Notice of the March 3, 2014 public hearing was posted in four public places in the City: at one location along the property frontage on Central Boulevard; at Springfield City Hall and in the Development and Public Works office; and on the City of Springfield website. Finding: Upon annexation of the subject territory to the City the Low Density Residential 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, but less than 35 days prior to the public hearing. Notification to DLCD regarding the proposed annexation was sent on January 28, 2014, which is 34 days prior to the public hearing. No written objection to the public hearing has been received from the public, applicant, or DLCD. Exhibit C, Page 4 of 7 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 north boundary. Therefore, this annexation application meets the statutory definition of contiguity as found in ORS 222.111(1). 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 not located within an adopted Refinement Plan area and there are no proposed changes to the current zoning or plan designation. Finding: The continued annexation of properties and public street rights -of -way to the City of Springfield is consistent with the Metro Plan, which will result in the elimination of special districts within the urbanizable area. The Metro 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 Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District. The Fire Protection District has a service arrangement with Eugene /Springfield for provision of fire response to unincorporated areas of Willamette Heights. After the public hearing and upon Council adoption of the annexation Ordinance, the annexation area will be withdrawn from the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District consistent with ORS 222.510, 222.520, and 222.525 and the Cities of Eugene & Springfield will provide fire protection service directly to the annexation area. Finding: After the public hearing and upon Council adoption of the annexation Ordinance, 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. • Exhibit C, Page 5 of 7 • 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 recognizes 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 Springfield Utility Board currently provides water service to the Willamette Heights neighborhood. Upon annexation, the subject site would be served by the City by and through the Springfield Utility Board. The territory proposed for annexation contains an existing steel water reservoir tank and abandoned concrete reservoir basins. SUB is requesting annexation to facilitate installation of another steel reservoir tank and pump station in the future. Electricity — SUB Electric provides service to developed properties in this area of Willamette Heights including the subject site. Upon annexation, the property owner will be able to request an upgraded electrical service for the proposed utility installation 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 Willamette Heights 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 Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection 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.

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 and the adopted Willamalane Comprehensive Plan. Library Services — Upon annexation to the City of Springfield, the subject area will be within the service area of the Springfield Public Library. However, it is not expected that the annexation territory will generate any population requiring library services. • Schools — The Springfield School District serves the Willamette Heights neighborhood area. However, it is not expected that the annexation territory will generate any population requiring school services. Exhibit C, Page 6 of 7 Sanitary Sewer — The annexation area is not currently served by sanitary sewer, and it is not expected that existing or future development on the site will require this service. However, the site could be served by • extension of a public sanitary sewer line from the alley between South 5" and South 6'" Streets should this utility be necessary in the future. 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 adjacent the public street system. 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 Central Boulevard, which is classified as an urban local road and is currently under Lane County jurisdiction. Along the property frontage, Central Boulevard is a gravel road that is not improved to urban standards.

Street frontage improvements, if required, will be reviewed and approved through the Discretionary Use and Site Plan Review 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.

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, 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 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. Because the site is an existing public utility facility, it is not expected that the annexation request will generate a demand for additional public improvements to serve the site. Therefore, staff has not required the applicant to execute an Annexation Agreement with the City. Future improvements required to serve the site will be reviewed through the Discretionary Use and Site Plan Review process. Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.
