VI. PUBLIC HEARING
A. An Ordinance adopting the Central Point Comprehensive Plan Housing
Element (2019-2039).
City Manager Chris Clayton read the Legislative Hearing Procedures for tonight’s
meeting. No conflict of interest was declared by Council Members.
Principle Planner Stephanie Holtey explained that the Housing Element includes
an analysis of housing needs within the City’s urban area over a 20-year growth
period and addresses the City’s capacity to accommodate that need within the
existing Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) based on past and forecasted housing
and demographic characteristics. The Housing Element sets forth goals and
policies intended to encourage the number of various housing types at
appropriate locations and densities, as well as the price levels that are
compatible with Central Point households.
The Housing Element was last updated in 2017. Portland State University
provided a new population estimate last year which shows a substantial
increased needs for future housing. She provided the background and tables that
need to be updated to meet the new demands going into the future and the
expansion of our urban growth boundary. We estimate that the city now needs
305 acres to increase our minimum density and adjusted land use distribution.
Only tables referencing the population number are being amended. No other
changes were made to the Housing Element.
Mayor Williams opened the public hearing.
Larry Martin, representative for the Taylor West Group.
Mr. Martin complemented the Community Development Department for the hard
work they have been doing on the Urban Growth Boundary Expansion. There will
be a challenge with the higher density designations but he urges the Council to
approve the housing element and move on to the next step of approving the
Urban Growth Boundary expansion.
Russel Kockz, Grant Road resident
Mr. Kockz is in support of the element as presented.
Mayor Williams closed the public hearing.
Rob Hernandez moved to second reading an Ordinance updating and
adopting the Central Point Comprehensive Plan Housing Element (2019-

VII. BUSINESS
A. Dennis Richardson Memorial Discussion
Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore explained that several members of
the community have reached out to the city regarding a memorial, to be located at
the Oregon War Memorial, for Dennis Richardson. Mr. Richardson was a catalyst for
the Memorial and was the driving factor to help it come to Central Point. It would not
have happened without his leadership and vision.
He explained there are two primary options recommended by staff at this time. The
first option would be to move the blue star memorial rock and replace it with a
monument rock and plaque with language describing Dennis and his life of service
and dedication to the war memorial. The second option would be to name the
existing gazebo structure after him including a memorial plaque.
Mayor Williams opened the discussion up for public comment.
Dave Dotterrer, Ashland resident
Mr. Dotterrer has worked with Dennis Richardson in the legislature and has spoken
at the memorial for different City events. There are a lot of veterans here tonight in
support of whatever the city is able to do in memory of Dennis Richardson. He stated
that he has been contacted by several people at the state level who would be
interested in helping with something significant if necessary.
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey stated that the Central Point
Rotary has expressed their support in a memorial for Mr. Richardson.
Debbie Miles, Central Point Resident
Mrs. Miles suggested that the City have a statue made of Dennis and put it in the
park.
Kathy Richardson, Central Point Resident and Dennis Richardson’s widow
Dennis would be honored about all of this and anything that the city decides to do in
memory of him would be great.
Laura Branson, lives in RPS Area
A park would be a great idea. She thinks Dennis would be proud to know a park was
named after him.

Mike Quilty, Central Point Citizen
Mr. Quilty stated that he was appointed to fill a position on the Council when Dennis
was elected to the State Legislature. Dennis was his inspiration when he became a
council member and the city should do something in his memory.
Katie Mallums, Heritage Road resident
Mrs. Mallums stated that a future park would be a nice option when the UGB is
expanded and future development provides a new family park.
Council was in agreement that we should show our respect for Mr. Richardson with
more than a rock and a plaque, or the Gazebo. There were suggestions of a future
park, renaming Don Jones Memorial Park, or creating a rose garden in his name. It
was suggested that an AdHoc Committee be created to discuss options and return to
Council. If it is not something that can be done prior to this year’s Memorial Service
hopefully we could have an idea and have it announced at the event this year. Staff
recommends involving the Parks and Recreation Committee if the recommendation
involves a city park.
Mr. Clayton stated that the city would like to do something that is nice. We have not
had much time to research all of the options. The items that Mr. Samitore has
suggested were items that we could do without construction.
Neil Olson moved to form a Adhoc Committee to research options to
appropriately memorialize Dennis Richardson.

C. Discussion of Little League Partnership Options
Mr. Samitore explained the city has had a series of meeting about the Central Point
Little League and a potential partnership for youth and adult softball leagues that
would be organized by the City. In order to better understand the issues associated
with the Little League fields and establish a long-range plan, staff recommends a
masterplan/facility analysis be done for the fields.

Staff would like to budget $25,000 for a masterplan/facility analysis. The analysis
would be funded by the General Fund through the City’s Parks Department. We are
looking for direction from Council to see if they are in favor of this commitment. The
funds will need to go through the budget recommendation process. If the council
feels this is a worthwhile expenditure we will bring back an agreement between the
City and Little League regarding funding of a consultant and outlining the possible
future steps.
There was discussion that before much could happen at the fields water and
electricity would need to be extended to the buildings. The proposed master plan will
give the city and little league an idea of the work involved in those plans. If the City
does continue forward with this project we would have a long term agreement to
share the fields with Parks and Rec programs and Little League sports.
Council is in favor of working with the Little League but doesn’t think the full $25,000
would be needed. Staff would be directed to find someone to do a masterplan that
would not take the entire amount.
Staff is only looking for direction tonight. The funds would need to go through the
budget process. If approved staff would bring back an agreement for Council to
review and further direct staff. Tonight we are only asking if this is something the
Council would like us to move forward with.
Consensus was to move forward with the budget recommendation process.
RESULT: FOR DISCUSSION ONLY
D. Appointment of New Planning Commission Member
City Manager Chris Clayton explained that Planning Commissioner John Whiting
resigned as of April 3, 2019. The City has received applications from Patrick Smith,
Michael House, and David Gilmore. Mayor Williams recommends appointment of
Patrick Smith to the Planning Commission Position No. 5. He is a current member of
the Citizens Advisory Committee and has been participating in the Urban Growth
Boundary Expansion.
Kelley Johnson moved to approve the recommendation of Patrick Smith to the
Planning Commission Position No. 5 position with a term expiration date of
December 31, 2021.
RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS]

City Recorder has advertised for applicants for the CAC but we have not received
any. She asked the Planning Commission applicants prior to tonight’s meeting if they
would be willing to serve on the CAC. Michael House indicated that he would like to
be appointed to the CAC if he was not appointed to the Planning Commission. David
Gilmore declined the offer to be on the CAC. These committee members do not
have expiring terms.
Brandon Thueson moved to appoint Michael House to the Citizens Advisory
Committee.

F. Preliminary Residential Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) Mapping Discussion
Mrs. Holtey presented rough drafts of maps for our Urban Growth Boundary (UGB)
expansion. Staff is looking for feedback on what direction the Council wishes staff to
pursue. These are very preliminary maps according to what the state and RPS
process will allow. Staff has taken into consideration:
1. Properties that abut either the city limits or current UGB;
2. Properties greater than 10 acres in size;
3. Properties that abut or are within 500 feet of basic urban services;
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 transporation infrastructure;
7. Lands that have been master planned;
8. Readiness for development; and
9. Proximity to the City Center using a central growth pattern.
Alternative 1A applies the criteria addressed but emphasizes inclusion of larger lots
resulting in greater acreage east of Interstate 5 between Upton and Gebhard Roads
and north to Wilson Road. Alternative 1B applies the criteria addressed but increases
the emphasis on small to mid-size parcels with access to services and exception
lands in proximity to basic urban services.
The Planning Commission identifies Alternative A1 as the preferred alternative with
the caveat that careful consideration be given to development readiness based on
continued public input throughout the application process. The Taylor West property
group has master planned the area and have gone to the effort to show the city what
the possibilities could be for that area.
Mayor Williams opened the discussion for public comment.
Katie Mallams, Heritage Road resident
Mrs. Mallams supports Alternative A1. It would cause the least disruption to
residents south of the Taylor West Group that are not interested in becoming part
of the city at this time.

Russel Kockx, Grant Road resident
Mr. Kockx is in favor of Alternative 1A.
Tim Higginbotham, Taylor West Group
Mr. Higginbotham stated that they have access to utilities for sewer, natural gas
and water. He can see the benefits of 1A. There will be nice parks in the Taylor
West Group development; there would be room for a Dennis Richardson
memorial park. There is a section on the map that is gray and to the west of his
property that could be added into the Alternative 1A, it is west of the Taylor West
Group master plan.
Larry Martin, Taylor West Group
Mr. Martin is representing Jim Brown tonight. His property has serviceability
issues and would like to include their property to the Alternative 1A option. His
property was previously left out of the master planning process but has since
changed their minds and would like to be included. The property is just west and
abuts the Taylor West Group master plan. They would need to work on their
concept plan before the real master plan can be complete. This would also take
care of the serviceability issue for this property and increase property ready to
develop on the west side of town.
Jim Gieger, Grant Road resident
There are water issues on Robin Lane, there are additional properties in that
area that are interested in being included in the Alternative 1B.
Mrs. Holtey stated that staff has taken note of all of the feedback provided tonight
and has gotten a sense of the growth pattern the Council would like to see. Mr.
Humphrey stated that the Medford Water Commission does allow hook up to
areas inside our Urban Reserve Areas. This could help solve some of the
immediate issues regarding the wells on the west side of town. We need to have
a more refined map before going to the state and taking the final steps for the
amendment.
Council would like to see the property included in Alternative 1A that have
expressed interest tonight. Staff will be returning to Council with a more defined
map for further discussion. We are not sure if we could return to Council at the
April 25th meeting, and may need to wait until the May 23rd meeting. Council
would be in favor of removing some properties in the CP-2B area if adding the
properties to the Taylor West Group increases above the recommended amount.
Staff will return to Council with a final draft of the map before proceeding with the
application process.

FROM: Steven Weber,
MEETING DATE: April 25, 2019
SUBJECT: 3rd Quarter Financial Report
ACTION REQUIRED:
Consent Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Attached are the City’s financial statements for the period
ending March 31, 2019 which represents 21 months of the biennium. The next 6 pages are the
Revenue and Expenditure statements for each of the respective funds while the last page is the
Budget Compliance report which recaps expenses by department. In all funds, revenues and
expenditures are on track for the time period.
General Fund revenues are on a positive trend to date for the biennium with 93.31% of budget.
This is aided by property tax revenues being at 97.48% received as well as Licenses/Fees and
Interest Income line items being well above budget. Expenditures for te General Fund are at
only 78.66% of the budgeted amount.
The Street Fund revenues are at 76.82% of budget while expenditures are at 82.48% of total
budget. The revenue total is impacted due to the timing of the Costco fees coming in just before
the start of the biennium whereas those fees were budgeted to be received in this current
biennium. Otherwise the fund is in a good position.
The Building Fund continues to show strong revenue totals that exceed overall budgeted
revenues for the biennium.
Water Fund total revenues are 87.18% of budget with expenditures at 91.71%. The Charge for
Services revenue line item (which includes water sales) is trending slightly lower than
expectations (86.64%) but we expect that to get back on track when the weather warms up.
The expenditure total is trending higher due to the completion of large capital projects.
Stormwater and Internal Services Fund revenues and expenditures are in line with this point in
the biennium.
Overall, the City is in a very good financial position with overall revenues at 89.01% of total
budget and expenditures of 81.98% of total budget.

Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner
MEETING DATE: April 25, 2019
SUBJECT: An Ordinance adopting the Central Point Comprehensive Plan Housing
Element (2019-2039).
ACTION REQUIRED:
Ordinance 2nd Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On March 5, 2019, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 866 recommending approval of
the Central Point Comprehensive Plan Housing Element (2019-2039). After considering the Planning
Commission’s favorable recommendation and conducting a public hearing at the April 11, 2019 meeting,
the City Council forwarded the Housing Element to a second reading. It was also considered by the
Citizen’s Advisory Committee with a favorable recommendation. The draft Housing Element is attached.
Housing Element Overview:
The Housing Element evaluates the City’s forecast growth and associated need for housing based on the
availability of built land, household and housing characteristics. It was last updated in 2017 and is being
updated now to reflect changes in the City’s 20-year population forecast per the 2019 Population Element
and updated residential buildable lands. The updated is needed to amend the Urban Growth Boundary
(UGB).
The Housing Element includes an analysis of housing needs within the City’s urban area over a 20-year
growth period and addresses the City’s capacity to accommodate housing needs within the UGB. Based
on demographic household characteristics, the Housing Element sets forth goals and policies intended to
encourage the number of various housing types at appropriate locations and densities, as well as the
price levels that are commensurate with the capabilities of Central Point households.
Since the Housing Element was last updated in 2017, population forecast changes and updated
residential buildable lands information have resulted in an increased need in housing for the period 2019-
2039 as shown in Table 1. The proposed Housing Element addresses these changes and maintains the
previously adopted policies without changes.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
The housing needs identified in the Housing Element do not generate additional cost to the City beyond
the in-kind staff expenses, postage and legal notification cost included within the budgeted funds for
Community Development. The fiscal impact of extending public infrastructure and services to
accommodate future housing will be evaluated at such time as the City proposes amendments to its
UGB.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
Comprehensive Plan text amendments are “Major Amendments” per CPMC 17.96.300 and are subject to
Type IV Legislative application procedures per CPMC 17.05.500. Conducting a second reading of the
Ordinance by the City Council is necessary and a requisite procedure to adopt changes to the Central
Point Comprehensive Plan Housing Element.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
The City Council goal is to provide managed growth and infrastructure and 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 Housing Element aligns with the Council’s goal by: “Continually ensuring that planning and zoning
review and regulations are consistent with the comprehensive plans and vision.”
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Consider the Second Reading of the proposed amendment to the 2019-2039 Housing Element of the
Central Point Comprehensive Plan and 1) approve the ordinance; 2) approve the ordinance with
revisions; or 3) deny the ordinance.

1. Summary
Over the next twenty-years (2019-39) the City of Central Point’s population is projected to add
an additional 7,216 people, the equivalent of 2,887 new households. Most of the households will
be the result of in-migration as the region continues to grow. The physical and demographic
characteristics of these new households are not expected to significantly change. Single-family
detached owner-occupied housing will continue to be the preferred housing type, followed by
multiple-family rental housing.
The most significant housing challenge will be affordability. Regardless of housing type the cost
of housing is taking a larger percentage of household income.
Residential Land Need 1.1
To accommodate the housing demand the City will need an estimated 410 gross acres of
residential land (Table 1). The City’s current inventory of Buildable Residential Land totals 105
gross acres, requiring 305 gross acres of additional Buildable Residential Land.
Aside from the Great Recession of 2008 (“Great Recession”), which had a significant negative
impact on jobs and housing, the most significant influence on the City’s housing program was
the adoption of a development standard requiring a minimum average density of 6.9 dwelling

units per gross acre1 for new residential construction. The relevance of this new density standard
becomes evident when compared to the City’s current average (1889 through 2018) gross density
of 4.41 dwelling units (Table 2). For purposes of comparison Table 2 also shows the City’s 1980
maximum allowable density. Unlike the new density standards, which are measured in terms of
required minimums, the 1980 densities were stated in terms of maximum allowed densities.
The use of minimum average densities does not preclude higher density development. As an
example, during the latter two time periods (2006 through 2018 and 2010 through 2018) the
higher average densities in Table 3 exceed the average 6.9 minimum density standard. It should
be noted that these periods of higher average density were primarily due to the concentration of
Developable Residential acres in the higher density districts (MRes and HRes), and the

subsequent development of higher density housing. These higher densities do not represent the
City’s long-term housing goal of 6.9 dwelling units per gross acre, but instead illustrates the
City’s need to re-stock the low density (LRes) Buildable Residential acres and rebalance the total
Buildable Residential lands inventory to meet the minimum density objective.
To achieve the minimum density standard it will be necessary to modify the acreage distribution
within the City’s residential land use classifications (Table 4). The redistribution is most
significant in the low density (LRes) classification where there was a 10% reduction from the
LRes historic participation. To offset this reduction the medium density (MRes) was increased
9% and a 1% increase in the high density (HRes) land use classifications.
As previously noted (Table 1) the City will need an estimated 410 acres of gross residential land.
After taking into consideration the City’s current inventory of residential land (105 gross acres),
there is a need for an additional 305 gross acres of residential land distributed as shown in Table
5.
Housing Affordability 1.2
Housing affordability will continue to be a challenge for many households, improving and
declining as a function of the national economy. The City is very aware of the challenges in
addressing housing affordability. The Housing Element includes policies requiring the
development of a Housing Implementation Plan (the “HIP”). The specific purpose of the HIP
will be to monitor housing needs and affordability in the context of regional efforts by local
governments and the private sector, and to put into action those strategies that have a positive
mitigating impact on addressing housing need and affordability in the City of Central Point.

The City does have control over a very critical resource in the affordability equation – the
availability of vacant land necessary to meet market demand for housing. Therefore, the primary
objective of this Housing Element is the continued assurance that sufficient land is available for
housing and that zoning standards are flexible and take in to account all housing types and needs.
There are other tools available such as urban renewal and system development charge credits
(SDCs), but consideration of these and other options requires additional analysis beyond what
this Housing Element offers, analysis more appropriate for the HIP and regional strategies.
Housing Types 1.3
Historically the preferred housing type has been single-family detached (SFD) housing. As a
result of changing demographics and affordability the SFD unit has been taking less market
share, and is expected to continue that trend until the issue of affordability is resolved. In 1980
the SFD unit accounted for 80% of the City’s total housing stock. For the period 1980 through
2018 SFD representation dropped to 70% of all housing units built during that period. The
difference was made up in the single-family attached and manufactured homes.
Going forward it is expected that the SFD unit will continue to be the preferred housing type, but
with a declining market share. This is reflected in the Developable Residential Land distribution
shown in Table 4 and Table 5.
2. Introduction
The City’s Housing Element was last updated in 2017 and was based on the 2015 population
forecast prepared by Portland State University’s Population Research Center (PSU). The most
recent PSU forecast (2018) for the City increases the City’s population by 7,216 vs. the 4,420 in
the 2015 PSU forecast. The magnitude of the 2018 increase is sufficient to warrant a re-

evaluation and 2019 update of the Housing Element, particularly as it applies to the need for
Buildable Residential Lands.
Prior to the 2017 Housing Element there was the 1983 Housing Element. Ironically, the 1983
Housing Element was completed just after the 1980’s Real Estate Crash. Its purpose statement
reflects local government’s frustration in its inability to offer timely, meaningful and sustainable
solutions to needed housing as “. . . usually ineffective.” This reaction is understandable given
the circumstances in 1983. At the housing peak in 1978 over 4 million homes across the U.S.
were sold. Then, over the course of the next four years housing sales dropped over 50%. With
interest rates in excess of 15% housing affordability was a major issue. It wasn’t until 1996,
almost two decades later, that the national housing market recovered to its 1978 level. Since the
Recession we once again confront the issue of housing need and affordability.
Housing demand and supply, as with most commodities, varies with changing demographics and
economic cycles. Demographic changes can affect the long-term (generational) demand for
housing and is predictable and easily factored into the supply side of the housing equation.
Economic cycles, unlike demographic changes, are more whimsical, less predictable, and can be
very disruptive to the shorter-term demand and supply for housing. The Great Recession had,
and still poses, a significant impact on housing, both on the demand and the supply side of the
equation. Prior to the Great Recession demand for housing was high and with sub-prime lending
practices housing was affordable. By the end of 2007 the housing bubble had burst – the Great
Recession had arrived. Unemployment skyrocketed (16%), mortgage foreclosures reached
historic levels, and housing prices tumbled. Overnight housing production of all types virtually
ceased. Without jobs homeownership was out of reach for many households.
The Great Recession did not reduce the real demand for housing; people still needed a place to
live. Consequently, the demand for rental units increased, but due to the failure of the financial
system, real estate lending for all housing types dried up, the short-term housing supply
plateaued. With the increase in the demand for rental housing rents began to escalate. Today,
unemployment and interest rates are near all-time lows, wages are increasing (although slowly),
and lending practices are easing, all of which are improving the supply and affordability of
housing, but affordability still remains a challenge. As the economy continues to improve the
question remains – will housing affordability continue to improve, or will additional measures be
needed before sustainable solutions to the affordability issue are realized?
3. Oregon’s Statewide Planning Goal 10, Housing
The need for housing/shelter is one of man’s basic survival needs. Oregon’s Statewide Planning
Goals, Goal 10, Housing, recognizes this need and offers a venue to address not only housing
needs in general, but also the broader spectrum of housing – its affordability. The stated purpose
of Goal 10 is to “. . . encourage adequate numbers of needed housing at price ranges and rent
levels commensurate with the financial capabilities of the City’s households”.
The City of Central Point’s Housing Element addresses the objectives set forth in the State’s
Goal 10, Housing. The Housing Element will not only encourage adequate numbers of needed
housing, but the continuous monitoring of housing activity as it relates to both need and
affordability, and the development of strategies and actions addressing housing affordability. It is

F i n a l D r a f t 1 -30-2 0 1 9 P a g e 9 | 37
for this reason that the Housing Element introduces the creation of a Housing Implementation
Plan, a dynamic working document that monitors housing activity within the City and
coordinates with other communities in the development and implementation of affordable
housing at both the local and regional level.
4. Purpose
Over the course of the next 20-year planning period (2019-39) the City’s population is projected
to increase by 7,216 residents2. With an average household size of 2.5 persons3 there will be a
need for 2,887 dwelling units. The types, density, and land required to meet the projected
housing demand will be addressed in this Housing Element. On the demand side the Housing
Element will monitor the demand for housing and make necessary adjustments in the land
supply, while on the supply side the Housing Element will encourage and support the
development of a wide array of housing types. The purpose of the Housing Element is:
To assure that the City’s land use policies, support a variety of housing types at
densities and locations that provide and encourage opportunities for the provision
of adequate numbers of needed housing units at price ranges and rent levels
commensurate with the financial capabilities of the City’s households. It is also
the purpose of this element to open and maintain communication between private
industry and local public officials in seeking an improved housing environment
within the Greater Bear Creek Valley Region.
There are six basic indicators of housing need that serve as the basis for this Housing
Element:
1. Household Characteristics;
2. Housing Characteristics;
3. Housing Density, Land Use and Zoning;
4. Buildable Residential Lands;
5. Housing Affordability; and
6. Future Housing Demand and Residential Land Needs
The conclusions, goals and policies of this Housing Element are derived from the current
status of each indicator. As part of the Housing Implementation Plan it is expected that
each indicator will be monitored and tracked periodically for changes that affect the
City’s housing needs.
5. Household Characteristics
One of the factors in determining housing demand is an understanding of the characteristics of
our households. As defined by the U.S. Census a household includes all the people who occupy a
housing unit (such as a house or apartment) as their usual place of residence. There are two

F i n a l D r a f t 1 -30-2 0 1 9 P a g e 10 | 37
major categories of households, "family" and "nonfamily." For purposes of this Housing Element
the term “household” includes both “family” and “non-family” households.
The following describes those household characteristics pertinent to understanding the City’s
housing needs.
Household Tenure 5.1
By definition tenure refers to the distinction between owner-occupied and renter-
occupied housing units. For the City of Central Point owner occupied housing has been
historically the dominant, but declining, form of tenure. In 2017 owner occupied housing
represented 61% of all households (Figure 1), down slightly from 2015. Renter occupied
units have typically been less than half (Figure 2) of owner occupied units (39%).
As a result of the Great Recession, and its impact on jobs and income, the owner
occupied percentages have been declining as foreclosures forced many to abandon their
homes and seek rental housing. Since the Great Recession, as jobs and wages gradually
improved, there should have been some movement back to ownership as the preferred
tenure. At the county and state level, although slightly lower, there have been some gains
in ownership, but at the City level ownership continued to decline. The reason for the
decline may be as simple as the increase in construction of rental units since 2015, which
may now have reached market capacity, or the result of the growing disparity between
increasing housing costs and lagging household income.

Age of Householder 5.2
A householder is a person, or one of the people, in whose name the home is owned or
rented. If there is no such person present, then any household member 15 years old and
over can serve as the householder4. As illustrated in Figure 3 the dominant householder
age has been within the 35 to 64 category. As a result of the Great Recession, and the
subsequent loss in jobs and income, householders in this age category experienced a
reduction, 49% in 2010. Since the Great Recession, as job conditions improved this age
category as returned to its pre-recession level.

F i n a l D r a f t 1 -30-2 0 1 9 P a g e 12 | 37
The age category 65 plus was not affected by the Great Recession. Householders in this
category are typically retired, and therefor insulated against the income induced impacts
(jobs) of a recession. The increase of householders in this age category is the product of
the aging Baby Boomer generation.
Unlike the other two age categories the 15 to 34 category experienced an increase as a
result of the Great Recession. Since the recovery the housing participation of this
category has dropped below 20%, possibly as a result of relocation for employment
purposes.
Household Size 5.3
The average household size is computed based on occupied housing and total population.
Until the Recession the average City household size had been continually declining and
projected to level-out at 2.5 persons per household. Since the Recession the average
household size has actually increased. The increase in household size also occurred at the
state and county. The primary cause for the increase in average household size is again
due to the Recession as many younger adults moved in with their parents or cohabitated
for affordability reasons. It is anticipated that as the economy improves and ages that the
average household size will continue its downward trend.
Figure 4 identifies changes in the average household size since 1990. The City’s
Population Element identified an average household size of 2.5 for planning purposes
over the next twenty years.
Household Income 5.4
Between 2000 and 2010 the median household income has steadily increased, peaking in
2010 at $50,631 for the City. Since the Great Recession household incomes have
declined. As of 2017 the median household income for the City was $48,409 (Figure 5),

down slightly from 2015. At the county and state level median incomes have increased.
As with household ownership this decline may be a function of rental housing
construction since 2015. Pending continued improvement in the economy the median
household income should improve, which in turn should improve housing affordability.
During the Great Recession the most financially impacted household income group was
the $35,000 to $49,999 category. This group has almost recovered to pre-Recession
levels (Figure 6). The $50,000 to $74,999 income group is the largest group representing
approximately 25% of all households.

Special Needs Housing 5.5
Certain minority groups within the general population have unique challenges and
needs that deserve consideration as part of this Housing Element. Often these
groups are ignored because they represent a small portion of the total population.
However, it is the responsibility of local government to ensure that all citizens
have an opportunity for safe and decent housing. The City’s most significant
contribution to addressing special housing is assurances that the City’s zoning and
building regulations are not impediments and that the City works collaboratively
with other organizations to assure that special needs housing is not left behind.
5.5.1 Elderly Residents
The Baby Boom Generation is the fastest growing segment of the population at
both the national, state, and local level. By 2040 it is projected that nationally one
in eight persons will be at least 75. In 2014 that figure was one in sixteen5.
Among individuals aged 80 and over more than 75% live in their own homes,
making “aging in place” the preference of most of the elderly population.
However, as this older demographic continues to grow, they will find themselves
in housing that is not suited or “. . . prepared to meet their increasing need for
affordability, accessibility, social connectivity, and well-being.” As people age,
their physical needs change. Climbing stairs and turning doorknobs can become
more difficult impacting the ability to “age in place” becomes more difficult.
The majority of elderly residents are retired and living on pensions or other forms
of fixed income. As the costs of maintaining a household increase over time the

elderly are typically spending an increasing percentage of their income on
housing. As people age, they need housing that is structurally and mechanically
safe and that is designed to accommodate people with disabilities. Given the
widely varying circumstances of older adults, meeting their housing and housing-
related needs requires a range of responses.
5.5.2 Handicapped Residents
Residents who are physically handicapped suffer many of the same problems as
the elderly, such as fixed incomes and difficulty in maintaining property.
Strategies for elderly housing are applicable to handicapped households.
Poverty (Extremely Low Income) Residents 5.6
The federal government defines the 2017 poverty level between $12,600 and $41,320
depending on the household size6. In 2017 approximately 10% of all families within the
City were classified at or below the poverty level, up from 2015. At the County and State
level there was a decline in the percentage of families at or below the poverty level. The
increase in poverty level households correlates with the decline in median household
income. The construction of more single-family detached owner occupied homes will
change this trend.
Summary, Household Characteristics 5.7
Since 2015 the City’s percentage of owner occupied units has dropped below the county
and state level. The median household income in 2017 is lower than the county and the
state. Although the average household size increased this is expected to be a reaction to
the Recession, and will return to lower levels in the future as housing affordability

improves. As noted earlier the reduction in ownership and income may be a short-term
event resulting from rental housing construction since 2015.
6. Housing Characteristics
The City’s housing stock is approaching 7,000 dwelling units of various type, ages, and
value. In 1980 the City’s housing inventory totaled 2,2917 dwelling units. By the end of
2018 the housing unit inventory within the City was 6,864 dwelling units. The following
describes the characteristics of the City’s housing stock by age, type, tenure, and value.
Housing Age 6.1
Based on the age of the City’s housing stock Central Point is considered a young
community. Most of the housing was constructed after 1980 (71%). The older housing
stock (pre-1949) is concentrated in the original central area of the City. Because of its
age most of the City’s housing stock is in very good physical condition.
Housing Type 6.2
The City’s housing stock is comprised of seven (7) housing types as follows:
1. Single-Family Detached; a dwelling on a legally defined property designed to be
occupied by only one family.
2. Single-Family Attached; a dwelling on a legally defined property designed to be
occupied by only one family, but has a common wall with other single-family
attached dwelling(s);

F i n a l D r a f t 1 -30-2 0 1 9 P a g e 17 | 37
3. Duplex/Triplex/Apartments; a group of dwellings on a legally defined property
having 2, 3, and 4 or more dwelling units with separate entrances. This includes
two-story houses having a complete apartment on each floor and also side-by-side
apartments on a single legally described lot that shares a common wall.
Apartments that have accessory services such as food service, dining rooms, and
housekeeping are included within this definition;
4. Manufactured Homes; a dwelling on a legally defined property that is
constructed for movement on the public highways that has sleeping, cooking and
plumbing facilities intended for residential purposes and that is constructed on a
foundation in accordance with local laws and federal manufactured construction
and safety standards and regulations.
5. Manufactured Homes in Mobile Home Parks; a group of dwellings located on
a legally defined property (Mobile Home Park) that are constructed for movement
on the public highways that has sleeping, cooking and plumbing facilities
intended for residential purposes and that is constructed on a foundation in
accordance with local laws and federal manufactured construction and safety
standards and regulations and
6. Government Assisted, housing that provides the occupants with government
sponsored economic assistance to alleviate housing costs and expenses for needy
people with low to moderate income households. Forms of government assisted
housing include direct housing subsidies, non-profit housing, public housing, rent
supplements and some forms of co-operative and private sector housing.
The City’s housing policies and zoning regulations allow for all of the above housing
types.
Historically (1889-1979), the City’s housing preference has been for single-family
detached housing supplemented by apartments (Table 6). SFR attached units account for
less than .5% of the total housing inventory, but this is expected to change as attached
housing becomes more acceptable and is an affordable housing option. Between 1980
and 2018 the distribution of housing type by land use category is illustrated in Table 7. At
70% of the total housing stock the single-family detached home was still the preferred
housing type, followed by apartments (11%) and Duplex/Triplex (5%). As a housing type
Assisted Living housing accounts for approximately 1% of the total housing inventory.
Table 8 measures residential construction between 2006 through 2018 illustrating the
shifting of preferences in new residential construction. As a percentage of new
construction single-family detached, at 56%, was down from historical highs. Single-
family attached increased significantly (12%) from its historic level. For the duplex
housing types it was 5%, and for apartments it was at 25%. The purpose in comparing
various construction periods is to illustrate that during any given time span the housing
inventory will respond with variations in the housing type mix depending on economic
circumstances.

F i n a l D r a f t 1 -30-2 0 1 9 P a g e 18 | 37
The decline in single-family detached dwelling types was the due to the loss of jobs and
the subsequent reduction in income occurring as a result of the Recession. When
measured between 2010 (post-recession) to 2018 (Table 9) the preference for single-
family detached homes improved, whether or not it will continue improving to its post-
Recession levels remains to be seen. The point is that during any given time span the
housing inventory will respond with variations in the housing type mix.
It is worth noting (Table 6) that a significant number of single-family detached units are
located within the higher density land use classifications (24%). The reason for this is
primarily historic and regulatory. Many of the older single-family detached
neighborhoods have been designated as medium density (MRes) to encourage infill
development. On the regulatory side prior to 2006 new single-family detached dwelling
units were permitted in the HRes classifications as an acceptable housing type. This
practice was suspended in 2006 with amendments to the zoning code requiring minimum
densities in all residential zones, and the exclusion of single-family detached dwellings in
the high density residential districts.

Housing Value 6.3
Prior to the Great Recession the median owner occupied housing value increased
substantially reaching a peak value of $233,000 (Figure 9). These early value increases
were indicative of the demand and affordability of housing. Jobs were plentiful and easy
financing was accessible. With the on-set of the Great Recession the real estate bubble
burst causing a 22% reduction ($181,200) in the 2010 median house value. Since 2010
owner occupied housing values have been increasing, but not to pre-Recession levels. By
2017 the median housing value, at $203,500, had not reached its 2010 peak.

In 2017 the housing value distribution (Figure 10) places 48% of the City’s owner
occupied inventory in the $199,999 or less category, down from 55% in the 2017
Housing Element.
Housing Vacancy 6.4
Another characteristic of the housing supply is the vacancy rate. Vacancy rate is the
percentage of housing units (rental and ownership) are unoccupied or are available for
rent at any given time. The vacancy rate also serves as a measure of housing demand vs.
supply. A vacancy rate less than 5% is equivalent to market equilibrium supply equals
demand. As illustrated in Figures 11 and 12 the vacancy rates for owner and renter
housing have been increasing in both the City, while for the county and the state the

vacancy rate has been declining.
Summary, Housing Characteristics 6.5
The City’s housing inventory is typical of the region reflecting the western region’s
preference for single-family detached housing. The housing stock is young and heavily
concentrated in the single-family detached category. The cost of housing is slightly on the
high side for the region, but typical for the state. The demand for housing, measured by
the vacancy rate in 2017, is strong.
7. Housing Density, Land Use and Zoning
In 2012 the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan was approved by Jackson County. Shortly
thereafter the City of Central Point adopted its component of the Regional Plan as an element to
the City’s Comprehensive Plan. In the City’s Regional Plan Element it was agreed that all new
residential development within the UGB would be constructed at an average minimum density of
6.9 dwelling units per gross acre, and after 2036 the minimum density would increase to 7.9
dwelling units per gross acre. The targeted density for this Housing Element is 7.04 dwelling
units per gross acre.
Housing Density 7.1
Measured in 10-year increments beginning in 1980 the City’s average gross residential density
has been steadily increasing (Table 10). The causes and rates of increase have not been
specifically studied, but in general can be attributed to a variety of factors from changes in the
economy to improving efficiencies in housing development practices. In 2006 the City amended
its zoning ordinance setting mandatory minimum density standards for all residential zoning
districts. Until then the higher density zoning districts were allowed to build at much lower
single-family detached densities.

and 2006 through 2018 by land use designation and zoning. The information in Tables 11
through 14, by removing pre-1980 development, provides a different perspective from the
density information in Table 10. The most significant difference is in the dramatic density
increase post-2006. This increase is attributed to the 2006 codified minimum density requirement
and the declining inventory of low density (LRes) designated lands.

Land Use and Housing Type 7.2
The City has four (4) residential land use classifications and seven residential zoning
districts. These classifications accommodate differing densities and housing types. Each
land use classification has assigned zoning districts. Within each residential land use
classification/zoning district the following housing types are allowed:

Summary, Housing Density 7.3
Since 1980 the City’s average gross density has been steadily improving. The ability of
the City to achieve a minimum density of 6.9 for the period 2019 through 2039 appears to
be very attainable.
8. Buildable Residential Lands
The 2019 Residential BLI identified a total residential land inventory within the City’s urban
area of approximately 1,488 acres that are zoned and planned for residential use (Table 16). The
City’s residential lands are distributed over four residential land use categories and nine zoning
districts. The largest of the residential classifications is the LRes (Low Density) at 67% of all
residential lands followed by the MRes (Medium Density) at 15%.
The four (4) residential land use classifications and their related zoning districts are:
1. Very Low Density Residential (VLRes);
a. Very Low
2. Low Density Residential (LRes);
a. R-1-6
b. R-1-8

Table 16 identifies the City’s residential land allocations by land use classification. Table 17
provides the same information by zoning district.
As of the end of 2018 there were approximately 105 acres of Buildable Residential Land8 within
the City’s urban area. The vacant acreage in each land use classification is illustrated in Table 18.
The vacant acreage available in the single-family VLRes and LRes land use classifications is 3%
and 36% respectively of the total vacant land use inventory. The bulk of the City’s net buildable
residential acreage is in the MRes (40%) and HRes (21%) classifications, representing over 60%
of the City’s buildable vacant residential acres (83 acres).

Summary, Buildable Residential Lands 8.1
The City’s Buildable Residential Land inventory is currently under represented by the LRes
classification and over represented in the higher density residential land use classifications
(MRes and HRes).
9. Housing Affordability
Housing affordability, whether renter or owner occupied, is typically measured as a percentage
of household income. A standard benchmark for housing affordability is when housing costs are
less than or equal to 30% of total household income. When housing costs exceed 30% of
household income affordability becomes an issue.
Renter Households 9.1
As illustrated in Figure 13 the Great Recession had a significant impact on rental housing
affordability as the percentage of renter households paying more than 30% increased
from 37% to 50% by 2010, and by 2017 had continued to rise to 57% of all renter
households. At the county and state level the experience was much the same except that
in 2015 there was a slight decline, but by 2017 there was a slight increase in the number
of renter households paying more than 30%.

Owner Households 9.2
To a lesser extent the rate of affordability in owner households followed the same pattern
as renter households. By 2017 owner households paying more than 30% of income on
housing increased from a pre-Recession 25% to 32% (Figure 14). Since the Great
Recession the price of housing has continued to rise, exceeding the increase in wages. As
of December 2018, average hourly wages were up 2.9% year-over-year, while the median
home value in the U.S. was up 7.7%. It is expected that in 2019 local home values will
continue to rise, but at a slower 3.79%9.

Summary, Affordability 9.3
The question of housing affordability, especially since the Recession, is without question
an issue that needs addressing and continual monitoring. The basic demand and supply
mechanics of housing affordability are easily understandable, but the solutions; either on
the demand or supply side, are extremely complex, especially at the local level. During
preparation of this Housing Element many housing affordability programs and strategies
were reviewed, but without any final determination on a preferred strategy to mitigate the
affordability issue. At this time the only solutions that this Housing Element offers
regarding affordability are:
1. Provide an inventory of vacant residential lands sufficient to accommodate the
need for all housing types.
2. Monitor and manage residential development standards and processes to eliminate
unnecessary costs.
3. Prepare and maintain a Housing Implementation Program (HIP) that annually
tracks the demand and supply of vacant residential lands and housing construction
by type of housing.
4. Collaborate at the regional level in the identification, prioritization, development,
and implementation of strategies specifically addressing housing affordability.
10. Future Housing Demand and Residential Land Need
Based on the 2018 Population Projections prepared by PSU it is estimated that by 2039 the
City’s population will have increased by 7,216 residents. With an average household size of 2.5
persons per household10 an additional 2,887 new dwelling units will be needed to accommodate
the projected population growth. At a minimum density of 6.9 dwelling units per gross acre11 the
City will need approximately 41012 acres of residentially planned lands to accommodate the
2,887 new dwelling units. Given the existing Buildable Residential Lands (105 acres) the City
needs an additional 305 acres of Buildable Residential Land (Table 19).
As previously discussed the City has historically and consistently made gains in residential
density (Table10). Since 1980, a time period representative of a balanced Buildable Residential
Land inventory, the residential density pattern and land use distribution yielded an average gross
density of almost 5.42 units per acre (Table 21). If new residential construction follows a similar
land use and density pattern the City would not meet its 6.9 minimum density requirement. To
achieve the minimum density standard it is necessary to either re-allocate the distribution of
housing by land use classification; increase the minimum density requirements for each land use
classification; or a combination of both.

For purposes of meeting the 6.9 density standards the City used an iterative process based on a
mix of land use distribution and density. Table 20 shows the preferred distribution of Buildable
Residential Lands. To achieve the 6.9 minimum density it was necessary to decrease the LRes
and increase the higher density MRes. For comparison purposes the historic distribution is also
shown.

By adjusting both the mix and density of the various residential land use classifications the
needed 2,887 dwelling units can be accommodated on 305 acres yielding an average density of
7.04 dwelling units per gross acre (Table 22).
The proposed densities and land use allocations are explained as follows:
VLRes – The VLRes classification supports the R-L (Rural) Low Density) zoning
district. The allocation of very low density lands has remained constant at 4%. The
allocation retention was based on the finding that as the City expands into the UGB/URA
there will be environmental and agricultural conflicts which may necessitate larger lots as
a buffering mitigation strategy.
LRes – The LRes classification represents the R-1-6, R-1-8, and R-1-10 zoning districts.

The allocation of low density residential lands has been reduced from a previous 70% to
60%. Historically the LRes has been the preferred land use category, with an emphasis on
single-family detached housing. The single-family detached preference is likely to
continue into the future. The LRes classification experienced the most quantitative
changes in both density and land use allocation.
MRes – The MRes classification represents the LMR and R-2 zoning districts. The
allocation of medium density residential lands increased from 11% to 20%.
HRes – The HRes classification represents the MMR, HMR, and R-3 zoning districts.
The allocation of the high density residential lands was increased from 15% to 16%. The
minimum density increased slightly with the conversion from net density to gross
density.
The City currently has an inventory of 105 buildable acres of residential land (Section 8,
Buildable Residential Lands). Table 23 identifies the current vacant acreage need, and where
there is a shortage, the additional needed acreage by land use classification. Of the 410 acres
needed to satisfy the future demand a total of 305 new gross acres are needed to supplement the
existing inventory.
Future Housing Tenure 10.1
It is expected that the long-term mix of owner (70%) and renter (30%) occupied housing will be
the preferred tenure mix in the long run. If the future tenure mix does not trend toward the 70/30
mix then issues in affordability should be evaluated and appropriate measures in housing type
and affordability addressed.
Future Housing Types 10.2
For the foreseeable future the preferred housing type will be the single-family detached dwelling.
The only impediment to this choice will be affordability, which will rise and fall with changes in
the economy. It is expected that attached single-family will continue to improve as a housing
choice. The City’s current land use regulations provide for a wide variety of housing types, and
should continue to do so throughout the planning period. Over the course of time the City needs
to monitor, through its HIP, any changes in housing type demand against deficiencies in land
supply, and where appropriate make adjustments.
In addition to availability of housing type the City needs to take into account the health aspects
afforded well planned neighborhoods. The land use planning of new neighborhoods and the
revitalization of existing neighborhoods needs to acknowledge the health, both social and
physical, benefits to the City’s residents in living in well planned neighborhoods.

ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
City Attorney
FROM: Sydnee Dreyer, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: April 25, 2019
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Formation of a County Law Enforcement Service
District
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
None Forwarded
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Jackson County has proposed formation of a county service district to construct, operate and
maintain a new local correctional facility in Jackson County per ORS 451.010. The County
desires to include all county territory within the boundaries of the proposed district, including the
City of Central Point. Before the County can consider an order on formation of the district, the
city (and all other cities proposed to be included) must approve the creation of the district and
consent to inclusion in the boundaries of the district by resolution. All cities must vote on
whether to be included by May 17, 2019.
The County Board of Commissioner’s is scheduled to consider the order initiating the formation
of the Law Enforcement Service District (the “District”) at its May 22, 2019 meeting. If the order
is approved by the Board, the matter would then be set for public hearing on June 26, 2019
before the Board. The purpose of the hearing is to take testimony and receive written comment
on the proposed formation of the District, the economic feasibility of the District and the
permanent tax rate limit, which is currently proposed as $.8353 per $1,000 of assessed value.
This means for a residence valued at $200,000, the tax would be approximately $167/year. At
the conclusion of the hearing the Board will vote on whether the County will benefit from the
creation of the District, and per the procedures specified in ORS 198.805, would refer the matter
to the voters.
In the event the City approves the resolution for inclusion in the District, the City will be
proposed for inclusion. The subject resolution does not create the District, nor ensure that a
District will be created in the future. The resolution only provides the County authority to include
the City in the District if it is ultimately formed. Per the County, if any one city does not consent
to inclusion, the County would likely have to come up with a new plan, as the current service
district proposal, with less than the entire County, wouldn’t be viable.
In the event the cities consent, and the County approves the order, the County shall be required
to hold an election on the question of forming the district. The election would be held in
November 2019. Authorization of the District requires approval by a majority of the votes cast in
8.B
Packet Pg. 68
the proposed District. The election results are determined by the votes cast of the proposed
district as a whole, not on a city-by-city basis.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: No direct financial impact to City.
LEGAL ANALYSIS: ORS Ch 451 allows for the establishment of a county service district for
law enforcement services, including construction, maintenance and operation of a local
correctional facility. District boundaries are established at its inception and the city must
consent to be included in the boundaries.
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: None.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Make a motion to approve or not approve Resolution No.
