Community Development
FROM: Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner
MEETING DATE: March 14, 2019
SUBJECT: Citizen Satisfaction Survey Report
ACTION REQUIRED:
Information/Direction
RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable
On behalf of the City, Northwest Research Group conducted a survey of citizens residing in
Central Point earlier this year. The purpose of the survey is to determine citizen satisfaction and
expectations relative to city service delivery and overall quality of life. Additionally the survey
asked residents about priorities and preferences in regard to important City programs, budget
items and policy related matters.
Similar surveys have been conducted in 2010, 2012, and 2014/15 and are important part of
maintaining regular communication and positive relationships with the community. At the March
14, 2019 meeting, Rebecca Elmore-Yalch and Nathan Wiggin will be presenting the survey
results including the 5 Star Rating System score and a geographic analysis of survey results by
neighborhood.
A copy of the Neighborhood Map is attached for your reference along with a copy of the Final

City Manager Chris Clayton read the Quasi-judicial hearing statement. There were
no conflicts of interest or bias declared. Council member Rob Hernandez stated that
he has spoken with Chief Patterson regarding the sight and building options.
Community Planner II Justin Gindlesperger explained that this is the first reading and
public hearing for a minor zone map amendment at 1909 Scenic Avenue for a new
Fire District station. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing in
February to consider the request changing the zone from R-1-8 to Civic. He
explained compatibility to the Comprehensive Plan and surrounding land use zones.
A transportation impact analysis was conducted and indicates that the traffic
generated by the land use change will not alter the functional classification for
current or planned infrastructure. The proposed zone change can be accommodated
by the transportation network and is consistent with the State Transportation
Planning Rule.
The Planning Commission and Council both agree that the intersection of Upton/10th
should be watched and will need improvements in the near future. There is an error
on page 17 of the Council Packet. It shows property adjacent to this lot as R-1-8, but
was recently changed to R-3.
Mayor Williams opened the public hearing.
Fire District No. 3 Chief Paterson stated that they are excited about moving their
temporary Table Rock Station to help serve Central Point better.
Mayor Williams closed the public hearing.
Rob Hernandez moved to second reading An Ordinance Amending the Central
Point Zoning Map from R-1-8 (Residential Single Family) to Civic Zoning on

Mr. Clayton read the legislative statement. There were no conflict of interests, bias or
exparte communications declarations with the council members.
Principal Planner Stephanie Holtey introduced an Ordinance that would update the
Population Element of the Comprehensive Plan. She explained the background and
why we need to update the elements in the Comprehensive Plan before we can

submit our Urban Growth Boundary Amendment application to the State. The
Population Element reflects the recently updated population forecast for Central
Point’s Urban Area. The city is obligated to utilize the Portland State University
Population Research Center (PRC) published on June 30, 2018. The proposed
update is consistent with ORS and documents forecast growth over a 20 year period.
The goals and policies remain unchanged, the update includes tables and text. The
most significant finding is the increase in the City’s Average Annual Growth Rate
which went from 1.1% to 1.5% over the next 20 years. The population forecast
impacts our housing and residential land needs.
The 2019-2039 Population Element update aligns with the City Council Goal to
provide managed growth and infrastructure by continually ensuring that planning and
zoning review and regulations are consistent with comprehensive plans and our
vision for the city. The PSU numbers reveal that we have a steady growth in aging
population.
Mayor Williams opened the public hearing, no one came forward and the public
hearing was closed.

C. Second Reading of an Ordnance to Update and Adopting the Residential
Buildable Lands Inventory (2019-2039), Central Point Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Element
Mr. Clayton asked if there were any conflict of interest, bias or exparte
communications. Council members responded that they had none.
Mrs. Holtey explained that there were a few corrections to items in the City Council
Agenda Packet. The changes were items recommended by the Planning
Commission. These items will be corrected before the second reading of this
ordinance.
Mrs. Holtey explained that the Planning Commission and Citizens Advisory
Committee discussed changes to the working draft of the Buildable Lands Inventory
(BLI) at meetings in January and February. Public testimony addressed the
calculation of infill land likely to develop over the next 20 years. After listening to
testimony the Planning Commission voted to approve the 2019-2039 Residential BLI
recommending 20% infill. This document tracks the availability of buildable lands
within the city’s urban area that is likely to be redeveloped. The City tracks the

availability of buildable lands as building permits are issued. The city calculates
acreage for vacant land, infill land, and redevelopment land that is over half an acre.
The city has 260 gross acres of infill land representing 66% of the buildable land
supply. During the 1996-2016 BLI we saw 8% of the infill lands develop. Planning
Commission and staff recommendation is to apply a 20% infill rate. The city will
continue to work on incentives to help with infill projects.
Mayor Williams opened the public hearing.
Katy Mallams, Heritage Road, Central Point
Mrs. Mallams read a statement into the record and presented the City Recorder with
a written copy. She does not agree with the amount of infill of 20%. The city should
strive to make that 50% so that the city is working on infill and not expanding the
UGB as much. Less expansion equals a more compact city, reducing the cost of
infrastructure borne by the taxpayers. She does not agree with the assumptions used
to calculate the number of acres that could be redeveloped due to demolition.
Focusing on infill would help with the potential of blight in the older parts of town. The
city should focus on revitalizing and increase the residential and commercial appeal
and economic viability of the older part of the city and not expand the boundaries as
far.
Larry Martin, Taylor Road, Central Point - Representing Taylor West Group
The Taylor West Group supports the BLI proposal. The Planning Commission has
researched the infill numbers and the amount the city needs for the UGB expansion.
They also support the Population Element. City staff has done a good job with the
updates in order to propose a UGB amendment.
Mayor Williams closed the public hearing.
There was additional discussion regarding the infill amount of 20% and the facts that
support that number. We have offered several incentives to help with infill or
redevelopment of lots in town. The city will continue to be creative where we can for
lots that are challenging.

communications for this item. There were no conflicts for the council members.
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey presented the staff report for the
Public Hearing and First reading of an Ordinance Updating and Adopting the Central
Point Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element (2018-2038). This Element was
last acknowledged in 1983 and is in need of updating to account for over 30 years of
incremental changes that have occurred in the City of Central Point. The
Urbanization Element is modeled after Statewide Planning Goal 14 which
emphasizes the need for all communities to provide for an orderly and efficient
transition from rural to urban land use; accommodate urban population and urban
employment inside urban growth boundaries; ensure efficient use of land; and
provide for livable communities.
The Urbanization Element’s primary responsibility is to establish criteria to manage
the physical direction of the City’s planned growth. It relies on other Comprehensive
Plan elements. He presented livability principles, urbanization factors as established
by other Comp Plan elements. In order to expand the UGB the city must specify the
need for the land, location of utilities, water, and sewer. The city would concentrate
on lands that have been master planned first, and grow in a concentric pattern from
the center of Central Point.

Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore explained that as of March 1, 2019
the City will take over the management of the MS4 Phase II Permit through the
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality for our storm drain management. The
new permit has very prescriptive requirements about ordinances and regulatory
mechanisms and how they need to be placed by a particular time. The requirements
represent all the necessary changes for the City to manage storm water protection
within the city. Changes largely focus on how to deal with illicit discharge into the
city’s storm drain system and for management of new construction site activities.
These rules will be as restrictive as they were with RVSS when they were managing
the program.

X. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
City Manager Chris Clayton reported that:
SOREDI is requesting funding from cities in the region to help pay for a study. They
have asked the City of Central Point for a letter of support so that they can send it to the
state and apply for a grant. They have also asked the City to contribute $53,000 towards
the project. If the Council agrees to this contribution it would need to wait until after the
budget process is approved.
Council would like to have more information regarding the project, and what happens if the
state does not approve the grant. Will they be asking the cities for additional funds. Council
would also like to have an annual report from SOREDI to explain what they have done for
Central Point and the region specifically before they move forward with this request.
The tour of the ABK Court was very interesting. He was surprised at how many people
were in the facility. It definitely gave staff ideas of what can be accomplished here in
Central Point for our Community Center.
He attended a meeting for the Water Rights review being conducted by the Other Cities
Water Group.

ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council

Community Development
FROM: Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner
MEETING DATE: March 14, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordnance No. ________, Updating and Adopting the Residential
Buildable Lands Inventory (2019-2039), Central Point Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Element
ACTION REQUIRED:
Ordinance 2nd Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On February 5, 2019 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the
Residential Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI) for 2019-2039, a component of the Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Element, and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Council. After
considering the Planning Commission’s recommendation and conducting a public hearing at the
February28, 2019 meeting, the City Council forwarded the Residential BLI to a second reading.
Attached is a copy of the draft Residential BLI. It was last updated in 2017 as part of the
Housing Element update. The current update is necessary to account the buildable lands
available to accommodate housing needs for the next 20-years, a prerequisite to updating the
Housing Element and amending the UGB.
Residential BLI Overview:
The Residential BLI tracks the availability of buildable lands within the City’s Urban Area (i.e.
city urban growth boundary (UGB)). As defined in ORS 197.295(1), buildable lands include
those lands in the City’s urban area that are available, suitable and necessary for development
over the next 20-years, including vacant and partially developed lands that are likely to be
redeveloped.
The City maintains the Residential BLI database to track the availability of buildable lands as
building permits are issued. The database includes most current Assessor’s Property Data and
local land use information. Using this database, the City calculates acreage for the three types
of buildable lands as follows:
Vacant land: Sum acreage of parcels with an improvement value of $0.
Infill land: Identify all residential lots greater than 0.5 acre in size that are developed with
a single family dwelling. Subtract the area typical of a large home site (i.e. 10,890 SF).
The remaining site area is considered infill lands, meaning it has enough land area
outside a typical home site that can theoretically accommodate more residential units.
8.A
Packet Pg. 45
This calculation does not take into account existing development patterns, land to
improvement ratio, or other considerations that influence the ease and likelihood that the
property will develop.
Redevelopment land: These are lands with existing dwellings expected to be demolished
and replaced over the next 20-years. These are generally old structures with an
improvement value less than the land value. Since the City has not historically tracked
demolitions, redevelopment lands are calculated based on US Census methodology,
which applies a loss rate by housing type and the age of the home.
The most significant finding of the Residential BLI is that the City has 260 gross acres of infill
land, representing 66% of the City’s gross buildable lands supply. Determining the likely
participation rate for infill land over the next 20-years is the most significant issue associated
with the Residential BLI and will affect the City’s Housing Needs Analysis in the Housing
Element (CPA-18005).
At the February 28, 2019 City Council meeting, staff presented the results of an infill
participation study conducted for the period 1996-2016 (“Infill Study”). The Infill Study found that
residential infill development accounted for 6% of the housing and 8% of the residential land
supply during that time period. The study supports the finding that not all of the available infill
lands will redevelop over the next 20-years. However, infill is an important aspect of the City’s
development strategy and the City has adopted policies to support and encourage increased
infill development. Table 1 illustrates six (6) possible scenarios discussed by the City Council.
Table 1. Infill Participation Alternatives Analysis
Infill Participation Rates
100% 50% 30% 20% 15% 10%
Total Gross Buildable Acres 410 410 410 410 410 410
Vacant Acres 83 83 83 83 83 83

TOTAL ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL LAND
NEED 150 246 285 305 314 324
Staff recommends increasing the infill percentage from 8% to 20% for purposes of the 2019-
2039 Residential BLI. This recommendation is based on the need to increase infill participation
per existing policies and a determination that 20% is likely to be achieved during the 20-year
planning period as shown in Figure 1. The 20% infill scenario in Figure 1 is based on
development inquiries received for land development, land use approvals for master plans and
subdivisions, and anticipated build out of large lots in the Eastside TOD.
Public testimony was received in opposition to this recommendation citing concerns that 20%
would not constitute efficient use of land in the current UGB. In the alternative, a 50% Infill
Adjustment was recommended to use more land within the current UGB and minimize the need
to expand into the rural and agricultural lands in the City’s Urban Reserve Areas.
Staff addressed questions of the Council relative to the public testimony. It was noted that the
8.A
Packet Pg. 46
matter was discussed during the public hearing at the February 5, 2019 Planning Commission
meeting.
In light of the housing concerns facing the City and lack of evidence showing that 50% of the
infill land is likely to occur by 2039, the Planning Commission voted to recommend a 20% infill
adjustment for consideration by the City Council. Members of the Commission stated that 20%
almost triples the historic infill participation rate and that, although the 20% scenario may not
occur, it can be considered as likely to occur. City Council forwarded the Residential BLI to a
second reading with the 20% infill adjustment. Per Table 1 the 20% infill adjustment results in
105 acres of buildable land that are available, suitable and necessary for development over the
next 20-years.
Figure 1. 20% Infill Participation Scenario
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
The buildable lands inventory tracks the availability of land and does not generate additional
cost to the City beyond the in-kind staff expenses, postage and legal notification costs included
and budgeted for Community Development.
8.A
Packet Pg. 47
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The Residential BLI is a component of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Text
amendments are considered “Major Amendments” per CPMC 17.96.300 and are subject to
Type IV Legislative application procedures per CPMC 17.05.500. Conducting a second public
hearing by the City Council is necessary and consistent with the requisite procedures to adopt
changes to the forecast population.
Aside from procedural compliance, the primary changes to be discussed include the likely Infill
Adjustment and the City’s efforts to engage and inform the public about the availability of
buildable lands over the next 20-years.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
The City Council goal to provide managed growth and infrastructure is predicated on the ability
of the City to forecast growth and the corresponding land and service needs over the long term
relative to the ability of the City to accommodate growth within the current UGB. The 2019-2039
Residential BLI aligns with Council’s goal by tracking the City’s buildable lands, a prerequisite
to, “Continually ensuring that planning and zoning review and regulations are consistent with
comprehensive plans and vision.”
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Consider the Second Reading of the proposed amendment to the Residential Buildable Lands
Inventory (2019-2039) of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and 1) approve the
ordinance; 2) approve the ordinance with revisions; or 3) deny the ordinance.

1. INTRODUCTION
The use and availability of buildable land is a critical component in tracking a community’s rate of
growth, and the subsequent need for additional land to support future growth. The primary purpose
of the Residential Buildable Land Inventory (BLI) is to maintain a record of the availability of
buildable residential lands within the City’s urban area (Figure 1). The BLI is prepared in
accordance with OAR 660-24-0050(1) requiring that cities maintain a buildable lands inventory
within the urban growth boundary sufficient to accommodate the residential needs for a 20-year
planning period as determined in OAR 660-024-0040.

REVIEW DRAFT – 2019 Residential BLI Page 3 of 23
By definition the BLI is strictly a land inventory system. The BLI is not a policy document. The
BLI is used by other Comprehensive Plan elements as a resource for the development and
monitoring of policy.
The BLI is considered a living document that is continually updated as development activity occurs
and is entered into the BLI electronic data base (BLI2019).
2. LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS AND ZONING
The BLI maintains an accounting of all lands by land use classification and zoning. The City’s
Comprehensive Plan contains six (6) land use classifications and sixteen (16) sub-classifications
(Table 1). Each of the land use classifications are supported by one, or more, of twenty (20) zoning
districts (Table 2). The Land Use Classifications and Zoning districts are defined and mapped in the
Land Use Element.
3. LAND INVENTORY
As of December 31, 2018, the City of Central Point’s urban area contained a total of 2,972 gross
acres (Table 1 and 2). Public right-of-way, parks/open space and civic uses accounted for 33% of
the City’s total gross acreage, while residential (50%), commercial (8%), and industrial (9%) land
accounted for the remaining acreage. When public right-of-way is removed, there are 2,271 (77%)
net acres within the City’s urban area.

4. DEFINITIONS and METHODOLOGY
To maintain consistency in the maintenance of the BLI the definitions and methodology
used in preparing the BLI are presented in Appendix “A” – Definitions and Appendix “B” –
Methodology.
5. BUILDABLE RESIDENTIAL LAND INVENTORY
Within the City’s urban area, there are approximately 1,490 acres of residential land distributed over
four (4) residential land use classifications and seven (7) zoning districts. Approximately 105 acres
(7%) of the City’s total residential land is considered buildable acres. Table 3 and 4 identify the
unadjusted distribution of the residential vacant land by vacant land type (vacant, infill,
redevelopment), and total buildable acres. Figure 2 illustrates the geographic distribution of the
City’s residential buildable land inventory (12/31/2018).
In calculating the Residential Buildable Lands a determination must be made that the buildable
lands are suitable, available and necessary (OAR 660-008-0005(2)) for development throughout the
20-year planning period. There are two basic classifications of buildable residential land:
a. Vacant Land –Lands on which there is no development. Infrastructure is available within
the 20-year planning period.
b. Redevelopable Land –Lands on which development has already occurred but on which, due
to present or expected market forces, there exists the strong likelihood that existing
development will be converted to more intensive residential uses during the planning period
(OAR 660-008-0050(7). Redevelopable Land is further categorized as:
i. Infill Land – These are lands which are partially developed, but have the potential
for infill development. Infrastructure is available; and
ii. Redevelopment (Demolition) Land – These are lands which are currently improved,
but the improvements are generally old and the land value exceeds improvement
value. Infra-structure is available.
The definition of “Buildable Land” uses the term “likely” in referencing redevelopable residential
land. For purposes of context the City refines the likelihood and reasonableness definition for
Redevelopable Land as follows:
5.1 Infill Lands Availability Adjusted. As defined in OAR 660-024-0050(2)(a) the infill
land classification accounts for an extraordinarily large percentage (67%) of the City’s
vacant residential lands inventory (Tables 3 and 4). As a vacant land classification the

REVIEW DRAFT – 2019 Residential BLI Page 7 of 23
reasonableness and likelihood of counting all Infill Land as being available for development
during the planning period is questionable. Infill Lands are small in size and comprised of
many individual property owners with a wide range of real estate development skills and
tolerance for risk. To assume that all Infill Land is available places a significant burden on
the City’s ability to both effectively and efficiently address housing affordability. The City
acknowledges that Infill Land is an asset not be overlooked. The question is – to what
extent should Infill Lands be reasonably expected to participate?
For purposes of the BLI the City estimates that 20% of the Infill Land inventory is likely to
be developed during the 20-year planning period. The 20% adjustment is acknowledged in
the Housing Element, along with a policy to encourage and monitor infill activity.
The 20% adjustment is based on a survey of infill development within the City between
1996 and 2016 (See Appendix “D”). Tables 5 and 6 adjust for the 20% infill land
participation.
5.2 Redevelopment (Demolition) Land. The City uses the U.S. Census Methodology to
determine the number of dwellings estimated to be demolished during the 20-year
planning period. The methodology, and its application to the City are described in
Appendix “C”. The redevelopment columns Tables 3 through 6 are based on the
methodology in Appendix “C”.

6. Residential Land Need
The primary function of the BLI is to assist in the identification of residential buildable land needs
during a 20-year planning period. Table 7 identifies the estimated need for buildable residential as
of 12/31/2018. Table 7 is based on input from the Population Element, the Housing Element, and
the BLI. As noted earlier the BLI is a living document that changes as changes in residential
development activity and policy occur.

APPENDIX “A” – Definitions
The 2019 BLI was last updated December 30, 2018. The following definitions are used in preparing and
maintain the residential BLI.
Definitions
Buildable Land, Residential: Residentially designated lots or parcels within the City’s urban area,
including vacant and developed lots or parcels likely to be redeveloped that are suitable, available
and necessary for residential uses (OAR 660-008-0005(2)). Land is generally considered “suitable
and available” unless it:
1. Is severely constrained by natural hazards as determined under Statewide Planning Goal 7;
2. Is subject to natural resource protection measures determined under Statewide Planning
Goals 5, 6, 15, 16, 17 or 18;
3. Has slopes of 25 percent or greater;
4. Is within the 100-year flood plain; or
5. Cannot be provided with public facilities.
Developed Land, Residential: Residentially designated lots or parcels of less than one-half acre
that are currently occupied by a residence. (OAR 660-024-0050(2)(b).
Infill Acres, Residential: Developed Residential Land of one-half acre or more, less one-quarter
acre (10,890 square feet). OAR 660-024-0050(2)(a).
Land to Improvement Ratio (L:I Ratio): The ratio between the real market value of land and the
real market value of improvements as measured by taking the real improvement value of a parcel
divided by the real land value based on the Jackson County Assessor records.
Net Buildable Acre, Residential: Consists of 43,560 square feet of residentially designated
buildable land, after excluding present and future rights-of-way for streets and roads (OAR 660-
024-0010(6)).
Planning Area: The area within an existing, or proposed, urban growth boundary. Cities and
counties with urban growth management agreements must address the urban land governed by their
respective plans as specified in the urban growth management agreement for the affected area (OAR
660-009-0005(7)).
Redevelopment Acres, Residential: Land zoned for residential use on which development has
already occurred but on which, due to present or expected market forces, there exists the strong
likelihood that existing development will be converted to more intensive residential uses during the
planning period (OAR 660-008-0005(7)).
Note: The BLI uses a methodology developed by the U.S. Census to determine the rate of residential redevelopment based
on the age of structures. The specific methodology is presented in Appendix C, Methodology for State and County Total
Housing Unit Estimates (Vintage 2017).
Urban Area: Land within a UGB (OAR 660-24-10)

Vacant Acres, Residential: All residentially designated lots or parcels not currently containing
permanent buildings or improvements. For purposes of determination of the presence of permanent
buildings/improvements all residential lots or parcels with an improvement value of zero (0), as
determined by the Jackson County Assessor, are considered vacant.

APPENDIX “B” - Methodology for Calculation of Residential Buildable Land
The methodology used to inventory and calculate buildable lands is based on the definitions defined in
Appendix A. The base data source for identification of buildable lands is the Jackson County Assessor’s
Records dated April 2018, which has been modified to include such additional information as
Comprehensive Plan designations, zoning, development status, etc. The modified database is referred to as
the Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI2019.xls).
Step 1. Urban Area, Gross Acres – Using the City’s GIS the total geographic limits of the City’s
urban area are mapped and the gross acres within the limits of the shape file calculated by area
within the City Limits and UGB.
Step 2. Net Urban Area by Land Use and Zoning – Using BLI2018 sum by land use and zoning
all tax lots within the City’s urban area (City Limits and UGB). Tax lots identified for street, road,
or access right-of-way (public or private) purposes are not included.
Step 3. Right-of-Way – Deduct the totals (City Limits and UGB) in Step 2 total from Step 1 total,
the balance representing acreage used for right-of-way for the City Limits and UGB.
The results of Steps 1 – 3 are presented in Tables 1 and 2 of the 2019 Residential BLI.
Step 4. Buildable Acres, Residential. The methodology for calculating Buildable Residential Land
involves the following steps:
Step 4a. Residential Vacant Acres. The BLI identifies all tax lots by their land use
designation, development status, and improvement value. When the improvement value of
a property is zero the property is defined as Residential Vacant Land. The BLI sums the
acreage for all Residential Vacant Land by land use and zoning for the City Limits and the
UGB.
Step 4b. Residential Infill Acres. The BLI identifies all residential tax lots for their infill
potential. Residential properties in excess of .5 acres and with an improvement value in
excess of zero are defined as Residential Developed Land. By deducting 10,890 sq. ft. from
each Residential Developed Land record the balance is defined as Residential Infill Land.
The BLI then sums the Residential Infill Land for all residentially designated properties, by
land use and zoning for the City Limits and the UGB.
Step 4c. Residential Redevelopment Acres. The BLI identifies all residential tax lots by
the year the primary residence was built. Using the U.S. Census housing loss methodology
presented in Appendix C. The BLI then sums the Residential Redevelopment Land for all
residentially designated properties, by land use and zoning for the City Limits and the UGB.
Step 4d. Gross Vacant Residential Acres. Using the sum of the totals generated from
Steps 4a through 4c the BLI calculates the Gross Buildable Residential land by land use and
zoning for the City Limits and the UGB.

REVIEW DRAFT – 2019 Residential BLI Page 13 of 23
Step 4e. Environmentally Constrained Acres. The BLI includes information on the
acreage within each vacant and infill lot or parcel that is considered environmentally
constrained. The BLI sums the environmentally constrained land for all residentially
designated properties, by land use and zoning, developed, vacant, and infill/redevelopment.
Step 4f. Total Buildable Residential Acres. The BLI takes the results from Step 4d, less
the results from Step 4e, to yield Buildable Residential Land by land use and zoning.
Step 5. Infill Lands Adjustment. The Infill Lands inventory is adjusted per the Infill Study in
Appendix D. An adjustment of 20% is used to determine the amount of Infill Land that will be
available during the 20-year planning period (Tables 5 and 6). The 20% adjustment accounts for
“likelihood and availability” of Infill Lands (See Appendix D for Infill Methodology).
Note: Per the Regional Plan Element’s measurement of residential development density as gross density it is important to note
that for residential purposes the Buildable Residential Land number is used as a net figure, it does not include lands for public
right-of-way, parks/open space, schools, or other public uses. For Employment lands public right-of-way is excluded.

APPENDIX “C” – Methodology for Identifying Residential Redevelopment (Demolition)
Land
The City does not maintain records for demolitions necessitating the use of another methodology for
determining the number and rate of residential demolitions within the City’s urban area. The methodology
used was found on the U.S Census web site and is referred to as Methodology for State and County Total
Housing Unit Estimates (Vintage 2017): April 1, 2010 to July 1, 20171 (Methodology). The Methodology
was applied to the City of Central Point as follows:
Step 1. Demolition Rate by Region, Type of Housing Unit, and Age. The Methodology provided a loss
rate based on the region, type of housing unit, and age of housing unit (Table 1).
Step 2. Determine Distribution of Housing by Age and Type. The BLI maintains an inventory of housing
by type, year built, and land use designation and zoning. Tables 2A through 2D identifies the housing
construction in Central Point by type and year built segregated into age categories as presented in Table 1.

Methodology for State and County Total Hous ing Unit Estimates (Vintage 2017): April 1, 2010 to
July 1, 2017
OVERVIEW
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the number of housing units for each year since the most recent
decennial census. With each annual release of housing unit estimates, the entire time series of estimates
beginning w ith April 1, 2010 is revised and updated. The estimates use building permits, estimates of non-
permitted construction, mobile home shipments, and estimates of housing loss to estimate change in the
housing stock. These component data come from various Census Bureau surveys.
We produce housing unit estimates for all states and counties annually. We release these estimates to the
public, and they are used as controls for several Census Bureau surveys, including the American
Community Survey (ACS), the American Housing Survey (AHS), and the Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS).
In addition to state and county housing unit estimates, w e also produce subcounty housing unit estimates.
These estimates are central to the production of population estimates for cities and tow ns across the nation.
METHOD
We produce housing unit estimates using the components of housing change. In this model, w e add
together the 2010 Census count of housing units, estimated new residential construction, and estimated
new mobile homes. From this sum w e subtract the estimated housing units lost. The computation of
annual July 1 housing unit estimates is expressed by the follow ing formula:

Re s i de ntial
C on s truction
Ne w Mobi l e
Hom e s
Hou s i ng
Un i ts Los t
Ju l y 1
Hou s i ng Unit
Es ti m ate
After these data are combined to produce a preliminary set of housing estimates, they are review ed by
members of the Federal-State Cooperative for Population Estimates (FSCPE) and by local jurisdictions.
The final housing estimates may reflect updates from their review of the estimates . Each component of
the housing unit change model is described below .
2010 Census Housing Units
Every year, w e re-tabulate the 2010 Census counts of housing units in current legal geographic
boundaries to form the base for the annual housing unit estimates. The base for the housing estimates
reflects annual geographic boundary updates from the Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) that are
legally effective as of January 1. The base also includes the results of completed Count Question
Resolution (CQR) actions and geographic program revisions incorporated into the Master Address File
(MAF)/TIGER Database through May of each estimate’s year.

New Residential Construction
Residential construction is the largest component of housing change. We estimate new residential
construction in tw o parts: permitted construction and non-permitted construction. The calculation of new
residential construction is represented by the follow ing formula:

Permitted Construction
According to the Census Bureau, more than 98 percent of all new housing units are erected in places that
issue building permits. We calculate estimates of new permitted construction by multiplying the number of
residential building permits issued by a permit completion rate. Data on issued permits come from the
Building Permits Survey (BPS). 1 This survey includes reported permits from approximately 20,000
jurisdictions. These data are reported to the BPS by calendar year for cities and tow ns across the country.
Implicit in the method of using calendar year permits is an assumption of a six-month lag time betw een
w hen a building permit is issued and w hen the housing unit is completed. Thus, permits that are issued in
the first six months of a particular calendar year are not processed in the housing unit estimates until the
follow ing year. For example, the July 1, 2014 housing unit estimates are based on permits issued betw een
January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013. Permits issued between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014 w
ill be processed in the 2015 housing unit estimates.
The permit completion rates used to calculate new permitted construction are based on national estimates
of permits that are either abandoned or deemed “out of scope” by the Survey of Construction (SOC). 2¸3
We update the completion rate every year, as new survey data become available. The 2014 permit
completion rate reflects the percent of building permits issued in calendar year 2013 that resulted in
completed housing units.
The Cens us Bureau conducts the BPS. For more information about this s urvey, s ee
http://www.census.gov/construction/bps/. 2 Abandoned permits are permits that the s urvey res pondent or building permit office has indicated that construction
of the housing unit(s) authorized by that permit will not be completed using that permit. Out of s cope permits are thos e that were reported as
permits for new, privately -owned housing units by the building permit office, but it was later determined that the units did not meet the definition of new privately -owned housing units (e.g., the units were intended as group quarters, for commercial us e, etc.). 3 The Cens us Bureau conducts the SOC. For more information about this s urvey, s ee http://www.census.gov/econ/overview/co0400.html.

Non-permitted Construction
We calculate estimates of new non-permitted construction using data on new residential housing units
constructed in places that do not issue building permits . These data also come from the SOC. The estimates
of non-permitted construction are regional-level data that w e distribute to all places that do not receive
building permits, based on each place’s share of the region’s total housing units enumerated in the
2010 Census. For example, if a place contained 5 percent of the region’s housing units as of the 2010
Census, and does not issue building permits, w e distribute 5 percent of the region’s non-permitted units in
the SOC to that place. There is no lag time applied to the estimates of non-permitted construction. The
sampling frame for the SOC does not include any non-permitting areas in the West; therefore, w e do not
distribute non-permitted housing units to places in that region.
New Mobile Homes
The data w e use to create estimates of new mobile homes come from the Manufactured Homes Survey
(MHS).4 We calculate annual mobile home estimates by compiling monthly state shipment data from July
of the previous year through June of the current year. For example, the July 1, 2014 mobile home estimates
are based on mobile home shipment data from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. We distribute the state-
level mobile home estimates to each place w ithin the state based on each place’s share of the state’s total
mobile homes . To do so, w e use information from the Census 2000 long form on “type of structure” for
housing units.
Housing Unit Loss
We calculate housing unit loss by applying an annual loss rate to the housing stock. The vintage 2017
estimates of housing units lost are based on regional-level data from the 2009 and 2011 American
Housing Survey (AHS).5 A unit is counted as lost if a survey w as completed in 2009, but it w as listed as a
non-response (Type C, 30 – Demolished) in the 2011 survey.
The housing loss rates vary by type and age of structure, w hich are obtained from the 2010 American
Community Survey (ACS) single-year file. Housing units fall under one of three types: houses (including
apartments and flats), mobile homes, or other types of housing units. The vintage 2017 housing loss rates
are as follow s:

The rates of loss for units less than 10 years old is too small for us to estimate w ith confidence w ith the
data w e have available, therefore, w e assume that the rate is zero. We also assume that the “Other
Housing Units” are constantly churning and, since we have no grow th component for this category, a loss
rate of zero seems appropriate.
Numeric estimates of loss are then calculated by applying the above rates to the base file as it is aged to
the current vintage year. The base file is given type and age of structure characteristics by applying
distributions calculated from the 2010 ACS single-year file. After aging the base from April 1, 2010 to
July 1, 2010, the process iterates annually and units increase in age by 1 year at each iteration.
July 1, 2010 Housing Unit Estimates
We use one quarter of the 2010 permitted and non-permitted construction, mobile homes, and housing
loss to produce the July 1, 2010 estimates. This represents the change in housing stock during the three
month period from April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2010.
REVIEW OF PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES
The preliminary housing unit estimates are distributed for review to members of the FSCPE. Some
FSCPE members provide revisions to the estimates, in the form of alternative housing component data,
based on information they compile from the jurisdictions within their respective states. Alternative
housing component data include local building permits, mobile home placements, demolitions, and
housing completions derived from non-permitted construction, certificates of occupancy and housing
6 “Other Hous ing Units” include boats, recreational vehicles, and oth er types of housing arrangements.

ESTIMATES CHALLENGE AND SPECIAL CENSUS REVISIONS
Localities that challenge the Census Bureau’s subcounty population estimates have the option of revising
the housing component data specific to their area. 7 These revisions are included in the final housing unit
estimates. The final estimates may also include other changes due to revisions that occur outside
the component estimation framework and are the result of special censuses8 for full jurisdictions.
Special census revisions are reflected in the July 1, 2010 to July 1 of the year follow ing the special census.

APPENDIX “D” – Infill Survey, City of Central Point, 2019-2039
The Infill Land classification in Table 3 and Table 4 represents an extraordinarily large percentage (67%)
of the City’s buildable residential lands inventory. As a vacant land classification the reasonableness of
counting all Infill lands as being available for development during the 20-year planning period is
questionable. Infill Lands are small in size and comprised of many individual property owners, each with
a varying range of market knowledge and risk tolerance. To assume that all Infill Lands are available
places a significant burden on the City’s ability to both effectively and efficiently address housing
affordability. The City acknowledges that Infill Lands are an asset not be overlooked. The question is the
extent of participation as a component of the buildable lands determination?
To gather some insights into the role of Infill lands as a part of the City’s residential buildable lands
inventory the City surveyed residential infill development activity between 1996 and 2016, a 20-year
period. The findings of the survey are presented in Table 1. It was found that during the survey period
infill activity accounted for development of approximately 30 acres, with maximum yield of 270 housing
units. During the same period the City experienced development of 3,619 dwelling units. Assuming that
all infill units surveyed were developed during the survey period this would have accounted for
approximately 8% (Participation Rate, Housing) of the total housing built and 6% (Participation Rate,
Land) of the buildable residential consumed acres in the City from 1996 to 2016.
For Infill Land purposes it is recommended that the 6% Participation Rate be upwardly adjusted to 20%.
The 20% Participation Rate serves as a goal for future infill development. Throughout the 20-year
planning period the Participation Rate should be tracked and policies adopted to encourage infill
development at the 20% rate, or greater.
The survey results are not absolutes, but instead provide a reference from which to view and evaluate the
role of Infill lands in the City’s residential BLI. The Housing Element recognizes the findings of the Infill
Survey and sets a 20% Participation Rate for Land. The Residential BLI has been adjusted to recognize
the 20% participation rate as a reasonable measure of the availability of Infill lands. To be monitored over
the next 20-years. The Housing Element further encourages the development of policies that will improve
the rate of participation.

Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: March 14, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. ___________, Updating and Adopting the Central Point
Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element (2019-2039)
ACTION REQUIRED:
Ordinance 2nd Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Urbanization Element was last acknowledged in 1983 and is in need of updating to
account for over 30 years of incremental changes that have occurred. The Urbanization
Element is modeled after Statewide Planning Goal 14, which emphasizes the need for all
communities to:
“Provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to
accommodate urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries,
to ensure efficient use of land, and to provide for livable communities.”
As stated in the element itself, urbanization is not responsible for the building of functional,
or dysfunctional cities, beautiful, or blighted cities, it is merely the process that fuels the
building of cities. The quality of the built city is a function of a community’s ability to
define and diligently pursue a preferred future.
Central Point’s preferred future is currently guided by two documents; the Fair City Vision 2020
and The Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan. The City has also adopted revisions to its
Population Element, Housing Element and Land Use Element which provide additional direction
for projected urban residential and employment growth.
Central Point Forward, Fair City Vision 2020 highlights the City’s unique identity, livability
objectives and the mission, vision and values upon which the Urbanization program is based.
The document has helped elected officials and City staff to focus and to attract the type of
innovative, responsible and community-minded residents and businesses that contribute to a
healthy Central Point future. Important concepts of the vision plan are emphasized in the
Urbanization Element.
The Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan is a fifty-year planning document that was
created in collaboration with Jackson County and five other cities to address long-term
urbanization needs of the region. The most significant product(s) of the Regional Plan is the
establishment of requirements which affect the form and function of future urban-level
8.B
Packet Pg. 74
development and the creation of Urban Reserve Areas (URAs). Regional Plan requirements are
emphasized in the Urbanization Element and the URAs are targeted when considering the
locational criteria.
The Urbanization Element’s primary responsibility is to establish criteria (goals and policies) that
manage the physical direction of the City’s planned growth. Therefore it must rely on other
Comprehensive Plan Elements. These elements include the Population Element, the Housing
Element, the Economic Element, the Parks and Recreation Element, the Land Use Element, the
Transportation Element and the Public Facilities Element. A brief explanation of the content and
resources each of these elements provide are discussed in the Urbanization Element.
Aside from a demonstration that there is a need to accommodate the City’s long-range
population growth and related land needs there is a requirement that the boundaries within
which the City’s urban lands are located be given some forethought. The location of the City’s
urban growth boundary (UGB) and changes to the UGB are determined by evaluating
alternative boundary locations consistent with ORS 197.020, and with consideration of the
following locational criteria:
1. Properties that abut either the City Limits, or the current UGB.
2. Properties that are in excess of 10 acres.
3. Properties that abut or are within 500 ft. of basic urban services; i.e. water, sewer, storm
water, transportation.
4. Properties that are proximate to, or include, mixed use/pedestrian friendly areas.
5. Compatibility with nearby agricultural uses outside the proposed UGB.
6. Proximity to transportation infrastructure.
7. Lands that have been master planned.
8. Readiness for development
9. Proximity to the City Center, using a Central Growth Pattern
Attached is the final draft of the Urbanization Element (Attachment A) for the City Council’s
consideration, input and ultimate approval. The document and locational criteria were discussed
with both the CAC and the Planning Commission who both endorsed the Element. The last
three locational criteria have been introduced to the Urbanization Element with the intent of
minimizing land speculation that often occurs during UGB Amendments.
ISSUES:
The primary issues in considering the Urbanization Element are ensuring there is agreement
between state and local purposes and that the City’s choice of locational criteria is reasonable
and justifiable.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Urbanization Element update does not generate additional cost to the City beyond the in-
kind staff expenses, postage and legal notification costs included in the budget for Community
Development. The fiscal impact of extending public infrastructure and services will be evaluated
at such time the City proposes amendments to its UGB.
LEGAL ANALYSIS
The Urbanization Element Comprehensive Plan text amendments are considered “Major
Amendments” per CPMC 17.96.300 and are subject to Type IV Legislative application
procedures per CPMC 17.05.500. Conducting a second public hearing by the City Council is
necessary and consistent with the requisite procedures to adopt changes to the element. Aside
from procedural compliance, the primary changes to be discussed include those identified by
ORS 197.020 evaluating alternative boundary locations for UGB Amendment.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS
8.B
Packet Pg. 75
The City Council goal to provide managed growth and infrastructure is predicated on the ability
of the City to forecast growth and the corresponding land and service needs over the long term.
The 2019-2039 Urbanization Element aligns with Council’s goal by, “Continually ensuring that
planning and zoning review and regulations are consistent with comprehensive plans and
vision.”
ACTION
Consider the second reading of the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan,
Urbanization Element (2019-2039), and 1) approve the ordinance; 2) approve the ordinance
with revisions; 3) deny the ordinance.

INTRODUCTION
Urbanization is defined as the movement of people from rural to urban environments, and from urban
environments to other urban environments. This movement can be motivated by any number of reasons;
such as jobs, housing, health care, retirement, and education. The product of urbanization is realized in
the incremental increase in the demand for urban services such as housing, and supporting physical and
social infrastructure, and the land necessary to support the urbanization process. Urbanization has its
most negative impact when the demand for support infrastructure exceeds supply, resulting in a reduction
in livability as evidenced by overcrowded schools, poor health care, traffic congestion, urban blight,
inadequate utility services, environmental pollution, housing affordability, etc. Urbanization is not
responsible for the building of functional, or dysfunctional cities, beautiful, or blighted cities, it is merely
the process that fuels the building of cities. The quality of the built city is a function of a community’s
ability to define and diligently pursue a preferred future.
Over the course of the next twenty years Central Point’s population will continue to increase, fueling the
urbanization process and resulting in millions of dollars in public and private investment for housing,
businesses, and infrastructure. The outcome of that investment will be defined by the City’s preferred
future, and the urbanization strategies, policies and implementing ordinances adopted to attain that
preferred future.
PURPOSE OF THE URBANIZATION ELEMENT
The significance of urbanization on the economic, environmental, and general welfare of communities
throughout the state is acknowledged in Statewide Planning Goal 14, Urbanization; which establishes as a
statewide goal the need for all communities to:
“Provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to accommodate
urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure efficient use
of land, and to provide for livable communities.”
The purpose of the City’s Urbanization Element is modeled after the Statewide Planning Goal 14 purpose,
but with an emphasis on attaining the City’s preferred future as described in the Comprehensive Plan. The
purpose of the City’s Urbanization Element is to:
“Provide for the orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use in accordance with
the goals and policies of the City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan as necessary to
accommodate projected urban population and urban employment inside urban growth
boundaries, to ensure efficient use of land, as necessary to provide for the City’s preferred
future.”
A Preferred Future
There are two documents; the Fair City Vision 2020 and The Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan
that together define the City’s preferred future, and as such serve as the cornerstone of the Urbanization
Element. Because of the significance of their role in defining the City’s urbanization these two
documents are briefly discussed in the Urbanization Element.
Central Point Forward, Fair City Vision 2020 (Vision 2020) – Vision 2020
addresses the City’s unique identity and livability objectives, and the mission, vision, and values
8.B.c
Packet Pg. 81 Attachment: Urbanization Element 2019 (1113 : Ordinance to Consider Urbanization Element Update)
Page 4 of 13
on which the City’s urbanization program is based. By keeping the focus on livability, the City
will not only be able to maintain its policy focus but also be able to attract the type of innovative,
responsible and community-minded residents and businesses that will contribute to the pursuit of
a successful future for the City of Central Point.
Maintaining an acceptable level of livability consistently rises to the top as one of the primary
challenges confronting all communities as they grow. For Central Point livability is a point of
pride and the primary reason people are attracted to the City as a place to live, work, and play. In
1998 the City adopted its first strategic plan to guide its general growth and decision making
process. This plan served the community well and was updated in 2007 as Central Point
Forward, Fair City Vision 2020 (Vision Plan). The significance of the Vision Plan is that it
defines basic livability objectives to be applied by elected officials in their deliberation on issues
related to the City’s urbanization.
Participants in the Vision Plan attribute Central Point's livability to a matrix of factors. The
citizens of Central Point realize that their preferred level of livability does not come about by
chance, but rather is intentionally created through collaborative community efforts, innovative
planning, public policy, and effective and efficient implementation strategies.
The Vision Plan’s livability objectives are presented in three core elements; Mission, Vision, and
Values. These core elements are carried forward and incorporated in the Urbanization Element’s
goals and policies.
Our Mission. “It is the mission of the City of Central Point to build and maintain a
highly livable community by working in harmony and being a catalyst for partnership
with all members of the community, public and private.”
Our Vision. To create a community:
With a “small town” commitment and feel that promotes community pride,
safety, and friendliness.
8.B.c
Packet Pg. 82 Attachment: Urbanization Element 2019 (1113 : Ordinance to Consider Urbanization Element Update)

That provides consistent quality in guiding growth, beautifying and strengthening
the downtown area, and providing adequately for City services, while being
flexible and updating citizens.
Where we work jointly with our community schools, libraries, and public/private
institutions to increase opportunities for the development of our youth and our
citizens.
Where city, county, state, and federal agencies work together as partners with a
“can do” attitude.
That protects our unique identity – People know when they are in the “Heart of
the Rogue Valley” – Central Point.
Our Values. In achieving the City’s mission and vision it is important to set forth a
system of values on which to base our behavior in addressing the urbanization
challenges. These values are:
Growth: We value planned growth that will retain our small town atmosphere.
Public Safety: We value a professional service oriented public safety policy that
promotes a sense of safety and security in our city.
Transportation: We value a system of transportation and infrastructure that is
modern, efficient, and sensitive to the environment.
Community: We value a clean and attractive city with parks, open space and
recreational opportunities.
Service: We provide the highest level of service possible in the most efficient and
responsible manner.
The Greater Bear Creek Valley
Regional Plan (Regional Plan) –
establishes the basic planning timeframe and
urbanization needs, goals, and policies for the
region and its participating cities, including the City
of Central Point. The Regional Plan is the product
of a regional land-use planning project involving
Ashland, Central Point, Eagle Point, Medford,
Phoenix, Talent, and Jackson County (Participants).
The purpose of the Regional Plan was to define a
preferred future of the Participants to accommodate
projected population and job growth to the year
2060, an approximate 50 year planning period. The
most significant products of the Regional Plan are
the establishment of minimum residential density
requirements and, through the establishment of
urban reserve areas (URAs), the efficient use of
land by each of the Participants. The purpose of the
8.B.c
Packet Pg. 83 Attachment: Urbanization Element 2019 (1113 : Ordinance to Consider Urbanization Element Update)
Page 6 of 13
URA is to reserve land for future urban-level development. The method of establishing an urban
reserve is defined in state law (see ORS 195.137–145).
The State legislature’s findings in the bill creating the urban reserve statute are succinct in stating
their value:
“The Legislative Assembly finds that…long-range planning for population and
employment growth by local governments can offer greater certainty
for…commerce, other industries, other private landowners and providers of
public services, by determining the more [likely] and less likely locations of
future expansion of urban growth boundaries and urban development.”1
The Regional Plan provides Central Point with an additional 1,720 gross acres in the 8 urban
reserve areas. The goal of the plan is to protect the valley’s farmland while allowing
urbanization to progress in areas planned to accommodate growth. This plan also provides
participants with a roadmap for the future to ensure that as urbanization occurs, the necessary
infrastructure is able to be put in place to support projected growth.
LIVABILITY PRINCIPLES
Although the primary objective of the state’s Urbanization Goal is the efficient use of land, it is important
that we do not lose sight of maintaining a livable community. The ultimate goal of the Comprehensive
Plan is to provide a roadmap for the City of Central Point to maintain and enhance the livability of the
City as it continues to grow. The SPOT chart (below) identifies the Strengths, Problems, Opportunities
and Threats facing Central Point as it moves forward. The livability principles identified in this section
can be incorporated into each comprehensive plan element to encourage the development of a livable
community. A description of each element and how they relate to the Urbanization Element and livability
is described below.
The six livability principles and the City’s aligned Vision are:
1 ORS 197.139
8.B.c
Packet Pg. 84 Attachment: Urbanization Element 2019 (1113 : Ordinance to Consider Urbanization Element Update)
Page 7 of 13
1. Promote transportation choices
Continue to support the development of safe, reliable and economical transportation choices that
improve the City’s multi-modal transportation mix to decrease household transportation costs,
improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote public health.
2. Promote equitable, affordable housing
Expand housing choices for people of all ages, incomes, races and ethnicities to increase housing
mobility and lower the cost of housing and transportation.
3. Enhance economic competitiveness
Improve economic competitiveness through reliable and timely access to employment centers,
educational opportunities, services, and other basic needs by workers, as well as expanded business
access to markets.
4. Support existing neighborhoods
Continue targeting funds toward existing neighborhoods – through strategies like transit-oriented,
mixed-use development, and redevelopment, to increase community revitalization and the
efficiency of public works investments.
5. Coordinate and leverage investment policies
Align the City’s capital improvement programs to collaborate, leverage funding, and increase the
accountability and effectiveness of all levels of government to plan for the City’s future growth.
6. Value our neighborhoods
Enhance the unique “small town” characteristics of the City by investing in healthy, safe, and
walkable neighborhoods.
PLANNING TIME FRAME, 2019 – 2039
The urbanization needs of the City are based on two timeframes; a twenty (20) year time frame
addressing the City’s urban land needs, and an extended timeframe (an additional 30 years) addressing the
planning period identified in the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan, which is based on a doubling
of the region’s population by approximately 2060. For purposes of this Urbanization Element the
planning period 2019 to 2039 will be used, with the Regional Plan’s timeframe serving as a longer term
review.
URBANIZATION FACTORS
The Urbanization Element’s primary responsibility is to establish criteria (goals and policies) that manage
the physical direction of the City’s planned growth. To do this it must rely on the other elements of the
Comprehensive Plan. The following is a brief description of other elements of the Comprehensive Plan
and their key contributions to the Urbanization Element.
Population Element
The basic input to the urbanization process is population growth. In accordance with ORS
195.033 Portland State University’s Population Research Center (PRC) is responsible for
preparing population projections for all counties and cities in the state, and updating their
projections on a four year cycle.
8.B.c
Packet Pg. 85 Attachment: Urbanization Element 2019 (1113 : Ordinance to Consider Urbanization Element Update)
Page 8 of 13
The Population Element maintains the City’s population and demographic forecasts, and is the
resource document for the Urbanization Element in all references to the City’s population and
demographic characteristics.
Key Contribution: Population forecasts.
Housing Element
Housing is a key component of any city’s urbanization and is directly related to Livability
Principle No. 2 above. The Housing Element supports the Urbanization Element by analyzing
trends that affect the City’s housing needs during the planning period. The City’s Housing
Element provides an assessment of current and future housing needs to ensure that there are a
variety of housing options for Central Point including varying densities and affordability. The
Housing Element aims to ensure that future, residential design standards, infrastructure and
development help to preserve the small town feel of Central Point, protect agricultural land and
provide housing to all citizens at all income levels.
The Housing Element maintains the City’s housing goals and policies, and is the resource
document for the Urbanization Element in all references to the City’s housing needs.
Key Contribution: Residential acreage needs.
Economic Element
The City’s livability is dependent on a dynamic, diversified, and growing economic base that
complements and reinforces the small town character goal (Livability Principle No. 3) . Central
Point will be regionally competitive with policies that attract and retain businesses and
employment for its citizens, provide essential services and maintain a strong tax base. Economic
competitiveness and prosperity will be the means of supporting a quality of life that is distinctive
among Valley communities. The economic element will support and facilitate the City’s
Urbanization Element through the development and implementation of policies and
implementation measures that promote opportunities for a variety of economic activities within
the City’s urban area, improving the health, welfare, and prosperity of its citizens. The Economic
Element provides a written framework for meeting the City’s economic goal to diversify its
economic base.
The Economic Element maintains the City’s goals and policies related to the City’s economic
growth. It is also the resource document for the Urbanization Element in all references to the
City’s economy.
Key Contribution: Employment acreage needs.
Parks and Recreation Element
The long-term parks and recreation needs of the City are described in the Parks and Recreation
Element. The Parks and Recreation Element not only determines the acreage needs of the City,
but also identifies the general location of the City’s future community and neighborhood parks.
Key Contribution: Parks and recreation acreage need and general location.
8.B.c
Packet Pg. 86 Attachment: Urbanization Element 2019 (1113 : Ordinance to Consider Urbanization Element Update)
Page 9 of 13
Land Use Element
The use of land and its percentage distribution are common indicators of how a community grows
and responsibly expands its infrastructure. The Land Use Element addresses the City’s past,
present and future use of land and also introduces the concept of ‘Activity Centers’.
The Land Use Element maintains the City’s land use goals and policies, and is the resource
document for the Urbanization Element in all references to the City’s land use.
Key Contribution: Geographic distribution of urban land.
Public Facilities Element
The Public Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan is directly related to Livability Principle
No. 5 and will address and assure the provision of city services. These services include sewer,
storm drainage, and water. As the city grows, these services will have to be able to meet the
needs of citizens in newly developed areas as well as continue to provide for current residents.
This element provides an assessment of the current public facilities to meet citizens’ needs. Also,
any future extension of services will be guided by this element to ensure that future growth is
supported by an adequate and efficient network of public facilities in order to meet the needs of
all its citizens.
Key Contribution: Existing and planned availability of public facilities.
Transportation Element (Transportation System Plan)
The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan is directly related to Livability Principle
No. 1 and No. 5 by providing quality roads and other modal options to city residents and
businesses. As growth occurs, the City will have to ensure that all residents have access to
transportation and that the roads and other modes of transportation are able to accommodate the
community’s needs. Future improvements to the transportation system will be guided by this
element to ensure that future growth is supported by an adequate and efficient network of roads in
order to meet the needs of all its residents.
Key Contribution: Existing and planned availability of the City’s transportation system.
Environmental Element
The purpose of the Environmental Element is to identify the goals and policies addressing both
the City’s environmental assets and potential disasters, and to integrate those policies with the
Urbanization and Land Use Elements. There is no one specific livability goal for environmental
protection; instead, environmental protection is woven throughout all of the livability goals. This
element will support the Urbanization element by providing goals and policies that encourage
sustainability and protection of natural resources that occurs simultaneously with growth in
Central Point.
URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY LOCATION CRITERIA
Aside from a demonstration that there is a need to accommodate the City’s long-range
population growth and related land needs there is a requirement that the boundaries within which
the City’s urban lands are located be placed with forethought. The location of the City’s urban
growth boundary (UGB) and changes to the UGB shall be determined by evaluating alternative boundary
locations consistent with ORS 197.020, and with consideration of the following locational criteria:
8.B.c
Packet Pg. 87 Attachment: Urbanization Element 2019 (1113 : Ordinance to Consider Urbanization Element Update)
Page 10 of 13
1. Properties that abut either the City Limits, or the current UGB.
2. Properties that are in excess of 10 acres.
3. Properties that abut or are within 500 ft. of basic urban services; i.e. water, sewer, stormwater,
transportation.
4. Properties that are proximate to, or include, mixed use/pedestrian friendly areas.
5. Compatibility with nearby agricultural uses outside the proposed UGB.
6. Proximity to transportation infrastructure.
7. Lands that have been master planned.
8. Readiness for development.
9. Proximity to City Center, using a ‘concentric growth pattern’
URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY AMENDMENT PROCEDURES
Periodically it will be necessary to amend the City’s urban growth boundary due to changes in
circumstances. The procedures for the review and amendment of the Urban Growth Boundary are as
follows:
Major Amendment
Major revisions to the Urban Growth Boundary or Urban Growth Boundary Management
Agreement will be considered amendments to both the city and county comprehensive plan, and
as such are subject to a legislative review process. A major revision shall include any UGB
amendment that would necessitate revisions to the intent of the city or County comprehensive
plan goals, policies, or text, that has widespread and significant impact on the immediate area,
such as quantitative changes for substantial changes in population, or significant increases in
resource impacts, qualitative changes in land use itself, such as conversion of residential and
industrial use, or spatial changes that affect large areas, or many different ownerships. Any
change in the policies of the Urbanization Element is considered a major revision.
Major revisions will be considered by the city and county at five-year intervals the date of
adoption of the UGB and urbanization policies. If the city and County governing bodies find that
prevailing circumstances have a significant effect on the public health, safety, or general welfare
of the community, a major revision can be considered in less than five years. A request for a
major revision can be initiated by an individual or group, citizen’s advisory committee, affected
agencies, and governing bodies. Parties should file adequate written documentation with the city
and County governing bodies. Final legislative acts on major revisions requests shall be based on
the following factors:
a. Demonstrated need for the change to accommodate unpredicted population trends, to
satisfy urban housing needs, or to assure adequate employment opportunities;
b. The orderly and economic provision of key urban public facilities and services;
8.B.c
Packet Pg. 88 Attachment: Urbanization Element 2019 (1113 : Ordinance to Consider Urbanization Element Update)
Page 11 of 13
c. The maximum efficiency of land uses within the current urbanizable area;
d. Environmental, energy, economic, and social consequences;
e. The compatibility of the proposed change with other elements of the city and County
comprehensive plans; and
f. The state-wide planning goals.
Major revision proposals shall be subject to a mutual city and County review and agreement
process involving affected agencies, citizen advisory committee, and the general public. If the
city and county cannot agree on a major revision, or until an acceptable revision is mutually
agreed upon and adopted, both jurisdictions will continue to use existing UGB, areas of
regional planning concern boundaries, and urbanization policies.
Minor Urban Growth Boundary Adjustments
Minor adjustments to the UGB may be considered subject to similar procedures used by the
city and county in hearing zoning requests. A minor revision is defined as one focusing on
specific individual properties, and not having significant impact beyond the immediate area
of the change. An application for a minor UGB amendment can be made only by property
owners, their authorized agents, or by a city or County governing body. Written application
for a minor adjustment may be filed with the Jackson County Department of Development
Services on forms prescribed by the County. The standards for processing an application are
as follows:
a. Final action on the minor use of UGB adjustment shall be based in the same six
factors required for major revision requests as listed in the preceding section, major
revisions.
b. Application shall be reviewed by the affected city and County citizens planning
advisory committees annually.
c. Strategic, location of roads, golf courses, or other visible public or semi-public open
spaces;
d. Compliance with the City’s Agricultural Mitigation standards;
e. All UGB amendments shall include adjacent streets and other transportation rights-of-
way;
URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
Development within the UGB, but outside the City Limits shall be subject to the policies of the most
recent Urban Growth Boundary Management Agreement (UGBMA), jointly adopted by both the City
and the County.

ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner
MEETING DATE: March 14, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. ________, An Ordinance to Update and Adopt the
Central Point Comprehensive Plan Population Element (2019-2039)
ACTION REQUIRED:
Ordinance 2nd Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On February 5, 2019 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider an
update to the City’s Comprehensive Plan Population Element and forwarded a recommendation
of approval to the City Council. Following consideration of the Planning Commission’s
recommendation and a public hearing at the February 28, 2019 City Council meeting, the draft
Population Element was forwarded to a second reading. Attached is a draft of the Population
Element. It was last updated in 2016 to account for impacts of the Great Recession and
HB2253/ORS 195.033, which assigns population forecasting responsibility for all Oregon
counties and cities to Portland State University Population Research Center (PRC).
Population Element Overview:
The draft Population Element update reflects the recently updated population forecast for
Central Point’s Urban Area (city limits and Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) published by the
PRC on June 30, 2018. Per ORS 195.033, the City is obligated to utilize the PRC Forecast
when updating its Comprehensive Plan or land use regulations. The proposed update is
consistent with ORS 195.033 and documents forecast growth over 20-year period 2019-2039.
Changes include updated tables and text; however, the goal and policies remain unchanged.
The most significant finding in the updated PRC Forecast and 2019-2039 Population Element
update is the increase in the City’s Average Annual Growth Rate from 1.1% to 1.5.% over the
next 20-years. The result is a forecast population increase of 7,216 people within the City’s
urban area by 2039. As the City grows, this will impact the need for housing and estimated
residential land need as shown in Table 1 below.

The estimated impact of population change impacts to housing and residential land need in
Table 1 are for illustration purposes only. Final assessment of buildable land availability and
residential land needs are subject to approve of the Residential Buildable Lands Inventory
(CPA-18003) and the 2019-2039 Housing Element (CPA-18005)
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
The forecast population change does not generate additional cost to the City beyond the in-kind
staff expenses, postage and legal notification costs included within the budgeted funds for
Community Development. The fiscal impact of extending public infrastructure and services will
be evaluated at such time the City proposes amendments to its UGB.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The Population Element Comprehensive Plan text amendments are considered “Major
Amendments” per CPMC 17.96.300 and are subject to Type IV Legislative application
procedures per CPMC 17.05.500. Conducting a second public hearing by the City Council is
necessary and consistent with the requisite procedures to adopt changes to the forecast
population.
Aside from procedural compliance, the primary changes to be discussed include those identified
in the 2018 PRC Forecast as required by ORS 195.033 and the City’s efforts to engage and
inform the public about forecast growth over the next 20-years.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
The City Council goal to provide managed growth and infrastructure is predicated on the ability
of the City to forecast growth and the corresponding land and service needs over the long term.
The 2019-2039 Population Element aligns with Council’s goal by: “Continually ensuring that
planning and zoning review and regulations are consistent with comprehensive plans and
vision.”
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Consider the second reading of the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan,
Population Element (2019-2039) and 1) approve the ordinance, 2) approve the ordinance with
revisions; 3) deny the ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Approve Ordinance No. ____ Updating and Adopting the Central Point Comprehensive

Element 1 - Population and Demographics
Page 2
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Population Element is to track the historic characteristics and growth of the
City’s population, and based on that information develop a 20-year forecast of the population.
Based on the 20-year population forecast the City can plan for land and urban service needs to
accommodate the population growth.
The City’s Population & Demographics Element (Population Element) was updated in 2016. The
2016 update accounted for two events that significantly affected the results of the City’s 2008
Population Element. The first event was the Great Recession; the second was HB 2253
designating the Portland State University Population Research Center (PRC) as the sole and
official provider of population forecasts for cities and counties throughout the state1.Together
these two events necessitate an update of the City’s Population Element.
The Great Recession
Within a year of completion of the Jackson County 2007 Population Element (Feb.
2007)2, which was the basis for the City’s 2008 Population Element, the national
economy was hit hard by the Great Recession (December 2007 to June 2009). The
economic impacts of the Great Recession were severe and the recovery period extremely
sluggish and tenuous. Because job losses were deep across all sectors of the economy and
the recovery in job creation slow, the reliance on net migration as a key component to
population growth had a significant impact on the City’s 2008 population forecasts.
HB 2253
Prior to 2013 Oregon law required that counties prepare coordinated population forecasts
according to "generally accepted" demographic methods. The result was population
projections throughout the state that were based on highly diverse methods of forecasting
that varied from county to county, both in terms of frequency of completion and outcome.
Recognizing that population forecasting is the foundation for long-term planning the
Oregon legislature in 2013 approved House Bill 2253 assigning Portland State Population
Research Center (PRC) the responsibility for preparing coordinated population forecasts
for all counties and cities. The population forecasting requirements of HB 2253 were later
adopted as ORS 195.033.
The population forecasts presented in this Population Element are from the Coordinated
Population Forecast 2018 through 2068 for Jackson County dated June 2018 prepared
by PRC (“PRC Population Forecast”) in accordance with ORS 195.033 and is attached to
this Population Element as Appendix A. Typically, the City’s Population Element is
based on a 20-year planning period. The PRC Population Forecast uses a fifty (50) year
forecasting period3 with a four (4) year update cycle4, allowing for consideration of both
short and long term population change variables, and the re-evaluation of demographic
trends and economic events used in prior forecasts. Consequently, every four years the
City’s Population Element will be updated using the latest PRC Jackson County forecast.

This update represents the first update for the PRC Population Forecast for Jackson
County. The next update is tentatively scheduled to occur in 2022.
PRC’s population forecasts are not considered land use decisions and as such are not
subject to review or appeal other than as provided in ORS195.033. However, the City’s
Population Element, because it contains policies based on assumptions beyond the PRC
Population Forecasts, is considered a land use action and therefore subject to the
procedural requirements of Section 17.96, Comprehensive Plan and Urban Growth
Boundary Amendments, City of Central Point Municipal Code.
With the completion of each 4-year cycle the Population Element will be reviewed for changes
in forecasted population and any needed policy changes. If no policy changes are required then
the Population Element will be re-certified by resolution of the City Council, including
incorporation of the up-dated PRC Population Forecast as an appendix to the Population
Element. If, for any reason, the policies of the Population Element need to be modified, then the
Population Element shall be updated by ordinance in accordance with ORS 195.033.
2. SUMMARY
When factors such as the economy, fertility, social trends, etc. are factored into the latest
population forecast for the planning period 2019-2039 the result was a 12% reduction in the
City’s initial 2008 population forecast figures5 (29,006 vs 25,933). When measured in terms of
the population’s average annual growth rate (AAGR) the forecasted AAGR for the planning
period dropped from 4.3% to 1.4%. Based on the forecasted growth rate it is projected that
between 2019 and 2039 the City of Central Point is expected to realize a net increase in
population of 7,216. Based on a projected average household size of 2.5 persons6 the population
increase will result in the formation of 2,886 new households by 2039.
The City’s population is aging and is expected to continue to do so over the course of the
planning period. Net in-migration will be the primary source of population growth (97%), while
natural increases will continue to decline (3%). The City’s population will also become racially
and ethnically more diverse, a trend which is expected to continue throughout the planning
period.
3. POPULATION HISTORY & CHARACTERISTICS
The Town of Central Point was founded on February 26, 1889 and by 18907 had a population of
543. With the exception of the decade between 1910 and 1920 the City has steadily grown
(Figure 1), and today is the third largest city in Jackson County.

3.1. Historic Growth Rate
Between 2000 and 2007 the City of Central Point’s average annual growth rate (AAGR)
was 4.5%, three times Jackson County’s AAGR of 1.5% (Figure 2). Since the Great
Recession the City and County have experienced a significant slowdown in population
growth, particularly from net in-migration. For the period 2010-2015 the City’s AAGR
dropped below 1%, while the County’s AAGR dropped to .6%. As Figure 2 illustrates
the decline in AAGR is not an unusual event following recessions, but does bounce back
as the economy improves.

Central Point’s population accounted for 2.4% of the County’s population, and remained
fairly constant until 1970 when the City’s percentage participation jumped from 3.1% to
4.2%. By 2018, the City accounted for 8.7% of the County’s population.
3.3. Race and Ethnicity
Since the 2000 Census the City’s racial diversity has continued to increase, particularly
within the Hispanic Community, which more than doubled in size from 4% in 2000 to
9% in 2014 (Figure 4). During this same period the County’s Hispanic population
increased from 7% to 11% (Figure 5).

3.4. Components of Population Growth.
There are two basic sources of population growth: natural increase (births minus deaths)
and net migration (in-migration minus out-migration).

3.5. Natural Increase
Growth occurring as a result of natural increase typically represents a very small
percentage of a community’s population growth. Since 2000 the City’s net natural
increase rate (Figure 6) went from 7.6 to 8.0 per thousand population, representing 3%
of the City’s total population increase during that period. During the same period the
County’s rate of natural increase dropped from 1.0 to 0.8 (Figure 7).
3.6. Net Migration.
By far the most significant contributor to a community’s population growth is net
migration. Based on the 2010 U.S. Census, the predominant source of growth for
Jackson County was due to net migration, which was responsible for over 80% of the
county’s population growth8.

3.7. Age Characteristics.
Between 2000 and 2014 the City’s median age increased from 34.4 to 37.5 reflecting the
continued aging of the Baby Boom generation. For the County the median age changed
from 39.2 to 42.7 during the same period. Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the changes in the
three major age cohort categories as a percentage of the City’s and County’s total
population.

3.8. Household Types.
A by-product of population growth is household formation. The U.S. Census allocates
the population to one of two household types; family and non-family. By definition a
household consists of all the people occupying a housing unit9, which is the basic unit
for residential land use planning.
Since the early 1900’s (Figure 10) these two household types (family and non-family)
have been gradually changing in response to socio-economic conditions. The following
is a brief overview of these characteristics as they relate to the City. In addition to the
decline in average household size, the distribution of households by type has been
gradually shifting from family to non-family households.
3.8.1. Family Households.
Family households are comprised of two or more people who are related by
marriage, birth, or adoption. Family households are most commonly represented
by married-couples. Family households have, and continue to, dominate
household types. Although the formation of family households continues to
increase, it is doing so at a decreasing rate. In 1990, family households in the
City accounted for 77% of all households. By the 2010 Census, and through
201410, family households represented 71% of total households.
3.8.2. Non-Family Households:
Non-family households are comprised of single persons, or two or more people
who are not related. In 1990, non-family households represented 23% of all
households within the City. By 2010 non-family households represented 29% of
all households. As the City’s population grows older, the number of non-family
households is expected to increase as the elderly lose spouses and the young
postpone marriage, or get divorced.

3.8.3. Group Quarters.
To a much lesser extent there is a third, and smaller segment of the population
that is housed in what is referred to as group quarters. Group quarters are defined
as non-institutional living arrangements for groups not living in conventional
housing units or groups living in housing units containing ten or more unrelated
people or nine or more people unrelated to the person in charge. Examples of
people in group quarters include a person residing in a rooming house, staff
quarters at a hospital, college dormitories, or in a halfway house.
The City’s Group Housing population has historically accounted for a very small
percentage of the population. Based on the 2000 Census City’s Group Housing
population accounted for 0.8% (106) of the City’s total population and by 2010
had dropped to 0.4% (70) of the total population.
3.9. Average Household Size;
Historically, the City’s average household size has been gradually declining from
3.42 average persons per households in 1960 to 2.61 in 2010 (Figure 11). At 2.61
the Cities average household size exceeded the County’s average of 2.40, and by
2010 is slightly higher than the U.S. average of 2.58.

3.10. Median Household Income.
Figure 13 compares the median household income for the City of Central Point
and the County from 2000 to 2014. As illustrated in Figure 12 the City’s median
household income over the past 15 years peaked in 2010 and by 2014 declined to
$46,765.
In Figure 13 the median household income for 2010 and 2014 has been adjusted
to 2000 dollars. The Great Recession’s impact on median household income has
not yet recovered from 2000 median income level, which is consistent with
national and state changes in median household income. Figure 14 compares the
changes in income distributions from 2000, 2010, and 2014.

4. ASSUMPTIONS FOR FUTURE POPULATION CHANGE
The City’s future population projections are from the Coordinated Population Forecast 2018
through 2068 Jackson County (Appendix A). These projections are based on the Cohort-
Component method of population forecasting, which essentially relies on trends in age,
fertility/births, mortality, and net migration.
As the population of Jackson County continues to age the fertility rate will continue to decline.
The decline in the fertility rate will be minimal, dropping from 1.9 in 2015 to 1.8 by 206511.
Historically changes in fertility rates have not had a significant impact on the City’s population
growth. Similarly, the death rate, although increasing is expected to have a minimal impact on
population growth over the next twenty years. When these two components are combined the net
difference does not yield any significant increases in the population. As previously discussed of
all the components of population change migration is the greatest contributor to population
growth throughout the planning period. Migration is also the most volatile component and is
very sensitive to changes in the economy, both positive and negative.
5. POPULATION PROJECTIONS 2019 to 2039
Over the course of the next twenty (20) years the City of Central Point’s population is expected
to increase at an average annual rate of 1.5%, taking the population from 19,101 in 2019 to
26,317 in 2039 (Table 1). During this same period the City’s percentage of the County
population is expected to increase from 8.5% to 9.9%. By 2068 Central Point will be the second
largest City in Jackson County12.

6. PROJECTED POPULATION GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS
The following represents a general overview of the City’s and County’s population
characteristics throughout the 2019-39 planning period. The information is taken from PRC’s
Coordinated Population Forecast 2018 through 2068, Jackson County.
6.1. Age Characteristics.
Based on the projected County age cohorts (Figure 16) the City’s population will continue to
get older with the 65+ cohort claiming a larger percentage of the population. Although the
City has a younger overall population it will experience a similar increase in the 65+ cohort
over the next 20-years. The aging of the population will also have an effect on the demand
for housing services, ranging from reductions in household size to changing demand for
housing types (i.e. senior housing).
6.2. Growth Rate.
The City’s population will continue to grow, but at a decreasing average annual growth rate
of 1.5% vs. the 2.9% experienced between 2000 and 2010. Similarly, the County’s average
annual growth rate is expected to decline to 0.9% vs. 1.1%.
6.3. Percentage Share of County.

Page 14
As illustrated in Table 2 the City’s percentage of the County’s population will continue to
increase from 8.7% in 2016 to 9.9% by 2039.
6.4. Race & Ethnicity.
The race and ethnicity of both Jackson County and the City of Central Point are expected to
continue to diversify. However, over the 20-year planning period the White, non-Hispanic
population will remain the dominant race.
6.5. Source of Growth.
The City’s primary source of growth will come from net migration (90%+), which is heavily
dependent on the economy.
6.6. Household Characteristics.
As illustrated in Figure 11 the average household size has been declining since 1960. For the
City of Central Point, the average household size has dropped from 3.42 in 1960, to 2.61 in
2010. It is expected that during the term of the planning period (2016 - 2036) the average
household size will continue to decrease, but at a decreasing rate. The City of Central Point
Regional Plan Element uses an average household size of 2.5.
6.7. Median Household Income.
Changes in median household income will be a function of the strength of the general
economy and the rate of inflation. Time will tell.
7. Population & Demographic Goals & Policies
Goal - To maintain population and demographic forecasts as the primary data source for
developing and implementing plans and programs for management of the City’s growth.
Policy 1 - Population Forecast: The population data presented in Table 1 is the acknowledged
population forecast for the period 2019 through 2039 and is to be used in maintaining and
updating the City’s Comprehensive Plan. It shall be the responsibility of the City to update the
data presented in Table 1 based on the decennial U.S. Census. During the interim census periods
adjustments to Table 1 will be based on the latest PRC Forecast (4-year cycle).
Policy 2 - Average Household Size. For purposes of calculating household formation, the City
will use an average household size of 2.5 for lands within the urban growth boundary. This
figure will serve as the basis for determining the number of households expected to be formed
throughout the planning period. It shall be the responsibility of the City to periodically monitor
and, if necessary, update the average household size through data provided by the U.S. Census
Bureau.
Policy 3 - Household Distribution. For purposes of calculating household formation, the City
will use 70% as the percentage of households that are family households and 30% as Non-
Family Households. These figures shall be used in maintaining and updating the City’s
Comprehensive Plan. It shall be the responsibility of the City to periodically monitor and, if
necessary, update the percentage of family households through data provided by the U.S. Census
Bureau.
Policy 4 – Racial and Ethnic Diversity. Racial and Ethnic Diversity. The City acknowledges the
changing racial and ethnic diversity of the community and will continue to develop the strategies
and tools necessary to ensure that the benefits of growth meet the needs of all people within the

Community Development
FROM: Justin Gindlesperger, Community Planner II
MEETING DATE: March 14, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. _________, a Minor Zone Map Amendment on 1.76 acres
located at 1909 Scenic Avenue on property identified on the Jackson
County Assessor’s Map as 37S 2W 03AB, Tax Lots 4400, 4500 & 4600.
Applicant: Fire District 3. (File No. ZC-18007)
ACTION REQUIRED:
Ordinance 2nd Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at its regular meeting on
February 5, 2019 to consider a minor zone map amendment request from R-1-8 to
Civic and made a favorable recommendation to the City Council. The Council
conducted a public hearing on February 28, 2019 and forwarded the Ordinance to a
second reading. The subject properties consist of 1.76 acres on Scenic Avenue
immediately north of the existing Scenic Middle School. It is the applicant’s intent to
develop the property as a fire station. In considering the zone change, the Planning
Commission and City Council 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 Civic as part of the Land Use
Element update in 2018. The Civic Comprehensive Plan designation allows for the
proposed Civic zoning designation. Per the updated Land Use Element, the Civic zoning
designation is consistent with the Civic designation and abuts properties to the south 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 property to the south
is zoned Civic and is developed with the Scenic Middle School. The zoning of the properties
to the east were recently amended to R-3 to accommodate future expansion of Scenic
Heights, an affordable housing development owned and operated by the Housing Authority
of Jackson County. The Housing Authority is in the preliminary stages of developing plans
for the high density development, which is tentatively planned for construction in 5-years.
8.D
Packet Pg. 113
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, 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:
Consider the second reading of the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map and 1)
approve the ordinance, 2) approve the ordinance with revisions, or 3) deny the
proposed zone change ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Approve Ordinance No. ____ An Ordinance amending the Central Point Zoning Map from R-1-8 (Residential Single-Family) to Civic zoning on 1.76 acres located at

STAFF SOURCE:
Justin Gindlesperger, Community Planner II
BACKGROUND:
The proposed minor zone map amendment is to change the current zoning of the property from R-1-8
to Civic. The requested change will allow the applicant to prepare for construction of a new fire
station. In considering the zone change, there are three (3) components that must be addressed
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 Civic as part of the Land Use Element update
in 2018. The Civic Comprehensive Plan designation allows for the proposed Civic zoning
designation. Per the updated Land Use Element, the Civic zoning designation is consistent
with the Civic Comprehensive Plan designation and abuts property to the south that is 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 property to the south is
zoned Civic and is developed with the Scenic Middle School. The zoning of the properties to
the east were recently amended to R-3 to accommodate future expansion of Scenic Heights,
an affordable housing development owned and operate by the Housing Authority of Jackson
County. The Housing Authority is in the preliminary stages of developing plans for the high
density development, which is tentatively planned for construction in 5-years.
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 “D”), the
proposed zone change can be accommodated by the transportation network and is consistent
with the TPR.

ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
Ordinance 2nd Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City has applied for its own MS4 Phase II Permit through
the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Rogue Valley Sewer Services (RVSS)
will no longer be holding the city’s permit, and the City will be responsible for covering the Illicit
Discharge Detection and Elimination and Construction site runoff control and Post-construction
runoff management.
The city’s new permit is expected to be issued March 1st, 2019 and the new permit has very
prescriptive requirements about ordinances and regulatory mechanisms and how they need to
be in place by a particular time. As an example, the new permit is very specific about how DEQ
wants the City’s to address any offenders.
The permit reads:
“The permit registrant (the City) must develop, implement and maintain a written escalating
enforcement and response procedure. The procedure must address repeat violations through
progressively stricter response, as needed, to achieve compliance. The escalating enforcement
and response procedure must describe how the permit registrant will use enforcement
techniques to ensure compliance. The enforcement procedures must include timelines for
compliance and, when formulating response procedures, must consider factors such as the
amount of pollutant discharged, the type of pollutant discharge, and whether the discharge was
intentional or accidental. The escalating enforcement procedure must be submitted with the
third Annual Report.”
The requirements presented in the first reading represent all the necessary changes for the City
to manage storm water protection within the City. Furthermore, changes largely focus on how
to deal with illicit discharge into the City’s Storm Drain System and for management of new
construction site activities

Packet Pg. 122
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: Existing City Personnel will be handling all aspects of the program,
and no additional costs are anticipated with the management of the program. Additionally, the
city will be recovering approximately $45,000 per year in revenue that was previously
appropriated to RVSS for contract services.

The Public Works Director, or his/her designee, is appointed to administer and implement this
chapter and the requirements/restrictions thereof. Any powers granted or duties imposed
upon the Public Works Director may be delegated in writing by the Director to persons or
entities acting in the beneficial interest of or in the employ of the agency.
8.05.035. ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY.
The standards set forth herein and promulgated pursuant to this chapter are minimum
standards; therefore this chapter does not intend or imply that compliance by any
person will ensure that there will be no contamination, pollution, or unauthorized
discharge of pollutants.
8.05.040 Abatement.
A. In the event that enforcement should become necessary, the public works director, or his/her designee,
shall make a reasonable effort to contact the property owner or other responsible party and notify him/her of
the infraction. If neither the property owner nor other responsible party can be reached, the public works
director, or his/her designee, shall make all necessary arrangements to correct the infraction(s) at the
property owner’s expense.
B. The property owner shall be given sufficient time, as determined by the public works director, or his/her
designee, to correct any infractions. Should the property owner fail to correct the infraction(s) in the allotted
time he/she will be subject to possible fine, work stoppage, and reimbursement, to the city, of all costs
associated with correcting the infraction.

free of trash, debris, excessive vegetation, and other obstacles that would pollute,
contaminate, or significantly retard the flow of water through the watercourse. In
addition, the owner, lessee or agent shall maintain existing privately-owned structures
within or adjacent to a watercourse, so that such structures will not become a hazard to
the use, function, or physical integrity of the watercourse.

1. Facility operators shall allow the City ready access to all parts of the
premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, examination and copying
of records that must be kept under the conditions of an NPDES permit to
discharge storm water, and the performance of any additional duties as defined
by state and federal law.
2. The City shall have the right to set up on any permitted facility such
devices as are necessary in the opinion of the Public Works Director to
conduct monitoring and/or sampling of the facility's storm water discharge.
3. The City has the right to require the discharger to install monitoring
equipment as necessary. The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment
shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by the
discharger at its own expense. All devices used to measure storm water
flow and quality shall be calibrated to ensure their accuracy.
4. Unreasonable delays in allowing the City access to a permitted facility is a
violation of a storm water discharge permit and of this chapter. A person who
is the operator of a facility with an NPDES permit to discharge storm water
associated with industrial activity commits an offense if the person denies
the City reasonable access to the permitted facility for the purpose of
conducting any activity authorized or required by this chapter.
5. The City may seek issuance of an administrative search warrant from any court
of competent jurisdiction if it has been refused access to any part of the
premises from which stormwater is discharged, and 1) is able to demonstrate
probable cause to believe that there may be a violation of this chapter, or 2) that
there is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and
such sampling program is designed to verify compliance with this chapter or
any order issued hereunder, or 3) to protect the overall public health, safety,
and welfare of the community.
8.05.060. REQUIREMENT TO PREVENT, CONTROL, AND REDUCE STORM WATER
POLLUTANTS BY THE USE OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.
The City will adopt requirements identifying Best Management Practices for any
activity, operation, or facility which may cause or contribute to pollution or
contamination of storm water, the storm drain system, or waters of the United States.
The owner or operator of such activity, operation, or facility shall provide, at their own
expense, reasonable protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or
other wastes into the municipal storm drain system or watercourses through the use of
these structural and non-structural BMPs. Further, any person responsible for a
property or premise that is, or may be, the source of an illicit discharge, may be
required to implement, at said person's expense, additional structural and non-
structural BMPs to prevent the further discharge of pollutants to the MS4. Compliance
with all terms and conditions of a valid NPDES permit authorizing the discharge of storm
water associated with industrial activity, to the extent practicable, shall be deemed
compliance with the provisions of this section. These BMPs shall be part of a storm
water management plan (SWMP) as necessary for compliance with requirements of the
NPDES permit.
8.05.065. LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT
A. Low-impact development (LID) is a term used to describe a land planning and

facility shall have the operation and maintenance manual on site and available at
all times. Records of the maintenance and repairs shall be retained and available
for the last 5 years and available for inspection by the City.
D. Violation of this section shall be subject to the provisions of 8.05.070.
8.05.070 VIOLATIONS, ENFORCEMENT, AND PENALTIES.
A. Violations.
1. It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any provision or fail to comply
with any of the requirements of this chapter. Any person who has violated or
continues to violate the provisions of this chapter, may be subject to the
enforcement actions outlined in this section or may be restrained by injunction
or otherwise abated in a manner provided by law.
2. In the event the violation constitutes an immediate danger to public health or
public safety, the City is authorized to enter upon the subject private
property, without giving prior notice, to take any and all measures necessary to
abate the violation and/or restore the property. The City is authorized to seek
costs of the abatement as outlined in Section 8.05.095.
B. Warning Notice.
When the City finds that any person has violated, or continues to violate, any provision
of this chapter, or any order issued hereunder, the City may serve upon that person a
written Warning Notice, specifying the particular violation believed to have occurred
and requesting the offender to immediately investigate the matter and to seek a
resolution to correct the violation. Investigation and/or resolution of the matter in
response to the Warning Notice in no way relieves the alleged violator of liability for
any violations occurring before or after receipt of the Warning Notice. Nothing in this
subsection shall limit the authority of the City to take any action, including emergency
action or any other enforcement action, without first issuing a Warning Notice. In
addition to serving the alleged violator, such warning shall be mailed to the last known
address of the owner as shown on the County assessor’s records.

owner as shown on the County assessor records.
The Notice of Violation shall contain:
1. The name and address of the alleged violator;
2. The address when available or a description of the building, structure or land

City Manager by filing a written notice of appeal within ten days of service of
notice of violation; and
7. A statement specifying that, should the violator fail to restore compliance
within the established time schedule, the work will be done by a designated
governmental agency or a contractor and the expense thereof shall be charged
to the violator and assessed as a lien against the property.
Such notice may require without limitation:
1. The performance of monitoring, analyses, and reporting;
2. The elimination of illicit connections or discharges;

recur, the City may issue a stop work to such person, directing such person committing
the alleged violations to stop work immediately and directing that no further work be
performed until compliance with this chapter is demonstrated.
E. Emergency Cease and Desist Orders

likely to recur, and that the person’s violation(s) has (have) caused or contributed to an
actual or threatened discharge to the MS4 or waters of the State which reasonably
appears to present an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of
persons or to the environment, the City may issue an order to the violator directing it

F. Suspension Due to Illicit Discharges in Emergency Situations
The City may, without prior notice, suspend MS4 discharge access to a person when such
suspension is necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge that presents or may
present imminent and substantial danger to the environment, or to the health or welfare of
persons, or to the MS4 or Waters of the State. If the violator fails to comply with a
suspension order issued in an emergency, the City may take such steps as it deems
necessary to prevent or minimize damage to the MS4 or Waters of the State.
G. Suspension Due to the Detection of Illicit Discharge
Any person discharging to the MS4 in violation of this chapter may have its MS4 access
suspended if such suspension would abate or reduce an illicit discharge. The City will
notify the violator of the proposed suspension of its MS4 access. The person may petition
the City for reconsideration and hearing as provided in section 8.05.075. A person commits
an offense if the violator reinstates MS4 access to premises suspended pursuant to this
chapter, without the prior approval of the City. A person commits an offense if the person
reinstates MS4 access to premises terminated pursuant to this Section, without the prior
approval of the Public Works Director.
8.05.075. APPEAL OF NOTICE OF VIOLATION.
Any person receiving a Notice of Violation or suspension of permit may appeal to the
city manager for relief with 10 days after service of notice. The petition shall include the
facts upon which the petitioner relies for relief from the obligations of this chapter in
relation to the property. If the city manager finds that it would work a real and unnecessary
hardship upon the petitioner to comply with the terms of this chapter, then the city
manager may relieve the petitioner of the obligations of the chapter in relation to the
particular property, but nothing therein shall be construed as obligating the city to remove
or abate the nuisance without charging the cost as a lien against the said property.
8.05.085. CIVIL PENALTIES.
For each violation of this chapter a civil penalty may be assessed in the amount of up to
$500 per stormwater feature, not to exceed $1,000 per day. Each day a violation exists
shall be considered a separate violation. The City shall consider the following criteria in
determining the amount of any civil penalty to be assessed under this Section.
1. Amount of pollutant discharged.
2. The type of pollutant discharged.
3. Whether the discharge was intentional or accidental.
4. The magnitude and seriousness of the impact of the discharge.
8.05.090. ENFORCEMENT MEASURES AFTER APPEAL.
If the violation has not been corrected pursuant to the requirements set forth in the
Notice of Violation, or, in the event of an appeal, within 10 days of the decision of
the City Manager upholding the decision of the Public Works Director, then
representatives of the Public Works Director shall enter upon the subject private
property and are authorized to take any and all measures necessary to abate the
violation and/or restore the property. It shall be unlawful for any person, owner,
agent or person in possession of any premises to refuse to allow the government

Objections to the proposed assessment shall be heard and determined by the council in its
regular course of business.
B. An assessment for the cost of abatement as determined by the council shall be made by
resolution of the council and shall thereupon be entered in the docket of city liens and,
upon such entry being made, it shall constitute a lien upon the property from which the

enforced and shall bear interest at the rate of six percent per year. Such interest shall
commence to run thirty days after the entry of the lien in the lien docket.
D. An error in the name of the owner or agent in charge of the property shall not void the
assessment nor will a failure to receive the notice of the assessment render the
assessment void, but it shall remain a valid lien against the property.

In addition to the enforcement processes and penalties provided, any condition caused or
permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter is a threat to
public health, safety, and welfare, and is declared and deemed a nuisance, and may

ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Public Works
FROM: Matt Samitore, Parks and Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: March 14, 2019
SUBJECT: Resolution No. _______, A Resolution Adopting the Special Event Fee
Schedule 2019
ACTION REQUIRED:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Currently, city staff operates under an antiquated and confusing price structure for special
events/special event permits. Inasmuch, we are proposing a new event pricing schedule, which
includes resident and non-resident rates and offers dedicated blocks of time to allow for easier
scheduling of our parks and recreation facilities. Furthermore, we have proposed an alteration to
our permit pricing so it would “fall in line” with other current city fees. We have also added two
additional permits—one for water facility usage and one for inflatable bounce houses—as both
require additional staff time for initial setup and post-use maintenance.
Another new addition to our pricing schedule is the availability of ‘Rec & Go’ Rentals. Our
department received a very positive response to last summer’s initial Rec & Go program, and
therefore, we are requesting approval to use Rec & Go to offer rentals in conjunction with our
Central Point Parks Gazebos. The rental would include either 2 or 4 hours, during which Rec &
Go would travel to a gazebo of choice in Central Point, and our assigned staff member would
facilitate games, activities, and recreation for party/event participants. Rec & Go would be
available May through September. The associated rate includes the cost of one Rec & Go staff
member (seasonal staff) and the cost for rental of a park gazebo.
Lastly, we have added additional charges for extra trash associated with our park rentals. Last
year we had an increase in trash being left behind and some events that extended into
evening/nighttime hours, which requires staff to work overtime. We currently plan on each
gazebo rental associated with a special event to get at least one empty garbage container.
In the fall of 2018 staff presented updates to our special event rates to the Parks Commission.
They recommended approval of the rate adjustment.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: Staff does not anticipate a significant “uptick” in revenue should the
council decide to amend the current rate schedule/structure per the above-described.

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE SPECIAL EVENT FEE SCHEDULE 2019
RECITALS:
A. The City of Central Point currently has a fee schedule for special events based upon the
number of occupants attending an event.
B. The revised fee schedule simplifies the rental based upon time rather than number of
occupants.
C. The revised fee schedule includes fees for Rec and Go and for specialty items associated
with an event such water usage, bounce houses and additional garbage.
The City of Central Point resolves as follows:
Section 1. The City hereby adopts the revised Special Event Fee Schedule 2019 in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit “A” to be effective immediately upon its passage.

ISSUE SUMMARY

DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: March 14, 2019
SUBJECT: Planning Commission Report for the March 5, 2019
ACTION REQUIRED:
Information/Direction
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
The following items were presented by staff and discussed by the Planning Commission at
its regular meeting on March 5, 2019.
A. A Public Hearing to continue consideration of the Housing Element (review
draft), which has been updated based on changes to the Population
Element and BLI (File No. CPA-18005) The Housing Element was last updated
in 2017 and was based on an earlier population forecast that estimated a
residential land need of 150 acres. The revised population numbers will
potentially increase the City’s long term residential need to 305 acres. Revising
the Housing Element will enable the City to demonstrate a greater land need
when expanding its UGB this year. The Commission received testimony from
residents in favor of the Housing unit and acreage projections. After discussion
the Commission recommended approval of the revised Housing Element.
B. Discussion of the Residential Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) Amendment
Schedule. A tentative UGB Amendment schedule was proposed by planning
staff that included current Comp Plan document revisions.
