ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT (SECTION VI)
HISTORY OF CENTRAL POINT
THE RAILROAD
The impact of the railroad on the communitya was significant in the past. It was
primarily responsible for the short life of the Old Central Point and the new direction of
community growth and development after sinee the 1880s. The railroad ~:~~
remains important to the wood products industry and other industries located along it but
to a lesser extent today than in the past, °°a ••-~" °-°`=---•~ `~ '-~.
POLICIES FOR NOISE REDUCTION
Policies:
The City shall rely-heavify-en require property owners to master plan the
land use and design of new developments to control and minimize noise
through such requirements as site orientation, buffering, distance
separation, insulation, or other design features.
ECONOMICS (SECTION IX)
PLANNING AND REGULATION
Policies:
Continue to emphasize the need to maximize the potential of major
existing facilities that represent major public investments, but are
presently under-utilized. (Emphasis on railroad, highway 99, artd the I-5
Freeway and the airport related to industrial development, and Pine
Street/Head Road for commercial, office-professional and tourist
development.) Pg. IX-24

Policies:
c. The City will continue to plan for new industrial development but rather
than limit development to land that is located adjacent to rail facilities,-arm
the City will also encourage industrial development in the vicinity of
highways and airports-enet~~-~~3~eieirt-rail €reigkt-ttm~spert. Pg.X-21
CIRCULATION/TRANSPORTATION (SECTION XI)
OTHER FACILITIES
RAILROAD
Paragraphs 1 & 2
The Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad (formerly Southern Pacific Railway) selves the
Central Point area and parallels Highway 99 through the community. The railroad played
a key role in the City's development during the late 1800s and into this century. The
original City grid pattern of streets was laid out shortly after the rail line was built.
The railroad no longer provides passenger service to Central Point or the Rogue Valley,
the Central Point depot is not longer in existence. However, the rail facilities still play a
role in the area's economy and serve the industries that are located along its
route, mostly within the present City limits. P---•~-••- °`--a=-°'-°-•~ :~a~~-~~a "--` "-~ -~~'

of life for local residents.
