Bill 2947. Recorder Pierson read the two readings of the bill by title only since there were no
objections from the Council. Councilor Lonergan stated that he is in favor of this ordinance

McCallum stated that he is in favor of atemporary ban. Councilor Cox stated that he is not in
favor of this ordinance and would like to wait and see what the legislature passes. Councilor
Morris stated that he is in favor of the ordinance. Councilor Ellsworth believes it is fitting
that the Woodburn Development Ordinance addresses this issue on zoning of these facilities.
Councilor Alonso Leon stated that she supports the wait and see approach and that waiting for
more information to make a decision makes the most sense. On roll call vote for final passage,
the bill failed with a vote of 5-1 with Councilor Cox voting no. Mayor Figley announced that
a special meeting for the second reading of the Ordinance will need to be held this week.
Councilor Cox stated that he has not changed his opinion on the matter but in the interest of
efficient governing and avoiding an unnecessary meeting, asked if he could change his vote.
City Attorney Shields stated that Councilor Cox could change his vote or choose to abstain
from voting. Councilor Cox stated that he would like to withdraw his no vote and abstain
from voting. Mayor Figley declared Council Bill No. 2947 duly passed with Councilor Cox

Findings in Support
General Provisions
Per Section 5.104, annexations are Type IV decisions. Per Section WDO 4.101.02.D, the City
Council is the decision-maker forType IV decisions, after receiving a recommendation from the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 9, 2014 and
forwarded the case to the Council with a unanimous recommendation of approval. The City
Council Commission held a public hearing on February 24, 2014 and directed Staff to prepare an
Ordinance of annexation.
WDO 5.104.01 Annexation
Section 5.104.01.B requires a pre-application conference with the applicant. The pre-
application conference was conducted on October 27, 2013.
Section 5.104.01.C.1 requires compliance with applicable Woodburn Comprehensive Plan goals
and policies regarding annexation. The goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan are
discussed later in this report.
Section 5.104.01.C.2 requiresthat the territory to be annexed be contiguous to the City and either
link to planned public facilities with adequate capacity to serve existing and future development
of the property, or guarantee that the presentpublic facilities have adequate capacity to serve
existing andfuture development of the property. The property immediately bordersthe City
limits on two sides. The Public Works Department notes that the existing public facilities have
adequate capacity to the property.
Section 5.104.01.C.3.a.1 provides the territory to be annexed should be contiguous to the City on
two or more sides. The property is contiguous to the City on the north and west sides.
Section 5.104.01.C.3.a.2 provides that the annexation should not increase the inventory of
buildable land designated on the Comprehensive Plan as Low or Medium Density Residential
within the City to more than a five-year supply. The City has not annexed residential land since
2001. The proposed annexation could be subdivided into five or sixsingle-family lots. Building
permit records show that 101 permits for single-family dwellings were issued in the years 2009
through 2013. The proposed annexation represents less than a four-month supply of residential
land at the rate of building that has occurred in Woodburn in the past five years.
Section 5.104.01.C.3.a.3 provides that the annexation should reflect the City’s goals for directing
growth by using public facility capacity that has been funded by the City’s capital improvement
program. The property abuts the City limits on two sides and would utilize existing streets and
utilities.
Section 5.104.01.C.3.a.4 provides that the site should be feasible for development and extend the
arterial/collector street pattern. The property is adjacent to existing residential development, is
essentially flat, and is serviceable by public utilities. Brown Street is designated as a Service
Collector in the Transportation System Plan. Additional right-of-way and improvements would
be provided upon development of the property.
ANX 2013-01 1225 Brown Street Exhibit “D”
Findings in Support
Section 5.104.01.C.3.a.5 provides that the annexation should fulfill a substantial unmet
community need that has been identified by the City Council after a public hearing –such as
park space and conservation of significant natural or historic resources. The annexation would
address the need for additional residential land within the City.The last annexation of residential
land occurred in 2001.
Section 5.104.01.D.1 provides that an annexation may be initiated by petition based on the
written consent of one hundred percent of the owners and fifty percent of the electors within the
territory proposed to be annexed. The annexation petition has been certified to be signed by one
hundred percent of the owners. The property is vacant and there are no resident electors.
Section 5.104.01.E provides that an annexation shall be designated consistent with the
Woodburn Comprehensive Plan, unless an application to re-designate the property is approved as
part of the annexation process. The property is designated Low Density Residential on the
Comprehensive Plan Map. The petitioner has not requested that either the Comprehensive Plan
Map or the Zoning Map be amended. The property is designated Residential Single-Family (RS)
upon annexation, in accordance with Section 5.104.01.E.
Note: Compliance with Sections2.102 (Single-Family Residential Zone), 3.101 (Street
Standards), 3.102 (Utilities and Easements), 3.103 (Setback, Open Space and Lot Standards),
3.104 (Access), 3.105 (Off-Street Parking and Loading), 3.106 (Landscaping), 3.107
(Architectural Design), and 3.108 (Partition and Subdivision Standards) is not germane to the
annexation, and will be required when the property is developed.
Woodburn Comprehensive Plan
The annexation goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan guide the shape and geographic
area of the City within the urban growth boundary, so that the City limits define a compact
service area for the City, reflect a cohesive land area that is all contained within the City,and
provide the opportunity for growth in keeping with the City’s goals and capacity to serve urban
development.
OAR 660-014-0070 requires that the annexation comply with all appropriate statewide planning
goals, unless the acknowledged comprehensive plan controls the annexation. Woodburn’s
Comprehensive Plan controls the requested annexation.
Policy G-2.1 requires an assessment of the proposed annexation’s conformance with the City’s
plans, facility capacity, and impact on the community. This report and the agency comments
provide the required assessment.
Policy G-2.2 states that Woodburn will achieve more efficient utilization of land by
incorporating all of the territory within the City limits that will be of benefit to the City,
providing for the urban infill of vacant and underutilized property, fostering an efficient pattern
of urban development in the City, maximizing the use of existing City facilities and services, and
balancing the costs of City services among all benefited residents and development. The
ANX 2013-01 1225 Brown Street Exhibit “D”
Findings in Support
property abuts the City limits on two sides and would utilize existing streets and utilities.The
proposed annexation maximizes the efficient use of existing City facilities and services, and is
similar to infill development of vacant land.
Policy G-2.3 states that Woodburn will use annexation as a tool to guide the direction, shape and
pattern of urban development, smooth transitions in the physical identity and the development
pattern of the community, andpromote the efficient use and extension of City facilities and
services. The proposed annexation would utilize existing streets and utilities, and would not
require the extension of City facilities and services.
OVERALL FINDINGS
The proposed annexation meets the requirements of the Woodburn Development Ordinance and
the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the proposed ordinance granting a Telecommunications Franchise to
Zayo Group, LLC, to occupy certain rights-of-way in the City of Woodburn.

Group, LLCapplied for a telecommunications franchise on February 12, 2014to
install telecommunications facilities within the City, connecting a tower at
Progress Way and Industrial Avenue to facilities in Highway 99E(see Exhibit “A”).
Under Federal and state law, cities must evaluate requests for franchises and
grant them if certain regulatory requirements are met. Cities may obtain
compensation for the use of their rights-of-way, but must do so on a
"competitively neutral and non-discriminatory basis".
DISCUSSION:
The proposed franchise allows Zayo Group, LLCto occupy specified City
rights-of-way (see Exhibit A) for five years. The franchise may be automatically
renewed for an additional five years under the same terms and conditions.
The franchise fee for use of the City’s rights-of-way is seven percent of Zayo
Group, LLC’s gross revenues earned within the corporate limits of the City, with a
minimum annual fee of one thousand dollars.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Franchise fee revenue to the City is estimated at one thousand dollars annually.
