Ord 2247 - Amend Comp Plan Pks COUNCIL BILL NO. 2005 ORDINANCE NO. 2247 AN ORDINANCE MAKING TEXTUAL AMENDMENTS TO THE WOODBURN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; ADOPTING A PARKS AND RECREATION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. WHEREAS, the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan has been adopted by the City and acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC); and WHEREAS, the City is currently in the process of Periodic Review, and WHEREAS, Task NO.5 of the City's Periodic Review Work Program states that the Recreation, Parks and Open Space Plan will be updated, and WHEREAS, the passage of this ordinance represents completion of Task No. 5; and WHEREAS, certain textual amendments to the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan regarding open space and parks have been proposed; and WHEREAS, a Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update has been prepared; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission and City Council have conducted public hearings on the proposed textual amendments and Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update; and WHEREAS, notice of the amendments has been forwarded by the City to the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) as provided by state law; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF WOODBURN ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City of Woodburn Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Element, IV Existing Land Uses, E. Open Space/Parks, is hereby amended to read as follows: There are approximately 474 acres of Open Space and Parks within the city and UGB. A majority of the Open Space in the planning area is private land. Development of this private land is limited because it is in the floodplain area. The Park Plan has inventoried existing park resources and has identified the need and vicinity for three additional neighborhood parks. The Plan also identifies Page 1 - COUNCIL BILL NO. 2005 ORDINANCE NO. 2247 , 1"""-" -, existing floodplain along Mill Creek, Senecal Creek and Goose Creek for greenways to be preserved as a natural greenway and transportation corridor as encouraged by Policy L-l, of Volume I of the Comprehensive Plan. Systems Development Charges have assisted with funding for the first phase of development for Centennial Park located on Parr Road in South Woodburn. The first phase was completed in 1999 with two more phases planned for completion by 2006. City Ordinance #1908 establishes a Tree Ordinance for inventory, preservation and replacement of public and private trees. This effort resulted in W oodbum gaining recognition as a "Tree City, USA", by the National Arbor Day Foundation in years, 1985, 1986, and 1987. In 1998, the City adopted a program to assist homeowners with repair, removal and replacement of trees within the public right- of-way. Section 2. The City of Woodburn Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Element, X The Land Use Plan, F. Open Space/Parks, is hereby amended to read as follows: Open space lands are indicated for three new 3-5 acre neighborhood parks. The vicinities for these parks include east ofl-5, north of Parr Road and south of Hayes; another south of Cleveland, east of Union Pacific mainline/Boones Ferry, and west ofHwy. 99E; and another east ofHwy. 99E, south of Blaine and north of Hwy.211. Additionally, the floodplain areas of the City are indicated for open space. This does not mean that the City will necessarily own these lands, however, any development scheme should leave these floodplain lands as open and undeveloped with structures. In 1998, the City annexed the 25 acre Centennial Park site located south of Parr Road. In 1999, the City completed Phase 1 of the park's development including two soccer fields, a softball/baseball field and two playgrounds. Future phases, projected for completion in 2006, will construct three additional softball/baseball fields, picnic and concession facilities, athletic field lighting and hard court play surfaces. The other open space uses such as floodplain areas could serve as transportation routes for pedestrian traffic, golf carts and bicycle paths. There would have to be a concerted effort by the city to acquire R.O.W. easements through private properties to establish these routes. Section 3. The City of Woodburn Comprehensive Plan, Land Use element, IX Goals and Policies, is hereby amended to add a new subsection "R. Recreation and Parks Goals and Page 2 - COUNCIL BILL NO. 2005 ORDINANCE NO. 2247 ....._,.. _.. ...,_....,..,'"'.....<..__,,_.'~_.'d___...~ . .......or--' Policies" which shall read as follows: R. Recreation and Parks Goals and Policies Goal R-l. It is the goal of the City to provide adequate parks, recreation facilities, and open space to maintain Woodburn's livability and managed growth, and to provide social, economic and environmental benefits to individuals, families and the community. R-2. Downtown Woodburn should remain a centerpiece of activity, culture, and commerce within the City. Library Park, Woodburn Aquatic Center, Settlemier Park, the Woodburn World's Berry Center Museum, and Locomotive Park should be used as catalysts for downtown revitalization. Policies R-l-l. R-I-2. R-I-3. R-1-4. The City will insure that sufficient land is made available for parks and open spaces by adopting the system of facility types and standards in the 1999 Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan including: Mini-Parks; Neighborhood/School Parks; Community Parks; Municipal Parks; Greenways, Open Space, Trails and Pathways; and Cultural Resources and/or Special Use ParkslFacilities. The City will insure the most efficient and effective means of providing sufficient land for neighborhood parks by adopting a neighborhood/school park concept including joint land acquisition and development, thereby strengthening the existing partnership between the City and the Woodburn School District. Where neighborhood/school parks are not feasible, it is the policy of the City to acquire neighborhood parks, when practicable, through the development review process. As a supplement to the City's neighborhood parks, it is the policy of the City to encourage new subdivisions to provide mini-parks, meeting City approved standards. The city shall insure that the excessive maintenance impacts of mini-parks are avoided by requiring ownership to be retained by the developer or a homeowner association, with maintenance provided by the developer, the homeowner association, or by the City through a maintenance LID. These facilities may not be used to reduce the Page 3 - COUNCIL BILL NO. 2005 ORDINANCE NO. 2247 ...-.,.~ .. --., ..-....'.'---- R-I-5. R-I-6. R-I-7. R-I-8.

It is the policy of the City to manage Mill Creek, Goose Creek and Senecal Creek corridors as public greenways and pathways; multiple functions will include open space and habitat preservation, flood control, cycling and walking on all-weather pathways, nature recreation and education, and limited playground activities where there is a deficiency of neighborhood parks. To provide for a continuous public greenway and pathway system, it is the policy of the City to acquire privately-owned segments along Mill Creek, Goose Creek, and Senecal Creek and other stream corridors including the west tributary from Settlemier Park to Parr Road. It is the policy of the City to seek dedication of floodplains and creek corridors for natural areas, neighborhood recreation areas, open space and transportation. To insure adequate maintenance of the City's parks, recreation, and open space facilities, the City will prepare comprehensive management plans including maintenance management standards for each facility. It is the policy of the City to require multi-family housing projects which exceed four (4) units to provide basic neighborhood park and playground facilities, based on development standards of the Recreation and Parks Department. Because recreation participation preferences and interests vary among employment ethnic, social, and cultural groups, it is the policy of the City to exercise special sensitivity in selecting the types of recreation programs it offers, and in the design and management of parks, recreation and open space facilities. Section 4. The Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update, affixed hereto as Attachment "A" and incorporated herein, is hereby adopted. Section 5. The textual amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and the adoption of the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update is justified by the legislative findings which are affixed as Attachment "B" and, by this reference, incorporated herein. Section 6. This ordinance being necessary for the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is declared to exist and this ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage by the Council and approval by the Mayor.

The Woodburn Comprehensive Plan -- Woodburn 2014, along with the Oregon Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines (1995), provide the primary framework for this Plan update. The planning service area includes both the current City limits and unincorporated lands within the Urban Growth Boundary. The planning time horizon is 1999 - 2020. The City currently owns 87.02 acres of land designated as parks and recreation facilities, and the Woodburn School District has 114.8 acres of public school facilities. For the most part, all school campuses are large enough to provide community recreation facilities such as sports fields and playgrounds, and are either currently used for or have the potential for use as neighborhood/ school park facilities. This Plan is designed to meet population and employment needs based on the application of specific Level of Service (LOS) Standards, and to address other needs identified by the community. Facility types and minimum standards for park size, service area, and acreage per population/ employment have been developed to insure that residents and employees are adequately served by parks and recreation facilities. The LOS Standards were developed using recently updated guidelines of the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRP A) in it publication Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Greenway Guidelines (1996). Unlike previous NRPA publications which provided specific LOS Standards for facilities (i.e., a Neighborhood Parks LOS Standard of 5.0 acres per 1,000 persons, etc.), the current NRP A Guidelines suggest the development and adoption of local LOS Standards for the specific types of facilities important to the local community, and emphasize that Levels of Service should: 1) be practicable and achievable, 2) provide for an equitable allocation of park and recreation resources throughout the community, and 3) reflect the real time demand of citizens. The current NRPA Guidelines also introduced the classification "School-Park", recognizing that public school facilities are routinely used for for parks and recreation activities. A Capital Improvements Plan which identifies $10,815,500 in projects designed to repair existing facilities and provide new facilities to meet LOS Standards for population and employment growth through the year 2020 is included as an appendix to the Plan.

INTRODUCTION AND PLANNING FRAMEWORK In January 1997, the City of Woodburn hired Don Ganer & Associates, working in collaboration with David Reed, Ph.D., to update the City's Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. The Woodburn Comprehensive Plan --Woodburn 2014, was last amended in March 1996 and, along with the Oregon Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines (1995), provides the primary framework for this Plan update. The plan- ning service area includes both the current City limits and unincorporated lands with- in the Urban Growth Boundary. The plan- ning time horizon is 1999 - 2020. 1.1 Comprehensive Plan Goals and Po- licies Woodburn 2014 includes many goals and policies related to parks, recreation and open space. They provide the framework for the development of this plan and in- clude the following: 1.1.1 Residential Use A-I. The neighborhood should provide a focus and identity within the community and should have a community facility, such as a school, park, or privately owned community facility to allow for interaction within the neighborhood. Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 Y' -I ATTAC1ENT....&- -- Page of --59 A-3. Development should promote, through the use of moderate density standards and creative design, a feeling of openness and spaciousness with sufficient landscape area and open space to create a pleasant living environment. 1.1.2 Commercial Land Development Policy B-5. Downtown redevelopment should be emphasized and the City should in its ac- tions, encourage new commercial development to locate downtown when appropriate. 1.1.3 Annexation Policy 0-1. While it is important that enough land is available for the necessary development anticipated in the City of Woodburn, it is also essential to prevent too much land being in- cluded in the city limits as this leads to ineffi- cient, sprawling development. 1.1.4 Public Services Goal H-2. (Provide) detention systems for flood water and storm drain runoff so as not to overburden the drainage systems of the City. Policy H-l. It is the policy of the City to pro- vide facilities at the least long range cost to the City. Policy H-6. To insure that the growth does not increase the cost to the present City residents, the City's policy should insure that new devel- opment pay for any additional services they de- mand. page 1 Policy H-7. It shall be the policy of the City to maintain a working Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) which shall detail a set of public facility projects, their costs, and funding for a six year period, and for the logical extension of public facilities over a projected twenty year period. 1.1.5 Transportation Policy 1-1-2. Develop a transportation system that interconnects residential areas with em- ployment centers, commercial areas, schools, parks, churches and regional transportation networks. Policy 1-2-2. Develop a bikeway and pedestrian system which will provide routes connecting residential areas to school, parks, places of em- ployment and commercial areas Goal 1-4. To develop an area-wide bicycle and pedestrian plan. Policy 1-4-1. To make implementation of the ar- ea-wide bicycle and pedestrian plan a coopera- tive effort between the City of Woodburn and all other governmental jurisdictions within the area. Policy [-4-2. To develop a comprehensive bicy- cle and pedestrian system including both on- street and off-street routes, which make pedes- trian activity and bicycle riding feasible, safe and enjoyable as alternative modes of transpor- tation in the area. Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 .'-,~ . ,"', ..wu,.'.,.,",_~","_..._.'~~._...~=--,",...._ "'1>" '"1 ATTAC~ENT Aq -, Page of~ Policy 1-4-5. To finance the bicycle and pedes- trian system as much as possible with non-local funds. Policy 1-4-6. To insure that all new commer- cial, industrial, institutional, residential and re- creation developments consider the elements contained with the bicycle and pedestrian plan. Policy 1-5-4. Establish a bicycle and pedestrian safety plan by implementing an area wide edu- cational and recreational program oriented to- ward teaching bicycle and pedestrian safety. Policy 1-6-1. Provide bicycle and pedestrian routes within all state, regional and local parks and recreation areas by applying for grant as- sistance to support the development of bicycle and pedestrian systems in parks and open space areas. Policy 1-6-2. Plan off-street routes along creeks and establish routes which lead to local and re- gional open space areas. Establish local loop routes which take advantage of local amenities and historical areas. 1.1.6 Growth and Urbanization Policies Policy K-3. The City's public facilities now be- ing built are to be paid for by the system devel- opment charges from the anticipated growth. page 2 Policy K-10. The City and County shall strive to enhance the livability of the urban growth area and to promote logical and orderly develop- ment therein in a cost effective manner. 1.1.7 Natural and Cultural Resources Goal L-1. It is the City's goal to preserve the natural resources in the City including the unique stands of trees, the scenic areas within the City, and the floodway and floodplain. Goal L-2. It is the City's goal to preserve its unique and historically significant cultural and historical resources. Policy L-2. Floodplain should be set aside for city greenways and left in a natural state as much as possible. This would prevent building in the floodplain and provide a natural green- way throughout the City. Policy L-3. Natural and scenic areas remaining in the City should be preserved. 1.1.8 Downtown Development Policy N-2-1. The Central Business District (CBD) should continue to be the locale for City- wide activities (e.g., spring clean-up, crazy days, farm fest, fiesta days, etc.). Goal N-3. Improve open space within the Cen- tral Business District (CBD). Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 .. ~.1"---''''''''-~_'''_'-''''''..h.''''''_~_~__ ATTACHMENT A Page -L of ,A,7 Policy N-3-1. Improve Library Park for year- round use, by adding lighting, landscaping, wall graphics, information station, gazebo, etc. Library Park represents downtown's only area of usable open space. By improving it and mak- ing it more usable, more people will frequent the downtown area. ---. Policy N-3-4. Whenever possible, proposed im- provements to buildings and/or open space should remain in general harmony with the concepts portrayed in the Chemeketa Commun- ity College drawings. 1.2 Transportation and Stormwater Plans The Woodburn Transportation System Plan, which is an amendment to Woodburn 2014, also includes goals and policies relat- ed to parks, recreation and open space: Goal 1, Policy 4. Develop a bikeway system which will provide routes and facilities to allow bicyclists to travel from residential areas to schools, parks, places of employment and com- mercial areas. Off-street facilities in City greenway/park areas will be identified. Insure all new collector and arterial streets are con- structed with bike lanes. page 3 Goal 1, Policy 5. Identify sidewalk and off- street pathway improvements to improve pedes- trian mobility within neighborhoods and bet- ween residential areas and schools, parks, places of employment and commercial areas. Insure all new collector and arterial streets are con- structed with sidewalks. Goal 2. Develop a street system which will handle projected year 2015 traffic demands in the Woodburn area, and interconnects residen- tial areas with employment centers, schools, parks, churches and regional transportation facilities. Goal 3, Policy 2. Develop a plan for improving pedestrian and bicycle safety for travel to/from local schools. The plan recommends a seven mile off- street pathway system along the Mill Creek and Goose Creek corridors to complement an expanded on-street system of sidewalks and bicycle lanes. The Plan notes that off- street pathways will not only enhance bi- cycle and pedestrian access to the green- way corridors, but will also provide more direct and safer access to schools, most of which are located next to or in close prox- imity to the creek corridors. The off-street system will also allow cyclists to travel off the main roadways to gain access to recrea- tional, commercial and employment cen- ters in Woodburn.

The City of Woodburn has also drafted new stormwater management policies, for the purpose of addressing new water quali- ty standards in urban areas. 1.3 SCORP The Oregon Parks and Recreation Depart- ment is responsible for preparing a State- wide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP), updated every five years. In 1993, a statewide survey of recreation par- ticipation was conducted for the mid Willa- mette region, including Marion County and five other counties. These survey con- clusions are relevant to the Woodburn Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan: . sports and fitness programs are the most popular activities in which children participate in (57%), followed by swim- ming instruction (39%), summer day camps (16%), and arts and crafts programs (10% ). . adult arts and crafts programs are not popular, but community art/craft festi- vals and exhibits have high community participation. page 4 . communities have high participation in park walking/running, picnicking, trail use including biking, and sports and games; more opportunities are warranted for activities associated with nature, wildlife, and botanical/historical exhibits; swim- ming, and cultural events. . overall, community cultural events ap- pear important for many Oregonians in the mid-Willamette region, . smaller communities have higher par- ticipation rates than larger communi- ties. . about 1/2 of the respondents reported it would be unfair to charge fees for re- creation activities which are currently free; only 22% thought raising existing fees would be unfair. · households with children are consist- ently more likely to encounter barriers to participation, including cost and lack of time. 1.4 Community Development and Image Parks and Recreation facilities and pro- grams play an important role in the com- munity's image. Woodburn's centrally lo- cated parks, historic and cultural resources, and open space areas have potential for helping revitalize the downtown area.

COMMUNITY PROFILE 2.1 Location and Physical Setting Woodburn is located in Marion County in the Willamette Valley, 17 miles north of Sa- lem and 30 miles south of Portland. Wood- burn is one of the earliest Oregon pioneer- ing communities, strongly anchored in a very productive agricultural area. It has excellent transportation linkages, located on Interstate 5 and State Highway 99E, and on State Highway 214. Two railroads serve the community -- the Southern Pacific Rail- road around which Woodburn was origi- nally built, and the Burlington Northern Railroad which is west of the present City limits. Woodburn is located in a flat area of the Willamette Valley known as the French Prairie. The topography varies approx- imately 40 feet from the highest point in West Woodburn, to the lowest point where Mill Creek leaves the northern City limits. Portions of Mill Creek provide major topo- graphic relief. Mill Creek is the major drainage system for the City, and Senecal Creek extends through the western City limits. For the most part, unstable soils oc- cur around Mill Creek and floodplain ar- eas. On clear days, views of Mt. Hood and the Cascade Mountains are possible from some vantage points of the City.

The 1998 estimated population was 16,585 and the official es- timate for resident population in the year 2020 is 26,290 persons. The estimated cur- rent (1999) population is 16,936, based on the average annual compound growth rate of 2.12% estimated by E.D. Hovee & Com- pany (report dated June 28, 1999). As with many growing communities, Woodburn's population profile and the needs of its residents are constantly in flux. Not only did the population increase by over 126% between 1970 and 1994, but the composition of the community also changed significantly. Some notable popu- lation characteristics that are important for parks and recreation are: . While declining from 32.8% of total population in 1970 to 23.2% in 1994, Woodburn's percentage of persons over 65 years of age still continues to be well above that of Marion County (13.9%) and the State of Oregon (13.7%). . Children and seniors, who characteristi- cally participate in recreation activities at high rates, total 56% of the popula- tion. . Young families (25 to 35 years old) with children constituted 23.2% of the City's total population in 1994. page 6 Ill. · Family size has increased from an aver- age of 2.7 persons per household in 1970 to 2.83 in 1994. . Woodburn is ethnically diverse and in- cludes large Latino (28% of population) and Russian origin (10% of population) communities. · 5.7% of Woodburn's population is esti- mated to have mobility impairments, and require barrier free access to public parks, recreation facilities, and pro- grams. · Approximately 62% of Woodburn's population is considered low to moder- ate income (below approximately $16,000). 57% of school aged children are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. · Over 25% of the housing stock in Woodburn is multi-family housing, and few of these developments have play- grounds or sufficient open space to meet the recreational needs of residents. . Woodburn's 1991 crime index was the second highest for cities of its size in the region, supporting the need for recrea- tional crime prevention programs. 2.3 Existing Land Use and Growth According to a January 1996 Land Use In- ventory, a total of 4,109 acres of land is in- cluded in the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), with designated uses comprising these percentages: Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 ..,...-.' .-.--..---.'''--' ._...~--........-.,.~,...._..=~~-_.~~"""...............~._..~""'-,"+.... ._.~---"_.....'---~,,-,,---~~ Residential Industrial Commercial Roads/ ROW Parks I Open Space Public ATTACHMENT...LJ .~. . Page JJL.. of ~ - 50% 14% 12% 12% 9% 3% A significant portion of open space land consists of private golf courses and private open space in the floodplains along Mill Creek and Senecal Creek. All existing floodplains have been designated as "City Greenway" in the Woodburn Comprehen- sive Land Use Plan. Excluding parks and open space, approx- imately 49% of Woodburn is comprised of lands considered "developed." The peri- odic review process will determine if there is sufficient land for industrial, commercial and residential development; and for pub- lic use including parks and open space. 2.3.1 Residential Density The amount of land needed for parks and open space may be influenced by decisions related to residential density. High density residential land is already the second lar- gest land use in the UGB, with multi-family housing distributed throughout the com- munity. Residential lands currently have densities of between 6 and 25 dwelling units per acre, but the Comprehensive Plan indicates continued growth in single family development, with a need for a decrease in minimum lot sizes to increase densities. page 7 2.3.2 Historic District Many of the City's most historic buildings are located in the downtown area, built ar- ound the turn of the century or shortly thereafter. This area has been designated as a local Historic District. With development of competing commer- cial areas along Highway 99E and the 1-5 Interchange, a lack of business activity has created a deterioration in condition and public image of downtown. An overall renovation and beautification of this com- mercial area is encouraged by the City, built around an historic theme. Parks and recreation programs may also aid in the re- vitalization process. 2.3.3 Growth Woodburn 2014 describes the City's goal for growth and development to be one of "remaining as a redistribution center for outlying areas of the Valley," and "expansion of the City in an orderly and ef- ficient manner to aid in giving the popula- tion the commerce and industry it has al- ways historically desired." Results of a 1996 community survey also suggest that Woodburn residents have a concern for quality of life issues, balanced growth, transportation, and preservation of farm land near the City. Since 1994, nine subdivisions have been ap- proved and over 600 lots have been platted. The largest growth has occurred near the Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 ATTACH.MENT ~- Page..LL of ~ Woodburn High School and the new pri- vate Tukwila Golf Course built by the Ore- gon Golf Association. Some of the new housing developments have provided pri- vate or public recreation amenities such as fitness facilities, greenway areas, swim- ming pools, sports courts and playgrounds; but an absence of park requirements and standards has resulted in missed opportu- nities and acceptance of facilities in inap- propriate locations. Employment in the City has more than doubled during the 1990's, growing from an estimated 3,335 jobs in 1990 to 7,051 in 1999. By 2020, more than 2,000 additional jobs are expected to be added, for a total of 9,058. Employment impacts the need for municipal parks, community parks, greenways/ open space, and other com- munity facilities which are used by both residents and employees. An analysis of employment impacts was performed to consider factors related to employee use of facilities. Based on this analysis, it is esti- mated that the impact of each employee on the need for municipal parks, community parks, greenway / open space, and cultural resource/ special use facilities is equivalent to 8.3% of the impact of each resident. This means that the roughly 2,007 new em- ployees expected between 1999 and 2020 will have an impact equivalent to 167 new residents. page 8 3. PARKS, OPEN SPACE, AND RECREA nON RESOURCES 3.1 Greenways and Open Space Woodburn and its urban growth boundary are located on a sensitive underground aquifer. The current periodic review pro- cess will update the Woodburn Compre- hensive Plan to include a special study of wetlands and natural resources, which will provide more detailed information on the location and significance of wetlands and riparian areas in the City. The floodplains of Mill Creek, Goose Creek and Senecal Creek represent the most sig- nificant open space resources in W 000- bum. Mill Creek has been channeled, and in two locations constricted by urban de- velopment; but for the most part, broad floodplains and occasional high quality vegetation structure provide attractive and natural-like greenway areas. The Mill Creek drainage system represents the major structure for public open space in the community, with potential for a con- nected system of green ways, linear parks and recreation opportunities; and off-street bikeways and pathways that, as recom- mended in the City's Transportation Sys- tem Plan, could become an integral part of the City's transportation system. Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 ATTACHMENT--Li--- Page ~ of -1:i:1.. The City has already designated 16.33 acres of City-owned greenway and open space along the Mill Creek corridor as identified park land (Hermanson I, II, III, and Wyffle parks). The locations of these facilities are identified on Map A - Existing Parks and Re- creation Facilities (page 13). These facilities have had minimal development, consisting primarily of playground equipment and signage. A pond adjacent to the Meadow Park subdivision provides an amenity and a fish and wildlife habitat opportunity in the south Mill Creek corridor. Railroad tracks fragment the creek corridor in three locations: at Cleveland Street, east of Set- tlemier Park, and at Front Street. Highway 214 also disconnects the creek near the Woodburn High School. An area north of Highway 214 along Mill Creek has been identified as jurisdictional wetland by the u.s. Army Corps of En- gineers. This area extends to the northern Urban Growth Boundary. Recently, bones of an ancient land mammal were discov- ered along Mill Creek near Woodburn High School. Scientific studies indicate this may be one of the most significant pale- oarchaeological finds in the Pacific North- west. Scientists have dubbed the project "Mammoth Park." page 9 The western part of Goose Creek has been ditched, has little riparian vegetation, and is impacted by adjacent urban develop- ment. The remaining corridor provides natural-like open space and supports a pri- vate fitness course and residential green- way as a part of the Tukwila subdivision. Senecal Creek is largely undisturbed with an extensive riparian forest area, and ranks high as a significant wildlife habitat and wetland area. The City is committed to preserving the creek corridors as greenways left in a natu- ral state. Unlike urbanized creeks in larger cities, for the most part, Woodbum's creek corridors represent high quality greenways and have not been severely impacted by urban development. Therefore, the poten- tial for public open space and off-street pathways is excellent. 3.2. Public Parks and Recreation Facilities The City currently owns 87.02 acres of land designated as parks and recreation facili- ties. In addition to the 16.33 acres of green- way along Mill Creek, the City's inventory includes 40.64 acres of developed parks, cultural resource facilities, and special use facilities, and a 24.96 acre municipal park which is currently under development (Centennial Park).

NEEDS ASSESSMENT The City's parks and recreation facility and program needs were identified using the planning framework guidelines, policies, and goals identified in Section 1; analysis of responses to a community needs assess- ment survey; Level of Service (LOS) analy- sis, and the results of a physical inspection of all existing facilities. 4.1 Facilities Level of Service One method of assessing need is to review the community's Level of Service (LOS) for parks and recreation facilities, as measured by acres of public space used for parks and recreation activities. The LOS for Wood- burn can be compared with adopted stan- dards, if any, and/ or with the LOS of other communities. The City has not previously adopted LOS standards for parks and re- creation facilities, so a comparison with other communities provides an idea of how well the City is doing at providing parks and recreation facilities. Following are acreage and LOS comparisons for Wood- burn and three other area communities in- cluding Newberg (Chehalem Parks and Re- creation District), Oregon City, and Canby. The City's municipal parks, community parks, greenway I open space, and cultural resource/ special use facilities serve both population and employment needs, so em- ployment impacts on these facilities must Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 ~ ".._._~ -"'--y---.-.--.- ." -...- ..--., .. .-.-. ..--.-----.---.

The report also estimated that annual employment growth will increase by 2.9% per year between 1995 and 2000. Based on these estimates and the assumption that employment within the Woodburn City limits comprises 85% of total employment within the Woodburn Zip Code (97071), 1999 employment within Woodburn is esti- mated to total 7,051 jobs. An analysis of employment impacts was performed to consider factors related to employee use of facilities. Based on this analysis, it is estimated that the impact of each employee on the need for municipal parks, community parks, greenway I open space, and cultural resource/special use facilities is equivalent to 8.3% of the impact of each resident. This means that the 7,051 estimated current employees have about the same impact as 585 residents.

LOS 11.8 16.8 4.2 Needs Assessment Survey In March 1997, a bilingual (English and Spanish) public opinion survey instrument was mailed to 800 randomly selected resi- dential addresses in the City of Woodburn. 68 of the survey instruments were returned by the U.s. Postal Service undelivered. From the 732 that were delivered, 187 com- pleted surveys were returned, for a re- sponse rate of 25.5%. A copy of the survey instrument, and post-stratified results for each survey question are included in Ap- pendix B. A large proportion (47%) of survey re- spondent households were aged 65 and older with no children under 18; 25% of the respondent households included child- ren under the age of 18. 16.6% of respondents were Latino, 78.1% were non-Latino white, and 5.3% were of another race or ethnic origin.

ATTACHMENT -4- -- page..J..1L of ~ 26.7% of respondents had total household incomes of more than $40,000 in 1996, 48.9% had incomes of between $20,000 and $40,000, and 24.6% had total incomes of less than $20,000. Because of the large proportion of survey respondents aged 65 years and older, the survey results, while providing valuable information, may not be representative of or accurately reflect the opinions of the community as a whole. 4.2.1 Activities, Interests and Facility Use · parks and playgrounds are the most fre- quently used facilities, with highest use by Latino households and households with children, and lowest use by re- tirees. · picnicking is more popular for Latino households than for the general popula- tion, with 90.3% of Latino respondents indicating they "often" or "sometimes" go picnicking, versus 41.9% of all re- spondents with an opinion. . the Aquatics Center is used "often" or "sometimes" by 71.7% of respondent households with children, but "never" by 74.1% of retirees; this suggests op- portunities to market the aquatics cen- ter for water fitness and exercise pro- grams aimed at retirees. · Even though the City has two private golf course communities, 65.8% of re- tirees and 69.7% of all respondents indi- cated they "never" play golf. page 15 4.2.2 Importance of Programs . All demographic groups rank teen pro- grams as their top priority, with the next five top priorities in the following group: children's swim lessons, youth soccer, youth basketball, youth after- school programs, and open swim. . Retired respondents rank the need for children's, youth, and teen programs above adult programs. . Latino respondents rank children's dance and art programs higher than does the general population, reflecting a cultural difference for this group for program preferences. 4.2.3 Facility Needs Preferences . The need for more walking trails and bicycle paths ranked high for all re- spondents, which is consistent with the high demand for walking, and which supports greenway I pathway expansion and improvements. . The need for more youth center facili- ties also ranked high for all respond- ents, which is consistent with the high level of support for youth and teen pro- grams. . There is high support by households with children and by Latinos for more playgrounds, parks, and picnic areas. These groups also support more soccer, basketball, and baseball I softball facili- ties. Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 ATTA~7~ENT~ Page... of . Most respondents want to keep aquatics the "same", indicating satisfaction with the new aquatics facility. 4.2.4 Facilities Maintenance and Repair . The new aquatics center received very high ratings from all groups on the level of maintenance and repair it receives. . While most facilities received a majority of "satisfactory" or "good" ratings, 25% or more of households with children and Latinos gave "poor" ratings for maintenance and repair of baseball I softball, soccer, basketball, and tennis facilities; and 25% or more of all respondents rated maintenance of parks, picnic areas, playgrounds, and the youth drop-in center as "poor". These ratings indicate a significant level of dissatisfaction with the current levels of maintenance and repair. 4.3 Physical Inspection of Facilities In February 1997, a physical inspection of all existing City parks and recreation facili- ties was conducted to determine the physi- cal condition and functionality of existing facilities. The inspection found that many of the City's existing facilities are below recommended standards and / or are in need of upgrade I repair or replacement. A summary of the physical condition of facili- ties is located in Table 1 (page 19). page 16 ....'.. ...*-.... ----T-.--.'.-.-.- ".-.....-~---,.- _.'0..4_..._.,....__,..___..""..____.__ .... 4.3.1 Parks, Open Space, and Greenways W oodbum parks are of marginal size and are generally in poor to good condition, primarily due to aging facilities and in- frastructure, much of which has reached the end of its useful life. Open space and greenways are more abundant, but offer limited recreational opportunities because they lack all-weather pathways and have poor drainage. Other major deficiencies in- clude: . Old and outdated playgrounds, most of which are inaccessible to the disabled and include potentially unsafe surfaces within fall zones · Lack of basic park furnishings, such as park benches, security lighting, and drinking fountains · Lack of irrigation systems to maintain healthy, resilient turf . Deteriorating roofs on structures Due to the current physical conditions, few parks are able to function at full capacity. As a consequence, the larger parks (Settlemier, Legion) tend to be overused, while the small parks are generally under- used. The greenways are especially under- utilized because there are no pathways to accommodate recreation activities such as walking for pleasure. Persons with disabilities cannot fully access most playgrounds and recreation facilities due to their age and outdated designs.

ATTACHMENT A Page ~ of 59 chitectural barriers also hinder participa- tion, notably steps to the tennis courts in Settlemier Park, and a lack of all-weather surface pathways throughout the system. While basketball is a very popular activity, only three parks (Heritage, Burlingham, and Settlemier) have outdoor basketball courts. Settlemier Park's is in poor repair and Heritage Park's is in water during much of the year, leaving Burlingham's as the only functional outdoor court. 4.3.2 Recreation Facilities With exception of the new Aquatics Center, the City's other major recreation facilities are in poor to good condition. Community Center - The Community Center (9,600 s.f.) is a small facility operating above its functional capacities, and was not designed to accommodate present uses. Deficiencies include: · No disabled access to the second floor · Unfinished and inadequate storage . Some portion of the floors is in need of replacement · Exterior replacement/ repair of south- facing roof and doors is needed · Limited off-street parking page 17 ..'" Legion Youth Center - Formerly a storage room for sports equipment, this (1,000 s.f.) facility was not designed to accommodate present uses. Given the crowded condi- tions at the Youth Center, it may be prud- ent to obtain the Fire Marshall's assessment of the building's functional capacity. Legion Field and Stadium - Potentially haz- ardous steps and rotting at the base of sup- port beams suggests the need for a struc- tural and electrical survey to determine physical condition. In addition, drainage is poor and contributes to sparse and un- healthy turf conditions. Woodburn Aquatics Center - Recently con- structed, this facility is in good to excellent condition. Noted deficiencies are primarily outside the building and include: . The Aquatics Center is oriented to Front Street, but is accessed by Oak Street . The Aquatics Center is not well con- nected and integrated with the remain- der of Settlemier Park . Additional landscaping would make the fenced exterior area more attractive for group use, as would a landscape buffer of the adjacent parking lot . The single family residence on Oak Street is impacted by the Aquatics Cen- ter and should be buffered . Signage is needed along Settlemier Road to direct visitors to the Aquatics Center Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 -'r.- ATTACHMENT ...L:l Page s6..L of -5-9 . There is no turnaround for patrons to exit the parking lot and the semce driveway should be upgraded 4.3.3 Cultural Resource Facilities The Woodburn World's Berry Center Mu- seum and Locomotive Park are two histori- cal features of the park system, operated in partnership with community organiza- tions. Woodburn World's Berry Center Museum - The museum, located in historic Bungalow Theater and the adjacent building, are part of the historical fabric of downtown Wood- burn. Improvements in accessibility, dis- plays, interpretation and infrastructure could make this facility more inviting, edu- cational, and enjoyable. Locomotive Park - The historic 1875 locomo- tive is surrounded by a chain link fence for security, but the locked gates and barbed wire create a harsh and unattractive envi- ronment. The proximity of this facility to the greenspace area under the water tower, and location in the downtown area present an opportunity to not only preserve his- tory, but to contribute to the attraction and viability of downtown. The setting could be made more user friendly if the parking lot and drainage were improved, and if park benches, picnic tables, and interpre- tive information related to the locomotive were made available. page 18 '11 ATTACHMENT A page~ of 59 ~ :.;21 .q< .....

PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM FRAMEWORK PLAN The Parks and Recreation System Frame- work Plan provides the foundation for de- velopment of Woodburn's parks and re- creation system. The components are de- signed to provide a level of service which will meet the needs of Woodburn residents during the planning period. 5.1 Findings, Issues, and Implications FINDING 1. Woodburn is in a major growth ~cle, and is expected to continue to increase in population and employment over the next several years. Policies of the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan call for or- derly, efficient and managed growth, en- hancement of community livability, and for new public facilities to be paid for by de- velopment fees. ISSUES AND IMPLICATIONS: . Adequate recreation, parks and open space are important for Woodburn's quality of life; meeting this goal will provide social, economic and environ- mental benefits to the community. . Land for parks and open spaces in new subdivisions and employment centers will be critical to meet future growth needs; both developer participation and land acquisition in advance of develop- Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 '_.-y--_ .___.,. ._.._. o. ._,_0...,.0._.... ~._._-,--_... .-..-- ATTACHMENT ~ Page::2.l- of 5 ment will become important methods for meeting future park and open space requirements. . Traffic and transportation is now and will continue to be increasingly import- ant community issues; safe off-street bi- cycle and pedestrian pathways will be needed for residents and employees. . Public greenways and linear parks in the creek corridors will be important to meet needs of under-served neighbor- hoods, accommodate urban infilling, and provide safe and convenient alter- natives to the automobile. · The City should develop existing, avail- able, and suitable City-owned land and acquire needed additional land to pro- vide parks where deficiencies exist and where residential and employment growth is planned, and to develop a connected system of trails and path- ways. . Facilities maintenance and repaIr re- quires standards and adequate funding to promote community livability and prevent deterioration of facilities. FINDING 2. Woodburn's population char- acteristics are unique: a substantial number of adults over 65 years of age and children below the age of 17; an increase in family size; a multi-ethnic community; a large number of families with low to moderate incomes; and a relatively large seasonal population. page 20 ''lI' ISSUES AND IMPLICATIONS: · There will continue to be a high de- mand for recreation opportunities in the community because young children and older populations generally require more recreation opportunities than the population at large, and larger families generally participle in recreation activi- ties at higher rates than smaller fa- milies. · Since parks and playgrounds are the most frequently used parks and recrea- tion facilities, the City should place a high priority on making repairs and im- provements to existing parks, renovat- ing playgrounds, and improving the levels of maintenance. · Affordable recreation opportunities will continue to be important because of a large number of residents with low in- comes; balancing tax subsidies with rev- enue enhancement strategies will be- come a major challenge to the City. · Recreation participation, customs, and interests vary among ethnic groups, re- quiring cultural sensitivity in program- ming and parks facility planning and design. Latino survey respondents ex- pressed preferences different from the larger community; in particular, this group makes high use of public parks and recreation facilities and programs, with a noted cultural preference for children's art and dance programs, and picnicking as the #1 activity.

Multifamily housing makes up over 25% of the housing stock: many of these developments lack access to open space or playground facilities; there is a trend toward a decrease in minimum lot sizes and increased densities in new single family developments. ISSUES AND IMPLICATIONS: · Future single and multi-family housing developments should be required to provide and maintain mini-parks and playground facilities. · Large single family subdivisions should be required to donate suitable land to the City for the development of neigh- borhood parks. FINDING 4. Compared with other cities of comparable size, Woodburn's crime index is relatively high. There is a shortage of sports fields and sports courts. and the dis- tribution of developed public parks and re- creation facilities does not provide eqUI- table access for many residents. ISSUES AND IMPLICATIONS: · Providing adequate facilities, construc- tive recreation alternatives for use of lei- sure time, community fitness and well- ness, and programs for "at-risk" youth are emerging as an important "preventive recreation" agenda. page 21 · There is high support among residents for children and youth programs and facilities, indicating an interest for keep- ing children and youth involved in con- structive activities. Maintenance and expansion of programs for teens and youth, such as children's swim lessons, youth soccer facilities and programs, basketball courts and programs, baseball/ softball facilities, youth after- school programs, open swim programs, and co-rec middle school programs should be pursued in cooperation with schools, other agencies, and non-profit organizations. · The functional capacities of both the community center and the youth center are inadequate to meet youth recreation needs. The City should expand I replace or duplicate the drop-in youth center; or perhaps integrate a senior center, youth I teen center and multi-purpose gym in a new community center facili- ty. · The amounts and locations of devel- oped parks acreage should be increased and distributed in a manner that provides a higher level of service and more equitable distribution of parks facilities for use by residents and em- ployees. Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 "~.-r ATTACHMENT -d- Page~ of ~ · While desirable as open space resourc- es, detention ponds and wetlands are inaccessible during periods of wet weather; therefore, active recreation facilities such as playgrounds, sports courts and playfields should not be lo- cated in detention ponds or wetlands. FINDING 5. The City is concerned about deterioration of downtown and is working to revitalize the area; policies include im- proving open space in the Central Business District (CBD). and improving Library Park as a catalyst for rejuvenation. ISSUES AND IMPLICA nONS: · Library Park, Woodburn Aquatics Cen- ter, Settlemier Park, the Woodburn World's Berry Center Museum, and the historic locomotive site could make major contributions to downtown revi- talization. · The Aquatics Center does not have good visibility and exposure, with no access to Front Street even though it is oriented to the corridor. · The Locomotive site lacks amenities and interpretive signage that could be improved. · The Woodburn World's Berry Center Museum requires basic infrastructure improvements, especially restroom ac- cessibility and alley enhancement. page 22 L " FINDING 6. Woodburn's drainage system is extensive, but other than a few public greenways and playgrounds, little public use is made of the creek corridors. Much of the system is owned by the City, and by plan policy is recognized as a natural greenway system and transportation cor- ridor. Although parts of the creek system have been channeled, there is excellent po- tential for accommodating non-vehicular transportation, and for natural greenways, linear parks, and playgrounds. ISSUES AND IMPLICATIONS: · A strategy is needed for making greater community use of the creek corridors for transportation, open space, educa- tion and recreation. · Funding is needed for land acquisition, pathways, and appropriate park and playground improvements. · Parts of the creek corridors function as wetlands, and therefore all-weather pathways and judicious selection and location of park improvements will be required to make these areas functional and accessible. · Most schools are located on or near Woodburn creeks, with excellent poten- tial for education and transportation. . New development should be encour- aged to dedicate floodplains and creek corridors for recreation, open space and transportation uses.

Extensive recreation facilities in Senior Estates, including the golf course and swimming pool, are available to mem- bers only, and do not meet needs of the total senior population in Woodburn. · As privately-owned swimming pools continue to be built, it is likely that there is and will continue to be direct competition between these facilities and the Woodburn Aquatics Center. . Private recreation facilities in new sub- divisions may meet needs of the imme- diate neighborhoods, but exclusive greenway access and locked facilities (e.g. tennis and basketball courts) raise issues with respect to public access to facilities, the provision of facilities for the broader community, and maintain- ing safe and secure facilities. page 23 FINDING 8. Woodburn school grounds and play facilities make a substantial con- tribution in providing neighborhood. and community recreation and open space op- portunities. A close working relationship exists between the School District and the City of Woodburn. ISSUES AND IMPLICA nONS: . The City of Woodburn and the School District may pursue joint acquisition, development, and use of future school sites and parks, which could strengthen the existing partnership. . The extensive creek system provides an opportunity for instruction in environ- mental studies and nature education , and could serve a dual purpose with community recreation and open space. 5.2 Goals and Policies The following parks and recreation goals and policies have been developed to ad- dress the findings identified in section 5.1. Goal 1. It is the goal of the City to provide ade- quate parks, recreation facilities, and open space to maintain Woodburn's livability and man- aged growth, and to provide social, economic and environmental benefits to individuals, fa- milies and the community. Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 ~ ___'Y-'. ~"_..,.. .' _H' ,..-.,--.. .'_H" ATTACHMENT~ pagedL of ~ Goal 2. Downtown Woodburn should remain a centerpiece of activity, culture, and commerce within the City. Library Park, Woodburn Aquatic Center, Settlemier Park, the Woodburn World's Berry Center Museum, and Locomo- tive Park should be used as catalysts for down- town revitalization. Policies Policy 1. The City will insure that sufficient land is made available for parks and open spaces by adopting the system of facility types and standards in the 1999 Parks and Recrea- tion Comprehensive Plan including: Mini- Parks; Neighborhood/School Parks; Community Parks; Municipal Parks; Greenways, Open Space, Trails and Pathways; and Cultural Re- sources and/or Special Use ParkslFacilities. Policy 2. The City will insure the most efficient and effective means of providing sufficient land for neighborhood parks by adopting a neighborhood/school park concept including joint land acquisition and development, thereby strengthening the existing partnership between the City and the Woodburn School District. Policy 3. Where neighborhood/school parks are not feasible, it is the policy of the City to ac- quire neighborhood parks, when practicable, through the development review process. page 24 I' Policy 4. As a supplement to the City's neigh- borhood parks, it is the policy of the City to en- courage new subdivisions to provide mini- parks, meeting City approved standards. The City shall insure that the excessive main- tenance impacts of mini-parks are avoided by requiring ownership to be retained by the devel- oper or a homeowner association, with main- tenance provided by the developer, the home- owner association, or by the City through a maintenance LID. These facilities may not be used to reduce the requirement for System De- velopment Charge payments. Policy 5. It is the policy of the City to manage Mill Creek, Goose Creek, and Senecal Creek corridors as public greenways and pathways; multiple functions will include open space and habitat preservation, flood control, cycling and walking on all-weather pathways, nature re- creation and education, and limited playground activities where there is a deficiency of neigh- borhood parks. Policy 6. To provide for a continuous public greenway and pathway system, it is the policy of the City to acquire privately-owned segments along Mill Creek, Goose Creek, and Senecal Creek, and other stream corridors including the west tributary from Settlemier Park to Parr Road. It is the policy of the City to seek dedica- tion of floodplains and creek corridors for natu- ral areas, neighborhood recreation areas, open space and transportation.

To insure adequate maintenance of the City's parks, recreation, and open space facilities, the City will prepare comprehensive management plans including maintenance management standards for each facility. Policy 8. It is the policy of the City to require multi-family housing projects which exceed four (4) units to provide basic neighborhood park and playground facilities, based on devel- opment standards of the Recreation and Parks Department. Policy 9. Because recreation participation pref- erences and interests vary among employment, ethnic, social, and cultural groups, it is the policy of the City to exercise special sensitivity in selecting the types of recreation programs it offers, and in the design and management of parks, recreation and open space facilities. 5.3 Facility Types and Standards The System Framework Plan is designed to provide facilities to achieve the City's parks and recreation goals and meet the needs of the City at the neighborhood, community, and City-wide levels. Facility types and minimum standards for park size, service area, and acreage per population have been developed to insure that residents and em- ployees are adequately served by parks and recreation facilities. page 25 Facility types include: · mini-park · neighborhood I school park · community park · municipal park · special usel cultural resource facility · greenways, open space, trails, and path- ways · core parks system Acreage standards for mini-park, and neighborhood/ school park apply only to residential development. Standards for all other facilities apply to both non-residen- tial and residential development, as these facilities benefit both residents and employers/ employees. Table 2 (pages 27 - 28) provides descriptions of each facility type, its standards, and existing sites. 5.4 Facility Recommendations The System Framework Plan builds on the strengths of Woodburn's existing parks and recreation system, responds to the needs assessment of this planning effort, and helps implement adopted policies of the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Map B (page 29) shows the locations of ex- isting and needed parks and recreation facilities resulting from the application of the Level of Service standards outlined in Table 2 (pages 27 - 28). Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 ......... _............-...~..~........_._..,.._.__..._-~....~_......_........-..- ATTACHMENT A -, Page~ of ~~ In addition to Level of Service Standards which address access, acreage, and facility requirements, the City also needs to devel- op and adopt standards addressing items such as playground equipment design and functionality, security, turf and irrigation, park furnishings, and park amenities. A Capital Improvements Plan with suggested projects to repair existing facilities and pro- vide new facilities to meet population growth needs is included as Appendix A. 5.4.1 Mini-Parks The City has acquired a mini-park (Heritage Park) in one recently constructed subdivision. These small parks are desir- able features to serve the needs of the im- mediate area (approximately 1/4 mile), but because of their small size, maintenance costs can be significantly higher than for larger facilities, and tight City budgets can lead to deferred maintenance and deterio- ration of facilities. As an alternative to public ownership, the City should encourage new subdivisions to provide mini-parks, meeting City ap- proved standards. Ownership should be retained by the developer or a homeowner association, with maintenance provided by the developer, the homeowner association, or by the City through a maintenance LID. A bond or other funding insurance mechanism should be required in case the developer or homeowner association fails to maintain the facility at City standards. page 26 9~~S'@'@'::l~ :::.: ~ ~ a. o. o.

Implementation of this concept will allow expansion and up- grading facilities at area schools to provide accessibility, security, and adequate facili- ties. An agreement should also be explored to designate St. Luke's School as a neigh- borhood park facility for the central portion of Woodburn, which is currently under served. The City will need to acquire/ develop or provide alternatives for three new neigh- borhood parks in order to meet expected needs during the next twenty years. Joint location of neighborhood parks with schools should be explored in areas where new schools will be needed. In other loca- tions, stand-alone neighborhood parks may be necessary and, in some cases, smaller mini-parks may substitute for neighbor- hood parks.

Specific rec- ommendations for Centennial Park in- clude: . Obtain the services of an experienced, professional parks planner/landscape architect to design a site master plan . Begin tree planting as soon as a site plan is completed; complete planned initial development . Explore connection with Mill Creek tributary to develop pathway connec- tion to Settlemier Park . Explore partnership opportunities with adjacent schools, especially sharing in- frastructure, such as parking . Consider acquiring adjacent land to meet need for future sports fields 5.4.4 Greenways, Open Space. Trails and Pathways Mill Creek and Goose Creek are recom- mended as a system of public greenways and pathways. The recreational functions of the creek corridors should be limited pri- Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 --...............'.

A comprehensive management plan for these resources should be developed. New subdivisions should be encouraged to dedicate flood ways and creek corridors to the City, and a high priority should be placed on: . working with the Tukwila subdivision and other property owners to extend the existing pathway easements near Hazelnut Drive . acquiring the corridor areas between Lincoln and Cleveland Streets, in the Meadow Park subdivision beyond the existing pond south to the UGB, and along the west tributary from Oeveland Street to Settlemier Park . extending the greenway I pathway north above Legion Park up to the UGB More long term acquisition should include a pathway easement along the west tribu- tary from Settlemier Park to Parr Road, which would provide a direct and safe ro- ute to the Aquatics Center and downtown, as well as connect Centennial Park, the two adjacent schools, and Settlemier Park. Ac- quisition or access easements should also be pursued for Senecal Creek, and a path- way should be constructed connecting the Creek with Burlingham Park. page 32 T" Because the City owns substantial portions of Mill Creek, a phased plan is recom- mended for developing an all-weather pathway, beginning with areas already in public ownership. Small creative play facilities should be installed in the green- ways to address current neighborhood park deficiencies in Wyffle Park and the Hermanson Parks (I, II, and III), but the facilities should be located away from adja- cent homes and be accessible and visible from cross streets. Existing play equip- ment should be relocated to better strategic sites in the corridor. The City should also study the feasibility of overcoming physical barriers to continuous pathway development caused by the rail- road tracks at Oeveland Street and Ogle Street. The archeological discovery and ex- cavation in the corridor near the high school provides an outstanding opportuni- ty for an educational feature and pathway exhibit. Efforts should also be made to work with the Woodburn School District to secure pathway easements on the south bank of Goose Creek, and to connect Lincoln and French Prairie Schools with Senior Estates Park to the west, and along Woodburn High School to connect with Mill Creek. The City of Woodburn owns a high quality fir grove east of Senecal Creek, but the creek corridor itself is owned by the devel- Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 ._--w- . ATTACHMENT~ Page~ of ~ opere Since much of the corridor appears to be wetland, the greenway in this location may function more suitably as habitat and open space protection, and with limited re- creation. However, the fir grove has excel- lent potential for a nature preserve and na- ture trail, from which strategic penetrations could be made to access the creek. Specific recommendations for improve- ments to existing greenways and open space areas include: Wyffle Park . Replace playground with a small child- ren's' play facility; relocate closer to Lin- coln St.; provide adequate drainage and surface material to be functional during wet weather . Develop an all weather pathway from Lincoln St. to Hardcastle Ave. . Elevate grade around exposed sewer manholes or cover with veneer Hermanson Park I . Replace existing playground near Stark St. with a fully accessible, all weather small children's" playground, prefer- ably relocated closer to Marshall St. . Develop an all weather pathway ex- tending from Cleveland St. southward to Stark St. Hermanson Park II . Develop an all weather pathway ex- tending from Stark St. to Wilson St. page 33 ..,. Hermanson Park III . Develop an all weather pathway ex- tending from Wilson St. southward to the small greenway pond . Provide amenities around the pond in- cluding benches, picnic tables and sig- nage . Extend public greenway southward to city limits 5.4.5 Sports and Recreation Facilities Both staff interviews and survey responses indicate the need for additional community recreation and meeting space, sports fields and sports courts for soccer, basketball, baseball/ softball and other activities. Sur- vey responses and physical inspection also indicate a need for drainage and main- tenance improvements at sports facilities. Centennial Park will include sports fields, but these fields will not be designed or lo- cated conveniently for neighborhood re- creational play. Additional sports fields and sports courts will be needed at existing and future neighborhood I school and com- munity park facilities. Additional indoor community recreation facilities and meeting space are also need- ed. A new Community Center building de- signed for recreational use, including a gym to support recreational sports pro- grams, and with adequate off-street park- mg.

ATTACHMENT A PagedL 01 "")9 Because of the physical separation of West Woodburn from the main part of the City, a "neighborhood activity center" (approximately 3,000 s.f) should also be considered for Burlingham Park. Legion Field and Stadium Consideration should be given to convert- ing Legion Field to a soccer field. Specific recommended improvements at Legion Field include: . Make drainage and turf improvements throughout the facility, including sports fields and recreation areas . Conduct a structural and electrical sur- vey of the stadium to determine physi- cal condition . Correct potentially hazardous steps and rotting of the base of support beams Woodburn Aquatics Center Because it serves the entire City, the Wood- burn Aquatics Center and its Settlemier Park location should become a major an- chor for the parks and recreation system. Direct access from Front Street would ac- knowledge orientation of the building to the east, which in turn would reinforce it's proximity to the lower downtown area. page 34 The Aquatics Center should also function as a more integral part of Settlemier Park. This can be accomplished by adding path- way linkages and connecting the two exist- ing parking lots. Specific recommended improvements at the Aquatics Center include: . Integrate and promote the Aquatics Center as a part of Settlemier Park, in- cluding a pathway connection . Explore feasibility of accessing the facil- ity from Front Street as the main entry, and connecting the two existing parking lots . Buffer the parking lot and rental area with additional landscaping . Buffer the adjacent residence on Oak Street . Upgrade the service driveway · Replace lighting Woodburn Community Center The current building does not meet acces- sibility requirements to the second floor, is marginal in size to meet the indoor recrea- tion needs of the community (less than 10,000 s.f.), was not designed for recrea- tional use, does not include a gym to sup- port recreational sports programs, and has inadequate off-street parking.

Because the need for indoor youth recrea- tion is expected to increase, this facility should be included as a part of the feasibili- ty study for a new community center. Spe- cific recommendations include: . Study the feasibility of a new youth/ teen center, possibly including other needed facilities, such as a com- munity center . Review functional capacity . If the facility cannot be replaced with a new community center, upgrade to in- clude new paint, floor coverings, etc. 5.4.6 Cultural and Historic Resources Several parks and cultural I historic re- sources have potential for contributing to a more user friendly and attractive down- town area -- the Aquatics Center; Wood- burn World's Berry Center Museum; and Locomotive, Settlemier, and Library parks. page 35 Improved connections between Settlemier Park and downtown from Front Street are recommended, as well as upgrading the Woodburn World's Berry Center Museum by beautifying the alley and making im- provements to the displays, interpretation, and infrastructure. Upgrades at Locomotive Park could be a catalyst for enhancing the south side of Front Street along the railroad tracks. Spe- cific recommendations include: Locomotive Park . Provide interpretive information on the history and background of the locomo- tive . Install park benches and picnic tables. . Upgrade the parking lot, including drainage improvements . Evaluate alternatives to use of locked gates and barbed wire for security . Work with the railroad company to up- grade adjacent properties to improve the appearance of the railroad corridor, to include screening of the storage yard Library Park .

This pub- lication includes a Maintenance Standard Oassification System with six maintenance "modes": Mode I Mode II - Mode III - Mode IV - Mode V - Mode VI - State of the Art Level High Level Moderate Level Moderately Low Level High Visitation Natural Areas Minimum Level page 36 --", Each "mode" includes specific mam- tenance requirements for turf care, fertiliz- er, irrigation, litter control, pruning, dis- ease and insect control, snow removal, lighting, surfaces, repairs, inspection, floral plantings, restrooms, and special features. Park Maintenance Standards also includes productivity standards for most common maintenance tasks. ATTACHMENT .4 Page..!i2- of 1)7 Maintenance Facilities The storage facilities currently used for parks and recreation equipment are inade- quate, requiring that much of the equip- ment be stored in uncovered, open areas. Specific recommendations for maintenance facilities include: . Install additional covered storage facili- ties (approximately 7,000 s.f.) Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 page 37 - 6. FUNDING This section provides a description of a var- iety of sources which may be used to fund parks and recreation facilities and improve- ments. This is an overview of commonly used funding sources; additional funding sources not included in this list may also be available. 6.1 System Development Charges (SDC's) System Development Charges (SDC's) are fees paid by new development to help pay a portion of the costs of capital facilities needed to serve new development. SDC's were implemented by the City for parks and recreation facilities in 1991. The meth- odology and rates established in 1991 need to be updated to reflect changes in costs since that time, and to address facility needs identified in this comprehensive plan update. SDC revenues may not be used for the con- struction of administrative facilities or to fund operations, maintenance, or repairs. 6.2 General Obligation Bonds (G.O. Bonds) G.O. Bonds are debt instruments which may be sold by the City to fund new parks and recreation facilities, or make improve- ments to existing facilities. These are re- paid with property tax revenue generated by a special levy that is outside the limits Woodburn Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update October 1999 . '_<o._"______"'_,.._...____......>_..,.,,~~"....,-....--~.+-<--.......----...-~~.._..~_ ATTACHMENT...d.- ~ page.!tL.. of--:i2..... imposed by ballot measure #5 (1990), and #50 (1997). Voters must approve G.O. Bond sales either in a General Election in an even numbered year, or in another elec- tion in which a minimum of 50% of regis- tered voters participate. G.O. Bond reve- nues may not be used for operations, main- tenance, or repairs; but they may be used for major renovations to existing facilities. 6.3 Revenue Bonds/Certificates of Partici- pation Revenue bonds and certificates of partici- pation are debt instruments which commit specific revenue sources, such as service or user fees, or special tax revenues for repay- ment of principal and interest on borrowed funds. Revenue bonds are widely used by utility and enterprise operations to fund large scale improvements, and they do not require voter approval. A reliable long- term source of revenue is not currently available to commit for large scale parks and recreation projects. page 38 6.4 Special Assessment/Local Improve- ment Districts Residents may choose to form a local im- provement district (LID) to pay for capital improvements or maintenance of facilities through special assessments on their prop- erty. This method requires the approval of at least 60% of the owners of land within the proposed district, and must represent at least 60% of the land abutting the pro- posed improvement. The use of LID's may be appropriate for new mini-parks in loca- tions where homeowner associations do not exist or are not formed. 6.5 General Fund Revenues General fund revenues consist chiefly of property taxes derived from the permanent tax rate, and are subject to the $10 com- bined limit on local government taxing agencies imposed by Measure #5 (1990). General fund revenues offer a source of funds for facility operations and main- tenance, and may be available on a limited basis for "pay-as-you-go" capital improve- ments. The limited availability of unre- stricted general fund revenues makes them a very unlikely source of funds for parks and recreation capital improvements.

ATTAC~MENT A Page 0---. of /)-c.; 6.6 Local Option Levies for Capital Im- provements A local option levy for capital improve- ments provides for a separate property tax levy outside the City's permanent rate lim- it, subject to the $10 combined rate limit imposed under Measure #5. This levy may be used to fund a capital project or group of projects over a specified period of time, up to 10 years. Revenues from these levies may be used to secure bonds for projects, or to complete one or more projects on a "pay as you go" basis. Local option levies require voter approval and are subject to the double majority requirement of Meas- ure #50. 6.7 Local Option Levies for Operations A local option levy for operations provides for a separate property tax levy outside the City's permanent rate limit, subject to the $10 combined rate limit imposed under Measure #5. This levy may be used to fund a operations and maintenance activi- ties over a specified period of time, up to 5 years. These local option levies require voter approval and are subject to the dou- ble majority requirement of Measure #50. page 39 6.8 User Fees and Rents User fees and rents are direct charges to in- dividuals and groups who use specific pro- grams, facilities and services. These fees and rents usually help pay only a portion of the costs of providing programs and services. User fees generally are set at lev- els sufficient to cover only a portion of pro- gram and maintenance costs, and are rare- ly used to fund capital projects. 6.9 Federal/State/Other Grants Federal, state, and other government agen- cies and foundations often make funds available to serve specific purposes related to parks and recreation; such as land and water conserVation, open space preserva- tion, bicycle path construction, or blighted area improvements. Grants often have conditions and limitations, such as provid- ing for project planning but not construc- tion, and they may require a local match, either in dollars, in-kind services, or both. The availability of many grants has de- creased in recent years due to federal and state cutbacks in funding, but new grants have recently become available for trails. The City should explore the availability of grants to provide for needs identified in the master plan and for other worthwhile projects.

ATTACHMENT "B" FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS RELEVANT FACTS 1. The City of Woodburn is currently conducting Periodic Review for the City's Comprehensive Plan. As a part of this review the City is updating the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. 2. The City of Woodburn recognizes that quality recreation and park facilities and programs are vital components of a healthy and safe community. 3. Woodburn is expected to grow within the next 20 years. The City's Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update addresses projected development patterns, community demographic composition and facility and program needs. FINDINGS 1. Woodburn is in a major growth cycle, and is expected to continue to increase in population and employment over the next several years. Policies of the Woodbum Comprehensive Plan call for orderly, efficient and managed growth, enhancement of community livability, and for new public facilities to be paid for by development fees. 2. Woodbum's population characteristics are unique: a substantial number of adults over 65 years of age and children below the age of 17; an increase in family size; a multi-ethnic community; a large number of families with low to moderate incomes; and a relatively large seasonal populations. 3. Multifamily housing makes up over 25 percent of the housing stock; many of these developments lack access to open space or playground facilities; there is a trend toward a decrease in minimum lot sizes and increased densities in new single family developments. 4. Compared with other cities of comparable size, Woodbum's crime index is relatively high. There is a shortage of sports fields and sports courts, and the distribution of developed public parks and recreation facilities does not provide equitable access for many residents. 5. The City is concerned about deterioration of the downtown and is working to revitalize the area; policies include improving open space in the Central Business District (CBD), and improving Library Park as a catalyst for rejuvenation. 6. Woodbum's drainage system is extensive, but other than a few public greenways and playgrounds, little public use is made of the creek corridors. Much of the system is owned by the City, and by plan policy is recognized as a natural greenway system and transportation corridor. Although parts of the creek system have been channeled, there is excellent potential for accommodating non-vehicular transportation, and for natural greenways, linear parks, and playgrounds. .....-. .,.,-"""".,.-_.~...............,-~"~ I ."" .~, ~~~C~E':, ~ 7. While a blend of private and public recreation facilities can meet the needs of the community, there is some indication that the private recreation facilities and greenways (i.e. Meadow Park, Tukwila, Senior Estates) may negatively impact the City's parks and recreation system as a whole. 8. Woodburn school grounds and play facilities make a substantial contribution in providing neighborhood and community recreation and open space opportunities. A close working relationship exists between the School District and the City of Woodburn. 9. The Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update complies with applicable requirements included in Oregon's Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines(1995) including Goal 1 : Citizen Involvement, Goal 5: Open spaces, scenic and historic areas, and natural resources, Goal 8: Recreational needs, and Goal 11 : Public facilities and services. 10. The Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update complies with applicable Goals and Policies related to parks, recreation, and open space included in Woodburn 2014, as amended, including Residential Land Development Policies A-1 and A-3; Commercial land Development Policy B-5; Annexation Policy 0-1; Public Services Goal H-2, and Policies H-1, H-6, and H-7; Transportation Goal 1-4, and Policies K-1-2, 1-2-2, 1-4-1, 1-4-2, 1-4-5, 1-4- 6, 1-5-4, 1-6-1 and 1-6-2; Growth and Urbanization Policies K-3 and K-10; Natural and Cultural Resources Goals L-1 and L-2, and Policies L-2, and L-3; Downtown Development Policies N-2-1, N-3-1, and N-3-4; and Woodburn Transportation System Plan Goal 1 Policies 4 and 5, Goal 2, and Goal 3 Policy 2. 11. Woodburn 2014 does not currently include a Parks and Recreation Element. Opens Space/Parks are addressed only briefly in the Land use Plan (Chapter X, Section F). Because parks and recreation facilities and programs may have a significant role in the development patterns and livability of the City, a comprehensive plan element devoted to these facilities and programs is warranted. 12. The Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update was developed with public involvement, and is based on a thorough review of community needs and interests. This plan addresses expected parks and recreation facility needs through the year 2020 and best satisfies the public need for parks and recreation facilities and programs. CONCLUSION The Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update will serve as a practical guide for the development of recreation and park facilities and programs in Woodburn through 2020.
