GROWTH MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 98-2729A, FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXPRESSING COUNCIL INTENT TO AMEND THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY TO ADD URBAN RESERVE AREAS 39, 41 AND 42 IN THE VICINITY OF WILSONVILLE.

______________________________________________________________________  

Date:  November 23, 1998      

Committee Action: At its November 3, 1998 meeting, the Growth Management Committee voted 2-0, with 1 abstention, to recommend Council adoption of Resolution No. 98-2729A.Voting in favor: Councilors Monroe and Morissette. Abstaining: Councilor Kvistad.

Council Issues/Discussion: Resolution No. 98-2729A incorporates urban reserve areas 39, 41 and 42. These sites contain approximately 625 acres and can accommodate 1,277 dwelling units and 4,427 jobs. Site 39 would be used exclusively for school purposes, and sites 41 and 42 may be impacted by state decisions on prison siting.

At the committee’s request counsel Larry Shaw agreed that prior council action, increasing the day Road site only if a prison is sited there still stands, and is not changed if Resolution 98-2729 were to be passed.

Councilor Morissette moved to amend site 39 to add 7 acres, at the request of the West Linn/Wilsonville School District. Mr. Stephan Lashbrook, Planning Director for Wilsonville, was invited to speak. He said that the request had been for 20 acres all along, and that the school district was committed to put 3 schools on this site, after consultation with neighbors. The amendment passed 3-0.

Chair Kvistad said he probably would vote against this resolution, due to the uncertainties of the prison siting. Other committee members cited the strong amount of community planning that had gone into the Dammasch plan, and moved the resolution 2-0-1.

I move to forward Resolution 98-2729B to the Dec. 17th Council agenda for final approval.

This Resolution incorporates urban reserve sites 39 a school site, 41 known as the Dammasch site, and 42, Day Road in the Wilsonville area, as well as sites 62 and 63 North of Hillsboro. Sites 39 and 41 are tier 1 sites. Sites 39, 41, 62 and 63 do contain land designated as Exclusive Farm Use (EFU). The combined acreage for these sites is about 645 acres, which can accommodate approximately 1,435 dwelling units and 4,512 jobs according to Metro’s productivity analysis. This includes land in the urban reserve plan for sites 62 and 63. This resolution includes site 42 on the assumption it will be used as a prison site. If that is not demonstrated by the time of final adoption, site 42 will be reviewed.

The sites in this ordinance were properly noticed in compliance with Metro code and state statute. The public had opportunity to provide testimony as to these sites at several public hearings, and, in fact, Metro public hearings on November 10th and November 19th focused specifically on these sites. Based on these hearings the Council amended site 39, a proposed school site for the Wilsonville/West Linn school district, by adding an additional 7 acres at the school district’s request.

Staff reports for these urban reserve sites were available in a timely manner. Results of the staff analysis of state required factors varied, and should be taken into account within the unique context of each site.

Each of these sites involve unique factors for consideration. Site 39 is owned by the state of Oregon and may be transferred to the school district only for the purpose of school siting. The district indicates it wants to put two schools on this site, and Metro has been a partner in seeking solutions to the difficulty of locating school sites in the metropolitan area. Wilsonville has committed to complete an Urban Reserve Plan for site 49.

Either site 41 or 42 may be yet receive final state designation as a prison site. The Dammasch portion of site # 41, however, holds great promise as a model planned community meeting 2040 objectives, based on work done by Wilsonville. Wilsonville has committed to complete an urban reserve plan for this first tier site.

Site 42, Day Road, was previously amended by the Metro council to add 72 acres, conditioned on the state department of corrections making a final determination that this urban reserve would contain the women’s prison. Productivity analysis for site 42 is based on the site containing the prison; thus it is projected to produce some dwelling unit equivalents inside the prison and about 4,000 jobs. The proposed urban reserve plan is complete, if the site is designated as a prison.

Sites 62 and 63, North of Highway 26 near Hillsboro have completed an urban reserve plan, which has been prepared with the assistance of the city of Hillsboro. These are highly productive sites which total only about 20 acres, but can produce about 350 dwelling units according to the productivity analysis.
