interest or ex-parts communication.
Tom Humphrey reviewed the Planning Department Staff Report and
.~
;,
City of Central Point
Planning Commission Minutes
May 5, 1998 -Page 2
explained that the City is required to meet with the Jackson County
Planning Commission for joint City/County review and amendment of the
urban growth boundary and -policy amendments. Major revisions in
boundary or policies will be considered amendments to both the City and
County comprehensive plans and, as such, are subject to a legislative
review process. The City is not proposing any changes to the Urban
Growth Boundary at this time but is proposing amendments to Sections
A, B and C of Policy 9 dealing with specific Bear Creek Corporation
properties which are already in the City's UGB.
Tom explained that the land use amendments are broken down into four
geographic areas in he northwest, south, southeast and northeast of the
city and discussed the changes in each area.
Tom read into the record a letter from the Bear Creek Orchards
concerning the economic life of the orchards on the property affected by
Policy 9.
Tom suggested discussing the Policy 9 amendment and the
Comprehensive Plan separately.
Chairman Piland opened the public hearing on Policy 9.
Craig Stone, agent for Reddaway Trucking, Bear Creek Orchards and
Harry & David stated that several people want to address the Policy 9
amendment and the comprehensive plan together, but recommended that
an independent decision be made on Policy 9. Mr. Stone stated that Bear
Creek Orchards/Harry & David, because of urbanization around them were
looking for other land to farm in an area with substantially greater acreage
and which is not threatened by urbanization. Mr. Stone also discussed
what he understood to be a State comprehensive planning concern
namely the redesignation/rezoning of industrial land along the railroad. He
identified various large parcels of vacant industrial land in White City with
rail access and talked about the attractiveness of developing
unincorporated land that has ample infrastructure and pays no municipal
taxes. White city has become on of the region's industrial centers. Mr.
Stone entered into the record a Transportation Impact Study for entire
Central Point Rezone prepared by Hardy Engineering and Associates.
Laurel Prairie-Kuntz stated that Jackson County Lands and Parks has
asked for time to review the Traffic Impact Study and prepare a response
to the Oregon Department of Transportation.
Tom Humphrey read into the record a letter from Central Oregon and
Pacific Railroad dated May 4, 1998 concerning the proposed rezoning of
n
City of Central Point
Planning Commission Minutes
-May 5, 1998 -Page 3
Industrial to Residential Properties. Their primary concern is safety and
improved access either by upgrading existing public crossings or adding
new ones.
Tom stated that the city has had another separate transportation study
done by RVCOG, the results of which were included in the packet. Also
entered into the record was a letter from the Oregon Department of
Transportation dated May 1, 1998 asking for two weeks to review and
analyze the draft Transportation Impact Study, and a letter from Bob
Quillen of Central Point concerning the Area #2 Proposed Zone Change.
Mike LaNier, P. 0. Box 4368, Medford, OR., agent for the Batzer
property, stated that they supported the staff proposals. He asked that
the Batzer property be included in the commercial rezoning orientation
schedule for the rest of the property in that area. Mr. LaNier placed into
record Findings of Fact for John Batzer, Petitioner in the Matter of a
Proposal to Amend the General Land Use Plan Map for The City of Central
Point in Area #3.
Herb Farber, 675 Glenn Way, Central Point, agent for W. L. Moore
Construction, stated that the Moores own the bulk of Area 1. Area 1 is
surrounded by schools. He stated that from a citizens standpoint, it is a
wise move to resdesignate industrial land in Area 1 to residential uses.
The Moores are making application for a railroad crossing on Front Street.
They will work on safety aspects with the railroad, a sound wall will be
constructed and a potential landscaping buffer. They are looking at a
small commercial zone in the vicinity of the railroad crossing for small
mom & pop type businesses. They feel with 50 homes they won't need a
signalized railroad crossing, but as the area develops and the need arises,
they are prepared to do what needs to be done and can contribute toward
signalization. Herb stated that. they are applying to the PUC and ODOT
but will still need a traffic study. They are looking at about two acres
fronting along the railroad for commercial use and an undetermined
amount of land, also along the railroad, designated for a park. He will
get something more specific prepared in the next two weeks for the
commission.
Tom Humphrey introduced some additional information taken from a
technical background paper from the Oregon Department of
Transportation which discusses different modes of transportation
including rail. He stated that another railroad crossing was inferred in the
correspondence from the railroad and was also included in the EMME/2
model run done by Rogue Valley Council of Governments.
Tom Humphrey read into the record a letter from Mr. Antone Pedersen,
n
City of Central Point
Planning Commission Minutes
May 5, 1998 -Page 4
4269 Grant Road, Central Point, dated May 4, 1998 concerning the Area
M-1 Zone Change. Mr. Pedersen stressed the importance of good long
range planning in Area #1.
Ron Reames, Rogue Valley Bin, 1824 Taylor Rd. Central Point, OR stated
that he wanted to make sure that changes in Area #1 will not adversely
effect their business.
Sharon Boyd asked when City water and sewer would be brought close
to properties on Table Rock and Biddle Roads.
Tom Humphrey described the process and the possible time-line for the
water and sewer through the subdivision on Hamrick and Biddle Roads.
Chairman Piland closed the public hearing associated with Policy 9.
Chairman Piland declared a break at 8:48 p.m.
Chairman Piland called the meeting back to order at 9:00 p.m.
Commissioner Fish made a motion to adopt Resolution 419 recommending
that the City Council approve the recommended changes to Policy 9 as
outlined on Pages 16 and 17 of the Planning Commission packet. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Curtis. ROLL CALL: Curtis, yes;
Fish, yes; Foster, yes.
Laurel Prairie-Kuntz stated that Jackson County Road and Parks said they
do not have a concern with Policy 9 but would request not making a
decision until the Transportation Impact Study has been reviewed and
analyzed.
Don Green stated that Policy 9 changes will not affect Jackson County's
ability to make a decision on transportation in the area.
Craig Stone, agent for USF Reddaway, stated that his client has an urgent
need; their lease in Medford will expire in a couple months and it will not
be renewed. They are in a desperate need in regard to timing and the
development of land already zoned for Industrial use I Area #3.
Laurel Prairie-Kuntz stated that the language the Jackson County Planning
Commission is uncomfortable with is in Paragraph A. She suggested
eliminating paragraph A and renumbering the subsequent paragraphs.
Reeve Hennion moved to recommend that the Jackson County Planning
Commission adopt the revised wording for Policy 9 as recommended by

Summary
The applicant,' Michael Sulli"van is requesting that an existing wo story house located on
property the Planning Commission has approved' for subdivision be allowed to be moved
elsewhere on the site, specifically Lot 21 (refer to Exhibit A, tentative map).
01
tAi ho itv
CPMC 1.24.020 vests the Planning Commission with the authority to hold a public hearing
and render a decision on any application for a tentative subdivision. Notice of the public
hearing was given in accordance with CPMC 1.24.060. (Exhibit B).
Annlicable Law
CPMC 16.10.010 et seq.- Tentative Plans
Discussion
The Planning Commission may recall that it reviewed and approved a Tentative Plan for
Shelterwood on October 21, 1997. At that time it was generally agreed and stipulated in the
conditions of approval that, among other things; single family, one-story homes would be
built on the site even though it is zoned R-2. Furthermore, of the two residential lanes
permitted, the applicant would build a sidewalk on the south side of Greenleaf Lane with a
crosswalk in the area of Lots 11 & 12 (refer to Exhibit C, Planning Commission minutes).
The decision to build one-story single-family homes appears. to have been influenced by
neighbors; and was also a conscious choice by the developer. As the time has neared for final
platting and the construction of improvements, Mr. Sullivan has stated that he intended an
existing house (shown on the tentative map in the Shelterwood Drive right-of--way) be
relocated on the site to future Lot 22 (refer to Exhibit D, Memo from Lois DeBenedetti). The
house in question is a two-story dwelling and it is staff's understanding that Mr. Sullivan has
been speaking to the neighboring property owners who have not objected to his proposal.
This is the only two-story house planned in the subdivision.
L The project site is located in an R-2, Residential Two-Family Zoning District but the
applicant has stipulated and the City wnditioned approval of the tentative map upon the
censtruction ofsingle-family one-story homes.
The project site is located in an R-2 zoning district in which the construction of single-
family dwellings is permitted. There is currently and was at, the time of tentative map
approval a two story dwelling located on the site however it was not shown to remain.
2. The relocation of an existing two-story dwelling is acceptable to neighboring
property owners for whom single-story homes were originally stipulated and will not lead
to the construction of additional-two-story houses in this subdivision.
02
M
The applicant has spoken with neighboring property. owners however the Planning
Department has not yet received any correspondence indicating that there is no
objection to the relocation of an existing two-story dwelling from its current location
to future Lot 22 on Arborwood Lane. The Commission may be able to make this
finding from evidence and/or testimony presented at the public hearing.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take one of the following actions:
1. Adopt Resolution No. , approving a revision to the Tentative Plan and conditions for
Shelterwood; or
2. Deny the proposed revision;, or
3. Continue the review of the requested revision at the discretion of the Commission.

Value Indicated by the Cost Approach: $
INCOME APPROACH
The income approach as used for investment property is
based upon the assumption that value is set by the investment
needed to acquire a project that has an equally. desirable net
income flow. This approach is accomplished by the estimation of
economic rent, less vacancy and credit loss, and less expenses,
for a net income which is capitalizing or converting the expected
future net income into a present value estimate.
There was insufficient data to properly develop the Income
Approach. Single-family residential lots in this area are not
rented or leased, but are sold in fee simple estate. Therefore,
there is no net rental income to capitalize or discount. -
DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
This approach has as its premise the idea that an investor
will pay no more for a property than it would cost to purchase an
equally desirable property without undue delay in the open
market. -In developing this approach the following were complet-
ed:
1. An estimate of the gross selling price for the
subdivision lots.
2. An estimate of the present value of the gross sales.
A'.> Discount the gross sales, by using comparable sales.
B. Discount the net cash flows from the lot
sales to present. value. eriod of the lots.
1) Estimate the absorption p
2) Deduct holding costs and selling. costs from
sale price for the holding period.
3) Discount the net sash Flows to a present value
estimate.
3. Correlate and estimate-the gross-.value and discounted
value.

Property
Description/ 37 2W10AA Tax Lot 300- 0.09 acres
C-3, Downtown Business District
mun
The applicant, Tom Casey has requested a Site Plan Review for an Espresso Drive Thru cart'
that he would like to locate near the intersection of West Pine and North First Streets on an
undeveloped lot in the Downtown Business (C-3 zoning) District (refer to Exhibit A).
Authority
CPMC 1.24.020 vests the Planning Commission with the authority to hold a public hearing
and render a decision on any application for a Site Plan Review. Notice of the public hearing
was given in accordance with CPMC 1.24.060: (ExhibitB).
Agnlicable Law
CPMC 17.40.010 et seq.- C-3, Downtown Business District.
CPMC 17.72.010 et seq: Site Plan, Landscaping and Construction Plan Approval
Comprehensive Plan Historic Policy #2, Page V1-74
1~
Although the proposed business activity is a pernvtted use in the C-3 zoning district, CPMC
17.72.020 requires that the City perform a site plan review for all construction requiring a
building permit or which is a change of use, In this case the project site is an undeveloped
vacant lot measuring 140 feet long by 27.5 felt wide. Historic photographs indicate that it
was probably part of the Memtt Building's yard. The development of the property and
establishment of the espresso business constitutes a change of use.
The mobile espresso cart proposed is manufactured by Caffeine Machines in Portland and
has the standard features listed in the building plans attached to Exhibit A. The 128 square
foot unit has two opposing service windows and is designed to be entirely self contained with
a 60 gallon fresh water holding tank and a 70 gallon holding tank for waste water. Electrical
service would be provided by the local utility provider. The applicant has not indicated any
definite signage or color of the building at this time.
Mr. Casey has indicated that he would like to pave the majority of the lot with asphalt and
providetwo-directional travel from a curb cut along North First Street and an alley at the rear
of the site. First Street does have garb and gutter but no sidewalks. The Public Works
Department has a few requirements that they.would like to see implemented with any new
development and these are listed as conditions in Exhibit C. The Department also believes
that the site plan configuration places vehicles in the 8 foot wide driveway too close to the
property line.
The Jackson County Health Department is concerned about the lack of restroom facilities on
site. However health regulations allow access to a restroom within five minutes or one half
mile from the espresso cart. In the neighboring communities of Medford and Ashland,
similar espresso businesses have been located near existing restroom facilities such as gas
stations or other business activities. If this project were approved, the applicant would need
to provide City staff with evidence of compliance from the Jackson County Health
Department.
Neighboring. business owners from the Merritt Building have expressed concern about the
development of theproject site for a variety of reasons. The Commission may recall that at
their last meeting, a letter was introduced by Steve Shearer to substantiate the fact that the
Merritt Building is on the National Historic Register (refer to PC minutes and Exhibit E).
Mr. Shearer lives in the Merritt Building (a mixed commerciaUresidential use) and would
prefer not to have vehicles passing by his windows to use the Espresso Drive Thru. He has
introduced an alternative site plan (Exhibit F) which proposes moving. the cart closer to the
First Street property line and having walkup traffic on one side and one-way vehicle traffic
on the other. The remainder of the property wuld be lawned or landscaped.
ei
Comprehensive Plan policies encourage the City to work toward zoning ordinance
amendments that ...ensure that significant sites or structures will be adequately addressed
in terms of their value to the community and state whenever they are threatened by
demolition, reconstruction, major remodeling or adjacent development: ' In this case, staff
believes that asemi-permanent use like the Espresso Drive Thru, if developed tastefully, can
enhance and not detract from the Merritt Building's historic significance. The-proposal
submitted by the neighbor is a reasonable alternative and could also include tables, benches,
or other street furniture in the vicinity of the Merritt Building patio (Exhibit F).
Staff has not yet spoken with the applicant about an altemative but has made efforts to
contact him and will attempt to schedule a meeting prior to the Commission hearing.
Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law
In approving, conditionally approving or denying the plans submitted, the City bases it's
decision on the following standards from Section 17.72.040:
A. Landscaping and fencing and the construction of walls on the site in such a manner as
to cause the same to. not substantially interfere with the landscaping scheme of the
neighborhood, and in such a manner to use the same to screen such activities and sights as
might be heterogeneous to existing neighborhood uses. The Commission. may Yequire the
maintenance of existing plants or the installation of new one for purposes of screening
adjoining property:
^ .The applicant depicts a single tree located south of the mobile cart. The lot has
potential for additional landscaping and outdoor sitting areas that would
encourage pedestrian patronage.
B. Design, number and location of ingress and egress points so as to improve and to avoid
interference with the traffic flow on public streets;
^ The project would take access to North First Street via a curb cut that must
.meet Public Works Standards. This includes, but is not limited to; a sia foot
wide sidewalk, and a standard driveway approach. There are no objects that
confiicf with the required 55 foot clear vision area along East Pine Street.
C: To provide off-street parking and loading facilities and pedestrian and vehicle flow
facilities in such a manner as is compatible with the use for which the site is proposed to be
used and capable of use, and in such a manner as to improve and avoid interference with the
traffic flow on public streets;.
14
^ The facility is designed as a drive up unit and is exempt from the off street
parking requirements under the provisions of the C-3, Downtown Commercial
district.
D. Signs and other outdoor advertising structures to ensure that they do not conflict with or
deter from traffic' control signs or devices arr21 that they are compatible with the desigmof
their buildings or uses and will not interfere with or detract from the appearance or visibility
of nearby signs;
The literature provided by the cart manufacturer depicts signage positioned on
the side of the structure. All signage will require a permit from the Central
Point Building Department.
E. Accessibility and sufficiency of fire fighting facilities to such a standard as to provide for
the reasonable safety of life, limb and property, including, but not limited to, suitable gates,
access roads and fire lanes so that all buildings on the premises are accessible to fire
apparatus;
^ Construction and positioning of the mobile cart would be subject to applicable
building code and fire 'ode requirements. The City Planning and Public Works
Departments pr0fer a single driveway arrangement. Jackson .County Fire
District Number 3 will require a fire extinguisher and legible address.
F: Compliance with all city ordinances and regulations;
^ The proposed construction meets the minimum setback requirements for the
C-3, Downtown Business District.
G: Compliance with such architecture and design standards as to provide aesthetic
acceptability in relation to the neighborhood and the Central Point area and it's environs.
^ The vinyl lap siding and pitched roof are generally complementary to the
surrounding structures. Site landscaping and the minimal development of the
front of the lot (along Pine Street) would enhance the aesthetic value of the
project.

HEARING
DATE: May 19, 1998
TO: Central Point Planning Commission
FROM: Tom Humphrey, AICP
Planning Director
SUBJECT: Public Hearing- Amendment to the Site Plan and Conditional Use
Permit for the Walnut Grove Manufactured Home Park.
Qpnlicantl Walnut Grove Village Partners

Description/ 37 2W 02 Tax Lot 100- 32.20 acres
Zonin¢: R-3, Residential Multiple-Family District
The applicant, Walnut Grove Village Partners, is proposing amendments to the Site Plan for
the Walnut Grove Manufactured Home Park located near the intersection of West Vilas and
Hamrick Roads. Amendments include moving the clubhouse buildings and park area to the
Vilas Road entrance and using the existing clubhouse site for RV parking and seven (7)
additional manufactured home spaces (see Exhibits A, B & D)
CPMC 1.24.020 vests the Planning Commission with the authority to hold a public hearing
and render a decision on any application for a Site Plan Review. Notice of the public hearing
was given in accordance with CPMC 1.24.060. (Exhibit C).

CPMC 5.32.010 et seq.- Mobile Home Parks
CPMC 17.28.010 et seq.- R-3, Residential Multiple-Family District
CPMC 17.72.010 et seq: Site Plan, Landscaping and Construction Plan Approval
CPMC 17.76.010 et seq: Conditional Use Permits
Discussion
The Planning Commission initially approved the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan for
a 193 unit Manufactured Home Park in July 1997. Six months later, the Commission
approved an amendment to New Haven Estates. (an adjoining subdivision) resulting in the
conveyance of an additiona12.5 acres to Walnut Grove Village: The additional acreage was
approved as a recreational vehicle storage area for the park'. The RV storage area was to be
enclosed with a masonry wall along Hamrick Road and included other conditions noted in
the Planning Commission minutes (refer to Exhibit E).
It is staffs understanding that several factors led to this request for a site plan revision: 1)
approval of the pond, originally planned for the clubhouse and open space area, could not
be obtained from the irrigation district; 2) relocation of the clubhouse/park site will be more
attractive at the entrance to the village; 3) internal RV storage will be more secure, private
and accessible to village residents in the park's interior; and 4) the applicants want to add
seven additional manufactured home spaces.
Since this project was last discussed at the Planning Commission, the applicants have
prepared a boundary line adjustment but have not yet transferred a 20-foot Hamrick Road
right-of--way dedication from the New Haven Subdivision to the Walnut Grove Village
property. The property line adjustment increases the total mobile home park land area to
34.7 acres which, when. the density is calculated, allows up to 202 MHP spaces. The
applicant wishes to increase the number of spaces from 193 to 200 with this site plan
revision.
The-relocation of the RV storage area is a more aesthetically pleasing arrangement than
having it along Vilas Road which is elevated and from which the RV's would be noticeable.
The new parking area will accommodate approximately 96 RV's and is adjacent to five
residential lots in the New Haven Estates subdivision. A sight obscuring fence is planned
around the mobile home park perimeter. The exception to this is the masonry wall on New
Haven and Hamrick Roads mentioned earlier. The applicants are now depicting a vinyl
coated fence with slats` in place of the masonry wall.. ' The Commission will need to
detemune whether to authorize this change as part of the site plan revisions. The New Haven
Estates subdivision will still have a masonry wall along Hamrick.
32
In the course of scheduling this item for the Commission hearing the Planning Department
received correspondence from property owners on Gebhard Road (see Exhibit F). Most, if
not all of the issues raised in the enclosed letters were'discussed during the initial approval
of the Walnut Grove Village CUP and Site Plan and are mitigated by public works
conditions that have been adopted by the City, The applicants will be expected to adhere to
previous conditions of approval unless they ardmodified by the Planning Commissionand/or
City Council.
Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law
1. The project site is located in an R-3, Residential. Multiple-Family District and the
project and proposed revisions are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The project is consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies which encourage a range
of housing types, styles and costs including manufactured homes. It is also consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan Map which designates the project site as High Density
Residential
2. The project involves the revision of a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan to
establish a 200 unit mobile home park.
The site plan includes all information required by the CPMC. The proposed
manufactured home park falls within the comprehensive plan density requirement for
the R-3 zone which is a maximum of 25 units/acre. CPMC Chapter 5.32 actually limits
mobile home park density at a maximum 6 units per acre and the total number of units
allowed given this stipulation is 202.
3. The applicant has satisfied previous City conditions/requirements including, but not
limited to: a boundary line adjustment and transfer of a 20-foot Hamrick Road right-of--way
dedication from the New Haven Subdivision to the Walnut Grove Village property; the
conditions adopted by the Commission on July I5, 1997 and theroonditions associated with
modifications to the Site Plan adopted on January 20, 1998.
The conditions of approval adopted by the Planning Commission on January 20, 1998
are listed in Attachment E. The applicants have submitted their improvement plans
to the City and they are being reviewed for consistency with the conditions previously
imposed by the Commission and City Council. Some improvements have been deferred
to a later date while others including drainage are being worked out by the developer.
Staff will have a copy of the conditions from earlier staff reports should the
Commission need to refer to them at the meeting.
33
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission ake one of the following actions:
L Adopt Resolution No. ,approving revisions to the Site. Plan and. Conditional Use
Permit for Walnut Grove Village Manufactured Home Park, based on the findings of fact
contained in the record and subject to the recommended conditions of approval (Exhibit G);
or
2. Deny the proposed Site Plan revisions; or
3. Continue the review of the Site Plan and Conditional Use permit revisions at the discretion
of the Commission.

TIME - ~S°° i4"'
Euclosed you will find the application and maps as per your request for the site plan amendment
for Walnut Grove Village.
At our ast hearing when we acquired additional land on Hamrick Road and New Haven Drive,
we asked the council to allow us to put our RV storage. is that azea. That amendment was
approved but. the two concerns that the City Council members brought up were 1) having RV's
parked at the front entrano, and 2) security for the RV storage.
In order to improve the design of the pazk we would like to make three {3) amendments to the
site plan:.
1) To have the clubhouse amenities and open space up in the front along New Haven Drive.
This will make for a very attractive entrance way to Walnut Omve Village and allows
more functional use' of the area. This clubhouse and open space area consists of more
square footage than was submitted in the previous-plan.
2) To move the storage to a more secure and private area; This will be accomplished by
having the RV parking in the middle of the park with security gates-:and fencing.
3) Adding. seven spaces. It should be noted that we meet all of the zoning criteria to
allow the addition ofthese seven spaces. Also, the property that we acquired from New
Haven Estates already had approval for seven lots upon the property that we are now
putting the clubhouse, therefore, the total density of both projects does not increase.

Skyrman stated that he did not realize the significance of this until others
mentioned the size, the allergens and the. leaf drop of these particular trees.
Karolyne Johnson came in at 7:20 p.m.
Mr. Skyrman stated that he would be satisfied with only the Photinia Hedge.
He would like for them to remove the trees or replace them with a much
smaller tree, possibly a Golden Gingko,
Carl Skyrman, Lucille, Idaho, brother to Mr. Wally Skyrman, stated the he is a
practicing landscape architect. He stated that one of the biggest Issues with
the trees is the size. It is not a tree to put in a confined area, next to a
sidewalk, curb or paving because of the root system. It puts out a lot of shade
and would severely impact the hedge. The root system would also damage
any water pipes underground.
Shannon Bennett, Jacksonville, Or, stated that the Golden Gingko is a very
good tree, but they need to specify male trees rather than female trees.
Commissioner Dunlap made a motion that the Planning Commission
recommend that the Oregon State Police remove the London Plane trees a.k.a.
Bloodgood Sycamore trees on the north side of the property, let the Photinia
hedge grow enough to cover the fence area, and, if the State wants to replace
the trees, replace them with a smaller tree, possibly a Golden Gingko. Motion
was seconded by Commissioner Johnson. ROLL CALL: Dunlap, yes; Fish, yes;
Foster, yes; Gilkey, yes; Johnson, yes.

Jim Bennett reviewed the Planning Department Staff Report. New Haven
Estates would eliminate Lots 1 through 7 south of New Haven Road and
transfer ownership to the Walnut Grove Village Mobile Home Park via a lot line
adjustment. There are a few areas of concern: (11There is a 16-foot
easement proposed for access from the mobile home park to the RV storage
area. The City feels it needs to be a 20-foot easement and the Fire District
concurs; (21 If the entrance to the RV storage area is gated and locked, the
Fire District would like to have a lock box on it or some kind of device so they
have access to it; (31 This area would be for RV storage only and there-would
be no occupancy allowed in any vehicle in that area; (4) Thls area was to have

a masonry sound wall when it was apart- of the New Haven Estates
subdivision. The appflcant has assured the City they would still build the sound
wall and would continue it around the R.V. storage area along New Haven
Road all the way. up to the entrance of the mobile home park so that it would
be completely screened from the roadway. The City would like a minimum
height of 8 to 10 feet for the wall to adequatelyscreen the R.V.'s.
Tom Humphrey, Planning Director, stated that there is a visibility issue with the
masonry wall"and it might be an appropriate location for an entry sign or
landscaping with low shrubs.
Herb Farber, 120 Mistletoe Street, Medford, OR, agent of record for New
Haven Estates, stated thero will be no problem with giving a 20-foot easement.
There is enough space to accommodate that.
Commissioner Fish stated that there has to be an adequate sight triangle at the
intersection of New Haven Road and Hamrick Road.
Herb Farber stated that the mobile home park would be responsible for
dedicating, by deed, the 20-foot additional right-of-way for Hamrick Road. The
engineering and design for the intersection, road improvements, and the wall
will have to be reviewed and approved by the engineering department to make
sure that the sight triangle is free and clear. It is the Intent of the applicants
to do some landscaping along the wall when it is built. The applicants have
stipulated that they are willing to build an 8-foot wall and whatever style is
chosen will be used for all of the frontage of both the mobile home park and
subdivision. He stated that on lots 15, 16, 17 and 18 they dropped one lot
and changed the alignment of the lot lines.
Commissioner Gilkey made a motion to adopt Resolution 412, amending
Resolution 403, approving the following modifications to the Tentative Plan for
New Haven Estates: 11 Lots 1- 7 and Lot 15 are eliminated; 2) Lots 8 - 14 are
renumbered Lots 9 - 15; 31 Lots 16 - 18 are reconfigured and will require
driveways ffiat ere curved to provide proper access to Hawthorne Way; 41 The
20-foot dedication of street right-of-way along Hamrick Road for Lots 3 - 7 is
removed contingent upon transfer of ownership of Lots 1 - 7 to the Walnut
Grove Village Mobile Home Park and completion of a lot line adjustment.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Fish. ROLL CALL: Dunlap, yes; Fish,

RE: Meeting regarding Walnut Grove Mobile Home Park, May 19, 1998
Dear Mr. Humphrey,
City of Cintral E'oint
EII~I'T t,F tf
Planning Department
We are unable to attend the above mentioned hearing but would like to note our concerns regarding this
development.
We own 5 acres located on Gebhard Road west of the Walnut Grove development This was part of the
original Walter Gebhard orchard (the land now being developed) and was deeded to my wife in 1977 by
her father, Walter Gebhard. It had a bardett pear orchard on it until last year (1997) when we had to have
the orchard pulled because we could find ho one who was interested in continuing to maintain an orchard
of such a small size. The Walnut Grove development presents several concerns to us:
#1. Adequate drainage requirement. The land being developed has always drained to the west, however
when it was being farmed, the soil was able to absorb the rainfall without flooding our property. With the
total parcel now being black-topped, there will be no place for the water to drain, except toward our 5
acres. We understand that there will be a requirement to provide facilities to prevent our property from
being flooded. We hope that these facilities will be adequate for even the heaviest rainfall years.
If a deep ditch to carry this wastewater is constructed (as has been mentioned as a possibility) just to the
north of our property line, we would expect that the ditch would be constructed in such a way as to not
interfere with the drainage we now have into the current ditch.
#2. Sewer hookup. There is presently a sewage pumping station located on the extreme northeast
comer of our property. This provides us with the opportunity at some later date to tie Into the sewer. We
want asurance that the opportunity to connect with the new sewer line will still exist.
#3. We presently have water rights on our flue acres and want to retain these rights. Therefore, there will
need to be provision made to continue irrigation water delivery to the ditch bordering Gebhard Road on
the east of our property.
#4. We hope that we will be kept apprised of how the above problems are being addressed. While we
cannot attend this meeting because of prior commiltments, our property is probably the one most affected
by this development and is of vital concern to us.
In closing, we want to commend Mr. Ken Gerschler, who has been most gracious and helpful when we
have talked with him on two separate occasions when we have made the trip to Central Point to find out
what we could about this development. Thank you for addressing the above concems.

DATE: May 19, 1998
TO: Central Point Planning Commission
FROM: Tom Humphrey, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Cgntinuatign of Public Hearing for Comprehensive Plan Amendments
As the Commission is aware, the public hearing for the Cgmprehensive Plan Amendments being
proposed by the Gity was continued tq your meeting of May 19th. The primary reason for this
was to allow the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to comment on the Traffiq .
Impact Study prepared by Hardey Engineering (see Exhibit A). The-.city has not yet received
any comments from ODOT but will provide these to you if they are available for the meeting.
The Planning Department has however received other correspondence since your last public
hearing. The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DECD) has completed its
review of the planned amendments and has several issues they would like the City to address
(refer to Exhibit B). The issues are identified and discussed below. The City also received a
letter from Jeannie Savage regarding the rezoning of property she owns on the northwest corner
of Biddle and Table Rock Roads in Area #4 (Exhibit C).
The decision made at the last public hearing to recommend approval of Policy 9 Amendments
has moved quickly through the Jackson County process and the Jackson County Planners
completed their findings and decision paperwork on May 14th. Once the City Council and
County Board of Commissioners can schedule a joint meeting the Urban Growth Boundary
Agreement will be amended. I have enclosed a copy of the bound Comprehensive Plan Policy
Revision for your use (Exhibit D). Even though you have already acted upon revisions to the
agreement, the document contains colored maps, a Vacant Commercial and Industrial Land
Inventory and other information that may be of interest to the Commission.
Discussion
DECD Correspondence
DECD has raised several issues including maintenance of a Jobs and Housing Balance,
preservation of Rail-Served Industrial Sites and compliance with the Transportation Planning
Rule (TPR). City staff is working on a response to the issues raised by the State and as you know
two different traffic analyses have already been performed. Evidence has been entered into the
record regarding the TPR and the Rail issues and City staff intends to have additional
information to submit to you on May 19th. I encourage the Commission to review the excerpts
~~
from Harding Engineering TIS in Exhibit A. It is consistent with the Traffic Analysis performed
by RVCOG, goes into more detail at intersections, defines the levels of service (LOS) before and
after the Plan Amendments and was actually prepared under the direction of ODOT.
City staff will present new evidence to support testimony received at your last meeting regarding
the regional industrial land inventory and other issues raised by DLCD. These two issues were
previously. discussed in your last staff report under Statewide Planning Goa19 -Economic
Development (findings). We have enclosed the May 5th staff report at the back of your
binder and will use the findings and conclusions in that document to assist ypu in making a
decision.
Other Correspondence
The Commission discussed recommendations made by the Citizen's Advisory Committee and
you may recall the request made in Area #4 to change C-1 zoning on the northwest corner of
Biddle and Table Rock Roads to M-1. Staff is not in favor of this and in response Ms. Jeannie
Savage has requested the Commission consider an amendment from C-1 to C-5 instead. The
Planning Department's primary interest is in maintaining consistent and compatible zoning in
this area as it will become Central Point's eastern "gateway". If the Commission believes that
the C-1 and C-5 zoning designations will be reasonably consistent and compatible with other
changes being proposed, you have the prerogative to recommend this ohange to the City Council.
As stated above, any decision made by the Planning Commission should be based upon findings
of fact. Staff has prepared findings (located in the back of your binder), which canoe used as is
or with revisions, should the Commission chose to proceed in making a recommendation to the
City Council.

RE: Traffic Impact Study -Zone Change
Central Point, Oregon
Deaz Craig,
Hazdey Engineering & Associates is pleased to submit for. your review one copy of the Traffic
Impact Study for the re-zone in Central Point.
This study is to determine the anticipated traffic impacts the proposed zone change could cause
on the surrounding street system through Central Point.
Traffic analysis was performed for existing and proposed conditions. To determine potential
build-out we looked at undeveloped land and generated traffic for their appropriate land-use
using trip generation rates which agreed with Central Point's zone requirements. For comparison
purposes, we assumed full build out as of today. This includes present traffic added to existing
zoning atfull build out;. or existing traffic added to the proposed zoningat full build out.
PROJECT CONDITIONS
Currently there aze 377 acres in Central Point with proposed zone changes. These lots are
located along Highway 99, Table Rock Road and Pine Street. The majority of the lots are
proposed to change from Industrial to Residential, or Residential to Industrial zoning. Presently
41.7 of these acres are already operating at the proposed zone.
The expected traffic generation rates for the proposed zone changes were obtained from the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (I'TE), Trip Generation, Sth Edition. These rates were
multiplied by the acreage or units per acre to determine daily and peak hour volumes.
The following tables show traffic generation rates used to determine traffic volumes for the
existing and proposed zones.

Since all residential zoning had previously.been determined by dwelling unit rather than acreage
we multiplied the trip generation rate for dwelling unit by the amount of dwelling units
,permitted by Central Point's zoning ordinance. Also, the lots proposed to become C-2 and C-4
'are expected to be built out as'an office building and a motel. Trip generation rates for these lots
'. were determined based on an' 80,000 square foot office building and a 40 room motel with. 80 J

ERISTING STUDY AREA CONDITIONS
The following key intersections were studied to determine transportation impacts associated
with re-toning and growth in the surrounding area:
1. Highway 99 & Senic 7: Pine & Penninger
2 Highway 99 (Front) & Pine 8. Pine & Hamrick
.
3. Highway 99 & Beall 9. Pine.& Table Rock
4 Pine & Freeman 10. Biddle & Airport
.
5. Pine & I-5 south tamps 11. Table Rock & Vilas
6. Pine & I-5 north ramps
TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION
In determinitig traffic movements, PM Peak Hour movements were used to analyze the eleven
(11) intersections along Highway 99, Pine Street,, and Table Rock Road. Traffic movement at
the key.intersections was`designated by the percentage of turning and..through movements of
actual traffic behavior observed at those intersections.
To ease the task of traffic distribution, nine blocks were assigned. (Map of blocks at end of
report.) Three of these blocks are already operating at the proposed zoning. These blocks; D,
E, and G were eliminated from the traffic analysis:for full build out, both of the existing zoning
and for the proposed zoning as they arealready accounted for in the background traffic. The
acreage of the six remaining blocks were then multiplied by the trip generation rates to
determine the traffic volumes leaving and entering each block. The ADT, AM Peak Hour
InlOut, and PM Peak Hour In/Out volumes can be seen in the following tables.

Traffic movements in and out of blocks A, B and C were based on the generaitrafficbehcvior
of the surrounding streets and similar intersections like those that would be found accessing
these blocks. The location of schools, shopping, nearby towns, and the freeway were also taken
into consideration in determining the direction of the traffic.
In appraising the destination of traffic from Blocks F, H and I we analyzed the intersections of
Hamrick and East Pine, and Hamrick and Table Rock Road. We concluded that traffic would
be traveling toward three main directions, these are White City. Central Point, and Medford.
For outbound traffic is was determined that 29°l0 of traffic was traveling toward Medford, 60%
toward Central Point, and 11% toward White City. Of inbound traffic, 26% migrated from
Medford, 48`~ from Gemral Point, and 26% from White.City. These percentages, were then
used to decide the direction of traffic leaving the said blocks either. turning left or right,-'and
their behavior through the key intersections.

LOS ANALYSIS
The standard used to evaluate traffic operating conditions of the transportation system is referred to
as the level of service'(LOS). "Level of service" is defined as those operational conditions withina
traffic stream as perceived by users of the traffic facility. It is a qualitative measure of operational
measures such as speed and travel time, delay, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, wmfort
and convenience, and safety. There are six levels of service, "A" through "F". Level of service"A"
is the highest quality of service a street can provide. It is a condition of free flow in which there is
little or no restriction on speed or maneuverability caused' by the presence of other vehicles. Level
of service "F" is the worst for uninterrupted flow and describes forced-flow operations. Common
practice for traffic engineering is to use a LOS "D" for the standard minimum LOS. This standard
is often used for the planning and design of transportation facilities.
Level of service results under existing conditions, existing zoning at full build out, and proposed
zoning at full-build out are listed in the following table.

As can be seen in the table, all intersections are expected to operate at better levels of service under
the proposed zone change:
Both intersections that are two way stop controlled were also analyzed as signal controlled
intersections. As can be seen in the following table, both intersections improved greatly.

ZONE CHANGE IMPACTS
Traffc generated by the proposed zone change does not decrease the level of service at any of the
key intersections more than the existing zoning will. Of the intersections that will be operating at
acceptable levels of service, the majority of the intersections operated at one level of service higher
at the proposed zoning than at the existing zoning at full build out.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of the analysis, Hardey Engineering & Associates believes that the proposed
zone change decrease the overload on the surrounding street system in comparison to the existing
zoning.....

DEPARTMENT OF
LAND
CONSERVATION
AND
DEVELOPMENT
Dear Tom:
We have recently received several proposed plan amendments and zone
changes for review. These are:
• Replan/rezone 156 acres of land in "area 1"from industrial use to
residential use, located between Highway 99 and Grant Road (DECD file
#001-98);
• Replan/rezone 31 acres of land in "area 2" from light industrial use to
residential and commercial use, located near Highway 99 and Beall Lane
(DECD file #002-98);
• Replan/rezone 148 acres of land in "area 3" from light industrial, residential
and open space use to industrial and commercial use, located at Table
Rock Road and Hamrick Road, south (DECD file #003-98);
• Replan/rezone 12 acres of land in "area 4" from residential use to
commercial and industrial use, located on Table Rock Road, near Schultz
Rd. (DECD file #004-98);
These proposed changes are related because the changes in industrial,
commercial and residential acreages need to "balance" so that the city continues
to have a twenty year supply of land for residential, commercial and industrial
use.
Jobs and Housing Balance
Statewide Planning Goals 9, 10 and 14 require the city to provide
a twenty year supply of residential, industrial and commercial lands.
The net effect of these proposed amendments will be to decrease 1° Govemoraber
the amount of industrial land within the city's urban growth boundary
by 104 acres, increase the amount of. commercial land by 32 acres
and increase the amount of residential land by 94 acres.

Tom Humphrey -2- May 6, 1998
To justify this plan amendment, the city must demonstrate that, after losing 104
acres of industrial land, it will still have enough land to meet future employment
and industrial land needs (see OAR 660-09-025). In addition the city must
demohstrate a need for the additional residential (see OAR 660-08-010) and
commercial acreage
If the city does not maintain a balance of jobs and housing, it will tend to increase
the number of work trips to other employment sites in the metropolitan area,
making it more difficult for the,region to meet its transportation objectives.
Rail Issues
Rail-served Industrial Sites. Area 1 is a large industrial site which has access
to the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad, Highway 99 and Interstate 5 (via
Hwy. 99). In addition,. Area 1 meets federal and state air quality standards and,
therefore, is not limited in its development potential as are several other sites in
the region. Based on these factors, Area 1 may be one of the best sites in the
region for rail-oriented industrial development.
The Oregon Rail Freight Plan states (page 2-15):
"The availability of rail service not only adds flexibility of use to industrial
land, but in some cases, especially in urban areas where rail-served lands
are scarce, adds value. One study concluded that "values of industrial land
abutting railroad facilities exceeded the value of industrial land away from
the railroad by 50 percent."
The city proposes to amend a plan policy (Plan, page"X-21) to emphasize
"industrial development in the vicinity of highways and airports" in addition to land
"located adjacent to rail facilities." However, ti70`city proposes to rezone the two
major sites which are now available for,new rail-served industrial development
(Area 1 and Area 2).
LCDCs administrative rule on industrial and commercial development,
OAR 660-09-015, requires the city to complete an Economic Opportunities
Analysis. to °identity the major categories of industrial and. commercial uses that
could reasonably be expected to locate or expand iri the planning area" and to
"identify the types of sites that are likely to be needed." The city's analysis and
findings for this proposal need to provide a factual base to justity and explain the
57
i
6
Tom Humphrey -3- May 6, 1998
city's change in policy and. redesignation of these industrial sites., Some relevant
questions are:
• What rail-oriented industries are likely to expand or locate in-the region?
• What other site requirements, such as size of the site, do these industries
have which would make Area 1 or Area 2 in Central. Point more or less
attractive?
• Are there other sites in the region which can meet the need better,
considering siting requirements and related issues such as jobs/housing
balance?
To address these issues; the city should: (1) coordinate with Jackson County and
other cities in the county with rail service, and (2) obtain any relevant information
which is available from` truce Laird at the Oregon Department of Economic
Development and Gordon Safley at SOREDI, your regional economic
development agency.
Compatibility. Residential uses located adjacent to the, railroad tracks in
Areas 1 and 2 will conflict with the continued operation of the railroad because of
noise, smoke and vibration.. The Oregon Rail Freight Plan (page 2-18)
recommends that railroads be buffered by a parallel street at least 500 feet from
the railroad with industrial developmentbetween the tracks and the road. In
evaluating this proposal; the city should consider the need to buffer residential
uses'from the railroad.
Transportation Planning Rule
Transportation Objectives. We'are concerned that the increased imbalance
between jobs and housing resulting from these plan amendments will make it
more difficult for the city to meet the objectives of LCDC's Transportation PI'aning
Rule, OAR 660-12-035(4) and (5), the regional transportation systems plan (TSP)
and the city's TSP. These objectives, which are listed in the transportation
planning rule, are:
• no increase and ultimately a reduction in vehiole miles traveled'(VMT) per
capita'
• increase the in modal share of non-automobile trips
58
Tom Humphrey -4- May 6; 1998
increase in average automobile occupancy
decrease in the number or length of automobile trips [by] rearranging land
uses
As is pointed out above, the proposed net reduction in industrial land and
increase in residential land would have the effect of increasing commutes to other
job locations in the region. These land use changes may have the effect of
increasing the numberand length of automobile trips, which is the opposite of the
last objective above. The city should evaluate whether these land -use changes
will make it more difficult for the region to meet itsVMT objectives.
Traffic Analysis. As you are aware, LCDC's Transportation Planning Rule
requires an analysis to ensure the. proposed uses will be consistent with the
operation of the planned transportation system (see OAR 660-012-0060). The
purpose of this transportation planning rule (TPR) requirement is to ensure that
the planned land uses and transportation facilities in the city's comprehensive
plan are in balance and thatthe street system can support any increase or
change in traffic that may result from the plan amendments and zone changes.
This requirement can be met by evaluating the operating conditions of nearby
roadways in the future with the proposed zone change. This analysis will enable
the city to determine if the proposed plan amendment will significantly affect any
transportation facilities.
We have reviewed the Technical Memorandum prepared by Bart Benthul of
RVCOG dated March 16, 1998 and additional information provided to us by
Mr. Benthul. Based upon our review;'this analysis does not appear to be
complete or accura4elyreflect the potential traffic impacts of the proposed land
use changes. Consequently; we da not believe this analysis provides an
adequate factual basis to determine that the proposed land use changes will not
significantly affect the transportation system.
First, the analysis does not appear to have correctly modeled the proposed. land
use changes. For example, the inputs used in the transportation model have
assumed-that Area 3 will generate approximately 3,000 fewer daily trips if the
zoning is changed from residential and lightindustrial to commercial and
industrial uses. We do not believe this accurately describes the potential change
in trip generation since the analysis does not appear to have considered that
uses which could generate a significant number of vehicle trips, such as grocery
59
,.
Tom Humphrey -5- May 6, 1998
stores, restaurants, and motels, could be developed in the proposed commercial
district.
Second, the analysis has only evaluated the operating conditions at the
Hwy. 99/Pine Street intersection. In addition to this intersection, other locations
such as the I-5 interchange and off ramps, should be evaluated for potential
impacts.
Third, we noticed that the analysis has included an additional crossing of the
railroad tracks to serve Area 1. If this area is to be residential, we believe an
additional street connection would benefit both vehicular traffic and access to
downtown for pedestrians.. Although we support this connection, an amendment
to the city's comprehensive plan to provide an additional railroad crossing
requires coordination. with the provider of transportation services (see OAR
660-012-0015(5)). The city should coordinate with the railroad and. any other
agencies involved in approving additional railroad crossings to ensure this street
connection can. be .provided.
We encourage the city. to reconsider, revise, and, clarify the transportation
analysis and findings to address these comments. We understand an additional
analysis prepared by Hardy Engineering may address some of these issues. We
will review and provide comments on this additional analysis when we receive it.
Community Solutions Field Team (CST)
Several. state agencies (DEQ, DOT, EDD, HCS and DLCD), in conjunction with
the Governor's Office, have recently organized a "field team" to coordinate state
responses to issues which affect these agencies. This proposal raises issues
which affect all of these "CST" agencies:.air quality,. transportation, economic.
development; housing and land use. - I encourage-you-to work with this group to
resolve the issues raised in this letter. To coordinate with the "field team", please
contact Bruce Laird, OEDD Regional Development Officer at 776-6234...
Summary and Recommendation.
The city needs to provide a more detailed analysis of how these proposed a land
use changes affect its ability to accommodate future industrial: development. and.
future increases in vehicular traffic

Tom Humphrey -6- May 6, 1998
To maintain a balance of jobs and housing and to protect an area which is
particularly suited for large, rail-oriented industrial development, the city should
consider the option of maintaining at least 100 acres of Area 1 in General
Industrial use. This consideration should be based on an "economic
opportunities" anaysis and and evaluation of this and other rail-served sites in the
region. To avoid conflicts between "General Industrial" and residential uses to
the south of Area 1, the city should also consider retaining at least a 200 foot
wide "buffer strip" of "Light Industrial" uses. Served by an east-west street, this
light industrial area could provide several development sites of approximately 1
acre.
The department has a "quick response" program to prepare design options such
as the one. proposed above. If the city accepts, we can provide design
assistance on a specific development plan for areas 1 and 2. Such a plan would
designate residential and industrial areas and provide for appropriate buffers and
local street connections. Eric Jacobson coordinates the "Quick Response"
program for the department. His number is (503) 373-0055.
Please-enter this letter into the record of the local hearing on this issue. f=eel free
to contact me at (503) 373-0088 if you-have questions.
Sincerely,.

Dear Mr. Humphrey:
1 am writing in reguards to our discussion of the comprehensive plan zone change that was
discussed at the February rimeeting of the Citizens Advisory Committee.
At that meeting I made the statement that I would like to have the comprehensive plan zone
changed from C-1 to M-1, on my property located at 4400'Biddle Road. This is still the
zoning that i would prefer, however at a later meeting with you, it was pointed out to me that
a ~ 5 Thoroughfare Commergial District =.would also meetmy plans for the development of
the property and would be more compatible with the area.
1 already operate a portrait studio under a nonconforming use with Jackson County allowing
the portait studio with limited processing. I would like to expand to a thirty minute photo
processing facility as well, which is one of the proposed uses in the C-5 zoning..
The property has high visibility and Biddle Road is a major thoroughfare from the City of
Central Point to the City of Medford, and also the most direct approach to the airport from the
freeway. The property meets ali of the criteria for a C-5 zonig.
There has also been a C-1, type strip mall proposed at the Intersection of the property..
located on the corner of Vifas and Table Rock Road. This property is also adjacent to the
residential subdivision, and across the street from an already established convenience store.
That area seems to be much more suited to the C-7 zoning.
