Development and Revitalization through Community Partnerships ITEM TITLE: GLENWOOD PRIORITY DISCUSSION
ACTION REQUESTED:
Provide direction to staff related to desired projects and refocusing of resources in
order to support Council’s desire to make Glenwood redevelopment a goal and
priority. This direction might require staff to come back to Council with proposed strategies, scenarios, modifications necessary to shift existing resources from
current non-Glenwood specific projects.
ISSUE STATEMENT:
During their Goal Setting Session, Council chose Glenwood development as their
focus for the upcoming year. As part of this decision, Council requested updates on
current projects and opportunities to discuss the advancement of future projects at a quicker rate than currently planned. Included here is a discussion of current and
future projects in Glenwood including detail related to the impacts of an increased
focus on Glenwood development as a Council goal.

Glenwood Redevelopment
DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
In focusing attention and momentum on progressing development in the Glenwood
area, staff recommends consideration of several key factors; current Glenwood
projects already in motion, future Glenwood projects awaiting allocations of resources, and the current allocation of resources to all projects, both Glenwood
specific and city/region-wide. This discussion is important in making strategic determinations to reallocate or maintain resources from one area in order to expedite development in Glenwood. It is also important in identifying key tasks
and responsibilities which Council might assume in order to assist staff in leading redevelopment efforts in Glenwood.
This is discussed in greater detail as part of the attached Council Briefing Memorandum (Attachment 1) and additional attachments.

ISSUE: During their Goal Setting Session, Council chose Glenwood development as their focus for the upcoming year. As part of this decision, Council requested updates on current projects

COUNCIL GOALS/
MANDATE:
Encourage Economic Development and Revitalization through Community Partnerships
BACKGROUND: In focusing attention and momentum on progressing development in the Glenwood area, staff recommends consideration of several key factors; current Glenwood
projects already in motion, future Glenwood projects awaiting allocations of resources, current
allocation of resources to all projects, both Glenwood specific and city/region-wide, and potential Council tasks and responsibilities for further progressing Glenwood Redevelopment.
This discussion is important in making strategic determinations to reallocate or maintain
resources from one area in order to expedite development in Glenwood. To aid in this conversation, Attachment 2 is included to illustrate, at a high level, the current Glenwood
projects in implementation.
Current Glenwood Projects – Planning, Construction, and Community Development
Planning - With the newly adopted Phase I Glenwood Refinement Plan Update, staff is now
equipped to promote development in the Glenwood Phase I area with clarity of desired land-uses, design standards, and infrastructure needs. While the Refinement Plan Update is complete and adopted for Phase 1, additional planning work is still occurring as staff examine transit
feasibility, code enforcement of the urban transition area, Riverfront Path designs, and the development of appropriate annexation incentives to help stimulate private development.
Construction - At the leadership of Council, staff is also moving forward with the construction
of Franklin Blvd. Phase I, the Franklin Blvd. pedestrian hybrid beacon crossing, the McVay Sanitary Trunk Sewer, the Southbank Path Extension and Glenwood Blvd. Bridge and 17th
Avenue overlays. These public infrastructure improvements are vital to support the current
private development and to launch future development in Glenwood. The majority of these construction projects are anticipated to be completed in 2015 with several, including the Phase 1
construction of Franklin Blvd., extending out into 2016.
Community Development – In addition to distinct planning and construction projects, staff continue to work on important community development projects focused at developing
Glenwood into a healthy and distinct community within Springfield. Ongoing projects include
partnerships to understand impacts of aging infrastructure and development on area mobile home parks, assessments of existing businesses and properties perceived as ‘brownfields,’ and
continued and increased support of existing businesses and new business recruitment.

Future Glenwood Projects – Planning, Construction, and Community Development
As staff continues to work on current projects in Glenwood, they are cognizant of those projects which will be necessary in the future. These projects may be currently unplanned due to lack of resources (time and/or funds) and/or requirements to complete current, predecessor, projects. In
response to Council’s Goal Setting Session identifying Glenwood as a future priority focus, several potential future projects are discussed briefly here to provide examples of work which
might be initiated to expedite further development in Glenwood. While the discussion below is
intended to give a general overview of the types of projects which might be beneficial to pursue in the future, a more detailed list, including anticipated resources necessary to complete the
project, are included as part of Attachment 3.
Planning – The Phase 1 Glenwood Refinement Plan Update, specific to the Riverfront areas, brought clarity and a level of certainty to the land-uses within the Update area. This same level
of certainty and clarity will also benefit the rest of Glenwood from both a Phase 2 Refinement
Plan perspective as well as an overall Stormwater infrastructure planning perspective. Additionally, beginning the planning and design of the Glenwood Park Blocks and Riverfront
Linear Park will be a necessary future step to ensure the efficient development of open spaces
necessary to the success of the surrounding development and environment.
Construction – The construction of future public facilities are projects which are intended to
provide services and amenities to existing and future development. With many possible
construction projects, it is important to assess each to understand which might stimulate development most effectively, provide services to the existing community most efficiently, and
significantly benefit the most partners. Project might include, among others, the acquisition and construction of the Phase 1 Refinement Plan Park Blocks and Linear Park, the Franklin Blvd. Phase 2 right-of-way acquisition and construction, and/or McVay Hwy design, acquisition and
construction.
Community Development – Community development is ongoing and often responsive to the
requests and demands of current market forces. Continuing to develop marketing and
recruitment programs and incentives will only further support the desire to strategically redevelop Glenwood. Future community development projects should continue to support the
needs of existing businesses, working to align those with the desired future vision for the area.
Impacts of an Additional Shift in Focus to Glenwood
Shifting City focus to emphasis development in Glenwood will likely require adjustment to
projected staff work plans. The degree to which adjustment is needed is dependent on Council’s direction as to which future projects should be advanced quicker. In an effort to illustrate the impact of adjustments to work plans, provided in Attachment 4 is a graphic depicting several
broad categories of tasks currently worked on by Development and Public Works staff, as well
as City Manager’s Office staff:
• Glenwood Specific Projects – Planning & Construction
• Glenwood & City-Wide Current Development Review
• Non-Glenwood or Region-Wide Long Range Planning and Plan Maintenance
• Non-Glenwood Capital Construction Projects
• Non-Glenwood Ongoing Program Management
• Daily Required Tasks & Other Miscellaneous Work
Specific projects included within each of the above broad categories are listed in Attachment 4.
Without an increase in available FTE, staff might require a reprioritization of projects currently
fitting within the Non-Glenwood broad categories.

Proposed Glenwood Specific Council Tasks or Responsibilities for Progressing Glenwood
Redevelopment
Many of the projects identified for future implementation would benefit greatly from initial Council leadership with community partners. The Glenwood area is unique, with unique needs
and redevelopment vision requiring new approaches to existing policy implementation. Councilors might facilitate early policy conversations with partners in order to assist in bringing
policies and priorities of multiple agencies in line with the goals to develop Glenwood as a
unique and vibrant healthy Springfield community. Attachment 5 lists some of these opportunities as well as others internal to the City organization.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Provide direction to staff related to desired projects and refocusing of resources in order to support Council’s desire to make Glenwood redevelopment a goal and priority. This direction might require staff to come back to Council with proposed
strategies, scenarios, modifications necessary to shift existing resources from current non-Glenwood specific projects.

PROPOSED GLENWOOD SPECIFIC COUNCIL TASKS OR RESPONSIBILITIES
Included here are staff identified tasks and responsibilities which Council might initiate in order to
provide leadership and assistance to staff in strategically accelerating the redevelopment of Glenwood.
FUTURE PROJECTS PROPOSED COUNCIL TASK/RESPONSIBILITIES
SUB Partnership for Relocation and
Undergrounding of Power Lines
This project might benefit from the support and networking of
Councilors with SUB Board Members. The undergrounding of
power lines is a significant policy decision and project for SUB and
will require significant influence from elected officials.
Establish the Historic Context and
Significance of Glenwood
Councilors might direct the Historic Commission to reprogram
FY14/15 funds to create a historic context statement. This
statement would provide an understanding of the trends and
events which influenced the development of the area. This is an
important step in the place-making of Glenwood.
Prioritization of CDBG & HOME
fund expenditure on Glenwood
projects
Council might direct the CDAC to make qualified housing and
community development projects in Glenwood the highest
priority for funding with CDBG & HOME funds.
Establishment of a regional housing
trust fund
The establishment of a regional housing trust fund would require
initial conversations at a leadership/elected official level to bring
the region together. Initial discussions might occur at the
regional Housing Policy Board.
Prioritization of SEDA Funding for
Desired Projects
Establish priorities/desired criteria for types of projects funded by
SEDA. Private or Public? Employment or Housing?
Develop requirements of projects
funded by SEDA
Should a project receive SEDA funding, it might be required to
develop with additional standards or requirements. The SEDA
Board might discuss this.
Zip Code Adjustment Councilors might initiate discussions with outside agencies.
Re-Alignment of School District
Boundaries
Councilors might initiate discussions with outside agencies.
