grounds as an Urban Reserve area -revisit after 5 years; Amendment 20 -appropriate
time to review Gibbon Acres would be at the time of the first periodic review. These are
the four areas that we have received comments on.
Larry Martin, a member of the Citizens Advisory Committee, was in the audience and
came forward to urge the commission to strike the last line of the third paragraph of
amendment 8 "this mechanism is allowed outright as a mid-term buffer and may be
allowed as a long-term buffer." The standards and rules are the same for mid-term and
long-term buffers, he explained, and the process would e much cleaner if taken out. Mr.
Martin stated that he supported the changes to amendments 14, 18 and 20.
Mr. Martin expressed his concern with wording contained in the planning resolution and
felt that we need to make it a point to say that by approving g the amendments, w e are
not condoning what other cities are doing.
Tom Humphrey said that he would rewrite the clause in the resolution to reflect that the
City of Central Point did not wish to comment on Urban Reserve Area amendments
pertinent to the cities of Medford, Phoenix and Talent.
Tim Schmeusser made a motion to approve Resolution 783 forwarding a
favorable recommendation to the City Council to approve the Regional Plan
with the amendments subject to modifications and comments as set forth in
Exhibit B. Chuck Piland seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Oliver, yes;
Piland, yes; Schmeusser, yes; and Samuelson, yes. Motion passed.
Agricultural Bufferine Standards
Stephanie Simonich, Planning Intern, provided commissioners with an introduction to
agricultural buffering standards that will need to be considered to reduce conflict between
farming activities and urban development. Ms. Simonich explained the general
application and applicability of buffers, Despite the difference in longevity of these
buffers, they have the same standards and require the same amount of land for buffering
against chemical spray drift, noise, sediment and storm water runoff, trespassing and
vandalism, odor, dust, smoke and ash. The objectives and requirements were presented
for each type of buffering was presented, followed by an explanation of the impact and
cost involved.
Urban Renewal Uadate
Don Burt, Planning Manager, advised that there would be a joint meeting of the Planning
Commission and City Council on September 19, 2011 to discuss boundaries for an urban
renewal district and the fiscal impact involved with creating the district. Mr. Burt
explained that the requirement for establishing the maximum indebtedness that the
district could incur is required by state law. A list of projects has been created and the
committee is looking at our cost, both present value and future value. Mr. Burt went on

to explain tax increment revenue would be the primary source of revenue funding urban
renewal. Other sources would include grants, developer participation, system
development charges, etc. Some of the projects, he said, were "pay as you go". Others
would be funded by borrowing against a revenue source.

In summary the Urban Renewal Plan:
1. Covers an area of 446.30 acres, or approximately I5.5% of the total city area;
2. Includes fifteen (15) projects, with a maximum indebtedness limitation of $46,462,230;
3. Has a duration of 25 year, beginning in FY 2011-12 and ending in FY 2036-37;
4. Is financially feasible based on projected increases in the Urban Renewal Area's assessed value;
the increases in assessed value are. based on the successful implementation of the proposed
projects;
5. Will have a minimal impact on affected taxing districts during the duration of the Urban Renewal
Plan, which will be significantly off-set upon conclusion of the Urban Renewal Plan; and
6. The Urban Renewal Plan is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Attachments "B" and "C" summarize the Urban Renewal Plan's financial feasibility and fiscal impact on
affected taxing districts.
r Planning Commission meetings of 6/7, 7/5, 8/2, and 9/6.

ISSUES:
As the Planning Commission reviews the drafr Urban Renewal Plan specific attention should be given to:
1. Proposed boundary (Exhibit 2 of Plan);
2. Mission, Goals, and Objectives (Section 500 of Plan);

administrative in nature.

Renewal Plan. The Report covers nine specific criteria that address the adequacy of an urban renewal
plan. Staff will go over each of these nine criteria at the meeting. For those interested in reading the
