STAFF REPORT
June 3,2014
ITEM:
Urban Growth Boundary Amendment involving URA CP-4D,Discussion of Motion to initiate UGB
Amendment following action by Central Point City Council. Applicant: City of Central Point
STAFF SOURCE:
Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department has been working with the owners of Combined Transport for
over a year in an effort to relocate their business on Highway 62 to property they own at the Seven Oaks
interchange. Combined Transport has operated in the Rogue Valley for over 30 years and its owners are
natives of Central Point. They're outgrowing their facility on Crater Lake Highway and would like to
move to a location closer to Interstate 5 where they can expand.The Seven Oaks interchange provides
better access to a state artery and the company would also realize a cost savings in fuel at this location.
The zoning on their property(EFU)prevents this company from developing their business in the County
but expanding the UGB and City zoning to the site would enable them to proceed. CP-1 B was classified
in the Regional Plan as an employment center over which Central Point would ultimately have planning
jurisdiction.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council initiated the UGB Amendment process last August by adopting a Resolution of Intent.
Since then the Department has prepared various documents to satisfy Regional Plan conditions and to
ultimately amend the Urban Growth Boundary. The Planning Commission has already seen some of these
documents in draft form. Staff expects to bring a Conceptual Land Use and Transportation Plan for CP-
4D to the Commission in July.
ISSUES:
When the Council adopted their resolution of intent, they identified the Tolo Area (CP-1 A) in general and
not CP-4D specifically. The UGB needs to be expanded through CP-4D in order to create a contiguous
boundary. Staff thought it would be prudent for the Commission to adopt its own resolution of intent in
order to affirm the Council's intent to include CP-4D. Both the Council and the Commission are
authorized to initiate Comprehensive Plan Amendments per CPMC Chapter 17.96.020.A. After the
Council's intent is affirmed, staff will introduce the first of two Conceptual Land Use and Transportation
Plans to the Commission.
ATTACHMENTS:
