Background
The City's floodplain management program supports community resiliency through preventive
and corrective measures. These measures include requirements for zoning, subdivisions,
buildings and building codes and the overall floodplain environment. The proposed amendments
provide updates to the floodplain management standards to reflect changes in state and federal
requirements, provide clarity for development, and promote a more disaster -resistant community.
Discussion:
The City participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which has minimum
management standards for communities. Since Central Point implements higher standards, the
City also participates in the Community Rating System (CRS), which is a voluntary incentive
program that recognizes and encourages community floodplain management practices that
exceed the minimum requirements of the NFIP.
Participation in the CRS requires documentation, certification and adhering to floodplain
management standards. In anticipation of the City's upcoming verification visit for the 2020-
2021 cycle this fall, the Planning Department is amending the floodplain development
regulations for consistency with state and federal requirements and ensuring compliance with the
prerequisites for the City's ranking within the program.
The Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) reviewed the draft amendments at the April 13, 2021
meeting and provided a favorable recommendation to the Planning Commission. Comments and
discussion with the CAC highlighted the proposed amendments will not affect implementation of
the floodplain management program, are necessary to maintain good -standing within the federal
programs, and will provide additional safety from flooding hazards.
During this meeting, staff will review the updates to the floodplain development regulations.
Attached is a copy of the draft amendments to the floodplain development regulations.
11
ISSUES:
The primary issue in considering the amendments to the floodplain development regulations is to
provide consistency with state and federal requirements, identify local policies and actions that
can be implemented to reduce flood losses, and protect City residents from the dangers of
flooding.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
The proposed zoning text amendments have been reviewed against and found to comply with the
applicable review criteria in CPMC 17. 10, Zoning Map and Text Amendments as demonstrated
in the Planning Department Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law (Attachment "B").
ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment "A" —Draft Amendments to CPMC 8.24 (Mark-up)
Attachment "B" — Planning Department Findings of Fact
Attachment "C" — Resolution No. 891
ACTION:
Consider the proposed text amendments to CPMC 8.24, Flood Damage Prevention, and 1)
Forward to the Council for approval, 2) make revisions and forward the ordinance to the Council
or 3) deny the ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution No. 891, a Resolution recommending approval of the amendments to CPMC
8.24, Flood Damage Prevention.

exist, where the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate, and where velocity flow may be
evident. AO zones are characterized as having sheet flow, and AH zones indicate ponding._For both AO

"Development" means any manmade change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not
limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation, or drilling
operations; or storage of equipment and materials located within the area of special flood hazard.

topography; and provided, that gardening methods do not include the use or application of
pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or other toxic materials.
"Floodway" or "regulatory floodway" means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the
adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively

PART 1
INTRODUCTION
Findings of Fact
and
Conclusion of Law
The proposed text amendment aims to provide consistency with Federal and State guidance and
implement improved base floodplain management standards to promote a safer community.
The zone text amendment request is a legislative amendment, which is processed using Type IV
application procedures. Type IV procedures set forth in Section 17.05.500 provides the basis for
decisions upon standards and criteria in the development code and the comprehensive plan, when
appropriate.
Applicable development code criteria for this Application include CPMC 17. 10, which includes
compliance with the statewide planning goals, comprehensive plan and Transportation Planning Rule.
The amendment's compliance with applicable criteria are presented in Part 2 and summarized in Part 3.
PART 2 - ZONING CODE COMPLIANCE
17.10,200 Initiation of amendments.
A proposed amendment to the code or zoning map may be initiated by either:
A. A resolution by the planning commission to the city council;
B. A resolution of intent by the city council; or for zoning map amendments;
C. An application by one or more property owners (zoning map amendments only), or their agents, of
property affected by the proposed amendment. The amendment shall be accompanied by a legal
description of the property or properties affected; proposed findings of facts supporting the proposed
amendment, justifying the same and addressing the substantive standards for such an amendment as
required by this chapter and by the Land Conservation and Development Commission of the state. (Ord.
1989 § I (part), 2014).
Finding CPNIC 17.10.200: The Planning Commission is being asked to consider Resolution No. 891
toforward a favorable recommendation to the City Council regarding proposed changes to Central
Point Municipal Code (CPMC) Chapter 8.24, Flood Damage Prevention.
Conclusion 17.10.200: Consistent,

Planning Department Findings Page 1 of 6
17.10.300 Major and minor amendments.
There are two types of map and text amendments:
A. Major Amendments. Major amendments are legislative policy decisions that establish by law general
policies and regulations for future land use decisions, such as revisions to the zoning and land division
ordinance that have widespread and significant iunpact beyond the immediate area. Major amendments are
reviewed using the Type 1V procedure in Section 2 -A -5—M.
B. Minor Amendments. Minor amendments are those that involve the application sof adopted policy to a
specific development application, and not the adoption of new policy (i.e.. major amendments). Minor
amendments shall follow the Type [[T procedure, as set Furth in Section 17.03.400. The approval a lftl ity
shall be the city council after review and recommendation by the planning cOMMission. (Ord. 1989
§ l(part), 2014; Ord. 1874 §3(part), 2006).

Goal 3 - U to Sxtces ''ettic and Goal 5 establishes a
process for each natural and cultural resource to be inventoried and evaluated. If deemed to be
significant, local governments may preserve, allow uses that conflict with the resource, or allow a
combination of the two. In Central Point, floodplains and historic structures have been
inventoried, and ordinances have been adopted to minimize impacts to each. The proposed text
amendments identify policies and actions that can be implemented to further reduce flood losses
and provide additional protection to City residents from the dangers of flooding.
C:--oL 0=f[i► Fl�crtir trtrrl I.crttd R .�orutes unlit . Goal 6 requires local comprehensive plans
and implementing ordinances to comply with state and federal regulations on air, water and land
quality resource requirements. The proposed amendments are consistent with state and federal
guidance on implementing regulations for areas within the_ floodplain, including the stream
channels, banks and upland areas.
