AMENDMENTS TO TABLES 6 AND 18 AND MAPS 3 AND 8 OF THE

ACTION
REQUESTED:
Consider approval or disapproval of of the following motion:
Move to initiate amendments to the PFSP maps and tables and concurrent Metro Plan amendments to add various stormwater system projects to support
implementation of the Glenwood Refinement Plan, Phase I (GRP).
ISSUE STATEMENT:
Stormwater outfalls are considered significant public facilities under Statewide
Planning Rule 11 (Oregon Administrative Rule 660-011-0005) and are therefore
required to be included in the PFSP. The current PFSP does not include any new or modified public stormwater outfalls to the Willamette River within the GRP
boundary. The GRP identified one new public outfall location in the vicinity of the proposed Park Blocks, and cited that other outfalls will likely be needed depending upon the actual development that occurs. Staff has identified three existing public
outfalls that will likely need to be modified to accommodate future development, and anticipates two others that may be needed.

DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The new GRP identified the need for an unspecified number of new public stormwater outfalls to the Willamette River, and new outfalls must be included in
the PFSP for land use rule compliance. However, for a significant public facility to be included in the PFSP, its proposed general location must be identified as provided in Chapter VI Amendments to the Plan of the PFSP; Chapter IV Metro
Plan Review, Amendments and Refinements; and Section 5.14-120 of the Springfield Development Code. Staff proposes to add to the PFSP the three known existing public stormwater outfalls, the proposed outfall in the vicinity of the Park
Blocks, and two additional locations within the Franklin Riverfront area of the GRP.
Springfield and Lane County will need to conduct public hearings (Springfield Planning Commission; Joint Elected Officials) to consider and adopt the proposed
PFSP amendments.
