MEETING CALLED TO ORDER AT 6:00 P.M. II. ROLL CALL Commissioners Chuck Piland, Tim Schmeusser, Rick Samuelson, Jr., Mike Oliver and Tom Van Voorhees were present. Justin Hurley was absent. Also in attendance were: Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director; Connie Clune, Community Planner; and Didi Thomas, Planning Secretary. III. CORRESPONDENCE —None IV. MINUTES Tim Schmeusser questioned relocation of the street light in Twin Creeks that a white oak tree was interfering with as discussed at the March 6, 2012 meeting. It was determined that the minutes should reflect that the street light "could" be relocated in lieu of "will" be relocated. Tim Schmeusser made a motion to approve the minutes of the March 6, 2012 Planning Commission meeting with this correction. Rick Samuelson, Jr. seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Schmeusser, yes; Samuelson, yes; Oliver, abstained; Van Voorhees, yes; Piland, yes.. Motion passed. V. PUBLIC APPEARANCES Scott Miller, a resident of North Valley Estates subdivision, came forward to express safety concerns with the lack of sidewalks in the vicinity of Fair City Market at the intersection of 10th and P Streets. School children, he stated, were walking on the shoulder of the roads in that area. Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director, responded that these concerns would be forwarded to the Public Works department to see what they could do about the situation and will let Mr. Miller know the outcome of their decision. The Upton Road bridge project was very limited in scope, Mr. Humphrey added, and therefore, desired infrastructure improvements were quite limited. VI. BUSINESS A. File No. 12007. A public hearing to consider a Conditional Use Permit application to allow for construction of an alternative vehicle fueling Planning Commission Minutes April 3, 2012 Page 2 station to sell liquefied natural gas (LNG) to long -haul trucks or other heavy -duty vehicles at the Pilot Travel Center in a C -4, Tourist and Office Professional zoning district. The project is designed with two (2) vertical natural gas storage tanks 41.66 feet in height, four (4) canopy covered dispensers and the necessary infrastructure to store and deliver the fuel. The physical address is 1600 East Pine Street and is identified on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37S 2W 02D, Tax Lot 2901. Applicant: Monica Ultreras, Clean Energy; Agent: Edward Paek, Permit Place There were no conflicts or ex parte communications to disclose. Connie Clime, Community Planner, presented a staff report for the proposed conditional use permit. Ms. Clune advised that the proposed fuel storage tanks would be vertical and not horizontal. Ms. Clune advised that the site was adequate for the proposed use, had adequate access, would comply with safety regulations and would not have an adverse impact on neighboring properties. Applicant Clean Energy met with the business owners of adjoining properties who were concerned with the safety of the project. Commissioners asked if those safety concerns had been addressed to the satisfaction of the property owners and were assured that they had. Community Development Director Tom Humphrey stated that property owners were also concerned with the aesthetics of the project. The owners, he reported, thought that this would be a financially beneficial project as it could attract other businesses to their properties. Mr. Humphrey added that one of the Public Works standards limited the applicant to a 50 foot driveway access and applicant has indicated that they would like to have a 75 foot access onto Good Fortune Road. Public Works has requested that the applicant justify the need for a wider driveway to their satisfaction. The public portion of the hearing was opened. Mike Robinson, agent for applicant Clean Energy, came forward to speak about the proposed project. Mr. Robinson advised that liquefied natural gas is cheaper and cleaner than diesel and provides an alternative energy solution for long -haul trucks. The proposed fueling station to be located in Central Point is the first of many to be built. Mr. Robinson said that they are building the fueling stations from the southern part of the United States north. Aside from being cheaper than diesel, Clean Energy has made a commitment to maintain low pricing for 5 years. Trucking fleets will replace existing vehicles with newer, cleaner burning engines that produce 30% less particulate and maintain the same gas mileage. Liquefied natural gas, he added, is pure methane and is cooled to 160° below zero to keep it in liquid form so that it is safe to transport. No cooling or compressing would be Planning Commission Minutes April 3, 2012 Page 3 required at the fueling facility, Mr. Robinson said. The fuel is held in a double stainless steel tank and is odorized for safety. A double masonry wall is constructed around the tanks to protect them from crashes and help contain any spills. Liquefied natural gas is natural and there is a lot of it available all over the country. It is safer than gas or diesel, Mr. Robinson pointed out, and safer to transport. Trucks run quieter he added. As justification to widen the existing driveway, Mr. Robinson advised that it is too narrow and trucks would have to swing out into oncoming traffic in order to execute a turn. One person in the audience came forward to express concerns about increased truck traffic. Mr. Robinson assured that there would be no net increase in truck traffic. Other fueling stations would be built over time to provide other places for trucks to stop. Central Point would not be providing the only fueling station. The public portion of the hearing was then closed. Chuck Piland stated that he presumed the applicant would be adhering to landscape and sign requirements in code. Mike Robinson indicated that his company was not opposed to the idea of a mural on the tanks. Trees planted for landscaping would ultimately obscure most of the view of the tanks, he added. Tom Humphrey suggested that the resolution for approval of this project contain the language set forth in the copy of the e -mail provided to Commissioners. Mike Oliver made a motion to approve Resolution 785 granting a conditional use permit for the construction of a vehicle fueling station for the sale of liquefied natural gas (LNG) located at the Pilot Travel Center in the C -4, Tourist and Office Professional zoning district. Applicant is required to meet City Standards for driveway access onto Good Fortune Road unless they can provide an engineering explanation and demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director, the need for a 70 foot driveway apron. Said justification shall be produced prior to approval of the construction drawings for the facility. Tim Schmeusser seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Van Voorhees, yes; Samuelson, Jr., yes; Oliver, yes; Schmeusser, yes. Motion carried. VII. DISCUSSION Tree Removal/Replacement authority of Planning Commission Tom Humphrey introduced Stephanie Holtey, Floodplain/Stormwater Coordinator. Mrs. Holtey informed Commissioners that one of her duties is tree program management. When a street tree becomes diseased or hazardous, the request is generally routed through her for resolution. The strategic plan for Central Point promotes the creation of a more liveable community and planting trees ties into this goal. In addition, Mrs. Holtey stated, Planning Commission Minutes April 3, 2012 Page 4 water quality requirements have come down from the State showing that inadequate shade created warmer streams. The City could also receive a Tree City USA designation and develop a more systematic way of managing trees. Mrs. Holtey asked Commissionerss how they felt about tree management in Central Point and asked for some feedback and input as to whether they wanted to continue as the tree board for the City. Mike Oliver asked if the tree ordinance was where we want it to be. Mrs. Holtey responded that with a few minor changes it could be. She added that we need to inventory trees and have an advisory board in place to encourage more public involvement and input. Code, Mrs. Holtey pointed out, sets forth how we deal with trees in our community. The tree board needs to provide input and feedback. A tree clinic will be conducted this year. The City of Central Point will be partnering with the Grange Co -op and participants will receive a free tree. Mrs. Holtey said that as a "Tree City USA ", the City would become eligible to increase their ability to apply for grants. This designation would be a source of community pride as well. We could take advantage of programs that we are already running, and planting more trees can help us meet our water quality goals as well. Tom Humphrey suggested that the Planning Commission, in their continuing capacity as tree board, could help make adjustments to the code section on trees, shepherd the process of becoming a Tree City USA and approve what types of trees should be allowed in the City. They decided to devote time to this subject at their regular meetings once a quarter. Mrs. Holtey said that she would get some information together to bring back to the Planning Commission for review. Regional Problem Solving (RPS) Plan Update Tom Humphrey advised that the letter in the packet from the Land Conservation and Development Commission was a summary of the meeting held in Newport, Oregon, to review the Regional Plan. Central Point was represented by Jackson County at the meeting and the comments received were all positive. Cities will be making adjustments and preparing their own Regional Plan elements based on the County's changes. Once this is done, Urban Reserve areas will be created in the Rogue Valley and we could expand into these areas. An Agricultural Task Force, Mr. Humphrey added, will oversee the creation of an agricultural buffering ordinance and provide a voice for irrigation districts in the Valley. It is anticipated that a draft element will be presented at the May Planning Commission meeting as well as a proposed comprehensive plan amendment for several properties located along Table Rock Road. Planning Commission Minutes April 3, 2012 Page S VIII. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEWS — None IX. MISCELLANEOUS X. ADJOURNMENT Mike Oliver made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Tom Van Voorhees seconded the motion. Meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m. The foregoing minutes of the April 3, 2012 Planning Commission meeting were approved by the Planning Commission at its meeting on the day of .2012. Planning Commission Chair COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND CODE CHANGE TABLE ROCK ROAD CENTRAL Community Development STAFF REPORT POINT `f`om Huriiphrey; AICP Community Development Director STAFF REPORT May 1, 2012 ITEM: A Public Hearing to Consider Comprehensive Plan (map) and Municipal Code Zoning (map) Amendments from C -N, Neighborhood Commercial to M -1, Light Industrial for 7.61 acres on Table Rock Road north of Pine Street /Biddle Road in the Central Point Urban Growth Boundary. Applicant: City of Central Point STAFF SOURCE: Tom Humphrey AICP, 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 (UGB) in a county industrial zone and there is no incentive for the property owner to annex knowing that the property would be out of compliance once he does. DISCUSSION: 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. There is no incentive for industrial property owners and manufacturing businesses to annex to the city if the city and county land uses are inconsistent. 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 3rd Streets or the stores and Dave's Market at Hopkins and Bursell Roads. Central Point East subdivision once contemplated access to Table Rock Road. A convenience shopping area and zoning might have made sense in the past however this is no longer the case. Changing the zoning from C -N to M -1 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 will either confirm or discourage the City from pursuing the amendments. 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. The Council passed such a resolution in February (see Attachment B). ISSUES: No significant issues have surfaced relative to this proposal. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) determined that the proposal will not adversely impact the states' transportation facility and that the proposed land use actions do not trigger ODOT's review. Jackson County Roads has no objections to the changes and they acknowledge that the City's proposed zoning is equivalent to the County's existing zoning along Table Rock Road. The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) chose not to comment on the amendment (refer to Attachment Q. The City has heard from property owners who are affected by the proposed amendment and also from some neighbors. The owners and neighbors who have responded have all been in favor of the change. In order to make a recommendation to the City Council, the Planning Commission must make findings either in favor or against the proposed amendment. These findings are based on Oregon State Planning Goals 1 -14 and are included in this report as Attachment D. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A: Comprehensive Plan Map(s) Attachment B: Resolution of Intent Attachment C: Letters from Affected Agencies Attachment D: Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law Attachment E: Planning Commission Resolution ACTION: Conduct a public hearing and recommend for or against an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan (map) and municipal code, zoning (map) to from commercial land use designations and zoning to light manufacturing ones along Table Rock Road. RECOMMENDATION: Conduct a public hearing and recommend amendment of the Comprehensive Plan (map) and municipal code, zoning (map) from commercial land use designations and zoning to light manufacturing ones along Table Rock Road.

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.

The city shall require a traffic impact analysis (TIA) as part of an application for development, a change in use, or a change in access in the following situations: 2. If the application does not include residential development, a TIA shall be required when a land use application involves one or more of the following actions: a. A change in zoning or a plan amendment designation; b. Any proposed development or land use action that a road authority, including the city, Jackson County or ODOT, states may have operational or safety concerns along its.facility(ies); c. An increase in site traffic volume generation by two hundred f fty average daily trips (ADT) or more; d. An increase in peak hour- volume of a particular movement to and from the State highway by twenty percent or more; e. An increase in use of adjacent streets by vehicles exceeding twenty thousand pounds gross vehicle weight by ten vehicles or more per day; f The location of the access driveway does not meet minimum sight distance requirements, as determined by the city engineer, or is located where vehicles entering or leaving the property are restricted, or such vehicles queue or hesitate on the state highway, creating a safety hazard in the discretion of the community development director; or g. A change in internal traffic patterns that, in the discretion of the community development director, may cause safety problems, such as back -up onto a street or greater potential for traffic accidents. Finding: For comprehensive plan map and zoning map amendments 17.05.900(A)(2) provide actions that either individually or collectively determine the need for Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). Of the seven factors only one is present for this amendment, (A)(2)(a).
