The purpose of the project was to create amended land use strategies to develop land more efficiently and promote transit use in a number of communities, including Central Point. Model land use ordinances and design guidelines were an important result of the project. The project recommended that eight "TOD Districts" should be established in selected locations in the Rogue Valley. One of these TOD Districts is proposed for the northwest portion of the City of Central Point. It is proposed to feature a mix of medium and high- density residential uses, commercial services, civic uses, and parks and open space. A key element for the district includes accommodations for future transit service coupled with design features to encourage walking and bicycling. To further enhance transit service in the Rogue Valley, "Transit Corridors" were also recommended to help support transit service along major transit routes, such as Highway 99. The same mix of land uses for the districts is recommended for the corridors. However, it is recognized that the corridors are more fully developed, and that change to transit should be accomplished over time, and on a voluntary basis by property owners. The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code text and maps are intended to promote TOD design for the district and corridor areas in the city that are based upon the model RVCOG code and design guidelines. The amendments are summarized in the following pages. The complete text can be found in the exhibits as noted below. Comprehensive Plan Amendments The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments include a revised Comprehensive Plan Map that shows the location of the TOD District, the TOD Corridor, and a brief section of new text that introduces the TOD design concept. Please refer to the proposed Comprehensive Plan Map in Figure 2 and the draft plan text in Exhibit A — Central Point Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November 10, 2000 Page -3 Zoning Code Amendments Land Use Desianations and Procedures The proposed Zoning Code amendments include new code sections containing requirements and standards for the new zoning designations for the TOD District and new procedural requirements for major development applications within it. A summary of the zoning designations changes is provided below. Please refer to the proposed Zoning Map in Figure 3 and the draft Zoning Code sections in Exhibit B — Zoning Code Amendments for the complete version of the proposed amendments. Definitions for new or unfamiliar terminology used in the proposed TOD Zoning Code and Design Standards can also be found in Exhibit B. Design Standards Proper design and orientation of development becomes increasingly important as densities increase and different uses are closer together. In addition, much of the success to alternative transportation modes, such as walking and transit, relies on creating environments which are pleasant and convenient for people to use. Building design, setbacks, orientation, landscaping, etc. all play a part in providing these pedestrian-friendly environments. Design Standards in Exhibit C are also proposed to be part of the Zoning Code amendments. The TOD design standards address: • Circulation and Access Standards for streets, public access, and pedestrian and bicycle circulation; • Site Design Standards for retaining important on-site features, compatibility with existing structures, parking, landscaping, lighting, signs, and service areas; • Common Open Space Design Standards for location, size, and design; and • Building Design Standards regarding density transition, adjacent landscaping, architecture, and other design techniques to enhance compatibility between different uses within the development. The nature of the amendments varies between the TOD District, proposed for the largely unincorporated area in the northwest corner of the UGB, and the TOD Corridor, located along Rogue Valley Highway 99. Therefore, the description of the amendments is presented in separate subsections below.

Figure 3 Central Point ,k` Itic7.,,;. .� T}' ORDINANCE 1815 r ADOPTED DECEMBER 14, 2000 L I TOD DISTRICT Development Concept The concept for the proposed development is a Transit Oriented Development (TOD). A TOD is a mixed-use development comprised of residential, commercial, civic, and recreational land uses designed in a way that increases ridership on transit systems, provides a pedestrian oriented environment, provides a diversity of housing types, improves public infrastructure investment, enhances property value, and provides an identifiable sense of community and a better quality of life. A system of pedestrian and bicycle friendly streets and pathways are intended to link uses within the development, provide a network of connections to a bus transit hub near the center of the site, and connect with the community of Central Point. The residential zones will allow a combination of single-family detached housing, town homes, condominiums, apartment buildings, apartments over ground floor commercial and office space, and a senior center. The commercial and office space are planned to provide employment opportunities and services such as retail sales and service, professional offices, and daycare to the residents of Central Point. The parks and open spaces are planned to be an integral part of the TOD District. All residents of the TOD will be able to walk or ride a bicycle to a park or open space within one-quarter mile of their residence. The parks and open spaces are intended to provide opportunities for passive and active recreation and to protect and enhance natural resources and habitat. The new TOD District designation is intended to compliment existing land uses within the District. TOD-LMR zoning is proposed east of Hwy 99 and north of Crater High. TOD-MMR, TOD-EC, and TOD-GC are proposed south of Crater High and compliment the proposed TOD zoning west of Hwy 99. This concentration of uses is intended to strengthen and anchor the western end Central Point's CBD. Land Use Designation Summary The proposed Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map designations for the TOD District are: • Residential (TOD) This category would include three residential designations with densities ranging from 6 to 30+ units per acre. TOD-LMR - Low Mix Residential Zone TOD-MMR - Medium Mix Residential Zone TOD-HMR - High Mix Residential/Commercial Zone • Employment (TOD) — Comprehensive Plan Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November 1,000 Page -7 Two commercial designations are proposed which will be compatible with and supportive of the transit-oriented district. TOD-EC — Employment Commercial Zone TOD-GC — General Commercial Zone • Civic (TOD) — Comprehensive Plan TOD-C Zone will apply to civic uses such as government offices, schools, and community centers are the primary uses intended in this district. • Open Space (TOD) — Comprehensive Plan TOD-OS Zone is intended to provide a variety of outdoor and recreation amenities. Table 1 Land Use Summary—TOD District Zone Designation Acreage Density (TOD) Units/Acre Residential LMR 129 6 - 12 MMR 53 16 - 32 HMR 53 30+ Employment EC 37 N/A GC 27 N/A Civic C 56 N/A Open Space OS 60 N/A Residential TOD TOD-LMR - Low Mix Residential Location The TOD-LMR designation is proposed to be located in the north, west, and southwest portions of the TOD District (Figure 3). The lower density in these areas is intended to Central Point Draft TOD CPA2C Proposal November 10, 2000 Page -8 provide a suitable transition between the district and the low density residential uses outside of the district. Land Uses and Building Types The TOD-LMR designation will allow single-family detached dwellings, single-family dwellings with 0-foot setbacks, and lower density multiple family dwellings. Commercial or industrial uses are not allowed in this zone. Density The required density range will be 6 to 12 units per acre. TOD-MMR - Medium Mix Residential Location The TOD-MMR designation is proposed to be located between the LMR and the higher density/intensity uses in the center of the TOD District Figure 3). The moderate density in these areas is intended to continue the transition from lower density residential uses on the perimeter of the TOD District to the more densely developed center of the district. Land Uses and Building Types The TOD-MMR designation will allow single-family dwellings with 0-foot setbacks, and a full range of multiple family dwellings. Commercial or industrial uses are not allowed in this zone. Density The required density range will be 16 to 32 units per acre. TOD-HMR - Hiah Mix Residential/Commercial Location The TOD-HMR designation is proposed to be located in the center of the TOD District, along Haskell Road, and in the Central Business District on a section of Manzanita and Oak Street (Figure 3). Land Uses and Building Types The only residential uses in the TOD-HMR designation will be a range of multiple family dwellings. Because of the higher residential densities, support activities, such as retail sales and service, professional offices, and daycare are permitted in addition to multiple family residences. Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November`10,;2000 Page-9 P Density The required density will be a minimum of 30 units per acre. ' Employment (TOD) TOD-EC — Employment Commercial Location ' The TOD-EC designation is proposed to be located on the east and west side of Rogue Valley Highway 99 and north of Crater Higher School and on Pine Street from Haskell Road to North 6th Street (Figure 3). These designations primarily reflect existing development and uses. Having employment, retail, and service activities with convenient transit availability is an important element of the TOD. ' Land Uses and Building Types ' Commercial uses are the primary permitted activities. Multiple family uses are also permitted above the ground floor, and civic and open space uses may also be allowed. Industrial activities are not permitted. Density There are no minimum density or commercial floor area requirements. TOD-GC — General Commercial Location The TOD-GC designation is proposed to be located on the east side of Rogue Valley Highway 99 north of Pine Street (Figure 3). Similar to the EC designation, the GC designation primarily reflects existing development and uses. Convenient transit access is an important characteristic of this area. Land Uses and Building Types The emphasis of this designations shifts from the commercial/residential focus of the EC designation to one, which includes industrial activities and excludes residential and civic uses. Density There are no minimum density or commercial/industrial floor area requirements. Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal a tJ, Z000 Page - 10 Civic (TOD) Location The TOD-C designation is proposed to be located in the center of the TOD District, the Crater High School property, and the Mae Richardson Elementary School property. The TOD-C designation is also located in the vicinity of Pine Street between North 6th and 7th and along Oak Street between 2nd and 3rd (Figure 3). Land Uses and Building Types The intent of this designation is to provide necessary civic uses for the community, such as schools, post offices, public offices, and similar uses. The uses allowed are proposed to be compatible with the residential neighborhoods that generally surround them. Institutions, such as colleges and hospitals, which can have a wide range of potential impacts, are subject to conditional use review. Open Space (TOD) Location The TOD-OS designation is proposed to be located along Griffin and Jackson Creeks as well as the north-central portion of the TOD District. TOD-OS is also located in downtown Central Point between Laurel and Manzanita Streets and North 6th and North 7th Streets (Figure 3). Land Uses and Building Types The intent of this designation is to provide necessary open space for the community and protection of environmentally sensitive areas. The uses allowed are proposed to be compatible with and complement the residential neighborhoods that generally surround them. Only park and open space uses are permitted. TOD CORRIDOR Development Concept The TOD Corridor Zoning designation is intended to promote efficient land development and the increased use of transit as proposed in the 1999 Transit Oriented Design and Transit Corridor Development Strategies for the Rogue Valley Transportation District Report. In the context of the Rogue Valley region, the Central Point TOD Corridor will be one of several bus transit corridors which form links to a network of destinations. The increased densities along these corridors provides the ridership needed to commit funds to increase service frequency making bus transit a more viable means of transportation. In addition to the TOD District, the corridor is another important link in what is envisioned to be a region-wide system to increase reliance on public transit and decrease use of the automobile. Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November 10 2000 Page - 11 The TOD Corridor stretches from Pine Street to Beall Lane and include properties on both sides of Hwy 99. Hwy 99 is a proposed future transit/bus route. The TOD Corridor overlay design standards work in tandem with the overlay zoning. The design standards address issues such as circulation, building design, site design, and open spaces. The intent is to create pedestrian oriented development areas that provide opportunities to use multiple forms of transit and have convenient access to quality open spaces. Land Use Designation Summary The TOD Corridor includes the TOD-GC, TOD-EC, and TOD-MMR designations described earlier under the TOD District information. These uses include medium density and multifamily housing, commercial, and industrial uses. The Corridor is not proposed to have the TOD Civic or Open Space designations. The existing zoning designations and the corresponding optional TOD Corridor zoning districts are listed in Table 2 and shown in Figure 3. The major difference from the TOD District is that the existing Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations in the TOD Corridor are proposed to remain and the new TOD designations represent optional standards that may be applied in lieu of the existing requirements. The decision of which set of standards to use rests with the property owners. The TOD Corridor zoning designations will generally allow property owners to develop their properties more intensively and with greater options, including mixing uses such as commercial and residential. The potential for greater densities and mixed uses can create a more viable neighborhood based on a variety of housing types and commercial or industrial activities.

Because the east and southeast portions of the TOD District and the entire TOD Corridor are generally developed, utilities and services are currently provided. Although some of these properties will probably redevelop according to the proposed TOD standards proposed herein, the impact on utilities and services is anticipated to be minimal. Specific development project impacts will continue to be evaluated during the application review process.

Adequate water service and capacity are available to the site. A 12" water main runs parallel along the east side of Highway 99. In addition, there are existing 4" and 16" Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal rr - Pae-20 tJ6r`rt•a i;; � ;! �� 9 water mains that come to the eastern edge of the Pine Street Station area and a 12" line under Taylor Road. Proposed The primary sources of water service will come from the City's existing 12" water main that runs parallel to the east side of Highway 99, a 12" main that runs parallel to Scenic Avenue north of the site, and a 12" main under Taylor Road south of the site. Other connections will be made to the existing 4" and 16" water mains that come to the eastern edge of the Pine Street Station area. The proposed water distribution system within the site will consist of water mains that run beneath the proposed street system. The collector streets typically have a 12" service line and an 8" line typically will service the local streets. The system will be looped to assure adequate pressure distribution throughout. Sanitary Sewer Existing Bear Creek Valley Sanitary Sewer Authority currently supplies wastewater service within the City limits. Adequate sewage service and capacity is available to the site. Potential connections include the existing manhole on the eastern edge of the site approximately 400' north of Pine Street, the existing 36" Sewer Trunk line that passes below the proposed extension of Haskell Street and continues along to the proposed railroad crossing and the existing manhole and 15" sewer main on the east side of Highway 99 on Scenic Avenue. Proposed Sewage will generally drain through a gravity fed system of underground pipes from south to north, consistent with the existing topography. A portion of the most southern part of the site (Pine Street Station) will connect to the existing manhole on the eastern edge of the site, approximately 400' north on Pine Street. The remaining areas of Pine Street Station to the north, and the Griffin Oaks Subdivision will connect to the existing 36" Sewer Trunk line that passes below the proposed extension of Haskell Street. The area around the Central Green will also connect to the existing 36" Sewer Trunk line close to the proposed railroad crossing to the east. The remaining neighborhoods to the west and north will connect to the existing manhole and 15" sewer main on the east side of Highway 99 on Scenic Avenue. Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November 10, 2000 Page -21 Storm Sewer Existing Generally, storm water currently flows from south to north and into either Griffin Creek to the east or Jackson Creek to the west. Griffin and Jackson Creeks are within and adjacent to the project site. Proposed Four storm drainage management basins are proposed for the site. Storm water drainage will be treated and conveyed primarily through a series of surface facilities including biofiltration swales and detention basins that occur within the designated open space areas of the development. Overflow from these facilities will ultimately flow to either Jackson or Griffin Creeks, as it does today. Electricity/Telephone/Cable Existing Electric service and capacity is available to the site. The electric service provider is Pacific Power and Light. US West provides telephone service. Proposed Electric service to the site will be provided through a series of underground conduits that follow the grid street system. Gas Existing Natural gas service and capacity is available to the site. The gas company is Avista Utilities.

L I I I L. L Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November 10,2000 Page- 24 APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA Applicable review criteria for the proposed TOD District and Corridor provisions are contained in the following documents: The Central Point Comprehensive Plan The City of Central Point Municipal Code The planning requirements are summarized followed by a response to show how the application is consistent with them. THE CENTRAL POINT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Section I — Planning Process Citizen Involvement The goal and policies of this section require citizen participation in all phases of the planning process. Response: The planning process for this Comprehensive Plan Amendment began in May 1999. The public has been notified by the City Planning Department of numerous public open houses, Citizen Advisory Committee meetings, and public workshops aimed toward educating the citizens of Central Point about the benefits of Transit Oriented Developments. Information was also disseminated city-wide on more than one occasion using Central Point newsletters and water billing media. Procedures for Plan Revision This section describes the process for amending the Comprehensive Plan including involvement of a Citizen's Advisory Committee, Planning Commission and City Council, public notice, hearings, and coordination with Jackson County. Response: The Transportation System Plan (TSP) development, review and adoption has been in the works for over sixteen months and involved the continuous participation of the City's Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). The CAC met monthly, and sometimes twice a month, to discuss TSP goals, objectives and standards that were consistent with the State's Transportation Planning Rule. Central Point's Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and Corridor Overlay Areas have been incorporated into the TSP and are also Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November 10,2000 Page- 25 more generally described in the Rogue Valley Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). TOD informational meetings and workshops have been conducted over the past twelve months in open forums at public schools. Work study sessions have included members of the CAC, Planning Commission, City Council and School District #6 Board of Directors. Goal and Objectives for the Comprehensive Plan ' The goal for the Comprehensive Plan states: To determine future growth of the present city to the mutual benefit of the public by consideration of proper land use planning incorporating statewide goals and guidelines and the adoption of policies to ensure a logical, orderly planning process. This goals is followed by nine objectives: 1. Provide for an orderly and reasonable expansion of the Central Point urbanizing L area. Response: The proposed amendments do not include any expansion of the city's "urbanizing area". The TOD District primarily includes land that must be annexed prior to development, but the entire area is within the city's present urban growth boundary. 2. Encourage the enhancement of private property values and quality of life through a compatible arrangement of land uses. Response: A major emphasis is placed upon compatibility between existing and proposed land uses within and near the TOD District and Corridor. Transitions in density created by the proposed land use designations and the design standards will act to maintain and, in many cases, enhance property values and the quality of life in the city. 3. Provide flexibility of residential neighborhoods and housing opportunities to meet the changing needs of a growing population. Response: The proposed TOD District and Corridor will allow a full range of housing densities and styles. This mixture of residences, from detached single family residential to a variety of higher density options, will give the community the flexibility it needs to respond to changing housing needs. L4. Provide well-balanced and convenient shopping opportunities for the residents of the Community. ',I L Response: The proposed TOD District and Corridor are designed to provide a mixture of Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November 10,2000 Page -26 i residential and commercial uses. The District land use designations will provide for conveniently located commercial services within the District. In addition, the proposed street designs which include pedestrian and bicycle facilities will afford safe and convenient access between the TOD District and other destinations within the city, including downtown. 5. Provide ease of access and circulation throughout the community through an improved circulation/transportation system, and properly planned extensions to that system. Response: The proposed street design standard will provide an appropriate range of designs for local, collector, and arterial streets to serve the TOD District and Corridor. In addition to vehicular traffic, the designs accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists with sidewalks and bicycle lanes on major streets. 6. Provide increased localized employment opportunities within the community through expansion of the commercial and industrial base. Response: The TOD District is primarily intended to be a residential community, however, it will provide some additional employment opportunities with the service commercial and civic land use designations. The TOD Corridor will continue to be allowed to retain the existing businesses or to redevelop these properties with new employment uses which could be established individually or as part of a mixed use development. In summary, the TOD District and Corridor will generally retain the existing businesses and provide the option for a wider range of business and employment opportunities in the future. 7. Provide for the most logical and economical expansion of community facilities and services to accommodate the Plan's proposed land uses and continued growth of the City. Response: The TOD District is largely undeveloped, but as demonstrated in this application, the basic utility facilities and services are available to the site. Primary utility capacity, such as wastewater treatment and major trunk lines, are sufficient to accommodate the proposed development within the District. Service area expansions can be accomplished efficiently because of the proximity of District to the city limit and the Corridor location within the current city limit. Because the site has been within the city UGB for a considerable time, utility and service planning has acknowledged the ultimate urbanization of this site. The TOD Corridor area is predominantly developed, and utilities and services are presently available. Future changes in land use may necessitate utility improvements, but these are anticipated to be minor. The utility improvements needed to serve the District or the Corridor will be provided as development of the Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November 10,2000 Page -27 site occurs. 8. Ensure the protection and enhancement of existing natural environmental features ' and productive agricultural lands through responsible land use planning and development controls. EResponse: The TOD District includes an open space designation to be applied in part to protect environmentally sensitive areas, such as Griffith Creek. As noted previously, the land use designations for the TOD District provide for a density transition between the high-density core area and the adjacent lands on the perimeter of the site. The TOD District and Corridor promote higher density land use than currently allowed by the city. This will promote more efficient use of land within the city's UGB, reducing the pressure to expand the UGB into resource lands to accommodate growth. 9. Plan for a system of parks and recreation facilities, areas and opportunities that is accessible to all residents and in balance with growth and development. Response: The land use designations for the TOD District (Figure 3) include a significant amount of civic, park, and open space land. Approximately 14 percent of the total area of the TOD District will be dedicated as parks and open space. Parks and open space are planned to be within easy access for residents of the TOD District, as well as those outside. Master planning within the District will, indeed, develop a "system" of parks and recreation facilities that will tie the neighborhood together and benefit the community of Central Point in general. L THE CITY OF CENTRAL POINT MUNICIPAL CODE L Chapter 2.17 — Citizen Advisory Committee Section 2.17.030 - Powers and Duties The Citizen Advisory Committee is responsible for providing recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council regarding land use planning matters. Response: The Citizen Advisory Committee has met and reviewed the proposed changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan and has recommended the proposed changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan be forwarded to the Planning Commission for Review Section 2.17.050 - Purpose and Operation This section includes six basic provisions that are intended to implement the citizen Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November 10,2000 Page -28 1 involvement requirements in the City's Comprehensive Plan. These are: A. Citizen Involvement B. Communication C. Citizen Influence D. Technical Information E. Feedback Mechanisms F. Financial Support. Response: Citizen involvement relative to the TSP and TOD comprehensive planning has come in the form of public workshops; open houses; newsletter dissemination; newspaper articles; public opinion surveys; work study sessions with elected officials; conversations with affected property owners; technical meetings with utility companies and one-on-one visits with state and local representatives (DL CD, ODOT, DEQ and OECD and Housing.) Financial support for TSP work has come from a TGM grant and the City of Central Point. TOD comprehensive planning has been funded by the City and from private sources, primarily affected property owners who have voluntarily invested. Chapter 17.88 — Amendment Section 17.88.010 — Procedure This section allows for amendments to the zoning code and map. Response: The proposed amendments to the zoning code and map are allowed by this section. Section 17.88.020 — Initiation This section allows the city and/or property owners to initiate amendments to the zoning code or map. I Response: The proposed amendment has been properly initiated by the City of Central Point. ' Section 17.88.030 -Application and Review This section allows the city to assess fees to cover administrative costs. ' Response: The cost of preparing this application has been largely borne by the developer of the TOD site. Central Point Draft TOD CPA/ZC Proposal November 10, 2000 Page - 29 Section 17.88.040 —Action by Commission or Council This section describes the process, which is followed to review and approve amendments. Response: The City will follow the process described in this section by holding a public hearing with the Planning Commission to develop a recommendation for consideration and final decision by the City Council.

As part of this project, a transit-oriented community was identified for a 194-acre property located in the northwest portion of the city of Central Point. The guiding principle behind the TOD is to L provide a development with a complementary mix of residential, service, and civic uses to create a livable, energy-efficient community. Consistent with the RVCOG plan, the Central Point TOD project is a proposed 1,400-unit residential L development located in the northwest portion of the city of Central Point. It is intended to feature a mix of different housing types and densities ranging from single family detached homes to multi-story multi-family residences. The entire development will feature a community center with neighborhood commercial uses, a park, a primary school, and transit facilities. The city of Central Point will continue to be the northern Lterminus for transit service provided along the Rogue Valley Highway 99 corridor. To complement the TOD districts and transit routes in the Rogue Valley, TOD Corridors were also L designated in the RVCOG project. In Central Point, the TOD Corridor lies on either side of Rogue Valley Highway 99, immediately south of the TOD District. Land Use 1 The TOD District includes four basic land use designations, as shown on the official city zoning map. 1. Residential (TOD) I This category includes three residential designations with densities ranging from 6 to 30+ units per acre. • LMR- Low Mix Residential I • MMR- Medium Mix Residential • HMR - High Mix Residential /Commercial 2. Employment (TOD) ITwo commercial designations will be compatible with and supportive of transit oriented district. I • EC— Employment Commercial • GC—General Commercial 3. C - Civic (TOD) ICivic uses such as government offices, schools, and community centers are the primary uses intended in this district. I4. OS - Open Space (TOD) City of Central Point Draft Comprehensive Plan Amendments Novembere10,°2000 Exhibit A Page- 1 1 This zone is intended to provide a variety of outdoor and recreation amenities. The TOD Corridor will include many, but not all, of the TOD District zoning districts described above. The application of the TOD zones in the Corridor will be different because property owners will have the option of following either the base zone requirements or the TOD Corridor zoning requirements. The base zone and TOD zone designations will be shown on the city zoning map. In addition to the use districts, the TOD Zone features special design standards which are also based upon the RVCOG model ordinance. These design standards address: 1. Circulation and Access Standards for streets, public access, and pedestrian and bicycle circulation. 2. Site Design Standards for retaining important on-site features, compatibility with existing structures, parking, landscaping, lighting, signs, and service areas. 3. Common Open Space Design Standards for location, size, and design. 4. Building Design Standards regarding density transition, adjacent landscaping, architecture, and other design techniques to enhance compatibility between different uses within the development. Development Review Process 1 Development of the TOD District is subject to a specific review process outlined in the Zoning Code. Similar to a PUD, it will provide design flexibility, while affording appropriate control of development by the city. The TOD Corridor will give the land owner the option of following the base zoning or the TOD requirements. Annual Review The TOD related provisions in the City of Central Point Zoning code shall be reviewed annually.

The characteristics of these zoning districts are summarized in subsections A. through D. A. Residential (TOD) 1. LMR - Low Mix Residential This is the lowest density residential zone in the district. Single family detached residences are intended to be the primary housing type, however attached single family, and lower density multi-family housing types are also allowed and encouraged. 2. MMR - Medium Mix Residential This medium density residential zone focuses on higher density forms of residential living. The range of housing types includes higher density single family and a variety of multi- family residences. Low impact commercial activities may also be allowed. 3. HMR - High Mix Residential/ Commercial This is the highest density residential zone intended to be near the center of the TOD District. High density forms of multi-family housing are encouraged along with complementary ground floor commercial uses. Low impact commercial activities may also be allowed. Low density residential uses are not permitted. City of Central Point Draft Zoning Ordinance—TOD Districts/Corridors/Process November 30, 2000 Exhibit B Page 2 B. Employment(TOD) 1. EC— Employment Commercial Retail, service, and office uses are primarily intended for this district. Activities which are oriented and complementary to pedestrian travel and transit are encouraged. Automobile oriented activities are generally not included in the list of permitted uses. Residential uses above ground floor commercial uses are also consistent with the purpose of this zone. 2. GC— General Commercial Commercial and industrial uses are primarily intended for this district. Development is expected to support pedestrian access and transit use. Because of the more intense nature of the businesses allowed, mixed residential uses are not permitted. C. C - Civic (TOD) Civic uses such as government offices, schools, and community centers are the primary uses intended in this district. These uses can play an important role in the vitality of the TOD District. D. OS - Open Space (TOD) Because the density of development will generally be higher than other areas in the region, providing open space and recreation opportunities for the residents and employees in the TOD District becomes very important. This zone is intended to provide a variety of outdoor and recreation amenities. 17.65.050 Zoning Regulations - TOD District A. Permitted Uses Permitted uses in Table 1 are shown with a "P".

City of Central Point Draft Zoning Ordinance—TOD Districts/Corridors/Process November 30,2000 Exhibit B Page 13 1 I 17.65.060 Land Use — TOD Corridor Four special zone district categories are applied in the Central Point TOD Corridor. The characteristics of these zoning districts are summarized in subsections A. through D. A. Residential (TOD) 1. LMR - Low Mix Residential This is the lowest density residential zone in the district. Single family detached residences are intended to be the primary housing type, however attached single family, and lower density multi-family housing types are also allowed and encouraged. Theasal housing types within this zone are intended to support pedestrian-friendly access beyond 500 feet of the primary transit route. ,- 2. MMR - Medium Mix Residential This medium density residential zone focuses on higher density forms of residential living. The range of housing types includes higher density single family and a variety of multi- family residences and is intended to support pedestrian-friendly access within 500 feet of the primary transit route. Low impact commercial activities may also be allowed. B. Employment (TOD) 1. EC—Employment Commercial Retail, service, and office uses are primarily intended for this district. Activities which are oriented and complementary to pedestrian travel and transit are encouraged. Automobile oriented activities are generally not included in the list of permitted uses. Residential uses above ground floor commercial uses are also consistent with the purpose of this zone. City of Central Point Draft Zoning Ordinance—TOD Districts/Corridors/Process November0,2000 Exhibit B Page 14 2. GC—General Commercial Commercial and industrial uses are primarily intended for this district. Development is expected to support pedestrian access and transit use. Because of the more intense nature of the businesses allowed, mixed residential uses are not permitted. 17.65.070 Zoning Regulations - TOD Corridor A.

In recognition of the need to use natural resources carefully and with maximum benefit, the use of 'sustainable design' practices is strongly encouraged. In consideration of the climate and ecology of the Central Point area, a variety of strategies can be used to effectively conserve energy and resources: a. Natural ventilation; b. Passive heating and cooling; c. Daylighting; d. Sun-shading devices for solar control; e. Water conservation; f. Appropriate use of building mass and materials; and g. Careful integration of landscape and buildings. It is recommended that an accepted industry standard such as the U.S. Green Building Council's LEEDTM program* be used to identify the most effective strategies. Information on the LEEDTM program can be obtained from the U.S. Green Building Council's web-site www.usabc.ora 2. All development along pedestrian routes shall be designed to encourage use by pedestrians by providing a safe, comfortable, and interesting walking environment. 3. Convenient, direct and identifiable building access shall be provided to guide pedestrians between pedestrian streets, accessways, transit facilities and adjacent buildings. 4. Adequate operable windows or roof-lights should be provided for ventilation and summer heat dissipation. B. Architectural Character 1. General: • City of Central Point Draft Design Standards—TOD Districts&TOD Corridors November 10,2000 Exhibit'C-Section 17.67.070 Page 1 a. The architectural characteristics of surrounding buildings, including historic buildings, should be considered especially if a consistent pattern is already established by similar or complementary building articulation, building scale and proportions, setbacks, architectural style, roof forms, building details and fenestration patterns, or materials. In some cases, the existing context is not well defined, or may be undesirable. In such cases, a well- designed new project can establish a pattern or identity from which future development can take its cues. b. Certain buildings, because of their size, purpose or location, should be given prominence and distinct architectural character, reflective of their special function or position. Examples of these special buildings include theaters, hotels, cultural centers, and civic buildings. c. Attention should be paid to the following architectural elements: 1) Building forms and massing; 2) Building height; 3) Rooflines and parapet features; 4) Special building features (e.g. towers, arcades, entries, canopies, signs, and artwork); 5) Window size, orientation and detailing; 6) Materials and color; and 7) The buildings relationship to the site, climate, topography and surrounding buildings. 2. Commercial and High Mix Residential: a. Buildings shall be built to the sidewalk edge for a minimum of 75 percent of their site's primary street frontage along collector and arterial streets in C, EC, GC, and HMR zones unless the use is primarily residential or the activity that constitutes the request for increased setback is intended to increase pedestrian activity, i.e. pedestrian plaza or outdoor seating area. City of Central Point Draft Design Standards—TOD Districts&TOD Corridors - :r i E; F_xhipi Q,I Section 17.67.070 Page 2 b. Commercial structures and multi-dwellings should be sited and designed to provide a sensitive transition to adjacent lower density residential structures, with consideration for the scale, bulk, height, setback, and architectural character of adjacent single-family dwellings. c. In multi-dwelling structures, the plan layout, orientation and window treatment of the building design should not infringe upon the privacy of other adjacent dwellings. C. Building Entries 1. General: a. The orientation of building entries shall: 1) Orient the primary entrance toward the street rather than the parking lot. 2) Connect the building's main entrance to the sidewalk with a well-defined pedestrian walkway. b. Building facades over two 200 feet in length facing a street shall provide two (2) or more public building entrances off the street. c. All entries fronting a pedestrian accessway shall be sheltered with a minimum 4-foot overhang or shelter. d. An exception to any part of the requirements of this section shall be allowed upon finding that: 1) The slope of the land between the building and the pedestrian street is greater than 1:12 for more than 20 feet and that a more accessible pedestrian route to the building is available from a different side of the building; or City of Central Point Draft Design Standards-TOD Districts&TOD Corridors November 10,2000 Exhibit C-Section 17.67.070 Page 3 1 2) The access is to a courtyard or clustered development and identified pedestrian accessways ' are provided through a parking lot to directly connect the building complex to the most appropriate major pedestrian route(s). ' 2. Commercial and High Mix Residential: ' a.

Definitions of Land Use Types I k The purpose of the section is to classify land uses and activities into use categories for the TOD District and Corridor in Chapters 17.65, 17.66, and 17.67 on the basis of common functional, product, or physical characteristics. I Characteristics include the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, and certain site factors. The types of uses allowed in the various zones are based on the goals and Ipolicies of the Comprehensive Plan. B. Considerations I1. Uses are assigned to the category whose description most closely describes the nature of the primary use. Developments may have more 1 than one primary use, and accessory activities may also be present. Primary and accessory uses are addressed in Subsections 2. and 3. below. L 2. The following factors are considered to determine what category the use g is in, and whether the activity(ies) constitute primary or accessory uses: L a. The description of the activity(ies) in relationshipto the p Y( ) characteristics of each use category; Lb. The relative amount of site or floor space and equipment devoted to the activity; c. The relative amount of sales from each activity; Ld. The number and type of customers for each activity; e. The relative number of employees in each activity; f. Hours of operation; Lg. Building and site arrangement; h. The number and type of vehicles used with the activity; i. The relative number of vehicle trips generated by the activity(ies); I j. Signs; k. How the use advertises itself; and L City of Central Point DRAFT—November IO,2000 Zoning Ordinance—TOD District/Corridor Definitions Exhibit D Page 1 P I. Whether the activity(ies) would be likely to be found independent of the other activities on the site. 3. Multiple Primary Uses When a development has a number of primary uses that fall within one use category, then the development is assigned to that use category. For example, if a development includes a grocery store and pharmacy, the development would be classified as a commercial retail sales and service use. When the primary uses in a development are within different use categories, each primary use is classified in the applicable category and is subject to the regulations for that category. 4. Accessory Uses These uses are allowed by right and are regulated in conjunction with the primary use unless otherwise stated in this title. 5. Examples and Exceptions To help illustrate the types of uses allowed or not allowed under a specific uses category, examples and/or exceptions are given. They are based on the common meaning of the terms and not on what a specific use may call itself. C. Residential Use Types: NOTE: * More up-to-date than existing or similar ZC definition.
