MEETING CALLED TO ORDER AT 5:35 P.M. II. ATTENDEES: Commissioners Connie Moczygemba, Mike Oliver, Pat Beck, Damian Idiart, Chuck Piland and Justin Hurley were present. Also present were: Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director; Don Burt, Planning Manager; Dave Jacob, Community Planner; and Didi Thomas, Planning Secretary III. DISCUSSION Transportation System Plan Planning Manager Don Burt and Community Planner Dave Jacob reviewed several chapters of the draft Transportation System Plan (TSP) with commissioners. Mr. Burt suggested that at the Planning Commission meeting, the chairman should open the public hearing, take testimony on the draft TSP and continue the public hearing until the October meeting for a resolution. Chapter 3 -Land Use & Transportation Planninn The City's transportation system will be needed to accommodate continued growth, and the amount, use and distribution of future development will determine improvements necessary to the existing transportation system. The Land Use Element, Population Element, Housing Element and Economic Element are components of the City's Comprehensive Plan that will directly affect the future transportation needs of the City. As the City's land use classifications change, it will become necessary to change the TSP in an effort to keep land use and traffic in sync. Chanter 8 -Bicvc[e & Pedestrian Plan Promoting alternatives to automobile transportation can be accomplished through the design and implementation of a comprehensive, convenient, accessible system of bike and pedestrian ways throughout the City. This chapter presents Planning Commission Minutes September 2, 2008 Page 2 performance measures and a prioritization of projects to accomplish the goals and future growth of the bicycle and pedestrian systems. Chanter 9 -Public Transit Svstem The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Transit System Element provides a comprehensive review of the region's transit system and future potential for growth. With future development, it is anticipated that public transit will increase to meet the priorities and needs of the community. A number of strategies are listed for the improvement in transit services. The City will continue to work with Rogue Valley Transit District and employ other strategies to meet the City's transit needs. Chapter 10 -Railroad & Aviation Svstem The purpose of the rail transportation element is to address both freight and passenger components of the railway system relative to the TSP. There is a single railroad line operated by the Central Oregon Pacific Railroad which runs from Eugene to Ashland. The train is slow, and there is no passenger service available at the present time. Feasibility studies have been done and the potential is there but implementation would be very expensive. The City of Central Point has convenient access to the Rouge Valley International-Medford Airport which provides both passenger and freight services. Chapter 11-Truck Freisht Svstem Efficient truck movement plays a vital role in the economical transportation of raw materials and finished products. The establishment of through truck routes provides for efficient movement and minimizes the impact of trucks in neighborhoods. Issues and concerns are addressed along with the challenges and conflicts of the truck freight system that serves the City and the region. Chapter 13 -Implementation Policies Each chapter of the TSP contains goals and policies that provide a specific course of action which will move the community toward the attainment of its goals. Once adopted, the goals and policies, as well as the project lists, will become part of the City of Central Point's Comprehensive Plan. IV.

A public hearing to consider a Resolution recommending approval of aright-of--way vacation of a portion of Ash Street located between Freeman Road and South 7th Street. Applicant: City of Central Point There were no conflicts or ex parte communications to disclose. Connie Moczygemba and Chuck Piland said they had made site visits. Planning Commission Minutes September 2, 2008 Page 2 Community Planner Dauid Jacob presented the staff report for this right-of--way vacation and described background information on this application. Mr. Jacob advised Commissioners that Oregon Revised Statutes provides two methods for vacating public right-of--way. The first method provides for vacation through a petition process, and as the applicants were not able to meet the vacation criteria, the alternative method was pursued and applicants' agent requested an initiation by City Council. At their July 24, 2008 meeting, Council reviewed a staff report and approved Resolution #1186 initiating proceedings to vacate. Council then requested that the Planning Commission review the application and make a recommendation to them prior to the public hearing set for September 25, 2008. Commissioners raised questions about plans to upgrade Ash Street, whether there was another way that the Hermanns could partition their property and not affect so many other property owners, right-of--way standards and whether there would be significant financial impacts on any of the other properties. Community Development Director Tom Humphrey pointed out that the residents involved have been using city property all of this time. In response to a question raised by one of the Commissioners as to whether others could split their lots, Mr. Humphrey responded that a few of the lots could build accessory dwelling units. The public hearing was then opened. Herb Farber, agent for the applicants, came forward and provided information on why Ash Street currently had an 80 foot right-of--way based on the original town plat of 1889. Mr. Farber felt that the criteria for a vacation had been adequately addressed in that: • it complies with our current Comprehensive Plan; • it will comply with the Transportation System Plan; • the vacation has been initiated by the City Council; • there will be little, if any, impact on the market value of affected properties; and the character of the neighborhood will not be affected. Mr. Farber supported staff s recommendation fora 56 foot right-of--way on Ash Street. Several of the affected property owners came forward to ask questions and offer objections to the proposed right-of--way vacation. Letters were distributed by Joseph and Pansy Hasler, as well as Gene and Betty Skelton, in opposition to the vacation. Reasons given for opposing the application were that the Hermanns didn't take care of their property, concern for atwo-story structure being built, the creation of an inconsistency with street right-of--ways, impact of increased property taxes, and the fact that only one family will benefit from the proposed right-of--way vacation. Herb Farber returned and stated that as long as the vacation met with the public's best interests and public works standards, no one is going to be harmed by approving the right-of--way vacation. Planning Commission Minutes September 2, 2008 Page 3 The public portion of the hearing was closed. Damian Idiart stated that he hadn't heard any evidence that there would be a substantial affect to any of the affected property owners. Justin Hurley added that this appeared to be an emotional issue but that was about it. Damian Idiart made a motion to approve Resolution No. 755, a resolution forwarding a favorable recommendation to the Central Point City Council to approve the partial right-of--way vacation of Ash Street between 7th Street and Freeman Road, based on the standards, findings, conclusions and recommendations stated in the staff report. Justin Hurley seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Idiart, yes; Oliver, yes; Beck, yes; Piland, yes; and Hurley, yes. Motion passed. Commissioners took a break at 8:40 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 8:50 p.m. B. File No. 09003 A public hearing to consider a Tentative Plan application for the purpose of creating a 201ot Industrial Business Park subdivision known as Table Rock Business Park. The 18.03 acre project site is in an M-1, Industrial zoning district and is identified on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37S 2W 12B, Tax Lots 800, 900 and 902. The proposed project area is located south of Hamrick Road and west of Table Rock Road. Applicant: Table Rock Business Park, LLC; Agent: Galpin & Associates. There were no conflicts or ex parte communications to disclose. Connie Moczygemba and Justin Hurley said that they had made site visits. Community Planner Connie Clune presented a staff report for this tentative plan application, stating that the applicant proposed to develop the subdivision in two (2) phases. Phase 2 would extend Federal Way and connect with Airport Road. The acquisition of tax lot 901 would be necessary to extend Airport Road through to Table Rock Road, and this would be a condition imposed for the final plat of Phase 2. Damian Idiart questioned if this condition would frustrate the design for phase 2. Tom Humphrey said that it would. The City's ultimate desire would be to have a 4-way intersection at Airport Road and Table Rock Road. Connie Clune continued her staff report indicating that flood hazards may impose design restrictions. Construction Engineering Consultants have submitted a letter of map amendment (COMA) application to FEMA. Should FEMA not approve a map amendment, Lot 14 and 15 would be consolidated with Lot 1. Ms. Clune added that the floodway has been addressed in conditions of approval. The public hearing was opened. Planning Commission Minutes September 2, 2008 Page 4 Cris Galpin, agent for the applicant, came forward and advised staff and Commissioners that the name of the proposed subdivision will be changed at the County's request prior to submission of a final plat. Mr. Galpin stated that the two main issues facing the development were the proximity of a floodplain and road connectivity. The floodplain, he said, is an error on FEMA's map, and they are in the processes of getting this changed. It is a matter of correcting the flood map. In order to comply with the street design standards, if the applicant is not able to acquire tax lot 901, they have a plan that could loop Airport Road back to Navigators Way. Planning Manager Don Burt advised Commissioners that staff would create a revised staff report that will change condition #3 to reflect that prior to final plat approval of Phase 2, Federal Way/Airport Road intersection or the alternative street system plan (to be shown as attachment "K" to the proposed resolution) shall be constructed to meet City industrial street standards. Mr. Galpin told Commissioners that all other conditions in the staff report are agreeable to them. Chairperson Connie Moczygemba asked Stephanie Woolette, Floodplain Manager for the City of Central Point, if she thought FEMA would agree to a map amendment. Ms. Woolette stated that she was not a hydrolics expert but she was well aware of the fact that the hydrolics of a stream channel can change over time. The public portion of the hearing was closed. Justin Hurley made a motion to approve Resolution No. 756, a resolution granting approval of a Tentative Plan application for a twenty (20) lot industrial subdivision known as Table Rock Business Park to be located in an M-1, Industrial zoning district consisting of approximately 18.03 acres (Jackson County Assessor's map as 37S 2W 12B, Tax Lots 800, 900 and 902) based on the standards, findings, conclusions and recommendations stated in a revised report to be prepared by staff incorporating the possibility of an alternative street system plan to meet City industrial street standards. Chuck Piland seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Idiart, yes; Oliver, yes; Beck, yes; Piland, yes; and Hurley, yes. Motion passed: C. File No. 09005. Consideration of a mural application. Applicant: Howard Hunt Community Development Director Tom Humphrey advised Commissioners that he had received a recommendation from the Central Point Arts Council for the mural proposed by Howard Hunt. The Arts Council has reviewed the criteria and has received written approval from the owner of the proposed location at 251 East Pine Street. A letter of commitment has been received on the funding. Planning Commission Minutes September 2, 2008 Page 5 Chuck Piland made a motion to grant approval of a mural to be painted on the side of the building located at 251 East Pine Street in Central Point, Oregon. Damian Idiart seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Idiart, yes; Oliver, yes; Beck, yes; Piland, yes; and Hurley, yes. Motion passed. D. File No. 8160(03). A public hearing to consider a Resolution recommending approval of an amendment to the Central Point Comprehensive Plan updating the Transportation System Plan which is an element of the City of Central Point's Comprehensive Plan. Applicant: City of Central Point Planning Manager Don Burt presented a staff report and indicated that the Transportation System Plan was ready for public review and comment. Mr. Burt acknowledged written correspondence received from the Oregon Department of Transportation and suggested that Chairperson Moczygemba open the public hearing, take testimony and continue the public hearing. The public hearing was then opened. David Pyles, Development Review Planner III for the Oregon Department of Transportation, came forward and requested that the Planning Commission continue the public hearing to afford ODOT the opportunity to make a final review and coordinate proposed TSP amendments. Mr. Pyles complimented staff on a well organized project. The public portion of the hearing was closed. Chuck Piland made a motion to continue the public hearing for consideration of a Resolution recommending approval of an Amendment to the Central Point Comprehensive Plan updating the Transportation System Plan until the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting. Justin Hurley seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Idiart, yes; Oliver, yes; Beck, yes; Piland, yes; and Hurley, yes. Motion passed. E. File No. 09004. Consideration of a Resolution to Initiate an Amendment to Section 17.48.040 to allow Membership Warehouse Retail as a Conditional Use within the M-1 Industrial district. Applicant: City of Central Point Planning Manager Don Burt advised Commissioners that staff had received a request for consideration of allowing discount clubs (membership warehouse retail clubs) as a conditional use within the M-1 Industrial zoning district. This matter was reviewed by the Citizens Advisory Committee in June and July of this year with a favorable recommendation to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission reviewed this matter at its regular meeting in August of 2008 and at a subsequent study session on August 19, 2008. Planning Commission Minutes September 2, 2008 Page 6 This evening, staff is requesting a resolution of intent to consider an amendment to the municipal code, Section 17.48 - M-1 Industrial District, allowing for discount clubs as a conditional use. Mr. Burt pointed out that there are some ambiguities in code that need to be clarified in order to determine whether discount clubs are permitted outright, prohibited, or allowed as a conditional use. Retail establishments are already permitted in the M-1 zoning district; the size of a discount club would be a conditional use if it exceeded 60,000 square feet and most of these types of establishments would. The Oregon Department of Transportation has indicated that they would support this clarification in code as stated in their letter submitted to Chairperson Moczygemba dated September 2, 2008, a copy of which is attached to these minutes. Chuck Piland made a motion to continue the Planning Commission meeting after 10 p.m. Justin Hurley seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Idiart, yes; Oliver, yes; Beck, yes; Piland, yes; and Hurley, yes. Motion passed. Commissioners expressed concerns about traffic and whether it was in the community's best interests to pursue this type of use. Chuck Piland made a motion to approve Resolution 757, a resolution declaring the Planning Commission's intent to consider an amendment to the Central Point Municipal Code, Section 17.48 - M-1 Industrial district, allowing discount clubs as a conditional use. Pat Beck seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Idiart, no; Oliver, no; Beck, yes; Piland, yes; and Hurley, no. Motion failed. Justin Hurley made a motion to direct staff to prepare an amendment to the Central Point Municipal Code, Section 17.48 - M-1 Industrial district, prohibiting discount clubs to be located within said district. Mike Oliver seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Idiart, no; Oliver, yes; Beck, yes; Piland, no; and Hurley, yes. VII. DISCUSSION -None VIII.

Planning Commission Chair MAJOR MODIFICATION TO T~YIN CREEKS TOD MASTER PLAN Planning Department STAFF REPORT STAFF REPORT October 7, 2008 Tom Humphrey, AICP, Community Development Director/ Assistant City Administrator AGENDA ITEM: FILE NO. 09008 Consideration of a major modification application to the Twin Creeks Transit Oriented Development Master Plan designation of the 2.03 acre site from Medium Mix Residential (MMR) to High Mix Residential (HMR). The project site is the current location of the Central Point Retirement Community, located at 410 Richardson Drive and identified on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37S 2W 03 DC, Tax Lot 3410, APN 10980155. Applicant: Twin Creeks Development Company, LLC Agent: Herb Farber, Farber Surveyyng. Connie Clune, PROJECT DESCRIPTION: It is the intent of Pacific Retirement Services to add an additional ~ 41 dwelling units to the current 62 unit retirement facility located on the project site (Figure 1). The MMR district allows a Fig°re i maximum of 32 units per acre. To accommodate the additional density proposed by the additiona141 units requires modification of the Master Plan re-designating the project site from MMR to '' HMR. The HMR district does not have a maximum density y limitation; however, most HMR projects are in the vicinity of 50 '~ ~ units per acre. With the existing and proposed units, the density ~ '~ ~ , ,~ - `ar would be 51 units per acre. ' , i%% ,, BACKGROUND: In January 2001, by Ord. No. 1817, the City approved the Twin 1 Creeks Transit Oriented Development Master Plan (the "Master Plan"). The approved Master Plan allowed for a maximum of 1,650 residential units and 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial floor _ area. The Master Plan is shown in Figure 2. Approval of the _ Master Plan included provisions for adequate and timely ~ infrastructure improvements determined necessary to accommodate the maximum allowable densities as noted in the Master Plan. In 2005 the project site was developed as the Central Point Retirement Community, a 62 unit, three (3) story, retirement facility on 2.03 acres of land planned and zoned MMR. Approximately 50% of the project site was left in open space in anticipation of a future second phase expansion. Page 1 of 3 FINDINGS: See Attachment "C". ISSUES: 1. Comprehensive Plan Compliance: Approval of the proposed modification must be found to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The City's Land Use Plan designates the project site as a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District. The proposed modification does not change the TOD land use designation. On the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan the project site will remain designated for TOD use. 2. Master Plan Compliance: It is the Applicant's request to modify the Master Plan. The proposed modification has been compared against the approved Master Plan design and maximum allowable densities. The previously approved Master Plan limited the maximum number of dwelling units to 1,650 (Maximum Density) and the maximum commercial floor area to 200,000 sq. ft. Currently, the design of the Twin Creeks TOD provides for 1,475 dwelling units and 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial floor area. The proposed modification would add an additiona141 dwelling units, for a total of 1,516. This figure remains within the allowed Maximum Density. The proposed modification does not add any additional commercial floor area. Aside from the increase in dwelling units, the proposed modification does not otherwise alter the Master Plan. The approved Master Plan included a phasing schedule for both residential and commercial development that was conditioned on completion of certain street improvements. The proposed Master Plan modification does not alter the phasing, or completion timing of the required public improvements. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: There are no conditions of approval.

Back ground: The Pre-Annexation Development Agreement recorded as Instrument No. 01- 03646 of the official records of Jackson County provided the framework for establishing a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) in January 2001 and was followed by the approval of the master plan for Twin Creeks development shortly thereafter. The implementation of the master plan has been in progress since the adoption of the development agreement and master plan. This property was master planned as Medium Mix Residential (MMR). The request for consideration is to amend the plan to allow for a zone change from MMR to High Mix Residential (HMR). Elements for consideration are the intent of the master plan community design features page 25 through 27 of the master plan book, triggers for public street improvements to accommodate traffic generated by the project and future plans for the site dependent on the results of the zone change application. 1. On page 27 the "PINE STREET STATION, A neighborhood with active retail, employment and high density residential uses. Senior assisted living housing is envisioned. Formal open spaces and landscaping. Closest neighborhood to Mae Richardson School and downtown Central Point." Finding: A master plan is not intended to be a precise template. The master plan was developed with the inclusion of the Rogue Bin and Quality Fence properties. Since these properties are not under the control of Twin Creeks Development Co., LLC, the implementation of the plan does not reflect framework of the plan exactly. The senior housing development is the existing use and the proposed use is an expansion of that use is compatible with the vision statement in the master plan. The open space elements have been developed and are in the final stages of landscape planting. • HERBERT A. FARBER PRESIDENT/SURVEYOR • SUSAN M. FARBER BUSINESS MANAGER• PHONE: 541-664-5599 •FAX: 541-664-5603 Page 1 of 2 2. The Pre Annexation Development Agreement established a plan and time line for required public street improvement/development based on traffic volumes generated by the project. There are three primary triggers identified it the agreement. The first was 1000 Vehicle Trips per Day (VTD) which did not include the first 241ots of Griffin Oaks subdivision as it was approved and under development prior to the agreement allowed 100 units without any improvements. The second trigger was a choice between Pine Street, Haskell and Taylor road and railroad improvements for 5760 VTD or the new railroad crossing for 4000 VTD. The third trigger is the remaining option in trigger two to be completed prior to full development. Finding: The accepted Trip Generation Rate from the Institute of Transportation Engineers publication are 10 VTD for single family residential and 6 VTD for retirement community and 7 VTD for multiple family units or apartments all rounded figures. Based on these accepted numbers we have built or have final platted single family lots numbering about 349 units for 3490 VTD and 185 senior units for 1110 VTD for a total of 4600 VTD. The tentative plan for The North Village is pending final plat has 150 single family units for a potential of 1500 VTD. Existing HMR, MMR and EC lots require a site plan approval prior to development and until a specific plan is submitted and approved and the use is determined are not being counted as able to generate VTD. Using these assumptions there is a potential of 6100 VTD from present development approved or pending final plat. The improvements for Pine, Haskell and Taylor Road have been completed and per the development agreement there are 6760 VTD available for development. This leaves 660 VTD available for any site plan approval for use within the development area prior to the railroad crossing being constructed. The proposed use for the property is 41 additional retirement units that would generate 246 VTD and is within the available VTD. 3. Future Plans Finding: Comments received for the proposal have addressed the height of the proposed building. While this is not criteria for the zone change and plan amendment, Pacific Retirement Services stipulates to keeping the proposed building under the 45 foot height requirement of the MMR. Conclusion: This project will enhance the overall goals of the TOD by increasing the density of the project while conforming to the vision of the master plan as stated in item 1 of this report. This action will provide for more housing without urban sprawl in a livable setting. The proposed minor plan amendment and zone change is in conformance with the vision of the TOD master plan as it was approved and has been developed to the present time. We respectfully request approval of this request. "Respectfully Submitt2ed, Herbert A Farber Page 2 of 2 ~.

The proposed additional units will require a permit from RVS only if there is new sewer pipe built outside of the buildings. Regardless of whether or not a permit is required, there will be additional development fees owed to Rogue Valley Sewer Services. Compliance with stormwater quality regulations has already been established for this site. The utility fee for stormwater quality is based on the amount of impervious area which will change with the proposed development. We request that the approval of this application be subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to the start of construction, the applicant must provide RV S with a site plan showing the location of existing and proposed structures and sewer laterals, with a calculation of the total lot area and total impervious surface area. 2. Prior to the start of construction, the applicant must pay all related sewer development fees and obtain a permit if needed. The need for a petrnit will be determined by RV S based upon the site plan. Feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding sewer service for this project. Sincerely, Carl Tappert, P.E. District Engineer [._ 9/15/2008 Attachment "C" FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW File No: 09008 INTRODUCTION Consideration of a major modification application to the Twin Creeks Transit Oriented Development Master Plan designation of the 2.03 acre site from Medium Mix Residential (MMR) to High Mix Residential (HMR). The project site is the current location of the Central Point Retirement Community, located at 410 Richardson Drive and identified on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37S 2W 03 DC, Tax Lot 3410, APN 10980155 ("Project Site"). Applicant: Twin Creeks Development Company, LLC, Agent: Herb Farber, Farber Surveying. CPMC 17.09.300 Major modifications. A. Major Modification Defined. The community development director shall determine that a major modification(s) is required if one or more of the changes listed below are proposed.• 2. An increase in density by more than ten percent, provided the resulting density does not exceed that allowed by the land use district; Finding: The Project Site is located within an area identified on the Land Use Plan Map as Transit Oriented Development (TOD), a land use designation that provides for master planned mixed use transit oriented development. In January 2001, by Ord. No. 1817, the City approved the Twin Creeks Transit Oriented Development Master Plan ("Master Plan") which identifies the use of the Project Site as Medium Mix Residential (MMR). Consistent with the Master Plan designation of MMR the Project Site is currently zoned Medium Mix Residential (MMR). The MMR zoning designation allows for a maximum density of 32 units per net acre. Finding: To accommodate the additional proposed units it is necessary that the Master Plan be modified to allow for higher densities on the Project Site. This would necessitate a change from MMR to HMR. The HMR land use designation does not have a maximum density limit, and as such does constitute an increase in allowable density on the Project Site in excess of 10%. Conclusion: It has been determined that a major modification application is required for the application to modify the Twin Creeks Transit Oriented Development Master Plan designation of the 2.03 acre site from Medium Mix Residential (MMR) to High Mix Residential (HMR) as provided in CPMC 17.09.300 (A). CPMC 17.09.300 B. Major Modification Applications; Approval Criteria. An applicant may request a major modification using a Type II or Type III review procedure, as follows: Page 1 of 6 1. Upon the community development director determining that the proposed modification is a major modification, the applicant shall submit an application form, filing fee and narrative, and a site plan using the same plan format as in the original approval. The community development director may require other relevant information, as necessary, to evaluate the request.

The project site is located at 410 Richardson Drive and is identified on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37S 2W 03 DC, Tax Lot 3410, APN 10980155. Applicants: Pacific Retirement Services/ RVM Central Point Housing Corporation; Agent: Dena Smith, Pacific Retirement Services. STAFFSOURC Connie Clune, Cc mmttti Tanner PROJECT DESCRIPTION: It is the applicants' intent to add an additiona141 dwelling units to the current 62 unit retirement facility located on the 2.03 acre project site. To do so requires a change of zoning from MMR to HMR. The proposed zone change would increase the current MMR maximum density of 32 units per net acre to the HMR density range, which has a minimum density of 30 units per acre and no maximum. Most HMR projects have an approximate density of 50 units per acre. BACKGROUND: As apre-requisite to this application, it is necessary that the Twin Creeks Transit Oriented Development Master Plan (Master Plan) that the project site be changed from its current MMR designation to HMR. The applicants have requested a modification to the Master Plan (File No. 09008), which will be considered by the Planning Commission prior to action on the zone change request. FINDINGS: See Attachment "C". ISSUES: 1. Comprehensive Plan Compliance: Approval of the proposed zone change must be found to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The City's Land Use Plan designates the project site as a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District. The proposed zone change ~. J Planning Department Page 1 of 3 Figure 1: Zoning does not change the TOD land use designation. On the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan the project site will remain designated for TOD use. 2. Master Plan Compliance: The proposed zone change has been compared against the approved (pending File No. 09008) Master Plan and determined to be consistent with the uses and densities of the approved Master Plan. 3. Zone Change: When considering a zoning map amendment it is necessary that the Planning Commission address five (5) criteria as set forth in CPMC Section 17.10.300(B). Each of these five criteria has been reviewed and favorably addressed in Attachment "C -Planning Department Findings". The Master Plan and supporting documents, provide the necessary documentation needed to address the applicable statewide planning goals, public facilities, services, transportation network, and established the TOD District Comprehensive Plan map designation. The requested change from TOD-MMR to HMR is consistent with the City's criteria for a zone change. 4. Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) compliance: CPMC Section 17.10.600 states that when a development application includes a proposed zoning district change, the proposal shall be reviewed to determine whether it significantly affects a transportation facility, and if it is determined that the change of zoning may impact the City's transportation system, then a traffic impact study may be required. The Master Plan approval was originally based on a traffic study2 that established design and development limitations based upon the phased completion of defined street improvements. The proposed zone change is consistent with the land uses and maximum allowed number of dwelling units approved in the original Master Plan. The TPR has been reviewed and favorably addressed in Attachment "C -Planning Department Findings". CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: There are no identified conditions of approval.

Criterion Narrative 17.10.300 Quasi judicial amendments B. 1. By approving the zoning increase of the current zoning MMR to HMR, will allow for forty-one units of affordable housing for very low-income seniors. This directly meets the goal of the 2006-2010, State of Oregon's Consolidated plan, as referenced in Table J, listing the unmet need of 4,876 elderly housing households within the poverty level. 2. The approval of the request is consistent with the City of Central Point's comprehensive plan as this is part of the TOD which is currently not maximized in the number of units it is allotted. 3. All utilities are currently to the site and do not adversely impact services or transportation. 4. The surrounding residential neighbors have been notified and a meeting will be conducted on Tuesday, May 13~' at Central Point Retirement Community. We anticipate that they will continue to be supportive of elderly housing for this area since it truly is a public benefit and has not adversely impacted their residence. We will notify you with comments after the meeting. 17.10.600 Transportation planning rule compliance There is no significant change to the transportation planning rule as this zoning change is well within the allowable unit count for the TOD. Therefore is does not adversely affect the traffic impact of the TOD; especially with the population being served. 19 ~~°TACHMENT ".~I_" Z `tn ~~ PAAK PHASEII 81TE• 11,B813.F.1.50 ACRE81 ftOORAPEA• 10,300 S.F. %3 FLOOR• 30,0008.F. 13 UNIi9 GRWNG BOOR 11 UNRB ON FACN 1N0 FLOR 6380 FLOOR I1 UNRS-TOTAL POORXMLLL PARKING SSTANDARO SPACES p21NNdCAP SPACES >0 TOTAI PARWNG SPAGE$ FO11 PHASE 1611 •.83 $PAGES PEfl UNIT ~I ,y., ~~ ~~~lP{~~j PnRqO~I~FCT TRUE /'1 PRPOSED SITE PLAN- PHASE II /NN N® r . w~a `CCJJ O May 25, 2001 Connie Clune From: Carl Tappert [cti3ppert~rvss.us] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 8:30 AM To: Connie Clune Subject: 09008-Pacific Retirement Servcies.doc Attachments: image001.jpg D September 12, 2008 ~T~ACHMENT Page 1 of 1 3 » ROGUE VALLEY- SEWER SERVICES Location: 138 West Vilas Roed, Central Point, OR-Mailing Address: P.O.

The proposed additional units will require a permit from RVS only ifthere is new sewer pipe built outside ofthe buildings. Regardless of whether or not a permit is required, there will be additional development fees owed to Rogue Valley Sewer Services. Compliance with stormwater quality regulations has already been established for this site. The utility fee for stormwater quality is based on the amcunt of impervious area which will change with the proposed development. We request that the approval of this application be subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to the start of construction, the applicant must provide RVS with a site plan showing the location of existing and proposed structures and sewer laterals, with a calculation of the total lot area and total impervious surface area. 2. Prior to the start of construction, the applicant must pay all related sewer development fees and obtain a permit if needed. The need for a permit will be determined by RV S based upon the site plan. Feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding sewer service for this project. Sincerely, Carl Tappert, P.E.

Applicant: City of Central Point STAFF Don BACKGROUND The City of Central Point recognizes the importance in having and maintaining a coordinated network of transportation facilities that serves current and future state, regional and local transportation needs. In response to this objective, the City has prepared this Transportation System Plan (TSP) to assure that not only are the transportation needs of its citizens met in a timely and efficient manner, but that in doing so, the transportation system will continue to be improved in a manner that supports projected growth and enhances the quality of life of those living and visiting the City of Central Point. This TSP has been prepared within the context of an urban area consisting of 2,880 acres, the state's Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), and other local transportation plans. The TSP will serve as the Transportation Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan meeting the requirements of Statewide Planning Goal 12 -Transportation. The following represents the principles that have guided the preparation and future implementation of this TSP: To strike a balance between accessibility and connectivity of people and goods, while keeping the system safe, attractive and well-maintained. 2. To advocate land use patterns, such astransit-oriented development and in-fill strategies, that support the continued enhancement of multi-modal transportation. 3. To increase street system safety and function through the adoption and implementation of access management standards for the purpose of maintaining and preserving the existing investment in transportation facilities. e3 Page 1 of 2 4. To design streets in a manner that maximizes the utility of public right-of--way; is appropriate to their functional role; and provides for multiple travel modes, while minimizing their impact on the character and livability of surrounding neighborhoods, business districts and the environment. ISSUES At the September 2, 2008, Planning Commission meeting, David Pyle, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), submitted a letter to the Planning Commission requesting that the "public hearing written record remain open to a date and time certain for a minimum of seven (7) days to a maximum of 30 days, per city code Section 17.05.500(F) to provide for additional time to assess the completed draft TSP in total."

Our interest in this project is as an affected agency and service provider of state transportation facilities within the Urban Growth Boundary of Central Point. Please enter this letter into the TSP project 8160(03) file. The ODOT received notice of the proposed TSP Resolution on August 19, 2008, via a letter from Planning Manager Don Burt, dated August 15, 2008. We understand the TSP amendment process to be consistent with a legislative Type IV procedure, outlined in the Central Point Municipal Code, Section 17.05.500. Section 17.05.500 (2)(a) of the city's code, requires notice "At least twenty days, but not more than forty days, before the date of the first hearing..." Mr. Burt's cover letter with attached complete draft TSP invites the Department to, "Please send any additional revisions and/or corrections to us by Friday, September 5, 2008 and we will add them to the final document draft."

At this time, we are requesting the public hearing written record remain open to a date and time certain for a minimum of seven (7) days to a maximum of 30 days, per city code Section 17.05.500 (F), for us to assess the completed draft TSP in total. We anticipate comments in support of the final draft TSP, with possible recommendations for minor revisions prior to consideration by the City Council and adoption of the proposed TSP amendment by city ordinance. The city's proposed revisions to the TSP have been generally coordinated with the ODOT per the requirements of Statewide Planning Goals 1 (Citizen Involvement), 2 (Land Use Planning) and 12 (Transportation), and they transportation Planning Rule (Oregon Administrative Rule 660-012). I have represented ODOT staff on the city's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) since approximately the fall of 2007. We appreciate the Planning Commission's consideration to allow final review and coordiration of the- proposed TSP amendments. City staffs well organized and effective work on this project to date will be reflected ultimately in a plan to guide transportation system facility decisions for Central Point for the next 20 years. We acknowledge the fine work of city staff and Planning Department on this project. We appreciate this opportunity to provide technical transportation and land use planning service to the City of Central Point.
