Planner
In the C-2(M} Commercial-Medical
District, under permitted uses
Sectioe ] 7.37A20(D}, there is a
restriction on the continued use of
residential units located within the
district. In the C-2(M} district,
residential uses are classified as
non-confornting uses, but if
converted to an office use, may later
be reconverted to residential use.
However, if destroyed, a residence
canrrvt be reconstructed.
The purpose of the C-2 (M} district
is to assure that adequate rr~edical
care will be mailable to the citizens
of Central Point (Section
17.37.014}. The C-2 (M} district
was initially created to protect and
complement Cascade Hospital,
which no longer exists.
The only C-2(M} district is located
along Bush Street between South
First Street and South Fourth Street as ill-rshated in Figure 1. Tad:y the district is a mixed
neighborhood ofsingle-family dwellings (H}, three (3}duplex units (D}, acrd medical facilities
with associated services. The rrsideetial lots along Hush Street range from 5,400 to 7,920 sq. R.
Page 1 of 3
in size and are an example of the variety of existing lot sizes. The mixed character of the
neighborhood has functioned as such for aver twenty years.
Section 17.37.OZU{D) Permitted uses
Under the listing of permitted uses, residential uses are not allowed except under circwnstances
as prescribed in Section 17.37.020{D}. This section allows for the reconversion of medical
offices to residential provided that they were previously used for residential purposes. Eased on
this section, existing residential uses are treated as non-conforming uses, and therefore subject to
the non-conforminng provisions of Section 17.5b. Under the terms of Section I7.S5, if an existing
residential structure were to bum down it could only be replaced with an office or limited retail
use. This restriction imposes obstacles to the purchase or refinancing of dwellings within the
district.
Under the current zoning, residential uses will eventually be phased out and replaced with
medical offices and limi#ed commercial. The problem with this scenario is that the demand far
medical officesllimited commercial in this area is virtually non-existent as demonstrate over the
years with a lack of new commercial developmen#. Amending 17.37.024 {D} to state specifically
that residential uses are allowed would assure the continued residential development of the area
TINDINGS:
See Attachment "B"
ISSUE5:
1. Comprehensive Plan Compliance: Approval of the proposed text amendment must be
found to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Land Use
Element, Chapter 3~I, of the Comprehensive Plan identifies the C-2{M} zoned area as
Hospital-related Development. The 19801and use inventory listed Cascade Hospital as a
functioning medical facility. In addition, the inventory found that several single family
homes in the immediate vicinity had been converted to medical offices. A December 5,
2048 inventory of the C-2{M} area finds a treatment facility and medical offices located
on the fanner hospital campus. The inventory also finds one residential structure is a
youth facility with all other residential structures used as dwelling units. ^n the City's
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the area will remain designated for Commercial-Medical
use.
2. Public facilities, services and transportation networks to support the use are in place
and are sufficient to serve the C-2{M} zoning district.
3. Use of LMR Standards. If residential development is allowed to occur within the C-2
(M} district, the question is which standards apply. As a result of the current mixed use
character of the neighborhood, it is sugges#ed that the TAD Low Mix Residential {LMR}
district standards be used. The LINR zone provides for single family and lower density
multifamily housing types with a density of 5-12 units per acres which corresponds to the
cun~ent development pattern in the C-2{M} Zane. The R-1-6 {north and east), R-1-8
{south} and R-3 zones (north}, which border the G2{M} zone, do not provide for the
needed flexibility to allow for replacement of both existing single and multi-family
Page 2 of 3
structures. The R-1-5 zone does not allow far multi-family units and the R-3 zone has a
minimum lot size requirement of 6,00[3 sq. ft.

Hackgrvund:
The purpose of the C-2 (M} district is to assure that adequate medical care will be available
tv the citizens of Central Point (Section 17.37A10}. The C-2 (M} district was initially
created to pro#ect and complement Cascade Hospital, which no longer exists. Amending
17.37.020 (D} to state specifically that a residential use, developed to the TDD Low Mix
Residential (LMR} district standard is allowed, would provide clear and measurable code
standards while resolving the current nebulous language. The LMR zone provides for single
family and lower density multifamily housing types with a density of 6-12 units per acre.
The current development pattern and variety of existing lot sizes in the C-2(M} area closely
fits development standard of Section 17.65.
These findings are prepared in four (4} parts tv address the statewide planning goals, the
applicable elements of City's Camprehensi~e Plan, public facilities and the Transportation
Planning Rule as required by CPMC 17.05.500 and 17.10.60[1.

predominantly residential, it was the purpose of the C-2(M} district to assure that
adequate medical care will be available to the residents of Central Point and enhance
Central Point's attractiveness as a location for private medical practices and other

PART Z CITY OF CENTRAL PGINT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
17.05 500 {G} {1} m The request is consistent with the Central Toint comprehensive
