Appendix II

Industry Profiles for Site Certification

A. Heavy Industrial/Manufacturing—This category is intended to include industries typically described as plants, factories or mills engaged in mechanical or chemical transformations of raw materials or substances into new products. Usually very energy- and capital-intensive, these industries are generally ones that due to impacts or appearance may be unsuitable near other uses.

B. General Manufacturing—This category includes industries utilizing less intensive manufacturing processes, better described as assembly, relative to the Heavy Industrial/Manufacturing category above. Also, these types of facilities are more typically one step removed from wholesalers, but they do not serve a “high tech” market. Generally, these industries may be located on individual sites or in business/industrial parks and have less affect on surrounding uses. This category also includes some industrial service uses that are engaged in serving other businesses such as an industrial laundry facility.

C. Food Processing—Generally, this category includes industries that manufacture or process foods and beverages for human or animal consumption. Although this category has similar site characteristics as general manufacturing, but the unique needs, such as high-volume water demand, warrant the distinction.

D. High Tech Manufacturing/Processing—This category includes producers of high-technology goods, in terms of manufacturing and processing and not assembly. There are likely borderline cases between this category and that of Category ‘E’—Campus Industrial/Electronic and Computer Assembly. Generally, this category includes those uses that have special site needs such as high volume water and/or pressure demand, back-up secondary electrical service, hazardous chemical requirements and sensitivity to vibration and noise.

E. Campus Industrial/Electronic and Computer Assembly—This category includes industries that are primarily related to the assembly and light manufacturing of high technology and other electronic equipment/components, and may include a higher amount of office type space. Generally, this category includes uses that generally do not require major on-site utility services or utilize large quantities of hazardous chemicals, and can be located in most “campus-like” industrial parks.

Warehouse/Distribution—This category includes industries that furnish local or long-distance trucking or transfer services or are primarily engaged in the warehousing, storage (excluding self-service storage), wholesale and distribution of goods. Generally, this category includes uses that require relatively more site area devoted to loading and trailer storage since the primary function is related to the movement of goods.

Call Center/Business Services—This category includes operations more closely akin to commercial business functions, such as back office bulk processing, electronic commerce, service centers or broadcasting studios. Generally, this category will be rather employee intensive with attendant demands for greater parking and vehicle trips per day, but have more flexibility to be accommodated in multi-story buildings, compared to other profiles and most industrial uses.

F. Rural Industrial—This category is typically described as smaller, owner-managed companies or satellite facilities for dispersed processing. Often natural resource based, production may be relatively more labor intensive, but it does not always require highly technical skills. Rural industrial sites are not necessarily proximate to larger populations centers and draw from a workforce that will travel as much as an hour or more (each way) for good pay. Zoning should allow for a broad array of manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, processing, shipping and storage uses.

Wetland Determination Request Form‡

Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL)

775 Summer Street NE Suite 100, Salem OR 97301–1279

DSL conducts offsite wetland determinations on request. An offsite determination consists of reviewing wetlands and soils maps and other information to determine if wetlands or other regulated water bodies are present, likely to be present, or unlikely to be present.

Only an onsite check can verify whether or not there are regulated wetlands on a site. As time allows, DSL staff may be able to conduct a site visit to verify an offsite determination. Please allow 2–3 weeks for an initial response.

If wetlands are present or likely to be present near a project area, wetland verification and boundary delineation by a qualified wetland consultant is needed. Wetland delineation reports should then be submitted to DSL for concurrence.

‡Please provide the following information:

1. Vicinity map (like city map) indicating exact location of parcel(s).

2. Large-scale map (1" = 100' if possible) of the parcel(s) showing existing buildings, property boundaries, creeks and other features.

Appendix IX

Minimum Requirements To Trigger Field Inspection

A field visit is indispensable for certification and will normally be merited if and when these “must” criteria appear to be satisfied. Representation by the owner, municipality and key service providers is obligatory during the field visit.

All sites, regardless of selected industry profile, must meet the following criteria:

• Use is permitted outright by local land use zoning

• Site is inside UGB (or exempt from state goals)

• Outside 100–year floodplain*

• Site is free of impediments associated with:

o Contaminants*

o Wetlands*

o Protected species

o Cultural resources*

• Formal statement by landowner that site is for sale or lease†

• Local jurisdiction statement supporting site development

• ‘T1’ telecommunication service.

________________

*Alternatively, professional plan containing budget and implementation schedule to effectively mitigate/resolve problem in 180 or less days is prepared

†With specific disclosure of current asking price/rate

After the field visit, the final assessment for certification of the site is performed.

In addition to confirmation of facts and documentation, the site visit could reveal challenges that effectively prevent industrial development, including the selected industry profile, thus precluding certification. The following are examples of such challenges:

• Poor local road access to site

• Incompatible uses surrounding the site

• Excessively steep grade or other physical land features.

The other issues raised in this application are all imperative as considerations or risk factors for industrial real estate projects, but they cannot necessarily be rendered in absolute terms for all types of developments or business operations. Their substantiation is nevertheless essential for thoroughly characterizing an industrial site for certification.

-----------------------

[1] Provide street number if it exists, otherwise give best available information, such as road/street name, nearest crossroad, mileage marker, etc.

[2] See Appendix I for definition —actual “site” to be certified; it needs to be clearly outlined on all subsequent maps, w/scale & directional arrow.

[3] If there is such an option on property, the Tab–B documentation must fully explain and include copy of option agreement; option-holder then replaces owner for purposes of availability letter.

[4] One or both of these (sale and/or lease) needs to be checked, and at least one of the pricing boxes to the right must be filled in.

[5] Includes any building, structure, yard improvement, etc. (e.g., paved surfaces, fences); certification does not extend to the improvements, however, only that they are accounted for; special information would be architectural drawings (blueprints), engineering reports, specific to the improvements; reminder: aerial photography needs outline, scale and north directional arrow.

[6] Environmental study does not need to be technically current, provided that it is still substantively relevant to the site and was undertaken within the last few years.

[7] For roads, applicable plans generally mean smaller, more site-related improvements or mitigation projects, such as additional turn lane or signalization—but whether for this, or for railroad extension—plans must include cost estimate and clearly demonstrate local capital programming, funding sources and implementation schedule, so that the letting of contracts will occur, and the construction of infrastructure improvements will be fully underway, in 180 days or less, and can be completed commensurate with the development of site.

[8] Verify with ODOT Region Manager and local agency, regarding need for a TIS/TIA, either for site development or even for certification due to substantial system failure/current overcapacity.

[9] E.g., particulate matter (PM-10), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), etc. (Note: Virtually any Oregon locatd”f”Ì”ion is proximate enough to a Class I airshed to potentially trigger consideration of air modeling)

[10]These limits correspond to the ordinary high-water elevation for non-tidal waters or highest measured tide for tidal waters. (“Wetlands” means those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.)

[11]For example, virtual site development map overlay on top of, and corresponding to, the same scale as the site delineation map for each selected industry development profile.

[12]“Practicable” means available and capable of being done after taking into account cost, existing technology and logistics in light of overall purposes of potential development. A practicable alternative is one that is capable of being done (feasible), within 180 days or less time, and proposed to be available by the applicant for a prospective developer of the site.

[13]For conceptual wetland mitigation plan, plan must be in sufficient detail to demonstrate that functional replacement will be achieved, mitigation is “in-kind” (as appropriate) and mitigation ratios are adhered to and maintained.

[14]Successful completion of all items on this checklist does not guarantee that DSL (much less the US Army Corp of Engineers) will ultimately issue a removal-fill permits, as would likely be required to actually develop the site with the wetland mitigation plan. Removal-fill permit applications are subject to public review and comment period, and their approval depends on factual criteria under state and federal law.

[15]This may include records research, pedestrian survey, test pits, delineation of archaeological site(s), and/or other techniques or objectives, as warranted, which may necessitate that the archaeologist obtain a permit from SHPO, especially if the land is publicly owned and/or in the unlikely event that intrusive/ground-disturbing methods are anticipated.

[16]For fully/heavily filled site, this would likely matter only for construction other than “slab-on-grade” (e.g., pilings, basement), for which an appropriate precaution might be test borings.

[17]If compliance violation or moratorium will be fully resolved within 12 months from now, answer YES, but note issue in next step and include full, official explanation.

[18]If there is a compliance violation or moratorium, but the situation will be fully resolved within 12 months from now, answer YES, but note issue in next step and include full, official explanation for how and when resolution will occur.
