File No. ZC-18005 Community Development Tom Humphrey, AICP Community Development Director Consideration of amendments to Chapter 17.65.050, Table 2 Zoning Regulations—TOD District, and 17.67.070(13)(3)(a)(i)---Single Family Attached and Detached Residential Building Fayades, Applicant; City of Central Point: File No.: ZC-18003: Approval Criteria- CPMC 17. 10, Zoning Map and Text Amendments. STAFF SOURCE; Stephanie Honey, Principal Planner BACKGROUND Staff has identified minor changes to the zoning requirements in the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District that address conflicting development standards, conflicts between utility easements and structural setbacks in residential zones, and building design standards far attached garages in the TOS. The proposed amendments do not affect current policy and are consistent with the purpose of the TDD. Proposed text amendments are provided in Attachment 'W' and include the following: Secdon 1. CPMC 17 65.054, Table 2 o Corner Side Yard Setback. Change the minimum corner lot setback from 541 to 10 -ft and eliminate the maximum setback to avoid conflicts with utilities in the following zones: Low Mix Residential (LMR) zone Medium Mix Residential (MMR) zone o Front Yard Setback -Amend the minimum setback from 15 -ft to 0-14 as necessary to comply with the building design standard in CPMC 17.67.070(S)(2)(a). This section requires 75% of nonresidential and mixed use projects in the following zones to be built to the sidewalk edge. ■ General Comrnercial (GC) zone ■ Civic (C) zone Secden 2. CPMC 1767,070(D)(3){u}(1) -- Building Facades, Residential. Attached garages facing a public street are Limited to no more than 40 percent of the horizontal width of the front fagade. Staff has received feedback from developers that the existing standard reduces the ability to park and access standard and large size vehicles. Although the existing design requirement can be met with minimum accepted garage width (i.e. i0 -ft per space), developers have reported that it is difficult to open doors of standard and full size vehicles when the width is less than 12 -ft wide per space. In consideration of these challenges and the need to provide viable parking for residents, the proposed amendment increases the garage width to 45 percent of the front facade. The proposed change would allow greater flexibility to accommodate single- and two -car garages depending on lot dimensions, particularly in the LMR zone (Table l). In the MMR and HMR zones, lots that are designed to the minimum lot width require alley loaded garages. However, it should be noted that there are several lots in the MMR zone, particularly in Old Town, that do not have alley access and are big enough to support front loaded garages in compliance with the proposed change (Example 2). However, attached homes in the HMR zone require alley loaded garages comply with minimum density. 184 Table 1. of CunwiL and AftmoN ea .

In the North Village at Twin Creeks, Phase V there are fifteen (15) lots that do not have alley access and would be affected by this standard. Each is within the LMR zone and is planned for single family detached housing. The lot width per the tentative plan range from 70.0 to 80.0 feet. Based on the table above and minimum sPthack requirements, the narrowest lot would have a building footprint that is 60 -feet wide. This would accommodate both the single- and two -car garage options on the smallest lot. Example 2. In the MMR zone single family detached housing is not permitted. Attached row houses (i.e. single family attached housing) are permitted with a minimum 22 -ft lot width. A recent plan was received for a lot in the MMR zone with two (2) 26 -ft wide attached row houses. The current standard limits the garage width to 10 -ft. If the proposed amendment is approved to increase the horizontal width of the garage to 45% of the total front facade width, the garage width may be increased to 12 -ft. At this time, staff is requesting the Planning Commission forward a favorable recommendation to the City Council to approve the proposed text amendments. ISSUES None.

Applicant: City of Central Point 140 South 3`d Street Central Point, OR 97502 PART 1 INTRODUCTION Findings of Fact and Conclusion of Law The proposed text amendment aims to increase the maximum allowed garage width to provide viable covered parking and clarify the following minimum/maximum setbacks: + LMR and MMR zones to avoid conflicts with utility easements; ■ GC and C zones to eliminate a conflict with a design standard in CPMC 17.67.070(8)(2). The zone text amendment request is a legislative amendment, which is processed using Type IV application procedures. Type IV procedures set forth in Section 17.05.500 provides the basis for decisions upon standards and criteria in the development code and the comprehensive plan, when appropriate. Applicable development code criteria for this Application include CPMC 17. i0, which includes compliance with the statewide planning goals, comprehensive plan and Transportation Planning Rule. The amendment's compliance with applicable criteria are presented in Part 2 and summarized in Part 3. PART 2 - ZONING CODE COMPLIANCE 17.10.200 Initiation of amendments. A proposed amendment to the code or zoning map may be initiated by either: A. A resolution by the planning commission to the city council; B. A resolution of intent by the city council; or for zoning map amendments; C. An application by one or more property owners (zoning map amendments only), or their agents, of property affected by the proposed amendment. The amendment shall be accompanied by a legal description of the property or properties affected; proposed findings of facts supporting the proposed amendment, justifying the same and addressing the substantive standards for such an amendment as required by this chapter and by the Land Conservation and Development Commission of the state. (Ord. 1989 § 1(part), 2014). Finding CPMC 17.10.200: The Planning Commission is being asked to consider Resolution No. 857 to forward a favorable recommendation to the City Council regarding proposed changes to Central Planning Department Findings Page 1 of 6 188 Point Municipal Code (CPMC) Chapter 17.65, TOD Districts and Corridors; and Chapter 17.67, Design Standards—TOD Districts and Corridors. Conclusion 17.10.200: Consistent. 17.10.300 Major and minor amendments. There are two types of map and text amendments: A. Major Amendments. Major amendments are legislative policy decisions that establish by law general policies and regulations for future land use decisions, such as revisions to the zoning and land division ord.ina%c that have widespread. and sipfficant impact beyond .the. immediate area. Major amendments are reviewed using the Type IV procedure in Section 17.05.500. B. Minor Amendments. Minor amendments are those that involve the application of adopted policy to a specific development application, and not the adoption of new policy (i.e., major amendments). Minor amendments shall follow the Type III procedure, as set forth in Section 1', .05.400. The approval authority shall be the city council after review and recommendation by the planning commission. (Ord. 1989 § 1(part), 2014; Ord. 1874 §3 (part), 2006). Finding CPMC 17.10.300.' The proposed amendments are legislative changes to land use regulations in CPMC 17.65.050 and CPAIC 17.61.070. Although the changes consist ofcorrections and mirror adjustments to land use regulations, they qualify as a Major Amendment and have been processed in accordance with Type 1Y procedures in CPMC 17, 05.5000. Conclusion CPMC 17.10.300: Consistent. 17.10.400 Approval criteria. A recommendation or a decision to approve, approve with conditions or to deny an application for a text or map amendment shall be based on written findings and conclusions that address the following criteria: A. Approval of the request is consistent with the applicable statewide planning goals (major amendments only); Finding CPMC 17.10.400 (A): The proposed amendments have been reviewed against the Statewide Planning Goals andfound to comply as follows: Goal 1- Citizen Involvement. This goal requires that all citizens be given the opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process. As evidenced by the land use notifications in the newspaper on 7-24-2018, notice to DLCD on July 2, 2018 and advertisement on the City's website (www.ceneralpninL egon.gov/prajeetsl, the City has duly noticed the application as necessary to allow the opportunityfor citizen participation in the public hearings scheduled with the Planning Commission (8-7-2018) and City Council (8-23-2018) for the proposed text changes consistent with Goal 1. Goal 2 – Land Use Planning. Goal 2 addresses the land use planning procedures in Oregon, including the need to adopt comprehensive plans and implementing ordinances based on factual information. The proposed amendments are consistent with existing policy in the comprehensive plan and are aimed at correcting conflicts between standards in implementing ordinances, providing flexibility for structures to avoid conflicts with utility easements, and addressing parking needs in the city. The proposed changes are based on factual information from the Planning Department Findings Page 2 of 6 189 municipal code, industry standards for garage widths, and utility easement language that prohibits structures from being placed within a utility easement. Goal 3 - Agricultural Lands. Goal 3 addresses agricultural land within rural areas. The proposed text amendments do not afject agricultural lands or agricultural buffers that would be required adjacent to agricultural lands outside the urban growth boundary. On this basis, Goal 3 does not apply to the proposed text amendments. Goal 4 - Forest Lands. Goal 4 addresses forest lands within rural areas. The proposed text amendments do not affect forest lands or lands adjacent to forest lands; therefore. Goal 4 does not apply- S - QLyn 5 a•cis S e is an Historic A►'e�as an l Natt ra Resou Goal 3 establishes a process for each natural and cultural resource to be inventoried and evaluated. If deemed to be significant, local governments may preserve, allow uses that conflict with the resource, or allow a combination of the two. In Central Point, floodplains and historic structures have been inventoried, and ordinances lune been adopted to minimize impacts to each. Tire proposed text amendments would not affect any implementing ordinances that require or protect open spaces, natural resources, or scenic or historic areas associated with significant Goal 5 resources in the City. Goal 6 - Air Water and Land Resources Qualit . Goal 6 requires local comprehensive plans and implementing ordinances to comply with state and federal regulations on air, water and land quality° resource requirements. Because the proposed amendments are focused primarily on eliminating conflicts between setbacks and design standards and utility easements, the amendments will not impact the ability of development projects to comply with any applicable state or federal air, water or land quality requirements. Goal 7 - Areas Sub ect to No gral Hazards_ Goa 1 7 requires approprirtle. safeguards when planning far development in floodplains or other areas subject to natural hazards. In Central Point,floodplain development is regulated in accordance with CPMC 8.24, Flood Damage Prevention. Carthqualce and fire safety rs a function of building and fire codes. The proposed amendments! would not impede or otherwise conflict with the standards set forth in CPMC 8.24, the building code or fwe code as necessary to protect against flood earthquake, or f re damages. Goal 8- Recreational Needs. This goal requires communities to inventory existing parks and recreational facilities, and to project the needed facilities to serve all populations within the community. Correcting setback conflicts with utility easements and design standards, and increasing the allowed garage width by .5% will not generate any additional need for parks and recreation services - Goa t ervices_Goal 9 - Economy oLthe State. Goal 9 addresses diversification and improvement of the economy and specifically addresses commercial and industrial land. The proposed amendments would affect development on residential land, which is not the subject oj'Goal 9. It should be noted however that the proposed amendment to the garage width standard in CPMC" 17.67.070(D)(3)(a)(i), according to the local development community, negatively impacts the construction sector in terms of its ability to market and sell homes without adequate parking. The proposed amendment corrects the deficiency to serve residential needs, which supports the viability of the construction and real estate industries in Central Point consistent with Goal 9, Planning Department Findings Page 3 of 6 190 Goal 10 -- Housi . Goal 10 requires local communities to plan for and accommodate housing needs in the City. The proposed amendment supports housing with viable parking and eliminates conflicts between setbacks and utility easements to avoid potential damages and assure continued provision ofpublic services placed in those easements. Goal 11 — Public Facilities and Services. Goal I I calls for efficient planning of public services such as, sewer, water, law enforcement and fire protection to assure that public services are planned in accordance with a community's needs and capacities rather than to be forced to respond to development as it occurs. Public facilities and services are planned in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan Public Facilities Element and updated master plans for water, storrnwalei, elc_ The PYOposed amenclrnertls will nul uffecl the pruv3zoR-qfserw'ces or -generate - additional need for services not already planned for. Goal 12 — Transportation. Goal 12 aims to provide a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. To minimize parking congestion in TOD Districts, the proposed amendment affected garage width would address a standard that reduces frrnctionality of garages for usable parking space. Other amendments correcting code conflicts and utility easementAtrueture conflicts have no imperet on transportation facilities. Goal 13 — Ener2y_ Goal 13 has to do with conserving all forms of energy. The proposed amendments constitute minor adjustments and clarifications to avoid conflicts with easements and other sections of the code. As such, the proposed text amendments are not expected to increase energy utilization. Goal 14 — Urbanization. Goal 14 has to do with managing the City's growth in cot#unction with project need based on population and land use. The proposed amendments will trot affect population growth or land need; therefore, Goal 14 does not apply. Goals 15 Applies to the Willamette Valley and does not apply to the City of Central Point. Goals 16-19 - Applies to coastal areas and does not affect the City of Central Point. Conclusion CPMC 1710.400(A): Based on the nature of the proposed amendments and the findings above. the proposed changes to CPMC 17.65 and CPMCf7.67 are consistent with all applicable Statewide Planning Goals. B, Approval of the request is consistent with the Central Point comprehensive plan (major and minor amendments); Finding CPMC 17.10.400 (B): A review of the Central Point Comprehensive Plan identiliied the following relevant policies: Citizen involvement. Policy 3 — Citizen Influence. Whenever possible, citizens shall be given the opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process, including (1) data collection, (2) plan preparation, (3) adoption, (4) implementation, (5) evaluation, and (6) revision. Finding Citizen Inyolvrnnt Policy 3 —Citizen Influence: The proposed text amendments are being initiated by the City based on feedback and recommendations received by developers regarding code conflicts, design standard challenges, and issues with utility easements. To promote awareness of the proposed amendments, the City published notice of two (2) duly Planning Department Findings Page 4 of B 191 public hearings that have been scheduled with the Planning Commission (8/712018) and City Council (812 312 0 1 8) to receive testimony. In addition to publishing notice in the newspaper on July 24, 2018, notice was provided to DLCD and information was posted on the City's website (www,eentralaoingMWon.govlprajects . Conclugion Citizen Involvement Policy 3 — Citi7xn In uence: As evidenced by the City's collaboration with the development community and efforts to promote awareness of the proposed amendments and public involvement process, the proposed amendment was processed in accordance with Policy 3 for Citizen Involvement. Poli12y4 - Technical In rmation. The City will assure that all information used in the preparation of'the Plan or related reports is made available in an easy to understand form and is available for review at the community library, City Hall, or other location. Findke Citizen Involvement P lic . 4 -- Technical !n o►7nation. The City has based the proposed text amendments on identified code conflicts and best practices for transit oriented design. For example, a report on Transit Oriented Development Best Practices Handbook (hy.t/wssnv. recon ►recerrtga►nericr{.orgjussersZVpLQg_�fpraclicelJ Lodi) provides a summary of best practices including parking management. The report states that parking should be encouraged to the side or rear of buildings to promote pedach ian oriented development along street frontages. By implementing current design standards that minimize the width of'attached garages relative to front faVade width, the City is encouraging such design while providing flexibility in instances where side or rear access is not possible. The proposed increase in garage width from 40 to 45 percent of the overall front favade width recognizes the need for viable parking based on accepted industry standard (i.e. 10 -to 12 ft width per space). This assures that covered parking provided in situations that cannot feasibly accommodate side or rear loaded parking will be usable for a range of vehicle types and sizes. The remaining code amendments are corrections necessary to avoid conflicts with other code standardx, including provision of utility easements and design. Conclusion Citizen Involvement Policy 4 — Technical Informadon. The proposed amendment is based on technical information related to industry standards in construction and transit oriented design best practices. Transportation Element: Policy 3.1.2 The City shall continuously monitor and update the Land Development Code to maintain best practices in transient oriented design consistent with the overall land use objectives of the City.

Formerly 17-10.300(B)) - Finding CPMC 17.10.4 00 (D): The proposed text amendment does not involve any changes than would affect trip generation or public transportation facilities, such as an Increase in density or parking standards. The proposed amendment provides corrections that correct code conflicts between setbacks and design standards and utility easements. The proposed increase to attached garage width is a minor adjustment to provide usable covered parking where rear or side loaded parking is not possible Conclusion CPMC 17.10.400(D): Given the nature of the proposed amendments and lack of impact to traffii c. existing or planned transportation facilities, the proposed amendment complies with the TPR PART 3 — CONCLUSION As evidenced in findings and conclusions provided in Part 2, the proposed zone text amendment is consistent with applicable standards and criteria in the Central Point Municipal Code, including the Statewide Planning Goals (where applicable), Comprehensive Plan, and Statewide Transportation Planning Rule.
