MINUTES Carrie Reed made a motion to approve the minutes of the September 10, 2019, Citizen's Advisory Committee meeting. Mike House seconded the motion. All members said "aye". Motion passed. IV. PUBLIC APPEARANCES No public appearances V. BUSINESS A. Central Point Hazard Mitigation Plan — 2019 Update Community planner Justin Gindlesperger said this update is a review of the risk assessment portion of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. He explained the definition of "risk" as the potential for loss or damage from a hazard which is uncontrolled or unexpected. He said the purpose of the plan is to prepare the City and its residents to be able to recover quickly from any loss or damage. He said the risk assessment process includes identification of hazards, assessment of vulnerability and risk analysis. The hazards the city is subject to are earthquake, flood, wildfire, severe weather, drought, volcanic eruptions and landslides. He said vulnerability is assessed by evaluating the overlap between natural hazards and community assets such as people, economy, built environment and natural environment. The process of analyzing risk takes into account exposure analysis, historical analysis and scenario analysis. He provided examples or each type of analysis. He then showed how each hazard is ranked (high, medium or low risk) and which ones the city would be most susceptible to. Page 2 of 29 CAC Minutes January 14, 2020 Page 2 Mr. Gindlesperger stated the next steps will be to draft mitigation strategies and action items. Once these have been drafted, the Hazard Mitigation Plan will come back to the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for additional comments, feedback, questions or suggestions. Then it will go to the Planning Commission and City Council. It will then be incorporated into the Environmental Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Carrie Reed moved to approve the draft Hazard Mitigation Plan as presented. Mike House seconded the motion. All members said "aye". Motion passed. B. Consideration of a Zone Map Change application. The zoning is proposed for change from Employment Commercial (TOD) to General Commercial (TOD). The 0.99 acres are located in the western portion of the City's downtown corridor. The Project Site is identified on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37-2W-10AA, Tax Lots 6000 and 6100. Applicant: City of Central Point. File No. CPA -19008. Community Development Director Tom Humphrey said the City is initiating a minor zone map amendment from Employment Commercial (EC) to General Commercial (GC). The property consists of 0.99 acres and two tax lots located at 119 W Pine Street and 11 S. Haskell Street. He said this change is proposed in order to realign the zoning designation with proposed uses. It will allow for the future expansion of the Rogue Creamery. He added the Creamery is working with a local engineering group to evaluate the impact of the zone change on traffic within the vicinity. He explained the difference between the Employment Commercial and the General Commercial zones and added the zone change must comply with the Comprehensive Plan, be compatible with surrounding land uses and zoning and comply with the Transportation Planning Rule. He said the Planning Commission has directed staff to move the zone change to a public hearing once the traffic study was complete. He asked if the Citizens Advisory Committee felt the proposal satisfied all the criteria provided in the findings and if so did they feel it should go to a public hearing once the traffic study was completed. Mike House made a motion to proceed to a public hearing on the proposed zone change once the traffic study was completed. Cinda Harmes seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Cinda Harmes, yes; Carrie Reed, yes; Mike House, yes. Motion passed. Page 3 of 29 CAC Minutes January 14, 2020 Page 3 C. Urban Growth Boundary Amendment Update Principal Planner Stephanie Holtey reviewed the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) amendment. She said the traffic study should be complete within a few weeks. Then the application will be submitted to the County. She reviewed the criteria that will be addressed and said the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) would be asked to make a recommendation to the Planning Commission. She said there might be a special meeting of the CAC in April or May to review the traffic analysis. She added traffic impacts would be reviewed at the time of any annexation or development once the UGB amendment was approved. VI.

Chairman Page 5 of 29 TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN AMENDMENT Page 6 of 29 Community Development STAFF REPORT�r Tom Humphrey,AICP, CENTRAL Community Development Director POINT August 11, 2020 Agenda Item: VIII -A Consideration of Minor Revision to the Transportation System Plan (TSP) concerning improvements at the intersection of Highway 99 and Scenic Avenue. Applicant: City of Central Point. File No. CPA - 20001. Staff Source: Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner Background The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has received funding through the All Road Transportation Safety (ARTS) Program to signalize the intersection at Highway 99 and Scenic Avenue and apply a road diet (i.e. 4 lanes to 3 lanes with a center turn lane from Mile Post .42 to MP 1.64). The proposed improvements extend from the jurisdictional boundary on Highway 99 north to Exit 35 (Attachment "A"). To receive funding for design, engineering and construction through the ARTS Program, ODOT needs the City needs to amend the TSP to include all improvements associated with the project. Currently, Project No. 230 in the City's TSP lists the signal but does not include the road diet. The City is proposing the Minor Amendment to the TSP to support ODOT's project, which will ultimately address traffic safety concerns at this location. Discussion At the August 11, 2020 Citizen's Advisory Committee Meeting, staff will present an overview of the project and proposed amendments. Following public input staff is seeking a recommendation from the CAC to approve the Minor Amendment to the TSP, which will be noticed and scheduled for public hearing at the September 1, 2020 Planning Commission Meeting.

POINT August 11, 2020 Agenda Item: VIII -B Community Development Tom Humphrey, AICP, Community Development Director Consideration of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to add roughly 444 acres to the City of Central Point Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) for needed housing, employment and parks and open spaces. Applicant: City of Central Point. File No. CPA -19001. Staff Source: Stephanie Holtey, Principal Planner Background The City is requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to add roughly 444 acres of land to the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) for housing, employment (non -industrial) and parks and open space (Attachment "A" and `B"). The UGB Amendment is in response to forecast growth over a 20 -year planning period (2019-2039), the lack of available buildable lands in the current UGB to meet the identified land need, and the availability of Urban Reserve Areas (URAs). As part of the UGB Amendment application, the City is proposing jurisdictional transfer of four (4) roadways from the County to the City (Attachment "C") and a minor amendment to the Urban Growth Boundary Management Agreement (UGBMA) between Jackson County and the City (Attachment "D"). The purpose of this change is to impose a 40 acre minimum lot size on land divisions in the UGB since these lands will remain in the County until they are annexed into the City. To approve the UGB Amendment, the City and County must find that the proposal satisfies the criteria for Major UGB Revisions in the UGBMA between the County and City and applicable state, county and city requirements. In general, these include the following: • Demonstrate a Land Need, including inability to accommodate growth inside the current UGB. • Determine a Boundary Location that is consistent with priorities set forth in the Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) and Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS 197.298), and that is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 14 location criteria. These criteria require selection of lands that provide for: o Efficient accommodation of land needs; o Orderly and economic provision of public facilities and services; o Balance comparative environmental, social, economic, and energy (ESEE) consequences; and, o Consider compatibility of proposed urban uses with nearby agricultural and forest activities occurring on farm and forest lands outside the UGB. Additionally, the location and land uses must comply with County and City Comprehensive Plans and applicable regulations. These are addressed in the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, which are available online at htt s.//wWw.cctitraI ointore on. ov/cd/ a e/2019 -urban- rowth-boundai -amendment. Discussion At the August 11, 2020 Citizen's Advisory Committee Meeting, staff will provide an overview of the UGB Amendment and how it meets the applicable criteria. Additionally staff will explain the approval process and request input from the CAC and interested members of the public regarding the UGB Amendment application, as Page 14 of 29 well as public engagement opportunities over the next 1-2 months. Staff is recommending that the meeting be continued to September 8`h to allow an additional opportunity for the CAC to receive public input prior to making a formal recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council.

B) URBANIZABLE LAND: Areas within an officially adopted urban growth boundary which are needed for the expansion of that urban area, and which have been determined to be necessary and suitable for development as future urban land and which can be served with necessary urban public facilities and services. 14. Urban Reserve Areas (URA): Land outside of a UGB identified as highest priority (per ORS 197.298) for inclusion in the UGB when additional urbanizable land is needed in accordance with the requirements of Statewide Planning Goal 14. INTENT AND PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT The intent and purpose of this Agreement is for City and County to: Enhance long-range planning in the Urban Growth Boundary and the Urban Reserve. 2. Maintain and improve coordination and communication between City and County. 3. Develop consistent policies and procedures for managing urban growth and development within the Urban Growth Boundary. 4. Minimize impacts to property owners, local governments and service providers related to the transition of property from within the Urban Growth Boundary to within the City Limits. URBAN GROWTH POLICIES 1. The City of Central Point shall have primary responsibility for all future urban level development that takes place within the City and urban growth boundary area. Additionally: A) All urban level development shall conform to City standards, shall be consistent with the adopted City Comprehensive Plan, and shall meet all appropriate requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance and Map. 3 Page 21 of 29 B) The term "urban level development" shall be generally defined, for purposes of this agreement, as any commercial or industrial development, and any residential development, partitioning, or subdivision that creates actual or potential densities greater than allowed by the City's Residential Low-density District (R -L). The expansion or major alteration of legally existing commercial or industrial use shall also be considered urban level development. C) Urban level development proposals submitted through County processes must be accompanied by a contract to annex to the City. D Prior to annexation of urbanizable lands no land divisions shall be approved by the County which create lots less than forty 40 acres in size. 2. A change in the use of urbanizable land from a use designated on the Jackson County Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Map to uses shown on the City Comprehensive Plan shall occur only upon annexation or contractual intent to annex to the City. Additionally: A) Development of land for uses designated in the Comprehensive Plan shall be encouraged on vacant or underdeveloped lands adjacent to or within the City limits prior to the conversion of other lands within the urban growth boundary. B) Urban facilities and services must be adequate in condition and capacity to accommodate the additional level of growth, as allowed by the Comprehensive Plan, prior to or concurrent with the land use changes. C) The City may initiate annexation and zone changes of lands outside the City limits and within the UGB that are under a County "Exclusive Farm Use" designation or otherwise enjoying farm -related tax incentives when such lands are needed for urban development. 3. City annexation shall only occur within the framework of the City's Comprehensive Plan and within the Urban Growth Boundary. 4. Except as provided in Policy 11 of this agreement, specific annexation decisions shall be governed by the City of Central Point. The City will provide opportunities for the County and all affected agencies to respond to pending requests for annexation with the response time limited to sixty days to minimize any unnecessary and costly delay in processing. The establishment of the Urban Growth Boundary does not imply that all lands within the Boundary must be annexed to the City. C! Page 22 of 29 6. Jackson County shall retain jurisdiction over any land use decisions, other than annexations, within the unincorporated urbanizable area, in conformance with these adopted policies. Additionally: A) The City shall be requested to respond to pending applications for land use changes in the unincorporated urbanizable area. If no response is received within fourteen days, the County will assume the City has no objections to the request B) The City will request that the County respond to pending applications for land use changes within the incorporated area which could affect land under County jurisdiction. If no response is received within fourteen days, the City will assume the County has no objections to the request. C) Recognizing that unincorporated areas within the Urban Growth Boundary could ultimately become part of Central Point, the City's recommendations will be given due consideration. It is the intent of the County to administer a mutually adopted City/County policy in the urbanizable area until such time as the area is annexed. 7. Lands in the vicinity of the Seven Oaks Interchange, as delineated on Map 1 attached, are considered unique because of the transportation facilities present. The I-5 Interchange Area Management Plan (IAMP) for Exit 35 addresses the unique characteristics of the area and recommendations from the plan will be incorporated into the City and County Comprehensive Plans. Portions of this area are in Central Point's Urban Reserve while the remainder is designated an Area of Mutual Planning Concern and shall be protected from premature development. Additionally: A) The County shall ensure that the area remains in a rural character so that a priority is placed on urban development within the UGB, as planned. B) The Seven Oaks Interchange Area of Mutual Planning Concern shall retain its present County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map designation, or similar "rural" designation, until such time as the area can be shown to be needed for the City's urbanization, in accordance with the seven urbanization factors of Statewide goal 14 and the provisions of this agreement that pertain to City -initiated comprehensive plan amendments. 8. Lands in the vicinity of and including Forest/Gibbon Acres west of Table Rock Road, as delineated on Map 2 attached, are considered remote to Central Point at this time. Although located outside of any Urban Reserve, this area is designated an Area of Mutual Planning Concern and shall be protected from premature or more intense development. Additionally: Page 23 of 29 A) The County shall ensure that the area remains in a rural character so that a priority is placed on urban development within the UGB and URAs, as planned. B) The Forest/Gibbon Acres Area of Mutual Planning Concern shall retain its present County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map designation, or similar "rural" designation, until such time as the area can be shown to be needed for the City's urbanization or for inclusion in Medford or in White City should it incorporate. Inclusion in a planning area will occur in accordance with the seven urbanization factors of Statewide goal 14 and the provisions of this agreement that pertain to City -initiated comprehensive plan amendments. 9. Lands under the ownership of Jackson County between Gebhard Road and Interstate -5 north of Pine Street, including the Jackson County Expo (fairgrounds) and property in the ownership of Jackson County adjacent to the Expo as delineated on Map 3 attached, are designated an Area of Mutual Planning Concern and shall be protected from uncoordinated land use development. Additionally: A) The County shall ensure that all land use planning that occurs will be coordinated with the City so that a priority is placed on urban development within the UGB and URAs, as planned. B) The Jackson County Expo Area of Mutual Planning Concern shall retain its present County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map designation, or designations unique to the fairground master plan, until such time as the area can be shown to be needed for the City's urbanization, in accordance with the seven urbanization factors of Statewide goal 14 and the provisions of this agreement that pertain to City -initiated comprehensive plan amendments. C) During the first coordinated Periodic Review process for the Regional Plan, Jackson County shall consider including the land occupied by the Jackson County Expo to the City of Central Point Urban Reserve Area. D) The impacts of County development upon City and Regional infrastructure shall be assessed and mitigated in order to obtain a mutually beneficial outcome to both entities. 10. Lands within the urbanizable area which currently support a farm use shall be encouraged, through zoning and appropriate tax incentives, to remain in that use for as long as is "economically feasible". A) "Economically feasible", as used in this policy, shall be interpreted to mean feasible from the standpoint of the property owner. Implementation of this it! Page 24 of 29 policy will be done on a voluntary basis. B) "Exclusive Farm" or other appropriate low -intensity rural zoning designation shall be applied to areas within the UGB by the County for the purpose of maintaining agricultural land uses and related tax incentives until such time as planned annexation and urban development occur. C) "Suburban Residential" or other zoning designations that would permit non-agricultural land uses to develop prematurely could result in obstacles to future planned and coordinated growth and, therefore, should be restricted to only those areas that are already developed to such levels. D) Agricultural zoning policies contained herein apply only to areas identified by the City or County as agricultural lands within the UGB, URA's or Seven Oaks Area of Mutual Planning Concern and shall not be used as a standard to review other land use applications within these areas. 11. The City and County acknowledge the importance of protecting agricultural lands. Therefore: A) While properties are in agricultural use, the City will apply the below standards when adjacent lands are proposed for urban residential development: i. To mitigate the potential for vandalism, the development's design should incorporate the use of visible public or semipublic open space adjacent to the agricultural lands. ii. To mitigate, nuisances originating from agricultural noise, odors, irrigation run-off, and agricultural spray drift, the development's design should incorporate: a. The use of landscaping and berms where a positive buffering benefit can be demonstrated. b. The orientation of structures and fencing relative to usable exterior space such as patios, rear yards and courts, such that the potential impacts from spray drift, dust, odors, and noise intrusion are minimized. C. The design and construction of all habitable buildings, including window and door locations, should be such that the potential impact of spray drift, noise, dust, and odors upon interior living/working areas will be minimized. 7 Page 25 of 29 d. Physical separation between agricultural lands and urban development shall be utilized to the greatest extent possible to minimize adverse impacts. Site design emphasizing the appropriate use of open space areas, streets, and areas not designed specifically for public recreation or assembly shall be considered. B) The City and County mutually agree herewith that the buffering standards established by the Jackson County Regional Plan and adopted by the City of Central Point have or can and will be met, prior to annexation or urban development of lands. C) The City and County mutually agree to involve affected Irrigation Districts prior to annexation or when contemplating urban development of lands. 12, The City, County, and other affected agencies shall coordinate the expansion and development of all urban facilities and services within the urbanization area. Additionally: A) Provisions for urban facilities and services shall be planned in a manner limiting duplication in an effort to provide greater efficiency and economy of operation. B) A single urban facility or service extended into the urbanizable area must be coordinated with the planned future development of all other facilities and services appropriate to that area, and shall be provided at levels necessary for expected uses, as designated in the City's Comprehensive Plan. 13. All County road construction and reconstruction resulting from new development, redevelopment, or land division, in the urbanizable area shall be to urban standards, except that the term "reconstruction" does not include normal road maintenance by the County. 14. Except for URAs, no other land or non -municipal improvements located outside the Urban Growth Boundary shall be permitted to connect to the water line serving Erickson unless it is first included in the Urban Growth Boundary or a "reasons" exception is taken to applicable Statewide Land Use Planning Goals which allows such connection. The owners of such benefited property must sign an irrevocable consent to annex to the City of Central Point. AMENDMENTS AND CORRECTIONS TO THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY The procedure for joint City and County review and amendment of urban growth boundary and urbanization policies are established as follows: M. Page 26 of 29 MAJOR REVISIONS Major revisions in boundary or policies will be considered amendments to both the City and County comprehensive plans and, as such, are subject to a legislative review process. A major revision shall include any boundary change that has widespread and significant impact beyond the immediate area, such as quantitative changes allowing for substantial changes in population or significant increases in resource impacts; qualitative changes in the land use itself, such as conversion of residential to industrial use, or spatial changes that affect large areas of many different ownerships. Any change in urbanization policies is considered a major revision. Major revisions will be considered by the City and County at periodic intervals in accordance with the terms of the mutually adopted urban growth boundary agreements between the County and each municipal jurisdiction. It is the intent of the governing bodies to review the urban growth boundary and urbanization policies for consistency upon completion of the City and County Comprehensive Plans. A request for major revision can be initiated only by the County or City governing bodies or their respective planning commissions. Individuals, groups, citizen advisory committees, and affected agencies may petition the County or appropriate City in accordance with the procedural guidelines adopted by the jurisdiction for initiating major legislative amendments. The party who seeks the revision shall be responsible for filing adequate written documentation with the City and County governing bodies. Final legislative action on major revision requests shall be based on the factors stated in each mutually adopted urban growth boundary agreement. Generally these are: A) Demonstrated need to accommodate unpredicted population trends, to satisfy urban housing needs, or to assure adequate employment opportunities; B) The orderly and economic provision of public facilities and services; C) Maximum efficiency of land uses within the current urbanizable area; D) Environmental, energy, economic and social consequences; E) Compatibility of the proposed change with other elements of the City and County comprehensive plans; and, F) The other statewide planning goals. r7 Page 27 of 29 Major revision proposals shall be subject to a mutual City and County review and agreement process involving affected agencies, citizen advisory committees, and the general public. The review process has the following steps: A) CAC and planning commissions review and make recommendations to the City Council and Board of County Commissioners; B) Proposal mailed to the affected agencies and property owners; and, C) Proposal heard and acted upon by City Council and Board of County Commissioners. MINOR BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENTS Minor adjustments to an urban growth boundary line may be considered subject to similar procedures used by the City and County in hearing zoning requests. A minor amendment is defined as focusing on specific individual properties and not having significant impacts beyond the immediate area of the change. Application for a minor boundary line amendment can only be made by property owners, their authorized agents, or by a City or County governing body. Written applications for amendments may be filed in the office of the Jackson County Department of Planning and Development on forms prescribed by the County. The standards for processing an application are as indicated in the mutually adopted urban growth boundary agreement. Generally these are the same factors as for a major urban growth boundary amendment. CORRECTION OF ERRORS A. An error is generally considered to be a cartographic mistake, or a misprint, omission, or duplication in the text. They are technical in nature and not the result of new information or changing attitudes or policies. B. If the City Council and Board of County Commissioners become aware of an error in the map(s) or text of this mutually -adopted urbanization program, both bodies may cause an immediate amendment to correct the error, after mutual agreement is reached. C. Corrections shall be made by ordinance, following a public hearing conducted by both governing bodies, but hearings before the planning commissions shall not be required when an amendment is intended specifically to correct an error. REVIEW, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT 10 Page 28 of 29 A. This Agreement may be reviewed and amended at any time by mutual consent of both parties, after public hearings by the Council and the Board of Commissioners. B. Any modifications to this Agreement will be consistent with City and County comprehensive plans and state law. C. Staff from City and County will attempt to informally resolve any disputes regarding the terms, conditions, or meaning of this Agreement. For any disputes not resolved through this informal process, the Council and the BOC will meet jointly in an attempt to resolve those disputes. Either party may request the services of a mediator to resolve any dispute. D. This Agreement may be terminated by either party subsequent to dissolution of a URA or an Area of Mutual Planning Concern. Such termination shall proceed through a properly noticed public hearing process. This agreement supersedes the prior agreement between the parties on the same subject matter approved by the County on , 20, and by the City on .20 CITY OF CENTRAL POINT Hank Williams, Mayor ATTEST: City Administrator DATE JACKSON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Doug Breidenthal, Chair DATE APPROVED AS TO FORM: County Counsel ATTEST: Recording Secretary 11 Page 29 of 29
