STAFF REPORT

Planning Department
Tom Humphrey,AICP,
Community Development Director
Discussion of a Conceptual Land Use and Transportation Plan for Urban Reserve Area CP -213 and recommendation to
the City Council; Applicant: City of Central Point.
STAFF SOURCE:
Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND:
The City's Regional Plan Element includes a provision that prior to expansion of the urban growth boundary (UGB) into
an urban reserve area (URA) it is necessary to adopt conceptual land use and transportation plans for the affected urban
reserve. The City has received requests to add parts of URA, CP -213 to the City's UGB in order to offer additional land
for housing. In 2009 the City participated in a demonstration project integrating land use and transportation concepts in
one of the City's future growth areas. The project, known as the Wilson Road Area UGB Expansion Plan, is also referred
to as CP -213. Unlike other URAs in Central Point, CP -213 was never formally ratified by the City Council.
When the City adopted the Regional Plan Element to its Comprehensive Plan in 2012 it agreed to land use percentages in
each URA. The residential/employment/park land split in CP -213 was 81%, 13% and 6% respectively. The City also
agreed to an average residential zoning density of 6.9 units per gross acre of land. Upon further review, it was found that
the `Preferred Alternative' for CP -213 did not meet the average residential zoning density. It averaged only 4.95 dwelling
units per gross acre (refer to Attachment A - Maps). City staff has made revisions to the 2009 concept plan for the
Planning Commission's consideration. Three alternatives are being presented and all three meet the density requirements.
Once the Concept Plan is accepted and approved by the City Council it will be used in the City's application for UGB
Amendment with Jackson County and the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD).
ISSUES:
Public Comment for the Conceptual Plan was received during the demonstration project charrette. This was a `grass roots'
effort by property owners and interested agencies. City staff modified this work which is once again being considered in a
public forum. Staff delivered a PowerPoint presentation to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) last month
(Attachment B) which included the three land use and circulation alternatives. The Regional Plan requires this
collaboration as well as feedback from the MPO. The Technical and Policy Committees are made up of local a state
agency representatives who voted to support the CP -213 Conceptual Plan finding that it satisfies the Performance
indicators in the Regional Plan (see Attachment C).
Perhaps the most critical of the performance indicators is the City's Target Residential Density of 6.9 units per gross acre.
Planning staff analyzed committed residential densities using the Wilson Road Area concept shown in Attachment A and
came up with only a 4.95 unit per acre total. Consequently some land use densities were increased along Upton Road and
around a new activity center to bring the total to at least 6.9 units per gross acre. The Transportation Concept Plan is
incorporated into the land use alternatives to illustrate and explain new road extensions/connections.
Changes to the Concept Plan were made with the understanding that some people might be unhappy with the outcome and
that it might seem that public input is being ignored. I will remind the Commission that; 1) the City is obligated to honor
its commitment to the Regional Plan, 2) the Concept Plan is a general guide, and 3) the designations the City places on
property in this plan do not change the County zoning or force county residents to come into the UGB.
Page 1 of 2
Staff has developed some policies in Attachment B for the Commission to consider in their recommendation.
Management agreements with Jackson County are typically used to address issues in the urban -rural interface. An Urban
Growth Management Agreement (URMA) dictates what County roads the City will assume jurisdiction of once land is
brought into the UGB.
CONCLUSION:
In order to comply with the Regional Plan, the City must assign an urban land use designation to all of the land in the
URA and do so using the categories and percentages to which the City and County agreed. The average residential density
(6.9 units/acre) to which the City committed is met in each of the land use concept maps. The Performance Indicators
serve as findings that support the concept plan. City land use designations only become effective at the time of a UGB
Amendment and only then when they are initiated at the request of property owners. The new Parks Master Plan has been
incorporated into the City's Comprehensive Plan and will be used to designate the number, size and characteristic of the
parks that are needed in CP -213. The Jackson County Active Transportation Plan will be used to better define trails and
bike paths once land is added to the UGB and planned for development.

presented; or 2) support one alternative with revisions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution No. 873 forwarding a favorable recommendation to the City Council to approve a specific
alternative for the CP -2B Concept Plan.

RE: RVMPO Comments on Future Growth Areas CP -213
Dear Chris,
Pursuant to the Regional Plan requirement that cities prepare conceptual plans in collaboration with the Rogue
Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization (RVMPO), both the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and the
Policy Committee reviewed conceptual plans prepared for Future Growth Area -CP -213. The scope of conceptual
plan review is defined in Regional Plan Performance Indicators 2.7 (Conceptual Transportation Plans) and 2.8
(Conceptual Land Use Plans).
Performance Indicator 2.7 requires that transportation plans are prepared in collaboration with the RVMPO.
Central Point submitted its plans to the TAC for review at its meetings on June 12, 2019 and again on July 10,
2019. The Policy Committee reviewed the plans at its July 23, 2019 meeting, and provides the following
comments.
Performance Indicator 2.6 requires compliance with Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Alternative Measures to
ensure walkable mixed use neighborhoods that are anchored by activity centers. This indicator relies on
benchmarks from the RTP regarding the number of overall dwelling units and employment to occur in mixed-
use/pedestrian-friendly areas. The conceptual plan proposed one activity center that is characterized by medium and
high density residential land use and employment centers. Public open space is only broadly identified at this point
because park locations will be settled when master plans are created. Central Point's Parks and Recreation
Element, adopted in March of 2018, will dictate size and type.
Performance Indicator 2.7.1 requires that plans identify a general network of regionally significant arterials under
local jurisdiction, transit corridors, bike and pedestrian paths, and associated projects to provide mobility
throughout the region. All scenarios use the existing network of County collector roads as the primary road
network. Upton, Gebhard, and Wilson Road abut or cross this Urban Reserve. Bike and pedestrian paths locations
will be dependent upon and developed in coordination with the Active Transportation Plan currently being
developed by Jackson County. The transportation plans appear to have no significant impact on the regional
transportation system.
Performance Indicator 2.8 requires the same collaboration as for 2.7. Performance Indicator 2.8.1 requires
conceptual plans to demonstrate how the density requirements of Section 2.5 will be met. Central Point's target
density is 6.9 units per gross acre through 2035, increasing to 7.9 units per acre thereafter. The concept plan for
RVMPO is staffed by Rogue Valley Council of Governments • 155 N. First St. • P 0 Box 3275 • Central Point OR 97502.664-6674

CP -213 demonstrates compliance with the Regional Plan. The proposed land use percentages are 85 percent
residential, 6 percent open space/park, and 9 percent employment. Using a mix of low-, medium-, and high-density
residential zoning, the targets will be met.
Performance Indicator 2.10 requires agricultural buffering. The conceptual plan states that the City will implement
agricultural buffers in accordance with adopted ordinances at the time of annexation.
The Policy Committee notes that the conceptual plans create no barrier to inter jurisdictional connectivity and are
consistent with other Regional Plan performance indicators. The Policy Committee further understands that
revisions to the Concept Plan are possible and even likely up until such time as a UGB Amendment is drafted. Any
future significant Concept Plan revisions will be made in collaboration with the RVMPO. These comments are
provided to affirm that Central Point followed the requirements of the Regional Plan to prepare its conceptual plans
in collaboration with the RVMPO.
