Executive Summary
The final site plan application for the Hawes International Marketplace building was approved
on February 8, 2008. The applicant has submitted an application for a minor site plan
modification to relocate a trash enclosure facility to an area in the parking lot. The proposal
would replace 3 parking spaces with trash enclosure on the west side of the main lot. The
enclosure will be mostly shielded from view by a 5'8" high masonry wall.

Site Plan Minor Modification

• •
Upon staff review, it was concluded that the proposed amendment will not substantively alter
the established site plan and that important design elements such as traffic circulation, parking,
storm water management and landscaping and screening will not be affected. The proposed
amendment is thereby approved with one condition: The Drinking Water Protection signage
that was required and installed for the existing trash enclosure shall be related to the new
enclosure facility. If the existing signs are not currently in place, please contact Amy Chinitz
at SUB about replacement signage.
By this approval,the Final Site Plan (DRC2007-00060) approved for this project is amended to
include the replacement sheet and details provided in this application. No new conditions have
been required. The original Development Agreement is still in force and no new conditions of
approval are added by this action to that Agreement. It is the position of the City of Springfield
that the existing Development Agreement for this project commits the applicant to build
according to the approved Final Site Plan as modified by the approval of this modification.
II. Procedural Requirements
Section 5.17-145 (C) of the Springfield Development Code (SDC) states that "the Director shall
determine whether the Site Plan Modification will be processed under the Type I or Type II
review process." A Type I Minor Site Plan Modification application is evaluated under the Type
I review process. A Type I modification is "a modification in the location or type of required
landscaping or an insignificant change in the number and/or layout of parking spaces."
The proposed relocation of the trash enclosure to the parking area does not change the access
to the Hawes building or the circulation pattern on the site. The modification does not increase
the amount of impervious surface or change the pattern of flow to existing catch basins.
Finding#1. Based on an evaluation of the submitted plan, an inspection of the Hawes
Marketplace site, and a review of the plan by public works staff, the Director has determined
that the proposed change is consistent with the definition of a Type I Minor Site Plan
Modification under the provisions of SDC Section 5.17-145 (C).
SDC Section 5.4-100 (Table 5.4-1) of the Springfield Development Code Development
Applications shows that Minor Site Plan Modification is a Type I application. Type I decisions
are made by the Director without public notice and without public hearing. Under a Type I
procedure,the Director may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application. The
Director's decision shall address all of the applicable approval criteria and /or development
standards. The director's decision is the final decision of the City. The Director's decision is
effective on the day that it is mailed or otherwise provided to the applicant.

SDC Section 5.17-145 (D) states that the criteria of approval for a Site Plan Modification
application shall be in compliance with the applicable standard and/or criteria of approval
specified in Section 5.17-125.
The criteria for approval listed in Section 5.17-125 include:
A. The zoning is consistent with the Metro Plan diagram, and/or the applicable Refinement
Plan diagram, Plan District map, and Conceptual Development Plan.
B. Capacity requirements of public and private facilities, including but not limited to, water
and electricity; sanitary sewer and stormwater management facilities; and streets and traffic
safety controls shall not be exceeded and the public improvements shall be available to serve
the site at the time of development, unless otherwise provided for by this Code and other
applicable regulations. The Public Works Director or a utility provider shall determine capacity
issues.
C. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design
and construction standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations.
D. Parking areas and ingress-egress points have been designed to:facilitate vehicular
traffic, bicycle and pedestrian safety to avoid congestion; provide connectivity within the
development area and to adjacent residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity
centers, and commercial, industrial and public areas; minimize driveways on arterial and
collector streets as specified in this Code or other applicable regulations and comply with the
ODOT access management standards for State highways.
E. Physical features, including, but not limited to: steep slopes with unstable soil or
geologic conditions; areas with susceptibility of flooding; significant clusters of trees and
shrubs; watercourses shown on the WQLW Map and their associated riparian areas; other
riparian areas and wetlands specified in Section 4.3-117; rock outcroppings; 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.
"A. The zoning is consistent with the Metro Plan diagram, and/or the applicable
Refinement Plan diagram, Plan District map, and Conceptual Development Plan."
Finding#1: The Metro Plan Diagram shows that the subject site is designated Campus Industrial.
The Springfield zoning map shows the site is Campus Industrial. Public facilities such as the
subject site are allowed uses within the Campus Industrial zoning district when such uses meet
specific development standards.

Finding#2: The subject site is an existing office structure and parking facility. The proposed
relocation of the trash enclosure to the west side of the parking lot does not change or intensify
the use of the site.
"B. Capacity requirements of public and private facilities, including but not limited to,
water and electricity;sanitary sewer and stormwater management facilities; and streets and
traffic safety controls shall not be exceeded and the public improvements shall be available to
serve the site at the time of development, unless otherwise provided for by this Code and
other applicable regulations. The Public Works Director or a utility provider shall determine
capacity issues."
Finding#3: The proposed trash enclosure does increase the need for utilities or services. The
existing trash enclosure is hydraulically isolated and connected to the sanitary sewer. The
relocated trash facility will also be connected to the sewer. No increased utility consumption is
proposed.
Finding#4: The area where the structure will be built is paved. The parking cover will not
introduce any additional impervious surface. The construction of the structure will not result in
a change in the volume of or flow of runoff from the site. Existing catch basins will receive
runoff from the new structure.
"C. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design
and construction standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations."
Finding#5: The structure will be designed to comply with existing Building Code Standards.
The Community Development Division will require permits, will review building plans and
inspect construction as it proceeds.
Finding#6: The Hawes International Marketplace was designed and constructed to meet
current water quality standards. The proposed modification does not change the stormwater
management plan that was approved as part of the original site plan..
"D. Parking areas and ingress-egress points have been designed to:facilitate vehicular
traffic, bicycle and pedestrian safety to avoid congestion;provide connectivity within the
development area and to adjacent residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity
centers, and commercial, industrial and public areas;minimize driveways on arterial and
collector streets as specified in this Code or other applicable regulations and comply with the
ODOT access management standards for State highways."
Finding#7: The proposed structure will not alter the access/egress points to the existing office
structure and parking area from abutting streets. There will be no neighborhood impacts due
to the construction of the improvement.
