The Grants Pass Development Code Review Task Force met on March 19th to discuss
proposed changes to the development code, focusing on Article 12 concerning building
heights and Articles 23 and 25 related to tree canopy and parking lot design. The
Taskforce debated increasing maximum building heights for various residential and
commercial zones. A key point of discussion was balancing the need for increased
density with preserving neighborhood character, leading to a proposed compromise of
lowering the initially suggested heights for residential zones while creating a clearer
buffer policy for tall structures adjacent to lower-density areas. The group also analyzed
the state-mandated tree canopy requirements for parking lots, concluding that the 40-
50% coverage target was practically unachievable. They explored alterna

4) Public Comment:
a) Doug Bradley, Chair of the Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC) spoke about a
pump track at Reinhart Volunteer Park (RVP). He explained it was one of their
goals, but changed due to RVP not being reported as the best location and
Beacon Hill being planned. Mr. Bradley wanted to know more about where we
are at with the pump track so that he can prioritize with the TAC.
b) Larry Sussman, member of the Bike and Walkways Committee, also spoke in
support of a pump track. Believed it would be a good facility for recreation and
tourism in our area. Pump track was also on their agenda and discussed
connectivity. Wanted clarification on where it is being planned and explained that
they believe RVP was a good location due to the pedestrian bridge making a
connector and that Beacon Hill is at the top of town.

Assistance Grant from DLCD for the Urban Growth Boundary Land Exchange. This

in 40 acres of residential land for strategic development. This dovetailed into other
grants, which gave us the opportunity to adopt SB458 through our Middle Housing
Land Division via Article 17. MIG is connected with DLCD, and they have been
working on similar projects across the state.

a. Cindy Palacios from Clean Sweep reported that approximately 99% of the trash
dumped at Kerby Mainline over the past year (around 300,000 Ibs.) has been cleaned
up. However, winter re-dumping has been worse than expected, with more than half of
the new trash consisting of stolen waste from other areas. This issue is significantly
harder to address and highlights the challenges of enforcing illegal dumping laws.

3. Public Comment: Parks Superintendent Josh Hopkins shared with the committee that
in the January 5 council workshop, Council decided to move forward with the proposal to
change the fly-fishing pond at Reinhart Park into a natural playground. Josh said he
knew that the Tourism Advisory Committee had it on their goals to install a pump track in
this space, so he wanted to come talk about it. Josh explained that if the committee
wanted to support a pump track, there would be other parks it could go in to. Josh
explained that the proposed park at Beacon Hill would be a great place as a tourist
destination since it is visible from the I-5 and would bring people into town that were
traveling and looking for a nice place to stop. Josh went into detail about how long it
would take to move forward with Beacon Hill Park and that it would be done in phases
and the pump track could be worked into the first phase. Josh continued the discussion
and answered all questions about what a natural playground is and how it would be
used. Josh also shared that he is going to the Oregon Governor’s Conference on
Tourism March 9-11. He offered to come back and report to the committee after the
conference. (Min 1-1
