Submitted to the May( Approved by the May Filed in the Office oft e Recorder L - ATTEST: Heather Pierson, City Recorder City of Woodburn, Oregon Page 1 - Council Bill No. 2996 Resolution No. 2072 1 Exhibit A Legislative Amendments Woodburn Development Ordinance Scrivener Errors 1. In Section 1.02, the definition of Home Occupation references Section 2.02.12. The correct reference is to Section 2.07.10, which contains the regulations for Home Occupations. 2. Table 2.02A (Uses Allowed in Residential Zones) lists "Garage (or carport in the case of a manufactured home)" as an accessory use. The reference to carports for manufactured dwellings is from the previous WDO and should be deleted. 3. Section 2.07.02 contains the redundant word "vehicle". 4. Section 3.01.01.A, the plural term "Rights-of-way" should be corrected to the singular. 5. Table 3.04A (Access Requirements), the row title "Corner Clearance Guidelines" should have the dimension "feet' added. 6. Table 3.068 (Plant Unit (PU) Value), the rows for Large trees and Medium trees should have a closed parenthesis after the word "maturity. 7. In Table 3.06D, footnotes should all be separated by commas. 8. Section 3.07.02.A should include August 12, 2013 as the date of adoption. 9. Section 3.07.02.A states that "Manufactured dwellings have different standards for roofing, exterior finish and garage/carports; otherwise, all standards in this Section apply to manufactured dwellings." Reference to carport should be deleted. 10. Section 3.07.02.D.2.c is missing a "the". 11. Table 3.10.10B should provide for monument signs for sites with multiple street frontages. 12. In the heading of Table 3.10.10E (Permanent Signs in the IP, IL, and SWIR Zones), the formatting needs correction. 13. Other scrivener errors as determined during the course of this update. Other Revisions 1. Section 1.02 establishes the definition for lot lines, defining that the front lot line is parallel to the street providing access. Lot width and depth is measured from the front property line. Lot standards and setbacks should be revised to reflect flag lots and their lot orientation to lot access. 2. Table 2.02E establishes setback standards for multi -family dwellings, requiring a minimum 24 foot setback from the side and rear property lines. The side and rear setbacks for multiple -family dwellings are significantly greater than for single-family or duplex dwellings in the same zone, Setback standards for multi -family dwellings should be evaluated. Table 2.03E establishes setbacks in the Mixed Use Village zone. This section should be revised to reduce the setback from non-residential zones. 4. Table 2.04A lists allowed uses within the industrial zones. Consideration should be given to expand the list of uses allowed in the South West Industrial Reserve (SWIR) to include food processing and related activities. 5. Table 2.40F SWIR Lot Standards table references lots within and outside Woodburn's Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). Table should be revised to eliminate properties outside the UGB. 6. Section 2.05.04 establishes the standards for development within the Nodal Overlay Districts. The provision to allow either large or small lot development within the Nodal zones was inadvertently eliminated with the last rewrite of the WDO. Standards should be updated to correct situation. Table 2.02C should be updated to reflect allowance of large lots in the RSN. 7. Section 2.05.05, Interchange Management Area Overlay District, references properties within and outside of the UGB. This section should be updated to eliminate properties outside the UGB and to clarify ordinance intent. 8. Section 2.05.05 sets the boundaries of the Riparian Corridor and Wetlands Overlay District. The section should be updated to reference Ordinance 2018 and specific setback standards established by separate ordinance. 9. Section 2.06 establishes fence height standards for yards abutting a street. Corner and through lots abut two streets and have similar fence height standards along both frontages. Standards should be evaluated in light of these circumstances. 10. Table 3.1.1 requires a Special Setback of 50 feet for Major Arterial streets. The table should be updated to reflect the Highway 99E Corridor Plan and the reduced right-of-way requirements. 11. Section 3.06.07.C.1 provides that "Approval of Significant Tree Removal Permits shall be held in abeyance between November 1 and May 1, to allow inspection of the deciduous trees when fully leafed." Section should be revised to allow removal of dead non -deciduous trees at any time, since they are fully leafed year around. 12. Section 3.07.02 and Section 3.07.03 establishes architectural standards for single-family dwellings. These two sections should be revised to clarify how the percentages for windows and the limitation of garage area are determined. 13. Section 3.07.02 E requires that the main pedestrian entrance for dwellings must face the public street. Manufactured dwellings, due to typical construction standards, do not meet this standard. Standards for siting manufactured dwellings should be reviewed in light of ordinance requirements. 14. The Municipal Ordinance was amended to prohibit residential parking in unimproved areas. The definition of "improved area" includes gravel and conflicts with the requirements of the WDO (Section 3.05.02F) The WDO should be amended to clarify this conflict. 15. Other revisions as determined necessary during the course of this update.
