V. PUBLIC APPEARANCES
VI. BUSINESS
A. Public meeting to review an application for a fence variance at 543 Mitchell Wad
applicant is reouestine that if portions of an existing fence be allowed to remain at a height of six
feet in a side vard setback where the code allows a maximum height of 42 inches The subject
property is located in the R-1-10 Residential Single Family zoning district on Map 372W l OBB
Tax Lot 512.
Ken Gerschler, Community Planner, presented the Planning Department Staff Report. The
applicants are requesting a variance from the 3 %2 foot height requirements for a portion of a
fence in the side yard setback. The side yard setback fora 6' high fence is 10' from the property
line. In order for the Planning Commission to grant the variance all the findings of fact and
conclusion of law must be met. Complying with the code does not appear to create an
unnecessary hardship on the applicant. Fourteen neighbors have signed a petition to keep the
fence where it is. The fence is within a Public Utility Easement, but a fence can be allowed
within this easement, as long as the property owner knows that a utility company can use the area
at anytime.
The Applicant, Richard T. Tibbets, 543 Mitchell's Way, stated he already had most of the fence
up before he got the permit and didn't notice the writing stating it had to be setback 10'. The
fence will provide protection for his children, as well as provide aesthetics to the neighborhood.
Road shall be 76'. The sidewalks and curb extensions will be part of the constn~ction drawings.
The Traffic Circle will be installed when 'T'aylor Road is realigned and improved.
The applicant, Brett Moore, stated construction at W. Pine and Haskell Street will commence in
mid-June. Mr. Moore stated he didn't think the Building Department Staff Report should be part
of the requirements since it is already required in the Building Code.
Debra Ratty, of 4090 Sunland Ave, asked about the added cars to Taylor Road, and the
improvements to the intersection of W. Pine and Haskell Street. She also asked about buffering
between the property and the new subdivision.
Brett Moore explained the traffic issue and the improvements. It will be up to her and her
husband to put up a fence along the property line.
Ms. Debenedetti stated that Mr. Moore was correct about the requirements being in the Building
Code, but she would like it added to the Staff Report as well.
Commissioner Fish made a motion to adopt Resolution Number 513, approving the
tentative subdivision subject to the recommended conditions of approval and all of the
department staff report recommendations. Commissioner Lunte seconded the motion.
ROLL CALL: Motion passed unanimously.
C. Public hearing to clarify the floodplain boundary for Unit 1 of the Griffen Oaks Subdivision
located north of Taylor Road and west of State Highwav 99
Matt Samitore, Planning Technician, presented the Planning Department Staff Report. Last year
when Griffen Oaks Phase 1 was platted one of the conditions of the Public Works Department
was to place all of the lots in Griffen Oaks Phase 1 in the 100-year floodplain. Upon further
investigation it was determined the City cannot expand the boundary shown on the FEMA maps
without appropriate justification. The staff has asked that the Commission consider a revised
map that depicts the accurate 100-year floodplain for Griffon Creek. This would take lots 7, 12,
13, 20 and 21 out of the floodplain.
Mr. Gerschler added that this will help when these lots are developed so that they will not have
be elevated and the future residents will not be required to pay for flood insurance.
Commissioner Fish made a motion to adopt Resohrtion Number 514, revising the
previously approved tentative plan, taking lots 7, 12, 13, 20 and 21 out of the 100 year
floodplain. Commissioner Lr~nte seconded the motion. Roll Call: Motion passed
unanimously.
VII. MISCELLANEOUS
Tom Humphrey, Planning Director, stated he would like to have a second meeting this month to
deal with a Site Plan application and for the Commission to look at the Master Plan for the area
near Scenic Middle School. The Commission Agreed to the meeting.
VIII. ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Lunte made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner LeGros
seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Motion passed unanimously. Meeting Adjourned at

HEARING DATE: March 2Q 2001
TO: Central Point Planning Commission
FROM: Tom Humphrey AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Public Hearing- Site Plan Review for 37 2W 03DC, Tax Lots 11-15 -Southern
Oregon Florists and Four Seasons Marine.
OFVners Richard Samuelson
337 East Pine Street
Central Point, Oregon 97502
Pro er
Description/ 37 2W 03DC, Tax Lots 11-15, - 0.59 acres.
Zonint: TOD-GC, Transit Oriented Development-General Commercial District
Summary:
The applicant has requested a Site Plan Review for the remodel and re-occupancy of two buildings
as a Boat Service and Repair shop and Wholesale/Limited Retail Florist Business (2,500 square feet
and 4,000 square feet respectively). The subject property is located in the new TOD General
Commercial zoning
district.
Authority:
CPMC 1.24.050 vests the Planning Commission with the authority to hold a public hearing and
render a decision on any application for a Site Plan. Notice of a Public Hearing is not required for
site plan review however the Commission may entertain public input during its deliberation on this
matter.
Applicahle Law•
CPMC 17.67.050 et seq. -Site Design Standards - TOD Districts
CPMC 17.72.010 et seq. -Site Plan, Landscaping and Construction Plan Approval
Discussion:
The owner, Richard Samuelson. is requesting site plan approval to remodel and reoccupy two
buildings on property fornrerly in the ownership of Central Point Plywood Sales. The letter of
project description states that the size and configuration of the Florist operation will use
approximately 1600 square feet of floor space for corporate offices, 1700 square feet for design,
work and storage area and 600 square feet for limited retail. The Marine Service and Repair
operation will use the majority of its internal floor area for mechanical boat repair and may add a
separate office area in the future.
Exterior improvements to the structures are proposed and include, but are not limited to painting,
awnings and new signs. The City will require parking and landscaping as coladitions to re-
occupancy. Now that the property is located in the TOD-GC zoning district there are some new
requirements with which the owner must comply. This includss landscaping near the buildings (3'
boxed areas) and the installation of a total of five trees (three are depicted on the site plan).
Driveway access will be taken directly from North Front Street as it was with the previous busiuess.
Sidewalks will ultimately be constructed alongNorth Front once jurisdictional control is established
and funding is identified.
The Planning Department has evaluated the project density and building distance requirements for
the zoning district and determined that the development is compliantwith the zoning ordinance. City
Staff and the applicants have met to discuss the site plan and work ottt off street parking and
improvements.
The Municipal Code for the TOD District requires one parking space for each 500 square feet of
floor area. Tree planting and live shrubs are associated with the new parking requirements. The
minimum number of parking spaces required for this development would be 13. The applicant has
met the off street parking requirement by providing 17 spaces (refer to Attachment A). The vehicle
maneuvering areas will all need to be paved and the parking stalls striped.
The Public Works Department has prepared recommendations (to be distributed during the meeting)
for on- and off-site improvements which are believed to be reasonably related to the proposed
development. These include, but are not limited to; sidewalk improvements; site grading and
drainage; on-site lighting; paving and utility (water, sewer and storm drain) connections or back
flow.
The Central Point Building Department will provide its input for consideration by the Commission
at the meeting. Jackson County Fire District Number 3 would like to review a set of blueprints and
plot plan from the applicant that shows general information, on-site water storage and/or hydrant
location. Bear Creek Valley Sanitary Authority has indicated that the property can be served with
sewer servtce.
Findings of tact & Conchtsions of Law:
Site Plan Review
In approving, conditionally approving or denying the plans submitted, the City bases it's decision
on the following standards from Section 17.72.040:
A. Landscaping and fencing and the construction of walls on the site in such a manner as to cause
the same to not substantially interfere with the landscaping scheme of the neighborhood, and in such
a manner to use the same to screen such activities and sights as might be heterogeneous to existing
neighborhood uses. The Commission may require the maintenance of existing plants or the
installation of new ones for purposes of screening adjoining property.
\1CPPDPDC1Ciry Wide\Planning\01019.wpd
2
^ The site plan shows landscaped areas distributed throughout the project area but a
finished landscape and irrigation plan was not submitted. The Planning Department
is recommending the submission of landscape and irrigation plans as a condition of
approval (Attachment "C").
B. Design, number and location of ingress and egress points so as to improve and to avoid
interference with the traffic flow on public streets;
^ Access is shown to be taken from North Pacific I3ighFVay. The Public Works
Department may require that improvements be installed on portions of the highway
to address the increased vehicular demand.
C. To provide off-street parking and loading facilities and pedestrian and vehicle flow facilities in
such a manner as is compatible with the use for which the site is proposed to be used and capable
of use, and in such a manner as to improve and avoid interference with the traffic flow on public
streets;
^ Table 3 of the TOD District Parking standards require that 13 parking spaces be
provided. Gaidelines in the new TOD GC zoning district permit 1 parking space per
500 square feet for a total of 13 in this case. The owner will provide 17 spaces or more
with associated landscaping and other improvements.
D. Signs and other outdoor advertising structures to ensure that they do not conflict with or deter
from traffic control signs or devices and that they are compatible with the design of their buildings
or uses and will not interfere with or detract from the appearance or visibility of nearby signs;
Any signage proposed for the project would require a building permit. Directional
signs and building address identification should be installed in a manner that satisfies
emet•gency service agencies. Signs located in sight vision areas determined by the
Public Works Standards shall not exceed 42 inches in height.
E. Accessibility and sufficiency of fire fighting facilities to such a standard as to provide for the
reasonable safety of life, limb and property, including, but not limited to, suitable gates, access roads
and fire lanes so that all buildings on the premises are accessible to fire apparatus;
The project, if approved, would need to meet any requirements ofJackson County Fire
District 3.
F. Compliance with all city ordinances and regulations;
The project as presented by the applicant is in compliance with the requirements of the
Central Point Municipal Code subject to the recommended conditions of approval.
G. Compliance with such architecture and design standards as to provide aesthetic acceptability in
6CPPDPDC\City Wide\Planning\01019.wpd
relation to the neighborhood and the Central Point area and it's environs.
^ The apartment complex is designed to be aesthetically compatihlewith the development
located in the surrounding area and meets the intention of the recently approved TOD
standards.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take one of the following actions:
1. Adopt Resolution No._, approving the Site Plan subject to the recommended conditions of
approval; or
2. Deny the proposed Site Plan; or
3. Continue the review of the Site Plan at the discretion of the Commission.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 20, 2001
TO: Central Point Planning Commission
FROM: Tom Humphrey AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Introduction of Comprehensive Plan and Municipal (Zoning) Map Amendments
for Scenic Neighborhood Housing, Commercial Rezoning and Street Design and
improvements.
Background
City Staff have been engaged in planning for a subarea of the City in the vicinity of Scenic
Middle School. A Draft Conceptual Development Plan was prepared by Crandall Arambula
planning consultants as part of the Transportation Growth Management (TGM) Quick Response
program funded by the State. The changes advocated in the plan will necessitate Comprehensive
Plan and municipal code changes and Planning staff is seeking preliminary feed back before this
process and a series of public hearings is initiated.
Discussion
The land use changes and new zoning being proposed are broken down into residential and
commercial uses that are aimed at using land more efficiently, improving a poorly designed
intersection, promoting better pedestrian and vehicular circulation and introducing innovative
housing techniques. The concepts being proposed could become new standards for development
in Central Point. One of the tasks of the Planning Commission is to determine whether existing
provisions (like PUDs) will accommodate the types of changes being proposed.
The Planning Commission is being asked to consider and comment on the Draft Conceptual
Development Plan and recommend its preference of options (Attachments A & B) which will
subsequently be processed as Comprehensive Ptan and Zoning Code text and map amendments.
The City has adopted a new Transportation Systems Plan (TSP) which should also be used to
consider any changes to this sub-area circulation plan. Excerpts from the DKS Associates traffic
study are enclosed as Attachment C.

Central Point Conceptual Development Plan
Background
This project is part of the Transportation and Growth
Management (TGM) Program of the Oregon Depart-
ment of Transportation (ODOn and the Oregon Depart-
ment of Land Conservation and Development (DECD),
The TGM program is intended to strengthen the ability of
local governments to manage growth effectively and to
comply with the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR). The
TGM program also helps to integrate transportation and
land use planning and encourages transportation-
efficient land uses, which in turn support both choices of
transportation modes and efficient performance of
transportation facilities and services.
For this project, the City of Central Point is working with
developer Brad Miller to develop a site he owns - a four
acre parcel adjacent to Scenic Middle School. His plan
is to develop that site into a residential area of manu-
factured homes. Within the framework of the TGM
program, Miller and the City of Central Point are working
to incorporate neighborhood design features into the
plan and to create atransportation-efficient design.
Key objectives for the project are to:
• Develop the site into a traditional neighborhood;
• Produce conceptual design, re-zoning and build-out
analysis for the parcel to the north of Miller's property, re-
zoning it as commercial to serve adjacent existing and
new neighborhoods;
• Redesign the intersection where Scenic Avenue, Tenth
Street, Third Street and Old Upton Road meet;
• Develop a plan for improved pedestrian and bike path-
ways in and around Scenic Middle School.
Specific issues to be addressed in the plan include the fol-
lowing:
Creating pedestrian-friendly streets;
Connecting the new neighborhood to the adjacent
existing Royal Heights neighborhood as well as to Scenic
Middle School and to both new and existing commercial
areas along Third Street;
Developing a site plan showing lot divisions, building
placement including setbacks, streets, alleys, and open
spaces.

evolved as plan alternatives were developed
and evaluated in response to the following
objectives:
• Provide affordable housing -Provide
housing for groups currently being
underserved, especially entry-level
homebuyers and lower income level
people.
• Use manufactured houses -Quality con-
structionand basic, efficient design from

photos.)
• Increase efficiency of land use - Provide
for compact development making opti-
mal use of Infrastructure investments,
open space amenities and access to
schools and neighborhood commercial
areas.
homes to commerclal areas, public
spaces, and transit connections. The
transportation network should include
connections to surrounding existing and
planned development.
• Mix of uses- Provide a mix of compat-
ible residential and commerclal land
uses, wh(ch will offer a variety of activi-
tiesand destinat(onsand wiliestablish a
neighborhood "node."
• Public spaces/ outdoor landscaped
spaces -Provide adequate public
spaces such as small parks, greenways,
shared walkways and courtyards where
residents can meet or relax.
• Transition between uses -Integrate the
new neighborhood Into existing com-
mercial, school, and residential areas,
with sensitive transitit(ons between the
different uses.
• Access to schools -Maintain and en-
hande the existing walkway across the
site.
• Use traditional neighborhood design prin-
ciples -Emphasize the pedestrian environ-
ment rather than the auto Infrastructure.
Building and Site Design -Promote building
and site design that each contr(bute posi-
tively to a sense of neighborhood and to
the overall streetscape by carefully relat-
ing building mass, frontages, entries, and
yards to public streets and adJacent prop-
erties.
Safe Environment: Promote a safe environ-
ment for residents and visitors during ail
hours of day and night. Design streets
which are safe for all residents, and homes
oriented to provide eyes on the street.

by curb extensions. Sidewalks will link the street to the pedes-
trian entry courtyards leading to the houses,
A pedestrian path leads north-south through the site, Iinking
Crown Avenue and the high school to the south with the
middle school to the north, Where this path meets the new
neighborhood lane, there will be a landscaped median and
raised crosswalk; these will slow down traffic and break up
the otherwise long stretch of the new street.

Central Point
Typical Courtyard Lot -Summary
The typical lot is 180' x 131' and contains six units. The units are grouped
in a U-shaped plan forming a pedestrian entry courtyard. The backs of
the houses form a corresponding U-shaped court for automobiles; each
unit has atwo-car garage.
Pedestrians can walk from the new neighborhood lane, under a plant-
covered arbor, and into the entry courtyard; benches flank these arbors.
These shared pedestrian courts are landscaped and offer a place for
meeting and relaxing, and lead to the front doors of the six homes.
Each house has its own outdoor space - a private courtyard off the kitchen
and dining area. Front units on the typical lot face the street; other units
i~ face into the shared pedestrian courtyard, with either porches or cov-
l~ ered stoops marking their entrances. All the shared outdoor areas are
landscaped with trees, shrubs, grass, and groundcover.
The auto court is also landscaped, its scored concrete surtace further
soffened by plant-covered arbors above the garage doors. The typicgl
lot is edged at the south by a pair of garages in the auto court and a pair
of homes, the "Stone Ridge" unit, at 1232 SF, in the pedestrian court.
The smallest units are in the middle of the lot -the "Alpha," at 924 SF; the
units opening onto the street are the "Arbor Walk," at 1129 SF.

The following memo summarizes our initial review ofthe traffic circulation impacts
for the residential development south of the existing Scenic Middle School in Cen-
tral Point, Oregon. The alternatives that have been developed combine various resi-
dential development schemes with circulation changes in the area. The following
sections summarize the trip generation of the proposed plan, circulation options and
our general fmdings.
TRIP GENERATION
Three scenarios have been proposed ranging from 26 to 42 new single family at- -~+
tached units. While these units would be attached, for conservative analysis we ~ ,~
have assumed that the trip generation would be for that of single family homes' . to A
Project trip generation from proposed and alternatives A and B are shown in Table O o
1. It is likely that actual trip generation may be 20 percent less. For this purpose,
Alternative B was tested using Apartment vehicle trip generation rates to provide a p
range of potential trip generation from the site. Even with the conservative assump- -
""". ~
tions, the proposed site would only generate between 20 and 50 vehicle trips in the O
~
PM peak hour.

Three intersection aligmnents and connector street plans (see page A-15) were evaluated
for the proposed street system. In Option A, the existing two, two-way stop controlled
intersections of Scenic Avenue/Upton Road and 10`h Street/3`d Street were shown as a
combined. four legged intersections. Scenic/10`h and Upton/3`d would remain through
streets. This intersection alignment would operate at good levels of service. The traffic
volumes are low enough that no left turn lanes would be required in the immediate near
term. This option would add connector streets at the following locations:
tion A:
• New Scenic Middle School access points (one opposite Crestwood, and one
attached to newly aligned 3`a Avenue.
• Frontage road along north side of proposed development ending at the west
property line.
^ Pedestrian connection from Scenic Middle School to Crown Avenue (through
proposed site).

Options B would create two, two-way stop controlled intersections with Scenic
Ave./Upton Road and 3rd Avenue110`h Street. It would connect Scenic Avenue with 3`d
Street as the main through street and Upton Road and 10"' Street would be minor street
stopped approaches. The intersections created with this alignment would operate at good
levels of service. This option would add connector streets at the following locations:
lion B:
^ New Scenic Middle School access points (one opposite Upton Road, and one
opposite l0ei Avenue).
^ New road from 3`d Avenue (serving the east parcel} ending at the Scenic
Middle School boundary.
• New road connection from Crown Ave (serving the west parcel) to the
proposed site.
Options C also creates two, two way stop controlled intersections with S cenic
Ave./Upton Road and 3`d Avenue/10`b Street. It would connect Upton Road with 3`d
Street as the main through street and Scenic Road and 10`h Street would be minor street .
stopped approaches. The intersections created with this alignment would operate at good
levels of services. This option would add connector streets at the following locaBons:
lion C:
New Scenic Middle School access points (one opposite Upton Road, and one
opposite 10`h Avenue).
Frontage road along north side of proposed development dead ending at
property line. 'T'his new road would have connection to Crown Avenue.
All of the options call fora 24-foot wide street section with no parking. It would have a
3-foot planter strip and 5-foot sidewalks on each side. This layout is similaz to the City of
Central Point Street Standazds proposed layout for a AResidential Lane@. It may be
desirable for the through streets to be configured as 28 foot residential streets so on-street
pazking would not impact traffic flow,
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN
The Central Point TSP does not specifically make any recommendations for the
intersection of 3`dlScenic/10`b/Upton. The County has a capital project planned that
allocates approximately $500,000 toward the realignment ofthe intersection. WYrile no
specific information regarding bicycle or pedestrian systems was obtained, it would
appeaz desirable that 3`d/Scenic/I Oa'/Upton would have sidewalks and bicycle lanes due
to the proximity to schools in the area

CONCLUSION
Alignment of 3`"/Upton/Scenidl0'b
Each of the altematives would have acceptable traffic capacity operation since the traffic volumes in the area
are not lazge. None of the altematives provide for left turning lanes, but some of the alternatives would create
greater need forthem.
Option A would have the most desirable traffic operational intersection alignment creating a four legged
intersection with Upton Road, Scenic Ave, 10'" Street, and 3'd Street. This would retain the through nature of
Upton/3`' and Scenic/10'". Key issues include:
• Limit unnecessary out of direction traffic that would be created with two separate T-intersections
• Creates significant unusable land and impacts right-of--way
• Turning traffic would not require turning lanes in the near term with a four leg intersection (because
volumes are through).
Option B alignment where Scenic/3'd is the through route retains many of the benefits of Option A, but creates
large left turn movements onto 10'^. The two tee intersections would be safer than existing conditions, without
right-of--way impacts of Option A.
• Creates out of direction traffic resulting in large left tom vohune that may require a left tom lane for
southbound toms onto 10'".
• Abetter use of land, without right-of--way impacts of Option A.
Option C also has two tee-intersections, but Upton/3`' is retained as the through route.
• Creates two lazge left turning volumes which add conflicts and is less desirable than Options A or B
• Minimal land impacts.
FINDING: Options A and B would be preferable altematives for realignment
Local Streets
Each of the options addresses connectivity in different ways. The most desirable elements of connectivity for
the area south and east of Scenic Middle School would include the following:
• Crown Avenue be connected from its existing stub street north to Scenic Middle School via apedestrian/
bicycle path. This should extend azound the southern edge of the school to the pedestrian entrances to the
school. While a full roadway connection would be desirable, the priority roadway connections aze noted
below. Enhancements to the pedestrian facilities (a sidewalk) should be considered to the south to Crater
High School, linking the two schools safely.
• Anew east-west roadway be developed through the proposed residential development site that would
connect Third Street to Comet Way. This should be a full roadway connection (28 feet wide) with side-
walks. Adjustments to the Scenic Middle School track would be required and the roadway would also
serve for loading to the middle school. Fire access would be substantially enhanced and the length of any
col-de-sac options would be undesirable.
• A local linkage (28 foot minimum) be developed north of the proposed site to intersection with either/and
Tenth and Upton. This connection should not be considered in lieu of the east-west link between Comet
and Third.
The position of the east-west roadway between Third and Comet should be to the north of the proposed site
to allow for shazed use/access for the school. Coordination with the school would be necessary to determine
the appropriate security measures. The school parking lotto the north could be linked to the east-west street
neaz Comet via a driveway that could be gated.
35
a
The proposed size oftheeast-west street (2A feet -while desirable forpedestrian friendliness) should be
considered to be wider. A 28 foot cross section has proven effective in settings similar to this one and is
of particular importance due to its proximity to the school. It may require shared right-of--way with
properties to the north.
The value of the recommended connectivity is that it can be staged over time between property owners
withoufimpacting the adjacent pazcels. Without the connectivity recommended, greater traffic loadings of
the 3'B/Upton/Scenic/10~' intersection would occur, resulting in left turning lane needs that otherwise may not
be warranted.
