DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
1:14
Assistant City Attorney Granum provided a staff report. Councilor Ellsworth stated that the
ordinance doesn’t leave enough time for people who may be loading or unloading their campers.
She added that there are inconsistencies about parking in the front of the house and would like to
see that revised to account for people who may live on corner lots. Councilor Schaub stated that
the restricted hours may bea hardship for people in her ward and would like that to be looked at a
little more carefully. Mayor Figley concurred and added we don’t want to restrict people who are
packing up to go camping but those who are using the street as storage for their RV. Councilor
Carney stated that he has heard from people that they are in favor of this revised ordinance but one
citizen suggested the wording in section 16(2)(b) should stand alone. Councilor Lonergan stated
that 10 days a year may be too restrictive but he likes the idea of having a time limit. Councilor
Carney stated that the biggest inhibitor seems to be the 10 days a year and he suggested that the
wording be changed to read that whenever a person parks an RV on a public street it has to be
moved in 48 hours off of public streets. He added that it’s a safety concern. Councilors were in
favor of the fire lane changes. City Administrator Derickson asked if the Council would like staff
to revise the ordinance with the Councils recommendations. Councilor Carney stated that he would
like to see it return in September. Councilor Schaub concurred with Councilor Carney and would
also like to see the number of complaints that come in and where they are located.

17
Findings: Section 5.04.01.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.
Findings: Section 5.04.01.C.2 requires that the territory to be annexed be contiguous to
the City and either link to planned public facilities with adequate capacity to serve the
existing and future development of the property, or guarantee thatthe presentpublic
facilities have adequate capacity to serve the existing and future development of the
property. The property immediately bordersthe City limits, which are to the west.Water

facilities with capacity to serve the property’s future needs.
Conclusion:The application complies with Section 5.04.01.C.2.
Findings: Section 5.04.01.C.3.a.1 provides that the territory to be annexed should be
contiguous to the City on two or more sides. The term “should” is a discretionary term
and subject to Council’s review. The property is contiguous to the City on the west side,
while compliance to the standard of “contiguous on two or more sides” would require
neighboringproperties toannex. The applicant contacted adjacent properties to
determine interestin annexing. Adjacent property owners were not interested in annexing
at this time.
Conclusion: The application complies with Section 5.04.01.C.3.a.1.
Findings: Section 5.04.01.C.3.a.2 provides that the annexationshould 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 annexed
approximately 1 acre of residentially designated land in 2014. Few vacant developed lots
exist in the City and the supply of vacant land available for development is limited. The
subject property is adjacent to public utilities and is serviceable for development.
Conclusions:The proposed annexation represents less than a one monthsupply of
residential land at the rate of building that has occurredin Woodburn in the past five years.
The application complies with Section 5.04.01.C.3.a.2.
Findings: Section 5.04.01.C.3.a.3 provides that the annexation should reflect the City’s
goals for directing growth by using public facility capacity thathas been funded by the
City’s Capital Improvement Program. The property abuts the City limits and utilities are
available, or can be made available, to serve the property.
Conclusion: The application complies with Section 5.04.01.C.3.a.3.
4
18
Findings: 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.
Cooley Road is designated as a Service Collectorwhile Barn is a local street.Additional
right-of-way and improvements would be provided upon development of the property.
Conclusion: The application complies with Section 5.04.01.C.3.a.4.
Findings: Section 5.04.01.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 2014and the City has fewresidential lots
still available for development.
Conclusion: The application complieswith Section 5.04.01.C.3.a.5.
Findings: Section 5.04.01.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 applicant lives on
the property with his family. Marion County permitted a temporary dwellingunit on the
property under their medical hardship provision. There are no resident electors.
Conclusion: The application complies with Section 5.04.01.D.1.
Findings: Section 5.14.01.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 notrequested
that either the Comprehensive Plan Map orthe Zoning Map be amended.
Conclusion: The property would be zoned Residential Single-Family (RS) upon
annexation, in accordance withSection 5.04.01.E.
Note: Compliance with Sections 2.02 (Single-Family Residential Zone), 3.01 (Street
Standards), 3.02 (Utilities and Easements), 3.03 (Setback, Open Space and Lot
Standards), 3.04 (Access), 3.05 (Off-Street Parking and Loading), 3.06 (Landscaping),
3.07(Architectural Design), and 3.08 (Partition and Subdivision Standards) is not
applicableto the annexation, and will be required when the property is developed.

Woodburn Comprehensive Plan
The annexation goals and policies of the Comprehensive Planguide 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 entirely
contained within the City, and provide the opportunity for growth in keeping with the City’s
goals and capacity to serve urban development.
Findings: OAR 660-014-0070 requires that the annexation comply with all appropriate
statewide planning goals, unless the acknowledged comprehensive plan controls the
annexation. The property is within Woodburn’s Urban Growth Boundary and upon
annexation would be subject to Woodburn’s Comprehensive Planand Development
Ordinance.
Conclusion: The proposed annexation complies with OAR 660-014-0070.
Findings:Policy G-2.1requires an assessment of the proposed annexation’s
conformance with the City’s plans, facility capacity, and impact on the community. The
property is immediately adjacent to City limits and public infrastructure is available to
serve the property. This report and the agency comments provide the required
assessment.
Conclusion: The proposed annexation complies with Comprehensive Plan policy G-2.1.
Findings: Policy G-2.2states that Woodburn will achieve mostefficient 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 underutilizedproperty, 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 property abuts the City limits and would utilize existing streets and
utilities.
Conclusions: The proposed annexation maximizes the efficient use of existing City
facilities and services, and is similar to infill development of vacant land. The proposed
annexation complies with Comprehensive Plan policy G-2.2.
Findings: Policy G-2.3states that Woodburn will useannexation 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.Theproposed annexation would utilizeexisting
streets and utilitiesand would not require the extension of City facilities and services.
Conclusion: The proposed annexation complies with Comprehensive Plan policy G-2.3.

OVERALLCONCLUSION
The proposed annexation meets the requirements of the Woodburn Development
Ordinance.Marion County approved aConditional Use Permit (CUP) for a medical
hardship on the property.With annexation, the health hardship becomes a non-
conforming use, subject to annual medical verification that the medical hardship continues
to exist, withthat verification(a Physician’s Certificate)being submitted to the City.
Marion County governs medical hardships as outlined below:
A.A doctor of medicine or licensed psychologist shall sign a statement indicating the
physical or mental condition that prevents the person(s) with the infirmity from providing
the basic self-careneeded to live on a separate lot. The statement shall also attest that
the physician or licensed psychologist is convinced the person(s) with the infirmity must
be provided the care so frequently, or in such a manner, that the caretaker must reside
on thesame premises.
B.The residence occupied by those having the infirmity shall not be occupied by others
capable of providing the needed assistance.
C.Those providing the needed assistance shall be related by blood, marriage or legal
guardianship and reside in another residence on the lot. If evidence is presented that
there is no family member able to provide the needed care, the caretaker may be
someone else.
D.Those providing the care must show that they will be available and have the skills to
provide the primary care required by the doctor or psychologist.
E.The existing residences on the property either cannot be modified or expanded to
accommodate those needing care, or there is some reason the caretaker and those with
the infirmity need to live in separate residences.
F.Either the residence occupied by the person(s) with the infirmity or those providing the
care shall be a mobile home or a dwelling that will be removed at such time as the
person(s) with the infirmity no longer reside(s)on the lot.An agreement to remove one of
the residences within 60 days of the date the person(s) withthe infirmity no longer
reside(s)on the lot shall be signed by the property owner and those providing the care.
7
21
G.The temporary residence shall, to the extent permitted by the nature of the property
and existing development:
1.Be located as near as possible to other residences on the property;
2.Not require development of a new driveway access to the street;
3.Be connected to the existing wastewater disposal system if feasible.
H.The use shall be subject to review every year and shall meet the above criteria in order
to qualify for renewal.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend that the City Council approveannexation ANX 2016-02.With annexation,
the heath hardship becomes a non-conforming use, subject to the following conditions:
1.Annually, a doctor of medicine or licensed psychologist shall sign a statement
indicating the physical or mental condition that prevents the person(s) with the infirmity
from providing the basic self-care needed to live on a separate lot. The statement shall
also attest that the physician or licensed psychologist is convinced the person(s) with the

Legislative Amendment LA 2016-01
RECOMMENDATION:
1.Hold public hearing on LA 2016-01and accept Planning Commission
recommendation to approve Woodburn Development Ordinance
amendments to Nodal Standards (Sections 2.02 & 2.05.04) and Fence and
Wall Standards (Sections2.06). If LA 2016-01is approved, staff will prepare
an ordinance amendment for adoption next meeting.
2.Direct staff to notice a new public hearing beforeCity Council on October
10, 2016 to consider that portion of LA 2016-01 on scrivener errors.
BACKGROUND:
Beginning in 2009, the Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO) was entirely
rewritten. Initially, sign standards were revised (2010). Then, in 2011, administrative
provisions were updated and in 2013, the remaining sections of the ordinance,
primarily dealing with land use standards, were updated. The ordinance was
again readopted in the fall of 2013 in order to address scrivener errors, resulting in
reformatting the WDO.
The WDO states that the Director shall keep a list of potential modifications to the
ordinance and report those to the Council, who may initiate such modifications if
they so choose. Additionally, Council can initiate such modifications anytime, at
their discretion. Council gave direction to address these WDO issues this past
February.
At the June23,2016Planning Commission Workshop, there was recognition of
rd
the need to update City fence standards. The current standards are restrictive
for corner and through lots. Additionally, fencing regulations in non-residential
areas aresimilar to residential standards and donot address security needs for
businesses.

With the 2005 Periodic Review and Urban Growth Boundary amendments, the
City enacted four new zoning districts, three of which are nodal zones (single
family, multi-family and commercial) as well as the South West Industrial Reserve
(SWIR).None of these zones have been utilized before, since these areas have
always been outside City limits in the contested Urban Growth Boundary (UGB).
However, now that the UGB is approved, discussions with potential developers
have highlighted the need to resolve any oversights and mistakesin the WDO
regarding these zones.
2016 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission held a
At the August 25,
public hearing on LA 2016-01 and took action on fence and nodal standards,
recommending that the City Council approve amendments to those sections of
the WDO.
The Commission continued the public hearing on the remaining amendments,
which primarily address scrivener errors, to their forthcoming September 22
nd
meeting. Those amendments will proceed to the Council separately at its
October 10, 2016 meeting.It is recommended that Council take action on nodal
and fence/wall standardsand continue the public hearing on LA 2016-01 to
October 10, 2016 to consider other proposed amendments, primarily dealing with
scrivener errors.
DISCUSSION:
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes that plans and implementing ordinances like
the WDO continue to evolve and change over time.
Between the years 2010–2013, the Woodburn Development Ordinance was
completely rewritten. Current fence standards for both residential and non-
residential properties are not meeting the needs for residents and businesses.
Secondly, while nodal standards encourage particular types of development,
existing standardsmake it difficult to develop. Legislative Amendment LA 2016-01
addresses these deficiencies.
The amendments are consistent with the intentof the Comprehensive Plan and
statewide goals and guidelines.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Legislative Amendment LA2016-01 revises development standards and should not
havefinancial impacts.

ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS OF FACT – Woodburn Development Ordinance
WDO 4.101Decision Making Procedures
Findings: Under Section 4.101.02.E of the Woodburn Development Ordinance, decisions
involving legislative actions where the City Council amends the City’s land use regulations,
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Map or some component of these documents where changes
are ofsuch a size, diversity of ownership or interest as to be legislative in nature under state
law,are Type V decisions. The Planning Commission holds an initial public hearing, which
they did on August 25, 2916on the proposal and makes a recommendation to the City
Council. The City Council then holds a finalpublic hearing and makes the City’s final
decision. The City Council’s action is the City’s final decision and is appealable to the Land
Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) within 21 days after it becomes final.
Conclusion: This legislative amendment is correctly processed as a Type V decision.

Findings: Under Section 4.101.03,the City Councilmay initiate any type of land use action
by amotion designating the appropriate City department to complete and file the
application. The City Council passed a resolution this past February,initiating Legislative
Amendment 2016-01. The Commission conducted a work shop in June and provided
directionfor the attached amendments.Other work shop meetings and public hearings will
follow to address other needed revisions.
Conclusion: The City Council directed staff to initiate amendments to the WDO. The
Commission conducted a workshop and provided direction on initial amendments to the
Ordinance.
Findings: Under Section 4.101.10, the Planning Commission shall hold at least one public
hearing, which it did on August 25, 2016 and recommended that theCouncil approve
amendments to the fence and nodal standards contained in the WDO. Several people
presented both written andoral testimony in support ofthe proposed amendments to the
fence standards at the Planning Commission hearing.
The Director provided notice tothe Oregon Department of Land Conservation and
Development (DLCD) at least 35 days before the first hearing,as required by the post-
acknowledgment procedures of ORS 197.610 to 197.625, as applicable.
Once the Planning Commission hearing wasscheduled and notices sent out, the Director
prepared and made available a report on the legislative proposal at least seven days before
the hearing.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the Planning Commission recommendedapproval of the
fence and nodal standards to the City Council. This staff report summarizes the report and
recommendation to the City Council on Legislative Amendment 2016-01.
The City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the proposalat its September 12,
2016 meeting. Anyinterested person may provide written or oral testimony on the proposal
at,or prior to,the hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may adopt,
modify or reject the legislative proposal, or it may remand the matter to the Planning
Commission for further consideration. If the decision is to adopt at least some form of the
proposal, and thereby enact or amend the City’s land use regulations, Comprehensive Plan,
official Zoning Map or some component of any of these documents, the City Council’s
decision shall be enacted as an ordinance.
Not later than five working days following the City Council’s final decision, the Director shall
mail notice of the decision to the DLCD,in accordance with ORS Chapter 197.

Conclusion
Development Ordinance and statutory requirements were met.
WDO 5.104.04Zoning Map Change, Owner Initiated
Findings: Section 5.104.04 governs changes to the Zoning Map that are initiated by a
property owner. This case is initiated by the City and applies to many separate properties.
Conclusion: Section 5.104.04 does not apply to the proposed Zoning Map amendment.
Findings: Under State statute, all cities and counties in Oregon must have an approved
comprehensive plan, along withimplementing ordinances. Amendments to an approved
comprehensive plan must be consistent with State statutes. Implementing ordinances must
also be consistent with each comprehensive plan.
The Woodburn Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted in1978, and subsequently
amended several times. The Woodburn Development Ordinance was adopted 2008, and
most recently amended in 2013.
LA2016-01 WDO UPDATE\\Staff report City Council
Page 4 of 8

Conclusion: Amendments to the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan and the Woodburn
Development Ordinance will be evaluated for consistency withthe Comprehensive Plan and
State statute.
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS OF FACT – Woodburn Comprehensive Plan
Findings: The Comprehensive Plan (Volume 1 Goals and Policy Amendments) states:
“The keystone of plan implementation is the Woodburn Development Ordinance
(WDO). This WDO ensures that the location and design of various land uses and
in some cases, the timing of those land uses, is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan. The WDO ensures that incompatible uses do not occur,
while allowing flexibility consistent with the purpose of the plan. The Zoning
Map will be more specific than the Comprehensive Plan Map, and may have more
designations than the Comprehensive Plan Map. In addition, there will be many
cases where the zoning ordinance will be more restrictive than the map. This is
because there are areas which must be retained in a more restrictive zoneuntil
public facilities are developed or public need is established for a zone change to a
less restrictive zone. However, in no case should the Zoning Map allow a use
which is less restrictive than that called for in the Comprehensive Plan.”
The currentfence and wall standards are restrictive for corner and through lots.
Additionally,fencing regulations in non-residential areas, which at present are similar to
residential standards, donot address security needs for businesses. Property and business
owners continue to express frustration with the current regulations. While the City offers
free fence permits,homeownersandbusiness owners continue to complain about the
current fence standards. Residents want to fence their properties to address privacy and
security needs. Business owners continue to beprimarily concerned aboutsecurity.
In 2005,City enacted four new zoning districts, three of which are nodal zones (single family,
multi-family and commercial) as well as the South West Industrial Reserve(SWIR). None
of these zones have been utilized before, since these areas have generally been outside City
limits. Recentdiscussions with potential developers have highlighted the need to updateand
revise the nodal standards. For example, while row housing is encouraged, current standards
discourage theirdevelopment; lot standards (width and depth) should be reducedin
recognition of the narrowness of this particular type of development.Likewise,nodal
standards recognize conventional development, but the WDO rewrite precludes that type of
development. The proposed update addresses these issues.
: The amendments insure that the WDO implements the Comprehensive Plan.
Conclusions
The proposed amendments clarify the intent of the WDO and simplify administration of the
Ordinance. The proposed amendments are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
LA2016-01 WDO UPDATE\\Staff report City Council

Findings: The Comprehensive Plan (Volume 1 Goals and Policy Amendments) states:
“The planning process is continuous. There is no plan that can foresee all of the
problems the future will bring. In most cases for decision, the Planning
Commission and Council will be petitioned by private citizens to change the
Comprehensive Plan designation of a particular parcel of property. This is a
quasi-judicial activity and should follow the procedures set outfor quasi-judicial
rulings. The Planning Commission should ensure that any change it makes in the
Comprehensive Plan is consistent with other goals and policies established in this
Plan. These changes, in general, should be justified by a solid body of evidence
presented by the petitioner showing the following:
1.Compliance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan;
2.Compliance with the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan;
3.Compliance with Statewide goals and guidelines;
4.That there is a public need for the change;
5.That this land best suits that public need;”
Between the years 2010–2013, the Woodburn Development Ordinance was completely
rewritten. Current fence standards for both residential and non-residential properties are
not meeting the needs or residents and businesses. While nodal standards encourage
particular types of development, existing standards make it difficult to develop. The rewrite
addresses these deficiencies.
: The Comprehensive Plan recognizes that plans and implementing ordinances
Conclusions
like the WDO continue to evolve and change overtime. The amendments are consistent with
the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Statewide goals and guidelines.
Findings: The Comprehensive Plan (Volume 1,Goals and Policy Amendments) states:
“Goal C-1 of the Comprehensive Plan is to coordinate with Marion County
regarding planning issues that extend beyond the boundaries of the City of
Woodburn, including amendments to the Comprehensive Planand
Transportation System Plan, and achievea compact urban growth form.”
Affected public agencies, including Marion County,have been notified on the proposed
amendments tothe WDO.
Conclusion: Legislative 2016-01complies with Goal C-1 of the Comprehensive Plan.

Findings: The State adopted 19 goals for state and local land use decisions. The statewide
planning goals applicable to this case are Goals 1 (Citizen Involvement), 2 (Land Use
Planning), 9 (Economic Development) and 12 (Transportation).
Goal 1 requires that the City develop a citizen involvement program that insures the
opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. Agency
and public notice has been provided. Open houses have been held and public hearings
conducted.
Goal 2 requires that the City establish a land use planning process and policy
framework as a basis for all decision and actions related totheuse of land and to assure
an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions. The Woodburn Development
Ordinance contains procedures and requirements for facts and findings. The proposed
amendments clarifythe intent of the WDO by:
Including diagrams, illustrations, tables, charts and maps
o
Updating and standardizing terminology
o
Eliminating conflicting standards and circular references
o
Making the ordinance more user-friendly
o
Correcting scrivener errors
o
Goal 9 requires the City to provide adequate opportunities for a variety of economic
activities vital to health, welfare, and prosperity. The amendments clarify the
standards of the Ordinance.
Goal 12 requires that the City provide and encourage a safe,convenient and economic
transportation system. The proposed amendments recognize the need fencing while
recognizing vision clearance standards along public streets.

2.05.04Nodal Overlay Districts
A. Purpose
Development within the Nodal Overlay Districts includes multi-family, single family,
attached single family (row houses) and small-lot single family development, with
limited commercial development and accessible parks. The intent of the overlay
districts is to provide community identity to higher density residential developments
within walking distance (generally one-half mile or less) of the neighborhood
commercial center. Nodal development will be designed with a pedestrian focus,
with interconnected streets and pedestrian walkways, alleys serving garages
located at the rear of lots, and with limited on-street parking.
Nodal Overlay Districts are shown on the Comprehensive Plan Map with zoning
applied at the time of annexation. To ensure that land is efficiently used within the
Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), master plans shall be requiredfor land within Nodal
districts.
B.Nodal Single Family Residential (RSN) and Nodal Medium Density Residential
(RMN) Districts
1.Vehicular access directly to a public street is prohibited and alley access to
garages facing the alley is required for anything other than standard single
family development.Off-street parking, maneuvering and storage is prohibited
within a required front or side setback, or any yard abutting a street with
attached single family and small-lot single family development.
2.Alleys shallbe required for all small lot single-family residential
subdivisions and attached single family (row houses) development.Alleys shall
be dedicated and paved to a minimum width of 20 feet. No parking shall be
allowed within an alley right-of-way.
C.MasterPlanning Requirement
1.A master development plan shall be approved by the City Council for the entire
area designated as Nodal Overlay on the Comprehensive Plan Map, prior to
annexation of any property within the Nodal Development Overlay
Comprehensive LandUse Plan map designation. The master plan shall be
conceptual and non-binding in nature, but may be used as a general guide for
development within the Nodal Overlay Districts.
40
2.The required master plan shall show:
a)The location and rights-of-way for existing and planned streets. These
streets shall provide access to all existing and proposed parcels, consistent
with the Transportation System Plan (TSP);
b)The location and size of existing and planned sanitary sewer, storm water
and water facilities, at adequate levels to serve existing and proposed
development;
c) The location and area of the Riparian Corridor and Wetlands Overlay
District (RCWOD). Planned streets and public facilities that cannot
reasonably avoid the RCWOD shall be indicated;
d)A development plan for the Nodal Neighborhood Commercial center,
neighboring multi-family areas, and potential parks, including planned
pedestrian and bicycle connections within the Nodal Overlay District as
shown on the Transportation System Plan, and pedestrian and bicycle
connections to Southwest Industrial Reserve areas;
e)A development plan for all residential areas, demonstrating consistency with
applicable nodal design standards.
D.Removal of a Nodal Overlay District
1.Removal of a Nodal Overlay District from any area or parcel shall require the
following:
a)A revised transportation, housing and commercial land needs analysis,
consistent with the Goal 9, 10 and 12 Rules (OAR Chapter 660, Divisions 8,
9 and 12);
b)A Comprehensive Plan Amendment that demonstrates compliance with all
applicable Statewide Planning Goals, applicable goals and policies of the
Marion County Framework Plan, and applicable goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan;
c) A zoning map amendment that demonstrates consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan.

Agenda Item
September 12, 2016
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:Jim Row, Assistant City Administrator
SUBJECT:
Public Hearing/Ordinance Amendments to adopt an updated Parks
and Recreation System Development Charges Methodology
RECOMMENDATION:
Thatthe City Councilconduct a public hearing and consider adoption ofan
ordinance amending Ordinance 2250 (The Parks and Recreation System
Development Charges Methodology Ordinance), effective October 13, 2016.
BACKGROUND:
SDClegislation was first adopted by the State of Oregon in 1989. SDCs are fees
that are charged to developers to fund the expansion of infrastructure for parks,
streets, water, wastewater, or storm water management systems. By statute,
SDCs can only be utilized to fund projects that add capacity to the system. The
City of Woodburn has collected and utilized parks and recreation SDCs since
1992. The parks SDC methodology was most recently updated in 1999,
immediately following an update to the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
While the Parks and Recreation Master Plan was updated again in 2009, the City
did not update the SDC methodology, since it was believed that the local market
could not accommodate increased development fees in the wake of the
economic and housing market recession.
DISCUSSION:
Now that the economy and housing market have recovered and the UGB
expansion has been approved, it is necessary to review and update the Parks
SDC methodology to ensure that the City collects the resources required to
expand the park system as necessitated by growth.
The SDC methodology that the Council is asked to consider adopting includes an
updated parks Capital Improvement Project (CIP) list, which has been reviewed
and is supported by the Recreation and Park Board.

State law has strict provisions that require a city to develop a formula, or
“methodology”, which takes into account the value of existing or planned
capacity in the infrastructure system to serve new development. Oregon law
allows for both a “reimbursement fee” and an “improvement fee.” A
“reimbursement fee”is based on the value of available reserve capacity for
capital improvements already constructed or under construction. The
methodology must consider the cost of existing facilities, prior contributions by
existing users, the value of unused capacity, grants, and other relevant factors.
The is designed to recover all or a portion of the costs
improvement fee
of planned capital improvements that add system capacity to serve future
development. The methodology must be designed in a manner that SDCs will not
exceed the growth-related costs from the CIP.
The ordinance presented for your consideration amends Ordinance 2250 (the
Parks and Recreation SDC Ordinance) to do the following:
Adds a new definition of SDCto include a “reimbursement fee,” in addition
to an “improvement fee,” as permitted by state law.
Adopts the Methodology Report dated July 11, 2016 as the statutory basis
for increasing any SDCs.
Amends the existing ordinance languagetorequire that theCity Council
approve annual rate adjustments, as opposed to them being authorized
solely by theCity Administrator. Additionally, the formula that is used to
calculate annual rate increases is revised to eliminate the average land
value factor, since theMarion County Assessor’s Office no longer produces
this figure. Annual rate adjustments will now be equal to the change in the
regional construction cost index.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The $18,000 cost to update the Parks SDC Methodology is funded by the Parks
SDC Fund. The current residential SDCs are $1,752 (single family), $1,882 (multi-
family), $1,160 (manufactured). It is proposed that the residential SDC be
increased to $3,365 for all housing types. The non-residential SDC will increase
from $31 per employee to $133 per employee. The increased revenues that are
expected to result from the updated methodology and resulting fees are
unknown at this time.

SECTION 1
Introduction
System development charges (SDCs) are an important funding source for parks capital
improvement projects. The City of Woodburn last updated its Parks and Recreation
Comprehensive Plan and SDC methodology in 1999. The City adopted a new Parks and
Recreation Master Plan in 2009, which includes an updated list of planned capital
improvements and priorities. The proposed park SDCs presented in this report are intended
to bring the SDCs into alignment with current cost and planning assumptions contained in the
Master Plan, and to incorporate a reimbursement component for existing park capacity that will
help meet the needs of future development.
Oregon legislation establishes guidelines for the calculation of SDCs. Within these
guidelines, local governments have some latitude in selecting technical approaches and
establishing policies related to the development and administration of SDCs. A discussion
of this legislation follows; the recommended methodology for calculating parks SDCs is
presented in Section 2.
SDC Legislation in Oregon
In the 1989 Oregon state legislative session, a bill was passed that created a uniform
framework for the imposition of SDCs statewide. This legislation (Oregon Revised Statute
\[ORS\] 223.297-223.314), which became effective on July 1, 1991, (with subsequent
amendments), authorizes local governments to assess SDCs for the following types of
capital improvements
:
Drainage and flood control
Water supply, treatment, and distribution
Wastewater collection, transmission, treatment, and disposal
Transportation
Parks and recreation
The legislation provides guidelines on the calculation and modification of SDCs, accounting
requirements to track SDC revenues, and the adoption of administrative review procedures.
SDC Structure
SDCs can be developed as: (1) a reimbursement fee, (2) an improvement fee, or (3) a
combination of the two. The is based on the costs of capital
reimbursement fee
improvements . The legislation requires the
already constructed or under construction
reimbursement fee to be established or modified by an ordinance or resolution setting forth
the methodology used to calculate the charge. This methodology must consider the cost of
existing facilities, prior contributions by existing users, gifts or grants from federal or state
government or private persons, the value of unused capacity available for future system
1
64
users, rate-making principles employed to finance the capital improvements, and other
relevant factors. The objective of the methodology must be that future system users
contribute no more than an equitable share of the capital costs of facilities.
existing
Reimbursement fee revenues are restricted only to capital expenditures for the specific
system which they are assessed, including debt service.
The methodology for establishing or modifying an must be specified in an
improvement fee
ordinance or resolution that demonstrates consideration of the
projected costs of capital
, that are needed to increase capacity in the
improvements identified in an adopted plan and list
system to meet the demands of new development. Revenues generated through improve-
ment fees are dedicated to capacity-increasing capital improvements or the repayment of
debt on such improvements. An increase in capacity is established if an improvement
increases the level of service provided by existing facilities or provides new facilities.
In many systems, growth needs will be met through a combination of existing available
capacity and future capacity-enhancing improvements. Therefore, the law provides for a
(reimbursement plus improvement component). However, when such a fee is
combined fee
developed, the methodology must demonstrate that the charge is not based on providing
the same system capacity.
Credits
The legislation requires that a credit be provided against the improvement fee for the
construction of “qualified public improvements.” Qualified public improvements are
improvements that are required as a condition of development approval, identified in the
system’s capital improvement program, and either (1) not located on or contiguous to the
property being developed, or (2) located in whole or in part, on or contiguous to, property
that is the subject of development approval and required to be built larger or with greater
capacity than is necessary for the particular development project to which the improvement
fee is related.
Update and Review
The methodology for establishing or modifying improvement or reimbursement fees shall
be available for public inspection. The local government must maintain a list of persons who
have made a written request for notification prior to the adoption or amendment of such
fees. The legislation includes provisions regarding notification of hearings and filing for
reviews. “Periodic application of an adopted specific cost index or… modification to any of
the factors related to the rate that are incorporated in the established methodology” are not
considered “modifications” to the SDC. As such, the local government is not required to
adhere to the notification provisions. The criteria for making adjustments to the SDC rate,
which do not constitute a change in the methodology, are further defined as follows:
“Factors related to the rate” are limited to changes to costs in materials, labor, or real
property as applied to projects in the required project list.
The cost index must consider average change in costs in materials, labor, or real
property and must be an index published for purposes other than SDC rate setting.
2
65
The notification requirements for changes to the fees that represent a modification to the
do
methodology are 90-day written notice prior to first public hearing, with the SDC
methodology available for review 60 days prior to public hearing.
Other Provisions
Other provisions of the legislation require:
Preparation of a capital improvement program or comparable plan (prior to the
establishment of a SDC), that includes a list of the improvements that the jurisdiction
intends to fund with improvement fee revenues and the estimated timing, cost, and
eligible portion of each improvement.
Deposit of SDC revenues into dedicated accounts and annual accounting of revenues
and expenditures, including a list of the amount spent on each project funded, in whole
or in part, by SDC revenues.
Creation of an administrative appeals procedure, in accordance with the legislation,
whereby a citizen or other interested party may challenge an expenditure of SDC
revenues.
The provisions of the legislation are invalidated if they are construed to impair the local
government’s bond obligations or the ability of the local government to issue new bonds or
other financing.

SECTION 2
SDC Methodology
Overview
The methodology used to calculate parks SDCs begins with determination of the “cost
basis” (the costs in aggregate associated with meeting the capacity needs of growth). Then,
growth costs are divided by the projected growth units (population and employees) to
determine the system-wide unit costs of capacity. Finally, the SDC schedule is developed
which identifies how the system-wide costs will be assessed to individual development
types.
Population and Employment
Park capacity is measured in terms of people served –resident population and resident and
nonresident employees. Table 1 provides population and employment data derived from
recent City planning documents for use in the SDC analysis.

The increment of existing development since 2000 (subject to prior SDCs)
The concept of equivalent population is used to recognize different utilization levels of
parks by the general population (used to estimate residential development capacity needs)
and employees (used to estimate nonresidential development needs). For purposes of this
analysis, the equivalent population for nonresidential development is equal to 12 percent of
total employees. This analysis reflects the ratio of estimated future park use by residents to
park use by employees (see Appendix Tables A-1 and A-2 for more details).

67
The planning period for the SDC capital improvement plan (CIP) is 2025. However, the
planned community center is assumed to meet service area needs through 2035. As shown
in Table 1, future growth in population and employees through 2025 is estimated to be
11,398 and 4,600, respectively. Growth in equivalent population is estimated to be 11,962
(about 31 percent) of the projected 2025 total, and is used as a basis for determining planned
levels of of service for parks and facilities (discussed further below).
The City has been collecting SDCs since 2000 to pay for park improvements. That recent
growth represents about 21 percent of the existing equivalent population, and represents the
portion of costs that may be funded through existing SDC reserves.
Capacity Analysis
The City – through adoption of the Parks Master Plan --is planning for acquisition and
development of the parks system consistent with the community’s desired level of service
(LOS). In order to equitably fund the CIP, both new development and existing park users
will need to contribute to the improvements at a level that reflects their relative needs, as
determined by the planned LOS. The planned LOS for a particular park or facility is
defined as the quantity of future City-owned park acreage or facilities per 1,000 equivalent
population served.
The following equation shows the calculation of the planned LOS:
ExistingQ
PlannedLOS
PlannedQ
FuturePopulationServed
Where:
Q = quantity (acres of parks, miles of trails, or number of facilities), and
Future Population Served = projected 2025 equivalent population
Table 2 shows the existing and future LOS by park type and trails. The City’s Master Plan
identifies the following park classifications:
Core parks (neighborhood, community, mini, and municipal parks)
Urban/Special Use parks
Natural area
Greenways
The capacity requirements, or number of park acres or trail miles, needed for the existing
population and for the growth population are estimated by multiplying the planned (future)
LOS for each park type (from Table 2) by the equivalent population of each group (from
Table 1). Table 3 shows this capacity analysis for each park type, and for the Mill Creek Trail
land and development.

As shown in Table 3, the City has varying degrees of excess (surplus) capacity in existing
park acreage; however, there is a deficit for the Mill Creak Trail – both in terms of total land
owned and developed -- compared to the planning standard. Additional acreage included
in the CIP is limited to 15 acres of core parks (both land purchase and development). Based
on the planned LOS shown in Table 2, future growth requires almost 25 acres of Core Park
land, of which almost 10 acres is provided through current excess capacity (Reimbursement
column in Table 2), and 15 acreas is provided from new CIP (Project List) investment.
Available capacity in other park types varies from 0.6 acres for Urban/Special Use Parks, to
6.2 acres for Natural Areas.
The Mill Creek Trail is primarily a new facility (the City currently owns a portion of the land
for the trail, and has developed 1 mile of the planned 6 miles). Based on the planned LOS,
future growth requires 1.9 miles of the planned investment in additional land and
development.
A separate capacity analysis (shown in Table 4) was conducted for parks and recreation
facilities. Similar to the park land analysis, the capacity analysis for facilities is based on the
planned LOS. As shown in Table 4, the planned LOS for facilities is shown as the equivalent
population served per facility. In some cases, the additional planned investment will yield
an enhanced LOS – meaning that the number of people served by a single facility is lower
(e.g., basketball, loop walks and shelters). In other cases, new facilities types are being
added (spray features, sport courts, and a boundless playground and community center).
For facilities with enhanced LOS – either existing or new facility types – a portion of the
planned investment is needed to meet the needs of existing development. In other cases,
where the planned LOS declines (meaning each facility will serve a higher equivalent
population than currently), all of the new investment is needed for future development
(such is the case for firels and playgrounds).

Cost Basis
As noted in Section 1, Oregon law provides that SDC may include either or both of the
following:
—the portion of the SDC charged to cover an equitable share of the
Improvement fee
capital improvements needed to meet the service requirements of future development.
—the portion of the SDC charged to recoup the community’s past
Reimbursement fee
investment in parks and facilities related to the capacity needs of future growth.
Improvement Fee
The current Parks CIP (based on the Parks Master Plan) includes almost $26 million in
improvements to existing parks and facilities, and acquisition of additional land for Core
Parks and the Mill Creek Trail. Table 5 provides a listing of park improvements during the
planning period, and an allocation of costs between existing development (recent and prior
to 2000), and future development (growth). As mentioned previously, the CIP is generally a
10-year planning horizon; however, some major facilities (Community Center and existing
Worl Berry Museaum/Theater) are assumed to serve population through 2035; only the
portion serving future development through 2025 is included in the SDC cost basis. The
Total improvement fee cost basis is $11.4 million.
The SDC project list shown in Table 5 identifies the portion of planned capital project costs
that are related to future (post 2015) development, for purposes of calculating the updated
SDCs. As mentioned previously, the City has been collecting SDCs since 2000 to pay for a
portion of the planned parks improvements. Growth since 2000 (shown as “Recent
Growth” in Table 1) represents almost 21 percent of the existing equivalent population, and
represents the portion of costs that may be funded through existing SDC reserves. The
current SDC reserves are approximately $0.2 million, and area assumed to fund short term
priority projects (projects planned for 2016-2019).
Reimbursement Fee
The reimbursement fee cost basis is the sum of the value of the existing system inventory
funded by City revenues that will serve growth. The capacity requirements for existing
development and growth were developed in Tables 2-4 for the City’s parks, trails, and
facilities. Existing acreage and facilities that exceed the capacity requirement of existing
development are available to meet the needs of growth. As Tables 3 and 4 indicate, the
existing system has available (surplus) capacity in acreage for all parks, and many facilities.
Table 6 shows the calculation of the reimbursement fee cost basis. The City’s existing fixed
asset records were used to determine the cost of prior investment in parks and facilities; the
reimbursement allocation percentages from Tables 3 and 4 were then used to determine the
cost of each line item eligible for reimbursement. As shown in Table 6, the reimbursement
fee cost basis totals almost $1.5 million.

Compliance Costs
Local governments are entitled to include in the SDCs, the costs associated with complying
with the SDC statutes. Compliance costs include costs related to developing the SDC
methodology and project list (i.e., a portion of planning costs), and annual budgeting and
reporting. As shown in Table 7, the estimated compliance costs over the 10-year planning
period are approximate $105,000.

SDC Schedule
Unit Costs
To determine the SDC schedule, the system-wide unit costs of capacity are first determined,
as shown in Table 8.The unit cost calculations begin with allocation of the cost basis
between residential and nonresidential development. For SDC development purposes, park
costs are allocated to residential and nonresidential development based on each group’s
share of future equivalent population. As shown in Table 1, total growth in equivalent
population is estimated to be 11,962, including 11,398 new residents (95 percent) and 565
1
nonresidential equivalents (5 percent). Based on these allocations, residential development
is allocated $12.4 million (combined reimbursement and improvement costs), and
nonresidential is allocated $0.6 million of future growth-related park costs from Tables 5-8.
Compliance costs are allocated to each group in proportion to the total capital costs.

Total$1,489,175$105,196$1,594,371
The growth capacity units for both residential and nonresidential developments are people;
in the case of residential it is total population, and in the case of nonresidential the unit of
measure is employment. The growth in population and employment during the 10-year
planning period is estimated to be 11,398 and 4,600, respectively. Dividing the residential
cost by the total growth in population yields improvement and reimbursement unit costs
per person of $952 and $133, respectively. Similarly, the unit costs for nonresidential are
$117 (improvement) and $16 (reimbursement) per employee.
SDC Schedule
SDCs are assessed to different development types based on average dwelling occupancy
and employee density (employees per thousand square feet), as estimated by local or
regional data. Planning data for the City does not show significant difference in occupancy
1
As discussed previously, the nonresidential equivalents are equal to the number of employees multiplied by an equivalency
factor of 12 percent.
14
77
for different types of dwelling unit types; therefore a uniform SDC of $3,365 per dwelling
unit (based on occupancy of 3.1 persons per household) is recommended. This compares to
a current SDC of $1,752 for single family and $1,882 for multifamily.

The updated nonresidential SDC per employees is $133, compared to $31 currently. For
nonresidential development, the SDC is assessed based on estimated employees (generally
based on employment density and building size).
Inflationary Adjustments
In accordance with Oregon statutes, it is recommended that the SDCs be adjusted annually
based on a standard inflationary index. Because parks SDCs include both land acquisition
and facility improvement, the City currently uses a combination of indices to annually
adjust charges:

TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:Jim Row, Assistant City Administrator
SUBJECT:
Resolution Establishing Updated Parks and Recreation SDC Fees
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Counciladopt a resolution establishing Parks and Recreation SDC
Fees pursuant to the recently updated Parks and Recreation System
Development Charges Methodology.
BACKGROUND:
While the Parks and Recreation Master Plan was most recently updated in 2009,
however, the City did not update the SDC methodologyat that time, since it was
believed that the local market could not accommodate increased development
fees in the wake of the economic and housing market recession.
DISCUSSION:
Now that the economy and housing market have recovered and the UGB
expansion has been approved, it is necessary toimplement updated Parks and
Recreation SDC fees, pursuant to the recently updated Parks and Recreation
SystemDevelopment Chargesmethodology.Ordinance 2250 provides for these
SDC charges to be established by resolution.
The updated schedule is as follows:
Old FeeNew Fee
Single Family$1,752/ dwelling unit$3,365/ dwelling unit
Multi-Family $1,882/ dwelling unit$3,365/ dwelling unit
Manufactured Housing$1,160/ dwelling unit$3,365/ dwelling unit
Non-residential $31/ employee$133/ employee
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The increased revenues that are expected to result from the updated SDC fee
schedule are unknown at this time.

Revised Traffic Ordinance Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
After the City Council considers the Revised Ordinance regulating the overnight
parking and storage of recreational vehicles(RVs)on City streets and the parking
of any vehicles in designated and marked fire lanes on both public City streets
and private right-of-ways, the City Council could:
1.Direct staff to undertake a community outreach and information
campaign designed to take public feedback on the proposed revisions
and raise awareness about the issue per the Public Outreach Plan
contained within this Agenda item.
2.Adopt the revised Ordinance as submitted.
3.If there is no consensus on the revised provisions, provide further direction
on how to proceed with the proposed Ordinance as the Council deems
appropriate.
BACKGROUND:
Proposed amendments to the Traffic Ordinance were first brought before the
Council at the August 8, 2016, meeting as part of the Ordinance Review/Revision
Project. Draft modifications were proposed on the basis of two primary issues:
-Fire Lane parking enforcement; and
-RV parking/storage on City streets.

During the August 8meeting, a consensus by the Council was reached on the
th
matter of new enforcement provisions for fire lane parking violations. That portion
of the proposed ordinance amendment remains unchanged.
Most of the Council discussion, however, was centered on RV parkingand
storage. Councilors expressed differing points of view as to how to best address
the issues relatedto this topic. After an extensive Council discussion, it was agreed
that a Revised Ordinance (attached) would be prepared.
DISCUSSION:
In preparing theRevised Ordinance, the comments and concerns expressed by
Council membersat the August 8th meetingwere reviewed and considered.
Additionally, various city ordinances from around the stateand home owner
association rules that address RVs were considered.
Proposed changes to Section 16 and 17 of the ordinance regulating RV parking,
so as to respond to many of the comments and concerns Council raised at the
August 8meeting, have been outlined below:
th
-The concern thatthe 1-day out of 7-day parking
Comment/Concern:
regulationwould beunreasonable and/or overly restrictive to those who
require more than 1-day or evening to pack their RV and/or desire to return
and unload their RV within that 7-day window. Additionally, the concern
overthe 10-day out of 1-year parking regulation would be unreasonable
and/or overly restrictive to those who more regularly use their RV and
require the overnight parking to prepare or unload from trips on a more
frequent basis.
Change toa simple 48-hour restriction that has no
Proposed Revision:
o
limitations on number of days per week or yearthat an RV can be
parked on City Streets. This change would still requiremovement of
the RV off city streets on a more stringenttimeline than the 72-hours
allowed for regular motor vehicles—cutting down on the
consecutive days an RV may be parked,—but it also allows a family
to an unlimited number of trips they could take.
-A desire to really formulatean ordinance that has the
Comment/Concern:
purpose and effect ofgetting at those who are currently abusing the RV
storage ordinance, while not penalizing the individual or family that is trying
to follow the rules.
86
Mayor and City Council
September 12, 2016
Page 3
Adding language that the parking of an RV on
Proposed Revision:
o
City streets for any 48-hour period is for the purpose of loading,
unloading, or otherwise preparing the RV for use and that using the
street for storage is not allowed.
-Having an ordinance that puts an onus on the RV
Comment/Concern:
owner to either beactively using his or her RV for going out on trips or finding
alternative off-street storage for the RV.
Placing emphasis on the definition within Section
Proposed Revision:
o
17 of what constitutes “movement” of the RV that has been
differentiated from the definitionof "movement"for regular motor
vehicles. For RVs, the proposed revision requires that the RV is actually
moved off of the city street, not just the block where it was parked.
-Location restrictions in the proposed ordinancefor
Comment/Concern:
where an RV can park were inconsistent and/or problematic for
homeowners who live on corner lots.
Rephrasing the proposal to include that parked
Proposed Revision:
o
RVs must merely be located adjacent to the home of the owner (or
if it is a guest, the home where they are visiting). Parking can then
occur on either frontage of a corner or through-lot, but still must be
in close proximity to the home.
-That the following part of the ordinance language
Comment/Concern:
should stand alone so as to emphasize its importance: “Failure to move a
\[vehicle within the regulated time\] constitutes prima facie evidence of
violation of the section.”
Change was made to move this language from
Proposed Revision:
o
Section 16 alone, to be added to Section 17 that regulates the
calculation of storage time for both Section 15 and 16. Thislanguage
was then put into its own subsection so as to emphasize its
importance in how the parking restrictions are enforced.
-That the ordinance could or should include restrictions
Comment/Concern:
that deter individuals from sleeping in RVs while they are parked on City
streets.
87
Mayor and City Council
September 12, 2016
Page 4
Adding a restriction that human occupancy of
Proposed Revision:
o
RVs is not permitted while the vehicle is parked on City streets during
any allowable time period.
-That regular motor vehicles still have a safe means to
Comment/Concern:
navigate through city streets and not be obstructedby RVs, which
instigates many of the calls received by code enforcement about this issue.
Adding language that states that regardless of
Proposed Revision:
o
whether somebodymeets all of the other criteria for parking their RV
on the street, their RV must still be parked in a manner thatdoes not
interfere with traffic or create a hazard by obstructing the view of
drivers.
PROPOSED PUBLIC OUTREACH PLAN
At the direction of the City Council, the City will engage in the following public
outreach effort to take public feedback on the proposed traffic ordinance
amendments by highlighting the issueper the following:
1)Staff will draft a series of articles to be pushed to the community via the
City’s Weekly E-Blast including an email address for citizens to submit any
comments they may have regarding the proposed amendments
electronically.
2)The City will take out a paid advertisement in the Woodburn Independent
highlighting the issue of illegal parking and the proposed amendments
being considered bytheCity Council.
3)The City will also send direct notifications to the City’s various home owner
and neighborhood associations informing them of the proposed revisions
and asking for input.
4)The City will schedule a Parking Ordinance Open House at the Woodburn
Police Department’s Community Roomwhere the issue will be presented
and public feedback taken.
Once the City has completed this effort, all feedback and the proposed parking
ordinance amendments will come back to the City Council for final
consideration.

Nodal Standards
In 2005, the City enacted four new zoning
districts, three of which are nodal zones (single
family, multi-family and commercial)
None of these zones have been utilized
Recent discussions highlighted the need to update
and revise the Nodal standards
Row housing is encouraged, yet current standards
discourage their development
Lot standards (width and depth) should be reduced in
recognition of the narrowness of this particular type of
development
Nodal standards recognize conventional development, but the
ordinance precludes that type of development
