STAFF REPORT
March 5, 2015
AGENDA ITEM: File No. 14009
Review of Approved Resolution No. 814 with Commission's recommended changes to the Conceptual Land Use and
Transportation Plan for Urban Reserve Area CP-1 B; Applicant: City of Central Point.
STAFF SOURCE:
Tom Humphrey AICP, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND:
The City's Regional Plan Element includes a provision that prior to expansion of the urban growth boundary into an urban
reserve area it is necessary to adopt conceptual land use and transportation plans for the affected urban reserve.A second
urban growth boundary application has been submitted to Jackson County on behalf of CardMoore Trucking that includes
50 acres of CP-1B. City staff has prepared a Conceptual Land Use and Transportation Plan to comply with the
performance measures and the conditions of the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan.
The Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 814 at their last meeting which forwarded a recommendation of
approval to the City Council with several revisions they asked be made to the Conceptual Plan. City Staff also had some
last minute input from other sources who asked for additional revisions. The rescheduling of the Joint Planning
Commission meeting allowed for this item to return to the City Commission for review before the City Council has to
take action.
ISSUES:
The concept plan is a general land use guide prepared in accordance with, and intended to facilitate
implementation of the Central Point Regional Plan Element. It does not address compliance with the Oregon
Statewide Land Use Planning Goals, applicability of land use planning law, or comprehensive plan compliance.
Various changes were made to clarify new land use designations and not zoning in the Concept Plan. The
implementation guidelines were adjusted to address new land use designations should the UGB be amended
prior to the City's adoption of these new designations. The Bear Creek Greenway was acknowledged as a
regionally significant transportation document. The performance measures section was amended to reflect input
from both the Commission and 1000 Friends of Oregon. Specific changes are highlighted in red font and will
also be discussed at the meeting.
EXHIBITS/ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment"A"—Tolo Area Concept Plan,A Conceptual Land Use and Transportation Plan for CP-1B (REVISED)
ACTION:
Review changes that have been made to the CP-1 B Concept Plan. Recommend 1) Approval of Conceptual Plan;
2) Recommend Approval with further revisions or 3) Recommend against the Conceptual Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Confirm Approval of Resolution No. 814 forwarding a favorable recommendation to the City Council to
approve the CP-1 B Concept Plan.

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 (URAs) a Conceptual Land Use Plan2 and a Conceptual
Transportation Plan3prior to or in conjunction with an Urban Growth Boundary(UGB)
amendment within a given URA.This document addresses both conceptual plans, which are
collectively referred to as the CP-18 Concept Plan ('Concept Plan'). Figure 1 illustrates CP-
1B's relationship to the City and the other URAs.
As used in this report the
term 'concept plan' refers

The concept plan is a general land use guide prepared in accordance with, and intended to
facilitate implementation of the Regional Plan Element. It does not address compliance with
the Oregon Statewide Land Use Planning Goals, applicability of land use planning law, or
comprehensive plan compliance.These items will be appropriately addressed at some other

time as the area's planning proceeds through UGB amendment,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-1B; 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-1B 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-1B is that it will develop as a regionally significant
employment hub that is populated with transportation-oriented uses and
complementary businesses given the URA's proximity to an interchange, access to rail
and location on a state freight route. The area is currently home to aircraft
manufacturer Erickson Air Crane and Cardmoore Trucking. It is viewed as a future
Central Point employment area as it develops and becomes a part of the City.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-1B.
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-1B into one
basic land use classification; employment(100%). Employment land
includes three categories: retail, industrial, and public.The Land Use Plan
for CP-1B 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, and
tabulated in Table 1 as follows:
Page 3 of 20
i. Industrial.The Comprehensive Plan's industrial designation is
intended to 'establish a strong and diversified sector'and to
'maximize new development opportunities'. Land Use is broken
down into two categories with the possibility of a third.
• Light Industrial;
• General Industrial;
• Business Park (Business Offices and Service Commercial)
which is compatible with and closely related in nature of
business to uses permitted in the City's M-1 and M-2 zoning
but may be developed independent of those zones.
ii. Commercial.The Comprehensive Plan's commercial designation
is intended to meet the needs of the immediate market area
and not the traveling public. In this case, retail uses are internal
and to intended to serve the Tolo Employment area exclusively
and reduce out of area vehicle trips.
iii. Public. 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, natural
drainage and agricultural buffers. It also provides opportunities
for passive recreational/open space use.

b. The Conceptual Transportation Plan (`Transportation
Plan')
The regionally significant transportation documents affecting CP-1B are
Interstate 5(1-5), Blackwell Road/OR 140 and the Bear Creek Greenway
Management Plan. The Concept Plan identifies all of these plans (Figure 2,
CP-1B Concept Plan)and includes policies that encourage the thoughtful
development of the interchange and surrounding properties.
Page 4 of 20
c. Implementation Guidelines
The following guidelines are intended to serve as future action items:
Policy CP-1B.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-1B Concept Plan, Figure 2 except
where the concept plan depicts a designation that does not currently
exist in the City's Comprehensive Plan. In such cases, the City may apply
a designation it deems appropriate under its current map designations.
Policy CP-1B.2 Transportation: At time of inclusion in the City's urban
growth boundary(UGB)the local street network plan, road alignments
and transportation improvements identified in various state plans will
be included in the City's Transportation System's Plan (TSP)as
illustrated in the CP-1B Concept Plan, Figure 2 and where feasible.The
City has already adopted TAMP 35 by resolution.
Policy CP-1B.3 Urban Growth Boundary Management Agreement
(UGBMA):At time of adoption of a revised UGBMA, CP-1B and CP-1C
will take precedence over the Area of Mutual Planning Concern (AMPC)
a geographical area lying beyond the adopted urban growth boundary
in which the City and County have an interest in terms of the area's
types and levels of development, land uses environment, agriculture,
and other unique characteristics. However,the City and County will
continue to coordinate land use activity within AMPCs.
Policy CP-1B.4:Committed Residential Density:At time of UGB
Expansion into CP-1B,the county zoned residential land will cease to
exist and residential land uses will become legally non-conforming.The
Conceptual Plan for CP-1B does not include any land designated for
residential uses.
Policy CP-1B.5 Forest/Gibbon Acres Unincorporated Containment
Boundary:The City and Jackson County will have adopted an agreement
(Area of Mutual Planning Concern)for the management of
Forest/Gibbon Acres.
Policy CP-1B.6 Agricultural Mitigation/Buffering: At time of UGB
Expansion into CP-1B, the City and County will coordinate with RRVID to
identify, evaluate and prepare potential mitigation.The City will
implement agricultural buffers in accordance with adopted ordinances
at the time of annexation.

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-1B in its current condition.
Natural Landscape: CP-1B is traversed by multiple creeks and waterways east
and west of the railroad grade which bisects the URA from the northwest to the
southeast.Various ponds and wetlands have formed along the creeks and some
are independent from them. Topographically,the land in CP-1B rises 20 to 30
feet from Blackwell Road which forms the eastern boundary of most of the URA.
This results in something of a shelf that is level with the railroad grade.A lot of
developable land is accessible to the railroad on the east and west sides of it.
In spite of the numerous creeks, ponds and wetlands present in the URA,there
are relatively few tax lots that are subject to the flood hazards as shown in
Figure 4.Those areas that are subject to flood zones will be required to perform
mitigation.Aggregate mining sites are mostly located outside the boundaries of
the URA.
Cultural Landscape:CP-1B is principally oriented to the intersection of a railroad
and an interstate highway. Mines,quarries and mills characterized the town of
Tolo (northwest CP-1B) in the 1860's and it was envisioned to be one of the
biggest cities of Southern Oregon. It was platted in 1888, but was virtually
abandoned by the year 1918. In 1986,the Jackson County Commission returned
the plat to public ownership.The mill sites along the railroad have been reused
for long term storage and truck terminals.Aggregate quarries continue to be
operated outside the boundaries of CP-1B. Limited farming is done east of
Blackwell Road and other land has been subdivided into rural residential lots
west of Tolo Road. It is envisioned that this area could redevelop into a multi-
modal transport hub where cargo owners agree to move the goods by at least
two modes of transport under a single contract. Other employment is also
planned in the future under the jurisdiction of the City of Central Point.

b. Current Land Use Designations & Zoning
Jackson County zoning acknowledges the unique geographic features of CP-1B
by designating land for both General Industrial and Interchange Commercial
uses.The area's proximity to the interstate and the railroad justified these land
use designations originally and they are expanded in the Greater Bear Creek
Valley Regional Plan under the general category of Employment land.The
remainder of the land uses in the County's plan are as shown in Figure 5.

The proposed city zoning will be exclusively employment based in keeping with
the Regional Plan.
c. Existing Infrastructure
Water
Currently, public water service is not available to CP-1B, and will have to be
extended from the vicinity of Erickson Air-Crane property.
Sanitary Sewer
CP-1B is in the RVSS service area and there are trunk lines east of the URA and
along Blackwell Road (Figure 6). More lines will have to be extended to the area.
Storm Drainage
CP-1B does not have an improved storm drainage system and relies upon
natural drainage and drainage from road improvements to channel water to
Bear Creek.
Street System
CP-1B is accessed vial-5 Exit 33, Blackwell Road, Dean Creek Road,Tolo Road,
and Marita Terrace. TAMP 35 and the OR 140 Corridor Plan dictate the nature of
improvements over the next 20 year period.These documents call for an
internal circulation plan which the concept plan proposes in Figure 2.The Bear
Creek Greenway will be extended through URA CP-4D into and around CP-1B by
taking advantage of open space and floodways in Jackson County.
Irrigation District
CP-1B is located within the Rogue River Valley Irrigation District (RRVID).
Irrigation water is transferred via natural means. There are no dedicated
irrigation canals(Figure 7).

e. Applicable Performance Indicators
The following addresses each applicable performance indicator per Table 3:
4.1.2. City Adoption. The City has incorporated the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional
Plan (GBCVRP) into the Central Point Comprehensive Plan as the Regional Plan Element.
Finding:The GBCVRP has been taken into account in the preparation of this Conceptual
Plan.
Conclusion 4.1.2: Complies.
4.1.3. Urban Reserve Management Agreement. An URMA was adopted by the City
when it adopted its Regional Plan Element.
Finding:The URMA has been taken into account in the preparation of this Conceptual
Plan.
Conclusion 4.1.3: Complies.
4.1.4. Urban Growth Boundary Management Agreement.The UGBMA between Central
Point and Jackson County has recently been revised to institutionalize and direct the
management of Forest/Gibbon Acres as an Area of Mutual Planning Concern. Other
changes in the agreement add an intent and purpose statement, align procedural
language with the County Comprehensive Plan and obligate the City and County to
involve affected Irrigation Districts in the land use planning process.
Finding:The UGBMA has been taken into account in the preparation of this Conceptual
Plan.
Conclusion 4.1.4: Complies.
4.1.6. Mixed Use/Pedestrian Friendly Areas. For land within a URA, each city shall
achieve the 2020 Benchmark targets for employment(Alternative Measure No. 6) as
established in the most recently adopted RTP.
Page 15 of 20
Finding:The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)Appendix B, Page 10 lists a 44%mixed-
use employment target for new development by 2020. New land use categories in the
Conceptual Plan can be adapted to create walkable/mixed use neighborhoods in CP-1B.
Conclusion 4.1.6: Complies.
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:The regionally significant transportation corridor within CP-1B is the OR
140 Corridor which extends from I-5 Exit 35 to Brownsboro-Eagle Point Road.
Additionally,the Interchange Area Management Plan for Exit 35 (IAMP-35)
identifies public improvements and projects that have been taken into
consideration as part of the CP-1B Conceptual Plan.The Bear Creek Greenway
system, which is predominantly pedestrian and bicycle oriented affects part but
not all of CP-1B. The Concept Plan acknowledges the proximity of the Bear
Creek Greenway system.The plan generally represents an enhanced local street
network and access management improvements that are proposed in the OR
140 Corridor Plan and in TAMP-35.
Conclusion 4.1.7.1: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:
Page 16 of 20
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.
Finding:As illustrated in Table 4 the proposed land use distributions in the CP-
