EXHIBIT "A"
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
I. RELEVANT FACTS:
Land area: Approximately 0.59 acres.
The applicant's site is located at 751 Young Street. The property is identified
specifically as Tax Lot 3800 in NW 1/4, T5S, R1W, Section 18AD of Marion
County Assessor Maps.
The subject property is designated Residential >12 units per acre on the
Woodburn Comprehensive Plan and is zoned RS.
Surrounding zoning (Comprehensive Plan designation) and land use:
North: Zoned RS (Residential >12 u/a) and developed with single
family residences.
South: Zoned RM (Residential >12u/a) and developed with a mix of
multiple and single family residences.
East: Zoned RS (Residential >12u/a) and developed with single
family residences on the easterly two lots and a multiple
family complex on the east side of Gatch Street.
West: Zoned RS (Residential >12u/a) and developed with single
family residences on the westerly two lots and then
transitions to multiple family developments.
The subject site is currently developed with a single family dwelling and a shop
building. Because the site is surrounded by development within the city, public
facilities are readily available to the site.
Schools: The nearest school facilities are Washington Elementary and French
Prairie Middle Schools.
The site is relatively level and has vegetation typically associated with a single
family residence. No topographical or environmental constraints have been
identified on the subject property.

III. FINDINGS:
A. Woodburn Comprehensive Plan - Chapter IX. Goals and Policies:
Residential Land Development Policies (IX-A):
A-11 Traffic from high density residential areas should have access
to collector or arterial streets without going through other
residential streets.
FINDING: The only means of access to the subject property is from
Young Street which is classified as a minor arterial street. Single
family developments are generally discouraged from developing
with direct access to arterial streets. However, the subject site is
ideally located for multiple family uses which is consistent with the
above policy.
Housing Goals and Policies (IX-G):
G-1-1 The City will insure that sufficient land is made available to
accommodate the growth of the City. This requires that
sufficient land for both high density and low density
residential developments is provided within the confines of
the growth and development goals of the City...
FINDING: The subject site has been designated on the
Comprehensive Plan as Residential >12 uta (High Density
Residential). The Zoning Ordinance utilizes the RD (Residential
Duplex District), RL (Limited Multi-Family Residential District), RM,
and RH (High Rise Residential District) zoning districts to
implement the High Density Residential designation. The RM zone
exists on the south side of Young Street from the subject property,
one lot away on the west side and across Gatch Street to the east.
Changing the zoning of the property to RM is consistent with the
Findings and Conclusions - ZC 99-07

above policy.
G-1-2 It is the policy of the city to encourage a variety of housing
types to accommodate the demands of the local housing
market.
FINDING: Changing the zoning to RM will encourage a variety of
housing types consistent with the above policy.
B. Woodburn Zoning Ordinance:
1. Chapter 15 Zone Change Procedures
FINDING: The zone change is necessary in order to allow multiple
family residential uses on the subject site in conformity with the
Comprehensive Plan designation for the site. The applicant does
not propose any new development at this time, but desires to
change the zoning to allow the option of developing the site with
multiple family residential uses in the future.
2. Chapter 16 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Procedure.
Section 16.080 Burden of Proof.
The following specific questions shall be given consideration
in evaluating requests regarding plan and zoning amendments
and are as follows:
(b) To support a zone change, the applicant shall:
(1) Show there is a need for the use proposed;
(2) Show that the particular property in question will
best meet that need.
FINDING: The applicant is not proposing any specific new
use at this time. However, the change of zone to RM will be
consistent with the High Density Residential designation of
the property on the Comprehensive Plan. The most
appropriate zoning of the property is for multiple family
residential uses since this is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and the classification of Young Street
as a minor arterial. In addition, Young Street has been
transitioning to multiple family dwellings which is

demonstrated by the numerous apartment complexes in the
vicinity of the subject property.
3. Chapter 26 Multiple Residential (RM) District
Section 26.010 Use
FINDING: The existing single family dwelling is a permitted use in
the RM District and therefore will remain a conforming use if the
zone change is approved.
Section 26.040 Height.
FINDING: The existing dwelling and shop building comply with
height requirements of the RM District.
Section 26.050 Side and Rear Yards
FINDING: The existing dwelling complies with rear and side yard
setbacks.
Section 26.060 Front Yard. In an RM District, there shall be a
minimum front yard of 20 feet. No parking shall be allowed
within 20 feet of the front lot line.
FINDING: The existing dwelling exceeds the front yard setback
requirement.
Section 26.065 Solar Access.
FINDING: The existing dwelling and shop building meet solar
access requirements.
Section 26.070 Landscaped Yards.
FINDING: The existing site complies with requirements for
landscaped yards.
Section 26.080 Lot Area and Width. . . . In an RM District the
minimum requirement for lot area for other uses shall be 5,000
square feet plus additional lot area computed as follows:
(a) For the first through fifth unit:
Findings and Conclusions - ZC 99-07

,
(1) For each dwelling unit with one or fewer
bedrooms - 1,200 square feet.
(b) For the sixth dwelling unit and each succeeding
dwelling unit, the following additional lot area shall be
required:
(1) For each dwelling unit with one or less bedrooms,
one story - 1,250 square feet.
(c) No main building or group of main buildings shall
occupy more than 30 percent of the lot area, and no
detached accessory structure may occupy more than 25
percent of any side or rear yard . . .
(d) Every lot in an RM District shall have a minimum of 60
feet at the building line. The minimum lot area
requirements for buildings other than dwellings shall be
an area not less than the sum of the area occupied by
the building or buildings, and the area required for yards
herein, or 5,000 square feet, whichever is greater.
FINDING: The lot contains 25,787 square feet which exceeds the
minimum 6,000 square feet required for a single family residence.
The lot is 107 feet wide which exceeds the 60 foot requirement.
The shop building covers less than 25% of the rear yard. Based
on the lot size, the lot could yield up to a maximum of 16 dwelling
units [5,000+(5 units x1 ,200)+(11 units x1 ,250)=24,750 SF].
C. Woodburn Transportation System Plan (TSP)
FINDING: The zone change will be consistent with the Woodburn
Transportation Systems Plan in that the traffic analysis and
recommendations contained in the TSP were based on Comprehensive
Plan land use designations and not zoning. Changing the zoning of the
subject property to RM will not affect the TSP.
IV. CONCLUSION: The proposal satisfies all approval criteria relating to a zone
change.
