Finding: There is an 8-inch water main along the east side of Golf Club Rd that extends approximately 475 feet northwest of the intersection. There is a 10-inch sewer main on the west side of Golf Club Road that extends approximately 400 feet northwest of the intersection. The Stayton Police Department,Pacific Power,North Santiam School District, Stayton Fire District, Stayton Cooperative Telephone,Northwest Natural, and Wave Broadband were all notified of the applications and requested to comment. No comments expressing concerns about the ability to provide service were received. 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: The applicant submitted an analysis of the potential impacts of the Comprehensive Plan Map amendment on the transportation system. The analysis was prepared by Garth Appanaitis, PE. The analysis concluded proposed comprehensive plan amendment and zone map amendment would result in an increase in the site's trip potential but would not create a significant effect on the transportation system. The analysis was reviewed by the City's transportation planning consultant who agreed with the methodology and conclusions. 4) The purpose of the proposed zoning district satisfies the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Finding: The Comprehensive Plan, in Table 6-10 projected the need for an addition 174 units of multi-family housing between 2010 and 2030. Since that time there have been only four units of multi-family housing constructed. The sole vacant parcel zoned for multi-family housing in the City Limits has the capacity for 50 to 60 units. Policy HO-1 is to encourage development of housing that meets the needs of all income groups. One of the implementation actions for this policy is to assure that an adequate supply of land in all residential zones. At present there is only one vacant parcel zoned High Density Residential. Without zoning newly annexed land as HD or rezoning other land already in the City to HD, there would not be adequate land available to meet the projected need for multi-family housing. Zoning the 5.2 acre parcel as HD would permit 70 to 120 units to be constructed. 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 Planning Department reports that there are currently 20 vacant parcels zoned Commercial with a total area of 24.6 acres. Two of these parcels have received site plan review approval for development, but a building permit has not yet been issued. The proposed amendment would not eliminate any vacant land zoned commercial, because the subject property is not currently in the City. There is currently only one vacant parcel zoned High Density Residential. 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 May 8,more than 35 days prior to the Planning Commission's first hearing. 10110 Ordinance No. 1045 (Land Use File#5-04/20) Page 7 of 7 Exhibit C,Findings of Fact
