ADJOURNMENT City of Central Point Citizens Advisory Committee Minutes December 7, 2011 6:00 p.m. A Citizens Advisory Committee meeting was held in the Police Training Room on December 7, 2011, commencing at 6:00 p.m. Present were Chairman Herb Farber, David Painter, Larry Martin, Sam Inkley, Jr. and Eric Snyder. Jeff Pfeifer and Wade Six were absent. Also in attendance were Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director, Don Burt, Planning Manager, and Connie Clune, Community Planner, Minutes There were no minutes to be approved. Public Appearances There were no public appearances. Downtown and East Pine Street Corridor Revitali ation Plan an Urban Renewal Plan or the City of Central Point Planning Manager Don Burt explained the Comprehensive Plan components and land development code compliance for the urban renewal plan. The Goal for the Plan is to enhance the downtown and core area of Central Point. He presented charts for the average growth from 2007 to 2012; the real market value vs. assessed value; and presented the proposed map that includes residential, commercial, and the downtown core area. The commercial areas on the east side of I-5 have transportation issues that could be assisted by the Urban Renewal plan. , There are 15 projects in the Urban Renewal Plan. He explained the costs associated with the projects were done by previous studies for future planning. These projects have all been the topic of discussion over the last five years and still in need of improvement. Projects can be removed if funds are not available or moved up and down the list according to grant and funding options. If a project is not on the list when the District is formed, the Urban Renewal Agency and City Council will be required to go through another public process to add it. The recommended projects will be discussed by the Development Commission in January to better define and clarify the need and descriptions. Staff has been reviewing previous studies and recommendations in order to Citizens Advisory Committee December 7, 2011 Page 2 gather enough information to include in the plan. Project lists are broad in description so the District is not limited in the future. If the project description is specific it would limit the agency from including items such as landscape or sidewalks unless they are listed. By listing Project 3 as "Neighborhood Sidewalks and Street Lighting", we are not limiting the agency to specific streets or sidewalks. The improvements only need be in the north side and south side neighborhoods. Mr. Burt explained the maximum indebtedness is $43,177,530. If the district needs to increase this amount, we would be required to start the process from the beginning. The Agency can spend less, but they cannot spend more. There will be methodology for the funds and actions will be recorded by resolution. The funds will be audited just like a city budget, but it will be a separate budget document. There will also be a separate Budget Committee. The amount must be realistic and can continue to be adjusted until the Council adopts the plan and creates the Urban Renewal District. Staff does not recommend creating a priority list because it would limit the ability to apply for grants and other funding. Other funding could consist of City SDC fees and developer contributions depending on the project and location. The plan duration is 25 years. Urban renewal helps get projects done now rather than waiting until the city is able to acquire the funds down the road when the associated costs could increase. There will be public notices sent to all residents of Central Point for a series of public meetings. Staff is asking for a motion to approve the Planning Commission Resolution forwarding a positive recommendation to the City Council. David Painter made a motion to Approve Resolution 784, A Resolution Forwarding a Recommendation to the City Council to Approve the Downtown and East Pine Street Corridor Revitalization Plan, An Urban Renewal Plan for the City of Central Point. Herb Farber seconded. Roll Call: Herb Farber, yes; David Painter, yes; Sam Inkley, Jr., yes; Larry Martin, yes; and Eric Snyder, yes. Motion approved. Larry Martin left for another meeting. Regional Problem Solving Update Community Development Director Tom Humphrey presented a status report on the RPS process. The County Commissioners approved the plan and will pass that approval to DLCD. Before DLCD will acknowledge the plan, each city must pass a comprehensive plan amendment. These amendments will include the areas that will comprise the urban reserve. Local cities are all working on a regional plan `element' for their city. They all agree this will be a cleaner, more expedient way of addressing state requirements. Citizens Advisory Committee December 7, 2011 Page 3 After the first of the year, Mr. Humphrey will return to the committee with the element portion to send to DLCD fora 45 day comment period and review. DLCD will make sure all the elements match the regional plan. After acknowledgement, each city can apply for an Urban Growth Boundary Amendment. All the cities are working hard on their element in order to get a speedy closure to this project. Meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m. The foregoing minutes of the December 7, 2011 Citizens Advisory Committee were approved by the Citizens Advisory Committee at its meeting of 2012. ' Chairman LGDG REYIEVY & REGOMMENDATIOItiI FOR REC IOI~iAL PLAN STAFF REPORT CENTRAL POINT STAFF REPORT April 10, 2012 Planning Department L_ ---_ _-- _- Tom Humphrey, AICP, Community Development Director/ AGENDA ITEM: Introduction of a Letter from the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) regarding their Review of the Regional Plan. STAFF SOURCE: Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director BACKGROUND: The Jackson County Board of Commissioners approved the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan late last year and that plan was presented to the state's Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) on March 15~~' for their review and comment. No formal action was taken and the attached letter is a summary of their recommended changes to make the document acceptable for acknowledgement. The changes recommended in the letter will be made at the County level and then each participating City will prepare and adopt their own Regional Plan (Comprehensive Plan) Element based on the County's changes. The cities expect to complete their review and adoption processes this summer so that the County and City plans can be resubmitted to LCDC for their review and approval in the fall. ISSUES: The eight specific recommendations only affect Central Point periphet~ally. The appointment of an Agricultural Task Force, their recommendations and the Agricultural Buffering Standards that each city will adopt will undoubtedly guide long range planning in the Central Point Urban Reserves. EXHIBITS/ATTACHMENTS: Attachment "A" -Letter to Kelly Madding from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development dated March 26, 2012 . ACTION: None. Information Only. RECOMMENDATION: Anticipate the Introduction of a Regional Plan Element for the Central Point Comprehensive Plan at upcoming CAC and Planning Commission meetings.

The commission heard testimony from the county and interested parties and received written comments from a variety of individuals, organizations and jurisdictions. The commission commended the regional partners for their perseverance and provided support overall for the Regional Plan while proposing eight specific recommendations for revision. These recommendations are outlined below. Suggested additions are underscored and deletions struck. 1. Eliminate area PH-2 as an urban reserve. 2. Amend Chapter 5, Section 2.20 of the Regional Plan as follows: Within six months of acknowledgement of the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan, Jackson County shall appoint an Agricultural Task Force made up of persons with expertise in appropriate fields, including but not limited to farmers, ranchers, foresters and soils scientists, representatives of the State Department of Agriculture, the State Forestry Department, the State Department of Land Conservation and Development, Jackson County, and a RPS participating city. The Agricultural Task Force shall develop a program to assess the impacts on the agricultural economy of Jackson County arising from the loss of agricultural land ~.. f Kelly Madding, Jackson County March 26, 2012 Page2of3 and/or the ability to irrigate agricultural land, which may result from Urban Growth Boundary Amendments. The Agricultural Task Force shall also identify1 develop, and recommend potential mitigation measures to offset those impacts. Appropriate mitigation measures shall be applied to Urban Growth Boundary Amendment proposals. 3. Amend Chapter S, Section 2.S of the Regional Plan to increase the committed residential density for the city of Medford from 6.5 to 6.6 gross du/acre for the time period of 2010 to 2035 and from 7.S to 7.6 gross du/acre for the time period of 2036 to 2060. NOTE: LCDC requested that the city strive to increase its eff ciency of development to the extent possible. 4. Amend Chapter S, Section 2.9.8 as follows: PH-5. Development of the portion of PH-5 designated as emblovment land is restricted to industrial zoning. Prior to the expansion of the Phoenix Urban Growth Boundary into PH-5, the city shall adopt standards to create visual distinction between the city of Phoenix and the city of Medford. S. Amend Chapter 5, Section 2.9 to add a subsection as follows: PH-1, PH-la, PH-3, PH-S, PH-I0. Prior to the expansion of the city of Phoenix Urban Growth Boundary into any Urban Reserve Area to accommodate ernployrnent land need, the region shall agree on a mechanism (such as a Regional Economic Opportunities Analysis) to assist the city of Phoenix in justifying the regional need for urban reserve PH-S. 6. Amend Chapter S, Section 2 of the Regional Plan to add a subsection as follows: Far the purposes of UGB amendments, the amount and type of park land included shall be consistent with the requirements of OAR 660-024-0040 ar the park land u need shown in the acknowledged plans. 7. Amend Chapter S, Section 2 of the Regional Plan to add a subsection as follows: ~ Future urban growth boundary amendments will be required to utilize the definition of buildable land as those lands with a slope of less than 25 percent, or as consistent with OAR 660-008-0005(2) and other local and state requirements. 8. The agricultural buffering standards found in Volume 2, Appendix III of the Regional Plan may be reevaluated to determine whether there are conflicts with state law. If conflicts with state law are present, the agricultural buffering standards may be amended so long as the amendments do not reduce the effectiveness of the buffers. ~ Kelly Madding, Jackson County March 26, 2012 Page 3 of 3 We hope the commission's input assists the region in its efforts to complete the remaining processes leading to submission of the Regional Plan for final approval by the commission.

STAFF SOURCE: Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director BACKGROUND: The Community Development Department has had conversations with property owners along Table Rock Road regarding the C-N, Neighborhood Commercial zoning in which their properties are located. These property owners believe that the nature of their light manufacturing businesses don 't fit in this land use designation and zoning category. Their businesses involve light manufacturing which is not allowed in the C-N zoning district. In one case, a new business would like to move to Central Point and develop vacant land along Table Rock Road that is already in the city limits. The zoning prevents him from doing so. In another case, the manufacturing business already exists outside city limits in a county industrial zone and there is no incentive for the property owner to annex knowing that he would be out of compliance once he does. In February, the City Council passed a resolution of intent to initiate a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and corresponding zone changes for 7.6 acres (8 tax lots) on Table Rock Road. The state has been notified and the City is awaiting their response. ISSUES: The majority of the land west of Table Rock Road between Vilas and Pine/Biddle Roads is already designated for industrial use in the County and the City of Central Point. The same is true east of Table Rock Road in the County and the City of Medford. The C-N, Neighborhood Commercial zoning category was really intended for use in predominantly residential settings to accommodate convenience markets such as Fair City Market at l Ot'' and 3ra Streets or the stores and Market at Hopkins and Bursell Streets. Changing the zoning from C-N to M-1 will require both a Comprehensive Plan (map) amendment and a zoning (map) change. Initiating this process will engage other property owners who have not yet come forward to express their opinions. Public hearings and input from the State of Oregon is expected to occur in May. CPMC Section 17.96.020(B) grants the City Council the authority to initiate a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and corresponding zone changes upon their resolution of intent.

These property owners believe that the nature of their light manufacturing businesses ca<on 't. frt in this land use designation and zoning category.

In another case, the manufacturing business already exists outside city limits in a county industrial zone and there is no incentive for the property ow, ner to annex knowing that he would be out of compliance once he does. DISCUSSION: i ne ma~orny or the Tana west of t-able Kock Road between Vilas and Pine/Biddle Roads is already designated far industrial use in the County and the City of Central Point. The same is true east of Table Rock Road in the County and the City of Medford, The C-N, Neighborhood Commercial zoning category was really intended for use in predominantly residential settings to accommodate convenience markets such as Fair City Market at 10°i and 37d Streets or the stores and Market at Hopkins and Bursell Streets.

CPMC Section 17,96.020(B) grants the City Council the authority to initiate a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and corresponding zone changes upon their resolution of intent. ISSUES: Land use and transportation issues will be vetted once an amendment is initiated. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A: Resolution of Intent Attachment B: Comprehensive Plan Map ACTION: Declare the City's intent by Resolution to amend the Comprehensive Plan (map) and municipal code, zoning (map) to modify commercial land use designations and zoning along Table Rock Road.

A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE CITY COUNCIL'S INTENTION TO AMEND THE CENTRAL POINT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (MAPj AND CENTRAL POINT MUNCIPAL CODE (MAP) TO MODIFY COMMERCIAL LAND USE DESIGNATIONS AND ZONING ALONG TABLE ROCK ROAD IN THE CITY OF CENTRAL POINT RECITALS: A. An amendment of the Central Point Comprehensive Plan and corresponding sections of the municipal code may be initiated by adoption of a resolution of intention by the City Council per CPMC, Section 17.96.020(8). B. The City Council has reason to believe that some commercial plan designations and zoning is inappropriate for the Table Rock Road Corridor and that a change in the designations and zoning will be more compatible with County land uses and adjacent land uses in the City of Medford. C. The City Council has reason to believe that changes in comprehensive plan designations and zoning will encourage properties, now in the urban growth boundary, to annex to the city of Central Point. D. The City Council determines that it is in the City's economic interest and that the public necessity, convenience and general welfare require such amendment. The City of Central Point resolves: Section 1: It is the intention of the City Council to amend the Central Point Comprehensive Plan (map) and Central Point Municipal Code Zoning (map) to modify commercial land use designations and zoning along Table Rock Road.
