RPS Update
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey advised the audience and committee
members [hat presentation of the proposal for creation of urban reserve areas would go
before the Land Conservation and Development Commission in August of 2008. The
Regional Problem Solving group has a draft plan that has remained virtually unchanged
in the last few months. Attorneys are meeting to discuss a stakeholders agreement, and
once the agreement is in place and has been approved, a resolution of acceptance will
issue. At that time, we will be able to create urban reserve areas and should receive some
measure of assurance that we can proceed forward to bring new lands into our Urban
Growth Boundary.
Meanwhile, we are completing a comprehensive analysis of land use planning within our
current Urban Growth Boundary.

Galpin requesting consideration of a modification [o the zoning ordinance to allow
warehouse clubs/superstores as a permitted or conditional use in the M-1 zoning district.
Mr. Burt requested direction from the committee before directing staff to spend time on
this matter.
Discussion ensued and committee members presented concerns with the size of the
proposed warehouse/superstore and the impact it would have on [raffia Mr. Burt said
that examples would be Sam's Club, Cos[co or a super Wal-Mart.

have [o create more commercial zotting as part of an Urban Growth Boundary expansion.

Consideration o! BuAdable Lands lnventorv. CiN of Central Point Comprehensive
Plan
Planning Manager Don Burt advised [he Citizens Advisory Committee that the Buildable
Lands Inventory would constitute the basis for calculating how much land will be needed
in the future. The document is in fact an accounting of buildable lands , by location and
zoning, currently available for development.
Four assumptions were built into the data base in accordance with State requirements and
were used by Lisa Morgan to calculate the buildable land. This should be updated every
year. There are currently 447 acres available for development within the City's urban
area. The U.S. Census methodology was used to calculate redevelopment land as it
provided a more accurate estimate of residential land availability.
Mr. Burt stated that the Buildable Lands Inventory will become a part of the
comprehensive plan after it has been approved by the Planning Commission and City
Council.
A motion was made by Allen Broderick to accept the Buildable Lands Inventory as
presented. Herb Farber seconded the motion. All members said "aye". Motion
approved.

Consideration of Residential Density Ran¢es. City of Central Point Comorehensive
Plan. Land Use Element
Planning Manager Don Burt distributed residential density information [o committee
members broken out according to each of the individually designated residential zoning
districts. The comprehensive plan does not currently deal with densities. The table
distributed shows minimum and maximum densities for each of the zoning districts.
A second handout was distributed applying the densities [o vacant buildable land and [he
resulting yield in dwelling units and average density. If we build out to what we have
planned, we get a density of 8.93 within the current undeveloped area. Currently, Central
Point has an average density of 4.9.
Don Burt pointed out [hat we have converted everything into net acreage and Herb Farber
requested that "net" be added [o the tables. Mr. Burt stated further that this was just an
introduction to the density issue. Staff would bring back the land use element for review
and there would be policies available at that time as well.
