VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS, ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. Ordinance No. 1988, Deleting Section 9.54.020 Drunkenness of the Central Point Municipal Code
Chief Allison explained that this is the second reading of an ordinance deleting section 9.54.020 of the Central Point Municipal Code. Judge Charter has informed the city that CPMC 9.54.020 is in violation of ORS 430.402(1) which
provides that any person who is intoxicated or under the influence of controlled substances in a public place may be taken or sent home or to a treatment facility
by police.
Deletion of this section does not limit an officer’s ability to be effective regarding
issues of intoxicated individuals in our city. They have a wide variety of options
CAP061214 Page 2
City of Central Point City Council Minutes May 8, 2014
Page 2
they can utilize at their discretion. There were no recommended changes at the first reading.
Rick Samuelson moved to approve Ordinance No. 1988, Deleting Section
9.54.020 Drunkenness of the Central Point Municipal Code. Kelly Geiger
seconded. Roll call: Hank Williams, yes; Bruce Dingler, yes; Kelly Geiger, yes; Allen Broderick, yes; and Rick Samuelson, yes. Motion approved.
B. Public Hearing – First Reading of an Ordinance Amending CPMC 17.05, Applications and Types of Review Procedures: Chapter 17.08,
Definitions; Chapter 17.10, Zoning Map and Text Amendments and Chapter 17.96 Amendment to the Comprehensive Land-Use Plan
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey explained that this is a public
hearing and first reading of an Ordinance to amend Chapters 17.05, 17.08, 17.10 and 17.96 of the Central Point Municipal Code.
The Planning Commission reviewed amendments clarifying and updating language relative to changes in the state land use laws. Inconsistencies with the
City’s code were brought to our attention upon the submission of an Urban Growth Boundary Amendment to Jackson County. The Commission held public hearings for the process and recommended approval by the City Council.
City Attorney Sydnee Dreyer has one recommended a change to page 44,
17.05.400 (D)(1)(d) in the packet. Her recommendation is to leave the word
“shall”, instead of changing it to “may”. The state mandates that it must say shall.
There was discussion on quasi-judicial vs legislative procedures. The Council is
concerned that land use decisions will be removed from their approval process. The council still wishes to be involved in items that will affect the entire city. Mr.
Broderick would like to see variances come before the City Council for review,
not limited to staff or Commission review only. Staff assured the Council that any significant variance would be addressed by the City Council and the Planning
Commission. Mr. Humphrey can return to the Council with options for planning decisions and Council concerns.
Mayor Williams opened the public hearing. No one came forward and the public hearing was closed. Allen Broderick made a motion to move to second reading an Ordinance Amending CPMC 17.05, Applications and Types of Review Procedures:
Chapter 17.08, Definitions; Chapter 17.10, Zoning Map and Text Amendments and Chapter 17.96 Amendment to the Comprehensive Land-Use Plan With recommended change as stated by City Attorney. Kelly
Geiger seconded. Roll call: Hank Williams, yes; Bruce Dingler, yes; Kelly Geiger,
yes; Allen Broderick, yes; and Rick Samuelson, yes. Motion approved.
C. Public Hearing – Resolution No. 1394, Approving a Supplemental Budget for the 2013/2014 Fiscal Year
CAP061214 Page 3
City of Central Point City Council Minutes May 8, 2014
Page 3
Finance Director Bev Adams explained that the High Tech Crime Unit fund has
received approximately $150,000 more in Federal Operating Grant money than anticipated. The original budget for this grant item was $20,000; we have now received just over $170,000. Staff requests the Council appropriate an additional
$150,000 to that line item.
The Highway 99 Beautification Project also requires additional appropriation.
This Street Fund project, beginning in FY 2012/13 and continuing into 2013/14 did not progress on schedule. Due to unforeseen weather conditions and right-of-
way acquisition issues, the project was delayed resulting in higher expenses.
Staff is requesting that Council appropriate an additional $110,000 into the Street Capital Outlay and $85,000 into the Street SDC Capital Outlay to cover final
expenses on the Highway 99 Beautification Project. The revenue to offset these
increases will come from the Street Fund carryover.
Mayor Williams opened the public hearing. No one came forward and the public hearing was closed. Kelly Geiger made a motion to approve Resolution No. 1394, Approving a Supplemental Budget for the 2013/2014 Fiscal Year. Rick Samuelson
seconded. Roll call: Hank Williams, yes; Bruce Dingler, yes; Kelly Geiger, yes;
Allen Broderick, yes; and Rick Samuelson, yes. Motion approved.
D. Resolution No. 1395, A Resolution and Notice of Intent to move to a Biennial Budget
Mrs. Adams explained that in recent years several Oregon cities and districts
have moved from an annual budget cycle to a biennial cycle. Some of the benefits of moving to a biennial election are:
• Encourages long range financial planning
• Longer term stability of operations
• More flexibility for capital projects
• Avoids the time and workload associated with an annual budget
• Oregon state government and PERS budgets are biennial
• Increased time to focus on service and program management
• Cost savings in budget notices, documents and meetings
The legal requirements for our city to move to a biennial budget are:
• Council declares the intent by approval of resolution
• Citizen appointments to the budget committee become 4 year terms
• The city’s municipal code references to an annual budget will be modified There are no documented down sides to moving to a biennial budget. All
resources that she has contacted have had positive recommendations for the process. It may require additional work and a period of adjustment for the first
presentation.
There was discussion regarding the possible lack of public involvement. Mrs.
Adams stated that the same notices will be published and citizens will have
CAP061214 Page 4
City of Central Point City Council Minutes May 8, 2014
Page 4
the same opportunities to attend the budget meetings. The Charter actually states that the City Manager will prepare and administer an annual budget.
The city will be preparing two annual budgets adopted at the same time. He will continue to update the council regarding the budget, funds, and expenditures. This option will allow more control if it looks like we are having
large expenditures in one year, the next would see less spending or we will have the ability to adjust projects to meet the income.
Staff would create a bi-annual report to be sent to the budget committee to keep them informed on how the city is doing. Council suggested that they see
updates on anything over a 5% change. Staff could include in an ordinance
amendment, the requirement of a bi-annual report to be sent to the budget committee.
Bruce Dingler moved to approve Resolution No. 1995, A Resolution and Notice of Intent to move to a Biennial Budget. Kelly Geiger seconded. Roll
call: Hank Williams, yes; Bruce Dingler, yes; Kelly Geiger, yes; Allen Broderick, yes; and Rick Samuelson, yes. Motion approved. E. Resolution No. 1996, A Resolution Approving the Seven Oaks Interchange Area Management Plan (IAMP35) Adopted by the
Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) Mr. Humphrey explained that over the course of several years the Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODOT) has been preparing an Interchange Area
Management Plan for the Seven Oaks/I-5 interchange (IAMP35). ODOT has been coordinating their efforts with the city on the proposed plans. The final draft
of IAMP35 has been reviewed by the City and determined to be consistent with
what has been discussed over the last few years.
As a condition of the City’s Regional Plan Element it is necessary that we adopt
the IAMP35 prior to the expansion of the UGB into CP-1B. The proposed resolution directs staff to incorporate the IAMP35 into the City’s Transportation
Systems Plan (TSP) at a later date. The purpose of IAMP35 is to improve the performance and safety of the
Interstate Highway and to protect the function of the interchange. The Plan includes a list of proposed improvements to I-5, Blackwell/Kirkland Roads, Local street networks and Highway 140 options.
IAMP35 addresses actions by ODOT, Jackson County and the City. For the City
there will be recommendations for two new streets paralleling Blackwell Road,
the rerouting of Dean Creek Road, and the closure of the Seven Oaks Rail Crossing. The Planning Commission has recommended adoption of the IAMP35
and recommends that the City amend the Transportation System.
There was discussion about Exit 33 and any recommended changes to that
intersection which is so vital to Central Point. They discussed other transportation
issues around Pine Street and the intersections of Biddle and Table Rock Roads.

Kelly Geiger moved to approve Resolution No. 1396, A Resolution Approving the Seven Oaks Interchange Area Management Plan (IAMP35) Adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC). Bruce Dingler
seconded. Roll call: Hank Williams, yes; Bruce Dingler, yes; Kelly Geiger, yes;
Allen Broderick, yes; and Rick Samuelson, yes. Motion approved.
VIII. BUSINESS A. Planning Commission Report
Mr. Humphrey presented the Planning Commission Report from May 6, 2014:
• The Commission reopened a Public Hearing and forwarded a favorable recommendation to the City Council to approve Municipal Code
Amendments to Chapters 17.05 Applications and Types of Review
Procedures, Chapter 17.08 Definitions, Chapter 17.10 Zoning Map and Text Amendments and Chapter 17.96 Amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Map. They discussed minor revisions made since their last meeting. These changes resolve some internal inconsistencies that are holding up a UGB application the City is
processing with Jackson County.
• The Commission considered a Resolution making a recommendation to
the City Council to adopt ODOT Interchange Area Management Plan
(IAMP35). This plan is the result of several year’s collaboration regarding the interstate ramp 35. The Commission recommended approval of the
IAMP and follow-on inclusion in the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
• There was general discussion of a draft proposal to create interim water
service and development standards for the Tolo Urban Reserve Area (CP-1B). The Commission directed staff to schedule a public hearing to review and make a recommendation to the Council at their meeting in
June.
• The Commission was presented with a draft concept plan for Urban
Reserve Area (CP-4D). The Commission directed staff to distribute the plan to affected agencies and the public for review and comment.
• The Commission discussed whether they would like to begin their meetings in the future with the Pledge of Allegiance and an invocation. A recent decision handed down by the Supreme Court precipitated this
interest. The consensus was that the June meeting would open with the Pledge and that another conversation about an invocation would take
place once the full commission was present.
IX. MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Williams reported that he attended the Budget Committee meetings; and
two water commission meetings. He attended the Rogue Valley Realtor Annual
Awards dinner, and a meeting at the City of Medford presented by the Oregon Liquor Control.

X. CITY MANAGER’S REPORT City Manager Chris Clayton reported that:
• Several staff members attended two presentations on website hosting
and design. The City will be contracting with Aha Consulting for a new website.
• Mr. Samitore attended a Rogue Valley Public Works Director meeting. It looks like the City of Medford will be trying to get a .03 cent gas tax in
place. They plan to reduce the street utility fee in order for this to pass. If they are not successful in implementing the tax they will be increasing the utility fees. They would like to see Central Point and Eagle Point
implement the same tax.
• He has been working on the Chamber Visitors Information Agreement.
• There is still interest by RCC to locate a campus in Central Point. There will be a presentation to the RCC Board in May regarding the latest
concept.
XI. COUNCIL REPORTS
Council Member Rick Samuelson and Council Member Allen Broderick attended
the Budget Committee Meetings.
Council Member Kelly Geiger stated that there are some re-organization efforts
happening at the Central Point Chamber. He will keep the Council informed on those changes.
Council Member Bruce Dingler stated that he attended the April 21st Budget Committee Meeting.
XII. DEPARTMENT REPORTS
Police Chief Allison reported that:
• They held the Volunteer Chiefs Luncheon. This showcases their efforts
and what the volunteers provide to the city.
• She attended the OLCC meeting in Medford. It was a good dialog to have
the OLCC Chair come to the area and facilitate communications between
the state and local communities. We have always had a great partnership with OLCC. There was discussion controls for Medical Marijuana
Dispensaries. It looks like OLCC will take charge of regulating the dispensaries.
• Weekend events were Citywide yard sale, CERT Exercise event, Bobbi0s
block party and Crater Prom. It was a busy weekend for her department.
• Tomorrow is the DARE Graduation for Mae Richardson; Council
members are welcome to attend. We are still the only Police Department in the valley that continues with the DARE program.

STAFF REPORT
June 12, 2014
AGENDA ITEM:
Second Reading to Approve Amendments to Chapters 17.05 Applications and Types of Review
Procedure, 17.08 Definitions, 17.10 Zoning Map and Text Amendments, and 17.96 Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan of the Zoning Code; Applicant: City of Central Point.
STAFF SOURCE:
Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department introduced the Municipal Code Amendments (listed below) to
clarify and update code language relative to changes in the state land use law. Inconsistencies with the
City’s code were brought to our attention upon the submission of an Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) Amendment to Jackson County. Changes should be made in order for our two processes to coincide and
to minimize the possibility for appeal.
The chapters affected are:
17.05 Applications and Types of Review Procedure;
17.08 Definitions; 17.10 Zoning Map and Text Amendments; and
17.96 Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan of the Zoning Code. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on April 1, 2014 and reviewed the proposed
amendments. Some revisions were made at the meeting and the amended ordinance was reconsidered at the Commission meeting in May at which time they recommended approval to the City Council. The City Council conducted a public hearing and first reading on May 8, 2014. The City Attorney recommended
staff make minor revisions to the 120 Day Rule referenced in the document which has been done.
ISSUES:
The Planning Commission reviewed these amendments without objection and unanimously recommended
approval. The proposed changes were also sent to the Department for Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) who had no comment in favor of or opposing the code changes.
EXHIBITS/ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment “A” – Ordinance No. _____, An Ordinance Amending the Central Point Municipal Code
Chapter 17.05, Applications and Types of Review Procedures; Chapter 17.08, Definitions; Chapter 17.10,
Zoning Map and Text Amendments and Chapter 17.96 Amendment to the Comprehensive Land-Use Plan ACTION:
Consider proposed amendments and 1) approve the ordinance, 2) make revisions and approve the ordinance or 3) deny the ordinance.

industrial use; or a spatial change that affects large areas or many different
ownerships.adoption of land use regulations, zone changes, and comprehensive
plan amendments that apply to entire districts, rather than just one property).

minimize impacts and protect transportation facilities.
This chapter establishes the standards for when a development proposal must be reviewed for potential
traffic impacts; when a traffic impact analysis must be submitted with a development application in order
to determine whether conditions are needed to minimize impacts to and protect transportation facilities;
what must be in a traffic impact analysis; and who is qualified to prepare the study.
A. When a Traffic Impact Analysis is Required. The city shall require a traffic impact analysis (TIA) as
part of an application for development, a change in use, or a change in access in the following situations:
1. If the application includes residential development, a TIA shall be required when the land
usedevelopment application involves one or more of the following actions:
a. A change in zoning or a plan amendment;
b. An increase in site traffic volume generation by two hundred fifty (250) average daily trips
or more;
c. An increase in peak hour volume of a particular movement to and from the State highway
by twenty (20) percent or more; or
d. An increase in use of adjacent streets by vehicles exceeding the twenty thousand (20,000)
pounds gross vehicle weights by ten (10) vehicles or more per day;
2. If the application does not include residential development, a TIA shall be required when a land
use application involves one or more of the following actions:
a. A change in zoning or a plan amendment designation;
Page 44 of 53
CAP061214 Page 103
EXHIBIT “A – PROPOSED AMENDMENTS”
Dated: June 12, 2014
b. Any proposed development or land use action that a road authority, including the city,
Jackson County or ODOT, states may have operational or safety concerns along its
facility(ies);
c. An increase in site traffic volume generation by two hundred fifty average (250) daily trips
(ADT) or more;

pounds gross vehicle weight by ten (10) vehicles or more per day;
f. The location of the access driveway does not meet minimum sight distance requirements, as
determined by the city engineer, or is located where vehicles entering or leaving the property
are restricted, or such vehicles queue or hesitate on the state highway, creating a safety hazard
in the discretion of the community development director; or
g. A change in internal traffic patterns that, in the discretion of the community development
director, may cause safety problems, such as back-up onto a street or greater potential for
traffic accidents.
B. Traffic Impact Analysis Preparation. A traffic impact analysis shall be prepared by a traffic engineer or
civil engineer licensed to practice in the state of Oregon with special training and experience in traffic
engineering. The TIA shall be prepared in accordance with the public works department’s document

STAFF REPORT
June 12, 2014
AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of a Resolution to Amend the Community Development Department Fee Schedule for
Building Permits and Planning Fees
STAFF SOURCE:
Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND:
The City’s new Building Official, Derek Zwagerman, has proposed updating the fee schedule for building permits in Central Point. Derek has been conscientious about updating and improving various systems in
the department since his arrival. The Oregon Building Codes Division encourages the use of a uniform
fee methodology and this has served as the template for the changes being proposed in the attached resolution. A typical permit for new construction consists of building, plumbing, electrical and
mechanical inspection fees. The mechanical fees are the only ones that are changing significantly in this
process and then there will only be a 0.5% increase in the total cost for a permit.
Other fee changes address instances where the City has been using a flat “Special Inspections” fee where
it should be using a more specific fee methodology for things like changes of occupancy, tenant improvements, fire alarm permits, etc. The last time the Building Fee schedule was amended by the City
Council was in June 2001. The Planning Fee Schedule revisions are largely intended to simplify fees by ‘rounding off’. There is one
case where a category has been added to recover costs that weren’t being charged for map and plan extensions.
ISSUES:
There don’t appear to be significant issues with this process. If anything, the Department expects to receive the enthusiastic support of the Building Codes Division.
EXHIBITS/ATTACHMENTS:

Department Fee Schedules for Building Permit-Related Fees and Planning Fees.
ACTION:
Consider proposed fee schedule amendment and approve as is or with revisions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. _______, A Resolution Amending the Community Development
Department Fee Schedules for Building Permit-Related Fees and Planning Fees.

ATTACHMENT ___A______
RESOLUTION NO.____________
A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FEE SCHEDULES FOR
BUILDING PERMIT-RELATED FEES AND PLANNING FEES
RECITALS:
A. The Central Point City Council (the “Council”) originally approved Resolution No. 910 amending
various building permit fee schedules in June 2001 and has made no subsequent amendments
to stay current with the State’s Uniform Fee Methodology; and
B. The Uniform Fee Methodology provides predictability for customers and will assist contractors
calculating bids; and
C. ORS 455.210(3) allows municipalities to adopt “reasonable fees” to provide for the
“administration and enforcement” of the building code program.
D. The Central Point City Council (the “Council”) originally approved Resolution No. 1123 adopting
planning and public works fees in September 2006 based on work conducted by a consultant to
determine reasonable hourly billing rates and cost recovery; and
E. The City has only once amended the Planning Department billing rates in 2013 to add a planning
review fee for Sidewalk Cafés; and
F. The Community Development Department finds it desirable to simplify the planning fees by
rounding off those fees and by adding to or subtracting fees from the fee schedule; therefore
The City of Central Point resolves as follows:
Section 1: The City Council of the City of Central Point, Oregon amends the Building Permit Fee
Schedule, Exhibit A, Amending Existing Fees and Adding Others Consistent with State Uniform Fee
Methodology.
Section 2: The City Council of the City of Central Point, Oregon amends the Planning Fee Schedule
Exhibit B, Amending Existing Fees and Adding Others to address cost for services.
Passed by the Council and signed by me in authentication of its passage this ____ day of _________,

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MATT SAMITORE, DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: Temporary Street Closure request for Arroyo Drive, between 10th Street and Hermosa
Drive. SUMMARY: The residents of Arroyo Drive are requesting street closure on July 4. 2014 from 12PM
to 12 AM to do a 4th of July Block Party. The applicants would need rent their own barricades as all
City Equipment is in use that day. No City staff is involved in the event.
Staff recommends a modified approval. Staff suggests granting approval only if half of the street is open for the entire time to allow for vehicular access to the area.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Staff recommends the temporary street closure with modifications.

Ornamental Street
Light Fee
CAP061214 Page 128
STAFF REPORT
DATE: MAY 19, 2014
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MATT SAMITORE, DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: Discussion on Ornamental Street Light Fee
SUMMARY: In 2001 the City adopted requirements for ornamental street lights to be used within the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) of Twin Creeks. In monitoring the power usage, it has been determined that on average the cost for replacing utility poles, maintaining burnt out lights and
maintenance of the 300+ lights is costing $6,000 a year. This does not include the personnel costs.
With the advent of another TOD (East Side TOD) developing in the relative near future, staff would like council to consider adopting a fee for all new subdivisions where ornamental streetlights will be placed. This fee would be implemented prior to the completion of the last subdivisions with the Twin
Creek Development as well as the new East Side TOD.
An additional phase of the proposed decorative street light fee would include a “walk-in” for those areas where ornamental streetlights already exist, such as the current neighborhoods of Twin Creeks, Blue Grass Downs and Pheasant Creek Estates. Staff suggests a five-year walk-in on the
fee for current residents.
The City of Medford established a similar fee called the Pedestrian Street Light Utility in 2002. In Medford, the cost was established at an additional $4.50 per dwelling. Central Point’s costs are significantly less than Medford’s. In analyzing our bills from Pacific Power the power costs are
$3.16 per pole per month, plus an additional $1.41 per pole for maintenance, i.e. replacing bulbs,
broken pieces, poles, bases, etc. Each pole provides light for a minimum 6 units at a cost of $0.76
per unit. However, the City has already established a Pacific Power franchise fee that basically covers the power costs. In analyzing the current amount spent per year annually, the cost per
existing unit is approximately $0.24 cents per month. The reason for the lesser cost is that we are
requiring LED lighting for newly constructed lights and the Central Point lighting standard is 100’
spacing versus Medford’s 80’.

CAP061214 Page 129
Staff would like discussion about establishment of a new fee of $0.25 per unit for all new subdivisions in which ornamental streetlights are required. This would be the rest of Twin Creeks,
the unincorporated area North of Cascade Meadows Subdivision and the East Side T.O.D. This
would allow the City to recover the hard costs associated with maintaining the lights. The fee would
not support staff time associated current service levels. Staff would also like Council to discuss the merits of a five-year walk-in for existing subdivisions that
have ornamental lights. The schedule would be $.05 per year for 5 years. Year one = $0.05, Year
2 = $0.10, Year 3 = $0.15, Year 4, $0.20 and Year 5 = $0.25.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend council to consider the information provided and
provide staff with direction on the proposed fee.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
Date: June 12, 2014
To: Honorable Mayor & Central Point City Council
From: Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director
Subject: Planning Commission Report
The following items were presented by staff and discussed by the Planning Commission at a
regularly scheduled meeting on June 3, 2014.
A. Consideration of Resolution No. 802, A Resolution of Intent to Amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Add Land from Urban Reserve Area CP-4D
to the City’s Urban Growth Boundary. When the City Council adopted their
Resolution of Intent to amend the UGB last August, they identified the Tolo Area in general but not CP-4D specifically. The first phase of the UGB amendment involves CP-4D and creates a contiguous boundary to Tolo and CP-1B. Staff introduced this
resolution to have the Planning Commission affirm the Council’s intent to include CP-
4D in the UGB amendment. The Commission voted unanimously in favor of this
resolution. B. Consideration of Resolution No. 803 forwarding a favorable recommendation to the City Council to consider amendments to Municipal Code Title 17 Adding
Section 17.60 Interim Water Service/Development Standards to the Zoning Code. File No. 14007. The introduction of these changes to the municipal code would allow an interim water service solution to those individuals currently pursuing a UGB expansion into the Tolo Area until such time as the City’s Water Service can be
extended to serve the employment-based uses in CP-1B. The Commission voted
unanimously in favor of this resolution.
C. Consideration of an Ordinance to amend CPMC Title 15 Buildings and Construction, to conform to State Building Code Revisions and Updates. The
Commission reviewed the changes being proposed by staff and questioned whether
more substantial changes than the UBC code references should be made. There appear
to be outdated sections that should be removed as well. A recommendation on the ordinance was postponed to address this concern.
The Commission opened their meeting with the pledge of allegiance and continued their
discussion about an invocation. No consensus was arrived at and no decision was made.
