(or would be if joined in the Third Party Claim ), ODOT shall contribute to the amount of
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually

incorporated herein) constitute the entire agreement between the parties on the subject

and all necessary approvals have been obtained. Budget modifications and adjustments
from the work described in Exhibit A must be processed as an amendment(s) to this
Agreement and the PSK. No waiver or consent shall be effective unless in writing and
signed by the party against whom such waiver or consent is asserted. Such waiver,
consent, modification or change, if made, shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose given. The failure of ODOT to enforce any provision of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver by ODOT of that or any other provision.
G. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts (facsimile or
otherwise) all of which when taken together shall constitute one agreement binding on all
parties, notwithstanding that all parties are not signatories to the same counterpart. Each
copy of this Agreement so executed shall constitute an original.

Transportation to the Operations Deputy Director and Transportation Development
Division Administrator, to approve agreements with local governments, other state

PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Project Purpose/Transportation Relationship and Benefit
The Normal Avenue Neighborhood Plan (Plan) will guide future development to provide for a compact
urban form which better accommodates needed housing types, creates a system of greenways, protects
and integrates natural features, enhances overall mobility while reducing reliance on the automobile, and
- 15 -

EA#TG12LA55
supports green infrastructure within the Project Area. Given the project area's central location, it
presents an opportunity for a concentration of housing and neighborhood services in a manner that
supports efficient land use and transit-oriented development.
Project Area
Normal Avenue neighborhood, situated between East Main Street in the north and railroad tracks in the
south, Clay Street in the east and the Ashland Middle School in the west. Currently, the 94 acre area has
a mix of Comprehensive Plan designations including single family residential and suburban residential,
and is presently outside the City of Ashland (City) city limits but within the City Urban Growth
Boundary (UGB).
See attached Map.
Background
Residential development in the Project Area has historically been low density- rural residential large lot
single family homes- consistent with Jackson County (County) zoning standards. Unfortunately, this
pattern of large lot development did not fully consider opportunities for further intensification of land
use nor achieve the densities provided for in City's Comprehensive Plan.
Project Area constitutes the largest remaining area of residentially designated land that is suitable for
medium- to high-density development which remains largely vacant or redevelopable. However, City's
current Comprehensive Plan anticipates this area will primarily develop as low density and suburban
residential upon annexation into the City. City is concerned that these planned densities may be
insufficient to accommodate projected population growth and support a high level of transit service. In
2010, City received a pre-application to annex an individual parcel within the Project Area with a
proposed density over twice that of the future zoning anticipated in the underlying Comprehensive Plan.
Such high density housing would be supportive of transit and help City maintain a tight urban form. It is
City's intention to update the current Comprehensive Plan to provide for a coordinated approach to
planning the entire area.
This Normal Avenue Neighborhood Plan project (Project)will implement policies of the
Comprehensive Plan's Transportation Element and City Transportation System Plan(TSP), currently
being updated and likely adopted spring 2012, which aim to reduce automobile dependency by
providing enhanced pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connections between the Normal Avenue
Neighborhood to the rest of the City. The integrated land use and transportation plan will provide a
circulation plan identifying new local streets, bike and pedestrian paths, transit route opportunities, and
consolidated access points to the adjacent major arterial street (East Main Street). The Project will seek
to implement policies of the Ashland Comprehensive Plan including the provision openspace and
greenways within an area of compact transit oriented development.
Given its centralized location, equidistant between the downtown and commercial center surrounding I-
5 interchange 14, the property is well-positioned to accommodate a concentration of a variety of housing
in an area where multi-modal transportation options are likely to be convenient and utilized. City's
Central Bike Path borders the south side of the Project Area and provides ready access to pedestrians
and bicyclists to the City's commercial centers, schools,and recreation opportunities. Along the
- 1F-

TGM File Code 3A-11
EA#TG 12LA55
northern boundary of the Project Area is East Main Street which is a main arterial which previously was
served by the Rogue Valley Transportation District's Route 15 bus line. The Draft TSP projects the
Project Area will have transit supporting densities upon build-out under the current comprehensive plan
designations. The success of transit is largely a factor of the residential or job densities served by the
line, and as such the efficient development of these lands will support and enhance the existing
transportation system.
The Project Area includes the largest locally significant wetland within City's UGB, totaling about five
acres in size. The area includes sections of Clay Creek and Cemetery Creek. Preservation and
enhancement of these existing wetlands and streams will provide amenities that benefit the area and City
as a whole. A coordinated planning effort to accommodate needed housing types in an efficient manner
in consideration of these natural resources supports the long-term vision of City.
Timeliness
As City continues to promote a compact urban form through efficient land use, the development
pressure on lands currently outside the city limits yet within the UGB has increased. City recently
identified no new growth areas through the Regional Problem Solving process between County and local
municipalities. This position is reliant on the expectation that City continues to accommodate future
population growth within the existing UGB throughout the Regional Problem Solving planning period.
As such, it is imperative that.City examines opportunities to most efficiently urbanize remaining lands,
secure multi-modal transportation options, build upon the City's system of greenways as identified in
the Parks and Openspace Plan, and remain sensitive to environmental constraints in relation to future
development potential. This Project is not contingent upon the ultimate approval of the Regional
Problem Solving plan, but rather supports the position that future urbanization should occur within
City's existing UGB to accommodate future growth.
City recently adopted new ordinances regulating the protection of wetlands and riparian area(chapter
18.63 of the Ashland Land Use Ordinance), which went into effect in January, 2010. Project Area
contains both significant wetlands and locally designated streams which would be impacted by future
development within County or upon annexation. Plan will serve as a demonstration of how future
development can occur in a manner that is sensitive to these vital natural resources.
City is currently conducting an update of City's TSP funded in large part through the Transportation and
Growth Management program. Anticipating higher residential densities where appropriate will assist in
the development of the Updated TSP in factoring such densities to support a high level of transit service.
Future updates of the pedestrian and bicycle circulation elements will also benefit from identified
linkages both internally and to nearby transit stops. The Plan will follow up the momentum established
with review and adoption of the Updated TSP with specific neighborhood planning to implement
portions of the Updated TSP.
Project Objectives
• Increase efficiency in the use of land through concentration of housing in a centrally located area
within the City UGB planned for future urban development;
- 17-
TGM Grant Agreement No.28461
TGM File Code 3A-11
EA#TG12LA55
• Achieve a development pattern that results in a balanced, multi-modal transportation system and
that enhances opportunities for walking, bicycling or using transit in areas planned for transit
service;
• Delineate housing, neighborhood serving commercial, open space, public space, and green
infrastructure improvements, in a manner that provides for preservation and enhancement of
creeks and wetlands;
• Develop new illustrative conceptual architectural and site plans for Project Area consistent with
Transportation and Growth Management objectives. Concepts will meet City's and the property
owners' development goals and standards.
• Design a local street grid for the Project Area including connections to existing and planned
street, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities outside Project Area, to more fully integrate the Project
Area into the City transportation system;
• Provide for pedestrian and bicycle routes and facility improvements within the Project Area that
will provide safe access to local schools;
• Provide alternatives to, or delay the need for, expansion of the City UGB;
• Reduce emissions that contribute to climate change through changes to transportation or land use
plans that reduce expected automobile vehicle miles traveled;
• Provide an implementation strategy that includes supporting Comprehensive Plan and updated
TSP amendments, form based codes, and design standards; and
• Present the Plan and documentation necessary to support adoption to City's Planning
Commission(PC) and City Council (Council).
