A RESOLUTION SCHEDULING A HEARING TO REVIEW THE PLANNING
COMMISSION'S DECISION ON THE APPLICATION POR THE PROPOSED RETAIL
PEAR BLOSSOM PLAZA (WAL-MART SUPERCENTER)
WHEREAS, the City of Central Point is reviewing an application for development of the
"Proposed Retail Pear Blossom Plaza" on property at the northwest confer of East Pine Street
and Hamrick Road within the City of Central Point; and
WHEREAS, the application was deemed complete on December 17, 2003, and under
ORS 227.178, the City has 120 days in which to reach a final decision, which period expires on
April 16, 2004, and the applicant has so far been unwilling to extend the 120 day period; and
WHEREAS, the City is currently undergoing a process to evaluate the East Pine Street
Corridor, which process will likely result in pertinent information that could affect the City's
decision on the Proposed Retail Pear Blossom Plaza application; and
WHEREAS the results of the East Pine Street Corridor evaluation were not available for
review by the Planning Commission until late March of 2004, resulting in the delay of Planning
Commission consideration of this matter; and
WHEREAS, the lack of availability of the East Pine Street Corridor information until late
March and the applicant's unwillingness to extend the 120 day deadline have presented the City
with difficulty in meeting its obligations under ORS 227.178 to make a decision within 120 days
of when the application is deemed complete; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that the traffic information regarding the East Pine
Street Corridor is important to the proper resolution of the application for development of the
Proposed Retail Pear Blossom Plaza and, therefore, every effort should be made to allow the
information to be considered by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, in order to meet notice requirements for a city council review of the
Planning Commission decision, the City Council must initiate this request for review of the
Planning Commission decision prior to it being rendered by the Planning Commission, and
WHEREAS, CPMC 1.24.080 allows the City Council to schedule any matter for review
on its own motion, and does not limit such a motion to decisions that have already been made.
