IV. PUBLIC APPEARANCES — NONE
V. BUSINESS
VI. DISCUSSION
A. Tom Humphrey gave an update on the medical and recreational marijuana
issues. He said that there were no dispensaries applying to Central Point at this time.
He attributed this to the locations which had been identified as open to dispensaries.
He stated that he believed that landlords in those areas did not want to lease to the
dispensaries. He added that the City Council was considering referring the marijuana
issues to the voters on the November ballot to allow them an opportunity to deny the
dispensaries in Central Point. He said that if the Council refers the issue to the
November election, then a moratorium will be in effect until the results of the
election.
B. Mr. Humphrey informed the Committee that Costco has submitted three
applications. A Conditional Use Permit, a Site Plan and Architectural Review, and a
Sign Variance which had come before the Planning Commission on January 5, 2016.
He said the outcome was that the Site Plan and Sign Variance were approved
CAC Minutes
July 14, 2015

contingent upon the approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Humphrey stated
that there had been traffic studies done and had identified several areas of impact,
including the I-5 interchange and the intersections of Airport Road and Biddle Rd.
ODOT was going to put in another right turn lane at the I-5 off ramp and Costco
would be contributing to that project.
He also stated that the City of Medford had not participated until late in the process
and that Costco had requested that the record be kept open for 7 days in order to
review Medford's comments and to receive additional comments from the public.
The deadline for comments was January 12, 2016 at 4:30 p.m. there have been 12
comments received which will be incorporated into the record. The Planning
Commission will deliberate and make a decision on the Conditional Use Permit at
their meeting on February 2, 2016. He stated that most of the comments had been
supportive.
Linda Reel asked why Costco was relocating. Mr. Humphrey said that their current
building was outdated and they have also outgrown both the building and the
location. The new Costco would be more energy efficient and would allow more
parking. There would also be a fueling station at the new location.
Mr. Humphrey informed the Committee that the Table Rock Road widening project
had been scheduled and the funding was in the works. He also said that there was a
plan for a signal at Airport and Biddle roads and that although there would certainly
be an impact on traffic during construction, there were mitigation plans for the
locations identified by the TIA.
C. Mr. Humphrey Introduced the proposed amendments to the 2008 Population
Element in the Comprehensive Plan. He stated that it was a necessary procedure in
order to forecast housing and land use needs. He said that in 2013 HB2253 assigned
the population forecasting to Portland State University in order to make things
consistent throughout the State. The population estimates would be done every 4
years and would be calculated based on building permits, demolitions and annexation
information. He informed the Committee that due to an aging population there has
been little or no increase in the population in 2014. He said that much of the current
growth was apparently due to migration to Oregon from other areas.
Linda Reel made a comment that Central Point seemed to be turning into a retirement
destination and that it would be beneficial to try to attract young families by
providing employment opportunities. Mr. Humphrey responded that there were
various factors to be taken into account regarding the growth of the community and
explained that Central Point would continue to grow, however migration would be an
important part of that growth. He explained the process for the City to bring in land in
from within the Urban Growth Boundary and that in order to do that, the City would
have to demonstrate a need for the land and their ability to provide services to the
CAC Minutes

area. He gave an overview of the current housing projects completed in the City. He
then explained that there had to be a separate concept plan for each urban reserve
area, and that a concept plan was intended to help cities imagine what they want to do
in the future. He said that the City's Regional Plan Element includes a provision that
prior to expansion of the urban growth boundary into an urban reserve area it is
necessary to adopt conceptual land use and transportation plans for the affected urban
reserve area. The City received a request to add Urban Reserve Area CP -3 to the
City's UGB for additional job creation. The City Council responded to this request by
passing a Resolution of Intent to initiate a UGB Amendment.
Mr. Humphrey said that City staff is initiating this preliminary discussion with the
Citizen's Advisory Committee in order to create a concept plan that reflects local land
use expectations and remedies for traffic congestion those land uses may generate.
The City agreed to an employment/open space split in the Regional Plan (42% and
58% respectively). The Committee will be asked for their opinions about the uses
they would like to see given the constraints that exist in this area.
Mr. Humphrey then asked the Committee to review the maps of Urban Reserve Area
CP -3 which he had provided. He requested that each member use the colored pens
provided and fill in the area on the map as they would envision it, including zoning
and types of businesses or uses they thought would be a good fit for the area.
The Committee discussed the pros and cons of different types of businesses and
zoning. They also discussed traffic patterns and road improvements, including
relocation of Penninger Road and a bridge over bear creek.
Mr. Humphrey said that RVTD had approached him regarding possibly extending
their routes into Central Point, but there was no definite plan at this time.
A question was asked about the status of the proposed RV park at the Expo. Mr.
Humphrey responded that Jackson County was moving ahead with the park. The
target date for opening was July of this year.
After completing their maps the Committee reviewed and discussed their various
ideas.

Adopted by City Council Resolution No. . June, 2016
.1
PART 1. INTRODUCTION
As part of the Regional Plan Element' it is required that the City prepare and adopt for each
of its eight (8) Urban Reserve Areas (URAs) a Conceptual Land Use Plant and a Conceptual
Transportation Plan 3prior to or in conjunction with an Urban Growth Boundary (UGB)
amendment within a given URA. This document addresses both conceptual plans, which are
collectively referred to as the CP -3 Concept Plan ('Concept Plan'). Figure 1 illustrates CP -3's
relationship to the City and the other URAs.

Figure 1. Central Point
As used in this report the
term 'concept plan' refers
to a document setting
forth a written and
illustrated set of general
actions designed to
achieve a desired goal that
will be further refined over
time as the planning
process moves from the
general (concept plan) to
specific site development.
In the case of CP -3, the
goal to be achieved is a
first generation refinement
of how the land use
distributions and
applicable performance
indicators of the Greater
tirbanRosorvasAmos Bear Creek Valley Regional
Plan (GBCVRP) will be
applied.
The concept plan is a
general land use guide prepared in accordance with, and intended to facilitate
implementation of the Regional Plan Element. It does not address compliance with the
Oregon Statewide Land Use Planning Goals, applicability of land use planning law, or
comprehensive plan compliance.
1 City of Central Point Ordinance 1964
2 City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan, Regional Plan Element, Section 4.1 Performance Indicators,
subsection 4.1.7
3 City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan, Regional Plan Element, Section 4.1 Performance Indicators,
subsection 4.1.8
These items will be appropriately addressed at some other time as the area's planning
proceeds through UGB amendment, annexation, zoning, site plan approval, and ultimately
development, with each step being guided by the Concept Plan.
The Concept Plan illustrates the City's basic development program for CP -3; which is
presented in Part 2 of this document. The remainder of the document (Part 3) is dedicated
to providing background information used in preparation of the Concept Plan, including
findings of compliance with the land use distribution and applicable Performance Indicators
in the City's Regional Plan Element.
In summary the Concept Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Regional Plan
Element and Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan including all applicable performance
indicators set forth in these documents. The development concept for CP -3 compliments
and supports local and regional objectives relative to land use distribution and needed
transportation corridors identified in the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan.
PART 2. THE CONCEPT PLAN
The long-term objective for CP -3 is that it will develop in uses that are complimentary to
those in the immediate area such as Bear Creek Greenway, open space and tourist
commercial uses. The URA's proximity to the 1-5 interchange, Bear Creek and the
Jackson County Expo both restrict and invite active and passive uses. The small portion
(1.9 ac) on the east side of Bear Creek is residential, is an exception to the Regional Plan
allocations and seems better suited to the City's residential zoning east of Gebhard
Road. The Concept Plan is comprised of two elements:
a. The Conceptual Land Use Plan (`Land Use Plan')
The primary objective of the Land Use Plan is to refine the land use
categories and spatial distribution of those categories throughout CP -3.
This is necessary because the Regional Plan Element only addresses land
use in terms of general land use types, i.e. residential, employment, etc.,
and percentage distribution of the land use.
The Regional Plan Element distributes land uses within CP -3 into two basic
land use classifications; employment (42%) and Open Space/Parks (58%).
Employment land includes three categories: retail, industrial, and public.
The Land Use Plan for CP -3 refines these allocations by aligning them with
the appropriate Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Zoning designations in
the City's Comprehensive Plan. Those designations are illustrated in Figure
2, and tabulated in Table 1 as follows:
Industrial. The Comprehensive Plan's industrial designation is
intended to 'establish a strong and diversified sector' and to
'maximize new development opportunities'. Land Use is broken
down into a new industrial category that was used in another
URA.
• Business Park (Business Offices and Service Commercial)
which is compatible with and closely related to uses
permitted in the City's M-1 and M-2 zoning but is developed
independent of those zones.
ii. Commercial. The Comprehensive Plan's commercial designation
in this case is intended to meet the needs of the traveling public
and local entrepreneurs. However, an East Side Transit Oriented
Development (TOD) Commercial designation can also be
assigned given the URA's proximity to mixed use zoning.
• Tourist and Office Professional District, intended to provide
for the development of concentrated tourist commercial
and entertainment facilities to serve both local residents
and traveling public and also for the development of
compatible professional office facilities;
• General Commercial (TOD-GC), Commercial and industrial
uses are primarily intended for this district. Activities which
are oriented and complementary to pedestrian travel and
transit are also encouraged.
Public. Parks and Open Space designation is consistent with the
Regional Plan Element and allows for the continued use and
improvement of the Bear Creek Greenway system, natural
drainage and agricultural buffers. It also provides opportunities
for passive recreational/open space use.

b. The Conceptual Transportation Plan (`Transportation
Plan')
The regionally significant transportation documents affecting CP -3 are
Interstate 5 (1-5), Interchange Area Management Plan (IAMP-33) and the
Bear Creek Greenway Management Plan. The Concept Plan identifies these
plans (Figure 2, CP -3 Concept Plan) and includes policies that encourage
the thoughtful development of the interchange and surrounding
properties.
c. Implementation Guidelines
The following guidelines are intended to serve as future action items:
Policy CP -3.1 Land Use: At time of inclusion in the City's urban growth
boundary (UGB) the property will be shown on the City's General Land
Use Plan Map as illustrated in the CP -3 Concept Plan, Figure 2 except
where the concept plan depicts a designation that does not currently
exist in the City's Comprehensive Plan. In such cases, the City may apply
a designation it deems appropriate under its current map designations.
Policy CP -3.2 Transportation: At time of inclusion in the City's urban
growth boundary (UGB) the local street network plan, road alignments
and transportation improvements identified in various state plans will
be included in the City's Transportation System's Plan (TSP) as
illustrated in the CP -3 Concept Plan, Figure 2 and where feasible. The
City has adopted IAMP 33 as a Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Policy CP -3.3 Adjacent Transit Oriented Development (TOD) district
land uses: CP -3's proximity to the Eastside TOD allows the City to
consider both TOD and conventional land use designations.
Policy CP -3.4: Committed Residential Density: At time of UGB
Expansion into CP -3, the county zoned residential land will be
designated higher density residential land to afford property owners
more options for future development and to be compatible with
adjacent city designations. Land designated for residential use was not
originally contemplated for CP -3 but land owner participation in recent
development proposals suggest it is better to preserve their land as
residential uses rather than change it to Open Space/Park designations.
Policy CP -3.5 Forest/Gibbon Acres Unincorporated Containment
Boundary: The City and Jackson County will have adopted an agreement
(Area of Mutual Planning Concern) for the management of
Forest/Gibbon Acres.
Policy CP -3.6 Agricultural Mitigation/Buffering: At time of UGB
Expansion into CP -3, the City and County will coordinate with RRVID to
identify, evaluate and prepare potential mitigation. The City will
implement agricultural buffers in accordance with adopted ordinances
at the time of annexation.
Policy CP -3.7 Traffic Mitigation: The City will follow access management
standards from its TSP and the Interchange Area Management Plan for
property along Peninger Road. Whenever possible, cross -access
easements and an internal street network will be pursued.
Policy CP -3.8 Bear Creek Greenway Enhancements: Access to the
Greenway from employment -based land uses is desirable and should be
facilitated as part of site development. If property from which the
Greenway is currently accessed redevelops, an alternative recreational
access should be incorporated as part of the land use plan.

PART 3. SUPPORT FINDINGS
The findings present in this section provide both background information and address
the Regional Plan Element's Performance Indicators.
a. Current Land Use Characteristics
This section describes the general character of CP -3 in its current condition.
Natural Landscape: CP -3 is traversed by Bear Creek which bisects the URA from
the northwest to the southeast. Environmentally sensitive land straddles the
creek on the east and west. Topographically, the land in CP -3 rises 10 to 15 feet
from Bear Creek which runs through the URA.
In spite of the creek and wetlands present in the URA, a significant percentage
of two tax lots are subject to the flood hazards as shown in Figure 4. Those areas
that are subject to flood zones will be required to perform mitigation if
developed in land use other than Greenway or Open Space. The County's land
use designation of Aggregate Resource (AR) undoubtedly anticipated mining
and gravel extraction.
Cultural Landscape: CP -3 is principally oriented to Bear Creek and the
Interstate -5 (1-5) interchange. Aggregate quarries operate south of the
boundaries of CP -3. Limited farming is done east of Bear Creek but the area is all
within the Central Point Urban Growth Boundary.
Jackson County Expo property is located to the northeast of the URA and none
of the County property is part of a future URA. Future Expo development is
guided by a master plan and the land uses within CP -3 could support activities at
the fairgrounds (i.e. hotels/motels, restaurants, etc.).

b. Current Land Use Designations & Zoning
Jackson County zoning acknowledges the unique geographic features of CP -3 by
designating land for both General Industrial and Interchange Commercial uses.
The area's proximity to the interstate and the railroad justified these land use
designations originally and they are expanded in the Greater Bear Creek Valley
Regional Plan under the general category of Employment land. The land uses in
the County's plan are as shown in Figure 5.

The proposed city zoning will be exclusively employment based in keeping with
the Regional Plan.
c. Existing Infrastructure
Water
Currently, public water service is available to CP -3 from Beebe Road and E Pine
Street.
Sanitary Sewer
CP -3 is in the RVSS service area and there is a trunk line that runs north and
south through the Bear Creek Greenway and it ties in to one on Beebe Road
(Figure 6). More lines will have to be extended to the area to serve employment
based needs.
Storm Drainage
CP -3 does not have an improved storm drainage system and relies upon natural
drainage and drainage from road improvements to channel water to Bear Creek.
Street System
CP -3 is accessed via 1-5 Exit 33, East Pine Street and Peninger Road with the
expectation that the Beebe Road/Gebhard Road connection will be extended
west across Bear Creek in the vicinity of an old bridge alignment. TAMP 33 and
the City's TSP dictate the nature of improvements over the next 20 year period.
These documents call for an internal circulation plan which the concept plan
proposes in Figure 2. The Bear Creek Greenway will be extended through URA
CP -3 by taking advantage of open space and floodways in Jackson County that is
owned by the Oregon Department of Transportation.
Irrigation District
CP -3 is located within the Rogue River Valley Irrigation District (RRVID).
Irrigation water is transferred via natural means. There are no dedicated
irrigation canals within the URA.

e. Applicable Performance Indicators
The following addresses each applicable performance indicator per Table 3:
4.1.2. City Adoption. The City has incorporated the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional
Plan (GBCVRP) into the Central Point Comprehensive Plan as the Regional Plan Element.
Finding: The GBCVRP has been taken into account in the preparation of this Conceptual
Plan.
Conclusion 4.1.2: Complies.
4.1.3. Urban Reserve Management Agreement. An URMA was adopted by the City
when it adopted its Regional Plan Element.
Finding: The URMA has been taken into account in the preparation of this Conceptual
Plan.
Conclusion 4.1.3: Complies.
4.1.4. Urban Growth Boundary Management Agreement. The UGBMA between Central
Point and Jackson County was revised to institutionalize and direct the management of
Forest/Gibbon Acres as an Area of Mutual Planning Concern. Other changes in the
agreement add an intent and purpose statement, align procedural language with the
County Comprehensive Plan and obligate the City and County to involve affected
Irrigation Districts in the land use planning process.
Finding: The UGBMA has been taken into account in the preparation of this Conceptual
Plan.
Conclusion 4.1.4: Complies.
4.1.5. Committed Residential Density. Land that is within a URA or currently within an Urban Growth
Boundary (UGB) but outside the existing City Limit shall be built, at a minimum, to the following
residential densities. This requirement can be offset by increasing the residential density in the
City Limit.

City T`
2010-2035 1 ■ 1■1

7.9
4.1.5.1. Prior to annexation, each city shall establish (or, if they exist already, shall
adjust) minimum densities in each of its residential zones such that if all areas build
out to the minimum allowed the committed densities shall be met. This shall be
made a condition of approval of a UGB amendment.
Finding: Of the 36 acres in CP -3 the Regional Plan doesn't reserve any acreage for residential use. The
1.88 acre area being proposed consists of three parcels (36 2W 02 TL 2600, 2601, 2602), which are
currently developed in both multi- and single-family residential use.
The Concept Plan applies the City's TOD-Medium Mix Residential (TOD-MMR) land use and zoning to
this property on the basis that the MMR zoning:
• Is consistent with the existing Residential land use designation and zoning for the area
immediately to the east (White Hawk Mixed -Use Master Plan); and
• The property abuts rural residential lands to the north and west which is in the county and
outside of a URA and a UGB.
The MMR zoning district has a minimum density of 11.0 dwelling units per gross acre, which is above the
committed average minimum density required in the Regional Plan Element (See Table 4 above).
In Table 5 an accounting of the Gross Buildable Acreage within the City/UGB by zoning, current
minimum allowable density per gross acre for each zoning district, minimum dwelling unit yield, and the
average minimum density per gross acre defines the City's current minimum build -out density. Based on
current zoning the City's Gross Buildable Acreage is capable of accommodating a minimum build -out
density of 7.1 units per gross acre, which exceeds the current planning period's minimum 6.9, but is less
than the long-term planning period's 7.9, required in the Regional Plan Element. Table 5 further
illustrates (Adjusted Totals) that the use of MMR zoning in CP -3, when added to the City's current gross
buildable acreage, does not reduce but rather contributes to the average minimum gross density.
Conclusion: Complies. With the use of the MMR zoning the City's committed density is essentially
unchanged and remains compliant with the current planning period's required minimum residential
density standard. The City acknowledges that in order to maintain both the current and long-term
planning period's minimum density requirement that:
1) Higher density zone changes may need to occur within the City as necessary to
increase the average minimum density identified in Table 5;
2) Future residential densities in the remaining URA Conceptual Land Use Plans will
need to either meet or exceed the minimum established densities in the Regional
Plan Element; or
3) A combination of the above.

4.1.6. Mixed Use/Pedestrian Friendly Areas. For land within a URA, each city shall
achieve the 2020 Benchmark targets for employment (Alternative Measure No. 6) as
established in the most recently adopted RTP.
Finding: The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Appendix B, Page 10 lists a 44% mixed-
use employment target for new development by 2020. New land use categories in the
Conceptual Plan can be adapted to create walkable/mixed use neighborhoods in CP -3.
Conclusion 4.1.6: Complies.
4.1.7. Conceptual Transportation Plans. Conceptual Transportation Plans shall be
prepared early enough in the planning and development cycle that the identified
regionally significant transportation corridors within each of the URAs can be protected
as cost-effectively as possible by available strategies and funding. A Conceptual
Transportation Plan for a URA or appropriate portion of a URA shall be prepared by the
City in collaboration with the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization,
applicable irrigation districts, Jackson County, and other affected agencies, and shall be
adopted by Jackson County and the respective city prior to or in conjunction with a UGB
amendment within that URA.
4.1.7.1. Transportation Infrastructure. The Conceptual Transportation Plan shall
identify a general network of regionally significant arterials under local
jurisdiction, transit corridors, bike and pedestrian paths, and associated projects
to provide mobility throughout the Region (including intra -city and inter -city, if
applicable).
Finding: The regionally significant transportation project within CP -3 is the
Beebe Road extension and bridge over Bear Creek. Additionally, the Interchange
Area Management Plan for Exit 33 (TAMP -33) identifies public improvements
and projects that have been taken into consideration as part of the CP -3
Conceptual Plan. The Bear Creek Greenway system, which is predominantly
pedestrian and bicycle oriented affects part but not all of CP -3. The Concept
Plan acknowledges the proximity of the Bear Creek Greenway system. The plan
generally represents an enhanced local street network and access management
improvements that are proposed in IAMP-33.
Conclusion 4.1.7.1: Complies.
4.1.8. Conceptual Land Use Plans: A proposal for a UGB Amendment into a designated
URA shall include a Conceptual Land Use Plan prepared by the City in collaboration with
the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization, applicable irrigation districts,
Jackson County, and other affected agencies for the area proposed to be added to the
UGB as follows:
4.1.8.1. Target Residential Density: The Conceptual Land Use Plan shall provide
sufficient information to demonstrate how the residential densities of Section
4.1.5 above will be met at full build -out of the area added through the UGB
amendment.
Finding: See Finding 4.1.5.
Conclusion: Complies.
4.1.8.2. Land Use Distribution. The Conceptual Land Use Plan shall indicate how
the proposal is consistent with the general distribution of land uses in the
Regional Plan, especially where a specific set of land uses were part of the
rationale for designating land which was determined by the Resource Lands
Review Committee to be commercial agricultural land as part of a URA
Finding: As illustrated in Table 4 the proposed land use distributions in the CP -3
Concept Plan are consistent with those presented in the Regional Plan Element.

include the transportation infrastructure required in Section 4.1.7 above.
Finding: The required transportation infrastructure per 4.1.7 is included in the
CP -3 Concept Plan (see Finding 4.1.7).
Conclusion 4.1.8.3: Complies.
4.1.8.4. Mixed Use/Pedestrian Friendly Areas. For land within a URA, each city
shall achieve the 2020 Benchmark targets for employment (Alternative Measure
No. 6) as established in the most recently adopted RTP.
Finding: The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Appendix B, Page 10 lists a 44%
mixed-use employment target for new development by 2020. New land use
categories in the Conceptual Plan can be adapted to create walkable/mixed use
neighborhoods in CP -3.
Conclusion 4.1.8.4: Complies.
4.1.9. Conditions. The following conditions apply to specific Urban Reserve Areas:
4.1.9.5 Central Point URA, Gibbon/Forest Acres. Prior to the expansion of the
Central Point Urban Growth Boundary into any Urban Reserve Area, the City
and Jackson County shall adopt an agreement (Area of Mutual Planning
Concern) for the management of Gibbons/Forest Acres Unincorporated
Containment Boundary.
Finding: The City has coordinated with Jackson County and entered into an Area
of Mutual Planning Concern Agreement prior to a UGB expansion into CP -3.
Conclusion 4.1.9.5: Complies
4.1.10. Agricultural Buffering. Participating jurisdictions designating Urban Reserve
Areas shall adopt the Regional Agricultural Buffering program in Volume 2, Appendix III
into their Comprehensive Plans as part of the adoption of the Regional Plan. The
agricultural buffering standards in Volume 2, Appendix III shall be adopted into their
land development codes prior to a UGB amendment.
Finding: CP -3 does not adjoin EFU zoned lands along any of its borders (see Figure 5).
Natural buffering occurs along the natural stream channel of Bear Creek and along
public rights-of-way. Some buffering has been shown in the Concept Plan in the form of
Bear Creek Greenway land use (see Figure 2). During the design/development phase,
the City will implement its Agricultural Buffering Ordinance to mitigate potential land
use conflicts.
Conclusion 4.1.10: Complies.
4.1.13. Urban Growth Boundary Amendment. Pursuant to ORS 197.298 and Oregon
Administrative Rule 660-021-0060, URAs designated in the Regional Plan are the first
priority lands used for a UGB amendment by participating cities.
Finding: The Regional Plan Element includes a provision that requires adoption of a
concept plan prior to urban growth boundary expansion into an urban reserve area.
The area coming into the UGB is part of the urban reserve for which this Conceptual
Plan has been prepared and therefore complies with the Regional Plan and the priority
system of the ORS and OAR.
Conclusion 4.1.13: Complies.
4.1.14. Land Division Restrictions. In addition to the provisions of Oregon
Administrative Rule 660-021-0040, the following apply to lots or parcels which are
located within a URA until they are annexed into a city:
4.1.14.4. Land divisions within a URA shall not be in conflict with the
transportation infrastructure identified in an adopted Conceptual
Transportation Plan.
Finding: The CP -3 Concept Plan was prepared in collaboration with Jackson
County and the RVMPO. Policies in the City -County UGBMA ensure continued
notification and coordination of infrastructure with proposed land divisions.
Conclusion 4.1.14.4: Complies.
4.1.17. Greater Coordination with the RVMPO. The participating jurisdictions shall
collaborate with the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Organization (RVMPO) to:
4.1.17.1.Prepare the Conceptual Transportation Plans identified in Section 4.1.7
4.1.17.2. Designate and protect the transportation infrastructure required in the
Conceptual Transportation Plans identified in Section 4.1.7 to ensure adequate
transportation connectivity, multimodal use, and minimize right of way costs.
4.1.17.3. Plan and coordinate the regionally significant transportation strategies
critical to the success of the adopted Regional Plan including the development
of mechanisms to preserve rights-of-way for the transportation infrastructure
identified in the Conceptual Transportation Plans; and
4.1.17.4. Establish a means of providing supplemental transportation funding to
mitigate impacts arising from future growth.
Finding: The RVMPO Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) determined that
Conceptual Plan CP -3 complies with the Regional Plan Part 3- Goals, Policies and
Potential Actions. The TAC voted unanimously to endorse CP -3 and to support
its implementation.
Conclusion 4.1.17: Complies.
4.1.18. Future Coordination with the RVCOG. The participating jurisdictions shall
collaborate with the Rogue Valley Council of Governments on future regional planning
that assists the participating jurisdictions in complying with the Regional Plan
performance indicators. This includes cooperation in a region -wide conceptual planning
process if funding is secured.
Finding: The CP -3 Concept Plan was prepared in collaboration with the RVCOG.
Conclusion 4.1.18: Complies.
4.1.20. Agricultural Task Force. The Agricultural Task Force shall develop a program to
assess the impacts on the agricultural economy of Jackson County arising from the loss
of agricultural land and/or the ability to irrigate agricultural land, which may result from
Urban Growth Boundary Amendments. The Agricultural Task Force shall also identify,
develop and recommend potential mitigation measures, including financial strategies to
offset those impacts. Appropriate mitigation measures shall be applied to Urban Growth
Boundary Amendment proposals.
Finding: The efforts of the County's Agricultural Task Force were considered in the
preparation of this plan. The CP -3
Concept Plan is consistent with the Regional Plan Element, is consistent with the City -
County UGBMA (which directs consultation with affected irrigation districts during UGB
planning) and is also consistent with new policies found in Jackson County's Agricultural
Lands Element resulting from ATF recommendations.
Conclusion 4.1.20: Complies.
