CITY OF SPRINGFIELD
RESOLUTION NO. 00-62
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD COMMON COUNCIL ADOPTING THE
RATE STRUCTURE FOR THE SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CHARGES AS ESTABLISHED
IN CITY OF SPRINGFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE, SECTION 3.406.
WHEREAS, ORS 223.304 establishes criteria for the methodology to be used in setting rates for
system development charges; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Springfield recognizes the need of having new development pay an
equitable share of the capital improvement costs related to the impacts such new development
has on the City's infrastructure; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council is interested in stimulating investment in downtown to revitalize
Springfield's central core; and
WHEREAS, development in the downtown area, particularly professional office development,
can create family-wage jobs which are vital to the continued economic health of the entire
community; and
WHEREAS, lower system development fees in the downtown area will reduce start-up costs for
new commercial and professionl office development and redevelopment, freeing developer
resources for higher quality site and building design and development, which, in turn, will make
downtown more attractive to other developers; and
WHEREAS, lower systems development fees may help improve Springfield's advantage in
competing with other Oregon communities for businesses seeking to locate in downtown
Springfield; and
WHEREAS, the Springfield City Council finds sufficient bases in the above findings to justify
subsidizing the Systems Development Charges of development within the Downtown
Development Area through General Funds, road funds and other non-Systems Development
Charge sources; and,
WHEREAS, the attached rate structure provides an equitable and fair system of funding a portion
of the capital improvements related to new development:
