A. Minimum Requirements. The provisions of this Title, in their interpretation and application, are minimum requirements that have been adopted for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare. B. Conflicts. Unless otherwise specified, when there is a conflict between provisions in this Code or with other applicable regulations, the highest standard shall govern. The Planning Director shall decide which Code provision sets the highest standard.

Strict adherence to the graphic is not required except where a graphic contains a specific numerical standard or uses the word "shall," must," "required," or "prohibited." E. Requirements versus Guidelines. The use of the word "shall," "must," "required," or similar directive terms means the Code provision is a 18 — Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) requirement. The word "should," "encouraged," "recommended," or similar terms means the provision is a guideline, which may be imposed as a requirement but only where the applicable code criteria allow the Planning Commission to exercise such direction. F. Severability. The provisions of this Development Code are severable.

Development Code and Zoning Map. The City's Official Zoning Map ("Zoning Map"), which may be published, amended and filed separately from this Code, is part of this Code. The zoning districts depicted on the Zoning Map correspond to the zoning districts in this code in Section 17.12.030. In addition, this Code may contain zoning regulations for special areas (e.g. overlay zones), and for certain uses or structures that do not appear on the Zoning Map. C. Interpreting the Zoning Map. Except as otherwise specified by this Code, the City's zoning boundaries are designated on the Official Zoning Map, which is kept on file in the Planning Department at the Central Point City Hall.

Example of regulated features include, but are not limited to historical landmarks, floodplain boundaries, local wetland inventories, etc. In addition, the City may require field verification and mapping (e.g. survey) of a regulated feature as part of a development application where the feature is thought to exist on or adjacent to the subject property but its exact location is unknown. D. Boundary Lines. Zoning district boundaries are determined pursuant to CPMC 17.12.030 E. Changes to the Official Zoning Map. Proposed changes to the Zoning Map are subject to review and approval under CPMC 17.10. 17.04.070 Coordination of Building Permits A building permit shall not be issued until the Planning Director or designee has confirmed that all applicable requirements of this Code are met, applicable conditions of approval imposed as part of the land use process have been satisfied, or additional conditions are in place to assure compliance. 17.04.080 Official Action The City of Central Point Planning Director, Planning Commission and City Council are vested with authority to issue permits and grant approvals in conformance with the Land Development Code pursuant to the Application Review Procedures set forth in CPMC 17.05. 17.04.090 Enforcement and Penalties A. Violation a Public Nuisance. Any building or structure set up, erected, constructed, altered, enlarged, converted, moved or maintained contrary to the provisions of this title, and any use of any land, building or premises established, conducted, operated or maintained contrary to the provisions of 20 - Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) this title is unlawful and declared a public nuisance and may be abated as provided in Chapter 8.04 of the Central Point Municipal Code, and/or in such other manner as provided by law, and may take such other steps and apply to such courts as may have jurisdiction to grant such relief as will enjoin and remove such violation.

Violation of a provision of Chapters 16 or 17 constitutes a violation and upon conviction thereof shall be punishable by the general penalty set forth in CPMC 1.16. Every day in which a violation is caused or permitted to exist constitutes a separate offense. (Ord. 1684 §75, 1993; Ord. 1436 §2(part), 1981). 17.04.100 Fees A schedule of permit and service fees shall be established and may be periodically amended by resolution of the City Council. SECTION 9. CPMC Section 17.05.100 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: 17.05.100 Purpose and applicability of review procedures. A. Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to establish standard decision-making procedures that will enable the city, the applicant, and the public to review development permit applications and participate in the local decision-making process in a timely and effective way consistent with the citizen's involvement element of the comprehensive plan. Table 17.05.1 provides a key to identify the review procedures, applicable regulations, and the approving authority for development permit applications. B. Applicability of Review Procedures. All development permit applications identified in Table 17.05.1 shall be decided by using the appropriate procedures contained in this chapter. The procedural "type" assigned to each development permit application governs the decision-making process for that permit. There are four "types" of procedures: Type I, II, Ill, and IV, which are described as follows: 1. Type I. Type I procedures apply to administrative decisions made by the community development director or designee without public notice and without a public hearing. Type I procedures are used only when there are clear and objective approval standards and criteria, the application of which does not require the use of discretion. A Type I decision is the city's final decision. There are no appeals to a Type I procedural decision. 21 —Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) 2. Type II. Type II procedures apply to administrative decisions that involve clear and objective approval standards and criteria the application of which requires the use of limited discretion. Type II decisions are made by the community development director or designee with public notice, and an opportunity for a public hearing if appealed. The appeal of a Type II decision is treated as a Type III procedure, except that the appeal is to the planning commission, which is the final decision of the city. 3. Type III. Type III procedures are quasi-judicial decisions that involve the application of existing policies. Type III decisions generally use discretionary approval criteria, and do not have a significant effect beyond the immediate area of the application. Type III decisions are based on special studies or other information which will serve as the factual basis to support the decision. Type III decisions, when made by the planning commission, may be appealed to the city council. 4. Type IV Procedure. Type IV decisions are legislative decisions that establish by law general policies and regulations for future land use decisions, such as the adoption or revision of the comprehensive plan, and revisions to the zoning and the land division ordinance that have widespread and significant impact beyond the immediate area, i.e., quantitative changes producing large volumes of traffic, or a qualitative change in the character of the land use itself, such as conversion of residential to industrial use; or a spatial change that affects large areas or many different ownerships. Unless otherwise noted, all Type IV decisions are considered initially by the citizens advisory committee and the planning commission, with final decisions made by the city council. For annexation, the City Council makes a decision without a recommendation from the citizens advisory committee or planning commission. Table 17.05.1 provides a key to identify the review procedure for each land development permit.

This chapter provides standards and procedures for adjustments and variances, which are deviations from development standards that are not otherwise permitted elsewhere in this Title. The purpose of adjustments and variances is to allow for reasonable use of land when varied geography and complexities of land development require flexibility, especially housing development. The provisions in this chapter do not aim to waive all land use regulations and do not allow uses to be established that are not permitted in the zoning district in which the adjustment or variance is located. 17.13.200 Adjustments. Adjustments provide relief from specific code provisions when a code provision has the unintended effect of preventing reasonable development in conformance with all other code requirements. There are two categories of adjustments that 1) apply to general development and design standards, and 2) apply to certain housing developments established by SB 1537 and codified in ORS 197A. Adjustments across both categories do not apply to the situations provided in subsection (A). The standards and procedures for each adjustment type are set forth in subsections (B) and (C) below. A. Exclusions. Adjustments set forth in subsection (B) and subsection (C) below do not include the following: 1. Allowing use of property that is not permitted in the zoning district in which the adjustment is located; 34 — Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) 2. Regulations or requirements related to accessibility, fire ingress or egress, safety, tree planting, hazardous or contaminated site remediation, wildlife protection, affordability, or statewide land use goals related to natural resources and natural hazards; 3. A complete waiver of regulations or any changes beyond the explicit requested and allowed adjustments in subsections (B) and (C) below; and 4. Deviations from requirements related to implementation of building or fire codes, federal or state air, water quality or surface, ground or stormwater requirements, or requirements of any federal, state or local law other than a land use regulation. B. General Adjustments. 1. Applicability. General adjustments are minor modifications to Code standards that are intended to provide reasonable flexibility for planned development with the exception of housing developments that meet all of the standards and criteria in CPMC 17.13.400(B). The Community Development Director or designee may adjust the following standards using a Type II procedure set forth in CPMC 17.05.300: i. Setbacks. Up to a ten percent change to a minimum/maximum setback. ii. Lot Coverage: up to a 10 percent increase to the maximum lot coverage. iii. Lot Dimensions. Up to a 10 percent decrease to minimum lot dimensions. iv. Lot Area. Up to a 10 percent decrease to minimum lot area. v. Other standards. Up to a 10 percent increase or decrease in a quantitative (numerical) standard not listed above. Adjustments do not apply to building code requirements, engineering design standards, public safety standards, or standards implementing state or federal requirements as determined by the Community Development Director or designee. 2. Approval Criteria. The Community Development Director or designee may grant an adjustment upon finding that all of the following criteria are met. The burden is on the Applicant to demonstrate compliance with all of the criteria below: 35 -Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) i. The Adjustment allows for a site and building plan that does not create a substantial conflict with adjacent uses when compared to development that would be permitted without the adjustment. ii. The Adjustment is necessary to allow for normal interior building functions, such as mechanical equipment/utility closets, heating and ventilation systems, restrooms, stockrooms, shelving, and similar interior building functions; iii. Approval of the Adjustment does not create (a) violation(s) of any other adopted ordinance or code standard, and does not create the need for a Variance; iv. An application for an Adjustment is limited to one pre-existing lot per application; v. Requests for more than one Adjustment on the same lot shall be consolidated on one application and reviewed concurrently by the City; vi. Not more than two Adjustments may be approved for one lot or parcel; and, vii. All applicable building code requirements and engineering design standards shall be met. 17.13.300 Housing Adjustments The standards and criteria below respond to mandatory requirement to adjust housing development standards pursuant to SB 1537. A. Applicability. Housing Adjustments are distinct deviations from development and design standards provided in this section. The Community Development Director housing development adjustment requests using Type II procedures set forth in CPMC 17.05.300, except that notice of decision is mailed only to the applicant when an application is denied and only the applicant may appeal the decision. An application qualifies for a housing adjustment under this section only when all of the following conditions are met: 1. The application is for a building permit or Type Ill (quasi-judicial), Type II (limited) or Type I (ministerial) land use decision; 2.

(Ord. 1762 §1, 1997; Ord. 1615 §47, 1989; Ord. 1451 §1, 1982; Ord. 1436 §2(part), 1981). Sections: 17.56.010 Purpose. 17.56.020 Nonconforming Use. 17.56.030 Nonconforming Development. 17.56.040 Nonconforming Lot. 17.56.010Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to establish standards and procedures for the continuation of uses and developments that are lawfully established but do not comply with the current Code standards ("nonconforming situations"). It is the intent of this Chapter to protect the public health, safety and welfare while allowing reasonable use of private property. There are three nonconforming situations addressed in this chapter as follows: A. Nonconforming uses (e.g. industrial use in residential zone) are subject to subsection 17.56.020. B. Nonconforming developments (e.g. a structure does not meet setback, height or other development standards) are subject to subsection 17.56.030. C. Nonconforming lots (e.g. a lot is smaller than the minimum area standards) are subject to subsection 17.56.040. 45 —Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) 17.56.020Nonconforming Use. Nonconforming uses that were lawfully established, but that would not be permitted under the current Code, may continue subject to conformance with the following requirements: A. Location. The nonconforming use shall not be moved in whole or in part from one lot to another lot, except to bring the use into conformance with this Code. B. Expansion. A nonconforming use may be expanded up to 20% of the subject site or building area provided that the expansion does not create any new, or expand any existing, physical nonconformity of the site or building. Expansions authorized herein shall be processed using Type I land use procedures set forth in CPMC 17.05.200. C. Discontinuation or Abandonment. A nonconforming use that is discontinued for any reason for more than 12 months shall be deemed abandoned and no longer be an allowed use. For purposes of calculating the 12 month period, a use is discontinued when: 1. The use of land is physically vacated; 2. The use ceases to be actively involved in the sale of merchandise or the provision of services; for example, as evidenced by the removal of signs, goods, stock or office equipment, or the disconnection of telephone or utility service; 3. Any lease or contract under which the nonconforming use has occupied the land is terminated; or, 4. A request for final reading of water and power meters is made to applicable utility districts. 17.56.030Nonconforming Development Nonconforming developments include structures, buildings, and site improvements that were lawfully established but that include conditions that could not be built under the terms of the current Code, due to changes in development standards, such as, lot coverage, setbacks, building height, access, landscaping, parking or other standards. Nonconforming development may remain on the site so long as it remains otherwise lawful and complies with the following regulations: A. Alterations. A nonconforming development can be enlarged or altered in a way that does not increase its nonconformity, through a Type I review. For 46 - Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) example, an addition to an existing building that does not meet a required setback could be approved provided the building line does not further encroach on the nonconforming setback. B. Destruction. In the event a nonconforming development or nonconforming portion of a development is destroyed by fire, flood or other catastrophe beyond the owner's control, the nonconforming development may be reconstructed within 24 months in a manner that does not increase the nonconformity as it existed before the event. If the development is not reconstructed and received certificate of occupancy or is substantially complete within 24 months, the nonconformity shall no longer be allowed and reconstruction shall only be in full conformity with this Code. C. Roadway Access. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the owner of a nonconforming driveway approach or access to a public street or highway, upon receiving land use or development approval, may be required as a condition of approval to bring the nonconforming access into conformance with the standards of the applicable roadway authority. D. Relocation or Removal. Once a nonconforming structure or a portion of a nonconforming structure or development is moved, it shall thereafter conform to current standards. CPMC 17.56.040 Nonconforming Lot A. A lot of record, or a parcel of land for which a deed or other instrument dividing the land was recorded with Jackson County prior to May 5, 1980, which has an area or dimension less than required by this code, shall be considered legally nonconforming and may be developed and occupied by a permitted use subject to compliance with the minimum standards of this code. B. The taking by eminent domain action of a portion of an existing legal nonconforming lot shall not affect the legal right of the owner to use the remainder of such lot in any manner that would have been legal prior to the taking. C. If, by the taking by eminent domain action of a portion of a lot, which includes a legal non-conforming sign(s), said sign(s) may be moved to another location on the remaining portion of the lot, as permitted by the Planning Director (or designee), with the signs retaining their legal nonconforming status. Such relocated sign shall otherwise be in conformance with all standards of the Zoning Code. 47 —Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) SECTION 13.

It shall be unlawful to install, maintain or operate an electrified fence in violation of this section. The construction and use of electrified fences shall be allowed in the city only as provided in this section, and sections 17.57.010 to 17.57.030 subject to the following standards. For purposes of this section an electrified fence is any fence, barrier or enclosure partially or totally enclosing a building, field or yard, carrying any electrical pulse or charge through any part, section or element thereof. Electrified fence does not include underground wireless fencing (invisible fencing) which consists of an electronic system that uses a buried wire and radio signal to keep dogs or other animals from leaving the yard, which is permitted in any zone. Electrified fence does not include a battery charged fence, as defined in section 17.57.045 below. a. Electrified Fences shall be permitted in the M-1 and M-2 zone subject to compliance with the standards below. Electrified fences are prohibited 50 — Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) in all other zones. b. Permitted Electrified fences shall comply with the following: A. Permits Required. Electrified fences shall only be installed under a permit issued by the Building Department. Prior to initially energizing an electrified fence, the property owner or owner's agent shall contact the Fire Department to ensure fire officials inspect the premise for compliance and the location is added to the Fire Department's electrified fence registration list. B. Electrification. The electric charge produced by the fence upon contact shall be non-lethal, and shall not exceed the energizer characteristics set forth in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard No. 60335-2-76, 2018 edition. All electrical components shall bear the label of a testing agency recognized by the State of Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, Building Codes Division. The electrified fence shall be installed and used in accordance with the Oregon Electrical Specialty Code and Oregon Structural Specialty Code, the listing, and the manufacturer's installation instructions. i. The energizer for electrified fences shall be driven by a commercial storage battery or batteries, not to exceed 12 volts DC. The storage battery or batteries may be charged either by a solar panel, or a commercial trickle charger, or a combination of both. AC current shall not be used to energize any electrified fence. C. Fence Details. Electrified fences shall be constructed in the following manner: i. Maximum Height. Electrified fences shall not exceed 8 feet in height. ii. Perimeter Fence. No electrified fence shall be installed or used unless it is completely surrounded by a non-electrified perimeter fence in order to separate the electrified fence from the abutting property line and right-of-way. The non- electrified perimeter fence shall be installed under the regulations and height limitations in CPMC Chapter 17.57. The minimum height for the non-electrified perimeter fence shall be six feet. The electrified and non- electrified perimeter fence shall be separated by no 51 —Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) more than 12 inches. iii. Setbacks. Electrified fences shall not be located in the front yard setback, required landscaping areas, or required bufferyard areas. No electrified fence shall be installed within 12 inches/feet of a property line. iv. Fence Standards in conjunction with a Bufferyard. When a bufferyard exists, the applicant shall provide photographs of the existing fence or wall and vegetation. When a bufferyard does not exist and is required under current code, the non-electrified fence or wall shall be of solid construction (e.g. wood, concrete, masonry block) and the minimum height shall be eight feet and can be located at the property line. D. Warning Signs. Electrified fences shall be clearly identified with warning signs in English and in Spanish that read: "Warning-Electric Fence" and include the international symbol for an electrical hazard at intervals not to exceed thirty feet. The warning signs shall be mounted on both sides of the electrified fence. The signs shall be reflective with a minimum two-inch letter height, minimum stroke of one-half inch and with a contrasting background. E. Emergency Access. Fire Department access shall be provided in accordance with the Fire Code and the Oregon Structural Specialty Code. When a vehicle gate opens automatically, it shall open using a sensing device approved by the Fire Department. The vehicle gate shall provide a means for the Fire Department to egress through the gate. Power to the electrified fence, excluding gate opening controls, shall be deactivated upon automatic Fire Department access through the gate. In addition, an approved Knox key box or approved equivalent shall be provided at an exterior location for any keyed locks or keyed gates for immediate emergency access necessary for life-saving or fire-fighting purposes. An approved method to manually disconnect electrical power to all portions of the fence and gates, such as a "Knox Remote Shunt Control Station", shall be provided at an exterior location. The method and location of both the key box and the electrical disconnect shall be approved by the Medford Fire Code Official. F. Hours of Operation. An electrified fence shall only be energized during the hours when the general public does not have legal access 52 — Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) to the protected property. G. Surveillance. Electrified fences shall be part of a functioning security system and monitored 24 hours a day. H. Compliance. In addition to the remedies set forth in CPMC 17.57.050, failure to maintain an electrified fence in conformance with the standards set forth in this section may result in the fence being declared a public nuisance subject to abatement under Central Point Municipal Code 8.04. 17.57.045 Battery-charged Fence. A. Definitions. 1. A "battery charged fence" means a fence that interfaces with an alarm system in a manner that enables the fence to cause the connected alarm system to transmit a signal intended to summon law enforcement in response to an intrusion and has an energizer that is driven by battery. 2. An "alarm system" means any electrical, mechanical or electronic device or sensor used to prevent, detect or alert law enforcement or occupants of burglary, theft, or intrusion of a structure or a vehicle used as a commercial structure. B. Standards. 1. A battery-charged fence: a. Must use a battery that is not more than 12 volts of direct current; b. Must produce an electric charge on contact that does not exceed energizer characteristics set for electric fence energizers by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards; c. Must be surrounded by a nonelectric perimeter fence or wall that is not less than five feet in height; d. May not be higher than the greater of 8 feet in height or two feet higher than the height of the nonelectric perimeter fence or wall, whichever is less; 53 —Ordinance No. _2120_; (Council Meeting 12/12/24) e. Must be marked with conspicuous warning signs that are located on the fence at not more than 30-foot intervals and that read: "WARNING: ELECTRIC FENCE." f.
