Recommendations of the study were to review water rates as needed for future years, adopt revised System Development Charges (SDC), update SDC's annually, and monitor water use for the system by individual customer classes.

The Cities cost to purchase water is expected to increase 61 % from 2002 through 2007. This increase is due to rate increases and additional usage.

First Reading - An Ordinance Amending the Twin Creeks Master Plan Land Use Map and Open Space Map, and the Central Point Zoning Map to Correct Noted Discrepancies in the Twin Creeks Master Plan - Mr. Humphrey explained that the proposed zone change request is subject to the __ Twin Creeks Master Plan adopted by City Council in December, 2000. The Plan was created to serve as a general guide for development of Twin Creeks. As development has occurred, it has become apparent that periodically there will be a need to consider minor amendments to the Plan. The City has received a request to rezone 1.34 acres from TOD-0S to TOD- LMR. During review of the Twin Creeks Master Plan, a discrepancy was discovered between the Plan's Land Use Map and the Plan's Open Space Map. The total area in question accounts for approximately 5.08 acres, including the 1.34 acres proposed to be rezoned. Staff is requesting that 1.34 acres of the property be rezoned. It is also proposed that the plan's Open Space Map be modified to designate the remaining approximate 3.74 acres of the property as Open Space consistent with the Plans land use map. This recommendation does not remove open space from Twin Creeks it just reassigns it to another location. Dick Halley made a motion to move to second reading an Ordinance Amending the Twin Creeks Master Plan Land Use Map and Open Space Map, and the Central Point Zoning Map to Correct Noted Discrepancies in the Twin Creeks Master Plan.

Public Hearing -First Reading of an Ordinance Amending the Central Point Zoning Map West of Grant Road and North of Beall Lane City of Cenb~l Point Cnrmri/Minutes fuly 13, 2006 Page 4 Mr. Humphrey stated that the subject property was annexed with R-1-10 zoning on January 12, 2006.

The change is consistent with the Low Density Residential designation. There are adequate public facilities to service the property at the higher density. Property immediately north of the project are zoned R-1-8. It is a high probability that the land to the south and east, which are currently zoned R-1-10, wilt request a similar change in zoning.

Public Hearing -First Reading of Nine Ordinances Amending Title 16 and Title 17 of the Central Point Municipal Code Planning Manager Don Burt explained that This is the third set of legislative amendments being presen#ed to the City Council. There are nine separate Ordinances included in these amendments. These changes have been reviewed by the City's legal counsel and both the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and the Planning Commission. The changes were supported by each group with some minor mod~ca#ions which will be pointed out by staff. The information for definitions were taken from ICSC comparisons Amendment No. 1. Section 17.08.010 Definitions, Specific. Updates the description of General Definitions, alphabetize and add definitions for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU); Anchor Tenant; Retail Establishments, large; Shopping Center; Shopping Center, Anchor Tenant Ratio; Shopping Center, Community; Shopping Center, Neighborhood; and Shopping Center, Regional. The new definitions are self explanatory and have been discussed with the Planning Commission. This amendment modernizes the description of general definitions and defines terms used in the ordinance that have not been clearly defined, or defined at all. Amendment No. 2. Sections 17.32 C-N, Neighborhood Commercial District. Replaces the term "convenience shopping center" with "neighborhood shopping center" and allows neighborhood shopping centers as a permitted use. The amendment aligns the purpose of the C-N district with the new neighborhood commercial definition and aNows neighborhood shopping centers as a permitted use. Amendment No. 3. Section 17.44, C-4, Tourist and Office Professional District. Eliminates description of community shopping center as a shopping center and introduces the use of large retail establishments of 80,000 sq. ft. or less as a permitted use. This clar~es the description of a community shopping center per the revised definition in Amendment No. 1 and a{lows for large retail establishments. City of Central Point Cnnncil Minutes ,Ju/y 13, 2006 Pale 5 Amendment No 4. Section 17.46 C-5, Thoroughfare Commercial District Allows community shopping centers and large retail establishments of 80,000 sq. ft. or less as a permitted use and allows regional shopping centers and large retail establishments greater than 80,000 sq. ft. as a conditional use. Amendment No. 5. Section 17.77.005 through 17.77.070 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). Currently the use of an ADU is limited to the Transit Oriented Development zoning district or in older parts of town where they have been grandfathered in, and introduces the ADU to other parts of Central Point where they can meet the general and special provisions. Amendment No. 6. Section 16.36.040 Flag Lots. This modifies an existing subdivision code provision that requires a newly created lot to be twice the area of the minimum lot size. The new language limits the number of lots that can use the "Flag Pole° access to two and stipulates private driveway improvement standards. The amendment also uses an illustration to minimize confusion. Amendment No. 7. Section 17.36 C-2, Commercial Professional District This deletes Section 17.36 C-2 which was technically deleted by the Council in 2000 with the adoption of the new Employment Commercial and General Commercial zoning districts in the TOD and TOD Corridor. The C-2 district was never deleted from the text of the zoning code. Amendment No. 8. Section 17.40 C-3, Downtown Business District Deletes section 17.40 C-3 which was technically deleted by the City Council in 2000 with the adoption of the new Employment Commercial and General Commercial Zoning districts in the TOD and TOD Corridor. The C-2 district was never deleted. Amendment No. 9. Section 17.12.020 Zones -Classification. This deletes references and follow-on explanation of C-2 and C-3 zones which were taken off of the zoning map when the City Council adopted the new Employment Commercial and General Commercial zoning districts in the TOD and TOD Corridor. Council would like to see the verbiage "Designed to provide convenience shopping for the day-today needs of consumers in the immediate Neighborhood" to the Neighborhood Shopping Center definition. Council would like to change the requirements for ADU's to one covered parking similar to the TOD. Mayor Williams opened the Public Hearing. :. David Painter, Resident Mr. Painter stated that he feels the Council should establish policy. There should be language included to make sure the CAC and Planning Commission do not undercut the Council's intent with these amendments.
