City of Roseburg, OR ZONING REGULATIONS

§ 12.04.010 Introductory and general provisions.

Purpose. To achieve the purposes outlined in Chapter 12.02 of this Code, and to ensure that use of land in the Roseburg Urban Area conforms to the Roseburg Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Districts (also referred to as zones) have been established for all areas under the land use authority of the City of Roseburg. These Districts specify regulations for the use of land and property development standards, and are applied by boundaries indicated on the Roseburg Zoning Map.

Location of zones. The boundaries for the zones listed in this Code are indicated on the Roseburg Zoning Map which is hereby adopted by reference and incorporated herein.

Zoning map. The Roseburg Zoning Map shall be certified by the City Council as being the official zoning map adopted by reference. Certification of the official zoning map shall appear on the cover page.

Amendment of map. Whenever it is necessary to amend the zoning map to conform with an amendment to the text or maps of this Code, the Director shall so change the map and annotate the cover sheet to show the Code amendment or administrative action number and the date of the change. The Director shall certify that the official map has been changed in conformance with the Code amendment or administrative action.

Zoning districts. For the purpose of this Code, the Zoning Districts shown in Table 2-1 are hereby established to implement the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designations:

Interpretation of zone boundaries. Whenever an uncertainty exists as to the boundary of a zone as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules of interpretation shall apply:

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lines shall be construed to follow such plat lines.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following City limits shall be construed to follow such City limits.

Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines or public utility easements shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks or utility easement, whichever is applicable.

Boundaries indicated as following the centerlines of streams, rivers, canals, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow said centerlines.

Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow the mean high water line.

Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extension of features indicated in the above Subsections (1) through (6) of this Section shall be so construed.

Where physical features existing on the ground vary with those shown on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by the above Subsections (1) through (6) of this Section, the Director shall interpret the zone boundaries, and, if necessary, may refer the matter to the Planning Commission for its interpretation pursuant to Section 12.02.070.

Where a public street or alley is officially vacated, the zone requirements applicable to the property to which the vacated area becomes a part shall apply.

Overlay districts. Any portion of a zone district may be subject to additional consideration by the establishment of regulations that "overlay" the parent district. These "overlay districts" may be applied singularly, or in any combination thereof, through application for a zone change pursuant to Section 12.10.040, and are designed to ensure that the various considerations contained in the text of such overlay district are employed in using and developing land subject to an overlay district.

Airport Impact Overlay. The Airport Impact Overlay District is intended to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by assuring that development within areas impacted by airport operations is appropriately planned to mitigate the impact of such operations, and to prevent the establishment of air space obstructions in air approaches through height restrictions and other land use controls as specified in Section 12.04.080 of this Code.

Floodplain Overlay. A district shall be given a floodplain overlay designation when such district has been identified as subject to periodic inundations by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Since such inundation adversely affects the public health, safety, and general welfare, development in said district shall be in conformance to the provisions of Section 12.04.090 of this Code, in addition to the requirements of the underlying zone.

Hillside Development Overlay. A Hillside Development Overlay is particularly applicable to areas of active or potential mass movement (landslide areas) and to all areas identified on the City of Roseburg Slope Map adopted by reference herein and/or greater than 12% slope. Prior to development approval, assurance shall be made that the public health, safety and welfare is not jeopardized by land use or development being proposed. Such approval shall be pursuant to Section 12.04.110 of this Code.

Planned Unit Development (PUD). A Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay is established by a land developer through a process designed to provide a means of creating harmonious planned environments through the application of flexible and diversified land development standards, to encourage superior development arrangements, and to promote the efficient use of urban land. Development within a district subject to a PUD overlay shall be approved pursuant to Subsection 12.10.010(R) and Chapter 12.12 of this Code.

Historic Districts Overlay. The purpose of the Historic Districts Overlay is to preserve, protect, maintain, and enhance those historic resources which represent or reflect elements of the cultural, social, economic, political, and architectural history. Historic resources are the sites, buildings, structures, objects, natural features, or specific districts that relate to events or conditions of our past. Protected resources will provide educational value, enjoyment, and economic diversification as well as beautification of the City and enhancement of property values. Section 12.04.110 of this Code is intended to allow the City to review any changes including alterations, remodels, additions, demolitions, and/or new construction proposals at the time of site review to ensure that registered historic districts/resources are preserved.

West Avenue Residential Overlay. The West Avenue Residential Overlay District is intended to implement the strategies contained in the West Avenue Redevelopment Plan. This overlay district recognizes and provides for the continued use of long established dwellings of record. Residential uses shall be subject to Section 12.04.120 of this Code.

§ 12.04.020 Public reserve and residential open space districts.

Purpose. The Public Reserve (PR) and Residential Open Space (RO) Districts are intended to establish areas which have unique characteristics which require unique regulations. Within the Public Reserve District, a variety of public service activities may be conducted without interference from inappropriate levels of residential, commercial, or industrial activities. It is intended to be applied primarily, though not exclusively, to publicly owned lands. The Residential Open Space District is intended to be applied to areas which have been identified as having significant scenic, cultural, or economic value to the urban area, but which under controlled development conditions are also suitable for limited residential use. Planned Unit Development approval is required to ensure retention of the site's natural character and/or economic benefit to the community.

§ 12.04.030 Residential districts.

Purpose. Roseburg's Residential Zoning Districts are primarily intended to create, maintain and promote a variety of housing opportunities for individual households and to maintain and promote the desired physical character of existing and developing neighborhoods. While the districts primarily accommodate residential use types, some nonresidential uses are also allowed. District standards provide development flexibility, while at the same time helping to ensure that new development is compatible with the City's many neighborhoods. In addition, the regulations offer certainty for property owners, developers and neighbors about the limits of what is allowed.

Side and rear yard setbacks of the zoning district apply.

Front yard setback for any portion of the facade adjacent to automobile access must be at least 20 feet in order to accommodate off-street parking.

Parking and Access.

Access to parking spaces and garages must be from an alley for all parcels abutting an alley.

For parcels without alley access, driveways, parking and other vehicular use areas shall not be located between the porch (or covered building entrance) and the street (see Figure 2-1: Townhouse Parking Standards).

FIGURE 2-1: TOWNHOUSE PARKING STANDARDS

When parking is provided in a garage or carport that faces a street, the following standards must be met:

The garage or carport width may not exceed 50% of the street facing facade of each attached dwelling unit or 13 feet, whichever is greater (see Figure 2-2: Townhouse Garages).

ii.

A townhouse structure may have no more than two individual garage doors or carport entrances in succession on a street-facing facade.

iii.

Garages and carports must be set back at least 20 feet from all property lines that abut a street. Garages and carports must be recessed at least two feet from the street facing facade of the building.

iv.

When garages or carports are paired (abutting), driveways must be combined and centered on the property line between dwelling units providing access to the garages or carports. There must be a minimum of 33 feet distance between single or paired driveways, measured along the front property line, unless otherwise approved by the City engineer (see Figure 2-3: Townhouse Driveway Spacing).

Driveway widths must meet the standards contained within this Code, except that driveway setbacks from interior property lines of adjoining townhouse units are not necessary.

FIGURE 2-2: TOWNHOUSE GARAGES

FIGURE 2-3: TOWNHOUSE DRIVEWAY SPACING

Building Design.

Entryway.

Each dwelling unit must have a separate ground-floor entrance that is clearly defined and highly visible on the building facade that faces a public street or a right-of-way other than an alley. The front door must be within eight feet of the building's front facade (see Figure 2-4: Townhouse Entryways). The door may be at any angle to the street as long as the other entrance standards are met.

ii.

Each front entrance must include a porch or covered entry. A pedestrian walkway must connect each front entrance to the street. A door that leads directly into a garage does not qualify as a front entrance.

FIGURE 2-4: TOWNHOUSE ENTRYWAYS

Glazing. Each townhouse dwelling unit must provide windows or glazed area equal to at least 15% of the building facade that faces a public street or a right-of-way other than an alley. Glazing in (vehicle) garage doors may not be counted towards meeting glazing requirements.

Building Modulation. Architectural features applied to building facades that provide depth and visual relief from large expanses of blank walls and reduce the apparent scale and bulk of the building.

Building facade modulation must be provided on the front facade of all townhouse buildings containing three or more dwelling units when such buildings directly face a public street (other than an alley), as follows:

Exterior walls may not exceed 32 feet in (horizontal) length without modulation.

Along the vertical face of all building stories, such elements shall occur at a minimum interval of 30 feet and each floor shall contain at least two elements listed below.

All modulations must have a depth of at least two feet and a horizontal length of at least four feet.

ii.

Modulation may be achieved through such techniques and features as:

Recessed or projecting wall offsets;

Recess areas (e.g., deck, patio, courtyard, entrance or similar feature).

Entryways, balconies, bay windows;

Porch or canopy structures including columns or piers;

Dormers with peaked roofs and windows or offsets or breaks in roof elevation of 2 feet or greater in height; or

Other prominent architectural features that serve to provide dimension and break up large expanses of wall area.

Landscaping. Each lot developed as a townhouse shall provide a landscaped area in the front yard equal to at least 20 percent of the total front yard but no less than 50 square feet in area.

Each 25 square feet of required area landscaping shall contain one tree at least six feet high. At least two one-gallon or one five-gallon shrubs shall be placed for every 10 square feet of lot landscaping. The remaining planter area shall be treated with ground cover.

ii.

Specifications for Trees and Plant Materials.

§ 12.04.040 Commercial Districts.

Purpose. Roseburg's commercial districts are primarily intended to provide economic opportunity for business owners and a suitable market of goods and services for the public by establishing zones and standards appropriate for certain types of business respective of surrounding Zoning Districts, uses and infrastructure.

The Professional Office District is intended to provide areas for low intensity office uses, which utilize harmonious exterior design and landscaping to serve as a transition or buffer between residential and more intensively developed properties. It is intended that the administrative, professional, and limited business office uses permitted in the PO District will provide for more compatible land uses in close proximity to residential areas than would otherwise be permitted by other commercial districts.

The Limited Commercial classification is provided for a desirable mixing of the residential land uses with limited commercial land uses. The C1 Zone is intended to serve local neighborhood needs rather than an entire community. The limited commercial uses allowed in this district are selected for their compatibility with residential uses and their ability to meet the needs of the neighborhood. Normally, the district is to be applied as a small compact area conveniently located in or near residential areas, and may be applied to areas designated as "Residential" or "Commercial" by the Comprehensive Plan.

The Community Commercial classification is intended to provide areas for community shopping facilities. It is intended to preserve and enhance areas with a wide range of retail sales and service establishments serving both long and short term needs on a community-wide basis.

The General Commercial classification is intended to provide areas within which a variety of retail and wholesale business occurs. These areas serve general community-wide and regional commercial needs.

§ 12.04.060 Airport district (AP).

Purpose. The Airport District classification is intended to protect airport facilities and operations from incompatible uses; to provide for future airport expansion; and to preserve airport lands for future commercial and industrial uses, which will be directly dependent on air transportation.

Allowed uses and standards.

Permitted Uses. Uses identified with a "P" in Table 2-11 are permitted as-of-right in the subject zoning district, subject to compliance with any use standards identified in the final column of the table and all other applicable standards of this Code. Additionally, land within and surrounding the Airport District is subject to the Airport Impact Overlay Section 12.04.080 as specified within this Code.

Conditional Uses. Uses identified with a "C" in Table 2-11 may be allowed if reviewed and approved in accordance with the Conditional Use Permit procedures of Section 12.10.080 of this Code. Conditional uses are subject to compliance with any use standards identified in the final column of the table and all other applicable standards of this Code. Uses not specifically listed but where the ongoing operation and use is directly dependent upon and directly associated with airport activities may be approved in accordance with the Conditional Use Permit procedures.

Prohibited Uses. Uses identified with a "-" are expressly prohibited. Uses not identified are also prohibited.

Use Standards. The "use standards" column of Table 2-11 identifies use-specific standards that apply to some uses. Unless otherwise expressly stated, compliance with such standards is required regardless of whether the use is permitted as-of-right or requires conditional use approval.

Development Standards. Development of land within this District must comply with the standards referenced in Table 2-12, as well as other applicable development standards contained within this Code. If standards for specific aspects of development are not provided, such as minimum lot size, other required standards will dictate unspecified standards (i.e., setbacks and coverage). In addition to the standards specified in Table 2-12, the following development standards apply:

Utilities. All utility wires shall be underground

Lighting. Unless required for safe and convenient air travel, sign lighting and exterior lighting shall not blink, flash, shimmer, oscillate, rotate or project directly into the runway, taxiway or approach zone.

Glare and Electro-Magnetic Interference. Building materials shall not produce glare which may conflict with any present or planned operations of the airport, nor shall any use produce electromagnetic interference which may conflict with any present or planned operation of the airport.

§ 12.04.070 Industrial districts.

Purpose. Roseburg's Mixed Use and Industrial Districts are intended to provide for the full range of industrial activity as specified within this Code and the Comprehensive Plan.

The Mixed Use classification is intended to provide areas within which a variety of activity occurs. These areas serve community-wide and regional needs. Because of the potential for high-density uses, care is needed to ensure that uses are compatible with and do not adversely affect adjacent uses or the carrying capacity of public facilities. The proximity of other uses shall not be a reason for permitted uses to deviate from the standards established in other zones.

The Light Industrial classification is intended to create, preserve and enhance areas containing secondary manufacturing and related establishments and intense commercial uses with limited external impact.

The Medium Industrial classification is intended to create, preserve, and enhance areas containing a wide range of manufacturing and related establishments, and is typically appropriate to areas providing a wide variety of sites with good rail or highway access.

The Heavy Industrial classification is intended to provide, protect, and recognize areas well suited for medium and heavy industrial development and uses free from conflict with commercial, residential, and other incompatible land uses. This district is intended to be applied generally to those areas which have available excellent highway, rail, or other transportation.

§ 12.04.080 Airport impact overlay.

Purpose. The purpose of the Airport Impact Overlay District is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by assuring the development within areas impacted by airport operations is appropriately planned to mitigate the impact of such operations. Furthermore, this overlay district is intended to prevent the establishment of air space obstructions in air approaches through height restrictions and other land use controls, as deemed essential to protect the public health, safety, and welfare consistent with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77. The Airport Approach and Runway Protection Zones are shown on Sheets 2 thru 5 in Chapter 5 of the Airport Layout Plan.

Definitions. For the purpose of this Section only, the following definitions are established:

"Airport approach surface"

means a surface longitudinally centered on the extended runway centerline, extending horizontally and vertically from the end of the Primary Surface at a 20:1 slope for a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet along the extended runway centerline. The beginning width of the Approach Surface coincides with the 500 foot width of the primary surface expanding to a width of the primary surface expanding to a width of 1,500 feet at a distance of 5,000 feet.

"Airport approach zone"

means the area underneath the Airport Approach Surface.

"Runway protection zone"

means the Runway Protection Zone coincides with the Airport Approach Zone for a horizontal distance of 1,000 feet from the end of the primary surface (or 1,200 feet from the end of the runway).

"Airport transitional surface"

means a surface extending upward at a 7:1 slope from the sides of the Primary and Approach Surfaces and intersecting with the Airport Horizontal Surface as specified herein and shown in Figure 2-4 of the Airport Master Plan.

"Airport transitional zone"

means the area underneath the Airport Transitional Surface.

"Airport horizontal surface"

means the Airport Horizontal Surface is established by constructing horizontally-oriented arcs of 5,000 feet radii from the center of each end of the Primary Surface and connecting the arcs with tangent lines drawn parallel to the runway centerline at an elevation of 675 feet above mean sea level. The Airport Horizontal Surface does not include the Approach and Transitional Surfaces.

"Airport horizontal zone"

means the area underneath the Airport Horizontal Surface, not including the Airport Approach and Transitional Zones.

"Airport conical surface"

means the Airport Conical Surface extends horizontally and vertically from the Airport Horizontal Surface at a slope of 20:1 for a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet, terminating at an elevation of 875 mean sea level.

"Airport conical zone"

means the area underneath the Airport Conical Surface.

"Airport primary surface"

means a surface longitudinally centered on the runway extending 200 feet beyond each end of the runway. The width of the Primary Surface is 500 feet. The elevation of any point on the Primary Surface is the same as the elevation of the nearest point on the runway centerline.

"Height."

For the purpose of determining the height limits in all Zones set forth in this Section the datum shall be mean sea level elevation unless otherwise specified.

"Nonconforming use"

means any pre-existing structure, object of natural growth, or use of land which is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section or an amendment thereto.

"Obstruction"

means any structure, growth, or other object, including a mobile object which penetrates any surface specified in this Section.

"Place of public assembly"

means a structure which is designed to accommodate more than 25 persons at one time for such purposes as deliberation, education, worship, shopping, entertainment, or amusement.

"Slope"

means an angle determined by a ratio of a horizontal and vertical measurements written as X:Y respectively.

"Structure"

means an object, including a mobile object, constructed or installed by persons, including but not limited to buildings, towers, cranes, smokestacks, poles, earth formations, and overhead transmission lines.

Allowed Uses and Standards.

Permitted Uses.

Uses and activities permitted by the underlying zoning district shall be allowed unless specifically prohibited or contradicted by this Section.

Within the Runway Protection Zone, the following uses and activities are permitted:

Farm use, excluding any permanent structures or objects.

ii.

Roadways, parking areas, and open storage areas which do not include any permanent structures or objects, and which are located in such a manner that vehicle lights will not make it difficult for pilots to distinguish between landing lights and vehicle lights or result in glare, or in any other way impair visibility in the vicinity of the land approach.

iii.

Underground utilities.

iv.

Exceptions for structures and uses other than above may be permitted subject to review and approval by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Use and Height Limits.

Within the Airport Impact Overlay, no use shall be allowed if such use is likely to attract a quantity of birds hazardous to aircraft operations.

Within the Runway Protection Zone, and within the Airport Approach Zone for a distance of 2,500 feet extending from the end of the runway, sign lighting and exterior lighting shall not blink, flash, shimmer, oscillate, rotate, nor shall the beam of light project into the Approach Surface in such a manner as to result in confusion or distraction to pilots.

Within the Runway Protection Zone, no place of public assembly, as defined in this Section, shall be permitted. Any existing place of public assembly shall be allowed to continue, including building modifications, but shall not increase its occupant load.

When the use of a building as a public assembly has been discontinued for a period in excess of one year, the structure or property shall not thereafter be used as a public assembly.

Any place of public assembly which is damaged or destroyed may be restored to a public assembly, provided the restoration is commenced within a period of one year, and is diligently prosecuted to completion. The restoration or reconstruction shall not increase the floor area or occupant load to a level greater than that which existed at the time of damage or destruction.

Within the Airport Approach Zone for a distance of 3,500 feet extending from the end of the runway, no Multi-Family dwelling shall be permitted.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code, no use may be made of land or water within any Zone established by this Section in such a manner as to create electrical interference with navigational signals of radio communication between the airport and aircraft, make it difficult for pilots to distinguish between airport lights and others, result in glare in the eyes of pilots using the airport, impair visibility in the vicinity of the airport, create bird strike hazards, or otherwise in any way endanger or interfere with the landing, takeoff, or maneuvering of aircraft intending to use the airport.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section, no structure shall be erected, altered, or maintained, and no natural or manmade object or structure shall be allowed to grow in any Zone created by this Section so that it penetrates any Airport Surface, as defined in Subsection 12.04.080(B). No specific height limit applies because the ground level is irregular and therefore the distance between the ground and the Primary, Approach, Transitional, Horizontal and Conical Imaginary Surfaces varies.

Marking and Lighting. Notwithstanding the preceding provision of this Section, the owner of any existing obstruction or nonconforming structure or tree is hereby required to permit the installation, operation, and maintenance thereon of such markers and lights as shall be deemed necessary by the Airport Owner to indicate to the operators of aircraft in the vicinity of the airport and presence of such airport obstruction. Such markers and lights shall be installed, operated, and maintained at the expense of the Airport Owner.

Permits. Except as specifically provided in "a" and "b" hereunder, no material change shall be made in the use of land, no structure shall be erected or otherwise established, and no tree shall be planted in any Zone hereby created until site development plans have been approved by the Director as specified in Chapter 12.06. Site development plan approval for a use inconsistent with the provisions of this Section shall not be granted unless a variance has been approved in accordance with the below Paragraph 12.04.080(C)(5).

In the area lying within the limits of the Horizontal Zone and Conical Zone, no site development plan review shall be required for any tree with a maximum potential height of less than 75 feet of vertical height above the ground, which conforms to the restrictions of Subsection 12.04.080(C).

In areas lying within the limits of the Airport Approach Zones, but at a horizontal distance of 4,200 or more feet from each end of the runway, no site development review shall be required for any tree with a maximum potential height of 75 feet of vertical height above the ground, which conforms to the restrictions of Subsection 12.04.080(C).

Variances. Any person desiring to erect or increase the height of any structure, or permit the growth of any tree, or use property, not in accordance with the regulations prescribed in this Section, may apply for a Variance from such regulations using the procedure of Subsection 12.10.010(T).

The application for variance shall be accompanied by a determination from the Federal Aviation Administration as to the effects of the proposal on the operation of air navigation facilities and the safe, efficient use of navigable airspace. In addition to the criteria for granting a variance as specified in Section 12.10.050, such variance must be found not to create a hazard to air navigation, and to be in accordance with the intent of this Section.

As further conditions for granting a variance the approving authority may require an overflight and aviation hold harmless agreement, and may further require an agreement from the applicant agreeing to remove the structure, tree, or use for which the variance is granted at the applicant's expense if the City so requires as some future time. The approving authority may require that such agreement(s) be recorded against the property.

§ 12.04.090 Floodplain overlay.

Statutory Authorization. The Legislature of the State of Oregon has in Article IV, Section 2, and Article XI, Section 2, of the Constitution of the State of Oregon, delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. The City Council has adopted this Section in accordance with such authority.

Impact on Public Health and Safety.

Flood hazard areas within City of Roseburg are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property; health and safety hazards; disruption of commerce and governmental services; extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection; and relief and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.

These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which increase flood heights and velocities and when inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately flood-proofed, elevated, or otherwise protected from flood damages also contribute to the flood loss.

This Section seeks to avoid, to the extent possible, the long- and short-term adverse impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of floodplains and to avoid the direct or indirect support of floodplain development whenever there is a practicable alternative. The preferred method for satisfying this requirement is to avoid sites in the base floodplain. If a structure must be located in the base floodplain, this Section requires that potential harm to people and property and to natural and beneficial floodplain values is minimized.

Purpose. It is the purpose of this Section to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to:

Protect human life and health;

Minimize expenditure of public money and costly flood control projects;

Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;

Minimize prolonged business interruptions;

Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone, and sewer lines, streets, and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard;

Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood blight areas;

Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard; and

Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions.

Methods of Reducing Flood Losses. In order to accomplish its purposes, this Section includes methods and provisions for:

Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities;

Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;

Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters;

Controlling filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase flood damage; and

Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas;

Coordinating and supplementing the provisions of the state building code with local land use and development ordinances.

For the purposes of this definition "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor or other structural part of the building commences, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the structure. The term does not, however, include either:

Any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe living conditions, or

Any alteration of a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the City Inventory of Historic Places.

"Technical evaluation"

means the application of special knowledge of the mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences regarding investigation, evaluation, planning, and design for the purpose of assuring compliance with applicable standards (i.e., photo interpretation, surveys, land forms, data sources, hydrological analysis, etc.).

Lands to Which this Code Applies. This Code shall apply to all areas of special flood hazards within the jurisdiction of the City of Roseburg.

Basis for Establishing Areas of Special Flood Hazard. Areas of flood hazard for the Roseburg urban area are areas designated as special flood hazard areas (A zones) or areas within a floodway.

Special flood hazard areas and floodways are identified by the Federal Insurance Administration in scientific and engineering reports entitled "The Flood Insurance Study for Douglas County, Oregon and Incorporated Areas," effective date February 17, 2010, with accompanying Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRM) and Flood Hazard Boundary Maps and future revisions as adopted.

All of the above referenced publications, maps and orthophotos are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be part of this Code as are future revisions as adopted. These publications, maps, and orthophotos shall be kept on file with the Community Development Department.

These publications shall be used as the basis for determining which flood district applies to property. The best available information for flood hazard identification as outlined in Subsection N shall be the basis for regulation until a new FIRM is issued which incorporates the data utilized under Subsection N of this Section. Where these publications fail to provide data sufficient to determine the applicable flood district, the applicable flood district and base flood elevation shall be determined on the basis of the best available information.

Areas of flood hazard shall also include any land area susceptible to inundation water from any source where the above referenced maps have not identified any special flood areas.

Penalties for Noncompliance. No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted, or altered without full compliance with the terms of this Code and other applicable regulations. Violation of the provisions of this Code by failure to comply with any of its requirements (including violations of conditions and safeguards established in connection with conditions) shall constitute a misdemeanor. Any person who violates this Code or fails to comply with any of its requirements shall upon conviction thereof be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned for not more than 30 days, or both, for each violation and in addition shall pay all costs and expenses involved in the case. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City of Roseburg from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation.

Abrogation and Greater Restrictions. This Code is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this Section and another ordinance, state building code, easement, covenant, or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restriction shall prevail.

Interpretation. In the interpretation and application of this Code, all provisions shall be:

Considered as minimum requirements;

Liberally constructed in favor of the City Council; and,

Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under State statutes and rules including the State building codes.

Warning and Disclaimer of Liability. The degree of flood protection required by this Code is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on technical evaluations as defined in Subsection E of this Section. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This Code does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This Code shall not create liability on the part of the City, any Department or employee thereof, or the Federal Insurance Administration, for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Code or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. Building in areas where flooding can occur is at the owner's sole risk.

Site Plan Review. A site plan review shall be obtained before construction or development begins within any area of special flood hazard established in Subsection FF of this Section. The Community Development Director is appointed to administer and implement this Code by granting or denying site plan review applications in accordance with its provisions. The review shall be for all structures including mobile homes, as set forth in Subsection E, Definitions, and for other development including fill and other activities, also as set forth in the Subsection E, Definitions. Application for a site plan review shall be made on forms furnished by the Community Development Director and may include but be limited to; plans in duplicate drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevations of the area in question; existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, drainage facilities, and the location of the foregoing. Specifically, the following information is required:

Elevation in relation to mean sea level NAVD 88, of the bottom of the lowest floor (including basement) of all structures;

Elevation in relation to mean sea level NAVD 88 to which any structure has been flood-proofed;

Certification by a registered professional engineer or architect that the flood-proofing methods for any nonresidential structure meet the flood-proofing criteria specified in Subsection BB of this Section; and

Description of the extent to which any watercourse will be altered or relocated as a result of proposed development.

Where elevation data is not available through the Flood Insurance Study or from another authoritative source (Subsection N of this Section), applications for site plan review shall be reviewed to assure that proposed construction will be reasonably safe from flooding. The test of reasonableness is a local judgment and includes use of historical data, high water marks, photographs of past flooding, etc., where available. Failure to elevate at least two feet above grade in these zones may result in higher insurance rates.

Duties and Responsibilities of the Director. Duties of the Community Development Director shall include, but not be limited to:

Review all development applications to determine that the requirements and conditions of this Code have been satisfied.

Review all development permits to determine that all necessary permits have been obtained from those Federal, State, or local governmental agencies from which prior approval is required.

Review all development permits to determine if the proposed development is located in the floodway. If located in the floodway, assure that the encroachment provisions of Subsection EE of this Section are met.

Use of Other Base Flood Data. When base flood elevation data has not been provided in accordance with Subsection 12.04.090(G) of this Code: Basis for Establishing the Areas of Special Flood Hazard, the Community Development Director shall obtain, review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation data available from a Federal, State, or other source, in order to administer Subsection Z of this Section: Residential Construction, and Subsection AA of this Section: Non-Residential Construction.

Information to Be Obtained and Maintained.

Where base flood elevations data is provided through the Flood Insurance Study or required as Subsection 12.04.090(N) of this Code obtain and record the actual elevation (in relation to NAVD 88) of the bottom of the lowest floor (including basements and below-grade crawlspace) of all new or substantially improved structures, and whether or not the structure contains a basement.

For all new or substantially improved flood-proofed structures:

Verify and record the actual elevation (in relation to NAVD 88), and,

Maintain the flood-proofing certifications required in Subsection 0(L)(3) of this Section.

Maintain for public inspection all records pertaining to the provisions of this Code.

Alteration of Watercourses.

Notify adjacent communities and the State coordinating agency prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse, and submit evidence of such notification to the Federal Insurance Administration.

Require that maintenance is provided within the altered or relocated portion of said watercourse so that the flood carrying capacity of the watercourse is not diminished.

Interpretation of Firm Boundaries. Make interpretation where needed as to exact location of the boundaries of the areas of special flood hazards (for example, where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions). The person contesting the location of the boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the interpretation as provided in Subsection R of this Section.

Variance Procedure.

The Planning Commission shall hear and decide variances from the requirements of this Section as provided for in Subsection 12.10.010(T) of this Code.

The Planning Commission shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision, or determination made by the Community Development Director in the enforcement or administration of this Section as provided for in Subsection 12.10.010(Q) of this Code.

Those aggrieved by the decision of the Planning Commission, or any taxpayer, may appeal such decision to the City Council, as provided in Subsection 12.10.010(Y) of this Code.

In passing upon such applications, the Planning Commission shall consider all technical valuations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other Sections of this Code, and:

Danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;

Danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;

Susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner;

Importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community;

Necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;

Availability of alternative locations, for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage;

Compatibility of the proposed use with existing anticipated development;

Relationship of the proposed use to the Comprehensive Plan and Floodplain Management Program for that area;

Safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles;

Expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the flood waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and,

Costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems, and street and bridges,

Effects of flood damage on individual property owners.

Generally, the only condition under which a variance may be issued is for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing Subsection (R)(4) of this Section have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond the one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases.

The Planning Commission may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this Code.

The Community Development Director shall maintain the records of all appeal actions and report any variances to the Federal Insurance Administration upon request.

Conditions for Variances.

Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation, or restoration of structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the State Inventory of Historic Places, without regard to the procedures set forth in the remainder of this Section.

Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.

Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.

Variances shall only be issued upon:

Showing of good and sufficient cause;

Determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights or additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud, or victimization of the public as identified in Subsections L through R of this Section, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.

Variances as interpreted in the National Flood Insurance Program are based on the general zoning law principle that they pertain to a physical piece or property; they are not personal in nature and do not pertain to the structure, its inhabitants, economic or financial circumstances. As such, variances from the flood elevations should be quite rare.

Variances may be issued for nonresidential buildings and structures in very limited circumstances to allow a lesser degree of flood-proofing than watertight or dry-flood-proofing, where it can be determined that such action will have low damage potential, complies with all other variance criteria except Subsection (R)(5) and otherwise complies with Subsections (U)(1) and (U)(2)(a)-(b) of this Section.

Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation.

General Standards. In areas of flood hazards, the provisions of Subsections 12.04.090(U) through 12.04.090(BB) of this Code shall apply.

Anchoring.

New construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure.

Manufactured homes shall be anchored to resist flotation, collapse, or lateral movement by providing over-the-top and frame ties to ground anchors. Specific requirements shall be that:

All manufactured homes must likewise be anchored to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement, and shall be installed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. Anchoring methods may include, but are not limited to the use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors (Reference FEMA's guidebook FEMA-85 "Manufactured Home Installation in Flood Hazard Areas" for additional techniques).

Additions to the mobile home shall be similarly anchored.

Alternative methods of anchoring may involve a system designed to withstand a wind force of 90 miles per hour or greater. Certification must be provided to the Community Development Director that this standard has been met.

Construction Materials and Methods.

New construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage.

New construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage.

Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air-conditioning equipment and other service facilities shall be elevated to a minimum of one foot above base flood elevation or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.

Utilities.

All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system.

New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharge from the systems into flood waters; and,

On site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them to contamination from them during flooding consistent with Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Regulations.

Roseburg Urban Sanitary Authority shall be notified when development requiring an onsite waste disposal system is proposed in an area of flood hazard.

Roseburg Urban Sanitary Authority shall be responsible for carrying out the purposes of enforcing this provision.

Subdivision and partitioning proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sanitary and storm sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems located and constructed and maintained to minimize flood damage;

Subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood damage, including returning water;

Partitions and subdivisions for nonresidential uses shall have the explanation "Not for residential use" printed on the face of the final survey map or plat. Where base flood elevation data has not been provided or is not available from another authoritative source, it shall be generated for subdivision and partition proposals and other proposed development which contain at least 50 lots or five acres (whichever is less);

No portion of any street or road surface in any subdivision shall be at an elevation less than one foot below the regional flood height. The road surface is that portion of a street or way available for vehicular traffic or where curbs are laid; the portion between curbs;

100-year flood elevation data shall be provided and shown on final partition and subdivision plats. Applicant must show the boundaries of the 100-year flood and floodway on the final subdivision plat;

A permanent monument shall be established and maintained on land partitioned or subdivided, showing the elevation in feet above mean sea level, NAVD 88. The location of such monument shall be shown on the final partition map or subdivision plat.

Specific Standards. In all areas of special flood hazards where base flood elevation data has been provided as set forth in Subsection G: Basis for Establishing Areas of Special Flood Hazard, or Subsection N: Use of Other Base Flood Data, the following provisions for residential and nonresidential construction, Subsections Z and AA of this Section and manufactured home placement, Subsection BB of this Section, are required.

Residential Construction.

New construction and substantial improvement of any residential structure shall have the bottom of the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to a minimum of one foot above base flood elevation.

Fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding are prohibited, or shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or must meet or exceed the following minimum criteria:

A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided.

The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade.

Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters.

New Construction and substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial, or other nonresidential structure shall either have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to a minimum of one foot above base flood elevation; or, together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, shall:

Be flood-proofed so that below one foot above the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water;

Have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy;

Be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect that the design and methods of construction are in accordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting provisions of this Section based on their development and/or review of the structural design, specifications and plans. Such certification shall be provided to the official as set forth in Subsection (O)(2) of this Section;

Non-residential structures that are elevated, not flood-proofed, must meet the same standards for space below the lowest floor as described in Subsection (Z)(2);

Applicants flood-proofing nonresidential buildings shall be notified that flood insurance premiums will be based on rates that are one foot below the flood-proof level (e.g., a building constructed to the base flood level will be rated as one foot below that level).

BB.

Manufactured Homes. All manufactured homes to be placed or substantially improved within Zone AE shall be elevated on a permanent foundation conforming to Subsection F such that the lowest longitudinal chassis beam of the manufactured home is a minimum of 18 inches above the base flood elevation and be securely anchored with a foundation system in accordance with the provisions of Subsection (U)(2). Electrical and HVAC cross-over ducts shall be elevated to a minimum of one foot above base flood elevation.

CC.

Recreational Vehicles. Recreational vehicles placed on sites are required to either:

Be on the site for fewer than 180 consecutive days,

Be fully licensed and ready for highway use, on its wheels or jacking system, is attached to the site only by quick disconnect type utilities and security devices, and has no permanently attached additions; or

Meet the requirements of Subsection 2.04.090(BB) above and the elevation and anchoring requirements for manufactured homes.

DD.

Below-Grade Crawlspaces. Below-grade crawlspaces are allowed subject to the following standards as found in FEMA Technical Bulletin 11-01, Crawlspace Construction for Buildings Located in Special Flood Hazard Areas, and depicted in Figure 2-6, Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8, below.

The building must be designed and adequately anchored to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy. Hydrostatic loads and the effects of buoyancy can usually be addressed by the required openings stated in Subsection (DD)(2) below. Because of hydrodynamic loads crawlspace construction is not allowed in areas with flood velocities greater than five feet per second unless the design is reviewed by a qualified design professional, such as a registered architect or professional engineer. Other types of foundations are recommended for these areas.

The crawlspace is an enclosed area below the base flood elevation (BFE) and, as such, must have openings that equalize hydrostatic pressures by allowing the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters. The bottom of each flood vent opening can be no more than one foot above the lowest adjacent exterior grade.

Portions of the building below the BFE must be constructed with materials resistant to flood damage. This includes not only the foundation walls of the crawlspace used to elevate the building, but also any joists, insulation, or other materials that extend below the BFE. The recommended construction is to elevate the bottom of joists and all insulation one foot above BFE.

Any building utility systems within the crawlspace must be elevated a minimum of one foot above BFE or designed so that floodwaters cannot enter or accumulate within the system components during flood conditions. Ductwork, in particular, must either be placed a minimum of one foot above the BFE or sealed from floodwaters.

The interior grade of a crawlspace below the BFE must not be more than two feet below the lowest adjacent exterior grade.

The height of the below-grade crawlspace, measured from the interior grade of the crawlspace to the top of the crawlspace foundation wall must not exceed four feet at any point. The height limitation is the maximum allowable unsupported wall height according to the engineering analyses and building code requirements for flood hazard areas.

There must be an adequate drainage system that removes floodwaters from the interior area of the crawlspace. The enclosed area should be drained within a reasonable time after a flood event. The type of drainage system will vary because of the site gradient and other drainage characteristics, such as soil types. Possible options include natural drainage through porous, well-drained soils and drainage systems such as perforated pipes, drainage tiles or gravel or crushed stone drainage by gravity or mechanical means.

The velocity of floodwaters at the site should not exceed five feet per second for any crawlspace. For velocities in excess of five feet per second, other foundation types should be used.

There is a charge added to the basic policy premium for a below-grade crawlspace.

FIGURE 2-8: REQUIREMENTS OF BELOW-GRADE CRAWLSPACE CONSTRUCTION

EE.

Floodways. Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Subsection 12.04.090(G) are areas designed as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply:

Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other development unless certification by a registered professional civil engineer is provided demonstrating through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed using current nationally accepted hydrologic models meeting the minimum requirement of National Flood Insurance Program that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.

If Subsection (EE)(1) is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Subsections T through EE.

Compensatory Storage Required. Each cubic foot of fill placed within special flood hazard area (SFHA) requires developer to remove one and one-half cubic feet of fill from a hydraulically equivalent site.

FF.

Before Regulatory Floodway Designation. In areas where a regulatory floodway has not been designated, no new construction, substantial improvements, or other development (including fill) shall be permitted within Zones A1-A30 and AE on the community's FIRM, unless it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any point within the community. Compensatory Storage Required. Each cubic foot of fill placed within SFHA requires developer to remove 1½ cubic feet of fill from a hydraulically equivalent site.

GG.

Critical Facility. Construction of new critical facilities shall be located outside the limits of the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), Zone AE (100-year floodplain) and Zone X (500-year floodplain). Construction of new critical facilities shall be permissible within these zones only through the variance process. Access to and from the critical facility shall be protected to the height of the base flood. Flood-proofing and sealing measures must be taken to ensure that toxic substances will not be displaced by or released into floodwaters. Access routes elevated to or above the base flood elevation shall be provided to all critical facilities to the extent possible.

As-builts shall provide the dimensions and grades of all required driveways and maneuvering/parking areas, the dimensions and location(s) of any retaining walls, the grades of all slopes exceeding 12% as well as the toe and crest of such slopes, and the location of all property lines and foundations of all structures, in addition to any other elements required upon Site Plan Review. As-builts shall be drawn at 1 in. = 20 ft. or larger scale with elevation contours at intervals of no more than two feet.

Exceptions. If an applicant can meet any or all of the criteria listed below, the Director may waive applicable requirements of this Section.

Submit evidence that slopes in excess of 12% do not exist on the subject property or a written and stamped statement from a Geotechnical Engineer or Engineering Geologist that the area of the property impacted by the proposed work will be sufficiently set back from any slopes exceeding 12% and therefore no geologic hazards are increased.

Demonstrate that the proposed work will comply with a Geotechnical Report that was previously prepared for the site and that all conditions noted in the Report are still present.

Construction proposed is on land that has a grade less than 12% and is set back 10 or more feet from slopes that do not exceed a 2:1 slope.

Construction is proposed that does not require a building or grading permit.

Development criteria and standards. When a proposal is submitted for land division, Planned Unit Development and/or Site Plan Review, said development shall comply with the following criteria and standards:

Density Transfers: The permitted density established by the underlying zoning may be increased for lands in the Hillside Development Overlay by transferring the rights to develop an area of land with qualifying slopes to another location contiguous to said areas. The area to be developed does not need to be within the Overlay. In addition to increasing the density of one portion of land by not developing another portion, the density may be further increased based on the total area of the undeveloped land and the "Level" for which the grade of the slopes qualify (see below). The total acreage of undeveloped slopes may be combined to determine the number of additional dwelling units, however, the number of additional dwelling units shall be based on whole numbers and not portions thereof. For example, if 1.95 acres of Level 2 and 0.5 acre of Level 3 are undeveloped, the total number of dwelling units that may be added to the density transfer is five based on the following calculation: (1.95ac X 2 du) + (0.5ac X 4du) = 5.9 dwelling units.

Level 1 - the density increase for sites with slopes greater than 12% and up to 25% shall be increased by one unit per acre of the qualifying sloped area.

Level 2 - the density increase for sites with slopes greater than 25% and up to 35% shall be increased by two units per acre of the qualifying sloped area.

Level 3 - the density increase for sites with slopes greater than 35% shall be increased by four units per acre of the qualifying sloped area.

For the purposes of calculating density for this section, duplexes shall count as one unit.

In order to verify allowed increases in densities, calculations shall be provided with the application and documented with a topographic map that delineates the land area of each Level that shall be prepared and stamped by a licensed Professional Land Surveyor. As a condition of density transfer, a deed restriction that ensures permanent retention of the undisturbed land area as open space shall be recorded with the Douglas County Clerk within 30 days of the site review approval and delineated as an easement on the recorded plat if a partition, subdivision or PUD is approved as part of the density transfer.

Location/Features.

Cluster, zero-lot-line, and other similar development is permitted in the Hillside Development Overlay and is encouraged as a means of preserving the natural hillside, reducing ground disturbances, and limiting vegetation removal. Under this concept, buildings should be grouped to leave steeper slopes undisturbed.

Development plans are to indicate slope percentages by shading. If density increases are requested, plans are to include calculations to indicate the amount of area and available density to be applied elsewhere within the development.

Building Height Measurement.

The maximum allowable building height shall comply with the underlying zoning standards.

Building height shall be measured as the vertical distance from the average plane of the exposed foundation to the highest point of the roof exclusive of chimneys, antennas, skylights, and similar features. The average plane of the exposed foundation shall be calculated as follows: assign a numeric value of zero to the lowest corner of the exposed foundation; measure the elevation of all other exposed foundation corners relative to the lowest corner; calculate the average elevation of all exposed foundation corners. For split-level construction, each foundation shall be measured separately (refer to Figure 2-10: Building Height Measurement). Multi-level structures are encouraged to provide step-backs as a way of reducing the mass and bulk of such structures. No more than eight feet of a buildings foundation shall be exposed. For the purposes of this Section, exposed shall be interpreted as not being covered by earth.

FIGURE 2-10: BUILDING HEIGHT MEASUREMENT

Lot Size. Minimum lot sizes and dimensions in the Hillside Development Overlay shall be established upon approval of a land division or Planned Unit Development based on the following minimum standards:

Minimum lot area may deviate from the standards of this Code based on the adjusted density granted by a Density Transfer, but no lot shall be less than 3,000 square feet for a single-family dwelling or duplex.

Lot width and depth may be less than required by Subsection 12.12.010(M) of this Code, but no lot shall have a depth of more than two and one-half (2½) times the average width between the side lines.

Except as otherwise permitted for townhouses, each lot shall have frontage of not less than 35 feet upon a street.

Adjusted lot sizes shall conform to mitigation measures identified in the Geotechnical Report.

Yard Setbacks. Lots shall provide yard setbacks consistent with the underlying zoning, those allowed by an approved PUD or those recommended in an approved Geotechnical Report.

Pads. Split pad or stepped footings shall be used when possible to allow the structure to more closely follow the slope.

Foundations.

Foundations shall be in conformance with the requirements of Geotechnical Report and if required designed by a Professional Engineer as provided by ORS 672.002 to 672.325.

Split-level foundations are encouraged when appropriate for the site contours.

When appropriate, based on recommendations included in the Geotechnical Report, multi-level building footprint shall be used to reduce scarring.

Access Standards

Streets shall meet the standards included in the latest adopted City of Roseburg Transportation System Plan and as adopted by the Department of Public Works construction standards that are in effect at the time of the proposed development.

Alternative street standards depicted herein may be used in Hillside Developments as shown in Figure 2-11: Hillside Street Alternatives, unless otherwise required by the Public Works Director and justified by the Geotechnical Report. Dead-end streets shall have an approved turn-around area; however, dead-end streets are discouraged.

Streets are to follow the natural terrain wherever feasible. Travel-ways, walkways, and parking areas are to be designed to parallel the natural contours of the site.

Driveways used to access onsite parking shall comply with Subsection 12.06.030(J) and the following criteria:

The inside turning radius and outside turning radius shall not be less than 28 feet and 48 feet respectively, measured from the center point to provide for emergency apparatus access.

With the approval of the Fire Chief, driveways that are greater than 100 feet in length may have intermittent sections of grades up to a maximum of 20% provided that:

The 100-foot distance back from the structure maintains the 15% grade described herein.

ii.

Travel widths, turnouts, and level pad areas are provided as determined necessary for fire protection and emergency access purposes.

iii.

An approved fire apparatus turnaround area having a grade no greater than 10% is provided.

Driveways shall conform to the width requirements of Subsection 12.06.030(J); however, the Public Works Director and the Fire Chief may require additional width in order to meet the purpose and intent of this Code.

Parking shall meet the requirements of Subsection 12.06.020(A); in addition, when driveways serving commercial, industrial or multi-family development exceed 150 feet in length, one additional onsite paved parking area shall be provided for each additional 50 feet up to a maximum of five spaces.

**	Sidewalks required on both sides of street unless the natural cross slope exceeds 15 percent or approved by Public Works Director.
***	Allowed where a demonstrated projection of a lack of bike use or where the cost of bike lane improvements would be excessively disproportionate to the need or probable use.

Lanes may have an offset centerline to allow wider uphill lanes to accommodate bicycles.

General requirements. The following requirements are generally the minimums that apply to lands shown on the City of Roseburg Slope Map or having a slope of greater than 12%; however, based on information provided by an accepted and approved Geotechnical Report verifying that the intent and purpose of this Code are being carried out and appropriate mitigations are identified and in place, the Director is authorized to allow for the recommendations contained in said report that may differ from the strict application of the following:

Development Time Periods. Grading, drainage improvements, or other ground disturbances on slopes of greater than 12% shall occur from April 15 to October 15; however, nothing in this Code shall preclude immediate action to be taken in cases of emergency.

Grading Requirements. Preliminary grading plans shall be consistent with the latest version of the International Building Code (IBC) and shall comply with the provisions of this Chapter.

Excavation Requirements. Excavation requirements shall be consistent with the latest version of the IBC.

Cut Requirements. The slope of cut surfaces shall be no steeper than is safe for intended use and shall be no steeper than 2:1 as shown on Figure 2-9: Percent/Slope Calculations, unless approved by a Geotechnical Report.

Fill Requirements. Ground surfaces shall be prepared to receive fill by removing vegetation, topsoil, and other unstable materials, and scarifying the ground to provide a bond with the fill material.

Where existing grade is at a slope steeper than 5:1 (20%) and the depth of the fill exceeds five feet, benching shall be provided in accordance with Figure 2-13: Benching Details.

ii.

Fill material shall not include organic, frozen, or other deleterious material. No rock or similar irreducible material greater than 12 inches in any dimension shall be included in fills.

iii.

All fill materials shall be compacted to a minimum of 95% of maximum density per ASTM D-698 Standard Proctor Test.

Cut and fill slopes shall be set back from property lines in accordance with this Chapter. Slope setback distances shall be measured perpendicular to the property line and shall be as shown in Figure 2-14: Drainage Dimensions.

The slope setback at the top of a cut slope shall be as shown in Figure 2-14, or what is required to accommodate any required interceptor drains.

FIGURE 2-14: DRAINAGE DIMENSIONS SOURCE IBC 2003

Where required to protect against adjacent properties at the toe of a slope from adverse effects of the grading, additional protection shall be included. Such protection may include but shall not be limited to:

Setbacks greater than those required by Figure 2-14: Drainage Dimensions.

ii.

Provisions for retaining walls or similar construction.

iii.

Erosion protection of the cut and fill slopes.

iv.

Provision for the control of surface water.

Erosion Control Requirements. Erosion control measures shall meet the latest adopted DEQ Erosion and Sediment Control Manual for erosion control requirements, including but not limited to:

Construction of any building that disturbs one acre or more of land through clearing, grading, excavating, or stockpiling of fill material requires a DEQ 1200-C NPDES General Permit. This permit requires an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and Best Management Practices (BMP) to be incorporated into land-disturbing construction work. BMPs are used on the project site to prevent erosion and control sediment runoff from the project site. Erosion control BMPs can be found in DEQ Construction Storm Water Permit Guidance 1200-C NPDES General Permit (2006).

For construction on land of less than one acre, the minimum BMPs to consider include:

•	A responsible agent shall be designated during project construction.
•	Scheduling to avoid earth-disturbing activities during wet weather.
•	Perimeter sediment controls.
•	Storm-drain inlet protection.
•	Site entrance and exit controls.
•	Non-storm Water pollution controls, such as materials use and waste management BMPs.
•	Covering or otherwise protecting stockpiles.
•	Projects that include slopes susceptible to erosion, including runoff and erosion prevention measures (see DEQ Erosion and Sediment Control Manual Sections 4 and 5 respectively).
•	The designated project agent or engineer should inspect BMPs regularly to identify areas in need of maintenance or improvement to minimize pollutant discharges.
•	Provide and maintain check dams in area where a concentration of water runoff may transport sediment.

All man-made slopes four feet or higher are to be planted with plantings suited to hillsides that will aid in erosion control and slope stability. Such plantings are to be appropriately irrigated until established and are self-sufficient.

Storm Water Drainage Requirements. Storm Water drainage shall meet the City's current storm water design requirements in the latest version of City of Roseburg Storm Water Management Design Standards.

Construction Standards shall meet the requirements in the latest adopted City of Roseburg Public Work's Construction Specifications and Standards Drawings.

Encroachment in the public right-of-way shall not be permitted, unless an encroachment permit is granted by the Public Works Department.

Terraces and Retaining Structures.

Steep cut or fill slopes greater than 2:1 shall be retained with engineered retaining structures, such as stacked rock, retaining walls, rock buttresses or a functional equivalent engineered structure to control erosion and stabilize slope.

Cut and fill faces on terraced sections shall not exceed a maximum height of 15 feet.

Terrace widths shall be a minimum of three feet for vegetation.

Total cut slopes are not to exceed a maximum vertical height of 40 feet, provided that there is terracing at least every 15 feet in height to discourage massive slopes and encourage terraced landscape slopes.

Retaining structures four feet or greater in height, as measured from the bottom of the footing to the highest point, are required to be engineered. Retaining structures at the toe of a slope or within six feet of a foundation shall be engineered regardless of height.

Retaining structures shall follow the natural contours of the slope where feasible, and all materials used to construct retaining structures shall consist of native stone, poured-in-place concrete, pre-cast concrete block, or other approved material determined to be similar to and consistent with the those materials listed herein.

Vegetation requirements.

When a Geotechnical Report is required, it shall inventory all existing vegetation that contributes to the stability of the slope. The Report shall also provide a site map that accurately documents the type, characteristics and location of vegetation that is recommended to remain for slope stability.

The removal of any vegetation from slopes greater than 12%, including trees, shall only be done when the required Geotechnical Report determines specific vegetation is not necessary to maintain the stability of the slopes.

Notwithstanding the provision listed above; generally, thinning is preferred over removal of native and specimen trees.

Ground disturbances outside the established building pad are to be done in such a manner so that the maximum number of trees can be preserved with care taken to preserve specimen trees. Trees that are determined to be essential for slope stability shall be flagged and fencing shall be erected at the edge of each drip line. Any vegetation cited as being essential to slope stability shall be replaced with similar vegetation if said vegetation is damaged or removed.

Blasting. Blasting methods shall be consistent with Section 00335 - Blasting Methods and Protection of Excavation Backslopes in ODOT/APWA Oregon Standards Specifications Part 00300 - Roadwork (2002), and be in conformance with the requirements of this Code.

Enforcement. The City's enactment and enforcement of this Code shall not be construed for the benefit of any individual person or group of persons other than the general public. As provided herein, the Community Development Director is given the authority to interpret, apply, and enforce this Code to accomplish the stated purpose. The City may withhold, condition, or deny development permits or activity approvals to ensure that the proposed action is consistent with this Code.

The City is authorized to make site inspections and take such actions as necessary to enforce the provisions of this Code. A City representative may enter onto private property with the consent of the owner, occupant, or pursuant to warrant. When a designated hillside area has been altered in violation of this Code, all ongoing development work shall stop and the area shall be restored. The City shall have the authority to issue a stop work order to cease all ongoing development work, and order restoration, rehabilitation, or replacement measures at the owner's or other responsible party's expense to compensate for violation of provisions of this Code. Any development carried out contrary to the provisions in this Code shall constitute a public nuisance and pose a risk to the public health, safety, and welfare.

§ 12.04.110 Historic Districts Overlay.

Site review for registered historic resources. The purpose of historic preservation is to preserve, protect, maintain, and enhance those historic resources which represent or reflect elements of the cultural, social, economic, political, and architectural history. Historic resources are the sites, buildings, structures, objects, natural features, or specific districts that relate to events or conditions of our past. Protected resources will provide educational value, enjoyment, and economic diversification as well as beautification of the City and enhancement of property values. This Section is intended to allow the City to review any changes including alterations, remodel, additions, demolitions, and/or new construction proposals at the time of site review to ensure that registered historic resources are preserved.

Historic resources. For the purposes of this Section, historic resources which are defined as sites, buildings, properties, or features within the Roseburg City limits that have been inventoried and/or are located within a designated historic district or otherwise listed on the City of Roseburg Historic Resource Register, the Douglas County Historic Resource Register and/or the National Register of Historic Places. Designated historic districts are shown on the following page in Figure 16: Historic Districts Overlay.

FIGURE 2-16: HISTORIC DISTRICTS OVERLAY

Exterior remodeling/alteration procedure. Upon receipt by the Community Development Department of all site plan review requests for exterior alteration of a historic resource, the Community Development Director shall within 15 working days, review the permit application for completeness and refer the request to the Historic Resource Review Commission to review the permit request within 30 working days of the date the complete application was submitted. The Historic Resource Review Commission shall review the permit request and shall:

The Commission may request the Director and/or applicant to seek assistance through referrals from the appropriate agencies and organizations, which may include: The State Historic Preservation Office, the Douglas County Museum, and the Douglas County Historic Resource Review Committee.

Exterior alterations/additions to historic resources. This Section applies to all contributing, significant, primary, historic, eligible or similarly classified historic resources. Affirmative findings shall be documented addressing the following guidelines based upon their relative importance.

Retention of original construction. All original exterior materials and details shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible.

Height. Additional stories may be added to historic building and zoning codes.

The added height complies with requirements of the building and zoning codes.

The added height does not exceed that which was traditional for the style of the building.

The added height does not alter the traditional scale and proportions of the building style.

The added height is visually compatible with adjacent historic resources.

Bulk. Horizontal additions may be added to historic buildings provided that:

The bulk of the additions do not exceed that which was traditional for the building style.

The addition maintains the traditional scale and proportion of the building style.

The addition is visually compatible with adjacent historic resources.

Visual Integrity of Structure. The lines of columns, piers, spandrels, and other primary structural elements shall be maintained so far as is practicable.

Scale and Proportion. The scale and proportion of altered or added building elements, the relationship of voids to solids (window to wall) shall be visually compatible with traditional architectural character of the historic building.

Materials and Texture. In-kind materials and textures shall be used in the alteration or addition of historic resources. Exterior alteration or addition shall follow the requirements of the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Historic Preservation Projects and the Historic Preservation League of Oregon's Rehab Oregon Right manual.

Signs, lighting, and other appurtenances. Signs, exterior lighting, and other appurtenances, such as walls, fences, awnings, and landscaping shall be visually compatible with the traditional architectural character of the historic resource.

New construction/additions to non-historic resources. This Section applies to all non-historic, noncontributing, secondary, ineligible or similarly classified property within Roseburg's Historic Districts. New construction on a vacant lot within a historic district or on a property, lot, parcel or site designated as a nonhistoric, non-contributing, compatible, secondary and/or not-eligible historic resource can enhance the existing character if the proposed design reflects an understanding of, and is compatible with, the distinctive character of the setting and associated resources. Affirmative findings shall be documented addressing the following guidelines based upon their relative importance:

Siting New and Relocated Buildings. New, added or relocated buildings are sited according to features of the surrounding neighborhood and the overall character of the historic area in terms of orientation, distance to adjacent buildings, traditional setback, and retention of important site features per the requirements of the Secretary of Interior's Standards of Historic Preservation Project and the Historic Preservation League of Oregon's Rehab Oregon Right manual and as follows:

Orientation. The new or relocated building is oriented in a manner to maintain the traditional pattern of the block.

Distance. The distance between the new or relocated building and the adjacent historic resource is compatible with the spacing between existing resources on the same street.

Setback. The setback of the new or relocated building is consistent with the setback of adjacent historic resources on the street.

Design. The overall character of the new construction or relocated building is compatible with existing site features (landscaping, garages and driveways, if applicable) and the traditional character of the surrounding area.

Height. The proportion of the new or relocated building is compatible with the average height of the traditional character of the surroundings.

Bulk and Scale. The bulk and/or proportions (size, mass, and/or volume) of any new or relocated building are compatible with the traditional character of the surrounding. Examine the massing of nearby buildings (whether symmetrical or asymmetrical, central block or L-shape), and design the new building with similar bulk.

Materials. The materials are consistent with the predominant materials and finishes found on other resources in the surrounding area. Examine the color, texture, pattern, composition, and scale of neighboring historic resources.

Width. The proportion of the new or relocated buildings is compatible with the average width and massing of the neighboring buildings. If a building is wider than other buildings on the block, the facade should be broken up into narrower bays that reflect the common historic widths.

Specific Design Elements. Design elements need to be compatible with the existing character of the surroundings with consideration for, but not limited to:

Roof Form. Visually, the roof form is the most important element in the overall building form. Keep roof forms consistent with the shapes traditionally used.

Windows and Doors. Keep the proportions and pattern of window and door opening similar to neighboring historic buildings. Keep the rhythm of solids (walls) and voids (windows and doors) consistent with the dominant pattern set in the area.

Exterior Siding. Select siding material that is compatible with the historic materials used in the neighborhood. Only use substitute siding materials if similar in style to those used historically.

Architectural Details. Architectural features are to complement the details and style of the neighboring historic buildings. Architectural elements such as eave details, window trim, water tables, and cornices help new buildings blend in with surrounding resources.

Minor project review and approval by the Community Development Director. The Community Development Director may approve projects listed within this Subsection that comply with adopted Design Guidelines cited in this Section. The Director retains the option to refer Minor Projects to the Historic Resource Review Commission for approval.

Minor Projects review by the Director shall be limited to:

(Ord. 3561, § 4, 6-28-2021)

§ 12.04.130 Riparian Habitat Protection Overlay.

Purpose. The intent of this Section is to provide riparian habitat protection to lands adjacent to the South and North Umpqua Rivers, Newton Creek and Deer Creek. All are major waterways that are scenic, recreational, and are a natural resource of the community. They are to be protected, preserved, and maintained for their primary function as drainage courses first. Any measures taken to sustain their primary function shall minimize adverse impacts on scenic, recreational, and natural values.

Applicability. Mature ground cover and trees, wildlife habitats, and the natural contours of identified significant stream banks shall be preserved as noted herein. For the distances noted in Table 3-2: Riparian Habitat Setbacks, measured from the top of the stream bank, there shall be a setback of structures, impervious surfaces, retaining walls, channel alterations, etc. from the top of the stream bank. For the purposes of this Section, the top of the stream bank shall be as determined by the Community Development Director acting with the advice of the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

TABLE 2-15: RIPARIAN HABITAT SETBACKS
SETBACKS
Water Body	All Residential zones, except Public Reserve and Residential Open Space	All Commercial and Industrial zones and Public Reserve and Residential Open Space
South Umpqua River	50 feet	50 feet
Newton Creek	25 feet	50 feet
Deer Creek	25 feet	50 feet

Exceptions. Findings shall be made by the Community Development Director, after consulting with the Department of Fish and Wildlife pursuant to Subsection 12.10.010(L) of this Code, that a proposed reduction in setback:

Will not have a significant adverse impact on stream bank erosion, water temperature and quality, or wildlife, or

Is required for flood control, and actions are taken to mitigate such impacts as much as is possible; or

Is not required for flood control and will include all actions as are necessary to prevent or sufficiently mitigate any significant stream bank erosion, adverse impact on water temperature and quality, or wildlife, and such mitigation measures are specified; and

Is not in conflict with any adopted drainage ordinance or plans. The setback variance criteria of this Subsection are not required to meet the variance criteria contained in Section 12.10.050 of this Code.

§ 12.04.140 Pine Street Waterfront Overlay.

Purpose. The Pine Street Waterfront Overlay (PSWO) promotes a unique riverfront commercial district along a shared multi-use path. The Overlay is intended to enhance the character of the district by improving multi-modal transportation through pedestrian-friendly and traffic-calming design standards. It will maintain compatibility with existing historic structures while promoting a mix of uses to encourage new small- and medium-scale development. Permitted uses are oriented toward maintaining and promoting the pedestrian character of the area and include residential dwellings with commercial uses, restaurants, sidewalk cafes, retail sales and professional offices, bed and breakfast facilities, and parks and playgrounds. The segment of Pine Street located within the Overlay connects to bike and walking trails around the city, and the Transportation System Plan identifies this area as a multi-use path rather than a street; this means that pedestrians and cyclists take priority.

Applicability. As illustrated in Figure 2-17 Pine Street Waterfront Overlay, the regulations of the PSWO apply to the area bounded by:

•	To the north, the edge of Deer Creek;
•	To the east, the edge of the railroad right-of-way;
•	To the south, the edge of SE Douglas Avenue; and
•	To the west, the edge of the S. Umpqua River

Development Zone.

Site and Building Standards. The Development Zone is illustrated in Figure 2-20 Pine Street Plan.

Figure 2-20: Pine Street Plan shows the developable area within the PSWO. It is bounded by the Riparian Setback (along the South Umpqua River) and the eastern edge of Pine Street. Within this area there are separate development requirements for:

•	Pine Street Multi-Use Path (including the Flex Zones)
•	Pine Street private properties. (private buildable zone Figure 2-19 Plan Diagram)

Pine Street Multi-Use Path Intent Statement. The Pine Street Multi-Use Path has an overall width of 29 feet. The Through Zone provides a consistent 20-foot clear width, which is required for emergency vehicle access. Along both sides of the Through Zone are designated 9-foot wide Flex Zones. Vertical features such as bollards, planters, or poles are required in the Flex Zone, in an alternating pattern of bulbouts, creating a chicane path for motor vehicles. The staggered or offset pattern of bulbouts creates a visual narrowing of the Through Zone while preserving a consistent 20-foot width.

Upon redevelopment or a change in use, each property owner dedicates land for both the Flex Zones and the overall path width. The location and design of the bulbouts is determined by the width of the lot. Bulbout uses vary, and may include landscaping, parking, food carts, or outdoor dining at the discretion of each property owner. See Flex Zone Bulbouts on pages 20-23 of the Pattern Book and Vertical Features on pages 32-35 of the Pattern Book .

Private Properties Intent Statement. Buildings within the PSWO are small-scale with house-like forms that meet the edge of the Pine Street Multi-Use Path. Buildings may sit along the Pine Street Edge or be set back, allowing for semi-public activities in the Front Yard. Porches and plaza-like spaces in the Front Yard enhance the pedestrian experience.

The Development and Design Standards are listed in Table 2-17 Pine Street Multi-Use Path Standards and Table 2-18 Vertical Features and Landscaping Standards.

Architectural Standards. The purpose of this section is to ensure that alterations to historic structures and new development are consistent with the vision for Pine Street. New buildings and historic building alterations should retain the character of the Pine Street Waterfront Overlay and promote small-scale, pedestrian-oriented development. The Overlay, combined with The Pattern Book, addresses detailed building design standards for new construction and design guidelines for historic structures.

Signage. The following language addresses signage within the PSWO.

Pine Street Edge Signage. While SE Douglas Avenue is the front door of the district, the Pine Street Edge is intended to have a uniquely different character. Controlling the size and appearance of signs will contribute to the small-scale, pedestrian-oriented character of Pine Street. Signs shall be scaled primarily for bike and pedestrian traffic and shall be visible from a distance of 100 feet.

Riparian Setback Signage. Signage along the riparian setback should be scaled for pedestrians, with a focus on double-sided signs.

Through Connection Signage. Signage along pedestrian paths serving multiple buildings on deep lots should be scaled for pedestrians, with a focus on double-sided signs.

Standards and Criteria.

The standards of Section 12.08.020 Signs apply, except as modified below.

Logos. Logos are allowed in addition to the permitted wall signs listed above, provided that the total square footage of the permitted wall signs and the logos do not exceed a combined area of three square feet per lineal foot of building wall for first story businesses and one and one-half square feet per linear foot of building wall for second story businesses. A permit is required for each logo that is being installed based on the square footage of the proposed logo.

Illumination from Signs. External illumination shall be shielded so that the light source elements are not directly visible from residential uses within the Pine Street district.

Exempt Signs. Refer to section 12.08.020(C).

Prohibited Signs. Refer to section 12.08.020(D).

Permit Procedures. Refer to section 12.08.020(E).
