Applicant: City of Central Point. File No. CPA -19002. Staff Source Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner Background On May 7, 2019 the Planning Commission discussed a working draft of the Employment Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI). In accordance with OAR 660-024-0050(1), the Employment BLI tracks the availability of employment (i.e. commercial, industrial and civic) buildable lands in the City's urban area, including vacant land and land that is likely to be redeveloped 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 uses). 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). During the Planning Commission meeting it was noted that several tables need to be updated to define land use and zoning districts by name and acronym. Additionally staff has made minor corrections to the text to correct rounding errors and grammar (Attachment "A"). These were reviewed by the Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) at a meeting on May 14, 2019. The CAC agreed with the Planning Commission's recommended changes and the minor text amendments by staff and recommended the Planning Commission approve the Employment BLI with all corrections. Employment BLI Overview: The City's urban area consists of 2,972 acres of which 633 (21 %) are designated for employment use in the following general categories: • Commercial: 232.70 acres (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 23 ATTACHMENT "A" 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. " ... lq Went Site Oistribufloni: .

The Employment BLI is an inventory of buildable lands and is not a policy document. The data in the BLI supports analysis in the Economic Element, which sets forth the City's goals and policies relative to the opportunities and need for employment land in the City's urban area over the next 20 -years.

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. AX CENTRAL POINT s F%0 sm— awkew M PON CNN umiw Page 3 of 18 27 2019 — 2039 Employment ELI 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 inonituring 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). Table 1.

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. Table 2.

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. Table 3.

BUILDABLE EMPLOYMENT LAND INVENTORY The term "Buildable Land" is typically reserved for residential use. 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). 29 Page 5 of 18 2019 - 2039 Employment BLI 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. Table 4.

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 defuiitions and methodology used in preparing the Employment BLI are presented in Appendix "A" — Definitions and Appendix `B" — Methodology.

Employment Buildable Lands Inventory Page 13 of 18 2019 — 2039 Employment BLI 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 perccnt or greater; d is within the 11000 -year floors 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 perivauenlly 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 Page 14 of 18 38 2019 — 2039 Employment BLI 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 28513.280 (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)). Page 15 of 18 W 2019 — 2039 Employment BLI w Page 16 of 18 2019 — 2039 Employment BLI 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 (BL12019.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 BL12018 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 I — 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 (1) ratio in less than 1 are defined and have Page 17 of 18 41 2019 — 2039 Employment BLI 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. Page 18 of 18 42
