17.65.010 Purpose.

The purpose of the Central Point transit oriented development (TOD) overlay is to promote efficient and sustainable land development and the increased use of transit as required by the Oregon Transportation Planning Rule. (Ord. 2100 § 10 (Exh. B), 2023; Ord. 1971 §4 (Exh. C) (part), 2013; Ord. 1815 §1(part), Exh. B(part), 2000).

17.65.020 Area of application.

These regulations apply to the Central Point TOD overlay as shown on the official city comprehensive plan and zoning maps. A development application within the TOD overlay shall comply with the requirements of this chapter. (Ord. 2100 § 10 (Exh. B), 2023; Ord. 1971 §4 (Exh. C) (part), 2013; Ord. 1815 §1(part), Exh. B(part), 2000).

17.65.025 Special conditions.

On occasion it may be necessary to impose interim development restrictions on certain TOD overlay areas. Special conditions will be identified in this section for each TOD overlay.

A. Eastside Transit Oriented Development Overlay (ETOD) Agricultural Mitigation. All development shall acknowledge the presence of active farm uses within the ETOD area by recording a right-to-farm disclosure statement as a condition of final plat, transfer of property, or site plan and architectural review approval. The ETOD agricultural mitigation shall be removed at such time as the urban growth boundary is incorporated and completely builds out.

B. Eastside Transit Oriented Development Overlay (ETOD) Shallow Wells. Prior to development within the ETOD, a water table analysis shall be conducted to determine the local water table depth. Any development impacting the water table will require further analysis to determine the effect on neighboring wells and the development shall be expected to mitigate that impact.

The ETOD agricultural and shallow wells mitigation shall be removed at such time as the urban growth boundary is incorporated and parcels within the ETOD are built to urban standards and connected to city water. (Ord. 2100 § 10 (Exh. B), 2023; Ord. 1971 §4 (Exh. C) (part), 2013).

17.65.030 Conflict with other regulations.

When there is a conflict between the provisions of this chapter and other requirements of this title, the provisions of this chapter shall govern. (Ord. 2100 § 10 (Exh. B), 2023; Ord. 1971 §4 (Exh. C) (part), 2013; Ord. 1815 §1(part), Exh. B(part), 2000).

17.65.040 Land use.

Four special zone district categories are applied in the Central Point TOD overlay. The characteristics of these zoning districts are summarized in subsections A through D of this section, with specific uses further defined in Section 17.65.050, Table 1.

A. Residential (TOD).

1. LMR--Low Mix Residential. This is the lowest density residential zone in the district. Single-family detached residences are intended to be the primary housing type; however, attached single-family and lower density multifamily housing types, such as duplex and triplex, for example, are also allowed and encouraged.

2. MMR--Medium Mix Residential. This medium density residential zone focuses on higher density forms of residential living. The range of housing types includes higher density single-family, such as zero lot line and attached single-family dwellings, and a variety of multifamily residences. Low impact commercial activities may also be allowed.

3. HMR--High Mix Residential/Commercial. This is the highest density residential zone intended to be near the center of the TOD district. High density forms of multifamily housing, such as multiplexes or apartments, are encouraged along with complementary ground floor commercial uses. Low impact commercial activities may also be allowed. Low density residential types, including large and standard lot single-family detached housing, are not permitted.

B. Employment (TOD).

1. EC--Employment Commercial. Retail, service, and office uses are primarily intended for this district. Activities which are oriented and complementary to pedestrian travel and transit are encouraged. Development is expected to support pedestrian access and transit use. Automobile-oriented activities are generally not included in the list of permitted uses. Residential uses above ground floor commercial uses are also consistent with the purpose of this zone.

2. GC--General Commercial. Commercial and industrial uses are primarily intended for this district. Activities which are oriented and complementary to pedestrian travel and transit are encouraged. Residential uses above ground floor commercial uses are also consistent with the purpose of this zone.

C. C--Civic (TOD). Civic uses such as government offices, schools, and community centers are the primary uses intended in this district. These uses can play an important role in the vitality of the TOD district.

D. OS--Open Space (TOD). Because the density of development will generally be higher than other areas in the region, providing open space and recreation opportunities for the residents and employees in the TOD district becomes very important. This zone is intended to provide a variety of outdoor and recreation amenities. (Ord. 2100 § 10 (Exh. B), 2023; Ord. 1971 §4 (Exh. C) (part), 2013; Ord. 1867 §4(part), 2006; Ord. 1815 §1(part), Exh. B(part), 2000).

17.65.050 Zoning regulations.

A. Permitted Uses. Permitted uses in Table 1 are shown with a “P.” These uses are allowed if they comply with the applicable provisions of this title. They are subject to the same application and review process as other permitted uses identified in this title.

B. Limited Uses. Limited uses in Table 1 are shown with an “L.” These uses are allowed if they comply with the specific limitations described in this chapter and the applicable provisions of this title. They are subject to the same application and review process as other permitted uses identified in this title.

C. Conditional Uses. Conditional uses in Table 1 are shown with a “C.” These uses are allowed if they comply with the applicable provisions of this title. They are subject to the same application and review process as other conditional uses identified in this title.

D. Density. The allowable residential density and employment building floor area are specified in Table 2.

E. Dimensional Standards. The dimensional standards for lot size, lot dimensions, building setbacks, and building height are specified in Table 2.

F. Development Standards.

1. Housing Mix. The required housing mix for the TOD district is shown in Table 2.

2. Accessory Units. Accessory units are allowed as indicated in Table 1. Accessory units shall meet the following standards:

a. A maximum of one accessory unit is permitted per single-family unit;

b. An accessory unit shall have a maximum floor area of eight hundred square feet;

c. The applicable zoning standards in Table 2 shall be satisfied.

3. Parking Standards. The off-street parking and loading requirements in Chapter 17.64 shall apply to the TOD overlay.
