Concerning the Annexation of Lands Within the City of Central Point's Urban le
Growth Boundary Crag
and the Buffering of Bear Creek Corporation's Orchard which lies within the
Boundary
WHEREAS, An annexation proposal(Partners Trust Company and Kevin Nering)for lands north of
Bear Creek Corporation's Orchard has been submitted to the City of Central Point. Policy 9(B) of the
City/ County Urban Growth Boundary Agreement requires that the City assure compliance with the
agricultural buffering criteria listed in the policy. Policy 9(C)requires that the City and County mutually
agree in writing that the findings and buffeting criteria have been satisfied.
WHEREAS, The territory proposed for annexation is separated from the Orchard by Biddle Road, a five
lane roadway which includes an eighty foot wide right-of-way. This distance combined with the City of
Central Points rear yard setback for R-3 lands, would provide a minimum 90 foot buffer between any
future dwellings and the Orchard. The City agrees to maximize the distance separating the Orchard from
development on lots north and adjacent to Biddle Road by requiring the dwelling to be orientated away
from Biddle Road, and enlarging the rear yard setback to the degree possible pursuant to the City's
Zoning Ordinance.
WHEREAS, This distance is less than is typically required for urban uses adjacent to agricultural lands
lying outside urban growth boundaries. But, the reduced setback is justified due to the fact that the
Orchard is included within the Central Point Urban Growth Boundary and the joint City/County UGB
Agreements prohibition on conversion of the Orchard to an urban use expired in 1995 (UGB
Agreement Policy#9(AXi)).
WHEREAS, The 90 foot set-back is considered appropriate in light of the City's and County's obligation
to carry out Statewide Planning Goal 14; "to provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to
urban land use:A key consideration in the designation of the Central Point Urban Growth Boundary,
as well as this decision,is the need to achieve 'maximum efficiency of land uses within and on the hinge
of the existing urban area (Goal 14,factor 4). Providing for a wider permanent setback would result in
lower densities than planned within the QWs Comprehensive Plan.
NOW THEREFORE,the City and County mutually agree that the findings and buffering aiteria
specified in Policy number 9B of the joint City/ County Urban Growth Boundary Agreement,have
been met in regards to the annexation of lands immediately to the north of the Orchard.
