This Professional Services Agreement – Engineering Services (this “Agreement”) is dated June 25, 2025, but
made effective for all purposes as of February 14, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), and is entered into between City of
Shady Cove (“City”), an Oregon municipal corporation, whose address is 22451 Highway 62, Shady Cove, Oregon
97539, and RH2 Engineering, Inc. (“Contractor”), a Washington corporation, whose address is 22722 29th Drive SE,
Suite 210, Bothell, Washington 98021.
RECITAL:
City desires to retain Contractor to serve as City’s engineer of record concerning City related matters
and/or projects assigned by City from time-to-time. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement, Contractor will perform the Services (as defined below) for and on behalf of City.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the parties’ mutual obligations contained in this Agreement, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Engineering Services.
1.1 Services; Standards. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Contractor
will perform the following engineering and related services for and on behalf of City (collectively, the “Services”) if and
when requested by the city administrator from time to time: (a) those engineering and related services described on
the scope of services attached hereto as Schedule 1.1; (b) all other necessary or appropriate services customarily
provided by Contractor in connection with its performance of those services described on the attached Schedule 1.1;
and (c) any other engineering and related services that City may request from time to time under Section 1.2.
Contractor will (w) consult with and advice City on all matters concerning the Services reasonably requested by City, (x)
communicate all matters and information concerning the Services to the city administrator and perform the Services
under the general direction of the city administrator, (y) devote such time and attention to the performance of the
Services as City deems necessary or appropriate, and (z) perform the Services in accordance with the applicable
standard of care described in Section 4.2. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that City may cause or direct other
persons or contractors to provide services for and on behalf of City that are the same or similar to the Services
provided by Contractor under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “city administrator” means
City’s then-appointed city administrator or his or her designee.
1.2 On-Call – Task Order. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, in addition
to the Services identified under Section 1.1, City may request that Contractor perform certain additional Services from
time to time (i.e., Services not identified under Section 1.1(a) or 1.1(b)). City and Contractor will discuss the applicable
Services, including, without limitation, the anticipated fees and schedule for completing the Services (the
“Consultation”). After the Consultation, City will issue Contractor a written task order substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (each a “Task Order”) containing a description of the requested Services, Contractor’s
performance obligations (if and to the extent not already contained in this Agreement), the payment methodology for
the requested Services, and schedule for completion of the Services. Within ten (10) days after City’s issuance of the
Task Order, Contractor will provide City written notice confirming whether Contractor will provide the Services
requested under the Task Order. If Contractor is willing to provide the requested Services (and signs the applicable
Task Order), Contractor will provide the requested Services subject to and in accordance with this Agreement and the
applicable Task Order. If Contractor is unable to provide the requested Services, Contractor will not provide the
Services requested under the applicable Task Order. Each fully executed Task Order will become an attachment to this
Agreement.

1.3 City Information; City Representative. If and to the extent available, City will provide Contractor all
Contractor requested information concerning applicable project requirements, including information concerning
existing facilities, subject easements, rights-of-way, agreements with utilities, as-built drawings, legal descriptions,
and/or any other information in City’s possession which City and Contractor mutually and reasonably determine
necessary or useful in connection with the applicable project. Contractor may rely on the accuracy of information and
documentation furnished by City under this Section 1.3 provided such reliance is reasonable, consistent with the
standard of care described in Section 4.2, and after Contractor’s reasonable examination of the subject information
and/or documentation.
1.4 Schedule; Condition Precedent. The Services will be completed in a timely manner and in
accordance with the schedule identified in the Scope of Work or applicable Task Order. Contractor and City will
routinely consult with each other to ensure effective and efficient provision of Services and minimize expense.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, City’s performance of its obligations under this
Agreement is conditioned on Contractor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, those Contractor obligations identified under Section 4.4.
2. Compensation.
2.1 Compensation. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, in
consideration of Contractor’s timely performance of the Services in accordance with this Agreement, City will pay
Contractor in accordance with the fee schedule attached as Schedule 2.1. Contractor will submit monthly invoices
to City concerning the Services performed by Contractor during the immediately preceding month (each an
“Invoice”). Each Invoice will contain the following information: (a) a summary of the Services performed by
Contractor (and by whom); (b) the number of hours (or fraction thereof) each person spent to perform the
Services; (c) the applicable fee(s) for performing the Services; and (d) all other information reasonably requested
by City. City will pay the amount due under each Invoice within thirty (30) days after City has reviewed and
approved the Invoice. No compensation will be paid by City for any portion of the Services not performed. City’s
payment will be accepted by Contractor as full compensation for performing the Services for which the applicable
Invoice relates. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, total compensation
payable by City under this Agreement for performance of the Services will not exceed $100,000.00 without first
obtaining City’s prior written consent.
2.2 No Benefits; No Reimbursement. City will not provide any benefits to Contractor, and Contractor
will be solely responsible for obtaining Contractor’s own benefits, including, without limitation, insurance, medical
reimbursement, and retirement plans. Contractor will provide, at Contractor’s cost and expense, all materials,
equipment, and supplies necessary or appropriate to perform the Services. City will not reimburse Contractor for
any costs and/or expenses Contractor incurs to perform the Services unless otherwise provided in the applicable
Task Order. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, total reimbursable expenses
payable by City will not exceed the amount identified in the applicable Task Order.
3. Relationship.
3.1 Independent Contractor. Contractor is an independent contractor of City. Contractor is not an
employee of City. Contractor will be free from direction and control over the means and manner of performing
the Services, subject only to the right of City to specify the desired results. This Agreement does not create an
agency relationship between City and Contractor and does not establish a joint venture or partnership between
City and Contractor. Contractor does not have the authority to bind City or represent to any person that
Contractor is an agent of City. Contractor has the authority to hire other persons to assist Contractor in
performing the Services (and has the authority to fire such persons).
3.2 Taxes; Licenses. City will not withhold any taxes from any payments made to Contractor, and
Contractor will be solely responsible for paying all taxes arising out of or resulting from Contractor’s performance

{2315739008-01808251;3}
of the Services, including, without limitation, income, social security, workers’ compensation, and employment
insurance taxes. Contractor will be solely responsible for obtaining all licenses, approvals, and certificates
necessary or appropriate to perform the Services.
4. Representations; Warranties; Covenants.
In addition to any other Contractor representation, warranty, and/or covenant made in this Agreement,
Contractor represents, warrants, and covenants to City as follows:
4.1 Authority; Binding Obligation; Conflicts. Contractor is duly operating under Oregon law and
validly existing and in good standing under applicable Oregon law. Contractor has full power and authority to sign
and deliver this Agreement and to perform all Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement is
the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Contractor, enforceable against Contractor in accordance with its terms.
The signing and delivery of this Agreement by Contractor and the performance by Contractor of all Contractor’s
obligations under this Agreement will not (a) breach any agreement to which Contractor is a party, or give any
person the right to accelerate any obligation of Contractor, (b) violate any law, judgment, and/or order to which
Contractor is subject, and/or (c) require the consent, authorization, and/or approval of any person, including,
without limitation, any governmental body.
4.2 Quality of Services. Contractor will perform the Services diligently, in good faith, in a
professional manner, with the care and skill ordinarily exercised by other engineering professionals practicing in
Oregon under the same or similar circumstances at the time the Services are performed, and consistent with the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. The Services will be performed in accordance with the Laws (as
defined below). Contractor will be solely responsible for the Services. Contractor will make all decisions called for
promptly and without unreasonable delay. All materials and documents prepared by Contractor will be prepared
in accordance with this Agreement and in compliance with the Laws.
4.3 Insurance. During the term of this Agreement, Contractor will obtain and maintain, in addition to
any other insurance required under this Agreement, the types and minimum levels of insurance specified on the
attached Schedule 4.3. Each liability insurance policy required under this Agreement will be in form and content
satisfactory to City, will list City (and City’s Representatives (as defined below)) as an additional insured(s) (except
the workers’ compensation and professional liability insurance policies), and will contain a severability of interest
clause; the workers’ compensation insurance will contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of City. The insurance
Contractor is required to obtain under this Agreement may not be cancelled without ten (10) days’ prior written
notice to City. Contractor’s insurance will be primary and any insurance carried by City will be excess and
noncontributing. Contractor will furnish City with appropriate documentation evidencing the insurance coverage
(and provisions) and endorsements Contractor is required to obtain under this Agreement upon Contractor’s
execution of this Agreement and at any other time requested by City. If Contractor fails to maintain insurance as
required under this Agreement, City will have the option, but not the obligation, to obtain such coverage with
costs to be reimbursed by Contractor immediately upon City’s demand.
4.4 Compliance with Laws. Contractor will comply and perform the Services in accordance with the
Laws. Without otherwise limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Contractor will comply
with each obligation applicable to Contractor and/or this Agreement under ORS 279B.220, 279B.225, 279B.230,
and 279B.235, which statutes are incorporated herein by reference. Prior to the Effective Date, Contractor
obtained all licenses, approvals, and/or certificates necessary or appropriate to perform the Services, including,
without limitation, a business license from City. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Law(s)” means all
applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, restrictions, orders, codes, rules, and/or ordinances related to
or concerning, whether directly or indirectly, Contractor, this Agreement, and/or the Services, including, without
limitation, Oregon’s prevailing wage rate laws (ORS 279C.800 through 279C.870) if applicable, the Davis-Bacon Act
requirements if applicable, the Tax Laws (as defined below), and all applicable City ordinances, resolutions,
policies, regulations, orders, restrictions, and guidelines, all as now in force and/or which may hereafter be
amended, modified, enacted, and/or promulgated.
3 – PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT – ENGINEERING SERVICES
{2315739008-01808251;3}
4.5 Compliance with Tax Laws. Contractor represents and warrants that it has complied with the tax
laws of the State of Oregon (and all applicable political subdivisions of the State of Oregon), including, without
limitation, ORS 305.620 and ORS chapters 316, 317 and 318 (individually and collectively, the “Tax Law(s)”).
Contractor will comply with the Tax Laws. By signing this Agreement, Contractor certifies, under penalty of perjury,
that Contractor is, to the best of Contractor’s knowledge, not in violation of any Tax Law.
4.6 Indemnification.
4.6.1 To the fullest extent permitted by the Laws, Contractor will indemnify and hold City, and
each present and future City officer, official, employee, agent, and representative (individually and collectively,
“City’s Representative(s)”), harmless for, from, and against all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, liabilities,
injuries, losses, and expenses of every kind, whether known or unknown, including, without limitation, attorney
fees and costs, resulting from or arising out of the following: (a) damage, injury, and/or death to person or
property caused directly or indirectly by Contractor (and/or Contractor’s directors, officers, shareholders, partners,
employees, agents, representatives, consultants, and/or contractors); (b) Contractor’s failure to pay any tax arising
out of or resulting from performance of the Services; and/or (c) Contractor’s breach and/or failure to perform any
Contractor representation, warranty, covenant, and/or obligation contained in this Agreement. Contractor’s
indemnification obligations provided in this Section 4.6 will survive the termination of this Agreement.
4.6.2 Notwithstanding Contractor’s indemnification obligations under Section 4.6.1,
Contractor’s indemnification obligation for claims of professional negligence will be subject to and limited in
accordance with ORS 30.140, namely such indemnification obligation will (a) be limited to only such extent as
Contractor’s liability or fault is determined by adjudication, alternative dispute resolution, settlement agreement,
or as otherwise agreed by the parties, and (b) not exceed the proportionate fault of Contractor, as determined in
accordance with Section 4.6.2(a). Contractor will promptly pay the amount equal to the percentage of its fault
determined in accordance with Section 4.6.2(a).
4.7 Assignment of Studies and Reports. Contractor will assign all studies, reports, data, documents,
and/or materials of any kind produced under this Agreement (collectively, the “Deliverables”) to City upon the
earlier of City’s request or the termination of this Agreement. All copies of the materials provided to City will
become the property of City who may use them without Contractor’s permission for any proper purpose relating
to the Services, including, without limitation, additions to or completion of the Services. City acknowledges that
City’s modification and/or use of the Deliverables for any purpose other than the Services will be at City’s sole risk
(and City will defend and indemnify Contractor for any liability and/or damages that may arise due to City’s
modification and/or use of the Deliverables for any purpose other than the Services). Contractor will defend all
suits or claims for infringement of patent, trademark, and/or copyright for which Contractor is responsible
(including, without limitation, any claims which may be brought against City), and Contractor will be liable to City
for all losses arising therefrom, including costs, expenses, and attorney fees.
4.8 Records. Contractor will maintain complete and accurate records concerning all Services
performed, the number of hours each person spent to perform the Services, and all documents produced under
this Agreement for a period of three years after termination of this Agreement. Contractor’s records will be
maintained in accordance with sound accounting practices. Contractor will provide City access to any Contractor
books, documents, papers, and/or records which are pertinent to this Agreement and/or the Services upon
seventy-two (72) hours' prior written notice. Contractor will maintain all books, documents, papers, and records
generated under this Agreement for a period no less than three years commencing on the date of City’s final
payment to Contractor under this Agreement.
4.9 Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement, and at all times thereafter,
Contractor will maintain all Confidential Information (as defined below) in the strictest confidence and will not
directly or indirectly use, communicate, or disclose any Confidential Information to any person, or remove or make
reproductions of any Confidential Information, except that Contractor may (a) use Confidential Information to
perform the Services to the extent necessary, and (b) communicate or disclose Confidential Information in
4 – PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT – ENGINEERING SERVICES
{2315739008-01808251;3}
accordance with a judicial or other governmental order or as required by applicable law, but only if Contractor
promptly notifies the city administrator of the order and complies with any applicable protective or similar order.
Contractor will promptly notify the city administrator of any unauthorized use, communication, or disclosure of
any Confidential Information and will assist City in every way to retrieve any Confidential Information that was
used, communicated, or disclosed by Contractor and will exert Contractor’s best efforts to mitigate the harm
caused by the unauthorized use, communication, or disclosure of any Confidential Information. Upon the earlier
of City’s request or termination of this Agreement, Contractor will immediately return to City all documents,
instruments, and/or materials containing any Confidential Information accessed or received by Contractor,
together with all copies and summaries of such Confidential Information. If requested by City, Contractor will
execute a written certification satisfactory to City pursuant to which Contractor will represent and warrant that
Contractor has returned all Confidential Information to City in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement do not
operate to transfer any ownership or other rights in or to the Confidential Information to Contractor or any other
person. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means all documentation,
information, and/or materials identified by City as confidential and/or any documentation, information, and/or
materials relating to or concerning City’s future plans, business affairs, employment, legal, and litigation matters
that need to be protected from improper disclosure, in whatever form (e.g., hard and electronic copies, etc.), that
is received or accessed by Contractor; provided, however, the term “Confidential Information” does not include
City’s public records which are non-exempt public records under applicable federal, state, and/or local laws.
5. Term; Termination.
5.1 Term of Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the term
of this Agreement commenced on the Effective Date and will remain in full force and effect until 2030, unless

Agreement to the contrary, (a) this Agreement may be terminated at any time by the parties’ mutual written
agreement, and/or (b) City may terminate this Agreement for convenience and without cause by giving thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice of such termination to Contractor. Upon receipt of the notice of termination, except as
explicitly directed by City, Contractor must immediately discontinue performing any Services. The parties may
extend the term of this Agreement for one additional period of two years by the parties’ mutual written
agreement.
5.2 City Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, City
may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Contractor upon the occurrence of any of the
following events: (a) Contractor fails to perform the Services within the time specified in this Agreement; (b)
Contractor engages in any form of dishonesty or wrongful conduct that reflects adversely on City’s reputation
and/or operations; (c) Contractor fails to comply with any applicable law related to Contractor’s independent
contractor relationship with City; (d) repeated and/or consistent documented problems occur in connection with
Contractor’s performance of the Services; and/or (e) Contractor breaches and/or otherwise fails to perform any

receipt of the notice of termination, Contractor must immediately discontinue all Services affected unless the
notice directs otherwise.
5.3 Consequences of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, (a) City will not be obligated
to reimburse or pay Contractor for any continuing contractual commitments to others and/or for penalties and/or
damages arising from the cancellation of such contractual commitments, and (b) after receipt of Contractor’s final
Invoice, City will pay Contractor (in accordance with Section 2.1) for all Services properly and actually completed by
Contractor in accordance with this Agreement through the date of termination; provided, however, City may
withhold payment for an amount approximating the fees for the Services that may be in dispute if City furnishes
written notice to Contractor containing a description of the basis for the dispute and amount withheld.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, termination of this Agreement will not
constitute a waiver or termination of any rights, claims, and/or causes of action the party may have against the
5 – PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT – ENGINEERING SERVICES
{2315739008-01808251;3}
other party. Within a reasonable period of time after termination of this Agreement (but in no event later than
five days after termination), and provided City has paid Contractor for all Services not then in dispute in
accordance with this Section 5.3, Contractor will deliver to City all materials, records, and documentation
concerning the Services.
5.4 Remedies. If Contractor breaches or otherwise fails to perform any Contractor representations,
warranties, covenants, and/or obligations under this Agreement, City may, in addition to any other remedy
provided to City under this Agreement, pursue all remedies available to City at law and/or in equity. All available
remedies are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.
6. Miscellaneous.
6.1 Severability; Assignment; Binding Effect. Each provision contained in this Agreement will be
treated as a separate and independent provision. The unenforceability of any one provision will in no way impair
the enforceability of any other provision contained herein. Any reading of a provision causing unenforceability will
yield to a construction permitting enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Contractor
will not assign this Agreement to any person without City’s prior written consent. Subject to the immediately
preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding on the parties and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors, and permitted assigns, and will inure to their benefit. This Agreement may be
amended only by a written agreement signed by each party.
6.2 Attorney Fees; Dispute Resolution. If any arbitration or litigation is instituted to interpret,
enforce, and/rescind this Agreement, including, without limitation, any proceeding brought under the United
States Bankruptcy Code, the prevailing party on a claim will be entitled to recover with respect to the claim, in
addition to any other relief awarded, the prevailing party’s reasonable attorney fees and other fees, costs, and
expenses of every kind, including, without limitation, costs and disbursements specified in ORCP 68 A(2), incurred
in connection with the arbitration, the litigation, any appeal or petition for review, the collection of any award, or
the enforcement of any order, as determined by the arbitrator or court. If any claim, dispute, or controversy
arising out of or related to this Agreement occurs (a “Dispute”), City and Contractor will exert their best efforts to
seek a fair and prompt negotiated resolution of the Dispute and will meet at least once to discuss and seek a
resolution of the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved by negotiated resolution, either party may initiate a suit,
action, arbitration, or other proceeding to interpret, enforce, and/or rescind this Agreement.
6.3 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without
giving effect to any conflict-of-law principle that would result in the laws of any other jurisdiction governing this
Agreement. Any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement will be litigated in courts located in Jackson
County, Oregon. Each party consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any local, state, or federal court located in
Jackson County, Oregon.
6.4 Attachments; Further Assurances; Notices. Any exhibits, schedules, instruments, documents,
and other attachments referenced in this Agreement are part of this Agreement; provided, however, if any exhibit,
schedule, instrument, document, and/or other attachment conflicts with this Agreement, the terms contained in
this Agreement will control. The parties will sign other documents and take other actions reasonably necessary to
further effect and evidence this Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to Contractor’s performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. All notices or other communications required or permitted by this Agreement
must be in writing, must be delivered to the parties at the addresses set forth above, or any other address that a
party may designate by notice to the other party, and are considered delivered upon actual receipt if delivered
personally, by fax or email transmission (with electronic confirmation of delivery), or by a nationally recognized
overnight delivery service, or at the end of the third business day after the date of deposit if deposited in the
United States mail, postage pre-paid, certified, return receipt requested.
6.5 Waiver; Entire Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or
discharged unless such waiver, modification, or discharge is agreed to in writing by City and Contractor. No waiver
6 – PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT – ENGINEERING SERVICES
{2315739008-01808251;3}
of either party at any time of the breach of, or lack of compliance with, any conditions or provisions of this
Agreement will be deemed a waiver of other provisions or conditions hereof. This Agreement contains the entire

representations, or warranties except as set forth expressly in this Agreement.

Project Title: City of Shady Cove - Model Development Code Adoption, GIS, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Integration.
Project Summary: Replace the existing development code in Shady Cove with a hearings-ready
development code, using a recently created “model” code adopted by the City of Lakeview as a
template, to comply with housing laws, address permitting and land use barriers to housing production,
and facilitate housing production, affordability, and choice.
Project Description & Work Program
See attached work program.
Is the jurisdiction planning to utilize the applicable Sample Work Program as the project statement
of work? Yes ☐ No
Work Program attached. The Policy Development Code Amendment Sample Work Program has been
used and modified as needed to account for the complete replacement of the development code with a
"model" code rather than amending individual sections of the code to comply with statutory obligations
related to housing. The work program also includes the addition of GIS and AI components to improve
equity and accessibility in the planning process.
A. Goals and Objectives.
Like many small cities in Oregon, Shady Cove (population 3,064) has struggled to maintain consistent
staffing in its planning department. In the past, planning services have been contracted with the Rogue
Valley Council of Governments (RVCOG). The RVCOG planners have been tasked with current application
review along with some long-range planning work, but they were rarely empowered to take a long-term,
holistic approach to their work in planning for future growth of the community. They also lacked the
capacity needed to keep the local development code current and in compliance with housing-related
statutory obligations.
The City of Shady Cove is the largest municipality in Oregon without a public water system. The lack of
safe, reliable drinking water in Shady Cove has contributed to a recent decline in population along with
the loss of several key businesses. With the support of funding through SB 1530, the City is in the
process of establishing a water system that can eventually be expanded to serve all existing and future
development in the community. These funds, as they are meant to improve infrastructure to aid housing
development, have also allowed the City to contract for professional land use planning and engineering
services, to not only assist in designing a water system, but also identify other barriers to housing
production. One such obstacle is the inconsistent application of development standards in reviewing
new residential subdivisions and other applications. This inconsistent approach to housing development
has held the City back from accomplishing many of its goals related to creating a vibrant, walkable
community. The City is also currently engaged in creating an updated Local Street Network Plan (LSNP)
using funds provided through a Transportation Growth Management (TGM) grant.
While the LSNP work helped to shed a light on some of the consequences of inconsistent application of
development standards, it also made apparent that much of the City’s development code related to
housing does not provide clear and objective standards. In addition, the City has yet to complete the
Department of Land Conservation and Development
2025-2027 DLCD Housing Planning Assistance Application Page 2 of 8
work of permitting duplex development in all residential zones required by HB 3395.
The City initially considered attempting to amend its existing development code to account for duplex
development and to make clear and objective standards for needed housing development, but
ultimately decided to instead repeal and replace its development code in its entirety for the following
reasons. First, this approach will result in a superior end product at a reduced cost. Rather than continue
to patch or modify a code that has been changed numerous times throughout the years, the City will
instead start with a clean code that has been crafted from the start to meet all current statutory
requirements. By using a model code, the City can start from a solid foundation and then change only
the portions necessary to address Shady Cove specific needs. This will result in a more cohesive code
that is easier to understand and it will be more cost effective as there will be fewer changes to the
model/clean code than would otherwise be needed if changing the existing code. Second, this approach
should help to limit some of the comparison about what was and what will be. It is not unreasonable for
those who have worked on crafting the code over the years to have grown attached to the existing
language. The code must fundamentally change as it relates to housing development - which has been
done through increasingly subjective processes in Shady Cove over the years - to a code that provides
clear and objective standards for all needed housing. Not only will a code constructed with objectivity as
its foundation create a more understandable product, it will help in the process of creating something
new rather than being “forced” to change parts of something that has been customized over the years.
B. Products and Outcomes.
Recognizing that Shady Cove might not always have access to the same level of planning support it
currently has, this project seeks to improve not only the development code, but also the development
review process. Currently, it is very difficult or impossible, for property owners and/or developers to
access information regarding property development in Shady Cove without contacting the City, and in
some cases coming into city hall. This lack of accessible information has likely played a role in creating
the current situation where only a small number of developers are active in Shady Cove. This project
seeks to improve accessibility and create more fair and equitable outcomes. This will be done through
the application of a new “clear and objective” code and improved access to mapping and other
information needed for project planning and due diligence. Finally, to create a sustainable development
review process that is uniformly applied to all projects/applicants, this project will implement the use of
artificial intelligence or AI in linking maps, code, and other resources to generate consistent outcomes
based on the applicable inputs. This will provide equitable outcomes for development projects while also
creating equitable access to superior planning review in the small City of Shady Cove, which has
struggled to compete against other, larger cities in attracting planning staff.
1. Adoption of a new model code to replace the existing development code in Shady Cove. Regional
Rural Revitalization Strategies Consortium (R3) was formed through an IGA with the cities of John
Day, Burns, and Lakeview as a way to share resources between these three cities and maximize
efficiency in developing needed housing. The City of Lakeview, through R3, contacted with CSA
Planning in Medford, Oregon, to develop a development code that could be shared by the three
cities. The code developed by CSA was built from the ground up as a model code, in compliance
with all statutory obligations related to housing, process, and procedure, that can be adapted to
work for any small city in Oregon. By using this code, and modifying it only as needed to align
with Shady Coves existing zones, Shady Cove seeks to simplify the process of amending its code
and adopting a more easily understood final project. This approach also seeks to further
Department of Land Conservation and Development
2025-2027 DLCD Housing Planning Assistance Application Page 3 of 8
standardize development code layout between Shady Cove and other small, rural cities, thereby
making it easier for developers to move between cities with similar processes.
2. City GIS: The project will create a GIS with public interface. The GIS will compile existing
development related maps and other development related data where property owners,
developers, and other members of the public can easily access it. Additional layers and shapefiles
will be created to provide a visual interface with property and development code standards for
development.
3. AI integration. The project will establish an AI interface that will, at a minimum, provide the
following functionality:
- Link property data to development code standards through GIS interface;
- When prompted, provide permitted uses, development standards, and process requirements
for individual properties based on address, map and tax lot number, or location on a map;
- Provide a complete list of all municipal code sections that may apply to a particular use on an
individual property;
- Provide a list of municipal code sections most likely to apply;
- Improve outcomes (likely applicable sections) based on review of recent decisions and other
outcomes; and
- Complete “decision” forms for Type I applications by reviewing permit application
information, property location (GIS) and the application of applicable standards.

Project Criteria and Additional Information
Evaluation Criteria.
The project fulfills a housing-related statutory obligation. The proposed project will produce an updated
development code to comply with Middle housing requirements under ORS 197A.420, clear and
objective requirements under ORS 197A.400, accessory dwellings under ORS 197A.425,
manufactured/prefabricated housing under ORS 197.475, and other housing-related statutory
requirements.
The project facilitated housing production, affordability, and choice. Shady Cove is a small, capacity-
constrained jurisdiction that has struggled to keep its development code up to date with statutory
obligations related to the production of needed housing. The new development code will help with
housing production, affordability, and choice by creating clear and objective processes, providing for
middle housing, and addressing other statutory requirements related to needed housing.
The project emphasizes fair and equitable outcomes. Currently, it is very difficult or impossible, for
property owners and/or developers to access information regarding property development in Shady
Cove without contacting the City, and in some cases coming into city hall. This lack of accessible
information has likely played a role in creating the current situation where only a small number of
developers are active in Shady Cove. This project seeks to improve accessibility and create more fair and
equitable outcomes. This will be done through the application of a new “clear and objective” code and
improved access to mapping and other information needed for project planning and due diligence. Also,
to create a sustainable development review process that is uniformly applied to all projects/applicants,
this project will implement the use of artificial intelligence or AI in linking maps, code, and other
resources to generate consistent outcomes based on the applicable inputs. This will provide equitable
outcomes for development projects.
Project Partners. The City of Shady Cove has been able to contract for additional planning and
engineering support using funds provided through SB 1530 for the development of a city drinking
water system. These funds were approved under Section 9 of the bill for “infrastructure projects to
support the development of housing.” As the City works to plan and develop the city drinking water
system, it is also doing the work necessary to ensure that housing development possesses and
procedures, as directed by the development code, comply with statutory obligations. By combining
these tasks, along with the work being done by Parametrix, Inc. on the City’s LSNP through a TGM
grant, the City is combining project delivery to maximize efficiencies. With this approach, the City is
well positioned to deliver the proposed project (development code update, GIS, AI integration into
planning review) using City staff, and consultant capacity.
Advisory Committees. The City of Shady Cove will use its Planning Commission as the advisory
committee for the code update, GIS, and AI integration project as described on the Work Program.
Cost-Sharing and Local Contribution. This project will leverage the work being done to update the
City’s LSNP plan through a $175,138.18 TGM grant (TGM File Code:3A-23). This project is being
completed by Parametrix, Inc. with the City providing a match of $20,045 or 10.27% of the total
Department of Land Conservation and Development
2025-2027 DLCD Housing Planning Assistance Application Page 5 of 8
project cost. The early results of the work being done on the LSNP indicate a need to update
development code standards to ensure a uniform application of public facility improvement
standards and connectivity standards. Rather than complete this work separate from the needed
changes to middle-housing and clear and objective standards for needed housing, the City plans to
wrap all changes together in an updated development code.
The proposed project will also leverage $1,500,000 provided to the City of Shady Cove through
Senate Bill 1530 “for the development of a city drinking water system.” The City of Shady Cove will
use the new drinking water system to help in retaining its population and business, and also create
greater opportunity for new residential development and economic development. It is imperative
that the City have a uniform, equitable process, in place for future development prior to encouraging
additional growth. By completing this needed code work now while the water system is being
designed and developed, the City can provide for better housing outcomes.
