DUYCK ..L 23 SCHOUTEN ~ _ 24 25 MALINOWSKI V ROGERS ~ = A~ED AS~ORM: 26 27 County Counsel 28 For Washington County, BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY, OREGON Chai~ VM EXHIBIT A FINDINGS FOR ORDINANCE NO. 780 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SUNSET WEST COMMUNITY PLAN RELATING TO AREA OF SPECIAL CONCERN #11 March 18,2014 GENERAL FINDINGS Ordinance No. 780 amends Area of Special Concern (AS C) #11 in the Sunset West Community Plan. Changes in the ordinance include amending the ASC #11 text and map to divide ASC #11 into two subareas, ASC # 11 a and ASC # 11 b within the ASC and to specifY permissible building heights in each subarea. Key Ordinance Provisions Ordinance No. 780 includes the following changes: ~ Amends Area of Special Concern # 11 as shown in the Areas of Special Concern Map in the Sunset West Community Plan by creating new Subareas lla and 11 b. ~ Amends the text describing Area of Special Concern # 11 in the Sunset West Community Plan to reflect the division of the ASC into two subareas - # 11 a and # 11 b. Within Subarea 11 b, development standards remain the same. Within Subarea 11 a, up to four buildings having a maximum building height of up to 160 feet will be permitted. 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 (Willamette 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 ofthe findings in this document is to demonstrate that Ordinance No. 780 is consistent with Statewide Planning Goals (Goals), Oregon Revised Statutes (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 raised in the Exhibit A Findings - Ordinance No. 780 March 18,2014 Page 2 of4 hearing proceedings described below. In addition, none ofthe 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 1 - Citizen Involvement Washington County has an acknowledged citizen involvement program that provides opportunities for citizens and other interested parties to participate in all phases of the planning process. In addition, Chapter X of the County Charter sets forth specific requirements for citizen involvement during review and adoption ofland use ordinances. Washington County has utilized these requirements for the adoption of Ordinance No. 780. In further support of Goal 1 compliance, the County mailed notice of the public hearings to 106 owners of property within 500 feet of the property designated with ASC #lla. Goal2 - 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 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), Transportation Plan, Community Plans, and Urban Planning Area Agreements. Washington County utilized this process to adopt Ordinance No. 780. 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 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. Ordinance No. 780 contributes to a healthy economy in Washington County by removing development requirements encumbering several properties owned by Nike, one of the region's major employers located in urban unincorporated Washington County. ASC #11 was originally adopted to facilitate the planned construction of a corporate campus (Sequent). Ordinance No. 780 modifies regulations that may have impeded the development of this site as the Nike world headquarters campus. ASC #11 includes the original Sequent site and Nike's world headquarters campus. The proposed modifications to the height limits in a portion of the Area of Special Concern will allow vacant lands within the campus to be developed more efficiently in this transit accessible area. 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 supporting the economy of Washington County and the region. Exhibit A Findings - Ordinance No. 780 March 18,2014 Page 3 of4 Plan compliance with Goal 9 is maintained with the amendments made by Ordinance No. 780. The amendments are consistent with the county's acknowledged policies and strategies for strengthening the local 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 facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban. Policies 15,25,26,27, 28,29,30 and 31 of the CFP address the provision of public facilities and services in the urban area of unincorporated Washington County. The CDC requires that adequate public facilities and services be available for new development. Plan compliance with Goal 11 is maintained with the amendments made by Ordinance No. 780. 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 and in particular the Washington County Transportation System Plan, describe the transportation system necessary to accommodate the long term transportation needs of Washington County. Implementing measures are contained in the Transportation System Plan, the Sunset West Community Plan and the CDC. Ordinance No. 780 changes the potential maximum height of up to four buildings within Area of Special Concern subarea #11a. The overall development capacity of the site will not be significantly affected by this ordinance. A reasonable worst case with and without the proposed amendments would retain the same employee, development, and total daily trip potential, in part because site FAR provisions do not change. No land use changes beyond growth assumed in the area by the Metro regional employment allocations are contemplated because Ordinance No. 780 does not change underlying land use designations. Any development within the area would be required to demonstrate compliance with the requirements for development within Transit Oriented Districts as defined by the CDC Sections 375 and 431 and the prescribed treatments identified in Area of Special Concern #11. Therefore, Ordinance No. 780 will have no significant affect on the transportation system. Plan compliance with Goal 12 is maintained with the amendments made by Ordinance No. 780. The amendments are consistent with the county ' s acknowledged policies and strategies for the provision oftranspOliation facilities and services as required by Goal 12 (the Transportation Planning Rule or TRP, implemented via OAR Chapter 660, Division 12). Exhibit A Findings - Ordinance No. 780 March 18,2014 Page 4 of4 Findings of Compliance with Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan for Ordinance No. 780 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 mailed a copy of proposed Ordinance No. 780 to Metro on January 16,2014,48 days prior to the first evidentiary hearing. Metro provided no comments on Ordinance No. 780. The findings in this document demonstrate that the amendments made by this ordinance are in compliance with the UGMFP. Findings of Compliance with Metro's Regional Transportation Functional Plan Ordinance No. 780 does not amend the Washington County Transportation System Plan, nor does it add any transportation facilities or make changes to existing facilities. As described in the Goal 12 findings above, the multimodal transit oriented district requirements will continue to be met through the application of the CDC Sections 375 and 431. Therefore, Ordinance No. 780 is consistent with the RTFP. S: IP LNG I WP SHAREI20 14ordlOrd7 80_ Sunset WestlResolution _FindingslOrd7 80 _Findings Jznal. doc
