VII. DISCUSSION A. Housing Element. Don Burt gave an update to the Housing Element. He explained that the purpose of the housing element was to assure that the city had enough land to accommodate projected Planning Commission Minutes March7, 2017 Page4 growth over the next 20 years and to assure an adequate mix of housing and densities. He stated that in order to bring in more land, the city needed to prove it required it and would be able to provide services to it. He described the state's formula for assessing acres needed for projected growth and the different types or categories of buildable lands. He reviewed the city's current inventory of buildable land and He also explained the different types of housing. He discussed the city's housing history and how it impacted the state's current projections. He added that Portland State University was the entity that made the projections for the state and they adjust them every 4 years. There was some discussion regarding how the market drives development and average lot sizes and locations of current buildable lots. Mr. Burt said that he was planning to have a first draft of the Housing Element ready by May, 2017. B. Updates Tom Humphrey gave the commissioners an update on Costco. He said the Court of Appeals had affirmed the LUBA opinion and that there was a time period for that opinion to be appealed to the State Supreme Court, however there has been no information to date that the appellants were going to appeal again.

MISCELLANEOUS The foregoing minutes of the February 7, 2017 Planning Commission meeting were approved by the Planning Commission at its meeting on the day of, March, 2017. Planning Commission Chair Public Hearing to consider miscellaneous amendments to various sections of the Central Point Municipal Code STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM: A CENTRAL POINT STAFF REPORT March 7, 2017 Planning Department Tom Humphrey, AICP, Community Development Director/ Assistant City Administrator Public Hearing to consider miscellaneous amendments to various sections of the Central Point Municipal Code; Chapters 8.24- Flood Damage Prevention; 17.08 -Definitions, 17.24- R-2, Residential Two - Family District; 17.28- R-3, Residential Multiple -Family District; 17.37- C -2(M) Commercial -Medical District; 17.44- C-4, Tourist and Office -Professional District; 17.46- C-5, Thoroughfare Commercial; District; 17.64- Off -Street Parking and Loading; 17.65 & 67- TOD Districts and Corridors/Design Standards and 17.75- Design and Development Standards. The purpose of the amendments is to clarify administration of current policies and standards as they relate to Flood Damage Prevention, the TOD and TOD Design, off-street parking, off-street access ways, residential zoning flexibility and changes in commercial zones resulting from voter preference about medical marijuana dispensaries. (File No. 16033) Applicant: City of Central Point STAFF SOURCE: Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director BACKGROUND: Staff has identified numerous housekeeping changes that should be made to Chapter 17, Zoning. The proposed changes do not affect current policy, but would clarify administration of current policies and standards. Staff requested and the City Council approved a Resolution of Intent to pursue the proposed code amendments. The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) was notified and public hearings have been scheduled with the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council for final action. The Planning Commission may propose additional amendments prior to making a recommendation. The changes have been proposed in an ordinance format (Attachment A) since this is moving to the City Council for a first reading. PROPOSED CHANGES: The proposed amendments are: Section 1, Title 8.24.090 Establishment of floodplain development permit, revise development review permit procedure types as referenced in 17.05. Only the more significant projects will come before the Planning Commission. Section 2, Title 17.08. 010 Definitions, adds language to clarifYintent for alleys, streets, frontage and dwellings. "Alley" should be redefined to be consistent with definition of 'Alley" in Chapter 16, Subdivisions. "Frontage" as it is currently written creates some confusion with yard setback measurements for lots abutting a dedicated street, which can include an alley, or highway. "Dwelling Unit" definitions have two sets of definitions in the code; standard definitions and TOD definitions. For dwelling units these definitions need to be revisited and made consistent. Pagel of3 Section 3, Title 17.20.050, reduces the minimum lot area (interior) to 4,500 square feet in the R-1-6 Residential Single Family district to match standard single-family minimum in the TOD-LMR. Section 4, Title 17.24.050(H)(2), allows use ofTOD standards in the R-2 district per Section 17.65. Section 5, Title 17.28.050(B, allows use ofTOD standards in the R-2 district per Section 17.65. Section 6, Title 17.37.030(E), removes medical marijuana dispensaries from C -2(M) zoning district now that they are prohibited pursuant to the November 8, 2016 election results. Section 7, Title 17.44.030(A)(20), removes medical marijuana dispensaries from C-4 zoning district now that they are prohibited pursuant to the November 8, 2016 election results. Section 8, Title 17.46 030(29), removes medical marijuana dispensaries from C-5 zoning district now that they are prohibited pursuant to the November 8, 2016 election results. Section 9, Title 17.64.040, Table]7.64.04 Bicycle Parking Requirements, eliminates the requirement for covered parking, modifies the congregate residential category, adjusts the parking requirements for Congregate Housing, similar to what is stated in 17.75.039(H)(3), "Exceptions to Bicycle Parking". The community development director may allow exceptions to the bicycle parking standards in connection with temporary uses or uses that do not generate the need for bicyclists parking such as Christmas tree sales and ministorage units. Section 10, Title 17.65.050, Table 2 TOD District Zoning Standards, makes changes for rear setbacks in the TOD LMR and MMR zones to give more flexibility for infill development. Currently 15 feet in the TOD LMR and MMR, propose to reduce to 10 feet consistent with the R-2 and R-3 districts, which are similar in density and use. Section 11, Title 17.65.050 (F)(3)(a), As currently written parking in the TOD is subject to the parking standards in 17.64 with some exceptions. One of the exceptions requires that, "Fifty percent of all residential off-street parking areas shall be covered. Accessory unit parking spaces are not required to be covered. " Proposed change would remove this requirement entirely relying on 17.64 for the determination of covered parking. This modification removes the covered parking requirement for multi- family housing. Section 12, Title 17.67.040(A)(9)(b), refers to design requirements for off-street pedestrian access ways. Currently, there are two types of off-street access ways; Major and Minor. Section 17.67.040(A)(9)(b) needs to add the term "Major" to distinguish it from the minor off-street access ways in Section] 7.67.040(A) (9) (c). Section 13, Title 17.67.070(D)(3), deletes redundancy and a contradiction between 'shall' and 'should' language. Section 12, Title 17.75.039(E), adds minimum standards for off-street parking back-up and turning to Off -Street Turnaround Standards. This primarily applies to residential development.
