-No questions. B. Overview, Sections 100 -700 Planning Manager Don Burt stated that draft Sections 100 – 700 of the Urban Renewal Plan were presented to the commission at the last meeting.
Except for section 400 these are boiler plate sections. Instead of going over each section staff asked if there were any questions that did not involve section 400. None were mentioned.
C. Section 400, Vision, Mission, and Goals Mr. Burt stated that Section 400 focuses on the urban renewal plan in regards to vision, mission and goals. The plan needs to clearly communicate
the ultimate objective, establish goals, and define the Board’s responsibilities. The strategic plan has set aside goal statements for the Central Point Downtown. When the Strategic
Plan was created citizens wanted to enhance the downtown as a culturally unique and vibrant focal point that bridges the past and present. They encouraged the city to revitalize and
redevelop the downtown in support of retail, office, housing, arts and entertainment. We want to promote a pleasant and safe downtown environment that is pedestrian friendly. To Age
ndaCity of Central Point Development Commission Minutes June 23, 2011 Page 2 There was discussion regarding the possible vision for Downtown and East Pine Street areas. Maintaining a
small town feel was a common theme throughout the City Strategic Plan. They were presented with the Urban Renewal Goals that will be part of the plan once it is approved. The Commission
is to administer the East Pine Street Urban Renewal Program, eliminating blight and depreciating property values within the urban renewal area; revitalize the East Pine Street corridor
urban renewal area as the city’s traditional mixed use urban core; and maximize public and private investment in achieving the goals of the East Pine Street Corridor Urban Renewal Program.
The Goals discussed are: a) Resolve the problems related by existing blighted conditions so that unused and underused properties can be placed in productive condition and utilized at
their highest and best use in accordance with the Downtown Plan. b) Provide programs for the development, redevelopment, and rehabilitation of property in ways that will: • Re-enforce
the pedestrian and mixed-use character of the downtown, and insure a more attractive, functional, and economically viable urban core; • Encourage job creation through the expansion of
existing businesses and the development of new businesses; • Increase property values so that the area will contribute its fair share to the costs of public services, provided by the
City and all affected taxing districts; and • Conserve and place into productive use historically significant places and properties. c) Respond to the needs and the concerns of all people
of the City of Central Point as expressed in the City’s strategic plan Central Point Forward, Fair City Vision 2020. d) Encourage the maximum amount of public involvement and citizens
participation in the formation and implementation of the Urban Renewal Plan by: • Explaining and discussing the details of the Urban Renewal Process to the public and special interest
groups. • To To include urban renewal activities and updates in the City’s periodic newsletters and local news media. • Meeting with the affected taxing bodies to explain the long-term
benefits of the Urban Renewal Program and its relationship to their fiscal concerns. e) To provide an adequate amount of properly located off-street parking in the downtown area including
a plan and program to effectively pay for, manage, and maintain such parking. f) To create positive linkages among the four sectors of the Urban Renewal Areas; the Downtown, East Pine
Street Corridor, Hwy 99 and the Residential mixed-use areas, in a manner that strengthens the area as a highly desirable urban place. g) To cooperate and coordinate with the Rogue Valley
Transit District in their efforts to improve transportation services in the Urban Renewal Area. To Agenda
City of Central Point Development Commission Minutes June 23, 2011 Page 3 h) To develop, and implement, a plan for the undergrounding of present overhead utilities that are located in
areas of maximum pedestrian activity. i) To cooperate and coordinate with the program to improve Bear Creek and the Bear Creek Greenway and to recognize the positive values and benefits
that these improvements will have on the revitalization of the Urban Renewal Area. j) To improve the visual appearance, capacity and traffic flow of East Pine Street and other streets
within the Urban Renewal Area that carry the major share of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. k) To cooperate with property owners in the rehabilitation of their buildings and property.
l) To install coordinated street furniture, night lighting and landscaping in areas of maximum pedestrian concentration. m) To assure, through the construction/installation, or replacement
that publicly owned utilities such as water, storm drains, and sanitary sewers, are adequate in capacity to service the needs of all uses within the urban renewal district. n) To leverage
the Agency’s financial resources to the maximum extent possible with other public and private investment and other public funding sources. The Commission concurred with the draft vision
and goals, with the exception of the reference to “small town feel”. Some of the members are not convinced that we should stick with the small town feel description for Central Point.
At this time the plan needs to reflect the current Strategic Plan goals but does not need to be worded in a way that it would restrict future plans. Mr. Burt noted that the urban renewal
plan can be re-worded to achieve the “small town” objective without having to reference “small town”. City Manager Phil Messina stated that the “small town” concern can be addressed
when the Strategic Plan is reviewed or revised in 2012. D. Distribution of draft Urban Renewal Plan, Sections 800 -1400 Mr. Burt distributed the draft sections 800 – 1400 for the Commission
Commission to review for the next meeting. The July meeting will be to discuss these sections. The meeting in August is scheduled to be a Public Hearing (tentative) on the boundaries
and Projects. September will be discussions on Financial and fiscal impact analysis. VI. ADJOURNMENT Kay Harrison moved to adjourn, Kelly Geiger seconded, all said “aye” and the meeting
was adjourned at 6:55 p.m. Dated: _________________________ Chair Mayor Hank Williams ATTEST: __________________________ City Recorder To Agenda
Page 1 of 18 MEMORANDUM DISCUSSION ITEMS July 28, 2011 Agenda To: Central Point Development Commission Chris Clayton, Assistant City Administrator From: Don Burt, Planning Manager Subject:
City of Central Point Urban Renewal Plan Date: July 28, 2011 At the July 28th meeting the Commission will be discussing potential urban renewal projects (see attached redrafted Section
800). The meeting will begin with a brief discussion of the draft boundaries, and then proceed to Section 800. It is not expected that all projects will be discussed at the July 28th
meeting and that discussion on the remaining projects will be continued to the August meeting. At this time it is appropriate to introduce the draft boundaries, both to provide a geographic
context to the project discussions, as well as to experience the interplay between projects and the boundary. The projects list is derived from past and current studies/plans completed
by the City and summarized in Section 800. In Section 800 the project descriptions are kept general to endure changes over time and additional planning/design/engineering. The project
list is open to discussion and modification by the Commission. The term “Downtown Core Area” is described in the Map entitled Downtown Structure Diagram. There are 15 projects listed
in Section 800 with a total cost of approximately $47,000,000 (Table 1). At this time no costs were identified for the Economic Incentives Program. The cost of the projects is based
on prior studies and adjusted to today’s values. Before completion of the project list the costs will be adjusted based on probable future increases in cost based on when it is estimated
of each projects estimated completion date. Also, it is expected that other sources of revenue, other than tax increment financing, will be available to assist in the costs of each project.
A more precise understanding of what constitutes each Section 800 project is presented in Tables 1a through 1d. Maps 1a through 1d identify the location of each project relative to the
draft urban renewal boundary. You will note that there are areas adjacent to the draft boundary representing To Agenda
Page 2 of 18 possible areas for consideration for inclusion in the boundary. These areas will be discussed at the meeting. Table 2 illustrates the percentage relationships of the draft
boundary vs. the City as a whole relative to area and assessed value. The following materials on pages 3 – 18 will be the focus of discussion. To Agenda
