DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Council is in the process of reviewing new information and identifying additional
information to be provided by staff to inform the City’s UGB expansion and 2030 plan policy proposals.
• At the April 28th work session the Council received information to compare the
probable costs of providing urban levels of service to the five study areas and directed staff to provide more information to inform Council’s discussion,
including but not limited to: CIBL/EOA policy choices; location and size of
redevelopment areas in the existing UGB; feasibility and cost of phasing service extensions to expansion areas or portions thereof; and economic development
considerations.
• At the May 5th work session the Council reviewed the Results of Stakeholder
Outreach and directed staff to provide more information about flood plain development and agricultural uses.
• At the May 12th work session, Council received information about cost to serve
smaller portions of the study areas and infrastructure financing mechanisms. Council directed staff to bring back information on redevelopable parcels inside
the UGB, parcels that could be redesignated, and look at the potential for a smaller
expansion.
Staff is conducting additional analysis as requested and will provide that information to Council as it becomes available. Staff will bring maps and final information to the work session to support Council’s discussions. As Council seeks to reach consensus
on which lands to be included in Springfield’s UGB expansion proposal, Council may also discuss other actions the City may take to plan and zone sites for economic development and job creation. Staff will be available to provide any technical
information Council may need to facilitate that discussion. Staff encourages Council to request any additional information that may be helpful.
