15 3.106.011
16 B. To the entire site area of the development, where the cumulative effect of
17 additions to structures and/or parking areas increases the total area
is covered by structure and parking by 50 percent or more than existed at the
19 date of the WDO adoption. [WDO 3.106.011
20
21 Findings: This proposal for a new medical/professional building consists of a new
22 structure, parking spaces, and accessory structure (trash enclosure). The proposal does
23 not consist of single-family dwellings, and duplexes. The proposed development does not
24 involve additions to structures and/or parking spaces. The proposal generates a parking
25 requirement of 32 off-street parking spaces.

14 3.106.03.A.2.b.11
15 Findings: The site plan shows that the front yard contains approximately 33,769 square
16 feet. A total of 1,688 (33,769 divided by 20 = 1,688) plant units would be required to
17 achieve a density of 1 plant unit per 20 square feet. Almost the entire lot except the
18 building footprint and the area behind the building is the front yard. There is a proposed
19 20 wide landscape strip between the property line and the parking area. Two large
20 triangular shaped planting areas on the sides of the property between the parking area,
21 road, and buffer walls. There are also several small planters in and around the parking
22 area. The submitted landscape plan shows the total proposed plant units for the front
23 yard to be approximately 778 plant units leaving the development short 910 plant units of

13 visible from a street or parking area should be avoided.
14 4) The color of at least 90 percent of the wall, roof, and awning surface visible
15 from a street or public parking area should be an "earth tone" color
16 containing 10 parts or more of brown or a "tinted" color containing 10

24 Finding: The applicant submitted a landscape plan. The applicant is proposing a single
25 story structure and 6 foot high buffer walls between the structure and the abutting uses.
26 The entire site, excluding the structures, paved parking and access, is required to be

31
32 Buffer Wall. A solid brick or architectural wall with anti -graffiti surface, no less
33 than 6 feet or greater than 7 feet in height:
34 a. Should be constructed on the perimeter property line of non-residential
35 development to mitigate adverse visual, noise and/or light impacts on the
36 abutting use when no comparable buffer exists, and
37 b. Shall be constructed where the standards of the underlying zone require
38 such a wall for a non-residential use in, or abutting, a RS, R1S, or RM
39 zoning district. WDO 3.107.06.B.81

12 2. Site access in compliance with Section 3.104 should be augmented by the
13 following considerations:
14 a. Vehicle Access.
15 1) Vehicle access points should be identified by accentuated
16 landscaped areas, by entrance throats designed to control access
17 from abutting parking and by monument type entrance signs.
18 b. Pedestrian Access and Circulation.
19 1) The buildings should be linked to the sidewalks on abutting
20 streets by internal pedestrian ways. Such pedestrian ways
21 should be either raised or delineated by distinctive pavers.
22 2) Parking areas should be designed in multiples of no more than
23 50 spaces separated by landscaped buffers or raised pedestrian
24 ways in order to minimize negative visual impacts associated
25 with expansive parking. [WDO 3.107.06.C]
26
27 Findings: The site plan shows a separate pedestrian access path from the sidewalk to the
28 entrance of the proposed building delineated with enhanced paving where it crosses the

EXHIBIT "C"
FINDINGS OF FACT
Findings of Fact:
1. The abutting property to the north and east are single family homes in Senior Estates
and are zoned Retirement Community Single Family Residential (RIS).
2. Table 2.1.9 of the WDO requires an interior setback of 10 feet and a solid brick or
architectural wall, no less than 6 feet or greater than 7 feet in height.
3. The proposed building is setback 10 feet from the abutting property lines. The site
plan shows 6 foot masonry buffer walls along the north and east property lines. Solid
brick or architectural walls would be required to mitigate the adverse visual, noise and/or
light impacts on the abutting uses.
4. The Planning Commission originally concluded that a 6 foot solid brick or
architectural wall was sufficient to mitigate the adverse visual, noise and/or light impacts
on the abutting uses.
5. The City Council "called up" the application and, at their meeting of November 10,
2008, conducted a de novo hearing specifically focusing on the issue of whether the 6
foot solid brick or architectural wall was sufficient to mitigate the adverse visual, noise
and/or light impacts on the abutting uses.
6. The City Council considered testimony from adjacent residents and additional
evidence entered into the record by the residents regarding the height of the wall.
7. The Environmental Assessment for the Woodburn Interchange Project at Interstate 5
@ Oregon 214/219 dated July 2005 was entered into the record. The Environmental
Assessment states that an area for noise mitigation consideration is the north side of
Highway 217 between Oregon Way and Astor Way, which is the location of the proposed
project. The Environmental Assessment states that a noise barrier 12 feet in height could
reduce the traffic noise levels at the homes. The residents that testified in opposition to
the project stated that development of the property and the construction of a 6 foot buffer
wall would not allow for MOT to construct the 12 foot noise barrier, therefore, the wall
provided by the applicant would be the only noise barrier provided to mitigate the traffic
noise from Highway 214.
8. Area residents asked City Council to require a 7 foot wall instead of the 6 foot wall
that was proposed by the applicant and approved by the Planning Commission. The
request for the 7 foot wall was based upon extensive testimony that a 6 foot wall would
not be sufficient to mitigate the adverse visual, noise and/or light impacts on the abutting
uses.
9. Testimony was presented that the proposed development had no landscaping planned
adjacent to the wall due to the applicant's parking space limitations given the
configuration of the site.
10. Testimony was presented that the proposed development of the site would
significantly increase visual and sound impacts.
11. Testimony was presented regarding the additional cost to the applicant for a 7 foot
wall instead of the 6 foot wall originally required by the Planning Commission.
Conclusions of Law:
1. The City Council concludes that it has legal discretion under the Woodburn
Development Ordinance Table 2.1.9. [WDO 2.105.05.C.2.a] to require a solid brick or
architectural wall, no less than 6 feet or greater than 7 feet in height.
2. The City Council further concludes that it should make its determination as to the
height of the wall based upon its assessment of what height is sufficient to mitigate the
adverse visual, noise and/or light impacts on the abutting uses.
3. The City Council further concludes that the testimony that it considered was at a de
novo hearing and its decision is based upon different testimony than the testimony that
was considered by the Planning Commission.
4. The City Council further concludes based upon the testimony presented that a 6 foot
solid brick or architectural wall is insufficient to mitigate the adverse visual, noise and/or
light impacts on the abutting uses.
5. The City Council further concludes based upon the testimony presented that a 7 foot
solid brick or architectural wall is necessary to mitigate the adverse visual, noise and/or
light impacts on the abutting uses.
6. The City Council further concludes based upon the testimony presented that the
additional cost to the applicant of the higher wall is relatively small given the
development cost of the entire project and that this additional cost is outweighed by the
need to mitigate the adverse visual, noise and/or light impacts on the abutting uses.
