MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Wallace W. Lien, Acting City Attorney
DATE: November 30, 2017
RE: Sunshine Coffee, Case No. Case No. 9-09/17
This Memo is intended to assist the Council with its deliberations on the matter of the
Sunshine Coffee application.
1. Jurisdiction Over the Decision
Jurisdiction over the subject application lies exclusively with the Council at this time. In
order to meet the statutory deadline for final resolution by the City of January 11, 2018, a Council
decision in this process is required before that date. That is to say there is no time for any remand
or further consideration of the matter by the Planning Commission or staff.
2. Process for Deliberations
The matter is now before the Council in the adjudication phase, where public testimony will
be taken and deliberations on the outcome will occur. The intricacies of the process by which this
application came to the Council are no longer of concern. The matter is now before the Council for
hearing and decision as would be the case for any other land use application.
3. Substantive Interpretations Have to be Made
There is a serious policy consideration and code interpretation that is involved in the
determination of this matter. That is to say, what are the parameters upon which one application may
be deemed to be a modification of a prior approval of another different application.
There is some help in our code to guide you in answering this question. SMC
17.12.070(1)(a)(3) provides that staff is entitled to make an original decision on a “minor
modification”. A minor modification” is defined in the code as a modification that meets none of
the requirements for a major modification. A major modification” is defined as 1) a change to
transportation elements (driveways, parking, etc.); and 2) increasing the floor area proposed for non-
residential use by more than 15% of that which was approved; and 3) reducing the common area or
landscaping by more than 10%; and 4) increasing the parking spaces by more than 10%; and 5) add
or increase lot coverage in a sensitive or hazard area; and 6) changing the location of buildings,
streets parking, utilities, landscaping or other improvements by more than 10 feet; and 7) changing
a condition of approval; and 8) any change in the approved use that could have a detrimental impact
on adjoining properties.
Page 1 - Memo to Council
Although there is guidance on how to classify a modification as either major or minor, there
is little guidance on when an application can be considered to be a modification of a prior approval,
and when that same application must be considered as a new and original application. It is this
question that must be answered in this case. This is an important exercise, as the adopted
interpretation will set a precedent for how future applications for modifications will be treated.
SMC 17.12.150(1) indicates the purpose of a modification is to provide an efficient process
for modifying a previously approved land use decision. Modifications are new applications and are
not a continuation of the original approved land use decision. SMC 17.12.150(2)(b). A site plan is
required to show the modifications proposed from the original approval. SMC 17.12.150(3)(b). The
normal approval criteria are applied to the modification, using the original development proposal and
any conditions of approval from the original approval. SMC 17.12.150(4).
While the normal consideration of the modification of a land use approval is by the original
applicant, and for the same use as was originally approved, there are no such requirements
enumerated in the code. In this case, the applicant for the modification is different from the
applicant that received the original approval. Further, the type of use and the structures needed for
that use are also different.
The question then is if this application can be defined as a modification at all, or should it
be considered to be a new site plan application altogether. If it is determined this fact pattern
qualifies for administration as a modification, then it must be determined if the modification is minor
or major. All of these interpretations must be made by Council, and the findings and conclusions
to support the interpretations must be drafted and added to the Order once a final decision on this
application is made.
If it is determined that this application can not be considered to be a modification in the first
instance, the application must be considered null and void. In this case, the applicant would be
required to apply for a new and original site plan review under SMC 17.12.220, which would then
be processed as is otherwise provided for in the code. It does not appear that it is possible to allow
the application to be changed at this time from its current posture as a minor modification, to that
of a site plan review. SMC 17.12.140 provides the circumstances upon which an application can be
changed once it is to the Council, but none of those circumstance would allow the change in the kind
of application that is actually being applied for.
If it is determined the application qualifies for a modification in the first instance, then an
interpretation of the facts of the application must be made to decide if the changes proposed are
minor or major in scope. This simply involves application of definitions in SMC 17.04.100. If the
decision is this application is a minor modification, then findings and conclusions to that effect must
be added to the final decision. If the decision is this application is that the application should be for
a major modification, the current application would again have to be considered null and void, and
the process started over using the major modification process set forth in SMC 17.12.150.
What is missing in the current analysis and not present in the proposed Council Order, are
Page 2 - Memo to Council
findings and conclusions that make the required interpretation whether or not this application
qualifies as a modification at all, and if so why it is interpreted to be a minor modification instead
of a major modification. Staff will supply the findings and conclusions to add to the proposed Order
once Council makes the required interpretations.
It is my opinion the current draft of the Council Order is not reasonably defendable at LUBA,
and there would be a high likelihood of remand with instructions for the City to make the
interpretations discussed above. If such a LUBA appeal were to be brought, it would delay any final
action on the application for six months or more while LUBA decided the appeal.
Various elements that can be considered in making these interpretations include the following
issues:
1. In modifying a prior approval should it be required that the applicant for the modification be
the same party that was the applicant in the prior approval.
2. In modifying a prior approval should the underlying primary use be the same as was
originally approved.
3. Does the modification application have to apply only to the same exact land/tract that was
the subject of the prior approval.
4. To what extent should the procedures for review of a major modification” under SMC
17.12.150 be applied to the review of aminor modification.”
5. Should allowable modifications be limited only to design standards, setbacks, dimensional
requirements, landscaping and similar type requirements.
6. To what extent can/should conditions of approval in the original approval be continued,
eliminated or changed in a modification application.
There are undoubtedly more considerations than are listed here. The above list is simply a starting
point for the discussion to indicate the kinds of issues that should be considered in making the
required interpretations.
4. Questions that Must be Answered
In order to help the Council address this complex issue of interpretation of the code, the
following questions are presented as a matrix to assist with the decision making process:
1. Does this application qualify as a modification of a prior land use approval?
If yes, then move to question #2 below. If no, the application must be denied.
Page 3 - Memo to Council
2. If it is deemed this application qualifies as a modification, then do the facts of this
application qualify for a minor or major modification?
If the application is for a minor modification, proceed to final determination on the merits.
If the application is deemed to be a major modification, then the application must be
denied, and the process started over using the major modification process set forth in
SMC 17.12.150.
Once the answers to these questions are made by Council, staff should be directed to draft findings
and conclusions to support the Council’s interpretations, and to bring a final proposed Order in
conformance with the decision to the December 18, 2017 Council meeting for final adoption.

CITY OF STAYTON
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: Mayor Henry Porter and the Stayton City Council
FROM: Dan Fleishman, Director of Planning and Development
DATE: December 4, 2017
SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Minor Modification Application
120 DAYS ENDS: January 11, 2018
ISSUE
The issue before the City Council is a public hearing on an application for minor modification to
a previously approved site plan for the property at the southwest corner of N Third Ave and
Whitney St, addressed as 2550 Martin Dr. This application was approved with conditions by
staff, but called up by Councilor Quiqley. The City Council retained jurisdiction and scheduled
the public hearing at your November 6 meeting.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The site is a portion of Lot 5 in Santiam Station and is subject to the CC&Rs and architectural
standards for that subdivision. Lot 5 was subsequently replatted and divided into six lots, which
benefit from and are subject to mutual access and shared parking easements.
The property has been the subject of multiple site plan review approvals in the past 14 years or
so. In 2013, site plan approval was granted for the establishment of a seasonal produce stand.
The 2013 site plan approval called for the development of a vacant lot with a driveway entrance
onto N Third Ave, a covered sales area to be located within an area of pavers, and gravel
parking area. The 2013 approval noted that the proposed use did not involve the construction
of any buildings and it was envisioned as a temporary development until such time as more
complete development of the property was envisioned. As such, the architectural design
standards of the CC&Rs were not applied and conditions of approval at that time allowed a
gravel-surfaced parking area for up to five years. The 2013 approval required the parking area
to be paved if the proposed use was in existence five years after the approval was granted.
After the site was developed, some inconsistencies with the approved plan were noted and a
revised plan submitted. The revised plan was submitted and approved with further conditions
of approval that required the restriping of the crosswalk and stop bar at the intersection of N
Third and Whitney St and required a building placed on site to meet the architectural design
requirements if it was still in place within five years.
City Council Staff Report
Land Use File 9-09/17 Page 2
The produce stand operated for only one season. The tent that provided the sales area and the
refrigerator building were removed. The other site improvements – pavers and gravel parking
area – remained in place.
The subject application was submitted to the Planning and Development Department on
September 13, 2017. The application is for minor modification of the previously approved plan
and showed the covered sales area removed and the placement of an 8-foot by 20-foot mobile
unit as a coffee kiosk. Under the terms of Code review of an application for a modification of a
previously approved plan is limited only to the modification request – the whole development
is not opened up for review after it has already been approved.
A spring 2014 aerial photo of the site is included below. On the photo, the area of pavers for the
sales area and what was the handicapped parking space is clearly shown and the former
refrigerator building was still on site.
ANALYSIS
This report presents the Planning Staff’s summary and analysis concerning this application. It
was developed with the input of other City departments and agencies.
City Council Staff Report
Land Use File 9-09/17 Page 3
Attached are application for Minor Modification and a revised site plan. Included in the packet
also are comments received from neighboring property owners throughout the review process
and rebuttal comments from the applicant.
As stated above, as a minor modification to a previously approved plan and as such the entire
site plan is not open to review – only those portions proposed to be changed. The draft order
of approval with conditions constitutes the staff recommendation. In developing the draft
order Staff has continued to take the position that the mobile food vending unit proposed for
placement on the site is not a building. Under the guidelines provided by Marion County
Building Inspection for when a building permit is required, the proposal is a mobile unit and not
a building – no permit is required. With these guidelines in mind the original staff decision
found the Code requirements for buildings and the development guidelines for the subdivision
were met.
Staff’s review of the application has found that the several of the design standards for parking
areas and driveway areas are not met. While the parcel has an existing paved driveway
connecting to N Third Ave on the east and the liquor store parcel to the west, the applicant
proposes that the driveway for drive-through service was to not be paved. Also, the site plan
submitted does not indicate the location of parking. The Code requires a minimum of two
parking spaces, one of which must be handicapped accessible. The draft order contains a
recommended condition of approval regarding these issues.
Because paving may be difficult at this time of year, the draft order recommends allowing the
business to open without the parking area and driveway paved, provided a suitable
performance guarantee is filed with the City in accordance with Section 17.20.120, and the
paving is accomplished no later than May 15, 2018. Section 17.20.120, allows a number of
different performance guarantees. It is likely that submittal of a certified check or cash deposit
with the City will be the best option for this case.
Included in the packet is a memorandum from Gerry Aboud, the owner of a neighboring
property. The letter points out a number of Code requirements that Mr. Aboud believes are
not met. A review of the draft order will reveal either findings that the code provisions are met,
a determination they are not applicable, or a condition of approval to assure they are met. Mr.
Aboud mentioned the 15% landscaping requirement. The site plan does not clearly show the
area of landscaping. My measurements from the aerial photo above reveal that approximately
1,800 square feet of the parcel is landscaped, more than 15%.
It is within the purview of the City Council to interpret the Code and the circumstances
differently than Staff has and require the architectural standards of Section 17.20.200.4 and the
Architectural and Site Design Standards of the CC&Rs to be met.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval with conditions as presented in the attached draft order.

Date November 22, 2017
Subject: Sunshine coffee Site Plan November 17, 2017
The most recent Site Plan by Sunshine Coffee was given to the City 11/17/2017. I would like to
address how it relates to the Citys land use codes.
1. The site plan is incomplete, incorrect and not scaled consistently. From the west end of the trailer to
the west property line is not44 feet but closer to 27 feet.
2. The site plan shows the trailer 10 feet north of the driveway.
3. The site plan show one drive thru window facing south, and shows vehicles being served from the
east and the west.
4. While not being able to figure exact dimensions from the site plan it appears that a vehicle being
served and others in line from the east will back up across a dirt area, the driveway and onto 3
rd
ave.
Vehicles served from the west will back up onto the drive then into the liquor store parking lot. The
code 17.20.060.7f3 requires queuing of 3 vehicles plus the serviced vehicle not go onto driveways or
public streets.
5. The site plan does not show handicapped parking as required by Code 17.20.060.8a.
6. The site plan does not show paved parking and driveways as required by Code 17.20.060.10b.
7. The site plan does not show the 15% landscaping required by Code 17.20.090.2.
8. The applicant does not include a landscaping plan, Code 17.20.090.3 or an irrigation plan, Code
17.20.090.4.
9. The applicant does not address that all non-developed land shall be landscaped as required by Code
17.20.090.6.
10. While the applicant only shows one drive thru lane, the trailer has two service windows. One north
facing, one south facing. A drive thru facility cannot face a street as shown by Code 17.20.060.7f1.
It has been stated before that this is not a building so some requirements need not be adhered to. The
site plan review discussed in the code distinguishes between development and improvements to
property. Clearly bare land, even without a building, is covered by the code even when a building
permit is not required.
Design standards for Santiam Station do not allow this trailer with a metal roof. This is part of the
recorded CC&Rs that the City has been enforcing because the City has Santiam Park in the same
development and is a party to those CC&Rs.
The site plan shows water and sewer connections so all System Development Fees should be collected
and monthly storm water and transportation fees collected.
This entire issue is not about keeping Sunshine Coffee from opening. It is not about being Business
Friendly.
It is about is following the laws (Development Codes) of the City of Stayton. It is about holding
everyone to the same standards. It is about making this a better looking city.
Please follow the Law. If you think the laws are unfair or unreasonable consider changing them in the
appropriate venue. Thank you for your time.

To whom it may concern, Mayor Porter and City Council members, In Response to FORMER mayor Gerry
Aboud's lengthy concerns about our small business,
The site plan was done & corrected as requested. The measurements are correct to the best of our knowledge.
I find it odd that Mr. Aboud continues to go on the property we are leasing as stated in his email with
measurements of our lot and we would ask that he not continue to do so.
We ask that you keep in mind that this is a MOBILE unit, We can move it to accommodate our needs or the
city's needs. That is a large part of the reason we invested this way.
Regarding his concern over how many windows we have and what they will be used for, that will be addressed
to city council at the hearing.
Regarding handicapped parking or parking at all, this is a drive through, not a business that you park and go
into. Therefore the only people parking would be myself and maybe one other person and I believe we can park
on the street or on the already provided pavers, which could easily be marked if determined that is the need.
We would like to pave certain areas of course but as this is a Mobile unit and a very new business, we would
like the opportunity to be able to run our business for a time before investing the money into a leased property,
and if it is to be made permanent in the future, paving now before we have city utilities on the property would
be a large waste of ours or the property owners money as we would then have to tear it up to put those utilities
in.
I was told about many modifications that were done to the property by the former business owner that should
cover most of the requirements for landscaping, water runoff etc. There is a catch basin that was put there
specifically for the ability to have gravel instead of paving, from what i was lead to believe.
I would like to point out that this area looks 100% better now than it has in over 2 years and have been told that
by many many people in the neighborhood who appreciate how nice it looks and are anxious for our business to
be open.
We have already "improved the look of the city" as Mr. Aboud was concerned with.
And if allowed to open with a grace period to make improvements we would love to be a beautiful addition to
this town.
I may not be familiar with city codes which is why we have tried to do the things that were asked of us by the
people who are familiar with the codes and their purpose. We have taken our direction from them and moved
forward with this venture based on that knowledge.
2
We are not from wealthy families nor do we have extensive ties to the City of Stayton (as the 2 businessmen
who have had such an issue with our business do) but we have made this town our home and had hoped to
become a valuable part of it.
Thank you for your time, I hope this clears up our intention and relays the value of our business to the city.

City Council Staff Report
CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Grant Hearing Page 1
CITY OF STAYTON
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: Mayor Henry Porter and the Stayton City Council
FROM: Dan Fleishman, Director of Planning and Development
DATE: December 4, 2017
SUBJECT: Public Hearing Regarding Application for Housing
Rehabilitation Funds
ISSUE
The issue before the City Council is holding a public hearing on an application to the State of
Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority for a Community Development Block Grant for a Type
II housing rehabilitation grant.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) are provided by the federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to the states for disbursement to units of local
government for the purposes of assisting low and moderate-income households and meeting
urgent needs. Cities larger than 50,000 in population receive CDBG funds directly from the
federal government. Smaller, “non-entitlement” cities and counties may apply for funding
through the established state programs. In Oregon the CDBG program is administered by the
Infrastructure Finance Authority (IFA) of the Oregon Business Development Department.
Stayton has had a CDBG-financed housing rehabilitation program since 2002. The program
provides low-interest loans to qualified households for home improvements and repairs. As
loans are repaid, the funds are available for relending. The original 2002 grant financed 12
loans and has since provided assistance to more than 20 households.
The City contracts with Valley Development Initiatives (VDI) for the administration of the
program. VDI is a 501c(3) organization established by the Mid-Willamette Valley Council of
Governments for the administration of economic development and housing rehabilitation
programs in Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties. VDI administers housing rehab programs for
eleven cities and Marion County. The Housing Rehabilitation Partners meet several times a
year to discuss policy issues and I am usually in attendance.
ANALYSIS
Under the terms of previous CDBG grants, loans are made to homeowners and a lien is placed
on the property to secure the loan. The loan is repaid when the home is sold or ownership is
transferred. Owners of manufactured housing units who don’t own the land on which the unit
City Council Staff Report
CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Grant Hearing Page 2
sits have previously been ineligible to participate since a lien could not be recorded to secure
the low interest loans. Recent changes to the rules for new grants will allow grants to these
homeowners. Stayton has been working with other communities to put together a regional
grant application to provide assistance to these residents who have been excluded from
previous programs.
Changes in how the state administers the CDBG program now mean that applications must
represent a group of at least three local governments. One local government is the lead
applicant and bears all responsibility for the administration of the grant. The lead applicant
must contract with a regional non-profit for the management of the program. We expect an
application from Stayton, Aumsville, Turner, Mt Angel, and Marion County to be submitted to
the IFA before the end of the month. Stayton will be the lead applicant and as such, this
evening’s public hearing must precede the submittal of the application. If successful, over
$100,000 should be available to qualified Stayton manufactured homeowners. We currently
have 20 households on a waiting list.
I have provided the Council with the preapplication intake form filed with IFA, the participation
agreement, and a sample letter mailed out to the owners of homes in the three mobile home
parks in Stayton in order to develop the waiting list.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City accept the role as the lead applicant and the City Council authorize
the City Administrator to enter into a participation agreement with our neighboring units of

The City of Stayton and its partners, Aumsville, Mt. Angel, Turner, and unincorporated Marion County,
with assistance from Valley Development Initiatives, seek to remedy a significant and growing housing
problem within the region. Substandard conditions exist in many dwelling structures occupied by
low-moderate income residents. These structures need substantial repairs that are beyond the ability of
the owners to correct on their own resources. Most of the repairs requested, if neglected, could endanger
the safety and health of the occupants. Valley Development Initiatives Rehabilitation Partners have
combined their experience in housing rehabilitation to focus the grant application on the needs of those
that do not have equity in their homes or do not own their land and are otherwise ineligible for our
current loan program. This is the first CDBG TYPE II grant application being submitted to IFA to serve the
Marion County area. These communities have also not been associated with a CDBG housing
rehabilitation grant since 2012 or longer, and at the time of the 2012 loan program award, funds could not
be utilized to serve many of those on the wait list due to a lack of equity at that time.
The proposed grant is estimated to provide at least 30 grants to eligible applicants to
rehabilitate their structures, benefiting more than an estimated 100 persons in the
region. The funding will give a resource to low income residents to conduct urgent
health and safety repairs without having to take on additional debt or housing costs.
The Partners propose eligibility would be limited to those persons who do not have
equity upon which a lien on the property can be placed and whom cannot otherwise be
served by the traditional VDI loan program (i.e. stick built or manufactured dwellings
with zero equity and/or applicants who do not own the land).
The City of Stayton will enter into an agreement with the five other regional partners
and the non-profit Valley Development Initiatives to manage the program.

Dear Boulders Mobile Home Park Resident,
The City of Stayton has, for the past fifteen years operated a Housing Rehabilitation
Program that has provided financial assistance to homeowners in order to make repairs
and improvements to their homes. The City will be submitting an application for
additional funding for this program, in order to serve additional residents of the City.
Due to changes in federal and state program rules, we are now looking at a program that
would provide assistance to the owners of manufactured housing units located in mobile
home parks.
In order to be successful in our grant request, our application must include an
indication of the number of manufactured housing unit owners who are interested in
participating. I am writing to you in an effort to assess whether you would be interested
in receiving financial assistance in making repairs or improvements to your home in the
Boulders Mobile Home Park. Assistance will be in the form of a grant for eligible repairs
or improvements.
The program is open only to households who qualify as low or moderate income.
Therefore the attached survey form asks about the number of people who live in your
home and your total household income. We also ask about the type of repairs or
improvements you have in mind. In order to be eligible for a grant, you must be the
owner of the home and reside in it.
Please return the survey in the enclosed envelope or in person to City Hall no later
than December 1, 2017.
If you have any questions, I can be reached by any of the methods in the letterhead,
above.
Thank you for your assistance in compiling this information.
Sincerely,
Dan Fleishman,
Planning & Development Director

OF STAYTON
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: M
ayor Henry Porter and the Stayton City Council
FROM: Dan Fleishman, Director of Planning and Development
DATE: December 4, 2017
SUBJECT: Proposed Resolution Initiating Annexation and
Comprehensive Plan Amendment
ISSUE
The issue before the City Council is the continuation of a public hearing on a combination
application from the City for the annexation of approximately 27 acres of land; a
Comprehensive Plan Map amendment from Residential to Public; and a Zone Map Amendment
from Medium Density Residential to Public/Semi-Public. Following the public hearing the
Council will be requested to consider Ordinance 1014.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On November 20, the City Council started the public hearing on these applications. Staff had
noted that the record did not include the necessary traffic impact analysis required under the
state’s Transportation Planning Rule and had requested the Council continue the hearing.
Testimony at the hearing also suggested that the application for annexation was missing the
required concept plan.
The City’s transportation engineering consultant was requested to prepare the necessary TPR
analysis and you will find it enclosed.
Also attached is a conceptual plan of possible development of the Puntney property as a city
park. The conceptual plan was prepared for a 2008 grant application. As stated in the
previous staff report the City has hired a consultant to prepare a master plan for the Mill Creek
Park. The exact nature of the features to be constructed will be determined during the
planning process.
Unless there is testimony at the hearing requesting additional time to review the documents
added to the record, the Council should be ready for a decision.

COMPLIANCE WITH TRANSPORTATION PLANNING RULE (TPR)
The proposed zone change must comply with Oregon’s Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), which
implements Statewide Planning Goal 12 - “Transportation.” Specifically, OAR Sections 660-012-0060(1)
and (2) apply when considering amendments to acknowledged comprehensive plans and land use
regulations. Below are the applicable sections of OAR 660-012-0060(1) and (2), with emphasis added:
(1) If an amendment to a functional plan, an acknowledged comprehensive plan, or a land use regulation (including
a zoning map) would significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility, then the local government
must put in place measures as provided in section (2) of this rule, unless the amendment is allowed under section
(3), (9) or (10) of this rule. A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if
it would:
(a) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility (exclusive of correction
of map errors in an adopted plan);
(b) Change standards implementing a functional classification system; or
(c) Result in any of the effects listed in paragraphs (A) through (C) of this subsection based on projected
conditions measured at the end of the planning period identified in the adopted TSP. As part of evaluating
projected conditions, the amount of traffic projected to be generated within the area of the amendment
may be reduced if the amendment includes an enforceable, ongoing requirement that would demonstrably
limit traffic generation, including, but not limited to, transportation demand management. This reduction
may diminish or completely eliminate the significant effect of the amendment.[emphasis added]
(A) Types or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing
or planned transportation facility;
(B) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility such that it would not meet
the performance standards identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan; or
(C) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected
to not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan.
(2) If a local government determines that there would be a significant effect, then the local government must
ensure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and performance standards
of the facility measured at the end of the planning period identified in the adopted TSP through one or a
combination of the remedies listed in (a) through (e) below [emphasis added], unless the amendment meets the
balancing test in subsection (2)(e) of this section or qualifies for partial mitigation in section (11) of this rule. A local
government using subsection (2)(e), section (3), section (10) or section (11) to approve an amendment recognizes
that additional motor vehicle traffic congestion may result and that other facility providers would not be expected
to provide additional capacity for motor vehicles in response to this congestion.
(a) Adopting measures that demonstrate allowed land uses are consistent with the planned function,
capacity, and performance standards of the transportation facility” [emphasis added]
As demonstrated by the criteria above, OAR Subsections (1) and (2) establish a two-step process for
evaluating an amendment’s impacts on the transportation system. First, the trip generation potential of
Project #: 3998
December 1, 2017 Page: 3
Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Portland, Oregon
a site is assessed assuming a “reasonable worst‐case” development scenario under the existing and
proposed zoning. If the proposed zoning has the potential to increase the number of trips, an analysis
of long-term transportation impacts can be studied to assess whether the rezone will “significantly
affect” the transportation system. Conversely, if the trip generation under the proposed zoning is equal
to or less than that under the existing zoning, no additional operational analysis is necessary to
conclude that the proposal does not “significantly affect” the transportation system.
Subsections (1) and (2a) provide further guidance for the establishment of a “trip cap” in instances
when the reasonable worse-case development scenario under the proposed amendment has the
potential to create a significant affect. This option is explored later in this report.
REASONABLE WORSE CASE LAND USES
The test for significant effect involves an analysis of land uses representing reasonable worse case”
development scenarios. These reasonable worst case scenarios are independent of current or
planned site uses.
Per the City of Stayton Land Use and Development Code Chapter 17.16.060, housing in LD zones may
not to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre and housing in MD zones may not to exceed 12 dwelling units
per acre. For this analysis the northern parcel is assumed to be zoned LD and the southern parcel is
zoned MD. To assess a “reasonable worst case” for the existing zoning, it was assumed that both
parcels could be built out according to the zoning designation.
Per the City of Stayton Land Use and Development Code Chapter 17.16.060, the P zone allows lands,
buildings and facilities that are common to a pubic area and will not unreasonably change the area of
the community. Based on the designation, it is assumed that a “reasonable worst case” for a public
area would be a public school or schools.
The proposed zone change site was compared to existing school sites in the Mid-Willamette Valley. For
a site of approximately 35 acres, a combined middle school and elementary school was determined to
represents a “reasonable worst case”. The average Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) was analyzed at three
combined middle school & elementary school sites in the Mid-Willamette Valley. This average was
applied to the two parcels to determine a reasonable building size for both a Middle School and
Elementary School. Table 1 summarizes the FAR at the school sites.

REASONABLE WORSE CASE TRIP GENERATION
“Reasonable worst case” trip generation estimates were prepared for the existing and proposed zoning
development scenarios based on information provided in the standard reference manual, Trip
Generation, 10th Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers.
Table 2 summarizes the daily, weekday AM and weekday PM peak hour trips associated with
reasonable worst-case development scenarios under existing and proposed zoning designations. The
Single-Family Detached Housing land use was used for both of the existing zoning parcels and
represents the “reasonable worst case”. The Middle School and Elementary School trip generation
reflect an average FAR ratio determined from similar sites and applied to the gross area of the two
parcels (35.28 acres).

*Note: Weekday AM and PM peak hour trip generation was evaluated using the “Peak Hour of Adjacent Street Traffic” with the exception of the
Middle School Weekday AM peak hour. “Peak Hour of Adjacent Street Traffic” data was available for a Middle should and the table reflects the AM
Peak Hour of Generator” for a Middle School.
As shown in Table 2, the proposed zone change could result in an increase of 878 daily trips, an
increase of 1,013 weekday AM peak hour trips, and a reduction of 57 trips PM peak hour trips. The
proposed zoning has the potential to create an increased impact and possible significant effect on the
surrounding transportation system because of the increase in daily and weekday AM peak hour trips.
Project #: 3998
December 1, 2017 Page: 5

TRIP CAP
Per OAR 660-012-0060, if a zone change amendment is found to significantly affect an existing or
planned transportation facility, then the local government must put in place measures which mitigate
the significant effect. One potential remedy is a “trip cap” designed to limit the vehicle trips associated
with future development of the property.
To mitigate the potential for possible significant effect, the City of Stayton is proposing a trip cap to
restrict future development on the subject properties to a level allowed under the existing zoning. By
imposing the following “trip cap”, the proposed zone change can comply with the TPR.
Proposed Trip Cap:
3,570 daily trips;
673 AM peak hour trips; and
226 PM peak hour trips.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
As previously noted, the city intends to develop the northern parcel into a park and the southern parcel
into a storm water detention facility. A trip generation analysis was performed based on these land
used. Table 3 compares the proposed land uses to the proposed “trip cap”.

The storm water detention facility is not expected to generate daily or peak hour trips after construction.
As shown in Table 3, the daily, AM peak hour, and PM peak hour trip generation of the proposed of
development would be well under the proposed “trip cap”.
TPR COMPLIANCE FINDINGS
Per the analysis described above, if a “trip cap” were included as a condition of approval for the zone
change, the trip generation potential of the subject site would be held to an amount equal to or less
than what is allowed under the existing zoning. With a “trip cap” in place, no additional further

transportation analysis is necessary to support the zone change, as a the “trip cap” would not trigger a
significant effect on the transportation system. A traffic impact analysis may be required for the
development application if the proposed uses require a traffic impact analysis per the City’s code. The
currently envisioned uses would not trigger a traffic impact analysis.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, the results of this analysis indicate the proposed P zoning designation has the potential
to significantly affect the transportation system, per the criteria outlined in Oregon’s Transportation
Planning Rule. As such, a “trip cap is proposed as suitable mitigation to limit the any site
development’s trip generation potential to be the same or less trips than what could be generated by
the existing residential zoning.
For the purposes of establishing a “trip cap”, development on the rezoned site should be limited to no
more than:
3,570 daily trips;
673 AM peak hour trips; and
226 PM peak hour trips.
Further the proposed site development of a public park and storm water detention facility can be built
on the rezoned parcels while staying under the “trip cap”.

Exhibit 5, Findings of Fact
EXHIBIT 5, CITY COUNCIL FINDINGS OF FACT
LAND USE FILE #7-08/17
A. GENERAL FACTS
1. The owners of the properties and the applicants are the City of Stayton and Kirk Kindle.
2. The properties can be described as tax lots 301 and 200 on Map 91W04D and portions of tax lots
2100 and 2200 on Map 91W04DA.
3. The properties are located at 2400 Kindle Way, 2800 Kindle Way, a portion of 2847 Kindle Way,
and a portion of 1450 Goshen Rd SE.
4. 2400 Kindle Way is Parcel 2 of Partitioning Plat 2016-057. It was annexed into the City in
February 2017. The property is designated Residential by the Comprehensive Plan Map. It was
zoned Medium Density Residential (MD) when annexed. The property is 12.23 acres in area with
approximately 1,740 feet of frontage on Kindle Way and 45 feet of frontage Shaff Road. The
property is vacant. The property was purchased by the City from the Lambert family and will be
referred to in these findings as the Lambert property.
5. 2800 Kindle Way is approximately 23 acres in area with approximately 80 feet of frontage on
Kindle Way. The property is developed with a single family detached dwelling and accessory
buildings. The property is outside of the City Limits, is designated as Residential by the
Comprehensive Plan Map and is zoned Marion County Urban Transition (UT). The property is
bisected by Mill Creek. The Comprehensive Plan Map designates a 200-foot wide Natural
Resource Overlay District along Mill Creek. The property was purchased by the City from the
Puntney family and will be referred to in these findings as the Puntney property.
6. The portions of 2847 Kindle Way and 1450 Goshen Rd SE that are proposed for annexation
together comprise approximately 1.7 acres of land and are referred to in this order as the Kindle
Property. This area is owned by Kirk A Kindle, who has consented in writing to its annexation.
This area is outside of the City Limits, is designated as Residential by the Comprehensive Plan
Map and is zoned Marion County Urban Transition (UT).
7. The neighboring property to the east and the north is zoned Public/Semi-Public (P) and is
developed as the Stayton Middle School. The neighboring properties to the west are zoned Low
Density Residential (LD) and are developed as single family detached dwellings or are located
outside of the City Limits, are zoned Marion County UT, and are developed as acreage residential
properties or are vacant. The neighboring property to the south is zoned MD, is developed with a
single family dwelling, and has been approved by the Planning Commission for a 51-lot single
family subdivision.
8. The Puntney property and the Lambert property were purchased by the City of Stayton in the
winter of 2016-2017. The City intends to use the Lambert property as a stormwater detention
facility. The City intends to develop the Puntney property into a park.
9. Annexation of the Kindle property will allow for future dedication of right of way for the future
extension of Kindle Way.
10. The proposal is to annex the Puntney property and Kindle property into the City Limits, to amend
the comprehensive plan designation from Residential to Public for the Puntney and Lambert
properties, to amend the zoning from MD to P for the Lambert property, to assign P zoning to the
Ordinance No. 1014 (Land Use File #7-08/17) Page 2 of 7
Exhibit 5, Findings of Fact
Puntney property, to assign LD zoning to the Kindle Property, and to establish a 100-foot wide
Natural Resource Overlay District along Mill Creek on the Puntney and Kindle property.
11. This proposal must comply with the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), which implements
Statewide Planning Goal 12 when considering amendments to acknowledged comprehensive plans
and land use regulations. The process for analysis of the TPR is a two-step process for evaluating
a proposal’s impacts on the transportation system. First, the trip generation potential of a site is
assessed assuming a “reasonable worst-case” development scenario under the existing and
proposed zoning. If the proposed zoning has the potential to increase the number of trips, an
analysis of long-term transportation impacts can be studied to assess whether the rezone will
significantly affect the transportation system. Conversely, if the trip generation under the proposed
zoning is equal to or less than that under the existing zoning, no additional operational analysis is
necessary to conclude that the proposal does not significantly affect the transportation system.
12. The test for significant effect involves an analysis of land uses representing “reasonable worse-
case” development scenarios. These “reasonable worst-case” scenarios are independent of current
or planned site uses. Per SMC 17.16.060, housing in LD zones may not to exceed 6 dwelling
units per acre and housing in MD zones may not to exceed 12 dwelling units per acre. For this
analysis the northern parcel is assumed to be zoned LD when annexed and the southern parcel is
zoned MD. To assess a reasonable worst case for the existing zoning, the City’s transportation
consultant correctly assumed that both parcels could be built out according to the zoning
designation. Per SMC 17.16.060, the P zone allows lands, buildings and facilities that are
common to a pubic area and will not unreasonably change the area of the community. Based on
the designation, it was assumed that a reasonable worst case for a public area would be a public
school or schools.
13. The proposed zone change site was compared to existing school sites in the mid-Willamette
valley. For a site of approximately 35 acres, a combined middle school and elementary school
was determined to represent the reasonable worst case. The average Floor to Area Ratio (FAR)
was analyzed at three combined middle school & elementary school sites in the mid-Willamette
valley. This average was applied to the two parcels to determine a reasonable building size for
both a middle school and an elementary school. Reasonable worst case trip generation estimates
were prepared for the existing and proposed zoning development scenarios based on information
provided in the standard reference manual, Trip Generation, 10th Edition, published by the
Institute of Transportation Engineers. The Single-Family Detached Housing land use was used for
both of the existing zoning parcels and represents the reasonable worst case. The middle school
and elementary school trip generation reflect an average FAR determined from similar sites and
applied to the gross area of the two parcels (35.28 acres). The proposed zone change could result
in an increase of 878 daily trips, an increase of 1,013 weekday AM peak hour trips, and a
reduction of 57 trips PM peak hour trips. The proposed zoning has the potential to create an
increased impact and possible significant effect on the surrounding transportation system because
of the increase in daily and weekday AM peak hour trips.
14. Per OAR 660-012-0060, if a zone change amendment is found to significantly affect an existing or
planned transportation facility, then the local government must put in place measures which
mitigate the significant effect. One potential remedy is a “trip cap” designed to limit the vehicle
trips associated with future development of the property. To mitigate the potential for possible
significant effect, the City of Stayton may impose a “trip cap” to restrict future development on
the subject properties to a level allowed under the existing zoning.
Ordinance No. 1014 (Land Use File #7-08/17) Page 3 of 7
Exhibit 5, Findings of Fact
15. The City’s transportation engineers determined that if a “trip cap” was applied, the application
would be in compliance with the TPR. The necessary “trip cap” as proposed by the transportation
engineers would be a limit of traffic to be generated from the subject properties of 3,570 daily
trips, of which can be no more than 673 AM peak hour trips and 226 PM peak hour trips.
16. The city intends to develop the northern parcel into a park and the southern parcel into a storm
water detention facility. A trip generation analysis was performed based on these land uses.
Assuming the imposition of the “trip cap” as recommended by the transportation engineers, the
trip generation potential of the subject site would be held to an amount equal to or less than what
is allowed under the existing zoning. With a “trip cap” in place, no additional further
transportation analysis is necessary to support the zone change, as the “trip cap” would not trigger
a significant effect on the transportation system. A traffic impact analysis may be required for the
development application if the proposed uses require a traffic impact analysis per the SMC. The
currently envisioned uses would not trigger a traffic impact analysis.
17. In conclusion, the results of this analysis indicate the proposed P zoning designation has the
potential to “significantly affect” the transportation system, per the criteria outlined in the TPR. As
such, a “trip cap” is proposed as suitable mitigation to limit the any site development’s trip
generation potential to be the same or less trips than what could be generated by the existing
residential zoning. The proposed site development of a public park and storm water detention
facility can be built on the re-zoned parcels while staying under the “trip cap.”

criteria must be demonstrated as being satisfied by an application for Comprehensive Plan
amendment:
a. Need exists in the community for the land proposed to be annexed.
Finding: The 2004 Stayton Parks and Recreation Master Plan identifies the need for an additional
40 acres of community parks in the City by the year 2020. The Puntney property was purchased
with the intention of developing a community park. Annexation of the Kindle property will
facilitate extension of Kindle Way in accordance with the Transportation System Plan.
Ordinance No. 1014 (Land Use File #7-08/17) Page 4 of 7
Exhibit 5, Findings of Fact
b. The site is or is capable of being serviced by adequate City public services, including such
services as may be provided subject to the terms of a contract annexation agreement between the
applicant and the City.
Finding: There is water and sewer service to the Puntney property. The development of the
property into a community park will not create substantial demand on the city or private utility
services.
c. The proposed annexation is property contiguous to existing City jurisdictional limits.
Finding: The property is contiguous to the City Limits on the north, east, and south sides.
d. The proposed annexation is compatible with the character of the surrounding area and complies

Finding: The development of the Puntney property as a community park is in compliance with the
adopted Parks and Recreation Master Plan and will provide recreational opportunities to the
residents of the northwest corner of the City. Annexation of the Kindle property will facilitate
extension of Kindle Way in accordance with the Transportation System Plan.
e. The annexation request complies or can be made to comply with all applicable provisions of state
and local law.
Finding: The property owners have consented to the annexation. Chapter 51 of the Oregon Laws
of 2016 requires a city to annex the territory without submitting the proposal to the electors if the
territory is within the urban growth boundary, the territory will be subject to an acknowledged
comprehensive plan, the territory is contiguous to the city limits, and the proposal conforms to all
other requirements of the city’s ordinances.
f. If a proposed contract annexation, the terms and conditions, including the cost of City facility and
service extensions to the annexed area shall be calculated by the Public Works Director.
Finding: The proposed annexation is not a contract annexation.
Section 17.12.170.6 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Approval Criteria. Pursuant to SMC
17.12.170.6.b the following criteria must be demonstrated as being satisfied by the application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment:
1) The amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, including any
relevant area plans, and the statewide planning goals. In the case of a Comprehensive Plan Map
amendment, the requested designation for the site shall be evaluated against relevant
Comprehensive Plan policies and the decision authority shall find that the requested designation
on balance is more supportive of the Comprehensive Plan as a whole than the old designation.
Finding: The Comprehensive Plan describes the Public land use designation as appropriate for
land owned by governmental agencies, churches, golf club, utilities or not-for-profit organizations.
The Plan narrative indicates that the public designation will be applied after land is acquired by a
public agency in order to avoid affecting private property values.
The City purchased the two parcels in the winter of 2016-17 for development as public facilities.
2) The current Comprehensive Plan does not provide adequate areas in appropriate locations for
uses allowed in the proposed land use designation and the addition of this property to the
inventory of lands so designated is consistent with projected needs for such lands in the
Comprehensive Plan.
Ordinance No. 1014 (Land Use File #7-08/17) Page 5 of 7
Exhibit 5, Findings of Fact
Finding: The Comprehensive Plan envisions that land obtained by public institutions will be
designated for public use after it is obtained, in order to avoid limitations on privately owned
property. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that there may be the need for additional public land
for park purposes. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan identifies the need for an additional 40
acres of community parks in the City by the year 2020. The subject property was purchased by
the City for park and stormwater management needs. There is no other City-owned land that is
appropriate for these uses.
3) Compliance is demonstrated with the statewide land use goals that apply to the subject properties
or to the proposed land use designation. If the proposed designation on the subject property
requires an exception to the Goals, the applicable criteria in the LCDC Administrative Rules for
the type of exception needed shall also apply.
Finding: The pertinent Statewide Land Use Goals are Goal 8 and Goal 11. Goal 8 is to satisfy the
recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors. The City has purchased the Puntney
property to provide recreational opportunities and in compliance with the City’s Parks and
Recreation Master Plan. Goal 11 is to plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient
arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural
development. The City has purchased the Lambert property to develop a stormwater facility in
accordance with the City’s Stormwater Master Plan.
4) Existing or anticipated transportation facilities are adequate for uses permitted under the
proposed designation and the proposed amendment is in conformance with the Oregon
Transportation Planning Rule (OAR 660-012-0060).
Finding: A trip generation analysis was prepared by Patrick Marnell, PE, of Kittelson &
Associates. The Analysis determined that the comprehensive plan amendment could result in an
increase in total daily trips and AM peak hour trips, but a decrease in PM peak hour trips from the
area. The Transportation Planning Rule requires an analysis of the “worst-case” trip generation
from the current zoning and comprehensive plan designation compared to the “worst-case” trip
generation from the proposed zoning and comprehensive plan designation. For purposes of the
analysis, it was assumed that the Puntney property would be zoned as Low Density Residential
and developed at a density of 6 units per acre. The Lambert property is zoned as Medium Density
Residential and has the potential to be developed at 12 dwelling units per acre. For purposes of
the analysis, the “worst-case” traffic generation scenario under the proposed Comprehensive Plan
designation of Public was determined to be a public school complex with a 71,720 square foot
elementary school and a 107,580 square foot middle school. Based on the analysis, Kittelson &
Associates concluded that the comprehensive plan amendment would have a significant effect on
existing or planned transportation facility unless the traffic from the site is capped by a condition
of approval.
5) The current Comprehensive Plan Map provides more than the projected need for lands in the
existing land use designation.
Finding: There are 1,867 acres of land in the UGB designated as Residential. The
Comprehensive Plan indicates that there are 921 buildable acres of land inside the UGB, and
outside of the City Limits. Since that time, there have been about 54 acres of residential land
annexed, including the concurrent application for annexation. The Plan also indicates that the City
will need approximately 460 acres of land for residential development over the course of the
planning period, and that there was 144 acres of buildable land in the city zoned for residential
use.
Ordinance No. 1014 (Land Use File #7-08/17) Page 6 of 7
Exhibit 5, Findings of Fact
6) Public facilities and services necessary to support uses allowed in the proposed designation are
available or are likely to be available in the near future.
Finding: The properties are serviced by public water and by public sewer. The development of
the Lambert property as a stormwater detention facility will not require any utility services. The
development of the Puntney property as a public park will have minimal public water and sewer
demand.
7) Uses allowed in the proposed designation will not significantly adversely affect existing or
planned uses on adjacent lands.
Finding: The development of a park will provide needed public recreation opportunities to nearby
residents. The stormwater detention facility will have no impact on neighboring properties.
Section 17.12.180.6 Official Zoning Map Amendment Approval Criteria. Pursuant to SMC
17.12.180.6.b the following criteria must be demonstrated as being satisfied by the application for
Zoning Map amendment:
1) The proposed zone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan map designation for the subject
property unless a Comprehensive Plan Map amendment has also been applied for and is
otherwise compatible with applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan.
Finding: A concurrent application for a Comprehensive Plan Map amendment has been filed.
2) Existing or anticipated services (water, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, schools, police and fire
protection) can accommodate potential development in the subject area without adverse impact on
the affected service area.
Finding: The properties are serviced by public water and by public sewer. The development of
the Lambert property as a stormwater detention facility will not require any utility services. The
development of the Puntney property as a public park will have minimal public water and sewer
demand. The North Santiam School District, the Stayton Police Department, and the Stayton Fire
District were notified of the application. No comments were received from the School District,
Police Department, or Fire District.
3) Existing or anticipated transportation facilities are adequate for uses permitted under the
proposed zone designation and the proposed amendment is in conformance with the Oregon
Transportation Planning Rule (OAR 660-012-0060).
Finding: A trip generation analysis was prepared by Patrick Marnell, PE, of Kittelson &
Associates. The Analysis determined that the comprehensive plan amendment could result in an
increase in total daily trips and AM peak hour trips, but a decrease in PM peak hour trips from the
area. The Transportation Planning Rule requires an analysis of the “worst-case” trip generation
from the current zoning and comprehensive plan designation compared to the “worst-case” trip
generation from the proposed zoning and comprehensive plan designation. For purposes of the
analysis, it was assumed that the Puntney property would be zoned as Low Density Residential
and developed at a density of 6 units per acre. The Lambert property is zoned as Medium Density
Residential and has the potential to be developed at 12 dwelling units per acre. For purposes of
the analysis, the “worst-case” traffic generation scenario under the proposed zoning of
Public/Semi-Public was determined to be a public school complex with a 71,720 square foot
elementary school and a 107,580 square foot middle school. Based on the analysis, Kittelson &
Associates concluded that the zone map amendment would have a significant effect on existing or
planned transportation facility unless the traffic from the site is capped by a condition of approval.
Ordinance No. 1014 (Land Use File #7-08/17) Page 7 of 7
Exhibit 5, Findings of Fact
4) The purpose of the proposed zoning district satisfies the goals and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan.
Finding: Policy PF-1 calls for the City to provide storm water management and parks and
recreational facilities within the urban growth boundary. The City has purchased the properties
for stormwater and park facilities. Policy PF-3 is for that recreational facilities should be
developed as the City’s population grows.
5) Balance is maintained in the supply of vacant land in the zones affected by the zone change to
meet the demand for projected development in the Comprehensive Plan. Vacant land in the
proposed zone is not adequate in size, configuration or other characteristics to support the
proposed use or development. A Zone Map Amendment shall not eliminate all available vacant
land from any zoning designation.
Finding: The Comprehensive Plan indicates that the public designation will be applied after land
is acquired by a public agency in order to avoid affecting private property values. There is no
other City-owned land that is appropriate for these uses. Following the zone map amendment, the
Planning Department reports there will be 15 vacant parcels zoned MD within the City, with a
total land area of approximately 7 acres.
6) The proposed zone amendment satisfies applicable provisions of Oregon Administrative Rules.
Finding: Notice of the proposed amendment was provided to the Department of Land
Conservation and Development on September 14.
7) The physical characteristics of the property proposed for rezoning are appropriate for the
proposed zone and the potential uses allowed by the proposed zone will not have an adverse
impact on the surrounding land uses.
Finding: The properties are generally flat and would allow for a wide variety of development
opportunities. The Puntney property is bisected by Mill Creek and the portion of the property on
the north side of the creek is mapped as forested wetlands. Development of the properties as a
park and as stormwater detention facility will provide open space and recreational opportunities
for nearby residents. The properties are adjacent to the Stayton Middle School campus, already
zoned Public/Semi-Public.
