B. Public Hearing - Consideration of a Class "C" Variance to the maximum
density standard in the R-1-6 zoning district as necessary to partition a 0.22
acre site into two (2) parcels. The project site is located at 765 Ash Street,
which has frontage on both Ash and Chestnut Street. The property is
identified on the Jackson County Assessor's Map as 37S 2W 11BA, Tax Lot
600. Applicant: Bryan and Lisa Herrmann.
Mike Oliver read the rules of procedure governing a quasi-judicial hearing. There was no
conflict, cx parte contact or bias on the part of the Commissioners. John Whiting said
that he had looked the property up on the Jackson County website and Torn Van
Voorhees stated he had driven by the property.
Stephanie Holtey said that the Applicant is requesting approval of a Class C Variance to the
ntaxinrtun density standard in the R-1-6 zone as nemessary to obtain Final plat approval to partition
a 0.22 acre lot into two parcels. The property has previously received tentative plan approval
subject to conditions addressing density and agency requirements. The tentatively approved
parcels are within the minimumlrnaximum range for lot size and width, but exceed the maximum
density standard in the R-1-6 zone. The requested variance would increase density
commensurate with the minimum lot size allowed in the R-1-6 zone.
The project site is a tlunugh-lot with froutage on bath Ash and Chestnut Street. Per the
tentative plan, the through lot will be split so each parcel will have frontage on a public
street consistent with residential development permitted in the R-1-6 zone and most
surrounding properties.
Based oti the Applicant's Findings and the Planning Department supplemealai Findings, saaff
recommends the variance is justified on the basis that it complies with CPMC
17,13.500(C) variance criteria and is necessary to permit reasonable and permitted single
family residential development that would otherwise be prohibited by strict application of
the maximum density standard.
Ms. Holtey said the Class "C" Variance application is in compliance with the criteria set forth
in Chapter 17.13.500(C) of the Central Point Municipal Code

Ms. Bradley stated that in accordance with the City/County Urban Growth Boundary
Management Agreement, the Property retains its County land use and zoning designations
until annexation into the City, She stated the purpose of this application is to assure that the
zone change will remain in compliance with the land use designation on the comprehensive

underlying zones, and TOD designations represent optional standards that could be applied to
development at the property owner's discretion. The TOD Corridor allows a broad range of
land uses, including medium dunsity and multi -family residential, commercial and industrial
uses. The Applicant is requesting that the Property maintain the land use designation of TOD
Corridor when it is annexed, but apply a different zoning district than what is currently
planned. To ensure that the proper procedures are followed, the Applicant submitted an
application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment to clarify that the subsequent none change is
acceptable under the land use designations. The Applicant is requesting a 7.onc change front
TOD-NIMRIR-3 to TOD-LMRIR-2, which is consistent with the allowed uses within the
TOD-Corridor.

services and transportation networks available.

Mr. Harland said the application was precautionary so as to make certain the zone change
complied with the comprehensive plan. He explained to the Commissioners the reason for

the Planning Commission to recommend approval of the application..

notification radius around land use project sites.
DISCUSSION:
Central Point has been following the state requirements for mailing public notices as they apply to
land usa development and we have been using a 100 foot radius around a prosect site. local citizens
argue that this is an inadequate distance for there to be made aware of land use changes. The City
Council agreed and directed staff to investigate the practices of other local jurisdictions. It was
subsequently decided to expand the mailing radius to 250 feet around a project site and also to post a
sign with the notice on the site.
ISSUES:
There are no issues relative to this proposal and it is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal #1
which advocates the development ofa citizen invulvenrent program that ensure the opportunilyfor
citizens to be involved in all phases of the Manning process. The City has not received any
correspondcace (either support or objection) from the Department of Land Conservation and
Development (DLCD) to whom a notice of this code amendment was sent.

ATTACHMENT " ,*
To; Central Point Planning Commission and City Council
Subject: area of public notification
Date: October 30, 2017
Of course, the area of public notification area should be increased from 100 feet to 250 feet for
public notice of all meetings about planning actions conducted by the City. 100 feet is barely
one city lot. The effects of planning decisions can reverberate throughout a neighborhood. 100
feet is not nearly adequate to inform neighbors who will be affected by planning actions.
Neglecting to inform people of government actions can create a long-lasting legacy of ill -will,
mistrust, and delays. Better to make the effort to make people part of the process early on so
their coneems can be addressed and their ideas incorporated whenever possible.
As an example, we recently discovered that at least half of our neighbors received no
notification of the October 10 meeting of the Citizen's Advisory Committee to discuss a
Conceptual Land Use and Transportation Plan for Urban Reserve Area CP -5 and CP -6, although
they could be signi ficantiy a ffected by any decisions. 'rhe entire planning process could have
been completed without their knowledge, leaving them with no standing in the matter. That is
not how democracy should function.
No%vadays it seums that many people do riot read the local newspaper, much less the legal
notices. People who live outside the City see no reason to look at the City's website. Many
people do not even pay much attention to their mail unless they think it's a bi[l. The City should
consider a notice on the envelope to get people's attention, perhaps a red stamp that says''tliis
action may affect your property".
It is the responsibility of the City to ensure that citizens of the City and the County are
aware of planning decisions the City is contemplating that nug[ht affect them. I urge you to
increase the public notification area to 250 feet.
Thank you.

AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of an Ordinance amending the Central Point Municipal Code Section
17.05.600(h) regarding City Council review provisions.
STAFF SOURCE:
Chris Clayton, City Manager
Sydnee Dreyer, City Attorney
BACKGROUND:
Recently upon Council consideration to utilize Council Review procedures, it was determined
there were insufficient provisions in place with respect to: timing of call-up procedures, vote
requirements for call-up procedures, hearings procedures, and overlapping appellate
procedures. Council directed staff and the city attorney to research similar processes in other
cities and to bring back recommended code revisions that prescribe the council review
process.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
If Council were to exercise its review authority after an appeal was filed, the appellate fee
would be refunded to the appellant.
FINDINGS:
The amendments are necessary to ensure the Council Review authority is well defined and
the process set forth to avoid inconsistent application and/or to avoid appeal based upon
failure to follow appropriate procedure.
