BACKGRQiJND:
At the request of the City Council the Planning Commission has been cansidering various changes to the
Central Point Municipal Code to accammodate large retail establishments within the C-4 district as a
permitted use. Based an discussions with the Planning Commisszon and various property owners a fin~l
draft of the proposed arnendments has been completed fox consideratian at the Planning Commission
meeting of November 2, 2010. The proposed amendments cover fattr sectians of the zflning cade. Tlte
following is an overview of each section:
1. Sectlon 17.44 Tourist a~d ~ftice Professional District Addresses changes in use correcting
redundancies and eliminating the "large retail establishment" size restricfion.
2, Section 17.72 Site Plan and Landscaping Plan Approv~l. Restructures the site plan and
architectural review process, including the provision for clear and objective standards.
3. Seciion 17.64 Off-Street Parking. Adds maacimum vehicular parking standards, handicapped
parking standards, and bicycle standards. References Section f 7.75 for parking canstruCtion
standards.
4. Section 17.75 Design Standards. This is a new section that is structured to eventually contain
develapment standards for all zoning distriets. As currendy writ~en this section includes block
and access provisions that at~Uly to all zoning disiricts, and site plan and architectural pravisions
that apply to commercial ciistricts only at this time. Reservations are included for develapment
standards of other zoning districts.
The proposed amendments have been subrzutted to the Deparirnent af Land Conservation and
Develapment (DLCD). Favorable written comments (Attachment "E'~ have been received on Sections
17.72, 17.64, and 17.75. The City has not received any written comments om Section 17.~14.
ISSiTES:
Most of the issues have been openly disct~ssed throughout the process and appropriate changes made.
However, there may be some latent issues that may be a point of discussion at the public hearing, such as:
Page 1 of 2
Section 17.44, Tourist and Office Professioual District There remains some cancern by
members of the Citizens Advisory Committee, and possibly others, that removal of the size
restriction on lazge retail establishments is nof necessary. The concerns are: the size of large
retail establishments, the potential biighring unpact of vacant large retail building, and the
economic impact of large retail establishments on lr~cal small bt~siness.
Sectian 17.64. Off-Street Parking and Loading. DLCD questioned the resfirictiveness of the
residential parking minimum limitations, To address this concern Section 17.64.040 has been
modi~ed ta remove the iuaxi.mum limitation on residential parking. Table 17.64.02 has been
divided into two sections; ane for Residential Uses (Table 17.b4.020A} and the other for Non-
Residential Uses (Table 17.64.020B). Maximum parking requirements are still imposed on non-
residential uses.
Section 17.75, Design Standards. The primary purpose ofthis section is to ~ppropriately manage
the design of large retail buildings in a manner that makes them more pedestrian friendly and
supports the City's smail town objective. Ofthe proposed design standards two will be
challenged:
• The minunum block standards (Section 17.75.031{2)). A standard maximum block
perimeter of 2,400 feet has been set for development in all zoning districts. The ptxrpose
is to assure connectivity and walkability_ As a result af discussion comments this
standard as been adjusted from 1,600 feet to the current proposed 2,440.
~ The building facade transparency requirement (Section 17.75.042{A)(4)). To lessen the
irnpact of the transpareney standard altemative fa~ade options have been included.

Dear Ms. Thvmas,
Thank yau far giving the depart~nent the opporttin.ity to revievv the proposed amer~drrfent
to establish design and c~evelopment standar~ds for commercial development in Cct~tral
Point.
Generally the departrnent is very pleased with this and other rec~nt plan au~endrnerifs to
Ceratral Point's dcvelapment code that ex~znplify many smart development principles
which wi11 help Central Point achieve its goal af being a vibrant placc to iive and do
business. Remember, when you begin your wark on drafting design and development
staudards for residenhaJ development, they will need to be "clear and objective". The city
may want to consider ha.ving a 2-hack process for residetrtial development; one that uses
"clear and abj ective stat~dards" and ~ second tllat an applicant can use that that is mare
descression ary, but has benefits for both the ciry and the developer.
We lo~k forward to reviewing you proposed design and development standards far
industrial and residential development in the future. Please do nat hesitate to call i~ you
would like us to particzpate or provide technical s~ppozt in auy way.
Please include this letter in the record af all proceedings on this matter, aut3 p~ease ca]1

This element of the Comprehensive Plan addresses Statewide Pla~ning Goal 12,
Transportation.
The propased text amendrnents ta Section 17.b4, Off=Street Parking and Laading and
Section 17.75, Design Standards implement Goal 6.1 and 62 of the City's

establishments in the C~ zoning district, treating large retail establishments the same as
shopping centers, which have no size limitation and are a perrz~itted use in the C~

Finding 660-012-0060(1}{a}: The proposed text amendments serve to pravide clea~r

Finding 660-012-0060(1)(c)(A): The proposed text amendme~.ts wi11 not cause an
increase in land uses that wauld result in levels of travel or access that wauJd be
inconsistent with the City's functianal street classification system for existing and
planned transportation facilities. Relaxing of resfirictions on the size of large retail
establishmen~s serves to remave the discriminatory restricnon on the size of large
retail establishments vs. shapping centers, which have no size restnction and are
permitted uses within the C-4 district.
Conclusian 664-012-DOGO(1)(c)(A): No significant affect.
Finding 660-U12-0060{1)(c}(B): A determination that la7•ge retail establishments
greater tl~an 80,OOQ square feet in area as a permitted use are sin~ilar to other allowed
uses in the C~ distY-ict r~rill not eause th.e perfarmance of an existing ar planned
transportatioxi facility to fall below acceptable performance standards. Only at such
time as a large retail establishment is actually deve~oped would there be a deznand an
the City's transportation facilities that rnay, or may not, affect the transportatioz~'s
minimum level of performance. As proposed, a large retail establis~r~ent would be
allowed as a pezxnitted t~se and subject to compliance with all development standards
of the City, including the Transportation Systen; Plan.
It is possible that the development of any use pextnitted i~i the C-4 district, ~arge
retail establishments included, could cause a reduction in the minimum level af
service, in which case the development proposal would be responsible for tlie
mitigation of traffic impacts to acceptable levels. Section I7.05.900 Traffic Impact
Analysis contains pro~isions f~r the evaluation of a developnlen.t's traffic i~npacts
and mitigation of those impacts to acceptable minimuzn levels.
Conclusion, 6b0-012-0060(1}(c)(B): A determination that large retai~ establishments
in excess of 80,040 square feet will not cause a reduction of performance standards
to existiz~g or plaiuied transportati~n faci]ities below mini.r~um acceptable standards.

PART 3 CTI'Y OF CENTRAL POINT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
r~ as.S00 (G) (2)(m) T~ie r~equest is cdnsastent witll the Central Point cornprehensive
plan;
ISnding: The arnendrnents are cansistent witb the comprehensive plan and serve to
clarify current code language by eliminating redundancy and providing cIear and
measurable standards.
Fi~nding: 'Tbe text amendzx~ent to Section 17.44, relaxes the size restrictions for large
retail estabiishrnents in the zoning district without changing the definition af said
establisl~ments. This correction is consistent with CPMC Section 17.10.100 in that it
reflects changing community conditions, needs and desires.
Canclusian; Consistent
1. Transportation
Finding: The City of Central Point Transportation System Plan 2030 {TSP) replaces
Chapter XI, CireulatianlTransportatian of the Cornprehensive Plan. The TSP provides
an invento~ry of the City's existing transportation system, including street standards.
This element of the Comprehensive Plan addresses Statewide Flanning Goal 12,
Transportation.
The proposed text amendments ta ~ection 3.7.64, Off-Straet Parking and Loading and
Section 17.75, Design Standards implement Goa16.1 and 6.2 of the City's
Transpartatian System Plan as relates to parking. The proposed text amenc~rnents to
Section 17.64 establish a maximum amount of parking allowed by use and establishes
cannectivity and landscaping standards for all parking lots.
~nding: The praposed text amendment will not cause an increase in land uses that
would result in levels of travel or access that would be incansistent with the City's
functional street classification system for existing and planned transportation facilities.
The text amendment to Section 17.44, retaxes the size restrictions for large retail
establishments in the C~ zoning district, treating large retail establishments the same as
shopping centers, which have no size limitation and are a permitted use in the C-4
district. From a land use and transportation perspective the removal of t}~e size limitation
on large retail establishments is consistent with the uses currently permitted within the
C-4 district.
Conclusion: Consistent

S`ect~ion b6Q-012-0060(1) Where an amendme~# to a functional,plan, an acknowledged

~Ynding b60-012-0060{1)(a): The proposed text amendrnents serve to provide clear
and measurable code standards while resolving the cu.rrent redundant language or the
absence of ineasurable standards. The propased text amendment will not cause any
changes to the functi~nnal classification of any existing or planned transportation
facilities.
Conc~usion 660-012-0060{1}{a}: No significant affect.
Finding fi60-Q12-4060(])(b): The propased text amendmen#s ~ill not cause a
change ta standards fat the City's functional classification system.
Canclusian b60-012-0060(1)(b}: No significant affect
Page S of 10
Fi.nding 660-012-OOfiO{1)(c}(A): The proposed text amendments will nvt cause an
increase in lanc~ uses that would result in levels of travel or access that would be
inconsistent with the City's functional street ctassification system for existing and
planned transportation facilities. Rela~ng of restrictions on the size af large retail
establishments serves to remove the discriminatory restriction on the size of large
retail establishments vs. shopping centers, which have no size restriction and are
permitted uses within the C~ dist~ict.
Canclusion fib0-012-0060(1)(c)(A): No significar~.t affect.
Finding 660-012-OD60(1}{c)(B}: A determination that large retail establishments
greater than 80,000 square feet in area as a permitt~d use are similar to other allowed
uses in the C-4 district wilI not cause the performance of an exis#ing or planned
transportation facility to fall below acceptable performance standards. Ch~ly at such
time as a larbe retai~ establishmezat is actuaIiy deveIoped would there be a demand on
the City's transportation facilzties that may, ~r n~~y not, affect the transportation's
minimuin level of performance. As proposed, a large retail establishment would be
allowed as a permitted use and subject to compliance with all development standards
of the City, includi~ig the Transpc~rtatian System Plaz~.
It is possible that the develflprnent of any use permitted in the G-~ di~trict, large
retaal estabiishments included, could cause a reduction in the mirnimum Ievel of
service, in which case the development proposal wauld be responsible for the
mitigation of traffic impacts to acceptable levels. Section 17.05.900 Tra~c Impact
Analysis cantains provisians for the evaluation of a development's traf~ic impacts
and rnitigatian of tk~ose impacts to acceptable minimum levels.
Conclusion, 660-012-~06~(1){c){B}: A detertninatian that large retail establishrnents
in excess of 80,0~0 square feet will not cause a reduction of perfonnance standards
to existing or planned transportatian facilities below minimum acceptable standards.
Finding 660-012-0060{1)(c)(C): See Finding 660-Q12-0060(1}(c)~B).
