Planning Director Stephanie Holtey presented the city initiated annexation for 34.64
acres within the Bear Creek Greenway (BCG) South of Peninger Road, North of
Table Rock Road Bridge and East of Interstate 5. This is a full consent annexation as
the property belongs to the City of Central Point. The City of Medford Council will
discuss the Consent to Annex Agreement at their meeting on October 20th for the

received that agreement we can begin the process with the State to annex these
lots.

VIII. ORDINANCES, AND RESOLUTIONS
A. Ordinance No. _______, an Ordinance Amending in Part Central Point
Municipal Code Chapter 8.02 Regarding Chronic Nuisance Property and
Chapter 8.45 Regarding Public Nuisance Remedy
City Attorney Sydnee Dryer explained revisions to the city's chronic nuisance
ordinance in order to provide greater flexibility to address properties that have
multiple nuisance violations but fall outside the limited time frame of the city's
existing code. The changes will update, reorganize and streamline the process for
addressing chronic nuisance properties.
Under the existing code a chronic nuisance could only be declared if the property
was subject to two or more nuisance activities in a 30-day period. Under the revised
code staff can consider properties with multiple nuisance activities over time frames
defined at 30-days, 120 days, and 365 days. Staff also recommended providing a
clear process for how to address chronic nuisance properties by developing a
chronic nuisance abatement plan.
Mrs. Dryer stated a few changes that will be made to the ordinance for the second
reading. She explained which portions will be changed and the reasons for those

changes.
There was discussion regarding what would instigate a chronic nuisance and what
would just be neighbors complaining. What would constitute removing someone from
their home under this code.
Captain Logue stated that removing someone from their home would be an extreme
case. Most cases can be worked out to the satisfaction of the city code without
removing someone from their home.
Kelley Johnson moved to second reading an Ordinance amending in part
Central Point Municipal Code Chapter 8.02 regarding chronic nuisance
property and chapter 8.45 regarding public nuisance remedy with
administrative changes by the City Attorney.

IX. BUSINESS
A. Rogue Disposal CPI Request & Calculation 2022
City Manager Chris Clayton stated that there are two corrections to the staff report
correcting one percentage and one date. It does not change the numbers that are
being presented. The Franchise Agreement allows for an annual consumer price
index (CPI) rate adjustment. The City must review any adjustment proposal to
ensure mathematical accuracy and compliance with all franchise agreement
provisions. Staff has reviewed the proposed 8.5% rate increase and the current
franchise agreement requirements. The increase is both accurate and compliant with
the current franchise agreement language.
Taneea Browning moved to approve Rogue Disposal and Recycling' s 2022
proposed CPI rate adjustment of 8.5%.
RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Taneea Browning, Ward IV
SECONDER: Melody Thueson, Ward III
AYES: Williams, Olsen, Johnson, Thueson, Browning, Hernandez,

B. Central Point Community Center Financial Update
Mr. Clayton explained the financial projections presented tonight are based on cost
estimates associated with a variety of design concepts for the Central Point
Community Center. These concepts and costs are subject to change based on policy
set by the Central Point City Council. Future modification of these designs will likely
occur to meet the City's current financial restraints.

City Council Minutes
October 13, 2022
Page 4
After offering several financial strategies to the Council in September, City Staff met
with Jackson County Administration to review our options and discuss concerns,
comments, and recommendations. City Staff revisited financial strategy options and
is now proposing an additional option predicated on the City's Urban Renewal
District servicing Community Center Debt from 2026 to 2040. In 2040, after the
Urban Renewal District concludes, the City's general fund would service the
remaining debt obligations.
Mr. Clayton explained the pros and cons of the lease back option presented the last
time we discussed this item. There was discussion regarding the cost to operate the
facility after it is complete. The name and marketing plans will be looked at during the
design phase.
Taneea Browning moved to authorize the city participation in a joint
community center design process and for city staff to prepare the 2023-2025
City of Central Point and Urban Renewal Budgets in a manner consistent with
the current financial strategy recommendation.

Additionally on October 10th the City received a resignation notice from Mitchel Price
stating that he would be moving out of town due to unexpected family obligations.

to operate a preschool at 81 Freeman Road. The Commission initially
expressed concerns about traffic impacts to Freeman Road but Public Works
stated that the proposal does not exceed the threshold for requiring a new
traffic impact analysis. The Commission unanimously voted to approve the
CUP subject to staff’s recommendations with one additional condition that
limits the schools growth to no more than 36 students.
The Commission considered an amendment to the Downtown and East Pine
Street Corridor Revitalization Plan relative to its conformance with the Central
Point Comprehensive Plan. After a presentation the Commission found that
the Plan Amendment is designed to implement the community’s vision and
priorities articulated in the Strategic Plan and remains consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
The Commission was introduced to the Transportation Element in the
Comprehensive Plan. The Commission will hear this item in November as a
legislative amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.

City of Central Point
Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Administration
FROM: Chris Clayton, City Manager
MEETING DATE: October 27, 2022
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and First Reading - An Ordinance Making Certain
Determinations and Findings Relating to and Approving the Downtown &
East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan Amendment and Directing
That Notice of Approval be Published
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
Public Hearing
Ordinance 1st Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
PURPOSE
The Central Point City Council is being asked to hold a hearing on October 27, 2022 to gain
input regarding the Council’s consideration and potential adoption of the proposed Downtown &
East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan Amendment (“Amendment”) and to vote on the
ordinance to adopt the Amendment at the November 17, 2022 meeting.
BACKGOUND
The purpose of the amendment is to remove property and to add property and projects to the
Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan. The removed properties are not
taxable and projects are not contemplated on them. The added properties will enable the
Development Commission to allocate funding to the Bear Creek Greenway design and
implementation, to add the Beebe Road Bridge Extension and to place the future community
center within the urban renewal area boundary to allow funding to be allocated to the project.
This amendment is a substantial amendment to the Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor
Revitalization Plan as the additon of acreage is in excess of a cumulative 1% of the acreage of
the urban renewal area (ORS 457.085 (i) (A)).
The project for a community center is already a part of the Plan, however, the location has
changed to be a joint center with Jackson County expected to be located at the Jackson County
Expo site. A community center is not specifically identified as a public building project in ORS
457.010 (12). In addition, the community center project was already a part of the Plan prior to
the inclusion of a definition of public building project in OR 457. If for some reason the
community center project with Jackson County is not able to proceed, the Development
Commission still has the authority to expend funds on the project elsewhere within the Plan
boundary.
The existing maximum indebtedness of $43,177,530 is not proposed to be increased, and
therefore, there are no increased impacts to the taxing jurisdictions beyond those calculated
8.A
Packet Pg. 15
when the original Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan was adopted. After
the Amendment, the Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan Area (Area) will
consist of approximately 514 acres of land including rights of way, still within the 25% limitation
of urban renewal acreage in a city.
The Plan is projected to continue tax increment revenue collection through FYE 2039. At that
time, the urban renewal area is anticipated to be terminated and the properties would go back
on the regular roll.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice to citizens of consideration of an ordinance was given via utility bills. Notice was also
placed on the City of Central Point website.
PROCESS
The process for approval has included the following steps, in accordance with ORS 457.
1. Preparation of a plan including opportunity for citizen involvement. All meetings listed
below were open public meetings. In addition, information was posted to the City of
Central Point website.
2. August 11, 2022 Central Point Development Commission review of the proposed
Amendment and accompanying Report and motion to forward it to the Public Review
process.
3. Review and recommendation by the Central Point Planning Commission. The Planning

and Conclusions of Law that the Amendment conformed to the Central Point
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Notice to all citizens of Central Point of a hearing on the ordinance before the City
Council via utility bills.
5. Forwarding a copy of the proposed Amendment and the Report to the governing body of
each taxing district. The formal taxing districts letters were sent out on August 12, 2022.
6. The Jackson County briefing occurred on October 18, 2022. They voted on a Resolution
to approve the amendment on October 26, 2022.
7. Hearing by City Council and adoption of the proposed Amendment and accompanying
Report by a non-emergency ordinance. The ordinance must be a non-emergency
ordinance, which means that the ordinance does not take effect until 30 days after its
approval and during that period of time may be referred to Central Point voters if a
sufficient number of signatures are obtained on a referral petition.
ORDINANCE PUBLICATION
The ordinance also calls for publication of a notice that the Council has adopted the ordinance,
for the recording of the Amendment by the Jackson County Clerk and for transmitting the
Amendment to the Jackson County Assessor.

incorporated limits and to property owners of the unincorporated parcels
within the Area.
I. On October 27, 2022 the City Council held a public hearing to review and
consider the Amendment, the Report, the recommendation of the Central
Point Planning Commission and the public testimony received on or
before that date and to receive additional public testimony.
J. The City Council found that the Amendment conforms with all applicable
legal requirements.
K. After consideration of the record presented through this date, the City
Council does by this Ordinance desire to approve the Amendment.
THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF CENTRAL POINT DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1 The Amendment complies with all applicable requirements of ORS
Chapter 457 and the specific criteria of 457.095(1) through (7), in that, based on the information provided in the Report, the Central Point Planning Commission Recommendation, and the public testimony before the City Council:
1. The process for the adoption of the Amendment, has been conducted in
accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 457 of the Oregon
Revised Statutes and all other applicable legal requirements;
2. The area designated in the Amendment as the Downtown & East Pine
Street Corridor Revitalization Plan Area is blighted, as defined by ORS
457.010(1) and is eligible for inclusion within the Amendment because of
conditions described in the Report in the Section “Existing Physical,
Social, and Economic Conditions and Impacts on Municipal Services”,
including the existence of inadequate streets and other rights of way, open
spaces and utilities and underdevelopment of property within the Area
(ORS 457.010(1)(e) and (g);
3. The rehabilitation and redevelopment described in the Amendment to be
undertaken by the CPDC is necessary to protect the public health, safety
or welfare of the City because absent the completion of urban renewal
projects, the Area will fail to contribute its fair share of property tax
revenues to support City services and will fail to develop and/or redevelop
according to the goals of the City’s Comprehensive Plan;
4. The Amendment conforms to the Central Point Comprehensive Plan and
provides an outline for accomplishing the projects described in the
Amendment, as more fully described in Section Appendix, Exhibit 4 of the
Amendment and in the Planning Commission Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law ;
5. No residential displacement will occur as a result of the acquisition and
disposition of land and redevelopment activities proposed in the

City Code and the word Ordinance may be changed to “code”, “article”, “section”,

balance active and passive recreation amenities with wildfire mitigation and habitat
restoration;
• Add land being considered for a Joint Community Center with Jackson County (existing
project, new possible location);
• Add land recently added to the Central Point Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) from the
CP-3 Urban Reserve; and,
• Add the following projects:
o Bear Creek Greenway park and fire mitigation plan; and,
o Beebe Road Bridge Extension.
The existing and proposed Urban Renewal District boundaries are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
The purpose of these findings is to demonstrate that the proposed Urban Renewal Plan
Amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

sense of safety/well-being in the city.
7. Resilience – We value the City’s ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt to
incremental change and sudden (economic or market) disruptions in order to endure and
prosper.
Strategic Priorities
1. Community Investment – This priority has to do with making physical, social and economic
investments that support the community’s vision.
2. Community Engagement – Responsive and proactive governance requires quality
communication between citizens, business and the City. This priority is geared toward building
strong relationships and effective communication.
3. Community Culture – Central Point has a unique identify and culture. This priority aims to
celebrate Central Point customs, arts, social institutions and achievements.
4. Responsible Governance – There are multiple facets to responsible governance from earning
and retaining public trust, maintaining a strong financial position, to thoughtfully hiring and
training employees, promoting volunteerism, and developing the policing program. Lastly, this
area focuses on becoming a resilient city that has the capabilities needed to prevent, protect
against, mitigate, respond to and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest
risk.
5. Vibrant Economy – Having a vibrant economy is the fuel for a healthy community. The City’s
Strategic Plan focuses on managing growth, revitalizing downtown, connecting the east and

The 2040 Strategic Plan is the foundation for the City’s Comprehensive Plan. It is important to
acknowledge the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment aligns with the community’s vision and
strategic priorities.
Finding, 2040 Strategic Plan: The Urban Renewal Plan provides a blueprint for revitalizing
blighted areas in the Urban Renewal District boundary to increase public and private
investments. In the case of the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment, the proposed changes include
adding lands that will allow public investment to transform the Bear Creek Greenway. This
natural open space areas was severely burned during the September 2019 wildfire that
threatened the entire community. The proposed plan amendment to include the Greenway in the
Urban Renewal District Boundary and to include the Bear Creek Greenway Park/Wildfire

Mitigation project will allow public investment in active and passive recreation amenities
designed to mitigate wildfire risk while also restoring valuable wetland and riparian habitat.
These changes directly respond to Responsible Governance, Goal 6 regarding being a resilient
City.
By bringing in employment land recently added to the UGB, the City is in a position to incentivize
private investment in one of the few commercial properties that is visible from Interstate 5. This
directly responds to the City’s priorities concerning Community Investment and taking action to
create a Vibrant Economy. It is important to note that this property is adjacent to the potential
Joint Community Center site and will be served by the new Beebe Road Bridge Extension project
that has been added as part of this amendment. The latter project is essential to providing
increased connectivity between eastside residential properties with commercial properties to the
west of Bear Creek.
The Community Center project is already in the Urban Renewal Plan. The addition of land for the
potential Joint Community Center expands the City’s opportunity to provide significant value at a
minimal cost by collaborating with Jackson County. This project speaks to priorities for
Community Investment and Responsible Governance by providing enhanced services and
facilities in fiscally responsible manner.
Lastly, there has been extensive communication with Central Point citizens and businesses about
the changes articulated in the Plan Amendment. Community engagement included but is not
limited to the Open House, written notices and public meetings specific to the proposed Urban
Renewal Plan Amendment. It has also included the extensive planning efforts that went into
developing the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area Master Plan, exploring the Central Point
Community Center design as a standalone facility and as a Joint facility operated in partnership
with Jackson County, and the Urban Growth Boundary Amendment. Although each of these is a
project unto themselves, together they have informed the proposed Urban Renewal Plan
Amendment. Adoption of this plan will provide the investment incentives necessary to bring
these projects to fruition as envisioned by the community.
Conclusion, 2040 Strategic Plan: The proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment is consistent
with and directly responds to many of the priorities, goals and strategies outlined in the 2040
Strategic plan.
III. Comprehensive Plan
The goal of the Central Point Comprehensive Plan is “To determine future growth of the present City to
the mutual benefit of the public by consideration of proper land use planning incorporating statewide
goals and guidelines in the adoption of policies to ensure a logical, orderly planning process.” This goal is
supported by nine (9) general policies as follows:
1. Provide for an orderly and reasonable expansion of the Central point urbanizing area.
2. Encourage the enhancement of private property values and quality of life through compatible
arrangement of land uses.
3. Provide flexibility of residential neighborhoods and housing opportunities to meet the changing
needs of a growing population.
4. Provide well balance and convenient shopping opportunities for the residents of the
Community.

1. Citizen Involvement Element
2. Urbanization Element
3. Housing Element
4. Environmental Management Element
5. Parks and Recreation Element
6. Public Facilities and Services Element
7. Economic Element
8. Energy Utilization and Conservation Element
9. Transportation System Plan

Each Element is comprised of goals and policies. The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment has been
reviewed against these goals and policies. Those affected by the proposed amendment include goals
and policies related to Citizen Involvement and Parks & Recreation are addressed herein. The other
Comprehensive Plan Elements are not implicated by the proposed amendment and are not addressed
further in these findings.
I. Citizen Involvement
The Citizens Involvement Element is derived from the Statewide Planning Goal No. 1, which is “to
develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all
phases of the planning process.” To attain this goal the City’s Citizen Involvement Element includes six
policies.
1. The Citizen Involvement Program shall involve a “cross-section” of affected citizens in all
planning phases and shall include a recognized citizens advisory committee.
2. In order to assure effective communication with citizens, mechanisms shall be established,
including such methods as newsletters, questionnaires, posters, and other available media, as
appropriate.
3. 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.

4. The City will assure that all information used in the preparation of the Plan or related reports, is
made available in an easy to understand form and is available for review at the community
library, City Hall, or other location.
5. The City will be responsive to citizens or groups taking part in the planning process and all land
use policy decisions will be documented in written form and available for public review.
6. Adequate human, financial and informational resources will be allocated for the citizens
involvement program and such resources will be an integral component of the planning budget.
Finding, Citizen Involvement Policies 1 - 6: The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment was
prepared with an emphasis on citizens involvement. The Amendment addresses citizen
concerns following the 2019 wildfire along the Bear Creek Greenway and the desire for and
need to manage this area as a park facility for community benefits and safety. Additionally,
the proposed Amendment adds land that may be the future site of a Joint Community
Center/Emergency Evacuation Shelter with Jackson County. Citizens have expressed support
for a Community Center in Community Survey.
Availability of the draft Urban Renewal Plan Amendment and opportunity for comment were
posted on the City’s web site. On August 11, 2022 the City conducted an Open House event
to present and receive comments on the proposed changes.
Written notice of the proposed plan amendment was hand delivered to all affected taxing
districts on August 12, 2022. On September 20-21, 2022 the City mailed notice of the
Planning Commission’s consideration of the proposed amendment to utility billing customers
within the existing and proposed Urban Renewal boundary. Citizens will have the
opportunity to provide comments before the Planning Commission makes a formal
recommendation to the City Council relative to the Plan Amendment’s consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Following the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the City Council will consider the
Urban Renewal Plan Amendment at a duly noticed public hearing on October 27, 2022.
Conclusion, Citizen Involvement Policies 1-6: Consistent.
II. Parks Element
The Parks Element is supported by six (6) goals and fifty-one (51) policies in six categories, including:
Community Engagement & Communication; Recreation Programming; Parks & Open Space; Trails and
Pathways; Design, Development & Management; and, Facilities Development Plan. Responses to this
Element focus on the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment involving the Bear Creek Greenway
Fire Area Master Plan and parks and recreation improvements it involves.
Goal 1: Encourage meaningful public involvement in park and recreation planning and inform
residents through department communications.
Policies
1.1 Support the Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission) as the forum for public
discussion of parks and recreation issues and conduct joint sessions as necessary between the
Commission and City Council to improve coordination and discuss policy matters of mutual
interest.
1.2 Involve residents and stakeholders in system-wide planning, park site facility design and
recreation program development and continue to use a diverse set of communication and

periodically to stay current with community recreation interests.
Finding, Parks Element Policies 1.1 – 1.7: There was significant public engagement in the
development of the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area Master Plan. The City formed an ad hoc
committee that was part of the conceptual design process. Additionally, there were several
advertised public meetings conducted by the Parks Commission, the Citizen’s Advisory
Committee, Planning Commission and City Council. Once the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment
is effective, the park facility planning and design will move to a more refined planning level
that will include increased public involvement opportunities.
Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 1.1 – 1.7: The Bear Creek Greenway project involved
residents and stakeholders as part of the conceptual facility planning process.
Goal 2: Establish and maintain a varied and inclusive suite of recreation programs that accommodate
a spectrum of ages, interests and abilities and promote the health and wellness of the community.
Policies

Providence, Asante and the Jackson County Health and Human Department, to promote
wellness activities, healthy lifestyles and communications about local recreation facilities and
the benefits of parks and recreation.
2.9 Periodically undertake a comprehensive evaluation of existing recreation program offerings in
terms of persons served, customer satisfaction, cost/subsidy, cost recovery and availability of
similar programs via other providers.
Finding, Parks Element Policies 2.1 – 2.9: Urban Renewal Plan Amendment involves including
land for and adding a project for planning and constructing the Bear Creek Greenway Fire Area
Master Plan project. The Plan Amendment does not involve recreation programming.
Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 2.1 – 2.9: Not applicable.
Goal 3: Acquire and develop a high-quality, diversified system of parks, recreation amenities and open
spaces that provide equitable access to all residents.
Policies
3.1 Provide a level of service standard of 3.5 acres per 1,000 residents of developed core parks
(community, neighborhood and pocket).
3.2 Strive to provide equitable access to parks such that all city residents live within one-half mile
of a developed neighborhood park.
3.3 Prioritize park acquisition and development in underserved areas where households are more
than ½-mile from a developed park.
3.4 Explore partnership with local utilities, public agencies and private landowners for easements
for parkland, trail corridors and recreation facilities.
3.5 Pursue low-cost and/or non-purchase options to preserve open space, including the use of
conservation easements and development agreements.
3.6 Continue to provide community gardens at suitable sites to provide opportunities for
gardening, healthy eating and social connections.
3.7 Provide and maintain facilities for alternative or emerging sports, such as pickle-ball, disc golf,
climbing and parkour, to offer residents a more diverse range of recreational experiences.
3.8 Coordinate with public agencies and private landowners for the protection of valuable natural
areas and sensitive lands through the purchase of development rights, easements or title and
make these lands available for passive recreation as appropriate.
3.9 Maintain and apply annually for Tree City USA status.
3.10 Manage vegetation in natural areas to support or maintain native plant species, habitat
function and other ecological values; remove and control non-native or invasive plants as
appropriate.
Finding, Parks Element Policies 3.1 – 3.10: The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment reflects the
City of Central Point’s partnership with the City of Medford and Jackson County to transfer
ownership of the Greenway properties to the City of Central Point. The purpose of the transfer
is to provide greater control in managing the land to minimize wildfire hazard but also to add a
parks and recreation facility that will be over 55 acres in size unique in its amenities (Figure 3).

Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 3.1 – 3.10: Consistent.
Goal 4: Develop a high-quality system of multi-use trails and bicycle and pedestrian corridors that
connects to regional trails and provides access to public facilities, neighborhoods and businesses to
promote exercise, walking and biking.
Policies
4.1 Coordinate recreational path and trail system planning and development with the City’s and
Jackson County’s Transportation System Plan to provide a comprehensive pedestrian and
bicycle network. Coordinate with Medford’s pathway plans for improved connectivity. Create

segments into the development review process; require development projects along
designated routes to be designed to incorporate path and trail segments as part of the
project.
4.4 Expand the system of off-street trails by utilizing greenways, parks, utility corridors and critical
areas as appropriate; purchase rights-of-way or easements as necessary.
4.5 Partner with local utilities, public agencies and private landowners to secure easements and
access to open space for path and trail connections.
4.6 Implement trail, route and wayfinding signage for trails and associated facilities, informational

4.7 Provide trailhead accommodations, as appropriate, to include parking, signage, restrooms and
other amenities.
4.8 Promote the planning, design and implementation of safe pedestrian and bicycle routes
during development review to encourage connectivity to parks, trails, schools and local goods
and services. Safe connections should be required for new construction and retrofitted into
older neighborhoods to promote community health and safe routes to destinations.
Finding, Parks Element Policies 4.1 – 4.8: Inclusion of the Bear Creek Greenway property and
park/wildfire mitigation project in the Urban Renewal Plan will provide a funding mechanism
to plan and develop an enhanced trail system as conceptually illustrated in Figure 3. As
shown, implementation of the Bear Creek Greenway project will balance passive and active
areas, including walking paths, benches, tables, pavilions/gazebos, playgrounds, restrooms,
bicycle improvements, and various recreational areas/opportunities.
Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 4.1 – 4.8: Consistent.
Goal 5: Plan for a parks system that is efficient to maintain and operate, while protecting capital
investment.
Policies
5.1 Develop and maintain all parks and facilities in a manner that keeps them in safe and
attractive condition. Repair or remove damaged components immediately upon
identification. Maintain and update an inventory of assets including condition and expected
useful life.
5.2 Establish and utilize design standards to provide continuity in furnishings (e.g., signage, trash
cans, tables, benches, fencing) and construction materials to reduce inventory and
maintenance costs and improve park appearance.
5.3 Update the comprehensive Parks and Recreation Parks Element periodically to ensure
facilities and services meet current and future community needs.
5.4 Formulate illustrative master plans for the development or redevelopment of each City park,
as appropriate, to take advantage of grant or other funding opportunities.
5.5 Design parks and facilities to offer universal accessibility for residents of all physical
capabilities, skill levels and age, as appropriate.
5.6 Incorporate sustainable development and low impact design practices into the design,
planning and rehabilitation of new and existing facilities.
5.7 Estimate the maintenance costs and staffing levels associated with the acquisition,
development or renovation of parks or open spaces, and pursue adequate long-term
maintenance, life-cycle replacement and operation funding.
5.8 Develop and maintain minimum design and development standards for park and recreation
amenities within private developments to address community facility needs, equipment
types, accessibility, and installation procedures.
5.9 Update the comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan periodically to ensure facilities
and services meet current and future community needs.
5.10 Promote professional development opportunities that strengthen the skills and engender
greater commitment from staff, Commission members and key volunteers, to include
trainings, materials and/or affiliation with the National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA)
and the Oregon Recreation & Parks Association (ORPA).

Finding, Parks Element Policies 5.1 – 5.10: The Urban Renewal Plan Amendment’s inclusion
of the Bear Creek Greenway land and park/wildfire mitigation project aligns with the policies
directed at master planning an accessible, sustainable, attractive and recreationally diverse
park facility. Specifically the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment provides funding necessary to
refine the conceptual plan, support grant opportunities and ultimately to implement the final
master plan.
Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 5.1 – 5.10: Consistent.
Goal 6: Develop and implement a comprehensive facilities plan in cooperation and coordination with
surrounding cities/county and school district.
Policies
6.1 Pursue and maintain effective partnerships with public, private and non-profit organizations
to maintain parks and recreation facilities.
6.2 Formalize partnerships through inter-governmental agreements to meet mutual goals and
objectives of all parties.
6.3 Coordinate program efforts with the School District for joint facility development and
maintenance for parks, special event venues, athletic fields and other major facilities to
increase availability of recreational opportunity to nearby residents..
6.4 Collaborate with key stakeholders, land owners and other jurisdictions to identify
appropriate and community-supported trail routes that improve park access and link parks,
green space, recreation facilities and other community destinations.
6.5 Work in partnership with user groups and project proponents to identify and test new
recreational facilities.
6.6 Encourage and pursue mutual cooperation and a “good neighbor” policy with residents and
businesses located adjacent to park facilities, trails and natural open space areas.
6.7 Maintain a strong and active volunteer program with opportunities for citizens to become
actively involved in programs to develop a sense of community pride.
Finding, Parks Element Policies 6.1 – 6.7: The proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment
does not affect or otherwise preclude the City’s ability to develop and implement a
comprehensive facilities plan in coordination with other agencies.
Conclusion, Parks Element Policies 6.1 – 6.7: Not applicable.
III. Transportation Element.
The City of Central Point Transportation Systems Plan (TSP) was approved by the Central Point City
Council on December 18, 2008 and is implemented by Ordinance #1922. The TSP is undergoing an
amendment in 2022 which would add the Beebe Road Bridge project to cross Bear Creek and connect
with Peninger Road. This amendment is expected to be finalized by December 31, 2022. By adding this
to the TSP, the city is able to also able to allocate System Development Charges to the construction of
the bridge that can be leveraged with urban renewal funding to undertake this project.
Finding, Transportation Element: The proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment adds a transportation
project identified
Conclusion, Transportation Element: Consistent.

authority to adjust the implementation assumptions in this Report. The CPDC may allocate
budgets differently, adjust the timing of the projects, decide to incur debt at different times than
assumed in this Report, and make other adjustments to the financials as determined by the
CPDC. The CPDC may also make changes as allowed in the Amendments section of the Plan.

II. THE PROJECTS IN THE AREA AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN URBAN
RENEWAL PROJECTS AND THE EXISTING CONDITIONS IN THE URBAN
RENEWAL AREA
This section details the new projects added to the Plan by the Amendment. Information on projects
already within the Plan is not required in this section. The new projects identified for the
Amendment are described below, including how they relate to the existing conditions in the Area.
A. Bear Creek Greenway Project.
Improve the publicly owned lands adjacent to the Bear Creek Greenway from E. Pine Street to
the Table Rock Overpass. The newly created park system will balance passive and active
areas, including walking paths, benches, tables, pavilions/gazebos, playgrounds, restrooms,
bicycle improvements, and various recreational areas/opportunities. The Bear Creek Greenway
Project was added as a result of the blight created by the 2020 wildfires, with the intention of
preventing a similar catastrophe in the future.
Existing Conditions:
The 2020 Alameda Fire burned through the Bear Creek Greenway. The area has not been fully
restored and needs additional improvements to help prevent future fire damage. catastrophes.
Additionally, the Bear Creek Master Plan identifies a need for additional park facilities in Central
Point.
B. Beebe Road Bridge Extension.
Extend Beebe Road from its current intersection with Gebhard Road to the west, through
Jackson County Expo, to connect with Penninger Road. This project includes intersection
improvements at Penninger & Beebe Roads and Beebe & Gebhard Roads.
Existing Conditions:
Beebe Road currently ends at its intersection with Gebhard Road. There is no connection from
Beebe Road to Penninger Road. The intersection at Beebe and Gebhard Road is a two way
connection. The road does not extend over Bear Creek.

III. THE ESTIMATED TOTAL COST OF EACH PROJECT AND THE SOURCES OF
MONEYS TO PAY SUCH COSTS
Table 2 shows the costs of the projects in FYE 2022 constant dollars and the estimated year of
expenditure dollars. These costs are also shown in “year of expenditure” costs, which assumes
inflation of 3.0% annually. City Staff provides cost estimates and are reviewed by City Council.
These estimates are ballpark estimates and will be refined in the annual budgeting process with
the acknowledgement of the limiting total cost factor of the maximum indebtedness. Different
allocations may be made to different line items within the Plan.
The Plan assumes that the CPDC/City will use other funds to assist in the completion of the
projects within the Area. The CPDC/City may pursue regional, county, state, and federal
funding, private developer contributions, and any other sources of funding that may assist in the
implementation of the programs.

IV. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE PLAN
The estimated tax increment revenues through Fiscal Year Ending (FYE) 2040 are calculated
based on projections of the assessed value within the Area and the consolidated tax rate that
will apply in the Area.
The long-term projections for FYE 2022 and beyond assume an annual growth rate for
assessed value in the Area of 3.5% for through FYE 2029 and 4.0% for the remainder of the life
of the Plan. These projections of growth are the basis for the projections in Table 5, through
Table 7. Assessed value in FYE 2024 is anticipated to grow by an additional 0.1%, due to the
addition of properties to the Area boundary.
If actual assessed value growth is less than forecast, then it would reduce the financial capacity
of the Area
to fund projects listed in the Plan over the anticipated duration of the Plan.
Table 2 shows the incremental assessed value, tax rates, and tax increment revenues each
year, adjusted for discounts, delinquencies, and truncation loss.
The first year of tax increment collections is anticipated to be FYE 2022. Gross tax increment
financing revenue (TIF) is calculated by multiplying the tax rate times the assessed value used.
The tax rate is per thousand dollars of assessed value, so the calculation is “tax rate times
assessed value used divided by one thousand.” The consolidated tax rate includes only
permanent tax rates. General obligation bonds and local option levies are excluded, and will not
be impacted by this Plan.
Figure 3 shows expected TIF revenues over time and the projected tax revenues after
termination of the Area.

V. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF TAX INCREMENT REVENUES REQUIRED AND
THE ANTICIPATED YEAR IN WHICH INDEBTEDNESS WILL BE RETIRED
Table 4 shows a summary of the financial capacity of the Area, including how total TIF revenue
translates to the ability to fund projects in constant 2022 dollars, in five-year increments. Table 5
through Table 7 show more detailed tables on the allocation of tax revenues to debt service.
Table 8 through Table 10 show potential allocations to projects, programs, and administration
over time.
The Area is anticipated to complete all projects and have sufficient tax increment finance
revenue to terminate the urban renewal area in FYE 2040. If growth in assessed value is slower
than projected, the Agency may not be able to complete all projects in the Plan. If growth in
assessed value is more robust than the projections, it may take a shorter time period. These
assumptions show one scenario for financing and that this scenario is financially feasible.
The maximum indebtedness is $43,177,530 (Forty-Three Million One Hundred Seventy-Seven
Thousand Five Hundred Thirty). The remaining maximum indebtedness as of June 30, 2021 is
$38,891,711. The estimated total amount of TIF revenues required to pay debt service on the
remining maximum indebtedness including principal and interest is $46,822,892 and is from
permanent rate tax levies. The additional TIF revenue required for debt service is greater than
the maximum indebtedness remaining due to the projected cost of the interest on borrowings
(loans).
Table 4 - TIF Capacity of the Area in FYE 2022 Constant Rounded Numbers
Net TIF $ 46,800,000
Maximum Indebtedness $ 43,177,530
Remaining MI as of June 30, 2021 $ 38,891,711
Capacity (2022$) of remaining MI $ 29,900,000
Years 1-5 $ 9,200,000
Years 6-10 $ 6,300,000
Years 11-15 $ 9,700,000
Years 16-19 $ 4,800,000

This financial analysis shows projected borrowings as identified in Table 5. This is only one
scenario for how the Agency may decide to implement this Plan, and this scenario is financially
feasible. The Agency may decide to do borrowings at different times or for different amounts,
depending on their analysis at the time. The timeframes on these borrowings are designed to
have all borrowings repaid at the termination of the District in FYE 2040. The amounts shown
are the principal amounts of the borrowings. The total amounts, including interest, are shown in
the second column of Table 6.

VI. THE ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE FOR EACH PROJECT
The schedule for construction of projects will be based on the availability of funding. The projects
will be ongoing and will be completed as directed by the CPDC. Annual expenditures for program
administration are also included.
The amount of money available for projects in 2022 constant dollars for the Area is $29,878,413.
See Table 2 for the individual project analysis. This $29,878,413 is calculated by reflecting the
maximum indebtedness of $43,177,530 in constant 2022 dollars. The CPDC’s cost estimates are
typically shown in constant dollars, so understanding how these cost estimates relate to the overall
maximum indebtedness over the ensuing years is important to help the CPDC to make projections
on the allocation of funds throughout the life of the Area.
Table 9 through Table 11 show the $29,878,413 of 2022 project dollars inflated over the life of the
Area, including administrative expenses. All costs shown in Table 9 through Table 11 are in year-of-
expenditure dollars, which are adjusted by 3.0% annually to account for inflation. The year of
expenditure total cost is $38,981,452.
The 3.0% inflation rate is the rate to use in the future if any amendment to increase maximum
indebtedness is pursued in accordance with ORS 457.470.The CPDC may change the completion
dates in their annual budgeting process or as project decisions are made in administering the Plan.
The following tables are prepared to show that the Area is financially feasible as required by ORS
457. It assumes completion of projects as funding becomes available.

VII. REVENUE SHARING
Revenue sharing targets are projected to be reached in FYE 2040, as the threshold set in ORS
457 (annual tax increment revenues in excess of 10 percent of the maximum indebtedness) is
met the previous year, FYE 2039. In addition, the MI is expected to be reached in FYE 2040,
meaning the CPDC is not projected to take the full division of taxes that year, but to underlevy
for both the mandatory revenue sharing and the amount that exceeds the MI.
Revenue sharing means that, at thresholds defined in ORS 457.470, the impacted taxing
jurisdictions will receive a share of the incremental growth in the Area. The first threshold is
when annual tax increment finance revenues exceed 10% of the original maximum
indebtedness of the Plan ($43,177,530 x.10% is $4,317,753). At the 10% threshold, the Agency
will receive the full 10% of the initial maximum indebtedness plus 25% of the increment above
the 10% threshold, and the taxing jurisdictions will receive 75% of the increment above the 10%
threshold.
The second threshold is set at 12.5% of the maximum indebtedness is $5,397,191 ($43,177,530
x.12.5%). If this threshold is met, revenue for the Area would be capped at 12.5% of the
maximum indebtedness, with all additional tax revenue being shared with affected taxing
districts.
If assessed value in the Area grows more quickly than projected, the revenue sharing
thresholds could be reached earlier.
VIII. IMPACT OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
This section describes the impact of tax increment financing of the maximum indebtedness,
both until and after the indebtedness is repaid, upon all entities levying taxes upon property in
the Area.
The impact of tax increment financing on overlapping taxing districts consists primarily of the
property tax revenues foregone on permanent rate levies as applied to the growth in assessed
value in the Area. These projections are for impacts estimated through FYE 2040 and are
shown in Table 12 for the general government taxing districts and Table 13 for the education
taxing districts.
The Central Point School District 6 and the Southern Oregon Education Service District are not
directly affected by the tax increment financing, but the amounts of their taxes divided for the
Plan are shown in the following tables. Under current school funding law, property tax revenues
are combined with State School Fund revenues to achieve per-student funding targets. Under
this system, property taxes foregone, due to the use of tax increment financing, are substantially
replaced with State School Fund revenues, as determined by a funding formula at the state
level.

Table 14 shows the projected increased revenue to the taxing jurisdictions after tax
increment proceeds are projected to be terminated. These projections are for FYE 2041.
The Frozen Base is the assessed value of the Area established by the county assessor at
the time the Area is established. Excess Value is the increased assessed value in the Area
above the Frozen Base.

IX. COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTORY LIMITS ON ASSESSED VALUE AND SIZE
OF URBAN RENEWAL AREA
State law limits the percentage of both a municipality’s total assessed value and the total
land area that can be contained in an urban renewal area at the time of its establishment to
25% for municipalities under 50,000 in population. As noted below, the frozen base
(assumed to be FYE 2022 values), including all real, personal, personal, manufactured, and
utility properties in the Area, for the Area after the Amendment is projected to be
$139,909,490. The Jackson County Assessor will certify the new frozen base of the new
properties once the urban renewal plan amendment is adopted. This will be added to the
existing frozen base.
The total assessed value of the City of Central Point in FYE 2022 is $1,450,597,2071.
The percentage of total City assessed value in the urban renewal area is 10.03%, below the
25% threshold. ORS 457.160 (2)(b) states “For municipalities having a population of less
than 50,000, according to the latest state census:
A. The assessed value for the urban renewal areas of the plan, when added to
the total assessed value previously certified by the assessor for other urban renewal
plans of the municipality for which a division of ad valorem taxes is provided,
exceeds a figure equal to 25 percent of the total assessed value of that municipality,
exclusive of any increased assessed value for other urban renewal areas and
without regard to adjustments made pursuant to ORS 457.435.”
The Area contains 514 acres, including public rights-of-way. The City of Central Point
contains 2,904.1 acres. This puts 17.7% of the City’s acreage in an urban renewal area,
which is below the 25% threshold.

B. Infrastructure
This section identifies the existing conditions in the Area to assist in establishing blight in the ordinance adopting the urban renewal plan. There are projects identified by the City of
Central Point in itemizing blighting conditions in the Area. This does not mean that all of
these projects are included in the urban renewal plan. The specific projects that are
included in the Plan are listed in Sections II and III of this Report and in the original Plan.
1. Transportation Systems Plan - Interstate Access Management Plan
33
In 2015 the City amended the Transportation Systems Plan (TSP) twice to (1) incorporate
the Interstate Access Management Plan (IAMP) 33 into the TSP and (2) add the Gebhard
Road extension project to the TSP. All of the projects in IAMP 33 are within the Area and
projects that have been completed or are funded for completion in the near future have been
excluded. The Gebhard Road extension is partly within the current Urban Renewal Area (i.e.
Walmart property on East Pine Street).2
1-5 Southbound Ramp Terminal/East Pine Street TSM - Signal Timing Modifications: Maintain
traffic signal timing to safely manage queues on the SB off-ramp
Northbound Ramp Terminal/East Pine Street TSM - Signal Timing Modifications: Maintain
traffic signal timing to safely manage queues on the NB off-ramp
10th Street/Freeman Road/East Pine Street TSM - Signal Timing Modifications and Queue
Storage: Maintain signal progression, change signal phasing, extend westbound left-turn lane
striping on East Pine Street to provide more queue storage, consider access restrictions to
improve safety
Peninger Road/East Pine Street TSM - Signal Timing Modifications: Maintain signal
progression to ovoid queuing conflict that affects /-5 NB Ramp Terminal, and change signal
phasing
East Pine Street TSM Signal Timing Modifications: Maintain signal progression, particularly
in the eastbound direction, to avoid queuing that affects 1-5 NB ramp terminal
South Sidewalk between Ramp Terminals: Add a sidewalk on the south side of East Pine
Street between the northbound and southbound ramp terminals
Bike Lane Improvements: Restripe eastbound trove/ lanes between 9th Street and the 1-5
southbound ramp to improve bike lane transitions
1-S Southbound On-Ramp- Dual Westbound Left-Turn Lanes: Add a second westbound left-
turn lane on East Pine Street onto the /-5 southbound on-ramp and a second southbound
receiving lone on the 1-5 southbound on-ramp

through travel Jane, maintain bike lanes, and odd sidewalks where necessary
Figure 7 – IAMP Projects in Area
Source: TSP IAMP 33 Projects
2. Transportation Systems Plan
The City is in the process of updating the TSP to add needed projects within the recently
expanded Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), including the properties being added to the Area.
Most notable here will be extension of Beebe Road west across Bear Creek and connecting
with Peninger Road. It is a significant project and one that is a priority for funding in part by
Urban Renewal. The following projects are listed in the TSP and are in the Area.3
204 S. Haskell Street, Pine Street to Ash Street – widen to three lanes with curb, gutter,
bike lanes and sidewalks
208 Oak Street: Second-Third & First Street: Manzanita – Laurel Improve alleyways and
parking facility
211 Beebe Road & Hamrick Road Intersection – Add traffic signal for pedestrian crossing
safety
212 Highway 99, Project No. 4 Cupp Street Greenway
216 E. Pine Street & Hamrick Road Intersection – Widen west and south approaches to
add a second eastbound left turn lane and second receiving lane. Restripe
northbound approach to include dual left turns and a single through-shared right turn.
Restripe southbound approach to include a left turn, through and exclusive right turn
lanes.

D. Economic Conditions
1. Taxable Value of Property within the Area
The frozen base of the Area in FYE 2022 is $139,787,1706. Once the Amendment is
adopted, the frozen base is estimated to be $139,909,490.The increment in FYE 2022 is
$55,371,612.7
2. Building to Land Value Ratio
An analysis of property values can be used to evaluate the economic condition of real estate
investments in a given area. The relationship of a property’s improvement value (the value
of buildings and other improvements to the property) to its land value is generally an
accurate indicator of the condition of real estate investments. This relationship is referred to
as the “Improvement to Land Value Ratio," or “I:L.” The values used are real market values.
In urban renewal areas, the I:L is often used to measure the intensity of development or the
extent to which an area has achieved its short- and long-term development objectives.
Table 25 shows the improvement to land ratios (I:L) for properties within the Area. In the
Area, 254 parcels representing 36.90% of the acreage have I:L ratios less than 1.0. In other
words, the improvements on these properties are worth less than the land they sit on. A
reasonable I:L ratio for properties in the Area is 2.0. Only 242 of the 948 parcels in the Area,
totaling 16.47% of the acreage have I:L ratios of 2.0 or more in FYE 2022. In summary, the
area is underdeveloped and not contributing significantly to the tax base in Central Point.

E. Impact on Municipal Services
The fiscal impact of tax increment financing on taxing districts that levy taxes within the Area
(affected taxing districts) is described in Section VIII of this Report. This subsection
discusses the fiscal impacts resulting from potential increases in demand for municipal
services.
The projects being considered in the Amendment for future use of urban renewal funding
are for facilitating transportation improvements to allow for better connections and for
recreation improvements. The use of tax increment allows the City to add an additional
funding source to the City of Central Point’s other funding sources to allow these projects to
be completed.
The financial impacts from tax increment collections will be countered by future economic
development, and, in the future, adding increases in assessed value to the tax base for all
taxing jurisdictions, including the City.
XI. REASONS FOR SELECTION OF EACH URBAN RENEWAL AREA IN THE
PLAN
The reason for selecting the Area is to provide the ability to fund projects and programs
necessary to cure blight within the Area. The outcome of implementing these projects is
anticipated to be an increase to the economic growth in Central Point by providing
infrastructure improvements inside the Area to assist with economic development.
XII. RELOCATION REPORT
When the CPDC acquires occupied property under the Plan, residential or commercial
occupants of such property shall be offered relocation assistance, as required under
applicable state law. Prior to such acquisition, the CPDC shall adopt rules and regulations,
as necessary, for the administration of relocation assistance. The CPDC will comply with all
applicable state law in providing these potential benefits.

Before the City of Central Point Planning Commission
Consideration of Downtown & East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan Amendment
Compliance with the City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan
File No. UR-22001
Applicant: City of Central Point ) Findings of Fact
140 South 3rd Street ) and
Central Point, OR 97502 ) Conclusions of Law
I.Introduction
On March 8, 2012, the City of Central Point City Council approved the Downtown and East Pine
Street Corridor Revitalization Plan (Urban Renewal Plan). Prior to the City Council’s approval,
the Planning Commission determined the Urban Renewal Plan was consistent with the City of
Central Point Comprehensive Plan. At this time, the City is amending the Urban Renewal Plan
to accomplish the following objectives:
Remove tax exempt properties purchased by School District #6 since 2012;
Add land along the Bear Creek Greenway to fund and construct park improvements that
balance active and passive recreation amenities with wildfire mitigation and habitat
restoration;
Add land being considered for a Joint Community Center with Jackson County (existing
project, new possible location);
Add land recently added to the Central Point Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) from the
CP-3 Urban Reserve; and,
Add the following projects:
o Bear Creek Greenway park and fire mitigation plan; and,
o Beebe Road Bridge Extension.
The existing and proposed Urban Renewal District boundaries are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
The purpose of these findings is to demonstrate that the proposed Urban Renewal Plan
Amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

economic investments that support the community’s vision.
2. Community Engagement – Responsive and proactive governance requires quality
communication between citizens, business and the City. This priority is geared toward
building strong relationships and effective communication.
3. Community Culture – Central Point has a unique identify and culture. This priority aims
to celebrate Central Point customs, arts, social institutions and achievements.
4. Responsible Governance – There are multiple facets to responsible governance from
earning and retaining public trust, maintaining a strong financial position, to thoughtfully
hiring and training employees, promoting volunteerism, and developing the policing
program. Lastly, this area focuses on becoming a resilient city that has the capabilities
needed to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from the threats
and hazards that pose the greatest risk.
5. Vibrant Economy – Having a vibrant economy is the fuel for a healthy community. The
City’s Strategic Plan focuses on managing growth, revitalizing downtown, connecting the
east and west sides of the community and business attraction, support and investment.
The 2040 Strategic Plan is the foundation for the City’s Comprehensive Plan. It is important to
acknowledge the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment aligns with the community’s vision
and strategic priorities.
Finding, 2040 Strategic Plan: The Urban Renewal Plan provides a blueprint for
revitalizing blighted areas in the Urban Renewal District boundary to increase public and
private investments. In the case of the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment, the proposed
changes include adding lands that will allow public investment to transform the Bear
Creek Greenway. This natural open space areas was severely burned during the
September 2019 wildfire that threatened the entire community. The proposed plan
amendment to include the Greenway in the Urban Renewal District Boundary and to
include the Bear Creek Greenway Park/Wildfire Mitigation project will allow public
investment in active and passive recreation amenities designed to mitigate wildfire risk

while also restoring valuable wetland and riparian habitat. These changes directly
respond to Responsible Governance, Goal 6 regarding being a resilient City.
By bringing in employment land recently added to the UGB, the City is in a position to
incentivize private investment in one of the few commercial properties that is visible from
Interstate 5. This directly responds to the City’s priorities concerning Community
Investment and taking action to create a Vibrant Economy. It is important to note that
this property is adjacent to the potential Joint Community Center site and will be served
by the new Beebe Road Bridge Extension project that has been added as part of this
amendment. The latter project is essential to providing increased connectivity between
eastside residential properties with commercial properties to the west of Bear Creek.
The Community Center project is already in the Urban Renewal Plan. The addition of
land for the potential Joint Community Center expands the City’s opportunity to provide
significant value at a minimal cost by collaborating with Jackson County. This project
speaks to priorities for Community Investment and Responsible Governance by
providing enhanced services and facilities in fiscally responsible manner.
Lastly, there has been extensive communication with Central Point citizens and
businesses about the changes articulated in the Plan Amendment. Community
engagement included but is not limited to the Open House, written notices and public
meetings specific to the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment. It has also included
the extensive planning efforts that went into developing the Bear Creek Greenway Fire
Area Master Plan, exploring the Central Point Community Center design as a standalone
facility and as a Joint facility operated in partnership with Jackson County, and the Urban
Growth Boundary Amendment. Although each of these is a project unto themselves,
together they have informed the proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment. Adoption
of this plan will provide the investment incentives necessary to bring these projects to
fruition as envisioned by the community.
Conclusion, 2040 Strategic Plan: The proposed Urban Renewal Plan Amendment is
consistent with and directly responds to many of the priorities, goals and strategies
outlined in the 2040 Strategic plan.
III. Comprehensive Plan
The goal of the Central Point Comprehensive Plan is “To determine future growth of the present
City to the mutual benefit of the public by consideration of proper land use planning
incorporating statewide goals and guidelines in the adoption of policies to ensure a logical,

1. Provide for an orderly and reasonable expansion of the Central point urbanizing area.
2. Encourage the enhancement of private property values and quality of life through
compatible arrangement of land uses.
3. Provide flexibility of residential neighborhoods and housing opportunities to meet the
changing needs of a growing population.
4. Provide well balance and convenient shopping opportunities for the residents of the
Community.
5. Provide ease of access and circulation throughout the Community through an improved
circulation/transportation system, and properly planned extensions to that system

been reviewed against these goals and policies. Those affected by the proposed amendment
include goals and policies related to Citizen Involvement and Parks & Recreation are addressed
herein. The other Comprehensive Plan Elements are not implicated by the proposed
amendment and are not addressed further in these findings.
IV. Citizen Involvement
The Citizens Involvement Element is derived from the Statewide Planning Goal No. 1, which is
“to develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved
in all phases of the planning process.” To attain this goal the City’s Citizen Involvement Element
includes six policies.
1. The Citizen Involvement Program shall involve a “cross-section” of affected citizens in
all planning phases and shall include a recognized citizens advisory committee.
2. In order to assure effective communication with citizens, mechanisms shall be
established, including such methods as newsletters, questionnaires, posters, and other
available media, as appropriate.
3. 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.

addresses citizen concerns following the 2019 wildfire along the Bear Creek
Greenway and the desire for and need to manage this area as a park facility for
community benefits and safety. Additionally, the proposed Amendment adds land
that may be the future site of a Joint Community Center/Emergency Evacuation
Shelter with Jackson County. Citizens have expressed support for a Community
Center in Community Survey.
Availability of the draft Urban Renewal Plan Amendment and opportunity for
comment were posted on the City’s web site. On August 11, 2022 the City conducted
an Open House event to present and receive comments on the proposed changes.
Written notice of the proposed plan amendment was hand delivered to all affected
taxing districts on August 12, 2022. On September 20-21, 2022 the City mailed
notice of the Planning Commission’s consideration of the proposed amendment to
utility billing customers within the existing and proposed Urban Renewal boundary.
Citizens will have the opportunity to provide comments before the Planning
Commission makes a formal recommendation to the City Council relative to the Plan
Amendment’s consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
Following the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the City Council will consider
the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment at a duly noticed public hearing on October 27,
2022.
Conclusion, Citizen Involvement Policies 1-6: Consistent.

Finding, Parks Element Policies 5.1 – 5.10: The Urban Renewal Plan
Amendment’s inclusion of the Bear Creek Greenway land and park/wildfire mitigation
project aligns with the policies directed at master planning an accessible,
sustainable, attractive and recreationally diverse park facility. Specifically the Urban
Renewal Plan Amendment provides funding necessary to refine the conceptual plan,
support grant opportunities and ultimately to implement the final master plan.

City of Central Point
Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
City Attorney
FROM: Sydnee Dreyer, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: October 27, 2022
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. _______, an Ordinance Amending in Part Central Point
Municipal Code Chapter 8.02 Regarding Chronic Nuisance Property and
Chapter 8.45 Regarding Public Nuisance Remedy
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
Ordinance 2nd Reading
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
UPDATE FOR SECOND READING:
The City Attorney made the recommended corrections to the Ordinance as stated at the first
reading.
In August, staff presented a discussion to Council regarding recommended revisions to the
city’s chronic nuisance ordinance. Council directed staff to proceed with significant revisions to
the Chronic Nuisance Ordinance in order to provide greater flexibility to address properties that
have multiple nuisance violations but fall outside the limited timeframe of the city’s existing code
and to update, reorganize and streamline the process for addressing such chronic nuisance
properties.
In general, under the existing code a chronic nuisance could only be declared if the property
was subject to two or more nuisance activities in a 30-day period. However, this prevented the
city from proceeding against a chronic nuisance property which might, for example, have 5
nuisance activities within a year, but does not meet the strict 30-day period. Under the revised
code language staff can consider properties with multiple nuisance activities over time frames
defined at 30-days, 120-days, and 365-days.
Additionally, staff recommended expanding the definition of a nuisance activity and to provide a
clear process for how to address chronic nuisance properties which includes developing a
chronic nuisance abatement plan.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
Not Applicable.

ORDINANCE NO. _______
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING IN PART CENTRAL POINT MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER
8.02 REGARDING CHRONIC NUISANCE PROPERTY AND CHAPTER 8.45 REGARDING
PUBLIC NUISANCE REMEDY
Recitals:
A. Pursuant to CPMC, Chapter 1.01.040, the city Council, may from time to time make
revisions to its municipal code which shall become part of the overall document
and citation.
B. The city has authority to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community
and to abate violations of the Code which are declared to be a public nuisance
either through fines, requiring the owner to abate the nuisance or abating the
nuisance when the owner fails to do so. In addition, pursuant to the City’s Chronic
Nuisance Ordinance, the city can address repeated nuisances, when abatement of
a single nuisance is insufficient to protect the health, safety and welfare of the
community.
C. Upon review, staff determined that significant amendments to the Chronic
Nuisance Ordinance are recommended, in order to allow the city to address
chronic nuisances in a more efficient manner, including the ability to address
conditions or activities that create public nuisances over time, to clarify the
process by which such nuisances may be brought by the city and/or challenged
by the property owner, to better organize the code sections for easier review, and
to clarify miscellaneous items in the code.
D. Words lined through are to be deleted and words in bold are added.
THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF CENTRAL POINT DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Chapter 8.02 of the Central Point Municipal Code is hereby amended to add
section 8.02.000:
8.02.000 Intent and Purpose of Chronic Nuisance Ordinance.
(1) By virtue of its authority to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community,
the city has the power to abate a violation of the Code declared to be a public
nuisance by imposing a fine on the owner of the property, requiring the owner to abate
the nuisance, or abating the nuisance if the owner fails to do so. However, the
abatement of a single nuisance is ineffective in protecting the health, safety, and welfare
of the community at large when conditions or activities related to the use of property
give rise to a series of public nuisances over time.

addressed to the person in charge at the address of the property, or such other
place which is reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to notify the
person in charge of the city’s determination. A copy of the notice shall be served on
the owner of the property at such address shown on the tax rolls of the county, if
that person is different than the person in charge, and shall be made either
personally or by certified mail-restricted delivery.
5. At or near the same time of the delivery of the notice set forth in subsection (4),
the city shall post a copy of the notice at the property.
C. If after the notification, but prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by the city
pursuant to these provisions, a person in charge stipulates with the chief that the person in
charge will pursue a course of action the parties agree will abate the nuisance activities giving
rise to the violation, the chief may agree to postpone legal proceedings for a period of not less
than ten nor more than thirty days.
D. B. Concurrent with any notification procedures set forth above, the chief shall send copies of
the notice, as well as any other documentation which supports legal proceedings against the
property, to the city attorney.
E. C. When a person in charge makes a response to the chief, any conduct or statements made
in connection with the furnishing of that response shall not constitute an admission that any
nuisance activities have or are occurring. This section does not require the exclusion of any
evidence which is otherwise admissible or offered for any other purpose.
SECTION 5. Chapter 8.02 of the Central Point Municipal Code is hereby amended in part to
add section 8.02.035.

8 – Ordinance No. __________; (Council Meeting _____________, 2022)
A. A person in charge shall respond to the Chief or designee within ten (10) days of the
date the notice described in chapter 8.02.030 was served by submitting a CNAP
describing the actions that the person in charge will take to abate, correct, or eliminate
the occurrence of chronic nuisance activities.
B. The Chief or designee shall review the CNAP submitted by the person in charge and
shall approve or deny it in writing within ten (10) days of it being submitted.
C. The Chief or designee shall approve the plan if it is determined that the actions
proposed are likely to substantially decrease the incidence of chronic nuisance activities
on or around the property.
D. In the event the CNAP is denied, the reasons for the denial shall be included and the
person in charge shall have ten (10) days to resubmit a plan for approval.
E. After the Chief or designee approves a CNAP, the person in charge shall implement it
in accordance with the timeline and terms set forth within the CNAP.
SECTION 6. Chapter 8.02.040 of the Central Point Municipal Code is hereby amended in part:
8.02.040 Commencement of action—Remedies & Defenses.
A. The city council may, by resolution after affording the person in charge of the property an
opportunity to be heard before the council, authorize the city attorney to commence legal
proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin or abate chronic nuisance property
and to seek closure, the imposition of civil penalties against any or all of the persons in charge
thereof, and any such other relief deemed appropriate. Proof shall be by a preponderance of
the evidence.
A. If the person in charge fails to submit and implement a CNAP as required, or the
approved CNAP does not result in the abatement of the chronic nuisance activity, the
city manager may refer the matter to the city attorney to commence legal proceedings
to seek closure of the property, the imposition of civil penalties, and any such other
relief deemed appropriate. The action shall be brought in any court of competent
jurisdiction, including the City of Central Point Municipal Court. The court may award
attorney fees to the prevailing party.
B. The action shall be commenced by the filing of a complaint alleging facts constituting
the nuisance activities, and containing a legal description of the property involved and
an allegation that the owners of record of the property have been notified of the facts
giving rise to the alleged nuisance activities at least ten (10) days prior to the filing of the
action with the court.
C. The complaint shall be served as provided in Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure (ORCP) 7.
No service need be made prior to an application for a temporary restraining order,

9 – Ordinance No. __________; (Council Meeting _____________, 2022)
provided the procedures of ORCP 79B are followed with regard to all persons entitled to
service under this section.
B.D. If, after the commencement but prior to the trial of any action or suit brought by the city, a
person in charge of chronic nuisance property stipulates with the city that he or she will pursue
a course of action the parties agree will abate the nuisance activities giving rise to the violation,
the city may agree to stay proceedings for a period of not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty
(60) days, except in the case of nuisance activity involving drugs where a search warrant was
executed at the property. The person in charge or the city may thereafter petition the court for
such additional periods of time as may be necessary to complete the action(s) to abate the
nuisance activities. However, in the event that the city reasonably believes the person in charge
of a property is not diligently pursuing the action(s) necessary to abate the nuisance activities,
the city may apply to the court for release from the stay and may seek such relief as is deemed
appropriate.
E. If the existence of the nuisance is established in the action, an order of abatement
shall be entered as part of the judgment in the case. The order may contain any or all of
the following remedies:
1. Order that the property be closed and secured against all access, use, and
occupancy for a period of not less than six (6) months, nor more than one (1) year.
The court shall retain jurisdiction during any period of closure. The person in
charge may petition the court for an order reducing the period of closure if the
person in charge and the city stipulate that the nuisance has been and will
continue to be abated. The court shall not include provisions for the closing of the
premises under the provisions of this subsection unless that relief is specifically
requested in the complaint.
2. Impose a civil penalty of up to $250 per day for each day nuisance activities
occurred on the property following notice.
3. Any other relief prayed for and deemed appropriate.
F. A property shall no longer be determined to be a chronic nuisance property either
after the passage of one year from the date of the last reported chronic nuisance activity
or the date the chronic nuisance abatement plan was approved, whichever is later.
G. The city shall have the initial burden of proof to show by a preponderance of the
evidence that the property is a chronic nuisance property.
C. H. It is an affirmative defense to an action for chronic nuisance property that the person in
charge at all material times could not, in the exercise of reasonable care or diligence, determine
that the property had become chronic nuisance property, or could not, in spite of the exercise
of reasonable care and diligence, control the conduct leading to the determination that the
property is chronic nuisance property.

10 – Ordinance No. __________; (Council Meeting _____________, 2022)
D. In the event a court determines property to be chronic nuisance property, the court shall
order that the property be closed and secured against all access, use and occupancy for a
period of not less than six months, nor more than one year. The court shall retain jurisdiction
during any period of closure. The person in charge may petition the court for an order reducing
the period of closure if the person in charge and the city stipulate that the nuisance has been
and will continue to be abated.
E. If a property is found to be chronic nuisance property, the person in charge of the chronic
nuisance property is subject to a civil penalty of up to one hundred dollars per day for each day
nuisance activities occurred on the property following notice.
F.I. In establishing the amount of any civil penalty requested, the court may consider any of the
following factors and shall cite those found applicable:
1. The actions taken by the person in charge to mitigate or correct the nuisance activities
at the property;
2. The financial condition of the person in charge;
3. Whether the problem at the property was repeated or continuous;
4. The magnitude or gravity of the problem;
5. The cooperativeness of the person in charge with the city;
6. The cost of the city of investigating and correcting or attempting to correct the nuisance
activities; and
7. Any other factor deemed by the court to be relevant.
G.J. The provisions of this chapter 8.02 are separate and distinct remedies from those
specified in Central Point Code chapters 8.01, and 8.03 through 8.45. Nothing in these
provisions shall require any conviction for criminal activities prior to the commencement of any
action provided herein.
SECTION 7. Chapter 8.02.060 of the Central Point Municipal Code is hereby amended in part:
8.02.060 Enforcement—Costs and Attorney Fees.
A. The court may authorize the city to physically secure the property against all access, use or
occupancy in the event that the person in charge fails to do so within the time specified by the
court. In the event that the city is authorized to secure the property, all costs reasonably
incurred by the city to physically secure the property shall be paid to the city by the person in

payment thereof to the city.
E. The person in charge shall pay reasonable relocation costs of a tenant as defined by
ORS 90.100(31) as determined by the court if, without actual notice, the tenant moved into
the property after either:

City of Central Point
Staff Report to Council
ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
City Manager
FROM: Chris Clayton, City Manager
MEETING DATE: October 27, 2022
SUBJECT: OMA/LOC Memorandum Regarding Partnership Needed to Solve
Statewide Homelessness Emergency
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion
Information/Direction
RECOMMENDATION:
None Forwarded
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
This past May, the Oregon Mayors Association (OMA) formed a Taskforce on
Homelessness. Twenty-five mayors, representing cities of all sizes from around the
state, studied Oregon’s homelessness crisis. And while the crisis may seem
insurmountable, given that the symptoms and solutions look different between urban
and rural communities and vary based on a city’s size, geography and available service
providers, local government leaders have developed a solution to Oregon’s crisis of the
unhoused.
The OMA Homelessness Taskforce’s plan to humanely and timely address the
homelessness crisis in Oregon is a partnership between the State of Oregon and its 241
cities. This partnership will allow for the establishment and expansion of local,
community-based responses that provide immediate shelter, needed services, and
secure safety for unhoused Oregonians. During the 2023 Legislative session, the OMA
will propose two separate, yet parallel, budget proposals: (1) a budget package which
provides direct allocation to cities for homelessness response and prevention services;
and (2) a budget package that provides capital improvement funding for cities.
10.A
Packet Pg. 109
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
With a $50,000 guarantee for all cities, and a $40.00 per resident multiplier in place,
based on the April 19, 2022, PSU population estimates, the total amount requested
would equal $123,575,800.00 annually.
For cities located in Region 7, a $40 per resident allocation equates to an annual
allocation of the dollar amounts denoted below:
• Ashland - $862,160
• Central Point - $788,080
• Eagle Point - $394,160
• Gold Hill - $54,400
• Grants Pass - $1,579,000
• Jacksonville - $123,200
• Medford - $3,494,120
• Phoenix - $163,840
• Rogue River - $97,400
• Shady Cove - $123,800
• Talent - $229,480
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
Not Applicable
COUNCIL GOALS/STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS:
In the “what we learned during our process” section of the 2040 City of Central Point
Strategic Plan, the following was offered:
Overall, the feedback from the 2019 survey was optimistic about the City and the
services it provides. More specifically, residents say the City is headed in the right
10.A
Packet Pg. 110
direction and are very satisfied or satisfied with City services overall. A vast majority of
residents feel Central Point is exceptionally safe from a public safety standpoint, but
understand that issues like mental health, addiction, and homelessness represent
challenges. Additionally, City Parks & Open Spaces, Recreation Programs, and City-
operated Special Events are all considered as enhancements to the Central Point way
of life.
Strategic Priority – Responsible Governance
GOAL 5 - Continue to develop and foster the city’s community policing program.
STRATEGY 1 – Build relationships with the community through interactions with local
agencies, stakeholders, and members of the public, creating partnerships and programs
for reducing crime and disorder.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending the Council provide direction on whether to offer a letter of
support as requested by the OMA Homelessness Taskforce and Oregon Mayors
Association Board of Directors.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to authorize the city manager to issue the requested letter of support to the OMA
Homelessness Taskforce and the OMA Board of Directors.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayors and Chief Executive Officers of Region 7 From: The Oregon Mayors Association Date: October 18, 2022 Re: Partnership Needed to Solve Statewide Homelessness Emergency
This past May, the Oregon Mayors Association (OMA) formed a Taskforce on Homelessness.
Twenty-five mayors, representing cities of all sizes from around the state, studied Oregon’s homelessness crisis. And while the crisis may seem insurmountable, given that the symptoms and solutions look different between urban and rural communities and vary based on a city’s size, geography and available service providers, local government leaders have developed a
solution to Oregon’s crisis of the unhoused.
The OMA Homelessness Taskforce’s plan to humanely and timely address the homelessness crisis in Oregon is a partnership between the State of Oregon and its 241 cities. This partnership will allow for the establishment and expansion of local, community-based
responses that provide immediate shelter, needed services, and secure safety for unhoused
Oregonians. During the 2023 Legislative session, the OMA will propose two separate, yet parallel, budget proposals: (1) a budget package which provides direct allocation to cities for homelessness response and prevention services; and (2) a budget package that provides capital improvement funding for cities.
Direct Allocation
A direct allocation of funding from the state to each incorporated city in Oregon for cities to use in their homelessness response and prevention services is being proposed by the OMA.
• It is proposed that each city will be allocated funds in an amount equal to $40 per resident, in accordance with the latest official population estimates from Portland State University.
• The proposal requires that in no instance will an incorporated city receive less than $50,000 in direct funding.
• OMA’s proposal provides cities the ability to elect to use the funds for their own homelessness response and prevention services, or to redirect their funds to community partners who are required to use the funds for homelessness response and prevention services.

OMA’s proposal states that funds must be used for homelessness response and prevention
services, which may include:
• Abatement/clean-up
• Environmental mitigation
• Affordable housing
• Capital construction or improvement costs related to homelessness or affordable housing measures
• Community resource officers
• Education and outreach
• Food bank assistance
• Shelter and/or transitional housing
• Hygiene stations
• Operation costs
• Outreach workers
• Prevention
With a $50,000 guarantee for all cities, and a $40.00 per resident multiplier in place, based on
the April 19, 2022, PSU population estimates, the total amount requested would equal $123,575,800.00 annually. For cities located in Region 7, a $40 per resident allocation equates to an annual allocation of
the dollar amounts denoted below:
• Ashland - $862,160
• Butte Falls - $50,000
• Canyonville - $65,960
• Cave Junction - $85,960
• Central Point - $788,080
• Drain - $50,000
• Eagle Point - $394,160
• Elkton - $50,000
• Glendale - $50,000
• Gold Hill - $54,400
• Grants Pass - $1,579,000
• Jacksonville - $123,200
• Medford - $3,494,120
• Myrtle Creek - $140,040
• Oakland - $50,000
• Phoenix - $163,840
• Riddle - $50,000
• Rogue River - $97,400
• Roseburg - $948,040
• Shady Cove - $123,800
• Sutherlin - $356,360
• Talent - $229,480
• Winston - $228,000
• Yoncalla - $50,000 Capital Allocation
In addition to the direct allocations, the Taskforce’s proposal requires a meaningful allocation from the State for coordinated capital construction investments for specific shelter and transitional housing projects, statewide. It is expected that a final dollar amount for needed capital construction investments will equal between $125 to $175 million. The OMA is seeking information from Oregon cities about any needs they may have for capital
construction investments from the state in their local responses to addressing the homelessness crisis. Request for Support
The OMA Homelessness Taskforce and the OMA Board of Directors seek the support of Oregon’s 241 cities for the above-described proposal. In an effort to present the legislature and Oregon’s next governor with a truly coordinated and collaborative proposal, the OMA hopes to submit its legislative request with as many city partners as possible.

To explain the statewide nature of this crisis, the League of Oregon Cities (LOC), in
partnership with the OMA, has secured the services of a communications specialist to work
directly with cities interested in supporting the OMA proposal. The communications specialist will work directly with interested cities to develop a one-page document that outlines a city’s unique experience with homelessness, and how the funding proposed by the OMA would help the city respond to, or even prevent, homelessness in their community. Work performed by
the consultant in support of the OMA proposal will be paid for by the LOC.
Oregon’s mayors are leading the on-the-ground response on homelessness, and the prevention thereof, but cities cannot do so alone and need joint leadership from state government to support cities and our county partners. The OMA Taskforce has called on Oregon’s next
governor and legislature to fund the services and housing needed to make an impact on
Oregon’s homelessness crisis; the support of Region 7 cities will go a long way to expressing the importance and impact of this proposal. If your city is interested in supporting the proposal, please contact any of the LOC staff
persons listed below as soon as possible, ideally cities wishing to provide support to the
proposal should make contact no later than November 4th.
• Patty Mulvihill, LOC Interim Executive Director – pmulvihill@orcities.org
• Ariel Nelson, LOC Housing & Land Use Lobbyist – anelson@orcities.org
• Angela Speier, Projects & Affiliates Manager – aspeier@orcities.org
