The project site is located in the M-1 Industrial zoning district, Lot 9 of tentatively approved Federal Way Business Park and identif ed is on the Jackson County Assessor's map as 37S 2W 12 B, part of Tax Lot 200. Applicant: Bob Gude, dba Janes Medford, LLC; Agent: Neathamer Surveying, Inc. STAFF SOURCE: Connie Clune, BACKGROUND: On May 6, 2008, the Planning Commission granted tentative approval for the Airway Business Park Subdivision by Resolution No. 746. The subdivision name has changed to Federal Way Business Park. A final plat for the subdivision has no# yet been filed, and as such, completion of the subdivision is necessary and a condition of any site plan approval. General Project Description: The proposed 59,135 square foot single story building will be a package distribution and delivery center for FedEx Ground. The project site is 8.26 acres known as Lot 9 of Federal Way Business Park. The site design provides the package distribution center, administrative offices, material handing, van loading areas and the required parking areas. Fencing along the perimeter of the site will be eight (8} feet in height providing security for the facility and will be a black vinyl coated chain link design. In addition, the site plan indicates an area for future expansion of the building, truck and auto parking. The project site is large enough to accommodate this building and parking area expansion {see Attachment A, Applicant's sheet C.2). As submitted, the future addition complies with CPMC setback and parking requirements. FedEx Ground distribution and delivery facilities are in operation 24 hours per day, seven (7) days a week, and 365 days per year. Incoming packages are delivered. to the facility via tractor trailers, sorted, distributed and loaded onto FedEx Ground delivery vehicles. The delivery vehicles return with packages picked up during the day. These delivery vehicles are parked inside the facility until the next day's deliveries. Access: The project has direct access from Federal Way that intersects with Hamrick Road. Federal Way is an industrial street within the approved subdivision. A condition of the tentative approval for the Page 1 of 3 subdivision is the improvements to Hamrick Raad and construction of Federal Way. The landowner, Cris Galpin, is working with the City's Public Works Department to design these improvements. As noted in the Public Works staff report, a Traffic Impact Analysis is not required for this project; however, future structural development within the Business Park may #rigger the need for updated data (see Attacchmen# D}. Landscaping The design incorporates low ground cover planting with street trees along Federal Way and in front of the building. Lawn areas will utilize a droughttolerant hydro seeding method similar to that used along freeway interchanges. The irrigation system will be designed to maintain all planting areas. Parking: CPMC Section 17.E4.020 requires two (2) truck loading berths; this project provides two {2) loading bays and seventeen {i7) docking bays. Packages are distributed to each delivery van through the drive-in loading bays, and the docking bays handle incoming packages. Additionally, CPMC 17.64(H)(2) requires two (2} spaces per each three {3) employees ar one (1) space per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, whichever is greater. The project will have 40 employees {13 spaces) and the gross floox area will require 59 spaces. The project provides G4 auto parking spaces, the appropriate number of dedicated ADA spaces and a designated area for an additiona128 spaces. The project satisfies the off-street parking spaces requirements. FINDINGS: See Attachment "H" ISSUES: Ta date, the final subdivision plat has not been f led. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. A final plat for the Federal Way Business Park subdivision shall be approved and f led prior to commencement of construction and issuance of any building permits. 2. An eight (8) foot perimeter fence will require a building permit per CPMC section 17.57.020. 3. Conditions as listed by the City of Central Point Public Works {Attachment D), Jackson County Roads {Attachment E), Building Department (Attachment F),), and Rogue Valley Sewer Services (Attachment G). 4. The applicant shall submit a signage plan prior to sign permit approval. Said plan shall be consistent with the provisions of CPMC Section 15.24 and Section 17.48.080. S. Site Plan Approval shall lapse and became void one {1) year following the date an which it becomes effective unless construction has commenced.

I. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY The Applicant is seeking Site Plan Approval fora 59,135 square foot building encompassing a package distribution and delivery center far FedEx Ground within the M-i Industrial zoning district. APre-Application- Conference was held on June 3, 2008 to discuss the proposed site and procedural requirements pursuant to Sections 17.64 and 17.72 of the City of Central Point Land Development Code. Said package distribution center site is located within Lot 9 of the future Federal Way Business Park Subdivision, fronting on Federal Way southwesterly of the intersection of Hamrick Road and Tabie Rock Road (Jackson County Assessor's Map Number 37 2W 12B, Tax Lot 200). The total project site area is 8.26 acres, consisting of: a central employee parking area adjacent to the primary access point; an accessory parking area for trailer, dolly and tractor trailer parking; a paved lot encircling the central structure for internal looped circulation; and the central building housing the distribution center itself. Contained within the package distribution center are administration offices, restrooms, material handling and van loading areas. In addition, there is an area at the northeast corner of the proposed structure indicated for future building expansion. The intent here is to provide the ability to further expand the shipping and processing uses within the facility, if such growth was deemed necessary at a point in the future. This expansion area would contain the equipment needed for shipping and processing uses. As shown on Sheet A2.0 of the structural elevations plans, said expansion area would include 4 additional docking bays along the northerly elevation of the structure. Additional areas for potential future employee and tractor trailer parking are proposed as well. Distribution and delivery facilities for FedEx Ground such as the one proposed are in operation 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year. Each pick-up and delivery facility primarily sorts and redistributes small packages, housing a professional off ce and management staff, as well as well as a labor workforce. Incoming packages are delivered to the facility via tractor trailers from Hubs and other facilities throughout the FedEx Ground system, and are received through the unload-docking doors sealed to each trailer arriving to the facility. Though the hours of operation are unlimited, these deliveries occur primarily during evening and early morning hours, although deliveries to the facility from smaller tractor trailers can occur during the day. Once received, the packages are sorted, distributed and loaded to Fed>ax Ground delivery vehicles parked inside the facility (this process takes approximately 4 hours). The FedEx Ground delivery drivers arrive in the morning and then the vans exit the facility to deliver packages to customers. FedEx Home delivery vehicles arrive shortly thereafter, the drivers load the packages sorted for them, and then the vans exit the facility. The FedEx Ground delivery vehicles return to the facility in the late afternoon to early evening with packages picked up during the day. FedEx Ground delivery vehicles are parked inside the facility and turned off until they leave again the next day. Any packages picked up during the day are unloaded from the vans and sorted (an additional 4-hour process) to destination trailers waiting at load doors. This process is repeated daily.

F. No building permit shall be issued until approval, as provided in this chapter, has been obtained for any building or structure requiring plan approval according to the provisions of this title. FINDING -The proposed Site Plan Application is consistent with all applicable design standards set forth in Section 17.72.030 for issuance of a building permit. The proposed structure is located centrally within the subject property, takes access from the proposed Federal Way and does not create any potential to interfere with future streets currently proposed at this time. CONChUSION -The Site Plan Application as prepared is consistent with Criterion 1. Criterion 2 In approving, conditionally approving, or denying the plans submitted, the city shall base their decision on the following standards: A. Landscaping and fencing and the construction of walls on the site in such a manner as to cause the same to not substantially interfere with the landscaping scheme of the neighborhood, and in such a manner as to use the same to screen such activities and sights as might be heterogeneous to existing neighborhood uses.

Accessibility and sufficiency off re fghting facilities to such a standard as to provide far the reasonable safety of life, limb and property, including, but not limited to, suitable gates, access roads and fire lanes so that all buildings on the premises are accessible to ire apparatus. FINDINGS -The proposed Landscape Plan reflects the Applicant's efforts to provide an aesthetic value to the currently vacant property. through professional building design and landscaping. As shown on said plan, landscaping design for the developed portion of the subject property contains a variety of low ground-cover plantings, with Marshall Red Ash and Red Oak trees along the property's entire Federal Way frontage for a visual screen affect. Bloodgood Plane trees shall be placed intermittently along the westerly facade of the structure for additional aesthetic value. Areas indicated as `low-maintenance lawn area' are shown along portions of the subject property. These areas indicate sections of the site that are not proposed to be improved at this current time. Said areas will utilize ahydro- seeding method per the same specifications currently employed by ODOT along areas such as landscaped freeway interchanges. This method makes use of a particular seed which is very drought-tolerant and is recommended for areas that receive k0"-18" of annual rainfall, The method has been utilized throughout county and state highway areas of high congestion to minimize maintenance while providing a clean, professional look. Said areas will not receive supplemental irrigation but should be mowed at least twice each year (late spring and fall}. Fencing along the perimeter of the subject property will be 8' tall, consisting of black vinyl-coated chain ]ink design. An aesthetic mix of two-tone monarch brick along the metal-frame structure's fagade, combined with the intermittent trees along the westerly side of the structure, provide a clean view from the access point sufficient for the M-1 zoning designation. Access for the subject property is taken solely from Federal Way, which connects directly to Hamrick Road. As discussed in the Pxe-Application Conference, impact to the existing public street (Hamrick Road) has been addressed previously in the Federal Way Business Park Subdivision, which is approved and currently udder construction. The proposed access point onto Federal Way was deemed adequate with no additional access points required. The proposed structure is located centrally within the subject property, therein providing for an efficient design which lends itself to sufficient supply for parking, loading and looped internal circulation, This configuration suitably provides the necessary balance between vehiclelpedestrian ixaffic flows and parking/loading areas within the M-1 zoning, in a safe and efficient manner. As shown on the structure elevations plans within Exhibit B {Sheets: C,3 & A2.0}, the proposed signage for the site is lirrlited solely to a singular small lit sign located along the westerly elevation of the proposed structure, towards the upper left-hand corner of the side elevation. As indicated in the review comments supplied by Fire District No. 3 and incorporated herewith these findings, the Site Plan has been reviewed and approved with conditions for construction. CONCLUSION -The Site Plan Application overall is consistent with Criterion 2. Criterion 3 A. In all districts, except those specif tally excepted and notes; for each use for which a building is to be erected or structurally altered to the extent of increasing the floor area to equal the minimum floor area required to provide loading space and which will require the receipt or distribution of materials or merchandise by truck or similar vehicle, there shall be provided off=street loading space on the basis of minimum requirements, as follows: 1. Commercial, industrial, and public utility uses which have a gross floor area offve thousand square feet or more shall provide o -street truck loadin or unloadin berths in accordance with the ollowin table: Square Feet of F1oorArea o. of Berths Re ulred 5,000 to 30,000 1 30, 001 to 100, 000 2 B. A loading berth shall not be less than ten feet wide, thirty-five feet long and have a height clearance of twelve feet. Where the vehicles generally used for loading and unloading exceed these dimensions, the required length of these berths shall be increased. Tones Medford, LLC 14 Site Plan Findings FINDING -Currently the structural plans call for two 14'x 16' drive-in loading bays along the southerly side of the structure, as well as seventeen 8'x9' individual docking bays along the northerly side (see Sheet A2.0). Packages are distributed to each delivery van through the drive-in loading bays, and the docking bays handle incoming packages. This number of loading areas adequately handles the needs of the proposed use while more than sufficiently addressing the requirements in Section 17.64.020. CONCLUSION -The proposed parking and loading facilities adequately address those requirements of Section 17.64.020 and are consistent with Criterion 3. Criterion 4 In all districts, except those specifically excepted and noted, in connection with any use whatsoever, there shall be provided, at the time any building or structure is erected or is enlarged or increased in capacity or the use is changed or increased in intensity, off=street parking spaces for automobiles for the enlarged or increased portion in the case of an addition or for the building, structure or use in other cases, in accordance with the requirements herein. The number ofof)=street parktnQ spaces required for specific land uses shall be asset forth in the following schedule: USE STANDARD I. Industrial and anufacturing 2. Warehousing and other of less than two spaces per each three employees on the two largest adjacent sh~s*, or one space storage facilities. er each one thousand square feet ofgross floor area, whichever is greater. (*One space per employee if the business has only one shy}, 3. Industrial vehicles. One space for each vehicle kept or operated in connection with the use. FINDING -There is an anticipated number of 40 employees on staff during the largest shift, and the facility overall contains 59,135 square feet of area. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 17.64.040 listed above, the Applicant finds that the calculation utilizing the grass floor area should be applied, requiring a minimum of 59 standard parking spaces. The 64 standard parking spaces shown on the proposed Site Plan, as well as the 4 additional handicap parking spaces, demonstrate that the parking requirement is more than sufficiently met. This is due in part to the vast experience over time constructing and managing previous facilities identical to the one currently proposed, therein allowing FedEx Ground to calculate the parking requirements necessary far such an event. In addition, it is anticipated that some of the package handlers and office staff may likely elect to utilize mass-transit for their commute(s), therein diminishing the possible number of employees parking on site. CONCLUSION -The Site Plan is consistent with Criterion 4. VI. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSLONS: The Commission concludes that the request complies with Sections 17.64 and 17.72 of the Central Point Land Development Code.
