Page 2 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 25,2002 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 25, 2002 TAPE READING 0612 CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING: DRAFT WOODBURN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE AND RELATED ZONE CHANGES. Mayor Jennings reminded the audience that testimony on this issue will be limited to 5 minutes. He declared the public hearing continued at 7:13 p.m.. Community Development Director Mulder stated that this issue was initiated by the City Council to revise the text of the zoning ordinance, rename it to the Woodburn Development Ordinance, and change the zoning on certain properties within the City. He provided historical background on this project as part of the staff report. A focus group consisting of Councilor Figley, Planning Commissioner James Cox, and Local Real Estate broker Dave Christoff was established in 1999 to provide policy direction. Regular meetings of the focus group and staff were held from September 1999 through November 2000 and a working draft was completed which has since been refined by staff. In the fall of 200 1, the focus group met to provide final policy direction on the refinements to the draft proposed by staff. In December 2001, the draft was presented to the Council and the Planning Commission. A public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on January 24, 2002 and notices mailed to all property owners in compliance with Measure 56 requirements. The Planning Commission adopted a final order on February 28,2002 containing the Commission's recommendations on the draft ordinance. At the last Council meeting, Mayor Jennings appointed Councilors Figley and Bjelland to review the Planning Commission's recommendations and to provide the Council with their assessment of the draft ordinance. As a result of the assessment, the draft ordinance has been revised to incorporate additional changes recommended by the Councilors and staff. A summary of the revisions is as follows: 1) Commercial General District land uses permitted include uses that were inadvertently not carried over from the current zoning ordinance; 2) Solar access protection has been included as a design review guideline in all commercial and industrial zones except the Downtown Development and Conservation District; 3) Add provision requiring a design review for a change of use resulting in a greater parking requirement which was inadvertently not carried over from the current zoning ordinance; 4) Add provision which would allow Council the ability to compensate or reimburse expenses for Design Review Board members; 5) Revised exemption from the architectural design standards and guidelines for single family dwellings; 6) Revised architectural design standard for dwellings requiring a roof slope ratio from five feet in height for each 12 feet in width to four feet in height for each 12 feet in width; and 7) Revised architectural design standard for dwellings requiring multi-facade or roof line to allow an off-set roof line as an additional method to satisfy this standard. He stated that the Woodburn Zoning Ordinance has been reformatted to include the Page 3 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 25,2002 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 25, 2002 TAPE READING provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Access Management Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, landscaping policies and standards, and some of the recommendations of the Transportation Systems Plan. The Development Ordinance is considered as a Community Development ordinance combining zoning, landscaping, transportation, land division, and annexation requirements in one document with a single set of uniform development standards. It was noted that this ordinance does not affect the Woodburn Sign Ordinance, however, this is the next ordinance to be updated once the Development Ordinance has been adopted. The updated Sign Ordinance, once adopted, will be incorporated into the Development Ordinance. He stated that the draft ordinance was restructured to make the ordinance more modern, internally consistent, clearer, and easier to use. It was revised to be consistent with changes in state law which include state-wide goals, legislation, and case law. Several chapters in the current zoning ordinance have not been incorporated into the draft ordinance since they were deemed either to be not necessary under current circumstances or not consistent with recent case law. For example, the chapter on Adult Entertainment was determined to be not consistent with case law based on a legal opinion by the City Attorney. Some changes were also made to reflect policy choices to achieve a more livable community, and recommended standards that are now more restrictive have been incorporated in ordinance for the purpose of increasing the livability of the subject property, neighboring property, and the community as a whole thereby improving the value and sustainability of development. Only changes supported by goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan are proposed in this draft ordinance and no changes are proposed that would require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The only change proposed that relates to the state-wide goals is the significant wetlands overlay district which is a new district. In general, the standards in the current zoning ordinance are continued into the draft ordinance, however, some changes occurred as a result of consolidating zones and standards. Features of the current zoning ordinance that have never been used and unused zones have been eliminated, and zones that are very similar have been consolidated. He reviewed the list of consolidated zones, and the different provisions for housing types in the multiple housing zone. New features of the draft ordinance include architectural review and a significant wetlands overlay district. A Design Review Board would be established to review site plan applications involving buildings over 1,000 square feet in area and the Planning Commission would be allowed to function as the Design Review Board unless a separate board is appointed by the Council. Additionally, the draft ordinance proposes a reduction in the Planning Commission from 9 members to 7 members. It was noted that the zoning map is being amended concurrent with the adoption of the ordinance so that the map will be consistent with the text amendments. He reviewed the changes to the zoning map that are affected by the proposed ordinance. In regards to street dedication and improvement standards, he stated that the draft ordinance requires all access to be connected to a public street, and private streets are only allowed in a manufactured dwelling parks. He stated that the staff recommends that the Page 4 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 25,2002 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 25, 2002 TAPE READING Council instruct staff to prepare an ordinance to adopt the draft ordinance dated March 25,2002, and the proposed zone changes as shown on the zone change map dated November 28, 200l. Attorney Shields stated that this is a legislative land use hearing and he encouraged the Council to ask questions before the hearing is closed No one in the audience spoke either for or against the proposed ordinance. 1790 Councilor Bjelland stated that his review of the proposed ordinance revealed some issues that may only be of a typographical nature and some substantive issues. One issue involves the clarification of an effective date, specifically relating to the issuance of a building permit then qualified by adoption of the Woodburn Development Ordinance. Director Mulder stated that the staff has already made the change. Another area of concern expressed by Councilor Bjelland related to the standards for multiple housing. He stated that the draft ordinance significantly changes the standards from 29-30 units per acre to 16 units per acre. In his opinion, the City has an obligation to provide affordable housing for City residents and by decreasing the units per acre it will increase the cost of housing. He had contacted some architects earlier that day to obtain information on the average size of an apartment project and the range was from 14 to 29 units with most 2 story units ranging from 20 to 24 units per acre. He reiterated that he has serious reservations on having a maximum of 16 units per acre and the potential impact on providing affordable housing. Mayor Jennings stated that a previous Council, of which 3 current Councilors were a part of, indicated that they did not want anymore heavy density housing. Councilor Figley stated that the apartments tend to have families with several young children rather than single or double occupancy which then requires additional open space to accommodate the needs of the families. The proposed ordinance does address issues such as density, tot lots, and public spaces which is the underlying rationale for all of those areas being covered in the ordinance. Councilor Bjelland stated that the offsetting factor is that it decreases the affordability of the unit and, under state-wide housing goal 10, the City has an obligation to provide housing that is affordable to its citizens. He questioned if staff had checked with other cities to see what their maximum residential density level is in comparison to what is being proposed in the ordinance since he would like that information before making his final decision on the draft ordinance. Mayor Jennings stated that the previous Council made a conscious decision to reduce the density level in an effort to make a more livable community. Councilor Figley stated that the previous Council considered the density level as a policy issue since Woodburn has significant amounts of Section 8 housing; publicly, privately, and non-profit owned subsidized housing; and many high density, low construction quality privately owned units. In her opinion, the abundance of poorer quality and Page 5 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 25,2002 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 25, 2002 TAPE READING affordable housing already in Woodburn is downgrading the community and feels that Woodburn is doing more than their share of providing affordable housing. 2544 Councilor McCallum questioned if the maximum density level is set at 16 units per acre could a developer be allowed to a greater amount of units of acre under the draft ordinance. Director Mulder stated that the 16 units per acre is for apartments while assisted living facilities are allowed 32 units per acre. Staff had a difference of opinion on whether or not the density level is absolute or variable without amending the ordinance once it has been adopted (refer to tape reading 4196 for Attorney comments). 2980 Attorney Shields stated that the needed housing issue and the state-wide goal 10 issue was looked at very carefully and that it is the Council's ultimate determination in terms as to whether or not there is a concern. Councilor Bjelland felt that the density issue relates not only to livability but also sustainability from the City's land since decreasing the density requires more land needs to accommodate Woodburn's future population. By decreasing the units per acre to 16, it will require 45 % more land to build the same number of units. This in turn becomes a crucial element of the periodic review process and an issue with Land Conservation & Development Commission (LCDC). In regards to manufactured dwelling parks, he found inconsistencies whereby in one section (page 2.1-4) it showed a density of 12 units per acre and in another section (page 3.1-70) it showed a density of 6 units per acre. Roger Budke, Planning Consultant, stated that the units per acre should be 12 in both sections. On page 5.1-22, Councilor Bjelland questioned if the wording should be changed to say "...Assures that needed housing is not discouraged through unreasonable cost...". Staff agreed to make the change in the wording to clarify the meaning of the sentence. Councilor Bjelland stated that he also had some other affordability issues such as the architectural requirements relating to roof slopes and materials. To some extent, he felt that this draft ordinance is an attempt to dictate what Woodburn should look like in future years, and, while he would like to see Woodburn looking a certain way, he does have a problem with government mandating that it can be done only one way thereby potentially inhibiting the free market place to operate effectively. He agreed that poor and/or unattractive construction should be avoided and development should be attractive but at a reasonable cost. 3785 Councilor Figley stated that she has an opposite viewpoint from Councilor Bjelland. As a member of the Focus Group, she stated that her concern also relates to having a certain point of view dictated by governmental agencies. She briefly brought up land use changes in the Portland-Metro area that have had both a positive and negative impact on their communities. Within our community, we have experienced a huge influx of growth and a significant transportation issues due to the difference in small town standards, space, or less restrictive standards. The Focus Group agreed that Portland style density is not Page 6 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 25,2002 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 25, 2002 TAPE READING acceptable for much of Woodburn's demographic, and, over the years, there has been lower quality construction and higher density construction projects in Woodburn. They felt that the community has the right to say when there is enough of that type of construction projects and a conscious policy decision was made by the group. 4091 Administrator Brown suggested that the Council take a short break so that staff can discuss the variance issue on the density standard. The Mayor called for a break at 8:05 pm and reconvened at 8: 13 pm. Attorney Shields stated that, as a legal matter under the way it is currently structured, the density issue would be variable provided that a specified use is not being changed. He stated that the applicant would need to be able to address each of the variance criteria and successfully defend the variance(s). Councilor Bjelland questioned what standards would be applicable for that type of vanance. Roger Budke referred to page 5.1-37 & 5.1-38 which lists 5 significant factors that would need to be addressed by the applicant. He stated that the variance process will provide a for a process for an applicant to get an adjustment to address issues relating to housing needs. Mayor Jennings declared the public hearing closed at 8:18 p.m.. 4705 The Mayor questioned if flag lots will be allowed since the language in the proposed ordinance states that all buildings must face a public street. Mr. Budke stated that flag lots will still be permitted under the ordinance, however, any new subdivision will only be able to go 2 lots deep. In the case of an in-fill situation on an acreage parcel, a maximum of 3 lots deep which can serve up to 4 lots with one driveway will be allowed. Staff will make a correction to the proposed ordinance so that the language does include the flag lot exception. Councilor Sifuentez stated that there has been a lot of preparation and attention to detail in drafting this document. In regards to density, she stated that, at the beginning of this process, the Council looked at the needs of Woodburn and livability issues. She felt that the document was well-done and she was in agreement with the provisions of the draft ordinance. Councilor Bjelland stated that his main objection relates to the density standard for multi- family residential units per acre. He felt that there are many positive provisions in the draft but is concerned about one or two minor points that prevent it from being an excellent ordinance that would serve the City. He reiterated that limiting the density to 16 units per acre will impact the financial feasability of a project to take away 40% of a revenue source which will significantly change the monthly rate charged for an apartment. Additionally, Woodburn's Comprehensive Plan allows 25 units per acre and this standard will go against the City's Comprehensive Plan thereby creating a potential serious Page 7 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 25,2002 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 25, 2002 TAPE READING problem for the City in the event someone decides to challenge the standard. Projects being built in other communities with higher density levels are very attractive which would also look good in Woodburn. He felt that the City was breaking new ground with some of the features included in the draft ordinance which add to the attractiveness and livability of projects but shutting out the affordability factor is not something he would agree to. 5470 Mayor Jennings stated that the previous Council wanted to control growth to a manageable level and they wanted residents to have larger apartments rather than smaller units. Additionally, they did not want anymore high density multi-family units and open space was important for livability. He stated that he also has some reservations on certain issues within the proposed document, however, he would like to see it adopted and, after a year, re-visit the document to see if any changes need to be made. Councilor McCallum felt that the proposed ordinance was well-written and he appreciated the citizen input received during the hearings process, flexibility of the document, the due process provisions, and its ability to increase the livability of our community by providing standards and guidelines. His initial concerns involved compensation of Design Review Board members and the choices of trees within developments. These concerns have been addressed to his satisfaction. Councilor Bjelland stated that he had requested that the Design Review Board compensation be included in the ordinance since it would provide flexibility in bringing in outside people who are knowledgeable and experts in design review. 6262 Councilor Figley stated that the goal was to improve what the City already has and, for the most part, this has been accomplished. This document consolidates a majority of pre- development questions that developers need to address before a decision is made to move forward with a project design. Additionally, the document brings the City into compliance with state law and the City has made policy decisions that improve the way in which things have been done in the past. Councilor Nichols expressed his opinion that it is an excellent document that lends to making Woodburn a livable community. He felt that the City needs to slow down the growth of our community and he was very pleased to see the tree choices in the proposed ordinance. Tape 2 FIGLEY/SIFUENTEZ... instruct staff to prepare an ordinance to adopted the draft Woodburn Development Ordinance dated March 25,2002, and the proposed zone changes shown on the zone change map dated November 28, 200l. Councilor Bjelland stated that he agreed with 95% or 98% of what is included in the document but will vote no on the motion because of his concern that had been addressed during the hearing and it is in no way a reflection of the remainder of the draft ordinance. This document provides the City with a significant step forward, however, he feels uncomfortable in voting for the document and considers this as a protest vote. On roll call vote, the motion passed 5-1 with Bjelland voting nay. Page 8 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 25,2002 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 25, 2002 TAPE READING 0130 COUNCIL BILL NO. 2377 - RESOLUTION GIVING CITY COUNTY INSURANCE SERVICES TRUST NOTICE OF POTENTIAL WITHDRAWAL FROM MEMBERSHIP IN THE SELF-INSURANCE POOL.

ZENI AND DIRECTING THAT THE REAL PROPERTY SECURED BY THE TRUST DEED BE RECONVEYED TO THE GRANTORS. Council Bill 2378 was introduced by Councilor Chadwick. The bill was read by title only since there were no objections from the Council. On roll call vote for final passage, the bill passed unanimously. Mayor Jennings declared Council Bill 2378 duly passed. 0246 AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING FAIR SHARE CONTRIBUTION FROM A DEVELOPER (Heritage Park Subdivision). FIGLEY /NICHOLS... authorize Mayor to sign the attached agreement and accept a defined amount of$120,000 towards the improvement ofBoones Ferry and Country Club Roads from the developer of Heritage Park Subdivision. Administrator Brown stated that the developer has voluntarily agreed to making the contribution which will, to some degree, reduce the assessments that residents who live in Heritage Park Subdivision will be asked to pay in respect to both of these projects. The motion passed unanimously. 0350 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTIONS: A) Site Plan Review 02-01 - Request for approval of a 134-unit apartment complex abutting the west boundary of the Montebello Phase 1 subdivision at Harvard and S. Evergreen Blvd. No action was taken by the Council on the Commission's decision. 0368 CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT. Administrator Brown stated that he had received a notice from the Mid- Willamette Valley Area Commission on Transportation (MW ACT) that they will begin holding their public meetings on April 4th to discuss the State-wide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) for 2004-2007. The City has gone on record as identifying the interchange project as the City's highest priority, followed by the widening of Highway 214. In the past, the Council has also discussed a second interchange south of the City as a priority, however, for this STIP process, he recommended that he be allowed to send a letter to the Transportation Page 9 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 25,2002 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 25, 2002 TAPE READING Commission which would identify both the Highway 214 widening project and the 1-5 interchange project. Additionally, he would like to add the following 3 projects for MW ACT and ODOT consideration: 1) asking for a share of funds for the intersection improvement on Highway 214 and Settlemier Avenue/Boones Ferry Road; 2) asking for additional funds in completing the sidewalk safety project along Highway 214 in the proximity of the High School; and 3) seeking an analysis in the placement of a traffic light on Highway 214 near the Salud Medical Clinic in order to provide a safer entrance/exit onto Highway 214. Mayor Jennings expressed his personal opinion that the Administrator's appearance is not necessary provided that the letter is submitted to MW ACT. Councilor Bjelland agreed that submittal of the letter would be sufficient at this time since members ofMW ACT were very much put off by the extensive public input process during the last Oregon Transportation Improvement Act process. With the limited funds available in the upcoming STIP process, the letter will at least put the additional projects in front ofMW ACT for future consideration. It was the consensus of the Council to authorize the Administrator to prepare the letter and, if he so desired, to attend the meeting. 0652 MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS. Councilor Nichols congratulated the Woodburn FF A Chapter in hosting the FF A State Convention at Woodburn High School this last weekend. Councilor Figley thanked the staff for their role in spending numerous hours on the detailed orientated draft development ordinance so that the document is a product which is consistent with Oregon law and with public policies communicated to them which they felt they could achieve. Councilor McCallum stated that he was at the Fire District Board meeting on the night of the Special Election and, before the outcome of the election was announced, he had expressed his appreciation to the Board for their support on the Urban Renewal Plan. He stated that the Fire District is also discussing the possibility of a November bond issue for equipment for which they have a great need. He also thanked the Mayor for the Proclamation on the City wide clean-up month and the Livability Task Force is gearing up for the April 20th clean-up. United Disposal has adjusted their date of accepting yard debris to April 20th and the Woodburn Kiwanis is selling barkdust. He also questioned the status of Qwest paying their franchise fees in the near future. Administrator Brown stated that Qwest is considering an appeal of the court decision. However, he had read some information today that suggested that Qwest might pay those cities who wanted to enter into an agreement with them not to spend the money they Page 10 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 25,2002 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 25, 2002 TAPE READING received until after the appeal was adjudicated. The League of Oregon Cities is recommending that cities not enter into an agreement with Qwest since it is the cities point of view that Qwest lost the case and it is now time for Qwest to pay the fees. Councilor Sifuentez thanked the Livability Task Force for their commitment to beautify our City, and their efforts which they continue to put forward especially on Urban Renewal since they worked very hard for the passage of the plan. She feels confident that Urban Renewal will provide many positive results for our community. She also informed the public that on April 8th, their will be a "Taste of Woodburn" event held at Tukwila Center for Health & Medicine which will consist of multi-national food representing a flavor of Woodburn. Local businesses and restaurants in Woodburn are donating the food and proceeds for this event will be going to the AWARE Food Bank. Guest speaker for this event is Dr. Michael Grady who will be speaking on the status of the Food Bank. Councilor Chadwick stated that she was pleased to see the letter from Senator Peter Courtney for his efforts in trying to get the 1-5 interchange improvements moved forward. Mayor Jennings stated that he was one of the speakers at the FF A opening ceremonies and that he was very impressed with decorations and acoustics in the high school gym. It was his understanding that there were 1,256 FFA students attending this convention and they were the most respectful group of youth that he had ever witnessed when the song "America the Beautiful" was played. The Mayor also thanked Planning Consultant Roger Budke for his work on the draft development ordinance. He also appreciated the comments made by all Councilors on this issue even though there were differences of opinions on specific areas within the draft ordinance. The Mayor also reminded the Council that there is a Budget workshop on April 9, 7:00 pm, City Hall Council Chambers, and the topic of discussion will be Additional Fund Requests. 1298 EXECUTIVE SESSION.
