IV. PUBLIC APPEARANCES
Larry Martin, Taylor Road resident.
Mr. Martin wanted to let the Council know that the County Commissioners are
considering elimination of the $204,000 grant they provide to the Jackson Soil &
Water Conservation District. The district provides a service to the entire county
and will have difficulty staying open if the County does eliminate this grant. Mr.
Martin wanted to make the Council aware of the issues with the district because
it will affect several local businesses and the residents of Central Point. The
County is considering a surcharge to help outlying projects that they can no
longer support. If the district goes away it will have a huge impact on the fair
activities and cause further hardships for that event and reduce income for the
local businesses in Central Point. Mr. Martin asks that Community Development
Director Tom Humphrey address this issue with the Agricultural Task Force
where they can discuss future funding for the district.
SPECIAL PRESENATION — National Police Week Proclamation
Police Chief Kris Allison presented the National Police Week Proclamation to the

VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS, ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. Resolution No. 1360, Amending Resolution No. 1138 Providing for
Public Procedures and Guidelines for Naming Public Lands and
Facilities
Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore explained the changes to the
Procedures and Guidelines for Naming Public Lands and Facilities. The main
changes to the procedures are in regards to Sponsorships and benefactors in
regards to naming park amenities. These new guides will allow us to add a
donation plaque on the donated item.
Kelly Geiger made a motion to approve Resolution No. 1360, Amending
Resolution No. 1138 Providing for Public Procedures and Guidelines for
Naming Public Lands and Facilities. Rick Samuelson seconded. Roll call:
Mayor Williams, yes; Allen Broderick, yes; Kelly Geiger, yes; Ellie George, yes;
and Rick Samuelson, yes. Motion approved.
B. Resolution No. 1361, Amending the Financial Policy for the City of
Central Point
Finance Director Bev Adams explained during the recent budget meeting the
subject of proposed carryovers were discussed. Declining funds have made it
unreasonable for some funds to meet the carryover standards set forth in the City
Financial Policy. In 2009 when the policy was adopted the City had for many
years retained strong fund balances and a 20% carry over was nice to have. The
years of recession have caused the city to go below the carry over requirement
for two years.
Staff is recommending changing the Policy to state that the General Fund will
maintain a fund balance carryover of 15 to 25 percent of total revenues; not
including grant or loan monies, and that High Tech Crime Task Force Fund will
maintain a fund balance carryover of 5 to 10 percent of total annual revenues.
She stated that these are still very conservative numbers but she does not want
to have a policy with less than those percentages stated. The city is still in good
shape financially and staff is confident that we can meet those requirements.
Ellie George made a motion to approve Resolution No. 1361, Amending the
Financial Policy for the City of Central Point. Allen Broderick seconded. Roll
call: Mayor Williams, yes; Allen Broderick, yes; Kelly Geiger, yes; Ellie George,
yes; and Rick Samuelson, yes. Motion approved.

VIII. BUSINESS
A. Planning Commission Report
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey presented the Planning
Commission Report for May 7, 2013:
• Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Plan 2013 Economic Element Update
— Upon approval of the Regional Plan and the Inclusion of the Tolo Area as
an urban reserve, the Community Development Department was approached
by Combined Transport about expanding the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB)
to include additional industrial lands for truck- transport operations. A pre-
requisite to expanding the UGB is demonstrating a need for additional
industrial lands. The City's basis for determining industrial land needs is
found in the Economic Element, which was originally approved in 1984 and
now outdated. The Commission considered both the element and the goals
and policies in a public hearing. No one testified either for or against the
amendment and the commission recommended approval of some minor
revisions.
• Discussion of Central Point/Jackson County Urban Growth Boundary and
Policy Agreement — A condition that must be satisfied in order to expand the
City's UGB is the inclusion of Forest/Gibbon Acres in an Area of Mutual
Planning Concern. The City and Jackson County currently use this
terminology in an urban growth management agreement that was created in
1984 and amended in 1998. City staff believes that it is more expedient to
amend the existing agreement and add Forest/Gibbon Acres to it. Given the
direction that thing are going at the EXPO, staff believes that Jackson County
properties once considered in the Urban Reserve Area could be added as a
third area of Mutual Planning Concern. The Commission agreed and directed
staff to collaborate with the County, refine the agreement and exhibits and
initiate the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process with DLCD.
There was discussion regarding Forest/Gibbon Acres and the need to add the
area to an Area of Mutual Planning Concern Agreement. These agreements
must be in place before we can apply to expand the UGB. There was discussion
of how to provide city services to the Tolo area once the UGB is expanded. It will
be some time before we would have the funds to provide some services that far
out of the City core.
B. 332 North Second Street Update
Mr. Samitore explained that the property at 332 North Second Street is
scheduled to go before the municipal judge on May 22, 2013. This court date has
been set to review the City's request to have the house demolished. The owners
have listed the property with Karen Larsen from Windermere Van Vleet.

Page 4
Mrs. Larsen informed the Council that she has already had several offers on the
property and is convinced it will sell quickly. She is under the impression that any
buyer would be purchasing the property and would demolish the house to get
better use out of the property.
Staff recommends removing the property from the court docket and in order to
allow Mrs. Larson time to complete the sale. Council asked that any potential
buyer be aware of the state of the house and the concerns the Council has in
regards to getting rid of the derelict structure. If the court date is cancelled the
Council will expect to see improvement to the property in a short amount of time
or they will revisit this issue and continue with the demolition request to the
Municipal Judge.
Allen Broderick made a motion to rescind Resolution No. 1350, and
removing the property from the court docket for May 22, 2013. Kelly Geiger
seconded. Roll call: Mayor Williams, yes; Allen Broderick, yes; Kelly Geiger, yes;
Ellie George, yes; and Rick Samuelson, yes. Motion approved.
C. Bamboo Ordinance Discussion
Mr. Samitore explained the request from a citizen to look at regulations in
regards to growing of bamboo. He concern is with one specific type of running
bamboo. It is hard to control the spread of and is hard to kill once it is
established. He presented a draft ordinance that would regulate the planting of
running bamboo.
There was discussion that Council doesn't want to start regulating what people
can and cannot plant, but there should be regulations that when you plant
something on your property it cannot invade surrounding property. This
Ordinance could list several types of plants that would be considered invasive to
some.
Staff has been working on updating the Tree Guidelines, a document that has
recommended trees for the city of Central Point. This document lists trees that
are not allowed within the city right of ways. Staff could research and add shrubs
that could be invasive rather than creating an ordinance that would limit what
people can plant on their private property.
Council agreed to wait on the ordinance and will review the Tree and Shrub
Guidelines when complete this summer.

POINT
May 24, 2013
TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM
Matt Samitore, Parks & Public Works Director
SUJECT:
Amendments to the by -laws of the Central Point Parks Foundation
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the resolution is for the Council to review language amending the by -laws for the
Central Point Parks Foundation.
SUMMARY:
Staff is asking the Council to approve new bylaws for the Foundation. The new bylaws will help
the Foundation stay in compliance with its own rules and help it keep its non - profit status.
Currently, anyone looking at the Foundation could easily believe that the Foundation exists only
to funnel money for City Projects, as the bylaws require that all decision voted on by the
Foundation to then be approved by Council. The Foundation is meant to be its own entity.
Below is an overview of the changes suggested to the bylaws:
Allow the Foundation's decision to be effective immediately without having to get Council
approval. This will allow the Foundation to vote in new members and make decisions
that are necessary to allow the Foundation to function.
As the Foundation bylaws are currently written, the Foundation has been out of
compliance with its own rules regarding the number of board members and number of
meetings per year. It is suggested to reduce the minimum number of board members to
4 (law requires min. of 3 members) and a minimum number of meetings to 3 per
year. Of course the Foundation should strive to exceed these numbers, but meeting
them should be the first goal.
Eliminate the "City - Council Liaison" and instead allow a council person to join the
Foundation board as a voting member. As a Liaison, the Council Member can only give
input and suggestions, whereas a voting member would be a valuable addition to the
Foundation by helping the board meet its quorum and have a voting voice in all
decisions for the best interest to the City.
CAP061313 Pg. 20
Council may be worried about the Foundation spending money on whatever it chooses,
however any money put into the Foundation by the City can be allocated for a specific cause.
The purpose of the Foundation will remain to "acquire assets through grants, donations and
fund - raising, to be used to improve public parks and for recreational purposes, as well as the
general well -being of all citizens, within the City of Central Point." All capital projects on City
Property, or on property that would be donated to the City for maintenance, would still need to

STAFF REPORT

AGENDA ITEM: Municipal Court Consolidation — Intergovernmental Agreement with
Jackson County
Consideration of Resolution No. Recommending: (1) adoption of an Inter-
governmental agreement between the City of Central Point and Jackson County. (2) Appointment
of Jackson County Justice of the Peace, Joe Charter, as the City of Central Point Municipal Judge.
The Agreement is on file with the City Recorder and has been reviewed by both City and County
legal counsel. Prior to City Council approval, the Jackson County Board of Commissioners will
consider final approval of the intergovernmental agreement.
STAFF SOURCE:
Chris Clayton, City Manager
BACKGROUND /SYNOPSIS:
The recent request for proposals (RFP) for a new Municipal Court Judge has resulted in an
opportunity for the City to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with Jackson County to
provide court services to the City at a substantial cost savings.
The City's Municipal Court handles traffic citations, code violations, etc. Citations involving
Minors in Possession of Alcohol, Possession of Less than an Ounce of Marijuana, traffic citations
issued outside the City limits and, in the past, Minors in Possession of Tobacco, have been
processed through the Jackson County Justice Court, which is located just two blocks to the East of
City Hall in Central Point. The close proximity of the Justice Court, the existing judicial
relationship between the two entities, and the pending retirement of the City's Municipal Court
Clerk combine to provide this timely and positive opportunity for the City.
If the City enters into an agreement with the County to provide Municipal Court services, the
Municipal Court Clerk position can be left unfilled when the clerk retires at the end of 2013,
resulting in considerable cost savings. Other cost savings, including reduced police overtime costs,
are projected due to the Justice Court's schedule.
The cost benefits alone make this arrangement very compelling, however, the arrangement
maintains convenient court services for our citizens and also fulfills the City's Charter mandate to
provide for court services, provided the Council appoints Jackson County Justice of the Peace Joe
Charter to serve as the City's Municipal Court Judge.
CAP061313 Pg. 30
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed IGA obligates Jackson County Justice Court to provide all necessary judicial services
on behalf of the City of Central Point. The agreement compensates Jackson County at a rate of
50% of all collected fines and forfeited bail funds. Because the City will no longer have the
personnel costs associated with a full time Municipal Court Clerk or Municipal Judge, this
arrangement will result in substantial savings to the City of Central Point.
ATTACHMENTS:
I. Resolution adopting an inter - governmental agreement regarding the consolidation of
Jackson County Justice Court and Central Point Municipal Court.
2. Inter - governmental agreement between the City of Central Point and Jackson County.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution No. (I)Adopting an inter - governmental agreement between the
City of Central Point and Jackson County. (2) Appointing Jackson County Justice of the Peace, Joe
Charter, as the City of Central Point Municipal Judge.

expanding the UGB. Based on the updated Economic Element the City has a need over the 20 -year
planning period for an additional 51.5 acres to be added to the Urban Growth Boundary.

City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
1 INTRODUCTION
The Comprehensive Plan Economic Elememt estabbshes the City of Central Point's land use politics For
cconomic development and contains both quentitativc and qualtativc mahsis that can inform and
benefit othcr aspccts of the C ors crooning, development strat_ge and programming. As a land use
planning documcnt, the Economic Element is constructed to comply with Statewide Planning Goal 9 and
its implementing admirvstratiyc rule at OAR 660 DiNision 0091. The purpose of Goal 9 and its
implementing rule is to assure that cities will hayc adequate supplics of land For economic development
that support identified employment opportunities within the Cin-.
The Economic Elcmcnt includes both quahtative and quantitative components. The quarttitative analysis
in the Economic Elcmcnt serves several Functions:
Characterizes mcmds
Describes economics rclationslups
Illuminates areas of existing cconomic strengths
Forecasts Future cconomic conditions
Estimates Future employment land demand and site occds
Estimates misting land supply and available sites within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB)
Rccomciles land demand with ecisting land supplics and identifies the recd for sites in relation to
the supply of available sites within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB)
The quahtative components- of the Economic Elemeut describe the Cio's economy in a more intuitrvc
and anecdotal manner. The quahtative aspects- of the Economic Elcmcnt represent opporturmes- For the
Cio's land use planning to reflcct anal implement strat_gic and policy obicctiycs for cconomic
d,clopmcnt that arc desired by the City of Ccutral Point. The quahtativc uomponcut is also important
for complimce with Goal 9's implementing rule because it requires- an identification of comparative
advantages- and requires- an ar is of site requiremeuts-. Comparative advantages- arc opportunities- for
the Cite of Ccri Point to outperform overall regional and national cconomic trevds- duc to unique and
special quahtics - that differentiate and distinguish the Cin of Central Point. The site requirements- mah sis-
describes- quahtative attributes- (such as-visibihn or acccss) that firms- demand when selecting sites- for
new cconomic cntcrpd scs.
Eltimatch, Future cconomic conditions- arc not emtirch predictable. However, s-trategicalh planning the
Cio's land base to accommodate expected future nccds and integrating the City's land use planning
efforts- with broader cconomic development stratcgn and programming, has the poteadal to benefit
cconomic dcvclopmcut conditions- within the Cite.
2 CENTRAL POINT ECONOMIC HISTORY
The more detailed quahtative mak sis- is prescri in s-ubsequcnt sections- of the Economic Flemco t and
is appropriately indnrmed by a brief qualitative survey the City's Economic History. Ccri Point began

locatcd upon and near sxome of Jackson County's best ago cultural soils- and was well locatcd to serve the
needs- of surrounding farming operations- and this-was the City's primary cumomic position hefore the
mid-1960's. The Cin of Central Point was wcll situated to provide a range of emnomuc interaction with
the nearbc farm community during tlus- period. The Cin- provided a location for schools- for childreq
shops- that s-uppbcd basic goods- and scr,socs such as-groceries- and restaurants-. The Cin was home to the
Grange Co -op where the grain elevator was and still is locatcd and provided farmers- with needed
agricultural supphcs-. The Cin was home to farm equipmcut sales- and repair shops- and similar retail farm
services.
Starting in the 1960's- and s-trengthenivg in the 1970's, the Cite of Ccutral Point gm v into a bedroom
communitc as a result of rapid residential development and a deficienec of commercial and industrial
development that might have provided more jobs- for the residents-. The forest products- indus-trc in the
region continued to grow during the period and residents- of Ccutral Point were well locatcd for
employment in the timher indusm, being near to mills- locatcd in nearbc north Medford and in A8'hite
Cite. This condition created a rcladec imhalancc with Ccutral Point supphing a greater proportion of
housing in relation to cmplormcnt within theeallec.
In 1980, the Cin of Central Point adopted its fiat Economic F Iemeut that has herewith been replaced be
this Economic Element. The U.S. eumorm has undergone four full economic eccic since the Cin of
Central Point's last econouuc clement over thirty ycars ago. The 1950 Economic Element sought to
diecrsify the City's economy and reduce the degree of imbalance henvecn emplcorzment and housing
...thin the Citc. Central Point has been successful to some extent over the last thine Dears in its efforts to
diversify- its eumom,. The Cin has expedeuced retail and industrial growth in and around Fzit 33 on
Interstate 5. Prooldcuce Hospital recently added a medical facibn- on Highway 99 south of Pine Strcct.
A small spcdaln foods cla to has developed along Highway 99 north of Pinc Strcct that include R oguc
Creamer,; Lillie Belle Farms chouilatc and a wine tasting room. The Rogue Vallee Council of
Governments has its main office building near downtown Ccutral Point. Additional retail has been
added near frecyva, interchanges and along Pinc Strcct and Highway 99. Thee emplooca and others
have served (and an overarching objective of this Economic Element is) to umtinuc to add more balance
and divcrsit�� to the City's employment hase.
3 NATIONAL, STATE AND REGIONAL ECONOMIC TRENDS
To prof de the necessary uontcer for the adoption of updated cumomic development pohcic and
strategic in the City's Comprehensive Plan, a review of national, state and regional trends is appropriate.
This revicov informs the qualuanic apects of the Economic Elemeut by prnsding a foundation to
dcnibe the City's comparative advantages. Also, the State of Oregon parvidc a ten -year regional
employment forecast which provide a sound and generally accepted reference forecast from which to
project locahacd cuonomicgrowth For the City of Central Point.
3.1 National Trends
The national economy oecr the last five years has undergone the worst period since IX\ odd IX\ ar 11 from a
GDP perspective. This period was preceded by an cumomic expansion in the early 1990's, and with the
exception of a modct downturn in 2000 to 2001, continued through 2006. Figure 3.1 -1 depicts the
percent changed in GDP quarter over quarter from fourth quarter 2000 through third quarter 2012. Fivc

out of six quarters- from fourth quarter 2007 to first quarter 2009 experienced negadec GDP and during
second quarter 2008 through fourth quarter 2008 the contraction aecraged around IS% per quarter

Reserve supporting mcord low interest rates-. In the post V\ 11 era, most recoveries have been driven by
strengthening residential real estate and Iah or markets-. While the real estate market is heginning to

Figure 331? departs the rapid increase in unemployment as apart of the recession. UnemplomentI eels
have peaked and are beginning to decline. Some of the decline is due t1 decreased participation in the
lalxx force by the long -term unemployed. Figure 3.1 -2 depicts- the strong relationship beveen
unemployment and educational attainment. Those without a Ltigh school diploma have experienced
unemployment rates that arc nearly hviee the national average and nearly four times- that of individuals -
with a uillci,, education. However, the rate of unemployment has been declining at a faster pace over
the last hvo years for those without a Ltigh school diploma than for those with a college education.
Overall, unemployment rates remain at nearly hvie, the pre - recession levels.
The Federal Rccn•c's nvo main objccdm are to have health, labor market and stable prices. In an
effort to address- unemployment levels-, the Federal Reserve has been aggss-ive in its monetary policy.
This agisess-ive monetary polity has the potential to expand the economy and reduce unemployment but
necessarily induce inflation risk. These monetan measures- are depicted below i n Fiinire 3.1 -3.

Figure 3.1 -3 depicts the consumer price index— urban (CPI-C) and uses money supply (_Al2 — the most
commonly used measure of money supply) and the graph shows how these measures have varied over
time The nvo measures depict an inverse relationship up until the early 2000's. Since that time, the nvo
measures have varied brinth. Overall, itis somwhat remarkable that inflation over the last several wars
has not been higher given the dramatic expar iov of the money supply. In December 2012 the Federal
Reserve announced its intention to I m an additional $45 billion per month in treasuries for an extended
period while simultancemsly purchasing S40 billon per month in mortgage backed securities. Both of
these measures vdll expand the Federal Resen•e's balance sheet and expand the money supply.
Continued economic weakvess and en,M prides that have destlned recently have kept inflation rclam ei)
stable.
This raises the question: IX\ here is all the money going and why is an expanded money supply not causing
inflation? Macro economies are uere5sarily demand driven. Thus in simple cremomi terms, expanded
moue)- supply- map increase demand marpoally but is not likdp to do so in proportion to the amount of
movey supply expansion that has occurred on a national scale. So, the monetary po9ey should be causing
a price adjustment also known as inflation. I Iowover, it is not. Figure 1. 1-4 depicts the current account
for the Unites States core the fourth quarter of 1980 and explains in no small part the answer to this
phenomenon.

The current amount is primarily- exports minus imports during, the period mportcd? Up until 1998, the
US geacrally ran rchi elw small current account deficits and had the occasional surplus. Since 1998, the
current account deficits Ina, become much larger. This trend is caused by large -scale trade imbalances
that have stmcturally impaired the U.S. economy. The recession actually had a positive effect on current
account balaeee trends for a brief period, but the trend has again mversed over the last several years.
Recently tine C.S. has cxpericaced expanded domestic energy production and this increase in supply has
resulted in decreasing energy costs. The expanded energy supply has primarily resulted from advanced
modem natural gas drilling techniques and medium term projections indicate this trend is likely to
continue. Reduced energy costs from expanded domestic c rcrgy production have the potential of direct
and indirect impacts on the current account. Morc domestic energy production will reduce demand for
foreign energy (such as oil from the Middle East) and this will have a direct positi, impact on the
current account. Reduced c rego priors reduce the cost of production resulting in lowered delivered
priors and the potential to expand C.S. exports. Cltimatck, at the local Icvel, there is not much that can
be done about C.S. trade imbalances and tine current account but local economics certainly can and do
experience the repercussions of these national conditions.
In addition to considering the above national economic measures, it's useful to consider the financial
position of U.S. households when discussing trends. Most economic growth results from some

Oregon continues to be a leader in fornsm- and agriculture. IX\ hile the Oregon economy is much more
diverse than it as thirty years ago, &rzctry and agriculture still exhibit employment that is concentrated
at mar- times the national average.
In addition to forestry and agriculture (and related industries) the sour. inchmy strengths in 0mg on can
be explained for many of the 3-digit NAICS classifications. Computer and electronic product
manufacturing is certainly dues in no small part to the presence of Intel and Tektronix in the Portland
area. Priman' metal manufacturing is concentrated as a result of the continued operation of Oregon's -
aluminum industry. Non -st rc retailers such as Harry and Daeid contribute to the strength in that
industry sector. Beverage manufacturing is likely explained from the strong and growing wine and craft
beer industries in Oregon.
Other sectors arc more difficult to explain. for example, the strength in membership organizations and
associations is not explained by any reason intrinsic to gcoisaphic region as to why this ini sector

would benefit flow being located in Orcg m. It is also not explained by the presence of any one large
dominant membership association that happens to be located in Orcgm. Similarly, the publishing
industry sector is one where there is no obvious large company that omnibutes to the concentration of
those indusnics nor is there any large intrinsic geographic benefit from operating that npe of ini in
Oregon versus somewhere else. Orcg ox's attraction, wham not otharvrise explainable, is sometimes
attributed to its qualin� oflife that influences those who make decisions on where certain firms will locate.

Table 3.2-2 depicts those industries- where Oregon has low relative concentrations. Scecral of the
industries- in which Oregon has low concentrations- of employment are unsurprising. Chemical
manufacturing and plastics- and rubber manufacturing am unsurprising because these industries- tend to
cluster around pctrolcum and natural gas- production centers- with access to major international ports-; no
such arrangement exists in Oregon. Portland International Airport is the State's largest airport but is not
a major hub for ant of the national carriers- or air freight handlers-, therefore air transportation would not
be expected to be a strong indus-tn' in Oregon. Oregon does- not produce significant amounts- of cotton
nor is it proximate to smthede fabric resources that are petroleum based and, therefore, it is-not expected
that Oregon would be strong in those industry sectors.
Them is one indus-tn' sector in which Oregon has a low concentration that is problematic but mat' also
represent a significant opportunity for the State. This sector is Securities-, commoclite contracts-,
investments. Certain major metropolitan areas- such as New York Cite, Chicago, Los- Angeles-, San
Francisco, Atlanta and Houston already have high concentrations- in these sectors- and some of their

comparative adyantagges- would be expected to endure from the existing concentrations- of intellectual
capital and infrastructure. However, the digital world has reduced or eliminated mam barriers- to
operation of these open of industries- in smaller metropolitan areas-. For example, well -known Berks-hire-
I- lathawa,. is based in Omaha, Nebraska kith a population of less- than bald a million people. It is-
unknown whether this weakness- will eyentualh become a sector of strength in Oregon, but it is worth
recognizing industry sectors that are relatiNch sparse in Oregon but which represent ao area for potential
growth.
In addition to specific industry strengths, Oregon's generally fairs well when its relative economic
position is compared to other states. Table 3.2 -3 depicts Oregon's national ranking across- a range of

From an educational attainment perspectnc, Oregon ranks 1811, of the 50 states', for residents with at
least a bachelor's degree. Figure 3.1 2 ahoyc depicts tine strong relationship bchveco unemployment and
eollegedeggree mnuument and therefore Oregon's respectable ranking in this area hones well from a lahor
market fundamentals perspectiyc. The median household income is ranked 21" which is also respectable
and arguably ideal; hung near the top of median income is not necessarily ideal because it can cause
localmcd inflation that can result in disproportionate impacts on households on the lower ends of the
income spectrum. Similarly, Oregon is gn•en a ranking of 2011, by Site lelectioiu magazine, a periodical
targeted at those in the industrial, large office space, and campus dcyclopment pattem real estate markets.
There arc other arras where Oregon ranks high. Oregon is tied with North Carolina as the states with
the lowest oycrall state and local tax rates on businesses, State of Oregon tax revenues rely hcayily on the
personal income tax. Local property taxes arc limited by Measure 50 which covers all real estate open

including commerdal and industrial. In combination, this structure results in low oycrall business taxes
in Oregon.
Business formation has historically prnided the greatest Potential for job creation. Oregon has risen
from the bottom 20`9" of states to number 5 in the entrepreneurship index published by the University of
Nebraska. Entrepreneurship creates new businesses and nev businesses produce new jobs. The rise in
Oregon's ranking on this index is arguably the single most crcourprog signal for improvement in the
Oregon ecmomv.
3.2.2 Statewide Economic Development
There arc numlxr of efforts at the statewide Icvcl that arc directed at cc momm development in Oregon.
Some of these arc the result of direct State of Oregon investments. The State of Oregon has expended
significant resources and placed policy emphasis on education, innovation to support knowledge -based
economic growth, and infrastruct rc. Example investments that arc likely to affect Oregon's cc mmig
over the next [went- ycars include
• Oregon Nanoscienee and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI): ONAbtl's collection of
laboratories and researchers include the Ixxn- 1. Lokcy Narotcchrology laboratories in Eugene,
an irtematiorallt- recognized facility with more than 20 advanced materials characterization and
nanofabrication instruments, micro -level manufacturing and engineering research at the
bticroproducts Breakthrough Institute in Corvallis; and the Center for E,Icctror Microscopy and
Nanofabricadon in Portland.
• Oregon Built Environment and Sustainable Technologies Center (BEST): Oregon BPST
connects the state's building industry to its shared network of undversit labs at Portland State
Eriver,m, the Oregon Institute of Techrolog, (in gon State I niver,m and the I ca,cr,m of
Oregon.
• Oregon Translational Research and Ding Development Institute (OTRADI): OTRADI
has unique "high throughput" facilities at Portland State I riversm that provide undversm
researchers and small biotech companies with access to cutting edge drug discover[ equipment
and expertise, speeding up research and allowing companies to compete in the biotech sector.
• Connect Oregon: Connect Oregon has now completed is fourth round of infrastructure
project funding and most of the Connect Oregon 111 projects arc complete or rearing
completion. Connect Oregon is a grant program that supports transportation infrastructure
imcst rects that serve dual purposes to support internodal transportation connections that arc
expected to result in additional direct cumomic development This program has supported
airports, rail transportation and marine port infrastructure throughout the State. The Port of
Portland and Port of Coos Bat' have berefitted especially from the program as these two ports
am Oregon's gateways to world markets for goods too heavy to ship by air.
• Oregon Learns: 40 -40-20 Plan: Oregon, like all states, invests hcavik in education. Erom an
economic devclopment perspective, education investments arc ultimatck workforce
development. Oregon has set a goal to have 40 percent of its population a+ith at least a college
Page 14 of 51
CAP061313 Pg. 51
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
degree, 40 percent of its Population to have at Icastan associate degree /technical certificat_ and
20 percent with a high school diploma. This is an apgessive target and mould require roughka
doubling of higher education through -put and high school drop -out elimination. Even
significant progress toward this goal mould result in a markedly more capable workforce and one
that mould result in a more productive workforce.
Business Energy Tax Credit (BETC): The business cccnin tax credit s1 st_m resulted in man,
large investrnents in renewable eneng over the last ten ,cars. At the present time, these tax
credit opportunities have been markedly pared back, howcvcr much of the infrastructure built
over the last ten ,cars will common, to supply energn and jobs for support and on -going
maintenance.
In addition to direct state investments, there arc other entities and efforts that have the poteudal to affect
economic conditions in Oregon. The most promineut of these is Oregon Hcalth and Scicnce t mversio..
Healthcare is an expanding industry in the t cit_d States and healthcare training and research arc
important to mooring future demand OHSL creates opportunities for Oregon to maintain a competitive
position in this sector on a mponal and national keel.
Other ecmomic development activities in Oregon have centred on entrepreneurship. fusiness
formation is one of the best pot_rual sources of job and wealth creation. Howcvcr, business formation
is a high risk Promie. Entities such as the Oregon Entrepreneurs Nchvork and Oregon Angel Fund have
formed to address the capital and knowledge nerds of entrepreneurs and small fast- growing companies.
Creating a cultural environment to support new business creation and the growth of innovative
companies can reduce risk and increase successful outcomes.
3.3 Economic Outlook and Implications for Central Point
It's challengnog to summarize the broad national and state ccmomic trends and turn distill them down in
a manner that provides meaningful gnadance at the local Icvcl for a community such as Central Point.
This general truth is made more acute by current conditions in the national economy which has relatively
cxtreme positive and negative forces at work. The strong positive forces include near record low interest
rates, a large and young population that will be ent_ring the workforce and which is rclativclv wcll
educated, significant available production capaci4} redrawn energy pnces, available capacity in the labor
market, and an improving real estate sector. Strong negative forces include largo, trade imbalances, a
Federal Reserve balance sheet that is groyving at an unprecedented rate, largo, Federal budget deficits that
must confront increasing entitlement costs against a backdrop of political stalemate, health care cost
increases that thrcat_n the broader ccmomv; and immigration policy and management that has caused
large -scale labor market distortions.
At a state Icvcl, the ecmomic drivers and ccmomic dnvclopmevt activities tvd to be Portland centric
and rclated to the V illamette Valli- more broadly. The irony is that the local economy tends to be
influenced as much by the California ecmomv as it is by the economic activm in Portland specifically
and the overall Oregon economy more generally. The California economy is so diversified and
represents such a largo, share of the national economy that the condition of the California economy tends
to vary rclativclv directly yvith the condition of the national economy and the improving real estat_
market in Calfomia should support some economic recovery there.

CAP061313 Pg. 52
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
The Cit- of Central Point has no direct r mtrol and mladech- 8tde influence on the trajectory of the
national and west -c oast economics. Given the extreme forces at work at the national Icvcl, predicmg
future cumomic c nditons invokes high levels of uncertainty. Thus, for local land use planning,
purposes, the prudent approach is to plan for cumomic growth that would be expected to accrue
through modest cumomic improvement from current c nditons and that improvement is most likely to
come through a combination of proportional sharing, of imprrned national conditions as well as specific
growth in industries for which Central Point is well positioned. This can and should include
identification of targeted opportunities for growth specific to Critical Point and the same is required be
the Goal 9 rule.
3.4 Regional and Local Trends
This section focuses on Jackson Count- and Critical Point cc momic conditions and trends. M orc
locabcd anah3is prortides gmatcr insight into local economic dmamics and illuminates cumomic
opporcurtics. The anah3is rcbcs upon information from a number of sources including the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS), the Burcau of E,conomm Analysis (BEd), Oregon Labor Market Information
System (OLMIS), and the Census Burcau.
Generally, the employment and business data presented in the Economic P;Icment hercin is based on the
County geography. Detailed emploomocet and business data for the City proper can he obtained using
the hS-202 data set from the Oregon Employment Department However, this data set is confidential
and disclosure of the data is restricted. This is not a problem in larger cities where more businesses arc
present so that most of the major trends can still be anahzed kyithout creating c nfidentiatc conflicts.
However, in smaller communities a "small oumbca problem" arise that limits the quantitative value of
the data. These data restrictions can further impair the qualitative component of the Economic Element.
This can cause results where data limitations restrict qualitative anal,is and evaluation of economic
dmamics that arc well known in the community. Consider a small high growth company in a small town
that is the only major employer in that sector, like the dairc products manufacturing sector for ecample.
This small, but i cn interesting compam is likely to have their emplorrnent data t]agjred as c nfidential in
the ES -202 reporting. This creates a paradox where the mason for wanting to analac that company on a
qualita nc lcycl is because of its employment growth but maintenance of the required confidcomilit-
precludes this discussion.. To avoid this paradox, the quantitative components of the emplolment and
business data rO on count- -level data and the more specific community analysis is based upon known
business preseece in the planning area.
3.4.1 Demographics
E,c nomics and demographics arc interrelated phenomeea. The causal relationships between the two
pheeomena is a source of vigorous academic debate, but for purposes of land use planning, all that must
be understood is that demographics and economics vary directly, i.c. population increases, employment
increases.
Demographics represent two components of the economy— the labor force on the production side and
households on the consumption side. Aggregate consumption varies directly with the number of
households and their associated populations. Central Point's prior Economic Elcmcut charactcriz,
Central Point as a "bedroom community" in making obscn•ations that there is a rclativcic small amount
of emplm meet and commercial retail services actually located in Central Point in proportion to the Cit's

population. f {a%'Ing balanct, boilbecra co mm¢CJal retail and population Is espccialll Important from a
local goecmance perspective in Oregon. Commercial lands tend to demand rclatinclt fe%v municipal
sev%•ices but have the highest land valuations and therefore product, the highest levels of general fund
revenue through propert9 ta_ces for a City. Residential populations demand considerable municipal
sev%•ices but produce comparativcla less in property ta_ces.
Demographic relationships to the cumomv arc highly localized Cnderstanding local demographics
provides excellent insights into localized cumomic forces. The Census Bureau provides detailed
information on local demographics.

Overall, the educational attainmecit of Cchtral Point residecit, compare Gi,rably with Jackson Coun4-.
IIo,,cr, neither the City- of Cchtral Point nor Jackson County compares favorably with Oregon as a
whole. for working people aged 25 -64, Oregon has approximatch ten percent mom reidecits with a
bachelor's degree or higher when compared to both Jackson County and Central Point_ Most of this
differential is not the result of high school diplomacc; the rate of high school diplomacc is cssenoallc the
same for people aged 25 -64 for Oregov, Jackson Count- and Central Point.
The CCVtal Point data doe depict a cause for concem in the population aged 18 -24. The rate of the
population with Iron than a high school diploma is a full ten percent Iron than for Oegon and is five
percent Iron than for Jackson Camnw. A difference of 10 percent is essentially 146 morn young adult,
without a high school education. CnempImmecit rate tend to he almost twice as high for those without
a high school diploma so this data may signal some cicw social challenge for the City that am not preccit
in the Cites current Population, such as inercased crime and /or demands for social assistance.
Because mtail commercial husinc,se sell good to households, the cinch for retail commercial generally
varies with population growth. Thus, it is masonahle and appropriate from hoth a municipal sentce
standpoint and a Goal 9 standpoint to plan for retail commercial lands in relation to projected population
growth. The planned population growth for Central Point is governed byJaekson County's coordinated
population forecast as contained in the Jackson County Comprehensive Plan. The Jackson Count'
Comprchecisive Plan fomcast, that Cecitral Point will have a population of 27,410 people by 2033 which
equates to a 2.05 percent annual average growth rate from 2013 to 2033.

3.4.2 Wages and Employment
Households have three soume of income wage, investments, and transfer pafinents. For most
working-agc households, wage arc the source of the vast ra iq- of income. Household income is
returned to the ec nomv in the form of household consumption, taxes and investments. Thus, wages
and employment havesigrtiihcantimp8canons for any cumorm.

Figure 141 depicts average pay in Jackson County in absolute dollars and the overall level of
employment Employment levels dmppecl dramatically as a result of the recession in 2008. This
differential translates into approsimateiy 5325 million less wages circulating in the Jackson County
ecmomv eurrendv than was circulating in 2007. In rough numbers, this means the crsmomv off aekson
County is about 10 percent smaller in absolute dollars currently than it was in 2007.
However, for those who have remained employed during the recession, absolute wages have increased at
the same pace and were not interrupted by the recession at all. Some of this trend may be the result of
changes in productivity. For example, the same workers may be doing more work for only marginally
more compensation. Ipso, new technology implementation may have increased productivity such that
average compensation has been able to rise without the need to hire additional workers. Inflation has
been held in check during this period and thus it would appear that average compensation increases have
kept pace with inflation during the period.
The Census collects detailed data on employment during the decennial census. This data provides
insights into industries in which the residents of Central Point are emploced and the relative
compensation across industries. The Census data reports the residents' emplm ment data and is not a
escrows of businesses and employment within Central Point itself. However, matching regionalk strong
industries with the existing residents employment characteristics is an logical economic development
strategk.

the transportation indushrc because California doe not allow triple trailers and Oregon doe. This
require loads to be rchuff1cd in Jackson County. Also, mant't'cars ago a company called Attawat gmw
into a rclatiecly large truck brokerage in Medford. Ultimately, the enterprise failed but not by reason of
an unsound business model and consequently, individuals who gained experience in the industry started
their own firms and a cluster of truck brokerage businesses has existed in Jackson County crxx since.
Thcsc arc both factors that halt, demonstrated durable comparative advantages in the transportation and
warehousing industry in Jackson County and these advantages halt, translated into wages that arc much
higher than the statcvide median in that industry for Cenral Point residents of whom approximately 386
arc employed in that sector.
Comrcrsclt, retail trade is depicted in rcd bold typeface because of its relatively low wages in Cenral
Point. Typically, retail wages arc somewhere near the middle across all industries but mud to Lx relatively
compctitivc across geographies. Yor csamplo, the Jackson County median is only slightly less than the
star ..id, median. 11o,, ex, Central Point's median is almost ten pemcnt below the stamwidc median
and is over seven percent less than the Jackson County median. Bccausc of the compctitivc
compensation structure within this industry sector, retail may represent an opportunity to jrrow wages if
Central Point can increase its retail employment base.

Central Point echibits a somewhat unique combination of commuting patterns. Typically, cities that has
a low percentagc of its residents working within the cioL also has relam ep, high commute times. That is
not the case for Central Point. Central Point has only 21 percent of its residents who work in Central
Point but Central Point residents haec much shorter than average commute times when compared to
statewide and count, wide averages. The logical explanation for this unusual data relationship is that high
percentages of Central Point residents work in north Medford which in mans cases is right across the

street or that work in lA hire Cite which is proximal and can he accessed via relamelt' uneongasted
sections of Interstate 5 and Table Rock Road. Given the short commute times reported in the census
data, this inclicates that Central Point is all positioned to provide labor that is effectively lass expensive
than the regional or statetvidawomforces. Central Point is in factcantral in relation to the regional jobs.
3.4.4 Economic Development Context
In addition to the quantitative measures, Goal 9 encourages cities to consider the qualitative traits of their
local economics to support future economic daralopment and emplot-ment growth. These qualitative
traits are arfloated below through a simple SIXVOT assessment (Strengths, IX\aaknassas, Opportunities,
and Threats).

3.4.5 Regional Competitiveness
planning for economic development should he supported by an understanding of the regiods
competitive position. As a general rule, employers make locational decisions hased upon a regiods
competitive position for their specific indusaw and then make specific choices between communities
within the region based upon localized factors. Thus, identifying industries in which the region can be
competitive is important to develop land use policies and strategies to capture economic development
potential for which Jackson Count is well positioned.
There are several quantitative measures that can be used to assess the ri e strength of industry sectors
within a region. Two commonly used measures are shift-share and location quotient (.Q). These
measures emphasize different economic phenomena. The LQ compares the relative strength of
industries for a geographic region in relation to the nation as a whole The LQ can he concepmalized as
a multiple for that industry. For example, if an industry sector in the State of Oregon has an LQ of 2
then the concentration of that industry in Oregon would exhibit twice the concentration of that industn'
in the national economy as a whole and conversely if the LQ is 0.5 then the concentration of that
industr would be half the concentration in the national economy. if an LQ is greater one it indicates
Page 25 of 51
CAP061313 Re 62
City of Central Point
Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
that the concentration is )seater than the national average and if it is less than one then the concentration
is less than the national average. The LQ is a snapshot in time and does not reflect changes over time.
The shift -share measures the degree to which an industrc sector has outperformed the nation as a whole
within that indusm's emplOCment levels during a specified time period. If an industrc has )sown
nationallc in relation to other sectors, such as healthcare over the last ten mars, but the regional growth
has remained static within the indusm- then there will be a zero shift -share percentage. If the regional
growth outpaced the change in national share then there would be a positive shift - share. A positive shift -
share could even be depicmd where the nation as a whole loses absolute emplolment vs. the regional
share. For example, it of anti lacturing emplolment decreased during the period anah zed but the regional
economc held a constant manufacturing empimnient base during the period this would result in a
positive shift - share.

3.4.6 City of Central Point Competitive Position Summary
\8 'hen all the regional and loeahrCld Factors am stothesized, than appear to be at (cast four Lager industn'
sectors where the Cott of Central Point mat' chibil a strong and durable competitive position:
• The spccialtt' floods cluster that includes Lillic Belle Farms chocolates, Rogue Creamer, and the
ucarbt' Scvcn Oaks Farm just outside Central Point's municipal boundan' represents a small but
unique opportunist' For growth.
• Truck transportation and related support industries pat' high wages to Con' residents and is a
sector that koth the Region and the Cin' arc well positioned to serve.
• Planned population grov¢h in Central Point in the regional plan is expected to support expanded
retail commercial ocithn, the City as the busing poorer of the Cin's residential base expands.

City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
Plauncd population growh is also likch to support expanded healthcare services in the cin'.
Overall, this sector is expected to grow rapidly within the region. Existing icncstmcnts in the
City of Medford hospitals am likely to concentrate much of the regional growth in that
geographic area, but Ccutral Point has an opportunity to keep pace with oecrall regional growth
in the sector.
Central Point also has some unique spatial characteristics that may support future economic actieitics in
two other sectors due to the adoption of the RPS plan. Specifically, them am aggregate employment uses
and hrickson Air Cranc that am located within the Tolo t than Rcsc,c Ilrcas. Thcsc arc hoth employer
apes with special needs, but the areas inclusion in the RPS Plan may present opportunities to work with
these employers for mutual hencfit.

This section of the Economic Element projects- the Cig of Central Point's- long term (20 -year) and short
term (5 -year) supply of needed sites for employment land. OAR Chaptcr 660, Dmsiou 9 contains
specific requirements for emplol mcnt land planning inside urban growth boundaries. Division 9 requires
cities to hays adequate supplies of land to meet emplolment needs for a range of cmplolmcnt
opportunities. Division 9 also requires that emplolmcnt lands be adequate not just from a total acreage
standpoint but to also he functionally adequate to assure that an adequate land supple will he planned to
capitalize on the City's economic opportunities in both quantity and quality.
For purposes of land use planning anahsis, development of cmplolmcnt lands can he categorized into
five generalized development pattern forms office, industrial, commercial retail, campus stdc, and
accommodations teach of these general forms tends to he demanded by different industries and land
demand for these forms varies in important qualitative ways. This land demand section of the heonomie
hlcment characterizes land demand according to these broad economic development forms.
4.1 Economic Growth Rate Forecast
The regional 10-ycar growth forecast by industry is prepared by the Oregon Fatploymcnt Department
and it represents a good foundation from which to develop a t caty year land demand forecast. It is
expected that Central Point will at least maintain growth rates comparable to the region as a whole
across all industries oecr the next twenty years and may reasonably he expected to exceed regional growth
rates in target industries. Central Point's- population is projected to grow at a faster rate (2.00`4) through
2040) than regional employment and thus it is reasonable to ecpcct that employment growth
will at least keep pace with the region across all industries.
However, consistent with the City's competitive positions- described above there are at least three sectors
whcre the Cite is well positioned to capture additional economic opportunities and out - perform the
overall regional growth. Those sectors am specialty foods manufacturing trucking and warehousing and
retail. It is in these three industry sectors that the State's- regional forecast is appropriately adjusted
upward to redcct localized opportunities.

CAP061313 Pg. 66
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
4.1.1 Specialty Food Manufacturing
This is a small but distinguished scctor in the Antral Point economy. Overall, modest growth
assumptions in the manufacturing scctor arc likcly to adequamly captum growth potential in this niche
scctor but may buoy a slight edge over regional growth rates. However, csccptional growth in this scctor
is possible clue to the exceptional quality of products in this inch, if such growth in the futum
materializes, then that may warrant a rc- cvaluation of the overall manufacturing employment growth
fomcast in the Economic Elcment.
4.1.2 Trucking and Warehousing
Trucking and warehousing is a strong industry regionally with higher than average employment
concentrations. Alcdian wages in the industry for Central Point residents arc much higher than regional
or state averages. Assuring adequate supply of land for these uses mprescuts an cxecllcat opportunity to
expand on an existing scctor of strength that also pals rclativcly high wages. Also this industry has
potential interconnections with the wholesaling industry that creates the potential to outpace overall
regional growth to a modest degree.
Central Point is also uniquely positioned to satisfy regional growth and capitalize on regional comparative
advantages- in this scctor. The Grcater Bear Creck Vallcy Regional Plan contemplates- that the "Tolo"
area is well situated for this type of economic activity north of Lntcrchangc 35 which almady scrccs
industrial traffic to \X him City and aggregate resource traffic in the area. Thcm is acre little residential
and commercial development around the interchange. No acw residential d,clopmcat is contemplated
in the regional plan so this aura is well positioned to meet an important regional iced for expanded
transportation and warehousing uses.
4.1.3 Retail
Rctail represents another opportunity for the City of Central Point. Rctail trade and associated
employment tends to vary with population. From a retail trade perspcetiva, population growth is
essentially consumer growth. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that entail trade in Central Point will
outpace the rwo- county regional rate and will keep pace with the annual average population growth as sct
out in the County's- coordinated population forecast for the City. From an industn categorization versus
land use perspective them am some small but important differences. Land use tcrmiaolog. includes
restaurants and bars arc included within the entail catcgon' while restaurants arc categorized in the leisure
and hostility' indusm sectors in NAICS, so growth in this scctor is appropriately consistent with the entail
uses in both categorization schemes such as a boutique.
4.1.4 Planned Growth Forecast by Industry
The bclow Tablc 4.1 -1 depicts a masonablc 20 -pear planned growth rate by industry for the City of
Central Point. This growth rate utilizes- the State's- regional forecast for all industries with the exception
of retail trade and transportation, warehousing and utilities. Rctail trade utilizes a 2.05 percent Avcragc
Annual Growth Rate (AG R) that is equivalent to the planned population growth for the City of Central
Point. The Transportation, IX\ amhousing and Utimcs target average annual growth rate mpmsents the
highest masonably achievable growth rate in this industrial classification.

4.1.5 Comparison to Planned Regional Employment Growth
The Greater Bear Creek Vallcv Regional Plao contains two sections relevant to employment growth
planning`. As part of the regional plan development, E,CO Northwest prepared a rcglonal E,c nomic
Opportunities Analysis. This analysis looked at existing emploamcut levels by City and made long -range
cmploamcut projections for purposes of Urban Reseree planning. The most analogous period in tine
regional plan is the pert 2011 to 2036. During that period, the Rcglonal Plan estimated regnonal
employment grcmth to be approximately 1.34)'a annual average grcmth. However, due to the recessiou
starting Icicls in that pert of 2011 were overestimated in the regional plan bccausc the regional plan did
not predict the largest recession in the post-\\ 'al can in 2008 -2009.
Alethodologicalh, tine regional plants- forecast methodology relied hetvih on the most recent State
forecast available at that time just as Central Point's- Economic Element forecast now relies- hmvih on tine
most recent State forecast However, one would masonably expect those forecasts to not align perlcetla
because the State forecast relied upon in the regional plan was a 10 -year forecast until 2014 that now has
only a year remaining Oycrall, there is nothing that is inc usistcnt lwMcco the li4 f regional growth
rate in cmployment projected in the regional plan and the 214,t growth rate forecast that is specific to
the City of Central Point L GB over this shorter planning period and planning for continued rccorcn'
from the largest recession in the post- A8'\8'11 period.

4.2 20 -year Land Demand Estimate
The Central Point target aecragc annual growth rate in Table 4.1 -1 can be utilized to create a 20-war
employment land demand estimate for the City of Central Point. Fmplotment land demand estimates
can be projected using a yaaig of techniques. One technique c uNcrts the projected growth rates into
projected employees and then uses aNcragc employee space needs and floor area ratios to project future
land needs. Then these land needs must be aggregated by the dcNclopmcnt pattern type demanded by
each indrism so that the demand projections can ultimatclt' be reconciled with land base supply
calculations. Pesch of these steps acquires assumptions about expected ratios and land dcNclopmcat
efficiencies.
\8'hilc them is nothing wrong with the growth forecast to cmplolmcnt to land needs c n, crsiofa method,
it does acquire seyeaal steps to calculate and mac be unncecssarik complex in some circumstances. That
is the case in Central Point which has an existing built cmplolmcnt land base that is sasofaablc efficient.
The existing built emplo,mcut land base contains a reasonaby efficient representation of four of the five
development pattern types that includes retail commercial, office, industrial and accommodations.
Collectively, these ceisting land base conditions can reasonably be assumed to function like an "existing
population' to which the target growth rates can be applied and future land demands can aeasoaablc be
projected.
The only development pattern that is not represented is the campus development pattern. There arc no
lags campus development patterns in Central Point except for the school district campuses. Other than
a new school, it is not expected that additional lags campus development patterns (i.e. 25 acres or lager
institutional development) arc likely in Central Point . d new school would be most likely planned
through the school facilities planning stamtc and located within the residential land base. There is no
dear point where a "large office dcyclopment" becomes a "campus dcyclopmenP'. In practice, this is a
continuum and it is entirely possible that one or two developments in the 5 to 15 acs range may occur
over the planning period. The design and laamt of such projects may result in them being more or less
"campus like" as opposed to adjaccut "large office sites". The Cin's existing land use regulations allow
for such development patterns in many of the emplo,meat areas and continuing to allow these uses
would allow any lags office /small campus developments to be sited without faced for any land rise
ngulatiofa amendments. In terms of gror,ah planning projections, afay development of this n -pe is
assumed to be captured in the cmplolmcnt growth rates that arc assumed to demand office space.
To take this approach, the average annual growth rates from Table 41 -lmrist be aggregated according to
the npc of development pattern they arc expected to demand. This aggregation is reflected in Table 42-
1 and the iadustr, sectors if, each estimate arc depicted in the far right column. Leisure and hospitalm
would generally be expected to demand retail space (in the form of restaurants) but also overnight
accommodations type dcvclopmcar patterns. However, Central Point generally allows overnight
accommodations to be located withifa the commercial retail areas and therefore these categories and land
needs may appropriately be aggregated despite the fact that their specific site acquirements may be
somewhat different thafa typical retail.
]Lisa because a ne,c large campus deccloprent is riot considered Ilkeh' does riot resin the ( :in should preclude
such uses in its land Life planning program for economic def elopment.
Page 32 of 51
CAP061313 Pg. 69
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
The aggregated growth rates by development pattern type am the same as the state forecast rates for tic

4.3 Site Requirements Analysis
Goal 9 requires an anahsis of site requirements. Site Requirements arc the qualitative land fcaturc
necessar, for a site to possess in order for the site to meet the needs of busincsscs that mould utilize the
site Goal 9 and it implementing rule at OAR Chapter 660, Division W9 docs not specii' the Icvcl of
detail required in the site requirement analtsis. Morarver, the rule contemplate that the site
requirements analtsis is Iikclo to van with the sizcand complecito ofthe jurisdiction.
The Central Point Economic Elemeet nsentiallt' hmak, its site requirement into three main
development pattern npc: retail commercial; office; and industrial. There arc some other npc of site
that arc not analazed in detail for Central Point but arc worths' of a brief discussion:
Campus dcvclopmcut pattern npc arc those that arc largo, to very largo, in nature (almost
al.os 50 or more acres). Thcsc dcvclopmcut patterns tend to sen, goverumevts, non -
govcmmcutal institutions or vcro largo, multi - national companion. Othcr than school campuses,
Ccutral Point door not have ant' largo, campus dcvclopmcut patterns. No specific source of
demand for Ccutral Point for this tape of usc is ideutificd in the Economic Elcmcnt but such
demand is possible In the cveut unideutificd demand materialize for this type of usc, thou
specific targeted amendment to the clement mat' be appropriate to capture the newly identified
demand and to evaluate land supplies to meet the needs. Nothing in the Economic Element
should be construed to disallow or be unsupportive for the siting of a largo, campus
dcvclopmcut pattcm.
Overnight accommodations (hotel, and motels) arc a unique dcvclopmcut pattern typo, that is
somewhat different in form than retail commercial usc. However, those usc arc gcucralh
allowed in retail commercial s one and many of their site requirements arc similar and can be
accommodated on retail commercial silos. For this reason, the Ccutal Point Economic
Flemeut door not project demand or analaze site supply for overnight accommodations
independently from other tapes of commercial uses.

4.3.2 Target Industries' Unique Site Requirements
In addition, to the general development Pattern s-itc requirements, the City of Central Point has -
opportunities- for economic de,,v opment in areas- of specialty foods- manufacturing, truck transportation
and transportation support services, and retail trade. The site requirements- specific to Central Point for
these target industries warrant more detailed consideration.
Page 35 of 51
CAP061313 Pg. 72
City of Central Point
Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
Speciwlry Food Products MwrmifwctnriugR The small cluster of busincsses that are engaged in
specialta- food products manufacturing in Central Point hacc small retail store &oats that
accompaac their manufacturing businesses. The sites are generalk small and there is limited
room to expand operations on the existing sites. The segment of I ighwac 99 cohere these uses
are located have good access to 1 -5 which have excellent visibility- directk from Highwm 99.
However, the narrow strip berveen Highwac 99 and the railroad tracks creates a practical limit
on expansion. Central Point should keep lines of communication open with these businesses to
assure that the site requirements for any expausiou are well understood by staff and polic -
makers.
Truck Transportation and Transportation Support Services- Thcsc businesses require both
office space and trucking facilities that are often co-located. Site requirements may also include
space for related uses such as truck washes, muck driver accommodations and intermodal freight
handling. Large outdoor storage and warehouse space is 4pieally required. Adequate expausiou
area is often a factor when selecting a site so that expausiou can be accommodated without the
aced to relocate. Direct access to the interstate freeway is essential and must be located in areas
that are relatively free from c ngestiou to enable efficient freight movements. Aside from
transportation facilities, power, and modem communications, some transportation uses mac not
necessarily require the full complement of other urban facilities and services.
Retail Trade- Convenient access to 1 -5 is important but meeting visibility- site requirements
from 1 -5 is Central Point is a challenge. The Pine Street interchange is somewhat c ngested and
may raise site requirement concerns among larger retailers. Visibility- from the Pine Street arterial
is good and access can be made reasonably direct Until an anchor center is sited that attracts
regional shopping trips, the site requirements of many small and medium retailers cannot be met
The anchor tenants create a critical mass of shopping activity- that then allows the small and
medium retailers to achieve additional sales with shopping trips that are created by the anchor.
4.4 Projection of Needed Employment Sites
This- scetiou projects- the Cm of Central Point's- employment land needs-. OAR Chapter 660, Division
009 requires estimates of land oceds be the number of sites demanded. hidividual site aceds must be
identified because employment sites must be supplied in rho /e units ". This is especialk true for large sites.
For example, a site for a large warehousing and freight formarcling operation can easilc be 50 or more
acres or a site for large shopping center can be 30 or more acres. These types of uses have minimum site
sizes and below those minimum sizes there is not adequate land to meet the oceds of these emplocers.
Thus, it is N er, possible for a city- to have 200 acres of industrial land that is vacant within its t Gtr but if
all of this land supple consists of parcels seNco acres or less scattered around the t Gtr then there is no
single site thatwould meet that projected demand.
If demand (or need) is not projected by site ope, it then bccomes impossible to later analyze the land
supply to determine its adequacy to supply the number or required fit, Central Point's- projections- of
site needs are based upon potential site size demand ratios or splits. F,ssentially, the aggregate acreage

The 10/30/60 percent ratio is not expected to be adequate for land use planning purposes from a
discreet site demand standpoint for sey,ral reasons. first, most of Central Point's existing employment
lands base is downtown or along Highway 99. The existing development patterns of there areas are
almost exclusively small site with a handful of medium site scattered throughout. Thus, the existing
employment land base is already skewed toward a supple of small sites. Second, if it turns out that
demand for small sites is higher that initially planned and supplier are ruining low in five to ten years
from the time Of the last L GB amendment, it is theo much easier to add additional smaller site because
a L GB amendment is not required; all that is required is additional land division.
The site demand oumher difference b,treen the 30/40/30 ratio split and the 40 /50/10 ratio split are
not too significant_ Planning for land demands between these tvo splits is prudent and is expected to
adequately captor, demand for large and medium site while still supplying an adequate number of
smallersites Oyer time.

4.4.2 Short -Term Demand Estimates
OAR Chapmr 660, Division 009 also requires an cstimam of short -corm cmployment land demand —the
demand expo,emd to aeemc oNcr the next dyo, years. This requirement creams a mm//nwvberrpirblem for a
community the sizc of Central Point. In the cascs of largo, office suns and largo, and medium industrial or
commecial suns, the projccmd demand (cven undcr the 40 /50/10 ratio split) ovcr the tmcnt- pcar period
insults in numbcrs that tango, from 7 to 2. By quarmring thcsc numbers it is possible to attain thcorctical
"floc -year demand" results, with numbcrs that range from less than two to lass than ono,. Scvcral of the
categories csscntially translam to demand that is ono, cvcn' light or ten years on avcragc and assuming a
stochastic demand during Lhc period. A8'ith numbcrs this small, it would be hubris to projcct that this
demand would occur within or without of the initial five pcars of any given nveno- -pear planning period.
Its such, for thcsc largo, situ caegories, land use plans should sack to supply the full ¢worm- -vicar projccted
demand as short -corm demand as wall. It can reasonably be assumed that small site demand is 25 percent
of the 20 -year demand bccausc the small suns do not hayc this same small numbcrs problem.
5 Employment Land Base Analysis
Aft or identifying comomic opportunities in Scction 3 and cstimating land demand in Scction 4, the next
snip in Lhc Goal 9 process is to cvaluam Lhc land basc and its ability- to meet Lhc situ needs for which
thcrc is a projccmd demand over Lhc next ¢venn- hcars. Central Point ulxlams its go,neral buildable lands
information on a regular basis and this information has beo,n used as the starting point to anakzc Lhc land
base from a mom specific Goal 9 perspccdvc.
The land base is camgorized accorcling to dcvclopment patmm n-pas: commercial retail, office, industrial,
campus, and a handful of specific uses. Lands arc classified as vacant or do,cloped. Classification of
dcvclopcd or vacant rclicd upon a number of data sources such as 2012 aerial photos, assessor data, and
ficld inspccrions. The do,cloped lands arc classified as large, medium or small according to Lhc thrcc
main do,clopmo,nt patmm to pas and judgment about the size of the site For vacant lands, classification
of both sizc and cl,clopmcnt patmm npc is rcquircd. This is bccausc some office dcvclopmcnt patmms
arc allowed in both industrial and commercial plan dcsignations. Thus, classification into the
dcvclopment patmm n'pc was based in part on Lhc applicable regulations (i.c. industrial in industrial areas
and commercial in commercial areas) and also on local knowlcdgc for locating offtcc uses on specific
suns whcrc office uses would be expected to be Lhc highest and bast use and consistcnt with overall Icvcls
of offtcc use rclative to other cl,clopmcnt in the Cin .
Central Point has a considerable amount of "TOD Mixed I se" desigmated lands and, from a regulator
standpoint, much of Lhasa lands can be used for cither msidential or cmplovment uses. The policies
underlying this regulatory framework arc immnded to mix appropriam uses for transportation and other
communal bcnefit reasons. However, this makes concrem categorical it, cntoroing of cmplmment lands
on a strict regulator basis problematic.
Thus a mom subjectiNc and qualitatiNc approach to land base camgorization is required. For built lands,
the approach is straightforward bccausc lands wars, categorized according to the built natum of the site.
For vacant lands, the situ raquirements of employment uses arc such that only certain lands within the
TOD Mixed I se designated arcas arc swell locamd for topical cmployment uses. F,mployment uses arc
likcly to out- compem msidential uses for the Tolman' use of TOD Mixed Use designamd lands and

Mixed Usc dcsigmamd lands arc ill- locamd for employment uscs but arc well locamd for residential uses
and these can and arc assumcd to be primarily uscd for msidcnrial purposes. This narrows the inicntorn

Central Point has a good distribution of built industrial land. However, the total industrial development

Alcother way to assess the rclativc positioning of the built employment land base is to look at land value

The bet positioned commercial land is the most valuable per square foot. Thec lands arc
closet to 1 -5 and therefore command the highest ealucs. Oicrall, thec commercial ealucs arc
still somewhat low when compared to similar lands in Medford; therefore, Ccntral Point has a
rclativc land price advantage when compared to the City of Mcciford.

TOD miscd use lands in the docmtocm area arc likely to have relatively high values but these are
likely weighed doer.. by the legacy commercial development on Highway 99. The actual
differential in value is 5239 per square foot when compared to the commercial land. This
indicates that much of this land which is developed for commercial uses is still reasouably well
positioned for continued commercial tcmmce and should be able to support some of the Cm's
more intensive TOD objectives over time.
As expected, the industrial values are much lower than the values in the TOD and traditional
commercial areas. The industrial land values are gemeralle consistent with regional averages and
mac actuallc be somewhat on the high -side. This indicates that demand exists but mac also mean
that the Cite could find itself at a price disadvantage in the future if vacant land inventories
became too tight because industrial users tend to be the most price sensitive of the emplolmcut
land catecgories.
Overall, the "population of quilt cmplomcnt land" in Central Point appears to have adequate total
acreage and diversm of development pattern tops to function as an appropriate base from which to
estimate future demands. Average emplolmcmt land values do not exhibit unexpected relationships and
indicate a normalk functioning market that reasonable well positioned from a regional standpoint.
5.2 Employment Land Supply
The emplolment land supple analysis in this section evaluates lands within the esesting t Gtr for their
ahilm to satisf- projected emplolment land needs for the next twenty ,cars. This maksis is required to
evaluate the supple of sites to meet both short -term and long-term demands. The anak sis also cw aluate,
redevelopment potential and the efficiency of the Cm's cmplotmcnt land hasc.
5.2.1 Vacant Land Supply
V aeaut land for cmplotmcnt land supple in anak sis under CAR Chapter 660, Division 009 is a deemed as
follows:
(LA) "V'aeanr Land" means a lox or parcel:
a) Lqual m or larger than one half acre nor eurrendl eoiraming permanenr huildings or
mprot un� ,
or
(h) I!qual m or larger rhan five acres t here Ice rhan one half acre is occupied he permanenr huildings
or irapr,a era ii,.
The mle is silent on the land use designations to which this designation applies. For the Central Point
F,conomie F,lemcnt, this definition was applied to all lands with a commercial or industrial
comprehensive plan map designation and the TOD Mixed Cse designated lands that are expected to be
"suitahle" under OAR Chapter 660, Division 009 for cmplotmcnt lands. For all such lands, the
definition of vacant lands in OAR Chapter 660, Ditsion 009 was applied. The lands identified as Natant
are depicted in Figure 5.2-1 below.

The vacant lands map shows chat most of the available employment lands are crest of Interstate 5. This a
almost universal for the supply of vacant industrial lands and the commercial land hale incl udes some
vacant commercial and office sit�5 located in the Twin Creeks TOD ar a1,
Goal 9 requires an analysis of the short -term supply of sires (vhieh are essentially sites that can be
developed within one pear). Most all of the City's vacant lands have frontage on higher order street or on
Page 44 real
CAP061313 Pg. 81

streets that are intended to serve employment uses. Access to the employment lands in the Twin Creeks
TOD is constrained by a railroad crossing and thus someone might argue that these lands should notbe
included as pact of the short -term supply because they cannot be ready for development in one year.
However, these lands do have access and could be developed and the crossing is recommended for the
nett ODOT improvement cycle which mould give anyone doing development in this area some
confidence if they can operate for a couple years without the rail crossing. Other than the Twin Creek
sites, all the other vacant lands appear to have services that are readily available and are planned and
zoned for their intended employment uses. It is expected that most all of the vacant employment lands
in Central Point could serve as short -term supply and therefore a more detailed short term supply
analysis is mmrcessan'.
Table 5.2.1
Central Point Vacant Employment Lands by Site Type
(SOU¢e_ Jackson County Assessor Ciry o/Cenhel Point CSA Planning LM_)
Table5.2-1 depicts the vacant employment sites by major development pattern type and size. The ratios
of available supply for retail and office across size categories are reasonably kvell distributed. The City has
no supply of medium industrial sites and therefore there is both a short -term and long-term supply
deficiency in this eategora.
From a qualitative standpoint, most of the commercial and office employment sites are reasonably well
located and configured to meet current and future market demands. There are two commercial sites ,,it,
excellent visibility from 1 -5 but access o1 them is some hat circuitous behind the existing Ho &day Inn
Fspress. The Twin Creeks site, are constrained by the railroad right -of -may as above described. There is
another long na¢ow site just south of the dlbcrtsods Ccntcr that eompd se, just Dyer five acre,. Lt has a
dwchng and other development that uses less than one half acre and therefore must be im•entoded as

vacant Iiomever, it is ill configured to meet ant new commercial or office needs unless it etas used for
expansion of the existing Allbcrtson's Center.
Most of the industrial sites arc mcll configured and mcll located and most of the available invention' is
located in the triangnilar area located beamecn Bast Pine Strect, Bcar Creck and Table Rock Road. In
some mays, this land may be too mcll located for some industrial users. BCtNecn the commercial ncarbq
proximity to the airport and the frecmaq it is possible that the price per foot may be too high for certain
to cs of larger industrial users. For small and a few medium industrial users, the Table Rock Road
im enaonv assums that a range of site qualities and associated pricing is available in the Citds im cnaon.
5.2.2 Vacant Supply vs. Demand Reconci l iat ion
\8'ith the supple of sites defined and the demand characterized in 4.4 above, it is possible to mconcile ahc
supple of vacant sites in relation to the projected demand. This is the last major step to detemtine ahc
adequacy of the UGB to meet long -term emplo, mcna land needs.

over the planning periocl.
5.2.3 Redevelopment and Land Use Efficiency Analysis
The Cin- of Central Point's built amployment land hase has relativek- limited redevelopment potential.
Most of the built sites- consist of relativalc small lots- with one and two store huildings-. This
confign¢ation does- not lend itself all to redevelopment on a scale that would s-igmificantk alter the
s-upplc and demand for sites- over a twentl- scar period hacause this would require the demolition and
aggregation of parcels-. AA'hile this tape of redevelopment does- occur on occasion, it is unlikelc to he
economicallc viable in Central Point on a scale that would actuallc alter long -term s-upplc and demand
projections- for amplo, ment lands-. This qu antitatn e determination should not be consmied to mean that
there arc not good qualitatiNe reasons to support redayalopment, as-peeiallc in the downtown and along
High'ac 99.
There exists- a small amount of rede�alopment potential along Table Rock Road. Scieral parcels- there
contain residential uses- that could be davaloped for employment uses- under the Comprehensive Plan.
Other parcels- arc not intensk elp davaloped. However, this is an area where relatively inexpensk e small
industrial sites- arc available to own and where there are limited development requirements- that add
ovcrhaad. In some ways, this area is-importent employment land for certain dyes- of firms that have tier
fever places- to locate in the valley in a manner that is cost - effective. As such, aggres-sn e redevelopment
planning policies- for this area may seam to he a great aesthetic endeavor but may havc acherse and
unintended economic consequences-. Moreover, without relatively massive financial incentives- for
significant rede�alopment that would change the overall quality of development in this area, lesser
redealopment policies- tend to havc the opposite effect where owners- intentionally avoid development
projects- that would trigger expensive design and aesthetic upgrades- to their respective properties-.
The planned employment land hase in the City of Central Point is- efficient as planned. The TOD Mixed
I se designations encourage efficiency through a wide swath of the City's employment land bat. These
CeSig1sationS and as-s-ociatad zoning allow for creative dasigm and intensification of use. Because there arc
deficits- in all categories- of amplolmant land, it is not possible to re-clasigmate lands- from one
employment catcgon- to another to render the land base more efficient. A8'ithout a simultaneous- Housing
F,lement raciaw it is not possible to know if surplus- residential lands- exist that could be rcdcsigmatcd for
employment purposes-. However, there are really only two areas- (Twin Creeks- and the area cast of
Hamrick Road and north of Baaba Road) that are not developed. It seams implausible that there is room
for more than tan thousand additional people within thrive two ralatiyale small areas- over the next hyentC
years- sufficient to also havc room to accommodate sigmificaut amploement land deficits-.
6 Goals, Conclusions and Policies
This section s-at, forth the conclusions- from the foregoing analysis as well as the City's economic
development goals- and policies-. The goals- and politics- in this section havc been coordinated with, and

City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
6.1 Goal: General Economic Development
1. To actnek promote a strong, diycrs-ified, and sustainable local cconomv, that reinforces Central
Point's- "Small town feel ",' MCI family orientation while preserving or enhancing the quality of
life in the community as a Place to live, work, and Play.
2. To create incentives- to encourage and support economic deyclopmenry
3. To encourage and promote the development or enhancement of retail and office areas- to aclseN e
a vibrant shopping, entertainment, living and working csperience in the downtown area.
4. To encourage actiya communication and cooperation between the Cin, local, and state agencies,
and local bus Mass as concerning economic dayalopment, education, and workforce dayalopment.
3. To encourage and support growth, particularly in the targeted industries (retail, specialty food
manufacturing, and trucking and warehousing sectors).
6. To maintain at all time an adaquata supple of suitable short -tern (fiic,M) emplolment land.
. To prepare and maintain a City of Central Point Economic Development Manual idectifiing and
monitoring economic development strategies and programs available to the City.
Through the daelopment of its Economic Element, tha City of Central Point has reached the following
conclmsions and policies relative to t h a above ci ted general economic goals:
Central Point concludes that effective economic development actions necessary to diversify the
Cites- economic base requires an understanding of, and a careful balance between regional
cooperation and competition. It is important to understand and pro-actively participate in the
broader state and regional economic development discussions. Participating in regional
economic development programs like SOREDI and the Rogue Vallcy lA orkforce Development
Council can improve the regional economic climate and a strong regional economy will benefit
all communities witlun the region. Most importantly, to In an effective participant the City must
recognize its competitive advantage yvithin the region and compete for those economic
development opportunities yvithin the region for which the Central Point is wall positioned.
2. Central Point concludes that the pursuit of beneficial economic development requires a balance
between short -term and long -term economic objectives. The City recognizes that some
opportunities map warrant short -term incentives to achieve longer tern emplo�uoent or property
taz revenue objectives; while other opportunities may have a lesser long -term benefit MCI may
not warrant the short -term fiscal cost of incentives.
3. Central Point concludes that the economy is dynamic and even economic opportunities for
which the City is y,all Positioned require timely and concerted action. These d,samic economic
forces require the City to lie responsive and &Xibla to capitalize on opportunities as they arise.
The Cm', economic development goals- will be managed through the following policies-:
rAs defined in 'he Crbanieavon I!lemenrof the Comprehensive Plan.
Page 46 o /51
CAP061313 Pg. 85
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
6.1.1 Policy 1.1
The City shall participate on the mgioual and state Iced in the development and programming of
alternative financial incentives and initiatives for economic development, including education and
workforce development that are consistent with the Cm's- economic development goals. .
6.1.2 Policy 1.2
The City shall continue to monitor and refine its land development and fiscal policies as they relate to
economic development to ensure that the City's- economic development programming can he effectively
implemented.
6.1.3 Policy 1.3
Consider economic development incentives as an inducement to development only when it can be
demonstrated that the short -term consequences are understood and found to be acceptable and the long-
term consequences are determined to be beneficial to the City.
6.2 Goal: Economic Opportunities Synthesis
The Economic Element contains- hoth qualitative and quantitative evaluations- of the Cm's- economic
assets and challenges-. The conclusions- and policies- in this section express- the Cm's- synthesis- of these
qualitative and quantitative findings and identify appropriate economic opportunities, as follows
1. Central Point concludes that the region has a demonstrated strength in the truck transportation
and truck support services sectors and that Central Point residents working in this segment of
the local economc arc wall compensated. Exit 35 is wall situated to capitalize on growth in the
trucking and transportation warehousing industry segments. ODOT's- plans- for the interchange
contemplate that its design and the associated local street network Neill continue to prioritize
freight movements. The interchange is relatiNch free from urban traffic that might otherwise
impede the industrial, aggregate and freight traffic that utilize the interchange. Central Point has
an opportunity- to work with ODOT and Jackson Counts to assure that plans for this
interchange reflect the opportunities for expanded truck transportation and transportation
support services in the area and do so in a manner that will maximize the long -term potential for
growth in this industry at this location.
2. Central Point concludes that commercial retail site requirements arc specific and Central Point
will need to plan for its competitive niche. Central Point is dose to Jackson County Airport,
Jackson Couuty Expo and Interstate 5. Collectively, proximity to these major regional draws, in
as-s-ociationwith the Cm's- continued population growth, will create opportunities- to capture and
expand its competitive retail niche.
3. Central Point concludes that the City has experienced the development of a small specialty foods
duster that includes Rogue Creamery and Lillic Balle Farms (chocolatiers). These Firms produce
high quality products that have gained regional and national acclaim. Expansion of these Firms
and /or attraction of similar firms have the potential to gain the City notoriety for a unique
industry segment that has potential for gro�iah over time.

Comprehensive Plan Economic Element
Central Point amcludas that maintaining and improving the overall quality of life in the Cite is a
qualitative measure that is not easy to quay i but is and will continue to be important for the
Cin's economic prosperm.
Central Point concludes that design and layout of the built environment affects the overall
aesthetics and livability of the Cite. Balanced land usa and development regulations that control
design without stifling craativity have the potential to improve the aesthetic of the Cite while
reducing or eliminating land use conflicts. The standards and levels of design performance
should differentiate between areas and land uses.
6.2.1 Policy 2.1
Central Point concludes that the Cite has experienced the loss of cottage industry and expanding small
businesses disc to a lack of vacant available employment related buildings (flex- specuJi) and the Cin
cannot attract small businesses from elsewhere for the same mason.
6.2.2 Policy 2.2
The City shall, in collaboration with Jackson County, plan the Exit 35 area also called "Area CP -iff
(Polo)" in the Regional Plan Element, to capitalize on economic opportunities, especialk for
transportatioo-based economic activity and ttuck /rail freight support services. This area also contains an
aeronautics manufacttaring eomparn in Erickson Air Crane and scrycs aggregate uses; these uses have
mar specific and unique dimensions that should be carefully considered. Plans and land use regulations
applicable to this area need to account for the site requirements of firms in these sectors.
6.2.3 Policy 2.3
The City shall periodically evaluate its regulations for employment related daveopment, particularly as
relates to the targeted industrial, and compatibility rmh adjacent non - employment lands, to ensure that
the regulations am consistent with applicable "first Practices "Js. Regulations found to no longer be
appropriate should be amended as soon as practicable thereafter.
6.3 Goal: Employment Land Supply and Development
The Economic Element contains both a qualitative and quantitatiec anah3is of the On's land supplies
and employment land cl,clopmcnt patterns. This section sets forth the Cit,'s conclusions and policies
that result from this analysis, as follows:
1. Central Point concludes that urban facilities and sewiees are critical for the cl cclopment of
employment lands. Thus, the Cin's Goal 11 Public Eacilmcs and Scniccs planning and Goal 12
Transportation Planning are critical to the timch delivery of infrastructure necessary to support
economic daselopmanc
2. Central Point concludes that it must maintain an adequate supply of employment land. The City
has deficits in nearly all cl,clopmant pattern categories according to findings in Table 52 -2.

AGENDA ITEM: File No. 06060 -2
Consideration of a resolution setting a public hearing and initiating proceedings to vacate a
public right -of -way in a cul de sac bulb in favor of a fire district approved hammerhead located
in a PUD Subdivision known as Gray Court and adjacent to Tax Lot 1514 on Jackson County
Assessor's Map 372W l 1 A. Applicant: City of Central Point
STAFF SOURCE:
Tom Humphrey AICP, Community development Director
BACKGROUND:
The Gray Court PUD Subdivision was approved by the City in 2008 and infrastructure
improvements were installed in preparation of new housing construction. However, changes in
the economy delayed the construction, the property changed hands and the new owner has
reconsidered the three -story housing design. The new owner would like to construct smaller
two -story single family attached homes and compensate for additional parking by using
unnecessary space in the cul de sac. The fire district reviewed preliminary plans to incorporate a
turnaround as part of a new parking lot for the development. The PUD amendment will be
considered by the Planning Commission in July and, if approved, the right -of -way for the cul de
sac could be vacated by the City Council in favor of a parking lot and a turnaround.
ORS 271.130 grants the City Council the authority to initiate vacation proceedings and approve
such a vacation without petition or consent of property owners. There are three steps to a city
initiated vacation as follows:
1. By resolution, set a date to hold a public hearing. The purpose of the public hearing is to
take testimony from affected property owners on the merits of the vacation;
2. Hold a public hearing to take testimony (oral and /or written) on the proposed vacation; and
3. Based on the outcome of the public hearing, direct staff to prepare a resolution to approve,
or deny the vacation.

RE: Revisions to the Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Central Point and
Rogue Valley Sewer Services regarding the temporary delegation of stormwater quality
SUMMARY:
The Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Rogue Valley Sewer Services (RVSS) and the City of
Central Point was established to govern how the City and RVSS agree to collaborate on stormwater
quality management until Central Point is issued a stand -alone National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System ( NPDES) Phase II permit. At the time the IGA was established, both organizations anticipated
a timely issuance of the City's NPDES Phase II permit; however, the State has decided to substantially
amend the program and estimates at least a 2 -year timeline until the permit is issued. The IGA has
been amended to establish a new compensation schedule that more accurately reflects the distribution
of responsibilities between RVSS and the City, and references a new Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) that further clarifies those responsibilities.
Amendments to the IGA include:
• Revised compensation from $58K a year to $45K per year;
• Compensation provisions provide ability for RVSS to request additional payment provided that
detailed cost statements are provided; and
• Clarified roles and responsibilities established in a new MOU.
In summary, the MOU establishes the following:
• RVSS is the permit holder and is responsible for program administration including
implementation and enforcement of the construction, post- construction and illicit discharge
detection and elimination programs in accordance with RVSS Chapter 4.05. RVSS also
prepares and submits quarterly reports to the City on activities implemented, as well as the final
annual report to DEQ.
• The City is responsible for collecting, budgeting, and managing the stormwater quality revenue
and is responsible for administering, developing and implementing the municipal
operations /pollution prevention and public outreach and involvement programs. The City bears
the sole responsibility for developing and implementing the Stonnwater Master Plan including
the Capital Improvement Plan. Quarterly reports will be provided to RVSS regarding the
activities implemented by the City.
CAP061313 Pg. 103
The IGA will remain in effect until the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality issues the City's
stand -alone NPDES Phase II permit or equivalent general permit coverage. At that time, the City will
take on full responsibility for all activities associated with stormwater quality and monthly payments to
RVSS for temporary program administration will cease.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the amended Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Central Point and Rogue
Valley Sewer Services regarding the temporary delegation of stormwater quality management and the
new Memorandum of Understanding for Establishing Stormwater Management Roles and
Responsibilities.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
This Memorandum of Understanding is made and entered into this day of , 2013
by and between the City of Central Point ("City ") and Rogue Valley Sewer Services ("RVSS ")for the
purpose of establishing the roles and responsibilities for stormwater management to support the
Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Central Point and Rogue Valley Sewer Services
Regarding Temporary Delegation of Stormwater Quality Management.
Both parties acknowledge that the City intends to obtain stand -alone permit coverage under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) Phase II program and that the timeline for
permit issuance has been delayed due to unanticipated administrative program changes by the Oregon
Department of Environmental Quality. Furthermore, both parties acknowledge the need for and mutual
benefit afforded by collaborative implementation of stormwater management services that meet the
existing NPDES Phase II permit requirements in accordance with the Intergovernmental Agreement
between parties.
In this spirit of mutually beneficial cooperation, the roles and responsibilities for stormwater
management are established for each party as set forth below.
Roque Valley Sewer Services
RVSS is the NPDES Phase II permitee on behalf of the City and has legal authority to implement and
enforce stormwater management activities pursuant to RVSS Code Chapter 4.05. In accordance with
the role described herein, RVSS' stormwater management responsibilities shall include:
1. Administration, implementation, enforcement and reporting for the following programs in
accordance with RVSS Code Chapter 4.05
a. Construction Site Runoff Erosion Control Program
b. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Program
c. Post Construction Stormwater Management
2. Collaborative planning and implementation of public involvement and outreach activities with the
City.

CAP061313 P, 111
City of Central Point
The City owns and operates the storm drainage system within the city limits; however, the City currently
lacks legal authority in the Central Point Municipal Code to implement and enforce stormwater
management activities provided in RVSS Code Chapter 4.05. Until NPDES Phase II permit coverage is
provided by DEQ and legal authority is established, the City's stormwater management responsibilities
shall include
1. Compliance with the performance standards and criteria associated with the construction site
runoff, post - construction site runoff, and illicit discharge detection and elimination programs
administered by RVSS on behalf of the City.
2. Development, administration, and implementation of the City's Pollution Prevention and
Municipal Operations Program.
3. City will fund, organize and implement three public education and outreach projects including
at least one event within the City each year. Outreach projects and events will target Central
Point residents, business owner and visitors; and will address topics that promote awareness
of stormwater, pollution prevention practices, water quality and any other topic that is
relevant to the 6 minimum measures covered by the NPDES Phase II permit. RVSS will
provide a supporting role to public education and outreach events run by Central Point.
4. Development and implementation of the City's Stormwater Master Plan, including but not
limited to capital construction and maintenance of stormwater quality and quantity facilities.
5. Submission of quarterly reports: The City will provide a summary of education and outreach
projects and events implemented, as well as any other activity implemented pursuant to this
Memorandum of Understanding and the Intergovernmental Agreement.
6. Collection and management of stormwater quality fee revenue including development and
administration of the stormwater quality budget in accordance with the compensation
provisions of the Intergovernmental Agreement between the parties, the City's financial
policies and stormwater quality program objectives.
This Memorandum of Understanding shall serve as the basis for defining stormwater management
roles and responsibilities until the Intergovernmental Agreement is terminated or mutually agreeable
amendments are adopted.
