Planning Goal 12 (Transportation). The division sets requirements for
coordination among affected levels of government for preparation adoption,
refinement, implementation and amendment of transportation system plans."
(1) Finding:
Using a combination of funds from the Oregon Department of Transportation
(ODOT) Transportation & Growth Management Program and the City of
Woodburn, the City in 1994-95 sponsored the development of an updated
Woodburn Transportation System Plan. The program has a planning horizon to
the year 2015, and represents for the first time a comprehensive, multi-modal
transportation plan that guides transportation investment in the City for the
next 20 years.
(2) Finding:
The final Transportation System Plan includes recommended facilities,
standards, and improvements for the following modes of transportation:
1.
2.
roadway;
transit;
3. pedestrian;
4. bicycle;
5. golf cart;
6. rail
B. Section 010 - Transportation Planning - "(1) As described in this division,
transportation planning shall be divided into two phases: transportation system
planning and transportation project development. Transportation system
planning establishes land use controls and a network of facilities and services
to meet overall transportation needs. Transportation project development
implements the TSP by determining the precise location, alignment, and
preliminary design of improvements included in the TSP."
(1) Finding:
The city, through the transportation planning process, developed a system plan
that proyides for a network of facilities and seryices to meet the overall
transportation needs of the community.
C. Section 015 - Preparation and Coordination of Transportation System Plans _
"(3) Cities and counties shall prepare, adopt and amend local TSPs for lands
within their planning jurisdiction in compliance with this division. (4) Cities and
counties shall adopt regional and local TSPs required by this division as part of
their comprehensive plans. (5) The preparation of TSPs shall be coordinated

with affected state and federal agencies, local governments, special districts,
and private providers of transportation services."
(1) Finding:
The city coordinated plan preparation with the regional planning body, Marion
County, and OOOT. Portions of the plan were coordinated with the Federal
Highway Administration. The draft TSP was reviewed by Marion County,
OOOT and OLCO.
(2) Finding:
The City's TSP is in compliance with OAR 660 Division 12.
(3) Finding:
The TSP will be adopted as part of the city's comprehensive plan.
O. Section 020 - Elements of Transportation System Plan - "(1) A TSP shall
establish a coordinated network of transportation facilities adequate to serve
state, regional and local transportation needs."
(1) Finding:
The TSP established a coordinated network of transportation facilities that are
adequate to meet the city's determined transportation needs. A roadway
network of arterials and collectors and standards for city streets were
developed.
(2) Finding:
A public transportation plan which provides services to the general public and
transportation disadvantaged was included.
(3) Finding:
A bicycle and pedestrian plan which includes a comprehensive network of
routes throughout the city was developed.
(4) Finding:
A plan for utilization of golf carts was formulated.
Findings and Conclusions
Page 3
(5) Finding:
A rail element was outlined.
(6) Finding:
Air, water and pipeline plans were found not to be relevant for the city.
E. Section '025 - Complying with the Goals in Preparing Transportation System
Plans; Refinement Plans. - "(1) Except as provided in subsection (3) of this
section, adoption of a TSP shall constitute the land use decision regarding the
need for transportation facilities, services and major improvements and their
function, mode, and general location. (2) Findings of compliance with
applicable statewide planning goals and acknowledged comprehensive plan
policies and land use regulations shall be developed in conjunction with the
adoption of the TSP. (3) A local government or MPO may defer decisions
regarding function, general location and mode of a refinement plan if findings
are adopted. "
(1) Finding:
The City will defer a decision regarding the mode of improvements to the
existing 1-5 interchange and make this decision after completion of a refinement
plan.
(2) Finding:
The transportation need is for an improvement of the existing interchange or
construction of a new interchange. Three options were evaluated in the TSP
but there are other potential alternatives.
(3) Finding:
The information as to mode of interchange improvement could not be arrived
at in a timely manner. Marion County has not completed their plan and this
area will be evaluated. Time is also not available to obtain and present required
information to ODOT and the Federal Highway Administration.
(4) Finding:
The deferral does not invalidate any of the TSP assumptions because the need
for an interchange improvement will still be addressed and local improvements
to aid traffic flow will still be addressed. Delay of this decision does not, and

should not, preclude implementation of the remainder of the TSP.
(5) Finding:
The result of the refinement study, which will include a detailed, technical
evaluation of the three current alternative plus others, will be an interchange
alternative which is precisely defined.
(6) Finding:
Information and resources will be available to complete the refinement study
within three years of TSP adoption.
F. Section 030 - Determination of Transportation Needs - "( 1) The TSP shall
identify transportation needs relevant to the planning area and the scale of the
transportation network being planned including: (a) State, regional and local
transportation needs. (b) Needs of the transportation disadvantaged. (c) Needs
for movement of good and services to support industrial and commercial
development. "
(1) Finding:
The TSP identifies the city's transportation needs including those of the
transportation disadvantaged and for support of industrial and commercial
development. These needs were based on a 20 year forecast of population and
employment within the acknowledged comprehensive plan. The TSP includes
measures encouraging reduced reliance on the automobile.
(2) Finding:
It is the policy of the City of Woodburn to comprehensively evaluate and amend
the TSP, as needed, pursuant to OAR 660-12-030-(3)(a) to ensure that the
results of the city's periodic review of the comprehensive plan and land use
regulations and interchange refinement planning are incorporated into the TSP.

intervals over the 20 year life of the plan.
H. Section 040 - Transportation Financing Program - "(1) For areas within an urban
growth boundary containing a population greater than 2,500 persons, the TSP

local government shall amend its land use regulations to implement the TSP.
Local governments shall adopt land use or subdivision ordinance regulations,
consistent with applicable federal and state requirements, to protect
transportation facilities, corridors and sites for their identified functions."
(1) Finding:
The city will amend its applicable land use regulations to implement the TSP.
These regulations will protect transportation facilities, corridors and sites for
their identified function.
(2) Finding:
The regulations also will provide for safe and convenient pedestrian, bicycle and
vehicular movement consistent with access management strategies and the
function of affected streets.
Findings and Conclusions

to functional plans, acknowledged comprehensive plans, and land use
regulations which significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that
allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and level
of service of the facility."

transportation facility and its capacity. This will be accomplished by limiting
land uses, amending the TSP or altering land use requirements to reduce
demand for automobile travel.
(2) Finding:
The City Council finds that the Transportation System Plan adopted herein
complies with OAR 660-12-060( 1 lib) for the affected transportation facilities,
including but limited to the Highway 214/1-5 Interchange/Parr Road area.
