AGENDA ITEM V-A
Public Hearing,Land Use Element(working draft),City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan(File No. CPA-
17003)(Applicant: City of Central Point)
STAFF SOURCE:
Don Burt,Planning Manager
BACKGROUND:
At the December 5, 2017 meeting staff introduced to the Planning Commission a working draft of the Land Use
Element. After discussion the Planning Commission directed staff to schedule a public hearing to gather input on
the Working Draft of the Land Use Element.
Attached is a draft of the Land Use Element. The Land-Use Element consists of two parts;the text and the map.
The text addresses the purpose and scope of each land use classification,including issues and land use distribution
by acreage. The text also sets forth the City's goals and policies for the management of its land use system. The
actual use of land by classification is maintained in the Buildable Lands Inventory(BLI),which tracts land usage
over time. The BLI is an adjunct document to the Land Use Element. The BLI is maintained and updated with
each application for land development.
The purpose of the Plan Map is to assign a specific land use to each property within the City's urban area(city
limits plus UGB). The land use designations are primarily based on current allocations,and the findings from
other Comprehensive Plan elements such as the Regional Plan,Housing,Economic, Parks and Recreation, etc.
A prior version of the working draft of the Land Use Element has been reviewed by the Citizen's Advisory
Committee(CAC),with a favorable recommendation to the Planning Commission. Since the CAC meeting staff
has continued refining the working draft per the CAC discussion.
The text,goals,and policies of the Land Use Element have been modified/updated to reflect changes in policy
since the last Land Use Element was amended in 1983.Those changes fall into three categories:
9ti Changes needed to reflect prior land use activity. These changes are primarily driven by prior actions
that affected land use goals and policies that are not consistent with the current Land Use Element. Most
of these changes are policy related to the rezoning of lands along the west side of the railroad tracks
(Twin Creeks)from industrial to residential.
Page 1 of 4
r
❖ Changes necessitated by recent policy. These changes primarily relate to residential land uses and the
need to adjust the minimum density requirements of the Regional Plan Element and Housing Element.
❖ Changes that are recommended to provide more flexibility in the land use process.These changes
are related primarily to the commercial lands and are intended to provide a broader purpose base allowing
for more flexibility in responding to structural changes in the commercial sector of the economy.
For the most part the Map is little changed from the existing Map,but there are some changes that need to be
noted and discussed.The Map discussion will focus on four areas of change:
❖ Changes addressing mapping errors.
o Previously approved changes to the land use map were either not mapped or were mapped
incorrectly.These inconsistencies have been corrected on the proposed land use map. Examples
include:
• The McDowell property on Snowy Butte Road shown as R-1-6,but that was designated
R-3 by ordinance several years ago;
■ The McDonald's parking lot currently designated as High Density Residential that should
be Community Commercial to align with the use; and,the School District baseball fields
on Upton Road currently designated Very Low Density and should be Civic; and
• The Central Point School District property off Upton Road currently designated Very
Low Density Residential and should be Civic.
Solution: Correct the oversights
Changes proposed by others.
o Presently there are land use changes that are being considered by private landowners with specific
development interests,including the following:
• Craig Nelson(Freeman Road), -Wants to designate the high density residential along
Freeman and Bigham to Community Commercial.
• Gutches(Vilas Road)—Wants to designate Low Density Residential to High Density
Residential.
Solution:the proposed changes are not at issue pending completion of a transportation impact
analysis TLA)by the property owners This must be accomplished prior to finalization of any
change in land use. The property owners have been notified of the TLA requirement
❖ Changes needing to be addressed due to changing conditions
o TOD Overlay.The current land use map provides a designation for the TOD Corridor and TOD
District but does not identify the underlying land use categories,but instead rely on a master plan.
The proposed changes uses in the TOD as an overlay rather than a specific land use classification.
The proposed land use designations align with currently established zoning categories.
Solution:Apply TOD as an Overlay district
o Future Land Use Study Area. There is currently a Commercial Medical(C-2M)zone that
initially was intended as a hospital zone. A large part of the area is owned by Asante and they
have no interest in developing it for medical purposes.At this time staff does not have a solution
and recommends that this area be studied in the future to determine the appropriate land use
designation and corresponding zoning district.
Solution:Defer action and direct that staff study the area for land use alternatives. This
Page 2 of 4
recommendation should be reflected as a specific goal of the Land Use Element.
o R-3 Lands and mobile home parks. A considerable percentage of the R-3 (HRes)lands have
been developed at densities averaging 6 units per gross acre.The R-3 zoning district has a
minimum density requirement of 14 units per net acre.At the time of development the R-3
district did not have a minimum required density. Mobile home parks were only allowed in the R-
3 district. The mobile home parks that were developed in the R3 district were developed at a
density of
Solution:Defer action and direct that staff study the area for land use alternatives. This
recommendation should be reflected as a specific goal of the Land Use Element..
❖ Changes to the Commercial District. It is proposed that the C-4 title"Tourist and Office Professional"
be redefined eliminating the"Tourist"reference.The current reference to tourism as the primary purpose
of this land use classification unnecessarily restricts the flexibility in allowing a broader range of
commercial development projects.
ISSUES:
The primary issues to be discussed at the meeting will be map related as noted above,with specific attention
being given to changes due to"Changing Conditions".
1. Use of a TOD overlay vs. an actual land use should be of no consequence considering that the use of the
TOD overlay accomplishes the same design objectives unique to a TOD development, i.e.pedestrian
scale and walkability and transit service.
2. Future Land Use Study Area,specifically the C-2(M)district,is definitely a discussion item with no
immediate resolution,other than state as a goal.
3. R-3 Lands and mobile home parks issue,like the C-2(M)issue warrants further review before any action.
ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment"A!'—Working Draft of Land Use Element
ACTION:
Open public hearing,take testimony and:
1. Continue public hearing to the February 6,2018 meeting;
2. Close public hearing and direct staff to forward to the City Council a favorable recommendation
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct Staff to make changes as discussed and forward a favorable recommendation to the City Council.

1. Introduction
The purpose of the Land Use Element is to:
• Allocate land uses within the City's urban area; and
• Track activity in the Buildable Lands Inventory(BLI)for compliance with associated goals
and policies identified in related Comprehensive Plan elements; i.e. the Housing Element,
Economic Element, Parks and Recreation Element,Transportation System Plan,etc.
The Land Use Element does not determine how much of a particular land us*is needed only where
that land use will be sited and how it will be managed to achieve the City's cop4vehesive land use
goals and policies.
The Land Use Element introduces the concept of urban design as an objtive+t the CWprehensive
Plan. As used in the Land Use Element the term"urban design"refect to the gmis*us consideration
of the physical relationship between land use classification that promote the City's perceived
livability and"small town"atmosphere goals.
The Land Use Element is comprised of two parts;the text(Text),and he Land Use Plan Map(Map).
• The Text component addresses the pqWse and scdo q(tach land use classification,
including issues and land use distribWion l y acreage.The Text also contains the City's
goals and policies for the rnaname land use system.
The current,and actual,use+Mand is rpain* 4. the Buildable Lands Inventory(BLI),
which tracts livid usage o time The BLI is adjunct document to the Land Use
Element.The is waintarncd on a continual basis as applications for land development
are received. ,
• The Mai idenfiis the spatial distribution of all lands in the City's urban area and
desig*Oes e*4 phVerty with a specific land use classification. As previously noted the
a ouat of land Withifi each land use category is determined by other Comprehensive Plan
ef�pent�.
' apddidou tip dated Comprehensive Plan elements the Land Use Element is guided by four(4)
docmWuts`0 foffo t►s:
I
1.1. Buildable Lands Inventory
The Buildable Lands Inventory(BLI)is an adjunct document to the Land Use Element.The BLI
tracks all land use activity in the City's urban area as changes occur.Annually,the BLI produces the
following tables tracking land use changes:
• Land use percentage benchmarks by land use classification;
• Land use benchmark by 1,000 population
• Changes in the vacant land inventory;
Page 4 of 33 j
z
• Housing and employment in activity centers(mixed use/pedestrian friendly areas).
Monitoring of the BLI will determine the need and timing to add more land to the UGB per the needs
assessment of such Comprehensive Plan Elements as Housing, Economic,and the Parks and
Recreation, etc.
1.2. State Land Use Guidelines
The purpose of the State land use guidelines is "To establish a land use policy
framework and factual basis for all land use decisions and actions corn 'stent*M
related elements of the Comprehensive Plan."The states land use progt jw4uhu that
all land use plans include identification of issues and problems,inventori t*nd other
factual information for each applicable statewide planning goal,evalp ipn of* in
e
courses of action and ultimate policy choices,taking into considerari sial, eC }omic,
energy and environmental needs.
City,county, state and federal agency and special actioie� .ted to
land use shall be consistent with the comprehens 'lans o ' 'es"id counties and
regional plans adopted under ORS Chapter 268.The _ uired '�g
u'> ama*n shall be
contained in the either the Land Use Element or in supe( ting dements.
The accomplishment of the above required Olki3pation is died to the various
elements of the City's Comprehensive Play;The nd Use Element is responsible for
managing and mapping the land use ofst ,� escribed in other
Comprehensive Plan elemes. _e s ement will generally be
predicated on changes in relAio el, iso G{ci q�re nsive Plan.
1.3.Central Point Fo dPA' ' ide Strategic Plan
The City maintains gate purpose of which is to envision a preferred future for the
City and to ". . .,fo to a w make this future happen through community teamwork and
actio . It is 4 k nl` tt records what people think—the blueprint for positive change that
defin ce on, 904,antioutcomes that must occur to realize the future."'The community's
si
on, siotjd vats as set forth in the Strategic Plan serve as the foundation of the
he ve Aw- luding this Land Use Element.The guidance provided by the Vision
ed forward in the Land Use Element is to maintain a". . .small town
ent feel that promotes community pride, safety, and friendliness"and the value of
pl far growth ". . . that will retain our small town atmosphere".
1.3.1.City Mission Statement
The City's mission statement reads as follows:
"it is the mission of the City of Central Point to build and maintain a highly livable
community by working in harmony and being a catalyst for partnership with all the
members of the community,public and private."
City of Central Pont Strategic Plan,pp.3,May 24,2007,Resolution No.1143,

r
1.3.2.City Statement of Values
The Vision Plan contains a set of four values as follows:
• Growth: We value planned growth that will retain our small town atmosphere.
o Managed Growth &Infrastructure, Goal 2-Maintain City of Central
Point's small town feel and family orientation even as we grow.
• Public Safety: We value a professional service oriented public safety policy that
promotes a sense of safety and security in our city.
• Transportation: We value a system of transportation and infrastructure that is
modern, efficient and sensitive to the environment.
• Community: We value a clean and attractive city with parks,open space and
recreational opportunities.
• Service: We provide the highest level of service possible in the'awst epciew
responsible manner.
It is important that these values be repeatedly acknowledged and applied as the foundation for
crafting the goals and policies in all elements of t1W prd%Wsive Phi.
1.4. The Regional Plan Element
As previously noted the City's Comprehensivq Plan elemeiks nest be consistent with any
applicable regional plan. In 2012 the City aofopW a Regionat Element2 establishing Urban
Reserve Areas(URAs)in accordance with Ccqnty's Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional
Plan. The purpose of the Regional P1*ftcme4tR#ftess the City's long-term land needs to
the year 2060.The City's Rdional) .n El`e nt a abhsjed eight(8)URAs,which when
combined total 1,721 acres for future to by theCity. 'i&n the URAs land uses were assigned
based on very broad t tegor*;Resoent*,,Aggregate,Resource,Open Space/Parks,and
Employment.The Rej A44 n Electieat does not spatially allocated the land use types,but it
does require that C tb developed and adopted prior to inclusion of a URA,or any
part thereof,into the'&y's urbo growth boundary(UGB)4.The Concept Plans are required to
identify regio ca�tl ant transportation corridors and identify how land uses will be
spatia*dist uted,4*Ah Aemphasis on the encouragement of mixed uselpedestrian friendly
Weass.'lie Crept Plus,when approved, are a part of the Regional Plan Element.At such
t tas lai&with "URA are added to the UGB the concept plans are further refined
conssteht w*the level of land use descriptions set forth in the Land Use Element; and,upon
lu*n to OW UGB then become part of the Land Use Element. The Land Use Element does
not fftkode lands within the URA.

2. Direction of Growth
The long-term direction of growth for the City is best described in the Regional Plan Element and its
accompanying Concept Plans.The Regional Plan Element established eight(8)urban reserve areas
(Figure 2.1)into which the City will grow between now and 2060.These urban reserve areas(URAs)
have been pre-approved for inclusion in the City's urban growth boundaryb,subject to demonstrated
need and availability of infrastructure.

development will be distributed throughout the
URAs per the Regional Plan allocations and
~ -� - concept plans.
The relationship be
cl,en t*Aegionlan Element and the Land Use Element is one of timing.
When themed is opet le ,strated then land within the URAs can be brought into the UGB.
The timing moon to*U will be a function of demonstrated need and the ability to develop
to u an ids,A14 to the City in a timely manner.
3. La", nd Jrban Form
The Regional_, ,r ntroduces two mandatory land use benchmarks; a minimum density requirement and
performance indicators.The density and performance indicators will affect the City's future urban form
as lands in the URAs are brought into the UGB and annexed to the City.With the increase in density and
the mandatory Performance Indicators it is both timely and appropriate to introduce the basic elements of
urban form/design,particularly as it applies to intensification of residential land uses,and the physical
relationship between differing land uses and transportation. As used in this Land Use Element the term
"urban form/design"refers the general pattern of use,building height and development intensity and the
structural elements that define the City physically,such as natural features,transportation corridors, open
space,public facilities,as well as activity centers and other community focal elements. The introduction
'ORS
Page 7 of 33
of urban form/design is not intended as the answer to good urban form/design,but it is intended to
provide a basic awareness and a palette from which good urban form/design can evolve.
3.1. Activity Centers.
An important consideration related to urban form/design and the Regional Plan's performance
indicators is the concept of activity centers.As used in this Land Use Element the term"activity
center"is interchangeable with the term Transit-Oriented/Mixed-Use Pedestrian-Friendly areas. Both
terms represent the development of a place(s)that encourage higher density mixed-use environments
that are neighborhood oriented and designed to increase the convenience of vvalki ,bicycling, and
transit.The concept of activity centers is a key component to the City's sucdM in the retention and
creation of neighborhoods and community identity necessary to support the City's small twn
atmosphere',and ultimately creates an environment that supports transit UM
As used in the Land Use Element there are two types of activity cens;the center that serves
a residential neighborhood; and activity center that serves broadW commnaity's retail and service
needs. As used in the Land Use Element activity cent, :',.e
• Areas of development that contribute to achieving 111*,-use,p*stri�rl friendly development,
that is vertically or horizontally supports mixed-use;
• Neighborhood commercial/employment cen em,'
• Parks and schools; and
ktA.
• Downtown areas/central businew dist del.
Benefits of activity centers incl' *19
• Greater housing va ' and ;-wore affordable housing(smaller units),including life-cycle
housing(starter horne*Ip larger' es to senior housing)
• Reduce dishes berween Musing,workplaces,retail businesses, and other amenities and
destinatE�s;
•
Mdft cvv development, land-use synergy(e.g.residents provide customers for retail which
provide aces for residents);
• Strom >$,eighborhood character,sense of place;and
• Walkable,bikeable neighborhoods,increased accessibility via transit,both resulting in reduced
transportation costs
Currently,the City has 12 activity centers as represented in Figure 3.1. As the city grows into the
URA's additional activity centers will be needed to service both residential neighborhoods and the
retail and employment needs of the community.

3.2. Performance Indicators
The Regional Plan Element established performance indicators as a means to measure the compliance
with the objectives of the Regional Plan.There are eight(8)performance indicators that,via the Regional
Plan Element,apply to the Land Use Element:
3.2.1.Performance Indicator, Committed Residential Density
(4.1.5).
Land within a URA and land currently within an Urban Growth Boundary(Ut3B)outside of the
existing City Limit shall be built,at a minimum,to the residential density of 6.9 gelling units
per gross acre(2010-2035),and 7.9 dwelling units per gross acre(2036-2060).This requirement
can be offset by increasing the residential density in the city limit.
Prior(4.1.5.1)to annexation each city shall establish(or,if they(;cist alr shalt adjust)
minimum densities in each of its residential zones such that if 0,1 eas b d d*to the minimum
allowed the committed density shall be met. This shAin i"*nditioift proval of a UGB
amendment.
3.2.2.Performance Indicator, MiXed-UsPecstrian Friendly Areas
For land within a URA and for land currently wit a UGB but outside of the existing City
Limit,each city shall achieve the 20**C t for the number of dwelling units
(Alternative Measure No. 9%) em Alt' " tive Measure No. 6)(48%)in
mixed-use/pedestrian-friendly I s tab 09 Regional Transportation Plan
(RTP)or most rec a nd e yew 020,cities shall continue to achieve the
2020 benchmark targ ddit 1 hmark years are established,cities shall achieve the
targets correspondin lica benchmarks. Measurement and definition of qualified
development shall ac
µ h adopted RTP methodology.The requirement is
considered met if th `0 or th on overall is achieving the targets or minimum
qualificati greater.This requirement can be offset by increasing the percentage
ofd kingg its an oyment in the City Limit. This requirement is applicable to all
participftngtes.
3.2.3.Performance Indicator, Conceptual Transportation Plan
Conceptwl transportation plans shall be prepared early enough in the planning and development
cycle that the identified regionally significant transportation corridors within each of the URA's
can be protected as cost-effectively as possible by available strategies and funding. A conceptual
transportation plan for a URA,or appropriate portion of a URA shall be prepared by the city in
collaboration with the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization,applicable irrigation
districts,Jackson County,and other affected agencies,and shall be adopted by Jackson County
and the respective city prior to or in conjunction with a UGB amendment within that URA; and
Transportation Infrastructure(4.1.7.1).The conceptual transportation plan shall identify a
general network of regionally significant arterials under local jurisdiction,transit corridors,bike
Page 10 of 33
and pedestrian paths,and associated projects to provide mobility throughout the region
(including intercity and intercity,if applicable).
3.2.4.Performance Indicator, Conceptual Land Use Plan (4.1.8)
A proposal for UGB amendments into a designated URA shall include a Conceptual Land Use
Plan prepared by the city in collaboration with Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning
Organization,applicable irrigation districts,Jackson County,and other affected agencies for the
area proposed to be added to the UGB as follows:
3.2.5.Target Residential Density (4.1.8.1).
The Conceptual Land Use Plan shall provide sufficient informatiol7 taf emo ' how
the residential densities of section 4.1.5 above will be met at*4%Wdott Qf the area
added to the UGB amendment.
3.2.6.Land Use Distribution (4.1.8.4
The Conceptual Land Use Plan shall indicati� w the p*sat is consistent with the
general distribution of land uses in the Regionaf 1! n,esially where a specific set of
land uses were part of the rationale fqf4 ignated I Mich was determined by the
Resource Lands Review committees be ijmmercial agricultural land as part of a URA,

As a result of p' changes and/or changes in the underlying economy a community's use of land
varies over time. Knowing the extent of these changes is an important land use tool for measuring policy
implementation and economic growth.There are four(4)basic methods of tracking land use that will be
used in this Land Use Element:
1. The percentage of a land use classification(developed and vacant)to the total of all land use
categories;
Page 11 of 33
2. Gross acres per 1,000 population by land use category and total(developed and vacant)of all
land use categories;
3. Percentage of dwelling units located in an activity center;and
4. Percentage of employment located in an activity center.
The first two measures are typically used for tracking purposes only,unless specifically incorporated by
policy reference. As an example,in Table 4.1 the 1980 Industrial land use category targeted 13%for the
City's industrial needs by the year 2000.By 2017 the actual percentage of indugnal acreage was 9%.
What does this mean?Since there were no policies targeting a minimum percente fgi'itustrial lands,
the only explanation was that over time the City converted 4%of its industrial lance tta other uses.
Table 4.1 also illustrates the changes in the two benchmarks for the planninWperiod 1980''�2000,2017
(current),and the planning period 2018—2038. Since the 1980 Land Usa Elemerris W"completed the City
has more intensely used its land. This intensification is illustrated in Tahoe 4.1 wheal measured in acres
per 1,000 residents. In 1980 it was estimated that the City yIWd ne ,17 t 40al acres per 1,000 residents.
By 2017 the population benchmark(when measured against veloped sreag)was 152 acres per 1,000
residents.By the end of the 2018—2038 planning period that ratio is exp*Aed to be 145 acres per 1,000
population; a 15%increase in development intensity froml980.
Benchmarks 3 and 4 track the amount of residential bousAolds,and employment in activity centers as
required by the Regional Plans Performance In4-.,ator.4J

S. Curre 1 017) Land Use Summary
The City of Cent #Point was incorporated in 1889,and had an estimated population of 500. Over the
years the City has grown concentrically around its original core area,with Hwy. 99 and Pine Street
serving as the north/south and east/west axis.
The City's previous Land Use Element was completed in 1983 covering an urban area of 2,736.83 acres,
and it was expected that the City's urban area was sufficient in size to accommodate a population of
16,000 by the year 2000. By the end of 2017 the City's urban area accounted for approximately 3,000
acres of which 2,679 acres were classified as developed.
Page 12 of 33
Since 1983 the most noticeable change in land use was due to changes in the Industrial and Residential
land use classifications.This was the result of land use changes in 2003 allowing for the Twin Creeks
TOD.At that time the lands currently occupied by the Twin Creeks TOD was designated for industrial
use and needed to be changed to residential use to accommodate the Twin Creeks project.This change
was off-set by changes in the southeast quadrant of the city from Residential to Industrial land use.Table
4.1 identifies and compares the City's current land use distribution based on the 1983 Land Use Element
to year 2000,current land use for 2017,and projected land use needs to 20388.
The other noticeable change in Table 5.1 was in the Civic classification from a projected 7%of total land
area to 4%by 2017.This reduction was the result of changes in accounting met rlolV for civic land
uses. The current figure is based on lands actually designated as Civic use on th&",t90 Plan Map and
account for such public uses as schools,libraries,and misc. government uses.Therossher 1983 number
was based on an accounting of all"civic"uses such as churches,private scho*-, aterriql organization,

Table 6.2 identifies the distribution of the different land uses by net acreage for the current planning
period(2018 to 2038). In Table 6.2 the additional 300 acres represent lands within the current URA that
need to be brought into the City's UGB. As previously noted the acreages and their land use distribution
are based on the needs established in such other elements as Housing(residential lands),Economic
(commercial and industrial lands),Parks,etc.Figure 7.1 (Land Use Map)represents the spatial
distribution of all land as defined in the Land Use Element,less what is shown in Table 6..2 as additional

6.1. Residential „altd Use
The City's residential lan = es52%of the City's total urban land area and represents the
largest single land use c it lcatiA,,f or a City the size of Central Point such a high percentage
residential repres is'l�oricalfy typical(after adjusting for private sector civic uses). The next
largest is Might-of=Way aWo'obillowed by Industrial at 9%.
The purpose ofthe resider land use classification is to maintain an adequate supply of buildable
land at ies a d housing types sufficient to accommodate the City's projected housing needs as
set forth iu the Naming Element. The Housing Element identifies not only the residential acreage
needed the planning period,but also the acreage distribution by density category and range of
housing types.;
Historically,the primary challenge in administering the residential land use classifications was the
reliance on maximum densities,rather than the achievement of minimum densities.The prior Land
Use Element established maximum density as a goal,with the assumption that the private sector
would construct, if not at the maximum density,then surely close to it. In 1983,based on the City's
range of maximum allowed densities,the average density for new development should have been 11
dwelling units per gross acre. Between 1980 and 2016 the actual average built density was 4.7
dwelling units per gross acre. In 2006 the City amended its Zoning Ordinance establishing minimum
Page 14 of 33
density provisions and maximum density. Residential development post 2006 increased to 5.6 units
per gross acre.
Although impacted by the Great Recession,and a heavy emphasis on multiple-family construction,
the built density between 2006 and 2017 was 5.6 dwelling units per gross acre,a significant
improvement over the prior twenty years.Moving forward(2018-2038)it is planned,in both the
Regional Plan Element and the Housing Element, that the minimum density for all new development
will be 6.9 dwellings per gross acre,or greater.
The residential densities presented in the Land Use Element are based on t1wdensiW ambles in the
Housing Element. The minimum and maximum lot sizes identified in the L*d Uses ent,and the
Housing Element,are suggestions only,and not mandatory. The minimum an4 I*ximus lot sizes are
set by the Zoning Ordinance,and can be adjusted from time-to-time,provided ih( omplkW*h the

6.2. Residential Land Use Classifi
Since 1980 residential lands have accounted for a., matelyQ%of ill developed lands within
the City. Over the next 20 years it is projected that th8*Wdentia.LJ erceiitage of the City's land
inventory will remain at approximately 50%. OR,.a populffGbp bi the ratio of population to
acres was initially planned in 1980 at 80:1,090 res per I -residents). By the year 2000 the
actual ratio was 80:1,0009. Seven years lat (2010 the ratio was 83:1,000. By 2038,with the
mandated minimum density it is exp 00.

6.2.1.Very Low Density Residential (VLRes)
The purpose of the VLRes classification is to encourage, accommodate,maintain and protect a
suitable environment for residential living at very low densities on lands that are impacted by
environmental constraints, or agricultural buffering needs.The VLRes classification was initially
established to act as a buffer between both the industrial areas to the east and the agricultural
lands to the west.The VLRes classification was previously identified as Farm-Residential.
As a percentage of the City's residential lands inventory it accounts for slightly over I%.Today
the reliance on buffering from agricultural use has been mitigated by implemtation of
agricultural buffering standards 10,reducing the reliance on the VLRes c ssificA*n as the sole
solution to agricultural buffering strategy.However,the VLRes classifica lis s a viable
option to agricultural buffering,and in environmentally sensitive lands, said 8&flood bWatd
areas and wet lands,where larger lots will facilitate buffering mitigate.
The VLRes land use classification is supported by the Residential Low Density(R-L)zoning
district.The minimum and maximum allowed densities and general lot size ranges are illustrated
in Table 6.2.The reference to minimum and maximum lot size is not mandatory,but advisory.
The setting of minimum and maximum lot size is the responsibility of the City's Zoning
Ordinance,provided that the minim and maximum density is compliant with the Housing
Element.

6.2.3.Medium Density Residential (MRes)
As its name implies this land use classification supports medium density housing. The MRes
classification's preferred location is within 1/2 mile of activity centers and/or transit facilities.
The MRes classification allows for a mix of detached and attached dwe#ng both owner
and renter occupied, subject to compliance with the minimum and maxii*m
requirements in Table 6.4.The MRes designation covers two zoning distr the R-2 and the
LMR districts. The LMR district is performance based zoning district appy to all new
development within the UGB.The R-2 district applies to older areas bf th" 'y tlt.are already

district is typically in the older areas of the City and were developed under older standards,while
the MMR HMR are applied to new development within the UGB,TOD and CBD overlay. The
HMR district is the City's highest density residential zoning district,which was initially reserved
for use in the TOD district/corridor,but is now allowed outside the TOD district/corridor per the
Land Use Plan Map(Figure 6.1).

City's Zoning Ordinance,which may be modified from time-to-time provided they
comply with the applicable densities set forth in the Housing Element for each associated

6.7. Minimum/Maximum Density Calculation
The range of residential units allowed within any particular zoning district can be calculated
by taking the gross acreage(43,560 sq. ft.per gross acre)less any areas proposed for public
Page 19 of 33
parks/open space, civic uses and environmental lands (SFHA and designated wetlands)as
that term is defined in the Land Use Element Environmental Overlay discussion(Section 7).
Below are two examples of how to calculate the minimum/maximum density for the all
residential zoning districts.
Example 1: Property is 2.5 gross acres within the R-1-8 zoning district(min.5 units/gross acre).
No proposed acreage deductions for Environmental,public parks/open space,or civic uses.
Gross acreage equals 2.5 acres
Minimum required density 5 units/gross acre.
Maximum allowed density 6 units/gross acre.
2.5*5=12 minimum number of dwelling units.
2.5*6=15 maximum number of dwelling units.
Allowed Density Range for the property: 12 to I3 units.
Example 2:Property is 2.5 acres within the R-1-8 ming dWct(S units/grtt§s acre).There is
0.75 acres designated for public parks/open space aid 0.25 acrfs for Alourch and 0.25 acres
within the floodway(exempt acreage)for an adjusted taut gross wreage of 1.25.
Gross acreage equals 2.5 acrq#vainus 1.25 a> 5-((exempt acreage)= 1.25 acres
Minimum required density S unitg>per gross acre.

The designatioh of Civic lands,as with parks and open space,predominantly responds to residential
development. Similar to the provision to adjust residential lands for park and open space
development,when civic uses,such as churches,develop within the Residential land use
classification,then the residential lands must be appropriately adjusted to accommodate the loss in
acreage. As civic use are developed then the Land Use Element must be amended to reflect the
change, and the underlying land use corrected

6.7.3.Environmental Lands.
Throughout the City there are lands that are developmentally encumbered as a result of flooding or
other environmental constraints.The presence of environmental constraints is maintained in the BLI
and for development purposes is deducted from the gross acre figure for any given property.
6.8. Residential Goals and Policies:
Residential Goal 1:To ensure a high degree of livability and environmental quality in all
residential areas of Central Point.
Residential Goal 2:To support a well-balanced variety of residential dens�ies and housing
opportunities/types for all residents of the community as defined in the Housing Element.
Residential Goal 3:To support a greater distribution of housingf4r00rtu*06W by providing for a
variety of housing densities and types throughout the City,pard e larly is order to avoid
undesirable and inefficient concentrations of housi ty*a%d saMpents 6hhe population in any

Residentl Policy 3: In areas where residential neighborhoods abut commercial or industrial
areas,orient the residential structures and local streets away from these land uses to avoid any
undesirable views and to strengthen neighborhood solidarity.
Residential Policy 4: In any area where development of one or more parcels may create obstacles
to development of others,require the initial developer to develop a specific plan that would
provide for the future development of the entire area,including the provision of adequate access
to potentially landlocked properties.

7. Employment Land Use
The Employment land use category is comprised of six(6)supporting land use classifications
addressing the City's land use needs for commercial,office, and industrial acreage. The City has a
2017 inventory of 511 acres within the urban area designated for employment purposes. Based on the
findings of the Economic Element it is estimated that by the year 2033 the City will have a need for
10 to 20 additional gross acres 14,or 13 acres per 1,000 residents of employment lands to meet its
2033 year growth projection. The Economic Element was based on the assumption that by 2033 the
population would be 27,410.Portland State University Population Research Center's 15 official
forecast for 2033,at 22,257,was considerably lower, and that by 2038 it wqWd be;3,290.Because
the 2038 population projection does not exceed the Economic Element's 204-3 p 'on projection
the estimated demand of 10—20 additional acres for employment purposes w lie used fpr the 2018
—2038 planning period.

7.2. Commercial Land Use Plan
The City's commercial land use plan is based on the Economic Element's analysis of commercial,
office,and tourist needs of the community for the planning period(2013-33). At the time the
Economic Element was completed(2013)the City's commercial lands account for 8%(235 acres)of
the City's total land inventory. At 8%of the total land area the population to commercial land use
ratio was 13 acres of commercial land for every 1,000 population by the year 2033.This ratio remains
consistent with the standard adopted in the 1983 Land Use Element,and is supported by the
Economic Element which notes that there are sufficient commercial lands within the current urban
area to address future commercial land needs to meet the 2033 population.
However,not all of the commercial lands are effectively distributed to serve tlw needs f 4n expanding
UGB.As the urban area expands into the URA there will be a logistical need for additional
commercial lands that exceed the benchmarks. From an urban design perspective the will be a need
for additional commercial lands to serve growing neighborhood needs outside$e curreft UGB is
warranted as activity centers to serve existing and new neighborhog.
The Land Use Plan includes three(3)commercial land' e class tib,;
7.2.1.Neighborhood Commercial--INC).
Neighborhood Commercial,provides fortl neighborhood convenience retail and services
needs of adjacent residential neighborhoo.0s. TO assure that Neighborhood Commercial
districts are sized to service nei

limited to approximately 3-5 ad with I typic(serviQe area of 3 miles.The NC district shall
be located along collector aiWor a*r al sti*s a esigned to complement the retail and
service needs of aottingside7liial nekhborhoods. The design of this commercial district
shall be at a scale aXAWP tecturai-tkaracter complements and is functionally compatible
with the neighbw od a '. es pedestrian and bicycle convenience.
Currently,*Am are*ree(3)W districts in the City,three(3)on the west side approx. 1 acre
in size,and one(!),on the east side, approx. 7 acres in size.
7.2.2� Joyment Commercial (EC).
Thi&classification is designed to accommodate a wide variety of retail,service,and
affice uses in an environment that is pedestrian oriented in scale and amenities and
Sports pedestrian,bicycle,and transit use. Residential uses above the ground floor are
encouraged.
The EC land use designation replaces the prior Tourist and Office-Professional
classification.

7.2.3.General Commercial (GC).
The GC classification is designed to accommodate commercial,business, and light
industrial uses that are most appropriately located along or near major highways or
arterials and are largely dependent of highway visibility and access. The GC land use
designation replaces the prior Thoroughfare Commercial classification.
7.2.4.Commercial Development Goals and Policies
Commercial Goal 1: To create an economically strong and balanced commercial sector of the
community that is easily accessible,attractive, and meets the commercial needs of do local market
area.
Commercial Goal 2: Continue to pursue implementation of the Downtotai apd EastPine Street

7. Intrial Land Use Plan
It was ed in the 1980 Land Use Plan that a typical city in Oregon similar in size to Central
Point hada imately 15 acres of industrial land per 1,000 residents. At that time the City's
industrial lands inventory accounted for only 4.1 acres per 1,000 residents.Today(2018)the City has
14.87 acres per 1,000 residents, and industrial acres in number and size to provide an attractive
inventory.
The City's vision plan restates the continuing need to improve the industrial,employment,and
economic health of the Community as a major goal, and to mitigate the City's"bedroom community"
image. Since 1980 the City has successfully pursued this goal,having attained a ratio of 14.87
industrial acres per resident.

The industrial land use classification is divided into two sub-classifications;Light Industrial and
Heavy Industrial. Together they total 275 acres,of which 54 acres are considered vamit.The
Economic Element determined that by 2033 an additional 36 gross acres 16 will be needed for
industrial purposes.This need determination was based on a 2033 populatim-projec4ion of 274410.
Since adoption of the Economic Element Portland State University's Populati Reseuch Center,in
accordance with recently adopted legislation, completed an updated"ulation estimate for 2015 and
a projection to 2060.The projected population for 2037 is A085 h is le thah that used in the
Economic Element.As such, and since population was,,-106d as,1*04wor of fibre need,the
Economic Element's project need is deemed acceptable for 2037 used.
7.3.1.Industrial Goals and Poli i.
Industrial Goal 1:To support and maintain a stag W diversified industrial sector in accordance
with the Economic Element.
Industrial Goal 2:To maximize industria pans1 andi ew development opportunities in locations
that utilize existing highwW an theF,�4ifr acture,are th close proximity to employee housing
areas,and will minimize con icts. vith a n-industrial land uses.
Industrial Goal 3: Throu4ftthe BU.nianitar and manage the use of industrial lands.
Industrial Goal 4:TOftfpurW light industrial uses in the General Commercial district subject to site
and archit6owal i6ndar rtbat'+l"sure compatibility with adjacent commercial uses.
IndusoUl Polky 1: Wkhin_ P-1B maximize the industrial development potential of the Highway
99/Sou*,eMp4c6c railroad corridor to meet the needs to the year 2038.
IndustrW PWicy 1,Work toward the development of requirements and guidelines for the
establishrhW,9f industrial parks or other forms of master planning in the larger industrial.
Industrial Policy 5:Ensure through the plan review process that all industrial development proposals
adequately address the importance of maintaining environmental quality,particularly air and water
quality.
Industrial Policy 6: Continue to support the landscape requirements for industrial development as set
forth in the Zoning Ordinance.
16 City of Central Point Economic Element,Table 5.2-2
Page 26 of 33
Industrial Policy 7: Maintain an industrial lands ratio of 15 acres of industrial land per 1,000
residents.
7.4. Civic Land Use
Lands designated for this use consist of a variety of uses considered to be public in nature or perform
public services,particularly public schools,which account for the largest percentage of acreage in this
classification. In 2016 the ratio of Civic lands to 1,000 residents was significantly below the projected
2000 ratio. This discrepancy was a result of the methodology used in calculating Civic land uses. In
the previous Land Use Element all civic land uses were inventoried regardless of Q land use
classification. As illustrated in the below table only lands within the Civic cl atiftwere
included in the inventory. If all civic land uses were accounted for in the below fide the retia is the
same as the 2000 ratio.
Going forward only public civic uses will be counted in the Civic clficat' i-public uses
will be noted,but will be relegated to an allowed use in 94wViand classi

Policy 2: Wow with officials of School District 6 to develop and implement a school site acquisition
program that is consistent with the long-range comprehensive plans of the City and the District.
Policy 3: Continue to emphasize the need for pedestrian and bicycle access to all public facilities and
areas frequented by local residents.

7.5. Parks and Recreation Land Use
Goal 1: To integrate into the Land Use Plan the parks and recreation,and open space needs as set forth in
the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Policy 1:Whenever possible, encourage the location of public park sites adjacent to public school sites to
establish neighborhood educational/recreational"centers"that can benefit by the joint utilization of both
types of facilities.

7.6. Circulation/Transportation Land Use
The Land Use Plan maintains an accounting of theublic str tem as a percentage of the
City's total land inventory. As a typical rule-of-thu the' t-of-way needs of a typical community
averages 25%"of all land uses within an urb0 ' s estimated that by the year 2000 the
City's street right-of-ways would ac unt fix 0% Abe �' � s toil land area.By 2017 the figure was
actually 22%.

The City's circt ation planning is the responsibility of the City's Transportation System Plan. The
Transportation- Plan address not only the City's street right-of-way needs,but also,rail,bicycle,
pedestrian,and air.
7.6.1.Circulation Land Use Goal
The most significant relationship between land use and circulation planning is the reliance of
circulation/transportation planning on its ability to provide an acceptable level of services based on the
underlying land use mix. Typically,as land use intensifies traffic volumes increase. The Land Use
17
Page 28 of 33
Element and the Transportation System Plan are currently in balance. As land use changes are proposed it
is necessary that the impact of the change is evaluate for compliance with transportation standards and
mitigate as necessary.This occurs at two levels; when projects of a certain size are developed, and as land
is brought into the UGB.
Goal 1:To effectively manage the use of land within the Central Point Urban Area in a manner that is
consistent with,and that supports the successful implementation of the City's Transportation System
Plan.
Policy 1:Prior to inclusion of lands from the URAs into the UGB a traffic impar analysis must be
completed to determine level of service at time of development.
7.6.2.Existing Circulation Land Use Summary
The City's public right-of-way system currently accounts for approximay 22%,c9w City's total urban
land area,which includes underdeveloped lands within the UGB„and as*ch is 6asi4 red a low figure.
For future planning purposes a figure of 25%is used,which ig bas4 w btuld-out. "
7.7. Overlay Districts
As previously noted there are five(5) overly y; cts that of - the various land uses. Those
districts are:
7.7.1.Central Businesspi. . 'ct AMP
kwv
The Central sinesgia ( y )OvJerlay represents the City's historic business
center of the co ciuil y. As ovAy district the CBD encompasses a mix of
commercial( aif AM residential use classifications that support a pedestrian
and transit 4*jed eri gnmdtit. The CBD Overlay extends along Pine Street; from First
Street w ,$eve Street.,the CBD Overlay is intended to identify and strengthen the
coninurcial c of as a unique area of the City.
7.7,12J,TApsit Orlented Development District (TOD)
Thi TOID overlay represents the existing TOD is to encourage,through a master plan
process,development that includes a mixture of housing,office,retail and/or other
amenities integrated into a walkable neighborhood and located within a half-mile of
quality public transportation.
7.7.3.Environmental Overlay
The Environmental Overlay identifies lands that are environmentally constrained such as
high risk flood hazard areas and/or environmentally sensitive lands such as wetlands,
riparian areas,etc. that are not developable. Figure 9.2 Overlay Map identifies the area
covered by each overlay.
Page 29 of 33

The Environmental Overlay includes the floodway plus 25-ft or the top-of-bank plus 25-
ft,whichever is greater. The objective of this overlay flood overlay is to reduce flood
risk to the community while restoring and/or preserving floodplain and riparian areas,
which provide multiple community benefits(i.e.meet state and federal regulatory
requirements,reduce the cost of flood insurance,improve fish and wildlife habitat,
increase neighborhood recreation areas,mitigate increased flood hazards generated by
new land divisions in the flood overlay zone,etc.).
7.7.4.Airport Overlay
The Airport Overlay includes two overlays;the Airport Approach Overlay and the
Airport Concern Overlay. The Airport Overlays are intended to reduce risks to aircraft
operations and land uses within close proximity to airports asdio4port& These overlays
are required pursuant to federal and state laws,specificaliy FederO Aviatioo:Regulations
(FAR,Part 77)and Oregon Administrative Rules(OAR' 60-013 and OAR 738-070).
B. Land Use Plan Map
The Figure 8.1 is the City's Land Use Plan Map for 201038.This map identifies all land uses
used by the City,and has been prepared in coliance with ` Atther Comprehensive Plan
elements such as the Housing Element,the lonowic Element,the Parks and Recreation
Element,etc. The City's Zoning Map skull be, ' tent,at all times,with the land use
