During that request staff realized that there were issues in the tables referring to senior housing. It is recognized that congregate housing, as a use, has employees for housekeeping, administration, common dining options, etc., which sets it apart from an apartment complex. For this reason the allowance of congregate housing within the LMR zone has been restricted to those incidences where is its part of, and under the same ownership of, an abutting congregate housing project in the MMR or HMR zoning district. The design of a congregate housing project in the LMR district will be subject to LMR residential design and development standards, including density. There was discussion regarding assisted living facilities, and if they are included in the TOD zoning area. City Attorney Dreyer explained that this discussion should be contained to the topic at hand which is for congregate housing. Assisted Living facilities would not be included in this type of zoning. Congregate Housing would be covered in any of these TOD zoning areas. Mayor Williams opened the public hearing. No one came forward and the public hearing was closed.

VIII. BUSINESS ' A. Planning Commission Report City of Central Point City Council Minutes January 8, 2015 Page 5 Community Development Director Tom Humphrey presented the Planning Commission report for January 6, 2015: • Approved a Resolution recommending amendments to the Central Point Municipal Code to add Chapter 17.08.010 -Definition, "Congregate Housing"; Chapter 17.64.040, Off -Street Parking Requirements, Table 17.64.02A adjusting parking requirements for Congregate Housing; Chapter 17.65.050 Zoning Regulations, TOD District, Tables 1 through 3; and Chapter 17.65.070 Zoning Regulations, TOD Corridor, Tables 4 and 5, to delete the term "Senior Housing" and replace the term with "Congregate Housing". The Commission discussed the context of the amendments with staff who explained the dilemma between a previous map amendment and undefined code language. The new definition and terms clean up inconsistencies and will allow the Twin Creeks Retirement Center to add cottages to their campus. • Approved a Resolution to change approximately 5 acres of land in a city core area designated low density residential to civic to reflect actual land uses as a park, a park service yard and city corporation yard. They considered a city initiated Comprehensive Plan and zoning amendment to change land from residential use to civic use. The land is owned by the city and has been used for public purposes until this time. The new designation would also afford the city more options when considering a site for a Community Center or something similar. • Continued a Resolution to approve a conceptual land use and transportation plan for CP -1 B, for an Urban Reserve Area of Central Point. The Commission continued this public hearing to their February meeting on order to allow property owners in the CP -1B area to receive individual notice and to receive a recommendation from the Citizens Advisory Commission. • Approved a Resolution authorizing Testing Laboratories as a similar and compatible use within the C -2(M), C-5 and M-1 zoning districts. The Commission was asked to make a determination regarding testing laboratories and the zones in which they might be permitted. The Municipal Code has broad classifications for scientific labs and the prospective business applicant in this case was very transparent about the fact that they are testing various types of herbs including cannabis. The Commission determined that the proposal qualifies as a scientific lab as the term is used in the municipal code. IX.
