Chair Smith said Feeders Supply Project Development Plan #PDP13 was approved.
Project: Timberline and Prospect Overall Development Plan, #ODP130001
Project Description: This is a request for an Overall Development Plan (ODP) located at the
intersection of East Prospect Road and South Timberline Road. The site is 30.57
acres in size and four areas within the parcel are managed by different City
departments. The intent of the ODP is to establish a general land use pattern in
each of the four areas. The current uses include parks and open space, outdoor
storage and public facility uses (Timberline Substation). The proposed uses
include recycling facilities, light and heavy industrial uses, plant nurseries, offices,
and other open space and park uses, e.g., a disc golf course. The ODP is zoned
Industrial (1) and Employment (E).
Recommendation: Approval
Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence
Damon Holland of Ripley Design, Inc. provided information on the site including Coterie Natural Areas,
Spring Creek Trail, Timberline Substation, Parks' storage yard and silo site. He said the purpose of the
ODP is to formalize land use for the area including the Integrated Recycling Facility, open space, outdoor
storage, public facilities, light and heavy industrial, plant nurseries, and disc golf.
Holland outlined how the ODP was in compliance with the Land Use Code. He said access to the site is
available via 3 vehicular entrances (one north of substation, one to the substation, and one via gravel
road to the Parks' storage yard.) It's that access that will be used for the Integrated Recycling Center.
He said pedestrian access is via the Spring Creek Trail. Existing traffic is 28,000 vehicle trips per day
with the recycling facility adding 120 vehicle trips per day during the week and 130 vehicle trips per day
on the weekend.
Holland said a neighborhood meeting was held June 3 with the feedback received related to how the old
(Rivendell) site would be used, how buffering would address visual and noise pollution, what would be
recycled and how would hazardous materials be handled. They also had questions about the impact on
Timberline traffic.
Staff Presentation
Senior Environmental Planner Lindsay Ex said in addition to the presentation staff has submitted a staff
report. Staff finds that the ODP is consistent with the permitted land uses within the Industrial (1) and
Employment (E) zone districts and it does meet the requirements outlined in Section 2.3.2 of the LUC.
Staff recommends approval of the ODP.

Agenda Review
Director Laurie Kadrich reviewed the items on both the Consent and Discussion agendas and noted this
is the first hearing using the recently modified LUC order of proceedings. The most significant change is
the applicant will make their presentation first.
Chair Smith provided background on the board's role and what the audience could expect as to the order
of business. He described the following processes:
• Citizen Participation is an opportunity for citizens to address the board on non -agenda related
topics.
• Consent agenda items are considered items which have no known opposition. They are
approved collectively at the beginning of the meeting unless a board member, staff or audience
member requests an item is pulled and moved to the discussion agenda.
• Discussion agenda items will include an applicant presentation, a staff presentation, and public
comment.
• At the time of public comment, he asked that you come to the podium, state your name and
address for the record, and sign -in. He asked that the speaker clearly state their position. He
encouraged speakers to share comments relevant to the topic under discussion.
• Responses by applicant and staff will follow public comment.
• The board will deliberate and reach a decision once a motion has been made and a vote taken.
• He will begin each new item with a description of the development type being considered. The
board will do their best not to use acronyms or jargon.
