without Planning Commission consideration.

party annexation applications.
Finding: A Development Issues Meeting for the subject annexation request was held on January 30, 2013.

Annexation Initiation and Application Submittal (SDC 5.7 -125): In accordance with SDC 5.7- 125.B.2.b.i
and ORS 222.170(1), an annexation application may be initiated by "more than half the owners of land in the
territory, who also own more than half the land in the contiguous territory and of real property therein
representing more than half the assessed value of all real property in the contiguous territory consent in writing
to the annexation of their land ".
Finding: The property owner who owns all of the land and real property, and full assessed value of real
property in the contiguous territory, has. filed an application and petition requesting annexation to the City of
Springfield (Attachment 3).
Conclusion: The application requirements in SDC 5.7 -125 have been met.
Site Information: The territory requested for annexation is an assembly of six contiguous tax lots located on
the north side of Franklin Boulevard just west of the intersection with McVay Highway. The subject site is
inside the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and comprises a total of 1.35 acres in aggregate.
According to the applicant's submittal, the subject annexation territory is intended to be developed with three
residential apartment buildings, parking lot, and on -site landscaping. The territory requested for annexation is
contiguous to the Springfield city limits along the south boundary (Franklin Boulevard frontage) of the site.
Existing public services are provided to the annexation area as follows: police (Lane County Sheriff,
Springfield Police Department), schools (Eugene 4J School District), roads (Lane County and City of
Springfield), and Fire (Cities of Eugene & Springfield). Springfield Utility Board (SUB) provides electricity
service to the proposed annexation area and Glenwood Water District currently provides water service. Upon
annexation, the City of Springfield will be responsible for all urban services, including sewer, water, electricity
and police /fire response to the subject area.
Notice Requirements (SDC 5.7 -130): Consistent with SDC 5.7 -130, notice was provided as follows:
Mailed Notice. Notice of the annexation application was mailed January 20, 2014, which is at least 14
days prior to the public hearing date, to the affected property owner(s); owners and occupants of
properties located within 300 feet of the perimeter of the affected territory; affected neighborhood
groups or community organizations officially recognized by the city that includes the affected territory;

Newspaper Notice. Notice of the February 3, 2014 public hearing was published in The Register -
Guard on January 20 and 27, 2014.

City: at one location along the property frontage on Franklin Boulevard; at Springfield City Hall and in
the Development and Public Works office; and on the City of Springfield website, on or before January
20, 2014.
Exhibit C, Page 3 of 6
Finding: Upon annexation of the subject territory to the City the current Residential Mixed -Use zoning will be
retained, but the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District (UF -10) will no longer apply. Due to this change, the
Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) was notified in writing of the annexation
proceedings more than 35 days prior to the public hearing. Notification to DLCD regarding the proposed
annexation was sent on December 9, 2013.
Conclusion: Notice of the public hearing was provided consistent with SDC 5.7 -130.
Recommendation to City Council (SDC 5.7 -135): The Director shall forward a written recommendation on
the annexation application to the City Council based on the approval criteria specified in Section 5.7 -140, which
are provided as follows with the SDC requirements, findings, and conclusions. The Director's recommendation
follows SDC 5.7 -140, Criteria.
Criteria (SDC 5.7 -140): The application may be approved only if the City Council finds that the proposal
conforms to the following criteria:
A. The affected territory proposed to be annexed is within the City's urban growth boundary; and is
1. Contiguous to the city limits; or
2. Separated from the City only by a public right of way or a stream, lake or other body of
water.
Finding: The subject annexation territory is located within the acknowledged urban growth boundary (UGB) of
the Eugene- Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan). The area requested for annexation abuts
the Springfield city limits along the south boundary (Franklin Boulevard street frontage). Therefore, this
annexation application meets the statutory definition of contiguity as found in ORS 222.11 l(l).
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.
B. The proposed . annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any
applicable refinement plans or Plan Districts;
Finding: The Metro Plan was acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC)
in August, 1982 and has been subsequently amended. The annexation area is located within the acknowledged
UGB of the Metro Plan. Territory within the delineated UGB ultimately will be within the City of Springfield.
Finding: The territory requested for annexation is located in the adopted Glenwood Refinement Plan area and
there are no proposed changes to the current zoning or plan designation.
Finding: The Urban Transition and Annexation section of the adopted Glenwood Refinement Plan recognizes
that, ultimately, all territory within Glenwood will be annexed to Springfield.
Finding: The continued annexation of properties and public street rights -of -way to the City of Springfield is
consistent with the Metro Plan and the adopted Refinement Plan, which will result in the elimination of special
districts within the urbanizable area. The Glenwood Refinement Plan recognizes that as annexations to the City
occur, the special district service areas will diminish incrementally and eventually will be dissolved.
Finding: The territory requested for annexation is within the Glenwood Water District. The water district has
service arrangements with Eugene /Springfield for provision of fire response to unincorporated areas of
Glenwood. After the public hearing and if determined by the City Council that withdrawal is in the best interest
of the City, the annexation area will be withdrawn from the Glenwood Water District consistent with ORS
222.510, 222.520, and 222.525 and Springfield Utility Board will provide water service directly to the
annexation area.
Exhibit C, Page 4 of 6
Finding: After the public hearing and if determined by the City Council that annexation is in the best interest of
the City, the annexation area will be annexed into the Willamalane Park and Recreation District as authorized by
an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Springfield and Lane County. The park district provides
park and recreation facilities and services to territory within the City of Springfield.
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.
C. The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities
and services as defined in the Metro Plan can be provided in an orderly efficient and timely manner;
and
Finding: The Metro Plan and the adopted Glenwood Refinement Plan recognize annexation as the highest
priority for extending the minimum level of key urban facilities and services to urbanizable areas.
Finding: The territory requested for annexation will take advantage of urban service delivery systems that are
already in place or can be logically extended to serve this area. In addition to urban utilities, the following
facilities and services are either available or can be extended to this annexation area:
Water — The Glenwood Water District currently provides water service to unincorporated areas of Glenwood.
Upon annexation, the subject site would be served by the City by and through the Springfield Utility Board.
Existing water infrastructure within the vicinity will be maintained by the affected utility providers. Although
there is existing public water service on the north side of Franklin Boulevard, SUB Water has advised that the
applicant may need to upgrade the water service to the property in order to achieve the desired dwelling unit
density on the site.
Electricity — SUB Electric provides service to developed properties in this area of Glenwood including the
subject site. Upon annexation, the property owner will be able to request an upgraded electrical service for the
proposed residential development. Existing electrical system infrastructure within the adjacent public rights -of-
way will be maintained by the affected utility providers.
Police Services — Springfield Police Department currently provides service to areas of Glenwood that are
already inside the City. The subject territory is within the joint jurisdiction of Springfield Police Department
and Lane County Sheriff's Department. Upon annexation, this area will receive Springfield Police services on
an equal basis with other properties inside the City.
Fire and Emergency Services — Fire protection is currently provided to the annexation area by Eugene/
Springfield Fire Department under contract with Glenwood Water District. Upon annexation, the City will
continue to provide fire and emergency services to the subject territory.
Emergency medical transport (ambulance) services are provided on a regional basis by the Eugene /Springfield
Fire Department, and Lane Rural Fire /Rescue to central Lane County. The annexation area will continue to
receive this service consistent with the adopted ambulance service area (ASA) plan. Mutual aid agreements
have been adopted by the three regional ASA providers to provide backup coverage for each other's
jurisdictions.
Parks and Recreation — Park and recreation services are provided to the City of Springfield by the Willamalane
Park and Recreation District. The park district operates several indoor recreation facilities, such as the
Willamalane Park Swim Center, Lively Park Swim Center, Memorial Building Community Center, and
Willamalane Adult Activity Center. The park district offers various after- school and other programs for
children at schools and parks throughout the community. Also available are pathways and several categories of
parks, including community parks, sports parks, special use parks, and natural area parks.
Exhibit C, Page 5 of 6
Concurrent with annexation to the City of Springfield, the subject area will be annexed to the Willamalane Park
and Recreation District consistent with City policy, if the City Council determines that annexation to the special
district is in the best interest of the City.
Library Services — Upon annexation to the City of Springfield, the subject area will be within the service area of
the Springfield Public Library.
Schools — The Eugene 4J School District serves the Glenwood area. Future residents of the planned apartment
buildings on the site would be served by the following public schools: Edison Elementary School; Roosevelt
Middle School; and South Eugene High School.
Sanitary Sewer — The annexation area can and will be served by extension of a public sanitary sewer line from
the trunk line in Franklin Boulevard. Extension of the public sewer system is a necessary component of the
City's redevelopment plans for Glenwood.
Stormwater — The subject annexation territory is not currently served by a piped stormwater management
system. Incremental improvements to the public stormwater system will be required as development plans are
advanced for the subject site and adjoining properties. The site can be served by a combination of on -site
treatment and regulated discharge to the constructed stormwater facilities in the adjacent Park Blocks, which
will be developed in the future. There are no immediate planned changes to the public stormwater management
system associated with this annexation request.
Streets — The subject annexation area has frontage on Franklin Boulevard, which is classified as a major arterial
street and is currently under ODOT jurisdiction. Along the property frontage, Franklin Boulevard is improved
with curb and gutter, curbside sidewalk, lane striping and street lighting. There are no immediate planned or
required street improvements associated with this annexation request. Street frontage improvements, if required,
will be reviewed and approved through the Site Plan Review and Public Improvement Project (PIP) process.
Solid Waste Management — The City and Sanipac have an exclusive franchise arrangement for garbage service
inside the City limits. Upon annexation, solid waste disposal service can be provided by Sanipac.
Communication Facilities — Various providers offer both wired and wireless communication services in the
Eugene - Springfield metropolitan area. Existing providers and those entering the market have the capability to
provide service to this area.
Land Use Controls — The annexation area is within Springfield's urban growth boundary. Through an
intergovernmental agreement between Lane County and the City of Springfield, the City already has planning
and building jurisdiction for Glenwood. The City will continue to administer land use controls after annexation.
Finding: The minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as outlined in the Metro Plan and the adopted
Glenwood Refinement Plan, are either immediately available or can be provided within a reasonable future time
frame as needed.
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.'
D. Where applicable fiscal impacts to the City have been mitigated through an Annexation Agreement or
other mechanism approved by the City Council.
Finding: The public agency requesting annexation is well aware of the requirements for future dedication of
public rights -of -way necessary to accommodate planned public street extensions; the need for extension of
urban utilities to serve the site and land beyond the annexation area; and the responsibility of the developer to
fund such improvements. The applicant and the City have executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
addressing potential fiscal costs for annexation of the subject property. The MOU is a conceptual agreement
Exhibit C, Page 6 of 6
intended to clarify the timing and allocation of responsibility for dedication of public rights -of -way, extension of
utilities, construction of public street improvements, and integration of the subject property with adjacent public
and private developments as specific costs become available. Due to the draft status of street and other
infrastructure plans in Glenwood, the MOU is an acceptable level of detail for annexation approval at this time.
Staff has reached agreement in principle with the applicant on key elements of the proposal and continues to
work with the applicant to finalize details of access, utilities and infrastructure costs based upon the most current
plans available. A copy of the executed MOU is included herein as Attachment 3.
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.
