NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Central Point Planning Commission, by this Resolution No. 889, does hereby approve the Site Plan and Architectural Review application for Twin Creeks Village at Twin Creeks as per conditions in the Staff Report dated April 6, 2021 (Exhibit :,A,l PASSED by the Planning Commission and signed by me in authentication of its passage this 611 day of April, 2021. �, , . � -- Planning Commission Chair ATTEST: Q City Repksentativ Planning Commission Resolution No. 890 (4/6/2021) STAFF REPORT CENTRAL POINT STAFF REPORT April 6, 2021 Community Development Tom Humphrey, AICP Community Development Director AGENDA ITEM: File No. SPAR -21001 Consideration of a Site -Plan and Architectural Review application to construct a mixed-use development on three lots totaling 2.83 acres in the Twin Creeks TOD. The proposal depicts two of the 3 -story buildings with a common plaza area on either side of a pedestrian promenade. There will be a total of 11,482 square feet of ground floor commercial lease space (broken down into 16 separate spaces); two live -work units and 87 dwelling units incorporated into a total of four building complexes. The site is within the High Mix Residential (HMR) zone and is identified on the Jackson County Assessor's Map as 37 2W 03CA TLs 107, 108, 130.Applicant: Smith Crossing LLC; Agent: Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. (Scott Sinner) STAFF SOURCE: Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director BACKGROUND: The Twin Creeks Master Plan ("TCMP") was approved by the City Council in 2001 to provide a format for roughly 230 acres of land development. The Master Plan depicts a mix of commercial, residential and civic land use types throughout the Twin Creeks community. According to the Master Plan, high -mix residential/ commercial was planned for land south of the Central Commons Park beginning at the prominent southwest corner of Twin Creeks Crossing Loop and North Haskell Street west for an entire block (Attachment "A"). At this time Smith Crossing LLC ("Applicant") is requesting Site Plan and Architectural Review approval to construct the following (Attachments "D"-1 through "D"-5) • Building 1 — Two Story 10-plex transitioning to Three -Story (Flat Roofed) building consisting of one and two bedroom townhouses and 1 and 2 bedroom flats. • Building 2 — Three -Story (Flat Roofed) Mixed -Use Building with 10 flats and 25 townhouses above first floor commercial space totaling 7521 square feet in 11 separate spaces. • Building 3 — Three -Story (Flat Roofed) Mixed -Use with 5 flats and 15 townhouses above 3,961 square feet of commercial in 5 spaces. Two of the units in this building are considered `live -work' which have a commercial/office and a residential component that is occupied by the same resident. ■ Building 4 — Three -Story building with 12 second and third story townhouses and ten 1 and 2 bedroom flats. The project site is served by all planned infrastructure identified in the Master Plan, including but not limited to streets and stormwater treatment facilities. All utilities are available to the site (Attachment "E"). Project Description: The Applicant proposes to construct a mixed-use residential/commercial development with 16 commercial spaces and 89 residential units. The parking plan consists of off-street parking spaces. As illustrated in Table 1, the proposal is within the minimum/maximum range for density and complies with the minimum parking requirements for multifamily housing and commercial square footage.

The entire block and parking area show landscape improvements, as well as a network of pedestrian pathways (Attachments "C"). Architecturally, two of the four buildings will be the most prominent in this development; three-story, flat - roofed structures with parapets, awnings and other unique features (Attachment "D"). Buildings 1 and 4 are three-story structures of similar appearance to Buildings 2 and 3 with scaled massing (three-dimensional form) appropriate for their locations along North Haskell and Silver Creek Drives in the vicinity of the TOD core area. All the building elevations demonstrate a visually interesting and pedestrian friendly scaling with large windows and entries from the sidewalks. Per the Applicant's Findings, in Attachment "F" the proposed development was designed to be compatible with itself and with existing surrounding architecture. ISSUES: there are five (5) issues relative to the proposed development as follows: 1. Master Plan. The Twin Creeks Master Plan (TCMP) governs land use and circulation. A review of the proposed site development in the context of the Master Plan requires clarification of public transit, shared access and traffic impacts as follows: a. Transit. The Planning Department received the following comments from a resident; "TOD suggests that residents of the apartments and visitors to the lease spaces will be encouraged to use public transportation rather than personal vehicles. If so, the RVTD will need to change their bus routes to serve the proposed development. What are those plans?" Comment: This resident's questions, my response and that of RVTD Planning and Programs Manager are found in (Attachment "H"). In short, RVTD planned to begin the `Central Point Circulator' (Route 43) last June but the COVID pandemic caused staffing shortages and reduced service. Their intention is to resume all service levels this September 2021 and add Route 43 in early 2022. This route will circulate through Twin Creeks, serving those residents and traveling east and west across town with connections to Medford. b. Traffic. The Master Plan included a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) that evaluated the impacts of land uses planned throughout Twin Creeks. Per the analysis and public agency feedback, a trip cap was imposed to assure traffic generated by new development is completed in sync with specified street capacity enhancement projects. The Twin Creeks Rail Crossing was the last project to be completed before the trip cap was removed. Comment: The construction and successful opening of the Twin Creeks Rail Crossing removed a self-imposed trip cap and now allows the TCMP to build out consistent with the adopted zoning. Changes to the TCMP may necessitate a review of traffic impacts but the applicant is not proposing changes to the land use or zoning that was approved by the City. c. Parking Lot and Use of Blue Moon Alley. Some residents of Blue Moon Drive have expressed concern about the use of entrances to an existing alley to enter and leave the Twin Creeks Village parking lot. The alley right of way is 25 feet wide and currently provides access to rear loaded garages. The access from North Haskell can be used more directly without traveling behind existing homes. The access from Silver Creek would be shared along with four other driveways that are proposed (Attachment "B"). Comment: The Master Plan for the Twin Creeks Development depicted only two points of access to this area, one from North Haskell and the other from Silver Creek as the applicants propose. The circulation plan reflected in the site plan indicates that there will be multiple ways to enter and leave the new parking area and minimize conflicts with Blue Moon residents. 2. Architecture and Scale. The principal buildings (Buildings 2 and 3) will be the most prominent buildings south of the Central Common Park. These buildings will make a statement that is consistent with the mixed-use concept described in the TCMP (Attachment "G"). Per the Applicant's Findings, placement of the structure in this location is desirable to provide a visual reference to the TOD core area. Building 4 is also a 3 -story building with frontage on Silver Creek Drive. Some residents from Blue Moon Drive have expressed concern about the size and scale of the building relative to the backs of their homes. Proximity, obstructed views and privacy are main concerns. Comment: The TCMP encourages street frontages to be pedestrian friendly with active public space. The TCMP depicts this type of development in the HMR zoning district (Attachment "G"). The massing of individual buildings is addressed in staff Finding 17.67.050(H) as follows; "the applicant has taken care to transition building height from two to three stories on North Haskell but not on Silver Creek Drive. The applicant is relying instead on architecture and landscaping to minimize massing impacts for Building #4. The houses on Blue Moon Drive are all alley loaded and so their back yards abut the internal parking area and rear entrances to the mixed-use buildings." Diagonal Parking on Twin Creeks Crossing Loop. The proposal for mixed-use development in the core of Twin Creeks and its emphasis on commercial activity inspired the idea of creating a "Main Street" appearance and a "satellite downtown" complete with more on -street parking. In collaboration with the Public Works Department, the applicants redesigned their parking lot to dedicate the required right of way to add diagonal parking on the south side of Twin Creeks Crossing Loop to compliment that on the north. Comment: The Twin Creeks Crossing Loop is a one-way street and the Public Works Department has determined that the expansion and addition of diagonal parking will enhance and not diminish traffic circulation in this area. The added advantage is the creation of a "sense of place" in the core area of the Twin Creeks Development. The use of public parking to access 11,482 square feet of commercial space and 16 potential businesses promotes better market visibility. Those concerned about parking in front of the business can alternatively park in the internal on-site lot and walk through to "main street' stores. Two recommended conditions of approval from Public Works address parking and frontage improvements on Twin Creeks Crossing Loop. 4. On-site Lighting. The proposed site plan does not address the on-site lighting standards necessary to illuminate building entrances, upper stories and pedestrian walkways per CPMC 17.67.050(L). Although this is a minor issue, it will be necessary to provide an overall lighting plan with the details for proposed building and walkway lighting to comply with the on-site lighting standards. Comment: The applicant has stated in their findings that lighting is a design -build contract and was not included in the development proposal. A condition has been added to address on-site lighting. 5. Garage. The proposed site plan depicts a covered parking garage without explaining how it and the parking spaces in conflict with its doors might be used. The landscaping plan indicates that it can only be accessed from the north side and this arrangement conflicts with five other dedicated parking spaces. Comment: The applicant needs to clarify for the Planning Commission what they have in mind for the use of this building and whether or not the total parking space count will remain the same or be reduced. FINDINGS: The Site Plan and Architectural Review application for Central Point Station has been evaluated for compliance with the Central Point Municipal Code requirements set forth in the applicable sections of Chapters 17.65, 17.66, 17.67, 17.72 and 17.75 and found to comply as evidenced by the Planning Department Supplemental Findings (Attachment "K"). CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. Prior to building permit issuance the applicant shall submit an lighting plan to the Planning Department indicating all proposed on-site lighting, including the illumination of building entrances, the parking lot and pedestrian walkways, in conformance with Section 17.67.050(L). 2. The applicant shall comply with agency conditions as per the Fire District #3, Rogue Valley Sewer Service and the Public Works Department (Attachment "J") staff reports.

The proposal provides both horizontal and vertical mixed use buildings as anticipated with the Twin Creeks Master Plan. The existing Twin Creeks Pedestrian Prominade links the northern and southern portions of the Twin Creeks community with a wide, walkable connection. The Prominade is currently undeveloped at this location between tax lots 130 and 107. The Pedestrian Prominade will be developed as a plaza area between Buildings 2 and 3. It is anticipated the adjacent commercial spaces fronting on the plaza will be a gathering place for patrons and residents of the Twin Creeks Community. Figure 2 Pedestrian Promenade Plaza The code requirement for parking for this mix of uses is 157 off street parking spaces and 172 off street parking spaces are provided. The development fronts three public streets and the applicant coordinated with Staff to reconfigure the proposed buildings to modify the existing on street parking on Twin Creeks Crossing Loop from parallel parking to angled parking to match the existing parking on the north side of the loop. Reconfiguring this parking increased the on street parking adjacent to the development to 50 on street spaces.

The 11,482 square feet of commercial space does not contain any dedicated VRBO units and it also does not contain any tenants. Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. 541-601-0917 Twin Creeks Village Site Plan Review Page 6 of 18 Review Procedure The applicant has been in communication with the City since the property was acquired in 2019. Discussions with the staff indicated this development would be considered a Major Site Plan review and of significant interest and impact to the City so the application would be treated as a Type III procedure with the Planning Commission as the approving authority. Type III applications require a pre application conference. The applicant submitted a pre application request on May 26, 2020 and the pre app conference, PRE -20006 was held on June 17, 2020. As stated above, this application is a major site plan review, typically classified as a Type II review. The director has the discretion to process a major site plan application as a Type III procedure when a development is of substantial size, and of significant public interest. This application is subject to the procedures of Central Point Municipal Code (CPMC) 17.05.400. CPMC 17.05.400 provides the required submittals, noticing requirements, and review and decision procedure for the Planning Commission. Approval Criteria The project is subject to the standards of Chapters 17.65 TOD Districts and Corridors, 17.66 Application Review Process for the TOD District and Corridor, and 17.67 Design Standards — TOD District and TOD Corridor.

Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. 541-601-0917 Twin Creeks Village Site Plan Review Page 9 of 18 The primary proposed commercial use for Buildings 2 and 3 will be commercial lease space. This plan does not include VRBO rental dwelling units. The applicant has not secured any tenants for at this time; however, the anticipated tenants are within the Professional Office, Sales Oriented and Personal Service Oriented classifications. This development will provide Live/Work opportunities for business that may currently be home based businesses. The current plans indicate four buildings with a total of 89 dwelling units and approximately 11,482 square feet of commercial space. Figure 9 Typical Architectural Style All 4 buildings of the development share a common architectural style designed to create a Main Street attraction for the Twin Creeks area. Buildings 1 and 4 are all residential and are transitioning from the existing residential development south of the site to the commercial mixed use buildings of Buildings 2 and 3. Building 1 is south of the primary parking lot entrance from North Haskell. The use of this building is all residential which is a permitted use in the zone. This building is a transition building. 2 story on the south end stepping up to 3 story building on the north end. The building configuration creates a transition in mass and scale from the proposed mixed use buildings to the north and the existing residential uses developed on the Blue Moon Drive frontage. Building 2 extends from the site entrance on North Haskell, to the corner of Twin Creeks Crossing Loop and North Haskell to the Pedestrian Prominade on Twin Creeks Crossing Loop. This building proposes 7,521 square feet of ground floor, street frontage commercial lease spaces, and two 1 bedroom street frontage dwelling units. The ground floor, parking Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. 541-601-0917 Twin Creeks Village Site Plan Review Page 10 of 18 lot side of the building is 1 bedroom dwelling units. The second and third floors are residential townhouse units for a total of 35 dwelling units. The building will have one open pedestrian corridor on the North Haskell frontage and two corridors on the Twin Creeks Loop frontage. The building will have street trees in tree wells without planter strips to allow potential commercial uses for the 9'— 10' sidewalks. This application proposes a Pedestrian Plaza area at the existing pedestrian walkway coming from the Central Commons Park. Building 3 is west of the Pedestrian Plaza to the corner of Silver Creek Drive. This is a 3 story building with the same architectural style as Building 2. This building has 3,961 square feet of frontage commercial lease space, 2 Live - Work spaces and 20 dwelling units. This building will also use tree wells for the street trees and no planter strip. Building 4, is a 3 story building facing Silver Creek Drive containing all residential dwelling units. The first floor will be 1 and 2 bedroom units with townhouse units on the second and third floors. South of the building will be the access drive from Silver Creek Drive to the interior parking area. The Silver Creek frontage will have a planter strip 17.65.050 Zoning Regulations TOD District CPMC 17.65.050 Table 2 provides density and lot standards. This application does not propose a land division and all development is proposed on an existing parcel; therefore, the minimum lot size, dimensions and area requirements are not applicable. The term townhouse, as it is used in this application, is a multifamily dwelling unit consisting of 2 floors with an internal staircase and is not a unit proposed for individual unit ownership. The applicant intends to maintain ownership of all dwelling units and commercial lease spaces in the development. Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. 541-601-0917 Twin Creeks Village Site Plan Review Page 11 of 18 Referring to Table 2, the HMR zone requires a minimum density of 25 dwelling units per acre with no maximum density. The parcel is 2.83 net acres. This application proposes 89 dwelling units which is a density of 31 units per acre and above the minimum required density. The minimum the setbacks for the HMR zone is 0'- 15'. This application proposes a 3 foot and 5 foot setback for Building 1 on N Haskell and 13' on Blue Moon Drive. 1' and 3' setbacks for Buildings 2 and 3 and an 8-1/2' minimum setback for Building 4. All setbacks are met with the proposed site plan including space between buildings. The maximum building height for the HMR zone is 60'. Building 1 is proposed at 33', Buildings 2 and 3 are 36' and building 4 is 33'. All buildings comply with the maximum building height standard and the setback standards. Table 2 indicates that residential development in the HMR zone with more than 40 dwelling units must incorporate 3 or more housing types. Building 1 is comprised of 2 story townhouse unit and 1 story flats under 2 story townhouses. Buildings 2 and 3 have 1 bedroom flats and 2 story townhouses over a flat and 2 story townhouses over commercial space. The 2 story townhouses over commercial spaces are Live Work Units. Building 4 has 1 bedroom flats, 2 bedroom flats and 2 bedroom townhouses The project meets the requirement for at least 3 housing types Table 3 of the 17.65 provides the parking standards for the HMR zone. All dwelling units in the proposal would require 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit, the commercial spaces would have a 1 space per 500 square feet of floor area. Using the Table 3 parking requirements, the required parking is 134 spaces for the 89 rental dwelling units, and 23 spaces for 11,482 square feet of commercial lease space, for a total of 157 required spaces. The site plan provides 172 parking spaces of which 6 are ADA compliant spaces. The TCMP Exhibit 32 parking plan indicates the entire block of the subject property is proposed for on street parking. At the required pre application conference for the project, Staff discussed the importance of parking for the development. Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. 541-601-0917 Twin Creeks Village Site Plan Review Page 12 of 18 Staff discussed reconfiguring the Twin Creeks Loop frontage from parallel parking to angled parking to match the angled parking fronting the Commons Park. The site plan was adjusted to accommodate the angled parking and increase the on street parking to 50 spaces. The project is located in a TOD, Transit Oriented District, where development is designed to promote multi modal transportation opportunities. The development has embraced the concept and created a major focal point with the Plaza at the Pedestrian Prominade. The development is intended to generate pedestrian traffic and lower vehicular trips. Chapter 17.67 DESIGN STANDARDS--TOD DISTRICT AND TOD CORRIDOR 17.67.010 Purpose. The purpose of the Central Point TOD district and TOD corridor design standards is to complement and support efficient and sustainable land development, to reduce auto reliance and to increase transit use as required by the Oregon Transportation Planning Rule. (Ord. 1815 §1 (part), Exh. C(part), 2000) The subject property within the Twin Creeks TOD. The Twin Creeks TOD has an adopted Master Plan. This site is over 2 acres and is required to comply with a Master Plan and the TCMP standards are applicable and this application does not request any master plan revisions. Circulation and Access Standards This application does not include a land division or the creation of public streets and some of the design standards within 17.67 are not applicable as the site already has some improvements that would have been reviewed and approved as consistent with the master plan. The existing block perimeter and length at the site are consistent with the standards. All utilities are required to be located underground and the development will comply with the standards. The TCMP indicates a major pedestrian corridor is to be utilized with the existing public right of way on the property. Exhibit 20 of the TCMP indicates this pedestrian corridor is developed as a Pedestrian Prominade. This is a major feature of the Twin Creeks Community providing pedestrian connection throughout the area. This development embraces the Promenade by developing a plaza area between buildings 2 and 3. Commercial lease spaces are provided facing the plaza with the intent of attracting dining business to create social hub for the community. Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. 541-601-0917 Twin Creeks Village Site Plan Review Page 13 of 18 Parking Lot Standards There are no parking lot driveways proposed with the application. The plan utilizes the existing two way public alley between North Haskell and Silver Creek Drive. Two drive aisles are proposed at the north end and the center of the parking area crossing the pedestrian walkway. The parking lot is surrounded by internal sidewalks connecting to the public sidewalks on all three street frontages. This development also will develop the Pedestrian Promenade from Twin Creeks Loop to the public alley on the south side of the development. All buildings have ground floor breezeways connecting the parking area to the public rights of way. Site DesiRn Standards 17.67.050 A. Adiacent Off -Site Structures and Uses. This application is infill development with virtually all offsite infrastructure currently in place. All connections to these facilities will be designed and submitted to the city for technical review and approval. The adjacent uses are as follows: • North, OS zone, Civic Park • West, Civic zone, vacant, owned by the school district • South, HMR zone developed with attached townhouses • East, HMR zone Pear Valley Senior Living B. Natural Features The site is flat with no significant natural features. There are no wetlands on the site. C. Topographv The site is flat with no significant topography, all adjacent parcels are similarly flat. The proposed plan will match, exactly, the topography and the manner other buildings have developed on this flat ground. D. Solar Orientation The priority of the Code to meet minimum density requirements and site structures close to street frontages dictate building orientations with respect to solar orientation. E. Existing buildings on the Site Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. 541-601-0917 Twin Creeks Village Site Plan Review Page 14 of 18 The site is vacant. F. New Prominent Structures The development does not propose and key public or Civic structures. The plaza formed between buildings 2 and 3 is expected to be a destination or gathering place for residents of the area. G. Views, The HMR zone requires development with 0' to 15' setbacks. All buildings comply with this standard. The development will have little impact on views from the north and west as the adjacent uses are a developed park and a vacant site for a school. The town houses south of the development are oriented with rear entry garages on the alley between the parking areas of this development and the adjacent townhouses. This development will not impact the view to the Blue Moon Drive frontages. The Pear Valley Senior Living development on the east is of similar mass and use and the proposed development. The views on the N. Haskell frontage will still have views to the Park area while gaining new views of a vibrant urban mixed use streetscape. H. Adjoining Uses, Adiacent Services The proposed site plan is within the HMR—High Mix Residential/Commercial. This is the highest density residential zone intended to be near the center of the TOD district. High density forms of multifamily housing are encouraged along with complementary ground floor commercial uses. Both the Twin Creeks Crossing Loop and the North Haskell frontages are proposed to be predominately ground floor commercial street frontages with the mixed use residential above. The HMR Zone has minimum density standards and the site plan proposed is within the allowable density for the Zone. The Central Commons Park is located directly across the Twins Creeks Loop from the development. The Pear Valley Senior Living complex is east of the subject property and is within the same HMR zoning district. The property to the west is owned by Jackson County School District #6 and is currently vacant and zoned for a school. The properties south of the development are within the same HMR Zone and are developed with townhouses. I. Transitions in Density Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. 541-601-0917 Twin Creeks Village Site Plan Review Page 15 of 18 This section of the Code is intended to minimize and mitigate conflicts in uses within the master plan area. The proposed development has incorporated the techniques identified in the Code. Building 1 and building 4 are designed to transition density and uses from the high intensity mixed uses of buildings 2 and 3. Building 1 is adjacent to existing townhomes facing Blue Moon Drive. The south portion of Building 1 are proposed as 2 story units with the northern section comprised of 3 story units. Building 4 is 3 story fronting on Silver Creek Drive. The public alley serving as access for this development provide separation from the existing development on Blue Moon Drive. The architecture, right of way separation, and building height are density transition techniques identified in the TCMC. 1_ Parking Table 3 of the 17.65 provides the parking standards for the HMR zone. All dwelling units in the proposal would require 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit and the commercial spaces would have a 1 space per 500 square feet of floor area. Using the Table 3 parking requirements, the total required parking for the development is 157 spaces. The plan provides 172 spaces including 6 onsite parking spaces The City Staff identified an opportunity to provide diagonal on street parking on south side of Twin Creeks Loop to match the north side of the Loop. The modification required the applicant to dedicate additional right of way and reconfigure buildings 2 and 3. The reconfiguration of on street parking increased the available on street parking from 27 spaces to 50 spaces. This project is also on the primary pedestrian path in the Twin Creeks Community. The development of the Pedestrian Prominade and the Pedestrian Plaza is expected to increase pedestrian activity to this commercial hub are reduce reliance on automotive use. Protective curbs are provided on all landscaped areas. Tree islands are utilized to provide protection to the trees from adjacent parked cars. The site plan specifies a 17' by 9' parking space with a 7' sidewalk to allow full depth parking, landscape protection and ample pedestrian width. All parking and maneuvering area are paved. On- site parking is proposed to be behind the buildings and to the interior of the parcel as required by the Code. Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. 541-601-0917 Twin Creeks Village Site Plan Review Page 16 of 18 K. Landscaping The Landscape Plan provides 18,568 square feet of landscaped area representing 15.1% landscape coverage on the 2.83 acre site. The proposed landscape plan was prepared to the standards in this code section. The landscaping is designed to complement the architecture and plaza areas and conform to the TCMP standards. Street Tree and shrub species are per the TCMP approved lists. The site plan provides the location of the fully screened trash and recycling area. There is no chain link fencing or screening proposed. The site plan does not propose parking between the buildings and rights of way. The buildings do not have large unbroken massive sections and landscaping is proposed to be in harmony with the architecture. The plaza area provide an attracting hardscape paver adjacent to a commercial area. The desire is to attract a coffee house or other eatery that will be able to use the plaza for attractive outdoor seating. L. Lighting Pedestrian scale street lighting are currently installed on the public rights of way. The proposed elevations includes building mounted lighting for safety and interest. The parking lot lighting is a design build contract and has not been designed at the time of submittal in case there are changers to the parking lot. The applicant will comply with the lighting densities described in the Code. M. Signs The only signs proposed at this time are conceptual building face signs on Buildings 2 and 3 on the Twin Creeks Crossing Loop frontage. The applicant is not proposing any monument signage at this time and if a monument sign is desired, the design will be submitted under a separate application. Application Summary and Conclusions. These Findings of Fact and plans demonstrate the application is consistent with all applicable requirements contained within the Central Point Municipal Code. Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc. 541-601-0917 Twin Creeks Village Site Plan Review Page 27 of 18 The development is proposed to create a Main Street Appearance with uses allowed within the HMR zoning district. The development will improve the existing Pedestrian Prominade and developed a Plaza area expected to be a hub and gathering place for the community. The applicant coordinated with City Staff to reconfigure parking to provide additional parking to exceed the parking requirements of the Code for the benefit of the community. O behalf of the application, I request the approval of the site plan application. 00 - 6. ,� Scott Sinner Scott Sinner Consulting, Inc.

All main entrances are off the primary street frontage, and are complemented by suitable signage that is integrated into the overall building design. Sidewalks are active pedestrian spaces, with outdoor display of goods, cafes seating, street furniture, lighting and trees combining together to create a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. All building facades, notable over 40' in length, have variation in the architectural forms, elements and materials, to en- hance the visual quality of the street edge. A range of quality, durable materials is used to augment and highlight the building forms, while conveying a sense of permanence and distinction. Corner buildings are detailed to provide a strong emphasis to a corner, with continuity of architecturnl detailing and materials on the front and side facades. Extensive windows, wlitcs and skylights allow for natural light and ventilation for the lower and upper floors.

The Twin Creeks development was one of ten activity centers conceived in 1999.2000 as part of a regional effort to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and encourage greater use of public transportation. The study was initiated by the Rogue Valley Council of Governments in cooperation with RVTD. The Central Point site was one of the top three out of ten and when the prospective developer got behind the idea and created the Master Plan the City supported it enthusiastically adopting the Twin Creeks Transit Oriented Development (TOD) in 2001. There have been a lot of benefits to this development concept such as the performance-based zoning, attractive architecture, open space, livability, more efficient land use, etc. but it has been embarrassing for me to tout this over the years as a TOD without the "T". In fairness, this has also been embarrassing for RVTD who has tried to figure out how to serve the site from its existing Central Point Route (40). We all believed that once the Railroad Crossing was built that RVTD would make every effort to make this happen. RVTD's Master Planning efforts in 2017-2018 did result in what are called 'City Circulators' and they created one for Central Point, I have attached a map of the Central Point Circulator for your consideration. As you will see, the new route (43) will serve both the TOD and the east side of Central Point where other new development is planned including the East Side TOD. This circulator was scheduled to begin last June, was delayed until September 2020 and now longer because of the COVID pandemic. I believe that RVTD has every intention of getting this started as soon as they can. The new mixed-use developments in Twin Creeks will not be completed for another 18 to 24 months even though planning approvals have been/may be given. Of course the other challenge is encouraging people to actually use public transit once it is available. We hope the new route and incentives associated with its connections to east Central Point, Medford and elsewhere will make this mode of transportation more desirable. Once again, I appreciate your interest in this subject and in helping to make it work. You're welcome to call me at 541- 423-1025 or continue to send email messages should you have other questions or suggestions, Sincerely yours, Tom Humphrey AICP Community Development Director City of Central Point From: The Huefners <huefner „juna.�orrt> Sent: Saturday, March 20, 202112:54 PM To: Tom Humphrey <Tom.Hum hre central ointore on, ov> Subject: Twin Creeks Village Hello Tom: The land use application from Smith Crossing references "Zoning Standards for HMR within the TOD District...."

The city could pass an ordinance restricting on -street parking. That would make it easier for city employees to sweep the streets, garbage collection trucks to pick up the garbage and landscape contractors to mow the grass, pick up leaves, etc. Enforcing that would be time consuming and probably not successful or well-received by the residents. The zoning regulations could require more parking stalls per apartment, home or business. That would increase the costs for the developer, which ill tUrrI would be passed on to the renter, home -owner or businesses. That approach could limit the number of people or businesses that might Iocate here, which would likely be unpopular. Expand the RVTD options and adjust the routes to hopefully make public transportation a more attractive option. My wife and I spent two years in Moscow, Russia. They had four public transportation options. First, the Metro consisted of eight routes, about 90% of which were underground. Secondly, there were numerous above ground electric trains on fixed tracks. The third option consisted of a large fleet of buses, similar to RVTD buses. And finally, innumerable 10-12 passenger minivans. Obviously Jackson County is not ready for either a Metro system or electric trains. But perhaps some minivans could prove beneficial when coupled with express bus routes. For example, consider the Central Point express route. The first stop might be at Costco. From there it would drive to Ray's Food Place then south on Highway 99 to the Mall and the final stop would be at the Front Street Station, arriving there in time for transfer to another bus if needed. The bus would follow the same route and stops to Costco. The proposed `City Circulators' would feed the buses. Around each of the stops there could be minivan routes. Leaving Costco it would circulate north of Costco, returning to Costco then circulate south of Costco. Similarly, the circulator based at Rays would drive through Twin Creeks and north Central Point and then south of downtown Central Point. Similar express buses and `City Circulators' would serve other parts of Jackson County. Hopefully such a mixed system would attract more riders, reducing the congestion. Thanks for your efforts. Jim Huefner 418 Stone Pointe Drive Central Point, OR 97502 Ak Public Works Department CENTRAL POINT PUBLIC WORKS STAFF REPORT March 29, 2021 AGENDA ITEM: Twin Creeks Village (SPAR -21001) Mixed Use Development - 37S 2W 03 CA, Tax Lots 107,108 and 130 Applicant:.PMCI, Inc. Traffic: ATTACHMENT " J� Matt Samitore, Director This concept was evaluated as part of the original master plan and development plan for the Twin Creeks Development. The Traffic Impact Analsyis included a series of projects including upgrades to Ilighway 99 at Pine and the new Signal at Twin Creeks Crossing. All of those improvements are now complete. No TIA is required for this development. Existing Infrastructure: Water: There are 8 -inch water lines in Twin Creeks Crossing Loop, Silver Creek Drive and the internal alleyways. Streets: Twin Creeks Crossing Loop is Minor Arterial and North Haskell Street is a Collector. Silver Creek is a residential street. All are improved. Stormwater: There is an existing 15 -inch storm in Twin Creeks Crossing Loop and a 12 -inch in North Haskell and the alleyway. Background: The proposed project includes a series of mixed use buildings and exclusive multi -family developments. Issues: The only issue is the expansion of "Twin Creeks Crossing Loop to include diagonal parking on both sides. This will require moving some of the existing utilities.

Conclusion 17.67.040(C): Consistent. 17.67.050 Site Design Standards. The following standards and criteria shall be addressed in the master plan, land division, and/or site plan review process: A. Adjacent Off -Site Structures and Uses. Finding 17.67.050(A): There are no off-site structures servicing the subject property. All proposed utility infrastructure has been reviewed by the Public Works Department and determined to comply with all applicable sections of the City of Central Point Department Public Works Standard Specification and Uniform Standard Details for Public Works Construction. Conclusion 17.67.050(A): Consistent. B. Natural Features. 1. Buildings should be sited to preserve significant trees. 2. Buildings should be sited to avoid or lessen the impact of development on environmentally critical areas such as steep slopes, wetlands, and stream corridors. 3. Whenever possible, wetlands, groves and natural areas should be maintained as public preserves and as open space opportunities in neighborhoods. Finding I7.67.050(B): The Project Site is a flat, vacant lot. There are no trees or mapped wetland areas or stream corridors on the site. Conclusion 17.66.050(B): Not applicable. C. Topography. 1. Buildings and other site improvements should reflect, rather than obscure, natural topography. 2. Buildings and parking lots should be designed to fit into hillsides, for instance, reducing the need for grading and filling. 3. Where neighboring buildings have responded to similar topographic conditions on their sites in a consistent and positive way, similar treatment for the new structure should be considered. Finding I7.67.050(C): Topography on the project is relatively flat with minor grade changes across the subject property. Conclusion 17.67.050(C): Not applicable. D. Solar Orientation. 1. The building design, massing and orientation should enhance solar exposure for the project, taking advantage of the climate of Central Point for sun -tempered design. Finding] 7.67.050(D): The proposal maximizes solar orientation to the greatest extent possible within the context of the existing street network. Conclusion 17.67.050(D): Consistent. Existing Buildings on the Site. 2. Where a new building shares the site with an admirable existing building or is a major addition to such a building, the design of the new building should be compatible with the original. 3. New buildings proposed for existing neighborhoods with a well-defined and desirable character should be compatible with or complement the architectural character and siting pattern of neighboring buildings. Finding 17.67.050(E): The existing property is currently undeveloped. As noted in the Findings for CPMC 17.67.070 — Building Design, the proposed buildings are consistent with the building design standards in the TOD Corridor. Conclusion 17.67.050(E): Consistent. E. New Prominent Structures. Key public or civic buildings, such as community centers, churches, schools, libraries, post offices, and museums, should be placed in prominent locations, such as fronting on public squares or where pedestrian street vistas terminate, in order to serve as landmarks and to symbolically reinforce their importance. Finding I7.67.050(F): The proposed mixed-use buildings are not key public or civic buildings but they have been placed in prominent locations within the TCMP. Conclusion 17.67.050(F): Not applicable. F. Views. The massing of individual buildings should be adjusted to preserve important views while benefiting new and existing occupants and surrounding neighborhoods. Finding 17.67.050(G): The proposed mixed-use buildings are proposed south of Central Commons Park on the Twin Creeks Crossing Loop and draw attention to the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) as intended. The heights of buildings on North Haskell are reduced from north to south as the development transitions to an existing two-story neighborhood but does not do the same thing on Silver Creek Drive.. The development will hinder some views from various angles; however, the clustering of the structures and separation of massing are intended to have the least impact on surrounding views as possible. Conclusion 17.67.050(G): Consistent. G. Adjoining Uses and Adjacent Services. 1. When more intensive uses, such as neighborhood commercial or multifamily dwellings, are within or adjacent to existing single-family neighborhoods, care should be taken to minimize the impact of noise, lighting, and traffic on adjacent dwellings. 2. Activity or equipment areas should be strategically located to avoid disturbing adjacent residents. 3. All on-site service areas, loading zones and outdoor storage areas, waste storage, disposal facilities, transformer and utility vaults, and similar activities shall be located in an area not visible from a street or urban space. 4. Screening shall be provided for activities, areas and equipment that will create noise, such as loading and vehicle areas, air conditioning units, heat pumps, exhaust fans, and garbage compactors, to avoid disturbing adjacent residents. 5. Group mailboxes are limited to the number of houses on any given block of development. Only those boxes serving the units may be located on the block. Multiple units of mailboxes may be combined within a centrally located building of four walls that meets the design guidelines for materials, entrance, roof form, windows, etc. The structure must have lighting both inside and out. Finding I UZ OSO(H): The site and landscape plans show all vehicle parking and loading areas are centrally located within the site and therefore screened by buildings and site landscaping Some residents from homes on Blue Moon Drive have expressed concern about massing of individual buildings. The applicant has taken care to transition building height from two to three stories on North Haskell but not on Silver Creek Drive. The applicant is relying on architecture and landscaping to minimize massing impacts. far Building #4. The houses on Blue Moon Drive are all alley loaded and so their backyards abut the internal parking area and rear entrances to the mixed-use buildings. Proposed utilities are located underground and waste storage will be screened by an enclosure and site landscaping. Conclusion 17.67.050(H): Complies Transitions in Density. 6. Higher density, attached dwelling developments shall minimize impact on adjacent existing lower density, single-family dwelling neighborhoods by adjusting height, massing and materials and/or by providing adequate buffer strips with vegetative screens. 7. Adequate buffer strips with vegetative screens shall be placed to mitigate the impact of higher density development on adjacent lower density development. 8. New residential buildings within fifty feet of existing low density residential development shall be no higher than thirty-five feet and shall be limited to single-family detached or attached units, duplexes, triplexes or fourplexes. 9. New commercial buildings within fifty feet of existing low density residential development shall be no higher than forty-five feet. 10. Dwelling types in a TOD district or corridor shall be mixed to encourage interaction among people of varying backgrounds and income levels. 11. Zoning changes should occur midblock, not at the street centerline, to ensure that compatible building types face along streets and within neighborhoods. When dissimilar building types face each other across the street because the zoning change is at the street centerline or more infill housing is desired (for instance, duplexes across the street from single dwellings), design shall ensure similarity in massing, setback, and character. 12. Density should be increased incrementally, to buffer existing neighborhoods from incompatible building types or densities. Sequence density, generally, as follows: large lot single dwelling, small lot single dwelling, duplex, townhomes, courtyard multifamily apartments, large multifamily apartments, and mixed use buildings. Finding 17.67.050(1): Both Buildings 1 and 4 are located within fifty feet of neighboring residential development and the applicant has limited the height of Building 1 to 23 feet and the height of Building 4 to 33 feet. The heights of buildings 2 and 3 are 36 feet and consistent with standard CPMC 17.67.050(1)(4). Site landscaping proposed on the Landscape Plan will further screen on-site development from the existing residential development. The proposed development does not include changes in zoning. Conclusion 17.67.050(1): As demonstrated by the proposed building location, height and landscape design, the proposal is consistent with the standards and guidelines relative to transitions in density. H. Parking. 1. Parking Lot Location. a. Off-street surface parking lots shall be located to the side or rear of buildings. Parking at midblock or behind buildings is preferred. Finding 17.67.050(.1)(1): The font facades of the buildings face Twin Creeks Crossing Loop, North Haskell Street and Silver Creek Drive.. Per the Site Plan, the proposed off-street parking area is located to the rear of the buildings and is not located between a f ont fagade and the public street or accessway. The applicant has coordinated with the City to create excess public parking and to create a `main street' appearance in the Twin Creeks mixed-use core area. The off-street parking area is the same as that depicted in the TCMP. Conclusion 17.67.050(J)(1): Consistent. 2. Design. Finding 17.67.050(J)(2): The paved off-street parking areas are centrally located on the site to limit visibility and further screened with perimeter and interior landscaped areas. Trees are provided behind the curb in the landscaped areas as shown on the Site and Landscape Plans. Conclusion 17.67.050(J)(2): Consistent. 3. Additional Standards for LMR, MMR and HMR Zones. a. When parking must be located to the side of buildings, parking frontage should be limited to approximately fifty percent of total site frontage. b. Where possible, alleys should be used to bring the vehicle access to the back of the site. c. For parking structures, see Section 17.67.070(H). Finding 17.67.050(J)(3): The proposed mixed-use development has designed all of its parking so as to avoid using additional standards. Conclusion 17.67.050(J)(2): Complies. I. Landscaping. 1. Perimeter Screening and Planting. a. Landscaped buffers should be used to achieve sufficient screening while still preserving views to allow areas to be watched and guarded by neighbors. b. Landscaping should be used to screen and buffer unsightly uses and to separate such incompatible uses as parking areas and waste storage pickup areas. Finding 1 Z 67.050(K)(1): Landscaping is provided throughout the site consistent with the standards of this section.

The architectural characteristics of surrounding buildings, including historic buildings, should be considered, especially if a consistent pattern is already established by similar or complementary building articulation, building scale and proportions, setbacks, architectural style, roof forms, building details and fenestration patterns, or materials. In some cases, the existing context is not well defined, or may be undesirable. In such cases, a well-designed new project can establish a pattern or identity from which future development can take its cues. b.Certain buildings, because of their size, purpose or location, should be given prominence and distinct architectural character, reflective of their special function or position. Examples of these special buildings include theaters, hotels, cultural centers, and civic buildings. c. Attention should be paid to the following architectural elements: Building forms and massing; ii. Building height; iii. Rooflines and parapet features; iv. Special building features (e.g. towers, arcades, entries, canopies, signs and artwork); V, Window size, orientation and detailing; vi. Materials and color; and vii.

Prohibited building materials include the following: plain concrete, plain concrete block, corrugated metal, unarticulated board siding (e.g., T1-11 siding, plain plywood, sheet pressboard), Exterior Insulated Finish Systems (EIFS), and similar quality, nondurable materials. All visible building facades along or off a pedestrian route, including side or return facades, are to be treated as part of the main building elevation and articulated in the same manner. Continuity of use of the selected approved materials must be used on these facades. j. Ground -floor openings in parking structures, except at points of access, must be covered with grilles, mesh or lattice that obscures at least thirty percent of the interior view (e.g., at least thirty percent solid material to seventy percent transparency). k. Appropriately scaled architectural detailing, such as but not limited to moldings or cornices, is encouraged at the roofline of commercial building facades, and where such detailing is present, should be a minimum of at least eight inches wide. 1. Compatible building designs along a street should be provided through similar massing (building facade, height and width as well as the space between buildings) and frontage setbacks. Finding 17.67.070(D)(1): The fagades for the mixed-use buildings provide architectural detailing and massing consistent with the requirements of this section.
