The Council will be familiarized with this material and with the protocol for conducting a public hearing on the material in July. Applicant: City of Central Point STAFF SOURCE: Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director BACKGROUND: The Community Development Department has participated with Jackson County and the five cities who have participated in the Regional Problem Solving process for the last decade. In the wake of the County’s adoption, each city has prepared a new Regional Plan Element for the Comprehensive Plan as well as supporting documents including; a new map of the Urban Reserve Boundaries, an Urban Reserve Management Agreement and Agricultural Buffering and Mitigation Ordinances. DISCUSSION: The City Council will be given copies of the above mentioned material and the public hearing notice being distributed to property owners in the candidate Urban Reserve Areas and surroundings. Staff will highlight sections of the element, maps, agreement and ordinance that the Council should focus on for the public hearing in July. ISSUES: The Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) considered Jackson County’s adoption of the Regional Plan at their meeting in March. At that time, they informally recommended the County make changes to eight specific areas of the plan, none of which directly affect the City of Central Point. The County is currently addressing LCDC’s recommendations in a series of its own public meetings. Once the County plan is amended and each of the six cities adopts their version of the regional plan, all six plans will be forwarded to LCDC for their consideration and acknowledgment. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A: Notice of Public Hearing ACTION: None required. RECOMMENDATION: Consider materials distributed at the meeting, give attention to those areas to which you’re directed by planning staff and ask questions about the nature of the public hearing and review.
