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