VI. DISCUSSION
Tom Humphrey presented a draft of municipal code amendments which have
been submitted to the DLCD for review and comment. The changes are intended to
regulate the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries in Central Point. There is a
state appointed rule making committee that is considering how best to implement the
Senate Bill that instituted the medical marijuana dispensaries. They are expected to have
recommendations prior to March 1, 2014 when the Senate Bill takes effect. As it stands,
CPMC Chapter 17 would be amended to allow dispensaries in three commercial zones
(C-2M, C-4 and C-5) as a conditional use and Chapter 5 would be amended to define
dispensaries and to specify the conditions under which the dispensaries would be
allowed.
Originally the City contemplated prohibiting business licenses completely,
however the City attorney recommended instead using the state guidelines and creating
large buffer zones to include schools, residential and park areas.

There was discussion regarding what training the dispensers would be required to
have and who would monitor them. Mr. Humphrey explained that the state would govern
the dispensaries as they would have to be registered with the Oregon Health Authority
and that a doctor's prescription would be required for people to purchase marijuana.
There was additional discussion regarding marijuana infused food and if a food handler
card would be required. Mr. Humphrey indicated that there would be provisions that no
blending or cooking of marijuana would be allowed on site. It was suggested that the
businesses be required to have lobbies separate from dispensing areas so as to keep the
marijuana in a controlled area.
Another issue that was brought up was the need to define a "qualified grower" or
"supplier". It was suggested that proof of citizenship would be necessary to keep from
having large shipments from Mexico imported to the dispensaries. Mr. Humphrey
proposed that that would be researched in the state regulations and that the term "grower"
would be defined more specifically.
Others issues that the Committee felt needed to be addressed were hours of
operation and whether or not deliveries would be made during those hours, the smell
which would impact neighboring businesses, how the dispensaries would be taxed, the
need for a disclosure section with regard to suppliers in the business license application,
and finally the problem of disposal of any byproducts.
Mr. Humphrey presented maps detailing the areas that dispensaries might be
allowed, which was mostly limited to the I-5 area and the C-4 zone where most properties
are already in use.
The Committee felt that there needed to be more follow up prior to making a
formal recommendation to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Humphrey brought the Committee up to date with regard to the railroad
crossing. There are still funding issues to be worked out and there are FEMA issues to
resolve.
There has been discussion about putting in a roundabout at Hamrick and Beebe
road and whether or not there would be room enough for one big enough for large trucks
to navigate.
An update on Walgreens indicated that there were some property issues being
resolved prior to beginning construction.

VI. DISCUSSION
Tom Humphrey introduced the Concept plan for CP4D. He explained the conceptual
plans are to help identify the land uses in the UGB area. The concept plan is to refine and
define the urban reserve areas. It is used as a guide and does not have any force of law. It
will be presented to the City Council for their agreement to the proposed land use for the
area. Mr. Humphrey informed the Committee that CP4D was mostly located in the flood
plain and would be left as open space. It would allow the city to move up to CP1, which
is planned to provide employment based land use.
Mr. Humphrey stated that the biggest issue with CP1 would be getting water out there.
An Interim water agreement has been prepared by Don Burt which provides that business
owners in CP 1 would have to demonstrate their ability to provide adequate water and
once the City had water service out there they would be required to connect to city water.
The committee inquired about the roads in the CP4D. Mr. Humphrey stated that there
were no plans for new roads in CP4D, just extension of existing ones. They mentioned
possible uses for the open spaces. Extending the greenway, a dog park and picnic areas
were mentioned.
Mr. Humphrey stated that another consideration as land becomes urbanized is irrigation.
This needs to be considered so that irrigation continues to be available where needed.
Currently CP4D does not have any irrigation canals. CPI currently uses creeks to irrigate
so there would be no adverse effects if the land is developed.

Mr. Painter asked about the timeline for improving the Pine Street interchange. Mr.
Humphrey advised the Committee that as it was originally the first interchange to be re-
done, ODOT does not think it necessary to do major changes.
Linda Reel asked about changes in the Municipal Code regarding signs. Mr. Humphrey
informed the Committee that changes had been made to Chapter 15 to comply with the
State Building Code, and signs had been separated from those changes in order to
research and assess the issues involved. He stated that electronic signs were not
something that the City wanted to see and that currently signs were being reviewed and
allowed on an individual basis. Additionally it was planned that banners would be
allowed but only on a temporary basis. The Committee mentioned some of the older
signs around the downtown area that were in disrepair and stated they would like to see
those maintained better.
Mr. Humphrey advised the Committee on the issues of medical marijuana dispensaries
within the city. He stated that once the current moratorium was over, if the City was
allowed to prohibit them it would. However if dispensaries are legalized they would
need to be restricted. There are currently a few areas where they would have to be
allowed but the number of dispensaries would be very few.
Mr. Humphrey updated the Committee regarding current activities in the City. He
informed them that currently both the Point and Bobbio's have sidewalk café permits
allowing them to serve food and beverages at sidewalk tables. He added that some local
business owners had been working with a marketing consultant to create brand images
and were hopeful that their lead would ignite the enthusiasm of other business owners.

STAFF REPORT
October 14, 2014
AGENDA ITEM: File No. 14005
Consideration of Concept Plan for Urban Reserve Area CP-4D; Applicant: City of Central Point.
STAFF SOURCE:
Tom Humphrey, AICP
BACKGROUND:
The City's Regional Plan Element includes a provision that prior to expansion of the urban growth boundary(UGB) into
an urban reserve area it is necessary to adopt a concept plan for the affected urban reserve. A concept plan is required to
identify:
1. Conceptual land use plans,addressing targeted residential densities and land use distribution;
2. Conceptual transportation plans addressing significant transportation corridors; and
3. Mixed Use/Pedestrian Friendly Areas
Given the City's pending urban growth boundary application it is necessary that a concept plan be adopted for CP-4D. At
the meeting the draft of the Concept Plan will be presented for CAC discussion and a final recommendation. The Plan was
discussed at the RVMPO in August and has been distributed to affected irrigation districts,Jackson County, and ODOT.
The Concept Plan is being scheduled for review by the public at the Planning Commission and City Council in November.
ISSUES:
At this time the concept plan for CP-4D has been vetted by all of the parties mentioned above and has been revised a few
times. It is scheduled to be considered by the Planning Commission and the City Council in public hearings, and the CAC
is being asked to make a recommendation. Once approved,the Concept Plan will become part of a current UGB
application. A joint meeting of the County and City Planning Commissions will take place the end of November resulting
in recommendations to the City Council and Board of Commissioners.
EXHIBITS/ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment"A—CP-4D Draft Concept Plan"
ACTION:
Make a recommendation to the City Planning Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
Deliberate and 1)Recommend in favor of the Concept Plan; 2)Recommend with revisions.

PART 1. INTRODUCTION
As part of the Regional Plan Element'it is required that the City prepare and adopt for each
of its eight (8) urban reserve areas a Conceptual Land Use Plant and a Conceptual
Transportation Plan3prior to inclusion of any urban reserve areas in the City's urban growth
boundary.This document addresses both conceptual plans,which are collectively referred
to as the CP-4D Concept Plan ('Concept Plan'). Figure 1 illustrates CP-4D's relationship to the
City and the other urban reserve areas.
As used in this report the term 'concept plan' refers to a document setting forth a written
and illustrated set of general actions designed to achieve a desired goal that will be further
refined over time as the
planning process moves

addressed at such time as the area's planning proceeds through inclusion in the urban
growth boundary,annexation, zoning,site plan approval, and ultimately development,with
each step being guided by the Concept Plan.
The Concept Plan illustrates the City's basic development program for CP-4D;which is
presented in Part 2 of this document.The remainder of the document (Part 3) is dedicated
to providing background information used in preparation of the Concept Plan, including
findings of compliance with the land use distribution and applicable Performance Indicators
in the City's Regional Plan Element.
In summary the Concept Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Regional Plan
Element and Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan including all applicable performance
indicators set forth in these documents.The development concept for CP-4D compliments
and supports local and regional objectives relative to land use distribution and needed
transportation corridors identified in the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan.
PART 2. THE CONCEPT PLAN
The long-term objective for CP-4D is two-fold. First,to provide the physical connection
between the City and a major future employment area (CP-1B)as that area develops
and becomes a part of the City.The second objective is to provide enhanced
opportunities for open space and recreational uses that will take advantage of a regional
recreation resource,the Bear Creek Greenway.
The Concept Plan is comprised of two elements:
a. The Conceptual Land Use Plan (`Land Use Plan').
The primary objective of the Land Use Plan is to refine the land use
categories and spatial distribution of those categories throughout CP-4D.
This is necessary because the Regional Plan Element only addresses land
use in terms of general land use types, i.e. residential,employment, etc.,
and percentage distribution of the land use.
The Regional Plan Element distributes land uses within CP-4D into two
basic land use classifications;Open Space/Parks (99%), and Residential
(1%).The Land Use Plan for CP-4D refines these allocations by aligning
them with the appropriate Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Zoning
designations in the City's Comprehensive Plan.Those designations are
illustrated in Figure 2,tabulated in Table 1 as follows:
i. Residential.The Comprehensive Plan's Very Low Density
Residential designation was applied to a single one(1)acre
parcel (tax lot 36 2W 34D TL230)on the basis that:
Page 3 of 23
CP-4D(Bear Creek Area)Concept Plan,2014
• It is consistent with the existing Residential Low Density (R-
L) land use designation and zoning for the area immediately
to the east(Boes Subdivision);and
• It abuts EFU zoned lands to the north and will be subject to
the agricultural buffering requirements of CPMC 17.71;
which requires significant setbacks from the agricultural
use.
At such time as the parcel is annexed it will be rezoned R-L,
or an equivalent future zoning district,consistent with
development to the east.
ii. Parks and Open Space.The Comprehensive Plan's Parks and
Open Space designation is consistent with the Regional Plan
Element and allows for the continued use and improvement of
the Bear Creek Greenway system. It also provides opportunities
for passive recreational/open space use, i.e. hiking trails, picnic
areas, Frisbee golf,that will both serve the local and regional
community, and compliment the Bear Creek Greenway.
Compatible zoning for the Parks and Open Space designation
would be either Bear Creek Greenway(BCG)or Open
Space/Parks (OS),or a combination of both.

b. The Conceptual Transportation Plan (`Transportation
Plan")
The only regionally significant transportation corridor affecting CP-4D is the
Bear Creek Greenway.The Concept Plan identifies the Bear Creek
Greenway as an element of the plan (Figure 2,CP-4D Concept Plan)and
Page 4 of 23
CP-4D(Bear Creek Area)Concept Plan,2014
includes policies that encourage the continued use and improvement of
the Bear Creek Greenway.
c. Implementation Guidelines
The following guidelines are intended to serve as future action items:
Policy CP-4D.1 Land Use:At time of inclusion in the City's urban growth
boundary(UGB)the property will be shown on the City's General Land
Use Plan Map as illustrated in the CP-4D Concept Plan, Figure 2.
Policy CP-4D.2 Bear Creek Greenway:The Open Space/Parks land will
be planned and improved in a manner that offers passive recreational
opportunities to the public and is compatible with and compliments the
Bear Creek Greenway.
Policy CP-4D.3 Bear Creek Greenway:Jackson County will continue to
own and operate the Bear Creek Greenway system and the County and
City will coordinate open space/park plans within CP-4D to the mutual
benefit of the Bear Creek Greenway system.
Policy CP-4D.4 Streets: The public street system will be allowed to
extend into CP-4D only to the extent necessary to serve the needs of
future open space uses within CP-4D. Potential access points are from
Dean Creek Road, Boes Avenue, and Old Upton Road.Through access
will not be permitted.
Policy CP-4D.5 Irrigation District Coordination.There are no Rogue
River Valley Irrigation District facilities within CP-4D. However, as
properties within CP-4D are included within the City's urban growth
boundary,and further proceed through the development process, i.e.
annexation, zoning, site development,the City and property
owner/developer shall collaborate with RRVID as outlined in the
protocols set forth in Jackson County's Agricultural Lands Element.
Policy CP-4D.6 Agricultural Lands. Land use actions within CP-4D shall
coordinate with the Rogue River Valley Irrigation District in the manner
set forth in the County's Agricultural Lands Element policy pertaining to
irrigation districts and land use planning.
Policy CP-4D.7 Concept Plan Modification. Modifications to the Concept
Plan shall be subject to the same review and collaboration procedures
used in approving the original Concept Plan,and shall be processed by
the County as a Type 4 permit.

PART 3. SUPPORT FINDINGS
The findings present in this section provide both background information and address
the Regional Plan Element's Performance Indicators.
a. Current Land Use Characteristics
This section describes the general character of CP-4D in its current condition.
Natural Landscape:With the exception of one one-acre parcel used for
residential purposes and Dean Creek Road,CP-4D remains undisturbed.
Bear Creek traverses the area (south to north)and is the predominant physical
feature.Associated with Bear Creek are areas of flooding and wetlands.
Cultural Landscape:CP-4D(Bear Creek Area) is a triangular-shaped 83 acre tract
that runs along the northeastern side of 1-5 connecting the current city limits to
CP-1B(Figure 1, Central Point Urban Reserves).Table 2 identifies; by assessor
number,acreage,zoning,comp plan designation, and ownership,the seven (7)
properties that comprise CP-4D.
The City and County account for 99% of CP-4D and are currently used for open
space purposes as part of the Bear Creek Greenway system (Figure 3, Aerial
Map). Much of the area is impacted by a variety of environmental and
agricultural constraints.The eastern third of CP-4D is within the 100-year
floodplain of Bear Creek(Figure 4, Floodplain Map) and the area is also
impacted by wetlands.

TOTAL ACRES
Within CP-4D there is a one-acre parcel currently developed as a single-family
residence.This property abuts City lands to the east zoned for R-L use
(Residential Low Density), undeveloped City owned land to the west, and
agricultural lands to the north.
Page 8 of 23

CP-4D(Bear Creek Area)Concept Plan,2014
Access to CP-4D is currently available via Dean Creek Road from the north and
Boes Avenue from the east, neither of which provides through access.
Along the east side of CP-4D are lands used for agricultural production (orchard
and hay).

b. Current Land Use Designations &Zoning
Most of CP-4D is planned and designated for agricultural (EFU) use.These EFU
lands are owned by Jackson County(Figure 5, Zoning). None of the EFU zoned
lands are,or have in recent history, been used for agricultural production and
the soils are of low agricultural suitability(Class IV-VII where not built as a
roadway or within the Bear Creek floodway).

CP-4D(Bear Creek Area)Concept Plan,2014
The southerly third of the area is planned and designated as Rural Residential
land (RR-5)and is owned by the City of Central Point.
There is a small one(1)
acre parcel designated for
residential use (UR-1),
which is developed with a
single-family home(see
adjacent aerial photo).
Based on CPMC 17.71,
Agricultural Mitigation,the
existing dwelling is
classified as an Urban
Receptor, High-Sensitivity
(H),while the abutting EFU
lands,which are used for
orchard production,are
classified as an Intensive
Use. Given these two
A classification the dwelling
w 0 011 fort does not meet the current
minimum agricultural
buffering setback
requirements (100—200 feet)from the abutting EFU lands to the north.
Consequently;and regardless of zoning,when annexed the property will be
classified as legal non-conforming and subject to the requirements of the City's
Non-Conforming regulations (CPMC 17.56).
c. Existing Infrastructure
Water
Currently, public water service is not available to CP-4D, but can be easily
extended from the Boes Subdivision.
Sanitary Sewer
There is a Rogue Valley sanitary sewer trunk line running north-south through
CP-4D (see Figure 6, Utilities).
Storm Drainage
CP-4D does not have an improved storm drainage system and relies on Bear
Creek for its storm drainage needs.

Street System
CP-4D is currently accessed by Dean Creek Road to the north, Old Upton Road to
the south,and Boes Avenue to the east. None of the three streets offers
through access.
Dean Creek Road extends southerly from Blackwell Road into CP-4D terminating
in a parking area for the Bear Creek Greenway.There are no plans to extend
Dean Creek Road further south.
Old Upton Road,although abandoned west of its intersection with Raymond
Way,does provide public right-of-way frontage at the southern edge of CP-4D.
Boes Avenue provides easterly access to CP-4D as it dead-ends into the City
owned property.
Irrigation District
CP-4D is located within the Rogue River Valley Irrigation District (RRVID). Some
of the properties within CP-4D have water rights, but no irrigation service,while
other properties have no water rights and no irrigation service(see Figure 7,
Irrigation). CP-4D does not have any dedicated irrigation facilities within its
boundaries.
Most of the property abutting CP-4D on the east and north are in commercial
agricultural use and provided irrigation services by RRVID. It is not anticipated,
that implementation of the Concept Plan I cause future conflicts with irrigation
services,or the current agricultural uses.

e. Applicable Performance Indicators
The following addresses each applicable performance indicator per Table 3:
4.1.5.Committed Residential Density. Land within the URA and currently within
an Urban Growth Boundary(UGB) but outside the existing City Limit shall
be built, at a minimum,to the following residential densities.This
requirement can be offset by increasing the residential density in the City
Limit.
Table 4. REGIONAL PLAN ELEMENT MINIMUM DENSITY REQUIREMENT FOR CENTRAL POINT
City -■- -
Central Point .... a.a : . ,,... ;c1 «.
4.1.5.1. Prior to annexation,each city shall establish (or, if they exist
already, shall adjust) minimum densities in each of its residential
zones such that if all areas build out to the minimum allowed the
committed densities shall be met.This shall be made a condition of
approval of a UGB amendment.
Finding:Of the 52 acres in CP-4D the Regional Plan reserves one (1) acre
for residential use. The one(1) acre reservation is consolidated in a single
parcel (36 2W 34D TL230),which is currently developed for single-family
residential use. As discussed in Part 3,Section (b)the property abuts
commercial agricultural land and because of the placement of the existing
dwelling cannot meet the minimum agricultural setbacks required in
CPMC 17.71, necessary to accommodate a second dwelling unit regardless
of the zoning.
The Concept Plan applies the City's Very Low Density Residential(R-L) land
use and zoning to this property on the basis that the R-L zoning:
Page 16 of 23
CP-4D(Bear Creek Area) Concept Plan,2014
• Is consistent with the existing Residential Low Density(R-L) land
use designation and zoning for the area immediately to the east (Boes
Subdivision);and
• The property abuts commercial agricultural lands to the north
and will be subject to the agricultural buffering requirements of CPMC
17.71;which requires significant setbacks from the agricultural use,
precluding any further development of the property.
The R-L zoning district has a minimum density of 1.8 dwelling units per
gross acre,which is significantly below the committed average minimum
density required in the Regional Plan Element(See Table 4 above).
However,the density Performance Indicator does allow exceptions to the
minimum provided that any decreases in density are off-set by increasing
the residential density elsewhere within the City's urban area.
In Table 5 an accounting of the Gross Buildable Acreage within the
City/UGB by zoning, current minimum allowable density per gross acre for
each zoning district, minimum dwelling unit yield,and the average
minimum density per gross acre defines the City's current minimum build-
out density. Based on current zoning the City's Gross Buildable Acreage is
capable of accommodating a minimum build-out density of 7.1 units per
gross acre,which exceeds the current planning period's minimum 6.9, but
is less than the long-term planning period's 7.9, required in the Regional
Plan Element.Table 5 further illustrates (Adjusted Totals)that the use of
R-L zoning in CP-4D,when added to the City's current gross buildable
acreage,only fractionally reduces the average minimum gross density, but
not below the current planning period's required minimum gross density
of 6.9.
Conclusion:Complies. With the use of the lower density R-L zoning the
City's committed density is essentially unchanged and remains compliant
with the current planning period's required minimum residential density
standard.The City acknowledges that in order to maintain both the
current and long-term planning period's minimum density requirement
that:
1) Higher density zone changes may need to occur within the City as
necessary to increase the average minimum density identified in
Table 5;
Page 17 of 23
CP-4D(Bear Creek Area)Concept Plan,2014
2) Future residential densities in the remaining URA Conceptual Land
Use Plans will need to either meet or exceed the minimum
established densities in the Regional Plan Element;or
3) A combination of the above.

4.1.6 Mixed-Use/Pedestrian Friendly Areas. For Land within a URA and for land
currently within a UGB but outside of the existing City Limit, each city shall achieve the
2020 benchmark targets for the number of dwelling units (Alternative Measure No. 5)
and employment(Alternative Measure No. 6) in mixed-use/pedestrian-friendly areas as
established in the 2009 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)or most recently adopted
RTP. Beyond the year 2020,cities shall continue to achieve the 2020 benchmark targets,
or if additional benchmark years are established,cities shall achieve the target
corresponding with the applicable benchmarks. Measurement and definition of
qualified development shall be in accordance with adopted RTP methodology.The
requirement is considered met if the city or the region overall is achieving the targets or
minimum qualifications,whichever is greater.This requirement can be offset by
increasing the percentage of dwelling units and/or employment in the City Limit.This
requirement is applicable to all participating cities.
Finding:Aside from the single one acre parcel there are no proposed land uses
within CP-4D that are candidates for mixed-use/pedestrian friendly areas.
Conclusion:Not Applicable.
Page 18 of 23
CP-4D(Bear Creek Area) Concept Plan,2014
4.1.7.Conceptual Transportation Plans.Conceptual Transportation Plans shall be
prepared early enough in the planning and development cycle that the identified
regionally significant transportation corridors within each of the URAs can be protected
as cost-effectively as possible by available strategies and funding.A Conceptual
Transportation Plan for a URA or appropriate portion of a URA shall be prepared by the
City in collaboration with the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization,
applicable irrigation districts,Jackson County,and other affected agencies,and shall be
adopted by Jackson County and the respective city prior to or in conjunction with a UGB
amendment within that URA.
4.1.7.1.Transportation Infrastructure.The Conceptual Transportation Plan shall
identify a general network of regionally significant arterials under local
jurisdiction,transit corridors, bike and pedestrian paths, and associated projects
to provide mobility throughout the Region (including intra-city and inter-city, if
applicable).
Finding:Preparation of the Concept Plan included a review of the City's
Transportation System Plan, the County's Transportation System Plan,and the
RVMPO's 2013-2038Regional Transportation Plan.The only regionally significant
transportation corridor within CP-4D is the Bear Creek Greenway system,which
is predominantly pedestrian and bicycle oriented.The CP-4D Concept Plan
acknowledges the existence of the Bear Creek Greenway system and includes
guidelines that protect and enhance the Bear Creek Greenway.
Aside from the Bear Creek Greenway there are no other regionally significant
transportation corridors.
Conclusion: Complies.
4.1.8.Conceptual Land Use Plans:A proposal for a UGB Amendment into a designated
URA shall include a Conceptual Land Use Plan prepared by the City in collaboration with
the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization,applicable irrigation districts,
Jackson County,and other affected agencies for the area proposed to be added to the
UGB as follows:
4.1.8.1.Target Residential Density:The Conceptual Land Use Plan shall provide
sufficient information to demonstrate how the residential densities of Section
4.1.5 above will be met at full build-out of the area added through the UGB
amendment.
Finding:See Finding 4.1.5.
Conclusion:Complies.
Page 19 of 23
CP-4D(Bear Creek Area) Concept Plan,2014
4.1.8.2. Land Use Distribution.The Conceptual Land Use Plan shall indicate how
the proposal is consistent with the general distribution of land uses in the
Regional Plan,especially where a specific set of land uses were part of the
rationale for designating land which was determined by the Resource Lands
Review Committee to be commercial agricultural land as part of a URA,which
applies to the following URAs: CP-1B, CP-1C, CP-4D,CP-6A,CP-2B, MD-4, MD-6,
MD-7mid, MD-7n, PH-2,TA-2,TA-4.
TABLE 6. CP-4D URBAN RESERVE LAND-USE TYPE COMPARISON*
Regional Plan
Element
P Concept
Plan
Finding:As illustrated in Table 6 the proposed land use distributions in the CP-
4D Concept Plan are consistent with those presented in the Regional Plan
Element.
Conclusion:Complies.
4.1.8.3. Transportation Infrastructure.The Conceptual Land Use Plan shall
include the transportation infrastructure required in Section 4.1.7 above.
Finding:The required transportation infrastructure per 4.1.7 is included in the
CP-4D Concept Plan (see Finding 4.1.7).
Conclusion:Complies.
4.1.8.4. Mixed Use/Pedestrian Friendly Areas.The Conceptual Land Use Plan
shall provide sufficient information to demonstrate how the commitments of
Section 4.1.6 above will be met at full build-out of the area added through the
UGB amendment.
Finding:See Finding 4.1.6.
Conclusion:Not Applicable.
4.1.9.Conditions.The following conditions apply to specific Urban Reserve Areas:
4.1.9.2. CP-4D. Use of CP-4D is predominantly restricted to open space and park
land with the exception of an existing one acre home site.
Page 20 of 23
CP-4D(Bear Creek Area) Concept Plan,2014
Finding:As noted in Table 4 the CP-4D Concept Plan is consistent with the
Regional Plan Element's land use type distribution,which allocates 99%of the
gross acreage to open space/parks use. Residential uses have been restricted to
the existing one acre home site.
Conclusion 4.1.9.2:Complies.
4.1.9.3.Roadway Limitation. No roadways are to extend North, East, or West
from CP-4D.
Finding:Currently there are three public streets that access CP-4D; Dean Creek
Road from the north, Boes Avenue from the east, and Old Upton Road from the
south.The CP-4D Concept Plan does not propose the extension of any roadways
from CP-4D. However, it is proposed that Boes Avenue and/or Old Upton Road
may be extended westerly and northerly as necessary to provide access/parking
to serve the future open space and recreation uses proposed for CP-4D. The
determination of the extent of the extension of these two roads will be subject
to more detailed identification and design of the future open space
development of CP-4D.Through access shall not be permitted.
Conclusion 4.1.9.3: Consistent, no roadways will be extended from CP-4D.
4.1.9.5 Central Point URA,Gibbon/Forest Acres. Prior to the expansion of the
Central Point Urban Growth Boundary into any Urban Reserve Area,the City
and Jackson County shall adopt an agreement (Area of Mutual Planning
Concern)for the management of Gibbons/Forest Acres Unincorporated
Containment Boundary.
Finding:The City will coordinate with Jackson County and enter into an Area of
Mutual Planning Concern Agreement prior to UGB expansion into CP-4D.
Conclusion 4.1.9.5: Complies
4.1.10.Agricultural Buffering. Participating jurisdictions designating Urban Reserve
Areas shall adopt the Regional Agricultural Buffering program in Volume 2,Appendix Ill
into their Comprehensive Plans as part of the adoption of the Regional Plan.The
agricultural buffering standards in Volume 2,Appendix Ill shall be adopted into their
land development codes prior to a UGB amendment.
Finding:CP-4D abuts EFU zoned lands along its easterly border(see Figure 4). However,
the primary use of CP-4D will be for passive recreational use,which at time of
design/development has the space and use assets that will easily comply with the City's
Agricultural Mitigation Ordinance.
Page 21 of 23
CP-4D(Bear Creek Area)Concept Plan,2014
The CP-4D Concept Plan also includes an existing one acre residential parcel.This parcel
currently contains a single-family residence, but has the potential to be further
partitioned. In addition to having to comply with the City's Agricultural Mitigation
Ordinance the CP-4D Concept Plan designates the property for low density residential
density(R-L),which is consistent with the residential neighborhood to the east.
Conclusion:Complies.
4.1.13 Urban Growth Boundary Amendment. Pursuant to ORS 197.298 and Oregon
Administrative Rule 660-021-0060, URAs designated in the Regional Plan are the first
priority lands used for a UGB amendment by participating cities.
Finding:The Regional Plan Element includes a provision that requires adoption of a
concept plan prior to urban growth boundary expansion into an urban reserve area.
The CP-4D Concept Plan addresses this requirement in anticipation of an urban growth
boundary application into CP-4D.
Conclusion 4.1.9.5: Complies.
4.1.17. Greater Coordination with the RVMPO.The participating jurisdictions shall
collaborate with the Rogue Valley Metropolitan Organization (RVMPO)to:
4.1.17.1. Prepare the Conceptual Transportation Plans identified in Section
4.1.7.
4.1.17.2. Designate and protect the transportation infrastructure required in the
Conceptual Transportation Plans identified in Section 4.1.7 to ensure adequate
transportation connectivity, multimodal use,and minimize right of way costs.
4.1.17.3. Plan and coordinate the regionally significant transportation strategies
critical to the success of the adopted Regional Plan including the development
of mechanisms to preserve rights-of-way for the transportation infrastructure
identified in the Conceptual Transportation Plans;and
Finding:The CP-4D Concept Plan was prepared in collaboration with RVMPO
with attention given to the effective implementation of the Regional Plan. On
August 13, 2014 the RVMPO Technical Advisory Committee reviewed and
approved the Concept Plan.
Conclusion:Complies.
4.1.18. Future Coordination with the RVCOG.The participating jurisdictions shall
collaborate with the Rogue Valley Council of Governments on future regional planning
that assists the participating jurisdictions in complying with the Regional Plan
Page 22 of 23
CP-4D(Bear Creek Area) Concept Plan,2014
performance indicators. This includes cooperation in a region-wide conceptual planning
process if funding is secured.
Finding:Any future modifications to the Concept Plan, per Policy CP-4D.7,will
be prepared in collaboration with the RVCOG.
Conclusion:Complies.
4.1.20 Agricultural Task Force.
Finding:The Agricultural task Force has been formed and has submitted their
recommendations to the County in the form of amendments to the County's
Agricultural Lands Element.The City has reviewed the proposed amendments.
The proposed policy addressing coordination with affected irrigation districts is
the only Agricultural Task Force recommendation that pertains to the Concept
Plan.The Concept Plan has been coordinated with the Rogue River Valley
Irrigation District(RRVID)with no anticipated negative impacts to RRVID's ability
to continue providing irrigation services. A policy(CP-4D.6) is part of the
Concept Plan and is intended to assure continued coordination with RRVID as
the Concept Plan is implemented.
Conclusion:Complies.
4.1.21. Park Land. For purposes of UGB amendments,the amount and type of park land
included shall be consistent with the requirements of OAR 660-024-0040 or the park
land need shown in the acknowledged plans.
Finding:Although not required at this time it is worth noting that OAR 660-024-0040
addresses determination of land need necessary to justify expansion of an urban growth
boundary. The CP-4D Concept Plan serves only to illustrate consistency with the
Regional Plan Element land use allocations for parks and open space as shown in Table
6,and does not waive the requirements of OAR 660-024-0040. Conclusion:Complies.
4.1.22 Buildable Lands Definition.
Finding:The term "buildable lands"as defined in OAR 660-008-0005(2) is used
by the City in managing its Buildable Lands Inventory and is the basis for
determining future need.
Conclusion:Complies.
