Rezoning of Transferred Glenwood Properties
From:
Date:
Subject:
I
~SUE !
Property within Glenwood (formerly within the city limits of Eugene) was r~cently transferred to
Springfield by the Lane County Boundary Commission. The Boundary Corhmission has no
authority to rezone property, therefore Eugene zoning districts still apply to this land even though
this land is now within Springfield. The Planning Commission is requested ,to correct this situation
by recommending a change to Springfield zoning districts most duplicative of current Eugene
zoning districts. I
DISCUSSION
In December, 1998, Springfield, Eugene and Lane County transferred jurisdictional responsibility
of Glenwood from Eugene to Springfield by amending two separate sections! of Metro Plan text.
One of the direct consequences of this Plan amendment was the need to transfer any incorporated
area from Eugene city limits to Springfield city limits as quickly as possible. This transfer occurred
on February 4, 1999, at the direction of the Lane County Local GovemmentBoundary
Commission. The Boundary Commission action becomes final on March 22, 1999.
The area subject to transfer is approximately 223 acres, is mostly developed land is well distributed
throughout Glenwood. The matter before the Planning Commission, and on;March 22nd before the
City Council, is the rezoning of this land from Eugene zoning districts to Springfield zoning
districts. The accompanying staff report, findings and conclusion includes a map of the subject
area (Exhibit B) and a table showing each lot's size, refmement plan designation, Eugene zoning
and comparable Springfield zoning (Exhibit A). Exhibit A indicates that aLl,of these lots are
designated on the Glenwood Refinement plan for industrial or commercial zoning, but seven are
zoned residential. The staff report recommends Springfield residential zoning for these seven lots
". .. until at least the public hearing on Springfield adoption of the Glenwoodl Refinement Plan. This
action," the staff report says, "is taken deliberately to elicit more direct and wide-spread citizen
involvement in this process." The other 61 lots in this action are recommended for commercial or
industrial zoning.
I
I
I
Based on the findings and conclusions contained in the attached report and exhibits, staff requests
the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval of these p~oposed zone changes
to the Springfield City Council. I

I
Criteria of Approval:
,
I
Zone changes within the City of Springfield are subject to criteria found in Section 12.030 of the
Springfield Development Code. These criteria read as follows: ;
(1) Consistency with the Metro Plan Text and Diagram;
I
(2) Consistency with applicable Refinement Plans, special area studiesiandfunctional plans;
and
(3) That the property can' be served by 'the orderly and efficient extension of key urban
facilities and services as prescribed in the Metro Plan prior to or injconjunction with
development. I

Background and Context for this Action
Metro Plan
.
Springfield, Eugene and Lane County jointly participated in the preparation and adoption of the
Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan in the late 1970's and early 1980's. One
result of this joint effort was the determination that the responsibility for Glenwood jurisdiction
required an objective, independent analysis that each jurisdiction would p~icipate in and jointly
adopt. This study was completed in 1984 and concluded that Eugene, not ~pringfield, was
responsible for providing urban services to Glenwood. Since the provision of these services
comes almost exclusively through annexation, Glenwood would eventually become a part of the
City of Eugene. I
1
I
The three governing bodies and the state of Oregon concurred with this d~termination so in early
1985 the City of Eugene began work on the Glenwood Refmement Plan. in July 1990, Eugene
and Lane County adopted the Refmement Plan thereby establishing new l~d use policies and
specific zoning districts for Glenwood. This jurisdictional responsibility remained with Eugene
until 1998. On November 16, 1998, the City of Springfield and Lane Coubty adopted a Metro
Plan text amendment transferring jurisdiction of Glenwood from Eugene ~o Springfield. On .
December 7, 1998, the City of Eugene adopted the same Metro Plan text amendment. The first
"test" of this amendment occurred on February 4, 1999, when the Boundary Commission, at the
request of the two cities, transferred incorporated territory within GlenwOOd from Eugene to ..
Springfield. This action was approved unanimously and as of February 24, 1999, no request for.
a remonstrance election has been filed. . :.
I
I
Zoning I
i
The transfer of Glenwood jurisdiction through the Metro Plan amendment process has created
several "gaps" in finalizing all land use authority transfers. Glenwood h~ not been rezoned to.
Springfield zoning districts, either within the city limits or in the urban tnp1sition area. This is
not a violation of the Metro Plan per se because existing Eugene zoning is consistent with the
Metro Plan diagram. However, the City of Springfield cannot administerlzoning districts it has
not adopted, and the City of Springfield has not adopted the Eugene Code or the Glenwood
Refinement Plan. . . I
I
This circumstance exists throughout all of Glenwood, not just the incorpdrated areas. All land in
Glenwood carries Eugene zoning districts adopted by Lane County in accbrdance with the
provisions of an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Eugene. rlane County can rezone
this property to Springfield zoning districts (in confonnance with the Metro Plan) after the
agreement with Eugene has been amended to delete any reference to Glerlwood, and once the
agreement with Springfield has been amended to include Glenwood.
Refinement Plan
.
A further action necessitated by the transfer of Glenwood is adoption of the Refinement Plan by
the City of Springfield. This action, which includes a citizen advisory cobmittee, is underway
and is scheduled for public hearings during the Summer and Fall of 1999[ The existence of a
refinement plan is not a requirement of state law, but is often a practical ~ecessity. If tIte
acknowledged comprehensive plan lacks the specificity and detail that allows for certainty and
precision when making land use decisions, a refinement plan becomes in~ispensable. This is
21-3
.
why the refinement plan was prepared originally, and this is why the elected officials of
Springfield and Eugene agreed that the refinement plan should be "converted" into a document
that could be adopted and implemented by the City of Springfield. Until this part of the
Glenwood transition is concluded, the Metro Plan, which the refinement plan mimics at a finer
level of detail, will be used as the overriding planning document upon which land use decisions
will be based. The Springfield Development Code, which received "post-acknowledgement"
approval by the state for conformance with the Metro Plan, will provide the regulatory basis for
land use application review.
Zone Change Criteria
This request involves 68 tax lots that, in the aggregate, total about 180 acres. One of these lots is
zoned C-l; seven are zoned RA; and the remaining 60 lots are zoned 1-2. The Metro Plan
designation for all of these lots is Light Medium Industrial, however, the Glenwood Refinement
Plan designates 13 lots as Commercia1lIndustrial Mixed-Use.
.
This refinement plan designation was found to be consistent with the Metro Plan designation.
An additional finding detennined that Eugene 1-2 or C-l zoning districts were equally suitable
for implementation of the mixed-use refinement plan designation. Springfield's Light Medium
Industrial (LMI) and Community Commercial (CC) zoning districts are comparable to Eugene 1-2
and C-l districts in terms of purpose, intent and pennitted uses. This report recommends that '.
Springfield LMI zoning be applied to all lots currently zoned 1-2 even if the refinement plan
designation is "Mixed-Use" because translating current Eugene zoning to the most analogous
Springfield zoning is the most direct and equal treatment available. .. The same rational holds true .
for the C-l10t being zoned to CC and the RA lots being rezoned to LDR.
Springfield's scheduled adoption of the Glenwood Refinement Plan later in 1999, includes an
opportunity to rezone property in conformance with the refinement plan diagram, including
applying a new, mixed-use overlay district. The City will work closely with the property owners
in these areas to seek a more permanent solution to this issue.
CRITERIA 1: CONSISTENCY WITH THE METRO PLAN TEXT AND DIAGRAM
Section II-C of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan reads as follows:
"C. Eugene and Springfield Jurisdictional Responsibility
The division of responsibility between the two cities is the Interstate 5 Highway. .
However, state law (1981) provides a mechanism for creation of a new city in the River
Road-Santa Clara area."
Policy 5.b, Pages IV-2 and IV-3 of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan reads
as follows:
.
"5.b. A site specific Ty,pe I Metropolitan Plan amendment that involves a UGB
expansion or Plan Boundary change and a Type II Metropolitan Plan amendment.
between the city limits and Plan Boundary, must be approved by the home city and Lane
County (Springfield is the home city for amendments east of 1-5, and Eugene is the home
city for amendments west of 1-5). The non-home city will be sent a referral of the
. \
'3 1-4
.
.
.
proposed amendment and, based upon a determination that the proposal will have
Regional Impact, may participate in the decision. Uriiess the non-home city makes
affirmative findings of Regional Impact, the non-home city will not participate in the
decision."
These two Plan citations vest Springfield with land use jurisdiction "east of 1-5" which
clearly includes Glenwood. Land use jurisdiction includes zone changes. Because this
land is within the city limiis of Springfield, Lane County is not required to participate.
Chapter I, Section D. Use of the Plan
"The Metropolitan Area General Plan is a policy document'intended to provjde the three
jurisdictions and other agencies and districts with a coordinated guide for change over a
long period of time. The major components of this policy document are: the written
text, which includes findings, goals, objectives, and policies; the Plan diagram; and other
supporting materials.
The Plan diagram is a graphic depiction of: (1) the broad allocation of projected land
use needs in the metropolitan area; and (2) goals, objectives, and policies embodied in
the text of the Plan. Some of the information shown on the diagram includes land use
categories, urban growth boundaries, and major transportation corridors. . .
The degree to which the General Plan provides sufficient detail to meet the needs of each
jurisdiction will have to be determined by the respective jurisdictions; and where
conflicts exist among the General Plan, refinement plans and existing zoning, each
jurisdiction will have to establish its own schedule for bringing the zoning and
refinement plans into conformance with the General Plan.
It is recognized that the needs, priorities, and resources vary with each jurisdiction and
that the methods and timing used to implement the Plan will also vary."
The proposed Springfield zoning districts (LMI, CC, WR) closely duplicate the existing
Eugene zoning districts of 1-2, C-l and RA. Some of these properties carrying these
zoning districts are not in conformance with the Metro Plan or Glenwood Refinement
Plan diagram designations. Consistent with the preceding Metro Plan text citation, the
City of Springfield is deferring }OO% plan-zone consistency until at least the public
hearings on Springfield adoption of the Glenwood Refinement Plan. This action is taken
deliberately to elicit more direct and wide-spread citizen involvement in this process.
Chapter I, Section E. Relationship to Other Plans and Policies
"In all cases, the Metropolitan Plan is the guiding document, and refinement plans and
policies must be consistent with the Metropolitan Plan.. Should inconsistencies occur,
the Metropolitan Plan is the prevailing policy document."
Chapter II Plan Principles
"4. Comprehensive plans identify and establish the Plan zoning consistency ~oncept and
recognize the importance of timing concerning implementation techniques. ,,'
Implementation techniques, including zoning, shall generally be consisterit with the
'41-5
.
precepts established in the Metropolitan Plan, which is the broad policy document for the
metropolitan area."
"5. The zoning process shall be monitored and adjusted to meet current urban land use
demands through the planning period for all land use categories."
"6. The Metropolitan Plan is based on the premise that Eugene and Springfield, the two
existing cities, are the logical providers of services accommodating urban levels of
development within the urban growth boundary."
The proposed action to rezone these properties with Springfield zoning districts is
consistent with these principles. The zoning on 61 of the 68 lots is consistent with the
Metro Plan diagram,' the question of timing is predicated on the need for Springfield to
administer this land now (beamse it is in the city limits), but also honor the Glenwood
Refinement Plan citizen involvement process currently underway; and providing
Springfield urban services to these properties cannot occur without Springfield zoning
districts.
Chapter III, Section B. Economic Element
"6. Increase the amount of undeveloped land zoned for light indus~al and commercial
uses correlating the effective supply in terms of suitability and availability with the
projections of demand."
.
"7. Encourage industrial park development, including areas for warehousing and
distributive industries and research and development activities."
"8. Encourage the improvement of the appearance of existing industrial areas, as well as,
their ability to serve the needs of existing and potential light industrial development."
"10. Encourage economic activities which strengthen the metropolitan area's position as
a regional distribution, trade, health, and service center.
"13. Encourage compatibility between industrially zoned lands and adjacent areas in
local planning programs."
By providing each of these parcels with appropriate Springfield zoning districts, the .
opportunity for development, consistent with the Metro Plan and Glenwood Refinement.
Plan becomes possible. The meaning of the expression "consistent with" applies not
only to the application of Springfield zoning, but also to the ability of the City to
implement these preceding policies within the meaning and purpose provided by
application of the Springfield Development Code.
From the Metropolitan Plan Diagram
.
''The Plan diagram is a graphic depiction of: (1) the broad allocation of projected
land use needs in the metropolitan area; and (2) goals, objectives and policies
embodied in the text of the plan. One cannot determine the exact desigt!ation of a
particular parcel of land without consulting with the appropriate local jurisdiction.
. s 1-6
''-" .l-?--:'~t~3::' ~'~'~~~$!~~~_'t'
.
Local jurisdictions make more specific interpretations of the general diagram
through refinement plans and zoning."
The proposed action uses the Metro Plan diagram as the basis for most of the
zone change recommendations. Not all of these actions are in conformance with
the diagram, however, the ultimate timing of appropriate zone change actions is
based on other issues, including citizen involvement, provision of services, supply
and demand and other principles and policies of the Metro Plan cited throughout
this report.
(2) CONSISTENCY WITH APPLICABLE REFINEMENT PLANS, SPECIAL
AREA STUDIES AND FUNCTIONAL PLANS; AND
.
The Glenwood Refinement Plan is the only other planning document applicable to the
properties included in this action. However, the City of Springfield has not adopted the
Glenwood Refinement Plan therefore cannot currently implement this document. The
City of Springfield and the City of Eugene jointly adopted the "Glenwood Transition
Agreement" that in part states: ''The parties recognize that the Glenwood Refinement
Plan will remain in effect following the adoption of the Metro Plan amendment
transferring jurisdiction until further amended by Springfield and Lane County. The
Springfield City Council will promptly initiate necessary proceedings to consider .
ameriding the Glenwood Refinement Plan to recognize the transfer of jurisdiction. On or
before September 30, 1999, Springfield and County will complete all necessary review
and take final actions on proposed amendments to the Glenwood Refinement Plan.
Thereafter, any changes to the Glenwood Refinement Plan shall be subject to the existing
process for amendment of such plans."
To this end, the City of Springfield has prepared a work program, including a citizen
involvement component, that establishes a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) and sets
forth a schedule of public meetings with the CAe. The charge of the CAC is to relate
policies within the refinement plan to policies within the Metro Plan or recommend to
the Springfield City Council adoption of policies unique to Glenwood. The zoning
districts proposed in this action are nearly duplicative to existing Eugene zoning and do
not allow uses or activities in contravention to any existing Glenwood Refinement Plan
policies. This is a certainty because the zoning codes of each city implement the Metro
Plan and the Glenwood Refinement Plan cannot contravene the policies of the Metro
Plan.
(3) THAT THE PROPERTY CAN BE SERVED BY THE ORDERLY AND
EmCIENT EXTENSION OF KEY URBAN FACILITIES AND SERVICES AS
PRESCRIBED IN THE METRO PLAN PRIOR TO OR IN CONJUNCTION
WITH DEVELOPMENT.
.
The Boundary Commission must consider this same criterion when reviewing an
annexation application. The staff report for the transfer of this land from Eugene to
Springfield (Boundary Commission File C SP 99-07) is responsive to this criterion and is
attached as Exhibit C. "
61-7
" \~'Ji~~> r~~~'~r~~~j-;.:~$.~. ~~T\'~~.;~~ ,<1: ;i:r~"(~',}'?~. ~
Conclusion and Recommendation
.
This action is necessary to achieve planning and building jurisdiction of the land
transferred from Eugene city limits to Springfield city limits. Application of Springfield
zoning districts establishes development regulations adopted by the Springfield City
Council and implemented by the Springfield staff. Without this action, Eugene zoning
districts remain in place and Springfield does not have the authority or appropriate
agreements in place to administer the Eugene Code.
This action is consistent with existing zoning. Each Eugene zoning district has a similar
counterpart in the Springfield Development Code. This relative match exists because
both cities adopted the same comprehensive plan and both cities rely on their respective
zoning codes to provide the primary implementation of plan policy, particularly land use
designations. This action is not insistent upon absolute plan/zone conformity because of
deference given to a citizen involvement process that will not conclude until the Fall of
1999. This citizen involvement process will culminate with a number of
recommendations regarding changes to the Glenwood Refinement Plan to make that plan
consistent with zoning and policies adopted by the City of Springfield. The rezoning
proposed in Jo. No.99-02-0030 does not make this property any more or less conforming
to the existing refinement policies and land use designations. Staff recommends approval
of the zone changes requested in this application.

This proposal is consistent with boundary commission policies and this standard.
Make boundary commission determinations which are consistent with acknowledged local
comprehensive plans. Assure an adequate quality and quantity of public services required in
the comprehensive plan to meet existing and future growth. For major boundary changes,
there must be assurance that the proposed unit of government is financially viable. ORS

The proposed transfer area is within the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan
urban growth boundary. Jbe Metropolitan Plan was acknowledged by the Land Conservation
and Development Commission (LCDC) in August 1982 and has subsequently been amended. In
December 1998, the Metropolitan Plan was amended by Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County
elected officials after re-evaluating the earlier 1984 detennination that Glenwood should be
within Eugene's jurisdiction. The plan amendment approved in late 1998 changed Glenwood
jurisdiction from Eugene to Springfield [amendments to Chapter II, Section C, page II-C-l and
Chapter IV, policy 5(b), page IV-3]. The plan amendment process was completed December 28,
1998, and the plan amendment is acknowledged.
.
The area proposed for transfer to Springfield is designated for commercial-industrial mixed use
an.d.li.g~~-~edium.i~du~trial use. in the Metropolitan Plan and Glenwood Refinement Plan. Th~
transfer area is zoned 1-2, light-tnedium industrial; C-l, neighbOrhood' commercial; and RA,
suburban residential, in the City of Eugene. After the transfer becomes effective, Springfield will
rezone the area to LMI, light-medium industrial; CC, community commercial; and LOR, low-
density residential, consistent with plan designations.
The Glenwood Refinement Plan will require revisions to make it compatible with the Springfield
Development Code. The city anticipates the process will be completed by September 1999. If
needed, the Springfield Planning Commission will be asked to provide a fonnal interpretation of
the Springfield code to resolve any interim conflicts.
The following services are provided to the transfer area and will continue to be provided as
described.
Water - The area proposed for transfer is within .the City of Eugene and provided water service
by the Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB). Upon the effective date of the transfer, the area
will be withdrawn from Eugene and simultaneously annexed to Springfield. Water service ~.ill
be provided as directed in the Glenwood Transition Agreement". which states that EWEB will'.'
continue to provide water service to the transferred area until such time as EWEB and the
Springfield Utility Board (SUB) execute a written agreement to change the water service
provider. Pending .such an agreement, Eugene and Springfield will each receive one-half of all
payments in-lieu-of taxes made by EWEB for territory currently in the Eugene city limits
following transfer to the City of Springfield. .
.
The general managers of SUB and EWEB submiued a joint leller expressing their commitment
to ensuring the orderly transition of water service after the area is transferred to Spri"ngfield. The
managers note that the two utilities have been resourceful in the past in resolving issues in .

be annexed automatically into the Willamalane Park and Recreation District in accordance with
ORS 199.51O(2)(c). The City of Springfield receives park and recreation services by being a part
of this special district. The park district does not anticipate any difficulty in providing service to
the transfer area since it is primarily developed with industrial uses.
Schools - The transfer area is within the Eugene School District #4J and the area will remain in
this school district after the area becomes a part of the City of Springfield.
Wastewater - The transfer area is currently provided wastewater service by the City of Eugene.
Upon the effective date of,tbe transfer, the area will be withdrawn from the City of Eugene and
simultaneously annexed to the City of Springfield. After the area becomes a part of Springfield,
wastewater service will be provided by the City of Springfield. The . Glenwood Transition
. Agreeq1ent sets forth a reimbursement schedule which directs Springfield to reimburse Eugene
approximately $1.6 million in infrastructure investment in Glenwood. The two cities agree to
request amendments to existing agreement to designate certain lines as "regional" facilities to
handle effluent from more than one jurisdiction. The designation will not have any physical
effect on the current service, which will continue uninterrupted.
.
Stormwater - Upon the effective date of the transfer, the area will be withdrawn from the City of
Eugene and simultaneously anne~ed to the City of Springfield. After the area is transferred to the.
. '" - 0"' .. I... ..' o. . . ...
City 'of Springfield, the. city will assess the need for improvements on all the transferred
temtories. Over time, Springfield will provide for orderly improvements. The only. curb and
gutters currently in place in the transfer area are on 17th A venue extending from the west side of
Henderson to the east side of Glenwood Avenue; on 17th Avenue from the west side of
Glenwood Avenue to the end; and on the east side of Glenwood A venue from the south side of
Franklin Boulevard to the south side of 1 ih Avenue. The city will maintain these facilities after
the transfer.
Streets - Those streets in Glenwood which are currently in the City of Eugene will be transferred
to the City 9f Springfield upon the effective date of the transfer of territory. The legal
descriptions and assessor's maps of previously annexed territories give a complete, detailed
description of those streets for which the City of Springfield will be responsible.
The major roadway servicing Glenwood is Franklin Boulevard (State Highway 126). As a state
highway, its maintenance, including traffic signals and street lights is the responsibility of the.
State of Oregon. The other public roads in Glenwood fall into three categories: (a) streets for
which Eugene has assumed responsibility; (b) Lane County roads; and (c)' public roads with no
maintenance. A portion of 1-5 is included in the transfer request. 1-5 is a state highway and will
continue to be the responsibility of the state.
Solid waste management - Private firms and individuals collect and transport solid waste to the
Lane County administered landfill. After the territory is transferred, franchise fees will be paid to
Springfield and providers will continue to provide service consistent with the Springfield Code.
.
Communication facilities - Various providers offer
services in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area.
