (restrict Table Rock Road accessto rlght-in/right out only until the ultimate
widening project is constructed)
e The access alternatives 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 Rack 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 fmntageto provide atemporary center
turn lane will allow all Table Rock Road accesses 10 operate acceptably as full
movements until the ultimate Table Rock Road widening improvements are
constructed in 2017.
c 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-capachy
ratios. However, It will add additional left -tum movements at the Table Rock
Road/Hamrick Road intersection thus resulting in cver�ci p ldty 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 left -turn.
o Once the ultimate Table Rock Road widening Improvement is constructed in 2017,
all site accesses to Table Rock Road will operate a good levels of service (LOS C or
better) and volume -to -capacity ratios (v/r--0.21 or better) during the peak hour
periods assuming they are full access movements.
• From a safety perspective, a predictive safety analysis bund that:
o Providing full movement accesses to Table Rock 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 Rtemporary widening was provided In the interim for a two-way left -tum lane along
the site's frontage, the probability would lower to 0.16 crashes per year (about a
30% decrease In probability).
o The safety predlctive 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 acceues at both locations.

• The future year (2030) background conditlons 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 O.SS
• 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 Identified 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 scenario.
Because ofthe planned roadway improvements alone 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 justKcation 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 -1t be provided in order to supply enough
parking to meet Costco speck demands.
• Applying the demonstrated minimum parking supply of 4,71 spaces/1,1100 sq -ft to the
proposed Central Paint Costco development equates to a minimum recommended parking
supply of 753 spaces.
• This Indicates that the proposed parking supply of 782 is slightly higher thin 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.

INTRODUCTION
Klttelson & Associates, Inc. (KAI) has conducted a Transportation Impact Study ITIS) 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, methodology, 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 an
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 Rack Road/Hamrick Road Intersection. The development plan
for the 18-acm site includes a 160,000 square -foot Costco 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 Paint Costco will replace the existing Medford
Costco located at 3639 Crater cake Hwy in Medford, Oregon. The project site plan with access
driveways to each of the bordering roadways Is 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 Rack 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 (industrial) and M-2 (Industrial General) as referenced in Central
Point Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2008-7030 (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 Castro sites was reviewed to determine a representative
trip generation estimate for the development. eased on a 160,000 square foot warehouse and a 24 -
position gasoline facility, the proposed warehouse and fuel statfon is estimated to generate 10,570 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.

EXISTING CONDMONS
The existing conditions analysis identifies the current site conditions and operational and geometric
characteristics of the roadways within the study area. These conditions will he compared with build -
year (2016) and future year (2030) cord itlons later In this report.
KAI staff visited and inventoried the proposed Central Point Costco development site and surrounding
study arca in May 2015. At that time, KAI collected information regarding site conditions, adjacent land
uses, and transportation facilities in the study area In addition, existing traffic counts at the study
Intersections were collected in May and July 1015.
SITE CONDITIONS AND ADJACENT LAND USES
The proposed site Is located roughly one mile southeast of the Interstate 5 (1-5) & Pine Street
interchange In Central Point, Oregon. The land uses in the vicinity of the she arc light industrial to the
immediately west and south of the site, general industrial immediately north of the site and tourist and
office professional, as well as low and medium density residential, north of E Pine Street/Biddle Road.
The parcels of land that in which the proposed Costco would occupy are zoned as M-1 (Industrial). The
M-1 zoning designation allows the development of the Costco warehouse and fuel station with a
conditional use permit. No land use or zoning changes are required for the Costco warehouse and gas
station at the proposed site.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES

paratransh 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 -bus
routes 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 partmiship with
Jackson County and ODOT. The City of Central Point's 2030 Transportation System Plan (Reference 2)
offers a comprehensive assessment of long-term transportation needs within Central Point. In addition,
ODOT recently completed an Interchange Area Management Plan fli for the I-S/Eost Pine Street
Interchange (Reference 31. 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 on the analysis of study Intersections within the site vicinity of the proposed Central Point
Costco site. Based an knowledge of the transportation network within the site's vlclnfty and a previous
coordination meeting with the City, County and OOOT, the following 12 study Intersections were
Identified for inclusion In this report:

Data collection at these twelve intersections Included turning movement counts collected during
typical weekday (Tuesday through Thursday) p.m. peak period (4:00 p.m. — 7A0 p.m.), and weekend
midday (12:00 p.m. — 3:00 p.m.) peak period. In addition, existing lane geometry was documented,
inciuding turn packet lengths, as well as pedestrian and bicycle facilities and the presence of transit and
transit amenities. For signalised 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
Intersections,
In addition to analyzing the 12 study Intersections, the proposed site plan includes six new driveways to
accessthe site, each of which will be analyzed in accordance to the roadveyjurisdictlon R is located. As
shown In Figure 1, the six proposed site access Include:
• Northern full -•cress driveway located on Federal Way;
• Southern full -access driveway located an Federal Way;
• Eastern Hamrick Road driveway right-In/right-out arms;
• Western Hamrick Road driveway full -access (full access);
• Northern full -access on Able Rock Road; and
• Southern full -access on Table Rock 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
The Operating standards of four jurlsdictions 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 Paint 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 1000 Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM 2000) (Reference 4) as required by the Clry of Central Point's 2030 Tmnsportotion System
Plan. HCM 1000 define, LOS as a quality measure describing operational conditions within a traffic
stream, generally in terms such as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, trafllc 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
good operations and law 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 CWs policies require intersections to operate at LOS O or better. A
description of level of service and its criteria Is presented In Appendix -1I

Jackson County Operating Standards
The acceptable motor vehicle performance standard for signalized and unsignalized 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 0.85 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 be
assessed assuming a V/C 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 0.95 as identified in the ODOT OHP Policy IF Revisions
(Reference 61. For signalized Intersections on arterial roads under OOOTJurisdictlon, the V/C ratio must
be no greater than 0.95. At intersections where one or more approaches 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
thin ane approach Include OR 99/7able Rock Road and OR fit (Crater Wke Nwy)/East Villas Road
intersections. Rased 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 Map (Reference 71 was used to
determine the jurisdiction of each study intersection.

EXISTING PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Existing peak hour traffic operations were analyzed for a typical weekday (Tuesday — Thursday) P.M.
peak period (4:00 p.m. to TOO p.m.) and a weekend midday (12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.) peak period.
Existing turning movement counts collected in May and July 2015 were used in determining the existing
operating conditions at each of the study intersections per jurisdictional standards.
Figure 4 provides the imersectlon turning movement counts and summarizes the Intersection
operational results for the existing weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hour traffic conditlum. As
shown in Figure 4 and in Table 4, all of the study Intersections operate at acceptable operating
standards during the existing conditions weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours except for the
Table Rock Road/Airport Road intersection during weekday p.m. peak. The Table Rock Road/Airport
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 L05 F. Appendix "C" Includes the traffic operation worksheets for the existing traffic conditions
scenarios.

SAFETY HISTORY ANALYSIS
Crash data ova Mable for the most recent five years (2009 — 2013) at all of the study Intersections was
provided by ROOT. Crash data was analyzed to document recent crash types and severity at study
intersections and identify crash trends if applicable. In addition, study intersections were screened for
compliance with ODOT's Safety Priority Index System (SPIS) and 90N percentile rates using the HCM
prediction model. There were no reported crashes at the two of the study Intersections:
• Federal Way & Hamrick Road
• Table Rock Road & Hamrick Road
In total, there were 192 crashes between all of the study Intersections within the five year study period.
Table 5 provides the reported crash type and severity at each of the study intersections. Appendix "D"

TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS
The transportation impact analysis identifies how the study area's transportation system will operate
under build -year (2016) and future year (2030) conditions without and with the proposed Costco
development in place. 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 -generated trips were estimated for build -out ofthe 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 evaluated;
• Buildyear(2016) and future year (2030) conditions were analyzed with the addition of site -
generated traffic at each of the study intersections and site -access points during the
weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours;
• Operational and safety assessments were completed at each of the proposed site accesses
and the intersection of Table 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 Print's 2030 Transportation System Plan, Final Draft IAMP: 1-5 Exit
33, and Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization's 2009 - 2034 Regional Transportation Plan
(Reference g).
Under the direction of the City of Central Point and OOOT, KAI has assumed the planned roadway
improvements listed in the Final Oraft IAMP: 1.5 Exit 33 based an the year of estimated completion, as
well as all Tier 1 improvements (within the site's vicinity) listed in the City of Central Paint'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 - 2017) or long-term (2018 - 2030) Improvements.

Final Draft TAMP: 1-5 Exit 33 Planned Improvements
P,o,MIl.G1I5
araser:oss
The Oregon Department of Transportation and City of Central Point have identified and prioritized
roadway improvements at and around the I-5/East Pine Street interchange. 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 Southbaund On -Ramp: The description of the planned project includes widening East
Pine Street beginning at the west end 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 lane. 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) scenarios 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 lana at the northbound approach to
East Pine Street. The second turn lane world provide an additional 350 feet of storage for to
manage Queuing on the off -ramp that cannot be managed with igrul timing. The estimated
cost of the project is $1.3 million and has been designated as low to medium priority,
therefore this project will be included the future year (2030) scenarios of this TIA.
• East Pine Street at Hamrick Road: The study verifies and calls for the implementation of
Central Point TSP Tler I Project #216, which widens the west and north approaches to add a
dual left -turn lane and mcand 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 I short term (2009 — 2012) projects that occurred an 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 Rack 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 Table Roc* Road/sNmrick
Rand has been assumed In fhb otwlyeh.
• 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 eastbound left -turn lane
and second receiving lane. The project also includes restriping the northbound approach to
Include dual left -turns and a single through -shared -right turn Is", 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) scenarios.

• Tier I Project a 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.
• Tier I Project is 219 —Table Rack Road & West Vitas 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 he 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 Projects 821, Table Rack Road is schedule to be widened from a
two lane crass section to four lanes and a continuous center turn lane, 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 be widened to a three lane cross section with bike lanes and
sidewalks on both sides of the roadway continuing to the 1-5 overpass. Currently, this
project is scheduled to he constructed in 2017. The project will also include the signalization
ofthe Table Rock Road/Alrport Road intersection.
Federal Way Extension: Federal Way is currently only accessible via Hamrick Road and
terminates just south of the FedEx Ground height facility entrance. The City of Cenral Point
Transportation System Plan shows the potential for a future connection of Federal Way to
tie into the future signalized intersection it Table Rock Road/Airport Road. While the timing
of the Federal Way connection has not been determined, the signalization the Table Rock
Road/Airport Road Intersection will occur in 1017 with completion of the Table Rock Road
widening. The extension of Federal Waywill 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 project, which is a multimodal solution that will
increase capacity and Improve safety along the corridor, a critical business connection for
freight, tourism and commuters (Reference 9). The 4.5 mile project will run on the east side
of the Medford Airport, parallel to Crater lake Highway, beginning at Whittle Avenue
bypassing Commerce Drive, Coker Butte Road and Vilas Road before connecting back with
OR 62 just north of Carey Road. The project is projected to begin construction In late fall
2016. For the purpose of this study, KAI has Incorporated the charge 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 )20161 and future year

(2030) background scenarios as northbound and southbound traffic shifts to the OR62
Expressway upon completion.
PLANNED IN -PROCESS DEVELOPMENTS
In -process development plans were obtained from the City of Central Point. The in -process
develapments 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 Gebhard 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 Traffic Impact Analysis (Reference 30).
BUILD -YEAR (2016) BACKGROUND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
The build -year (2016) background scenario analyzed haw the study area's transportation system will
operate without the site -generated traffic In year 2016. Build -year background traffic conditions were
analyzed for both the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours.
Background Growth Pates
Traffic growth within the study area is expected to fallowthe trends adopted In the Final Draft IAMP: I-
5 Exit 33. The growth described in the TAMP 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 travel demand model were provided by 000T.
After review of the study area'3 model and previous studies a 2.0% annual growth rate was determined
and agreed upon to he applied to existing turning movement counts collected at the study
Intersections.
Traffic Volumes
The traffic volumes developed for the build -year (2016) 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 on the jurisdiction In which the study intersection is located.

Figure 5 presents the build -year (2016( background traffic volumes and operations results at each of
the study intersections. As under existing conditions, the results of the build -year background traffic
analysis indicate that all of the study intersections arc forecast to operate at acceptable levels of seMce
and volume -to -capacity ratios during the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours except for the
Table Rack Road/Airport Road intersection during weekday p.m. peak hour.
The Table Rock Road/Airport Road intersection is stop controlled in the westbound direction. 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 (1016) background conditions (with no
traffic from the proposed Costco development).

COSTCO TRIP GENERATION DATABASE
For the past 15 years, KAI has maintained a database of traffic data and travel characteristics for Costco
Wholesale. The database contains transportation information such as trip rates, this type percentages,
and parking demand for Costco locations In the United States, as well as Canada and Mexico. A large
portion 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 Paint Costco
development, it was agreed that the Costco database information he used In this TIS since it provides
use -specific data that most accurately represents the anticipated traffic characteristics 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 cha racterustics of Costco customer travel
that exists due to membership requirements and the nature of Costco sales. Them unique elements
apply to the trip generation and distribution for Costco warehouses, Costco Gasoline fuel stations, and
the interaction of trips between the two.
COSTCO TRIP GENERATION CHARACTERISTICS
The date collected at existing Costco developments in Oregon and Washington indicates the trip
generation characteristics summarized In Table 7Including total trip ends as well as pass -0y 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 site and In distance from I -S,
OR 62 (Crater lake Highway) and other major facilities, h 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 thou found at most Castro locations. Surveys at existing Costco
sites typlally demonstrate pass -by rates in the range of 30-35% 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%.

As shown in Table 7, the proposed Costco development is estimated to generate a total of
approximately 10,670 net new trips on a dally basis, 90C 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.
Pass -by Trips
A key trip characteristic considered was that of pas by trip capture. Pass -by trips represent trips that
are currently traveling on the surrounding street network for some other primary purpose (such as a
trip from home W work) and stop into the site en route during their normal travel. As such, pass -by
trips do not result In a net increase in traffic an the surrounding transportation system and, typically,
their only effect occurs at the site driveways where they become turning movements. Again, based an
existing traffic volumes on Table Rack Road and Hamrick Road, the pens -by trip reduction has been
reduced to a maximum of 15% of existing weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hour volumes along
these 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 generrtion analysis.
TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND TRIP ASSIGNMENT
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 fit (Crater Lake Highway) in Medford,
Oregon, as well as from the existing traffic patterns and major trip origins and destinations within the
study area. Localized trip routing through the study intersections was assessed based on the land use,
traffic counts completed at the study intersections, and general patterns in the site vicinity.
Additionally, ODOT provided KAI with a base year (2006) and future year (2038) regional travel demand
model, as well as a select zone analysts fur dw traffic analysis zone that the site will occupy. The models
and select zone analysis verified the trip distribution patterns and site -generated trip assignment for
the proposed Costco warehouse and fueling station.
Figure 6 illustrates the trip distribution throughout the she's vicinity. Baud on the trip distribution
throughout the study area, Figure 7 and Figure 8 present the site -generated turning movement counts
at each of the study Intersections and site accesses for the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak
hours to and from the proposed Costco slte. Appendix "F" Includes the boar year (2006) and future year
(2038) regional travel demand models, as well as the nlect zone analph provided by OOOT.

BUILD -YEAR (2016) TOTAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
The hulld-year (2016) total traffic scenario analyzed how the study area's transportation system will
operate with the site -generated traffic of the proposed Costco development. Any impacts due to site -
generated traffic will be documented and mitigations will he identified at the impacted study
Interjections.
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) totaltoffc conditions shown in Figure 9.
Intersection Operations
Figure 9 also summarizes the intersection operations analysis far the build -year (2016) total traffic
scenario. The build -year (2016; total traffic scenario Identified two additional Intersections as not
meeting operational standards compared to those not previously Identified in the buildyear(2016)
background scenario.
Table 6 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 Ng Ramps i East Pine Street exceeds ODOT standards (lane group v/c ratio 10.85) with
the northbound right -turn lane group's v/c ratio of 0.87 during the weekday p.m. peak hour.
Table Rock Road 6 Airport Rood, as under existing and 2016 background conditions,
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 Read, 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 Road f 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. While no site -generated traffic is expected to be coming from the
westbound approach, the delay increases because of the amount of vehicles making the
northbound left at the umlgnaliaad intersection. Even with the site generated traffic, the
intersection Is operating at a very low volume -to -opacity ratio of 0.451n the weekday p.m.
peak hour and 0.14 m the weekday midday peak hour.

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 Rock Road) are proposed on the north side of the site with
access to and from Hamrick Road. Finally, there are two full accesses proposed on along Table Rock
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. Figure 10 also illustrates the build -year
(2016) total traffic conditions at each of the proposed site access during the weekday p.m. and
weekend midday peak hour. Appendix °G' contains the buildyear(20161 total traffic operation
worksheets.

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 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 operational standard with a volume -to -opacity
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 sufficient gaps In the traffic flow along Table Rock Road
to complete the turn. Again, this Is a near-term scenario for the first year of opening of the Costco
development befare the Table Rock Road widening improvements are constructed in 2017.

BUILD -YEAR (2016) MITIGATIONS
This section provides a discuss In non mitigations for the impacted intersections under build year (2016)
total traffic conditions. As outlined above, the build year (1036) 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 Bock Road/Airport
Road intersections. Mitigations for both these locations have already been identified through previous
planning efforts by the City of Central Point, Jackson County, and ODOT. These are discussed below.
Appeadix'H" contains the build-yeor (2016) mitigated traffic operation worksheets for the intersections
outlined below.
1-5 NS Ramp 6 East Pine Street M111401an
5Re-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 ODOPs standard of a
maximum v/c of 0.85 for each lane groups at a ramp interchange. The need far 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 ofthe 1-5 northbound off -ramp to add a second right -turn lane at the
northbound approach to East Pine StreetThesecond turn lane would provide an additions 1350 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 tnffic scenario during the p.m. peak hour with the proposed
improvements stated in the Final Draft TAMP: Exit 33.
COOT 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.
Table Rork Road 6 Airport Road Intersertlrla
Improvements to the Table Rock Road/Airport Road intersection are scheduled in year 2017 is part of
Table Rock 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 amumptians were based on the project description of Project# 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 signlBcantly during
both the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hour. Based on a 60 second cycle length
the Intersection operates at 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.

• 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 seconds 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 12016) analysis showed that all of the site accesses will be ableto operate as
proposed upon site opening before the Table Rock Road Improvements are constructed, an evaluation
of access alternatives for Table Rack Road was also completed to compare how temporary
Improvements would Impact the access operations In the imerim until the Table Rock Road widening Is
completed in 2017. The accessacenarlos compared were:
• Build Year (2016) Total Traffic Conditions (i.e., Full Accessto Table Rock Road) with Notable
Rock Road Improvements as summarized above)
• Build -Year (2016) Total Traffic Canditlons with Temporary Table Rock Road Improvements
(i.e., temporary widening of Table Rack Road along the site frontage to provide a center left -
turn lane until the uhimate widening project is constructed)
• Build -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)
Operational Comparison
Table 10 compares the access operational results for these three scenarios. Also Included for
comparison are the operational results for the Table Rack Road/Hamrick Road intersection which does
change depending an how the site's Table Rock Road accesses are configured.

The following mnciwions can he drawn from the comparison in Table 10:
• Assuming full movement access and no improvements to Table Rock Road, the eastbound left -

standard with a volume -to -capacity ratio of 0.5; during the critical time period.
• providing temporary widening along the site frontage to provide a temporary center turn lane
will allow all Table Rock Road accesses to operate acceptably as full movements until the
ultimate Table Rock Road widening Improvements are constructed in 1017.
• Restricting the site's Table Rock Road accesses to right-in/right-aut only will allow those
accesses to operate at acceptable levels of service and volume40-capacity ratios. 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 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 tuming left from Hamrick to
make a two stage gap acceptance maneuver for the left -turn (will Improve operations to LOS E
and v/o0.58 in the weekday p.m. peak hour and LOS F and v/c=0.80 in the weekend midday
peak hour.

As requested by the City of Central Point, the operations of the site accesses to Table Rack Road in the
year 2017 once the Table Rack Road widening improvements are constructed were also evaluated.
These were evaluated to compare operations with the accesses as full movement accesses and as right-
In/right-out only accesses. Table 11 summarizes the operations of the Table Rock Road site accesses in
the year 2017 once the Table Rock Road Improvements are In place.

The following conclusions can be drawn from the comparison in Table 11:
• Once the ultimate Table Rock Road widening improvement is constructed In 2017, all site
accesses to Table Rack Road will operate a good levels of service (LOS C or better] and
volume-to-apschy ratios (v/x0.21 or better) during the peak hour periods assuming they
are full access movements
• The accesses will also operate acceptably as right-in/right-out only accesses once the
ultimate Table Rack Road improvements are constructed, however, restricting those access
will add additional left -turn movements at the Table Rock Road/Hamrick Road intersection.
The additional left -turn demand will cause the critical eastbound left -turn movement to go
from LOS C and v/c = 0.18 to LOS D and vis = 0.54 In the weekday p.m. peak hour and LOS B
and v/c = 021 to LOS F and v/c = 0.75 in the weekend midday peak hour.
Safely Comparison
In addition to the access operations comparison outlined above, the predicted safety performance of
the accesses under the various alternatives was reviewed. A safety analysis was performed for the
Table Rack Road accesses using the predictive crash methodology from Chapter 12 of the Highway
Safety Manual, with adjusted crash calibration factors from ODOT's, Calibrating the Highway Safety
Manual Predictive Methods for Oregon Highways. The accesses were evaluated as unsignalbed
Intersections (since no specific safety predictive functions are provided for accesses). The analysis
looked at five scenarios:

In order to predict crashes at right-in/right-out intersections, head-on collisions and angle crashes were
omitted from the prediction methodology to represent RIRO driveway.

Interpretation of the predictive safety results is complex. These are not absolute numbers and Instead
represent more of the probability for crashes to occur. In addition, the agencies must weigh the results
of the safety predictive results with those of the traffic operational results as there are tradeoffs, to
each.

Providing full movement accesses to Table Rock Road in the near-term with its current two lane
configuration shows the probability for 1.2 crashes per year to occur comhined at the two access
points. If these were restricted to rlght-in/right-nut 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
lowerto 0.76 crashes peryear )about a 3016 decrease In probability)
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 (2030) background scenario analyzed how the study area's transportation system will
operate without the site -generated traffic in year 2030, representing a 15 year long-term future
condition at the study Intersections. Future yar traffic conditions were analyzed 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 u the
Table Rack Road widening and the Table Rock Road/Airport Road inlersectlon signal. Appendix "I"
contains the future year (7030) background traffic operation worksheets for the intersections outlined
below.
Traffic Volumes
The 2030 background traffic volumes reflect existing traffic taunts plus 15 years of annual background
grawth and In -process development traffic. Volumes along and accessing to and from OR 62 (Crater
Lake Highway) were not grown by the annual growth rate due to the expected completlan 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 (2006) volumes. The 2030 background
conditions traffic volumes are summarized in Figure 11.

FUTURE YEAR (2030) TOTAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
The future year (2030) total traffic scenarlo analyzed how the study area's transportatlan system will
operate with Costco's site -generated trips in year 2030, representing a 15 year future condition with
the addition of sftegenerated traffic at each of the study intersections. Future year traffic conditions
were analyzed for both the weekday p.m. and weekend midday peak hours. The future year 12030)
total scenario also includes the planned roadway improvements and land use developments previously
mentioned. Appendix J" contains the future year (2030) total traffic operation worksheets for the
intersections outlined below.
Traffic Volumes
Traffic volumes for the future year (2030) total traffic scenarlo reflect the 2030 background scenario
volumes plus the addition of site generated traffic. The future year 2030 total traffic volumes are
summarized In Figure 12 for the offsite Rudy intersections.
Intersection Operations
The Intersection operations for the 2030 total traffic scenario are also summarized in Figure 12 and in
Table 14. As can be seen from the figure and table, the future year (2030) total scenarlo determined
that site -generated trips did not impact any study intersections not previously identified in the future
year (2030) background scenario. As in the 2030 background scenario, the Hamrick Road/Fait Pine
Street Intersection operates with a v/c ratio of a1.0 during the weekday p.m, peak hour and the critical
movement at the Biddle Road/Airport Road operates at LOS F during the weekday p.m. peak hour.

FUTURE YEAR (2030) MITIGATIONS
This section includes the mitigations to the Intersections identified as not meeting operational
standards In the year 2030. As outlined previously, there are two locations found to not meet standards
in the year 2030 background conditions. The additional of she 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:
• Hamrick Road & East Pine
E Biddle Road & Airport Road
The mitigated result for each impacted intersection is outlined below. Appendix *K" Contains the future
year (2030) mitigated traffic operation worksheets for the intersections outiinedbelow.
tkmrfck Road A East Pine Street Mitigations
The Intersection of Hamrick Road/East Pine Street experiences a heavy volume of vehicles making a
southbound right -turn at the intersection, with a vfc ratio for that movement of above 1.0 during the
p.m. peak hour of the future year (2030) background traffic conditions. There 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 right -turn lane would improve intersection operations to LOS
C with an overall v/c ratio of 0.76 and average delay of 25.2 seconds per vehicle. 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.

This Intersection operates at LOS F during troth the 2030 background and 2030 total traffic conditions.
The project is not adding any traffic to the critical westbound approach. There are no knows pians for
improvements at this location by the City of Medford but the head 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 see stated In Table
17,64.026. 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 -het 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 670 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 bythe applicant as part ufthe site plan and architectural
review. The parking demand analysis shall demonstrate and documents justlflcetlon for the proposed
Increase.
Parking Demand Analysis
The proposed site plan as illustrated in Figure 1 provides a total of 782 parking skates which is 30%
more spaces then the maximum allowed bund on Central Point's Munlcipal Code. Based on the nature
of Costco sales and operations, 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 Paint Is to build on a site that can
provide sufficient parking supply.
Table 16 provides a summary of the documented parking supply and demand at existing Costco
warehouses in Oregon (including the current Medford location).

a„rmr vomrcmrm o�eapm."e vgearxas
r,w.rortono�Mw�rn�arnx amx.�oss
Table 16. Typical Peak Parking Demand at 00rar Corteo WerM sorsa In Oregon
As shown in Table 16, 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 Increases in illegal Parking and repeating circulation occur beyond
this level. Given this guidance, our recommendation is to provide sufficient parking to maintain a
utilization of below 90% during the typical peak periods. Table 16 shawl that, Weed 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 spaces/1,000 sq-tt.
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 supply as summarized In Table
17.
table 17. Central Point Coateu Racammended Parking Supply
The table shows that a minimum of 753 parking spaces should be supplied in order to provide sufficient
capacity for the likely parking demand on site. This indicates that the proposed parking supply of 7821s
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 City's Municipal Code. For land uses providing a total number of parking spaces between 501 and
1,000, which applies the proposed Central Point Costco site, 2% of total 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.

CONCLUSIONS & FINDINGS
ht 2.5
The analysis and evaluation completed for the Central Point Costco development resulted In the
fallowing 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 Paint,
Oregon.
o The development plan includes a 160,000 square -foot Costco warehouse and a 24
fueling position Costco Gasoline fuel station. This new Central Point Costco will
replace the existing Medford Costco located at 3639 Crater lake Hwy in Medford,
Oregon.
The parcels of land that in which the proposed Castro 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 charges are required).
In order to best evaluate the anticipated transportation characteristics of the proposed
Central Point Costco development, it was agreed that the Costco-specrflc data be used to
most accurately represent the anticipated traffic characteristics of the unique development
type.
• The proposed Costco development is estimated to generate a total of approximately 10,670
net nawtrips on a daily basis, 900 net new trip ends during the weekday p.m. peak hourand
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 and destinations within the study area and the regional travel demand model.
Existing Conditions
The study evaluated 12 off site Intersections In addltlon to site access points.
• The study evaluated two time periods for each evaluation scenario: weekday p.m. peak
hour and weekend midday peak hour.
• Based on recent tri fgc 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 Ro4d/Airport Road intersection
during weekday p.m. peak.

o The Table Rack Road/Airport Road intersection is stop controlled in the westbound
direction. Under existing conditions In the weekday p.m. peak hour, there is hlgh
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.
o Turning movement and rear -end crashes were the most common crash type at the
Intersections, accounting for approximately 62% of all crashes.
o There were no fatality crashes.
o Four study intersections were found to be In the 90th percentile and in compliance
OOOT's SPIS: I -S SR Ramps/E Pine Street, Table Rock Road/iii Was Road, OR fit
(Crater Lake Highway)/W Was Road, and Table Rock Road/OR 99.
Mdtd Year 5016 Analysis
• The transportation lm pact analysis eval uated two clifenent 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 (wRhout inclusion of the project traffic)
found that all of the study Intersections are forecost 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 P. 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 Costco development).
• The build-year(2016) total traffic analysis (with inclusion of the 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:
0 1-5 Ng Ramps 6 East Pine Street exceeds OOOT standards (lane group v/c ratio s
0.851 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 opacity for this northbound right -
tum movement has been previously identified In the Final Draft IAMP: Exit 33 study
which cells for the widening of the I-5 northbound off -ramp to add a second right -
turn lane at the northbound approach to East Pine Street. COOT 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 she
generated trip Impacts.

c Table Rack 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 Rack Road/Airport Road Intersection are scheduled in year 2017 as part
of Table Rock Road widening and a signal will he added to the intersection. This
Intersection b in existing deficiency; however, given that this improvement is not
currently scheduled until 2017, Jackson County and the City of Central Point are
currently in discusslons 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 critial 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 014 in the weekday midday peak hour.
Site Access Anatysd
• In the build year 2016 scenario, all site access intersections are projected to operate at
acceptable level"f-service and volume -to -opacity ratios during both the weekday p.m.
and weekend midday peak hours, with the exception of the Table Rack 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 atthe Table Rack 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 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:
a Build Year (2016) Total Traffic Conditions (i.e., Full Access to Table Rock Road) with
No Table Rack Road Improvements (as 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 until the ultimate widening project is constructed)
o Bulld-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:

amevzoss
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 sbefrontage to provide a temporarycenter
turn lane will allow ell Table Rock Road accesses to operate acceptably as full
movements until the ultimate Table Rock Road widening improvements are
constructed in 2017.
o Restricting the site's Table Rock Road accesses to rot-in/right-out only will allow
thane accesses to operate at acceptable levels of service and volume -to -cepa city
ratios. However, It will add additional left -turn movements at the Table Rock
Road/Hamrick Road Intersection thus resulting in over -opacity and L05 F conditions
at that location. This Impact could be reduced by adding temporary widening
around the Intersection to provide a northbound left -turn low as well as a center
refuge area north of Hamrick to allow vehicles turning left from Hamrick to make a
two stage gap scoeptanre maneuver for the left -turn.
o Once the ultimate Table Rock Road widening improvement is constructed In 2017,
all site accesses to Table Rack Road will operate a good levels of service (LOS C or
better) end volume -to -capacity, ratios (v/x0.21 or better( during the peak hour
perlads assuming they are full access movements.
From aim" perspective, a predictive safety analysis found that:
o Providing full movement accesses to Table Rock Road in the rear -term with its
current two lane configuration shows the probability far 1.2 crashes per year to
occur combined at the two access points.
o H these were restricted to right-in/right-out only driveways, the safety predlction
lowers to a probability of 0.03 crashes per year (about a 30% decrease in
probability).
o If temporary widening was provided in the Interim for a two-way left -turn lane along
the site's frontage, the pmbahllity 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 077
crashes per year even with maintaining full movement accesses at both Iecations.

Future Year2030 Analysis
nq.•e stsws
am,e..zau
The future year (1030) 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 >1A 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 LDS F during the weekday p.m. peak hour although
the movement is still operating under capacity with a w/o ratio of 0.55
• The future year (2030) total traffic analysis (with the project traffic( found that the all
generated trips did not impact any study intersections not previously identified 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 scenario.
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 build year (2016) total traffic scenario.
Parking Asrerrment
• City of Central Point Municipal Code directs that a parking supply of 670 parking spaces be
provided for Che Costco development (assuming retail land use).
• The project is proposing to provide a total of 7gl parkingspaces 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/1p00 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
supply of 753 spaces.
• This indicates that the proposed parking supply of 792 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,

Subject: Response to Comments— Central Point Costco TIA
ProNi,t a'. 19046.0
This memorandum responds to comments submitted by staff from the City of Central Point (via
Southern Oregon Transportation Engineering, LLC), related to the Central Point Costco Transportation
Impact Analysis (TIA). Each comment Is summarized below followed by our response.
COMMENT 1— SUBMITTED BY CITY 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 he
reasonably funded within the neat twenty years. Many of the projects and/or improvements
identified are nonfunded 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 scalping 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, OOOT, on Thursday, July 2, 2015, "Page a of TIA, Planned
Transportation Improvements — This should reference the RVMPO RTP Tier 1 projects and also

consider improvements/mitigations identified in TAMP 33. It is possible that some of them could be
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 COOT that stated, "We will include any planned
transportation improvements referenced In RVMPO RTP Tier 1 and LAMP 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 agencyto 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 SimTraffic 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 NB 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 buildyear(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 Road are in place.
The queuing analysis was completed using SinnTraffic within Synchro 9 software, which implements
the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual methodology and is in compliance with ODOT's APIA. 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 next 25d' foot (assuming 25 -feet
of storage per vehicle).

guild -Year /2016) total Traffic Condition Queue Lengths
Table 1 presents the queue lengths for the build -year (2015) total traffic scenario. As documented in
the TIA, the northbound right -turn at the 1-5 NB 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 site -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 their( tsto the overall transportation system.

COMMENT 3 —SUBMITTED BY CITY OF CENTRAL POINT
"If multiple access points are being proposed on Table Rock Road and S Har lck Road then City and
County access spacing standards should be taken into consideration and shown to be in compliance
or otherwise justified."
KAI RESPONSE
The Cites Transportation System Plan (TSP) Identifies Table Rock Road as a major arterial. Based on
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 unsignaliaed 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 site
boundary. The spacing between the two site driveways is 500 feet, meeting City access management
standards.
Although distance between the main driveway and the S Hamrick Road intersection does not meet
the City's standards, there are no queue conflicts or operational issues associated with the spacing.

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 5 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 Driveway/5 Hamrick Road site access meets the spacing requirement between the
driveway and the unslgnalized Intersection of Table Rock Rood/S Hamrick Road Intersection. The
distance between the west and east driveways along 5 Hamrick Road is roughly 520 feet, 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 unsignalind 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 5 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 Ng 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 Castro will be
responsible based on feedback from the agencies.

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 (Pile 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 four (4) undeveloped lots within the Federal Way Business Park Subdivision. As a previously
platted subdivision all utilities, with the exception of transportation infrastructure, are available and
adequate to service the project.
The applicant has prepared a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) I identifying and addressing
transportation impacts and mitigation measures. The TLk was prepared in accordance with input from the
City 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 (four travel lanes, a center tum lane, 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. Hamrick Road is a City Collector Street. rhe right-of-way in front of the subject property
varies from 72-76 feet, which is adequate to serve the proposed project.
Slormwatec There is a 36 -inch storm line in Hamrick Road.
TRAFFIC IMPACT S& MITIGATION:
The TIA evaluated twelve (12) intersections deemed to be affected by the project. Four of the intersections
have issues at the opening of Costco (Build Year Fall 2016). Those intersections are:
L Table Rock Road & 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 & Hamrick Read (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,
Transportation Impact Analysis Central Point Cox= Uevelnpment, Kittclson & Assacieres, Inc., October 2015
140 South P Street Central 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 ]'able Rock Road project, for the Table Rock Roadiffmarrick
Road intersection the applicant will be required to construct a center mru lane and refuge
lane within the existing Table Rock Road right -of way.
c. Upon completion of the 'Fable Rock Road Improvement project, access movements will be
limited to right-in/right-out, and left -in movements (no signalization) for the two access
driveways on )'able Rock Road.
4. Northbound I-5 OffRamp(ODO]'). On the opening date for Coseco, the NB 1-5 off ramp will
exceed the allowable volume to capacity (v/c) ratio, triggering the need for dual right mm lanes
(TAMP 33 Project No. 9). Thu cstimatcd project cost is $1.3M_ The project cost sharing shall be as
follows:
ODO1', $800,000
Costco: $377,000 (Not to exceed)
City: 5123,000 (Not to exceed)
Per COOT, 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 permit and is not
SDC eligible.
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. T'he 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, Tue. This results in a
$45,000 contribution from the developer to this future project.
6. Table Rock Road & Momnnide Street (City of Medford). At the intersection of Table Rock Road
and Morningside Street the City of Medford recommends a condition that requires the developer to
pay a proportional share towards a future left turn lane at this 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 5300,000 including design, construction and inspection. A 20% contribution would result in a
$60,000 contribution from the developer to this future project.
140 South P Street Central Point, OR 97502 .541.664.3321 Fax 541.664.6384
It should be noted that the IIA indicates that by 2020 additional lane configurations will be needed for the
intersection of East Pine Street/Hamrick Road. The City of Central Paint 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 turn lanes on Hamrick Read North and South of the
intersection. No additional improvements- will be made on E. Pine Street/BJddle Road as part of this
improvement project.
APPROVAL:
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) , ec
a similar agreement acceptable to the City and ODOT ("Agmernent"), to fund development and
construction of a dual right turn lane at the I-5 Exit 33 northbound off ramp. The estimated project
cost is $1.3M. The Agreement shall distribute costs as follows:
ODOT $ 800,000
Costco: $ 377,000 (Not to exceed)
City' $ 123,000 (Not to exceed)
Total $1,300,000
Costco's contribution shall not exceed $377,000 and shall be paid prior to issuance of a building
permit.

RE: Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan 8 Architectural Review for construction of a
161,992 square foot membership warehouse and four island fuel facility, including 783 parking
spaces and site landscaping off Hamrick Road and Table Rock Road — county -maintained
roads.
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. Prier to opening, Jackson County requests construction of a left 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
first 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 Rock
Road Improvement project to complete, the Table Rock Road approaches will be limited
to right-inlrlght-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-in/right-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 project's expense.

December 10, 2015
Pagc 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 point will become a significant access for the project.
The current site plan utilizes Table Rock and Hamrick Reads as the front of the project
and for primary public access. Federal Way is prlmarlly utilized for delivery access and
as a minor public access. The she 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
oad.11,The posted speed zone for Table Rock Road Is 45 mph, requiring an approach sight
distance minimum of 325'.
12. Hamrick Road is a Basic Speed Rule road. The required approach sight distance Is
460'.
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.If drainage is directed to Hamrick Road and/or Table Rock Road, Jackson County
Reads would like to review and comment on the hydraulic report including the
calculations and drainage plan. Capacity improvements or on site 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-wey dedicated.

Dear Ms. Holtey:
We have reviewed the Central Point Staff Report, dated January 5, 2016, for the
proposed Costco Conditional Use Permit and have the following comments:
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.
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 hips
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.
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.

Central Point, OR. 97502
Dear Ms. Holley:
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.
Sincerely,
Peter Mackprang
Associate Traffic Engineer

The fallowing uses and their accessory uses maybe permitted in an NI-I district when aufeodzed i2
accordance with Chapter 17.76:
A. Business offices and commercial uses that are 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-I district;
B. Rail andtmekingdisnioution facilities.
Finding 17.48.040(A): The City. by Planning Commission Resolution 764 and City Council Resolution
1217, determined that membership warehouses are a commercial use compatible with and closely
related le permitted usr' in the AT zone.
Conclusion 17.48.040(A): Cosmo Wholesale, a membership ovarehoussr that includes wholesale
moornobile feel sales, is specifically allowed as a Conditional Use.
Finding 17.48.040(B): There are no rail or trucking distribaion facilities associated with (he proposed
use.
Conclusion 17.48.040(B): Nol applicable
17.76.040 Findings and Conditions
The planning commission in manting a conditional use purimil shall find as follows:
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 ofthis code.
Finding 17.76.040(A): As evidenced in the appticart s site plan, the 18.28 acre project site is
ad,plere dy sized to accommodate the proposed s(ructures and off-street parking asfollows:
l) Setback Requirements (CFMC 17.48.060). The proposed so ochres meet the setback
requirements of the M zoning district as sel forth in Table 1 below:
Fmnf (North) 20-ft 275-ft 1 950-N

In accordance with Section 17.64.040(8)(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 frillowing:
• Documented parking supply and demand at existing Costco Wholesale warehouses in
Oregon; and,
• The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation, 4ih Edition
recommendation to maintain a maximum parking milization of 90% during the typical
peak periods to avoid illegal parking and repeating circulation.'
The applicant's parking propa.sal 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.
CFA. Since the difference between the minimum recommendation and the proposed adjustment or
within the range of acceptable statistical error (less than 5%) and is consistent with the ITE
v ITC Parking Generation, 4" Edition, 2010.
Page 3 of 11
recammendatlon in stay below 90% uttdization fir typical and seasonalpeaks, the request to
increase else parkingstandard ds warranaed and can be accommodated as kinor rated by the
applicant's site plan.
3) Loading Requirements/Section 1Z40�_ Loading r,gm,,dJw, retail butldmgsgreater
than 100,000 sf GIA includes 3 bays plus I bay far each additional 80,00 s f. On this
basis the proposed 161,992 of warehouse requires four (4) loading bays, which are
provided on applicant's site plan and architectural elevations (north and west
elevations). Additionally, the plans show three (3) loading areas for smaller truckwan
deliveries.
Condusfon 17.76.0401 The site is sufficient in size and shape to accommodate Che use and
meet the development mallet requirement oj'the M-1 zone.
IT That the she has adequate access to a pablic street or highway and that the street or highway is
adecuate in size and ennditien to effectively accommodate the traffic that is expected to be
generated by fee proposed use.
Finding 17.76.040(h): The proposed Costco membership warehouse and fuel focisty will
generate approximately 10,670 new daily trips. In accordance with Seeltan 17.05.900(A)(2)(e),
the applicant prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis (77A) for the proposed Costco membership
warehouse and fiel facility. The scope ofwork for the TIA was based nn sectima sesseons held
on June 2, 2015 and August 13, 2015 with affected transportation agencies (i e Oregon
Department of Transportation, Jackson County, City of Medford', and City of Central Point). It
was agreed that the TIA would evaluate twelve (12) inter secttons and ad proposed site access
driveways.
Per the TIA Costco membership data was utilized in ( refraction with area -wide papulation, land
use, employment and franspertolion information to determine how the transportation system will
operate under build year (26 16) and fidure year (2030) conditions with and without the proposed
C'osteo development in place. The TLA acc,,amedfor Jackson County's Table Rock Road
wideningpomect, which is scheduled to begin construction one year (2017) after opening of the
proposed Costco project, Upon completion of the project, Table Rack Road will include four
travel lanes, continuous center turn lane, bicycle lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the
roadway from Biddle Road to Airport Road. The roadway will then narrow to two (2) travel
lanes with a continuous center turn lane, bicycle lanes and sidewalks on both sides of die
roadway from Airport Road to the 1-5 crossing. Signaltaation of the Table Rock/Airport Road
intersection will be completed as part of this project As a resultof the planned improvements,
traffic impacts on Table Ruck Road (i.a Intersections affable Rack end Hamrick Road and
Table Ruck and Airport Road) well be resolved.
Based on the TIA and comment received from affected agencies, there are traffic impact to the
followdng six (6) roadways
City of Medford it id not provide any input into the TIA's scope of work.

3. Table Rock Road and Airport Road Intersection (Jackson County).
4. Airport Road and Biddle Road Intersection (City of Medford
5. Ilamrick Road/East Pine Street/Riddle Road (City of Central Point).
Subsequent to completion ofthe ILA the City ofMedford noted that a sixth intersection,
the intersection of Table Rock Road and Morningside Street, would also be impacted by
the project. The impacts and proposed mitigation for each of the above intersections are;
1 Northen l-5OB-Ramo. On the date of opening; the 71A indicates that the vohtme to
capacity (v/c) ratio on the NB15Of Ramp will be exceeded trigging the need for
implementation of r1VAP 33 Project No. 9 (dual right turn lanes from the off -ramp to East Fine
Street)_ To mitigate this condition ODOZ required that Project Na. 9 ofIAMP 33 be required as
a condition of development. Prior to commencement of construction of applicant's project
ODOT's Project No 9 must be fully funded and scheduledfor construction. Recogn¢ing that the
applicant's project was not reacemsiblefor the total onpaet it was agreed that the applicant will
pay a prorated share of the costs.
d Table Rock Road and Hanarick Rod IneLrsecliqn During the interim (period between
completion of the applicant's project and completion ofthe County's Table Rock Road Projer
site access an Table Rock Road will be limited to right -in/ra hl -out. As a result o(the access
restrictions, left turn delays at Hamrick Road and Table Rock will restdt unacceptable interim
levels of service (LOS F). The TIA demonstrates that the iderd/ ed interim impacts to the right-
in/right-out access restrictions on the Hamrick/Table Rock Road intersection (non -signalized) are
resolved upon completion of the Table Rock Wideningproject. To limit access and resolve the
idemVied interm iimpact to flamroiVIable Rock Road, the County is requiring the following
conditions:
a. Uwilthe County 's Table Rock Road project is complete, the private Table Rock
Road approaches will be limited to right -inlright-out only. To assure this
movement the applicant shall construct median islands in Table Rock Road in
front ofthe two Table Rock Road private approaches.
b. Prior to certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall construct a left 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
fntersection during the first year of opening.
e. As part of the County's Table Rock Improvement Project, the Table Rock Road
approaches will be constructed as right-in/left-tn/right-out movements. The
County's project will install these medians at the project's expense.
Page 5 of 11
3. Table Rockand Airport Road Intersection. Thisinaersecteam is..are.hy at LOSE. With
the appllcam's project and the pending tmProvemen Gs to the intersection scheduled for 2017
as part of the Table Rock Road Widening Project the level ofservice will be improved to LOS
A. During the interim it is agreed that a lower level ofservice is acceptable.
4. Air aort Road and Biddle Road. This Intersectiorz currently operatas at a LOS C'. Ailuild
year, the ira,mcrioa will operate at a LOS 6. The City ofMeatford's revie'm cfthe 'CIA, per rz
letter dared Janamy 5, 2016, indicated that the preferred mitigation waned be the eventual
slgnaliza ion of this intersection and recommended that the en plieant pay their property nal
.share 0000/o) of thefidure (no planned dat) signalization cos! prior to commencement of
construction of the applicants project.
S£Iamrick Road and Eas[Pine Street/Biddle Road ln(ersecdon. With completion afthe
applicmtt's project the intersection cf Hamrick Rand and Raa Pine StreeUBiddle Road is not
expected to exceed LOS 1), However, the TLA confirmed that by 2020 the City's 'TSP Project
9213 will be needed at this intersectinrz to avoid an unacceptable leve( ofservice. I'he city of
Centra] Point is tentatively scheduled to complete the �rzecesanry irreprovemenb-os n Capita!
Improvement Project by 2018, including north -south traffic receiving lanes', a then lane, and
designated right and left turn lanes on Hamrick Road north and south of the intersection.
The City is not requiring interim r..iagation, since the identified impacts do not occur at the
buiidyear.
7ab1, Rock lecad and b7orningside Street Inas noire, Although net studied in the TIA the
City of Medford. in letter., dated December 24, 2015 and January 5, 2016, stated that
increased project related traffic vole me on Table Rock hotel waned increase .IUu,,
potential to turning movements at the intersection. The Gtyof Medford recommends that
prior to commencement ofconstruction of the applicant's project that the applicant
contribute its proportional share (20%) toward fitteme (no scheduled date) construction of left
tarn improvements at this intersection.
Conclusion 17.16.040(B): Per the Applicant's TPA and the recommendations all the affzcmd
agencies, traffic impacts of proposed use on public streets and highways have beers idem fed
and will be mitigated as noted in the above findings and as conditioned in the Revised Staff
Report dated January 5, 2016.
C. That the proposed use will have no significant adverse effect on abutting property or the
permitted use thereof. In making this detcmrit ation, the conunission shall consider the proposed
location of improvements on the site; vehurular ingress, egress and internal circulation; setiacks;
height of buildings and structures; walls and fences; landscaping; outdoor lighting; and signs.
Findingl7.76.040(C): Thefollmvingeharacteriviicswereevaluatedinconsiderattonoftie
proposal's impacts to abutting properties:
1. Pr000seo Location ofSite Fmprovenients. As illustrated in the Site Plan, the location of the
proposed warehouse, fifer facility, parking and landscape improvements are consistent with
the site design and development reguvements of the M-1 zoning disarct (See Finding
17.76.040(A)).
Page 6 of 11
2. Vehicular Lngress F.eress and Internal Circulation. The project site proposes two access
drives on each of the frontage roads (i.e. Federal Way, Hamrick Road and Table Rock Road).
Per the 71A, access restrictions to private approaches on Table Rack Road, prior to
completion of the Table Rock Road widening project, can Ye operational and safety issues at
Hamrick Road. As demonstrated in Finding 17.76.040(B), access restrictions and mitigation
measures resolve traffic impacts aserciated with ingress and egress as conditioned is" the
Revised Staff Report dated January 5, 2016.
3, Setbacks- The applicant's site plan identifies the location afstrsmtures and off-street parking
areas consistent with the setback requirements m the M-1 zoning district (.See Finding
17.76040(A).
4. Buddine Heieht. Per the Architeateral Elevationsubmitted by the applicant, the warehouse
will have a varied roofbne with a maximum height af34 Ji at the top of highest parapet.
The proposed building lueighi is typical of surrounding warehouse development and wtthiu
the me -imam 60 ft building height allowed in the M-1 zone. The top of the fiuel canopy is 17 -
ft 6 -inches within the maximum height requirements of the M-1 zone.
5. Walls and Fences: Due to the nature of the proposed use as bulk retail. sales, the applicant's
proposal does not include site obscuring walls orfences. This proposal is typical of other
commerciaUretail development in the city, orally consistent with otherpermitted uses in the
M-1 zone, As such, the no adverse impacts to adjacent properties or their permitted uses will
result, from the absence of fences and Nails
6. Lr nchasaperiZ The applicant's Landscape Plan illustrates proposed street ftcntage and off-
street parking area landscape improvements consistent with site de eclopreent requirements
in the M-1 zone. This is considered to be adequate and effective in avoiding adverse visual
impacts to adjainingproperties.
i. Outdoa s The applicant seubmitted a S4te Photometric Plan that .shows perzmeter
and, ii nerbor lighting throughout the site. Lighting is oriented toward the interior site and is
not deemed to cause an adverse impact to adjoining properties.
8. hlign.s. The Applicant has submitted a Class "C" !Variance (Nile No. 15032) from the sign
area standard ofCPMC 17 48.080(A)(1). The signage variance request v ould allow wall
signs that are proportional to the buddan; scale and dimension consistent with signage
permitted in other commercial (C) districts in the City. Bayed upon the applicant's
proportionality rationale far the proposal, the variance request is deemed reasonable.
However, if the variance is not approved, the applicant will be required to demonstrate
coneplianee with the M-1 sign area standards prior to building permit issuance.
Conclusion (Z76.040(C): The applicant's project is typical efsat, development within the M-1
zone. As such, the site development standards for permitted uses in combination with the
Page 7 of 11
conditions ofapproml relative to vehicle irtgress and ogres (Finding 17.76040(B)) are deemed
snfficient to avoid adverse impacts to abt¢ting properties or permitted uses thereof
D. That the establishment, main ten ance or operation vCge use applied for will comply with local,
state and federal health and safety regulations and therefore will riot 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 improvernents in the neighborhood or to
the general wclfarc of the community based on the review of those factors listed in subsection C
of:his section.
finding 17.76.040(1))The issue of safety is regulated through the building code and in
conjunction with thefre district theproposeellueting srah,, mot be constructed and operated
in compliance with all Federal, Stare and local regulation and ,shall be reviewed during the
building penult process andinnor to a,aeoce of, building permit Th, Applicam'sfindings
off{rm their commlunenl to complying with all Federal, State and local reguterians.
Conclusion 17.76.040(D). The proposed Costco Wholesale is conisten! with this criterion.
F. That any conditions required for approval of the permit are deemed necessary to protect the
public health, safety and general welfare and may include:
t. Adj us intents to lot size or yard areas as needed to best accommodate the proposed use,
provided the lots or yard areas conform to the stated minimum dimensions for fie subject
zoning district. t.nuss a variance is also granted as provided for in Chapter 1713
Finding 1 Z76.040(F)(1): The site is adequate to accommodate the proposed
development as demonstrated in binding 17.76040(A). However, as a condition of
approval, legal let consolidation ofthe font, (4) lots comprising the it, colil be required
prior to building permit issuance to eliminate property boundary conflicts with the
proposed structures.
Cnnciusi, n 17.76.040(E)(1): As conditioned, the required lot consolidation is s'ehhuent

BACKGROUND
Costco Wholesale ("Applicant") is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to develop a 161,992 square foot
membership warehouse on 18.28 acres in the M -I, Industrial zone.
The Conditional Use Permit application was considered at the January 5, 2016 Planning Commission meeting. Al
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 ofthe application.
Due to the timing of revised comments and conditions from the City of Medford on January 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 "14") 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 (13) letters were received with six (6) in favor, Eve (5) in opposition, and
two (2) neutral. 'I he applicant responded to opposing testimony with timely rebuttal. It should he 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 politics, impacts to local businesses and associated internship and scholarship
opportunities). A summary of the written comments received during the open record are:
I. Opposition. 'I estimony 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 toable Rock Road widening, impacts of heavy truck traffic, and the need for the
applicant to bear the cost of improvements (Sec Exhibits "1" through "5").
The Applicant's Rebuttal (Exhibit "14") and the 11A (Exhibit " 15") address the testimony opposing the
proposed use on the following basis:
a. The TIA was prepared and reviewed by affected agencies and Southern Oregon Transportation
I ingincers, LLC. The analysis relied on assumptions including Costae's market demographics,
area -wide population, employment, land use, and transportation system information including
heavy trucks/ vehicles (See TIA, Exhibit "15");
b. Per the conditions of approval, mitigation measure address safety and operational impacts
necessary to provide adequate transportation s'ervices.
c. Costae'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 ofthe proposed use counters concerns about adverse impacts to local
business and further asserted support for the proposed location due to community benef is 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 Biddlc/Pine Street have been adequately addressed and mitigated (Sec 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 (See Exhibits "14" and "15").

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 traffic 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 true 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 are smart retailers and they need a larger store to service the
market and loyal customers that they have.
ri
Page two of three
Kittleson 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 to just 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 l-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 Costes 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 disastrous 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 this 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, Ibis 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.

Summary of January 6,2016 comments on application of .Costco Wholesale
David Smith 241 Saginaw Drive, Medford, OR 97504
1. Co-owner of business on S. Front Street in Central Point and several apartments.
2. Longtime member of Costco and shop at present store at least twice a week.
3. Research of official records of ODOT 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 OOOT materials Gordan 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 at the
entrance to the airport.
6..,ODOT's Freight PmfBe Identifies Table Rock Road as one of the local roads that "experience high
volumes of freight traffic."
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. 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 Castro.
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 nate 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 bath 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 prohlem which has not been addressed.

To Whom This May Concern
I am writ ng this atter to share my strum; desire to keep Central Point a small, family friendly town. I
undefstaid that bringing a large business, such as Costco 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 that Mayor, Hank Williams, has recently put into our town's dowrtown and local business
appeal.
My thoughts go immediately to the small businesses that make up the backbone of this community —
businesses that would inevitably be losing some oftheir customer base. In turn, some local businesses—
ones that faithfully give back to our schools and community, would possibly be faced with the layoffof
staff, or m extreme cases, closure of facilities. This could change the dynamics in Central Point —
affecting revenue, Crater Foundation Scholarships, local internships for high school students, and
hous Pig. People pay a prime price to live in Central Point, yet one has to wonder, 'f the traffic appeal is
similar to that of Medford, if prices will eventually drop.
I am confident that when reviewing this proposal, you will realize the detriment effect of tris decision.
My hope is that Central Paint will continue to be a little oasis in the valley, with local bus posses that are
booming, strong s,h..Is educating or children, safe parks to play In, and a strong housing demand.

Dear Central Point Planning commission,
This is regarding the plans for the New Costco on Table Rock Rd. and Biddle.
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 it's already $3800 a year which is higher than any city near Central Point.
I am a Iso 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

To whom it may concem
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 One Rd. At the
time the tragic 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 Lithia 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 Rock 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

WeVe been members of the Costco Stores since 1985. Their products are of
high quality and within reason. Their attitude and help has always been above
reproach. IF You have a problem with their products, they are very quick to
refund or replace the product with few exceptions (some electronic items).
As property owners in JacKson County and Curry County, Costco has always
been an asset In helping us with our needs. Also, their assistance in helping
small and large businesses in theRpgue Valley in so many ways. The number of
jobs have increased in the surrounding area along with other businesses.
As retired teachers, we do encourage the approval of the Costco Store in
Central Point.

corner of Table Rock Rd. and Hamrick Rd. Although I live in Medford, my dally 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,
Thank you for your consideration of this proposal, and I hope that you will be able to approve their

This Costo. development will help stinwlate properties that have been stagnate since the recession and
will give a needed boost to the surrounding properties. It will help to get the necessary infrastructure
needed to dcvdop these properties. In additionit will help the tax base.
The neighboring area was zoned 60 that it could be a focal point for commerce. We rhinle Cosrca will he

fo Whom It May Concern
I am definitely in favor of approving the Custco store in Central Point near Table Rock
Road and Hamrick.
I reside in the Central Point East neighborhood, about 4 blocks north of the proposed
Costco site. I am semi -retired and make numerous trips in the area that would be affected
by traffic generated by the proposed Custco store. From my frequent observations, the
comments I have heard about the truck traffic and other alleged problems on Biddle/Pine
must be from persons who have no direct knowledge of the situation or most have some
other agenda. Traffic on Biddle/Pine between Table Rack and Hamrick is some of the
lightest in the area.
Central Point needs more opportunities for shopping and employment. I think the
opponents of development in Central Point, particularly in the area east of 1-5, are not
thinking of the best interests of the community as a whole.
I would be glad to give you any more information you may need in this matter,
Sincerely,

Re: Planned Castro in Central Paint
My name is Laura Vaughn, I live at 5085 Dobrot Way, Central Point, Oregon. I attended and spoke quickly to the
meeting last week on January 5, 2016.
I am following up my nervous statements with the fallowing
I have been a member of Costco, Executve Member, since 1993. 1 am a loyal and avid fan of the
quality/pr!ce of items they offer tome no be rs.
I have lived in the Rogue Valley since 1996—I 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 Point.
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 bun arid 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
Cobourg road — did it stop me from visiting it— NO! I am aware that to shop at Costco means you need
to have patience. And with the Eugene location — it is very similar to the proposed area — you go a half
m'le north and it•s Country roads.........
I am in favor of relocating the Medford Costco warehouse and fuel facility to the proposed location on
Hari and Table Ruck Roads in Central Point.
;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 ;coal grocery stores for the
quick in and out purchases!
As I finished my nervous statement I mentioned — IT 15 ONLY THROUGH CHANGE THAT YOU GROW Any change
Is well wo,th the hassle and delays that the construction will cause .... li al 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........
Thank you for letting me put in writing what I was too excited to say in person at your meeting. PLEASE
APPROVE THIS CONSTRUCTION AND LET COSTCO BEGIN TO HELP CENTRAL POINT GROW!! COSTCO WILL
RELOCATE, PLEASE LET IT BE HERE AT HAMIRCK AND TABLE ROCK ROAD!

A number of us own properties in the vicinity of the proposed development and are in favor of your
approval of this development.
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 Castro 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 he necessary for other
development,
This area of the valley was once characterized as the logistical center of comme rce. This is probably why
it was chosen by COSTCO. We think a good choice.
We hope the City will work hard to make the proposed development a reality.

RE: Conditional Use Permit — Costco Rebuttal
Dear Chairman Pi land and members of the Planning Commission
Costco would like to thank you for your thoughtful consideration of our Conditional Use
Permit application.
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. Costco'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 Costco'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.
Respectfully,
Jac .Frank

RE: Conditional Use Permit Application
Dear Chairman Piland and members of the Planning Commission:
This letter responds to transportation -related issues raised in written comments submitted to the City of
Central Point on or before January 12, 2016 and referencing the Conditional Use Permit Application by
Costco Wholesale for a warehouse and fuel facility near the Hamrick Road/Table Rock Road intersection
in Central Point, Oregon.
1. 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, 2016 letterfrom 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 he 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 nary 12, 20161etter from David Smith.
Response: As is normal practice in almost all road construction projects, a traffic management
plan will be established and implemented forthe 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 Mall."January 11, 2016 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 report and the follow-
up letters and technical memoranda that are part of the record.
S. 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 Ion 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 11, 2016 letter from 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.
Z 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, 2016 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 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.
B. 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. 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 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. " Jon udry 11, 2015 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, 2016 letter 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: "1 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 #1 above: the fact that Costco's traffic analysis has conservatively overestimated the
facility's off-site traffic impacts gives further assurance that Castro is fully contributing its
proportionate financial share of each mitigation measure identified in the conditions of approval.
13. Comment: "1 don't have, nor remember, the exact numbers but it was somewhere in the realm
of 13,000 cars a day, an 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."January 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.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide these responses.

MEMORANDUM
Dat¢ January 19, 2016 Project N: 19046.0
To: 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
Subject 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. Attachment A 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 developerto 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 Castro's proportional share for constructing a separate left turn lane
should be 20%, based on 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 B includes the crash data summary and ADT of the Table Rock
Rood/Morningside Road intersection.
d"AARVAYTIM
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.

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 flock Road Industrial Park. I have
standing in that I spoke at the original hearing on January 6'", 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 Valley 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 VALUES 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 mightjust seem
like a fit. With that said, it is certain that the management of Costco is under no illusions, whatsoever,
Page 2 73, Appeal
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 COOT 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. In 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 may be
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 Riddle 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 signif cant 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, 200116

ATTACHMENT "C-2"
COSTCO WHOLESALE 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. 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, L. Calvin Martin fled an appeal contesting the Planning Commission's decision
on the basis that the City of Cenral Point Planning Department and Planning Commission committed an
error when approving the Conditional Use Permit for the Costco Store (`Martin Appeal"). The Martin
Appeal addressed several issues that focused on legitimacy of a commercial/retail use in the M -I zone
and traffic related concerns, which are addressed below.
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 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 Nu.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
'I here 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

I . Planning Commission Abuse of Discretion. "1'he City Planning Commission has abused their
discretion in allowing such a use in the industrial zone and at this location."
Finding k Membership warehouses, per Section 17.48.020(W) 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 (CUP) application in accordance with the conditional use permit
standards and criteria set forth in CPUC 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.
Conclusion 1: 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. '1rallic Impacts. Traffic generated by Costco on a daily basis is substantially more than is
generated by the entire Rogue Valley Mall.
Finding 2: The Applicant. submitted a traffic impact analysis ("TIA) into the record prepared by
Kit[elson and Associatrs for the subject property. City r[affreviewed theT1A 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 opponents was limited to opinions as to the amount of traffic that would be generated by the
subject application. There was no other traffic analysis in the record to contradict the
Applicant's TIA, 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 Valley 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 of membership warehouses as a conditional use in the M-1 zone as discussed
in Finding 1 above, and Finding 17.48.040(A) ofthe Planning Department Supplemental
Findings in the record. The planning Commission considered and approved the Conditional Use
Permit for Costco Wholesale based on the application's demonstrated compliance with the
standards and criteria for conditional use permits per CPMC 17.76 as setforth in the Applicant's
bindings and the Planning Department Supplemental Findings (See Resolution No. 827 and
attachments thereto).
Page 2 of 71
Conclusion 3: The 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.' 77.76 to approve a membership warehouse and fuel facility and applied
the evidence in the record to find such standards and criteria were met.
4. Statement of Values. - "Your S I AT EMENT OF VALUES regarding growth. _stated that, "We
value planned growth that will retain our small town atmosphere." 'Phis project does not fit that
statement."
Finding 4: In considering the Conditional Use Application for the proposed Membership
Warehouse andfuel 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 setforth in Central Point Municipal Code Chapter 1776-
Conclusion 4: 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 Council finds the Planning Commission did not err
applying the Standards and Criteria cf ('PMC 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 handing 17 48 040(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 are permitted subject to the standards and criteria for Conditional Use
Permits per CPMC 17.76.
Conclusion 5: the Council concludes that the Manning Commission's consideration of
membership warehouses as a conditional use and not as an accessary use is in conformance with
the (,try's similar use authorization per CPMC 17.48020(W) and CPMC 17.60.140_ ,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 might just seem like a tit. 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 Casten CUP to develop a
membership warehouse and fuel facility is based on the City's .similar use authorization for
Page 3 of 71
membership warehouses in the 2W zoning district per Finding 17 48.040(A) in the Planning
Department Supplemental Findings and h'inding 1 above_
Conclusion 6: Membership warehouse clubs, such as Costco Wholesale, are allowed in theVI-I
district subject to the standards and criteria .setforth in CPMC 17.76, Conditional Use Permit
7. Not a Fit in the Zone. —"As 1 previously stated, Costco 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 fit this zone.
They are not a complimentary service and supply provider that is allowed in this 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."
Finding 7: As noted in findings 5 and 6, membership warehouses were approved in 2009 as a
conditional use in the M -I zone. With regard to traffic, CPMC 17.76 requires consideration of
the fallowing:
A. 7 hat 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;
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;
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. 'I hat 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 wel fare 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 4 of 11
3. Adjustments to of -street parking requirements in accordance with any
unique characteristics of the proposed use,
4. Regulation of points of vehicular ingress and egress,
+xs
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 welfare 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 7 I .submitted by the Applicant, and comments from the City, City of Medford,
OIJOTand the Airport The Planning Commission imposed conditions of approval pursuant to
the 71A and comments from otherjurisdictions for traffic impact mitigation. No expert testimony
was received into the record countering the 71A or agency recommendations for truffle impact
mitigations (See binding 2 addressing traffic generated by Cosice, compared to the Rogue
Valley 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 signs. The Planning
Commission found that the proposed project is typical of site development within the M-1 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(8) in the record below are
sufficient to avoid adverse impacts to abutting properties or permitted uses thereof.
As demonstrated in 6'inding 17.76 040(l)) in the record below, the Planning Commission
considered the issue of safety and found that there is sucient evidence in the Applicant's
findings to demonstrate, in conjunction with the building code andfire 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
Yngc 5 of 11
evidence in the record for the Planning commission to find that the use is compatible with the
zone.
8. Traffic Effects Far 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 Pransportation. 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."
Finding 8: Per the TIA, the proposed Costco Wholesale and fuel facility is expected to generate
10,670 new daily trips_ 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 LOS/PC. On
the day of opening traffic impacts were identified at four (4) intersections: l) Interstate 5
Northbound Off Ramp; 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 Table Rock Road and Morningside Street
.south of the project 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 1).

As demonstrated in the Applicant's bindings 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 8: There is substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to find
that as conditioned, the application complies with CPMC 1776 and that traffic impacts from the
project will funded or constructed at the time of development.
9. Heavy Vehicle Conflicts. - "Traffic congestion around the Costco store will be a mix of heavy
trucks and light vehicles. Table Rock Road will see the bulk of traffic and the measures that have
been suggested will only assist but not solve the problems related to this location."
Finding 9: The Council incorporates binding 8 as iffully set forth herein.
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 fable Rock Road. - "Additional traffic on Table Bock 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'I able Rock Road and Pine/Biddle Road."
Finding 10 !'he 71A 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 7ahle Rock Road at Morningside
Street would be adversely impacted due to left turn delays and associated safety concerns. Per
the City of Medford's request, the Planning Commission imposed a condition requiring financial
contribution for the applicant's proportional share of traffic mitigation to the intersection prior
to building permit issuance_

Conclusion 8: There is substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to find
that as conditioned, the application complies with CPMC 1776 and that traffic impacts from the
project will funded or constructed at the time of development.
9. Heavy Vehicle Conflicts. - "Traffic congestion around the Costco store will be a mix of heavy

Finding 10 !'he 71A 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 7ahle Rock Road at Morningside
Street would be adversely impacted due to left turn delays and associated safety concerns. Per
the City of Medford's request, the Planning Commission imposed a condition requiring financial
contribution for the applicant's proportional share of traffic mitigation to the intersection prior
to building permit issuance_
Page 7 of I 1
Conctusion 10. There is substantial evidence in the record for the Planning Commission to find
that the Applicant will improve, or make financial contributions tmvard traffic mitigation, that is
roughly proportional to the impacts of this development.
11. Improvement Timing. - "The improvements required in the'I raffic Impact Study indicate a
resultant congestion from construction that is not to he completed for as much as two years. In
reality, some of these items, such as an I -g off ramp improvement, are not scheduled by ODO'I'
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 6ih, 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 I7: 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 Khtelson & Associates, as well as comments received from affected agencies,
including the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOI), Jackson County Roads, City of
Central Point Public Works Department, and City of Medford Evidence in the record addressing
traffic impacts and the timing of improvements is as follows_
-Table Rock Road Improvement Project. The traffic impact analysis prepared by Kitlelson &
Associales took into account planned roadway improvements, including the.fackson County
Table Rock Road Improvementproject, 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 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 subject development as possible_
The Revised Public Works Staff Report dated January 5, 2016 states that, "Per ODOT,
construction will commence at the earliest passible date. " (See Traffic Impacts and
Mitigation Item No. 4)
b. During staffs presentation at the January 5, 2016 Planning Commission Meeting, during
a discussion oflraffic impacts and mitigation 06:05), staff stated that OD01agreed to
expedite construction of off ramp improvements as close to opening day as possible.
Eon Morehouse, ODOTPlanner, concurred with the staffpresentation and .stated that he
had nothingfurther to add (Audio Recording_ at 1 26' 15).
Page 8 of l l
Conclusion 11: 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 ofirport and Biddle
Road exceeds the level ofservice standard for the City ofMedford Ina letter dated January 5,
2016, the City ofMedford requested a condition that requires the developer to pay a proportional
share toward a future traffic signal at this intersection. 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 of signalization improvements in an amount not to exceed
$45,000, which shall he 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 signalizalion
improvements per the City of Medford Comments dated January 5, 2016
13. fraffic Impacts Not Easily Solved, if at all. - "The impact on all these roads is significant and
not easily solved if at all"
Finding I3: Trade impacts and mitigations are identified in the 71A and by the City of Medford,
ODOT relative to the intersections of Biddle and Airport Road and Table Rock andMorningside
Street. The Planning Commiesion'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. - "The costs for all of the improvements needed to place this major
retailer in an industrial zone along Table Rock Read more than eclipses the cost of the store itself
by a tactor of five. Estimates for the widening of the freeway overpass on Table Rock Road
exceeds 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. "Ihe estimate for acquiring these
properties for road widening docs not exist, but would be very high"
Finding 14: There is no evidence in the record from affected agencies or traffic experts or
engineers to demonstrate that the Interstate 5 overpass on Table Rock Road warrants
replacement or that Table Rock Road improvements south of Interstate 5 are required, other than
Pagc 9 of l l
required mitigation at the intersection of "!'able Rock Road and Marningside ,Street, which was
addressed See also ."finding No.8, incorporated herein by reference_
Conclusion 14: There Is substantial evidence in the recordfor 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. - "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"
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 LOSIVC ratios (See Synchro
Reports in the TIA 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
traffic mitigation or denial of this application.
16. Vehicle and (tuck Accidents. - `Vehicle and truck accidents will undoubtedly increase and
serious injuries will occur when Custer's large number of senior drivers are forced to mix with
large truck traffic."
Finding 16: Ileavy 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 record from experts ac to the "large number of senior
drivers."
Conclusion 16: There is .substantial evidence in the recordfor 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
(TIA Page 28) to document crash types, trends and severity_ The 7M found that there were no
fatality crashes and the most common crashes were turning movement and rear -end crashes
accounting for approximately 82% ofall crashes. There is no expert evidence in the record
substantiating this allegation.
Conclusion 14: There is substantial evidence in the recordfor the Planning Commission to 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 ofihis project.
PART 3 — SUMMARY CONCLUSION

ATTACHMENT "D -V
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 1. 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 COOT 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 CLOT 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.

Summary of January 6,2016 comments on application of .Costco Wholesale
David Smith 241 Saginaw Drive, Medford, OR 97504
1. Co-owner of business on S. Front Street in Central Point and several apartments
2. Longtime member of Costco and shop at present store at least twice a week.
3. Research of official records of ODOT 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
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 tragic 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 ... ODOT's Freight Profile identifies Table Rock Road as one ofthe local roads that "experience high
volumes of freight traffic."
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.
B. Costco tries to identify its operation as a warehouse, but indicates in Its November 3, 2011111
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 ofthe 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 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.

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 I - 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 comer 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 zoning 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. Costco's traffic study does not indicate that the airport master plan has been taken into
consideration.
3. Site access on an ODOT designated Fright 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 CUP without further study
will create immediate and future traffic congestion and hazards.
6. Approval of the CUP is contrary to the Central Point Statement of Values relative to growth and
transportation.
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
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. 'Phe applicable
approval criteria for a Conditional Cso Permit are set forth under CPMC 17.76.040, Findings and
Conditions for Conditional Use Permits.
PAR,r 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. - "Costae'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. 'Phe use or
general population statistics in inadequate to assign predicted distribution of the 10,670 daily trips
by Costco Memberss."
Finding 1: The Applicant .submitted a traffic impact analysis ("TIA) by Kittelson and
Associates for the subject properly 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
analysts 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 dishribulion 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 7'1A 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
properly.
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.
Finding 2: The Planning Commission's consideration ofthe Costco CUP application relied
upon the Applicant's TIA and agency comments 6 e. the City of Medford) relative to the identified
traffic impacts and mitigation measures at the intersection of Biddle Road and Airport Road (See
"traffic Impact Analysis: Central Point Costro Development, Central Point, Oregon Kittelson & Associates.
October 2015. Page 37.
Page 2 of 6
Finding 17.76040(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 TIA
identified impacts to the intersection. The City ofMedford recommended a condition of approval
to include a median to resolve the impact In a letter daled.lanuary 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 ofMedford indicated this
contribution would be .sufficient to mitigate the impacts of this project The estimated project cast
is 5450,000, 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 of signalizalion improvements in an amount not to
exceed 545,000, 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 CI'MC 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 arc on reads which ODO'f has master planned as a
freight corridor. ODOI'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.
Finding 3: heavy vehicles were evaluated in the Applicant's TLA at all study intersection and
Nile 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 ODOT representative was
present at the.lannary 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(0)(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 requiringfurther mitigation, except at identified and conditioned herein..
4. 'f here is nothing in the record to verify that 0D0 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 4Evidence in the record addressing traffic impacts and the timing of Interstate 5
Northbound Off -Ramp, Exit 33 Improvements, and the feasibility of imposing conditions for such
traffic mitigation includes the TIA 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 prry its
proportional share of the improvement cost prior to building permit issuance (See Revised Public
Works SeeffReport dated.7anuary 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 Works Staff Report dated.lanuary 5, 2016 states that, "Per ODOT,
construction will commence at the earliest passible date. " (See 'Traffic Impacts and
Mitigation Item No. 4)
h. During staffs 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, OIJO7 Planner, 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 5: Per the TIA, the proposed Costco Wholesale and fuel facility is expected to generate
10,670 new daily trips. 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 of opening traffic impacts were identified at four (4) intersections: 1) Interstate 5
Northbound Off -Ramp, 2) Table Rock and Hamrick Road,- 3) Table Rock and Airport Road, and
4) Airport and Diddle Road. Although not identifed in the TIA, the Cily of Medford provided
crash data and comments in a letter dated January 5, 2016 indicating that traffic generated by
Cosica would negatively impact the intersection of Table Rock Road and Morningside Street
south of the project site. In accordance with the TIA 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 I below).

Per the TIA, conditions ofapproval were established to address identified traffic impacts as .set
forth in binding 17.76.040(8), 17.76040(C)(2), and 17.76.040(E)(2) in the record below. No
other traffic .studies or testimony from 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 17.76040 in the record below).
Page 5 cf 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. 'Phe 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 oftransportation and infrastructure that is modern, efficient
and sensitive to the environment."
Finding 6. In considering the Conditional Use Application jar the proposed Membership
Warehouse andfuel 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 to 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. 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. This 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.
