STAFF SOURCE Don Burt, AICP, EDPP BACKGROUND At the September 6, 2005 Planning Commission meeting a public hearing was held to consider the modification of the Cascade Meadows Village PUD for Lot 92, and the subdivision of Lot 92 {.48 acres) in to four (4) single-family residential detached lots. The land division application was accompanied by a preliminary site development plan for each of the four (4) lots. The initial intent for the Cascade Meadows Village PUD was to develop Lot 92 as commercial. The property is currently designated far employment commercial use {EC). The applicant has a pending application to amend the zoning map from TOD-EC (Employment Commercial) to TOD-LMR {Low Mix Residential). In addressing the PUD amendment and Land Division/Preliminary Site Plan it was acknowledged that the application was being reviewed on its merits as if it were designated TOD-LMR and that the issue of whether or not the application to amend the zoning map would be addressed separately on its own merits. After conclusion of the public hearing, and subsequent discussion, the Planning Commission voted to deny the proposed PUD amendment and Land Division and directed staff to prepare findings for denial based on the following considerations: 1. The proposed lots did not meet the minimum rear yard requirement; 2. The proposed lots did not meet the minimum lot width requirements (50 ft.); and 3. With the exception of Lot 12 the proposed lots are smaller in area and width than other standard residential lots in Cascade Meadows Village. 4. The site plans, with the use of shared driveways are not similar to or compatible with adjacent residential uses. FINDINGS Denial is based on the following f ndings as relates to the pending TOD-LMR land use re-classification: Section 17.65.07 Zoning Regulations - TOD Corridor(E} Dimensional Standards. The dizx~ensional standards for lot size, lot dimensions, buildi~~g setbacks, and building height arc specified in Table S. Finding I7.65.070 (E): Section 17.65.070(E) sets forth dimensional standards for the TOD- LMR and references Table S TOD, Corridor Zoning Standards. Table 5 requires a minimum lot width of SO feet. The applicant proposes lot widths less than SD feet. Conclusion I7.65.070(E): The proposed Land Division does not comply with the minimum standards for lot width as set forth in Table 5, Section 17.65.070. Finding 17.65.070 (E): Section 17.65.070(E) sets forth dimensianal standards for the TOD- LMR and references Table 5, Corridor Zoning Standards. Table 5 requires a rear yard setback of IS feet. The applicant proposes a minimum rear yard set back of 10 feet. Conclusion I7.S5.070(E): The proposed Land Division does not comply with the minimum standards for rear yard setbacks as set forth in Table 5, Section 17.65.070. Section 17.68.040 Criteria to Grant or Deny a PUD (C). That the location, size, design and operating characteristics of the PUD will have minimal adverse impact on the livability, value or appropriate development of the surrounding area. Finding I7.68.040(C): In reviewing the proposed PUD amendment and Land Division/Preliminary Development Plan against the surrounding land use pattern it is determined that the lots as proposed do not meet the width, and area standards of all standard single family lots within Cascade Meadows Pillage (excepting Lot 12). It was further determined that the existence of extenuating circumstances warranting any reduction in setbacks or lot width were revealed. Conclusion I7.b8.040(C): The proposed lots and lot design is not consistent with the character of the previously approved and developed standard single family lots. Section 17.65.040 (I). The PUD will be compatible with the surrounding area. Finding ,17.68.040(1): See Finding 17.68.040(C). Conclusion 17.68: See Finding 17.68.040(C). ~s PLANNING COMMISSION ItESOLCI'I`ION NO.

A City of Central Point Public Works Department Staff Report is not intended to replace the City's Standards & Specifications. Staff Reports are written in coordination with the City's Standards & Specifications to farm a useful guide. The City's Standards & Specifcations should be consulted for any information not contained in a Public Works Staff Report. 155 South Second Street ~ Cenfraf Point, OR 97542 •541.664.3321 ~ Fax 541.664.6384 Existing Infrastructure 1. Streets: Beall Lane is a County Road paved to twenty-four feet in width, with a deceleration lane often feet. It is designated a minor arterial in the City's Transportation System Plan. Haskell Street was paved as part of Cascade Meadows Phase 1 and is designed to TOD Collector Stan dard. Alta Lane was paved as part of Cascade Meadows Phase 1 and is designed to TOD Minor Residential Standards. 2. Water: There is an existing eight-inch water line in Alta Lane. Two water service lines were al- ready stubbed out to the parent parcel. 3. Storm Drain: There is existing twelve inch storm drain in Alta Lane. There are existing catch basins near the intersection of Haskell Street and Alta Lane. Astorm-drain Iine was stubbed out from the South side catch basin. 4. Sewer: There is an existing eight inch sanitary sewer line in Alta Lane with a six inch stub out into the parent parcel. Public Works Review As originally planned this parcel was designed for a Commercial Building. All of the utilities have been stubbed out to the parent parcel. The Public Works Department recommends as a condition of approval that the engineer explore the existing utilities to see if service lines can be connected to them in order to avoid cutting the newly paved street. The Public Works Department is willing to coordinate with the Developer on the coordination of these utility improvements. Transportation Currently Beall Lane is a country road that is paved to twenty four to forty feet in width. In the City of Central Point's Transportation System Plan Beall Lane is classified as a Minor Arterial. When improved, Minor Arterials are designed to handle up to 10,000 vehicle trips a day or 1000 P.M. Peak Hour Trips. The most recent traffic counts for Beall Lane were conducted by the City of Central Point in 2004. The total trips per day were approximately 5000. No major transportation improvements or land use applications have occurred since the count was completed. If approved as a PUD the proposed project entails the development of four residential lots. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers {ITE} Trip Generation Manual base figure of 9.55 average trips per day per residence, the project would potentially create up to 38.2 average daily trips or roughly 3.$ P.M. peak hour trips. The Public Works Department does not have standards that require Traffic Studies for new development. The City typically uses the Oregon Department of Transportation's (ODOT) Guide to Development Impact Analysis as a guideline for requiring traffic 155 Soufh Second Street Central Point, OR 97542 •541. fifi4.3321 ~ Fax 541. fi64. f 384 studies. Only developments of 150 or more single family homes require a traffic study Cascade Meadows Phase III Subdivision Condition of Approvals 1. Infrastructure Improvements: The developer's engineer shall explore options of connecting the existing utility stub-outs prior to designing utilities which will involve cutting Alta Street. 2. Public Utili Easement: Aten-foot wide public utility easement will need to be dedicated on the Final Plat. The applicant has not addressed where the PUE will be located. Standard Specifications and Goals The Central Point Public Works Department is charged with management of the City's infrastructure, including streets, waterworks, and storm water drainage facilities. In general, the Department's "Standard Specifications and Uniform Standard Details for Public Works Construction" shall govern how public facilities are to be constructed. The Developer is encouraged to obtain the latest version of these specifications from the Public Works Department. Central Paint Public Works is committed to working with the Planning Department and developers to assure that all developments are adequately served by public facilities. Public facilities not awned or maintained by the City of Central Point include: Power (PP&L}, Gas (Avista}, Communications (Qwest), and Sanitary Sewer (RVSS). In working together it is the Department's expectation that the developer will feel free to call on the Department whenever the standard specifications are not, in the developer's opinion, adequately meeting the needs of the development. The Department will listen to the developer's concerns and work with the developer to achieve the best outcome. However, the Department is not obligated to assure a profitable development and will not sacrifice quality for the sole purpose of reducing cost to the developer. It is always the developer's obligation to provide the public improvements necessary, as determined by the Public Works Department, to serve the development. The Department and the developer also have an obligation to assure that public facilities are constructed so that other properties are not adversely impacted by the development. Development Plans -~ Required Information Review of public improvement plans is initiated by the submittal of 3 sets of plans that are at least 95% complete. The plans shall include those of other agencies such as RVSS. Following plan review, the plans will be returned to the Developer's engineer including comments from Public Works Staff. In order to be entitled to further review, the Applicant's Engineer must respond to each comzxient of the prior review. All submittals and responses to comments must appear throughout the plans to be a realistic attempt to result in complete plan approval. Upon approval, the Applicant's Engineer shall submit (4) copies of the plans to the Department of Public Works. 155 South Second Street ~ Centraf Poinf, OR 975Q2 •549.664.3329 ~ Fax 541. fi64.6384 In general, the plan submittal shall include plan and profile for streets, water, storm drainage and sanitary sewers, storm drainage calculations, storm drainage basin map, erosion control plan, utility and outside agency notifications and approvals. The plan may also include applicable traffic studies, Legal descriptions and a traffic control plan. Public Works Permit A Public Works Permit will only be issued after the Department Director approves the final construction drawings. After approval, the fees associated with the development will be calculated and attached to the public works permit. All fees are required to be paid in full at the time the Public Works Permit is issued, except Public Works Inspection fees. After project completion during the final plat application process, the Public Works Inspector will calculate the appropriate amount of inspection time to assess the developer. Before the final plat application is processed the developer must pay the relevant inspections fees and bond for any uncompleted improvements (as determined by the Public Works Director). Cascade Meadows Phase III Subdivision -Plans 1. Three sets of plans at 95% complete stage are to be submitted for review by the Public Works Depart- ment. 2.

All requirements of the Oregon State Plumbing Specialty Code and the Oregon State Health Department, as they pertain to Public Water Systems, shall be strictly adhered to. 2. The City of Central Point Public Works Standards & Specifications should be consulted far specific information regarding the design and construction of water system related components. Cascade Meadows Please III Subdivision -Streets 1. The Developer's street designs shall consider the needs of people with disabilities and the aged, such as visually impaired pedestrians and mobility-impaired pedestrians.
