Staff Report
Urgent Care Medical Office Site Plan and Architectural Review
1731
October 3, 2023
Consideration of a proposed 3,200 square foot medical office building and site improvements
that include constructing a new public street to provide access to the site. The 3.19 acre site is
located at 4404 Biddle Road and is identified on the Jackson County Assessor’s map as 37S
2W 01C, Tax Lot 701.
Applicant/Agent: 814 Services, LLC (Daniel Harris)
Associated Files: PAR-23001
Staff Source
Justin Gindlesperger, Community Planner III
Background
On September 5, 2023, the Planning Commission opened a public hearing to consider a Site
Plan and Architectural Review application to construct and operate an urgent care medical
facility at 4404 Biddle Road near the intersection of Biddle and Table Rock Road. At that time,
public comments and testimony were received expressing concerns about traffic impacts and
neighborhood livability due to construction of a new local street that would provide connectivity
between Biddle Road and Orchardview Drive and Ridgeway Avenue. Fire District #3 staff spoke
in favor of the application due to the need for additional emergency egress routes from the
adjoining residential neighborhood. After hearing the staff report and public testimony on the
application, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to continue the public hearing to the
October 3, 2023 meeting as needed for staff to evaluate potential options to address
neighborhood concerns in balance with emergency egress and transportation planning needs.
Staff has started working through the issues in partnership with the Fire District #3, the Central
Point Police and Public Works Departments. However, additional time is needed to complete
the review. The Applicant has requested a 42-day extension to the 120-day timeline as needed
to allow staff additional time to complete the professional review of this application.
Consequently, staff is recommending the public hearing be continued to the November 7, 2023
Planning Commission meeting.
There is a tentative partition plan (PAR-23001) application being reviewed concurrently to divide
the property into two (2) separate parcels and construct a Local Street along the west and north
property boundaries. Proposed Parcel 1 is approximately 0.6 acres on the west side of the
property and is the location for the proposed development (“Project Site”). Proposed Parcel 2 is
2.59 acres and is developed with an existing residence. At this time, there are no plans to
develop Parcel 2. The purpose of the Site Plan and Architectural Review application is to assure
the proposed site and building design are consistent with the land use and development
standards for the City in accordance with CPMC 17.72, Site Plan and Architectural Review.
7.A
Packet Pg. 12
Site Design:
The Site Plan (Attachment “A-1”) depicts the location of the structure along with proposed
parking, service and stormwater areas. The Landscape Plan (Attachment “A-2”) depicts
proposed landscape areas along street frontages, around the perimeter of the site and within
the parking lot.
Access:
The Applicant proposes to construct a public street as part of the tentative partition that will
provide primary access to the Project Site. The proposed street will connect with existing streets
from the adjacent development. Street trees and landscaping will be provided within the
landscape rows as shown on the Landscape Plan (Attachment “A-2”) and as conditioned. As
noted in the Fire District No 3 Staff Report (Attachment “E”), the connections to the existing
streets will improve emergency access to the adjacent neighborhood and improve evacuation
routes in the event of an emergency.
Building Design:
As depicted on the Building Plans (Attachment “A-4”), the proposed building features a
recessed entrance, windows, exposed exterior columns oriented westward towards the new
street. Material articulation includes changes in colors and material to provide visual interest and
scale. Varied rooflines, including projecting parapets and cornices, are used to break up
massing and vertical orientation. Building facades and wall faces that do not provide adequate
transparency provide additional design elements as required per CPMC 17.75.042(A)(4).
Maximum building height is 18-feet, below the maximum of 35-feet in the C-5 zoning district.
Issues
There are four (4) issues relative to this application as follows:
1. Off-Street Parking. The land development code sets forth maximum parking standards
for professional offices, including medical offices. The maximum allowable off-street
parking ratio is 1 space per 250 square feet of Gross Floor Area which is equivalent to13
spaces. The proposed site plan includes 25 off-street parking spaces.
Comment: The Planning Commission may authorize an increase to the maximum
parking allowance in accordance with CPMC 17.64.040(C), which requires submittal of a
Parking Demand Analysis. The Applicant’s TIA (Attachment “C”) provides a Parking
Demand Analysis based on the number of medical providers and the number of
scheduled clients to be seen during regular business hours. The analysis considers
patient overlap during peak treatment times. Patients typically arrive early to
appointments while other patients are still receiving treatment. Due to the nature of the
medical use to treat pain and injury, consideration of patient overlap is deemed
appropriate and reflects parking demand for the Applicant’s medical use. It is further
noted that the proposed development is adjacent to residential neighborhoods and there
are no opportunities for shared parking, nor is there transit service available at this time.
Consequently, staff recommends the evidence submitted into the record adequately
justifies the need for parking and that no other reasonable alternative exists that to allow
for the proposed increase to the maximum allowable parking.
7.A
Packet Pg. 13
2. Traffic Impacts. In accordance with CPMC 17.05.900(A)(2), a Traffic Impact Analysis
(TIA) is required for nonresidential developments that increase traffic volume by 250
average daily trips (ADT) or more; or that result in safety or operation concerns along
City, County or State roadways. As noted in the Public Works Department Staff Report
(Attachment “D”), the proposed development is not expected to generate trips beyond
the threshold for a TIA. However, the Project Site is located at the intersection of Biddle
Road and Table Rock Road, two (2) County Major Arterial streets.
Comment: The Applicant submitted a TIA that examines trip generation for the
proposed development to determine the effects on adjacent streets with current and
future traffic volumes (Attachment “C”). The findings of the TIA conclude that the
proposed medical office will not create adverse impacts on the transportation system.
Future development on the remaining acreage will require additional traffic analysis.
3. Construction Timing. In accordance with CPMC 16.12.070, the final plat for the
concurrent tentative partition application must be approved by the City and recorded by
the County prior to building permit issuance. In the alternative, the applicant may enter
into a development agreement with the City and bond for the improvements.
Comment: At this time, the Applicant’s construction timing is unknown. This issue is
being identified to clarify the applicable requirements for deferred public improvements
as part of the concurrent land division application relative to issuance of building permits
and Public Works Final Inspection/Certificate of Occupancy for Site Plan and
Architectural Review. Staff is recommending Conditions 1(a) and 2(a) to address the
requirements in the event final plat is not recorded prior to building permit issuance.
4. Public Comments. The City has not received any written comments in the record;
however, we have received informal concerns from residents in the adjoining residential
neighborhood regarding the proposed street connectivity. Specifically we have heard
that residents on Orchardview and Ridgeway Avenue are concerned about increased
traffic from users of the proposed facility and others aiming to cut through the
development.
The Applicant’s TIA (Attachment “C”) does not show any adverse impacts resulting from
the proposed development that would exceed the local street classification status.
Additionally, staff met with Fire District #3 on August 23, 2023 to discuss the proposal.
They recommend that the street connectivity remain as proposed to increase the points
of egress for fire, life, safety concerns. These recommendations are reflected in written
comments received from Fire District #3 (Attachment “E”).
Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law
The Planning Commission can approve, approve with conditions or deny the application based
on findings set forth in CPMC 17.75. The Site Plan and Architectural Review criteria are
addressed in the Applicant’s Findings dated July 10, 2023, July 22, 2023 and August 23, 2023
(Attachments “B-1,” “B-2” and “B-3”) and the Planning Department Supplemental Findings set
forth below. Where there is a conflict between the Applicant’s Findings and the Planning
Department Findings, the latter shall apply.
CPMC 17.75.031 Findings and Conclusions
7.A
Packet Pg. 14
A. Streets and Utilities. The public street and utility standards set forth in the City of Central
Point Department of Public Works Standard Specifications and Uniform Standard Details for
Public Works Construction shall apply to all development within the city.
Finding CPMC 17.75.031(A): The development includes construction of a proposed street
that will provide access to the site from Biddle Road. The proposed street is considered a
Local Access street and is required to comply with the Public Works Standard Specifications
for street construction. As noted in the Public Works Department Staff Report, the street
must be constructed with 25-foot paved width curb-to-curb, landscape row and 5-foot
sidewalk on the east side and a landscape row on the west side. Street trees are also
required on both sides of the street. Staff recommends a condition of approval requiring the
applicant to construct the proposed street to City of Central Point Standard Specifications.
Conclusion CPMC 17.75.031(A): Complies as conditioned.
CPMC 17.75.039 Findings and Conditions
G. Parking/Loading Facility Landscaping and Screening. Parking lot landscaping shall be used
to reinforce pedestrian and vehicular circulation, including parking lot entries, pedestrian
accessways, and parking aisles. To achieve this objective the following minimum standards
shall apply; however, additional landscaping may be recommended during the site plan and
architectural review process (Chapter 17.72). All parking lots shall be landscaped in
accordance with the following standards:

1. Perimeter and Street Frontage Landscaping Requirements. The perimeter and street
frontage for all parking facilities shall be landscaped according to the standards set forth
in Table 17.75.03.
Finding CPMC 17.75.039(G)(1): The perimeter and street frontage landscape for all
parking facilities shall be landscaped according to the standards set forth in Table
17.75.03. Biddle Road is classified as a Minor Arterial and requires a minimum planting
area width of 15-feet and 2 trees. The proposed street is considered a Local street and
requires a minimum planting area width of 10-feet and 4 trees. The Landscape Plan
(Attachment “A-4”) depicts a frontage planting area along Biddle Road that narrows to
approximately 11-feet at the western most property boundary with 2 trees and a frontage
planting width along the proposed public street of 10-feet with 4 trees. Staff recommends
7.A
Packet Pg. 15
a Condition of Approval requiring a revised landscape plan demonstrating compliance
with Table 17.75.03, incorporating a minimum 15-foot wide frontage planting area along
Biddle Road.
Conclusion CPMC 17.75.039(G)(1): Complies as conditioned.
2. Terminal and Interior Islands. For parking lots in excess of ten spaces all rows of parking
spaces must provide terminal a minimum of six feet in width to protect parked vehicles,
provide visibility, confine traffic to aisles and driveways, and provide a minimum of five
feet of space for landscaping. In addition, when ten or more vehicles would be parked
side-by-side in an abutting configuration, interior landscaped islands a minimum of eight
feet wide must be located within the parking row. For parking lots greater than fifty
parking spaces, the location of interior landscape island shall be allowed to be
consolidated for planting of large stands of trees to break up the scale of the parking lot.
The number of trees required in the interior landscape area shall be dependent upon the
location of the parking lot in relation to the building and public right-of-way:
a. Where the parking lot is located between the building and the public right-of-way,
one tree for every four spaces;
b. Where the parking lot is located to the side of the building and partially abuts the
public right-of-way, one tree for every six spaces;
c. Where the parking lot is located behind the building and is not visible from the
public right-of-way, one tree for every eight spaces.
Findings CPMC 17.75.039(G)(2): The Site Plan depicts 25 parking spaces as part of
the proposed development, located between the building and the public right-of-way of
the proposed street. Terminal landscape islands are provided throughout the side,
except in the northwest and southeast corners of the parking area. The northern parking
row exceeds 10 spaces and incorporates an interior landscape island.
The Landscape Plan depicts all landscaping proposed for the site, including along street
frontages, parking perimeters, interior parking landscape, street trees, stormwater
management areas and areas adjacent to the proposed building. As noted in Findings
above, and conditioned in the Staff Report, additional landscaping is required for street
trees and street frontage landscape areas, increasing the total landscape area on site.
Based on conditions of approval and review of the landscape plan, staff recommends
approval of the Landscape Plan as conditioned.
Conclusions CPMC 17.75.039(G)(2): Complies as conditioned.
3. Bioswales. The use of bioswales within parking lots is encouraged and may be located
within landscape areas subject to site plan and architectural review. The tree planting
standards may be reduced in areas dedicated to bioswales subject to site plan and
architectural review.
Findings CPMC 17.75.039(G)(3): Bioswales are not proposed in the parking area
landscape.
Conclusion CPMC 17.75.039(G)(3): Not applicable.

INNOVATIVE TRAFFIC CONSULTING, PLLC
INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This memorandum summarizes the traffic impact analysis associated with the proposed land
use of an “Urgent Care Clinic” located at 4404 Biddle Road, Central Point, Oregon. The 6.5
acres lot is located at the northwest quadrant of Table Rock Road and Biddle Road. The site
is currently vacant and will be sub-divided for realization of full land use potential at a future
date. Figure 1 illustrates the vicinity map of the subject developments. The proposed
development will utilize only 0.75 acres of the total lot and is planned to have a 3,198 square
feet urgent care clinic with 25 parking stalls. The remaining parcel will be developed at an
unknown point in time and will have shared public road access with the urgent care
development’s access. The public road access is proposed to be located approximately 500
feet west of the signalized intersection of Biddle Road and Table Rock Road. It would be lined
up with the other public road intersection to the south serving other developments and land uses
in the area. The intersection to the south is channelized with raised median that would limit its
access control to right-in, right-out and left-in. This channelized arrangement would automatically
limit the access control of the proposed public road intersection access for the proposed
development to right-in, right-out and left-in. Figure 2 illustrates the site plan for business.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The traffic report has evaluated the impact of the proposed urgent care clinic at the intersections
of Biddle Road and Table Rock Road & Biddle Road and Meadow Brook Drive. It has also evaluated
the development’s public road access location at Biddle Road, for safety and operations, at
buildout of the clinic and the development’s shared public road access with other land uses on
the parcel for a 20-year traffic horizon.
The urgent care is estimated to generate a total of 120 trips per day. The development is also
estimated to generate 9 AM trips and 12 PM trips during the peak hour of adjacent street traffic.
Based on the assumption of most intense permitted land use for the remaining pieces of 5.75
acres parcel, the potential land uses are projected to generate a total of 85 AM trips and 165 PM
trips during the peak hour of adjacent street traffic. The development’s access at Biddle Road,
with the combined trips of urgent care clinic and most intense assumed land use in the remaining
vacant piece of land is projected to be operate satisfactorily at 20-year traffic horizon. Both the
intersections of Biddle Road and Table Rock Road & Biddle Road and Meadow Brook Drive would be
operating within the limits of Jackson County mobility standard at buildout of the urgent care
development.

A review of reported crash data from ODOT at the study intersections and Biddle Road
corridor along the site frontage for the most recent five-year period available.
Analysis Methodology and Applicable Standards
All Level of Service analyses described in this report were performed in accordance with the
procedures stated in the HCM. The operations and queuing analyses presented in this report
were completed using Synchro 11 and Sim-Traffic 11 software.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The proposed development is situated in the northwest quadrant of Table Rock Road and Biddle
Road. The 3.2-acre site is currently vacant and will be sub-divided for realization of full land use
potential at an unknown future date. The proposed development will utilize only 0.75 acres of
the total lot and is planned to have its access at the western boundary of the property located
approximately 500 feet west of Rock Table Road intersection and approximately 500 feet east of
Meadow Brook Drive intersection. The development access roughly lines up with the intersection
to the south serving a number of businesses. The intersection to the south has managed access
allowing right-in, right-out and left-in. The movement is restricted via the median curb. The
median access is set to automatically restrict the proposed development access, at the proposed
access location, to right-in right-out and left-in.
The land-use to the south of Biddle Road and west of Table Rock Road is primarily retail and
commercial, including COSTCO. The land-use to the north of Biddle Road and west of Table Rock
Road is primarily residential. The subject property abuts residential subdivision and would
connect to subdivision streets of Orchard View Avenue and Ridgeway Avenue. Biddle Road in the
vicinity of the proposed development is mostly fully developed.
Biddle Road is an east-west oriented, five-lane county road with bike lanes and a posted speed
of 45 MPH. It has sidewalk all along except for a small portion fronting the proposed
development. It is currently classified as an urban minor arterial and under review by
Transportation System Plan to be reclassified as a urban major arterial.
Table Rock Road east of the proposed development is a fully improved five-lane urban major
arterial with bike lanes and sidewalk. It has a posted speed of 45 MPH and currently carries
approximately 15,000 vehicles per day. The intersection of Biddle Road and Table Rock Road is
signalized. The next signalized intersection on Biddle Road is on Hamrick Road located
approximately 2,000 feet west Table Rock Road.

TRAFFIC VOLUME AND PEAK HOUR OPERATIONS
Turning movement data for the intersection of Biddle Road and Meadow Brook Drive and
“Average Daily Traffic” volume along Biddle Road were collected in April 2023. For the purpose
of this traffic study, the AM and PM peak hour turning movement data for intersection of Biddle
Road and Table Rock Road were utilized using the available April 2022 traffic data.
Appendix “C” contains traffic count worksheet used in this analysis. Synchro software (HCM) was
utilized to evaluate the intersection volume to capacity ratios, delays and intersection level-of-
service.
Queuing
The SimTraffic queuing analysis (provided in later section of this report)
Level of Service Analysis
Tables 1a and 1b display the existing levels of service at each of the study intersections during
weekday AM and PM peak hours. The county has adopted a Level-of-service D and v/c ratio of
0.90 as its mobility standard for signalized intersection and LOS E for two-way stop-controlled
intersection in the county. As shown in the table below, each of the study intersections currently
meets the county mobility standards.

SITE TRIP GENERATION
ITE trip generation manual does not have a category for Urgent care facility. It only has Hospital,
Nursing care, Clinic and free-standing emergency room. By definition an urgent care center is a
convenient option when someone's regular physician is on vacation or unable to offer a timely
appointment or when illness strikes outside of regular office hours. According to Wikipedia
“Urgent care is a category of walk-in clinic focused on the delivery of ambulatory care in a
dedicated medical facility outside of a traditional emergency department". Based on the
functionality of Urgent Care Center, the land use closely resembles Clinic. According to ITE trip
generation manual land use code 630 “A clinic is a facility that provides limited diagnostic and
outpatient care but is unable to provide prolonged in-house medical care. It would therefore be
appropriate to estimate the trip generation of an “Urgent Care Center” based on ITE trip
generation manual land use code 630 “Clinic”.

TRIP DISTRIBUTION
Trip distribution assumption for the urgent care clinic is based on area wide network,

that a left-in but no left-out would be permitted from the development’s access along Biddle
Road. All trips to the clinic are assumed as primary trips. For cross-circulation purposes, it is
assumed that Orchard View Avenue and Ridgeway Avenue would connect to the development
property. Figures 3 thru 9 illustrate the trip distribution, traffic assignments and trip impact
from the development to the roadway network and are included in appendix B of this report.
DEVELOPMENT ACCESS AND ON-SITE CIRCULATION
The development has access at its western boundary line of the property. That access
approximately lines up with the intersection to the north. The existing intersection to the north
has left-out restricted via median curb. The geometric layout of the median curb automatically
restricts the access movement of the proposed development to right-in, right-out and left-in.
The proposed access connection would also be utilized by the future land-use in the remaining
vacant land. To provide cross-circulation, the development internal road will connect to the
subdivision streets to the south and west.
TURN LANE EVAULATION AT THE SITE ACCESS
The 2023 average daily traffic volume along westbound Biddle Road is 9056. Biddle Road
already has a center turn lane. As indicated in graphical representation in appendix C, a right
turn lane at the access point will not be warranted at the buildout of the urgent care clinic or
at the 20-year forecasted traffic volume including trips from the vacant land.
The existing eastbound left turn lane will very easily accommodate the eastbound left turning
trips into the development including trips from best and highest future land use. The highway
capacity manual states that traffic signal within 1000 feet of a left turn access provides
additional gaps in traffic stream to facilitate left turn from the main street. Additional traffic
stream gap data was collected along westbound Biddle Road at approximately the
development’s access location. The gap data was collected in bins of 4-6 seconds, 7-9 seconds,
10-12 seconds and greater than 13 seconds. Data indicated that there were 143 gaps in traffic
stream during the AM peak hour including 93 gaps greater than 13 seconds. There were a total
of 169 gaps, 4 seconds or greater during the PM peak hour including 88 gaps greater than 13
seconds. On average, left turning traffic from the main street accepts a gap of 4 seconds in the
traffic stream to turn left and follow-up vehicles accept gaps of 2.1 seconds. Based on the
review of gap data it can be surmised that the actual level-of-service at the development access
location would be much better and the left turn queues would be very short or non-existent
as compared to predicted queue by Sim-traffic software that assumes uniform and evenly
arrival of vehicles. The gaps study is included in appendix C.

SITE ACCESS LEVEL-OF-SERVICE AND TRAFFIC OPERATIONS.
Tables 4a and 4b display the level-of-service (with urgent care trips only) at each of the study
intersections and the access point during weekday AM and PM peak hours. As shown in the table
below, each of the study intersections currently meets the county mobility standards. Synchro
analysis indicates that the unsignalized development access point, including the left-turn from
the main-line will perform satisfactorily at build-out of the urgent care development. The queuing
analysis for the turn lanes is addressed separately in this report.

TRIP GENERATION FOR BEST AND HIGHEST LAND USE IN THE REMAINING VACANT PARCEL.
The entire piece of property located at the northwest quadrant of Table Rock Road Biddle Road
is 3.2-acre. Of that 0.75 acres will be utilized by the proposed urgent care clinic. The remaining
2.45 acres will be utilized by other developments at an unknown time in the future. Based on
direction from the city, this study will assume 30% of the 2.45 acres will be utilized as Gross Floor
Area, which will be used in estimating the future trip generation. The city has directed the traffic
study to make the following assumption for future land use. Per the direction of city of Central
Point the following highest and best land-use were assumed.

The trip distribution for the remaining vacant land was assumed roughly the same as urgent
care land use with 55% trips from the west, 40% trips from the east and 5% from Meadowbrook
Drive and internal subdivision to the north. No reduction for pass-by or internal trips was
assumed. The trip distribution and trip assignment for future land-use are illustrated in figures
9 thru 11 and included in appendix B.
BIDDLE ROAD SITE ACCESS TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
For the purpose of this traffic study, only the intersection of Biddle Road and the site access
public road was studied based on 20-year projected traffic volume and the combined trip impact
of urgent care plus trips from the future land-use on vacant land. It was specifically evaluated
for safety and operations of the eastbound left-in movement. The most difficult movement from
a driveway to an arterial i.e., left-out would be restricted.
Figures 10 & 11 (appendix C) illustrate the 20- year projected traffic at Biddle Road and the
movement at Biddle Road and site access. The SYNCHRO and Sim-traffic analysis for the site
access and other study intersections is included in appendix C of this report.

PARKING ASSESSMENT
The applicant has estimated the required number of parking spots for urgent care clinic as 25.
The city has estimated the number of parking spots adequate for the land-use as 13. The
applicant believes 13 parking spots would be highly inadequate to serve the clientele.
As explained in the trip generation section earlier, by definition an urgent care center is a
convenient option when someone's regular physician is on vacation or unable to offer a timely
appointment. Therefore besides functioning as a supplemental wing of a regular clinic, it can
also be classified as hybrid between a regular clinic and a traditional “emergency department".
Specifically, during cold and flu seasons, other seasonal outbreaks and unforeseen demand for
medical attention by the general population, urgent care routinely experience a cyclical patient
load throughout the year.
As can be seen from the urgent care floor plan (appendix A), the urgent care is set up to be
staffed by up to 15 employees (including doctors, aids, nurses, lab and X-Ray technicians,
reception, front desk etc.) during peak demand season. The average staff for this urgent care
during the peak demand season is expected to be 10. The average time a patient spends in an
urgent care is about an hour. There could be five to six patients being attended to in the exam
room, procedure room, X-ray and lab etc. At the same time just as many patients are typically
waiting to be seen or in need of medical attention.

PUBLIC WORKS STAFF REPORT
August 23, 2023
AGENDA ITEM: A two-lot partition (PAR – 23001) and Site Plan and Architectural Review (SPAR-23002)
application to construct a 3,200-square-foot medical clinic and to divide the property into two parcels - 37S
02W 01C, Tax Lot 701. Agent: Daniel Harris
Traffic:
The proposed development will generate less than 25 peak-hour trips, the threshold for a Traffic Impact
Analysis (TIA). However, the project site takes access from two Major County Arterial Streets, Biddle and
Table Rock Roads. Given proximity of the site to the intersection of these roads, a TIA was required to assess
the safety and operational and functional needs for the proposed site access. The City uses the International
Transportation Engineers Manual 10th generation, and based on the studies, this development will generate
11.42 peak-hour trips.
For the partition, an existing county public access road currently exists. The applicant shall widen that access
road to a new public street. New access is provided via standard city streets and a new right-in/right-out access
on Biddle Road.
Existing Infrastructure:
Water: There are 8-inch water lines in Ridgeway and Orchardview Drive and a 12-inch line on Biddle
Road.
Streets: The development is served by a Jackson County Arterial on Biddle Road and two city streets,
Ridgeway and Orchardview.
Stormwater: There are county storm facilities in Biddle Road, a 15-inch line in Orchardview, and a 30-inch
line on Ridgeway.
Background:
This application is for a two (2) parcel partition and medical office adjacent to existing public infrastructure.
Issues:
The applicant is required to extend public infrastructure to service both parcels, including water and
stormwater. This development has an existing county public access road on the west and north sides. The
applicant is widening this access to street standards. The proposal includes connecting the new public street to
existing streets: Orchardview and Ridgeway Avenue. The existing streets were planned for future extension
but have been dead-end streets for approximately twenty years. After conferring with public safety, public
works believe the connection of the streets is needed for fire, life, and safety reasons.
Conditions of Approval:
Prior to the final plat approval, the following conditions shall be satisfied:
1. Public Street– Applicant shall dedicate land to widen the existing public access to City street
standards (ST-05), which is 25’ curb to curb with no parking on either side, with landscape row and
sidewalk on the east side. A landscape row is required for the west side.

Re: PAR‐23001 & SPAR‐23002, Urgent Care, Tax Lots 701, Map 37S 2W 01C
There are existing 8 inch sewer mains to the west along Orchardview Avenue and to the north along
Ridgeway Avenue. Sewer service for the proposed Urgent Care will require a short sewer main
extension into the right‐of‐way from either 8 inch main. Sewer construction and service extension will
not be a condition of approval for the proposed partition.
Rogue Valley Sewer Services requests that approval of this development be subject to the following
conditions:
1. The applicant must submit sewer construction drawings to RVSS for review and approval.
2. Sewer connection permits will not be issued until any proposed main is constructed and accepted by
RVSS.
3. The applicant must submit architectural plumbing plans to RVSS for the calculation of SDC fees
associated with sewer connection permits.
4. The applicant must obtain sewer connection permits from RVSS and pay all related fees.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions.
