Public hearing and consideration of a major revision to the Comprehensive Plan Transportation System Plan (TSP), adding a road diet to Highway 99 to meet signal warrants for the intersection of Highway 99/Scenic Avenue. Applicant: City of Central Point. File No. CPA-20001 Planning Director Stephanie Holtey gave a background for the Transportation System Plan (TSP) amendment stating the City is obligated to improve the intersection of Scenic Ave. & Highway 99 by 2029. The TSP identifies a project to improve safety and traffic flow at this location with a traffic signal when warrants are met. The signal warrants are not met with the five lane road configuration on Highway 99 so a road diet to reduce the lane width through the intersection would allow warrants to be met. She explained the TSP inventories the City's road system and identifies projects that are needed to meet the City's transportation needs over a 20 year period. The signaling of this intersection was identified as Project No. 230 and was intended to address safety issues and as an urban upgrade. Planning Commission Minutes Jan. 11, 2022 Page 2 Ms. Holtey explained the road diet would essentially change the configuration of Highway 99 from five lanes to three lanes with bicycle lanes from mile post 0.35 to milepost 1.95. She explained the pavement width would remain the same and would be able to be utilized in different configurations during emergencies. The Commissioners had questions about the pavement width and speed limit changes once the project is complete. Public Works Director Matt Samitore addressed the questions. He assured the commissioners that should an emergency evacuation be necessary, the police and public works would be on site to facilitate traffic through the area. Ms. Holtey reviewed the approval criteria for a major comprehensive plan amendment saying this application complies with Statewide Planning Goals, the Central Point Comprehensive Plan and the State Transportation Planning Rule. The public hearing was opened There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Kay Harrison made a motion to approve Resolution 892 forwarding a favorable recommendation to the City Council to amend the Comprehensive Plan to add road diet improvements to project no. 230 in the Transportation System Plan. Brad Cozza seconded the motion The Commissioners discussed the proposed changes and expressed favorable opinions.

Applicant: City of Central Point. Staff Source Justin Gindlesperger, Community Planner II Background Despite the regional popularity of mobile food businesses, their use in Central Point is limited due to restrictions on their placement. Currently, food trucks are allowed on private property within the Tourist and Office Professional (C-4) commercial zoning district as a permitted use, and within the Thoroughfare (C-5) commercial district as a conditional use. The Central Point Municipal Code (CPMC) does not permit the operation of food trucks within the right-of-way of streets or alleys. In response to increased interest from the public in permitting food trucks in Central Point, the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and Planning Commission met throughout last year (2021) to evaluate expanding the use of food trucks, permitting other mobile food businesses, and discuss possible regulations for their use within the City. The discussions at each meeting were generally favorable to expanding the use of food trucks, with members of both boards commenting that properly permitting food trucks and expanding the use can complement existing businesses and attract more visitors — creating more pedestrian traffic and increasing vibrancy downtown. It was through these discussions and comments from the Planning Commission and public that defined the types of businesses, hours of operation, locations, and standard operating procedures including power and utilities, adult beverage sales, trash and parking requirements. During this meeting, staff will present the proposed text amendments for mobile food businesses (Attachment "A") for a public hearing and consideration by the Planning Commission. Q Issues The primary issue is to establish clear standards for the expanded use of mobile food businesses that are consistent with statewide planning goals and the Central Point Comprehensive Plan. 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„ Action Open a public hearing and consider the proposed text amendments to CPMC 5.44, Mobile Food Businesses, close the public hearing and 1) forward to the Council for approval, 2) make revisions and forward the ordinance to the Council, or 3) deny the application.

Finding CPMC 17.10.200: The Planning Commission is being asked to consider Resolution No. 893 to forward a favorable recommendation to the City Council regarding proposed changes to Central Point Municipal Code (CPMC) Chapter 5.44, Mobile Food Businesses. Action on this Resolution satisfies CPMC 17.10.200(A). Planning Department Findings Page 1 of 6 13 Conclusion 17.10.200: Consistent. 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 impact beyond the immediate area. Major amendments are reviewed using the Type IV procedure in Section 17.05.500. B. Minor Amendments. Minor amendments are those that involve the application of adopted policy to a specific development application, and not the adoption of new policy (i.e., major amendments). Minor amendments shall follow the Type III procedure, as set forth in Section 17.05.400. The approval authority shall be the city council after review and recommendation by the planning commission. (Ord. 1989 §1(part), 2014; Ord. 1874 §3(part), 2006). Finding CPMC 17.10.300: The proposed amendments are legislative changes to land use regulations in CPMC 5.44. The changes consist of new text and regulations for future land use decisions, qualifying as a Major Amendment and have been processed in accordance with Type IV procedures in CPMC 17.05.500. Conclusion CPMC 17.10.300: Consistent. 17.10.400 Approval criteria. A recommendation or a decision to approve, approve with conditions or to deny an application for a text or map amendment shall be based on written findings and conclusions that address the following criteria: A. Approval of the request is consistent with the applicable statewide planning goals (major amendments only); Finding CPMC 17.10.400 (A): The proposed amendments have been reviewed against the Statewide Planning Goals and found to comply as follows: Goal 1- Citizen Involvement. This goal requires that all citizens be given the opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process. As evidenced by the land use notifications in the newspaper on 2-16-202Z notice to DLCD on December 28, 2021 and advertisement on the City's website (www.centralcointoregon.qov/nroiectsl, the City has duly noticed the application as necessary to allow the opportunity for citizen participation in the public hearings scheduled with the Planning Commission (3-1-2022) and City Council (3-10-2022) for the proposed text changes consistent with Goal 1. Goal 2 -- Land Use Planning. Goal 2 addresses the land use planning procedures in Oregon, including the need to adopt comprehensive plans and implementing ordinances based on factual information. The proposed amendments are consistent with existing policy in the comprehensive plan and are aimed at establishing clear standards with expanded opportunities. The proposed changes are based on factual information from the municipal code and guidance documents consistent with City standards. Planning Department Findings Page 2 of 6 14 Goal 3 — Agricultural Lands. Goal 3 addresses agricultural land within rural areas. The proposed text amendments do not affect agricultural lands or agricultural buffers that would be required adjacent to agricultural lands outside the urban growth boundary. On this basis, Goal 3 does not apply to the proposed text amendments. Goal 4 — Forest Lands. Goal 4 addresses forest lands within rural areas. The proposed text amendments do not affect forest lands or lands adjacent to forest lands; therefore, Goal 4 does not apply. Goal 5 — Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas and Natural Resources. 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 would not affect any implementing ordinances that require or protect open spaces, natural resources, or scenic or historic areas associated with significant Goal 5 resources in the City. Goal 6 — Air Water and Land Resources Qualit . Goal 6 requires local comprehensive plans and implementing ordinances to comply with state and federal regulations on air, water and land quality resource requirements. Because the proposed amendments are focused primarily on expanding commercial activity on developed sites, the amendments will not impact the ability of development projects to comply with any applicable state or federal air, water or land quality requirements. Goal 7 — Areas Subject to Natural Hazards. Goal 7 requires appropriate safeguards when planning for development in floodplains or other areas subject to natural hazards. In Central Point, floodplain development is regulated in accordance with CPMC 8.24, Flood Damage Prevention. Earthquake and fire safety is a function of building and fire codes. The proposed amendments would not impede or otherwise conflict with the standards set forth in CPMC 8.24, the building code or fire code as necessary to protect against flood, earthquake, or fire damages. Goal 8 — Recreational Needs. This goal requires communities to inventory existing parks and recreational facilities, and to project the needed facilities to serve all populations within the community. Amending standards and regulations for mobile food businesses within Central Point would not generate any additional need for parks and recreation services. Goal 9 — EconomV of the State. Goal 9 addresses diversification and improvement of the economy and specifically addresses commercial and industrial land. The proposed amendments provide regulations for temporary and semi -permanent commercial uses located on existing commercial lands. The amendments are consistent with Goal 9 as it strengthens the standards for development and will not adversely affect the availability of commercial lands within the City. Goal 10 - Housing. Goal 10 requires local communities to plan for and accommodate housing needs in the City. The proposed amendments regulate temporary and semi- permanent businesses on commercial properties. As such, the proposed text amendments are not expected to have impacts on housing needs in the City. Planning Department Findings Page 3 of 6 15 Goal 11 — Public Facilities and Services. Goal 11 calls for efficient planning of public services such as sewer, water, law enforcement and fire protection to assure that public services are planned in accordance with a community's needs and capacities rather than to be forced to respond to development as it occurs. Public facilities and services are planned in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan Public Facilities Element and updated master plans for water, stormwater, etc. The proposed amendments will not affect the provision of services or generate additional need for services not already planned. Goal 12 - Transportatlon. Goal 12 aims to provide a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. The proposed amendments provide regulations for temporary and semi -permanent commercial uses on commercially zoned lands that are considered in the current transportation system. As such, the proposed text amendments are not expected to have impacts on transportation facilities. Goal 13 — Ener . Goal 13 has to do with conserving all forms of energy encourages communities to look within existing urban areas for potential redevelopment before looking to expand. The proposed amendments provide regulations for temporary and semi -permanent commercial uses that provide additional commercial opportunities within the existing urban area. As such, the proposed text amendments are not expected to increase energy utilization. Goal 14 — Urbanization. Goal 14 has to do with managing the City's growth in conjunction with project need based on population and land use. The proposed amendments will not affect population growth or land need; therefore, Goal 14 does not apply. Goals 15- Applies to the Willamette Valley and does not apply to the City of Central Point. Goals 16-19 - Applies to coastal areas, which are not adjacent to or within the boundaries of the City of Central Point and are, therefore, not applicable. Conclusion CPMC 17.10.400(A): Based on the nature of the proposed amendments and the findings above, the proposed changes to CPMC 5.44 are consistent with all applicable Statewide Planning Goals. B. Approval of the request is consistent with the Central Point comprehensive plan (major and minor amendments); Finding CPMC 17.10.400 (B): A review of the Central Point Comprehensive Plan identified the following relevant policies: Citizen Involvement: Policy 3 — Citizen Influence. Whenever possible, citizens shall be given the opportunity to be involved in all phases of the planning process, including (1) data collection, (2) plan preparation, (3) adoption, (4) implementation, (5) evaluation, and (6) revision. Finding Citizen Involvement Po#cy 3 — Citizen Influence: The proposed text amendments are being initiated by the City based on feedback from the community to expand opportunities and establish regulations for temporary and semi -permanent mobile Planning Department Findings Page 4 of 6 16 food businesses. In order to promote awareness of the proposed amendments, the City published notice of two (2) duly public hearings that have been scheduled with the Planning Commission (31112022) and City Council (311012022) to receive testimony.

Economic Element: Policy 5 — Business Innovation. Encourage innovation, research, development, and commercialization of new technologies, products, and services through responsive regulations and public sector approaches. Finding Economic Element Polio 5 — Business Innovation. The City has based the proposed text amendments on identified needs within the business community for expanded opportunities for temporary and semi -permanent uses, notably mobile food businesses. For example, the Economic Element notes the limited availability of vacant commercial lands and low redevelopment potential of existing developed areas. The proposed amendments provide expanded opportunities to mobile food businesses that can locate on developed and under -developed lands on a temporary or semi -permanent basis, providing expanded business opportunities within the current development patterns Conclusion Economic Element Polio 5 — Business Innovation. Consistent. Land Use Element: Goal 1: To create an economically strong and balanced commercial sector of the community that is easily accessible, attractive, and meets the commercial needs of the local market area. Finding Land Use Goal 1; Mobile food vending can provide a low-cost way to enter business ownership, providing an increase in businesses and business activity in the commercially zoned areas of the city. The proposed amendments expand opportunities to expand the use of mobile food businesses within Central Point in response to growing interest in this industry. Conclusion Land Use Goal 1: Consistent. Conclusion CPMC 17.10.400(B):Based on the evaluation of applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, the proposed zoning text amendment is consistent with the Central Point Comprehensive Plan. Planning Department Findings Page 5 of 6 17 C. If a zoning map amendment, findings demonstrating that adequate public services and transportation networks to serve the property are either available, or identified for construction in the city's public facilities master plans (major and minor amendments); and Finding CPMC 17.10.400 (C): The proposed zoning text amendment does not include changes to the zoning map. Conclusion CPMC 17.10.400(C): Not applicable. D. The amendment complies with OAR 660-012-0060 of the Transportation Planning Rule. (Ord. 1989 §1(part), 2014; Ord. 1874 §3(part), 2006. Formerly 17.10.300(B)). Finding CPMC 17.10.400 (D): The proposed text amendment does not involve any changes that would affect trip generation or public transportation facilities, such as an increase in density or parking standards. Conclusion CPMC 17.10.400(D): Given the nature of the proposed amendments and lack of impact to traffic, existing or planned transportation facilities, the proposed amendment complies with the TPR. PART 3 — CONCLUSION As evidenced in findings and conclusions provided in Part 2, the proposed zone text amendment is consistent with applicable standards and criteria in the Central Point Municipal Code, including the Statewide Planning Goals (where applicable), Comprehensive Plan, and Statewide Transportation Planning Rule.
