VII. ORDINANCES, AND RESOLUTIONS
1. Second Reading Ordinance No. _______, an Ordinance to vacate a 6,145
square foot lot back to the developer (Applicant: City of Central Point)
Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore explained that this is the second
reading to vacate a small parcel of land back to the developer who owns the property
immediately adjacent.
The city received a small pocket park from the original developer of Snowy Butte
station in 2003. It was going to be a “tot-lot” with a small playground and gazebo.
The area around the property has primarily been built out as a senior living facility.
The city also received a larger parcel that is planned for improvements in 2019-2021
to be incorporated into the City’s active park system, and will be mostly open space.
The city has determined that the smaller pocket parks of less than 1 acre are difficult
and expensive to maintain for little use by citizens.
There will be no financial impact to the city other than lessening our future park
maintenance obligations.
Motion to approve Ordinance No. 2046, An Ordinance approving the vacation of
open space located in Snowy Butte Station, Phase 2, Central Point, Oregon and
Accepting Reservation of Easement to City.
RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS]

2. Resolution No. _________, Consideration of a resolution setting a public
hearing and initiating proceedings to vacate 400 feet of undeveloped alley
right-of-way located between Front Street and the Central Oregon and Pacific
Railroad adjacent to tax lots 2900 and 3000 located on Jackson County
Assessor’s map page 372W03DC. Applicant: Jackson County School District
6
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey stated that Jackson County
School District #6 acquired the old Crater Iron property late last year with the
intentions of turning it into a “Makers Space”. Buildings already on the property
extend into undeveloped alley right-of-way parallel to the railroad tracks and the
District would like the city to vacate this alley to eliminate land use conflicts. There
have been several parts of this alley right-of-way that have been vacated to various
property owners along this stretch of the railroad because the city had decided we

have no use for it. We may need easement agreements with the School District for
various purposes.
At this time the City Council is merely considering whether or not to schedule a
public hearing to consider the vacation. No other formal decision is necessary
tonight. Staff is prepared to post the notices for a public hearing to be held on August
23, 2018.
Motion to approve Resolution 1547, Setting a Public Hearing and Initiating
Proceedings to Vacate an Unimproved Alley Right-of-Way Between Front
Street and Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad for August 23, 2018.

VIII. BUSINESS
1. Planning Commission Report
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey presented the August 7, 2018
Planning Commission Report:
A public hearing to consider a tentative plan for a 5 lot subdivision. The project
site consists of 2.36 acres and is located in the Transit Oriented Development
(TOD) District, Low Mix Residential (LMR) zone and is identified on the Jackson
County Assessor’s map as 37 2W 03BD, Tax Lot 600. The applicant is Paul
Miller. The property is located at 4618 North Pacific Highway and will be
subdivided into 5 single family residential lots and a 1.6 acre remainder. The
remainder is in the floodplain and may be considered at a later date. The
Commission voted to approve the tentative plan with two conditions associated
with the reserve acreage and complying with local agency requirements.
A public hearing to consider a zone (map) change application from residential
multifamily (R-3) to tourist and office professional (C-4) for 0.43 acres located at
45, 63, and 77 Bigham Drive. The zone change would bring property into
compliance with the comprehensive plan land use map and to prepare the site
for future development. The applicant has acquired several lots zoned both
commercial and residential and has been working with the planning staff to
redevelop the area between Freeman Road and Bigham Drive. The Commission
considered the application in light of the Comprehensive Plan and the State’s
Transpiration Planning Rule in recommending approval to the City Council.
A public hearing to consider a minor zone (map) change application from
Residential Single Family (R-1-6) to Residential Multifamily(R-3) on 2.0 acres
located at 1849 Scenic Avenue. The commission considered this zone change to
bring property into compliance with the comprehensive plan land use map and to
evaluate the site for future residential development. The Housing Authority
acquired a two acre tax lot adjacent to its Scenic Heights development and has
been working with staff to expand their housing to the west. The commission
Packet Pg. 5 Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Aug 9, 2018 7:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA)
City of Central Point
City Council Minutes
August 9, 2018
Page 4
considered the application in light of the Comprehensive Plan and the State’s
Transportation Planning rule. A traffic analysis revealed a level of service
deficiency at the Upton/Scenic intersection caused by existing traffic southbound
on Upton and not by the expansion of Scenic Heights. Mitigation can be
considered independent of the zone change. The Commission recommended
approval of the zone change to the city Council but expressed their desire to
have the Council and city staff investigate better traffic control at the intersection.
A public hearing to consider amendments to the zoning and design standards in
the TOD district in Sections 17.65.050, Table 2; and CPMC 17.60.070(D)(3)(a)(i).
The purpose of the amendments is to correct setback standards that cause
conflicts between structures and utility easements and building design standards;
and to increase the maximum attached garage width for the front residential
building façade. Local developers and contractors have brought the three issues
to staff’s attention in the hope that code amendments will result in a reasonable
solution to existing conflicts between planning, building and utility standards. The
Commission recommended approval of the amendments to the City Council.
2. 2018 Run 4 Freedom Donation Request
Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore presented the Run 4 Freedom
report. The event was an outstanding success. The City had more runners in all
races this year than in past years. To help with the event we had volunteers from
three Crater High School youth organizations, The Cross Country Team, Cheer
leading, and Football Team. The event made approximately $3,085 from the
various runs. Each year we donate the funds for the volunteer organizations that
help with the event. Staff is recommending donations of $1,000 to each of the
three groups for their assistance.
Motion to approve donation of $1,000 to the Crater Cross Country Team,
Cheer leading Team, and Crater Football Team.
RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Michael Quilty, Ward II
SECONDER: Michael Parsons, At Large
AYES: Williams, Quilty, Thueson, Browning, Hernandez, Parsons
EXCUSED: Bruce Dingler
3. Snowy Butte Station Transportation System Development Charge Update
Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore explained that the city entered into
three SDC agreements with Chris Galpin in 2005/2006 regarding SDC credits for
Parks, Streets, and Storm Drain infrastructure. A supplemental budget item can be
created to refund the storm drain credits with an estimated total of less than $10,000.
The Parks SDC credits expired in 2015.
In reviewing the Street credits, it has been determined that there are two types of
credits that were initially available to the developer. There was never a formal
request to use the remaining street credits. He explained the history of the project
and the possible reasons the credits were never used. In reviewing all potentially
Packet Pg. 6 Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Aug 9, 2018 7:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA)
City of Central Point
City Council Minutes
August 9, 2018
Page 5
eligible projects, there were 28 townhouses that would have been eligible for a
maximum credit/refund amount of $100,828.00.
The City can budget for payment of the unused Street and Storm Drain SDC credits
as part of a 2019 supplemental budget. After having outside counsel review this
issue it has been determined that the city should refund at least part of the remaining
amount to the developer. Staff recommends issuing a refund of 50% because they
did build the development even though they did not make a formal request for the
credits.
Moved to refund $50,414 to the developer for the unused SDC’s.
RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS]

4. Authorization for the City Manager/Building Official to Award the 2018 City Hall
Roof Replacement Project Bid.
City Manager Chris Clayton explained that the existing roof for city hall and council
chamber buildings is approaching fifteen years of life and has numerous leaks and
repairs over the last few years.
The city received three bids for the 2018 City Hall Roof Replacement Project, which
ranged from $43,350 to $141,080. The 2017- 2019 Internal Services Fund includes
budget appropriation for facilities maintenance and as of May 2018 there was a
remaining balance of $93,570. The recommended bid of $43,350 would be
appropriated from the existing internal services/facilities maintenance capital line
item . There are no planned facilities maintenance for the remainder of this budget
cycle.
Motion to accept the Pressure Point Roofing Inc., bid for the 2018 City Hall
Roof Replacement project.

5. Mon Desir Gazebo
Mr. Samitore reminded the Council of the history involved with the Mon Desir
Gazebo. It was gifted to the City after a fire destroyed the historic building in 2011. At
that time the city agreed to place the gazebo in Skyrman Arboretum. The decision
being that the gazebo is composed of thin metal and therefore would not hold up to
the level of use that we typically see in a busier park.

There has been extensive discussion on social media regarding the future of the
gazebo and why it has not been placed in Don Jones Memorial Park yet. The Point
Restaurant is willing to accept the gazebo for use on their back patio if the city
agrees to move forward with a new roof and associated plaque. Staff estimates it
would cost between $1,000 to $1,500 for the new roof and historical plaque.
Council was in favor of donating the Mon Desir Gazebo with a new roof and plaque
to The Point Restaurant with an indemnification agreement.

ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2018
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider a request to annex 4632 North Pacific
Highway comprising 0.17acres (File No. ANNEX-18002). The properties
are identified on the Jackson County Assessors Map as 37S 2W 03BD,
Tax Lot 400 (portion). Applicant: Shirley Malcolm. Agent: Neathamer
Surveying, Inc.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant has agreed to bring a portion of her property into the City in order for a public
street known as Cascade Drive to be completed as part of an adjacent residential subdivision.
Completion of the street improves existing access to the Malcolm property and is a benefit to
the City and adjoining property owners.
ORS 222.125 authorizes annexation of property contiguous to cities when all of the owners of
land and a majority of electors consent. CPMC 1.20 vests the City Council with the authority to
order the annexation of unincorporated territory in the Urban Growth Boundary into the City of
Central Point. The property in question is identified in Attachment “A”.
This annexation is a ‘full consent annexation’ since the property owner has consented in writing
to the annexation.
Annexation Criteria:
1. Written Consents: The application includes written consent to annex from 100% of the
property owners and a majority of the electors within the annexation territory. The owner has
signed the petition which is evidence of written consent to annexation (Attachment B).
Accordingly, pursuant to ORS 222.125 and CPMC 1.24.020, the City Council may order the
annexation without notice, hearing or election.
2. Contiguous to City Limits: Pursuant to ORS 222.111, territory proposed for annexation
must be contiguous to the City or separated from it only by a public right-of-way or a stream,
lake or other body of water. The subject annexation area is contiguous to Central Point to the
north, east and south.
7.A
Packet Pg. 11
3. Within Urban Growth Boundary (UGB): The annexation territory is within the Urban
Growth Boundary of Central Point and is in compliance with the City-County Urban Growth
Boundary and Policy Agreement of September 1984 and amended in 1998 and again in 2015.
4. Orderly Provision of Public Facilities: The City-County Urban Growth Boundary and
Policy Agreement requires that, in considering an annexation, urban facilities and services must
be adequate in condition and capacity to accommodate the additional level of growth allowed by
the Comprehensive Plan within the annexation area prior to or concurrent with the development.
Public Works and Rogue Valley Sewer Services have reviewed the existing public facilities and
their proximity to the annexation area and concluded that public facilities can be provided or
extended to the site (refer to Attachment “C”). Any future enhancements of these facilities made
necessary by the expansion of the annexation area will be the responsibility of the property
owner and regulated through the City’s land use application process. This will result in an
orderly provision of public facilities to the annexation area.
5. Duly noticed and advertised notice of public hearing: Pursuant to ORS 222.120 notice of
the hearing was published for the City Council meeting on August 14, 2018, in the Mail Tribune
newspaper and notice was posted in four (4) public locations including the site itself. In
addition, on August 13, 2018 notice was mailed to each property owner of record within 250 feet
of the proposed annexation.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
Financial impact to the City is limited to staff in-kind expenses which are recovered with
planning- related service fees. The fiscal impact to the Public Works Department involves the
waiver of fees in exchange for complete public right-of-way and the ability to extend
infrastructure to a public park.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The primary issue associated with this annexation involved the coordination and dedication of
this property owner’s land in order to establish full right-of-way and complete a public street that
is part of two other residential developments. Public ownership of the entire street right-of-way
also ensures the City’s ability to expand infrastructure such as water and sewer in the vicinity.
As stated previously, ORS 222.125 authorizes annexation of property contiguous to cities when
all of the owners of land and a majority of electors consent.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
Managed Growth and Infrastructure, Goal 4; Continually ensure that planning and zoning review
and regulations are consistent with comprehensive plans and vision.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Open public hearing and consider the request to annex approximately 0.17 acres located at 37S
7.A
Packet Pg. 12
2W 03BD Tax Lot 400 (portion), close the public hearing and 1) approve the resolution for

A RESOLUTION ANNEXING 0.17 ACRES, LOCATED AT 4632 NORTH PACIFIC HIGHWAY (N. FRONT

A. Shirley A. Malcolm, Trustee of the Malcolm Family Trust owns one tax lot at 4632 North Pacific

ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2018
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and First Reading of an Ordinance to vacate 400 feet of
undeveloped alley right-of-way located between Front Street and the
Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad adjacent to tax lots 2900 and 3000
located on Jackson County Assessor’s map page 372W03DC. Applicant:
Jackson County School District 6
ACTION REQUIRED:
Ordinance 1st Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Jackson County School District #6 acquired the old Crater Iron property late last year with
intentions of turning it into a “Makers Space”. Buildings on the property extend into undeveloped
alley right-of-way parallel to the railroad tracks and the District would like the City to vacate this
alley right-of-way to eliminate land use conflicts.
Historic maps of this area show that the majority of this alley right-of-way (south of the Crater
Iron property to the wine tasting building) was vacated about the time that Highway 99 was
constructed. Another segment of the alley right-of-way was vacated in 2010 when the City
Council concluded that the alley right-of-way south of the wine tasting building had no real utility.
The area to be vacated now is an area (alley) approximately 18’ by 400’ that was originally part
of the Oak Park Addition. Since the alley right-of-way was a part of the addition, it would be
vacated in its entirety to tax lots 2900 and 3000 as located on Jackson County Assessor’s map
372W03DC.
ORS 271.080 states that “whenever any person interested in any real property in an
incorporated city in this state desires to vacate all or part of any street, avenue, boulevard, alley,
plat, public square or other public place, such person may file a petition therefor setting forth a
description of the ground proposed to be vacated, the purpose for which the ground is proposed
to be used and the reason for such vacation.” The School District has submitted a petition in
accordance with the ORS requirements.
Additionally, “there shall be appended to such petition, as a part thereof and as a basis for
granting the same, the consent of the owners of all abutting property and of not less than two-
thirds in area of the real property affected thereby.” The School District petition includes written
consent from two property owners in the immediate vicinity. The California and Pacific Railroad
was informed of the petition and has said there should be no issues from the railroad as long as
7.B
Packet Pg. 20
nothing moves onto railroad property.
According to ORS 271.120, “at the time fixed by the governing body for hearing the petition and
any objections filed thereto … the governing body shall hear the petition and objections and
shall determine whether the consent of the owners of the requisite area has been obtained,
whether notice has been duly given and whether the public interest will be prejudiced by the
vacation of such plat or street or parts thereof”.
“If such matters are determined in favor of the petition the governing body shall by ordinance
make such determination a matter of record and vacate such plat or street; otherwise it shall
deny the petition. The governing body may, upon hearing, grant the petition in part and deny it
in part, and make such reservations, or either, as appear to be for the public interest.
In response to the findings the Council must make; 1) the consent of the School District has
been obtained in accordance with ORS requirements, 2) notification has been given by way of
direct mail to property owners, newspaper publication and on-site postings and 3) public interest
will be determined during the course of the public hearing.
Planning Staff received comments from various agencies and utilities to which notice was sent.
AVISTA facilities are located in the Front Street right of way and not in the alley being
considered for vacation. CenturyLink (CTL) has buried cable in the vicinity but has not identified
the specific location. In past vacation proceedings the City has agreed to require easements
and reserve access to utilities as part of an ordinance action. The City will rely on the utilities
that have been notified to verify whether or not an easement(s) should be reserved.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
Financial impact to the City is limited to staff in-kind expenses which are recovered with
planning- related service fees.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The primary issues to be considered and discussed at the meeting will be related to ORS
271.080 to 150.
1. The tangible submission and adequacy of a petition requesting that the City of Central
Point vacate all or part of an unimproved alley right-of-way adjacent to the applicant’s
property.
2. The adequacy of the public notice given for the vacation hearing.
3. Whether the public interest and that of affected utilities have been considered in the
course of the public hearing and subsequent determination.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
Managed Growth and Infrastructure, Goal 4; Continually ensure that planning and zoning review
and regulations are consistent with comprehensive plans and vision.

ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2018
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and First Reading of an Ordinance approving a minor
zone map amendment from Residential Multifamily (R-3) to Tourist and
Office Professional (C-4) on 0.43 acres located at 45, 63, and 77 Bigham
Drive (37S2W02CD Tax Lot 600,700, and 1000). Applicant: Nelson
Investment Enterprises, LLC
ACTION REQUIRED:
Ordinance 1st Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant has requested a minor zone map change from R-3 (Residential
Multifamily) to C-4 (Tourist and Office Professional) with the intent of redeveloping the
site as part of a professional office project. The proposed zone map amendment would
affect three (3) parcels on Bigham Drive totaling 0.43 acres. The properties are
currently occupied with two (2) single family homes that are legally non-conforming to
the existing R-3 housing type and minimum density standard. The proposed zone
change would accommodate redevelopment of the properties with commercial uses
consistent with the applicant’s objective and the Employment Commercial land use
designation per the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at its regular meeting in August
to consider the proposal and unanimously recommended City Council approval
(Attachment “A”). In making its determination, the Planning Commission considered the
proposed zone change’s compliance with CPMC 17.10, Zoning Map and Text
Amendments as follows:
1. Central Point Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zone map amendment to
C-4 is consistent with the Employment Commercial Land Use Designation per
the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and Land Use Element.
2. Availability of adequate public facilities and services. The project site is
served with existing water, sewer, and storm drainage facilities. Any necessary
future infrastructure upgrades will be a function of development per the City’s
requirements for public services and streets.
7.C
Packet Pg. 32
3. Transportation Planning Rule (OAR 660-012-0060). A Traffic Impact Analysis
(TIA) was prepared by Southern Oregon Traffic Engineering, LLC on March 16,
2018 to evaluate the impacts of the proposed zone map amendment on the
functional classification and capacity of existing and planned infrastructure. The
City’s Level of Service (LOS) standards evaluate performance of the intersection
based on the amount of delay and congestion that occurs at the site. When LOS
degrades below LOS “D” to LOS “E” or “F”, the intersection is considered failing.
The TIA shows that the intersection of Bigham Drive and Freeman Road
operates at a Level of Service (LOS) “E” in 2018 without any construction on the
site, a condition that persists for 2018 and 2038 no-build and build conditions.
Traffic volume and the “S” curve configuration of Freeman Road near its
intersection with Bigham Drive are the primary factors resulting in delay for any
vehicle making a left-turn movement from Bigham Drive onto Freeman Road.
Per the TIA, the traffic generated by the proposed zone map amendment does
not worsen conditions and therefore complies with the TPR.
It should be noted that the TIA analysis assumed construction of improvements
on Freeman Road that would limit access at Bigham Drive to right-in/right-out.
The project was identified in the draft Interchange Area Management Plan
(IAMP) for Exit 33, but did not make it into the final IAMP 33 document.
Consequently, Southern Oregon Traffic Engineers re-evaluated the traffic
analysis and determined that the functional classification and performance of the
intersection remains unchanged in the absence of improvements to Freeman
Road. Therefore the proposed zone change remains consistent with the TPR.
During discussion the Planning Commission expressed concerns about potential
limited access at this location and requirements for future traffic studies.
Planning staff noted that Bigham Drive will provide a secondary access point for
future commercial uses at this location and explained that a TIA will likely be
required to fully evaluate impacts and any needed mitigation measures for the
larger commercial development contemplated for this site.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
Financial impact to the City is limited to staff in-kind expenses which are recovered with
planning- related service fees.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The primary issues to be considered and discussed at the meeting will be related to
CPMC 17.10.400.
1. A decision for a map amendment shall be based on approval criteria, applicable
regulations and factual evidence in the record.
2. A decision may be for denial, approval or approval with conditions.

COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
Managed Growth and Infrastructure, Goal 4; Continually ensure that planning and

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Open public hearing and consider the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map, close
public hearing and 1) forward the ordinance to a second reading, 2) make revisions and
forward the ordinance to a second reading, or 3) deny the ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Forward the ordinance approving the Bigham Drive Minor Zone Map Amendment to a
second reading.

AGENDA ITEM: VII-A.2
Consideration of a Zone (map) Change application from Residential Multifamily (R-3) to Tourist and
Office Professional (C-4) for 0.43 acres located at 45, 63, and 77 Bigham Drive. The Project Site is
identified on the Jackson County Assessor’s map as 37S 2W 02CD, Tax Lots 600, 700, and 1000. Applicant: Nelson Investment Enterprises, LLC (Craig Nelson). File No.: ZC-18003. Approval
Criteria: CPMC 17.10, Zoning Map and Zoning Code Text Amendments.
STAFF SOURCE:
Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner
BACKGROUND:
The applicant has requested a minor zone map amendment from R-3 to C-4 with the intent of
developing a consolidated commercial development for professional office uses at an unspecified
future date. In consideration of this application, there are three criteria that must be addressed per CPMC 17.10.400:
1. Comprehensive Plan Compliance. The current land use plan designation for the property is Employment Commercial, which is designed to accommodate a wide variety of retail, service
and office uses (Figure 1). The Employment Commercial designation was adopted in the 2018 Land Use Element update to replace the Tourist and Office-Professional classification.
Per the adopted Land Use Element, the proposed C-4 zoning designation is consistent with
the Employment Commercial Classification and abuts properties to the east that are planned and zoned the same.
2. Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning. The proposed zone map amendment occurs on three (3) lots on the northeast side of Bigham Drive. The properties to
the south and west are planned and zoned high density residential/R-3 and the properties to
the north and east are planned and zoned employment commercial/C-4 . Existing structures adjacent to the project location includes five (5) single family dwellings, two (2) that are
legally non-conforming to the high density residential designation and three (3) that are
legally nonconforming to the commercial designation.
Although the proposed zone change will increase the land area available for commercial development, the character and compatibility between uses will be a function of siting and design per CPMC 17.75, Design and Development Standards. As properties redevelop, they
will be subject to standards that aim to minimize conflicts between uses, including a 20-ft landscape buffer between commercial and residential uses. Additional site and building
design requirements promote pedestrian scale architecture and attractive walkable
environments necessary to assure compatibility with existing and planned uses. 3. Traffic Impacts/Transportation Planning Rule Compliance. The State Transportation
Planning Rule (TPR) in OAR 660-012-0060 requires changes to land use plans and
Community Development

Packet Pg. 36 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
land use regulations (i.e. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments and Zoning Map
Amendments) to be consistent with the function and capacity of existing and planned transportation facilities. The Applicant’s Traffic Impact Analysis shows that the traffic generated by the increased land use intensity will not alter the functional
classification for any existing or planned infrastructure (Attachment “C”). As
demonstrated in the Planning Department Supplemental Findings (Attachment “D”) the
proposed zone change can be accommodated by the transportation network and public services.
ISSUES:
There are no issues relative to this application.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
None.

Project: Bigham Drive R-3 to E-C / C-4 Comprehensive Plan Amendment / Zone Change
Subject: Traffic Impact Study Conclusion Clarification
Southern Oregon Transportation Engineering prepared a traffic impact study (TIS) dated March 14, 2018 for a proposed comprehensive plan map amendment and zone change from R-3 (High Density Residential) to E-C (Employment Commercial) / C-4 (Tourist/Office Professional) on 37S1W02CD tax lots 600, 700, and 1000. In our
conclusions we stated that the intersection of Bigham Drive and Freeman Road was shown in the analysis to be operating at a level of service (LOS) “E” under existing conditions, which exceeds the City’s LOS performance standard. A planned improvement in a draft version of the Interchange Area Management Plan (IAMP) for Exit 33 was cited as providing mitigation for this intersection in the future. We have since learned that this planned improvement did not get approved in the final version of the IAMP and will, therefore, not provide the mitigation referenced. This does not change the outcome of our analysis, but requires some clarification. The intersection of Bigham Drive and Freeman Road in our analysis is shown to operate at a LOS “E” under
existing conditions and continues to operate at a LOS “E” under year 2018 build, future year 2038 no-build, and future year 2038 build conditions. The proposed zone change, therefore, is not shown to degrade the performance of the intersection under existing or future conditions. This should have been stated in our original
analysis regardless of planned improvements. Our report conclusions remain the same as previously stated with one clarification. Streets and intersections that serve the subject property will accommodate projected p.m. peak hour traffic volumes from permitted uses under proposed C-4 zoning without requiring a change in the functional
classification of any existing or planned facility, or degrade the performance of an existing or planned facility that is otherwise projected to not meet the performance standards identified in the City’s Transportation System Plan (TSP) or Comprehensive Plan. The outcome is the same, but the referenced section of the TPR changes when
mitigation is not shown through a planned improvement. We hope this provides adequate clarification. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or
concerns.
Respectfully,

Consideration of a Zone (Map) Change Application on 0.43 acres at 45, 63, and 77 Bigham Drive. The property is identified on the Jackson County Assessor’s map as 37S 2W 02CD, Tax Lot 600, 700, and 1000.
Applicant: ) Findings of Fact
Nelson Investment Enterprises, LLC ) and 210 Valle Vista Drive ) Conclusion of Law Grants Pass, OR 97527
PART 1 INTRODUCTION
It is requested that the above referenced tax lots be rezoned from Residential Multifamily (R-3) to Tourist
and Office Professional (C-4). The purpose of the zone change is to comply with the Employment
Commercial (EC) Comprehensive Plan land use designation and to prepare for a consolidated commercial development that includes the subject properties.
The zone change request is a quasi-judicial map amendment, which is processed using Type III application procedures. Type III procedures set forth in Section 17.05.400 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: 1. Comprehensive Plan
2. State Transportation Planning Rule 3. CPMC, Chapter 17.10
PART 2 FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS
Staff has reviewed the Applicant’s Findings (Attachment “B” in the Staff Report dated August 7, 2018) and found that they address all of the applicable development code criteria for the proposed zone (map)
amendment. However, the Planning Department is providing supplemental findings addressing the State
Transportation Planning Rule below.
OAR 660-012-0060 – Transportation Planning Rule
The State Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) in OAR 660-012-0060 requires changes to land use plans
and land use regulations (i.e. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments and Zoning Map Amendments) to
be consistent with the function and capacity of existing and planned transportation facilities. Oregon
Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-012-0060 subsection (1) states the following:
(1) If an amendment to a functional plan, an acknowledged comprehensive plan, or a land use
regulation (including a zoning map) would significantly affect an existing or planned
transportation facility, then the local government must put in place measures as provided in
section (2) of this rule, unless the amendment is allowed under section (3), (9) or (10) of this rule.
7.C.a
Packet Pg. 73 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it would:
(a) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility
(exclusive of corrections of map errors in an adopted plan);
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(1)(a): A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was prepared for the
proposed zone change by Southern Oregon Transportation Engineering, LLC on March
14, 2018. A memorandum was submitted by Southern Oregon Transportation
Engineering, LLC on July 24, 2018 clarifying conclusions. Both documents are provided
as attachments to the Staff Report (Attachments “C-1” and “C-2”, respectively) and are
herein incorporated by reference as evidence addressing the proposed zone change
compliance with the comprehensive plan, local land use regulations and TPR.
The TIA evaluates the proposed zone change on the 0.43 acre project site (37S 2W 02CD
Tax Lots 600, 700, and 1000) from R-3 to EC/C-41, including the surrounding streets and
intersections on Freeman Road (Minor Arterial), Bigham Drive (Local) and Oak Street
(Local). Per Table 6 in the TIA, the zone change trip generation was evaluated based on
a 1,000 square foot medical office building as the highest use for the site. The analysis
reported a 27 total PM Peak trips, which does not result in any changes to the functional
street classifications on Freeman Road, Bigham Drive, or Oak Street.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(1)(a): Per the TIA, the traffic generated by the increased
land use intensity will not alter the functional classification for any existed or planned
infrastructure.
(b) Change standards implementing a functional classification system; or
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(1)(b):The standards implementing a functional
classification system are based on the Public Works Department Standard Specifications
and Uniform Details for Public Works Construction (2014). Table 1 in the TIA
summarizes the roadway classifications and operational standards that apply to the
transportation facilities evaluated. As shown in the TIA, the City’s operational standard
for all evaluated streets is LOS D. The intersection at Bigham Drive and Oak Street is
shown to operate at a LOS A under the no-build and build conditions for 2018 and 2038.
The intersection at Freeman and Bigham Drive, however, currently operate at a LOS E
under no-build conditions. The TIA shows that the intersection continues to operate at a
LOS E for the 2018 build, 2038 no build, and 2038 build conditions, and is not
aggravated by the proposed minor zone map amendment. As demonstrated by the TIA,
the proposed zone map amendment does not change any standards implementing the
functional classification system for Bigham, Freeman or Oak Street.
1 The Employment Commercial (EC) is in reference to the underlying land use designation, which includes the C-4
zoning classification per the 2018 Land Use Element adopted by Ordinance No. 2043 (herein incorporated by reference).
7.C.a
Packet Pg. 74 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(1)(b): Consistent.
(c) Result in any of the effects listed in paragraphs (A) through (C) of this subsection based
on projected conditions measured at the end of the planning period identified in the
adopted TSP. As part of evaluating projected conditions, the amount of traffic projected
to be generated within the areas of the amendment may be reduced if the amendment
includes an enforceable, ongoing requirement that would demonstrably limit traffic
generation, including, but not limited to, transportation demand management. This
reduction may diminish or completely eliminate the significant effect of the amendment.
(A) Types or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional
classification of an existing or planned transportation facility;
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(1)(c)(A): Travel and access are a function of
increased trips and driveway spacing. As demonstrated in Finding OAR 660-
012-0060(1)(a), the trips generated by the proposed zone change is consistent
with the functional street classifications for Freeman Road, Bigham Drive, and
Oak Street. Driveway and access standards are provided in the Public Works
Standards, Table 300-6 which specifies site access shall be located the farthest
distance away from a Minor Arterial (Freeman Road) and Local (Bigham Drive)
street intersection or 30-ft, whichever is greater. Per the Applicant’s TIA, travel
and access to the site on Bigham Drive is located at the south end of the affected
properties, approximately 180-feet from the intersection of Bigham Drive and
Freeman Road consistent with this standard.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(1)(c)(A): The access and travel on existing and
planned facilities is consistent with the functional classification standards set
forth in the Public Works Standard Specifications and TSP and Comprehensive
Plan.
(B) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility such
that it would not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP or
comprehensive plan; or,
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(1)(c)(B): As shown in Table 1, the intersection of
Freeman and Bigham will decline to an unacceptable level of service (LOS) “E”
under year 2018 no-build year and continue through build year 2038.

7.C.a
Packet Pg. 75 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
The TIA shows that the trips generated by the proposed zone change do not
degrade the performance of the existing street beyond current conditions.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(1)(c)(B): Consistent.
(C) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is
otherwise projected to not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP
or comprehensive plan.
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(1)(c)(C): As demonstrated in Finding OAR 660-
012-0060(1)(c)(B), the intersection of Freeman Road and Bigham Drive fails
during the 2018 and 2038 no-build scenarios. The proposed zone change does
not further aggravate the city’s operational standard.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(1)(c)(C): Consistent.
(2) If a local government determines that there would be a significant effect, then the local
government must ensure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function,
capacity, and performance standards of the facility measured at the end of the planning period
identified in the adopted TSP through one or a combination of the remedies listed in (a)
through (e) below, unless the amendment meets the balancing test in subsection 2(e) of this
section or qualifies for partial mitigation in section (11) of this rule. A local government using
subsection (2)(e), section (3), section (10) or section (11) to approve an amendment recognizes
that additional motor vehicle traffic congestion may result and that other facility providers
would not be expected to provide additional capacity for motor vehicles in response to this
congestion.
(a) Adopting measures that demonstrate allowed land uses are consistent with the planned,
function, capacity, and performance standards of the facility.
(b) Amending the TSP or comprehensive plan to provide transportation facilities,
improvements or services adequate to support the proposed land uses consistent with the
requirements of this division; such amendments shall include a funding plan or
mechanism consistent with section (4) or include an amendment to the transportation
finance plan so that the facility, improvement, or service will be provided by the end of
the planning period.
(c) Amending the TSP to modify the planned function, capacity or performance standards of
the transportation facility.
(d) Providing other measures as a condition of development or through a development
agreement or similar funding method, including but not limited to transportation system
management measures or minor transportation improvements. Local governments shall,
as part of the amendment, specify when measures or improvements provided pursuant to
7.C.a
Packet Pg. 76 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
this subsection will be provided.
(e) Providing improvements that would benefit modes other than the significantly affected
mode, improvements to facilities other than the significantly affected facility, or
improvements at other locations if:
(A) The provider of the significantly affected facility provides a written statement
that the system-wide benefits are sufficient to balance the significant effect, even
though the improvements would not result in consistency for all standards;
(B) The providers of facilities being improved at other locations provide written
statements of approval; and,
(C) The local jurisdictions where facilities are being improved provide written
statements of approval.
Finding OAR 660-012-060(2): As demonstrated in the findings and conclusions for OAR 660-
012-0060(1), transportation facilities will not be significantly affected by the proposed zone
map change.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(2): Not applicable.
(3) Notwithstanding sections(1) and (2) of this rule, a local government may approve an
amendment that would significantly affect an existing transportation facility without assuring
that the allowed land uses are consistent with the function, capacity, and performance
standards of the facility where:
(a) In the absence of the amendment, planned transportation facilities, improvements and
services as set forth in section (4) of this rule would not be adequate to achieve
consistency with the identified function, capacity or performance standard for that facility
by the end of the planning period identified in the TSP.
(b) Development resulting from the amendment will, at a minimum mitigate the impacts of
the amendment in a manner that avoids further degradation to the performance of the
facility by the time of the development through one or a combination of transportation
improvements or measures;
(c) The amendment does not involve property located in an interchange area as defined in
paragraph (d)(C); and
(d) For affected state highways, ODOT provides a written statement that the proposed
funding and timing for the identified mitigation improvements or measures are, at a
minimum, sufficient to avoid further degradation to the performance of the affected state
highway. However, if a local government provides the appropriate ODOT regional office
with written notice of a proposed amendment in a manner that provides ODOT
reasonable opportunity to submit a written statement into the record of the local
government proceeding, and ODOT does not provide a written statement, then the local
7.C.a
Packet Pg. 77 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
government may proceed with applying subsections (a) through (c) of this section.
Finding OAR 660-012-060(3): As demonstrated in the findings and conclusions for OAR 660-
012-0060(1), transportation facilities will not be significantly affected by the proposed zone
map change.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(3): Not applicable.
(4) Determinations under sections (1) through (3) of this rule shall be coordinated with affected
transportation facility and service providers and other affected local governments.
(a) In determining whether an amendment has a significant effect on an existing or planned
transportation facility under subsection (1)(c) of this rule, local governments shall rely on
existing transportation facilities and services and on the planned transportation facilities,
improvements and services set forth in subsections (b) and (c) below.
(b) Outside of interstate interchange areas, the following are considered planned facilities,
improvements, and services:
(A) Transportation facilities, improvements or services that are funded for
construction or implementation in the Statewide Transportation Improvement
Program or a locally or regionally adopted transportation improvement program
or capital improvement plan or program of a transportation service provider.
(B) Transportation facilities, improvements or services that are authorized in a local
transportation system plan and for which a funding plan or mechanism is in place
or approved. These include, but are not limited to, transportation facilities,
improvements or services for which: transportation systems development charge
revenues are being collected; a local improvement district or reimbursement
district has been established or will be established or will be established prior to
development; a development agreement has been adopted; or conditions of
approval to fund the improvement have been adopted.
(C) Transportation facilities, improvements or services in a metropolitan planning
organization (MPO) area that are part of the area’s federally-approved,
financially constrained regional transportation system plan.
(D) Improvements to state highways that are included as planned improvements in a
regional or local transportation system plan or comprehensive plan when ODOT
provides a written statement that the improvements are reasonably likely to be
provided by the end of the planning period.
(E) Improvements to regional and local roads, streets or other transportation facilities
or services that are included as planned improvements in a regional or local
transportation system plan or comprehensive plan when the local government9s)
7.C.a
Packet Pg. 78 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
or transportation service provider(s) responsible for the facility, improvement or
service provides a written statement that the facility, improvement or service is
reasonably likely to be provided by the end of the planning period.
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(4)(b): The proposed zone change occurs on property
within ¼ mile of Interchange 33 for Interstate 5.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(4)(b): Not applicable since the property is within an
adopted IAMP.
(c) Within interstate interchange areas, the improvements included in (b) (A)-(C) are
considered planned facilities, improvements and services, except where:
(A) ODOT provides a written statement that the proposed funding and timing of
mitigation measures are sufficient to avoid a significant adverse impact on the
Interstate Highway system, then local governments may also rely on the
improvements identified in paragraphs (b)(D) and (E) of this section; or,
(B) There is an adopted interchange area management plan, then local government
may also rely on the improvements identified in that plan and which are also
identified in paragraphs (b)(D) and (E) of this section.
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(4)(c): Although the IAMP and TSP do not identify
improvements adjacent to the site that would mitigate the existing LOS E deficiency at the
intersection of Freeman and Bigham Drive, ODOT provided written confirmation in an
email dated February 9, 2018 that the proposed zone change will not adversely affect the
highway system.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(4)(c):Consistent.
(d) As used in this section and section (3):
(A) Planned interchange means new interchanges and relocation of existing
interchanges that are authorized in an adopted transportation system plan or
comprehensive plan;
(B) Interstate highway means Interstates 5, 82, 84, 105, 205 and 405; and,
(C) Interstate interchange area means:
(i) Property within one-quarter mile of the ramp terminal intersection of an
existing or planned interchange on an Interstate Highway; or,
(ii) The interchange area as defined in the Interchange Area Management
Plan adopted as an amendment to the Oregon Highway Plan.
7.C.a
Packet Pg. 79 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
(e) For purposes of this section, a written statement provided pursuant to paragraphs (b)(D),
(b)(E), or (c)(A) provided by ODOT, a local government or transportation facility
provider, as appropriate, shall be conclusive in determining whether a transportation
facility, improvement or service is a planned transportation facility, improvement or
service. In the absence of a written statement, a local government can only rely upon
planned transportation facilities, improvements and services identified in paragraphs
(b)(A)-(C) to determine whether there is a significant effect that requires application of
the remedies in section (2).
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(4): As demonstrated in the Findings for OAR 660-012-
0060(4)(c), the proposed minor zone map amendment was coordinated with affected
transportation facility and service providers, including ODOT and the Central Point Public
Works Department.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(4): Consistent.
(9) Notwithstanding section (1) of this rule, a local government may find that an amendment to a
zoning map does not significantly affect an existing or planned facility if all of the following
requirements are met:
(a) The proposed zoning is consistent with the existing comprehensive plan map designation
and the amendment does not change the comprehensive plan map;
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(9)(a): The comprehensive plan designation for the subject
property is Employment Commercial (Ordinance No. 2043). Per the Land Use Element, the
Employment Commercial land use designation replaces the former Tourist and Office
Professional designation and is consistent with the C-4, Tourist and Office Professional
zoning proposed for the site.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(9)(a): Consistent.
(b) The local government has an acknowledged TSP and the proposed zoning is consistent
with the TSP; and,
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(9)(b): The City’s TSP was acknowledged on December 18,
2008 (Ordinance No. 1922) and was updated on October 8, 2015 (Ordinance No. 2017) to
incorporate IAMP 33 and IAMP 35 by reference into the TSP/Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. Per the TSP, the zoning is consistent with the functional classifications
and performance standards for the affected transportation facilities.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(9)(b): Consistent.
(c) The area subject to the zoning map amendment was not exempted from this rule at the
time of an urban growth boundary amendment as permitted in OAR 660-024-0020(1)(d),
or the area was exempted from this rule but the local government has a subsequently
acknowledged TSP amendment that accounted for urbanization of the area.
7.C.a
Packet Pg. 80 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(9)(c): The project site is located on 0.43 acres that was part of
the original town settlement when it was incorporated in 1889. Given the timing of
incorporation, it was not subject to this rule and therefore was not exempted from it. Since the
land was incorporated, it has been planned for urbanization as evidenced by existing
development and planned land use shown on comprehensive plan and zoning maps adopted
and updated over the years.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(9)(c): The findings in this section further support findings in
OAR 660-012-0060(1) in concluding that the proposed minor zone map amendment does not
significantly affect existing or planned transportation facilities.
(10) Notwithstanding sections (1) and (2) of this rule, a local government may amend a functional
plan, a comprehensive plan or a land use regulation without applying performance standards
related to motor vehicle traffic congestion (e.g. volume to capacity ratio or V/C), delay or
travel time if the amendment meets the requirements of subsection (a) of this section. This
section does not exempt a proposed amendment from other transportation performance
standards or policies that may apply including, but not limited to, safety for all modes,
network connectivity for all modes (e.g. sidewalks, bicycle lanes) and accessibility for freight
vehicles of a size and frequency required by the development.
(a) A proposed amendment qualifies for this section if it:
(A) Is a map or text amendment affecting only land entirely within a multimodal
mixed-use area (MMA); and
(B) Is consistent with the definition of an MMA and consistent with the function of
the MMA as described in the findings designating the MMA.
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(10)(a): The proposed map amendment is within an area
designated as an Activity Center in the Land Use Element (Ordinance No. 2043) and Rogue
Valley Metropolitan Area (RVMPO) Alternative Measures Activity Center.2 Activity Centers
are interchangeable with the term Transit Oriented/Mixed Use Pedestrian Friendly Areas.
These areas represent development of places that encourage neighborhood oriented, higher
density and mixed use environments that increase the convenience of walking, bicycling and
transit.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(10)(a): Consistent.
(b) For the purpose of this rule, “multimodal mixed-use area” or “MMA” means an area:
(A) With a boundary adopted by a local government as provided in subsection (d) or
(e) of this section and that has been acknowledged;
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(10)(b)(A): The subject properties are fully within
the boundary of a designated Activity Center as delineated in the Central Point
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and RVMPO Regional Transportation
2 2009-2034 Regional Transportation Plan, Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization. April 27, 2009.
7.C.a
Packet Pg. 81 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
Plan.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(10)(b)(A): Consistent.
(B) Entirely within an urban growth boundary;
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(10)(b)(B): The subject properties are entirely
within the Central Point Urban Growth Boundary as shown in the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(10)(b)(B): Consistent.
(C) With adopted plans and development regulations that allow the uses listed in
paragraphs (8)(b)(A) through (C) of this rule and that require new development
to be consistent with the characteristics listed in paragraphs (8)(b)(D) through
(H) of this rule;
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(10)(b)(C): The subject properties are within an
activity center that includes lands planned and zoned for a combination of
commercial and high density residential uses, specifically the R-3 and C-4 zones.
As shown in CPMC 17.28 (R-3) and CPMC 17.44 (C-4), uses allowed in this
activity center include densities ranging between 14 and 25 units per acre in
buildings up to 45-ft (if performance zoning is applied). Commercial uses
include a variety of professional office, personal service, and retail uses
consistent with OAR 660-012-0060(8)(b) (A) through (C).
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(10)(b)(C): Consistent.
(D) With land use regulations that do not require the provision of off-street parking,
or regulations that require lower levels of off-street parking than required in other
areas and allow flexibility to meet the parking requirements (e.g. count on-street
parking, allow long-term leases, allow shared parking); and
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(10)(b)(D): The land use regulations in this zone
permit reduced off-street parking up to 20% of the minimum/maximum
requirement. Per CPMC 17.64.040(D), shared parking is allowed and
encouraged in commercial zones, including the C-4 zone.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(10)(b)(D): Consistent.
(E) Located in one or more of the categories below:
(i) At least one-quarter mile from any ramp terminal intersection of existing
or planned interchanges;
7.C.a
Packet Pg. 82 Attachment: Attachment A - Planning Commission Resolution 855 (1031 : Bigham Zone Change (ZC-18003))
(ii) Within the area of an adopted Interchange Area Management Plan
(IAMP) and consistent with the IAMP; or
(iii) Within one-quarter mile of a ramp terminal intersection of an existing or
planned interchange if the mainline facility provider has provided written
concurrence with the MMA designation as provided in subsection (c) of
this section.
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(10)(b)(E): Using GIS measurements based on the
2017 aerial photo of Central Point, the subject properties are within
approximately 570-feet or 0.10 miles of Interstate 5 Exit 33. The property is
shown in the IAMP for Exit 33, but no projects are planned adjacent to the site.
Conclusion OAR 660-012-0060(10)(b)(E): Consistent.
(c) When a mainline facility provider reviews an MMA designation as provided in
subparagraph (b)(E)(iii) of this section, the provider must consider the factors listed in
paragraph (A) of this subsection.
(A) The potential for operational or safety effects to the interchange area and the
mainline highway, specifically considering:
(i) Whether the interchange area has a crash rate that is higher than the
statewide crash rate for similar facilities;
(ii) Whether the interchange area is in the top ten percent of locations
identified by the safety priority index system (SPIS) developed by
ODOT; and
(iii) Whether existing or potential future traffic queues on the interchange exit
ramps extend onto the mainline highway or the portion of the ramp
needed to safely accommodate deceleration.
(B) If there are operational or safety effects as described in paragraph (A) of this
subsection, the effects may be addressed by an agreement between the local
government and the facility provider regarding traffic management plans
favoring traffic movements away from the interchange, particularly those
facilitating clearing traffic queues on the interchange exit ramps.
Finding OAR 660-012-0060(10)(c): Per the TIA in Appendix G, Agency Requirements, there is
an email from ODOT Region 3 dated February 9, 2018 indicating their agency’s determination
that the development resulting from the proposed zone map amendment will not significantly
impact the state highway system. The TIA was distributed to ODOT Region 3 on July 1, 2018

Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Justin Gindlesperger, Community Planner II
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2018
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and First Reading of an Ordinance Approving a Minor
Zone Map Change on 2.0 acres from R-1-8 (Residential Single Family) to
R-3 (Residential Multifamily. The property is located at 1849 Scenic
Avenue and is identified on the Jackson County Assessor's Map as 37S
2W 03AB Tax Lot 4700.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Ordinance 1st Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at its regular meeting in
August to consider a minor zone map amendment request from R-1-8 to R-3. The
subject property consists of 2.0 acres on Scenic Avenue immediately west of the
existing Scenic Heights multifamily housing development. It is the applicant’s intent
to develop the property as a second phase to the adjoining multifamily development.
In considering the zone change, the Planning Commission addressed three (3)
approval criteria pursuant to CPMC 17.10.400:
1. Comprehensive Plan Compatibility. The current land use plan designation
for the property was amended from Low Density Residential to High Density
Residential as part of the Land Use Element update in 2018. The High
Density Residential Comprehensive Plan designation allows for the proposed
R-3 zoning designation. Per the updated Land Use Element, the R-3 zoning
designation is consistent with the High Density Residential designation and
abuts properties to the east that are zoned the same.
2. Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning. The subject
property for the proposed zone change is located along Scenic Avenue. The
abutting properties to the east are zoned R-3 and are developed with multi-
family residential dwellings. The property to the south is zoned for civic uses
and is developed with Scenic Middle School. The properties to the west are
zoned R-1-8 but the land use plan designation is Civic per the recently
adopted Land Use Element update. Jackson County Fire District No. 3 and
School District 6 own the properties and are in the preliminary stages of
7.D
Packet Pg. 88
developing plans for a new fire station and circulation improvements,
including the possible extension of Rock Way from Scenic Avenue to the
middle school parking lot. Pending completion, the fire station will replace an
existing nonconforming single family residence and Rock Way could serve as
a secondary access to the proposed R-3 lot. The character and compatibility
between proposed high density residential and civic uses is consistent with
planned and existing surrounding development.
3. Traffic Impacts. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is required to address
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, the Municipal Code and the
Oregon State Transportation Planning Rule (TPR). The TPR in OAR 660-012-
0060 requires changes to land use plans and land use regulations (i.e.
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments and Zoning Map Amendments) to be
consistent with the function and capacity of existing and planned
transportation facilities. As shown in the Applicant’s TIA, the traffic generated
by the increased land use intensity will not alter the functional classification
for any existing or planned infrastructure. As demonstrated in in the Planning
Department Supplemental Findings (Attachment “C”), the proposed zone
change can be accommodated by the transportation network and is
consistent with the TPR.
Based on the application’s demonstrated compliance with the relevant approval
criteria, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the minor
zone map change by the City Council (Attachment “A”).
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
Financial impact to the City is limited to staff in-kind expenses which are recovered with
planning- related service fees.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The primary issues to be considered and discussed at the meeting will be related to
CPMC 17.10.400.
1. A decision for a map amendment shall be based on approval criteria, applicable
regulations and factual evidence in the record.
2. A decision may be for denial, approval or approval with conditions.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
Managed Growth and Infrastructure, Goal 4; Continually ensure that planning and
zoning review and regulations are consistent with comprehensive plans and vision.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
7.D
Packet Pg. 89
Open public hearing and consider the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map, close
public hearing and 1) forward the ordinance to a second reading, 2) make revisions and
forward the ordinance to a second reading, or 3) deny the ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Forward the ordinance approving the Scenic Avenue Minor Zone Map Amendment to a
second reading.

Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2018
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and First Reading of an Ordinance to consider
amendments to Section 17.65.050, Table 2 Zoning Regulations--TOD
District; and CPMC 17.67.070(D)(3)(a)(i)--Residential Building Facades.
Applicant: City of Central Point.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Ordinance 1st Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at its regular meeting in August to
consider miscellaneous zoning text amendments to the Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
zoning and design standards in CPMC 17.65, TOD Districts and Corridors and CPMC 17.67,
Design and Development Standards—TOD District and Corridor (Attachment “A”). The City
initiated the amendments in response to feedback from the local development community to
address conflicts between planning, building and utility standards. During the hearing, one
Planning Commissioner stepped down due to a conflict of interest and the amendments were
unanimously approved by the remaining commissioners. A summary of the proposed
amendments is provided below:
CPMC 17.65.050, Table 2 – Zoning Regulations
Corner Side Yard Setback. Change the minimum corner setback from 5-ft to 10-ft and
eliminate the maximum setback to avoid conflicts between buildings and utility easements
in the LMR and MMR zones.
Front Yard Setback. Amend the minimum setback from 15-ft to 0-ft in the GC and C
zones as necessary to comply with the building design standard in CPMC
17.67.070(B)(2)(a). This section requires 75% of nonresidential and mixed-use projects to
be built to the sidewalk edge.
CPMC 17.67.070(D)(3)(a)(i) – Building Facades, Residential
Attached garages facing a public street are limited to no more than 40% of the horizontal width of
the front building façade. The standard aims to promote pedestrian-oriented building design on
public streets and does not apply to alley or side loaded garages. According to local developers
and contractors, this standard makes it difficult to build garages for homes on narrow lots that
can accommodate standard and full-size vehicle parking and access. The proposed amendment
7.E
Packet Pg. 152
increases the allowable width of attached garages to 45% to accommodate viable vehicle parking
in situations where alley or side access is not available.
As shown in Table 1, the proposed change provides the flexibility needed to provide usable
covered parking in street loaded garages within the LMR and MMR zones while maintaining the
intent of the TOD design standards. It should be noted that attached housing in the HMR zone
cannot accommodate a front-loaded attached garage. Based on staff’s analysis, other housing
types may be more appropriate in the HMR zone when alley access is not available.

Proposed 45% 12 26.7 24 53.3 50 22 18
Example1: In the North Village at Twin Creeks, Phase V, there are fifteen (15) lots that would
be affected by this standard. Each is within the LMR zone and is planned for single-family
detached housing. The lot widths per the tentative plan range from 70.0 to 80.0 feet. Based
on the table above and setback requirements in the LMR zone, 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 are permitted with a minimum 22-ft lot width. A recent preliminary development plan
was received for a small lot in the MMR zone with two (2) 26-ft wide attached row houses.
The current standard limits the garage width to 10-feet. If the standard is increased to 45%,
the garage width can be increased to 12 feet which is the industry standard for most garages.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
The financial impact to the City is limited to staff in-kind expenses which are recovered with
planning- related service fees.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The primary issue to be considered and discussed at the meeting will be related to CPMC
17.10.400.
1. A zoning text amendment is a legislative amendment and shall be based on criteria
including compliance with the Statewide Planning Goals, applicable Central Point
Comprehensive Plan policies, and the State Transportation Planning Rule.
2. A decision may be for approval, approval with revisions, or denial.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
Managed Growth and Infrastructure, Goal 4; Continually ensure that planning and zoning review
and regulations are consistent with comprehensive plans and vision.
