HomeMy WebLinkAboutCouncil Resolutions 1599 RESOLUTION NO. 1 -c q A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE CITY COUNCIL'S INTENT TO INITIATE AN AMENDMENT TO THE CENTRALPOINT URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY (UGB) AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ADD LAND FROM THE CITY'S URBAN RESERVE AREAS (URAs) CP-2B, CP-3, CP-4D, AND CP-6A FOR THE CITY'S 20-YEAR (2019-2039) HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, PARKS AND PUBLIC FACILITY NEEDS . RECITALS: A. A proposed amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan or UGB may be initiated by a Resolution of Intent by the Planning Commission or City Council (CPMC 17.96.020(A)); and, B. The City is forecast to add 7,216 people to its Urban Area over the next 20-years (Population Element), generating the need for new housing (Housing Element), employment opportunities (Economic Element) and park facilities (Parks Element) that cannot be absorbed by the available buildable land supply within the City's current UGB. C. ORS 197.296 and 197.712, requires the City to provide for needed residential, employment and urban facility needs through amendments to its UGB, changes to policy or both; and, D. Since the UGB was established in 1983 (Ordinance No. 1493), the City has implemented several measures to increase land use efficiency and livability consistent with ORS 197.296. At this time the City has determined there is limited ability to further increase efficiency of residential land use and development inside the current UGB. E. The Community Development Department has prepared a UGB/Comprehensive Plan Amendment application to add 444 acres of land in response to the identified need in accordance with ORS 197.296. F. The proposed amendment includes land from four (4) URAs based on public involvement and direction from the City Council (4/11/2019), Planning Commission (4/20/2019 and 5/7/2019) and the Citizen's Advisory Committee (4/9/2019) consistent with the City's Urban Growth Boundary Management Agreement (UGBMA) with Jackson County, and applicable state, county and city regulations; G. Initiation of the City's formal UGB Amendment application with Jackson County is consistent with the City Council goals to address housing supply and affordability, promote the City's economic interest, and create planned growth to serve the public necessity and convenience and general welfare. The City of Central Point resolves: Section 1. By this resolution the City Council authorizes the Community Development Department to proceed with finalizing and submitting the UGB Amendment Application, including finalizing the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law to include lands shown in Exhibit A. Section 2. The City Council authorizes payment of applicable planning application fees to Jackson County Development Services, as necessary to complete the application.
