provide thc required information and has resulted in a delay in getting a final document

report are available in the Library for public review in addition to the Finance Office.

PUBLIC HEARING: LEGISLATIVE AMENDMENT 05-02 - ANNUAL REVIEW
OF THE WOODBURN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
Mayor Figley declared the public hearing open at 7:14 p.m..
Senior Planner Zwerdling presented the staff report outlining proposed revisions to the
Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO) which was adopted in July 2002. Staff had
prepared a list of proposed revisions which had been categorized as (1) minor
amendments that did not require Measure 56 notice, and (2) major amendments that did
require Measure 56 notice. She stated that this hearing will address the minor
amendments to the WDO which were recommended by the WDO Focus Group,
forwarded to the Planning Commission for a public hearing, and ultimately adopted by
the Planning Commission on February 10, 2005.
Councilor McCallum questioned if revision #5 relating to front yard setback would refer
to buildings or ponds as a small structure.
Planner Zwerdling stated that the code language within the setback open space standards
of the code would allow specifically said trellis, arbor, pergola and archway.
Councilor McCallum also questioned if revision #15 would reduce the number of parking
spaces for new development if the width of a parking space for a compact car slot is
reduced.
Planner Zwerdling stated that only 20% of the parking spaces can be designated as
compact parking spaces and the number of spaces in a development has not changed.
This revision will change the WDO to accurately reflect the width of a compact car.
No one in the audience spoke either for or against the proposed revisions.
Mayor Figley declared the public hearing closed at 7:20 p.m..
Councilor Cox stated that, as a member of the Focus Group, not all of these decisions
were easy to make even though they are considered as minor amendments. The Focus
Group felt that all of these revisions were reasonable adjustments to the WDO.
NICHOLS/MCCALLUM... adopt the draft revisions to the WDO based on the findings
as presented and instruct staff to prepare an ordinance to substantiate the Council's
decision. The motion passed unanimously.

an explanatory memo for Council consideration.
City Attorney Shields stated that there has been a major change in State law and staffhas
prepared this document in order to put something in effect prior to March 1, 2004. In
general, he followed the State's model rules except where the City could make minor
modifications such as in the personal service contract area. He stated that the revised
ordinance with the amendments has been given to the City Recorder prior to this meeting
therefore there is no need to adopt the amendments by motion.
On roll call vote for final passage, the bill passed unanimously. Mayor Figley declared

part of thc vacation process.

2288 ANNEXATION POLICY AFTER PASSAGE OF BALLOT MEASURE 37.

Councilor Cox expressed his opinion that the City should require a waiver but feels that
the City of Forest Grove waiver goes too far in that the waiver would also waive any
future claims as it pertains to that property. He agreed that property owners who want to
be annexed should not be able to use the fact that they are now in the City as a basis for
Measure 37 claims.
City Attorney Shields agreed with Councilor's Cox comments and he will bring back a
Resolution to the Council at their next regular meeting.
PLANNING COMMISSION AND/OR ADMINISTRATIVE LAND USE
ACTIONS.
A) Planning Commission's approval of Partition 04-06, Variance 04-26, and
Variance 05-02 (1123 McKinley Street). Allows for the partitions of a lot into 2
parcels, variance approval to the street standards McKinley Street, and a variance
approval to allow parcel #2 (which is a flag lot) to have the front property line oriented
toward the private access strip.
B) Community Development Director's approval of Partition 05-03 (Boones
Crossing PUD). Approves applicant request for modifying the condition of approval by
allowing them to provide an easement for access through phase 1 of Boones Crossing
PUD to parcel 1 created in Partition Application Case 04-07.
Councilor Cox requested clarification on the condition of approval which had been
required at the time the plat was recorded and he questioned what would take the place of
this condition.
Director Mulder stated that the previous condition would allow for the phasing of the
PUD and the condition that was put on it originally stated that before the PUD could be
recorded the streets would need to be dedicated in the first phase. The applicant has
chosen to grant easements for the streets instead of building all of the streets within the
development at this time in order to allow the recording of a partition to create a different
phased area.. The City will ultimately end up with paved public streets once the property
is developed.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT.
1) Sale of Police Facility Bonds -
Last Wednesday, the City did sell the bonds with the low bidder UGS Financial Services
being the bidder of choice and the true interest cost of their bid was 4.067%. All of the
bond bids were within .1% of each other and there were 7 bidders for the bonds. This bid
was about .3% lower than the figure used when the bond issue was being proposed and

taxpayers will see a slight reduction as a result of this sale. The City will not be receiving
a premium since the bond market was strong enough last Wednesday that the underwriter
took a discount on this issue. The City will receive about $6.99 million for our new
facility and the closing date is scheduled for March 9, 2004.

Page 1 of 13
Planning Commission Meeting- February 24, 2005

Commissioner Jenning$ reported for the record he received a letter concerning this item on the agenda,
which he handed over to the City Administrator.
Commissioner Vancil also indicated he had an ex-parte contact with one of the property owners since the
last hearing.
Staff indicated he also received a copy of the letter Commissioner Jennings referred to as well as a few
other letters after the dose of the hearing. He stated he would forward those letters to the City Council
when they have their hearing so that they will be able to review that testimony at that time. Staff
mentioned the Commission received copies in their packets of all the testimony, a copy of the minutes of
that meeting, and a copy of Staff's comments on the testimony that was received. Staff recommended
the zoning in the Downtown areas of Second and Third St. be left the way it is based on the substantial
amount of testimony from the neighbors. He further commented that issue can be revisited when the City
updates its Downtown Plan, which is a Council goal. The anticipation is that they would be able to update
the Downtown Plan by July 2006 and as part of that process it would allow you to look at the issue of
what future land use should be in the Downtown area in context of the Downtown Plan. Staff further
remarked it would also provide a better forum to have a greater public outreach and involvement as far as
having either neighborhood meetings or open houses to allow the affected property owners to come in
and review in detail what is being proposed in the Downtown area and see how they would then fit in and
allow them to comment.
DISCUSSION
Commissioner Vancil referred to the issues of the location of industrial land in regards to I-5, the lack of
land that has that kind of capability and he questioned why wasn't the land North of the outlet center on
Arney Rd. considered?
Greg Winterowd responded the City looked at the information provided by EcoNorthwest, searched
throughout the Urban Growth Boundary for industrial land that met State requirements including some
land on Highway 99 and compared the need with the supply and looked for I-5 sites. He further
commented what is being referred to as too much land is simply a linking of the site requirements
identified in 2001 in the Economic Opportunity Analysis with available parcels immediately outside the
Urban Growth Boundary. Mr. Winterowd emphasized you need at least an adequate supply of suitable
sites to meet the identified needs from the Economic Opportunity Analysis, as required by State Statute
ORS 197.712. Additionally, we want to make sure agricultural land is used exclusively for industrial with
very strong policies to protect it, master planning requirements to make sure it is developed efficiently and
prohibitions on changes to commercial zoning. With those provisions, it would be an agricultural use in
the event we do not need all that land. In closing, Mr. Winterowd reported it was his thought they
followed State law and followed what the City Council determined the direction should be on economic
development three years ago.
Staff commented various property owners North of the Woodburn Company Stores are requesting that
about 125 acres be brought in as industrial land. He further indicated the primary argument against that
is that Staff does not see that as the best use of that property as industrial land and it would actually be
better utilized as commercial property, especially the portions between the tributary of Senecal Creek and
I-5, which would be more of an extension of the commercial type development of the Outlet Mall. The
property between Senecal Creek and the residential area on Woodland would be better suited to
residential type development whether that be single or multi-family. Based on that and based on the fact
that they are only proposing to bring in 12 acres of commercial, they are not showing the need or
justification to bring in any more than that, certainly not anything close to 125 acres. He also addressed
the issue regarding bringing that in as industrial property and indicated that does not meet the land use,
transportation nor the economic goals because the Economic Opportunity Analysis and the strategy
adopted and accepted by the City Council, emphasized the importance of being along the freeway but
also part of that plan is to try and consolidate it in the Southwest area. Additionally, the lower quality soils
to the South support going that direction more than they support going to the North. From a
transportation standpoint, that makes a lot more sense because we have the proposed South arterial that
Page 2 of 13
Planning Commission Meeting - February 24, 2005
lO
would allow traffic to come around and get onto the backside of the interchange. Moreover, with the
precarious funding for the upgraded interchange particularly over the short term, it will be extremely
important to try to get as much traffic to feed around to the Westside of the interchange.
Commissioner Jennin_~s inquired if those property owners have the option to make an application should
they decide that industrial would not work but commercial will as it comes before the City Council? He
indicated he would hate to see those people shut out and if there is a way in which they can accomplish
their mission and we could accomplish ours all at the same time then we are all happy.
Staff responded that is currently an option independent of this process. Any proposal for urban growth
expansion under 50 acres can be done as a Post Acknowledgement Plan Amendment, which means the
City Council and County would approve it and it would only be subject to appeal to the State Land Use
Board of Appeals.
Commissioner Vancil mentioned one of the issues discussed in the Transportation Plan was that we want
to restrict the number of trips around that interchange and the Oregon Department of Transportation
would have a fit because of the commitments that potentially have been made throughout this whole
planning process to not putting more large big box type developments because we cannot handle the
capacity now. He was confused how trips generated on Arney Rd. would be any different than trips
generated on Butteville Rd. Secondly, he stated he was taken by surprise when the written testimony
came in to find out that the owners of the land on the East side of town were interested in developing that
land because that is not something that had been discussed in any of the meetings that he attended
during this process since last October. Upon investigation, Commissioner Vancil discovered that the
family that owns land to the East made the City aware that they were interested in developing that area
nine months ago but the Commission were never told that was even on the table. He urged the
Commission to consider the reduction of some of the land between Crcsby Rd. and the freeway or the
reduction of some of the land that is proposed for Nodal Development and add 100 acres on the other
side of town. Commissioner Vancil pointed out we have the transportation infrastructure to do some
development on that side of town. In closing, he stated he supported not changing the Downtown
neighborhood into a commercial area because that is a neighborhood we should be committed to
preserve.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow indicated it was her understanding the reason why they were not going East
prior to Measure 37, at which time there was no consideration of going in that direction, is the quality of
the farmland that we would have met with if we felt we had any opposition to expanding to Class 2 or
Class 3 soils that are around the freeway. It was her understanding that the farmland to the East has
always been prime farmland and there are some wetlands on that property and things she thought would
have brought in horrendous opposition.
Staff explained part of the reason they did not propose to go out that direction deals with State Statutes
and the pdority for bringing land in. Firstly, that area is predominantly Class 2 soils, which is prime
farmland around Woodburn. Secondly, another factor they had to look at and analyze was the cost of
providing public services. He reported out of the analysis done by the Public Works Department, there
were eight study areas around the UGB that were studied and that was the one area that was shown to
be the most expensive area to service mainly because of the pump station requirement because it slopes
away from the City toward the river. Thirdly, transportation was an important factor why they were not
proposing to expand out that direction because they ara trying to minimize the additional traffic going
down Highway 214 to the interchange. This traffic is the least likely to come around the backside of the
interchange. Although not every larger property owner said they wanted to come in, not one has said
they did not want to come in. He further stated it has only been smaller property owners that have not
wanted to come in. He indicated he was surprised that Commissioner Vancil was surprised that the
property owners on the East side want to come in because there are requests from property owners all
the way around the UGB that said they want to come in.
Greg Winterowd commented he perceived the most important thing to do was to find the best industrial
Page 3 of 13
Planning Commission Meeting - February 24, 2005
land and use that as a basis for doing further planning. In this situation, they knew they needed the
freeway land to make the economy work as directed by the City Council. Additionally, once they
allocated the industrial land and they looked where the South arterial would go, they then had to fill in the
land that was between the South arterial and the existing City limits. Moreover, they had a huge area of
undeveloped land already within the growth boundary that had enormous potential to be planned for
higher density, which is why they went to the Southwest. He further indicated because of that, the need
to increase densities and to create some sort of neighborhood around the commercial. The options
began to run out at that point because they used up all of their land need and if you were to add land in
you would probably have to take it out of someplace. However, that does not mean there are not places
that you could look at taking land out but it is hard along the Southwest corner because if the South
arterial is a difficult thing to achieve, it will be impossible to achieve unless we have development next to it
to help pay for it.
Commissioner Jennin~s commented 100 percent of the people he talked to living on East Lincoln, Serres
Ln., Tomlin, etc. say that if they are not broke, don't fix them. He agreed with Commissioner Bandelow in
that the farmland on the West side is muck.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow.. agreed with Commissioner Vancil as far as the Downtown area. She further
stated although the goal is to try to make everything be equal and not have the Comprehensive Plan in
opposition to the zoning inside the City perhaps we were looking at it the wrong way and need to go in the
other direction and change the Comprehensive Plan rather than the zone in the Downtown area.
Moreover, she strongly agreed with the goals that were set for the Urban Growth Boundary because this
has been a community that has had double-digit unemployment for a long time. She liked the idea that
the large tracks are set aside and the 100 acre site will stay in farmland until it is going to be filled with
one employer that could make a real difference to the City. Additionally, she thought it is a good goal to
have those targeted industries coming in. Commissioner Bandelow further indicated she liked the way
the UGB is set and had no real arguments with it. However, the property by the School District needs to
be brought in either by creating an exception/exemption and show that there is a need or take out some
of the residential that is being brought in and replace it with the School District property. She questioned
how difficult would it be to bring the School District property under a special need case or would it be
something we would be fighting for too long a period because the School District needs to prepare their
plans soon.
~ stated he had a great deal of sympathy for the School District as they have a very tight
budget and need to be fiscally responsible when they purchase land. It appeared to him that they chose
the site on the East side for a reason (student population, crossing Hwy. 99E to get to school, etc.) yet
there wasn't enough information in the record for Staff to tell the Commission it is a sure thing. There was
a plea to the School District to sit down with Staff and do more advanced facilities planning so we have a
better understanding of their rationale for why the school needs to be located there. It was Mr.
Winterowd's recommendation to come up with a Statute of Special Need as a way to go. However, we
should probably be looking at removal of approximately 20 acres of land elsewhere in the absence of the
Statute. He indicated most of the lines on the UGB are pretty straight and most of the buffers from
agricultural land are major roads or streams and he was somewhat reluctant of taking pac-man bites out
of the UGB until the special need option was explored further.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow indicated although that made sense to her, there are time constraints and the
UGB is something we do not want to be dragging our feet on in any case.
~ suggested that she recommend that we include that site and that the first preference of
the Commission would be to work with the School District to find a Iocational justification for including that
site within the Urban Growth Boundary and failing that, to look at another area to be removed. He
indicated the intervening property would also be brought in.
Chairperson Lima requested clarification as to why another piece of land would need to be removed?
Page 4 of 13
Planning Commission Meeting - February 24, 2005

Greg Winterowd explained you have to project land use needs 20 years in advanced under Oregon Law.
The figures for the Housing, Industrial, Parks and School Needs Analysis together come in within 8 acres
of the total what they said they needed and what they currently have. It is his goal to minimize the
likelihood of a remand when we go to Land Conservation Development Commission (LCDC). It would be
an automotic remand If we have more land than we can justify. Therefore, we have to have the supply
side and the needs side matching up.
Commissioner Vanci! asked whether the testimony received from the School District indicating we were
either 37 or 49 acres short is incorrect and the City's math is correct?
~ replied the School District's math is correct. He further stated we looked at their math
and incorporated in to our numbers and because we made a mistake last year in the Buildable Lands
Inventory mapping Sere we thought more of the land by the golf course was unbulidable was actually
developed. In going back to look at the mapping mistake, the additional land that the school needed
almost exactly matched our mistake. Therefore, although there was a misconception by the School
District that we did not listen to them because the numbers looked the same from the work that was done,
we did listen. Mr. Winterowd further commented there could be a case made that we need a school in a
particular location in the growth boundary to serve the needs of that neighborhood. However, he did not
have the information to know whether a good case could be made for that. He indicated he would need
to work with the City Attorney's office, City Planning Staff and the School District to make sure we have a
reasonable case before we put the City at risk for having the plan returned back to us. Nonetheless, the
Commission should ask themselves what land should we take out of the UGB if we cannot make a case.
Vice Chairoerson Bandelow expressed concerns with the freeway overlay zone although it is something
that the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) states we have to have and have to include to
gain their support for our UGB expansion. She stated she is bothered by the idea of ODOT becoming an
operative of our City planning although she is aware that the two have to interconnect because
transportation is a key part of that. Vice Chairperson Bandelow further commented it will effectively
constrain the development of some areas particularly if someone brings in a business that takes up a lot
of trips when you have an oveday zone that spells out certain number of trips for certain numbers of
properties. However, although she was not concerned so much with the area that we currently have, she
was concerned with things that may occur in the future. Nonetheless, she would be in favor with the
discussed exceptions of the school property and the Downtown area.
Commissioner Grioorieff thanked Staff for considering the Downtown area properties. She agreed with
the plan but was concerned about the school property. She questioned whether Staff had any idea of
where the 20 acres would be taken out if they decided to go with that option to accommodate the School
District's property and whether this gets decided tonight?
Staff replied a recommendation would be made tonight and ultimately the Council would provide direction
as to making whatever changes. He further explained it is not as simple as changing the map because all
of the supporting justification documents are based on this proposal. Staff compared the process as a
house of cards in that we are trying to satisfy all the State Statutes and rules in constructing this house of
cards. However, when you start tinkering with different things, you may have to rebuild the house of
cards because it is not just a matter of taking one card out and sliding another one in.
Commissioner Jennin0s suggested not to demand a change be made tonight and to make a
recommendation that it be changed at the Council hearing.
Staff indicated it would take some time and analysis to try to figure out where to subtract land from and
the impact that would have on the Transportation Systems Plan and on all the other supporting
documents.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow commented if we are going to forward recommendations that the Council first
Page 5 of 13
Planning Commission Meeting - February 24, 2005
13
proceed on looking at whether or not we can do this as a Statute of Special Needs for the school and
failing that being probable, at least we should be able to have some probability as to whether or not that
would work, then recommend to the City Council that they then remove some land if that does not seem
plausible. She felt it would seem with what is currently going on in the State Legislature with the
desperate need for money for schools, a case should be able to be made for property that is already
owned by a school. Vice Chairperson Bandelow further remarked the cost would be horrendous for the
School District if they had to purchase property somewhere in the residential areas.
Staff interjected that is Staff's recommendation and they are not opposed to bring that property in.
However, we do not have enough information to create a strong case to justify bringing the property in as
a special exception area, which is why we need to obtain that information from the School District. He
indicated although Staff has met with the School District, it is up to the school to be proactive in pursuing
this.
Greg Winter0wd interjected a lot of school districts have master facilities plans that indicate where they
need schools, why, when and how much. He stated Woodburn is in the metropolitan area in terms of
LCDC and the scrutiny we get from 1,000 Friends of Oregon. The worse thing we could do to the School
District and the City, is to take something that is not going to fly to the State and just have it sent beck.
Mr. Winterowd commented we need to come up with something that resembles a facility plan working
with the district so we can be of help to them rather than throwing them a rope when we have the rope to
break.
Commissioner Vancil asked Mr. Winterowd whether there haven't been specific discussions with the
School District about their needs during the four years he has been working on this and he just went on
formulas?
Greg Winterowd responded the School Distdct was contacted early and often. We kept trying to get more
information from them but they did not have the information. Mr. Winterowd emphasized we are not
simply number crunching and really want to find a way to make this work for the School District. The
district supplied numbers of acres, which is different than a specific Iocational justification for why we
have to be at this edge of the UGB. The numbers are not good enough by itself because we need to
have a school site of x-number of acres.
Commissioner Hutchison commented the need for growth in this community is one he felt is necessary
and he was in favor of the entire process. He was pleased to see that the zoning in the Downtown area
was not going to be changed due to the public outcry and testimony received. Commissioner Hutchison
stated he thought it would be great to address the School District property issue through the special
needs provision. He addressed the transportation overlay and remarked he felt we would exceed
capacity before the year 2020. Moreover, the expectation on the one intersection is unrealistic because
people are going to get tired of going the back road. He also commented the area in the area behind
Smith Addition behind near the Nellie Muir School is zoned for 3,000 sq. ft. row houses in the Nodal area
for affordable housing and it seemed like it would support the industrial site. However, he did not see
other Nodal areas anywhere else and it seemed we would be congesting that area if the industrial does
not come in but the Nodal housing does.
Greg Winterowd clarified you do not want to just have high density housing with no jobs to support it or
else it would be a recipe for not good planning. He further elaborated we are looking at a plan that has a
lot of interconnected parts and advancing it is an act of faith to a certain extent when planning for 20
years because you can not predict the future. Mr. Winterowd stated they have tried to set up the most
likely way to get good access to Butteville Rd. to the West side of the freeway and they believed the
likelihood of that industrial area developing very rapidly because services are there and there have been
a lot of people knocking on the door. He did not believe the industrial part is a pipe dream, although he
does believe it will take a while to get around to the Southeast area on the East side of the freeway. The
City has been working very hard to get Evergreen through to connect to Parr Rd. and when that happens
Page 6 of 13
Planning Commission Meeting - February 24, 2005
it will provide a pretty direct shot from Parr Rd. across the freeway to Butteville to the Westside and he
thought people would begin to use that as an alternative. Mr. Winterowd further explained part of the
Nodal concept is to have a 10-12 acre commercial area some day as the housing comes. The strong
hope in Nodal development is that it would be a neighborhood where you could walk to the store and not
need to get in your car and go to I-5. Additionally, there are some pretty tough design standards for this
development so that it does not turn in to a slum.
Commissioner Hutchison felt Wal-Mart is the dominant shopping area and people are going to go there
irregardless. Therefore, we need to make sure that we can get people thera.
Greq Winterowd indicated we have a Transportation System Plan but it does depend on things working
out and there will be short-term periods when there is an imbalance that will occur. He believed as you
get more jobs and the demand for housing will also increase because people want to have affordable
housing opportunities near those jobs.
Commissioner Hutchi$on thought the funding for the Transportation Plan was a little general and he did
not know why he did not have a specific forecast of the amount of money needed to make that happen.
Greq Winterowd said it is tough when doing a 20-year plan to have that level of specificity. Therefore,
they think they have ODOT funding for the interchange improvements and we know the biggest
contributor to the street system is going to be private developers. They are hopeful to have other sources
that can help soften the blow to the State and to the private developers.
Commissioner Jenning$ interjected he was not a stranger to transportation as he was a charter member
of the Mid-Willamette Valley Commission on Transportation and was also the Chairperson of the task
force that drew up the first transportation plan for the City, which took three years to accomplish. He
stated there is no way in the world that you are going to be accurate in computing costs 20-years from
now and what those dollars are going to really mean. Commissioner Jennings also stated it would have
to be a living document where dollars, ideas and plans change and able to change that TSP to live with it.
Staff also added one of the primary reasons the Urban Growth Boundary was set where they did was to
try and maximize developers paying for the improvements because there would be no way the funding
will be available to pay for that if the City had to somehow come up with the funds to extend the arterials.
Commissioner Hutchison inquired why the property owners by the outlet center could not have submitted
for commercial zoning instead of industrial?
Staff clarified the property owners, separate from this process, could submit an application to the City to
bring it in. However, he is not saying it would be an automatic approval because there are multiple
factors that apply to whether that can come in or not under the post acknowledgement plan amendment
process. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) would be concerned about the
transportation impacts of bringing in more commercial land.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow also added at this point our goal is to get in more industrial and bring in an
industry that would provide higher paying jobs because we have a pretty fair supply of minimum wage
employment.
Staff indicated they thought it should be up to the property owners to carry the water to justify bringing
that land in than to have that jeopardize this process.
Commissioner Jenning$ stated he supports leaving the Downtown zoning the way it is to allow the
Downtown Development Plan take care of it. He reported he watched the hearing from the comfort of his
home and heard all of the testimony that was given. Commissioner Jennings remarked it became very
apparent to him that there are farmers that live in the area that want to be incorporated in to the UGB
change. He also found other people testified who are farmers not affected necessarily by the UGB
Page 7 of 13
Planning Commission Meeting - February 24, 2005
change and they do not want it to happen. He questioned whether outsiders are going to tell us what we
are going to do with our ground and remarked that would be over his dead body. Commissioner Jennings
further mentioned it is the property owner's privilege to sell their ground for development if they are
included in the UGB. However, the land would remain agricultural if they are included in the UGB and
they do not want to sell their property. Additionally, he made reference to open space and clarified the
land is not available to us if the owner of that property chooses not to develop it. He reported he
reviewed the documentation and felt qualified to vote tonight. He supported the plan with the
modifications to remove the rezoning of the Downtown area; otherwise he would not support it. He also
mentioned one of his goals while still in office was to square off the UGB. However, the document has
been in the works for over f'we years and we have to move forward with it and he believed Staff and the
public have done a good job in trying to incorporate what is best for the City of Woodburn.
Chairperson Lima pointed out ali of the oral and written testimony certainly made an impact. He was
pleased the proposed industrial would remain agricultural if it is not used as industrial. He voiced
concerns regarding the transportation overlay and said it needs to be reviewed in great detail as we are
growing in leaps and bounds and we do not make mistakes that could possibly jeopardize the
transportation in Woodburn. He indicated although the plan is not perfect it is a good first step and he
supported it. Additionally, he was in favor of Vice Chairperson Bandelow's possible motion to invite the
School District to work with Staff.
Commissioner Vancil reported he drove out to Fairwood Village and the areas East of Clackamas Town
Center to take a look at the existing Nodal Development. He stated he was not certain in his mind that
Woodburn is ready for Nodal Development during this development cycle; perhaps the 2020 development
cycle is where that needs to be looked at. Additionally, he commented the Montebello residential area is
pretty dense to him and described Nodal development as being about double that density. He indicated
he is not as concerned about it becoming a slum or ghetto as he is about the density and what that
means during the development cycle. Commissioner Vancil mentioned Settlemier Ave. is how you get
from point A to point B in this town and expressed concerns that we decided, as a condition, to
recommend that we preserve the historic homes on Settlemier Ave. when we talk about the transportation
plan and so there were some adjustments to allow that. However, shoving hundreds if not thousands of
people in to that and of town with no guarantees about the transportation issues is a dangerous direction
to go. He also thought one of the reasons why there isn't a major grocery store in Woodburn Crossing is
because it is too much of a hassle to get to that end of town. Balancing the growth so that we are not
putting it all out where we do not have the roads is something that needs to be considered.
Commissioner Vancil posed the question if the owner of that land does not want to develop as Nodal and
we recommend tonight and the Council approves the Nodal zoning, would that mean that the owner of
that property would have to develop that as Nodal development or not develop it?
Greg Winterowd explained the Ordinance states you can go back to 80 percent of the density overall.
The average lot size is between 4,000-5,000 sq. ft. you can go to the standard 5,500-6,000 sq. ft. in some
portions. Therefore, you can have some combination of larger lots and smaller lots and you are not
forced to do it according to a simple plan. Moreover, the hope is that the property owners get together
and create for themselves a master plan about how they would like that area to develop. The master
planning requirement is there so people will think about the impacts on their neighbors when they do the
development; there is some coordination on how that occurs and there is also some phasing so it does
not all occur in a haphazard fashion.
Commissioner Jennings added a report coming out of the Mid-Willamette Valley Commission on
Transportation (MWVC) indicates it could appear that we could be well on the road toward getting the
road improvements done by the year 2008,
Vice Chaircerson Bandelow stated she liked the Nodal development concept but was also not convinced
that Woodburn is ready for it right now. However, she is being asked to make a recommendation on a
plan that is for the next 20 years and she thought by 2025 it will be done.
Planning Commission Meeting - February 24, 2005
Page 8 of 13
16
Staff reminded the Commission that there would be about 200 acres of iow-density residential land where
there would be a continuation of the minimum 6,000 sq. ft. lot type development. He further clarified they
are not proposing all future development be all higher density type single family development. Moreover,
it may be that over the next 5 to 10 years it may be that the area to the North will be the area that will
develop first but it all will depend upon the market.
Chairperson Lima stated there is some potential for disaster if Nodal development is not properly
planned.
Commissioner Vanci! said we do too many variances on the width of roads and now we are talking about
a Transportation System Plan that is a multi-year plan and we have not addressed it. Moreover, the work
needs to be done before we do the Transportation System Plan as part of the Periodic Review because it
is waste of the taxpayer's money to continue to play this variance game with the transportation standards.
vice Chairperson Bandelow clarified the issue is when developing a single or infill lot development
normally you would have to put in the full street improvements even though that street is a half street or it
has sidewalks only on one side. Therefore, the party then has to apply for a variance in order to do it.
She thought perhaps there may be a way to address, other than in this plan, where it is no longer a
requirement to do a variance where you have a street that is not developed on both sides, that the single
party should not have to come before the Planning Commission and apply for a variance. It is very
expensive and extremely time consuming.
Staff stated there is a fundamental policy issue here as far as how to accomplish upgrading roads to the
standards that the City desires, which essentially are reflected in the Transportation System Plan. They
did try to accommodate that to a certain extent in the Downtown area by at least stating that the
standards are more flexible in the historical Downtown area as far as what street standards are. He
further stated it is a case by case basis as to whether the City should require that or not and it has to do
with funding. The City is not likely to have the funds to upgrade streets on its own so we really need to
put it on the back of those people that are developing but it needs to be proportional to the impact that
they are creating. The variance is the process we have available to determine that, which is the
discretionary land use process the City has to make such a determination. Moreover, we have typically
required the boundary street improvement and again, it depends upon the magnitude of the development
as to whether they actually then have to go beyond their property and also do additional improvements.
The Commission has denied development on Ogle St. because of the lack of the street improvements
and a variance was not granted in that situation. Staff reported making the cost of a variance for at least
smaller projects, i.e., minor partition or small design review, more proportional to the scope of their
development will be addressed as part of the budget process in updating the fee schedule.
Commissioner Vancil commented it seemed to him some type of wording should indicate that you have to
do the street improvements in new and unpaved areas because he thought it is not a good idea to just
shove this along during the Periodic Review process.
Staff. remarked they would have done that by now if it were that easy based on their experience of
implementing the code. He said they did not have any standards or requirements for street
improvements before the Council adopted the updated Development Ordinance in 2002 and it was more
or less determined by the Public Works Department according to what their policy had been. The City
was in a very weak position when they were challenged on that and went to court because it wasn't a
standard. It was the policy direction of the City Council at the time that they wanted to put the City in the
strongest position to defend itself for requiring improvements proportional to the impact of the
development.
Commissioner Jenninqs reported the City granted a nonremonstrance back when the apartments were
constructed on Country Club Rd. However, that will not hold up in court because they do not have to do
it but the City allowed that to happen. He agreed in that we should get away from granting all kinds of
variances but they have to be done on a case-to-casa basis. It was further reported by Commissioner
Page 9 of 13
Planning Commission Meeting - February 24, 2005
Jennings that it is possible that the City may have to pick up the tab for all of the improvements in front of
the apartment complex on Country Club Rd. because what was granted by the City will not hold up in
court.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow suggested perhaps reducing the cost for a variance for street improvements
when it applies to a minor partition.
Commissioner Vancil thought it is the responsibility of the Commission to make sure that we do not end
up having volumes of restrictions about developing a piece of property in the City of Woodburn. The
Commission needs to recommend to Council that they slash granting variances on things that they are
time and time again granting.
Deniece Won addressed the variance and street standards issues and the Supreme Courts decision in
Dolan on exactions on development approvals having to be proportional. She commented part of the
court decision is that if the City is going to make an exaction, the burden is upon us to prove the
proportionality and the variance vehicle that is drafted in the WDO was a mechanism to reverse the
burdens and put it upon the applicants. We have a standard that you have to improve the road system
but if you feel that violates your constitutional rights, then you need to tell us why it violates your rights by
means of the variance, which is a way out. Although the variance may be a cost and some time for the
Commission in reviewing that, it can be saving a great deal of cost in litigation. She prefaced the
Transportation System Plan is a 20-year objective for street improvements and there are various ways of
building those improvements to get to that long-term goal such as exactions and development charges for
the new growth, the City could make a contribution or obtain grants or get people to build a part of that.
It was her thought that the issue of the variance isn't an issue related to the transportation plan but an
administrative issue related to the workings of the WDO and the place to address that would be
potentially in the discussions that are about to occur when we get done with this project on larger subjects
for the annual review of the WDO.
Commissioner Vancil inquired if that issue escaped the recent annual review?
Staff replied that issue was not addressed this time around. However, that can certainly be initiated the
next round of updates.
Greg Winterowd interjected the periodic review amendments include WDO amendments but they are to
implement a new plan not to fix lingering problems that exist.
Commissioner Hutchison said there is too much Nodal development in the one central area unless there
is a guarantee that the permits for these developments are going to be released in proportion to the
growth of the job force to support that area.
Greg Winterowd mentioned that the 1,000 Friends of Oregon provided testimony regarding how
supposedly we were squandering land, moving in to farmland and being very wasteful of our valuable
resource. The alternative is to have lower density housing however, if we do that we run in to Marion
County and their Framework Plan, the 1,000 Friends of Oregon and their claim of wastefulness and
LCDC staff who will say we are using too much land for housing and population. He indicated the reason
it is written that way is to focus first on the industrial and also take precautions to make sure that the
higher densities we are proposing are well planned and that they do have access on to arterial and
collector streets through the Transportation System Plan. We would be expanding the UGB further than
we are already if we were to abandon the notion of higher density housing now. It was Mr. Winterowd's
prediction that we would have this plan back in our laps fairly quickly and we would have to start all over
again. Although he was not saying that no concerns exist about higher density, they have done
everything they can through the planning process and design controls to let the market work. There are a
lot of steps along the way to make adjustments to make it work better. However, if you do it now it makes
it tougher to get the whole package through. Additionally, the Planning Commission has the ability
through the master planning process to say although it is understood that the market may not be there yet
Page lO of 1:3
Planning Commission Meeting- February 24, 2003
18
for this, show us where we can make up for that. Therefore, overall we are achieving the density
objective for this but it does not say everybody has to plan for 3,000 sq. ft. lots. The whole intent of this is
to create homeownership opportunities and to de-emphasize apartments in favor of smaller lots that have
design review and front porches. He indicated there would be the same effect on the transportation
system if you spread all those houses out on to farmland, it would just be more spread out. The tough
question is what are we going to do instead and how are we going to get through the process if we don't
do this now.
Commissioner Jennings mentioned the goal of the City Council is that the mean salary in Woodbum
would be between $36,000 to $40,000, which means we are going to create the jobs to support it.
Moreover, the politics of the picture is that this plan will not get through DLCD if you do not include the
high density housing and it would cost the City a lot more in tax dollars.
Chairperson Lima asked if there is a plan to issue permits according to the number of jobs created by the
industrial area?
Greg Winterowd answered you cannot create a quota on housing but you can create conditions required
for annexation and once you are annexed, you have design review. Through the master plan and design
review process Staff tried to give the Planning Commission as much authority as they could under the law
without violation housing goal #10 that gives you the authority to phase development as jobs occur.
Staff commented we are not in a situation where Woodburn controls its complete destiny, not in the State
of Oregon. He said it is not a given that it will be Iow-quality Iow-income type housing as it could be very
nice and expensive housing.
Commissioner Vancil asked Staff if we approve the plan as written, what is to stop a century farm from
developing anyway in a Measure 37 atmosphere?
Staff responded it should not impact or make a difference on what is currently being considered.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow used the Serres property as an example and clarified their claim under
Measure 37 would be with the County because they are not part of the City and are not being hurt by the
City. Therefore, the City is not going to bear that burden of having to pay them off or allow the
development and provide services. However, it would not be a cost that Woodburn will have to bear if
they come in under Measure 37 and develop on their own.
Commissioner Jenninos also added the City does not have to approve the annexation if they were
included and came in if you have good reason to not approve it.
Randy Rohman. Public Works Deoertment explained we are in a gravity system and 92-93 percent of the
sewage ends up over in the Mill Creek lift station by the High School, which gets pumped to the treatment
plant. There is a break in that area where the ground starts to flow towards the Pudding River and that
ground ends up being lower. Therefore, you have no way of getting that sewer to the rest of the City by
way of a gravity system and you have to install lift stations along that area. The cost of lift stations makes
it disproportionally more expensive to put in that sort of development. He indicated the major point is that
you do not have the opportunity to put a gravity system in that area whereas, there is a major lift station in
the area to the West adjacent to Wal-Mart that has about a 39-40 ff. wet well that allows that entire area
to be fed by gravity to that station. The lift stations have a life span as well as a relatively significant
maintenance cost and replacement would be borne by all of the users citywide, not just the development.
It is the most expensive place and naturally that would be the place you would look to last. Mr. Rohman
mentioned there are business decisions made when looking at infrastructure and expansion and you try
to avoid the highest cost areas.
Vice Chairoerson Bandelow made a motion to recommend to the City Council approval of Legislative
Amendment 05-01 of the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan Update with the exceptions that the City

Council work to achieve a Statute of Special Needs for School District property located on the Eastern
boundary and as a backup plan if that proves too difficult to do, that they keep open the option of
removing some residential property in order to bring in the school property; and that the zone change be
removed for the Downtown area from the Development Ordinance.
Commissioner Jenninas questioned if in fact we end up having to take in two pieces of property that are
not listed today, would that trigger another public hearing so the property owners have a right to protest
and would they be noticed?
Staff responded technically they do not have to be noticed because everyone within the study area has
already received notice and you could consider that the onus is on each property owner to follow the
process all the way through and not assume that something might not change. However, although we
are not required to send individual notice, we certain could do so if that were the case.
Commissioner Vancil seconded the motion, which unanimously carried.
ITEMS FOR ACTION
A_~. Final Order for Parl;ition 04-06, Variance 04-26 and Variance 05-02. re~_uest to Dartitlon
~rooe~ty located at 1123 McKinley Street into two parcels, variance reeueat to the street
standards on McKinley Street and variance request tO lot orientation. Greq Allen.
Commissioner Jennin_~s announced he would abstain from voting on this issue and would not partake in
the discussion because he was not present at that meeting and was unable to review the materials.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow moved to approve the Final Order as written. Commissioner Hutchison
seconded the motion. Motion carried.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
Staff expressed gratitude and appreciation to the Commission for all of their hard work during the
Woodburn 2005 Comprehensive Plan Update process.
Commissioner Jenninqs requested Mr. Terry Cole, Oregon Department of Transportation, provide an
update as to where we are on the interchange upgrade.
Terry Cole, Oregon Department of Transportation reported we are moving towards a public hearing on
the environmental assessment document and hope to have that completed next Fall. Funding for design
and some right-of-way purchase is available, however, they do not have funding for construction but are
hopeful in obtaining that. He indicated although it is a $40 million project and as it stands right now $34
million shortfall in what they need to get to make that happen, it is the number one priority with the Mid-
Willamette Valley Commission on Transportation. Mr. Cole further commented he thought they possibly
could have the project ready to go by 2008 but they are really going to have to do a lot hard work to get
the funding by that time. Having said that, he stated they have a lot of interested private parties and
ODOT is certainly interested in finding any way to help get the project moving. They will be looking at
very innovative and creative ways in the coming months to try to put together a coalition of funds.

FROM:
SUBJECT:
Honorable Mayor and City Council through City Administrator
Jim Mulder, Director of Community Development .~
Zone Change 04-04 located at 2325 N. Boones Ferry Road.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve Zone
Change 04-04 subject to the conditions of approval contained in the Planning
Commission's Final Order.
It is recommended that the City Council instruct staff to prepare an ordinance
to substantiate its decision.
BACKGROUND:
At their hearing of January 13, 2005, the Planning Commission considered a
request by Tony Kreitzberg, the applicant, to change the zoning map
designation of the property located at 2325 N. Boones Ferry Road from "Single
Family Residential" (RS) to "Medium Density Residential" (RM).
At its meeting of January 27, 2005, the Planning Commission adopted a final
order recommending that the City Council approve Zone Change 04-04 with a
condition that the zone change on the subject property be restricted to those
uses allowed in the Single Family Residential (RS) District and assisted living
facilities and nursing care facilities.
DISCUSSION:
In regard to this proposal, the City Council has the following options:
(1) Concur with the Planning Commission's Final Order and approve Zone
Change 04-04.
(2) Modify the Planning Commission's Final Order.
(3) Deny Zone Change 04-04.

Deniece Won, Assistant City Attorney
March 4, 2005
Zone Change 04-04
Mr. Hubenthal's letter dated February 21,2005, addressed to Mayor Figley raises issue
about the "legality" of the existing RS zoning and argues the Zone change proceedings
are "moot." The answer to both of these concerns is that Mr. Hubenthal erroneously
assumes that the zoning was RM after the 2000 decision that conditionally changed the
zoning on the Kreitzberg property.
The 2000 condition on the zone change stated:
"... the zone change granted.., shall be conditional contingent upon
completion of the approved development in compliance with the application and
conditions of approval..."
The zone change was contingent on the approved site plan being developed. Because
the condition was not satisfied, the zone designation was not changed from RS to RM.
This misunderstanding is aided by a mis leading statement in the staff report. The staff
report on the proposed zone change states as follows:
On March 27, 2000 the Woodburn City Council adopted an ordinance annexing
3.32 acres of the subject property into the City of Woodburn... changing the
comprehensive plan designation of the entire subject site from Residential Less
Than 12 Units Per Acre to Residential Greater Than 12 Units Per Acre ....
granting a conditional zone change from City of Woodburn ("Single Family
Residential" RS to Multiple Family Residential (RM)... and approving a site
plan review application for 102 assisted living and Alzheimer suites. . The site
plan review approval expired after one year and the zoning on the subject
property reverted back to the RS zone.
The staff report erroneously states that the zoning "reverted back" to RS. The 2000
zone change was contingent upon the proposed assisted living development being
completed. No zone change to RM occurred because the approved site plan was not
developed. Consequently, there was no reversion of the zoning back to RS. The zone
designation never changed from RS.

Dear Mr. Hubenthal:
I am responding to your letter dated February 21, 2005 (copy attached) on behalf of Mayor
Kathy Figley. Because the matter is set for a quasi-judicial hearing on March 14, 2005, it
is improper for Mayor Figley to respond to you outside of the public hearing setting.
However, if you attend the public hearing, you will be afforded the opportunity address the
Mayor and City Council about your concerns. Thank you.
Sincerely,
N. Robert Shields

Exhibit "B"
Febnuuy 2;. 200S
In a phone conversation with Ms Won, which took place on February 17, 2005, I learned the following:
Over the course of' a year or more leading up to November 5, 2005, Ms Won had three meetings with
Attorn~ Gutzler (representi~ -%nwest Management).. The topic of discussion was the legality or illegality
I asked Ms Won, "What was the alterativeT"
1~ Wo~ - Goin~ ~ coun.~
Wlzn I uked, "What are the chances tluu thue hearings are a moot proceedinffr'
Her response was," I'm paid to give advice to the city council, not the public."
If the reversion of Zone Change 99-06 was illegal then it could be argued that it did not occur. I was an
imerested party and I received no notice of the reversion.
If'it did not occur, thru the Zoning remains RM and yet we aro holding a heating to change it to RM.
It is understanda~e if the applicant prefers approval of this proposal to going to court. But, if the applicant
retains the option of pursuing whatever remedy he might have pursued ( should hb request be denied ) then
these hearin~ are a waste of time. Because, the outcome will have produced no practical effect on the
status quo. I believe the legal term for this is mootneas.
Certain city employees may see the placement of this request on a fast track for approval as an expedient
way to correct the "mistake" of not properly executing the reversal of Zone Change 99-06.
Madam Mayor, I respectfully suggest that you order your attorneys to prepare an opinion on this subject
and include it in the record. I believe itWould be both prudent and helpful to all concerned.

Bandelow" I've thought for a long time that this facility was a good match for this property and frankly I

Procedural Error IH
Fact:
1. Site Plan Review 99-14 has expired and is irrelevant in this proceeding.
2. No new site plan proposal is in evidence.
3. W'~x~t a site plan proposal; neither Sunwest Manasement nor it's lead council Wallace Gutzler has any
4. Mr. Gutzler had a right to speak as a proponent and was properly signed in to do so.
5. Mr. Gutzler's standing as a proponent affords him no fight to rebuttal.
6. Mr. G-utzler did speak in rebuttal.
7. The commission was deceived into believing that Mr. Gutzler was one of the applicants, and entitled to
speak and rebut.
Evidence:
Consider the following exchange transcribed from the taped proceeding:
Kreitzberg "I'd like to introduce Wally Gutzler, he works for Sunwest Management. They develop assisted
livin8 facilities.., a very reputable company..."
Chairman "...he's part of the ..... he's the applicant too?"
Kreitzberg" yes.., he's the applicant also...l represent hint"
Contention:
This error harmed my substantial rights in the following way.
My statements were true and had they been reflected upon by the commission could have produced a
different outcome. In rebuttal; Mr. Gutzler launched an attack on my credibility by denying having made
certain statements which I had attributed to him; and requested that the commissioners do whatever was
necessary to satisfy themselves of this. Had the commissioners honored his request I would have been not
only vindicated but my credibility would have been enhanced.

Re: ZONE CHANGE 04-04
Commissioners:
This writing is for the purpose of objecting to procedural errors and not for the purpose of attempting to
introduce new evidence after the close of the hearing. LUBA will not entertain objections on procedural
grounds if the objecting paxty failed to raise the objection~ in time for the city to seek a remedy. Anythin8
labeled as evidence is presented only for the purpose of supporting the objection.
Objection to the overall approach
This hearing is being conducted as though it were a continuation of some past proceeding; even a formality.
An inconvenience we must endure prior to getting to the real "meat of the matter"; site plan review. It is not.
Zone change 04-04 is a new land use decision and must be treated as such. This decision must stand alone
as a prerequisite to site plan review.
WDO 4.101.11 Quasi-Judicial Hearing Process: TypellIand 1V and Appeals ofTypeH, lllandlV.
Procedural Error I
Community Planning Director agrees to recommend approval; prior to receiving the application thereby
rend~.ning the entire staff report irrelevant.
Evidence:
Page 1 of applicants narrative; "Since the dty is familiar with the planned assisted living project and memory
care facility at Boones Ferry Place, Jim Mulder agreed to recommend approval without a full design review
and site plan approval process at this time." No reasonable person would doubt the validity of this
statement. Because, Jun Mulder had ample opportunity to ask the applicant to remove it prior to anyone
else having seen it.
Argument;
This agreement had to have been reached prior to receipt of the application; Because it appeatra in the
application. To honor the agreement the staff report could not do other than support a recommendation for
approval.
I comend that agreeing to recommend approval prior to preparing the staff report is procedural error.
This violates my substantial rights by introducing a bias sufficient to deny a fair hearing.

APPLICATION INFORMATION:
Applicant:
Tony Kreitzberg
P.O. Box 749
Salem, OR 97308-0749
Property Owners: Eugene R. Gascho Trust, Judith A. Gascho Trust, Rodney
Lee Byers Trust and Marcia Kathryn Byers Trust
NATURE OF APPLICATION:
The applicant proposes to change the zoning map designation of the property
located at 2325 N. Boones Ferry Road from "Single Family Residential" (RS) to
"Medium Density Residential" (RM).
RELEVANT FACTS:
The subject property is located south of Country Club Road and west of N.
Boones Ferry Road and is addressed as 2325 N. Boones Ferry Road. It can be
further identified on Marion County Assessor Maps as Township 5 South, Range
1 West, Section 07BA, Tax Lot 900. The subject property (approximately 4.3
acres in size) is zoned Single Family Residential (RS), designated as Residential
Greater Than 12 Units Per Acre on the Woodbum Comprehensive Plan Map and
is the location of dwellings, an accessory structure, two pole bams and existing
trees and shrubs. According to the local wetlands inventory, there are no
wetlands on the subject property. The FEMA flood map shows the subject parcel
to be outside the 500-year floodplain.
The properties surrounding the subject site are zoned RS and designated
Residential Less Than 12 Units Per Acre on the Woodbum Comprehensive Plan.
The properties located to the west of the subject site are the location of a church
and single family dwellings. The properties to the south and east (across N.
Boones Ferry Road) are the location of single family dwellings. The properties
located to the north of the subject property are the location of a Qwest
Communication facility and single family dwellings.
On March 27, 2000 the Woodburn City Council adopted an ordinance annexing
3.32 acres of the subject property into the City of Woodbum (Annexation Case
ZC04-04
Page 2
IV.
File No. 99-02), changing the comprehensive plan designation of the entire
subject site from Residential Less Than 12 Units Per Acre to Residential Greater
Than 12 Units Per Acre (Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment Case File No.
99-02), granting a conditional zone change from City of Woodbum "Single Family
Residential" RS to Multiple Family Residential (RM) (Zone Map Amendment
Case File No. 99-06) and approving a site plan review application for 102
assisted living and Alzheimer suites. The applicant states that "...because of the
construction of a competing assisted living facility known as Country Meadows in
2001, the Applicant decided to delay construction of the approved Boones Ferry
Place development..." The site plan review approval expired after one year and
the zoning on the subject property reverted back to the RS zone. The Applicant's
market research indicates that the Country Meadows facility is now close to full
capacity and by the time a new assisted living facility can be completed, there will
be an even greater demand for new assisted living units for .housing. The
Applicant wishes to proceed with the odginal proposed approved assisted living
facility and memory care facility. In order to proceed according to the original
approval, the Applicant needs the subject property to be zoned back from RS to
RM. The applicant states "...in recognition of the City Councilors' concern that
no apartment complex be constructed on the subject property, the Applicant
recommends that the RM zone change be restricted to allow only permitted RS
uses plus assisted living facilities and memory care facilities..."

FINDINGS:
Woodburn Development Ordinance
Section 5.104.04 Zoning Map Change; Owner Initiated:
Section 5.104.04.C Criteria.
Evidence proving a need for the proposed uae and the
other permitted uses within the proposed zoning
designation.
FINDING: The applicant states the following:
"...The proposed change will allow for the construction of an
assisted living facility and memory care facility which will serve to
provide eldedy housing for an unmet community need in
Woodbum. There are six assisted living facilities within the
Woodburn area, including Silvercreek Assisted Living, Colonial
Gardens Assisted Living, Cascade Park Retirement, Countryside
ZC04-04
Page 3
Living, Country Meadows and Pacific Living Centers (not yet open).
According to demographic information for 2004, there are
approximately 2,410 people within a three mile radius of the
Woodburn area over the age of 75. The current open facilities
provide approximately 96 units for independent living, and 174 units
for assisted living, leaving 2,140 senior residents who may need
assisted living suites. The .proposed project will provide
approximately 102 additional senior living units. Without the
additional units, there will be an inadequate supplY of assisted living
housing in Woodbum, which will restrict the available choices for
residents and result in higher rental rates..."
As the applicant states, and as the population data shows, Woodbum's
eldedy population has increased and continues to increase. As a result,
the demand for elderly housing continues to increase, as does the variety
of housing types for the elderly. The applicant's inventory of existing
assisted living units in the City of Woodbum indicates that the demand for
assisted living exceeds the existing supply of assisted living units in the
City of Woodbum. This project will add to the variety of housing types for
the elderly in Woodbum since it will provide additional assisted living and
^lzheimer suites in the City of Woodbum.
To address previous City Council and Planning Commission concerns
regarding the potential for apartments to be constructed on the property,
the RM zone change should be conditioned to allow only uses allowed in
the RS zone plus assisted living facilities and nursing care facilities. This
condition will allow the applicant to construct an assisted living facility, but
will prohibit multi-family dwelling units. This approval criterion is met.
w
Evidence that the subject property best meets the need
relative to other properties in the existing developable
land inventory already designated with the same zone
considering size, location, configuration, visibility and
other significant attributes of the subject property.
FINDING: The applicant states the following:
"...There are no other four-acre parcels which are available and
suitable for the proposed development within the vicinity of the
proposed site. Most of the large parcels of land zoned for multi-
family residential within the Woodbum city limits have already been
developed. The Applicant has located no other suitable and
available site within the vicinity of the proposed site.
The need for the elderly housing will be best met by the proposed
site for a number of reasons. First, the proposed site is adjacent to
ZC04-04
Page 4
Boones Ferry Road, which is an arterial street served by public
transportation. The Comprehensive Plan states that multi-family
land uses should be sited on arterial streets. Second, the proposed
site is in close proximity to an ambulance service, which will greatly
benefit the residents when they are in need of emergency medical
attention. The location is also convenient to churches, businesses
providing commercial services and public City services. The
Applicant has analyzed the available multi-family residential parcels
and has determined that the proposed site best meets the City's
need for elderly housing.
The size and configuration of the 4.3-acre property and its proximity
to a commercial building and church makes its development for
single-family residential homes unattractive and economically
unsuitable. The Applicant is unable to make a reasonable use of
the land as it is presently zoned..."
The Planning Commission concurs with the applicant's response. The
most recent draft of the City of Woodbum Buildable Lands Inventory dated
July 2004, identifies 10 medium-high density residential buildable lots 1-5
acres in size and 2 medium-high density residential buildable lots 6-10
acres in size inside the proposed Woodbum Urban Growth Boundary.
The subject site is identified in the draft Buildable Lands Inventory as one
of the vacant medium-high density residential lots 1-5 acres in size. Only
two RM zoned lots within the city limits are larger than the subject
property; The first RM zoned lot (7.4 acres) is located on the east side of
Interstate 5, south of Stacy Allison Way. This lot currently does not have
city services (water, sewer, storm and street) available to it and is almost
twice the size of the subject property. The second RM zoned lot is located
south of Judy Street and west of Highway 99E and is 22.3 acres in size
which far exceeds the size of the subject property. There are no RM
zoned lots in the city limits that are of similar size as the subject property.
The subject site has city services available to it, is adjacent to an access
street and minor arterial street which provide for excellent pedestrian and
transit connectivity and is in close proximity to an ambulance service,
which will benefit the residents when they are in need of emergency
medical attention.
The subject property abuts a church to the west, Qwest Communications
Facility to the north and single family residential lots to the south. An
assisted living and memory care facility would be compatible with the
commercial uses that abut the north and west sides of the subject site.
The proposed zone change from RS to RM is consistent with the
Residential Greater Than 12 Units Per Acre Comprehensive Plan Map
designation on the subject property. The applicant recommends that the
RM zone change be restricted on the subject site to allow only permitted
ZC04-04
Page 5
VI.
RS uses plus assisted living facilities and memory care facilities. Single
Family Residential (RS) uses and assisted living facilities and memory
care facilities would be compatible with the single family residential lots
that abut the south and southwest sides of the subject property. An
apartment complex use on the subject site would not be compatible with
the abutting single family residential uses due to traffic and use conflicts.
Therefore, conditioning the zone change to only allow RS zone uses and
assisted living and nursing care facilities is appropriate. This approval
criterion is met.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the findings of fact contained herein, all relevant approval criteria,
relating to approval of Zone Change 04-04 have been met. Therefore, the
Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve Zone Change
04-04.

CONDITION OF APPROVAL
This zone change is conditioned to restrict uses allowed on the subject

NARRATIVE STATEMENT LN SUPPORT
OF ZONE MAP CHANGE APPLICATION
BACKGROUND/REQUEST
NOV 0 5 ZO0¢
WOOl)BURN CI3dMUNITY
~ DBq".
The subject property is approximately 4.3 acres located at the southwest comer of the
intersection of North Boones Ferry Road and Country Club Road with a street address of 2325
North Boones Ferry Road. This subject property is zoned under the Comprehensive Plan as high
density residential (i.e. Residential > 12 Unit~ Per Acre). On March 29, 2000, the City of
Woodbum granted a conditional zone change for the subject property from "Single-Family
Residential" (RS) to "Multi-Family Residential" (RM). The initial zone change was conditioned
to ensure that the zone change, to RM would not allow for multiple family development other
than the proposed assisted living facility and memory care facility project.
Because of the construction of a competing assisted living facility known as Country Meadows
in 2001, the Applicant decided to delay consmmtion of the approved Boones Ferry Place
development. The initial site plan approval expired after one year, and the City of Woodbum
reverted the zoning of the site back to RS. The principal reason for the conditional zoning was to
prevent multiple family housing such as apartments from being built on the subject property.
Thc Applicant's market research indicates that the Country Meadows facility is now close to full
capacity and by the time a new assisted living facility can be completed, there will be an even
greater demand for new assisted living units for housing. The Applicant wishes to proceed with
the original proposed approved assisted living facility and memory care facility. In order to
proceed according to the original approval, the Applicant needs the subject property to be zoned
back from RS to RM. The rezoning of the subject property from RS to RM would be consistent
with the existing Woodburn Comprehensive Plan Map designation for the subject property of
Residential > 12 Units Per Acre.
In recognition of the City Councilors' concern that no apartment complex be constructed on the
subject property, the Applicant recommends that the RM zone change be restricted to allow only
permitted RS uses plus assisted living facilities and memory care facilities. If the RM rezoning
is restricted in this manner, it will not be necessary to have a reversion provision reverting the
zoning back to RS to prevent the construction of apartments.
An extensive si~e plan review process was completed prior to the February 13, 2001 decision
approving the assisted living facility and memory care facility on the subject property. Since the
City is familiar with the planned assisted living project and memory care facility at Boones Ferry
Place, Jim Mulder agreed to recommend approval of the zone change application without another
full design review and site plan approval process at this time. However, before any construction
can occur or permits are issued, the Applicant will have to submit a new design review
application for site plan approval.

2. ZONE MAP CHANGE CRITERIA.
The proposal complies with each of the following criteria:
2.1
There is reasonable evidence proving a need for the proposed use and the other
permitted uses within the proposed zoning designation.
Thc proposed change will allow for the construction of an assisted living facility and memory
care facility which will serve to pwvide elderly housing for an unmet community need in
Woodbum. There are six assisted living facilities within thc Woodbum area, including
Silvercreek Assisted Living, Colonial Gardens Assisted Living, Cascade Park Retirement,
Countryside Living, Country Meadows and Pacific Living Centers (not yet open). According to
demographic information for 2004, there are approximately 2,410 people within a three mile
radius of the Woodbum area over the age of 75. The current open facilities provide
approximately 96 units for independent living, and 174 units for assisted living, leaving 2,140
senior residents ~vho may need assisted living suites. The proposed project will provide
approximately 102 additional senior living units. Without the additional units, there will be an
inadequate supply of assisted living housing in Woodburn, which will restrict the available
choices for residents and result in higher rental rates.
2.2
There is reasonable evidence that the subject property best meets the need
relative to other properties in the existing developable land inventory already
designated with the same zone considering size, location, configuration, visibility
and other significant attributes of the subject property.
There are no other four-acre parcels which are available and suitable for the proposed
development within the vicinity of the proposed site. Most of the large parcels of land zoned for
multi-family residential within the Woodburn city limits have already been developed. The
Applicant has located no other suitable and available site within the vicinity of the proposed site.
The need for the elderly housing will be best met by the proposed site for a number of reasons.
First, the proposed site is adjacent to Boones Ferry Road, which is an arterial street served by
public transportation. The Comprehensive Plan states that multi-family land uses should be sited
on arterial streets. Second, the proposed site is in close proximity to an ambulance service,
which will greatly benefit the residents when they are in need of emergency medical attention.
The location is also convenient to churches, businesses providing commercial services and
public City services. The Applicant has analyzed the available multi-family residential parcels
and has determined that the proposed site best meets the City's need for elderly housing.
The size and configuration of the 4.3-acre property and its proximity to a commercial building
and church makes its development for a single-family residential homes unattractive and
economically unsuitable. The Applicant is unable to make a reasonable use of the land as it is
presently zoned.

To Whom It M~.¥ Concern: January 11, 2005
We am writing this letter in response to the property located at 2325 N. Boones Ferry
Road and the zone change request submitted.
The argument has been made that the subject property is unsuitable for single family
homes. I disagree with that. As a builder and developer in Woodbum, I know that single
family residential zones are at a premium. Woodbum is growing by leaps and bounds
and is in desperate nc. cd of land to develop for single family housing. The subject area
would better senm the community by keeping it single family residential than to change
it to medium density residential. The land on N. Boones Ferry is approximately 4 acres
and would accommodate single family homes without any impact to the value of the
surrounding homes. If anything, it would increase the appeal and value of the area.
So in conclusion, for the betterment of the community it should be left as single family
residential.

Zone Change 04-04
Dear Commissioners,
As those of you who were on the commission five years ago may recall, we live on the
southern boundary of the subject property and have stood in opposition to this
project from it's inception. Our motives are as simple and as selfish as those of the
subject property's owners.
We believed then and still believe that the construction of a two story apartment
building overlooking our back yard; will diminish the quality of our life to the point
that we no longer wish to live there; and at the same time reduce our property value
to the point that we may not be able to leave.
NARATIVE STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION
OF ZONE MAP CHANGE APPLICATION
!. BACKGROUND
Prior to March 29, 2000 the subject property was four properties totaling 4.3 acres.
They consisted of a 1acre parcel in the city and three other parcels outside the city
but within the UBG designated on the Comprehensive Plan Map as Single Family Less
Than 12 Per Acre. These were acquired by the current owners one at a time as they
became available with full knowledge of their zone designation. But, with the
expectation of having them rezoned for apartments. At some point in 1988 they
started the application process but abandoned it when they realized that there was to
much community opposition. This is a fact and was so stated by Attorney Gutzler
during his presentation at the first hearing. Which took place on October 14, 2000.
No one could be expected to recall that. But, I have it on video tape.
Apartments were their first choice and apartments are their second choice. Except,
they are attempting to disguise them as something else. From our perspective the
difference is just to subtle to appreciate, u a rose by any other name" etc... However,
I may have to change that position if the city fails to put a time frame on the
conditional zone change that is proposed.
The applicant states the following:
'... If the RM rezoning is restricted in this manner, it will not be
necessary to have a revision provision reverting the zoning back to RS to prevent the
construction of apartments."
We disagree. Already we have found that it was not possible for the Comprehensive
Plan Map to. revert back. The property consolidation did not revert back. And, the
change from RS less than 12 to RS greater than 12 did not revert back.
Mark my wordsl In two or three more years and with perhaps a few more new faces
on the commission; they will be back asking that the Conditional Use Provision be
removed. Stating that the assisted living center is unfeasible after all and arguing
that the difference between one apartment and another is really pretty subtle after all.
Why would we suspect that?
For one thing; In July of 2001 the State Legislator imposed a two year moratorium on
the licensing of any new Assisted Living Centers. It was supposed to sunset June 30,
2003. But, it was extended by the 2003 legislature until June 30, 2005. I have heard
rumors that it is going to be extended again. But, have not been able to substantiate
them. According to the legislative coordinator at Senior and Disabled Services 'only
the legislators know. There are people lobbying both for and against it.' When it was
extended in 2003, it wasn't until late February. What if it is extended?
The applicant could have been licensed during the moratorium. But, would have had
to meet a much higher standard to prove a 'need' than the city imposed or is
imposing.
2. ZONE MAP CHANGE CRITERIA.
The proposal fails to comply with the criteria
2.1 Evidence proving a need for the proposed use and the other permitted
uses within the proposed zoning designation.
I ask that the city interpret 'need' as a public need sufficient to risk harm to the
surrounding property.
To be licensed today the other facilities would have to have a waiting list. They in fact
have vacancies.
To be licensed today and if the moratorium is extended they will have to commission
a Market research by an independent third party.
2.2 Evidence that the subject property best meets the need relative to Other
properties in the existing developable land inventory ..........
We suggest that the longstanding commitment of the applicant to this particular
property; at the very least renders moot any discussion as to the availability or un
availability of other or more suitable sites.
It has been stated by the applicant the subject property is unsuitable for single family
residential development. In response to that I will read into the record and provide a
copy of a letter from Joy construction.
Thank You

EX-PARTE CONTACTS
Chairperson Lima and Commissioner Vancil both indicated they were familiar with the property.
Staff read the applicable ORS Statement and provided a presentation as reflected in the Staff Report. Staff
recommended approval of the Zone Change application based on the information in the report, the information
provided by the applicant and the applicable review criteria.
Commissioner Vancil commented it is alleged that there is a shortage of single family zoned land in the City
considering the high demand for it and questioned Staff whether that was her perception?
Staff replied the perception of a shortage on single-family land has more to do with availability of land than
an actual shortage of land. He reported there is one property owner that has a large amount of land that could
be developed if that owner would allow it to be, which has created a short-term scarcity of single-family land.
However, there could be enough land for the short term available if that property owner allowed development
on her property. Nonetheless, we still need all categories of land long term. Currently lots are more limited
for smaller builders that just want to buy a few lots to build on.
Commissioner Vancil commented the report talked about this being a particularly good site for the proposed
use because of the lack of other similar sites. He assumed that if the periodic review progresses as expected,
there would be options for this kind of thing available.
Staff stated that would bring on additional opportunities. The timing of that being developed for this kind of
use is more longer term.
TESTIMONY BY THE APPLICANT
Tony Krietzberq, Real Estate Attorney, 1011 Commercial St., P.O. Box 7491 Salem, OR 97308-0749 reported
he was before the Commission four years ago when this initial application was created. He stated an
assisted living facility is a very Iow impact on a residential area, whereas, if zoned RM, you do not want an
alternative RM use to come in like an apartment complex that would have a higher level of traffic and noise.
Mr. Krietzberg further stated during the initial application, the Commission did not want this use for some other
RM purpose and had a reversionary clause where it would revert back to RS if it was not used as RM. It has
reverted back to RS and now there is a mismatch between the underlying zone and the Comprehensive Plan.
He commented they are asking that those be matched up again and they want to protect the Commission's
original goal. Mr. Kfietzberg reported they have no intention of using the property for anything other than for
its original approved use, an assisted living facility and a memory care facility. He explained the devetopmant
was merely delayed because the Country Meadows facility beat them to the finish line in building a large
facility, it was Mr. Krietzberg's understanding that facility has reached capacity and with the demographics
in the area and the need for assisted living facilities, that they are at a point now that they could construct their
facility and it will be financially viable and successful as well as a good addition to the community. He further
mentioned the owner's of the property never received, to his knowledge, an offer for the acquisition of that
property for single family use. It is not that well suited for single family as it is a relatively small parcel so it
would be expensive to develop for single family; It was further reported by Mr. Krietzberg that the particular
shape of the parcel plans itself well for the proposed assisted living facility because it provides access on both
County Club Rd. and onto Boones Ferry Rd. which is required for this type of density development. It is close
to an ambulance service, mass transit and will be very convenient for the elderly to use. He said there are
no other sites of this particular size and nature suited for an assisted living facility.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow inquired whether they will not be doing a design review at this point but is it their
intention to use the same design they used before?
Tony Krietzber.q answered No. He clarified the design criteria has actually gotten stricter in the past four
years. Therefore, they will be going through a public site review process at which time there will be
opportunity for the public to raise any specific site design concerns. He also mentioned there are greater
setbacks than there were in the year 2000 and that the wall restrictions are greater. The project will be
redesigned, if anything, even friendlier to a single family residential neighborhood.
Staff said the standards are higher since the new Development Ordinance was adopted. He noted a block
Planning Commission Meeting - January 13, 2005 Page 2 of 7
wall will be required, whereas it was not required before. Additionally, the setbacks are generally greater as
well as there are higher design standards.
Wally Gutzler, Sun West Mana.qement, P.O, Box 3006, Salem, OR stated he also came before the
Commission four years ago when the initial application was created. He said they do not plan to do anything
different than what was originally approved except as required by the design review changes. The layout
would be the same to the extent that they could make it the same and they will comply with any required
restrictions. Mr. Gutzler explained there were two reasons why the project did not move forward before.
Country Meadows had their plan ready to go a little before they did and they did not feel it was appropriate for
both to be in a race to serve the public. Secondly, Governor Kitzhauber made an announcement to the
Legislature four years ago that he thought that they should cut the reimbursement for Medicaid recipients who
would be residents of assisted living facilities. This scared off all the lenders because they knew that quite
a few of the assisted living facilities in Oregon would qualify for Medicaid residents and if those
reimbursements were cut, there was a possibility it could adversely affect the ability to make payments. Mr.
Gutzler stated it has only been within the last six months that they have been able to obtain construction
financing in Oregon again for this type of facility. He indicated this is a project that will benefit the City in
various areas and requested the Planning Commission approve the project.
Chairperson Lima asked Mr. Gutzler how many other facilities of this type does he have in operation in Oregon
and how many are in construction?
Wally Gutzler replied he currently has 42 facilities of this type in operation, two under construction and
probably about three or more by the end of this year in Oregon. He indicated they have about 125 facilities
nationwide.
TESTIMONY BY PROPONENTS
None
TESTIMONY BY OPPONENTS
Allen Hubenthal, 1223 Henry's Blvd.1Woodburn, OR 97071 provided a written statement to the Commission
and read it into the record for the viewing public. He reported he lives on the southern boundary of the subject
property. Additionally, he indicated it was his belief that the construction of a two-story apartment building
overlooking his back yard will diminish the quality of his life to the point that he would no longer wish to live
there; and at the same time reduce his property value to the point he may not be able to leave. Mr. Hubenthal
also stated prior to March 29, 2000, the subject property was originally four properties totaling 4.3 acres, which
consisted of one parcel already in the City and three parcels outside the City but within the UGB designated
on the Comprehensive Plan Map as Single Family, less than 12 units per acre. These were acquired by the
current owners one at a time as they became available and with full knowledge of their zoning designation but
with the expectation of having them re-zoned for apartments. He further reported in 1998 the application
process was started for apartments but abandoned when they realized that there was to much community
opposition. Mr. Hubenthal stated apartments were the applicants first and second choice except they are
attempting to disguise them as something else. From his perspective, the difference is just too subtle to
appreciate. However, he may have to change that position if the city fails to put a time frame on the
conditional zone change that is proposed. He disagreed with the applicants statement that if the RM re-zoning
is restricted in this matter it would not be necessary to have a revision provision reverting the zoning back to
RS to prevent the construction of apartments. Mr. Hubenthal said it has already been found that it is not
possible for the Comprehensive Plan to revert back; the property consolidation nor the change from RS less
than 12 to RS greater than 12. It was his belief that in two or three more years and with perhaps a few more
new faces on the Planning Commission that the applicant will be back asking that the Conditional Use
provision be removed stating that the assisted living center is feasible after all and arguing that the difference
between one apartment and another is pretty subtle after all. He mentioned that in July 2002, the State
Legislature imposed a two year moratorium on the licensing of any new Assisted Living Centers, which was
extended to June 30, 2005. Mr. Hubenthal remarked Mr. Gutzler will not be able to build the assisted living
center if this is extended again. Although he could apply for a license, he would have to meet a much higher
standard with regards to proving need. He pointed out the proposal fails to comply with the zone map change
criteria. Moreover, the applicant would have had to make a commitment to a much higher percentage of
Medicaid patients than they do during non-moratorium times and to be licensed today other facilities would
Planning Commission Meeting - January 13, 2005
Page 3 of 7
have to have a waiting list. Additionally, if the moratorium is extended, they would have to commission a
market research by an independent third party. In closing, Mr. Hubenthal stated the longstanding commitment
of the applicant to this particular property renders moot. The applicant has a contractual commitment to this
property and they are not interested in anything else. Mr. Hubenthal provided a copy of a letter from Joy
Construction to the Commission and read it into the record. The letter stated the zoning should be left as
single family residential for the betterment of the community.
Commissioner Vancil asked Mr. Hubenthal if he discussed an expectation for the property behind him with
the realtor at the time of his purchase?
Allen Hubenthal replied he did not buy the property without checking the zoning on the property behind it.
Chairperson Lima requested Mr. Hubenthal elaborate on his comment that nobody has asked for construction
of nursing homes in this area.
Allen Hubenthal clarified Sun West Management has been committed to this property even before they were
in on the attempted apartment development prior to the year 2000 when this nursing home came up. He said
there is a big difference between looking for a place to locate an assisted living center and looking to locate
an assisted living center on a property you already own.
APPLICANT REBUTTAL
Waily Gutzler clarified Sun West is not in the business of building apartments nor do they own apartments or
want apartments. Moreover, they are not in the skilled nursing facility business although they accidentally
started in three or four out of ali the facilities they have but those are in connection with assisted living facilities
and are not stand alone skilled nursing facilities. Mr. Gutzler further reported what they have in mind to build
here is an assisted living facility with one building being devoted to memory care and the other part for regular
assisted living and nothing else. He addressed the moratorium issue mentioned by Mr. Hubenthal and
explained that moratorium required that by the 1'~ of July, 2001 if you had an application in with the State
Health Department for an assisted nursing facility and you had access to the land and were able to show that
you would have the ability to acquire the land, you would then be grand fathered during the time of this
moratorium. He indicated they had that application on this site since prior to that time and reiterated this
moratorium does not affect his application in any way. Mr. Gutzler also addressed Mr. Hubenthai's comment
regarding a certificate of need in which they could show a certain need and obtain a license. He explained
certificates of need are for skilled nursing facilities. They are currently going through the certificate of need
process for skilled nursing unit that they are putting into a facility they own in Yamhill County and on a campus
where they have an assisted living, memory care, independent living, cottages and skilled nursing facility
building that they are just getting the license for. He clarified a certificate of need does not, in any way, apply
to the proposed project. Mr. Gutzler further stated they have a number of facilities in very upscale
neighborhoods and fit very well because they build buildings that do not detract from upscale neighborhoods.
As far as the availability of that land for single family development, he imagined it could be adapted to single
family development. However, single family use of that piece of property would have a much greater impact
on the transportation system, school system, noise, etc. than the facility that they are planning because of the
number of automobiles and trips involved far exceeding what they would be putting on the property. Mr.
Gutzler commented he stood by his statements made four years ago and said they have been very consistent
all the way through and changes made were those that were requested by the Commission.
DISCUSSION
Chairperson Lima closed the public hearing and opened for discussion among the Commissioners.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow commented nobody ever likes to do anything that interferes with someone's right
to enjoy their property. She sympathized with the residents that back up to this project and understood their
concerns. However, she stated she is not certain they would be any better off with two-story homes looking
down on their yard because they would be so much closer than what this project will be to their property. Vice
Chairperson Bandelow indicated it was her thought for a long time that this facility was a good match to this
property and frankly she had not heard anything that changed that. She also remarked there are people
actively seeking places to put assisted living facilities in Woodburn at the moment and Woodburn seems to
be quite the ideal location according to a lot of prospects. It was her thought that the Commission previously
made the right decision on this project by the Commission and saw no reasons to change that. In closing,
she said she would be in favor of the proposal.
Planning Commission Meeting - Jant~ary 13, 2005
Page 4 of 7
Commissioner Gri.qorieff understood Mr. Hubenthal's concerns, However, assisted living is a different type
of an apartment in that it is more restrictive and probably quieter. She stated there are a lot of pros and cons
on both sides but she agreed that an assisted living facility is the better way of going for this land.
Commissioner Vancil commented it seemed to him that things have changed a lot since five years ago when
this project was approved as an assisted living. He said the neighborhood has developed as a single family
neighborhood with one apartment complex that is really fairly removed and a water treatment plant. He did
not find any compelling reason why it should be changed from single family. Location to the local ambulance
service is not something that is particularly relevant for the Commission to consider in tonight's decision rather
what we are looking at is land use and whether or not the current land use is proper or whether we should
grant a change of the land use to a different more dense land use that is being proposed. Commissioner
Vancil did not think it is a good use of the land considering the local lack of developable land inventory for
single family and felt the more logical use of the land is to develop it into single family.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow recalled there was a conflict between the two zonings for the same land when
it was brought in and the zoning changed. She stated the City had it zoned one way and the County had it
zoned another. Therefore, the owner would have had the expectation that he was buying all the single family
land at that time. Vice Chairperson Bandelow requested this be clarified.
Commissioner Griqorieff asked Staff if that part of land can actually become a single family subdivision?
Staff replied it would be difficult for him to comment because they have not seen or looked at any proposals
for a single family subdivision on that property, which has not provided them with an opportunity to look at the
feasibility of a subdivision. He indicated the property is not ideal for a subdivision because of the shape of the
property, the fact that most of the frontage is on a minor arterial street and the fact that there is an apartment
complex, treatment facility, chumh and a commercial use in that area and there is no single family on that side
of Country Club Rd. even though in general, it is a residential area. Staff further stated single family can go
in there but it will not be very efficient because there will be access problems because of the shape of the
property; it is on a minor arterial and you will not get six units per acre as you would on a prime piece of land,
which would allow for the maximum residential density. All those factors feed in to the fact that it lends itself
well to this type of use. He clarified Staff is certainly not in support of any type of apartment complex, which
is why they fashioned it to make it a zone that was restricted to the single family zone uses in addition to
assisted living facility only. Moreover, there is no way apartments can be built unless the City Council would
either remove that restriction or change the zoning. However, there are no guarantees in land use and the
applicant could always come back and propose the same zone change anyway even if the Council rejects the
project.
In researching, Staff found that the previous zoning on the property was an Urban Transition Farm zoning,
which is pretty t~pical for land within our Urban Growth Boundary near the city limits. Additionally, our
Comprehensive Plan designating what that property would come in as and at the time the property was
annexed in it would come in as Iow density residential.
Chairperson Lima clarified the Planning Commission's role is to determine if the land use in question is what
is applicable, it is not to determine if an applicant is going to make a profit or not. He referred to the comment
made regarding ambulance time being important or not. Being in the medical field himself, ambulance
response time is important because sometimes timing can be a matter of life and death. Chairperson Lima
further clarified the City Council has the prerogative of approving or disapproving the Planning Commission's
decision. 'There are many other venues that can be followed after that if somebody disagrees with the
decision. He made reference to the letter from Joy Construction and commented that person may have
previous interest in the area because the other houses in the area are selling quickly. In closing, he indicated
he supports the application.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow made a motion to approve Zone Change 04-04 and instructed Staff return with
facts and findings to support that decision. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Gri.qorieff. Motion carried
with Commissioner Vancil voting No.
Conditional Use 04-12, request to establish muffler shop at 514 N. Pacific Hwy., David Fontini,

A__=. Schedule Special Meeting on February 3, 2005 at 7 pm in the City Council Chambers to
conduct Public Hearing on periodic review amendments.
Staff informed the Commission he would expect there will be a lot of people attending this meeting. He
indicated it could be likely that the testimony could go late and suggested the Commission think about how
to handle testimony and how late they want to go.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow moved to schedule a special meeting for February 3, 2005 to conduct public
hearing on Periodic Review Amendments and that a ten minute time limit be installed for those speaking for
neighborhood groups and three minutes for individuals. Commiss oner G ri.qorieff seconded the motion, which
unanimously carried.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
A._:. Pre_~entation by Public Works Department regarding Boones Ferry Road/Hi.qhway 214
Improvements.
Randy Rohman, City of Woodburn Public Works Department read from the City Council Meeting minutes of
December 13, 2004 in which Councilor Cox stated that for approximately two months the Council was assured
by Staff that the reason for the delay in the traffic signal movement was that it was ODOT's fault since they
had to approve the City's application. The City now has the permit and is now moving ahead with the
temporary signal. However, he felt there was a miscommunication to the Council as to the status of the
permit. He had received some information from Planning Commission members that the hold up was on the
part of the City and not ODOT. He requested that the Council receive a full report at the earliest possible date.
Mr. Rohman clarified the only comment on the Boones Ferry signal that was made to the Planning
Commission was made by him at the November 18, 2004 Planning Commission meeting. He read his
comments from that meeting. He stated his use of the word "miecommunication" probably was a little
incorrect. It was probably more of something as a coordination issue between ODOT, the City's traffic
consultant and the City. Mr. Rohman provided the Commission with copies of the report that was prepared
for Council. He reviewed the report, which provided the sequence of events of what transpired with the permit
process getting that signal completed. He indicated lane configurations needed to be finalized prior to
obtaining a permit for the signal. In order to move things along, in June 2004, the traffic consultant submitted
plans to ODOT that basically used ODOT's desired lane configuration with the through left and the single right.
He said this was done to stay somewhat within the construction schedule of the Boones Ferry improvements
and did not want to delay it any further because we wanted that work done while school was done. He said
this was not the preferred Staff alternative because they felt it did not best meet the needs of the City.
ODOT's position had been consistent that they did not want to change the traffic pattern. Mr. Rohman
reported the City worked with ODOT's Traffic Engineering Division, Region 2 Engineering Staff and Permitting
Staff with District 3. He further explained they continued to work with ODOT on the separated lane issue
even though the City had applied for the permit with this configuration. They received ODOT's comments
back, which required changes and were incorporated and plans resubmitted in July. On July 12th the City
Council awarded the contract for the temporary signal and the contractor was ready to start soon but we still
had not obtained the permit. On August 9th, ODOT's Traffic Division indicated there were more changes that
had been sent out to District 3 for the permit application. However, that was lost in the inter-departmental mail
but was eventually located and taken down. The City consultant obtained the redlined plans with requested
changes on August 19th and the plans were modified and resubmitted on August 20~'. There were additional
changes required and were again received back to the City on August 30~. Mr. Rohman further reported they
had another meeting with ODOT representatives from Region 2 and Traffic Engineering Division between
August 20~ and August 30r~ and during that meeting they wanted to discuss what they felt would be the
preferred interim alignment. In that meeting, they agreed to the City's position that eventually there would be
a three-lane section to the southbound. However, there were some conditions, which he pointed out on a
drawing that illustrated what the lane configuration would be in a time period between the existing signal was
in place and the temporary signal was installed. Once the temporary signal was installed and operational,
ODOT agreed that the final lane configuration would be as you see it out there now with a right-turn a
throughway and a left turn. Mr. Rohman indicated at this point all the plan approvals had been for the first
attachment. They had to go back to get plan approval for the interim signal configuration (Attachment B) and
for the final configuration before the Commission. The permit issued on August 31't did not include the
modified signal and the traffic consultant modified the signal plans again. They were resubmitted to ODOT
Planning Commission Meeting - January 13, 2005 Page 6 of 7
on September 4t~ and was approved with minor changes on October 20~; approved plans with some minor
changes were received by the City's consultant on October 25th; changes were incorporated into the plans
and sent to ODOT District 3 for the permit and to the contractor. On November 8th District 3 staff were notified
by the Traffic Engineering Division that the plans were okay as submitted and that the permit could be issued.
The City was notified at the same time. Mr. Rohman indicated they had not done a permit application up to
that point and completed the application and submitted on November 16th, approved on November 18~ and
work began on November 29~. The final testing on the signal was done on January 6th, the poles removed
and the current stripping configuration was installed. He reported the end configuration of the signal after the
construction will be done next summer. He commented there is a new right turn lane westbound on Highway
214. Some of ODOT's initial concerns with not allowing that was that it did not support it at the time, they had
concerns about additional delays caused by the additional time required for pedestrian movement across the
widened roadway. They will be doing some work on Highway 214 to allow this to happen. There were
several meetings with ODOT where they discussed options for including the right-turn lane. Although ODOT
engineers did have concerns, eventually the City convinced them that in a very short time we would see traffic
that would warrant that right-turn lane being installed. He felt the effort did result in a solution that is in the
best interest of the C'ity. In dosing, Mr. Rohman. apologized to the Commission. for any misconceptions~ .he
gave because he was probably a little too brief when he answered the question back on November 18 , which
led to some misconceptions. He stated Councilor Cox's main feeling in his discussions with Planning
Commission members was that Public Works staff had been less than honest in its presentations to Council
on this plan. Mr. Rohman indicated he wanted to come back and make obviously clear what had happened
during the process of getting the signal permit finally approved and go over in some details the reason for the
delays.
Vice Chairperson Bandelow was very pleased and praised Mr. Rohman for getting that through.
Chairperson Lima inquired whether the right lane will encroach into the church?
~ explained the additional widening will happen on the South side and there will not be a
significant change in the way the curbs are on the North side and there will not be any encroachment on the
church. They will take a little bit of property and some excess right-of-way on the South side which gets rid
of the island, which is one of the safety concerns. There will be a median that will block movements from
Church St. and a median along the access to the school on Highway 214 to restrict some movements there.
Commissioner Vancil commented the removal of the Westbound right-turn lane from an engineering
standpoint perhaps made sense but obviously operationally it did not. He thanked Mr. Rohman for hearing
and for fighting for that.

The applicant is Tony Kreitzberg and the property owners are Eugene R. Gascho Trust, Judith A. Gascho
Trust, Rodney Lee Byers Trust and Marcia Kathryn Byers Trust.
The law requires the City to list all substantive criteria relevant to each hearing. The applicable
substantive criteria is listed in the notice of public hearing and is as follows:
WOODBURN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE

The full text of all listed criteria is printed in the staff report which has been distributed prior to this headng
and is also available now for inspection by any interested persons.
2. All testimony and evidence must be directed toward these criteria or other criteria in the plan or
land use regulation which the person testifying believes apply to the decision. Please relate your
testimony to the listed criteria.
3. The failure to raise an issue accompanied by statements or evidence sufficient to afford the City
Council and the parties, an opportunity to respond to the issue, precludes appeal to the Land Use Board
of Appeals based on that issue.
4. The failure of the applicant to raise constitutional or other issues relating to proposed conditions of
approval with sufficient specificity to allow this Council to respond to the issue precludes an action for
damages in circuit court.
5. Any participant may request, before the conclusion of the initial evidentiary hearing, an opportunity
to present additional evidence or testimony. The City Council shall grant the request by either:
(a) continuing the public hearing to a specific date and time at least seven days from the
date of the initial evidentiary hearing, or
(b) leaving the record open for at least seven days for additional written evidence or
testimony.
If the hearing is continued and new written evidence is submitted at the continued hearing, any person
may request, prior to the conclusion of the continued hearing, that the record be left open for at least
seven days to submit additional written evidence or testimony to respond to the new written evidence. If
the record is left open rather than continuing the hearing, any participant may file a written request to
reopen the record to respond to new evidence submitted while the record was left open and the City
Page 1 - Opening Statement for Land Use Hearings
Council shall grant that request. The applicant is allowed at least seven days after the record is closed to
all other parties, to submit final written arguments, but not new evidence, in support of the application.
6. If additional documents or evidence are provided by any party, the City Council may allow any party
to the hearing a continuance of the hearing, or leave the record open, to allow the party a reasonable
opportunity to respond.
7. Everyone addressing the City Council is requested to come forward, use the microphone, and
begin by giving your full name and address. We wish to hear from everyone who is interested in the
proposal. (For those of you who wish to testify, please be sure to fill out the "Hearing Testimony Sign-Up

LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS
AMENDMENT OF THE WOODBURN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
BACKGROUND:
The WDO was adopted by the City Council in July 2002. Section 1.101.08 of the
WDO states that the Community Development Director shall report potential
modifications of the WDO (due to new state and/or federal laws and rules, case
law precedents, scrivener errors, and interpretations) to the City Council at the
first meeting in the month of November so that the City Council may consider
initiating appropriate measures to modify the WDO. A list of issues was provided
to the City Council at their November 10, 2003 meeting. The City Council
adopted Resolution No. 1745 on December 8, 2003 initiating the annual review
of the Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO). The proposed revisions have
been sorted into two categories. The proposed revisions in the first category ore
minor amendments to the WDO, which do not require Measure 56 notice. The
proposed revisions in the second category are major amendments to the WDO
that require Measure 56 notice. The proposed revisions in the first category are
the subject of this decision.
On September 27, 2004, the Mayor appointed a focus group to review city
staff's draft revisions to the WDO. The focus group consisted of three members
representing various interests composed as follows:
1. Jim Cox, City Council Member
2. Richard Knoles, Planning Commission Member
3. Dave Christoft, Business Community Representative
The focus group began its review of the draft revisions of the WDO (first
category) on October 29, 2004 and completed its review on December 10,
2004. The focus group by consensus made numerous revisions to city staff's
draft.
On January 27, 2005, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider
public testimony regarding the proposed revisions to the Woodburn
Development Ordinance. On February 10, 2005 the Planning Commission
adopted a final order recommending the City Council approve the Final Focus
Group Draft.
A notice of public hearing to be held before the City Council on February 28,
2005 was published in the Woodburn Independent in compliance with City
ordinances.
WDO Update Legislative Findings
59
The final draft revisions of the WDO were made available for public review at
City Hall. This proposal was processed as a Type V legislative application that
requires the Planning Commission to make a recommendation on the proposed
WDO revisions to the City Council. The City Council is the final decision maker.
FINDINGS,,:
The Woodburn Development Ordinance was adopted by the City Council
effective in July 2002. The WDO was an entirely new code from the previous City
codes. It was expected that after the ordinance was implemented, minor
revisions would need to be made in regard to policy changes, clarifications, and
grammatical and typographical errors. Thus, a process was included in Section
1.101.08 of the WDO for an annual review of the WDO. The proposed revisions
to the WDO were generated as pad of the annual review of the WDO process.
Substantive revisions to the WDO are summarized as follows:
1. Add a process for the revocation or modification of a permit.
2. Allow non-conforming single family dwellings in all zones to be rebuilt if
destroyed to allow for homeowners to refinance their homes.
o
Amend the code so that a change or expansion of an existing use
triggers the wall and refuse facilities requirements in the code.
Amend lot coverage in the Retirement Community Single Family
Residential (RIS) Zone to allow a maximum of 40% for lots containing a
primary building with an average height of 14 feet or less, and a
maximum of 35% for lots with a primaw building with an average height
of more than 14 feet. This proposed revision to the WDO will allow the
RIS Zone to have the same lot coverage standard as the Single Family
Residential (RS) Zone.
5. Allow for exceptions to the front yard setback for small structures (i.e. -
trellis, arbor, pergola and archway).
6. Update Manufactured Dwelling Park standards to make them
consistent with state law.
o
Revise the Medium Density Residential (RM) Zone so that the single
family dwelling setback standards in the RS zone apply to single family
dwellings in the RM zone.
WDO Update Legislative Findings

8. Move the provision in the commercial zones that the maximum yard
abutting a street shall be 150 feet to the architectural guidelines section
of the WDO where this provision would be a "should." The above
stated revision would allow staff more flexibility in applying the 150 foot
maximum yard setback based on the size and shape of a commercial
lot and the existing buildings on a commercial site.
Allow the initial required height of a fence on the side lot line abutting a
street to be increased from 3 1/2 feet to 4 feet at the side propedy line
adjacent to the street to allow for more privacy and security.
10.Remove the requirement that property line adjustments be subject to
the access permit requirement and link the access section to the street
section of the WDO. Two decisions (Court of Appeals and LUBAJ were
made where it was found that the nexus did not exist between a street
improvement and a property line adjustment. Also, there is currently
not a link in the access section to the street section of the WDO.
11.
Reduce the required by-pass lane width for a drive-through from 12
feet to 8 feet. A 24 foot wide drive-through and by-pass lane is wider
than necessary. It is difficult for an applicant to meet the 24 foot wide
drive-through and by-pass lane requirement on a commercial infill site.
12.
Require at least 2 public street accesses for residential subdivisions with
25 or more lots. The WDO is unclear in regard to the City's ability to
condition 2 public street accesses. Several subdivision applications
have been processed where the City determined that 2 public street
accesses were necessary.
13.
Require the paving of a driveway and parking for a detached garage.
The paving of a driveway and parking for an attached garage is
required in Section 3.104.05.B and C of the WDO. Requiring the paving
of a driveway and parking for a detached garage is consistent with the
above stated standard in the WDO.
14.
Provide a 12 foot minimum and 20 foot maximum one-way commercial
and industrial driveway width standard. A one-way commercial and
industrial driveway width standard was not included in the WDO. Many
commercial and industrial developments have wanted to provide a
one-way driveway and had no standard in the code to follow.
15. Change the compact parking stall width from 9 feet to 7.5 feet to
match the 7.5 foot curb length for a 90 degree aisle. The compact
WDO Update Legislative Findings 3
61
parking stall width needs to be changed to accurately reflect a
compact parking stall width.
16. Remove the non-habitable spaces in single family dwellings from the
window calculation requirement. It is very difficult for the window
calculation requirement to be met when non-habitable spaces (i.e -
garage and attic) in single family dwellings are counted in the window
calculation requirement.
17.Revise Section 4.102 of the WDO concerning appeals to make it
consistent with state law.
18. Remove the code language that expansions adding less than 10%
gross floor area trigger an administrative Type II design review request.
Structures have to be less than 1,000 square feet to trigger an
administrative Type II design review request.
19.Revise code to allow parking in a required setback adjacent to a wall..
Landscaping is already required in the front yard setback of the RM,
CO, CG, IP, IL and P/SP zones to help screen cars on the front of sites
that are parked perpendicular to a wall. Section 3.106.03.A.2.b.2
requires that all parking areas abutting a street shall provide a 42 inch
radical visual screen from the abutting street grade. Acceptable
design techniques to provide the screening include plant materials;
harms; free standing, architectural walls with an anti-graffiti finish; and
depressed grade for the parking area. All screening shall comply with
the vision standards of Section 3.103.10 of the WDO.
20.Revise use of "cedify" related to review of Planned Unit Development
Final Plan Approval. Need to change "cedify" to "review and

process.
The proposed revisions to the WDO are consistent with the goals and
policies in the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan and no changes are
proposed that require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
because the proposed revisions are relatively minor.

Special Transportation Fund Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the attached resolution entering into the STF108 Marion County Rural
Agreement with Salem Area Transit District to receive $20,555.00 in Special
Transportation Fund grant funding for elderly and disabled transportation.
BACKGROUND:
The Special Transportation Fund (STF) is derived from a portion of the State of Oregon
cigarette tax and dedicated for use in providing transportation for the elderly and
disabled. The city's Dial-A-Ride program has been awarded varying amounts of these
elderly and disabled transportation grant funds on an annual basis since 1988.
The state allocates these funds by formula based on population to each county. In
Marion County, in accordance with state statute, the special transportation funds are
administered and disbursed by the Salem Area Transit District.
DISCUSSION:
The city submitted an application to Salem Transit for the STF elderly and disabled
transportation funding. Through the grant process the City was awarded $20,555.00 for
its Dial-A-Ride Program to provide transportation for elderly and disabled residents of
the community.
Staff recommends that the resolution be approved authorizing the City Administrator to
sign the agreement on behalf of the city.
FINANCIALIMPACT:
The approved 2004-2005 Transit Fund revenue budget included
elderly and disabled Special Transportation Fund.

RECOMMENDATION:
Pass the resolution.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:

of pdor staff report attached). The Council unanimously agreed to implement
this policy and requested that l draft the attached resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Passage of the proposed resolution could save the City the cost of defending
against future Measure 37 claims.

A RESOLUTION REQUIRING WAIVER OF MEASURE 37 CLAIMS FOR PROPERTY OWNERS
ANNEXING PROPERTY INTO THE CITY OF WOODBURN.
WHEREAS, the Oregon voters passed Measure 37 at the November 2004 election;
and
WHEREAS, Measure 37 permits a property owner who owned property prior to
enactment of a land use regulation restricting its use to make a claim against the
governing body enforcing a land use regulation for the reduction in the value of the
property; and
WHEREAS, when properties are annexed into the City of Woodburn from the
Urban Growth Area, new land use regulations will apply which may restrict uses and
result in Measure 37 claims; and
WHEREAS, whenever a property owner requests annexation, the City has
determined that the property owner is choosing to be bound by the land use
regulations then in effect within the City; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY OF WOODBURN RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City will not consider any request for annexation into the City limits
unless all persons or entities with an ownership interest in the property submit a written
waiver of any Measure 37 claim that may accrue for uses that could have been made
of the property prior to its annexation into the City of Woodbum.

FROM:
N. Robert Shields, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Annexation Policy After Passage of Ballot Measure 37
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the report and provide policy direction on whether the City wants to
require the waiver of future Measure 37 claims when property is annexed.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In the November 2004 election, the Oregon voters passed Measure 37. On
November 29, 2004, the City Council passed Ordinance 2544, establishing a
process for the evaluation of claims.
Since the passage of the measure, I have been trying to stay informed about
the processing of claims on a statewide basis. So far, counties have
experienced many more claims than cities. Washington County appears to be
the leader with over 65 claims filed. Approximately 20 claims have been filed
against Marion County. The City of Woodburn, as you are aware, currently has
only one filed claim.
Several counties have already processed and granted land use waivers under
the measure. I know of no city that has granted waivers, as of this date. The
general consensus of government attorneys is that there may be some
additional potential claimants waiting to file their claims. Some lawyers are
apparently advising claimants to wait until the 2005 Oregon legislature meets
and the "dust settles" before filing claims.
In anticipating future claims, one step cities can take is to require a legal waiver
by property owners of any Measure 37 claims whenever property is annexed.
The rationale behind this policy is that if a property owner is requesting
annexation, it is unfair for the property owner to receive what it is requesting and
then later make a claim against the city.

This is a policy matter that should be considered by the City Council. For your
reference, I have attached a resolution addressing this subject passed by the
City of Ashland and a "Covenant of Waiver of Rights and Remedies" that is
currently in use by the City of Forest Grove
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
If the City Council decides to require waiver of Measure 37 claims when a
property is annexed, this practice could save the City the costs of defending
against future Measure 37 claims.

Rate Adjustment for United Disposal Service, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing
an eight (8} percent rate increase for United Disposal Service, Inc., effective
April 1,2005.
BACKGROUND:
Ordinance No. 1641, as amended by Ordinances 1945, 2008, and 2072,
regulates the solid waste franchise with United Disposal. Section 13 addresses
rates, and provides changes in rates shall be approved by City Council
resolution. In defermining the appropriate rate to be charged, the Council shall
consider:
1 ) The cost of performing the service provided by the Franchisee;
2) The anticipated increases in the cost of providing service;
3) The need for equipment replacement and the need for additional
equipment to meet service needs; compliance with federal, state and
local law, ordinances and regulations; or technological change;
4) The investment of the franchisee and the value of its business and the
necessity that the franchise has a reasonable rate of return;
5) The rates in other cities for similar service; and
6) The public interest by assuring reasonable rates to enable the franchisee
to provide efficient and beneficial service to' the residents and other
users of the service.
United Disposal's most recent rate adjustment was approved in 2002, based on
increases in Marion County's tipping fees related to the yard waste program.
According to City records, the Council in December 1997, effective January
1998, approved United's previous rate increase.

Page 2
DISCUSSION:
United Disposal is requesting an eight (8) percent rate increase for its
commercial, residential, and industrial customers, effective April 1, 2005
(Attachment 1). To give the Council an idea of the effect of this increase,
United's proposal would increase: residential rates from ,$1.25 to :$2.50 per
month, depending on cart size; commercial rates from ,$1.15 to `$$2.50 per month
for containers and from `$5.65 to `$38.65 per week for 1 to 8 yard bins, depending
on size; and industrial rates on 10 to 40 yard drop boxes from ,$8.80 to ,$$12.10
depending on size and material collected. These are a few examples; the
proposed increase affects the full spectrum of United's services. Proposed rates
are detailed in Attachment 2, current rates are detailed in Attachment 3.
United cites increased operating expenses as justification for its request.
Attachment 4 provides a summary of United's 2004 operating expenses, and a
pro-forma for 2005. That summary projects a 46.6 percent decrease in the
company's 2005 income, from 2004. United also compares its proposed
increase of eight percent to annual changes in the CPI since its last increase. As
calculated by city staff, the total change in CPI, from 19~28 through 2004, for the
Portland-Salem metropolitan area, was 14.4 percent. Finally, United provided
the Council with a comparison summary of the rates charged in the Wood.burn
franchise to those in other area communities (Attachment 5). A representative
of United Disposal will attend your March 14, 2005 meeting to answer questions
you may have about the requested increase, or this information.
United Disposal's request appears to satisfy most or all of the six criteria upon
which the Council can base its consideration of a rate adjustment. Accordingly,
your approval the requested adjustment is recommended.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The requested rate adjustment will increase residential rates by approximately
$16 to $30 per year, and commercial and industrial rates in similar proportion,
depending on use. Based on current revenue estimates, this will result in an
overall increase in franchise fees paid to the City of approximately $7,200 per
year. Under the franchise, the City receives three percent of United's gross
revenue.

Contingency Transfers
RECOMMENDATION:
Council approve the attached resolution authorizing contingency transfers.
BACKGROUND:
The scanner the Police use to scan documents into the document imaging
system (Laser Fiche) relies on an attached PC. The PC is failing. It is a Windows
98 machine, which is no longer available. This particular scanner works only on
a Windows 98 PC. The replacement of the Windows 98 PC with a Windows XP
machine (the City's current standard) will be a routine replacement funded by
the IS Fund. However, that will necessitate the replacement of the scanner with
a model that will work with XP. This is a specialized piece of equipment that is
not in the IS Fund. The cost of the recommended scanner is $3,200.
One of the street sweepers is currently inoperable. Repairs are needed to the
vacuum fan bearings, nozzle suction hose, wandering hose and belly broom
undercar-dage. The estimated cost of repair is $5,100.
Earlier in the year a $25,000 grant and a $25,000 loan were secured from the
Oregon Department of Housing and Community Services for work on the
Association Building. The expense was budgeted in the January budget
revision, but the revenue was not recognized. The project has been completed,
with pro)ecl costs, for the time being, assisted by the General Fund ClP fund.
Additional funds totaling $33,000 are needed to complete the Plaza this year.
$11,800 covers expenses in excess of budget during the design and engineering
phase, including unbudgeted site plan review and plan check fees, bid printing
and advertising costs, the unanticipated need for planning actions including lot
line adjustments and a variance request, soils testing, and mechanical and
Agenda Item Review:

electrical engineering in excess of what was anticipated. $13,700 covers
additional costs of the construction contract that contract having been
adjusted to remove benches, trash receptacles, and some trees. Contributions
for these items will be solicited from the community. $7,500 provides for
additional architect's services during construction. This will provide for technical
assistance to the Engineering department for site inspections and repoding, and
punch list inspections at close out.
Although the Plaza was scheduled at $300,000 in the Capital Improvement Plan,
the amount budgeted in the line item budget was only $270,000. $30,000 should
be added to the line item budget to correct the discrepancy.
These changes for the Plaza total $63,000 ($33,000 additional costs plus $30,000
to adjust the line item budget). However, because the transactions involving
the Association Building grant and loan can be budgeted only by a
supplemental budget process requiring public notice, they must be postponed
until a future meeting. What can be budgeted now is the transfer from the
General Fund to the General ClP fund, which is the difference between the total
requirements ($63,000) and available Contingency after the loan and grant are
recognized ($50,000). The $13,000 transfer from the General Fund can be
budgeted now. At a future meeting the $13,000 transfer into the General CIP
Fund will be budgeted along with the grant, the loan, and the appropriation of
$63,000.
The purchase of the scanner will be budgeted in Capital Outlay in the Police
budget, and will be funded by a reduction in General Fund Contingency.
The repair to the sweeper will be budgeted in the Street Fund and will be
funded by a reduction in the Street Fund Contingency.
The Plaza is budgeted in the General ClP Fund and will be partially funded by a
transfer from the General Fund. $270,000 of the Plaza expenditures will be
reimbursed from the Urban Renewal Agency.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The net effect of these budget transactions is to reduce General Fund
Contingency by $16,200, decrease Street Fund Contingency by $5,100.

Bid Award for Downtown Plaza Construction Project- Phase I
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council (Local Contract Review Board); by motion:
Reject the bid of Nomarco, Inc. as not responsive because it contained
mathematical inconsistencies between unit prices and totals and lacked
the required unit price information.
Reject the bid of 2KG Contractors, Inc. as not responsive because the First
Tier Subcontractor Disclosure Form was not submitted as required by
statute.
Accept the bid of $329,220 of D & A General Contractors, Inc., as the
lowest responsible bid, subject to the City's statutory right to negotiate the
price to make is closer to the cost estimate.
Delegate to the City Administrator the authority to award the contract to
D & A General Contractors, Inc. for a negotiated price not-to-exceed
$329,220.
BACKGROUND:
The contract is for construction of Phase I of the downtown plaza project. The
project was advertised for bid on January 6 and 7, 2005, and bids were opened on
January 27, 2005. Eight bids were received. The results were:

DISCUSSION:
The Nomarco, Inc bid contained mathematical inconsistencies between unit pdces
and totals and lacked necessary unit price information. The 2KG Contractors, Inc.
bid did not contain the First Tier Subcontractor Disclosure Form as required by
Oregon statute. Bidders are legally obligated to substantially comply with all
prescribed bidding procedures and requirements, and a bid should be rejected
when it does not comply in all material respects with the bid solicitation. These two
bids should be rejected as not-responsive.
Phase I of the plaza project was programmed in the 2003-04 capital improvement
budget, and re-budgeted in 2004-05. Phase I includes demolition of the existing
parking lot; grading; installation of plumbing and irrigation, drainage, and electrical
utilities; construction of walkways, gazebo foundation, vendor pads, hardscapes,
seating walls, and fountain; landscaping and lighting; and furnishings, including
benches and trash receptacles. Phase II will install the gazebo structure. Plaza
construction was projected, in May 2004, to cost $300,000, of which the Woodburn
Urban Renewal Agency will reimburse $270,000. A reimbursement agreement will
be presented for consideration at your March 28, 2005 Council meeting. The May
2004 projection was based on material costs at that time, some of which, such as
concrete and rebar, have risen substantially during the past year. Moreover, the
projection anticipated that, in addition to seeking contributions to construct the
gazebo, contributions would be also be sought for smaller items, such as trees,
benches, and trash receptacles. This assumption recognized the limited amount of
urban renewal funds available to complete the project. Consequently, funding for
these items was not included in City and Agency budgets for 2004-05. Because
these items are needed to complete the project, they were included in the bid
document, and the bid amount of $329,220 delivers those items.
Due to limited urban renewal funds to complete Phase I, and lack of contributions
on hand at the present time, a transfer from general fund contingencies is needed
for this project. That item was presented to your Council earlier on the March 14,
2005 agenda. That transfer continues to anticipate contributions from service
organizations, businesses, other agencies, and the public, and is not of an amount
sufficient to fully fund the cost of Phase I construction.
Since all bids received exceeded the City's cost estimate of the project, it is possible
to fudher negotiate the contract pdce with the lowest responsible bidder once that
bidder has been designated. Accordingly, if is recommended that the Council
make the lowest responsible bidder determination and then delegate to the City
Administrator the authority to negotiate the pdce and finalize the contract award in
an amount not-to-exceed $329,220. Effort will be made to remove benches, trash
receptacles, and some of the trees from the primary contract, and treat them as

additive alternatives that can be completed if contributions are received, or if the
Council should made a subsequent determination to fund them through additional
general fund resources.
FINANCIAL IMPACT,:
Based upon your earlier approval of a recommended contingency fund transfer,
$313,700 will be available for this project. Additional funds, if needed to complete
this project once solicitation efforts are completed can be requested from the
Council at that time.

SUBJECT: Acceptance of Bancroft Bond Application
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, and under the authority of ORS 223.210, Council accept the
attached Bancroft Bond application which was filed after the initial 10-day filing
period on the East Hardcastle LID.
BACKGROUND:
Under ORS 223.210 (Bancroft Bonding Act), affected property owners have 10
days after the date of the first publication of the final assessment ordinance to
file a Bancroft Bonding application thereby allowing them to pay for their share
of the assessment costs under an installment program over a 10-year period.
Applications received after the initial filing period require Council acceptance in
order to participate in the installment program.
DISCUSSION:
On February 23, 2005, an application was received from Jorge L. Bouchain, 1051
Orchard Lane. Acceptance of this applicatian will allow the property owner to
participate in the installment program established under the final assessment
ordinance for this improvement project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact on the City unless the property owner defaults on
assessment payments. If that were to occur, the City could initiate foreclosure
proceedings in order to recover the assessment balance plus interest and
related costs. In this case, the property owner has made a payment sufficient to
cover his first year principal and interest payments.

February 6, 2003
Emergency Clauses
Some recent discussion has concerned the inclusion of emergency clauses in City ordinances. I
thought it might be helpful to you for me to outline the legal parameters under the Woodburn
Charter and state law.
Effective Date
Article IV, Section 28, of the Oregon Constitution sets the effective date of state legislation:
Section 28. When act takes effect. No act shall take effect until 90 days from the
end of the session at which the same shall have been passed, except in case of
emergency; which emergency shall be declared in the preamble or in the body of
the law.
In the case of municipal legislation, Chapter VIII, Section 34, of the Woodbum City Charter
provides:
Section 34. When ordinances take effect. An ordinance enacted by the Council
shall take effect on the 30th day after its enactment. When the Council deems it
advisable, however, an ordinance may provide for a later time for it to take effect,
and in the case of an emergency, it may take effect immediately.
Legal Significance
Since the turn of the century, Oregon voters have possessed the powers of initiative and
referendum. The time between the enactment and the effective date of a measure is when
signatures can be gathered for a referendum petition. When an emergency clause causes a
measure to go into effect upon passage, the possibility of a referendum is eliminated.
It should be remembered that a referendum only applies to legislation. Legally, an enactment
which is administrative in nature cannot be placed on the ballot. Also, even if an enactment is
legislative and contains an emergency clause, it would still be possible for a voter to file an
9'/'
Emergency Clauses
February 6, 2003
Page 2
initiative petition which would repeal the legislation, although the signatures required would be
higher than for a referendum petition.
Instances Where Emergency Clause is Not Permitted
In certain instances, state law precludes the use of an emergency clause. Article IX, Section
la, of the Oregon Constitution states that the legislative assembly shall not declare an
emergency in any act regulating taxation. The appellate courts have held that this
constitutional provision also applies to cities and counties.
In an entirely different context, when a city annexes property and does not submit the
annexation to the voters, ORS 222.120(6) provides that the ordinance passed is subject to a
referendum. This means that an emergency clause cannot be added to this type of ordinance.
Finally, there may be other infrequently encountered instances where the inclusion of an
emergency clause would be legally inappropriate.
Judicial Deference to Emergency Clauses
Except in the instances where the Oregon Constitution or a statute prohibits their use, appellate
courts defer to a legislative declaration of emergency. In a long line of appellate cases, the
Oregon courts have made it clear that they will not "second guess" the legislative body's
determination that an emergency exists. Generally, the judicial reasoning has been that the
legislature has accountability to the voters and that the issue should be handled through the
electoral process and not the courts.
Even in instances where an emergency clause has been added to legislation contrary to law, the
courts have been unwilling to void the legislation. Instead, the remedy is to void only the
emergency clause itself and allow the legislation to take effect as if an emergency clause had
never been inserted.
Present City_ Council Policy
Historically, when they are not precluded by law, emergency clauses have been used in
Woodbum on a fairly routine basis. This policy predated my tenure as City Attorney. In
instances where a certain effective date has been agreed to (i.e., the recently enacted PGE
franchise), no emergency clause is included. However, in most other instances, an emergency
clause is part of the ordinance.
The City Council clearly has the authority to change the policy on the use of emergency
clauses. As to anticipated legal problems which could occur, if this policy is changed, I have
only two concerns. First, I believe it is important for the City to preserve its ability to act
immediately when this is necessary. Second, I have a general concern regarding land use
cases.
98
Emergency Clauses
February 6, 2003
Page 3
My first concern could be addressed by the City Council continuing to consider ordinances
with emergency clauses included when there is an explanation from staff as to why immediate
action is needed.
My second concern is about land use cases. While the City Council clearly has the legal
authority to remove emergency clauses from all land use ordinances, I believe that this action
could create confusion and potential future problems. As you are aware, the Oregon land use
process is based upon a structured statewide system. In almost every instance a land use matter
which comes before the City Council has already had a public hearing before the Planning
Commission. Most of the time these actions are site specific and could not be placed on the
ballot. Developers and all of the people related to a development application are usually in a
hurry and believe that after the City Council votes on a matter, it has been decided. During my
career as City Attorney I have argued with lawyers in specific cases about the exact point at
which something was appealable to LUBA. For these reasons, I believe that insertion of
emergency clauses in land use ordinances (except in the case of annexations where this is not
permitted) helps avoid additional confusion and controversy.
