There is a change from the Ordinance that was sent with the original agenda last week. The Wal -Mart property has been removed from the maps as discussed at the first reading of this ordinance. Attachment C of the Ordinance has three definitions in Chapter 17.08, these are intended to be additions to the chapter, they are not the only definitions for that chapter. There was discussion regarding the right to farm statements. These are intended for properties that are currently farming within County zoning regulations. Those properties will be allowed to continue the current use until annexed into the city limits. The right to farm provides protection and understanding to new construction within the city limits informing the new residents that there is farming around them and the rights that belong to those farmers to continue with that practice.

Public Hearing, First Reading — Ordinance Amending Sections 17.24.020 and 17.24.050 of the Central Point Municipal Code, R -2, Residential Two Family District to Add the Development Design Options of the TOD -LMR Zoning District Community Development Director Tom Humphrey stated that this is the first reading and public hearing for an ordinance allowing property owners to use the TOD design standards along with the current R -2 Standards. He provided an alternative title that will be on the ordinance at the second reading: An Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.24 of the Central Point Municipal Code by adding Subsections 17.27.020(k) and 17.24.050(h), Giving Discretion to Applicants to use Alternative Zoning Standards in the R -2, Two Family Zoning District. This title better clarifies what the Ordinance will do. There was discussion that approval of this change will cause the Twin Creeks TOD to lose its notoriety and that it could cause a hodgepodge of clusters throughout the city. It was explained that the TOD overlay will allow smaller developments to have more of a variety of designs standards to choose from. He explained a couple of proposed projects that will benefit from this change and past projects that could have been avoided with these options. Mayor Williams opened the public hearing, no one came forward and the public hearing was closed. Kelly Geiger made a motion to move to second reading an Ordinance Amending Sections 17.24.020 and 17.24.050 of the Central Point Municipal Code, R -2, Residential Two Family District to Add the Development Design Options of the TOD -LMR Zoning District.

Its history of human occupation goes back thousands of years, and the geological history reaches back almost 400 million years. The proposed district includes all Jackson County. Nearly 70 percent of Jackson County residents live in the 11 incorporated cities within the proposed district.. The Rogue Valley Heritage District will support programs of museums and heritage societies within the district on behalf of all district residents. Its affiliate organizations, including cities directly operating museums, will maintain heritage sites and structures and acquire and preserve historical objects and materials. The district will be established wider Chapter 358 of Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS 358.442- 358.474). If the petition drive is successful, the formation election will include a vote to approve a permanent tax rate limit of no more than $0.05 per $1,000 of assessed value. Analvsis of the Relationshins Between Services and Functions Economic and Soeial* In 1948 the citizens of Jackson County realized the need to preserve the history of the area and approved a permanent property tax levy enabling the preservation of the old Courthouse in Jacksonville. That launched wide public interest in history now fostered through 16 community and regional historical societies and museums. These groups preserve and arc responsible for over 3 million priceless artifacts and photos. They present public exhibits and collect research materials for use by the general public, scholars and students. They maintain records for historic community cemeteries, and in some cases physically care for those properties. They lease and own significant historical properties' promoting interest in our heritage. They sponsor local and regional education programs which enrich the local public and private school curricula. They operate two research libraries used by students, writers and the general public. The permanent tax levy vanished with passage of statewide ballot Measure 47 in November, 1996. In following years, Jackson County government reduced the amount of annual distribution and in April 2007, made its last grant to the historical societies and museums, forcing an increase in volunteer support and private fund raising. 'Among the most visible publicly -owned properties is the old courthouse in Jacksonville, which recently became property of the city of Jacksonville. The cities of Jacksonville , Talent and Eagle Point own historic properties used for museums. Southern Oregon Histoncal Society operates the Hanley Farm near Jacksonville. CAP041113 Page Despite this private volunteer effort, members of the Jackson County Heritage Association are struggling financially. Funds to protect historic resources — most of them publicly owned — have proven insufficient for the task. Educational programs are curtailed, and facilities that attract tourists and scholars are open fewer hours than they were prior to elimination of the levy. Members of the Jackson County Heritage Association have partnered with regional groups, including the Southern Oregon Visitors Association, that strengthen the region's economy by marketing the local area as a preferred destination for meetings, conventions and leisure travel. Data gathered in 2010 show visiting historical sites is the most popular activity for tourists coming to Southern Oregon (Douglas, Josephine. Jackson and Klamath counties), favored by 42 percent of the region's estimated 3.4 million annual visitors. Regional tourist spending was estimated at 5381 million. The local museums and heritage associations are a window to state and regional history for visitors and residents alike. Thus, not only do the societies preserve the region's history -- vital to our cultural needs — they also provide a direct economic benefit to the county and its communities. In the 2012 Oregon Travel Impacts research report which narrowed data down to Jackson County, it is estimated tourists, who stayed an average of 2.6 days in Southern Oregon, spent $294.3 million while visiting. Limited operational hours caused by declining budgets affect attendance. It is very possible that with museum operational hours shortened, visitors stay in the area fewer days, resulting in economic loss for the county and its communities. If every visitor stayed one more day, revenue would increase by 30 percent— a $133 million gain in local tourist spending. Visitor spending per day is currently figured at $62 per person -night including food, lodging and incidental purchases. For every additional $78,210 in visitor spending, one job is created in Jackson County. If only one- quarter of the county's present 1.8 million visitors stayed another night, that spending would support 362 more jobs in this community. Governmental In addition to generating tourist spending that boosts the local economy, the heritage associations are resources for the cities and county government. Their expertise helps local governments comply with Goal 5 of Oregon's Land Conservation and Development Commission. It requires local government programs "that will protect natural resources and conserve scenic, historic, and open space resources for present and future generations." Members of the Jackson County Heritage Association are Applegate Valley Historical Society, Ashland Historic Railroad Museum, Big Butte Historical Society, Eagle Point City Museum, Gold Hill Historical Society and Museum, Jacksonville Heritage Association, Lake Creek Historical Society, McKee Bridge Historical Society, Phoenix Historical Society, Rogue Valley Genealogical Society, Southern Oregon Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, Southern Oregon Historical Society, Talent Historical Society, Upper Rogue Historical Society, Woodville Museum, and Buncom Historical Society.

'AGE MATTERS ?ITAGE PAC Medford OR 97501 4s MG TO CREATE THrm ROGUE VALLEY HERITAGE DISTRICT Contact: Tam Moore 541 890 0992 email: ourheritagepac @gmail.com Briefing paper — Rogue Valley Heritage District Citizens of Jackson County, concerned about the loss of public funds for historic preservation and history related programs, are again working on formation of a county -wide Rogue Valley Heritage District. This new district is made possible by a 2007 amendment to Oregon's special district law, which is ORS 358.442 to ORS 358.474, Jackson County has a heritage of caring about history. In 1948, voters passed a dedicated levy that enabled preservation of the old county courthouse in Jacksonville and launched an interest in history that now is fostered through 15 community and regional historical societies and museums'. The resulting showcase of things historic makes Jackson County and its 11 cities a destination for tourists and scholars, architects and artists, and contributes significantly to the local economy. A political action committee, Our Heritage PAC, has been formed to coordinate the effort and accept contributions to defray costs of the campaign. The PAC address is 2 North Oakdale, Medford OR 97501. Dick Thierolf is treasurer. Tam Moore is chairman of the campaign executive committee. With a county wide property tax of 5 cents per thousand dollars of assessed valuation, we can raise about $805,000 a year to preserve our heritage. It is proposed that the district retain about $200,000 of each year's levy to launch a restoration and preservation fund. The remainder, less administrative expenses, would go to members of the Jackson County Heritage Association which will contract to use the funds for operation of their community- backed and regional programs. After much preliminary study and consultation, we have decided to seek formation through collection of signatures from registered voters. The consent of each city within the county will be sought to allow their citizens to participate in the district. If we are successful, the Board of County Commissioners will place the measure on the May, 2014 ballot. A prospective petition should be filed with the County Clerk by May, 2013 so petition circulation can begin. We will ask each of the cities in Jackson County to endorse formation of the Heritage District. Circulation of petitions will be led in their local communities by members of the Jackson County Heritage Association. 116M13 ' Members of the Jackson County Heritage Association are Applegate Valley Historical Society, Big Butte Historical Society, Camp White Historical Association and Museum, Eagle Point Museum (the mueum is part of city government), Gold Hill Historical Society and Museum, Lake Creek Historical Society, McKee Bridge Historical Society, Phoenix Historical Society, Rogue Valley Genealogical Society, Southern Oregon Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, Southern Oregon Historical Society, Talent Historical Society, Upper Rogue Historical Society, Woodville Museum, and Burnam Historical Society, Briefing V2.4 Feb 2013 CAP041113 Page 12 Petition to form the Rogue Valley Heritage District We the undersigned, registered voters residing within Jackson County, Oregon, petition the honorable JACKSON COUNTY Board of County Commissioners to initiate proceedings forformation of the Rogue Valley Heritage District.

Applicant: City of Central Point STAFF SOURCE: Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director BACKGROUND: On March 28, 2013 the City Council held a public hearing to consider an ordinance approving an amendment to Section 17.24, R -2, Residential Two - Family District of the Central Point Municipal Code (without changes) and approved by a unanimous vote to move the ordinance to a Second Reading. The proposed text addition would allow an applicant the choice of using the TOD -LMR standards of Section 17.65 or the existing R -2 standards. The choice affords site and design options that can be better suited to the neighborhood and the available market. The proposed choice will also provide existing R -2 lots and Padlots (§ 17.60.2 10) design and infill flexibility. This modification is complimentary to the policy direction of the use of mixed -use zoning as an alternative to conventional zoning.

Mayor Hank Williams ATTEST: City Recorder Return to Agenda Page 3 of 3 Ordinance No. (JJ_) CAP041113 Page 20 Resolution Annexation along Table Rock Road CAP041113 Page 21 City of Central Point, Oregon 140 S 3rd Street, Central Point, OR 97502 541.664.3321 Fax 541.664.6384 www.centralpointoregon.gov CENTRAL POINT STAFF REPORT April 11, 2013 Community Development Tom Humphrey, AICP Community Development Director AGENDA ITEM: FILE NO: 13007 Annexation and M -1 zoning for approximately 1.8 acres located at 4445 Table Rock Road and identified on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37 2W O I CA Tax Lot 200. Applicant: C.W. Tower Industries, LTD; Agent: Neathamer Surveying, Inc. STAFF SOURCE: Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director BACKGROUND: Blaze Signs has done business at this location for a number of years and is expected to remain in operation after annexation. In 2012 by Ordinance No. 1960, the property was given the M -1, Industrial city zoning and comprehensive plan designation. The Planning Department sent letters to adjacent property owners inviting their participation in this annexation. No requests have been received and none of the properties immediately adjacent to Blaze Signs were on record as having signed consent -to -annex agreements with the City. The subject property is adjacent to the city limits along the south and west property lines as illustrated by the site map in Attachment A. Currently the subject property is zoned by Jackson County as Light Industrial, designated M -1 Industrial in the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and when annexed, it will have comparable City zoning. A sign company is a permitted use in the M -1 zoning district. AUTHORITY: ORS 222.125 authorizes annexation of property contiguous to cities when all of the owners of land and majority of electors consent. CPMC 1.20 vests the City Council with the authority to order the annexation of unincorporated territory in the Urban Growth Boundary into the City of Central Point. This annexation is a `full consent annexation' since the property being annexed is owned by the C. W. Tower Industries and the owner has initiated and consented to the annexation. Annexation Criteria: I. Written Consents: The annexation application includes written consent to annex from 100% of the property owners and a majority of the electors within the annexation territory, who have signed the annexation petition, which is evidence of written consent CAP041113 Page 22 to annexation (Exhibit Q. Accordingly, pursuant to ORS 222.125 and CPMC 1.24.020, the City Council may order the annexation without notice, hearing or election. 2. Contiguous to City Limits: Pursuant to ORS 222.111, territory proposed for annexation must be contiguous to the City or separated from it only by a public right -of -way or a stream, lake or other body of water. The subject annexation area is contiguous to Central Point to the south and west. 3. Within Urban Growth Boundary (UGB): The annexation territory is within the Urban Growth Boundary of Central Point and is in compliance with the City- County Urban Growth Boundary and Policy Agreement of September 1984 and amended in 1998. 4. Orderly Provision of Public Facilities: The City- County Urban Growth Boundary and Policy Agreement requires that, in considering an annexation, urban facilities and services must be adequate in condition and capacity to accommodate the additional level of growth allowed by the Comprehensive Plan within the annexation area prior to or concurrent with the development. Public Works has reviewed the existing public facilities and their proximity to the annexation area and concluded that public facilities can be provided or extended to the site. Any future enhancements of these facilities made necessary by development of the annexation area will be the responsibility of the property owner and regulated through the City's land use application process. This will result in an orderly provision of public facilities to the annexation area. 5. Duly noticed and advertised notice of public hearing: Pursuant to ORS 222.120 notice of the April 11, 2013 hearing before the City Council was published twice on March 28, 2013 and April 4, 2013 in the Mail Tribune newspaper and notice was posted in four (4) public locations. In addition, on March 21, 2013 notice was mailed to each property owner of record within 100 feet of the proposed annexation.

By their signature hereto, the undersigned certify that they are either "owners" of land in the territory proposed to be annexed as described in Exhibit "A ", or are "electors" registered in the territory proposed to be annexed as described in Exhibit "A ". This petition, containing the request and consent to said annexation, must be filed with the Central Point City Council on or before the date of the public heating to be held upon the proposed annexation pursuant to ORS 222.120. "Owner" is defined by ORS 222.120 as meaning the legal owner of record or, where there is a recorded land contract which is in force, the purchaser thereunder. If there is multiple ownership in a parcel of land, each consenting owner shall be counted as a fraction of the same extent as the interest of the owner in the land bears in relation to the interest of the other owners, and the same fraction shall be applied to the parcel's land mass for purposes of the consent petition. If a corporation owns land in a territory proposed to be annexed, the corporation shall be considered to be the individual owner of that land. "Elector" is defined in said statute as an individual qualified to vote under Article B, Section 2 of the Oregon Constitution, which in turn requires that the individual be 18 years of age or older, a resident of the area in question, and registered to vote as required by applicable state law. Furthermore, ORS 222.270(2) requires that electors petitioning for annexation be registered in the territory proposed to be annexed. Name /Address Elector Or Property Owner? Signature Date C . Tower Industries, LTD Gary Brenneman, Vice President Property Owner / Annexation Petition Revised 9/26/06 CAP041113 Page 28 STAFF REPORT CENTRAL POINT yr agora Community Development Tom Humphrey, AICP Community Development Director STAFF REPORT April 11, 2013 ITEM: Update and discussion of the East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan. After analyzing the relative efficiency of two `Road Diet' scenarios (three and four lanes) for Pine Street in the Downtown, the City Council directed staff to conclude the project and to accept a four -lane design as the City's preferred alternative. The attached Executive Summary explains the preferred alternative. A final copy of the plan will be distributed at the meeting. STAFF SOURCE: Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director BACKGROUND: The Community Development Department has overseen the work of land use and transportation consultants who were hired and funded by the state to evaluate ways to make Central Point's Downtown more safe and attractive while preserving Pine Street's transportation function. There has been a lot of speculation in the past about whether a three -lane street would function as well as a four -lane street and that question has been answered as part of this Corridor Refinement Plan. The Streetscapc Design Alternatives allowed decision- makers to visualize what the changes could look like without actually making the improvements. An estimate of the cost associated with these improvements was also provided for discussion. DISCUSSION: Planning staff has concluded that the East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan and recommended improvements will not necessarily be a `silver bullet' to revitalize Central Point's Downtown. Street improvements will probably be a component of a larger plan that is tied to economic revitalization involving public investment in infrastructure, private investment in property, the right combination of businesses, more effective marketing, etc. The intention has been to use the outcome of this analysis to provide direction for the City's Urban Renewal efforts in the future. ISSUES: There is a limited right -of -way on Pine Street (80') within which to satisfy multiple and often competing obj ectives. Wider sidew alks are needed in order to meet minimum conditions for a Main Street design which is a combination of safety and amenities. Consequently, the Council elected to preserve a four lane street section but reduce travel lane widths. No parking would be eliminated except where it is called out in the plan for a bus stop, a Second Street Plaza and dedicated turn lanes on side streets. ATTACHMENTS: East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan dated January 2013 (Executive Summary) The entire document will be distributed at the meeting. ACTION: None required. RECOMMENDATION: Consider Executive Summary and the Plan distributed at the meeting, give attention to those areas to which you're directed by planning staff and ask questions about next steps. The Council will not be expected to make any decisions about the disposition of the document at this time. CAP041113 Page 29 Executive Summary The City of Central Point embarked on this corridor refinement plan to objectively evaluate multimodal performance of alternative design options and to develop consensus on a Preferred plan for East Pine Street that is consistent with the community's vision and policies. The East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan documents the project background, public involvement, technical analysis of altemative designs, and the final, preferred concept for East Pine Street. Preferred Alternative: Enhanced Four -Lane East Pine Street (1" Street to 6" Street) This street design alternative was widely supported by the public, local stakeholders, and decision makers. The design maintains four travel lanes but reduces their widths from 12 feet to 11 feet. The four feet gained from the travel lane reductions are used to widen the sidewalks by two feet each. Several improvements are recommended along with the widened sidewalks: Intersection bulb -outs at 3'a Street, 5th Street, and 6th Street to improve pedestrian visibility and crossing • Specially paved crosswalks at each intersection, using durable concrete materials rather than stamped concrete or thermoplastic treatments • Sidewalks reconstructed to a consistent fetish and pavement detail throughout, with a four -foot amenity zone for street trees and furniture = Ornamental street lights from 1" Street to G" Street, matching those already in place between Front Street and p` Street Painted sharrow markings in the outside travel lanes and bike racks located within intersection bulb -outs or the widened amenity zone The proposed cross section is illustrated below. Figure 1: Cross Section for Preferred Streetscape Alternative (Is( Street to 66 Street) Executive Summary OM CAP041113 Page 30 Other Recommended Improvements In addition to the streetscape improvements between 1" Street and 6° Street, the following improvements are also recommended as part of this plan. 6'" Street —10a' Street Sidewalk Improvements. For this segment, no reduction in the width of roadway lanes, or in the number of lanes, is assumed. Existing sidewalks could he widened to 10 feet or 12 feet in width by acquiring additional right- of-way or easements from property owncts with front yard setbacks between buildings and the current sidewalks. With wider sidewalks, street trees could be introduced into the streetscape. Enhanced Bus Bulb -Out on 6' and East Pine Street. The existing bus stop at 6th and Pine Streets should be improved by adding a street corner extended bulb -out approximately 30 -feet in length, a small shelter, and an ADA- compliant landing with the bulb -out and at the front door loading area. Smaller bulb -outs should be constructed at the other three comers of the intersection with specially paved crosswalks. ® Second Street Plaza. There was a strong consensus that a small pizza along Pine Street, adjacent to Rays Food Place, would he a very desirable amenity. The Plaza was designed into the public right -of -way to minimize the loss of on -street parking, and to retain all of the grocery store's parking. Landscaping, street furniture, art, and shade structures were all envisioned for the site. 4 Figure 2: Rendering of Recommended Second Street Plaza Executive Summary CAP041113 Page 31
