The City shall relq-area iIq-en require property owners to naaster• 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, a~ the I-5 Freeway and the airport related to industrial development, and Pine Street/Head Road for commercial, off ce-professional and tourist development.) Pg.

Pg.X-21 CIRCULATION/TRANSPORTATION (SECTION XI) OTHER FACILITIES RAILROAD Paragraphs 1 & 2 The Cenh~al Oregon & Pacific Railroad (formerly Southern Pacific Railway) serves 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 siftean# role in the area's economy and serve the industries that are located along its route, mostly within the present City limits.
