The Master Plan was approved by the Planning Commission in 2007 as Case LRP2007-00020. The Master Plan area contains five lots ranging from 1.4 to 5.0 acres in size. Lots 1, 2, 4 and 5 have frontage on Corporate Way and/or International Way, while Lot 3 is set back from the public street frontage. Legal access to Lot 3 is afforded through Lots I and 5 by virtue of recorded joint access easements. Currently, the Master Plan area is vacant and a portion of Lot 3 has been graded in anticipation of the initial phase of development approved in late 2007. However, no further development occurred after the project was abandoned. PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS The Master Plan describes the development template for the Liberty Professional Center development, including the planned utility scheme, site access and vehicle circulation pattern, stormwater management facilities, building footprints, and phasing schedule. Master Plans are typically valid for a seven year period with provision for extension. In this case,the Master Plan is already 51/2 years old and no significant development has occurred on the site. The Liberty Professional Center Master Plan also contemplated an initial phase of development on Lot 3 at the northeast corner of the plan area. Because the Lot 3 project was briefly initiated and subsequently abandoned, the applicant is proposing to modify the phasing schedule and overall timetable for the Master Plan area. The nature of the proposed modifications to the Master Plan is limited to changing the phasing schedule to facilitate initial development on Lot 5, and extending the timetable for completion of the Master Plan development. In accordance with provisions of Section 5.13-135.A of the Springfield Development Code (SDC), the proposal is being reviewed as a Type I Final Master Plan Modification. DECISION Preliminary Master Plan Modification approval as of the date of this letter, subject to the conditions described herein. The application was deemed complete on November 13, 2012, and this decision is issued on the 31st day of the 120 days mandated by the State. CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL A. Plan/Zone Consistency: The existing or proposed zoning shall be consistent with the Metro Plan diagram and/or applicable text. In addition, the Preliminary Master Plan shall be in compliance with applicable City Refinement Plan, Conceptual Development Plan or Plan District standards, policies and/or diagram and maps. Finding 1: The site is zoned Campus Industrial in accordance with the Springfield Zoning Map and designated Special Light Industrial in accordance with the adopted Gateway Refinement Plan diagram. The existing zoning is comparable and compatible with the plan designation, and there are no proposed changes to the zoning for the Master Plan area. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion A. B. Zoning District Standards: The Preliminary Master Plan shall be in compliance with applicable standards of the specific zoning district and/or overlay district. Finding 2: The existing Liberty Professional Center Master Plan is in compliance with provisions of the Campus Industrial District, and there are no substantive changes proposed to the Master Plan that would affect its compliance. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion B. TYP 112-00035 Final Master Plan Modification Page 2 of 5 • • C. Transportation System Capacity: With the addition of traffic from the proposed development, there is either sufficient capacity in the City's existing transportation system to accommodate the development proposed in all future phases or there will be adequate capacity by the time each phase of development is completed. Adopted State and/or local mobility standards, as applicable, shall be used to determine transportation system capacity. The Preliminary Master Plan shall also comply with any conditions of approval from a Metro Plan diagram and/or text amendment regarding transportation and all applicable transportation standards specified in SDC Chapter 4. Finding 3: A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was prepared by Branch Engineering Inc. for the Liberty Professional Center Master Plan area in 2007. Staff reviewed and accepted the findings of the TIS at the time of Master Plan approval, and the applicant is not proposing to modify the public street system or anticipated traffic patterns generated by the development area. Finding 4: Since the time of the original TIS and Master Plan approval, the Gateway bus rapid transit (EmX) system has been extended along International Way to serve the Master Plan area and other sites in the vicinity. The transportation system capacity has not been adversely impacted by this transit system upgrade, but it has greatly enhanced the public transit service to the Campus Industrial sector of Springfield including the Liberty Professional Center. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion C. D. Parking: Parking areas have been designed to: facilitate traffic safety and avoid congestion; provide bicycle and pedestrian connectivity within the property and to nearby transit stops and public areas. The Preliminary Master Plan shall also comply with all applicable vehicular and bicycle parking standards specified in SDC Chapter 4. Finding 5: The applicant is not proposing to modify the vehicle and pedestrian circulation pattern adopted in the Liberty Professional Center Master Plan. Additionally, the applicant is not proposing to modify any off-site vehicle and pedestrian facilities. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion D. E. Ingress-Egress: Ingress-egress points have been designed to: facilitate traffic safety and avoid congestion; provide bicycle and pedestrian connectivity within the property and to adjacent residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity centers, and commercial, industrial and public areas; and minimize driveways on arterial and collector streets as specified in this Code or other applicable City and State regulations. The Preliminary Master Plan shall also comply with all applicable ingress/egress standards specified in SDC Chapter 4. Finding 6: The applicant is not proposing to modify the locations of identified ingress-egress points to serve the Liberty Professional Center. The primary site ingress-egress points established in the Liberty Professional Center Master Plan include a shared full-access driveway on Corporate Way, and two shared full-access driveways on International Way. The Master Plan also contemplates a right-in/right-out driveway at the southeast corner of Lot 5. Finding 7: Staff has recently approved a Tentative Site Plan for a corporate office building on Lot 5 (Case TYP212-00009), and the applicant proposes to install a three-quarters driveway at the southeast corner of Lot 5. Staff supports installation of the three-quarters driveway provided there is appropriate measures to prevent left- turns out of the site. Because this is a site-specific and conditional change to the right-in/right-out driveway, the applicant is not required to change the Final Master Plan diagram to acknowledge this modification. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion E. TYPI 12-00035 Final Master Plan Modification Page 3 of 5 • O F. Availability of Public Utilities: Existing public utilities, including, but not limited to, water, electricity, wastewater facilities and stormwater management facilities either have sufficient capacity to support the proposed development in all future phases adequately, or there will be sufficient capacity available by the time each phase of development is completed. The Public Works Director or appropriate utility provider shall determine capacity issues. The Preliminary Master Plan shall also comply with applicable utility standards specified in SDC Chapters 4 and 5. Finding 8: The applicant is not proposing to modify the public and private utility scheme for the Liberty Professional Center. The existing public utility infrastructure on the periphery of the Master Plan area has adequate capacity to serve the anticipated development on the site. As development progresses in the Master Plan area, the developer(s) will be responsible for extending public water lines to serve Lots 1, 3 and 5 as depicted in the Utility Plan (Diagram #5). The developer(s) also will be responsible for installing connections to the available public water, storm sewer and sanitary sewer lines as generally depicted on Master Plan Diagram #5. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion F. G. Protection of Physical Features: Physical features, including, but not limited,,to slopes 15 percent or greater with unstable soil or geologic conditions, areas with susceptibility to flooding, significant clusters of trees and shrubs,watercourses shown on the Water Quality Limited Watercourses (WQLW) Map and their associated riparian areas,wetlands, rock outcroppings and open spaces and areas of historic and/or archaeological significance as may be specified in Section 3.3-900 or ORS 97.740-760, 358.905-955 and 390.235-240 shall be protected as specified in this Code or in State or Federal law. The Preliminary Master Plan shall also comply with applicable physical feature protection standards specified in SDC Chapter 4. Finding 9: At the time of initial Master Plan review and approval in 2007, it was determined there were no notable natural or historic features on the site. Therefore, the proposed modification will not change the status of natural and historic features. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion G. H. Phasing Plan: The Phasing Plan shall: demonstrate that the construction of required public facilities shall occur in a logical sequence, either in conjunction with, or prior to each phase, or that there are appropriate financial guarantees as specified in Subsection 5.13-120.M to ensure the phased public facilities construction will occur. Finding 10: The applicant is proposing to modify the phasing plan approved with the Liberty Professional Center Master Plan in 2007. The initial phase was anticipated to be on Lot 3 at the northeast corner of the development area, and Site Plan approval was granted for a corporate office building on this property. Soon after the initial site preparation, rough grading and utility connection work was initiated the project was abandoned. The applicant is now proposing to develop Phase I on Lot 5 at the southeast corner of the Master Plan area and to have the other four lots within the Liberty Professional Center develop as a later phase. Finding 11: With the proposed change of phasing schedule the developer of Lot 5 will be responsible for extending the joint access driveway serving Lots 3, 4 and 5 from International Way to a point at or near the north property line of Lot 5. Additionally, the developer of Lot 5 will need to ensure the utility connections serving Lot 3 are installed to a point at or near the north property line of Lot 5. In the Tentative Site Plan submittal for the corporate office building on Lot 5 (Case TYP212-00009), the applicant indicates the sanitary sewer line for Lot 3 has already been installed along the west edge of the site. Because it has been about five years since the utility installation work was done, the applicant is required by the land use decision to verify the presence and acceptable condition of the sanitary sewer line. Should the sanitary sewer line be missing or in poor repair the applicant will be responsible for installing the line as shown on the site plan (see Staff Report& Decision for Case TYP212-00009, Condition#3). TYP112-00035 Final Master Plan Modification Page 4 of 5 . • o Finding 12: In accordance with SDC 5.13-I33.C.I, Master Plans are valid for a period of not more than seven (7) years unless modified or extended. The Liberty Professional Center Master Plan was approved July 17, 2007 and is set to expire on July 17, 2014. Finding 13: The applicant is proposing to extend the timetable for Master Plan phasing completion by more than five years to December 31, 2019. Staff assumes the applicant's phasing schedule discussed in Finding I of the project narrative uses calendar year 2013 as Year I and calendar year 2019 as Year 7. The Master Plan is therefore proposed to be extended to December 31, 2019. Finding 14: In accordance with SDC 5.13-135.A.3, a Final Master Plan may be extended by up to three (3) years from the original date of expiry using the Type I modification process. Extending the phasing schedule more than three years requires a Type II Modification process in accordance with SDC 5.13-I35.B.9. Therefore,the proposed phasing timetable can be extended by a maximum of three years to July 27, 2017. CONDITION OF APPROVAL: 1. The Liberty Professional Center Final Master Plan phasing schedule and development timing shall be modified to specify an expiration date of July 27,2017. . Conclusion: As conditioned herein, this proposal satisfies Criterion H. I. Adjacent Use Protection: The proposed Preliminary Master Plan contains design elements including, but not limited to landscaping/screening, parking/traffic management, and multi-modal transportation that limit and/or mitigate identified conflicts between the site and adjacent uses. Finding 15: The applicant is not proposing to modify the provisions for protection of adjacent uses with this application. The Liberty Professional Center Master Plan currently provides for on-site vehicle and pedestrian circulation; parking and cross-access between lots within the development area; landscaping and screening of parking lot areas; and connections to the local transportation network and public transit facilities. Design guidelines for building appearance and site landscaping are also incorporated into the Master Plan as Appendix 1. It is expected the Master Plan area will remain compatible with existing Campus Industrial sites in the vicinity. Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion I. SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. The Liberty Professional Center Final Master Plan phasing schedule and development timing shall be modified to specify an expiration date of July 27,2017. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE The applicant shall provide three (3) copies of the Modified Final Master Plan within 90 days of the date of this letter(ie. by March 14,2013).
