Amends Section 431 -11 (Signs) of the Community Development Code to permit signs in the TO:EMP District subject to standards for Industrial District signs Because the ordinance would make changes that do not affect compliance with Oregon's Statewide Planning Goals (Goals), it is not necessary for these findings to address the Goals with respect to each amendment. The Board of County Commissioners (Board) finds that the Goals apply to amendments covered by these findings only to the extent noted in specific responses to individual applicable Goals, and that each amendment complies with the Goals. Goals 15 (Wi llamette River Greenway), 16 (Estuarine Resources), 17 (Coastal Wetlands), 18 (Beaches and Dunes) and 19 (Ocean Resources) and related Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) are not addressed because these resources are not located within Washington County. GOAL FINDINGS The purpose of the findings in thi s document is to demonstrate that A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 is consistent with Statewide Planning Goals (Goals), Oregon Revised Stahltes (ORS) and Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) requirements, Metro ' s Urban Growth Management Functional Plan (UGMFP) and the Washington County Comprehensive Plan. The Washington County Comprehensive Plan was adopted to implement the aforementioned planning documents and was acknowledged by the State of Oregon. The county follows the post-acknowledgement plan amendment (PAPA) process to update the Comprehensive Plan with new state and regional regulations as necessary and relies in part upon these prior state review processes to demonstrate compliance with all necessary requirements. No Goal compliance issues were rai sed in the hearing proceedings described below. In addition, none of the proposed changes to the maps and text of the Comprehensive Plan implicate a Goal compliance issue. The following findings are provided to demonstrate ongoing compliance. Goal ! - Citizen Involvement Washington County has an acknowledged citizen invol vement program that provides opportunities for ci ti zens and other interested pa rties to participate in all phases of the planning process. In add ition, Chapter X of the County Charter sets forth specific requirements for citizen involvement during review and ado ption of land use ord inances. Washington County has utilized these requirements for the adoption of A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760. Goal 2 - Land Use Planning Statewide Planning Goal 2 addresses Land Use Planning by requiring an adequate factual base to support a decision as well as coordination with affected governmental entities. Washington Exhibit A Findings - A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 Apri l 23, 2013 Page 3 of6 County has an acknowledged land use planning process that provides for the review and update of the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan, which includes documents such as the RurallNatural Resource Plan, Comprehensive Framework Plan for the Urban Area (CFP), Community Development Code (CDC), Transpol1ation Plan, Community Plans, and Urban Planning Area Agreements. Washington County utili zed this process to adopt A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760. Notice was coordinated with all affected governmental entities and no comments were received from these parties regarding the ordinance. Goal 9 - Economic Development Goal 9 requires the provision of adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare and prosperity of citizens. Policy 20 in the CFP and Policies 15 , 16,20 and 21 in the RurallNatural Resource Plan set out the county's policies to strengthen the local economy. The CDC contributes to a sound economy by providing standards that facilitate development in an orderly and efficient fashion. A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 contributes to a healthy economy in Washington County by removing development requirements encumbering several properties in the Beaverton area, one of the state' s largest cities. The des ign elements and planned transportation facilities in the county's Comprehensive Plan were originally adopted to facilitate the plarmed construction of a corporate campus. The campus was never built and the land was subsequently sold. Over the past several years, county staff has received inquiries regarding the development potential of the properties. The specific provisions intended to serve the previous property owner were not consistent with the development plans of these parties. The parties contemplating the site ultimately rejected it, large ly due to the need for comprehensive plan amendments to remove the requirements imposed on the properties. A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 removes regulations and transportation requirements that have hi storically impeded the development of this site. During the processing of this ordinance, the owner of the affected properties requested that the county consider additional amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to further faci litate development of both the affected propert ies and adjacent properties that make up the owner' s world headquarters campus. The property owner requested modifications to the height limits, street tree regulations, and signage requirements that would apply to the new, enlarged Area of Special Concern to allow vacant lands to be developed consistent with the existing campus development. These regulations provide clarity for future development of the properties and ensure a straightforward review process to encourage the economic growth of the properties and supporti ng the economy of Washington County. Plan compliance with Goal 9 is maintained with the amendments made by A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760. The amendments are consistent with the county' s acknowledged po licies and strategies for strengthening the loca l economy as required by Goal 9. Goal 11 - Public Facilities and Services Goal 11 requires a plan for the orderly and efficient arrangement of public fac ilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. Policies 15,25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and Exhibit A Findings - A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 April 23,2013 Page 4 of6 31 of the CFP, and Policy 22 of the RurallNatural Resource Plan address the provision of public faci lities and services in the urban and rural areas of unincorporated Washington County. The CDC requires that adequate public faci lities and services be available for new development. Plan compliance with Goal 11 is maintained with the amendments made by A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760. The amendments are consistent with the county's acknowledged policies and strategies for the provision of public facilities and services as required by Goal 11. Goal 12 - Transportation Goal 12 requires the provision and encouragement of a safe, convenient, multi-modal and economic transportation system. Policy 32 of the CFP, Policy 23 of the RurallNatural Resource Plan, and in particular the Washington County 2020 Transportation Plan, describe the transportation system necessary to accommodate the transp0l1ation needs of Washington County through the year 2020. Implementing measures are contained in the 2020 Transportation Plan, the Sunset West Community Plan and the CDC. A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 would allow campus development within Area of Special Concern #11. In order to be consistent with a campus sty le development, A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 amends the Washington County 2020 Transportation Plan to remove one proposed collector, and change the designation of one roadway from collector to local. The potential development within the area would not be affected. Uti lizing the Metro regional travel demand model, county staff analyzed the associated future 2035 traffic conditions to evaluate a "reasonable worst-case" development scenario without the existing and proposed collector facilities. No land use changes beyond growth assumed in the area by the Metro 2035 allocations were contemplated because A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 would not allow additional development beyond the existing land use designations. The analysis found that eliminating the connections had the potential to "significantly affect" [as defined in OAR 660-012-0060(1)(c)(A)] three existing intersections within the vicinity of the properties subject to this plan amendment. The analysis found that eliminating the existing and proposed collector facilities redistributed traffic within the vicinity to other fac ilities, increasing anticipated future peak-hour vo lumes on other facilities. Three of the intersections were expected to exceed level of service standards under either condition; there was no change at the fourth intersection. Two of the three affected intersections are along Walker Road, which is scheduled for a public improvement project through the Washington County Major Street Transportation Improvement Program. Staff believes that the improvements scheduled for Walker Road can be designed and implemented to adequate ly address the revised future conditions resulting from changes adopted by A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760. The arteria l-to-arter ial intersection of Murray Boulevard and Jenkins Road was recently improved as a condit ion of development occurring on the north- east corner. Staff believes that as future development occurs within the vicinity , additiona l improvements to the intersection can address the revised future conditions proposed by Exhibit A Findings - A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 April 23, 20 13 Page 5 of6 A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760. All of these roadways will continue to operate within their arterial functional classification. The adjustments to Area of Special Concern # 11 alter the requirements of development on the subject properties. One of the changes made to the Community Development Code allows "campus development" to be exempt from the requirements of block lengths given that particular design type. The property owner has requested this change in order to have the flexibility to expand the design characteristics of its adjacent world headquarters campus onto the affected properties. Plan compliance with Goal 12 is maintained with the amendments made by A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760. The amendments are consistent with the county's acknowledged policies and strategies for the provision of transportation facilities and services as required by Goal 12 (the Transportation Plmming Rule or TRP, implemented via OAR Chapter 660, Division 12). Findings of Compliance with Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan for A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 Title 8 - Compliance Procedures Title 8 sets forth Metro's procedures for determining compliance with the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan. Included in this title are steps local jurisdictions must take to ensure that Metro has the opportunity to review amendments to Comprehensive Plans. Title 8 requires jurisdictions to submit notice to Metro at least 45 days prior to the first evidentiary hearing for a proposed amendment to a comprehensive plan. Consistent with Title 8, staff sent a copy of proposed Ordinance No. 760 to Metro on January 18,20 13 , 46 days prior to the first evidentiary hearing. Metro was mailed a copy of A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 on AprilS, 20 13. Metro provided no comments on A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760. The findings in thi s document demonstrate that the amendments made by this ordinance are in compl iance with the UGMFP. Findings of Compliance with Metro's Regional TI'ansportation Functional Plan A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 amends the Washington County Transportation System Plan consistent with the Title 2 " Development and Update of Transportation System Plans" of the Regional Transportation Functional Plan (RTFP) Sections 210, 220 and 230. The evaluation of transportation needs utilized the Metro 2035 land use allocations and trave l demand forecasts, consistent with mobility corrido rs # 19, #22 and #24. A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 does not add any additional transportation fac ilities or make changes to existing fac ilities that would be inconsistent with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Staff has identified that existing motor veh icle performance standards can be maintained wi th a combination of existing funded transportation improvements (which are identified on the Financially Constrained RTP) , and intersection improvements likely to be identified through the development review process. As Exhibit A Findings - A-Engrossed Ord inance No. 760 April 23, 2013 Page 6 of 6 described in the Goal 12 findings above, the multimodal transit oriented district requirements will continue to be met through the application of the CDC Section 431. Therefore, A-Engrossed Ordinance No. 760 is consistent with the RTFP. S: IP LNGI W PSHA REI20 130rdlOrd7 60 _ Slmset IVest lResolution _Findingsvl-EngOrd760 _Findings _Final. doc .~ ~,::~ ~.
