Consideration of a Nanconforming Desi~nation of a buildiYig far the proposed operation of
professional offices. The buiiding zs located in the Transit Oriented De~Telopment District {TOD}
High Mix ResidentiallCommercial (HMR) zoning district and identified on the Jackson County
Assessor's map as 37S 2W 02CC, T~ Lat 2200. The proposed space is located at 524
Manzanita Street, Central Point, OR 97502 (Applicant: Rague Federal Credit Union; Agent:
CSA Planning LtdJCrt~ig Stone)
STAFF S~URCE:
Dave Jacab,
SACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting a Class "A" Noncorifonning designation for a 11,2I6 sq. ft. office
building (tlle "Structure") to allow its c~ntinued use for professioxlal o~ice purposes. The
Structure is located an the northeast co2ner of 6`h Street and Manzanita Street, and was
deszgned and constructed in 1974 as a single-story ot~ce buildin~. At the time of its
constructian, the property was zoned C-3, ~vhich a~lawed offices as a Pertnitted Use. In 20pQ,
the prop~rty was rezoned from C-3 ta High Mix Residential (HMR), becoming a
nonconfo~7ning structure at that time.
CPMC Section 17.56.030, Classification Criteria, requires that all noncanfoinung
useslstructures be desi~iated as either Class "A" or "B~' nonconforming uses/structures. At
this time the Structure daes not have a nonconfortning classification. The continued
operation of tlie Structure as an affice rec~uires designation af the Structure as a Class "A"
nonconfonning use/structure. The criteria for obtaining a Class "A" desi~mation are set forth
in CPMC, Section 17.56.43d. The applicant's fndings (Attachment "A"} address the criteria
necessary for a Class "A" designation.
ISSUES:
Ap~roval of the Structure as a Class "A" nonc;onforming use/structure will praj~ide for the
continued use of the Structure for pxofessional of~`ice purposes, subject to any conditions
inlposeci by the Planning Commissioz~. It is recoirunended that as a condifiion of the Class "A"
designatiol~ that the contiziued use of the Structure as a professionai office is subject to
attainment of a Conditional Use Pernut. Such a candition assures consiste~~cy with the interct of
the HMR district and protection of adjacent properties.

CONDITI~NS OF APPRUVAL:
The structu7~e rnay continue to be used for office purposes subject to receipt af a Conditianal
Use Pennit authorizing use of the property for prafessional oi~ice purposes. Subsequent
clianges in use, other than residential or professional office, that are allowed in the HMR
district sha1l be subject to receipt of a separate Condirional Use Permit for the ne~~ use.

Applican~s' Exhibit 1
NATURE, SCOP~ AND fNTENT 4F APPLICA710N
An existing building lacated at the southeast corner of Manzanita and Pine streets has
been occupied by busines~ and professional of~ces, m~st rece~ztly by Pro~~idence Medical
Center, for autpatient care and medical/business offices. 111e property is zoned High Mi~z
Residential (HMR}. Offices are conc3itionally perrrutte.d in an HMR zone, provided it is a
ground floor business within a multiple family building, has less than ten #housand square
feet per tenant, and is adjacent to land zoned EC. The existing building has only a single
story and was built in 1974, ~lell before Central Point's adoption of the Transit Orie~ited
Development {TOD) regzalations with the building does not comply. As such, the single
story office building is a nonconforming structure with respect to the requirement that
affices are now restricted to a second floor. Therefore, for this b~lding to be eligible for
conditianal use authorization as an office, it niust be established as a lawfully
nonconformi~g structure and have granted a canditianal use permit. The pucpose of these
contemporaneously filed applications is:
A. To establish the e~sting nonconfarming building as a Class A no~~conforming use
pursuant to Central Point Zoni~ig Ordinance (CPZO) 17.Sb.030(A), and
B. To authorize the canditionai use of said building as an office by the granting of a
conditiona.l use permit pursuant to CPZO 17.76.040.

FINDINGS OF FACT

Plaz~zung Commission as the same are set farth in Section V,
!. Property Location: The subject property is located an A~Ianzanita Street at its
intersection vvith Sixth Street within incorporated Ceniral Point. The property is
described in the records of the Jacksan County Assessor as Taac Lot 2200 an map 37-
2W-02CC.
2. Subject Property Description, Acreage, Ownership: The property ~s full~
develaped and occupied by a single stary of~ce building, required off-sf~eet parking,

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The follo«ng conclusions of law and ultimate conclusions are bas~d on the findings of
fact contained in Section IV above and tl~e evidence enumerated in Sectian IT. The below
concluszons of law of the Central Point Planning Commission are preceded by the
approvai criteria to which they relate:
CLASS A N~NCONFORMlNG USE DETERMIfVA T10N
17.56.030 Classification c~iteria. All noncanforming uses and structures within the city of Centrai Point
shall be classified as either Class A or Class B nonconfarming uses, according to the foilowing criteria:
A, Properties containing nonconforming uses or structures may be designated Class A by the planning
commission based upon findings that all af the fallowing criteria apply:
~CItBI'IOR '~
1_ Cantinuance of the existing use or structure would nof be contrery to the public health, safety or welfare,
or to the spirit of this titfe;
Discussion; Conclusions of Law: The Planning Commission concludes that the subject
single stoxy building has, unti! recently, been used as a professional inedical office
occupied by Providence Medicai Center for autpatient a~d medicallbusiness services.
Neither Applicant nor the 1'lanning Commission are aware of az~y aspects of the
building's former use that has produced any impact upan the public health, safet~ and
genera! welfare, and no party testified nox introduced evidence to the contrary. In ~act,
medical offices typically produce greater levels of traffic and off-street parkiz~g than do
typical business affices. As such, the Planning Commission concludes that the building's
continued use as offices ~will not produce any additional levels of traffic nor other impacts
which are daf#'erent o~' greater than those which have histoxicatly existed within or by
reason of use of this building for office purposes. For these reasons, tlie Commission
concludes that this a~aplication is cansistent with Criterion 1.
~a,«x~x,~..,~~*,~.
Criterion 2
2. The continued maintenance and use of the nonconforming property is not kikely to depress the ~alues of
adjacent or nearby properties, nor ad~ersely a~fect their development potential in conformance with present
zoning;
Discassion; Conelusions of Law: As eaplained in t}~e findings of fact in Section IV, the
single story building now exists and, until recentiy, was used for medical autpatient care
and medical/business affices b~r Providence Medical Center. T}~e proposal now befoxe the
City of Central Point is to pern~it the continued use of the building for professional
offices to be oecupied by employees af Rogue Federal Credit Union. No exterior
changes to the building are now proposed and off street parking is sufficient to

Findings of Fact and Canclusions of Law

Rogue Federal Credit 1lnion: Applicant
accommodate the intendetl use. Tn point of fact, the Cammission concludes that medical
of~'ices typically produce greater requirements for pa~rking and greater traffic impacts tllan
is anticipated for general business off`tces now proposed. Given that tlie building already
eYists and the intended future use will praduce fewer traffic impacts and need fo7• less off
street parking, the Commission concludes that the continued maintenance and use of the
this property is not Iikely to depress the values of adjacent or nearby properties, nor
adversely affect their development potential in conformance with present zonii~g,
consistent with Griterion 2.
Criterion 3
3, The use or strucfure was fawfui at the time of its inception and no usefuf purpose wauld be served by
strict application of the provisions o~ requirements of this chapter with which the use ar structure does not
conform;
Discussion; Calnelusions of Lavv: Tlus building was constructed long before the
adoption of Central Point's Transit Oriented Develapment {TOD} regulations. Building
permits for the building were praperly obtained from the City of Cei~tral Poiz~t at the time
the building was constructed (in I974} and tb.ere is no evidence to the contrary.
Applicatian of the cify's TOD regulations, which restricts professional offiees ta only a
secand stary, will have the effect of enjoining office uses from now Iau~fully occup}ring
this existing single story office building. Tn this regard, neither Applicant nor the
Commisszon is awa~~e af any usefuF purpose to be served by strict applica#ion of the city's
regulatians which, again, will prevent office use of this e~sting building which was
designed far and accupied by affice uses. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and
conelusions af law, the Co~runission concludes that the application is cansistent with the
requirements of Criterion 3 because the subject structure was lawful at the time of its
inception and no useful purpose would be served by strict applicat~on of the pro~rision~ or
requirements of this chapter with which the use ar structure does z~ot conform;

Discussion; Conelusions af Law: As shoum on E~hibit 5, the subject property is
surrounded, among other uses, by three single far~ily dwelli~gs located north and aczoss
Manzanita from the property {two are iznmediately across Manzani.ta), and by Central
Poit~t Physical Therapy lacated to the west. Neither single family detached residentiai
dwellings nor the physical therapy use, are permitte~ within tk~.e HMR zone - the zone in
which the subject property is located. As such, the Planning Commission concludes that
the property is not predominantly surrounded by confornair~g uses or structures.

Critez'ian 4 has two parts. The second is whether, based upon a consideration of current
growth and developrnent trends, this property is not reasonably e~pected to canne L~nder
develapment pressures during tb.e next fitre years. The Commission is aware that current
gro~h and development in Central Poix~t (and elsewhere) have trended dov~rn during the
past two to three years, due in part ta a larger and widespread economic recession that
often characterized as a national or even global recession. As to what is a reasonable
expectaxion far a period five ~ears hence, is of course unknawn. However, the standard
requires only there be na reasonable expectation t~at the property ~~ill not come under
development pressures over the next five years. Based upon the state of the ]ocal, state,
national and internatianal economies, and the a~vailability of vacant land ttzat permits the
same uses allowed in the HMR zone, the Commission concludes there to no reasonable
expectation that this properry will come under development pressures over the ensuing
five year period.
Based upoxi ~he foregoing findings of fa~t and conclusions of law, the Planning
Con3mission concludes that the applicatxon i~ consistent with the requirements of
Criterion 4.

Criterion 5
5. The property is structurally sound, well-maintained, and oca~pied and usetf for t}~a purpose for which it
was designed;
Aiscussion; Conclusions af Law: The photagraphs in Exhibit 6 sho~n~ the property to be
structurally saund and ~vell maintained. The building and ather site improvements was
constructed in 1974. The building, by is design, appearance, and occupancy was
intended to supply affices for professio~al medical uses and i# cannot be reasonably
expanded vertically to be cansiste~t u~th the requirements of the Central Point Zoning
Ordinance. Even if a second story could be provided {to accommodate residential use
pursuant to CPZO Table 1 zn 17.65.050, the properry wauld then lack sufficient off-street
parking. As sueh, the building cannot reasonably be made canforming. Based upon ~e
foregoing, the Planning Cammission concludes that t3~e application is consister~t ~Tith the
requirements of Criterian 5,

Discussion; .;".onclusions af Law: As aforementioned, the subject building was
constructed as a.n afftce in 1974 and has been occupied for that purpose_ Pertnitting the

e~erior of the building nor the site) will not {and cannat be reasonably e~pected to}
produce any delay or obstruct either the development noz establishment of coz~forming
uses because, based upan the evidence, the building has remaining economic utility and
was desi~ned to be an office. As such, the building has substantial remaining value that
would make its removal (and replacement) wifh a confornung structur~ and use
imprac~ieal; others wishing to construct a confanning building az~d use w~ill simply
acquire ~~acant land and construct a building for a speci~c purpose (or otherwise accupy
ar refurbish an existing building) and will not incur the substantial additional cost to
demolisk~ an existing building that has remaining economic value. The Commission alsa
cancludes there is nothing inherent in this property or its continued occupanc~ as an
o£~'ice whielz will in arz~ way delay or abstrcact the development of conforming uses on
adjacent or nearby praperties and there is no evidence to the contrary, Therefore, the
Cornmission concludes that this application is consistent with Criterion 6.

17.76.Q40 Findings and Conditions, 7he planning commission in granting a conditional use permif shall
f~nd as follows:
Criterion A
A. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use and to meet
all other deveiapment and lot requirements of the subjecf zoning district and a!I other provisions of fhis code;
Discussxon; Conclnsians of Law: Applica.nt asserts and the Planning Commission
conclndes, that t11e adec~uacy of this site for the proposed use - a professional affiee --
is evidenced b~~ the fact that the of.~ce now exzsts, along with adequate required off-street
parking, landscaping and appurtena~ces. No exteriar improvements to the building or
site are conteznplated that would affect compliance with any of tbe city's physical
develapment standards. While Applicant ~~ill want a sig~ to identify its business, permits
for the same can and will be obtained unde~ separate permit froYn the City af Central
Point. Tlierefore, the Planming Commissian concludes t~at this application is consistent
with Criterion A.
fr ** k ~t s r A ir i+~ w a f+F
Criterion B
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 accommadate the traffic that is expected to be generated by fhe
proposed use;
Diseussion; Conclusions of Law: As shown on Exhibits 3, 4, and 5, the subject praperty
frorzts upon and takes access fram bath Manzanzta and Sixth s~reets, both of which are
fully improved municipal streets in CentraJ Point's downtown. Manzanita has a pa~~ed
travel surface approximately 36 feet in width and Sixth Street has a paving width af
approximately 28 feet. Bo~h streets are further improved with conerete curbs, gutters and

sidewalks. There are no planned capacity rtnprovements for either street and nQne are
needed. As to the adequacy of the street to accon~modate traffic from the proposed use,
the use is one that has, since 1974, e~:isted and produced traffic. The intended use, also
an affice, will produce no greater traf`fic loading than that wl~ich has occurred in the past,
in will likely produce Iess traffic. Based upon the foregoing ~dings of fact and
conclusions of law, the Planning Comrnissron concludes that the application is consistent
with t~e requ,irements of Criterion B.

walls and fences; IandsCaping; outdoor lighting; and signs;
Disenssian; Conelusions af La~v: The building zntended to house the proposed use was
designed, constracted, and has, since 1474, been used as a professional office. It~ this
i:~stance, Applicant intends to use the building for its own professional offices. Because
the historic a.rid proposed use are the same, Applicarit asserts and the Commission ag~ees,
that to the extent there are any adverse ef.f'ects frorn this building being used #'or
professional affices, the adverse effects have existed since 1974; there is nothinb to
sugge~t that the praposed office use will have any greater or different effects than earlier
office uses which have occupied the building. Moreove~, na additional improvements
are planned that would affect vehicular ingress, egress and internal cixculatiozt, setbacks,
height of buildings and strnctures, walls an.d fences, lasidscaping or outdoor lighting. The
anly e?cterior feature contemplated to change {other than on-going routine mainfenance
and upkeep) wil] be the installation of a typical business sign(s) that identif~~ the buildit~g~
use; any new signs vvill be required to cornply with Central Paint's sign ordinance. In a11
other respects, the oecupaney and use of the building will not change nor ~~ill the
intended prafessiana.] office use produce any significant adverse effect an abutting
property ar the permitted uses thereof, consistent in all respects with Criterian C.
~.,.~.~.~~~.*~~*
Criterion D
D. That the establishment, maintenance or operation af the use applied for will comply with locai, state and
federaf health and safety reguiations and therefore will not be detrimenta! to the health, safety ar genera~
welfare of persons residing or warking in the surrounding neighborhoods and wil! not be detrimental or
injurious to the property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the generaf welfare of the community
basec! on the review of those factars listed in subsection C of this section;
Discussion; Conclusions of Law: The Planning Carnmission concJudes that relevat~t
local, state and federal health and safety reguiations have been appropriately incorporated
into the Ce~tral Point Municipal Code. That these ha~ve been properl~ incoxporated inta
municipal ordinances have in large part been ensured b~ mandates of state gavernment

Goa~s. Moreover, there is nothing to prevent Applicant from compl_ying with aIl relevant
laealth and safety related gover~nmental regulations and Applicant is required to comply.
For these reasons, the Planning Commission concludes that the application is consistent
with the requirements of Criterion B.

Criterion E
E, That any conditions required for approval of fha permit are deemed necessary t0 protect the public
health, safety and genera! wel{are and may include:

the fofs or yard areas conform to the stated minimum dimensions for the subject zoning district, unless a
variance is also granted as provided for in Chapter 17.13,
2. Increasing street widfhs, modifications in streef designs or addifion of street signs or traffic Signals to
accornmodate the traffic generated by the proposed use,
3. Adjustments to off-street parking requirements in accordance with any unique characteristics af the
proposed use,
4. Regulation of points of vehicufar ingress and egress,
5. Requiring landscaping, irrigation systems, ligttting and a praperty maintenance program,

eliminate or reduce the effects of noise, vibrations, odors, visual incompatibility or other undesirable
effects on surrounding properties,
8. Regulation of 6me of aperafions for certain types of uses if their opera#ions may adversely affect
privacy of sleep of persons residing nearby ar otherwise conflict with other community or neighborhood

planning commission shall re~iew the criteria listed in Section 17.fi0.190. {Ord. 1823 §5, 2001; Ord.
1684 §72, 1993; Ord. 1615 §55, 1989; Ord_ 'f 533 §1, 1984; Qrd_ '1436 §2(parf), 1 g81),
Discussion; Conclusions of Lavv: The Planning Commissian fnds and concIudes that
#he language in Criterion E does not operate as a decisianal standard, but rather fiznctians
to provide municipal decision mal~ers with guidelines to detern~ir~e appropriate conditions
that it may atta~h to approvals under this section of the CPZO. As such, no responsive
findings of faet or conclusions of law are necessary and the Planning Cflmmission
concludes that the application is consistent by reason of inapplicabilrty with respect to
,Applicant's burden of proof.

T. Continuance of ~t~ae elzstirag zcse or st~~uct~~e wozcld noI be cofatt°ury ta the
public h.ealth, sctfen~ or welfare, of• to the spir•it of this tit.le,
Finding: The building in question was previously used as professional medical
offices for autpatient se7-vices and related metlical business seivices. `I`he
previaus use of the structure did not have a negative impact on public health
and/or safety or welfare of the surrounding neighborhood. The Applicant's
proposed use of the building, admi~~istrative business oftices, will have less
impact related to naffic and an-street parking than the previous use since there
would be less associated custamer/patient traffic. Since the change in use is frarn
one type of professional office to anotber, there will no additional impac~s that are
contraiy to public health, safety or welfare, or the spirit of this title.
Conclusion: The applicant ha.s met this criterion.
2. The contir~ued mainterzance arrd 2tse of the nonconfot°mi~2gproper'ty is ~tot
likely to depress values of'adjacent or nearhy ptao~ey~t.ies, raor• adversely affect

Findir~g: The Applicant's praposes to use the existing structure ~or a si7~lilar
pu.rpose as it has been used historically. No cha~lges to the exterior of the
structure are planned and off-street parkulg is adequate to meet High Mix
Residential -Transit ~riented Developznent District (HMR-TOD) requirements
i~
for the intended use - professional offices. Since the praposeci use vc~ill }~ave a
similar impact on nearby properties as the previous use, it is not likely to have any
negative ar positive effect on values of adjacent ar nearby properties.
Canelusior~: The applXCant has met this c~terion.

~nding: In reviewing City of Central Pai~it building permits, the ariginal
building was constructe~ in 1974 az~d remodeleci extensively in I992. It was used
as a pxofessional offices / medical center unti12Q09 When the tenazlt moved to
new facilities. The building was used as professional offices prior to the adoption
af Gentral Point's Transit Qriented Development code. Utider current HMR-TOD
requirements, professional offices are restricted to a second story. Sinee it is a
one story professional office building, it is a nanconforming structure. In this
case, it would require an extensive reconstruction of the structure for it to rneet
current HMR-TOD requirements. Even with extensive reconstruction, the
addition of residential uses would require additional off-street parking. The site
as currently configured would not provide for t}ie r~eeded off-street parking these
changes would require. Conside~ing these issues, it wauld serve no useful purpase
requirir~g st~-ict application of CPMC in this case.
Conelusian: The applica~it has met this criterion.
4. Tlte property is not predominately sitt•roat~tded by confot~~ni~tg ttses or
str~.cetures and, consideri~tg cuf°rentg3•owtlz atzd developme~~t tr~enr~s, rs not
r-easonabdy expected t.o conae under~ development pr~essures dur-i~ag tTz~ next five
yea~ s.
Finding: Tlie property is surrounded primarily by nonconfoiming uses and
structures including single-family residences and a single story professional office
building housing a physical therapist. Since this is the case, t.he property is not
predominately surrounded by conforming uses or structures. Concernu~g
expected de~-elopment pressure within the ~lext five years, current economic
conditions wauld preclude any extension redevelopment in the downtown
corridor and locatians near the subject property. With vacant coxnmercial and
residential lands readily available w~ithin the city, it is ux~likely that the area near
the property would be under pressure within five years sa there is no reasonable
expectatian that development will accur.
Conclusion: The app~icant lias met this criterion

S, The pf•opet-ly is sf.t~tcturally sotcnd, ~-vellanaintained, ur1.d occupied aru~ used
for the purpose. for w~z.ich rt wcrs desi,~rzed.
Finding; The ~buildu~g ~~~as constnicted in 1974 and has been well rnaintained. It
is currently structurally sound and xn good condition. Landsc~pu~g and parking
areas have been rnaintained and remain in good condition as well. Prior to 2009,
the buildirig was used ta house ~rofessional medical oftices. The applicant will
use the existing building for professional offices which is a sxrnila~r purpose for
which the building was originally designed.
Conclusion: T~ie applicant has met this criterian.

Fi.nding: As stated previously, the building was constructed in I974 as
professional offices and used for that purpose. The applicant will use the existing
building as professional offices. This will not obstruct development or
establishnZent of confornning uses on the subject property. As stated previously,
to make tl~e building conforming an additional floor would need to be added.
This is very unlikely to accur due to the availability of vacant commercial land
and current economic co7zditions. Continued use of the structure as professional
offices will ha~ve na impact on adjacent or nearby properties sinc;e most of the
surroundulg praperties are currently noncon~orming structures.
Conclusion: The applicant has met this criterion

NATURE, SCOPE AND INTENT OF APPLICATfON
An existing building located at t17e southeast corner of Manzanita and Pine streets has
been occupied b~% bus~ness and prafessional offices, most recently by Provide~.ce Medical
Center, for outpatient care and medical/busin.ess offices. The property is zoned High Mix
Residential (H11~R). O~ces are conditioi~ally permitted in an HMR zone, pravided it is a
ground floor business within a multiple farnily building, has less than ten thousand square
feet per tenant, ac~d is adjacent to land zoned EC. Tlae; existing building has only a single
story and was built in 1974, ~~vell before Central Point's adoption af the Traivsit Oriented
Development {TOD} regulations with the building does not compl~. As such, the single
story office building is a nanconforn~ing si~~ucture ~rith respect to the requirement that
offices are now restricted to a second floor. Therefore, far this builditng to be eligible far
conditional use authorization as an affice, it must be established as a~awfully
noncanforming structure and have granted a coriditional use pennit. The purpase of these
contemporaneously filed applications is:
A. To establish the eaisting noncon~orming building as a Class A nonconfarming use
pursuant to Central Point Zoning Ordinance (CPZO) 17.56.03d(A}, and
B. To au#horize #he conditional use of said building as an affice by the ~ranfing of a

FINDINGS OF F~4CT
The Planninb Commxssian reaches the follawing facts and fnds them ta be true ~vith
res,pect to thxs matter. T~Ze below Findings of Fact support the Conclusi~ns of Law of the
Plaru~ing Commission as the same are set forth in Section V.
1. Propert~~ Location; The subject propertp is located on Manzanita Street at its
intersection with Sixth Stxeet within incorpoxated Central Point. The property is
described in the records of the Jacksan Caunty Assessor as Tax Lot 2200 on map 37-
2W-02CC.
2. Subject Propert~r Descript~on, Acxeage, Owvnership: T~ze property is fuily
developed a,nd occupied by~ a single stor~ office building, required off-street parking,
and appurtenances. The buildizig, exclusi~~e of basement, cornprises 9436 square feet
and was constructed in 1474. The property has 0.60 acre. Applicanf, has given its
consent for CSA Planning Ltd to submit the proposed land use applications on its
behalf and the same is evidenced by a Limited Power of Attorney that has beer~
included as part of Applicant's filing and has been made a part of f~.e z~ecord.
3. Zoning: The property is presently zoned High Mix Residential (HMR) on tne City af
Central Point Zoning Map.
4. Existing and ~urroundi~ng Land Llses: Land uses in the surrounding area are shown

CONCLUSlONS OF LAW
The following conclusions of law and uXtimate conclusions are based on the fiz~dings af
fact contained in Sectian YV above and the eviden.ce entunerated in Sectian TI. The below
conclusions of law o£ the Central Point Planning Commission are preceded h~ tlze
approval criteria ta which they relate:
CLASS A NONCONFORMING USE DETFRl4lIfVA T10fY
17,56A30 Classfflcation criteria. Atl nonconforming uses and structures within the city of Central Point
shall be classified as either Class A or Class B nonconforming uses, according to the following criteria;
A. Properties cantaining nanconforming uses or structures may be designated Class A by the planning
cammission based upon findings that all of the following criteria apply:
Criterion 1
1. Continuance of the existing use or structura wauld not be contrary to the public heafth, safety or welfare,
or fo the spirit of this title;
lliscussion; Conclusians of La~cv: The Planning Commission concludes that the subject
single story building has, until recently, been used as a professional nzedical office
occupiec~ by Pro~~idence Medical Center £oz outpatient and medicaU6usiness services.
Neither Applicant nor the ~'laruiing Commisszon are aware of any aspects of the
building's former use that has produced any impact upan the public health, safet~ and
general welfare, and z~o parry testified nor intraduced evidence to the contrary. In fact,
medica~ of#ices typically produce grea#er ]evels af traffic and off-street parking t~an do
typical business offices. As such, the Planning Commission eoncludes that the. building's
conti~ued use as offices ~wilJ not produee any additiazial levels of traff`ze nor other impacts
which are diffexent or greater than those which have historically existed v~rithin or b~
reason af use o#~ this building for offtce p~uposes. For these reasons, the Cornmission
concludes that th.is application is consistent with Criterion l.

Criterian 2
2. The continued maintenance and use of the nonconforming property is not likely to depress the values of
adjacent or nearby properties, nor ad~ersely affect their developmenf potential in conformance with present
zoning;
Diseussion; Concl~sions of Law: As explained in the ~`mdings of fact in Section IV, the
single story bEZildxng now exists and, until recently, was used for rnedical outpatient care
and medical/business offices b~~ Provic~ence Medical Center. The praposal now befare the
City of Central Point is to permit the continued use o£ the building for prafessiazzal
offices to be occupied by em~loye.es of Rogue Fe~ieral Cxedit Union. No exterior
changes to the building are now proposed and off-street parking is sufficient to

accommodate the intended use. In point of fact, the Camnussion concludes that medical
offices typically produce greater requirements for parking and greater traffic irnpacts than
is anticipated fox general ~usiness offices now proposed. Criven that the building already
exists and the i~tended future use will produce fe~~ver traffic impacts and need for less off-
street parking, the Commission concludes that the continued maintenance and nse of tlie
this property is nflt likely to depress tlZe values of adjacent or nearby properties, nor
adversely affect their delrelopment potential in conformance with present zoning,
consistent ~vitl~ Criterian 2.
k~,M Vi w r a~ r a k Jt ~4 x w R
Criterion 3
3. The use or structure was lawful at the time of its inception and no useful purpose would be served by
strict application of the provisions or requirements of this chapter with which the use ar structure daes not
conform;
Discussion; Conclusions of Law: This buildiz~g was constructed long before the
adoption of Central Point's Transit Oriented De~vel.opment (TOD} regulations. Building
perr~lits for the building were ~ropexly obtained from the City of Cer~tral Point at the tizne
the building was constructed {in 1974) and there is no eridence to the contrary.
Applicatian of the city's TOD regulatians, which restricts professional of~ices ta only a
second story, ~vil) have the effect of enjoiniz~g oftice uses from naw Zawfully occupying
tlus eYisting szngle story office building, In this regard, neither Applzcant nor the
Commissian is aware of a~ny useful purpose to be served by strict application of the cit~r's
reguiations which, again, will prevent office use of this eYisting building which was
designed for and oceupied by office uses. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and
conclusions of law, the Comrnission cancludes t~~at the application zs cansistent vvith the
requirernents of Criterion 3 because the subject structure was lawful at tl~e time of its
inceptian and no useful puzpose would be serve~ hy strict application~ of fhe provXSions or
requirements of this chapter with which the use or structure does not conform;
~w..~.a*~~k~~,~*
Criterion 4
4. The property is not predominantly surrounded; by conforming uses or structures and, considering current
growth and deveiopment trends, is not reasonably expected to come under development pressures during
the nsxt five years;
Diseussion; Conclusions of Law: As sho~ni on Exhibit 5, the subject propert~r is
surrounded, among other uses, by tYu•ee single famil~r dwellings located north and acr~ss
Manzatuta from the property (two are immediately across Manzaiuta}, and by Central
Point Physical Therapy located ta the «-est. Neither single family detached residential
dwellings nor the physical therapy use, are permitted within the HMR zone - the zone in
•e~vhich the snbject propez~ty is located. As such, the Planning Cocnmission concludes that
the property is nvt predominantly surraunded by confonning uses or structures.

Rogue Federal Credit Union: Applicant
Criterion 4 has two parts. T~e second is whether, based upon a consideration of cturent
grawth and development trends, this property is not reasonably expected to coine under
development pressures durii~g the next five years. The Coznmission is aware that current
gro~~th and development in Gentral Paint {and elsewhere) have trended down during the
past two to three years, due in part to a larger and widespread econo~ic recessioz~ that
often characterized as a nat~anal or even global recession. As to what is a reasonable
expectation far a pexiod five years k~ence, is of course unkno~vn. Hovvever, tlze standard
requires only there be no reasonable expectatifln tliat the property will not come under
development pressures over the next fi~ve years. Based upon the state of the local, state,
natianal and internatianal economies, and the a~~ailability of vacan~ land that permits the
same uses allowed i~ the HMR zone, the Commission co~cludes there to no reasanable
expectafion that t~is property urill corne under develapment pressures over the ensuirig
five year period.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions a~ Iaw, the Planning
Cammission cancIudes that the application is consistent with the requirements af
Criterion 4.
*r~la*I~ irxw rwa fia*
Criterion 5
5. The property is structurally sound, well-maintained, and occupied and used for the purpose for which ~t
was designed;
Discussion; Cflnclusions of Law: Tlxe photographs in Exhibit 6 shou~ the pxoperly to be
strucruratly sound and well maii~tained. The building and other site improvements was
constructed in 1974. The building, by is design, appearance, and occupancy was
uitended to supply offices for professional medical uses and it cannot be reasonabl~
expanded vertically to be consistent with the requirements of the Central Point Zoning
Ordina.nce. Even if a seeond story could be provided (to accomrnodate residential use
pu.rsuant to CPZO Table 1 in 17.65.050, the property would then lack sufficient off-street
parking. As such, the building cannot reasonably be made conforming. Based u~on the
foregoing, the Planning Commissio~ concludes that the application is cansistent uTith the
requirements of Criterion 5.
t x x t r w lY M w a~. i f } a~ k
Criterion $
6. Continuance of this nonconfarming use wifl nat in any way delay or obstruct the development or
establishment of conforming uses on the subject praperty or on any adjacent or nearby properties in
accordance with the provisions of the zoning ordinance.
D~iscussion; Conclusions of Y~aw: As aforementio~xed, tbe subject building ~vas
constructed as an office in ~ 974 and has been occupied ~or that purpose. Perinitting the
building ~o continue its accupancy as an office (and with na needed improvements to the

exterior of the building nor the site) will not {and cannot be reasonably expected to)
produce a~ny delay or obstruct either the development nor establishment of confomiing
uses because, based upon the evidence, the building has remaining economic utility and
was designed to be an office. As such, #he ~building has substantial remaining value that
would make its re7noval {aud replacement) with a conformuzg structure and use
impractical; others wishing to const7~uct a conforming building az~d use vvxXl simply
acquire ~c-acant Iand and construct a building fax a specific purpose (or otherwise occupy
ar refurbish an existing building) and will r~ot incur the substantial additional cost to
demolish an existiz~g building that has reinaii~i~g economic value. The Commission also
concludes ~ie~e is nothing inherent in this properiy or its continued occupancy as an
office wluch will in any way delay or obsfiruct the development of con~orming uses on
adjacent or nearb~ propei-~ies and there is no evidence to the contrat-y. Therefore, the
Cammission concludes that this appliration is consistez~t with Criterion 6.

CONDITlONAL USE PERMlT
17.76.04Q Findings and Condifions, The pEann~Eng commission in granting a conditional use permit shall
~ind as follows:
Criterion A
A. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use and to meet
all other de~elopmen4 and lot requirements of the subject zoning district and all other pravisians of this code;
DiseussYOn; Conclusions of Law: Applicant asserts and the Plannin~ Cammission
concludes, that the adequacy of this site for ihe proposed use - a professianal off'ice -
is evidenced by the fact that the office no~u exists, a.long with adequate required off-street
parking, landscaping and appurtenances. No exterior zmprovements to the building or
site are contemplated that wouid affect compliance ~with any of the city's physical
development standards, While Applicant t~iXl want a sign ta identify its business, permits
for tk~e same ean and v~rill be obtained under separate permit from the City of Central
Point. Therefare, the Planning Cominission concludes that this application is consistent
with Criterion A.

Criterion B
B_ That the site has adequate access to a public street or highway and that fhe street or highway is
adequate in size and condition to effectively accommodate the traffic that is expected to be generated by the
proposed use;
D~seussion; Conciusions of L~w: As shown on Exhibits 3, 4, az~d 5, the subject property
fronts upon and takes access from both Man~~n.i.ta and Si~th streets, both of which are
fully irnproved municipal streets in Central Paint's downtown. Manzanita has a paved
travel surface approximately 36 feet in widtli and Si~Th Street l~as a paving width of
approximately 28 feet, Both. streets are further impro~~ed wi~~ concrete curbs, gutters and

sidewalks. There are no planned capacity improvements for eithez~ street and none are
needed. As to ~he adequacy af the street to accommodate traffic from the ~roposed use,
the use is one that has, siz~ce 1974, e~.isted and produced trafFic. The intended t~se, also
an office, will praduce no greater tra~fic laading tlaan that which has occurred in tl~e past,
in will likely produce less traffic. Based upan the fo~-egoing findings af fact and
eoi~clusions o~ law, the Planning Commission concludes that the application ~s consis~ent
with the requirements of Criterion $.
~~..*,~*.,..x~~~,
Criterion C
C. That the propased use wiil have no significant ad~erse effect an abutting property or the permitted use
fhereof. fn making this determination, the commission shall consider the proposed location of impro~ements
on the site; ~ehicular ingress, egress and internal circulation; setbacks; height of buildrngs and structures;
walls and fences; landscaping; outdoor lighting; and s+gns;
Discussion; Conclusians of i.a~v: '~'he building intended to house the proposed use was
designed, cozlstructed, and has, since 1974, been used as a professianal ~ffiee. In this
instance, Applican.t intends to use the building for xts own prafessional offices. Because
the historic at~d proposed use are the same, Applicant asserts and the Comrnzssion agrees,
that to the eYtent there are a.-ry adverse effects from this building being t~sed foz'
professional offices, the adverse effects have existed since 1974; there is nothiz~g to
suggest t~iat the proposed offtce use Will have aziy greater or dif£erent effects than earlier
affice uses vc~hich have occupied the building. Moreover, no additional improvements
axe planned tk~at would a#~fect vehicular ingress, egxess and internal circulatian, setbacks,
heig~it of buildings and sfructures, walls and fences, landscapzng or outdoor lighting. The
an~y exterior feature contem~lated to change (other than on-going routine 3naintenance
and upkeep} ~+ill be the installation of a typical business sign{s) that identify the buildin.gs
use; any new si~ will be required ta comply with Central Point's sign ardinance. I~, ail
otl~er respects, the occupancy and use o#~ the building t~ilI not change nor will tk~e
intended professional oftice use praduce any significant adverse effect on abu#tin~
prapert~ or the permitted uses thereof, consistent in all respects ~~ith Criterion C.

Criterian D
D. That the establishment, maintenance or operation of the use applied for will comply with lacal, state and
federal health and safety regulafions and therefore will not be detrimenta! to the health, safety or general
welfare of persons residing ar working in the surrounding neighbortioods and will not be defrimentai or
injurious to the property and improvements in the neighbortiood or to the genera! welfare of the community
based on the review of fhose factors listed in subsection C of this section;
Discussion; Canclusio~as of Law: The Planning Camrnxssion concludes that relevant
local, state an.c1 federal health and safety regulations have been appropriately incozpflrated
into the Central Point 1V~unicipal Code. That these have been pro~erly incorporated into
municipa] ardinances have in large part been ensured by max~dates of state government

Goals. Mareover, there is nothing to prevent Applicant from complying with all relev~ant
health and safety related governmental regulations and Applicant is required to comply.
For these reasons, the Plaruling Comrnission concludes that. the application is consistent
with the requirements of Criterion .D.
Criterion E
E. 7hat any conditions required for approval of the permit are deemed necessary to protect the public
health, safety and general welfare and may incfude:
'1. Adjustments to lot size or yard areas as needed to best accommodate fhe praposed use; provided
#he lots or yard areas conform to the stafed minimum dimensions for the subject zoning districf, unlass a

3. Adjustments to off-street parking requirements in accordance with any unique characteristics af the
proposed use,
4. Regulativn of points oivehicufar ingress and egress,
5. Requiring landscaping, irrigation systems, lighting and a property maintenance program,
6. Regulation of signs and their Iocations,
7. Ftequiring fences, berms, walls, landscaping or other deviczs of organic or artificial compasition to

general welfare,
12. In considering an appeal of an appfication for a conditional use permif for a home oceupation, the
planning commission shall re~iew the criteria listed in Section 17.60.190. (Ord. 1823 §5, 2001; Ord.

Discussion; Canclusions of Law~r: The Ptanning Cammission finds aaid concludes that
the language in Criterion E does nat operate as a decisional standard, but rather functions
to provide munici~al decision rnakers with guidelines to detern~ine appropriate conditions
tl~at it may attach to approvals under this section of the CPZO. As sucl~, no respoY~sive

and egress are pravided ori both Manzanita and N. Sixth Street. The intended use of the
struchire will be professionalladtninistrative of~ices whicli will likely produee less traffic
than did the p7•evious use so it is unlikely exacerbate traffic conditians.
Conclusion: The praposed use rneets this criterian.
C. Tliat the proposed use will have n.o sigsriJicant. adverse effect on abuttirsgproperty or the
~~ermittec~ tsse thereof. In making this deterrniriation, the conamission shal.l corrsr'der° the proposed

arid si~arrs;
~inding: The structure was designed and built in 1974 with the intention of providing
professianal offices and was used for that purpose until 2049. The Applicant's proposed
use of the building will be similar tq the previous use - professional offices.
The existing structure will z~ot be expanded beyond its current capacity. Setbacks,
building height, walls and fencing, landscaping, and outdoor lighting will not be changed
from their current conti~uration. A new sign will be added to tl~e site but vvill meet H1V1R
- TOD standards. Since tl~is is the case there will be no significant impact on abutting
properties or permitted uses.
Conclusion: The praposetl use will nat adversely affect abutting properties or the use
thereof.

the Applicant's proposed use. Previously, the buildzng served as a professional oftice /medical
building and only the interior wili be remodelec~ to meet the requirements for the propased use.
Surrounding streets are established and functionat. Off street parking and in~~ress and egress
points are established and are adequate to serve tl~e proposed use. Landscaping, irrigatio7i,
lighting is established and well maintained, and fences and/or benns, etc. would not be required
due to the praposeci use as professional offices. Hours of operation are ekpeetec~ to be between 7
a,m. and 6 p.m. so should not impact the surrounding nei~;hborhood.
Conclusian: The proposed use cornplies with the above requirernents.

Consideration of atnendmetits ta the City of Central ~oint Mtu~icipal Code Section 17.44, Tourist and
Professional Office District, Section 17.72, Site Plan and Landscaping Plan Approval, and Section I 7.64
Off-Street Parking, and the addition of Section 17.75, Desi~ i Standards; Applicant: City of Central
Point,
STAFF SOURCE:
Don Burt, Flanning
BACKGROUND:
At the request of the City Counci~ the Plannin~ Cominission has been cansidering various changes to t~ze
Central Point Mut~icipal Code to accomrnodate la7•ge retail establishments within the C~ district as a
perrni~ed use. Based on discussians with the Planning Conuiussion vid various property owners a final
draft of the proposed arnendtnents has been completed far consideration at the Planning Colnmission
meeti~zg of Novernber 2, 2010. The propased arzlendments cover foiu• sections of the zoning code. The
following is an oven~iew of each section:
1. Section 17.44 Tourist And Offiee Professional District. Addresses changes in use correcting
redundancies and eliminatin~ fhe "large retail establishtnent" size restriction.
2. Section 17.72 Site Plan and Landscaping Plan Approval. Restnictures the site plan ~nd
architectural revie~~ process, including die provision for clear and objective standards.
3. Section 17.64 Off-Street Pa~king. Adds maximwn vehicular parking standards, har~dicapped
parlci7lo standards, and bicycle standards. References Secfion 17.75 #or parking construction
standards.
4. Section 17.75 Design Standards. This is a new sectioti t~l~t is structured to eventually contain
development standards for all zonin~ districts. As currently written this seceion includes block
and access provisions that anplv to all zoning districts, and site plan and architectural provisions
that apply to com7nercial districfs only at this time. Reservations are included for development
standards of other zoning districts.
The proposed amenclmen.ts have been submitted to the Department of Land Conservation and
Developinent (DLCD). Favarable written corrunents {Attaclunent "E") have been received on SeCtioiLs
I7.72, 17.64, ancl 17.75. The Gity has zaat received any written comments on Seetion 17.44.
ISSUES:
Most of tk~e issues have been opei~ly discussecl tt~roughout the process and appzopriate changes made.
However, there may be some latent issues that n~ay be a point of discussion at the public hearing, such as:
+~ ~ Page 1 of 2
e3
Sectian 17.44, Taurist and Offiice Professional District. There re~nains some conceni by
metiibers of Yhe Citizens Advisory Committee, and possibly others, that removal of the size
restriction on laY'ge retail establishrnents is not nec~sary. The concerns are: the size of large
retail establishments, the potential blighting impact of t-acant large retail buildi~ig, and the
economic impact of large retail esta~ilishments on local small business.
Section 17.75, Design Standards. The primary purpose af this section is to appropriately manage
the design of lar~e retail buildings in a man~er that makes them niore pedestz~ian friend3y and
supports the City's small town objective. Of the proposed desi~n standards n~o will be
challenged:
• The miniYnurn block standards (Section 17.75.031(2) j. A standard maxiznum block
perimeter of 2,40~ feet has been set for development in ail zoning districts. The purpose
is to assure connecti~ity and ~alkability. As a result of discussion com~nents fhis
standard as been adjusted from 1,6U0 feet to the c;urrent proposed 2,400.
• The building facade transparency requirement (Sec~.on 17.75_042{A)(4)). To lessen the
itnpact of tlie transparency standard altertlative fa~ade options have bee~i included.

77.05.500 (GJ (2)(m) The requesi is con,sistenf with the Cent~•al. Point cornpf°ehensfve
plan;
Finding: The amendments are ~nsistent witli the comprehensive plan and serve to
clarify curreYit c~de language by eliminatu~g redundancy and providing clear and
rneasurable standards.
Finding: The text aznendment to Section 17.44, relaxes the size resh-ictions for large
retail establishments in. the zoning district witliout ck~anging the definition af said
establishments. This carrection is consistent with CPMC Section 17. I4.100 in that it
reflects changing cominunity eonditions, needs and desires.
Conclusion: Consistent
1. Transpartation
Finding; The City of Central Point Transportation System Plan 2030 {TSP) replaees
Chapter XI, Circulation/TransportatioYi of the Com~prehensive Plan. The TSP prov~ides
an inventary of the Cit~~'s existing transportation system, includiY~g street standards.
This element of the Coinprehensive Plan addresses Statewide Planning Goa1 12,
Transportation.
The praposed text amendments to Section 17.64, Off Street Parking and Loading atid
Section 17.75, Design Standards implement Goa16. ~ and 6.2 of tlle City's
Transportafiion Systexn Plan as relates to parking. The proposed text a~iendments to
Section ] 7.64 establish a maximum amount of parking allawec~ by use and estabiishes
connectivit_y and landscaping standards for all parking lats.
Finding: The proposed text amendme~t will not cause an increase in land uses that
would result in levels of travel or access that wonld be inconsistent with the City's
functional street classi~ication systeln for existing and planned transportation facilities.
The text amend7nent to Section 17.44, relaxes the size restrictions for Iarge retail
establishments in the C-4 zoning district, treating larbe retail establislrments the same as
shopping centers, wluch have no size liniitation and are a permitted use in the C-4
district. Frorn a land use and transportation perspective the removal of the size limitation
pn large retail establishments is co7isistent with the uses currently pernnitted within the
C-4 district.

I'age S of 10
~~
Finding b60-01.2-0064{1)(c){A}: The proposed text ainendrnents will not cause an
increase in land uses that would result in levels of travel or access that wauld be
incansistent. with the Gity's functional street classification system for existing and
planned transportation facilities. Rela~ing o~ restrictions on the size of large retail
establishments sezves to remove the discrimuiatary restrictic~n on the size af large
retail establishrnents vs. shapping c~nters, which have no size restrictian and are
penmitted uses within the C-4 disn-ict.
Conc~usion 6b0-012-0060(1}(c)(A): No significant affect.
Finding 660-012-0060(1}(c}(B): A detei~ninat~on that Iarge retail establishinents
greater than 80,000 square feet in area as a permitted use are similar to other allowed
uses in the C-4 district will not cause the perfo7~nance of an existing or planneci
transportatian facility ta fall below acceptable per-formance standaxds. Only at such
time as a large retail establishnient is actually developeti would tl~ere k~e a demaYld on
the City's transportation facilities that may, or may not, affect the transportation's
mznimum level of perfarniance. As proposed, a large retail establislunent would be
allowed as a permitted use and subject to compliance with all development standards
of the City, includin~ the Transportation System Plan.
It is possible that the development of any use perniitted in t~~e C-4 district, large
retail establishments included, could cause a reduction in the mi~iimurn levet of
service, in which case the development proposal would be responsible for the
mitigation of trat~"ic iinpacts to acceptable levels. Section 17.05.904 Traffic Impact
Analysis contai7~s prot~isions for the evaluation of a development's traff'ic irnpacts
and rnitigation of those impacts to acceptable minimum levels.
Conclusxon, 660-012-0060(1)(c)(B): A determination that large retail establis~~nents
i7i excess af 80,000 square feet will not cause a reduction of performance standards
to existing or pl~letl traY~sportation facilities below minimum acceptable standards.

Street from four lanes to three. This objective will be accamplished through the
preparation of a comparative and comprehensive (vehiclelfreight/bicycle/pedestrian}
traffic analysis addressing capacity, Level of Service {LOS), safety, and traffic signal
coordination. Analysis will be based on design years 20l 0, 202d, and 2034.
Objecfive 2. Identify streetscape alternatives for Pine Street that will increase the
efficiency and availability of alternative mades of transportation, while promoting and
supporting redevelopment of the downtown as a~igh-density, rnixed-use urban center,
includulg a balanced multi-modal design for Pine Street that tivill serve as a standa7•d for
streetscape improveinents along Pine Street.
