Flo Bohnert Family Farm Park. The City received a large grant from the Oregon
Parks Department contingent on the first two phases being complete and a formal
deed transfer to the City being recorded. The City has been working with the
developer on the phases of the park in order to get completion and the deed
transferred to the City.
Time is of the essence in accepting the dedication of this land, dedication is a
condition of the grant award, which will expire soon if not accepted by the city.
Although some of the details have not been completed staff recommends approving
the Resolution accepting the property. The city has the authority to accept the
dedication and will continue to work with the developer to remove the CCRs from the
park and prior to recording the deed. The city will ensure receipt of the tax assessor’s
certification that all property taxes have been paid. If the deadline passes without the
city accepting the deed Central Point would be in jeopardy of not being eligible for
future grants from the Oregon Parks Department.
Kelley Johnson moved to approve Resolution No. 1581, accepting a deed of
dedication for land referred to as the Don and Flo Bohnert Family Park from
the Twin Creeks Development Company, LLC for Park purposes and directing
the city manager to take such steps as may be required to complete the
donation.

IX. BUSINESS
A. RVTD Bus Stop Shelter Location Change
Mr. Samitore explained a request from RVTD to move the bus stop on 2nd Street
south 75 feet in front of US Bank. They have received a complaint about sight
triangle issues. He stated that when a bus is stopped at the current location it could
be a vision issue with cars in the opposite lane and vehicles going east on Manzanita
Street. The move to the south may remove the site triangle issue but will cause the
alley between US Bank and Human Bean to be blocked during loading and
unloading.
Council members are concerned that blocking the bank driveway for 2 to 3 minutes
twice an hour could cause traffic to back up onto Pine Street which would be a bigger
issue than a sight triangle. Overall the Council is not in favor of moving the RVTD
bus stop if it will be blocking the alley and entrance to the bank.
Mr. Samitore stated that he will relay the information to RVTD and they can look at
other alternatives.
RESULT: FOR DISCUSSION ONLY
B. Planning Commission Report
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey provided the June 4, 2019
Planning Commission report:

Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner
MEETING DATE: June 27, 2019
SUBJECT: First Reading - Ordinance Updating and Adopting the Employment
Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI), an adjunct to the Land Use Element.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Public Hearing
Ordinance 1st Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On June 4, 2019, the Planning Commission considered the Employment Buildable Lands
Inventory (BLI), an adjunct to the Land Use Element of the Central Point Comprehensive Plan,
and conducted a duly noticed public hearing. No public testimony was received during the public
hearing and the Planning Commission voted unanimously to forward a favorable
recommendation to the City Council to approve the Employment BLI (Attachment “A”).
In accordance with OAR 660-024-0050(1), the Employment BLI tracks the availability of vacant
and redevelopable employment (i.e. commercial, industrial, civic) lands likely to be developed
over the next 20-years.Additionally it presents the distribution of buildable acres by parcel size
and employment use category (i.e. retail, office, industrial land use). The Employment BLI is not
a policy document in and of itself but is used in assessing the City’s economic opportunities in
the Economic Element (CPA-19003).
Employment BLI Overview:
Table 1. Employment Site Distribution:
Vacant Acres vs. Vacant Parcels
Acreage
Category
Vacant
Acres
Vacant
Parcels
Large Retail 20% 3%
Medium Retail 13% 9%
Small Retail 9% 43%
Large Office 0% 0%
Medium Office 3% 4%
7.A
Packet Pg. 13
The City’s urban area consists of 2,972 acres of which
633 (21%) are designated for employment use in the
following categories:
Commercial: 232.70acres (8%)
Industrial: 279.50 acres (9%)
Civic: 121.05 acres (4%)
The Employment BLI tracks the development status of the City’s employment lands by land use
classification and zoning district. There are two basic types of buildable lands: 1) vacant land
and 2) redevelopment land. Vacant lands have no improvement value and redevelopment lands
are those lands that have experienced development but are likely to be converted to more
intensive employment uses during the planning period due to present or expected market
forces. Per the BLI, the City has 147 acres of buildable employment land, 31% of which is
classified as redevelopment land. Of the City’s buildable employment lands, the majority of the
City’s vacant acreage is in small size retail and industrial parcels. However these categories
account for a significantly lower percentage of buildable vacant acreage.
Small Office 0% 1%
Large Industrial 11% 1%
Medium Industrial 33% 12%
Small Industrial 12% 27%
Total 100% 100%
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
budgeted for Community Development.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The Employment 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.
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 2019-3029
Employment 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.”

1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Employment Buildable Land Inventory (Employment BLI) is to maintain a
record of the availability of buildable employment lands within the City’s urban area (Figure 1).
The Employment 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 employment needs for a 20-year planning period as determined in OAR 660-
009-0015. For purposes of this Employment BLI the 20-year planning period is 2019 to 2039.

Packet Pg. 19 Attachment: Employment BLI (Final) (1162 : Employment Buildable Lands Inventory)
2019 – 2039 Employment BLI
Page 4 of 18
By definition the Employment BLI is strictly a land inventory system. The Employment BLI is
not a policy document. The Employment BLI is used by other Comprehensive Plan elements as a
resource for the development and monitoring of policies related to economic development and
land use.
The Employment BLI is considered a living document that is continually updated as development
activity occurs and is entered into the City’s BLI electronic data base (BLI2019).
2. LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS AND ZONING
The Employment BLI maintains an accounting of all employment lands by land use classification
and zoning (Table 1).
The City’s Comprehensive Plan contains five (5) employment land use classifications (Table 2).
The employment land use classifications are supported by nine (9) employment zoning districts
(Table 3). The Land Use Classifications and Zoning districts are defined and mapped in the City’s
Land Use Element.

3. EMPLOYMENT LAND INVENTORY
As of December 31, 2018, the City of Central Point’s urban area contained a total of 633 gross
acres (Table 2 and 3) of employment designated land, representing 21% of the City’s total land
inventory. The City’s Employment lands were distributed amongst three basic land use
categories; Commercial (8%), Industrial (9%), and Civic (4%) lands.
4. BUILDABLE EMPLOYMENT LAND INVENTORY
The term “Buildable Land” is typically reserved for residential use1. However, for purposes of
consistency the term “Buildable Land” is applied in this BLI for purposes of identifying and
tracking the City’s Employment Land inventory.
Within the City’s urban area, there are approximately 633 acres of employment land distributed
over five (5) employment land use classifications and nine (9) employment zoning districts.
Approximately 147 acres (23%) of the City’s total employment land is considered net buildable
acres. Table 4 and 5 identify the distribution of the employment net buildable land by vacant land
type (vacant, constrained, and redevelopment), and total buildable acres. Figure 2 illustrates the
geographic distribution of the City’s employment buildable vacant land inventory (May 7, 2019).
In calculating the Employment Net Buildable Lands a determination must be made that the
buildable lands are suitable, available and necessary (OAR 660-009-0005(2)) for development
throughout the 20-year planning period. There are two basic classifications of buildable
employment land:
1 OAR 660-024-0010(1).

a. Vacant Land –Lands on which there are no improvements. 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 employment uses during the planning
period.
4.2 Total Net Buildable Acres. Tables 3 and 4 identify the Total Net Buildable Acres of
employment land by land use designation and zoning. Approximately 23% of the
City’s employment lands are identified as buildable. A large percentage (31%) of the
City’s net buildable acreage is classified as redevelopment land.
4.3 Parcel Size Distribution. An important consideration in considering a city’s
employment land inventory is parcel size. This is particularly true for industrial
property. Tables 6 and 7 identify the distribution of the City’s employment lands by
size (Large, Medium, and Small) within three general employment categories (Retail,
Office, and Industry). Tables 8 and 9 illustrate the same information for vacant
employment lands.

Figure 3 summarizes the parcel and acreage distribution for the vacant employment
lands. As illustrated in Table 3 the City’s inventory of vacant employment land is
concentrated in the large retail and large industrial parcel category (31%), but only
represent 4% of the total number of vacant employment parcels.
It needs to be noted that the Office category is represented by the EmpCom land use
classification. With respect to office use all of the Cities commercial land use
classifications allow office uses. The EmpCom classification focuses on office uses,
however; the EmpCom allows retail uses.

5. Employment Land Need
As previously noted the primary function of the BLI is to assist in the identification of buildable
land needs during a 20-year planning period. The BLI does not determine the City’s quantitative
need for employment land, it only identifies the City’s current employment land inventory. The
determination of the City’s need for employment land is the function of the Economic Element.
As noted earlier the BLI is a living document that changes as changes occur in employment
development activity and policy.
6. DEFINITIONS and METHODOLOGY
To maintain consistency in the maintenance of the BLI the definitions and methodology
used in preparing the Employment BLI are presented in Appendix “A” – Definitions and
Appendix “B” – Methodology.

APPENDIX “A” – Definitions
The 2019 BLI was last updated December 30, 2018. The following definitions are used in preparing and
maintain the residential BLI.
(1) “Buildable Land, Employment” means Employment 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 employment uses (OAR 660-009-0005(1)). 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.
(2) “Redevelopment Land, Employment” means non-vacant land that is likely to be redeveloped during
the planning period. For purposes of this BLI the term Employment Redevelopment Land is employment
land that has a Land (L) to Improvement (I) ratio of less than 1 and is occupied by a single-family
detached residence. The L:I Ratio is 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.
(3) “Development Constraints” means factors that temporarily or permanently limit or prevent the use
of land for economic development. Development constraints include, but are not limited to, wetlands,
environmentally sensitive areas such as habitat, environmental contamination, slope, topography, cultural
and archeological resources, infrastructure deficiencies, parcel fragmentation, or natural hazard areas
(OAR 660-009-0005)(2).
(4) “Industrial Use” means employment activities generating income from the production, handling or
distribution of goods. Industrial uses include, but are not limited to: manufacturing; assembly; fabrication;
processing; storage; logistics; warehousing; importation; distribution and transshipment; and research and
development. Industrial uses may have unique land, infrastructure, energy, and transportation
requirements. Industrial uses may have external impacts on surrounding uses and may cluster in
traditional or new industrial areas where they are segregated from other non-industrial activities (OAR
660-009-0005(3).
(5) “Other Employment Use” means all non-industrial employment activities including the widest range
of retail, wholesale, service, non-profit, business headquarters, administrative and governmental
employment activities that are accommodated in retail, office and flexible building types. Other
employment uses also include employment activities of an entity or organization that serves the medical,
educational, social service, recreation and security needs of the community typically in large buildings or
multi-building campuses (OAR-009-0005)(6).
(5) "Planning Area" means 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
7.A.b
Packet Pg. 30 Attachment: Employment BLI (Final) (1162 : Employment Buildable Lands Inventory)
2019 – 2039 Employment BLI
Page 15 of 18
respective plans as specified in the urban growth management agreement for the affected area (OAR 660-
009-0005(7).
(6) “Prime Industrial Land” means land suited for traded-sector industries as well as other industrial
uses providing support to traded-sector industries. Prime industrial lands possess site characteristics that
are difficult or impossible to replicate in the planning area or region. Prime industrial lands have
necessary access to transportation and freight infrastructure, including, but not limited to, rail, marine
ports and airports, multimodal freight or transshipment facilities, and major transportation routes. Traded-
sector has the meaning provided in ORS 285B.280 (OAR 660-009-0005)(8).
(7) “Serviceable” means the city has determined that public facilities and transportation facilities, as
defined by OAR 660, divisions 011 and 012, currently have adequate capacity for development planned
in the service area where the site is located or can be upgraded to have adequate capacity within the 20-
year planning period (OAR 660-009-0005)(9).
(8) “Short-term Supply of Land” means suitable land that is ready for construction within one year of
an application for a building permit or request for service extension. Engineering feasibility is sufficient
to qualify land for the short-term supply of land. Funding availability is not required. “Competitive Short-
term Supply” means the short-term supply of land provides a range of site sizes and locations to
accommodate the market needs of a variety of industrial and other employment uses (OAR 660-009-
0005)(10).
(9) ”Site Characteristics” means the attributes of a site necessary for a particular industrial or other
employment use to operate. Site characteristics include, but are not limited to, a minimum acreage or site
configuration including shape and topography, visibility, specific types or levels of public facilities,
services or energy infrastructure, or proximity to a particular transportation or freight facility such as rail,
marine ports and airports, multimodal freight or transshipment facilities, and major transportation routes
(OAR 660-009-0005)(11).
(10) ”Suitable” means serviceable land designated for industrial or other employment use that provides,
or can be expected to provide the appropriate site characteristics for the proposed use (OAR 660-009-
0005)(12).
(11) “Total Land Supply” means the supply of land estimated to be adequate to accommodate industrial
and other employment uses for a 20-year planning period. Total land supply includes the short-term
supply of land as well as the remaining supply of lands considered suitable and serviceable for the
industrial or other employment uses identified in a comprehensive plan. Total land supply includes both
vacant and developed land (OAR 660-009-0005)(14).
(12) “Vacant Land, Employment” means an employment designated lot or parcel 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.
(13) Net Buildable Acre, Employment: Consists of 43,560 square feet of employment designated
buildable land, after excluding present and future rights-of-way for streets and roads (OAR 660-024-
0010(6)).

APPENDIX “B” - Methodology for Calculation of Employment 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 Employment BLI.
Step 4. Net Buildable Acres, Employment. The methodology for calculating Buildable
Employment Land involves the following steps:
Step 4a. Employment Vacant Acres. The BLI identifies all tax lots by their land use
designation, zoning, development status, improvement and land value, and development
constraints. When the improvement value of a property is zero the property is defined as
Employment Vacant Land. The BLI sums the acreage for all Employment Vacant Land
by land use and zoning for the City Limits and the UGB.
Step 4b. Constrained Acres. The BLI includes information on the amount of
constrained acreage for all lots or parcels. The BLI sums the constrained acreage for all
employment designated properties, by land use and zoning and subtracts from Total
Vacant Acres (Step 4a).
Step 4c. Gross Buildable Vacant Employment Acres. Using the sum of the totals
generated from Steps 4a and 4b the BLI calculates the Gross Buildable Vacant
Employment land by land use and zoning for the City Limits and the UGB.
Step 4d. Public Facility Acres. The Gross Buildable Vacant Acreage figure (Step 4c) is
reduced by 25% to account for public right-of-way to yield Net Buildable Vacant
Acreage.
Step 4e. Employment Redevelopment Acres. The BLI identifies all employment
designated tax lots for their redevelopment potential. Employment designated properties
in excess of with a Land (L) to Improvement (I) ratio in less than 1 are defined and have

2019 – 2039 Employment BLI
Page 18 of 18
a single-family detached dwelling on-site are considered to be redevelopable during the
20-year planning period.
Step 4f. Total Net Buildable Employment Acres. The Employment Redevelopment
Acres (Step 4e) are added to the Net Buildable Vacant Acres (Step 4e) to yield Total Net
Buildable Acres for the City’s employment lands.

ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
FROM: Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner
MEETING DATE: June 27, 2019
SUBJECT: First Reading - Ordinance Updating and Adopting the Central Point
Comprehensive Plan Economic Element (2019-2039).
ACTION REQUIRED:
Public Hearing
Ordinance 1st Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On June 4, 2019, the Planning Commission considered an update to the Economic Element of
the Central Point Comprehensive Plan, and conducted a duly noticed public hearing. No public
testimony was received during the public hearing and the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to forward a favorable recommendation to the City Council to approve the Economic
Element.
Economic Element Overview:
The Economic Element provides a forecast of employment growth opportunities over a 20-year
planning period (2019-2039) and identifies the associated employment land needs in accordance
with Statewide Planning Goal 9 (Attachment “A”). The last update to the Economic Element
occurred in 2013 and resulted in expansion of the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to add
49 acres of industrial land in the Tolo Area. The current update has been initiated in response to
interest in expanding the UGB for commercial land and accounts for changes to the City’s
forecast population, availability of buildable lands, and economic trends for the nation, state,
region and city.
The Economic Element concludes that the City is poised to experience growth across all
employment categories over the next 20-years and is especially well suited to accommodate
growth in specialty foods, trucking and transportation, healthcare and retail services. At this time,
the City has a surplus of industrial acreage but has a need for additional land to accommodate
growth in commercial and institutional land use categories as follows:

Commercial/Service 21 27 7
Institutional/Government 18 23 6
Other/Uncovered Employment 34 43 11
Total Employment 74 93 23
The goals and policies reflect the City’s need to maintain a proactive and collaborative approach
to economic development, providing an adequate and suitable land supply, and encouraging
small businesses and business innovation. Additionally the Economic Element addresses an
increased emphasis on providing land supply and opportunity for pedestrian oriented
neighborhood commercial centers consistent with policies in the Regional Plan and Land Use
Elements.
At the June 27, 2019 City Council meeting staff will present an overview of the Economic
Element methodology and key findings (Attachment “A”).
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
The Economic Element evaluates the City’s opportunities for economic growth over the next 20-
years and does not generate additional cost to the City beyond the in-kind staff expenses,
postage and legal notification costs included budgeted for Community Development.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
Text amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are considered “Major Amendments” per CPMC
17.96.300 and are subject to Type IV Legislative application procedures per CPMC 17.05.500.
Per these regulations, two duly noticed public hearings are required including one conducted by
the Planning Commission (6/4/2019) and one by the City Council (6/27/2019). The public hearing
and first reading are consistent with the procedural requirements of the Central Point Municipal
Code.
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 2019-3029
Economic Element update aligns with Council’s goal by evaluating changes to population,
buildable lands on employment needs over the next 20-years. This is a prerequisite to,
“Continually ensuring that planning and zoning review and regulations are consistent with
comprehensive plans and vision.” Additionally, the Economic Element update is necessary to
evaluate the need for adding employment land to the UGB in the CP-3 Urban Reserve Area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
After receiving the staff report, open the public hearing to receive public input regarding the 2019-
2039 Economic Element. Close the public hearing and 1) forward to a second reading; 2) forward
to a second reading with changes; or 3) deny the 2019-2039 Economic Element.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Forward the Ordinance Approving the Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
(2019-2039) to a Second Reading at the July 11, 2019 City Council Meeting.

Preface
Legal Requirements: Oregon law requires local municipalities to adopt an Economic Element as
a part of their Comprehensive Plans. OAR 660-009-0015. These Economic Elements help to
implement Oregon Statewide Planning Goal #9, which is “to provide adequate opportunities
throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and
prosperity of Oregon’s citizens.” That is, Goal #9 encourages local governments, like Central
Point, to achieve their economic development planning goals so as to benefit the state’s
residents.
Framework: Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 660, Division 9 calls for a four-step
approach to economic development planning:
1. Review national, state, regional, county, and local economic trends
2. Identify the types and number of sites needed to accommodate growth
3. Inventory the industrial lands, employment lands, and vacant lands
4. Assess the community’s potential for economic development
This Economic Element follows these steps: Section 1 reviews Central Point’s economic history,
Section 2 analyzes national economic trends, Section 3 reviews economic data concerning the
State of Oregon, Section 4 reviews both Southern Oregon and Central Point’s economy, Section
5 contains a Population and Employment Forecast, Section 6 analyzes land demand for Central
Point in both the short-term (5 years) and long-term (20 years), and Section 7 outlines the City’s
economic goals and policies that will guide the City of Central Point through the twenty-year
planning period (2019-2039).
This document will help guide the City of Central Point’s future growth and development,
correct problems, maximize potentials, and act as a guide for decision-making. For a more
complete analysis of Central Point’s planning needs, see the Comprehensive Plan (updated 1983)
and the corresponding Population, Housing, and Land Use Elements, as well as the Central Point
Employment Buildable Lands Inventory (2019-2039).1
This document should be read along with the Central Point Buildable Lands Inventory (2019)
and any subsequent inventory updates.

City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element 2019
Page 6
Introduction
Purpose: The purpose of this Economic Element is to determine the City of Central Point’s
economic goals, policies, and land use needs. It identifies economic development opportunities
and corresponding employment land needs for the next 20 years (2019-2039). It also provides a
realistic analysis of current economic trends and potential disruptions. Through this, Central
Point will be better able to reduce costs and delays, anticipate obstacles, and keep planning
activities aligned with the City’s policies.
Past Elements: The City of Central Point first began developing its Comprehensive Plan
in 1973.2 In 1980, the Rogue Valley Council of Governments prepared the City of Central
Point’s first Economic Element.3 That document was subsequently succeeded in 2013 by a
version prepared by CSA Associates.4 This Economic Element of 2018 supersedes the previous
versions and becomes part of Central Point’s Comprehensive Plan. It establishes the framework
for future economic growth and development and gives a long-range evaluation of the City’s
changing characteristics and needs.
Geographic Scope: This Economic Element is limited in scope to developments within the
Central Point city limits and the Urban Growth Boundary. Central Point is located near the
geographic center of Jackson County in southwestern Oregon, approximately midway between
Portland and San Francisco.5 The City has the advantage of being located directly on Interstate 5
(I-5), Highway 99 (U.S. Route 99), the Central Oregon Pacific Railway, and adjacent to the
Rogue Valley International Airport. Immediately to the south of Central Point is the City of
Medford, which is the seat of Jackson County and the largest city in Southern Oregon. This
provides Central Point residents with easy access to major shopping centers, employment, and
governmental activities.

Summary
This Economic Element includes an economic history of Central Point, it analyzes current
national, state, and regional economic trends, includes an employment forecast, and an inventory
of lands used for employment. The final section outlines the City’s economic goals and policies
that will guide the City through the twenty-year planning period (2019-2039).
The national economy is doing well, with GDP at a very healthy rate, unemployment down, and
inflation moderate. However, leading economists are warning that the U.S. economy will slow
and may even slide into a recession around the year 2020. Further, the economic health of the
country is increasingly threatened by the possibility of trade wars, growing income inequality,
and the costs of health care and education. As a result, the City of Central Point must be prepared
for economic fluctuations in both the short- and long-term, which could seriously impact its land
use planning forecasts.
The state economy is “hitting the sweet spot” and doing well compared to other states. GDP is
rising, employment has recovered from the Great Recession, and it has growing industries.
However, the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis projects that the state economy is at risk
from the U.S. economy’s volatility, retaliatory tariffs from Canada and China, a prolonged
affordable housing crisis, as well as the impact of forest fires and smoke. While the economy
may remain strong, the City should brace itself for a slowdown like the 1990s recession.
The Southern Oregon region is doing even better than the state economy. Although the region
was hit hard by the Great Recession, and recovery has been difficult, the GDP is growing faster
than the national rate and USA Today has ranked both Jackson and Josephine counties as the 28th
and 18th best local economies in the nation respectively. Nevertheless, the area still has high
unemployment rates and is suffering from a lack of affordable housing for middle class workers.
Central Point has a high population growth rate and is expected to grow to approximately 26,000
people by 2039. This means that Central Point will surpass the City of Ashland’s population and
capture almost 7 percent of the new jobs in the region over the next 20 years. The gains will be
concentrated in service, health care, construction, professional, and the business industries. Its
target industries include specialty foods, trucking and warehousing, and retail. According to the
population and job capture rate, Central Point will need approximately 13 acres of new
employment lands in the next 5 years and anywhere from 65 to 73 new acres by 2039.
Ultimately, future economic conditions cannot be accurately predicted. However, strategically
planning the City of Central Point’s land base for the long-term has the potential to benefit
economic development in the City and the surrounding area. This includes preparing to
accommodate future needs and integrating the City’s land use planning efforts within a broader
economic development strategy.
Central Point’s last Economic Element was created in 2013. Because it relied on data from the
2010 census, and because there will be little new data before the 2020 census, much of this
Economic Element is similar or identical to that of the last element. Furthermore, many of the
conclusions in that element remain valid and are adopted.

Section 1: Central Point’s Economic History.
Central Point’s economic history has centered on trade, resource-based industries such as forest
products and agriculture, and minor retail for its residential areas.
Incorporated by the State Legislature in 1889, Central Point was so named because of its location
at the center of the inhabited parts of the Rogue Valley.6 Before then, Jacksonville had served as
the region’s economic center. However, when the railroad was built, Jacksonville was bypassed,
and the tracks were built through what is now Central Point.
Central Point’s railroad station was the closest point to reach Crater Lake from the South. All the
county roads leading from Ashland, Jacksonville, and Medford passed through Central Point,
making it a prime area for shipping and trading.7
Central Point is located near some of Jackson County’s most fertile soils and was well located to
serve the surrounding farmers. Indeed, this remained the foundation of the City’s economy well
into the 1960s. Central Point’s location allowed it to act as a trading location for the farming
community, a location for schools, and as a well-placed area for shops and services. The City
housed the Grange Co-op’s grain elevator and various farm repair shops and equipment retail.
Between the 1960s and 1970s, the City of Central Point rapidly expanded its residential
development. Because there was no corresponding development of commercial and industrial
industries, Central Point became a residential community largely inhabited by people who
commuted to nearby cities for work. During this period the forest products industry grew, and
residents of Central Point were able to find employment at the mills in Medford and White City.
In 1980, the City of Central Point adopted its first Economic Element that has herewith been
replaced by this Economic Element. The U.S. economy has undergone several economic cycles
since then. The 1980 Economic Element sought to diversify the City’s economy and reduce the
degree of imbalance between employment and housing within the City. Central Point has been
successful to some extent over the last thirty years in its efforts to diversify its economy. The
City has experienced retail and industrial growth in and around Exit 33 on Interstate 5.
Providence Hospital recently added a medical facility on Highway 99 south of Pine Street. A
small specialty foods cluster has developed along Highway 99 north of Pine Street that includes
Rogue Creamery, Lillie Belle Farms chocolates and a wine tasting room. The Rogue Valley
Council of Governments has its main office building near downtown Central Point. A new
Costco Wholesale store opened off of Table Rock Road in 2017. Further, newer retail exists near
freeway interchanges and along Pine Street and Highway 99. These employers and others have
served (and an overarching objective of this Economic Element is) to continue to add more
balance and diversity to the City’s employment base.

Section 2: National Economic Trends
Purpose It is important to review current trends in the U.S. economy. The national
economy provides the necessary context for the adoption of updated economic development
policies and strategies in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. By engaging with governmental
projections and economic forecasts, the City will be better able to position itself for long-term
success. This review of national trends will help inform the Economic element by providing a
foundation to describe the City’s economic advantages and disadvantages.
National Economic Trends The U.S. economy is booming. However, “potential danger lurks
around the corner.”8 Over the last decade, the national economy has largely recovered from the
Great Recession: unemployment is the lowest it has been in half a century, inflation is moderate,
people appear confident in the economy, and the International Monetary Fund has projected a
short-term growth of just under 3 percent.9
However, the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis warns that there are signs of a potential
economic slowdown around 2020. Economic crosscurrents threaten economic stability, including
the potential for global trade wars, increasing costs of health care, and the increasing burdens of
higher education on younger generations. This indicates the likelihood of strong short-term
growth for the United States but relative weakness in the medium and long term.10 While there
will likely be a downturn in the economy, it will probably be less severe than the Great
Recession.11 Because there is no obvious asset or investment bubble today (unlike the subprime
mortgages of 2008), if a recession occurs it will probably be similar to the recession of 1990.12
Measuring the National Economy
There are many ways to analyze the national economy, such as the GDP, unemployment rate,
and inflation rates. Each of these helps to describe how well the economy is doing and may
indicate how healthy the economy will be in the future.
i. Gross Domestic Product
What is Gross Domestic Product? Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) is a measurement of how
many goods and services the United States produces.13 Because it measures production, it is one
of the primary indicators used by economists to determine the health of the economy.14 The ideal

GDP growth rate is between 2-3 percent.15 If GDP grows too slowly it could indicate some
economic unhealthiness; if it grows too fast it could mean that there is an asset bubble and that
the economy is overheating.
Past Trends Since Central Point published its first economic element in 1980, the national
GDP has had its ups and downs. The Recession of the early 1980s was followed by an economic
boom that lasted until 1990. The short Recession of 1990 was followed by a decade of economic
prosperity. Although there was a modest downturn in 2000-2001, that was replaced with
continuing economic expansion through 2006. Then came the Great Recession, the worst period
since World War II from a GDP perspective. In five out of six quarters from the end of 2007 to
the beginning of 2009 the GDP actually went negative. After a decade of recovery, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics anticipates that the economy will fully recover by 2020.16
Recent Growth Currently, the U.S. GDP is increasing at a good rate. See Figure 1.
Although there has not been explosive growth,17 the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis has
characterized the US economy as “entering into its boom phase of the business cycle.”18
The last two quarters mark the strongest back-to-back quarters of U.S. economic growth since
2014.19 According to the Department of Commerce, the national GDP grew at a rate of 3.5
percent in the third quarter of 2018.20 While this was stronger than expected, this was down from
4.2 percent expansion in the previous quarter.21 Economists have explained that this was due to
strong consumer spending,22 a drop in unemployment,23 and the results of the recent tax cuts,
including business investment, the restocking of inventories,24 and excessive borrowing by the
Federal Government.25

Figure 1: Percent Change in Quarterly GDP
Short-Term Projections The U.S. GDP is currently on a “hot streak”26 and will probably
maintain 2.5-3 percent growth through 2019. However, it is difficult to predict future growth
beyond that. In fact, forecasts by national economists for short-term growth are conflicted. While
some predict multiple years of 3 percent growth,27 the International Monetary Fund has projected
a short-term growth of under 3 percent for 2018 and 2.5 percent for 2019.28 The Federal Reserve
has a similar opinion, projecting that the GDP rate will decrease to 2.5% in 2019, 2% in 2020,
and 1.8% in 2021.29 This, coupled with the threat of a major trade war with China, have led to
fears of an economic slowdown sometime around 2020. In fact, Moody's Analytics chief
economist Mark Zandi has said, “By mid-2020, we will be most vulnerable to the next
recession.”30
Long-Term Projections It is even more difficult to project how the national GDP will fare
over the next two decades. Josh Lehner of the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis has said,
“trying to forecast a period of prolonged weakness, or even a possible recession two years in
advance is a fool’s errand . . . . There’s just too much time, too many potential variables . . . to
alter the course that far in the future.”31
Here, there are too many variables that can change. However, some things will occur with near-
certainty. First, over the next two decades the economy will evolve. Some industries will
diminish, some will expand, while still others will be created. Second, there will be some good
years and some not-so good years. That is, things will not always be as good as they are now.
Third, on average, there will probably be more years of healthy GDP growth than not.

Conclusion Central Point must accept the reality of long-term GDP fluctuations when
engaging in planning and decision-making. City leaders should not adopt the view that because
things are good now that they will always be good. Instead, Central Point should have long-term
plans that accept the fundamentals of the free market.
ii. Employment
What is Unemployment? Unemployment measures how many people in the country do not
have jobs. Unemployment occurs when a person who is actively searching for a job is unable to
find work.32 Like GDP, it is one of the main indicators of an economy’s health. Of particular
importance to economists is the “unemployment rate,” which is calculated by taking the number
of unemployed people and dividing by the number of people employed.33 Unlike GDP, the
unemployment rate usually rises or falls after changing economic conditions, rather than
anticipating an economic event.34 Even a healthy economy will have a certain number of people
unemployed: some will be between jobs and others will have been displaced by an evolving
economy.
Past Trends The United States has never had zero percent unemployment. The lowest rate ever
recorded was 2.5 percent in mid-1953. It occurred because “the economy overheated during the
Korean War. When this bubble burst, it kicked off the recession of 1953.”35 Since Central Point
published its first Economic Element, the U.S. unemployment rate has fluctuated in line with the
economic booms and busts. The highest rates were 10.8 percent in 1982 and 10 percent at the
height of the Great Recession in December 2009. In turn, the lowest rates were 3.8 percent in
April 2000, and 4.4 percent in 2006 and 2007.
Recent Trends Currently, the U.S. unemployment rate has fallen to 3.7 percent, the lowest
in nearly half a century.36 Figure 2 depicts the rapid increase in unemployment during the Great
Recession and the slow recovery over the last decade. Unemployment has been declining and has
finally fallen below pre-Recession levels. The Bureau of Labor Statistics assumes that the
economy will fully recover from the Great Recession by 2020 and that the labor force will return
to a full unemployment rate of 4 to 5 percent.37

Figure 3 depicts the strong relationship between unemployment and educational attainment.
Those without a high school diploma have experienced unemployment rates that are almost
double that of individuals with a college education. However, the rate of unemployment has been
declining at a much faster pace over the last several years for those without a high school
diploma than those with a college education. Overall, unemployment levels are good when
measured on a national scale.

Short-Term Projections The current unemployment rate is unsustainable.38 Both Moody’s

temporarily stabilize the unemployment rate or the economy will slow too much, potentially
destabilizing the employment rate, causing it to increase.40 The Federal Reserve estimates that
the normal unemployment rate (absent shocks to the economy) will rise back up to between 4-5
percent over the next five to six years.41 While it is unclear whether unemployment will hold
steady for a while longer or if it will begin rising again as soon as 2020, it is highly probable that
unemployment will be going back up.
Long-Term Projections Like forecasting GDP rates decades in advance, it is also difficult
to project unemployment rates for the next two decades. However, it should be noted that the
average unemployment rate for the U.S. between 1948 and 2018 was 5.77 percent, with a high of
10.8 percent and a record low of 2.5 percent. As a result, the average unemployment rate will
probably stay in these bounds, close to the average.42
Conclusion The unemployment rate is currently very low and will be going back up. A
possible slowdown or recession around 2020 could either stabilize the rate or cause it to rise
sharply. Ultimately, unemployment will probably stay around 3 percent for the next couple years
and average 5 percent over the next two decades.
iii. Inflation
What is inflation? Inflation is the measure of how much the price of goods and services
increases over time.43 It means that things cost more and more instead of staying the same price.
For example, if a gallon of milk has an inflation rate of 2 percent per year, then the price of milk
will be 2 percent higher next year. Importantly, inflation is not primarily caused by the Federal
Government printing too much money. Instead, inflation usually rises because buyers want
products so much that they are willing to pay higher prices.
If workers’ wages do not keep pace with inflation, people have less buying power. The opposite
of inflation is deflation, which is when things cost less than they did before. It is important to
measure inflation because it shows if on average people are prospering or suffering under the
current economy.
Measuring Inflation There are different ways to measure inflation, but the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics uses the Consumer Price Index.44 In the United States, the Federal Reserve aims
for a target annual inflation rate of 2 percent.45
Past trends Figure 4 shows how inflation has occurred over the last seven decades. When
Central Point first began developing its Comprehensive Plan, the United States was undergoing a

period of massive inflation. Inflation was over 7 percent in the 1970s and almost 6 percent in the
1980s. Since then, inflation has dropped to the 3 percent range in the 1990s and under 2 percent
in the pre-Great Recession years. In 2009, inflation averaged -0.34 percent. However, inflation
has been steadily climbing back up and, in the twelve months leading up to September 2018, the
Consumer Price Index increased 2.3 percent.
Figure 4: 1949-2018 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
Short-Term Projections At the moment, inflation is relatively benign.46 The price of food
goods is remaining steady while the cost of vehicles has fallen sharply.47 Increases in the
Consumer Price Index have been tied to increasing rental prices and the cost of home
ownership.48 However, the Federal Reserve projects greater than 2 percent inflation over the next
couple of years. See Figure 5, which shows the recent history of the Consumer Price Index.

Long-Term Projections Although the current inflation rate is 2.28 percent, this is well
below the 3.76 average since the end of WWII.49 As a result, in the long term, inflation will
probably be moving back up to better approach the average rate.
Conclusion In the long run, inflation will probably be increasing to better align with the
averages of the last century. Unless wages also increase to meet inflation, it will become harder
for individuals to purchase things.
National Economic Crosscurrents:
Primary Risks to the U.S. Economy The national economy appears healthy: GDP has a good
growth forecast, unemployment is the lowest it has been in half a century, inflation is moderate,
and people appear confident in the economy. In addition to analyzing the traditional
measurements of economic success, it is also important to consider strategic threats to the
economy that have not yet sufficiently impacted the economic data.
There are several things that put the economy at risk in both the short and long-term: trade wars,
increasing income inequality, and the costs of health care and education.
i. Trade Wars
First among the dangers to the national economy is the simmering trade war. Although there has
been little impact so far, the possibility of escalation could severely harm the national economy.
Already, the US soy industry could be on the verge of collapse, with sales down 94 percent to
China because of the retaliatory tariffs.50 Because soybeans are usually routed through the
Pacific Northwest on their way to Asia, this could harm Oregon’s economy.51
Many other industries are also threatened, with duties on steel and aluminum costing U.S.
companies about half a billion dollars in September 2018 alone.52 An escalation in the trade wars
(either by including more countries or a wider range of goods) would harm U.S. industries,
transportation companies, and consumers across the board.53 It would also lead to an increase in
prices and inflation, requiring the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates.

ii. Income Inequality
Income inequality is a system-level issue for the United States economy.54 Over the last 20 years,
the top 10 percent of income earners have received a nearly 200 percent increase in their overall
median net worth, while the bottom 40 percent of earners have seen an actual decline in their net
worth.55 This economic upheaval will have a major impact on government spending; an aging
population that has less of an ability to support itself will require more help from entitlement and
social programs. In the long term, it has the potential to negatively impact institutional investors’
portfolios; increase financial and social system-level instability; damage output and slow
economic growth; increase the Federal Deficit; and contribute to the tendencies toward
protectionism and tariffs.56
iii. Cost of Health Care
The cost of health care for the American consumer is increasing. Since the City of Central Point
first began developing its Comprehensive Plan, the U.S. has gone from spending 7.2 percent of
its GDP on health care to almost 18 percent today.57 See Figure 6. While total inflation is
averaging around 2.3 percent, healthcare has increased 3.7 percent. What is more, the price of
health care is rising faster than normal prices and companies are having to spend more on health
insurance premiums.58 As a result, employees are taking less money home with them.

iv. Cost of Education
The burden of student debt is likely to keep growing, which will dramatically inhibit the ability
of younger generations to accumulate wealth.59 Outstanding student loans are already
approaching $1.2 trillion.60 While inflation is around 2.3 percent, and health care costs are rising
at 3.7 percent, education expenses are rising at an incredible rate of 5.2 percent.61 In fact, if
education inflation continues at this rate, the cost of tuition and fees for a four-year public
university by 2028 will be between $65,590 for in-state public schools and $224,124 for private
colleges.62
Many parents are burdened with saving large amounts of money to pay for their children’s
college education. Further, many young adults are already burdened with enormous student loan
debts. Because parents and/or college graduates will need to spend enormous sums on tuition,
and wages are not rising to meet this increase, people will either be prevented from getting a
higher education or will be stuck paying off loans for a much longer period. In either case, that is
bad news for the economy.

Section 3: State Economic Trends
Oregon’s economy is “hitting the sweet spot” and doing better than most other states.63 Wages
and household incomes are rising, and workers are coming back into the labor market.64 Further,
because state revenues are higher than forecasted, Oregon taxpayers should expect to receive a
bonus “kicker” on their income tax returns in 2019.65
While the state economy is doing well, it is also acting more volatile than the national
economy.66 Josh Lehner, senior economist at the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis, is
concerned that while the economy is still growing, the pace of that growth is slowing down.
Further, “We expect that pattern to continue—that growth tomorrow will be slower than growth
today.”67
Panelists at the 15th Annual Oregon Economic Forum indicated that economic trouble for the
state is likely still a few years away.68 Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private
Bank has interpreted the data as suggesting that the state economy is one or two years away from
a recession.69 However, both McCain and Oregon Economic Forum director Tim Duy noted that
a future recession may not be as bad as the Great Recession.70
Neighboring States
Oregon is geographically well situated because its neighboring states to the north and south have
very strong economies.
Washington State’s GDP has grown 3 percent over the last five years, the largest increase in the
nation.71 It has the 14th largest GDP in the country at $439.4 billion in 2017.72 However, it also
ranked 47th in the US by unemployment rate, which was 4.7 percent in June 2018.73

have the fifth largest economy in the world.75 California’s GDP grew almost as much as
Washington’s at 2.9 percent over the last five years.76 Its GDP was eleven times that of
Oregon’s, at $2.4 trillion. While its unemployment rate is slightly above average at 4.2 percent, it
has had a five year annual employment growth of 2.2 percent, which is the eighth best in the
nation.77
Measuring the State Economy
Like the national economy, there are similar ways to analyze Oregon’s economy: GDP and
employment are important, as infomration specific to Oregon’s industries.
i. Gross Domestic Product
State GDP Like the national GDP, Oregon’s GDP is a measure of how much the state
produces in goods and services.
Past Trends Since Central Point’s first economic element in 1980, Oregon’s economy has
transitioned from being a resource-based economy (traditionally timber, fishing, and agriculture)
to being a more mixed manufacturing and marketing economy (with an emphasis on high
technology).78 At the same time, Oregon’s GDP has more than doubled, from $100.8 billion in
1997 to $212.6 billion in 2017. See Figure 7 for Oregon’s GDP increase.

Recent growth In the the last five years, Oregon’s has had slightly above average
economic growth in comparison to other states: its GDP has grown 1.7 percent, the 16th largest
increase in the country, ranking it 24th in the nation.79
Short-term projection Although there is the possibility that the state economy will
continue booming, it is more likely that the state will experience a mild recession around 2020.
See Figure 8 for three likely scenarios for the state economy. The Oregon Economic and
Revenue Forecast of September 2018 anticipates that under the mild recession scenario, the
economy will contract by -1.8 percent in 2020 and -0.6 percent in 2021.80 Absent a recession, the
state’s Real Gross State Product is projected to be the seventh fastest among all states across the
country in terms of growth with gains averaging 2.5 percent through 2023.81
Figure 8: Short-Term Economic Scenarios for Oregon82
Long-term projection Even if there is a recession in the coming years, the economy
should recover and continue to do well into the long-term.
Conclusion Like the national economy, the state economy should remain healthy over the
next year. However, there is a strong potential that a national recession will spill over into
Oregon, damaging the state economy and harming Oregon residents.
ii. Employment
Overview Oregon has more than two million people in its labor force.83 Through 2023, the
state economy’s total employment is expected to be the eighth strongest among all the states at a
rate of 1.3 percent.84
Past Trends Nearly every state industry was affected by the Great Recession but by May 2016,
Oregon had more jobs than it had when the recession began.85 See Figure 9, which shows how

the state unemployment rate has changed depending on the national economic environment.
Figure 9: Oregon’s Unemployment Rate
Recent trends Currently, Oregon’s unemployment number is under what is historically
considered full employment for the state.86 However, for the last three years, the unemployment
rate has been extremely volatile; a few months of extreme declines have been followed by
months of huge increases.87 However, over the last year the Oregon unemployment rate has
stopped declining.88 Currently, it is hovering around 4 percent.
Short-term projections The Oregon Office of Economic Analysis projects that the Oregon
unemployment rate will remain steady for the near future because this job growth rate now
matches population and labor force gains.89 However, if there is a severe recession in the near-
future, unemployment may spike up to 10 percent.90
Long-term projections The Oregon Office of Economic Analysis projects a “slightly
stronger economic outlook” in 2025 and beyond.91 Compared to the rest of the country, Oregon’s
employment numbers should fare well. Total employment could be the eighth strongest in the
nation at 1.3 percent, while manufacturing employment could be the seventh fastest in the
country at 1.1 percent.92
Conclusion Based on the economic reports created by the oregon Office of Economic
Analysis, the Oregon unemployment rate should remain steady for the near future. However,
depending on the strength of the anticipated 2020 slowdown, this could change dramatically. If
Oregon’s economy is lucky enough to avoid being harmed by the national economy, the
unemployment rate should continue to decrease to near-record levels.

iii. Industry Strengths
Another way to understand the state economy is to see how the state’s population is employed.
Figure 10 list the most common jobs in Oregon, as well as the normal wages. Location Quotient
(“LQ”) shows the relative strength of that occupation in Oregon’s economy. For example, if an
LQ is greater than one it indicates that the concentration is greater in Oregon than the national
average. If it is less than one, it indicates that Oregon has a lower concentration than on average.

The state agency Business Oregon lists six target industries for the state economy: Forestry &
Wood Products, Advanced Manufacturing, High Technology, Food & Beverage Services,
Business Services, and Outdoor Gear & Apparel.94
Oregon continues to be a leader in forestry and agriculture. While the Oregon economy is much
more diverse than it was thirty years ago, forestry and agriculture still exhibit employment that is
concentrated at many times the national average. However, the timber industry is under pressure
from both the market and federal regulations, and so is projected to grow slowly.95
Oregon’s manufacturing industry is weighted towards semiconductors and wood products
relative to the nation, which mostly concentrates on autos and aerospace.96 Although
semiconductors and wood products have been historically strong, they are expected to grow
more slowly in the future.97 The state’s primary metal manufacturing is concentrated as a result
of the continued operation of Oregon’s aluminum industry.
The computer and electronic product manufacturing industries are strong due to the presence of
Intel and Tektronix in the Portland area. Non-store retailers like Harry & David contribute to the
strength in that industry sector. Beverage manufacturing comes from the growing wine and craft
beer industries in Oregon.
Professional and Technical Services is a fast-growing, emerging industry in Oregon.98 It includes
businesses who are using their expertise to help businesses around the world to grow.99
Management and technical consulting is the largest industry in this group, followed by
engineering services and advertising, public relations, and related services.100 For example,
CH2M was founded in Corvallis and now employs over 26,000 employees worldwide.101
While Oregon is not known as a home for Fortune 500 companies, it does have Nike, a world-
leader in shoes and athletic apparel. The City of Portland is also the home of Columbia
Sportswear, which specializes in the target industry of Outdoor Gear & Apparel.
The Office of Economic Analysis has ranked eleven industries as doing exceptionally well.
Private sector food manufacturing, education, and health care have never suffered strong losses
from a recession.102 Further, retail employment, wholesale, transportation, warehousing and
utilities, and construction have surpassed their pre-recession levels and are at all time highs.103

State Economic Crosscurrents:
Primary Risks to Oregon’s Economy The state economy appears healthy: GDP is good,
unemployment is low, and Oregon’s industries are strong and growing. However, the state
economy is at risk: the national economy could experience a small recession that could drag
down the state economy, trade wars threaten the state’s economic vitality, there is a housing
crisis, and wildfires and smoke are harming the tourism industry.
i. The National Economy
Because of the potential for an economic slowdown around 2020, it is important to analyze the
impacts that the last national recessions had on the Oregon economy. In fact, Josh Lehner of the
Oregon Office of Economic Analysis forecasts that a future recession would be like the 1990s
recession,104 so it is important to review how that particular economic event effected the state
economy.
The 1990s recession was relatively mild on the national economy.105 In the 1990s, Oregon “lost
just as many jobs as the US did.”106 However, many consumer service sectors and industries
actually outperformed the US economy.107 This included manufacturing, construction, services,
and retail. Nevertheless, the data indicates that there were big manufacturing job losses, with less
losses in the service sectors. 108 As a result, if there is a recession around 2020 and it appears to
be similar to the 1990s recession, Oregon should brace itself for losses in the manufacturing
industry, but for the industry to be able to hunker down and withstand a short economic storm.
ii. Trade Wars
Oregon is particularly susceptible to harm from a trade war because Oregon trades more with
foreign nations than most other states.109 As a result, should China and Canada retaliate against
US trade tariffs, Oregon’s economy could be dealt a particularly strong blow.110 According to
economist Josh Lehner of the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis, the impact of tariffs from
China and Canada to Oregon’s economy could be about $870 million.111 It has the potential to
impact the state’s agriculture industry, aluminum scrap exporters, various consumer goods, and
distillery companies.112 If there is continued escalation and if global supply chains are disrupted,
“it will be a much bigger economic problem.”113

iii. Housing Affordability
Oregon is in a housing crisis. Since Central Point adopted its first Economic Element in 1980,
housing prices in Oregon have risen by 315%, making it 4th in the nation for housing price
increases.114 A major issue is that Oregon is not building enough housing units to keep pace with
the population increase. According to the Oregon Home Builders Association Oregon needs
25,000 new units every year, but only 15,000 are being constructed.115
Low housing supply has led to rising rental costs and home prices. This, plus a very low rental
vacancy rate, have contributed to an affordable housing crisis across the state.116 According to
the National Low Income Housing Coalition, Oregon is the 3rd most unaffordable rental market
in the nation.117 Further, according to the Oregon Housing and Community Services Director
Margaret Van Vliet, the state has 130,000 extremely low-income households but only 20,000
housing units are affordable for those households.118
This crisis is straining the state economy because housing is a necessary expenditure. If 55
percent of renters in Oregon must pay more than 30 percent of their income to housing,119 then
Oregon consumers will have less purchasing power. Further, if there is not enough housing,
Oregon will have fewer workers and will be less able to entice target industries to relocate.
iv. Wildfires and Smoke
Wildfires and smoke have been negatively impacting the Oregon economy.120 The last two years
have had record levels of unhealthy air. According to the Oregon Department of Forestry’s 2018
fire statistics 70,685 of the acres that it protects burned as of September 2018, which is 53
percent higher than the 10-year average.
A wildfire impact study released by Travel Oregon in July 2018 found that the state lost $51.5
million in visitor spending due to the 2017 wildfires.121 According to the study, Josephine
County lost $680,000 and Jackson County lost $2.8 million in spending because of the fires.
Those losses were mostly in the food service and accommodation industries.122 The smoke also
cost the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland about $2 million as a result of cancelling
outdoor performances.123

Section 4: Economic Trends in Southern Oregon
Overview Central Point is located in Jackson County and near Josephine County. Both
counties effect Central Point’s economy and are often treated as a single region for economic
data.
Jackson County124 It has a population of 219,270 people as of May 2018,125 which accounts
for approximately 5 percent of Oregon’s population.126 Between 2000 and 2010, it experienced a
1.1 percent increase in population127 and a 5.26 percent increase in median household income,
from $44,028 to $46,343.128 Its median age is 42.9.
Southern Oregon The Office of Economic Analysis has stated that Southern Oregon was hit
hard by the Great Recession and that the recovery has been more difficult than other parts of the
state.129 However, local job growth has returned, and poverty rates are falling. While Jackson
County has historic highs in wage growth and employment rates, Josephine County is still in a
bad position, having yet to regain its losses from the last recession.130
i. Gross Domestic Product
Jackson County had the 103rd fastest growth in GDP between 2016 and 2017 among the nation’s
384 metropolitan areas (2.6 percent).131 This is compared to the U.S. metropolitan areas growing
by an average of 2.1 percent during the same time frame.132 The U.S. Bureau of Economic
Analysis has projected that the county had a GDP of $8,590,000,000 for 2017.133
Industries in Jackson County that boosted GDP growth were education and health services;
professional and business services; trade; and transportation, warehousing, and utilities.134 See
Figure 11. Those industries that damaged GDP growth were other services and information.135

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis has projected that Josephine County had a GDP of
$2,478,000,000 for 2017.137 Incredibly, this ranked it 31st in the nation in terms of fastest growth
in GDP for 2017.138 During that time, the GDP grew at 4.3 percent.

Other industries that are strong are trade, education and health services (like in Jackson County),
and leisure and hospitality. See Figure 12. Professional and business services, information, and
other services reduced the GDP.
Conclusion Southern Oregon’s economy is growing at a good pace. Both Jackson and
Josephine County are well ranked nationally in terms of the rate of economic growth. However,
they both have a long way to go to recover from the losses they suffered in the Great Recession.
ii. Employment
Recent Trends Southern Oregon was recently ranked in the top 30 job markets in the United
States based on job growth over the last five years.141 USA Today ranked the nearby City of
Medford as #28 in the nation, saying:
Medford is one of several rapidly growing cities in Oregon adding jobs at a faster pace
than almost anywhere else in the country. Due in large part to the metro area's education
and health services industry, there are over 13,000 more jobs in Medford today than there
were in 2013, a 15.4 percent increase.142
USA Today also said that Grants Pass had the largest drop in unemployment in the nation
between 2013 and 2018, ranking it as the 18th best job growth economy in the nation.143 Job
growth was driven by the education and health services industry, which added 1,700 out of the
5,000 new jobs.144

Despite this new growth, Jackson County’s unemployment rate is still higher than the national
average.145 In fact, both Jackson and Josephine County had the highest unemployment rates out
of all the cities in the USA Today’s list of best local economies.146 However, when compared to
other regions in Oregon, Jackson County has one of the lowest unemployment rates at 4.4
percent.147 See Figure 13. Neighboring Josephine County is at 5.5 percent while Klamath
County is at 5.8 percent.148
Conclusion The Southern Oregon economy is growing at a very good rate. While it still needs
to catch up to the rest of the nation,149 if it is able to avoid being harmed too much by the next
economic slowdown, it should be able to make up its past losses.
iii. Housing
Overview For the last few years the local housing market has been booming. However, it
now appears to be slowing down. This is a major concern for the Southern Oregon economy
because it may inhibit construction of much-needed housing units and continue to drive up the
price of rent.
Recent trends Between 2000 and 2010, the total number of housing units in Jackson County
increased rapidly.150 Housing units increased by 20.1 percent, with 2,130 units in Central Point
alone (almost half of Medford’s growth of 5,000 units).151 In 2018 home prices in Jackson
County increased by an average of $12,000 in comparison to 2017, a slower rate than previous
years.152
Conclusion Southern Oregon is one of the last affordable housing areas in the West Coast.153
This could encourage Californians to relocate and contribute to the local economy.154 However,
new residents from wealthier states could encourage local builders to concentrate on constructing
expensive homes and not affordable housing. This could price out younger people, such as
Millennials, and portions of the working class from the region.

Section 5: The City of Central Point’s Trends
Introduction Central Point has unique economic and social trends when compared to the
Southern Oregon region. Its population is fast-growing, relatively young, and its workers
generally commute short distances to work.
Measuring the City’s Trends
i. Commuting Patterns
Introduction The Department of Land Conservation & Development (DLCD) recommends
analyzing commute patterns as one of the ways to determine land use needs.
Central Point exhibits a somewhat unique combination of commuting patterns. See Figure 14.
Typically, cities that have a low percentage of its residents working within the city also have
relatively high commute times. But that is not the case for Central Point, which has only 21
percent of its residence working outside the city. Those residents have much shorter commute
times when compared to both the national and state averages for workers commuting outside
their cities. This is probably because a large amount of Central Point residents work in north
Medford. In many cases this is only a few blocks from where they live. Many may also work in
White City, which can be accessed by roads with little congestion, such as Interstate 5 or Table
Rock Road.

ii. Local Population Forecast
Introduction In addition to reviewing commuting patterns and economic trends, it is also
important to review trends related to population growth. The DLCD recommends analyzing
population because it is one of the best means to determine Central Point’s future land
demand.157 While economic trends are subject to rapid changes without much warning,
population growth is much easier to predict.
This section contains a short analysis of population trends as of 2019. For a more comprehensive
analysis, see the Central Point Population & Demographics Element (2019-2039).
Past Trends Since Central Point published its first Economic Element, Jackson County’s total
population has grown from roughly 114,000 to 219,270 people.158 See Figure 15. The high
growth rates of the 1970s were a result of relative economic prosperity while the decline in the
1980s was a result of challenging economic conditions.159 During the 1990s, the county’s growth
rates increased again at first but then declined later in the decade. Jackson County’s total
population grew rapidly in the 2000s, with an average annual growth rate of just over 1 percent.

Figure 15: Jackson County―Total Population by Five-year Intervals (1975-2017)160
Central Point posted a growth rate higher than that of Jackson County, at 2.9 percent from 2000-
2010.161 That makes it the second fastest growing area in the Rogue Valley, just after Eagle
Point’s rate of 5.6 percent.162 Currently, Central Point has approximately 19,101 people,163
ranking behind Medford’s 82,566 people and just behind the City of Ashland’s 21,501 people.164
Reasons for Increase The county’s positive population growth has largely been the result of net
immigration.165 The aging population has led to an increase in deaths and local women have
postponed having children, which has resulted in birth stagnation. As a result, without
immigration, Southern Oregon would be experiencing a “natural decrease” in population.
Long-term projections Jackson County is likely to grow at a fast pace in the short-term.166
The Central Point Population & Demographics Element (2019-2039) forecasts that Jackson
County’s will grow from 219,270 people to 264,951 people by 2039.167 See Figure 16.

According to the Population Research Center at Portland State University, the City of Central
Point is expected to capture a much larger share of Jackson County’s future population than it
has in the past.168 Central Point is expected to have a short-term growth rate of 1.5 percent,169
and by 2039, Central Point will have 26,317 people, making it larger than the City of Ashland.170
This also means that approximately 7 percent of the county population will live in Central
Point.171

The population pyramid for Central Point, see Figure 17, depicts the typical shape for a town
without a university. The “gap” in residents aged 20-24 exists in most non-university towns
because this is the age where young adults leave to attend college or obtain employment
elsewhere. Although this data will be less valuable after the 2020 census, it still helps to predict
what types of services and land use Central Point needs to offer. The City’s population is less
top-heavy than either the nation or the county because fewer people aged 65 or older live in
Central Point. Although the Southern Oregon region experiences high levels of retirees
relocating to the area, this does not appear to be the case in Central Point. However, the ongoing
Twin Creeks project may alter future data.
Because of the relative youth of the population, Central Point has a large percentage of families
with working-aged individuals aged 30-50 and their children under the age of 14. Proportionally,
this means that Central Point has higher levels of working-age individuals than the national
population. This shows that Central Point has a strong labor base, and that there will continue to
be a strong demand for education services.
Conclusion Central Point must prepare to have its population grow by almost 38% over the
next 20 years. Should the population trends continue, the City must also be prepared to house a
population younger than a typical non-university town.
iii. Regional Employment Forecast
Introduction The DLCD also recommends analyzing job growth forecasts as a means to
determine a city’s future land use needs. 174
The employment forecast data used in this section was generated by the Research Division at the
Oregon Employment Department through 2027. This is the best region-specific data currently
available. The following analysis correlates to both population growth per the City of Central
Point Population & Demographics Element (2019) and the anticipated expansion of specific
occupations and industries. The subsequent conclusions assume that the forecasted rates of 2017-
2027 will remain constant through 2039.
Growth According to Guy Tauer, the Regional Economist for Jackson and Josephine
counties, between 2017 and 2027, 14,111 new jobs will open in the “Rogue Valley region”175
due to population growth.176 In addition, there will be 148,807 job openings to replace workers
who leave the occupation or the workforce.177 A worker who leaves a job and then is hired to do
the same job at another establishment would not be counted as a replacement opening.178

Figure 18: Rogue Valley Occupational Employment Change, 2017-2027179
Service Industry The service industry had the largest share of total jobs in 2017. See Figure
18 for both industry-specific job openings and job growth. The service industry is also expected
to add the most new jobs in Jackson County and have the greatest number of total openings by
2027.180 This industry includes food preparation, personal care services, building maintenance,
ground keeping, and protective service occupations.181 This means that Central Point will need to
dedicate more lands to retail use.
Sales and Related Industries After the service industry, the greatest total openings will be in
sales and related industries, such as office and administrative support―each with approximately
21,800 total openings.182 These have growth rates of 6.7 percent and 5.3 percent.183 This low
growth forecast is probably a result of labor-saving technologies like self-checkout stations,
automated inventory systems, and online retail sales.184 This means that Central Point will need
to dedicate additional lands to office use.
Health Care The health care and social assistance industries currently account for
approximately one out of six jobs in the Rogue Valley.185 In fact, the area’s current employment
is concentrated in this industry with over 20,830 employees. Through 2027, health care is

Page 37
expected to have the most job openings―adding 3,780 new jobs.186 See Figure 20 for industry-
specific employment growth. This means that health care occupations will continue to grow by
approximately 17.7 percent.187 This is because a growing and aging population will demand
more health care services, which will in turn create more employment opportunities in this
recession-resistant industry.188
Although health care in the Rogue Valley is mostly concentrated in Medford, given that it has
both Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center and Providence Medford Medical Center, Central
Point has begun to make inroads into the industry with the Providence Medical Plaza on North
Pacific Highway. This indicates that Central Point may want to dedicate more land to office
space use in order to house more health care workers.
Construction Over the decade, construction is expected to have the fastest job growth
rate in the Rogue Valley, up by 25 percent. This is because housing construction, while still
below pre-Great Recession levels, is picking back up.189 As a result, Central Point may need
more industrial-zoned land for construction shops, warehouses, machinery storage, and company
offices.
Professional & Management, Business, and Financial The two industries of Professional
and Related services and Management, Business, and Financial services will both be growing at
a healthy rate. Professional and related occupations will have a growth rate of 10 percent. As a
result, Central Point will want to dedicate a good amount of its employment lands for office
space use.

Manufacturing and retail Manufacturing and retail trade are still expected to add jobs by
2027, just under 1,000 for both industries.191 See Figure 20 for industry employment changes.
However, the possibility of an economic slowdown in these sectors should be taken into
consideration when allocating land.
Leisure and hospitality About one in eleven jobs in the Rogue Valley were in leisure and
hospitality in 2017.192 This tourism- reliant sector is forecast to add 1,930 jobs between 2017 and
2027.193 However, Central Point should consider the devastating effects that wildfires and smoke
could have on the industry in the near-future.

Using the total employment date in Figure 20, we know how many people each industry
employed in 2017 and a projection for those figures through 2027. As a result, we can calculate
the annual job growth for the region per industry. Using the foregoing data, and assuming that
the rates remain constant, a sample jobs forecast for the Rogue Valley region can be calculated
through 2039, as seen in Figure 21.

iv. Regional Competitiveness
Generally, employers make locational decisions based upon a region’s competitive position for
their industry. They then choose between communities within that region based upon localized
factors. So, identifying industries in which the region can become competitive is an important
step in developing land use policies and strategies to capture economic development potential for
which Jackson County is well positioned.

See Figure 22 for how specific industries are doing in the Rogue Valley as compared to the
national average. The shift-share column (LQ) measures the degree to which an industry sector
has outperformed the nation within that industry’s employment levels during a specified time
period. If the regional growth in an industry outpaced the change in the national share then there
would be a positive (greater than 1) shift share.
If an industry sector has out-performed in a shift share analysis and the concentration within that
industry also exceeds national averages in a Location Quotient (LQ) analysis, then those
industries are likely to be ones for which the region has exhibited durable comparative
advantages.
Between 2010 and 2017, the region outperformed the nation in nine industries. Of these, mining,
manufacturing, educational services, and accommodation and food services outperformed the
nation by at least eight percent. Mining had the highest percent gain in employment relative to
the nation during the period, however given how little mining industry the area had previously,
this comes out to a gain of only 194 new jobs. The second strongest shift came from
manufacturing at 20.5 percent and with 1,414 new jobs.
198 The "Other/Suppressed Industries" category portrayed in this table represents a combined total of those industries
for which data were unavailable due to confidentiality restrictions. Those industries that are combined include:
Utilities; Wholesale Trade.

Page 42
There are three industries that the region is lagging in significantly: management of Companies
and Enterprises, Information, and State Government. Management of Companies and Enterprises
is a classification that involves employment in companies that run other types of smaller
companies. Although the previous Economic Element indicated that the region was substantially
ahead of the national curve (at 55 percent shift), the region is now significantly behind the
national curve (at negative 60.57 shift). This makes sense given the somewhat remote location of
the region from a major city and the levels of expertise that would typically be required in this
type of industry.
The Information industry includes publishing, software, broadcast, and internet industries. It is
unclear why the region is behind by almost 30 percent; however, it may have to do with the
Southern Oregon region lacking a research university, which would attract younger information
professionals. The relative proximity of Silicon Valley (less than 400 miles away) probably
contributes to a brain-drain of these young workers. The lack of growth in State Government
jobs makes sense because most of the Oregon governmental offices are in the state capital,
Salem, or other parts of the Willamette Valley.
v. Economic Development Context
In addition to measuring economic data, Statewide Planning Goal 9 encourages cities to consider
traits in their local economies that have yet to be numerically qualified. These traits are evaluated
below through an analysis of Central Point’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

vi. Competitive Position Summary
When all the regional and localized factors are synthesized, there appear to be at least four target
industry sectors where the City of Central Point exhibits a strong and durable competitive
position. These are the same industries identified in the 2013 Economic Element, and the
conclusions in 2013 remain accurate in 2019.
The specialty foods cluster that includes Lillie Belle Farms chocolates, Rogue Creamery,
and the nearby Seven Oaks Farm just outside Central Point’s municipal boundary
represents a small but unique opportunity for growth.
Truck transportation and related support industries pay high wages to City residents and
is a sector that both the Region and the City are well positioned to serve.
Planned population growth in Central Point in the regional plan is expected to support
expanded retail commercial within the City as the buying power of the City’s residential
base expands.
Planned population growth is also likely to support expanded healthcare services in the
City. Overall, this sector is expected to grow rapidly within the region as exemplified by
the Providence Medical Group building on Front Street. Although existing investments in
Medford hospitals are likely to concentrate much of the regional growth, Central Point
has an opportunity to keep pace with the growth in this sector.
Central Point also has some unique spatial characteristics that may support future economic
activities in two other sectors due to the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Problem-Solving
Plan (“RPS”). Specifically, there are aggregate employment uses and Erickson Air Crane that are
located within the Tolo Urban Reserve Areas. These are both employer types with special needs,
but the areas inclusion in the RPS Plan may present opportunities to work with these employers
for mutual benefit.
vii. Assessment of Central Point’s Economic Development Potential
The DLCD’s Industrial & Other Employment Lands Analysis Guidebook recommends assessing
the City’s economic potential based on several factors. See Figure 24 for subjective scoring on
each of Central Point’s competitive market advantages and disadvantages.
Central Point is located well in relation to markets and key transportation facilities. It is situated
halfway between two major cities, Portland and San Francisco, is located on Interstate 5, and has
ready access to the Rogue Valley International Airport. The drawbacks are that it is not located
close to a major metro area and most flights from the airport require connecting flights at a major
hub.
Central Point has excellent public facilities like water and sewer. There are rarely any service
disruptions.

Packet Pg. 82 Attachment: Economic Element (6/27/2019) (1163 : Economic Element)

Page 45
Central Point has fair access to labor markets. Its relative isolation from a major population
center does increase costs and decreases its ready access. The same is true with materials and
energy, aside from some natural resources like timber. But, as Section 5, Subsection iv
demonstrates above, the Southern Oregon region is competitive in several labor markets.

Central Point has good access to necessary support services. What businesses cannot get
internally or in near-by Medford, they can get at a nearby major city like Portland, or probably
find online.
Central Point has few pollution control issues, although the wildfire smoke in the summer
months does harm to the local economy and industries like tourism.
The City has fair access to education and technical training. The area hosts both Rogue
Community College (RCC) and Southern Oregon University (SOU). Other than that, most
students must travel either to the Oregon Institute of Technology in nearby Klamath Falls, to a
state school like the University of Oregon and Oregon State University in the Willamette Valley,
or out of state altogether.
Lastly, Central Point has good access to other market advantages, such as a ready supply of land
in the Rogue Valley and surrounding communities.

viii. Central Point’s Projected Job Growth
Next, a forecast for Central Point’s future job growth needs to be calculated. This is key to
determining how much land is needed per industry category in Central Point through 2039. The
following analysis is based on Central Point’s population compared to the regional population.
That population percentage is then applied to the regional job forecast.
For example, given that the population of Jackson County in 2018 was 219,270200 and the
population of Josephine County is 87,487,201 and Central Point has 19,101 people,202 the City of
Central Point currently has approximately 6.22 percent of the regional population. As a result,
we can assume that Central Point will capture approximately 6.22 percent of jobs created
regionally in the year 2019.203
By 2039, Central Point will grow by approximately 7,216 residents.204 This means that by 2039,
Central Point will have approximately 7.06 percent of the regional population because Jackson
County will have 264,951 people and Josephine County 107,470 people. See Figure 25. As a
result, we can assume that Central Point will capture approximately 7.06 percent of jobs created
regionally in the year 2039.205
But we need to know more than how many jobs are created in the year 2019 or in the year
2039—we need to know how many jobs will be created every year between 2019 and 2039 to
get the total number of employment acres Central Point is going to need. Unfortunately, we only
have the regional job data for those individual years, the regional and city population data, and
what we have calculated to be Central Point’s share of the region’s job growth. However, if we
take an average of Central Point’s population share (that is, the average of 6.22 percent and 7.06
percent), we can estimate the average percentage of the regional population that Central Point
will capture over the next 20 years, which is 6.64 percent. As a result, we can assume that
Central Point will capture approximately 6.64 percent of the new jobs created regionally between
2019 and 2039.
Using the data in Figure 25, we can apply Central Point’s projected population rates to forecast
the number of jobs that Central Point will likely gain in each industry from 2019 to 2039. See
Figure 26 for the forecasted job numbers. Ultimately these numbers show that by 2039, Central

through 2068. 203 Note that this assumes that Central Point has an equal percentage of the jobs created as compared to population,
not that it has an equal percentage of total jobs now existing. 204 That is Central Point’s forecasted 2039 population less the estimated 2018 population from Figure 25 (26,317 –
19,101 = 7,216). 205 Note that this assumes that Central Point has an equal percentage of the jobs created as compared to population,
not that it has an equal percentage of total jobs now existing.

Section 6: Land Demand
Introduction This section projects the City of Central Point’s short term (2019-2024) and long-
term (2019-2039) supply of land needed to satisfy employment projections.
Having reviewed economic trends on a national, state, regional, and local level, it is important to
use that information to identify economic development opportunities that are likely to expand or
locate in or near Central Point within the next twenty years. Understanding the types of sites
needed will enable the City to successfully implement its economic development objectives.
Legal Requirements Central Point must have adequate supplies of land to meet employment
needs for a range of employment opportunities. These lands must be adequate to capitalize on the
City’s economic opportunities in terms of both quantity and type.
Central Point is required to identify the major categories of industrial or other employment uses
that could reasonably be expected to locate or expand within the city’s urban growth boundary.
OAR 660-009-0015. A use or category of use will be reasonably expected to expand or locate to
Central Point if it possesses the appropriate locational factors for the use or category of use.
Economic Growth Rate Forecast
It is expected that Central Point will at least maintain growth rates comparable to the region as a
whole across all industries over the next twenty years and may reasonably be expected to exceed
regional growth rates in target industries. Central Point’s population is projected to grow at 1.5%
through 2039, see Figure 17 supra.
However, consistent with the City’s competitive positions described above there are at least three
sectors where the City is well positioned to capture additional economic opportunities and out-
perform the overall regional growth. Those sectors are specialty foods manufacturing, trucking
and warehousing, and retail. It is in these three industry sectors that the State’s regional forecast
is appropriately adjusted upward to reflect localized opportunities (See Figure 27).
i. Specialty Food Manufacturing
This is a small but distinguished sector in the Central Point economy. Overall, modest growth
assumptions in the manufacturing sector are likely to adequately capture growth potential in this
niche sector but may buoy a slight edge over regional growth rates. However, exceptional growth
in this sector is possible due to the exceptional quality of products in this niche. If such growth in
the future materializes, then that may warrant a re-evaluation of the overall manufacturing
employment growth forecast in the Economic Element.
ii. Trucking and Warehousing
The trucking and warehousing industry is strong regionally with higher than average
employment concentrations. Median wages in the industry for Central Point residents are much
7.B.b
Packet Pg. 86 Attachment: Economic Element (6/27/2019) (1163 : Economic Element)
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element 2019
Page 49
higher than regional or state averages. Assuring adequate supply of land for these uses represents
an excellent opportunity to expand on an existing sector of strength that also pays relatively high
wages. Also, this industry has potential interconnections with the wholesaling industry that
creates the potential to outpace overall regional growth to a modest degree.
Central Point is also uniquely positioned to satisfy regional growth and capitalize on regional
comparative advantages in this sector. The Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan
contemplates that the “Tolo” area is well situated for this type of economic activity north of
Interchange 35 which already serves industrial traffic to White City and aggregate resource
traffic in the area. There is very little residential and commercial development around the
interchange. No new residential development is contemplated in the regional plan, so this area is
well positioned to meet an important regional need for expanded transportation and warehousing
uses.
However, the Tolo area is constrained because of a relative lack of water service. Any attempt to
take advantage of this area would require a large investment to increase water and provide other
necessary utilities.
iii. Retail
Retail represents another opportunity for the City of Central Point. Retail trade and associated
employment tends to vary with population. From a retail trade perspective, population growth is
essentially consumer growth. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that retail trade in Central Point
will outpace the two-county regional rate and will keep pace with the annual average population
growth as set out in the County’s coordinated population forecast for the City. From an industry
categorization versus land use perspective there are some small but important differences. Land
use terminology included within the retail category includes restaurants and bars while
restaurants are categorized in the leisure and hostility industry sectors, so growth in this sector is
appropriately consistent with the retail uses in both categorization schemes such as a boutique.
iv. Projected Growth Forecast by Industry
Figure 27 depicts a reasonable 10-year planned growth rate by industry for the City of Central
Point. This growth rate utilizes the state’s regional forecast for all industries through 2027 and
shows how much each industry is likely to grow both statewide and in the City of Central Point.

Figure 27: Central Point Projected Growth Rate by Industry206
This is the best and most recent data available for regional industry growth projections over the
mid-term (10 years). This economic element assumes that the rates will remain constant through
2039.
i. Site Requirements Analysis
Goal 9 requires an analysis of site requirements. The Economic Element and Buildable Land
Inventory essentially breaks the City’s employment land inventory by employment category.
Within these general development pattern types, the Economic Element analyzes demand and
supply of large, medium and small sites. In practice, there are no discrete size breaks that
differentiate between large, medium and small sites, but it is useful to analyze different sizes

ii. Target Industries’ Unique Site Requirements
In addition to the general development pattern site requirements, the site requirements specific to
Central Point’s target industries warrant more detailed consideration.

Page 52
Specialty Food Products Manufacturing
The small cluster of businesses that are engaged in specialty food product manufacturing in
Central Point have small retail storefronts that accompany their manufacturing businesses. The
sites are generally small and there is limited room to expand operations on the existing sites. The
segment of Highway 99 where these uses are located have good access to I-5. From there they
have excellent visibility directly from Highway 99. However, the narrow strip between Highway
99 and the railroad tracks creates a practical/physical limit on future expansion. Central Point
should keep lines of communication open with these businesses to assure that the site
requirements for any expansion are well understood by staff and policy makers.
Truck Transportation and Transportation Support Services
These businesses require both office space and trucking facilities that are often co-located. Site
requirements may also include space for related uses such as truck washes, truck driver
accommodations and inter-modal freight handling. Large outdoor storage and warehouse space is
typically required. Adequate expansion area is often a factor when selecting a site so that
expansion can be accommodated without the need to relocate. Direct access to the interstate
freeway is essential and must be located in areas that are relatively free from congestion to
enable efficient freight movements. Aside from transportation facilities, power, and modern
communications, some transportation uses may not necessarily require the full complement of
other urban facilities and services.
Retail Trade
Convenient access to I-5 is important but meeting visibility site requirements from I-5 in Central
Point is a challenge. The Pine Street interchange is somewhat congested and may raise site
requirement concerns among larger retailers. Visibility from the Pine Street arterial is good and
access can be made reasonably direct. Until an anchor center is sited that attracts regional
shopping trips, the site requirements of many small and medium retailers cannot be met. The
anchor tenants create a critical mass of shopping activity that then allows the small and medium
retailers to achieve additional sales with shopping trips that are created by the anchor.
As the City’s residential neighborhoods expand to the west and north there is a need for
additional retail, and office, development to serve the particular commercial needs, both
commercial and office, of the surrounding neighborhoods. The design and size of these
commercial centers need to be based on the ultimate long-term density and area of the
neighborhood and designed to complement the neighborhood’s residential character. The
location and design of these commercial centers need to support and encourage pedestrian access
from the serving neighborhood. For land use planning purposes these centers are referred to as
Pedestrian Oriented Neighborhood Commercial Centers.
Long-Term Land Demand Estimate

This section calculates Central Point’s land demand estimate for the next 20 years. Figure 21
above provides the total number of jobs forecasted to be created in Southern Oregon through
2039. Figure 25 calculates that Central Point should capture approximately 6.64 percent of these
new jobs. Figure 26 calculates that this equals approximately 1,915 new jobs for Central Point
and allocates them by industry.
Employment land demand estimates can be projected using a variety of techniques, but this
Economic Element calculates the land needs by converting the projected population growth rates
into projected employees and then using average employee space needs and floor area ratios to
project future land needs. See Figure 32 for the estimate of employee density per acre. Then
these land needs are aggregated by the development pattern type demanded by each industry so
that the demand projections can ultimately be reconciled with land base supply calculations.
Each of these steps requires assumptions about expected ratios and land development
efficiencies.
iii. Estimate of Needed Employment Lands
In order to estimate the number of acres needed by 2039 for all Central Point’s industries, this
section uses an employee per acre ratio. According to the DLCD’s Industrial & Other
Employment Lands Analysis Guidebook, there are typically 8-12 industrial sector jobs per acre,
14-20 commercial and service sector jobs per acre, 6-10 institutional and government jobs per
acre, and 6-10 other employment sector jobs per acre.207
Figure 29: Projected Employment Net Buildable Land Needed 2019 to 2039
Figure 30 takes the number of jobs Central Point expects to gain by 2039 and estimates how
many acres are needed for each major employment land use type based on the DLCD’s
employee per acre ratio. Then, it compares that to the total net buildable acres currently in the
City. As a result, Central Point will need 47 new net acres in the aggregate by 2039.
However, Central Point will have a slight surplus of industrial lands but a deficit of commercial,
institutional, and other land types. To eliminate this deficit, Central Point will need to add

approximately 73 gross acres of commercial, institutional, and other land types of lands by
2039.208 See Figure 30.
Figure 30: Gross Acres Needed209
Another way to estimate the land demand is to compare the above result to the conclusions
reached in other parts of the Central Point Comprehensive Plan. For example, Central Point’s
Economic Element 2013-2033 found that the City would need between 59 and 67 acres by
2033. See also Central Point’s Land Use Element 2018-2038, which made the same findings.
The previous Economic Element estimated that Central Point needs approximately 13 acres of
employment lands per 1,000 residents.210 Currently, Central Point has approximately 19,101
people211 and the 2039 population is projected to be around 26,317.212 This increase of
approximately 7,216 residents means that Central Point would need a total of 93.8 additional
acres for employment purposes in the long-term.213 But, because there is a surplus of
approximately 23 Industrial site acres, Central Point actually needs 65 acres.214
Conclusion In conclusion, based on Central Point’s projected job capture rate, the
Comprehensive Plan’s previous calculations, and the estimated ratio of residents to land use
needs, Central Point has a forecasted demand of 65 to 74 additional net acres for employment
purposes for the 2019 to 2039 planning period.
Short-Term Land Demand Estimate
By quartering the numbers from the long-term estimate, the short-term land employment use
needs can be determined. As a result, Central Point will need 18 additional net acres for the
next five years (2019-2024). See Figure 30.
Inventory of Employment Lands
After identifying economic opportunities and estimating land demand, the next step in the Goal 9
208 That is, (21.1714) + (18.1667) + (33.8333) = (73.1714). 209 See Figure 29. Rounded to the nearest tenth. 210 Central Point Land Use Element 2018 at 27. 211 Id. at 9. 212 Population Research Center, Portland State University, Jackson County Final Forecast Report, Cycle 2: Region

process is to evaluate the current land base and its ability to meet the site needs for which there is
a projected demand over the next twenty years. Central Point updates its general buildable lands
information on a regular basis and this information has been used as the starting point to analyze
the land base from a more specific Goal 9 perspective.
The Central Point Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI): 2019-2039 has been published by the
City of Central Point as a separate document. The above-conclusion that Central Point needs
65 to 73 additional net acres by 2039 considers the findings of the BLI, including that there is
a slight surplus of industrial lands.
i. Redevelopment and Land Use Efficiency
The City of Central Point’s current built employment land base has relatively limited
redevelopment potential. According to the BLI, the City only has 8.95 acres of total commercial
lands and 36.18 acres of industrial lands that are redevelopable.215 This configuration does not
lend itself well to redevelopment on a scale that would significantly alter the supply and demand
for sites over a twenty-year period because this would require the demolition and aggregation of
parcels. While this type of redevelopment does occur on occasion, it is unlikely to be
economically viable in Central Point on a scale that would alter long-term supply and demand
projections for employment lands. This quantitative determination does not mean that there are
not good qualitative reasons to support redevelopment, especially in the downtown and along
Highway 99.
There exists a small amount of redevelopment potential along Table Rock Road.216 Several
parcels are zoned residential and that are large enough to be be developed for employment uses.
Other parcels are not intensively developed. However, this is an area where relatively
inexpensive small industrial sites are available to own and where there are limited development
requirements that add overhead. In some ways, this area is important employment land for
certain types of firms that have ever fewer places to locate in the valley in a manner that is cost-
effective. As such, aggressive redevelopment planning policies for this area may seem to be a
great aesthetic endeavor but may have adverse and unintended economic consequences.
Moreover, without relatively massive financial incentives for significant redevelopment that
would change the overall quality of development in this area, lesser redevelopment policies tend
to have the opposite effect where owners intentionally avoid development projects that would
trigger expensive design and aesthetic upgrades to their respective properties.
ii. Vacant Lands
According to the BLI, most of the City’s vacant acreage consists of Medium Industrial lands, as
well as Large and Medium Retail.217 The City has barely any vacant acreage allocated
predominantly to office use of any kind. It also has little acreage dedicated to small retail.
However, according the analysis in this Economic Element, Central Point’s economy will likely
215 Central Point Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI): 2019-2039 at 6, Tables 3 and 4. 216 See Central Point Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI): 2019-2039 at 13. 217 Id. at 7, Figure 3.
7.B.b
Packet Pg. 93 Attachment: Economic Element (6/27/2019) (1163 : Economic Element)
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element 2019
Page 56
have its strongest growth in industries that require retail and office space. As a result, the City
needs to increase its buildable lands in these categories.
Further, according to the BLI, most of the vacant number of lots are in small retail (even though
there is little total acreage).218 Further, there are few vacant lots of any kind for offices, large
retail, and large industrial.219 As a result, the City will need more parcels for offices of every size
and for large industrial and large retail.
Another consideration in the employment land demand and current employment land inventory
is the spatial relationship between existing inventory and future demand. As the City’s residential
neighborhoods (UGB) expand to the west and north additional employment lands will be needed
for Pedestrian Oriented Neighborhood Commercial Centers. As would be expected the City’s
current employment land inventory (planned and zoned) is not spatially appropriate for these
new expanding neighborhoods, and in terms of inventory are considered excess supply.
Consequently, there will be a need to discount some of these lands when addressing the supply
need for new Pedestrian Oriented Neighborhood Commercial Centers.
iii. Conclusion
A stable and diverse economy that provides access to employment opportunities for Central
Point’s growing population is fundamental to providing a livable community consistent with the
City’s vision and preferred future. Based on the analysis herein, the City will experience growth
across all employment categories and is particularly well positioned to experience growth in
specialty foods, trucking and transportation, healthcare and retail services. However, proactive
and effective strategies will be necessary to attract, retain and expand a diverse business
environment to provide for the City’s employment needs as they change over time. To
accomplish this, the City recognizes the following considerations as essential to fostering an
effective economic development program in Central Point:
1. Collaboration, Partnership & Comparative Advantages Must Be Leveraged. Effective
economic development actions necessary to diversify the City’s economic base requires
an understanding of, and a careful balance between regional cooperation and competition.
It is important to understand and pro-actively participate in the broader national, state,
and regional economic development discussions. Participating in regional economic
development programs like Southern Oregon Regional Development, Inc. (SOREDI) and
the Rogue Valley Workforce Development Council can improve the regional economic
climate and a strong regional economy will benefit all communities within the region.
Most importantly, to be an effective participant the City must recognize its competitive
advantage within the region and compete for those economic development opportunities
within the region for which Central Point is well positioned.
2. Adequate Land Supply and Development Site Characteristics Needed to be Competitive:
The City will need to provide adequate land supply in terms of both acreage and
development site characteristics to effectively respond to business development needs.

7.B.b
Packet Pg. 94 Attachment: Economic Element (6/27/2019) (1163 : Economic Element)
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element 2019
Page 57
This need is particularly true for Neighborhood Commercial lands as the City expands its
urban growth boundary. At this time, the City does not have enough employment lands to
meet the projected economic needs over the next 20 years. Population growth and job
forecasts indicate that the City will need more lands for Office, Retail and Institutional
employment uses with a focus on development sites suitable for medium and large office
and retail uses and availability of vacant buildings for expanding small businesses (i.e.
flex-space). Over the 2019-2039 planning period, the City will need to expand the UGB
to ensure an adequate 5-year and 20-year supply of buildable employment land (Table
30).
3. Dynamic Economic Conditions Require Proactive and Responsive Management. The
economy is dynamic and even economic opportunities for which the City is well
positioned require timely and concerted action. These dynamic economic forces require
the City to be responsive and flexible to capitalize on opportunities as they arise. They
also require the City to engage in sustained analysis of national, state, and local economic
conditions. Only when the City is actively monitoring its economy will it be poised to
take advantage of good opportunities and guide the community through any turbulent
times.
Furthermore, the pursuit of beneficial economic development requires a balance between
short-term and long-term economic objectives. The City recognizes that some
opportunities may warrant short-term incentives to achieve longer term employment or
property tax revenue objectives; while other opportunities may have a lesser long-term
benefit and may not warrant the short-term fiscal cost of incentives.

Section 7: Goals and Policies
Statewide Planning Goal 9 requires that comprehensive plans and policies contribute to a stable
and healthy economy in all regions of the state. This section sets forth the City of Central Point’s
economic development goals and policies.
Goal 1 To actively promote a strong, diversified, and sustainable local economy, that
reinforces Central Point’s “small town feel”220 and family orientation while
preserving or enhancing the quality of life in the community as a place to live,
work, and play.
Because this Economic Element concludes that there will be economic
uncertainty in the short-term, it is important that Central Point work to diversify
and strengthen its economy. By continuing to analyze economic trends, Central
Point will be able to continue growing strong throughout the 2019-2039 planning
period.
Goal 2 To create meaningful incentives to encourage and support economic
development;
Central Point has historically been a bedroom community where people live but
work elsewhere. In order to maintain a strong tax base and to ensure continued
economic prosperity, Central Point must take an active role in encouraging
economic development.
Goal 3 To encourage and promote the development, redevelopment, and enhancement of
retail and office areas to achieve a vibrant shopping, entertainment, living and
working experience in the downtown area.
This goal is important because Central Point needs a vibrant downtown in order to
ensure future economic prosperity. Further, based on the current BLI and the
projected land use needs, Central Point is going to need targeted redevelopment
strategies to encourage these types of activities in the future.
Goal 4 To encourage active communication and cooperation between the City, local, and
state agencies, and local businesses concerning economic development,
education, and workforce development.
The City cannot reach its goals without the assistance of others. As a result, the
City needs to be receptive to suggestions and aid from others and also needs to be
active in communicating its needs and plans.
Goal 5 To encourage and support growth, particularly in the targeted industries (specialty
food manufacturing, and trucking and warehousing sectors).
220 As defined in the Urbanization Element of the Comprehensive Plan
7.B.b
Packet Pg. 96 Attachment: Economic Element (6/27/2019) (1163 : Economic Element)
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element 2019
Page 59
These targeted industries are where the City could make strides. It is important
that the City help maintain and grow these industries now and in the future.
Goal 6 To maintain at all times an adequate supply of suitable short-term (five-year)
employment lands.
Central Point does not have an adequate short-term supply of lands for
institutional/government and other employment types. As a result, the City should
plan to add to the land supply in the near future.
Goal 7 To prepare and maintain a City of Central Point Economic Development Manual
identifying and monitoring economic development strategies and programs
available to the City.
Goal 8 Create a positive environment for industrial, commercial and institutional job
growth and development by maintaining an adequate land supply; providing a
local development review process that is predictable, responsive, and efficient;
and delivering high quality public facilities and services.
Goal 9 Assure, through the UGB process, that adequate commercial lands are planned
and designated for the development of pedestrian oriented neighborhood
commercial centers to serve the City’s new residential neighborhoods.
The City’s economic development goals will be managed through the following policies:
Policy 1: Participation
The City shall participate on the regional and state level in the development and programming of
alternative financial incentives and initiatives for economic development, including education
and workforce development that are consistent with the City’s economic development goals.
Policy 2: Refine Policies
The City shall continue to monitor and refine its land development and fiscal policies as they
relate to economic development to ensure that the City’s economic development programming
can be effectively implemented.
Policy 3: Monitor Long-Term Consequences
Consider economic development incentives as an inducement to development only when it can
be demonstrated that the short-term consequences are understood and found to be acceptable and
the long-term consequences are determined to be beneficial to the City.

Packet Pg. 97 Attachment: Economic Element (6/27/2019) (1163 : Economic Element)
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element 2019
Page 60
Policy 4: Small Businesses
The City shall pursue and encourage development of leasable employment buildings (i.e. flex-
space) to create opportunities to expand, retain and attract small businesses to Central Point’s
employment districts.
Policy 5: Business Innovation
Encourage innovation, research, development, and commercialization of new technologies,
products, and services through responsive regulations and public sector approaches.
Policy 6: Tolo Area
The City shall, in collaboration with Jackson County, continue planning the Exit 35 area—also
called “Area CP-1B (Tolo)”—in the Regional Plan Element, to capitalize on economic
opportunities, especially for transportation-based economic activity and truck/rail freight support
services. This area also contains the aeronautics manufacturing company Erickson Air Crane and
serves aggregate uses; these uses have many specific and unique dimensions that should be
carefully considered. Plans and land use regulations applicable to this area need to account for
the site requirements of firms in these sectors. Because the area is currently constrained as a
result of a lack of access to water, the City should begin planning how to make water more
readily available so as to make these lands available for more economic development.
Policy 7: Monitor Regulations
The City shall periodically evaluate its regulations for employment related development,
particularly as it relates to targeted industries, as well as compatibility with adjacent non-
employment lands to ensure that regulations are consistent with applicable best practices.
Regulations found to no longer be appropriate should be amended as soon as practicable
thereafter.
Policy 8: Adequate Short-Term Supply
The City shall assure that, through its Capital Improvement Program, public facilities and
transportation facilities are available and adequate in capacity to maintain a supply of
competitive short-term buildable lands sufficient to meet employment needs within a five-year
period, particularly for the retail, specialty foods, professional, health care, and trucking sectors.
Policy 9: Prepare for Long-Term Needs
The City shall maintain a supply of competitive short-term employment lands in the medium and
large site categories equivalent to the twenty-year demand for those categories. The supply of
short-term employment land shall be reviewed and updated every four years consistent with the
Portland State University Population Research Center Coordinated Population Forecasting
schedule. When it is determined that the supply of land as measured in terms of number of sites
and/or acreage in the medium and large site categories is inadequate to serve the twenty-year

needs then the City shall amend its UGB to include additional short-term (5-year) employment
lands.
Policy 10: Pedestrian Oriented Neighborhood Commercial Centers.
As the City’s expands the UGB it will include in the land use mix adequate commercial lands to
for the development of Pedestrian Oriented Commercial Centers designed to compliment the
physical character and encourage neighborhood pedestrian use. Adequacy of the acreage needed
for Pedestrian Oriented Commercial Centers will be guided by the Regional Plan land use
allocation.

convenient for the city of Central Point’s contracting needs. The purchasing agent shall
hear all solicitation and award protests.
B. Delegation of Purchasing Agent’s Authority. Any of the responsibilities or authorities of
the purchasing agent under this chapter may be delegated and subdelegated by written
directive.
C. Mandatory Review of Rules. Whenever the Oregon State Legislative Assembly enacts

(Ord. 1963 §3, 2012; Ord. 1872 (part), 2006).
Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 279
279B.070 Intermediate procurements. (1) A contracting agency may award a procurement of
goods or services that exceeds $10,000 but does not exceed $150,000 in accordance with
intermediate procurement procedures. A contract awarded under this section may be amended
to exceed $150,000 only in accordance with rules adopted under ORS 279A.065.
(2) A contracting agency may not artificially divide or fragment a procurement so as to
constitute an intermediate procurement under this section.
(3) When conducting an intermediate procurement, a contracting agency shall seek at least
three informally solicited competitive price quotes or competitive proposals from prospective
contractors. The contracting agency shall keep a written record of the sources of the quotes or
proposals received. If three quotes or proposals are not reasonably available, fewer will suffice,
but the contracting agency shall make a written record of the effort the contracting agency
makes to obtain the quotes or proposals.
(4) If a contracting agency awards a contract, the contracting agency shall award the
contract to the offeror whose quote or proposal will best serve the interests of the contracting
agency, taking into account price as well as considerations including, but not limited to,
experience, expertise, product functionality, suitability for a particular purpose and contractor
responsibility under ORS 279B.110. [2003 c.794 §54; 2013 c.66 §2]

a result of the termination. Final payment to the Contractor will be made according to
the City’s payment terms.

determines that termination of the Contract is in the best interest of the public.
Notice: The City will provide the Contractor and the Contractor’s Surety seven (7)

the Contractor and the Contractor’s Surety shall provide the City with immediate and
peaceful possession of the Project Site, and of materials and equipment to be
incorporated into the Work, whether located on and off the Project Site, for which the
Contractor received progress payments.

furnished and the status of payment (paid/un-paid) for such Work, materials and
equipment; less any outstanding labor or material claims against the Contractor.

Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Public Works
FROM: Matt Samitore, Parks and Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: June 27, 2019
SUBJECT: Community Center - Ad Hoc Committee Recommendation
ACTION REQUIRED:
Information/Direction
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: City Council in 2018 created a Community Center Ad-Hoc
Committee. The job of the ad-hoc committee was to prioritize the amenities of a Community
Center with the monies potentially available for construction.
The Committee quickly focused that the building was the main priority and that a community
swimming pool couldn’t be funded at this time.
The Ad Hoc Committee reviewed several potential floor plans and made the following
suggestions:
1 full-size basketball court
2 multi-purpose courts
2 classrooms – moveable center wall will allow for larger group meetings/conferences.
Snack bar or commercial kitchen
Dining area and Senior Center area
Office Space
Restrooms
Storage Space
The Community Center Ad Hoc Committee reviewed the potential community center uses
below:
Senior Center: Classes, lunch, music, senior resources
The committee feels that a senior center would be an important component of the
community center. Senior Center could operate mornings in the facility and provide
lunch, classes, and senior resources. No membership requirements – open to all.
Possibly provide indoor walking track around both gyms for morning exercise program.
Kitchen Facilities including dining area for senior center, cooking classes, snack
bar
Need to have kitchen facilities and dining area to serve Senior Center. No need for
9.A
Packet Pg. 137
teaching kitchen. Size should be minimized to meet needs of the Senior Center and to
provide an area for food prep for events. The committee also agreed that a snack bar
serving community center visitors would be good idea. This could be contracted out or
staffed by nonprofit volunteers.
Adult and Kid Recreation Leagues (Gymnasiums): Basketball, pickleball,
volleyball:
The gymnasiums are recommended to be a required element of the community center.
The committee would like to keep the two gym configuration although some adjustments
may be necessary related to total sq. ft. Need to research types of surfaces available
that will allow greatest flexibility and how best to configure lines for variety of uses
including basketball, indoor soccer, pickleball, volleyball, etc. Possibility of raised walking
path was discussed.
Adults and Kids Exercise Classes & Recreation Programs (Classrooms): Yoga,
Pilates, dance, martial arts, arts and crafts, science, computers, etc.
Classrooms are another required element. Committee wants to provide maximum
flexibility with room separators and flexible flooring options. Rooms will need to be
designed with both exercise and craft classes in minds. One classroom needs to be
setup with presentations in mind – projector or large TV monitor. Depending on cost may
provide for computer hookups, etc. An important element for all classroom space will be
providing adequate storage space and furnishings.
Aerobic and Weight Training Exercise Classes (Elliptical and weight machines,
etc.)
Committee was not supportive of an aerobic/weight training room. It would compete with
local businesses and there are issues involved with staffing such a facility and liability
issues as well.
Conferences & Meetings
The committee is supportive of providing space for conferences and meetings as long as
these events do not conflict with recreational use.
Special Events: City uses, rental for other organization events, weddings, family
gatherings
The committee is supportive of using facilities for special events, although scheduling
around recreation activities may be an issue. Soundproofing may be an issue.
Walking Track
The committee liked the idea of providing a walking track. One idea was a track
that would be located above the gymnasium bleachers but this was thought to be
too expensive. The other option would be to provide a track around both
gymnasium floors which could be used in the early morning before any other
activities began in the gyms. An outdoor walking track could possibly be created
around the facility for use when weather allows.
Climbing Wall
The committee did not support the concept of a climbing wall. They agreed that a
climbing wall would be problematic, requiring constant staffing and would be a
liability concern as well.
Swimming Pool
Concerning a swimming pool on the community center site, the committee felt
9.A
Packet Pg. 138
that the construction costs would be high and staffing and maintenance would be
problematic. A regional swimming pool would be a preferred option but currently
Jackson County has other priorities and the City of Medford is considering a
swim center of its own. Committee agreed that a pool could still be a part of the
site but could be added at a later date.
Spray park
A spray park would be relatively inexpensive to add to the community center site
and would provide a needed recreation facility for the neighborhood. Committee
members suggested that a spray park might be better placed at the current
senior center location if that facility was no longer needed.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: There will be a cost associated with the Ad-Hoc Committee’s next
steps on hiring a consultant. These costs were budgeted in the 19-21 FY budget.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Ad-Hoc Committee’s recommendation is to hire a
consultant to put together a series of diagrams and cost estimates for 8 million dollar range.
Once prepared, allow for a series of open houses/discussions to gauge community support and
bring back formal recommendations on a bond for a center or not after further community
engagement is complete.

Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Public Works
FROM: Matt Samitore, Parks and Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: June 27, 2019
SUBJECT: Parks Banking - East Side Transit Oriented Development
ACTION REQUIRED:
Information/Direction
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Areas zoned for Transit Oriented Development (TOD) are
required to dedicate 200-400 sq. Ft of open space per dwelling unit as part of their subdivision
plans. This process has worked well for Twin Creeks where there was an overall master plan
for the 200 plus acres, which allowed a series of public and private open spaces to be created
as the development progressed. Unfortunately, the eastside TOD located between Hamrick
and Gebhard Roads (see map below) does not have one developer, but a series of individual
developments. If left to develop individually, this area will develop with a smaller combination of
public and private park facilities.
Staff is suggesting looking at a parks banking option as an idea to create one large park located
around the park that is scheduled to be dedicated as part of White Hawk Estates. Instead of
building private parks, area developers would pay the City for the price per sq. Ft into a
separate parks reserve fund. Those monies would be used to acquire land around the White
Hawk Development to expand the aforementioned park. Land negotiations would need to
occur with both the Picollo and Himmelman estates for this option to be viable. Initial estimates
indicate the additional area would need to be 2-3 acres in size.
The Parks Commission reviewed the idea at the May Parks Commission meeting and
recommended the idea be forwarded to City Council.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: There would be a cost associated with a potential first right of refusal.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS: Goal 2- Provide high-quality facilities,
parks, and open spaces that attract resident and non-resident use. Strategies: a. Prepare a
finance program to maintain and expand recreation facilities, including fees, donations (land and
money), sponsorships, levies, taxes, and government support.
