The purpose of this chapter is to set forth clear and objective design and development standards to
facilitate the submittal and review of development proposals in a manner that implements the goals and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan maintain and enhance the City's Small Town Environment. The
standards set forth in this chapter are considered minimums and may be, on a case by case basis,
supplemented by the approving authority as necessary to mitigate impacts on abutting property that are
unique to the proposed development.
17.75.020. Applicability
The regulations set forth in this chapter apply to all development within the City of Central Point.
17.75.030. Site Design and Development Standards

-- - - --- -- -- --- ---...
17.75.031 General Connectivity, Circulation and Access Standards. j
The purpose of this section is to assure that the connectivity and transportation policies of the City's
Transportation System Plan are implemented. In achieving the objective of maintaining and enhancing the;
City's small town environment it is the City's goal to base its development pattern on a general
circulation grid using a walkable block system. Blocks may be comprised of public/private street right-
of-way, or accessways.
26 of 41 Ordinance No. 1946
1. Streets and Utilities. The public street and utility standards set forth in the City of
Central Point Department of Public Works Standard Specifications and Uniform Standard
Details for Public Works Construction shall apply to all development within the City.
2. Block Standards. The following block standards apply to all development:
a. Block perimeters shall not exceed two thousand 2,000 feet measured along the
public street right-of-way, or outside edges of accessways, or other acknowledged block
boundary as described in subsection d.
b. Block lengths shall not exceed six hundred (600) feet between through streets
or pedestrian accessways, measured along street right-of-way, or the pedestrian
accessway. Block dimensions are measured from right-of-way to right-of-way along
street frontages. A block's perimeter is the sum of all sides.
C. Accessways or private/retail streets may be used to meet the block length or
perimeter standards of this section provided they are designed in accordance with this
section and are open to the public at all times.
d. The standards for block perimeters and lengths may be modified to the
minimum extent necessary based on written findings that compliance with the standards
are not reasonably practicable or appropriate due to:
L Topographic constraints;
ii. Existing development patterns on abutting property which preclude the logical;
connection of streets or accessways;
iii. Major
facilities abutting the property such as railroads and
iv. Traffic safety concerns;
v. Functional and operational needs to create large commercial building(s); or
vi. Protection of significant natural resources.
3. Driveway and Property Access Standards. Vehicular access to properties shall be
located and constructed in accordance with the standards set forth in the City of Central Point
Department of Public Works Standard Specifications and Uniform Standard Details for Public
Works Construction, Section 320.10.30 — Driveway and Property Access.
4. Pedestrian Circulation. Attractive access routes for pedestrian travel shall be provided
through the public sidewalk system, and where necessary supplemented through the use of
pedestrian accessways as required to accomplish the following:
a. Reducing distances between destinations or activity areas such as public
sidewalks and building entrances;
b. Bridging across barriers and obstacles such as fragmented pathway systems,
wide streets, heavy vehicular traffic, and changes in level by connecting pedestrian
pathways with clearly marked crossings and inviting sidewalk design;
27 of 41 Ordinance No. 1946
C. Integrating signage
and lighting system which
offers interest and safety for
pedestrians;
d. Connecting parking
areas and destinations with
retail streets or pedestrian
accessways identified
through use of distinctive
paving materials, pavement
striping, grade separation, or
landscaping.
6. Accessways, Pedestrian.
!Pedestrian accessways may be
fused to meet the block
requirements of Section
17.75.031(2). When used
pedestrian accessways shall be
developed as illustrated in
Figure 17.75.01. All landscaped
areas next to pedestrian
accessways shall be maintained,
or plant materials chosen, to
maintain a clear sight zone
between three and eight feet
from the ground level.

elements of the building's mass.
For purposes of complying with the
requirements in this subsection "facade
articulation" shall consist of a combination of
two of the following design features:
a. Changes in plane with a depth
of at least 24 inches, either
horizontally or vertically, at
35 of 41 Ordinance No. 1946
intervals of not less than 20 feet and not more than 40 feet; or
b. Changes of color, texture, or material, either horizontally or vertically,
at intervals of not less than 20 feet and not more than 100 feet; or
c. A repeating pattern of wall recesses and projections, such as bays,
offsets, reveals or projecting ribs, that has a relief of at least eight inches.
3. Pedestrian Entrances. For buildings facing a street, a primary pedestrian entrance shall
be provided that is easily visible, or easily accessible, from the street right-of-way, or a
pedestrian access way. To ensure that building entrances are clearly visible and
identifiable to pedestrians the principal entry to the building shall be made prominent

towers, domes, spires, steeples, towers, or turrets; and
f. A repeating pattern of pilasters projecting from the fagade wall by a
minimum of eight inches or architectural or decorative columns.
4. Transparency. Transparency (glazing)
provides interest for the pedestrian,
connects the building exterior and interior,
puts eyes on the street/parking, promotes
reusability, and provides a human -scale
element on building facades. The
transparency standard applies to a building's
principal facade. Projects subject to this
