FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT 01-02
ZONE CHANGE 01-05
SITE PLAN REVIEW 01-13
PARTITION 01-07
I. APPLICATION INFORMATION:
Applicant:
Leon Oliver
1425 NW Ponderosa St.
Grants Pass, OR 97526
Property Owner:
Father Eugene Heidt
18153 Power Creek Loop Rd.
Silverton, OR 97381
II. NATURE OF APPLICATION:
The applicant is requesting to change the Comprehensive Plan Map designation on
a residential property from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential and
change the Zoning Map designation from Single-Family Residential District (RS) to
Multi-Family Residential District (RM). The request also includes a Site Plan Review
application for two proposed residential care facilities and a Partition application to
divide the property into three parcels.
III. RELEVANT FACTS:
The subject site is located south of Hwy 214 (Newberg Hwy) on the west side of N.
Cascade Drive, near the intersection of Hwy 214 and N. Cascade Drive. It is
addressed at 847 N. Cascade Drive, further identified on Marion County Assessor
Maps as Township 5 South, Range 2 West, Section 12DA, Tax Lot 2000.
The property is currently zoned Single-Family Residential District (RS) with a
Comprehensive Plan Map designation of Low Density Residential (Less Than 12
Units Per Acre). The property is 1.7 acres in size (73,992 sq. ft.) and is virtually flat.
There are currently two single-family homes and three accessory buildings on the
site. Properties in the RS District are only allowed to have one single-family
dwelling per lot. As a result, the subject site is nonconforming with its two homes.
One of the homes and one of the accessory structures will be removed as part of
this project. The other existing structures on the south side of the site are to
remain. The proposed three-parcel partition will remove this nonconforming status.
Page 4 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
,
There are trees and shrubs on the site, and most are to be removed to
accommodate the proposed development.
The property is to be divided into three parcels. The applicant proposes to
construct two residential care facilities (RCF's), one each on Parcels 1 and 2. The
parcels with the RCF's will each be 24,597 sq. ft. in size and take up the north 2/3
of the existing property. Each of the RCF's are proposed to be 15-bed residential
care units 5,628 sq. ft. in size. The remaining 1/3 of the property to the south will
be 24,797 sq. ft. and will contain an existing single-family home and two accessory
structures, which are to remain on the parcel. The applicant has not proposed site
plan review approval for Parcel 3.
The adjacent property to the north is zoned Commercial Office (CO) and is
designated on the Comprehensive Plan Map as Commercial; this property currently
has a bank. The adjacent properties to the east (across N. Cascade Drive) are
zoned Multi-Family Residential District (RM) and are designated on the
Comprehensive Plan Map as Commercial; these properties contain senior multi-
family housing. There are two adjacent properties to the south with separate
designations. The property that fronts N. Cascade Drive is zoned RS District and
has a Comprehensive Plan Map designation of Low Density Residential (Less Than
12 Units Per Acre); this property has an existing single-family home. The other
adjacent property to the south, which is also the adjacent property to the west, is
zoned Public Amusement District (PA) and has a Comprehensive Plan Map
designation of Open Space and Parks; this property is part of the Senior Estates
Golf Course.

V. FINDINGS:
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT 01-02
A. Statewide Planning Goals
Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement
FINDING: Goal 1 calls for"... the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases
of the planning process..." The citizen involvement procedures and policies for
Woodburn are established in the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
Ordinance. This goal was met through the appropriate notice and public hearing
procedures.
Goal 2 - Land Use Planning
Page 6 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
1
FINDING: Goal 2 outlines the basic procedures of Oregon's statewide planning
program. It says that land use decisions are to be made in accordance with a
comprehensive plan, and that suitable "implementation ordinances" to put the plan's
policies into effect must be adopted. The Woodburn Comprehensive Plan is
acknowledged as complying with Statewide Planning Goals. This application is
being processed under the provisions set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
This goal has been met.
Goal 3 - Agricultural Lands
FINDING: Goal 3 defines "agricultural lands." It then requires counties to inventory
such lands and to "preserve and maintain" them through farm zoning. The subject
property is currently within the city limits and urban growth boundary. Therefore,
this goal does not apply.
Goal 4 - Forest Lands
FINDING: This goal defines forest lands and requires counties to inventory them
and adopt policies and ordinances that will "conserve forest lands for forest users."
The subject property is currently within the city limits and urban growth boundary.
Therefore, this goal does not apply.
Goal 5 - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Resources, and Natural
Resources
FINDING: Goal 5 covers more than a dozen natural and cultural resources such as
wildlife habitats and wetlands. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Map
Amendment to allow more intensive uses on the property does not affect any open
space, scenic, historic, or natural resource. Wetlands are not identified on the
subject property in the Local Wetlands Inventory. In addition, the site is outside of
the 50Q-year floodplain. The applicant has shown compliance with this goal.
Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality
FINDING: This goal requires local comprehensive plans and implementing
measures to be consistent with state and federal regulations on matters such as
groundwater pollution.
The site has no significant natural vegetation. The land form on the site will be
altered slightly, but additional trees and landscaping will be provided as a result of
the proposed site development. Public water, sewer, and storm drainage facilities
are already available for the development. These systems will prevent
Page 7 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
,
inappropriate pollution of ground and/or surface water resources. The City's
facilities are designed to comply with the Department of Environmental Quality
standards for environmental quality, and the site development will be required to
conform to-City standards.
The potential increase in auto trips to and from the site could increase the level of
air pollutants in the area. However, this type of air pollution is a result of land that
has been designated for residential development in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The applicant has shown compliance with this goal.
Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards
FINDING: Goal 7 deals with development in places subject to natural hazards such
as floods or landslides. There are no known hazards associated with the subject
site. The site is relatively flat and is located outside of the 500-year floodplain. The
applicant has shown compliance with this goal.
Goal 8 - Recreational Needs
FINDING: This goal calls for each community to evaluate its areas and facilities for
recreation and develop plans to deal with the projected demand for them. The
subject site is designated for residential development. The City's existing codes and
ordinances ensure that recreational needs will be met for different types of uses.
The applicant has shown compliance with this goal.
Goal 9 - Economic Development
FINDING: Goal 9 calls for the diversification and improvement of the economy.
The applicant indicates that the proposed change and development of the subject
site will generate construction and landscape maintenance jobs, and provide entry-
level positions for the health care industry. The applicant has shown compliance
with this goal.
Goal 10 - Housing
FINDING: This goal specifies that each city must plan for and accommodate
needed housing types. It requires each city to inventory its buildable residential
lands, project future needs for such lands, and plan and zone enough buildable land
to meet those needs.
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment to a higher density of
residential use will allow for more types of housing to be provided on the subject
Page 8 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
,.
site. For example, elderly care housing, multiple family housing and other types of
housing will be offered in addition to single-family residential. The applicant has
shown compliance with this goal.
Goal 11 - Public Facilities and Services
FINDING: Goal 11 calls for efficient planning of public services such as sewers,
water, law enforcement, and fire protection. The subject site is an infill property
surrounded by urban development, and all necessary public services and facilities
are available to serve the future uses allowed under the High Density Residential
designation. The development will be required to conform to the City's public facility
and services requirements. The applicant has shown compliance with this goal.
Goal 12 - Transportation
FINDING: This goal aims to provide "a safe, convenient and economic
transportation system." The subject site has access to N. Cascade Drive and is
near its intersection with Hwy 214. These are existing improved roadways.
The current Low Density Residential designation of the site allows up to 12 units per
acre. The subject site is 1.7 acres in size, potentially allowing 20 low density
residential units (12 x 1.7 = 20.4). The ITE Manual, 6th Edition assigns a trip
generation of 9.57 average trips per day for single-family residential units. This site
could generate up to 196 trips per day (9.57 x 20.4 = 195.2) under the current
designation.
The proposed High Density Residential designation allows over 12 units per acre.
The most intensive use (multiple-family dwelling units) under this designation would
potentially allow up to 36 two-bedroom units on the subject site. The ITE Manual
assigns 6.63 average trips per day for two-bedroom multi-family units. This could
generate up to 239 trips per day (6.63 x 36 = 238.7) under the proposed designation
of High Density Residential. The proposed designation has the potential to increase
traffic by 43 trips per day as compared to the existing designation. The traffic
impacts created by an additional 43 trips per day should not adversely affect
planned facilities of the Transportation Systems Plan (TSP). The applicant has
shown compliance with this goal.
Goal 13 - Energy Conservation.
FINDING: Goal 13 declares that "land uses developed on the land shall be
managed and controlled so as to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy,
based upon sound economic principles." Current codes for energy efficiency will
Page 9 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
,
ensure that the proposed uses on the property will maximize the conservation of all
forms of energy. The applicant has shown compliance with this goal.
Goal 14 - Urbanization
FINDING: This goal requires cities to estimate future growth and needs for land and
then plan and zone enough land to meet those needs. It calls for each city to
establish an "urban growth boundary" (UGB) to "identify and separate urbanized
land from rural land." The subject site is located within the Woodburn UGB. In the
2000 Woodburn Buildable Lands and Urbanization Project Final Report, the land
use planning consultants stated that the estimated demand for high density
residential designated land in 20 years is 117.3 acres. The available buildable land
is 121.1 acres, leaving a slight capacity excess of 3.8 acres of high density
residential land. The consultants stated that the estimated demand for low density
residential designated land in 20 years is 340.3 acres. The available buildable low
density residential land is 535 acres, leaving a capacity excess of 194.7 acres. The
consultants project a much greater surplus of low density residential land versus
high density residential land in 20 years. The conversion of 1.7 acres of vacant low
density residential land to high density residential land will not significantly effect the
surplus of single family residential land in the next 20 years. The excess capacity
would decrease slightly from 194.7 acres to 193 acres of low density residential land
as a result of the proposed plan amendment. The amendment will allow for the
efficient use of urban land by further developing under-utilized land that is within the
UGB. The applicant has shown compliance with this goal.
Goals 15 - 19
FINDING: Goals 15 through 19 address the Willamette Greenway, estuarine
resources, coastal shorelands, beaches, dunes and ocean resources. These goals
are not applicable to the City of Woodburn.
B. Woodburn Comprehensive Plan
1. Residential Land Development Policies
A-1 Residential areas should be designed around a neighborhood
concept. Neighborhoods should be an identifiable unit bounded
by arterial non-residential uses, or natural features of the terrain.
The neighborhood should have a community facility, such as a
school, park, or privately owned community facility to allow for
interaction within the neighborhood.
Page 10 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
,
FINDING: The change from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential
will allow uses on the property that will not create a neighborhood but will become
part of an existing neighborhood. There is a privately-owned golf course (Senior
Estates) which is a community facility adjacent to the subject site that is part of the
neighborhood. This policy addresses residential neighborhoods which include all
types of residential uses. Because the change in designation will not change the
residential nature of the designation, there will be no change in the neighborhood
boundary. Consequently, this policy does not apply.
A-2 Living Environment - Developments in residential area be
constructed in such a way that they will not seriously deteriorate
over time. Zoning ordinances should be strictly enforced to
prevent encroachment of degrading non-residential uses.
Construction standards in the State Building Code shall be
vigorously enforced, and if necessary, additional standards the
City determines should be imposed to insure non-degrading
housing units, should be encouraged by the City.
FINDING: High density residential uses will be required to be developed in
conformance with the City of Woodburn Zoning Ordinance and all other applicable
ordinances. The uses that would be allowed on the property through the
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from Low Density Residential to High
Density Residential will be required to comply with applicable City standards and the
State of Oregon building codes. This provision is not a criterion directed at
individual decisions.
A-3 Development should promote, through the use of moderate density
standards and creative design, a feeling of openness and
spaciousness with sufficient landscaped area and open space to
create a pleasant living environment.
FINDING: The uses allowed under the proposed High Density Residential
designation are required to provide 'landscaping and open space to provide a feeling
of openness and spaciousness. The proposal complies with this policy.
A-4 Streets in residential areas should be used by residents for access
to collectors and arterials. Residential streets should be designed
to minimize their use for through traffic, however, whenever
possible dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs should be avoided.
FINDING: The street pattern is already established in this neighborhood. N.
Cascade Drive is designated as an access street in the Woodburn Transportation
Page 11 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
1
System Plan. N. Cascade Drive connects to Hwy 214 to the north, which is a major
arterial, and to W. Hayes Street to the south, which is a collector. The proposal
complies with this policy.
A-5 Residential developments should strive for creative design which
will maximize the inherent values of the land being developed and
encourage slow moving traffic. Each residential development
should provide for landscaping and tree planting to enhance the
livability and aesthetics of the neighborhoods.
FINDING: Future development of the site with high density residential will be
subject to design requirements and landscaping requirements to enhance the
aesthetics and livability of the neighborhood.
A-6 to A-9
FINDING: Residential Policies A-6 to A-9 address non-residential uses in
residential areas. They are therefore not applicable to the applicant's
comprehensive plan map amendment request.
A-10 High density residential areas should be located so as to minimize
the possible deleterious effects on adjacent low density
residential developments. When high density and low density
areas abut, density should decrease in those areas immediately
adjacent to low density residential land. Whenever possible,
buffering should be practiced by such means as landscaping,
sight-obscuring fences and hedges, and increased setbacks.
FINDING: The subject site currently abuts a Single-Family Residential District to the
south. The southerly parcel (Parcel 3) will remain Low Density Residential so that
it can serve as a buffer and a transition area between the High Density Residential
designation to the north and the established Low Density Residential to the south.
City code requires a seven foot high fence between RM and RS zoned
developments. Since proposed Parcel 3 is to retain its RS zoning, a fence must be
provided between it and the proposed residential care facility on Parcel 2. To
minimize adverse impacts between the potential uses, this fence shall be a solid
wall. With compliance with the above, assumed through a condition of approval,
this policy will be met.
2. Housing Goals and Policies (IX-G):

ORDINANCE NO.
,
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 property has been planned for residential development.
Market conditions and supply of developable land dictate what parcels within the
City's planning area are developed.
In the 2000 Woodburn Buildable Lands and Urbanization Project Final Report, the
land use planning consultants stated that the estimated demand for high density
residential designated land in 20 years is 117.3 acres. The available buildable land
is 121.1 acres, leaving a slight capacity excess of 3.8 acres of high density
residential land. The consultants stated that the estimated demand for low density
residential designated land in 20 years is 340.3 acres. The available buildable low
density residential land is 535 acres, leaving a capacity excess of 194.7 acres. The
consultants project a much greater surplus of low density residential land versus
high density residential land in 20 years. The conversion of 1.7 acres of vacant low
density residential land to high density residential land will not significantly effect the
surplus of single family residential land in the next 20 years. The excess capacity
would decrease slightly from 194.7 acres to 193 acres of low density residential land
as a result of the proposed plan amendment. The proposal complies with this
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: The proposed amendment from Low Density Residential to High Density
Residential will allow for a variety of housing types in Woodburn through the allowed
zoning uses and will further meet housing demands. The proposal complies with
this policy.
3. Public Services Goals and Policies:
H-1 Public Facilities and services shall be appropriate to support
sufficient amounts of land to maintain an adequate housing market
in areas undergoing development or redevelopment.
FINDING: The subject site has access to all public facilities and services, which are
currently available within the N. Cascade Drive right-of-way. These facilities
Page 13 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
,
currently have sufficient capacity to serve potential uses in the proposed High
Density Residential Designation. The proposal complies with this policy.
4. Growth and Urbanization Policies (IX-M):
FINDING: The developer is required to pay systems development charges for their
impact on the infrastructure per the Public Works Department. Public services are
available to the site for high density residential uses. This policy can be met.
C. Woodburn Zoning Ordinance
1. 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:
(a) To support an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, the applicant
shall:
(1) Prove that the original plan was in error;
(2) Show that the community has changed since the original plan was
adopted; or
(3) Show that there has been a change in the planning and growth policy
of the City.
FINDING: The applicant has addressed questions 1 and 2 in the submitted
narrative in regard to this Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment request.
Specifically, the applicant states,
"In this situation, the Comprehensive Plan could be in error. This property is a
peninsula inserted into commercial, park and multi-family zones projecting north
from a single family zone. Only the park zone is compatible with the current
zoning, as it is with the proposed zone and plan designation."
The subject site has commercial land use designations located to the north and east
(across Cascade Drive) as shown on the City of Woodburn Comprehensive Plan
Map. The commercial land use designations are not compatible with a low density
residential use. A Comprehensive Plan designation of high density residential was
not placed as a transition area between the commercial designation to the north and
the subject site which currently is designated for low density residential uses. The
Council finds that the Comprehensive Plan is in error by not providing a transition
Page 14 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
,
land use designation (i.e., high density residential) between the commercial property
to the north and the single family residential property to the south. However, Parcel
3 shall retain its land use designation of Low Density Residential to provide a buffer
and transition area between the existing residence to the south of Parcel 3 and the
proposed High Density Residential to the north.
ZONE CHANGE 01-05
A. Woodburn Zoning Ordinance
1. Chapter 15 Zone Change Procedure
Section 15.010. Amendments. A Zone Change is a reclassification of any
area from one zone or district to another, after the proposed change has
been reviewed and a recommendation made by the Planning Commission.
Such change shall be by an ordinance enacted by the Common Council
after proceedings have been accomplished in accordance with the following
provisions.
Section 15.035. Hearing Before the Planning Commission. The
Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing as described in Chapter 7
of the Zoning Ordinance. After concluding its hearing, the Planning
Commission shall prepare a report setting forth a summary of facts and
conditions involved in the reclassification and submit the same, together with
its recommendation to the Common Council.
Section 15.055. Site Plan Required. A site plan approved by the Planning
Commission may be required and if such requirement is made in the
resolution of intent, the same shall be binding upon the property....Any
approved site plan may be amended or a Variance therefrom obtained, or it
may be released from the restrictions of such site plan by Resolution of the
Common Council on recommendation from the Planning Commission. No
other changes shall be made constituting a departure from the approved site
plan except by amendment or Variance as herein provided unless the same
has been released from the site plan.
FINDING: The above sections cover the procedure for a zone change.

ORDINANCE NO.
t
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;
FINDING: The applicant states,
"... the use of RCF's to house the elderly is a relatively new housing type. It
provides a form of housing for residents that cannot live independently but are
merely 'aging in place' but are not in need of the more intensive care offered by
a traditional nursing home with a more institutional environment. The type of
living provided by the RCF's is a more intimate, comfortable and acceptable
lifestyle that allows communities to distribute elderly citizens throughout the
community rather than concentrate them in locations that allow 'big box' nursing
care facilities.
The applicant's research shows that this type of housing is needed in Woodburn
demonstrated by population data. Exhibit liD" [ of the Comprehensive Plan Map
and Zone Change applications ], population data, demonstrates that from 1990
to 1997 Woodburn's population grew at a rate of 20.5 percent. During the same
period Woodburn's over-65 population was at the highest ratio in the study at
22.4 percent of the population. This proposal intends to add needed housing to
Woodburn's inventory."
As the applicant states, and as the population data shows, Woodburn's elderly
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. This project will add to the variety of housing types for the elderly in
Woodburn since it will provide an alternative between independent living and an
institutional nursing home. The applicant has demonstrated that there is a public
need for the proposed residential care facilities on proposed Parcels 1 & 2.
Evidence has not been provided that there is a need for a multi-family use on Parcel
3. The need shown is limited to a residential care facility. No need was shown for
a standard multi-family residential development.
2. Show that the particular piece of property in question will best meet
that need.
FINDING: The applicant states,
Page 16 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
,
"The applicant searched Woodburn properties for the development of his RCF's.
The properties that he found available that were properly zoned were both too
large for his project and in neighborhoods that were developed with high density
apartment uses that are incompatible with his proposed development. This
property is close to arterial access, adjacent to open (quiet) space and across
from a compatible land use. This property is flat to allow for handicapped
access and has all the needed infrastructure."
The proposed residential care facilities on Parcels 1 & 2 are less intensive and
smaller in scale than typical multi-family residential developments allowed in the RM
District. RCF's of this scale that meet applicable setback and buffering
requirements are compatible with low density residential neighborhoods. Parcels
1 & 2 are small enough so that they do not significantly affect the City's inventory
of RS zoned land, yet large enough to accommodate the proposed development.
In addition, the site is accessible due to its proximity to Hwy 214 and its through
access to W. Hayes Street. The applicant has shown that the RCF's on Parcels 1
& 2 can best meet the increasing need for this particular type of elderly housing.
Parcels 1 & 2 are located on the northern portion of the subject site, which is
adjacent to Commercial Office (CO) zoning to the north. A multi-family use on this
portion of the property will serve as a transition between the CO and RS Districts.
The RM zone uses allowed on Parcels 1 and 2 should be restricted to uses which
are equal to or less intensive than the proposed residential care facilities. This is
necessary because a standard apartment complex, which is a permitted use in the
RM zone, would be a more intensive use in that it would require more parking and
create greater traffic and noise impacts. The applicant's evidence addressed only
the RCF use and did not demonstrate that adverse effects on the transportation
system should not result from a more intense use. The City Council finds that the
greater intensity of use resulting from standard apartments would not achieve the
objective of transitioning the intensity of use from the commercial area to the
residential area.
The applicant did not provide evidence that Parcel 3 would best meet the need for
additional multi-family zoned land on the southern portion of the site. This parcel
will best serve as a buffer between the proposed RM zoned property on the
northern portion of the site and the existing residence to the south of the site.
SITE PLAN REVIEW 01-13
FINDING: The Site Plan Review request was made only for the RCF's on Parcels
1 & 2. Site Plan Review was not requested for Parcel 3. The following discussion
for Site Plan Review only applies to Parcels 1 and 2.

A. Woodburn Zoning Ordinance
1. Chapter 8 General Standards
Section 8.140 No Parking in Front Yard or Landscaped Areas
FINDING: The required front yard setback in the RM District is 20 feet. No parking
is proposed within the required yard area as part of the proposed RCF
development.
Section 8.190 Vision Clearance
FINDING: Vision clearance requirements are being met at the applicant's proposed
driveways onto N. Cascade Blvd. This standard will be enforced during review of
access and building permits.
Section 8.040. Special Setback Distances.
(a) (3) Cascade Drive, W. Hayes Street to OR State Hwy 214.....30 feet
FINDING: N. Cascade Drive has a right-of-way width of 60 feet. Special setback
distances are measured from the centerline of the right-of-way. The centerline of
N. Cascade Drive is 30 feet from the front property line of the subject site, placing
the special setback on said property line. The proposed development meets the
special setback requirement.
2. Chapter 9 Residential Standards
Section 9.080. Fences-Location, Height and Density. In any yard
adjacent to a street and within ten feet from the property line adjacent to
such street, fences, walls and hedges may be up to 30 inches in height.

approved by the Planning Director, in the amounts not less than those listed
below:
(i) Convalescent Hospital, Nursing Home, Sanitarium, Rest Home, Home
for the Aged:
(1) One space per four beds for patients or residents.
FINDING: Proposed Parcels 1 & 2 will each have a 15-bed residential care facility.
Each facility is required to have a minimum of four off-street parking spaces (15/4
= 3.75). The applicant is proposing five parking spaces for each facility, exceeding
the minimum.
Section 10.060. Off-Street Loading Requirements.
FINDING: Loading spaces are not required for the RCF's. A loading space is
required for multi-family dwellings with 10 or more dwelling units. The WZO defines
a multiple family dwelling as a building designed for occupancy by three or more
families living independently of each other. The RCF's are not designed with
independent dwelling units. The dining room, kitchen and day room in the RCF's
will be shared by the 15 residents. This criterion does not apply.
Section 10.070 Parking and Loading Area Development Requirements.
FINDING: The applicant's site plan meets all of the requirements with respect to
location, surfacing, size of parking spaces and parking lot buffering. Driveways will
be improved in compliance with City requirements. Lighting is required to be
deflected away from residential uses and right of way. A condition of approval
requires all exterior lighting to be approved by the Community Development Director
and that it comply with this requirement.
4. Chapter 11 Site Plan Review:
Section 11.070 Criteria for Evaluating a Site Plan
(a) The placement of structures on the property shall minimize adverse
impacts on adjacent uses.
FINDING: A site plan has been submitted for Parcels 1 and 2. The plan proposes
two residential care facilities on these parcels. Each of the RCF's is to be a single-
story structure and will be located in a manner that complies with minimum setback
requirements.
Page 19 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
,
Since Parcel 3 will retain its RS zoning, a 15-foot landscape buffer is required
pursuant to the Landscaping Policies and Standards Document between Parcels
2 and 3. Based on the proposed landscape and site plans, this buffer requirement
will not be met on the south side of Parcel 2 where it adjoins Parcel 3. A condition
of approval requires the applicant to provide a 15-foot landscape buffer along the
south side of Parcel 2 and to locate the RCF on Parcel 2 more to the north to
accommodate the buffer. The RCF on Parcel 2 can be shifted to the north 15 feet
and set back 10 feet from the north property line, which meets the required side
yard setback of five feet.
(b) Landscaping shall be used to minimize the impact on adjacent uses;
and
(c) Landscaping shall be so located as to maximize its aesthetic value.
FINDING: The applicant's landscaping plan shows that landscape coverage of the
development area (Parcels 1 & 2) will total approximately 57% of each parcel
exceeding the 20% required. The landscaping plan indicates that landscaping will
be evenly distributed throughout the parking areas with more than a 5-foot
landscape strip adjacent to the street. The RCF's on proposed Parcels 1 & 2 will
have large front yards with a variety of ground cover, shrubs and trees.
A 15-foot landscape buffer is required pursuant to the Landscaping Policies and
Standards Document between Parcels 2 and 3. The proposed landscape and site
plans do not satisfy this buffer requirement on the south side of Parcel 2 where it
adjoins Parcel 3. A condition of approval requires the applicant to provide a 15-foot
landscape buffer along the south side of Parcel 2 and that the RCF on Parcel 2 be
moved to the north to accommodate the buffer. The RCF on Parcel 2 can be
shifted to the north 15 feet and set back 10 feet from the north property line, which
meets the required side yard setback of five feet.
The remainder of the area to be developed (Parcels 1 & 2) will be entirely
surrounded by landscape strips that comply with the City's buffering and
landscaping standards. By complying with the condition of approval mentioned in
the previous paragraph, landscaping will minimize adverse impacts on adjacent
uses.
(d) Access to the public streets shall minimize the impact of traffic patterns.
Whenever possible, direct access shall not be allowed to arterial
streets. Wherever possible, access shall be shared with adjacent uses
of a similar nature.

FINDING: Each of the RCF's on proposed Parcels 1 & 2 will have its own access
onto N. Cascade Drive. The existing single-family residence on Parcel 3 has a
driveway access which will remain. N. Cascade Drive is a local access street which
requires a minimum driveway spacing distance of 10 feet, per the Woodburn
Access Management Ordinance. The driveways proposed for each of the RCF's
will exceed this spacing distance. All remaining current accesses on the site will be
closed as part of this development. The applicant has shown compliance with this
approval criteria.
(e) The design of the drainage facilities shall minimize the impact on the
city's or other public agencies drainage facilities.
FINDING: All necessary public services and facilities are available to serve the
subject site and the proposed development. The development will be required to
conform to the City's public facility and services requirements. Compliance with the
City standards minimizes impacts. The applicant has shown compliance with this
approval criteria.
(f) The design encourages energy conservation, both in its siting on the
lot, and its accommodation of pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
FINDINGS: The applicant's project is required to meet current codes for energy
efficiency per the State building codes. Pedestrian and bicycle access between the
proposed RCF's and Cascade Drive is made available by the proposed access
driveways. This criterion is met.
(g) The proposed site development, including the architecture,
landscaping and graphic design, is in conformity with the site
development requirements of this ordinance and with the standards
of this and other ordinances insofar as the location and appearance
of the proposed development are involved.
FINDING: The applicant's proposal on Parcels 1 & 2 will comply, directly or through
compliance with conditions of approval, with the standards of the Zoning Ordinance
and other ordinances as discussed herein.
(h) The location, design, color and materials of the exterior of all
structures and signs are compatible with the proposed development
and appropriate to the character of the immediate neighborhood.

the maximum height standard in the RM District.
Section 26.050. Side and Rear Yards.
(a) There shall be a side yard and a rear yard on every lot in an RM
District, which yards shall have a minimum depth as follows:
(1) One story five feet
FINDING: The proposed RCF's are set back no less than 10 feet from all side and
rear yards. The RCF on Parcel 2 is proposed to be located six feet from the side
property line to the south. However, a condition of approval requires there to be a
15-foot landscape buffer along this property line to satisfy landscaping standards,
which will require the structure to set back 15 feet from said property line. This will
cause the building to set back 10 feet from the other side property line to the north

,
(between the two RCF's). The site plan along with this condition assumes that the
proposed development meets all minimum side and rear yard setbacks in the RM
District.
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 applicant has shown a minimum of an 85-foot front yard setback
from the proposed RCF buildings to the front property line. The applicant does not
show parking within the required 20-foot front yard setback. The proposed
development complies with front yard setback requirements.
Section 26.065. Solar Access.
FINDING: A solar shadow plan submitted by the applicant indicates that the
proposal complies with this section. This plan shows that the proposed RCF
structures on Parcels 1 & 2 will not project a shadow onto adjacent buildings or any
adjacent buildable area.
Section 26. 070. Landscaped Yards.
(a) In an RM District the following landscaped yards shall be provided for
residential uses other than single and two family dwellings:
(1) For each dwelling unit with one or less bedrooms - 300 square feet.
One hundred additional square feet for each bedroom over one.
(b) In an RM District all required yards adjacent to a street shall be
landscaped, except that portion devoted to off-street parking. Such
landscaping may be counted in fulfilling the requirements of (a).
FINDING: Each parcel (Parcels 1 & 2) with the proposed RCF's will have 57
percent landscaping coverage as a result of this development. Each ReF is to have
11 bedrooms, or living units, requiring a total landscape area of 1,400 sq. ft. (300
+ [11 x 100]). Parcels 1 & 2 will each be 24,597 sq. ft. in size, and 57 percent of this
area greatly exceeds the 1,400 sq. ft. minimum landscaping area. The yards
adjacent to N. Cascade Drive are to be completely landscaped, except for the
access drives. The site plan satisfies the landscaping requirements in the RM
District.

will be 24,597 sq. ft. in size, exceeding the minimum lot size. The site plan complies
with this criterion.
(c) No main building or group of main buildings shall occupy more than
30 percent of the lot area....
FINDING: Each of the RCF's will be 5,628 square feet in size, occupying 23
percent of the parcels on which they will be constructed (5,628 I 24,597 = 22.8).
The applicant has shown compliance with the above subsection.
(d) Every lot in an RM District shall have a minimum width of 60 feet at
the building line. The minimum lot area requirements for buildings
other than dwellings shall be of 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: Each of the proposed three parcels has a minimum frontage and building
line width of 123 feet, and the smallest of the parcels (Parcels 1 & 2) will be 24,597
square feet. The proposed development complies with the minimum lot size and
width requirements.

1. At least 20% of the total development area shall be landscaped.
FINDING: The applicant's landscaping plan shows that 57 percent of each parcel
on which the RCF's are to be constructed will be landscaped. The applicant has
exceeded this criteria.
2. Landscape strip adjacent to a street shall be at least 5 feet in width.
FINDING: The applicant shows a landscaped strip adjacent to N. Cascade Drive
that vastly exceeds 5 feet in width. The front yard landscape area is approximately
85 feet in width. The applicant has shown compliance with this approval criterion.
(b) Interior landscaping shall be at least 18% of the total parcel area.
FINDING: The applicant has exceeded this requirement as shown on the submitted
landscaping plan. Interior landscaping makes up approximately 50 percent of the
total area of both Parcels 1 and 2.
3. Number of required trees shall be determined in the following way:
a) Frontage street landscaping:
Large trees - 2 per 100 feet
Medium trees - 3 per 100 feet
Small trees - 4 per 100 feet
FINDING: The landscape plan does not show the required trees along the frontage
of each parcel to be developed. A condition of approval requires trees to be planted
along N. Cascade Drive, in front of Parcels 1 & 2, in compliance with the above
spacing and tree size standards. The condition further states that the species of
trees shall be approved by the Planning Director prior to issuance of building
permits on the site. Compliance with the condition of approval will assure the
development satisfies this criterion.
b) Interior landscaping:
At least 8 trees per 1 ac of the total development area (exclusive of the
number of trees required for the frontage strip) shall be installed and
include the following number of trees in the parking areas:
1 small tree for each 5 parking stalls
1 medium tree for each 10 parking stalls
Page 25 - COUNCIL BILL NO.
ORDINANCE NO.
.
1 large tree for each 14 parking stalls
FINDING: The landscape plan indicates that two species of small trees and one
species of large trees are to be planted on the portion of the site to be developed.
Each parcel with the RCF's is approximately ~ acres in size, and each will consist
of six off-street parking stalls. Each parcel has at least three large trees and six
small trees. The site plan exceeds the minimum amount of interior trees required.
4. Buffering: where the proposed multi-family residential development abuts:
a) single family residential zone - 15 foot planting strip and a 7 foot wall
is required.
FINDING: As previously discussed, the project has been conditioned to comply with
the above standards. A solid masonry wall is required for the fence. Satisfying the
condition of approval will assure compliance with this criterion.
b) commercial zone - 10 foot planting strip and a 7 foot wall is required.
FINDING: A planting strip exceeding 10 feet is provided on the site plan between
the subject development and the CO property to the north. The site plan indicates
that a 7 foot fence is proposed, but does not specify that it is a wall. A condition of
approval requires that this fence shall be a 7 -foot masonry wall. Satisfying the
condition of approval will assure compliance with this criterion.
c. Woodburn Access Management Ordinance
FINDING: N. Cascade Drive (Hwy 214 to W. Hayes) is classified as an access
street. This Access Management Ordinance requires the driveway spacing to be
10 feet along access streets. The proposed driveway accesses on Parcels 1 & 2
exceed this distance from each other and from the adjacent driveways. The
spacing distance of the new driveways (serving Parcels 1 & 2) from each other will
be approximately 170 feet, and each of the new driveways from adjacent driveways
exceeds 80 feet in spacing distance. The development proposal is in compliance
with this Ordinance.
D. Woodburn Transportation System Plan
FINDING: The subject site has access toN. Cascade Drive, Hwy 214, and W.
Hayes Street. These are existing improved streets. A trip generation study was
conducted for the RCF's on Parcels 1 & 2. Parcel 3 was included in the trip
generation study based on its potential use under RM zoning. The proposed RCF's
Page 26 - COUNCIL BILL NO.

,
are projected to generate approximately 32 trips per day, and the potential use of
Parcel 3 under RM zoning is projected to generate an additional 99 trips per day for
a total of 131 trips per day for the entire subject site. The study concluded that the
development will not have any significant impact over current conditions of the
street system, and that all intersections within the area will operate at acceptable
levels of service during peak hours. No analysis was done to show how higher
intensity uses on the site would impact the transportation system.
E. Woodburn Sign Ordinance
FINDING: The applicant is not proposing any signage as part of this development
application. Any future signs will be required to have sign permit approval prior to
their placement.
PARTITION 01-07
A. Woodburn Zoning Ordinance
1. Chapter 22. RS - Single Family Residential District
Section 22.080. Lot Area and Width.
FINDING: As mentioned, the applicant has proposed to change the zone from RS
to RM on the entire subject property (proposed Parcels 1, 2, & 3). However, the
City Council has concluded that Parcel 3 shall retain its existing RS zoning. No
development or site plan proposal has been made on Parcel 3, the most southerly
of the proposed parcels. Parcel 3 will exceed the minimum width of 60 feet and the
minimum size of 6,000 sq. ft. required in the RS District. The partitioning of the site
will remove the nonconforming situation of two single-family dwellings on one RS
zoned property. A condition of approval requires the property owner to remove the
single-family home on the northern portion of the site before recording the partition
plat because this structure would be located on the new property line between
Parcels 1 and 2.
2. Chapter 26. RM - Multiple Family Residential District
FINDING: The applicant requested the entire property to be rezoned from RS to
